Wierd 'my documents' freeze in Schap's 3.60a - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Came across a very odd problem - when I try to create a new folder in my 'local drive' (not the storage drive) my Hermes freezes up - well not QUITE a freeze, everything goes
v e r y s l o w .... and text entry stops working in whatever app I've tried to use - either Explorer or Total Commander.
Only solution I've found so far is a soft-reset... other file operations on the local drive (renaming files etc.) work fine! Also everything works fine on the Storage Drive - but if I try to either:
1. make a new folder or
2. rename the folder (that got named 'new folder' by explorer) after a soft-reset
- on the local drive, the damn thing freezes up.
Anyone else experience anything similar?
Only running apps / today plugs are SPB Mobile Shell, AEB button, Slide2 unlock... will try in SPB's "safe mode" and report back.

Well post in the Schaps thread for starters...

yeah?... thought it might be easier to deal with here. ok will add it in there...

Tomtom Navigator and Map V605 help plzzz.

Hello, I have a legal tomtom v 5.21 installed on my BA. till now i was using a v562 map and ordered the latest cd of european & gb maps from the tomtom site. I got the Cd and I had run the whole setup on from my computer, followed all the instructions of adding GB / france maps onto my 2gb mmc card and it copied everything on the sd card and gave the msg Installation complete.
Now when i switch tomtom ON - on my ppc, it displays me an empty screen, i mean a greyed screen with a + ad - icons on the top left n right side and all gray i dont know y.
I tried to switch to my old map and it works fine, but when i tried to swtich onto the new one, it doesnt. I even tried to install the GB plus map tht came on the CD and it still appears gray. Can someone please help me, y is this happening, is there something wrong that i did. I mean i just followed the instructions on the cd.
cheers
Try deleting currentmap.dat from \my documents\tomtom and then run with the new maps again.
did you copy your Great_Britain_Plus-Map.cfg from your old map folder into your new map folder?
nop mate, i didnt copy the .cfg file. ill try it out today, do you want me to copy or not to copy. cheers
Install the new map, copy the old Great_Britain_Plus-Map.cfg file into the new folder - you may need to rename it because the configuration file should match the name of the map folder so if the map folder is Great_Britain_Plus_Map the configuration file should be Great_Britain_Plus_Map.cfg or if you map folder is Great-Britain-Map then your configuration file should be Great-Britain-Map.cfg
In my experience it is well worth deleting currentmap.dat from the \my documents\tomtom this file doesn’t contain anything of interest it seems to just remember the name and location of the map you last used, although it has just accrued to me that I don’t think this is causing your problems as this would normally cure a “map not found” error message!
To check that you have got the configuration file name correct run TomTom and then check that there is only one .cfg in the map folder, if there are two then you have made a mistake with the name.
The configuration file contains, favourites, history, home location and GPS setup
Hope this makes sense, difficult to explain on here!! 
Cheers Bluetba for the help, It worked but in a very diff way. I copied the map again on the the SD card, deleted the currentmap.dat file, but then tomtom wasnt able to pik up the map, u know when you get the map choice and you select the relevant map, tomtom got stuck there.
Lucky, i copied the currentmap.dat back to tomtom folder, then ran tomtom again, selected the map V605 and it worked perfect, dono whts wrong, but it shows me everything perfect.
But is V605 perfectly working, i read 2-3 comments that its not suitable, doesnt plan perfect. dono if you know abt it.. cheers anyway mate
Glad you got it working, bit strange though!
I had no problems with V605, well othing obvious that I can remember anyway and I use TomTom alot, and I would rather have an upto date road map than anything else anyway.
I am using V671 and that has an error in my area that has been introduced into this version, strange really but I did read somewhere that map makers introduce errors so that they can identlfy which version is which and where they came from.
Glad your sorted
Cheers
hahaha, i was reading a post where one of the users mentioned that he was going to manchester via the long flyover in birmingham.... and tomtom said - go straight - which meant, to smash into the concrete divider and fall down.. hahahah... strange..
well bluetba, do u know how can i add addresses to my contacts, i meant contact navigation. I cant see any program or icon on how to add address details to the contact. Cheers mate

Tomtom 6.02 soft reset issue

Hi,
I'm having some trouble with my TomTom 6.02. It wasn't pre-installed so i had to install it on my device. I've installed the mail app on the device itself and the maps and other crap on the storage card ( 2gb ).
Now the problem is that whenever i soft reset my orbit tomtom start up automatically. i found a folder in my windows dir ( /windows/startup/storage card/autorun.exe ) which is responsible for this trouble. I've tried to deleted it ( or rename it) but as soon as i make a soft reset the folder just comes back.
I also found the autorun.exe on my storage card ( /storage card/2577/autorun.exe ). after deleting this file and making a soft reset tomtom doesn't start up anymore, however if i start tomtom manually it tells me that there are no maps found. if i place the file back on my storage card tomtom start's up normally with all the maps.
I looked in the register but didn't find any links to the /windows/startup.... and yes i've tried to re-install tomtom twice now.
Does anyone had this problem or maybe knows a solution?
thx for the help
Just re-name the folde (anything2577)
I had same problem where it always wants to re-install after sprite backup resets. Just re-name the folder named 2577 to eg. AB2577 and that stops the repeated installs. If you want it to auto install in future just re-name again to 2577
the problem is, if i do this, tomtom doesn't find any maps anymore. it starts up, but with an error that there are no maps found.
Why not install version 6.03?

I use this on version 6.03 without any problems, so you may want to try that as well.
Hi,
First copy all the data onto a harddrive. Then delete the whole data on the sd Card and format the SD card. Then all you need to do is copy all the files into the SD Card this time using activeSync and it converts the files. This takes about 20-30 minutes. Leave it and then go to file explorer. Go to storage card and then go to 2577 folder. In this folder don't click on autorun instead run ttn ot ttn2003. I think this would solve the problem

it works! Strange, cause bluetooth explorer wasn't enabled, I 'enabled/disabled' it and deleted the folder.
did you try turning it off and on again, sir?
This is really weird...
I followed the instruction and all started to work just fine..
Then, just for the heck of it, I checked the "enable Bluettoth explorer" box again...
Guess what? It doesn't find the maps! If I uncheck it, it cmoes back to worki perfect...

How to unlock Car PC using Windows CE 5.0

Hi
I have the following Car PC A2270P from Roadrover ( http://www.roadrover.cn/E/productshow.asp?id=49&mnid=19046 ).
Tech specs :
- CPU 400MHZ (manufacturer unknown)
- 128 MB DDR RAM
- 128 MB NAND Flash
- Windows CE 5.0 ( as written in the user manual )
It has a USB port (that reads only flash USB)
It has a SD slot
In the shipped SD 1 GB card, a GPS Navigation application Route66 was included "Navigate7.exe". It is launched by pressing "NAVI" button
Once installed in my car, I found that Windows mobile was "locked" .
Only *.txt and audio and video files can be browsed and executed.
I can not install any additional application on the SD card.
In the SD card I tried the following :
- added dll included in "packdllxania.zip"
- added GSFinder.exe (file explorer), renamed it "Navigate7.exe" instead of the Route66 application.
- Pressed the "NAVI" button hoping that GSFinder will be launched instead of the GPS application. But I got an error message saying that the GPS application could not start
Do you have any idea how to :
- backup the installed Windows and applications
- unlock the installed Windows in order to have a "real" Car PC on which I can install my programs
Thanks for your help
try to get ITaskMgr, rename it to Autorun.exe and move into "2577" dir on SD card. Insert card after boot process. You will need select Process tab and terminate any app which look like carsystem menu
Sorry for this delay, but it is not very convenient to transport laptop to the parking in order to do the experiments in my car.
Anyhow, I tried the following with TaskMgr for WinWM2003SE
- with a new SD card : created directory 2577 and copied in it TaskMgr.exe, renamed it to Autorun.exe, inserted it in the Car PC, started it : nothing happened, the normal choice menu appeared as usual. I pressed the button "NAVI" and had the message "enter activation code". It seems that only the original SD card can be used.
- with the original SD card : created directory 2577 and copied in it TaskMgr.exe, renamed it to Autorun.exe, inserted it in the Car PC, started it : nothing happened, the normal choice menu appeared as usual.
Then, I copied TaskMgr in the root, renamed it "Navigate7.exe" (original GPS program" then pressed the button "NAVI" and had the message "could not launch GPS application".
It seems that the Car PC vendor deactivated the boot from the SD card.
Do you have any other suggestion ?
Do you have any idea how Windows mobile was locked in that case ?
I checked the different connections in the back of the Car PC, none suggests a USB connection equivalent to the one used to connect to a laptop via ActiveSynch.
Is there is any program or trick that can bypass the default start menu ?
In the past, I had a Medion GPS with WinCE4. I found a method on Internet to unlock it by accessing from a Laptop, via ActiveSynch, to the internal files and applications. By modifying the default application, I was able to install other programs.
For my Car PC, do you know how to access to the internal files ?
As I have a CD-DVD reader in my Car PC, do you think that I can use a bootable CD ? Does it exist for Windows Mobile ?

Hello guys,
I own an HTC HD2.
I am looking for a windows mobile car pc (Din 1, DVD, GPS, BT, USB, 7 inch touch screen...) because I don't want to wait 1-2 minutes for the boot up of an XP-baed car-pc.
1) Do you recommend any WM car-PCs?
2) If there is no such a device, what is the best car-Pc that I can use by hacking it in order to be able to install other wm softwares such as google maps, games, dictionnaries etc ?
3) What is the optimal case for me since I already own the HTC HD2 in conjunction with my future car-pc (the HD2 does not support video-out).
Since I am new into this world and need some guidance...
Thank you in advance
welcome!
I have No name car unit (like FVpower 1 din)
Sound look like low cost radio car. (I lost all bass )
CD reader on unit is the same like 24,99€ DVD player.
If you use gps unit, you can find somme software who can play MP3 with good equiltzer.
soud is better with that.
I don't know for good unit (pionner, LG or other...) but the WINCE of unit do an HARD RESET when you turn of unit. (I did good plug, +12 and ingnation) maybe the CR2032 battery is out..
I have to start a Mortscript all time if i want show the desktop (Desktop without shortcut...)
So don't worry, good new, Time of GPS fix is very quickly! ( 10sec Max)
Bye
I had a similar issue with the hp ipaq 310 some time ago - my process is outlined here:
http://tamsppc.tamoggemon.com/2008/08/07/the-great-ipaq-310-jailbreak/
However, there is not much to gain here in most cases: windows ce.net NOT windows mobile...
Take a good quality mainstream car DVD audio or AV player, and add screens as you need. Go for mainstream brands and not cheap stuff. There is a quality difference, and auto electronics lifetime is greater than consumer electronics stuff, where the life is assumed to be 18-24 months within which you get the new generation to keep the gravy train rolling. Cars, on the other hand would use an audio system for about 5 years, so it needs to be better engineered..
Hope it would be helpful.
RoadRover all-in-one in-dash Chinese GPS Unit
I also have a RoadRover GPS unit. The unit functions well. I am very pleased with it.
However, for example, some pop-up screens do not stay visible for long enough before reverting back to the main window.
The iPod screen enables you to connect to the iPod. You can then press a button and the Song/Track/Album titles are displayed. You can then use some arrows to scroll down the window. Unfortunately the pop-up windows has a limited life. You do not get long enough to read what is in the window before it disappears. You then have to repeat the rigmarole again and again trying to get to the bottom of the screen before it disappears.
I would like to change this behaviour if possible.
I have loaded MioPocket and tried it out. But I prefer ceFFM .
My question is this.
How can I copy the OEM software over to a memory card?
I would like to use a winCE emulator (like this one) and try to learn what the OEM software does and then modify it.
to OP:
I vaguely seem to remember rooting Win CE based GPS a while ago. The method was similar to what was suggested about Autorun.exe.
I remember having exactly same problem.
The solution was to realize that the unit run from another directory, not the one I was patching. The directory content was the same or very similar, but the actual runtime file structure was created froma directory I didn't look at at first.
So, look around. May-be search for a directory name or a file name, and see if you can find it buried within some other seemingly obscure directory. Good luck.

Thanks. Good advice.
I discovered, running ceFFM, that the unit stores some files in places called StaticStore as well as NAND Flash. NAND Flash I think is where ceFFM has saved its files because I found a folder with that name there. Inside is a folder called installation.
On the other hand StaticStore contains 4 folders. Namely
App
D2280
P1.0-MV2.0-TV1-302A-R
pp12060063650000
The last two folders are empty so must be placeholders or something.
App contains 4 executables- docviewer.exe, pdfviewer.exe, presviewer.exe,XLS.EXE. Self explanatory. There also 21 dll files here as well with cryptic names that seem to be associated with the 4 executables. I get this!
D2280 contains 6 folders ; Fonts, Photo,PLAYER,Poem,Skins,Telephone. It also contains a number of executables;
DebugLog.exe ... a debugger I guess!
DVDPlayer.exe ... DVD player
Go.exe ... a game
iPod.exe ... the iPod app
Manager.exe ... this one loads the GUI. I have managed to load it in all its glory in the emulator.
Mp3Player.exe ... mp3 player
NoteBook.exe ... notebook app
Othello.exe ... a game I think
PhotoViewer.exe ... an image viewer
Radio.exe ... the radio app
SysSet.exe ... I think it sets up where the naviagtor software is located.
Telephone.exe ... to sync with the mobile phone.
​As well as these 12 programs/executables/Apps there are 9 DLL files, 1 LANG.EXP, 4 ini files, 1 GUI.DLL.txt file (certificate signer?)
I was hoping to find an iPod ini file.
I don't know if the DLL files can be examined, but none seem to have any reference to the iPod app.
Stumped.

PocketIE doesn't connect

Hi,
I'm experiencing problems with PocketIE.
Simply it doesn't not load pages: as soon as I tap Go or I give Enter, it says "Connecting..." in the bottom bar, then 0 KB, then nothing again, and does not load anything!
It simply stays idle on the default home page!
Every other application is able to use my internet connection.
Any suggestions
Ciao, ErMeglio
Looks like you have a connection issue: problem is not PocketIE, but your PDA don't connect to internet.
Just to be sure, try istalling other browsers: OperaMini, etc. I bet, other browsers will not connect, too.

This happened to me when i imported my config XML using advanced config.. the only way to fix it is to hard reset i think.
I discovered this because I wanted to install signed OperaMini in my own language as I always did: downloading from IE by Mobile. That's the only way to get it signed, since suggestions I found on other threads didn't work(MANIFEST modify).
The fact is this situation is after an HR and Internet works perfectly: WLM is listening "as items arrive" and so my Exchange email set in Active Sync.
BUT, this is also after me messing with SDConfig.txt...I've set all my usual apps and some xml and this:

actually makes sense.Infact one of the XML I make SDConfig.txt import is the one exported from AdvanedConfig, just after my personalizations. I don't remember if I did import it again by the app another time after HR, but I don't think so. Did you try importing it differently(SDConfig, other apps)? I'd like to understand if it's the xml itself, or the importing from the AdvConf app.
I've just noticed that the index file of IE cache (on sd according to my xml) is somehow "locked": I can't delete it. It could be IE can't write there too.
I'm doing a complete loong scan disk of my Micro by Windows Vista (even if I never had a problem, it always complains about corruption, so let's try and see what Mr. Bill can do )...then I'll delete cache from pc and try again...
I've much to learn to get my SDConfig work in all its parts
@abusalza
Yes, I'm using PDACornerPro.V22 but posted separately because this issue was not there at first, so it's -99%- sure it isn't your rom's fault, thanks for interesting
As soon as I get everything working through SDConfig, I'll go for final v23, I see you're uploading
[UPDATE]
Ok, just did the scandisk and it found 450MB of damaged files! I really don't know where and how, but I deleted the so-big FOUND.000 directory it made and didn't really understand where all that stuff came from.I deleted any file into IE's cache dirs too but no luck with IE, same matter.
Will flash V23, make SDAutoRun do its duties and see...
If it's confirmed to be an AdvConf matter, why don't we discuss it with Schap?
Well, just to let you or someone who comes here later know how this story finished, I found which was the matter!
With AdvancedConfig I changed the Application Data directory and moved it to storage card.
Seems IE didn't like that tweak: I simply changed it to \Application Data again and woilà, IE started working
Thanks for pointing me to the solution

Run down on startup programs

Hi guys. I am running stock ATT Tilt 2.
From the files in the Windows\StartUp folder
HTCStartUp - What does this program do? Important
MessageCSPTool - Does? Important?
PKG - Does? Important
poutlook - I assume it just loads the mail in the background so it loads and responds faster.
Question though,
On StartUp it runs NewBreak.exe, I want to dump that. How?
Also, it is running two programs for mail, one called "tmail.exe" and the other is the "poutlook.exe". Do I need both? What does tmail.exe do?
I'd also like to know what I can remove from startup. I have Tmous, and do not use Outlook to sync, I also do not use push email. I would like to remove anything that is not ABSOLUTELY necessary from startup. Some programs may have installed in startup, and I am perfectly happy just starting them manually when I need them, rather than having them start every time.
poutlook.ink
bttrayce.ink
delwmptempfolder.ink
htcstartup.ink
syncmanager.ink
instant forward.ink
pkg.ink
rungnangent.exe
ysrem.exe
Thank you in advance for your insight to this matter.
Try to move the files...
Try to move (cut / paste) one of the files in the startup folder ONE AT A TIME!! to a temporary folder (any place will do other than where it is now)
(these files are "links" or "'Shortcuts" to the real files in /Windows directory)
Make sure you have all your data backed up to a flash card or SD micro flash card or try the Microsoft "MyPhone" service... After all.. it's free. so if you end up with a phone that wont start up normally you can do a hard reset and the phone will revert back to factory clean install or what ever ROM you flashed into it. Then you can recover your stuff off of the MicroSD card or the MyPhone service.
1 make a new folder in the /windows/startup folder e.g. "temp" or "test"
2 tap and hold one of the files e.g. 'poutlook' - hold it untill you get the blue dots and then a menu.
3. select the "CUT" option from the menu
4. tap on the new folder you created to navigate into it, and then tap and hold untill you get the menu again, and then select "Paste"
5. do a soft reset and see what happens. Play around and see what is working and what is not working.
6. If nothing bad happens try another file until either you get the result you want OR all the files a gone, OR badness happens.
Most of these programs just run in the background and start services like bluetooth or Pocket Outlook so that they will start faster when you select them.
I removed Myfaves from the startup folder on my wing and it stopped My Faves from starting and gave me about 6MB of program memory back.
I never tried the others.
I just got my Touch Pro 2 so i'd be curious to see how you make out.
