Hello all,
Wanted to share that I was able to install the cab file taken from the palm messing that was found in the MDA section of xda-developers.com forum, can't find the thread now sorry!!!!!! But I was able to install and get the program to send text messages out, but it will not thread because in the registry couldn't I couldn't change the sms key to sms.old
In the Dash registry it was a lil different than the MDA, if anyone could help would be greatly appreciated. I know it's simple just not sure, still neebe but willing to learn and try!!!!!!!!
Yes..someone please get this to work. As i'm sure we are all coming from MDA or similar devices. I was one of the lucky ones to get the threaded sms app from Palm working on my device. It's definitely nice. Don't get me wrong the 2 sms threader apps that are available now: sms threader & TXTMAN are nice..but they have some big tradeoffs that didn't occur on the Palm version.
umm..wow..it really does work. I did the normal instructions from the "How-To"... no notification sounds for it though. Im sure a little registry hacking could fix that. Everything threads hmm..testing mms..well i actually i cannot test..just realized I can't even navigate anymore lol. Pressing the back key closes the program. ARGHH! you can get around the smiley's and Mytext just buy bringing up the option but other than that it looks like a dead end. Any suggestions?

I have 1.5 for smartphone but cant get it to work either, crashes upon running, I bound bengalboys site but cant find the install guidelines, anyone have the link?

I was using the cab file for the ppc and I haven't been able to get it work like it was working on the MDA. Tried all kinds things in the registry, but nothing seemed to work.
Then I finally got the thread to work but all together lost MMS, As for your situation did you make the registry tweaks to sms and mms1 and change them to .old? Not to familiar with 1.5 and assuming it may have to have the same setup. If I find anything I will let you know.
For now I have taken it off and it required for me to reset the phone and start all over. So once again I will be working on the aforementioned issues.
I didnt do the registry entries, I wasnt able to find them on BB's site.
The version I have is branded as "SmartPhone" vs the PPC version which I also have.
I think it is for the older processor type maybe?
G
ok, found the info on BB's site and made the registry changes as well as the app unlock.
VC still refuses to run on my Dash, all I get is "VoiceCommand has encountered a problem, restart voice command"
Noticed that voice comand also completely breaks the built in voice dialing
G
Could someone send me the install file please? thanks

It seems this user has disappeared. Please, if anyone still has the SmartPhone branded version of the software please PM me or reply and I'll contact you.
Thanks in advance,

I also need the smartphone version. If one of you good hearted souls can assist with this. thanks in advance.
I guess this would be directed more towards Cingular (AT&T) users since Xpressfail is a feature of that carrier.
On my 8525 with Xpressmail when I get an email the today screen will show "Xpressmail 1 unread" and a notification icon will appear at the top of the screen. Instead of the normal text bubble or phone with a ! beside it, the notification icon is alittle Cingular xpressmail icon. This would look real good on a while background but on the dark WM6 themes it looks pretty goofy.
Any ideas on how I could extract the little icon image and change the background to black or transparent and then import it back in?
I never thought anyone else would want to know this
As a matter of fact, yes. But it's not too easy. You need to go into the /Windows directory with ActiveSync and copy the sevenresDll.dll file to your desktop. This file contains several icons that Xpressfail can use, amongst other stuff. Then you need to extract the XM icon from that file. I used MicroAngelo for that, and to create a replacement icon, ensuring it was exactly the same size as the one I extracted.
Unfortunately, trying to stuff the new icon back into the DLL with MicroAngelo doesn't work, so you need a binary editor, such as WinHex. In WinHex, you will need to find the offset of the icon file within the DLL, and then do a binary paste of your new icon into the DLL. Save it and make sure that file stays the same size as it was (245,248 bytes).
Then, using a task manager, shut down tmail.exe on your 8525 and connect via ActiveSync (you need to do this because tmail keeps that DLL open), and simply copy your new DLL over the existing one. BE SURE TO KEEP A BACKUP COPY OF THE ORIGINAL IN CASE YOU SCREW UP!
Power cycle the 8525 and send yourself an email, and enjoy your new icon.
Check out the screen shot. I hated that my work email showed me a Cingular icon. I wanted it to show my corporate logo. The blue one you see here is it.
Have fun!
-pvs
PS: you really should have posted this in the general Hermes forum, since it's got nada to do with WM6.
Thanks for that info, I'm gonna start in on the dll surgery in a bit!
I guess it could have gone into that other forum, but I assumed the ugly icon only had to do with the dark WM6 themes. I didn't try xpressfail when I was using WM5. My bad!
Cool! Good luck. The hard part was finding the offset of the icon inside the DLL, but I opened the extracted icon alongside the DLL in WinHex, and was able to determine the location by doing a binary search for a few bytes that I copied from the beginning icon file. As long as you ensure that the new icon file is the same exact size, there's no need to find the icon's endpoint in the DLL, just select the entire new icon file in WinHex and sock it into place at the start offset.
But since we're here in the WM6 forum, let's make this a WM6 thread ... Since I upgraded (and it's occured in BOTH WM6 ROMS I've used) whenever I manually try to retrieve email in my xpressfail account, I get a warning about roaming charges blahblahblah. Are you experiencing this minor annoyance as well?
If not ... which WM6 ROM did you flash? And what is your location? (I'm in the NY/NJ Metro Area).
It's only a minor inconvenience, but I'd like to get rid of it if possible.
-pvs
I am at the point of searching through the hex file now, so far so good.
I also get that bogus roaming message if I try to manually send/receive. Most of time I just let Xpressmail do it's simulated push to my phone so I don't see that message. I searched around a bit but couldn't find any options to turn off that message. Possibly a bug in Xpressmail and WM6?

OK, at least I know this is a consistent thing. I agree that it's probably an incompatibility between expressfail and WM6. FWIW, Seven is working on a new beta now. ( http://community.seven.com/forum/main.php ) I've thought about joining in with the testing, but as this is my corporate email, I don't think it's a wise idea. {Yeah, OK for me to flash experimental ROMs and do beta testing with phoneAlarm, but I shy away from this ... makes no sense, I guess}. I might change my mind and give it a shot, just to make sure this "Roaming" issue is covered. Maybe also recommend that they devise an easier way for people like us to plug in different icons.
Anyway, gotta get back to a budget now.
Later,

So far I have been unsuccessful at the hex edit part Had to give up for the rest of the work day but hope to play some more with it this eveing.

If you can't get it to work, PM me, and we could arrange for you to email me the icon file you would like to use. I'll do the hexedit and email you the finished .DLL.
BTW, I got in touch with SEVEN today, and they gave me a fix for the Roaming Message issue. Very very nice service and a quick reply, too. I posted the fix here in the WM6 forum, since this seems to be an issue with all the WM6 ROMs.

Yeah I saw that post earlier on this evening and added that reg entry. Worked perfectly.

looks pretty friggin good to me man. Is there a .cab file you can put together for this?
Putting the final touches on it as we speak
OrganicM said:
I was able to get the TestUIPlugin to work and update in realtime. I used mortscript to get values from "weather watcher mobile", which is free. Currently, you run the script, it loads weather watcher, copies over the forecast data, updates the registry entries for testuiplugin, updates the plugin, and closes weather watcher in the background. It's not very elegant right now, because it uses mortscript. Maybe someone can write a standalone exe based on my work.
Here's what it looks like right now. Any ideas to improve the layout ?

I was wondering the same thing as Pudge. It may not look exactly like you've mapped it out in your head...but it looks pretty darn good to me. A .cab would be great, Organic.

Haha! fesitvely flump? I thought i was the only one who used that term!
Hahaha Actually it WILL, because I wrote this for myself. Buuuuuut, I will make an original version as well
Hey OrganicM, It looks sick but if i could suggest something, then it would be the title, instead of making the "temperature" the title, why not make it My Weather or something along those lines and underneath it - you could make a line for the temperature, upto u - otherwise it looks amazing - Keep up the good work and post a .cab when ur done
Good Luck !
I know, that's what I wanted to do initially, but this damn TestUIPlugin, will NOT let me do two lines of text!! Only thing I could do, is append the current temperature at the end of the forecast blurb... But it wouldn't really make it stand out.

About implementing it to any panels, slim or not...
Hi OrganicM!
Nice job you done with this app.
I took a look at your cab _setup.xml and I was wondering what needs to be changed to the Chome_320x240.cpr for the app to work, since I prefer my chubby panels and its icons and overall layout (just a matter of taste, you know).
Perhaps you could post a little step by step guide for the ones like me who want to implement it by hand, with the needed files in a single compressed file (zip, rar, your choice really, I've already got them from the cab ).
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

If I'm not mistaken, I thought he intended to post the .cab for the "chubby panels" soon anyway. I am on the same page with you, Cassiano. I like my plump panels, but I'd like to install Organic's .cab too. I don't necessarily wanna change anything in my homescreen layout--aside from including the new weather panel.
Guys... read the first post.... There might be something there for ya.

Disregard my previous posts! I see you've laid everything out in the 1st post. Thanks man.
Is anyone else have trouble updating the city? I'm trying to get Seattle on here, but it won't find it by name, and if using the zip is keeps showing sunny Las Vagas... That sucks, mainly 'cause it nice there and not here... Thanks.
This thing is awesome. Just what I needed. However, is there a way to remove the photo and media pannel? I tried to edit the XML file but it doesn't change. Any ideas?
Thanks..
Just set the plugins as "disabled" right in the registry.
Updated first post again, this time I added a "last updated" time in the top right corner. This gets updated everytime the weather script runs, so you have an idea how recent the info is.
Alright...for some reason it won't allow my city to be displayed when setting up Weather Watcher. It'll take me to a blank IE screen. I made the change to my city in 'Options', like instructed. Then tried to open 'Update Weather'. It would take me back to the blank IE screen. On the homescreen--the weather sliding panel is blank and just has a sun in it. Is there something I'm not doing?

Are you sure you're spelling it correctly ? Mine finds it right away.
so, I havent found this yet, so Im posting this asking for some help. Im trying to get showaco's opera panel for bookmarks to work with the new opera mobile 10 beta 3, for smartphones. finally got the panel to show after editing the default.plg for my screen res and manually putting it into my cpr. Editted the registry to read what I wanted it to on the default panel. Unfortunately I know little to nothing about writing mortscripts. Someone posted where the bookmarks are kept in opera 10 so I changed that in the mort and where my opera 10 exe. is in it. Seems my knowledge of mortscripts are nill, Im going to assume the mort is suppose to change the first page to the first bookmark and add a page for each bookmark. Unfortunately, I get the panel up and the registry editted, I run my editted mort and it just deletes the the page in the registry so I lose the panel as well.
so does anyone wanna help with this?
edit:
so, thinking again. why stop with opera 10? lets see if we can do this with opera mini. skyfire as well.
The bookmark files are no longer clear text with Opera 10
You would need to be able to read the new format of the bookmark files
so, i guess im going to need a lil more help than just someone who can write a mort huh? lol
I am trying to tackle this..
I would be happy with just using \program files\opera mobile 10\profile\datastorage\6\dials.dat to get the favorites. the problem is since there are non ascii characters in the file I have been unable to read the file into a variable for further manipulation.
Anyone know how to either replace all non ascii characters with spaces using mortscript or any other WM utility???
THANKS!
awesome
good to know someone else is on this as well. i have little to no experience with mort or programming so, its left me limited to only finding the "miracle" answer. after raidzero's post though, it did narrow my search. Ive come across a couple of sites that might help someone with more knowledge in writing something. a couple have an "expression" thats said to filter out non ascii characters. if someone is serious about this let me know and ill post the links. i do most of my searching and posting on my phone so, until we actually get something for our bookmarks that would be a fun task lol

Thanks for the info, the excel one seems like it might work, but doubtful. The rest are all for different languages, if I knew any C I would do it in that and make my whole panel just use native code instead of mortscript..
but I don't. so the search is still on. I know there is someone here that could make a program that just took a file and removed the non printable characters from it!
then it could be called int he mortscript and life could go on. I will check with JMZ, he knows how to do stuff like that I think.
ok, sounds good
alright. sounds like a plan. so if not "C" is there anything else you are familiar with other than mortscript? thatll help narrow my search

I do not know C, well, I can do maybe hello world. but that's about it. For something as simple as a string manipulation it can't be that hard, but you never know.
Maybe I might just download the bloodshed dev C++ IDE (free) and try my hand at it ....
edit: so bloodshed is gone
visual studio I guess, maybe my company has a license for it.
let me know
if not, mine might. also, i might be able to find one cheap. or i might even have a copy. my old man always makes me a copy of everything he buys and downloads so, I got a couple towers of cd's of software i havent even cracked open lol
I just got my TP2 two days ago and I love it!
I need to change the weather to find my city but unfortunately none of the hacks on here work for me.
I looked in the windows folder to find certain file but it wasn't there.
Maybe it has to do with me being on the official HTC 6.5 update??
I would prefer to edit a file and not install another application.
Any help is appreciated.

if u got windows mobile 6.5 with TF3D, u should just be able to click on the weather tab. press menu. and a slew of options appear. one of them being to add a new location or city. i think u can have like 7 or 8 different cities set up.
im not sure where ur from but i didnt need any hack to pull up my city...
My city wasn't listed
oh i see, u need some kind of wrk around. someone should chime in soon enough on that matter. hol on...i juss thought of somethin....u need a way to go into the system registry or that widget registry.....find out how the determine the different cites used(like by zipcodes or some ([email protected]). then once u do, put in ur cities info, in that place.........................i thinkkkkkkk...lmfao

If that idea doesn't work, search for a cab. There are some out there that will add different cities to your list, I used them on previous ROM's to try to fix a My Location issue I had. It didn't work for my issue with My Location,but I can definitely say that it opened up different cities that were not previously available.
Hope THAT helps.
I got it working. I used an app from the forums. It added my city.

You should tell everyone what you used, to assist others.
Also, you said in your OP that you tried some of the "hacks", and they didn't work. You should have said what those were, it would have helped us help you. Post was too vague, so I didn't bother responding.
I don't know what he used, but I use the Conflipper weather database v5. Downside is that it takes FOREVER for it to parse the huge database to find a city as you type the name.
