hi falks ,
i have tried the 3 available sources of aku 3.2 rom on this beloved forum, from the 3 UNI gladiators ; the same problem occuring in each rom; icons fail to be retreived from apps on the sdcard, forum gurus had a vision that this is becoz the sdcard is not loaded on startup..... also , it is impossible to use an sdcard app on the startup folder, probably for the same reason, is there any way to work around this , or perhaps set a delay on startup apps untill they r able to be read from the sdcard ??????
hale to the uni genius guys, they help to make our life easier
Did you see this in my ROM?
And what are you trying to run from your SD card?
indeed
yes indeed , i m using your beautiful rom currently, 94 ...
i tried to put mobitools on the startup running from the sdcard , however , system couldnt find it on startup . yet after system complete the startup process ( 60 sec may be) , i can run mobitools manually. ( this is why i was thinking of setting a delay before running startup apps .
any , the MOST annoying bug i incountered in the THREE roms (lt.comdr, indra, jwr) was that ALL today plugin lounchers applications FAILED to retreive icons from any app installed on the sdcard, instead , it shows the ugly generic windows standard exe icons (and sometimes even a folder icon) .
i used most of the available lounchers including : spb plus 3.4 , handy shortcut, clouncher, shortcut manager , and even the START menu itself, shows the same problem.
- browsing the sdcard using explorer does not correct the problem.
- i m using sandisk ultra II sdcard (2gb) with a FAT32 system.
For your kind care ,
Let me look into it. I will try a few setting changes and such to see what I can figure out, if anything at all....
I will keep you posted.
-Jwrightmcps
P.S. I released a newer version of my ROM 1.90.96 WWE, I suggest you upgrade if possible (It contains a few corrections and patches)
i already downloaded it , can u tell us what are the changes?
will flash it now

Hi, I have a similar with the same version, it seems that the SDCARD is loaded with lots of delay. For my part, i had modified the registry to point email folders to SDCARD, with work well. When i soft reset, a directory Storage Card is created under root and the SDCARD is mounted as Storage Card2. As workaround, I deleted the fake Storage Card directory and unplug and replug the SDCard and the mount was then ok. But problems reappear after soft reset.
Anybody can help here?

I think I remember someone else have this problem before, but I could not remember how they solved it. Did you reformat your SD card using your computer?

I am using AKU 3.2 version .94 and spb pocket plus 3.1.2 ( latest version ), and I have more than 15 programs installed on my 4Gb SD card. All of them have an icon in SPB, and they never disappear. Could it be that you SD is slower ? Mine is a 150x Transcend card.
I have tested the Start menu behaviour also. I placed two SD-based program links in the start menu, and made a soft reset to see if the icons will still be there : NO, they disappear. So there I see the same problem unfortunately...

I installed AKU 3.2 1.90.96 on my qtek9000, from programs on sd-card, (like sprite backup, mobipocket reader, magic ss, tcpmp, opera, PromilleCheck, StDict, Skype) created icons with TC under Start Menu/Programs and everyone works fine, after more soft resets also. It's a noname sd-card, 155X.
In Windows\Start Menu\Programs are *.lnk files, like this: xnpocket.exe lnk. Content: 56#"\Storage Card\Program Files\XnView Pocket\xnpocket.exe"
well, i installed spb plus 3.1.2 , and i reformated the sdcard into fat16 using pocket mechanic , without a fat backup , BUT NOTHING CHANGED, still the same problem

Yes you can, you'll have to move the \program files\Navigator folder to storage card, then, use any good registry editor to search for the string 'tomtom' and correct all the paths beneath, including the path for the dedicated button.
One last reminder, my advice is to leave this one in its original location: tomtom\tttoday.dll
I swaped it on mine and its working ok... so far

sorry to drag up an old post, does this work with tomtom 6?
going to try it later on.
Thanks
Ben
Yes, just copy everything to the memory card and remake your short-cuts for the start menu.
thanks will give this a try and post back if i have any problems.
all moved over fine, but found that my today screen plugin for tom tom is missing, the tttoday.dll is still in \tomtom but cant find it in the today items options.
Is there somewhere in the registry that looks for today plugins so i can re-register it?
thanks
Ben
am i being dim
Surely the easiest way is to uninstall and reinstall - or is that too simple?
I always keep my tomtom install cab files on my memory stick - just in case i'm hit with a hard reset situation
that is an option, just wanted to see if i could get it back without that as I just spent ages installing poi's and confiuring all my settings.
can live without it for now until my next hard reset heh
Thanks anyway.
i think i found the problem,
can someone with tomtom 6 please post whats in their key here..
if indeed there is a "tom tom" item listed
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Today\Items
Thanks
Today I have installed 3 WM6 Roms:
- Vijay's
- Infidel's
- Midget's
All 3 are good, whith differences in apps and as far as I remember Infidel's has MMS installed (where can I find the CAB?).
Once major concern that I have is that the Extended ROM is not hidden anymore and therefore all my attachment in the emails go to 'Storage' rather than to the SD card (='Storage Card'). All 3 ROMs have this issue and with attachments of about 10MB each (all PPTs). I will run into a major issue real quick... (say after 1 email...?)
Having access to the 10MB Extended Storage is a nice to have, but how can I save my attachments on the storage card? Is there a registry tweak?
All help highly appreciated.
Having said this... The ROMs are all great. Thanks for all the hard work and sharing these dewdrops of technology with us...!
-Ireneus
ill try and find a solutions sood, btw mine has mms
Sorry Mate
Midget,
Sorry about that... I have been installing too many ROMS today..
Do you have the CAB for MMS?
Thanks,
Ireneus
no, it was integrated already, ill try and stick it in a cab when i get time
I didnt see a phone lockup issue in WM5 AKU 3.5... Also email synchonising tries to save the attachment by default into ext rom eh? I never had any such problem with Infidels ROM. Try again.
Also this phone lockup issue is only in Crossbow. Just set a password and let it ask you after a lot of hours.
btw if you decide to throw away your device, just as a second thought send it to me. XD
I test all the previous trick and it did not work
I think every kind of memory is shown as a storage so you will be able to encrypt it
Outlook is the only application in which you can not select where to store files.
If you change the path in the registry , WM6 will create another storage called "STORAGE CARD2" pointing on extended rom
Guys,the way for to hide the visibility of "Storage" (ExtROM on WM5)directory..???

Really dude, stop pretending, I know your a fool, you know your a fool, we all know your a fool. the sooner you stop posting the better.
just FYI nuclear <=> Infidel.
what is the reg tweek for 3.5 . as every time i reset windows name the memory card (storagecard 2. )
here is how to move your mails and attachments around:
You can free up even more memory on your phone by moving all of your downloaded mail and attachments to your Storage Card.
Step 1.
Using the file manager in activesync, create the following folders on your Storage Card.
\MAPI
\MAPI\ATTACHMENTS
(You can actually name them whatever you want, "Inbox" for example.)
Step 2. Now browse to \Windows\Messaging (SmartPhone) or \Windows\MAPI (PocketPC)
If you want to save all of your existing mail, move everything in this directory to the new ones on your Storage Card.
Step 3. Now fire up your registry editor and navigate to the following.
[ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MAPI ]
Then create the following keys.
"AttachPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\MAPI\Attachments
"PropertyPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\MAPI
Step 4. Reboot your phone and then goto your inbox. If you can see all of your mail then mission accomplished. Double check your attachments as well.
found on:
http://www.tleone.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=61&Itemid=59
I do a test with
"AttachPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\MAPI\Attachments
"PropertyPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\MAPI
and with : (syntax on msdn)
"AttachPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\\MAPI\\Attachments
"PropertyPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\\MAPI
did not work
Tried but failed...
I tried this as well, but no success... anyone got this to work?
I created 2 String Values in my Registry directly under MAPI... I assume that is what is meant by the instructions?
Thanks,
-Ireneus

If you use the Today Messaging Plugin, I don't think these hacks work, see explanation at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/in...can_store_your_activesyn&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
Cheers,
Steve.
I think that is a tweak in SKtools that you can move the inbox to any storage card.
I applied the tweak and see the folder Inbox.xxx inside the "storage card", although inside the Mail's Storage setting (option) you may still see it pointing to "storage". [Note the difference between "storage" (created after unhiding the ext rom) and "storage card".]
Regarding the naming of "storage card2", I got rid of it by turning off the phone, take out the card, restart, reinsert the card => the naming is back to "storage card". [Note: this is not a unique issue of WM6!]
Attachements forever stick on Storage

Hi,
You little misunderstood me in the other thread.
So I decided to attach this little program. Try yourself.
Install:
-------
- unzip pr.zip
- copy pr.exe to Universal's \Windows\StartUp directory
- tap on pr.exe. You should see a Ready message in a messagebox
- Enable Messaging today plugin in Start/Settings/Today/Items tab
Now send yourself a message with an attachment.
First try with small attachments. ( 50 - 100 KB ), than you can try bigger ones.
Your attachments should be in :
\Storage Card\Inbox.mst29833559.4051713536\Mail Attachments
Check file sizes.
Warning! You mustn't go to Messaging app's tools/Options/Storage tab.
If you press OK in this tab your attachments will be again on Extended ROM.
Now try soft reset. And again send yourself a test message with attachment.
Report your experiences here.
Storage issues
The reason many of the WM6 ROM shows the extened ROM is that there is a broken module in them! I have created a new WM6 for JasJar's and corrected this issue, mine has the Extended ROM hidden as it should be, and can be unlocked via software. You can use my version it can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1134781#post1134781
It will resolve your mail issue...

That's OK, but Laurentius26 is using Helmi 1.1.
Extended ROM is also hidden by default in this version.
I think Laurentius26 would like to see a solution to store attachements on Storage Card while Extended ROM is visible, after unhiding.
That was the reason why I attached that small program above.
Hmm, I'll try your version
@szilamer
Hi,
Thank you.
Sorry about previous post, last post I was teasing you a bit
Anyway I tried your little tool, and it worked before softreset,
but.... after softreset it's a complete mess.
Now I have three maps:
Extended_Rom, Storage Card (e-mail att. are there now), and Storage Card2. So I can't reach my programs installed on storage card anymore because it's changed to Storage Card2.
If I take the Storage Card out I see that the Storage Card map is still there in main memory, in this map I see the IE Cache (think that's the problem because I moved it to Storage Card with SKTools) and the email attachements. Tried to delete the map but this doesn't work because the cache is there, so I put the device in flight modus, removed your app from Windows\Startup and did a softreset.
Now I can delete the map!
Than I put the Storage Card back in and softreset again.
Everything back to normal pffff...., I'm happy again
Can you tell me what this app is doing and where to look for in the registry? It's intresting it worked before softreset!
btw. I like Jwrightmcps work to so I'm going to flash his new WM6, but it would be great if I could fix the Attachements story first, than I can make a complete backup with SPB before I flash, because there is a lot of work in this Rom already and I would like to keep it for reserve!
Cheers and thanks again,
Leo

Hi again,
Did forget something I see! Before I started this procedure I forgot to disable the today plugin!
So I have to do two things:
Disable today messaging,
Disable Messaging apps\tools\Storage tab.
Ok, going to give it another try, I know now how to disable it wright

Hello everybody, i would like to know how i can format my extended rom ?
Thnaks all,
no ideas ???
install resco file explorer then use any application to show extended rom,then open file explorer Tap and hold your styles on extended rom then select format .
"do it in your oun resk"..
you do know that extented rom is where the cab files which are auto installed after a hardreset are located and you should gain nothing from formatting it that you dont get from just deleting the files manualy
other then they will not auto install after a hardreset
which may result in features like camera and gps and 3g video calling may not work any more
i can't because when i try to deleteit say me" you cant delete, check if file are not protected..."
you asked for format ,, deleting is something different,i dont know how to do it ..
ok, i just want to go back at the original configuration, how can i do ?

Hi all, i hope someone can help me.
Everytime I soft-reset a annoying shortcut named "EasyMenu" comes back in my menu, even when I delete it.
So I made a script that will delete the shortcut.
That worked with:
Delete( "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\EasyMenu.lnk" )
Only when I place the script in the StartUp folder it wont work, I think because the script will run earlier than that the icon will be made.
So I was hoping that I can change the script so it will be executed after for example 30 seconds.
I hope someone can tell me how to do this, I tried some things in from the commands.txt but no luck, I am not verry good with programmer.
Thanks in advance!

sleep(5000) - this will sleep the script for 5 seconds (5000ms) (you can replace the number with the required delay). HOWEVER, this is overkill. You'd be better trying to figure what is creating the easymenu.lnk file in the first place.
Ok, so the EasyMenu.lnk is a little program from my provider, it gives me fast acces to my services and rintones, picutres, games and my chat and fun things for my sms/mms, pretty usless.
I searched my register for "Easy" and here are the results:
Reg1:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\STK]
"BackToSetupMenu"=dword:00000001
"Disable_IdleModeText"=dword:00000001
"Enable_IdleModeStatusIcon"=dword:00000000
"Link"="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\EasyMenu.lnk"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\STK\SetupMenu]
Reg2:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\EasyMenu.lnk]
"Group"=dword:00000000
"Rank"=dword:ffffff9b
I hope someone can tell me what to change to stop the making of the shortcut.
Thanks in Advance
OK, this is related to the SIM Toolkit (which is actually an app on your SIM card put there by your service provider/carrier/operator).
This is an unusual case of application icon, since it's not a normally installed app. Off the top of my head I don't know any perfect way to disable SIM Toolkit, but we may be able to delete the cause, or have it create the link elsewhere on your filesystem (so that it doesn't appear in your start menu).
I can't say for certain if this can easily be removed, but there's a couple of things we can try...
Try modifying the following entry in your Registry (just to prove this entry is creating the link), then reboot -
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\STK]
"Link"="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ThisIsATest.lnk"
IF we discover a new link in your start menu, then great.... we've found the cause (and the simple fix would be to either remove this reg entry, OR change the link to something like "\Temp\deleteme.tmp"
Let me know how you get on with that!
Hey TheBrilliantMistake
Sorry that didnt do the trick, its still there under the name EasyMenu.lnk
Only why is it bad to use the script?
What do you mean with overkill?

Well, it's not too bad to use the script, it's just that the ideal solution would be to stop the problem occurring in the first place...
Try the script for the moment and see how that works (might have to play around with the timing to make sure it deletes it every time)
Second try...
Try renaming the stk_service.dll file to oldstk_service.dll (you might need to use an advanced file manager like Resco File Explorer, or Total Commander to do this).
Then delete the easymenu.lnk and reboot.
OR
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\stk_service dll=stk_service.dll <---- make this key empty instead of pointing to STK Service dll.
