If you look at the attached word document when Tomtom launches it sets the following registry keys
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\ACTimeout to &FFFFFFFF and
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\BatteryTimeout to &FFFFFFFF
when on my XDA2 they should be 300 and 600 respectively. When Tomtom exits these values are restored.
I have written a program that launches Tomtom, then after 7 seconds restores these registry values to their original values and viola the backlight is restored without the need for the user to have to adjust it manually.
Here is the code and I shall next day upload a cab file with more details and which can be installed. It is configurable and places a shortcut in your start menu.
Enjoy.
Great Job Sjubb

Microsoft Compact Framework 2.0 (Beta2) redistrubatable
Compack Framework Version 2.0 is no longer needed
They should work straight away now as I have produced a version that works with Compact Framework Version 1.0 (and this is installed by default on most PDAs)

Microsoft Compact Framework 2.0 (Beta2) redistrubatable
The problem I seem to have is that Microsoft Compact Framework 2.0 (Beta2) redistrubatable will not install correctly. I've tried the one sjubb uploaded I've downloaded it from microsoft. What happens is everything seems to install ok (with both versions) but then when my XDA2 resets itself nothing! No program! and in add remove programs the tick box indicates that it's not been installed. Many thanks to sjubb for his help and Buzz for the OS.

Right guys,
A lot simpler now. No need for Microsoft Compact Framework 2.0, they should run straight away now (as most PDAs have version 1 installed) as I have made it compatible with version 1.0
Just download the attached files and follow the instructions in the word document.

OpenNETCF.zip
you will need to extract it in order to put on your device.
Just one slight hiccup...
Hi SJubb, Many thanks for your effort. Yet another masterpiece in the making!!
I followed your instructions (the latest one without the Framework 2) and.
It starts tomtom fine, but the light is still disabled. I am running Magneto (clearly..).
Many thanks for your effort. Really look forward to getting it working.
Works!!!
Sorry SJubb, I take it back. Restarted, repeated install, works like a charm!! Many thanks for such a great app, now all we need is Widcomm for Windows Mobile 5 and we're set!!
You, along with the rest of the gurus are what makes owning an XDAII such a pleasure. I only wish I had the skill to contribute to this endevour.
info
monster what version of windows 2005 are you on?
I have someone on 1.50f experiencing problems. I myself could not get it to work properly on that version.

I have installed this, and it works. The only problem is, that everytime i run the program a dialogbox turns up saying: The maximum delay interval in order to turn the backlight on is 20 seconds. This is avoid hanging your xda2. It will be set to 7.5 seconds.
Is there a way to avoid this dialog box?
Apart from this it works perfect. Thank you for all your work.
regards
John
You need to adjust the interval as part of the shortcut. If you see the user guide it gives details.
If you don't want to do that go into file explorer, go to \windows\start menu\programs and delete the shortcut.
Then go back to the original patch file, rerun it and it will recreate the shortcut for you with a default of 7.5 seconds.
Please test and advise.
cheers
steve jubb
forgot!
Forogot to mention make sure the number you use for the interval is less than 20.
Hi
I have tried this several times now. but the dialog box still appears.
I need to tell you, taht when i press ok to the dialog box tomtom starts and backlight is turned on.
I just wantted to get rid of the dialog box.
my device is a spv M1000
and I use this rom:
WM2k5_1.50h_XDA2_HIMALAYA
I have opend the shortcut in notepad and it looks ok according to the install guide.

v2.0 of my developer ROM is now available. Core/XIP is the official WM6 core. Bluetooth, Power Management, Communications Management and GDI are also from the official ROM. Most of the built in apps have been refreshed. Finally, for you Tom-Tom/VPN addicts, the DUN bluetooth profile is now available in addition to Internet Sharing!
Because my imgfs is completely custom, this ROM will report itself as follows:
CE OS 5.2.1437(Build 17913.0.3.0)
v2.1 of this ROM includes:
Both DUN and Internet Sharing bluetooth profiles are available!
SDHC support: tested with 4GB cards
GLYPHCACHE limt re-optimized at 32,768
Mobile Office 2K7 includes OneNote 2K7
My ATI Imageon patch cooked in
The New Block style CommManager GUI is enabled.
The latest build of HTC X-Button v1.51 cooked into the base ROM.
The Cyberon voice dialer which can save/restore voice tags is cooked in.
Windows Live build 1400 (more stable than what is in the current Official ROM) is cooked into the base ROM
4MB Paging File
Big Storage
A2DP optimized for highest Fidelity based on hardcore's research.
additional apps: GSFinder+, DotFred's Taskmgr, PHM Regedit, SIPChange, Austinboy's Fieldtest, Adobe Reader LE, Audio Manager, Streaming Player
Windows Update and QOS removed
VoIP optimizatons: dialplan normalized for US calling (default areacode is 262 on 7 digit calls), connect over 3G as well as WiFi enabled
Live Search today plugin is set to use Google and works just fine when spaces are part of the search term
can toggle the phone skin between Video and Non-video modes using lsvw's TweakUI program
WM6 tap sounds are enabled
This ROM will play 3G streams or local mp3s over A2DP in powersave mode to Coreplayer or Audio Manager. Unfortunately, WMP can't do this. This is because I forgot to refresh WMP
The Official bluetooth Handsfree Profile has been cooked into this ROM. This provides even better Car Kit compatiblity.
This ROM is free for you to personalize. I'm not in this for the donations (although they're always appreciated ), rather my primary focus is to give you a better Hermes. So, use this base ROM to learn the ROM kitchens then go make your own ExtROM for this to customize Today Screen etc. Simply add a file called preconfig.txt to /windows to enable autoconfig (you'll need to dump a production ROM to unravel the syntax btw) to run your extrom at cold-reset startup. Because Preconfig.txt has been removed, the base rom has no autoconfig and will go directly to the today screen.
Free storage memory remains at about 49MB and free program memory is 29MB. Displayed Today screen items have been reduced and re-ordered in this manner (note: the additional plugins are still present, just unchecked in Today settings):
Date
Live Search
Internet Calling
Owner Info
Email messages
Appointments
The installer will also upgrade your splash screens to the Gold HTC Innovation theme. Your Radio, IPL and SPL will remain unchanged. However, for best results I recommend running a radio that's at least 1.40. AT&T subscribers in the US should upgrade to the v1.48.00.00 radio for vastly improved performance.
I'm using OliPro's latest RUU installer in this version and recommend installing using the SSPL option. Vista users: be sure to check out this guide for how to make SSPL installers work on your version of Windows. Or, jcespi2005 reports that with the latest WMDC (v6.1), you can upgrade through CustomRUU normally like in XP. WMDC 6.1 itself can be found here.
Download v2.1 now from RapidShare.

"Bling" in this ROM
Sorry, but there are no fancy today themes, catchy colors or spectacular splashes included in this base ROM. All you get is performance and reliability. Bling is a personal expression, so you're free to add your own.
So, what's on your today screen? Post screenshots! Upload themes & post links and I'll put them below.
CUSTEL's black theme (thanks CUSTEL) http://www.tri-syndicate.com/CUSTEL.tsk.zip (just change the name to CUSTEL.tsk after downloading, its not a zip file). I'm actually running this one now because the block style taskmanager looks better with black menu/taskbars.
v2.0 Release Notes (check back here periodically for updates)
X-Button requires the latest versions of SPB Weather/SPb Time to correct the "Black Font" issue. The latest version of SPB Weather is v1.7.0 Build 767 and the latest version of SPB Time is v2.1.5.
The softkey editor settings are initially out of sync with the actual softkeys. Additionally, you must SR after the first time you use it to get your changes to stick. After that, the program works normally. This is a HTC bug unfortunately in softkeyapplet.cpl
executables stored on your SD card that don't have their own icons will flicker when viewed with the built in Filemanager. GSFinder+ does not experience this quirk. It's very unusual for a Windows Application to not have an icon resource built in so you will probably not even see this one. If you must see what it is I'm talking about, download powerstatus.exe from here, store it on your SC card then view the directory in filemanager.
Be sure to soft-reset after you complete the initial startup. This will activate HSDPA and initialize your WiFi MAC address.
Howto: Speed up CommManager and free up storage memory.
Use PHMRegedit to search for the value "DisableButtonText". Change this value from a 2 to a 0. Reset your Hermes by pressing and holding the power button then answering yes to the dialog that is eventually displayed. The downside is that you disable the "eye candy" interface too.

With your previous release I had some problems car charging; but now I run the Dopod rom and I don't have the problem anymore.
I will try your rom and report back.

You mean when you autodetect on the bootloader selection screen?
If so its just that activesync hasnt detected the phone, disconnect, soft reset it, let it boot to windows mobile and plug the usb lead in again.. then try again.
Just flashed this one and noticed something strange.. My WiFi MAC has changed.. it isnt missing.. but it is weird and may be an indication of a WiFi MAC bug..
Its now 00-00-00-00-AC-9D which doesnt look like a valid MAC address..
Im gonna try it now and see if its still working.
/edit: It Isnt working, networks all come up as unavailable when I try to connect to them but its not the same issue as the DeadWLAN one as I CAN activate wifi.
hmmm.. seems that the solution is to turn on wifi, then soft reset.. when it comes back up your MAC will be right again and all will be fine.
Strange bug/error? Or just my device playing silly games?

Instead of auto, choose the version of hardspl that you have installed (boot to tri-color to find this)
Flashed again.. this time its changed too: 00-00-00-00-99-E1
powering on WLAN and Soft resetting has returned it too it's proper value.. Seems to be a weird issue where the ROM cant read the correct MAC on first boot.

eliasweb for processkiller that kills htc processes that remain into memory also after closing...
udk for help, support and friendship...
all italian cookers that partecipate with suggestions and new ideas...
and all you that with tests, made better this rom!
ok, if you want try it and report for all possible bugs.

here newest version; its same but:
included .NET CF 3.5 and now contacts on HTC Home in today works property....
WM6_1_ITA_essential-Plus-v2.rar
******************************************************************
ADVICE:
in rom is integrated sdconfig tool: if you want install all cabs, at rom flashing, create a folder called sdconfig in your storage card, insert into all cabs, provxml, tsk you want, and at customizing, allc abs will be installed automatically, if you want make all after rom installing, prepare the sdconfig folder with cabs etc.... ang goto "impostazioni->sistema->sdconfig tool", the ppc will reset, and then install all cabs automatically....
WARNING:
don't use "pocketcm keyboard" as external keyboard, it causes fast increase in size into "device.exe"m until you don't have anymore free memory on device....
I hope someone can post to the author about this bug, becouse I liked it but have this bug....
there are others goods keyboard, I can suggest "touchpal" in italian version, is shareware, but works very well, and add new, and unknown for it, words in dictionary!!!
if you want is better first of all (but not necessary!) install DES Hard SPL:
DES_Hard-SPL.TRIN_2.zip
install from windows mobile opened, the ppc stop on boot, repeat the operation, executing again "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" and after ppc remain off, soft reset and wait, now you have also DES HSPL, and then you can flash everithing you want!!
bye!

guys,
i been trying to get help for a predictive text problem i'm having since i installed pdaviet manilla2d v18 on my hermes. it comes with those diamond keypads and predictive text for enu/esp/fra/ger/ita but not for portuguese (??????)
this rom is special cause it managed to get manilla2d working fine on hermes and still letting me do everything else, without compromising much speed. it's a found and i want to keep it until i find something better.
this rom won't let me install this cab HTC EzInput QVGA FullKbd 0409-RC1.cab which contains the same keypads but with various language packs. it will end up with the insufficient system permissions message. i did get it working on the V19 but this rom version is so buggy i had to step back to V18. I have also tried installing separate language packs but they won't work.
this insufficient system permissions problem has been covered before in this forum but has not been resolved as the one who had the problem found a different cab to use.
the only ways i see for fixing this would be get rid of security - which i've already tried using a microsoft program that keeps querying device for ever and ever and won't let me change anything or maybe finding another similar keypad kit with language packs that won't bump into the security level of this rom.
chef has released V20, will try this too in the mean time.
Check if you have .net 3.5 installed on your Hermes. I find it missing a lot. Re-installing might work too...

I do, yes. This is one of the first things I install after a flash, without it I can't run AdvConfig... have considered that too.
Hi out there,
i am totally new to this topic... i recently got an elder PDA, an iPaq hx2790 with WM5, german localization.
After being a liitle convenient in handling the device and the basics of installing additional programs to it, i had the wish to make the userinterface look a little more "nicer" or at least more usable ;-) I googled around and found some good-looking aspirants for my project. I downloaded Quick-Menu 2.8, GSMART, Ifonz2, Pointui... and i tried to install them, one after the other. The result ? Nothing.
Quick-Menu had in most menu-items only squares instead if characters (seems to be a common error in non english devices)
GSMART only added one push-button, when pressing it, nothing happened but the cross to cancel programs / leave screens in the upper right corner disappeared and the device was unbelieveable slow from now on (also reported by other users on http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-gsmart-today-plugin.html)
ifonz2 could be installed, but when i tried to start it manually (because my start screen looked like before) it *****ed around that .Net would be missing, although i installed the version adviced (3.5) in the readme by the author of the prog
Pointui could also be installed, but when i tried to start it manually it also told me that there would be missing a security certificate or some other thing would be missing.
Am i too silly or am i missing some special point ? How should these progs be started after SUCCESSFUL installation ? Do i even have to start them or shouldnt they rather start themselves ?
I am really at a point in time where i am willing to live with this odd WM5 Screen...
any help appreciated ;-).
Also suggestions for WM5-Interface replacements that will do what they propose to do .....
best regards
Freddy
You can still get PointUI to work. It's designed to be installed on pocket pc phones and looks for a couple dll files that are only found in phone edition roms. As far as I know, it looks for sms.dll and phone.dll (it might be different for german roms, I only have experience installing it on english roms). You can find these on the internet somewhere.
As for the others, I really have never tried them. Where did you download the .net installation program (exe or cab)? If you didn't, try downloading the versions directly from Microsoft's site (might take some searching). Another option to try is SPB Mobile Shell (you can get a trial version). Does this help?
thanx for your help.....
Steve,
thank you vey much for your help...
I downloaded sms.dll and phone.dll but GSmarts behaviour did nor change...
The first .net 3.5 was downloaded from softonic with a link provided from the author of iFonz... this one didnt work, it was only the small CAB-File. Then i downloaded the big one it directly from microsoft and it installed it right away on my PDA. iFonz then could be started and configured, but it didnt cope with my screen size and shutdown afer a short while (sigh!)
So i guess i finally will give the iPhone simulating apps a last chance... if this doesnt work, i keep my MW5 as it is ;-(
Thanx alot Steve
Freddy
