hello. i was just wondering if you need a pc in order to do all this? i have a mac... any help is appreciated. this will be my first time customizing a wm phone. just waiting for the att tilt 2 to be available
You wouldn't need a PC running Windows to flash ROMS since you can flash via the SD card. And you can always install cabs by transferring them over via disk drive mode.
But most of the tools I found here for customizing manila images and stuff are Windows apps. Perhaps you should look into Windows emulators.

Hi, i have searched the forum for an answer but i had no luck, plenty of threads on how to map a drive of a PC onto your Universal but not the other way round, i have a folder on my SD card that has all my simple system tools for PC in it and i would like to be able to go to a WiFi network and be able to access the folder from any PC regardless of activesync.
I hope i didn't make my request too confusing but im sure you will know what i mean because it would be very usful
Thank you so much for your time on replying in advance
The best software for you is WM5torage.
By Ingvarr:This program will export the flash memory card as usual USB Mass Storage device (ordinary "usb disk") - effectively turning smartphone into flash reader. It works with many (not all) Smartphones and PDAs on the market that use WM5 as OS.
Latest version is v1.53 - it's free , fully working Mass Storage Software working with WM5.0 :
You can find previous version here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45411 or new after some changes here:
Thats Brilliant, thank you so much for your reply, but i don't think i didn't explane it right, i already have a program for doing the USB mass storge,its called 'Card Export 2', its brilliant and so fast, but thats not what im looking for because you still have to physicly plug your phone in to a PC, i want to be able to 'SHARE' a folder on my phone, i.e Mydevice\my document\STUFF, just like you do on a PC, and then be able to run/edit/copy/paste stuff in that folder from another PC using WiFi, so in other when i go into work and connect my phone to the network using WiFi i want to be able to go to any desktop and access my files on my phone without wires, i.e in explorer type-
\\myphone\stuff
('myphone' being the name of my device & 'stuff' being the shared folder on my phone)
have i made it any clearer?
please let me know if im not making myself clear
hi jab1a,
in the past i was also dreamin about a solution you have described. in the meantime i have learned by other posts that this is not possible as providing drives or folders as a network ressource is not implemented in windows mobile. so no way of getting an easy solution for that. but in other cases wm5torage works very well for me until somebody has worked out a way for wireless sharing of folders.
best regards

Hi,
I use a piece of software called V m Network Browser. lets you copy and paste files and play files over the wifi network.
Great app
its shareware but small price for a good piece of software.
hope this helps
hi nightspider,
thanks for your input. just one question left: is this software running on your desktop/server pc and it allows to play around with files on your mobile device or do you run the software on your mobile device and play around with files on your desktop/server pc?
greetings
peter
It was small misunderstanding from me :wink: . So maybe ( not tested on WiFi) idea of the ftp server on PDA :?: ?
You cand find ShareIt FTP( no shure if working on WM5.0 :?: ) http://www.noisette-software.com/products/pocketpc/ShareIt/
Hi peter_altherr
Yes it runs on the Pocket pc nothing needed on the desktop pc apart from the shared folders
So... I was wondering... I wanted to install some apps onto my WM device... I don't have a PC.. and I only have the installer exes to be run on the computer. Does anyone know how I can install these onto my WM phone? If it helps any, I'm using an HTC TyTN II. I have Missing Sync on my Mac OS X Leopard computer. I know you can install .CAB based files, but can you install it from EXEs? Cos I wanted to install this program which I lost after flashing the ROM. Thx.
NB: I don't use BootCamp, and I would prefer it if I could do this without using BootCamp
Hi! I figured out how to file transfer to the phone through ubuntu .BUt, Is there anyway to flash the t-dash with ubuntu? I'm just wondering. Is there a linux version of ActiveSync? I tried searching google and I had no luck.

Hey. How did you manage to do that? got an HTC tytn and been struggling long. I got ubuntu 9
when you say ubuntu 9, i assume you mean 9.04?
what i believe you want to use is a program called wm5torage i believe. it has just come with all the roms i have been using so i'm not sure where to find it. it sets up your phone as a flash drive with your sd card.
as far as active sync, there is a project that would provide some of the activesync functionality. but it doesn't allow for flashing
as far as i know you still have to use windoze for that.
Hi all,
i benefit from this post to report the excellent Syncmate !
It work very fine on mac (i use hackintosh).
I have tested that it works perfectly with the 3VO ROM, surely even faster than activesync on windows! Icredible!!
http://mac.eltima.com/sync-mac.html
syncmate for free can syncronize only i-calc and contact and ,obviously, it can mount excalibur as external disc,. Sync mate pro have full options!
CIao!
I have tried to find some things on how to, tutorials and so on but i cant find anything that has given me success, some of my must have apps are installed from the computer, and id want to see if i can just make them into a cab instead and just have them on the memory card for comfort and when flashing on the go from sd it is annoying not being able to have the "must have" app.
any help would be deeply appreciated and i would be most grateful.
if this is done in ten sec to a minute i added one of the desktop installers if some one would be so very kind to help me
http://www.e-sword.net/pocketpc/files/ppc2005setup301.exe
Thank you very much.
ps: another noob question, the program named ppc2005setup301 it runs in vga, and since most rom are qvga if i understand it right the program buttons are shrinked? it is usable but you got to be exakt with the stylys to hit them, kinda hard on the bus or subway if anyone could help me with that one id kiss ya!
Peace and a lot of love to you all!
Can you not just extract the cab using win rar?
Easiest way is to run the installer with your phone disconnected. Then go into the microsoft active sync folder in program files and you should be able to find the cab in a folder in there. I've done this several times to set up a back up folder on my sd card (just in case)
I'm having a problem installing cabs on my TP2. for some reason, when I click on them, they launch Opera. I've been downloading them onto my PC then transferring them onto my storage card.
I have no mods done to my phone. I'm trying to dualboot Android.
Any ideas?
