Hi everyone.
I'm a BIG fan of Miri's ROMs, and because of this I was always eager to know when he's released a new version. I could obviously keep checking the thread where his ROMs are posted & discussed, but I wanted something to let me know as soon as he posted something, without me having to manually check.
With that in mind, I came up with the "MiriROMWatcher" application. Simply download the file linked below and follow these instructions to install it...
Miri ROM Watcher - download
1. Unzip the rar file and place the exe file somewhere on your harddrive that you're happy with
2. Create a shortcut to the exe file (right-click and drag the file, let go and select "Create shortcut(s) here").
3. Move that shortcut file into your windows startup folder (so it starts every time you run windows.)
4. Double click the shortcut, or exe, to run the program.
Once it's running, it sits in your system tray and checks Miri's page every 10 minutes to see if the page title has changed. If it has, the icon flashes until you double-click it. (Double-clicking opens the thread in your default browser, whether flashing or not.) Since Miri changes the thread title to reflect the version number, it's a pretty simple way of looking for a new version of the ROM.
This is not a flashy, user-friendly program - it's a simple app that does a simple thing. With that in mind, there'll be no config files or front end, and it will probably never be updated in any way. If it doesn't work for you, send me a private message and I'll see if I can help, but I'm not promising anything. It's such a simple app that it should just work anyway.
Hope it helps some people out. If there's enough interest I'll look at doing a mobile version, so you know of updates even when you're out and about!
Thanks all.
Edit:
I've modified the application to ignore page titles "Error Message" and "502 Bad Gateway". Whenever the XDA forum went down (for whatever reason), the app was seeing the error or gateway message as a new page title, and showing an update. It now simply ignores the page if it sees one of those titles. If you need to update the app, simply replace the existing exe file with the new one (make sure that the app is not running when you do this, or it won't work.)
MOD EDIT
As this is an application I've moved it to Themes, Applications and Software forum. I suggest you also post a link in Miri's threads
Cheers Spartan.
cool, he really deserves that attention. Great artist.
great thanks ...
Thanks my friend, I added a link to the first post of the ROM thread.

Cheers Miri!
QuickGPS
Might be a silly question but is Quick GPS included in this ROM? if not is there anywhere i can download it from?
Thanks
wtf? wrong thread my friend!
what a cool idea!! cheers
hej!
nice idea about the ROM watcher! I usually use twitter to follow Miri, or
twitter.com/dXsL/Leo-ROM-development.
Now Miri has moved to HTCpedia, guess the app needs an update

I was browsing through the ftp and it appears there are tons of stuff in the Universal Uploads folder. If someone in here is able to verify that all the stuff in there is good (well good as in meaning no virus's or fake files) then let me know i will jump in and move the stuff into "Safe Heaven". Since im not a Universal user i cant verify them myself, but i do want to get the ftp cleaned up a bit so its easier to find the stuff people want.
Universal Upload Folder
Most of the AKU3 ROMs directory is ok. "Uni_AKU3_WWE". I have try Indra, Ivan & Helmi. My friend tried Jwrights.
Most of the Radio directory is ok. "Radio". I have used the 1.14.10 & the 1.13.00
HELMI_UNIVERSAL_VISTA_BOOTSREEN_PACK.rar is ok.
Seems like a lot of stuff are missing or is it moved to somewhere?
Hi, I can verify Helmi's rom AKU3.5 latest version, radio 1.14.10, CreateBootScreenPackage.rar and MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (under Uni_Tool folder) are all working and free of virus.
I'd like to have CreateBootScreenPackage.rar under Universal folder out of Uploads cause I'm planning to link it from Universal's wiki.

I understand the need to clean up the ftp folders but if the files are moved away from their present folders then almost every link to files in the upload folder will be invalid. That means that allot of users will be asking again and again for the files. Just thought I'd share.

Then they will have 2 options:
1. People can update their links to the point to the Universal folder and not the upload folder.
2. People can look be proactive and look in the Universal folder for what they are looking for.
By moving them to the regular universal folder it will prevent people from deleting files that may be of use. I am probably going to start moving files today!

Yeah. I believe you're right. I completely forgot about the fact that the Uploads folder is open to the users. Sorry about that.
By the way, have you seen the WM5NewMenu and the Close app software in any of the folders? Thanks
New App for the Universal Tools-Programs Folder
Hi. I was looking for this software, the WM5NewMenu software and a member gave it to me. I've installed it and it's working great. Here's the link to the forum and I've attached it as well.
Btw if you get the CloseApp software please post me the link. Thanks.
It's post number 428

You should also put up the Orange Today Menu from the following link. I've tried this out as well. Thanks.

Tool_and_programs folder in Uploads folder
I have added a folder in the uploads folder called "Tools_and_programs".
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Tools_and_programs/
In that folder I have put in four programs:
Currency_Converter_2005.zip: This is a free and really good program I found online.
ftp://xda:[email protected]_and_programs/Currency_Converter_2005.zip
OxiosMemory-CloseApp.zip: This is the close app and hibernate app that is included in most of the AKU ROMs.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Tools_and_programs/OxiosMemory-CloseApp.zip
spv_m3100_orange_homescreen_194.zip: This is the Today screen from the Orange ROMs.
ftp://xda:[email protected]_programs/spv_m3100_orange_homescreen_194.zip
WM5NewMenu.CAB: This is the program/tool from most of the AKU ROMs.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Tools_and_programs/WM5NewMenu.CAB
I have put up these programs to share with the community. However until it's moved to the main Universal folder out of the Uploads folder I am not held responsible for any manipulation to these files. The modified by date on the files when i put them up were: 24.01.2007 3:31PM for the Currency zip file while the other three were: 24.01.2007 3:20PM.

Where is radio 1.14? I am looking at ftp://[email protected]/Universal/Radio/ and the highest radio is 1.13 and it says T-Mobile Germany. Is it safe to use also when not in Germany? And were is 1.14?
FYI:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/Radio
Here's the working link
Radio in upload folder
The date on the file matches the one that I have on my PC and which is installed on my set so I'm guessing it's the same. Could have sworn that was in the Universal folder instead of the Uploads. There's a Radio named "1.4.10" ... I'm guessing this is a typo? Since it's in the main Universal folder that means that its real? Anyone try that file?
The date on 1.4 is 15/11/2005, the date on 1.14 is 23/10/2006 and the contents differ.... so I guess one is indeed 1.4 rather than a typo!

I searched the Microsoft site for the knowledge base file and well it's a Wireless LAN API fix/patch/program. It's used on a Windows XP machine so you should delete it. I have not idea why someone put it there. Must have been by accident.

Hi there,
I noticed when trying to open a file with for instance pqview, I can only see the my documents directory. I know there´s a fix for this somewhere on this forum, I only have not be able to find it with the search feature...
Does someone know what to do?
Thanks
Anyone any idea?
Please please? I know there´s a fix for this somewhere on this forum. Just can´t find it. Would really appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction
for starters...
update ur signature. tell us ur phone version ur rom ur radio and the details of who cooked the rom.
second more details on ur question such as the app u were using to open with.
i dont have this problem. the apps always show two three or four options as to base location to choose from.
either my device. storage card. network. or extended rom if unhidden.
these r usually located at the top left as a drop down.
u may have lost ur sd card... if indeed that is where ur looking.
in the end dude... urnt a noob with that many posts either that or u have been flamed some.
first signature. then lots more details. we r not mind readers n dont have time to bugger around with people who ask such half baked questions with inadequate details to give u an answer.

Thanks for the replies. I'm using the LVSW version WM6, of 26th march, for the Hermes. The program which has the issue, is pqview.
I have not lost my SD card. It is accesible through file explorer

I don't find the build in app easy. To zoom for instance, one must go to options, zoom. I like to see thumbnails as well.

Here is the link to the thing.
You will also find a nice flash animation on how to use it here - it is showing pictures like one attached.
Please use Google first. This is not a support forum for PQView.

The attached picture is printscreen of the instructional flash presentation there which tells how to open a different directory. In short to open a directory other than My documents there is a way: In Pqview tap file>>Open Image>>you see open file screen which offers my documents folder for browsing, if you tap the screen directly above left top edge of this box you will get dropdown box in which you can choose to browse : your device (which means you can browse further for whatever file you have on your phone) or My documents. See attached screenshot. It does not show the caption of the current folder for me but you can clearly see where to tap if you want to open a file wrom within PQView. I managed to open some pictures so you should be able to do so too.
2/22/08 Links have been pulled and no further support on this base.
Thanks for everyone's support - but 6.1 isn't ready for mainstream use.
Watch for future releases.
Suggestions:
Extract everything into one folder.
In that folder, you should have:
OEM
SYS
ROM
TOOLS
BuildNB.bat
Sweet stuff matt.
Will give it a run at some point, should be working great if PN8b3 is anything to go by.

Nope. I think the ROM folder from bepe's 6.1 kitchen (V1) isn't big storage, but I need to go back and read through his thread to check. Hope to have some options soon
I've used the older version of this kitchen before no problems. Just loaded this one and it builds my os fine I pick all my stuff as normal then close the window and I get a error report window that buildip.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
Any ideas?

Not yet. There are a few modules that are decompiled and on other software packages that I've tried to re-merge, the results have not been good.
I hope someone like Duthroy (who's done many others successfully) will get the chance to do so

Hi, I'm still having a problem with restoring SMS via PIMBackup (even v2.8). I even tried restoring them with SPB backup. The inbox appears empty, although the message number (552 messages) is shown on the bottom. As other users have reported restoring successfully, I believe it might have to do that I have 2 subfolders under ''inbox''.
Anyone got an idea on how to overcome this?

wmDownloader v0.2
This application allows you to easily download files from One-Click-Hosters like rapidshare. It can be used to download your files overnight without use of PC, but remember to plug your PocketPC to charger.
I recomend turning of not cheap GPRS data connection in case of WiFi lost connection.
Application using michyprima's manila SDK.
User guide:
After first start go to "Config" tab, select destination folder for your files and click "Save". Now you can add files in "Files" tab or by editing file "files.txt" and then reloading it using "Menu->Reload files.txt".
When you added some files you can start download process. Files will be removed automaticly from list after download.
Known bugs:
- not all rapidshare error messages are parsed
- directory browser can't create new directory
- some minor UI bugs like formatting timer
Change log:
v0.2
- code prepared for multiple upload websites
- added config for download folder
- new UI
- .NET CF 3.5 used
v0.1
- initial write
Screenshots:

Nice idea, will test it.
edit: Works, but the problem with my device is , that i haven´t got a Storage Card, it called "Interner Speicher" on my german Diamond. So the files will download only to device storage -.-
Another problem is, that the device turn off, when I am downloading, so it would be nice if you can put in a function, that disable this,during the app is running.
And of course if possible more hoster support, for example netload, upload..
Thanks and this is another link

Rapidshare downloader.rar
Many thanks, elektro255, it simply WORKS!
There is a file, that for the past weeks I never got a chance from crapidshare to downlead it,I was thinking that the site will never give a slot for this file. But last night your lite tool did it. After about 20 times trying by itself, it downloaded the file while I was sleeping.
Here's some minor issues and suggestions:
Like others found, in my Chinese ROM, it created a folder and downloaded the file to main memory.
On my QVGA device, the font size for displaying details is too small.
Is that possible in future release to make it work with other sites like mediafire etc. I don't really have demand for this myself, but maybe others have better suggested site.
Last thing is that your app does not have an icon and the shortcut looks not good in start menu. If you want to keep the tiny size of it and does not want to include another file into it, you may just use one of the system icons that comes with shellres etc.
Anyway it already did what is expected to do.
Premiumaccount and "Speicherkarte" support - would be nice

Hi,
I made simple app to download rapidshare.com files over night.
1. App is just pre pre alpha version but works for now
2. I'm not planning to continue work on this app as long as it works fine for me [but if you have good idea what can be included in next version you can write on this topic]
3. For this app is required \Storage Card\ folder.
App written in C# .NET 2.0, tested on HTC Topaz
Downloaded files are stored in \Storage Card\Downloads\
Rapidshare links are stored in \Storage Card\Downloads\files.txt (after edit via external editor, app have to be restarted)
I advise to disable GPRS connection (to avoid big bill in case of wifi disconnected) and to conect charger

very good job done there pawel, open up your donation box mate ! you deserve a cherry

Software is working fine on qvga...but fonts are pretty small...if possible make it user freindly...thanks
Thank you for the excellent program. I apologize for my English. Not bad, it would be in the input line to copy-paste, and a great author, please do similar programs on letitbit.net and depositfiles.com. Many thanks in advance.
Thanks for the good job! Could you make it possible to choose the directory path to save the file?
Nice work Bro
Small little app but works like a champ!! Works just like rapidshare auto downloader (for those who don't know, just google it coz this is a really convenient software for those who use rapidshare often) but in windows phone version.
Nice job
I decided to continue work on this application. So v0.2 you can download in first post.
Currently I'm working to support other One-Click-Hosters like hotfile, so check this thread time-to-time.
This seems like a really neat program, will be using now!
Thanks a lot!

Hey great idea, but yea writing the web address is a pain, copy n paste would be good, but how about incorporating search!!!
Maybe hook up to a few search sites, use their code, and then be able to click on it, which inputs the address into what you already have!
Just a thought lol
