I'm starting this thread so Axim users of Football's (et al.) wm6 ROM can share what, if any, applications or hacks found on xda-devs that you have tried and recommend for our favorite VGA non-phone HTC device with the latest OS.. Also post which did not work, worked but not useful , and what tweaks were needed to get them to fuction best.
Note: Please note the original thread/post and give credit to the original developer/poster when you can. Also note what device (x50v or x51v) and ROM used.
HTC Audio Manager for VGA
I tested this version of the HTC Audio Manager and it works well and displays in full VGA. (Other versions found would not display well)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327188
The only problem I see is that the remote bluetooth controls do not work like they do on WMP. Also, you better like green.
Tested on Axim x51v with WM6 A02beta
pBar by nncuong
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284952&highlight=pBar
Task switcher/close-button/quick-launcher/wireless-toggler/system-info application all in one tiny place. Basically a magicbutton-like replacement for the fake 'close' button.
Just download and place the pBar.exe anywhere on the device. Latest version (v1.4) has problem that hitting the OK button on dialogs may minimize or close the main app if you select the 'Show Child Windows' option.
Tested on x51v WM5 A17, WM6 A01 and A02Beta (now also tested on A03 preview).
PocketCM Keyboard by Tene
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321712
Alternative keyboard SIP with better feedback for "finger typing" (similar to eye-fone keyboard). Fully configurable to any keyboard layout/language you may need with word completion/correction and predictive text.
Note: You will also need a VGA skin or it will not display correctly. (Rename the zip file you download to .skin and copy it to the application install directory - '\Program Files\PCMKeyboard\' if installed on device )
Usable, but new versions are rapidly being released with additional features. (Currently at v 0.8)
I found a 'spanish' layout in the forums that I like because it has more keys on the last line (including . and , keys near the space bar). Even though it is a 'spanish' keyboard layout, the dictionary can still be set to english.
Tested on x51v with wm6 A01 and A02beta.
Contact Manager v0.11 by TENE (Not PocketCM)
Want a scrolling, finger friendly contact list (ala eye-phone).
I have tested the original Contact Manager v.11 application found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314048&highlight=ContactManager
Unfortunately, this is no longer in development, and has morphed into PocketCM (also by Tene). PocketCM was designed for wm6 phones and will not work on the x51v (Error on startup). According to Tene, it will not work on any non-phone PDA.
Direct link to old CM v.11 http://www.pocketcm.com/olddl.php
Tested on x51v WM6 A01 and A02beta
Anyone try the other finger scrolling Contact Managers out there?

That has nothing to do with this thread. And no, if Dell never released WM5 for the X5 series, there's no reason to think WM6 will be released for it.
what about Internet Caliing (wm6 voip ) at Ax? it doesn't seem to work at all.

Are you referring to something like Skype?
this is not a app but it adds the clicks when you click on menus and stuff
tested and worked on x50v WM6 A02 rom was from the a person that work on the porting of wm6 to HTC Wizard don't remember
I also tested the home plug in and battery tray icon from the htc touch rom don't show up. (install but don't see them)
it maybe a vga compatible problem
I tried the Fix_WM6_Sounds.CAB file from above on Football's wm6 A03 preview. Works well. Adds the "dinks" and other sounds when clicking the menu. After CAB install, I did not notice the new sounds until a soft reset.
In the Football x51v WM6 thread, someone complained that there is no 'uninstall' of the CAB if you want to stop the new sounds. What I noticed is that after you install the CAB and go to Sounds and Notifications, the settings may be unchecked even though the sounds are activated. Just enable all the settings for the sounds (even if they are already active) then uncheck them. (i.e. cycle on, then off) By unchecking Events, Screen Taps and Hardware buttons, I was able to 'silence' my Axim as before.
Edit: Menu clicks are part of Events. After this CAb install, you can't silence the clicks without silencing all event sounds. See this thread for more info and two other sound schemes you may want instead of this one that adds all sounds back to wm6.
Note: It appears that all of these CABs add missing/new sound files and registry entries to access them. Fix_WM6_Sounds.CAB adds sounds to the scheme called .AllSounds. The CABs in the other thread add two more (.WM5 and .WM6). According to that thread, you can switch between them by changing the registry entry for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Snd\Event\.Scheme followed by a soft reset. You could also edit the .AllSounds key to remove the sound file definition for menu actions. See the other thread for the locations of the string in the key. (looks like its position 10 & 11).
This is another useful post about sound schemes.
Update: I created this Registry code that defines a new scheme called ".SomeSounds" and sets this as the scheme to use. The only difference between this and .AllSounds is that I set menupop and menusel to "empty" sound, thus eliminating the clicks on menu but not the other events. Note : you need to do a soft reset after importing the registry. Use a software based soft reset because for some reason the hardware reset button on the back will reset the registry back as well. I use the soft reset button on pBar.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Snd\Event]
".SomeSounds"=hex(7):41,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,72,00,69,00,73,00,6b,00,00,00,43,00,6c,00,6f,00,73,\

No.. It's working 100% on my i-mate JasJam.. I even have FtouchFlo installed and they work together perfectly after adding Execlude line in FTouchFlo config file
I'm running WM6 (Schap's 3.6)
lots of defect still there. way to go
Seems to work OK on my TyTN. Will continue to test.
Interesting app - lost of others have been trying to get the same thing done with limited success it would seem.
Doesn't work on my Hermes!
No Problems. It is working as expected.
I just installed it, and it is working very well and in combination with FTouchFlo, now i have a real touchflo cube that is perfectly configurabel.
i'am running shaps 3.54b GER ROM
cheerrs,

work OK on my TyTN how can i work also and touch flo ?
I have tested touch commander on my HTC hermes. It's give a new way of navigation and you can program your own shortcuts
i have this application it is better that flash cube!!
but still it should assign to a button so i thought maybe with FTouchFlo it could be launch from screen.
any idea how to set FTouchFlo to launch touch commander?
edit the config file FTouchFloConfig.txt
DownUpApp: /Program Files/touchcommander.exe
DownUpAppCmdLine:
and it will work
yes i did it it is very cool, and faster start up with touch commander.
also i put TouchFlo shortcut in startup so even after soft reset it would work.
No luck with mine. After uninstalling, I get a message stating it's looking for touch commander.exe when I press the messaging button. I checked the button assignments in setting and button 1 is set for messaging.
Haven't found a fix yet, but that's a report on what I discovered.
New version Touch Commander 3.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375111
installing now, will let you know
Nah, not working 100% on my hermes. Looks promising for the future once its being tweaked a bit
HELP
I purchased the 3.0 and it has soooooo many bugs and things I didn't wan that just sucked the life out of my device like battery indicator and htc home screen ect.....then I downloaded the new 3.1 which said it fixed the bugs I had complained about but didnt and in fact made my device crash so I had to hard reset. How I was suggested by their customer support to download an ealier version so I downloaded 2.0. It is exactly what I wanted and I am so happy but now I cannot register it. My registration code doesn't work for the 2.0.
My question to all of you on here is if anyone is interested in switching registration codes???? I will give you this code for 3.0 which also works for 3.1 if you give me your code for 2.0. I have contacted their support asking them for one with no response. I need this ASAP!!! Thanks and just shoot me a message if your interested!!!
So basically your asking someone for a code to version 2 which works in turn for a code for versions 3.0 & 3.1 which don't

Hi,
I have a program that uses Month Calendar controls. It works fine on any Windows Mobile 6.5 device, except HTC HD2 (Leo), where nothing is shown where the Month Calendar must be shown and because of this, SendDlgItemMessage(IDC_ROUTEDAYCALENDAR, MCM_GETCURSEL, 0, (LPARAM) (LPSYSTEMTIME)&iDate); returns an invalid iDate (0-00-65535). The program was made with embedded Visual C++ 4.0 using the PocketPC 2003 SDK, but the Calendar control is not shown even when I use the Windows Mobile 6 SDK with Visual Studio 2005, the symptom is the same: nothing is shown (just the window behind the calendar dialog).
The other thing that works fine with any Windows Mobile device except this, is a control that is derived from CListCtrl. This control is implemented in a .dll and sends user defined windows message to the app when the user changes a value in it. On the HTC HD2, this message is not received by the app.
Do you have any idea that can take me closer to the solution for these problems ?
Thanks,
Viktor
Hi,
I got the same problem with c# and VS 2008. It looks like that HTC has replaced the standard windows monthcalendar control with a custom made one and a lot of properties haven´t been implemented propertly like size, location aso. However the datetimepicker is working but looks strange since the calendar is allways fullscreen. So if you want to pick one date you can try to use that one.

Hi,
thanks for your reply. Now I use the datetimepicker control, but the problem is that the month calendar of the datetimepicker is shown at about 200%, most of it is out of the screen:
It is displayed by default...
Do you have any idea?
Hi,
sorry I haven´t check the forum for a while now.
I haven´t seen that problem bevor but maybe the problem is the formfactor of your usercontrol or form? I guess the autoresize of the control is not working correct so I would suggest to set the FromFactor to Windows Mobile 6 Professional VGA. Maybe that helps.

HTC HD2 Calendar Bug
Hi,
I have the same problem
The simple code :
m_MonthCalCtl = CreateWindowEx(0, MONTHCAL_CLASS, _T(""),
WS_BORDER | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | MCS_DAYSTATE,
0, 0, 0, 0, m_hWnd, (HMENU)ID_MONTHCAL, hInst, NULL);
works perfectly with others devices like :
- HTC Touch2 (WM6.5)
- Samsung GT-I8000 (WM6.5)
- ACER E-101 (WM6.5)
- HTC Diamond (WM6.1)
But with the HTC HD2, calendar appears in zoom mode.
We can't resize it.
Here a link to an image ( remove the space in the word "http" )

HTC adds a registry key in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Commctrl\CustomDateTimeCtrl] = \windows\htcDTP.dll
if you remove this registry key on the HTC HD2, everything will be ok.
Thanks for the registry key! Couldn't figure out why the latest 6.5 ROMs for TP2 were no longer working with my .NET applications where MonthCalendar was used. Removed the key and now everything is working.
Thanks! I removed the line and now I can access the WM 6.5.3 normal common built-in functions.
Now I have:
- The normal date/week picker (since HTC:s own doesnt show weeks - and I need see the week numbers in my work)
- The normal time picker. (which is quite good in 6.5.3)
Why is always HTC always removning many of the built in functions. In this case it means that developers can not build applications for all WM-platforms.

Replace HTC calendar with the default Windows Calendar control.
Good for Developers. Works great. Thanks for the tip
I have updated a registry editor (that works with HTC devices) that I found here on xda to work with non-interop unlocked devices (viewing only). If you want to edit entries you will have to add the interop line to the manifest file manually. If you don't know how to do this then look it up .
If the OP of this app has any issue with me doing this please contact me and I will take it down.
I made is so the search bar is hidden by default
Added Icons for folder vs. entry
Added custom splash and icons
Made it so you can use the back button. No more having to click [..]
Interop unlock not needed
Added a few paths that were missing from the old version
Added tilt effect to selected item in the list view. This makes it easier to identify which item you are actually clicking on
Added an exit button to close the application since you might not want to have to hit back a bunch of times.
If you have any suggestions please feel free to tell me
2011-11-17: Added exception handling

It does not works on my HD2 does anyone tested working on HD2
THX, works fine on htc 7 pro
It does not works on my HD2.
So if this is a registry editor that works on mango htc devices.
Couldn't we interop unlock our HTC devices by just setting the max apps above 300?
I'm upgrading to mango this weekend and I would love to interop unlock my device so I can attempt to get internet sharing working.
With a cdma Sprint Arrive, there is no custom bootloader so interop unlocking is our only shot to get internet sharing working right now

App does not work on VZW HTC Trophy. It tries to launch for a second and then closes. Wonder if this is due to having the HTC updates that came after Mango?
On my fully updated HD7 with 7.10.7720 that is chevon unlocked, this app opens then closes right back. It allows me to see the screen for like half a sec.

What is the FULL version that you are running and what ROM are you using (stock or custom)?
For example my Radar is 7.10.7720.68
Stock 7.10.7720.68 - my phone is in my sig. Thanks
Hmm. I will test it on my sister's HD7 and see if I can debug it. Strange thing is I am not using anything that is specific to the Radar. Thank you for the Full version number. Those last 2 digits do help
There have been issues with some versions of DllImport on HTC Mango phones. The latest one works on my HD7 though. However, this app does not.
7720.68 (Retail build) but none of the HTC updates (so ComRegRW and ComFileRW still work). Speaking of which, I notice you've included them in the XAP - considering that they're useless on most HTC phones, that's not terribly good use of storage.
Love the icon/splash screen though. Also, thank you for not installing in the Settings hub; I actually really am not much of a fan of that.
Can you link me to a dll import file that does work on your device? I can update the code to see if that helps.

i'm ready to use it instead of schaps one so...strenght & bravery bro!

Turns out it must be the NativeLibrary or the DMXMLCOM.dll that are giving people issues.
I just added some exception handling to the xap. Please re-download and try again. Provide me with the exception it throws.
