Live Messenger for Samsung Epix i907

I use unlocked version of epix i907 on tmobile.
The live messenger client on i907 won't work, and it seems that the messenger program is tied to at&t text messaging, so it won't work with wifi connection or data plan.
It would be great if somebody would help me with a working live messenger for epix i907.
I tried both 10.6.0034.2500 and 10.6.0034.0800 files from this forum, both doesn't start at all, with me installing it after hard reset.
Same thing here. Has anybody had any luck?
After playing around with this for a while it looks like "Windows Live 10.6.0034.0800 (Fixed).zip" CAB from the Windows Live Messenger thread does not include the 128 DPI resource DLLs needed for the 320x320 Epix.
Fortunately, the Treo Pro has the same 320x320 dimensions and the ROM image ships with WLM version 10.6.0034.0800 so the 128 DPI files were there.
To get this working I installed the CAB from "Windows Live 10.6.0034.0800 (Fixed).zip" and then manually copied the Treo Pro 128 DPI files to the Windows directory.
I did get a series of security messages for each DLL asking me if I trusted the DLLs.
Now I'm new to all this jigger-pokery (this is my first post) so there was probably something I could have done to build the DLLs into a new CAB, but once I accepted the dialogs for each file, things seemed to work fine.
Here are the 128 DPI resource DLLs:

can you guys help me to get to the windows directory epix
your going to have to unhide the protected operating system files on the host computer to get to it, or use something such as total commander.

"Function Not Supported" every time I try a registry edit

I'm on the ATT Tilt 2, no custom roms installed. I'm using Total Commander as my registry editor, but every time I try to change something I get "function not supported" in a dialog box. I did some searching on the Rhodium boards for this but have found nothing. Is there anything I can do to release this lock? Perhaps a different registry editor?
Thanks for any help,

I've never heard of that before, but my advice is to try another registry editor. I personally use Dotfred's task manager, as it includes loads of functions including a decent registry editor. Otherwise, try any remote registry editor, which allow you to edit the registry of a WM device from a desktop computer while the device is synced with ActiveSync/WMDC.

Registry Edit Apps for Dell Venue Pro

Have there been any tools written to work with the Dell Venue Pro for editing Registry?
All the registry hacks and programs written so far seems to be HTC specific, or at least only HTC compatible.
I can unlock my Dell Venue Pro with Chevron, deploy XAPs but I cannot modify the registry. Argh! No program I have tried can modify it.
Basically, I want to be able to spoof my Dell Venue Pro to an HD7 (just like what we've done with the HD2). - Maybe then my web2go plan can work the DVP after?
If not, IMEI spoofing is another consideration (but we all know why I can't ) - unless....
rebump. anyone?
Bump. I'm also interested in this. I would prefer a general WP7 registry hack though. It would help to keep development free flowing across devices.
dell - no com dlls...
ergo no provxml
no registry...it sucks

sorry, i didnt understand that. can you reiterate? in layman's terms?
A com dll is a library for storing files that are shared between programs. Which brings me to my question. How can there be no com dll? We have read access to the registry but the write access is blocked right now. They are sharing essentially the exact same code with minor customizations for drivers and such. This does not remove the dll files from the device though. Or am I completely misunderstanding the idea of a dll file?
The LG, Samsung, and HTC phones have OEM-specific apps. To make those apps do useful work, the manufacturer has some COM DLLs exposing functionality not otherwise available to applications. Those COM DLLs are being exploited to create the hacks you see for other phones.
There are no Dell-specific apps and therefore no COM DLLs to exploit.
they do have some tmobile apps that come preloaded. can those work?
gosh! there must be some common exploit. this is stupid!
This is as close as an explot we can get the:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929211
that is Dell's hidden diagnostic menu.
please someone find a way to hack this device!
Thanks for the clarification. I was not aware that the work around for ALL devices was coming from the pre installed manufacturer apps. Would the supposed password for the composite mode on the venue pro diagnostic mode be of any help? This is supposed to allow access to tethering according to pocketnow.com. The composite mode password is supposedly *#301# from what I have read.
Extremely unlikely.
The functionality exposed by the COM DLLs on Samsung HTC LG are things like being able to write to the registry and filesystem with elevated privs (to support provisioning apps and the like).
There is a com dll in the "connection setting" app from the store. Search for that title or "Dell" in the marketplace. Someone also posted the EM mode app. You could use that com dll as well

[HELP] Mango vs NoDo handling of Email Replies via Registry Hacks

Greetings:
I am trying to resolve an issue that seems much more complicated than it should be and that I have not been able to find any info on looking across MANY forums, boards, tech sites, etc...I also had this over in the QA board but I need some really in-depth feedback.
I use my WP7 phone for work (I have the HTC Trophy and am on Verizon). I am connected to an exchange server and everything works great EXCEPT email replies; the original email text is NOT included and needs to be especially for work. Reviewing other threads across the web it seems this is normally enabled.
I checked with VZW second tier support and supposedly this feature is turned off on the Trophy. Fine, so I dug around, found an obscure WM6.5 reference to a registry key, poked around my NoDo registry and by trial and error was able to enable it by adding this;
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings
Value Name – IncludeOriginal
Value Type – Integer
Value Data – 1
Works great. Now, I am a registered dev and went to upgrade to Mango 7712and did everything possible I could think of but I can not get this back no matter where or what reg edit. I also came across someone else on T-Mobile that had this feature enabled on NoDo and went to the Mango RTM and now it does not work. Maybe the core code and handling of this has changed in Mango; anyone else look at this?
Does the provxml reg edit for Mango on the VZW CDMA Trophy 7 work under any circumstances? It appears it is but it may also be keeping the provxml edits I make at the mid-step point in the Mango process (applied at the 7403 rev before proceeding to 7712). I make the provxml edits in Nodo using the older HTC Connection Setup (new rev does not work as described somewhere else). I then use it again at the 7403 step but have to switch to the new rev on 7712 (old no longer runs). Once I run the new rev HTC connection in Mango I can launch TouchXplorer and am unlocked. I can do all the same provxml processes (email new CustClear.provxml, copy, move, etc) but I am not positive edits are being made. But if my previous edits are kept (which all appear to be) why does my IncludeOriginal key not carry over?
Another note; it appears the main location in NoDo for this hack was HKLM (found using Reg Editor) and not in the HKCU like WM6. Looking at Mango registry dumps this is now in HKCU; is there more restrictive access to HKCU on the CDMA Mango or any version of WP7? I added a HKCU hack to the provxml at all steps just to have it there but did no good.
This brings up a good question - can you edit HKCU the same way as HKLM? I also see the key location I am after moved from Default.hv to User.hv when going from NoDo to Mango; does the provxml work on the whole registry or just the Default hive?
P.S. I have built a process to even get to where I can have TouchXplorer run on the CDMA device from a lot of other threads in this forum and greatly appreciate having everyone's knowledge to use. Thanks!
Getting desperate!
Does anyone have an insight to the registry of Mango and what the inbox/exchange/activesync keys are and what options are available? Or, does anyone know what email structure/client WP7 Mango is using now as far as emulator, provisioning, format (Windows CE 7, MAPI, etc...).
I am wondering if anyone knows to setup a provxml executable code that can provision the email client to override VZWs setting such that the replies to email include the original email text in the reply.
Thanks and appreciate any insight. There must be a way to tell the embedded email client on the phone to do what I want. I could do it in NoDo but the same reg hack is NOT working in Mango and I suspect it is due to a embedded client change in handling of email; I have verified I can make changes to the reg via the provxml method using HTC Connection in Mango.
Hi LiFePo4,
I'm having the same situation as you. I use Mango for work, absolutely love it. But I also do need the email trial in my replies. Hopefully someone would have found a workaround.

Zune Software: App / Podcast disappeared on marketplace page

This feature was removed some weeks ago.
In order to bring it back, create a .reg file containing:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Zune\FeaturesOverride]
"Podcasts"=dword:00000001
"Apps"=dword:00000001
Found this at Pocket.CH and since it maybe useful for others I like to share it with you.
