I guess you are referring to "appointments". Well, it's there but hidden to save RAM. You can enable it using a simple registry edit.

I guess you have already answered your question. Unless you really feel p**d off with what you currently have, there is no need to flash new ROMs. Moreover, flashing is all about trying new things, so if you don't feel the urge to try out new ROMs, well; not needed.
To add to that, I guess I already mentioned pretty much in detail what this ROM has( utilities, free RAM/storage,etc.) So flash it only if you feel you need the stuff.

Can you help send me link to download Rom 6.1 for P565?
Thanks so much!
Hi,
how I can change the font and font size, coz fonts are too small for me.
Second... i found that is inposible to enter 3 digits (192.168.*.*) when I try to set up my wireless network. I can enter only 2 digits (19 .16 .*.*).
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Rishi,
Thank you for your reply and I really appreciate your effort in providing people with this new ROM. I guess you are right about the fact that I should be flashing the ROM if i really want to try things out differently. I definitely want to try out your ROM however I would like to know if there is a way i can reset the phone with my previous ROM if something were to go wrong. Also I want to know what exactly is the root directory of storage mentioned in the steps for flashing the ROM. Sorry to be a pain but I am very new to this.
Thanks.

A sincere word of advice, as you sound to be 'too new' to all this. There are many good threads for newbies like you, and it is recommended that everyone reads through them before starting with flashing. I bet all your queries will be answered.

Regarding fonts, I guess there is a registry hack to change the font size. For the three-digits issue, need to check as I am using a server-assigned IP ( which I have pre-allocated in the wireless router itself against my phone's MAC address). In effect, this works like a static IP only.

2. HKLM\System\GWE\MENU\ ( BarFnt/PopFnt)
cheers,
Thank You, rishi2504!
I fix fonts problem in 2 steps.
1st. using these tools:
ChangeFonts v0.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416325)
nueFonts-100-v1.0
http://forum.smartphonejunkie.com/f551/neu-fonts-change-ur-old-boring-fonts-174628/
2nd. Start menu fonts size:
by editing
\Windows\StartMenu_GridScene_480x640.cpr
\Windows\StartMenu_GridScene_640x480.cpr
FontFamily="Tahoma" FontSize="7" -> FontFamily="Tahoma" FontSize="9"
Hmmm... after hard reset IP settings issue is fixed. I don't know what exactly is happening, but now problem is gone...
If You want to free some RAM, use SKTolls to delete registry entries for unused today plugins (or manually delete the registry keys).
Action Screen !!
Hi folks,
Updated ROM coming soon with Action Screen .. ( see attached screenshot)...
Pls. ensure you give your feedback , even if there were no issues found on the ROM.. helps me know whether people are interested or not

Dear Everyone
As a Bangladeshi and Android user, many others like me facing the below problem since the day android comes out. People who wants to browse a website written in complex scripts such as uni-code support can never get the solution (properly). For that reason we are unable to read online newspaper those are in bangla.
We know we have some great dev, the can sort out this issue for us ? It must have a way to do so. Currently Opera giving a solutions - Using bitmap fonts for complex scripts. It works flawlessly also though become horrible when the article is big. Click here to see the whole procedure.
Then one of Bangladeshi guy named Mehedi did some tricks like below which didn't work -
Steps to be followed:
1. Get Solaimanlipi or Lohit fonts. (other unicode ones should do too)
2. Rename the font (one that’s chosen) to DroidSansFallback.ttf
3. Put the font into the SDCARD root.
4. Open terminal (oh! forgot to tell, you neet to be root)
5. Type the following and hit ENTER
su
6. Wait till $ sign turns into #
7. type the following and hit ENTER (mounting the system partition)
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
8. Then the following and hit ENTER
chmod 4755 /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf
9. in following line we will overwrite the existing font with the one from SDCARD
dd if=/sdcard/DroidSansFallback.ttf of=/system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf
10. Once typed the above, hit ENTER
11. REBOOT immediately using the following:
reboot

This problem is still out there which need your kinds input. So far, Tibetan, Arabic, Hebrew,Hindi and few more languages were proved successful.
Or if i'm not updated and somebody have the solutions please share it with us.
[Attention] Google
Google should have built-in support in their android phone for this language. Bangla is currently stand at no 7 in the top natively language.
Recently a day has been selected for the International Mother Language by UNESCO,which has been commemorated in Bangladesh since 1952, when a number of students including the students of the University of Dhaka were killed by the Pakistani police in Dhaka during the Bengali Language Movement protests.
I have expecting built-in bangla in android very soon, apple already did the job.
This is a big problem almost everywhere........language problems can be best handled by Google if you can provide your query to them
I will bro...

NEW: WP7 Root Tools 1.2 is released! It includes an Accent Color editor and Internet Sharing unlock now.
WP7 Root Tools
With this tool you get root-access to your WP7 device. The current version contains the Policy Unlock Installer, a registry-editor, a file-explorer with many file-operations, certificate-stores, a policy-editor, a tweaks-section and an Accent color editor. This is your all-in-one system-tool for Windows Phone 7.
If you like this app, you can donate to buy me a beer (or two).
With WP7 Root Tools I attempt to open up the system in a gentle way, so that users stay in control of their device, while homebrew apps can get more control to get the maximum power out of your Windows Phone device!
Supported Devices
Samsung first and second generation devices with Interop Unlock
LG devices
HTC first generation devices with Mango v1 drivers (SPL 4.x or lower)
Samsung first generation devices with custom ROM and Full Unlock
HTC first and second generation devices with custom ROM and Full Unlock
NOKIA devices with custom ROM and Full Unlock
Your phone needs to have at least INTEROP-UNLOCK. If you get error 0x81030120 when you deploy WP7 Root Tools to your device, then please read this guide! WP7 Root Tools will also work on devices with Full Unlock. If you want to know more about the different types of unlocks or if you want to know why WP7 Root Tools may or may not run on your WP7 device, you should read this guide.

Don't be stupid, make a backup!!
This tool is still in alpha stage. That means not yet properly tested. This tool also provides you with high privileges with which you can alter low level settings and data on this device. All this may result in unexpected and undesired behavior, which may ultimately damage your device. Use this tool with care and use it at your own risk. The developer of this tool cannot be hold responsible for any kind of damages, caused directly or indirectly by using this tool.
You can find backup-programs here on XDA. For example WP7 Easy Backup Tool by MarcHoover or WP7 Backup App by hx4700 Killer.
Installation
On devices with custom ROM and Full Unlock, the installation of WP7 Root Tools will be pretty straight-forward. You install the XAP and it works. On devices with stock ROM's WP7 Root Tools need to install Root Access. The first time it runs, a 2-phase-installation will start. The app will inform you to start the first install-phase. Then the device will reboot after a few seconds. After the reboot you need to start WP7 Root Tools again immediately! Then the second phase of the installation will start and your device will be rebooted again. After the second reboot you are ready to use WP7 Root Tools.
Update to a new version
If you have an earlier version of WP7 Root Tools installed and you have WP7 Root Tools Policy Unlock, I strongly advise to UPDATE the app, instead of doing a full install-cycle. Many XAP installers will do a full install-cycle. That can lead to problems, because during the installation WP7 Root Tools will temporary loose its Root Access. In that case WP7 Root Tools needs to do the 2-phase-installation again. This is usually not a problem, but future OEM- or OS-updates could make it possible that the reinstall will not be possible. So, to be on the safe side, first make a backup of the device (use a backup tool from the XDA forums) and then use a XAP installer that has the possibility to update an app. One such utility is XAPDeployX 0.9.
Registry Editor
The registry editor in WP7 Root Tools allows full Root Access to the registry. Be very careful with your tweaks, because this may profoundly influence the behavior of your device.
To delete a registrykey or -value you can tap-and-hold the item and choose delete in the context-menu.
The new version also has Advanced Search functionality.
File Explorer
The file-explorer supports all file- and folder-operations, like copying, moving, renaming and deleting files and folders. To select multiple files at once, you can tap an item on the left, which will pop up selection-boxes.
When you select files and folders with the selection-boxes, the file-operations can be chosen from the Applicationbar. It is also possible to tap-and-hold an item and choose the file-operation from the context-menu.
You can tap on an item to launch or open it. It might be necessary to give the app that needs to open the file root-privileges first. The new version of WP7 Root Tools allows you to give Root Access to System Apps like Office Mobile. So if you've given Root Access to Word, you can tap txt-files in any location to open them with Word. The new version will also allow you to give Root Access to Homebrew Native executables. The file-explorer shows whether an executable is "Installed" or "Not installed". If you tap (or tap-and-hold) on an executable that is not yet installed, you can choose to unlock the executable, give Root Access and launch it.
The new version also has Advanced Search functionality.
Certificate Installer
You might wonder why I created a certificate installer, because it is already possible to add certificates. When you email a certificate to yourself and tap that attachment, WP7 will install it. But if you install like this, the certificate will always be installed in the "Root" certificate store. With my certificate installer you can also install in "CA", "My" and "Code Integrity" stores. This may be very useful for hacking attempts. You can install a certificate by browsing to the ".cer" file and tap it. The possibilities for getting a certificate file on your phone will follow below. If you start installing certificates on your phone you should consider making backups in advance. I once experienced Zune going totally bezerk after installing certs. Zune took 100% and lost connection with the phone all the time. Everything was back to normal when I deleted the certs. In this version there is no view on the certificate stores available yet. In a future version you will be able to view the contents of all the certificate store and also uninstall certificates from there.
Certificate Store
You can browse the 4 certificate stores. Tap-and-hold will show a context-menu. You can delete certificates or save them as a .cer file. Be aware that if you delete a certificate you can do severe damage to the system. So, be careful with that!
Policy Editor
The Policy Editor will show a list of all the installed apps. You can use the Policy Editor to give other homebrew app a "trusted" status. With this you will give the app Root Access privileges. So be very careful to which app you give Root Access!! You are responsible for giving access to an app! If you are not sure, read the forums to decide if an app is trust-worthy. The new version will also show System Apps. This is done because for devices that make use of Policy Unlock, it is useful to give Root Access to System apps sometimes. For example to open txt-files outside the My Documents folder.
It is also possible to launch apps from this list, by tapping on the app. But some apps will fail to start from here, because their default task is not configured correctly. This is not an issue in WP7 Root Tools, but those apps were simply not designed to be launched like this. They are listed anyway, because it could be useful to give Root Access to these apps.
Policy Unlock v2 also allows xap-packages with special configs to automatically give unlock Native Homebrew executables when the app is given Root Access. Read more in the "For developers" and "Desktop Sync" sections.
I've been working on unlocking Native Executables for a really long time now. Ever since I started this thread on XDA. I know it has been possible to run native executable using Full Unlock. But Full Unlock is only possible on WP7 devices with unlocked bootloaders. With the introduction of WP7 Root Tools Policy Unlock v2 also devices which have only Interop Unlock can now run these programs! But that was not the only goal. This unlock has become a prestige-project for me. Because I wanted to fully understand and control the WP7 Policy Engine. I now finally succeeded in doing this
So, is Policy Unlock v2 the same as Full Unlock?? No. But almost! Unfortunately, Policy Unlock still doesn't allow you to run Homebrew drivers, like the DFT Bluetooth stack. Later on I will try to apply the Policy Unlock hacks on the drivers too.
Tweaks
WP7 Root Tools adds a few Search-providers for Internet Explorer. You can choose it here. There are some more tweaks to customize your devices. From WP7 Root Tools 1.2 on, there are tweaks for unlocking Internet Sharing and for running Automatic Data Configuration. If your operator has blocked Internet Sharing, WP7 Root Tools can attempt to configure Internet Sharing and bypass the barrier that is installed on the phone. This probably won't work on LG devices, because their drivers don't support Internet Sharing. This unlock is only meant to unlock the operator barrier. Running Automatic Data Configuration can be useful when you switched 3G network and your phone has wrong settings for the data connection or the settings have become otherwise defective. If you have more ideas to add to this page, leave me a note.
Accent Color Editor
Add your own accent colors and select colors in real-time. Fully compatible with WP7.8.
Multi-language
The current version supports 18 languages: English, Dutch, Russian, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Hungarian, Czech, Spanish, Slovak, Polish, Italian, Greek, French. And these languages are available in separate downloads: Turkish, Arabic, Albanian and Serbian. The translations are done by volunteers and some elements by translation-engines. So the translations may not be perfect. Following versions will improve and add more translations.
For developers
I also created an SDK for developers, who can use to profit from Root Access. It provides a way to gain access to the filesystem and the registry (and more) from their managed Silverlight application. No need to worry about COM interop and C++ anymore! The package contains a read-me with short instructions. More details and examples will follow soon here on this site!
The new WP7 Root Tools has Policy Unlock v2 to unlock Homebrew Native Executables. You can do that using the WP7 Root Tools Explorer. But if a developers want to use such binaries in an app, it would be very user-unfriendly if the user needed to unlock these binaries manually. For this purpose I added functionality in the WP7 Root Tools Policy Editor. When an app is give Root Access, it will scan the app for a file called RootAccess.xml. If present, the xml is parsed and the binaries that are listed will automatically be given Root Access too. This is the format for RootAccess.xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RootAccess>
<Executable File="Native\NativeApp.exe" />
<Executable File="Native\NativeWinApp.exe" >
<Destination Path="\Windows\NativeWinApp.exe" />
</Executable>
<Library File="Native\NativeLib.dll" />
<Library File="Native\NativeWinLib.dll" >
<Destination Path="\Windows\NativeWinLib.dll" />
</Library>
</RootAccesss>
Take these notes into account:
The Destination paths are optional
Libraries are signed in Source and Destination
Executables are signed in Source and Destination
Executable gets policies in Source and Destination
File-path-attribute-value is relative to app path
Destination path is absolute
The first app that makes use of this feature is Ultrashot's WMDC Launcher, which can be used for Desktop Sync, as described in the next section. Ultrashot will soon make Opera Mini compatible with Policy Unlock too.
Desktop Sync
Ultrashot has released WMDC Launcher some time ago. Back then it was only possible to use that on devices with Full Unlock. With the introduction of Policy Unlock v2, it is also possible to run the app on devices that are compatible with WP7 Root Tools. Ultrashot has added RootAccess.xml to the xap-package, so the app will automatically be configured when it is given Root Access. Warning: it may take a while to apply on all unlocks, so be patient and let WP7 Root Tools do its job.
After WMDC Launcher is installed, given Root Access and lauched, you can use it to sync file-system and registry with your PC. On the PC you need to have Zune installed and running, and you need to have Windows Mobile Device Center installed and running. After that you Windows Phone will show up as Mobile Device in Windows Explorer.
For unrestricted remote Registry editing you can use Registry Workshop, or similar. In the registry editor you have to connect to the Mobile Device.
Thanks!

I have a question - can I add my cert to store (authority store, though I don't know which) in order to acquire ability to install self-signed cabs? My LG Panther has locked bootloader, so it looks like the only way to update at least to 7004.

Nope, not quite, I am not best to describe the full problem but essentially there's another certstore stored on the device, when phone boots in to update mode it uses that cert store located in the ROM

I have a question - can I add my cert to store (authority store, though I don't know which) in order to acquire ability to install self-signed cabs? My LG Panther has locked bootloader, so it looks like the only way to update at least to 7004.

The answer is: I'm not sure. It is not possible to add certs to a store for updating. But it might be possible to change the file which keeps the certs for cab updating. It needs more research. Some of this has already been discussed here.

I considered implementing that. But I think it is dangerous. If there will ever become some type of malware on WP7, you would be very vulnerable. So I decided not to implement such option.

Does registry expolorer keeps last opened location after restart or reopen cos only File explorer can do this so far?
How to unlock the native code?

A bug or a normal behavior?
First of all, i would like to really thanks you for this great tool. I would like to just ask some questions:-
I updated my wp7root tool 0.11 using XapHandler, and Everything went ok. After that i needed to open the Office hub but to my surprise it didn't work. I did a soft-reset just to find out that my start screen is Black . To be honest i got panicked though i have an update that i can reinstall. After few mins digging i found out that certain feature in the phone a still working (like search, voice commands etc.) I used the voice command and opened Wp7root Tools 0.12 and went through Policies just to find out that almost every System Apps were untrusted including Start App. When i trusted Start App i got my Start Screen back .
My questions are:-
1. is this (the untrusted start app) a bug?
2. Is it intentional that all the System App to be untrusted? if not
3. Do you have a list of System Apps that were trusted Originally?
Hope you have answers to those q.
Thanks

Dunno which registry editor you've been using. But my registry-editor does remember its last location.

Ultrashot is working on that. It needs a little bit of tweaking to be compatible with Policy Unlock.

Ok. That's remarkable. I have no clear answer. Can you tell me which device and which ROM (stock, custom, ..) you use and which OS version and which OEM firmware?
It sounds to me that this is some form of Inception between Full Unlock and Policy Unlock (that should normally work, but I can't possibly test all different devices and unlock at forehand).
Normally only very few system apps are defined to have Root Access. And "Start" is NOT one of them. I don't have a cleanly installed device to check which apps should have Root Access, but there are really only a few. I don't understand why the Startmenu would need Root Access in your case. And it is not a bug that "Startmenu" is not having Root Access. It actually surprises me that you could fix it this way.

Just to be clear: You do NOT have a problem with missing Startmenu, right?
Because most system apps should NOT have Root Access. If your system apps do NOT have Root Access, but everything works fine, then there is NO problem!

Hm. The fact that you have a stock ROM makes this only more weird. I still can't think of a possible explanation.
Did you toggle Root Access for system apps before the problem occurred? Any other remarkable things you've done with your phone that may explain this?
Did you use earlier versions of WP7 Root Tools without problems?
Sry,yes i ahve absolutely no problems,everything works fine,i was only not sure if the systemapps must have no permissions

Hi again!
No i didn't toggle it Before the problem. I just installed it then when i tried office, it didn't work and then i found out about the problem. And to be honest i really didn't do anythink remarkable either. My privous experiance with WP7Root Tools and really good, didn't have any problem Before.
Please check your PM i sent you a link to the video clip i did about the problem. OBS!!! No sound

Awesome and great job.... Your hard work is very much appreciated!!
WP7 Root Tools v 0.12 alpha updated just fine and is functioning perfectly on my HD7 running Deepshining 7.8.
Thank you!
