Extract App from WM6 Rom

Now that we have a WM6 Rom avaliable for the Wizard, does anyone know how to extract certain programs and replace them in the WM5 Roms??
Particularly the Email client and Remote Desktop
Now you may ask why the he!! don't you just use the WM6 Rom?
Because I am in a corporate environment where I use the program provided by the company to both sync and access my information (Lotus Notes) Intellisync and OneBridge and neither of those have support for the yet to be "Officially Released" WM6
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Well, bad and good news for you. First of all, what you are asking probably will not work. Good news is, you DONT NEED SUPPORT!~!! WM6 is STILL CE5, its just a minor upgrade (like windows 98 to windows98se). So.... most likely your programs will function perfectly. It is very rare when a wm5 program does not function in wm6 and useually those are system tweaking programs. I would make a complete backup of your device and try wm6.... you might be pleasantly surprised.

But moving apps from Crossbow/WinMob 6/5.2 to WinMob 5 isn't as easy and depends on how they were compiled. Most MS stuff won't work without modification I think.

Any reccomendations for a new user?

As title really , i've had a WM2003 based PDA before and a couple of S60 mobiles in the past.
But this is my first PDA/Phone device.
I have the O2 version of the TYTN2 (XDA Stellar)
Can anyone reccomend me any essentials I should be looking at getting.
Looking for a decent web browser and any other Utilizes that are recommended
Also is there an easy way to switch between running apps without going back to the today screen first?

recommendation is to search + read the gweni

Hmm while its an interesting read most of it seems to be concerned around changing things in the Firmware/Rom.
There's a couple of useful things like a stopwatch/countdown timer listed but I didn't see anything that resembled a list of Recommended apps (ideally freeware)

I feel your pain. It's tough to find a list of recommended apps. I may actually put a list together this weekend. I got my Tilt about 2 weeks ago and I have my list of apps. Actually, I'll start:
Audio Player: HTC Audio Manager or Windows Media Player
Backup: Sprite Backup and PIM Backup
Calculator: I like the skin that comes with dutty's ROM
Camera: HTC Camera
Compression: PocketRAR or HTC ZIP
Config Tools: KaiserTweak and Schap's Advanced Config
Cube: Slither's Cube (I don't like the Cube much, but this one is pretty damn nice)
Dialer: DualTouch dialer
File Manager: Resco or Total Commander
IM: Palringo or IM+
Maps/GPS: Google Maps and/or Windows Live Search
Picture Album: HTC Album
Registry Editor: Regeditor
Screen Capture: pocket Screen
Start Menu Replacement: QuickMenu
Other:
HTC Action Screen
HTC Home
HTC Home Customizer (I like v1.0 and don't like v.1.05b)
HTC QuickGPS
HTC Comm Manager, 6 button, Schap's style
HTC SIM Manager
HTC Voice Recorder
HTC Field Status
Sipchange
Can't find a good one:
Battery monitor
Task manager
Media player (TCPMP is a popular one, but there are a lot of them)
Office - I keep using Pocket Outlook for Contacts, Email, Appointments, and all that other jazz. There are other apps out there like FingerFriendlyFriends but strangely I'm happy with Pocket Office.
Does this help?

Start with Kaiser tweaks. That will rid your phone of most annoyances. Read all info on Touch Flo, Touch Flo Cube, Htc Home Customizer. Read the Wiki here and on htcwiki.com. Everyone here needs different things from their phones. And different ways to access those things. Read read read, follow links. One search will take you to another search to another.
I got my Tilt in early Nov came accross this site shortly thereafter, read and listened and searched and did not have a need to ask a question until April, my first post. Lots of info here for the grasping. No offense to anyone here, but a list of all " apps " isn't necessarily a list of what you want or especially what you " need".

I'll add one more to this:
Voice Commands: Microsoft Voice Commander or Cyberon Voice Commander

To all ROM maker

Dear all,
I like all of your ROMs very much, but i found most of your ROMs didn't include the MS Office, or just include the MS Word and Excel only.
But we need the MS Powerpoint all the time and we have to install the full version MS Office again.
we have to reinstall the MS Office again and again if we found something is wrong with our units then have to do a hard reset.
So can you ROMs maker include the Powerpoint in the new ROMs you will make in the future?
many Thanks.

The powerpoint is avaliable seperately as a CAB somewhere in the forum, do a search and you will find it...no need of seperate thread

Hi Ather,
i am wondering what not include this useful program we use everyday in the ROM instead of some program sounds good but no so many people use?
by the way, i have tried many time to search a single powerpoint file in CAB format but no luck. i just only can find the full MS Office suit in CAB format.
can you advise a working link?
many thanks.

Hello if you look at C_Sheckar ROM it has separate .cab file.
Anyhow here it is [please see attached file]
You can also put only CAB file into your ExtROM and then each time you have to do it you can have it automatically.
Regards
J

thank you jay.

6.1 rom for xda ii backpack
is it possible to cook a 6.1 rom that supports the xda ii backpack?

Theseas I don't think this is the right place to ask this question (place means this thread because it has been already answered.)
Please either ask your question in another thread or create a new one to get a quick answer.
As far as your question is concern I am not sure if 6.1 can support xdaii backpack.
Many thanks

Got Kaiser...what do i do now....What programs do i need and where do i get them.

What programs do i need and where do i get them? how do i install?

Welcome aboard, first off do not flash any roms till you have read this two or three times, well worth it and will save you some headaches..
Next be care of asking random questions till you have spent some time reading.
Flashing your first Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835
Afterwards spent some time reading the various rom threads in the rom development forum....there are lots of very coool roms in there...something to fit everyone...welcome aboard and prepared to be addicted....

There are a variety of different apps that all have their own style. I suggest that you peruse this forum, http://www.modaco.com, and also the XDA wiki for the Kaiser/tilt. there are MANY great programs to be found. Just install the .cab files or install them through activesync.
My personal favorites are (in no particular order):
Opera Browser 9.5 Beta
Skyfire Browser
Google Maps
PocketCAS (computer algebra system that can solve non-numeric equations)
SmartGear(multi-emulator software, have to pay for it but it's the smallest and fastest and stablest of all I've tried.)
HTC Home (comes standard with HTC ROMS and the new AT&T 6.1 ROM)
Total Commander (file browser that can edit system files)
Advanced Config (allows you to tweak many different settings in the Kaiser)
S2U2 (locking program that emulates the iphone locker)
iContact (great contact list you can scroll with your finger.)
There is also a cab to install of Paul's Picks and Tweaks which is a really good way to get some good tweaks right off the bat.

Here is what is on my Tilt (right now). They all seem necessary ....to me.
You can find any of them by googleing them.

Useful Applications, Games, Task Managers, Calendars Needed

hi, I have an HTC Fuze and I'd like to add useful applications to it. What's a good task manager? Are there any free/fun games for the Fuze out there? What applications do you find useful?
I currently have TF3D, Diamond Tweak, HTorch 3.2 and Tipster.
I'm fairly new at WM 6.1 so any assistance would be appreciated.

Unfortunately my crystal ball is currently in repair, could you be a bit more specific?
You could start with reading, or use the search option.
(I don't know what you find useful or like so no suggestions)

I'd like to know what kind of applications people have on their devices. I suppose I'd Like a better task program, free games. I'm not sure which programs are useful, but could you tell me what programs you are currently running?

So far I have added Google Maps (great app for navigating and very accurate gps) and I am planning on MS Outlook for mobile as the phones built in mail program is having issues with government mail servers ( i cant send new mail).
I am also working on software to use gps to track my distance and time when I go running.

for podcasts and rss, viigo
i would recommend dashwire if you're into mobile backup and such
PANDORA free definitely (resolution is a bit funky)
tickertape for stocks
diamondcubes
pedometer on occasion
total commander for registry tweaks or just a far better alt. to file exp.
stopwatch
lightsaber
gyrator 2 for full acce. function.
lumos for better backlight manage
skyfire for faster browsing
weather database editor for more cities
herg62123 for different clocks, sliders, and a landscape tf3d
his slide to answer port from blackstone.
that's about all the helpful things i can think of. hope this helps.

Do you need GPS for google maps to use it? Where can I download google maps for my Fuze? It seems that my Fuze is a bit a sluggish, how can I up the speed for TF3D? I already have Diamond Tweak and TF 3d Config.

the best way to really wake up your Fuze is to flash with custom rom. Course HardSPL first.

How do you input your signature? What is a Hard SPL?

Dude I don't mean to be rude but you really need to search. Alot of the answers you're after can be found in the wiki or the sticky threads at the top of the forums.
This is one of the best forums around with some of the most helpfull members, but with questions like this and members who refuse to search people wont stay nice for long.

Here you go http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=site%3Aforum.xda-developers.com+raphael+hardspl. Look at the first link. You input your signature using the UserCP on the left hand side of the brown bar at the top. and as for games and such, several people have Links to 4shared accounts in their signatures. Feel free to browse, download, and experiment.

You can use NoniGPS Plot for this, it will automatically put it into a KML file for insertion to Googleearth or googlemaps. Give it a try might give you some ideas for new addons, also i'd love to see your gps software when finished GL!
As far as this post goes programs i find useful are, notepad , I don't use a lot of apps excep imap pusher service, and also for games i really enjoy G-Invaders. Manila customizer is a good one for customizing your touch flow 3D. Also Pandora, is an amazing music streaming software even over edge network it works quite well. I use that on my decomissioned kaiser, over WiFi.
Hope that helps!
