hey Guys, i think you guys have done an amazing job creating WM5 for BlueAngel - my special thanks to Mamaich.
i have one issue - if anyone can help:
i have a little over 500 contacts in my Qtek 9090 - and i have been trying to delete ALL - but there is no option to do that - what do i do and how can i delelte them all?
i even tried taking the battery out - draining the backup battery - but NOTHING - they are still there!!
you see i was a JAM user and then i wanted WM5 - so i bought a used Qtek9090 [totally rundown] - and tried it with WM5 - which WORKED AMAZINGLY WELL!!!! - so now i went out and bought a NEW Imate PDA2K.
but i cant sell off the Qtek till i get rid of all my contacts in it.
can anyone help please? my email is: [email protected]
Using the soft keyboard, do Ctrl-A; that should select all the contacts. Then use the menu to delete. I've done this in WM2003; should work just as well in WM5 since Ctrl-A has been the select all code going back to at least Windows 3.1.
Unfortunatley that doesn't work under WM5.0.
Unfortunately that doesn't work under WM5.0.
But there is an easy way of deleting all the contacts at once. But this method will also get rid of all you appointments too, so consider yourself warned.
Just place your device on the cradle and then explore the device through ActiveSync's File Explorer.
Navigate to the root by clicking on 'My Windows Mobile-Based Device' and locate a file called pim.vol and rename it to whatever name and soft-reset the device and that's it.
Once you boot the device, the System will create a new empty pim.vol file and now you can backup the old file to your computer for safe keeping. That's your PIM backup that you can use on other WM5.0 devices if you want.
Regards,
Rayan
hey thanx man - i will just now try and let you know if it works for me.
it worked!!!
hey thank you soo much - worked like a charm - FINALLY deleted all the contacts.!!
theres one more issue: the emails i had created to check the outlook - i deleted them fine. they arent there any longer. BUT..... my today screen is still showing them and the number of un-read mails. when i click on them nothing happens or look for them thru outlook on the Pocket PC - but they arent there! - how do i get ride of this?
any suggestions?
Also the text msgs arent deleting - i have cleared the inbox - 3 times and very time i reboot - they come back - WHY?
Hello all. I purchased my Tilt about 3 weeks ago from an ATT store. It was running a little sluggish so i wanted to re flash the ROM. I have done this on many other Phones with great success. I used Duty's new version 7 and liked it very much. My problem is that after running it for about 1 day my touch screen stopped working. I have hard reset it and even flashed it with new and default Roms but when it starts and goes to do the setup i cant click the screen to do the setup. The phone is working behind the setup screen , I have answered phone calls. Is there any way i can bypass that part of the setup so i can restore my Tilt to its original form so i can return it ? I guess i would need a ROM for the tilt that didn't have that specific part in the setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been reading the forums here for the past 4 days and cant find the answer anywhere else so i made this post. I want to run Kaiser sspl from my phone but cant get to it with that screen in front. Thanks in advance
Please read follow up
OK this is an update on my situation . I actually got pocket controller pro installed on my computer and on my Tilt so i can now access my devices registry , startup folders etc... Does anyone know what the process is or maybe a registry key that i can change in the start up that will stop that part of the setup from running ? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
there is an app some place on this forum that does just what you need just never used it so I don't know what its called so do some searching on the forum and you will probably find it
Thanks for the response. Do you mean it will bypass the touchscreen alignment screen ? or i can run a program from my PC as if it were on my PCP?
By the way awesome stuff at your site

You can activesync right? If you can... Try this:
http://www.mtux.com/
Allows you to control the mobile's screen from pc.
Thanks for the reply
The problem is that even when accessing the ppc from a program on my computer i still cant get past the Align screen.
If can can access the /windows directory with activesync, delete the 'Welcome' shortcut in the /startup folder. That should stop the screen alginment program.
Edit:
Another (possibly easier) way to do this is to put an empty file (create with a text editor) called 'Welcome.not' in the root directory of a card in the MicroSD slot.
Another suggestion - though not tried by me on the Kaiser. Works for Hermes:
Remote ScreenAlignment User's Guide
Copyright © 2007, Code Factory, S.L.
Introduction
Screen alignment is part of the boot process of the Windows CE device, and is only necessary the first time the device is booted, or after a hard reset. Since Mobile Speak Pocket works on mainstream hardware and does not involve any specialized firmware changes, the screen alignment process cannot be completely bypassed.
However, we understand that the screen alignment process can be difficult for most users as it requires sighted assistance. In order to overcome this limitation, therefore, we have developed the Remote Screen Alignment application.
The Remote Screen Alignment Application runs on your desktop computer and retrieves the alignment information from the device. It then stores the information in a file on your computer. As long as you have this file, you will never need sighted assistance to align the screen no matter how many times you hard format the device.
We have included screen alignment information for certain devices in this application, so users of such devices can immediately use the program for its intended purpose. However, users of devices for which alignment information is not yet available in the application will have to get the screen aligned manually the first time. Once this is done, the user may retrieve the alignment information from the device and use it whenever the device needs to be formatted and its screen aligned again.
The Screen Alignment Process
When the device is turned on for the first time or a hard reset is performed, the "Setup your Pocket PC" wizard is displayed. You will hear an audio indication that the wizard has come up on the screen. This wizard is a set of screens that help the user align the device screen, testing the touch screen functionality, and setting the time zone for the user's region. The screen alignment process involves following displayed instructions to tap a target location which differs on every screen of the wizard.
Installing the Remote Screen Alignment Application
1.
Download the Remote Screen Alignment application installer from the Mobile Speak Pocket Downloads page.
2.
Run the Remote Screen Alignment installer file from where you have saved it in your computer.
3.
Select the installer language you wish to use, then activate the OK button.
4.
The next screen displays the License Agreement for this application. Press the "I agree" button when you are ready to proceed.
5.
The program to be installed is checked by default in the next screen. You can just activate the Next button.
6.
You may change the program folder for this application, but by default, C:\Program Files\Code Factory\Remote Screen Alignment is selected. Use the Browse button to choose another location, or press the Install button to accept the default and continue with installation.
7.
The application is then installed and if there were no problems with installing, focus will be on the Close button of a screen informing you that installation was successful. Press Enter here to exit the screen.
Using the Remote Screen Alignment Application
Following the successful installation of the Remote Screen Alignment application, you will find shortcuts in Start Menu > All Programs > Code Factory > Remote Screen Alignment for opening the Code Factory Downloads page, running the Remote Screen Alignment application, and uninstalling the program.
When you start the Remote Screen Alignment program, you will find four buttons with focus on the first one:
· OK button - is pressed to close the application. Tapping the Escape key or pressing Alt+F4 will achieve the same result.
· Skip button - is used to align the screen of your device remotely from your computer.
· Retrieve button - allows you to get the screen alignment information from your device, given that it is already properly aligned, and to store it in a file that you can use later to align your device screen after a hard reset.
· Alignment button - runs the normal screen alignment process and store the alignment information on your computer. You will need to manually align the screen if you select this option.
Aligning Your Device Screen Remotely from Your Computer
To find out if screen alignment information for your device model is already available upon installation of the Remote Screen Alignment application, follow these steps:
1.
Establish an ActiveSync partnership (standard or guest) between your computer and Pocket PC device. For instructions on how to set up a partnership, refer to the Mobile Speak Pocket Users Manual or ActiveSync Help.
2.
Run the Remote Screen Alignment application on your computer.
3.
Tab to the Skip button and press Enter. If the file containing the appropriate screen alignment information exists, then the message "Please wait while your device is being configured" is displayed, shortly followed by the message "The operation has been completed successfully. Your device will be restarted."
4.
Press Enter on the OK button already in focus and your device should restart.
5.
On your computer, you are returned to the Skip button and you may Shift+tab back to the OK button and activate it to close the application.
Note that the same steps are performed in order to align your device screen after every hard reset, if the screen alignment information is already stored in your device, whether or not you had to retrieve that information manually or was already included in the Remote Screen Alignment program.
However, if the screen alignment information for your device is not yet available, then activating the Skip button yields the message "No screen alignment information can be found for your device. The screen alignment will need to be done manually. Would you like to skip the welcome screen anyway?". It is suggested that you activate the No button in this screen, and ask a sighted person to align the screen for you.
Retrieving Screen Alignment Information
If you have already aligned the screen of your device, you need to retrieve the screen alignment information from the device. Follow these steps to do so:
1.
Make sure there is an existing ActiveSync partnership between your computer and Pocket PC device.
2.
Run the Remote Screen Alignment application on your computer.
3.
Press Tab to go to the Retrieve button and hit Enter.
4.
If the information was retrieved successfully, the message "The screen alignment information has been successfully stored" will be displayed and you can press the OK button at that screen to close it.
5.
Exit the application by activating the OK button.
The screen alignment information is stored in a file on your computer. This file is named according to your device model with a .dat extension. It can be found in C:\Program Files\Code Factory\Remote Screen Alignment, or in the program folder you selected during installation of the application.
You should ensure that the file for your device is not deleted or misplaced. You will not be able to align the screen without sighted help if you do not have this file in the future. Moreover, if the screen alignment information for your device was not included in the application files, we ask that you email it as an attachment to [email protected] so that we can add it to the next version of the Remote Screen Alignment program.

Thanks for all the Help!
rob.ocelot You Rule Brother! That was soooo easy ...I put it on the card an it worked ! Awesome !
I'm fixing it as i type this . Thanks again
On a side note, I called ATT support today and explained what was happening and he said that they would send a new phone out right away and will have it in 2 days. Than within 14 days i send the old one back to them. All in all a good experience with them so far.
Had to come and Edit my post here. After using your tip on putting that file on my card and rebooting i was able to run the software to restore my Tilt and is now 100% Restored to original ! The Guides from the people on this site are top notch and Thanks to you all ! Problem Solved and New Tilt on the way !
Remote Screen Alignment may not work on 6.5
Had a similar problem, though was on WinMo 6.5 (Anryl's 21725).
Unfortunately, this solution does not seem to work on 6.5- everytime the Remote Screen Alignment (RSA) executed successfully, and the phone restarted, but went back to the "Tap to setup device" screen.
Went back to stock HTC 6.1 ROM, and the RSA works fine.
Did not see this post in time to try the welcome.not tip on 6.5- will try that out once my phone is repaired!
You might try one of Abusalza's Ultimate X2 ROMs. I don't believe they want you to align the screen when you hard reset.
Dave
Thanks!
Thanks for the heads up, Dave.
Am trying one of his ROMs now, and you're right, they don't default to the "Tap..." screen.
Feels nice to be back with touching the screen again (my phone is back from repair)... When the touchscreen was dead that I really understood the versatility of the Kaiser, and most of the programs in it... I could get by most of my day by using various hardware keys!
Cheers!
I just bought a Touch Diamond -very nice phone with a couple exceptions.
Touchflo 3d is nice but Im finding it doesnt have much depth - it needs more functions. And the loudspeaker is not very good - not loud, not clear.
Anyways, its my first windows mobile phone and had a couple questions about what WM6.1 can do. Im using Vista btw.
1. Email - Im downloading ALL my email and its fairly big. Can I force it to save only to internal storage?
2. Music - How do you get the album photo to come up while playing through Touchflo music - the picture does come up if i just play in windows media player.
3. Is it possible to add/remove multiple contacts from the People Menu ie Favourite contact
4. Most important - connectivity. Is it possible to access the phone wirelessly from PC via router? The phone connects to the router wirelessly fine and I can use the internet. But what I want to be able to do is either access the internal storage or sync up with outlook without using the usb cable.
5. What kind of BASIC phone functions does it have?
Eg. Call timer during call
Stop it going to that call history page after a call - i want it to go straight back to home.
Theres more functions it seems to be missing....
6. How do you make it so it FULLY shuts down a program when u hit the top right close button? I dont want to have to keep re-hitting the top right button to open task manager and full close it that way.
7. Lastly, is there any secret tips that a newbie wouldnt know about eg. codes to get to secret menus etc?
1. I don't think so, but I don't download email, so somebody who does may be able to help.
2. Strange problem, probably to do with the version of ID3 tags each uses. But again I have no idea how to solve it
3. No idea with no device in hand
4. Microsoft, being twats, reoved sync via Wi-Fi with the upgrade to WM2003. So, sorry mate, no way that I know
5. My dialer on my other PPC has call timer I think, but the diamond's may not, a new dialer with it included may solve the problem.
Other stuff missing?
6. Get a proper x button, like WKTask, or Wisbar, or something similar. Its also probably possible to change the settings to make it close by tapping X. I also think that with the HTC program, you can close by tap and hold, or, from today, click where the x should be, and a menu comes up enabling you to close them individually.
7. Secret codes? Not that I know of.
Hope the small things I have known here do help
Rory
Yeah, 6 is definitely something that can be done in the standard Windows Mobile settings (unless they've removed the setting in 6.1, in which case a registry edit might do it).
I guess when the phone has been out for a while, a lot of registry tweaks and utils will show up around here to adress all kinds of small and big issues.
i was gona go for a diamond but look at htc touch pro. everything diamond plus hardware keyboard and memory expansion slot (minus front camera).
Found how to fully close the progam in one go - went to task manager - button - and chose "End Programs by tapping X"
Under this option is "End programs by tapping and holding X" which is the default.
I tried it and it does work but I dont like it. Coz u cant really tell how long to hold it. If u keep holding, the program actually just stays open until u release. And I guess if u release too early it wont fully close.
Anyways - thats not a huge issue - wireless sync is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone found a way to get around it?
Best you can do with WIFI is put the UNC name of your pc into the browser and bring up the shares.
If you want to sync wirelessly, you'll have to do it via bluetooth. You should be able to get a bluetooth dongle for your pc for about 20 bucks though.
OH YEAH!!!!!!!! Going through Opera to browse my PC directory - You little beauty!!!
Now, how do I set up a name for the diamond so I can see it on my PC. Is there a setting you have to enable? I browse for "PCs" and it doesnt find the diamond - just my other PCs
Hi. Could anyone explain to me the basic functions of this program? I mean:
- hot start
- warm start
- cold start
- clear memory
- navi. init.
- development data off/on
- log gps output messages
What's the difference between those 3 "starts" (hot, warm, cold), when to use them and what do every one of those options?
Sorry for my english
Try searching either in this forum or in Google before asking.
Here u go.......
http://www.hacking-gps.com/gps-notes/archives/2005/11/whats_the_diffe.php
I tried to get into hacking-gps.com with the provided link and it wants a username and password. How can i get regestered to get in there? is there another place toget the same information?
Ok just cooked this up over the weekend .. still needs a little tweaking and testing - is the first ROM that I have released - I think it is kinda clean
Feedback is much appriciated (as always) ... and let me know if you find any bugs
BTW I read somewhere that it is possible to increase SnapVue's RAM to 64 MBs - sounds like a load of * to me ... but let me know if you know how to do this as it is really SnapVue's downfall IMHO
... I will also post some screen shots when I get the chance (is kinda late here atm)

The link is attached in the text document so I can see how many ppl download it
Note: you can free up alot of space by removing MS Voice Command from the cook - and save about 4 MBs of RAM by disabling it - It is important for me to be able to 'hear' my emails come in while I am at work though so this has been put in
However the overall stability of the ROM has been sacrificed in doing so -
To disable: Start > Settings > Voice Command > Uncheck Enabled
WARNING - IF PROGRAMS CLOSE UNEXPECTEDLY: This is because your low on RAM - you can stop the Voice Commander service as stated above, or download advanced config and prevent HTC Task Manager from closing apps automatically when low on RAM

Common Questions
OK thought I'd put together a list of common questions that people have with this ROM to stop me answering the same questions again and again.
Q: What else is included in the Flash
A: Besides the OS the ROM includes Hard SPL and Radio 1.27.35.28
Q: Can I run this ROM on
A: Besides the OS the ROM includes Hard SPL and Radio 1.27.35.28
Q: How do I install this ROM?
A: Well if you have used custom ROMs in the Past you can just download and run the EXE - else you will have to "Liberate" your shift - connect it to your Vista side with USB Tools and then run the EXE
Q: How do I disable T9
A: Open the input options for the Full QWERTY Keyboard - Click T9 Settings then un-check all the checkboxes
Q: The WM side turns off and will not come back on
A: If this happens to you go to ( on the WM side) Settings > Connections > USB to PC application and tick "Enable Advanced Network Functionality" (thanks nbos04)
A2: You can also disable (Under Settings>Power>Advanced) the option to turn off the device when it is not used for X.
Q: Programs keep closing unexpectedly
A: You may be low on RAM - if this is the case you may want to kill the Voice Command Service, as this takes up to 4MBs of RAM constantly
Q: How can I change the Keyboard Language?
A: The registry setting for the keyboard layout is as follows HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CurLang; The complete list of values to enter can be found here; however not all are fully compatible with the Windows Mobile platform; also changing these key mappings will not change the large on screen keyboard - to change the on screen one you will need to either edit the eT9.Raphael.0409.kmap.txt file (advanced but allows for custom layouts); or download another layout from here.
I will consider including the additional on screen keyboard languages in future releases.
Q: How do I set the data connection on the W/M side to auto - disconnect as it drains the battery too quickly?
A: The registry setting for the to auto disconnect the data connection is at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings. In there you have the setting CacheTime this is the number of seconds that will elapse before auto disconnection the data connection when not in use; change this as appropriate. You will also need to turn on the auto disconnection by editing the SuspendResume to read: GPRS_bye_if_device_off
(Note: if the auto disconnection still does not work make sure that you are not constantly connected to data - ie. Exchange server set to receive items as they arrive)
*Reserved 3*
Congrats on your rom. Looks heavy.
There is no way to get 64 mb of ram as this is the current chipset capacity, without OS loaded.
44Mb is my maximum storage available (with a functionning system of course)
I'm waiting for the new base with phone to work from there.

Yea like I said it sounded like a load of * -ahh well - plan to re-release this ROM when the phone is hacked too!
I love this sort of ROM - stuffed full of goodies. It's like a Christmas treat.
I've installed the ROM just now and it's exactly how I would want the WM side to be. Thanks for setting up Opera for us layabouts that can't be bothered to
I have syncd the ROM with my huge Outlook file and it works great.
Will give you more feedback as I play.
Latest:
I'm very happy with Opera.
Haven't worked out how to disable T9 yet to set up email etc.
I can't install youtubeplay I'm getting an error. Anyone know how to get it working on this ROM?
Very Latest: I found the option to disable T9 under the keyboard options. I love the new large on-screen keypad!
I prefer the fancy calculator of Gullum's ROM IMHO.

I will install the calc skin from my touch pro and see how that runs - also will rip some more "unnecessary" stuff out such as bluetooth since it doesn't work anyway and will hopefully free up some memory too
As for you tube you could download the diamond/touch pro version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395338
don't know if it works but judging by my touch pro the interface only works in Portrait (it may still work but will load in portrait)
as for the calc skin i have attached it to this post with a screen shot
will also post a newer version of my ROM, later tonight, that has ~22.5 MBs of free space (and 27.95 total user area) after boot and ~16 MBs of free ram ... seems to be more stable also
may embed the calc skin into later builds ... but it's a little big for my tastes for something i don't use
Thanks i00.
I agree that the default calculator is best now that I have seen the memory requirements of the fancy calculator skin.
Thanks for the youtubeplayer link. I haven't tried it yet but will do so this evening.
I'm having a bizzare problem setting up my email accounts for some reason. It is tricky entering my username and password, and when I try to auto detect the account configuration it says it cannot connect. When I go BACK, the password field contains more characters than I originally entered. I haven't tried manually setting up the full account yet, but this behaviour I haven't seen before.
I haven't worked out how to get the voice control goodies working yet but I'll enjoying tryin all of that out this week. I wouldn't miss voice control at all on your next ROM release however.
Edited:
Comm Manager under SnapVue Settings seems to run without displaying anything. I hope that can be fixed...
Looking forward to your next ROM release. Hope it is soon... your's is the best ROM yet IMHO.
Thanks again.
Updated.
Have been using the new ROM and am happy to report that it is notably more responsive and faster.
I was delighted to find screen orientation option for portrait under settings, so thanks for that. Although I did manage lose the start menu at some point so I was stuck on the Snapvue page and was forced to reboot from Vista. I'll let you know the details if I repeat it.
The modem is totally stable, which is great. I didn't manage to work out how to install youtubeplay but it's no showstopper, I'm very please with the ROM. I installed fexploreext which is small but infinitely useful.
Ta.
Will try to post a new release before Wed next week ... any suggestions for the new release? - I am considering taking out Opera Full and loading Opera mini instead as it requires less RAM.
Am also making a registry editor that I plan to include in the next release.
Let me know if you (anyone) has any requests.

hmmmm, any chance to have some kind of manila 2D on it?

Hi everyone,
I'd really like to test this ROM but each time I launch le Custom RUU with this ROM, it ends uo with an "ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR"
Is there a special thing to do to use this ROM ?

Have you installed a custom rom onto your device before?
You need to Hard SPL on it prior to trying to flash this ROM
The error codes are listed here:
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/windows-mobile-faq/13329-ruu-errors.html
This page states
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.
Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.
Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.
I would try again and if that doesn't work
Download another RUU
I think that's my problem : I've only liberated the ROM shipped with my Shift.
I found the thread with Hard SPL... I've install it... Now's the ROM turn !
Thanks for the help !

So did the ROM flash since u Hard SPLed? - and let me know what u think.
Also nice dog btw
going to try it
I have tried thai hugos and gullims and been disappointed with various things so i'm goign to try yours. I was intending to try to install my tiny kensington mouse which is bluetooth and worked with my advantage but if you've ripped BT out I can't is there a way to put it back in?
Thw worst thing i found about the other rom's is the fact stoopid usb tool never stays connected, anyone else have that issue?
edit: found some stuff about usb tool issues on the forum and trying those.

Yes, the "flashing process" worked perfectly... but I was a bit disappointed with the fact that the ActiveSync process was unable to complete the update of my 325 contacts : it always failed after 116 contacs updated...
So I tried a french ROM (the "French light GPS" one) and it worked...
Maybe a language issue...
If you want me to go back to your ROM and work together to sort this out, I'd be pleased to help...
