So i backed up all the files in windows startup. Some i knew what they were and some i had no idea like:
-autoshortcut
-htcstartup
-poutlook.
The rest i knew like s2u2 etc..
So i erased them all and restarted kicks a** diamond. Shaves 3 seconds of boot up before i erased. Ver Nice.
And the best part of it all is that the memory shows a solid 60%.
If any of you noticed i belive 60% is the magic number, when the diamond runs on 60% it just feels powerful and quick.
Greetings boys. Hope it helps. Disable all your startups.
So you disabled even TF 3D?

That should improve startup time by quite a bit
No Touch flow is still there I mean it still boots on start.
I like touch flow.
After doing it only 1 % more memory free. Suspect this 1 % is not even for the erase but due to the soft reseting.
So no big improvement at all?

Trust me there is an improvement if your startup file is empty. You shall feel it.

I have these in my startup also and noticed them the other day when perusing. However, I would really like to know what they do before disabling (i.e. moving) them. Will I lose some of the device functionality when doing this?
I don't use TF3D by the way but do rely on email which is received via Synchrologic from Notes - obviously, poutlook seems suspiciously like an email "thing").

Gary.

Yep i think U right just save them and experiment.

Hi all,
It would be nice to use the gsen of the diamond as a game controller for custom made games on the pc(like the wii).
Is this possible

interesting idea

No I don't think it would be easy...
that's why I ask it the pro's!!!
nice idea. Bluetooth connection to the PC?
lol... just the idea of pairing a device on Bluetooth with Windows...
Can't imagine the phone side to be too hard - my first shot would probably be WLAN since that's the easiest way to get some connection working. Once you have that simply passing gsen / dpad / buttons (maybe even touchscreen input?) to the PC should be rather trivial.
The harder part is probably to write a gamepad driver for windows that interprets that input data and transforms it to DirectInput compliant information.
While I certainly know how to do the phone side - I am somewhat unsure about the PC side. The last time I did some driver coding is AGES away. I don't even know if opening a TCP/IP socket from inside a driver is possible/a good idea. Maybe one would need a daemon-like user space program to read the input from the network and feed it to the driver...
Would acualy ge a freaking awsome Ide toward an playstation 3.
And acualy a computer.

Geez I wish I had time to look into that - if their stuff was open source I am sure we could leverage about 90% of their XP driver implementation (which most likely they managed pretty well)...
do we need to remake drivers?
you can get Python (program used) for PocketPC, and it just bluetooth on to PC with NiiMe software....
testing now...
while they seem to use python on a S60 phone - this doesn't directly translate to doing the same thing on a WiMo diamond... The fact that they released their source under the GPL makes reusing their PC software a viable option though.
Speaking of GPL source - has anyone found their code available for download on their site?
Okay guys - you got me as far as installing a devel enviroment and writing a simple gsen SDK based test app now - if there's someone willing to spend some time on the PC DirectInput driver side I'm sure we can get somewhere with this...
This.Would.Be.Awesome. !!!!!!!
if this works, I gonna get a diamond other than orbit 2

Hey
I'm currently working on a little client-server (TCP/IP) thingie to at least get GSensor data from the Diamond to the PC - once that is done there's still the very ugly part of writing a DirectInput driver that acts like a gamepad...
If anyone wants to take over the driver-writing part things would progress much more quickly I guess
Sadly I don't have too much spare time at the moment to spend on the matter though.
Cheers,
Alex
a gsensor keyboard emulator could control for example
FLUX the game. (3d tube flying), by senden keystrokes
to windows` keyboardhandler
whoever does figure this out will be the man. when it does happen i just hope it will do the job for the cdma version coming to telus on or around august 6th
I have a .NET client/server pair running in an WiMo6 emulator now sending what could actually be GSen data at a fairly decent rate. Not considering the GSensor it's pretty much phone independent.
And if anyone tells me how to get rid of the files VS2k5 places on my Diamond for debugging the application I'll try the same thing with a real GSensor I am just tired of hard-resetting my Diamond in order to clean up the mess done by the development environment...
Cheers,
Alex
Edit: Okay, I tested it on my diamond by simply copying over the two required files (no debugging possible though) and transferring GSen data either via ActiveSync (say Bluetooth) or WLAN works nicely. But I'm afraid it's necessary to keep the device awake to avoid lags (does the diamond reduce CPU speed on standby?).
Hi,
I recently bought a program called mobiletide. It enables you to see what the tide is anywhere in the world. Great for watersport/sea fanatics! http://www.mobiletide.co.uk/
Does anyone use this? If so how on earth do I access the program?!? I have it installed but it does not work! This is the email sent from the company;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Will, you need to find the shortcut command keys with the handset (*) and
(#) on your keypad will action the same command as the conventional soft keys. it does take a bit of research but all the commands are there to navigate/select, etc.
Regards,
Dan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not much use/help! Any suggestions welcome!
Cheers in advance,
Will
look in the Program files folder (internal storage or device, depending on where it was installed to)
Hi,
i use the program cTide (http://airtaxi.net/ctide/) it's free and it works great.

I am confused - It installs it into the JBlend program. It runs on Java. Do you have it working on your device?
Will
oh right, sorry didnt realise it was Java!
no i dont use it
if you open Jblend, it should be there in the window that opens.
My guess is that William is asking how to use the program because Mobile Tide is expecting a normal mobile phone keypad and he hasn't got one so he can't issue any commands to the app
Am I right?
EDIT: @William, It looks like MT uses the D Pad for menu navigation and sets up on screen soft keys (I'd try it but there's no downloadable demo ), maybe you could describe what happens when you start the app.

Hi Will, I don't have GRemote but from the highlight on your Programs screen it looks like that was also running.
How about a soft reset and look for Mobile Tide again?
Go into to Programs>All Programs, find Mobile tide and run it again.

Hello everyone.
I sync my Outlook mail with my Diamond, and my company has recently enforced a new Activesync policy requiring the device to lock after a certain amout of time.
Unfortunately, the unlock screen of the HTC Diamond is a really sad affair. Are there any third party products which REPLACE this functionality (as opposed to sitting under it, such as S2U2 or Throttlelock)?
Alternatively, is there any way to disable this policy via the registry or other?
Thanks in advance!

Well, I would do completely without it if I could, but that would imply hacking the settings in the registry, and the only time I tried this I had to do a hard reset of the phone.
So I would be happy with some other mechanism to do the unlock, as I find that the HTC buttons are cumbersome and the app as a whole very un-responsive.
Being able to replace it - truly - with Throttlelock would be great... sigh...

I'm perplexed. What's stopping you from doing Start: Settings: Lock and turning off locking?

Again, confusion... Which app are you talking about? And what HTC "buttons". AFAICT the "buttons" are virtual or simply displayed on the screen. How is that "cumbersome".
S2U is like the iPhone lock. You simply drag the thing to unlock it. Have you tried it?

You could try TouchLockPro, because it is designed to not interfere with running programs.
i (not beeing the author of touchlockpro) would also recommend touchlockpro.
has also the best features-to-'weight' (KBs..) ratio i think. this tiny small application really makes a huge difference.

That is true. Microsoft has made it even more difficult for us to find working exploits in order to do things such as modify the registry and modify look & feel. It will be quite some time before real progress is made. I wouldn't expect for anything to happen soon, but please keep checking at these forums to see if anything has been done.

@snickler: stupid little question to that: shouldn't it be possible to edit the keys in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive?
as far as I know from Windows 7 and 8, editing this hive doesn't need administrative privileges. Am I wrong?

With WP8, policies are enforced to limit modification to just about ALL parts of the registry. With what I've seen, certain apps (Nokia apps for instance) have specific certificates installed that gives them a specific right to a registry key. Basically Microsoft really didn't want us touching ANYTHING.

another silly question is windows phone 8 ever gonna get hacked? I mean did you find anything so far? it seems that you cannot touch the registery in no way ... in other way you cannot send fake xml to phone that it can accepted as developers? (can't we make a fake webservice?!)
well then how can we access this?! did you get any attention for that? how long do you think it will take to get this windows hacked? (even an approximate time will do help much )
thanks
To be fair, that's the same as it was on WP7; apps couldn't even modify HKCU directly (short of being elevated by WP7 Root Tools). The early registry editors used high-privilege OEM drivers, not their own permissions. I'm hopeful there will be *something* we can tweak, but it won't be much until we find some EoP exploit.
EDIT: Asking "how long" is a ridiculous question. It's like asking how long until the current iOS version is jailbroken, or something like that. Nobody knows. Nobody can know. If we had the answers, it wouldn't be research. There could be a breakthrough this afternoon; hell, there could have been one last night. We could keep pounding on it for years. There's no point in even attempting a guess. This isn't something iterative, something where progress can be measured.
the fact that some of the guys have been able to find a way to read (but not write) to the registry is a start, but there's still a long ways to go. Considering Windows Phone 8 has been out since what, oct or nov of last year? There's even HeathCliff that has taken a glimpse in the .cabs. There's a way to run programs out of the sandbox, but even that is limited. Snickler wrote a registry reader, but doesn't allow editing of dword . And we've got GoodDayToDie's Webserver that *JUST* recieved the ability to read the registries, but its very picky. Slowly things are coming together and eventually with everyone looking, someone will stumble upon something. It's taken months to get this far.

All Windows Phone Comunity are trying to hack the OS, but for a lot of problems (secure boot, ecc), it's so hard.
Essentially the current roadblocks for flashing custom roms are Secure Boot and BitLocker, not to mention knowing how to write back to the new ROM files. For accessing internal apps and stuff, we are having trouble finding how to set/change permissions. There's a ton listed in the registry, but its not fun finding out the how atm.
