Backlight app!
Hey man... Can you make a program for a backlight? Like dimming if your not using ur device for a second. Like in nokia phones. I just don't like suspending the device automatically because sometimes data transferring using bluetooth stops when the device suspended. I attempt to program it but it seems that I have to download megs of software which my PC can't handle bcoz I don't have enough space.

llolz lolz... i havent even started developing my first application and i'm getting a request
I will try to do my best

To make your BA compatable with Vista download Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update from offsite.Choose the package?depending what OS you running - x86 or x64! And you will be able to sync all your contacts,data,programs...
Windows Mobile Device Center replaced Activesync in Vista.
I had the same problem, with the orginal Windows Mobil Device Manager which you get with vista you can only sync files, but nothing else.
You have to download Mobil Device Manager Beta 3, after installing this one you can make a full sync with your pda.

i did just that..but as soon as i plug in my BA sync center makes an error nd i get the close or debug window...whatever i do..it remains open nd u can browse and sync pictures but no contacts or installations...nd activesync on my BA wont connect..its always waiting for network!
if u use wm5 on your ba try this setting on your ba: start => settings => connections => usb to pc = and check "enabe advanced network functionaliity"

thanks guys the update worked a treat on my xda2`s with helmi upgrade
its already enabled....i've been tweaking with setting for a month now (i've had vista for 2 months) nd i cant get it to work :S
i think there's some service in vista thats disabled or something..i just cant figure it out...btw...i also have office 2007 (outlook) if that helps...if anyone knows of something else that can sync my contacts with outlook plz tell me.
btw..helmi...u took the data backup prog from ur latest rom..where can i get it from?
Hello, you are sure you have e release version of vista?, because i sync my pda every day with my computer with the things i told here, you can try die delete the device from devicemanager and let the system find it with the new drivers form the mobil device manager beta 3.
After i istall the MDM3 my system find a new deivce and install it.
Somting is wrong with your system.
I use outlook 2002 on vista, it's a little bit buggy ( every startup it want make a new profil), but i have not a newer one.
Greets MonsyX
yeah i have the pre-release final version..build 6000...but it seems that there's something buggy with the installation...i'm gonna reinstall windows nd see wat happens.
thx.
Theres no such thing as a pre-release final version!
You have the final version which was released 30th November 2006 to large companies, and to the general public on the 30th January 2007.
i have the final version...but i got it before nov30....which makes it pre-release...anyways its the same windows....the final build...nd thats not the point of my question!
anyone knows anything abt the backup program that used to come with helmi's rom?

just as a reminder, this tool will not let u restore the backup on different version of wm5.
say you backup on aku3.2, then u upgrade to aku3.5, the restore would not work.
ActiveSync is a better tool to backup contacts, calendar ......

OK i will say to everyone that official presentation of vista and office2007 is after few hours, so comments like i have vista from microsoft legally are just ridiculous, and the ridiculous part is not that someone have it, but that this someone do not know how to connect hes pocketpc to it. Only people that have vista before the official launch are large OEMs and Small group of beta testers which recieved thir copies as reward of beta testing. These are the two legal ways of having vista.
[/offtopic]
I got mine through the Beta program. It wasn't released on 30th November by the way, its original release was 8th November to MSDN subscribers.
/ontopic - I do however have a lot of problems with the Sync Center and my BA. I've not actually got it to sync properly yet on RTM.
Has anyone got any thoughts on the new system? Does the ActiveSync replacement:
1) allow more than one device to be connected?
2) avoid duplicate items?
Cheers!
Offtopic:
@Biohead: yeah i forgot about MSDN subscribers you are right, but I am mad about that everyone claims that they have licensed vista and they are not MVP's, MSDN Subscribers, Technical Beta Testers or OEM's, why they are trying to lie, i was in the beta test, i have tested every version provided on connect, and i have not recieved a copy of vista, maybe guys who provided more bugs had copys. whatever i will buy it maybe after SP1 because it really needs a lot of patching. Vista is not what it was promissed to be(look at longhorn demos a way back and you will understand what i mean)
Ontopic:
I have problems with it too, The first time it syncs fine, after that it does not work at all or crash upon connecting.The temporary Fifx for this is remove the WMDC and reinstall it. I think it is not BA specific issue it is all WM device specific one. How we can not have problems with activesync under XP?

i dont know how valid this is right now...since vista is already out...but here's proof that my version is genuine...
i could send u pics of the intallation cds if u want!
anyway...all i needed to know is whether the sync center was buggy or not...nd it seems that i'm not the only one with this problem....btw...a simple solution to this problem would be to install TinyXP on a Vmware workstation nd sync ur BA on that...its a hassle...but it works.
Remember, Sync Center IS STILL IN BETA!!!

WiFi remote

Hi
I'm looking for an app for my phone. The problem is that I want to be able to shutdown my computer (upstairs) from my sofa (downstairs) with my phone.
If the software makes it possible to change tracks in windows media player etc i'll be very happy.
Something like this?
Yes something like that. It says it's for Windows Mobile 5 so I will have to try it tonight. Anyone who knows if it works on wm 6.1?
This is what I whant
...but last time I tried it it was pretty unstable.
Anyone who had a successfull try?
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Communications/Compact-Remote-Control-6017.shtml
Haven't tried that particular one. But generally WM5 apps will work on WM6 and 6.1 (and probably 6.5 when it's released).
take a look at Salling Clicker. Nice all around utility, and many scripts available in their forums also script to remotely (wifi or bluetooth) control your pc

import remote tracker in rom

hi to all xda friendly users,
I am newbie with cooking but pretty familiar with wm phone.
I have a brand new reseted xperia with r2aaaa10
All I need is to install remote tracker and some how import it to my rom so as after a hard reset rt and its configuration remain to our phone and be able to track it.
I pretty sure this has been discussed before but i cant seek it.
Is there any friendly tutorial - program to do our job?
THX IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP
If I am not mistaken it is already in Windows; so is an application called Disconnect which is useful if you want to disconnect from EDGE or WIFI or whatever. I think you should explore your Windows folder well... Ooops, sorry I thought you had 4.5!! Why not get that? It's smashing!!

Windows XP on PDA =)

Hello i am new to posting on this site but a long time reader and i have a Xda mini S (wizard).
anyway
i have been looking around the internet because of a crazy idea in my mind.
The idea came to me yesterday after upgrading my rom to WM6.1 then to WM6.5
So am looking at WM6.5 and just am thinking wouldnt it be nice to have Windows Xp on my phone so can be like a portable laptop with calling and texting.
i saw some thing about it for a different pda i think
so was just wondering is it possible to upgrade the rom and install XP on a Xda Mini s.
Doesnt have to be like the Desktop version it can be a mini remake.
as long as its possible to flash it again afterwards if i change my mind about it.
Anyone have any ideas for me ?
An easy way to fix this is via citrix, or via vmware...
well you must be a retard to think xp run on wizard is no such thing runnning xp on a pda close thread please...
@HackWindows
Take a look at windows 98/XP on PDA!!!!!.

Maybe you should think outside the box a little before emphatically saying something isn't possible. Heck, 60 years ago noone thought it possible to carry around a phone withoutwires, or have a computer smaller than the size of a room.
hello,
i wanna say i had win 98.
but.... you have to change resolution with nyditot cause it isn't vga.
and on mine the mouse doesn't work.
just se this lik earlyer said http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362344
.
so goodluck i know it works cause i had it myself.
but as i said no mouse and slow.
just try it is great to see
also watch youtube there are movies about it.
Well, it is impossible to run Windows XP natively, because the architecture of the wizard(or any htc smartphone) differs from the pc architecture.
However, there are 2 ways to "run" xp on your wizard:
1) With an x86 emulator like bochs or qemu; you don't want that because it's even slow on a normal pc, and you still don't have sufficient RAM to run xp.
2) Run xp on a normal pc and use VNC or RDP to control it remotely(so you need a fast internet connection). I believe there an rdp app called "Terminal Services client" on a default wm installation, so I'd go for that one.
If you want to run windows to play games on your pda, I'd advice to forget it, vnc and rdp are not designed for such tasks...
Well, I dig this idea. any one with the know how should be able to port Tablet PC OS into an .nbf file with all the right drivers an stripped of all unnecessary junk ( a minimalist version) . If not a complete os than lookalike may be. May be i am dreaming big but someone should be able to help. I see ppl trying to port Linux/ android on wizard than why not XP?
The Omap processor (which is an ARM processor) isn't powerful enough to Emulate a x86 processor with acceptable speeds and memory to run XP on a wizard (even if XP has been stripped etc..).

1) Xperia is great in many ways, and you would be investing in something that can last for a long time. Right now, there are no serious draw back to it, at least Physical wise. Its been a long time since it's initial release date, so I would expect Ericsson to have tweaked the structure for its advantage. The best part about the xperia x1 is that its very compatible, and can withstand many different types of ROMS
2) In short, yes, but only through ROMS
3) ROMS are to Operating systems as Phones are to Computers; or its the operating system of the phone. Yes, the operating system gets changed when you flash a ROM to your device (Mobile 6.1 is boring anyways). There are a couple ways of doing this, which you shoudl read up on, but in general, you hardSPL your device from your computer using a program (which allows custom ROMS to be transformed to your device), and then use the computer to run a customRUU, in which the new custom ROM is then transferred to the device. There are other ways of doing this, but you can research that yourself.
4) I recommend either Phoenix 2 or valkyrie 6.0, which are custom ROMS with a ton of tweaks already preloaded in them. Go to the ROM threads for more info.
Thanx So Much For Ur reply,
so u r saying that i can have WinMo 6.5 without any mods or with mods?
is this process hard that i might kill the phone or something? if it is not easy like placing some files on the phone and enjoy, can i backup the whole thing so i can flash it back to the state which i bought it in? cause i'm new to the whole WinMo thing, also will it spoil the warranty? cause if so, i'll stick with mods on the normal WinMo 6.1 for a while.

Yep, you can either find a clean Win 6.5 ROM with nothing pre-loaded into it, or one with stuff pre-loaded into it. The process is easier than I first thought: just hardSPL your device, which an app does for you, and then do the same thing for ROMS, in which you dowload the ROm, hook up your computer to your phone, and launch the customRUU exe that comes with it. A lot of peopel might say its way more complicated, but this is generally it. Search hardSPL in forums.
nice, thanx for these useful info but i guess i'll stick with WinMo 6.1 for a while now, but i messed it up anyway tried to install mobidiv arabic support but it showed letters backwards so i uninstalled it and now i have no words in some certain places can u refer me to a working mobidiv multilangual support?

1- manila is another name for Touch Flo 3D, which is HTC's proprietary GUI. Since it's extremely finger friendly and easy to use, a lot of cooks include it in their ROMs
2 - sync your phone using active sync, there is a check box that will let you use your desktop's internet on your X1 as long as your phone is connected via active sync (sorry for being vague, i don't have AS installed)
3 - most cooked ROMs already have flash support for internet browsers. for stock ROMs, there are cabs around that'll give you flash (again, sorry for being vague, i'd been using cooked ROMs for more than a year and all of them have flash)
4- Manila has the Audio Booster app has EQ settings. You can also try windows media player, nitrogen, coreplayer... there are tons of music apps for WinMo
5- Look for the "audiopara" cab somewhere in the forum
thanx so much for these useful info., so is manila a .cab that could be installed, cuz i'm downloading a 33 MB file that is supposed to install touchflo panel it's a .cab i think.
right now i'm looking for a good audio player, and a divx player, BTW can I play Rmvb video files on the xperia??
regarding the audiopara i searched but all i found was related to roms or certain roms: new roms, and others that i don't rembember the name but the prob. is that I don't know which one will work for my x1, can u help me?
