WinCE on PC

Don't double click on it or you'll have a very weird PC :shock: .

This is a part of a reply to a registry question in general forum. It's a warning against importing win CE registry to the PC by mistake. The idea reminded me of something I read on a site called "Computer stupidities" .
http://rinkworks.com/stupid/cs_os.shtml
There's one there about a guy who's laptop got to heavy, so he installed CE on it to make it lighter, they just don’t specify how he did it… :lol:

That quote was from me - I don't recall if PCs still permit importing by double clicking, but it's wise to apply a reg hack on your PC to make the default function for reg files to be open in notepad, just in case. I was once feeling particularly malicious and removed the "shell" line from the registry and it caused all manner of screw ups. So screwing with your registry is bad... I highly recommend you run Erunt.
Re weird PCs, anyone know what happened to WinCE on the XBOX?

Vj, I apologize if the quote offended you, and I will edit the message if you want. The point you made is completely valid and I agree with it 100%.
The idea of CE and PC put together in one sentence simply reminded me of some silliness I thought might be good for a laugh or two so I posted the link.

Oh absolutely not offended! Just that the original question worried me slightly: how do I view/print off a reg file exported from the PDA, on a PC.
The number of ROM dumps and reg files that I play with on my pc at 5am, I've nearly been there, ending up with some kinda Frankenstinian PCA :shock:
V

Actually, Frankenstinian, some times works.
Personal example: Motorola SM56 PCI modem in P4 computer running XP pro. SP2.
The driver Motorola provides on their site always gave code 10 (cannot start), but when I installed the driver for win 2000 and deleted one exe that sat in the tray and controlled some options I can live without, it worked perfectly.
In fact, so far I didn't notice any instability, or problems sending faxes and stuff.
PS. Important note to whom ever might take this post as an example: when doing stuff like this be prepared to have to format your hard drive.

Tsk, assign .reg files to notepad, but do import one once with regedit.
Doubleclick-> edit in notepad
Rightclick - open with regedit -> import

Prophet Camera to Wizard

Hi...
Attached here are the Camera files from the Jamin.Install No Cert CAb first and then copy all the files to Windows folder.
I was not able to extract cameraDriver.dll...but the results are good.Pls post yr feedback.

Do we know what the differences are? Has anyone tried this, compared results, etc?

Isn't the camera in the Prophet completely different from the one in the Wizard?

what's supposed to be the point if the hardware is different?

Do you by chance have the original files in case something goes wrong or the quality isn't as good as the original (although I can't see how that's even possible :roll: ). Thanks for posting this, I'm anxious to give it a try.

Where I can find "No Cert CAb"?
Thanks

any special way im supposed to copy the files into the windows directory. its not lettin me do so. sayin access denied. I already have No Cert cab installed

I didn't have to install the no cert cab. All I did was connect the phone thru activesync, clicked the explore button in activesync, then copied all the files in the dloaded camera file and pasted them right into the Windows folder on the PPC. Soft reset and good to go. I think these are the same files that are already on the Wizard, though. I don't really see much if any difference.

Correction on my last post. I just reloaded the original camera files and recompared to the Prophet files - why didn't they install these in the first place? They're much more responsive than the Wizard files. The camera is much less grainy and more responsive when you first start looking and an object and focusing on it. The pics do seem to be a bit cleaner and brighter as well, but I'll have to take a couple shots from each to compare.

There's certainly no ill effects from installing the new camera app, I don't see any immediate benefit however. Attached are the old files (from the latest i-mate rom) so you can revert if you want to. I'll try it some more and report what I find. The important thing (assuming the camera on both Wizard and Prophet is identical) is the cameradriver.dll - if anyone has a JamIn could you please post the cameradriver.dll file so we can try it). Here's a quick before/after picture - not much difference, however I tried this in a decent light level.

thanks for the example i also couldnt see any difference, but are there any new Options in the cam app?

One thing I've noticed in Adjust... is that Gamma has been replaced by Sharpness.
In fact, just hacked the .exes and although the JamIn's camera app is v3.02, it was compiled after the latest i-mate one (v3.00), so perhaps the Wizard files are the most up-to-date? (Maybe the .02 refers to a build specifically for the Prophet?) I've attached the original i-mate files this time (oops!).

anyone know what the problem is with mine. i cannot replace the files in the windows folder. i get a msg saying access denied

Simple Yes or No.. MediaNet PPU charges

I have mediaNet unlimited... I just upgraded to the 2.23 rom by summiter which in the connections it shows "myISP" and not mediaNet......
Will I get charged Pay-Per-Usage?

There is no simple answer to is. Using My ISP or Media Net (the only difference is the use of proxy server) does not matter to the billing. I use My ISP all the time w/o being charged PPU. First, make sure PPU is not showing up on your account features. Many times, CSR will forget to take it off when adding Media Net or even PDA connection. Secondly, don't over use the data. If your data usage stands out, Cingular will definitely take a close look at your account and decide you should use Media Net plan and slam you with PPU.

Thanks for the reply.
I think that I will just flash back to the summiter 2.17 rom. I know that I didnt get the PPU charge on it. (just as a precaution) I am almost certain it had MEdiaNet in it in.
let me ask this... is thier a cingular CAB file that will set up the settings ?

why not just use the medianet profile as default if you are worried about it? the settings are in there, just not as default.

see what I mean?

You need call and ask them remove that PPU from your account. You're being charged PPU right now.

Agreed... I just loaded the 2.17 rom and all is good now.. the proxy and all that good stuff is in there.

Again, I and many others don't use proxy server because of Wi-Fi issues. As long as PPU feature is not on your account, it really doesn't matter you use proxy server or not. You need call CSR to remove that *feature* from your account regardless. Sooner or later, it will bite you with a huge bill even if you're using proxy server.

Tilt wm6.1 tethering

anyone successfully tethered their tilt with wm6.1?

Absolutely. I do it daily (without a tethering plan even). What kind of problems are you having?

How?

Can you share how? I hate paying lots of extra bucks for tethering. I use it extensively and download a lot of stuff.

I hate reading another redundant thread regarding media net and teathering

wireless tethering with WMWiFiRouter is the best way to go. Google it and download.

I second that.... I am using Version 1.25 although there is an update to V1.30. I do not want to update since the version I have works flawlessly and I am used to it.

super easy, use file explorer or whatever software you use that does the same thing, go into the phones "windows" folder, go down to the program called internet sharing, copy it. Now go to you folder in the windows folder called "start menu" then "programs" now paste the program here or one of the subfolders. DO NOT PASTE SHORTCUT. now you should be able to go under start menu programs and start the program. You will probably notice that it says something like at&t isp, change that to media net, conect to your computer and press the tab that sais connect and you should be golden.

then don't read it. no one is forcing you to. and allot of people don't have time to sit there and spend hours going through the many other posts that are not what they are looking for.

kemp509 - You rock! Works like a charm. I'm using it as I type this message. I can't wait to use it the next time I'm out of WiFi range.

BTW - I tested my speeds at http://www.speedtest.net/ and it turns out that my AT&T network has faster download speed then my home broadband by 35%! Upload was the same.

Wow...
I guess on my side my mobile connection won't equal my home connection anytime soon

After several tests, gives me an error of IO in creation of FDS
any virtual Windows drive, I have partitioned the drive and I have tried on several different units, different abilities and permissions in virtual partitions, but still with the same error IO, what if some user postings by decoding achieves what is the error. The application is trial and no longer exists in its official website, only gives the possibility of creating 1MB or 2MB, but you can find complete if you search by up to 2GB of extra storage.
First apologies to those who might feel offended by posting full programs, this time as there is neither the company nor the program and I got it completely, so postings ONLY WITH RESEARCH eagerness for teachers in programming can investigate and give a solution to this effect which we all have with the Shift and SnapVue

Best regards .

Good sol. although we've been promised by the project team to be able to access both SD Card and HDD from WinMo as Storage Card in the new coming ROM.
I'll try it and see if I get the same error.
============
after trial I got the same error; I tried both file format (NTFS and FAT32). I'll try later with a flash disk and SD Memory card. please note that the software is a trial ver. and only allow2 MB of memory; the bad news is the company website is unavailable so we can't buy it or get support for the error.
Can any of the programmers or developers in this forum disassimble the app and rebuild another app with the same concept.

Network Folder plugin v1.0
Check out this little freeware plugin for File Explorer in WM.
You'll get a new option in the "connection" tab in setting where you can configure network shares.

I've not seen any commitment from the project team that SD card access will definitely be possible - can you point me in the right direction?
I'm of the opinion that the SD card isn't actually physically "connected" to the WinMo portion of the device, so it will never be possible to get native access to the SD card (which is the only type of access that's of any use to me), but I'd love to be wrong on this.
Regards,
Dave

Well, it could be connected physically (hardwarw) and the only thing missing is the driver or configuration of some how; anway you can check the previous post, It's usefull
