hi rom cookers,
is there any way to build a anti-theft tool like iiwpo in the jade roms?
exist an application based on GPS, anti-theft. is called w.i.m.p - where is my phone. when is stollen, and is inserted another sim in it, you will receive on your number the gps coordonates, and everything that is doing with that sim (where has called, where has sent a sms, which one has called him, etc).
At first: WIMP is not freeware or opensource.
Second: how it works after hard reset?
yes, is not freeware. and after hard reset will not work anymore, but, usually thiefs is stealing a phone, and then faster has been selt.

During the installation (Customization) it installs a file called from the extended rom
Default_CAAVPPC_IMEI_Wiz_range
Which installs “eTrust Antivirus for Pocket Pc”
If you miss this out of the install no slow down etc
to remove the file you need total commander ppc.
install it on the k-jam run it and then at the top input \Extended_Rom\
and move the file to your storage card/other folder on the ppc, hardreset the device and no more slow down
** be careful what you delete tho as it could cause problems etc etc, which I can not be accountable for etc etc ***
Great tip! I saw it first on PocketDubai and alreay appled it. Device works right now, I mean actually WORKS
yeah that must of been were i read it first, could not find the link, but figured i would post it here in case anyone missed it
The antivirus software DOES NOT install itself in hard reset (on my imate k-jam and others too). If its not listed in your "remove programs" then its not installed. So all this talk of the k-jam speeding up when you remove the cab file from the extended rom is pointless. Unless of course there are different roms on the devices?

It's not on mine either , its on the SP5 in the program window but not on my K-Jam . UK Version.. Like the Jam maybe there are differnt external ROM builds???

It does install and consume memory/storage/processor. An easy experiment is to do a cold boot of your device, then look at the storage and memory utilization. Next remove the file indicated and do a cold boot. Examine the numbers again and you will find that they are higher. Ergo something has been removed. I would say that the AV program removes itself from the Installed software list as a means of preventing Viruses from spotting it.

It does install, but it hides from the add remove programs list as robinton says
Mine doesn't seem to have anything antivirus related installed as applications or in the registry.
Is this confirmed and working and how much faster does this make the k-jam/how noticable?
Thx.
does anybody know if the QTEK 9100 installs the same anti-virus software? Just received mine yesterday and think that it runs really slowly in comparison to my old Ipaq 3850!!
I appreciate that it isn't an "apples for apples" comparison, but my IPaq is over 3 years old and runs like a dream - even put TT5 on it and it runs better than on brand new Qtek! :?:
Install total commander and find out.
I have the Sprint PCS (CDMA, US) version of this phone. The extended ROM includes a program that hides everything it loads from the add/remove programs list. I'm assuming the other versions do to.
Unfortunately my extended ROM space is visible, but not writeable or erasable.
I'm wondering, before I try it, will the same technique work for the SkyPE?
Ok, I'll reply to my own post.
I installed Total Commander. I went to the Extended_Rom dir, and moved the av and skype out and into My Docs. Did a hard reset and wham! No more av or skype. Skype was a 2.6m file. Funny thing is, Looking in My Docs, I don't find them.
The device is a bit more peppy now.
I can't seem to find the file mentioned anywhere in my extended ROM. I've using the KJAM WWE 1.1.9.106 EXTENDED ROM version.
Any ideas?

I have WWE 1.1.9.104 EXTENDED ROM, that could be why.
Hi guys
I use my phone a lot for business and got many countries to follow up ... therefore I use special numbers (prefixes) to dial.
Is there any sftware equivalent to O2 one for dialling which can be installed on the machine?
As long as I'm concerned the best I have founded is Sunnysoft Calling Card dialer but is stupid spend money when it should be the OEM providing this very basic function: any idea?
Thanks for your cooperation on the matter
I implemented a software that should qualify your request, it is free.
So have done the search and can't find this question answered.
I have some programs (Mobipocket, TomTom) which use a program-generated ID to unlock purchased content. So when I d/l a Mobipocket book, I have to enter the Reader's unique product ID. This is different for every device you install the software on.
Does anyone know if the ID generated by these programs changes if you flash a new ROM. It's enough of a pain to have to redownload my ebooks but TomTom only lets you change the software device ID once every 6 months, so I may wait to buy maps as I am about to try out a few different ROMs.
Note, this is the device ID generated within the program, not the Device ID you can set through the Start>Settings menu.
Thanks
no, a device id is somewhat similar to the mac address, it doesn't change
It can. If you flash a cooked ROM that contains an XIP grafted from another device then the deviceID will change. This isn't done very often however. I'm not aware of any Kaiser ROMs containing a grafted XIP.

Sleuth is absolutely correct on this. I personally have flashed almost all kaiser roms and this isnt going to be a problem for you, HOWEVER with WM6.1 slowly seeping through the cracks then you might want to wait. I believe the 6.1 rom being cooked now is being grafted from a hermes rom.
which is messed up since that is a port of a kaiser rom lol... I'm not complaining but it would be nice to have the original kaiser rom that the hermes rom is based on.
I've probably flashed every ROM cooked for the Kaiser. I've had no problems with my TomTom which always keeps the same device ID - I guess this is linked to the IMEI number. However, with my Mobimate Expense package the generated ID changes each time and I have to email them each time to reset my activation. I guess that your Mobipocket will be the same.
I'll probably end up ditching the Mobimate because new ROMS are more important to me. This is a shame because the software is great and easy to use, but a pain to have to re-activate. I'll contact them again to see if they can change to IMEI based identification on the next release because I won't pay for upgrades otherwise.
Hey, I would like to know if I could use a sprint Diamond or Touch Pro on another carrier. The carrier I would like to use it with is cellular south.
Hey, I found your question!! Ok, well since your Diamond is security unlocked, I believe the answer is yes, look into a rom on PPCgeeks.com called Energy Rom, I am using his latest release, there are two posts for Energy Rom so make sure you get the newest one, anyways, included in this rom is what he calls Carrier Provisioning, it has Sprint as well as Cellular South in there.
Let me know how it works out for you!
EDIT: Hey, I figured I should link you to the page so you dont have to hunt!
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=74084
click the blue button that says "Download" NOT the one that says "Download all Roms Here"
So once I unlock and install the rom, how exactly do I activate it over cellular souths network if it came from sprint? and thank for reply lol I never got replys on my questions except for battery issues.
Also do you have info for me about the touch pro, becaue im fixing them and want to flash them to cellular south because thats the most popular carrier where i am.
Ok, from what I understand about switching carriers is this, once you use the carrier provisioning, you need to use the attached program called Phone Codes.cab, what this does is allows you to do a manual setup of the phone, on a stock rom(shipped rom) you would do this by going to the dial pad and typing in ##somenumber#, but that doesn't work on most custom roms so someone(cant remember who to give credit to, SORRY DEV) made this app to access the hidden setup menus. Call cell south and tell them you are doing a manual activation of your new phone and that you need the pin number used to log in to the setup, then have them tell you what to change and what to change it to! I know it sounds like a lot, but its really not, also if you dont think you can do this alone, just install the phone codes.cab and go to a cell south location and ask a tech guy to do the setup, but make sure to tell them they have to use the program because they cant access it through the dial pad!
Wow, that was a mouthful
As far as the touch pro, as long as its a cdma phone, you might be able to program it to cell south, I have never used that phone unfortunately so I don't want to give you terrible advice. I will always try to help since XDA has always been good to me!
Thank you so much for the info!!! You really helped, could you recomend me a rom for my touch diamond? I like eye candy and performance, I always have problems with custom roms "fm radio not working, gps not working, data not working... etc...
I have tried almost every rom I could find, I have to say there are three that stood out, 1st is Moonscapex's "1.6"(fast, light on mem, and a beautiful black theme), 2nd is "Very Lt. Sense" from Dev O.a.T.(I liked this one because it includes Max Sense, I think its the only rom for the Diamond that does, but it uses up a bit more mem), the 3rd is "Energy Rom" from Dev NRGZ28( my personal favorite, it is good on mem, has in my opinion a beautiful theme, and is highly customizable). So those are just my favorites, I still use my Sprint Hero as a daily phone, so I have had an opportunity to flash a lot of roms and add-ons to my Diamond and I can honestly say there are bugs in quite a few roms but the three I suggested are the most stable I have used.
Now for the fun stuff, I am an early adopter of the android platform, so I am of course going to suggest XDAndroid, this is not flashable, I mean it will not replace WM, think of it as Parallels(a virtual machine), it is fairly simple to add to your phone, it is not the most functional at this point but the Devs involved are working very hard, and it is working well enough at this point that you can run it and see if you like Android(I know you will), and I think its great that we have a choice of 1.6/2.1/or 2.2!!
Also, XDA is great, really my favorite community, so it embarasses me to say this, but for roms for our CDMA Diamonds PPCGeeks.com is the place to go.
Ok, well let me know if there is anything else

Hello, I am not abble use the O2 SIM Tool Kit application. Anybody has the same problem? Any idea? Without STK I cannot log on to the bank web interface.
not even seen the app
It looks, that nobody here needs SIM Tool Kit...
I dont know how its used elsewhere, but in Czech republic its commonly used for bank verification. What about in Germany, UK or US? Do you use it as well?
don't think we use that here in the usa.
Am I still the only one who is missing this feature?

Wouldn't this be more of a question to the providor of that app? Considering what we have seen with other apps, marketplace, other programs, I would think compatibality with WP7 would be a 'known' issue that would need to be resolved by the providor.....I mean...everything else has changed...why wouldn't this.
I have spoken for long time with WP7 team. They have no plans for Sim-Toolkit. Damn...
really Narrow minded
absence of STK in the short term will make the phones unusable in 3rd world countries as many users will suddenly miss this great functionality.
Not sure if the feature used to work on my old WM 6.5 phone is related to STK or not where i have a SIM card with dual phone numbers (Business and Private).
I was able to switch between the 2 numbers and also was able to see some list of features pushed by my service provider.
Now on WM7 its not working anymore
Well.. whatever I found is that STK Sim Tool Kit is not available in WP7 yet and there is no plans for future release. But maybe MS will change plans. In other way, you can change the bank or account type to use SMS autentification so STK will be not needed.
BUT... if you are using STK tool to unlock the credit card - it is no way how to do it, as SMS autentification is just for entering webbanking.
That is really BAD..

STK Sim ToolKit is very useful. In most of countries, operators offer Dual phoine numbers SIMs. Very useful: you can toggle from private to Business numbers with a single phone.
Best,
