I have just reflashed the firmware on my UK Orange SPV M2000 after porting my mobile operator over to virgin mobile. i did this so i could remove the Operator customisations which were just taking up ram, and also to see if i could make my phone more reliable (one of my biggest bugbears is not being able to use Wifi without a soft reset) as a result i can switch on and of bluetooth and wifi at will without any errors, and i havent performed a soft reset because of a problem in 6 days (i have soft resetted after installing some programs as it was required by the prog)
I achieved by first downloading ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/BlueAngel_Roms/BA_1.40_radio_1.20_untested_extrom.rar and removing the Radio_.nbf file and flashing that to the phone.
once that was done i did a hard reset then flashed radion rom 1.13 as described here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Radio_1.13_Upgrade
I then downloaded all the files from here ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAn...ERK_1.4X_002/I-Mate_PDA2K_Ext_ROM_140176_WWE/ into a directory on my PC
I then deleted
Default_ImateV112.002.cab -> dont need it as i havent got an imate so dont need imate email
Default_Caller_ID_BA_AKU26_RC20.CAB -> i will explain why in a minute
Default_Fax_V2.09_WWE_0720.CAB -> havent got a need for faxes
Default_SkypeForPocketPC.CAB -> this is pants and so is skype
and then i then added cabs for the following programs prefixing them with the Default_ so they would install after hard reset
Voice command 1.5 for Phone edition -> i think every one uses this
Photo Contacts Pro v 3.01 -> This is fantastic beats the IA caller ID hands down
I then used the extrom unlocker and deleted all the files in the extended rom and then copied my downloaded files into it. the then locked and hid the extended rom again and then performed a hard reset
once that was done i added in the Virgin GPRS and MMS settings (If anyone wants help with this part for virgin settings let me know as i am working on creating a CAB file with these settings) and renamed device and added owner information.
There are two problems now, the first i can fix, the camera raises the backlight to full and then keeps it that way. i just deleted camera.exe from the windows directory and then replaced it with the camera app that was originally on the device (make a backup of this file b4 you start)
The only problem that is left is a problem that happened with WMP9 and WMP10 if music is playing and you close WMP then your device loses all sound. i dont know of a workaround for this, but i make sure i pause any music before i close the app, not a big thing really
I then loaded on these apps mainly into the storage memory except that specifically request you install them into main memory
SPB Pocket Plus 2.5
SPB weather
SPB Diary
Ewallet
Tomtom Navigator 5
Microsoft Reader
Pocket Mechanic
and last but not least my favourite game Virtual Pool Mobile v1.6
This doesnt sound like many apps but it suits my needs perfectly for the moment.
I then took a full backup onto SD........
and viola one ultra stable Orange SPV M2000
i hope it works for you too
I would do what i did when installing apps and install one at a time and test especially task managers and today screens as these use up driver memory, this is where the problem with the WIFI and bluetooth starts
and in case i dont see you good afternoon and good evening and goodnight (watched the trueman show again! :roll: )
Interesting and well detailed,
I then used the extrom unlocker and deleted all the files in the extended rom and then copied my downloaded files into it. the then locked and hid the extended rom again and then performed a hard reset

What i mean is i run the extended rom unlocker tools on the device by selecting unhide & unlock and then through activestink browse to the /extended rom folder and then delete the files and then copy the extended rom files from the pc and put in thier place.
i hope that clarifies it for you
and yes i can attch the file for download, but its on my other comp and because of a failed raid array i havent replaced yet it takes 20 mins to boot, so i will do it tommorow
Thanks, fuzzy. Looking forward to that
fuzzy,
Are you able to extract that exe file yet ?
Nvm, fuzzy.
Found the camera.exe HERE.
Hi Fuzzy,
Where did you get the cabs from for:
Voice command 1.5 for Phone edition ->
Photo Contacts Pro v 3.01 ->
Cheers
Yohanson [/quote]
i got Voice command 1.5 with IRC on #pocketwarez on EFNET servers
and as for photo contacts i couldn't get it free so i ended up buying it (first pocketpc software i have bought ever, and to be blunt it was worth it for something that is used every time you recieve a call)
I have also incresed the number of programs by upgrading to latest versions of SPB programs and also added SPB time and SPB weather and i still have no problems with Wifi. it starts first time every time.
I have just bought 5 more of these phones but O2 XDA IIs so i will reflash these the same and then flog on ebay.
every one else who has one of these phones is jelous because it has been reliable as a rock since i did this, and i have still not experieced any problems since the flash, and i have not performed one soft reset because of a problem. i know a lot of you wont believe it but its true it has been rock solid for me. so i will test the same procedure on the five phones when get them and see if there are any differences
Great stuff!
I did something a little similar here.
I took the latest firmware and Extended firmware.
I then went through it and deleted everything I don't need.
Splash Screen, Clearvue stuff, Cingular settings, album, etc etc etc.. Although these would be neat programs... let's be honest... when it comes to the Blue Angel, less is more.
So right now, I'm pretty stable.
I don't put anything in the Protected ROM. I think a lot of apps don't like it.
We'll see how this goes!

Since I do not want to hard reset - what are the files that I need to remove in order to completely uninstall IA Caller ID ? - it does not show up on my installed apps to remove so I need to do it manually - TIA

I havent got a clue of all the files that it uses but i imagine if you look in the windows\startup directory you will see a shortcut to start the program delete it and it wont run, but dont hold me to it as i havent got it installed to check what the shortcut is
When I try to connect to the Goodlink server (corp email) with WM6, it says that my device is not supported at this time.
Do you guys know if Good Link is supported on WM6? If so, is there a special installer somewhere that is not on the Good Link website? If there is not, is there something I can do to make Good Link think it is on a WM5 OS?
Thanks for any help !!!
Does anyone have any more info on this issue?
We are experiencing some issues with WM6 and getting GoodLink on it.
One person was able to get GoogLink to work by doing a restore using a 3rd party app. But new installations of Good do not allow it to be installed because it does not recognize the handheld (OS, i'm sure).
Anyone know if there is a workaround? Registry tweak? Or just wait for a new version of Good to be released by Motorola-Good that supports WM6?
BTW, although its the same issue, were talking about WM6 on the HERMES device.
"One person was able to get GoodLink to work by doing a restore using a 3rd party app. But new installations of Good do not allow it to be installed because it does not recognize the handheld (OS, i'm sure)."
Hold on, how did this person do that? And we are talking about on WM6, right? Can you direct me to the thread or give me directions, please?
Yes, this is on WM6 and HTC HERMES, like I said in my post. The BACKUP was done while the phone still had WM5 and the RESTORE was done while the phone had WM6.
As far as what app was used, I do not know, I believe it was some 3rd party app that backs up and restores your apps/data, look around in the forums.
I tried the 'dirty fix'. Wow, when they said dirty, they meant it !!! the phone crashes every other second and you get error messages and freezes with every button you hit. I'll remember your user name and will pm you if I ever find a fix or see goodlink for wm6. Please do the same
Motorola-Good released version 4.9.3 (which according to an email from a Good rep, is supposed to support WM6)
I downloaded it but am still having trouble getting it to install on WM6.
I'm posting the link to Good 4.9.3 in case anyone would like to see if they can figure it out.
http://customerportal.good.com/techSupport.php?id=70
Use the last download button on the page, the SD installation version. The others are for the server.
did I miss something? i dont see where it says it supports wm6.
Edit: okay, I read slow. Never mind...a rep said this via email. I'll try it again
Same here on 8525 Cingular, I tried the GetGoodLinkPPC2005.cab & GLPackage2005.cab with no luck, when it does the Over the air setup it comes up with the error that its not compatible with the OS
UPDATE: For those that want to upgrade to WM6 and need to run GoodLink YOU MUST FIRST DO A GoodLink Backup from the Good Options on WM5!!, do it on the memory card and after you upgrade to WM6 you will find a file on the root of the card to restore GoodLink, what i do is connect to my wifi at home first then i do the update and IT WORKS I now have WM6 and GoodLink Good Mobile Messaging v4.9.2.30_EN on my 8525

I can confirm that this does indeed work with my 8525. However, I am experiencing delays in receiving emails on wm6. Sometimes they take 1 minute or less to arrive, other times they can take several minutes. This is a huge problem considering my organization pays to have no-latency email.
Uh oh... I think I found a deal breaker. I'm not receiving ANY mails, or seeing old mails, in subdirs.

I was having delays on WM5 so this is no news to me, not all the time but i did notice it, cant say the same for WM6 yet, overall it runs great, and much faster.
I'm curious what others have to say. Goodlink was so sluggish that I actually had to revert to WM5. I wasn't receiving mails that were automatically pushed to subdirs by Exchange rules and emails that did come in were coming in extremely sporadically.
It runs 100% on mine, no lag or delays here, it seems faster then on WM5 and this might be due to the fact that the OS is so much faster....
Goodlink working with WM6 & Wizard 8125
I did a backup in WM5 and did a restore after WM6 ROM Update. It works like a charm. My only problem now is that it did not make Goodlink contacts as the default one so I'm not getting any contacts in the phone dialer. I think I'm still using the v4.8.1.14_EN.
Just a quick note from a Hermes/8525 user ... Goodlink is working fine on all of the cooked WM6 Roms that are floating around for that device ... most of us first (in WM5) did a goodlink backup to the SD card, then we were able to "restore from backup" once WM6 was installed, without a problem. Known isssues at the moment once you have it up and running are:
No full integration with Dialer (the contacts button now reverts to outlook contacts, not goodlink contacts)
Auto Complete feature in WM6 does not work correctly within Goodlink Apps
Otherwise, seems to be working fine ... and just as fast as before (I still get my goodlink emails faster than I get them on my desktop computer in my office)
Good on WM6
Good version 4.9.3.34 and above will run on most WM6 devices. However, only your administrator can push this out to you via the Good Management Console (you can't control what version you get) so you will need to persuade whoever runs your Good server to push the very latest version. It doesn't matter what OTASetup file you get, it is always the Good server that decides what client build you get.
If you are getting the 'Device not supported' message then chances are your Good Admin is _not_ pushing the latest 4.9.3.34 or above version to your device. If you are getting a different message about the serial number, IMSI, etc. then it may be your device will just not run it.
--
For Good Admins:
In order to push the latest client you can simply change the version of the client you are deploying by:
1. Opening the Management Console
2. Clicking on the User Groups folder (in the left hand pane)
3. Right clicking on the ‘All Users’ group (for example)
4. Choosing ‘Manage Group’ from the drop down.
5. Clicking on the ‘Edit Group Software…’ button
6. Selecting ‘Windows Mobile 5.0 PocketPC’ in the top dropdown
7. Choose the latest version of the client available in the middle window (you may need to scroll up)
8. Select ‘Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone’ in the top drop-down
9. Repeat step 7
Hope this helps!

Sluggish mail with Good

This is almost certainly an issue on the server side, not the device. You should speak to your Good Admin and check what the link is like between the Good Server and the Exchange Server.
Also make sure that if they have any software running in the background on the Good Server such as antivirus or backup that it excludes the 'Cache' and 'Logs' Good directories.
(Or get him to phone Good Support for a health check on the server ).
Thanks,
Kitt.
Okay, I think I got this to work without going through your admin... For those of you that didn't think to do a backup before upgrading and do not want to upgrade again, follow these steps:
1: Download http://customerportal.good.com/download/sdcard_4_9_3.exe
2: Extract.
3: Copy GetGoodLinkPPC2005.cab and GLPackage2005.cab from PPC_WM5.0/EN folder to your phone.
4: Run GetGoodLinkPPC2005.cab. This will take you through the standard OTA setup that you are used to.
5: Enter your e-mail and PIN as normal. Once it restarts, you should get the "Launcher executable was not found -8" error.
6: Run GLPackage2005.cab, ignore any errors.
7: Open File Explorer.
8: Go to \Program Files\GoodLink.
9: Run GoodApp (It's a 4.75 meg executable). This will create a new subfolder called GoodLink.
10: Now run GLLauncher from \Program Files\GoodLink.
You may have to hit OK a few times on an error that says "Could not autolaunch Goodlink", but with any luck this will work for you. It did work for me. The only reason I'm not guaranteeing the 10 steps above is because I clicked on things like a crazy person for about 10 minutes before I got it to work. However, the logic is sound. Basically, you're letting OTA push whatever your company specifies then you're installing the new, WM6 compatible version over it.
Hope this helps! It's working perfectly for me!!!
Has anyone managed to successfully run any apps that needs 'embedded Visual Runtime Basic'
I downloaded it from MS and loaded it to the tytn II and then loaded the app which appears to install successfully, but when i launch the app i just get 2 loading (spinning) icons then nothing.
the app i want to run is GPS DIS pro 3.4 which needs VB runtime files to work.
I had the same problem on the HTC P300i also.
Any tips/help is appreciated.
I have a evb program on my tilt that I wrote a couple years back and it runs just fine. Im not familiar with that program so I cant really help you with it but you can definately run evb programs on the tilt/kaiser/tytn II.
Thanks Ren13B,
which VB Runtime file did you load? (link please)
I tried another app that needed VB Runtime also but that wouldnt load also.
ps. are you driving an R100?
Sorry I dont remember where I got it. I just did a google search for it because the link they give you if you dont have it installed is now dead. Doing a quick search now pulls up http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/downloads/evb.aspx which should provide you with what you need. That page states the runtime is no longer supported on anything past Pocket PC 2003 so that might be your problem.
I drive a RX-8 right now. Renesis13B
Thanks Ren13B,
That is the link that i used already. I had some other posts that indicated that it should be installed on the device and not the storage card, which i have done.
Some others like yourself have indicated that they have gotten it running in WM6, but none of my 2 apps being GPS DIS pro3.4 and Geoapps GPS Stealth 1.00.
Could you try them and let me know if you can get them to run?
Cheers!
PS. Ever thought about dropping in a 20B???
Sure, I can try them. Can you post links for them or pm the links if they arent free apps?
I had a 2nd gen RX7 that I wanted to put a 20B in but it was too costly at the time. Im keeping the RX8 relatively stock for now. Cant afford to have car troubles these days.
Nevermind..i found a trial version. Trying it now.
Doesnt run on mine either. I get the same two spinning icons and nothing else happens.
try a soft reset,
when i did that i got a tad further. (to the point where it tells me that i have used X number of 15 tries.
Thanks
I was wondering if anyones gone before me and done this and has any thoughts and ideas to share.
IF anyone is familiar with 7customizer, I was never clear now in it's v1.13 stage that it had any ability to remove crap like vlite to make a slimmed version of win7 suitable for the HTC SHIFT with as small HDD footprint and few running services as possible.
7customizer is new and seems limited but built for win7.
vlite is said to work well with win7 but is built for vista.
I have tried 7customizer and all i was able to do was make the installation of win7 unattended which is a real whop-di-do...
vlite for win7 i tried but and got the image from 2.3gb down to 1.2gb which is real nice but upon selecting regional settings in the first stage it then asked me for some drivers and showed a blank dialog box, i never got past this stage to chose which partition to install on and got stuck.
has someone perhaps done this successful with a saved vlite preset on what was saved and what got chucked?
is all this maybe to much trouble to go through for ultimately little gain?
Had a bit of difficulty sleeping last night so i got started on this project and spent some time thinking about it and i decided to ask you guys for help.
Tiny 7 is worth a look with an installation size of 2.6gb (on the hdd) but i couldnt get the touchscreen to work on it
tiny 7 is a program or a home made ISO of win7?
But the lack of touchscreen is a dealbreaker, you sure theres no hope?
Unless they decide to add it again, I tried the add/remove windows features with no luck.
I know there is a way to slim your Windows 7 but I have not tried. Please cked the following:
http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/windows-7/8441-how-slim-down-windows-7-a.html
Some progress ive tried vlite to copy tiny7 with no luck however ive found out that the driver is installing (the touchscreen shows up in HID's)
The problem is the lack of the TabletInputService which should be eaiser to port than the entire tablet pc components. The service points to
C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalSystemNetworkRestricted
If we could find a way to add this service to tiny7 we will have an iso that only takes up 2.4GB of hdd and flys on the HTC Shift.

Hello,
I have a HTC Touch Pro, and reviewing the device boot process I have called for "PKG.EXE" What it is for this executable, and what is its function within the Windows Mobile?. Thank you.
I also wanted to ask, for the experience you have with this model of HTC, and without touching the original ROM that takes (I have it under warranty still), as can optimize the use of battery power in an effective manner. I have the screen always the minimum possible, I avoid programs running in the background without the need (except for those at home), very few scheduled alarms, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth disconnected when not in use. ActiveSync also disconnected when not in use. The phone in 2G (3G off). I note that for some time takes me barely a day battery. I just replaced the battery with a new original, and even if I'm watching longer than the load. The control program of the battery is the partner who has designed BattClock, adjusted query interval to 120 seconds.
Sincerely,
Sometimes, the easiest thing to do is open up a dll or exe with a text editor. Here's what's in pkg.exe (other than all the binary crap):
c:\Documents and Settings\Jocelyn_Yang.HTCTAIPEI\Desktop\Autorun_package_splash_2577\PKG\Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK (ARMV4I)\Release\PKG.pdb
P K G . l n k % s \ % s i n s t a l l P k g A u t o r u n . e x e \ % s \ 2 5 7 7 \

So, I'd guess that Jocelyn Yang wrote it, lol. Maybe you should email her. The other thing I'd guess is that it's part of the autorun process that carries out customization.

Hello Farmer Ted,
Thank you very much for answering.
Open the "exe" with a text editor binary, and saw nothing to give me a clue, actually left peri "Jocelyn Yang's" name in the file.
Do you think that might Elimite this call in the Windows Start Mobile (PKG.LNK) and remove this file "PKG.EXE" folder "Windows" without affecting the operation me right out of my HTC Touch Pro?. Please let me might help in this matter, not having unnecessary files on my mobile device. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
It's in rom, so you can't delete it (no matter how hard you try). I don't have it running at startup personally, so if there's a link in your startup folder, you can probably remove it. I really doubt there will be an issue, but you should always do a backup before messing with your startup queue, in case it freezes the device and forces a hard reset.

Hello Farmer Ted,
Thanks for answering. What if I would be interested to know is that this file is, you know what your purpose in the operating system. Google is that I have not found an explanation of this file.
Sincerely,
All I can tell you is that it's in the OEM Drivers section of the rom. I doubt it does much. There is some garbage left over in your startup folder sometimes after bootup. If you see an autoshortcut.lnk file and and HTCstartup.lnk file, you can delete both of those. They're used during customization. I'm guessing that pkg.exe runs during 1st boot, then isn't necessary, but I really don't know.

Hello Farmer Ted,
Thank you very much for answering. Well there is something more about this file. I ventured to remove it (copied to another folder before it), and I got a little scare, as before restarting the device after a soft-reset, did it again another soft-reset automatically... I thought it would go into a loop, but no... after the second soft-reset my device it definitely started. I have always taken a backup with SPB Backup, in case I completely reset the device.
I did not want to take more risks, and I left the file in your site... I think it really annoys. But thanks to you and is something more about it, but not quite... continues the mystery about it...
Sincerely,
If you have sk tools, it's got a good startup manager. It will allow you to disable/re-enable items in the startup folder, and will save the shortcuts for you. You definitely need to be careful with startup, though, as you can get into reset loops and boot-ups to frozen devices. You're probably good to go. I don't have a link to pkg.exe in my startup, so it's not something vital. The crucial stuff is all launched in HKLM\init, anyway, I believe.
Once, I just wanted a particular task manager to run at startup, so I put a link in the folder, thinking nothing of it. It caused hell. The device would boot to the today screen, then freeze as the plugins loaded, but not always at the exact same place. After about 10 resets, it got far enough along that I was able to open total commander and delete the startup link before the device froze, then re-start it.
Hello,
I have a HTC HD2 and I make a ROM upgrade from T-Mobile-Rom 1.48 up to T-Mobile-Rom 1.72 - after the update the device was very slow, so I look in the autostart-folder and find two new links there I never see by my old Rom - I read our post and delete it (pkg.lnk and HTCstartup.lnk) - after this I make a softreset. The device startup without any problem and was very fast... so it work's now very fast and good but I can't say what the two link's do...
Sorry for my bad english...

Hello,
I followed your advice of using SK Tools (an indispensable tool for me with Windows Mobile, together with MemMaid), and I started off on the Windows Mobile the two processes that says: "PKG.lnk" and "HTCstartUP.lnk".
As indicated by "mommel" also in this forum thread, which also had these two processes and eliminated, now the device will boot much faster, and no one notices that nothing goes wrong ... for now. As I have simply disabled, not totally eliminated, thus I will continue trying to run my device.
Thank you for your valuable information. I believe this forum thread is very instructive and I'm glad I initiated if more partners relevant to the forum.
Sincerely,

Hello,
I followed what you indicate in your message, and using SK Tools (an indispensable tool for me with Windows Mobile, together with MemMaid), I turned off the Windows Mobile Start you indicate the two processes (com also says "Farmer Ted": "PKG.lnk" and "HTCstartUP.lnk".
This amendment also boots faster my HTC Touch Pro (HTC original ROM with WM6.1 Pro), and also seems to go faster running after starting.
The pity is not actually know these two processes that serve simply to increase our knowledge of the Windows Mobile.
Thank you for your information.
Sincerely,
Basically, it's HTC's fault. They're sloppy with the initial boot-up of the device, those links should be deleted after first boot. There's also some stuff you can disable in the HKLM\init queue and in the HKCU\Software\HTC\bootlauncher queue. In the init keys, there's one for autotimeupdate. It doesn't appear to do anything, so you can just delete the key (I think it's 120). I delete the tmail key in bootlauncher (I've never missed having tmail running in the background). If you use a custom sip (other than ezinput), you can delete the 'startkey' reg key, as this just initiates ezinput. I've never missed sipgt_app.exe, so you can delete that piece of crap, too. My boot times are 60-65 seconds (I don't run manila; I use 6.5, but boot-times are faster with 6.1). If you trim the fat, you can speed up re-boots a ton. Just don't delete the keys for core processes-that could end in a hard reset. I recommend doing a full backup before really messing with the registry keys.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Apps\TMail]
"Module"="\\Windows\\tmail.exe"
"CmdLine"="-RunInBKG"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Apps\SIP_menu]
"Sleep"=dword:0000012c
"Module"="\\Windows\\SIPGT_app.exe"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Apps\Startkey]
"Sleep"=dword:0000012c
"Module"="\\Windows\\startkey.exe"
