Could someone who uses SpbPocketPlus, zip the shortcut command directory and attach it to a reply? I believe its under "\Windows\Start_Menu\Programs\Spb_Pocket_Plus_Actions".
I'm using Faria's 3.2 ROM and SpbPocketPlus freezes it so I have the executable directory loaded on the SD card and am hoping I can use the shortcut programs especially "backlight loop".
At the very least, could you tell me the shortcut properties setting for the "backlight loop" command? I figure its ActionSender.exe with some parameters.
Thanks,
Mike H
Find the attached file if u still want it, but as far as I have realised they are just the shortcuts for the main exe's already installed.
Any way good Luck

SPB Pocket + will not run on that ROM. Been there, done that....you're lucky your device booted up completely to try and fix it. iLauncher3 works great, give it a try.
Who knows what the PKG.exe does it is in the \windows\startup folder?

I dont know what is PKG.exe, but I can tell you its safe to remove it from statrup.
Found this strange file also in the startup folder of the HTC Touch Cruise. Might be safe to delete, but I don't think they put it in there just for fun
Anyone any idea?
google has all of 3 links about this, surely a chef will know?
So what is now the pkg.exe? I can't find anything with google, sorry...
thanks for the answer,
cj182
Google has way more than 3 links but none really answer the question. I am not a programmer but it appears that it is a generic executable to launch a package (pkg) of plugins\programs. "Pkg.exe" is used in several different applications and that is why I refer to it as "generic". It looks like it does similar function in different installs. Not much help, I know, but I tried.
I deleted PKG.lnk from the Startup folder on my Touch HD and then soft reset it. It doesn't seem to change anything as far as I can tell.
Wondering the same thing myself.
Found this in an old hyperdragon ROM thread:
pkg.lnk:
shortcut to pkg.exe. Psst don't tell anyone, it will run any application named "pkgautorun.exe" located in \Storage Card\2577 then the system will automatically delete pkg.lnk. Safe to delete.
Ok. that was a bit kryptic. No help at all really. lol.
I have it as well - you all dont have tomtom installed do you? I do remember Tomtom install executed files in \Storage Card\2577 but only the 1st time when installed
Guys,

Hey man,the name's Andy.I'm new here on XDA and stumbled across this thread just surfing and looking for the MyFaves App as well for my G1. I am running the SuperHero V2 and am also looking for the myFaves app. I know a lot of people don't like it but it's just a quick way to access your favorite 5 people. Anyways...Do you understand any of this jibber jabber at all? I've read the thread and don't understand how to install the app onto my G1. When I flashed the Hero ROM to my G1 I lost the MyFaves App and am just trying to get it back. I've read many many threads on this topic but am still learning how to add apps. Any help would be greatly appreciated from anybody as to how to install this app onto my G1 with Hero Rom. Thanks in advance everybody! Any answers can be sent directly to [email protected] as I do not check threads that much. I check back every other day while being bored at work. Any Help is GREATLY appreciated!

get ready for some more jibba jabba. Be sure your phone is allowed to install non-market apps. Do this by selecting Options then Applications, then make sure you select the check box next to "Unknown Sources".
Next download the .apk and load it onto your SD card. After thats done go ahead and download Astro file manager from the Marketplace. With me so far? Good. Once you have astro installed launch it and look for the .apk you placed on your sd card. If you did everything properly then you will be able to select the .apk and press Install.
Hope that helps

I'm tracking on what your saying and totally understand but where can I download the myfave.apk file from?Thanks again,it's very much appreciated!
short answer: you cant.
the myfaves app is an odex file, completely different ballgame. basically, nobody has found a way of incorporating it into roms yet and t-mobile never put it on the market like their other apps.
regardless, unless youre using the myfaves app for the interface, its useless anyway. set your myfaves through t-mobile.com and then set up direct call links on your desktop using anycut or bettercut.

Couldn't say it any better. Plus you won't want the myfaves app on your phone because its a memory hog.
MyFaves?
OK,one more question. I've been trying to modify things and trying to figure out how to do this. Does anybody know how to use apps2sd to move the myfaves.apk or the odex file or whatever to the sd card? Basically like moving an app to the sd but with the myfaves app? Anybody understand what I'm saying? Just curious. I'm trying to figure this out so that I can try to port it to a Hero build. I'm kinda at a dead end here.Any help is appreciated.
in windows you have to have "show file extensions" enable in the view tab of Folder Options

I have myFaves already,I'm trying to figure out how to move it to the SD Card like apps2sd would do. When I use apps2sd though it does not move MyFaves to the SD card. I think if I could figure this out and get it to work I MAY(not for sure) would be able to port it to a hero build.IDK. I'm just trying anything to get it ported right now.I'm working hard on this and racking my brain and searching and looking and scouring for answers. Thanks for your input though.
Hi men.
Let's talk here about running Ubuntu on our blackstones.
Right now we can boot Ubuntu arm on our blackstones, based on the 'omnibuntu' files. it seems to work well but screen calibration is still difficult...
you can find useful links on the last pages of the android thread (i'm on my blackstone right now and it's difficult to copy and paste all the links) but let's leave the android thread for android...
let's see how far we can get from now
FIRST I WANT TO SAY BIG THANKS FOR THOSE WHO HAD MADE GREAT WORK TO BUILD BLACKSTONE LINUX KERNEL!
WITHOUT IT THIS TREE IS NOT TO BE POSSIBLE.
Here is lidle howto because make lidle bit sense to boot ubuntu.
1.First you have to make partitions to your memory card.(WARNING!!!!!! IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING YOU MAY LOSE YOUR DATA)
-start ubuntu live cd 9.04 in your pc wich you find here:http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ (I think that everyone can burn iso image to cd, but if not just ask)
-in your blackstone go Start-Settings-Connections-USB to PC and select Disk Drive (If you want use activesync you have to change it back to ActiveSync)
-connect your blackstone to pc and make partitions with those instructions witch found here:http://linuxomnia.sourceforge.net/Howto.pdf
2.Second you have to put ubuntu files write places.
-download attachs (fatfiles.zip) and extract to first partition
-download omniubuntu-rootfs.tar.gz here:http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxomnia/files/ and extract it and put files to second partition
3.Boot.
-in blackstone filemanager go to storage card and start haret
-select run and ubuntu will boot
-as fast as you can, move the keyboard lidle bit down because until you can`t calibrate the screen
-when it seems to stop buuting is time calibrate screen
-tap first up left to screen and move up the cross and let off, next make same up right, down right, down left and middle of the screen
This is how i get it works(First i only tap the screen.Second tap i let and hold stylus on the sceen and move it up the cross.In the same way i do to top right....ec.)
-one more tap and that is it
AND AS USUALLY ALWAYS IT IS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Start debian installer
You can run debian install by downloading one iso from:http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.3/arm/iso-cd/ and extract it to second partition wich is ext2 and put attachs and initrd.gz in first partition wich is fat.Initrrd.gz you will find here:http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/armel/images/daily/versatile/netboot/
Also put vmlinuz in second ext2 partition and after all boot installation with haret.I am not yet finished installation.
You can extract iso file with 7zip.
You have nearly 400 views and only 2 replies. I feel that if you are going to keep this thread alive and vibrant with lots of posts you need to layout exactly what it is you are doing because a large number of people have no idea what this is all about and why they should get involved.
Then give very detailed and straight forward instruction on how to install such software, but make the instruction idiot proof.
Consider a description or screenshots to help people grasp your concept.
Thanks and good luck as whatever it is you are doing sounds interesting.
hi sakkeus.
very interesting, thanks!
a couple of questions:
-which initrd were you using with ubuntu?
-can we use the same ubuntu partitions to run debian?
thanks!
let's keep trying and testing

None initrd to fat partition.All system files are in second ext2 partition except zimage default.txt and haret.
I think that debian installation needs more room in ext2, but otherwise same parts.

thanks, sakkeus, but when I try to launch ubuntu using your default, haret says 'couldnt find initrd'. when I remove the initrd line from the default, ubuntu boots well (excepting the screen calibration) so I think ext2 files are ok.that's why I asked.
if it works it would be interesting to see if anyone can get Maemo to work on the hd it's the same os used on the Nokia N900 and heavily based on Linux
yes, Heefy is right!
everything sounds interesting,but i know just a little about linux.
can u explain us?
thanx

Ubuntu MID
Hi, sakkeus.
What do you thing about trying ubuntu MID edition?
Pics here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile
It is distributed as an image file, but if you know how to install it (and which image would be the best) I can give it a try.

Did you really get fat files from this thread second post because i just chek the default text wich is there and there in no initrd.
I think you should redownload fatfiles from second post.

I found it looking for a good on-screen keyboard, wondering if I should code one... but this looks better
Found something than can be useful.
Once in the ubuntu desktop, if you press 'ctrl+alt+del', go to console mode and type 'exit', you go back to the calibration screen.

Hii QNBT,
Well, there are no flashable android ROMs for x1...the chefs are tryin hard to fix all the issues in ext2 and fat32 androids for x1...once they are done with it, we can expect an Android ROM that u can use as the Primary os for ur X1..

Sounds awesome! Thanks for the reply!
I guess it will be running a lot smother that way as well.
yes, it will run smoother from nand. also updated kernel (2.6.35) speeds things up.
but here's the catch:
nand-flash is pretty useless at the moment, because kernels aren't finished. there are still lot's of driver-bugs present which prevent android from being an every-day system.
sweet, i didn´t think that the chefs where working on nand anymore but this sounds awesome =)
There is also an option to install boot Manager... where u could select winmo/ android to boot.. I think you can find it inside xda site..

Thank you! Yes I did try this, but I'm unsure if i picked the right version:
I downloaded this: Gen.Y DualBOOT v1.0.6.0 CABs (QVGA|WQVGA|VGA|WVGA)
All i did was extract this to my sdcard and then move it to /windows.
Is there any part that i actually missed?
Yes you downloaded the right version.
1. You no need to extract all into your SD card, you only need Gen.Y DualBOOT WVGA v1.0.6.0-Storage Card.cab this version.
2. After copy Gen.Y DualBOOT WVGA v1.0.6.0-Storage Card.cab into your SD card, you have to install it to \Storage Card, not \Windows.
3. After install, you have to edit your registry (Use total Commander), the location is at [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT]
4. Find a registry named "AndroidBootFolder", click it and change the content.
5. If your Haret located at your root of SD Card, just leave the content blank
6. If your Haret located in folder, like example NPKBOOT, you have to put NPKBOOT in the content and Save it.
7. After edit your registry, restart your phone and see whether you got the dual boot option or not, if yes that's mean the software install successfully.
Hopes I helped you and sorry for my grammar..

It works! Thanks!
But the part where you said "leave the content blank", that actually means that i should remove the value, so i got a error message and change it back to "00 00"

Nice tips. Wondering if installing Android this way affects winmo performance ?
For me does not affect the WM speed. Dual boot software help us skipping the step booting into Winmo before entering Android, it was like a 'shortcut'.
