Hi everybody,
i just installed SPB pocket Plus 2.2 software on my MDA2... after installing a previous version (i guess but i don't remember which one).. i realised that on the today screen i cannot choose anymore to view the "Storage Card" icon... anybody can help about this?

Use SRS to see the entire today, SPB+ sometimes cuts some part of todya
I am using sbp Pocket Plus 2.0 and did not face such a problem, I am not aware about version 2.2!
Hi dNuOs,
I've got exactly the same problem - I've emails Spb about it, but no answer yet.
Also missing Storage Card

Only see main memory, So nothing about my Storage Card
Ah ha! So yes there are other people with this problem. I too had it and here's how I fixed it.
Firstly, enable the backup battery icon, move it too position 1, i.e. the first icon on the today screen.
Then use a registry editor and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software
Spb Software House
Pocket Plus
Today Items
Pannels
00000
Modify the 'Action' string and change *backupbattery to *storagecard
Then tap&hold on the tab where you want the icon to appear, choose add/remove items and you will see Storage Card 1 Indicator, it can be enabled and will then show on the today screen. No problem.
I found that you can use this method to add multiple instances of the same indicators if you want.
NOTE that if you did not move the backupbattery icon to postion 1, then you will have to edit the string value at the appropriate position, it will be one the values 00000-00004
Cheerio
Thank you

Mate, you're just great!!! It works perfect, thanks for your support.
Just one question... how you managed to do this? I mean, how did you know the correct name was "*storagecard", just checked on a previous version of the software i guess...
thanks again
Heh heh, glad it's working for you guys.
I knew that the name would be storagecard, just from the formatting of the other names, I took a gamble I guess but I had a good idea it was correct. :lol:

This is not an error, it is a precise will of SPB.
When I wrote to them because of a problem of my version 2.1, they told me that on some machines this option created hard resets :shock: , so they decided to move it out in some following release. And here we are.
Well I've not had any hard resets, and I wanted the feature, mostly for appearance sake, as three small icons did not fill the width of the screen but four do!
I can image senarios that might cause problems with this icon, but it's down to programming, if SPB refresh the states too frequently, it will cause a performance overhead, and with any additional cards it causes i/o to check capacity.
There's no setting to adjust the refresh interval, but as I said I've not had any problems, and I did not see any release notes that talked about the removal of a feature!
Cheers

I agree with you, but this is what PocketPlus product manager told me
Of course they are not willing to advertise a loss of functionality, at least until they find another solution...

I install spb pocket plus 2.2 on iPAQ H6365, I realized a few problems been encountered. I sent a text message to someone, but he could receive the same message for up to 5 times intermittently, I won't realized that till the party mention it.
I'm not sure if you'd also know the remedy for this sickness
The fix to this has been posted several times on other threads, but all you have to do is add an exclusion to the "close button" enhancement for tmail.exe.
tmail.exe is closing before it's getting chance to send the whole text properly and is sending it more than once.
You should also be careful with enabling the SD card monitoring feature - it appears to be this that is causing the xda2 to lock up/die with no option to fix but to hard reset/remove battery (not spb's fault, it happens with other today plugins too). Apparently it's the hardware - this is why spb removed the functionality.
You may think it's running ok, but please don't be using your xda for anything life critical (e.g. mapping out someone's brain operation). Mine was fine for two months before it started displaying this behaviour!
rgds,
Alex.
That little fix for restoring the SD card monitor was mine, and when I looked SPB are now claiming that it may cause lockups on ROM Version 1.60
I'm on 1.72 and with this fix and SPB 2.2 I've no problems. Something about this issue could be done by SPB, one solution would be to include a refresh timer, aka Battery Pack. The issue with lockups can occur when the request for capacity is sent to the expansion card. This could happen when there is i/o on the card and thereby cause a possible problem.
All that said, I've *never* (yet!) had a problem with SPB 2.2
Thanks

NinjaDonkey, thanks for the guide on this, I just did the "Exception" on tmail.exe, with spb pocket plus 2.2. But do not know yet if problem would persist, guess wouldn't be.
Do you know whether it's using lots of memory in the today plug-ins as we customize to display many programs on the today screen? You know those with Main, Connection, System, etc... Especially in the system, it's by default been customized to display quite a few of programs/system programs, would this be a factor to slow down or cause a hang on the ppc? If your answer yes, then i guess i am going to remove those of un-needed ones.
Hi all,
I've learned that the StarTrek is able to boot the current kernel from the Linwizard project without any modifications. I've posted a video of this at http://vimeo.com/2114567. Before you get too excited, however, there's a few things to keep in mind:
The buttons aren't mapped correctly by default.
You need a networked computer to log in and do anything fun, for now.
If you're wondering about Android, the answer is "not yet".
I will do my best to address the important things here; what works, what needs tweaks to work, and (most of all) what needs attention. I will also, over the next day or two, try to post my findings regarding the button GPIOs collected from HaRET, kernel modifications necessary to fix a few things. etc.
Consider this post a call for help. I'm hoping this will encourage others to contribute toward more complete linux support on the phone. I personally am driven by the opportunity to dual-boot Android on the device, but I have much to learn and can't do this alone. So, if you have kernel experience and a StarTrek, here's your motivation to get hacking! (If you'd like to help, but don't have a device to test kernels on, I'm often in #xda-devs.)
Status (Let me know if there's anything missing here.)
Internal LCD - YES - Seems to work great.
External LCD - ? - Shows the device's default image. Not sure how to control this in linux.
Backlight - ? - Unsure. As far as I can tell, Linux will retain the brightness level being used when HaRET finished loading the kernel.
USB Networking - YES - Works like a charm.
Audio - ? - No idea. I don't know how to test this.
Cellular - ? - No idea, but I don't think it will necessarily come easily.
Buttons/Keypad - SOME - By default, the keys and buttons are mapped either incorrectly or not at all. The phone keypad and some of the special buttons type random keystrokes, since we are using the mappings for the Wizard. I have a modified board-htcwizard.c with correct mappings for the StarTrek I'll post really soon, as well as a list of the GPIO readings for many of the buttons. Unfortunately, the Up/Down/Left/Right/Select/End buttons function differently than the other, matrix-based keys. I have yet to discover how to configure them.
Camera - ? - No idea, but they don't even have this working on the Wizard (Linwizard's primary target device).
Light Sensor - ? - I wouldn't know where to begin. It barely works in WM, anyway.
MicroSD - YES - I can mount the MicroSD with no issues, full read/write. Even managed to open my photos in the GPE photo gallery on the device (launched over telnet).
X[\B] - YES - I am able to start X, by calling startx over the telnet connection. However, X will try to run a touch screen calibration before doing anything else, and this is a bit of a problem for us! Fortunately, on newer Linwizard versions, you can disable this by passing tslib=0 to the kernel (in the defaults.txt file you give to HaRET). GPE also seems to be running perfectly after X starts.
Problems - After a few idle minutes in linux, the screen likes to black itself out automatically, as per the design of Linwizard. Unfortunately, on the Star Trek, there seems to be no way to make the screen wake up. Telnet still works in this situation.
I promise to keep this post updated, and get my data together and uploaded soon. Please share your own results and tricks as they come along, and join me (and some talented people) in #xda-xevs and #htc-linux on irc.freenode.net. Happy hacking!
Attached:
arch/arm/mach-omap1/board-htcwizard.c - Contains key matrix mappings modified for StarTrek. Be sure to remove the ".txt" from the file extension before using.
default.txt - Used with HaRET to make Linux boot. The only thing unusual in here is the TSLIB=0 option that's passed to the kernel, telling linux to skip touchscreen-related tasks.
great work! but you need some advanced startrek owners to test linux - that's a big problem
Fantastic news! I' would really try it out. Unfortunatly my startrek's connector is damaged. I can charge the device, but I cannot connect with the pc. If I can use the micro sd card to install it(I think is possible) I will try it.
Thanks for the great job.

You can, by dropping Haret+default.txt+zImage+initrd onto the SD card. Unfortunately, without a USB connection, you won't be able to telnet into the device and run commands.
very interesting! Ive been waiting to hear this kind of news Unfortunately, I still use my StarTrek as my primary phone, so I can't test it out until it moves along a little further. I'll be sure to keep an eye on this thread, as this is good news!

Linux actually boots directly from a Windows Mobile program called HaRET; When you're done playing with Linux, you can just reset the phone and you're back to normal. No permanent changes.
awesome! I'll give it a go right now, thanks!

Are you volunteering your expertise on the subject?
The point of this post was to accomplish just that: to attract the interest of more people who can contribute. I'm in the process of setting up a repository of changes right now, so the patches I've made so far are kind of scattered about my hard drive for the moment. If you're interested, you can try catch me in #htc-linux or #xda-devs on irc.freenode.com. Otherwise, I'm trying to keep the post at the top of this thread up-to-date.
Unfortunatly Android cant work, it needs 128 ram.

Universal backlight fix / TomTom backlight fix
for WM5 & Up​
Hi guys! I just installed TomTom on my S740 and found it still has that annoying bug where the backlight keeps going off, so I decided I would write my own app to fix this problem.
It features completely transparent operation with backlight resuming normal function when the target app is not focused (i.e. when one minimizes TomTom), universal-ness so it can be applied to any app, lightweightness, and doesn't touch the system in any way.
In future, I may also expand it to support configurable key-to-key and key-to-mouse translation, to make some PocketPC-only apps usable also on the Smartphone.
For the interested, see all the details at the program's webpage.
And let me know what you think about it.
Thank you!
Thanks! I think it is a great idea!
I have been looking around for such app to keep the backlight always on when necessary - e.g. reading e-books, watching video and etc.
My feedback is it may be a little troublesome to do the link to each application you want to apply?
Is it possible to make it a background app, whereby when turned on it keep the backlight on always, but when turned off it revert back to the default setting in Power management.
Thanks.

I've put on my web page an easier semi-automatic procedure for creating the link, you just have to enter the path to the executable and the name for your shortcut, and download the ready-made .lnk file (be warned that it doesn't work with firefox, though, but it does with IE and Opera.)
I don't think it's so difficult and time-consuming now
There already are apps or mortscritps that do what you want, I.e. changing the systemwide setting, but it is exactly what I don't want to do: impose additional hassle on the user having to start/stop an app, and mess with registry and systemwide settings... I wanted LightJacker to be as invisible to the use as it could.
Hi there thenext1, I tried your app and the set up was fine and it works great, so thanks very much for that. I like the way it picks up the icon from the original app, this got me thinking that you could make an adaption of your app that just injected a new icon into a shortcut for any app and that is all it would do, just to change the icon for any app and nothing else, if you see what I mean, sorry to be a little off topic but just a thought. I have some apps that have horrible Icons I would like a simple way of adding my own Icon into a shortcut. "IconJacker"

That function is outside LightJacker's scope, anyway, you can try editing the .lnk file and changing the last path after the "?" mark to reflect a path to an .ico file on your phone, and editing the last number to be zero or remove it with the comma altogether.
I don't know if it will work.
Perfect idea! Sounds like a super program!! I have been looking for a feature like this!
A question: can it monitor several programs also? (e.g. Tomtom and igo and acrobat reader)? Seems like the shortcut generator can only support one program...

Just create a shortcut for each of your program.... be warned though, I didn't test multiple programs at once. It might not work.
Has anyone gotten this to work with an HTC Touch Pro? I've tried installing this - and after I create the shortcut, and click the master app I'm trying to keep lighted - I get the following error message:
"The file 'ljack' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
When I click on the ljack.exe file on it's own - I get the following message:
"LightJacker error 2"
I'd read that another program that requires a purchase, "smartlight" was incompatible with our phones, so I'm wondering if it's something unique to the Touch Pro.

Error 2 means that an incorrect command line was supplied - in your case, no cmd line at all.
The other error with the proper shortcut is a windows mobile generic error, and I don't know why it comes up, it should run fine as it does when start ljack.exe on its own....
Maybe your phone isn't fully app-unlocked?
A super idea for a program! however, a GUI would be nice....
command-line options are not very handy. And I think that is where the Error 2 comes from. I also had trouble using your .lnk maker.
Hmmm, your site seems to be down.
Any chance you could upload the cab here on xda?
Yes, I confirm...
I tried several times.... The website is dead since this morning. So, no chance to download this promissing application until now.
For a very similar app go here:
http://oldsap.blogspot.com/2009/02/dontsleep.html
there is a version which prevents the PPC from entering standby, and one that does it only while wifi is on. Also a great app!

You are right! Will investigate the problem.
@parkhaus: what'd be the GUI for?
I would love to have a program that keeps the backlight on when certain programs are running (Adobe reader, Tomtom, ebook reader, etc).
A menu for defining those programs would be great! making shortcuts for each program is a bit too complicated for most users.
A solution in MortScript you can find here
Note: knowledge of german language is required

An utility in .NET CF can be easily made, but I absolutely don't have any spare time to do it.
Or you can use the method provided by the above users, although it's the old method of changing values in the registry.
Thankyou very much, I needed an app like this for Memory-Map OS5 (App for Off-road satnav in the UK).
I don't suppose you use winmo 6.5 do you? I have another problem with that app in 6.5 where it has icons along the bottom like 6.5 does - however, as 6.5 changes the width of the icons at the bottom, I cannot see all the icons when in the app. If there is any chance you could also code something to alter the size of the bottom buttons whilst in a certain app, that would be even better!
There is a free trial @ http://www.memory-map.co.uk/ should you care to try and code this in.
OK, I used and tested this with TomTom and Memory-Map, and all seems good.
A couple of things, however.
As the size of the app is so small, why go around duplicating it?
Personally, I found that putting LightJacker in \Program Files\LightJack and then doing my app shortcuts like this:
107#"\Program Files\LightJack\ljack.exe" \Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe?TomTom Navigator.exe,101
Meant that I could:
a) Only keep one copy of lightjacker for multiple apps. If there is an update, you only need replace the exe and dll once.
b) Use the shortcuts anywhere. I have one shortcut in the start menu, and one in the app folder. That way, if you have to pick an app via a folder list that starts in the root, you do not have to navigate through the windows folder to get to the start folder, which takes ages
Working on Rhodium (ATT Tilt2 - WM 6.5)
This works on my Tilt2, but with the following tweaks.
The author's site recommends this format for the .lnk file, but this didn't work for me. It produced and Error 4:
123#"\Storage Card\Program Files\GoogleMaps\ljack.exe" GoogleMaps.exe?\Storage Card\Program Files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe,101
But using the format in the previous post, it works - the backlight stays on while this program is the front program, and the backlight dims properly when the program goes into the background or is shut down:
123#"\Storage Card\Program Files\GoogleMaps\ljack.exe" \Storage Card\Program Files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe?GoogleMaps.exe,101
The only thing not working is the icon. Following the advice on the author's site, I used Resource Hacker to find the Resource ID for the icon, which appears to be 800. But changing that in the link file stilll results in the link showing a generic icon.
Any suggestions on how to get the proper icon to show in the Start Menu for Google Maps?
Hi
For security reasons i am not allowed to have a camera phone in work. Is there any way possible that i can remove any software or icons which are camera related by maybe tweaking the registry or running a software program that will deactivate
it for me ?.
Obviously i will have to visibly make the camera look as if it is not able to take pictures but i would also like the additional feature of disabling the software.
Thanks in advance

using a file manager like resco file explorer, navigate to Start Menu\Programs\Multimedia and delete Camcorder and Camera,
this will remove the camera and camcorder shortcuts from your start menu
if you cant see them there, try showing hidden files... worked for me!
when i get home i can copy the links onto this post for you when you need them again..
or you could move the shortcuts onto a folder that wouldnt be looked at?
Tesh
Any further info is most welcome.
Thanks
I'm going to have to say that if it has the hardware they will not allow it. Just because you remove the software who's to say you can't reinstall it to have a functioning camera again.

As a government employee, that's correct. The rule is enforced based upon hardware, not software. Obviously, it will very from company to company, but usually it is based upon hardware.
I've successfully removed the camera icons as described in a previous post but from within "pictures and Video" and "Albums" it is still possible to take a picture.
Is there possibly a way to disable the camera by editing the registry ?.
I fully understand the technicalities of leaving the camera physically intact but i need your help disabling it software wise.
All suggestions appreciated.
regards
Before you go through all the trouble you might want to ask a higher up whether they will even let it fly . I have serious reservations about them allowing it.
I think I'd be tempted to leave the HD2 at home and just get yourself a cheapo
phone sans camera for work....
There will be times when you need your camera on the HD2,holidays,nights out,
updating your Tweets etc etc
in the registry, go to key:

Hi, Anybody knows if there is currently available a titanium panel for speedcam alerts?
If not, would anybody be willing to create one?
I have some ideas of how this could work, but I have no idea how to develop it..
here are some thoughts:
Condensed pannel:
- show the current speed and alerts from speedcams (when activated)
Activated pannel
1st page - on/off button and connectivity status
2nd page - current speed, speedcam proximity and alert, buttons to add and remove speedcam (2)
The speedcam information would come from a csv file loaded by the user..
something like this...
What do you guys think?
+1 great idea. Can't do it myself but hopefully someone can/wants.
Lets just hope that someone with developping skills take interest on this one..
Nobody interested in this?
up...
Would this be too complex to achieve?
guess not everybody knows what ur talking about ...
what is a speedcam? A camera to make highspeed videos (500 fps)?

I assumed this would be a known term.. This has nothing to do with the camera function of your mobile. It is related to the traffic cameras that takes pictures of your car when you exceed the speedlimit of a given street thus resulting in a traffic ticket.
Most GPS/routing applications (Garmin, Igo etc.) have the capability of showing alerts when you approach one (if you load the POIs for them). There are also some specific applications that also perform this function (RadarFree), however most are limited to a specific region and already have an automatic update function for the POIs of its speedcams locations which makes the app useless in other countries.
There are quite a few sites around the world that are currently tracking speedcam locations based on user inputs. These locations can often be downloaded on csv format (usually a few others as well) by everyone.
The idea of this pannel is to display the information you need straight from our homescreen without the need to open a different screen to load it, and also to allow the user to input his list of speedcams (this way it can be used in any country).
Let me know if there are still any doubts regarding this.
cheers.

whats the advantage of a titanium panel? This program will talk to you, and its worldwide, and FREE.

For one this application requires internet connection and you should have a reasonable data plan to be able to use it. Also this database isn't very updated in all countries.
The advantage of the pannel I'm suggesting is that it doesnt require an internet connection, the information will be easily displayed in your homescreen without the need to open an additional program which usually tends to lead to more RAM consumption, and you can use it anywhere you can download the information for.
Personally I see a lot of benefit in this when compared to the current solutions in place.
regards..
Another thing in comparison to trapster is that I don't need to see the map, I just want it to display the speed and the speedcam alerts. Such information would fit perfectly on a pannel in Titanium.
Try POI-Observer from navifriends.com
It's free, highly configurable, works standalone as well and will overlap any other window when approaching speedcam.
It's not however a Titanium panel but stays in background when no speedcam nearby.

Hi, Anybody knows if there is currently available a titanium panel for speedcam alerts?
If not, would anybody be willing to create one?
I have some ideas of how this could work, but I have no idea how to develop it..
here are some thoughts:
Condensed pannel:
- show the current speed and alerts from speedcams (when activated)
Activated pannel
1st page - on/off button and connectivity status
2nd page - current speed, speedcam proximity and alert, buttons to add and remove speedcam (2)
The speedcam information would come from a csv file loaded by the user..
something like this...

Thanks for the suggestion SaBo, although it does have some of the functions I'm looking for it is not a simple tool to use. I actually needed to read the manual to understand how it works, plus I feel that you have put to much work to get it running.
I rather use something simpler, and would still like to see it in titanium..
tks
starting to loose hope here... really thought this would be a good idea for lots of you ...
Well... can't have it all can we?
refresh...
Added a poll just to see how many would be interested in such app...
