Progams in StartUp, What do they do? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Dear All,
Does anyone know what do the programs in the StartUp Folder do?
I have just hard reseted my XDA-II and I found following links in this folder
1. AFlashMan.lnk
2. BPInsert.lnk
3. BTIcon.lnk
4. CFlashMan.lnk
5. CheckAutoRun.lnk
6. HandsFree.lnk
7. IA_Caller_ID.lnk
8. MMReg.
9. NFlashMan.lnk
10. poutlook.lnk
11. SMSReceiver.lnk
12. Socket SDIO WLAN.lnk
13. stk.lnk
14. TFlashMan.lnk
15. USSD.lnk
These links are relative to the executed programs in Windows folder with the same names, some of them I can guess for example
HandsFree-Support HandsFree Calling.
IA_Caller_ID-Identify the Caller in Contacts
SMSReceiver-Send and receive SMS
Socket SDIO WLAN-Support Card SD Wi-Fi
BTIcon - The Bluetooth Manager Icon at the bottom right.
But what do the others do?? (What do the ?FlashMan.exe do???)
I deleted All the links that I dont khow what they do and it seems to me that nothing happned. Did I do the right?
Please comment
Thanks!

I think! the ?flashman.exe are the individual programs used to backup things to the non-volitale ROM.
AFlashman.exe = Appointments
CFlashman.exe = Contacts
TFlashman.exe = Tasks
NFlashman.exe = coNnections
Why they made this 4 seperate process is beyond me, I removed the ones I don't use, (I only backup the contacts). BPInsert I've also removed, doesn't seem to hurt Bluetooth.
MMReg = is probably Mutlimedia Messaging registration
poutlook = I think your address book, (something to do with that)
stk = is the SIM card toolkit, (you need it to run the SIM tools like syncing
USSD = I don't know that one myself?

Wow!
There's a lot of programs in the startup folder on your machine!
I only have:
aFlashman.lnk
cFlashman.lnk
clear_notify.exe
IIWPO_startup.exe
PhonExt.lnk
PocketNav.lnk
poutlook.lnk
Does anyone know if this means I won't have full functionality of my XDA?
(It's an XDA I - RS 4.21 ROM 4.01.16 (Tmobile))
I'm sure I remember having handsfree.lnk in there before I did the upgrade. What's happened to it? Should I be worried?

Hi all,
I hope i'm wrong, but you shouldn't have messed up with those links especially the ?flashman.exe as i believe they are responsible for the ROM to RAM flashing upon soft reset.
note: the number and names of the .lnk files are different between the XDA I and XDA II due to the additional s/w on XDA II (BT and WiFi for example)

As far as I know those FlashX files are for backing up contacts, tasks and appointments to non-volatile memory...
AFlashman.exe = Appointments
CFlashman.exe = Contacts
TFlashman.exe = Tasks
NFlashman.exe = coNnections
So if you don't use the Permanent Save feature (on Control Panel) you can safely delete them from the startup folder.
Best regards,
Rayan

IIWPO_startup.exe = Anti-theft program
xFlashMan.lnk = processes to synchronize u're contacts, calendar, tasks... in ROM (non-volatile backup)
poutlook.lnk = pocket outlook process (necessary for pocket word & excel)
SMSReceiver.lnk = process to monitor SMS reception & save incoming SMS in DB
stk.lnk = SIM Toolkit
USSD.lnk = the GSM service (monitors incoming calls, dialing numbers, etc...)

poutlook.lnk = pocket outlook process (necessary for pocket word & excel)

Actually this has to do with the permanent save - you can delete it and still synchronize with the PC & use tasks/contacts etc. At least I did ..

poutlook.lnk = permanent save?
i never knew about that! :?
are you sure its safe to terminate this process??? :roll:

poutlook starts up with 1 thread and is responsible for everything that occurs in tasks contacts and calendar. poutlook starts at least 1 new thread for each when they are started for the first time. I do not think it has anything to do with permanent save. If you kill it or send it a WM_CLOSE it ends along with the contacts, tasks and calendar with no apparent other side effects. I would like to know how it has anything to do with word and excel, they are pword.exe and pxl.exe for the process names. Ending the process for the flashman's has varying results. Sometimes the whole ppc freezez up. Sometimes the current window continues but once the app closes the os freezes.
Dose anyone know if there is somewhere in the registry where a list all non os exe file names or paths is?

Notes in tasks doesn't save!

Ok, so I was at school today and typed in some to-do work as tasks. For example Read these pages: blabla. And when I came home the tasks was the re but totally empty?!
I tried adding the notes again but it just doesn't want to save them. I have tried soft resetted the XDA.
Have somebody experienced the same problem and know what to do?
There is a bug in the OS, I think, that doesn't save the note of the task if you don't hold down the OK button for 3 seconds.
That's odd. My friends XDA will save notes, but he can't delete them when he's finished! It says that the file is in use.
I had the problem once. - i.e. not saving new tasks.
I think it was a fault in my pocket outlook database.
I'm not sure, but I think the solution I found was exporting and re-importing the outlook data on the desktop, then re-synchronising over all the databases.

[POLL] which new app is most desired by YOU?

Please read these 5 ideas I have and then make a vote to the app you would love to use the most and would most likely donate towards serious (and opensource!) development. If you are unclear about anything, please ask before voting! Thanks.
1. Better FaceBook Sync - like BookSync, but instead of being restricted to Facebook's ToS it would use the html interface to additionally sync these infos:
* Sync all friends photos with captions tags and comments for offline browsing.
* Phone numbers
* Email addresses (yes, I am aware it's a .gif)
* Addresses
* Facebook Events (and Friends' events)
* as well as profile pics (high res), date of birth (for birthday reminders), name (girls who marry update on your phone instantly)
* option to only silently sync when using wifi (and of course, only updates get pulled down)
2. Better Lock - replace the default WM 6.x security lock feature where you enter a PIN every 24 hours or so, with a much more friendly AND more secure version:
* Incremental Challenge/Response: Have your PIN as 8 or so digits but every 12 hours or so (configurable) it will ask for just 1 digit ("Enter the 4th digit of your PIN"). Enter it wrong and it'll ask for 2 digits now. Wrong again.. 4 digits and so on. Additionally, every 24 hours or so, ask for extra digit.
* While locked, allow for basic functions such as wifi on/off, email/text/call anyone already in address book, turn device off, allow reading of texts that contain a magic password (so owner can communicate with "thief").
* Button to show owner info (incase it's lost) with sub-button to call owners emergency contact number
* 3 invalid attempts = phone texts and calls emergency number and/or integrates with RemoteTracker
3. Better Marketplace - like Microsoft Marketplace and AppToDate merged with improvements
* Microsoft Marketplace requires each dev to upload and maintain thier app (never gonna happen with 100% esp abandoned but still useful apps)
* AppToDate is abandoned? Last update 2008..
* Allow free software only!!!!
* Allow trusted mods to upload apps on behalf of devs, making this BetterMarketplace very comprehensive
* UC compatible & allowing user to record installed apps to our server so after hard reset you can enter user/pass and automagically get all your favourite apps installed
* Compatibility Matrix: only apps that work on your phone are displayed (eg, qvga/vga and wm5/wm6 and so on)
* Popularity Contest: rank apps based on usage in total minutes. This way, only the truly useful apps get to top of list
* Install via web.. using your user account, you can click to install from the Web interface... and your ppc will amazingly start to install it! ppc application interface will exist too ofc.
4. Mobile Proxy - a http proxy on your phone that modifies your web experience via plugins ideas such as:
* Google Maps Mobile - allow supercaching.. which means remember map segments forever on SD card. Perhaps even precaching your area.
* Windows Live Messenger - allow use of MSN when offline. I often turn my phone on/off often and drives friends insane as they see me go offline..online..offline..online. To solve this, this proxy plugin could re-route MSN protocol via our desktop computer so that a) we can sign into multiple locations, something the ppc app doesnt support yet and b) we can receive and view messages we missed while ppc was offline, same for sending msgs could be queued.
* Ad blocker, flash blocker, javascript blocker
* Send custom headers to custom http servers (to fake/force mobile or desktop view per site)
5. Email Redefined - not too sure about my competence to pull this one off though.
Instead of receiving a torrent of email to my device, half of which I don't care about, separate emails into 3 distinct channels:-
1. General crap. When received has no notification, not even a number next to the titanium email plugin.
2. From humans not in my address book. New senders get an instant reply asking them to complete a captcha if they want my mobile to buzz.
3. From friends who are in my address book. I would get a sound played, much like a 'new SMS' sound, and titanium would show "1" next to email.
* If possible with Mobile Outlook, treat facebook inbox-messages as emails.. so buzz, play a sound, and allow reply (via fb).
* If possible (might cost the user), add email push facility whereby the phone receives a hidden SMS text when you have a new email worthy of a beep/buzz, wakes up (but with screen still off and device locked), connects to data (wifi/3g, as configured), gets the email, then beeps/buzzes.
Better Facebook and Marketplace definitely! Those are a must!
Can't decide between Marketplace and Proxy. I LOVE your ideas for marketplace, but I've been wanting to sign into multiple locations since I've had IM on my phone. I hardly ever sign into my IM's because of it. I think I'm going with Marketplace with Proxy being a close second.
Bump (1 of 2).
It would be useful if some of you could post a reply like the above 2 people did too.. as it seems voting in a poll does not bump this thread.. (a forum bug imho). Also useful if anyone can point out competition (free or payware) to each and any of my ideas, unless already mentioned. Thanks!

Better FaceBook Sync all the way......

Email tab in sense not working

When I receive an email, the email tab shows "1" but when I go to the tab and press the screen to bring it up, it does the movement animation to acknowledge I'm pressing the screen but doesn't take me to the email...
I can only access them via start/email which is a pain...
This only started this morning...
I deleted all my emails thinking it may be a limit on stored emails but still doesn't work...
Any help?
Same problem here
I managed to fix it by a hard reset, but it came back a few hours later...
Any idea what is causing it?
I had that the other day, thankfully all I had to do was soft reset.
No idea what caused it, never happened before, its been ok since.......
Got some more info
I managed to attach to manila.exe using VS2008 & AS.
Every time I press on an email, this is what is comming out to the output window:

Does it tell anyone anything?
I will try to obtain a similar working device to compare th output, but I am not sure how soon I will be able to do that...

Found a solution
following the instructions here:
archive/index.php/t-600195.html
about pressing start, then soft lock on left down solved the problem (for now).

Eli.
That worked...but...
Eli - thanks for that. It worked on my HD2.
However, I'm not getting email through as I'd expect. I have two email accounts. One is gmail and the other is from my ISP - but is basically a wrapper around gmail. If I use a browser and log in to webmail I can see several unread emails, but when I send/receive from my HD2 they don't appear and no error message is displayed.
A second problem, probably related is that when I press Start>Email, rather than opening the email config tool it opens my inbox.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Ian.

Two Major Problems in HD2 with WM6.5

Dear All,
I have two major problems and need urgent help:
1) Lack of storage memory:
My HD2 is new and I`ha installed very less applications (keyboard, resco manager, GARMIN GPS).
I have moved all my pictures, video, musics and etc to STORAGE CARD. But now 76% of my STORAGE MEMORY is full and I can't send files via bluetooth on it. When I checked found following large files:
a) My Device\Application Data\HTC\HTC Album 21 MB
b) My Device\Application Data\GoogleMaps 25 MB
These two folders totally has 26% of my STORAGE MEMORY. What can I do to free more memory? for now and in the future also.
2) Problem connecting ActiveSync to Microsoft Exchange Server to receive Emails:
I order to receive my work place emails on my HD2 in every place with WiFi, I added an account to my outlook in HD2. Also I got the license file from the mail server admin and installed on HD2 and I can see the certificate in ROOT certificate list.
But the activesync can't connect to server and it says "waiting for network". In the "status", says "the server could not be reached ..." with the error code "0x80072efd".
I have checked SSL connection (selected). Also when I go to the following address:
ActiveSync => Menu => Configure Server => Next => Next => E-mail => Setting => Advanced => Choose Certificate
there are no certificates in the list and no place to add any one.
Now What can I do for these two annoying problems?
Can anybody help me to get rid of them?
Thanks in advance
No one has solution?
39 views and no answer???? :-(
I can help with 1 not 2
Access the phone from your pc, copy and paste the Album infor to the SD card, that works - it may work with google maps, not sure as on 6.5 I used IGO8 from the SD Card

Thanks bro,
The first solution, I will find the fix and install
The second solution, I did so but no use
;-(
For problem 2:
From your description it seems like connectivity rather then a certificate problem.
1. Does synching mail work properly for any other workplace colleagues that are using "Activesync" on their phones. If yes it's not the certificate.
2. The window location you described; "ActiveSync => Menu => Configure Server => Next => Next => E-mail => Setting => Advanced => Choose Certificate"; - is for using public/private keys to encrypt mail. It is not relevant unless it's a requirement by the business. In which case you would contact your helpdesk.
3. Browse to google AND run a search for something; for example: "the ocean". This is just a check to make sure you have connectivity. Do this from a cellular data {3G,GPRS} connection (if you use) and then turn the phone data connection off and WiFi on. Run the same test.
4. Does the phone have a telco/carrier branded ROM? In many cases they can feed traffic through proxy servers. I've seen correctly configured phones fail to sync mail because either a Wifi/Cellular (sometimes both) traffic gets fed through a proxy.Sometimes the only way to fix it is to change the connection configuration via GUI if your luck or registry edits if your not.
If 1, 2 & 3 checkout & tick all the boxes, post back and you should get some help.

Pocket Outlook 2003 hast gone Kaputt !

I have a strange problem here, haven't seen it mentioned yet on the forums.
Calendar: creating and editing appointments gives "An unexpected error has occurred in this program".
Tasks: when I create a new task, it appears OK, but if I close and restart Tasks, the changes vanish! When I tick-off a task, I get the error "No program memory available".
Contacts: creating or editing contacts gives "No program memory available"
I am able to view entries without problems, but completely unable to create or edit...
There is plenty of memory available, 25MB storage + 50MB program. All other applications working ok, including Notes.
I have guessed that the problem might be in the Outlook databases.
I have tried:
1. Soft reset - no change
2. Restoring ROM backup - no change
3. Deleting the ActiveSync partnership and overwriting the device databases - no change
4. Hard reset - fixes the problem, But comes back as soon as I restore from ActiveSync backup. Sadly the only backups I kept were after the problem arose.
5. Deleting the Outlook databases using PHM PowerToys - but half of them I couldn't get rid of because "another application was using them", though apparently nothing else was running. Deleting the ones I could gave no change.
I DON'T want to do a hard reset and start again from scratch, because I lose a lot of data that will be hard to restore. E.g. a few very important progs that I haven't got the installers for, my SMS messages, the phone call history + timers, GPRS and network settings, and a huge number of program configurations, including photo contacts database, transcribe settings etc. (don't know of a way to back these things up).
I have an XDA2 (Himalaya/xscale/128MB) running PocketPC Windows Mobile 2003 Phone Edition. Please help! :x ผลบอลสด
