Major Extended ROM modification help required - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Hi,
I am in the process of rolling out 20 XDA2's to staff and management in the company I work for as part of our remote email solution.
I have been playing around with the Exended ROM editing tools and I have successfully removed the O2 ActiveUI stuff and added in the special software that we need for the email solution. This is working great for us.
The main problem I have is that I want to further develop the rom so that it has the following...
Remove the O2 phone skin
Remove the O2 soft-reset splash screen
Add in the GPRS settings for our provider ( Vodafone Ireland )
Add in GPRS settings in other countries where our staff would be roaming to.
Change the 'start' menu to remove most of the options and to add the icon for our email sync software
Change the startup menu to remove the *flashMan.exe apps ( we want to ensure that permanent save is always disabled for security reasons )
If anybody has any pointers on how I can acheive all or any of these things then I'd greatly appreciate a reply.

what's the difference between wm6 and wm6.1

well I downloaded both roms wm6 and wm6.1 and I didn't notice any difference between them so can anyone plz tell me the difference
This from mobility today, personally I like my transformer 1.1 rom based on WM6 better than the 6.1 roms released so far.
Maybe its me but why is it that Microsoft takes such SMALL steps in updates. BoyGenius (way to go!) shows us the goods. Looks like the crew at Mobius got trumped since they got to see it too but couldn't share (whats new!)... Either way this is probably one of the WORST updates I have ever seen. The GUI is in no way more functional whatsoever! What are your thoughts?
Copy / Paste
Domain Enroll in Settings (Enrolling in a domain will connect your device with company resources.)
New home screen
Change Master Security Code
Added text input settings
Recent Programs when pressing Start menu
Threaded SMS - Finally.. Only two years late
When you compose an email, or SMS, and start typing the name of the contact in the "To:" field, the contact names finally pop up like Windows Mobile Professional!
Internet Explorer now lets you define a homepage, and also zoom in and out using a nice and clean interface
Task Manager now shows CPU usage as a whole, and also lists it by process
Internet Explorer offers 6 zoom modes and copy / paste functionality
IE also uses a new font, which looks worlds better
ActiveSync will now try to automatically configure your Exchange settings once you enter an email address
Wi-Fi indicator in the status bar, just as in Windows Mobile Professional
New "Vista" home screen and theme
That's about Windows Mobile 6.1 Smartphone Edition, nothing to do with the Prophet..
Yep but a lot of the above features are also true of the PPC version.

HTC Home & Java with UC Config

I think I'm getting the hang of setting up my SDConfig.txt and provisioning XML file to get my phone close to its as-desired condition after a clean ROM flash. DCD's tip to me about how to compare a before/after registry was most helpful. My question now is on the two procedures I'm finding the most difficult (or at least the most difficult to have confidence in the result).
First, I use HTC Home v2.1 along with Home Customizer v1.0final but would like my phone to come up with each of these completely configured as my phone currently stands. That means the correct tabs activated, the correct contact photos in the contact tab, apps in the launcher tab, custom weather cities, custom icons and so forth. I'd like these same settings to be reflected in the HHC app as well so that the next time I launch it to perform future customizations, it's in synch with the way I UC-Configured my HTC Home. I have the registry settings in hand from a before/after compare. However, I'm not sure which folders/files I should capture and then copy over to the phone in my provisioning file. If anyone can point me toward this info, I'd appreciate it.
Second part of this question is similar but for my Opera Mini v4.1 installation (using the JBed midlet manager). Is it possible to pre-install this via UC Config by just copying over the contents of \windows\appdb (I'm going from memory here) and whatever registry keys show up in the before/after comparison? Or are there other files elsewhere to worry about?
I'm looking forward to the day when a firmware update or hard reset appears to disturb none of my apps or system settings beyond clearing the PDA data and thus requiring a simple ActiveSync (and perhaps a *228 dial-in to Verizon).

Freeware - MemoMe a voice memo to your mail box

hi all,
====================================================================================
a new version is now available for android - go to google play
====================================================================================
after a long time where i had so many tips and software solutions from this community it is about time a put something back to it.
i have been looking for an application to allow me record a voice memo and send it to myself as a reminder with a voice clip attached.
found a commercial program that did not do it as i wanted so had decided to do it myself.
MemoMe is a light application that enables you to record your memo when you just got an idea or remembered something you do not want to forget, like when you drive or just do your shopping... it goes to your mail or your secretary mail etc. easy to use and configure. it supports all WM devices and all screens.
MemoMe uses any one of your existing email account so no data is passed on and your personal info is untouched, this is mainly for security reasons so no
one can use your smtp info or expose your user is & password.
as said it is offered as a freeware to all as a tribute to this wonderful comunity.
as per donations etc - is you feel like donating, please think of someone who really needs it like poor children etc or donate to charity.
a nice thank you is much more than i need.
http://download.arkom.co.il/freeware/MemoMe_Freeware.CAB
have fun...
OK, the first official release is now available for download.
change log from the pre - release:
- UI was completely changed.
- many internal engine changes
- sound effects were added
- the send engine was totaly changed and due to security reasons there is no direct SMTP support at all. the only mechanism supported is sending the Memo using the internal outlook engine. any existing account can be used and the configurator shows all available options. in the older version there was a need to provide your SMTP server, username and password - not very good for security...
this way no sensitive data is stored to be a potential risk.
if i will find a way to use a public service or any other option were no info will be stored i will consider.
setup & update procedure:
just download one of the setup packages either EXE or CAB and install it
if you have installed any older version i recommend you uninstall it and delete the folder to make sure nothing is left behind
run the config utility and just follow the few selections and save.
very easy to use and nothing to write a manual for
now you can use the MemoMe app and enjoy !
for any questions or requests or ... just let me know
may you all have a great weekend
=============== 16/09/2009 ================ Version update ==========================
there is an update available for download at the same links above
ChangeLog:
- AutoPilot: it is now possible to set the app to load in auto pilot mode where it does not show all 4 buttons etc. the app loads directly in recording mode where there is one big stop recording button on screen. tapping the stop recording button will automatically send the memo and exit.
naturaly the standard mode is also available - look at the configurator screen...
- SoundCompress: there is an option to dramatically compress the memo file sise (for internet air time saving) a typical 300 KB file will be ~20KB (!!), of course voice quality will be a slightly lower... but realy not too much
- Splash screen time is neerly nothing now on the AutoPilot mode...
- Configurator is automatically loaded if first run or no INI. no need to exit and run configurator...
- internal engine modifications...
- no change in pricing model - this is still the same - free
in spite of huge interest from mobile operators to use it as an embedded application to increase data the application will stay freeware.
will be glad to have your comments (and wish lists)
===================================== 19/12/2009 ================================
a new version is now available for download - 1.5.0
- a major UI change was done and major internal engine
- the audio quality is well kept but can now bw compressed
- you can now select a differentrecording time by just entering your rec time value in seconds
- any device - any OS version - any screen resolution
this is the last and final freeware version as the application will now go to its commercial phase with many more features.
for most of us this basic version is exactly what we need...
=======================Version update to 1.5.1 =============== January 20 2010 ======================
a new version is available from the link above
- time recording bug - fixed
- compression bug fixed
- added indicators for compression mode and time recording / time left
====================== version update to 1.6.0 ================== Jan 23 2010 =======================
new version, answering to most requests
change log:
1. audio engine completly renewed - now normal audio will go as WAV and compressed as OGG
2. in AutoPilot you can pause and resume as much as you like. don't forget to set the option in config...
3. the app can now hide for faster reload - set in config...
4. you can set the subject - allow in config...
5. minor internal fixes
note: if you use soundFX you will get a beep in audio file every time you pause so you can know where you paused
if it is not wanted stop soundfx in config
enjoy...
enjoy !
Help me with Setup
Hi, I am having problems sending to my mailbox I am not sure of the smtp address, could you help with the setup if its not too much trouble, I am using windows live mail........................Thanks for the neat apps
currently the application supports 2 options of sending your Memo:
1 - using your SMTP information where you will have to enter your SMTP server, User & Password and to mark the Authentication if your server requires (most do).
2 - using your AS pocket outlook. if your device is configured to sync your email using pocket outlook (means your outlook can send / receive email) and the default account name is ActiveSync, that option will send the meno using this account. so when you next manually Send/Recv or it performs an automatic Send/Recv according the time intervals you specified.
the nextversion will ofer a different mechanism - either you use your outlook and by this BTW you dont even have to know or provide your SMTP info or the application will directly send using a special set SMTP account I will provide it internally.
i hope by this weekend i will have sometime so i will update the application, in the download server there is a "fresh" version - with fresh user interface that is the final UI from now i will update the functionality only -
- it will allow taking a photo, add a memo to it and send
- it will allow sending to third party as well
and the "wish list" is getting longer and longer as other guys are also sending feedbacks with ideas...
one thing will remain - as much it will be further developped i will keep it free, that's my obligation to this great community that provided me with so many free applications so far
Thanks for the information I will wait for you updated version, btw great work and thanks
you can now go back to the first post - i've updated the post (and app)
Thanks for the update..I didn't notice any changes in the UI, I got the same UI as the previous ver... there were some changes in the configuration.. didn't see any option to take a photo either maybe I downloaded the wrong file?????
oh, i see.
you probably downloaded the temporary version.
the previous version had a simple blue backgroung and the white one with rounded buttons was just added, but that is not your problem
the version available now is the latest one (last night) and is final (before the next one )
as i said the next version will have the camera option and more, it was important to get to a final look and functionality before going to futuristic features.
trus me that the next version will not take years ( it is under design right now but i have my real day job to attend first, this is only a hobby)
keep on and buzz me if you need anything
Thanks a lot, this ver works for me just finishing testing
good, i'm happy.
enjoy it and please send feedbacks on your experience
comeback to see if there is a newer version
send your friends too...
BTW - what device you use ?
very impressed....
tested ..MemoMe ..on my blackstone with standard rom ,working very ..very smooth for me ..!
for me, it is very handy, for reasons, you also set out and more ( if you just want to be a bit lazy, in typing short email ,this is it ! )
thank you
thanks Willcor, really pleased to hear that.
it did not come out of being lazy it came out of a real need - say you are driving or just walking, you just remembered something or were told something you do not want to forget... i operate it over a voice command so when i drive i just call the app by its name - record and send...
next will come as said a photo attachment so you will be able to take a pic add comment and send.
next will come third party reciever...
and i hope to add a voice recognition to so you can dictate...
have fun

of course - if you record and not send or the sending failed the memo is still stored in memory - usually the file is in the program folder so easy to find.
next time you run the app you can listen to the record and send
if you try to record when there is an unsent memo you will get a worning and then can choose to overwrite or go back...
Using it on my touch diamond2, it works like a charm, thanks!
just two simple questions:
1) does it sync with outlook?
2) can the voice memos be attached as tasks?
thanks a lot for your fine work!
two simple answers:
1) if you meant pocket outlook - the answer is yes - it uses outlook to post your email to yourself. if you meant pc outlook - no need to as your pocket outlook should sync to your desktop. MemoMe then sync to pocket
2)no. the voice memo goes as an attached file via email to your inbox, that's what it says in first place.
Nice software.
But
When Sound Effects are off it still plays some sound when it starts, buttons pressed etc.
If you wait until max recording time in pilot mode it hangs. It draws blue line till screen end. You press hand button. Button become a clock. It again draws blue line till screen and hangs.
oops, i will check it out ASAP
anyways there's a new version in the oven just about to be ready
thanks any how for your comment
That is great - I'll wait for new version
Could you implement pause button? So one could start recording, press pause and then continue recording to the same file?

Techie Questions

Hi guys,
Just got my Mozart yesterday and trying to get it to work with my work network.
Questions as follows:
A)- Anyone managed to configure and gain access to their own private APN? - I've entered the settings into mobile network options but it doesn't see it.
B)- How is one supposed to go about installing security certificates (for the likes of exchange)?
thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Just been on the phone to orange
Answer to A is that these devices will only connect using CHAP authentication (instead of the PAP standard the previous WM devices used to connect with!) - Fed this back to orange as an issue.
Just need to sort out the certificates problem now!
Get yourself a 3rd party certificate from GoDaddy. only £50 for a multiple site licence for a year! Then you won't need to install your locally signed certificate
thanks for the input mate.
Orange recommended emailing the certificates to myself (The test hotmail Live account) - gunna try that first once I sort all the proxy crap out lol
B) emailing worked for me, I actually followed the instruction in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8929240&postcount=4
Yep. E-mail certificate, install. Make sure you reboot phone.
yeah that worked for me 2 - thanks guys.
I emailed the certificates to the hotmail live account and just installed them from there. Exchange then sync'd up fine.
i can't believe though that microsoft have launched WP7 without MS Office Communicator! - I tried to download it but can't find it in the app store....
Just makes me wonder how the heck we are going to deploy these devices with all these limitations.... i.e. No PAP support, no communicator, no business applications (without market place!) - means for businesses the HD2 and Touch Pro2 devices are still more suited.
I hope Microsoft don't make too many concessions for the consumer market leaving all us business users behind....heres looking forward to Chassis 2 development starting, and a decent device management solution....

kiosk mode

Hello everybody,
I need help to build a device for medical purpose, the device is composed of a tablet and some external accessories.
The device needs to be in - what I understood is called - kiosk mode, i.e. only my app must be running on the tablet.
To do so, I built an app as launcher, made it the default one. Even so, is still possible to access the settings, the task manager and the phone?
I need to provide the user with the possibility to only use my app, and access the settings of Wifi, and to unlock the pin of the sim to use GPRS but not phone calls. How can I do this?
- I was thinking of modify the Settings apk (to leave only the entry I need)
- I was thinking to remove status bar and home buttons
- I do not know how to prevent phone calls, sms, etc
I have a samsung p3100, on which I installed the last version of cyanogenmod .
Any help is really appreciated.
thanks
