This is bugging the heck out of me.
On my WM 6.1 roms this fix is implemented but i have yet to see it in the smartphones. Is there a way?
I would like to keep an install cabs directory on my wife's micro sd but i can't seem to find a way to stop it from deleting the cabs after i install them.
(I may just not be wording my searching correctly but any help would be appreciated)
Mine stay put after install. Check your registry key named nDynamicDelete @ HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\
Mine has a value of 2. You can also use CabInstl instead and have the option to select where to install and when to delete or not.

Let us know how that goes but also you can change
HKCR\cabfiles\shell\Open\Command\(default) = \Windows\wceload.exe "%1"
TO
HKCR\cabfiles\shell\Open\Command\(default) = \Windows\wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete
Thanks!

Just make your cabs "read only" and then they won't get deleted. No registry edit required.
Hi all,
I was trying to modify the ActionMenu that pops up when you slide the querty out. This is on a HTC S740, but I suppose it would be the same for all HTC devices with a slide out keyboard. My intention was to edit it in a way that option nr. 3 (messenger) brings up a different messenger than WLMessenger, as I never use this one.
My findings so far are that the information to the links are stored in a dll called ActionMenu in the windows folder. I was able to open it with notepad, however editing the path for the messenger somehow broke the whole dll so ActionMenu won't pop up at all anymore when sliding the keyboard open. I also tried editing it with XN Resource Editor, but there nothing is displayed. So for now I am at my wits end.
Maybe someone else could help out here? Would truly be appreciated.
Regards,
.-ombre-.
Dll is a compiled library and therefore a binary file... If you would like to edit it this brute way you should use hex editor and only REPLACE links. That means, new link must have the same lenght as the old one and none of bytes should be moved. Then obviously, final file must have the same size as the old one.
Anyway, then it mustn't work either.
yeah, thats something I tried in the meantime and no, that doesnt work either..
Oh well..
This a small application I wrote to automatically retrieve the DeviceID on your PC without having to open the registry editor. It can also create the DeviceID.txt file with the id value stored. It's written in Java so it requires JRE to be installed (most of you already have this)
http://rapidshare.com/files/403680176/DeviceID.jar.html
Make sure you have Sony Ericsson Update Service installed otherwise the device id will not be created in the registry
UPDATE: App updated to show all Device Ids stored in the registry
still dont work for me
windows 7 x64
It's been downloaded too many times (10) for a Free Rapid Share account, it is no longer downloadable, you'll have to upload elsewhere

As you can see I have more Strings in the registry ?
Whats your methot of determining which is the right one as they all show different DeviceID Strings ?

I always get the first one, there is no way afaik to determine which one is getting used at any point. I can maybe change it so that it displays everything and lets u select the one you want to use
Well the point's not what I want to use, it more what's the right one at time of flashing. Is it save to delete those keys so the right one is rebuilt inn case of reconnecting the device ?
it's really not easy to find which one is being used at any point. i don't know if it's safe to delete them from the registry, although i would suspect that it is. just make sure you use the same usb port whenever you flash. that way you avoid overcomplications with this issue
THX for the info. I'd try to find out the right one.
In my case it was the second key found, not the first!
So this tool does not work for everyone.
Hi guys,
as I've been around for a while, I decided to share a bit of my work with you, too.
So feel free and use this small program if you like. No warranties as usal from my side.
This Bootmanager has a quite intuitive UI. You get an quick overview of the phone status and can select your boot profiles which you can manage inside the UI as you like (see screen shots below).
Additionally you can have voice announcements, SenseUI control, easy backup & restore of startup folder and program settings and an extended information screen. On this info panel you can find all important information about your phone.
This app only requires .NET CF 3.5 to be installed on your device.
The Pattern of the folder structure is always "\_AutoStart_" & selected Foldername. You can change the folder names in the UI settings tab. The folder "_AutoStart_Backup" is created by the program if you back up your current folder. All other "_AutoStart_" & X folders are created initially, but you want to choose which startup links are in there (folder names are case sensitive!). Just ensure the "X" matches your folder name in the ui settings for this specific button exactly. The default buttons are for Sense UI and XDAndroid. Their respective folder names (in the settings tab) are "Sense" and "Android", therefor I have "_AutoStart_Sense" and "_AutoStart_Android" folders on the root of my phone. In the "_AutoStart_Common" folder you have all the shortcuts which have to start no matter which profile is selected.
Tipp:
I have overclocked my device continously (stable) using this method (with this App) and with SmartBoot I can easily select between OC and non-OC configurations.
For your convenience this Windows Mobile® freeware app supports AppToDate, an easy to use application update program. You can obtain it freely from here.
Please download from Post #2.
Thanks to eboelzner for his great Sense SDK!
Download:
Download SmartBoot only here please. (Please no mirrors or similar!)
Please feel free to leave a comment or bugs found.
PS: I will not provide any localization support. Just english language.
If you want I can create a "Light" Version without sounds and stuff, just mention it.
Also if there is demand for it I could create a step-by-step guide.

But maybe somebody finds it useful, I just thought I could share. Enjoy!

big thank
Thanks, good idea & pretty app. I'll try it.
thanks, look like a very powerful and useful program.
downloading is a bit slow, but smooth.
This promises to be a great app.
Would you consider adding a "safe mode" boot option with it? Just wondering.
And thank you very much for sharing.
hello guys. what is XDAndroid? sorry for being a noob
Thank you for your kind feedback

You currently have two options for a safe mode:
1. Tap "Do nothing" at the initial screen (will exit immediatly -> no boot programs)
2. go to settings and enable "Confirmation", then click the button of your desired boot environment (and you can decide on each short cut -> safe mode).
@All: Thanks for your kind feedback! You are welcome!
PS: If you choose option 2 from above and tap no for at least one shortcut, you will get an "Ooops! Something went wrong!" message at the end.
You can ignore this, as it simply means not all shortcuts got executed.
Where is this app made? Itsn't really clear to me

I've got the same problem.
Hi AndiCP,
i think you have forgotten the xml file. I mean: \Application Data\SmartBoot\Configuration.xml
I have made a empty file. Then the message is:
Fehler: There is an error in XML document (0, 0).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OK, that's clear.
Next point: you have written that you support only english, no problem.
But Fehler in the popup's is german . Please fix it. And also upload an XML file please.
Also the \_AutoStart_ folders are not created automaticly. Is this the way how should be?
Have we to do this on our own, or is this a litlle bug we have found ?
BTW:
i have allways installed the right .NET version from MS.
EDIT 1:
you say on your private website that the folder names are case sensitive.
Then it must be: _AutoStart_Backup
In your screenshot: _Autostart_Backup
Sorry to say that the app is NOT working on my phone at this moment.
And i'am not alone. There are more people with problems. Please fix it.
At least sense gives problems on restart the phone.
I had to de-install the good idea app. Also some strange problems
on de-installtion. It was not possible. Only with many know how
i was able to de-install it.

Hello twoply and mr.First,
your program error probably comes from a different Startup folder or restricted access to it.
I can't reproduce this error, but I guessed and put an additional entry into the registry ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SmartBoot\Autostart_Folder").
If your folder is not "\Windows\AutoStart\" you can enter another path there.
I also added a reg key to customize the initial sound file ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SmartBoot\Sound_Load").
Please download the updated version.
Further you don't have to softreset in order to try or set things up, just go to your start menu and use the shortcut.
Finally I hope this helps you, please report your results here.

Hello mike2nl,
first of all "Fehler" means "Error".
Second, "Configuration.xml" not found comes from the SmartBoot Directory not being created properly. (Bug: Updated version 1.01 fixes this, then you will also have all the other folders created automatically on first launch).
Third, "AutoStart" is correct whereas in the screen shot you saw before was a left-over of an earlier version, which doesn't matter, because if it wouldn't be found it will be created during backup process anyway.
Last but not least, I can say nothing about "strange problems".
Thanks for your feedback!
Please download the updated version 1.01 or just run AppToDate
Hi AndiCP,
thanks for your fast reaction. I will test it again now. Downloaded and then install it. Will report later here....
EDIT 1:
after installing the app and two times a soft reset the app blocks sense more then once. Strange...
I had to de-install the little app. This was an adventure again. All known ways are not working.
Only massive working in the windows folder and registry cleaning has helped out of that issue.
On which system you have developed thius app? If there something special done for the SonyEricson?
EDIT 2:
after re-install the application i had denite the folder move for the autostart things. Strange, because
then the app will workig. If i have selected Sense UI i get an error message:
Ooops, something went wrong
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is this normal? Why you say it is something went wrong? But so far so good. Will test further now.
EDIT 3 (info only):
i have changed the autostart folder in the cab from \Windows\Auto Start to \Windows\Opstarten (dutch version)
EDIT 4 (question):
Have we to copy the apps/shortcuts for the \_AutoStart_xxx\ folders on uor own?
- if the answer yes, no problem (i think thats the way for now)
- if the answer no, then is something wrong
Possible you can think about that issue for a future version of your helpfull app.
Further i think you must add the descirption from your private website here to the first post:

Thank you for updating application.
Indeed, my Startup folder has another name. I changed the path in the registry, and now everything works.

to Edit 1: I can't reproduce and never had something like that, sounds like you have problems in your rom anyway as you are the only one reporting this.
Info: Its a simple and standard setup cab (auto generated). Nothing special or changed, it only copies the files. It works the same way on every windows mobile version.
to Edits 2&3: as I said, please check your Autostart folder and change it accordingly.
to Edit 4: Yes. I won't ever include a filemanager!
Hi AndiCP,
i have downloaded the last version yesterday. Installed it and it is running.
At now withour any issue. I think the changings are the solution. But with
un-installation i have my issues. Also when sense is off. But that is not
really a big issue, yet. I will test this again after the next hard reset.
I think this comes with the next CHT test. We, the team, are really haevy busy .
So far, excellent app, that helps me to organize my startup issues on all
CHT (e, s, ...) issues. Thanks for that. That brings us a good effort.
Will report this to co0kie (CHT) and Dark Ninja (GTX).
BTW:
possible you can tell me (PM) where you get or has made the sound files.
I will change something for my needs
I have been trying to change the Google option under Just Type to use google.co.uk on my Touchpad (in the UK).
After a bit of searching through the config files, I presumed it would be a matter of changing the reference in /usr/palm/universalsearchmgr/resources/en_gb/UniversalSearchList.json as that file also contains the reference to amazon.co.uk and the other standard search options.
However, even having changed that, rebooted, cleared browser cache, selecting Google in Just Type still goes to google.com and gives me US references first.
Has anyone got any idea what I am missing or have I got the wrong file?
OK, I can now answer my own question after some further searching on the internet. It seems this has been documented on PreCentral in the past.
Just editing the localised file in /usr/palm/universalsearchmgr don't complete the change. To finish things off and get the TP to re-read that file, I needed to delete the universalsearchprefs.db file in /var/luna/preferences and restart.
Do you mind linking to the thread, hopefully there is a quick guide that I can follow as I need to change mine to UK to....
Thanks.
I got the basic information from here:- http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad/298297-just-type-browser-google-settings.html#post3160050
However, in the end, I did everything just using Internalz Pro (after loading that with Preware). It was a case of editing /usr/palm/universalsearchmgr/resources/en_gb/UniversalSearchList.json (after saving a copy) and then deleting /var/luna/preferences/universalsearchprefs.db and then rebooting the TP.
How did you edit UniversalSearchList.json? If I navigate to it with Internalz & try to open it I get a blank Impostah window that just hangs.
I just set Internalz to Master Mode in the Preferences (at the bottom) and I could edit. I am not running Imposter so don't know if that has an effect.
thanks for this info, this was bugging me and your fix has worked a treat
cheers
