Nice...Thx very much for this app..

hey thanks so much for this app. but whats the difference to the app called dontforget 2.0?

WingsNoify is only one-purpose app , it will only notify by LED blinking - this is what i always missed on smartphones, pocketpc can do it because OS supports it, smartphones not.
DontForget (by the way, there is already version 2.50 beta of this app) does much more things. I know the author and i've already told him that he could add this blinking. I've used DontForget on my previous smartphone, Qtek 8310, cause i've not figured out how to force LED to blink in application.. Now, on the Wings, i found the way how to control LED, so i've written this.

Ok thanks for this useful app.
I'm really interested in creating little apps like this for our Wings. So u can u please tell me how u programmed ur little app? Which programs did u use?
Thanks

How do you stop it to uninstall?
I put it in the startup folder as suggested but can't delete it because it is running.

Use task manager (CeleTask) to stop the process.

Thanks.
I realise now the simplest way to manage it would have been to put the .exe in its own folder then a .lnk shortcut in the Windows\Startup folder.

Sorry for my ignorance ( i am a wm6 beginner ) where can i find CeleTask ?
Thanks in advance

{cough} Google is your friend... Search for CeleTask and you get loads of download links.
I've gone for the free version of acbTaskMan-for-Smartphone, that allows you to view and kill processes.

Nice app. Thank you.

Hello saman-cz,
Thank you for developing this great tool. i really like this feature on my blackberry and im now happy to use that on my smartphone too!
But would it be possible to enable notifcation for unread emails(Outlook)?
Thank you in advance

No problem. Once i will have a moment i will add it..

New version, check the first post

Is the previous version still available to download or is it possible to disable the new features by a command line parameter? I always have unread e-mails on my phone so the new version is no use to me unless I can disable the e-mail check.
Thanks.

Another update..

How do I add the command line options?

Create a shortcut. E.g.:
Code:
41#"\Program Files\WingsNotify.exe" -noemail

How can I do that? I can create a shortcut but I can't see any way to edit it to put -noemail in.

Just open it with some text editor, e.g. built-in one in Total Commander, or Vieka Wordpad..

Hi. I have some questions (maybe someone did it)
1.) How to put some registry settings into .cab (some desktop tool?)
2.) How to backup settings data (gprs,mms, etc) are they in registry?
3.) Anyone knows how to make my Wizard to use localized MUI files ( nls and MUI reg hack localize only Voice Dial)
4.) how to run outlook with as "new sms" - i need it for shortcut
5.) I have found screen settings with 16 bpp (default) i switched it to 32 and i'm not sure sth happend. Maybe it was a bit slower. Anyone knows does it affect to screen and what is max value (64??)?
Lost my reply thanks to ctrl+C not working for some reason. Let's try again.

You can use any CAB editor. I was recommended OCP Software's WinCE CAB Manager - it works great.

Yes. Your best bet will be to open up an existing operator settings CAB and adjust the values to what you're using, and then save the CAB again. This way you can just install that CAB anytime you need to re-set those settings. Search the forum for some example operator settings CAB files.

No idea. Although you can make a shortcut with...
32#"tmail.exe" -service "Inbox" -to ""
to create a new message, it will default to whatever is your currently active inbox. So if Hotmail was your last active inbox, you'll be composing a new Hotmail message.
32#"tmail.exe" -new
Will pop up an Account selector to let you pick where to start a new message in.
I'm sure there's an option to pick the account on the command line as well, but I haven't found it %)
You can always use VJSMS from vijay555's VJPhoneTools:
http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases:VJPhoneTools
It's just a small app, and you can launch it with shortcuts as well.

Max is probably 32bpp - however, your screen is, at maximum, likely to be 18bpp. And addressing at 18bpp just makes things slow. See also:

'fraid I have nothing on point #3
ZeBoxx, you again?!
Regarding starting new appointments etc, have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=204692#204692
basically:
Append -new to each of the PIM tasks, eg
Start the apps as such:
\windows\addrbook.exe -new
\windows\calendar.exe -new
\windows\tasks.exe -new
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To start a new message, there may be other ways, I'm sure there are, but you can use my VJSMS with "" on the end eg
"....\VJSMS.exe" ""
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

vijay: of course me again
And yeah, like I said, you can use "tmail.exe -new" to start a new message. However, it will ask you what account you want to send from.
You can skip that bit with the earlier shortcut - but it will default to whatever your current/last active Account was.
So basically, say my current/last active Account is hotmail... then what shortcut do I need to start a new SMS (which is in the "Text Messages" Account) ?
I haven't spotted a way, tried a couple of strings - no luck. Your app would surely work, but I can't help but think there's gotta be a way to do it with just tmail.exe

Contact Filters. HELP!!!

This question has been posted in other forums, but never with a solution:
Is the ANY way of changing the default filter for contacts. Filtering the contacts is easy, but whenever I exit and return to the contacts app, it always changes back to having no filter on.
I have 3,000 contacts, but 2,500 are in one category that I use less often. Keeping the filter to only the categories I need would speed things up for me tremendously.
I've had to go to 3rd-party products to do that. The Contacts folder in SBSH PocketBreeze supports it as does PocketInformant. I'm sure there are others.
I also don't know how to fix the builtin contact manager, however i use PocketCM and it is a free great app, very finger friendly!You'll enjoy it!!!
Minimise rather than close the Contacts app. The filter will remain active until you close the app.
What's weird is that WM2003SE supported this (at least the smartphone version did). Then when I got my first WM5 device, (again Smartphone) it was gone. This feature was removed from WinMo.

PocketCM looks interesting. Is the filter property already built-in to the app, or do I have to edit the settings file?

PocketCM reads all the requested settings built in your Windows Contact options, like Category, City or Company (all these used as filters), than there is one more own Favorites filter!!
I suggest to use this theme, MM-HTCV2.zip, optimized for the newest version, 0.19b.cab, than you can find your prefered language in the main forum!!

shortcut icon for all control panel applets

I am sorry if it's a super N00b question... However, I searched high and low (in Google) but can not find any solution yet...
I am using UltimateLaunch and try to create a tab with all control panel applets. I know how to make a shortcut for each applet (instructions here: http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=51882)
, however, they all show up same default icons.
I tried also to add "?/windows/ctlpnl.exe,-5000" inside the .lnk file, however, this trick works only last century (WM2003) and WM6.0 seems use a complete different number/mechanism since I can never guess the number index right!
I tried to use tools mentioned here: http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=176117 but none works for Kaiser. Is there a better tool or way to extract the icon or assign a shortcut with icon? (I know all those icons are stored in ctlpnl.exe, however, how to get the index is the key question)
Or is there a easier way to get out the ctlpnl.exe and use Resource hacker to find the index? (the only way I know of is to download a Rom image and it's hell lot of works!)
Thank in advance!
Here's also a thread about shortcuts, maybe you'll find the answer to your questions there....
This is what I use.
I too have Ultimate Launch. I just create a link to the attached exe. It opens up the setting folder just as WM6 would. Unfortunately the link posted above doesn't have a way to open the settings root (at least not that I saw).
Also included in that zip file are some other useful exe's. I particulaly like wisSystem.exe for seeing quick system info.
Thanks for the link as well as those useful small utilities, I think I can add some more functionality to my Kaiser.
However, since I would like to directly link to the control applet in the UltimateLaunch with a valid icon on the Today screen, I still need a way to get the icon to make it more visual plesant. Right now I am using the "text icon" of UL to get by....
Thanks anyway!

(To update) List of each WM6.1P file/DLL and its use

Hi guys/gals,
I was thinking that it would be handy to make a list of all the DLLs and files that appear in the \Windows directory on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional.
I suspect that in the near future, as Chandra suggests, we will not be able to update our phones any further, due to size restrictions caused by small RAM/ROM space.
I would like to make the list so we can determine what we can safely remove in the future to gain a bit of extra space.
Is it even possible to remove DLLs or only overwrite them?
Please leave your thoughts here, and if you know a program or DLL and its use, post it and I will add it to this first post.
Cheers!

Autocorrect.0409.txt
This seems to be a text document that will auto-replace words when you incorrectly spell them in an SMS, Email, Excel or Word Document. For example, it would change "Youre" to You're" as soon as pressed the space bar after the word.
AutoTimeUpdate.exe
I would suspect that this would automatically update the time. I am not sure what program calls it, but possibly ActiveSync.

This loads the Backlight application which is also found in settings.

I suspect this is used when the optional backpack is used on the Himalaya.

How do I link ifonez icons to built in apps?

Hi
I am new to this forum and to HTC. I have set up my new phone with S2UL, Ifonez and Icontact. I have got a number of my apps working fine from Ifonez but I cant seem to find the files or commnads to load Windows Mobile 6 built in applications such as the following
Communication Manager
Task Manager
Programmes.
I have been searching through Google and these forums in order to find out but cant seem to find anything, so sorry if this is an obvious question.
I am also using Icontact Burt edition which is mostly working fine. However I am finding one or two contacts are displaying underneath the top bar so that I cannot really make out the entry. I only discovered it by searching for an entry that I knew was there but couldn't see in the list. Icontact seems to display a screen at a time rather than a continuous list so I am finding it difficult to see who these entries relate to. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Greg

Thanks for the quick reply.
If I understand this correctly I create a text file with the appropriate code in it and then rename the file with the extension lnk. Then I point one of ifonez launch icons towards this file. Is that correct?
If it is I still cant seem to see a code for Communication Manager or to open the Programs folder. Have I misunderstood?
You would simply make a .txt file with the "data" of the thing you want to link to, save the file, and then change the extension of the file from .txt to .lnk.
For example, to create a shortcut to Settings>System>Memory>Main, you would make a text document with this in it:
20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4
Save the file as "Memory", and then use a file explorer/manager to change the extension from "Memory.txt" to "Memory.lnk"
The link to the Comm Manager is: 39#"\Windows\CommManager.exe"
The link to the Programs folder [in the Start Menu] is 40#"Windows\Start Menu\Programs\"
Sorry for the delay in replying, I have been caught up with work and unable to look at this forum until now. So thanks for your reply it was really helpful.
