WM6 Office

Dear all,
Does it possible to clone the WM6 Office into WM5? Anyone can make it and share?
Thanks

Why?
Couldn't find one new feature missing from WM 5.

ummm...you can always create a new folder named Office Mobile ...if that makes you any happier ...or just flash your device with a wm6 rom

The only noticeable feature in Word is the loading progress bar when opening and saving. There may be others but that's all I've seen.

How about the Exchange 2007 support, HTML email, flagging etc...

The WM5 pocket outlook can't read the mail with html format. If someone can extract the mobile office from WM6 (Crossbow) and make a CAB file for install to WM5 will be good.

WM6 Email Client on WM5

Hi!
I have a Dell Axim x50v (VGA device) running WM5 AKU 2.3, and would really want to have HTML support for email, since WM5 email client doesn't support it. I don't want to download any extra third-party application like Flexmail, but rather would like to know if there is some kind of a plugin for this native email client that allows HTML support.... I heard of WM6 and it's richer email client. Is there any way you can install WM6 email client on a windows mobile 5 device like mine? If not, is there any WM6 ROM that will work on my PDA? (Other things like viewing Internet Explorer Mobile in high resolution mode, or the new "calendar ribbon" would also be a worthy upgrade.)
.... There is a very slight chance that Dell will release an official WM6 upgrade considering how old my model is.... (it came out in 2004, being replaced by x51 models in late 2005).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

For what I have read, you are basically out of luck.
You can't rip the email client out of WM6 since it seems to be very much incorporated within the OS. If you want to enjoy the WM6 email client you have to upgrade.
As far as if there is a WM6 I am not sure and since you have reached a HTC forum, well, have you tried a Dell site?

Quoted for the truth.
Outlook (PIM) depends on Shell, Shell depends on Coredll, Coredll depends on kernel. Bummer.

Like I said, there is no chance that Dell will be releasing WM6 upgrade for its handhelds, so visiting "aximsite" wasn't very usefull for me right now.
When you guys mentioned that the WM6 email client is very much incorporated with the OS, does the same apply with the Internet Explorer Mobile that now supports high resolution, or the Microsoft "MarketPlace"?
Is there at least a third-party HTML support plugin for the native email client, or is Flexmail the only solution for viewing HTML-formatted emails? (I would really prefer a "free" third-party application.)

Try Qmail IMHO the best email program and what is more important free
http://q3.snak.org/download/ take most up to date compilation from Nightly build section and don't be afraid about japanese page Qmail is in english! At the bottom of download page you'll find openssl extension for secure connections.

I can't properly download this "Qmail" program. If I want to download and install it through activesync by first of all extracting the zip file from the nightly build and then running the exe file, it eventually says "not a valid Win32 application" or something like that. In fact, i can't stand that official japanese website, cause i get that same message for anything i try to download from there.
Actually, i got a chance to see how Qmail works (looks pretty nice - it supports HTML, right?), but not necessary to use it. Instead of running it on a PC, i copied right away that zip file to my device, and installed Total Commander on my PPC. However, I had to extract each component for Qmail separately using the Total Commander. Really a disasterous download, if not even. It ended up opening the program, but never really saving it anywhere on my device. After a quick soft reset, there is no more trace of it.
So, SERIOUSLY, does anyone have an alternate cab or exe file of the latest nightly build for Qmail v3 that actually works, not links to that japanese website?

I think you don't get the idea of inslalling it it's not self installing program! unpack it on your desktop than move whole folder with all files (all dlls and q3u.exe) to some folder on your ppc, probably the best is storage card. You can copy files that way by opening activesync and than klicking on explore button there will be your ppc just like any other folder in normal desktop pc. Copy whole qmail folder to it and thats it, you can start qmail using totalcommander on ppc or later create some shortcut to program on today or in programs.
here is packed folder "Qmail" with all needed files unpack it on your desktop and copy unpacked folder with files to your ppc using activesync explore button! Sorry but I can't write it more simply This one works on my ppc as all other versions did!

and one more thing here you can read somthing more about qmail and the power of this program! also how to set it up

Nice!!! I finally got Qmail installed on my device. Seems like it can do a lot more than just let you view HTML-formatted email. So, how well does it compete with the native WM6 email client?
Ohh, you guys never answered me about WM6 Internet Explorer. I find that IE that comes with WM5 takes very long time to open pages, or at least - fairly slow. (Doesn't work very well in the morning when you are in a rush, and don't want to wait for your PC to start up, and whenever it's ready to connect to the internet). Many WM6 reviews say that the WM6 IE is quite faster, supports AJAX, and especially more stable. (Don't know how to explain it to you, but when scrolling too fast the web pages, especially in landscape mode, at one point all the graphics and program icons become as if shattered with black, grey, green, red, ... lines -the images corrupted, that requires soft reset.) Not sure if this is an error, or if WM6 fixes it. That's why I was thinking of overwriting my current IEMobile with the Internet Explorer that comes with WM6. Or is it hard-coded, as well as WM6 email client, into the OS?
One last question. (sorry, if I'm bothering you guys too much.) Everyone knows that IEMobile of any kind does not allow multiple tabs. And i really would have preffered some kind of a plug-in, not a separate web browser, that allows it. I tried PIEPlus, but it also adds way too many features that I don't even need (i need a browser plugin that handles it as simple as possible) that only wastes more memory, and i think, slows down the IE even more. Any idea???

Ok, I know I was asking above lots of things. So, to make it easier:
1)Does anyone know how i can speed up my internet explorer mobile?,
2)And how i can fix that occasional screen error that occurs while browsing the internet that messes up my whole PDA?

So, um, can somebody help me?

Hello! Is anyone out there?

remove clearvue PDF

how

I am not an expert, but I think that the only way is through rom cooking. You cannot remove files present on rom after it has been flashed on your device
I may be wrong, but this is what I understood

that is Correct.

I think clearvue PDF is a waste of time... the only times I've needed to open a PDF file on my phone I havn't been able to...
ROM cookers might as well stop putting it in their roms and let people decide to install adobe reader LE themselves.

flame away
If you don't want it to appear on your program list, you can just delete the short cut.

see my signature.

go to download a shareware version of clearvue PDF, then extract the CAB out and out of winCE Cab manager, You will know all the files that associated with it

For you maybe.
I have efax and viewing faxed pdfs is essential for my work.
I've never had a problem with clearvue and if they removed it, I might as well be back on a standard cell phone.

it would be replaced with adobe, you wouldn't be left helpless

ClearVue PDF Cab
I think this list will be useful for the mere mortal who doesn't have Win CE Cab Manager. Would you care to share the list once you get it done on this thread as a way to close it?

I guess I'm just an "if it ain't broken, then don't change it...unless its a ROM or other toy..." type of guy.
I've never had a problem with ClearVue so wouldn't know the difference to be quite honest.
I come from Palm where I had to use Docs to Go...now THAT sucked.

the diff is acrobat is much faster. it's significant for > 1 page doc.

Acrobat can also be ran from the externial memory. I would like to see the removal of PowerPoint, that sucker is about 3 Meg. and useless to me.

i-mate's WWE ROM includes ClearVUE as an uninstallable app. There's a cab-file in the extROM called Default_MP_ClearVue_PDF_2.42.442_CDL_WWE_FontFiles.cab. It's 10.4 KB in size so I doubt this could be the full app.
The registry has information on installed apps at
HKLM\Security\AppInstall

Yes, but it doesn't really uninstall it - just the shortcut. The app is still in the windows dir.

Strangely, I have done a search for "pdf" in the windows directory and got the following results. However, I go in and change the properies to make them NOT read only and system, but they still cannot be manually deleted. Hmmm... odd. It must be because of that attribute called "In ROM". Rats.
My thought was to manually delete some files and then apply the registry settings. Oh well, cooking up a custom rom may actually be easier now!

no files for clearvue are labeled as pdf, that's why your not finding it

If that doesn't do the trick, try Tools > Conversion Settings on ActiveSync.
You may want to make sure that your Excel files are or are not converted on their way through.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend using Pocket Word/Word Mobile or Pocket Excel/Excel Mobile at all, even for reading files, as they don't read most content from most common files - which means that their main potential usefulness was destroyed by MS before it was ever issued. And has remained so. Softmaker Office 2006 reads and writes Excel and Word files in their original form and I use it heavily.
You can get the Textmaker (Word) and Planmaker (Excel) seperately if you want to.
No I'm not promoting either, just recommending.

Broken executables?

Hi, I installed NRG's 1.7 rom remade by Ricky and stylez a week ago....I guess an application I've installed since then messed something up. Excel, PowerPoint and Word Mobile won't launch from the start menu...they just open up file explorer. The same thing happens if I use celecmd to launch them. The other shortcuts in the Office Mobile menu(OneNote Mobile and Adobe Reader LE) work fine though. Sorry this isn't dev related, but does anyone know how to fix this?

Open up Chome Config show the Office panel and click on them there
It's because there is no blank document if you put a blank document on an navigated to it would be the same.

Weird, first time using Windows Mobile and I assumed these apps would work differently. Thanks!
