Start Menu history - P3600 ROM Development

Is there a tool for stopping the start menu tracking what applications have been previously opened as I would like to turn this off so as to make the start menu smaller!!

Remove all entrys.

excellent but how do I edit the registy?

AFAIK, there is no way of switching that feature off.. however, there is software that clears the list on every softreset. It is common/popular software to be included in most cooked ROMs

Softkey Changer

I made a little Cab file of the Softkey Changer App I found somewhere in an Extended Rom.
Since there are a lot of people who want to change the softkeys.
Enjoy
what does it do? Is it to change application in the main (today) softkeys?
or can it also change softkey in other applications such as Outlook Mobile?
Thanks in advance.

I too am confused. Isn't there already an option to change whatever application we can launch using the soft key buttons by going to the system settings?
This application is not standard in every Rom.
If you don't have it in your Rom, you can add it now.
Yes you can assign every program to one of the softkeys.
sharky48 thanks for this fantastic thing. I use to have some other one, bu this is just perfect.
Thanks again

This one is much better:
- It allows to select any application whereever the application is.
- Allows to rename the Soft Key Display Name
- The applet can be put on any Tab (Personal, System or Connections) of Settings
Cheers,
.Fred
ps.: the only disavantage is that the size of the applet is 63k against the 18k of yours

You need to unzip the file and copy the applet file to \windows folder then perform a soft reset.

Thanks for the explaination. Appreciate it.
Does anyone know of a way to access call history using the softkeys, or even the hard keys?
On my old C500 i think there was an executable somewhere which opened call history, and it was possible to point a button at this, can't seem to find one on the hermes though.

Thanks! Does anyone has these files: tnsms.exe (for "New SMS" command) and tnmms.exe (for "New MMS" command) in folder: My Pocket PC\Windows\ ? Couldn't run softkeys for "New SMS" or "New MMS".
Thanks again!
so i got the app working but on WM6 even though i changed the soft key in the program on the today screen the right soft key still says menu
what should i try to change that?
also how do i edit the names so instead of it saying messaging for the left soft key it becomes Messaging with a capitol?

There should be an option there to rename it. Just read it carefully. It should be at the top.

wow thanks im stupid.
however still i cannot change the right soft key, even though i have a program selected in the program, on the today screen it still wont change from Menu
So I changed the right soft key to new sms and it didnt work, so I changed it back to Calendar but now it gives me an error:
HTCCalendar.exe
The file "HTCCalendar" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.
This is using the former file (soft key changer.zip) not applet.
Even resetting doesnt help.

Messaging Accounts deleted after Soft Reset

Hi guys!
I'm using a Trinity (WM6; Build 17944.0.3.1), everythings is great - except whenever I do a soft reset my messaging accounts are no longer there (Yahoo, Gmail, etc.) default accounts such as Text & MMS are intact but I always end up setting up my Yahoo & Gmail account whenever I do a soft reset.
Any tips?
locate a file called "startclean" in /windows/startup, and delete it, that could be the reason.

I have the following: btdwake, poutlook & VCDaemon. I already did a hard reset & after setting up a new message account (Yahoo & Gmail) after resetting these accounts vanish.

Problem Solved - for me anyway
Had the same problem, was driving me crazy untill I found this:
Set up all your settings, email accounts, etc. Make sure your phone is not plugged in to your charger or sync cable, if it is, unplug the cable and wait a few moments. Turn off your phone by holding the power button for 4 seconds,
then restart.
Apparrently this writes the settings to memory so that after a soft reset they won't be lost.
I did this two days ago and the problem has not re-occurred for me.
Here's hoping.
Messaging accounts and passwords disappearing probably solved!
Hi to all!
After a few days with this terrible problem I think I've found a solution!
For me it works for 100% and I really hope that it'll help you too.
So, the theory (you can look immediately to the next chapter if you don't care about details and just want the solution):
Problem with settings (mail accounts, passwords, exchange folders) disappearing and known solution (start IE, disconnect, turn off) telling us that problem is connected with saving settings to the filesystem.
There might be 3 problems:
1. Some huge cache for system setting. Flush operation is not so often, so everything lost during a soft reset.
2. Some error in system databases support.
3. We're closing system application in some wrong way....
So, I started with simple 3rd variant and I've found out that all of us are using HTC X-button application to close running programs instead of minimize them.
Currently I have installed PDAVIET rom with X-Button 1.51 (build 30470).
The Solution:
Open registry editor and remove X-Button daemon "taskserStart.exe" - go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Init and find value "LaunchXX" with data "taskserStart.exe" and delete it!
That's all!
Thank you!
EDIT:
To avoid misunderstanding I'll describe steps:
1. Delete registry value: "Open registry editor and remove X-Button daemon "taskserStart.exe" - go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Init and find value "LaunchXX" with data "taskserStart.exe" and delete it!"
2. SoftReset
3. Enter passwords, restore accounts etc.
4. Completed!
Also I've found previous version of X-Button and with this version accounts and passwords don't disappear: View attachment X-Button1.5.cab

In general, yes, but I didn't try to install older version above working newer version.
What I did is:
1. Removed registry key and then soft reset.
2. Install older version.
Thank you!
As to me X-button is not related to this issue. This is a feature of wm6 implemented with bugs by Dopod, who provided a lap with bugs.
This issue and others can affect a lot (if not every) dopod roms, It can be mitigated by disabling file system cache, but require a new lap to be solved.
Have a look here and around for further information:

Hi!
As I said, it might be problem with cache, but nevertheless new version of X-Button closes system applications in different way than old version (probably using KillProcess or something... I didn't study it in details) and with old one system applications have time to save their settings.
It is true that reason is not in X-Button, but using old version I don't have this problem at all.
Solution is not for fixing a bug in OS, but for avoiding the problem.
Thank you!
P.S. Thanks for the link. I'll study it.

However not long after I posted, I lost my settings again. I haven't tried esofts fix yet. I was hoping for some more feedback first.
I did ring HTC (Australia) about this, they denied any fault of the ROM.
I am using the latest official ANZ rom from their website.

After trying out your suggestion - I have sucessfully retained my message settings for 3 days without a glitch so far. Have done as much as 10 soft resets just to make sure it was retained. So for me everything has worked out perfectly.
Thanks again.
Hi to all!
I have to tell that disabling X-Button was working for a week or so and then I lost my settings again.
Also I tried to disable file system cache, it was working for a few days and yesterday night I've lost my settings once more.
100% solution doesn't exist yet.
I'll keep trying, but I feel like it would be easier to create small application which will configure everything (network, e-mails) and put it into autostart. :-\ I'll work on this issue next weekend.

Soft Reset Application

Does anyone know of an application that lets you preform a soft reset on a WM smartphone?
I know that Facade does it, but I am not using Facade. Thanks.
Celetask also has the feature.
Trianglepowers has a reboot button that you don't have to open a program to get to. Just click the icon and viola, your device restarts.

Wow, man thanks! They have some cool stuff here.
I use SmartToolKit for my soft resets. It is not a good as not having to open an app to do it but I can stor it on my SD Card and oly open it when I need to do a soft reset. It also has some other nice features.
Here's a simple one from PHM. Just unzip and put the exe file in your start menu folder. This one prompts you, but I think you can make a shortcut with the -silent flag to do an unprompted reboot.

[REF] HowTo stop ActiveSync running all the time.

Hi everyone, I am constantly seeing allot of questions and duplicate posts all over the forums regarding for this ActiveSync issue, i.e. it is running in the background even after a disconnection from your PC or mail client etc. so I have created this thread to try to help clogging up some of the already big threads. Hopefully this will leave allot of valuable space left on the individual ROM's threads created by the cooks, so as to report non Microsoft related problems..

Hi Blazeitup123.
The eLiAs_ASyncKiller.cab works fine but does not close activesync all the time, i.e every time I check my internet e-mail via gprs activesync stays open even with the eLiAs_ASyncKiller cab installed, and i have to close it manually.
The TaskManager route closes activesync all the time.

Here goes:
1) Open Active Sync
2) Click on "Menu" and select "Configure Server..."
3) Enter false info in the server address / user name / other details
4) Click on "Menu" and select "Schedule..."
5) In BOTH drop-down menus select "Manually"
6) Click on "ok" and then close Active Sync.
7) Make sure Active Sync is closed and see if it comes back to life.
Active Sync shouldn't re-open any more, since you've just configured it NOT to connect to the internet automatically / periodically any longer.
After you verify that Active Sync didn't re-open itself - you may then go back and delete the "false" server you entered before. You may do so by:
1) Click on Menu and select "Oprions..."
2) Hilight "Microsoft Exchange" and click on "Delete"
3) Click "Yes" to confirm deleting this server
That's it...

this seems to be some kind of registry setting.
if we could find the setting, it would be much easier to disable activesync when it is unwanted
Just do a full dump before and after all steps necessary. Then you can easily find out what changed by comparison.

Did yoy do as told in the first post? the Task Manager trick works for me every time with every rom!
the most simple and elegant solution:
just add activesync to exclusive list in the task manager...
1. when you'll check and get activesync on (uninvited)
2. go to task manager.
3. Click and hold on the word Activesync and then select from the pop-up "add to exclusive".
4. go to exclusive tab and thick activesync (repllog.exe).
done. worked for me many times (many ROMs)

It was one and the same thing with me with Swtos WM6.1 WWE CE OS 20748, Build 20748 V1.2 Full, UC Ready ROM. I couldn't manage to kill the ActiveSync. I tried all your advices but nothing.
I think it's come with Bild 20748 ROMs.
The previous Bilds are without any problem.
