Hiya, I've been playing about with the extended rom and have the system in great shape, apart from some registry settings, such as the owner info and device name. It would be kinda handy to have these setup automatically but I am totally unable to do it... I'm presuming it's because there is something else that has to be done other than simply set the keys.
I'm using PHM reg ed to export keys as well as simply creating them manually and am using WinCE Cab Manager to make the cabs. I'm on the original O2 Exec rom (well, most of it )
When I run the cab (automatically from a hard reset or manually), I can see the values in the registry but they never appear on the today screen. I've tried a variety of power cycling, soft resetting etc but the today screen is never updated - it always says "Tap here to set owner info". If I do that, the registry keys are cleared out...
If anyone can shed some light on this I'd be grateful - for a small problem it's taking up a lot of time! :?
Cheers!
I've not gone down the .CAB route, but just import these and other settings from a .reg file and have never had this problem.
When I have to install from scratch, the first install is Resco's Explorer (which contains a Registry Editor), then execute the .reg file.
Almost sounds as if the registry changes are not being saved. Is it only these particular settings or are other changes not registered?
Well, I have created loads of CAB files in WinCE CAB Manager to set up my phone, tomtom, etc.
I Used the same method as you. The only difference being that I reset (automatically) after I install them. Could this be it?
Ahh, which WinCE CAB Manager version you running? You need the new beta 1.2 version to be able to create WM5 compatible CAB Files. Can this have something to do with it?

Probably the cause. I know I've read and experienced that I must allow the device to flush after changes before I reset it. I usually turn it off, then wait a minute or two before I soft-reset.

As yet I'm not using CABs/Cab-Manager. Couldn't find one when I looked - except at ridiculous money, which I wasn't prepared to waste - so I'm just using the .reg-files manually
Guys, many thanks for the replies!
I'm using my 15 free goes (and hibernating ) on version 1.1 of WCM at the mo, it's too expensive to buy as I would only use it for this as far as I can see - I'll head off and look for the beta next.
I have tried power cycling, pausing while off and resetting as well as soft-resetting from software, but not doing it automatically 'cos I don't know how!
@moghisi101: Out of curiousity, how are you automatically performing a soft-reset and thanks for the heads-up about beta 1.2!
I have written an Autorun.exe file, much like the one in the extended rom. It does not however read a config.txt file. It runs the CAB files (with my apps and settings in) and then resets.
I don't remember where I put the code, so I can't compile one for you. It only needs a slight change from the Autorun sample Microsoft Supply.
At the moment I can set up pretty much everything on the phone. Button Lock, GPRS Settings (including GPRS Auto Attach, etc), Owner Info, Default Volume, Today Screen Plugins (order and enabled/disabled), Date/Time, Screen Config, Infrared off by default.....the list goes on. When I Hard Reboot, It skips the welcome screen (all the time settings etc) and I've got it to ask me which Operator Settings to Install (eg Vodafone, o2, Orange, Tmobile Splash Screens and GPRS connections).
It's much better than the default Qtek, i-mate, and (definately) o2 ROMs...
Just a thought!
Are you annotating your .reg files with semi-colon at the start of a line?
With the PC, I've always annotated my .reg import-files, so that I could remember why I'd done something later on, but found that *no* lines after those annotation would be imported on the Exec (Universal). Don't know if this is specifically a WM5 issue or not. If you put the annotations at the end of the .reg file, all the preceeding key/value content lines *are* imported.
@astage: Interesting about the annotations, that must have caused some pain before you figured it out! I don't have annotations in my reg files as I'm not really using reg files I'm building keys in WinCE Cab Manager by both importing reg exports and typing them in manually.
Unfortunately, the beta version is only available to registered users, so I'll have to abandon that one for now.
@moghisi101: It sounds like you're sorted! That's basically what I had in mind myself, except that I was thinking smaller
Thanks for the thought about compiling an exe, I was thinking I may have to ask a mate to make something like that so if you do find the code and feel like posting one, I'm sure the community would thank you!
I've been looking for something that would just install cabs etc then reboot but not found one yet on the web... I'm a UI designer and so am wary about going down the visual studio path for fear I may start to favour all-grey interfaces :twisted: .
Which autorun sample are you referring to though? I guess I may have to get my hands dirty after all!
No, I don't annotate them, so I haven't come accross this. But, if you save some Keys using a Reg Editor and then use Import in WinCE Cab Manager...ahhh, I think i may know the problem!
1. Don't put Comments in Reg Files
2. Don't use import in WinCE CAB Manager! If the reg key has data above a certain length it will split it to next line using a ";", but WinCE Cab Manager assumes this is the end of the data. So, your Owner Info could be being entered in incorrectly as a result. You have to copy-paste the reg key into a new dword, etc into WinCE Cab Manager. i.e. DONT IMPORT
I hope that vaguely made sense
Yup! Clear as a bell, thanks! I'll try that in a mo, just rebooting. Import is *sooo* tempting though, so simple... Curse my weakness for the easy path!
Hi. Here is Microsoft's Autorun Code (I have that)
You have to make slight changes to allow for reboot at end. It's fully annotated if you dont understand what it means. BTW, you dont need Visual Studio. Infact it's probably the worst root. Use Microsoft's eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 to compile this for Windows CE, Mobile 2003SE, (or Mobile 5?). It's Microsoft but it's FREE!?
Sweet! Two terms you don't hear very often in the same context are Microsoft and free! Nice one, thanks! I'm downloading Microsoft's eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 as I type.
You actually solved the problem already though, in a way, pointing out that WCM truncates "strings". I opened an exported key in Textpad and tidied it up (removing the end of line "\" and the "\n\t") then saved it and imported the file into WinCE Cab Manager, made my cab, installed it and soft rebooted from SPB PocketPlus without going back to the Today screen. It worked!
I'm a big fan of Textpad and will use that to make a macro to tidy up exported reg keys so I can import them easily (another triumph for the easy path!).
You, Sir, are a DUDE!
Edit: 16.4 kbps from MS... :roll: For anyone else who decides to go down this path, the killer bit is to make sure your key values don't get truncated! Open the .reg in a text editor and make sure any really long values, like binaries, are all on one nice long line! It doesn't seem to make any difference if you soft-reset from an app or use the stylus btw.
Shame the baby kept us up all last night! I've *got* to get some sleep or I'll end up doing god knows what to my device by accident!
Thanks for the help moghisi101!
Hehe, Gee Thanks. And btw, Textpad r0x!
If you want to do that autorun thing.....familiarize yourself with the whole 2577 method (search it and you'll understand). If you don't want crappy o2 Customisations, etc on your device then you are better off just editing the extended rom, edit the config.txt, add your configuration CABs, and then every time you hard reset all your customisations will appear! NO programming involved. If you then add "welcome.not" file to SD Card, the Welcome screen at hard reset wont appear (if you code this in your autorun file it will work on ALL devices, not just a few including HTC). BUT only do this if your CAB files contain stylus screen settings, and time settings. However, as this is not viable in all situations the 2577 method can be much better. Especially when selling a piece of software, etc (automatic installation and configuration), as I do.
I might email you, later on, a video of what happens when I hard reset my device to give you an idea of what you can do (at the least) and hopefully you can go on to improve on that.
Thought I will give you a kick start. Here are some Regedits I could make for you. Took me a short while, but there are loads more for inbuilt apps (e.g Messagig, etc) but I coudn't remember where the reg values where.
Please note, I couldn't find any of the WM5 ones...completely forgotten them. But these should give you and idea as to where they are. Also, look here in the Wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Hacks_WM5
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Hacks
Some of the ones I have given are from here, but many more I found myself
Hope it helps you (become a millionaire - don't forget me )

Thanks to Bayondthetech for the CAB file.
Hehe. I feel like a n00b now (which I am really). I hadn't seen that. But I think mine does a couple of extra things that he didn't post....?
Bye
Wow! Holy Cr*p! Thanks for all those reg files! :bows:
I'd looked at BTT's post before and was hoping to use his cabs as a guide. Unfortunately, they aren't currently available (from what I've read, he generated so much traffic with his downloads that his host yanked his connection and he's in the process of moving sites).
Thanks to moghisi101 and a few other posters on this forum, I don't need them any more!
@moghisi101: I had already edited my extendedRom's config file to load and run cabs I store on the SD card (to keep the extRom below 10mb) and realised last night that that already does the auto reset for me, so life gets another bit easier These reg files rock though! Shame you're not running tomom5 yourself, I'll have to sort those out myself!
The next thing to try is to export the BT settings for my paired devices - I'm hoping it will be possible to restore those automatically too.
Attached is the TextPad macro (although it is too simple to call it that really!) that I'm using to tidy up the reg keys for import into WinCE Cab Manager, hope it helps someone!
Post that video!
Hey
Actually, I have TomTom 5....up until 5.10 I edited TomTom's Cab itself but I just haven't had a chance with 5.21 (need to use CabWiz now, not WinCE Cab Manager - no full WM5 support lol).
The TomTom 3 Today settings is same for TomTom 5 if you want to change order/hide/unhide. Most of the other settings are in a .cfg file on SD card for Home Address, etc. Only a couple other settings use Registry...
Anyway....glad to be of some service

Had a brief conversation this afternoon with a friend who uses Microsoft's CabWiz to produce .cab files for bespoke software.
He mentioned that (with CabWiz) if you use the .cab to apply registry entries, then the .cab must also install something, a text file or similar. I can't recall if he said it would otherwise not create the .cab correctly, or that the reg entries may not be applied correctly.
Not yet tried it myself - will have to wait until after the bloody Tax Return is finished!
Strange, It works fine for me? Was his the newer CabWiz that you can use with WM5, like mine?
As the voices are quite boring on the Co pilot software I was wondering if any one knew whether it's possible to get any different voices?
If so where from?
you shopuld in theaory be able to use ogg voice files for cp6
Cool! I'm going to have to try that!
I'm well to wet bwhind the ears to be able to do anythig complicated at the mo, still learning.
Anywhere I can download or buy a set of voices that install themselves so i can just chose a new voice?
try looking on ebay.. i got loads of voices and maps from there and it all works.. like Naughty Natalie alot? Your find out why..
what about installing tomtom instead of the copilot on the artemis?

Means I gotta buy it
Got the copilot as part of my upgrade deal......
Can't find anything on the net about where to get different voices for Copilot, just references to the fact it can be done
All help appreciated
I have TomTom and CoPilot and much prefer CoPilot but would be cool to get other voices.
Still hoping for an easy option.................................
If you explore the files on your storage card, you'll find the voices under:
\Storage Card\COPILOT\SPEECH\<Language>\<VoiceName>
The default UK voice is under:
\Storage Card\COPILOT\SPEECH\UK English\Jane
If you copied the 'Jane' directory, you could create a new voice set by copying over the .ogg files within it with your own samples, saved in .ogg format at 22.05 Khz. There's a free program called 'Audacity' that you can do that kind of thing with...
Firstly, I wouldnt copy files over Janes files, create a new directory at the same level and call it say JohnCleese. Copy the new ogg files in there and use settings to set that as your language settings.
There are various voices that can be downloaded from the internet for TomTom.
See the posting below for details of how to extract the individual files from the TomTom formatted file.
http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=33804&highlight=tomtom+voice
Once you have the individual files you need to use something like Wavepad to combine the TomTom files to create the same file for copilot. (Copy the files from your SD card onto your PC to see what files you need)
In some cases copilot has 1 file where tomtom uses two files. Roundabouts are the prime example. Copilot has one for "1st exit at roundabout". Tom Tom has 2 "At the roundabout take the " and another for the "first exit". You can use Wavepad to combine files so that is relatively easy.
The 1 mile and 2 mile warnings are the worst as I couldnt find John Cleese saying mile so I put in "800 yards and 800 yards".
Anyway....
I have added to zip files which contains the original extracted John Clees Files. Another contains some combined ones, in come cases I just included the Jane voice. If someone does a better job, let me know and I will add the updated direction to my orbit.
the link seems like a load og hard work just to put a voice on the copilot, why isnt it just as simple as adding one to the tomtom
CoPilot 7 voices
The blog on the CoPilot website explains how you can even record your own voice for the commands:-

I know that this is arguably in the wrong forum, but I've been posting my issue in the "General" forum for weeks without one response. Trying to get some exposure.
I'm just wondering if this is just my issue or if it's a common issue with WM5/WM6 and or the latest ActiveSync, 4.5. I'm having issues with syncing Excel files that used to sync just fine on WM2003. I have large spreadsheets that are about 325kb in size on the desktop. When I sync the file, it's the same size until I open it and try to make changes and save it. Then I get the following error:
"Unsupported content and formatting may be lost if you save this workbook..."
The only way I can save the spreadsheet is to rename it and create a new one with the same name. It then writes over the original file, taking up to 30 seconds to save. The file is then 969kbs in size (almost triple!). And every time I edit on the PC it goes back to 325kbs. Then when I edit on the PPC, it goes through this again, making the file almost a Meg again.
Is there any way to just sync the file with just one format? WM2003 doesn't have this problem at all. It syncs the file and it's still the same size on both the desktop and the PC, 325kbs. But not for WM5 or WM6. This is really annoying. Also, sometimes my date formats are changed from month-day-year to day-year-month, or something retarded like that. Really freakin annoying to say the least. You buy MS products and they're not even compatible. I feel like I have a Palm trying to sync Apple documents or something. It's really ridiculous! I'm hoping that one of you genius' can point me to a setting that I've overlooked to fix this. Or some kind of cab or hack to make Excel save documents in the same format as WM2003. Please help!
PS, I've tried to change the conversion settings in Active sync as well with no apparant effects.
As cuurent ppc office uses same format as pc why not copy and paste documents rather than synching - its what i do with any documents i want to have on my ppc.

I get the same error whether I use activesync or not. That's the problem - they're not the same format. When saving on the desktop it converts to XLS work book. When saving on the device it converts to a PXL file. Thery're different. As a matter of fact, I found out last night the WM2003 is converting the files the same way but it shows the storage size as if it were in the XLS form (says 352Kbs but desktop shows 950Kbs actual size until opened and saved on desktop) It's been doing this all along, so I guess the only difference is that now, I'm getting an warning before I save and rewrite the file and I have to rename it.
Strange thing is that no one seems to have this issue but me. I've only found like 2 or 3 posts on the internet with people having this issue with WM6. So, there's a way to bypass it - Just don't know how.
BTW, Thanx for replying to my post.
2003 saved as pxl - wm6 saves as xls or xlsx - what rom are you using?

I tried to edit-save using WM5 storeage on the device and then edit-save on the desk top. Created the document on the device and it was saved as "Excel 2007 Workbook"(default). Save to storage card and then turned on WM5 storage and connected to the desktop. Went to the storage card, opened the same file and I got a brief message "file conversion in progress" before the file opened. I went to "save as" and the file type was the same "Excel 2007 Workbook". So, like you said, why is there a need for conversion if they're in the same format? Says there're the same but I don't think they really are. Desktop file size is always smaller than the device file size.
Appreciate your help, but I guess I'm just going to have to live with it.
PS and yes, it still asks me to rename the file if I try to edit it after coming from the desktop.
Hi,
I've been using my Artemis for 2-3 weeks now and i absolutely love it, even more so after installing Meschle's Rom (thanks for that one).
I'm always discovering new things to do with my artemis and unfortunately in doing so i also discover things i can't figure out for myself. So i hope some of the forum veterans can provide me with an answer to any of the following questions:
1. I installed PocketGba and it runs very well for the most part. But when trying to run games like Fire Emblem GBA it says 'insufficient memory'. I've been reading through a lot of pages concerning this and discovered it has to do with memory allocation. The question is: how can i safely relocate memory to play these bigger kind of games?
2. I set up my Outlook work account on my Artemis and i was wondering how i could change the setting as to receive the mail on my storage card.
3. Which of these applications is better than the built-in calendar: Agenda Fusion, SPB Diary or SBSH? I would just like a better organizer for appointments and such. If i install one of these, will there be any conflict problems with the present organizer? Can i transfer existing appointments to the new organizer?
4. How can I change my contacts as to display only contacts stored on the phone (no longer double displaying with sim contacts)?
5. How can i add and save words to the XT9 dictionary? Adding isn't the problem here, but keeping them for future use is.
6. In trying to re-install TomTom Navigator 6 some strange things have happened. As it turns out, TomTom didn't install correctly and is spread among a couple of folders. Can someone tell me if it's save to delete these folders and try installing Navigator again?
Showing under My Device: Program Files > Navigator: contacts, itn, logging, voices, navigator, ttnavigator.
Showing under Storage Card: My Documents > TomTom : empty folder
Showing under Storage Card: ttnavigator.
Can i safely remove all these files manually? If i want to re-install TT6...can i just put it on my storage card and run the program from my storage card?
Also, how do i create shortcuts on my device to programs stored on my storage card?
7. I'm using the installed Java Midlet manager Jbed and have thus far installed Opera Mini on it. I'm also trying to download games to my phone. For example: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I tried everything but i just can't seem to download the game to my Artemis. Nor from the eamobile site, nor through vodafone live portal. Any help here would be greatly appreciated (also indicating which phone version of these kind of games is best suited to the Artemis, for example Nokia N series).
That's about it for now ))))
Thanks!!
Excellent questions. I thought I'd be able to help, but I'm kinda stumped on most of them. I'm also using a ROM from Meschle, and I'm using Agenda fusion for the home page. It's free, simple, and very customizable. Don't know about the others.
I haven't used the GBA emulator yet, but I am using a full Nintendo emulator and games run fine on my device. I'm thinking your memory issue is a problem with the settings or you my just have to find another emulator.
And with TomTom, I've never had a problem installing that program. How are you installing it? Cab file? I have a cab file I can email you if your interested. I just bought the software and copied the cab file from the CD. Works everytime.
re tom tom cab file
Hi I have the tom tom cab file, but only have the map for part of ni can anyone mail me the map for the uk?
Cheers all

Heres answer to your question 2 and 4.
UnShow Contacts from Sim
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSim
Normally the value is 1! Set this to 0 and soft reset!
-------
Change the location of email and attachments
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MAPI\PropertyPath =
"\Storage Card\Mail" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MAPI\AttachPath =
"\Storage Card\Mail\Attachments" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
Just simply delete these Registry settings (since neither is included by default).
----------
Change the location of Temporary Internet Files
When browsing the web, pages and images are saved in the 'Temporary Internet Files' location. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache = "\Storage Card\cacheie" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Thanks nm8.
I am using the Touch lite rom from Meschle. And I don't think it comes with a registry editor. Is it worth getting Resco or is there a better, free alternative? I was looking at Schap's advanced config tool. But i'm guessing it doesn't allow registry changing. It does seem to allow to disable displaying sim contacts. Don't know if it also allows for changing the storage of e-mail and attachments to storage card.
All in all i think it's probably safer for a newbie to get the advanced config tool instead of trying to change registry settings, right?
The only thing i find strange is that Meschle indicates that the total free program memory should be 25MB. I have only installed a couple of extra programs (on storage card) and my device says it only has 16.9 MB free.
After disabling Cube and soft resetting device I gained 22MB free program memory. I can now load and run Fire Emblem on PocketGba. Unfortunately the device freezes when a battle is about to take place. Seems like the Artemis isn't really equipped to play these kinds of games. Same thing happens when changing video display and such. Shame. If anyone knows of a solution...
Disabled the cube, soft resetted my device and gained 22 MB free program memory. Now the PocketGba runs Fire Emblem untill a battle starts and then it just freezes my device. Strange. This game only needs 16MB free program memory. I have been playing with video settings and such and it still freezes. Seems like the Artemis isn't really equipped to run this...
@shawndh:
I've read everywhere that PocketGba is the best GBA emulator out there. It can theoretically load 32MB cartridge files according to memory state. As i stated above, I only have around 16.9 MB free. So it really is a question of memory allocation. Which emulator are you using and does it allow you to play any GBA cartridge?
About TT6. Thanks for offering the cab. But i would like to know first if it is safe to delete the files i mentioned in my topic start post.
Anyway thanks everyone for the input. Keep it coming this way )
Registry editor is available on this ROM, its part of the TaskManager
Start->Program->Accessories->TaskManager
Go to Menu->Create RegEdit Shortcut.
Regedit is then available from the Drop Down arrow in top right hand corner.

Pocket Informant is excellent replacement for outlook although its not free, not tried the ones you mentioned. I believe most of the replacements use the same database to store the appt/task/etc and therefore all you appointments will automatically be available.
Thanks premkang. Unfortunately the Task Manager on the lite version is 2.0 instead of 2.8. The 2.0 version doesn't allow to enter the registry.
About PocketGba: I disabled the cube, performed a soft reset et voila 22MB of free program memory. I can now run Fire Emblem, but whenever a battle is about to take place the Artemis freezes. I'm guessing the Artemis isn't really equiped to run these kinds of games smoothly (even after altering video settings). If someone else has it working, let me know.
hey mate, don't know if any of this'll help, but...
with regard to your gaming problem have you seen the change pool size thread? allows you to change the memory pool size so that you can allocate more memory for larger applications (but a less memory for fast system operation) and vice versa. i gather, running vanilla, you want the quick system so it might not be of any help;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323885&highlight=change+page+pool
also your tt6 query, i don't like it being installed on the device without the option to install on the storage card. i cut all files on the device that you mentioned and placed them in prog files on the storage (same as they would be in prog files on device). i then copied the tomtom navigator.exe (the one with the red hands 2.4mb) and in windows folder paste shortcut in;
1.AppButtons - to allow button config for tt, if required.
2.StartMenu/Programs - so that it shows up in the programs menu.
this frees up 2.5mb on the device. i dont know about which files can be deleted though. all i have on my storage card are;
main storage card;
Western_Europe...map - (file)
Voices (file)
Zip (postcodes ((file))
ttnavigator.bif (331b)
Program Files/Navigator within this are
contacts (file)
itn (file)
logging (file)
voices (file)
ttnavigator.bif (331b)
CurrentMap.dat (45b)
navigator.cfg (252b)
TomTomNavigator.exe (2.4mb)
DATA.CHK (2.6mb)
had it running for a while and all is fine. sorry if this is f*$king long winded, i'm a bit pissed and a novice, so i don't know if it's any help at all!!
good luck mate
also with regard to your query for xt9 saving ive started a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1767135#post1767135, handy idea - like it
I want to have my storage card be the default storage location for my emails, email attachments, My Documents and media files.
For my Tilt, I had 3 or 4 cab files that I would install after a new flash that accomplished this. Are there any cab files for the Tilt 2 that would set the Storage Card as the default location?

Thanks for the suggestion. I see it has settings for most of these options, however, there is no setting (at least from what I see) to move my emails to the storage card. That is actually the most important one to me because I have 4 or 5 email accounts that I want to sync with the phone.
Can anyone at least post the registry changes to make this happen? A cab file would be ideal, but I would be willing to make changes to the registry as well.
Thanks in advance!

For email attachments there is an option called "Storage" on the messaging options page. I don't think you can put the emails on the card because I think they are maintained in the PIM database in main memory.
I'm using SPB Plus, which puts an option into the Internet Explorer download menus so that you can change the download location.

I know on my Tilt I was able to save the emails on my storage card (even the MS exchange ones). However, I had a cab file that was about 1kb large that made the proper changes. Since that cab was written for a 2 1/2 year old device running WM 6.1, I'm nervous about running it on my Tilt 2. That's why I was hoping there existed such a file for the Tilt 2, or at least some registry changes floating around.
I keep searching but so far I'm not coming up with anything.

Do you still have that cab handy? Maybe if you post it here, one of the members can open it up and see exactly what changes it makes, so we can know what it does and if you can just run it, or make the changes manually.
(I'm almost to the point where I could do that for you, just not quite yet. It is possible though, for anybody who's used to assembling cabs)

I didn't even think about doing that. Instead of trying to describe these files, I could have just uploaded them. Here they go! Thank you for suggesting that. I really hope someone can repackage it for the Tilt 2.
I also attached 3 other files that behave in the same way for other types of items (temporary internet files, my documents folder, etc).
Thanks again!

These should work with your TP2. I believe this is what they do:
Temmp_Internet_SD.cab sets up the IE cache on the SD card
Rt_sd.Cab sets the system to use ringtones from the SD card
emailatt_sd.cab sets the system to store emails and attachments to the SD card
mydocs_sdcard sets the system to use the SD card when synchronizing with the computer.
However, you have lots of storage space on your TP 2. Why do you want to use the SD card? It has slower access than the main memory on the TP2.

I guess I can back up the device and give it a try. Is there anything in these files that can't be reversed by a hard reset - in case it's not compatible?
As for the use of the storage card, I have at least 5 (there are actually about 7 that I monitor daily) email accounts that I would like to have on my phone. I also like to sync not only the inbox, but many of the sub folders as well. On my Tilt, I actually ran out of room just from emails alone (attachments were on the card) before finding these cab files.
Once I get home, I'll give these files a try and see if they work or fry the phone...lol.

Yes, but the Tilt had a lot less memory, if I recall correctly. It is hard to believe you are low on storage on a Tilt 2 / TP 2! How much storage memory is left on your phone?
The changes are to the registry, actually all you need to do is backup the registry before running the .cab files. If it doesn't work, just restore the registry.

I ran the cab that I used on my first Tilt and it worked perfectly!
Thanks for the suggestion, I would have never had the nerve to use it!

Usually, cabs are built such that when they uninstall, they change whatever registry settings they altered back to their original values. However, as long as you do what stevedebi suggested and backup your registry before installations like that, you'll never be farther away than a quick backup from correcting any issues some cab might have left behind.
Nope a hard reset is the be all and end all of starting over. You cant screw anything up by loading a cab, even a wrong one into windows. A hard reset just loads a brand spanking new install of the operating system as it was shipped.

Asking
Can those *.cab work well with WM 6.5? I'm using HTC Snap.
Thanks.
Working great on 6.5

They work fine with WM 6.5. I use them on my Touch Pro 2 with no problems at all!
Cabs Did Not Work For Me, Anyone Else Have Problems?
Just installed 2 cabs below:
emailatt_sd.cab sets the system to store emails and attachments to the SD card
mydocs_sdcard sets the system to use the SD card when synchronizing with the computer.
The first only moved my SMS to SD card which I had already done w/SK Tools, it did nothing with my emails. Created a folder just called Mail and stuck all my SMS messages in it.
The second cab did nothing.
Anyone else have problems w/these cabs?
