'Admin policy' broken on WM2003 !

'Admin Policy' is a little-known feature of Microsoft PocketPC that was built mainly for security-aware corporate customers. It allows one to lock a PocketPC device in a mode that no longer display a 'run' dialog, disallows the addition of external programs via ActiveSync or through Internet Explorer, disallows renaming of files to .exe and disallows remote changes to the registry through 'RapiRegMod'.
To be able to play with 'Admin Policy', on most PPCs one has to rename the registry value 'Redirect' in the registry at '\HKLM\Controlpanel\AdminPassword' to something else. Then go to 'Settings' / 'System' and look for the 'Policy' applet.
To enter the 'Secure Mode' the user has to enter a password, and the same password needs to be entered if the user is to leave again. The unicode representation of this password (0x0000 appended) is hashed using MD5 and placed in the binary value 'AdminInfo' in '\HKLM\Security\Policies\Shell' (on WM2003) or '\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Shell' (on PPC2002).
However, they forgot to move the DWORD value 'NoExternalExes' (set to one when the Admin Policy is on) from the old to the new spot in the registry, and so the whole system just doesn't work on WM2003: you can still move binaries to the device and run them.
It still claims it works: it says:
Once enabled, users will not be able to download new programs via Pocket Internet Explorer, ActiveSync, or beaming to their mobile device. Users will not be able to rename programs to enable them to start on the device.

But that's Not True (tm) until you manually add the 'NoExternalExes' value.

Collection of all the fixes for WM6

We should post all the fixes the have been found for wm6 on the dash here to make it easier to find....
Reminder FIX:
From RandyRants.com:
Step 1: Make a change to your Normal profile. Raise the volume of some alert or something. Change something to get the device to create the following file: \Application Data\Profiles\Normal.prof.xml
Step 2: Connect via ActiveSync on XP or WMDC on Vista and copy this file to your desktop.
Step 3: Edit this XML file - add the following blurb to the SoundCategories section:
<characteristic type="Reminder">
<parm name="Script" value="v0p" />
<parm name="InitVol" value="4" />
</characteristic>
Step 4: Save this file on your PC.
Step 5: Set the System flag on this file. You can do this with a right click on the file and setting the properties or via a command prompt: attrib +s normal.prof.xml.
Step 6: Now copy it back to \Application Data\Profiles
I posted this to another thread, but the steps have changed... seems that if you don't have the System attribute set on the profile XML files before moving them to the phone it renders them useless. It also seems that on Vista with WMDC it keeps the attributes fine (inspite of having to change the OS to even see the files) but on XP/2003 with ActiveSync the System flag is removed when the file comes from the phone.
Either way, good luck with it!

Default
getwsted at HF found a solution for the screen rotation issue:
Add the following Key "Rotation" under HKLM\System\GDI\
e.g. [HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation]
Then Add this dword.
"LandscapeMode"=0
It solved my problem with Orb and other Videos with WMP in full screen mode.

SMS Sent Notification Removal:
Download this Here YOU HAVE TO SOFT RESET FOR IT TO WORK!!
Bluetooth Voice Command Fix:
WM6 Voice Command 1.6
Voice Command is a very powerful program that will allow you to control your WM6 Excalibur with your voice.
* Hands-free phone
* Dial your phone by voice using the phone number
* Contact lookup
* View contacts with a voice command
* Have the subject, time, and location of upcoming appointments read to you
* Media player
* Program starter
* Device Status
Enable Voice Command
Start > Voice Command
Voice Enabled > Yes
Announcement Routing > Bluetooth if Available
This setting will allow Voice Command to use the Excalibur phone speaker to respond to vocal commands, if you don't have a bluetooth headset connected.
IMPORTANT: Soft Reset to enable the changes to Voice Command
After the soft reset, press and hold the home key. This is the default Record Application Button which activates Voice Command. When you hear the beep say, "Help". Voice command will then guide you through the available voice commands.
IMPORTANT: Do not talk directly into the microphone. Hold the phone 4 inches/100mm from your voice. The response from Voice Command will take a few seconds.
A Voice Command tutorial from Microsoft is here.
Enable Voice Command with a Bluetooth Headset
With the current beta release of WM6, you need to modify the following registry settings to use your bluetooth headset with this feature.
NOTE: Your Excalibur has to be application unlocked to make modifications to the registry.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule
The string value needs to be changed from "OEMAGW.dll" to "\Windows\vcbthag.dll".
IMPORTANT: Soft Reset to enable the changes to Voice Command
After the phone reboots, your bluetooth headset will now be able to use Voice Command by pressing the button on your headset. Wait for the beep, then speak the command.
Viel Spaß mit Voice Command,

k i done it

Thanks for the fixes. Unfortunately, none of the work for me. I have the files unhidden and apparently no files appear in my App Data/Profiles folder when modifying any of the profiles.
Also, when trying to add a new key to the GDI registry folder, I get an error message saying I can't do so. I'm using Resco Explorer's registry editor btw.

My friend I had the very same problem you are having now. The reason you are getting that error message is because, your wm6 ROM got corrupted some how. what I did was, reinstall the clean wm5 ROM all over again, after that, I reinstall the new wm6 official upgrade Rom and also you will have to application unlock your device all over again! Now everything will work fine!

Reminder FIX - doesn work.
The reminder fix doesn't seem to work with the release version of WM6 for the Dash.
In fact, if you do this mod, you woun't be able to switch to "Normal" profile.
It seems if the OS determines that the profile's XML file is inavlid in some way, it will refuse to load it, and this mod seems to be invalid to the OS.
This is a BIG bug with the dash (no reminder volume setting) - I hope they release a patch for it.
UPDATE: I just found and read the full version of this fix (where you need to change the "system" attribute) and it actually now does work. I am going to try to create a CAB file to do the patch so users won't have to do all the copy to/from their PC.
UPDATE: See this page for the CAB file - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1271705#post1271705

Does anyone know how to ensure that your time is always in sync with your Exchange server? I never had this problem with WM5 but since I have upgraded my Dash's internal clock seems to have gone cuckoo. If I turn it off, and turn it back on my Dash thinks it's the same time that I turned it off at. It's like the clock just stops (would be nice if it happened in real life!)
Barring a fix, does anyone know of a utility that syncs WM time with a time server over the net using SNTP?
Edit: I found this:
http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_downloads.html#tsync

hope everyone is finding these fixes useful...

see thats why we use the wiki, so you don't need to bump

Somehow when copying back edited profile files, it does not retain System attribute on the flag, which, as already mentioned earlier, renders profiles unsuable.
Here is a simple workaround that I came across:
1) On your phone, open Vibrate profile for editing. Change something and save. This will force it to create the Meeting.Prof.xml profile file in the Profiles folder.
2) From ActiveSync, navigate to that folder on your phone and rename the file to Normal.Prof.xml
Now you can go back to your phone, open Normal profile for editing and the Reminder option will be there.
Hope this helps.

Unable to change profile
Unable to change profile?
Delete files in Application Data/Home/Profiles
then go to Start - Settings - Profiles
Switch to your desired Profile or re-customize your settings on every profile that you want
**xxxx.prof.xml files in Application Data/Home/Profiles contains the customizations made on every profile, example if you have only customized the Normal profile, normal.prof.xml will be automatically generated at Application Data/Home/Profiles.So deleting the xx.prof.xml file will revert the profile customization back to default.

Use free Celetask with IE hotkey

Celetask is supercool task manager:
Include New Task, Close task, Switch Task and View Task Properties.
Start any application through command line.
CeleTask can also execute any menu command in command line.
Include Terminate Process, View Process Modules, Properties.
Tool box with full customization support. Include Power Status, Memory Status, Free Memory, Reboot System, Shutdown System, etc.
Hot Key Customization
User can assign a hot key for any command.
All this with one press the Internet button
I use Internet button to start the Celetask and I set the hotkey of Celetask to shutdown all apps with another press of Internet button. I use "8 button" to clean the ram. And that how with 3 clicks I close all aps and clean the memory
The "1" button I use for soft restart.
To use this task manager with hotkey just download the attachment end copy two files in WINDOWS folder.
I see this in Kavana new 6.1 ROM, but you can use it in all other ROMS.

This is the newest version of celetask,Yonsm(the author of celetask) build it for me,and it's include Excalibur's HotKey name,the best taskmanager for Excalibur
The original one is chinese Interface,i made it to english interface as the default interface.
Enjoy it.

This is version 2.0 I think. Version 2.2 is free only in Chinese (not problem for you anyway ).

Can you attach the latest version in English here please.

No problem, and you can try CeleCmd,it's also a good software,it help me do everything (install cab,create shortcut,input reg,and so on)after cold boot,my rom is also base on CeleCmd

I try it, but nowhere i can find documentation in English .
Can you attach the CeleTask last version in English now?

this is a great proggie. i've used it to create a shortcut to soft reset. the only problem is that it asks me to confirm i want to restart the phone. there's probably a way to bypass this, but i've not figured it out.
anyone know if there's a way to use celetask to restart the phone without a confirmation message?

Yes:
Menu-->Options-->Show Alert
Just remove the check and Celetask will make everything without questions.

Now I have a question:
how to make a hotkey with Celetask to start anoother program.
I see I can add programs to tools but can connect hotkey to them

i have the opposite question littleclown...
for some reason activesync is in my celetask and i don't want it there. there's no reason for it to start at startup. at least i don't think it's necessary anyway. it fires up just fine on it's own when i plug it into the computer.
i can't seem to get it removed from the program list in celetask.
can anyone fill me in on the trick?

Fake server for Activesync
The following info comes from Aximsite
1. open the Activesync program.
2. Select Menu at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. This will bring up the Options Menu. Notice the option Schedule... is greyed out? This is the all-critical option we need to get access to. But as it's disabled we can't change Activesync's default synchronisation schedule.
Ok, so how do we enable the Schedule option? Easy!!! Fool Activesync into thinking there is an Exchange Server to sync with:
1. From Activesync's Menu select Add Server Source.
2. In the following screens you can enter any old garbage. It does not matter, but just in case your unsure, just type the following in the indicated boxes:
Server Address: fake
Tap Next
User name: fake
Password: fake
Domain: fake
(Select save password or going into the Advanced menu makes no difference, so no need to bother).
Next
Untick all of the 'Data you want to synchronise' options
Tap Finish
3. Ok, we're done creating the server. You should now see in Activesync's main screen your normal Activesync connection(s), and a new connection called Exchange Server.
4. Go back into the Menu, and lo and behold the Schedule option is now enabled! Go ahead and tap it!
5. You will see that both options in the Schedule screen are set to Every X Minutes.
6. Using the drop downs, change both the Peak times and Off-peak times boxes to Manually.
7. Press the OK button.
Now
1. Go back into Activesync's Menu, then Tap Options.
2. Highlight Exchange Server, then tap Delete. A warning message will appear about removing files etc, but as you have no files associated with the fake Exchange Server, it's nothing to worry about - just tap Ok.
3. The list will now only show your remaining PC Sync connection(s).
I did and Activesync stop starting automatically, however after you connect with your PC you need to close Activesync with Celetask

thanks!
unfortunately it didn't work.
i'm trying something else. will report back.

Click on Tools then Reset Device.
Now goto your TP2 Weather Tab and Add Location using the new locations.
Good Luck, Jeff

Or you could just make sure 2330f3c3_manila is read only, then install weather database. Add locations and do a soft reset.
Worked for me on Sprint... Maybe I'm missing something extra you're doing though?

I searched different sites and some people had success and others not with what your suggesting. I did what was posted in my quest for getting my location to work. Its' a whole lot of extra work but it does work.
Could you post the link for the DL of the program you're using? Thanks.

You need 3.5 .NET Framework first,

I've got the T-Mobile TP2, but had the same problem - when first run, the weather database editor couldn't unlock the database.
Here's what I did (very simple...)
a) Connect via ActiveSync, explore (from the PC) to the \Windows folder on the TP2
b) Copy the file 2330fc3c_manilla from the TP2 to the PC (note, the file _2330fc3c_manilla doesn't seem to exist on the T-Mobile device, but isn't needed for changing Cities)
c) On the PC, remove the readonly flag
d) Copy the file back into the Windows folder on the TP2
e) Run Weather Database Editor, add my City, close the editor
f) Soft reset the TP2
g) In Manilla, use the normal method to add the new city to the tab
One thing to note - in step e), you don't have to use the 'weather code' from Accuweather - I found that just making sure I completed the country, state and city fields - and then adding the US zip code as the 'Accu Weather Code' worked great.
I used the WeatherDatabaseEditor 1.2 CAB to install, on a stock US T-Mobile ROM
Hope this helps

I had the same problems with Weather Database as well. This is why I went thru the efforts on the start of this post. Having said that, installed the Weather Database again and .net 3.5 compact framework. It didn't work as LifeStealer and thefixer pointed out the manila file was read only. I thank all those for the information and Popdog54 at sprintmogul.net for shedding light on the subject. I will leave my post the way it is as an alternative (lengthy but alternative) way to change/add cities. Again thanks.

I just tried this method as well, also on a Verizon TP2, but I'm unable to save back the modified (read only removed) file to \Windows. I get the error: "Cannot copy 2300fcc_manila: Access is denied. Make sure your mobile device has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read-only, and that you have permission to copy this file type"
Any thoughts?

I'm on sprint so... obviously sprint made a special TP2 just for me.
Oh wait thats not it.
If its read only then make it not read only. Simple I didn't even transfer over, I just copied from folder to SD -> removed flag -> pasted back on top of the old one.
*shrug*

got ouya on fire tv, but can't install telling me enable unknown sources

So in another thread it gives you the apk files needed to get the ouya launcher. I've gotten into the ouya store, but any game I try to download and install, complains that I need to enable "Unknown sources". My box is rooted which I thought automatically emulates "Unknown sources". I've seen the guy in the video run Bombsquad, and he mentions to "Enable Unknown sources". Anyone has this working, what needs to be done to get games to install and play on Ouya.

Need to go into Settings (from Original AFTV launcher) and System, then Developers Option and turn on Install from Unknown Sources.
If you have an earlier version of AFTV, then you need to do the SQLite method, do a search for it.

Anyone has this working, what needs to be done to get games to install and play on Ouya.

I had this same problem today...I coudlen't get the ADB commands to work...But I found out it's done via SQLITE editing ...so I did another solution
*buy* (or find) SQLIte Editor...(or an app that can edit SQL database files) and sideload it.
Download LanMote Lite from the play store(you need mouse support) and Sideload it. Once done RUN LanMote Lite and start the server (Free version is limited to 30 minutes so act quickly) On your HTML 5 device (preferrably a smartphone or tablet) [PC works but mouse is slow and wonky] connect to the same wifi as the FTV (if you didnt do it already) and open your web browser and put in the address LANMOTE will show on the FTV (example http://xx.xx.xx:9999) also enable different cursor.
Go to FTV home and go to settings>>APPLICATIONS >> your SQLITE editing program.
(in SQLITE Editor) Allow SU permisions and use your amazon remote (it works for simple navigation for now) to go to FILES TAB and go to
DATA>>>DATA>>>com.android.providers.settings >>SETTINGS.DB
go to the GLOBAL folder. You should see a list with different settings (BE CAREFUL)
(now this is where you need a mouse)
on your HTML 5 device (smartphone) go the MOUSE Tab and use the mouse pad to mouse near the entry that says INSTALL_NON_MARKET_APPS you will notice that default for this option is 0 (which means off/ disabled) Mouse over the 0 and tap the "click" button on your HTML device. you will notice the entire row becomes gray.
Use your Amazon Remote and click EDIT RECORD. cursor down to the 0 and change it to a 1
use your remote and scroll below it should give a CANCEL and SAVE button. Click save with the remote.
go back to home and enjoy sideloading unknown sources.
