I'm starting this thread so Axim users of Football's (et al.) wm6 ROM can share what, if any, applications or hacks found on xda-devs that you have tried and recommend for our favorite VGA non-phone HTC device with the latest OS.. Also post which did not work, worked but not useful , and what tweaks were needed to get them to fuction best.
Note: Please note the original thread/post and give credit to the original developer/poster when you can. Also note what device (x50v or x51v) and ROM used.
HTC Audio Manager for VGA
I tested this version of the HTC Audio Manager and it works well and displays in full VGA. (Other versions found would not display well)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327188
The only problem I see is that the remote bluetooth controls do not work like they do on WMP. Also, you better like green.
Tested on Axim x51v with WM6 A02beta
pBar by nncuong
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284952&highlight=pBar
Task switcher/close-button/quick-launcher/wireless-toggler/system-info application all in one tiny place. Basically a magicbutton-like replacement for the fake 'close' button.
Just download and place the pBar.exe anywhere on the device. Latest version (v1.4) has problem that hitting the OK button on dialogs may minimize or close the main app if you select the 'Show Child Windows' option.
Tested on x51v WM5 A17, WM6 A01 and A02Beta (now also tested on A03 preview).
PocketCM Keyboard by Tene
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321712
Alternative keyboard SIP with better feedback for "finger typing" (similar to eye-fone keyboard). Fully configurable to any keyboard layout/language you may need with word completion/correction and predictive text.
Note: You will also need a VGA skin or it will not display correctly. (Rename the zip file you download to .skin and copy it to the application install directory - '\Program Files\PCMKeyboard\' if installed on device )
Usable, but new versions are rapidly being released with additional features. (Currently at v 0.8)
I found a 'spanish' layout in the forums that I like because it has more keys on the last line (including . and , keys near the space bar). Even though it is a 'spanish' keyboard layout, the dictionary can still be set to english.
Tested on x51v with wm6 A01 and A02beta.
Contact Manager v0.11 by TENE (Not PocketCM)
Want a scrolling, finger friendly contact list (ala eye-phone).
I have tested the original Contact Manager v.11 application found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314048&highlight=ContactManager
Unfortunately, this is no longer in development, and has morphed into PocketCM (also by Tene). PocketCM was designed for wm6 phones and will not work on the x51v (Error on startup). According to Tene, it will not work on any non-phone PDA.
Direct link to old CM v.11 http://www.pocketcm.com/olddl.php
Tested on x51v WM6 A01 and A02beta
Anyone try the other finger scrolling Contact Managers out there?

I tried various versions (3 tab, 5 tab, configurable, VGA specific versions) and they all seem to install, but no option in the today screen settings to activate. Has anyone figured out how to activate the plugin after install?

That has nothing to do with this thread. And no, if Dell never released WM5 for the X5 series, there's no reason to think WM6 will be released for it.
what about Internet Caliing (wm6 voip ) at Ax? it doesn't seem to work at all.

Are you referring to something like Skype?
this is not a app but it adds the clicks when you click on menus and stuff
tested and worked on x50v WM6 A02 rom was from the a person that work on the porting of wm6 to HTC Wizard don't remember
I also tested the home plug in and battery tray icon from the htc touch rom don't show up. (install but don't see them)
it maybe a vga compatible problem
I tried the Fix_WM6_Sounds.CAB file from above on Football's wm6 A03 preview. Works well. Adds the "dinks" and other sounds when clicking the menu. After CAB install, I did not notice the new sounds until a soft reset.
In the Football x51v WM6 thread, someone complained that there is no 'uninstall' of the CAB if you want to stop the new sounds. What I noticed is that after you install the CAB and go to Sounds and Notifications, the settings may be unchecked even though the sounds are activated. Just enable all the settings for the sounds (even if they are already active) then uncheck them. (i.e. cycle on, then off) By unchecking Events, Screen Taps and Hardware buttons, I was able to 'silence' my Axim as before.
Edit: Menu clicks are part of Events. After this CAb install, you can't silence the clicks without silencing all event sounds. See this thread for more info and two other sound schemes you may want instead of this one that adds all sounds back to wm6.
Note: It appears that all of these CABs add missing/new sound files and registry entries to access them. Fix_WM6_Sounds.CAB adds sounds to the scheme called .AllSounds. The CABs in the other thread add two more (.WM5 and .WM6). According to that thread, you can switch between them by changing the registry entry for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Snd\Event\.Scheme followed by a soft reset. You could also edit the .AllSounds key to remove the sound file definition for menu actions. See the other thread for the locations of the string in the key. (looks like its position 10 & 11).
This is another useful post about sound schemes.
Update: I created this Registry code that defines a new scheme called ".SomeSounds" and sets this as the scheme to use. The only difference between this and .AllSounds is that I set menupop and menusel to "empty" sound, thus eliminating the clicks on menu but not the other events. Note : you need to do a soft reset after importing the registry. Use a software based soft reset because for some reason the hardware reset button on the back will reset the registry back as well. I use the soft reset button on pBar.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Snd\Event]
".SomeSounds"=hex(7):41,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,72,00,69,00,73,00,6b,00,00,00,43,00,6c,00,6f,00,73,\

Okay guys, I didn't find a thread that has collected these so here goes.
If there is a thread and I missed, please direct me there and I will remove this thread and move it's contents over.
There are only 2 rules in this thread:
1. No WAREZ... Shareware/Freeware or add-ons distributed without cost by the developer only.
2. This is a repository, not a Q & A. Post your packages with clear descriptions and be sure they actually work (as in you have personally used and confirmed proper operation of them).
Note these will work with any Rom Kitchen Setup that uses Bepe's CreateOS Utility. All you need to do is unzip the package into the OEM Folder and it will now be displayed on the Utility.
1-Calc Lite (Freeware) & ActiveSync Remote Display
ActiveSync Remote Display is the PPC Device Side Component that allow you to Remote to your PPC when you're conntected via Active Sync. This is the later version (v2.03)
1-Calc Lite is the Freeware version of OmegaOne's PPC Calculator Program. I prefer this to the OEM Calculator as it has more functions.
Enable HSDPA Icon This changes the [3G] Icon to [H] when there is an active HSDPA Data Session.
Hey kyphur - i've been thinking of the same idea - and perhaps all the proven to work oem's can be uploaded to a oem section of the ftp. I say proven because quite a few oem's have registry keys, files missing etc...
Good to see you active around here again
OrangeUK PreConfig
Made this this morning waiting for Soccer AM to start.
MMS & GPRS work fine for me.
Doesn't include an EXEC command to run a .tsk today screen file like most preconfig OEMs do because I don't know what your you've included in your setup.
If you want to add that, just edit Preconfig.txt to include the line somewhere above 'LOCK:disabled' -
"EXEC:\Windows\cusTSK.exe \Windows\yourtodayscheme.tsk"
(without quotes)
sorry to be off-track for a second, but Kyphur .. is that really you? Welcome back! We have missed you these many months since you started us all off with the first XDA WM 6 ROM on this site! I realize you have been back for a bit (after a little searching) but I just realized it myself this am.
Post by developer or anyone?
Hi Kyphur!!! Welcome back!!!
Great idea!!! I have my own personal repository, but I am not sure if I should be posting packages for which the developer is around and may have evolved/improved/updated them. It would be sort of like stealing their thunder
Please let me know if something is needed and if I have it, I'd be happy to upload if the original devs agree with this.
Phone alarm is a paid for bit of software, but you can download the trial from the web site. I wish to package this (and add my serial). I do not see this as contrary to the rules of the first post, but would like to check.
Have had problems trying to package it, so would appreciate it if anyone else has managed it could give me some tips.... (if someone has done it it will save me ages of comparing registry changes etc)
Here are some new
Here are the new addons I built tonight:
-The well knows network wizard
-A newer version of HTC Audio Manager (Black skin)
-pbar (really great task manager)
-Reg tweak that remove the battery and comm mgr icon located at the bottom of the today screen
-New Windows Live Messenger build 1600
Enjoy
Package ok so far; my kitchen went crazy but those *should* be fine
Keyboard Layout TyTn
also for those people with Vario 2's etc ("English" keyboards)
Keyboard Layout 8525
for Cingular keyboards
Task Manager
slightly amended from the "standard" as it includes shortcuts for Reset, Regedit and Suspend
The Keyboard Layouts were made by Matt_Kr over at the Pandora project, and the Task Manager was amended by me to include the icons from VP3G's ROM. Thanks guys, and ALL credit to original authors.

MODERATOR EDIT: Content removed
Including your paid for serial number would make it Warez. If you package the latest version without a serial number then you are okay.

I need this oem package to build my new rom. Thanks
Hello everyone
After reading a lot of tutorials on how to make OEM packages and testing for a few days, I am now releasing my first OEM Package compilation
Widcomm Bluetooth Stack 0.3 for hermes
Edited from the 0.3 cab file, this is an OEM package that you can cook using Pandora or Hypercore Kitchen. Just simply place it into the OEM folder of your build and give it a try
Link here:
Widcomm Bluetooth Stack for Hermes
please gimme a feedback if it works on your kitchen or not
-
a few things before you include this package in your kitchen/cooking:
1.) it will occupy roughly 8mb of rom space, yes, it is costly, but in return you can have ftp browsing, a2dp, HID input (mouse/keyboard), etc.
2.) I have yet to try removing the original microsoft stack and only cook the widcomm into a rom, but i doubt it would be a problem as it is completely independent.
3.) by default, when your device first boots, it will be turned on. But once you turn it off, it stays off even after you reboot. the status sticks.
4.) make sure you turn off any OBEX bluetooth support and original microsoft a2dp support, as it might cause problems ( you can turn them off in advanced config by Schaps)
5.) Comm Managers can not trigger the on/off for this widcomm stack at the moment, I may try to make an rgu entry to modify this later, if it is possible
leave me any feedback if you have tried cooking this into your rom and runs successfully! i may modify this to make it compatible for Artemis, Prophet, or other devices =)
Credit goes to SuperDave for originally writing the 0.3 Widcomm
Original Post
I forgot to add the shortcuts for WirelessPower.lnk and WirelessPowerConfig.lnk into the Program Menu folder, I guess i will do that later =) too lazy to edit initflashfiles and shortcuts
Re:updated the file with shortcut to turn on bluetooth stack by buttons. by the way, once this is cooked you can use both microsoft stack and widcomm stack (not together at the same time but the stack can be used alternatively without installing/uninstalling the widcomm stack).
Thanks !!!
Thank you for making this available. I am struggling with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack as it it not compatible with Mobile 6. I was forced to downgrade to 5 for about 3 months now.
Do you happen to have an image that already has this stack in it ? if not then I will try to create one today.
Thanks Again !!!!
For the slow kids in class...
What is this?

Widcomm
Microsoft Bluetooth stack is not known to be the most robust implementation of Bluetooth.
Windcomm is in theory a better stack that should give better compatibility experience in general.
The issue it was not packaged for the Hermes and there is an effort underway to make it work.
I tested this version a bit today. it seems to work but I did not have an audio device to test with. I will try later from home.
ok thank you i try this
yeah, this stack is meant to make widcomm drivers to work on hermes.
one thing i forgot to mention, you would need to manually make a BTTrayCE.lnk (shortcut) to %startup% so that it will have a tray icon in your system.
I'll upload a newer OEM package later tonight when i got home
(by the way it's tested to work on all languages).
will this work on the Kaiser also or will it need to be ported for that platform separately?
Cook in?
@Kazuni:
Does the stack need to be cooked in or can it also be installed to an existing configuration? If so, could you please provide a CAB version?
Thanks!
it doesnt need to be cooked in. infact the link i provided in the first post had listed the source for the cab

it will also work on kaiser, but kaiser roms are not cookable yet, so look for the cab.
