Not sure what version it is but it's the latest one as of a few weeks ago. It's zipped because apparently you can't post a cab file here.

EDIT: checked the about on my PPC and it's version .70

greatly increased my one-handed productivity!!!

wow i am so happy that i got this working correctly...i mentioned it in the remapping contacts soft button thread but i think it deserves a mention in this thread...

i have bound handyswitcher to my start menu hardware button...i figured i didn't need the start menu nearly as much as i needed the ability to switch between and close programs with one hand...next, i was able to remap my calendar soft button to the start menu...thus regaining that lost hardware button (with the caveat that you can only access it from the today screen...but using handyswitcher's minimize all (with one hand) gets me there)

as a recap...handyswitcher allows you to toggle between open programs...it also has buttons that allow you to minimize all, close all and close all except active...

version 2.5 will be available soon...they made it so you could properly use the 5way joystick to navigate the handyswitcher menu...attached is a 15-day preview/beta version of the 2.5 version which should be released soon, according to DinarSoft (current version is 2.2 and it works great except that the hardware button sometimes closes the program instead of switching to it...)

next, using this link
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=769373
i was able to remap my calendar button to open the start menu...i don't use the calendar much and i can always run it one-handed through the today screen appointments plugin instead of using the soft button...

basically you install a program called mortrunner (free! ) which allows you to make a file "startmenu.mortrun" that, when executed, will simulate a click/stylus press on a given point on the screen...in this case, "0,0" hits the start menu button...it does not run in the background, so it won't use extra memory...it just executes the command then closes. i bound the calendar soft button to this file...

as a result...i can always get to my start menu using the soft button or i can use handyswitcher to minimize all and then use the soft button.

this is working out great for me. if u need any help let me know.

PhoneAlarm will let you change the vibration length. It's a great program which is a must-have for PPC phones.

HACK FOR GPS

I found this hack to make the GPS icon and options appear on your phone .

HKLM/CONTROLPANEL/GPS SETTINGS
delete hide
add Group and give value of 2(dec)

This ads the GPS icon to your connections tab.

Are there anymore hidden programs like this that we can discover and add to your device? All those with some of these please post.

If you use the built in Windows Media Player, and are sick of the blue, alternative skins are available.

Im not sure if any one mentioned this yet. I shut off my blinking LED by going:

Hkey_Local_Machine/Drivers/Builtin/AllLEDMgr

And change the Index value from 1 to 0


Then soft reset.

Cheryl...

Here are a couple of suggestions. First, go buy a miniSD card for your PPC. Get a big one (>= 512M). You know, sometimes people just say "trust me on this one?" Well, trust me on this one. You'll want one.

Then pop your PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700 in its cradle and let it ActiveSync. On the Desktop PC's ActiveSync window click "Explore." Then in the Mobile Device window that pops up, double-click "My Windows Based Device..." followed by "Storage Card." This gets you to the root directory of the miniSD card you just bought.

Create a directory called "CABs" or "Stuff" or "JoeGuruIsDogFood" or whatever you want. This is where you're going to put 2 things: CAB files you download and the occasional PPC (read-->PPC) .EXE files. Copy the ARM (read-->ARM) .CAB file over to your newly-created CABs directory.

Wait for it to completely copy, then pull the PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700' rel='nofollow' class='nuwiki_new_link'>PPC-6700 out of the cradle and launch it's "File Explorer" (Start, Programs, File Explorer).

Change the directory (tap the pull down in the upper left) to "Storage Card" and navigate to the "CABs" directory you just created. Tap on the program you want to install and it will launch the installer and give you a couple of decisions: install to device memory or storage card.

This is an interesting and important decision, and here's why. Your
