Here's my WM5 tweak 'wishes':

1) Option to keep GPRS connected all the time (The shell-orange app does not work).

2) Tweak to sort the IE favourites so the folders remain at the top of the page.

3) Tweak to set the MRU with a predefined lists of apps when the phone starts. (Mids tweak no longer works).

discussion of WM5 is I think prohibitted in these forums.... not to be a pain. I'm unsure however alot of ppl ask about where to obtain WM5 after reading these type's of Q's etc... and that sort of stuff is not allowed

but i think the tweaks you want can also be done on the WM2003SE devices so it won't differ

@Tech
I think Page is referring to iMate SP5 tweaks (SP5 runs WM5.0)

@Pagemakers
How about a simple GridToggler? My suggestion: assign speed dial key to each shortcut.

A cab version. Im not sure if this will work so kindly use at own risk. Hehehe.

I take it the WM5 doesn't have Settings-Data Connections Menu-Options anymore ? You used to be able to set 'Idle disconnect' to never.

Pzee I installed th tweak but I don't see it anywhere....

Martin - GPRS disconnects if you press the red end key (also used to lock the phone). The shell-orange mod used to prevent that from happening but sadly it doesn't work on WM5

Thanks for trying it Page.

Look for 'Grid Toggle' folder on your Start Menu. The 2 shortcuts are inside that folder. Allow cab to be installed and see if it changes grid view.

No icons in the start menu get created, nor in accessories.

Since WM5/AS4 does not allow contacts/category sync a nice tweak would be the ability to open contacts with a custom filter set instead of the filter 'show all'.

Oh no.

Maybe you can just manually create shortcuts. Open \Storage Card\Program Files\GridToggle then create shortcuts to the 2 cab files inside the folder, transfer the shortcuts to your Start Menu then finally, assign speed dial keys.

Hi Peter,

the path for Start Menu is different, it´s not \Storage\Windows\Start Menu, it´s \Windows\Start Menu.
After copying the "Grid Toggle" folder to the correct Start Menu folder you can see it ans it works great 8)

So no longer \Storage\Windows\Start Menu but instead \Windows\Start Menu? Thats cool. Thanks so much for the info!

Made a bit of inf adjustment. Cab now points to \Windows\Start Menu\Grid Toggle per Peter's tip.

I hope I got it right this time... :roll:

Hmm. They still don't get created in \Windows\Start Menu

[gpcarreon (MVP)]

Oh my. Now this is quite tough. :|

My INF reads...
[DestinationDirs]
CopyFiles=0,"\Windows\Start Menu\Grid Toggle"

On 2003SE, \Windows would be the root windows folder. :roll:

@pzee: now it works perfectly ... 8)

@Pagemakers: have you disabled security ?

Uber cool! Thanks for that Peter!

How exactly do you unlock the SP5?

[Pagemakers]

Gees I'm stupid. I forgot to re-install it after un-installing the first version

Yes it work perfectly!

It would be even better if 1 icon could turn the grid on or off.

Great work Pzee.

Hi,

I don´t know if "unlock" is correct, but as far as I knwo you have to edit the follwing registry settings if you want to modify special sections of the registry:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 1 (RAPI) and
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 40 (Cert)

If you change the settings to the above values it is possible to edit the start menu structure.

Greetings Peter

Look for an app called 'SDA Unlock'. It is a small windows exe file. It unlocks (fully) all SPV's and the SP5. You need to do the bit above first though (which does not fully unlock your phone).
