I like my Shift. It has some The Main Man

also the

'crippled' Snapvue, which is really a locked down Windows Mobile 6 with bits removed. Wouldn't it be great if you could Liberate SnapVue by making it full WinMo 6, and then installing as normal? Wouldn't it be great if this was made really easy? Wouldn't it be great perhaps if the process was demo'd on video? Wouldn't it be great if the software

you really wanted was bundled up into easy to use 'packs'? /me takes a bow Introducing... SHIFTpack.Liberate and SHIFTpacks! Let me explain SHIFTpack.Liberate is the first step on the road to liberating your Shift. It's super easy to use, very small, and demonstrated in the video below. It restores your Start Menu, restores CAB assocations to let you install stuff, lets you soft reset without needing Vista and gives you a utility that lets you hook up the WinMo side to the Vista (WMDC) side of your Shift. You'll see the full process in the video and detailed below, but it goes like this... Ensure you have access to an email account on Snapvue Enter your e-mail address in the form below, to send the all important SHIFTpack.Liberate files to your device Save files in the relevant locations (some trickery here) Click the Liberate icon in Settings Click the Soft Reset icon in Settings Enjoy WinMo 6 goodness Once this is done, you can then use our SHIFTpacks either in CAB form on the WinMo side or (even better) in EXE form from Vista (as demo'd in the video) to restore missing functionality. We will be adding a whole bunch of SHIFTpacks over the next few days, so keep checking back! At this point, watch the video above! So you like what you see and you want to get started? Excellent! There are TWO posts below (News page readers, click 'View Topic'). The first is dedicated to using SHIFTpack.Liberate to liberate your device, the second contains additional SHIFTpacks for extra functionality (such as Pocket IE in the video) and will be continually updated as we create new packs. Read on!

The step by step guide to using SHIFTpack.Liberate 1. First you need to send to your device with those files we mentioned. Either input your email address below... E-Mail Address for SHIFTpack.Liberate files: Send me my mail!

CAB file Make sure you have these sitting in your inbox, downloaded and ready to be saved. 2. We're going to save one of these files in the 'Settings' directory that appears when you hit 'Settings' on the homescreen, so we need to do some cheeky stuff to get access to that. So... Start a new mail Select 'Insert Picture' Browse to \Windows With the keyboard, navigate so 'Settings' is highlighted, and hit CTRL-X. The folder icon will go a lighter colour. Now navigate to \My Documents, and hit CTRL-V. Settings will appear. Select 'Cancel Message' to close that new message. 3. We're now ready to save the files. Firstly, press and hold on the CAB file, Select 'Save As' and save in the default location. Next press and hold on the .lnk file, select 'Save As' but this time drop down the 'Folder' box and select 'Settings'. 4. We're now ready to put that settings menu back where it should be. Start a new mail Select 'Insert Picture' Browse to \My Documents With the keyboard, navigate so 'Settings' is highlighted, and hit CTRL-X. The folder icon will go a lighter colour. Now navigate to \Windows, and hit CTRL-V. Settings will appear right down the bottom of the list. Select 'Cancel Message' to close that new message. 5. Good stuff, we're now ready to actually carry out the Liberation

From the

home screen, select Settings as normal, and you'll see a new option - 'Liberate'! Select it, say yes to the prompt, and let it finish. Then close the Settings page and reopen it before hitting the 'Soft Reset' item that has now appeared (you'll notice 'Liberate' has now disappeared from here!).

6. The device reboots, and it is liberated! Hurrah! You can use the 'USB Tool' option that is now in Settings to hook up to Vista (as in the video) and do all the normal stuff you'd expect to do with Windows Mobile!
