Command line on Omnia

[Guest cOnTaGoUs]

Is it possible to get a command line in windows mobile 6.1 on the Omnia i910, so i can type such things as ping, ipconfig etc.., trying to set up the remote desktop thing for my vista home lappy, finally hack the reg so home lets me in, but trying to make sure phone is on network and such.

Thanks

Yes. I just found out about this yesterday. Add the clock to where you have it displayed in the task bar while running applications. You'll have to look under the clock functions I believe to set that. Once you have that set, run any app where you see the clock in the upper task bar. hold the center mouse button at the bottom in and tape and hold the clock for a second. When you release the buttons you will see "Run". Hidden, but that's it. I didn't even know it had a command line till last night.

Interesting stuff.

Nice find! Well I didn't know this either, nice 'hidden' feature, for some reason my digital clock now changed somehow to a analog clock in the taskbar aswell while I was trying this :excl: hmm how to get this back to digital?

But since I disabled the autopopup keyboard in the registry it doesn't come up in this "Run" screen, can't also tap the 'down middle (keyboard popup) place' for it to show up.

So does anyone know how to get the digital clock back aswell?!?

I can't revert the change I made, soft resetted already, not gonna hard reset for this and don't think it's really needed...

[Guest cOnTaGoUs]

This is the run command, meaning it can run apps on the phone, i knew about this, but it still dont let you type ipconfig or anything,

So i was wondeirng if anyone has a dos prompt programs which can run things like ip config, net stat etc...

Thanks

i think you should try holding not on today screen.. i tried on bubble breaker and it appeared the menu, analog or digital..

You just have to change the following registry key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell\AnalogClock

   AnalogClock = 0 --> shows digital clock

   AnalogClock = 1 --> shows analog clock

Good luck! :excl:

Yup that did the trick aswell, tnx... Found out that when I keep the clock pressed for a sec a popup comes for like 0.00001 ms (=really fast :excl: ) so if you are fast you can untick the analog there aswell but takes a lot of (rsi) attemps...

[Guest liads]

Apparently you need to disable the large start menu (Settings->System->Large Display) for the options menu to show (and stay) when holding down on the clock.

[Guest maf107ezk0]

Thanks, a really great "hidden" function!

[Guest cOnTaGoUs]

Can we stick to the actual subject of the post please guys? which was does anyone know how to use a CMD line, not a silly run command.

Thanks

I went to as someone said bubble breaker, and holded the mouse/main button and holded the clock. after I put my fingers up, start menu appeared. not any run function! what 2 do? I'm on HH1 (ya, stupid ram, I know:|)

[Guest cOnTaGoUs]

Can we please stick to the post subject? i really need a CMD line to be able to run things like ipconfig netstat etc.. if possible, does anyone know how this can be achieved as i couldn't get the pocket cmd thing to work, it installed but couldnt find a way to load the program.

Thanks
