I tried to edit the icon /windows/flag.2bp, i did also a software reset but the icon shown is alwais the same? Shouldn load the new icon after a reboot?
the file is in ROM and can not be edited
regards
I edited it via active sync explorer and the changes have been kept also after a soft reset
The new file. Has it replaced the flag.2bp?
u havent got 2 files one flag.bmp and a flag.2bp?
No, I'm sure it is not bmp or .gif, it is .2bp
I tried to send it via bluetooth and it showed me the right extension
Have no idea sorry. tried to delete the flag.2bp and wasn't allowed.
can u delete it?
Maybe if u try it BEFORE the UI is loaded..
anyway. to may knowledge it shouldn't be possible but best of luck
I can't delete it on the xda but I can do it via activesync on my pc

Hi,
I accidentally put actual file instead of lnk into StartUp folder on WM 6.1. Now I can not delete the file becouse it's already launched and it's not even showing in list of running programs. How do I get rid of it in StartUp folder?
Thanks,
G
it might be running in the background. try using a task manager kinda program to see running processes (e.g. wktask) and you should be able to kill it and then delete it
or rename it from somethingsomething.exe to somethingsomething.exe.bak
and softreset
Or you can usually cut the link or file in startup and then paste it somewhere else. Reset, then you can delete it.
not if it's not a shortcut but he places the exe file itself in startup in this case it will be locked and cant be cut
Can you rename the file to something not ".exe" and then reset the phone? Would it work? I've read somewhere around here someone suggesting that. After soft reset, in theory, you should be able to delete the file.
Does anybody know if there is a way to customize the clip sound went Screen Taps are enabled? I searched and didnt find anything.

Got it.
The name of the audio file is hwandsw.wav this is a wav file. So what you need to do is go into the windows folder and delete the file. Now take whatever .wav file you want (realize you need a really really short one) like a half a second. Rename it hwandsw.wav place it in the windows folder, soft reset and voila. It worked for me and should you also.
I would recommend making a copy of the original, so you can restore it later if you want.
Man I am having to much fun with this, now every time I touch screen or any buttons my phone farts.
Somehow this doesnt work to me, i exchanged the file with another sound and iam still getting the old clicky taping sound (after soft reset ofc).
When i checked the original wave file it doesnt sound like the taping sound, is it really the correct file?
Doesn't work for me either... doesn't change sound

It's probaly in use, did you disable the sounds before trying? If so use a 3rd part file explorer that ignores permissions.
does not work for me either

Well, te problème here is that you do not understand the problème! Pal, ROM files are undeletable under no circumstance.
You can however overwrite'em but not delete'em

I tried to delete or rename the file (usine TC) but unsuccessful. Then I tried to copy a wav file renamed as hwandsw.wav into \windows - successfull. Soft reset. But the sound did not change... Still the original sound. Then I deleted the (copied) hwandsw.wav in \windows - the original hwandsw.wav file in ROM appeared.
Any advise.. ?

This is how it went....(event sequence)
1) Disabled screen tap sound -> no sound on screen tap
2) Installed .cab file, successful, soft reset.
3) Enabled screen tap sound - > gives default sound (not the new sound intended)
4) Checked file properties using TC - file did not reside in ROM. Copied file to another folder and play using media player - > gives sound intended.
5) Delete file in \windows -> the default hwandsw.wav appeared (properties showed reside in ROM)
Possibilities:
1) The file did not overwrite the default in ROM
2) The wrong file was targeted (for the screen tap).
Good learning event though.

It was probably the wrong file name, I was just using the name posted here in this thread. If you find the correct name I'll try again.

I tried putting a new sound file as Menupop.wav into \windows (as suggested in a ppcgeeks forum) .. still no change.
dwizzy130, if it isn't too much requesting, may be you can help make a cab of file I posted as Menupop.wav. TQ

hi f0lks.
i try to get the touch flo files copied manually to my phone, but for some of the files i couldnt remove the "read only" flag nor i couldnt delete em.
i work with TC and tried it by selecting files by mask and also by doin it for each single file.
everytime i reread the properties the flags are reset to "read only" this is the case for just 230files.
any hint would be really appreciated.
thank you
k0s
edit:
nope touch flo is not running, nor any other programs. i did reset the device and so on.
use total commander instead of file explorer
thanks,
i alread used TotalCommander (TC) but i guess you cant delete the files when you DIDNT sspl'ed your device.
i tried it on a clean one and didnt work.
i tried it after i updated the rom and it works now.

you cant delete anything from windows folder because files are in rom, you can just OVERWRITE them if they arent used by anything.
after i delete certain apps i downloaded sometimes they leave behind a file that cant be deleted no matter what i do. for example i downloaded PointUI home but didnt like it so i deleted it using add/remove programs in system settings. everything was deleted except for a small file called 2001. it wont delete and ive tried everything. until i find a way to do so it still shows up in add/remove programs. i have 4 such apps that wont go away because of that same problem. i have an htc snap on sprint running windows mobile 6.1 if that helps any. im stumped! any help would be greatly appreciated
try SKTools....
i have sktoolslite but im unsure if itll let me delete them. i had issues deleting those programs and sktoolslite deleted most of those files except for that one file. i look in the windows folder under app manager and the folders for said apps are still there with that one stubborn file in each folder. again. any help would be appreciated
I don't know what those files are, but if you test cabs frequently, then sk tools is a good way to install them (use the cab manager, select install w/ sk tools). It does a better job of removing programs (go to installed programs, do a deep scan and uninstall).
For now, you may fix the problem by using the installed programs tool and removing uninstall info (if the apps appear there). To get rid of the files in \windows, try checking for replaced rom files and restoring to original. You may need to add the proper extensions in settings.
it keeps saying that the file is a system file and if deleted the phone wont work properly. when i try to delete anyway it tells me i cant . access is denied. be certain that the program is not write protected and not currently in use. before that it would say problem deleting file
bump. anyone else experience something similar? if so then how did you deal with it?
Hi Guys,
trying to change my start icon used both Restorator 2009 & ResHack and neither of them does the trick for some reason, i have extracted the shellres.192.dll from my HD2 and opened it on both of the those apps and replaced the icons 4609 & 4620 with my own 32 x 32 icon file but all i get after reboot is a blank are where the button should be and the text start and the button is not touchable nothing happens.
Thanks For any help in this weird thing.

good question. I have no idea. lol. sorry.
I don't fully understand taskbar editing. So here is the process i've done on a 6.5.x taskbar.
-Grad the .dll and drag it onto the UnSigner
- create 32x32 png convert to xp colors using icoFX/Axialias Icon Workshop(for converting higher resolutions to .icos e.g the dropdown taskbar in 6.5.x)
-Replace icon using ResHack
-sign it with msigntools
-cab using WinCE or whatever tools are available for download, set the directory to /Windows, install reboot and you have your icons on the taskbar
Just make sure it's the correct version for winMO, i've been using 6.5.5 dll's as a base in all my taskbar works.
Also a simple google search can help you gather up the files.
"How to mod winMO 6.5 taskbar"
Hope this helps

If you need to place your patched .dll files you need to add them in a cab file first.
Send me your dll files patched by pm i will do a cab tomorrow night after office if you want
I have to first download the file from the phone to edit it... that's what I can't do.
I have the tools, I've already donne something similar. But I can't download the DLL file.
Any ideas please?
