there it is folks...after 2 days of hard work, my site is almost done
Im posting it now to get some feedback
dont mind the way it looks atm etc and downloads are disabled for now...
http://www.dmmh.nl/xda/files/
let me know what you think
btw, I still have to add around 450 files to the site, those arent indexed yet, but I wonder what people think about layout, way of sorting etc etc
there will also be a comments section for people who take the time to register and a simple rating system
looks like a great resource
Shouldn't 2002/2003/2003SE/2005 be an option?
nah, not many files for extended roms are operating system dependant, as far as I know
correct me, if I am terribly wrong
Nice job! Layout looks good with the filter system, although I think that some of the customisation cabs are dependent on OS, particularly for MMS. I may be wrong, but at least someone here can correct me!
Keep up the brilliant work!!

tbh, I aquired all of the files of the FTP, Im thinking about adding a upload form to the site where one can upload their extended rom and the file will land in a temporary folder which I access via ftp, verify and move to the real files directory.
Either this, or there has to be a better way of getting to know when a new extended rom is available for download. Maybe forums on the site will be usefull
file downloads working now...
file downloads are enabled
http://www.dmmh.nl/xda/
I am still working on the category sorting....its almost done...but returns wrong matches if more then one category is selected. All the other filter options are working.
TO DO LIST:
- member registration
- further extended comments section, leave comment for members
- develop 'suggest filter' (people who know the file may suggest the filters which apply) for members, gets aproved/ denied via admin control panel
- maybe forums
- rating system
sofar I have magician and blue angel files online, but a lot still needs the filtering applied
Good job bro, but my suggestion is to compress the cab files to rar, you'll gain more space
nice work....and a loooooot to do in the future,if u want to upload all the files :wink:
keep on man,i beleive ur site will become a gr8 station,where u can download everything concerning ext rom files

there are already 1000 files on there...it would take a lot off time to compress them all manually or so

When arching with WinRAR 3.42> use "Put each file in separate archive" option in Files (Archive) Tab
mmm, I could do that...but I would have to re-index all the files I've already done
Thanks for your c00l project!
I'm voting for adding "WM2002/2003/2003SE/2005/ALL/.NET" option there...
And one thingy, why not to allow file storing directly to Category?
Perhaps putting "trusted sender" OR "not trusted" variable will solve the problem. So when a new member sends file a file's comment will indicate that this file is from "UNTRUSTED SOURCE AND MAY HAVE VIRUSES AND STUF...". But when you review the file yourself you change variable of sender to trusted one and all files he sent become trusted... and adding "DELETE THIS FILE (-1)" option to rating system will save your time on deciding whether the sender is trusted or untrusted...

Wallaby doesn´t have a extended ROM. Only Adaption have been done via operator Config, which was included in the base rom. There are only a few CAB files in it.
If you get me a server i will upload complete set of operator config. If you don´t have one, i will take mine server and send you the link for downloading....
Stefan
mmm, ill see what I will do, thank you
I need more space
I have been offered webspace by one of the members here, which is awesome, but I like to keep using my host.
Due to the huge amount of files, it would cause to much delays to query for remote filenames and remote filesizes, causing very slow response times, rendering the site almost unusable
so, if anyone wants to see the Himalaya and Alpine files online...ever.....some donations would speed up the process

I am making an excellent rom for the Uni, i have integrated all i need but is there a way not to integrate it and have a cab install, like the auto customization after first boot...
that screen just installs cab files right? how do i set the rom to run cab files off the EXT_Rom automatically?
thanks
better yet, can i use the initflashfiles.txt to put files other then in \windows\...
i want to have a program installed by default but i want all the program files to be places in \Program Files\
Instead of \windows\
I will reply in a few minutes after i have banged my head against the wall a few times.

"why spend time learning when ignorance is instantanious?"
It defeats the object of having them in the ROM
as soon as you use initflashfiles to move a file it takes up room in the storage memory. make the lnk's link to the /windows/ dir instead

If you just cut straight to the last paragraph in the post above , he is right.
You are best trying to keep everything in \windows to prevent duplication of files as it copies rather than moves them over.
My fault i should have been more clear
I cant use the EXT-ROM as this program requires user input, so forget that idea.
now i have gotten the program to sit inside the \windows\ folder correctly but now i need 1 last step, i need to have a folder w/files inside transfered as well. Its a theme folder!
Example OEM folder:
program.exe
\Themes\
It copies the program and i use initflashfiles.txt to make a menu shortcut works fine ,but when building the ROM it freezes on the Theme folder. Ok so you cant have a folders w/subdir and files.
Now what should i do? i made OEM folder have all files inside but i need the themes folder to be XFER'd to \Windows\Themes\
or is there a solid command or a config file i can write to make adjustments to create/copy/move files and folders?

ever do a search on your post and read how arrogant you are? you should try it. If thats your example of helping someone... you need to rethink things.
To be honest i was hoping someone of your caliber would come here and offer help, but that doesn't mean you get to talk to people as you like because you ..." Know More "
Its expected that you know more when we post "[Help]" in the title. That's correct we EXPECT someone with more knowledge to help, not abuse people.
Thanks.... NO really thanks for the help

I did search for the how to copy a folder w/files using the initflashfiles.txt as was not able to find any information, hence the post.
Helmi has nothing to do with this so don't throw his name around. And midget has run to this issue with a few users on this forum lately. Yea i read those too.
And i don't care if he can breathe underwater, fact is just because you answer somebody doesnt mean you get to talk to people like trash.

gotcha ya, i was hoping for a way around this as the only other issue i have is a *.rgu file which set a string in the CURRENT_USER area but for some reason it fails to build on that specific RGU which is the registration for wisbar.
besides that everything is working smooth
here is a preview of the default look which i helped a great skinning artist (Dingo) make into a great wisbar skin, the new version has sounds that are awesome
here is a preview,
Just FYI, MOST of my posts are helpful and 'nice'

This is the point that, until I made a kitchen ROM, I wasn't aware of; did I (and 1wayjonny and others) miss it?
Ranting and raving at people that don't know what you do is not moving things forward, this isn't a simple, 'how I instal ROM?' (sic) question...
I recently upgrade my Hermes to WM6 and there is no Bubble Breaker on my phone
If searched the forums and google but I haven't found it anywhere.
Thanks in advance!
Anyone....?
doubt you can find it as a cab as it normaly is included in the rom
most likely you can just take the 1 exe file from another device
Here is the exe file from my wm6 rom - place in \windows and try it. I tested its dependencies and there are 3 dll files - hopefully you have these in your rom already.
Thanks meschle but I couldn't get it to work. When I put it in \windows I get these error messages:
SHCreateMenuBar Failed
which is followed by:
Cannot open Bubble Breaker resource file
I have a total of 4 BubbleBreaker files in my \windows directory.
BubbleBreaker.dat
BubbleBreaker.exe
BubbleBreaker.htm
BubbleBreaker.lnk
http://www.oopdreams.com/ce/bubblets/#download ...this is the EXACT game.. i installed it on my ppc and its exactly the same thing.. same options same sounds..hell i even installed the pc ver its the same thing too and when u google "bubblets" ull see its bubblets aka bubble breaker.. if u need a key to reg it drop me a line.
when u open bubble breaker that comes standard in windows mobile and go to about its made by the OOP Dreams.. same company.

Oh you did not mention you already had it in your rom - probably a problem with the cooked rom your using - can you not try another rom as finding the problem may be quite difficult?
Jakeypoo thanks so much. Thats indentical to bubble breaker.
Meschle, I sent those files to my phone from my friends phone. They were not on there initially, I put them there after attempting to use the file you suggested.
Thanks for the help everyone.
Hi, Im using a rom without bubble breaker, but its a great rom... I miss bubble breaker. Does anyone see a way to add it? I also have

Hello,
I am having the same problem when launching BubbleBreaker - SHCreateMenuBar failed, then device freezes. Sometimes I even have to soft reset it.
Now, besides BubbleBreaker being a favourite game, I'd like to be able to fix that issue. The link above doesn't work. However, I tried using BubbleBreaker.exe from my other device - when I try to paste "BubbleBreaker.exe" into the Windows directory, I get "Access denied" message. Is there a way to cheat the system, and will this actually work?
The device I am talking about is Sharp S01SH, firmware updated to 1.05a, running OS 5.1.476.3 AKU .3.5.0.
Thanks!
Right, found a few different CABs for BubbleBreaker and Solitaire. Installed - BubbleBreaker now works but is a quite different version from what I know it to be...
Solitaire doesn't work (neither of the three shortcuts that appeared in Programs/Games).
At least the annoying SHCreateMenuBar error is gone.
These work on Tilt "Bubble Breaker & Solitaire"
None of the cabs I tried install tje game as I know it. And these only make a new installation in Program Files, they do not fix/replace the built in Bubble breaker.
I tried copying the exe and other files from my other device, w-zero3, and replaced the existing ones on my s01sh - still the same shcreatemenubar failed error...

Hello.
I have managed to hack the camera for our wizards; and change those ugly graphics using ResHacker.
now it does not look like it came out of the last milenium.
So I am posting it here for the chefs to cook with.
All you have to do (should you chose to) is replace the Camera.exe with the new one.
Or other users can just drop it into the Windows folder.
here it is
Update to camera 3.3 fixes some grapfic details for transparancies
Great
Thanks for all your passion
Thanks,I will try it
wow! 149 downloads! cool.
niceee
trying right now!
its vere good itry now
it works on our wizard tnx
great work as always .... thanks for the share
seemless...well done brotha...
With the normal camera application you can choose where to save new pictures but you only have 2 options. Normaly you can choose between main-memory and memorycard. If you unhide the Ext-ROM you can only choose between main-memory and Ext-ROM but not memorycard anymore. Is this Problem already fixed or can you fix it? Thank you!

The extended rom is useless in all senarios. iven if you unlock it you can only copy files from it.. but not copy to.
The camera will not write to extended rom.
That's not the Problem! I don't want the camera to save pictures to the Ext-ROM. I just can't choose "Speicherkarte" as target if Ext-ROM is visible. You may say: Don't unhide Ext-ROM.
Three problems:
1. I still want to have access to my documents in Ext-ROM!
2. I have the same problem if I use network-folders. "Netzlaufwerk" comes for "Speicherkarte" and if a network-folder is maped I cannot choose "Speicherkarte" (memory-card) as target to save the pictures.
3. BT-Browser adds an extra external memory just like the network-folder. Again no "Speicherkarte" in the list of possible targets. You can only choose between main-memory and bt-folder.
Is it possible to expand the list to more than 2 entries?
I suppose if you can add the shortcuts in registry. the camera app is just the original app. I changed nothing in it other then the icons. in fact I did not have access to see any coding. All I saw were the reasourses (files embeded into it) and changed the graphics. it is still the same app that came with the rom (well at least my rom)
if you could do that with your original rom, then that should be in the registry settings.. unless these options were hard coded into the camera.exe itself.
if.that is the case, and those options were harcoded into the camera.exe; I would like to have that exe. If you want to share that with me you would have to do a hard reset, and copy the exe and send it to me. I can modify the graphics and repost the exe back on this forum.
otherwise, I would have to give the answer "I dont know" or "I dont understand".
update
Updated camera 3.3 graphics in first post.

It looks great...I will add this to the Roms I will release! Nice job!
Yesterday during some cooking I needed some extra space in the Rom so I checked what .exe files were rather large and were able to get compressed (with UPX 1.38 GUI).
I reduced the size of the Camera.exe from +/- 600KB to nearly 300KB and it works just as good (stable and fast).
See the attached file (maybe add it to the 1st post in this thread...?).
Molski
thanx. I have been using UPX4PPC to compress programs. most of the times, when the dll or the exe has images embeded into it the program will not work as it should. one example is the MMSRES dll that covers most of the icons like the photo and video icons in the standard pictures explorer.
That is why I did not compress it. Thank you for trying that. The camera package (uncompressed is anout 5mb with the dlls) and that should help with my cooking.

dear all!!!
really it's so hard to restore many pimbackup.pib files on a device...
i have been searching for an extracor, or kind of emulator that alow me to view the backuped file on my pc...
thankyou
best regards...
moiisse
If I remember correctly, you can rename the .PIB file as a .ZIP and then look at it with your "favourite archive tool".... Within the ZIP/PIB file there are loads of CSV format files for each of the messages/contacts/phone logs etc.
The only problem may/might/will be if you did the PIM backup in binary format; your best bet would be to post on the PIMbackup thread (here) and see if Dotfred or anyone else can help
Cheers,
Mark.
Dear Mark
I have tried this trick but the files I got were not .CSV one some other extension files. I am afraid if I am doing anything wrong.
The extension is not .CSV, but they are in CSV format. If you rename them to .CSV and open them with Microsoft Excel or Openoffice Calc (or whatever), they can be imported as semicolon delimited files (so strictly speaking, they're SSV - "Semicolon Separated Values" rather than CSV )
Hope that helps,
Mark.
That was a great tip!
Any idea how to import these into an Android Phone - just got an HTC Hero today. Took a backup of my existing contacts, sms etc from WM6.5 (HTC Touch HD) and could see the .pib (renamed as .zip) and individual files (which I renamed as .csv)..
Guess there might be a simple trick to restore them as well in HTC Hero?
I think I may have found something........

I was about to say I have no idea and I don't really care (about Android phones that is, not your problem getting your messages onto your Hero!), but then.......
I found this - Sprite Software's FREE (at the moment) migration software - which looks like the answer to your prayers
I've seen a report from someone who used it - apparently, it's pretty slow, but as it's a "one-time" transfer operation.....who cares how long "free" takes!!!???
Let us know how you get on - and post something in the Android-related forums so that other users can benefit.....

(At times like this, I wish I had a Paypal "donate" button.....this gem of wisdom is surely worth a buck/quid/euro or two ....Ho hum!!!)
Excellent! That seems to be promising!
Just tried using that and tried to restore only the sms on my android, however it gave an error. Have emailed sprite software the relevant log file, lets see if they come up with the reason of failure. Guess it might have something to do with the threaded view on my win mob 6.5
PS : Paypal donate button shudn't be that difficult to get
And yes just thought that I would mention about the contacts - its actually very easy - just get them into csv file using the trick that you mentioned above and then import the csv file in gmail contacts! that's it! gmail automatically syncs the contacts thereafter!

Hi Mark (Am I Noob to Android)
It seems like, you have solved the issue here. I did have one question for you:
What if you allready had a PIM back of your old phone. Then the phone you have sold it. But you still the the PIM backup file on your SD card. Can you still go on to follow and start from 2 step and then step 3.
Or is the another way of doing this then?
Many Thanks.
yes u should be able too as long as the PIM file is on your SD card. you can just directly transfer it onto your PC, then rename it to a ZIP file and proceed as instructed above.

Come on guys read a little more on the web, if you would have done so you would have figured out you have the binary backup files, not the text file, so what you need to do is convert. Now if you press the search button for the forum you would have found this interesting link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424641
the title says: 'Convert PIM Backup binary file to text without using windows mobile device'
(considering yours broke like mine)
You can read there that you can convert it to a text file using an emulator on your pc and subsequentlyfollow the steps that were described here...
