Hey XDA,
I recently used the start text modifier on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426264&page=1
I read it and it seemed to suggest if I rename the included shellres.dll.040C.mui to shellres.dll.0409.mui it would work on my device.
It ended up changing my softkey menus & start menu to French. I wouldn't have a huge problem with that, as I can use Google translate & I know French.
But all my startup programs were lost. With my shortcuts all on WAD2, and access to Settings & Programs on QuickMenu, I couldn't access anything.
A hard reset has done the job, but its still not the greatest solution...
Would anyone know if the shellres file deleted startup entries, or why my start menu did not have settings & programs (just recent)?

Hi,
The problem is very clear : the manual and explanation it the 'Icon-changer' are WRONG. You just can't change the language to any other by changing some reference in the name of a given *.dll... You need to have the correct *.dll for YOUR language. Hence it's not working. Your shortcuts etc. did not disappear, they just didn't have any reference INSIDE the *.dll, so no way to show up.
Bad explanation doesn't mean it's not working. If you like to play around, you first backup your *.dll and the start hexing a copy of that backup. If it's not working as you should expect, you can always use TotalCommander to put back your backup.

Ah, thanks sir.
I am relatively new to this, so thanks for giving me some basics.
So I would need to do some kind of hardcore cracking open of the dll, which is out-of-the-question for a newb.

There's nothing hardcore in it Just copy the *.dll you want to change to your PC. Make a backup-copy of it, and open that copy in an HEX editor like XVI32 or such... hack the needed bits and save the file.
Then you copy that hacked file back to your device. Best is to copy it to another place as the original, cos WM won't let you overwrite like that. Therefor you'll need to use TotalCommander.
If it's not acting as you expected, you can replace the hacked *.dll with the original backup the same way.
Dirk
Thanks!
Thanks for the quick responses sir.
I will look into your suggestions. Thanks heaps!
While I need to change the language parts of the *.dll from the other thread, will this also allow shortcuts to show up? Or is it better to edit my current *.dll to change the text that way?

Nope, you'll need to use YOUR *.dll... That's the only one that is integrated in your OS, and has all the connections to your shortcuts.

Hi all,
I previously had a Hermes where there was a little tool to change the soft-keys at the coners of the screen to to applications of your choice.
Either I did not look to find the tool in the Raphael or it does not exist in the HTC standard ROM. Is there any tool to use for changein the soft-keys?
Thanks for support.
Best Regards
Rolf

put this fil in ur windows folder and voila...
in settings u can change the softkeys
Thanks, it works as expected until TouchFlo ist started . When TouchFlo is running, the keys automatically swich to left: Telephone, right: programms. I dont find a way to change that. Any suggestions?
Best Regards
Rolf
This is what I, found it in the diamond forum.
just change hklm\software\htc\manila its not hard. homelsk options for the left softkey and homersk for the right. path and text.
Hi Jack,
thanks, the solution works , even with touch-flo. I could put the calendar as soft key. Do You know the name of the file where the contats are stored?
Best Regards
Rolf
dont trust me too hard on this im doing it from memory, but... set your path to "\Windows\poutlook.exe" and your argument to "contacts". without quotes on both of course.
Hi Jack,
thanks, I will try this tomorrow, today I forgot my mobile in the office :-(.
Result: I tried it and nothing happened, no contacts shoowing up or any error-msg. So it should be an other file I guess. Do you have any idea?
Best regards
Rolf
i was wondering why that wouldnt work and i tried it on mine and it does. you can check your spelling for any typos or whatever but it should work. no quotes, no caps on contacts, \'s not /'s. hope you can get it working.
If you install the cab i posted you dont need to edit the registry, just select the app you want the link on the soft key to be and click save.
alot of people like to do it themselvs or dont like extra apps. ill check it out and see what it does later.
Hi,
so I tried again the manila cab that was postet above. Well, it works fine, I just cannot find the "contacts" in there which I like to set as left soft-key. The "calendar" setting works fine either as direct setting in the HKLM or using the cab.
I also tried again to start the poutlook.exe directly out of the file-explorer and in contrast to the start of the calendar, nothing happened. So it must be any other file to start ???
Also I tried to link the "kontakte" (a small link-file) directly in HKLM, but got an error-msg telling me that the file does not have the required security-attributes or whatsoever.
I will keep on searching but happy for any adviece.
Berst Regards
Rolf
Somehow I lost the Internet Globe icon from Sense Internet tab. It only displays Launch Browser text now. Any ideas how to get it back? Wouldn't want to Hard Reset for that. Thanks!

Thanks but I need the original one!
Nevermind, made a Hard Reset.
i had the same issue when i have tryed to change it,you need to use cfc_gui to change the manila files or the icon is blank,this is the only way i think.

The thing is that I didn't try to change it. It was just gone after I have deleted something in Application Data\HTC so there's the source somewhere.
I know i'm dragging this post from the dead, but i managed to do the same thing, now I only have the launch browser text.
I was using sk tools and I think it deleted the wrong registry setting.
any ideas?
EDIT: I have fixed the problem
SK tools had deleted a manilla file which I found by searching for 'banner'
i think it was in hklm\software\htc\manila
However, I have found an option for internet banner image in the registry and the string links to a folder i cannot find using resco explorer
any explanation?

I was using SKTools too back when I had that problem and I think it appeared after a Registry Cleaning I applied.
I figured searching for a solution is more time consuming than a Hard Reset and I just did that. Gave up on SKTools but will try again since I've read it now fully supports HD2: http://pocketnow.com/software-1/new-sktools-44715-adds-hd2-and-omnia-ii-support
Any solution?
Do you guys have any solution to this? Same problem after using SKTools. I don't want to hard reset for such a small issue.
[SOLVED] Lost Globe Icon
I solved the problem as follows for anybody that might encounter the same problem. It seems SKTooks made a backup for all registry keys that it deletes, so there is a file called "Software_HTC_Manila_Internet.BannerImage.rgb" in \My Documents\registrybkp. Just run that file again to recover the globe.

You will have to specify which registry key etc. you want to change (otherwise we cannot give you the appropriate instructions or .cab to do so..)
If you want to upgrade a T-Mobile HTC HD2, (to official or cooked rom) you will have to use HSPL.
Grtz,

you do not extract the cab files, the cab you copy to phone and execute them from there.

Hey there. Welcome to the WM
about the question you asked about the program named "audio manager",
for me it looks like a resolution issue that the specific programme is designed for a VGA resolution screen (square screen) which might not be compatable for the Leo's WVGA screen (wider screen).
All you need to do is get a VGA fix or simplily wait for the devs to release a WVGA version of the app.

hi,
where can i find the user dictionary which every time i input new words i think it will automatically save somewhere. Which every time i input again the word it will suggest automatically.. pls help me.
thanks you im newbie..
\Windows\dyncompdict.dat
You will have to copy it to your PC as a text file, edit it and put it back.
their is no dyncompdict.dat file in windows.
i also cannot find the dyncompdict.dat file in windows..
thanks for helping me.
Newbie
I have not used a windows mobile phone.
only leran here.
Update.
That was then, this is now...........
Apparently from WM 6.0 onwards it is now stored in compimeh.NNNN.dat in the \Windows directory, where NNNN is a language code page 0409 is US English. If you guys are running 6.0 onwards, that's why you don't see the files mentioned above.
Here's the bad news. The file is in some binary format, so a text editor is useless. All you can do is clear it from Control Panel -> Input -> Word Completion(Tab) and hit the "Clear Stored Entries" Button.
There's an archive thread about this at :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-317696.html
yes im using wm6.1 which mean i cannot access the the said file.
is there any other way access the file?or 3rd party software that i can convert so i can edit my stored word? or make my own dictionary so that input my favorite words or whatever?
tnx,
Apparently there is a program in the windows directory of HTC Touch and Touch HD devices called et9mywords.exe, that can edit it.
You will have to use "Show all files" to find in File Explorer.
Can't be of any more help here, I've currently got a MWg Zinc II, which doesn't have it.
i got it..thank you very much..
