Thanks for reply.
Hope for good news

Can't replace wince.nls
I have a Win Mobile Phone Edition 5, very first one in U.S.
I tried to load chinese so that I can read chinese. I copy over font file and am able to see Chinese in Word, providing that I select options.
However I got issues with IE, because I there is no option for me to change the encoding.
I learned that I need to change wince.nls file. And I downloaded your file. Now I got an issue "Access Denied" message when I try to override original wince.nls. Looks like it was in ROM.
Any idea?
Thanks

you should use another file explorer other than the system's one, and then you can overwrite it
the tool is in the attachment(it's in chinese language), it's a green software

The attribute is grayed out.
Thanks for your prompt response and the program.
maybe i did not use it right, some how the menu of the program is mess up. see the attached.
I have Resco Explorer 2005, which also show wince.nls is in rom. Every time I change the other attributes, it changes back when I re-open property page.
While I have a pocket PC 2003 Dell x3. The wince.nls is not rom file.
Can I override rom file?
It is about mid night here in U.S. I will check back first thing in the morning, just in case you do not get response from me right away.
Again, thanks for your help.

on wm2003 it was possible to "override" files in ROM.
Now it is not.
You have to wait until we'll be able to decompress the ROM and inject your wince.nls into ROM.

ok, i've downloaded your chinese.rar to test-it ...
i've replaced the wince.nls with this procedure
in \windows\ , i've renamed wince.nls to wince5.nls
got an error message "Can't delete wince.nls" , but it's renamed
Copy the new wince.nls to \windows\
Copy fonts to \windows\fonts\
import reg file ... modified
soft-reset
...
Anything appears ...
i'm not able to choose chinese in regional settings
In the registry , after soft-resest , nls automaticly set to "0409"
if i set to 0804 and soft-reset , poof .... 0409
I think there is another problem

OK, I will wait.
One another thing I noticed: through ActiveSync, I can create a folder in windows, (well, as you expect). But I can't copy the wince.nls file to even the newly created folder, not just windows folder. On my PC, the message saying... no space or no permission, etc. I do have like 3-4mb left in main storage and install other program.
Just for your infomation.

it is easily possible to copy wince.nls to your \Windows folder. Just create a cab for it.
But it is not taken into system... That;s the problem here...
Will look at it further...

I'm success to copy it in my himalaya. I had tried several method, one of them is o.k. but not sure is this one or not.
1) copy the wince.nls to somewhere in your SD Card.
2) Boot your Himalaya into Safe Mode.
3) Then copy the wince.nls to your Himalaya's \windows\
4) Soft Reset.

Do you mean that you can choose the Chinese region now?

only 1.60b could be chineselization
I had tried to replace wince.nls in WM2K5_160C_WWE in various ways mentioned in xda-dev forum. none of them could be finished this job.
so i had to refresh my rom to 1.60b, everything is OK now. I can override the wince.nls, import *.reg, set regional to PRChina and so on.

expecting a perfect WM2K5_160C supproting Simple Chinese.

Adobe Flash 7 player

I managed to install Adobe's Flash 7 player for PPC on S710.
The steps are:
1. Install Flash 7 in PPC emulator
2. Export 4 registry keys from HKLM\software\ and register them manually (or import with a registry editor)
3. Download Adobe Flash 6 player and extract flash.dll and copy it to S710
4. Register flash.dll with regsvrce.exe
5. Copy /Windows/Macromedia/flash.dll from PPC emulator and overwrite the Flash 6 version with it on your S710
6. Install Opera 8.65beta for smartphone
Now you can view YouTube. For acceptable quality you have to overclock to 240MHz
UPDATE: Forum moderator Menneisyys has written a wonderful tut here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1363157&postcount=9

where do you get ppc emulator from ??
and where do u get regsvrce.exe from?
pls attach these files or provide .cab if u can
thanks.

2. Copy Windows directory to your smartphone (answer yes to overwrite all)
3. Copy flash.dll from Flash 6 to \Windows\Macromedia on your smartphone
4. Register it with regsvrce.exe (\Windows\Macromedia\flash.dll). Run regsvrce again to see immediately the success "alert"
5. Copy flash.dll from Flash 7 to \Windows\Macromedia and overwrite the Flash 6 version
6. Install Opera 8.65beta for smartphone
7. Soft reset your smartphone (power cycle)
Now you can view YouTube. For acceptable quality you have to overclock to 240MHz

I am getting an error that I don't have the right version of flash loaded any ideas??? I have double checked the reg keys and they look right, and I know the regserv worked, do I need to regserv the flash.dll from flash 7 as well?

No, after you registered flash 6 it should be sufficient to overwrite it with the flash 7 dll. When and where exactly do you get this error?

I get this error in opera, when trying to view a youtube video....
I also noticed you had the cab file listed in one of the registry entries, do I need to have that in the My Documents directory?
I double checked all my steps, for some reason Opera doesn't know I have the flashplayer installed, maybe thats the problem?

Just thought of something, I have installed opera on my storage card, do you think that is the problem?

Just installed it to main memory, I still get Hello, you either have javaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player....
Javascipt is on in Opera Mobile, hmmm any ideas?

It is essential that flash.dll is correctly registered. Look for the key ".swf" in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. If it exists after registering, then your okay. Also, after registering the dll check if the version number still is correct:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer]
"CurrentVersion"="7,0,70,0"
My HTC S710 ("VOX") is running WM6 and it registers just fine. You can test and save some typing by putting regsrvce and flash.dll both in "My Documents", then run regsrvce and type "flash.dll".
I fear that on smartphones with WM5 it doesn't work
I just tried to register flash.dll in M$ 's WM5 smartphone emulator and it failed. Although regsrvce says it registered flash.dll the registry keys are not created.
What mobile device are you using and what OS is on it?

Thanks, is there any reason I wouldn't register the flash.dll from flash 7?

I may have to go any pickup a Vox, just to get this working Well guess it's a good excuse. Now that wm6 and blackberry connect play nice there is nothing holding me back.

@sting0r: I'm pretty sure you're doing something wrong. Did you check whether the .swf key is there and whether the version value is still 7,0,70,0 ?
To answer your question, registering the flash7 dll will fail. Registering flash6 works. In fact with flash6 you can already play yourtube.
@kusnier: I'm glad it works for you

Do you really need them? Internal drivers work IMHO pretty enough! Of course, after correcting of some registry keys

DO NOT USE THESE DLLS!!!

If you need to remove this files, just rename it and reboot. After reboot delete renamed files.

I can not rename these files, they are locked.

This procedure need only if you install files from VOX rom to your WM6 tornado device and they do not work.
You must rename these files directly on your smartphone. Do not use BB (big brother) for this procedure, and all will be fine.

Enhanced Notification Manager ?

Hi all,
has anyone tried this one already ?

It seems to add some functionality to the Notification Manager (like turning on/off WiFi, for example). But I'm afraid it will not install, because we have the new Notification Manager already.
What do you say ?

Yes, there is a way to add the "Battery" string in front, but it requires you to edit a MUI file.
Let me explain:
When you install the distributed cab file it installs on your device various graphic files, plus 2 MUI files. These MUI files are for WWE devices. If your device is set to use other language as default (like mine which is set to work with Greek) then these two MUI files will be installed on your system, but they will be ignored, and the ENM will take it's strings from the original MUI that won't be overwritten by the installation.
There are two ways to get the "Battery" string showing.
The first way is to replace the original MUI files of NM with the new ones that the cab installs. This method arises another problem though: If you do so, the entire NM will be shown in WWE and NOT on your language. This means that you'll get the "Battery" string but all the other strings will be in English and not your language (e.g. Greek)
The second way is a little more tricky, but it has guaranteed results:
You just edit the original MUI file of your device to add the "Battery" string!
Since editing MUI files is tricky I'll post a quick guide on how to do it, but you may need to Google for it to get more details.
Everything will be done on your PC. You will need the following:
1. A MUI unsigner - Signer
2. A Resource Editor
3. The MUI file
I wish I had kept the links, but I only have the apps, so I can't tell you from where to get these apps. The MUI unsigner-signer I get it from these very forums (XDA). Use search to find it. For a resource editor I used XN Resource Editor
The MUI file you will get it from your device. Just browse your phone's Windows directory and copy NotificationManager.dll.XXXX.MUI file on your PC
The .XXXX.MUI part is actually the number of your language. For instance in my case I needed the NotificationManager.dll.0408.MUI which is the GREEK MUI file.
1.
Copy the MUI file on a short path on your PC, something like C:\Temp\MUI\
2.
Extract the MUI unSigner-Signer on the same path
3.
Run the MUI unsigner to unsign your MUI file
4.
Use the resource editor to edit the MUI file. Depending on the case you may need to add the string, or just edit it. We need to fill the string numbered 176.
If the string exists and it's empty just edit it to fill in the string of your desire. If it doesn't exists then create a new string and pay attention on the LANGUAGE selection upon the new string creation menu. It should be the same language as the rest strings on your file. Keep in mind that ALL resource editors will add 16 string in a row. That's normal, and it doesn't matter. Just use the create string command until you have a "176" value that you can edit. Once you edit the "176" String to say whatever you want it to say, save the file and exit Resource editor.
5.
Use MUI signer to sign your file
6.
Copy the modified MUI file somewhere on your device. Don't try to copy it directly on windows directory. The file is marked as "system" and windows won't let you overwrite it.
7.
Once you have copied the modified file on your device, use an application like Total Commander to do 2 tasks:
a. Backup the original file (by copying it somewhere) and
b. Replace the original file with the modified one.
8. Soft Reset your device and everything should be ok now!
PS:
By no way this is a complete guide on how to do it. It's just what I recall from the process I followed some time ago in order to do it myself.
Directions on how to use MUI unsigner-Signer you'll find on the thread that you'll get it.
PS2:
Be safe: KEEP A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL FILE FIRST!!!
PS3:
Have fun. If someone needs the Greek Translated MUI file PM me. I have also posted it on the ENM thread back at the time I created it...
EDIT: Here's the link of the Greek MUI file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4039484&postcount=125

[Q] Tribs Trinity Kitchen Build ROM,Help me!

ROM produced using TribsTrinityKitchen
Can not find the Chinese (PRC)
The use of SuperJustKitchen\EXT\SHARED\REQUIRED\23XXX_Builds Folder Files
Out of the bag again, you can choose Custom Chinese (PRC).
But still not display Chinese
Chinese font has been copied to the WINDOWS directory, there has to import the registry key to modify the fonts.

Not sure why this is because I normally work with the Wing/Herald. I apologize

Thank you very much!
Then I will look at the information online.
Since there do not know yet to ask you.

thanhy25 produced using ROM. Only two steps to display Chinese.
1. Copy MSYH.TTF to the WINDOWS directory.
2. Import a registry to the PPC.
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
"Arial"="\\Windows\\MSYH.ttf,微软雅黑"

"Tahoma"="\\Windows\\MSYH.ttf,微软雅黑"

SuperJustKitchen produced using ROM. With the above two steps can not be displayed in Chinese.
Guess the problem is in wince.nls above. But replace the thanhy25 inside wince.nls ROM production or not.
Is it inside the EXT\SHARED\REQUIRED\23XXX_Builds\files Folder SuperJustKitchen need to modify the inside of the file before they can

wince.nls - file size
