Morning / Afternoon / Evening to All,
Not to be critical of this wonderful website which is full of great resources but, I have noticed that the useful info is hard to find.
So I thought it might be a good idea to post all of my items in the one place so here goes.
I will update these as i go.
TIP
If you want the CAB Files in remain in your PPC after install simply change the files preferences to "Read Only"
since i was just upgrade from wallaby to magician, i found all your posting, instructions and cab files very very helpful thanks a lot ampda, you rules :!:
Hello ampda , Great Work Friend . . . many thanx for these cabs and instruction files.
Cheers for taking the time to make them for the rest of us noobs
Glad to Help
verry nice indeed but there are simpler ways of doing the discribed below
(copied this out of pdf file )
3. Copying your “Extended ROM” Files before Big Storage
You need to copy the files from your “Extended ROM” before you go the Big Storage as you will need to install some of them after you’re finished, i.e. MMS etc. They will be deleted after the upgrade (and that’s the whole point).
a. To copy them from your Magician do a hard reset (push the power button and reset button at the same time).
b. Go through the screen alignment, time zone etc and get ready…….. when you reach the “Completed” screen it will ask you to “Tap your screen…. As soon as you tap the screen you get 3 sec to soft reset (push the reset button). If you miss it as I did just do a hard reset and try again.
c. After you do b. above go to the built in file explorer and under “My Device” you will now see the treasured “Extended_ROM” with all its files. Copy the directory straight to your SD Card then to your PC, keep them safe.
its just a bit easyer when you just fill in
go to windows folder on PPC and search loadvdisk.exe
run it and you will see your ext_rom (until you reset )
not to sure the usual file explorer can do this but Resco file explorer will find it
another progie that can find it is total commander :

Hi!!
Thanks for all your help!
Does anyone konw, or is there a way to save to the pc the SMS messages both received and sent??
Cheers!
use jeyo mobile companion. u can backup all of your messages, contacts (phone and sim), etc.
Hi!
Thanks for the tip!
By the way, and i think these questions are more tricky, is there any way NOT to charge the battery while the phone is connected to the USB?
And while using the calling software, when inputing the nunbers, to make the sim card entries dissapear and only have the ones that are in the contacts? Because most of the times i have a double entry and it really makes me mad!
Thanks!
The way to NOT to charge the battarie is to make some changes to your cable - cut +5v from USB (or make a switch).
the tray launch only app.... theres now way to BROWSE for the program you want on the tray?
sucks that you have to type out the entire path just to get it
Any idea whether these (or more specifically the camera speckles change) will work on a Wizard?
Remove Camera
Noob question here.
Once i install the camera & album to Storage how do i delete it from the \windows . Maybe not possible due to it being in ROM. In this case I end up with 2 camera software? So i'm curious what is the idea of installing in storage.
Halo ampda, i tryin to follow your how_to_ppc_upgrade.pdf buat I stuck in the step 4 backing up your existing rom to PC, in romupdate.exe I still confuse about the PORT things. can you help me to, which one to use?
please help...
thanks
Thanks for nice posting AMPDA..
I have a question,
I installed ampda_CameraV2.7b21026_RAM.CAB
but my camera version was 2.70 (build 18727) and it is still the same. I reset the device but still didnt become build 2026.
Do you have an idea?

This sharing is really useful. I just bought mine few days ago from ebay. Mine doesn't come with ANY EXT ROM at all! No software such MMS, smart dial etc.
Can anyone provide a link to get back those basic EXT ROM software so that I can upload it back? ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/ is not working for me. Any help pls?

Pillow write your email address. I'll send you them via email. (Those which are not device spesific).
What is the type of your device and rom versions?

Hi Lupusic,
Thanks a lot for your kind offer. I manage to pull up the files from the FTP using cuteFTP software. Some how my company laptop doesn't allow default browser connection....
My phone is O2 mini and has v.1.13 for both rom & radio. I think it's BigStorage (not sure though).
Any good advice for me? I mean anything at all....
Thx again

Guys, I'm not able to run Boot Image Tool. It gives me this error
Component 'mscomctl.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid
Any idea?
Thx....
Hi AMPDA,
Thanks for all your postings on big storage which gives detailed instructions step-by-step. Very brief and consise. Also now I notice you have put everything into 1 place like a table for pick and choose. Can it get any better ? Can't ask for anything more. You have so many useful cabs and instructions. I have benefitte a great deal. ONCE AGAIN Thank You.

Can somebody please cook this in in a wm6 Rom!!! This is a great breakthrough At last, my waiting is over
It's already in many WM6 roms (like Xplore 1.1). If it isn't in yours you can install the cab from that thread.
Userfriendly sertup menu, possible?
Isn't there a way to make this option user friendly? It would be great if some of the genius wm6 cooks could manage to make a nice GUI for this function!!!
There has to be one of those gurus that are willing to implement this functionality "straight out of the box"!!!

The only thing you have to do is:
1.: take the _setup.xml
2.: put your sip settings into the filds (like _password_)
3. make a cab file with cabarc
4. install settings to xplore 1.1
5. Enable Internet telefone when available
-- and you did it!
could you just give to me this cab file i have some pb with cabarc

No I cannot - because this are all my settings with password, sipclient and so on.
Just tell me the problem.
For me: I had to try severel folders to put the _setup.xml -> so I tried in cabarc main, then in "include" and so on. suddenly I had the .cab. I think the xml has to be in the mainfolder. Then you got to promt and type "cabarc N settiings.cab _setup.xml" and it done.
I've looked all over and can't get a search to find what i'm looking for....
Is there some kind of reg edit that will turn off the "no phone signal" blip you get with motorola bt headsets? It's annoying when i'm using my Wizard for VOIP or another use. When I turn my phone off, it also seems to turn off my VOIP phone. I think the easiest thing would be to just turn off the no phone status audio notification i get with both my H300's & HT820's. Hopefully someone knows of a prior post or how to do it. Thanks
hello everyone, long time member of howardforums and just joined xda and find some very usefull info, thank you all. i ran into a small problem last night. i have a tilt , not flashed but i have installed the htc home screen and everything worked great. last night i tryed to install the touchflo program found in a few places in this forum and it didn't work but thats when the interesting stuff happen....after deleting all touchflo cab files and restarting the tilt every time at startup it gives me a warning " FTouchFlo.exe cannot be open, its either not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components can not be found. try reinstalling or restoring file." ????? and now the icon that used to be under the clock for favorite people that would send me their pics so i can just one touch dial is GONE? tryed installing the cab for the htc homescreen again but the same....there is a music short cut that lets me launch the music player that wasn't there before? i downloaded the htc home plugin customisor and even when i set for 6 icons on the bottom of the clock it still just gives me 5?
at the end of the day i would like to have the touchflo program but its not a big deal if i dont, i would however really like to have the pic dialer back on my screen as its really convinient to dial my fav people with it.thanks in advance
try this for the favorite people tab

Keys are in the registry. To access and change the registry you need a registry viewer/editor. There are many but for simple "everyday" use this is a good one:

Be careful though delete the wrong things and you'll end up needing a hard reset.

PHM downloads as a .MSI windows installer. So it will not install properly unless you have your device connected via active sync when you run the downloaded file. So connect your device via usb cable. Let active sync connect and update. Then while still connected run the installer download. During the process a message will pop up on your device. If a choice is offered it will be ok to install to storage card if you have one.
Cheers for now.

thanks guys , can anyone tell me how to delete .exe files? i still get warnings at start up that touchflo.exe and bio-something-.exe can not run because some files are missing.....thanks
Hi All,
I've just got my 7510 (1st time Advantage owner) and have loaded RealVGA on to the 16GB Flash Drive apparently with no problem. Similar to the issues faced by 7500 and 7501 users it screws up the Com Manager. I found the post from Tadeusz back in Aug '07 advising to install the Comm Mgr cooked for the Athena PK v.2 ROM. However, when I try to load the Comm Mgr Cab also on to the Flash Drive it reports that the program does not have sufficient permissions. I know that Tobias has not been around for quite a while. Can anyone else suggest a solution?
Thanks a bunch.
Real VGA on 7510
Well maybe I spoke too soon - I'm now getting a white screen straight after a reset. It seems that the only way to recover is a hard reset. Any thoughts on whether RealVGA will not work on the 7510 after all?

Are you sure it was caused by realVGA? Did you do any soft reset with a third party software such as Tweak2k2? I had that exactly same problem when using Tweak2k2, and the creator of the program explained that his soft reset logic is outdated for the newer OS and advised me to poke into the hole and not use the soft reset feature.
In other word, each time when you're asked to click OK to restart, don't click the ok, but poke into the hole.
May be this is not the problem, but since it is so similar to what I experienced before, I thought you may like to try.

You can ask someone who can copy the .exe file of comm manager who is using the VGA file and just copy & paste that to your ROM then soft reset.

RealVGA 1.1 works perfectly on my X7510... But I did not try to change the Comm Manager.
Actually my device is always on 96dpi... and I am very happy with it
Real VGA on a 7510
Hey Eaglesteve,
Good to hear from anothet Aussie on this - I'm from Melb & Bris before coming to LA six years ago. Actually I don't think it was the realVGA that caused the problem cause it happened again after I reste everything - have not worked out what it was yetbut being more circumspect in reloading the other apps this time.
RealVGA
Thanks for the suggestion cktlcmd. Can anyone respond to give me that .exe file for the tweaked Comm Mgr whilst running realVGA?
Also, would you advise loading realVGA into main memory rather than the flash drive or does it not matter?
Thanks
The rogue program??
At the moment I'm thinking that it was SRS_WOWHD_ARM.CAB that cause the white screen - I hope so cause I am not looking forward to reloading for the eighth time!

It does matter. It should be loaded into main memory. When the OS starts it is building its interface in parallel with setting up devices so it can happen that your SD card is not active yet when the OS needs files for interface.
Thanks Tadeusz. I have it seemingly running successfully with it loaded on to the flash drive rather than the SD card. Does your comment regarding the delay in time for the SC card to wake up apply to flash memory also?
realvga problem
I have just installed the realvga and I have seen the permission problem.
The way to do it is like this. After you installed the realvga, the screen is still in 192dpi (i.e. normal mode). You then install the comm manager, you will not get any problem with permission. then you activate the 96dpi mode from the realvga software. The machine will reboot and you will be ok. At least this is how I did it.
hope this helps,
Sorry to say that I followd your suggestion and I still got 'The program cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions". To clarify I'm trying to load "PK 2.0 kaiser 10B Comm Man for VGA" which was the recommended file. I have tried one with (fixed) in the name as well as one without, and I've tried them both in main memory as well as on the flash drive. I've also tried them both with RealVGA both in main memory and on flash drive? I've even tried loading sdkcerts - no joy.
You have to tweak it from the registry:
Allow the unsigned application to be installed by:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies
Change value 0000101a from 0 to 1
Do a soft reset.
Can you post a screen picture of how this Comm Manager looks at 96dpi? and maybe the Cab file too?
Thanks cktlcmd - the registry change fixed the problem. THere are 3 files that I found - I'm using the PK 2[1].0 file. Actually I've tried all 3 and cannot really see any difference. I've loaded the file on to the on board Flash Drive.
I've attached screen shots - you'll see that it looks fine in 96 and 128, but not good in 192 although it still appears to work. I'm currently running my x7510 in 128.
The things that still do not come across running realVGA are:
1. the Domain Enroll icon under Connection Settings disapears
2. ActiveSysc icon at the foot of the ActiveSync window in Programs is not quite there (no real big issue).
3. All of the program icons disapear from the HTC Launcher selection dialog (where you go to select programs to appear on the launcher grid). Once selected the icons apper on the grid just fine.
The biggest issue I have is that when selected RealOne Player hops all over the screen from landscape to portrait until it finally loads. Looks as if I'm having some issues with Skype also.
Two steps forward ..... one back!?

Your welcome.
Thanks for the pictures. It still looks funny in my view. I still prefer VCommManager for now.
Hello,
no one find problems with sms apps in 96 dpi display mode ?
Problem with installation...
Hi, got the following error message when I try to run the realVGA. Any advice on how to solve?
"Missing 128 DPI resources: ipsecvpnres.128.dll"
Tried 96 as well, same problem about missing DPI resources. Tried continue but soon get into continuous looping in resetting...
Thanks.

Look at post 168 by IRUS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406348&page=17
Thanks should be directed to him.
Just copy and paste the needed files to Windows Folder before activating the desired dpi.
Thanks cktlcmd for pointing to the VGA answer!
For my x7510 when i did the 128dpi setting on real VGA it did do everything smaller and a comfortable dpi. Its just all the icons in the "programs" menu are kinda not smoothish, as in they have jagged edges. Thats what i don't really like about RealVGA program is that the graphics kinda look bad.
Hey, this question maybe was asked before, but couldn't find it any where. We can do a lot of tweeks with removing/ changing file in WM6.5 folder, but every time i try to do so it says "Acces denied". what i do wrong and what i need to do. your help and tips are welcome!

Try Total Commander
For the language tweaks on this forum, and other stuff where you need to "overwrite" ROM files, use Total Commander.
It won't allow you hardcore stuff, but for many tricks advertised here it works.
Thinking of it, I wouldn't be able to come up with a good search term for this either. However, the threads with tricks do tell you to use TC.
thanks, but where do i use Total Comander? on PC or on HD2?? thanks again?
p.s. i wnated to change welcome screen to them nice girls on one of the theds and it didnt alow me!

Total Commander runs on the phone. It's basically a file explorer alternative that does a few other things, like registry editing, as well.
It allows you to overwrite read-only and system files that aren't in use.
You should have no problem replacing the startup images with it.
hey johncmolyneux, i see you are one of poor UK HD2 owners with skinned rom. i'll show up stupid again but where do i find TC on UK O2 rom. i had one on my touch pro but i just can't see one on HD2. maybe because O2 removed it? maybe you know link to download on for HD2? thanks in advance
don't worry, found it. anybody need it as weel it's freeware on
http://www.ghisler.com/smartphone.htm
Glad you sorted it. I just found it by googling.
Incidentally, I'm an O2 user, but my phone isn't an O2 one - I bought it SIM free. Also, Total Commander doesn't come on the standard ROM either, so you would have been looking for it regardless!
I didn't think O2 were doing anything to the phone. Have they skinned it then?

I've only played with the lockscreen myself, and I did that by copying the cpr file and the associated png files into the windows folder, and then just to be sure, I copied the cpr file into the \windows\lockscreen\ folder as well.
That worked for me.
As far as the start screen goes, I'd raise the problem in the thread that you got the screens from.
Good luck
hey, thanks, i just managed to do welcome screen, but still figthing with lock screen. could you please give link where i can find working lock screen files as ones i've got seems not working! thanks
