Mate,
Where can download the Ver 3.0(build 210801)

tell us how to get it off the phone and ill upload it!

u hv to hard reset the device 1st if u wan to get accessed to the ext rom.. so can u think of any way to make ur fren device hard reset....?

Hard resetting a friends device is always fun But if you don't really feel like it, you can just run the file windows/loadvdisk.exe instead, to gain access to the Extended_ROM folder. At least that's how it works on the Magician...

somebody needs to explain slowly, what exacly step by step does he need to do? Cheers

mayb u should use HBK method.. if there is loadvdisk.exe in the /windows directory of ur friend device.. after that u will c a folder named ext_ROM appear.. choose that folder n find for .cab file that u think that it sounds like camera file... gud luck

Hey,
How abt copying the exe file from windows folder and replace it to the older version exe.. Be sure to take a backup before replacing
Cheers..

Just copy the camera.exe from \windows to your desktop with Act.Sync & attach it to the board. No need for a cab, on the magician it's a single executable, proba. on the WM2005 version too. I doubt it will work on a magician under WM2003, but I'll give it a try!!!!

hes only got the upgraded mda compact its still running wm2003

so have u tried the method mentioned above to get the camera file?

WM2003SE is great news in this. Though I didn't notice major improvements in the camera builds between rom 1.12 & 1.13.
Maybe build 3.......?

any news???
greetings from berlin

yes! i transferd the camera.exe onto my phone and it doesnt work. It ajusts the brightness on the screen and rotates it but thats as far as it gets.
Just getting him to install resco to get the cab file

further update - he doesnt have loadvdisk on his.
we tried to copy over the dlls that go with the camera but neither resco or over activesync will let him do it... so were stuck!
-edit
weve got
camera.exe
CameraPictureDLL.dll
CameraVideoDLL.dll
he says theres no more camera related files on his, where as mine has camera_sensor.dll and one or two others.
ive coped these files over and it still does the same thing, rotates the screen ajusts the brightness then stops.
Im not gonna upload the files into this thread as i dont want cause confusion with people thinking its a working version (no matter how many times i say it doesnt work people will still asume it does!)
If anybody wants a copy of the files though pm me and ill give you a link

Loadvdisk.exe ia hidden-, system-, rom file. So get your settings correct.

??? how do i do that?

Try to rename that for example camera.ex_ , then it might be two files copy one of them which could copy or do soft reset & move your renamed camera.ex_ to as

Ryanmt.. b4 that try to look again for the resco explorer settings so that u can view all hidden files in the \windows dir.. after that locate the loadvdisk in the \windows n click it... after that a folder named Extended_ROM will appear.. try this 1st

HTC Home plugin not using Windows directory (quicker)

Hello
I noticed that many installations of HTC Home plugin put their files in Windows directory. This leads to speed problems.
It is better to use the version which puts its files into a separate directory HTCHome.

I thought all rom files went into the \Windows directory and that only via initfiles.dat (I think that's the file) would files be copied elsewhere (ie, using up double the space).
Please, correct me if I am wrong. Also, how do you put ROM files in a location other than \Windows?
I've re-heated a couple ROMS with the update HTCHome plugin that uses a server other than htc.accuweather.com because TMob has problems with it. It orginally pointed to \HTCHome for some of the files so I had to change the HTCHome.dll to use \Windows instead otherwise I would need to copy those needed files to \HTCHome which was a waste of space. I don't notice any slowness with it running from \Windows though. YMMV.

Using other location then Windows is good when adding the plugin later (I mean when it is not part of the original ROM).
HTC Home plugin has many files and when these are added to Windows it slows down significantly booting times/showing the content of Windows directory.
I think that if the plugin is part of the ROM there is not the speed problem. I had it as part of a Whiterat's ROM and it was ok.
But installing HTC Home which puts its files to Windows to TNT 4.0 rom (which does not have it) lead to a lot of problems...
The above mentioned version is ok - I installed it on TNT 4.0 without having any problems.

tekknogenius, can you please share your .dll so that those of us who want to use the weather server workaround on T-Mobile, can do so on other cooked roms?

I disabled the HTC Home plug-in, then overwrote the existing HTCHome.dll, but when I go to re-enable it, it is no longer in the list of Today items.
I tried to enable it manually through the registry, but no luck

Porting T-Mobile Shadow's Chome plugin to other devices.

Hello.
I'v trying this for a couple of hours without effects.
Dumped rom, builded modules with PKGTool. Files are in OEM/Oemdrivers and SYS/Chome. It does't run by just copying. Need some way to regsvr dll files. Because Chome plugin is accesing partial plugins by GUID.
Anyone have idea?

I did the exact same thing. I haven't had any time to try anything else because I have finals next week. I'll let you know if I get anything

To all helpfull shadow users
Can some T-Mobile Shadow user backup those registry keys?
all those are in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\
Code:
{D7B35490-A4B2-4ef4-BF8D-332C4979F14E}
{892B90CB-9806-427e-8BED-F45C6A9E576B}

or better just backup HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ and send me PM - I'll sent my mail.
You can use Registry Workshop to do this.
Those keys don't contains any personal information or settings so it's safe- don't worry.
//////////////////////////Edit////////////////////////////////
I've recieved all CLSID from [email protected]://allshadow.com forums but still no luck...

I'll be getting my own Shadow in a couple of days. I can do the backup then. Once again, I don't have much time to do anything else because of school and a robotics team I'm on.
Nice job finding those keys!
When I tried flashing my first rom with all of the CHome plugin stuff in it, the ROM flash to the wizard stopped at 78%...

I uploaded all the plugins and .png + reg entries that seems to be used with the chome home screen. all files are here:
http://www.esnips.com/doc/14b31b95-2c8f-4ae9-a6c9-1453df7d05e6/shadow
copy all the files in Windows to Windows folder. Add all the registry entries and copy T-mobile_basic_blue to Application Data\home\ folder.

Once I've tried to put all the files to my phone, I even got all the regedits (or maybe I've missed something) and I just got a white space on my homescreen.

how do i add the registry's to my phone?? do i add them with a reg edit app??

You cannot normally import .reg files on smartphones. However Resco Explorer from resco.net can do that.

Have You manage to run this plugin on non shadow device?
Files are easy to extract but make it work does not.

I tried on qtek 8500. It doesn't run and after reset the device stucks. Need a hard reset to factory defaults to work again. fortunately I had a backup.

I just got my own T-Mobile Shadow and I found out that you need to have a .scheme/.home XML file that sets the plugin. I think it's called cmhome.home. Also, you need cmhomeres.dll.0409. I'm going to try adding these in to the rom...
...unless they are already there and I haven't noticed

any update.. can i have a copy of the rom u builded thx

Can You just post orginal Shadow rom.

Can somebody upload new Shadow update to rapidshare?

I'll post it as soon as I get home. School's proxy blocks FTP upload/download and exe files.

Rom link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5GART6H6. Sorry I forgot to upload before

Thanks for posting the new ROM!
I had some success with the old one here:
http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y15/GnatGoSplat/3125Shadow/
It was a complete ROM port though. I'll see about making a CAB when I have some free time.

cant wait wanted it since shadow came out...i have s620 will it work with landscape

MiniWeather for the VOX

Hey guys... just released a new chome weather version that should work with the VOX also. Can somebody give it a shot ?

I can't seem to get it to install,
Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions.
I'm using version 3 of Zeeshee ROM.
Cheers,

Same for me! Same rom. Btw, both weather progs delete my clock icon and blackscreen is not possible to load. (mini with dr.gonzo 6.1 rom)

Everything works!
Extract from cab all files for Windows directory and place them into the device.
Delete this files from cab and save cab.
Modify cab working.

Works brilliant .. Thanks a lot keep it up ... i like the background on the pictures what you post there . it will be great if you send it as well . cheers

I'm being stupid here.
I still can't get it to work.
Can someone upload the modified cab please.
Thank you.

Unzip attached file.
Copy files from 'Windows' (archive) to 'Windows' (device).
Copy cab to device and run it.
Reboot.
Enjoy!

Excellent!
Thank you for posting.
Regards,

Anyone have a screen shot of what it looks like?

Thank you it works perfect now.

Got it to work, sort of, so please help.
weather.yahoo.com gives me NLXX001 as code
Doesn't seem to do anything
(And so is c>f not working)
Are we still using weather.yahoo.com as source?

I had already installed the original MiniWeather on my on my vox (Orange E650) and all was OK except that in portrait mode the weather image didn't show on the clock tab whereas it did in portrait mode. So I decided to install the vox version to see if it would be fixed.
Unfortunately I've found that the files can't be copied over to the device's Windows folder because Resco says they already there as read-only files in ROM and therefore cannot be overwritten. So after installing the 1.0b CAB I get the following error when I initially select options:
Unknown command: "nu=timestamp"
Line 13(\program files\nrg\chomeminiweather\SetOptions.mscr):nu=TimeStamp()
Is there anything that can be done? Would the clock/weather Image have been fixed anyway? If not I'll revert to the previous version
Thanks and nice program !!!

can someoene post a home screen to show how this should look. Its messed up on mine i believe I get 2 panels - the first one works but the image is messed up. The second one says "forecast" but in there it just says "push centre button to update, push right softkey marked options to set your options"
I had trouble copying the two chome files to the windows directory - it said I didnt have permission to copy them.
can anyone assist ?

Frottage........ It sounds like you've had a similar problem to mine above.
If you can't copy the files over the install doesn't work properly.
I've reverted to the non-Vox version and all now seems OK on my Orange E650 with Dr.Gonzo's 5.2.19195 Rom

Try using the Resco Explorer trial to copy them across. It's because the files it's trying to replace are in ROM. Resco worked on my Dr. Gonzo E650.

Default download location

I have a Telus branded TP2, and I downloaded .Net compact framework 3.5. I originally had dl'ed to my storage card, but it wouldn't run that way. I then dl'ed it to my device by tapping "open" instead of "save". When the download finished, it didn't launch. I see by my leftover device memory that it did download, but I can't find it.
Does it need to actually be installed, or is it already running, and how do I find it? I did a search, even went manually through my files, but cannot locate it.

Wow, 60 plus views & no help? Anyone? Did not think it would make it off the front page with zero replies.

Try File Explorer andlook in the My Documents folder.
Did you download with Opera?

Thanks for replying. I went through everything I could open with file explorer when I downloaded it, couldn't find it. Even tried finding it with Total Commander. I don't remember if I used Opera or IE.

I had the same issue when selecting open instead of save. The cabs have been saving to a folder called MUSIC...this is a different folder from the folder My Music. when you open file explorer go to My Device and the folder MUSIC should be located there. Consider that I have a Verizon TP2. I hope this helps.

I did actually look there, looked in all my folders, still can't find them. Thanks for the suggestion nevertheless.

Did you try looking in \Application Data\Opera9 ?
If Net CF is loaded you should see it under remove programs.
