Original/Standard Spbcalc_L and Spbcalc_P png Image Files
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a quick question. Is anyone willing to e-mail me the Tilt's (HTC AT&T 8925) original/standard spbcalc_L (landscape mode) and spbcalc_P (portrait mode) files? These two skin files allow the phone's original calculator to display. In the process of installing a few new skins for my calculator, I wrote over the standard files and lost them. I'd like to roll back to the phone's standard calculator, but I am now unable to do so without these two png image files. Please let me know if you're willing to send them to me. The two files are located inside of the Windows folder, which can be accessed via the File Explorer program. Thanks a lot. I know this is a relatively minor issue, but I'd appreciate the help.
P.S. If anyone has the HTC AT&T 8525 model, then the files from this phone would work for me, too. Thanks!

I know you can get them from other places either in CAB or in OEM Packages. However, it's just too difficult to get them all together.
So I present you some of the OEM packages which I collected, extracted or created for use in my ROM.
1. The first one is taken from Schaps' ROM. It's a 3G-Battery with Indicator. I didn't ask Schaps' permission for this. I hope he's cool with it.
2. O2 Backup is taken from O2 Life and has been fixed to work on all devices. It allows you to backup PIM & My Documents data
3. O2 SMS Plus v1.6 is also taken from O2 Life. It's sorta like SMS Threaded applications. It also allows you to send/receive vCard from other dumb phones. It also support group SMS & Scheduled SMS
4. HTC Album v1.1030.720. Taken from a CAB file with fixed English Interface (Originally Chinese). You can choose which Folder to browse.
Here are another 4 Packages:
1. Newer version of HTC Home v2.1.105.722
2. Adobe Flash Lite v2.1 with the Cool HTC Animation from Schaps
3. Schaps' Advance Configuration v1.1
4. Palm Threaded SMS with fixed database folder. Instead of in Windows Directory, I patched the database to be stored on 'My Documents' folder for easy backup. You need to rename your backup SMS data from 'PalmMsgv001' to 'Palm01' and copy it to 'My Documents' folder.
Another 4 Packages
1. KeepAlive is a very old freeware from WinCE days. It prevents your PPC from turning Off. It's very usefull when you need to let you device on all the time.
2. PowerOff is another old freeware from Scott Seligman. It just shows a tiny PowerOff buttons at the Today Screen.
3. O2 Smart Text is also taken from O2 Life. It's just another thumb inputs with T9 capability. Good for One-Handed Operation
4. Picsel PDF Viewer. Taken from PPCGeeks. A superb PDF viewer compared to Adobe offering.
I downloaded all but I couldn't install even a single one.
These are not cab files nor installation .exe files nor a folder placed in the machine to run off with.
What are they? If these are for ROM cooking only then they are outside what most of us want to deal with.
These are OEM packages for ROM cooking and since this is the upgrading forum its the right place for things like this to be posted (IMO).
I personally wouldn't mind a separate forum for cooking, as some of the questions here are rather 'off topic' from ROM upgrading (flashing) or cooking, since installing an application is not an UPGRADE in any sense of the word...
Until then, it seems like this is the right place for this...
Thanks for your contributions [email protected]...
wow...a package for palmsms...hopefully it works.
Thanks for the packages! Am sure some cookers will find these handy!
how to benefit from thsoe if you are not a cook?
Hello,
a lot of thsoe packages look really useful, but, noby uses them so far in the offical release ROMs.
Cooking your ownROM still sounds intimidaing to me (and mybe others), so is there an easy to get thsoe as cab files, or is it posible to cook a delta ROM just adding those pakcages to one of the release ROMS?
Thanks
Juju
As requested by you here or via PM. Here are the CAB files for the OEM packages.
The 3G Battery Level will replace a system file. So you need to install Certificate CAB to allow the installation.
For Keep Alive, PowerOff, Advance Configuration, just copy the execute file to your Kaiser. No installation is needed.
HTC Home & Album CABs are widely available so I won't post them again. To change the HTC Album to English menu (from Chinese) you need to copy the 'RFileShell.dll' from Resco Explorer english Version.
Enjoy!
There is another nice application called O2 Theme which works well with kaiser. This is the WM6 version of O2 Plus. To learn about this, you can go to this thread I posted in Athena board:

Subject: M8 help hint
hello developers
your product M8 is very good!
one more idea, to improve usability:
make an option to let keyboard appear from top of screen, till the middle.
the reason is: some applications have text input field at the bottom, but doesn't recognize keyboard allocated this place. and doesn't redraw it's input field higher (on the top of new appeared keyboard), so application text input field becoming invisible until the end of input.
another solution on same problem:
make your keyboard application it's own temporary input window on top of keyboard.
(it may optionally include increased font size for better visibility on street)
will be waiting for your reply, and a new version
thanks
now, let's wait for new release of it (under name of O2 or standalone M8)
Palm Threaded SMS changed database folder

I guess this is somewhat helpful because it's easier to back up the My Documents folder than find PalmMsgv001 in \Windows and back that up.
However, I hardly ever put anything into \My Documents because of the chance of forgetting about backing it up before flashing a new ROM. Hopefully someday we'll see a Threaded Messaging app that has more options - like save folder, and font size (the font is so tiny!). That's why I liked TxtMan - but it crashes too often, and isn't completely integrated into the Windows messaging system.
if someone could fix palm to work on the kaiser thatd be fabalous.. i know im jumping off topic but im willing to offer up $25.00!

Hello
I have a few questions about cooking WM6 ROM.
Could anybody help me?
1. How to make my own menu start structure?
2. How set my own ring tones to notifications?
3. How to make HTC Home pack with covered contacts, music and profiles tabs?
I know these have been covered elsewhere, but maybe not explicitly and in one place - so:
1) In an Initflashes file, you'll have to tell it to move a shortcut into the \Windows\Start Menu\ folder, or the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ folder - depending where you want the link to show under the Start menu.
2) Change your ringtone/notifications to the one you want, then look through your registry for it - you might want to look around the HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds and HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications keys. Once you've seen how you want them set up, make (or edit an existing) .rgu to include these changes.
3) Have a look in Alex's excellent kitchen at the existing HTC Home modification packages. These should point you in the right direction for what files and settings to include (don't use HTC Home so can't help more on this).
If you don't know what I mean by any of the above, please do an awful lot more looking around the Wiki and related threads as starting threads around here when the information is here for the finding is a quick method for lots of flaming and not much help (friendly advice - not a threat!)
Good luck.
Thanks for answer.
1) This it’s clear for me. But I don’t know hove to change place of existing shortcut like: Mobile Office, search, Note, etc.
2) I will try this way.
3) I don’t know why, but Alex's HOME packages don’t work correctly on my Polish rom. Can’t use weather and launcher tabs.
4) I had make my own HOME packages based on previous version. In this version I don’t have tabs with settings.

While most shortcuts are set by initflashes files, the ones for those in the ROM are often set by .provxml files. In the case of Office, this is in mxipupdate_office_100.provxml which is in the SYS/Office folder in the kitchen. I just use Notepad to edit it.
Sorry I can't help with the HTCHome bits - just takes up too much space on my Today screen for my liking.
Hello there!
Everyone here contributes to the forum by sharing their lovely creations, awesome! Now its my turn to make something that I can share with the community. Can anyone please guide me in the right direction to customizing or modifying Manila and the Sense UI? I have an USA HD2 running Manila 2.5.20121412.2 and Sense UI 2.5 with Co0kie's Home Tab 1.8!
Any help, links, or briefly explanations will be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance and have a good day.
The most important tool, in my opinion, to customize Manila/Sense files would be the famous CFC GUI program found HERE. Download it to your computer.
The next step is to actually get the Manila/Sense files to edit. Either copy all of the '#####_manila' files from your devices \Windows directory to your computer, OR dump a ROM that has Sense included and use the '#####_manila' files found in the 'dump' folder.
(Dumping a ROM is a fairly simple process, but I believe the steps differ per device :: I have a Touch Pro/Fuze, but I use a Kaiser Dump tool to extract the files from Touch Pro/Fuze ROMs.)
A good article/wiki to peek through, and read, would be HERE. It helped me out, not sure if it will work with the HD2 though.
****
Once you have the 'dump' folder on your computer from the dumped ROM, then Open CFC GUI and direct it to the 'dump' folder. It will, in turn, scan all of the qtc manila files {Graphics}, and from there you can extract the .pngs... alter them in Photoshop {or other preferred software}, and import the png back into the manila file.
NOTE ::
It's always good to have copies of certain manila files. For example, I customize the Flip Clocks. I created a new folder, named it accordingly, and dragged the manila files FROM CFC GUI to the folder. Doing so will copy those specific manila files to the new folder. Then you can re-direct CFC GUI to the new folder and work that way.
Once you have edited the manila files to your liking, you can:
Disable Sense on your device, replace the manila files in your devices \Windows directory with the new ones you edited, and restart Sense to see the changes.
Or you could package them into a CAB file which will automatically replace the manila files on your device.
I use the second method, as it's easier to distribute this way.
I use OCP WinCE Cab Manager. It's not free, but was well worth the purchase.
hello all,
for years i am a dedicated Windows Mobile kind of guy.
However, i recently had a change of heart -> just purchased LG Optimus 2X (Android 2.2)
First thing i've noticed - all my notes are not recognized!!
can someone please tell me a way to make them readable again? (editable is optional)
p.s. i know there are threads about this already, such as : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779658 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676858 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350076 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=639761 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627519
and i assure you i've read them all; unfortunately none were useful, ergo i created my own thread
Me too, someone please tell me which program can convert *.PWI to AK Notepad's format
Bump to top, please help us, thank you.
I just purchased a Droid Charge, also all of my .pwi files are on my SD card but cannot open them, thank you.
I am in the same boat!
I have been a dedicated Windows mobile fan since 2000. I also have accumulated a lot of .pwi files. These are a mixture of recorded audio and text files.
The only way I think it currently can be done is by copying the *.pwi files to your PC and opening the text files in Word.
For Audio files, from trawling the web, I have found two options:
1. install the correct cab file in the attached zip on your WM phone and convert on your old phone.
2. View this link http://www.codingbeaver.com/myblog/index.php/2007/06/25/convert-pwi-file-to-mp3-file/
Option 2 is the only one available to me, as I no longer have a usable WM phone and I have all the .PWI files on my PC.
I used UltaEdit
As the guide states you need to delete all characters up to the word RIFF.
Then rename the file *.wav
At that point you can convert the fille in any format you wish.
I hope this helps?

Hi
I use a WIZA100.
I have to install Mi_MediaSupportv2 (midi support).CAB to be able to use mid as ringtones >.> unfortunately that cab also disables pimg.exe as a side effect. I can't preview my camera pictures and I can't add pictures to my contacts
I want to explore the registry added by that cab, but it is compressed and everything appears scrambled. It is not stored as registry entries anyways
I need a cab editor or a program which lets me extract the registry keys from that file. I know there used to be something like that during the rom kitchens era.
Thanks!
Solutions found
I used the excellent program
CeCabMgr_Setup.exe by OCP software. It costs $100, so I will have to stop short after the trial.
I modified the cab so It didn't affect my pimg.exe It also uses up 1mb less from what the original file uses, still enabling my PDA to use MID and MIDI files as ringtones.
I will uploaded the modified file here.
