I know this is gonna sound like I'm stupid...
How do you overwrite fiels in ROM?
For example, I have grown to love M2D, but I hate toucking the clock and getting the clock settings up... so the logical thing to do is replace clock.exe in windows with a null exe... simple? Well sometimes I can overwrite a file in ROM using Total Commander, other times it just doesn't do anything... I'm confused....
Moved thread to Q&A since this is not device dependant
Switch off the M2D today plugin and then replace those files
if you cant delete, its probably because the program is in use

My font in Comm Manager is messed up. Hardly readable and with missing language specific sings like åäö. Of course it's som of the programs I've installed thats causing this, but even if I uninstall them the right font doesn't appear.
What can I do? Besides hard resetting? Am I missing a font and if so, which?
i have the same thing. are you also using the orbit 2.
No, I've got a Polaris.
I had the same thing on my orbit 2, only way of clearing it was a hard reset. I suspected it was one of the skins i loaded for phonealarm.
no phoneallarm installed and same problem, so...
I had this problem for a while, I did some investigating and found that it was due to my installation of Weather Panel by Marsware. to fix this you need to delete the pixel.ttf and BRADHITC.ttf files found in the "Program Files\Marsware\WeatherPanel\themes\default" folder, i just renamed them to .bak. do a soft reset and you should be OK. If you don't have weatherpanel, try searching your device for any .ttf file, you should only have three Cour.ttf, tahoma.ttf, and tahombd.ttf and they should be located in \windows (don't delete these three) anything else you find might be the problem, try renaming and then Soft reset.
Same problem here; it appeared after installing phonealarm
search with resco explorer for .ttf
do not delete tahoma.ttf tahomabd.ttf cour.ttf
delete Bradhitc.ttf and
newton.ttf and
Pixel.ttf or anything else
Oh course I have both WeatherPanel AND PhoneAlarm.
But your advice did help. Thanks.
I was thinking what causes Comm Manager choose another font and how to stop it.
I'm thinking of two ways. Either copy the needed font to the same directory as the exe file or make a copy of the needed font and reneme it with an a in fron, if Comm Manager looks for any font, and goes for it an alphabetic order.
Similar thread here:

I have of course both Weather Panel and PhoneAlarm.
But your tips solved the problem, I uninstalled the fonts.
But what causes Comm Manager do take another font? Does it look for the "nearest" font in a folder close to it or does it choose from an alphabetic order?
I had the same problem in my XDA Orbit, but it isn't the phone fault, but WM's. I'v copied a new font (random one, for skinning Wisbar Advance) into /windows/fonts folder and after soft reset, the comm manager font changed. I think, that maybe, somehow, Windows makes the last used/updated/copied font a default font for it. Try re-copying tahoma in windows/fonts. I can't try it for myself now, waiting for my Orbit 2 hehe, but I know the issue. Hope it helped.
Alright... here's the deal. This may be a completely neophyte-esque question, but here I go anyway.
So I have File Explorer Extension v2.05 installed, and I love it and all, but I can't stand that icon! How could I keep that Extension installed but use the normal WM6 File Explorer icon installed instead?
Also, on a side note, where are folder icons stored on WM6?
Thanks much, guys!
Eh. Icons are stored..
I dont know your first question , but due to wm 6.5 letting you change your icons. They are in the windows folder/ and you go to whatever program icon u want changed. or windows/icons/edit

Yeah, I don't have 6.5... I'm 6.1, standard Verizon Touch Pro ROM.
Other question, maybe this is easier... how could I get the standard File Explorer icon, then set the File Explorer Extension shortcut icon to that?
It's a good question, and one I'd like to know the answer to.
Most programs pull in the icon associated with the .exe file - M2D is a good example when populating the launcher tab.
How do you change the icon associated with the .exe without an external program to do this?
e.g. not using 'reStart' on 6.5.
Nobody else knows anything about this? C'mon, I know people have changed icons in the past... help me out, here!
Hi guys!
I noticed that the clock (Manila 2.5) has some problems, for instances, after tapping the Quick Menu button or after tapping the home button, seems like the clocks delays and then returns to the actual hour.
Do you have the same problem, do you know how to solve it?
Thanks a lot!
That's not a problem, its a "feature" implemented by HTC to show off their flippy clock
MaxTTM has the ability to do this. It's available on the home layouts under "Flip No Anim"

Thank you very much! Will test it!!
OK, and how can I do the correction of this mistake? Because for me it's mistake, not "feature".
To get rid of flip animation, just unzip and copy this file to your Windows directory.

Thanks, i was looking for it
Im sorry but it doesnt work for me unzipped it in Windows and made read-only but still the problem.
Please look at my picture for device
EDIT
Searched some more and found this cab working for me
You should have just tried using total commander or such, as the built in file explorer will not work for this.

I used total commander but it had no effect.
But its solved with the cab file
hello folks!i want to ask a noob quastion!where can i find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE?because i want to change the 9 quicklinks to 16 and i dont want to put o .cab file to make job..i have total commander but i cant find it.thanks!i have hd2
you will need a registry editor like PHM regedit. I would however recommend using a cab file to do this for you. You have said that you are a noob and if you do something wrong you can end up having to hard reset your phone and it's just alot easier with a cab.
im noob for regisrty stuff but its ok!im using the cab from Co0kieMonster right now and everything is ok!thanks by the way
With TotalCommander go to root directory.
Choose //Plugins
Then choose registry
HKLM is what you're looking for.
Make changes with care.
i think you make a mistake!(but trully thanks for your answer)
i think the correct is :
root\regidtry\HKLU\software\HTC\longpressendkey\isquickshow
and you change the "0" to "1"
am i correct?

No problems, that cab is awesome BTW. Have been using it for a while
i think that with this cab my hd2 is slow....i dont know why!thats why i want to change quicklinks from registy
no answer?
changing it from the registry wont make it any better. You can try another 20 or 16 shortcuts as they may work better. The Cookie monster one comes with a few extras which may account for the slowness.
If you extract the setup.xml from the cab (using winrar or similar) on your PC you can see the changes that it makes. Also as far as i am aware the shortcuts is not just a registry change but also an edit of 1 or more the the core sense files.
Installed resco explorer.. and now everything is ****ed up....
the start screen doesnt have anything its just blank,
cant go into settings on the mobile
and alot more... only way to hard reset?
try first a soft reset. or, uninstall resco. but what happened? i doubt that resco did that to your device.
If you read through these forums you will find that very many people (myself included)use Resco Explorer without problem. I agree with Joshzzz and suggest you look somewhere different on your device. Could you post what rom you are using and what you have installed etc.
I don't recall seeing any of such but maybe I just didn't browse alot. I do know Resco File Explorer doesn't cause such problem for the multiple times I've installed, on multiple cooked and official roms, on multiple devices, including the HD2.
I second all those who have posted above.
I have installed Resco Explorer on my HD2 without any issues.
I suspect it may just be a coincidence that your problems started at the same time as installing Resco.
Did you install anything else at that time? Use Resco to alter a registry file? Tweak anything?
Everything was working really good before, im using stock 1.66 btw..
The only thing i installed today was Flashlite to play flashgames,
and i installed resco to change flashlite to play .swf files..
and right after i installed my whole home screen was just blank with alot of resco icons for doing diffrent stuffs...
tried unistall and soft reset.. didnt help now its just totally blank,
and when i enter settings i dont get up that black settings tree to change everyhing
i use BSB tweaks and Cookies home tab
but i never changed anything registry etc.. and resco i only used for 2 hours because it ****ed up so much

That sounds a lot like the Windows Mobile today screen. It sounds like all that has happened is that Sense has turned off.
To turn it back on simply go to:
Start - settings - today - items (tab)
Tick 'HTC Sense'
Then go ok.
Sense will restart.
