I have been customizing my theme and have been able to change the clock a few times via cabs or manila files in the windows folder. Now I am trying to change to what I have decided is the "perfect" clock for my theme. It is 5 manila files 0aa5b915_manila, 78ca32be_manila, 757e7332_manila, 1c813f6c_manila, and 367f8f94_manila. When I try to dump them in my windows folder i get the ACCESS DENIED make sure your mobile device has sufficent memory, that the file is not read only, and that you have permision to copy this file type. I remember having this problem with my tilt back in the day but cant figure out how i solved it. Something tells me that some security needs to be disabled but i cant figure out out... anyone?
NM figured it out, total commander, yay no sleep!
Good for you, looks like you didn't go full retard...

I have an edited htchomesettings.xml that i want to put on my jade.
Everytime i try to drag 'n drop this file into my windows folder, i get the 'acced denied, be sure the file isn't read-only, in use or that you have enough space left'-error.
When looking at the file's properties (with Resco or total commander) it seems to be fixed in the Rom and i think that's the reason i can't overwrite it.
I already googled it and found some topics concerning this problem, and generally they all give the same advice:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2736263&postcount=500
the problem is, i already used both programs, and apparently it does not seem to work, or i'm doing it wrong or i'm overlooking something...
So, can anyony tell me how to overwrite this file with total commander or resco, if this is possible.
Many thanks, and sorry if this is a stupid question, i searched the web for about 3 hours before asking you guys .
It's a little easier than that. The only thing you need to do is make sure that the plugin is not running. In other words, deactivate the plugin in the Settings menu. Then, do a soft reset, just to make sure that the system has stopped using it. Then you can copy and paste with any program that you like. I have found that using a PC (via ActiveSync) works best. Good luck!!
Thanks for the quick reply thunder.
Unfortunately, it did not work out. I deactivated TouchFlo already (and did the reset). And still it gives me the same error.
"Cannot copy HtcHomeSettings. Make sure your device has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read-only, and that you have permission to copy this file type"
This time I simply used Active sync as you told me.
Again, does it have something to do with the fact that this file is hardcoded on the rom?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unfortunately, if it is built into the rom, you will probably have a hard time copying over it. Have you tried to edit the file directly on the phone? I believe that there are a few xml editors for ppc floating out there, you could try that. Also, is there anything in particular that you want to do that requires you to modify the xml? Reason I am asking is because you could use M2D Customizer if you are only looking into modifying some settings. Hope this helps...
Allright, found out how to overwrite it!
Made a .m2dct file containing my preferred theme and settings, then i edited the included HtcHomeSettings.xml file.
Then i used the M2D customizer to load the .2mdct file, and that worked perfectly.
Thanks for the hint, Thunder!
When iFonz tries to launch, error: An unexpected error has occurred in iFonz.exe. Select quit and then restart this program. Details:

Any help with this is much appreciated, thanks.
i need help with this. i really wanna get this working
::UPDATE::
i just installed version 1.0.4 and it worked?????? I cant change any settings though
i still want the new version if someone can help
because inbetween 1.0.4 and 1.1.2 you ned to upgrade to .netcf 3
most phones now come with .netcompact framework 2.0 but ifonz 1.1.2 need 3.5 to work install this and get back to me
i do have 3.5 installed.
on the ifonz thread, i put the framework from the first link on my phone(not the multilanguage one)
the link for ifonz is an exe (not cab) i have downloaded from a couple differnt links and its always a .zip file with ifonz.exe in it
the best way to do this is to go to program file and create a folder called ifoz and uzip the entire contents of the zip folder to it. and then creat a shortcut from the ifonz.exe and paste it ti windows/startmenu/programs
and then soft reset
when the fone boots up then go to start/programs/ifonz an it should work
create the ifonz folder on my phone or on pc?
ok, i made a folder on my pc called "ifonz"
i put that folder in my phone in "my documents"
now, it works but has some problems
when i go to settings, the save and cancel button are huge and i cant click on or scroll thru any of the settings options
and the battery meter, signal strenth, etc icons at the top are big so they are scrunced together and i cant read them??
plz help
what type of phone do you have?, and which version onf the app did you download vga or qvga
when you creat the ifonz folder it has to go in the phone/ theres a folder called program files it needs to go in here
I have an i760 with wm6
ill try putting it in that folder and see if it will work
i really appreciate the help btw
I just put it in that fol;der and its doing the same thing as in my above post
it looks like crap and i cant change settings
the i760 doesnt run on windows and isnt touchscreen so i take it you mean i780
what version did you download
i just checked to make sure. it is an i760 with WM6 and touchscreen
http://www.pocketpccentral.net/samsung_i760.htm
it is version 1.1.2 that im trying to get to work(ifonz)
i have tried that version and 1.0.4 and they both do the same thing
i have tried different downloads and i have uninstalled and reinstalled everything, and done soft resets. i just want this to work
did you download qvga or vga
Sorry
yes, i made sure it was qvga
all the info i looked at said this phone is qvga, correct?
correct now
after you have downloaded ifonz 1.1.2
make a folder in the phone called ifonz in the my device/program files
then unzip the contents of downloaded file into the newly created folder
then soft reset the go to file explorer and to to my device/program files/ifonz
tap and hold on ifonz.exe tap creat shortcut then go to the shortcut (it should apperar at the bottom of the folder
copy and paste it into /my device/windows/start menu/programs
soft reset
then once the phone has rebooted gp to start -> programs and click on the ifonz icon
this should now start ifonz
Well, ifonz starts and works now. Its just not right (large icons and can't change settings.) do you think doing it the way you said will fix the problem?
should do. mind you you caould always try vga version to see how it differs
Alright, thanks for the help. Im gonna have to wait till i get home and ill let you know if it works
no problem
it starts but still acts the same. the save and cancel button work in settings BTW
what other programs do you have running
Ok, So with more hours spent trawling the site with a little help, I figured out which files I need to change to have different colours for switches on the comm manager but, how the *!$&@@@@**%$£"" do you change file marked as;
Read only
System
ROM
Winmo file explorer cannot do it
Total commander cannot do it
Resco changes the name, win mo chucks a **** fit and then changes the name back to stock
Windows explorer cannot do via active sync
So, how do I rename the original (so I can revert back should I need to) and copy the modified?
Beer tokens at the ready!
Thanks for reading
(PS, I know this has been covered a number of times, but I think I've covered the solutions provided so far in the above)
Checked out how to make a cab file, made it, installed it, sorted.
Firstly apologies for the noob question, I'm still very new to this WinMo stuff. And secondly I've searched about the forum all day but still having problems....
I've just got an HD2 and wanting to put some of the tweaks on it I've found via this site. When downloaded on my PC I'm faced with 4 or so files, two or three perhaps starting with a 'cab' file name and the other a reg or set up file. Basically what do I then do with these files? With the phone conected via USB I went into the deice memory and dropped all the files into the memory, did a soft reset, but nothing happened, no extra feature etc. Phone just started up as normal. Sorry for my 'thickness' lol. Would welcome any advice or a pointer to somewhere where it may be already written.
Thanks.
Do not unzip the .cab place on phone and browse phone with File Explorer, click on the .cab and install to Device....
It's a common noob mistake as .cab's are compressed archives so look like .zips on computer....
Thanks for the quick reply, I'll give that a go....
after dropping them on the device you have to run them. Open File Explorer and just launch them from there. A setup will be launched usually.
Thanks for the above advice, worked a treat.
Well I've had no problem putting cab files onto my HD2, however now I want to remove a few of them. Not sure how to remove the actual thing that I've changed??? I go into the device memory and I can delete the cab itself but the 'change' still remains, such as new task bar icons etc.
Any help appreciated....
settings -> add remove programs
just like on a computer
Oh yes of course, makes sense now. Many thanks
baring in mind every think is htc is like a picture, could you not look on the windoes files, find out which picture is which and then just copy edit and replace.
cause looking at htc message is boring, and i reckon if i could find the background image i could change it... if everyones following so far?
is this possible or am i confused?
yep, something like that. Except everything is inside the .manilla files , so you need to open the right manilla file and replace the image there. Look at cooking instructions, it should be explained there (I'm pretty green in that area, but that image replacing I found to be easy).
I don't know if there is a list of what each manilla file includes, so you probably need to check each file for the image you are looking for.
i tryed copying the files from windows to my sd card but it kept failing, i used to have a k800i and i had this program which was like a virtual phone, everything was clickable and when you click it you could change it to whatever you wanted then copy the files to the phone... does anyone know anything like this for htc.
do you know how to access the htc phone memory on computer it would make this process so much easier
