ampda How To, CAB Files, Hacks all together in one place

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?

Guys,
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

Any idea?

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.

Crossbow tweaks thread

How about we keep useful tweaks, and cabs for necessary things in this thread?
Please don't ask questions, they can be asked in the other Crossbow threads.
I know a lot of people have come from stock ROMs or cooked ROMs to this vanilla one, and are missing some things they consider essential, so let's make people's lives easier, and stick everything you need here.
I'll start the ball off with these:
Unlock Extended ROM, you can now access your EXT ROM, just in case you had some nifty apps you wanted to access after this update, or just use the space for something else.
Smartskey & OmapClock, I have set the ini set to run the cpu at 264mhz.
Unzip it to your device, and run the smartskey utility, it will add a shortcut to your startup itself, and that's it done You can always add a shortcut to OmapClock into your start menu if you just want to down clock or check what it's running at.

A few reg edits;
I found the following reg edits useful;
IE Cache to storage card
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Cache"="\\Storage Card\\Temporary Internet Files"
Enable Keyboard indicator
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"EnableIndicator"=dword:00000001
Improve call quality (this may not apply to you but I have had to do this on every ROM I have applied to my Wizard, otherwise the person on the other end of the line says I sound too quiet).
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN
EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME "AA"

Are you talking about the Contacts Backup that backups your contacts to a .csc file on the Storage card?

anyone willing to try a t mobile camera patch from aku 2.x rom? i took off wm6 last night cause the camera is so bad but i got to thinking maybe the camera patch would install enough files and registry changes to work on the wm6 rom. here is the link. let me know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=27188&d=1143366080

Coolcamera works, but no LED light.
The older camera cabs don't work for 3 I have found and tried so far.

Can you tell me how big is the extended_rom? If it is less than 10MB, why should we bother to unlock it? We can use TC to access it now.

interesting problem on tilt?

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

To get the favorite people tab back, delete this key:

i'm asuming this is what you meant? sorry but where do i find this key? thanks

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

Kaiser , TYTN II Slim WM 6.1 ROM super Fast and stable

Reserved for bugs
Reserved for bugs

I had lot of troubles with Kaiser Rom's since most of them are packed with a lot of stuff, which in the end degrades the performance, so, I have decided to make a super fast ROM.
Any application you need, you can simply get the cab file for it, so why have it in the ROM? Most applications now can be installed on the SD card, and thus saving the precious space for storage, and most importantly RAM.
I tried many Rom's and all of them were not giving more than 80 MB of RAM on TYTNII, this one gives 101 MB, after installing all the apps.
One benefit for having everything on the ROM, is when the device crash, and you need a hard reset. OEM packages are just automatically installed. Instead, I cooked inside the ROM TAutoInstall, which would automatically lookup the root of the SD card for any cab files, and after the hard reset, will show you a list of the cab files, and prompts you on which one to install.
Apps installed:
1- Comm Manager
2- Quick GPS
3- Java
4- Internet Sharing
5- Calculator
6- Microsoft One Note
7- Camera Album
8- sprite Backup
9- Quick Menu
10- .Net framework
11- Camera
12 HTC Photo Album
13- Remote desktop
14- CE File commander
Any other application , you can just install yourself, and have the option to install on the SD card.
Radio version is 1.64, OS is WM 6.1
Only 6 ringing tones are included as standard, so you can add whatever you want.
Enjoy !
To install, please unpack the file, and double click on customRuu.exe and follow the online instructions.
special thanks to Alex for his cooking tutorial. You can make your own ROM here Alex Tutorial
To download the ROM, please click here Slim Rom

Known Issues and how to resolve them
Issue : The right and left soft buttons are not properly configured.
Resolution : While you can add the buttons manually through registry, I am using AEButtons plus which allows to configure many functions for each button.
Issue : Arabization
Resolution : I use FeeJaibi Ain, works perfect with English interface

Yes, Camera V5 is there, and works great, together with HTC photo Album. What is really missing is an MMS application. I did not include it because I am not subscribed to the service

I am glad that you liked the ROM, and yes, it is the fastest
Now, here is the catch... There are 2 versions for Kaiser, one is with only one camera, and the other with 2 cameras. This ROM was written for the one with one camera, (the AT&T version) , and all buttons wor out of the box. I have 2 Kaisers, one the AT&T version, and the other, with 2 cameras. For the other one, I used aebuttons plus to configure the buttons to work,as well as add more functions to the buttons, such as double click , tripple click, long press...etc.

Usefull Apps for HTC MEGA Touch2 :)

THESE APPS ARE NOT MINE ! I just share them with u ! even when u install them , in the Remove programs menu , u can see the creator's name !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me intoduce u to my archive of usefull apps for MEGA users
1st cab - Make ur MEGA sound 20% louder than before
2nd cab - Return your MEGA to it's normal sound setting
3rd cab - Make ur Mega not lock itself when u press the OFF button ! Very usefull but after getting worried calls from granma " Why u called me and u didn't talk !? i got so so woried " i removed it It turns ur device in standby like default but it does not require to slide that cube to unlock keys are active !
4th cab - Make ur Mega lock itself like it was before
5th cab - Removes that teasing question when u install a new program/application and it asks if u trust the polices or some sort of that Very usefull !
6th cab - Activating the support of WiFi 802.11G
7th cab - Makes ur WiFi stay awake when the phone get's locked , usefull when using Skype(or similar) or dont want to connect/disconnect/reconnect every time u leave it for a minute and it goes in standby
8th cab - U know when u open something and there's a field where u can type something and ur keyboard goes on !? isn't that annoying !? Here's the solution ! It'll show on only when u want it !
I continue in the next post i cant upload more files in this one

THESE APPS ARE NOT MINE ! I just share them with u ! even when u install them , in the Remove programs menu , u can see the creator's name !!!!!!!!
Here i go on
1st cab - Increase your touch screen sensitivity ... i cant really say it works but it is worth trying at least it wont bite !
2nd cab - Change ur softkeys at ur Home screen ! could be very usefull if u got to talk a lot and got to have quick access to contacts and call history !
They'll become-- Left - Contacts Right - Call History
3rd cab - Rotate Screen ... i know there's alredy "How To" but i think this would be much faster and easier Install the cab , make a Soft Reset , go to "Start/Settings/Personal Folder" and start "Buttons" , mark "Send key (Hold)" if it isnt and from the bellow menu "2.Assign a program" choose "<Rotate Screen>" ! After that press OK and enjoy i really cant find it that usefull but u know the best
4th cab - Reset button Install it and u will open ur back panel 50% less than before ! it's just a shortcut , tap on it and ur device Soft Resets just like if u punched the back key , but now u dont have to open ur back panel and use ur stylus I really preffer it couse at sometime this backpanel could break some of the pins and it'll come unstable
I'm too booooored now to connect the MEGA to the PC and upload 1-2-3 more usefull apps , which maybe u alredy know but i'll do that tomorrow ... new owners would find this thread usefull

Nice collection. I can confirm that the sensitivity increase does work, its too twitchy though. I've performed most of these tweaks manually but its good for people who arent sure about it.
Now we just need a damn app that improve the camera and easily allows you to map the "take photo" button to a real button.

Thanks a lot
Really a good collections
Will give a try and will let u know the results.

Quality post mate, cheers - some of them are must have

Theft is a bad method of work makes. It was okay to tell me when you decided to publish it, provided that I personally make those CAB files and have them put it in another forum. To thy is quite offensive to me, and very bad talking to you.

Thanks mate ... love your collection with my Touch2

Okay, from what I understand you're calling him a thief for posting these files?
He never claimed he created or owned the files, he was simply re-posting a collection of useful files found here on XDA for mega users to find and access them quickly.
That's not theft.

The reason for not post them here these CAB files is that some of them with no problem. But the man who posted them might be explained in more detail where the problem is and how to remove it. Since the I'm doing them, but he is not declared anywhere where they took (the name of the forum) I have another name for it. Anyway - is alive and well! Please no longer discuss this issue.

Why can't I put this in my shortcuts on my Touch2? I've installed this one, but it isn't available in my list of programs that I can choose....
Is there a way to put a random file (or in this case an .exe file) that I want in my shortcuts??

10x i like this tread

Hi,
I installed
Disable_Auto_Device_Lock.cab
Sensitivity Touch.cab
Rotate Screen.cab
Softkey changе (Right-Contacts)(Left-CallHistory).cab
Every installation was successful and gives a message as
"The program you have installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows software."
And none of the program works.
I am using HTC T3320 which has Windows 6.5 V.
Pls let me know what i should do so that it works with Windows 6.5 V.

@ganesh.htc: did you try to soft reset your mobile? Try and try ...
Good luck!

Hi misatbt
After soft reset
Disable_Auto_Device_Lock.cab - Works
Sensitivity Touch.cab- i am not sure how to test it
Rotate Screen.cab - Works but has many defects so i removed it.
Softkey changе (Right-Contacts)(Left-CallHistory).cab - Works fine
Thanks a lot

i'm glad i helped with having posted these progs here ;]] after 30 mins will be home and explain "How To" put a shortcut in your Start menu ;]]
