Hi there!
I got a question... corresponding to this situation:
My Polaris with bepes premium rom 0.67 is running fine.(mostly )
Well, i set u a VPN connection to my home network, where a debian linux system is located with a gnump3d server. A Streaming MP3-Server.
It has a Web interface and i am able to access it, even to download the playlist files. The only F***** Problem is the file ending, or the mime type, or dunno how its called. When i download on of those files on my home pc, its saved as playlist.m3u and opened with winamp.
I got the Mortplayer on my device and i am almost sure that its able to handle these files.
But when I look on the downloaded file on my mobile device it hasn't got a file ending, and i am NOT able to open it. WTF? Any ideas?
The content of the file looks like:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8888/Folder/Subfolder/Track.mp3
It would be so great if anybody could help me!
Best regards
Win****
Hi everybody,
I am, as most of you know a skinner here on the forum.
So first of all i little explanation:
All dialers that I know of install all of their images in the /Windows directory on your mobile device. So when I skin a dialer I have to copy my files to that directory over and over.
In windows XP, the browser only had to load the file list from /Windows once and when it was done doing so, it blasted all images to the /Windows folder.
So I had to wait half a minute and then I just copied over all files, great!
Now I use Vista and it has to load then complete new file list for every file it want's to copy to the /Windows directory. With my previous dialers, I was ok with that. (+/- 20-30 images) But with the new Opal and Diamond dialer it has gotten a lot more. (total of ~350 images) That means I have to wait 350*30= 10500 seconds -> almost three hours for all files to be copied! And that is just demoralising!
So any suggestions on making this work faster are much appreciated!
I've tried to use Total Commander but it does not recognise my pocket pc and nor does FastCopy.
Thanks in advance (even for reading the enitre story )
Well, for me I had to connect my phone to my PC using the USB Mass Storage option instead of Activesync to increase the copying speed. I am using a Touch Pro.
That will prevent me from seeing the windows directory :/
Only sd card is visible then.

Your device has to refresh after every file copy, or Vista has to refresh the file list? What vista file browser are you using? Are you using Windows Mobile Device Center?
I have Vista Business x64 and I'm not having any problems copying to and from the \Windows dir. I will help you as much as possible.
It's not copying from the device but to the device that takes a very long time.
I'm using the standard file browser from vista and Ultimate x86 with WMDC.
My laptop (Windows Vista Home Basic) takes ages when copying files from my laptop to the /Windows directory on my device too. When I try to copy files for a Manilla2D theme for example, it takes about 5 hours.
In Vista make sure that you have "show hidden files and folder" deselected in Folder Options. Also, try disabling the "Show system files" option as well. This should minimize the number of files that explorer will try to display when refreshing, thus a speed increase.
I'll try to look into this more, as I just copied all the opal phone canvas files to \windows from my vista machine. It only took ~2 minutes to copy all the files.

But when I do this, I can't access the /Windows directory because its a system file?

Hmmm. Do you have your device configured with Mobile Device Center (setup to sync)? I ask because I don't sync anything with it. I simply use it to connect to the phone. Maybe this has something to do with it.
I'll also check the speed settings in Device Manager. Maybe there is something to adjust there.
One option I use is to pull the card and use a USB card reader to drag the files over. Lightening fast. The other is the USB connection option on some of the newer ROMS i.e. DCDs, Scrosslers (DCD variant). Has very fast directoru refresh and copy.

Vista has it own problems. Maybe do a double boot and start XP when you need to . . .
From an IT standpoint this is why many companies and people are not using Vista . . .
I know it is not the solution fo choice but it would work . . . .
Is there a way to modify,hexedit,hack an app that is hard coded to the Windows directory in the devices memory and redirect it to run from the SD card?
I've tried using Windows live Mobile from the SD card and it says some thing about trusted certificates or that it cannot find it's files.
I tried Hex editing the exe to change the directory from "\Windows\" to "\Storage Card\" but it doesn't work.
My devices is getting low on storage memory and i need to install every app from now on to the SD card.
Another app that has some dll's in the windows folder is Skype Mobile,i also tried hex editing it to change the path is looks at it's dlls,but didn't also didn't work.
Tried with CECabManager but i figured it's not the cab who gives the app the directory's to its files,they are coded inside the app itself.
Anyone has managed to run Skype,Windows Live Messenger or any other app that is hard coded into Windows folder to run from the SD Card?
Cheers,Anti.
search for extdir or extend dir based roms
It is super fast but has some disadv toos..
I've seen it but it cannot be added to ROM as an app,it has to bee cooked into it.
And i have an iPAQ HX2415 which is using spiatees 6.5 ROM.
I had no luck finding the lastes Windows Mobile "Classic" ROMs,all i can find is "Professional" ROMs.
Can i use WM 6.5 PRO in non Phone devices o.0? cuz i saw icons like incoming call,incoming sms,incoming voice mail,unknown caller avatar and stuff for Phone in the dump i did from spiatees ROM.
Can i use WM 6.5 Professional ROMs and remove all the phone stuff?
Under WM 6.5 in the Windows directory I find "Hidden Store/Tasks" that contains a large number of files of the kind *.tsd - what are these? Can they be deleted
I just backed them up and deleted them all from my Samsung O2. Everything appears to work the same. When I run some programs a tsd file gets created for that program. I think they are like a log ?
Well, after about 3 weeks of using Windows Mobile 6.5 on my new Samsung Epix (yeah, i know, old handset), I managed to break swf support.
I had it set up so that "File Explorer Extension" would open SWF files in Internet Explorer, without quoting the filename, and i had Flash Mobile 7 installed to handle it from there. It worked rather flawlessly.
The other day, i tried out the Advanced Configuration tool from TouchXperience (can't post an outside link yet), and tried to bind the swf extension to IE, so i could launch swf files from Total Commander and other external sources. Something went wrong, i tried to unbind it, and it broke all support.
From there, i uninstalled Flash 7, reinstalled it, and set File Explorer to open them in IE again. Every time i try to launch a swf now, IE spazzes out, spams me with error report prompts, and then proceeds to crash to the today screen, closing everything.
Anyone know what might cause that? Or help? If i have to reflash my phone, let me ask this while i'm at it. Is there an unofficial ROM of Windows Mobile 6.5.3 for the Samsung Epix? It's not a problem, but it just gnaws away at me knowing i'm not on the latest version...
um, don't mean to nag, but does anyone have a solution for this?
