Windows Mobile Ringtone Request (Or NB file extraction help...?) - General Topics

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey guys and gals.
I recently upgraded my XPERIA X1 to WM 6.5 using the W4X ROM on the ROM's page however, I have realised the guy who cooked it removed quite a lot of the default ringtones that come with the XPERIA (which I assume are part of Windows Mobile).
So, I'm curious how I could get them back. I have a back up of the previous O2 R2AA rom that came preinstalled and have extracted the NBH file to get several NB files (one, which is called Windows which I assume is essentially the Windows folder on the internal memory where all the ringtones are) but I'm not sure how to extract this image. Google search didn't help.
It's either that or one you nice chaps could possibly ZIP/RAR all the ringtone files within the Windows folder and kindly upload them somewhere
Cheers,
Hyped.

Windows Media Player 10 cab

Has anyone managed to extract the Windows Media Player 10 cab file from the extended rom?
When WMP10 came out and it was decided not to make it available for download, I remember some people saying it that they had extracted it from the Ext ROM of their new devices that had it but I dont think the cab was ever posted on a thread.
Does anyone have it? If so, does itwork by just installing it on another ppc that is relatively older - i.e. one that didnt ship with it.
That would be really good, as I don't want to put the chinese translated ROM back on my phone.
Unfortunately WMP10 isn't stored on the Ext ROM so just extracting it is out of the question. It appears to be embedded into the OS.
So I doubt you'll be able to get it as an upgrade install soz

Customizing .nb0 (ROM) files

Hi everyone,
My PDA support center distributes updated roms in "nb0" file format, I was wondering if anyone could help me throught openning this file and doing some modification. Since there are many unusefull applications inside it and I want to delete or subsitite them. I read some topics about cooking roms in forum but I cann't find any information about customizing "nb0" files.
Thanks!

Fortunetly, I could dump content of ".nb0" file with tools provided here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249836 (Beta: WM5 ROM editing tool). I got pleanty of files in dump folder. It's har for me to diffrentiate which file is which!
Could any one help me to find my voice command application inside this dumped rom and repalce it with another voice commmand application such as MS voice command?
There are some files and directories with this name in my dumped rom:
VoiceBar.dll, VoiceCtl.dll, voicedll.dll, VBarCall.dll, VCOMCtl.dll
I am really confused! I do not know what files should I delete or where copy new files.
Thanks in advanced.
i want to change my windows mobile 6.1 os 64mb rom to 128mb but i cant find any editing tool. im using asus p535 and rom file GalaxyII_new.nb0 like that.

HTC Home plugin not using Windows directory (quicker)

Hello
I noticed that many installations of HTC Home plugin put their files in Windows directory. This leads to speed problems.
It is better to use the version which puts its files into a separate directory HTCHome.

I thought all rom files went into the \Windows directory and that only via initfiles.dat (I think that's the file) would files be copied elsewhere (ie, using up double the space).
Please, correct me if I am wrong. Also, how do you put ROM files in a location other than \Windows?
I've re-heated a couple ROMS with the update HTCHome plugin that uses a server other than htc.accuweather.com because TMob has problems with it. It orginally pointed to \HTCHome for some of the files so I had to change the HTCHome.dll to use \Windows instead otherwise I would need to copy those needed files to \HTCHome which was a waste of space. I don't notice any slowness with it running from \Windows though. YMMV.
Using other location then Windows is good when adding the plugin later (I mean when it is not part of the original ROM).
HTC Home plugin has many files and when these are added to Windows it slows down significantly booting times/showing the content of Windows directory.
I think that if the plugin is part of the ROM there is not the speed problem. I had it as part of a Whiterat's ROM and it was ok.
But installing HTC Home which puts its files to Windows to TNT 4.0 rom (which does not have it) lead to a lot of problems...
The above mentioned version is ok - I installed it on TNT 4.0 without having any problems.

tekknogenius, can you please share your .dll so that those of us who want to use the weather server workaround on T-Mobile, can do so on other cooked roms?

I disabled the HTC Home plug-in, then overwrote the existing HTCHome.dll, but when I go to re-enable it, it is no longer in the list of Today items.
I tried to enable it manually through the registry, but no luck

Need dll.0409.mui files.

I would greatly appreciate if anyone can copy all the dll.0409.mui files from a OEM ROM of WM6.5 or 6.1 and then either zip or rar them and give me a link to download.
I know this is a HTC forum but I have no other place to get help. I own an hTY Q5 (ROM size=128mb) and finally managed to learn the proceedure to flash a new ROM, my phone uses the .img ROM file extention. Anyway I managed to snag a WM 6.5 ROM from a Chinese forum. Well it flashed and everything works properly but unfortunitly everything is in Chinese. I'm trying to purge the Chinese by what I have learned here. But certain files just will not let you rename them, right now most of my dll.xxxx.mui files are like this dll.0804.mui. I have managed to copy and rename a few files then paste back into the Windows folder. But some files won't even let you copy and paste into a differnet folder. I've been using Resco Explorer 2007.
I have been searching and working on this for weeks, Thanks for any help.

about cab and exe files

Hi.
One of the most frequently request i think is this: "Is there any way to convert cab or exe files into .xap ones?"
I haven't found anything about. Can you help me understanding if there is a possibility for this problem? I have an important app in .exe format i would install on my Samsung Omnia 7. Can you help me?
Tnx from south Italy.
Bye
Nico
Apps for wm <= 6.5 cannot be launched in wp7
but there has to be a way to translate .cab files , this OS is based partially at least on CE , and .cab files are in CE
I think the main problem is not the underlying OS, but the GUI is completely different. To put it simply, 6.5 and under had a different way of handling how apps looked and reacted on screen.
