Hi guys. My TD2 seems to have stopped recognising zip files - or at least doesn't know what to do with them anymore.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Peace, Chris
How about "Pocketrar"? It's free!
Also "Total Commander", which is not only a better file manager than the standard one, but natively supports zip files, has a simple text editor, allows registry editing etc etc.
If you want to repair a broken file type association, like zip, quite a few simple configuration programs will do this.
Ok guys, thanks for those suggestions. I'm curious as to how the association got broken in the first place.
Have heard good things about Total Commander, will give it a shot.
Cheers.

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?

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!
Hi to all. First of all, I've tried to search but I got to ask since I can't find this topic anywhere.
Ok. Does anybody know how I can open a file with the extension *.txt with my preferred program? When I click directly on the filename, the text is opened in Word Mobile. I would like to just click the filename and don't open my application before I can edit my file. I'm using another application that I prefer for editing my txt files. All suggestions are welcome
use total commander to associate file extensions with programs if your pref
or do it manually using a reg-editor
Thanks for the reply. But if I associate from TC, it still open with MW when I start any txt file from todayscreen, (from within PocketPlus). I suppose that using the TC only work when you open from TC? So I'll try to use a reg.edit. and see what happens. Thanks again.
you can use Schap's Advanced Configuation and change file associations..
I've tried Adv Conf 3.3, but still the Mobile Word opens my txt files
what do you use to open them? you might have specific file associations in your file browser.
what about resco explorer? it works to fix this problem in my device
I prefer the NeboPad, and the registry sais that my txt files should be opened with NeboPad. It seems that MS override this, during the copyright
this is impossible. assiciations are set via OS.. if you set a specific association in Adv Config.. it'll work for the OS unless you're using a file manager that opens using its own preferences. try another file explorer like Resco
I'm running it from Spb Pocket Plus and not from any file explorer. In the Advanced Configuration 3.3 it's stated that file with the extension of *.txt, should be opened with \Program Files\NeboPad\NeboPad.exe. But still it's opened with Mobile Word. I think I'll have to go back to Notes with the *.pwi extension. Anyway, thank's for trying.
Regards
if you use notes and it works thru Spb Pocket Plus it means that this NeboPad is the problem, not your association.

Well. I've tried a lot of editors and pad programs by this time, but every time I try to open a TXT file, it comes up in PWORD. This must be something in the OS itself I belive. Or has anyone managed it to work?
At last!
Finally I've found a program that's works. It's MobilePad (nice too).

Hello,
I'd like to ask for some expert help.
I finally managed to edit an EXE file from Windows - just translating Japanese text to English. I used the MEditor suite. After saving, I "dropped" the file onto the SignCode.exe as per instructions.
When I transferred the file to its original location and overwrote the original one, I get:
"Cannot open... A critical component is either missing or cannot start because program memory is unavailable...."
I am sure I didn't change anything else but texts. So what could be wrong?
I am attaching the two files - the original and the edited - for someone to please look at them and let me know if there's anything I can do. This is Sharp's Barcode Reader.exe
Thanks!
Hey guys,
I am in need of your help, obviously .
I have downloaded an app called FeebeRingtones. It works pretty good so far, apart from an annoying point.
You get the option to download some songs from it, which are apparently saved in the /sdcard/FeebeRings/mp3 folder. This annoys me because it essentially makes those downloaded mp3 ringtones playable from my media player.
What i want to do is edit the apk and make it save in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones folder. I've opened up the apk, and got to a file named file_save.xml. Thing is when i open that file up its content shows up as gibberish. I tried opening it with an xml editor (Open XML Editor 1.6) but still no luck at all.
Can anyone point me at the right direction, as to what program to use and edit it?
I am attaching the file_save.xml in case anyone wants to have a look and help me out.
Thank you very much for your time.
This week I finally got around to backing up my text messages and clearing the text message cache on my HTC Touch Pro 2 (Verizon). (my God, it had become slow) I'm running WM 6.1 and it seems that the MMS text messages are stored separately in proprietary ".dat" files in the "MMS UA" folder in My Documents. I searched around xda-dev and couldn't find any way to extract the files contained within. From what I understand, they are referred to as "Arcsoft MMS".
Anyway, the file format is somewhat obfuscated so a true extractor wasn't possible but I was able to produce a tool that could extract all the files out of my .dat files. It is a total hack-job, but there don't seem to be any options. Like I said, I searched around for a few minutes and couldn't find anything else so I am now posting to ask the following:
Does anyone want the tool?
If there is no other extractor out there, I will post it to this thread. Also, anyone who has some Arcsoft MMS files handy that don't contain any private information could help by sending me a copy if the tool can't handle them. With some input, it could possibly become a valuable tool for the community.
Lend me your input.
Thanks
Sounds awesome, please post the tool!
Yes, would appreciate this as well - so many devices and MMS are cluttered among all of them.
Cool. Well here it is guys.
Remember that I couldn't completely discover the proprietary format, and although it works on all of my attachments, it may not work on all of yours. It is easy to update the tool, though, so just message me.

thanks for this mate...s
Thanks, works - not on all, though. Will check further if there is a common cause for the failing ones.
Improvement proposal:
1.) touch the extracted files with the timestamp of the .dat file
2.) check the content of the smil file in the body section if there are elements supposed to be present. afaik, the .smil is a tag-language which can deliver the MMS content with an appropriate viewer
Thanks for the quick feedback.
Improvement #3... GUI
As for the .smil file, you are absolutely correct. However, the issue is not knowing that there are files present, but finding the boundaries of the data. Arcsoft's binary packed format uses header bytes to describe how data is stored. Unfortunately, even though I was able to determine many of the header fields, without documentation I have no idea what they mean or what others may be used in a given archive. It does seem to depend on what kind of phone sent the MMS. Still, I think you may have a good idea going. I could perform a second pass after extracting the .smil, which is just XML, using file names and a lazy search.
One thing I didn't have on my phone was an MMS containing a movie file. I should try that out...
This is a great tool!
It works under desktop Windows.
How about a tool that can be used in WM itself? Anyone thought of that?
