Can't replace wince.nls
I have a Win Mobile Phone Edition 5, very first one in U.S.
I tried to load chinese so that I can read chinese. I copy over font file and am able to see Chinese in Word, providing that I select options.
However I got issues with IE, because I there is no option for me to change the encoding.
I learned that I need to change wince.nls file. And I downloaded your file. Now I got an issue "Access Denied" message when I try to override original wince.nls. Looks like it was in ROM.
Any idea?
Thanks
you should use another file explorer other than the system's one, and then you can overwrite it
the tool is in the attachment(it's in chinese language), it's a green software
The attribute is grayed out.
Thanks for your prompt response and the program.
maybe i did not use it right, some how the menu of the program is mess up. see the attached.
I have Resco Explorer 2005, which also show wince.nls is in rom. Every time I change the other attributes, it changes back when I re-open property page.
While I have a pocket PC 2003 Dell x3. The wince.nls is not rom file.
Can I override rom file?
It is about mid night here in U.S. I will check back first thing in the morning, just in case you do not get response from me right away.
Again, thanks for your help.
on wm2003 it was possible to "override" files in ROM.
Now it is not.
You have to wait until we'll be able to decompress the ROM and inject your wince.nls into ROM.

ok, i've downloaded your chinese.rar to test-it ...
i've replaced the wince.nls with this procedure
in \windows\ , i've renamed wince.nls to wince5.nls
got an error message "Can't delete wince.nls" , but it's renamed
Copy the new wince.nls to \windows\
Copy fonts to \windows\fonts\
import reg file ... modified
soft-reset
...
Anything appears ...
i'm not able to choose chinese in regional settings
In the registry , after soft-resest , nls automaticly set to "0409"
if i set to 0804 and soft-reset , poof .... 0409
I think there is another problem
OK, I will wait.
One another thing I noticed: through ActiveSync, I can create a folder in windows, (well, as you expect). But I can't copy the wince.nls file to even the newly created folder, not just windows folder. On my PC, the message saying... no space or no permission, etc. I do have like 3-4mb left in main storage and install other program.
Just for your infomation.
it is easily possible to copy wince.nls to your \Windows folder. Just create a cab for it.
But it is not taken into system... That;s the problem here...
Will look at it further...

I'm success to copy it in my himalaya. I had tried several method, one of them is o.k. but not sure is this one or not.
1) copy the wince.nls to somewhere in your SD Card.
2) Boot your Himalaya into Safe Mode.
3) Then copy the wince.nls to your Himalaya's \windows\
4) Soft Reset.
Do you mean that you can choose the Chinese region now?

only 1.60b could be chineselization
I had tried to replace wince.nls in WM2K5_160C_WWE in various ways mentioned in xda-dev forum. none of them could be finished this job.
so i had to refresh my rom to 1.60b, everything is OK now. I can override the wince.nls, import *.reg, set regional to PRChina and so on.
expecting a perfect WM2K5_160C supproting Simple Chinese.

WM5 CHS version SD image
Hi buzz:
I have got a SD image from a Himalaya which rom is CHS version, it's backup from a friend of mine. He got it from the seviece center. but when i use this image to flash my himalya, i replaced the SD head, write it to my SD card and flash...finished, hard reset, and I got an error like this:
"Device authentication failure. Please contact the product manufacture. For reference, please provide your device ID.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Then I found a way to convert the SD image to a .nbf file for the xda-developers site. converted and flashed using the PC through cable, but the same "Device authentication failure..." error occucred again.
And then, I asked my friend flash the SD image to his device which the image came from. succeeded
!
Any way to make the rom work for my device? help pls...

i just had hard reset my phone and didnt install all that At&t junk on it
but now i cant install windows media skins

cannot copy Thumbs: access denied
make sure your device has sufficant memory, that that file is not set as read only and that you have permission to copy this file type
what is happening?

I'm not completely clear on what you're trying to do or on what device. But, thumbs.db is a "hidden" Windows file. Don't copy that over. Then you won't get that error.
oh its the 8125
but what i did was hard reset and when the at&t cab was going to pop up i just soft reset and it didnt install it but im just trying to skin my 8125's wm player
try to use USB_to_HDD.cab instead of copying via activesync. It's much better
The file I'm trying to copy is ezinput.dll. Specifically, the version from my new Sprint Diamond Touch Pro.
I never had any problems copying files from ROM, but this one resists.
I tried using 1) Explorer via Activesync, 2) Resco Explorer (error: Cannot copy, Invalid parameter), 3) Total Commander (Cannot copy), 4) zipping the file (result is a 0 byte file), and stopping all the related services but results are the same.
Thinking that the dll is locked because it is loaded, I renamed all references of this file in the registry, reset, no joy.
Using Memmaid, I see that Services spawns many threads, and some of the et9 related dlls are started by it. Is this why I can't copy the file? If so, how do I keep Services from starting the .dlls?
The big questions are 1) Why can't I copy? and 2) How do I copy a file that resists copying?
Thanks.
question here is why do you want to copy the file, well i would like to know why lol
Have you got a rom update for the diamond rom you could extract the file from that, maybe it is protected ,which is why it cant be copied. Have you tried clicking copy in resco then just paste a copy back into the windows directory it will just rename it copy of ezinput.dll ,then maybe you will be able to copy that copy of the file?
Yes, I can extract the ROM (no update as far as I know) if I needed to, but I'm trying to avoid that.
I want to copy that file because the Touch Pro has slightly variations in its soft keybard that I would like to use.
I asked one of my developers, and he explains that the file is opened as "exclusive". I need to find a way to keep that file from running on startup. It's not running as a service, it's not in the startup, it's a registered .dll that is being called by another process.
Does WM6.x have a .dll cache?
There must be a way to copy this file... Help?
use total commander; works for me

As I indicated in the original post, TC did not work. If you have a Diamond/Touch Pro/WM6.x w/ HTC's soft-keyboard, I would like you to try to use TC to copy windows/ezinput.dll to another location. My guess is that it will NOT work.

ohh...i didnt read carefully enough, sorry.
Might be a way to see content of the flashdisk on the PC while in the erm...tricolor screen (i cant believe i dont remember the term at the moment x.x) - but then again, probably not.
Ok. I accidentally deleted a really good picture that I took off of my phone before I dumped my pictures on my hd, but it is still showing as my today screen background image. Where the hell is it on my phone? It's not here: WINDOWS\stBackImage.png, as on older versions.... please help.
http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/2296698/Where+is+the+Today+screen+background+picture+stored??t=anon
doesnt help
ok i have been searching all over for an answer for you and here is what i found at least on my phone. I installed mun background changer today so i dont know if you have that as well but you can try and see if things are the same. Using total commander go to windows directory then HomeBackground.img try that see if you have that file. If you do copy it and save it on your computer than access it because i cant access it from the phone. Here is what i did copied the file from the windows directory into my memory card using the phone then accessed the memory card from my computer renamed the file to .jpg because my computer could not open .img and it worked.
EDIT: yup that is it. I went ahead and installed mun background changer and everything softreseted uploaded a picture as my wall paper so i can recreate the same scenario you have and the file is located:
Windows/HomeBackground.img
ill try this and see if it works... thanks for your help
Tada.... it worked...
The file is right in the Windows directory.
Thanks so much.
You are the man, or woman, whichever.
hi f0lks.
i try to get the touch flo files copied manually to my phone, but for some of the files i couldnt remove the "read only" flag nor i couldnt delete em.
i work with TC and tried it by selecting files by mask and also by doin it for each single file.
everytime i reread the properties the flags are reset to "read only" this is the case for just 230files.
any hint would be really appreciated.
thank you
k0s
edit:
nope touch flo is not running, nor any other programs. i did reset the device and so on.
use total commander instead of file explorer
thanks,
i alread used TotalCommander (TC) but i guess you cant delete the files when you DIDNT sspl'ed your device.
i tried it on a clean one and didnt work.
i tried it after i updated the rom and it works now.

you cant delete anything from windows folder because files are in rom, you can just OVERWRITE them if they arent used by anything.
