baring in mind every think is htc is like a picture, could you not look on the windoes files, find out which picture is which and then just copy edit and replace.
cause looking at htc message is boring, and i reckon if i could find the background image i could change it... if everyones following so far?
is this possible or am i confused?
yep, something like that. Except everything is inside the .manilla files , so you need to open the right manilla file and replace the image there. Look at cooking instructions, it should be explained there (I'm pretty green in that area, but that image replacing I found to be easy).
I don't know if there is a list of what each manilla file includes, so you probably need to check each file for the image you are looking for.
i tryed copying the files from windows to my sd card but it kept failing, i used to have a k800i and i had this program which was like a virtual phone, everything was clickable and when you click it you could change it to whatever you wanted then copy the files to the phone... does anyone know anything like this for htc.
do you know how to access the htc phone memory on computer it would make this process so much easier

thanks
better yet, can i use the initflashfiles.txt to put files other then in \windows\...

"why spend time learning when ignorance is instantanious?"
It defeats the object of having them in the ROM
as soon as you use initflashfiles to move a file it takes up room in the storage memory. make the lnk's link to the /windows/ dir instead

If you just cut straight to the last paragraph in the post above , he is right.
You are best trying to keep everything in \windows to prevent duplication of files as it copies rather than moves them over.
My fault i should have been more clear
I cant use the EXT-ROM as this program requires user input, so forget that idea.
now i have gotten the program to sit inside the \windows\ folder correctly but now i need 1 last step, i need to have a folder w/files inside transfered as well. Its a theme folder!
Example OEM folder:
program.exe
\Themes\
It copies the program and i use initflashfiles.txt to make a menu shortcut works fine ,but when building the ROM it freezes on the Theme folder. Ok so you cant have a folders w/subdir and files.
Now what should i do? i made OEM folder have all files inside but i need the themes folder to be XFER'd to \Windows\Themes\
or is there a solid command or a config file i can write to make adjustments to create/copy/move files and folders?

you know i have seen you react like this a few times on the forum, stop being so damn annoying to everyone here, really STOP. i asked a question and revised it as it was written bad, but EVEN as that you should learn how to talk to people.
do you have anything positive to bring to this thread ? if not just move along!
Easy guys, easy.... tempers often fray, it's not worth taking things personally

With my wisbar advance, i've got the theme on my sd card and I put the config.ini file with the settings in the oem. Hence WA in \windows, theme on sd card.
You cannot move things from rom to another directory, only copy them.

erm, i awnsered your question if you read my post, dumbass.
no really i saw it...
i am just telling you i don't care for you attitude that you dish out and to others as well. you could try being nicer...
ever do a search on your post and read how arrogant you are? you should try it. If thats your example of helping someone... you need to rethink things.
To be honest i was hoping someone of your caliber would come here and offer help, but that doesn't mean you get to talk to people as you like because you ..." Know More "
Its expected that you know more when we post "[Help]" in the title. That's correct we EXPECT someone with more knowledge to help, not abuse people.
Thanks.... NO really thanks for the help
I think grayme or MIDGET are more than nice, because it looks like U've never been working on ROM at first, at second YOU DIDNT use search button(that fuc.. button 9th on top) Im not a god like midged or helmi, but at least before u post something like this, try to read.Why mess this forum

I did search for the how to copy a folder w/files using the initflashfiles.txt as was not able to find any information, hence the post.
Helmi has nothing to do with this so don't throw his name around. And midget has run to this issue with a few users on this forum lately. Yea i read those too.
And i don't care if he can breathe underwater, fact is just because you answer somebody doesnt mean you get to talk to people like trash.

gotcha ya, i was hoping for a way around this as the only other issue i have is a *.rgu file which set a string in the CURRENT_USER area but for some reason it fails to build on that specific RGU which is the registration for wisbar.
besides that everything is working smooth
here is a preview of the default look which i helped a great skinning artist (Dingo) make into a great wisbar skin, the new version has sounds that are awesome
here is a preview,
Just FYI, MOST of my posts are helpful and 'nice'
I dont have to be here answering your q's so im sorry, but you have to expect an answer that reflects the mood im in atm... if you dont like it i wont answer your q's next time. it's nothing personal!
try 2 read 1st helmi kitchen wm6 post, there is explained ho 2 use initflashes if U use his kitchen if U use another try 2 read apropriate howtos. BTW dont use initflashes.dat if u can bypas it(it makes a copy from ROM to Storage - so there are files ocupiing both space in ROM and in Storage - redundant) btw there is package for wisbar for helmis kitchen

This is the point that, until I made a kitchen ROM, I wasn't aware of; did I (and 1wayjonny and others) miss it?
Ranting and raving at people that don't know what you do is not moving things forward, this isn't a simple, 'how I instal ROM?' (sic) question...
I dont know why but i renamed a file with ALL of my files and mods, cabs, etc in this folder and now it renamed itself to the 'square' symbol.. meaning it doesnt know what the symbol is..
here is a vid
how do i fix this???
From the looks of the reaction, there's a chance that maybe something screwed with your keyboard as well and added some extra character in there? otherwise, it's like a flash memory corruption case where you have to do a full reformat of the system.
One of the veteran winmo users should have a better answer than I do, but that's what it looks like to me.
ya.. except i shouldnt have to format everything else because every other folder and file on the drive is accessible..
i hope to god someone will have the right answer...
(thanks a bunch though mputtr)
try renaming the folder on your computer connect the phone to your computer and access the storage card and try renaming it there. or creating a new "mods" folder and transferring everything to that. Can you access the folder?
i can access the folder but whats inside is blank, it shows nothing.
and ill try the computer thing but i doubt itll work..
this really sucks,,, its two whole months of collecting things that i really dont want to lose... i know we can solve this problem.. should i contact microsoft??
+1 for memory card corruption
Have you tried to check disk it?
whats that?
checkdisk is a software that you can run from your PC that does a full check up on the drive to see if there is any corruption. I do not know if you can target specific drives, but I assume if TehPenguin suggests it, then it would probably be targettable. do a search on your system for chkdsk.exe. Good luck.
it looks like you might have possibly encrypted your storage card, did you encrypt it and do a hard reset or software update?
Firstly apologies for the noob question, I'm still very new to this WinMo stuff. And secondly I've searched about the forum all day but still having problems....
I've just got an HD2 and wanting to put some of the tweaks on it I've found via this site. When downloaded on my PC I'm faced with 4 or so files, two or three perhaps starting with a 'cab' file name and the other a reg or set up file. Basically what do I then do with these files? With the phone conected via USB I went into the deice memory and dropped all the files into the memory, did a soft reset, but nothing happened, no extra feature etc. Phone just started up as normal. Sorry for my 'thickness' lol. Would welcome any advice or a pointer to somewhere where it may be already written.
Thanks.
Do not unzip the .cab place on phone and browse phone with File Explorer, click on the .cab and install to Device....
It's a common noob mistake as .cab's are compressed archives so look like .zips on computer....
Thanks for the quick reply, I'll give that a go....
after dropping them on the device you have to run them. Open File Explorer and just launch them from there. A setup will be launched usually.
Thanks for the above advice, worked a treat.
Well I've had no problem putting cab files onto my HD2, however now I want to remove a few of them. Not sure how to remove the actual thing that I've changed??? I go into the device memory and I can delete the cab itself but the 'change' still remains, such as new task bar icons etc.
Any help appreciated....
settings -> add remove programs
just like on a computer
Oh yes of course, makes sense now. Many thanks
I have a lot of old redundant data on my SD card. If I have an app installed to SD, when uninstalling it sometimes it leaves the SD data behind. Also, everything on my SD card is as it was on my old desire, I simply put it into my sensation when I upgraded. And I've now rooted and tried various ROMs over the past half a year. So safe to say there's a lot of redundant data on it taking up room.
The thing is, it's not straight forward knowing what's actually used or not, so is there a trick or an app that can help identify which files or data haven't been accessed in ages, suggesting it's redundant?
I use es file explorer, its great because you can look into the folders and see what is actually there . I just cleaned mine out yesterday and found most folders are clearly marked so its not to much of an issue. If there was a folder I did not recognise I looked into contents if I still did not recognise I left it alone. Most folders were easily recognized. Hope this helps

That's just it, I have plenty that I don't recognise, so I'm not sure if they're still needed or not.
Yes I understand you don't want to delete a needed file. For me when I actually opened the folders I was able to see what was inside then took it from there. Hard part for you is finding the old phone files from the new ones. I wish I could be of more help but if your not recognizing the files when opened it makes it really hard. My old application files were clearly labeled so it made my clean out really easy. Perhaps you can find a clue inside to let you know if it was from the old phone or not. Mine was pretty straight forward, I see where yours is much more difficult. Hopefully someone has a better solution for you. I do wish you the best. Sorry I don't have a better answer than looking into the files themself . It worked for me because I was able to recognize my folders. Good luck, I'm sure someone will have a solution.

No problem, thanks anyway.
Most of the folders in the root of the SD card are fairly obvious in most cases. For the ones I'm not sure about I try and Google 'What is (insert folder name)' Android.
The ones in the root will usually be named by the app or publisher name so that helps give a clue.
In the Android/Data folder there will likely be some rubbish. Best thing to do with the folders there is Google them if unsure as they'll usually be named after the APK that they came from.
My SD is fairly clean so I don't have many examples to give unfortunately.
Looking for a simple small windows program that will simply show correct icons for .apk's on my PC
I set a default .ico for all my apk's but something showing the correct .ico for apk's would be great.
Is there one available?
Thanks to anyone replying.
There's got to be something??? anyone?
I remember when I played around with a Nintendo DS I found some type of shell extension that would show .nds games icons...
Was really hoping this was out there for .apk's
Really....no one can answer me on this subject....ugh
Either its a dumbass question and the asnwer is so simple anyone reading it just pass's it up, or noone is understanding my subject...OR theres nothing out for pc to do this...maybe i should make something?
Anything guys...**** give me an answer....even a "hey ceaser shut the **** up" would be somthing
Im talking to myself in this thread

Not anymore, i might have a solution for you
first get the image you want to use as an icon and resize it to be EXACTLY 256x256 and in .ico format
then click run in start menu and type regedit
allow UAC if needed
make backup of registry
if you want to just change the icon to know what it is, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk
if it isnt there, right click on the folder and create new key called .apk
check if the (default) entry is blank, if so, then create a new key in the same place as .apk and call it something.Assoc.APK (not tested)
in the new key, create a key called DefaultIcon, and in that create a REG_EXPAND_SZ and put the full path in quotes of the .ico file
tell me if it doesnt work and include screenshots
Thanks for the reply...whats I actually ended up doing is making an .ico of a droid and basically setting the file extension within windows to use that ico with any apk...thanks for the info above though
