Hi all,
Ive read most posts regarding Twitter issues and think I have a new one.
Yesterday my Twitter crashed (and restarted sense) while updating, now it does not even load up through the sense tab. Ive checked in the Windows dir and some of files are there (png,qtc), in window\htc the twitter folder is empty, and also the icon has disappeared from the start menu. I assume that the program has deleted itself from my hd2 in the process. Now for my questions:
Does anyone have the program files for htc twitter (I understand that there is no CAB) that I could copy back into my windows or prog files dir?
Is there any other way to get it back without doing a hard-reset?
If none of the above work can anyone recommend a prog better than either motweets or Pocketwit.
Cheers for any help on this,

You could also hard reset but that is not what you want to hear, what rom are you running? no doubt that will be needed for the right files

Morning / Afternoon / Evening to All,
Not to be critical of this wonderful website which is full of great resources but, I have noticed that the useful info is hard to find.
So I thought it might be a good idea to post all of my items in the one place so here goes.
I will update these as i go.
TIP
If you want the CAB Files in remain in your PPC after install simply change the files preferences to "Read Only"
since i was just upgrade from wallaby to magician, i found all your posting, instructions and cab files very very helpful thanks a lot ampda, you rules :!:
Hello ampda , Great Work Friend . . . many thanx for these cabs and instruction files.
Cheers for taking the time to make them for the rest of us noobs
Glad to Help
verry nice indeed but there are simpler ways of doing the discribed below
(copied this out of pdf file )
3. Copying your “Extended ROM” Files before Big Storage
You need to copy the files from your “Extended ROM” before you go the Big Storage as you will need to install some of them after you’re finished, i.e. MMS etc. They will be deleted after the upgrade (and that’s the whole point).
a. To copy them from your Magician do a hard reset (push the power button and reset button at the same time).
b. Go through the screen alignment, time zone etc and get ready…….. when you reach the “Completed” screen it will ask you to “Tap your screen…. As soon as you tap the screen you get 3 sec to soft reset (push the reset button). If you miss it as I did just do a hard reset and try again.
c. After you do b. above go to the built in file explorer and under “My Device” you will now see the treasured “Extended_ROM” with all its files. Copy the directory straight to your SD Card then to your PC, keep them safe.
its just a bit easyer when you just fill in
go to windows folder on PPC and search loadvdisk.exe
run it and you will see your ext_rom (until you reset )
not to sure the usual file explorer can do this but Resco file explorer will find it
another progie that can find it is total commander :

Hi!!
Thanks for all your help!
Does anyone konw, or is there a way to save to the pc the SMS messages both received and sent??
Cheers!
use jeyo mobile companion. u can backup all of your messages, contacts (phone and sim), etc.
Hi!
Thanks for the tip!
By the way, and i think these questions are more tricky, is there any way NOT to charge the battery while the phone is connected to the USB?
And while using the calling software, when inputing the nunbers, to make the sim card entries dissapear and only have the ones that are in the contacts? Because most of the times i have a double entry and it really makes me mad!
Thanks!
The way to NOT to charge the battarie is to make some changes to your cable - cut +5v from USB (or make a switch).
the tray launch only app.... theres now way to BROWSE for the program you want on the tray?
sucks that you have to type out the entire path just to get it
Any idea whether these (or more specifically the camera speckles change) will work on a Wizard?
Remove Camera
Noob question here.
Once i install the camera & album to Storage how do i delete it from the \windows . Maybe not possible due to it being in ROM. In this case I end up with 2 camera software? So i'm curious what is the idea of installing in storage.
Halo ampda, i tryin to follow your how_to_ppc_upgrade.pdf buat I stuck in the step 4 backing up your existing rom to PC, in romupdate.exe I still confuse about the PORT things. can you help me to, which one to use?
please help...
thanks
Thanks for nice posting AMPDA..
I have a question,
I installed ampda_CameraV2.7b21026_RAM.CAB
but my camera version was 2.70 (build 18727) and it is still the same. I reset the device but still didnt become build 2026.
Do you have an idea?

Hi Lupusic,
Thanks a lot for your kind offer. I manage to pull up the files from the FTP using cuteFTP software. Some how my company laptop doesn't allow default browser connection....
My phone is O2 mini and has v.1.13 for both rom & radio. I think it's BigStorage (not sure though).
Any good advice for me? I mean anything at all....
Thx again

Guys, I'm not able to run Boot Image Tool. It gives me this error
Component 'mscomctl.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid
Any idea?
Thx....
Hi AMPDA,
Thanks for all your postings on big storage which gives detailed instructions step-by-step. Very brief and consise. Also now I notice you have put everything into 1 place like a table for pick and choose. Can it get any better ? Can't ask for anything more. You have so many useful cabs and instructions. I have benefitte a great deal. ONCE AGAIN Thank You.
Hey All, I'm very excited here , my new 8125 will be in my hands Wednesday. The first thing I would like to find is a weather program to install. I use xWeather on my Treo 650, it gives me nice radar views. I would love to have something like that for my 8125. I wonder, can I try loading the Treo 650 program on the 8125 or is that a No No. So ware do I go to find down loadable programs for my 8125. I go to mytreo.net for tons of free stuff and trial programs for the 650, is there a place like that to go for my new 8125? Watch ya say guys? Thanks...
As far as Weather Programs -- there's WeatherPanel by Marsware, Spb Weather, and Sbsh Pocket Weather that I'm aware of.
As far as other apps -- go to Handango, Pocketgear, Freewareppc, or pocketpcfreewares. Or, just do a google search for "PPC APPS".
Another suggestion is to mosey over to the Cingular Customer Forums and do a forum search for "8125 apps" to see what kinds of programs some of us are running on our 8125's.
Thanks newbie2 for all the info. I went to all that you mentioned and did the google search and found lots more; way cool ! I like very much the Marsware WeatherPanel also, I will put that in the new 8125 first thing and for 12 bucks I will buy it also. I sure hope my new 8125 comes with a data transfer cable or I will be bummed out big tme. LOL

It comes with the USB sync cable to connect to your computer to sync AND for downloads -- so, you're all set!!
Thanks for the info on what the unit comes with, that's a relief!! I set up folders and book marks for all this new stuff so I'm all ready. I been waiting for Fed-X, my package is out for delivery. I down loaded Weatherpanel and am ready to install that also. I'm used to getting stuff for my Treo 650 and having to install .prc files for programs. It was interesting to see that the weatherpanel has a .exe extension and it seems as though programs for the 8125 mda set up as if you are doing regular computer installs; hence the name Pocket PC. This is neet stuff... Now ware is that truck..........
New 8125 came in yesterday, I am loving it. I stayed up late to get it set up the way I want and all is fine, everything from syncing to E-Mail to Wifi is all done. My 1Gb sd card will arrive Friday then I will install Weatherpanel, with that install I guess I just use the explore from the hot sync manager and put the program in a folder and just double click the .exe file. I'm really not sure how to install programs yet to the phone, any info would be great. I use 4 E-Mail addresses and having to switch between each one to check them all is a pain. With my Treo 650 I used Snapper Mail and it checked all accounts one after another automaticaly. Is there an E-Mail program for my 8125 that will work the way Snapper Mail does? I looked briefly for Snapper Mail for Pocket PC's but still no luck. Again any info is appreciated. Thanks All....
For an .exe install, you want to install from the desktop through ActiveSync. Just double-click the program's install icon -- the installation will start on your desktop and go through the ActiveSync connection to install to your phone.
To install a .cab file, drag and drop ( or copy and paste) to your phone through Active Sync ( I ususally put .cab files onto the SD card). Then just navigate to it on the phone through File Explorer, tap on the file and it will begin the install process.
If your SD card is in your phone, you'll be asked at the beginning of the install process whether you want the program installed to the device or storage card. Just make your choice, click "install" and the installer will do the rest.
Sorry -- don't know about any programs for multiple email accounts. It's all I can do to keep up with just ONE!!
yes you can run Palm OS 5.2 (or older) on your PPC!

hello everyone, long time member of howardforums and just joined xda and find some very usefull info, thank you all. i ran into a small problem last night. i have a tilt , not flashed but i have installed the htc home screen and everything worked great. last night i tryed to install the touchflo program found in a few places in this forum and it didn't work but thats when the interesting stuff happen....after deleting all touchflo cab files and restarting the tilt every time at startup it gives me a warning " FTouchFlo.exe cannot be open, its either not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components can not be found. try reinstalling or restoring file." ????? and now the icon that used to be under the clock for favorite people that would send me their pics so i can just one touch dial is GONE? tryed installing the cab for the htc homescreen again but the same....there is a music short cut that lets me launch the music player that wasn't there before? i downloaded the htc home plugin customisor and even when i set for 6 icons on the bottom of the clock it still just gives me 5?
at the end of the day i would like to have the touchflo program but its not a big deal if i dont, i would however really like to have the pic dialer back on my screen as its really convinient to dial my fav people with it.thanks in advance

Keys are in the registry. To access and change the registry you need a registry viewer/editor. There are many but for simple "everyday" use this is a good one:

Be careful though delete the wrong things and you'll end up needing a hard reset.

PHM downloads as a .MSI windows installer. So it will not install properly unless you have your device connected via active sync when you run the downloaded file. So connect your device via usb cable. Let active sync connect and update. Then while still connected run the installer download. During the process a message will pop up on your device. If a choice is offered it will be ok to install to storage card if you have one.
Cheers for now.

thanks guys , can anyone tell me how to delete .exe files? i still get warnings at start up that touchflo.exe and bio-something-.exe can not run because some files are missing.....thanks
Hey everyone. I'm new here, and I'm hoping you all can help me.
I just upgraded to WM6, and I'm having difficulties personalizing a few things. On WM5 I used to make complete custom skins for the phone and the today screen. Complete with custom buttons for the phone that changed colors when you pressed them. Now that I "upgraded" (HA!) to WM6, it says I'm not allowed to change those bitmaps to ones of my own!
I've read thread after thread, and found a few that said something about Total Commander letting you change the files, but I just couldn't get that to work either.
Does anyone have an answer for this? I would be forever grateful.
Thanks.
Michael
Have you tried to soft reset and then changing file if not they maybe rename the old file and copy the new file. I suggest first to soft reset and before opening any other app replace your files.
Yeah, I have actually tried that, but it won't let me rename the file. I can highlight the name, but it won't change.
I'm thinking about trying to just go back to WM5, is that possible?
To revert back you would just need a wm5 rom. What files are you trying to replace...maybe I can help.
Thanks, I would really appreciate that.

They're in the "windows" folder.
I've tried using Total Commander, and the other was SDA Application Unlock. Maybe I just don't know how to go about using those programs in the correct manner.
I tried to replace these files and I was successful. What I did was use task manager to close as many processes as possible and then through my Windows Explorer replaced the files. If the system does not allow you to change something it's only because it is in use. Try closing as many processes as you can it should work. Once finished soft reset your device and you should be good to go. I replace many of these files myself so if you can't it must be something that is using the file.
Ok, I tried what you said, but I kept getting errors for apparrently end the wrong processes. I'm not too computer saavy, so who knows what I was turning off. Any Idea what programs might have been using them? Should I take a screenshot of my list of processes for you to please check out for me?
Place a screen shot here of your processes after doing a soft reset and I might be able to tell you which to close.
Ok, here's what I got going on... Thanks again, I REALLY appreciate it!

That looks like the processes from windows not the phone.
oooooohhhhh, ok! How do I get into that on the phone? I'll go check the forums to see if I can figure it out...
Was wondering if someone can tell me which file contains the IE plugin used by apps like Pocket Wikipedia. Ever since PIE6(WM6.1), its not working correctly. I know it has nothing to do with IE executable, n I also tried replacing some dlls I saw Pocket Wikipedia using, without any luck. What did work was restoring an old backup of a WM6 setup I'd made via spb clone onto the new WM6.1 setup. The restore got stuck in the middle where it was unable to restore registry entries, but it did restore software n even the IE plugin . The end result, as far as I could see was all WM6.1 other than the IE plugin. Now am using WM6.5 and I kinda like the new IE... so dont want to risk it again. Is there a way to simply replace the plugin file?
