My camera stopped working!

Not seen this anywhere before but I realised yesterday the camera had stopped functioning. Went into 'Button Config' to make sure it was assigned properly and discovered '<none>' next to the button command.
Some digging later I realised the entire function has disappeared from the machine! :shock:
Anyone know how to get it to work again - preferably without losing all my data? :?:
( I like emoticons me... )
Details:
Model: PH10B
ROM version: 1.52.00WWE, 10/23/03
Radio Version: 1.05.14

Oh my - 37 people read the request for help... but nobody was able to answer it!!
I've managed to work out that 'camera/exe' was one of the files deleted somehow... but I can't *see* how it was deleted *or* what other files I need to make it work?
Is there *really* nobody here who can help?? :shock:

if you do a search you'd see other people reporting their button assignments disappearing in a buff of logic
but i dont think people are missing the exe file in windows which manualy starts the camera
in the posts about the button asignment there are guides as to which reg keys you have to add to get it back

I did a search on 'button assignment' with various other terms such as camera and dismally failed to find anything that could help.
Also, I couldn't find the 'guides' of which you speak despite some serious digging about. Any ideas on where they might be hiding from me?
The camera still isn't working and I'm finding it a royal pain. I know it *will* work because I did a hard reset (just in case) and it worked fine until I restored my data via a backup.
I'll carry on looking for 'guides' and 'reg keys' and wait in the hope someone will be able to offer a lifeline :?

in \windows do you have an exe called camera.exe ?
if so does running it makes the camera work?
if not open your extentedrom and try running the camera cab file manualy to install the camera program

TMobile SDA (US) w/ WM6- Buttons not working!

Let me just begin by saying that you all are awesome. I am incredibly impressed you were able to get WM6 working on the Tornado. I have a TMobile SDA (USA). I used Andot's Perfect WM6 ROM to flash. I didn't have any problems other than a few spontaneous reboots after flashing the ROM. I do have a question though.
After flashing, I now cant get my T-Mobile button nor my review, play, and forward buttons(the ones that are on the same row) to work. I would like them to work with media player like they used to. I could give a rat's ass about the T-Mobile button, but it would be nice to be able to assign it or any of those other buttons to a specific function.
Is there a specific customization CAB I was supposed to install for the TMobile SDA (USA) to get those buttons working? How can I use or reassign those buttons?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello atarilynx,
I have your same phone, which is also identical to the sp5m.
go get phil's extras.zip from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1417372&postcount=4
and install the sp5m button fix cab
after that, you can to into wmp and assign the buttons to do their normal tasks.
also, after applying that fix, the t-zones button will open to an ie search page.

Many thanks...
Thanks a bunch...that works for me. You all rock!
Maybe one other question...when I imaged my phone, after it was done, it would reset about every few minutes. Sometimes I would try opening stuff, and it would seem to lock up, then reset.
Things seem to be ok now... I have not had it reset on me once after the first few hours. Did others have that experience too?

Neither of the phones that I've flashed have had that problem.
Both of them being TMob SDAs.
I have no clue why your phone was doing that, hope it got that out of it's system!

actually if you guys notice, it still doesnt work. you will try and configure the fastforward button, but when you try to hold it down, it only sees it as a press, not a hold.

true, the hold and seek feature is lost from those buttons, but you can still do that with the joystick if you must.
I personally have no problem with that as I hardly seek through songs.
something else is still tweaked though, on one of my sda's, i did the button fix then installed the tcpmp shortcuts from mobile.surrealnetworks.com/SDAapps.htm
now the buttons do not line up at all with what they are supposed to do. I think the "previous track" button becomes the play button and whatnot.
maybe phil can come up with a better sp5m fix
or, you know, someone else who actually knows what's going on.
I need to sit down some evening and really dig in and figure out what exactly these fix cabs are doing.

I think you need to find the attribute for WMplayer which is used for seeking forward or backward, then save it as Long_AP#.lnk where # is the button number

In the past, I have had poor luck with assigning a Long_AP command when there wasn't one already set for that button. Not sure if something needs to be added to the registry as well?
Otherwise, I would set long buttons for all sorts of apps :-/
Like, in Andot's rom, I love having the long home go to celetask.

Same, I tried to assign an attribute to long_ap, it did not work, why dont you copy the lnk files from AKU2 ROm ?

That is probably a good suggestion, tho, I still think there is probably more to it . . . I would try it out, but I'm moving in a couple days, and have priorities that must be attended to :-(

i think it has something to do with htcwmpplugin.dll, plus maybe sumthing to do with this registry i found it when i dumped the tmobile rom... and checked the rgu files
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\UIPlugins\{72F3E437-17E6-484E-9C96-13181D4039CB}]
"FriendlyName"="HTC Key Mapping UI Plug-in"
"Description"="HTC Key Mapping UI Plug-in"
"Capabilities"=dword:1
i havent tried most ,too lazy!!! hehehe!

as it has been explained in many posts in the past the htcwmpui plugin is for a homescreen wmp plugin and nothing to do with the buttons

oh ok sorry about that... will it have to do with keybddr.dll then?

What are you guys talking about "assigning attributes" to the long_ap#.lnk?
Are you talking about adding in a command line style switch to change the way the intended application will handle the shortcut?

actualy, i have followed these and othere forums for quite some time and i have yet to see if anyone has figured out how to get the media buttons working on roms were that feature does not come by default

Its not attribute, its parameter/arguments
Yes ! thats what we are talking about

I have created a cab file for the same. but the problem of using the htcwmpplugin is that the keys are mapped differently. the internet explorer key is mapped to the previous button and the play key becomes the previous key.. which is a problem.. that's why i want to know which keypad drivers are being used. The keypad drivers used for tornado music or imate sp5m is a little bit different.
Try using it..

i think i got it... i dumpeed the t-mobile rom took the keybddr.dll folder and incorporated it into andots ppe v6. i also removed the keybddr.dll had in it...
after building it...
i then i copied the sp5m zip files (those short_ap1-4 .lnks) to my windows folder, installed the cab tejasphatak gave here... then it all worked...

the keybddr.dll folder
here is the file incase you guys want it...

i copied the files, then installed the cab, but it's still as if i only installed the cab. the back/reverse buttons works as play and hte play button works as forward and etc...

How do I delete an undeletable registry key?

Installed NueLED and after finding out it doesn't work for me I got rid of it almost completely. The only thing I seem to have left behind is one registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Drivers/BuiltIn/nueLED which I'm unable to remove in both MemMaid and Resco Registry. I managed to remove every single item in that key and even tried to rename it, no cigar. Actually, instead of renaming the key it created a new key with a new name, which I cannot remove either. Strange stuff. The device works alright, but this thing just bugs me. WM6.

If you can't delete, then there is a reason! Perhaps you should leave it alone, before you possibly cause some damage. If it bugs you that much, just hard reset.

I also want to know that..and I'm so thankful that I'm here in this site.

Well, I just cannot think of any reason why I shouldn't be able to delete a key I myself created and therefore it's useless (now I'm talking abou tthe "renamed" one). As for the original NueLED key, it should be safe too as it's specifically mentioned in the NueLED thread as a part of manual uninstall procedure.

Uhg, im at wits end....

alright..i upgraded to opentouch 6 some time ago and realized that it was really awkward to use when i tried to use my paint program...it would scroll about the screen annoyingly. then i realized that there was a simple kinetic function that was added when i upgraded my rom. although a nice feature, is there a way to disable it? its so hard to draw when my work runs away from me after every flick of my stylus. XD
any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you very much!

1. This is the development sub forum. This is not a development question. This needs to be moved to the Herald section.
2. No. There isn't a way, per say, short of extracting the touch.dll from the default ROM, turning the module into a file and inserting it into the ROM.
3. OpenTouch 6 is an old ROM, but even with it, the scroll shouldn't be causing the problems you're describing as long as you draw with your finger tip, not with a wide area of your finger.

i dunno how to move stuff...just sayin..
well do you have any idea where i can find the original touch.dll from the factory settings for my htc wing?

You'll have to download the default RUU, then open the exe with a zipping program (like 7zip), then extract the NB out of the NBH. Then extract the files from the os.nb. Then convert the touch.dll from a module to a file. It's a relatively simple process, it just takes a while to do and requires some work.
Although, now that I think about it, if he makes his ROMs anything like I do, go to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings]
with a registry editor and change:
"EnableScroll"
from 1 to 0.
If you're not sure what a registry editor is, please read up on it. You don't want to mess with the registry unless you understand it. Search around and you'll see quite a bit of information for it.
I suggest using PHM Regedit or CeRegEditor.

it worked...thanks alot!

How to remove/change HD2 windows files

Hey, this question maybe was asked before, but couldn't find it any where. We can do a lot of tweeks with removing/ changing file in WM6.5 folder, but every time i try to do so it says "Acces denied". what i do wrong and what i need to do. your help and tips are welcome!
Blue skies...

Try Total Commander
For the language tweaks on this forum, and other stuff where you need to "overwrite" ROM files, use Total Commander.
It won't allow you hardcore stuff, but for many tricks advertised here it works.
Thinking of it, I wouldn't be able to come up with a good search term for this either. However, the threads with tricks do tell you to use TC.

thanks, but where do i use Total Comander? on PC or on HD2?? thanks again?
p.s. i wnated to change welcome screen to them nice girls on one of the theds and it didnt alow me!

Total Commander runs on the phone. It's basically a file explorer alternative that does a few other things, like registry editing, as well.
It allows you to overwrite read-only and system files that aren't in use.
You should have no problem replacing the startup images with it.

hey johncmolyneux, i see you are one of poor UK HD2 owners with skinned rom. i'll show up stupid again but where do i find TC on UK O2 rom. i had one on my touch pro but i just can't see one on HD2. maybe because O2 removed it? maybe you know link to download on for HD2? thanks in advance

don't worry, found it. anybody need it as weel it's freeware on
http://www.ghisler.com/smartphone.htm

Glad you sorted it. I just found it by googling.
Incidentally, I'm an O2 user, but my phone isn't an O2 one - I bought it SIM free. Also, Total Commander doesn't come on the standard ROM either, so you would have been looking for it regardless!
I didn't think O2 were doing anything to the phone. Have they skinned it then?

I've only played with the lockscreen myself, and I did that by copying the cpr file and the associated png files into the windows folder, and then just to be sure, I copied the cpr file into the \windows\lockscreen\ folder as well.
That worked for me.
As far as the start screen goes, I'd raise the problem in the thread that you got the screens from.
Good luck

hey, thanks, i just managed to do welcome screen, but still figthing with lock screen. could you please give link where i can find working lock screen files as ones i've got seems not working! thanks
