thanks in advnc....

ne one ?? :roll: no one ???????? :idea: :roll:

Perhaps you should look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12898.
There is a great program on there for converting pictures to .nb files and also a CAB which, when run, will change the boot images.
This does require putting the splash1.nb and splash2.nb files into the /windows/ directory before running MDA3_bootimage_changer2.CAB,
but if you want to just run a CAB file you can just edit that CAB and place your own created splash1.nb and splash2.nb files
in it with the location set as /windows/ (I tried it with WinCE CAB Manager and this way works as well).
I just tested it on XDA II and it works fine.
Hope this helps

JUST AWESOME !! THANKS ALOT MATE....

Advanced ext.rom config - del or move files from cmd line

Hi mates,
I'm currently modifying my ext.rom to install and configure every app I use, but also to configure windows itself. I managed to find a workaround for almost every issue I got, but I'm still stuck with one thing ^_^
Does anyone know a cmd-line tool to delete/move some files ?
So as I can include a batch in my extended rom installation, as I want my start menu re-organised.
Thank you for your answers !
niKo

I know copy and execute exe's but not delete or move, perhaps you could (if you program at all) write a very basic ppc app to move/delete the files and run that with extrom installation

I'm kind of a developper, but never tried myself to ppc world ^^
And.... I unfortunately miss time right now to learn that, so I would rather find a nice little .exe to do that for me
Thanks anyway !

After disassembling autorun.exe I found some interresting strings which would seem that besides the known commands:
Show
Exec
cab
copy1 and copy2 (copy&paste)
Lock
Reset
It could also delete, and some more usefull stuff:
Code:
(Ignore the "a"; its added by the disassembler)
aAutoruncfg 000160CC
aAutoruntype 00016618
aBkl1 000165F0

XML:
Is another command, usage, unknown
Hope these strings help you building your perfect extended Rom.
You could Write a testfile eg.: test.txt and test2.txt to your extended rom of your device (because this file stays during hard reset), make a config.txt only containing the line:
Code:
Forceremove: \Extended_ROM\test.txt
Delete: \Extended_ROM\test2.txt
Otherwise try:
Code:
Exec:\windows\DeleteFile.exe \Extended_ROM\test.txt ; <- this one most defenatly works!!!

French ROM - where is ZE good one !?

Hi to all
I have a diamond SFR FR
I try to use different rom's (BElite/TOM diamond v3.3 ..) so I have always the same pb I can' t use all fonctionality
For exemple I can't use vodafone to acces tv
Just to confirm I have install the Official Rom 1.37.163.4 FRE by Ssniper91
With this one I can use all fonctionality but it's very inconfortable to use it
not optimize .. pfff
I try to find the ultimate rom on this forum so there is to many post and information to configure each fonctionality ..
nobody can help me ?
It's impossible to have all information in one post
I know .. I dream !!

The ultimate rom for me is "DIAMOND PROJECT ROM Release V3.3 (5.2.20273)" very good job very speed and beautiful interface !!
I am looking for activate vodafone live to acces TV
Anabody have information on this subject ?

i was on orange rom (at least 5 min lol) and after testing all rom i chose the original HTC in french with some homemade tweaks.
indeed there is a lack of cooker for now... let's see in future.
btw i have the cab from my Orange rom to see TV but it doesnt work on my HTC rom, but i have tweaked Opera to see orange TV... is someone help me to proper work this cab?

I think it's possible to activate on any rom the access of vodafone ..
I am looking on the web so many restriction on my web staf access
In the idea we need a special .cab to activate this access
and/or a modification of key of registry and a great copy of the file opera.ini with the good configuration
If I find a metode to activate vodafone access I post the solution !!
)

I would like to install on my diamond "PHM Registry Editor"
So I have basic question
In this archive we have a lot of file.cab
I find the correspondance with the processor so my diamond have a UALCOMM(R) processor so what cba file must be copying to my diamond ARM / MIPS / SH3 / SH4 ??
I don't know what is the correspondance ?

About "PHM Registry Editor"
I have installed "regedit.Rpr_ARM.CAB"
I confirm it's OK
I have application in \apps
I think it's ok
Anaybody confirm if I have install the good CAB !??
;-))

No problem, the Arm version is the good one
So that's the good CAB

News of front !!
I recover 2 files :
> opera6.adr
> opera.ini
Copy them to "\windows\opera9"
I have acces vodafone live portail
So when I execute TV I have error [H107]
Anybody have an idea ?

I've tried every Bepe's rom, and Diamond project 3,2 and 3.3.
The best ? For me, the last bepe 0.99dx, more stable, faster than anyone, and really translate, with real t9...

diamond project 3.3 for me
just think to put french in the regional parameter to have an azerty keyboard and it runs perfect
bepe is a good one too
taste and colors

Opera files

Hello electronlib !
can you post a copy of your files opera6.adr and opera.ini?
With mine I can not access the portal vodafone.
(I'm at Swisscom (partner vodafone as SFR). SFR and Swisscom are also partners. The configuration should look like.
Thank you!

HI
Here is the opera.ini file : http://rapidshare.com/files/138609279/opera.ini.html
Just copy it into /windows/opera9 folder through an activesync connection.
The Vodafone portal will work perfectly. I don't know about TV.

A guide for Brazilian people who wants to install WM6.1

First of all, let me say that so far, there is no Portuguese-Brazilian version of Wm6.1 for the HTC S-621 and maybe this will never exist at all…
If you are new to ROM Upgrading, you MUST read this! - PDF file - 2,5 mb + - (pages 1 to 11 only - keyboard issues are treated here)
That said, let´s cover the main issues you may have (at least the ones I faced) when upgrading to 6.1 for brazilian people.
Before we get started, let me tell you that I´ve tried all 4 flavors of roms available (so far) in this forum (in chronological order, i guess):
1 - Kavana
2 - Kavana remade by Rickwatt
3 - NGR Rose Rom
4 - NGR Rose Rom remade by Ricky and Stylez
And the best one that fits in my S621 (when you talk about funcionality and the little amount of trouble) is the second one (Kavana remade by Rickywatt) in this thread:
CLICK HERE to get Kavana remade by Rickywatt
With all other ROM´s i had some irritating issues, like CAP key nonresponding, comm manager not opening when you click on it, dialing “0” (zero) and getting TAB instead, typing “£” sign instead of “ç” and so on….
The very first change you MUST do is changing emergency number (911 does not work in Brazil – 190 does). All other changes but this one can be postponed, once you are dealing with life!
In order to do that:
Goto START – ALL PROGRAMS – MYTOOLS – REGISTRY EDITOR
Find these Regkeys:
HLM/Security/ECall
Scroll Down to LIST, press Center Button and change the “911” number to “190” (wich is the emergency call here in Brazil) – Confirm Change.
Find
HLM/Security/EcallWithoutSIM
Scroll Down to LIST, press Center Button and add “190” number. Press Done, Confirm change and repeat steps with:
HLM/Security/ECallWithSIM
Add “190” to it the same way.
DO NOT softreset the device yet (it´s necessary for changes to take effect)... there are other changes to do before softreset (Just to not waste time resetting it several times).
Needless to say that by doing this, you´re setting your phone to dial 190 (the emergency number here in Brazil – Remember, this guide is for brazilian people) even if keypad is locked.
______________________________________________________
Now let´s change some regional settings to best fit our needs here in Brazil.
Goto START – SETTINGS – CLOCK AND ALARM – DATE AND TIME.
Change TIME ZONE from London,Dublin (mine is at it – Who Knows why?) to GMT -3 Brasilia. At this point, you are able to change clock top to 24 hour format (I prefer) by changing values on CLOCK ON TOPBAR item (this step is optional)
Yet in settings, goto REGIONAL SETTINGS and change LOCALE to PORTUGUESE-BRAZIL. Press Done then OK.
Remember DO NOT soft reset yet.
Click done twice.
____________________________________________________
Let´s fix keyboard issues
Download Attached file to your PC to set up keyboard.
Is it done? Cool... now let´s do the trick: Goto START – ALL PROGRAMS – TEXT NOTES and click NEW to create a new one. DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING YET! Press FN + SPACE Keys to bring the language menu. Navigate to LANGUAGE (3) Choose PORTUGUESE (8). At this point, try typing a single letter, like the “a” character. You´ll notice that the XT9 dictionary will suggest you to use “a à á â ã” (for those out of Brazil, we use this special symbols very often). This is the predictive text working as it should be in all other ROM´s, but unfortunately, things are not as it were supposed to be.
Let´s go on...
Try pressing FN key and type the “J” letter... You´ll get an £ (Libra) sign instead. Type FN key again and type the “K” letter…. You´ll get an $ (Dollar) sign. It´s wrong… at least in my keypad, if you press “J”, “K” or “L” with FN, you should get the “ç”, “º” and “ª” signs.
Nevermind… let´s fix this…
Done with your annoying “ HEY! this is not the key i wanted to show up” thing? Ok. Now you can discard the note (press MENU button and choose CANCEL).
Remember the “eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt” file attached here? Did you got it? Put it in your mobile´s Windows folder, replacing the existing one. Your keyboard is fixed now, but do not test it yet, because it needs a reboot to apply changes.
________________________________________________________
NOW is the time for the first soft reset. Press IE key (this will bring Celetask) goto MENU – UTILITIES – REBOOT – confirm and wait.
Get back to text notes (START – ALL PROGRAMS – TEXT NOTES and click NEW to create a new one), and try typing something, like “jo”. You´ll notice that the XT9 Dictionary is giving you some options, like “jô jogo José jogos jogadores jornal”. It means the dictionary is working properly, as it should be in all other roms, but unfortunately, it only works in Kavana´s remade by Rickwatt. God knows why!
Now, try to type any vowel (a e i o u). Let´s take “e” for example. The XT9 give you some options like: “e é ê”. You see? Again, it´s the predictive text working as it SHOULD be in ALL other ROM´S...
Let´s try one last word... type “versao". It Will give you the option to use “versao versão”. (Just for your knowledge us-citizens, versão means version).
Ok? Done? Are we even? Now, let´s make it more confortable to use...

Some will say: “Hey, there is a Free RAM utility already built into the ROM!” or “Hey, there is CELETASK that does this trick!”.
Ok... I agree... I totally agree and I surrender. Use it! You done? Now, go to main screen and try to go to Comm Manager... close it using celetask. Try to open it again…Could you? Me neither. It´s a very common and strange bug among alternative ROM´s.
Oxios memory does the trick without this issue!
Whenever you want to free up some RAM (and speeding up your smartphone as a consequence) use Oxios Memory (the icon is a skull with a black hat and a red stripe on top of the hat). It´s completely harmless and best of all – free and works!
That´s it… Rom developers, I hope you see this topic and try to help us here in Brazil by including at least the keyboard layout and the predictive text in your future rom´s.
I´m waiting for comments, thanks! I also hope to help other people in trouble, like I once was.

Sorry guys... i forgot to upload file...

Joeskull
Thank you very much!!

Very nice topic... it helps a lot.
I still have some troubles: how do you change the IE key to open internet explorer instead of celetask?
I'm using WM 6.1 by kavana but i don't think it was remade by anyone... i've downloaded you file but there is no portuguese option when i press fn + space. Do you have a any idea y?
And finally, have u downloaded any cab file to install the portuguese keyboard layout after installing your WM version?
Thanks in advance

I don´t know how to change IE key to open IE, maybe some registry tweak, try search this forum... IE sucks a lot and I don´t care at all. Even when I was running the original WM6.0 from Vivo, I never used that key, so I really don´t care at all.
In the beginning of this thread, you may have noticed that there is a link to "KAVANA REMADE BY RICKYWATT" right on top of the post, so, it WAS remade by "anyone" (in this case, Rickywatt - Thanks, Rickywatt). Kavana was the first one, then came the others with improvements.
And as you may already know (because I assume you did read this thread entirely), this is the only ROM that I had no several issues with keyboard. All others were trouble and a pain in the * to fix keyboard. That´s why I gave up all others and stayed with Rickywatt.
If there is no portuguese option when you press fn + space, maybe it´s because it´s not Rickywatt´s ROM.
Please, download Rickywatt´s and try again the instructions I posted here. As I was making this guide, I was doing it in real time just to be sure it´s accurate. I did it three times in my device and three other times in different devices (I mean, the same HTC-S621 from different people). So, if you apply them step-by-step as I posted here, you´ll see things are gonna work properly.
And finally, I haven´t downloaded any CAB to make keyboard work properly. Almost everything was already built in Rickywatt´s ROM, I just made some adjustments in the TXT file posted here. As I said, install KAVANA REMADE BY RICKYWATT and follow my instructions here and you´re good to go.
Thanks

Hi buddy,
first: thanks for the tutorial!
second: I have a S60 BT, but I couldn't installed any rom. Every time I get a "corrupted rom" message. Have you ever seem this? I've read something that my phone could be blocked and that would be the reason.
I've tried to used that unlock from Rick, but didn't work. Do you have any more tip?
Thanks a lot man!

Try Google... Take a look @ this or this.
It's a very common error and easily fixed just by getting attention when upgrading ROM. There are SEVERAL topics about it. Use the search tool.

First of all, copy the txt file anywhere on your device using your pc.
Now, in your device, use Resco Explorer to copy (and overwrite) this file in the Windows folder. Restart and you´re done.
Regards.

No one in Portugues Brasil yet?
Nenhuma versao 6.1 em portugues ainda?
We all brazilian guys here could ask these guys who do this modifieds roms how to translate or offer our help to translate something to our native language! If anyone here have contact with this guys and would like to help. I coud help!

Hi @all,
I've donwloaded the manila kitchen and also the current release of the manila package.
Now I want to write a new Tab and have some big problems with that. I hope you can help.
1st I've thought about looking into existing code (eg Twitter Tab). There I've my first problem. They use a script file called machine_status_svc, CLuaTweetList_svc and CLuaTweetEdit_svc (used in "5518259a_manila" or "twitterutil.luac"). They also use a function called CLuaTweetList_Instance() and I think which is included in CLuaTweetList_svc.
Now my problem: I can't find these files. Can anybody help?
2nd I've check the registry on my mobile and found the key HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HTCService. There are some dll files registered. I think they will work as background service during the manila is running. Now I want to write this kind of service too.
So does anybody know how these dll file have to be implemented? which procedures/functions are required and which aparameters etc?
I still have som other questions, but maybe I can solve them if I've got a reply to these at first.
I'm sorry but I don't find anything in the web about there questions.
I hope for your help! - Thanks!

Does maybe anybody know if HTC is providing these information?
If yes does anybody maybe also know a direct contact address (e-Mail) to get it?
Thanks :'(
