How to know files to be modified

Dears
I want to cook a ROM for my Prophet (Jamin)
I want to delete some programs that I don't need from AKU Aserg 3.13 and Add some programs that I use them
So I download tools for cooking rom and extract the ROM to my PC...
But I don't know how can I determine the files for a program That i want to delete or ADD from ROM.
for example I want to delete Total Commander from my ROM and ADD Resco Explorer 2007 !
But I don't know which Files and DLL files are related to Total Coammander , and I have an EXE file or CAB file for Resco Explorer how can i put Resco Explorer or other program to my ROM?
Thanks for helping me.

Couple of notes:
1) There is a free tool called "Dependency walker" which will show you what DLL files a certain exe is linked to.
2) There are several apps that can unpack a cab file, some free some not just google for them.
You will have 2 problems with Resco explorer:
a) If the cab contains a setup.dll you would need to find out what that does and replicate its function or the installation will not be complete.
b) This is a commercial program so you need to find out how its registration is stored (which is not easy) and add the registration manually.

There's a tool call ssnap (system snap?) to take a snap shoot of yr PDA (registry, file systems). Then use a diff tool (beyond compare is very good but not free) to compare the before and after install (and register)

Thanks u for good helping.
we know that the programs in te ROMs is not sufficient so we install programs for our needs. for example Dr.YAR Bluetooth manager, SPB pocket plus , SPB Mobile shell that use storage memory for installing and can't be install correctly in Storage card, so the Storage memory will be full after installing these programe and same...
So would u plz help me to put these file to my AKU3.13 ROM ?
Thanks a lot

I cannot get vitocopypaste to work!

i am trying to copy/move file, it wont tell me" file cannot copy or move".. i heard that Vito Copypaste is a good program, when i try to download it, my device says ERROR.. Cannot be viewed on this device.. I am pretty sure i have the App unlock.. because i have google maps, total commander and so installed.. any suggestings?

my understanding is that vito is for copying and pasting text, not files.
use total commander to move files...

I have tried that already, its says, cannot move or copy file! so i dont know what else to do...

This may be a silly question, but is your device app unlocked? Vitocopy/paste works great on my Dash.

i would think so, since i have total commander, farcade demo, google maps.. I am also running WM6.. i have no other problems installing/downloading any other files!

When your device is still Application Locked, you can still install some apps and they would work, however, some apps wouldn't run, so the question is, did you app unlocked it or not?

yeah i did do app unlock.. just not sure why vito wont work for me....

If using vito copy/paste to paste from one program into another, I have found that you cannot paste into password fields -- whether in IE, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini. I'm guessing this is a security measure either imposed by Vito Copy/Paste, The OS, or the browsers. I don't know why it's any riskier to do it in WM than in a Windows, but whatever. That is a pain in the butt.
If you are unable to paste a file using Total Commander and your device is unlocked, it's possible that the file is in use by the OS, or maybe in ROM?

just to add..Vito Copy Paste App could only be used for texts only and only in edit mode. It would not work on files etc..

thanks for all the info.. i appreciate it! this is VERY HELPFUL... after all this hassle, i was playing with total commander and was able to move i needed to windows/folder.. i cant tell u why it worked, but it did! trying to get the fav5 program to come up on my homescreen..Thanks again

looking back at all the posts ...
it seems that people have been telling you that the program is specifically used for copy/paste TEXT ONLY !!!
yet you keep on indicating what you have been trying is to move/copy files !!
are you even reading the helpful inputs ???

roger that! well anyways, i have it all taken care of!

HELP ME!!

ok i have a excalibur and i have wm6 on it and im trying install apps on it it is unlocked but i have no clue what a cab file is or how to install it or how to run it is there anyone that can help me??? [email protected] THANK YOU

Generally, you install the cab file to your PC desktop, hook up your phone to your PC via Activesync, and after the sync operation, click the "Explore" icon in Activesync to open the folder with the contents of your phone, drag the cab file icon from your desktop into the new folder you've opened and it's on your phone. Then click on that program file in "File Explorer" on your phone and it will install onto your phone.

Generally, one posts with a topic that is useful and gives a summary of the problem, not "HELP ME!!"
Thanks

ok i have done that and it still wont install some sights say i need netcf 2.0 and i tried installing it and found out i have netcf 3.5 or something like that?

Help with ZIP program on AT&T WM6...

Hey guys. I'm having this issue where, when I try and open a ZIP file on my 8525 w/ AT&T WM6, it says: "The central directory was not found in the archive (or you were trying to open a disk other than the last disk of a multi-disk archive)."
Downloading the file to my PC works just fine, so I've been transfering them either through USB or swapping the memory card in and out for now, but that gets annoying after a while.
It seems to have only started recently...but I fiddle with so many of the little .cab apps on here that I couldn't think of which one may have caused an issue with the ZIP program.
Anybody have any ideas as to how this could have started? Or how to fix it?

i have the same issue.

I have had similar issues, only way to get around it was to use OPERA 8.65 and download the file, once downloaded in opera the .zip file opened fine.
I assume it may be some sort of incompatibility with pocket i.e.
cj

It shouldn't have anything to do with PIE because the file downloads fine. In fact, the same download opens fine on my desktop PC. Its only on my pocket PC that I get the error.
Somehow my ZIP program is not recognizing all the ZIPs in a certain directory. When i ask it to search for all ZIPs, it comes back with a small portion of those on my PDA.
Something is blocking the application from seeing all the ZIPs and opening them.

What program are you using to open them? Try something like Total Commander.

It really doesn't matter what program you use to open them (Total Commander, Windows Explorer, ZIP, etc.). When that program calls up the ZIP application, the error message appears.

Ditto. I tried Total Commander and it's the same story. I recently had to hard reset a couple of times (due to a bit of over zealous registry editing), and even on a fresh reboot of WM6 it still couldn't open but a small percentage of the zips I have on the storage card, so I no longer believe that it was .cab that did it to me. Maybe just an inherent design flaw? I dunno. I've tried the standard ZIP program that comes on the phone, Total Commander, Pocket RAR...nothing seems to work. It really sucks because I browse the site alot while I'm at work, but I have to wait until I get home to try anything new out because I can't open 90% of ZIP files on the phone. It kinda' sucks.

doesn't resco have a zip utility?

sorry i double posted that last entry.

same issue
I have had the same issue with mine. I thought I was going crazy! If I put the zip file on my storage card through my pc then it will work and will open, but if I download it on my 8525, it does not work. I am glad to know I am not going nuts.
Frustrated.

It seems Pocket Rar doesn't work either for many of the zips, and I am using 3.71.
Maybe I need to try a cooked rom.

I am new to phone pda's and this matter has bugged me from the very beginning.
Searching led me here and the post from cejay jogged my memory as familiar and I have definitely confirmed this:
Many files downloaded as .zip will not open either automatically or as standalone zips, using the htc zip app. If the exact same file is downloaded using Opera mini it then can be opened using the htc app.
I had also noticed that zip files that would not open on the pda when transferred to my pc opened perfectly there.

Try pocket Rar, never had any problems with it.

[HELP] Cant Change or Rename!! [HELP]

High why cant i change/rename the shellres.... .mui file
reading searching alot and everybody says rename it to shellres... .mui.bak i try to but has no effect on my blackstone and it is my 3 time do to a hard reset
thanks fore replying sorry fore the bad english and sorry fore starting a thread will pls delete after i got some anwsers..

you cant rename using the normal file explorer, you got to use a program like total commander.

You need to try it with total commander or resco explorer i think. I have attached total commander, try it and see if you can rename with that.
#Edit, oops someone beat me too it

i have them both and using them alot but also with total commander and resco explorer tryd it and no luck so far...
is it just my phone or what... i just wanna change the start name..
