Many people are asking me what I throw into my Extended ROM since I play around with tweaks and CAB files. Well, I decided to finalize most of it and make it available for public consumption.
Mind you, I have a Qtek 9000 (Universal) which I flashed to the JASJAR CE ROM which appears to be more stable, O2 XDA Exec Radio ROM, and the mix of CAB files from various devices plus my own concoction.

Hi BeyondtheTech,
1) Any procedure to perform the upgrade?

3) How to unlock/lock and unhide/hide EXTROM?
Thanks

Is there any java plugin avaialble for the Universal since existing PIE cannot view sites with java (I might be wrong)?
Thanks

Hi BeyondtheTech
Your link leads to nowhere
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Java/JeodeForPocketPC.exe
http://www.beyondthetech.com/downloads/phone/hacks/Extended_ROM/
All the Extended ROM files have been moved to this folder.
The links are gone because your site is under construction.
Please give us new links. Thanks a lot.
I have put back the files here:
http://www.beyondthetech.com/downloads/phone/extrom
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Forbidden....

Sorry, forgot the .htaccess file for the webhosting.
It's good now!
Thank you so much. Downloading now... :lol:
Just a small question: how can I modify the file Default_Unsigned_Regional_USA.sa to change the regional to Australia? Of course, if regional is Australia, the date format is dd MMM yy
Hope you can help me soon. Thanks in advance.
I had to search for the particular keys that get changed, then set them in the CAB file.
Since I don't remember offhand what keys get changed, you can try opening the CAB file with OCP WinCE CAB Manager (www.ocpsoftware.com) then look in the Registry section for the keys and values.
Next, go ahead and use the Regional Settings to change to Australia and whatever else you need.
Then, use Resco Explorer or another Registry Editor to see what the new values are and pop them back into the CAB file. Done!
I do not seem to be able to find the following cab. Is it missing or have I gone mad?!?

I just downloaded total commander but am wondering how to interpret the registry tweeks. What exactly do i do when i find the registry item (example below)
Remove the Battery Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000
i can find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power but then what does "showicon"=dword:00000000 mean?
Or maybe someone can point me in the right direction on where a tutorial would be on editing this stuff. Thanks!
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\CClock]
"SK2URL"="Explorer.exe"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\CClock]
"SK2TEXT"="Explorer"
this is the softkey link app of CClockPanel
if you want to add something to the SettingPanel,add registry settings like below:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Settings\USB]
"GUID"="{4B998C14-3801-4a8e-9B20-5DFE58B19C39}"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\Settings\USB]
"PICTURES"="\\windows\\CHome_settings_USB.png"
"ACTIONURL"=":MSSettings;pcconnection.cpl.xml"
"SK2URL"="WM5torage.exe"
"PLUGINICONNAME"="CHomeGeneric_Settings_PluginIcon.png"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\Settings\USB]
"TITLETEXT"="Settings"
"TEXT1"="USB to PC"
"TEXT2"="Switch USB connection mode"
"SK2TEXT"="USB Storage"
GUID must be {4B998C14-3801-4a8e-9B20-5DFE58B19C39} to add an app link.
Very useful tips kavana. You are great.
It's possbile to add sliding panel to wm6 ROM?
May I ask you something about cooking ROM (also in PM)?
I'm using Dutty's 2.3 Xtreme ROM. The startmenu is based on the Rhodium roms (looks like the program tab, but with nicer icons ). However, the good-looking icons are only those that came with the rom, for example WMPlayer, settings, file explorer, etc. When you add a shortcut from lets say TomTom, it looks all crap with jagged edges. It's seems the iconholder upscales the icon or something so it's no longer at it's native resolution. I would like to be able to change the icon used for a certain shortcut myself to perhaps a higher resolution alternative.
It seems the used icon is controlled bij strings in HKLM\software\HTC\Manila. The string's name is the .exe used in the shortcut. It contains a file location to \windows\MPI_xxx.qct (\windows\MPI_wmplayer.qct, \windows\MPI_camera.qct, etc.). I know this, because when I change the path in lets say the wmplayer.exe string to that of the file explorer MPI file, the icon changes in the start menu. However, when I make a new string with a stringname for tomtom (tomtom navigator.exe) and make it's value the same as the fileexplorer, nothing happens...
So... help? I don't know what to try next due to my limited knowledge on the subject. Who can help me devise a way to use custom icons in the new startmenu?
You have to use the full path, not just the file name. Also, you have to use quotes.
For example: I wanted Resco File Explorer to use HTC's explorer icon, so I created a new string with the name:
"\Program Files\Resco Explorer\Explorer.exe" (quotes included)
And value:
\windows\MPI_fexplorer.qtc (no quotes here)

Yes... Thanks! Can I use it in WM 6.5? Just want to know because I dont want to do a hard reset when I fail.
I change my program icon directly in the program.exe file. this way both from startmenu and programs show the new icons. use resource hack to do it. you can also hack into the installation cab and change it there. so every time you change rom and reinstall, the new icon is there. just my way......need helpon that you can pm me
