.dll Request

Can anyone extract shellres.dll, browsres.dll and outres.dll from the WM6 ROM and post 'em here?
TIA
--Mal

I'd love if someone posted the entire rom extract I tried but couldn't get any of the tools around here to extract and image-ify the nb files from the T-Mobile distribution.

I tried to extract those files for Malatesta but had no luck. Does anyone know what tools will work with the Excalibur?

Curses! lol
Yeah there's still a bunch of little things we can take out of WM6 for WM5 devices...hopefully something will be figured out.
And thanks curtislanham for trying too.
Anyone else have any input?

I think I have successfully dumped my ROM. I have never done it before. I am using the official WM6 ROM released by T-Mobile on 5/4/07....the contents of the dump folder are 113MB in size.....does this seem reasonable? Malatesta I do have the files you are looking for but am unable to attach them here. If you can give me your email I will send them to you.

Please can you explain how you did that?
I need the tapres.dll in Windows folder.
Could you please post it (or PM over the board)?
Thanx alot

Keep in mind I am new to smartphones and Windows Mobile for that matter. I ran the Dash update posted on T-Mobile's website (Dash_Software_Update_1.22.531.4.exe). I used psdread to create an img file on my hard drive. Then I used prepare_imgfs and view_imgfs to extract the contents of the img file. The only thing is that the directory structure is not intact. Each file that was extracted resides in it's own folder, accompanied by an imageinfo.txt file, and S000, S001, S002. S003 files.

Sweet! just go to http://www.rapidshare.de and upload it, and then post the resulting URL here and we'll take it from there. literally!

I will post it as soon as I get home and post the link here. Rapidshare is blocked here at work.

Damn.
I can't get those files registered in my system.
They're suppose to be the system icons (for those who are wondering) but my system just hangs after I replace them.
I've tried notsignedoff.cab and regsrvce.exe to no avail (and I don't have regasm.exe to work with).
Hmmm....I think I need to kill off the .dlls first before I replace/sign them but I'm not sure how to do that as they don't show up in my Processes viewer.
Calling g-funk! lol

Ok all you hackers and developers, tell me if this is what you have been waiting for......

I think we had similar ideas
The tapres.dll holds the image of the Windows-Flag in the Start-button, which I wanted to change to an apple (for iPhone Homescreens) or a penguin or whatever.
I hope you can get the changed .dll's accepted by the phone.
Just an idea:
With CeleTask you can see what processes use this dll's. Maybe you could kill these processes and then change the .dll.
With my tabres.dll I had no luck because there are six processes which use it and the phone freezes after killing the last of them...
BTW: Thx to curtislanham for the work

indeed we did have the same idea!
Funny thing is I tried CeleTask too (great program) but it only showed .exe files (even the hidden ones) but I couldn't see any .dlls. Searching for a program to bring up the .dlls lead to nowhere.
I know people have gotten this to work on the non-landscape devices, usually without too much hassel. Guess we'll have to wait till some of the more expert people take a gander at the files...
and thanks curtislanham, hopefully now we can start ripping part WM6 and posting it piecemeal, lol.

I found a wm6 version of shellres.dll on another site and I was able to overwrite mine on the Q. I didn't try any of the other files. First boot after I overwrote, it worked and my icons for a lot of things changed, many look Great though the IE looks a bit weird against a white background and the messaging icon, I'm no big fan of either.
Note: Upon booting, my Q made a serious of Alert sounds, I pressed the left softkey and was allowed to confirm the first-run alert for the dll.
I tried copying over the version of shellres posted here, but it just would not let me overwrite the new version I already have

When you go in CeleTask to the "Process" Page you'll find your running .exe's.
Simply "click" on any and you see what dll's this exe is using.
Go through all (also hidden ones) and you have the exe's you have to kill.
Maybe you can overwrite when the dll isn't in use anymore.
But when I read g-funkster's post I am sure there is an easier (and also "cleaner") way to get the dll's changed.
I believe the answers might already be found here in another (PPC)-forum/wiki and our issue is just "noob-stuff"

I take it it's the one from a certain Chinese site like PxDx...? B/c I have that one but haven't tried it (I thought there was a warning about using it on landscape devices). If not, could you post it here?
Also, I assume besides the initial boot up alert/sounds it runs fine now?
[b/]r0p3[/b], good to know...next time I might try that, although I need a day to recover from all the hard-resets, lol.

Yep, that's the site
lol you listen to those guys?! yes that was the site, those ppl don't make sense most of the time so, meh, Sprite Backup if anything.
See the attached images, the majority of icons are improved, for instance, the non-icon icon (see the AE.png for Internet Explorer) is much prettier and the majority of icons for everything else are nice.
But yeah, the icon for IE is off, or maybe I'm picky. you be the judge. Also, I can't seem to get rid of the shellres once its installed. And yes, it works fine after the alerts and confirm.

Editing APKs to match themes (Not just app icons!)

I've never started a thread here, as I rarely have a unique idea - but this time I've decided to bite the bullet and share my experience.
It has been discussed on these forums about editing the APKs for non-stock apps in order to make the icon match the theme throughout the OS (as opposed to using Bettercut or similar to just change the homescreen icon). It has also been discussed elsewhere, but I can't find the link.
My problem was very similar, yet different, so I figured I'd play around and see what I could come up with.
I use the unbelievably sexy GlossSuite theme by Moonsspoon which uses this cool little icon in the notification bar to alert you to having a new SMS (and maybe MMS, not sure...).

}
I also use the app from the market called SMS Popup. If you dont know what it is, check it out - very handy. One of my favorite features of the app is that you can use it for your SMS notifications, and it allows you to set a custom vibe pattern and it will flash the LED the color of your choice - both very helpful to let you know that it's an SMS you're getting instead of a call or whatever...
You need to turn off the native SMS app's notifications when you use this feature of SMS Popup so that you dont get 2 alerts every time you get a message. The drawback to this, while using a theme like GlossSuite, is that the notification icon for messages that SMS Popup uses is the stock icon:
This is only a problem if you're OCD like myself.
I had already gotten the png icon extracted from the GlossSuite theme in hopes that I could just swap it out with the icon inside the SMS Popup apk (if I could find it, that is).
So I decided to crack open the APK for SMS Popup and see if I could find the icon used and what I could do to make it use the icon from the GlossSuite theme.
Inside the APK in the /res/drawable folder there are 2 images: The app's icon, and the icon used in the notification bar. And to make it even easier, the file name was exactly the same as the file used by the GlossSuite theme! Easy enough!
I used 7zip (WinRAR should work just fine too) to:
1. Open the APK
2. Navigate to the /res/drawable folder
3. Delete the stat_notify_sms.png
4. Drag and drop the png I extracted from the theme into it's spot
5. Delete the META-INF folder inside the SMS Popup APK
-- I got this info from the previously mentioned thread about swapping non-stock icons. It is so that when you resign the APK in the next step, the keys don't conflict with what the APK dev has used (or something like that - I admittedly don't know anything about keys and signing and all that jazz)
6. Close your archiving application.
I then used this auto-signing tool posted by "Dave Da illest 1" to resign the APK using the testkeys. It had to be edited slightly to sign APKs instead of ZIP files. If you want to download my edited version of the auto-signing tool, click here.
Uninstalled the previous version of the app, copied the APK over to my SDcard and then used AppManager to install the APK, and now:
(yes, I know there are typos...)
It works!
I'm sure most of your brainiacs here at XDA have figured this out on your own, but I couldnt find any solid information on it so I figured I'd share what little knowledge I had on the subject.
If you want to try this for yourself and want the icon from the GlossSuite theme, it is here.
And if you just happen to have GlossSuite installed and are using SMS Popup and would like my already edited version of the APK, click here.
[DISCLAIMER: If my sharing of this APK goes against any rules of the forum, please excuse my ignorance. If I find out this is the case, and a mod hasn't beat me to the punch, I'll gladly remove this link!]
So - with all that being said, I should clarify that I haven't done any theme creation (although I have edited a few pngs here and there, but nothing major), so obviously this bit of information is probably well below most of you... But if it can help anyone, then yay for my first real contribution to this community.

Awesome find. When I finally settle on a version I think I will sit down and do this for a few Apps. I havent heard anything on it before so as far as I'm concerned your the first!
|Spike|

i am trying to do something very similar- i am trying to install the file below as my status bar icon but when i use your autosign app (and the other auto sign app) i still get a "this cannot be installed on your device" or something similar....
did you have this issue ever?
After resigning with your tool did you then name it back to what is originally was or did you leave the name as to what the autosign converted it to?

fixed. apparently you need to uninstall the app first. wonder how this affects updates of it in the future?

great find. im also curious to know how updates will affect the app (if the market place will even tell us if ther is an update)

Yeah thanks for pointing this out - I added the "remove old version" step to my information in the original post.
And since the process goes as such, as far as the Market is concerned, the app isn't even installed on the phone, so I would assume that you won't be notified of updates.
And, of course, if you manually notice an update in the Market and install the app from there, you won't have your changes in place... would have to go thru the process again I believe.

That's where aTrackDog comes into play.
Keep all your apps uptodate even if the market doesn't know.

yeah- for sure. now that i have flashed to 5.0G none of my apps show up in my downloads so i stick with atrackdog. i am wondering if an update is found by atrackdog will it be able to be installed over the top of the altered one we have installed....

2. Navigate to the /res/drawable folder
Am I supposed to open the APK on my phone or computer? I can't find this folder.

Its simply just replace the image with your own, resign, install and you're good to go. Heres an example of what you could do.
I made this months ago but didn't think it was anything special so i never said anything. Lighting bolt at the top is the triangle notification.

copy it from your phone to your pc using adb.

For non-stock apps, you can use a free app called AppManager to copy non-protected apps to your SD card.
Or, you can just use the terminal emulator
cd data/app
ls
[shows a list of all non-protected apps installed]
cp [filename.apk] /sdcard/[backup folder of your choice]
This same method can be used for protected apps if you can find the correct folder... But I won't provide that info, because I'm sure that's against the rules of these forums.

Congrats. Like I said, this isn't rocket science. But for a n00b like me (and apparently others) this was good information that I'm glad I posted.

It's finished! I've got a GUI made that utilizes existing command line tools to allow a user to freely convert CABs to OEM and EXT files!
As you can see, it's a simple GUI. However, it becomes quite powerful once you use it. The user can click and drag CABs into the listbox and they will be automatically added. Select the CABs you want to convert by clicking on them and highlighting them.
There is a library file that is needed in order to run it called COMDLG32.ocx. This is installed when the self-extracting archive is finished. That's what the batch file and library dialog that pops up is all about. Nothing to worry about.
There are no checks to see if the conversions have been successful, so that will still need to be done manually by the user. I hope to figure out a way to tell if they were successful or not eventually.
As for comments, questions, or suggestions, feel free to make them!

Anyone willing to use cab2oem and EXT_PAckages_rebuilder.exe and create a GUI where a user can: select which cabs/packages he wants to convert, allow cab to oem, oem to ext, and cab to ext. It should be able to allow you to pick the input and output directory. It needs to be able to pick multiple cabs from different directories. I suck at graphics, so if someone could make a concept. This would be a great tool for rom cookers. Da_G had directed me to make batch files, but I was having problems with those not working with all cabs so I thought of and idea and hope could make it possible.

+1 for this! I'm sick of having to CAB2NEWKITCHEN all my cabs each time I add a new one.
Any chance the cabs you're running into an issue with are missing the setup.xml Kraize? They're the only cabs I haven't been able to convert to a package.
By the way, great work with the batch files. Cheers.
EDIT: I could probably do a concept design too but I'm leaving work soon so it'll have to wait until later unless someone beats me to the punch.

Yes. Me and Jason were having problems with the ones without setup.xml files lol. But I think that's a fault of Cab2oem, but I'm not totally sure. Maybe someone more intelligent could clue us in.

The worst part was when it said there was no _setup.xml and it STILL said it couldn't convert due to a missing _setup.xml!
Anyways, working on this in VB6 (stfu, i'm a noob)
Should be able to post something up shortly!

Good stuff

Btw guys, I suggest you wait a while (say 5-6mins) before clicking OK in the message box if you have 100+ cab files. There are still some cab files that will not convert because they do not have a _setup.xml file We need to contact the dev of cab2oem and see what we can do about that.

Its not just cabs that dont have _setup.xml, have had a few where in the conversion I get no app.dat or app.reg, look in the files folder and right at the top is the bloomin _setup.xml!!

Aye. If you run that cab manually through the converters, it still won't convert. It's a problem with the converters, unfortunately. Well, to be fair, it's probably a problem with the CAB file's _setup.xml, because I'm pretty darn sure that the converter can find it if it's there.
When I get bored tonight, I'll take a look at it and see what's different between the CAB files that work and the CAB files that don't.

Bah! seems like god is playing with me..all my cabs converted...somehow o.o, I had to do a few manually, but they converted.
EDIT: These are the ones that didn't convert via the gui.

Really? For all your cabs? For me it seemed that way, but then I got an error with platformbuilder.exe and it put my rom on hold

Its not working for me but that may be because I'm on windows 7..I'm not sure yet..

thx,
just what i needed for fingermenu and fingerkeyboard.
cheers
EDIT:worked fine, time to optimize the OEM (remove QVGA files, etc)

Great tool to custom cook your own rom with app you want.... thanx a lot..

(autobuild files, thx for posting this!)
you should have something like zImage-modules-DATE_VER.tar
--go to eclair_fs/ and delete the modules-2.6.27-00330-f485082e.tar (name differ with version) and the "zImage" files.
--untar (with winrar or whatever) in your eclair_fs/ the two files.
--rename the zImage.00000000 (figures as the build date) in "zImage" (without quotes).
-- leave the modules-2.6.27-00710-g485083e.tar you have just extracted with the same name.
c)===================
go to eclair_fs/startup-configs and make sure you have a DIAM100.txt (or whatever DIAMx00 you have, retrieve DIAMx00.txt).
*if YES then delete eclair_fs/startup.txt and copy+rename the eclair_fs/startup-configs/DIAM100.txt to eclair_fs/startup.txt.
*if NO then google another package (the one from connect-utb should have one).
d)===================
optional: make your changes in startup.txt
e)===================
delete the data.img file if you have one (when you make changes in your zImage or system.sqsh you have to delete data.img).
f)===================
now your eclair_fs should look like this:

Some bugs are yet to be resolved so to make sure you won't have to reboot again, make sure under Windows Mobile you have:
-disabled the PinCode
-Enabled the GPRS Connection (it works for me without this step but sometime not)
-disabled the airplane mode (if you activated the GPRS you should't be in this mode ^^
-disable whatever special state you put your phone in.
i)===================
run /InternalStorage/Haret.exe
Format your internal storage once in fat32, you don't need to format it every time you change between build.

I remembered someone asking about getting their outlook contacts onto their device, and noticed that in Contacts there is the option to import/export, so all you need to do is export contacts from Outlook and save the file to your root folder then open contacts in Android and import the csv file.
I came across the ability to program what function the end key can perform the options were along the lines -
1. close program
2. home page
3. close program and home page
4. do nothing
however, I cant seem to find the option and I am not sure if it was an application I was using or a setting function??? Anyone came across this?
Update The setting is in the Spare Parts App

(Sorry if it's a stupid question)
Thx

yes, it works...you just have to change the startup file acording to your device.

There is already a startup file for the diamond. This works very well
Dont expect it to be a complete replacement for windows just yet. GPS and Camera do not work but thats minor.

Is it possible to have Swedish keyboard?
Comments from testing?

Android not booting
Android does not boot on my device.It says "failed to find system.img on sdcard".Though a system.sqsh file is present in internal storage.I renamed it to system.img then too it fails with same error message.

interesting, anyone tested?
how about it's performance? smoother than windows 6.5?

mod please delete for double post...

Comments:
Best try for yourself. I found it to be a little annoying to use (much like most Linux machines i've used before). It sometimes seems a little laggy, and I couldnt work out how to turn my phone off since the power button just brings up a menu. Also my phone kept locking and I had to fiddle to get it unlocked again.
I'm not exactly sure how it runs on the phone. If it runs on top of my current rom then my experiences could be down to lack of RAM. When I did a soft reset my Windows ROM booted up and I've been using that until I can get a chance to play again.
Also, I am on O2 UK. I must need to get my 3G settings from somewhere because I couldnt get on the internet under linux.
I will definately be playing some more and will see about using it as a propper phone OS, once I get my contacts on my sim, and I get WWW working. It's very good IMO

It works god but it needs more work. there are problems to get GPRS to work
One good thing is that after a reboot it boots on WM, so you could try android and have your Windows back after a reboot =)
Can't get SMS to work, tried ATcommander.
dieselboy : To turn off the phone, just hold the End button.

so i got it on my diamond and it works rly fine!
is there any way to include htc sense in the android?

It doesn't boot with me.
I use a custom WM6.1 ROM (AZTOR WWE).
I copied all files and updates to the internal storage.
When I start HaRET from the explorer it shows a progressbar saying:
HaRET: Booting Linux ...
on the bottom of my screen is a second titlebar (from Windows) that shows me a Windows Start button, the text 'HaRET Version...' , a keyboard and all the icons I have in my titlebar (reception, volume, 3G icon...)
The progressbar doesn't get past (about) 95% and then everything freezes.
Anyone any idea? Do I need to stop TouchFlo or something?

GPRS and WIFI are unable to work.

Hang on a moment.
So this is now working in the sense that I can make a call and the microphone and ear piece now work?
I tried Android a few months ago and the only benefit I could see was that it ran and loaded but none of the phone hadrware was usable or a ***** to get gprs working.

WiFi works when the network you want to connect to has WPA2 key encryption.

Cool!
Ok A list of what keys do what would be handy.
The menu (Home Button I'm assuming)Button doesn't seem to do anything when the Phone auto locks..

GPS work ?

So far I've figured out that the End Key is the power button; it puts it to sleep (which takes a while to wake up from).
The power button is Home or whatever it's called on Android; it takes you to the desktop.
Home key is menu button and is used to unlock, you can wake the phone up with either power button or menu button but then menu to unlock, sometimes you have to press it a couple of times.
Call button still seems to be call; it brings up the call log from the desktop.
I'm liking what I've seen so far; it's very intuitive. I haven't got 3G internet working though :-(.

API Demos
The simple bitmap ones work but Opengl ones just make the phone crash.
I can't wait to see this on a phone with the Tegra chip on.
Don't understand why When I set the sound to Vibrate. Bejewed still plays sound. It's Cool though
I accidentally started the Voice dialler which also crashed but it's cool. GPRS Data is working
WPA2 Wifi cool!
Gyro Sensors working

WP7 Root Tools - Announcement: Coming to MANGO and to other devices: SAMSUNG, HTC, LG

Hi hackers!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
WP7 Root Tools will soon be available for Mango!
More info HERE
With this tool you get root-access to parts of your WP7 device. The first release only contains a registry-editor. The file-explorer and certificate stores will follow.
This tool is in alpha stage. That means that it is not feature complete and it is not yet properly tested. This tool also provides you with high privileges with which you can alter low level settings and data on this device. All this may result in unexpected and undesired behaviour, which may ultimately damage your device. Use this tool with care and use it at your own risk. The developer of this tool cannot be hold responsible for any kind of damages, caused directly or indirectly by using this tool.
The current version of this tool can only be used on Samsung devices. A small part of the code uses Samsung-specific functionality. The performance of the tool may sometimes be slow. This is the result of the way access to the system is elevated. The goal is to make this tool device-independent and to elevate access more directly in the future, but that requires more research.
To install this you need a developer-unlocked Windows Phone 7 device. For questions about unlocking your device, please refer to the appropriate threads.
If you have bug-reports or feature-requests, please give a full description.
If you like this, hit the "Thanks" and/or "Donate to me" button.
Ciao,
Heathcliff74
Update 2011/04/06:
1. Some people requested a possibility for donations. I opened a paypal-account and the "Donate to me" should work. Thanks!
2. I get an overwhelming amount of comments and pm's. I can't answer them all right now. I will try to answer them a bit later. Sorry.
Thanks for all the support guys!
Update 2011/04/13: RELEASE "WP Root Tools 0.2 alpha"
Consider this an "interim build". Most changes are under the hood. I did a lot of refactoring for performance improvements and paving the way for the file-explorer. This version does not include the file-explorer just yet. That will be the next release. Fixes in the new 0.2 alpha version:
- Compatible with light theme.
- Navigate out of the app with back-button.
- Due to refactoring and better use of the exploit I gained a lot of performance. It is very fast compared to the previous version. Should also reduce battery drain significantly.
Update 2011/04/14: RELEASE "WP Root Tools 0.3 alpha"
Mightyhog found a regression bug in the 0.2 version. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ was not listed properly. It is fixed in the 0.3 alpha version.
Update 2011/04/18: Info about known limitations
Yesterday I added some info here which, after more research, did not seem to be entirely correct. I misinterpreted some of the file-flags I was seeing. So here's some more detailed info about the know limitations of the current Registry Editor and the File Explorer which is coming soon. It seems that having TCB privileges still has some limitations on accessing the filesystem and the registry.
Some registry values can be changed but they are reset back to their default value after the device is restarted. One example of such value is:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\BattUserIdle DWord 300
Possible explanations:
- The value is stored in a ROM registry hive. The change is made in RAM and after the device is restarted and RAM is cleared, the value is read from ROM.
- In the boot sequence of the device some xml-files which contain settings, are provisioned and overwrite changes made to the registry.
- A certain service or startup-program simply overwrites settings on system-startup.
I'm working on the File Explorer now. While testing I found out that eventhough I have TCB privileges some access is still restricted, because system-files are mapped directly in ROM. There are 2 file-flags that have impact on this:
- 0x0040 = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_INROM - This file is an OS file stored in ROM. Most files in the \Windows folder have this attribute. These files cannot be moved, modified, renamed or removed. Only a firmware update can change these files.
- 0x2000 = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ROMMODULE - The exe- and dll-files in the \Windows folder also have this flag set. These ROM files are mapped directly into executable read-only address-space, rather than being first copied to RAM. They cannot even be accessed as a file. They can only be executed. And therefore these files also can't be copied to another location, ie. we don't even have read-access on these files. However, I may have found a way to access these files anyway. This needs a bit more research, but I hope that I can at least copy the files to a location where they can be accessed.
Everything else seems to be possible. Creating files in the \Windows folder is no problem. I hope to be able to release a version with a File Explorer soon. I guess it will be in about two weeks or something. Bear with me.
Update 2011/04/19: No luck on reading the ROM modules
I did more testing. I wanted to have at least read-access to the exe- and dll-files in the \Windows folder. As it is not possible to call CreateFile() on those files, I tried LoadLibrary(). That works. With CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(), Module32First() and Module32Next() I can enumerate the modules and find the one I loaded. I also get a baseaddress and size of the module. The problem is that I can't access that memory. I tried direct-access and I tried using ReadProcessMemory(). ReadProcessMemory() returns "Incorrect parameter" as soon as I try to access the ROM memory. Also using VirtualProctect() to unlock the memory gives me "Incorrect parameter" all the time. So it seems we won't have read-access to the exe- and dll-files in the \Windows folder for now. I will now concentrate on other functionality for the File Browser. I will try to get access to the ROM modules later on.
Update 2011/06/14: RELEASE "WP Root Tools 0.4 alpha"
It has taken me a long time, here's a new release, finally. Actually this release is not very useful yet, because the file-explorer is read-only so far. The "Cut / Copy / Paste / Delete / Rename" will follow soon. The browsing part has been extremely difficult. The main problem was the performance. Opening a folder could take up to 4 minutes. Ouch! Through a combination of multi-threading techniques, caching and combining multiple exploits I finally got this to a stable solution where browsing can be done in quite an acceptable way. The write actions don't have these performance issues, because it is not a real problem when copying a file will take a few seconds more or less. I already started on implementing this. This release also has a few minor fixes to the Registry editor, but no new functionality. I also did a lot of testing on the certificate stores. I got full read / write access to all the stores, but none of that is implemented in the WP7 Root Tools yet. That will be next.
Update 2011/06/24: RELEASE "WP Root Tools 0.5 alpha"
In this version I implemented the basic file-operations and a certificate installer.
You might wonder why I created a certificate installer, because it is already possible to add certificates. When you email a certificate to yourself and tap that attachment, WP7 will install it. But if you install like this, the certificate will always be installed in the "Root" certificate store. With my certificate installer you can also install in "CA", "My" and "Code Integrity" stores. This may be very useful for hacking attempts. You can install a certificate by browsing to the ".cer" file and tap it. The possibilities for getting a certificate file on your phone will follow below. If you start installing certificates on your phone you should consider making backups in advance. I once experienced Zune going totally bezerk after installing certs. Zune took 100% and lost connection with the phone all the time. Everything was back to normal when I deleted the certs. In this version there is no view on the certificate stores available yet. In a future version you will be able to view the contents of all the certificate store and also uninstall certificates from there.
I specifically mentioned that this version has basic file-operations, because not everything is implemented. This is what you can do:
- Cut / Copy / Paste / Delete / Rename single files
- Delete empty folders
- Create new folders
This is what you can't do (will be possible in later versions):
- Cut / Copy / Paste multiple files or entire folders
- Delete folders with content
- Rename folders
Last, but not least: I fixed some performance issues. Mainly memory-leaks in native code and in COM interop. I'm not sure if I got all leaks now, because it's not easy to do native C++ without debugger and profiler. But improvement is clearly noticeable.
This version does not have a connection with the PC. So it is not possible to use WP7 Root Tools to transfer files between the phone and the PC. You can however, use other tools to get files onto your phone and then use WP7 Root Tools to move the files to the desired location. WP7 Root Tools has write access on every folder of your phone.
How to transfer files to your phone:
Mail the file to yourself. Use your phone to go to your mailbox (not webmail). The attachment will be downloaded in the background. Then use WP7 Root Tools to navigate to \Application Data\Volatile\EmailAttachments\Attachments(number). You have to look which attachment is the one you want. The filename may be changed. The extension is the same.
Install Davux' webserver on your phone. Configure a password in that webserver. The IP of the phone is visible in the webserver app. Browse to the phone like this: http://192.168.1.2/IsolatedStorage using the IP of the phone. Upload a file to the phone. Open WP7 Root Tools 0.5 alpha. Navigate to this folder: \Applications\Data\9BFACECD-C655-4E5B-B024-1E6C2A7456AC\Data\IsolatedStore\. There's your file. You can copy it to another location if you want.
Use the Zune storage hack, described here and here. If you copied the files to your phone in this way, they will be located at \My Documents\Zune\Content in one of the subfolders. Again, the files here are renamed. You have to find the file you want and then rename it.
Have fun!

very nice tool, needed a good registry editor for the samsung focus and this is perfect. thanks!

ur f-n awesome bro!

brilliant heathcliff

Very nice - works really well with the Focus.
Do you have any timeline for the file browser part? I'd love to see functionality that can copy files on and off the system folders.
Thanks for the tool!

EXCELLENT WORK Heathcliff, finally a way to write to the parts of the registry that we wasnt able to before. NOW we are getting somewhere with the Focus!!

Nice! Looks pretty neat!

Live tiles on Samsung Focus work now!
This is exactly what I was looking for to accomplish the live tile fix on my Samsung Focus detailed on wmpoweruser.

Yes I have 'full' access to the filesystem. The are 2 exceptions I found so far, using my hack:
1. I don't have access to files that are in use by the system. So, driver-files that are currently used cannot be accessed. Not even read-access. Possible work-around: I want to try to make a kind of copy-on-boot. I've already seen locations in the registry, where I can possibly add a startup-item that copies a file to a temporary location, when the file is not in use yet. But I have not tried that yet.
2. I can't overwrite or modify files that have the systemfile-flag. But I can copy the files, as long as they are not in use. Possible work-around: I have not tried all possibilities for changing file-flags. I might be able to do that.
I do have access through the entire file-system, including the \Windows folder and to the IsolatedStorage-folders of other apps. So that should give you a full file-explorer. Working on that now.

Well, there is not really a time-line yet. I wanted to finish the first release of this tool for a long time now. But I got some serious family issues. My grandpa died and my mother got a stroke and needed brain-surgery. Surgery went ok, but she needs rehabilitation right now. You can understand that I spent a lot of time with family over last weeks. I'm not sure how things will go. Situation with my mother looks promising. I visit her every other day now and it is a long ride. So that makes planning for this tool a bit difficult. But a lot of code that I made now is reusable for the other parts of WP7 Root Tools. So that should be a lot easier. I guess it won't take too long before I can add the file-explorer and certificate-stores. Just bear with me.

Hi Heathcliff74,
I hope everything goes well for your Family. The tool is one of kind, it's the first time that I see full Registry access on my Omnia 7. It looks very promising and I cannot wait for the File Explorer part. I hope you can add more features for both the registry and file explorer. Can you export the registry? Or that is not possible yet. Also, I would love to see a favorite’s option so we can add locations of the registry as favorites. We are very grateful to you for an excellent tool. Thanks.

Big thanks for the first alpha release ! Later this day I will do some tests and reply...

Thanks for the compliment. Importing and exporting registry keys is a feature that is not present yet, but it can be implemented for sure. Also a favorites option can be done. I'll put that on my ToDo-list.

Very good app. Hope to see quickly the file explorer feature !!!!
Take care of your family which is the most important .
Good luck!!!!

This is huge, I confirm it works on restricted Registry keys.
You are the best
