compimeh.dat is 21Meg! what is it? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi Guys,
I am having a problem with an eten x500 WM6.. my compimeh.dat file in the windows directory in 21Meg! and i think its getting bigger and bigger... what is it?
and how can i delete it or make it smaller???

Compimeh.dat is where your autocomplete words are stored in the dictionary

do you know how to delete it or make it smaller...??
i tried the option in the 'Auto complete' options screen but it did not make it any smaller.

rename it and then make a softreset. after restart you can delete the renamed file and a new one was created

yep, that sorted it!
no idea why it got soo big!

What Messenger?
Do you use a threaded messenger or any such modified txting program. I am trying to sort this problem after the fact. It was necessary for me to do the same procedure as described in this thread and im trying to find a way to avoid it in the future. most people do not seem to have a problem with their compimeh file and yet there has to be a common denominator between us that had this same problem. mine went from 8 megs one day to 25 the next. I have no idea how or why and i would like to try and avoid this problem again. i got to the point where i was so limited in storage memory that i almost couldnt bring up the file to delete it!
Anyway, thanks for everyones input and i hope we no longer encounter this problem.

VJBigphone issues

One thing thats ticking me off a little is that VJBigPhone requires me to hit "load and Fix" after a reset for the incall screen to fix itself. Is this something unique to me or are other people experiencing this problem too? Anyone know a way to get round this?
Thanks to VJ for this app.
It's not supposed to do that - when loaded it searches for the phone and attempts to fix it. If cprog.exe isn't loaded for whatever reason, it gives up after a few seconds and waits for you to do the honours first.
I could make it more invasive, but chose not to. Examine your \windows\startup and see if there's anything odd going on to slow down your reboot etc. If it's a major problem I may rexamine the issue, but as far as I'm concerned, I think VJBigPhone isn't necessary now we have the opportunity to make our own phone skins with the eten dialler.

Thanks for the reply. There are almost no other apps in the startup fold which would cause a delay. I've had this issue even when starting out with a fresh ROM.
I've notice the ETEN method mentioned else where on the forums but even after many trawls I've haven't managed to work out how its implemented (Any method I look at seems to fall over in VGA mode). Could you point me in the right direction?
Thanks for all you work so far - TJ
Hmm, to tell you the truth, I've never tried the Eten skin. Let's just say that I have a much, much better solution, but it's not ready for release yet.
However, to use eten you should just have to drag the dll into Visual Studio or a good resource hacker and mess around with it. In theory. I've only briefly looked into it. I imagine you may also have to make a dpi dependant dll, but I guess that's already discussed by people with bigger brains then me.
If it's a big problem, I'll look into VJBigPhone again...

Two major problems with "Kavana 080330 version of 6.1"...

Thanks to all of you who work on these ROMS...I appreciate it so much!
Two problems are..
1. I am getting this error now with Kavana 080330 version of 6.1. I cannot sync with my corporate exchange server. I get the following error: ActiveSync encountered a problem on the server. Support code 0x86000108. I used another version of 6.1 and did not get this error.
2. Internet Explorer will just close on its own for no reason. This seems to happen when I am in another Internet app. Anyone else seen this behavior? I have tried two flavors of 6.1 and number 2 was exhibited in both of them.
Thanks for any responses in advance!
anyone?
anyone have any idea on either of these?

i dont know y dont u use opera brower.. i guess
Got past one of them..
I had to delete all of my tasks from my corporate outlook account, sync email, and then turn tasks back on. I think it has something to do with Sharepoint alerts.
Now to figure out this pesky IE problem where it is closing out. I wonder if I am hitting a hot key that I don't know about??
check your celetask hot keys.... i know double 0 was bootin me out til i changed it
KeyMapping Problem
i am not able to type the correct letters in the "numbers" section of my t-mobile dash and some other keys arent working correctly.
i had to download full et9 in beginning of his post and then edit the 409.text file
could you go step by step with the editing of the 409 file. btw did you have the same problem because im thinkings its because of me having a T-Mobile Dash

thanks for the help but i found a updated cab file on the official post. but thanks anyways!

Manilla settings?

does anyone know where the settings for TF3D are stored? as in, which contacts are displayed, which programs, cities etc...
i tried to backup my registry changes before flashing again thinking that would capture this info, but apparently not.. sure would save time on a re-flash if we knew
I would like to be able to tweak fonts in Manilla, e.g. white to black on the Home Screen of 3DTF. Is that possible?
well i don't know about that... i think that's quite a different issue than the question i'm asking? anyone? sure would be nice to be able to automate the setup of TF3D after a flash..
well, this is all i can find in the registry for the TF3D settings:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
the stuff under that controls the wallpaper, and the cities in the weather tab
this location is where you can backup what programs are listed under your programs tab:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher]
but i still can't find where its storing which photo contacts are listed under the contacts tab... anybody?
also.. sometimes the wallpaper doesn't set although i have this key.. am i missing something?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CachedBackgroundPath"="\\Internal Storage\\Content\\Wallpaper\\stripes1.png"
"HomeBackgroundPath"="\\Internal Storage\\Content\\Wallpaper\\stripes1.png"
just use spb backup 2, i just flashed a new rom & restored all that stuff including call logs etc.
doesn't that restore your entire registry though? which would sort of negate the purpose of flashing a ROM that the chef has pre-tweaked in the registry
I assume that the contacts displayed in TF3D are stored in a database file, probably in the windows folder. I've looked through pretty much everywere in the registry without success.
yeah me too.. the question is, what database file haha.. this is one of the most annoying things to restore on TF3D after a flash

im assuming its in the ********_manilla files in the \Windows Folder, best of adding a new contact, then sorting the windows folder by modified date in Resco Explorer or something like that.
thanks walshieau.. tried it, but none of those files seem to be changing as far as resco explorer is concerned. in fact, i added contacts a couple of times and don't see which one is changing.
i wanted to export the whole folder to my desktop and then add contacts and export again and use a file comparison software to see the diff, but too many files were protected and stuff so it was so tedious... if anyone figures this out, let me know.. i'm stumped.

i actually just tried backup2 for kicks, but it keeps hanging in the restore phase even though i'm on ROM upgrade mode.. zzz
**update**
apparently that was just a problem with PDAviet ROM that i was trying last night. Restore worked fine on TLR 2.. got all my contacts back and everything. a little scary though since i have no idea what registry entries its restoring, so it could possibly be undoing some tweaks to a new ROM?
it *appears* to me that the photo contacts in TF3D are being stored in the "pim" file under my device. Seems to change in size every time i add one. but am i able to simply copy this file back after a ROM upgrade? seems like i remember something about not being able to do that..

sms lag fix found.No more keyboard lag.

hi guys.i was suffering with a lot of lag when i was writing sms with my x1.i found fix and i want to share with you.
Open Total Commander
Browse to the Windows folder
Look for "thread_sms.htm"
Hit file and go to edit
Scroll down (it's pretty short so it shouldn't be that far) and look for "count" then delete it. It's the only one in there so no need to worry about deleting the wrong one.
Save and restart the phone.that is it.i hope all the chefs will include this fix in their rom.cheers
orginal thread can find here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=73005
just tried this and works a treat yay!
nice find, testing it out right now will update in the future to see if the change was significant or not
the disadvantage with this workaround is, it does not count how nany characters we wrote in our sms. i will upload max 160 character fix soon.cheers
Nice dude!!! testing and its ok.
Thanks
Where is total commander
@YIp712
Total Commander is a file manager which may or may not come installed in your device. If you don't have it, you can download it from their website here.

Thanks! Very useful on Xperia X1. My sms writer works flashfully now!
this was very helpfuul with txt , but in opera lagging its just unbelivable , i gues there must be some opera fix also or i'm wrong ?
Thanks for posting this. I have used it and there are slight improvements to texting with the x1. I have to say though, even after installation I still find that there are times in which my x1 still lag like crazy when I text or use MSN on it.
which registry entries get changed with this cab?
i have some issues with the keyboard...have to press some letters twice etc.
answer please!

TP2 Freezes when typing " I " (!)

Hi,
My TP2 (standard T-Mobile US 6.1 ROM) has been pretty stable - until two weeks ago, when it started freezing (or, more accurately, getting really, really slow, eventually requiring a reboot).
I've narrowed it down to the following:
If you type " I " (space, I, space) the following characters no longer appear on the screen (although the cursor moves). If you close then window (e.g an SMS) and re-open, then the characters are there, and saved - but from then on the device is unstable, and very, very slow until soft-reset.
I wondered if it was something to do with the custom dictionary, but that has a size of zero (which surprises me...), and also I've now set the 'suggest words' count to zero.
I really want to avoid a hard reset (I've got about 30 apps to re-install...), and am hoping that someone else has seen (and fixed) this.
I did search, and found the following old (2007) thread that describes a very similar problem - but no-one posted a solution...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317634
Thanks in advance!

Very odd issue, and I would not know where in the registry to look... Solution - hard reset. Sorry to say. You said you have 30+ apps to install, but if you have the .cab, some Roms have an "Autoinstall" feature as to where you can make an "Autoinstall" folder and put all the cabs in there and they will install when you flash the new rom. If you have purchased the apps from the marketplace, there is an install all feature there as well.

I guess this gets consigned to the 'don't know why and will never be fixed' category...
I've hard reset the device, and taken the opportunity to install Jacko's 'Old School' ROM - now I need to get all those apps installed and configured....
