FTP Uploads Folder

I was browsing through the ftp and it appears there are tons of stuff in the Universal Uploads folder. If someone in here is able to verify that all the stuff in there is good (well good as in meaning no virus's or fake files) then let me know i will jump in and move the stuff into "Safe Heaven". Since im not a Universal user i cant verify them myself, but i do want to get the ftp cleaned up a bit so its easier to find the stuff people want.
Universal Upload Folder

Most of the AKU3 ROMs directory is ok. "Uni_AKU3_WWE". I have try Indra, Ivan & Helmi. My friend tried Jwrights.
Most of the Radio directory is ok. "Radio". I have used the 1.14.10 & the 1.13.00
HELMI_UNIVERSAL_VISTA_BOOTSREEN_PACK.rar is ok.
Seems like a lot of stuff are missing or is it moved to somewhere?

Hi, I can verify Helmi's rom AKU3.5 latest version, radio 1.14.10, CreateBootScreenPackage.rar and MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (under Uni_Tool folder) are all working and free of virus.
I'd like to have CreateBootScreenPackage.rar under Universal folder out of Uploads cause I'm planning to link it from Universal's wiki.

I understand the need to clean up the ftp folders but if the files are moved away from their present folders then almost every link to files in the upload folder will be invalid. That means that allot of users will be asking again and again for the files. Just thought I'd share.

Then they will have 2 options:
1. People can update their links to the point to the Universal folder and not the upload folder.
2. People can look be proactive and look in the Universal folder for what they are looking for.
By moving them to the regular universal folder it will prevent people from deleting files that may be of use. I am probably going to start moving files today!

Yeah. I believe you're right. I completely forgot about the fact that the Uploads folder is open to the users. Sorry about that.
By the way, have you seen the WM5NewMenu and the Close app software in any of the folders? Thanks

New App for the Universal Tools-Programs Folder
Hi. I was looking for this software, the WM5NewMenu software and a member gave it to me. I've installed it and it's working great. Here's the link to the forum and I've attached it as well.
Btw if you get the CloseApp software please post me the link. Thanks.
It's post number 428

Orange Menu
You should also put up the Orange Today Menu from the following link. I've tried this out as well. Thanks.

Tool_and_programs folder in Uploads folder
I have added a folder in the uploads folder called "Tools_and_programs".
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Tools_and_programs/
In that folder I have put in four programs:
Currency_Converter_2005.zip: This is a free and really good program I found online.
ftp://xda:[email protected]_and_programs/Currency_Converter_2005.zip
OxiosMemory-CloseApp.zip: This is the close app and hibernate app that is included in most of the AKU ROMs.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Tools_and_programs/OxiosMemory-CloseApp.zip
spv_m3100_orange_homescreen_194.zip: This is the Today screen from the Orange ROMs.
ftp://xda:[email protected]_programs/spv_m3100_orange_homescreen_194.zip
WM5NewMenu.CAB: This is the program/tool from most of the AKU ROMs.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Tools_and_programs/WM5NewMenu.CAB
I have put up these programs to share with the community. However until it's moved to the main Universal folder out of the Uploads folder I am not held responsible for any manipulation to these files. The modified by date on the files when i put them up were: 24.01.2007 3:31PM for the Currency zip file while the other three were: 24.01.2007 3:20PM.

Where is radio 1.14? I am looking at ftp://[email protected]/Universal/Radio/ and the highest radio is 1.13 and it says T-Mobile Germany. Is it safe to use also when not in Germany? And were is 1.14?

FYI:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/Radio

Here's the working link
Radio in upload folder
The date on the file matches the one that I have on my PC and which is installed on my set so I'm guessing it's the same. Could have sworn that was in the Universal folder instead of the Uploads. There's a Radio named "1.4.10" ... I'm guessing this is a typo? Since it's in the main Universal folder that means that its real? Anyone try that file?

The date on 1.4 is 15/11/2005, the date on 1.14 is 23/10/2006 and the contents differ.... so I guess one is indeed 1.4 rather than a typo!

I searched the Microsoft site for the knowledge base file and well it's a Wireless LAN API fix/patch/program. It's used on a Windows XP machine so you should delete it. I have not idea why someone put it there. Must have been by accident.

Permission Denied !
It Seems That I don't Have Access To The folder !
How-Come ?

[Q] Original notification sound is missing

Hey mates,
unfortunately my Desire deleted the entries in settings-tone
After some restarts most of the standard ringtones and my own ones are back, but the one called "standard_ringtone_ " and a number (if I remember correctly) is missing. It was set from start as SMS, email, aso. notificationtone. Where can I get it from?
I tried the HTC e-club and also to extract it from an original ROM, but I can't open it as it's an exe...
Can anyone upload the file for me or link me an RUU that doesn't consists of an .exe and where I can extract it from.
Maybe the notification tone is also ROM based so maybe it's limited to the T-Mo UK ROM

*push

Ey mates, I need to push this again as I am used to the ringtone
It's exact name is "receive_message_128" and it was within my ROM (stock T-Mo UK)
Can please someone with the same ROM search for it and upload it on some hoster or here to the forum?

At the last i made my custom ROM,now comes the questions?

Hello, atlast after 3days of download and work i have made a custom Rom that has my name on it with HTC Desire HD stuff and updates but now what i need to ask is :
1) how can i put my name Rom name in the Notification like RCMix or the others?
2) any easy way to make boot screens or animations or so found but that i can edit or anything?
3) any way to make a custem theme there is only the online thing and sadly i dont knw how to use it or its limited, i want like AuraxTSense is it possible?
4) if i have a update.zip file that has in it an .apk can i take it and add it to the app section and it will work normaly?
that is it for now thanks a lot for all the help i get and links....

To add your own version number, open the build.prop file and add it to the end of the 'Software version' line

To build themes from scratch, I believe that you'd have to rip apart the res-framework.apk.

mmm ill give this a try and see what i can reach but are there tools to change or its just rip and have fun

If you change the .apk to .rar you can extract and see some jpegs and whatnot in their folders. This should be the one to edit.
Then again, these are the things I've picked up from the chatter between the more senior and tech-savvy.

Maybe some tweaking possible...

I already tryed to increase the max. resolution to 8000x8000px for jpg a week ago but it didnt worked
This file exists 2 times and I flashed them correctly to the wave (tested with sTunes after flash), the limits seems to be set somewhere else...
The image sizelimit is also higher than 4096000 byte (or what it is) - about 10 mb.

I would have liked to tweak this setting to 200 or more and see but unfortunately there are not that many good apps to install.
<MaxInstallCount>
<NativeApp value="300"/>
<NativeWidget value="50"/>
<JavaApp value="-1"/>

Btw, what does this Java value mean ? Could it be that it controls whether to show icon in Menu or not ?

@ st0rmi
Thanks.
Yes, via sTune this file is twice.
It seems writeprotected files are most in folder SystemFS... as Backup.
If you check via TriX Firmware files. Then Contents.xml is in *.FFS... maybe edit before flashing. Then changes in both files on handset.
Not tested yet...
@ rex4u
At the moment I have nothing changed in this file, so no idea what happens.
Maybe soon few tests...
Best Regards

@adfree: Yeah thats what I have done
I just used sTunes to copy the contents.xml back to my pc and view if the edited xlm are really on my phone because it didnt worked...

@adfree
No bro' I was offering my own suggestions to this configuration file.
It might allow us to install more than 100 apps in phone and show in Menu.
Second it might show Java apps icons in Menu.
My 2 cents

xml parser
please help me
a want to parser punker xml data base.

it's into the 'app counter' field, '-1' may be means 'unlimited' number of java apps installable, but I haven't read yet the whole xml... anyway if it is editable it's an interesting thing..

I saw that file a while ago while looking for something inside my phone (very special thing that made me to copy the whole phone)
there is a lot of interesting things but i never tried tweaking it
Maybe if someone have enough knowledge to add few new extensions and test them
Also removing some stupid limits would be awsome
Sorry i've no time to test that with you guys but would appreciate results
Best Regards

You dont need modif ffs or other just use pfs file to modif what you want and in real time direct phone flash pfs file and not have write protect problem
Just says Thank
Example file : dont give attention of boot img cause i dont take time to do it in 800x480 but its 400x240 then its make bug but with pfs file you can upload anything you want to change !!!
Good hack !!!
Maybe with this you can create dual boot or i dont know what a pro smoker can do, you can also try to put her rc2 or rc1 directory i dont try it !!!
Download example, in this one you can see SystemFS and Registry directory, off course you can put her all directory you want to flash pfs, using trix to modified or wave remaker more faster :
https://rapidshare.com/files/809973956/Circle.pfs
An idea its like you can make your one firmware with personal Widget installed and other idea welcome....Just take file registry and Widget folder on phone and put it on PFS

[Q] Question to developers ?

Hi,
I am trying to create a theme for Note 2 with Note 3 mods. I am currently using DN3 v3 rom.
These are my questions :
1. I would like to know where installed apps from play store keeps there icons "I want to change them"
2. Where are all the stock apps "pre installed apps" located ?
3. Do i need to do any xml programming when replacing the app icons ?
Please tell me the path to those locations if you know it :fingers-crossed:

Each app is an apk file, and it contains icon(s). So there is no central place where all icons are stored.
the best you can do is to create an iconpack theme. just download one (it is apk file as well) and see how it's done. apk's are just signed-zip files, so you can open them (unzip) with any app like winzip or total commander (it is harder putting it back together). There are a lot of iconpacks available, just google it.
