1. no need to make 2 new threads, ( no need to open new thread actually)
2. make a restore from your backup file, if will come back,
3. never backup? hard reset then.
4. you had gained experience now, don't be silly again.
Good advise from dioxda2
(and dup thread is deleted)

In short I have the new Athena/Ameo, but T-mobile doesn't like anyone using MSN live etc on their web n walk tariff, hence they have excluded it from the ROM.
Question: Do any of you know if it is possible for me to copy/paste the MSN exe from my WM6 Universal and simply dump it into the Windows directory of another WM5 device (e.g. Ameo) in order to use it there?
Do you guys think it is feesable or hazardous? Appreciate any feedback on this.
Did you check if the windows directory has instmsgr.exe or not? Generally the only thing they exclude is the shortcut. They don't delete the actual application.

No, it's not present.
I've tried taking the msn mobile files from the Rom kitchen thread, copied them the the Ameos windows folder then run the instmgr.exe. Nothing happens.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Hi, i found this really cool website a couple days ago
http://wm6.kyphur.org/Files/Today Themes/
It has a lot of themes for WM6. I am not sure where to ask ppl about this but how can i install themes on my WM6? I try searching on the web already but no luck.
Thanks if anyone can help me
I find this VERY hard to believe that you have searched.... but rather than be an ass about it:
Unzip the .tsk files to your /windows directory (on the device)......then run them in file explorer. afaik the theme should show up in start>settings>today.
Hey mrvanx, thanks for replying.
i unzipped the .tsk files in the ///windows directory on my fone
i try to run the three files that i upzipped but it won't load..
also what do u mean by "afaik the theme"????
Thanks for the help!
Once you've unzipped them into the Windows directory, they should then show when you go into Start > Settings > Today and you can select them from there.
I personally keep mine in the root of my SD card (i.e. not in a folder) and they show up fine in the Today settings. Just keeps memory clear on the phone & they also survive a Hard Reset from there.
these files are not zip files,they are tsk files,just rename them to *.tsk and copy them to your windows directory or to your sd card root.
when you open settings/today you will se the themes there.
i did that and it worked for me.
good luck,enjoy
Yea lol.. thats what i was thinking... y my PocketRAR kept on opening the stupid theme.. anyway i got it now.. Thanks all of you for helping me!
I have been terminating Voice command throuhg Celetask everytime I start my htc-s620 with wm6.1. Reason I do it is to free up memory. Id love to remove this voice command permanetly so, I dont have to worry about terminating voice command everytime i start the phone.
I tried searching. With no luck.
Is there a way to completely shut off this feature to free my memory up?
Please let me know.
Dude, using active sync....go to \windows\start up folder
delete the voice shortcut.
ok, well i went into my windows folder and i didnt find anything that was related to voicecommand.. Couldn't find the "startup" folder you were referring to either. Just program files, My documents, application data, mapi, connmgr, docs and settings

when you hit explore in active sync, go to tools > folder options. from there hit the view tab. then in that big list you see, hit the button next to "show hidden files and folders". hit ok. then do what mikey said.
What if you have windows vista and you do not have active sync but rather windows mobile device center.
Ummmm....you do know how to explorer your phone?!?!
Go into the \Start Up folder and delete the shortcut.
hey guys. Been busy lately and forgot to get back on here and update you guys.
I did figure out how to delete the file off my dash. Thanks everybody!
Now I opened a new topic about my skyfire beta not installing. Anyone who can help, check it out!
You guys are the best for helping. Top notch help here!

Hi 2 all!
who can tell me, in which file, registry key,... the favorite people are stored?
br,
Chris
Its actually your pim.vol
Use a file explorer to copy your pim.vol and keep a copy elsewhere. After flashing, disable tf3d, copy and replace.
Your contacts and favorites will be added back to tf3d once your re-enable it from the today screen.

...are you sure about this?
You mean that in this file my fav. people are marked to be shown in tf3d?
It's in My Documents
Not sure where, but when I restore "My Documents" the are restored too in tf3d..
I would check the registry to see if I could find a registry key that's related to TF3D.
Not really a ROM Development problem..

Yes, contacts, favorites and the pictures related to your favorites are stored in the pim.vol
Copy/paste back after a flash and it will set them all back up for you.
You can always use PPC PIMBackup

How do I backup PEOPLE with PIMBackup,can you explain us ?
The only way would probably to backup the correct manila file or registry. Think the poster was thinking you wanted to backup up your normal contacts

Hi all
after some great advice from miami_son I have managed to sort out the mess that was my programs start up page.
sadly i also managed to delete the link file for the file explorer program
try as i might (and being very thick) i cant get it back.
can anyone point me in the direction (or tell me how to do it) to get the file link back
many thanks in advance
Use Total Commander to locate fexplore.exe in the \windows directory and select it with a single click. Click on file in lower left corner of Total Commander to bring up the menu. Click on >>>>>> and then click on create shortcut. Use the tree function to place the file in \windows\startmenu\programs.
Follow Kevin's instructions, works for any .exe file you want to create a shortcut for. But I would just skip creating one for that particular file. For one, Total Commander is a much better file explorer and can do more, and the OEM file explorer can cause you to delete things by accident if you aren't real careful.

I'm not sure, but I think that many programs use the file explorer to open files, rather than opening it themselves. Or at least this appears to be the case.

He didn't delete the program, just the shortcut for it. Once you have Total Commander installed you no longer need the stock shortcut. Like I said, TC is a much better file explorer.
You guys are just brilliant!!!!
Thanks so very much
was on the verge of hard resetting the device to start again!!
thanks again

Delete which shortcuts? Most shortcuts that you see in the start menu are listed in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\.
its the shortcut icons in the programs page
it is accesse by the windows button
its got facebook icons windows market place icones etc
its the icons i want to dump

The shortcuts (*.lnk files) are located in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
The icons for the programs are located (normally) in \Windows.
thanks so how do i delete them?

Any file browser application on the device. File Explorer is on every ROM. You could even do it from your PC if you rather.
Install Total Commander. Unzip file, connect device to PC, run the EXE file.
thanks miami son
am i correct in thinking ( from the advice you gave me about a year ago) that you cant actually delete the program but you can delete the icon file (png?)
thanks all

It sounds like you're just trying to remove some links from your start menu. Is that correct? If it is, then just navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and delete the ones you don't want to appear in the Start Menu. In File Explorer, tap and hold on the one you want to delete until the menu pops up. Select delete and then tap yes. In Total Commander, do the exact same thing. I don't think I can explain that better without making a video of it.
well i would like to delete the progs but I was under the impression that they were installed on the rom and, as such, they cannot be deleted
(certainly when you delete the icon and then do a hard reset the icon re appears)
i will try to combine (my bad) memory and the instructions and see where i can go
thanks all

You can't uninstall apps that are cooked into the ROM whether you use stock or custom ROMs. Deleting the link files as I've instructed will prevent them from showing up in your start menu. If you hard reset, they will be right back where they started.
Thanks for all your help guys
i can start to sort out the phone now
thanks again
