No voice command after ROM update

I just updated my Tmobile dash to the RUU_Excalibur_HTC_WWE_Brightpoint_US_1.33.422.1_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_Ship ROM and now the voice commands seems to have disapeared.
In the old TMOBILE phone, I was able to see the app and also click on my headset to activate. Now that setting seems to have disappeared and I get the message "no voice tag setup" (or something like that).
Can anyone help me get this working again? It was a great feature which allowed me to call on the fly using only my headset while leaving my phone in my bag.
Forgive me if I am posting anything in the wrong place or re-posting. I am a newbie to this and forum.
Thanks

When you install the voice command app to the new wm6 HTC ROM, the way its described in this link, it works like a charm, the same way it does on the T-Mobile wm6 ROM. Just follow the instructions to a "T"....................!

THANKS!!! Worked perfectly..
FYI - you have to remove the shortcut from start folder otherwise you will get an error when trying to copy files into the prog folder.
Then paste the shortcut back in.

Yes, that is essentially step 2 in the instructions:
remove the lnk from the Voice Command item in the startup folder​
what is described is changing the extension of the shortcut by removing lnk

yea its weird.........
i restart computer and everything. still can't get the files in there.....
any way u can make me a new rar.......

I can't extract either, I'm using Universal Extractor. Whenever I extract, all I get is a readme type file.

I extracted the folder from the second link. When I opened that folder, there is another folder called Voice Command DASH. I opened that folder, and then copied all 34 files to the \Program Files\Voice Command folder. When i try to copy the files from the second link to the program files\Voice Command folder, I get the following message:
cannot copy enu_g2p: There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use.
Any ideas?

i had to open it in winrar and repair and remake it.
and then it would extract again.

Funny thing is that in the \Windows\Startup folder, I don't see the .lnk. I have unchecked the box to hide extensions for known file type. Also, I just try and copy the shortcut from the Startup folder to my computer desktop and then soft-reset the phone. Everytime I soft reset the phone, it still places the shortcut in the \Windows\Startup folder.

I finally got it to work!!!
Instead of renaming the shortcut from the \Windows\Startup, I went and just copied it to desktop. However, after a few times, I followed the instructions and instead of renaming the shortcut again and adding .lnk to the end, I just dragged and dropped from my desktop to the \Windows\Startup folder.

How to Unsign a dll file?

I am trying to unsign a bronzeres.dll. How do you do that. I have Ricky's Rom tools with the unsigner.exe, but when I click on it on my pc, it opens the DOS window and closes it in like 1 second. I don't know how to work this thing. Please help, someone?!?

You got the right tool, you just need to use it the right way. I take it you've never used DOS applications ?
What you do is, you go to the start menu and go up to run. Type "cmd". Using the command "cd c:\xxxx" (where xxx is the name of the folder you want to go to), go to the folder the unsigner.exe tool is located in. It might be easier to move it to a simple folder on the c drive like "1" and then just type "cd c:\1".
After that, just type "unsigner bronzeres.dll" and it will give you a message saying it removed the certificate

IIRC, you can also drag the desired .dll onto the unsigner icon. Try it. ?

He's right, that will work also. You just don't really have to time to check the confirmation message whether the dll was unsigned or not, or if it was already unsigned...

I tried that, but it was unsuccessful. I did get it to work though. I had to get a file called unsigned.bat and drag my file into that folder and the unsigner to that folder, click on the bat and viola,it worked. I guess it must be a Vista thing. Oh yeah, by the way to Organic, I have used DOS, but man, it's been a while I must admit. I have almost forgotten how extremely simple of a program it really is. Kinda made me want to start using it again to do some simple programs, anways, thanks to all of you for the input. Without your help, I would have given up on this and said F**K it. Now my screen looks sharp as hell. I'll post my dll and screen pics and cpr files soon, in case anyone would like my mods that I have made. Holla!!

outerdepth, DOS is a not a program, it is an operating system. Of course now a days all you get is a modified version of MSDOS 5.0 in a virtual machine, but it is still not a program.

Certificate copy
Hello Folks,
How can i Copy Certificate from ORIGINAL MUI file to my own made UnSign MUI file?
How can i use ORIGINAL MUI file on WM ?
(Not by cooking new one, making a cab for it)
Thanks!

Changing the Start Button Icon

I've seen a lot of people asking how folks have changed the Windows logo to the HTC one and so on. I am one of those people!
There's a thread over in the Diamond Forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307, that discusses altering the taskbar icons.
I've had a read of that but it doesn't appear to discuss the start button. I've currently got a cab installed that gave me coloured icons on the taskbar but also the 3d MS Office style start button. I like the icons but not that start button.
Is there anyway someone could provide an idiot/noob style guide for altering that icon. I'd love to have the Vista start button on my HD (attached image) but have no idea how to go about it aside from I think it has something to with .dll files.
Can anyone explain this? Anyone? I know there would be a lot of people grateful for it! I've Googled and used the search but just cannot seem to find anything!
I've attached a mock-up of my ideal; I've got the coloured icons, just the start button to go!

I think....
the explanation is to edit the shellres.192.dll file here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2791169&postcount=3
using the process here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2791165&postcount=1
No?
EDIT: I am going to try myself this evening with your very nice icon...will let you know how it goes, if you don't beat me to it!

I believe you can do it with Wisbar.
Wisbar is not free.

you had a chance at it yet? did it work?

...........

This is the thread I used to alter the Windows logo to a HTC logo among other things in this thread. It's dead easy,
1) Unsign the file using Unsigner linked to in the thread further up (on page 2 of the Unsigner thread there's a .bat file that I found gave a better idea of whether it had worked or not).
2) Open the file in Reshacker and go to Icon on the left hand side and click it to expand it. Go to number 292, click it and it will expand to show 1033. Click 1033 and it should be the start menu icon. Right click on 1033 and select Replace Resource. Select Open File With New Icon and find your new (resized) icon. Double click it and it will show a preview of new and old. Click Replace in the bottom right corner.
3) Save the newly modified file.
4) Sign the modified file using Ssigner linked to in the thread above. CHECK THE TEXT FILE IT CREATES TO MAKE SURE IT SIGNED OK. Don't forget this bit as it will mean a hard reset if you do (as I learnt).
5) If you've not installed SDKCert.cab some time in the past. download it from here, copy it to the phone and install it.
6) Copy the file to the Windows directory on the phone using Resco Explorer or Total Commander.
7) Reboot the phone.

how did you copy shellres.192.dll? it says "Acces denied" even with resco. No chance to renaming also

To get the file in the first place you need a program called ROM Extractor on the phone to get the file from ROM. There are also different varients of the ROM for different locales. There's a description in the link above.

thanks for your efforts but seems a little complicated TotalCommander did the trick, resco seems to have some security check problems
anyway, unsigner doesn't work so i'm stuck

Try the .bat file in the second page of the Unsigner thread. Copy Unsigner, the .bat file and the file you want to unlock to the same directory and double click the .bat file. Also, because the file is from ROM make sure it's not marked as Read Only when you get it to your PC before unsigning it. If it's from ROM they're usually Read Only for a start.

Not yet. Just got back from work. I need a different job...
I will try tomorrow. I have been meaning to give this s shot for a while now, and the icon you posted is what I have been looking for.

the bat only automize the process... It doesn't work anyway as it still use UnSigner

Do you have the cab to change the other icons? I had a quick look on the diamond thread but couldn't find the exact ones you have! Thanks.

True, but when I tried Unsigner on it's own it didn't give any feedback as to what it was doing (or if it did I missed it) so I changed 150+ icons only to find it hadn't been unsigned and therefore couldn't be resigned. At least with the batch file I can check it's been properly unsigned before making changes.
Does it give you any error messages when you try Unsigner?

that's the point: no errors from unsigner, but resourcehacker can't open my file (not valid bla bla bla)

In which case I'd say the file hasn't copied across properly from the phone. Reshacker should be able to open the file and allow editing even if it's still signed. I'd try ROM Extractor to copy the file from ROM to elsewhere on the phone and then copy that across to the PC.

uhm seems reasonable
but I don't want to extract all my whole rom for a stupid dll... I extracted with total commander, isn't supposed to work this way?

Nope, certain ROM files can't be copied using normal file copy programs. I've found that they try and copy, then say the "File already exists, do you wish to replace?" and then whatever you select you're left with a 0k file with nothing in it. The ROM extractor doesn't copy the whole ROM. When you launch it you get a list of all the ROM files. Double click the one you want to extract, give it a location (\ usually for the root directory of the phone) and a name and click Extract.

Ok, I will try. But how to replace when modified? If I can't even read it, how will I replace it?

tryin to Flash threw SD Card

i just tried to DL it valkyrie.ftp v6.2.25009TR2.5 but when i xtracted it. a RUU_signetr2.5 page Icon came on
before it was the same icon but i could just open it n rename like im supposed too.
when i try to Open it to rename it just says windows can not open file ?
i have universal xtractor? can some1 point me to the rite direction thank u

once extracted, most custom roms have theese 2 files in their folder: customRUU.exe and *****.nbh (where **** is the name of the rom)
If your trying to flash via microSD what you do is rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh, copy it to the root of your microSD card, then put the device in bootloader (hold down volume button while powering the device on)
From there, simply follow the prompts on the screen and it should work.

thanks
im aware of the steps. but like i said once i xracted it. thr RUU file came up. i tryied to open it so i could rename but it says windows can not open file.

Do you have to actually open it to rename the nbh file? For me I just always click on the name and I rename it from there, without even having to open it. Not sure why you're having this problem...

[Q] how to push bootanimation.zip into oxygen rom?

oxygen has second boot screen until "update-oxygen-1.0.1-signed",so i want to push bootanimation.zip into oxygen rom,i did like this..i built a file under data\local ,then i put the "bootanimation.zip" into the file ,then signed it,but i have always failed,i need somebody's help.......
i am a rookie and i does not know many english words,please forgive me,

What I always do is to open up the .rar (not unzipping it, but really just double click it), and poke around until I find the folder where the bootanimation.zip is.
Then I delete that .zip, and then using WinRar, click "Add" on the top left, and selected your desired bootanimation.zip, all of this WHILE still in the same folder where the original bootanimation was in.
When done, just sign it, then flash it as you would a normal Rom.

thank you for replying my post~
i have another question ,that is , i did not find "bootanimation.zip " in the oxygen rom ,maybe i did not find it in the right place,but oxygen rom did not have a folder called data/local...

Right, Oxygen seems to be a new breed of ROMs (hence, the no data/local), which I honestly haven't have the luxury of time to try yet (damn, lol).
Anyway, if you searched the oxygen thread, this post would have come up.
Try it and see

It's in /system/media
If you are S-OFF you can just adb push C:\asd\asd\asd.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip while the phone is running.
Otherwise you need to do it in recovery.
But wm's method is really the easiest way if you want to change your bootanimation before you have flashed an update.
While I'm at it: could you guide me to a thread/site where I can find infos regarding signing zip files? I only found really old threads :S
Thank you.

I cannot remember the creator of the program, but I used this thing called autosign.bat, which I got off the xda forum.
I'm sure you can find it around somewhere in the forum.

actually,i did it in this way,first,you need have the program called java, after you download it ,you have to set a java's environment which you can search it by yourself,attention: if you do not know much java languages ,advice you to install it in the default location. second,you need a Auto-sign tool which you can also find it by searching in xda. Then you should unzip the Auto-sign.rar under anywhere you can find it .
After you have done all of these,you can make your own rom !(all of the work below is in the unzipped folder called Auto-sign)
put the rom you have reformed into the folder called "Auto-sign",then ,you need to rename the rom to "update",after that ,double click it the Sign.bat in the folder,wait for awhile,you will get another rom called "update_signed",it is the rom you can flash into your Desire. English is not my mother tongue, if you can not understand what i have said, please reply me with simple and exact words, then, we can communicate with eachother.
