How to delete/modify a wm5/wm6 windows rom file ?

Hi guys,
I'd like to modify a file from the windows folder.
I tried with TotalCommander and as the file is on the ROM, it says unable to delete/replace file
Is there a way to modify or replace this file ? I heard about making a cab file to replace the file but some help would be great
Thanks for your help

There is no way to delete or modify these files.
What you can do is copy your own file with the same name over it. The copy will actually reside in your storage memory and the system will use it until deleted or until you hard reset.
Note that if you want to replace system files on WM 5 / 6 you will need to sign them.
I think it would be better if you tell us what exactly you are trying to do as there may be a simpler way or an existing solution.

It's solved I tried with another rom and it works, I can replace the file.

[Q] Help with JBED and J2ME and more

I am very very new to this and so excuse me if I make mistakes. I am not a developer but an end-user and I love your forum. The way it is
organized and explanations given.
Here is my problem:
1. How do I transfer files from my PC to my Samsung Galaxy III? I have ES Explorer but can't find a way to do it. I have rooted
my phone.
2. How do I copy apk and jar files to :\?
3. What do I need on my phone to make jar files and apk files run?
Thank you.

1. connect phone to pc and transfer files manually (as a media device. must have usb debug mode selected on phone), through kies/kies air or via a 3rd party program like airdroid
2. same technique as above
3. apk files can be accessed in the es explorer you have on your phone. select the apk and hit "install"

[Q] Opening zip file attachments

I am trying to open / save a mpeg 4 video file that I converted from an avi file that I compressed into a zip file. I email the file to myself through gmail. When I click on the file I get a message that says I can't open or save this file. The same file can be opened on my desktop. I have the same issue on my phone which is also an android. I am running kitkat on the Nexus & Jellybean on my phone. Maybe I'm missing something or do I need a specific app to open the file ?

Last I recall avi files dont compress much from a zip.
Plus you would have to deal with the zip file, lets say 300mb, then extract it, to another 300mb or so.
I think you would be better off just sending the avi file as is.

All you need to do is connect your nexus as a media device through the storage settings. (Make sure USB debugging is turned off in developer options). And then drag the uncompressed version over to your nexus from your computer. No need to email it if you have a computer. Make a folder called movies (don't have to just easier). And then download mxplayer from the play store of you haven't already.

Google is forbid us to save potential harmful attachment, including zip files.
So, If you insist using email, you need to open web browser and go to gmail website, login, and download the attached file.
Your file will be downloaded as downloadfile.bin.. You need to rename using file explorer to donwloadfile.zip, and then open & extract that file.
I'm using kitkat, and this method works for me.

[Q] Open .face files on pc

Hello everyone, I would like to know if it's possible to open files with .face extension on a PC with Win or OSX.I tried unsuccessfully with xn viewer.

Try renaming to .zip and use 7Zip , Winzil or WinRar to open the file.

If you use 7Zip, you don't even have to rename it. It's that cool of a program that it'll let you extract anything that is extractable simply by right clicking on it.

Thanks for the tip.I can extract the files but I was hoping to see immediately the animated clock.Maybe one day there will be a program for PC similar to Facer in order to edit faces for the smartwatch.

Someone once mentioned a program that did exactly that. I can't remember what it's called now, but it was some ambitious name for the software.

Watchface-Studio

Thank you for the suggestion LazyT !!.

rename the .face to .zip then you can extract the info reverse step to make back to a .face and install Note make sure to turn off the "Hide extensions for known file type" in Folder view options..

Or use my program

My Files App

The My Files app is unable to rename the extension on files. Is there a workaround for this? Some files that do not download fully have an extension of .temp on them and I'd like to rename them to get rid of the .temp however My Files doesn't allow this. All I can change is the first part of the filename. I did use ES File Explorer to rename the files properly but then I want to move these files to my SD Card which ES is unable to do. Would be nice if My Files could just rename the extension.

No my files not able to change extension u can only change extension,copy-paste into device via 3 rd party app... wait for lollipop it remove encryption from sd card...and the present state u have to use both apps simultaneously
