I just hard reset my magician. Since i'm using big storage (my friend did it), only some of the cab files from extended_rom are installed. Now i just found out that my smart dialing, MMS, O2 plus are not included. It was easy to recover those programs since i know the cab files.
However, i cant find the right cab for "Running Programs". Does anyone know which one? Thx.
Sorry for the bad language
Running programs - do you mean in Settings > system > memory > running programs?
If you need a task killer I can send you one or there's many around.

That's the one. Thx . So actually it's not a stand-alone program. Yes i found the running programs.
So, the question is changed now. I need the shortcut to that program. Usually magician has the blue box icon with a picture of someone running. Do you know the shortcut?
Thx.
Just tried to restore that icon from my old backup before it crashed. I thought it was just only a link to some program. But it is not! It is an exe file and after i restored it, click the Running Programs, it says "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename".
Any clues?
My Running Programs app is in the "default_103133" CAB file from my Mini. I run this file after hard reset.
What does that file do? Just open up the running programs control panel?
If you need it back, just type the following into a text file on your PPC
Code:
22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2
and save it as Memory.lnk
Then double click on that file.
Tell me if it works ok.

@vijay
i just wanna return my magician to the default system . that's why i'm so curious to get back that program.
@ampda

Thats right....just install that cab file "default_103133.cab" and you will have your Running Programs app back....that is, if you saved your Ext ROM files before doing the Big Storage patch, or someone can attach that cab file here.
Now my problem is (sorry this might be Off-topic) , how can I have back the AUTOCONFIG for different Telcos, (especially Asian) ? Its also gone after the Big Storage patch. I dont know which of the cab files I need to have it back
anyone have idea or is there a forum for this in Magician?
thanks...
THANK YOU!!! finally i can access my running programs.
anyway, ive another question . let's say i want that program to be installed automatically after I hard reset. how can you do that? so i do not have to restore them manually from my sd card. thx.

To get the menu and icon run O2Auto.sa.CAB, then install the telco(s) you want to be in the autoconfiq menu.
@nsriza, thanks!!! As simple as this, and I can have my Autoconfig back already?
I thought I need to manually edit the autoconfig.txt to change the paths of the cab files?
Btw, I have already installed the cab files for all the Telcos that I need....but not the O2Auto.sa.CAB yet. Is it okay if I install that O2Auto then install again the Telco cabs?
Thanks...
So has anyone knew how to setup auto installation for cab files (eg. MMS, SmartDialing etc) after hard reset? thx
another OOT question...what does autoconfig.txt and config.txt do? and how to use it?
thx
Im assuming your asking for auto installation for after a hard reset using big storage. if you search for "AutoRUn" on this forum you should find a link on how to create an autorun folder on your storage card. you need the autorun.exe (Found in the search for the link) and a folder called 2577 created in the root directory of your storage card. then all you need to do is add all the CABs that you want to auto install after a HR to a ZIP (not Rar) archive and call that archive extROM.zip. then put that in your 2577 directory and hardreset and it will install all the files in the zip. if you havent already installed the cabs you put in the zip it will actually start installing them as soon as you insert the SD card. have a search around you will find lots of info about this subject.

hi i used big storage to convert my german rom (o2 xda mini) to wwe 1.12. now i lost some features like MMS,Smart dialling, Home zone control, O2plus. (as it was the case with you). It would be great if you could share here how did you get them back to work? i mean, i want the procedure to do so. i have a backup of my german rom.
one more question. i dont see the Phone pad option in my text input list after the bigstorage patch. how can i get it back. any suggestions would be so great..
thanx in advance

@visvaram
if you backup ur extended_ROM, u should able to find related cab files, such as MMS**.cab, SMARTDIALING**.cab. Just tap those files and it will be installed automatically. FYI, backup ur cab files first b4 installing.
Im not sure about O2plus and zone files. Anyone care to help?
I have had this installed and running fine.
I re-installed it in order to copy the cab files for the extended rom. I sucessfully copied the cab files but it failed to install on the universal.
I have removed it and tried re-installing several times, but each time it gets to putting the cab files on the device it fails.
Anyone else has theis probelm and found a way of fixing?
Thanks
Steve
Have you tried installing the "hey, don't worry about unsigned cab files" cab file? If not, read the thread on cooking roms with files (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36350) as it has a download for the aforementioned cab file.
I would really like to know how you got the cab files though... I've trawled my system and have been unable to find them so far - are they created in a temp location during install and then removed? Your help would be appreciated!
HNY!
If you installed the licensed version of SPB to your host pc, you can find the cab files under the program files\microsoft active sync directotory or just do a search of your program files directory for all *.cab to locate.
Ahhhh! Excellent, thanks! In order to filter results, I was searching for *spb*.cab so no wonder I couldn't find them! Many thanks and a non-denominational Happy New Year!
Hi folks!
I have an issue that I'm hoping somebody here can help with.
I have a customer for whom I'm developing a custom app for WM5. In discussions about installation/deployment the need came up for the cab installation to be completely automated. What I mean by that is to make sure that once the cab starts executing, no dialogs appear prompting the user for input (i.e. install location). They need this to be completely automated.
Now, I've done my research and found that there is a section called "DefaultInstall" in the .inf file that is used during the build of a cab file that will allow you to specify the installation location and therefore bypassing the pop-up dialog during the execution of the cab file. That's great and will work fine. The problem is that there are also some other cabs that are installed as part of the deployment of the application (third-part API's, SQL CE etc.) that already have their cabs pre-built without a default location specified. This causes the pop-up to appear.
Does anyone know of any workaround for these other cabs? Any way that I can get them to install to a default location so that they don't display the pop-up?
Would extracting the files from these pre-built cabs and re-build them with the DefaultInstall section work?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks!!

Try this http://row1.info/content/view/85/2/
Use a custom install dll
Thanks doedoe!
I haven't tried it out but I will and post the results here.
Anybody else have any ideas?
thx.

thx mestrini,
I remember looking into that and running into similar issues that are discussed on the site that your link points to.
I will give it a shot again and see what happens...
hi i have a little problem...
can i from setup.dll find difference betwen uninstall app and reinstall app??
???????
I have no idea what it is you are trying to do here, but there is no such thing as "reinstalling app".
If you try to run a cab installation over an existing installation it will first go through the uninstall procedure (as best as it can, running programs can not be deleted) then install as usual.

Uninstall removes app without installing it again where reinstall removes app and installs it again. I hope this answers your question.
bleah..
ok but i need to see it from setup.dll
uninstall procedure should remove registry entries but if i simply reinstall app it shouldn't remove registry...
If you want to see what someone else's setup DLL does you need IDA and understanding of ARM assembler.
As for registry it depends: If the registry was added by code in setup.dll then the uninstall function in that DLL should be in charge of removing it.
If the registry was added through the inf file of the cab (not all cabs have setup.dll, it is optional) it will be removed by wceload.exe which processes the cab.
Hey, i tried to install a few apps on my HD2 and it says that my .net isnt good enough to run them.
I would like to know how to install the update and where to find the file please?
Thanks alot!

First post, entry #13.
Hi,
You need the following file;
NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab
I suggest you google it and then copy to your phone to install.
You may need to edit your registry to ensure your phone is using the correct version, refer to;
