Backlight.exe & Power.exe.. Please?

Hi all,
Havn't posted for a while but I am still here! My exec seems to be running pretty fast now, using ozVGA
Anyways, just installed 2 patched *.exe files into windows directory (Backlight.exe.0409.mui.exe and Power.exe.0409.mui.exe) but me being stupid, I forgot to make a back up of the ORIGINAL backlight.exe and power.exe (located in the Windows DIR on the phone)...
So could somebody PLEASE upload me them two files, as I really need to restore them because using ozvga is hurting my eyes at the moment!
Thank you!

Not sure if this is what you want, since they are ROM files.
They originally had Read-Only, Hidden & System attributes set, but don't know if those will survive being compressed with WinZIP.
HTH

Exactly what i needed.. but I have no such luck of getting them onto the exec! i remove the attributes and it still doesn't let me copy!! DOH! any ideas? and thank you for such a quick reply

Sorry, wait a minute... That's better just got my spare (hopefully working) brain cell out of cold storage. :roll:
Both files are shown as "ROM" files if I look at their properties in the \Windows\ folder using Resco Explorer, so, errr..... won't they already be there if you delete whatever you've currently replaced them with?
Unfortunately, neither ActiveSync Explore, nor the PDA's File Explorer appear to allow you to overwrite an existing system file on the PDA. Resco's Explorer does allow this, although you get a message saying that the world will probably end if you do. I just tried copying another program into Windows as Backlight.exe. Then deleted my program, and the original was available again. But as mentioned, not posible with File Explorer, nor ActiveSync Explore.

Ok, simply by deleting the two files restored the default versions and fixed my problem.
Thanks for your advice, astage.

Contacts are blank in VGA mode, Notes tab is ok.

I am having a problem getting my contacts to show. When I view a contact, all I see is a blank "Summary" page (tab). On the Notes tab, I can see whatever data should be there.
I had problems with ozVGA until I discovered that I needed to use the .92.DLLs that were on this site and not on the ozVGA's author's site. When I did copy these .92.dll files into the windows dir, all seemed great. However, at the end of the copy process, I had a pop-up that stated something (unknown which file) could not be copied and that either I ran out of space or a file was Read Only/ In Use / ROM or something to that effect. I checked each .92.dll file and all seemed fine as far as the RO attribute being off.
Does anyone have a clue what might be causing this? I was thinking outres.96.dll might be the culprit. Any ideas?
Here is what I think is important to know:
ROM info below in tag.
VGA via ozVGA (http://oz.sciox.org/OzVGA053.zip)
Started with VgaRes.zip (http://oz.sciox.org/VgaRes.zip)
Ended up putting VGA 1824 071105.zip on to fix lost and altered icons.
Thank you,

These are not the correct files. There is another zip on the FTP server named VGA_AKU2.zip. If I remember correctly it's in the
ftp://xda-developers.com/Universal/Tools_Programs/ folder, but I can't get to the ftp server at the moment but you'll find it.

Thank you very much, Joannaex!

Contacts shows blank
I had the same problem with blank contacts because I had issues with Voice Command. There was a suggestion to replace the outres.96.dll file with a newer version. When I did this, i started to notice the problem.
I'm assuming that this file is specific to the hardware you are using, maybe that is where I messed up. I am using a rare Benq P51. I tried renaming outres.96.dll to something else, then reboot the phone hoping that it would recreate itself. It did!
Tried contacts again and it is fully functional.
Hope that helps.

Start Button Sound

Does anyone know how to disable the start button click sounds, you can disable all other sounds but that one, well what i could find anyways, if anyone knows, that would be great.

The default click sound for the Start Menu (and other menus, like the soft-key menus) is \Windows\menupop.wav - or WM5_Menupop.wav if you've installed the WM5 sounds CAB.
You can't delete the file, but you can use File Explorer to rename it (e.g. XX{WM5_}menupop.wav - depending on what it's called), then do a Soft Reset and everything will be quiet
Cheers,
Mark.

Hi Mark,
Thank you, i have found the file but i cannot even rename it is there something i have to do so that i can edit system files?
Thank you

Ahh....it depends on what ROM you're running as to whether the File Explorer will let you get to system files.....
If you're not running one of the WM6 cooked ROMs, or you're still on WM5, then you've not got many options open to you.....
You could get a copy (There's a 14-day trial available) of Resco Explorer 2007 (www.resco.net) and use that to rename the file.
Hope that helps,
Mark.

Hi Mark,
Thank you again for your help, i will try out the software and let you know if it worked or not.
Really Appreciate your help.
Rob

No luck
i dont suppose there is a registry key :/

Help Please. Cabs not going into My documents

Hope someone can help.
As usual i am putting new cabs into my documents on the pc and syncing. But when i open file explorer, these new cabs are now showing as windows files that cannot be open as oppossed to cabs as they used to be.
I'm a bit of a noob ,so i'm not sure i have explained this very well but hopefully someone can help.
Thanks in advance.....

sounds like you are extracting the cabs to me, i just have a folder on my sd card i call general crap, and i copy all my cabs in there, go to file explorer sd card then general crap then click on what i want to install

Thanks very much for the swift response. Its very odd that this has started happening all of a sudden. Some cabs ie wallpapers, are going into my documents, but others as i said seem to now be windows files and not cabs, once they are in my documents and cannot be opened, very very frustrating !! I'll try what you said this evening and see if it works, but i cannot understand why it would all of a sudden be extracted when thats never been the case before ?
I'm sure i must have changed something, but i wish i new what
Cheers again for your help. I would be lost without this site, and my HD2 would be no-where near as much fun.

Thanks for the help, but it didn't work. Files still appear as window type files that i cannot open instead of the usual cabs. Wish i new whats changed, but unless anyone has a suggestion, i can feel a dreaded hard reset coming on !!!

Can you not just explore your device with activesync and copy the files manually, rather than using some method of synching? Or, connect as a USB drive and copy the files to your memory card. Either they're not actually cab installers, or the sync process is doing something to them.

Just tried both your suggestions, but with no luck. But thanks anyway for the reply. Wish i new what has changed but something has .

What actually happens then when you click a cab file? Do any old cab files work, or is it now all cab files that won't work?

It says " The file ????? cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file "
You can see before you try to open it that its not right, as i say , it appears to be a window file not a cab, once it goes on my device, though judging by the size of the file it is all there !!!
Wallpaper cabs seem to be working for some reason though.

Using your PC, browse to the folder on your phone and see what the file is called. If it doesn't look like a cab file should, then it probably won't have a .cab extension. (I only say this because the file explorer on the phone does not show file extensions. Your PC may not be set up to do so either though. The alternative is to use Total Commander or Resco to see what the file extension is.)
Can you give me a link to a cab file that doesn't work for you?

Shortcuts to start menu folders is one of the cabs. As above .
I'll have a play with the other things youv'e said.
Thanks again for you help.

Don't thank me till we've fixed it
Did you first unzip the file in that linked thread?

No, i'm putting it on unzipped as i normally do.
Looking at them on the pc, they appear as normal .

Well the link you gave me is a zip file with a cab file in it, so you would need to unzip it first. Cab files are actually a format of compression, so it's likely that a cab file and a zip file would have the same icon on your PC. It's for reasons like that that I always make sure to have file extensions switched on on my PC.
Try unzipping it and copying the contents to your phone and see how you get on with that.

You are a life saver. Now I can say thank-you very much, that worked perfectly. This website is brilliant for those of you who know what your doing and for those like me who just like to play with their device and make use of the knowledge on this site.
Thanks again.

You're welcome mate. Glad you got it sorted.

Problem with HTC Touch Diamond2 Registry

Hi guys
While looking through my registry using Total Commander, my phone had a little fit and decided to rename a folder. I didn't see what the folder was called before my phone called it ,, and then crashed.
Now nothing is working properly, such as Comm Manager or my signal, I assume because they are pointing to the folder that has been renamed, and which needs to be changed back to what it should be called.
I would attach 2 pics of the problem - the first of the parent folder and where it sits in the registry, the second of the folders that appear in the problem folder - but as a new user I can't, so hopefully I can PM these?
Does anyone have any idea what the folders in \\\registry\HKLM should be called so I can change it back to what it should be? All I know is that it starts with a letter around m-p.
I really don't want to have to hard reset.
Thanks in advance for your help!

You have;
MUI, contains 2 keys for SysLang
nls, contains subfolder Overrides
Platform, contains 2 keys for Provxml

I've got the MUI folder already, but thanks for replying

What about nls and Platform?
You said m-p, right?

I have those as well. I assume it's m-p due to what folders I saw before it crashed. I guess it could be a folder around that area though
Cheers for your help

I gave in - hard reset it was!
