Hello, I have set my T-Mobile Phone Pad back to the default skin of Windows Mobile 5 but unfortunately it still shows the T-Mobile logo in the upper left corner. How can I get rid of that too ?
Not sure if this works for the Universal but give it a try!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...postorder=asc&highlight=operator+logo&start=0
it seems that all I have to do is rename the carrierlogo.gif Unfortunately total commander does not allow me to. What do I need to do to rename it ?
Ok, I also try to replace the Logo but it does not work. How can I overwrite/change files, which are stored in ROM?
any clues?
you should be able to overwrite it I would think, many others have reported the ability to overwrite the file in rom, it just comes back on hard reset.
try using resco explorer and viewing files in rom.
you may also have to perhaps consider disabling the phone application (flight mode) to disable the launching of the phone application on startup.

This has happened to me several times.
I am unable to delete files properly on file explorer. When i try to delete a file, the wait icon (rotating colors) shows up. Then it never goes away!
When i force the program to close and turn it back on again, the file's gone so i know something's happening.
I tried waiting for the wait icon to go away but it never does. I left my XDA alone for 3 hours and it was still rotating.
Anyone have the same experience?
Programs installed on my device are:
SPB Pocket Plus 2.2
PHM Reg Editor
Microsoft Voice Command 1.1
NoviiRemote
Help!!!

try using total commander insted it dont have those issues
Has it ever happened to you as well? Ran perfectly a couple of days ago...
Mine tends to be fine when I first rebuild it (and touch wood, some 5 weeks after it's still ok) but I definitely know what you mean. The file does eventually delete, but things such as deleting folders on either the phone or storage card usually involve closing File Explorer, opening and opening again before they disappear.
Yep,
I had that problem
Had to do a soft reset and all was fine, never had it again
Yes! I had that problem loads.
What Rom are you using?
I dont have any of the software you listed, and my problems didnt match the installation of any new software on my device either so I think its a rom problem not software.
I had 1.66 and no problem, then when I upgraded to a hacked 1.72 rom it happened all the time. I found you could delete files via the pc on usb, but not from pocket file explorer.
Reseting the device wouldnt make the problem go away, but a hard reset did.
After a few weeks it was back though.
Ive just gone up to the latest official o2 rom, ill let you know if it happens again.
I've recently started getting this problem on 1.60... It's been fine ever since 1.60 came out until a few weeks ago...
If I delete a file, close explorer and then go into memory and stop explorer (which then says it isn't responding), i can restart explorer and the file will be gone....
Another thing i noticed is that if i copy a new file onto my device using ActiveSync and have explorer running, it doesn't update to show the new file until i stop it and restart it!!
GSFinder+
Use GSFinder+ instead of File Explorer. Its a freeware utility. You can download it from http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/gsfinder.shtml .
It copies/deletes files quite quickly.
ive got the problem, do a soft reset WITHOUT any sd card in..works fine then
hi,
i am a former palm user and proud new owner of a spv m600. i have been surfing around but still am a little lost.
how does one delete one of the standard programs delivered with the device. for example, orange has delivered internet explorer or zip. i would like to delete them and add a different program, but i do not see them in the unistall list.
how is it done ? thanks in advance,
scott
u cant, those files are in rom and belong to the operation system.
You can possibly
Check out this link. You have to do a hard reset first
http://wiki.howardforums.com/pocketpc/index.php/Selectively_Bypassing_the_Extended_ROM
Device manufacturers are beginning to place unnecessary third party software preloaded onto PDA's, the same way computers come from the factory. Unfortunately, this new software is often buggy and of questionable usefulness. Also, there is no clean way to remove some of this third party software once it is installed. The best way to keep it from making your device buggy is never to install it in the first place.
Unfortunately, since many devices have no way to edit the Extended ROM since it is locked, we need a way around it. This How to details how we can get around the Extended ROM by soft resetting before it gets a chance to install and then selectively running the cab files with a nifty little program called Total Commander.
1. The first step to selectively bypassing your Extended ROM is to download Total Commander from here:
http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab
You need to take this file and place it on a storage card on your device. You can do this by syncing your device, opening up my computer double clicking on mobile device, double clicking on My Windows Mobile-Based Device, and then Double Clicking on the Storage Card. Copy the CAB file there, but DO NOT INSTALL IT ON YOUR SYSTEM.
2. The next step is hard reseting your device. Since all devices are different, I can't explain how to do this precisely. On my Windows Mobile 5.0 device, I just goto Programs then tap Clear Storage, and watch the device reset. After it resets, the Windows Mobile menu will come up and ask you to align the screen, teach you how to copy and paste. When it ends, a Screen will come up and tell you that configuration is finished and tell you to tap to continue. Now pay attention, timing is crucial. As soon as you tap to continue, you need to soft reset your device before the device customization menu gets a chance to install. You don't want the extended rom to begin installing.
3. Now after the device hard resets, you should get the today screen. If you don't and you're back in the align screen section then you should complete it again and soft reset a little bit later than when you started. If it says device customizing then soft reset immediately, before anything gets installed. From the Today Screen you need to goto Start>Programs>File Explorer. In File Explorer, navigate to your storage card and run the total commander cab. Total Commander should now install. After it's installed, goto Start>Programs and open it.
4. Now type "\Extended_ROM\" (match exact case) into the location bar of total commander to make your Extended_ROM suddenly appear. From this screen you will see the cab files . Choose the CAB files you would like to install. You have now bypassed the Extended ROM. You have some choices now. If you are like me and don't want specific programs to install such as antivirus, skype and backgammon. Run every cab, but those specific cabs. They won't install and muck up your system and you will be all set. If you want to do research and only install the cabs you need you can do that too. Sites like XDA-Developers often keeps lists of all cab files found in device extended roms and what each file does so you can decide what you want and what you don't.
Hope this helps you out
My second splash screen (Windows Mobile) has disappeared. ATM only a white screen and fortunately I can boot.
I copied welcomehead.96.png to my PC to see if I can edit it (YES) and back to Wizard \windows folder and still same white one...
Any suggestions (I do'not want to flash or something like that because it takes a lot of time to shapen up the programs installed)
BTW, I have AKU 2.3 Mr. Clean 2.24 ROM. I can't edit extended_rom because of Wizard Extended_Rom 2.xx restrictions (no solution yet, at least I couln't find anywhere, Just Buzz was working on it)
:?:
I had this happen to me too, if you are using your own one, just replace the files again. But if you are not sorry you will have to find someone with that file. I copied it in 2 times and it works ok now!
Find what? an original "welcomehead.96.png file" ?
ya, cus i have changed my, but i did not like it so i did not keep a copy of the one it came with!
(cus the 1st file i put there did not a thing but then the 2nd one said to replace the file and i said yes!)
...It isn't dissapeared. Just delete the new one and voilà, there it is: the original.
I myself got a white screen after I installed pocketRSS reader...
Exactly the same program "pRSSreader". After installing it just a white screen. Will give a try to delete.
I have replaced it many times but nothing changed. Deleting might be a solution as yours
I'll post if I manage
Thanx

NOPE, didn't worked for me. I deleted ones, there u go, the original ROM file. but nothing changes.
...only when you uninstall pRSS the whitescreen disappears. It doesn't matter whatever you do.
But IF you have no pRSS anymore then you can regain the original welcomehead.96.png, because it's not gone but hide away...
Easily changed 1st splash with rom update (seems harder) but I'll give up the 2nd one because I like to use pRSSreader. Maybe ask the developer for a bug.
Thanx anyway
I tried deleting the welcomehead file but Resco says it can't be deleted as its in ROM.
I have the same problem, installed pRSSReader, it made my screen disappear. So I uninstalled it but the problem is still there.
Any fixes?
I would try the ones above but I can't seem to delete the png file.
Thanks..
copy welcomehead.96.png from Windows folder to anywhere(can be your PC) and copy it back to Windows folder.
think it will work
I tried that. It doesn't seem to work
I renamed the welcomehead.96.png file and then I deleted the renamed one. It created a new png file which, when I open, I can see is the Windows Mobile screen.
But it doesn't show on startup.
I also tried copying it to my storage card and then copying it back to Windows.
Doesn't work
Any other suggestions, please?
if you navigate to
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin
Change the value of Enabled to 1
Soft Reset
do you get your logo now ....
I know changing the value to 0 should give the the default windows mobile screen
It was already set to 1 so I took a chance and changed it to 0.
Well...its still the same.
This is unbelievable. I also had a go with Total Commander and some of the instructions around this forum. Nothing.
I can't believe the developer of pRSSReader can screw up so bad...I am going to make sure I tell everyone I know to steer clear.
Thanks for your help, though...
try to create another welcomehead.96.png with properties 240x320 24bit (important) with your PC copy it over PPC windows folder. it should work.
i have done like this way and i change whatever i want but pRSS reader get things conplicated if u want your welcome screen do not use that program as well.
Should the image be 320x320 or 240x320? I know the resolution of the device is 240x320 but many people who have posted here on how to change the boot images say it should be 320x320.
I will do the above and let you know how it goes.
I can easily change my 2nd splash before pRSSreader and now and will after (uninstalled that RSS program)
I posted this thread becuse I wanted to learn if that program created the bug or not and if it's possible to overcome that problem without uninstalling. Asked the buddy who wrote pRSSreader and absolutely he was not aware of the issue. maybe will solve it eith the next release who knows ??
all my images are 240x320 24bit .png and they work perfect.
let me know how it goes as u told
Well, I edited the original 320x320 image to 240x320 and then copied it to my Windows folder. It still doesn't work! It's so strange
I can't imagine how its not working because it seems to be for everyone else.
I can confirm that the problem took place after I installed pRSSReader as I didn't install any other program before that for at least 3 days. It's a very nice program (and free, which makes it nicer) but not worth the trouble if it messes up my system.
Well, I guess I'll learn to live with it...till I decide to do a hard reset and install all my stuff again (which is just scary as I have a lot of stuff and it'll take up tons of time).
It seems that WM6 is not letting me change / delete welcomehead.96.png.
I was doing this through total commander. I even tried safe mode then TC
Is there any other way to overwrite this file.
I am running a Mogul with the latest ROM update.
Thanks
I have a t-mobile HD2 and everytime I launch the internet browser (Opera) it brings up this really annoying "Do you want to go online?" warning. This happens whether Opera is launched from the Sense UI or directly from the start menu.
I can not find anything in the registry to remove this. I have also noticed in the \Windows folder that there is a "BrandedBrowser.exe", which seems to be the cause, because if I run it (and Opera is not already running) then it brings up the warning and then launches Opera, however, if I run the OperaL.exe file directly then it doesnt display the warning.
How can I modify the Sense UI so that it launches the OperaL.exe instead of the BrandedBrowser.exe?
Any ideals peeps?
To launch OperaL.exe as the default instead of BrandedBrowser.exe just use a program like total commander to rename Brandedbrowser to brandedbrowser_bkp.exe (just so you have a backup copy should you ever need it), then make a copy of operaL.exe and rename it as BrandedBrowser.exe
Make sure it stays in the windows directory.
I just tried this myself and it worked.
The branding still appears but it doesn't ask me if i want to go online anymore
Thanks very much
I can't seem to do this. I have Total Commander installed but whenever I change the file properties to uncheck System and Read Only, it just reverts back so that I can't rename or delete it.
How do I do this?

Strange. When I did it, I didn't change any of the files properties. I just renamed it. Make sure the browser isn't running in the background. You can close it fully with the task manager. If it is running perhaps you can't edit the file name.
Perfect. I must have had the browser running in the background without realising last time. I've just had another go with the stock File Manager and it's worked a treat
Now.....I just need to find a way of switching off HSDPA (but keeping 3G) switched on in this T-Mobile UK 1.43 ROM

That's the easy part
Go to Settings, Menu, All Settings, Connections, and Advanced Network. It's the 1st option you'll see.
Unfortunately it seems to be missing from this ROM. In advanced settings I have 3 tabs: GPRS (authentication method), CSD Line Type and SMS Service. I think T-Mobile have removed it for some reason.
Is there a registry key I can change?

I had the same problem.
I thought it might've been because I was using an old version of Total Commander, so I updated that to the latest one but it still wouldn't work.
To fix the problem I copied the original read only files to my PC desktop, unticked the read only attribute, copied them to my SD card, then moved them from there back into the Windows directory on the phone, and finally changed the file names.
I rebooted the phone to make sure the changes had stuck, and they had.
Much rejoicing was made.
If I can find a way to switch HSDPA off and keep 3G on, and improve general stability I'll be 99.9% happy with the HD2. If only I could update the ROM without voiding the warranty
Come on T-Mobile, hurry up an release a 1.48 ROM!!!!! :
