Dear all,
attached are 3 files. FontOnStorage.zip contains FontOnStorage.exe which is used to load any fonts in the same folder as it. sunglobe.zip contains sunglobe.tff chinese font from CE-Star. As it is more than 3 MB, it is wasting precious space in the RAM. Chinese Fonts.zip contains the registry entries required.
How to use them:
1) Create a folder (I used "Fonts") in the Storage (you need Big Storage)
2) Place FontOnStorage.exe and the font file in the folder.
3) Unzip Chinese Fonts.zip and run the registry file to install it.
4) Soft reset and run FontOnStorage.exe. It will load the font file.
You can create a shortcut to startup if you use the font frequently.
Without FontOnStorage.exe, the font will not be used by Windows.
Great, did you post it in the PPCSG forum as well?
Nope. I did not. Anyway, I find that this method works as long as you run the executable immediately after a soft reset. Else, sometimes, it doesn't work.
you can always post in the PPCSG forum...I'm sure lots of ppl would find this helpful

Hi ebliss, I still can't view the chinese character after the following steps.
1) Create a folder (/Storage Card/Windows/Fonts) in the Storage (miniSD card)
2) Place FontOnStorage.exe and the sunglobe.tff chinese font file in the folder.
3) Unzip Chinese Fonts.zip and run the registry file to install it.
I'm not sure if I perform correctly for step 3. I unzip in my PC and run the registry. I can't run the registry file in my ipaq.
4) Soft reset and run FontOnStorage.exe. It will load the font file.
Please help me step by step. Thank you very much.

dear all expert,
did anyone successfully try this out ? Please guide me through.
regards.
First of all, it works. thanks to ebliss for the precious info. It saves a lot of real estate on my main memory!!
Now, in order for it to work, you must
1. Have the font on your storage (Obviously). Remember, it's on the STORAGE, not MEMORY CARD. Memory card's load time is too long and too unstable ... I wouldn't risk it. But if you don't mind trying, sure let me know if that works or not.
2. You must load FontsOnStorage on startup ... without it it won't work.
3. Have the right path in the registry. The registry file ebliss has provided points to "\Storage\Fonts\". If you have put the font in any other directory that registry file is NOT going to work for you. However, you can use Resco Registry editor, and do a search for sunglobe (assuming that's your font), and change the path manually one by one.
1) Create a folder (/Storage Card/Windows/Fonts) in the Storage (miniSD card)
2) Place FontOnStorage.exe and the sunglobe.tff chinese font file in the folder.
3) Unzip Chinese Fonts.zip and run the registry file to install it.
I'm not sure if I perform correctly for step 3. I unzip in my PC and run the registry. I can't run the registry file in my ipaq.

The reason that doesn't work for you is ...
1. You've put the font on the STORAGE CARD, not STORAGE MEMORY. Storage card = SD card = unstable and slow load time. I am not sure if it will work or not, it can create problem. But it is worth a try.
2. The path you have specified is incorrect. Again, if you use ebliss's registry, he points the files to "\Storage\Fonts\". Since you've put your fonts in "\Storage card\Windows\Fonts\" that registry file won't work for you. You'll have to manually change the registry yourself.
BTW, FontOnStorage doesn't have to be on the same directory as the Fonts ... it can be on the main memory ... that way you won't get a warning everytime it loads!
Thanks again ebliss! It's great!
cani have arabic in this way? and if anyone has any cool font plz share
I think you can move ANY additional font to the storage memory this way ...
anybody share arabic font and any cool font that i can set as system font
Hi ebliss,
I installed it to my Tmobile SDA. I put the font file in \windows\fonts.
After I run FontOnStorage.exe file, I see an icon showing up on the top. But when I try to read a txt file or browse Chinese website, I still can't read Chinese. Any clue?
Thanks,
Alen
greet job...i find this long times..thk for you..
Sorry. I could not download the attachment at this time. Anyone?
worked fine on my HTC Kaiser/Tilt ( Windows Mobile 6.1 Prof ) ... from the 'Storage Card\Fonts' folder ... now i can see various glyphs / Unicode letters/symbols, etc much better in Internet Explorer Mobile .
Thanks, to user 'ebliss' .
i've previously tried ... a different way ... changed/added few registry keys to force the Windows to use the 'Tahoma' font from the Storage Card , but instead of Tahoma it will actually use a different Unicode font , this trick worked , but font's glyphs were not as good looking or as clear as other stock font's glyph , so i removed those registry entries .
~ Bry8Star .
i can't seem to make this work on WM6.5... anyone knows how?
well... after days of trying... IT WORKS!
need help with registry
can someone please teach me how to run the registry if it's on the storage card?

Hi,
i want to install the programs to a directory on the mmc card.
But if i do so, it installs in the root.
Now, thats not looking nice, and its hard to find anything there then.
I want create a directory for games and programms on the card.
How can i do that?
I can only choose between, Memory Card, Storage and Main Memory.
And that sucks!
Maybe u can user WinCE CAB Manager and edit the *.cab installation directory to any directory u prefer.
You can use the freeware CabInstall and install program directly from the SD.
Yes, but on the on hand this would be a lot of work, changing every single files directory in the cab and on the other hand it wouldn´t work out with Progs, that have an exe intallation, like the game AoE.
Thos Progs, first install on the PC and then on the PPC, and there are no editable CABs at all.
I thougt about changing the installation interface inactive sync , but i´m not a coder.
But maybe, there is somebody out there, who had the same idea like me and realised it already.
The Best solution ever: have a look at the attached files, open the TXT file first (the instructions)
You will not need any additional Software (except e Regestry editor like PHM Regedit), just follow the instructions and use the attached files.
Workes great I am having this now for 4 months!
if you install the programmes to the SD/MMC card, and they make their own folder, put the SD/MM card into a card reader on the pc and select the entire folder as hidden. this means that the programme still works, but does not show up when you explore the card. this does not work if u are using your phone as a card reader.
Sorry DerliebeWolf, The BEST solution is the follow (Tested on WM2003Se):
- Download a registry editor 4 Ur PPC
- Open AskDir_ON.reg with the program
- Reset your PPC
manually:
- Go to \HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer\fAskDest
- Change DWORD value (dec) from 0 to 1
- Reset your PPC
If you install a cab file or an exe file from the pc (that copy the cab into your ppc and then execute it), Windows Mobile will ask you in wich folder you want to install the sw.
Note that you can have problems with some applications (because they're not installed in their own directory)
Check out Nonentity's File System Tweak http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...order=asc&highlight=file+system+tweak&start=0
Cabinstaller is the best and easy software i could recommend for this. Run the cab installer software once and set it to run for all installations, the whenever u try to install a cab file, it will prompt you for the path of installation. It also has an option to disable deleting of cab file after installation. Do you want anything more than this? and to the max, it is free ware! Its easy to get, if you can't find,I have it in my site' software section. www.cartystudios.com
oh yes, i've forget that cabinstall associes .cab files to it (and then, when you execute an exe from the pc, in the ppc will be opened always with cabinstall in auto)
They're the 2 Best Solutions
I'm writing a little tool to restore my settings after a hard reset.
One of the problems I've run into is that I can't "overwrite" the splash screen image in the windows folder.
I'm using visual basic and the "file.copy" command.
Does anyone know how to overwrite this file (and probably also other files in "rom")? Would an api function to copy the file work better?
Total Commander, and MortScript, succeeds in copying another file to \windows\welcomehead.96.png, so there must be a way

Let me give you some hints:
1. You must edit ROM to change files.
2. Please go to URL

OK. I'll Rephrase my question:
I want to write a program to copy the file:
\storage card\welcomehead.96.png
to:
\windows\welcomehead.96.png
on a WM5 device. I'm not interested in editing the rom.
I know it's possible to write a program that can copy the file, since both total commander for PPC can do it and MortScript can do it.
It does not work when using "file.copy" in visual basic. So i'm asking if anyone knows if there's an API function I can use to do it, or if there is some other way to do it.
"Cooking a new rom" is not an option for me. Because:
I want to be able to use whatever rom i want, and I am making a tool which i can run to do the following after a hard reset (or rom upgrade):
- copy files (typically shortcuts to progs intalled on the storage card, files in my documents etc.) from the storage card to the device
- set registry entries the way I want them
- install the cab files I want "automatically"
I've got it all sorted, except that it bombs when i try to copy the file "welcomehead.96.png" to the windows folder.

You just have to overwrite the existing file...
1. Open the file
2. Write data
3. Close

Hi, i have updated my device to the mr. clean image.
Now i have to install all software. So i create a folder on my storage card with all necessary cab files.
Is there a possibility to have them all be installed with one click? For example to create a Batch to install them one after another?
Hope not to ask silly questions.
TheGulOfDedra
try this;
example;
This '\Storage Card\2577\autorun.exe' is an official M$ way of autolaunching programs from SD card, well described in MSDN...
If you put calc.exe into this folder and will rename it to autorun.exe, it will be automatically launched upon inserting this SD card in. So your calculator will pop up...
make a folder in the root of the sd card called [2577] put the cab files into the folder ,reboot the device .it should install,
alternative; use the autorun from the extended-rom to launch the files.you my need to do some editing intiothe config file.
Thanks - how can i "see" the extended rom? Editing a config file is no problem for me.

use "TOTALCOMANDER"
download ,install then open the prog ,write the folowing in totalcomander,[extended_rom] now you should see the contents of the extendedrom,you can use totalcomander to copy any file to any location.
download from here; http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm
thank you very much to all
Problem is...all your CABS will be installed to their default installation directory (mostly Main Storage).
What I would like to know is how to make all CABS install to the Storage Card or a directory specified in the config.text?
I have tried to change my start text to something else but I really can't find that string 321 in ANY .dll on my device. I don't even have a shellres.dll.0409.mui as it says below.
Change Start Text
1. Unsign your shellres.dll.0409.mui
2. Open it in one of these three Reshack / PE Explorer / Restoratorand go to string value 321 and change the name from Start to whatever you want.
3. Save your modified file
4. Open MssignerorMultiple file Signer
· click Start sign Process (for MFS follow directions in the link)
· a window will pop-up with "Process finished!"
· You will see a that a text file has been create for your shellres on your desktop
· Open the text file, if you see "Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped, Succeeded" you know the file was signed.
5. Transfer the modified file to your SD card
6. Open TC and navigate to the /Windows and rename your old file to "shellres.dll.0409.mui.bak"
7. Move your modified file from your SD card into the /Windows
8. Soft Reset
Can someone help me out please? The people at PPCGeeks are so slow
No one?
No because 0409 is for English rom
In Sweden the value is 041D
So find the file shellres.dll.041D.mui
Ye I have that file, but it seems I can't copy it to my internal storage with Total Commander for some reason. Well I can copy it, but the file seems hidden and stuff even if I take away those properties on the file before I copy it.
Try to modify this file taken from windows mobile 6.1 version 2.03 SVE
then you can make a cab file that overwrite the orignal file in the windows folder
Will it make any difference when I have 1.93 ROM? I'm too lazy to upgrade to 2.03 since it most likely won't make any difference (I checked the changelog for 2.03).
2.03 is much faster then the 1.93
And also more battery consuming I read, true?

I don't think so, I'm using 2.03 standard rom and I don't see any difference.
Different versions of the radio can consume more or less battery and also
influence the function of the GPS.
There's a specific thread for radios.
I'll update later today then when I've charged the phone :]
Hi, is there any way how to edit XT9 words on PC? I know about the et9MyWords.exe app in WM, but I want something more comfortable...
Thx
EDIT: Ok, I've found that editing HTCMDB.txt from Windows directory does the job...
Nice. Thanks for this info.
How do you edit and save HTCMDB.txt file? It's a system file found under Windows folder. Won't allow modification of this file.
Any work around?
htc x9 edit
i used total commander (explorer dose not allow you to modify system files) to copy the file to sd card (otherwiswe wont let you edit it) edit+save and then copy to windows folder (overwritting) and that s it
I was able to do it using Total Commander. But it doesn't seem to work. The additional words i put in there were not recognized. And the edited file with more words is only half the size of the original file. What went wrong?
in fact i've translated part of the words allready existing in the file (takes some time to do them all manually) and it worked thow i did not take notice of the final file size
I can't add new words to the list? Only change existing words?
