System apps fixed for VGA mode

I'm trying to fix the various system apps that appers scrambled using ozVga.
So, here is the first two: power and backlight
copy the file in the storage card, run them once (to register the certificate), then delete the final " .exe " and put them in the \windows folder.
Enjoy

Wi-Fi Manager

Nice one keep them coming!

Camera, Microphone AGC and WModem
The camera don't work with the .0409.mui method, you have to replace the original one.
MAKE A COPY!!!

Azhad, can you do the phone?
What method are you using? Resource editing?

Yes, resource editing, thanks to your signcode I can now resign the files.
I'd tried this before for the phone, but whitout the certificate it didn't work, and now I don't want to spoil your work

Hey, if you can fix it, fix it!
I'm working on something else this weekend that I'm very enthusiastic about so don't have much time, and if there's a non resident fix, I think it's a much better solution!
I'm not too proud to admire an elegant solution.

Just trying these...
Will they prevent the system working if we switch back to QVGA mode? I.e. are these files permanent fixes for all circumstances or does the system only call them in VGA mode?

The system will work in QVGA, unfortunately for .exe file I can't make a .96.exe (resolution alternate resource) only a .0409.mui (language alternate resource), so it work only in VGA mode, when you switch back in QVGA you have to delete them.
Or you can setup ozvga to do that for you automately.

Good work.

I cannot rename camera.exe Help

camera.exe renaming
Hi davidkm123;
I had used resco explorer and it worked because this forces windows to rename an application and now have no problems. Use resco explorer.

or Total Commander

I extracted the file and place in storage card then run once, after that I deletted the .exe and dragged it o the windows folder....
But nothing happen!
still the old scramble display!
Have I done anything wrong?

You must delete substring of filename ...

Yes, I did delet the ".exe"....
but nothings work...
is it because I am using the traditional chinese rom and not the WEE?

can anyon e solve this?
thanks

.0409.mui is a substring for an alternate english resource, for running these apps on a different language you have to change the 0409 in the code for your country. Scan your \system folder and find what code you have to use.
You also have to rename trares0409.96.dll accordingly
P.S.
Maybe one of those:
Chinese (PRC) 0804
Chinese (Singapore) 1004
Chinese (Hong Kong S.A.R.) 0c04
Chinese (Macau S.A.R.) 1404
Chinese (Taiwan) 0404

Thanks a lot, AZHAD
will try this later..
how about the phone skin?
i have tried the cab file from VJBigPhonev0.9(after I extracted and the files can not be run by universal)

How to edit png files?

Hi all,
I am able to make changes to a png file in my Touch's Windows dir and save to a different dir but when I try to overwrite the old png file with the new file I get an access denied error.
I've tried changing the files attributes so read only is unchecked but it doesn't stick.
I've even tried using Total Commander to delete the file but no go. I konw it's something simple as so many seem to edit png files all the time but I'm even simpler.
Searching the forums yielded a similar squestion but no good answer except modifying a registry key from Hive to File, whatever that means. Is this what I need to do?
thanks in advance for any help

icon cube
Hi,
Can you send me original icons of the cube (touchflo)?
Thanks

Usually the only time you can't overwrite a png file is if it's being used by the system. Try turning off whatever touch app your trying to replace the file for and then replace it.

thanks xeno1, that did the trick. I was trying to edit the touch's dialer background and quickdial.exe was running. Once I stopped the process I could overwrite the original background with the edited one.
thanks again.

No problem, glad I could help.

transparent top curtain / bar

Ok, I've found the cab that removes the top curtain. NoTopCurtain.cab removes it, and every search I did only lead me to threads asking the same with no solution...

I've seen the semi-transparent bars in peoples screenshots, would somebody care to tell me how this is done?

Get your device. ActiveSync it. Explore it. Find file 18c460d8_manila in Windows folder. Copy it to your PC. Save it to a folder somewhere.
Download Manila Editor. Select Path in Manila Editor > Point it to the folder you just saved the 18c460d8_manila file. You'll see a blank image listed in manila editor.
Export it and open it with your favourite gfx editing program. Edit it to a semi transparent colour. If I remember rightly it's a 2pixel wide (128 high) image that 'spans' across the screen.
Use manila editor to replace the file with your newly edited image. Then copy the 18c460d8_manila file back to your device in \Windows.
Wallah! All done. You can find everything you need via Searching and reading!

thanks
Thanks, I should be able to get it done

i have a 1864da05_manila .... but no 18c460d8_manila
your sure its in the windows directory? I have a juicy 2.5 telus cdma phone, could it be different?

Simply Notepad will do, remove the Read-Only and you can save, don't know what you mean about the File Explorer thing.

I think I used notepad to save the file..
What do you mean with the file that arranges file explorer? The file that place file explorer in the start menu? Thats initflashfile..

hmm think i did something stupid then as it got saved as a file and not a systemfile like all other manilla files are
will give it a few attempts
as for the file explorer i want to know wich packages contains all files from file explorer
i lost my kitchen a month ago
and now i have rebuilded it(i know stupid i didnt have a backup)
with the previous kitchen when i reachd the end of the list it would give a bounce effect
i lost this in file explorer while i still have it in contacts(for example)
so i think there is a reg wrong in file explorer package but i dont knwo wich package it is
is it a sys package or a ext package
i run a search treu the kitchen with for ''fileexplorer'' but without results

Don't think its needed to put it back to read-only. I never do that anyway.
The bounce in file explorer and start menu etc is done by physicsengine from WM6.5

thanks for changing it to solved by i think it wont be solved:-o
i am using 21907 so it should work by its own
also it a boumce thingie i have it in contacts and everywhere else i try but not in file explorer
i also tried the one from 21901 and im sure the rom i cooked with that build a couple of roms back it had the bounce thingie at the end of file explorer:-o
could it be 21907sys included a 6.5.x fexplorer? will try that later and wil lalso report if the physicsengine appelflap posted wroks or not
flashing the rom with appelflaps now is at 50%

well i made a rom with the physicsengine appelflap posted and again i have the bounce thingie everywhere except in file explorer
i use 21907 sys/xip so the build should support it in file explorer:S
anyone else any thoughts about this?

Don't re-cook and flash just to test out a .dll. You can over-write the rom module with a filed .dll using total commander,and after a soft reset see if things are working.

any idea where i could find that file on the phone
anyway with the file placed in windows folder i still dont have the bounce in file explorer but i do have it in the contacs list again:S
isnt there any reg for the bouncing cause when i hold till the loadingcircle for menu comes and i start scrolling before the menu pops up i can get the bounce in file explorer:-o
on a side note how did you make that vid with youre comp maybe i could make it to see what i mean

could you tell me with wich prog you made the movie
thanks

yep the program is SOTI pocket controler V6PRO
i dont know if there is a REG for bounce.... i dont know why you dont have nothing to overwrite... seems that you dont have the physics engine before so weird.

i know the physics engine is a module in my sys(got it this way from a few topics above)
kinda weird as it is working in startmenu, twittertab, contacts, settingstab and everywhere else you can think of having the bounce
gues ill have to leave it as it is
thanks for the help thoug

[Q] Unsigned Folders ?

First of all, sorry for openeing a new thread; but surely i have searched all of chef central din't find anything much or maybe din't understand which one was my solution.
The problem is after boot of my ROM ( regardless of which boot ie 1st 2nd or 10th ) i get 2 pop up errors:
1) "The file 'programs' cannot be opened. Either is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found.If the problem persists please try reinstalling or restoring this file."
2) "The file 'Tools' cannot be opened. Either is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found.If the problem persists please try reinstalling or restoring this file."
I have a folder called "Tools" in the start menu, and it works fine, and everything inside also works good. But still this error.
I'm pretty sure all the Packages cooked which are meant to go in this folder do go in.
And the programs error is it anything to do with the fact that in the APP.DAT in almost all packages i have used similar naming:
Code:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("System")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools\Tweaks"):-File("Flip_IT.lnk","\Windows\_Flip_IT.lnk")
and also added similar REG in the REGS :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Tools\Tweaks\Flip_it.lnk]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As i was not sure which one will decide the location, so some packages have only .REGs, some have only APP.DATs and some have both ( but all the locations are same that is sure !)
Please help me with this.
Thanks alot.
PS: I have enabled NoCert in EVK, and also cooked in the latest ( 2015 ? ) SDKCerts EXT. And after that no other apps give an unsigned problem.

Just a question, this isnt the full app.dat right?
Code:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("System")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools\Tweaks"):-File("Flip_IT.lnk","\Windows\_Flip_IT.lnk")
If yes, you miss some lines,this app.dat is just copying a link to startmenu but i guess that you need the program in Windows.

i'm afraid that is the full App.DAT

In red are the subfolders that doesnt come with the original.
There are some difference with your but i dunno if this is the problem but worth try.

Umm well i have defined those locations as to fit them lnk in the place i want in the start menu.. isn't that the way ?

Im Quoting you from 1st post:
1) "The file 'programs' cannot be opened. Either is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found.If the problem persists please try reinstalling or restoring this file."
2) "The file 'Tools' cannot be opened. Either is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found.If the problem persists please try reinstalling or restoring this file."
you got this popup error automatically, no need to open any folder\file?
It seems that you put a wrong shortcut to files called "Tools and programs" in your StratUp folder.
Check some other App.dat

i have checked all APP.DAT in the EXT can't find any which i cook and does not get cokked in the correct location ?
Umm and the two errors are seperate not in one only.
So i guess the conflict is there with 2 seperate folders "Tools" and "programs" respectively.
Ideally it should not conflict with tools, because i do have a tools folder in the start menu.. so everything should go there :/
any other help?

Try to cook a rom without one of the latest apps that you have add and if the problem gone then you have find the issue,after that post here the responsable so we can look at it.

I'll try and cook without the 5 EXT i identified with wrong app.dats ?
I have had this problem since long, but i din't bother much, so i really don't know whats the issue..
it has been there basically since i tweaked the start menu locations.
now i have to get rid of it cuz any ROM user won't like to just press ok and continue with the ROM.
I'll try.

My suggestion is to try one by one but ofcourse this way you need to flash 5 times your phone.
Did you ,maybe,tweaked your Initflashfile.dat?

No i don't play with initiaflash... because i don't know much about it..
I guess i will not cook anyone of them so that if its one of them i will just download fresh CABs for them and convert them into EXTs rather than flashing my phone 5 times..
Thanks alot.

i tried cooking without those apps no luck
Same 2 errors hence those 2 apps are ok..
Attached my Initflashfile.dat if that helps.
Please help.

You really need to look in your startup folder to see what is in there. That's the first thing to do. Then, look in the start menu and see if anything weird is going on. Particularly, look for corrupted files or folders. If there are any files that look like folders, that could be the issue.
You're initflashfiles.dat is effin' huge!! Learn to make a cab, or relocate apps to windows. You must be wasting a ton of storage space.

thanks for the help Ted,
In the startup i see 2 folders
1) programs in which there is tools->system->Arkswitch.
2) tools -> system -> XDA_UC.
rest are the normal i guess.
Then in the startmenu it seems fine.
but one problem there i see in the start menu i see a system folder which is empty AFAIK i did not create and such path why is that there ?

Please help me correct the two in order to remove the warning.
Will try and cook without them to see if they cause they problem.

I don't use xda_uc, but delete the sub-folders in startup and the problems go away.
App.dat copies files from windows to other places. In many cases, an app works fine in windows. You just need to fix paths (shortcuts, registry) so they point to windows. It's a complete waste to have two copies of all your files, especially when the ones in rom work perfectly fine. Personally, I don't even use app.dat's, except to create directories and to copy the important customization links into startup.
Edit: ok, so I'm looking at your initflashfiles.dat. One, there's something weird with your Manila twitter lines. Why does it appear twice? That's kind of a waste, and will slow down 1st boot. Also, you've got a dozen mui files in there. Just put in the one you need (0409 or whatever), and delete the rest. You've to two copies of a bunch of files that you don't use. Remove the lines you don't need from the app.dat.
As far as relocating apps, you've got 20 or so that would work fine in windows. For example, clean ram does not have to be in program files. Just leave the exe's in windows, and send 1 lang file to \windows\lang. The app will work fine. Do you really need 20 lang files for cleanram? Dude, that's a total waste.
Here's an easy one to fix: pocket rar. You've got two copies of it now on your device. Just get a shortcut for it to windows, and you're done. You stick rar.exe in a package, along with the shortcut, and send the shortcut to the start menu as normal. Speaking of which, it looks like you've got a syntax error there:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\\Tools\System"):-File("Pocket RAR.lnk","\Windows\_Pocket RAR.lnk")

Get rid of the extra \.

Thanks sir i got it, now i will impliment it.
Sir if you don't use app.dats then how do you chose which package shows up where in the start menu ?

I do pretty much everything with morscripts. I put all files and directories in zip files that are unzipped during customization, and all shortcuts are created by a script. This reduces the rom file count by hundreds (I have about 1800 rom files), and the zip files reduce the storage memory for files that have to be inserted elsewhere. There's also a restore script that resores files that change a lot and that aren't practical to cook in.
Anyway, were I you, I'd work on fixing all of your packages to make the rom more efficiently designed (instead of worrying about upgrading build numbers). I bet you could removed 500 files and clean up a crazy amount of memory (like 50 mb). It can be tricky moving an app to windows. Some apps have .ini files or similar settings files, and the app will crash or not load if the setting file is read-only, so you need to get the file into windows without having it read only (do it with an app.dat that copies or renames it to windows). Some apps have their settings in the same damn file name (like settings.txt), so you can't have them both in the same directory.
To relocate to windows, almost anything in the root program folder (like \program files\cleanram) can be moved straight to windows. Sub-folders generally just need to be moved to \windows. Typically, an exe looks for .dlls first in its own directory and second in \windows, so just about any dll can be moved to windows without issue. It will then usually look for the support files in the same directory that it's located in. The only apps I've had problems with are resco keyboard (the skin files seem to be hard coded to program files), and the latest Power Radio (2.4.0.2, or something like that). I had a bunch of power radio packages that worked fine in windows, but the latest wouldn't, so I just didn't do the upgrade.
It's usually easiest just to test things without cooking. In your case, you've already got everything in windows. Just click on exes and see what works and what doesn't. Some apps will need sub-folders relocated to windows, and it looks like your cab-to-ext package unfortunately renamed the rom files, so some files in the program folder will need to be copied to windows. Just do this for testing purposes, to see what works and what doesn't. I bet your rom is effin huge, and you could make it a lot leaner by cleaning your packages up. The cab-to-ext makers all more or less suck; it's better to do things manually (or with kheb 1.1).
Edit: you've got the tachan black theme in there twice, too. You really, really don't need those files copied elsewhere. I'm guessing there's a reg file with all the file locations (in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today). Fix it!!! All you need to do is do a 'replace all' and replace \\My Documents\\Themes\\tacchan23black with \\windows. Then delete that gawdawful app.dat file (both occurrences). That will remove 101 redundant files.

Do you remember this from your 1st post?
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("System")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools\Tweaks"):-File("Flip_IT.lnk","\Windows\_Flip_IT.lnk")

Thanks ted & af974.
i will try to do things you suggested.
But Ted, what does the attachment mscr do ?

I attached and EXT package from Chucky's Rom thanks to birkoffsjunk, i guess you will understand what mscr does looking at it.
