Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that I have managed to translate 99% of all the WM5 interface to English or almost any language. The secret has been found long time ago by our friend Asukal: http://asukal.net/blog/
Some things like the battery panel, the soft keys on the Communication Manager are missing and others are not translated, maybe somebody can tell us how can we complete this work on the Athena.
Instructions:
1) Install ENG_mui.cab or any other desired language. Don't install ENG_Notifi_COM_BT or any other since they will change some settings.
2) Now you will notice that the Start Menu doesn't exist anymore! So go with the help of your keyboard to the File Explorer, go to /Windows and look for the folder on the Old Language that contains the Start Menu Folder, now rename it to: Start Menu. Then inside rename the folder that contains the Links to your programs to Programs and Create or Rename a Folder called Settings. All of them should be inside /Windows/Start Menu
The original work was made by our friend Asukal. Thank you very much for your hard work! And you can view the original post for the HTC Universal and the Languages Pack at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=267541&page=2
you can download all the CAB's that Asukal made with a lot of different languages (some of them are not finisihed) at: http://buzzdev.net/components/com_s...les/UI_LNG_SWT_beta_20060629193323_Asukal.rar
Feel free to ask me any question, I will try to do my best!
I will try to post some screen shots later...

Thank you so much for sharing this information with us, good news !
Camera stopped working
The tweak works nice but camera application could not start. Will check further later. Meanwhile I have restored backup
I solved this by replacing /Windows/Camera.exe with one of the Camera.exe.* which size is 404 KBytes. Sorry but I can't remember the exact name.

where did you get the camera files from?
I got them from my /Windows directory they have been renamed by Asukal's translator. They have the extension: *.0404.mui
So the original file of Camera.exe (the one in Chinnese) has been renamed to Camera.exe.0404.mui, so once Asukal's CAB has been installed, rename Camera.exed to Camera.exe.old and rename Camera.exe.0404.mui to Camera.exe
In fact once you rename the working Camera.exe you will find a different Icon, like more "fashion". Hahaha!

Camera working now
I have the camera working now
I followed the instructions above, but before the procedure I created a folder on the storage card and copied all the file in the windows folder named camera for preservation
NB: I INSTALLED THE TWO CABS TO THE STORAGE CARD
ALL COPYING AND RE-NAMING WAS DONE WITH TOTAL COMMANDER
1. Ran the Language switcher cab and do a soft re-set.
2. May not be needed, but I started the switcher application and changed the language to English. Nothing changed of course
3. Installed the English mui and clicked ok for reset.
4. Copied all the camera files (4 of them, counting in Camera.exe.0413) to the Windows folder of device
5. Copied all content of the Windows sub-folders Start Menu and Programs from the old language Dutch in my case, to the new English folders.
6. Did same as in 5. for all the folders I wanted to re-name which would not take the new name
7.Camera works as normal, but I did not see the Microdrive to select in the initial settings. I believe that can be sorted with reg-edit or something else, but that is not important for me at the moment. Have not tested the front camera etc. I need to go and have a meal.
Am continueing to re-name the folders and checking the functions as I go along. Happy tweaking to all of you! Many thanks to Bogusiano and Wu.
Cheers
Very good! I am happy for you! I think this the closest we can get until a WWE ROM for the Dopod U1000 is released, for me at least, this is enough to enjoy my device meanwhile!

I’m still a beginner with XDA, but starting to figure things out slowwwwwwly.
Couple of questions.
1. I’ve installed PocketZen (v3.5) and have managed to activate it. Whilst PocketZen is set up as the Today scene, how can I add custom applications (e.g. Excel, Word, Calendar etc) on the PocketZen desktop?
2. How can you apply the icons like the ones shown in the picture below? I’ve downloaded the following icon files but don’t know what to do with them :- Arjen.rar & Egypt123Icons1.rar
3. I’ve downloaded the ZenRingMode.exe file and copied into a folder called “Zen Ring Mode” within “\Program Files” folder on the XDA. I’ve managed to launch it by going in to File Exporer. Seems a bit tedious…..Is there a better way? However, once launched and you put the code in and click “Save Ring Mode”, how can you then utilise that sequence? What will the saved sequence be called? Surely not the code sequence you’ve just used????
:!: :?:
I will try to anwser your questions but I invit you to read the doc in the PocketZenPhone web site (see my signature below this post) All about custom icons ... is explained.
But to explain you directly PocketZenPhone is a today plugin it "only" allows you to switch between different phone mode.
To display shorcut I use TdLaunch.

This another plugin than PocketZenPhone. It is TdLaunch. Download it here . To add application using tdlaunch, install it then go to settings->today->items->tdlaunch->options->add

To apply icons for PocketZenPhone. Install PocketZenPhone, then open an explorer using ActiveSync and copy the incons extracted from the .rar you downloaded and copy then in Porgram files/PocketZenPhone.

ZenRingMode only allows you to test some custom Ring mode. you enter it , apply it and test when someone calls you. If the code is great you can post it on the PocketZenPhone thread on this forum.
Hope this help
Thank you very for such a fast response. Appreciate it. I’ve copied the jar files to \Program Files\PocketZenPhone as you suggested. However, nothing has happened. How do I activate new icons?

No unzip the files on your PC, then copy the pictures on your pocket.
Once done go to the PocketZenphone settings (settings->today->item->PocketZenPhone->options ...) . Exit and return to the today page ... that's it
OK. I’ve unzipped them using WinRAR and then copied them in a folder called Egypt123Icons on my PocketPC. Went into PocketZenphone settings (settings->today->item->PocketZenPhone->options ...) but could not find anything to change icons! Sorry to trouble you again but can you please help me out. :roll:
Copy them in the installation path ( \Program Files\PocketZenPhone for the english OS)
Then go to settings->today->pocketzenphone->options...
Got it at last...Thanks you....thank you very much for your patience.
:lol: :wink:
No prob glad you have it working
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.
V
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.
V
@vijay
i just wanna return my magician to the default system . that's why i'm so curious to get back that program.
@ampda
i'll try that file. thx for the info.
I can post my CAB file but it will also add the O2 xda defaults that can with the Aussie unit

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.

@Speedn
thx for the suggestion. it's very helpful.
@rockafeller
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
kk
@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?
Title: 3 tabs HTC Home Plugin for htc P4350,c800,dopod858
Overview: This Today Home Plugin is for Time,Weather and App Launcher on Today screen .

This tab was only working in WM6, but with the guide posted in this thread it's possible to have it also in WM5
WM5?
I tried it, but on WM5 it doesn't do anything?
It also does not work for me.
It only produces a huge empty space on my Today-Screen.
I am using WM5
This one won't work for wm5. There is a thread somewhere on xda-d for a wm5 working version. Don't have the link on me, sorry.
It worked for me and I am using WM5. I just followed the directions.
But I cannot find the weather xml file anywhere...
For some reason the Message tab keep bringing up MMS and it used to default to Outlook.
Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing?
Thanks
Joe
Where do I find HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml ??
my HTC p4350 works OK,and it is WM5.
change HTCHome.dll.0409.mui
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx
with you language
for example:
my 4350 is chinese .
and i change HTCHome.dll.0409.mui to HTCHome.dll.0804.mui
Reboot
if you 4350 is english ,dont change.
and it is OK.
sorry my english.
german code
the LCID for germany is 0407
hah ,if you 4350 is works ,please let more man use it .
Awesome board you guys have here, I'm loving everything I'm finding. Two questions-
1. Where can I find the H_0409_WeatherCities.xml file? I searched the board and google, no luck.
2. How can I change the color on the start menu bar, and the bar at the bottom with the soft keys? I want to make them black, to match.
Appreciate the help.

o,ye
I find that the original phone dial pad is rather dull, so I modified it (see attached) and would like to share with other users. If you like the new dial pad do the followings for installation.
How to install?
A) Find the 5 files below in \windows directory and copy to a another directory (just in case) using Total Commander (or others)
a) Assets_Dialer_Normal.bmp
b) Assets_Dialer_pressed.bmp
c) Dialer_Bkgnd_Port.bmp
d) Dialer_back_key_press.bmp
e) Dialer_back_key_normal.bmp
1) Unzip the attached file -> gives you 5 files as above
2) Ensure that the 5 files is a system file (attributes system - checked)
3) Copy the 5 files above into your \windows directory
4) Soft rest
*** In case it does not work in your set (very unlikely), just copy the original files in step A) above to \windows directory.
this is a great mod - but, the bmp files are set in rom according to the file properties when viewed in total comander. So i cant rename or delete them nor can i overwrite them with your new files. I have jade 110 with hard spl rom flashed with HTC oem rom.
any ideas how to overcome this or am i doing something wrong
TIA

I am not sure why. I've copied the files to a few different sets (stock rom, though) and they work fine. The files are not in rom. It could be due to your rom.
however, if want to change back to the original keypad how ah?

As far as I understand it you have to copy back your saved original files.
By the way: I can not find these files on my Jade (with TotalCommander).
Owh..ic ic...thanks for clearing that up. Does anyone has those files? Just wanna keep incase.
I changed to a new skin, and the original one kinda looks better with the skin. But i think i accidentally replaced them. Can someone assist me please?

Hi!
I'm fed up with the dictionary on my Blackstone.
There are some words which are not contained in the dictionary, so I have to add them. But it's not that easy. Sometimes, I have to enter the new word twice until it's saved and almost always, my added words disappear after some time, so I have to add them again and again.
Is there any solution available or do I have to change any settings?
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks.
Olli
P.S.: This happens on ANY ROM, not on a special one.
Hi,
I've had the same experience.
My sollution:
On the latest Dutty ROM (WM6.5) there is an program named "eT9MyWords". It's a simple word list where you can insert directly all the words you frequently use.
I'm postive that you will be able to download this program if you don't have it already.
I hope that the following will solve your prob.
1) Copy files below, from windows directory to another location
eT9Rudb.Rdb
eT9AsDb.Adb
2) Change attributes from read only to archive
3) Overwrite files in windows folder (Now the files are not in rom)
4) If are still read only you have to change again in Archive (Now you can becouse files are not in rom)
Then, create the following folder inside windows directory
\ET9IMEDB\
(e.g. \Windows\ET9IMEDB\)
Copy files eT9Rudb.Rdb and eT9AsDb.Adb inside \ET9IMEDB directory.
Now, using eT9MyWords.exe or keyboard's 'add word', you can add your custom words which will be saved for ever.
Hey!
Thanks for your ideas. Wasn't looking here for a few days.
I will try your solutions and tell you, if they work.
