Wait Cursor

Hello everybody
I searched 10 times this forum but i could not find it
IS there a way to change animated wait cursor ?? in HTC wizard ??
I found this program http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14638&associateid=162
but i don't think it will work with WM5
thanks,
DNO

yes there is a way. the icon is in a dll. so you need a dll editor. there´s a topic here somewhere in the forum. i read it the other day. just can´t remember where. Just look for dll editor or something like that. i think vijay555 changed his once to a hamster. just keep looking.

Yes there sure is.
It is in GWES.EXE and can be edited using a resource editor (google for Resource Hacker)
There are 16 bitmaps in the Bitmap section, running from 1024 to 1039 for QVGA and from 1040 to 1055 for VGA.
QVGA resolution in 32x32, VGA is 44x44
So change them with the resource editor and copy back GWES.EXE to
your device.
Cheers

thanks tweakradje

thank you very much

I found only gwes.exe.0409.mui in /windows

I think you need to extract it from a ROM.

the file gwes.exe does exist. i can see it if i´m in resco file explorer. but i can´t copy it. i always get an encryption error. and if i go through activsync i can´t see it. then i only see the one you see. with the 0409 on it.

Been looking into this for a while here, but have had no luck in WM5. I had this great Cartman eating Cheesy-Poofs animation in WM2003 that was so much fun.
Both "gwes.exe.0409.mui" and "gwes.exe" contain the icons that make up the animation for the busy/wait cursor.
Using Resource Hacker I made the change for those 16 icons in gwes.exe.0409.mui. Finally got it to overwrite the existing file in the /windows folder by creating a cab that replaced it after a restart. Unfortunately, even though the new file is now where the old one was, I'm still getting the old animation.
Did the same with gwes.exe using Resource Hacker, but for the life of me, I cannot find anyway of overwriting the file on my PPC. When I tried to overwrite by using the cab file install method, I get a message that says the install was unsuccessful because I didn't have permission to modify the file. I wish there were some way to overwrite the file while it was resetting, or even after a hard reset. I spent quite a bit of time trying to find a way to replace it via the Kitchen Rom avenue, but I couldn't do it.
Any ideas?

Hi,
You only need to replace \windows\gwes.exe.0409.mui in this case (rename the old one first) Then after a soft reset the new animation will show.
Mui must be activated though. Check
HKLM\MUI
Enable dword 0x1
Syslang dword 0x409
Cheers

Thanks tweakradje for the tip to rename gwes.exe.0409.mui first. I removed the read-only and system attributes, then renamed it to .old and it accepted that! Then copied my new file over, and I've got my Cartman back!! Wahooo!

Nice to hear. Can you share it here?
I am always interested.
Cheers

I did that and was able to replace the file with the new one checked the reg settings, I also removed the gwes.exe.0409.old file and I still get the old animation. am I missing something?
do I need to edit the gwes.exe file too?

Hi,
Check in your registry if the MUI values are present and that SysLang is set to 0x409. Of course the file must be in \windows.
No need to change gwes.exe if MUI is working.

Please, how to rename the gwes.exe.040C.mui.
I try under explorer and Resco explore, I can't, when I change properties of files, it came back to system and read only.
Thx.

Seems that with my WM5 it does not want to work with the Reg OK and the MUI files changed. It is still going with the icons in GWES.EXE and I cannot copy it from my device to change those icons and EVEN if I could, I would have to copy it back!
Any ideas how to copy over my GWES.EXE?

HTC Album with folder - no video found

I installed the HTC album where we can select the folder. It's working fine for the picture but not for my video. I cannot see any video using using this SW. I copied the video on the memory card and also on the HTC. No changes ... still no video.
A way to solve this?
Vincent

I got it working, but not with HTCAlbum. See my post here.

another answer to find video on sd (my videos folder) with HTCalbum???
I need help
thank you

I think the HTCalbum only shows video that's mp4 och 3gp. So if you convert it to mp4 and place it under \Storage card\DCIM\100MEDIA\ you will be able to find your videos. It's working for me.

found a fix
very easy
before installation, copy the htcalbum.exe file into htcalbum_old.exe (or any other name)
install app
modify the reg hklm soft htc biotouch minihub app 1_3 path to the old file.
sorry for the language but it's a bit late and i'm verry sleepy.
enjoy.

Please clarify above
if htc album is already installed, what are we supposed to do? Mine came with Dutty's V1 Diamond ROM.

TF3D links customization

I happily own a HD since Thursday after a Diamond and a Pro: HD is far better!!
I tried the utility posted in the diamond forum to change the default links to time and calendar, it does not work, after the patch the TF loops without starting.
Did anyone try already?

This seems to be a very great tool but I've only experimented with remapping my calendar.
Disable TF3D
Run SSMaPa.exe from phone
Check Extended Init and press Init
Click on setting and highlight replace calendar
Check "patch enabled"
Under new program type in the path of pocketinformant
-In my case it was /Program Files/WebIS/PocketInformant/PocketInformant.exe
Delete arguments
Type in directory where exe file found
-In my case it was /Program Files/WebIS/PocketInformant/
Click save
Click deploy tab and press deploy patch
Next you will need to copu these 2 files from your TP windows directory using activesync and resco explorer or a similar program to a folder on your PC.
_mpmantoday.dll and _mpman.exe
Next download file editor from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=2721128
Unzip folder to extract files
Once unzipped open Unsign folder and drag your two extracted files one by one over Unsigner.exe. Very quickly a msdos window will open up and it will seem as if nothing has happened but don't worry the files have been modified at this point.
Now just overwrite the 2 files with the same 2 files in your TP windows directory.
Go into your settings and reenable TF3D and you should hopefully have remapped the original calendar app with PocketInformant.
All donations, thanks, beer, coffee, women, kudos should go to Svenso and Schreda over at xda since this was done using their apps and help. I'm not worthy and only a messenger of my good fortune.

the same thing happened to me, still cant get it to work

Don't forget to unsign
Don't forget to unsign the changed files with the unsign.exe of the file editor tool - otherwise TF3D won't start!!!

thanx for the help but i cannot seem to find these two files
"_mpmantoday.dll and _mpman.exe"
you said they are in the TP windows directory
what do you mean by TP?
thanx

Iv figured it out, thanx

Hi xdaman85
Where did you find _mpman.exe and mpmantoday.dll?
Are these hidden files?
Many thanks for your help

Please can one of you help

I foolishly installed realone player onto my HD and when discovering that it was a piece of useless junk, I tried to uninstall it. Fail - the uninstall doesnt work.
Anyhow, I have manually removed all the files and most of the registry entries, however there is one entry im unsure of - its in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and is named RTSP.
Now in this folder under DEFAULTICON and SHELL/COMMAND it has the address where realone mobile once was. Im wondering what it says for you who have not installed that. Im thinking it perhaps was once HTC streaming media player - but am unsure. Please could you let me know what path it states in your registry.
Thanking you.

please can someone help? If you have a registry editor it will take you 2 mins to check the relevant key

bump bump bump

...RTSP\Shell\Open\Command: StreamingPlayer.exe %1
There is no DefaultIcon, only ...RTSP\Default: URL:rtsp protocol
MOD EDIT: tnyynt: ...and stop bumping like that!

Thank you very much.
Actually I found the reg entry should be
"StreamingPlayer.exe" "%1"

Let this be a warning to you all, do NOT install RealOne Player!!

[Req] HTC Audio Booster WVGA - "Resolved"

I recently put the stock TMOUS ROM on my Tilt2 and realized that T-mobile had taken "audio booster" out of the ROM. I found the HTC Diamond Audio booster on this forum but it is not compatible with WVGA. Does anybody have a WVGA compatible version of Audio booster? I'd greatly appreciate it.

HTC Audio Booster
Anybody???? Please.

Audio Booster
Any Cooks here that can make Audio booster 2.2 available? This is the version that is compatible with WVGA/Rhodium. Please. Bitte. Por Favor. S'il vous plait.

Still looking for Audio booster compatible with WVGA. I keep searching various sites with no luck.

+1 been looking for thing for at least two days straight...i finally just gave up

AudioBooster WVGA
Would someone be so kind and copy the following files from their windows directory and make them available to us?

ses_bg.bmp
ses_bg_w.bmp

AudioBooster WVGA
Ok. Here are the files. Extract and put in windows folder on your device.

AudioBooster WVGA
Here is the proper Reg file for Audiobooster. The one in the zip file above will not work.

I always wondered what's the purpose of Audio Booster. From the description i read, it seems to boost audio only when recording. Not during normal phone calls or playing music etc. Am i right or I am misinformed?

Works fine on both

It would not run on my Tmo Win 6.1. The executable did nothing when I tried to run it.

Install this cab first, then copy the files I posted to /Windows overwriting the existing files. Also import the reg file I posted. If the cab file does not install, then you need to manually delete all the Audio booster files (all 22 of them) in /windows first.

CAB?
is there any chance you have winCE Cab Manager and you can edit the diamond cab? I dont have my laptop with me so I cant build a cab out of your post..
The main issue is that in case someone makes a mistake, they cant uninstall or revert what they have done without a hard reset. (makes testing impossible for me)
thanks for the work youve done on this... If you havent compiled a cab in a week Ill do it once I get home.

Ok. I am running into some problems creating the cab with WinCeCab manager. I added the regular files to be installed into windows. How do I add the xml files? There are 2 option to add either a pre or post-provisional xml file, but when I try to add them I get an error message.

with WINCE cab manager you dont need xml files. you just add the files and shortcuts and then the reg entries. same as cooking an extended package. the trick to modifying a cab though, is that you add the new files overwriting the old.
Thanks for the cab I will try it right now.
EDIT: is there a way to add a shorcut for the context menu in the audio manager tab? or should I have installed it with manila disabled?
