Customize CommManagerRes.dll and PIN-Pad - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi everybody,
at this time i am cooking my own slim and fast rom with all tools i need and a clean outfit.
Now i want to edit the commmanagerres.dll with an resource-editor to change the bachground of the commmanager. i have replaced the original-background file and saved it. i have replaced the dll on the device but it doesnt open the commmanager then or only shows the softkey-buttons from commmanager ans transparent background or makes some other displayerrors.
how can i fix this problem ? Can anbody helb me with this problem or fix it for me (dll and backgroundfiles in the attached zip and explain how to do) ?
i also want to change the Background of the PIN-Pad at boottime to enter the pincode - which dll is to change for this ?
if i have the rom finished i will puplish it for anybody.

Font Problems with CommManager and Cube

Hi U all !!
I have a really bad problem...
After using a custom font for phonealarm (a digital kind one ... for the clock) and copied it to "fonts" subdirectory... for any kind of reason now CommManager and one of the pages of the cube is now using that font ... But the really strange and anoying thing is that if i remove that font commmanager and cube keeps using an "inexistent" font ... and there is no way to restore as it was before ...
I read 2 solutions in this forum .... :
- Copying verdana font from win pc to WM font directory ... It does not work...
- Hard Reset ... But this is not a solution since after installing phonealarm with my custom skin it will happend the same again ...
Any idea please ??
TY !
This seems to be a bug in at WM. It's well known to the people who use rlToday.
If you move the font from the '\windows\font' folder to '\windows' it will fix the problem with the comm manager, but Cube will still be the same.
(You can't actually move them, you have to rename them, then delete them. Changes aren't effective until a soft reset.)
This problem also affects some of the fonts in the scrabble clone XWORDS.
It'd be great to find a fix for this.
Hello !!
Ty for the answer but as i said if i remove the font ... comm manager and cube KEEPS using it ... no matter if the font is in .../fonts or directly in /windows/ since even deleting it ... nothing changes ... it keeps using the font ... so i imagine this font is well cached eith "other name" in any unknown location ...
Any idea Please !?
Please since this is affecting many people why dont we descover a solution ?? would be great for for a lot of people ... and of course for me ...
See U !

Replace HTC Touch Conn. Manager Icons

I have disabled all running processes said to be relevant, yet I am still not getting the access rights here. BTW I am replacing the Sprint (yellow) icons with the original (blue icons)...
Any tips here?
Thanks!
I know someone has to have faced this issue. Don't be shy.
The Graphics of the Comm Manager are stored in \Windows --> ReadOnlyMemory
Guess what it means...
Sorry but no way except replacing the graphics while cooking your own rom.
Greetings, Vi
or u can try using reshack
its very easy if u install Resco Explorer..it lets u write files or over right files IN ROM also..

Included in down load is the ExtROM and instructions it's been stripped to the bone just a couple of basic apps You DON'T need Opera Explorer for this just down load and follow instruction in "read_me_first.txt" and Enjoy M2D on BA
that's IT
M2D is based on explode CABs Edited a bit by me
No long winded blerb Try IT
If you do follow instruction then you will have a phone setup with contacts and MMS + provider settings ready to use

Hi there please make sure extrom folder "name" is correct "ExtROM"
Here's the cfg.txt
The only other thing I can think of is your phone for some reason did not see your SD Card
Check that you can see the contents of your card with file explorer Don't remove SD_card and Hard reset your device, And if the extrom does not load then navigate to the extrom folder and click on AutoRun.exe that should also launch the extrom as this rom is also UC compatible
regards
swampy395
thanks
the ext rom seems to work now but another problem is the pictures seem to have difficulty loading, and i cant even seem to view them directly from the file explorer

Hi there it looks like you may of had a bad flash, picture files should open in HTC Album, the first launch is a bit slow but gets quicker with use,
I would recomend you reflash the rom, make sure screen saver and any power saver options are turned off on your PC and don't interact with your pc while the rom is flashing hope this helps
regards
swampy395
P.S. don't know y but some times task manager causes probs you could remove it from extrom folder and try loading rom again
battery problem
Nice rom fast and stable. the only problem is that the battery indicator in today screen isn't working at all.it always show that the battery is fully charged when the battery status in settings is showing otherwise. any fix please?
hi swampy.. i tested ur rom and its COOL!!! i think am going to get used to this for now! i downloaded a new theme for my BA and it really rocks!
my concern is that u removed the application that i need most... which is the program "USBHDD". I guess your familiar with this. This makes ur BA a very useful USB device..
any *.cab file for this program? I badly needed it.
tnx very much mr swampy and am looking forward in encountering your beloved wokr on our BA!!!

maybe in your next updated ROM you can include it perhaps...???
tnx swampy!
The Most Stable among all ROMS
This is by far, the most stable and smoothest ROM I've used. Except that sometimes, after a reset, date & clock returns to the ROM's default. Further, The date format seems to be permanent at dd/mm/yyyy.
Having M2D installed, this ROM also has the fastest boot and response time. HTC Opal keyboard works fine but the Opal canvas dialpad doesn't work well.
I was able to change some part of the M2D theme except the clock face cos i don't know anything about xml editing.
My workaround to keep the battery from draining fast and from resetting when it drains down to below 70% is to keep the backlight low when on battery power.
Thank you very much for the wonderful ROM, it somehow reincarnates my IIs, i like it better now than what it was when i first took it out of the box.

IIRC, the link will appear under "Settings". Anyway, if USBHDD doesn't work for you, why not try WM5torage?

May I ask how you got Opal CommManager to work, swampy395? I tried the blue cab from here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430468
...(albeit not on a WM6.1 ROM; I installed it on Helmi's WM6) and the WLAN switch was never working. Also tried the reg fix, but I can't even find the "AdapterName" string in the HKLM\Software\Drivers\WLANHKLM\Software\Drivers\WLAN branch of the registry (first step). Even adding it in the aforementioned place myself didn't help.
Of course I do know about the BA's WLAN bug. With the CommManager that comes with Helmi's WM6 ROM you have to activate WLAN once via the link in the Settings folder after each reboot, but then, finally, the CommManager WLAN switch works. However, I couldn't reproduce that with the OPAL CommManager. Never got the WLAN switch working.
Any ideas?

Try this one I think it's explodes or edited by him, I cooked it in and it's just fine
P.S. make sure that you stop your current coms manager with task manager in settings before install or it will fail or do soft reset then install
The file link that you requested is not valid.

Manually change background on TF3D

Hi everyone,
I have installed the TF3D configurator 0.6.7 and ArchY's XenSepia theme (works great, thanks!). BUT, I have a minor issue;
I would like to use ArchY's background for FT3D, so I tap to the "Setting"-tab, tap on "Background". But notting happens!!
So, my question is:
Is there any way to change the background in TF3D manually ? via regedit, an settings .xml or something like that ?
All replys are appreciated
It has something to do with some _manila file in your windows folder, I'm not sure which ones.

My Topaz wants to shutdown everytime I turn on the device

Hi
I have this problem after install and reinstall some apps in order to get a simple program to do softresets in my Topaz (D2):
Every time I turn on my D2, and inmediatly after to input my pasword, it opens the menu asking me if I want to turn off my device (see screenshot).
I think one of the apps that I tested has made some changes in the registry, but I have no idea about where can I find these changes.
Someone can help me? maybe someone knows which part of the registry I must look to solve my problem...
Diamond 2
ROM 1.39.412.1 (ESN)
Windows Mobile 6.1
Manila: 2.0.37890.0
Solved: One of the apps installed a file called "ShutXP" in the "Windows/Start" folder. I deleted this file and it solved my problem.
Sorry for a stupid and auto-solved post
