I'm developting an app....
Because I don't run an English rom on my ppc, I need to know how in ENGLISH are called these paths:
1) the folder you see in "Start->programs" (maybe /windows/start menu/programs ??)
2) /program files (the folder where all the programs are installed on device memory... is it correct?)
Thanks in advance...
First is correct.
So is second.

You got them right, but I think you need to use "\" instead of "/"
Good Luck!

No probs.
Thanks to both....
Depending on the language you use I would suggest to retrieve the special folder locations/path names with the help of windows.
For C/C++ there is a function called SHGetSpecialFolderPath.
Take a look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa453707.aspx

We have the technology we can rebuilt it.
It occured to me that we should be able to build the ultimte "base" rom to use in the kitchen.
I would propose that it be based on the TMO 4.01.16 but make the installation of all the additional apps such as TMO toolbar, myemail, pdf and ppt viewers optional. I would also propose that sample windows media files and be removed.
Such a rom would give us the maximum space into which to add the appilications we chose but still allow us the flexibility to add some of the apps and settings that service providers supply. (much as the old Devlopers ROM did)
Just a thought

PS 3 cheers for Lumpistefan and Makis!!! :!: :!: :!:
That is a good idea. I think we can do it with mkrom.zip. We will need a linux op. but I think it will do the job under windows with cygwin.
I started to see the txt files, ini files etc, but I am at the beginning.
I want to make a good rom, like you. With no helps, no unneccesarry files, custom files (my ringtones for example) in the rom.
I only need time.
how
can you actually remove files from ROM ?
I couldn`t do it.
It will be great indeed.

We want to build a ROM without some files. Not to remove files from a working ROM in the devices flash memory.
There is a file in the mkrom/cfg folder:
initobj.txt
It contains a filelist. I think there is a place to delete the files. But I have not tried. I have not time now.

You're wrong.the initobj.txt file just conatins a list where to copy some files out of the rom. All Files are located in \Windows. The initobj.txt files contains the list, which file should be moved to wihich directory.
90% of this are the files in "Start Menu" and Help ....
So i see now chance to delete files out of the rom....

[size=+0][18/11/2008] SSMaPa2D (Alpha) 0.2.2.1 (18/11/2008)[/size]
Hi guys,
simple Manila2D patcher -> SSMaPa2D version 0.2.2.1
this version is only for Manila2D devices! For Manila3D use this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2400995
please test it and let me know if there are bugs…
Patch options:
.) Replace Calender
.) Replace Mail
.) Replace Opera
.) Replace Camera
.) Time Click Man2d
.) Bluetooth Settings
Note: extended Init not possible at the moment. If someone facing UnauthorizedAccessException tell here.
How does it work ?
1.) Copy SSMaPa2D.exe to pda and start it.
2.) Press "Init"
3.) Under settings – click on description line what you want to change
4.) Then change the program what you want in fields below + click on "patch" + "save"
5.) Under deploy – click "Deploy".
After that you can exit the program.
If your files are signed, you're asked if you want to unsign them.
Please note, I didn't find a way to remove the signatures in a 'correct' way. I do an exe-based-deactivating. This is ok, as long as you don't want to resign them. If you want to resign them with your own certificate chose no and do it by hand.
Also I didn't have a manila2d testdevice... So it was a little bit difficult to test the application, but I had a motivator and beta tester
Thank you camel (camro)!
Please donate for me! I'm a apprentice and use a lot of my free time for working on the computer, to be able to create such tools.
[size=+2]Thank you [/size]

I like the idea of this, but I am having a problem. When I select a description to edit and then select the ..., although all folders is selected, not all of them are showing up. I am missing Program Files, Windows, etc. Looking forward to a fix for this.
this is a "file explorer" related problem.
ex:
1.) please check the link file of creating of a "new appointment" on thumbal folder in start menu with a file browser (ex: total commander resco explorer)
2.) copy the string from there then to m2d patcher . the same on paramter - i (have tested it) and it works
@sven - maybe you can post a screen shot of the gui on first posting.

I realize I can create the path manually or copying it from a link, but I would much rather be able to browse to the file I want and have the app create the path . I use Resco File Explorer, so getting the full path is no issue. Thanks.
It seems I can only assign the software in the storage card. Is there any way for me to assign the software in the main memory ?

you can copy the software the every location and you can start the software from every location.
if you need this very often - create a link to the exe and move it to your start menu folder - thats it

i know that there is somewhere an extra plugin for browsing easier to folder directions.... maybe somebody can do a search under xda...

don't copy the whole path.
enter only the exepath, then do the arguments in argument box.
for example:
exe: \Interner Speicher\Programme\ThumbApps\ThumbCal\ThumbCal.exe
argument: -i
working dir: \Interner Speicher\Programme\ThumbApps\ThumbCal\

Ok, I guess I can make you easier here. Download the attachment and unzip and copy inside 2 files (you should choose "show all files" option when using the file explorer) into \windows.
After that, go to Settings/System tab, then you should see "File dailog Changer". Enter the software, and choose the "Exchange Standard File Dialog, click "add". Now it should trigger the shield feature of file browser for SSMAPA2D now.
Now you can assign the software as you want by using SSMAPA2D.

Folks,
I've done a search but can't find what i'm looking for. Basically, i'm looking to delete some words from the predictive dictionary that have ended up being added by mistake.
Does anyone know where I'll find the dictionary file on the phone.
Thanks
Bump....Anyone???
Unzip and copy this .exe to your phone and you can edit/delete words in your T9 mate!
Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks
It's great! I got the same problem and now can slove it with this tool. Many thanks!
Actually, this program should already be on your Topaz, in Windows - so you can just run it (use File Explorer to find it) and delete any words you wish.

Is there any way to change the default page from att.net? It would be nice if you could set it to a homepage of your own choice. I have opera homepage set to Yahoo mobile version, but it does not use that homepage from the TF3D tab...WTF.
Val
Have the same problem here.
no news????
No one knows how to solve the problem??
Yeah, it's easy. You have to edit the file in /Application Data/Manila/InternetPortal-en-US.xml.
Copy it to your storage card, plug in the phone to your computer with usb as storage device. Open the file, change the NavigateUrl="att.net" to NavigateUrl="what ever website you want", save it, then overwrite it back to Application Data/Manila/
Also you can do it with Total Commander on the phone. Find the file. Hold down on it and go to properties, uncheck Read Only and System, click ok. Click File at the bottom, click on >>>>>, click on Edit. Change the NavigateUrl= (same as above), click ok (upper right corner). Hold down on the file, click Properties, check Read Only and System, click ok
That's it!

Hi. I have a WWE ROM there are additional files "InternetPortal.xml" in the Windows directory for different languages. So check there for your language. If there is no InternetPortal-it-IT.xml file, just create one. I think this will work.

It does'nt work.
I tried to do what in "Leo Hints & Tips" for exp:
"1. Enable Hidden Default Games
Go to the Windows directory and copy bubblebreaker.exe and solitaire.exe to the games folder as shortcuts in Windows\Start Menu. Make sure to unhide system files to see the games listed."
I can't copy files as instructed (working with total commander) and if the files were copied I can't reach/see them.
I think you may have misunderstood the original instructions.
Open file manager (not total commander) and navigate to Windows folder.
Locate the file BubbleBreaker (it's 46K, not one of the others)
Highlight it and keep it pressed till you get the menu with "Copy" in it. Do Copy.
Scroll back to the top and go into "Start Menu\Programs\Games".
Do "Menu, Edit, Paste Shortcut".
As I'm a pedant, I renamed the shortcut, removing the "Shortcut to" prefix.
Then, when you go Start Menu & then Games, BubbleBreaker is in there.
Now I've just done that exactly as typed above, whilst describing it for you, so it should work for you.
Let us know if you still have a problem.
Hi,
It works!
Now I got the idea.

Don't know what to say mate - it's in my Windows folder. There's a bunch of files called eT9.Rhodium.xxxx and then eT9MyWords is after them (directly after eT9DeadKeys).
I take it you did unhide system files as previously suggested? (I'm not sure if you need to do that for the games suggestion).
I have a slide deferent question. I would like to delet exe file from thew windows folder but I can't because I can't select Delete, have anyone some advice?
delete exe file
it has been awhile since i have done this, also some files are impossible or almost impossible to delete.
if you have been trying to do it from ur phone, go instead, to your active sync/windows mobility center. click file mgt and browse contents of device, navigate to the exe u want to delete. i have done it before and it has worked on several ocassions. be careful on what u r deleting, you may want to do a google on it b/f u do it
if this does not do it, i got no clue hope this helps someone
