manilla files - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Hi Guys
I know this is going 2 sound stupid. I apologize.
When i try to replace manilla files in the windows folder I get a message -> xxxxx could not be placed on the device. You do not have permission to create this item.
I only have the option to skip or cancel the action.
So how can I get all those modified manilla files on my diamond effortlessly??
F.Y.I. this happens while TouchFlo 3D is disabled.

U cant use standard file manager....
Use Total Commander or similar..!
This has been asked and answered many times before...

I'm trying 2 test hundreds of manilla files.
Doing it on the phone would drive me insane.
So thats why I'm using windows explorer on my notebook to do it.
But I suppose I will have to give in and use Total Commander

Display filename extensions in File Explorer?

Hi there,
I have used Spb Pocket Plus in the past and one feature I really liked was that it tweaked the default File Explorer so that filename extensions are displayed.
I no longer use Pocket Plus but I really want to be able to see filename extensions. I have tried Total Commander as a replacement but it is not a seamless replacement. The same goes for Resco. I would prefer to avoid using additional software to save on space.
I assume that Spb must have simply tweaked the File Explorer application or WM2003SE simply by creating or amending a registry entry. Does anyone know how they do it? I'd really like to get this functionality back without having the overhead of Pocket Plus on my device.
You could use resco file explorer it will allow you to show the files extensions..

Can't you read? He specifically doesn't want to use Resco because again, it doesn't integrate with the File Explorer in the way that SPB Pocket Plus does.
I'll have a quick dig around in the registry for you, don't hold your breath as I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking for, but I'll have a look anyway, I might come across it (I kinda half-know what to look for, I'll definitely know what it is when I come across it )

Thanks Chris!
Not had much luck so far, it must be a shell extension which P+ adds... I'll keep on doing some research, as I'd quite like it too.

Hi Peterw,
I do understand your point in space saving. Resco file-explorer combined with registry & ftp add-ons takes around 1Mb to install, but you can easily install it in the storage folder. Guess you know already that resco gives you much more than file-extensions only. Personally I like it, I know it's a matter of taste & maybe BIG Storage.
If I happen to stumble around a registry key to solve it, I'll let you know.
regards, M

New to PDA/XDA's need alittle help ..

I recently got an O2 Stellar (aka Kaiser) and ive been playing with all of the today screens / apps posted here for the past day or 2, but one thing thats really puzzling me is alot of apps say Copy blabla.dll to Windows directory.
Well when i check out the folders on the phone via PC (USB) it shows me all the folders except Windows, so i cant do it that way, so i do it via the phone but it doesnt seem to let me Paste things into the directory via the phone itself.
So was wondering whats the easiest way to put files in the windows directory?
Sorry if thats a newbie question, new to this but im a quick learner

I believe you need to use a more high-powered file explorer type utility. Haven't used it myself but Total Commander is referred to a lot in the forums and I use Resco Explorer - the latter is certainly worth the small outlay to buy it.
Total Commander for now. Not too sure if you would use Resco's version to its full extent. Start with Total Commander and after that you can see if you are interested enough to use Resco. (For the Total Commander link please download the "ARM/XSCALE/
PXA" version not "MIPS/SH3" version.)
Ohh nice, that makes sense, thanks for links installing it now.
now i can experiment with more apps etc, no doubt ill break it soon
is there any other apps i really should have? like "Whenever i reset my PDA i "Always" install these!" (Total Commander seems to be one of the must haves)
theres some nice work done here i dont usually sign up to forums but this one was definitely worth doing.
Those that I ALWAYS install after every hard reset, you can google them.
1. System management groups:
Resco Explorer, SK Tools, SK Shortcut Manager, AE Button Plus, FTouchSL, Phone Weaver
2. Multimedia groups:
S2V, Conduit Pocket Player
3. Interface groups:
PointUI (highly recommended), Wisbar Advance, S2U2
Welcome!
I wish I were a mod so that this statement would mean more, but since your initial question has been answered, do you mind moving/making a new topic about "Must Have" items? Try some searching, too.
I'll list out a couple freeware goodies, which you should try out before you buy applications. I have Total Commander (way faster than Resco Explorer, I feel, although Resco is more user friendly), S2U2, S2P, S2V, PocketCM Contacts, PCMKeyboard, TouchPal keyboard, Oxios Memory, WM5torage, Palringo, and Opera Mini 4
About 25% of the apps I use below...
Thanks for the replys guys, think i have enough to sink my teeth into now
Azimuth21, i agree i should have made another thread but didnt want to spam the forum with noobness hehe, done some searching but its always the obvious ones that end up being missed out (like the explorer)
P.s
PointUI looks brilliant! will definitely check that out

How Do I make Program Icons In Programs List?

Hay all,
I've just got the Need For Speed Game.
It runs fine using the touch screen control but how do I make an icon for it in the programs list?
No matter where I stick it on the phone or the memory card when I click on the "All Programs"
it doesnt show in the list. I have to go in to the file manager to find it to run it.
Thanks
Its easy my friend.
Open your file explorer i.e. Total Commander or File explorer 2 and navigate to location of Need For Speed. Create shortcut to this by holding down stylus on icon till menu pops up. Once you have created shortcut move or copy it to /Windows/Start Menu or /Windows/Start Menu/Games whichever you prefer. If you now go to Start > All Programs it should be there
Ha cheers bud
Can you tell I'm now to all this Windows Mobile stuff?
I presume the 2 attched files are better file explores? I'll give them a shot in a sec - cheers buddy

Better than standard stock rom explorer, though cooked roms have different explorers depending on which you use, i.e. some use Total Commnader, some File Explorer 2, some stock explorer

File Explorer Freezing in TD2 (Windows)

Hi guys
I've had my TD2 for about 6 months and all good so far - thank to this site
Recetly, I can't get in to File Explorer via the phone. When i click on the icon, I get the Windows logo (the horrid round pie-chart one!) and it just sticks for ever! I have to "X" out of it but then it locks up my RAM so i have to do a soft reset each time
I notice that when i click on File Explorer the directory it is trying to get in to is Windows - which i know from previous use is the slowest one to get in to out of all the directories (e.g. My Programs, Documents, etc). I wonder if this is a cause?
By the way, I can Sync all ok (via ActyiveSync on XP) and can get in to the different directories including Windows this way just not through the phone.
Please tell me i won't have to do a hard reset - I really don't want to do this! Tell me there's an xda-developers approved app out there somewhere!
Thanks for the help guys.

I had my phone set to the windows folder in File Explorer once but it did not lock my phone, sorry I cant help anymore.

I had this exact problem. There is a registry edit you can do (sorry I cant remember exactly what it is) so File Explorer stops trying to load the Windows folder when it starts.
The other solution is to use Total Commander, which I think is a much better file explorer.
Thanks for the response guys.
ozmbie - cheers for this, I'll have a look at Total Commander tonight. Pity you can't remember the reg edit.
Anyone out there know the edit??
Thanks again
Mo
You can use also Resco explorer.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\File Explorer\LocalPath
Change from "\windows" to just"\" (without the "" of course)
Pete_S - the reg edit worked a treat.
Cheers mate.

I've had File Explorer do this when it was set to look at Windows. As you know, there's a stupid amount of files in \Windows so that it takes File Explorer (or Explorer over ActiveSync), ages to read the folder and show the results. This problem is exacerbated massively if you put a sort on the folder other than by "Name". I've done that, and had it take 5 minutes or so before the list appears. So if you're in the same situation you probably don't need to edit the registry, you just need to leave it for long enough. Just go and make a cuppa!

Aah, funny you mention the "sort folder by", as mine was set to "type" (not sure how) so i guess that's what was making it hang for ages! Will bear it in mind next time.

Cant add programs to list

HI, i have seen on this WM6.5 that i can't add any program (ie one thats not say google maps or one of those big companies)
i can run the program via file manager and clicking the application .exe
the phone still wont see the application as a program.
i had a jasjam before and the prgrams i am trying to add worked fine but now on 6.5 cant do this.
the only way is to run these apps, well not run but to get a short cut, is on a program like CHome but then i move away from HTC sense start up display that is nicer looking.
like i said the programs work fine, just can see them in programs.
anything that will help?
cheers
have you posted a shortcut to your windows\start menu\programs\
I'm running 6.5 and any time I have a program installed on my sd card or trying to run an .exe from the storage card (or even if the .exe is just in another folder) thats what I do and it shows in my start menu or whatever subfolder I put it in in the start menu.

Yeap, in programs folder as an .exe, other folders like goggle maps are there too. The programs still don't show or work. Should i not try and get an .cab version? since looking into this takes you into trying to understand a pda rather than a PC. The .exe files still cant be seen, i have to run them via file explorer, although now loaded a short cut via button strokes so am using that to make the task a little easier.
I ran a .cab file on another program and found it distributed files with icons and other th9ngs that seem to integrate better into the host rather than an .exe
Also been looking at all the apps these phones can have its amazing.
I have one on my phone that can change a set of traffic lights in my city!
With authorisation of course, its my job, just saying how the PDA has really started to take off. become the real modern Swiss army knife.
