Hi!
I bought an XDA Exec about a month ago, and I've already had a problem with it. I installed some 3rd party software which it didn't seem to approve of.
Anyway, to cut a long story short - the file camera.exe now appears to be missing. It's not on the O2 disks, and I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help by sending it to me, please? You'll have my undying gratitude if you do. I might even stretch to buying you a beer.
One thing, though - I'm a complete beginner with this device, so please make any explanations of what to do as non-techie as possible.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.
Okay, I fixed camera.exe. 8)
Thing is, now camera.lnk seems to be corrupt too. Would anyone be kind enough to let me have a copy of that?

Try freeware Total Commander for PocketPC, this cool file manager can create a new fresh shorcuts.
Help me!!!
I got the same problem. Where did you find the camera.exe and camera.ink file.Could you please send me to [email protected]
camera.exe
Could you tell me how you fixed it?
and if i need to replace the file where can i get them from?

You need to replace camera.exe - you can download it from here. Or at least, you could a couple of weeks ago.

The thing is, if you try to add camera.exe to your XDA, it won't allow you to do that. You need to zip the file, then copy camera.zip to your XDA, unzip it on the XDA and then it works!
The problem is that the camera button won't work then, because camera.lnk is also corrupt. You need to create a new shortcut for the new camera.exe. I can't remember offhand how I did it, but I'll check it and get back to you.
I have search for about three hours now. On the forums and google. I can not find a way to make this work. Any help would be much appreciated.
I am simply trying to customize "phcanOverbmp.dll" so that it matches my phone pad skin. I use resource hacker to change the images and when I save the new DLL it looses the digital signature (expected).
I am using signtool.exe from the Visual Studio SDK and the certificates from the WM5 PPC SDK.
I tried wizard mode and I get "The Digital Signature wizard did not complete."
I also ran it via command line with the "/f SDKSamplePrivDeveloper.pfx" switch and I get "SignTool Error: ISignedCode::Sign returned error: 0x80070057"
I have tried "signcode_294" with the .bat file, that gives me "Error: Signing Failed. Result = 80070057, (-2147024809)"
I researched this issue and found that if it is XIP you cant sign it, but this .dll was taken from my device, so it should be PE.
I am really at a loss...
PLEASE help me solve this. There are soooo many things I have customized that I cant use cause of this issue.
Thanks, Lew
Ok, the problem is you are trying to edit a signed file. This is a big no no!
The thing is signature has a checksum. Once you edit a signed file it automatically becomes invalid so you can't run or resign it.
You need to find a way (sorry, can't help you there) to remove the signature before editing the file.

If you run the sdk cab before replacing "phcanOverbmp.dll" it will work. It did for the batteryfix project that i helped jimm98y with
download one of his earlier zips that has the file you need in it. Can be combined all in one cab. edit i attached it
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=267321&highlight=battery+fix
Thanks,
I installed that cab to my TyTN and the dll still is a no go. Any other ideas or ways to digitally sign it? I am really desperate, I have been trying for soooo long to get these to work.
Thanks, Lew
Thats strange can you send me the file to my email [email protected] and i will try to get it to work. I will include it in a cab i made before and see if that does the trick.
Microsoft has problems signing on windows 2000 SP4?
Any chance you're using Windows 2000 SP4, If so you might want to check out this link.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829924
Probably not the issue but, I figured I'd mention it just in case.
Sorry, but I am running Windows 95 version C. So I don't think that is the issue.
I just got a chance to check the forums, I will e-mail you the dll.
Thanks again, Lew
P.S. I am running XP sp2
I've got a similar problem. I tryed to edit some dll's from HTC Touch Phone Pad International, but since they are digitaly signed, i can't change the contents without invalidating the digital signature. The goal would be to make the phone pad look more like the dialpad. I've created all the pictures I need, and I know which dll's to change. I'm using PE Explorer to edit the resources from the dll's, but first I need a way to remove the digital signature, and after changes are made, re-sign it.
Advices anyone?

Well I got it to work. With some help I was able to rebuild the signature in the changed dll's.

How did you achieve this? I am having the same problem and i guess i need to somehow remove the signature too.
Yes, it'll be great to have some information about achieving this!
Thanks in advance
any more information on how to do this?
Did anyone figure out a way to do this ?

Hello there,
I was just wondering if someone is able to create a workable cab file for these dumped ROM files. I could not find any cabs already created.
Thanks so much for your time!!
vjgrace
Do those include the depended-upon files like the dlls and lnks? If not there's no point cabbing them up. It looks like they might just be the exe files for the games.
Funnily enough I was thinking of creating a cab for those games at some point so I can pop them onto any future 'light' or 'superclean' ROMs without having to cook them in from one of the available kitchens. But I haven't created a cab before so I'd need all the files that come with, i.e. the exes and lnks and any dlls. (I think that's all they use, about 8 or 10 files between them. I 'm doing other stuff just now but if noone's posted any cabs soon I'll make one.
Anyone who can save me the bother of finding out which files I need if they already know them (and even attaching them) would help of course!

Cheers fella.
Dunno why but the exe and one dll in there are zero-byte files for some reason, but I'll assume the list is full and get them from my own rom here.
Now we'll see how long it'll take me to learn to make cab files from a standing start. This could be either hours or days. Don't hold your breath..
Thanks for your help!!
Thanks chunkymonkey for your effort in creating the cabs and thanks Mike Parsons for your contribution for the files. It looks like when I dumped my original files I did not have the "hide system files information" unticked.
Your help is much appreciated.

Here's version 1.
You need to create your own shortcuts.
Solitaire works great!
Thanks chunkymonkey that was quick!!
Solitaire works great but bubble breaker kicks an error SHCreateMenuBar Failed...Cannot open Bubble breaker resource file.
Thanks again for your efforts!
vjgrace
Righto. I'll let you know if I get that sorted.
vjgrace - can you (or anyone) search you PPC for softkb.dll pls?
Not inc on this Satin ROM and I don't want to have to flash a new ROM just to get the dll file and then flash back.
Ta. (Otherwise this'll have to wait for when I next do flash ROM - most likely when Faria brings new one out)
You got it!
Hello chunkymonkey,
Right now I am in the process of redumping the recently released dopod wwe and hopefully it will be in there.
And here it is...
Thanks again,
vjgrace
Ta. Bear with me.
Ah, no, I've got that package file, do you have the dll itself kicking about anywhere, perhaps on your ppc?
(DISREGARD above - I didn't look properly in the zip, sorry)
Try this one.
Should work and have shortcuts, but they're not correct shortcuts, i.e. going into Programs instead of Games in Start Menu. Also BubbleBreaker has no space between the words.
Sorry I can't test them for you but games are already burned into the ROM I'm using.
V3 - took the shortcuts back out and added the correct ones as a separate cab.
I need to get the shortcuts to install properly. Just needs me to work out inserting srtuff into the xml file of 'Games.cab' but not from the other one. I don't know xml as you can no doubt tell.
For now though, these 2 should make the Games folder the same as presinstalled ones, including the games folder icon for the start menu.
Uness someone who can test it tells me different.
Great Work and Effort!!
Hello chunkymonkey,
Boy you are on the ball!! Solitaire is working like a champ but the bubble breaker still gives me the same error, it very well may be something on my end because I have installed the Dopod Lite version by edhaas (great slim version) and it is a very clean/light version may be missing some files in the ROM, I don't know.
You definitely have given me the inspiration to pursue this further, attempting to create the cabs on my own...You have created a workable game from start to finish without having created a cab before, so THANK YOU!!
On a side note, the shortcuts are not working, the game folder is created but the shortcuts are dead, but thanks anyway.
Once again..thanks for your time,
vjgrace

Rom version 1.10.661.41 if that helps... sry just got it today and don't really get all of this yet
cant anyone help me?
You can't expect an answer within the hour, man You are using a Diamond? What kind of cab did you install? If you have a diamond, you have TF3D (also known as Manila) preinstalled and you're not supposed to install anything...
so what where you trying to do? and can you post the link of the page that has the cab file you loaded?
we have to know more in detail you just cant say. i installed something on my car and now it wont start.
you installed a cab ( i installed something on my car )
now it wont start ( you delteded the xml file and now nothing happens )
just give us more in detail what you where trying to do. what program or cab was it and what was it for. what carrier do you have?
Can someone please give me a link of a registry editor that they recommend and preferably one that I can dl directly to my phone and install it from there. Id greatly appreciate it.
Total Commander
You'd find yourself lost for starters if you searched for the registry editor function in totalcommander.
You need to go to the root of the device, and go into "\\Plugins" from there to reach it.
Download this one. I think (besides Total Commander or so) it is a must have, because you can edit your registry from your PC, no need to install on your phone at all.

If you're going to edit the registry, be prepared to do extra independent research to check and double check what you're changing so you don't mess something up.

I use: CeRegEditor
It is easy to use from the PC, and have great features like, import/export, backup, and the very important compare feature (e.g., you can do a backup, and than after installing a program, compare the registry to the backup, so you can know which changes the program did).
And of course its free...
The guy wants one he can use on his phone and so do I. Any suggestions? A cab link would be divine but not necessary.
on my touch diamond on Mak's ROM's thrre was an app im sure it was ph registry editor ill see if it works on hd2
maybe next time a little research and post in the right section.

Reg Editor
The reason im asking for one to be installed on my phone is that I have it synced to a Mac.
Boot Camp
i would also like to know the answer to this... boot camp isn't the answer, nor is parallels, thats not what he is asking for...
i did use resco i think but the flashed new rom and haven't got it anymore so can't be sure. its not freeware either i believe?
any info
Does anyone recommend a program?
