Is there still an extended ROM with WM05?

Just got my device back from "the shop" with a new MB as it had the stuck in bootloader problem. Unless I'm missing something, with WM2005 there's no extended ROM, or, as it used to be called "storage".
Is it that no one has figured out how to unlock the extended ROM yet, or is there no longer such a space in the physical ROM?

Yeah, I know about that thread, which was started months ago back when WM2003 was the ppc OS, which did have a unlockable extended ROM. There are only two posts at the end of the thread about unlocking the extended ROM with WM2005. Neither of them confirms anything.
That's why I made a new thread, because there isn't an unlocker for WM2005 yet PReDiToR and I wanted to find out if anyone was working on it.

The Universal never ran on anything but WM5. It was marketed as the first WM5 device available.

By "Extended ROM" and "unlocker" do you mean what I think you mean? The 10MB partition that holds operator .CABs that are loaded after a hard reset? And you want to take away the write protect, make it visible and use it as storage?
If we are talking at cross purposes, please let me know.

My mistake, the Uni always only had WM05. You're right.
Re-read the extended ROM unlocker thread. Got into extended_ROM with Total Commander. Moved all the cab files out of ext_ROM. So, that can still be done in ROM version 1.30.76.
But, I haven't figured out yet how to "see" the extended ROM. In prior versions of the ROM you could see the separate 10MB partition using the memory utility. Haven't been able to do that yet.

You're welcome.
It's a doddle, two files to run, a little registry edit and a reboot.
I called mine "Storage" and after compressing the files I have, this is what it looks like:

Sorry for the mix-up, PReDiToR. The methods in the ext_ROM thread still work for ROM version 1.30.76 to unlock the ext_ROM. (See my edited post above.) I've gotten into the ext_ROM and moved all the cab files out, but I can't "see" this area to use it, though I can see it as empty in Total Commander.
Maybe it's that I need to rename it, but I thought the utility I got from BuzzDev.net renamed it "extended_ROM". Going to fiddle around with it more.

the utility only makes it writable. you still need to edit the registry

The ROM version doesn't have any effect on it. The factory partitions the DOC, we're not altering that setup (yet). If you reflash your device the ExtROM data goes back into the ExtROM and it is all locked up again in the new OS that you installed.
To use this 10MB You need to do three things, and one optional step:
Run Buzz's unlocker.
Make it load in the right boot phase (Reg Edit).
Make it mount as visible (Reg Edit).
Change the name if you want (Reg Edit).
The unlocker is on page 1 of that thread, the registry edits are on page two.
Once you have done those things, do a soft reset (using psShutXP preferably, or wait 5 minutes before pressing the reset pin).

It had been so long since I did this before, didn't remember having to do all of those steps.
Got it up and running now with the extra 10 MB of space in extended_ROM. Had to use this version of the registry key edit:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemStora geManagerAutoLoadTRUEFFS_DOC1]
"Bootphase"=dword:00000002
"Order"=dword:00000001
"LoadFlags"=dword:00000001
"DriverPath"=" Drivers/BuiltIn/TrueFFS1"
Thanks for the help!

If you do the other registry change - MountHidden = 0 - You will see it as another storage card in your file explorer, and changing the name to something else is helpful.
Once you have done these two things the option to install things to the 10MB comes up when you run .CABs.
No problem.

Yeah, uninstalled a few things from program memory and installed them in extended_ROM. Had done that before the JJ went down for repair - glad to get an extra few megs of program mem back and have extended_ROM space to spare.

Had already done the other registry edit below, but am not able to change the name from extended_ROM2. Not a problem, but a little annoying.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"MountHidden"=dword:00000000
"Folder"="Extended_ROM"
"PartitionDriver"=""
"Name"=""
"DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"

Try this, which is straight from my Uni:
Code:
[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
(Default) = (Value not set)
DefaultFileSystem = FATFS
Folder = Storage
MountHidden = 0x0 (0)
Name =
PartitionDriver =
[HKLM\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
(Default) = (Value not set)
BootPhase = 0x2 (2)
DriverPath = Drivers\BuiltIn\TrueFFS1
LoadFlags = 0x1 (1)
Order = 0x1 (1)
This should have it loading at the right time and you can change the name from "Storage" to whatever you want, assuming you haven't changed any of the other DOC settings.
I know when I was playing with the "ShadowROM" (TrueFFS2) I managed to get it in the wrong bootphase and it came up Storage2. I think Buzz posted something about that in another thread.
I wouldn't live with it having the wrong name, I have to get it absolutely right. I spent ages tonight trying to get the WADesktop \Themes folder into \Storage which caused all sorts of problems and registry edits.
My device, my way.
edit: missed a line of code.

Ok, that registry change got the name of extended_ROM area changed to "storage". Thanks much!!
[Off track, but ... boy, you're right about WADesktop being a pain with which to work. When I changed the name of the extended_ROM to storage, had to change a line in quite a few dock and other files. WAD was much easier to work with when everything you made for your "your way" desktop was contained in the file default.skin. Now, to see or change stuff on your WAD desktop, you have to open up and change a ton of little files. Still, WAD is great stuff. Without it, the desktop is painfully restrictive and way too boring.]
I'm not tackling putting the WAD themes folder into storage. Getting the main WAD files and the WA2 files into storage frees up enough space - as much as my patience can handle.
I'm impressed that you did it, though!

Back up before you try this, as the thread says, it usually leads to an unavoidable or sudden hard reset.

If you venture in, tell us what you find =)

Hmm ... looks like if you use it, it isn't shadowing the storage memory anymore and on a soft reset it hard resets back to mimic the storage memory. It's kind of like a RAID 1, but not exactly.
Maybe someone will figure out a way to not have it tied to the storage memory any longer and make it usable as an extra storage area.
However, I think it was intended as a backup area. A better hack might be this - finding find a way to use it as a backup for the OS + installed software, with a way to take an image of what's installed on demand. Then, if something gets messed up and you need to restore, you could restore the image you took.

iPAQ hw6945 need reg entries - accidently deleted!

I have two problems and after searching for days I still can not find anything, so I was hoping that I could get someone that has an iPAQ hw6945 to please go to the following registry keys and tell me what entries are in your registry. Thanking you in advance for your help.
1. Can no longer see battery status (current or hidden) because I accidently erased something, & have pin pointed it out to these two entries.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\BatteryIF
"Index"=dword:
"Order"=dword:
2. Just curious if anyone else has entries or just blank like mine.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Global Locate\Gpsct\3rdPartyCleaner
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Global Locate\Gpsct\BackDoor

Here is what I have on my 6955:
BatteryIF
Dll = Battery.Dll (string)
Index = 2 (dword)
Order = 0 (dword)
Prefix = BAT (string)
The Global locate entries you have listed are also empty on my 6955.
Hope that helps you out.

Thanks mdelleman for your response. I will try these, keep your fingers crossed. I appreciate your help!

Hi,
You can't just add these values. You'll need to run the calibration in your Settings | Screen

Tks Dirk for reply, but i can not get passed the calibration screen on my iPaq, i don't know why, so i skipped this process by deleting welcome.exe...and i think that with this values, i can fix those alignment problems.

How 'bout if you could add another seperate launcher tab with unlimited(maybe, I've added 48 already) shortcuts? Its another tab for tf3d, not a seperate plugin/app. I think I got that, still have to check something, but downside is you have to enter the shortcuts into xml file instead of linking directly from programs list. Good thing about the xml though, you can enter the link, arguments for the link, and an iconpath. If no iconpath is selected, then it will use chosen program's icon. Also with xml, you can save xml file so that after a flash or hard reset, just copy your custom xml back into windows again to get all setup again. I should have it altogether tonight if anyone's interested.

Ok, here's the files. I started on att manila(which is where tab comes from) and now have it running on non att manila(. This has been tested with ONYX theme which is using the latest htc manila version(1.2.35845.1_1813.6), which is where pics came from. I had up to 48 shortcuts made up, so I don't think it has a limit. It can be an odd number of shortcuts, doesn't have to have 3 on last row.
Its made from the ATT tab that was used for ATT specific links. I removed the ATT links and images. I added the tab icon links for tab bar back into the icons.mode9 file, 61f866ab_manila. Included lua scripts and ATT tab icons (1a5a121d_manila and 2e35e5f2_manila) which you can change to match your theme. The heart of it is the att_tabitems.xml which is where you have to edit your links for the shortcuts. All of files in zip need to be placed into \Windows folder on your phone. I can't make a cab, because you will have to edit the xml file to use this first. You can make shortcuts to open web links, files, folders, or apps. IconPath can point anywhere? or left blank. The softkeys are also set in the xml, so make them what you want. They currently connect to home and programs tabs of tf3d.
Here's some examples of xml, in these I was linking to icons folder I made in root of device named Realize(from the realize icon set).
App Link
Code:
<ATTtabItem
Name="Total Commander"
Path="\Program Files\Total Commander\cecmd.exe"
Arguments=""
IconPath="\Realize\TotalCommander.png"/>
Web Links
Code:
<ATTtabItem
Name="Opera"
Path="\Windows\OperaL.exe"
Arguments="http://m.google.com"
IconPath="\Realize\Opera95.png"/>
<ATTtabItem
Name="Google"
Path=":DEFBROWSER"
Arguments="http://forum.xda-developers.com"
IconPath="\Realize\GoogleNew.png"/>
<ATTtabItem
Name="Ebay"
Path="\Windows\iexplore.exe"
Arguments="http://ebay.com"
IconPath="\Realize\ebay.png"/>
Folder/file links
Code:
<ATTtabItem
Name="Games"
Path="\Windows\fexplore.exe"
Arguments="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games"
IconPath="\Realize\Poker.png"/>
Soft Keys
Code:
<Softkey>
<LSK Path="\Windows\manila.exe" Arguments="--switchtopage Manila://home.page" Text="Home"/>
<RSK Path="\Windows\manila.exe" Arguments="--switchtopage Manila://programs.page" Text="Programs"/>
</Softkey>
You will also have to add this tab page to your 26948339_manila file for tf3d pages. Use the following code, just change page number to fit your xml.
Code:
<Page Order="10" Name="atttab.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Launcher">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\ATTtab.mode9" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="ATTAtt_Off" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="ATTAtt_On" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="ATTAtt_Preview" />
</Page>

Thanks Showaco.....Great work indeed !!
However, I would like to bother you a bit more.....
- I'm not sure which files I need to replace.
- Is your solution specific to ATT ? I use an unlocked version with original 1.93 ROM.
- I don't have any themes installed....I hope that shouldn't be a deterrent though.
Please help !

Kunal

does'nt HD Manila have more program tabs than diamond manila? I am sure i saw this on Vic's latest rom.....

A New Great Work Again
Hi Showaco.
Thanks for the new great work. I am also following your thread on Raphael "BBExtreme 4.0 the REMIX ". I think you nearly solve every details related with manila
Could you please help me to fix "HD People Tab" prb that not works properly at my Diamond, Official ROM 1.35 ?
I do not want to get details here, can I send message to you from PM ?
(I try to find a solution myself by learning , sorry searching manila prg, get into details of m9editor,lua scripts,mode9 file....
But as you can guess, I was not able to find a solution )
Waiting your response,
Many Thanks

Great work Showaco!
One quick question....could you please tell me if it is possible to change the default icon size on the program screen?
I am trying to ditch the square button backgrounds and use larger 128x128 icons.
Any help would be appreciated!

The Cab Version
All the thanks to Showaco for this great application / add-in
For the people like me, how want to have this wonderfull utility, but are afraid to damage their manila (not want to hard-reset their phone).
I want to share my CAB file that is working at my Diamond with Official,Stock Rom Ver 1.35, Manila TF3D 1.0.1630.15, without any themes installed.
This cab is created according to the guide given by Showaco.
This cab will add new Launcher page as page-10, just near to Application Tab. All icons used in that cab are standard icons already install at your phone.
You can try and see if it works for you. Do not worry, UNINSTALL is working perfect, At least works for me.
NOTE: It has also been reported that CAB uninstallation may not work properly in same cases, like using a different language, not English.
But please do not forget that **INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK" **
NOTE: This cab will not work if you are using a different language,not English.
So please before trying my cab, please take a full back-up of your phone or at least take the original copy of the following files from your phone "\Windows" folder if it is exist.
"1a5a121d_manila, 2e35e5f2_manila, 4e061a9c_manila, 5e8e48df_manila, 7b1bc561_manila, 36d20e8f_manila, 61f866ab_manila, 586d37b6_manila, 786c5ee1_manila, 7564a2d6_manila, 26948339_manila, att_tabitems.xml
(At my phone, I only find 3 files; 61f866ab_manila, 7564a2d6_manila, 26948339_manila)
sosimple said:
I tried the cab version, with rom 2.03 greek. It totally screw up my phone.. The new tab was added but language went to english , softkey was gone, telephone provider changed, and many other. I uninstalled but some problems still remain so i need format .

If it does not work you, then you can create your own CAB.
Here is the installation steps;
Upload CAB to phone
Turn off TF3D
Soft Reset to make sure nothing is still in memory
Install CAB to phone
After installation soft-reset will be asked.
Turn on TF3D
Configuration Your Launcher
You can modify ""att_tabitems.xml" at your PC by using Notepad. After the modification is done connect your PDA with Act and copy "att_tabitems.xml" file into your PDA "\Windows" Folder. The new configuration will work. (No need to turn off TF3D or make a soft-reset)
Please report your test results with your phone configuration. If it works without any prb, then we can share this great Showaco add-in as an manila application

Although I am not a expert like Showaco , please find my answers that may help you

I try to explain what I have done. I take all the files from Showaco, except "26948339_manila" file and then modify it according to guide. Actually if you check your phone manila files, you will find only 3 files (26948339_manila,61f866ab_manila,7564a2d6_manila).
Please check all the files supplied by Showaco with your phone. Take the original copies into your PC. And then give a try
Also you can use my CAB file which has Uninstall facility. If it works for you, then no prb. Otherwise, you can uninstall and give a try by yourself

Νo problem man. When i tried i knew there was a risk . I write it for others to know that there is a risk. After uninstalled everything went back to normal except of the icons of manila . All the icons looks like 2 times. I dont know how to describe it .When you move your finger to go from the one icon to other, the next icon (to which you move your finger) shows before you go to it. Does anyone have an idea if i can restore that?
Thanks,
I tried and the manila files of showaco and it works ok ,but i still have this problem..

The key in registry for programm tab shortcuts are here:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
Originally it has keys from 0 to 17 which respond to respective shortcuts. Adding new equal to adding new shortcut. .
For example:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\0
(ab)DispName Bubble Breaker
(ab)IconPath
(dw)IsReadOnly 0
(ab)Path \Windows\Main Menu\Games\Bubble Breaker.lnk
ab - string parametrs
dw - dword
If you add new one, for example
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\20
(ab)DispName
(ab)IconPath
(dw)IsReadOnly 0
(ab)Path
You will be able to see one more empty space for icon on program launcher tab.
If you set the parametr (dw)IsReadOnly to 1 you won't be able to remove the shortcut from program launcher tab (you would nee to change parametr back to 0 in registry first).

Thanks but, i tried it and, i found out that you can ad as many empty tab shortcuts, but when you click to one of them to ad a shortcut for a program, after you have ad 18 shortcuts , you cant ad another one. If you find how to solve this it would be amazing ..

anyone find how to ad more than 18 items?

I get that there are 18 spots to add shortcuts but half of myne are filled with pre-set programs that came with the phone. When I try to delete them they have a little padlock on the corner of them and I can not delete from there.
Anyone know how to delete these? Someplace in the system folders there has to be a way...

That is correct, i have the same problem.
I have 18 quick url's, and i can add a new link. What happens though is the following:
x x x
x x x
etc.
x x y
z
"x" == link to an application (or other if applicable)
"y" == 18th "n"
"z" == button to add lnk
the y is the 18th lnk, the z is the button containing the "+" that makes it possible to add a nineteenth lnk.
The problem is that clicking "z" opens the correct menu, but after selecting a program, the icon remains empty (a standard black/gray icon with rounded edges and _no_plus in in) and clicking the button doesn't trigger an action as far as i've experienced it. There is however created a new icon with a "+" in it, resulting in:
n n n
n n n
etc.
n n m
o p
"n" == link to an application (or other if applicable)
"m" == 18th "n"
"o" == button with no content, clicking has no effect
"p" == button to add lnk
In this situation "m" is the 18th lnk, o is number 19, a lnk with no content, a black/gray button with rounded edges containing no icon. "p" Is the 20th icon, black/gray, rounded edges containing a plus.
Clicking icon "p" results in "p" turning into another "o" and an additional icon which acts as "p" did previously:
n n n
n n n
etc.
n n m
o o p
"n" == link to an application (or other if applicable)
"m" == 18th "n"
"o" == button with no content, clicking has no effect
"p" == button to add lnk
It is 1.20AM in the netherlands now, i've had some booze but i hope i've explained the problem good enough.
edit: i forgot to mention that i am wondering too how to add a 19th lnk, new buttons get added but the don't give any desired response.

changing default keyboard

Hi,
Everytime I soft reset my HD I have the same crappy WM6.1 keyboard as the default one, is there a way to make Fingerboard2 load automatically upon startup?
Thnx

What you need is a program called SIP Change. Do a search for it here in the forums and that does the trick. I have fingerkeyboard as default on my HD

Or for your convienience

thnx! ill give it a shot

Just so you know; I installed SIP Change but it seemed to cause errors with GWES.EXE on every soft reset. Finally I restored back to pre-SIPchange and the gwes problems haven't reoccurred.

Which delay did you enter in SIP Change?
40 or 50 is recommended.

I don't remember what values I used, but I do recall different delays all causing the same error.
I'm thinking now that perhaps it was caused by me not being quick enough entering the PIN-code for my SIM-card and therefor exceeding the set delay? Maybe I'll give it another try and play around a bit more with the delay.

I try "60" is O.K. Or any?

I have the same issue,
I tried 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70 and still not solved

I have the same issue,
I tried 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70 and still not solved
I removed Sipchange and tried the solution based on stilus in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514960
This solution will really change the imput method according to stilus position but the first time I open the message tool the keybord is still the standard one...

this solution works:
install mortscript
create a script-file in \Windows\Start Up\<any name>.mscr
add this line to your script:
Code:
SetInput("name_of_keyboard")
exact name_of_keyboard can be found under
settings -> personal -> input -> input method

Hi,
I have installed Mortscript and created a file TouchPal.mscr with
SetInput ("TouchPal")
but the problem still remains: the 1st time I want to write the keyboard is still the standard one.
In my Start up I have:
AutoShortcut
CWTimeOut
GAlarm Reload
iLock2
PKG
poulook
sdim
SipInst
TPStartup.exe
TouchPal.mscr
Any conflict?

have you uninstalled sipchange.cab?
it seems that sipinst and tpstartup.exe cause the conflict.
set input to any other than touchpal, then run the script manually - what happens?
if you remove sipinst, tpstartup.exe and touchpal.mscr, then reboot, does the touchpal keyoard still work?
if yes copy touchpal.mscr back to start up folder and rename to z_touchpal.mscr to make sure it is loaded as last app.
if no check out which file (sipinst or tpstartup.exe) you really need.

Hi,
Thanks for your help Egoist6.
I tried to remove sipinst, tpstartup.exe and touchpal.mscr then a rebooted and write a message, the keyboard is standard one but if I change to TouPal it will change and work.
I tried to run touchpal.mscr manualy and it changes the keyboard to TouchPal.
I then copied touchpal.mscr back to start up folder and renamed to z_touchpal.mscr, then rebooted but the keyboard is still the standard one
I'm lost ...

could you add
Code:
Message("Script Executed")
to the script (last line) just to check if it is executed properly.
reset.
do you get a popup window during startup?

another idea. add this as the first line. it will wait 5sec before the sip is set
Code:
Sleep(5000)

SIPchange problem
Sipchange changes the keyboard for me at boot, but then crashes instead of closing. So I get the annpying white screen asking to sond information to microsoft. This happens regardless the delay time (tried several values). Any idea?
thanks

Dear egoist6,
your script worked for me, thanks. But I had to increase the delay to 70000 (70 seconds), otherwise no success! So I use:
Code:
Sleep(70000)
SetInput("name_of_keyboard")
Thanks very much for your help!

Adding More Shortcuts to "TF3D-Programs-Tag"

Question:
ok, so we only have about 30 shortcuts on our programs tab right? well i added more, so now i have up to 51 shortcuts on my programs tab. i click on the extra ones added and everything goes well until after selecting a primary program to add, it doesnt add.
this is what i did.. maybe i missed a step!
Open Regedit and i went to the following root
*HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher.
i created new folders 31-51 and inside each folder i created the following strings and dword:
String Values Name: Command
String:
String Values Name: DispName
String:
String Values Name: IconPath
String:
String Values Name: Path
String:
DWORD Value Name: IsReadOnly
Data : 0
Then i went to the following root:
*HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\totalIte mCount.
and i changed the DWORD Data to 51.
i Restarted my phone and i stopped there.
Please advice cause this would be pretty badass if we can keep adding to our programs tab

If you search there is a cab that will set this up correctly, not sure where you've gone wrong, but the cab might fix it!

i searched for said cab and couldnt find it... id love to be able to add more programs, esp ones that arent in the default program group.

As I've started to recover from the distress of the touch screen on my TP2 breaking and am in a slightly better mood! I thought I'd find the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534596 is what you're looking for.

I tried this cab and it doesn't fully work...
I see the 20 new spots in the program tab, but I can't add any programs on those new spots either. I select a program but it is not added

thanks for your time. ok so i took a look at the link and i havent tried the cab due to the fact that i spend a while manually adding the files in my registry but i did read there post and they did say you have to manually add the program through the registry.. so im going to try it and i will get back to you guys!
Example from the link:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLaun cher\30]
"DispName"="Total commander"
"IconPath"=""
"IsReadOnly"=dword:00000000
"Path"="\program files\tcmd\totalcommander.LNK"
so what im going to do that way you guys can try it if you want is the items in green are the items we will need to add manually.

Ok i Just tried it and it was successfull.. after you manually add the program on to the shortcut "Add" on your registry then due a quick restart and programs will show.
It sucks that you need to spend time on it doh..

I found the way to make the cab fully working... It missed a key to be modified.
Here's what I did :
1- Install the cab (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=202860)
2- Modify this key using a registry editor (ex.: task manager) :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/Manilla/ProgramLauncher]
"totalItemCount" (hex value) = "50" (it was 20)
3- soft reset ... that's it
With this simple modification, the + button are now fully working !
