[SOLVED!] Any Language of WM5 on any Athena!

Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that I have managed to translate 99% of all the WM5 interface to English or almost any language. The secret has been found long time ago by our friend Asukal: http://asukal.net/blog/
Some things like the battery panel, the soft keys on the Communication Manager are missing and others are not translated, maybe somebody can tell us how can we complete this work on the Athena.
Instructions:
1) Install ENG_mui.cab or any other desired language. Don't install ENG_Notifi_COM_BT or any other since they will change some settings.
2) Now you will notice that the Start Menu doesn't exist anymore! So go with the help of your keyboard to the File Explorer, go to /Windows and look for the folder on the Old Language that contains the Start Menu Folder, now rename it to: Start Menu. Then inside rename the folder that contains the Links to your programs to Programs and Create or Rename a Folder called Settings. All of them should be inside /Windows/Start Menu
The original work was made by our friend Asukal. Thank you very much for your hard work! And you can view the original post for the HTC Universal and the Languages Pack at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=267541&page=2
you can download all the CAB's that Asukal made with a lot of different languages (some of them are not finisihed) at: http://buzzdev.net/components/com_s...les/UI_LNG_SWT_beta_20060629193323_Asukal.rar
Feel free to ask me any question, I will try to do my best!
I will try to post some screen shots later...

Camera stopped working
The tweak works nice but camera application could not start. Will check further later. Meanwhile I have restored backup

I solved this by replacing /Windows/Camera.exe with one of the Camera.exe.* which size is 404 KBytes. Sorry but I can't remember the exact name.

where did you get the camera files from?

I got them from my /Windows directory they have been renamed by Asukal's translator. They have the extension: *.0404.mui
So the original file of Camera.exe (the one in Chinnese) has been renamed to Camera.exe.0404.mui, so once Asukal's CAB has been installed, rename Camera.exed to Camera.exe.old and rename Camera.exe.0404.mui to Camera.exe
In fact once you rename the working Camera.exe you will find a different Icon, like more "fashion". Hahaha!

Camera working now
I have the camera working now
I followed the instructions above, but before the procedure I created a folder on the storage card and copied all the file in the windows folder named camera for preservation
NB: I INSTALLED THE TWO CABS TO THE STORAGE CARD
ALL COPYING AND RE-NAMING WAS DONE WITH TOTAL COMMANDER
1. Ran the Language switcher cab and do a soft re-set.
2. May not be needed, but I started the switcher application and changed the language to English. Nothing changed of course
3. Installed the English mui and clicked ok for reset.
4. Copied all the camera files (4 of them, counting in Camera.exe.0413) to the Windows folder of device
5. Copied all content of the Windows sub-folders Start Menu and Programs from the old language Dutch in my case, to the new English folders.
6. Did same as in 5. for all the folders I wanted to re-name which would not take the new name
7.Camera works as normal, but I did not see the Microdrive to select in the initial settings. I believe that can be sorted with reg-edit or something else, but that is not important for me at the moment. Have not tested the front camera etc. I need to go and have a meal.
Am continueing to re-name the folders and checking the functions as I go along. Happy tweaking to all of you! Many thanks to Bogusiano and Wu.
Cheers

Very good! I am happy for you! I think this the closest we can get until a WWE ROM for the Dopod U1000 is released, for me at least, this is enough to enjoy my device meanwhile!

How To? - Package themes/clocks, compiling themes into .cab quick install files

I have access the to the files through WINRAR and can change the pics with Minila Editor. But How does one package them for install through a .cab file?
i hav downloaded packages_creator5.exe and also have the msceint.exe file in the same folder as i installed the ervius program, but how on earth does one put it together to work?
Please teach me?

Well there are a few ways to create .cab files but one quick method would be to use a program called QuickCab... Very easy to use it walks you though the process, makes life a whole lot easier if you are new to it.

looks promising, thanks, BUT, only that it says "cannot find Cab file, here it is the output from CabWiz:
Windows CE CAB Wizard
Error: Section [DefultInstall] key "CESetupDLL" - file "setup.xml is not a DLL so cannot be used as the special Setup.DLL"
solution? what did i do wrong?

went through installation it but no difference is made, it did not show the 'restart device' either. what is the 'setup.dll file for, where do i find such a file or what are the settings ?

hmm...
So you are trying to package some manila files to a cab file, so that you can install it on the phone.. right?
start QuickCab
Enter Application Name and Author(you)...
Don't check 'use custom setup.dll
Next->
Chose witch files to have in the cab ( Add-> ) to windows dir
Next->
No registry edit!
Create...
This works fine for me...
and about the 'restart device'... I don't know how to set it... on some cabs it says it ond on some it dont..

I've done that but it still does not work, I think that it may be the files i selected, should one only place in the files as showed in manilla?
no extra files to be added?

ok... where does it go wrong? on your computer or on the phone?
because you first say that Cabwiz is giving you an error and then you say that you cant install on the phone?
If it doesn't say that you have to restart our phone... just restart it yourself
...and you have .Net Framework 2.0? (on your computer)

.Net 3.5
I've uninstalled all the clocks and have restarted, going to try again

I've uploaded the file, does it work?
restarted device and reinstalled. still not working

aha .. ok.. now I see your problem...
You can't extract the files directly from a cab file with ex. winrar....
They will end up like this ... '4E6705~1.002'
use package-creator-v2.7 if you want to extract the files from a cab...
you can find it here...

Unhide system files

How can I unhide system files in HD2?

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.
Thanks.

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
johncmolyneux - special thanks to u for the hidden games trick, ? are there any other hidden games in the hd2 winmo 6.5 professional, or where i may find out?

Screen rotation (2010/01/08)

Hello to ALL
On the various forums for the HD2 exists much proposals/solutions to change the orientation of the screen.
I did not find ANY Simple solution to do it, much cab are totaly disproportionate for this simple function !!!!!!
I am in favour of the simple solutions: to pass in landscape only when necessary.
Who is able to provide me a SIMPLE procedure to make available, in the icon "Button", the “TALK/SEND” button ?????
I use HD2TWEAK and I could thus assign to a long support the rotation of the screen.
Many many thanks for your help
Paterr

I've coded a simple app to do what you've asked.
Unzip the attachment on your PC and copy the 2 files to the windows folder on your phone. Then, when you long-hold on the call button it will toggle the screen rotation between portrait and landscape.
Hope this helps
Edit:
I've updated this application a couple of times, and it now comes with a GUI so you can select what orientation you want to toggle with.
It's available from the following thread...

Thank you for CERegEditor program.
But I cannot “change” some registers: (HKLM/System/GWE/Touch/Filter/Minimumtaptime).

An idea?????
Sorry but I have a new question:
The “Contacts” icon list the Contacts AND the SIM content;
Do you know a solution (register) to list ONLY the Contacts in order to preserve the SIM content????

I copied them onto my card storage, located PLToggle.exe using file explorer, pressed it and it installed onto my phone and then restarted.
I've heard of folk talking about the windows folder before, what are you referring to when you say windows folder?

Okay - running the exe doesn't install it. Copying it to the windows folder is all you need. (It's not like installing a cab file).
In file explorer go to Menu and select "Show all files". Then, in the root folder of your device, you will have a windows folder. You need to copy PLToggle and long_send into that folder.

I tried and it did very good to rotate my garmin mobile XT.
I will pass this link to my friends.
Thank You, man!

That is a more up-to-date version. I'd actually forgotten about this thread, so I'll delete the original cab and just link the new version.

It happens when you change default language of Manila.
I've changed my phone's default Russian to English and had the same issue with sms sound.
There are files for English that I make for English.
View attachment smsfix_en.zip
If you have other current phone's language you may have to rename '0409' part in
filenames like 'newtextmsg.0409.html' to your locale code.

alharby, I'll try to explain it as simple as possible.
There are files in the attachment smsfix
deliveryreportsms_delivered.0409.html
deliveryreportsms_expired.0409.html
deliveryreportsms_failed.0409.html
newtextmsg.0409.html
newtextmsg_unread.0409.html
smssendfailed.0409.html
textmsgclass0.0409.html
You shoud rename them to match you locale id. I am not sure what it should be, try one of Arabic listed by Microsoft or look up in your \Windows\ folder for files with similar "double extentsion" - use the code like that.
For example, if your locale is Arabic - Saudi Arabia 0401, rename my files like the following:
deliveryreportsms_delivered.0401.html
deliveryreportsms_expired.0401.html
deliveryreportsms_failed.0401.html
newtextmsg.0401.html
newtextmsg_unread.0401.html
smssendfailed.0401.html
textmsgclass0.0401.html
and copy them to the \Windows\ folder, then soft-reset the phone.

My friend ericsonicsson
Thank you, I rename all the files as you written above. I am in Saudi Arabia. But when I try to trnsfer them to the phone I cannot find the windows folder. I tried but I fail.
I am sorry for interrupting you.

It's not a big problem. Use Resco Explorer or Total Commander - both shows hidden files and directories.

Many thanks myfriend ericsonicsson. I solved it by your helping.
My friend if you have the same phone Do you have a GPS programme like iGo or Garmin works with this phone. If you have can you send me the link.

Same problem using Resco I was unable to modify this files......

What's the error message?

I opened Resco file explorer on the device and inside the windows folder the relevant files are missing, only if i search them i can see them, tried to change the name and after soft reset i see it wasn`t saved

Menu-Options-General-tab(Browser)
Remove all ticks and press "Done".

ok, now i see that i have the old file and the new ones, when i trying to delete the old ones i get the error: "cannot delete ,in rom memory"
