I just hard reset my magician. Since i'm using big storage (my friend did it), only some of the cab files from extended_rom are installed. Now i just found out that my smart dialing, MMS, O2 plus are not included. It was easy to recover those programs since i know the cab files.
However, i cant find the right cab for "Running Programs". Does anyone know which one? Thx.
Sorry for the bad language
Running programs - do you mean in Settings > system > memory > running programs?
If you need a task killer I can send you one or there's many around.

That's the one. Thx . So actually it's not a stand-alone program. Yes i found the running programs.
So, the question is changed now. I need the shortcut to that program. Usually magician has the blue box icon with a picture of someone running. Do you know the shortcut?
Thx.
Just tried to restore that icon from my old backup before it crashed. I thought it was just only a link to some program. But it is not! It is an exe file and after i restored it, click the Running Programs, it says "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename".
Any clues?
My Running Programs app is in the "default_103133" CAB file from my Mini. I run this file after hard reset.
What does that file do? Just open up the running programs control panel?
If you need it back, just type the following into a text file on your PPC
Code:
22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2
and save it as Memory.lnk
Then double click on that file.
Tell me if it works ok.

@vijay
i just wanna return my magician to the default system . that's why i'm so curious to get back that program.
@ampda
i'll try that file. thx for the info.
I can post my CAB file but it will also add the O2 xda defaults that can with the Aussie unit

Thats right....just install that cab file "default_103133.cab" and you will have your Running Programs app back....that is, if you saved your Ext ROM files before doing the Big Storage patch, or someone can attach that cab file here.
Now my problem is (sorry this might be Off-topic) , how can I have back the AUTOCONFIG for different Telcos, (especially Asian) ? Its also gone after the Big Storage patch. I dont know which of the cab files I need to have it back
anyone have idea or is there a forum for this in Magician?
thanks...
THANK YOU!!! finally i can access my running programs.
anyway, ive another question . let's say i want that program to be installed automatically after I hard reset. how can you do that? so i do not have to restore them manually from my sd card. thx.

To get the menu and icon run O2Auto.sa.CAB, then install the telco(s) you want to be in the autoconfiq menu.
@nsriza, thanks!!! As simple as this, and I can have my Autoconfig back already?
I thought I need to manually edit the autoconfig.txt to change the paths of the cab files?
Btw, I have already installed the cab files for all the Telcos that I need....but not the O2Auto.sa.CAB yet. Is it okay if I install that O2Auto then install again the Telco cabs?
Thanks...
So has anyone knew how to setup auto installation for cab files (eg. MMS, SmartDialing etc) after hard reset? thx
another OOT question...what does autoconfig.txt and config.txt do? and how to use it?
thx
Im assuming your asking for auto installation for after a hard reset using big storage. if you search for "AutoRUn" on this forum you should find a link on how to create an autorun folder on your storage card. you need the autorun.exe (Found in the search for the link) and a folder called 2577 created in the root directory of your storage card. then all you need to do is add all the CABs that you want to auto install after a HR to a ZIP (not Rar) archive and call that archive extROM.zip. then put that in your 2577 directory and hardreset and it will install all the files in the zip. if you havent already installed the cabs you put in the zip it will actually start installing them as soon as you insert the SD card. have a search around you will find lots of info about this subject.

@Speedn
thx for the suggestion. it's very helpful.
@rockafeller
hi i used big storage to convert my german rom (o2 xda mini) to wwe 1.12. now i lost some features like MMS,Smart dialling, Home zone control, O2plus. (as it was the case with you). It would be great if you could share here how did you get them back to work? i mean, i want the procedure to do so. i have a backup of my german rom.
one more question. i dont see the Phone pad option in my text input list after the bigstorage patch. how can i get it back. any suggestions would be so great..
thanx in advance

@visvaram
if you backup ur extended_ROM, u should able to find related cab files, such as MMS**.cab, SMARTDIALING**.cab. Just tap those files and it will be installed automatically. FYI, backup ur cab files first b4 installing.
Im not sure about O2plus and zone files. Anyone care to help?
Hello All,
Is there a way to strip an installed application from a PPC into an installable .CAB file, if one has lost the installation files/DVD, but still have the application installed on the hand-held.
Thanks in Advance.
Not really.
You can always copy the files out (if you can find them all - some may be in windows folder or places other then the main app folder) but you still would need to know every registry key the app requires.
If you use sktools it tells you all the files installed and registry entries. You could then extract all the files as levenum said and make a cab including the registry entries.
Hi lev
ahh..hhaa !

My experience with SKTools makes me cringe...my ATRE would not stop rebooting until I remove the SD card(where SK Tool was installed and remove it completely.
What software do I need to make a .cab file ?
I will still make all efforts to attempt this anyways....
Ive had no problem with sktools - i always install to main memory. If you manually make your cab then use cabiwiz - or use a commercial app like wince cab manager. Which program are you trying to put together?
cabiwiz enclosed inc example app and tutorials
Funny thing - I was replying to another thread with similar question stating that there would be a problem finding out all the REG keys.
Then jackleung posted about a tool called "ssnap" that supposedly can take an image of the system.
Comparing an image from before and after installation should show all the changes a cab makes.
Since I am not personally familiar with the tool I can't say any more about it.
As for cab creation - while I use cabwiz my self, it is a command line tool and you need to know ho w to write inf files for it.
For a beginner an app like WinCE cab manager will be more comfortable.
It is a shareware, so it will stop working after a while unless you pay but it is very good.
P.S.

Hi Guys
Is there anybody who can guide me if it is possible to replace the Ext_Rom of a WM6 with WM5 or not?!!!
Actually I had a problem with my Ext_Rom...(There's a CLEARVUE...a default program for Reading PDF files which I hate it,but I can't prevent it of being installed while costumization of WM5 ) So I wondered If I can change My Ext_Rom with the one whcih has not Clearvue inside?
If yes,then how???
Thanks
Easy.
Go to the WiKi and search for "unlocking extended ROM of Prophet".
The extended ROM is just a collection of cabs. On the Prophet (at least in WM 5 not sure if they changed it in WM 6) you can open it with a simple registry change and then manually delete or add cabs. (note that cabs must be signed to automatically install after hard reset)
I looked over the backup of my Ext_ROM (from official i-mate ROM) but could not determine which cab installs ClearView just by their names.
You could always try them manually one by one or use CECabManager (google) to see whats inside.

Hi Levenum
It's really great to have someone to help you,finally.Thanks a lot,man .Actually I know how to un-hide the Ext_Rom,but the problem is that I can't find the cab that is installing this damn Clearvue program
I'm looking for someone who guide me which Cab is responsible for that(Gives me the name of the cab.file)...or....Any hero who guide me is it possible for me to change my current Ext_Rom with the another one that is not included that damn CLEARVUE???!!!
Thank you again for helping
Heloooooooooooooo
Isn't there anybody who direct me (and many others who have got the similar problem) by just saying how we can get rid of CLEARVUE in the Ext_Rom or at least replacing it with ACROBAR READER?
I already know how to un-hide AND Unlock the extended rom...
I need only the name of the cab file (which installs CLEARVUE),...nothing more...
It's NOT installed in the ExtROM, it's installed in the "base"ROM.

Hi Black Rose
I don't care where this damn software is,and I'm not gonna debate you over it...You just tell me what s the name of the cab.file...And if you are so sure about the location,so tell me also the place of it(Base or Ext-Rom?? )
Thanks anyway
I think clearvue is pre-installed in the base ROM, so there is no cab file to delete.
For me, I just ignore that clearvue or adobe LE is there. I just went ahead and installed Adobe 2.0 and everytime I tap a pdf file, adobe 2.0 opens.
If that doesn't work for you, you can use resco explorer to assign which default prog to open any file... similar to "open with" in XP or Vista.

Hi Putra
Are you sure it's not in the Ext_Rom?Because after a hard reset,whenever I prevent the Ext_Rom of customizing my device (Stop customization),I don't have the CLEARVUE installed on my mobile.
This is why I think it must be somewhere in Ext_Rom.Even some excerpts told me that I have to replace my Ext-Rom with the one which doesn't have CLEARVUE...But he didn't tell me exactly how I can find such a extended Rom and how I can do the replacement...I also needed to know if the replacement may damage the Original Rom of my device or not?
Thanks for helping me, anyway and I would be more appreciated if you help me a little more in that.
Ok, in that case, then it should be in your extrom. However, I also do not know which is the cab file. One way is to prevent the extrom customization, and then manually install each cab from the extrom....
Why don't you just leave clearvue in your device, and simply install adobe 2.0? I don't think clearvue takes that much space...
you can edit the ext_ rom by editing the folder content in WM6
I recomend to use winimage to edit extrom, it will lock the ext rom

Thanks a lot for helping me to solve this problem,but wou,d you pease elaborate a little bit more...After all,I'm a newbie!!!!!
Just tell me what's this WINIMAGE and also tell me if I would be able to find the cab file of CLEARVUE within my Ext_Rom to erase it or not?!?!
Thanks again
winimage to use with extension.nb, as anewbie let forget how to use this one. if you need to kow, use search you;ll find a lot about how to use this one.
just look in the folder and remove it, or just edit the file Config.txt and remove the cab you don;t wanna install, it is so easy and don't need any clarification.
tell me what ROM do you use

OFF TOPIC: Hi Chopin, can you explain how I can edit the contents of the extrom on WM6?
edit the files. delete any cab you want and instert anycab you want in the folder, but if you add a cab file then edit the file config.txt and and enter the cab file in it

Oops, I meant how do I unlock and unhide the extrom in WM6. What prog do I use?
The last time I tried using WM5 tools on PdaViet 01, it didn't work. I have not tried again. I'm on Gullum v6, btw.
if this is what you want here is the files for unlock, and please ask me more if this was not what u needed
Ok, thanx. I'll try them...
Stop off-topics...let's talk about main topic
Hi dear friends
I noticed that we have been a little been off-topic,so I wanted to recall that we are here to help each other to find a way for "HOW WE CAN DELETE ANY CAB(In my case...CLEARVUE's cab file)INSIDE THE EXT_ROM OR CHANGE IT WITH ANOTHER CAB(Again in my case changing default CLEARVUE with ADOBE ACROBAT)?????
My friends
I even checked the Config.text file within my Ext_Rom,but unfortunately even there was no name and trace of CLEARVUE?!?!!??But I' sure it must be there...since when I stop my device of being costumized after a hard reset,I never see this CLEARVUE in my programs...So that means it must be somewhere in Ext-Rom..Somebody...Some hero....some know-all tell me where?????And under what name?!?!??!??!??!?!?
please, we already answer this question, to help you more, what ROM do you use?
I have GoogleMaps 3.0.0.12 pre-installed.
(How) Can I upgrade to GoogleMaps 3.3?
Topaz (Diamond2) / WM 6. unlocked
yes, you definitely can.
Just find the cab and it will install over your current version.
i have checked this version, but i think this link might be a newer version...
thanks to vagrik and his Tiger ROM for this...
you can!
and i recommend, if you do install the newer version, install it on your storage card - so the cache (which is sometimes signifikant), will also go to your SD Card.
regards
The site where u can download version 3.3 from
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Google-Maps-3-3-Released-for-WM-and-Symbian-Phones-128703.shtml
I installed Google Maps v3.3 on my HTC Pure and it never saw my GPS. This was the direct download from Google. It said it did not support my phone. I reverted back to the older version from my Tilt, and that works fine.
Thats because the GoogleMaps 3.3 cab file is programmed bad. It appears to be missing a "\" from all of the reg entry paths and file links. The cab actually installs 2 of the same file. 1 has a correct path... the other is screwed up.
Here is the 3.3 files. If you already have Google Maps installed, then just over write older files with these updated ones.
GoogleMaps doesn't hardly use any reg keys on install. Cooking in GoogleMaps, I've never had to change the reg entries. So you'll be fine just over writing the files.
Thanks for your contribution, I overwrote the zip files but did not notice any difference. Even my version number stays the same: 3.2

Hi there
Can I check that the recommended way to move to v3.3 from the stock version that comes from HTC with the phone is to download the attached CAB file and just run that? Should the install be to the Device or the SD Card? Presumably to overwrite it should be to the same place that the stock version is currently installed...which I assume is the Device? But if one want to take advantage of installing to the SD card so that the cache also resides there (suggestion from earlier poster) who would one uninstall the stock offering that came with the phone?
Apologies for all the questions. I am a newbie and just getting into this.
Cheers

Does anybody has Resco Explorer in ext package?
Tried to do it but i miss resco registry and resco ftp.
Thanks!!
What exactly do you want to get? I have it (selfmade).... But it's free for sure....
One more thing - I use OEM regular structure - not EXT (For OsBuilder). It's a normal package - with rgu and dsm.... Registry is a separate cab - you should add it to the package. FTP is a part of explorer - just added features.

Well, in Resco site there is one cab for all the subprograms that are included in the resco 2010 8.10 version.
It is this cab I tried to convert to ext package.Everyrhing works except registry function.
Thanks anyway.
Attached is the app.reg (renamed to app.txt because of forums limitations) file that I use for Resco Explorer with FTP and Registry plugins added.
I didn't clean it up so it also contains the keys and values for the options and settings that I prefer having.
For future reference, I had the same issue as you at first then I used a tool called Kheb to monitor the registry changes that happen when I install cabs and customize everything. Kheb can also make diffs between different registry snapshots and even generate OEM packages based on such diffs.
I did apply your REG file, but Resco Registry not work yet, the problem is a SETUP.DLL in to the Resco Explorer CAB, it contains a secret instructions and I believe that is impossible to open it, anyway I saw some cooks with Resco Explorer and Registry in their ROMs, it's obvious that they know the secret.
I also want to know.....pleaseeeee

Make the package with cab to package software (there is in all kitchens) and then replace the reg and app.dat files with the ones attached and cook it.Works for me.
The idea goes to MusicMonk but his attached file doesnt work for me.
Just use Kheb like MusikMonk suggested; it will capture all of the reg keys that are installed by the setup.dll. You can also look in the setup.dll with notepad and probably see the keys that are installed.
If you're trying to backup you registration info, it's stored in a file in \windows called wmtrigger.dat. All of Resco's registration codes are stored in that file, so if you have several of their apps, that's all you need.

I made a CAB file from the original Resco Explorer CAB, I deleted all files except SETUP.DLL and later run it and VOILA!!! the Resco Registry works !!!!!
Unfortunately I don't need it, I need the secret instructions in SETUP.DLL, I did open it using UltraEdit but I can't find nothing.
try this it should work, but your still gonna need the code as this is not cracked
Thank you, mate, but I found the secret reg keys in the setup.dll file. I used CeRegEditor to create a registry image, later install the cab with setup.dll and I created a image again, and finally I compared the first and second image to detect the differences.
I made a new reg and all works now
Thank you very much mates
fully working resco explorer package
Fixed some shortcuts added rtoday plugin, resco update, task manager that was missing and ftp in previous packages and is attached below.
Of course it needs the usual registration process.

Have you managed to have in built registration code in it so that you dont have to feed the registration key after the installation?

The registration code is in the wmtrigger.dat file in windows folder which is created after registration.
So you have to copy this folder after registration and put it in your kitchen.

All Resco products write registration to one file It's well known for ages and it's no need to discover anything. So if you decide to use several resco products - you should install and register them all and then save the summary wmtrigger.dat - it will be one for all installed Resco-s..... And for sure - system User name should be the same for all your roms - it's also fixed in that file...
One more tip: if you occasionally decide to use cracked resco products - you will get a conflict if you use for example one legal and one cracked program simultaneously in one rom. So better use all registered.

You can use sktracker in your phone.
This program traces the changes in registry and files so if you create a snapshot with the program and then install or register applications or change the options and user settings in applications (you better do it program by program) you can easily find the changes and apply them each time you change your rom.
I apply all mods with sashimi but there are other choices also.

I used to find the registry part of any cab or software by saving the registry and comparing the one before and after with the help of registry workshop on my PC, but did not know that there exists a utility with which wmtrakker.dat"" type of new file creation can also be found out.
Thanks a lot bro!!!
It's very good
