I cant find my "Running Programs"

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

@ampda

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
kk

@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?

Hey mate.. I was going nuts having this same problem until I found this setting in Folder Options: 'Hide protected operating system files'
Make sure this is turned off and you should be able to view it fine.

Hi, I am searching everywhere for an answer to this problem, I have changed everything in tools/folder options to show protected files but still cannot access the windows folder on a Trinity. (i know this is a Blackstone section but this is where I found the existing thread)
I am using XP, this is really baking my noodle, help please?

if you are doing it via the active syncsiupplied with the phone be patient.
when i click to open the folder it takes a while before it opens up.
could give that a go as i thought it didn't work either.

Thanks I found how to do it, my copy of Windows was missing a required dll, am able to see all files now and problem solved.
I checked all the correct settings in folder options but they kept reverting to hidden, so if this is happening to you on XP do this;
RUN;
CMD;
regsvr32 /ishell.dll

Help me Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I installed a app caled omapclocks. I installed i think. It never worked. So I tryed to delete it. Now everytime my phone goes into standby i get a notification error. I cant find any of it's files on my phone. Please help me fix this. Im new to this phone and i'm really having a hard time. All I was trying to to was overclock this thing and it seems like its more trouble then its worth. I just want to get this off my phone.

Im also getting this error: cannot execute \windows\startup\omapclock.ink

i dont think you installed it.... if your getting that message that means you only have the omapclock startup link on your phone. Everytime you turn on your phone windows will try to run the link in the windows startup folder but theres no actual .exe file linked to the file so it can't run it. Understand?
i use omapclock on my phone too. in my windows startup folder i have omapclock.ink and its link with omapclock.exe which i put in \windows
and i also have omapclockPlus in the start menu folder so i can control the speed of the processor.
hope that helps

I installed the latest verson. And it would not let me register it. So i deleted it. It never installed into my program files or startup file. Is their in easy way to install this? How do i do it now since its still some where on my phone? Can i just drag the OmapClockPlus_20060803_004.zip into my phone? Do i need to unzip it before i send it to my phone? Do i need to change any of the file names after i run the exe. file. Sorry I must sound really dumb asking all this

Help for total, 100% clueless beginner

Sorry for new thread, tried searching for things like a Beginner's Guide but no luck...
The HD2 is my first foray into WM phones and I just need a bit of help understanding how to install all the programs and tweaks you clever folks on here cook up. For starters I want to disable the clock flip animation when you switch to the Home screen:
1. You can disable this extra animation so it only flips when it needs to flips. Download the modified manila file at the end of this post.
Done
2. Disable HTC Sense in Today settings.
Done
3. Backup original Windows file (you are going to overwrite) to your SD card.
OK, this is where I fall down
4. Extract downloaded file to Windows directory on your device (overwriting the original).
Not sure here either, but I think this will be obvious once I connect to my PC...?
5. Enable HTC Sense again in today settings.
I'll be OK here
Also, in the Hints & Tips thread, it talks about installing a program to edit the registry for a lot of the tweaks. Would something like Total Commander (http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm) be OK for that?

search for cab file, on leo themes and app, 1sr row, the one with touch x . copy it to your phone/storage card , launch it and softreset. no need for backup

Download the cab-file called "Touch_X_Homescreen_Flip_clock_OFF.cab" from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584415
Notice that this is a cab-file and not a rar/zip(/whatever)-file.
Cab-files are so to say "setup-files" for windows mobile.
That said, after you've downloaded the file to your computer, simply copy/move it to your mobile. Now from your mobile, run this file, and it will install as a program.
This means that you can uninstall it by going to settings->programs....

My first tip would be too make sure you install/store everything on the storage card and not the device. this is one mistake I made and you'll run out of space quickly.
Secondly, decide now if you're going to install the lastest ROM. best to do it now before you get into setting up and tweaking otherwise you'll be in my situation again where you'll have to clear everything and start from scratch.
And yes, it's easiest to download CABs to your PC, transfer them over USB to the storage card, then install from there.

how to install software/ apps

Hi there,
I have an htc hd2 and downloaded SRS wowhd and flashlite3 for my phone. I have no idea how to install them as they came in win rar format and when I open the package they have names like SRSPANEL.002. I have no idea where to put them. Could anyone give me some really simple instructions? Secondly, if there are any other must have pieces of freeware or apps id love to know.
thanks,
Tom

Hi,
The file you downloaded was most likely a .CAB. You simply copy this file to your device/storage card and run it on your HD2, it'll install automatically. .CAB's are just associated with WinRAR by default on a Win PC.
After installing SRSWOW, make sure you soft reset your device before doing anything else btw! You'll then see in under All Settings > System
Check the HD2 apps forum here for hundreds more.

dont un-rar it, copy it to your device and run it.
