so i see that there is a blue angel rom with "true" crossbow sound theme.. im wondering if neone has these files id like to use them on the wizard. dont care so much bout the icons but want the sounds!
Can't remember which thread this was posted in, but here it is again.
thats only the ringtone......im looking for the system sounds and such
The ringtone file is the only thing I've seen posted in the forums.
After the mess with Palm over posting the PhotoDialer .cab and with Apple over the iPhone mock-up screen, if there ever WAS a posted file with the other system sounds it's probably had to be removed now too. But, if it WAS ever posted, I never did see it -- and I scour these forums every day.
This is the soundpack I have - I have it and have no idea where/when I got it. It has the same name as the zip posted here and has the same file plus a whole lot more. I think it's standard with the AKU 3.2.
-Mc
thank you thank you
Anyone have any ideas on using the new sounds. I can't replace the files in \Windows, and cannot alter there attributes. I'm assuming you must build a ROM to use them.
I have a sounds folder in "My Documents" on my PPC and there is already a sounds folder in Application Data. Put them there and the system will recognize them. No need to replace the other ones...
-Mc
None of those work. The system still uses the files in \windows.
Try using Total commander to overwrite the files.
i used windows exploere and overwrote off the pc
You cannot just change the sounds i'm afraid, that's not worked since back in WM2002, you have to change the registry entries related to the sounds...
I reccomend a nice little commercial app (no links) called "Soundz Cool". It's a Windows based application that runs on your PC, which connects to any WM powered PDA, and pulls the sound settings from the registry. you can then edit them, and copy them back to your PDA with your own custom sound effects. Soundz Cool will even remove unused files it's copied across before to kepp your PDA clean.
Hope this helps you all, coz it took me ages to find such an application...
Put simply, i used OEMizer 1.3.9 to create a package out of SU2U v1.2.1 and, like many CABs, it didn't recognize the directories.
So, i added the files manually and edited them to point toward their correct directories. I did this, at least, 6 times.
The problem here is that OEMizer "insists" that i'm duplicating files. Well, i am but they're clearly shown to be in different directories. It's obvious that OEMizer doesn't know how to differentiate directories with duplicate name files (even when told).
Does anyone know how to work around this problem? I know Naigaman did something to get around the problem but trying to contact one of these guys is like trying to get a private meeting with the president so i can't ask him directly.
Anyone? Help.
What files do you have duplicated? I assume the clock.
Doesn't OEMizer put all the files in the same directory for an OEM package?
If so, then there can't be 2 files with the same name in the same directory.
If the files are identical, then delete one and use initflashfiles.txt to copy it to the two destinations.
If they are different files, but have the same name, then rename one, and use initflashfiles.txt to rename (to the original name) at the same time it gets copied.

That can't be right because Naigaman did it with Slide2Unlock v1.18 on one of the kitchens and there are gfx directories in his and something had to make those directories. Besides, why would there be an "edit" to edit the file's directory markers if it put all the files in the same place. That would be like putting a "do nothing" button there just for looks.
Yes (replying to the message above this one), i think they're the clock files but i do know they go in different directories and the CAB file had them classed in a different directory. I also noticed that "packages creator 5.4" classifies them as "duplicates". However, unless people code without ever using a similar file in a sub directory (which this is the case) then i would classify this as a flaw in the program....unless there's some hidden checkbox i've missed that tells the program not to see these files as dupes.
However, i believe this to be some sort of flaw in the software where reading the cab's %insertdirectorhere% factor and not being able to translate it. I don't know why OEMizer can't do it unless the code was based on the same program and it's just an inherent flaw.

So why do you need to use OEMizer now that you're doing manual editing, just finish the package. OEMizer doesn't do any special magic that's needed to make your package work in a kitchen.

When your ROM boots is when the files are copied from the windows folder to the paths in intflashfiles.txt. All the files of your ROM originate in the Windows folder after the device boots! In your example, iLock2.lnk is copied from the windows folder to two different locations. THAT file (iLock2.lnk) is probably contained in the cab twice thus you get a dupe error WHEN OEMizer TRIES TO COPY THE SAME FILE TO THE OEM PACKAGE TWICE. When I asked "Doesn't OEMizer put all the files in the same directory for an OEM package?" it was rhetorical.... Watch my lips...
"an OEM package has ALL FILES IN THE SAME FOLDER!!!"
Also, all the files in a cooked ROM are in the same folder, the Windows folder...thus, THERE CAN BE NO DUPE FILENAMES, not only in the OEM package, but also in THE ENTIRE ROM.
However, i believe this to be some sort of flaw in the software where reading the cab's %insertdirectorhere% factor and not being able to translate it. I don't know why OEMizer can't do it unless the code was based on the same program and it's just an inherent flaw.

OEMizer is a tool TO HELP YOU BUILD AN OEM PACKAGE (most people do it by hand)! Its not perfect and most of the time you have to edit a line or two in the intiflashfiles.txt and/or rename files (most people don't bother removing the 'generated by' remarks, but that doesn't mean the file hasn't been edited) You have to know how an OEM package works. I don't think you do, because you didn't even try my solution, anyone who knows how and OEM package is put together would look at it and say "Ah yes I see". What you need to do is create a few packages manually to increase your understanding of how to put together a package. The software isn't helping in this regard.
When you come asking for help and then reject a workable solution because you're 'so dang smart', well, it just sort of irks me.
Why do I even bother trying to help...
BTW did you bother reading the OEMizer help file...Here are a few entries that indicate that the files need to be manually edited:
When a cab file is chosen to be imported, OEMizer will look for the _setup.xml. If found it will do it's best to read the list of files and installation folders. It will then convert the installation paths to work from the \Windows directory in both the initflashfiles.txt and RGU files, making it more ROM friendly. You will still have to manually look over the file list and "Additional Registry Entries" generated. It's possible that paths can still be simplified to make it run from a single folder, but it really takes a human to make those kinds of decisions.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and
This means your OEM contains a filename which is already used by another OEM you've included in your build. You need to rename that file if possible, and change any references to it in initflashfiles.txt or the RGU file to match the new name.
If the file is _supposed_ to overwrite the one included from another OEM you still need to rename it and use initflashfiles to copy over the original.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So...you can keep fighting the software to get it to work the way you think it should, or you can edit a few lines, rename a file or two, and be done with it.

It's strange, i was pointing out a problem in the program, trying to better it a little for future users. You, on the other hand, simply chose to attack me for no other reason than trying to act superior. I was hoping someone might know a way "around" the problem (you know, the reason this place is here for) and you didn't know the answer so you chose to show your hide.
There's obviously no way around the duplicated files, such as a sub-directory implementation and that's really what you could have said to begin with. The thing is, the code i had seen had been both hand-coded AND OEMizer was used so i was confused because i thought someone knew a way around the problem. It was something to have easily been confused by. He also renamed the files but must have done some coding to make SU2U recognize the alternate filenames, also something that might have confused the situation.
While i was initially wrong, there were reasons but you chose to ram it down my throat when i simply made a mistake in recognizing Naigman's changes vs using the original files. I've been working at a terminal for close to 12 hours so i'm entitled to miss a few things.
While i'm sure, because you're a senior member, i'll probably be banned. Still, you were just as wrong in the way you handled it as i was and we both know it.
However if you don't know the answer, simply say so.

YES THERE IS.. I told you what to do. I thought you were trying to make an OEM package. The bottom line is making the OEM package work, not whether OEMizer works. OEMizer is a free tool that has documented in the HELP file certain situations where it won't work properly. If you'd have read the HELP file, maybe you wouldn't have had to start a new thread.

We can continue this, in private. I've got better manner than to turn this into a flame war and that's exactly what you're building it into.
You have absolutely no manners, but a huge ego.
here's your package. it was a piece of cake.
I used OEMizer, but there were dupes and other problems, so as a workaround I had to rename some files and edit initflashfiles.txt just like I said in post no. 3

Good one, but like i said..figured it out.
Plus, for the record (once again), these people don't know about the private argument we had and it doesn't take a genius to figure out that when someone smears you (in private) and then does something like this (in public) that basically they're trying to smooth over the rep to the general populous. I told you, in the private letter, i figured it out so there was no reason for you to post this other than to make yourself look good to the readers.
For the record, here's just one quote from that novel you sent me, showing how absolutely thickheaded you are:
Basically, i can't prove it yet but i think you're completely wrong about that theory that everything goes into the \Windows directory (first) and then branches out.

What you forgot (on purpose it seems) is that i mentioned something about the files hitting the "root" directory then things get built on a first rom install. Man, you're really desperate to get the last word in, even if it means only quoting "part" of what someone says to try and make them look bad.
But since you decided to steal something from our private email i think i'll do the same. You're big on telling people what they should and shouldn't be doing, you even go as far as to tell people where they should be putting their posts because "you" don't think they belong there, i found that one in a 30 second Google. And i'll go as far as to mention that, during our private email, i asked you to list your credentials that makes you so qualified to give the last word on these subjects and you were glad to insult me but never gave an answer.
I think these people already "know" what they expect from YOU, you talk a big game but other than changing a few registry entries around and using someone else's compiler, basically you're no more experienced than the rest of us here...even if you act like it. If you think editing text makes you some end-all be-all expert, man you're seriously deranged.
It seems that "senior member", in your case, is nothing more than a title.

Wrong again.
You don't need me to try and make you look bad, you're doing fine on your own.

And yet, not once have i been wrong about you. You keep acting like you want this to be over but you just HAVE to get in the last word with things...because that's the kind of jerk you are,
You can call the admin, you can try and make me look bad by trying to play the readers, but anyone with any common sense knows that if you REALLY wanted to stop....you would have stopped replying to my messages.
You've already threatened me, privately..."i'll call the admin if you don't stop PMing me"...yet you're the one that keeps aging it on.
In every way, you make me right...simply because you're that sort of person who just has to get the last jab in. They only way you will make "you" right is to stop posting on this, that's the ONLY thing that will make you look like you're not looking for a fight.
I know it and everyone reading does.
Thanks guys
whewf! After reading through your arguments in 20 posts I finally got what I was looking for. Can you guys please keep it just a little professional and discuss your problems private?
I downloaded the attached file, looked at initflashfiles.txt, examined it and figured out what I need to do for a different cab.
And by the way I personally would be very very happy if someone even considers replying to my posts let alone fixing my problems. But I rather using search tool because 99% of the time someone already asked that question and it has been answered. So please keep it short and easy to understand for everyone.
Thank you,
Will be taking delivery of my HD2 today.What do I need?
File Explorer? Total Explorer? Which version? According to the website none support the snapdragon processor(unless it has a different name)
What about to change visual aspects?
Is it just a case of finding a particular .cab file, loading it onto the SD card and installing?
And how does it work? If I install (for eg) transparent slider.cab ,then decide I dont want transparent just reduced transparency, do I need to uninstall the first one and install the second?

Seriously, wait till you've had the phone for about a week before doing anything to it. You sound like a puppy that's about to go for a walk! Chill man. Get to know the phone before you start changing it, or you'll just end up asking for things that it already does!
Yeah thanks.
Any answers to the questions I asked though?

File explorer will not let you copy/move certain files, but Total Commander, or Resco Explorer will. Just get the latest version, and don't worry about the processor. They run on Windows - they don't care about the processor.
If you install theme/visual changes, there's no hard-and-fast rule about what to do to replace the changes. Some of them you can uninstall and it restores the original look. Others don't. You can usually just install a new change over a previous one, but not always. You're gonna have to just find out through trial and error, or by asking, when you have specific questions to ask.
I wasn't being dismissive earlier - there's just no straight forward answer to such ambiguous questions.
Enjoy your new phone mate. I've had mine for 6 weeks now and I still love it like it was new yesterday!

Uhh... yes it does. Menu -> Edit -> Copy/Cut/Paste/Paste Shortcut. I've got Total Commander but I only really ever use it for registry tweaks.

Uhh... just because the options are there doesn't mean they work for every file. As you quoted me saying, "File explorer will not let you copy/move certain files" (certain files, not all files).
Thanks
Uhh... You're both right!
File Explorer will NOT let you copy/move/delete certain files
However it WILL let you copy/move/delete certain files
The key is the words 'certain files'. The 'certain files' John C is referring to are, for example, most of the files stored in the Windows folder and these tend to be exactly the ones we want to delete or rename. You WILL need one of the above-mentioned apps to mess around with them.
File Explorer is fine if you're only manipulating non-System files.

I was only explaining that I wasn't wrong - he'd misread my statement. Obviously if it doesn't work for certain files then it does work for the rest. The context of the question suggests that the OP needed that explaining to him, or he'd only come back later and say "I can't copy this manila file into the windows folder", and we'd have to explain it to him then!
Bottom line, we're all right, and we're all trying to give the OP a concise answer (which I think he's got now)
Ah ok, my bad. Sorry.
Ahhh... That's nice...
Now we're all friends again, to come back to the OP's original question, I'm with John C on this. Take your time, get to know your phone and decide what you REALLY need first.
IMHO, the only thing you should install from the start is the BSB Tweaks cab (Just search the Leo forum for latest version - I think it's in a sticky somewhere). This will save you having to install a Registry Editor and installing a lot of these tweaks manually. It also makes it a lot easier to switch the tweaks on and off.
There are also some HTC updates now available (for Camera, SMS and SD Card). They have been out for a few days now and I haven't seen too many complaints, so I would say they are all safe to install...
Finally... ROM updates...
There are a couple now available from HTC. But again, unless you're experiencing a problem which you know has been fixed by these new ROMs, I would leave them alone. I've still got the original O2 ROM in my HD2 and it's working perfectly well, so I've not bothered to upgrade just yet.
All of the above is just my personal opinion. Hope you find it useful...
By the way, if you find BSB Tweaks (or any other cab that someone has invested time and effort into creating) useful, you might want to think about making a small donation. A $5 PayPal transaction is easily made, costs about the price of a pint (in the UK) and really makes these guys (and gals) faces light up!
Wont be updating the ROM. TBH I dont even know if I will be keeping the phone. I am an iPhone owner .

Now you tell us...! ;-)
Just before we all get tarred with the same brush, I'm also an iPhone owner, and will be keeping my ROM-upgraded HD2 and selling my 3GS ;-)
Got my HD2.Although Im liking(not loving) it ,there are a couple ofthings I dont like.
1) I sometimes wake up to 30+ spam emails.Do I really have to open each one and delete them individually?(havent had the phone 24 hours so happy to be proved wrong)
2) I dislike the fact that when I delete an email from the phone, it deletes from the server
3)Dont like having to mess about opening different video players depending on codec (BUT it does play different codecs so cant really complain I guess)
4) This is probably down to not having too much time to play, but how do I get the screen to turn off? Is there a setting somewhere I can turn it off after x amount of time.Or do I HAVE to press the power button?

5) Oh, and the Alarm!!! Is it possibly the worst alarm on a mobile phone ever?
Im not the heaviest of sleepers but there is a strong possibility that I would miss the 2 second alarm.

1) You can click on "Inbox" then Menu->Select Messages->Several, Choose the messages you want to mark as read then Menu->Mark as read/delete
2) I kindof makes sence to delete the email - keep the two in sync or is that only my perception on things
3) Try use one codec possibly, I'm certain there are different players out there with the ability to play a wider range its just a case of looking (sorry i don't really use my phone for music/multiple video formats)
4) Yes there is a setting settings->sound and display->backlight
5)Agreed it is rubbish I've tried G alarm because everyone seems to rave about it but i wasn't too keen but you could still try it and it does do the alarm sound for longer than 2 rings
Thanks for that Strange though because the screen is set to switch off after 1 minute. It doesn't! Was still on when I woke up this morning

Your best bet would be to make a shortcut to the folders they are in and then copy the shortcut to the start menu and then assign an icon to them.
HMMM?
How would i make an icon to that folder though thats the main answer i want
P.S. thats exactly what i did and thats what i really want to do make an icon for that folder shortcut to work on the start menu

Ok find an icon you want either on the internet or the forums and then you need to make the reg setting for it. Something like this,
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\"you link name here".lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_FileExp.png"
then drop your icon in the windows folder and then reboot and the icon should take
OK

Or you could use something like JWMD Icon Changer, no reg editing and lets you save and load themes of Icons .....
Sigh...
Well i used JWMD Icon Changer to change the shortcut in my start menu and well it worked but it says "the file _____ cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. if the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file." in other words it cant opened even if the icon is there...i probably need a .exe to open the folder i made to an icon like the transformers app...sigh it would be easier if u guys made one for me, an app icon that i can put my videos & movies in that app anytime i want, just like the transformers movie app
It would be much appreciated if someone did this for tnx

Try creating your shortcut to the folder like this
Assume you know some of this but gonna cover the whole thing ..
create a text document on your pc, change movies to wherever you want, ...
35#"fexplore.exe" \Storage Card\Movies
the number before the # is the number of characters after the #
create the file in notepad, move it to the device /windows/start menu/programs and rename it .lnk
This will launch file explorer to the folder of your choice ...
Then change the icon to whatever you want ...
And of course since it is a .lnk in your start menu , it will show up so you can add quicklinks ...
TNX

I attached the link ... just unzip it, and put it in /windows/Start menu/programs
in device memory
be sure to create a folder on your Storage card called movies ..
When connecting to activesync and browsing to the \Windows directory in main phone memory, sometimes it can take a while for the folder to show the files, so when it opens just goto \windows\start menu\programs and copy the lnk in the zip to there ...
Hope it works ....
Oh My GOD!
Holy crap it worked thank you so much watcher64 & tnx 4 sticking with the questions i was saying and all that other crap but man I cant tnx u enough so thank you again.
Hope this helps other people
