Hi dear xda friends
After upgrade my HD with various roms I found that im tired with new HTC ALBUM that have not good zooming function and there are some other lags and little pic options
So I decided to start searching and I didn’t find any reasonable and original looking alternative
So I start to test and change some program setting to use instead HTC ALBUM and I discovered a very interesting procedure with using resco photo manager instead of HTC ALBUM to be used in Manila mode
Just follow this instruction and start enjoying your blackstone with this new photo function
1 – install resco photo manager and resco explorer
2 – backup your HTCALBUM.exe in windows folder with resco explorer you should know that htcalbum.exe is hidden and you should disable hide hidden files function in resco explorer to find this file
3 – go to program files / resco photo manager and copy all files and folders to alternate folder and then go to this folder and rename photoman.exe to htcalbum.exe then copy all files and folders to windows folder with resco explorer and accept to overwrite htcalbum.exe
4 – go to start/programs/resco photo manager /menu/setting /general setting /start in folder and select camera roll
5 - go to start/programs/resco photo manager /menu/setting /general setting and disable use G-Sensor
6 - go to start/programs/resco photo manager /menu/setting / viewer settings /default rotation and chose auto-landscape right
7- exit resco photo manager and slide to photos and videos tab and start viewing and enjoying your black stone with this uniqe function
If you have problem with scrolling to next or previous photo go to resco photo manager setting and enable show next/prev buttons at viewer setting tab
im using resco photo manger 7
Good luck

I tried this but when the phone loads Resco Photo Manager all I get is a white screen. If I load photo manager normally it works fine.
Any ideas?
I did it that way http://sites.google.com/site/bbonzzsoft/misc
This hack will load resco photo manager instead of HtcAlbum in Sense 2.5. With it, you'll have this behaviour: clicking on a photo Resco will open with that photo; clicking on "Album" left softkey will open Resco with the default folder you have configured inside resco itself.
You can either use the attached batch (bottom of this page) or follow the tutorial below to do it yourself

1) Download RescoHack.zip and extract it
2) Start "RescoHackHTCAlbumTab.cmd" and follow the steps
and you get a cab file you can install.
Update: I've attached the needed files for you (english + german)
The cab's are for (old) Resco Photo Manager 7 path structure
english: Storage Card\Program Files\Resco Photo Manager\PhotoMan.exe
german: Speicherkarte\Programme\Resco Photo Manager\PhotoMan.exe
For the new Resco Photo Manager Pro path structure I've attached the needed 6967589d_manila file (no cab sorry, copy it to ppc \windows
english: Storage Card\Program Files\Resco Photo Manager Pro\PhotoManPro.exe
german: Speicherkarte\Programme\Resco Photo Manager Pro\PhotoManPro.exe

Hi all, I have a little problem with file association.
I can't install a .CAB file anymore from my Qtek2020 because Resco Explorer opens it first with its zip-manager plug-in; so how could I do?
Thx a lot!
Cya
what if you try to do it from file explore ?
and maybe hold down the stylus untill the option menu comes up
dont use Resco Explorer so not sure if it could be a problem in general
I've tried to do it from file explorer but when i tap on the .cab file it automatically starts resco zip-manager plug-in, so I can't perform any operation!
what application stats .cab file?
if I know it I can restore the right file associations
Plz anyone has some help to give?
I'm stuck in this big trouble!
You want to associate the cab files with \Windows\wceload.exe
You can use Pocket Tweak or a number of other tools including Resco file explorer to do this.
Here's what happened...
There was an icon inside my games folder that didnt do anything. Clicking it just gave me an error (forgot the error already). I took the risk and deleted the icon. After a reset, my Games folder was showing up as an ordinary folder (no card icon below it).
Can anyone copy their Games folder and attach to this post??? Or maybe just give me the solution...
~ishtangli
maybe that's a glitch in the system files... why don't you just hard reset your phone? back up your contacts and calendar of course..
Attached is the file you have deleted. This file is the icon for the Games folder (it's actually a shortcut file). You can customize the icon of any folder by creating a file named "icon.lnk" with a content similar below:
1#ceshell.dll,-162
Using a 3rd party File Explorer (e.g. Resco), you will be able to see this file. Using the defaul File Explorer, you will only be able to see this file when you turn on "View All Files" option (tap and hold on any open area of the default File Explorer and this option will be shown on the context menu).
In my experience, this icon appears inside the Games folder when I go through Start -> Programs -> Games when the "View All Files" option is turned on. Try turning it off and this icon file disappears.
Have fun,
YajP
Marc,
It would take too long to restore all my applications and settings if i Hard Reset.
File didnt work. Placed it inside the Games folder and reset my device. Have you had experience restoring any of these icon files?
~ishtangli
Nope, didn't have such problem. I also deleted that icon.lnk in the Games folder before thinking that it was installed wrongfully by some of the 3rd party apps... to my surprise, the Games folder was reduced to an ordinary folder icon when I go to the Programs menu. So what I did was got that file from one of my colleagues, copied it to my device and tried to solve the issue of hiding that icon file. Below are the current screen shots from my pocket pc... hope it helps...
ishtangli, my ROM is still the stock one: 1.66 WWE... so am not sure if the functionality was changed in other ROM upgrades (1.72, WM2003SE) =)
that's a very possible suggestion! i think the functionality wouldnt change in other rom versions.. i'd say go with the RESCO solution
Maybe some kind soul could post their entire games folder...
~ishtangli
Here it is...
still didnt work. hmmm.... seems kinda simple but it just wont work. WM2003SE thing?!?! Whatever it is, im not hard resetting my device just to get some damn icon back. Thanks guys! If you find any solution, post it here aite...
~ishtangli
Games Icon
Try this.
Download, unzip and copy the icon.lnk file within to the /Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games folder.
It is a shortcut to target the shell *.dll file that contains the icon that is displayed for the games folder: shellres.dll,-8229
So that must be the difference, the link to the icon file...
from
1#ceshell.dll,-162 (ROM1.66)
to
shellres.dll,-8229 (WM2003SE)...
Yeah

Hello,
I am using Manilla 2d on my HTC Touch. Before using it I had standart HTC HOme. It had good button that changed the brightness of display (as its shown in 1st image) . Is it possible to put such button in programs tab of Manilla? (I can change the brightness , but it takes time to go to Settings->System> and change there the brightness. )
Thanks for Help
Use a program like Resco Explorer (Or if connected PC, browse your \Windows folder from there), go to your Windows folder and copy the backlight.exe file, then go into \windows\Start Menu\Programs, and paste a shortcut there. It'll then show up in the list of programs to add to the Manilla Programs tab.
I don't think there's a way to add changing the brightness in one touch to M2D programs tab, but it's fine for me at least.
Thanks for Help
hmm. there is another problem that i cannot find \windows\Start Menu\Programs folder.
I have sprite explorer on my pc and it shows in my backup file that Start menu\Programs is in folder System Settings. but i cant find it on my htc
Odd. Try clicking menu then tick "Show All Files", but even when you do that, you can't paste a shortcut into there using the normal File Explorer. You probably could copy the exe file there, but I hadn't tried that. That's why I say to try Resco Explorer on the HTC.
Finally everything works. direct link do Backlight. Thanx a lot
finding backlight.exe
hi,
thanks for the tip, but i can't find backlight.exe, only backlight.dll
any help much appreciated.

Hello everyone,
I just got a new Touch HD and im full of questions and need help badly.
I've downloaded the Touch_HD_UI package and when i came to this part...
HOW TO MAKE YOUR APPS DEFAULT
- Install a registry editor (Resco Explorer and Totalcommander are included)
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/microsoft/Shell/Rai
- there you find lots of keys like IMG for the picture viewer, :MSFEXPLORE for your file explorer and so on...
I want to do the winterface, but I'm having a problem...
How the HELL do i find the hkey_local_machine/software/microsoft/shell/rai ??? I've looked tiredlessly and cant hind nothing.
Can someone give a run down on how to put winterface andn making my own applications default???
Thanks and God bless.

I just tried and found hkey_local_machine/software/microsoft/shell/rai first time using a registry editor
Using your file exporer (Resco Explorer or Totalcommander) go to Windows and open file called RegEdit (i.e. registry editor).
If you want a faster access to this file in future create a shortcut of it and put it into your startmenu or programs folder
There are other registry editors out there if you do a search.

Actually that's what threw me off using TotalCommander the first time as well... It has a strange way of getting into the registry: You have to go to the topmost level (just hit the backslash top right) and then go into "\\Plugins", then "registry". There, hkey_local_machine is HKLM...
Hope that helps!
Hi first of all I wanna say that this site is very nice!
There are lots of nice themes here, but I would like to know how to edit the TF3D theme myself.
What software do you need for that? Thanks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464984
and a PNG editor, (paint works but you won't get transparencies), if you have photoshop all power to you, a good free one is Gimp.
use mode 9 to convert QTC1 files into .PNG. then use an image editor to change the .PNG to look like whatever you want.
Use mode 9 to convert back to a QTC1 file and then drag it to your Windows folder (on your device). Cycle TF3D off and then on again (Settings > Today > items > TF3D)
And you should see your theme there
Good luck on it mate

I don't know how to get into the windows directory on the phone with m9editor.
When i use activesync, i can't get into the directory; when I click on 'my device' on 'this computer', i can't explore the phone, I just see nothing there. And when I use Diskdrive, I can only look into the internal storage.
So I just tried to copy it to my computer, I thought I would be able to copy them back into the windows directory of my phone. But the quality of the copied files is worse I think, when I open them wit photoshop I get a very pixelated image How do I load that files using m9editor?
