***********additional information 2006-May-15**********
regarding to initflashfiiles.dat and initboji.dat
i tired to write initflashfiles.dat in Japanese chalachtor, but not in CODE,
seems to work.
*write initflashfiles.dat in Japanese to specify Japanese Localized shell folders and Japanese re-named Short cuts. then add into rom.
also deleate both of 2 old dat files from rom.
then flash it back to my Uni, the localized shell folders were created!
this can save a lot of time to create the Localized ROM :shock:
But,,, still testing that ROM can work correctry.......or not.
<some appurication buttons can not assained if without initboji.dat>

@ to edit the dll or exe from AKU2 rom, they have some difference.
Strings can be edited only with Platform Builder now.

Can I have your instructions?
Hi Asukal(sama):
I'm trying to localize my Universal to my local language.
I'm stuck now before boot set-up process after hard reset.
So, I would like to ask you several questions.
Could you show me your instructions / suggestions?
1) Certification Store (way 2-1)
You said I have to take out CertificationStore from registry file.
I could not find any key of "CertificationStore", so I compared my registry before and after SDK_Cert installation.
I found there are some differences in registry file, which are:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates\SPC\Certificates\XXXXX] –- 3 keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates\Privileged Execution Trust Authorities\Certificates\XXXXX] – 3 keys
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates\Unprivileged Execution Trust Authorities\Certificates\XXXXX] – 2 keys
I removed "\" that locates on each line of hex data and write these keys on default.hv file.
However, the start-up process just after hard reset didn't start...
I also found some other differences on registry files, which seems certification file update time.
Do I have to put update time keys on default.hv file?
Or am I still missing something?
2) MUI (way 2-2)
I could sign *.mui files with SDK_Cert.
You said PE header must be corrected if I cannot sign *.mui.
In other words, you mean I don't have to correct PE headers because I can sign my *.mui?
As far as I checked my *.mui files, it seems OK.
3) iniboj.dat (way 3)
I could dump iniboj.dat and initflashfiles.dat and translated them to my language.
Of course I saved in Unicode (UTF-16) and removed the first 2 byte "ff fe".
When I run "delfile.exe", I noticed "delfile.exe" showed the error message that "delfile.exe" could not find iniboj.dat.
But I could add iniboj.dat with "addfile.exe".
Is this a normal message from "delfile.exe"? FYI, my base ROM is Qtek's AKU2; 1.30.77.
4) *.hv files (way 4)
I think the following is the keys that I must change.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"StartUp"="\\Windows\\StartUp"
"Recent"="\\Windows\\Recent"
"Programs"="\\Windows\\Programs"
"Favorites"="\\Windows\\Favorites"
"Desktop"="\\Windows\\Desktop"
Even I changed these keys, I cannot start my start-up process...
Are these keys enough to start start-up process?
I appreciate any suggestions / supports / instructions!!
Thank you.
hi! Camrade!
Re Qeuestions
1;certificate sotre. 3 entries are correct.
@But i am not sure what you removed???
i did not remove any thing and copy it to HV.
@yes update time must be in HV also.
like follows.
without this. no work as sertificate authentification.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates\Privileged Execution Trust Authorities]
"UpdateTime"=hex:\
00,e0,46,50,1c,96,c5,01
2;if your mui can be signed, they should be workable.
but i am afraid your mui of core-dll Strings Table were broken.
PLS reffer this thread about that!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=49423&highlight=
if you are not sure, pls send me one of them to check it.
3:re-iniboj.dat, as you told me the eror message of delfile.exe will notice you, because i doesnt exisit in rom files. it was in XIP area.
But dont mind that. procceed it!
4;Shell folders; that is enough in hv, to just specify the loaction of Shell folder.<this also discribed in shellres.dll.
But no start up menu if there were localized Shell folders by failed initialized 2 dat files.
@the os can boot even the shellres.dll.xxxx.mui is not worked,
just missing Programs in StarMenu.
Now i am afraid your shellres____mui is read by OS, but it was incorrect.
@to change the Dr.Johnson screen to Japanes one, replace "stylus2.192.gif" and "stylus1.192.gif" with ones from JP os.
But the fisrt sentence before Stylus work for Dr.Johnson is from Shellres.mui, so your are failed in to read shellres_mui if it was still english.
Good luck!
Almost completed
Thank you, Asukal!
With your responses and instructions, I can finally boot my Universal with my language from boot screen!
I’ll make init*.dat file and try to make more localized ROM.
It seems a little difficult (complicated) to make initflashfiles.dat file translating to Unicode character code. But I’ll try!
Again, Thank you very much!!
shugoh
pls try to write iniflshfile.dat in Katakana, instead of Code,
i did try this some part of them just now.
Seems to be worked. But not sure .........didnt test all of in this dat,
just a part of it.
if the Katakana written dat was workable, it will be so easy to create
the Shell folders in Japanese................ :lol:
Hi Asukal,
I also want to join but I don't have the hex editor....the process is so complicated and the "key" is we have you on this website that do cook the ROM for us. Thanks a lot again.
If you have invented some easy installation files that want me to try, please let me know. I tried to edit the latest O2 ROM but unsuccessful....
Cheers,

Hi, Asukal:
This my be very stupid question...
I could translate html portion of shellres.dll with your instruction.
However, I still cannot do of tapres.sll and tshres.dll.......
Maybe this is because the type of resouce is different from shellres's.
So I tried to move html of tapres and tshres to another resources using PB because the other tools I have doesn't work...
When I wanted to save modified resource on PB, PB said I could not save the new resource because PB could not load resources from executable file...
I know this question is the basic one if I want to use PB.
But if you can show (a) hint(s) to me, I would appreciate your support very much.
Thank you!
shugoh
i guess PB can only save the files as "*****.exe" or "******.dll",
but not as a "******.dll.xxxxx.mui"
so you must save it as "anyname_you_want.dll" with out xxxx.mui to other folder.
then go to next step, because files edited with PB can not to be signed.
To enable to be signed, go following steps.
1;Open "any dll" or exe which havs correct PE header with Restorator.
2;Dlelete all of resources from this dll or exe.<make empty dll>
3:On another window of Resotrator ,
Open "anyname_you_want.dll" edited and save by PB
4rag and drop all resources exept "255" resource from
"anyname_you_want.dll" to "empty.dll"
5;save this empty.dll filled with resources of "anyname_you_want.dll",
as the name of your tagert xxxx.mui
6:Close all windows of resotrator.
7;try to sign on that mui, you may able to sign on that!
Good luck
Thank you for your instruction about PB and html.
however, I still cannot save modified file even though I put file name with *.exe or *.dll.
As my test, I opened x86 file and modified its file and I can save the modified. But still cannot tapres and tshres.......
I also tried some WM5 files, but not succeeded in saving it...orz
I installed all PB functions but for MIPS or SH4, which should not necessary for WM5.
The attaced is the error massage appreared when I wanted to save modifed WM file. (I installed Japanese PB, so error message is in Japanese)
"ta.dll" is only a temporary name for modified tapres.
I appresitate your any comments.
Thank you.
shugoh
I did it!!
Asukal:
I finally can make localized tapres and tsh with your recommended tools!!
Please see my blog at your convenience!
I'll try to localize folders with init*.dat files!!
Thank you very much!!
(If I have difficulties on making init*.dat files, I may ask you suggestions after I make every effort I can make,)
Thanks again
shugoh
Hi, Asukal
I can localize init*.dat file according to your post on May-15.
As you said, it seems OK that we can describe folder names on both *.dat file, not Unicode Code #.
So far I have no trouble with these *.dat files.
Thank you.
shugoh
Glad to here that!
You have done! you r a MAN!
Keep on going Dark Side!
Hello, Asukal
I'm back...
I have had a strange problem. As a matter of fact, I haven't solved this problem even though I could make Universal ROM in my language.
When I make my Universal hard & soft reset, I always see 2 white bold lines above and below "Windows Mobile" on 2nd splash screen.
I found these lines don't appear when I change mui regional setting. I mean no white lines on 2nd splash when I change:
1) shellres.dll.0411.mui to shellres.dll.0409.mui
2) shellresapps.dll.0411.mui to shellresapps.dll.0409.mui
(I'm trying to change English ROM to Japanese.)
0411 and 0409 have exactly same contents; I just change their name and place them on "windows" folder.
3) Change mui setting both of the following from 411 to 409.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI]
"SysLang"=dword:00000411
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI]
"CurLang"=dword:411
With these changes, I can boot my Universal without white lines and Uni seems working well. (Of course, all letters except for the ones in these 2 mui are in English. But I suppose I can see Japanese if I change all 0411.mui to 0409.mui. (Haven't tested)
I also noticed I didn't change the region code in init*.dat. (i.e. LOC_0409_DIRWINDOWSHELP, not LOC_0411_DIRWINDOWSHELP)
So I changed init*.dat files and made new ROM with 0411.mui (incl. shellres & shellresapps).
However, there were still 2 white bold lines on 2nd splash...
I haven't added:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ColdInit]
"Locale"=dword:00000411
"ColdInit2Done"=dword:00000001
"ColdInit1Done"=dword:00000001
Because my Uni has always stuck before the initial setup (screen alignment and Dr. Johnson etc.).
This time, I added these keys per your instruction, but I'm stuck again...
Do I have to add [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ColdInit] ?
This would not directly relate to my experience, but I think I can find where I made mistakes.
I appreciate your response.
Thank you.
on my rom, i changed
LOC_0409_DIRWINDOWSHELP, to LOC_0411_DIRWINDOWSHELP
also i added folows
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ColdInit]
but i dont think those are not reason of your problem,
did you tried to edit new one from versin nbf??
i guees the ROM was crashed,,, i never happend,
you think some reason of registry,,,
how about htis,,,
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Stylus\192DPI]
"FontArray"="500,600,900,1000,1200"
"CurFont"=dword:384
this is the for Screen resolution.
But in my case,,without this,, not happend problems like you,,,,
strange,,,,
Hi, Asukal:
I finally find the root cause of 2 bold lines on welcomehead screen!
the mui file taking charge of screen alignment on start-up set-up process causes this problem. I made the new one with PB and solved this problem!!
(I made the previous one with another tool...)
I'm very glad to inform you this and appreciate your supports very much!!!
P.S. However, I'm still stuck with Coldinit... But this is not an issue.
This is a very usefull software for PPC phone. The writer issued a new edition just now.
Now, CeleDial utility, the best dialing helper for PPC Phone, support English UI without fully support (no English help, also).
To support other languages, e.g. French, you need an extrenal mapping table for your French Name. Just do that to enable External Mapping Table:
1. Create a Unicode text file named CeleDial.txt.
2. Fill the French Characters to Alpha Characters mapping line by line:
a àâä
e éèêê
......
and so on.
3. Put this text file into CeleDial's Folder (e.g. \Program Files\CeleDial\CeleDial.txt)
4. Reboot your device to enable the external mapping table.
5. Send your mapping table to me, if possible

thx for your help.
Here you have version 1.6.668.2458 that I made english.
For WM2003(se)
Copy the celedial.dll and celedial.htm to \windows.
Edit the regitry:
[HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone]
DialpadDll="celedial.dll"
DialpadWndPrc=dword:00000099
I don't know the registry entries for Wm5/6.
Cheers
Oops forgot the zip file
Cheers
thanks man !!!!
my problem is that when using on HTC Touch then Celedial overwrites graphically the backspace button so I cannot delete entered numbers.
Google for "celedial touch" and find this:

hi... very nice app, is there a way to install any skins? i try to have a look on the site you post, but there is a server error.

This version will probably work OK on Htc Touch
CeleDial.1.6.722 (not completely translated though since I cannot test it)
Cheers
hi tweakradje thank you so much but at the zip there is only a html and a DLL-file. what to do with that?
I really like celedial so far (just testing)
Is there any posibillity to skin the white window? The app is great but looks very ugly.
Are there skins available jet? Or can I create some on my own?
Hi every body been working on a rom kitchen when i got to the initflashfiles File Editing I put this Tool Together thought i'd share it so here it is

Any more-advanced-than-Notepad text editor can do the trick...
Just save as Unicode without BOM.

Please explane BOM ?? The tool merges 2 files correcting format opens in hexeditor all with clear instruction PLEASE explane BOM ?
Thanks Swampy395
I know this thread is old. But awesome work as well. Very excellent utility for editing .dats
Also to edit those files with notepad you have to know which format to save it. I tried like that and failed.
So this tool was a lifesaver! Thanks a lot buddy. Only thing I can add is after you use the delete key on your keyboard to delete the FF and FE from the Hexed .dat you click save and you have to give it awhile to finish. Look at the bottom of the program it will say updating network and saving or something.
Hello,
I am looking for the manila file that contains the dutch translation of the calendar text. Right now I see IDS_TOMORROW on the touchflow3d calendar while it should say "Morgen". I have found a thread about the german manila file, but not the dutch one. Does anyone know which file I need to edit to add this translation?
Edit: ok, found the file and fixed the translation. You need to add the following:
<trans-unit id="IDS_TOMORROW">
<source>Morgen</source>
</trans-unit>
to the file /windows/7a56f756_manila
David
I also have the IDS_TOMORROW problem but I cant file the "7a56f756_manila" file in the "file /windows/" folder.
Is it the wrong file?

Nope, it is the right one. Are you using Resco explorer? you might have Resco set to hide hidden or rom files. Change that in the settings of resco and you will see the file.
David
What is the right way to change the file?
I can't get it opened...
thanks
Why dont you just change the language of the TFLO3d.
I run a german rom and an English tflo3d
Dimond TF3D Config did that for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
I will add it to wiki
Hi,
My TF3D is already Dutch, but for calendar appointments for tomorrow (in Dutch, tomorrow = "morgen"), it displays IDS_TOMORROW.

It took me a while to get it done as well. The best way to do it is to get the file on your desktop system, edit it, and then replace the original. You will probably have to do that through the SD. First copy the file to the SD card, then drag it to your desktop. Edit it. Save it back to SD card and then using resco file explorer replace the original file.
If you can't get it done, let me know, I can upload my manila file so you can replace the original one.
David
thanks a lot !
it worked
Do you know what is the file for Spanish?
Thanks
Just picked up my HD2 yesterday and already tweaked it quite a bit using tips from this forum. However, there is one thing I can't seem to resolve.
The original dutch HTC Sense puts the tab title of 'music' in caps. So it's like "Mail, Weather, MUSIC, Calendar, etc" (Mail, Weer, MUZIEK, Agenda, etc.). It's obviously some sort of typo in the translation to dutch and although it doesn't affect usability it really annoys me.
This is what I've tried so far:
- Search the register for the string value 'MUZIEK' or anything close to that
- Search the content of Manila XML files for the string value 'MUZIEK'
- Open manila.exe with ResHacker to search for strings..
None of those gave me any locations where I could change 'MUZIEK' to 'Muziek'.
Any suggestions?
I bet it's in one of the many 'xxxxxxx_manila' files under /Windows/. On the Touch Pro, one of those contained the today screen tabs info. I remember I changed a tab title there once.
I haven't gotten around to looking for it yet on my HD2, but I'd like to change that 'MUZIEK' title as well!
It is in: Windows/56ae5a2d_manila (line 27) and Windows/784be3cb_manila (line 6)
I remember now: the file is /windows/26948339_manila.
You should copy the file to another location, open it with a text viewer and look for this line:
<Page Order="8" Name="music.page" PackageName="HTC" Title=[[IDS_MUSICTITLE]]>
I believe the 'Title' field is the one we want. It uses some kind of variable called [[IDS_MUSICTITLE]], that I guess holds the string 'MUZIEK'. Since I don't know where that variable is defined and if we can change it [edit: see post above], I think we could (for now) just replace the variable right here with the title we want.
So, the line should become:
<Page Order="8" Name="music.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Muziek">
Save the file under the same name. Then copy it back to /Windows/ using TotalCommander (a file explorer that can 'overwrite' ROM files). Then restart HTC Sense.
I should warn you that this is all speculation based on what I (vaguely) remember doing on my previous phone. I haven't installed TotalCommander on my HD2 yet and I'm too tired to experiment right now... So try at your own risk.
There you go, my question was already answered while I was posting.
Changing the variable where it is defined is a much more elegant solution than replacing it ad hoc, of course.
Nothing even close to "MUZIEK in "26948339_manila"
have a look at the two files that I mentioned.
Both files have <source>MUZIEK</source> in it!
Just tested my "fix", and yes... After a reset it's now showing Muziek.
B.t.w. It's not the only typo.
Have a go at adding a new contact.
Look at what its saying for second name (Achternm)

I think my fix would work because I'm replacing [[IDS_MUSICTITLE]] (which stores the string 'MUZIEK') with 'Muziek'. But yours is better because it fixes the problem at the source. Thanks!
Thanks guys! Editing the Windows/56ae5a2d_manila and Windows/784be3cb_manila files did the job! They don't have an .xml extensions which explains why they didn't show up in my searches.
Robrecht: I had tried overwriting the MUSICTITLE variable name with 'Muziek' before but that didn't make a difference. That might have been the title the way it shows up in the settings screen where you can change the order of the tabs.
I'll try so search for the 'Achternm' typo in these files as well...
I fixed the 'achternm' typo in the contact editor. It was baked into an executable. Replace the file in the attached zip with the one in the phone's Windows folder.

Maybe a dumb question, but how can I replace the file? It says it's in use (which makes sense).
You can overwrite ROM files with a file explorer like Resco Explorer or Total Commander. Also; I would always make a backup of files you overwrite.
Btw. These are the edited _manila files with the fixed MUZIEK (caps) typo. Same story as above for the /Windows folder on your phone. (Phone needs to be restarted)

From what ROM did you extract and altered the ContactEditor.exe.0413.mui because now in ROM 1.48, all the field names are gone !!! Please explain to us how and what you have done with the .exe to fix the Achternm typo?
