autocorrect.txt

Hi everybody,
I just noticed that on the universal /windos directory there is a file called autocorrect.txt, that contains the text replacement when you mispell something. I am not sure it is the one used by the system, but I tried to modify it to add my own words.
The problem is that this file is in rom, and I cannot edit or delete the file (I tried with total commander)
Any idea?

Copy to PC
Edit
Copy back, with overwrite..
Might have to use Resco..
Anyway, probably same procedure as with sym.txt

Yesterday I tried something like 20 times without success... With Total Commander was not able to clear the rom and system flags... I also tried disabling the autocorrect and soft rebooting, just in case the file was in use...
Today I tried - overwritten without any problem!
Thank you!

Replacing Messenger sound

All,
is it possible to change the sound in Messenger when a contact goes online ? I have located the sound (Msgbox.wav) in the windows folder however its protected so I cant just replace it.
Any ideas ?
Cheers
Jakob

Just rename the file whichever u want to assign by this same name & then try to replace it with this file .

Ive tried to rename the file but its some kind of system file and protected for changes.

Use file explorer like total commander go to properties uncheck the readme only abd system tabs and then try again.

Tried changing the settings in total commander....but doesnt work :-(

Deleting some files

Hi,
Can I unlock files from Windows directory , for example: camera.exe and delete them. When I try to delete this file I receive an error. There are any programs for unlocking or I must edit ROM? And last question, if i delete this file, it will be more memory available?
I have HTC Charmer with WM5.

files located in the rom cant be deleted and if they could it would not add memory for applications or storage

Can't change weather cities file

Well i've been trying to modify the weather cities file so the list will be a lot shorter and only contain the cities that are important to me. but when I try to remove the read-only property with total commander, nothing happens. because of this property, I can't change anything about this file, can't move it, delete it of replace it with a modified version I have on my desktop. Has anyone got an idea? It should work this way on a normal HTC touch, but my Dual won't cooperate
and in addition: How can I modify the register with Total commander? I read here or on another forum it should be possible, but I can't find that option. or are there better programs to do that?

Not sure about #1 but for the registry you can use Resco Explorer
About the weather, is there a way to update the data without using the HTC Home plugin ? I use SPB v4 and S2U2 that can display the weather on its screen saver.

The registry problem has been fixed. I now know how to enter the register with total commander. (use the \ button then go to the folder \\ and there you will find the folder register)
but I still can't edit the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file. is there maybe another way to remove the read only property of this file?

can you change attributes with total commander?

That's what I'm trying to do. When I look into the properties of the file, the attribute for Read only, system and in rom are checked. According to a howto I read somewhere, I have to remove the read only attribute. When I do that, and press te OK button in the screen (not the one in the upper right corner) and then open the properties of the file again, the read only attribute is checked again.
edit:
I gave it a try from my pc with altap Salamander 2.5 to change the attribute -> it gives me an access denied error. somehow I'm not allowed to change anything in the windows folder?
edit 2:
Installed SPB pocked plus 4 and tried to change the attributes of t he file with the enhanched file explorer: Same problem, nothing is changed when I re-open the properties of the file. when I try to rename it, it tells me the file might be in use or the memory is full or write protected. I've closed the HTC today plugin and there's enough free space. the only thing is, the file is read-only

No one has tried this on his touch dual? hmm... and no one has any idea to remove the read only attribute of the file?

I have the same problem. Can't remove the read-only status of the WeatherCities files using TotalCommander or Resco FE.
Anyone?

Possible sollution
There is a HTC Home Plugin Customizer. With this piece of software you can modify the look and feel of the HTC Home plugin and also edit in the weather file and insert your own city instead of the preselected cities by HTC.
Here's a link to the download.

Hope that this solves your problem.

I have resolved the problem
Copy HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml on your pc do the modification and rename it on HH_0409_WeatherCities2.xml .
copy HH_0409_WeatherCities2.xml on your ppc in the same folder and rename it with resco .

Editing XT9 words on PC?

Hi, is there any way how to edit XT9 words on PC? I know about the et9MyWords.exe app in WM, but I want something more comfortable...
Thx
EDIT: Ok, I've found that editing HTCMDB.txt from Windows directory does the job...

Nice. Thanks for this info.

How do you edit and save HTCMDB.txt file? It's a system file found under Windows folder. Won't allow modification of this file.
Any work around?

htc x9 edit
i used total commander (explorer dose not allow you to modify system files) to copy the file to sd card (otherwiswe wont let you edit it) edit+save and then copy to windows folder (overwritting) and that s it

I was able to do it using Total Commander. But it doesn't seem to work. The additional words i put in there were not recognized. And the edited file with more words is only half the size of the original file. What went wrong?

in fact i've translated part of the words allready existing in the file (takes some time to do them all manually) and it worked thow i did not take notice of the final file size

I can't add new words to the list? Only change existing words?
