Hi all!
I was just wanting to see what other people were using as their metro wallpaper. I was getting bored of the old ones I made and I was still using the consumer preview imageres file so I just started over for the release preview.
Here is my current one (ignore the break in the middle, its just more of the same starfield). Looking forward to seeing what other people are using so that I can steal it
How do you crate that ... it's beautiful
You change the imageres.dll file.
This isn't the exact walkthrough that I used, but it is similar enough (it is in italian so you may need to translate.
http://windows8italia.forumfree.it/?t=60566861
Then it is just a matter of finding an image you like and splitting it in half in a logical way.
I see that someone is following my guides.
This is my first post here and I did not imagine finding this my guide
This guide I made on the Consumer Preview, however, also works on Relase Preview.
If there are errors or incomprehensions let me know

Yep it is a great guide. :victory:
The other one that I had used before was on Tweakscene but all of the good stuff seems to be behind a paywall now. There was another one that I had used in the past on a chinese site, but I don't even know how I got there in the first place, let alone how to find it again.

Thanks a lot
There are many things to do to improve Windows 8 more ...
This, however, was one of my first guides, and, I repeat, I had written when there was still the CP.
If there are "Resource Editor" that double as command, I could make a more automated little program for customizing the start-screen, although it is very difficult ...
It looks very nice.
Any way to do this without a dual-boot setup? I tried safe mode and the dll is still in use.

Unfortunately I think it's difficult to do this with Windows only 8 to edit.
You need at least another Operating System that is able to read NTFS partitions, or you must use the CD of Windows Vista / 7
I could think of to "take ownership" and the popular program "unlocker" but I think they can do little on 'OS to change.
Since we all have, I believe, the DVD of Windows 8 (CP or RP), I could find a way to use that. I have to do some small tests first.
Unfortunately the installation DVD of Windows 8 is different from that of Vista / 7 and has been removed according to navigate through files, I'll try and see
[edit]
Ok, I found a way to use the DVD of Windows 8.
In a little 'I'll do a article on my site of the guide and get better compared to the one linked, making it easier and more complete and adapting to the new method and the RP
Stay tuned
p.s. If there are criticisms and suggestions, tell me, so I can make a better guide for you

I do it all within windows 8. I don't think it is too difficult.
Here is what I do:
1. Swipe to the charm and go to settings -> change pc settings -> general -> advance start-up options.
2. Once you restart you'll see three metro-esq icons (continue, troubleshoot, turn off PC). Select troubleshoot -> advanced options -> start-up settings.
3. The computer will restart again and you'll get your various start-up options. Select #6. Safe mode with comand prompt.
4. At the cmd prompt take ownership of imageres.dll (takeown /f C:\windows\system32\imagres.dll
5. Restart and go into the system 32 folder on the PC and copy find the imageres.dll file.
6. Right click and change to the security tab and check the box for full control.
7. Copy the file to the desktop or where ever you want to work on it.
8. Change the file with resource hacker as described above to insert your images.
9. Go back to the advance reset options and reset back into safe mode with the cmd prompt. Copy the file from your desktop (or where ever) back to the system 32 folder. (copy c:\users\[user name]\desktop\imageres.dll c:\windows\system32)
You should get confirmation asking to overwrite the file and if the permissions were set correctly you'll get confirmation that the file was copied. When you reset the computer you'll see the new theme in the settings menu.
Good luck!
4. At the cmd prompt take ownership of imageres.dll (takeown /f C:\windows\system32\imagres.dll

I did not think that the "take ownership" really worked
I thought the file imageres.dll was blocked by Windows as a process and not just as a library-resource
good to know
Hey guys,
I made this this afternoon. I wanted something different from the rest that didn't steer too far away from the "norm" that didn't look tacky. gosh there are some really tacky wallpapers getting around.
Anyway I am not even sure any of you will even like this, I am not sure if I even like it yet .....it's growing on me I guess?

Hi to everyone,
I'd like to buy this device, now it's street priced at 500 euro but before I do that, I would like know if there's any way to get it into the Android platform.
As far as I read nobody speaked about that and for that I opened this thread.
What do you know about?
Cheers,
If you are thinking of trying Android like what have been tried on other devices (i.e. via SD card loading) there lies the first essential problem. There is no SD card on mobile side. Crack this and you probably can start on the Android issue.

Hi. I use a translator from Russian into English so that not worry.
I did so.
Download the Android x86 with http://android-x86.googlecode.com/files/eeepc-20090820.iso.
Install an image through unetbootion on USB stick. Start. Start the installation on the hard disk. Formatted for ext2. Rebooted. Yes, with the appearance of the boot to choose the first row, press the "e" (for her editing) and another "e". Append the following line to vga = 788. Press Enter. Then click "b" to boot. When you boot, you will need to press the button and select the video mode, I chose 8. And voila.
Camera works. Better than eeepc900. (It also tried to) the rest did not try it, they say you can start the WIFI, but I'm not good at Linux.
Maybe someone will try harder to establish all the drivers?
nice finding! but everyone is still wanting to replace windows mobile with android or other linux.

This seems to be an installation on the PC side of the Shift. I think the poster knows how to install full linux on the PC side. He is interested in Android on the snapvue side.

It would be great. I saw somewhere on the internet post installation Androida place for WM. If turn out otpishus. While hardly on the side of wm memory only 50 mb (if I'm not mistaken) and for Androida need more.
Yep and we don`t even have bootable kernel yet, unless Neutron83 has founded out something, as he was working with this. There is another topic about this..
This might be in another thread. I searched pretty extensively for an answer and can't find one. Is there an app or way to install exe files and run them on my Magic 32B? My phone is rooted and running Cyanogen's 4.2.5 I figured my phone does everything else, why shouldn't it be able to run exe files?
Sorry for the bump. I can access the exe file on my memory card with Linda File manager, but I don't know what the open the file with??? Linda File Manager gives me the option to > Open With... Any ideas?
Android cannot open Windows based files.......
WEAK!
One thing I have learned from xda is that if theres a will theres a way! Comon guys there has gotta be a way!

In theory you could port qemu or something and run it in that. But that would be so slow a turtle would think of itself as fast if it saw it

Agreed. I want to say someone got Wine to install in Android but could never get it to work right.

The idea is sweet and innocent but is much more complex...
The "exe" files are binaries. The .exe extension is something windows has as a standard for postfix, and is not necessary for running binaries (linux does not use any postfix and therefor also Android).
So what is a binary?
It's a list of machine instructions which the intended cpu understands. Every cpu has it's own instruction set ( a language). You need to make sure that the list of instructions you are running can be understood by the cpu. Inside this list you will find special instructions which is called "system calls". They are not intended for the cpu but for the operation system which you are running on.
So to sum up;
1) to run windows binaries on Android you need to change to instruction set of the binary because the cpu you have is not the same as those running on the Android device. E.g. x86 cpu on computer vs. ARM cpu on mobile devices vs. PIC micro-controllers. So the binary does not speak the same language as the cpu.
2) You need to change the system calls because Windows and Android does not have the same system calls.
So as a final sum up, it's not easy to make those binaries to run on Android, specially those which has a instructions list bigger than 20-30 instructions... They are just to complex and sometimes not even possible!
The WINE project is shot of doing the exact problem. It will run the binaries and translate them on the fly for the operating system. It succeed most times and fail others. But it's a HUGE project and need a normal computer power for it to run. The devices we have right now, does not have the horse power to run such projects.
I hope the info shades some lights on the problem :0)
NB: i know some of the info is not 100% but it's REALLY simplified to give the general idea and complexity of the problem :0)

Just in addition, most programs aren't just based on the .exe file. DLLs and other files are needed for the program to run, attempting to port all this stuff to Android would most probably result in failing.

I just hope Android is so popular that, like turning Windows into Linux using Wine (excuse the metaphor or whatever that was), someone might persist with this no doubt huge endeavour. I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to never run a Windows app in Windows ever again, nor kowtow to Apple's interface demands even though I'd like something as responsive, integrated and occasionally useful as an iSomething.
Android was my future salvation till my employer handed over a handy Win App recently that I can't really avoid using - well I could, but I'd have to work that much harder - fat chance! So I'm stuck with a Samsung XP netbook and WM6.5 on my HTC Touch HD until someone somewhere, or lots of someones everywhere, do a Wine for Android
Seriously, you want to pretend in some reality somewhere that someone will first create an x86 emulator for an arm chip that barely likes to play xvid files then on top of that use wine to run a mobile windows app rather than just use something similar or pay someone to write you something similar that runs natively on android?
Which do you think is the non-insane option?
you cant run it on android persay but you can download dosbox and run it that way sorry for the bump
work for now
For now install your exe app on a windows PC if you have one. And run something like team viewer. Won't look the best but you'll get basic function out of it.
Thanks for the suggestions (cellsafemode excepted! )
I ended up buying a couple of iPads and have installed VMWare View, ICAB HD and Slashtop/CamCam giving remote access to my Windows PC at home. Gets the job done - bit slower, but the small Windows-only app I need to run infrequently isn't a huge load on the hardware or the network. Saves carting a netbook around for just one small but important task, and I guess it's accomplishing much the same as the Android suggestions above. When my iPad enthusiasm wears off, I'll have an Android option

if your mobile does everything else then can you do multitasking just like people do in Nokia N9??
yes its possible ..
ohhh yaaa its possible to install .exe file on any android device ..
just follow these simple steps and you are done :
Step 1
Install a DOSBox app on your Android device. AnDOSBox, aDosBox and DosBox Turbo are three different DOSBox apps available from the Google Play store.
Step 2
Open the DOSBox app.
Step 3
Type "cd \foldername" into the command line, where "foldername" denotes the folder in which your EXE is contained. For example, if your EXE is in the Download folder, type "cd \download."
Step 4
Click Enter on your Android keyboard.
Step 5
Enter the name of the EXE file. You do not need to enter the .exe extension.
Step 6
Tap "Enter" on your Android keyboard.
Tip
The command-line interface is not case-sensitive.

I have an English Vista recovery on my Shift, but I don't know how I could copy it off, you could give me some information about it, I will take a look at it anyways tomorrow or so. If you could profide usefull information I could do it faster.
And.. Why do you want to recover the whole windows? I have done it once and I removed it directly and installed windows 7 on it. Its way faster, Everything works. And just a bit snappier and populair then Vista(alot of people were amazed by my shift, but when I said Vista was on, they were not amused xD).

I found out how I can dump the recovery, but there is not really a possibility for me to store the whole recovery, maybe I could split it and upload it to mediafire.
I have tried to follow the instructions, which was actually very simple, but when I enter the cmd line, press enter it doesn't return a reply or something with writing or anything, it just enters and the white dot stays there, I don't know if this is normal =/
This Part
This part? "dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/disk/shift-vista-recovery.bin bs=16384 skip=2244480" if so leave it for about 45 minutes if it hasn't finished by then and returned to prompt then somethings wrong :/ but check if the file is there.
Oh and make sure you're copying the correct parition.
Hey guys, I don't know if this is of any use for you, but I think it won't hurt to share it.
Based on some posts and ideas I read in different threads, I managed to write to the EFIESP and the PLATpartition of the stock rom of my HTC 8S. I changed the bootimages in the PLAT partition to a custom one,flashed the image and it worked. I'll attach a picture to prove it and if that's not enough, I will post a video.
So, the first step is to download the stock rom (obviously...) and extract the .exe file. (I use 7-ZIP) Then there is a file called "RUU_signed.nbh". If you open it with a Hex Viewer, like HxD, you can find multiple partition Headers. I found 4 that I can use, the rest is encrypted with what appears to be Bitlocker, hence the different headers. Now, what I did was mark the area of the first partition (starts approximately at offset 228BEF90 and is a FAT16 Partition) and continued the selection until the end of the file. Then I created a new one and pasted it. I ddid the same with the rest, always selecting and copying from where the partition starts until the end of the whole file and pasted it into a new one. Then I mounted the files using OSFMount and voilà, you can put stuff and files in there! If you finished, you just unmount the files. Then I opened each file again with HxD, selected EVERYTHING and pasted it
to the according area in the original RUU_signed.nbh. I started with the first one, then the second and so on, so you don't overwrite the changes you have made if you start in reverse order. After packing the file, I tried to flash it and to my surprise, IT WORKED! After rebooting I saw my custom bootimage! Downside of this is obviously that it requires you to use the stock firmware and it will be overwritten once you update your device. But I hope our skilled Devs here have some use for those 2 partitions. Theres 2 more that are usable, but I don't know their names, but you can still put files in them.
Now again, I don't know if this is of any use for you devs, but I still felt kind of obligated to share it
Stupid thing, I put my HTC 8S into Diag Mode and THEN flashed it, now it doesn't connect as MTP but as HTC Diagnostic Interface and I can't change it back because I can't deploy anything to the device. It works perfectly, boots and everything, but no USB Connection via MTP. So be very careful before flashing, since the mode is determined by a NV value which you can't edit afterwards.
This is not a tutorial to be followed by everyday users, but something ment for developers. You do everything at your own risk! And keep in mind that this has only been tested on an HTC 8S!
cheers, hutchinsane_
Yeah, I heard that it is possible, though I hadn't had a chance to test it on my 8X.
As for EFIESP: you can edit \efi\Microsoft\Boot\BCD to enable Kernel Debugger functionality and it is basically enough to hack the whole OS even with actions currently performed.
The most interesting partitions are MainOS (second to last), and Data (last one). Interop Unlock can be done in MainOS.
Thing is that newest ROMs are encrypted (not hard to crack but still)
Darn, hoped I was the first to come up with the idea. I do have acces to the file you're talking about. MainOS seems to be encrypted with Bitlocker since their headers start with -FVE-FS-. I could take a look into the 8X Rom aswell, I expect the situation to be the same. So is there a thread on the Kernel Debugger thing?
EDIT: I just did what you set, although I used a program called "Visual BCD Editor" since I don't know about editing the BCD Store just YET. Now I edited some values from "False" to "True" and for 1 second it showed me what appeared to be a windows boot selection. Now when I boot up, and once the "Windows Phone" blueish logo appears, it shows "Not for resale", meaning that we actually can edit BCD on this device!
Very nice Work
I run in Nokia Lumia 920 RM-821 APAC Malaysia Amber ROM
I find the same
Maybe we can edit Lumia 920 FFU and get first Custom ROM
that's enough to enable WinDbg operopability.
Code:
bcdedit /store F:\EFIESP\efi\Microsoft\Boot\BCD /dbgsettings usb targetname:woatarget
bcdedit /store F:\EFIESP\efi\Microsoft\Boot\BCD -set {default} debug on
bcdedit /store F:\EFIESP\efi\Microsoft\Boot\BCD -set {default} dbgtransport kdusb.dll
Sorry for my Question but how can we find that here is the end of a file in HxD .
I'm now looking for it to flash a Custom Rom on my Lumia 920 but I can't build images correctly using HxD and OSFMount.
Thanks .
@ngame Thanks If you look at your first 2 screenshots, you didn't select the "ë" You MUST select and copy it aswell, it's always the start of a partition, fot FAT aswell as for NTFS. After that, you should be able to mount. For finding the end, I didn't. I just Selected until the end of the file and pasted it back in. It should work, Afterall, my HTC has a "custom" rom aswell now, since there's a custom bootimage
@ultrashot Thanks! I used the commands and it worked succesfully. Waiting on the phone to flash now
EDIT: It doesn't boot once you set a) the target b) the type or something else. but enabling the kernel debugger itself works. Trying to figure out which value makes it unbootable.

Here is a list of partitions from my 928 .ffu but which ones are needed to edit? Just the FAT and NTFS partitions? Are any of the others of any interest?
As far as I know, you have to look for the specific headers, since some are encrypted with Bitlocker, therefor have the "-FVE-FS-" header. Easiest way is to use the search function of HxD and search for NTFS, FAT12 and FAT16 partitions Also, there are no stupid questons

:highfive: Here's a better list including the device layout and read and write partitions if it helps anyone. Also when mounting FAT16 or FAT12 partitions it says it needs to be formatted or is unsupported. What am I doing wrong???
Can you ost a screenshot of the file you use as a partition? I don't know if it even works with Nokia Roms. Which one are you using exactly? I might be able to have a look at it.

Don't try it on Lumias, as your phone will stuck in Quallcomm HS-USB QDLoader mode, like my L520 did

You tried this way ?
now you can't flash your Phone using Care Suite ?
did you try Reffbox or ATF to repair your Boot Loader and flash your phone again ?
Hey, Lumia owners, get out of here!
By the way, Huawei W1 has same access to partitions. You can join forces and develop one hack for both phones.

Not rom any more, I'm making tool can directly operate NTFS, so I can modify everything without losing any data. A hard work XD

Can't you publish it ? or Private send it to me ?
This tool can modify every NTFS Partition ?
@-W_O_L_F- They do? Didn't know that, thanks for the info! Yeah, might be a good idea, actually.
@reker how do you plan on doing this? adding the tool to the rom or deploying it as a xap? I actually need a way to use hidden pages without the toast launcher, or to include the toast launcher into the rom since I can't deploy it anymore

Hello People. This is basically a combination of batch scripts made by me to make WSL less daunting for people who do not want to do Powershell things and introduce MANY more people to Linux [and make existing dual boot Linux users just stick to Windows w/o the ugly GRUB].
Disclaimer: Only you know what you're doing. I have tested everything on me and my friend's PC and it seems to work fine. If your PC catches fire or starts an apocalypse it's not my fault. So yeah be careful about what you're doing.
Things the scripts can do:
1) Enable WSL 2 in any Windows 10 2004 computer. [NEW: Older versions of windows 10 are now supported.]
2) Download all the available distros with a couple key presses.
3) Automatically detects the downloaded distro and installs it without any user input.
Downloads are attached in the thread and instructions are given in the zip file.
How to know which zip to download (1 or 2) [Don't Skip]:
1) Go to the start menu.
2) Type "Run" and press enter
3) Then type there "winver" and press enter.
4) If you see 2004 there, ONLY THEN are you able to download the WSL-2 zip. Otherwise update your Windows or use the WSL-1 zip.
Note to self: Things to do in the future--
1) Make a GUI of sorts.
2) Anything else the people want.
Not going to force you or anything, but I would appreciate if you pressed the Thanks button after benefiting from my zip (I see 78 downloads but only 2 thanks...)

you're very welcome
Just have to. Say thanks had this opFeat installed since maybe it was first available in the list and never researched how. To. Use it or. What it really did. Just gotta find out if this will run fine on my surface too (anything except liveOS off usb will work and causes windows to eff up despite grub/4win/stock/grub if it works excites to use kali on there properly}

You're very welcome but I would be happy if the thanks button was pressed Also, it should work fine on any Windows 10 computer [remember I am using a Haswell computer and it still works]. I also have Kali working but it does not support Monitor Mode and Packet Injection just yet [Microsoft does not want to implement this feature due to security concerns]. You can also get a GUI up and running with ONLY kali using Win-Kex [look it up]
Our PC system has been attacked by a ransomewhere virus, called as .lisp file virus and our files has been encrypted to .lisp sub-extension. Any technical advice?
Thanks but any chance of getting clean links that don't require allowing JavaScript before i can access them ?
It's blocked by my browser security and even if i allow it ,the download link gets blocked by Eset.
Doesn't anyone vet the links that get posted in the forum here ?
There's no need for a download link to be like that.
