pick the color you want for example RS_Bar_blue.png and RS_Ind_blue.png and rename them to RS_Bar.png and RS_Ind.png then copy to \windows folder and allow to overwrite the original ones, I included in the zip file the original color just in case you want to go back to it.

Man, great work Poorlyduck, let me just give this thread a bump. I used the yellow random access along with the other yellow cube and htc home icons you provided, my mogul looks real nice! Thanks!

Poorlyduck,
Excellent tool. Hopefully will be appended to a ROM or 2 somewhere, with your permission.
Thanks for the excellent work.
WB

thank you guys for all comments.
@wacky.banana you definitly have my permission to use them anywhere you want, enjoy!

BEAUTIFUL!!
Among all HTC's shipped softwares, random access might be the most practical one. However, it's black-grey bar just doesn't see eye to eye to roms with non-htc-black&grey-interface. Your work just make everything perfect! thank you a lot!!

the green is poppin!

THANKS

gr. access is denied?

The Color Is .. Wow... What Can I Say~~~~~
THANK YOU

Access denied
I also get the access denied message, so probably the files are open.
However, besides Active Sync (which I cannot kill for some reason) there's nothing running. How can I overwrite the files?

you cant overwrite the file from the pc to your device if its protected, so you need to move it to storage card or somewhere beside windows folder, and use your device to move the file to windows folder.

I cannot get these to work at all. The files on my device are read-only and I cannot replace them from my PC or when I put the files on my storage card and try to copy them into the Windows folder. It gives me an error about memory and making sure the files aren't read-only or in use. Any ideas?

first make sure contacts (random access) is closed, leaving the app running will prevent you from changing the images. Then using resco explorer (or any other 3rd party file explorer) copy the files from teh storage card to the random access folder (typically this will be the \windows folder). If prompt with a warnign about overwriting ROM files, go ahead and ok the prompt.

That didn't work for me. I downloaded Resco File Explorer and copied the files from my storage card to the windows folder, overwrote the files and nothing changed.

I've had the same problem - tried the storage card, tried Rescoe - what else can I try?

welcome to my world! I can't seem to get random access working on my touch either....says it doesn't have perms to install....aggravating...

HELP!! Is there a way to DELETE files under 'windows' folder?

Thanks in advance!
I was trying to delete some wav file in windows folder. Because, these files exist in the list when I select the notification sound for reminder!

I searched the registry, device and the sd card. I found they are in the 'windows' folder...
But I cannot delete them...
I am using the Energy rom... I do not think it does exist in the rom before... Acturally, it appears after I installed some software....
Does anyone have a way to delete them? Thanks...

im using resco explorer which allows me to delete such files, im not familiar with total commander but there may be something in the settings which will allow you to delete those files....
you could download the free trial of resco and try that way....
hope that helps....

Thanks mate... I have Resco as well...it shows me
Any suggestion? I am pretty sure the ENERGY team did not put these useless wav file with meaningless name under windows folder... It s my fault... I install some software...but I cannot remember which one...

yeah I was wrong I cant delete them either...
it must be to do with the rom though....
il look into this when I get home and let you know if I get to the bottom of it....

Hey
i had a similar issue when trying to free up some space on my old tytn2
the files were ringtones (.wma) but in theory this should work with most files
give this a go: copy the offending file to any other folder (my docs, sd card...)
uncheck 'read only' in file property
copy back to windows folder - overwrite when asked/ warned
then you should be able to delete from windows folder.
(backup 1st, just in case)
hope this helps

Cheers man but that didnt work for me Im afraid.......
I listened to the files and they seem to be sound files for some sort of gps / navigation program.... Ive never installed any such program and as resco says they're in the rom memory it must be something to do with the energy rom........
Cant think of any way to delete them, They dont realy occupy much space its just a pain that they appear in the notification sounds menu......
Oh well...... Im stumped....

I would love to know to

if im not mistaken even if you do delete them they will get restored when you soft reset.
anyways rename the files instead of deleting them, soft reset and then delete the renamed files however as i said i think you will just have a fresh copy.

Thanks for the explanation! I tried to play them... Yeah...it is the navigation... I installed tomtom. I though it was tomtom before...
Thanks again... Do you have any idea about how to hide them from the alert selection menu???

I'm having this same problem. I don't want to delete the files, I just don't want them showing up in the drop down menu in Sounds & Notifications. Can't they just be moved to the Sound folder in App Data in the phone memory?

[REGKEY] Here Drive (+) maps download on SD card

To save memory space on the internal phone storage, the map download of Here Drive (+) can be switched to the SD Card with this registry key:
Location: Local Machine
Path: System\\Maps\\Storage
Key: UseExternalStorage
Type: DWord
Value: 1
I suggest to delete the existing maps in here drive before changing the registry value. When the value is set, here drive will only look in the SD Card for maps, so the old maps on the phone can't be deleted via here drive anymore. You can always toggle back to download the maps on the phone storage by setting the value back to 0.
Feel free to add the setting to the SAMWP8 Tools as a toggle button
Have fun!
Tom

oh, didn't know that. But it's not mentioned that this registry affects here drive's (+) map download, too. So maybe this thread is still helpful.

Well, the change affects all applications that use maps.
And I do not mean to imply that your information is not useful. Only that it had been mentioned before in another thread, if it should continue there because, effectively, you have expanded the information. :good:
And it is not necessary to clear the maps stored on the phone, only affects the memory space, but does not mean you can usually download the SD

To move the maps on the memory card you can use Lumia storage check beta. In aplication you have option for move the map from phone storage to SD card.
New in this version: - Map download location control – store your maps on SD card

Very good app, I use it myself.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Maps\Storage]
"UseExternalStorage"=dword:1
"UseSmallerCache"=dword:0
"ExternalStorageOverride"=dword:1

This can help to add radars to here drive for WP?¿

Frustrated...
Dear experts,
being a wp-fan almost right from beginning (starting with WP 6) I am really about to loose patience with MS. I installed the DP of WP10 ... and had to realise afterwards, that Lumia Storage Check Beta meanwhile has been removed from the app-store. Although I have the .XAP-file I can't install it to my mobile even though I run it in 'developer mode' which shoul allow for installing local apps without store check. I read from the thread that one registry key needs to be altered to force my lumia to store maps to SD. But: I have no clue what is necessary to do this (oh, I can hear the experts starting to mumble...).
Would you mind to give the newbie a hint how to proceed? Without having the chance to put my Here maps to SD my Lumias are almost worthless (at least as a mobile device). Unfortunately MS does not seem to realise what they have done... sad.
Thanks in advance!
Andrew

Finally this is not required anymore with latest Windows Phone 10 releases. This is now included as option on offline maps on system settings.

[HOW TO] Download files from the market store over 20MB via only 3G/4G without WiFi

Microsoft has established a limit on the size of downloaded files via 3G/4G transmission - we can downloaded only file to 20MB. I writed tutorial how to download files 20MB> from the market store and install them.
All operation, I show on one free game Throne Together (29MB).
1. We have to have:
- Pocket File Manager,
- device with supported microSD card,
2. We need link to the xap file, not only link to the market store.
Eg. link to the game is:
Code:
http://www.windowsphone.com/pl-pl/store/app/throne-together/3f89b6b3-516f-40e3-8937-4577d6911c8b
Link to the xap games is:
Code:
http://www.windowsphone.com/pl-pl/store/app/throne-together/3f89b6b3-516f-40e3-8937-4577d6911c8b[COLOR=Red][B]/xap?apptype=regular[/B][/COLOR]
The difference is only in the final text (red on the above). Copy link to the game.
3. Run Pocket File Manager and from the bottom beam on main page we select "Dowloads":
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. In next window, from the bottom beam we select "+" sign:
5. In next window, paste copied link to the market store and add at the end text: /xap?apptype=regular and confirm:
6. In next window we tap "play" sign on the bottom beam and downloading in progress:
7. Next, we have to find downloaded file in the location like on the screen:
8. Tap and hold finger on the file and from the context menu select copy or cut:
9. Now, paste copied file to the sd card location:
10. Now we go out from the Pocket File Manager and restart device.
11. After restart phone run market store and tap sd card. Copied file should there be in there. Select him and install, thats all.

Clever, if time-consuming, hack. Surprised you need the full reboot; it should be enough to just (re)launch the Store app, since users could copy XAPs to the SD card at any time over USB.
However, you may want to mention in the thread title the requirement of the SD card. The majority of WP8 models (not such how many actual phones, but most of the phone varieties) don't have an SD slot.
In any case, the place where this restriction is set seems to be analogous to where it was on WP7, so I'd like to create a homebrew app that will take care of it directly (by modifying the store config files). However, this will require an interop-unlocked phone, whereas your approach works on any phone with an SD card.

Yes of course, but without restart device we need long time to wait for show app on the sd card in the market store. Restart device shortens the time to wait. Microsoft wrote:
Note If you've just inserted the SD card or added the .XAP files, you might need to wait a few minutes before you can access your SD card from the Store.

Would be nice, but my L1520 haven't interop unlock and I don't know when it is unlocked
Anyway, for me that method it's good at this moment.
BTW for WP7.X to increase the download limit, we can change two xml file in the location:\My Documents\Zune\PimentoCache\Keepers:
These files is:
Downloaded_MOConfig.xml
LKG_MOConfig.xml
We have to find below string in them:
id=”MaxDownloadSize”>20
and change the value 20 to higher eg. 200

I was one of the people who found those files on WP7, and possibly the first to make use of them... believe me, I know. They're in a different location on WP8, I believe under EDMCache (I forget the exact path, though it's easy to find again). They *might* offer an easier option than external HTTPS proxies for installing apps from other stores.

I am aware of that
My method is a legal way to the download apps from the market store and we don't need using proxy servers, but if anybody find other and easier method to download file over 20MB eg. edit registry or system file, without interop unlock will be nice.

Nexus 6P USB access

Hi guys, on my previous phone (Xperia Z2) I can plug in to my computer via USB and copy files to/from the internal storage or SD card. When I plug my Nexus 6P in to the computer the same way, I just get an empty folder. I can't see all the files on the internal Android filesystem. Is this normal?
(I'm trying to copy some files into the /Android/data folder)

I've always been able to fix this by going to Developer Options (assuming you've set yourself up) under Settings, selecting "Select USB Configuration" and then toggling from MTP to PTP and then back to MTP.

I did enable file transfer. When I do I get the bing, bing, bing, sound in lowering tone, not in increasing tone. i.e. I get the sound when disconnecting a device. When I enable PTP I can access the DCIM and Pictures folder, but that is it. When I go back to MTP, i just get the disconnecting sound and my access I did have with PTP disappears. Any suggestions?

Lol - that can be fun.
Seems, for Windows anyway, the trick is getting the right driver to install, instead of what Windows likes to auto install.
That usually means uninstalling drivers, better yet, manually installing/updating the driver with the proper one.
You can Google the issue for more detailed info, way too much to go through here.
Good luck!
