need a copy of registry from HTC MAgician, XDA COMPACT, MINI

I need a copy of registry.
You can make this in Resco File Explorer (free trial version) - tap the mail registry root and use Export to make a copy, any other Registry software, or directly from desktop PC in emVC or VS2005 tools.
please email me a copy
[email protected]
with additional information: country of purchasing, cellular network operator who distribute it, factory operating system or own upgrading (which version). manufacture model name.
I need it because I want to compare different versions of software pre-installed in this device. For example I know at least 4 different IA Camera versions.
Thanks in advance.

Please any one to know something about that tell me...
Thank's for your time.

Never ever ever use VS to edit resources! It screws up dialog templates and makes MUIs unusable.
The only good way to edit an MUI is Platform Builder. You can download a free evaluation version that will run for 180 days, but even with most options striped on installation it is still around 1GB.
Hope you have a good internet connection.

what version of Platform builder i need to edit mui files from WM 2003 ?
i see difrent version like: 5, 4.2 and other
but i dont know what chose

Ok i download and install the platform builder 5.0 but when i load the mui file after do my change's and go to save it he say me:
''Cannot save the file.
Cannot load a resource from the executable.''
So what i'm doing wrong??
Thank's adn sorry again....

I explained this in a PM, but just in case others are interested:
Possible causes are:
1) MUI was signed when you edited it.
2) MUI was extracted using WM5test tool by mamiac. (This tool is excellent for dumping ROMs for viewing but files can not be used on the device)
3) PB sometimes does that for no apparent reason (at least to me)
Get another DLL one that is not signed or dumped from device, delete any resources it has and put the resources from the MUI in it. Then save and rename.

Thank's for your help again Levenum but doesn't work.
I try tu build one new .dll but when i put one string (for test) after i try to save but give's me the same error.
''Cannot save the file.
Cannot load a resource from the executable.''
What else can i do ???
Please help me..
I try weeks now to edit five lines
Thank's and sorry...

Sorry, but now I am stomped. I never had PB fail to save a single string to a new 'clean' DLL.
Any chance there is some kind of access problem to the actual location where the file resides? Could it be 'read only' or under restricted permission?
This is really strange...

(Advanced) Transfering SMS Messages from Nokia to HTC P3300 (or any other WM5 device)

What do you need:
1. Windows XP + ActiveSync + Nokia PC Suite
2. DJ SMS Copier on your WM5 phone
3. PHP interpretator (for Windows or Linux)
4. A tiny php script to do it for you
Steps:
1. On your PC - Connect your Nokia phone & copy all messages from your phone via Nokia PC Suite to a local folder on your harddrive. It will create many files ending with extension .VMG - those are your SMS messages ofc.
2. On your phone - Run DJ SMS Copier and make an example export of your current SMS messages to your Storage Card (named MySMS for example). DJ SMS Copier will create directory named "MySMS.DJB.D" on your Storage Card.
3. Run the php script (preferably on Linux, never tested it on Windows) with param the directory where your Nokia messages are stored. (example "php -f db_sms /home/wm/SMS"). The script will create subdirectory "Out" (like "/home/wm/SMS/Out"). Those messages are converted ones, ready to be imported with DJ SMS Copier.
4. Use ActiveSync to browse your phone and make a subdirectory under "MySMS.DJB.D" (on Storage Card), name it "Imported" or w/e. Place the converted files there.
5. Use the Import button in DJ SMS Copier, select the "MySMS" backup and click "Yes" on cleanup dialog
There you have all your SMS messages on your WM5 phone
Notes:
1. The script error rate in convertion is like 2-3 per 100 messages
2. The messages receiving time is converted too. Tho it gives 2 hours difference for SMS messages sent/received more than 2 years ago

Posted it in wrong forum section. Sorry about it
Can you move it in Artemis main forum?
Thanks

Download the attached file from this post. The one in the original post is malfunctioning
The ZIP contains 2 files
db_sms.php -The php script
cont.txt - Your contacts. The syntax is "+some_phone_number|name_of_the_contact". The "|" sign is the delimiter
You can export your contacts with any tool (including MS Outlook) and fill the cont.txt file. The script reads it so it will recognize your contact names and fill them in the converted SMS messages. Without it you will have just plain phone numbers in the messages.

thanks for the howto!
i have a problem with my sms... i can´t find my own sms folders (nokia n73 with symbian) and with the pc suite i can only exprt to csv...
whats wrong?

Hi, i've tried with this script under windows xp with php 5.2.6 but no output folder is created in my sms folder, so i guess something is not working...
Any updates about this? I would appreciate a lot your help, since i've moved from nokia e65 to htc diamond and i don't want to loose some special sms...
Thanks!

[Q] enable device encryption and local wipe

hi
i want to know is there a way to active windows mobile 6.5 built-in device encryption (for encrypt my contact and message) and local wipe (to automatically wipe my device after for example 10 wrong password enter) without any registry editor or exchange server?
i find that i can do that with a .xml file and make a .cpf file from that xml file but i also find that i can't install a .cpf file to change important registry without a digital certification!

nobody doesn't use these features?
windows mobile have local device encryption and local wipe but nobody doesn't know how to enable?!
does anyone know how can make a registry and merge that in windows mobile registry? (not use a registry editor)

1) If you can USB-connect the device with your desktop, means can establish a so-called ActiveSync connection, then you can access device's Windows CE
2) If you know which file in SD-card's root is processed by the device when device boots, then you can access device's Windows CE

IMHO no need to re-flash device in oder to change/add a font, this because user-defined font files must not be located in ROM, but in a location defineable by user. You have to copy the font files to device (preferred internal storage device) and afterwards simply edit some keys/entries in Windows CE registry, means redirect fonts path there to.

1)when i connect the device to the USB it is recognized as a Polycom Phone and activesync does not recognize the a connected device at all
2) there is no SD card in the device
i dont have access to the device file system by any means, the device boots and start the default application and no way to exit the default phone applications.
