RE: Extra Storage
Another method I used.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Alpine/Extra Storage unlocker
Copy the exe in the zip file to your Alpine, then tap to run on pda. It doesn't show a finished message.
I use 'resco explorer', with show hidden etc in the settings, I haven't tried to vew with only the standard file explorer, it may work as well.
Goto Windows on your pda and you should see a folder called 'shared' it should show 60.9mb free. If you do use Resco Explorer and hold your stylus on the shared folders and select properties, you can change all the attributes (Hidden, Archive, Read, Write and ROM), although I haven't needed to. :lol:
Correct Link for above
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Alpine/Extra Storage unlocker
Hello
I'm be happy that a way seems to be real, but it do not work on my 2020I.
I select unlock Extrom, but the Extrom is no visible, so i select Unhide and it say to me to do soft reset. After it, i don't see any Extrom. Only way is to use original LoadVisk, but it is writeProtected.
Where i am in fault ?
Thank's
QTEK 2020I ROM 1.124 French
I used the Loadvisk on my XDAIIi and I can write to it etc (Shared folder in windows).
Use Resco file explorer to change the shared folder attributes. Make sure you configure Resco to show hidden files etc.
Heres the link
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp
Loadvisk
Here is Loadvisk program I used on XDAIIi, it may help
Confused loadvisk does not access ext rom?????
I'm confused about loadvisk. I thought it unlocked the ext ROM, but no it only gives access to your RAM not to extended rom.
I tried the other tool on here unhide, unlocked, where do I access the rom in my file explorer?
so please ignore my previous posts about loadvisk.
How can I reverse loadvisk to hide the shared folder again?
sorry if this is a bit jumbled, I'm just finding out about this stuff myself
Thank's for reply
But it do not work.
If i use loadvdisk_493.exe, it show Extended_Rom as entry, that is the same result as LoadVdisk.exe that exist in Windows directory. I can't modify files inside Extended_Rom and it as this name, not Shared folder. It is not a folder but new media and with resco 5.22 i can't change attributes because it do not permit to media, only with files or folder.
Secondly, if i use Exttrom_200_250.exe, i can't write to in Extended_Rom.
Is this write for you ??

RE: EXT Memory
Hi,
Loadvisk has nothing to do with extended memory, it creates a virtual disk of your Program RAM (see 'Memory' on you PDA). This shows as a folder called 'shared' in Windows, when you copy files to this folder, the look at your memory, you will see that it stores in your program section of your memory and so I wouldn't bother with it.
I have had a good look around and I can find nothing to unlock the true extended memory, only the tool you used to unhide it.
You can flash your extended memory with the 2577 method, but this is not ideal for users who just wnat to access and write to ext memory.
Full details link below
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/PDAforum_posts.asp?TID=373&PN=1
There is another method to write to the extended rom but is far more involved than the method DAz mentioned. It does actually write to the Extended ROM so it therefore survives a hard reset and allows you customise the ROM with programs and remove stuff you don't use like the bloody annoying O2 active crap.
I've used it and can say that with a little patience it is fairly easy to do, although trial and error is required sometimes. Some programs don't seem to install from a hard reset however most do (Pocket Plus, Resco Explorer, TCPMP etc work fine).
Here's the link:

Today I had some talks with Risidoro and Asukal about changing languages on Roms without upgrading to a whole new Rom.
Risidoro introduced me to Asukal after a question from me about Rom Cooking.
After some talking with Asukal about his "UI Language Switch Program" for Universal he gave me some files that I tested a few times.
Right now I am running a fully stable Mr. Clean 2.24a AKU2.3 Rom with dutch language, so for all dutch folks, here you go...
UPDATE: Right now I am running the latest 2.26 T-Mobile Rom, without problems!
[EDIT FRIDAY, 28th JULI]:
FINAL INSTRUCTIONS (for now....)
Definitive instructions to change the English Mr. Clean 2.24a AKU2.3 Rom into the Dutch language
- Install the Mr. Clean Rom
- Install these 5 files, I installed everything to the Main Memory, I advice you all to do the same!
1) Wizard_AKU2_NLD_mui_Tool.cab
2) NLD_Notifications_WIZ.cab
3) NLD_Today_113.cab
4) DUT_SMS.cab
5) NLD_Registry_Changes.cab
- Soft-reset your Wizard by turning it off and on (not with the Soft-Reset button!)
- Run through the (Dutch) Welcome Screen for screen alignment etc.
- Go to Settings -> Regional Settings (Instellingen -> Landinstellingen) and set it to Nederlands
- Delete the file \Windows\initobj.dat and rename \Windows\welcome.lnk to something like welcome.bak.lnk
- Delete the folder "\Program Files"
- Delete the folder "\Windows\Fonts"
- Delete the folder "\Windows\Favorites"
- Delete the folder "\Windows\Programs"
- Delete the folder "\Windows\Start Menu"
- Delete the folder "\Windows\Start Up"
- Delete the folder "\Windows\PDFfonts" (optional, but I did it to get 2MB extra free space because I don't use ClearVue PDF!)
- Remove all English folders in \My Documents (EXCEPT THE TEMPLATES FOLDER, in this folder the Camera Templates will be stored!)
So you can delete the Camera Templates from \My documents\Sjablonen
- Soft-reset your Wizard by turning it off and on (not with the Soft-Reset button!)
- Run these 2 files (located in this thread, somewhere below on the 1st page)
1) MP-Shorcut-MMS1-Voice-CV-TMUS-060404.CAB
2) NLD_MMS_FOLDER.CAB
- Done!
Regards,
Molski
Realy nice!
Gonna try it and will let you know if I have the same issue
Wondering though.. ..Wil this also work on the AKU2.5 that is being developed here at the moment?
Not good, i cannot remove or rename welcome.lnk.......
Any suggestions, tried total comander and the windows explorer...
edit: Solved the problem on my own: First with total commander tap'nhold --> properties and disable the read only checkbox.
then goto shortcut tab and edit this to something....
then it is possible te rename..
Yeah not beautiful... but it works so what the heck....

It will work on AKU2.5 after some development from Asukal and some testing from me, offcourse when I got it working, you all will get it working
My litle contribution to this fantastic idea
For the Dutch T9 follow the next steps:
In the attachment are three files:
1 - dictprob.dat
2 - statdict.dat
3 - mssp2_nl.lex
Copy them to the \Windows dir and replace existing files.
Then make the following changes to the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Spell Check]
"Main_Dict"="\Windows\mssp2_nl.lex"
Restart your device and it should work like a charm
[edit]
The following location was not in my registry:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IA Style\IA CameraWizard(Pocket PC)\3.00\"
Second, I’m not able to rename or delete the Welcom.lnk
I’m using TotalCommander, and my device is decertified. When I change the properties or rename the file it looks like everything goes well. But when I refresh the file is still there.
[/edit]
Great contribution!!
The following location:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IA Style\IA CameraWizard(Pocket PC)\3.00\"
has to be:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IA Style\IA CameraWizard(Pocket PC)\3.00\Strings"
I'm almost ready with the CAB file that takes care of these registry changes, including the T9 stuff.

Uncheck the read-only for this file and then go to the properties and remove the entry, OR rename the file like I did to something as welcome.bak.lnk
Here it is, the CAB file with the registry changes, with the files for T9 including one extra file (autocorrect.txt) from a dutch Rom, for (I guess) spellchecking.
I installed the file on my device and got no problems, I don't wanna say it is 100% correct, but I really guess it is, so were heading for 5 final files for installing Dutch Language on EVERY Non dutch Rom
By the way...don't forget to delete the old English subfolders of My Documents guys
I love it to be Dutch
Looks great!
I don't mind that the welcome.lnk stays. It only lets you run the welcome screen once, in Dutch. After that it doesn't show up anymore.
I followed the instructions about the ReadOnly settings, but like I said it looks like it changes the name of the file. But after a refresh it's back again
Glad to be of some help concerning the Dutch spelling
I updated my NLD_Registry_Changes.CAB file.
Because the Camera has some problems, although I change the "Frames" string, every time you select a picture template the setting is resetted.
So the solution is to delete every English subfolder of My Documents EXCEPT for Templates (!!), but on the other hand, it's not a bad idea to have al the camera templates in a seperate directory
Where is the update cab file? is it the one posted above?

Yes, but please read the 1st again, I updated the post with final instructions (for now....)
I also tested this language Pack on the new T-Mobile 2.26 Rom and I can confirm it's also working on the new Rom.
My advice for now is, don't use the Mr. Clean Rom anymore, but the new T-Mobile 2.26 Rom and don't install the Extended Rom to keep it as clean as possible (or manually select what you want to install).
Hmmm... ..just came to tell you that I also run the latest T-Mobile ROM in Dutch now. No problems so far! 8)
I really find it very cool that we don't have to wait anymore for Roms in dutch!
We just grab the latest WWE Roms and turn it into Dutch, no problem
The Mr. Clean Rom was cool to test with, but I'm happy with the 2.26 Rom.
are there any other languages?
Nope, not explictit for the Wizard, only for Universal.
These packages that I am using now were custom created by Asukal especially for the Wizard!
is it possible to do the same thing for french ?
@Molski
I think you can also remove "\Windows\Favorites" Because there is a directory called "Favorieten" for the Dutch users

first if your manila is cooked in your original files will be there on the device if you delete the modified file, but if you want copy all files in windows with manila ext. to a folder on pc to back up. Next, just go to the original file you modded using manila editor and choose to replace it, choose directory your modded image is in and replace. beware though some images in sprint and att tf3d are a little tricky.
do you knwo which manila file is the the email background?

Going through some posts in the blackstone forum I discovered an interesting thread by Sir.B...
He talked about an old trick used for older devices to fit WM6 onto them with the side effect that load times of applications is much faster and tried this on his Blackstone.
I just gave it a try and it's impressive. So far I only tried it on HTC Album and Navigon Mobile Navigator 7:
HTC Album now loads in about 1 sec (previously about 4-5 sec)
Navigon MN 7 loads in about 2 sec (previously about 6-9 sec)
Seems to work flawless on any WM Device ;-)
I'm loving it!!!
Many thanks to Sir.B and everyone else at XDA-DEV!
I attached version 1.1 (which worked fine for me); 1.0 can be found on the original post.
Here's the quote and the link to the original post...

HTCAlbum loads in about 1 Second, before it took about 4
so i'm sharing this with anyone who is interested
The batch file is kept as simple as possible for everyone's ease of use

I compressed with the above methode 105 .exe files of the windows folder (of a htc diamond). I compressed every exe file that i found in windows. I deleted all that had 0 kb file size as probably those files does not compressed corectly or something is wrong. So the exe files that left, was 105 exe files. I puted all those to windows folder ,overwriting the originals . I saved 15 Mb or more of space, the phone was extremely fast ,but cant run manila. I try to find which of the files must changed to the originals to run manila. I am sure it must be 2 or 3 files , but how can i find which 2-3 of the 105 files must be changed?
If i make it , i will give the full list of files that can be changed to earn max space and max speed
I compressed 104 files of windows folder without problem!
So i found the file that caused problem and manila didn't start. It was _mpman.exe By changing all the 104 others , no problem until now. I giving all the list with the 104 files of window folder of a diamond running manila 2.0.3 if anyone else want to try. Here is the list :

This works really well on my Verizon TP, but when I did it on all the .exe's in the Windows directory, it messed up the HTC volume control program. I'm not sure which .exe it was but afterwards, when I hit the volume up/down hard keys, only the Windows volume pop-up would come up. I've had to do a hard reset to get it back.
I agree that a list of .exe's that it works well on would be really helpful.
My 2 cents
Hi, I think it's a bit useless to do all exe files: If you compress a 16 Kb exe file to 12 Kb the loading time will not make a huge difference. Also, after two or three reads from the storage memory the program should actually be cached in memory assuming that you have made the cache performance tweaks. Furthermore this seems only sensible for exes that you use often; why would you want to do "ClearStorage.exe" which basically does the hard-reset from the control panel?
The big performance gain and space safe comes from large exe files that are cut to about 1/3 in size. Here it does make a huge difference. I am currently trying and running:
Opera9.exe and OperaL.exe << Edited after comments of PierreDiamond which is very right to leave the Pre alone.
Googlemaps.exe
HTCAlbum.exe
Camera.exe
HTC_GPStool.exe
TomTomNavigator.exe
ScummVM*.exe
The biggest effects were seen with Opera (6MB), Tomtom (7MB) and ScummVM (4.5 MB)(!!! : -) ). For Camera.exe and HTC_Album.exe I am not 100% confident that I am going to keep these. The speed gain is very little, and it does seem to affect the Manilla stability a little bit when more stuff is running. However I am not sure whether this is fully related to compressing the programs. So for now I am still trying.
Another thing I noticed is that it does not like exe programs which are still linking to outside files / sources such as 3.5 Net. An example of this is the Lightsaber program (Saber.exe).
I tried with some prog (MP3Trimmer, Powerpoint, Opera, Acrobat Reader)
Works great! But NOT for Opera! Because there's a OperaPre which launch Opera after SoftReset while Boot... and it seems to be, that the driver for decompress needs much time to load and needs additional RAM when its needed while boot. I had a CPU consumption around 6 % more.
Also - never pack something which is started automatically after soft reset. The other programms like Acrobat Reader or Powerpoint - everthing's fine and are really a little bit faster to start and less need in main storage.
Thanks for this Tweak

Why did you do a hard reset? Squeezer makes a backup of the original file in the folder "2_Backup". Therefore you could just copy those back to the device.
maybe I better ask this question here:
i tried this method and copied the file in to the windows folter with total commander - over active-sync I could not overwrite the files. But now even less space is available..
aand.. when i copied all the files it asked me only about 5 times if i wanted to overwrite this file... so my explanation is that these are files which are stored in the rom.. so they got not overwritten but only doubled...
is this possible? and what can I do about it?
=> the problem is of course the data-memory and not the programm-memory
=> it really seems that the files are doubled...
the part of compressing exe at the PC gone well but i can't copy/paste the compressed exe back at touch pro , original files place is windows...i think this folder is a ROM folder...help.....please...

It should work with Total Commander. The files should not be doubled, but overwritten. Therefore overall storage (data memory) should decrease.
If I'm not mistaken (please correct me If I am) ROM storage for extended ROM etc. and data memory (flash chip) / programm memory (RAM) is separated. (?)
you can copy the apps with activesync but if you wanna put them back into the windows folder then your going to need totalcommander
I did copy it with total commander.. and it only overwrote about 5 exe files.. the others where doubled (I tested it - I deleted one of the exe files... and when the list reloaded the file was there again - but there was no error)..
do I have to use special settings in total commander?
Any chance to improve the tool so it has a list of known-NOT-to-work-after-compression EXEs?
It would be more foolproof as it would skip the problematic files automatically.
Edit: actually I might do it myself, I know how I can code this.
That would be a great addition!

Edit: actually I might do it myself, I know how I can code this.

yes please, when you are done
share with everyone this great addition
it would be a great help for many people
but who is going to maintain that list across so many ROMs and versions?

I did copy it with total commander.. and it only overwrote about 5 exe files.. the others where doubled (I tested it - I deleted one of the exe files... and when the list reloaded the file was there again - but there was no error)..
do I have to use special settings in total commander?

Same here. I've actually lost some space, after copying the compressed .exe files to Windows dir using Total Commander. The file sizes of new files are correct and smaller than before...
It seems like it keeps backup copies of the replaced files somewhere?
Hi,
I used ROM Extractor to transfer a copy of shellres.192.dll onto my PC. Then I used PE Explorer (claims this can read and modify windows mobile EXEs and DLLs, unlike Resource Hacker) to hack 2 windows mobile explorer folder icons. The icons that I replaced met the same image dimensions and bit depth as the originals so no problem there. However, after saving the file again and overwriting shellres.192.dll in my Windows folder, I came across a problem: The icons were changed sucessfully upon loading windows explorer, but my start menu button and some of the icons were missing from the top in my homescreen I don't understand it because I didn't modify anything apart from the folder icons. Maybe PE EXplorer has stripped some data from the original? If so, any ideas on how to fix this problem because I really wanted the XP looking folders on my device instead of the rubbish windows mobile ones. Has anybody had any success in changing their windows mobile icons without affecting any other icons in their phone. I had to restore a backup of my device using SPB Backup after this happened.
Please help!
Cheers
Hi, tozzy,
replacing the icons in shellres.192.dll shouldn't be a problem. I think you did it in the right way. One question for better understanding: have you re-signed the hacked DLL with MSigner? This could cause your issues.

Hi SeCo, many thanks for your quick reply! Oh I didn't know it had to be signed, I see now. Would you mind uploading MSigner here to this thread? if you have it as 4shared site isn't working for me . Thanks!
...here you go.
After ending the signing-process the signer will create a text-file with "...but not timestamped. Succeed." If you see this - all is ok.
You can delete the text-file and put the signed dll on your device. Best way: put it into the root of the storage card, rename the original dll (windows-folder) into "...dll.bak", copy the new dll into the windows-folder (using TotalCommander), perform a soft-reset and after this you may delete the "...dll.bak). Enjoy.
Hope it helps -
Ciao
SeCo
btw. - we should talk about the whole truth
There are three steps:
1. Unsign the dll (using unsigner.exe, see attachment)
2. Replace the icons (using ResHacker.exe, as you did)
3. Sign the dll (using MSigner.exe, like I described before)
and after the three steps: enjoy...
Hi SeCo, thanks very much matey that's great . Will check this out later.
