Hey!
I want to put Total Commander into Start Menu (Start>>Total Commander), not into Start>>Programs>>Total Commander!
If i setup:
Code:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu"):-File("Total Commander.lnk","\Windows\cecmd.lnk")
in the initflashfiles.dat, after flashing onto device it moves to "Programs". Don't now why!
I know i could make it in Settings>>Menu.
But i want this Link at first boot
Although i want to remove the "Search"!
Hope u understand my Problem and bad english
Thanks Mapero
You exceeded the maximum file in the start menu.. try removing some items in start menu (i.e. Messaging or IE...)

Default behaviour of WM5 is to delete .cab files after you installed a program. It saves space on your device, but if you need to reinstall programs for any reason, you'll have to put the .cab file on your device again.
There is a registry entry that controls this behaviour:
Use Total Commander to navigate to HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete
Assign a value of 0 if you want to keep the original .cab after installation, assign a value of 1 if you want it to be removed after installation.
Perform a soft reset by holding the Power Button for 5 seconds and confirming.
If you chose to keep .cab files after their installation, it might be a good idea to keep them in a seperate folder on your Memory Card. That will keep them available for you even after a hard reset. Don't forget to change the registry setting after a hard reset thought, otherwise the .cab files will be wiped from your Memory Card after installation, which would put you right back where you started from.
if u like this trick of mine ...then please do reply....
Tried this using RegEdit. My default was set 2. I changed it to 0 then 1 and both times the app was deleted from my Card. I just use my PC as a backup source and an extra folder DWNLDSBK as the backup on my Card.
I don't understand why the RegEdit change did not work. Thanks for posting the info.
Cab files
Well, simply make the cab file as read only when copying to the device.
I genrally copy installation cabs to a seprerate folder on the mem card and install from there.
Works for me....
As many of you know, there are a few roms which do not allow some of use to use the n2a weather patch. For me it caused endless rebooting of my phone until i was forced to do a hard reset. I managed to find a way to get around it, so i thought i'd share it for any others in the same boat as me.
Okay, here's what i did, and i have a working HTC home w/ working weather:
1) Disable HTC Home from today screen
2) Unzip the attached file, then copy it to the windows directory
3) Soft Reset
4) Enabled HTC Home
No more constant restarting, and the weather updates correctly. Please let me know if this works for others.
**Edit**
If you cannot overwrite HTChome.dll, then use use totalcommander or some other file explorer and rename the existing one HTChome.old, and then copy the new file to the windows folder and soft reset, should work like a charm.
Update:
I have uploaded a new version of htchome.dll which should not cause you to lose the backlight shortcut in the launcher. Please test it out, and let me know if there are any new problems related to this file, as i am not having any myself.

another workaround:
Credit to Brynwall for the following updates/workarounds:
Can't copy file:
1. Create a folder in the main directory (call it what-you-will).
2. Copy your new HTCHome.dll file to that directory.
3.Go to the Windows folder and copy the HTCHome.dll.0409.mui file to your new folder.
4. Use a REGEDIT program and go to HKLM > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Today > Items > HTC Home
5. Change the location for the HTCHome.dll file to your new folder.
6. Done!!!!
Weather won't download via edge or 3g:
For those of you still having problems with the weather plug-in here is another thing I did to fix it:
1. Go to Settings - Connections - Connections - Advanced - Select Networks - Edit (MEdia Net) - Proxy Settings -> UNCHECK BOTH OPTIONS
2. Soft Reset
It should work fine
Adding Cities to Custom Database
To create a customized database of cities use HTC Home Customizer, which can be downloaded from many locations on this site, or from my 4shared folder. Perform the following steps:
1) Make sure you have copied the patched htchome.dll file as instructed in the first post.
2) I am not sure it's necessary, but i usually disable the HTC Home plugin when making the changes.
3) Open HTC Home and navigate to the weather tab.
4) From the drop-down menu entitled "database type" select "custom"
5) Click "Enter New City" and then enter the relevant data for your city.
6) Click "Save City to Custom Database"
7) Repeat steps 4 & 5 for as many cities as you would like to add.
8) Click and "save" and then enable the HTC Home Plugin again.
9) Your weather tab should now display your customized list of cities.
If the above steps don't work, then try the steps provided below:

Here is a method to get HTC Home Customizer and the HTCHome.dll to play nicely together on an AT&T Tilt running stock 6.1 with no bloatware installed. You must to a hard reset to get this to work so the appropriate back up warnings apply!
This method is courtesy of tbraun on the AT&T forum.
You will need:
a. tcmdpocketarm (attached below)
b. HHCv10b5 (attached below)
c. HTCHome.dll (attached below).
Here's the steps:
Install all programs to the device using File Explorer to find and click on the cabs.
1. Do a Hard Reset and use appropriate techniques to ensure the AT&T bloatware was not installed.
2. Install TCM Total Commander (You can use any other program that will let you edit/move .dll files and install it here.)
3. Soft Reset
4. Install HTC Home Customizer 10b5 (Do not use 1.0 Final!)
5. Soft Reset
6. Used TCM Total Commander (Or what ever program you installed.) to rename HTCHome.dll to HTCHome.old in the Windows directory on the phone.
7. Used TCM Total Commander (Or what ever program you installed.) to move HTCHome .dll from your storage card to the Windows directory.
8. Soft reset the phone. (I had to do this twice. The first time HTC Home did not load. On the second soft reset the phone asked me if I wanted to install HTCHome.dll and I said yes. and HTC Home loaded.)
At this point, you should be able to both use HHC to edit appearance and customize weather following the steps above.
Again, major thanks to tbraun on the AT&T forum for coming up with the basic method. The hard reset is required because the AT&T 6.1 ROM version of HTC Home seems to need these items installed in this order to work. I'd tried various other orders and this one without a hard reset and HTC Home Customizer would only do one thing, or the other, appearances or weather.
how can I load this file if my phone keeps rebooting even with a soft reset?
I have a window of 5 seconds to load the file before it reboots but it wont let me copy the file. Access denied. Probably in use? Any other ideas?

Sorry, it was a typo, i had to do a hard reset. Then i did these steps after my device was setup again. Just do not run the cab file that causes the constant rebooting problem.
have a window of 5 seconds to load the file before it reboots but it wont let me copy the file. Access denied. Probably in use? HTC HOME is disabled in Today screen. Any other ideas?

Did you perform a hard reset? Once you are in the constant reboot cycle you will have to perform a hard reset so that you phone will load normally. Then you can disable htc home, and then copy the file into the windows directory. You will have to overwrite the one that is there already. Do not install the cab file fix that was causing the rebooting problem. If this isn't addressing your issues then maybe i'm not understanding you. Please explain in more detail and i'll see if i can help.
Performed hard rest. Unable to overwrite existing HTCHOME.dll file. HTC home plugin is disabled and does not appear on the today screen.
thanks for the help skatdawg

did you check to see if the file is read-only? I'm downloading it, i'll give it a whirl see if i can't get it to work. Any reason you're using that particular rom?
I did and I noticed it was set to read-only. How can I change this? Is there a program like total commander that will allow this?

Yes. Total commander should overwrite it. Here's a link.

*sigh* of relief. Thanks skatdawg & P1Tater. That did it. Thought I bricked it for a sec.
1. disable HTChome plug-in from today screen
2. remove read-only from HTChome.dll using resco explorer or total commander
3. copied new HTChome.dll from storage card or any other folder and copy->move to and overwrite in /Windows using resco or total commander.
No more rebooting and Local weather works. YAY!

dont thank me bro. skat come up with all of this. i just provided a cab to overwrite windows files
OK. I have selected my city from the list that came with the HTC Weather but after few days it locks on the "Attemping to download data".
Am I having the same issue or I´m having a different problem (I'm using an city that was in the original HTC list). Since I' m not using a custom city will this DLL solve my problem too?
Thanks

I think it should, but nobody in your situation has tried it yet. If you're up to it you could give it a try and let us know. To my knowledge all this does is change the server it's pulling the information from...at least that is my understanding.
Anyone have a solution to the Brightness Application not working anymore?

After flashing the same ROM and making the same adjustments to the HTC Weather plugin my phone now locks up completely on boot and the only way I can get it to not reset is to pull the SIM card - and then I can't connect through ActiveSync- I do plan on reviewing the forums as soon as I can but if anyone has suggestions on how to correct I would appreciate -
Thanks.
Do any of you know how to overwrite the gif image myinfo.192.gif it is saved in local\windows dir.. i get an error message when trying to delete or replace.
I wish to customise this startup page with my own image. Or, has anyone ever thought of customising this page with any add-on's?
What i would like is to use the S2U2 slider on this page as opposed to tapping the screen. But i imagine this would be a difficult task... or maybe not???
Please what are your thoughts?
When and where do you see this image?
Try to copy your edited file to a folder somewhere on the phone ... then use Total Commander (on the phone) to copy it to the windows folder...
It’s a hidden file and the attribute also shows it's in ROM. I have already tried to copy to the windows folder with GSFinder but to no avail.
I will give total commander a try, thank you.
EDIT!!!
WoW great stuff Total Commander Worked! I would still like to edit this My Info Page with add-on's, so if any thoughts on this they will be greatly appreciated. There must be some way to add some controls of some type slide to unlock etc?
Thanks

Hello
How can I delete files in the "windows" directory?
Those files that I want to delete are not important or anything so I want to delete them.
I mean those "Album_Sample" pictures and one .3gp video.
In Files Explorer on my Diamond I cant delete them and when I connect my diamond to my PC and I try to do it this way it says that I dont have a permission to do it. Please help me how to do this.
Thanks
Sorry for my english...
Total Commander will let you do it:
http://www.ghisler.com/download.htm
Note: you'll have to go to File -> Properties to remove the Read Only and/or System File properties from the files you want to delete before you can delete them.
Also, I find TC easier to use with a full keyboard, and I use My Mobiler to access my system when altering the registry/Windows files:
http://www.mymobiler.com/
Good luck!

These files are probably in the ROM, so you can't delete them. You could overwrite them but this doesn't save any space because the originals are always kept.
You need to cook another ROM without them.
As already mentioned, those files are probably in ROM (and thus not something you can delete) BUT in the off-chance they are not, you can do the following to delete trouble-some or "locked" files:
1. Install Resco Explorer
2. Delete the suspect files (they will be moved to "Recycle Bin")
3. Restart your device
4. In Resco Explorer, empty the Recycle Bin
Ta-Da -- files gone.
Again, if they are in ROM, this won't work.

why not learn to cook ur own ROM? at ur own risk of cos... my own ROM gives me a total of 107mb of program memory and total of 123.3mb of storage memory.. plenty of space and so much less lag...
we used to say that lagging and hanging is one of the feature for WM devices.. but that's in the past now.. now i'm only trying to figure out if it is possible to partition it so that i can put more space to program memory from the storage...
Good luck..
Hi!
I've recently bought an HTC windows mobile, so I'm still trying to figure it out. So sorry if I'm asking a n00b-question
But anyways, I'm trying to make a .lnk-file that links to Total Commander (which is placed in \Program Files\Total Commander\)
Can anyone either make one for me and upload it, OR write here what I should put in the .lnk-file. I'd be very grateful!
Run TC, go to \program files\total commander, select cecmd.exe, then tap file -> >>>>> -> create shortcut, select this shortcut, tap file -> copy/move, write \windows\menu start\programs in the textbox, tap move.
Edit: It should be \windows\start menu\programs if you have english system
Oh, didn't think it was that simple. I thought you had to write it manually!
Thanks for the quick answer!
