I'm trying to change the sound WM uses for the pop-up dialogue (for instance, you install a program and a dialogue pops up and says you have to restart... that sound). I've gone through every option available in Settings/Sounds & Notifications, but there's no entry for it. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

This is what I did (altho the results of the following steps are entirely YOUR responsibility):
1. MAKE BACKUPS! From Activesync, "Explore" the phone. i.e. in a Windows Explorer window.
2. Dbl-click "My Windows Mobile Device". Dbl click the "Window" subdirectory.
3. Sort by filetype.
4. Navigate to where ".wav" files are.
5. Select all the ".wav" files and copy them all en masse to a separate directory on your PC. (all the hidden system wav files should also have been copied in the process).
6. play all the wav files until you find the one that irritated you the first time.
7. open a registry editor of your choice on your WM device. (I use SKTools)
8. search for the file name from step 6.
9. Try the full name plus extension first. If no result, then try the name without the extension.
10. Replace instances of the filename with the wav filename of your choice (I assume you have one). If there was an extension in the first place, include the extension as well.
The outcome of all the above is your responsibility. The steps worked for me, and if you are familiar with how to edit WM registry items, the steps should work for you as well.
good luck.
Thanks for the reply skenobi. Reading your response, it occured to me that once I find the wav files WM is using, I could probably just replace the sound I don't like with a renamed copy of the one I do (i.e., replace Alarm2 with a copy of Alarm4, renamed to Alarm2). I think I'll try this out first, before I buy a registry editor.
Thanks again!

That might work, altho (if I'm not mistaken) some wav files are in ROM, i.e. you can't rename/replace it.
Your mileage may vary, as they say.
Good luck.

Hi, can anyone tell me how to remove smartdial from the tuma 1.3 rom, it's slowing down my dialing speed and it is really annoying when I have to dial a long number. Thanks much for anyhelp. and oh yeah, I can't seem to remove the file that's reponsible for the graphics of the soft keyboard, it says it's in rom or something like that, I wouldn't mind it so much except it doesn't have a graphic for the letter d.

Attached is a revised .dll with the bit map corrected. You will need to:
1. Unpack the attached rar
2. rename the "msim.96.dll.0409.mui" in the windows folder to something else like "msim.96.dll.0409.old".
3. copy the attached file to the windows folder
4. then reboot
Hope this helps.
Hi, the problem is that the file msim.96.dll.0409.mui cannot be deleted. When renaming it a new file is created but the old file is still there. It can't be overwritten either. This is very frustrating... lol

I've used Resco file explorer, it complains that it can't delete the rom version but it renames the ram version of the file anyway. You can then copy the new file to ram.

Yeah I used resco file explorer too, the included windows one doesn't even have a rename option. However when I finished renaming it, a popup windows says, can't delte file, and a new one is created. Where did you find the ram version of the file?
Lets try a more automated method.
Execute the attached cab file and then do a reboot.
Cool, it's working now, thanks for the program
I used a registry tweak to disable the default AT&T dialer and now I want to change out the images. I am having a problem copying clg_in.gif, clg_miss.gif, clg_out, and spd_lst.gif into the \windows directory. I keep getting an access denied error message. I have turned off the phone and did a soft reset, but that didn't make any difference.
I have attempted to replace the files using my desktop computer and File Explorer.
Does anyone have a solution so I can copy over the four new files?
Thank you.
resco explorer allows you to force the copy.
Thank you.

I downloaded Resco File Explorer and installed it. I copied the four images to \windows and after confirming the files copied. I can see the correct images in \windows. I did a soft reset but the old images are still showing. I verified that the new images are in \windows. Why are the old images (AT&T crap) still showing?

its probably a cache issue, such as if u put a picture on a contact, then delete the picture, the picture is still on the contact.
but, i dont know how to do what you are asking.
You can just flash the rom im sure there are more customizable friendly roms out there.
I have tried using several registry apps to successfully export [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher] belonging to a previous Hutch 3 ROM.
I now want to re import these keys into my newly installed Duttys 6.1.
How do I do this?
Scuse the newb question (duck for cover) but on a PC you tap the *.reg and it will import into the registry. On my Kaiser running Duttys 6.1 I have PHM_Regedit but Import option is greyed out.
A search did not resolve it so any help would be appreciated.

Install FdcSoft's Taskmanager (it has a built in Regedit), by DotFred. In there you can associate .reg files with it. Then just run them to import.
Great I'll grab it. Thanks Dave I really appreciate the help. I know you all get sick to death of our newb questions.

Dont worry. I spent 10 minutes trying to use PHM before I gave up.
Dot Fred's TaskManager is a kick ass task manager as well as a reg editor (amongst other stuff).
P.S. Easiest way to associate is: Open TaskMgr, tools, options, Create RegEit Shortcut. This will ask do you want to associate.
Cool I can see how to do all that now thanx.
Only hiccup is I can only run it from my Storage card. I cannot work out how to copy it to my \Windows folder. I cannot work out how to delete the existing basic taskmgr.exe that installed with Dutty's. I guess this is because it is a system file. If I try and copy and replace I get error message saying not possible. Whats the trick here?

Don't know. I just leave the exe in My Docs, and run it from the shortcuts.
Okay. Will do same. thanks..
Resco Explorer will also do it.
To dotfred from your SD Card, do this:
Place the .exe in you \Storage Card\Programs folder. With your desktop PC, navigate to \Windows Mobile Device\My Device\Storage Card\Programs & right click on the exe file. Select create shortcut. Move the shortcut to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs using desktop pc.
Voilla! you are done, go check Programs & it's there.
this is the steps i usually take when entering in a reg file. I use resco explorer for all this. I double click. Then I make sure I close resco through the menu exit and not the X button. Then I continue to play around with my phone for a while opening up menus and stuff. Then I soft reset. Doing these steps, I for sure get my stuff to work. There might be some unnecessary steps I take, but I end up with what I want. Many people have trouble keeping their registry stuff to stick. The steps I take, I never worry about that.

Thanks for the tip. Was not aware you could make shortcuts this way. Running from the card appeals because the .exe will still be there after reflashing a new ROM and I will only need to move/copy the shortcut. Being a newb I have been somewhat reluctant to run apps from the card but I am gathering that is is a quite an acceptable thing to do.
Is there a way to place registry keys inside a CAB so that they will get imported when the CAB is launched? Whilst the above DotFred association method works a treat for me with ".reg" files I would like to find a standalone method to import registry info. So that I can pass a single file to someone else and without any extra config they can import the contents into their registy.
definitely. There are a lot of cab creators where you can just enter in your reg key and will create your cab. Someone recommended me this program. I really like it.

Thanks for the link thomasster. Does the job well. Probaly an overkill (and therefore overpriced for what I need), but I got it to work OK. Also from using it, I learnt that the process simply converts the registry keys to provxml. So now I am looking to manaully create the "_setup.xml" and then use iexpress.exe in Vista to create the CABs.
Is there a way to undo changes made by import .reg file?
I imported a reg file using DotFredd's Taskmanager. Now I want to undo it? Is it possible? How?
Thanks
Hi!
I was just wondering if it was possible to save the words you have added to the T9 dictionary. It would be nice to have a backup if you flash your Diamond often.
Sure is...
unzip the attached file copy paste to your Diamond.
Start using it
Ok.... i tried downloading the file but it cannot open the file... file error!!!!!

try again. I try download it just now and i can open ok.

Awesome dude.
Pretty much what I was looking for some time.
Now, is there a way to backup this whole list, so we can restore it after flashing a new ROM?
Thanks!
can, lah...
select text in T9MyWords > copy > paste into a text file > save the text file in a save location (e.g. Sync Folder "My Documents" or Internal Storage).
After flashing a new ROM: select text in the text file > copy > paste into T9MyWords.

Sounds simple. Have ya tried it? Doesn't work bro. The text are placed line by line, not in a textbox.
Im thinking I could backup the following files:
\Windows\eT9Cdb.Cdb
\Windows\eT9Rudb.Rdb
Both of them contain words (and more) from the T9 list. Gonna do some reading up and see the significance of these files.
oops... I'm sorry. tweaking with more than one proggis at the moment....
BoogieCornejo has given following solution:
go to windows folder and save these 2 files. eT9Cdb.Cdb and eT9Rudb.Rdb. after hard reset rename the original files in windows folder to anything you want then copy your saved files to replace the renamed ones.start a message or any text document and add a word.you'll notice the words you stored from before the hard reset will still be there...
Olafson added one more file:
eT9Rudb.Rdb
eT9Cdb.Cdb
eT9AsDb.Adb
1) Copy files from windows to another location
2) Change attributes from read only to archive
3) Overwrite files in windows folder (Now the files are not in rom)
4) If are still read only you have to change again in Archive (Now you can because files are not in rom)
I did not try yet as I flashed my rom yesterday night
Sourceress, Thanks so much for this! I have been looking all over for a way to update my T9 dictionary to get rid of some annoying words! This exe is a mind saver!
Thanks really useful - why HTC doedsn't include this facility I've no idea!!
The program is simple but wonderful. I was looking for some ways to clear those words too.
I just downloaded the .exe and removed the word Im but for some reason when I use t9 it still uses Im when I type i then m instead of I'm with the capital I and apostrophe. Any ideas why?
Really a big big thanks for this posting. Fantastic program, awesome!!!
none of these two files works for me... that's strange!
Thanks a lot.It works fine. I look for something like that for a long time
im trying to extract some cabs from a NHB file...can anyone guide me in the direction on how to do this
I'd say the best way to do that is to extract the ROM into regular files.
You need to download a bunch of EXE files: NBHextract.exe, NBSplit.exe, ImgfsToDump.exe, and ImgfsFromNB.exe
You need to extract the NBH with NBHextract.exe. This will yield a .nb file
You need to use NBSplit (use the "-kaiser" parameter) to split the .nb into a .nb.payload file and a .nb.extra file
You then need to use ImgfsFromNB on the .nb.payload file, which will create a file called imgfs.bin
Use ImgfsToDump on imgfs.bin, which will create a folder called "Dump". When it finishes, All of the ROM's files will be there. You will probably want to search the folder for .cab files, since there are thousands of files in the average ROM dump.
That should do the job for you.
Or just use Visual Kitchen to Dump the ROM, and then rebuild the OEMs to CABs.
Dave
could u walk me through the visual kitchen program?
Hmmm look for htcRIE_0.4.0.47 and extract what you want.
im trying to extrct the streaming media player cab...the one thats in most of the 6.5 roms that has a look a like HTC ablum look to it, but i cant find a cab using "htcRIE_0.4.0.47"
little help will might ...
You do not search for it at you WM ROM,
Search at the site...
Anyway i have been find it for you !
A newer version of htcRIE, enjoy!

With Visual Kitchen, just click on the Dump button at the bottom - and then browse to the NBH file .

i guess all nbh files dont have cabs because in the dump folder it creates...its only a couple of cabs and whole lot of systems files

Yeah, you have to rebuild the EXT packages to CAB's I don't know if there is a tool for that actually. Might be better dumping it the Dave (TyTNII) way, that will give you OEM's. There are tools for OEM 2 CAB.
Jason8 is working on a tool to convert all 3 all ways IIRC.

You have to run them from the windows command line (CMD.exe). If you really want me to, I'll upload a batch file I made which automates most of this. You just put the NBH and tools in certain folders and run the batch file and it does the rest.

Alright, I fixed all the bugs in it (it was still in progress) and added some new features I had meant to add for a while, such as renaming the processed files by date processed (though you probably won't need them if you're only extracting one ROM). Hit [WINDOWS KEY] and R on your keyboard at the same time to open the Windows Run dialog, and type "%USERPROFILE%" without the quotes. Simply unzip the file and drag the folder called "Flashing" in the user folder (it's vital to have the Flashing folder in the correct spot. Otherwise, the entire script will fail). Place the NBH file you want to extract in the NBHDUMP folder (in the Rhodium folder, which is in the Flashing folder), and go to the IMGFS folder (in the Rhodium folder, which is in the Flashing folder). Now, run RhodiumRomDump.bat and the dump should commence, and a folder with your dump should appear in the same directory.
If anything should go wrong, please tell me so I can try to fix it.
EDIT: Please redownload, all issues I could find are fixed in this version. If you get errors about needing MSVCr71.DLL with this version, google is your friend.
maybe im not doing something right, ive been at it for days now...i put the "flashing folder" in C:\Documents and Settings\Sean (sean's my name..haha), put the nbh file in the NBH folder, ran "DumpRhodiumRom", i got 2 folders named "and" and "Setings"....when i run "dumpRhodiumRom", its just stays on the screen for half a second
ive extracted the rom before using visual kitchen...im trying to get some of the programs into cabs...the problem is that in the dump file, i see the programs i want, but they arent in cabs, so i cant just take its "exe" file and put it into another phone (well at least that didnt work for me)

That's odd. Can you tell me two things?
Where do these folders ("Settings" and "And") show up?
Hit [Windows Key] + R and type "CMD" (without quotes), then hit okay, then type "cd %USERPROFILE%\Flashing\Rhodium\IMGFS" (without quotes). Now, type "DumpRhodiumRom" (without quotes), and tell me exactly what is says (you don't actually have to include all the formatting and everything). Also, if you could tell me what color it's in, that would help.
I'm going to test it in a virtual Windows XP environment and see if it's compatiblity with XP that's the problem.
EDIT: So the problem seems to be the fact that it doesn't like the spaces in the folder name "Documents and Settings", hence the creation of the "and" and "settings" folders. Unfortunately, it's an important folder, so renaming isn't really possible. However, I think I know a simple fix to the original script, so I'll test that and post it shortly.

Try downloading cabtools V 0.3 and use pkg2cab to build the package back into a .cab file. I've never done it myself, but this looks like what you want.
