Hi all
I installed the HTC Home plug Based on the Kaiser one. With the Weather Patch
But now I have a strange problem. In the Weather Tab it says (null) instead of High or Low.
Same go's for the Ringtone.
Well the problem is: When I reload the Plug it works. But when I reboot my device it show op (Null) again until I reload the Plugin.
Does anyone know this problem???
Thanks in advance.
Same problem, haven't found a real fix yet but I got a workaround you can try.
After every reset of the device follow these steps.
- Disable HTC Home from the today screen.
- Open HTC Home Customizer
- Change some minor detail (usually selected weather city for me)
- Save
- Go back to today screen and HTC home is there with all language files working magically.
It's a bit of a pain in the ass but I haven't found a better solution just yet. Hopefully someone else can answer this for us but in the meantime you can use my cheap method to make it look right.
You have to rename:
windows\HTCHome.dll.0409.mui
windows\HTC_HDlg.exe.0409.mui
windows\HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml
to your locale variable (if your rom isn't wwe), in my case it's spanish (0C0A):
windows\HTCHome.dll.0C0A.mui
windows\HTC_HDlg.exe.0C0A.mui
windows\HH_0C0A_WeatherCities.xml
It worked for me.
There's another way to do it, harder but way better, i usually do this with my own cabs because after a hard reset i don't like having to change everything again. Steps:
1- Decompress the cab with winrar
2- Edit the file "setup.xml" and correct things you want to change about installation setup: name of files to install (like in this case), name of registry variables to write (like in 10-button commanager for wing), etc
3- Find and download "Cabpack 1.4", be sure to use the following options for it to work: "compression type = mszip", "Create cabinets for = 16 bit extractor"
4- Use it for re-compressing your modified cab and install.
5- Voilá... great pre-modified cabs that you can keep for the next hard-reset.
Hope you like it. Regards

Hello and thanks for this help !
But it doesn't work for me. Maybe you can help me ?

But the files are already named with my locale variable. (I'm not sure)
windows\HTCHome.dll.040C.mui
windows\HTC_HDlg.exe.040C.mui
windows\HH_040C_WeatherCities.xml
The language of my Windows Mobile 6 is in french. But i want to display weather of "Lausanne" in Switzerland (100C)

Thanks a lot for your answers

Hi
Am newbie to the whole XDA thing (am just converting from BB), have managed to unlock my XDA Mini S and tried running K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020721_ship.exe as i heard this would reflash the ROM to the latest (a friend of mine gave me this copy).
Got an error during this, and wondered if there was a specific XDA Mini S version (have searched on the site and it appears that there is on ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard) and there are many different ROMS under the ROM directory, but i am unable to login to this site.
Am i just being thick here.
Any help gretaly appreciated.
That ROM upgrade worked ok on my xda-mini-s
When I upgraded my ROM I done the following.....
#unlock phone
with no SIM card in phone
copy EnableRapi.cab to phone
run EnableRapi.cab from phone
run lokiwiz.bat from PC
select option 'U' Unlock SIM
phone reboots
add SIM to backout bin file names on PC
run lokiwiz.bat from PC
select option 'C' unlock CID
phone reboots
add CID to backout bin file names on PC
#install new ROM
uncomress ROM file from zip
click ROM install file
follow instruction
takes 10 minutes
phone reboots
Hope this helps
Bilbo,
Hi. I ran through what you put but my Mini S does not auto reboot. I'm not sure the exact definition of a soft reboot is? - Put the stylus in the side or hold the power button for a few seconds?
Either way I cannot get the new KJAM rom on as invalid vendor ID is haunting me.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You
Ben
Dudes - I've done the same upgrade to my mini S. Not sure if it's worth the bother. No difference in speed/performance and my keyboard shifted symbols (@?£$) are out of sync. I think I'll go back to the Mini S rom without the customised stuff.
LLcoolJ:
I noticed lots of difference, speed and battery life.
To get the keyboard from US to UK symbols use the following:
Here are the registry changes ....
Keyboard language
Registry: HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd
Key: Locale (string)
Value: 0809 English UK
0409 English US
0407 German
0419 Russian
040C French
0410 Italian
040A Spanish

The invalid vendor ID is the result of the ROM update..... to get rid of it make sure you run :
run lokiwiz.bat from PC
select option 'U' Unlock SIM
phone reboots
add SIM to backout bin file names on PC
A soft reboot is when you hit the reset button on the right hand side, its like rebooting a PC. A hard reset however is a re-install boot where you loose everything and the ROM is re-installed.
Cheers Bilbo - I've made the changes to the registry and the keyboard talks like me. Your right about battery power as well.
Bilbo.
Thank you for replying and helping.
Let me just go over what you said...
first I ran the loki cab file on the mini S.
run lokiwiz.bat from PC -- done.
select option 'U' Unlock SIM -- done (with sim card removed)
phone reboots -- not automatically though, but I will reboot it after the lokiwiz.bat finishes
add SIM to backout bin file names on PC -- what does this mean? this is not in the lokiwiz instructions and this is where i'm going wrong. Where is the bin file created btw, I can never find it?
I have tried so many combinations i'm starting to lose hope.
If you can help to get this damn thing working I promise to make a donation to this web site.
Thanks for all the good work.
Ben
i managed to get the unlock, but did not do the CID (so will try that).
So once i have done that will the K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020721_ship.exe upgrade work?
Here's how I got mine working. - Remove the Sim card. Make sure you use Lockwiz02b. Select U to unlock from the options menu. The mini S should reboot automatically. Leave the device alone until its functional again and then start Lockwiz02b again. Select C (CID unlock) from the menu. It should reboot again and close down the Lockwiz box. The mini S should now be ready for a rom upgrade. On my first attempt I used the original Lockwiz prog which caused problems for me.
I'm about to do my rom update on my mini s....but this thread is so confusing!
Is there a step by step guide somewhere on the forum???
ROM Upgrade
Upgraded O2 XDA mini without any real problems:
I used the aWizard 1.3 Beta 2 tool which allowed me to carry out the CID Unlock and was pretty easy to understand. What it did not do was pick up the ROM from the rom folder but once I had completed the CID unlock I ran the rom normally and all was well.
So in essence: Connect Mini to PC via Activesync
Run the aWizard Bat file enabling RAPI (This is used to communicate with your XDA once it has done using Activesync). Then select the Unlock CID option. Once completed I then exited the wizard and followed the instructions as part of the rom upgrade and all worked well no hitches except the one mentioned above about the keyboard (now I have to find out how to modify the registry).
So what I used: aWizard 1.3 Beta 2 and QTEK Rom 2.17
186504-ruu_9100_2170702_21707102_20710_qtek_wwe_ship.exe
Mystery Solved!!!!
I finally figured out why its not working....
When I downloaded the loki zip file I opened it up in winzip and dragged the contents to a folder I created. Ran the batch file eveything seemed ok and the unlocker said it unlocked the device.
I have now realised that you have extract the files from the loki zip file and use the folder structure. If you don't, the utils directory is not created and the loki.bat cannot reference some files.
Found the answer on page 12/13 of the loki thread.
Thanks All
Ben
After doing the CID unlock the ROM install worked fine.
Just having the keyboard issue at the moment with symbols, went to:
Registry: HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd
Key: Locale (string)
Value: 0809 English UK
but could not find the locale key to set to UK?
All i see is:
DefaultKeyLock
InitialDelay
MuteSwitch
RepeatRate
ShowWarningMsg
Am i looking in the right place or do i have to add this in (if so how)?
Cheers
Youv'e got to create a new registry key. Assuming you've got a registry editor. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Control Panel / Keybd.
Then create a new string value. Name it Locale and give it a value of 0809 for UK. Then reboot.
Just went in a created the new reg key as you mentioned.
Rebooted and it worked.
Many thanks for all your help on this, it is most appreciated.
I am now the converted!!!
So to sum up for anybody else:
Bought XDA Mini S from 02
use Lockwiz02b
Select U to unlock from the options menu
The mini S should reboot automatically
Start Lockwiz02b again
Select C (CID unlock) from the menu
It should reboot again and close down the Lockwiz box
The mini S should now be ready for a rom upgrade.
Then run
K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020721_ship.exe
follow usual prompts.
Once phone is up and running, get a reg edit tool (i used PHMregedit) as the keyboard for a couple of the symbols is out of synch (think it is US style).
Using regedit tool
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Control Panel / Keybd
Then create a new string value
Name it Locale and give it a value of 0809 for UK
Then reboot.
Mini XDA should now work fine.
I have found that the new push technology for email is faster than Blackberry and more usueful.
Hope this is helpful to others.
Cheers great forum
quick question...
i am fed up with waiting for o2 to release their latest ROM so i am going to take the plunge with this ROM instead, my question is do i have to make any special changes once installed to make it work with O2 UK i.e. mms settings, GPRS settings etc.?
Also i noticed somebody has put together a T-Mobile USA customised ROM any chance that somebody will do this for O2 UK?

The Problem im having here is that once i have created the registry key, it deletes after a reboot. Is there something else i need to unlock to allow writing to the registry?
New Roms
Hi there - I'm sure this is your answer - I have read this on many forums.
WM05 takes a while to store the registry updates after you exit your editor. Make the registry change and wait a minute or so before performing the soft reset.
Hope this helps - we have all fell for this "improvement" to WM5 from the boys at MS.
Regards,
Chris.

Thanks Bilbo . . . Spot on. First time to all this and followed it a treat

Is there a version of Quickgps that works on HTC P3600??
i tried it but it gives a connection failed error
Try this one. It's like in Kaiser (have same registry values). http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/1863057/VolROM_QuickGPS_RUS_v1.00.cab
But don't forget change region setting to your own in hklm\software\htc\quickGPS
Oh, i forgot, it's russian version. There are two mui in windows directory: Gps_aux.dll.0419.mui and quickGPS.exe.0419.mui. So rename it to 0409 for working in wwe rom.
added.
PS: this version downloads xtra.bin file which used by qualcomm based devices (Kaiser, Polaris, Diamond) with GPSOne chip. I think it will work on Trinity (also GPSOne chip) but we don't complete all tests yet
In fact, the region settings in the registry is RU...but what it should be set? then, i renamed the .mui from 419 to 409...but i still get very nice russian interface! Could you please explain it in more details? thanks indeed in advance.
but, most importantly....do you observe any improvements in the fix?

You can get QuickGPS app which you like (English or other). All necessary registry values in attached cab! So, we only "teach" QuickGPS download right file.
Region settings=Country name. Russia=RU, Italia=IT, France=FR, Belgium=BE etc.
I don't complete all tests... BTW, i will say that it work (sometimes). Ex: I do HR, install QGPS, get fix, run GPSinfo, but there is no satellites listed and i get standard fix (very long, apx 200 - 230 sec).
Ex2: At the evening i trying one more time. Same schema: I do HR, install QGPS, get fix, run GPSinfo and i see that all satt in their positions. Fix get in 45-47 sec. I don't understand why.
Syncronisation with PC back up FIX? Any ideas?
(and sooo sorry for my English)
Thanks guys for your great help
I actually got quickgps to work by installing 2 versions
the first is the 760kb then i install over it the 238kb version and then restart and it works like magic
now i can get a cold fix in few seconds
I look this two cab files. First (larger) identical to my russian cab, but english version. Second look like a cab for sirf based devices. setup.xml in it have many "waste" registry keys... and i see that it reconfigure gps com port... i'm right?
Please, make HR, get fix and tell us: do you see sattelites in their positions after that?
Hi G-Max, I have just installed the two files; how do I "make HR, get fix" to see if it works?
On registry the right country code shows. but in folder 0, 1 and 2 the default region is not set; could be the problem?
Cheers

Hey xucue,
Both links doesn't seem to work here.
The downloadlink gives me a page with much chinese characters. I tried de red button but this doesn't work.
Would you post te correct links or maybe upload it to another server?
Thank you.
ps: wat is te free ram?
Oh sorry OllieD's,
Didn't see your your post.
Think this page was in my cache memory.
Downloaded, tried unsuccessfully, get stuck on 19% and then gives me 262 error, after that bricks the phone. To get the phone back, had to reflash with original htc firmware. Tried 2nd time with another way, no success stays at 0%, i mean without running sspl. Am i doing something wrong?
thanks for your link,dear dllied.
to update the rom,you have to make sure your wings' spl is 0.91.
i have test it,and it work well,so i share it to all.
available ram is same to office 6.0.
in my other rom,the available ram have 20 with sd card after flash rom.but it is only contain chinese language.
Yes i have spl 0.91, Had it since update with Alcaline's rom. But still same stuff.
rom is running! battery load over usb is disabled - go to settings an change it. every thing is ok!
i wonder why there is no rom with phonecanvas 2g for wings. also, why is the original s740 weather gone?
but: rom is cool and fast!
many thanks
ok tell me if i am doing something wrong in steps:
1. Unlock the device with sda-unlock
2. Backup-just in case.
3. Put spl-0.91-wings on the phone and run it, accepting everything, then when it says usb, unplug and replug usb cable
4. Run Rom updateutility.exe on pc
Then it goes up to 19% everytime and gives me 262 error. Triying recovery because phone boots to 3 colour mode, as there is no rom in it. Says recovery successful. The flashing again, stays at 0% then gives mee same 262 error.
Then the only way to get the phone back is to flash with original htc firmware. So what am i doing wrong?
may this helps: my ROMUpdateUtility wasn't right. take the nbh and put it in a folder with another one - from an another rom!
Is there any way to get the eT9.Wings.0414.kmap.txt included in this rom? I need the keymapping for norwegian language..!

I found a german keyboard layout file for the wings: http://pocketpc.ch/showpost.php?p=217070&postcount=7 It also adds support for keys like ä, ü and ö.
Just copy the file into the windows directory of your S730. Then open your favourite registry editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Tegic/eT9/IME/KeyboardLayoutDlls and change the value of 000007FF to eT9.Wings.0407.kmap.txt.

@Zeerocool, do you like the rom? Recommended to upgrade from Alkaline's build?
Ok, i think i am unlucky. Done evrything that i possibly could think of. Tried putting .nbh file into different rom update folders - no success, tried changing updateromutility.exe from various roms, tried customruu - no success, tried renaming .nbh file into latin only letters - no success. Tried with 3 different Windows systems: XP, Vista and 7. 2 different pcs. This just doesnt work, gets stuck on 19% always, all other roms upgrade fine, but not this one. Please help.
nice one, quick and stable.
I remade SlidingPanel CPRs to support Calibri,
1) install Calibri mod by NRGZ first
2) copy CPRs to your \Windows folder (replace existing)
I also add BaseHue and ClearType apps I found lacking
Also, I made my own Home layout without Profiles (you can easily access via On/Off key) and with compressed size for speed
I add regedit for your convenience, here are the mods you might like:
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\CallStart to 0
* HKLM\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit to 65535 (tweak)
* HKLM\System\Inbox\RecipientAutoComplete and set/change the following DWORD: MaxSuggestions=4 (for example)
oh, and you can run Security app to all off so that you can rearrange Windows folder without restrictions + batterymeter that is a line on display top + reboot option added to On/Off button menu
all in the ZIP attached
+ I give you a new desktop theme, just place scheme in Application data/home and pics in \Windows
Finally success.
Hi folks.
At first i have to say, that this is a somehow unclean and tricky solution, but it works somehow and maybe it can be improved.. There are some threads on this forum, which deal with that, but i'm going to describe, what i did, to get it working.
You need:
- The new Touch IT 2.1-ROM (don't know yet, if it works with other ROMs - think only if it's the same build)
- A backup from a german ROM (mine was made by SPB-backup from the cmEX-image, also don't know if other ROMs/backup tools work)
- The language files from here (German.rar)
- A registry editor (I used PHM regedit)
First i took all the mui-files out, by using the Windows search and copying them into another folder, then i transferred them via ActiveSync into the \Windows folder.
Then I put a link to the registry tool and to the explorer and PHM regedit in the TF3D programs panel (you'll need that, because after changing the registry to use german language your start menu will be screwed up for some reason and you can't access any program anymore).
Now you have to change two registry values and optionally set your region in the regional settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI]
"SysLang"="1031" (for german)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI]
"CurLang"="1031"
-> It's time to do a soft-reset and you'll notice, that the pin-dialogs and so on are in german.
Go to the TF3D programs panel (as i said: Start menu will be screwed up - there are links for programs and settings, but they won't work) and start explorer to execute your backup.
After that your ROM should be fully german.
This is probably not a very good solution and it's kind of buggy, but it is a start..
I couldn't get it until know, how to cook the language files into a ROM (tried it with extracting the new Touch IT 2.1 and inserting the files from German.rar, but ended up with the device starting up and showing a black screen all the time).
If somebody could help me out with that, i would, if i am allowed, make a german version of the Touch IT 2.1 ROM.
Any additions or corrections appreciated!!
Ok I have read this site several times and have flashed my phone numerous times and I can say there are some damn good ROM's located on this site..However there are flaws to each one and that is why i am writing this..I do appreciate all of the hard work that goes into these roms for if you guys didnt do them then we would be stuck with the same ol tired looking phones..
For those of you that are new to this please pay attention to the posts for i have learned the hard way..I would like to know how to fix some of the errors that are in these roms because like I said befor each one is different..so far the one that i have found to be the best for most users is OTP v7.5.1 TouchFlo 2D Professional...this Rom seems to have it all together except one thing..the call volume is low and the ringtone volume is also low..besides that this is your winner in my eyes for a power user..
If anyone out there knows how to fix these errors please let me know for I am staying with this ROM until I find a better one...thank you for your time and I will be donating to the rightful developer...

I have been using this rom for a couple of weeks now and I have just discovered once I reflashed it I have seemed to fix the only error that was found...
here is a posting that will give some info and hopefully answer alot of your current questions..
Default FAQ
FAQ Section:
Read everything in this section before downloading the roms and flashing.
If you don't understand it, read it again and again until you understand.
Once your done flashing your device double check back here again to configure your device.
I will not reply to any subjects already covered in this section.
I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just very busy with finishing up this project and also working on other projects.
Back up your phone before downloading and flashing this rom... I do not want anybody to loose their data due to flashing this rom, as the rom will erase all of your data...

II. How do I flash an NBH file?
a. USPL
Step 1. Download Herald-USPL-Beta3. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A4N36HLO
Step 2. UnZIP the file into a folder on your Desktop. Let's call it "MyFirstROM" for simplicity's sake. Notice that there is a folder called RUU within this folder now. Keep that in mind.
Step 3. Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into that RUU folder. Make sure that that NBH file ends up in the RUU folder, not within a folder inside the RUU folder.
Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.
Step 5. Go back to the MyFirstROM folder and then run USPL.exe
Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.
* Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.
* ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.
Step 7. One step 3 on that black window, the RUU flasher will pop up. Just follow the steps.
That's it. Welcome to the flasher's world.

M2DC
Just tried the M2DC theme manager on 7.3 Std, with a renamed .zip file to .m2dct file (specifically the KnobiSkin from the M2D skin thread).
First time, it locked up. M2DC continued with spinning icon until I forced a reboot. Touchflo was off after reboot, and after enabling it everything appeared to be the same.
Second attempt, I disabled Touchflo from today before applying the new theme. Got the "Applying Theme" prompt. After M2DC closed, I reactivated touchflow and new theme was applied.
Simple instruction for use of M2DC Themes on OTP 7.3:
Find a skin you like, download the zip file (not the cab),
Rename file to .m2dct,
Copy new file to the themes directory of the M2DC install directory,
Disable touchflo in Today settings
Start M2DC,
Go to themes tab (the first time it will back up the default theme),
Click the new theme then apply,
Restart touchflo.
Alternate for creating themes from skin CABs:
Run M2DC first, let it make the DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct file, Close M2DC.
Run the CAB skin of choice.
Rename DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct to OriginalTheme.m2dct (or anything else with same extension).
Rerun M2DC. It will detect no DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct and will ask to back up again. Let it make new backup. Close M2DC.
Rename new file to the name of the new theme.
Repeat for each skin CAB you wish to convert to m2dc theme file.
Note: The M2DCT files can be large (over 3Mb, 660 files backed up). Best to do this only if M2DC is installed on a large Storage card.
Note 2: Several times M2DC appeared to freeze when applying or backing up themes. It looks like it has problems if touchflo is not off prior to running. It does try to deactivate touchFlo then reactivate when done, but it doesn't appear to work flawlessly yet. It is better to deactivate the Today plugin before running M2DC on this ROM build.
