I see a bunch of stuff in the windows folder that can go, but neither the built in file explorer nor TotalCommander will let me delete any of the files. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

make your own kitchen and remove files when building your ROM
Isn't there any easier way to remove crap from our windows folder??
most files in the windows dir is located in the rom which cant be altered apart from at full rom flash time
some can be overwritten if one use less poor filemanagers then explore like total commander

How do you unlock the ROM so that you can either delete, rename, or replace system files in the Windows directory???
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is using the patched v3 WM5 ROM BTW!
Also, when I do a ROM-to-SD dump using the d2s command, how do I get it so that the changed files in the ROM Windows directory are also copy as if they were part of the original ROM?
Unlock
You can easily do it with Resco Explore
Really? Lol, I feel stupid!
Thanks!
Now how can I get files that have been changed to remain during an SD ROM dump?
It isn't possible to delete Files with Resco Explorer in Windows Directory.
It writes: File is in ROM Memory, you can't delete this file.
Is there a workaround?
yes there is, dump the rom, modify the files repack and reflash
Hello,
I was trying to upgrade extended rom, after updateing new os.
And...
I copy proper files to some folder by Active Sync, and then go by Total Commander do \extended_rom, delete all files from it and copy from other folder. Then I see monit, that files are there and if I want to override them...
I say yes.
And after hard reset nothing happen - no files are installed. And in \extended_rom I see no files, but when I try to copy them - the same situation.
Please, tell me what to do ?
How I can change some images from the windows folder, they are read only and I can't change this, I can download the images to my pc and change them but I can't put them back, is there a other way then just decopile the entire rom?

it`s not possible, only you DUMP your Rom

Just use a program like Total Commander or Resco Explorer to copy the files into your Windows folder. The ROM files aren't actually overwritten, they are merely shadowed.

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:

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:

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 wanted to customize my htc touch pro a little bit by changing the battery icon, but that requires me to replace a ddl file, but heres the problem, i cant replace it
I cant replace it using the total commander on the phone, and not using my windows when connected to my computer.
Does anyone know how i can remove the limitations so i can replace ddl files in the windows directory?
Using Windows Mobile 6.1
In total commander, copy the file to the \Temp folder. Then CUT the file from temp, and paste it into \Windows. That should work.
If that still doesn't work, you can try this:
Rename the original dll in \Windows (I like to add a new suffix like .old with Total Commander).
Copy the file into temp.
Cut/paste from temp to windows.
Reboot phone.
If THAT doesn't work, then I don't know what to tell you.
Are you on a custom or stock ROM?
If it's a stock ROM, you will need to install Security Certificates in order for the .DLL to work.
Additionally, it is possible that Security Policies are in place that prevent execution of of .DLL that are unsigned.
HTH,
