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,

Hello,
As everybody already knows there are some serous problems with Qtek9090 device type models and carkits. A nice echo is produced when somebody is calling. I have a wavedev.dll file that should resolve this issue but I can't replace it on my Qtek9090 because it's a system file. How can I force this replacement?
Thanxz for any response, I bought this complete set and i'm thinking about it to return it. Operator T-Mobile, rom1.40, radio 1.20.

rename existing wavedev.dll to wavedev.bak, copy the new file and reboot.
Just curious but is it definitely Radio 1.20 or 1.12 as 1.13 is the latest I know of....
wavdev.dll
hello mamaich,
of course i can not rename the file because it is a system file, in use, attributes can not be removed. anybody has another idea?

(sorry for the type mismatch radio 1.12)
Re: wavdev.dll
1. All files in ROM can be freely overwritten even if they are loaded by applications. But they of cause cannot be renamed.
2. Files in object store that are opened cannot be overwriten. So if you cannot do that - than this file is contained in object store and was already updated, probably by some CAB from extended ROM.
3. WM2003 allowed opened files from object store to be renamed. According to your post you have 2003SE.
If you cannot rename this file - the file may be in ROM, so you can freely overwrite it with explorer.
If you cannot overwrite it - you still can rename it. In this case after renaming there would 2 copies of file. One with the new name, and the old wavedev.dll would reappear (the ROM version would be visible again).
In some rare cases some program may completely prohibit access to the file, but i've never seen that for DLLs. Unless you are using some PocketPC antivirus (a completely silly idea by the way). In this case uninstall antivir and do a soft reset.
WM2005 does not allow user to overwrite ROM files, but they can be still overwritten by OS itself, for example by creating a custom CAB file. I do this in my WM5 patches.
Not working
Hello mamaich,
Thanks for the complete answer but unfortunally none of these options work. Renaming the file does not create a new copy of the renamed file. I can't even copy the file, it says \\Windows\wavedev.dll access denied. Maby you can tell me how to create a .cab file so that this file is copied and overwritten? something with .net or something?
Thanxz,
Peter

You can use WinCe Cab Manager
is there an app for the alpine that lets you extract cab files from exe.files without using a pc
I think most of the .exe actually contain a Win32 installer, so I believe there is no realy way to extract the CAB from it, apart from running it on the PC.
However, most of the time you can get the CAB on the PC and install it without using ActiveSync. The Installer usually extracts the CAB to C:\Program Files\[Name of Software] or C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\[Name of Software]. Grab it there and store it on your device, then install with CabInstaller for example.
Cheerio !
If you must go hardcore and decompress a cab on your phone, try it with a RAR decompresor. They open on the PC with winrar, but you'll lose file name & structure.

Sometimes the PC .exe file automatically deletes the CAB file from the PC & you won't be able to find it on the PC.
If you have an app that behaves like this, run the .exe on the PC & click on OK/Next until you get to the dialogue that asks you 'Install "AppName" using the default install directory?', just after you see the 'Retrieving Device Data' notification.
Now fire up Windows Explorer on the PC and search your \Program Files\ and \Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\ directories for your software developer's name. The CAB files should be inside this folder.
Note: All you need is the CAB file. If there is more than one, make sure you pick the correct Processor type ie .ARM for Himalaya or Alpine, not SH3 or MIPS. You don't need any .ini files either.
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 ?
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,
Null
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
is there anyone know how to install GAPI 1.2 into blue angel ?
you copy the gx.dll and the gx.lib from the ARM folder of your downloaded GAPI into the device's windows folder, thereby overwriting the original gx.dll.
if you are having trouble overwriting the file, because it might be in use, soft reset and try again. i also read, that devices with wm2003 or higher don't need the dll, since it is already part of the os. what do you need that for anyways?
i have already tried that way too but it still can't be copied. i need this two file to play pocket everquest.
you probably should not use the pc's explorer or the device's file explorer to try and overwrite the file, try a more advanced file manager, like total commander (PPC) or resco explorer, so maybe you can try and edit the file's properties, if it is protected, and make sure, to kill any other program running in the background, because any of those could possibly be using the file, so causing it to be protected.
