hi guys,
i installed My Clock from these guys
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=10082&associateid=207
thing is, it was not really that good, now whenever i try and uninistall it , i get error "Myclock.dll is running". I have even done a reset and tried it and its the same message.
I am using My Calender, i have disabled that to try and uninstall My Clock, but its the same error.
any tips?
cheers
Ali
Use File Explorer to rename Myclock.dll to Myclock.old and run add/remove again.
BTW Myclock.dll is located in your \Windows root folder.
thanks a lot Qman i will try it out.
i also tried the new "My phone profile 3", i want to install it and i get error "myprofiles.dll" is in use or read only.
what is up with this developer ?... or is this normal ?
so shall i just rename it mate?
cheers
Try goto Start, Settings, Today, Items and un-check it then do a soft reset. If that fails then just rename!
listen bro,
if you rename a file, or whatever file - once it gets uninstalled .... does that file get deleted ?
if not, then why not just delete it instead of renaming it?
Thanks for your patience
Its in use so you can't delete it hence the rename then you can. Give it a try and you'll see what I mean!
Perhaps this file is launching from your /Windows/Startup folder, hence it's always running when you startup. Try removing the file?

While playing (a bit too much), I must have deleted the password setup icon/file from settings and cannot change or disable the password screen. Anyone knows what the file name is and can post it here or email me the file. I know the password and can get in but I really don't need it and would like to disable it.
The shortcut is exactly like this:
"ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,1"
>> without "" quotes

Thanks ezzkht, but how do I create the shortcut?
Try to copy any shortcut from \windows\start menu\programs\
and paste it to the location you want, rename it & edit it using Total Commander (right-click on it & choose Properties, then go to Shortcut tab and change the TARGET parameter to "ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,1" without quotes.
The icon will automatically change to the password icon

Sorry ezzkht, I did exactly what you said but it did not work. Tried with and without quotes, tried 0 instead of 1 but the icon never changes to the password icon just an executable icon but nothing happens when I click on it.
OH yes you are right!! sorry!
Ok here's the shortcut, I just get it from my device..
I opened it with a HEX editor & found the following line inside it:
51#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,1?\Windows\cplmain.cpl,-6000
plz tell me if it worked with you
Hi ezzkht, I tried but this also does not seem to work.
I checked the registery and their is a mention of a Password.cpl in the Windows directory which is not in mine. I installed logologin and picturepassword and have recently removed them, don't know if they might have also removed this file. It may be the the problem, do you have this file.
Neither me, I don't have password.cpl file in \windows directory!!
I have cplmain.cpl only!
I noticed that the password link points to cplmain.cpl with a parameter of : password.cpl
I guess that cplmain.cpl is a composite file which contains alot of programs, one of them is the password program!
Do u have the cplmain.cpl in windows directory??

Thanks ezzkht, this was good but it still did'nt work. I think somewhere their is a file missing. I will try emailing MS and see if they have an answer.
You welcome, but I did nothing!!
A hard reset could help, unless you are not willing to install your programs all over again!

You got that right, finally got all the programs and the look I want. I am going to do a backup via Activsync and a clone backup tonight at home then if all else fails I will do a HR, copy any missing files from the windows directory and reinstall my backups.
Seems a great idea :wink:
Compare the two WINDOWS directories, and copy only the missing files..
Good luck dude
After some tests, I've seen that the unique way to use an alternative program to view SMSes, even from "All messages" on Manila2D, is to replace tmail.exe... but after that some things no more work well, such email, activesync, etc.
I decided then to build a little HiJack to put over the original tmail.exe, that when we try to view SMSes it executes a link, while for ohter operations starts the original one.
tmail_hijack_1_0_0_0
Use:
1. make a copy of \windows\tmail.exe in \windows\tmailm.exe
2. overwrite the old tmail.exe with the new one
3. create in the \windows directory a link to the program we want to use for the SMSes view, and name it tmailsms.lnk
if everythink is right, when you press on "All messages" the new program will open up, while all the rest remains as is

worked for me (using vito sms-chat) but is there a way to have it open the sms app when i click on the message in manilla (it still goes to tmail)?

You are right... I hope that somebody find a way do do it ... I created a copy by extracting it from the ROM image with Ervius kitchen (or any other kitchen able to make a dump)
Try closing tmail.exe using a Task manager before overwriting it with Resco Explorer or total Commander.
Hi... Good job
Your app does not work with new tmail.exe included in WM build 23071 dpi 96...

Sorry, have not enought time lately... to replace tmail.exe you have to rename it to whatever you want, and only after reboot you can delete the renamed copy... but place the new tmail.exe right after you renamed the old one, BEFORE reboot the device, otherwise a new protected copy of the old one comes out.

No, its not the same: vjbrisk starts the program you linked, stop. This starts the program you linked OR the old one, based on the parameters it receives.
But, there are some situations on reboot that starts tmail with the same parameter (-service "SMS") and load the linked program on reboot (unwanted) but I have no time to check if its solvable.

Hey mate I cannot rename mine for some reason, it is checked as in rom in Total Commander and if I try rename it its either access denied or tmail.exe will just revert back straight after, does anyone know how I can remove this from a ROM or make it change its name as I have tried everything bar the latter? Thanks!

Okay I managed to resolve my problem, if anybody is wondering how, get Total commander and rename Tmail.exe (even if the file doesn't rename) get the Vijay program (this Tmail didn't work due to not being able to get the name changed) then drag the Vijay program into the Windows folder. From there rename it to tmail.exe (so know you have two) then reset the device. From there then edit the .lnk's and you now have SMS chat for your SMS (and messaging which this program can fix if anybody can change it).
I bought this SE Xperia X10 Mini pro like 3 weeks ago and I'm just trying all the ways to change its theme, I hate the factory theme, makes me so sick when I look at it eww....

or use "installer"

As far as I know ADW Launcher, doesn't change the factory theme. In fact I have it installed and I can not change the theme.

You need the frameworks-res.apk for your firmware version. If the phone doen't turn on, you will need to do a repair (Using SEUS [Sony Ericsson Service Update]), you will loose all your data but you will recover your phone.

Is there any way to connect the mobile to the computer while the mobile is switched off? Because it says I have to go to the settings to do blahblah on my mobile then it will get connected...
Yesterday contacted Vodafone they said I have to go to their shop they are not sure if they can repair it or not, do you think it's an impossible thing to repair?

Yes, you need to:
1) Install SEUS
2) Connect your phone to the PC
3) press and Hold "BACK key" until green light turns on.
4) Follow the steps to repair.
Trying to delete applications I completely kill my phone and I could bring it back with that procedure.
Any launcher application won't change the theme (color and icons). For android 1.6 you change manually the color, takes little time. First root your phone, then get (use pull command) the framework-res.apk from System/framework folder. open the apk file with 7-zip or winrar and drag the all folder named like drawable*** to a temporary directory. Now change the view to thumbnails to see which folders are having images (.png). Go to those directory and pick desired file to edit. If you have good image editing software you do whatever color you need. I use .net paint because it's free and good enough for me. Once you are satisfied with the colors you just made again open the apk with 7 zip and open the particular directories to drag and drop your changes files. Done with colors.
Now use pull command for the system/app/ folder ...you get all the apk. In each of these apk you will find the drawable kind of a folder find the icon that comes on phone. Use your icon/downloaded icon, (do change the icon into 48x48) and darg and drop in the proper place of the apk. I used ireflect icons(google it).
By the way don't unzip and zip the apk file, that won't work.
Now push all the files in there respective folder and type reboot.
Now you will find there are still some apk is missing in the app folder, that is basically stored in data/app folder. But if you try to pull the whole folder nothing will come. use "ls" to view all the files and then use pull command by name. you will get it. Change the icon, install the apk just change the signing. To change the sign you need to delete META-INF folder then sign it.
You don't have to push-pull in this case just install the modified apk (before that u should uninstall the app).
Hi!
I jzt wanted to know if someone could help me with one feature that these new firmwares have. Once I turn off the screen, youtube stops playing. I really liked before that I could turn the screen off and still listen youtube in the earlier versions. I dunno if the playback gets cut off because of the new firmware or if it's a new feature in newer youtube apps, but's I'd really like to be able to listen youtube while the screen is off. Any tips? Thnx!
First off yourll have to say if your rooted or not or on a custom ROM or not.To me it sounds like your on a stock unrooted Firmware.Im rooted on Omega ROM with a youtube App that has a download feature.I can watch videaos of any lenght and the screen doesnt turn off.Also if I turn the screen off myself I can still listen to the video thats playing.
I'm on darkyrom LA4 base. Also tried resurrection rom with ICS a while back with the same result. Might hafta try something else then...

The youtube app in Omega rom is great. It is how a youtube app should be.
sent from my fingers to your face.
I believe its down to how the YouTube app is developed; No playback in background or when screen is off.
Tomorrow morning when Im not on my phone Ill upload the youtube apk from my rom.Youll need to pass it to the System/app folder with root explorer but Ill put up the instructions.Like i said at the moment Im on my phone so cant upload.
I know I said Id do it tomrrow but I cant sleep thinking about this bloody Youtube apk. so Ill do it now.Ill write a rundown just incase your not sure what to do.Coming from another ROM it probably wont install as an apk. so if it wont then do this and it will install for sure.Do it twice to make sure though
NEED:Root explorer set to RW
first backup your exsisting apk. just incase.
1.Open root explorer and select System then app and go to YouTube
2.Hold finger down on apk. untill you get a menu and select "copy"
3.Now navegate to InternalSD/data and select "paste". and your done.
Now pass the new YouTube apk. to internalSD/download
1.open root explorer go to int.SD/download and hold finger down on apk.
2.from the menu that appears select "copy"
3.Now navegate to System/app and select "paste"
4.You will be prompted to overwrite exsisting apk. so select yes and your done.
Do the second proccess twice to make sure its copied and you should now see it in the app draw.The reason both apks. go to different folders is because if you put one inside a folder where another already exsists it will overwrite so you could loose your backup or the new one.Im going to bed
Amazing, thank you so much! That apk is gonna follow me wherever I go. xD

Keep a copy on your PC too and pass it to all your ROMs so you have a good YouTube app on your phone at all times.

The YouTube apk. I put in the download folder in the internalSD so when I open root explorer I select sdcard/download and there it is.Basically you put it where you can find it(not on the externalSD) but I find this folder for me a good one to remember.Sometimes you need to do it twice in a row for it to work.If it doesnt then boot to recovery and fix permissions and wipe cache partition and see if that works.Also try androidkids way that he posted as it worked for him but Ive always done it as Ive posted.Also make sure that the YouTube app is the blue on that its meant to be.
EDIT:are you getting the message to overwrite exsisting app when you paste the new one?
Does anyone have a version of this for the latest version for youtube?
is there an updated version of this youtube which allows the screen to be off while still playing?

HELP!!
When i was running the RGUI ROM (JB) there was a fix zip to use in CWM to fix the 'Media' drain in the battery.
This worked wonders! So i just tried to flash it to my device again, except now i'm running the 'Anonorom' ROM.
It worked. Or flashed without error anyway.
The problem now is that since the reboot, the 'Fonts' have failed to be picked by my apps.
This is most noticibly with UCCW. The widget i created for the homescreen uses about 5 different fonts and its defaulted to 1 default font.
When i open the widget to change the fonts back, it tells me theres only 1 font available; "Default" and that if i want to add more then to put them in 'sd:\fonts'.
I've gone back to my file manager and checked this location and there are LOADS of fonts in there still, so its not as if they've been deleted.
Clearly this is the work of the fix_mediaDrain.zip, which i now obviously regret flashing. And WHO KNOWS what other errors i will now encounter!
So my question is, other than reflashing the ROM (which would be a pain because i've also flashed the JKay framework and other things like that, and amanaged to get the phone to my liking) does ANYONE know of a kind of UNDO fix for this fix_mediaDrain.zip that i can flash.
Obviously i dont even know if it exists,im just praying, but if anyone has any ideas i would greatly appriociate it.
I'm guessing the media scanner has been stopped, or a .nomedia file has been placed in the fonts folder.
So first check if there is a file called .nomedia in this folder and if so, delete it and reboot.
If not, then get rescan media root from play and try to enable media scanner and reboot.
Report back please

Firstly, thanks for your reply..
I've checked the location for a '.nomedia' file and no it does not exist.
I even checked 'Root Explorer' incase the file was hiddenin my regular file manager. Still nothing.
I downloaded the 'Rescan Media Root' app, which looked successful, but didnt fix my issue.
I tried a different app called 'media Rescan Lite', but that too did not fix the issue.
It's not looking good for me is it?
well the obvious path note really is to post in the Rom thread/contact dev and find out what the file does and how it can be reverted, let me know if you don't have enough posts and I will post link to your dilemma for you

I have contacted the developer of this fix to ask what it does exactly and if theres any way to undo the fix.
I have also added a post to the thread where this fix was first suggested to me in the past, incase anyone there might be able to shed some light on it..
I will post my findings once i ear back from anyone incase anyone else ever has this problem...
Thanks again.
SOLVED!!
I have managed to fix this problem!
This is going to sound RIDICULOUS but.....
I renamed the 'Fonts' folder on my sdcard slightly.
I say 'renamed', but all i did was make the filename all lowercase, creating "fonts" instead of "Fonts".
Then, IMMEDIATLY, the fonts on my widget wer back to normal..!
How very odd that this was changed by the 'fix_mediaDrain.zip' throgh CWM + reboot.
