Anyone find this problem, my File Explorer not response when I try to copy or delete some file. Onely End task can stop that error, event i make soft reset still come error again.
Thanks
I have a similar problem...
However, for mine, when I copy and paste a file, the "hourglass" keeps going and going and going. After a while I just press the X and close the application.
When I open it again the file I was moving is moved and everything is where it should be (ie. copy and paste was successful)
I've got the I-mate 1.72 rom

Same problem as yours... The problem doesn't exist if using third party explorer.
I have another problem which made me decided to hard-reset it: Whenever I install an apps or game, I could not find the newly installed program shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs or \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games, I would need to soft-reset my device to make it appear.
I know how to resolve this problem
first goto Start---Program---AutoConfig-- then change network you want or leave default your system will running smooth again.
DON"T WORRY, your data will not lose.
Thanks
Actually, there is an awesome program you can use instead of the MS File Explorer. I just installed this because of these headaches, works good!
https://www.handango.com/PlatformPr...&order=desc&catalog=30&txtSearch=File+Manager
Some reasons
1. No compatible new fonts (may be for dictionary) with File Explorer
2. No compatible new themes (ppc2002) with File Explorer
Solution
Delete new font from windows/fonts
Back to theme windows default then soft reset
I've just recently upgraded from wm2003 to wm2003se from zeroextreme's ROM. I've noticed that there isn't no Microsoft Reader in the basic apps installed. I then downloaded the installer of Microsoft Reader for PPC. What I would like to do is for it to be included in the basic apps to be installed after a hard-reset. How do I do this?

Add this command line into your Config.txt file of your Extended ROM.
CAB: \Extended_ROM\msreader_arm.CAB
Download the attachment, unzip and place the cabinet file within into your Extended ROM folder.

I can't seem to edit / change the config.txt file in the Extended ROM. I tried editing it from the Extended ROM and Pocket Word prompts me with this:
"No storage memory available
Tap Cancel, use File Explorer to delete some files, and try again. Or, move the note to an alternate storage location.
Tap Discard to close the document without saving changes"
I then tried to copy the config.txt file to a different folder (i.e. My Documents) and edit it from there. After doing this, I tried to overwrite the config.txt in the Extended ROM with the new config.txt and it says:
"Action Failed
Cannot overwrite file 'config.txt'. The media is write protected.
Press 'Yes' to continue."
extrom unlocker
try this to unlock/unhide your extrom and edit/cook as well.
Re: extrom unlocker
:lol: harhar.. got it.. thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for posting a copy of the CAB file! I had to replace my phone and the new one wouldn't sync. I was getting desparate because most of my books are in .lit format - beginning to go through withdrawl symptoms. And the MS Reader for PPC only loads through the Mobile Device Center. I've been scouring the 'net trying to find some answer that works to fix the problem and coming up with nothing effective. With this CAB, I don't need to sync. Thanks again!
Quite an ancient thread, I hope I'll get some answers...
This CAB does not work on my WinCE 6.0 handheld with ANYKA CPU.
Most of the CAB I download do not work. Only CABs found in MioPocket package work.
Why?
MioPocket contains MS Reader too, already "installed", but upon starting it complains about internal error 010, which afaik means "messing fonts".
So where do I get missing fonts from?
I have been reading lots of posts on the forum and got so far but now I'm stuck.
I have an XDAII and have managed to unlock and unhide the extended rom. now I can access the extended rom while XDAII is in the cradle.
I understand how I can add cab files to it and will be using the configcreator tool to edit the config.txt file.
The problem I have is; all the pockekpc software I have, is on my computer and I have only ever installed it through activesync the normal or official way. When ever I have tried to put the files directly on my phone and click on them I always get the messeage this is not a valid pocket pc application..... or something like that.
So how do I convert the software files I have on my computer to cab files so I can include them in the extended rom? :shock: ? :?:
To most of you guys this must seem like a nuby question sorry :roll: , but I can't seem to find the answer on the forum.....
Is there a tool I can use or a program that I can use to make useable cab files?
Also just a though when I install programs via activesync does my computer convert the files to cabfiles and then automatically transfer them to my device? if so can I somehow copy the cabfiles from the temporary location on my computer :?:
A step by step guide would be helpfull but any help would be appreciated :?
Thanks in advance

Some 'high-end' software will leave a copy of their cab files on a specific directory (i.e. you have a choice of choosing). Those you can just go to the directory and copy it. If you do not know what I'm talking here, nevermind
Anyway, for normal simple software, they will most probably extract themselves to temporary directory. Example
C:\Documents and Settings\'yourWindowsUserName'\Local Settings\Temp\
where 'yourWindowsUserName' is your username for the PC. My guess would be, try to search for *.cab files in your temp directory (i.e. as the above dir) before you install your software. THEN, start your software installation, and do a search again on the 1st setup screen, see if you are lucky And try to do another search after you're done with the setup.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for that I'll have a go.

I managed to edit my extended rom! 8)
I was able to add the cab files from tom tom navigator 3 and it installs them perfectly after a hard reset!
The only issue I have, when I run Tom tom for the first time after a hard reset I have to keep entering the activation code. Not really a major issue more of a pain.
Wonder if anyone knows how to get it to enter the activation code automatically :?: Bat file or something :?:
This sites really helped me with my tinkering I think its about time to donate
Thanks for all the help guys

Hi :
Here after what I do with succes :
When installing the application from ActSync, you must select "Storage Card" instead deffault location to install.
Then, you have to cancel the installation process before the progress bar on your PPC's screen ends.
A dialog box will ask if you're sure to abort the process.
At this stage, you go to storage card throught your PC Explorer, and you'll find the cab file there.
You save it away.
This cab file on the storaqe card will be automatically removed when you confirm that you really want cancel the installation process on the PPC's screen.
Or...
Go to c:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync folder in your desktop and you can find there more cabs. Or simply find all the *.cab files on your HDD and you'll be surprised.
Thanks for this I will check out both methods
Does anyone know what the best freeware tool for modifying the cabfile is? and where I can download it :?:
Thanks for the help
DAZ
...
I think,that everyone here knows only WinCE Cab Manager from OCP Software. But this is commercial,but...on internet is everything...
UPDATE 12-21-08
There is some talk that you need to also install the Sdcerts cab before this process will work. Freezing the phone sucks so i would do this first. I will add it to page one.
After bricking my phone three times-I finally got it right. I have a HTC Touch Pro-nobody really explained it to me like I was a two year old-so I decided to break it down. You have to be careful or you will freeze up the phone and then be forced to hard reset. That sucks. So this worked for me. You should extract your own shellres.dll.0409.mui using rom extractor. This is not difficult if you follow these directions. All of the programs are free and I am making a zip to include them all. I included my own shellres.dll.0409.mui. The 0409 refers to the language. It is the code for English.
1. I installed the cab -icon demarrer. It makes a couple registry changes that help the process.
2. Then I used a the rom extractor to get my shellres.dll.0409.mui and copied it to the storage card you have to enter path:\windows\shellres.dll.0409.mui and save to \storage card\shellres.dll.0409.mui To install the Rom extractor You just put the Rom extractor into active sync
3. Then drag the file to the desktop of your computer use unsigner-just drag the file over the unsigner and it is unsigned
4. Then drag the same extracted file over reshacker and navigate the file to change string 321 in the shellres.dll.0409.mui to whatever you want it to say
5. Then open msigner and navigate to your saved file shellres.dll.0409.mui to resign the file
6. Then go to settings/today/items and uncheck to turn off touch flo and then copy the new file from your desktop to the storage card.
7. Install Total Commander on your device-you do this by opening it on your home computer. Then open total commander on your device and navigate to the new file shellres.dll.0409.mui-in the storage card. Then press the stylus on the shellres.dll.0409.mui file and save to clipboard
8. Then use Total Commander to search windows directory for the shellres.dll.0409.mui that is still in the phone. (If possible-rename the file shellres.dll.0409.mui.bak or if not possible press the stylus on top of the shellres.dll.0409.mui that is in the phone and selected for the drop down menue that appears-Paste Here.
9. Then soft reset. Here it is. I included everything you need in the Zip file! Here is where I started-but it is vague-great start icons in the thread though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426264
The HTC start icon is on the zip entitled shellres.192.dll
Just say thank you if any of this helps you
language codes
Your can use the file I included in the zip if you do not want to extract. just change the numbers
shellres.dll.XXXX.mui in place of the XXXX It is 0409 for english-if you want another you can use one of these codes. If you don't have an htc touch pro the file may be named shellres.dll.96.XXXX.mui
0404 CHT Chinese Traditional
0804 CHS Chinese Simplified
0405 CSY Czech
0406 DAN Danish
0413 NLD Dutch
0409 USA English
0407 GER German
0408 ELL Greek
040b FIN Finnish
040c FRA French
040e HUN Hungarian
0410 ITA Italian
0411 JPN Japanese
0412 KOR Korean
0414 NOR Norwegian
0415 PLK Polish
0416 PTB Portuguese Brazil
0816 PTG Portuguese Portugal
0418 ROM Romanian
0419 RUS Russian
041b SKY Slovak
0c0a ESN Spanish
041d SVE Swedish
041f TRK Turkish
You can also change the Start Icon which is really cool. In my touch pro it is in file shellres.192.dll under icon group 4609-
1. Download shellres.192.dll to your storage card. Use total commander to search the windows folder for shellres.192.dll
2. Press the stylus on the file and select copy to clipboard
navigate with total commander to the storage card and press the stylus there and select "paste here"
3. Use unsigner to unsign the file
4. use reshacker to open the file and navigate to "Icon Group" 4609. You will see your icon in the program.
5. Select menu "Action" and replace. Navigate to the icon you want. Select it. Save the file.
6. Sign the file with the Msigner
7. Place the file in the Storage card
8. Use Total Commander to locate shellres.192.dll and rename it shellres.192.dll.bak
9. Use total commander to find your new file in the storage card, and move it to the windows folder of your device.
10. Restart with a soft reset adn enjoy your new icon.

Can you explain one point ... ?
I tried to extract the file shellres.dll.040C.mui (french WM6.0) directly into \windows, and before modifying the file with my computer, I just re-boot the device with that change (so, just a ROM file extraction but without any modification in the file) ... and then, the device is frozen on the Windows welcome page.
Can you explain that ?

Did you follow steps exactly? You have to be careful. You can see from my screen shots that it works. I change my text every day as i feel. Did you install the icon demarrer cab?
you should also be able to navigate to the file shellres.dll.040C.mui (with Total Commander) and press the stylus on it and select copy to clip board. Then navigate to the storage card and press the stylus on a blank area and select copy here. The handheld needs the dll to work-so it is not removed from the device it is just copied.
Also make sure that your computers folders are set to view hidden files. It took me a while to get this right-and there is no step by step tutorial but the one i made here-from what I found.
Ok, but the result is the file shellres.dll.xxxx.mui in \windows
Whatever the handling, from the ROM to the SD card, to the computer, ..., the clipboard, ..., the file is finally copied in \windows
So, how can we explain that a direct extraction to \windows cannot work ?
Which operation in your process can avoid the problem ?
I don't want to modify the icon, just the text...
.. and I'm sure that works on your device, I have no doubt about that. I just would like to understand.
I also use Total Commander and it displays the hidden files.
What is the icon demarrer (french word ?) cab ? And what is the unsigner/signer method ?

The icon demmarer is a cab made by a developer. i included it, and all the necessary programs in the zip file. The cab just changes a few resgistry settings to allow this. (i believe) The file once copied to your computer can be manipulated and string value 321 changed-then compile script, save and sign. all included in the zip.
I want to know that you are able to do it, as I am.

I am having the same problem as Lewis and my device locked up twice at the windows login screen. You cannot modify the file with commander no matter what you do with your steps. There has to be something you left out. I am very good at what I do and am very far from being an ameteur

Total Commander is only used to move the file-not modify it. Follow the steps exactly. Rename the old mui to mui.back.
and install the icon demarrer cab fisrt. Turn off touch flo before. I have a Sprint HTC Touch pro with a stock rom.
The cab demarrer may be strongly needed, or/and the unsigner/signer software ?
It should be useful to know what the cab and signer/unsigner do.
Which key in the registry is concerned ?
Is ResHacker needed ? Is ROM extractor not enough ?
And mainly, why does only an extraction to \windows freeze the device after a reboot ?
I'm trying to contact the ROM extractor developer VK (a.k.a. THEVK, GreateVK)...

You have to read this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426264 Someone else made the icon dem cab. All I know is I read every page of every thread about this tweak-none was a road map-I just knew it could be done so I kept trying til I got it. I had to mod my start text from trying and reading. I finally got it with this method. the extraction alone will not freeze the phone-since the file is not removed from the windows registry. It is in fact not possible to remove shellres.dll.xxxx.mui since it is the entire shell of the phone.
Read every thread about start text
Ok, but the extraction will freeze the device if we do only this
So, this is the reason why the icon cab and/or one of the other operations avoid that.
Probably like Chosen4Goodness, I confirm that, if I extract the file and re-boot without any other change, the device is frozen...
freeze
Anxious to hear that someone other than me was able to follow these directions step by step and not freeze their device.
Don't worry, I'm probably not soo good !
or my device, or the WM version is too sensitive !
And it seems that many people succeeded ! There are a lot of evidences on this site.

I read in one thread how to change the word "Start". I tried to do it and I got a frozen device after reboot. So, a hard reset was needed. Another guy in this site got the same problem this week.
In fact, if I only extract shellres.dll.040C.mui (WM6.0 french version) to \windows\shellres.dll.040C.mui without any other change, I get the same problem.
So, maybe you can explain in more details how to do. Where to save the extracted file and to install at the end ? Is another operation needed ?

I couldn't send you a pm because you have your profile set to not accept incoming pm. Anyways, these are the steps that I follow to do this:
1. Extract shellres.dll.XXXX.mui via ROM Extractor;
2. Open it with ResHacker;
3. Look for String Table -> 321 -> Line 5120 and change this to whatever you want;
4. Hit "Compile"
5. Save the file. At this point, you will have two shellres files - one of them will have "original" in the file name. Just save that one in case you want to keep it.
6. Transfer to device via ActiveSync (USB, I haven't tried any other connection such as BT, Wifi, etc) into \Windows
7. Soft Reset your device.
How are you doing the transfer back to the device? It might be that the file is not transferring completely to the device, or getting corrupted in the process. TotalCommander, and Resco have not worked for me for this purpose. Give it a shot and see if it works.
Good luck and let me know how it turns out.
Ok, I have modified my profile.
I need a precise information about the location "Save to" in ROM extractor.
Because doing only that, to \windows\shellres.dll.040C.mui (the same file location than the ROM), is enough to freeze the device after a reboot !
So, why ?
I tried only that "simple" operation because I tried the 1st time the complete one (modify the file and transfer to the device) and I got the same problem. I believed that was due to the change in the file but the extraction is enough.
Maybe we have not to extract in \windows ?

My quesstion is why the reboot after extraction to save to \storage card\shellres.dll.0409.mui?
Also I think the last post above yours neglected to unsign and resign the file. I have fund that improper signing causes a freeze.
I know it is damn tricky since I froze mine three times, prior to doing it this way. Let me know how it goes.
I have no storage card. I reboot because I often close the device.
Could you explain the sign/unsign method ? That seems important as you say !
Which tool we have to use ?

The programs are in the zip. But I think you need a storage card. That way the Mui file is extracted to something other than the phone itself. Get a storage card and then try it. They are not expensive.
Once extracted to storage drag the file on top of the unsign icon-it will flash and that is it. It is unsigned. Then open reshack and change out the word "Start"
compile script
save
Now drag the file over the msigner.
You will have to tell the program where to find the file through the interface of the msigner program.
It will sign the file and then you will have two shellres files. One will be shellres.dll.xxxx_original.mui or something like that. That is the old file.
place the new signed file in your storage card.
then follow the rest of the directions
Ok so idk if im exactly supposed to post this here and im sorry if its the wrong place, but whenever i transfer a theme onto my phone, its in my SD card, i unplug my phone from my computer, go into my SD card folder and i cant open any of it, like its a bunch of separate files for example: "_SETUP" "0CABEAE0" and so on, but i cant open any of them to install the theme onto my phone, like they all have the windows icon for their thumbnail, anyone have a tutorial or solution to fix this, and i dont know what model my hd2 is, i got it at the end of may, so idk if that will help at all and i bought it from t mobile.

the themes you are downloading come in a ".cab" which it sounds like you are unzipping. do not do this.
simply download the .cab. move the cab onto your phone and click it to run it.
Yeah i know i need a .cab file but the only problem is, whenever i download something on this site its not a .cab file.... its usually like a xml file

May I ask witch theme you will?? I mean I have past a lot of time here on xda; and mostly (90%) of the theme installation are cab files. Maybe there is a other problem.
I think i may of fixed the problem, im downloading the themes straight from my hd2 and it gives me the cab file, but i dont exactly know all the themes that I downloaded, lets just say it was a bunch.

No problem sir, in case of; let us know.
one question tho, say i want to transfer it onto my phone via computer, should i put the winrar file directly into my sd card or should i extract the files out of it into a folder and put the folder into the sd card?

You have different way sir;
A) you transfer the cab file to SD and navigate with your mobile device to the cab file, press on it and install (select always internal memory as installation path fore themes)
B) You unpacked the cab file (by using a cab program; don't extract cabs with Winrar/Winzip/7Zip, it will not work) in a folder somewhere on your PC; and you use CFC-GUI fore trans-fair it to your device.
Cab programs:
- Payable; WinCE CAB Manager
-Freeware; Cabwiz, QuickCab 1.0
CFC_GUI

Okay, i think i will just stick with the way im doing it now haha, thank you for helping though.
