IN the windows folder on my touch dual, there is a certain file, which I want to modify. However, this file is read-only. I've installed total commander on my device (the latest beta version, but also tried it with a previous non beta version) to change the read-only attribute. but without any result. I also tried it with SPB pocket plus 4. I'va also tried to change the attribute with altap salamander from my pc, but somehow the file is still not writable. Am I the only one with this problem and is there a sollution to fix this?
the file I'm trying to modify is HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml, in which the cities are listed that will be used in the weather plugin on the today screen.

As I mentioned above, I've tried it with total commander and failed. Tonight, I've tried it with resco Explorer and at first I failed to find the file. I seemed to be hidden. When I found the option in Resco to unhide hidden files, the file showed up. And again, I can't remove the read only attribute with resco explorer. In resco there's also an attribute rom checked, which I haven't seen before in any other program. I can't uncheck it. Might that be a problem? I hope someone can help me out here, for the "normal" touch, it was possible to just uncheck the read-only attribute.

U want modify HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml right ???
Just copy it to your computer.Modify as u want in PC.Go to Windows Folder use Resco explorer unhide HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml original in your phone and copy HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml change to it.
Good luck
I can't overwrite it, since it's read-only. Which attribute I can't remove somehow.
yeah ive experienced this also!cant seem to overwrite the files in windows folder.dont know of a solution though!
After a few attempts, I succeeded in copying a modified H_0409_WeatherCities.xml over the original with reco explorer. So now I only have dutch cities in the list for the weather plugin. THe only thing is, that the cities I added my self (Delft and Nootdorp) are not working somehow. Does any one know if other cities, that are not in the default list are blocked by any party? (HTC or accuweather.com?)
Try this
Get the file off the device.
Modify it,
Run enableRAPI to give yourself manager role (A belive this is what it does, it has all the same effects as manager role)
Then copy the file back.
The problem is that you are not on a high enough teir in the security setup of the device.
This is why DM servers such as intellisync can overwrite any file it wants, as it automatically assume OEM role.

I found Total Command(er) on the Gishler website.
The latest updates are from June 21, 2005 . This seems rather old.
Is this the wrong program or have the programmers done such a good job, no updates were needed since then?

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.

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)

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
Hi all,
In my previous Sprint Mogul ROM, I can safely remove HTC_CM_Guardian.exe and sddaemon.exe by going to \Windows\Startup folder. This is per recommendation from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334536&highlight=htc_cm_guardian.exe
These 2 files created havoc in my previous ROM, including slow connection and short battery life.
However, with the new Official Sprint ROM (which enable GPS) function, I can NO longer remove it because:
1) It's no longer shown in \Windows\Startup folder
2) It's not shown anywhere in the Registry
3) Moving the file to a temp folder (Storage Card) somehow recreate the file.
Any suggestion?
What if when you moved the file to the temp folder, you created a folder or blank text file in the /Windows directory with the same name as the guardian.exe? that might prevent it from recreating itself and starting up.
Or try copying/pasting a blank text file of the same name into /Windows and overwrite the exe

I did, but I found out the file is a ROM file, so it's protected. I can copy to a Storage Card, but deleting or replacing it with a bogus file (I created a text file with the same .exe name) will give error that the file is protected.
In the past, I leave the actual .exe alone but just removed the startup shortcut in \Windows\startup. But I could not find any references in the Startup folder or Registry on how the file is started.

I've tried Resco Explorer and it won't allow for a deletion of the .exe either.
So the file cannot be deleted. Anyone know how the file is loaded everytime the device reboot? note that it's NOT loaded from \Windows\Startup nor registry.
I was wondering the same thing. It doesn't even show up as a running task or service...
I just made a new connection and set that as my new default one as I was tired of it removing my DNS entries.
are u sure it boots up or the could have renamed it
Yes, it started by itself. I reset my device and using Memaid and SKTool I can see it starting again.

hard reset (so you'll lose everything) then DO NOT let customizations run!!!!
it won't be installed. if you need something else from the extROm you can enable it and selectively install cabs.

I am looking for the file explorer.exe that allows you to delete files from the rom. It was posted awhile back and I just recently lost due to a HDD crash. I believe is was included in one of the old WM5 roms but was also posted as a download also. I used to drag it to the Windows Directory and actually overwrite the built in explorer. I have searched and searched and cannot find it. Can someone please help....
Thanks
try resco explorer, it lets you overwrite the rom BUT it is a commercial program and requires registration. I believe a trial version is available.
Thanks I own that also. But the one I was referring to was created by someone on here. I thought it was Dr. Putt but I could be wrong. I just dragged the file over to the windows directory and it overwrote the windows file explorer. I have to keep looking. But that you for the response.....
Rob
I also only use Resco, but I recall hearing that TotalCommander could do what you're looking for. Not sure if TC is free or commercial, just chiming in...
if you dont want the original file explorer, why dont you just delete the .ink file out of startmenu? this will remove the old explorer icon from programs menu.
It's not that I don't like it there. The version I am refering to actually let you delete things stored in the rom. With resco thanks for all your suggestions though!
If you do run across it drop me a line....
Thanks
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 !

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
Hi,
Since ES File Explorer's last update (via Google Play), a weird folder named "dianxin" appeared on my phone's internal memory.
After some researches, I found out:
-Dianxin is a chinese custom rom (which is weird because I have a stock rom and no root)
-ES File Explorer's last version is causing its apparition (some XDA Developpers' member said it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/help/dianxin-folder-t3346358/post66082381#post66082381)
I looked into my father's phone who also use ES File Explorer and that folder was present.
Does anyone has any info about that? I think it's extremely suspicious, plus, that app is used by loads of people (2 millions users).
Should I use another File Manager?
Same here, after installing the latest version of ES File Explorer earlier this morning the dianxin folder appeared, I tried deleting it only to have it reappear hours later, extremely frustrating and suspicious. If you read some of the latest reviews left on the Google Play Store, you'll notice that a few have also spotted this and some have even said that their AV flagged the latest version of ES File Explorer as a threat. I immediately uninstalled ES File Explorer and did a soft factory reset, and haven't seen the folder since, I'm now reluctant to reinstall ES after this, I'll just have to wait for further explanation on this or use a different file manager instead :/ I'm wondering how this even got through the approval process at all, hopefully someone can shed some light on this :/

I also use ES File Explorer and this folder "Dianxin" shows up .. It is suspicious because i search the folder name and the result is it is a chinese custom rom I think it is a malware I delete it and It didnt show up again by now
I've checked into that dianxin folder and I found 2 files: the 1st one is an .0 file but I couldn't open it as other .0 files I've tested.
The 2nd one is named "journal" and I could open it with a text editor:
"libcore.io.DiskLruCache
1
1
1
CLEAN e8dd70db5163eccfbe80f53c786ae2a2980"
Any idea what it could be?
Nexus 6 here, not rooted and stock, latest version of ES Explorer and no dianxin folder on my device.
I have it again on my stock G2 with latest ES, after deleting it yesterday.
Same here dianxin folder present.
I've uninstalled this crap app ES explorer
Go to ES File Explorer settings menu - tap on "Notification Settings" - Uncheck "Notify me of app permissions". And then deleted the Diaxin folder. Reboot your devices.
I've had the same problem ... & I have never set App Notifications on. I simply found an earlier version archived online & installed it. Hopefully ES will fix the problem, but until they do, please don't update.

It was already unchecked and it doesn't prevent from creating the dianxin folder
let it alone..its nothing much..
if u don't feel safe then use other explorers..
Nothing much? It's kind of suspicious and nobody knows what this folder does on the internal memory
I signaled to google, I contacted the developers, I wrote a bad review explaining the situation and I wrote a thread here. I think it's everything I can do. I'll try other file managers till we have an answer

Hmm oke. I found new permissions in latest version about dianxin (attachment) and some other permissions about baidu server..
Im still used ES for now, cause im not sure this is a malware or what.
You can try to used any app for kill that unwanted permissions, if you really want to still using ES.
Just opinion
Thanks, I was trying other file managers when I finally got an answer from the developers:
"Hi, Thanks for your concern. As you may noticed that, in order to keep contact with users, we add message box page at the homepage, and dianxin folder is where cache files store. In the next version, we will move this folder into .estrongs. In case you are interested, dianxin is dessert in Chinese. Greeting from team."
False alarm it seems

I don't think that only using the same name is enough to say the ES team put a malware in their file explorer. But the thing *is* suspicious. What troubles me most is that if they put this folder into .estrong folder, nobody would notice, malware or not. As for me, it's quite the time to uninstall ES file explorer and look for something different, as they are integrating too many useless (for me) features; some of them (like new home-page and new app installation notification) are also annoying.
Hi,
I have some serious information concerning e-file manager but am new here. Although I have visited many times over the last several years, I can't post links yet. Google Citizens Lab,Baidu browser, and there is one short report, but you want the indepth analysis which is ten times longer. Half way down that report is the relevant information on all EStrong products. Look up my profile if you need help.
Edit:
Finally I can post a link to the research on Baidu and also concerning ES File explorer as well as a boat load of other apps using Baidu analytics or ad SDKs. Over 500 apps in playstore had one or more.
https://citizenlab.org/2016/02/privacy-security-issues-baidu-browser/
Read the whole report, and the response from Baidu which is a three page PDF listed in the article.
bye, ES file manager

I am totally with you on this. as a long time ES file manager Pro user, I'm done with them. This little thing is enough to cause me to dump their product, which has been implementing features that detract from my usability. It may seem like nothing much, but I don't need my file browser to contact a Chinese server to tell me what's going on with my files. Nothing much is what Estrongs is going to get from me now.
Also, as an android developer of a major product, you'd think that EStrong would be visible in this forum to address concerns.
So even Es file manager PRO has these annoying features... unbelievable! In these days I'm giving Solid Explorer a try, but there are many other alternative apps, like Fx File Explorer, Cabinet, Amaze, and many other.
New "feature" !!!!!!!!!!
"charging boost" !!!
