I'm rather new to these kind of devices so please excuse the ignorance.
I have an XDA Atom Exec, I upgraded to WM6 with this site successfully.
I also would like to install HTC Home and Customizer as I like the big clock and icons, however I can't seem to find instructions on how to install them. I tried using the search function but nothing came up.
Can someone explain it to me please? Thank you.
Have you downloaded the cab files for HTC HOME and CUSTOMISER , if so just go copy them to your phone and then navigate from the file explorer of the phone to where you have pasted , and run (tap) Hope this helps.......
If you have not downloaded them ....find Ironeagles thread on this forum , to find the links
Or you can download the cab from http://www.pocketemu.com/download8.html

Carty..
Hi, thank you for trying to help.
I think the problem is that I can't run the "setup". It opens in Internet explorer just like on my PC, I downloaded another copy from Carty's site and the same thing happens. Do I need a special program to open the setup XML file?
Thanks again..

Hey Carty, I would like to ask about your Ultimate Theft protection. If I flash a new ROM, will it still be there?

describe in steps how you did your installation. we don't usually deal with xml files for installation.

Well after downloading the zip file to my PC, I unzipped it in a created folder.
Sync'd my atom exec with the PC.
Opened File Explorer from ActiveSync, opened Program files on Atom Exec and just moved created folder with unzipped file into Atom.
After opened the created file from within the device and click "setup" with the stylus.
It opens up Internet Explorer and I can only view it as a document of some sort.
Hope that makes sense
No mate , you dont have to ZIP it (you are actually zipping the cab file which runs directly on the ppc , copy the .cab file without zipping it to your PC and then run ..)
This is what you do wrong

if you will list the contents of your zip file, that would be helpful. we don't normally copy files to program files for installation.
Thank you everyone... the problem was exactly what udayrulz was describing. I merely had to just move the file over to the device and click it, instead of unzipping, create a folder etc.
Thanks again, this plugin is much easier on the eyes!
No Problem , glad it worked out
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?

The latest update I see is from April 2008, just FYI. It works fine on my HTC Touch Diamond, anyway.

how to make file "read only" on dopod u1000, i want to make certain files read only to save them from accidental deleation, so can anybody help me
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.

I can confirm that this works. Using resco explorer I changed the attributes from a read only file and then copied a text file overtop.

i tried to change the attributes using total commander and it just resets the settings right back after saving. still stuck...
ok i even tried using resco explorer. it says that its a file in the rom and it cant be deleted. and that was after changing the attributes as well. both times i also killed the running process. are you using the new rom?

I believe the key here is that he 'copied a text file overtop'.
I don't think you can change attributes or delete a rom file, just copy over it.

OK, I didn't bother checking the attributes after the change... Was up past 4 and was trying to remove both the Guardian and ssdaemon. After a success with copy over one I decided to rush and just repeat exactly what I did to the other.
I am using a1jatt's ROM -- a cleaned (not quite enough.. ) ROM of the Sprint release with Telus settings.

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.

Ok, so here's what I'm trying to accomplish.
I can't stand having the awful standard alarms/notification sounds that are provided on most WM roms, so I went and redid one. The attached file is a Windows notification sound that I've renamed and converted to work on my topaz in place of "alarm2", hence the filename.
In short, I don't want to have to use total commander winCE every time i flash and want to change that file out (I can't overwrite it using windows explorer or file explorer cuz I can't overwrite system files). So i had an idea.
I figured I'd make a .NBH file to flash to the device after I flash my rom on there that ONLY replaces that sound file with the new one (Eventually I'd like to incorporate my custom splash screens into it but that's only a thought at this point). This is where my question/problem comes in...
I've looked around on the forums for some type of "rom builder" or .nbh creator or utility, and I've found alot of things that will convert .nb into .nbh and other features, but nothing that seems to do what I'm wanting.
I'm NOT a developer really; im more of a concept person, and if I can accomplish this without having to learn a language all the better, but I'm not sure where to start with this.
Sorry about the long post, and thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
Hi,
what about using sashimi or UC? this would save you a flash...
you can automate the process. that's what i do when i flash and i want to get back the ringtones.
good luck
Use total commander. it will let you overwrite system files and files that are in use.

Yea, that's what I've been doing so far... It's still kind of a pain waiting for the Windows folder to load and then replacing it (It can take awhile)... I should've mentioned in the first post that it was an alternative to this that I was looking for, and either a .nbh file or possible a cab file, though I can't see how a cab file could accomplish this since it's replacing a system file while it's in use...
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" !!!
