I have a large number of incorrect words in my HD2's dictionary. How do I go about deleting them, without hard resetting my phone?
Thanks,
David
http://samsamuel.co.uk/news.php?id=7
could be useful?
Thanks, but that seems to be a list of words added by HTC to the dictionary. I've added a bunch of words spelt incorrectly, like yoy for you etc. Where are those words stored? Any ideas?
have you tried et9mywords.exe? its been a while since i used winmo but im pretty sure you can use it to remove words as well as add them. (thats why i posted that link, to point you to et9mywords and HTCMDB.txt because theyre the two things i know of related to custom words.)
Unfortunately I don't seem to have that program on my HD2. Could be the ROM I'm running. Could I download it maybe?
it should be in the windows folder, and its possibly hidden, so you would need to 'show all files' (i think)
As for download, not sure if it needs any reg enttries, but heres the exe
I copied the file to the \windows directory, and it did run ok, but it didn't pick up any of my added words. I think you may be right, in that it is missing a registry entry. Any ideas?
nah sorry, not without a running rom to examine. Have a look in that txt file i mentioned, could be they get written to there, its all a bit of a hazy memory.

It seems like...we can all easily build ROMs....if you're in here, you're diggin in with dcd....
What we need is a list of OEMs that people can add into their ROMs.
For example...I found Arcsoft MMS: 4.2.8.1 OEM.
Go grab it here:
http://sudermatt.com/files/Optional_MMS_4281_10-29-07.zip
Simply unzip and drop it into the OEM folder....
Be aware...you'd better know your Carrier MMS Settings before attempting this one......

actually, if youre using it with my kitchen, the carrier packages should do the mms configuration for you. I've not tested 4.2.8.1 (i dont have vzw) but I was told it worked right off the bat.
It didn't for me....I had to dig around for a posting that gave the right settings.

Of course....with OEMizer....I can easily create an rgu file with the settings built into the OEM I make and Cook in!

I will work on this. 3.0 and 4.2 must use different keys.
is there a cab for this version?
Here are some of the OEMs I use in my personal build...
Here is my mortscript OEM.
This binds the voice dialing key to a mortscript of mine for toggling the cellular data connection. Holding button 5 will connect if disconnected, or will disconnect (and disable) if connected. Script is included.
I use it to shut off cellular data at home, which is the only way ive found to make activesync use wifi for connecting back to mail2web.
Hi, how do you build an OEM, to insert in a rom? I would like to add aim 2.0 and a few other files
DCD, is there a OEM for HTC Home that you used to include in your custom versions? The one that has the today-settings panel?
idenkilla,
Believe me...it's not drag and drop...you have to dig in and get your geek on.
OEMizer is an app (search for it) that seems to help the process. I haven't really used it yet to turn cabs or other folder apps (those that do not require installation), into cookable OEM folders. It looks like it will work. I hope to have some time this weekend (its raining all weekend in LA) to play with it.
I will put up some sort of tutorial when I get it figured out. At least covering the simple stuff I understand.
I'm no programmer. I dabble. My big brained friends say, things like, "you know just enough to really 'f' things up" "you code works...unintelligable...but it seems to work".
Go into one of the OEM folders in the kitchen. Find one that is pretty simple that you have a good idea what the app is about. Look at the Option.xml file. Open the rgu file in notepad.
In OEMizer, do something really simple, like owner information, and build the OEM....look at it....you'll see what's going on....
What I don't really get is, the folder apps....I will have to tinker

Hmm, I couldn't get 4.2 to work on mine even using the settings for the 6700. I wonder what is different for you as compared to mine?
I can't remember all the steps I took....but here goes
The mms app only had one connection listed.
In the Registery, it was listed under some directory.
I remember seeing the registery directory "test" having the verizon settings...I modded those to match what the post said.
I copied "test" into the same directory as the default one.
Then I had to change a registry entry to show 2 connection settings in the application
Then I changed another registry entry to indicate which was the default connection I wanted to use.
Then I added a registry entry for my phone number.
Then I think it started working....
I cooked another ROM last night, so I have to redo all this stuff...I'll walk thru the steps again and repost.
But THIS time....I'm going to put it all down and use OEMizer so I don't ever have to do it again.
I'm really starting to see a LOT of value in that application....
working on integrating all my favs as oems into dcd's but I still have a way to go i suppose... keep getting the registry building errors.... blah
registry build error means you have non-unicode text in a reg file you edited somewhere. Make sure to open and save the file that causes the error with microsoft word, and save as, text, unicode encoding... That should eliminate those errors. a lot of text editor say they are saving as unicode, but don't stick strictly to the standard.
PackageCreater Rulez!

Actually, there is an app out there which pretty much does make it drag and drop.
Search on this site for the phrase "packagecreator". It was originally written and posted in one of the other forums here (i think the last version was 5.4).
It will open a cab, and export it and all of it's keys into a neatly written OEM folder. It even has the ability to mass-rename files in an OEM to avoid name conflicts when cooking.
This little beauty has worked for me on well over 99% (I can't claim 100% because I'm sure there's something out there that didn't work) of the OEMs I've created.
I find the program to be almost as valauble as the kitchen itself.

dcd1182 Thanks for all the work on this I have question about the oems you posted. I just started to play with the kitchen and when I add the HTC_XButton2_0_30995 the BuildOS gives me this error.
The file 'temp\dump\testsearch.bmp' already exists.
After doing some research it looks like the file is in both the HTC_XButton and AdobeReader is it ok to just delete one of them and try to run the BuildOS again?
Thanks,
dolivas

They are the same picture, it's fine to delete one, but this is a bug in buildos that should be fixed, it should prompt the user to keep existing, rename, or overwrite...

Package creator 5.4 works great, I've been using it for quite a while creating my OEM's. I use this combined with Mobile Registry Editor to extract stuff from the registry to put into the OEM so I don't have to keep setting stuff up every time I flash. For instance I have Slingplayer mobile in an OEM all configured and ready to go.

Hi all,
I love this forum, but I must admit I feel in way over my head.
I bought a modded xv6800 on eBay and I absolutely love it. It has Scott's ROM pack, WM 6.1, and iContacts. I, however, have never actually modified any phone successfully (the reason I bought it already done.)
I don't especially care for iContacts. I would prefer to use whatever contact manager came with the phone originally, but I can't seem to delete iContacts.
To delete iContacts, I have gone into "Remove Programs", but it is not on the list. I have found two instances of it in My Device>Windows, but neither one has the option to delete (it is greyed out for both of them when I tap and hold on them.)
Additionally, I have found what looks like the icon for the Windows contact program. When I tap on it, though, it reverts to iContacts.
Sooo... that's my question. How to get rid of iContacts?
Thank you!
You can't uninstall it like that. It's an OEM file, which means it came built into the operating system. The only way to remove it would be to download his kitchen and remove it from the selected items. Then it should use the default contacts program.
BTC
I wouldn't recommend trying to remove iContacts, since it's in the ROM, as bill said.
However, you can switch back to the default contact manager with a registry edit. No need to reinstall.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS]
"1"=":MSPOUTLOOK contacts"
Basically, download a registry editor and change the value of this REG_SZ registry entry to the one above. Leave off the quotes. Double click on the current registry entry and change the following value:
"Windows\iContact.exe"
to this value:
:MSPOUTLOOK contacts
Feel free to PM me if you need more help with this ROM.
(Mods -- please move if you think should is in the wrong place)
One thing that bothers me about TouchFlo3d is the huge amount of files all stuffed into the "windows" folder. Is it possible to install to a different location? Wouldn't this greatly increase overall performance, since the (already huge) number of files in the windows folder would be reduced? Have any cooks tried this with their ROMS? Or, is it not even possible? I have searched as best I can but I have not found anything regarding this, nor any cabs/zip archives that will allow for installing Manilla to an alternate location.
It just seems to me that this would keep things neater and more organized in the file system, if it is possible. Or, am I just completely off-base on this?
It's not easy task - you have to hex edit Manila .exe files to set new path. Then you have to make a cab to move all 1000+ Manila files to new folder - but still increase of perfomance will be questionable

possible I've done it already I've even reduced the files from 1200+ to 600+ to speed up reading in \Windows folder.
The thing is, if you move the installation to another folder, existing cab modifications to manila need to be "re-cabbed", or the user needs to modify the cab itself before applying it. Only geeky guys would do this, and not the casual or silent flashers of ROMs. This would in turn have more newbie posts asking why the cab is not working etc., etc.

Ah, good point. Still, it would be nice if there was an easy way to handle this. i.e., is the "manila install path" stored anywhere in the registry which the cabs could reference? I guess not, sounds like its all hard-coded to use /windows. Anything we can do to reduce the contents of the Windows folder certainly can't hurt anything, and manila is the biggest offender for sure...

in any case, the manila files need to be cooked for better speed, and cooks are forced to use \Windows anyway as all files that are cooked are by default being put in there.

not always
The manila stuff really should be left there since it doesnt relly take up a HUGE ammount of space anyways, shame theres so many files though.
I have a question about WinMo / Batch files
I want to keep 'certain' images in one folder, along with 2 batch files
show.bat
hide.bat
If hide.bat is executed it converts all the file extensions (.jpg) to .895 (or anything random)
If show.bat is executed it reverses the process.
Where as this entire process is working flawlessly on the PC the batch files do not execute on Winmo, what is the way around?
I feel this should be the easiest way to hide unwanted content when you leave your phone unattended around home or work OR worse, give it to your partner to play with
thanks

P.S. - if there is already a utility that does that please let me know!
have a read up on mortscript.

Methinks someone is trying to keep their Pr0n hidden ....
Mortscript is your way to go ....
but there are , I know I've seen them in action , just don't know what it is called, a program that keeps an encrypted file store on WM that can only be access with a pw.
I know a little off base from your question but .........

I've been trying for the last couple of days to solve an issue (it's not really a problem) that has been irritating me for a while. The issue is that everytime i flash a new rom i have to spent a coupe of hours after configuring everything again. Now, I use the 6.5.x tree of NRGZ28's energy rom series, specifically the standard variant and i want to create some scripts that will automatically setup things like my exchange server, hotmail, opera user-agent string and wifi. I already have a script that is supposed to work for exchange (not tested it yet) and one for the wifi. The wifi one just doesn't work but i've just done some reading and i think i know why (More on that in a mo). So, i was wondering, has anyone tried this already? If so do you have the scripts that are needed or know where i can find them?
Now, back to the wifi script. The reason i believe it doesn't work is because it would appear that the wifi has to be on for the WLAN driver to accept the new configuration. Now when you install a new rom, as most of you will know, the wifi is turned off and those of you familiar with the energy rom series will know that xda_uc runs right after first boot allowing no time for the wifi to be enabled manually. So, i was thinking, is it possible to write some code that will enable the wifi at first boot so the configuration script will successfully modify the wifi configuration?
Thanks for your thoughts in advance guys and girls.
Have a look in the FAQ for the ROM and there is post for sample scripts. I used them last night and got hotmail and exchange working. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7333558&postcount=19477
Check the FAQ - each time I re-read it I figure something else out.
lol and there was me thinking it would be a lot harder. i always skip past the faq because 9 times out of 10 they are always filled with things like "How do i flash a rom" etc but i do still have a feeling it's not going to cover all my questions, things like can i write some code to enable the wifi at first boot or some other things i haven't meantioned like can i write a script that will automatically configure omarket with my login details.
I want to go all out on this and have it set up so i have to do as little manual configuration as possible so some code samples and/or further pointer would be really handy.
Just had another look at the faq and found i already had the xml generator listed in the energy addons page. One small problem... I have no idea what the hotmail server configuration is. Any clues? if not i will google it later.
Got my hotmail script. No idea if it works, guess i'll have to test it at some point.
I'm still looking for info on how to enable the wifi at first boot. Although at this point i am open to suggestions on different methods that could be used.
I am also a little disappointed. i thought this one had more legs to it. oh well, you can't always get everything you want i guess.
Just a litlle update. I got the wifi to take the settings without turning it on. Well i say i did it when really it just seemed to work. i think it might have somethig to do with some new drivers that were cooked into the rom i use.
I dropped the hotmail script because i do actually use windows live fair often and i ended up with 2 hotmail email accounts in the email tab but with a couple of tweaks i did get my exchange settings script to work like a dream.
I'm now looking into setting the phone identity using a reg file. I gave it a go using a script i picked up but instead of doing what it was supposed to it just stopped the windows and HTC sms clients from working correctly and i can't figure out why (it caused the phone to create several undeleteable sms messages). I'll post the code at the bottom. I'm also wondering if it is possbile to have a script that will copy files (ringtones specifically) to the right location. I think XDA_UC will do this if you create the directory structure in a folder in the XDA_UC folder on the sd card (hope you followed that one). Can anyone confirm that? I also created a script to configure quickgps but that didn't seem to work, i'll post the code for that too.
I'm still wondering if it would be possible to configure the opera user agent string using some form of script or reg file and it would be really nice if i could something similar with BSB tweaks, agps, HTC location service and pretty much everything else tbh. So if anyone has any scripts, reg files or cab files they wanna share i will certainly welcome them and i'm sure that many others will too.
Anyway, to posting those reg files:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident]
"Name"="Lucifer"
"Desc"="HTC HD2"
"OrigName"="Lucifer"
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\QuickGPS]
"auto"=dword:00000001
"actSync"=dword:00000001
"ExpiredTime"=dword:00002760
"remind"=dword:00000001
Check this out for reference [XDA_UC][UC][SASHIMI][S4X] S4X_Auto & S4X_Backup [AUG.10.2010] XDA_UC Mods & Answers
id some looking up on the device name thing and found this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa924188.aspx seems my reg key was a little wrong.
I've also managed to create a cab file that will install my ringtones and then setthem with all related options as the defaults. I know it's not very impressive but it's a step in the right direction. I think i may have a look at exporting the bsb tweaks settings later and see how that goes.
Oh one question: i have been looking for an .reg to xml converter but my google results all seem a little vague and i don;t know if can trust the programs i'm finding. Has anyone got any suggestions?

I don't think you need to convert reg to xml. Just leave the .reg files in the XDA_UC directory and it should run automatically.

No, you're right. I have no idea what i was thinking.
Another little update. I have working reg files for opera ua string and quickgps. I've decided not to bother with bsb tweaks because it's so easy to setup but being able to preconfigure windows live would be cool. Also being able to preconfigure agps would be nice
