Can I use a 32GB sd-card partitioned as 2x16GB?
[XPERIA X10 General] NothingCtrl:
Thanks you, this information help me alot.
[XPERIA X10 General] unimatrix725:
There are a few guides on that. Use windows or a linux based boot cd. Make 2 partitions and they must be primary fat32 (safest). It depends on the phone really. Have not used a 32GB, allot say it works fine and some out there say no. If you need exact walkthru just google it.
[XPERIA X10 General] unimatrix725:
I am not very happy with my rom right now, will be changing. But that is a good Idea to reinstall the rom. I just didnt want to wipe everything for a rom Im not real happy with. I had to get a bigger card to make a backup with. The shuffling from x10 to desktop was really bothersome.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GODZSON:
Hello all,

Wanted to share this for those with a Flyer or Evo View, I figured this out this weekend..

Movies wanting to add to HTC Watch for viewing:

You can add a movie into the folder located in the internal SD (IntSD/.data/ htcwatch/ preloads/ ) and if it has 2 names then rename it. Example: Green Lantern to Green_Lantern.mp4 If it has one name the it's just Thor.mp4

To add a poster for the film the the picture size must be 300*444 and "must" be jpeg/jpg for it to show, it also "must" be renamed the same Green_Lantern.jpg same with poster if its one name then it's Thor.jpg

I took a pic from phone to show films I added showing it works.. Enjoy!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ftorres:
Thanks, great information. Will add some movies soon.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GODZSON:
My pleasure, will continue seeing what other things we can add, create, mod on this tab...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MrS600L:
That's good, but HTC Watch doesn't work in some countries, like here in South Africa. I prefer to use Real player or CineX player to watch movies/series, & access them through the Gallery or an explorer app ;)

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ted973:
HTC new drivers Mango Rom will not allow old system apps to get root access, like TouchXplorer does not work on 4.xx above roms.So these days i found a way to make my custom rom based on htc 5.10 rom work perfect with old system apps.

Step 1

get an old htc offical rom, like 1.xx, get a htc offical 4.0x rom.dump them.copy HTCFileUtility.dll and HTCRegUtility.dll from 1.xx rom dump, and HTCProvisionDrv.dll from 4.0x rom dump.(they are both in OEM\HTC_AppDrivers)

Step 2

use the three files(modules) copied above to replace your custom rom, if u are using 4.0x rom as your base skip step 3.

Step 3

replace the ApprovedlistDB.db(in OEM\CSConn_DB) by my uploaded one.

Step 4

use OSBuilder to relloc your modules, or relloc them by yourself(just like me, cause OSBuilder is hard for me to understand how to use it:()

Step 5

package your custom rom, and flash it, then you will get a new rom that TouchXplorer and RegistryEditor(this works much faster than before) can work like charm:D

Step 6

thx DFT bring us HSPL & Julien Schapman bring us magic system tools!

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Would be awesome if there was a way to restore the old versions in-place without re-flashing the whole phone. CAB maybe? I don't think you can overwrite ROM modules any other way. I've avoided installing the latest HTC updates because I've written a couple apps that rely on the File and Reg DLLs, but that also means I don't have things like the Connected Media app working.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ted973:
if you can put files in \windows folder, and change reg key under HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\, you can make it works without flash a rom.

cause we could get drivers from htc orginal update cabs then rename them to put into \windows folder and change reg key to make these drivers load, no need to replace.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Well, if you care about this at all, you're already interop-unlocked.

If you're interop-unlocked, then you can set registry values and move files (using provxml).

So... yes, this sounds pretty exciting. Having the official HTC updates but still being able to use TouchXplorer would be awesome.

So, would it just be a matter of copying the old files under new names to the Windows folder and changing the "Dll" value of "HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\HTCFileUtility" and such? Or would something need to be done with the DB as well? I'm not sure if that can be changed on a running device.

Tell me what needs to be done and I'll create a tool to do it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ted973:
you are on the way, m8.

get drivers from htc update cab, then u'll get files not modules

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\HTCFileUtility]
"Dll"="HTCFileUtility_new.dll"

if you make new HTCFileUtility.dll work, you will have enough power to replace files.

then make your new reg drivers work.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\HTCRegUtility]
"Dll"="HTCRegUtility_new.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\HTCProvisionDrv]
"Dll"="HTCProvisionDrv_new.dll"
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nhathoa:
thanks for sharing, waiting for this method for along time. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Thanks ted. I'll update my backup (so I can roll back to working version if I need to) and go hunt down those files.

I don't think I'll need to overwrite HTCProvisionDrv, the current version seems to work just fine. In fact, if it doesn't, there won't be any way to do the overwrite. It's just the registry and filesystem drivers that were broken.

Now I'm wondering what the other HTC drivers do. There's a specific one for Connection Setup and for HTC YouTube, plus drivers for "HTCBgService" (a way to run tasks in the background, I assume) and "HTCVersionUtility" (probably not useful, but maybe?). It would be interesting to examine the APIs of those.

For that matter, it would be interesting to examine the API of things like the provision driver. It appears to have full permissions, but the DMXMLCOM.DLL library used to interface with it has a fairly limited API (no way to get the result of a provxml query, for example). Talking directly to the driver may work better.

Anyhow, off to find the correct CAB!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] WMD:
Sounds pretty awesome! New drivers in Mango with support for old apps - cool! Really hoping for a tool to do this, i've never cooked my own ROM, I solely rely on the experts for this :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Hi Ted (or anybody), do you knwo where I can get the pre-Mango HTC cabs? All the cabs I've been able to find are for the Mango HTC updates, and have the wrong versions of the files.

EDIT: Found some that might work. They aren't labeled but the datestamp is from January.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] reeg420:
Pretty sure xboxmod has a thread with all the official cabs linked somewhere on xda.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Thanks. I'll see if the files I found work. They're old enough, and are supposedly from an official update, but it's hard to be sure. Their file sizes are different from the ones in the latest update, but not by much.

The real trick, of course, is seeing whether I can install my own drivers at all or not. I know I can place files and change registry values, we just have to see if the phone will use them.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] WMD:
Any chance you would release your custom ROM? Can you make one for Trophy, only one using 5.10 version are Ansar's, your's sounds nicer! :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Well, I didn't find Xboxmod's cabs, so I'm using the ones linked in Heathcliff74's thread. Unfortunately all the reliable ones are pretty recent, so I don't think they'll work. Last resort I'll try pulling them off my phone's filesystem, but that gets weird with modules.

I've successfully broken TouchXplorer and Connection Setup, and then fixed them again. I think this constitutes progress. Next step: try some older drivers, and see if I can install them without breaking anything. If so, then I'll try updating my phone with the official HTC update, and see if it's still working. If so, I'll clean up the XAP a little and publish.

EDIT: Additional discovery: Connection Setup relies on HTCFileUtility.dll. Installing the broken FileUtility driver causes Connection Setup to complain that there's no database installed on the phone, and then quit. Now I *really* wonder what HTCConnectionSetUp.dll is used for. Also, I'm not gonna touch the Provision driver unless I have to; this testing takes long enough when every step requires a reboot. If I mess up the provision driver I'll probably need to restore the phone backup.

EDIT2: The new HTCConnectionSetUp.dll driver is several times the size of the old one, but it doesn't seem to change how Connection Setup works when I use it. In particular, it still processes CustClear.provxml.

EDIT3: Still not working, even with very old drivers (January). I have a few possible ideas as to why, but it looks like I may need to run this with drivers from my "working" phone instead of from a CAB.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
OK, I haven't been able to get this working with any of the DLLs I've been able to pull from CABs, and the DLL modules on the filesystem can't be moved, renamed, or read (ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED when I try to read one using ComFileRW.dll).

I either need the right CAB, the special sauce to make it work with the wrong CAB, or a way to extract those modules as files. I suspect it's at least partially a "special sauce" situation - the errors I get when I try using different drivers are not the same as the errors I get with the official update that breaks third-party apps trying to use those drivers.

I would *REALLY* appreciate some assistance with this. It has the potential to provide an easier interop-unlock (if the official update doesn't reset the driver DLL paths) and even if that doesn't work, it would be a big step forward for HTC homebrew. However, I know nothing about ROM assembly - not even how to extract a file from a shipped ROM. I'm trying to learn, but if somebody wants to point me in the right direction that would be a big help.

EDIT: I managed to extract the ROM module (took some doing; HTCRIE will crash at the drop of a hat if you aren't careful). I can't rebuild the file though - recmod doesn't seem to like it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] peeks20:
if you can use Provxml i have some way to replace module in \Windows dir

1.

copy this to notepad and save as File.Provxml file

2.Install DiagProvXMLv0.91

3.Use Chevron Ringtone Installer to copy .Provxml to your phone

4.Run DiagProvXML and go to " File Operations" tab , select Copy (to isoStore)

in Source Path use

and Source File use

,,

Press (+) to save ,,

and now go to provxml tab and Press Publish (disk icon) ,,

go to iso store tab and Hold press at File and select Excute ,,

restart your phone and now you can use Chevron Ringtone installer to Add File you need to \Windows\ (sure as module , and defaultcert.dat for cab sender)

Best Regard

PPJD
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@peeks20: Thanks (sort of) but your method is both overly complicated and doesn't solve the actual problem. If you're already interop-unlocked (and you have to be, to use DiagProvXML), then it's trivial to write a small app that just uses DMXMLCOM.dll to process whatever provxml commands you want. That includes copying files to the Windows directory.

The problem is that I'm not sure what file to copy, and I'm not sure it'll work even if I have the right file (I've tried multiple official files from various update CABs, and none of them have worked). There's probably either a version-matching function that's getting in the way, or a database somewhere that needs to register the new drivers (beyind just changing the path in the Dll value in the registry). Heck, maybe it's both. The point is, it doesn't work.

Now, if there's something about deploying the files using the Chevron ringtone installer instead of using pvroxml that will make all the difference, that would be cool. I really doubt it, though. The files copy just fine, and can be accessed and opened. They jut don't actually work. I get the same errors as if I point the Dll path in the registry to completely bogus paths ("Dll"="ThisFileDoesNotExist.dll").

i uploaded HTC Appdrivers from Mozart 1.32 & 4.06 update cabs, maybe you can continue your test
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Thanks, I'll give them a try. However, I've got to ask - what is Approvedlist.db, and if you have to modify it for a custom ROM, would I also need to modify it for this app? I can't shake the feeling that there's more to installing a driver than just changing a registry value.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ted973:
hard for me to explain this in english, this file decides which Registry keys allow apps to change.its format changed in 5.xx rom, so RegistryEditor v1.2.0.0 didn't work on these roms, we need to use old version HTCRegUtility & HTCProvisionDrv and old format ApprovedlistDB.db to make htc apps and 3rd Registry tools works perfect, that's why you need to replace ApprovedlistDB.db.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Thanks, ted973. It sounds like it controls permissions for the registry, then? Also, if I already have working HTCFileUtility, I shouldn't need to modify it even if I install an older one - it should just keep working, right?

I really wish I could find the files that are actually currently on my phone - none of the CABs have had that exact file size. If I could get those working, I'd then try installing the HTC updates and see if they still worked. As it is, though, I can't get any installed drivers to work at all, yet.

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

OK, I'm attaching my source code and XAP file for people to take a look and see if they can figure out what's going on or what steps I'm missing. It's a pretty simple app - two buttons. The first one copies the files from the install directory of the app into the Windows directory, and then sets the registry values. The second button reverses this process (restores registry then deletes files). After pressing either button, you'll need to reboot before it takes effect (a MessageBox will remind you).

This version applies 4 files, including HTCFileUtility (the one I've found important for Connection Setup and TouchXplorer) but not HTCProvisionDriver (because if you mess that one up, you won't be able to restore the phone without a full backup). The files currently bundled in the XAP are from the 1.32 CAB posted earlier (dated 28 Feb 2011). In this version, it uses the SelfRegister optional parameter. This doesn't seem to have any effect - it works no better or worse when I added it. No idea if these drivers are supposed to be self-registering COM servers or not. If you remove it from either the Install or Restore operation, be sure to remove it from the other too. MSDN reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/embedded/gg155022

Things to watch out for:

The XAP is in the bin\Debug folder.

This app will only work on an HTC WP7 phone. It's been tested on my HD7.

This app requires ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES. Don't try it on an interop-locked phone.

This app does not require Mango. Maybe it works better on NoDo. Maybe it breaks something badly. I don't know.

This app should work after the official HTC updates. This has not been tested, though. If you run it on a phone with those updates (TouchXplorer not working), TouchXplorer is supposed to work after installing the drivers and rebooting. However, on my phone, this isn't happening.

The restore button works. If it doesn't seem to work the first time, try again and then restart (again). If it's still not working, you can get your phone back like it was by manually removing the "_new" part of the Dll value of each HKLM\Drivers\Builtin\<DriverName> registry key (and then rebooting).

If you do something, and it gives you an unexpected error, please tell me what you did and how to reproduce it, and give me the full report on what happened (error message, phone behavior afterward, etc.)

If somebody could *please* help me make this work, I and the rest of the community of HTC WP7 users would be extremely grateful. Thanks!

Its been discussed a number of times in various battery related threads. The issue is that you end up killing a lot of tasks the phone needs, so it has to restart them all the time, which is less efficient than leaving them running. If you have a rogue app draining your battery becuase it isn't shutting down there are better ways to deal with it.

Do you have KEIS installed on your computer, if so make sure you kill all KEIS processes in process manager, Odin doesn't like KEIS.

Better still uninstall it and just leave the drivers on your pc.
