[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angelos_cy:
I try to create a program which consists of

.asx files (to show online tv channels),

.lnk files (shorcuts to the .asx files) and

a .dll file which contains only some .ico files (icons of the tv channels).

I added all these files to a cab using WinCE Cab Manager and tried to install it on my ppc. So far so good. The problem occurred when the message “The program can not be installed. Choose another location” appeared during installation, just after the process bar was filled.

Although I have no idea about computer programming, I have created many cab’s with WinCE Cab Manager for skins I have created for several programs. Anyway, I realized that the problem occurred due to the .dll file, since this is the first time I add such a file in a .cab.

I created my .dll file using a .dll from another program which had only icons in it, as well. I deleted them using Restorator 2007 and I had an “empty” .dll sized 4KB. Then I added my icon files using XN Resource Editor.

I searched the Internet to see what might be the problem with the .dll and I found out that I have to “register” my .dll file. I really have no idea what this means but it needs to be done. I also found an option in WinCE Cab Manager for “self-registering” file, but it didn’t work either.

So, the question to you dev guys is how can I register my .dll file, or should I create it from the beginning with another way?

Please help! Thanks in advance!

sorry to repost but it seems that posts keep coming in this forum and this thread is already in the second page and I'm afraid that noone will see it and reply to it. By the way, is there any special sub-forum for such questions?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NilsP:
This may help. I use his instructions to edit existing DLL's

http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-...88904/lisbian-taskbars-for-i910/#entry1023568

It will unsign the dll which will probably fail on your custom dll but it should sign it when you are done editing.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angelos_cy:
NilsP

Many thanks for your suggestion but unfortunately it didn't work for me. :(

As you said, this is mainly for resigning already signed .dll files.

Any other help will be appreciated. I can attach it here if anypne is willing to help. Or just tell me the way. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 6Fg8:
I deploy a few dll's with my app, without any problem. If the installer complains about the location, what did you specify where it should go?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Da_G:
There are 2 approaches to solve this problem:

1.) If you have a private key to match a certificate in the device's certificate store, sign the .dll and .cab with this private key and it will be installed with elevated privledges, and be successful. To facilitate this you can install the "SDK Certificates" - and sign with the matching private key (you should be able to find these on a search, term "SDKCerts" or similar)

2.) Look for an "Application Unlocker" or other security reduction tool, run it, and you should be able to install the cab. On this note, if you check here, it will give you a more technical overview of the security policies. You want to change 4101 / 0x1005 to "SECROLE_MANAGER" (8) - which tells the system to install it with elevated privledges. Also make sure 4102 / 0x1006 is set to 1 to allow unsigned applications. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angelos_cy:
6Fg8

I don't believe that is the location I specified that causes the problem because when I deleted the .dll file from the .cab, it was installed properly. How do you create your dll files? With programming or you just edit existing files? If I send you my .ico files, will you be able to create the .dll file for me? :o

Da_G

Thanks but both approaches seem very complicated for me! :eek:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angelos_cy:
So, will I need Visual Basic in order to do this or is there any easier way? Can anyone sign the dll for me?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 6Fg8:
Yes with programming, C++ or .net. Never had any issue with signing. I can try to make a dll if you send me the icons (or post them here if they aren't too secret :D).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angelos_cy:
I have sent them to you by pm. They are not secret at all but I will create a "program" (wannabe :D ) with that dll and I want that program to be a surprise for users of the forum where I'll post it. I may post it on xda too, but it's nothing important.

Many thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the_ozyrys:
This happens because you've changed resources in signed file, which changed file checksum and invalidated it's signature, and Windows installer refuses to install file with invalid signature. But it won't refuse to install this file WITHOUT signature at all - so use unsigner (search for it on XDA) to remove signature completely; if you encounter error, try to remove signature from original (unmodified) file, and then change resources in it...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angelos_cy:
6Fg8

the_ozyrys

Thanks to both of you!

6Fg8 has created and signed the dll for me and it finally worked, but I also tried the_ozyrys' method and it also worked.

So thanks to baniaczek too, since he created the unsigner.exe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angelos_cy:
Everything worked fine with the dll. Now the cab is installed properly.

However, I have another problem. Just after the installation of the cab on my ppc, it seems that the device freezes for about a minute. This is propably because my cab contains a lot of shortcuts (.lnk files) that go under Programs folder.

So, I would like to ask for another favour, if it's possible. As I said I intend to give this cab to others too. Since this delay can make them believe that my program has freezed their device, I would like to make the cab restart the device just after installation and after uninstallation as well. I think this is made with the "Setup.dll" which I don't know how to create.

If anyone knows how to do this and has the time for it, could you please create this setup.dll for me. If the cab is needed to do this, just tell me to send it to you.

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] angelos_cy:
Anyone? Plzzzzzzz! :o

raykisi

Thanks for your answer but 6Fg8 and the_ozyrys already helped me on that.

My question now is how to create a setup.dll in order to make my .cab to prompt the user to restart the device after installation and uninstallation. If anyone can do it for me, I can send you the .cab which I alreday created and you can add the setup.dll with those functions.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Andehh:
I know this is a common problem but im worried about how HTC will receive my phone. The keyboard is definitely not right, typing out a text message at even a semi-fast pace (someone who has used the phone for a 6 months and is used to it) causes several of the keys not to be recognised. Keys like space bar and the Fn keys are touch & go and when it comes to txting its a total nightmare having to go back and add in the correct letters.

My concern is that when you do go back and press on the key several times/quite hard it does eventually work, and at times works almost normally (but very rarely). I called HTC and they were sceptical about it, but it is a total nightmare to use with txts messages.

Has anyone ever tried to send their phone back to HTC for a warranty repaier over the keyboard?

cheers guys
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] A.Sulli:
I am having the same problem only I have had my device for about 2 years. It's very frustrating. I recently gave up on the hard keyboard and installed spb's keyboard.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Andehh:
Having done a search it seems to be quite a common problem (well theres a few posts on it anyway) but no mention of anyone trying to get it fixed under warranty.

iv sent my phone off so will have to wait & see, but has anyone tried HTC over this matter?

thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Andehh:
Sent it off to them & they blamed water damage and refused to touch it. Apparently the top water patch had been stained & there fore they wouldn't touch it. Annoying seeing as the phone is in mint condition & has always been very well looked after.

Im a damn sight less then impressed all the same, seeing as they are refusing to fix a poorly designed, ill equipped (I blame faulty materials for the contacts below the keyboard) keyboard because of minor water damage of which i have never known of.

At least arguing with them got the cost reduced from £20 -> £11. Minor victory i spose. :(

I haven't installed it on my tp2, but i had it on my diamond and quite frankly i think it is worth the 30 dollars. I use it quite often because i travel and i know that no matter where i go as long as i have my phone(with signal) and my laptop i will have internet. I like the fact that with the wireless you can connect several computer to one internet source. I can't wait to install it on my tp2.

Hi guys,

I'm not entirely versed in Flash but it seems everything I want to play on my Hero doesn't load. (apart from YouTube, that is.)

I'm in Denmark and I can't play any of the free Flash vids on the BBC website (interviews with football managers etc.), a lot of the more "adult natured" sites don't play, in fact, hardly anything does.

Is this normal? Is there a Flash update on the way so these things (especially the BBC stuff) will actually play? (Market app beebplayer is UK only)

Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Thanks, in advance,

rdz

I had the same issue also, could not get in because I forgot the security password and no matter what i did I got 'invalid password'.

Here is how to do a hard reset of your ZTE 1231, also known as the Vodafone 1231. This is from ZTE support, i tried it on my phone, and it worked like a charm.

Hold on Start key, Right softkey and spacebar key at the same time,Mobile phone will set out to boot with FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS.

Note:Mobile phone battery power must be sufficient.

Translation from Chinglish....

Start key = power on key

Right softkey - this is the key that is just above the red phone key, on the right side of the center 'joystick' key. Google the Vodafone 1231 user manual if this is not clear.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Officer Dick:
Hi, i have spent some time searching now and since i couldn't find this anywhere i decided to post here, hope someone can help me.

Recently, i bought the official sony playstation 3 bluetooth headset (http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/Accessories/SCPH-98095) and i have connected it to my xperia x1 through bluetooth (running with itje's touch-it xperience v13.2), the problem is, it only outputs sound for the voice calls, i can't listen to music on it or the normal phone sounds. I know it would be mono sound and not high quality, but i would like to listen to the sound anyway sometimes because its better then leaving it silent.

i have tried in the bluetooth configuration window, clicking in advanced, editing the wireless device profile, thre it was marked hands-free, i clicked refresh and headset appeared, i marked it, then the headset disconnects. when i reconnect it, it auto demarks headset, or it doesnt connect.

I have looked around to see if it was the bluetooth headset problem, but i have not seen anyone else complaining about this or even mentioning it can't play the phone sounds (just some complains about the ps3 sounds not outputing but thats the ps3 fault), and i have also searched to see if it is x1s fault but haven't managed to find an answer as well, so if anyone can plz help i would really appreciate it. Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] achmed20:
thats pretty much because its no BUG.

what u want is a a2dp headset. something tells me that the ps3 headset doesn has this feature. normal headset just route voice calls while a2dp headset route everything.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Officer Dick:
actually, i didnt use the word bug because i though that might be the case :P

it has the headset and handsfree profile, not a2dp, but what i wasnt sure if it really needed to have de a2dp profile to output normal sounds, from what i've read it seems it is needed to output stereo high quality sounds, but just sounds with low quality would work for me, thats why im asking, i though the headset profile would be enough for that.

so if i get your message right, unless it has specifically the a2dp profile, there is no other way of making the sound output on the headset, low or high quality?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Officer Dick:
now i know there might be a way to make it work.

i was listening to some music today using the music player that comes with touchflo 3d, then i pressed the talk button of my bluetooth headset to issue a voice command (with the microsoft voice command program), then the music started playing in my headset while it was waiting for the voice command, once it got the command the music went back to the phone.

Does anyone know any way to make my headset keep playing the sounds, or could at least explain what happens when i press the talk button so i have an idea of where to look to see if find a way?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Officer Dick:
no one can help me with this? not any tip or a way to select a different output for audio or anything like that?

Also an issue with Audio Gateway

Help?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
i agree with you pistol but you are asking the phone to do more so the normal way would be that it would drain more battery and slowit down a little bit

I have gone like you and am now running themeless
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffff00:
Most themes don't do much besides change system images. The images are only replaced so it's not too much different than stock. As long as the images are optimized, it shouldn't have much affect. If there are mods in the theme itself, that's where things can get weird. Besides a few FC's sometimes, themes have minimal affect on performance from what I can tell.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pistol4413:
Well someone shpuld at least try and see if there is a diffrence with a theme. Its worth a shot we maybe surprised woth the results. I wish I could I dnt have the time unfourtantly.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffff00:
I agree.

I'd like to know for sure what the differences are with/without a theme.

honestly the reasons your bats are draining are because PROBABLY your doing things that will drain it

so they way I see it I have to:

1: backup rom using cyanogens recovery

2: backup backup onto computer

3: backup data using mybackup

4: backup this backup onto computer!

5: SDparted the sd card, (do I need to create a swap? if so how much?)

6: transfer the apps partition to the new partition using adb or terminal, (do I just use this?

To backup your sd partition:

Code:

tar -cvvzf /sdcard/systemsdbackup.tar.gz /system/sd/

and then take the file off your sdcard and copy it to your new one.

To restore your sd partition:

Code:

tar -xvvzf /sdcard/systemsdbackup.tar.gz -C /system/sd/

Or you could just adp pull system/sd \computerdirectory

then cd to computerdirectory and adb push it to system/sd again.

7: then run the permissions thing

8: install rom

9: install the backups

am I missing anything?
