Reg Edit question...

If I upset anyone by asking this question in this forum, I apologize in advance but these are the ROMs I use and everyone here seems to know what they are talking about and help those in need the most in my opinion. However, I did post elsewhere too. Never hurts to ask or try. Therefore here is my question...

I've created my own action screen with custom icons and specific programs to launch. My problem is I can't get it to launch the Resco Registry Editor program that comes with Resco File Explorer 2010 program. I'm able to locate the path to launch the program, however I get this error message...

"Can't open the file. It is an operating system file stored in ROM."

Of course I directed the launch path to the program folder where the "RViewer.exe" file is actually located inside the Resco Explorer program folder. I also tried making the path attempt to launch the shortcut (.lnk) file under that start menu\programs folder, but it doesn't seem to want to launch it either. Is it even possible to edit a registry path to launch an ".lnk" file and if it is, How?

Thank you all for any help one can give me. I'll be up late tonight trying to figure this out.

Take out the battery, go into bootloader (hold Volume Down button then press Power), and flash a 2.xx.50.xx radio (get 2.07.50 or above).

Try opening the Resco Explorer cab and changing the install directory for Registry.exe to %windows% instead of %InstallDir%
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] McKinnisG:
Thank you. I'll attempt to open the cab file.

Any programs you suggest to use above others in opening a cab file?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] M3PH:
Very badly :)

Actually the truth is there are many ways we can compare windows mobile to android. You have already named some of the primary points but there are more important ones like usability and aesthetics. Both of which imho are lacking in android 2.2. All android is is a playground for adolecent, processor torching, trend hoping noobs that have no idea what they are actually doing to their phones. Have you seen what the support is like in the android section? it's like watching the blind leading an unfeasibly large amount of paraplegics around a room. If it wasn't so shocking it would be almost funny.

Android is one of those things that has a polorised opinion about it. It's very hard to sorta like. I find people either hate it or really like it. Same with the iPhone. If you like that's fine just don't go all anti MS fanboy on us making wild claims like android can't compare to windows mobile. It can! Hell, i can even argue why android is worse for me on a daily basis (just gonna say out of the box RDP support as point 1)

Agreed

Well based on the earlier performance not great :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Scabes24:
WinCE CAB Manager is the best program to use but it's not free..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] McKinnisG:
Ok, I tried that but nothing. It appears to be trying to launch something (seeing the "waiting" icon dots going in a circle pattern) but then goes right back to the Home screen. Could there be a "Param" string I need to enter also. I know on some program launches it requires one, just not sure. Google isn't helping me much either. :rolleyes:

P.S. WinCE CAB Manager works great. Just never tried it before due to it costing. Thank you again for your response and any further ideas you may have!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Scabes24:
Well the Dll file could play a part in that.. if that's the case it might be tough, unless you have experience editing dll's. I tried taking a look at it but was somewhat confusing so I stopped.

EDIT: The dll im referring to is the setup.dll, not the ones in the file list. And I just took a look at 3 of the different resco explorer cabs i have and they all seem to have very different contents. Which one are you using?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] McKinnisG:
I moved the .dll file to the windows directory also, but that didn't help either. I haven't played much with those files either. Again, Thank You.

hi guys;

can anyone provide me with the url of 27 Dec change log details ?

i'm going to update now to 27Dec and wanna know what's the new

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sumflipnol:
Done!:)

And I'm going to change my sig right now so that the HD2 portion will only say "Custom and Stock WWE/T-Mobile USA Bootscreens" (space-saver!:D), and it will direct to the Energized bootscreen post, where I linked the other bootscreens.

There was no change log posted (not even on Twitter) for Dec. 27 ROMs. The only big difference is probably the change in WM6.5.x build (29007).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fishawy:
Thanks! That would be great. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] McKinnisG:
Ok... If anyone is still up reading the forum, I'm still in the dark. I can't seem to get it to launch Resco Registry Editor. I can get it to launch any other program but it. It's driven me crazy.

If anyone else uses Resco, please look at the below locaton and see if there is something I need to enter in one of the entries to get it to work. (APP_1 is the spot that I will have the program located see attached image to see the screen shot of the original and mine.)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Scabes24:
Can you list the .dll and .exe files in the cab you're using?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] McKinnisG:
The first file is the full cab that installs Resco Files Explorer which gives you the Registry Editor too.

The second file has the .dll file it installs onto the phone associated with it and the .exe file for the Resco Registy Editor itself.

Below is the screenshot of the action screen
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ajape:
You've really stumped me here... :confused:

The way the Action Screen's set, it's supposed to work as long as you copy the

exact

"path" text in the "properties" of any link (.lnk) file that leads to an .exe. I just don't get it... :confused:

I made my own screen too, which is the one I always use, but I didn't encounter ANYTHING that wouldn't open as long as the path had an exact copy of the path that the shortcut to the .exe had...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] McKinnisG:
I know what you mean. I can launch every application but the Resco Registry Editor. I don't get it either. I've even sent a request to the company to see if there is something with the way the application is installed or a reg edit entry string value or Param entry needed to be made in order to launch it. Still trying to figure out the issue. Google searches aren't any help either.

Do you use Resco applications? Have you tried getting it to launch?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ajape:
Only the Explorer (an old version, not the 2010), which when I edited the Reg file to have the Notes icon pointed to it worked perfectly well... :confused: :confused: :confused: Although I prefer TC now that I have an HD2 instead of a Blackstone, no more lag in opening large folders ;)

Anyways, I'm almost sure it's a parameter thing. Did you try to see the full properties of the link to the Reg Edit in Total Commander? That should give an idea of any "special" parameters around, I think... :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] McKinnisG:
No I haven't looked at it with total commander. I'll play with it also to see if I can find out if there is a parameter string value that needs to be added. I'm to the point of guessing thats the issue, just can't find the correct answer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Shaamaan:
After trying out one of the Android versions, Sense won't start. It keeps trying, failing, and ends up with the "tap screen to load Sense" message. So far the only solution I could find that worked was to reinstall the ROM. The only other solution I could think of (which failed) was to load default Cookie settings.

What's the correct methodology to try and pinpoint the source of the issue? I don't want to have to reinstall the ROM every time this happens. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vranikx:
bug?

Hi, I think I`ve founded a bug. Even when I have locked phone, volume keys are working. Is somewhere cab to fix it?

Thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Ch@rly:
No idea ? :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
I would definetly start by taking out the SDCard. Most likely there are files that Sense is not happy with. Music Tab for example loads its library from the SDCard. If it finds bad files it gets stuck. Anyway take out your SD Card and restart the phone and see if that helps to start it again. If not you would have to inform us what Android Build you have used and what ROM Version. Hope you figure it out. Using MDJ's Release from the SDCard and it works fine. Have you played around with MAGLDR or Storage Card Version?

No Bug, just personal preferences. Hope this helps. From Da_G personaly:

The ROM ist great and it's working nice on my HD2.

(Sencity, german 20dec)

Nevertheless : Found some minor "bugs":

1. german translation in the weather-tab:

yesterday -> gestern

2. updating the album art in the music-tab won't work for me.

3. I can't hear any sound when I adjust the volume

Great ROM! Happy New Year!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] epostoliver:
Love the ROMs! Inspired by the great shared work on xda-devleopers, I've started to play with ROM cooking myself. My first attempts are based on the stock ROM that came with my device, but it seems clear I should be working with a solid WM 6.5.3 build.

I've found lots of modded ROMS based on better builds than my stock version, but I'm looking for a clean (i.e. non-modded) WM build to start. Can you share, or do you know where I could get, such a build?

Thank you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fishawy:
You can use Energy Reference (closest thing to a stock ROM) below. Or you can use Leo Official ROMs.

Good luck.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Insane Devil:
Hi Guys,

From past couple of weeks, i am having a strange problem with my HD2, its on .Sencity rom version WM6.5.5 -

When kept to charge, sometimes the screen acts weird - it self runs some programs/calls...its like a the screen is being touched by itself, and different windows are opened, sometimes calls are placed, n stuff like that!

the other day, on of my staff members told me that he received a call from me morning 5 am!

I tried to search but didnt find anything on this, except one mention of this being some kinda screen problem. But i dont agree to this. I am sure it has something to do with the ROM because , i have been running Android on this for some time on n off, and it has NEVER happened on Android, only happens in WM - and that too only when kept on charging.

Please help guys!

@Fishawy: thanks for the suggestion for the contacts problem - regarding some contacts automatically getting edited - names deleted and it turning to "<unnamed>". i didn't try deleting them one by one, as i would lose them from Outlook too, and then getting it back would be a big pain! I am trying a different rom version - energy style, instead of .Sencity. I hope it solves the problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nygmam:
Do you have headphones pluged in, or a case of any type? Sometimes a headset with a bad plug can cause random calling, that is one thing to look at. the other is a case. If the case is too tight, it may be pressing on the screen or buttons causing this issue. I know you don't get it in android, but maybe it is less sensitive to these problems. I have had the headphone issue, and others have had the case problem. Other than that, you can always try a hard reset, and see if it does it without any apps/tweaks loaded. if it is fine, then I suggest you manually load your apps and tweaks one at a time, until you find the offending program or tweak. It is time consuming but sometimes it is the only way. Make sure to give it enought time before installing each app/tweak. If it is still giving you issues after a HR, without any apps/tweaks installed, I think you may have a hardware issue of some kind. You may also want to try another ROM flavor or a ROM by another chef (Even going back to the stock rom) to verify if it is ROM or hardware issue.

Good luck!

Jumping ship! Thanks for all the memories!

Hi NRGZ28,

I have to thank you, from the heart, for making my HD2 usable and actually quite awesome for 9 months! Your ROMs are works of art, and your attention to detail shows in every build. Without your work, I probably would have thrown my phones against a wall within a month of buying them!

I am keeping the HD2s, but WinMo is finally getting its long overdue burial, as I am successfully running Android from NAND! And Android is completely and totally mindblowingly great! Even the wife loves it!

Now, all my phones need is your unique touch! How can we bribe you to start cooking Android for the HD2? ;)

Hope to see you soon in the Android development forum!

Regards,

Yom.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EdinM30:
Answer me only 1 question...Is you HD2 charger a third party one i.e not HTC branded charger that you got from ebay if you anser is YES then there is your problemo it's causing it ;)

don't ask how or why spare the letters to fix it..simply get another charger or charge it ONLY over your pc like i do
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Yom:
Well, sir... you still have your HD2, right? Why not slap one of them 3PO builds until NRGZ decides to bless us heathens with his mastery :)

Quick question.

.:

NRG 27th DEC Cookie 2 Touch of Glass.

.:

The volume and incall volume is a bit soft even when i use the genuine HTC HD2 headset. This may not be rom related.. is there a reg tweak that I could increase the incall volume or the volume of the HD2 in general? Yes, I have max-ed out the volume everytime I use my Hd2.

Mine is the Telstra branded HD2.

.:

Kind Regards,
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] aboveluna:
no new update from the big guy?

maybe he retired from the hd2 section because that nand boy come?? :eek:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pee-wee:
It must be interfence by other apps

Have you try audio boster, it can increase volume bit louder
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the-wrangler:
agreed, im on the 27th 29007 and my volume cannot be changed while locked.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
Honestly figured that much already. But as far as a better answear I am kind of stumped with that problem. Could you let us know what Lockscreen you are using WM Android Style, WM Default style, Cookie Manila, Cookie Windows, or Cookie HD Mini? What exact ROM are you using? My Silicon Case protects the Volume rocker preaty good but I noticed it being enabled in some cases/roms. On Energy.Leo.29007.Sense2.5.Cookie.Dec.27 the one I have now on my device I cant replicate it. The only time its working is when I have Music playing then I can adjust the Volume of the Music Player.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vranikx:
Hi, I`ve tried all lockscreen - WM Android, WM default also cookie lockscreens but still the same. My ROM is Energy.Leo.29007.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Dec.27.

I have no programs in background, just which were enabled in startup by default after fresh flashing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
I just realized that I have a Cookie v1.8.5 ROM installed. :) And I was wondering why it seemed different. lol Anyway will flash the same as you have and we will see. Can you do a Hardreset and see if it happens with a completely clean system? Dont run XDA_UC and dont install anything. I can understand if you have too much set up already but if it would not be a big deal it would be interessting just to have that variable out of the way. Will let you know how it looks on my Cookie 2.0
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tntp4e:
.:

i dont think audio booster would influence it nor interference as i run a clean NRG romm without any additional software.

.:

A point to note aswell is that this "soft" volume only starts as soon as the call is initiated by a beep and vibration [probably to signify the call active] . For a split second before this happens I could hear normal volume.

.:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
No change. Even after flashing the exact same one as you got. Still Volume does not work when locked. I would Hardreset and check if it is better then. If not hardreset, reflash, and check again. If it helps you can install one by one and check inbetween if it still works until you found a possible problem. Also I would redo all Sense Settings and not import any. If you figure it out please post your findings. There were others that wanted it the other way around so they can adjust the volume even when its Locked. Good Luck sorry I could not be of more help.

SMS sync

Hello, thanks again for this beautiful ROM for my Leo. I have one question: According to this article (cannot post URLs due to my low count of posts) - h**p://blogs.msdn.com/b/deva/archive/2010/11/02/outlook-2010-windows-mobile-amp-sms-sync-send-and-receive-text-messages-from-your-e-mail-account.aspx is possible to sync SMS with my Outlook 2010.

Thanks for replies in advance, Dave.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] johndijkstra:
Hello all you people,

I dit ask this question once more here, but now answers so i try again.

I'm running the Sencity Cookie 2 version now from 20 dec.

Works like a charm.

There is one issue thow.

Whenever i want to add a widget in CHT it takes 5 til 10 minutes before sense starts up.

even after a reboot of the phone.

This behavoure is mainly when putting the musicplayer on a page.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
I would check your SD Card for Corrupt MP3 or other Files that might interfere with loading the Music Widget. Take out the Storage Card, restart phone and see if that helps if it does you will have to clean up your SDCard and find the culprit.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jrchester:
Found my own answer to my "SMS Quick Text question" - which I'm posting here for anyone looking for the same info...

To get the Insert Quick Text SMS feature - you need to navigate to the "All Messages" button and then select a particular SMS message thread you want to respond to - or start a new message from the Menu option..... Then once your in this SMS mode -

select Menu ..... My Text .... to either use or edit the list etc. to insert your Quick Text reply.

This wasn't entirely obvious until I stumbled across it - because the "My Text" insert option isn't available from the HTC SMS Mode (the mode with the conversation bubbles in it)..... It would be nice to have there as well - since it's a little awkward to use the My Text option away from HTC SMS - without entirely disabling HTC SMS - which I like other features from.

Hope this helps someone else.

Question, anyone know what I can do for the overseas model of the HD2? The one with half the ram? This rom seems to have issues on those models sadly. Last one I did for a friend and couple other friends all had random issues. The last one tho, The HD2 freezes up as soon as it makes a call.

So is there a trick on these 512 model HD2s?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
European HD2 would be more precise since your 1024 TMOUS version is for me the oversee model. lol Anyway had both here in Europe and the procedure is the same but make sure that you dont import old settings that might conflict and maybe pick a different Radio then you would for your Provider in the US. Also I would try Hard SPL 2.08
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mysticales:
Well it is Hard SPL 2.08, Thats the 1st step in any of it. ;) But issue is, this isnt the 1st EU HD2 that has some sorta issue or freezing up problem with this rom. Which is why I am wondering, is there something missing. I believe I have tried a Radio rom too before. One of the newer ones. Which EU HD2 radio is confirmed to work well with this build? (And thank god my HD2 is the 1024 hehe.. I never have issues, Yay!)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
Never had problems with any of them. Are you using Android Style Lockscreen or the Windows Lockscreen? There were versions that had freezing problems with the Windows Lockscreen. Does it happen on a completely fresh installation without any changes to the system?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pee-wee:
and make sure not use SPL 3.03

In Total Commander, a simple click on CLRCAD then Haret does it for you. If there's a problem, then an error will pop-up. Otherwise, the process will go on normally.
