Can´t delete fontfile in windows folder - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I´ve read about the option, to change the font of TF3D. There was a zip-file with 4 fontfiles inside, all of them i have copied to the windows folder instead of \windows\fonts, because on my device there isn´t such a folder. After doing a softreset my TF3D has changed its font. But when i try to delete this files, it doesn´t work. Not by the file-explorer on the device and not by the explorer of the pc when connected using ActiveSync.
Is there a way to delete this fontfiles, so that the TF3D changes its font to the old one ?
Another question : How can i change the fontsize of TF3D-Font ? The calender on the home screen is a little bit too small.
Thanks.

Disable TF3D then reset and try to delete the file.

No, it doesn´t work. The files cannot be deleted.
Maybe i should let them on the device, by the next hard reset they will be deleted anyway

Cannot copy clg_in.gif, clg_miss.gif, clg_out.gif, spd_lst.gif; access denied.

I used a registry tweak to disable the default AT&T dialer and now I want to change out the images. I am having a problem copying clg_in.gif, clg_miss.gif, clg_out, and spd_lst.gif into the \windows directory. I keep getting an access denied error message. I have turned off the phone and did a soft reset, but that didn't make any difference.
I have attempted to replace the files using my desktop computer and File Explorer.
Does anyone have a solution so I can copy over the four new files?
Thank you.
resco explorer allows you to force the copy.
Thank you.

I will give it a try. Thank you.
Update...
I downloaded Resco File Explorer and installed it. I copied the four images to \windows and after confirming the files copied. I can see the correct images in \windows. I did a soft reset but the old images are still showing. I verified that the new images are in \windows. Why are the old images (AT&T crap) still showing?
Thank you.
Bumping = Bad
Sorry to bump my own thread, but I'm fairly confident that someone knows how to correct this problem.

its probably a cache issue, such as if u put a picture on a contact, then delete the picture, the picture is still on the contact.
but, i dont know how to do what you are asking.
You can just flash the rom im sure there are more customizable friendly roms out there.

how to install applications?

hi guys, im new here and got my diamond just yesterday.. its my first pocket pc, and i need real help..
looked around the forums and found a lot of good stuff..
downloaded a couple of applications like advanced configuration tools, gsen, registery editor, but i dont know how to install them. when i unzip the files on my pc the are in xml format and when i double click on the setup file it opens in notepad..
plz help me, what should i do? how do i install these applications?
Instead of unzipping the .cab files on your pc, you need to copy them to your diamond (using activesync or select 'disk drive' when you plug it in).
Then open file explorer on your diamond, navigate to where you copied the .cab file, and run it - .cab is an installer file for windows mobile applications

Do the following, hehe
When you download most programs they will be in .CAB format. Now all this means is that they can be installed DIRECT from the phone.
What I do is create a folder on my Diamond in Internal Storage called APPS and make sure my Diamond is synced to my pc / laptop using Activesync on XP or Windows Mobile Device centre if on Vista and then copy all the .CABS that i have downloaded into the APPS folder on my phone.
Once im ready to install the applications its very simple.
On your Diamond click on START and then PROGRAMS and locate FILE EXPLORER.
When FILE EXPLORER has loaded up in the top left of the window you will notice a memory card icon with the current directory you mobile is pointing to, push this and you will then see MY DEVICE and the location you are currently at.
If you have used a pc before its very similar to how the pc windows explorer used to navigate, anyway, select MY DEVICE and then choose INTERNAL STORAGE and then APPS.
Then its just a matter of selecting which application you wish to install as all the .CABS will be displayed. Select the one you want to install and follow the installation process.
If there are any small programs 1mb or less then I tend to install these onto my phone storage memory and for games I install them onto INTERNAL STORAGE but its up to you. Some programs require a SOFT RESET to work.
The SOFT RESET button is located where the STYLUS is stored on the phone, pull the STYLUS out and then you will see a RED BUTTON inside.
Push this and your phone will restart.
There is more information here at good ol xda-developers.com and also http://modmydiamond.info
Hope this helps!

how to delete these touch diamond camera picture frames?

hi,
the following link > http://www.myimagespace.com/public/view/1885
is the picture template used as camera frames, they are called
collage frames, they are found in every htc phone but the problem is
they are stored in rom and are protected, you cannot rename or delete them, though on the option menu there is delete and rename
but you cant click them...
is there any way to remove them from the phone?
any hard reset reinstallation or anything else?
hope to get a helpful answer...
fady.
You can disable this camera mode via registry.
Dump > Delete Files> Flash ROM.....
or
delete the templates folder and use the frames
from the \windows\ folder with this registry
HKCU\Software\HTC\Camera\6.00\Strings
Template Folder = \Windows\
the same with smileys & RSS Hub( german HTC T_D )
look in the registry,
you can delete all the file wich is also in the \windows\ folder
but you must change the path(Strings) in the reg....

first if your manila is cooked in your original files will be there on the device if you delete the modified file, but if you want copy all files in windows with manila ext. to a folder on pc to back up. Next, just go to the original file you modded using manila editor and choose to replace it, choose directory your modded image is in and replace. beware though some images in sprint and att tf3d are a little tricky.
do you knwo which manila file is the the email background?

on your computer, goto control panel, folder options, from there unselect "hide operating system files" or "hide protected files" and you will be able to see the windows folder on your phone

Move icons in 6.5 start menu

I searched couldn't find anything. I want to know if it is possible to put the programs I install into folders in the honeycomb menu, for example put Corplayer in Multimedia. BTW I have energyrom 3.0 build 051209 but that shouldnt be hat important.
yes it is possible, use a file manager such as Total Commander or maybe even just File Explorer goto you program files folder and create a shortcut of the .exe that loads CorePlayer and then move that shortcut into \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Multimedia and then your shortcut will be visible you don't even have to soft reset
ok thanks man
dont mean to be dumb, but when I use file explorer to cut and paste shortcuts in new folders, they appear in the folder and on the start menu. How do I fix that?
think i found what ur lookin 4. its called reSTART
