True VGA

[cudo]

hi,

i have installed (partially) the true VGA option on my universal according to tips given in the hack from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41968 but i am having some problems.

the instruction states :
1 copy the files in windows folders files to windows dir of mobile
2 copy and run sdkcerts.cab to mobile
3 run ozvga and press ozvga button
4 copy files in vga system folders to windows dir for updated vga system files
5 copy and run vjbigphone091 , vjbigphonebuttons , vjbigphonebackdrop
6 soft reset and vga mode activated

now what i have noticed :
1 done
2 done
3 done
4 here is the problem..when i try to copy these files using ActivSync i am getting error messgae that i cannot copy file cos they are not read-only files, even if i change them to read-only files i am still unable to copy them, acces denied while copying.
5 done
6 done

after doing 5 of 6 steeps i am running my universal in VGA mode but why cannt i copy these file and are they really needed ?

in addition i can say that VGA seems not to suprt wisbar and some other program , is there any list of compatible software.

can i change the size of icon and task bar and other stuff while running VGa mode. where can i find some more info about VGA ??

i am using mda pro with not the lates ROM ( just bought my mda )

any help and ideas are appreaciated ! :)
cheers, cudo

Use Resco File Explorer to copy the protected files, as though it still recognises they are 'system' files the program does overwrite them with the ones you need.

This has been covered elsewhere on the forums.

Don't use the VGA files from Ozvga, there are files on the XDA developers ftp site (I think they are in an archive called VGA_AKU2.zip). This has the sdkcerts.cab file and a folder called windows. I have the contents of this archive and ozvga sotred on my SD card and whenever I hard reset or upgrade the ROM I run sdkcerts.cab and use total commander on the phone (I suppose resco would do the same job if you have it installed) to copy the windows folder to the root filesystem of the phone, it will complain that there is a folder called windows there already but just hit OK to copy over it, it won't replace any critical files. You can run ozvga from the SD card but I tend to copy it into main sotrage so that if I swap cards its always available.

OR better yet, search the darn forum before you do ANYTHING to your Universal. Not like I haven't posted the same thing over and over.
