Delete gx.dll from Windows

[Oberth]

Is there anyway to delete the gx.dll from \windows on the Athena or would I have to get the rom image and remove from there before flashing.

I am looking to try a couple of alternative gx.dll's to see if they can cure the couple of issues with performance on GAPI software and try GAPI for HPC's http://www.wincesoft.de/html/gapi_for_hpc_s.html to see if that can rescale the touchscreen to 96dpi (which it reckons it can do) but even if you believe you have overwritten the dll once you soft reset to try the new one out the original is still there.

you will need to use resco explorer. You might also be able to do it through Activsync. The normal file explorer won't work.

Shall try again later on I have used Reco to overwrite the .dll and it appears that you have done it until you soft reset then the original ones back again. I shall try a delete & reset and see what the phone thinks of that.

update:
Resco brings up a dialog box saying 'File in ROM cannot delete' so looks like I would have to strip it out the image and flash the firmware without it there

try total commander..its free. Some apps do not allow delete, but will allow overwrite

Will give it a try, Resco allowed you to overwrite and when you look afterwards it appears to have done so, File Manager and Activesync explorer also both give the same impression but when you soft reset so that the nex gx.dll gets loaded you find that windows has rolled it back to the original.

On my Universal I can do this no problem and swap stuff around as I like so I assume the Athena's handle things a bit differently, I get the impression that the \Windows directory you write to is actually in two parts but you see the two as one, there's the set in stone part on the rom itself and then there's another on the storage that you can write to so new files like .ini's or custom dll's can be added but nothing already there from the rom flash can be deleted/overwritten.
