How to update gwes.exe?

[Oxymoron238]

First of all, to the mods, if this has been discussed somewhere before, please feel free to move it. I heard of someone successfully doing this, but I don't remember them posting how they did it.

Anyway, this thread is for everyone who wishes to experience XBoxmod's TF3D in all of its glory (notifications, start menu, etc) without having to flash to a new rom of a higher build. In other words, I want this thread to serve as a tutorial for replacing the gwes.exe with another gwes of a higher build.

Personally, I tried to replace my gwes.exe, but my file explorer told me that I didn't not have permission to replace the file. I was using total commander. If someone here knows how to successfully update the gwes.exe, then please post it here.

If someone is looking for the gwes.exe of the higher builds, P-slim found the it on XDA Developers. It can be found here:

Click the "these" link for the files.

Once I find out how to update, I'll try it myself, and if it works, I'll update this post with the step-by-step process on how to do it.

Also, some have reported that the gwes update will not work on the stock Sprint rom. I'm not sure why, but fayfay392 cooked a stock Sprint rom that contains the higher build here:

Check post 8 for it.

Thanks, and hopefully someone can post the process soon!
