is there any way to change start icon ? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

hi guys
is there any way to change start icon ?
icon that can be replaced with the orignal start icon !
WM6

no reply !

as far as i know only with programs like wisbar advance.

there is a DLL you have to edit..i cant remember its name..i will PM you once i remember

pm me it as well,

me too !!!!!

all right here is is how its done
extract the file shell32.exe from rom (or copy it from the windows folder of your device), there is the flag icon included, replace it with our own icon (resolution 21 x 18 pixels) and save the file with a new filename. copy it to your device in windows folder and change the registry settings "HKLM\init\Launch50" to the new filename. restart your device.
hope it works..

There is No Shell32.exe file in the windows directory on the phone. ????

Bump..Bump..

If anyone does manage to do this, can you post here what you did and maybe even the modified .dll file?
Thanks!

lolz you didnt think it could be extracted easily...First you have to Dump the ROM and then convert the module using package tool..lolz..i thought maybe this much detail is not required..

Sure sounded easy enough -- didn't say dump rom. I have some software that will take apart an .exe file. If I had the file. Its not there in the windows folder of my device.

shell32.exe
i extracted this from the htc wm6 x7500 rom it should be the same but the res might be double cause the x7500 is 640x480 if this does not work point me to where your rom is and i will dump it and post the file

could someone suggest a resource editor to make the changes, apparently Resource Hacker won't get the job done.

REQ: Zoom SMS from E-Ten G500

I was wondering if anybody has been able to extract the "Zoom SMS" out of the E-Ten G500?
It should work on Windows Mobile 5.0. Don't know why the screenshot looks like WM2003se :?
Here's a screenshot:

You should be able to view SMS messages larger than normal. There is also an option to reply or call directly from this screen
i want me too
nobody ?
thanks
Wonderful. It would be much profit to be able it to have.
Thanks
it works on wm5 because i had got a eten m600 and i had zoom sms
:?:
I know it works on WM5.0
I was just wondering if anybody has been able to extract it from the E-ten ROM to share it as a plugin for other user as well
I thought it might be time to bump this topic
Does anybody found this nice application?
I don't know how to extract it from a ROM so I was hoping somebody else could do it?
there is one somewhere buzzdev.net... :shock:
try on...
http://buzzdev.net/component/option...view/id,19559/catid,26/limit,15/limitstart,0/
there is some aplication extracted from eten in there.... :roll:
Great tip mwilmar!! You are my hero of the day
i don't find zoomsms :-(
Actually you can find the file HERE.
Problem is however that there seems to be a file called "Scenarios" that does not work on my Wizard, but it's loaded on startup. I can't seem to delete this 'cause it's a part of the phone program
Maybe anyone has a solution for this? Tried to open it with WinCE Cab Manager v1.1. But It doesn't seem to be able to read it..

Attached - simply repacked. You should be able to open with WinCE Cab Manager v1.1
---------- [EDIT] -------
[open scenarios.exe with reshacker, delete all(!) resources, then run strings.exe from http://www.sysinternals.com]
Probably you need:
\windows\TTSMgr.dll
\windows\LexMgrDLL.dll
Probably you need some registry settings.
I already found a way to work around it
This is what I did to make this work:
- Delete Scenarios.lnk from Start Menu
- Change the following registry values to '0'
HKLM\ControlPanel\ETEN\ScenariosOption\
Enable=0 ShowIcon=0
- Delete Scenarios.exe from the Windows directory.
TnX for the repacked CAB file!
---EDIT---
Is anybody able to remove the following parts from the CAB file:
- QLink files
- CallFilter
- Scenarios
In the latest CAB file I've noticed that there are no registry stettings?
When I delete al the parts myself It says that the installation failed...

Yes. There is no registry settings.
Extract original CAB with winrar and take a look inside _setup.xml
Since it has been quite some time I thought it was time for a new challenge :lol:
Does anybody know how to isolate the SMS part of this programm? Because when I use the programm it also uses a dial history programm. I just want to use one on my device
I like ZoomSMS but im using WM2003..... can anyone break the code.... ??
nobody apps standalone ?
thanks

baniaczek and mccune,
I know it's been awhile since this thread was discussed but I was wondering if I use the cab attached, will it work with Helmi's 1.4 Vanilla rom straight away or do I need to do some tweaking as mentioned by mccune?
it has just been ported for the prophet, look at the Touch X Rotor edition Xk1

HTC Touch dialer w/ smartdial based on Jimm98y's dialer!

I figured out how to customize Jimm98y dialer. It's a great, stable dialer that has smartdialer working perfectly.
First install Jimm98y dialer, then go to /windows and look for all the .png files that begin with Jimm98y. Copy those files to your computer and change them using the original as templates.
Update: I got HTC Touch dialer in portrait and landscape done.
Here's the PNG files you'll need for the Jimm98y dialer. All you have to do is:
Extract the files
Copy them into /windows folder in your pocket pc.
Overwrite the files.
Reset the phone.
Voila!

Great work..!
I will try it..!
whats the chances of making this into an actual cab file to just install once instead of messing around with copying files?
im sure mfrazz could help with that!
looks fantastic by the way!
this one looks alot better than the HTC one. lol i wasnt a big fan of that bright color it had on it

It looks like a ZIP file to me
Install instructions:
- Download and install the 'Jimm98y' dialer.
- Extract the files from the ZIP file in this thread.
- Copy all files >> /windows/ on your pocketpc (overwrite all files).
- Soft reset your device
It was even in the first thread, but now you really can't miss!
on exec don't work, hic
For those that want this as a cab file, it is pretty simple to do. Get a cab manager (winCE cab manager) and create a new cab with the files in there.
The smartdail on jimmy's dailer somehow not working on my BA. Any BA user encounter this problem?

I included the cab file in my first post that merges the Touch skin and Jimm98y's dialer, courtesy of KidGixxer
Smart Dial not working
I really love this skin, have done since the first jimmy98y dialer.
The problem is that my smart dial doesn't work.
My dialer looks like the one on the first post without the smart dial. Also, my left softkey is "Hide Keypad.
Any ideas?
(The cab wouldn't install by the way, I just copied the files into the windows folder manually)
Thanks and great work!
Oh wow, I don't know then. I never seen it like that....anyone else having this same problem?
Here's my take on the Call log buttons. They are based on the HTC logo =)
Just download them, extract them, and copy them to the /windows folder of your PPC

Mini-Mod: HTC Bootscreen

Hey guys,
I replaced the ugly green WM6-Bootscreen (the one after the HTC Logo-Animation) with the original HTC-Screen.
Attention! The cab HAVE TO BE installed into the internal Memory, not the SDHC so on...
This is compatbile with HD only!!
After installation is complete, you have to soft-reset you HD.
If you wish to deinstall, everything will be like before without any clutter.
Have fun!

The bootscreen is good. If you're loading it up and showing someone then they definitely know it's Windows Mobile !

Yes, it can be changed.
You have to replace a small sound-file within the windows-folder.
I think, it's the BootUpHTC.wav
D-jay nice & thanks !
Could you maybe make a CAB whit this image ?
Thanks allready !
does anyone have the original WinMo screen but with a blue background? would be nice =P .. how would i replace it in the cab?

hihi...just downloaded and installed it...now I don't have any bootscreen...it's just black (better than win mobile) ;-)
use Advanced Config to change the splash screen to any jpg on your HD
tested on my HD and 5*
Just installed the cab, the .png is fine, but the animation is not working, any idea to this? btw, what is the name of original animation file in windows folder?
nice piece of work, win mo vanished... thanks a lot!

thx i used ur image on my HD looks dArK!!
you don't need a cab file just
use total Commamder to rename the file to
welcomehead.192.png
then copy it to ur WiNdoWs folder on ur device....
p.s. before u do this use total commamder to make a back up of ur original just in case u want to revert back to it.....

When I try and replace the original welcomehead file with another it tells me I cannot copy the file, Access is denied.
I've tried using Total Commander with no luck
Perfect!! HTC's simple logo as a screen replacement is a smart idea, not a geek screen with "I love my HD" on a crappy picture : your way it stays sober, 5*
I personally don't bother using a cab for this, though I do like D-Jays splash screen.
I use the attached explorer and replace the 'welcomehead.192.png' file located in /windows
I backed up the original file first obviously
I have also attached my current splash screen. Obviously not to everyones taste and extension needs changed from .jpg to .192.png
@ D-Jay: Could you post the bootscreen.png without the .cab?

If you are using CUSTOM ROM and it doesn't work you can upload your battery.dll here, also with battdrvr.dll. I'll take a look.
who made this app?
Does this works with WM6.5 ? I installed it and soft reset but nothing was changed.
EDIT: Now I can't delete it. It says "another process has locked a portion of the file". Any idea how I remove it?
I tested it and it works with 6.1 for sure.
I know to some people this is not important but i love that i can see the exact percentage of battery left.
Thanks Ethermind
btw, im using touch it v7 final, in case that makes a difference

awesome work thx for this
Just a little problem: never show 100% even if battery is full load
cause it's beta testing : )
now i try to charge battery too.
i think i know where is the bug - a make jump to procedure on
if <=100% then ...
so i needs to make if <=99% because next instruction was special for 100%,
because 100% means finishing of charging...
please make this the main topic, I don't understand why there is another thread about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3755522#post3755522
doesn't work for me, i'm running gtrab's custom windows mobile 6.5 rom =/
I'm not able to edit the properties on the original battery.dll and thus cannot overwrite or delete it
If you are using CUSTOM ROM and it doesn't work you can upload battery.dll here, also with battdrvr.dll. I'll take a look.
If you CAN'T DELETE driver you must just RENAME it and make soft reset.
HI
Cant seem to get it working. Have sdkcert installed. renamed, updates attributes & replaced tin the windows folder.
But I still have the old battery icons?
(Xperia Rom R1AA017 Generic UK)
Try to use for overwriting Resco File Explorer or something else. Standart explorer does not allow to change ROM files.

[SOLVED] searching for an image in kitchen=no luck??? [dialer keypad image]

i have a bug on my rom because of an image.
the image is on the dial pad screen.
im searching for the image of the button to make the dial keypad/keyboard popup/down?
(ill be able to supply a screenshot later but not atm)
whats the image name and where can it be found in my evk?
cheers dudes, muchly appreciated
Rn
Did you check in your phone canvas package? If it's not visible in there it may be in one of the .dlls like phcan.dll or phcanrc.dll (I can't remember their exact names), but I'm pretty sure it's an image that you can see if you open up your phone canvas package. If it's in a .dll, you can use a program like Rezhack to open and edit .dlls.
Anything like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10697671#post10697671
If this is the same issue I have then I believe its the .dlls phcanhtc.dll & phcanrc.dll that need modifying, however I don't know how to nor have I had any help in how....
The images are 'Dialer_Contact_down.png' & 'Dialer_Contact_up.png' and should be in the phonecanvas package.

to edit dll's you need 'ResHacker' (resource hacker)
quick tutorial:
drag and drop the dll OR exe you want to edit onto the ResHacker.exe and it will open. everything inside the dll OR exe will be shown and you can edit it, eg icons
select the icon and right click
now replace resourse with your custom icon
*the number on the folder is the icon number - not the number on the icon
to make your own icons i suggest you use 'IcoFX'
install IcoFx and open it.
got to TOOLS/BATCH PROSESS
add images to that you want as icons
*dont use transparent images, it will turn out crap
select 48x48 and XP Colours
save
now go to TOOLS/RESOURCE EDITOR
click the 'add icon' and add the 'new' icons
now save but put .dll at the end of what ever you name it as
this creates a dll with your custom icons
cba explaining the rest but if ya realy wana know - pm
Rn
update
found it
to save you editing them:
Rn
(no dll's need modifying for this btw just thought id mention it, ive searched the dlls mentioned and none contain icons)
(infact i searched all the dlls in the canvas folder )
BIG thanks!
OK, so what does your dialer look like now? Is there no dialpad icon at all now?
I understand how reshacker works, however I don't think its Icons that need editing in the .dll's - its other stuff?
I have lived with the annoying cut-off for a while now but would be keen to see it fixed....
