You are boring with default Boot Screen on Your Atom/ Atom Exec, and want to changes it with your favourite images. Read this instructions:
1. Download tools from HERE
2. Extract rar files in one folder with rom file diskimage_Ver.nb0
3. Install Hex Workshop 4.2 (hw32v423.exe) on your PC, or u can using another hex editor. But i'm personaly like this software.
4. Typed command RomMaster.exe diskimage_ver.nb0 -w 5 -b 0x0018000c -x -o xip.bin. It's will generated xip.bin for you
3. Run xipport, choose dump xip.bin and write maps. Close xipport
4. Prepare your own image with size 240x320, flip and rotate it 180 degrees. It's will look like screenshot. Save as bmp, file size must be 230.454 bytes. If u have Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2, it will save with this size automatically.

Other way, Direct modify.
I search by "first boot screen" and found someting from old post by someone.
this details.
I select modify at diskimage_Ver.nb0 file. It's easy modifying.
1.1st boot screen is black dragon on gold ray.
2. 2nd boot screen is BootScr.bmp. ====[black dragon on gold ray]
It's can use resco exploror replace after boot complete.
3.3th screen is show long time as 1st screen.
I use HitMan in Black color wallpaper. 3th file is welcomehead.96.png.
It's can use resco exploror replace after boot complete.
for 2nd and 3th image in \Windows and not flip
1st must flip vertical.
Please backup diskimage_Ver.nb0 before modify you boot screen.
When you find it by name. Your must found in the world. If have name.
=========================================
okay fellas, time to learn how to change the 1st bootscreen on your atom.
1. prepare your 1st boot screen 240 X 320 in bmp format
2. flip vertical (Must!!) and save it. file size is 230,454 bytes
3. Open your bmp file with Hex Editor (e.g. XVI32)
now you can change your 1st bootscreen either in nk.exe (inside xip during cooking) or on the diskimage_Ver.nb0
================================================== ===
on ATOM/ATOM Pure
xip mode.
1. goto nk.exe, open S000 file with hex editor.
2. the existing 1st bootscreen bmp file from address 3CD0 to 3C103
3. you may replace it with your bmp (cut & paste to that range address)
diskimage_Ver.nb0
1. open diskimage_Ver.nb0 file with hex editor.
2. the existing 1st bootscreen bmp file from address 184CDC to 1BD111
3. you may replace it with your bmp (cut & paste to that range address)
================================================== ===
on ATOM EXEC
xip mode.
1. goto nk.exe, open S000 file with hex editor.
2. the existing 1st bootscreen bmp file from address 3D50 to 3C185
3. you may replace it with your bmp (cut & paste to that range address)
diskimage_Ver.nb0
1. open diskimage_Ver.nb0 file with hex editor.
2. the existing 1st bootscreen bmp file from address 184D5C to 1BD191
3. you may replace it with your bmp (cut & paste to that range address)
================================================== ===
done!, enjoy your own 1st bootscreen on your device
** I'll assume you already know how to replace the block data (range address) in Hex Editor **
cheers!!
=========================================
thx all for sharing your knowledge
Yup, thanks for this tutorial, tried it and it works like a charm, very easy once you get the hang of using the Hex editor.

Thankyou for you tutorial Abusalza, great work!
If we dont have corel Paint Shop but have Adobe Photoshop how can we adjust the image to that document size?
Any suggestions appreciated, thanks again.
well i think its pretty much the same.
but last time i used photoshop it saved size was 230.456 bytes.
so cut it the two byte using hex editor and its still showing fine

becarefull, your xip module could be ruined, because the bootscreen want a place to be located either, if you port the 23x.456, it wont be bm6, but bm9 or 8,.
So, it will take place more than you think,.
you have to use some program like corel (adobe photoshop doesnt works easily for me)
then it will create 230.454,.
regards,.
Microsoft Paint works perfectly too save-as 24-bit bitmap.

The use of the Rom Kitchen is at your own risk!
Note: This is NOT for beginners, you need to have a good understanding of flashing G3/G4 prophets
This is NOT for answering or asking basic info, use the wiki/search for that.
Rom Kitchen Installation:
Download and install MS .NET framework 2 first
Extract the file ‘Prophet_WM6_RK_S-Core.rar’ anywhere.
The Folder structure will look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Extract ‘FlashOS.zip’ and ‘rgu-hv.zip’ anywhere.
Using the Rom Kitchen in Steps:
STEP (0): Making an OEM Package:(optional, more later)
This step is not necessary at beginning, unless you want to include new OEM Package in the OEM dir of Kitchen.
STEP(1): Run BuildOS.exe:
it will look like this:
Here you can select / de-select any packages you require.
Make sure you don't select too many or it will overflow the rom and you will get any error in the CreateRom.bat step.
Click the green button when you are done and it will create the OS dump.
If you get errors during this, it is probably due to duplicate files/modules in SYS and OEM dirs or due to bad registry entries.
If they occur, it has to be fixed by deleting duplicate files/modules (make sure you know what you are deleting) and correcting the registry (its hard to track registry errors, only change one package at a time).
If there are no errors BuildOS.exe will finish and prompt ‘Done’.
The temp dir will have dump,boot.hv,boot.rgu and log.txt
Do not delete any content at this point.
STEP(2) (a): Editing default/User .hv files:
This can be skipped, but all depends upon need.
This is needed for example when you need to ‘remove’ some reg entries.
For example see:
The base rom used in this kitchen is from the wizard, so we probably need this type of removal again.
To do it , copy default.hv and user.hv( user may not need both) files from dump created above to rgu-hv folder.
Run respective batch file to convert them in *.rgu files and rename *.rgu files to *.txt
edit *.txt files in notepad.
Remember these points:
--------(i)Turn off Word Wrap in notepad
--------(ii)1st line is blank line, type “REGEDIT4”(without quotes)on this line
--------(iii)Make sure last line is blank line
--------(iv)Files should be saved as Unicode not ANSI after editing
--------(v)HKCR & HKLM falls in default.rgu
--------(vi)HKCU and HKU falls in user.rgu
When saving *.txt files in notepad,
--------Select Encoding as Unicode
--------Select file type ‘all’
--------Rename as *.rgu
Now run respective batch file to convert *.rgu file back to *.hv files. Original *.hv files present in rgu-hv dir will be replaced by newly edited *.hv files.
Move new *.hv files back to dump folder in temp dir.
STEP(2) (b): Editing main initflashfiles.dat, why ? (Coming soon)
STEP(3): Run CreateRom.bat:
This batch file uses the dump dir., boot.hv and boot.rgu files to create the OS.nb file.
If there are no errors, the newly created OS.nb is placed in the temp dir.
STEP(4): Flashing the OS:
- Downgrade to AKU 2.2 first (wm5)
- Move your new OS.nb from the temp dir to the FlashOS dir and run UpgradeRom.bat

(1)View attachment TOOLS+CreateROM.zip
Extract Zip and replace TOOLS dir and CreateROM.bat with old one in RK.
Modified File/TOOLS are optional, one can continue to work with old ones.
Info on Update #1
- Modified File/Tools repack imgfs block and hence OS.nb to reduced size!!
- Standard size of Shiped OS/Old cutom cook OS is 58368 KB(59,768,832 Byte)
- With the modified File/Tools new OS.nb can be less then 50 MB!!
- Hence its possible to include more OEM Packs and files untill the limit of 58368 KB
- Less imgfs blocks will not increase Storage.
- If OEM Packs/Files are deleted, initflashfile.dat must be edited, if not it will not boot properly
- Flashing reduced size OS.nb with FlashOS, may not prompt completion, so one has to wait as long as to approx 30 min or above to make it complete in hidden mode.
- If you add too many OEM/Files to the OS.nb greater than standard size without any error, but avoid such OS and dont risk ur device by flashing over size OS.nb
- experience with reduced size OS.nb - device switches off frequently after waking up, no other issue found yet.

its complete kitchen, u dont need any other rom to use with.
Kitchen uses anichillus's Core 2.n as base rom.
If u just use kitchen with all steps u will get a rom which looks as in post.

I answered my question by myself: it's explained in the PDF-File!
But I got another question:
Can I switch the Core-ROM? I'm customizing at the moment PDAViet 4.0.0.0.3 but I think it's not all to replace the OS.nb inside the Kitchen! Explain it please!

Hi animelover,
Nice to see u.
I have been out for some work and will complete remaining tutorial on first page.
Well, choice for Core rom just arises cuz i liked its speed and performence even when there is not much registry changes, i changed very little few reg to work with prophet, as it was consuming time of my work hour.
And its absolutely possible to port any custem rom to kitchen, that was my search which ends in a shape of this kitchen.
But as i stated in 1st post we should have a official WM6 for prophet then only the kitchen based on that will be perfect.
There is some inbuilt behaviour of BuildOS.exe, that it does not construct registry based on custom rom that has been ported to kitchen, rather it construct registry from deployed SYS/OEM structure.
Thats why when a custom rom ( say Smart1 v3 or any) ported in kitchen vanishes its customized registries on running BuildOS.exe, and newly created rom will have totally different registries than original one.
However original registries of custom rom r placed in SYS/Metadata but they r ignored during BuildOS.exe (Mods, please correct my findings if im wrong)
If there is a better chioce for a rom that should be ported, please mention, that will be ported in RK, but u know what i wrote above.
One has to make registry changes after BuildOS.exe to make rom more performative.
it looks promising,
when will tut on post#5 complete ?
Reduce imgfs size and put more OEM/Files
Extract Zip and replace TOOLS dir and CreateROM.bat with old one in RK.
Modified File/TOOLS are optional, one can continue to work with old ones.
Benefits & Facts of Enhancement #(1)
.....(1) Modified File/Tools repack imgfs block and hence OS.nb to reduced size!!
....(2) Standard size of Shiped OS/Old cutom cook OS is 58368 KB(59,768,832 Byte)
....(3)With modified File/Tools new OS.nb can be as less to 50 MB!!
....(4)Hence its possible to include more OEM Packs and files untill the limit of 58368 KB
....(5)Decrease in imgfs block does not grow Storage on flashed device.
....(6)If OEM Packs/Files r deleted, initflashfile.dat must be edited, if not then device could not be booted properly
....(7)Flashing reduced size OS.nb with FlashOS, may not prompt completion, so one has to wait as long as to approx 30 min or above to make it complete in hidden mode.
....(8)If too many OEM/Files included than these tools make OS.nb greater than standard size without any error, but avoid such OS and dont risk ur device by flashing over size OS.nb
....(9)My 2 days experience with reduce size OS.nb--- device switches off frequently after waking up, no other issue found yet.

This ROM is great. Beautifull bootscreen and finally sound for every tap, even the Start Menu.
One Problem:
When I change the backlight setting (everything off) and I switch off and on my device the backlight is gone. The only solution is to hard reset my device and set it up again. Is there a solution for?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
there is no such problem on my device, but its possible different devices shows little variation in performence.
try using without backlight off setting or power offsetting for some time, i think it may help or remake-reflash in freash way.
im still on enhancement work, but with slow pace. However there is not much to change as base rom provided by anichillus is already superb.
But still i will post some more enhancement before reviving whole kitchen with any new good base rom.

new core rom
I realy like to get a new core rom the one inside this kitchen is buging me.. as is restarts the prophet rapidly
Thanks gullum!
I only have some remaining questions:
First, is it correct, that the registry entries from the OEM-package are in the *strange-hex-code*.rgu? Do I need to enter this code anywhere? Is there a way to import this file directly into the Installation Creator or do I have to add the settings manually by editing the registry sections?
Second, how can I find out if there are any self registering or setup dll files that I have to specify during the setup process?
Sorry to bother you, if there is a thread or tutorial where this has been discussed before, just tell me which one it is.
I just downloaded the OEM.zip from the Wizard Forum and want to try some of the programs out.
Thanks again for your help!
PS: And yes, I have the same problems with the core here...my Prophet restarts every 10 inutes or so .

HOW To Make an OEM
Here is the tutorial for building an OEM, so, of course it can be used for any device,.
nb: try it at your own risk,.
OEM folder used as the place for any application that would be a default ROM application.
Here is step by step,.
1. Download & Install Hypercore Kitchen
2. Open Hypercore and go to panel/extra/CAB Analiser,.
3. Open or Drag and drop the .cab files that you would make it an OEM,.
4. Choose "XML" display then extract all cab files to a new folder,.
5. Go to "Registry tab", then copy all the registry setting from there, and paste to a new blank document
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6. The registry setting is absolutely unusable, to make it usable, it must be edited like this,.
(Before edited)
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\WM5torage_Class]
"ActivateFlags" = dword : 00000000
"DeviceName" = ""
"NLEDWrite" = dword : 0000FFFF
"NLEDRead" = dword : 0000FFFF
"idVendor" = dword : 0000045E ---------------------------------------> There is a space between "=" and "dword", its Wrong,.
"ReadOnly" = dword : 00000000
"Dll" = %CE1%\WM5torage\WM5torage.dll --------------------------> It have only one slices, its wrong,.
"Product" = "Windows Mobile Device"
(After edited)
REGEDIT4 -------------------------------------------------------------------> There must be REGEDIT4 at the TOP
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\WM5torage_Class]
"ActivateFlags"=dword:00000000
"DeviceName"=""
"NLEDWrite"=dword:0000FFFF
"NLEDRead"=dword:0000FFFF
"idVendor"=dword:0000045E ------------------------------------------> Take a look at this, there should be no spacing inside the registry,.
"ReadOnly"=dword:00000000
"Dll"=%CE1%\\WM5torage\\WM5torage.dll -------------------------> If the keys are pointing to somewhere else, it must be two slice like this,.
"Product"="Windows Mobile Device"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Leave one line empty at the BOTTOM,.
7. Generate GUID Name, (The generaor could be downloaded HERE)
8. Okay, save it in UNICODE encoding, using (Generated GUID Name).rgu
9. Make another blank document, and rename it with, (Generated GUID Name).dsm
(The generated GUID name between .rgu and .dsm must be the same)
10. Make a "initflashfiles.txt",. -------> (I give the tutorial below,.)
HOW To Make a initflashfiles.txt
initflashfiles.txt used to copy a file from specified location, to another specified location,.
Here is the step by step,.
1. Just make a new blank document
2. Save that document as initflashfiles.txt
What should you write inside initflashfiles.txt?? you should write this (below),.
The formula is:
Directory("DESTINATION FOLDER"):-File("DESIRED FILENAME","FILE SOURCE")
So, it will be like this,.
-------> Means that you want to copy the file named WM5torage.lnk in \Windows folder, to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System folder,.
There you go, you have one working initflashfiles.txt now,.
--- Finally, make it in one folder, and give it a name, ex: OEM_WM5torage ---
NB:
That you have to remember when you build an OEM:
a. There must be REGEDIT4 at the TOP
b. Leave one line empty at the BOTTOM
c. Dont use Wordwrap view
d. Save with (GUIDname).rgu and use UNICODE encoding
GOOD LUCK,.
Happy ROM Cooking to all of you,.

Hi Garmin,
Thank you for the tutorial to make OEM. wonderful!
Your tutorial is good for standalone .exe files
but if you don't mind if i ask about cabs?
I have a question about cabs files:
how to input serial number into the cabs registry for programs Cabs that has serial activation? so everytime i install it.. it doesn't need to enter serial?
for example: i need to put "modified cabs" to extended rom. so it will install by itself every time i do hard reset.
Thank you garmin.

Every apps is different. So if don't know where a reg patch (sn. insert in registry), that's unable to create registry
Yup agreed with abusalza, every apps is different and they store their serial and reg key differently. i found some at the registry, and some on the file folder itself, some even encode them in the registry.
For me i key in the serial and search for it in the registry, den backup the key, and create cab for the registration and placing of ringtones and placing of shortcuts (for appz and games that installed on storage)
This ways saved me many hours when i will tryin to cook my own ROM or tryin out new appz
Just wanna thank Garmin for creating this thread and really helped me alot!!
thank very much bro!!!

Some appz and gamez include a setup.dll in the cab which insert reg values. Anyone know how to decode it? This will really help in building OEM

I want to change the 3 bootscreens of our Atom, but I'm not good at photoshop nor designing. Any helps from you are appreciated.
1.The pictures' size must be 240px x 320px x 96dpi, in both .bmp and .png
2.It should contain the text "Atom" for our unique devices.
3.One more thing, Atom is not from HTC so I think we don't need the HTC logo
The credit will come to the most beautiful chosen one.
Thank you so much......................
I really need your helps, please......................................
Below is the picture from jiggs' rom, which is the second bootscreen. Maybe what I talk above is not clear about the size of the picture so you can find some infos about the picture yourself

thanks, I saw them b4, but the screens were too black, and they are in .png not in .bmp. I tried to convert them to .bmp but they have a white lign at the left and bottom of the screen when Atom reboots.
If you can just convert and rename them as BootScr.bmp and put one of them into \windows you will have the new second bootscreen.
btw, more details about our bootscreen at the first post

okay fellas, time to learn how to change the 1st bootscreen on your atom.
1. prepare your 1st boot screen 240 X 320 in bmp format
2. flip vertical (Must!!) and save it. file size is 230,454 bytes
3. Open your bmp file with Hex Editor (e.g. XVI32)
now you can change your 1st bootscreen either in nk.exe (inside xip during cooking) or on the diskimage_Ver.nb0
=====================================================
on ATOM/ATOM Pure
xip mode.
1. goto nk.exe, open S000 file with hex editor.
2. the existing 1st bootscreen bmp file from address 3CD0 to 3C103
3. you may replace it with your bmp (cut & paste to that range address)
diskimage_Ver.nb0
1. open diskimage_Ver.nb0 file with hex editor.
2. the existing 1st bootscreen bmp file from address 184CDC to 1BD111
3. you may replace it with your bmp (cut & paste to that range address)
=====================================================
on ATOM EXEC
xip mode.
1. goto nk.exe, open S000 file with hex editor.
2. the existing 1st bootscreen bmp file from address 3D50 to 3C185
3. you may replace it with your bmp (cut & paste to that range address)
diskimage_Ver.nb0
1. open diskimage_Ver.nb0 file with hex editor.
2. the existing 1st bootscreen bmp file from address 184D5C to 1BD191
3. you may replace it with your bmp (cut & paste to that range address)
=====================================================
done!, enjoy your own 1st bootscreen on your device
** I'll assume you already know how to replace the block data (range address) in Hex Editor **
cheers!!
Thanks for the details chartreux, from your post now I know one more way to change the first bootscreen (in diskimage_Ver.nb0)
Now we need a completely new Boot screen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then click on Open Cab File and navigate to your cab file and Click Open.
Wait until it shows you done Confirmation window. Then navigate to the cab folder and you will see new folder with OEm package. This tool will generate initflashfiles.txt, option.xml, .dsm and .rgu for the kitchen ROM.
Copy the OEM package to your kitchen and have fun with customizing your Rom
(found this somewhere on internet, correct me if i m wrong)
Great work! Nicely done tut. Here is another method to do so. This one is a bit faster but it doesn't always works.
Cab2OEM is also a free software that can be used to convert cabs to packages. This software is a command-line utility with no GUI but it does its job pretty well.
Cabs are of two types, the older ones with an inf file with extension .000 inside that describes the installation process and the newer ones with a _setup.xml files. Cab2OEM works on XML ones only.
Usage:
Its simple, just fire up a command prompt and run this command:
Code:
Cab2OEM -f <path to cab>
Here, replace path to cab with a real path. In a few seconds, it will convert the cab into a folder in the current directory.
NOTE: Cab2OEM creates an option.xml file inside the package which provides a description to the package that can be seen while running build os. but by default, it doesn't adds the package to the buildos list. I recommend you to delete this file.
This method is not as advance as Package Creator but its a quick and dirty one Package Creator can work with all cab files.
The file is attached with this post.
Great Work
Good going man....
Can you suggest some good and easy Kitchen for old gene..
Can i also include cracked applications...in custom ROM
Ramerson's kitchen is the easiest one i have ever seen. But the whole process of cooking ROM can never be easy, no matter which kitchen you use.
We strictly dont support cracking etc here so no answer for that.
Many thanks Krazy.......
Can ur ROMs be used to delete some packages and include some freewares...
please guide me about the pagepool.....what are disadvantages of increasing or decreasing it...does it help in increasing RAM....
I read about a thread which says RAM can be increased by deleting ExtROM...
Your expert comments please....
Also the Ramerson's kitchen link and "How to gude" if possible........
That would be nice of you....
Heres a quick response:
1. Yes my roms can be dumped and modified as per your needs. The only thing you need is the knowledge of how to dump them properly for recooking. For that refer to ramerson's tut.
2. Pagepool is that reserved part of memory that is never available for the programs to use and iit is used by the OS to maintain its internal state, data structures and so on. More the pagepool memory, more resources the OS will have and more simualtaneous running programs you can have. But this clashes with the fact that programs also need RAM for other purposes other than the OS provided resources. So the contradiction is that you cant run more programs simualtaeously id you have less RAM. So increasing Pagepool decreases RAM but increases OS resources, Decreasing page pool increases free ram and decreases OS resources. Chefs have to keep a balance between that. For gene, 6 MB of Page Pool is recommended, keeping in mind all the specs of the devices. Pagepool has to be changed everytime you recook the ROM as of now.
3. My ROMS use 4 MB of ExtROM and that is optimal, by default you have 10 MB of ExtROM. SO no need to messup with that, device doesnt boots with extroms smaller than that. Ramerson has also confirmed this.
4. Ramerson Kitchen is a seprate thread in this same forum, use your eyes and mind for that. How to Guide is currently not available as step by step, but Ramerson's tut which is a sticky post, will help you greatly.
I hope my answers helped.
o my god my head is spinning
hi guys
i tried reading all this and my god o god my head went for a spin i think for me to do any thing cook rom and all this in this chapter will take me a long long time of reading which im realy not great at

u guys are great man hats off to all off u and thanks a million
^Thanks Hari. Actually the gene you are having in your hand is not very less complex than any other computer. So apart from some basic differences, most of the elements of computer engineering can be applied to this small buddy as they are applied to computers. Thats why it seems so darned techie, coz it is techie
i meant every word
hi
to all u great contributors to this great forum i thing all these tuts available are a great eye opener to a totally non techi guys like me who uses ur great services which you actually do for free i having read many many tuts have clearly understood the time u are spending for us to enjoy and i really really say from my heart hats off to u guys and thanks for ur great contribution
and in the future when things get better for me i will start donating
and the funny thing is i sell computers for around 10+yrs
but this info in the tuts is a total head spinner for me
getting to next level

U r true krazy about technology......

SPB Mobile shell is not an emulator, its a shell replacement which actually runs on the top of the existing shell32.exe shell. There is no extra page pool requirement for it to run. 6 MB would be fine.

I do not have a straight solution for this, But here is what I did, I exported the registry key, saved it as rgu and then used package manager 5.4 to make it into a package.
Registry file is not properly formatted. Keep following points in mind :
1. Registry file (.rgu) must be in unicode format, not ANSI, which is the default saving format of Windows Notepad. You can change it in the save file dialog of notepad.
2. The file must begin with the word REGEDIT4 in the first line saperately.
3. There should be atleast one or two blank lines at the end of the file.
4. Entries in the files should be properly formatted. Following are the general values and their formattings that you will find in rgu files :
a. Path to hives must be covered in square brackets, ex : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft]
b. All string values must be formatted like this : "Name"="Value". If there is a file path inside the string, it should be having \\ instead of \ as separator. Ex: "FilePath"="\\Windows\\AudioManager.exe"
c. All DWORD values should be in this format : "Name"=dword:8 digit number. Ex : "BacklightOff"=dword:00000001
d. All binary values should be formatted as : "Name"=hex:v1,v2,v3,v4...... Ex: "AValue"=hex:00,00,11,01,10
Follow these guidelines and your registry file will compile fine.
Thanks a lot Krazy...thats a valuable information .... i ll check the rgu files ... correct them and give a shot.....
and thank you Addicted2xda for your inputs... i ll try this one also ..
Also please note, inside the dump folder, there is a text file that contains the error log. The last 2-3 lines of this file actually describes in which file the error occured. Actually the Windows Mobile Registry is compiled from rgu files using a program called rgucomp.exe and is stored in files ending with extention .hv. Just for your information
Good luck!

I would love to know that to, because I got my hands on the pictures, but still have no idea of moding it
First look into how to Edit and Customize a DLL and MUI.
Then:
Here are the Possible files you need to edit to complete the Taskbar Icon set:
(may need to be updated)
Here are the tools that you need:
*RecMod Tool - To convert a module to a flat DLL or MUI file
*
UnSigner - To UnSign the DLL or MUI file
*
Resource Compiler/Decompiler - To edit the DLL or MUI components
*
Icon Maker - To create and edit icons
*
Signer - To ReSign the DLL or MUI files
You can download these Free Tools from HERE.
You can have some icons even placed in the MUI files so same procedure will be applied to MUI and for the DLL files. Here an taking an example of a DLL file.
Once you are ready with these tools you can proceed to the following steps:
1. Get the DLL file you want to edit
If you have a DLL flat file then just move to Step 2 else if you have a Module then just Convert it to a Flat DLL file using the Recmod Tools provided. Note it that you cannot edit a module but only a flat file.
2. UnSign the DLL file
You need to first remove the signed certificate from the DLL first. Drag the DLL file over UnSigner.exe. Done. You’ll notice the size of DLL file increased a little.
3. Get measure of Icons
Open the DLL file in the Resource Hacker Application and make a note of all the Icons you need to replace and their respective dimensions. This way you can easily get the measure of the Icons you need to create to replace the Default Icons. Here we take the example of tshres.192.dll,
A more simpler way is to extracting all the icons of the DLL in a folder first. Just go to Actions/Save all Resources and save the “.rc” file in a new folder. This will extract all the default icons present in that DLL.
You can this way find out what all icons that DLL caters.
4. Prepare new Icons to add to your DLL
Use Icon Maker and create the icons to be replaced in the DLL. But you need to make sure that the size of Icons are correct for each Resolution of the Device you want to use it on. I’ll tell you the Dimension of icons for W/VGA devices and for W/QVGA you can reduce them to half.
*
Taskbar Icons(Battery Signal, Volume, etc.) - 32x32px
*
Start Button(WM 6.1) - 36x41px
*
Start Button(WM 6.5) - 32x32px
*
Soft Key Buttons(WM 6.5.x) - 48x48px
Now there may be few other Icons such as for the Folders, Dialer, etc. So the dimension of these you need to be aware of in Step 3.
5. Replacing the Icons in the DLL file
Now you must have already opened the DLL file in the Resource Hacker Application. So now you need to individually replace each icon with the new ones you created in step 4. Just right click on the Icon Resource you want to change and select “Replace Resource”.
Then simply browse to the respective icon you created in Step 4 which you want to add.
6. ReSign the DLL
The last thing you need to do is ReSign the DLL. For doing this:
1.
Extract the msigntools.7z to a separate folder.
2.
Copy the DLL inside that folder
3.
Click on siggner.exe and browse select that DLL file. You can select multiple files aswel.
4.
Next just click on “Start Sign Process”. Instantly all the DLL files will be signed and there.
5.
To check whether they got signed or not, notice that reduced file size of the DLL and also a new Text file is created mentioning “Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped. Succeeded”. Which means Signing process was Successful.
7. Edit the BMP files
The BMP files are used for showing icons of Bluetooth and Headset as shown in the first Image. Not the behind properly editing these icons is, making 2files for each icon, one for the Icon with Black Background and another with the Icon area Back and the background being white. Do this for all these BMP files and you can replace them aswel in the Windows Folder.
This way the whole process is complete and not you can replace this DLL in your windows folder or Create a Cab file or just cook it in the Rom.

Not as easy as you might think. You need to get your hands on software to unsign the dll. Then you need to be able to explore it and replace the images within it. Then you need to correctly resign the dll (different software!). Plus, there is more than one file involved in the taskbar so be prepared for a lot of work. Even then you almost always run into problems signing the dll correctly and often end up with no volume icon showing, problems with HTC volume control, even no taskbar icons at all! Rear up a lot before you go too far, there are tutorials out there (I suggest you wait for Conan's link).
Anyway, have fun! Look forward to a GB taskbar sometime on Monday given your recent progress111

Hey MrB,
Your probably better off following santod's advice as its more comprehensive and easier to follow that the link I mentioned. Heres the link anyway though
Looking forward to your gingerbread flavoured taskbar
tks all. i will try~
Wow~ too much thing @[email protected]""""
I can give you some tips on making this easier. Since you've extracted the files from the apk im pretty sure you know that you'll have to convert them to png then convert them to .ico . They will not work normally on any size make sure it's 32x32 but after you convert them. If you feel that the default icons are confusing download and extract Dark Ninja's android. If you are used to that. I used his desire as the base. I created my icons and easily placed them since they are easy to notice.
If you need any help PM me since I have been working on a pink and blue version of gingerbread I can share my files with you if like.
tks Lunie~
i'm resizing 32x32 and convert to ico everything is fine now .

I gotta stop hitting that Thanks button when I try to quote a post, lol.
Anyway, did you resign after replacing images?

I looked into your files, they all good besides the htcvolume.dll and phcanOverbmp.dll which are corrupted. Both those files cannot be signed.
The taskbar looks nice but I would rather prefer to see all the green replaced by blue color, I am sure your work will get more success in blue
I might find the time to help you to finish this taskbar in the coming week, just let me know by pm
