Can anyone teach me how to make custom made folder icons just like garmin did and the other cookers out there? thanks ^_^
you need a tool like "reshacker" to change the resources of IconRes.dll (file wherein the folder icon stored)

how to do it,brother? tell me step by step please.
- download the reshacker Here!
- extract RESOURCE_HACKER.zip in any folder you like.
- get the IconRes.dll from your \device\windows folder
- go to folder wherein you extracted reshacker. run reshacker.exe
- open IconRes.dll, you will see a "tree map" on the left side panel. click the folder named "icon" then select the icon you wish to change. after that, click "Action" from pull down menu then "replace icon". as easy as that....
- dont forget to save your work and bring it back again to \device\windows folder.

ShellRes.dll or IconRes.dll

ShellRes.dll or IconRes.dll
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Again please!
ShellRes.dll is as same as ShellRes.dll0409mui isn't it?
It seems that is impossible to copy the Shellres.dll from windows folder to the pc. Using totalcommander it doesn't allow me to copy it to anywhere.
Any ideas?
(running stock wm6)
I don't see why anyone should go to all this trouble. All you need to do to change a folder's icon is to create an icon.lnk file (make it hidden so it doesn't show up) and change the shortcut to whatever path your icon is located. For example, \windows\niceicon.ico or \my documents\myshellres.dll -654
Hacking of course does make a nice hobby

While playing (a bit too much), I must have deleted the password setup icon/file from settings and cannot change or disable the password screen. Anyone knows what the file name is and can post it here or email me the file. I know the password and can get in but I really don't need it and would like to disable it.
The shortcut is exactly like this:
"ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,1"
>> without "" quotes

Thanks ezzkht, but how do I create the shortcut?
Try to copy any shortcut from \windows\start menu\programs\
and paste it to the location you want, rename it & edit it using Total Commander (right-click on it & choose Properties, then go to Shortcut tab and change the TARGET parameter to "ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,1" without quotes.
The icon will automatically change to the password icon

Sorry ezzkht, I did exactly what you said but it did not work. Tried with and without quotes, tried 0 instead of 1 but the icon never changes to the password icon just an executable icon but nothing happens when I click on it.
OH yes you are right!! sorry!
Ok here's the shortcut, I just get it from my device..
I opened it with a HEX editor & found the following line inside it:
51#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,1?\Windows\cplmain.cpl,-6000
plz tell me if it worked with you
Hi ezzkht, I tried but this also does not seem to work.
I checked the registery and their is a mention of a Password.cpl in the Windows directory which is not in mine. I installed logologin and picturepassword and have recently removed them, don't know if they might have also removed this file. It may be the the problem, do you have this file.
Neither me, I don't have password.cpl file in \windows directory!!
I have cplmain.cpl only!
I noticed that the password link points to cplmain.cpl with a parameter of : password.cpl
I guess that cplmain.cpl is a composite file which contains alot of programs, one of them is the password program!
Do u have the cplmain.cpl in windows directory??

Thanks ezzkht, this was good but it still did'nt work. I think somewhere their is a file missing. I will try emailing MS and see if they have an answer.
You welcome, but I did nothing!!
A hard reset could help, unless you are not willing to install your programs all over again!

You got that right, finally got all the programs and the look I want. I am going to do a backup via Activsync and a clone backup tonight at home then if all else fails I will do a HR, copy any missing files from the windows directory and reinstall my backups.
Seems a great idea :wink:
Compare the two WINDOWS directories, and copy only the missing files..
Good luck dude

Yes i got it, just copy Foldericon.icl to \windows folder dan copy icon.lnk to the folder you want to change (modify Attribute to hidden).
Change shortcut text for change the icon (just like PHM Foldericon.dll)
Sample :
\windows\foldericon.icl,-1
\windows\foldericon.icl,-2
\windows\foldericon.icl,-3
etc :wink:
PS: If your screen turn white when you open program from start menu for the first time just close it and opened again...

Yes i change the sortcut text. Use pocket explorer like resco explorer, total commander, Ms Explorer or else, browse at \windows\start menu\progams\ and rename it as u like, all sortcut in programs is in there..... :wink:
Don't use sync browse from PC to rename the sortcut text, it won't work for standart file like xbackup, stk, pocket word etc... :wink: :wink:

ResHacker or Restorator
By Reshacker i can't change because after change I can't start application because there is no digital certificate. How to change by restorator??
When editing with both ResHacker and Restorator you need to digitally sign this modified exe/dll file.
If you are using one of my ROMs, you just need to sign it by attached utlity. But if you are using any another roms, you need to install Windows Mobile 6 SDK certificates and then sign your file by attached app.
To sign your files just launch this application and select a folder where these files located, and click OK.
Big thanks for You Erofich. It's working perfect.
Big thanks for You Erofich. It's working perfect.
How did you change the folder icon? When I open reshacker, it opens up the folder and show what is in that folder. Am I looking at the wrong place?
P.S. I'm on windows mobile standard and not a PPC, I came to here after I did a search.
take an Office Mobile folder for example, do you see icon.lnk here (its hidden)? that's it, open it with Notepad and change path to icon
Hallo,
Here is little tutorial:
How to change icons for app!
Some1 wanted me to create this and i have free time now, so:
1.)
Things you need:
original app
your custom icon (size should be 48x48)
win rar / 7zip
2.)
Unpack APK
3.)
Find file, for example: ic_launcher_settings.png (for settings.apk)
It should be in: res/drawable-mdpi or res/drawable-ldpi (dont know which icon phone uses, just replace both)
4.)
Rename you icon to, for example: ic_launcher_settings.png (for settings.apk)
5.)
Replace it
6.)
Final step is add files to old settings.apk archive and using root explorer copy it into /system/app/
DONE!
Thx for the tutorial

Hi there! Just wanna share..
Just a basic background on how to theme your ROMS. - ofcourse, give thanks to the developer of your ROMs! .
I made this thread for those users who have personal wishes for their Phones. Ofcourse, ROM developers cannot please all of its users. so just make your own and be happy!.
I just made it easy for easy understanding and for the newbies.
Tried so many times and tested
I've already tried editing the systemUI.apk of different ROMs.
Here's what I did :
FIRST : Download 7zip to open the archived apk. - that's free.
Extracting first the Zip File..
(make sure you copy the original before extracting it for back up)
1. Download the ROM.zip and extract it to your PC.
2. Go to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi\
3. View the PNG files you wanted to change and make sure to remember its' file name.
4. After editing/changing the file/image you wanted, you can save it anywhere from your PC, let's say on your Desktop.
- Make sure that the file name still remains as is..
*After you're done editing, updating the PNG files you wish to change, follow this steps to update the zip file :
NOTE : You can apply transparency by editing the PNG file to photoshop by reducing the opacity of the image
1. Go to the original ZIP file of ROM.Zip from your PC
2. Right Click the folder and select 7 ZIP -->> open archive
3. Close all of windows/Browers (or minimize)
4. Go to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi\ and it will open a new window of 7zip showing the files inside the zip.
5. Now, given your edited PNG files or downloaded png files (assuming that files are located in your desktop). - Click and simply DRAG the file(s) from your desktop to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi\ .
6. It will ask you to confirm the action for it will replace the existing PNG file that you're trying to change.
7. Make sure that the file name of the one you edited/downloaded are THE SAME. -
8. After dragging and replacing the files you wanted, then you're good to go!
9. Close the 7zip window and that's it!.
You can now install the .zip by copying the UPDATED zip file to your SD Card.
(Note: Make sure to copy the updated one, not the backed up one)
Install the zip file from the original thread's instructions and reboot twice.
After that, you have now a customized systemUI.apk.
For those who do not want to reinstall the whole package.. follow these steps:
1. I assumed that you have the zip file of your ROM.
2. Extract it and go to \system\app\
3. Separate the SystemUi.apk - put it on your desktop. create a back up,
Right Click SystemUi.apk and select 7 ZIP -->> extract here - just to view the files you wanted to change.
Just go the folder and search for the PNG files.
4. Right Click SystemUi.apk and select 7 ZIP -->> open archive.
5. Go to \res\drawable-ldpi\
6. Click and simply DRAG the PNG file(s) from your desktop to \res\drawable-ldpi\
7. It will ask you to confirm the action for it will replace the existing PNG file that you're trying to change.
8. Make sure that the file name of the one you edited/downloaded are THE SAME. -
9. After dragging and replacing the files you wanted, then you're good to go!
APPLYING :
1. Download and install rootexplorer.apk
2. Download the png files you wanted to update.
3. Copy and paste the NEW SystemUi.apk that you have updated/Edited to your SD card.
4. Open root explorer in your galaxy y then go and tap MOUNT R/W.
5. Go to \SDCard and go to new SystemUI.apk that you have updated.
6. Long press the file and select copy
7. Press back and go to \system\app - tap MOUNT R/W at the top.
8. Paste the new SystemUI.apk from there.
(Note : You will encounter a lot of force closes for the exixsting systemui is currently being used by your phone. - just ignore it a lot and scroll down to look for the new SystemUI.apk.
9. Once you get there, long press on it and select permissions:
from the pop up, make the checked one like this :
•___•____ •
•___ .____.
•___ .____.
where Dots are the checked one - Bigger dots
After encountering a lot of force closes, then reboot the phone and that's it!
(Force Closes are normal, DON't PANIC - logically, you are currently using your systemUI.apk so just ignore it
NOTE : You can also apply the same steps in editing system files apps, just edit the .png files and locate it using 7zip(when you already opened it). Have a little LOGIC on how to edit system app background - same process. just different apk files and directory
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU - IT COSTS NOTHING ;]
nice guide
you can also add this:
Install via ADB:
adb root
adb remount
adb push [file location in PC] /system/app/systemui.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
no need to set permissions via ADB
also its better to use apk multitool since it can compile/decompile the apk's, if you extract the apk using 7zip or archive softwares you can't read the XML's and you can't compile them properly which results to force close issues when pushing into system

Thanks! not that sure how to use that that's why I made it my on way
more easy steps and understandable for newbies.
EDIT :
Yes you it will require to extract the apk files but just to view the image you wanted to change.. the original apk file will be opened thru 7zip and just replace the selected png. It is not recompiling the apk file at all
Tried and tested by the way
try and test it out yourself:
a very powerful apk reverse engineering tool:
APK MULTITOOL

Hmm... if you want a default wallpaper, create a folder named "Wallpaper" inside "SYSTEM" folder and create another folder inside it named "default_wallpaper" then put the jpg file you wanted..
(you can use rootexplorer)
make sure that the file name of the default wallpaper is "default_wallpaper.jpg"
