I know this is purely cosmetic but it really does bug me, lol!!
Anyone managed to get a 3G icon instead of the U on the 1.35 HTC SA ROM??
My original orange UK rom had this.....
S.K.

What T-Mobile ext ROM should I get this from?? Tried the T-Mobile_UK_Vario_2_ExtROM_WWE.zip on the ftp but cant seem to find the correct cab.
S.K.

Ok, tried installing this with no effect, the U is still displayed....
Any ideas?? Try after a hard reset perhaps with no ext rom installed??
UPDATE: Tried hard resetting and installing the whole ext rom from T-Mobile but have had no luck. Still have a U instead of 3G
Any other ideas??
S.K.
look at cab files installed in \windows\preautorun*
woh...tat's coool.....is that anyway to do it MANUALLY>???
I have installed this file!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=14522
Just only install it and reset!
Change the 3G icon From "U" to "3G"
I attached a zip file which contain a dll file : "phcanOverbmp.dll"
Step:
1. Copy to \Windows and will overwrite the existing one.
2. Soft Reset.
Make sure you backup the orginial one "phcanOverbmp.dll" in case you encounter any problem.
I'd like also to change the 3g icon with the U. Thanks
while we are at it could we possibly make this so the G is an E??

Yeah!! This worked. Was a bit dubious about replacing my current dll with this one since the file size is only about 1/3 of the original but it worked!!
I now have a 3G icon istead of a U and so far have found no bad side effects.
I have also attached here my original dll so that people may change their 3G icon to a U if they so wish.
Instructions are the same as the quote, but you must copy to the device first and then copy it to windows using a file explorer on your phone. It will not copy direct to windows through activesync (Access Denied)
Cheers peeps

When I did this, (1) I can copy the file from windows to my storage card as a backup, but (2) I cannot delete it, and (3) nor can I copy your file to overwrite the original one in \windows - it says, it is etiher access is denied, or the file is being used. Any idea whe I should do?
Thanks.

Hi
I've opened the phcanOverbmp.dll with "xnresourceeditor" and it contains only the symbol and the "two arrow-connection-animation" and some other icons.
The "G" must be in an other .dll.
You must only find the right one and then you can edit the icon to whatever you want.

Hi
Maybe an program takes acess to the .dll ? I would try a softreset and switch off the phone-part in the comm-manager.
you've done it once, why it shouldn't go a second time ?

The exact error meaasge I get on my phone using Resco Explorer 5.42 is "Cannot overwritefile 'phcanOverbmp.dll'. The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file."
Shame, i'm trying to have a look at the Nicer 3G icon that has been posted here.

Use Total Commander for deleting write protection of your windwos files. Goto windows, Search, and search all png- and brn-files, mark them and goto properties. Unmark "Read only" and press okay.
Now you must replace the windows files with your theme files...here with the welcomehead.96

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...

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

hey there...i was wondering if anyone could take a sec to help a n00b out...
i've been working on a rom (6.5 build 23544) using Ervius visual Kitchen for gene by BesFen for a few days...i've finally found all the packages i want and made a few ones myself...i made a test rom and its running well...
but there's still one huge hole left in my finished build...so i just needed some help i.e. needed to know a few things
1. where do i change the the default splash screen (the orange windows image) that pops up after the boot screen
2. where to replace the startup gif image and wav sound
3. how to set an external theme as my default and removing the inbuilt themes that come bundled with the 6.5 builds
4. how to change the default icons (i have an icon pack as well a cab file of the same)
5. if there is a way to set up a shutdown animation and splash screen in the kitchen before creating the rom
6. edit any other settings and tweaks while still in the kitchen phase
7. change the start menu icons for the softkey buttons and start menu
8. edit the taskbar and softkey bar to make it transparent on the today screen as well as inside the menu
9. remove default ringtones and replace them with our own
i tried searching the net and going through the posts here but i'm drawing blanks...
i'd appreciate any solutions that come my way!!
solutions!!
found a few solutions myself...a lil' help from the boards...
if anyone else is interested in them, here they are-
1. the splash screen can be changed by replacing the welcomehead.96.png in the "SYS\28230\dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320\COMMON\Redist_dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320\" folder file with your own
while you're at it, you could replace the complete.96.gif file too
*but make sure that you have edited your images to the correct format and resolution before making the changes
2. the animated.gif and bootuphtc.wav files in the "kitchen\OEM\OLDGENE\COMMON\OEMOPERATORS" folder can be replaced with your own
4. add your icons in the "kitchen\SYS\28230\dpi_96\COMMON\Base_DPI_96" folder thereby replacing the default icons
*make sure that the names of the icons you add to this folder is the same as the default icons
6. to change the rom's date and give it your own name, make changes in the "mxipupdate_OEMVERSION_100.provxml" file in the "kitchen\OEM\OLDGENE\COMMON\OEMVERSION" folder,
this can be done by opening the file in notepad and making your changes in the 'value' section
do correct me or suggest an easier method if known to you
as for problems 3,5,7,8 and 9...research and testing is underway...hope to get past that hurdle soon...
use the attached folder and put it inside OEM
solve your ringtone by editing the *.rgu file and initflashfiles.txt file available in this folder
solve your theme problem by editing the *.rgu file and initflashfiles.txt file available in this folder
Note: I have used two different mp3 file for ringtone n message notification

any idea about gettin transparent task bars and menu bars??
i wanted to make them completely transparent, not transluscent...
i've gotten transluscent ones working in the start menu but i can't do anything about the today screen!!

you could just add the theme you want ( in .tsk format) in the kitchen\SYS\Themes_Lang_0409_DPI_96_RESH_240_RESV_320 folder...
tried it out and worked well...
all you have to do is go into settings\today\ when the phone starts and select which one you want...
as for setting your own theme as default...clueless...
guessing you have to extract all files from the theme and place them in the kitchen\dpi_96\COMMON\Base_DPI_96 folder and edit dsm and rgu's from somewhere to set it as default
personally...i've found a loophole to the whole theme problem (pardon the pun) so i don't bother with it anymore
more solutions...
3. to remove the inbuilt themes like dvf green, vera wang red, etc. etc. just delete the theme_dpi_96 folder in the kitchen\SYS\23544\dpi_96\COMMON folder...
to add your own themes copy the .tsk files into the kitchen\SYS\23544\dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320\0409\Themes_Lang_0409_DPI_96_RESH_240_RESV_320 folder and delete the inbuilt .tsk files you'll find there
*NOTE*
for those who want to have a modified theme, i suggest editing the .png images in the folder mentioned below...the ones with "classicblue" "default" and "black" at the start of their name to your preference and leaving the classicblue.tsk file untouched so that this theme becomes your own in case you install another theme and want to go back to your edited theme
7. edit the .png images in the kitchen\SYS\23544\dpi_96\COMMON\Base_DPI_96 folder...
the softkey icons are the ones with names like default_toolbarIconBubbleButton.png...they're all around the same area, so easy to find...
for editing, i suggest using photoshop of you have it, else an easier alternative is the paint.net editor available at http://paint.net
8. now i couldn't get a transparent taskbar and softkey bar on the today screen without using titanium but i did manage to get it to be fractionally more translucent but editing the .png files found in the folder mentioned above
i'll attach the files if needed...
my ROM's coming along so i'll keep you posted with more solutions as they come along...have fun cooking!!

Remove all landscape theme files, bcs no-one uses the GENE in landscape mode and it will make the ROM lighter in weight

I want to edit my waiting cursor,using Resco,I tried several times to
copy shellres.192.dll from HD2\Windows\ to stoeage card,but all my
efforts was in vain, system deniede me.Can anyone help me? By the way,
I can use Resco to copy another shellres.192.dll to overwrite the
original one! Thanks!

Thank you a lot! Using ROMExtractor, I have another "shellres.192.dll" on my
storage card!
But another question:My purpose is to use ResourceHacker to chang BMP for
waiting cursor which is hidden in "shellres.192.dll". But when I Extract
"shellres.192.dll" from \windows\ to \Storage Card\, then I just copy it back to
windows,(didn't do anything else),I find the "Setting" panel has been
changed,the three sub-panels: Personal,system,connections, missed!
I don't know why. Please help me,if can. Thanks!!!
rather than just copy it back into windows, make the file into a cab that installs it to windows. just copying files over rom files doesn't usually work.

Thanks for the instruction! I use WinCE CAB Manager3.0 to make a cab named VagrantMan Wait Cursor.cab.
It shows the same result: the Wait Cursor works well, but I find the "Setting" panel has been
changed,the three sub-panels: Personal,system,connections, missed!
Are you kind enough to check my cab? Is there anything wrong?
