Hi guys,
I am trying to make a lockscreen and I was wondering how to remove the arrows on the windows lockscreen on CHT2. It would be great if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance,
G
EDIT: Thanks to santod040 I was able to make a cab... it's attached on this post.
have a read of the lockscreen link in my sig

Thanks but how do I get it to work for CHT2 lockscreen and not the original windows one...
sorry, not looked at the difference. if its still a .cpr file then its the same.
Im assuming you mean the "windows" cht lockscreen, not the manila or hd mini.....
I think this option must still utilise elements of the traditional wm lockscreen (those mentioned in sams link) and just skin the slider because Ive never come across those arrows in any of the files installed by CHT.........
You'd probably get an answer to this one over in themes and apps or even in the CHT thread.
So I've been checking out all the png files (and soon the manila files) to see which ones are arrows and I am changing them to transparent images - I hope that will work.
Anyways I tried skinning already - that didn't work. Lets hope I can find the image lol
They're not in with the cht files...
I've been through em all. Unless they are tucked away in an m9 or luau file but I haven't noticed any referring to the lockscreen.
Sam's link is the key to this one I think.
Chipped From The Bunker Via A Sandwedge
So I haven't been through the cht files but I'll trust you. In the png files in the windows folder there are identical arrows but after changing them they still show up. I tried playing around with the cpr file and I think that you guys are right - But I think Co0kie made his own cpr file which I also cant find...
Wait no it cant be the cpr files - In order to change a cht lockscreen slider you must add a manilla file - but ever cpr file says the slider exists as \windows\slider or something like that with a png at the end!
Ill ask around for an answer to this one because its bugging the hell out of me now

Thanks man that would be awesome if you could find the answer!!!
So, Conan asked me if I would look at this thread for you.
What I will tell you, is that the .cpr file is mostly a map of the lockscreen layout.
It determines sizes and positions of each element and can be easily edited with Chome Editor.
Although the images you seek are simple .png's within the Windows folder.
Should be named:
htc_arr_loop_r4.png
htc_arr_loop_l4.png
Both are 58x26
Hope that helps.
Thanks so much for that man
Was driving myself nuts looking for those pesky little arrows

That doesnt affect CHT's lockscreen - I already changed those to blank pngs and nothing changed... any other ideas?

Hmm, ok, then I must dig a little.
I will get back to you on this again then.
Sorry about that, I thought for sure they were shared by both.
I will check it on mine before posting further.
So, I was not clearly thinking.
Inside CHT are these images.
60EB9E41_manila and 48AC377B_manila
The others were for WinMo's own lockscreen images, and there are more of them for the notifications, etc,.

ooops
So they are in the CHT cab after all ??
Seems my cab extraction has lost a few files somewhere along the line.........
Sorry about that.....
*Hangs head in shame* lol
Ok santod thanks sooo much! You were right those are the files. For everyone here who wants the cab here it is...

I was tired of making shortcuts by manual editing, so I made this editor.
The program requires .NET Compact Framework 1 and it was tested on a HTC Magician with WM 2003SE and HTC Polaris with WM6. It has been reported to work on HTC Wizard with WM 2005. Please, feel free to post your experience with different device and operative systems.
Looks great!
I think Odeean did something similar a while back, but beautiful either way.

I tried it on my wizard - wm5 and the app would start but soon as i made any selection an error would come up. see jpg
Nice idea - would like to see working - i am fed up too of manual creation of shortcuts as i forget the syntax :wink:

Lol thanks - its now working. Will post later tonight my findings after testing.
Hi oruam57 for simple shortcuts program works fine.
More complex shortcuts e.g.
''\Program files\omapclock\omapclock.exe'' -clock 240 -launch ''\storage card\program files\TCPMP\player.exe'' -restore
your program when editing same lnk just shows ''\Program files\omapclock\omapclock.exe'' -clock 240 -launch in target path / parameters
the last section is missed out - i guess a bug?
even when i add last section manually it will not save it.
look forward to comments\update

Thanks oruam57 now works with the mentioned shortcut. How long can the parameters be? I would make it quite long to suit all circumstances if possible. When will the icon section be finished? Cheers

Good. The parameters can be as long as you like (at least in theory), the problem you found was due to a parsing bug, not to a length limit.
Redowload the current version, the icon browser is there (not fast but working).

Works a treat thanks, icon came out fine - seems fast enough to me. Any further developments planned? How about an installer to finish it off?

The caching of browsed icons (no need to reload them every time if the file is the same), some more testing, then I will pack all in a cab. Thanks for your testing.
Just uploaded an update. Should be in 'release candidate' status.
Improvements: .bak file creation, cut/copy/past extended on all text boxes, browsed icon caching.

The backup is created only if you open an existing shortcut and it is saved in the same directory of the original with name <original name>.bak.lnk
Moreover, only the original is kept, that is if you open x.lnk, modify it and save, x.lnk contains the new shortcut and x.bak.lnk the original ones. From then on x.bak.lnk is not overwritten and when you are satisfied with x.lnk you should manually delete x.bak.lnk
Hope I was clear enough, English is not my mother tongue.

I'm on the minimalist side: no feature/code if not really required. I will put something in the readme of the install pack.
By the way, I made the editor because I, as an heavy shortcut user, really miss it and I expected that many people had the same problem. From the small number of download it seems not so.
Maybe MS was right (as usual) in not including one in Windows Mobile.
O man, thank you very much for this lovely product you’ve made.
I'm in love with it.

Here comes my own problem with changing icons on Cube...^^
Not only assigned icons with DustomMediaHub, I killed the default icons by replacing different graphics made by myself with the same names to see how far it could go....
The problem is no matter how hard I try, the default icons stick on the cube during its animation. Hopefully someone can crack the mystery one day^^
pic 1, pic 2 are cube with repleced icons, unpressed and pressed respectively; pic 3 is the animation of cube without the repleced icon...

That is totally normal. The animation of the spinningaround is prefabbed. Just a little movie that is already there and isn't based on the actual screens. That's much easier to achieve without to much memory-demand. Keep in mind that it was not ment to change icons.

Sorry, I didn't dive into it, so I don't know where the animation is located. But another detail to this matter, have you noticed that the contactpictures change to the Gray Head illustration just before spinning?
the animations are .brn files A0.brn A1.brn A2.brn A3.brn A4.brn A5.brn
and B0.brn 1-2-3-4-5 C0.brn 1-2-3-4-5
those are the once that do the animation I had a program one but can't find it now called brntobmp.exe that could convert these files into bmp images

hello, if you found the program , please post it here i'm interested too
Okay , I think we can improve the way we use the touch Flo dramatically !!
I changed the name of those brn files and i was able to change the rotation of cubes. For example i renamed A0.brn to A5.brn and A5.brn to A0.brn and the cube rotates from left to right when it was suppose to rotate from right to left ! Anyways , what i'm trying to do is to change the order of animations so when we activate the touch flo, instead of activation animation ( images coming from bottom ) we see the deactivation animation ( images coming from top to bottom) ... I hope you understand what I'm saying.
The problem is i can't find those animation file responsible for activation and deactivation of cubes .. Please somebody help
What I'm trying to do is to slide into the cubes and out of them , just inverse of Touch.. so when we slide our finger from top to bottom , the cubes will appear from top to bottom.

Smart Thinking!
Additional information:
Files A0-C5 are for the rotation (direction)
Files MH01-MH03HL are for Mediahubmini (pressed and unpressed)
Files MH_2_01-MH_2_03HL are for Applauncher (pressed and unpressed)
Files QD_Bkgd and QD_2_Bkgd are for Quickdial (the lower part)
Files MH_Bkgd.brn and MH_2_Bkgd.brn remians unknown (but the pair affects Mediahubmini by adding black lines between the taps)
I wonder whether the appearance and disappearance are brn files, for all files above seem to be all brns in windows folder. And if there are indeed some more brns responsible for the appearance/disappearance, the quantity of the missing files must be 6 or 12 according to the patterns of the animation (hard to believe so, though. ^_^)

Hi, brother, maybe you are right, but the observation tells me another story^^
The animations do change accordingly whatever page is been viewed--which means Applauncher.exe, MediaHubnini.exe and Quickdial.exe are plausibly all responsible for the animations^^
themes for cube
are there any themes for cube?
Splash animation???
Hi sorry i have not tested any touch/nontouch rom till date but my question is :
Does any of these floating roms have splash screen animation runnig???
sorry if its offtopic
Seek and found?
Any good news about the brntobmp.exe here?
I think it would be great to modify the cube animations.
Hey fellas.
I am sure it's been discussed before and my searches to find something fruitful have been met with limited success:
I am looking for a way (if possible) to skin my comm manager. I have the 6 Button lateral one from Custel's V1.1 and not the 8 or 10 button manager.
Any idea's?
You should find one in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316107
I'm using the HTC Kaiser Comm Manager Fixed.
I see the comm managers but I am trying to find a way to skin my current one. Is there a way to editthe skin on my device? Where are the skins for the comm manager kept at on the device?
All of the graphics for the Comm manager exist in windows\
If you find those files and edit/replace them, you can change the whole way comm manager works.
Problem is, every button is its own image and each has 3+ states (on, off, disabled, or other options). On the 10 button comm manager, that means there are 80+ files to edit.
Thanks Dishe.
Looks like I have a lot of cutting & pasting...
Update:
For anyone looking, on my Alltel PPC6800 I found the files to edit in the \windows dir. The backgrounds are the P_BG & L_BG (portrait & landscape). The status icons are labeled as Status_Off & Status_On.

What someone should do (I'd do it if I had the time!) is create a photoshop .psd file with all of these graphics assembled as slices. Then we can change the background color, etc. and export them as individual files without having to manually edit each one.
In the mean time, the long way is the only way...

i just got done getting all the files on to my card... and now on my computer.. should i make a PSD or just zip it and then people can do w/e they would like?
i have all the PNG files in the windows dir.
I am trying to do what you are but I posted a thread about the access rights of the files for being able to replace them... are you not running into the same problem?
It wouldnt let me modify them at first but once I copied them to my computer, clicked on properties and removed the read-only, all was well. After amendment, they copied over the original on my device with no problems...
Oh wow I will give that a shot... thank you!
I am not sure how that would work though, seeing that the files on the device would still be read-only and shouldn't be allowed to copy over. When I changed the settings in TC it didn't save them either...
Nvm I figured it out! Thx

Honestly, I'm planning on replacing them on the ROM-level, and flashing a new custom rom with my new files.

dc13, getting the files are not a big deal... I have a decomposed ROM image on my computer with all the files that go inside it, so I didn't even need to look on the PPC. I just viewed all files by thumbnail, and grabbed the 80+ files that looked like they belong to the comm manager. BTW, not every .png is for the CM. Some of them can be HTC Home, or the Dialer, etc...
I would have put them up if people were actually having a hard time getting them. The problem is changing them in a uniform fashion!
For example, if you're familiar with photoshop, and you want to change the gradient background to be, say, red and black instead of grey and black, you'll need to create a full sized gradient background that starts from the bottom of the screen and goes to the top (just like the current background image which starts at the bottom as a darker color and ends as a lighter gray on the top), and then make sure somehow that every icon has the appropriate part of the background appearing behind it in the png. This is very time-consuming to do to 80 files.
However, if you had the time and knowledge of Photoshop and ImageReady slices, you could create ONE .psd file that contained all the .pngs arranged in their proper places. Then, change the background of this larger picture, and do whatever you need to do with the icons (which would have to be arranged as layers), then you click to save it, you can have it automatically split it into all the slices needed as individual .png files.
Once this is set up, skinning the comm manager will take a matter of minutes. The problem is that this is probably 2-4 hours worth of work to set up, and I personally don't have the time to dedicate to it right now, especially since its not a paying gig.
I put together a quick guide to creating a Today, Slide2Unlock, Startup, Dialer and Commanager theme. It's in the Hacking & Modifying section of the forum...

It's not that difficult to create a commanager skin, but it does take time to make it look good.
I currently have skinned my commager. I am using the commanager that poorlyduck uses in his theme package but mine has a new vista look.

You wouldn't possibly want to share that skin would you, looks great and would go good with my wisbar theme.
http://lubbad.com/Vista%20Abstract%20Dialer.cab
Want to make some cabs for dialers? Here is the first one. I extracted the dialer from my touch pro and then cabbed it for ease of installation. You can theme a dialer for your phone. Or change the buttons, and basically whatever you want.
Cab seems to be the only way since I cannot shut down cprog.exe for installation or png and bmp files to the windows directory. The cab does it well and requires a restart to complete. Here are the pics of what you get in the cab.
If you request some other theme I will see what i can do. Or I have attatched my original dialer and you can mess with the templates.
Just hard to put them in windows without a cab.
NICE work!!
Very nice, you don't happen to have the original PSD or XCF files you could share as well? I'd like to try some different backgrounds.
Nice job! Thanks for kicking this off! I have only seen one other dialer so in the PPC Kitchen.
I have a request i would like for this to be the background of the dialer.

Not sure if this is what you wanted
No, I was referring to the PhotoShop or Gimp files you used which just show the dialer buttons, frames, text, etc.. which would allow me to plug in my own background.
Not quite sure what those files are in the ZIP, Sprite Backup is what came up when I searched.
zip
the zip file in post one has the original frames and backgrounds
Ohh, so what you did was take the image, overlay it on top of the original and make it opaque/transparent?

Correct. Then you have to cab it to windows file, But be sure to retain the original format of .bmp or .png
Thought so. Cool, good job and thanks.
Black Dialer
Found this on Diamond forum it looks great. From AVLev
i love this theme for the dialer so much that I had to make a landscape mode for it. You will be impressed....It will require a soft reset

Finally! a simple cab for this dialer instead of a whole freaking theme. Tyvm man your killer.
Does this cab contain the ability to switch between callers with call waiting?
try it

I am unsure of that. It does look great though! Buttons are bright and sexy black
Try it
Ok, you talked me into it. It does look nice.
BTW no better call waiting ability than the original.
Hello guys...
as some of you were asking me, how to permanently put QuickMenu in the place of honeycomb, with a RAM return, I'm putting for you a ready to use package for that.
So - first, we're just installing QuickMenu. Easy, normal process, I'm using the same package for two years already Be warned though it requires DelayedExec app, as QM was sometimes causing some problems during a cold boot. If you don't have it, or don't want it, just re-edit LNK file to remove its usage.
Then - it seems QM can't capture "start" word under wm6.5, so we're using a great app named "StartButton" and set it to capture this word and call QM.
Then - hey! Where're some of the icons from the settings menu?... Well - remember some of them were out of their folders? We need to get them back...
In the end... we want to get rid of the honeycomb itself, as it's still sitting in our RAM - almost 2MB of RAM on QVGA! It's a nightmare... how to do that? Easy... just edit proper CPR files and set them to... null text this way system won't be able to prepare a whole scene and won't load those files - returning you all this RAM. Be careful - it's prepared for QVGA, so for other resolutions, you have to re-edit this file and change the filenames in it!
The package contains all those things - preconfigured QuickMenu, fixed settings items in their proper folders (done with a provXML file), preconfigured StartButton and special initflashfiles.txt file, changing the CPR files to the empty ones.
Enjoy your brand new, fast and full of RAM WM6.5!
DOWNLOADS:
1. For the kitchen:
The package in the EXT format for ervius' kitchen can be downloaded from here.
2. For normal users:
2a. twopumpchump compiled a CAB installation, it's here. It fits all the resolutions!
2b. jfrm reedited this CAB, so it doesn't remove the honeycomb. So, if you want, just quit QM and there's your honeycomb back! It's here.
2c. Another version from jfrm - tapping on logo will pop QM, while tapping on the "Start" word will pop honeycomb. It's here.
Man!
last night i was trying to make this works over the START word in task bar... this is great...!!!
BTW do you know how to remove the titanium?
I dont want the whole files, but if i disable chome in sys or bronze or bronzeEA the start wont works and the devices freeze by itself... maybe we couldnt and just need to disable it in today settings and thats all! but it seems that the semitransparent bars gets lost... in that way we can have a full vanilla lots of storage and great RAM with the speed of WM6.5 and its awsome scrolling.
Nice work dude! will try it on my next release as a ultra vanilla!

I've just removed all the chome and bronze packages - and all is working ok
good work
hi friend, ltns just tried the new "old style" start menu and seems to be working great. i did get the popup for DelayedExec since i dont have it in my rom, but i can fix that np. im partial to 6.5 start menu myself, but do you mind if i make a cab, or you can if you want, so some of my users can have this on my 6.5 roms? alot of people still want the old 6.1 menus and this would be great for them

go for it Just post it here.
Just remember to change those cpr files to empty ones, so it can free up ram.
why?
This is to have more RAM but...
The quick menu works fine,
that popup error that twopumpchump say stops to show on in second softreset
but can you see the bronzeres error? both plugins... weather and some other in blank and i have only 12mb of ram... could it be due to lzx compression ?
What else to delete?

Install this one as normal and then manually edit StartMenu_Global_*.cpr and StartMenu_GridScene_*.cpr files
Maybe someone will reedit this cab and include a full set of cpr files. Or maybe TPC has already done this.. just check it

Yes, it's the only resolution-dependent stuff in this proccess
Is it possible to keep both menus working?
I have been thinking to much before going to 6.5 due the lost of QMenu and WkTask. So for me your trick is a very, very good news. Thank you very much.
Anyway, Is it possible to keep both menus working?
In my old Hermes 6.1 I have Original Star Menu set to Ms logo Long Press and QMenu to normal press, and now with the huge memory of my new Touch Pro, will be nice to keep both. One for finger use and the other one for stylus time.
Thanks for the effort.

Yes - just don't overwrite those cpr files...
Wonderfull,
I have downloaded your file, but this look like a cocking packet...
How should I install it in a working rom?
Now it works perfect, only thing is I dont see the time and clock in settings anywhere.

It's because I put it into personal section, and not to system, as it was originally I prefer it that way.
Sorry to bother you again, but I'm afraid that the cab is going to overwrite the cpr files and make me loose the HoneyComb.
It that right?
Remember my fist question here, I want to keep both menus working.
remember to search
Think about this
the cab file can be open with winrar or cabmanager or some more apps so... open the cab file and delete the cpr files... save it and you are good to go...
Be cool man our developers woks hard to get more power here.
Sorry, I don't want to disturb.
My english is far from good and maybe there is some missunderstood.
Will try this way. Thanks.
