This ones had me pulling my hair out...
Does anybody know of a way to create a shortcut to the Settings (Control Panel)
Ive discovered how to make shortcuts to individual elements of the Settings ie power screen or connections screen but a shortcut to the Main Settings screen is still beyond my reach.
Can you provide the shortcut to connections screen ? I couldn't find it.
Although there is a link in the Windows\Start Menu\ folder this is just an icon image. I could be wrong but this folder location is part off the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE & HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry. As far as I am guessing is that this folder is vied by the OS as a system element of the OS and not a folder tree in the OS. Meaning there is no way less VB to make a shortcut to this "folder". The item in this sectional devide are all programs and have .exe's so if you can find the .exe you can make a shortcut. In some cases where there is no .lnk file with an ican associated with it you will just get a defaul image in your shortcut location you have created.

tnx
remnet.exe takes you right to that particular settings exe. But there's also the shortcut notation often used:
\windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain,7
where the number (7 in this example) is a specific control panel. Does anyone have the complete list of numbers for various control panels? Some utilities like Battery Pack use this notation in the links on their today launcher plug-in, but I can't install it because of a compatibility issue, so I can't find a list of the control panel numbers.
I forgot where but somewhere I downloaded a small zip archive that contains links to many control panel settings.
samohile is there any chance of you posting the zip archive anywhere?

Does anyone know how to get an icon for the remnet.exe shortcut? I am looking for the "Connections" icon under Settings--Connections-->Connections Icon.
Anyone? I know how to adjust the shortcut. I just do not know what file holds that icon and the index.
Thanks

Shortcut to programs
Does anyone know the .lnk or .exe for the programs folder page? I dont need the one for the folder itself but the one to the regular page showing in icons view rather than in list view. Hopefully someone out there understands what Im trying to ask for...

There is an app posted here somewhere called folderview.exe.
Place that on your device in the windows folder (I think) and you can lnk to it. I could not get it to work until I edited the lnk with a text editor, placing " #" at the end of the text (space + "#")
I would still love to get a lnk to the main settings page if anyone has ever figured that one out.

Here is the list I just compiled using the run command over and over. The amusing thing is I did NOT find what I was looking for, it turned out to be an .exe in windows: USBtoPC.exe. Duh.
I did this on a stock Sprint HTC Touch Pro, with Windows Mobile 6.1, but I would guess these don't change much.
1 = lock
2 = owner info
3 = power
4 = memory
5 = about
6 = backlight
7 = screen
8 = input
9 = sounds and notifications
10 = remove programs
11 = menus
12 = buttons
13 = today
14 = domain enroll
15 = beam
16 = clocks and alarms
17 = wi-fi
18 = regional settings
19 = connections
20 = phone
21 = ? (nothing happened)
22 = certificates
23 = bluetooth
24 = error reporting
25 = GPS
26 = connection manager
27 = encryption
28 = ? (nothing happened)
29 = customer feedback
Did anyone ever figure this out?
Just a .lnk file that brings you to the settings window? You'd think this isn't so hard but dang.
this works!
Found this in hints & tweaks on HD2, works on mine..
101. Enable All Settings Shortcut in Start Menu
Most roms have the Settings shortcut in Start Menu link to the Manila Settings tab. To gain access to the Windows Mobile settings you have to go to the Manila Settings tab, hit Menu and then hit All Settings. The following tweak adds a new shortcut to the All Settings page. Soft reset required.
HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\HideSettings and change 1 to 0.
good luck!
I checked it for Ameo and it worked out

haha, i don't have them on initially, it's on when for example PHM is on, or Active Sync is on, basically, anything that put a icon on tray will activate my tray, and my problem is i don't want that tray, and i remove it. I guess in your case you want to activate the tray, just simply put an icon there, for example activate tray icon for Pocket Infrormant, then your tray will appear.
Thank's wu..
I installed this twice and now I have multiple icons for it. How do I remove an icon or icons in this case,from the programs folder? Somehow I also have multiple GPS Now and camera icons too.
Any help would be appreciated.

there are several programs that scans for double links or icons but they are not free you can remove the double icons yourself it is easy to do:
1. open Filesexplorer
2. Map to Windows\Startmenu\programs
3. remove the mutiple icons from there

**********MODERATION
Don't click on any of the junk above. It's all SPAM and trash. Must not have had a date tonight so he resulted in spamming the forum. LOL
I use the utility from vijay that does the same job. It is good because you can adjust the size of the top bar as well. Google for the following name : vjtoggletodayiialpha
To customise the HTC ActionScreen you can change the total number of icons, the size and shape of icons, their position, the image, and what is launched by pressing the icon.
All reg settings are contained within [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen]
Each Application reg file is numbered sequentially starting with App_0 going up to the total number of icons -1 (for 8 icons, App_0 to App_7).
Each icon can be shifted to where it is wanted by changing the xPos and yPos dwords, the top left of the screen is xPos 0 yPos 0, with yPos being the vertical distance, and xPos being the horizontal distance from the top right of the screen in pixels. This must be a positive value. The image files can be located anywhere, including the storage card.
Any image can be used, so long as it is converted into a *.brn, and matches the dimensions of the reg file.
The "name" registry entry is the text that appears to the right of the image, as of yet I know no way of changing its position other than moving the entire icon.
This works on other devices with the HTC ActionScreen.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen]
"Default"=""
"Check"=dword:00000001
"Row"=dword:00000007 [RIGHT]Number of rows[/RIGHT]
"Column"=dword:00000001 [RIGHT]Number of columns[/RIGHT]
"BaseImage"="" [RIGHT]Background image[/RIGHT]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_0]
"Default"=""
"Name"="" [RIGHT]Text displayed next to the icon[/RIGHT]
"Path"="" [RIGHT]What's launched by pressing[/RIGHT]
"IconPressPath"="" [RIGHT]Image shown when pressed[/RIGHT]
"yPos"=dword:00000028 [RIGHT]Position relative to the top (in pixels)[/RIGHT]
"Width"=dword:000000f0 [RIGHT]Width of icon[/RIGHT]
"IconPath"="" [RIGHT]Basic icon[/RIGHT]
"Param"="" [RIGHT] Parameters of what is launched[/RIGHT]
"Type"=dword:00000000 [RIGHT]Type (no idea...)[/RIGHT]
"xPos"=dword:00000000 [RIGHT]Position relative to left of screen (pixels)[/RIGHT]
"IconSelectPath"="" [RIGHT]Image displayed when selected[/RIGHT]
"Height"=dword:00000028
Attached are image files demonstrating it.
thank for the nice guide..

ActionScreen from program files...
Put all the default .brns in \Program files\ActionScreen, import this, soft reset and then it should run from program files rather than windows (or whereever it is running from) to help reduce the size of the windows dir...
And... ActionScreen from storage card...
Put all the default .brns in \Storage Card\ActionScreen, import this, soft reset and then it should run from program files rather than windows (or whereever it is running from) to help reduce the size of the windows dir...

Still the same as you used to with WM5, no change in that. You can disable HTCHome in Today Settings pane. Don't forget to restart (soft reset).

I'm using one of Dutty's roms and I'm wondering what registry change would need to be made to make the ActionScreen button go away, and be replaced by Calendar.
I like the old way of doing things.

You may have a shortcut to "SoftKeys" under the System tab of the Settings. If not, look at this: http://www.dotfred.net/SoftkeyAppletEx.htm
It's simpler than using the registry and tends to work better...

Weather icon showing Temperature and Weathercondition at selectable iFonz-Icon plus 5 Day forecast, new weathericons
(Only iFonz 1.1.2 not iFonz 2 by now)
Hi,
the Mortscript, I've done (based on Infos of this thread), is a plugin that replaces an IFonz icon by a weathericon(showing actual weather) and shows temerature as Icon name. In the new version, pressing the weathericon will now show a five day forecast(see screenshots at the end of post). I hope, you'll like it.
The ifonzWeather.ZIP now contains two Mortscripts iFonzWeather.mscr (sceduled download of weatherdata and refresh iFonzscreen) and the new iFonzForecast.mscr(when started expand from 1 to 5 weathericons for 5 day forecast and restore original icons when started again.)
What is new/has changed:
Removed Bug wrong Icon is shown, when online source for weatherdata is available, but Page says no actual data available(weathercode 3200, not 0, not na)
The script can now autoconnect to gsm if no dataconnection is available and if wanted!
Added iFonzForecast.mscr to be started by weathericon. This will give you 5day Forecast, shown as iFonzIcons.
What do you need/have to do:
iFonz 1.1.2(Works with older versions too, but I got reports, that with V0.99 is waits with iconupdate till newstart of iFonz.)
Download and install the Mortscript-4.1PPC.cab
Download my Mortscripts iFonzWeather.zip (see end of post)
S2U2 has Weathericons included, but you can also download the ones i've created of them(complete set but not perfect). Better use blueaxe's icons(see end of post)
Modify scripts with texteditor to fit your needs(at least change your location/descriped further down).
Start it manually by doubleclicking on script to start or put a lnk to windows\autostart(startup)\
What does the script(iFonzWeather.mscr) do:
It downloads the actual weathercondition and the forecast for five days, of a place you select, from Yahoo.weather.com and saves them. It uses the internetconnection available(I've testet via wlan and activesync)
It canges the iFonz icon (you can select in the script) to show the picture of the actual weatherconditions.
it changes iconname shown, to a combination of actual temp and forecast(highes and lowest temp).
It lets you open the 5day forecast if selected or altenatively sets the icon, to start the Browser, you've chosen in the mortscript, and opens the yahoo page showing further weatherinformation to your selectet place. You can also disable this if you like to start an other app.
It will retry to get weater every hour(but you can change the timeintervall to any time in mortscript).
If connection is not available, it will try to use saved weatherdata for showing actual day and the forecast.
Needed changes in script(iFonzWeather.mscr) Simply change with texteditor
The mortscript should work without any changes on english devices. It is by default set, to use the weatherpictures of s2U2, if S2U2 is installed in "\program files\s2u2\gfx\weather\". Pressing the Icon will start iFonzForecast.mscr(change icons to show 5 day forecast). It will change the 4th Icon on the first page to be the main weathericonon the first page(can be changed)
Here you see the settings you can change in an texteditor
# USER SETTINGS, CHANGE AS DESIRED
#
# your location (see http://weather.yahoo.com/ on finding your location)
location="GMXX0115"
# desired units for temp, f or c
units="c"
# Set GSMConnection to your internetconnection("The Internet","Internet","My ISP"..see settings/connections ...)
# If you only want to use available connections set GSMConnection=""
GSMConnection="The Internet"
#
# how often to try and get the weather
delayHours = 1
delayMinutes = 0
#
# iFonz variables to change
# -------------------------
# iFonzPixPath(path to icons): to use s2u2 icons set "\program files\s2u2\gfx\weather\"
iFonzPixPath = "\program files\s2u2\gfx\weather\"
# iFonzWNA(WeatherPic if not available: to use s2u2icons set "0" else "na"
iFonzWNA = "0"
# Want iFonz to open Yahooweather for your destination, when icon pressed ? set iFonzOpenYahoo=2
# Want iFonz to show Weatherforecast with Icons ? set iFonzOpenYahoo=2
iFonzOpenYahoo=2
iFonzBrowser = "\windows\iexplore.exe"
# Choose Icon to change
# iFonzBottomIcon(True = BottonIcon/False = NormalIcon)
# ifonzIconNumber(0..X)
# ifonzPageNumber(1..X)not needed if bottomicon
iFonzBottomIcon = false
ifonzIconNumber = 3
ifonzPageNumber = 1

Click to collapse
Set location to your locationcode.For finding your locationcode, enter http://weather.yahoo.com/ and click trough the countries and the cities untill you find your place.
Then you'll see your needed location in the adressfield of your browser.
"http://weather.yahoo.com/Rosenheim-Germany/GMXX0115/forecast.html"
You want fahrenheit, not centigrade? Change units from c to f
You dont want the script to autoconnect to gsm? SetGSMConnection=""
You want to reload data in shorter or longer Timeintervalls? Change delayHours = 1 and delayMinutes = 0 to your needs
You want other Pix? Change iFonzPixPath to the folder containing the pictures. The mortscript uses 0.png up to 47.png and nb.png for weather not available. So check if NA-Picture is called 0.png or NA.png and eventually change iFonzWNA from "0" from to "na"
Choose pressing Weathericon, (2)to open 5day-forecast inside iFonz(offline), (1) to open online Webpage with further data or (0) select any app to open, manually in iFonz iconsettings, by setting iFonzOpenYahoo =2, 1 or 0
You want iFonz to start an other browser(please Internetexplorer is a shame), for showing further weather information ? Set iFonzBrowser to an other browser.
You want an other Icon to be changed? Set iFonzBottomIcon = True (0..X), if you want to change an icon in bottombar, set if false if you want to change a normal icon. ifonzIconNumber is the positionnumber of the icon counted from left to right,up to down.First Icon has Nr 0. For the bottomicons start counting with the first buttombaricon. Set ifonzPageNumber(1..X) to the page the icon should be(not nescessairy for BottomIcons
What does the script(iFonzForecastdo.mscr) do:
It changes 4 selectable Icons to show Forecast for day 2, 3, 4 and 5(Day 1 is shown by ifonzWeather.mscr). It saves the original Icons with all data, and restores them when script is started again. By setting iFonzOpenYahoo=2 in iFonzweather.mscr it will be started by pressing the Mainicon or any of the other forecasticons
What you can change (works without changes)in script(iFonzForecast.mscr) :
# iFonz variables to change
# -------------------------
# iFonzPixPath(path to icons): to use s2u2 icons set "\program files\s2u2\gfx\weather\"
iFonzPixPath = "\program files\s2u2\gfx\weather\"
# iFonzWNA(WeatherPic if not available: to use s2u2icons set "0" else "na"
iFonzWNA = "0"
# Choose first Icon to use out of four to show forecast
# iFonzBottomIcon(True = BottonIcon/False = NormalIcon)
# ifonzIconNumber(0..X)
# ifonzPageNumber(1..X)not needed if bottomicon
iFonzBottomIcon = false
ifonzIconNumber = 4
ifonzPageNumber = 1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
iFonzPixPath and iFonzWNA should get the same values as in iFonzWeather.mscr.
Selecting the first of the 4 replaced icons, works like in FonzWeather.mscr. The values should not be the same like in iFonzWeather.mscr because you would otherwise only see Day 2-5, because you replaced the Mainweathericon, showing actual day.

Any feedback by now ??? Wishes ??? Problems ??? Questions ??? Chage requests ???
Thanks Sid-Shrunk, it was the missed part on iFonz
Excellent work, i played arround a little bit with some weather Icons, if anyone likes that how about this with Day and Night Background (just a really first test in 96x96, on the fake screenshot in 52x52):

the preview icons look realy good. Especially playing with night and day should be interesting.
By the way, if you plan to do more pix, do you already have a table with the conditions belonging to the weathercodes?
yes, i think the codes/numbers are correct you see 36,39 and 33 from left to right, but please check it.
EDIT: Okay i checked it with your Icons, seems its okay. The other question is the size, i prefer 52 but i think the most like to use 48 Pixel for qvga. For the weather graphics itself i use Rumball`s Set (or the Set Rumball uses for manila weather panel, who knows ?), but i think i PM him first before doing this.
I did not mean thy are wrong, I just thought you could be interested in the link to YahooWeather that shows the exact description of condition to a code.
There you can see the exact diffrences between a bit/normal/heavy rain ....
For the pictures I've done I've just changed the icons coming with S2U2, and compared the missing icons with other available sets.
I forgot: For the size I think it would be best if it fits to the rest of your iconset, but that's you descision. I use 48, but I use a frame for every icon I use, so I had to modify anyway.
it`s okay the yahoo description and the graphics are right: 41 (heavy snow) and 37: So i think i will post a set for your application on the next few days on my icons thread.. (Just thinking about a cleaner background like on the second icon). Thanks for this app man !
Sounds great man, I like the smooth look of you new iconset.
The backgroundproblem in iFonz with transparency, is the Reason, why I modified all my icons with a metalic border So I can use any background now.

These are really nice icons and they go nicely with your realize icons which i use, i like that and i am interested
thank you claus
@sid: yes bmps and transparency, always a Problem on ppcs, i for myself went back to a black background, now my Icons look smooth. okay i post here again when the set is ready with a link (weekend)
Bluemetalmax,
Weather icons look up to your usual high standard. Would love a set in VGA. Is this possible?
blue those weather icons would be sweet.
icons, also in vga will come.
@Sid: i can't get this to run. installed mortscript, modified your file but i get allways no data (also not with Rosenheim) It just shows the correct s2u2 icon(NA) ?
i set the update now to 2 minutes but it seems it doesen't connect to internet at all.
Hey i would use this as it looks great, but sadly, ifonz is too slow for me on my diamond, too jumpy, and the settings screen is jerky and slow. Its just not a pleasant experiance using ifonz.
Of course, i cannot "do better" so, just my own opinion.
okay ifonz setting screen is slow as hell, but who cares, its just for the Settings.
But i don`t think that ifonz is slow, ecspecially the new Version is really fast, and i´m using just a Polaris.
You should wait about one Minute when starting ifionz the first time then it runnes really smooth.
Anyway, my weathericons for SIDs App are ready (96 Pixel VGA PNGs). Now i must do ifonz icons out of this.
i made four different backgounds (Day, Day-snow,Night, Night-Snow)

Sorry I answer so late,
I will look for your problem when im Home this afternon. Also I will post a small description of the errormanagement of the script.
launching app
Hi! this is a great application, it is all I missed on iFonz. It would be great if one could launch the weather panel by bluemetalaxe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436656&page=6). I am a newbie and I dunno how to do it. Any suggestions?
Mart,
PS: BTW the weather icons do not update if you have a non-English device and you put them in a non-root directory. I tried with S2U2 icons and WEATHERpix putting them on \Archivos de programa\ and didn't work, putting them on \WEATHERpix fixed things.
Errorhandling of iFonzWeather
This is a short info about errormanagement of IFonzweather.
When started it checks, if internetconnection is available(Tries if google.com can be reached). If not available it waits 10 seconds and tries again(if connection is available, but breaking while trying to download, it will resart after the setup time).
1. Possibility(Everythig works):
-> Correct actual weathericon will be shown, Temperatures will be shown like "9°(12°/7°)" and forecast will be saved in registry for 5 Days (HKCU\Software\Sid-Shrunk\Weather\...).
2. Possibility(Data is downloaded but theres an error in the Data)...
2a. ...and there is a forecast saved in registry for actual Day:
-> Icon will be changed to Icon of saved forcast for actual day. Temp will be shown like "Err(12°/7°)" (Error but forecast available).
2b. ...and there is no forecast saved in registry for actual Day:
-> Icon NA will be shown. Temp will be shown like "DataErr"(Error and forecast not available).
3 Possibility(Connection could not be established) ...
2a. ...and here is a forecast saved in registry for actual Day:
-> Icon will be changed to Icon of saved forcast for actual day. Temp will be shown like "N/A(12°/7°)" (no Connection but forecast available).
2b. ...and here is no forecast saved in registry for actual Day:
-> Icon NA will be shown. Temp will be shown like "NoData"(Error and forecast not available).
As I've no dataflatrate, I've deactivated dataconnection via Provider and only use wlan or connection via activesync.
This tool uses available connections, so I think it may not connect to your provider on it's own. But it should use the connection if you've activated it(I've not checked this). May be some of you could post your experiences with this.
@bluemetalaxe: Does it work by now ? If not, what connections have you tried, what language does your device use? If not perhaps you could send me a copy of your modified mort.
PS: The pic look fantastic

PS: BTW the weather icons do not update if you have a non-English device and you put them in a non-root directory. I tried with S2U2 icons and WEATHERpix putting them on \Archivos de programa\ and didn't work, putting them on \WEATHERpix fixed things.

Hi MartCronos,
I use an non english device too, and it works for me. Have you changed iFonzPixPath = "\program files\s2u2\gfx\weather\" to the correct and full path ?
for me it was iFonzPixPath = "\programme\s2u2\gfx\weather\"
for you it should be iFonzPixPath = "\Archivos de programa\s2u2\gfx\weather\" (if this is how programs folder is called on your device)
Hi!
Any developer out there who would make a little change at an existing apk(xml)?
Best regards!
still searching...
what type of change?
if you mean adding a new element to the xml i think that you cannot because then you need to rebuild (compile and especially pre-compile) the apk.
but if you are talking about changing some values of an already existing object that may work.
What apk ? And what do you want changed ? Need to post a little more detail if you expect an answer. It would also help if you upload the apk.

What type of apk ? Is it for GB or ICS ? what is your target platform ? If it is for GB I can do it . But not in deep . If you tell me what exactly you want to do , I can help you. PM Me.
Thanks for your answers!!!
I'll try to explain it:
It's an hotspot widget, which allows to turn on Wifi Hotspot by just clicking the toggle.
When clicking the toggle, Hotspot is "starting", that means it's not ready but on the way. When Hotspot has fully starting has finished and is available to be used there is another toggle icon.
So, what is missing right now, is, that after pressing the toggle the indicator graphic shows "starting".
Hmm, my english isn't very good, but i'll give the best to make it understandable. Therefore a made two screenshots and add the graphic which should appear when having pressed the toggle and before the toggle has changed to the one displayed at the second screenshot:
So, what has to be changed, is - to my opinion - the parameters for appwidget_settings_ind_mid_c.9.png - so that the attached graphic is displayed.
I have to mention that i already modified the apk by changing stat_sys_tether_wifi_off and stat_sys_tether_wifi_on.

To decompile I need your framework apk.
I only have the apk i attached. The Widget was downloaded from the market (free).
Ok, i made new screenshots to explain:
1.) Hotspot "Off":
2.) Hotspot "starting":
3.) Hotspot "On":
When "Tethering oder Hotspot aktiv" is displayed (=starting modus, second screenshot) in the status line after pressing the toggle, there should appear this
instead of this

Check the attached file whether it working or not. You have some problem with images . Then do not appear properly.
Thanks, but nothing changed. It's still like in the 3 screenshots above.
EDIT:
Oh, i forgot to mention, that changes must affect drawable-mdpi as the device (Sonyericsson Xperia Active has only 320x480 pixel screen resolution!!
@musarraf172
Could this be the reason, that nothing changed? Am i right, that you changed the xml values fpr drawable-hdpi and not drawable-mdpi? It's my fault, i should have mentioned that it's for a low resolution screen, sorry!!

I changed for both as I was confused . I have tested in on my phone (HTC) . It was working but the images was overlapping.
EDIT:
I think I am misunderstood. What exactly you want to change ? only some icons ? If so please tell me in more simple words.
Ok, i'll try to explain but my english is not that good (sorry):
When i press the toggle
there should appear a dark green indicator line - like here:
And in the end when the Hotspot is fully activated this should appear:
That means, there should be 3 steps:
Off
-> Start
-> On
Why aren't the pics in my post displayed?
Ok, I'll try to explain again:
The indicator is too low (about 13 pixels too low) and too wide (about 12 pixels on each side, 24 pixels total) as you can see at the new screenshot.
So the xml-parameters should be changed for
1.)appwidget_settings_ind_off_c.9.png (drawable-mdpi as it's a low resolution device with 320x480 display)
2.)appwidget_settings_ind_mid_c.9.png (drawable-mdpi)
3.)appwidget_settings_ind_on_c.9.png (drawable-mdpi)
They have to be changed all the same way.
Please(!!!) can anybody help me?
So you want three total icons.
One for off:
One for starting:
One for on:
This should not be too hard to accomplish.
Yes, that would be what i'm looking for.
But maybe it would be enough, if the position of the indicator would be changed.
Can't do it here at work, and it seems someone is on the right track. I can look at it this afternoon maybe.
Are the images separate. Meaning an icon and an indicator bar. That seems like overkill unless the indicator bar is moving (showing progress). I would think that three static images would be just fine.
If it is just the xml that needs to be edited, can you paste it here?
I made screenshot of what the original apk (not modified in any way!) looks like. Unfortunately I'm not sure which xml contains the information for the position of the graphics. But you can see what graphics are available originally and maybe this gives a hint on how the xml is designed? I tried to attach the xml files to thhis posting but the file format isn't allowed. So i attach the original, unmodified apk.
3 static images would be good, also, if possible, but i think that would be more complicated, what do you mean?
Originally there are 2 icons (off and on) and 3 indicator graphics (off - mid(=start) - on). But i think it would be also good to use 3 static images instead of the combination of the 2 static images and the 3 additional indicator graphics.
I also made 3 screenshots what the original unmodified apk looks like when Hotspot is off, has started and is on.
EDIT:
I'm wrong! I just saw, that the original akp works by having a background for all 3 situations (off - mid(=start) -on) and just varies the WLAN symbol in the middle of it. And additional the indicator graphics.
So there seem to be following graphic combinations originally:
1.) Toggle Off: appwidget_bg.9.png + stat_sys_tether_wifi_off.png + appwidget_settings_ind_off_c.9.png
2.) Toggle pressed (Hotspot Starting): appwidget_bg.9.png + stat_sys_tether_wifi_off.png + appwidget_settings_ind_mid_c.9.png
3.) Hotspot On: appwidget_bg.9.png + stat_sys_tether_wifi_on.png + appwidget_settings_ind_mid_c.9.png
