Re: Quick Explination request

hiya bro ..:)

the cab that i post bro .. was just to give you an example that it is possible to manipulate the files in ROM .. and it is possible to modify,add,delete or rename (okih not exactly as delete and renaming since the os will generate the file if you remove or rename the files)

but it is editable and can be copied .. just need some tools like the oem cab .. if the oem cab can make the file in rom .. editable it is possible to create a program that will edit or copy the files that reside in rom .. :)

i already bro .. edited and provided what you needed so you dont need to modify bro the _movefilelist.txt .. :wink:

what you only need bro to do is to rename the tapres.dll and the tapres.96.dll that you created to _tapres.dll and _tapres.96.dll ..

then import it to the cab .. and remember this bro .. the _tapres.96.dll and _tapres.dll should be hardcoded to the TEMP folder .. y? i will explain it here bro .. . :)

anyway here what really goes as stated in _moveFileList.txt

usually the first statement under " " is the Source of the File and after a very long space the other " " means the destination of the file

"\Temp\_tapres.96.dll" -> Means the location of the file to be move.. so it is very important that the _tapres.96.dll is hardcoded to TEMP folder because it was stated that it came from the TEMP folder

"\Windows\tapres.96.dll", -> the destination of the file to be move.. so the _tapres.96.dll from the TEMP folder will be move to windows directory and will be rename to tapres.96.dll ..

"\Temp\_tapres.dll" -> Means the location of the file to be move.. so it is very important that the _tapres.dll is hardcoded to TEMP folder

"\Windows\tapres.dll" -> the destination of the file to be move.. so the _tapres.dll will be move to windows directory and will rename to tapres.dll

so what really happen in the cab is this bro..

all the file should be extracted to their designated path ..

but the _tapres.dll and the _tapres.96.dll will be extracted in TEMP folder

after extracting the cab will check the _MoveFileList.txt and check all the files listed .. since it is stated like this

"\Temp\_tapres.96.dll" "\Windows\tapres.96.dll",

"\Temp\_tapres.dll" "\Windows\tapres.dll"

the cab will search for the file _tapres.96.dll and _tapres.dll in the TEMP folder and if they found it will move the file to windows directory and rename the file to tapres.96.dll and tapres.dll

now why it move since tapres.dll and tapres.96.dll is both in rom and cannot be moved, copied or modified .. the cab provided all the things need to be able the files to move and replace with the new one .. :)

nope i dont find any thing bro .. and i dont thing you will be needing one ..

OK heres another way bro .. this is much simpler and less complicated and yes very editable ..

1. just rename the tapres.dll bro to

tapres.dll.0409.mui

and the tapres.96.dll to

tapres.96.dll.0409.mui

2. copy tapres.96.dll.0409.mui and tapres.dll.0409.mui to Windows Directory then perform a soft reset ..

then voila you have now the new skin .. :wink:

btw bro i attach a new set of dll .. which i think you will be love to see ..

just the same method bro .. after editing rename the files and add .0409.mui to the filename like shellres.dll.0409.mui etc ..

have fun .. :wink:

ps i attach bro one of the example that i created .. shellres.96.dll.0409.mui

i edited the bluetooth ico .. to look like the buzz bluetooth icon .. like in the picture ..bro

btw bro .. can you post the tapres.dll and tapres.96.dll that you edited bro ..
