Yes I know.

Unluckly the original cursor size is small and trying to resize it would make it bad.

However I'll try to resize it or find a bigger one even if I like it in this small size: it makes my device screen looks bigger.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dferreira:
Looks so sweet :D

By being so small, the area occupied by the animation is smaller too, looking really nice!

I'm wondering... if we can't make the icon transparent, maybe we should look for rectangular or square animations... something like:

http://www.napyfab.com/ajax-indicators/images/indicator_kit.gif
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Thanks dferreira, You gave me another cute animation to make. I'll make that animation, too.

BTW: yes, it is possible to use a rectangular animations. If you find any cool gif or other animation file, feel free to post it here.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] royalobtuse:
I would very much like to use this animation! Hopefully you guys can release it! Keep up the great work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
If poorlyduck doesn't mind, I can work on it since he seems to be busy.

I'm also busy but I think I can find some time to work on it.

Will this work on a modded WM6 ROM (such as the new WM6 for the Apache)?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
I'm sorry but they only work on WM5. The file that hendles the waitcursor in WM6 is different.

If I have time I'll try to make the cursors for WM6 but since mine is WM5 someone should test them for me.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dferreira:
Marshall07,

I took the liberty of using one of your animations on my custom built ROM: the Ubuntu animation - gotta love it :D

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=330080

Hope you don't mind :) I've included you on the thanks part, of course.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Of course I don't mind. Instead I'm very happy for that. :)

BTW, it seems a good rom.

I released the Touch WaitCursor skin. Please, check the first post.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] henftling:
Could please someone help me on geting this cursor for WM6?

it does not work on my touch and obviously I´m too UNSMART to get animation renamed and resigned properly.. :-((
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cerede2000:
How to apply the same cursor on the WM6?

Thx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
You should take the pictures from the file gwes.exe.xxxx.mui (xxxx is the localization code: 0409 for english) installed by my package, put them into shellres.96.dll (which is the WM6 file which handles the WaitCursor animation) using a resource editor and the rename it as shellres.96.dll.xxxx.mui. After that, the file has to be signed :)

It is quite a long procedure. If you can wait a bit I'm about to make the major WM5 WaitCursor skins I made, compatible with WM6.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] henftling:
wow, thank you very much, for sure I can wait.

As I have tried this procedure but failed at the beginning to copy the requested file from handeld to my PC, i really appreciate if you could help me out.

Isnt There Touch Dialpad Skin For Vga Wm5?

Im Waiting For It.

Reagrds

Shah-
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Eheh! You posted in the WaitCursor thread. I know that the title is a bit confusing (it's because my latest skins are "Touch" for both applications) :).

Anyway, I don't know if there is one. I'm thinking to a way to edit the one I have to make it VGA compatible but I don't know if it is possible and how much time will it take!

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SHAHS:
@Marshall07

Thnx,

I Installed Vista Waitcursor But Its Not Working In My Device (wm5, Vga, Imate Jasjar).

Any Other Way To Use?

Regards

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
- Which language did you install? And which language your OS is?

- Does the installation end with no errors?

- I guess that you still see the WM5 default WaitCursor, isn't it?

- Do the other WaitCursors work for you?

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ronnymes:
Hi Marshall,

I have the same problem, no errors but when i restart it's still the same WaitCursor.

I have a MDA Vario II

Rom TNT 3.0 beta ( WE )

And try several WaitCursors in the same language as the ROM, but it dousn't matter.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
You mean the ugly WM5 WaitCursor?

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SHAHS:
@MARSHALL

The Bluespin Waitcursor Is Working Fine But Its Size Is Too Small On Vga Display, I Would Like To Use Vista Waitcursor But In Bigger Size.

Regards

Shah-
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
It is strange that the BlueSpin works, while the Vista doesn't. Could you please try reinstalling it again and then soft-reset?

About the size, the pictures I use for the animation (took from the original Vista busy animation) are 32x32, so it is impossible for me to resize them. The same is for the other animations. If I resize them to make them bigger, they will appear bad.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dferreira:
Its easier to reduce the size than increase it ;)

i´ve installed the cab and renamed the the shellres to the german "0407" and it works on my german mda touch
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Good news. Thank you!

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chelsea:
Can anyone post a picture of it how it looks?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ronnymes:
No the original WM6 WaitCursor, i want the Touch cursor
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frufo2000:
you find it in this post,

look here
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frufo2000:
you find a version for englisch rom here

wait until Marshall release other language versions.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ronnymes:
Great job, this is the one i want!!!

Its working great ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Which OS do you have? If you have WM6, than the waitcursors will not work for you since they are made for WM5. I'm making them for WM6 too (some posts before you'll find the touch one) so you have to wait a little.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] henftling:
WOW this was fast. Works fine on my touch (german) renamed the file as frufo.

Thank you very much Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
In order to make all languages for the WM6 WaitCursor I need to know more about the resources of other non-english shellres.96.dll files.

Could someone send me one of that files? You will have to take them from a dumped ROM since the file can't be copyed from the device.

If there is shellres.96.dll.xxxx.mui, please send me that one. If not, send me the shellres.96.dll.

Thank you very much.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ronnymes:
Its working on a WM6 device ;)

Using the new TNT 3.0 beta ROM
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jorgejs76:
The icon works perfect in my wizard with TNT4 ROM (WM6 & WWE i guess)... :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] royalobtuse:
I downloaded it and it loaded fine on WM6 on a PPC-6700. I was having some lockups after install but I was able to uninstall and return to the factory settings no problem using the remove feature. I will try it again and let you know how it goes.

Thanks again for all your hard work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wyldstallyns2589:
marshall, can you post that wallpaper you have on your device?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ronnymes:
Had a view lockups, its not stable :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Attached at the end of this post (Note: it is a jpeg but the extension is .gif. Put it under /Windows and it will work work for both Portrait and Landscape mode). It comes from the Vista Communicator WAII theme.

Can you explain better which lockups you get? It is strange since I only edited some bitmaps in that file.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wyldstallyns2589:
thanks for the wallpaper
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ronnymes:
I cant tell you exacly which lockups, sorry.

I had also a fresh ROM..

Great work marshall :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Odyssey1111:
Thank you Marshall. I installed this cursor on my mogul WM6 with the touch themes and it worked with no problems.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Superdate:
Thanks for your effort

but still cant get the new version running on my WM6 Dopod p800w

i downloaded the Touch and WM6 cursor from your website, neither of them worked....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] binky11:
Please... where can I get your themes :eek: NICE!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Can you please check if you have the MUI enabled? The HKLM\MUI\Enable value should be set to 1.

And do you have the file shellres.96.dll.xxxx.mui in your \Windows folder? (xxxx is the localization code that you'll find under HKLM\MUI\SysLang; 0409 is for english)

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Superdate:
unfortunately dont have this file:shellres.96.dll.xxxx.mui

has one called: shellresapps.dll.0409.mui in the windows folder

i was using this file:M&M Marshall WaitCursor Skin Touch WM6 [Multilanguage]

is that correct?>
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
It is a bit strange. Maybe you have to enable the option to show hidden files.

Anyway, do you get some errors during the installation? Or it completes succesfully?

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Vibestar:
hey marshall how do I make a cab like you did. I have changed some of the icons also.

Where can I find the animated icon in the dll file?? And is it posible to overwrite the dll in the windows folder when the mobile is running it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
To make the cabs I use

WinCe Cab Manage

r (15 days trial IIRC) but you can also use the windows makecab.exe that you already have in your PC Windows folder or the

Microsoft Cabinet Software Development Kit

. A google search for "cab maker" will give you many results.

You have to edit the file (gwes.exe for WM5 and shellres.96.dll for WM6) with a resource editor. The animation files are under the BITMAP section.

The Cab you'll make, if set properly, will automatically overwrite the file if it is not in use or it will set the file to be overwritten at the next reboot.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Vibestar:
I tried the DEv Kit but really doesnt understand it @ all.

Only thing I want to do is to overwrite the shellres.96.dll.0409.mui with my own one without the troubles of it beeing run or with signatures
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Superdate:
Well, so interesting Marshall

yesterday when i tried that, installation was fine, everything looks good, at the end of the installation, i asked me to restart, after reset, nothing happened.

Today I tried it again, with the same CAB file, no notification poped up push me to reset, but i still reset it.

And you know waht, the TOUCH waiting cursor jumped out...............

:D :D :D :D

So interesting.

From last night till now, i didnt even got any time to change any software or settings in the Dopod p800w.

Anyway, it worked now.

The regit in HKLM ....MUI are:

MUI: Enable 1

Syslang 1033

And now there is file named shellres.96.dll.0409.mui appeared in the Windows folder
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
So far so good. :)

Maybe the first installation went wrong. Anyway, the important is that it's working now.

Marshall

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mccune:
Tested the Wait Cursor for WM6 on the HTC Trinity, Karmba's latest ROM. This one OS: 5.2.1908 (Build 18508.0.7.0)

After installing the BlueSpin on the device and doing a soft reset it's still the old spinning wheel :( Is there something else I need to do?

Also tried the Vista cursor.

Checked the CAB all files are correct. The registry keys are also there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
I guess that the installation ends succesfully. It is strange since I tested them in the WM6 Emulator and they work good.

Con you tell me the date of the file \Windows\shellres.96.dll.xxxx.mui?

And the value of HKLM\MUI\Enable?

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ji1386:
hi just thought i'd add my little contribution to this thread. anyway i came across your wait cursors today and thought "finally i can change that ugly default colour wheel.

anyway on to my point:

*to anyone having trouble installing on a wm6 device (mine is a htc p4000(titan) with wm6), you should try installing the multilingual version. i tried the english version first and that didn't work at all, so i tried the multilingual version and one softreset later, got a nice touch wheel...

great work marshall...

ps. i'm in the process of trying to get the dialer skin to work now, i'm about half way there...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mccune:
\Windows\shellres.96.dll.xxxx.mui > date: 09-30-2007 (should be 10-04-2007)

HKLM\MUI\Enable\ = '1'

I've tried the "WM6 Multilanguage", thanks ji1386 for the tip ;) Now it does work. Didn't see this one yesterday, it was late :p I think that the "WM6 Multilanguage" is the only one working for WM6? Maybe you could add WM5 to the string of the other files.

Great work on this one Marshall! Multilangua
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
What are you trying to do? Hex-editing, Disassemble, Registry editing...? It would be wonderful if the "re-dial" feature could work on WM6, too.

Keep-up your work

Yes, it is the only one working with WM6. You are right, I'll add the WM5 string to that files. Thanks for the tip.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spencepu3:
I downloaded the .cab for the touch cursor and it is not working on my device (htc wizard running wm6) I do not have the file shellres.96.dll.xxxx.mui in my windows directory after installation. It says my installation was successful though and I did a soft reset after installation to no avail. Any clue?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
If you have WM6 you'll have to install the WM6 Multilanguage version.

However, I added the "WM5" string to the WM5 WaitCursors so users should not download the wrong files anymore.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nadavi:
Hi,

Installed the Ubunto Icon on HTC TYTN II (WM06).

The icons shows ok after SR.

but while dialing the icons disappear from the dialer and only video button remains...

wierd..

nadavi
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Which icons are you talking about?

Can you provide a screenshot, please?

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Hagow:
Thanks for the awsome "Wait Cursor" skins, just put it on my Trinity looks GREAT!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nadavi:
When you start a Phone Call There are button that appear that say:

Speaker, Call history, Mute...

etc...

So they are gone.

Nadavi.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
My dialer does not have the Video button. So, if you see the Video button, you probably have a conflict with another dialer previously installed (or the windows default one).

Try disabling the dialer skinning setting HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0.

Soft reset, then install my dialer.

I hope it can help.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nadavi:
ok,

Installed it again for experimental issue's.

and everything works :)

all 3 icons. on KAISER.

Thanks,

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hayaticik:
because of the lag time in our devices we have to watch that curser turn over and over again untill makes us dizzy..,isn't that the proof that our devices are slow? using a new curser proves that we accept to wait with our choosing of curser while it is loading.just kidding of course:)

Marshall07, when can you get the transparent waiting cursor on the road?

expecting that...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
I had some problems in displaying images. Now it's solved. But I'm still investigating on how to let my application know when the default WC is shown, in order to show mine.

Anyway, I'm going to update the Developement thread soon.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Diggia:
Ciao Marshall !

I try to install the Vista icon but after a soft reset i still have the default WC

Same result with the BlueSpin icon.

Of course i tried to re-install the two icons for the second time but nothing appears...

My device is an Eten X500+

Ps: You are invited in our italian forum to speak about your works, i send you a PM ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Ciao Diggia.

Thanks for your invitation. I'll join your forum ASAP. :)

Just to have a clear information: Did you install the WM6 version of that cursors? I ask you this because some users experienced similar problems and the reason was that they were installing the WM5 version (which replaces the gwes.exe file instead of the shellres.96.dll one). Recently I edited the filenames in my site prepending the actual OS version to avoid that problem. So you'll find lot of "WM5......" files and a "WM6....." one for each cursor.

If you did install the correct version, we have to investigate a bit to understand where the cause could be.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Diggia:
Great :)

About the cursor, i installed the WM6 mulltilanguage version...so i don't know why it doesn't works with my eten :(

Diggia
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giropizza:
I have a htc touch, I installed your cab but it doesn't work.

Info:

cab installed:

- touch for wm6 multilanguage

windows folder:

- shellres.96.dll 09/03/2007

- shellres.96.dll.0410.mui 24/09/2007 (date of first installation of your cab)

- shellres.dll 02/05/2007

- shellres.dll.0410.mui 02/05/2007

touch language.

- italian

Registry settings:

- MUI Enable (1)

The cursor work until the pin request, after this the cursor return to the default.

Ok, and now what I have to do?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Wow, it is very strange! So the cursor you installed is showed only at the start-up. After you enter the PIN, you get the default one?!

I wonder if there is some HTC program that handles the cursor. For example, some HTC users encountered a problem with my DialPad skin (they couldn't get the call history icons although they where correctly installed). The reason was that phcanOverbmp.dll overloaded that icons.

Can you point me to a ROM for your Touch so I can dump it and investigate?

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giropizza:
My rom is: 1.11.408.1B ITA

I haven't the DialPad skin but I have many sw.

I Think the issue regards wisbar 3 and its themes, I found a cursor settings, Can you say me what is the Wait animation file?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
You are right. Wisbar 3 handles the WaitCursor, too.

To be sure, you can try disabling the Waitcursor from Wisbar 3 and see if it works.

If you want to use my animations you'll find the frames into the shellres.96.dll.0410.mui resources (using a resource editor).

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giropizza:
I tried to use another animate file and the cursor change.

But wisbar give the ability to create a custom animate file giving him the image path.

So now where can I find the images to create the animate file?

eventually can you post a zip with the gifs, I create the animate files and repost them here for who has wisbar like me.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
You can take the BMP files editing the dll with a resource editor (like Resource Tuner, Res Hack, exescope...). If you want I can post some of them. Which one do you want?

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] giropizza:
I find a solution for wisbar.

If someone wants use wisbar and change the cursor I post a sample.

I use this now and the only thing to do is to put in a same folder both files in the attached file and then point to it from wisbar.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You will be very limited on what you can do with a China based deviced. Mostly because Google doesn't have any agreement with China for Google products like the play store. They also tend to use modified versions of Android that are set to lie about internals and other things. I would stay away from them. I can guess that the price is what got you to buy it but remember you get what you pay for.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Worldblender:
This is one that is leased similar like AT&T UVerse tv boxes, in which I get to use it for the period that I pay service, so if my family ends service with ITalkBB, we may have to return the box to the company. It may not be like I get to own that box forever.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
And this is why I dont use any of these types of boxes. They are great gimmics for now but in the end useless for me.

If it is leased and you do end up modding it you will be charged for the full price and if they find out they can make you pay the rest of your period and cancel it on you.

Ill be honest Android based TV will fade away just like smart tvs are starting to.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Worldblender:
Maybe next time, when I get an opportunity, I'll look for a TV box that won't be this limited; how come you say that Android TV is fading away?
