hmm, the signing tool wont sign the .mui file. anyone else run into this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aguas:
so howd you get the signing tool to finally sign the .mui file? it keeps giving me the error messages, but when i attempted to sign the original .mui it gave me the success message. why would just changing two icon files keep it from signing?

edit: attached the icons
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Madremiha:
I don't know why before that not worked but now it's ok i use mssigner from the rapidshare link which is in this post, i think...

I have dld your zip but i can't open it :confused: maybe corrupted.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_deimos:
I used only GIMP to create the icon. I just exported the original 21x18 icon from shellres with reshacker, opened it up with the gimp, deleted the layer with original windows logo and pasted my own icon there (just make sure that layer size is 21x18), and simply saved - not with "save as" but just "save". If there's only one layer with the same dimensions as one in original icon, the save options dialog won't pop up and the icon will be saved as 21x18. But if you use "save as", options will pop up and you'll only be able to save the icon as 21x21 image.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Madremiha:
Ok ;) thanks again for you help.

Here's the icons i used and the correspondants files are in the zip.

@Deimos: as i said i've only changed the first icon (21x18) and all works fine ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aguas:
Madremiha, thanks i just used your set of vista spheres and it worked perfectly. they look great. thanks again
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Madremiha:
Thanks

I will do other later ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Madremiha:
And how do you resize the image you place on the layer?

[EDIT] It's okay i found it :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KrAId:
Hello again,

first thx to all for your help!

-i asked marshall and he told me to manually add 2 keys in the reg - now it works for my shellres.192.dll too! :rolleyes:

:(my new problem is, that the vista orb is to small in 41x36(like in agamemmnon pic -post#54)! -is there a way to add bigger .ico´s? or is there a tool/prog that only changed the taskbar skin(e.g. to add a vista like skinned bar and make the whole 41x36 ico transparent)? it should look like in the pic of wisbar theme i attached(but without the mass of other things that come with wisbar(cascade menu,custom menu icons,custom volume changer...).

Hope someone can help? :(

THX,Vicky.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KrAId:
Can someone please help me with my problem? I´m thankful for any idea:D!!

-i read something about gigabar, icbar and pocketblinds but they are all to old! :mad:

and Madremiha :rolleyes: can you please upload the png´s of your icons, because they are to small for my ppc?!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Agamemmnon:
I make with Photoshop a Icon with the Windows Colors.

If somebody like it, he can download the Shellres.96.dll.

I revised also the Systen PNG.

The Icon for the Sound Control is changed, Diamond like and a little cleaner.

You can use the System.png for S2U2, S2P, S2V, icontact ect.

Edit:Attention, the Shellres.96.dll has the german code 0407!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GadgetFreak:
So all we have to do is copy the shell res file into windows?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] prepsssuck:
Changed start icon with no problems...but how do you go about changing any of the other icons...everytime I change any other icons msigner fails to complete signing...any help or point in the right direction would be great
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Madremiha:
Hi here is some new Star icons :)

If you have some icons you want i change ;)

Enjoy
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Madremiha:
Hi what are the regkey marshall said you to add?

Did rename the file or is it the same (shellres.192.dll)?

And is it working good?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wapvirus:
Thank You so much mine is now working Used shellresNameHelper to find my correct XXXX.mui then changed the name of the shellres.96.dll.040C.mui downloaded from here to shellres.96.dll.0409.mui run msigner then copied the new file to my windows directory Thanks all who helped to make this work:)

Acces Denied

Alright I have resco and total commander but no matter what I try I cannot copy edit or modify shellres.96 or any of the files associated with it in its name group, I also tried extracting them from my rom but that wouldn't work well for me either, I am pretty new to this stuff so any help would be great.

My phone specs are the at&t tilt with stock attrom wm6.1 no bloatware

newest resco explorer and regeditor
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mrhayami:
Start Bar, Title Bar Icons and More! (Basic Tutorial Comming Soon)

Alright scratch my previous post, If there is anyone using a att Tilt with the stock roms here is what you do. Download Rom_Extractor place it anywhere on your phone (I threw it on my storage card) this will allow you to extract protected files nice and easy if nothing else is working for you. You will need from what I see in ResHacker shellres.96.dll and from here in reshacker the first set of bitmaps will be your waiting cursors, after you are done with that you can move down to the icons tree. Here you will find a ton of icons for your title bars settings windows and pretty much everything on your phone the start button is located at 288 and 289. Once you change what you want you can now save the file as shellres.96.dll.xxxx.mui and then continue on to sign it using mssingtool or any other signer. If you have the certificates already stored in your registry you should be fine after a soft reset if not you can get basic SDKSimplePrivdeveloper certificate and then add those two registry entries: Certificates

These two features seem to be the most desired and so that is all I will post but through there you should be able to change things like (battery Icons, settings icons, system icons and explorer icons) So have fun! Hope this made it quick and easy for you instead of trial and error and hours of searching the forums for no real answers, Cheers!

NOTE: I have done this with an AT&T Tilt with the new stock att rom for wm6.1

Also a quick tutorial on the Rom Extractor its relatively easy but in the output you do not enter the path just the file name, it will appear under the "My Device folder" from there move it to where you want and slap it on your computer :D

------------------------

OK one last thing!!

Alright I am going to post a map of all the icon files and bitmap files in shellres.96.dll for wm6.1 that I can find this will come in two parts with pictures of the icons that correspond with the entry numbers. Hope this Helps

Part 1 is here and part 2 will be done by tomorrow (I Hope)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mrhayami:
Give Up

Alright I give up I thought I had it but for some reason my windows folder does not have any mui files for shellres.96 at all, I tried using someone elses but that still wont work. Any ideas or help would be great
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wapvirus:
Read how i got this working you must install a m&m wait cursor first this is to allow your system to use shellres.96.dll.xxxx.mui (note the .mui) i have uk rom so mine was shellres.96.dll.0409.mui read my post and it should become clearer :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pconnors44:
Whats up guys. Im using Resco 08 to try to get shellres.dll from device to desktop,& keep getting a "cannot copy - access denied" notification every time I try to copy, move,compress, rename, & whatever else. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: nevermind. got it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mrhayami:
actually marshall showed me another way where I didnt need that and I wound up editing my battery and startbar icons while i was in there. :D I was actually on the right track in making my own mui just i didnt have the reg certificates :D so once I got those I was set I'll finish my post with the mapped dll witht eh icons in it later.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nursemm05:
I'm having issues with this. I've tried to copy with sync as well. Using sync, total commander AND resco I get an error message saying it can't be done. I've tried to change the properties to allow it to be copied and it won't work. Suggestions? Under properties the check boxes are: read only, rom, system. Unchecked are hidden and archive.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mrhayami:
Use ROM Extractor that was the only way for me to do it. I was puzzled for a while too especially when I played with those attributes too. Gl if you need more help pm Ive got it down now xD
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nursemm05:
thanks. I'll try that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bandit13:
Hi,

Someone can help me : I try to find the "Signal Strength" icon (or bitmap) but I can't find it (not in shellres....dll, phcanoverbmp.dll , ...)

If Someone know the answer it will be great !!!

Thanks

Sebastien
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mrhayami:
it should be in shellres.96.dll under icons tab, try 27,28 (no service x, and no bars). 30,31,32,33(searching for service). the rest I beleive show up black in reshacker you need to copy them into photoshop or something to be able to see them correctly hope that helps some, I'd find em for you but I need to head to work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chocmatic:
hmmm cant seem to copy the file using total comm. or resco

If try to install wait cursor, it doesn't work. install successfull, but neither .mui is created nor wait cursor is working after reset. I have a diamond with WM 6.1. What can I do? Maybe Should I try to modify the dll's from my sistem? These are shellres related files I have on my system:

shellresapps.96.dll

shellresapps.dll

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chapasgore:
what about wait cursor icons?

After successful modifying of shellres.192.dll...

I searched for the wait cursor icons on every shellres related file, but no success. Anybody knows where in the hell these icons are located?

Many thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KMFM$:
They should be under "Bitmap" in the shellres.192.dll.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lardo5150:
okay, I got the icon changed, but it is blurry for some reason, or not as sharp.

I have tried 41x41, 21x21, etc. All the same.

Does anyone knw what it should be for an HTC touch pro?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] amnya:
Hi, 1. Which icon file did you change, i have an HTC Touch Pro opened the file with resHack but cannot find the start menu icon. Which value does it go under? Posts here suggest value 288-289 but seems thats on old windows and old mobiles. The HTC Touch Pro has WinMo6.1 as we all know, so, what are the values to be changed here?

PS: When i play with the manilla files, and then do a hard reset for example, are these files reset back to factory defaults? Or am i actually playing with my original rom here? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 4getfull:
ok i have an 8125 i tried doing this and i think i broke it :( all it dose is turn on all the way till it gets to my homescreen i can see that it did what i wanted it to but nothing works no bottons, softkeys nothing on the screen then when it goes to sleep i cant wake it up untill i do a softreset is there anything i can do to fix it or im S.O.O.L? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
You may need a hardreset to fix that...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 4getfull:
ok how can i do that when the phone dosent go anywhere from the homescreen or dosent do anything at all unless i can do a hard reset from my computer isit posible?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
The 8125 is a wizard variant I think.

If yes,

From the wiki.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 4getfull:
ahh ill try that right now
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 4getfull:
o yes it worked woooohooo thax guy without you guys i would of tossed it in the trash already but im really glad people like you are around to help thanx in tones:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mudvayne622:
does this work with a 6.5 rom build 28014? anyone?....anyone?....Bueller...Bueller? lol sorry getting crazy frustrated and i just want to change my start icon and wait cursor already
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rjl319:
i do not have the shellres.dll.0409.mui (usa) under window

instead, it says shellresapps.dll.0409. are these two files the same?

also there is no option to delete this file.

i extracted the shellres.dll.0409 file for the icon that i wanted and pasted this file under the windows folder,performed a soft reset and nothing...

any advice?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Giblet-dono:
Shell32.exe should be in the windows folder on your phone,

It's hidden so search for it with resco explorer or something like that!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rjl319:
i actually found out that for the touch pro 2 cdma

there is a file called shellres.192.dll this hold the start icon info as well as the x button, check button and more.

you can create your own start icon by copying this shellres file to your computer and using unsigner, reshacker, then mssigner.

unfortunately, my files are being unsigned, reshacker works, but mssigner doesnt. i think it has something to do with the certificates expiring on 12/31/09 or something. if anyone knows more - please let me know.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mpetry90:
Hey guys,

I'm just wondering if this is an issue related to my phone or carrier or if anyone else out there is having the same issue: after I updated my Android to 8.1 Oreo I can't seem to be able to add or edit any APN settings on my phone. This is the first time I am trying to do this on my Essential phone, but I have always been able to change APN settings on other phones that I've had without any problem.

This is what I see when I go to Settings->Network & Internet->Mobile Network->Advanced->Access Point Names:

[IMG="Screenshot"]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/X0ZllrWNla8Y1nHSaGRmU1SH_5jDZDKfG_4OyuU3oqNqKEOBcrLEgx8J8hxvd7_1EHUS-d0o-EOm5ZLhJQ9zunaXOGl9763_KfcbgQAb-0NmcY5qbG9AHs4zzXOiqp9q_gEof5inxiYlTHpIqxUMF0XU9_oleCUGIzbLuNvKlVcC7az2b-L8-tGuvfc3ijivvtnZF6nOj8HVuyqD1PpZneTNeRnHE9zYRW2fjrVsSvG_wTluH30FxM555ooFU6p48FJh-7qrz4F-fq7IsKNVwPeu493Be-HUGWxvmT_K6r-zqOBJ1vFFGzkVowfqezWHmZvkv_2A2VP44bsBqtWUQ73eBpjmGlQiQ3WLntNfQAem4ZAvyuF637GQTRMTxs5IUM55cEp5_hDe6ONoA6kRZIV-VybXgiTH7enB3dtC772uRMRRqXkXD3rUhzBUIzMgoc_N37jJ6Bn3pXnusB4Pc5-uFvs0aM8a00Xl1JPM6f8X9e4vMdjIfv6P2DBBuNegIpaXxAgVok5-EVSvOEugVf_wFdRvicHDdQXlyRhwdtTu0nx1c4uqZsk_zxu5n6ndh2P_Uqw6lmBtEh8TPvnABI9ocihNYlX2hTzDw2p0=w666-h1299-no[/IMG]

I can't remember exactly what it used to show on other phones that I've had, but I am pretty sure there used to be a button with a plus sign that allowed to add new entries or edit existing ones, whereas now on this phone I can't.

Does anyone know how to fix it?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] bionemesis:
You can't. It came up in Essentials last Reddit AMA. Carriers requested that it be locked down, so they introduced it with 8.1.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I changed carriers multiple times recently to try and find one that would work well with this phone. What I experienced was that the APN settings were unlocked on GSM Carriers (AT&T & T-Mobile) but locked on the CDMA ones (Sprint & Verizon). My APN settings were wrong on Total Wireless (Verizon network) and since they were locked the carrier had to send the correct ones to my phone.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mrpibb:
Same experience here, with Total Wireless on both an Essential PH-1 and Pixel 2. The workaround is to insert a GSM sim (even without service), add/modify the APN settings that you need, and then reinsert the CDMA sim. It should pick up the APN settings that you configured with the GSM sim.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mpetry90:
Hey guys,

Thank you for your replies.

So pretty much the only solution is to root the device?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gillim74:
Flash a rom that your apn works on must be rooted.go into system,etc copy the apn xml file to your pc.flash the rom the apns are blank for move the apn file you copied to your pc back into system,etc change permissions to rw-r-r reboot and profit apns will be there data will work etc.then you can unroot!!!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Caltinpla:
No, you don't have to. I'm not rooted (never been) and I'm still be able to edit my APN's.

I'm on stock 8.1 with April security update.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jhs39:
The previous post provided an alternate solution if you have access to a GSM SIM.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] bionemesis:
Just a heads up that the whole GSM SIM bypass thing may not work and may depend on the SIM. I'm on Telus in Canada, which is GSM, and I cannot edit my APN settings.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jhs39:
That sucks. I wonder why carriers want them locked down. It makes troubleshooting harder and the only way to fix them if wrong is to contact your carrier (which already happened to me).
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Iam.Nickless:
Oreo 8.1 with April Update works on GSM Essential

I just changed my APN Settings today with Essential and Oreo 8.1 for TMobile.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] searobbins:

Don't see APN settings

Hi Guys,

I've never been able to download MMS messages on my essential (Project Fi). Today I tried to google around and found APN settings so went ahead and added a new APN for tmobile: Settings->Network & Internet->Mobile Network->Advanced->Access Point Names

Now, I just don't see the option for "Access Point Names" anymore :(

All I see under "Advanced" is "Carrier Video Calling". I've reached out to Essential but wondering if someone here could help (please please don't suggest a factory reset :)

Hi guys,

I have a Lenovo K6 Power ( karate ) with the K33_S231_171114_ROW build. But the problem exists along every build and custom ROM i had flashed and recovered in my device.

Sometimes the second SIM is not recognize, but when i restarted the device, it worked again and then after using it is not recognized, but randomly in time.

A single restart will make both of the SIM works, but it is annoying when looking at the phone and see the main SIM for calling is not available.

I'm in a country that allow Dual SIMs, and also paid for subsciption of both SIMs and these work flawlessly in the normal state, but the problem still here and i don't know what to do :crying::crying:
