UC compliant replacer

Hey Guys,

To make the rom meets everyone's taste i saw some talking about UC but there is an other program i want you all to see, i already discussed it with Pkoper some time ago.

And if i read the description of the Tier autoinstall, i think it's posible for Our customers to put the cab files they want in a specific folder and install them on the rom setup.

here is the link

btw this one is also interesting, but i think most of you already know this one

I must say Tiemann made a couple of nice apps.

Some Suggestion

A FLV player is must. TCPMP or any other plugin for FLV to work with media player. Some of the feature of S2U2 application. Its a big application for ELF user. Features like Full screen picture display for incoming call. And the auto screen/device off during the call. I just use the S2U2 only for these two feature, don't like to unlock the device every time by sliding the fingure.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Nope didn't know the dialer making App that does make life a bit easier.

My two cents on UC replacement.

UC has been gethering a big following on XDA and i know that if you build it in and don't use it the end user won't be bothered by it. I would stick to UC. And i haven't looked op the thread but there was a tool to use on the phone in development to. But the Tier Autoinstall does look easy in use. But a downer would be that if someone that doesn't know what is going on after flash suddenly gets this question about cabs ans starts installing away filling his phone memory up. Because i think everyone has some Cabs on the root of SD. And at least one Cab will be in Windows memory (to fix Reg settings that don't want to stick after flash)

Bram can you Up the tool you use to make TSK's?

the one i'm using isn't cutting it.

I think i have two Surface's now.

I'll leave it to you to come up with the definete TSK and maybe an extra one.

But 4 new Custom TSK's shouldn't be to hard on Rom Memory.

I've been working on the HTC Home graphics to be Useable with darker and lighter TSK's. And it is different.

Damn it's hard finding something that is'nt to OFF for the eye.

Again if TCPMP doesn't make the Rom Memory. It can be UC-ed to SD ;)

But it is better to have TCPMP in ROM memory because working from SD you have a bigger change at stutters.

And i do indeed like S2 apps from A_C His Picures app is smaller then HTC Album And the same goes for his S2P compared to Audio manager. And S2U changes the useblility in a friendly understandable way so that any user that doesn't know it can easily understand how it works without esxplanation.

I'm curious about Bram's view on these.

But the Brushed Metal Surface thme is getting to me, and from a lazy viewpoint it is easy to skin the other apps with.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] nion:
no answares??

please :o
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Ameet:
we re working on it brother.. lets c how things come up ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Okay i'll be nice.

It will be ELF and ELFIN as usual on this forum ELF thread.

But why anwser if there is no Rom right.

Still playing around untill i can get a better feeling of Bram's Ideas.

Font is Kozuka Gothic Pro for Clock.

Let's hope Bram comes up with something better this is going nowhere with me.

Does anyone have the HTC Home DLL files for the official Wasabi Green version?

Or does anyone know how to get another HTC Home Media Player Tab Font Colour?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Ameet:
hey piranha, noonski.. i finally changed the icons and the start menu with its name.. check the screenshots.. didnt add any dll file but edit the res file, thats it.. simple.. i think we can use this concept to make touch surface our signature rom with our icons (if bram approves ofcrse..)

somebody please make the icons and images, we gonna need them if bram agrees
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Piranha1:
Looks cool.:D i have the same file open.(shellres.96.dll) Look here when you search Icons. http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/icons/os/win/ And this is the best icon editor and its free.:) http://icofx.ro/.And outres.dll (SYS\Redistis)is for the Calendar,Contakts and Task.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Ameet:
the icons on that site are cool.. i am using icofx (find it very reliable) ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] holodila:
Well, I'm very far from cooking, but I can do the russian translation if you want))
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Yes edit the res is the easy way.

As long as you replace with the correct icon size, but replace the incorrect icon and you will be scratching your head with weird bugs.

Don't forget you are patching a system dll and signing it with a non original MS signature.

See it as a challenge findingthe hard way, because it is possible without using reshack on shellres ;)

But it is indeed the only way to change the start icon unfortunatly.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Ameet:
:D already checked this.. couldnt find any good icons for these thts why i didnt edit these ;)

Touchflo2

Hi Again,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=343373

Found the forum that explains bout the touchflo 2 found on the touch dual, i think it would be a kickass addition to the ROM, hope u can extract it !! it doesnt only include the image viewer but also change from an sms to another in outlook by swiping, just watch the video and tell me if possible to extract and apply in you rom!! good luck!

If you dont mind im also working on some grafix that ill give you soon for you to check out!!

Has anyone seen a QVGA version of the new Volumeslider?

Couldn't find the background BMP in any of the files..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] pkoper:
This one is nice for converting http://emerym.homeip.net/rlToday/upload.cgi

and see attached.... just rename to .rar
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:

Still handy.

And finally found this little thing i never had the time to implement.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSStart

"BKBitmapFile" = "\\windows\\stonehenge.gif"

"BKBitmapTransparent" = dword:FF00FF

"BKFlags" = dword:1a

"GridView" = dword:1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSStart\Games

"BKBitmapFile" = "\\windows\\bliss.gif"

"BKBitmapTransparent" = dword:FF00FF

"BKFlags" = dword:1a

"GridView" = dword:0

It's for Standard Smartphones but never tested it on PPC.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] pkoper:

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Straetmans:

This one seems to be QVGA, because in the todo list stands to make it compatible with VGA.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Yes i saw that one. Pkoper posted it. But i meant the original Diamond slider.

I read Dutty has an unpublished version of a patched vga version.

It enables you to use a background picture inside the Program files folder and subfolders.

But this is for Standard Smartphone.

Tested it didn't work let's restart.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Timminater:
waitcursor ?

maybe create a animated own waitcursor out of the new logo for this rom??

something like http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=317476

i can make the animated icon if you like, but i can't edit dll files to include it, or anyone must point me in the right direction....
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
That shouldn't be to hard.

Decompile the Marshal cab then reshack the file. (i thought it had 16 frames in total) I can use flash to calculate the needed frames using a tween.

Attached is the 16 frame sequence in 32 by 32. They need to be converted and then cwitched in any Marshall waiting cursor. (gehehe nope not in the OS original file)

Who wants to test the Waiting Cursor?

(yes i'm going to test it but the rom i was running allready had a Replaced Waiting cursor so i ned to flash to another first.)

Sorry for stealing your icon making job, but i'm an addict when it comes to doing something right away;)

It was a great idea.

I made a Flash movie with 17 frames.

Every 4 frames i rotated 90 degrees and the last 5 i also rotated 90 degrees. then i entered a new keyframe at frame 16 and then removed frame 17.

Made a movie export to BMP seqeunce at 32 by 32 pixels.

Opened shellres.96.dll.temp.mui in Reshack and replaced the first 16 bitmaps.

Resaved and replaced the MUI.

But i seem to have forotten one thing....

Signing it.

Can anyone help me out with that i'm going to sleep.

Remove the .zip from shellres.96.dll.temp.mui.zip

Removed the files found the issue in incorrect bitdepth and DPI for the bmp files.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Ameet:
i changed my icons, waiting cursor, edited the about screen and lot more dlls, exe, and mui files, but i didnt need the signer :eek: just edited those files, coked and flashed them up.. it worked.. i didnt add any dll icon files (just edited the original files) wanted to keep the rom clean.. :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
What i'm trying to say is that that is indeed a working solution.

But it only takes 1 incorrect byte in a system dll to start causing issues from small to big. Take the dissapearing Close button boundary from TouchCP for instance.

Or your Start menu that only appears after you click on it.

Or i have some examples where the Top bar status icons completly dissapear because i replaced the 32X32 icons with 34X34 icons. BTW i removed the graphics, they needed to be in 16 bits 96 dpi.

Maybe you have a better vesion of Reshack. But reshack removes the official MS signature from the DLL.

Because most of us disable security checks in winmobile and also make it accept unsigned apps the dll's get accepted..

So on the outside everything looks fine. But the file is still different in size because it doesn't have the signature.

If you use PEexplorer for instance, it will leave the signature in, but then you still need to check that the file retains the exact byte count.

Attached the flash file and the converted Exported bmp files in 32 32 16 bit.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Ameet:
hmm.. i never thought about the reshack version ;) actually i re check my uce rom and you were right about the custtsk.exe error (that coz i accidently removed that file and later forgot to add while cooking) thanx for the tip :D but the start menu icon shows up on my device the moment sdautorun is complete :eek: the icons and bitmaps that i changed in the dll and exe and mui files are the exact size as existing (32x32 8bit) and (16x16 8bit) although i would like to know further from u how did u manage to get the 16bit icons to work.. i wanna do the 16bit icons too, they look cool.. finally when i saved the files the size was an exact match.. i used icofx to edit the icons (delete the additional sizings)

also can u tell me if i add one more dll file with only the custom icons keeping the existing dlls unchanged, how do i change the reference for the files to use icons from my custom dll file?

p.s. the cursor is AWESOME brother :D but just my 2 cents again, wont it look good with a white bg?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
The wait cursor doesn't support transparancy unfortunatly.

And since there's a big opening in the middle i think whit would stand out to much.

Well i have been braking my head trying to change control panel icons and did not find any variation that worked.

So to change Control panel icons and startmenu icons the only way is to use reshack.

But for other folder icons and short cuts

you use

69#"\Windows\something.exe" 2?\windows\My.dll,-4609

icon.lnk for folder icons

69#My.dll,-4609

When i extracted the original BMP files from the dll and checked the properties it said 16 bit so i kept it at that. But it might indeed be that they should actually be 8 i'll test in 14 hours.

I gots my wizard back from friend so i got secondary device now.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Ameet:
folders and shortcuts icons is kinda easy to change but its only the control panel or application icons that takes time ;) attached some screenshots which works well using reshack (but need to extract each icon to make sure i have the right resolution in new icon)

Nice list for this ROM :)

Question: Will there be a PP change done ?

For Elf, from 8MB to 4MB PP for some better smoother working with the phone ?

And what about Advanced Config ? also a nice tool to have in...

Greez,
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
There will be version for elf and elfin, elf one is more stripped down and a pp of 4mb.

Advance config added to the list.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] nl1010:
Thanks for your answer :) Bram.

Any idea when the ROM will be finnished ?

Then, I'll try this new ROM, and give my findings here as feedback, okay ?

Greez, Theo.

P.S. And I now use also WkTASK, a very good and nice Taskbar utility.

Works very good to manage running programms etc.....

Please have a look if you don't know it.

Maybe it's also something for the list here :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] StreetBiker:
Hey Guys,

is it possible to make the ROM only with the really nessecary items:

- Battery status

- Office 6.1

- NetCF

I really like Bram's Rom's but I have still the Small Memoty Touch, so I would like to keep the memory as big as possible.

All the other programs could be supply as .cab files so everybody is free to install what he would like.

Thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] havocnl:
Nice icons :D, but i don't how these will match the new logo and color settings though...?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] havocnl:
These are my suggestions for the list. All small apps but extremely useful in my opinion.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] nl1010:
Other suggestion for the ROM:

Put in some real nice sounds, so no "old" sounds like every other ROM has...

This would also make it nicer to work with.

And yes, maybe it's a good idea to keep the ROM as small as possible, and provide all the extra progs in seperate CAB files :)

Then everyone can decide for themselves what to install.

Can't wait to test the ROM ......................

Thanks here all for your hard work.

I had flash a rom of you bram beatefull rom. But there was batery status included in the rom. And when tis is on my elfin it always reboot. I had the problem also with the stock rom and with every rom that i have flash untill now. is there any way to get it completely out of the rom. I have try to just do stop batery status but my elfin always reboot. I have to find a way get it completely out the rom. Need some help please??? THNX

Hey Roosen,

i think you must download the new batterystatus from the donwload site.

Just google on batterystatus and you'll find it.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Ameet:
@noonski. we can certainly remove the welcomehead.96.png file without compromising on the screen alignment thingy. i had it removed from one of my uce roms for the user to get the right to choose without increasing the no of files in windows folder. we can although disable the welcome image screen (again without compromising on the screen alignment thing) but then the screen will be pure white (like the doors to heaven ;)) at boot up

@bram. i agree with noonski. hypercore is way too complex for cooking elfin roms. i mean we will have to really spend time on rebuilding the bat files. even i suggest we use bepe's kitchen with the all-in-one-package tool or with the normal package tool (if u want the rom to be repackable or not) this kitchen is way more easier to cook

@noonski. i have done the xip porting and the sys porting of this build and i am aware of the process. i'll upload a readme file (if bram agrees) on the server for the cooks to get a clear picture of how it is to be done (xip porting is easy but the sys porting needs the cpl trick) also removed the hd.dll and osax*.dll files from the ported xip of my newest rom which gives .07mb more space in the program memory (every byte counts ;))

I had the same problem with BatteryStatus. I have the Elfin and BatteryStatus caused problems like rebooting, freezing and the likes. I always used the latest version of the program. It's not the overclocking that caused this. I now use Omapclock to overclock without any problem.

So please, leave out BatteryStatus. People who really want it will install the CAB.

Same goes for tweaking software like Schapps, PocketToolman and others. Or even taskmanagers. Everybody has his own favorite program. Leave it out and let the users choose themselves what they want for this.

What do you think?
