You need to edit the shellres.96.dll in Base_Dpi_96 and replace the icons 4609 & 4617 to what you want. I dont remember off hand what the resolution should be but you will know that when you extract the icons for replacing ;)

Hey gonna try the new build probably monday evening. Now at a LAN-party having fun without a decent interent connection. Anything i should take notice of in the latest(last) beta build????
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bereda:
thanks ameet im also working on one withou the top bar and bottom compelety like you would use an icon in the launcher to bring up the start menu so if you know the .exe or ini or whatever the value is for that itd be appreciated

you should see the changes im doing its looking good!!! all new and designed with the surface in mind.. because with all the changes and evolving thats being done with this rom we shouldnt be bound to the windows mobile format we should evolve to the surface format..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Master05:
So you are working on a shortcut and/or main menu like it was in the original roms :confused:

If yes, would be awesome ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
There is a Start Menu with shortcuts.

There was a mortscript posted that had most of them to fix.

Hmm my beta flash testing handz are really starting to itch..... want to flash but going away for four days so no go....

Btw good job on the backwards compatibility option. Really curious on how the new menu works :)

Was working with SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 with Diamond Skin for a while, this is also a whole other way to work with your mobile. Wonder how much your way will change my view ;) Will test it on friday (as soon i get back behind my pc)

Happy testing en localizing! Will join you again friday the 8th!

Signing out :cool:

Well it's not as advanced as SPB, as it mainly only replaces Menu's and Extends options of the Hardware and Softbuttons.

Main thing is the memory that it uses.

It unloads when exiting through downwards swipe (almost unloads completly) Ans SPB keeps using Mucho Memory and has left gestures.

I thought you where gone allready.

I'd say this would just be good for Actuall Field testing

As for the backwards comp, Ameet's the one going crazy on writing Files out of thin air using Mortscript.

Flashed and going. I like the concept. Gonna take some getting used to remember where things are in the menu system. Feels like a maze at the moment. Is there a way to back out of the maze a step at a time? i.e. a "back button"

Thanks loads. Lovin' it.

going well......... but a few bugs-

1. 'End key> toggle wifi' is not workin.

2. 'Connect to> ActiveSync' is saying error

3. mort script is not closing by tappin x button. hav to terminate with task manager to close.

4. when i press 'contacts' in the call status page its taking me to 'mort buttons' page(same as 'personal').

hope to see this things corrected in the final version....

great job anywez.....

See almost forgot about these. Good Finds.

1. Fixed because new CommManager will be added.

2. Good one. Will be fixed for now the Easy fix is to do it manually by euh..... Downloading the attached file, renaming the file extension back to .mscr

Drop the file into the \Windows\StartUp\

Folder and restart your device.

Fix has been incoporate into next weeks Candidate.

3. It does close the actuall Menu when you Tap and hold X. normal Tap will keep the MEnu still in memory.

But to make life easier don't tap X just swipe down and that does unload the Menu. But Mort Buttons Exe will stay hidden in Memory to open Menu's quicker.

But this can also be disabled. in MortButtons settings.

Up >> Left >> Accessories >> Ex Menu >> Set Up Menu >> Extended >> Disable Stay In Memory.

4. Hmm have to look ito that but it's fixable. For now the easy fix is to use Advanced Config or Softkey Applet in System settings to configure Right softkey to randomacces.exe. Or even better i have added the fix to the fix from first Find. http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=103972&stc=1&d=1217885381

But i see you meant the Callstatus Page in Phone..... I'll take care of that for sure I need to fix the addrbook.lnk and the MSCONTACTS registry settings. Not a smart idea replacing it there.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
What Hu, I cannot accept that from you:confused: your even working on this project?

But i'm not going to shy away from new shoes, you probably seen a few of the pictures of them up in that other thread ;)

How d I customise the personal screen please?

I have done it once, and added tomtom to my personal screen, however, now, when I go into the personal screen, I can see the link to open tomtom, but no link to edit the personal screen.

Thanks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Swipe Up >>Swipe Left >> Accessories >> Extra Menu's >> Setup Menu's >> Edit Menu's >> MortButton 5 (Personal).

Yes the edit this menu dissapears once you ad one item.

You can also choose to not hide the Menu bar in the display settings for the menu. This gives you a menu entry at the right soft key.

Yes it's Elfin Worthy.

Well you can start on the Menu ;) and just keep a back up of the MBI files in windows folder and submenu folder.

But a vacation on the end of this project sounds like a good idea first.

New Commmanager is of the hook goingto start skinning HTC Commmanager.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] xxxxchrisxxxx:
Hi Noonski,

My menus are the same as this up to 'Setup Menus'. Once I get here, there is no 'Personal Menu' option.

Swipe Up >>Swipe Left >> Accessories >> Extra Menu's >> Setup Menu's >> Edit Menu's >> MortButton 5 (Personal).

Noonski Edit: Put Q into Future FAQ

Tnx.

Don't understand the "Communicating" reference.

But if it's about the commmanager.

Here's a What i'm working on.

I'm only using the brushed metal Background because it gives me a good way to check which Font Color Goes best with everything.

And the background can be changed anyway fairly simple.

I'll post the Skinning PNG file when i'm finished and a cab.

(without the 400k CommManagerRes.dll file which it doesn't need unless you use the non skinned mode, if i can safe space i safe space)

So it's going to be classic HTC Commmanager Horizontal for the endkey.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] NJackal:
working kewl and speedy too

hats off to Noonski & ababrekar bro's and other members of the crew

waiting for the final build......:D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
So we got the indian region covered, south africa, New Zealand, Netherlands.

But India leads in the most supportive corner.

xxxxchrisxxxx

Thanks Noonski. I think I have it sussed out now.

One other thing though... I can't seem to get on my wifi anymore.

Comm manager won't launch - I get an error message about it being unsigned, and if I use the long press on the red key, then click toggle wifi, nothing happens. No wifi is turned on and I cannot connect.

Any ideas? am i doing something wrong?

Noonski Edit:

Well if you don't mind having a commmanager that only has a portrait skin because i will finish landscape tomorow you can install the Com manager (with temp Brushed metal Background in half an hour.

Endkey functions will change.

Fini

The attached Cab will replace the Leng End Fucntion with CommManager

Wifi Working like a charm here Do you have ELF or ELFIN?

So tomorow a landscape skin then put back network wizard into the rom on Wednesday.

Thursday Portrait WMP Skin (again prepared for easy skinning for final Background graphics), based on the HTC Full screen Big Button version.

Friday a Landscape skin for WMP.

Oe BTW WMP skin will be installed to your SD during Autorun, so any skins you save inside a named folder into \Storage Card\My Documents\Windows Media Skins\.

Will be selectable as a skin for WMP, in case you want to use a different one.

Then Saturday and Sunday i have to integrate VoiceCommand and Network Wizard into the Menu's.

Any one seen some nice icons (PNG) for these?

Is the storage acceptable? (gnegne Rassum Frassum it's still fast)

[Touch GSM ROM Development] abinbasu:
& i more question- how & where to configure long press end key?

Noonski Edit: Added to Future FAQ

Another good one.

Advanced config has a setting for this but it's not picking up the files as it should, so i but a script in "Start >> Settings >> System Tab >> Administrative Tools >> KeyPressSettings"

As you see there are actually two script there i already removed the KPS version from next build.

I'm starting to believe this Release Candidate Thread was a good idea.

1 small issue I faced. When I hide "Weather" & "Profile" tabs from HTC Home. After that, the clock on Home was not displayed completely. The last characters of "AM/PM" & "Clock" were shown as out-of-focus [wasn't able to take screenshot].

Though the issue got resolved after a soft-reboot.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Yes sometimes rotating the screen to landscape and back should also fix this.

Maybe it has to do with a registry setting called slideoutrotateangle, but i haven't done tests with this (and may not for a while as it's is not the most nervewrecking problem.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] abinbasu:
Hey Noonski how does this KPS (key press settings) work man? im not being able to work it out. it give me a list of folders & after selecting a folder there is only two options- none/remove.

Just tested this ROM. Man! This Rocks!

You were right, it is an ELFOLUTION!

Takes some getting used to but its great. it was time for a change from the old menu/cube style.

Can't wait for the final version.

Used it now for a few days it realy rocks....

Is it right that sim manger is in german?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zuperzuze:
lol, noticed that... Had to google-translate it to use xD
[Touch GSM ROM Development] cherryef:
Noonski, I continue to be impressed by the well-thot out scheme. It is efficient and fast. It has taken a while to get the hang of things but, by jove, I think I've got it.

A couple of things I've noticed as I've played...

1. I personally find that it is more comfortable and natural for me to swipe down than across. This is likely just a personal preference, but I get a "crick in my thumb". LOL

2. More seriously, I have an issue with the "Contacts" soft key on the phone screen. If RapidAccess is already running in the background I get a blazing switch to that app. However, if it is not running a Mort new menu setup screen is goes up. (Set Entries, General Settings, Exit). I have the Contacts softkey on the Home screen set to launch RA and would like to do the same with the Phone screen.

3. From the NEW action screen: opening a new SMS lands you in the message field rather than the "To" field; opening a new email lands you in the "subject" field rather than "To".

4. The Program launcher on the HTC Today plugin is only able to be customized with newly installed programs. I wanted to replace a couple of the shortcuts for things that I access more frequently without having to go a couple of layers in.

5. I had some issues with "Set Volume." After installing a couple of apps, a soft reset resulted in a hang up which I eventually found to be an error message stating that file "'setvolume' cannot be opened. Either it does not have a trusted certif. or one of its components can't be found." I removed the programs I had installed and continued to have the issue so I did a hard reset and started over. System worked fine so I reinstalled the earlier apps (one at a time) and the issue has not re-occured. I can't duplicate it as of yet.

6. Is it just me? I can't get it to keep my SIP preference. It keeps reverting to the "keyboard".

Again, kudos!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
1. Indeed this is to personal to change.

2. Contacts menu setup up will be changed in next version so it is not the default to open as MScontacts. (testing now)

3. I will look into that, but when i used only the To command it would not open a mail..... So i added the command to go to subject.

I'll play with it while i relax in the bathroom.

4. Will be adressed/fixed once the Restore Shortcut Script is made.

5. Hmm not seen this one yet. But pure theory, check if any of the installed apps uses a settings.ini file in the windows folder?

6. SIP is now in My Nightly at home ;) So fixed.

Contacts and new.mbi go into windows\submenus

button3.mbi goes into Windows (might need to change properties first with Total comander.

Remove .txt extension.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] abinbasu:
Problems resolved-

hi Noonski & everyone this rom is indeed different & nice bt had a few bugs. but i hav been able to solve most of them manually by simple & easy changes. problems which hav been resolved are-

1. ActiveSync on the mortscript menu was not workin. i hav been able to get the working activesync incorporated in the mortscript menu.

2. Various Commmanager issues has been solved with the new fully functional commmanager provided by noonski.

3. found the voice commander & got it incorporated in the mortscript menu.

4. hav been able to solve the problem regarding the 'contacts' key on dialar & call status page & can go to the real contacts mortscript page with that key now.

5. KPS is not workin. i hav been able to find a way to asign the long press end/send/power keys to any application/mortscript page.

6. Problem regarding silencing the phone during an incoming has been resolved with Noonski's advice.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] nons1979:
Great product! Only two questions. Where do I find SIP changer and PPCPimBackup? And the importen one, why won't the Diamond Keybord work with Norwegian language? You can change langauge, but the keyboard picture gets black or scrachy.. Does it only work with english language?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] cherryef:
!Yup. The SIP selector works famously. great.

Addition of voicedial to the MS Contacts menu is good to go.

I look forward to the fix on the dialer "contacts" softkey.

Now something strange. RandomAccess has disappeared. Instead I am getting the standard 6.1 Outlook Contacts page (with only scroll bar down the side). When I look in the Windows directory RA is still there. Checking the softkey assignment & it still points to RA. And the MS Contacts button is the same. I don't think I changed a thing. Ideas?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Well the registry should look like this.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS]

"Default"=""

"1"="\Windows\RandomAccess.exe"

"0"="Contacts"

"2"=dword:00000001

"3"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113]

@="Contacts"

"Open"="\Windows\RandomAccess.exe"

But it could also be changing Menu >> Options inside the contacts app might revert it back.

Also sometimes killing the process from memory might help.

If the original Contacts app gets started through another application and stays open in memory, opening the RandomAccess.exe will result in still getting the default contacts app.

SIPChanger.exe in windows folder.

Or replace the button3.mbi with the one posted a few posts above.

You have to install the Norwegian cab.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2198376&postcount=2

Gullum made a Base which already has all the registry settings for all other languages, that's why all languages are showing in the settings.

I'm only using the English Base in the Rom (all languages gets mighty big)

After installing the cab and selecting norwegian itm should pop up.

But this is something i have not tested on all languages.

Hope to have a new Release Candidate next Sunday with all Fixes except 6.

(5 is going to take the longest, Doing it small steps at a time adding a few links every test flash)

And now....

The ancient technique called.

Swiping Tiger Hidden Spider....

Guaranteed to knock the shimmie out of your ELF/IN.

I have seen a good remark about the left and right swipes.

But if you practice this hidden move, you will become a true master of the Surface.

First practice.... With your Right Hand.

Swipe Up, Swipe Down, Swipe Up, Swipe Down.

Good that was easy.

Now

Swipe Left, Swipe Right, Swipe Left, Swipe Right, Swipe Left, Swipe Right.

Thumb getting tired yet from this awkward move?

Now think like the water, Don't force the swipe.

For the down swipe Place thumb a little high on the right of the screen.

Now Swipe horizontally to the left not making the angle to steep.

Aaaah feels much better doesn't it.

Now Place Thumb on bottom left of screen and do a same sort of diagonal up to the right.

Keep Practicing....

You will Quickly become a master of the ancient and deadly Thumb Flick.

Practice with the left hand is also recommended.

Who Ha, Those Pills my shrink gave me are starting to kick in again.

Everything back to normal, had a nice resting day.

On the RandomAccess/Contacts issue

It seemed to take a comb of things. The registry did not reflect your settings on HKLM so I changed that. On HKCU there was a small typo (only 1 backslash before "Windows"). Corrected that. Then I went into Contacts, Menu, Options and removed the tick on "show alphabetical index".

Thanks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Sorry about that, it wasn't a typo.

I copied the settings from a RGU file (file that get's imported to registry for seperate packages)

RGU files use a different syntax for the Folder paths where double slashes need to be used. So it prolly was just the unticking.

I have shamefully corrected my Cooking language to regular Registry language, as you can see i get confused somtimes ;)

More Bad News FIXED NIGHTLY BUILD

Only one tiny issue with a shortcut in Administrative tools, but that's already fixed for next version.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] mobix:
Came across an issue:

Goto "Pictures -> Picture Album -> Landscape/Portrait" the resulting screen heading is not shown properly [screenshot below]. On the same screen, there is a delay of around 10 seconds before any operation [like selecting a folder] can be performed on the screen.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
I can't reproduce that in the last build.

The Heading being wrong is a regular issue with the folder selection version of the album.

It's using a dll from a "certain" program. And that DLL file is looking for a MUI file which isn't in the package. I'm not sure anymore if adding that MUI resolved the heading or adding another DLL version, but i believe it had something to do with size.

So at the moment i have to write it of as an accepted side affect of this patched function.

But no folder selection delay here.

It was always already in the Rom\Windows folder.

But in te last nightly build it is also linked in the accessories menu.
