Well, the problem is not small on my side but the text became way too big that almost fill my screen. I only played with the sound icon in the HtcVolumeControl.dll a bit. For the rest, they were provided by all the other experts here. Maybe you can ask for their help.

Frankly speaking, the 3G signal have no use to me in Hong Kong since I will pick-up the "H" when in 3G mode or else, "E" and "G" will be showing.

No problem at all mate and please see the attachment. Apply it with care!

Sure, why not? But please remember to backup everything since different version may have different effect, I mean a hard reset...

yes, it's really not that difficult if you find the right way with it. I broke my diamond a few times and have to hard reset it. Glad that I have backup everything or else I will probally kill myself of doing all the reinstallation :D

Great! Can you please tell me which icon number should I deal with it so I can play with it more? Yes you are right since different version of the file may break your diamond and have to hard reset it...

Cheers!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] darklord69:
Have you unsign it before applying any chances to it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
the zip file is corrupt..

have a look at the txt file that the signner program creates in the same folder as the dll.. does it say successful?

its icon 4675, ordinal 32 (for me)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] LAGUNADUB:
hello darklord69 intereses I am by your icon start thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] zmob123:
Its acutually a rar file just change the extension, i changed it to zip to upload it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
uhh.. why not just zip it up?

anyway, signing it fails, so you must have forgotten to unsign the dll before editing it. get the original dll you edited, unsign it, then make your changes, and sign it again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] zmob123:
Cool I got it, thanks for the help
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] g.lamprou:
Have anyone the original htcvolume? I need it.!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mccune:
Delete the current DLL the original ROM version will be restored.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] g.lamprou:
Will see ... Thanx!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Seifer:
i have applied

sdkcerts.cab

HTCVolumeControl.dll

phcanOverbmp.dll

shellres.192.dll

FInix VGA Battery and Network Icons.reg

and my icons are very cool now thanx to you

But as seen in pictures Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Task Manager icons are still black and white. there was a bluetooth icon here but in a rom that could not be extracted. Hope we get fully TechniColor :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mkevin:
You could use one of attached - just extract them to Windows folder

I mean picture files not folder that it exist

(in archive about 8 versions in different folders)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Seifer:
installed Ver.2 and it looks awesome now. Thank you very much.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] zen1th:
sdkcerts.cab cannot be installed in my device.Can anyone share me another one :confused:.I've tried to overwrite the .dll and import .reg but still not done :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Daalgo:
Is there a fix for the White Battery Icons ? I dont want to change the network icons.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] davidebeatrice:
Hi guys...it's 3 days im trying to make my icons like these one...can someone tell me how to? possibly with a "tutorial" please?

sorry for my English...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mccune:
There is no bug concerning the white icons so there is no need for a fix. I've changed the green icon to white fom 100-30% power.

It's quite time consuming so I've decided not to create another CAB without the data icons.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Daalgo:
pity, but the icons look so ugly. Would have been the perfect solution for me ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mccune:
You can do it yourself very easily actually! Use ResHacker to open and edit the file. After chaning use a sign tool that's floating around here on XDA ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Rabangus:
I can change most things, but I can't update the battery icons to the new ones (yes, I am updating htcvolumecontrol.dll too). I've managed to replace the main volume icon with a blank icon (cos it is a waste of space), and that all works fine, but I want to replace mute and vibrate with the new icons. I can update and sign the dlls with the new icons, and make a cab to install (and yes, I am familiar with making cabs), but the cab won't install when I include the new icons - it simply says it cannot be installed and gives the choice of installing in another location.

If I copy the dlls to the windows folder manually and soft reset, all the icons go back to the default icons. :-(

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Gmes:
Help... i try to rename the phcanOverbmp.dll in windows. But it just make a new one.. and i cant delete the rename file..

In this prosses, the clock is wrong (easy to fix i think) but my Battery icon is gone (the orginal is back)

but how do i delete the rename fil? that is the biggest problem. I have try but it wont me do that
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TheDude1120:
yea im hoping for a dll with ALL COLOR icons, im still trying out how to changed the black n white icons on my s2u2 screen to color icons, if anybody knows, hellp? :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Rabangus:
I'm really going mad now. I have tried on and off for over a week now, but I can't get the new volume icons in. I have successfully managed to update a couple of the other icons (wifi and activesync), and changed the battery icons to how I like it (coloured at 1-35% and 100%, and white the rest of the time).

The main volume icon is intentionally left blank (which works fine, and I've made a cab file with that which installs no problem), but as soon as I try to add the mute and vibrate icons the cab no longer installs. If I copy the files to the windows folder manually instead and soft reset I am presented with original icons.

Attached are the dll files (which were signed successfully with Sign Tool). Is anyone who knows about these things able to take a look and let me know why I can't get these working? SDKcerts is installed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
read through this thread, the links to those icons are posted somewhere.

i have updated my icons again, changed the aerial to something i like better, and changed the charging icon as well. i have attached it below.

also, GMES sent me his HTCVolumeControl.dll file to change around, anyone having weird issues with their volume should try this one to see if it fixes your problems.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DevalB:
Weird...it doesn't work on a CDMA Diamond running the Juicy 2.5 ROM, unless I missed something.

I copied the CAB file into the memory and installed it via the File Explorer, and it installed properly, but did not change the battery icons.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TheDude1120:
i have modified my start icon inside the shellres.192 file, since this will replace the original one, wont i loose my custom start icon? I still want the start icon, but i just need the network icon
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
i dont know anything about juicy's ROM, but from previous posts it sounds like juicy's does muck around with the battery icon settings, so i wouldn't expect too much from this mod if you run juicy's ROM.

yep. if you want both, just edit mine, grab my icon, and put it into yours.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TheDude1120:
umm i dont know how to do that lol, if i upload my icon file and or the pic can your possibly help me because the last time i changed my icon it didnt work, everything said it was signed and all,but never worked but can u please help??

heres the icon and the pic, dunno which you need?

i just love the color network icons !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TheDude1120:
and also has anybody made any bluetooth icons? these black and white ones are ugly as hell
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
that's a different file to the one i attached.. i'm not entirely sure how the shellres and the mui files work, but have you tried putting both in? they won't overwrite each other cos they have different file names.. just depends on if one takes precedence, or if they merge.

have you looked here?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TheDude1120:
I see the bluetooth icons , but how do i use these since they are bmp ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
just copy them into your windows folder on your device.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Gmes:
omniwolf:

Thanks.... it work.. Now i have my old ring volume / system text, as it was orginal. and i have the new icon in FInixNOver,

Now everything is perfect.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Gmes:
Just do as omniwolf say,, it look great. I have V2 now. and it is nice..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] afterburn:
Nice omni. I need to get used to the new charge icon, but you definitely fixed my volumecontrol problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
you can just use the previous dll if you dont like the charge icon.. it's the only thing that's changed in the latest phcanoverbmp file.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] afterburn:
I know, I am debating with myself. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] afterburn:

well guys...im trying to make a set of personal icons, but after modding the dlls files and coping in windows folder no changes...

ive installed the sdkcerts, then the reg key and copied the dlls.

ive make any mistake?

can someone help me please?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Chef Ben:
+1 I am having the same problem. I can set my alarm and it works but there is no way to turn it off. I have to soft-reset to turn it off.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TheDude1120:
ok, blue tooth icons work, but is there somewhere i can download message notification icons, edge icons and etc? still have a few black and white icons that i want in color
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Gmes:
anyone have a nice Wifi icon?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Seifer:
well i am looking for icons too to make my icons colored. Hope someone with desing capabilities can look in to it. will be much appreciated by me and lots of other users. we still have more connection and other icons black&white.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Rongara:
I installed it on my diamond with official 1.93 rom.

my problem is: i don't get it working. installed it with cab and performed softreset, but I still get the original battery icon, but always "full" - even if my battery is nearly empty.

can anyone help? I read over the last posts, but didn't recognize anyone with that problem :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DevalB:
yeah I'm having a similar problem as well!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DevalB:
yeah I saw that...I was hoping it would work, since the Juicy's rom screen shots showed a similar icon for the battery
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DevalB:
Well I guess I'm an idiot...once you install both the sdkcerts.cab and FInexN.cab, and soft reset it, it works great.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Rongara:
I have both installed, but still just the usual icon :(

Not sure, but may this relate to Spb Pocket Plus?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TheDude1120:
where the hell are the icons coming from tho? hell ill resize them if thats all you have to do :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kooled:
I assume the problem comes from the "3G" icon itself, since other network icons posted here don't have this problem (including screenshots I attached below)

I had a lot of icons i wanted to change, but it seems that we can't replace a lot of them, else i can't sign the dll anymore, and the installation fails. For instance, i could only change 4/5 icons in shellres.192.dll. But it might come from my rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
i was wondering when/if that was gonna come back and bite me. I've fixed it here.

yeah it was my laziness around the 3G icon. i have put in transparency now so it should be fixed. anyone who uses a black background for the top bar won't need this update.

where did you get your icons from? can you link the activesync one and the wifi one (or even just post the dll)? they look nice i'd like to use them.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TheDude1120:
are you making these icons? where are your getting them from?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
a couple of them i made, most of them i just found on the internet and edited to the right size and transparency and stuff.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kooled:
Same as omniwolf, finding some PNG or icons from other programs or dlls, removing background/applying some transparency

by the way, here is my current battery "skin"

and some other icons (screenshots here)

shellres.192.apps contains the Windows Orb & signal icons

while battery/charging icons, activesync, wifi, E/G/3G/H orb icons are included in phCanOverBmp.dll
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] brins0:
This is so cute it's almost... too cute... a bit of a shame about the charging icon not matching the rest of the set. Maybe a blue orb would suit charging better?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] zmob123:
I can't figure out two things:

1. The battery indicator always shows tghe wrong percentage from the actual charge amount.

2. Shellres.dll dont change icons at all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TheDude1120:
for some strange reason my signal icon wont change even after i installed the shellres cab :confused: and i do have a custom start icon .
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] zmob123:
If I can get the shellres to work, I've put together some awsome Icon sets that I want to get up, but I cant get the battery to work, and when I replace shell res it gets rid of all icons except for the wolume icon
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
haha i like your battery icons.. they made me laugh. i'm going to stick with mine though, i like exact percentages. to get your battery icons working properly you'll have to edit the registry though, as the phone is expecting 100 different icons for battery charge levels, and you're only giving it 10 or so. check out the reg file that is in the first post, one of the entries determines the number of icons expected.

with shellres.192.dll not working.. as far as i can tell many of the icons there are ignored and overwritten by other resource dll's, for example heaps of the icons in shellres.192.dll are also in the phcanoverbmp.dll file, and the shellres.192.dll ones are just ignored. my guess is that if some of your shellres.192.dll icons are working fine, and some of them are being ignored, there's another resource dll somehwere that's overwriting those shellres.192.dll icons.. you just gotta find it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
mm i've found a bunch of the windows vista sync'ing icon's, which i've put in and they look pretty cool.

also fixed up transparency on the H icon
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] shonan70:
ok my signal icon did not work too then i actually realize i use shellres.192.dll.0409.mui instead of shellres.192.dll so for those of u who didn't work pls chk which files ur using.

alternatively u can DL mine if u like it but just remember u got to have shellres.192.dll.0409.mui in windows folder b4 u can use mine to overwrite having said that u will also loose ur start icon and be replaced by my rainbow apple aswell

Screen Shot
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kooled:
Indeed if you have a shellres.192.dll.LANG.mui, (LANG = 0409 for en/us, 040C for fr, etc...), it will prevail upon shellres.192.dll

I did not have much time to finish the battery icon set so i put the first charging battery icon i found, but this week end i'll try to make a blue one
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Dynomite232:
what about the speaker icon this dont work on mine i installed the can everything else worked awsome and looks great thanx for sharing any idea with the volume icon
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] davidebeatrice:
please...

someone can post the dll files but "unlocked"? or how to "unlock"? i explain: when i try to modding the icon in the dll files i can't cause the size (ie 32x32) it's ok but the bit are 8 instead 1 so pe explorer dont allow to change...

thx and sorry for my english...:)

cab

Could some one be kindly to make a cab to run that would permit to have without to many things to have the modified icons (whichever there are they look better than original)?:o

Guys, what a thread!

Thanks for the original battery icons, I've been using them since I got my Diamond.

Today I updated the sound icons, and it looks great (manual approach).

Next I will start fiddling with the rest of the icons :)

Thanks for all the effort guys!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] uniqueboy:
Well I sorta read a lot of this thread, and I'm sure I skipped past the answer to this question but now I can't seem to find it again. I know it has been answered already so I apologise for thread pollution. The question is why having tried for a couple of hours now and installed a load of icons and certs and reg imports etc do the nice new icons flash up during re-boot and then wave bye bye to leave me looking at the ugly old ones again. I'm sure it's something simple but then so am I. :)

Edit, It would be cool to have a definitive guide for this with the resources in the Wiki.

Edit2/: Not sure why, but I put all the files I wanted in a .cab installed it and now all the icons are permanent! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Daalgo:
is it so much work ? :P

would be soooooooooooooooooooo nice your white percentage icons without touching the network icons ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
you need to unsign the dll before you try and put your custom icons in. also if pe explorer doesn't work try the reshacker app linked on the first page, it works fine.

try renaming the original shellres.192.dll file first before copying in the new one.

the original tutorial on the first post is still the same method that works. some people have problems copying in the new dll's once you've already done it once, and the method to fix that which seems to always work is to just rename the original dll before copying in the new one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] shonan70:

I'm sorry to say, but I removed this awsome tool from my Diamond. If you or anyone else finds a solution, please post it! Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
have you guys tried installing it without the cab? using the instructions on the first page?

in any case, i'd suggest you try and run the reg file again, after you install the cab. if you have fancy ROM's then that could also be why.. seems some of the ROM's much around with the battery icons.

i would have no problem posting my icons and screenshots and instructions, but like everything else it would just get lost in the posts. i'll try and get in contact with FInixNOver to do some cleanup.

Great icon...works fine on my ROM...Now I'm looking a way to disable the clock. It can be disabled only in the TF3D screen, as soon as you open an application or screen, the battery icon is gone and the clock returns...and I love that batt icon:)

Network icons are those in zip format, battery icon is cab file;)

It´s very nice work n had no probs with installation on my ROM, but battery shows 19% instead of it´s full - got it only few minutes so can´t say if it change:rolleyes:
