Can you help me on change the Start icon and the word "start" for Atom LIfe WM6 (Rom from 02 website?) I just did a hard reset. After replacing both of the shellres files, the device got stuck at Windows screen.

I still have my old PDA2k with WM6 so I tried on it first. It worked without any problem. However, I couldn't say the same when I tried on my Atom Life. I thought I just bought myself an expensive brick.

I used the same instructions (QVGA), the same shellres.96.dll.0409.mui from wapvirus (Thank you)

Any ideas? Thanks

help with wait cursor

Hi guys

Had no success following steps stated in this post. The problem is that the installation of the Marshall skin doesn't change anything on my WM6.1, so that I haven't the famous .mui needed. In fact, my dll's are different. I modified the start icon after finding it in shellres.192.dll It works!!! But now I would like to identify the wait cursor icons in order to modify them, but I cannot see them into any dll. Any suggestion? I extracted the whole shellres files from windows, but no way to find these icons.

Many thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sadko1:
I solve my problem

Hi, i hope help another

In my case the problem is that all file "shellres.96.dll.****.mui" in this thread asume the windows´s icon are in the folder ICON/288 and ICON/289 but in my case (again) the windows´s icon are in ICON/157 an ICON/158 (folder in shellres.96.dll)

I solve the next way:

- extract shellres.96.dll from my rom with ROMExtractor

- i put in the PC and unsinger wiht UNSINGER

- open file with RESHACKER

- change icon with "Action/Replace Icon" , Icon 4609 with 21x18 and Icon 4617 with 16x16

- Save

- Singer with MSSINGER

- put the file in shelres.96.dll.****.mui in /windows/ on device

- soft reset

and Enjoy,:)

Having issues

Phone - HTC Touch Pro

Here is what I am doing..

I am copying my file from the windows directory. It is shellres.192.dll.****.mui

I copy it to my PC. I then unsigned it.

I used IconFX to create an icon. I used the "windows Red" that someone posted for qvga. I resized it to 41x41.

I then used reshack and went to the very bottom and found 4906 (I think that is the right number, I am at work right now) and replaced the icon I have now with the new one I created. Saved the file.

I then resigned it, it showed successful in the text file.

I copy it back to my device and click to overwright the existing file, but it says I cannot copy it.

Any ideas?

Also, when using reshack, ther are two spots that show my windows icon, 4906 is one and I forget the other. Do I need to replace both?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] lardo5150:
ok, I figured it out, but my start icon is blurry.

I saved it as a 41x41, then 16x16.

Still blurry.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Key gradients

OK. This is slightly off topic, though I think it applies enough to the subject to be included with this thread.

Out of curiosity, has anyone managed to change the softkey and start menu button press gradients? I have searched and searched, but everything I tried has failed (maybe the combination's I tried simply didn't work, I don't know). What I'm referring to is the circled gradient in the picture below.

I'm using WM5 flat bars, and maybe that is causing an issue. I'm not sure. However, I cannot find where this color is specifically defined. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

*Note: the ROM pictured is [22 November] -G- ROM's | JADE | D3D | v7.1 [OS 20931] | (",) by -G- (garmin) for the Kaiser it can be found here:

The start text is contained in another file (shellres96.dll.... I think). Just out of curiosity, how are you copying the file in \Windows? (ActiveSync, File Explorer, Resco, etc...)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kancrutt:
i use Resco to copying the file

btw thanx for ur response :cool:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] egzthunder1:
Transfer the file via ActiveSync. I have tried using Resco and even though I have seen people successfully doing it, I have not. AS is the only method that has worked for me. Give it a shot and see if that works...

hi m using wm5 atom black.im frm india.wat code shud i choose.how do i get to know d code.my fone is english language.jus wanna change d start icon.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] egzthunder1:
I am not sure that I fully understand the code that you are talking about. If it is the number in the mui file and if your phone is WWE, the code should be 0409. Hopefully, this is what you were asking.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] J@S:
i installed icon demarrers cab n den put d 0409.mui file in windows n did soft reset but nothing hapnd,wat do i do?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] egzthunder1:
I can only think of two things: a) you are using something other than ActiveSync to place the file in the \Windows directory; and b) that the cab doesn't work for WM5.

If it is the latter, try to place the mui by hand (without the cab that is). Just follow the original instructions on how to do this in the first post. Cabs have a tendency to not be backward compatible, mainly because of changes in the registry from windows version to windows version...

Hope this helps.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] egzthunder1:
Why are you trying to get the mui from your phone? You should be trying to copy from your computer into your \Windows folder on your phone (drag and drop from desktop from phone). There are a bunch of already-made mui files in this thread, so my suggestion would be for you to try one of those and see if it works. You can always modify these files (change the icon to your liking). There is absolutely no need for you to take that file out of your phone.

Thanks for this.

I have one question, I am using Garmins rom on my Kaiser and he has custom icons(for apps in the rom like contacts, calendar, ...). After apllying the steps it changed these icons and also it changed the rotating "thing" in the middle of the screen that appears when the phone is working.

Is it because the installation of the certificates?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Madremiha:
@Jonas savimbi Your qtek g100 is a pda not a pdaphone; i think it's that the problem, the shellres file contains a lot of icon of windows mobile as status phone and other surely your shellres file is not the same

Look into /windows what sort of shellres file you have

@Jsanta11 Use resco explorer i think this resolve your problem

@wysepro "step by step"...what do you want to do? if you want to create your own icon you have just to take one of the shellres file which is in first post then follow the steps.(use reshacker on your pc)

@Mikulek Garmin have modified all (or a lot of) the graphics files you are in shellres.96.dll so if you want just change the start icon

You must erase the shellres.96.dll.****.mui you have put in /windows then soft reset.

And extract your shellres.96.dll file and follow the How-to then rename your file as shellres.96.dll.****.mui and put it in /windows

If you want on of the icon from first post there is the .ico file in the folders.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] JonasSavimbi:
Thanks a lot for your help Madremiha.

The only shellres file in my Windows folder is "shellresapps.96.dll"

Do you think that if i rename "shellres.96.dll.0409.mui" to shellresapps.96.dll.0409.mui it'll work?

Thanks!

PS: I've tried it and it doesn't work... I'm out of ideas here
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mikulec:
Thanks for the info. I have no problem with that, I just wanted to know if that was the case or something else.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Madremiha:
:confused: I don't understand. :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mikulec:
I just wanted to know if the icons changed because I changed the start icon, or if I messed something up and the change of the icons has nothing to do with changing the start icon.

Anyone have step by step procedures, rather then steps for people who know what they are doing?

Hmmm i dont have that file, but have start and all other taskbar icons installed, Also ty for the help

Am i missing a cab file?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] KMFM$:
No. You will have to copy this file from your device. Or you can download/dump a shipped ROM that has the file for your ROM version.

[Example, if your ROM is CE OS 5.2.19971 (build 19971), then you can download the Opal ship ROM, dump it, and look in the SYS\OS folder and use that one. Though, you will probably have to use recmod.exe to change it to a usable file.]

I got ResHacker. But when I open the shellres.... files, there is no text in any string called 321. Is this device dependent? The instructions I found were for a TouchPro and I have a Diamond.

I did it! changed my start text. after bricking my phone three times-I finally got it right. I have a HTC Touch Pro-nobody really explained it to me like I was a two year old-so I decided to break it down. You have to be careful or you will freeze up the phone and then be forced to hard reset. That sucks. So this worked for me.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Section9:
The file you are looking for should be: shellres.dll.0409.mui

Once opened with Reshacker, 'String Table' > '321' > expand the value > under '1033'

I will post mine. You can change Section 9 to anything you want.

Then you need to 'compile' and 'save'

Finally, you will need to sign the file, before putting it into \\device\windows.
