Start Text

So I've changed quite a few icons in the taskbar, including a custom start icon....However the instructions for changing the text "Start" do not work for me. I do not have the string table 321 in shellres.192.dll.0409.mui. The only string table listed is 1143. Not sure where this value is located on my phone. I've read this entire thread as well as a few others and this problem has not seem to have come up before:( Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance

May I have the Water Element icon for VGA? I looked for that image on Google with no luck. If you want, you can just send me the PNG so I can do it myself.

Disregard that, I'm a moron. Found it in this post here.

Edit 2:

The person who made the VGA version didn't make it transparent. If you could get me the original PNG, that would be awesome. In the meantime, I'll either try to add transparency into the one already made, and/or just use the Kubuntu icon.

Edit 3:

Changed the icon to the Kubuntu logo.

Here's the file, signed: Kubuntu start icon ( VGA, 0409 )

I'm going to work on adding transparency to the VGA water element icon either tonight or tomorrow.

Edit 4:

Made the Water Element icon transparent.

( VGA, 0409 ) Water Element

[Windows Mobile Software Development] dioxda2:
Hi :)

1. Try copy & paste with " Total Commander" with "hide files in ROM" option selected,

2. Don't use default file explorer,

3. if you are trying to overwrite the previously pasted xxx.dll file, you should rename it to xxx.dl before pasting ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DanRo80:
I have never changed anything in the registry before, could I have a more detailed explanation?

I am also having this trouble with trying to pull this file to edit the "Start" text. I use TC and tried the suggestion of "hide files in Rom" still same error. Also I try to copy the file to a location that has nothing in it yet it still says it already exsist.

Can't copy dll's

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere already, but I can't find any info anywhere!

I'm just starting out with this and looking to create my own set of icons, starting of with a simple Start menu icon, but I've stumbled at the first hurdle. I have been trying to copy "shellres.192.dll.0409.mui" or "shellres.192.dll" to my SD card, but neither Total Commander or Resco Explorer will copy the files, both giving 'access denied' errors.

I do have the WM6.5 stock dll's that I downloaded (from somewhere...) but I've got tsowentaskbar6 WM6.5 version.cab installed, so I was assuming that by copying out the correct .dll's on my device I could use this as a base and add my own edits.

I've got an HD2 if that makes a difference! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

----

Ah - I think I know why! I was trying to copy files that were stored in ROM. I simply copied over the shellres.192.dll, found that this contained tsowen's updated icons and edited the Start icon accordingly. I now have a very nice version of the attached as my Start icon in honour of my 300ZX TT :D

[Windows Mobile Software Development] anuar134:
Sorry if this have been answered but I a little bit lost here...

to change the "start", I install the .cab file, and copy the shellres.dll.040c.mui(b4 that I rename to 0409) into window folder, but appeared "be certain that there is enough free storage memory, that the destination is not write-protected and that the file is not currently in use."

I try others ways by rename different name --> shellres.dll.040c.mui, and paste into window folder, then rename to --> shellres.dll.0409.mui, then soft reset....its appeared to change the "start" to "HTC"(item I want)....seems like I successfull, but unfortunately, all the word change to france...weird...:confused:

have any1 facing same problem?

Thanks.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] atsushiboy:
Hello I`m Japanese and I use a Japanese Smartphone called "Advanced/W-ZERO3［es]"(Windows mobile 6.1 Classic)

I installed the "Icone demarrer.cab", soft reseted,

copied the "shellres.96.dll.0411.mui" to my Windows folder,soft reseted

but it didn`t work.

Does this method not work on foreign Windows mobile??

The file I had in my Windows folder was called "shellresapps.96.dll".

So I renamed the file to "shellresapps.96.dll.0411.mui", but still no luck.:(

I tried to make my own .mui with this file but the file was locked and I couldn`t copy nor move it.

By the way there was another file named "shellresapps.192.dll", and "shellresapps.dll.0411.mui" on my system.

They were also locked and I couldn`t copy them.

Darn these localized OS:mad:

Any solutions please?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Uppy:
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I've done wrong?

i used ROM extractor, I unsigned shellres.96.dll i replaced the start button, i saved and resigned the dll, I install sdkcert.cab and replaced shellres.96.dll and this is what i end up with:

here is the dll:

shellres.96.dll

This dll is from a HTC Touch 2

As you can see, the start icon is missing completely and my signal bar displays "!" despite me being in a strong signal area.

Someone please download the dll and see what I've dont wrong?

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Langetek:
For some reason I can't copy any files in my windows folder :mad:

I select the file, copy, go to my windows folder, but then I can't paste them. I don't get an error message, but the option "paste" in the menu isn't even there, everytime I try this :mad: doesn't matter what file I choose

And the windows folder isn't viewed when I'm using my pc to look on the HD of my Toch 2 (WM 6,5)? :confused:

isn't that weird?

And there is no shellres.xx.dll file in my windows map, only 'shellresapps.96.dll'.

so what now?

I've ready most of this topic (and searched other regarding WM 6,5), but I didn't find an answer. Can someone help me with this one?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] raghu13uk:
Hi Uppy,

I think you have to use the dll of QVGA which is named like "shellres.96.dll.0409.mui" (By the screen capture I believe, you have a QVGA phone.)

Hi Langtek,

Did you use the Total Commander to copy the file back to Windows? The default File Explorer doesn't work in this case.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rjl319:
no shellres.dll.0409

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?

I managed to change my icon for the start menu but now my cursor has changed, anyone experience this or know how i can change it back?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mikulec:
Me too, but I like it. U can change the cursor via some program. Give me a minute and I will tell u which one.

Edit: Its here.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kaneelias:
Yer i am aware of that one but it does not have the cursor, that i originally had, thanks for trying
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wapvirus:
Ok if you read the first post the start Icon is in the same dll as the wait cursor the if you want to keep your original wait cursor you must extract your own shelres.96.xxxx.dll from the windows folder i used resco explorer.

(The xxxx must be set to your country mine uk/us 0409 thus my file is shelres.96.0409.dll.mui)

NOTE:if you already have a M&M wait cursor installed then you will allready have a shelres.96xxxx.dll in your windows folder

Create an icon in 21x18 then save as .ico file (32bits)

Take "shellres.96.dll.****.mui" file

Open it in Reshacker and go to "Icon group/4609

Clic on Action/Replace Icon/Open new file

Insert your new icon, clic replace.

Save your modified file.

Open Mssigner,search your shellres file, clic Start sign Process

a window appear "Process finished!" then go where is your shellres file, a text file has been created ( "Warning: This file is signed, but not time stamped,Succeeded" )

First time install the Certificate cab

Now paste the Modified shelres.96.xxxx.dll into your windows folder and your done !

If you download the one you like the 21x18 icon files are supplied

NOTE: If you need to change back just delete the shelres.96.xxxx.dll you created from the windows folder soft reset and your done ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kaneelias:
Wow, thats a bit complex but thanks for your reply, very helpful.

I have a few questions though i hope you can answer,

So the icon i put in was the clear windows logo, so that has the vista cursor built in with it?

I deleted my original shelres.96.xxxx.dll so i will have to try and get an original and extract the icon (the cursor i originally had) and repackage it into the .dll as per your instructions, is that about right?

What is the original file, is it a .dll or a .dll.mui by original i mean before using the certificates.cab

Also, can anyone suggest how i can delete or rename or move the .dll everytime i try i get an error stating there is a sharing violation
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Madremiha:
The Original file is named shellres.96.dll

The certificate "tell to windows" to take the .mui file first

So if you install a file named shellres.96.dll.****.mui it's prioritary

So if you want to keep your original wait cursor extract from /windows the shellres.96.dll file modify it and rename as shellres.96.dll.****.mui.

(If you can extract your shellres.96.dll try to copy it on storage card with Resco explorer then copy on pc)

All is in the How-to.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] [germany]merlot:
Thank you for the tutorial.

Now I have changed the start icon once but it doesn't suite to my design so tried to change it again. But when I copy the shell96... to my device I get the message that it isn't connected. And when I try to delete right on the device it tells me that the file is used by another process. So my question is how can I change the icon again?

Thanks, merlot
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Madremiha:
Are you sure you have rename the file as shellres.96.dll. ****.mui ? Do you do the manipulation with Resco ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] [germany]merlot:
Yes I'm sure. I renamed the file to shellres.96.dll.0407.mui for Germany O2. And yes I do the changes with Resco Explorer.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Csquared:
After some trial and error I have been able to get this to work with no problems. Im somewhat new to this so I thought I would post what I did because I know some people had a hard time understanding how to get this done.

1. Installed Marshall Waitcursor

2. Soft reset

3. Installed Certificate Cab from post#5

4. Soft reset

5. Downloaded Madremiha's start icons from post#1. (make sure you get the right ones)

6. Unzip the "shellres.96.dll.****.mui" found in the folder of the icon you like.

7. Place in /Windows (I used Total Commander)

8. Soft reset

Thats it.

Marshall Waitcursor can be found here

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Madremiha:
I never had this problem maybe try to rename then erase...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Madremiha:
@Csquared

On my Touch i had installed a Marshall skin and it's as that worked at start then i did it with the reg key and works too, and on my Prophet i have just installed the reg key and works fine.

Maybe it's differents on some device.

If other has this problem and resolve it with install Marshall Wait cursor skin i'll had to first post ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Csquared:
Maybe I just did it wrong before installing Marshall WC. :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Madremiha:

Have you installed the .cab?

Then grab the icon packs at the start of the thread, find the one you like open it and there will be a file called shellres96.dll****.mui (or like that), just paste it in the windows directory of your ppc and soft reset

thats it

Are you using an English Rom, if so make sure you get the US icons

[Windows Mobile Software Development] kaneelias:

sorry you said you moved the cab to your phone, did you run it?

have to ask
[Windows Mobile Software Development] MRFERRARI23:
yes i dled the cab to my phone an installed it.

no i didnt do anything with the one that was already in the windows directory i tried to add the one of the icon that i wanted to use but it wouldnt allow me to paste it in there
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kaneelias:
try adding .mui to the end of the one already in the windows folder, i did that and the one in windows became shellres.96.dll****.mui.mui thus allowing me to paste the new one in

if that doesn't work, get the trial copy of resco explorer as that has the ability to force the replacement of stubborn filed
[Windows Mobile Software Development] MRFERRARI23:
you did this without the use of anything an just went into the windows folder and renamed the file that was in there???? this stuffs harder then peeps let onor am i slow? lol
