[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] baxtex:
Why has OPO dumped their own OOS caller for Google phones app?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
Google Dialer is superior. Probably the reason.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] baxtex:
Is it? It probably phones home quite a lot though.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] sansanc:
The contacts app, totally sucks. It's the most unreadable app out there. The sms app, looks too stuffed for a simple sms app. Avoid. And yes, the probablity of them to phone home is high.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mentallo:
It plays the full 15 sec when a notification turns on the screen but when I double tap to turn it on it only plays for 5 sec. I've tried different ones and used my own.

Anybody know of a reason or fix for this.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] gravija:
There really is no way to officially extend the lockscreen screen on time.

There is a workaround though.

Open Settings.

Tap Advanced Features

Tap Motion and Gestures.

Enable to the toggle to "Keep Screen on While Viewing."

Pretty much, this will keep yer screen on as long as you are looking at it... All the time. But the screen will resume its normal screen off function when you turn away.

Hope this kind of helps
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GalliKO:
Hi everybody,

at the end a contribute of mine... ;) Hope you will find interesting.

I finally find out what is needed to change both the Title and the Icon in the main WM6 taskbar. You can see attached my mod with no text and Htc green arrow icon. I'm building up a guided procedue to act if I find you really interested and if moderator finds it legal :confused:. For the moment I can only suggest you that you have to modify shellres.192.dll in order to change the Icon (icon numbers 292/293) and shellres.dll.xxxx.mui in order to change the Start text (xxxx is localization code i.e. 0410 for Italy!).

Let me know what do you think about it and then I'll go on with the suggestions!

Cheers!

Guided Procedure:

---------------------------

What you need:

1 ROM Extractor for WM

2 Res Hacker

3 Siggner (attached)

4 Resco Explorer/Total Commander

5 You can change the Start Title editing the shellres.dll.xxxx.mui at the string table resource number 321

6 You can change the Icon editing the shellres.192.dll file at the Icon Resource number 292/293 (Icon must be 21x21)

First of all you have to extract those two files from \Windows folder of your device. Those file are blocked because ROM so you need the freeware ROMExtractor to copy them from \Windows to the internal storage folder. Then you can copy them on your PC hard-drive to manipulate. !!Keep them safe because they are your original ones!!

To edit them you absolutely need the freeware Res Hacker. Open the files with it and edit the resource as you want. Save. Normally ResHacker make an original copy of the file. If not, be sure to keep safe your originals!

When you save your changes, the dlls lose their integrity and you absolutelly must sign them again to let your device accepts as originals.

Use attached Mssigner to act like that.

If txt log says succeded (not the application, you have to check the txt file to verify if it's succeded!) now you are ready to copy those files back to yor \windows on the device. Use Resco Explorer o Total Commander to do that.

Overwrite when you're asked.

Soft Reset...

Is everything all right!!?

When you'll become confortable with the proc you will probably be able to edit a lot more of Windows resource and customize your system!

Let me know your tries, guys!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] charly_mx:
that is very nice. I haad never liked those letters, however i would like to keep the windows logo.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mandragore:
Nice! Because I use WkTASKchange, the application icons in the taskbar let me know what is running, but they also cover the focused application title. That looks bad. So, I'd like to remove the application title in the taskbar. Without changing the Start icon, if possible. Although it sure is nice to change that as well :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] darnelhouston:
how do i change the "start" text? where do i get images (ie ".ico") to replace the original windows icon( preferably a black logo of windows)?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] frederikk:
Not connected to the post.. but do you use wktask successfully on your diamond ? I cannot manage to hide a task called demarrage... even with no process i have a process windows near to the start menu...

It can be cool to hide the start menu if it helps to put more things in the task bar :)

Ciao

Fred
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mandragore:
Sorry for the off topic.. Yes, WkTASK Manager works fine. I've excluded manila.exe, repllog.exe and HTCActionScreen.exe, through the Preferences - Excluded tab, for instance. Not familiar with your demarrage process though..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] weenween:
Wonderful. Why don't you tell us exactly how to do it? Would really appreciate it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Teppic24:
Especially if you can make it like the Vista start button. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] blabla123123:
please tell us how to do it, would really like to change Start in something else
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Sergio PC:
Thats a nice idea:)

Or something like this:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fluid888:
What size does the icon need to have? and does it have to be a .ico or can it be any image?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GalliKO:
I hope the most answers are on the first post!

Wait for your replies!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wired69:
BRICKED!

Well, that didn't go too well! :mad:

The first attempt resulted in a bricked phone, I had to hard reset as it wouldn't boot. The second attempt I was a bit more careful but now all my icons appear messed up (in File Explorer folders and files are books and message icons, no start icon at all etc.).

I'm a bit confused by the instructions, firstly, in shellres.192.dll, if I export icon 292 with Res Hacker it is 41x36. If I have a look at Icon Group 4609 it is listed as a 41x41 icon. I know you mentioned it should be 21x21 but this doesn't seem right, I would have expected 32x32!

Anyway, I tried from scratch using a 21x21 icon and it still messes up all my icons. I think I will leave it for now until someone makes an App or Cab file.

I am using SwiftBL v7 ROM by the way
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GalliKO:
Mmm... Strange...

Since I found out the trick it's my 10/12nd attemp to change icons and texts and everytime it worked fine!!

Anyway, her you are some information (Look the attachment):

- I'm on official rom 1.93.408 ITA (the htc official latest one)

- after a lot of succesfully changes on my device I can absolutely say that icon must be 32x23 16M colors and the right icon is number 292.

I will take some time to understand what's the difference on your ROM...

Let's keep in touch...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] blabla123123:
isnt there an easy way to change them letters? :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] WatskeBart:
I noticed the same issue's as wired69 did.

But in your instructions you say that the icon size has to be 21x21 but later you post and i quote:

If so could you please update your instructions.

Do you only have to change icon number 292 or both 292/293? That was a bit confusing to.

Hoping you will help.

P.S. Which certificate do you use for the signing part because the .mui signes just fine but the .dll does not.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] johanromijn:
You can read HERE how to change your icon.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] WatskeBart:
Thanks for pointing this thread.

Thumbs UP :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] charly_mx:
Indeed my friend!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vphk:
Bricked, but solved now !

Hello,

when I had two times bricked my diamond after signing and installing new mui file, I found, where the problem was.

I removed "Start" text from menu for better view of WkTask, then I signed file with mssigner. When I copied new mui to windows folder, my diamond became a brick :O The main problem was in missing SDKCert.cab. Because when you are signing with SDK certs edited mui, you have to install SDKCerts.

Now it looks for my needs, screenshot included.

Bye
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lucag:
There is no a cab for change the icon start ?:rolleyes:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] darnelhouston:
i can't edit "shellres.dll.xxxx.mui"....whenever i open it with reshack, it says "This is not a Win32 executable file"........how can i change the "Start" title? Is it possible? Help. thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vphk:
Hello, I attached shellres.dll.0409.mui - without "Start" text. I also attached original file, but in this time I cannot find way to replace the file twice (uninstall new dll). I think it is possible, but cannot find a way ...

WARNING: you cannot uninstall this, only HW reset makes "Start" menu with "Start" again.

WARNING: if you forgot install SDKCerts.cab, Diamond will not boot (Bricked :O) and only HW reset perform normal operation

1) copy sdkcerts.cab to pocketpc (internal storage)

2) install sdkcerts (run cab)

3) copy shellres.dll.0409.mui to pocketpc (internal storage)

4) run Total Commander

5) copy shellres.dll.0409.mui to \windows

6) soft reset

The patched file is only for english locale.

I have ROM 1.93.

I have also attached original shellres.dll.0409.mui, maybe someone will find way to replace patched dll with origiinal one (if you want to uninstall)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 001mic:
kk, thanks for your work...

what do i have to change for german locale?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bbju:
Wow, it's a scary thing to do....

But anyway, for german locale, you need to find out the code (e.g. 0409, 040C, etc). One way to do it is to use ROMextractor (search the forum, you will find it) and look for the shell.res.dell.####.mui file where #### is the german locale code (e.g. English locale is 0409 and French is 040C, I guess).

Just that you are in ROMExtractor, make a backup of the file (just in case, nobody knows what will happen). And then download the "no start" dll file (shellres.dll.0409.mui) from the post up above you. Rename the file by replacing "0409" with #### you found from your own dll. And put it back in /Windows folder. And the rest of the instruction from the post above you. Soft reset and pray :-).

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] darklord69:
I tried a few times and finally successfully changed the start icon and removed the text:D

I found that the icon size MUST be 41x36 (32-bit color depth with 8-bit alpha channel). Only have to replace either the icon that found in "Icon/292" or in "Icon group/4609" (acutally they are just the same):)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] uniqueboy:
Hi all, I have made cab from vphk's shellres.dll.0409.mui - without "Start" text file, first I nstalled the SDKcerts cab. then my cab, then no more start text, very easy. Not tried to un-install yet but I can't see why it wouldn't.

Remember only for UK locale roms and you could brick your phone. I am using Dutty's rom and it installed perfect 1st time. :)

[L Speed] RyanCr7:
Device: Realme X

ROM: Pixel Experience (completely stable)

Android Version: 11

Kernel: Close to stock (nothing fancy, no bugs. Been using it for half a year now)

LSpeed version: 2.5.1.2

• I remember enabling almost all the power-saving features for GPU and CPU.

• I like multitasking so LMK was set to very light

• Didn't write any values by myself.

• Tried to restart the phone 15 minutes after enabling all the tweaks and the phone didn't restart.

• No recovery, No bootloader, button combos didn't work. Couldn't see the device popping up on ADB and normally on my laptop.

• Sent the device to customer service and they sent it back with stock firmware.

@Paget96 sir,

It was completely unexpected so I'm sorry I couldn't help you with the logs. I could maybe recreate the event but afraid I'm gonna have to send it to customer service again.

I used LSpeed for a long time when it first came out and I liked it. My viewpoint is still the same. I didn't tweak the kernel before using LSpeed and there were no other mods installed.

It might be a problem I created myself somehow but still putting it here for you to check out if something's wrong.

Thank you
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Kylewolf:
Really my main hangup with the phone, curious if I should wait until a temp root solution comes out so I can back up what will be lost.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
there is no solution as for xperia 1 and 1 mark 2 also to back up drm keys.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] qduckq:
If someone does an unlock, can they please report which DRM features will be lost?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Kylewolf:
I thought the mk2 had a temp root solution where you could back up the drm, and restore once the bootloader was unlocked.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
Not only the mk2 also the mk1 just relock the bootloader and repair with xperia companion
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Kylewolf:
I'm confused, you said there was no solution, but then that there is a solution for both?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
Nothing confused about it.. You ask if there is a way to back up DRM KEYS the answer is no but you can repair them when you relock the bootloader and repair with xperia companion.. Thats the only way.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Kylewolf:
Ah OK, will the phone stay rooted after relocking the bootloader? I assume this still voids the warranty?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
No because you repaired it with xperia companion so all back to basic amd dunno about the warrenty.

How To Change The Noble Rom 1.3

I Can't flashing Also Stock Firmware....

ANY IDEA TO CHANGE THE ROM
[General Topics] kopite100:
Hello, I hope someone can help!

We have an application running on a variety of Windows Mobile devices linking to an office program via UDP over the 02 GPRS network. This has been running fine on over 1000 devices for the past 3 years until 20/09/08 when the data reception has become intermittent/unreliable. 02 claim not to have changed anything at their end and we know of other companies still running on 02 so it must be possible!

What we need is for someone on a voluntary / one-off fee basis to look at our code and identify the issue so that we can make any necessary changes.

Hopefully someone out there can help us? Obviously time is really of the essence too :)

Try flashing stock filmware with Odin, this has fixed it for me in the past. Just bare in mind that you can't flash older filmware than what is already on the phone so you are probably best to flash the latest.

Finally got it done! Flashing went smooth (didn't do update to Android 11 stock, flashed straight on top of custom A10 ROM), root and setup smooth, all main features are working fine; even Revolut and google pay are fine :-) Thank You!

The only problem is Google camera, it refuses to launch :-( I did try play store version, did try moded one with same result - back to home screen with no time… Should GCam work on this rom? Default camera app is working OK.

Been using this for a few days with Mindthegapps and everything works so far except the camera, but PX Camera does work. Wifi calling, VoLTE, bluetooth, google pay all work. Magisk passes SafetyNet. The only minor issues I've found are:

When I first tried to change the statusbar clock to center aligned, it disappeared. Tried again later and it worked, so not sure what happened.

I am running dark theme with Base Theme, QS Style, and Notifications all set to Gray. The notifications on the lock screen are still black... however if I swipe them down a few pixels, they turn gray.

Loving the extra customization this has coming from DU, going to be the new daily driver.

It would be nice to have a separate download for the boot.img so we don't have to extract it on every update, but not a big deal.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Siluxsept:
Thanks for using AICP. :)

So far I have no solution for PlayStore GCam crashes. Still investigating.. Please use PX or any other working GCam mod for now.

Statusbar clock alignment should be fixed afaik. Check with current weekly build.

Black / gray lockscreen color change i just reproduced myself. Weird.. Thx for reporting this, gonna check it out with our theming guy.

It is not required to extract boot.img from payload on every update:

- Install OTA from AICP Extras (it will install in inactive slot)

- Do not reboot after OTA installation, instead go to Magisk Manager Install section and select "install in inactive slot"

- Procedure verified with last 2 OTA updates and working fine (y)
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SilentDenizen:
why can't you just provide the boot.img? I would rather not install python just for this one purpose.

[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] walmartshopper:
Been using this rom since the beginning and dirty flashing all the updates. Started having some freezing issues and eventually bootloop on the latest build so I decided to factory reset. It fixed all my issues.

However I was using a 6x6 unlock pattern before with Google backup turned on. After the clean flash, I tried restoring from the backup. It asked for my unlock pattern to decrypt the backup, but it only offered a 3x3 pattern. So I was not able to restore the backup and had to redo everything. I think that's more on the Gapps side rather than the rom, but just a warning to anyone using more than 3x3 dots unlock pattern.
