this is a REALLY nice mod, thanks for the work, I had looked at the vga page and was wondering hos hard it would be to port to qvga, but I'm just damn lazy and with a wife and kids now, I don't have free time like I used to..

I've installed all this, and everything worked out beautifully, but the signal strength is still the white icon, I noticed theres a shellres.96.0409.mui in the windows directory, will this cause the problem I'm seeing? I was also wondering where the htcvolumecontrol.dll went?

thanks

pat

<edit-snip> yup.. the mui file needs to be changed too. nevermind. I figured it out. thanks anyways.</edit-snip>

Hi Tane71

I have Installed the .dll , all icons work fine, except the battery icon. The battery icons shows only one red bar (not clear of the % numbers) but the battery is actually fully charged (100%). Is it the registry setting [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\ResOver\Bitmaps].

Merci.

Edited 19-01-09

Reinstalled the .cab file from post #1. Now everything works OK. The battery icon is OK. I think if the number can be made thinner (not bold), maybe use "Arial Narrow" it will be clearer and easier to read.

Merci.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tane71:
Hi azahidi,

First: install one of the cab you want on the first page (it changes the registry string to activate the special battery meter),

2nd: (not necessary) replace the file phcanoverbpm.dll by another one you like

Hope this will work, tell me.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tane71:
If it doesn't work, it could be about your local zone. Verify your appropriate code/area file by checking name in your windows folder and with this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1368984&postcount=2

Try to change only the value in the filename (i.e. "shellres.96.dll.040C.mui" by "shellres.192.dll.0409.mui").

[EDIT] Have also a look here for explanations about "192" and "96" code file names: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=426264 or try this (open with mortscript) : http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=117856&d=1222880328

[EDIT2] To reverse installation and go back to your previous (original) taskbar: uninstall the cab and restart your device. If it doesn't fully reverse the installation, try to delete ONLY the MUI file that corresponds to the DLL you replaced (ex.: if you replace the shellres.96.dll, then delete ONLY the shellres.96.dll.040C.mui). Then, edit your registry settings to go back to your original values (see 1st post) and restart your device. If you replace the phcanOverbmp.dll file, then rename it to "phacanOverbmp.sav" (there isn't any MUI file that corresponds to this one) and restart your device (it will generate another "proper" one).

[EDIT3] If none of the previous works, install the "untouched" file that you will find in the original post here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=437307

Speaker Icon

I like the speaker icon on this

and I copied the HTCVolumeControl.dll to /Windows directory and then soft reset but the speaker display still the same as in post1.

Any suggestion?

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Is the speaker icon part of phcanoverbmp.dll that was installed when I run the "Arthemus Taskbar_QVGA_V2.cab"?

I say this because there is no HTCVolumeControl.dll initially on /Windows directory.

I'm running WM6.1 with M2D.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] azahidi:
Speaker icon is part of HTCVolumeControl.dll. (read post #1 carefully)

Since you used HTCVolumeControl.dll from post #1, of course the icons are like in post #1.

You must use HTCVolumeControl.dll that has speaker icons that you loke. OR edit it and change it yourself (only 3 icons).

HTCvolumeControl.dll is usefull only if you get a HTC device. If not, the volume icons are parts of phcanOverbmp.dll
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] krazy_about_technology:
^^ A correction buddy, it not that all the HTC devices will have the HTCVolumeControl.dll, its only with newer devices like the Touch Viva. In short if on clicking your volume icon, a full screen volume control appears, you have HTCVolumeControl.dll. If thats not the case, the default small Windows Mobile's volume control will apear which looks like the one that appears on Windows XP on PC.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] azahidi:
G 3G H and E change by itself

This is what I figured out after some observations.

1) As Tane71 said it happened during switching of radio band, but not all the time. There's no definitive pattern. Sometimes the signal changes in area A and sometimes in area B. Not time dependant

2) When it happens, it uses the band icons (G, 3G, E and H) from tapres.96.dll

3) When you invoke data connection, the icons from phcanoverbmp.dll come back.

However, there's no solution yet.

What was the solution ? For the benefit of others.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sile87:
ohh i forgot about it.. :p

don't know why, but the it seems that the sgkcerts.cab and others was auto uninstalled from the device. I'm sure I've installed them at first, and then replaced the files in /windows.

Cleaned up the Registry, re-installed sgkcerts.cab; Arthemus taskbar.cab. replaced the .dll files again in /windows, sofreset. Voila finally done!
