Hi

I know that the folder icons are store in the FolderIcon.dll and pointing to it via the icon.ink file will cause the folder icon to change.

Question is how to view this FolderIcon.dll file such that it will display all the icons within the file. So that I can know which number is associated to which image

for example FolderIcons.dll,-8884 is associated with image of a folder with tools

Also, how to change the program icons?

Thanks

Yea i know there are alot of these threads so heres another.

My current phone the G1 is starting to break down so im looking for a new phone. I'm considering the Touch Pro2, Touch HD, Hero, and the Toshiba TG01. I have never used a windows mobile device before with the G1 being my first by HTC. I'm willing to try it as long as it has been prettied up some(TouchFlo or Stripes).

If you have either the Touch Pro2 or the Touch HD can you give me your experiences with them.
[General Questions and Answers] Monty Burns:
HTC in my experience is awefull build quality. After owning four diferent models I have vowed never to own one again. Shame really, apart from the poor camera selection they are designed really well ..... just a shame they fall to bits.

Out of your list, would have to be TG01.

Have you looked at the new Omnia II's? (not the Omnia HD) Theres a full on Iphone/HD lookie-likely and two keyboard models, one a TP2 type and one a blackberry type.

Don't forget the Acer M900 (which is what I currently use) and the more pocket friendly F900.

I had windows mobile and even though preference is a matter of perspective.... windows might be a step in the wrong direction. Back when I had it windows was ahead of its time... but now it seems like its standing still ... like its been stagnant for the last 3 yrs I haven't seen any major differences...from android to winmo is going Back to resistive touch screens... with not so finger friendly gestures because the screens tend to not pick up on the motion... I would really love to see MS step it up and release a new os or 7.0 which I hope makes a major difference. Dont get me wrong for business i would only use winmo or BB... but at this point Android just seems like a wiser choice... its not an ancient OS that will probably bore you quickly. All the phones sound great ... if you want break down and comparisons then go to infosyncworld.com ... they rate the phones for you.
[General Questions and Answers] typo:
As somebody who's an advocate of Windows Mobile, my honest opinion is that now isn't a good time to buy a WinMo phone at all, especially not for the first time. The only people I would recommend the current batch of WM phones to are people who already use WM, don't want to learn a different system, and REALLY need a new device.

Here's why: Windows Mobile 6 has a real learning curve, and coming from Android you're probably going to find yourself frustrated at a lot of the inconsistencies and complications. Further, WM7 is already on the horizon and I think we'll be getting our first real peeks at it before the year is out. It should be a massive, fundamental overhaul to the way WM works. There's a lot of unanswered questions right now, ESPECIALLY whether WM7 apps will work on WM6 devices and whether it will be possible to upgrade any current WM6 or 6.5 devices to 7. If not, it's possible that application support for WM6 devices might grind to a halt within a year.

If I were in your boots, I'd try to hold on to that G1 as long as you can. By October or November, I think we'll have a better view of the future of WM and it'll be easier to see whether WM will serve your needs going forward.

Now, all this is completely moot if you're rolling in enough dough to just buy a new phone whenever you feel like it. If so, feel free to buy whatever you like. :)
[General Questions and Answers] wizern23:
Wouldn't all of these phones be able to upgrade to winmo 7 anyway. I really dont care about having to learn how to use windows mobile. Im more interested in the devices themself. My main concern is switching to a device with out a keyboard.
[General Questions and Answers] typo:
Well, that's the problem: we just don't know yet. A lot of people here seem to take it for granted that WM7 will be as "open" as WM6 in terms of porting and the like, but comments from MS make me a lot less confident -- it sounds like WM7 might have much more specific hardware requirements that will keep it from being run on older models. It's POSSIBLE WM7 will be able to be put on, say, a Touch Pro 2, but it's not a foregone conclusion.

All signs point to WM7 being a major upgrade (keep in mind that WM7 has been in development since 6.1 dropped if not longer), and I think it's going to be really disappointing to be stuck with 6.5 once 7 hits.

But if you're looking to roll the dice, the Touch Pro 2 looks like a great phone UNLESS you want to use it as a media player. Lack of a 3.5mm jack is a serious weakness there.
[General Questions and Answers] wizern23:
yea the 3.5mm jack is a necessity b/c i planned on getting the Motorola S9s or something along that line to use because all of those except the hero are huge or heavy
[General Questions and Answers] Bulldog:
I personally don’t believe that WM7 will be ready early 2010. It might take until 2011 that we see any WM7device.

TP2 seams currently best HTC choice if you need keyboard. However frankly speaking after having 2 HTC devices (Hermes and Kaiser) with slide keyboards I am not very confident about the durability (quality) of HTC hardware. Both of the devices had after short time issues with the rails and tilt mechanism.

Just recently I went to a shop to have look on the TP2 and the keyboard rails and the tilt seams same crap as previous devices. You can also read many complain in the TP2 section about screen wobbling. Touch HD has a very nice large screen (love large screens) but it is 1 year old technology and performance wise it did not satisfied many people. Furthermore as you are from USA you would need Australian version to able to use in American 3G. But the Device cost still after 1 year some 800-900$

My personal favoured are currently the Samsung Omnia II/i800 and Samsung Omnia II pro (b7610) Specs on the paper and the current reviews are indicating that those are under best devices on the market. Furthermore Samsung has almost entirely covered with additional software the aged WinMo operation platform. Further positive point is the Price. Both Samsung devices are about 100-200 USD cheaper then HTC devices even though they have better CPU; Camera etc.
[General Questions and Answers] typo:
I agree with Bulldog -- the Omnia II devices look really excellent. I like the design of the TP2 better, but I trust Samsung's build quality more and, feature-wise, it's fantastic.
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:
Yes but you have to add that with omnia or any other you´ll not have the support of this great site!

That for me is an added value to consider before buying:cool:
[General Questions and Answers] Monty Burns:
Yes you do. This site offers Winmob o/s and Winmob App support to all. If you want cooked roms, look no further than omnia.modaco.com where there are plenty! My Omnia (original one) is currently running a great cooked rom of WM 6.5

Lets also not forget the AMOLED screen either on the new Omnias. I really regret buying my Acer M900, not because its crap - its not - but the new Samsungs look simply stunning. And if you factor in the success of the Omnia, widely regarded as the best Winmob all-rounder, the new Omnias should be spanking! :)

Hi guys, what's the best custom GSM ROM to use for HTC Touch Pro? Should i use WM 6.1 or WM 6.5?? Is this one good coz it seems a bit outdated:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=454906

I just wanna find a good custom ROM that gives a lot of battery life and performance. And no bugs at all. Please recommend one.

EDIT: Also, since i'm not sure which ROM to use atm, i'm still sticking to the stock rom. But I find the signal kinda weak on my fone and was advised to upgrade the radio rom or something......from what i know, i have to install HardSPL first be4 flashing the radio rom, so i have 2 questions.

If i install HardSPL, does that hardreset my device? Will i lose everything or does it just install on the device and that's it?

And same with the radio rom, can i simply install it without hardresetting the device or anything related to it? I found this topic here and it seems i just need to install the cab file, is that it?

I like EnergyROM. It's 6.5 too. In my opinion, 6.5 is much better than 6.1.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=536751
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] chaoscreater:
thanks for ur reply, how is the battery and overall performance of ur fone compare to using the stock rom?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jdwrrzmm:
The battery is fine as ROMs go. I'm a heavy texter and it usually gets me through 12 hours. I hear EnergyROM uses a tad more power than other ones but I haven't really noticed.

The performance is fantastic. It's fast and responsive and I've tried several other roms. A few 6.1 ones like Elite RC 2 and 3 and a lot of the 6.5 roms and this is my favorite. Seriously, my only two gripes with it are than the messages act buggy sometimes and that my MMS doesn't work but that is a T-Mobile specific problem.

I didn't even answer your main question. The stock rom (if you have AT&T) SUCKS. It was unusable in my opinion. This is leagues above it. The stock ROM's interface would just lag everywhere. It's been so long since I've had it (and I only had the stock on for like 2 days) I can't really answer the battery life part. Flashing to a new ROM is totally worth it.

And if you flash a new radio you keep your phone exactly how it was.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] chaoscreater:
i bought my HTC Touch Pro from Taiwan and the performance is quite ok to me, the TouchFlo 3D etc are fine, i just have the issue with the battery problem, it lasts barely a day for me and i have to recharge all over again whereas my old phone (SE W950i) can use up to like 4 days straight......also, i have the problem with the signal since when i'm at Uni, whenever i tried sending a SMS, it often fails and pisses me off.

Just a couple of questions....

1. when u said ur fone lasts 12 hrs a day on average, wat do u normally use ur fone for? Do u just txt? Or do u use Wifi and play music etc as well? Coz i mostly use my fone for txt and the battery drains like crazy.......

2. How can i flash a new radio without installing HardSPL, which basically hard resets my fone? Do i use CustomRUU? Coz i don't know how to use it, i'm a total newb at this since i've only just got my first WM fone a while ago.....

EDIT:

Ok i'm getting really confused. After reading through some important notes from Energy's topic which you have linked me, I am just fully lost right now by this line:

3. "If your radio does not match your rilphone.dll you can get crazy bad battery drainage. Make sure they match. There is a separate thread for that."

So what do I do? Do i first flash the radio rom and then copy the rilphone.dll (which has to match the radio rom) to somewhere on the phone? Or do i simply install the rom??

4. I live in New Zealand, any New Zealanders can recommend the best radio rom for me? My provider is Vodafone NZ

5. And also, since my phone is bought from Taiwan, i am able to input chinese on the hardware keyboard and i use chinese when i txt friends sometimes. I know there are programs like CE Star but those use the software keyboard, is there a way i can still use my hardware keyboard to input chinese?

6. After updating to a custom rom, will i still be able to install hotfix or updates for the official rom? I.e can i still install the updates/hotfixes i download from the official HTC website and apply them to the custom rom?

PS: Sorry for the amount of questions.

I installed a software that caused the phone to get stuck at the green windows boot screen.

-Insert the battery again.

-Press and hold the UP volume key.

-After that follow the on screen instructions and...VOILA!

well the little room after flash is probably due to the sdcard NOT setup right... I had that build before and the before and so on and the space I had every time was 84mb free after boot and YES the appstosd on this build is automatic. The sdcard should have the fat32 partition first and then the ext2 partition 2nd. To setup the partitions I would NOT use ubuntu .. I ran into mounting issues with gparted .. I have had NO issues with the sdsplit found here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3582509&postcount=52

set the 2 partitions first and then setup the linux-swap partition using ubuntu .. I had mine inbetween the fat32 and the ext2 .. and YES you NEED the swap partition in the 2.7.4 build as it no longer uses swapper.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andonnguyen:
Goodbye to 80% of the members then lol. just keeding. I think people just need to learn how to read the first post of each thread they read. I recommend setting min/max cpu freq to 528, and having linux-swap of 32MB at 20 swappiness. @ demoyo, make sure you have your partitions at the least in this order:

FAT32/EXT3

or if you want a linux-swap:

FAT32/EXT3 (1.5GB or less) /Linux-Swap (32 to 64MB)

The 20MB free internal memory is signaling that your apps to sd isn't working properly, which probably mean you didn't partition your sdcard correctly.

You don't use the Swapper app anymore. As long as you have a linux-swap partition done correctly it is automatic. You can however change the swappiness settings in /system/bin/a2sd (it is the number in echo 30 > ...)

Ideally you need an ext and linux-swap partitions, but if you don't want to for whatever reason you can just install the "Swapper" app from the market. A linux-swap partition is much better but this is the next best thing.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diceman4:
Well said. ANother note is that if you are using the stock 1gb card then you will not notice much speed improvement no matter what you do because of having such a slow SD card. I would not recommend and thing less than a class 4 (Class 6 is the fastest).

If you plan on staying with the stock card you should probably look into another ROM.
[G1 General] Strapt:
I have tested the rooting of the G1 with the CRC1 update (with my boss`s phone :) ) He accidently got the update and installed it yesterday on his non-rooted G1 and while we were at work tonight we flashed it back down to the RC29 with NO troubles at all ... only thing left to do was download the spl and the recovery image and type telnetd, download telnet connect to local host, and run some script... which all should work just fine since it did let us downgrade. I havent seen anyone here or on google that has tried that yet so I wanted to let everyone know it will let you downgrade to the lower version.

Now if you have a rooted phone and install the update .. you will more than likely loose the root .... but you should be able to get root back by re-rooting the phone and going with a non CRC version until a modified image comes out.

OK we finished the rooting today and it flashed with the new ROM and everything. It now is on the JF1.51MOD with the updated radio.

[G1 General] lbcoder:
There was never any question of it.

The only firmware known to be easily rooted is RC29.

Downgrading to RC29 is completely independent of what firmware version is actually ON the device -- it is strictly related to SPL version. Since CRC1 is an OS update and NOT an SPL update, it can't possibly have any affect on whether or not you can downgrade to RC29, hence it definitely CAN still be rooted when CRC1 is installed.
