Hi All

I am starting this thread to publish all the resources I use or have made to customise my HTC Rhodium. The idea is that ROM chefs can use these to customise their ROMs but that they can be used to customise a device after flashing.

The first publication is a set of icon libraries that I have compiled using Icons previously published on this forum. Firstly, I would like to say that I put no work into the graphics of these icons. All I have done is convert them from image files into .ico files and from .ico files into icon libraries in .dll format.

OK, the icons are the ones published by billyJ in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=546881

He based his icons on the iReflect icon set published by bluemetalaxe in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=533993

I would like to emphasise that both billyJ and bluemetalaxe put a lot of work into these icons so they take 99% of the credit for this resource.

I've attached a screenshot of how these icons look in practice:

To download the icon libraries go here:

https://cid-ac854080db1a552d.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA Developers files/Icon Libraries.rar

If you want to put them into your ROM you simply need to ensure all your start menu shortcuts relate to the icon or folder .dlls.

If you want to use these resources to cusomise your device after a ROM flash you will need to copy the relevant files to somewhere on your device. In my case the root of the storage card but you can put them on the root of the device memory, or even the Windows folder (which is where they will end up if they're cooked in). You then need to edit your start menu shortcuts with something like Total Commander PPC.

Within each .dll each icon has a different index number and you change the icon displayed by adding the following string to the end of the .lnk file:

?\My Documents\Icon.dll,-4

In this case the .dll file is called Icon.dll and has been copied into the My Documents folder on the main device memory and the index of the icon to be displayed is 4. I've exported my start menu into a .zip file which is attached to help demonstrate how this works in practice.

Check out the "Start Menu Customisation" thread in my signature to understand how to change the start menu folder icons.

Cheers

CommManager MOD

Hi all

First off, this will only work on a WWE ROM with the stock Rhodium CommManager installed.

I've managed to successfully add two additional functions to the CommManager. It's working as follows:

Airplane Mode: Working as default settings.

Phone: Working as default settings.

Bluetooth: Working as default settings.

Wi-Fi: Working as default settings.

Microsoft Direct Push: Working as default settings.

Data Disconnection: Working as default settings.

3G (New): Switch fully working. Row Area Mapped to "\CMBandSwitching.exe".

Internet Sharing (New): Switch opens Microsoft Internet Sharing UI. Row area mapped to "\Windows\CMInternetSharing.exe". Switch changes to indicate HTC Internet Sharing connected.

Instructions:

Obviously if you're cooking a ROM you'll either need to merge my modification with the OEM package of the Stock CommManager or create a separate OEM package with the files in the .zip file attached.

If you are customising your device after a flash; in the .zip file attached there are two registy entry files as well as four image files.

1) Close Comm Manager

2) Back up the following registry Keys and all their containing vaules: [HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager] & [HKLM\Software\OEM\UTMS]

3) Import the registry entries into your phone's registry from CommManager.reg and UTMS.reg in the .zip file attached.

4) Copy the four image files into the \Windows\ folder of your device. N.B it is not recommended to copy them directly from your computer to the windows directory, but to your storage card first.

5) Soft reset your device.

Original registry entries for HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager attached.

Comfortaa font substitution

Hi all

First of all I need to credit aajohan from deviant art for the Comfortaa font:

http://aajohan.deviantart.com/art/Comfortaa-font-105395949

I really like the comfortaa font that GODZON listed on his TF3D + Windows fonts thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=471604

However, the cab file only changed one of the TF3D fonts and I had some trouble changing the other. Anyway, here is where I have got to (There is a larger screen shot attached):

I've managed to change all the fonts, both system fonts and all the TF3D fonts. However, I would like the title font in TF3D to be Comfortaa Thin, which is proving to be difficult. To change your fonts to Comfortaa you need to copy the attached font files into two respective folders. They are sorted into these folders in the .zip file but just in case:

Font substitution now in .cab installer, thanks to starmans. Cab file attached.

Place the following files directly into your \Windows\ folder:

1) HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin.ttf

2) HelveticaNeueOTS.ttf

3) tahoma.ttf

4) tahomebd.ttf

Place the following files into your \Windows\Fonts\ folder:

1) Comfortaa Bold.ttf

2) Comfortaa Regular.ttf

3) Comfortaa Thin.ttf

4) ZZ.TTF

Soft reset and when you restart your device you should have Comfortaa system and TF3D fonts. It is worth noting that if you do not have a \Fonts\ folder in your windows folder you do not need to copy these last four fonts to your device (unless you want Comfortaa available in MS Office). However, if you do not copy them, one of your TF3D fonts may change if you install software that uses its own custom fonts. For me Bible reading software did this as it uses special fonts for greek and hebrew.

To uninstall the font:

1) Rename the copied font files' extensions in Total Commander PPC to .ttt, do for example "tahoma.ttf" becomes "tahoma.ttt".

2) Soft reset the device.

3) Delete the .ttt files.

I'm having problems attaching files to this post so I've uploaded the files to my Skydrive folder here:

I've uploaded a HD Wall cab file. The additional graphics files and S2U2 theme file in a .zip archive as well as the 12 manila files in a .rar archive. For some reason when I try to download files from Skydrive it downloads them with an underscore _ at the beginning and end of the file name which need to be removed.

If you just want the wallpapers install the .cab file on your device. If you want the additional graphics you should copy animated.gif and welcomehead.192.png into the \Windows folder and implement the Green Glow.s2u2 file from the S2U2 settings dialogue under "Theme".

Floating Dots

Hi all

Here is my latest customisation. It's based on this image:

http://stratification.deviantart.com/art/Floating-Dots-74063890

It's a HTC Sense 2.1 skin created using HD Wall. There are four varieties:

1) WM 6.1

2) WM 6.1 CFC

3) WM 6.5

4) WM 6.5 CFC

All of these cabs are for HTC Sense 2.1. As well as changing all wallpapers within M3D they change the standard homescreen, the WM6.5 lockscreen as well as making the bottom slider and clock background transparent. WM 6.5 files skin the top and bottom bars.

I have included the four cab files as well as all the files that are included in them in a folder. The files can be downloaded here:

Single Icon DLL Template

Hi Andrew,

your icons really rock! However, I would really like to use one DLL per Icon (with SK Shortcut Manager). I've searched the forum and the web and didn't find one single solution that works to produce DLL's that get recognized by SK Shortcut Manager... :(

I've tried BeCyIconGrabber, Microangelo & VBCE Icons Tool. All of them could not generate a DLL that is recognized by SK Shortcut Manager. Your DLLs -> no problem.

Could you please-please-please give me a hint or (even better) upload a template DLL containing exactly one icon?

Thanks a lot!

Single Icon DLL Template

Hi Andrew,

thanks for the tip, I tried IcoFX and I really like it. Unfortunately, I was not able to accomplish making one DLL containing exactly one icon for use with SK... :( I (think) I tried everything. Even making a ICL file and renaming it to DLL...

How did you generate you e.g. Office-DLL? Could you generate one template with only one icon? You would save my weekend!

Thank you & Greetings from Vienna!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] andrew-in-woking:
Tools -> Resource Editor

Hi Griechenland

1) Save my .dll files to a location on your computer, e.g. Documents or Desktop.

2) Open IconFX and in the menu select "Tools and then" "Resource Editor..."

3) In the dialogue box that opens select the open button which is the normal opening folder icon second in from the left.

4) Browse to the folder where you saved the icon libraries and select the one which contains the icon you want to use.

5) You should now see a number of icons in the dialogue box with a number below them. Go through each icon you don't want, right click on it and select "Delete", until you are just left with one icon.

6) Click on the "Close" button on the bottom right of the dialogue box and you will ask if you want to save your icon library.

7) Select "Yes" and you should get a message to say successfully saved.

Your original icon library will be renamed to Office.dll.bak, for example, and your new one will be saved as Office.dll where Office.dll was the original name of your icon library so if you have deleted all but the Pocket Word icons from the library you would want to rename the new icon library, Office.dll to Word.dll and Office.dll.bak back to Office.dll.

Hope that helps

Start screen changes

How on Earth did you get your Start screen to have folders that then obviously open sub folders of app icons?

I hate the new TP2 navigation... used to use SPB PocketPlus on a TyTnII, but don't seem to have any facility on the TP2 to customise the Start page, let alone add sub-pages.

I have loads of apps, and want to organise them into related pages like you have done.

Where do i ned to hack the registry?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] andrew-in-woking:
Registry

Hi TyTanIc

Edit the following registry entries:

HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\X

Where X= the number relating to the start menu item you want to edit. In these keys you have the following values:

Command - use this for command pramaters for the executable

DispName - The title of the start menu item

IconPath - The path to the icon resource, can be an HTC .qtc file or an index of an icon in a .exe or .dll file.

IsReadOnly - Defines whether or not the menu item can be edited via the start menu itself.

Path - The path of the executable or the folder you want to display with the start menu item. Where you write a path, e.g. \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Multimedia\ This will display the links in that folder.

Hope that helps. There are other tutorials much better than this on the forum but I don't have time to search for them right now.

Hey Andy

Got one question here. Still nobody answered...

How to change to 'same wallpaper on all tabs' ?

ON NRG 'Photon' Oct 7 released ? (Manila 2.1)

Can I change the Today's tab wallpaper ?

I know I can change it to a picture wallpaper,

BUT what about 'wallpaper on all tabs?

>>> I tried...but didn't work. I tried the CAB file from 'HD wall CAB collection',

I tried to change the registry...didn't work. <<< (also many of your CAB)

Do I missed some thing here? :confused:

Any suggestion?

Hi what150

The new Sense 2.1 works differently to the old Manila 2.1 (with no weather clock) so the cabs designed for Manila 2.1 will not work with Sense 2.1, as in the Photon ROM. I am having the same issues with At0mAng's ROM, Manila 2.1 files crash Sense 2.1.

Homescreen non-flip Clock?

As much as I like every cooked ROM I've run... I miss the original homescreen clock that came on my T-Mobile USA TP2. Unlike most others, it was not a (simulated) flipclock -- the number-display just changed to the next number like any other digital clock, without simulated motion.

Has anyone seen a cab to put the TMoUSA stock clock (or similar non-flip-clock) in place of the homescreen clock found in various manila 2.1 WM6.5 cooked roms?

Or maybe just tell me that such a thing is not possible?

I've already searched on "stock clock" and "tmo clock", and didn't see an answer that helped. I hope this isn't off-topic for this thread...or if it is that someone can redirect me rather than just flaming me...:)

I then started the Hd walls program on the device and navigated to where i had put the cab. Clicked ok on the folder and a pic of the wallpaper came up and i selected "set wallpaper" and it worked.

I was having problems with my icons been too big no matter what after a while but i never really read the instructions so ill have to read them through properly. I had too pics, one landscape and one portrait, and it worked really well with the full screen weather. I kept trying different settings as well, different manilla versions.

I dont have the rom now, ive flashed the official htc 6.5 europe that was out yesterday but that as 2.1 sense so ill try on that and let you know.
