How come not all folders or programs appear in the registry? For example Tools folder and messaging does not appear just to name a few? Ive had this issue with most roms from beginning of November 2009.

This program has become almost usless for me because of this, as most of the folders and apps are not appearing anymore on new custom roms.:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
thanks a lot for all your concerns, comments, feedbacks.. last year was so extremely busy in our company and am not able to do my personal projects.. but this year, would be pretty much have a free time and that means fixing codes for WinMoApp.

See you guys tonight. (it's 10:59AM here in +8)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
2.1b is ready for download. Please check post #1 and get the CAB there.

please let me know if the Folder problem solved. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
installing new version

quick question- i all ready am using th first version. if i update to 2.1 will i loose all the work i did in first version? (i.e. i manually sorted every folder to be in alphabetical since the program sees the names as "maincpl.23, maincpl.06" instead of their actual names) if i install 2.1 will my settings stay the same?

btw- thanks. it is a great little app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
quick answer:

yep :) your settings will stay the same
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
sorry- but is that a "yep" they will stay the same. Or a "yep" i will have to start all over. (I guess my question was not as quick as your answer)

thanks for the very fast reply.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
thank you.

Hi

Anyone has this experience - icon changed in Start Menu, but not on Sense UI quick link? May I know how can I resolve it??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRXed:
It's a known bug:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRXed:
Not entirely true!!

My HOME screen was moved to the bottom! Had to sort it again.

And also, the icon of Home was changed to the default icon.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Hi Nullstring

Great program, thank you :)

Suggestion: caching the icon folder to make the process run faster.

Waiting for your future improvements, keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
sure thing! thanks!

actually, am done on caching the icons and done with sorting the icons
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0k0m0k0:
playing with the app and it is a very nice!

and im sure that the theme feature you announced will be very cool for skinners... and then for users ;)

at last i have some very nice icons now... thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
hey, thanks! yes the theming feature will be perfect!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Hi nullstring

I'm trying to understand how icon changer works ;):

1 uninstalling doesn't revert to original icons

2 moving the target icon folder does

Where are the changes stored ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
hi @tito12

first of all, Icon Changer doesn't have the feature to save the changes made by user.. so there's no way to revert it automatically, reverting it manually is the only thing you could for now. there's a plan for IconChanger, as mentioned in the very first post.. Theming -- so you can Save/Load your customization: Icon Images, Icon Position, and even the Selection Image!

am not sure if I understand your #2 confusion.

"moving the target icon folder does" ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
HI

I mean that moving or changing the name of the target icon folder brings back the original icons
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
have you tried soft-reset? after the customization, you have to soft-reset the device to view the changes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Sorry

I'm not telling there's a problem :), everything works fine, I was only experimenting and wanted to know where are the changes made by your app stored.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
well, I appreciate that. technically, if you want to.. you can check the registry :)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\startinfo\start
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
That's exactly what I was looking for!

In this case that could be the way to keep the settings in case I need a hard reset or flash another rom.

Thank you very much Nullstring :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KilZone:
It's normal behavior, since the key will change... If an item is not in any subfolder the registry key will look like this:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\startinfo\start\Shortcut.lnk

Once you move it into any folder it will change to this:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\startinfo\start\FolderName\Shortcut.lnk

However if you move the icon by a program (file explorer, or icon changer) Windows will automatically create a new string on load of the start menu, which has no icon property in it!

-- Suggestion --

So I think it would be nice if Icon Changer is capable of detecting the 'key' of an icon and move it accordingly, shouldn't be too hard since 90% of the code is in place!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] biernes_atrece:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hmmhmm1222:
great app! i have a suggestion for the next version ;) something that could make you organize your shortcuts into different folders would be the ultimate thing , dont know if you can do that but it would be a great feature to your snappy app.

Great job!

Hi

Rename which icon? The application we wish to attached a customised icon picture file? Or the customised icon picture file name?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
thanks for that info. appreciate it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRXed:
Appearantly, after EVERY soft reset, the Home (Today) icon is at the bottom of the list again! And it then also has the default icon again!

:(:(

This is a bug that was not in 1.9

Also, when browsing manually to change an icon, the icons are listed and ordered on Date. Is this on purpose? I would like it to order them on Filename, but it does not keep that setting when you close Icon Changer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRXed:
Rename the customised icon picture file name :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sian:
I didn't use the icon design for the application. It's just something I think it's suitable. So, it should not be the same name.

Also, when I went in to App. Data, there is no cache of the application I've added to my quick link. Any idea why? I've created a shortcut to this application in the Window/Start Menu. This application is just a exe file which was not installed on the device. Any impact?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Urokinase:
Hi.

Really nice App. Thx for this. I have one problem. In some Folders i dont see the Icon Name. The Icons have strange names. I made a photo from my Problem. Perhaps somebody can help me .

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
yes about that, cplmains until now, I can't find a way to get the applet name in C#. So my only option is to name this using conditions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
what's your point?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sian:
This is actually a follow up to the post from CRXed..I can't seem to apply the solution posted here.. to delete the cache or rename the file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] diegolvobanania:
Hi all,

I've been trying to change the default icons of the software listed in the 'Programs" tab of Manila (running a HTC Touch Pro 2, Franch ROM - Orange)

Sucessfully didi it by modyfing the registery keys, the only problem is that after changing the icon pth ot custom ones, the tab takes upo to 10 seconds to disply.

So my qyestion is : will Icon CHanger 2.1 allow me to change the icxon on this program tab ? or is it only for the Start Menu ?

Thanks for your answers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
Will work with Manila too
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] diegolvobanania:
Thanks Nullstring,

I'll try this evening at home.

Just hope it will not slow down the whorl display
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
great. Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRXed:
Yes, I think that's the problem. The application should create a String in the register, with an Icon string as well. If it does not do that, it will always use the default icon. Maybe you can manually add the Icon string in the register.

@ Nullstring

Very nice tool. Works pretty well on my HTC TP2.

It sometimes needs several reboots to correctly display the custom icon into the manila program tab. Maybe some cahce location needs to be empty or refresh.

Works immediatly in the Shell32 page.

Very convenient to use. Lots of nice features ... great Job.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TheMathMan:
Brilliant app.

However I can't get my moTweets or RSS Hub icons to stick on the short cuts bit on the homepage.

I have fixed it for other apps by deleting .bmg files from HTCProgLauncher folder but it never has these in, also Peep.

Ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sian:
Hi

I've finally figured things out a bit.. and manage to get most of them changed. Interestingly, some of the folder with .lnk in it but they can't be seen in JWMD. I need to move the shortcut out to the main directory in order to change them.

Deleting the cache in the App Data/HTC/ProgLauncher helps.

Thanks!

Is there a way to go back to default?

I've changed icons so many times and even deleted a couple of icons I didn't use, now I wan't them back but there is no way to get them back.

Via menu in JMWD you can actually see all the "carbage" icons (the ones that were deleted ore moved) but there is no option to restore the carbage files.

Any help is appreciated, and please don't advice to do a hard reset ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
hehe. That's why Theming feature was created but need some time to beefed things up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ET:
What excactly do you mean? Is there a way to go back to default or isn't that implemented yet in JWMD?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
Yes there is a way (supposed to be a way) but as I've said, need to beef things up on Theming.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ET:
Well, ok, clear (I think). Will wait for version with the option to go back to default.

Is the "debug" any help in getting the icons back or are they maybe stored in some reg string?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] diegolvobanania:
I tried it all (deleting cache from App Data and Button app fodler, checked the link in registery (and they do point to custom icon), soft reset ...) and the following apps will not change their icons in the SensUI program tab, whreeas they display custom icon in Shell32 and StartMenu :

camera

notaes

tasks

phons

email

sms

contacts

comm manager

file explorer

Opera Browser

Search phone

Settings

Office mobile programs (Word, XL, One Note, PPoint)

Market Place

Windows Media Player

All this applications did came built-in the ROM, maybe it's just impossbile to chnage the icon for the built-in apps. It probably has been locked either by HTC or the operator

I wish i was wrong so that i could get it work, but ...

I change the "phone" icon to tel.png and "acorbat reader" icon to areader.png, regarding what you told me a bout Manila bug. Still no way to change it.

Look at the pictures attached, especially "email" and "contacts". You'll see that in the SenseUI, it's the old one, but it's OK in the Manila list, and also in the Start Menu

However, bad news...when attempting to launch the app I get:
