[Resolved]

Hey guys, I have good news. I haev worked out the problem.

So for some reason, this only affects the latest version of Facebook, which is available from Windows Marketplace.

To fix the issue, change your icon using JWMD, CSMI SK Icon Manager, or whatever you prefer. Clear cache (which is to delete the *.bmg from proglauncher).

Then, from thw Windows directory, copy the Facebook.ink file to Windows\Start Menu\Programs. Restart the phone, all done.

This will overwrite the changed icon, with the default icon. After a reboot, you are sweet.

I just tested this 10 mins ago, and perfect. Thank god, I no longer have a stupid icon sticking out like a sore thumb.

Thank you for yoru assistance in trying to resolve it.

Bugs found, try to change icons like, youtube, palringo, opera and my own hand made icon 80X80 png, while changing the pics, just got some blank image, some icons working like messaging, rss feed.

Good luck bro, we all waiting a new release or bugless one.

Even i delete the bmp files, nothing to do................:(

Thanks Eraser nice application:cool:

Feature request: It'd be nice if there was a tree-like view in the programs list. There's so many icons it's easy to get lost and you have to keep scrolling left and right to find what you're looking for. A tree-like view with little thumbnails would be great.

Also, where can I get those icons you're using in the screenshot? Thanks.

EDIT: Another question, why are there some items listed twice? For example "Google Maps" and ">Google Maps", what's the difference?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eraser85:
Yes, I know. Tree-like view was already in a feature I was going to implement sooner or later... :) So just give me some time and I will add in a future version :)

As for the Icons, you can find them in deviantart user "deleket" 's gallery.

Items may appear twice or even more times simply because you have it twice or more times in your start menu :) The symbol ">" indicates that this element is child of another, parent element. For example, if you have a Folder in start menu called "Tools" and inside it you have a program called "MyApplication" you will see in CSMI:

Tools

>MyApplication

So, if you have "Google Maps" and ">Google Maps" it means that the second element is inside a folder (which, in that case, is the first element prior to ">Google Maps" that doesn't have the ">" symbol).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Koki.v3:
Yes, I figured that'd be the case, however the icon Google Maps is in my start menu just once, not twice, I'm 100% sure. Also for some reason the Facebook application is not listed at all. I don't get it :/

BTW: Thanks for the icons, they look nice... here's what I did to my start menu :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eraser85:

Bugreport. Is it one?

After I have assigned a png to a program icon it is not possible to choose another one. I can go back to the original one but after setting another png it displays the first set again.

I guess I have to delete the cache manually or something. Any suggestions?

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Koki.v3:
Weird, I have no problems replacing Icons, however I haven't tried a lot of them, I usually just reset everything back to original, soft-reset, and then start placing new icons again. Works for me.

The icons I've used are here: http://smert1012.deviantart.com/art/Black-Glass-Icons-98830253
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] SrTapir:
I have changed almost all my icons unless the Comm manager one, I´m not able to do it, are you having the same problem?

The program is superb, thank you very much for developing it!

Greetings
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eraser85:
comm manager is no different from other icons. The only thing is that's already been cached by default. Just force sense to update its cache:

- remove the link from home screen

- remove that icon's cached copy

- readd it to the homescreen

thank you for support! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] thommic:
Changing the icon afterward works fine for me at the start menu.

Only manila changes to an icon installed before.

Forgot to mention that I have installed this hack http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4387068&postcount=5 for manila. I guess this is causing the error.

Edit. I uninstalled the MaxTheme thingy. Also that has not solved the issue. Anyway.. its a nice and easy to handle tool. There is for sure some romm for improvement but i do like it. :) Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] SrTapir:
Sry for the disturbance Eraser85, but I did not found anything on the forums... How can i remove the icon's cached copy?? :o

Thanks again!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antoniomistretta:
Wonder! Great job, thank you! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Koki.v3:
OK, I tested it some more and there seems to be a bug, the program doesn't delete the cached icon, they're placed in \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher, simply delete all files and they'll be recreated on the next boot of the device. If you don't delete these cached files, the icons in Manila will stay the same, even after a soft-reset. I've actually used this bug in my advantage, I now have different icons in the start menu and different ones in my Manila shortcuts.

Check out the File Explorer:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] thommic:
YES.. that does the trick. Thanks a million!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eraser85:
thank you koki.. in the upcoming version I am going to clear the htc cache after an icon has been set :)

Hi SrTapir

Your Google Maps icon is nice (the original is very aliased with HTC Sense). Can you share it ? :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lord Spectre:

I cant change the icon on the Taskmanager. Its name is TaskMgr when i set it in start menu, but its called "Aktivetetshanderaren" in ure app. Any idea how to fix this? I guess thats the name is the issue.

EDIT: Solved it!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] daleski75:
Really love the app but one thing which would be great would be instead of a list of programs and icons change it so we see the actual png instead.

This will make it much easier to pick an icon as you can see the actual png rather than the filename.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] drkalo:
Thank you. My new quick links icons look sharp and clear :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] thommic:
Agree with that. Maybe a little preview by taping the name of the png would be already good enough.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] barbapappa_86:
Another thing that would be nice if we can set the folder all images are so it loads that specific folder. Not hard to browse throu all folders, but it just feels unnecessary. Maybe more fingerfriendly to?

Thanks for the great work ~ this app rocks !make my start menu looks so much better

[REQ] - Different language WM support? as I am on Chinese WM, it seems like it's loading the "SETTINGS" folder icon only for the WWE WM. wonder if it's possible to load the path from the WM Registry so it will work on all languages?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] padibuz:
Hey m8, thanks for the great app, I love it.

I have 2 problems with it, however, persistent through both v1.1 and v1.2

The "Camera" and "Music" icons DO NOT update no matter what I do.

Remove / re-add, soft reset, everything.

The weird thing is I have no problems with other icons; also, they aren't cached in application data / htc.

Any thoughts ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eraser85:
Hi!

My application actually doesn't have any localization bits since it simply relies on the registry entries.. I will take a look into this.

Could you please give me some infos?

If you go into your registry folder named "\\HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\", could you tell me what's the name for "Settings" folder? I dont think those items get localized but I've never worked with different language ROMs..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eraser85:
Camera and Music are no different from the other icons. The only way you have to make sure everything is ok is using a registry editor, go to "\\HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\" and check manually the value "Icon" in each regkey element (Music and Camera) to what icon is currently pointing at.

If you just can't get it to work, delete manually the value "Icon" from both elements, remove links from the homescreen, make sure HTC cache is clear and finally use CSMI to apply new icons to them. Soft-reset and re-add those elements to the homescreen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dinik:
have the same problem...i tryed like you said...still the standart icons...on camera and camecorder...where is the cache for them???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eraser85:
to me.. it works without doing anything at all.. strange :|
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lcw622:
HUm...U are right !... XD ... it;s weird ... it doesn't list the icons for the WM "settings".. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] the original mobilitygeek:
Not working :(

I tried to change CoPilot - looks great in Startmenu. Removed it from Quicklinks, Softreset, added it - looks the same :(

Any advice?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eraser85:
If you go in CSMI and tap on the CoPilot item, is the icon under "Original Icon" updated or is it the old one? If it's updated then CSMI worked but for some strange reason HTC Cache hasn't been updated... that's weird, it should work..

If CSMI finds an item that has been cached, firstly removes it from cache, then updates the registry.. so all you have to do is just removing and re-adding the link in the homescreen..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] the original mobilitygeek:
Thats what I did :( I also tried to remove it from cache manually but CoPilot is not found in Application Data/HTC/ProgLauncher - anything else I can try?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eraser85:
just take a look at my previous post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] the original mobilitygeek:
Read it - done it - but NOT working!

In the registry I see the right values, the icon shows properly in Startmenu, in the cache at Application Data/HTC/ProgLauncher is NO file for CoPilot to delete! I removed it several times from quicklink, did several softreset, added it again and again - nothing happens. The original icon stays :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
Does this now allow a preview of the icons like JWMD Icon Changer does? If I recall correctly 1.1 didn't so if you had a large folder of icons, you had to choose which one you wanted to change a specific icon to before hand which was less than ideal.

Use the old method. Navigate to /Application Data/HTC/Proglauncher and delete all the .bmg files followed by a soft reset. This will force Sense to update it's icons catch.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] the original mobilitygeek:
This whole thing is driving me nuts :)

I deleted ALL files in the folder, softreset, add CoPilot to Quicklinks (showing my icon in the list) but in Quicklink the "old" CoPilot icon appears!

I don't know what to do anymore (I'll switch to iGO8 *ggg*)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] czbird:
Several comments / suggestions on CSMI v1.2:

1) Biggest problem - disastrously slow loading of the folder with many icons. It does not show any thumbnails so I don't understand what't taking it so long. I have about 400 icons in one folder and have to wait about 20 seconds to have the list loaded.

It seems to me like the list gets sorted after every icon is added to it. It would be much quicker to have the list unsorted, freeze it (via a method avoiding graphic updates, like for example .BeginUpdate in Delphi), then load all icons, sort the list, and finally unfreeze it again.

2) It'd be nice if the program remembered the last selected icon folder, so that it would not be necessary to browse the device again and again for every icon. This put together with 1) would improve the experience alot.

3) Please use a bit larger font in the folder-select dialog.

Thanks :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
Even ignoring the speed issue you outline, to be a viable alternative to JWMD Icon Changer and Hcomber, this thumbnail problem needs to be addressed. I suggest it be placed high on the list of priorities.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Metrob:
First of all, I just got my HD2 and I both love and hate it. I love it because I can spend a lot of time changing or adapting, but hate it because I am not a techy savy.

I intalled this application but and installation was okay, after softreset I am looking for the start up icon so I can personalize the icon...I am sorry but where the heck does the star up icon go after installation?

1. Should I reinstall the program again?

2. Is it hidden in a sub menu?

Again I appologize for being a noob but I cannot find it....:eek:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] czbird:
It is in Start / Tools submenu.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Metrob:
Now I feel like a complete idiot! Thank you for the guidance though I found it immediatly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
Today it appeared that after two softresets all changed icons suddenly disappeared and were automatically changed against the original ones but those didn't look normal but crappy. No idea what's going on there, might be a bug in the program...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eraser85:
something messed up your registry.. CSMI just alters some registry key and that's it. Once you close it, it wont modify your registry

1) Yes I know, I'll do something about it in the next release.

2) That will be addressed too in the upcoming version.

3) Hopefully it wont be needed once browsing the file system will be done using icons/thumbnails
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] czbird:
Cool, I'm already looking forward to testing the new version :)

Thanks again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dinik:
this is a real problem...i have the same problems...and nothing helps
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eraser85:
look, my program modifies the icon shown for each element found in the start menu. This is accomplished by altering the registry as mentioned here. Moreover, in v1.2 I clean the HTC cache when necessary.

If that doesn't work on your device then something is messing around with your registry and/or manila. To me and my beta testers CSMI works pretty much flawlessly.. There are some things I still don't know (like forcing WM6.5 to refresh icons without soft-reset and such) but I will eventually find out how.. HTC Sense, however, should work without problems. If you can't really find a way to solve this problem then a hard reset is the only solution I see..

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gianthobbit:
So how do you size the rounded icons, i heard that they should be 128x128 but most of the ones i find online have some margin around them. I cropped it right to the edge and resized to 128 but there still is a margin. Should there be a margin, how big?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:

OK, after reading some more I also checked the startup reg values and these point to the NEW camera icon...

Even if I remove these too, when I try the sense quicklink again the old freaking icon appears again, duhhhhhh.

Hi Eraser85,

Thanks for the great contribution! Excellent work my friend, keep it coming ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] czbird:
Thanks for the update!

Now the proggie really is much more usable.

I have some tips for next version, though :)

1) Do not display "ghost" items. If you remove a shortcut from the Start menu, its information is still kept in the registry, and loaded with CSMI. I suggest to check if the link actually exists first, and show it only if it does.

1b) Actually a ghost removing feature would be nice. Imagine what mess the Start menu registry branch will look like after let's say... 6 months of using the device

2) Change default sorting order in the open dialog from Date to Name

3) Display items in collapsible tree view with vertical scrolling instead of current plain list with '>' prefixes would do good for users with more nested Start menu ( like myself :) )

Good luck.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eraser85:
That's something really doable for the next release.. Apart from 3) which I have many ideas in my mind which I just need time to experiment with.. and time is something I'm lacking lately :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] czbird:
Sure, I know that very well myself.

I'll be glad for any partial update whenever it suits you :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eraser85:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
the margin is part of the OS, it's a special manila file.

EDIT:

Unzip and copy this to your windows folder.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eraser85:
I've found a bug/feature in manila which prevents some icons to be changed.

Since many users were complaining about not being able to change some icons I've started investigating the problem and found that if you try to use a custom icon which have the same filename of one of the images found in \Windows then Manila will always load that instead of your customized one.

In order to easily fix the problem, just rename your icon :)

This bug affects ONLY manila, therefore in the start menu everything will look fine BUT in the Homescreen you will always have the original icon!
