[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] huisie:
Modifying the Start Menu in the Kitchen

Hi, Birkoffsjunk

Thanks for your earlier help in modifying the Manila Tabs to suit my preferences.

I'm wanting to modify the start menu icons and folders to suit my setup.

To this effect I have :

- modified the order in "Tabtastic.zip", reorganising folder and icon entries;

- modified the icons in "Sources\Devices\HTC Leo\EXT Packages\ChuckyROM_Skins\StartMenu Icons";

- modified the corresponding "app.reg" in "StartMenu Icons", reorganising folder and icon entries.

In "app.reg" are several entries I wasn't sure of:

These entries don't have corresponding icons:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Tools\GpsModSetup.lnk]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_GPS.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Modem Link.lnk]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_MLink.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Getting Started.lnk]

"Rank"=dword:35A4ECA0

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Welcome.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\Connections\cplmain.cpl,28]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_PCCon.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\Connections\cplmain.cpl,15]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Beam.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\historyui.cpl,0]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Managed.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\cplmain.cpl,29]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Feedback.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\cplmain.cpl,24]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Watson.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\cplmain.cpl,0]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Contrast.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\Personal\VoiceCommand_PPC.cpl,0]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_VoiceCmd.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Outlook\Text.lnk]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_SMS.png"

"Rank"=dword:35A4ECDC

These entries are double entries, in one way or another (notes in red):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\Connections\cplmain.cpl,17]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Wifi.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\Connections\MyCpl.cpl,7]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Wifi.png"

(same folder, same icon, different cpl entry)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\BTConfigCE.cpl,0]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Bluetooth.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\cplmain.cpl,23]

"Rank"=dword:000003E8

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Bluetooth.png"

(same folder, same icon, different cpl entry)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Tools\Calculator.lnk]

"Rank"=dword:35A4E7BE

"Icon"="\\windows\\HTC_Calculator.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Outlook\Calculator.lnk]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Calc.png"

"Rank"=dword:35A4EC3C

("Start_Icon_Calc.png" in second entry doesn't exist)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Outlook\SIM Manager.lnk]

"Rank"=dword:35A4E44E

"Icon"="\\Windows\\HTC_sim_manager.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Outlook\SIM Manager.lnk]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\HTC_sim_manager.png"

(Appears to be double entry)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Net\Microsoft My Phone.lnk]

"Rank"=dword:35A4EC64

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_MyPhone.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\MyPhoneLauncher.cpl,0]

"Rank"=dword:00000064

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_MyPhone.png"

(same icon for 2 different entries)

Secondly, I wanted to know if it is possible/advisable to add our own customisations to the Kitchen.

On Page 1, it says the ROMs are UC capable, but you already modify the kitchen ("First Boot").

Is it possible to add our own CAB, XML and REG entries to the Kitchen.

If so, what would be best practice?

I don't expect you to hold my hand here - if you could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance and please keep up the great work - looking forward to a Chucky Sencity Kitchen!
