Pherhaps its an Idea to put all the Roms, icon sets that support the initiative in the first post or an seperate thread.
[Windows Mobile] Diegis0n:
I use this myself for the Folders :)

Start_Folder_XXXXX.png

Since there was no real reference, i thought this would be the most logical choice :D
[Windows Mobile] Staxxthedan:
No, this initiative should be implemented as a standard of Posting custom ROMs on this Board, and all ROMs need to comply to ensure compatibility of tweaks etc. all ROMs need to have that logo as an indicator that they are in compliance otherwise, threads that do not comply must be closed until the Chef makes the necessary adjustments to his ROM.:)
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
hi guys. very nice initiative,i'll start renaming the icons this evening or tomorrow.

i already customized a lot of start icons changing the *.lnk infos in registry

but i have problems with those ones:

bubble breaker

calendar

comm manager

contacts

excel mobile

photos and videos

internet explorer

messages

messenger

powerpoint

icr

solitaire

teeter

phone

windows live

i use wm6.1 and most of those shortcuts link to a .dll file. what am i doing wrong? please give me a clue..
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
If you can see the Initiative says "6.5" i never played on 6.1 but there are many icon resources in DLL files check your OEM
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
i don't read "6.5 only" nowhere :confused: btw i've seen there's a lot of resources in DLL but i don't think it's impossible to do.

maybe people that's still on wm6.1 could help each other, i'll have to dig more into OEM/SYS folders
[Windows Mobile] zelendel:
Just wanted to stop in and say thanks for the help guys. HERE is the icon set I was working on and I think it follows the base idea.
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
Cool Icons bud wich is the size of this icons? 90x90?
[Windows Mobile] zelendel:
Yup all icons are 90x90 png. Thanks
[Windows Mobile] CLHatch:
Might I suggest changing the "Windows Phone" in the logo to "Windows Mobile"?

After all, it's for "Windows Mobile 6.5/6.5.x", not Windows Phone 7. Oh, there goes that queezy feeling in my stomach again.
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
isn't it better to make an EXACT filename list for all the icons? so we all can use the same and change them easily with the right reg keys already set..? imho there should be a filenames list on first page,so everybody does the same thing.
[Windows Mobile] millski:
I've been putting together an EXT package with all my icons, named using this convention, to run at the end of the cooking process. All good except for a few problems :/

The idea is that I can drop this EXT into any kitchen without having to modify anything else, but many icons are placed by the initflashes.dat or other app.dat's. Is there a way I can write into my icons EXT app.dat a 'DEL' function of some kind to un-do the work of the other .dat's?

There are also a few icons that simply will not take for me. RegEdit shows the original icon rather than my Start_Icon_RegEdit; I'd be grateful if someone would take a look at my attached EXT and suggest a solution :)
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
that's what's making me mad too,i'm manually editing all the app.reg and .rgu files to delete all the icon files placed in resources (internet explorer,solitaire,calendar,contacts,etc..) that can not be changed with a .png icon. was thinking about a clean way to simply delete those shortcuts and create new ones without editing the sys files but had no luck for now :(
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
thats because your sys provxml!!!

for custom apps icons... simply follow the (EX: Start_Icon_TotalCommander.png) examples, and add a cab with that registry changes they must be minimal.. a cab for almost 30KB i guess :p thats what i do cause making a ZZZ_blabal.PROVXML dont works for me :(
[Windows Mobile] Psyki:
There's an even easier way to do it, simply create a file, call it mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml and have it be completely empty. It will overwrite the file in the sys so you can make your own app.reg with no worries about being overwritten. Attached is an example of how I have my start menu EXT set up, it covers everything in settings too :)
[Windows Mobile] millski:
Interesting, thanks Psyki. Testing now...
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
very interesting. with those empty provxml files you don't have shortcuts at all or you only "unlock" the app.reg function with PNGs? i don't understand if i have to create new shortcuts from scratch..? thanks a lot for the infos..
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
the provxml dont made shortcuts... for default windows mobile SYS shortcuts the initflashfiles made them... for custom... you must to made them... there are others like office with its own files to make shortcuts, check the office folders in sys ;)
[Windows Mobile] Psyki:
If you look at my app.dat it contains the shortcuts for all the stock programs normally in initflashfiles.dat, plus the sys shortcuts in all the provxmls, and finally for the programs I cook in to the rom. Then of course the app.reg files are just for the shortcut icons. I find it's easier to keep all my shortcuts in one app.dat so I can easily keep track of them, same for app.reg.
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
ok almost done,thanks. just calendar and contacts are missing. can't manage to make 'em work yet
[Windows Mobile] Psyki:
Here is what I have in my app.dat for calendar and notes:

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Productivity"):-File("Calendar.lnk","\Windows\calendar.lnk")

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Productivity"):-File("Contacts.lnk","\Windows\addrbook.lnk")

Hi

When I add difference picture as icons I always got a memory drain, about 5mb.

Is the any cache settings or other tweaks to make it less?

Thanks and sorry for bad English:)
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
really??? mmmmmm wich device and rom are you using? wich size are the pngs??
[Windows Mobile] Mackzen:
I cooking my own rom for omnia. The pngs size are 128*128. I see people who cooking with all icons changed but has normal memory. I can't figure out what my problem is:)
[Windows Mobile] steff195:
On Omnia you should have 45x45 sized pngs. :D

Windows 6.5 icons

hi, i'm still nerd, where can i get windows 6.5's icon which in black and white which in the stock rom like htc hd2?

How can i change my windows icon on start menu with this 6.5's icon, any cab file for doing that?

i'm using htc hd stock rom now.. please help me..

Thanx..
[Windows Mobile] :
I have stock icons but in my rom (downloaded from this forum) has no reg entries under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start. That is, icons looks weird.

Can anyone plz upload the full (possible vanilla) reg key? Please, really... it's a 2 minute work!

Thanks A LOT.
[Windows Mobile] mnwajihi:
Hi NRGZ28, You make the most beautiful ROMs that I have ever used. If you don't mind I have one polite request; I know this is not the place to ask, but I couldn't find anywhere else . . . I just love the icons you use in your start menu. Please could you provide a link to download your iconset? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile] Nullstring:
This thread is what I exactly what I want to tell you all!!

Am developing a NEW THEMER for Windows Mobile 6.5/6.5.x and this now includes a Desktop Application!

You can still use JWMD Icon Changer but this new themer will be much dedicated in icon theming!

Am using this application already but I haven't deployed it yet just to make sure there's no minor issues or minor bugs.

This application will base on smart menu "program name" so no matter where the program is located in start menu, it will be themed!

So soon, I'll be needing Chef's help because I want to use the Desktop tool to make your life easier when changing icons for your cooked ROM! :)

See you guys soon!

well the kitchen ive been playing with, which comes with a pack of books, appears to use .epub. Though how you would load them on their own i dont know, , and i dont know how to use the kitchen either, yet, so thats no help, heh.
[HD2 General] Gustopher:
The preferred format does appear to be .epub. You can add further books to the existing list but you will need an application like EBook Indexer to rebuild the database and make them usable on that tab.

I'd assume that downloading from Borders might add them automatically, but I haven't tried that yet as I couldn't find anything on Borders that I wanted.

[HD2 General] amapeen88:
I installed the korean language to my hd2 which is not supported by the default, I've been trying to send text messages to other people with android cell phones. Whenever I try to send it, with unicode enabled, it fails to send the message and asks to remove symbols, in this case korean, from the text. I'm confused because is it because I'm sending it to other carrier? or because it's different OS? or becuase sending messages in other language is impossible. Or could the keyboard installed be a problem? I'm very confused...
[HD2 General] goldt:
I just got an HD2 and every time when i go to messages and try to send mms it freezes and i have to pull out the battery, i did a hard reset and still same thing.

Basically it freezes when i open the picture that i attached in a message and thats it, power button doesn't work all other light up but nothing else.

Also after every mms that i send it freezes, every time.

Maybe it has something to do with 3G that it tries to connect to that i don't have yet?
[G1 General] jeffrimerman:
Is there any application like the iphone has like that? Not sure how it works on the iphone.

Ok, nevermind. The apps that do it for the iphone require a specific alarm for $500 and another $300 for an interface.
[G1 General] he3r0:
you can do it cheaper,

get yourself prepaid phone, the one you can set separate ringtones for different contacts to be sure, get your iphone or any phone`s you want to use to open trunk, number into new prepaid, set it on silenced, and only contacts you added turn on vibrating.

now take apart prepaid, remove wires from vibra motor, solder longer ones, to relay, that goes to electric wires to the trunk, voila.

whenever you send text to prepaid, from no. you have set in it to vibrate, it will open the trunk.

you just need to add minutes or whatever will keep your prepaid working.
[G1 General] jeffrimerman:
Wow, that is really cool.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
You can grab a bluetooth parallel port for $50.

A little relay for $5 and connect it to the "trunk pop" circuit.

(for extra points, you can connect additional relays to run the door lock and remote starter circuits, as well as HEADLIGHTS, HORN, RADIO, etc.)

(for LOTS of extra points, you can also hook up the brake, gas, steering, and PRND selector to servos and put a blow-up doll in the driver's seat)

Pair the bluetooth parallel port to your phone.

Write a little program that flips the relay.
[G1 General] jeffrimerman:
that is really cool too. So I take it there isn't a program already that allows one to use the bluetooth parallel port?
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Not an "app", but the bluetooth systems on the phone use bluez, which IS capable of dealing with it.

Add to that a parallel port control program, and you'll at least have CONSOLE control over it.... which you can run with a trivial app, or something along those lines. It isn't complicated, but you might need to dig in and learn the way things like that link up in linux.

Hi everyone,

Recently I am unable to activate my keypad during a call. this means I cannot check my voice mail, as I cannot enter the security code. Also, I have to use the physical key to end the call.

Can someone advice what is necessary to rectify this (hopefully I don't have to hard reset)?

Thanks,

[HD2 General] tdsanchez:
Hi,

I'm a newbie to all this, & was having the same problem as you with my Tmobile USA HD2. I searched thru the forums & found a solution that worked for me, & may work for you if you have BsB Tweaks installed. You need to disable the BsB Tweaks "Tap Time" option in the General section, then do a soft reset, & your keypad should work again. I'd post a link to the thread, but I have yet to figure out how to do that, sorry! It's in the T-Mobile USA HD2 General forum & titled "Phone screen locks up when on call" if you wanna take a look at it yourself. Hope this helps :)

Hi everyone

I tried to download Samsung Widget through the Widget app that is located on the default widget bar of i8000, but when i click install it said something like "errors occur when applying/installing the widget".

Actually, I have flashed my rom once and it is now a non-English version WM6.5.

I8000HZUJC1(it's not a lite rom, it's an official rom but released by the service provider, they only added some apps related to their service)

I've searched for similar issues on the internet and seems that not many ppl are having this problem, so was wondering, does anyone here have any idea or solution for this?

Thanks very much!

[Omnia II General] jefferysung39:
is there no one having this problem..?

ok..I guess maybe I'm the only one who is still using Samsung's original UI (widget) :rolleyes:...

Suggestion

Did you use File manager or File Explorer when installing widgets?

For me, I'm using i8000 too but I cant install widgets through File Manager, instead i used File Explorer and it works....

You can try it out and let me know whether it works.

APN setting?. I'm down in Puerto Rico with a company called Centennial and I don't any idea what my APN setting are and the APN view in setting is disabled. I try every way to rooted with no luck. My firmware version is "1.63.556.1" I'm planning to use the Goldcard procedure to update. Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
Your prl should have that information soo

Doing that should just change your software, which would be 1.5 to 2.1 without changing your apn.

Also you can update your profile and prl once in 2.1 if everything goes right that should fix it, if changed.

Also have you seen the guide for non sprint phones?

After reading and googling Centennial and cdma htc hero.

I think if he were to have the htc hero, he would be using gsm. I cant find anything that has to do with cdma htc hero on Centennial. But numerous sites take me to the GSM hero that say compatible services Centennial. Like this one.

http://www.cellhut.com/HTC-Hero-Goo...ed-QuadBand-Touchscreen-WiFi-Phone-15971.html

When you go to Centennial.com and type a puerto rico address, it takes you to att.com. If you try to find a store and tpye in a puerto rico address all the stores are att.

And reading att's website about upgrading your phone..

I think you can upgrade your plan with a newer phone, on att's original gsm network.

I feel like an idiot...I just assumed since it was GSM in Louisiana it was that way for their other locations.

Hey, fellow centennial HTC Hero user here. I like my phone so far, but I was promised by centennial that they would fix the MMS issue with a "manufacturer update" which i guessed would be android 2.1 Eclair. Since yesterday I've called customer service a couple of times and the people in that country (not PR) tell me that I should do that myself...surprising...

oh yeah and I tried updating with the Sprint installer, and it stops when it detects it obviously isn't a Sprint phone.

:(

EDIT: Just talked to a customer service representative from PR and said that when the update arrives (no date) it will be available from their website.
[Hero CDMA General] bicione:
Backup/restore or Manual programming? Non-Sprint Rom issues, *288 not working!

I did it, but honestly I am not an expert on this and I am still struggling with some issues. A good place to start is to know what information we need to backup just in case Sprint based Roms brake phone programming. I know PRL is one of those and you can back it up with QSPT Configuration app.

Beware... some post suggest to clear DSA Server URL, do a *228, and that’s all!, but it will not work after the initial/first *228 setup from Centennial even on untouched phones, so programming will need to be manually, I think… or convince them to re-enable on the air programming for the unit... and, well that is where my problems are..:(

Did anyone know about how to backup and restore ALL those settings that can cause problems? i.e. PRI, PRL, SID, etc.... and of course, what to do if you didn't backup and now need to make sure you have the right setting... :o
[Hero CDMA General] Tr4n2T:
UPDATE: decided to try upgrading from another provider in PR which offers the cdma hero (name does not start with a T or an S ;) ) and a rep said their update required a phone # input (which there wasn't). Just followed instructions on the installer's attached readme and used a contact, sms, calendar, etc backup app from the market before update. Updated smoothly, reinstalled backup app and restored my contacts, etc.

Finally Bluetooth file sharing is possible amongst other nice 2.1 features!!!
