i just tested it and it is already part of helix launcher 2!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Great, will test it right now...

Edit: Perfect!:)..works, a great addition to make things even more simple - great job !!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
Nice mod! #kmobsblurrycam FTW!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Thanks persiansown, works great. Any plans to enable this for desktop icon deletes?

Here is a transparent icon morph for this.

Also does not work in conjunction with the NexTheme goodies launcher for 5.0.6. :(

NVM, included already¿
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CaliLove310:
Wow, I remember thinking about this a few days ago. I didn't know it was part of Launcher 2 already :D Thanks for this, although for me it's not as fast and "letting go" over the trash can doesn't prompt me to uninstall. I have to keep holding it over the trash can until it vibrates and then it'll prompt me to uninstall.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jlevy73:
Nice Mod, works nice. Any chance of fixing the kmobs blurry cam. Check your acpu file :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] persiansown:
Nice! No plans for desktop icons just yet because I feel that could cause issues since you delete icons from your desktop much more often than your app tray
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sultan-mrm:
wooooow I just thinking how to do it without change the original Launcher :D

thanks man
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
hi persiansown,

is this mod dead, or any chance to get this for 5071 ??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] diversificationied:
Pretty sure it was rolled into cyanogen since 5.0.6
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
I would like to propose a standard.

A standard of naming ALL start menu icons using the "Start_Icon_XXXXX.png" format. This way, users wanting a different, uniform, iconset can request their favorite icon maker (people like Dinik for example) make a cab with this naming convention, where they can just install the cab and be ready to go!

To make a long story short, I propose all ROMs made on XDA, follow the format of "Start_Icon_Contacts.png" or "Start_Icon_FileExplorer.png". Half of this is already dont for us by microsoft, but HTC doesn't always follow it. However, we, as chefs, can easily rename these files before we cook a ROM.

I'll start doing this for all my ROMs, probably with the next update I will put it out... Let's make it easier on users to user their favorite iconset, without complicated apps needing to be used to change them one by one... it's such a PITA (especially when you reflash!).

So, who's with me ?

Get the word out to your favorite chef :)

I started to do this in my ROMs already.

About 50% complete with the standard "Start_Icon_Application_Name.png" naming convention.

Any spaces in the application name should be replaced with underscores in the registry(app.reg or .rgu) and the name of the PNG file itself.
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
Im on it but here is a question...

many of the icons in the settings are maincpl.cpl,1 or ,28 or so.... then others are mycpl.cpl,10 those are hard to change icons cause our (old devices works like that)

to change them we need to search for the icon set cause all uses the default icon in the resource EXE or DLL

i will put here some examples later thanks to tpc has helped me and saurabh too on changing them some other i cant do it..
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
That's hard in 6.1... that's when you have to edit resources in DLL, CPLs, EXEs.... very easy in 6.5. Here's an example...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\Personal\cplmain.cpl,20]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_PhoneSet.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\Personal\VoiceCommand_PPC.cpl,0]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_VoiceCmd.png"
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
mmmm interesting

I have the same and works fine like this:

Because that is a 6.5 app

But what about this??? this is the USB to PC from diamond 6.1 OEM cause is the only one that works with my ****en device

I put this reg to change the icon and dont works

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\MyCpl.cpl,28]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\ConnectionsUsbToPcv2.png"

Doing the icons in 6.1 editing the resources into dlls cpl or exes is easy doing the BMP or ICO in photoshop and using restorator app to change it
[Windows Mobile] BartOtten:
Have sent agent_47 an PM
[Windows Mobile] agent_47:
are you guys proposing that those who din follow it (like me) should rename 150+ png files and their corresponding reg :o:o:eek::eek:

PS: this is a good initiative though
[Windows Mobile] BartOtten:
We do. If you send them to me, I will do so.
[Windows Mobile] HelderJr:
I´m not a chef, but it´s an adorable idea. The chefs that join this idea, might include on the name of their ROM thread that they´re doing this. To do so, you might choose a designation for this. Such as: SNI (Standart Naming of Icons) or something like that. Well, that´s an idea.
[Windows Mobile] twopumpchump:
most of mine are already done, but i dont mind changing the ones that arent :) i guess we should have a list of icon pic names so everybody's will be exactly the same.
[Windows Mobile] af974:
I always use this kind of method for my roms, only 2 or 3 arent named in this way.

Nice idea though :)
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
Yes, I propose we do! Mine are all over the place as well, but I will take an hoour or two one day and make sure they follow this format :) Come on... let's all do it. The users will love it I'm sure. :D
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
That's great.. now if we all did it... at least the more "popular" ROMs, then icon creators's jobs and users would be much much easier :)
[Windows Mobile] birkoffsjunk:
I'm happy to do this as well... but something to watch out for though is making sure the names are exactly the same, not much point if 2 chefs implement this slightly differently.

e.g.

'Start_Icon_HTC_AGPSSettings.png' vs 'Start_Icon_HTC_AGPS_Settings.png'

EDIT: How about a standard icon EXT package, all pre-renamed & registry setting done? Just need something to remove the existing icons, a wee batch script?
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Well i guess we must follow the Icon makers layout.

e.g if they will make Start_Icon_HTC_AGPSSettings.png we need to use this one in our roms.

Can someone take an icon developer in this thread?......NRG is up to you , you are the OP here :D
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
I try to name then "Start_Icon_XXX" in my ROMs...

If all the icon makers name the files all the same, it will be a lot easier to cook then in different icon flavors!...:D
[Windows Mobile] Diegis0n:
+1 for the idea

+1!
[Windows Mobile] Cloudyfa:
It should be:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\Connections\MyCpl.cpl,28]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\ConnectionsUsbToPcv2.png"

You used "Group"=dword:2 ==> it's in Connections, not System
[Windows Mobile] forelli:
Hey Chefs, I think NRGZ idea is very very good. While you're at it, could you also "normalise" the folders names like "Tweaks" instead of "Apps Tweaks"? I say that because when saving a "theme" in JWMD icon changer, it won't apply it to folders if they have a different name although they contain the same "tweaks" inside.
[Windows Mobile] derliebewolf:
I am with you, NRGZ! Makes it really easy with WM6.5!
[Windows Mobile] Diegis0n:
nvm, out of focus
[Windows Mobile] smadger:
Just a thought..

As 6.1, 6.5, 6.5.x etc is coming to the end of it's commercial life, (by that I mean we're pretty certain Microsoft will not be supporting them once Windows Phone 7 hits the streets, and probably therefore HTC) and I'm almost certain there will still be a huge demand for the old standards, not only on this forum but in many other places, is this not a huge opportunity to take a bit of a leap and standardise as much as possible - reclaim window mobile if you like? - Icon naming, folder structure, and anything else people can think of, so that future chefs can continue to support the handsets not encapsulated in the WP7 circle.

There might not be much more else to make a standard, but let's have a think about it whilst we have the opportunity?
[Windows Mobile] nickschot:
Lovely idea!

BUT...

I think it will be handy if theres some kind of list containing all these proper icon names so people dont have tiny little differences in the naming which will ruin this party.

It will be a lot easier to install iconsets though!

Ill cook it with the new names as soon as theres a little more clarity :D.
[Windows Mobile] ongtroi:
Keep ALL icons in one folder (\Windows\Icons)

In addition to the standard naming convention, I would also like to see ALL icons that are used in the ROM to be in one location (i.e. \Windows\Icons) so we can replace it with our own set of icons. I don't need to go in the registry and check which icon I need to replace.
[Windows Mobile] piaqt:
This user ABSOLUTELY loves it!
[Windows Mobile] twopumpchump:
ms is still going to support wm even after wp7 hits the streets, there will be wm 6.5.6 at least in the future :)

i agree totally, im not going to re-name any icons untill someone posts a list to go by.

icon pics are in the Windows folder and thats where they need to stay, if we started putting them in say Windows\Icons folder there would be duplicated files and wasted space ;)
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
That's beyond the scope of this discussion though. I personally don;t think that's a good idea, since there will be extra icon PNGs in \windows as well. No point in copying them to a different folder as well.
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
There's no "list" to go by. Simple rename the icons to your application's shortcut name. So if you have "Album" in multimedia the icon for it would be Start_Icon_Album.png and so on... If a chef decides to name his differently, then I guess it'll be up to the use to manually rectify the info in the registry. That's a minor inconvenience, compared to redoing ALL the icons, which you currently have to do when installing a custom icon set.

The custom settings applets we have in our ROM, could follow the same naming scheme. Use the description of it, or the way it shows up on the actual start menu. So look at your start menu and name the icons according to that exact name! No need for a list, because not all ROMs will be exactly the same :)
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Without a list this will be a pain in the a**.

We are doing it for end-users so my suggestion is to have a list from one of the good Icon developers.

As i said the big issue is not with SYS icon but with other HTC apps and other minor apps, ive seen in my last icon set that there is some icons for e.g. totalCommander,Youtube,Facebook,ect.......i dont want someone in my threads complaint on " hey why Facebook icons are no changed after i instal this cab?"...i have already my problems explaining to people that new M2D doesnt support landscape yet .:D
[Windows Mobile] dinik:
this is a nice idea for custom roms...but if we go this way...i must create 2 cabs...for custom roms and for standard...thats double work...dont you think? :confused:
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Finally :D

Not a big issue Dinik, just provide us a list of your name icons and we will use your layout .

You dont need to make anything , we will change our icons name with your.
[Windows Mobile] Rottgrub:
Could even do sets with the registry settings pointing to the "default". At that point, just need to rename dirs to change sets.

\windows\icons\default

\windows\icons\setname1

\windows\icons\setname2

Remove \default, copy \setname1 \default, reset. Icons changed.

EDIT: Just caught up to the end of the thread, and saw this idea nixxed. Ahh well.
[Windows Mobile] twopumpchump:
when you cook a rom all files are in the Windows folder originally, all files that end up in other directories are copied to them from the Windows folder. if we started putting them in other folders, then there would be double the space\amount of files in the rom and i think that is silly. the whole point is that if we all use the same names for our .png pics, then the end user only has to replace the pics with a cab and not touch the registry.
[Windows Mobile] dinik:
hmmok...thats not a big prob...my icon have all standard names...the standard ones...the other have names of the programs...do we speak here about the standard ones or others also?
[Windows Mobile] af974:
well i guess we can leave in a side the default Windows icons since thay have the same name in every build......so we are speaking of non-standard one such HTC apps and other external apps (Totalcommander,CleanRam...)
[Windows Mobile] dinik:
oook...i got 160 Additional Icons...without folders and games...it gonna take a while to make a list of all names...so let me know if the decision to take my names is final ;)
[Windows Mobile] dinik:
i just remembered! i got all names in my thread...this are the names of my icons ;)
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
Hey Dinik's im using your icons!!! i love them man! great job and yes... change the start menu/programs and settings/personal names to default ones, is a good idea, we must to start talkin about MainCpl, and MyCpl.
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
I'm sure far more people use custom ROMs here, than 'standard' ROMs :)
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
There you go! Summed it all up in one phrase :) :p
[Windows Mobile] bowpay:
If you can give this standard a name I can add it as a property on XdaRoms. This way chefs can check a box that says "NRG Standard Rom" so users know if it adheres to the standards you set. Let me know if this will help out.

--Edit--

Also it might be good to start to make standard threads like this sticky so that users can find them easily. If you guys like my idea I will also have a link back to this thread so users can find out what the standard involves.

--End Edit--

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile] dinik:
here yes...thats true...and im the one of them...but my icons are on many other forums...and from other icons creators maybe also...and there...i know many many users that use standard roms...as they dont want to flash custom ones...so i gonna use the standard names...as they go for both (standard and custom)

for the additional icons we can take whatever you like names :D

or...we could change icons not by overwriting them...we could do it by changing the reg...but its a little bit of work
[Windows Mobile] egzthunder1:
Not that I do a whole lot of cooking, but I love the idea. It should make skinning a lot simpler (particularly simpler for cooks). +1 on this.
[Windows Mobile] Rottgrub:
If we cook the ROM with icons and registry items already in the "\icons\default" dir, then we wouldn't need multiple files, and there would be less files cluttering up "\windows". Not sure how that would affect default windows behavior, but might we worth running the experiment. Might try it this weekend...

EDIT: Hrm, never noticed that app.dat doesn't actually move the files. Would have to have a clean-up script run in post to clear out the junk from "\windows".
[Windows Mobile] twopumpchump:
you are right, app.dat only copies the files from Windows to other directories. you cant delete the files from Windows that are cooked in a rom so a script would be useless.
[Windows Mobile] the_scotsman:
Nice idea...most of mine are named this way anyway, just need to fix a few up.
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
Yep thats tru many of my apps has this kind of copy app.dat to programfiles... but... how to know if a program searchs in program files? and not directly on windows?

I mean maybe coreplayer will use some dlls in program files/sources/ and... we will have all of them in windows... or just leave in program files that folder?

this is interesting casue its ussually the same troubles to run out of space in older 64MB storage devices.
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
Yep.. you gotta get with the times man and buy a newer device! LOL :p

I was playing with my two hermes devices I have here at work... the ROM on one was three years old! ouch! :P Got any good ROMs for a Hermes ?? :)
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
jajaja hey bud you must sell me a better device... what do you think?

about roms... well :p im the only one cooking for hermes now so sad :(

check my siggy
[Windows Mobile] indagroove:
Well, this is a nice idea, but there is one problem:

HTC is making more and more of their own start menu icons with their own naming system, based off windows the windows scheme. If you look at some of the latest qilin dumps, you will see that their icons are named "Start_Icon_HTC_XXXXX.png" rather than WM's naming scheme of "Start_Icon_XXXXX.png". I have a feeling that we will be seeing more and more of this in future roms/devices. Therefore, the windows naming scheme would be of no use to those with these newer devices in the future.

In terms of where to put the icons and subdirectories, a simple solution to keeping files out of the windows folder would be to cab up all the icons and have them installed with runcc upon first boot.
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
the idea is to rewrite that default icons so if the room you are cooking comes from a beta from MSFT so.. install the Windows PKG, if its HTC dumped build or stock... Use the HTC pkg
[Windows Mobile] Maverick_TN:
How about just naming the files the same as the shortcut, but replace a space with a _. Less confusion then when someone wants to change them.

Based off:

Start_Icon_XXXXX.png

ex: Microsoft My Phone.lnk

Start_Icon_Microsoft_My_Phone.png
[Windows Mobile] zelendel:
That is the template I have been working on converting all the reg and icons for. Is this gonna be the standard?
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
we are discusing that bud... i guess the spaces to be replaced by the "_" could be good idea but the standard meaning will be lost due to that... i guess the standard icons should be like that... and custom or newer icons like settings or HTC or myphone could be the exeption, well... everything has an exception :p
[Windows Mobile] Emrulez:
Good Idea will make things easier.

Will make my new icons this way.

So I will have the following certificate:

Unified Naming of start menu Icons Certificate :p
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
While a logo is a good idea.. I dont think "UNoSMI" is a good name to call this :) Something much shorter and sweeter... How about ? "Unified Icons Compliant" :) UIA ? Sounds easier :)
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
Now that's a good idea.!
[Windows Mobile] Emrulez:
No problem UIA sounds better :p

Hey guys has anyone been able to get G-sensor to change? I have tried everything I can think of. It is not in the initi file, removed qtc, no provxml, reg setting is right. I am out of ideas
[Windows Mobile] 3|Saint|5:
I have the same problem. I had trouble with trying to change the Power and Sliding Sound icons so I tried editing the "exe" of the two with Reshacker. I was successful with those two but not with G-Sensor.
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
This should clear up what you guys have to do...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\MyCpl\[B]35[/B]]
"Description"="G-Sensor Calibrator"

"File"="AccelerometerCalibrator.exe"
"CmdLine"=""

"Icon"="\\Windows\\HTC_g_senser.png"
[Windows Mobile] indagroove:
I've got no problem changing it:

[Windows Mobile] zelendel:

But it reamains the default
[Windows Mobile] Diegis0n:
Only thing i notice is the png name :)

default = senser

you = sens

o

r

Check your actual icon's name ?
[Windows Mobile] indagroove:
Default = HTC_g_senser.png
[Windows Mobile] zelendel:
Thanks guys, I think I found my issue, I have been working on an exported reg setting that needs to be cleaned up a bit. Ill let you know once I am done with the flash. Thanks for the help.

Ok Renamed and double checked and still nothing same default icon.
[Windows Mobile] Diegis0n:
of course mate ;)

i was talking about the E in sensEr being default, and his reg line spelling it sensOr, follow? :D
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
LOL.. funny :P
[Windows Mobile] zelendel:
The only reason I spell It with an O is due to that was the way it was spelled in the dumped EXT I am using.:confused::D I have tried renaming it in both my reg and the default and still nothing.
[Windows Mobile] indagroove:
Export this reg setting from your device, and tell us what the icon string points to specifically:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\MyCpl.cpl,35]
"Icon"=
[Windows Mobile] Diegis0n:
In that case it's not the issue at hand here ;)

Very odd indeed :confused:
[Windows Mobile] zelendel:
I am not.sure what happened but i redid the whole reg from scratch and now it works fine. thanks for the help guys, not real sure what happened but it is working fine now.
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
Those icons looks awesome!:D

Just made A new Certificate, My Icons are named according to this initiative.

​
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
cool, nice certificate pic ;) UIA sounds cool but 6.(X)

BTW i like the black icons but i like more the style of the encryption icon :p
[Windows Mobile] zelendel:
LOL yeah I had not gotten to that one yet:D
[Windows Mobile] Emrulez:
Thanx, should I ditch the 6.(X)?
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
I think so...

The satandar icons are named in teh same way in WP6.5 and WP6.5.X (and 6.5.X "maybe will ends as 6.6) so... i guess "Windows Phone 6.5" is ok for now
[Windows Mobile] Emrulez:
Made it like this:
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
Now looks more "PRO" ;)

Im renaming my icons now to the UIA i guess i will leave the Settings maincpl and mycpl as i want due to old Devices and OEMdrivers
[Windows Mobile] Staxxthedan:

[Windows Mobile] Psyki:
I apologize if this has been discussed already, but what is the naming convention for folder icons? I have converted all my folder icons in the start menu to 'start_icon_folder_xxx' and for the settings folders I used 'start_icon_folder_settings_personal' etc. Is this what we're going with?
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
This is The UIA for folders in settings

Start_Icon_SettingsC.png this for connections

Start_Icon_SettingsP.png this for personal

Start_Icon_SettingsS.png This for system

And the name for the start menu????? well if you can see in the base dpi or entertainment or in initflash files you will get this

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("\x0047\x0061\x006D\x0065\x0073")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games"):-File("\x0053\x006F\x006C\x0069\x0074\x0061\x0069\x0072\x0065\x002E\x006C\x006E\x006B","\Windows\solitare.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\gamesico.lnk")

an .ICO!!!

As this folders are not standarized and the office is a folder BTW!!! the name is Start_Icon_Office.png... i sugest to use your Idea Start_Icon_Folder_Games.png

but is kinda big i use this

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Tools]
