mmmm interesting i will check both things, check the names, delete the spaces in PNG file names, and changin the file of the provxml ;) thanks guys

lets see what happend :D
[Windows Mobile] saurabh88:
if still not work and u want then i can upload my provxml file too..:D:D
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
Damn, guys i cant make it works.....

attached the provxml... Im out of ideas now

I already change the name of the provxml as TPC said check the registries.... and delete spaces betwen png files, of course i delete the spaces in images too.

Is there anything i need to run provxml on the device? maybe i dont have it.. or? maybe i need to set some attriutes to the file? or sign it?

I tried to import the provxml with advanced config 3.3 and it gaves me an error... maybe the provxml is wrong

is there any tool to transform the provxml into reg format?
[Windows Mobile] saurabh88:
may be txt editor can help..just rename file by using save as feature to .reg
[Windows Mobile] twopumpchump:
give it a try now, i think i fixed the provxml and i also converted it to .reg in case it doesnt work you can just put the reg to run at end in your kitchen ;) use beyond compare and compare it to the one you uploaded, you will have to change the name of a couple .lnk "pictures & videos" you had that in 2 places and i dont think that symbol will work with xml.
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
Ok yeah i think it could be a problem the "&" symbol... lemme test the reg if it works i will use it in the icons EXT pkg ;)

Edit: Exactly!!! the symbol dont works even if the LNK has that name the icon is not set... the same issue is in clock & alarms lemme do some rename of that lnks and I will tell you how it works ;) Thansk a lot the REG works like a charm, didnt tried the provxml cause simply i dont trust them ;)

Thanks a lot TPC but tell me how you convert the provxml to REG? manually?
[Windows Mobile] twopumpchump:
no there are tools to convert reg2xml, xml2reg, reg2inf :) the easiest way to do your icon reg is to export it from your device and edit the pic names or change the pics and leave the original names and make a pkg to run at the end of your kitchen.
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
yeah if not... i will have two icons.. default icons and my icons gigi :p

Hi guys :)

Now that you talk about it, I like to move some icons too, but these are tuff ones and I don't like to hide them but use. :D

I've tried a provxml but it won't work, the shortcuts stay in the root but I realy want them on the new location LoL. :)

Anyone has and idea maybe which Manila file number to edit so I can redirect the path? :D;)

Is this the board space issue or?... your office regs are wrong?

YOURS: StartInfo\Start\ Office Mobile 2010\HTC

MUST be: StartInfo\Start\Office Mobile 2010\HTC
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
Hi thanks Que,

It's the board space issue.
[Windows Mobile] caliban2:
hey guys

nice tut! :)

but i wanted to add something which took me 2 days to figure out, it's about the px-size of the icons. while 90x90px works for almost all icons, there's a special case if you're adding certain shortcuts as quicklinks on sense hometab.

some packages include .qtc-files (i.e. htc_music.qtc) which overrule the custom-icon in quicklinks (in startmenu everything is fine). now you can either leave qtc-files out during cooking or replace them with 0byte-files.

but:

if the new icons are 90x90px, they won't show as a quicklink, just a white square. if they are 128x128, they show up.

affected are only some htc-icons (music, people, youtube,...), whereas some others work even with 90x90 and qtc-file removed (opera, adobe,...) - don't ask me why. ^^

again, this is about quicklinks on hometab, not about startmenu.

i hope the above makes sense... :o
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
maybe you can use a startup script to move those files.
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
The Manila shortcuts duplicate using a mortscript but thanks for the suggestion.

They move with icons but in the root of start menu I have them too now without a icon.
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
ah thats bummer...its probably hardcoded in the exe or dll? and loads everytime manila loads?

PS: i dont use manila shortcuts, i just disabled them...:D
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
i wanna clean the god damn programfiles folder... but i guess all the custom apps will chenge in start menu lnks

so i started changing things...

opening a lnk i saw this

27#"\Windows\HTCFootprint.exe"

27# what is that for?
[Windows Mobile] twisted:
hi,

i think its the number of characters of your link including the "" (quotes) and space (if there is any)

"\Windows\HTCFootprint.exe" = 27 characters

the # sign is just a delimeter

but i may be wrong.

you can checkout this thread for more info.

[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
cool! thanks a lot! :)
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
Yeah "shorcutenabled" =dword:0 but that's not what I want. :rolleyes::)
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Yeah, what twisted said, but you don't really need to count bytes. I guess it's 'good form' or whatever to lead off with the right number of bytes after the '#," but you can just put a 1 there and it doesn't cause any problems. I use sk shortcut manager, and a lot of times that's what it does.
[Windows Mobile] indagroove:
Yes you do. But you also want to take the shortcuts, put them in an EXT package and use an app.dat file to move them to the desired folder.
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
Ah! Smart thinking there Groove!:D
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
Twopumpchump suggested me the same, copying the shortcuts from device.

Thanks, I'm going to give it a try and report back if it works. :)
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
It's fixed, attached the package if anyone is interested.

Thanks a lot. :)

delete Anrufe/calls folder from startmenu

hi guy´s, i´ve got a question:

how to delete the calls/anrufe folder from startmenu?

delete this line from initflash.dat?

Directory("\Windows\Startmenü\Programme"):-Directory("Anrufe")

or mess with the mxipupdate_projectdefault_a_000.provxml

(don´t want to do that)

or can it be done with a simple custom ext with something like this in it:

REGEDIT4

[HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Anrufe]

"Redirect"=-

(this one didn´t work for me, have tried it:o)

steph
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Just comment it out in initflashfiles.dat (add a ";") to the beginning. And don't be a wuss, remove any operations in the provxml's (the less stuff going on in provxml's, the faster first boot is, anyway). Leave the stock one in your oem, and put the modified one in an EXT so it over-writes the stock one.
[Windows Mobile] seeM_ZA:
Hahaha :) Sorry I just laughed so hard when you said "don't be a wuss". But I believe what he says is true, I've converted all my provxml reg entries to app.reg and busy converting initflashfiles.dat to .mscr. So far so good.
[Windows Mobile] variosteph:
just started cooking a rom with ";" before the line... thanks

yep, you could call me a wuss :D i´m quite a noob cook, just stripping all things out of my rhodium rom i don´t want to use (which seems to be almost everything) and provxml´s seems to be a nightmare!:p

EDIT the ";" doesn´t work , so let´s start converting the provxml...

EDIT 2, deleting the line in the provxml just change the icon to the old one, not delete the whole folder

another idea?
[Windows Mobile] seeM_ZA:
Just deleting the line or putting ";" before the line always worked for me.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Don't put the semi-colon in quotes.
[Windows Mobile] variosteph:
i don´t put the semicolon it quotes,

that´s the line i deleted ( ; ) in initflash.dat:

;Append dat file...

;***PROJECTDEFAULT_A***

Directory("\Windows\Startmenü\Programme"):-Directory("Tools")

Directory("\Windows\Startmenü\Programme"):-Directory("Multimedia")

Directory("\Windows\Startmenü\Programme"):-Directory("Messaging")

;Directory("\Windows\Startmenü\Programme"):-Directory("Anrufe")

Directory("\Windows\Startmenü\Programme"):-Directory("Outlook")

is it the right one?

i deleted the line in the provxml in projektdefault_a too.

steph
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
Yup having a semi-colon will not process that line in app.dat or initflashfiles.dat.
[Windows Mobile] variosteph:
thanks ai6908,

but that does not remove the folder "anrufe" from startmenu, it´s the wrong line i guess. there must be another line i can´t find. i attach my initflash.dat, maybe someone will be so kind to have a look at it, or give me a another hint.

wbr

steph
[Windows Mobile] twisted:
hi,

you still have this line in your initflashfiles.dat

Hey guys. Could any one help me with this? I want the settings icon in the middle. Now i have this reg:

hi,

to arrange the icons/folders in the start menu, add this line in your registry:

"ItemPosition"=dword:000000xx

sample:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Today]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Today.png"

Move the settings icon to where you want. Then go to the reg and get the rank from there! Rank determines where the icon will be in the comb;)

Tried that already, but it dosnt work.

[Windows Mobile] derliebewolf:
Hi guys!

I am trying to use this for some days/weeks now but without any luck at all. First I tried to modify the mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml wich gave some success...but not all worked.

So I deleted nearly all entries (in programs, not settings) except for the folders and tried to import the enties via mortscript in the cooking process. Well that did not work and I now the reason. But all default apps are still present in the start menu. Did I miss something here?

Thanks,

derliebewolf
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
There are basically 4 places where start links are sent to the start menu in a stock EVK: 1. app.dat files. 2. initflashfiles.dat. 3. Provxml's. 4. Widgets. You need to check individual packages for app.dat files. Check you dump and collect all the provxml's; edit the ones you need, and put them in an EXT. Use the initflashfile.dat editor to edit it (actually, use the built-in editor for everything-it's very good, and will edit read-only files). The widgets require a little more work to move the shortcuts where you want them. I made my own package that installs them with a mortscript instead of widgetinstaller.exe.
[Windows Mobile] derliebewolf:
thanks! So I checked the provxmls obviously. Do those system packages (I'm talking about messaging, calendar, etc) have *.dat as well? did not now that. Where do I have too look? And what about the widgets? When I leave the whole widget packeges out (which I am doing) this should not effect the rom, right?

Oh, and BTW: EVK is nice, but I am using osKitchen. I gues this applies anyway...

Thanks for the help buddy!
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Any sys shortcuts that aren't sent to the start menu (or startup or \my documents\templates) by provxml's or the widgetinstaller are sent there with initflashfiles.dat. This is a different file than the app.dat's, and it's in the oem folder. Just check your \windows folder, and you'll see it in it's compiled form. It has all of the app.dat lines in it in your \windows folder, but in the oem, it won't have all the lines that come from EXT's.
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
Probably your settings are getting overwritten by a provxml...did you check that?
[Windows Mobile] steff195:
Hi guys, I cook my own roms for Omnia and as you see from the attached pictures I managed to change most of the icons, even the settings ones, (by replacing icons in base_dpi, by modifying SecCPLMain.cpl or by modifying directly the .dll's) but there are some left though in Start Menu, for example Messaging (see 3rd picture), that I didn't manage to replace their icons and they look kinda bad.

My entry from initflashfiles.dat referring to Messaging looks like this

I've read the tutorial in here but I'm kinda messed up... so is any of you guys willing to help me? What should I do exactly?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
You set the icons in the registry, not in intiflashfiles.dat.

EDIT: A lot of it seems to be links to Sense Tabs... how do I get rid of those?
[Windows Mobile] Hso3f:
If you mean people, calendar, music and footprints, search in the app.reg in manila core\040C\

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]

"IsShortcutEnable"=dword:1

and change value to 0
[Windows Mobile] smithisize:
Thanks, that did it!

One more question:

I realize that moving the position of an icon is the comb has something to do with "Rank"

However... the numbers/values seem random to me. Could someone please explain to me what rank would place an icon where?

Thanks

Regards

Smith
[Windows Mobile] Hso3f:
An item that specifies a larger value for "Rank" will be displayed before items with a lower value. If this item is not specified, the Rank will be set to 0.

Otherwise you can use "ItemPosition" and remove "Rank" like Twisted said in post 23

hi,

im noob,having elfin trying to cook my rom with the os kitchen.i want to have the default icons present in the newer builds in the cooked rom not my own icons,but the icon of original 6.1 appear,so to have the default icons of newer builds what i must change ??

plz advice,
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
You want the old-style icons? That's pretty easy. Open up Base_DPI_96 (or whatever the resolution is) and delete all of the Start_Icon_xxx.png files. It saves ram and memory. I do this, although I use os builder and I have it set up so that the files are excluded from my builds, and so I don't have to manually remove the icon files. You'll also want to delete this provxml: mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml. It has all the reg keys for loading the icons. I personally like the look of the older, native icons that are included in the .exe's and .cpl's. I stopped using the 6.5 start menu a while ago, anyway, so all that stuff is just useless crap anyway.

I don't know if os kitchen has an exclude list, but here's a full list of the sys icons:

And here's the useless wallpapers:

Read the first post of this thread, and then follow the instructions. It's very easy. Or, get SK Shortcut manager and use it to set the icons.

One day when I plugged out my headphones from my phone it didn't seem to notice it. I couldn't get any sound from the speakers, and when I plugged the headphones back in nothing happend, like it didn't notice they were gone. I rebooted my phone several times and still no sound from the speaker. Even the radio (which you need headphones to use), works when I disconnect them (except no sound of course).

It's probably a software bug. Any ideas?

UPDATE: It seems to work now

[Omnia II General] Greennumberthree:
Headphone jack

answer is here

I've been having headphone problems for a while, (it kept asking me what was plugged in with nothing plugged in). Up to now, it didn't hurt too much, but today it finally made my Omnia II unusable and I had to put my SIM in an old backup phone.

In the past, I've tried sticking a needle on the physical contact to "exercise" it, and putting some WD-40 and alcohol on it with a toothpick. Today, however, nothing worked. I ended up taking the phone apart, (since it was unusable I figured I had nothing to lose), and found that the headphone jack is a single component with a ribbon cable and connector to the main board. I found an online store selling this headphone part via Google and have ordered it, (I had to buy three as that was the minimum--if they work, I'm keeping them all as future replacements, sorry). I won't say what store because I don't know them or if this will fix the problem, but if they deliver and it works, I'll re-post with details. I really hope this fixes the problem because I've spent a *lot* of time and money getting this phone up to replacing my old Palm TX and was expecting it to be around for a few more years...no other mobile OS does what I want right now and I'm totally fine with the O2 hardware/software other than this bloody headphone issue.

I received my new headphone jacks yesterday and replaced the one on my phone. And...it works!

The new jacks are a different design. The "plug-in" sensor is at the top now and the whole thing is a lot tighter. Also, when I plug something in, (I tried headphones and a headset--not TV out), it no longer asks you what's plugged in. It seems to auto-sense the type of plug fine.

It's only day 1, but my phone is usable again. Yay!

The store I bought the jacks from is globaldirectparts.com. I had to buy three jacks, but it only ran about $20US. I'm keeping the others as spares in case this ever happens again as I plan to hold on to this phone for a few more years, (bought off contract).

After getting the back off and exposing the internals, I was able to just lift the top edge of the main boards with a popsicle stick use a small, flat screwdriver to unplug the old jack. I then slid the new jack in, made sure it was lined up, (it does this pretty much on it's own--not much wiggle room), and pushed down on the board until it "clicked" on.
[Desire General] Crunch77:
First off, I'm not referring to the pink tint issue mentioned in the stickys.

Problem:

I find that the display of my Desire looks very nice, but not very true to the original colours. It looks like the Vivid setting on TVs, that people like so much, but which brings "wrong" colours. Red or red'ish colours look much to vibrant. Faces in pictures have way to much red in them as well.

Any way to calibrate the colours? Is my Desire defective, or is it a general thing with the Desire? :confused:

EDIT: Forgot to mention, everything looks correct on my HTC Magic.
[Desire General] Crunch77:
It seems from a few other posters at a different forum, that this is a general problem with the Desire.

Has noone here really not noticed this colour inaccuracy?
