HTC P3600 WMDC Icon

WMDC icon
Installation:
1 - install the attached cab file: "_light" means it only has the full color versions of the icon, low-colour icons have been removed to save space;
2 - remove the pocket pc driver: connect the pocket pc to the computer, right click 'Computer' on the start menu, select Manage, select Device Manager and expand Portable Devices category, right click PocketPC and select Uninstall;
3 - disconnect and reconnect the device to the computer for Vista to reinstall the driver and copy the icon from the Pocket PC
And you're done!
If the old icon is still displayed, reboot.

[070622]UPDATE: black v3, wm6 default today screen
thanks to mrailing for the tutorial on pdaphonehome, plenty of icons for other devices and other info available there.

Works great !!! TY

impecável
Bem haja,
Aprt

Great Work !!!!

unique! a more personalized Trinity and Vista experience

Nice to see some people liked this.
I was having an issue with the Vista cache the other day, a test icon I made was a little bit reluctant about leaving the icon cache, so that I had a mixed icon([email protected] [email protected] [email protected]).
The only way to completely rebuild the Vista icon cache is to change the DPI, reboot, change them back to the original value and reboot again.

Glad you like it
I am glad everyone is benefiting from it. If you are looking for more icons, there are 25 different icons in the original thread.
Glad the information was helpful.

Here's my version of the P3600 with a drop shadow.
Unzip, copy to the \windows folder and reinstall the drivers.

Who has a good looking MDA VARIO II for me please?
And not slid open like my Avatar but cool like the trinity here

Hoho....Really really cool...Great Job!

updated the black icon

Thanks Apoc,
Great job...
nice!

Hey there!
Does this thing work with WM6? I had some troubles with another device using WM6, sync.ico was read only and hidden so could not have been overwritten. Can anyone confirm this works on WM6?

It does work on WM6. You can always overwrite files in ROM, a new 'temporary'(will stay there until hard-reset/deletion) file can be created and it'll be seen as the only one on the device, you may have to use resco explorer or copy via activesync for that tho. And have you followed those steps enumerated on the 1st post? especially the second one.

thanks for so much...

Please help. I have tried everything with no success. I have tried uninstalling, rebooting.
I have Windows Vista x64 and WM6. Somehow windows Vista has a cache of the generic icon somewhere. Where can I delete it? (I have tried the uninstallation of the usb device).

'Touch Settings' Program for Vogue (aka Sprint Touch)

First - thank you to Carlos for his hard work on the original version and now for taking the time to update it for those of us using Sprint's touch. I'm starting this as a separate thread since the new beta version will have many issues unrelated to the original versions.
And, unfortunately, I get to start off with my first issue which occurs upon execution of the program.
A few moments after starting the program I get the follow error message...
System.ArgumentException: An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it cannot be found at Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr() at System.Drawing.Bitmap._InitFromMemoryStream() at System.Drawing.Bitmap..ctor() at TouchSettings.Form1.load PBpictureFromPath()
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And then the error message scrolls off the screen without scroll bar for me to see what else it says...
Upon clicking the "OK" button, the program continues to load to the App Launcher screen.
Upon load, the App Launcher screen is empty. The screenshot, icons, path and program title are not populated.
When I click on the empty box where the screenshot should be located I get the same as as before and the program exits.
I can populate the App name and path fields and can also ad an Icon -- but only for one program. When I save and reset however, the app name, path and icons are not retained.
When returning to the program after the first entry, I continue to receive the same error and the App Launcher screen is again blank.
In Media Hub:
First - the screenshot displayed is from the other version of the Touch screens...with the bluegreen icons -- not yellow. I assume you know that, but just wanted to mention it.
The "Sprint Music" fields default to the ATC Audio Manager which, to my understanding, does not come on the Touch. I've already installed AudioManager so the link worked fine -- but I'd suggest defaulting it to Sprint's Java-based Music ap just like the stock set up (less confusion for noobs)
Sprint TV seems to work as expected.
On Demand also worked as expected.
I changed the settings for On Demand to point to \windows\HTCAlbum.exe, however, and upon re-boot I received the following error when trying to run it from the cube:
The file " cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(and that single quotation mark after the words "The file" is exactly what displays)
Weather appears to display properly. I haven't had a chance to test the auto update feature yet.
On the bright side - the About screen works perfectly. It's just as easy to send Carlos a beer as it was before!
Given that we'll soon have a Vogue forum started I also assume you'll probably want to update the Support Thread to include a link for "Sprint Support"??
Whew. That's all for the first 10 minutes.
THANK YOU CARLOS! Your hard work is appreciated!

My experience is exactly the same on the sprint touch.
Joe

I just wanted to drop in and say thanks for all your work Carlos!

Same problems still having problems with the app loader portion of the settings. The other settings work as they should.

ok well i made custom PNG's for Slingplayer mobile and opera, if anyone needs custom images let me know im makin em. BUt i need the sprint program to implement the images!

the original "Touch Settings" program that you're referring to will work with the Sprint Touch without any problems. You just have to know what you're doing....
Step 1: Download TaskMgr and copy to your phone. Place TaskMgr in the \windows\start menu\programs\ folder of your device.
Step 2: Run the TaskMgr program you just put on your device. Upon opening TaskMgr, a list of running processes will be displayed. You want to terminate the following processes; biotouch.exe, quickdial.exe, mediahubmini.exe and aplauncher.exe. To do this, select each one individually and then tap the "Close" button on the bottom of the screen.
Step 3: Download and install the TouchFlo Alpha cab below.
- 3a: upon successful completion of the installation you will be prompted to "Reset" your device. Click "NO".
4. navigate to the \windows\startup folder and delete any new links that were created.
5. navigate to the \windows\start menu\programs folder and delete "touchflo"
6. Download and install the Touch Settings Cab below. Again, at the completion of the installation it will prompt you to restart your device. SELECT NO!. You are not ready to reset your device just yet.
7. Now that you've killed the 4 processes, installed the touchflo alpha cab and the touch settings cab, we're almost done. Navigate to the \windows\startup folder and delete the mediahubmini link.
8. Soft Reset Device.
9. Launch "Touch Settings" program from the Start Menu.
10. BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES TO THE CUBE CLICK "SAVE". WAIT APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE AND THEN SOFT RESET AGAIN.
11. Run Touch Settings again and start customizing.
Hope this helps.
Later

Hi guys and thx Haggar and others for bug reports - I think I may have some theories as to what's going wrong.
I made a new test build for you to try out - the CAB is attached below. (REMOVED, SEE LATER POST FOR UPDATED VERSION) Please install and let me know how you get on. It should create a log file called log.txt in the app directory which you can attach to your post in case of any problems:
QUESTIONS:
1. Does it now work?
2. If not, what happens?
3. If not, please attach the log file.
4. When you go to the "About" screen, it says "Detected Device:" at the top - what is the detected device?
@utexas - I'm not sure what your instructions are referring to, but please ignore these peeps, as it would be best for us to try to get the app working properly with the Sprint without resorting to loading older versions of the TOuchFLO software onto your devices.
Finally, does anybody have a Sprint that they HAVENT yet installed Touch Settings onto? If so, please could somebody zip up a copy of \Windows\MediaHubMini.exe for me from your Sprint device and send it to me? This should be BEFORE installing any Touch Settings software, as this patches over the executable, and I'd like a copy of the NEW MediaHubMini.exe that comes with your device, so I can see if I need to release a new patch. If anyone has recently hard reset their device, then the file will be on your device unaltered.
Thanks for the nice comments peeps.
Carlos

Here you go Carlos. I have never installed Touch Settings on my Sprint Touch.
What exactly is Touch Settings? Could someone tell me, or point me to the original thread? Thanks.

Thanks Carlos... I've attached the log.txt file... still generating errors... looking for bitmaps (brns) that it cannot load... example... looking for \windows\AL_03.brn... this file is indeed located in the indicated location so not sure what the problem is...I tried to make and save a change to the launcher and now I get no images in the 3x2 launcher.

same here. but what i figured out about "no images in the launcher" is the path are all set to "\\" instead of just one "\". so i use memmaid to fix it in the registry and the cube is fine again.

OK everyone
Thanks for all the log files etc. It's now very clear what the issue is - simply that the newer version of the touch uses BRN files instead of PNG files for its icons! BRN is a proprietary format, basically a BMP with header information removed and some other changes; there's information elsewhere on this site about it.
So... ...to get Touch Settings working on the Sprint, I'll have to build BRN support into the program, which is going to involve:
1. Studying the file format and finding out more info. ([HREF="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325424"]this thread[/HREF] is a good starting point)
2. OR approaching the author of the BMP2BRN program to ask if he'd allow me to use his source code inside Touch Settings.
....if anyone can help with either of these, please do! Touch Settings is written in vb.net CF.
Until then, might I suggest you go about trying to use .PNG files instead for the time being, and report back to the forum to let us know if they work instead of BRN files! I will release a new build of Touch Settings asap which side-steps the error messages and displays blank icons for the time being, just so as you can use the program.. ..it will work fine, it just won't display the icons for you!

Mark, thanks ever so much for this - will be very helpful! Original thread about Touch Settings - and what it is - here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556

log file...
My log file also had the same info. Thanks for all your hard work Carlos. A friend of mine also has a touch that does not have any settings program installed. Let me know if you need any other files.

lol i had a post earlier about PNG and BRN files. Basically i want to be able to just chang the icons text and path. I dont care about the BG color, how how the cube rotates. I made my own CUstom PNG's for the 3X2 launcher, and i made a custom one for the media hub. I made them all the same size on accident, but for the sprint touch do i need to convert the PNG's to BRN files then where do i save them in my phones directory?
anyone have the dimensions for the 3X2 and the media hub. I made them all
119 by 105. ?? Is there an easy way to change the size to the size for the media hub because i believe that is the size for the 3X2. Any help is appreciated!

Carlos,
I see from reading another thread you've already got the source code for "BrnConvert"... does this meet your needs or do you need anything else?
Let us know what we can do to aid your efforts... 1.29c was close but I had to clean up my registry to remove all the double slashes in the image and program paths and obviously the brn issue you noted...
Again thanks for you great work on this...
Everyone else... don't forget to buy this man a beer at his Fatattitute.com web site

is there any new news on a possible fix?

Is version 1.29c worth installing at this point? Any recommendations??

Hello everyone - I think I may be nearly there!
I've certainly got BRN support working on my original touch, anyway, so let's see if this new build works for you.
CAB file attached below, usual installation instructions apply. (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556)
Please let me know if the icons are displaying correctly, and any other feedback re: usage. Should be the correct colour mediahub logo too!
Carlos
PS: Sprint owners, for completeness, you may want to copy the newer mediahubmini.exe into your \Windows\ directory (attached) as my prog overwrites it with a slightly older version. My tests have shown this shouldn't be a problem, but it's up to you. Note to older Touch users: do NOT use this newer version of mediahubmini.exe you will run into problems with your touch screen.

so we install the cab then just replace the EXE file after.
also carlos, if i want to make my own icons
1. can they be the same size for the media hub and 3X2
2. Do they need to be BRN style, i made them PNG (but i can convert to BMP then to BRN.)
3. Where do i save them on my phone.
4. i have the sprint touch!
thanks carlos

SLCPF Bug - keeps asking for Version 1-00.swf (Cube - TouchFLO)? Can't get it to work

guys, been searching the forum, but could not find a solution.
tried the UNO version and K's easy install cab, but I keep getting the following error, when trying to launch the cube by sliding my finger from bottom to top: "error: Unable to open URL: /Program Files/SCLPF/Version 1-00.swf"
edited the touchflo config - so it finds the flashlite to "/Windows/saplaywm.exe"
so that seems to be ok.
I use a german rom, so maybe it's the folder structure?
I would be really happy to receive a hint by someone in the know.
thx in advance,
mr. t.

saplaywm.exe should be pointed to your directory in program files/ flashlite something like that.

appelton - sry, I don't really understand what you mean by "saplaywm.exe should be pointed..."?
Do you mean saplaywm.exe should reside in the Windows directory?
I think it must be something different, I just copied the "saplaywm.exe" to that respective dir - to no avail.
Everytime I slide my finger from bottom to top, to start the cube, it keeps asking for the "Version 1-00.swf".
Any other ideas?
thx

Change Version 1-00.swf to StartMusic.swf. You're using someone elses cab which is why have you have this basic problem. You might want to use my cab instead next time.

..do a hard reset..

Re-install the missing programs.

both answers are wrong.
i found the solution, just install the following cab and the start-program display is set back to standard!

does this cab do anything else but repairing the start-display? I don't want to mess up any other settings of my system which is a 1.40.162.2 (49069) GER Vodafone

How to change the color of "Windows"??

Hello,
I got my HD2 two days ago, and I have been enjoying it by modding it little by little to my liking.
Well, when I turn it on, I get the first splash screen with "HTC quieltly brilliant", then, immediately after, I get the "Windows" screen, which is orange. Is it possible to change this orange color to some kind of green color?
Of course, I can live with an orange "Windows", but I would prefer a green one.
I did some search, but I have not found a solution yet...

Maybe http://www.inspectmygadget.com/2007/08/08/windows-mobile-change-your-devices-boot-screen/ will help you a bit further, if you have a solution please commit it.

I think you can't. This is the Windows boot screen. You can change HTC boot screen, but you can't change Windows boot screen.... [I'm sure you can, but] I don't know how ??

Thank you for the link, which gave me some idea.
In the meantime, I found the following thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501186
So, it seems possible.
Anyway, I downloaded the green screen file from the thread above. Then, I renamed the file to "welcomehead.192.png", and tried to copy the file in Windows folder or directory. With "File Explorer", I cannot overwrite the file. With "Total Commander", I can copy the file, but, what is strange is that it does not overwrite!! whereas the file of the same name is there.. In either case it doen't work..
There is something I don't understand...
Maybe, you cannot do this because the file in in the rom... but from the link you gave me, as well as from the thread avove, it seems possible...
PS: I just tried to do this with "Voyager", but, Voyager doesn't even see the file "welcomehead.192.png" in the Windows directory. (Of course, I checked "Show Hidden Files" in the options of "Voyager"..)

Actually, it is very easy to change this "Windows" screen.
There are registry values pointing to "welcomehead.png" and "welcomehead.192.png" in the following location.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen
By changing these values, it is possible to use different image files

Use Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 (you need MS framework 3.5 first installed) to change this easily.
