my latest welcomehead.96 Splash screens (Added more portrait screens)

I just Upgraded to sprint new ROM 2.17 , it has HTC logo in black background 1st and sprint animated logo in black 2nd , then comes this green windows mobile logo, I hate it I Made this windows mobile splash screens to match the rest, tought to share them with you guys. Pick whichever you like and drag the welcomehead.96.png to storage card or my document in ur PDA then use resco explorer or total commander to move it to windows directory, allow the new file to overwrite the original one.
Note: dont try to move the image directly from your computer to your device windows directory, it wont overwrite the old one due to windows protected files.
I suggest that you backup the original welcomehead.96.png somewhere in your pda in case you want to use it again one day without hard reseting.

It looks amazing, can you do the same image without the windows mobile and windows sign ? (my idea is to create today theme from it)

so, what's the trick for moving it over w/o resco or tcmd?

is there any way to change start icon ?

hi guys
is there any way to change start icon ?
icon that can be replaced with the orignal start icon !
WM6

no reply !

as far as i know only with programs like wisbar advance.

there is a DLL you have to edit..i cant remember its name..i will PM you once i remember

pm me it as well,

me too !!!!!

all right here is is how its done
extract the file shell32.exe from rom (or copy it from the windows folder of your device), there is the flag icon included, replace it with our own icon (resolution 21 x 18 pixels) and save the file with a new filename. copy it to your device in windows folder and change the registry settings "HKLM\init\Launch50" to the new filename. restart your device.
hope it works..

There is No Shell32.exe file in the windows directory on the phone. ????

Bump..Bump..

If anyone does manage to do this, can you post here what you did and maybe even the modified .dll file?
Thanks!

lolz you didnt think it could be extracted easily...First you have to Dump the ROM and then convert the module using package tool..lolz..i thought maybe this much detail is not required..

Sure sounded easy enough -- didn't say dump rom. I have some software that will take apart an .exe file. If I had the file. Its not there in the windows folder of my device.

shell32.exe
i extracted this from the htc wm6 x7500 rom it should be the same but the res might be double cause the x7500 is 640x480 if this does not work point me to where your rom is and i will dump it and post the file

could someone suggest a resource editor to make the changes, apparently Resource Hacker won't get the job done.

Deck1
Deck2
Just copy the pegcards.96 to your windows directory or install the cab file

Deck 2 works like a charme
Thanks
Can someone see if deck 1 works to?

Gee...what made you try out Deck 2 over Deck 1 first?
But yeah...I'll try both of them....

lollll it's nice idée, thank you very much

I dropped the dll in my windows folder and then even restarted the phone but it was no good.
I noticed that the current dll in windows is pegcards.dll and not pegcards96.dll will that have something to do with it.
Maybe I have a different version of solitaire.
I'm using a T-Mobile Wing with Aserg's Rom v12

thankssssssssssssss

I have these on my fuze and enjoy these greatly, but one quick question. Is there anyway to get the cards separated just a hair? You know like once they are flipped face up.
For example in the top pick. The 4th row from the left, the queen, jack. ten. Is there anyways to get the cards separated just a tad more so you can see the under lying cards better? In this case the queen and jack symbols.

Much better then the standard.
Keep'm coming!
Do you have an tutorial ready yet?

Any chance of getting a VGA version? I like deck2

Can you post a VGA pegcards.dll or PM it to me i will try when i get time
Also someone asked how this was done well you need a few tools all availible on this forum (Unsigner,signer,reshacker,search for file suite
1:
Remove any Attributes from the Dll you want to edit ie.. read only,hidden ect..
This can be done easily in windows by right clicking the file and unticking all the file attribute boxes
2:
Next you must Unsign the file you want to edit! Just go into the Unsign dir and drop the file over UnSigner.exe.
A Command Prompt Window will popup for a short time, saying the file is now unsigned! (if this fails go back to stage 1)
3:
Now you can edit the file make your changes to the Graphics or Text.
4:
Now you must resign the file open siggner.exe. Then choose the file you edited and take the "SDKSamplePrivDeveloper" Certificate.
Press "Start sign process" a text file should be created with the name of the file you just edited ,Read this text file to make sure the file you edited was signed successfully
5:
Remember to replace the attributes (read only,ect...) for the file you edited make sure that you do this stage last and not before trying to sign the file or your signing will fail
Thanks to schreda for putting together all you need in one package

I have Pm'd the author of WM Longlife (before you ask) but he can't remember which device he took the screenshot from.
I have found the Office Mobile and Games Icons quite easily and used them in my WM6.1 menu screen as per post #9 of this thread but I can't find the others.
I guess it may be that the folder icons are not on the Topazas standard, in which case is it possiblefor me to import them if someone uploads them onto here?
Many thanks.

im searchin' these icons,too. Can some post the path to the "System Tools" Icon please.

The icons are inside the shellres.dll. You need to edit that dll with a resource editor to change them.
dwizzy130

Thanks Dwizzy but I'm afraid that doesn't mean very much to me - I'm not very teccy.
I've looked in the Windows folder an the dll you mention doesn't appear. (there are some with similar names)
When I created the Office Mobile and Games folders as per the thread I referred to the icons appeared automatically as there was an icon.lnk in the folders. When using explorer though, these .lnk files are no longer visible.
I just tried to create a new .lnk file in a folder called Applications but the files dissapeared afer I rebooted!
I'm just fumbling around really so if you can give some more detailled guidance that would be kind. Thanks.

Well the icon.lnk is just a shortcut pointing to the actual icon resource inside the shellres.xxx.dll (Or other dlls). For example, inside the icon.lnk for the Games folder:
1#shellres.dll,-8229
That's all it is. It tells the folder what dll to look in and the -8299 refers to the exact resource number.
Also, are you using WM6.1 or WM6.5?
If you are using 6.5 then there is a much easier way to do this....
dwizzy130

I'm using WM6.1 (When I saw all the comments on here from people that had upgraded I decided it wasn't worth the hassle!)
Are you able to tell what the resource numbers are for the icons in question then?
Thanks.

Not sure if it helps, but I attached all icons that are stored in the shellresxxx.dll file. You should find at least the icon files for the folders inside.
For creating shortcuts, use Resco File Explorer or another free file explorer.

Thanks for the reply BeeGee but I think those Icons come from WM6.5 and I'm using 6.1.
Do you remember that the reference for the Games Folder Icon is: shelres.dll,-8229. Its the equivalent for the folders in question that I'm after.
I also don't have a file simply called shelres.dll. I have three called:
shellresapps.192.dll
shellresapps.96.dll
shellresapps.dll.0409.mui
I've tried using three different resource editors but none will find the phone in the directory tree and I therefore cant get access to the files. I also can't copy the files to my PC because they are protected.

been searching for these icons for a while. there you go...

[SOLVED] searching for an image in kitchen=no luck??? [dialer keypad image]

i have a bug on my rom because of an image.
the image is on the dial pad screen.
im searching for the image of the button to make the dial keypad/keyboard popup/down?
(ill be able to supply a screenshot later but not atm)
whats the image name and where can it be found in my evk?
cheers dudes, muchly appreciated
Rn

Did you check in your phone canvas package? If it's not visible in there it may be in one of the .dlls like phcan.dll or phcanrc.dll (I can't remember their exact names), but I'm pretty sure it's an image that you can see if you open up your phone canvas package. If it's in a .dll, you can use a program like Rezhack to open and edit .dlls.

Anything like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10697671#post10697671
If this is the same issue I have then I believe its the .dlls phcanhtc.dll & phcanrc.dll that need modifying, however I don't know how to nor have I had any help in how....
The images are 'Dialer_Contact_down.png' & 'Dialer_Contact_up.png' and should be in the phonecanvas package.

to edit dll's you need 'ResHacker' (resource hacker)
quick tutorial:
drag and drop the dll OR exe you want to edit onto the ResHacker.exe and it will open. everything inside the dll OR exe will be shown and you can edit it, eg icons
select the icon and right click
now replace resourse with your custom icon
*the number on the folder is the icon number - not the number on the icon
to make your own icons i suggest you use 'IcoFX'
install IcoFx and open it.
got to TOOLS/BATCH PROSESS
add images to that you want as icons
*dont use transparent images, it will turn out crap
select 48x48 and XP Colours
save
now go to TOOLS/RESOURCE EDITOR
click the 'add icon' and add the 'new' icons
now save but put .dll at the end of what ever you name it as
this creates a dll with your custom icons
cba explaining the rest but if ya realy wana know - pm
Rn

update
found it
to save you editing them:
Rn
(no dll's need modifying for this btw just thought id mention it, ive searched the dlls mentioned and none contain icons)
(infact i searched all the dlls in the canvas folder )
BIG thanks!

OK, so what does your dialer look like now? Is there no dialpad icon at all now?
I understand how reshacker works, however I don't think its Icons that need editing in the .dll's - its other stuff?
I have lived with the annoying cut-off for a while now but would be keen to see it fixed....
