Hi Folks really need some help here!!!
i have managed to hex edit the LG Menu.exe to link to the app i want and have been trying to edit the text in the dll.
every time i install the edited dll on the windows folder the app crashes.
the today buttons don't link to the menu and all if the text dissapeers from the menu.
can reinstall the orig with no probs but really would appreciate a pointer as to what i have done wrong???
have included zips of the orig string and the one i have edited if anyone would have a look i would be very grateful
the only 2 bits i need editing are Video Camera to Video Player, and WMplayer to Audio Manager
can't understand why this keeps failing???
many thanks in advance
Chris
you need to unsign it, edit it and then sign the dll again, otherwise it will not work
do you mean i need to seperately sign the dll?

hi, i think you can add with xml files put into the rom
but i didnt test it.
the way i have done is add the Certificate store registry on the Default.hv
need to add 2 parts.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates\Privileged Execution Trust Authorities\Certificates\<<Your Valu>>
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates\SPC\Certificates\<<Your vallu>>
This can work for me.
Those value shuold exported from the Device which installed your Certificate value. Good Luck

Thank you very much.
I will try it your way
if you are plannning to add the SDK_Certificate in your ROM
you can copy & past my attached reg in default.hv.
(or just look at this for your refference)
this was the one i used.
<some another value in device will be douplecated, i didnt delete it coz of lazy. but it will not have any probems>
I am trying to embed TestCert_Privileged.cer (from SignCode - Smartphone 2003 Privileged Test Signing)
If I use your .reg, can you also send me your .cer so I can re-sign my apps using your .cer?
Thanks

Does anyone know how I can convert png or ico files to dll files so that it can be used with SK Shortcut Manager or PocketTweak to create shortcut icons?
I have been searching online for a method for a long time and it appears that the only way to do so is by using Visual FoxPro. However, I don't have this program and there isn't a trial version i can download. (I don't want to spend money buying a program just to make a few dll files for my shortcuts)
I have also tried some other freewares and trial softwares online but none of them are successful.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Attached here are the 3 icons i would like to turn into dll files. If anyone know where to get them as dll files, that would be great too.
Loook for ResHacher, it is free!

Still not working...
i downloaded the program and used the IconDLL.dll file i got from PHM Tools then i changed the icons inside to the one i want. However, I still can't get it to work despit doing that.
What I did after getting the new .dll file with my icon in is use the shortcut creator program I found here. I tried to read other .dll files and i could see the icon but as soon as I use my own .dll file I made (which I put in the /Windows), it crashes the program. I then tried another program, the Strat Menu programs manager and I still could not read my icon.
I even went through all the post in this forum about shortcuts and tried some of the tricks there. I downloaded Microangelo Librarian and attempted to use IconDLL.dll by adding in my own icons (as vijay suggested in an earlier post), however, according to the advice he gave, that should be it and it should've been easy. This wasn't the case because I couldn't save the file as a .dll file since it said that the file is a read only file or is locked. I then tried save as but that only save it as a lib file.
I have been at this for a whole day now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
** oh and I even tried using SK Shortcut Manager and I still couldn't read the .dll file I made :..(
Hi teresa611
I also use Microangelo Librarian.
what we have to do is just open the program.
1. Drag any icons into blank librarian.
2. Save as *.icl
3. Just rename those *.icl to be *.dll
4. Copy to PPC
5. Enjoy
Hope this help
tried and failed
even tho i changed the name to .dll, when i dragged it into my pda, it's still a librarian file and i was unable to read it. perhaps, i'm doing something wrong if it works for other people.
i'm starting to feel this is more trouble than it's worth. Thanks for the advice tho. If anyone else has any other ideas, please let me know.

For me, I have to put .dll into \Windows; otherwise, it is not work.
In addition, you may try using icon_viewer utility to view those dll in order to ensure it is a work dll.
The attach is icon_viewer. Copy to PPC and run.
Thanks. I'll try it later when I get off work. I really hope it works, cause I'm running out of forums to search
problem solved!!
just to refresh this thread and to give others some info if they're stuck with what I was stuck with. I finallt managed to create .dll files and use them in my pda as shorcut icons.
Instead of using Michelangelo Libarian which I am still confused about, I found this great freeware called "BeCyIconGrabber". It allows you to extract icons from .dll and .exe files and you can also load multiple icons there as save it as .dll.
Thanks again to everyone who tried to help

Any more-advanced-than-Notepad text editor can do the trick...
Just save as Unicode without BOM.

Please explane BOM ?? The tool merges 2 files correcting format opens in hexeditor all with clear instruction PLEASE explane BOM ?
Thanks Swampy395
I know this thread is old. But awesome work as well. Very excellent utility for editing .dats
Also to edit those files with notepad you have to know which format to save it. I tried like that and failed.
So this tool was a lifesaver! Thanks a lot buddy. Only thing I can add is after you use the delete key on your keyboard to delete the FF and FE from the Hexed .dat you click save and you have to give it awhile to finish. Look at the bottom of the program it will say updating network and saving or something.
I know alot of chefs have there own icon sets for thing like the program menus and setting and things. I also no that the settings for these are linked by an "icon.lnk" file to a dll file in the windows directory. I need help trying to edit these icon's, Whether it is through the dll file or there is another round about way.
A play by play would be great, thanks in advanced.
(i have already tried editing through a dll editor and connot seem to find a program that doesn't have an error trying to edit it (everything from wordpad to Resourse explorer to pe editor.)
you can use icon changer http://www.shelllabs.com/
pull the exe file off your device. then load it into icon changer. change the icon then put it back on your device overwriting the old one. this will change the physical icon of that program.
i have used it several times and it works great.

Hello,
See my signature. Just edit the icon.dll with XN Resource Editor. Open icon.lnk with notepad and just give the icon number.
Thanks

You can edit a DLL with reasourse hacker. You just need the UNSIGNER, and MSSIGNER. first you unsign, then you edit and save, then you sign.
simpler than you think. the hard part is looking for graphics
SK Shortcut Manager
SK Shortcut Manager does the trick for me
http://www.s-k-tools.com/index.html?sksmgr/m_sksmgr.html
BUT, it's paid...
Also i've found DLL file with many (400) old school icons (attached with this post).
A little preview: http://www.wenzlaff.de/download/twicon/twicon3.jpg
U can use also your windows DLL files (shell32.dll).
That's the way i manage all my icons
Hope this helped you

I've gotten into the file using a resourse hacker, but how do i sign and unsign?
I don't seem it as an option in any of the menu's so either i'm using the wrong program or i just don't know what i'm doing at all
Edit: and i have already created my icons by hand..... i've got graphics down easy i just have never worked with a dll before..... usually just skinning apps

You could try and take one of the dialer cabs from NRG's addons section or one of the DUSK Roms and decompile the cab, swap around pics, then recompile the cab. Just search for a cab editor. They are all over the place and are easy to figure out, hell, that's how I got started in the 1st place writing apps.
Give that a shot.
Thanks i got resource tuner and WinCE CAB Manager and i modified the files, however on installation of the .cab on my phone it says unsigned app can't install what should i do?

I assume you have unlocked your phone, right?
yup, it is. someone says i have to sign the cab? idk, doesn't sound right. i simply modified a dialer cab that works with some different images.
you have to unsign the .dll files and then resign them after you edit them, otherwise when you make it into a cab, it won't install. I already went through this issue when editing the Devotion dialer in my sig.
