Wait Cursor

Hello everybody
I searched 10 times this forum but i could not find it
IS there a way to change animated wait cursor ?? in HTC wizard ??
I found this program http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14638&associateid=162
but i don't think it will work with WM5
thanks,
DNO

yes there is a way. the icon is in a dll. so you need a dll editor. there´s a topic here somewhere in the forum. i read it the other day. just can´t remember where. Just look for dll editor or something like that. i think vijay555 changed his once to a hamster. just keep looking.

Yes there sure is.
It is in GWES.EXE and can be edited using a resource editor (google for Resource Hacker)
There are 16 bitmaps in the Bitmap section, running from 1024 to 1039 for QVGA and from 1040 to 1055 for VGA.
QVGA resolution in 32x32, VGA is 44x44
So change them with the resource editor and copy back GWES.EXE to
your device.
Cheers

thanks tweakradje
got it and I sure knwo how to change pics in dll, and exe
thank you very much

I found only gwes.exe.0409.mui in /windows

I think you need to extract it from a ROM.

the file gwes.exe does exist. i can see it if i´m in resco file explorer. but i can´t copy it. i always get an encryption error. and if i go through activsync i can´t see it. then i only see the one you see. with the 0409 on it.

Been looking into this for a while here, but have had no luck in WM5. I had this great Cartman eating Cheesy-Poofs animation in WM2003 that was so much fun.
Both "gwes.exe.0409.mui" and "gwes.exe" contain the icons that make up the animation for the busy/wait cursor.
Using Resource Hacker I made the change for those 16 icons in gwes.exe.0409.mui. Finally got it to overwrite the existing file in the /windows folder by creating a cab that replaced it after a restart. Unfortunately, even though the new file is now where the old one was, I'm still getting the old animation.
Did the same with gwes.exe using Resource Hacker, but for the life of me, I cannot find anyway of overwriting the file on my PPC. When I tried to overwrite by using the cab file install method, I get a message that says the install was unsuccessful because I didn't have permission to modify the file. I wish there were some way to overwrite the file while it was resetting, or even after a hard reset. I spent quite a bit of time trying to find a way to replace it via the Kitchen Rom avenue, but I couldn't do it.
Any ideas?

Hi,
You only need to replace \windows\gwes.exe.0409.mui in this case (rename the old one first) Then after a soft reset the new animation will show.
Mui must be activated though. Check
HKLM\MUI
Enable dword 0x1
Syslang dword 0x409
Cheers

Thanks tweakradje for the tip to rename gwes.exe.0409.mui first. I removed the read-only and system attributes, then renamed it to .old and it accepted that! Then copied my new file over, and I've got my Cartman back!! Wahooo!

Nice to hear. Can you share it here?
I am always interested.
Cheers

I did that and was able to replace the file with the new one checked the reg settings, I also removed the gwes.exe.0409.old file and I still get the old animation. am I missing something?
do I need to edit the gwes.exe file too?

Hi,
Check in your registry if the MUI values are present and that SysLang is set to 0x409. Of course the file must be in \windows.
No need to change gwes.exe if MUI is working.
Cheers

Seems that with my WM5 it does not want to work with the Reg OK and the MUI files changed. It is still going with the icons in GWES.EXE and I cannot copy it from my device to change those icons and EVEN if I could, I would have to copy it back!
Any ideas how to copy over my GWES.EXE?

Ive got a question about using ResHacker...what file format do the icons have to be in? Ive got them in .ico also I am trying to put a icon to an application that doesnt currently have one do you know how I can do this in Res Hacker
In SKtools: I'm having problems with the icon format as well...any idea what format its looking for?
I guess I spoke to soon about them running perfect

How to
In ResHacker open file u want to change the icon of, then hit the action button, and then replace icon. However, with some .exe or .dll files u cannot change there icons.

any help on this one. I have shortcut creator and for some reason when i point it to the Lnk file then to the ico file it just makes a duplicate and renames the old .bak. the icons don't change?
I tried the sk iconmaker and it won't show any of my ico files in the folder.
how can you change icons?

Well, You could do it manually. To change the icon of all shortcuts download a registry editor (PHM RegEdit is free and great), Then goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inkfile\defaulticon.Edit the string value "default" to the path to the icon you whant all shortcuts to have. The path must lead to a exe, dll or ico file.

do you mean column 7's "D Ref"?

the conceipt of ref. folder is:
while porting a new xip, a good idea is to open a exist xip to see how it allocated. that's so called "ref. folder".
to open it, please click "SEL Ref Folder" (step 3)

Gr8 tool ... was looking for the english version since i cant figure out ur ver 1.0 ... so let me get it straight ... I have open my 19400 xip that is from another rom as the Work Folder, then I open my Ref folder (ori XIP frm my dev rom) then i can see lots of yellow with red addess so i presume that are all conflicts addresses.
So my question now, if i just change all the conflicts addresses (red) to the exact addresses of the Ref the yellow red will disappear, so is that the right way to do the porting?
What do i do with the dll that dont have a ref? leave it in yellow & red?
How bout the other tabs in the XIP address tool? what are those for?
When I click on Virtual Base tab, I could see lots of red lines under dll (ie: trueffs.dll) what does it mean?
Thanks

ok 2 questions
1. the filesys.exe wont change is when i click modify and its the only file that wont do it the rest work perfectly

Dutch file for manila 3d translation

Hello,
I am looking for the manila file that contains the dutch translation of the calendar text. Right now I see IDS_TOMORROW on the touchflow3d calendar while it should say "Morgen". I have found a thread about the german manila file, but not the dutch one. Does anyone know which file I need to edit to add this translation?
Edit: ok, found the file and fixed the translation. You need to add the following:
<trans-unit id="IDS_TOMORROW">
<source>Morgen</source>
</trans-unit>
to the file /windows/7a56f756_manila
David

I also have the IDS_TOMORROW problem but I cant file the "7a56f756_manila" file in the "file /windows/" folder.
Is it the wrong file?

Nope, it is the right one. Are you using Resco explorer? you might have Resco set to hide hidden or rom files. Change that in the settings of resco and you will see the file.

What is the right way to change the file?
I can't get it opened...
thanks

Why dont you just change the language of the TFLO3d.
I run a german rom and an English tflo3d
Dimond TF3D Config did that for me.

Hi,
My TF3D is already Dutch, but for calendar appointments for tomorrow (in Dutch, tomorrow = "morgen"), it displays IDS_TOMORROW.

It took me a while to get it done as well. The best way to do it is to get the file on your desktop system, edit it, and then replace the original. You will probably have to do that through the SD. First copy the file to the SD card, then drag it to your desktop. Edit it. Save it back to SD card and then using resco file explorer replace the original file.
If you can't get it done, let me know, I can upload my manila file so you can replace the original one.
David

thanks a lot !
it worked

Do you know what is the file for Spanish?
Thanks

translate Manila2D.exe.0409.mui
Hello
I have copied the file Manila2D.exe.0409.mui to my computer from the phone,
it has been translated into Swedish by Reshacker.
But now when I try to copy it back to the phone in the windows directory.
can not,
can not overwrite the file or delete it. Someone who knows how to do this? phone is a Samsung i900 omnia
Thanx // wiper

you could try to copy to storage card and then use for example Resco Explorer on your phone to overwrite the old file in windows directory...

Hi I cant even get the file to my desktop also have a i900. I would really like your translation in swedish. How do I get the "manila2d.409.mui" to desktop? Copy it and put in to a folder, but it dosent show in windows, on the desktop......
Would you share your's if you got it to work?
