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.

Please, how to rename the gwes.exe.040C.mui.
I try under explorer and Resco explore, I can't, when I change properties of files, it came back to system and read only.
Thx.

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?

These themes are in the file:
Windows_Black.tsk
Windows_Black_2.tsk
Windows_DarkBlue.tsk
Windows_DarkBlue_2.tsk
Windows_Green.tsk
Windows_Green_2.tsk

Hi Molski,
thanks for all the good stuff you publish but I think you attached
the wrong zip. It won´t install the WM5 themes instead it installs
the Molski.Biz StartUp Manager!
On your website I couldn´t find the WM5 themes cab.
Could you please attach the real deal because I am really looking
forward to some new colors.
Thanks in advance!
FREIMAURER

Hmm.

Sorry guys, will add the right cab in a hour.

I downloaded the file and it works like it should. No problems at all with extracting the zip archive.
Inside the zip archive is a CAB file, copy that to your Wizard and execute it.

Hi lifendet,
you are probably using the windows xp integrated file compression technique.
Check here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Compression-tools/
for a free zip tool which can handle zipped (compressed) files better.
I use winrar (not free) for extracting files and did not have any problems with
Molski´s WM5 Themes.
Hope this helps!

I always use WinRAR. After the trial period is over you only get some pop-up that you can buy it, just close the pop-up and keep on doing your thing
Molski

Yep, that is also true! And you don´t even get the nag screen if you
just extract files an don´t open the archive with winrar.
molski, when do you think you´ll get your 2.26 rom with the 2.47 radio rom
finished?
I am really looking forward to this one
Thanks and have a good one
FREIMAURER

thanks guys I got it to work...sweeeet

Thanks so much for the themes. I like the Black one, though, like others have said, it comes out grey (w/ a little blk) on my device, it still looks hot.
Is there anyway to get a Black dialer to match this theme too?
Thanks in advance.

use the carbon theme fallN

Rom cooking + welcome.exe

Hello everyones
I'm cooking a French ROM, so I've a problem with welcome.exe.
I've a shorcrut in startup folder so it start at each SR. So what the method for auto-delete the lnk file in startup after hard-reset ?
Sorry for my poor English.
Thanks in advance.

I'am certainly far from the problem, but in wm5 the welcome.exe is in the windows file (not start menu) but how it move i don't know

Normaly, welcome.exe have a link in startup but is auto-deleted after execution, in my ROM no (and you say that ) but I don't know why...

I'am not sure, but if you think it's an auto-delete, how can you do "align screen" after ? (i've not test it with ur rom )

No it only delete the link

HTC EnlargeStartmenu on Xperia

I installed HTC Enlarge startmenu on the Xperia because it makes the startmenu and menues bigger and easier to use with fingers. But on the start menu I got the ordinary swedish icons for program and settings - but I also get the english icons and when pressing them nothing happens. How can I remove them or is there a "swedish" version of of the cab floating around ?

This is a similar problem: I installed the "htc_ezinputxt9.cab" to get HTC's T9 phone input SIP, which worked properly. But after the installation, I no longer get word suggestions when typing with the slide-out QWERTY. Does anyone know a fix for this? Thanks

almost every thing called 0409 in win dir should be 041d for sweden versions of files, so download a rom and extract the content and copy the mui files thats named 041d...

I did not try to install it yet, but maybe the cab files are of interest for other cooks.

Installed on my device with Mondilv's Nataly ROM and I lost all the 1.5 (Build 2016.2424) functionality of the messaging. I dont see any improvement at all.
My advise DONT install.
Edit:
I lost the Secure Box feature in Build 2016.1721

New words in T9 are still lost after power off
I installed the hotfix but new added words in the T9 dictionary are still lost after power off

I'm trying to get to a conclusion about this update, but I'm seriously confused.
Install or NOT install?

On my Diamond2, memory-usage has been reduced by 10-15% after installing the update. No other improvements.

That's not quite the problem I was referring to. My problem is that if I disable HTC Messaging and revert to Outlook for SMS/MMS using the Zenyee method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556614) then the LED no longer blinks nor does MissedCallReminder detect the unread SMS.
I've already adjusted the registry key to allow for variable LED duration and it works with HTC messaging, but not without. Strangely, the other SMS notification settings (pop-up screen, vibrate etc.) work without HTC Messaging, just not the LED.
If you have any suggestions to address this issue then I (and apparently many others who have dispensed with HTC messaging in Sense 2.5) would be most grateful.

I have installed this update two days ago on the official ROM WM 6.5.1. and the only improvement that I have noticed is the display of a notification with a acustic signal when a sms is sent succesfully.
This seems to me quite useful ...

I try to install this, but the installation didn't get to an end...
Try from Memory Card, and from device too.
I must tap X of Task Manager, and tap HTC Sence in Today to get it to work again.
Strange.
The Messaging is still 1.5.2011.3831 that I have before.

how do you deactivate de sent message notification?
it really irritates me
greetz

I've installed this over WWE 2.53 Stock HTC and it certainly has improved responsiveness, particularly on long sms threads.
On a thread of 100+ messages I can now type without the focus changing to a previous message (message used to get highlighted black) and also 9 out of 10 spaces seem to be taken when typing much faster than I used to need to.
I did have an issue installing where it hung and I had to kill it with the 'X' but I then shutdown Sense and ran the update. After a short while, I got a dialog box to reset the device and after that I found that the install had helpfully re-enabled Sense. Seems to be an issue for the installer to disable Sense to start with.
