I wish to hack MusicID

I tried using ResHacker but after replacing some of the graphics (which is all I'm after) MusicID wouldn't run anymore claiming it was unsigned.
How can I replace the graphics in this app and still have it function afterwards?
(FWIW: the graphics in MusicID appear to have been done by someone schooled in minimalist 80's computer graphic design. Who failed.)

New Thread
There is a new thread at the top of this page, where you just posted this question, made specifically to stop unnessicary threads like this. I dont see how it could be looked over. All of the questions there are answered extremely fast, and with good features too. Why would you start a new thread, when you could use this? Try posting it there!

Just curious, what kind of new thread would be considered acceptable to you? I'm not trying to be a smart*ss, im serious, if all "unnecessary" questions go in the "top of the page" thread, what kind of topic/question/information would be alright to start a new thread? Just so i don't make the same mistake kwoodall made.
Oh yeah, kwoodall, i totally agree with you, and wish ya luck on improving the ( 1980's miami vice) look of musicid. dschoenike

Hmm. I did this for that very program awhile back and it worked fine. Only thing i think it could be is if a image file had a different extension or there was a problem when you saved it back to cab.
Or did you try and change the images once it was installed instead of editing the cab file?

I tried to edit the .EXE file itself. Was I a bad boy?

Actually my fellow ppc'er. If you read about the Development & Hacking section , there probably isn't a correct topic/subject to start a new thread. It specifically says that this section is for pretty much Hardcore Developers.
In other words, from the way I've read the rules, and about this section, and especially what I've learned from the Mod's and senior members, this section is supposed to be for someone who has created an application/software/etc. Not to ask questions. I may be mistaken , but from what I've gathered, the only way a question should be asked in this section , is if you can find a specific thread concerning what you are lookin for, and then post it in that thread.
I know that when you go to this section that is not the case, but thats how it was meant to be, and that is why that thread up to , was created. So theres your answer.

I disagree. If that was the requirement for making a new thread, ones having to do with dialer skins, spb mobile shell, all the HTC programs, opera mobile beta, etc etc etc would all have to be erased or relocated, and I just don't think that's appropriate. This thread deals with hacking and the modification of a program, thus I think it is entirely appropriate to post it here. That said, I don't know of a solution for the OP's issue but would like to know the answer as well.

Whats up your a** dude?

Install SDKCerts.cab and/or change your security policy to allow unsigned applications via HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies add new value "0000101b": dword = 1
In the future, please use the thread mentioned earlier for questions, as this is a rather simple step that almost everyone knows about...

I doubt it will work on a QVGA device as the omnia is probably WVGA, a very different screen resolution.

Well, if you ask whether is possible or not, I would say its possible. But no one port it.
By the way, the easiest way is to install Spb Mobile Shell.

So, basically you are just looking for the background, top and bottom colored bars, and possibly the icons? And just to be completely sure, you are not looking for the widgets engine from the Omnia, am I correct?
If I am correct, then you may want to direct your search to this thread. You may find something in there. Alternatively, you can use the search engine of the site in the Development and Hacking section. Do not open a new thread there asking for stuff or else your thread will be moved to the Q&A section.
Now, if what you are looking for is indeed the widgets engine, then you may want to look for something called FEWidgets, which in essence is a flash Today plugin application that uses widget apps made by some of the site's devs.
Netsurfz is right though. No one has bothered porting the UI (at least not that I am aware of). I guess it isn't cool enough for some people
Hopefully, this will help...

[MOD REQUEST] Please move em

please do your jobs, be a smart ass and start with this one.. I dont care. Please clean out this section of the boards. Half these posts dont have a thing to do with development. Its a pain in the ass to try and sift over the posts here when they dont have anything to do with development.
Take your screen shot posts

your it dont work posts
your so on and so on posts out of this forum and into the correct ones

i say make another section for android hd2 general thats the least they can do for all of this , so the rom section will remain only for rom and released apps ....

thats probably a good idea.

I agree... android is so popular on the hd2... I believe it requires a whole new section for rom development" (if you want to call it that now), "Themes and apps" and "general"... if it doesnt happen now it should at least happen in the near future.

any mods care to reply to this? I think its a serious issue and its against the rules of XDA..make me a MOD for a day, I'll clean at least this section up with swiftness

I'm thinking someone needs to have less of an attitude, ok I know some threads are not totally necessary but to start being disrespectful through arrogance towards moderators is not called for & I take it frowned upon. Your better response to your issues would surely to direct your distaste to a mod directly instead of adding your own ill-appointed remarks.......

No disrespect here. I am asking them to do their jobs, plain and simple. XDA is huge, I know it must be a tough job staying on top of all the posts here. I have run my own boards in the past and no where near the amount of posts..but keeping on top of them only equals a better experience for all. It makes searching easier as you dont get redundant posts, spread over numerous sections.
My reason for stating "start with this one" was simple, without that little line some one hear would inevitably say I am no different by posting here, in this section, with my added line I am saying I dont care if this post gets deleted, moved or what ever, start with this one if you want.
I come over here from the Nexus One section, prior to that it was the G1 section and am use to Mods that keep things clean and narrow..I just figured thats how XDA was in general.

Yeah, josh needs help in the android for hd2 forum.. officially, there is currently only 1 mod here, dharvey4651... we may need more in here since things are starting to become as messy as it is now..
many duplicate threads asking the same questions, asking irreverent qns when android development for hd2 is now still at SD card phase.. and the "ask your questions here thread" having mostly questions and no1 answering..
Mods need to help by deleting useless repetitive threads and if possible give temporary bans to people to either post or create new topic in the Android development forum..
And for all newcomers who see this thread... pls read the sticky threads for god sake and stop wasting server storage space with your useless, repeated, often already answered questions..!

We are busy, that is correct. If you want to help us clean up the Android section, please use the Report Post link in the offending thread. All moderators see the RPs in a super special dedicated forum, so rest assured it will be addressed as soon as we see it and have time to do so.

thanks for the replies. I wasnt trying to offend anyone. I will use the report feature...I always thought that was for things such as warez, hard flaming or the sorts..

May I have your attention please?

As you may have noticed, the HD2 forums have finally received their makeover.
At this time, we are frantically trying to reorganize all of the threads but we could use your help. If you see a thread that is out of place, please report it and in the field where it asks you why you reported it, type where you think the thread should be.
This will be an immense help to us, the xda staff, and will help you because the forums will be organized more quickly!
Thanks for your cooperation.

on xda-classic skin subforums are seen like forums. is this ok ?

Whoaa.... Didn't notice that. Probably something I should bring up to Svetius.
Although.. I think this is how the old forum style has always been - sub-forums are displayed so that you can get quick access to them without having to go through the main forum first.

Soft Modder Section

Hey guys, I've been observing the X8 Dev section and what i've observed is that there are many "developers" releasing their "roms", faster than Kim Kardashian's divorce D trust me, THAT was really fast TBH)...and from what I see, things are getting very ugly between know-it-all senior members and wannabe developers...the former accusing the latter that he/she merely themed a MiniCM rom and the latter defending their work, based on the fact that soft-modding is not a crime on xda, so as long as they're free of warez and proper credits are given...
I want your opinions and thoughts on the subject; Should a Soft-Modding Section be opened for these junior/begginer/wannabe developers ?
I for one feel that it should. Soft-modding is the 1st step in learning how to develop. No one should be punushed or banned for doing so...however, I also agree that the DEV forums shouldn't be cluttered with these modded roms... Even I am sick and tired of opening a new thread and reading past the 1st paragraph, saying something like "Hi, this is my first rom on XDA ! I hope you guys like it ! My work is based on nAa's MiniCM 2.2.0, with a few "tweaks" to it"...and what makes me even more sick is the amount of negative responses from senior members whom I thought had more ethics and manners...and what DO i always see happening to these threads ? A lock icon on the top right corner (I use tapatalk app )...So I want to know, what do you think ?
P.S. :YES, I KNOW THERE WAS ANOTHER THREAD LIKE THIS NOT TOO LONG AGO BUT IT WAS CLOSED DUE TO THE MEANINGFUL THREAD ENDING UP IN SOME STUPID FLAME WAR ! SO PLEASE, NO TROLLING, HATING, GOING OFF TOPIC OR FLAMING HERE TOO

Yes thats exactly what im proposing....soft modding is not considered DEVELOPING but neither is it as lowly as to be considered THEMING either...i have tried these modded roms...some are merely themed but some are actually better than the originals

A thread for modded roms and stuff? Sounds good!
+1

+1 there should be a soft modding section like they have for samsung galaxy SII
we only have a few base roms and tons of soft modded roms

I agree with having a separate section.Soft modding is not against the forum rules, while endless flame wars and spamming is. If people want to have it clear on whether a rom is original or tweaked, the best solution is a separate section.

Sent from my X8 using Tapatalk

Guys we have "themes and apps" section.
What do soft modders do ?
They edit framework-res and system UI
AND thats what themers do.
People should post in themes and apps section.
BUT members want to be "recognized developers" so they post in dev secion(i can understand you guyz)
PS-was getting bored of studying,couldnt leave xda

I thought that soft moded roms arent acceptable in dev session
why dont you just report those that you see in dev session and you think is soft modded roms?
and no i dont think a new session about soft modded roms should be created
seriously who wants them?!
and if by any chance one of these worth it should be in dev session...

I think it's good to have a Soft Modder section..because I don't want to see someone who mod a ROM getting ban from sharing their work in Development section..

NO keep soft mods out, just make a damned [MOD] thread with your frameworks and stuff like that!!!

Disagree...Sorry sir...Just like the other said,we have themes & apps section...I saw some works in themes & apps thats like the one you thought...They based their work in the rom & credit to the op of the rom,like petrukgrinder,he based his transparent status in minicm,in that case people recognized him also an x8 contributor & not pain in the ass just like they call them a troller...

Guys,
I would like to say yes but I think its not necessary.I mean,me like what these guy doing & me appreciated Them but thats not the way should be.
1.If somebody can fix some bugs or can make a rom better performance why not just cooperate with DEV so their can solved in their next update.
However, there always a few exceptional like:
a)Dev had enough, others can continued exp-what B.Jay do for GDX
b)Make a rom for difference kernel exp-What Devstaf did for ICS stock
2.If somebody can make a rom more beautiful there are 2 options they can post in Theme sec.
a)make a flashable zip exp-what Bakabon19 do for Athojan SDE rom
b)make a CWM/Xrecovery backup-not yet in here but many Chinese forum already practicing it.
So if everybody play theirs role,the add sec need no more.
Thank to Rohin for this thread
Peace

I get why some of you want soft modding is banned...but the fact remains that it isnt illegal to soft mod and share on xda...hope none of you hate me for my replies...im basically sitting on the fence with this...i'll debate with all of you...as for those who agree that soft modding is ok, im asking you, why do you want to see the same thing over & over & over with just a new face ???
