How can I remove the read only status from the ql_skin_1 and ql_skin_p icons in the windows folder on my HTC touch. I have tried to right click, uncheck read only, but that does not save. I tried to copy and paste your icons but the system won't let me. Is there another way to do this.

Not sure how to install this. Does everything jus go in the windows directory?

Hi,yes copy all these icons in windows directory.

can you post your theme also? im loving it

It's just a wallpaper with default htc black theme.

Can you make some icons for quicklauncher in HTC style - and or LG plugin style?
You seem to be quite good at graphics.
I run my plugin with - LOCK (lock screen) - EXPLORER (pointing to JAVA = OperaMini) - CONTACTS - PROGRAMS.
But it could be cool with more icons to choose from - like those in HTC HOME/ LG Plugin.
Well - just a thought to make the Quicklauncher a more used application

A nice tool for our devices, File Explorer Extensio v.2.03 Freeware

This is a freeware that I found by Hou Ming that addresses all the missing features that should have been included in the Windows Mobile stock File Explorer.

Some of the new fatures :
*Resizable header for easy sorting by file name, date of last modification or size
*Tree view of folders; you can now jump easily from a location to any other on your device in one step
*Show extension option for those who ask themselves the same question I do: “What type of file is this?
*Icon view that enables the display of files as icons similar to your desktop computer
*Real time image preview; now you don’t have to open several files in order to send the one you desire
*Open with Program allows you easily select an application to open the specific file you select (useful in case you don’t have the correct file associations or when you want Album app to open your images instead of Windows default picture viewer.
*File property context menu for easy renaming and attribute changing
*Open all executables with Parameters in case you need a special parameter when launching an application
*Sending shortcut to Programs for instant shortcut creation of executables placed directly in Programs folder in Start Menu.

Known issues:

Program Information:
Shp Notepad is a simple to use text editor for Windows Mobile devices. There's not much more to say than that. It currently includes almost all features supported in the full Windows Version of Notepad, and a couple more:
File Menu: New, Open, Save, Save As, Last 4 opened files on File menu under "Recent"
Edit Menu: Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Find..., Replace, Select All, Insert Time/Date
Format Menu: Change Font, Word Wrap
Free download (rapidshare)

May not be bad. I don't quite follow a notepad on .Net. Too slow.

[GUIDE]Change APK icon in Windows

I was bored of .apk files either having Winrar icons or simply being a blank slate. This quick little guide changes said icons to anything of your choice.
1) Download FiletypesMan - 32bit, 64bit.
2) Extract this download to another folder and launch FileTypesMan:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3) Download your preferred icon (.ico files only) which will represent all .apk files. I personally use the following:
.ico version download
4) Note: A majority of the images you will find will be .png, I used the following website to convert it quickly: http://www.convertico.com/
5) While in FileTypesMan go to Edit - New File Extension or press CTRL + T:
6) Enter the following, making sure to choose your required icon and press OK:
7) Verify apk entry, the quickest way being CTRL + F and typing apk:
8) The effect should be immediate and can be tested by viewing any apk file:
Enjoy!

Awesome post, thanks a lot!

Alternatively:
(on XP)
Open an explorer window
go to menu: tools
menu: folder options
tab: file types
look for the .apk file type
click: advanced button
click: change icon button
...et voila!

Thanx
very useful. Thank you

Adding media files directly to home screen with DVR?

I recently picked up a Nexus 7 to replace my Nook Color. I love everything about it but have gotten stuck in once aspect. I can't add any media files to my home screen.
With my Nook I used this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872295
It let me add books directly to my home screen. I could click on them and it would open my book for me. But now I can't get it to work. I have version 4.2.463 and I don't know how to change the MIME Type and SubType settings in this version. I can view it by long pressing and then clicking on Properties.
When I try to create the shortcut with Desktop Visualizer I got to Launch -> Select Action -> Other -> Astro File Manager -> [Navigate to file]
The Launch field stays blank and then when I press Ok, it says "Failed to create shortcut or Widget" I get this error with every file extension type.
I'd like to be able to do this again, but not with just books. I'd like to do it with Videos also. Right now I can only navigate to folders and not directly to the files. Ideally I'd like to have it setup the way the following picture shows:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I touch the Spider-Man icon, it loads a folder where Spider-Man is stored. I then touch that file and it plays in Double-Twist. I'd like to cut out the middle step and launch the video in double twist from my home screen.
I can create a shortcut but the icon stays the same size as a typical icon. I'd like the big FanArt style icon like in my picture.
Can anyone suggest a fix or an alternate approach to make this happen for me?
