[5/4/2008] ichis - "Yet Another iPhone Hybrid Theme" for rlToday

Hello All,
I updated a few lines in my MortScripts, redownload the ichis.zip file and the new files are in the ichis directory, just overwrite the existing files in "\Program Files\rlToday\ichis\"
I wanted to release my rlToday theme. ALL icons are active and info is displayed. Let me know what you think.

To update weather:
a.) Either tap the one of the smaller icons (tomorrow/after tomorrow's forecast) if you are connected to the internet.
b.) Or, tap the big icon (current condition) to update via Google's SMS. once the message is recieved:
- Open the message
- Tap and hold and Select all
- Tap and hold and Copy
Then it will update the Today screen.
The reason I have an SMS option: I don't have a data plan other than when I'm at a WiFi spot. So, its really for me
If any of you get an error message, please post it here and let me know so I can add that icon/weather condition [Un]Fortunately, I live in New Mexico and its always Sunny and Clear, hehe.
AND I'd love feedback. If you use it, modify it, post your screen here!! I'd love to see what you guys come up with too!
Installation:
Inside the attached chis.zip file, you'll find everything you need:
1. Install MortScript 4.1
2. Install rlToday
3. Copy Sys-To-Reg-2.0 directory to \Program Files\
4. Copy cutouts.ttf to \Windows\Fonts\
5. Copy ichis directory to \Program Files\rlToday\
6. Run Sys-to-Reg-Install.mscr and allow it to run at Startup
7. Make ichis the skin in rlToday
8. (OPTIONAL) If you use S2U2 v1.00 or above, set the weather option to UserWeather in S2U2 Settings and copy the contents of the S2U2weather directory to \Program Files\S2U2\gfx\weather\
9. (OPTIONAL) Set the bg-black.bmp as your background with 0% transperancy via the WM Pictures & Videos application
10. (OPTIONAL) If you would like your own background behind the icons, I've included a bg.png file that has the transparency layer preserved and you may place another image behind it of your choice using your favorite image editor (ie. Photoshop) -OR- just make your favorite image your background.
11. SoftReset and Enjoy!
* Note: you may need to edit some of the applications that the skin.xml file launches. you can do so by editing the skin.xml file.
Recommended applications:
S2U2 by A_C
S2P by A_C
Google Maps by Google
Task Manager by DotFred.net
** I have my mail icon launching Gmail, if you don't have this account on your phone, you'll need to edit the gmail.lnk file to launch the appropriate account.
Special thanks to Mirko Schenk for MortScript, Allgemein and emerym at the rlToday forums and for Sys-to-Reg. Although Sys-to-Reg is currently version 3.0, I'm using 2.0 because it does what I need it to

Nice but seems like a lot of steps

Hehe, yea, The whole reason I use Sys-to-Reg is so that when there are no messages/missed calls it doesn't display a nasy "0" and its blank.
And the reason for the update via SMS option is because I dont have a data plan

Update
I updated the instructions a bit. This is my first release, so I'm thinking of things to add to the post as I go

wow!!!!!!
thanks in advance

Cheers!

Thanks, just want to ask, is it include the clock as well ?
as i have other clock file which i am happy to use at the moment ....
yes please, can you also share the HTC start icon, and also other colorful icon on top ??
thanks
you can PM me for the file ....

Thanks but.....
Thank you man but can you please share the TASKBAR ICONS that you have as easy installation??? dont give the link to that just if you can post it ready here????
​

Nice one mate.
Nice activesync icon. Would be glad if you can share only those 2 dlls.
thanks

taskbar icons are incomplete..i still need to modify a couple..i will post them when they are done
The files above ONLY include the tf3D icons..so no clocks..

updated!
Landscape mode changed mostly
Portrait mode changes: People, weather & Home(changed contrast)

I 'm worried about this

If I do overwrite...this means....my original; TOuch flow 3D file will disappear? and if I want to change back to original theme....I need Hard reset?

No they wont.
Read this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2791165&postcount=1
It tells you how to install and how to uninstall when there is no cab and why you wont mess up the original files.

not true.
Total Commander will overwrite the original manila files without prompted. if you already have modded icons then it will ask to overwrite (hence what i said above)
so in other words, the original file WILL get replaced.
HOWEVER, you should not worry.if you delete those manila files from the windows directory, the ROM will automatically restore the original file.

i only got 2 of the 8 icons in landscape mode, not sure why? Oso pls advise how I can get the calendar tab.

sounds weird..
try disabling tf3d first and copy the files again.
enable tf3d again...
if that doesnt work, try a soft reset.
please let me know if this worked..

It work now as I hv installed the vodafone red theme previously. and now I resintalled bk to default. Thanks again. I can installed the call history and calendar but it doesn't appear your icons. Please advise

i am assuming that you installed the call history and calender after you installed my icons
That would lead to my files for CH and calender being replaced by the standard icons
So in other words:
if you have Call history & Calender ALREADY installed:
Just copy paste my files
or
if you want call history and my icons, install call history first and install my icons afterwards
Tell me if this worked for you

Yup, it works again. I also add the comm tab. how to change the icon?

can you give the link to comm tab topic?
if i know which manila file is responsible for those icons i can try to make some for you

I think it is 42d367fd_manila...but I dun know how to change the icon with ur other invention

i found the 2nd one..
1e439536_manila - Tray icon
42d367fd_manila - Hero icon
instructions: same as the above icons.
I included a backup of the files just in case
Let me know how it works and if you like the icon
EDIT: PROCEED WITH CAUTION. POSSIBLE PROBLEMS..THIS POST WILL BE UPDATED WHEN IT IS KNOWN FOR SURE

Very nice, my friend. but i realize u have 2 files with same name, which one I should copy to the window dir?

Home screen direct link (TaskMgr) unremovable

My current problem is that the TaskMgr.exe disappears from the start menu, after a soft reset. Is there a reason/fix for this?
The other problem caused by this is, that my shortcut in the home screen becomes a dead link and is not removable. If I go to "menu->remove direct link->mark the task manager shortcut->finish" it simply stays there.
Even if I copy the taskmgr.exe to the start menu and the link is working again it wont be removable.
Is this a known issue and what can I do? Any help is much appreciated.
The whole thing looks like this:

Try
Go to:
Registry Key:
HKLM/Software/Htc/Manila/Home/11
(If I counted correctly, this is the 12th item, and numbering begins with 0)
There should be some Values specifying the IconPath
and ProgramPath
They usually point to some *.lnk file
See if this file exists,
and if the Lnk file exists, see if the program it points to also exists.
(I dont remember how to check where a .LNK file point too,
maybe Edit would do)
Edit:
Oh, Yes, see if the Value
IsSet (under the same key) is set to 1.

Thanks very much,
editing programm path and link path did the trick that now the Icon is back there and the link works even after a soft reset.
Though I still cant delete the link from the home screeen. There is no error message or anything. The Icon just stays there after clicking "Finish" to delete it.
EDIT: IsSet is set to 1.

Well . . .

I had a problem deleting element after playing a bit with the registry, and leaving an item all set, but with "IsSet" set to 0.
In that case - everything showed, but I could not delete the element.
(There is another value there - I think "IsExist"
maybe that has something to do with it as well,
or maybe - just play a bit with the other values in theis key, and compare them to values in keys (like 0,1,2 . . .), and see if something changed
Or -
As some say
If it works (for your needs) - dont touch it)

[SOLVED] searching for an image in kitchen=no luck??? [dialer keypad image]

i have a bug on my rom because of an image.
the image is on the dial pad screen.
im searching for the image of the button to make the dial keypad/keyboard popup/down?
(ill be able to supply a screenshot later but not atm)
whats the image name and where can it be found in my evk?
cheers dudes, muchly appreciated

Did you check in your phone canvas package? If it's not visible in there it may be in one of the .dlls like phcan.dll or phcanrc.dll (I can't remember their exact names), but I'm pretty sure it's an image that you can see if you open up your phone canvas package. If it's in a .dll, you can use a program like Rezhack to open and edit .dlls.

Anything like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10697671#post10697671
If this is the same issue I have then I believe its the .dlls phcanhtc.dll & phcanrc.dll that need modifying, however I don't know how to nor have I had any help in how....
The images are 'Dialer_Contact_down.png' & 'Dialer_Contact_up.png' and should be in the phonecanvas package.

to edit dll's you need 'ResHacker' (resource hacker)
quick tutorial:
drag and drop the dll OR exe you want to edit onto the ResHacker.exe and it will open. everything inside the dll OR exe will be shown and you can edit it, eg icons
select the icon and right click
now replace resourse with your custom icon
*the number on the folder is the icon number - not the number on the icon
to make your own icons i suggest you use 'IcoFX'
install IcoFx and open it.
got to TOOLS/BATCH PROSESS
add images to that you want as icons
*dont use transparent images, it will turn out crap
select 48x48 and XP Colours
save
now go to TOOLS/RESOURCE EDITOR
click the 'add icon' and add the 'new' icons
now save but put .dll at the end of what ever you name it as
this creates a dll with your custom icons
cba explaining the rest but if ya realy wana know - pm
Rn

update
found it
to save you editing them:
Rn
(no dll's need modifying for this btw just thought id mention it, ive searched the dlls mentioned and none contain icons)
(infact i searched all the dlls in the canvas folder )
BIG thanks!

OK, so what does your dialer look like now? Is there no dialpad icon at all now?
I understand how reshacker works, however I don't think its Icons that need editing in the .dll's - its other stuff?
I have lived with the annoying cut-off for a while now but would be keen to see it fixed....

Quicklinks Folder Shortcut

Howdy All,
Firstly i hope I'm putting this thread in the correct folder. If not, could the powers that be do some magic and move it to the appropriate topic.
Preamble: Using blackSTONEhenge (cookie and now slim) it bugged me that I had to have quicklinks to specific programs and not to specific folders e.g. Games or Office. After lots of searching, and I do mean lots, I managed to do this. credit must go to pgriffith in the Touch Diamond forum, and others.
Solution (for Games Folder shortcut): Unzip the _FolderView.exe in the zip file found by following this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416092 post #3
Using Notepad, create a .lnk (that's .Lnk) shortcut file with the following:
66#"\Windows\_FolderView.exe" #\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games\?shellres.dll,-8229
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and save as Games.lnk. Don't forget the .lnk at the end.
Copy and Paste to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder. You can now add the Games folder to your Quicklinks. The beauty about this is that uses the ROMS start menu and not File Explorer.
I tried the same with Office folder and it worked, except the icon is, as you can imagine, the games folder. My next challenge is to identify the Office icon number from shellres.dll and even better the HTC Sense icons. If anyone can help, it'd be much appreciated.
PS: If this has already been discussed, kindly ignore.

its not in "shellres.dll"
its here "officeres.dll, -3"

Thanks Raving Nanza. I realised my error.
For an Office Shortcut use
67#"\Windows\_FolderView.exe" #\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Office Mobile 2010\?officeres.dll,-7690
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
. Funnily enough when I changed it to -3 as per your suggestion Nanza, it was the same icon.
Any ideas on using the Sense Games icon that looks like a game controller instead of the Windows folder + card icon? Anyone know what the .dll file for the Quick folder is(i.e. the one with the toggle switches for BT, Wifi etc)?

ok i dont know how you got -7690 but it could be your version of officeres.dll is differant to mine, obviously coz in mine its icon number 3....
if its just the icon you want to change then make an icon and put it in the windows folder, name it something random and create a link to the icon then lable the link - icon.lnk... now put the icon.lnk into the folder you want to have the icon for, eg games/office... any folder to be honest.
but.. swiftly moving on:
when i made my rom i created my own dlls and icons for folders, using icofx.exe and reshacker.exe .... ive uploaded my dlls below..
the icons inside my dlls are:
windowsfoldericon.dll, -1 = WINDOWS FOLDER ICON
windowsfoldericon.dll, -2 = OFFICE FOLDER ICON
windowsfoldericon.dll, -3 = TOOLS FOLDER ICON
gamesicon.dll, -1 = GAMES FOLDER ICON
