i searched a ton of the threads and have found a lot of these questions asked, but not answered. so please if anyone can help me i am clueless with this. i dont like to touch registry stuff unless i absolutely have to, but i am willing to DL other programs like SIPChange to get stuff to work. anyway:
1. i am able to send texts via PocketCM which i think is awesome, but when i get a text, my phone no longer vibrates like it used to be4 PocketCM took over. is there anything i can do to fix this?
2. related to that one, can i make PocketCM my default text app? cuz it still pops up as new text notification and if i hit reply it goes to the WM default one
3. since ive been screwing around trying to solve these myself... i held down the phone icon, bringing up a new set of tabs, and went to the one all the way to the left. that brought up the default contacts page. now when i click on contacts on my screen, it brings that up instead of the incredible PocketCM! this is heartbreaking since i want PocketCM to be my default everything. even if i restart PocketCM it now defaults back to the Windows Contacts page...
any help at all is appreciated, thanks in advance
put this command inside the settings.ini of the skin (.cmt) file.
bring_pcm_to_front_on_sms=0

1. Not sure without looking into it further.
2. On my device I disabled the new text notification. Its now setup that whenever a new text msg comes in it goes to the pocketcm sms screen. The most recent msg's are at the top. Not sure how to change the reply button though.
3. Happened to me.. did a soft reset and it was back to normal again. Give that a try.
Also pocketcm has a forum on their site (www.pocketcm.com). Might wanna try there if you don't get the answers.

3. soft reset worked! thank you.
2. thats a good idea ill do that and if anything it will trick me into thinking that PocketCM is my default
1. soft reset actually fixed this too, but im wary that it might change...
as for shekhar, what issue is that addressing? making PocketCM the default text app?
thanks a lot for your help
Hi everybody,
at the end a contribute of mine... Hope you will find interesting.
I finally find out what is needed to change both the Title and the Icon in the main WM6 taskbar. You can see attached my mod with no text and Htc green arrow icon. I'm building up a guided procedue to act if I find you really interested and if moderator finds it legal . For the moment I can only suggest you that you have to modify shellres.192.dll in order to change the Icon (icon numbers 292/293) and shellres.dll.xxxx.mui in order to change the Start text (xxxx is localization code i.e. 0410 for Italy!).
Let me know what do you think about it and then I'll go on with the suggestions!
Cheers!
Guided Procedure:
---------------------------
What you need:
1 ROM Extractor for WM
2 Res Hacker
3 Siggner (attached)
4 Resco Explorer/Total Commander
5 You can change the Start Title editing the shellres.dll.xxxx.mui at the string table resource number 321
6 You can change the Icon editing the shellres.192.dll file at the Icon Resource number 292/293 (Icon must be 21x21)
First of all you have to extract those two files from \Windows folder of your device. Those file are blocked because ROM so you need the freeware ROMExtractor to copy them from \Windows to the internal storage folder. Then you can copy them on your PC hard-drive to manipulate. !!Keep them safe because they are your original ones!!
To edit them you absolutely need the freeware Res Hacker. Open the files with it and edit the resource as you want. Save. Normally ResHacker make an original copy of the file. If not, be sure to keep safe your originals!
When you save your changes, the dlls lose their integrity and you absolutelly must sign them again to let your device accepts as originals.
Use attached Mssigner to act like that.
If txt log says succeded (not the application, you have to check the txt file to verify if it's succeded!) now you are ready to copy those files back to yor \windows on the device. Use Resco Explorer o Total Commander to do that.
Overwrite when you're asked.
Soft Reset...
Is everything all right!!?
When you'll become confortable with the proc you will probably be able to edit a lot more of Windows resource and customize your system!
Let me know your tries, guys!
that is very nice. I haad never liked those letters, however i would like to keep the windows logo.
Nice! Because I use WkTASKchange, the application icons in the taskbar let me know what is running, but they also cover the focused application title. That looks bad. So, I'd like to remove the application title in the taskbar. Without changing the Start icon, if possible. Although it sure is nice to change that as well
how do i change the "start" text? where do i get images (ie ".ico") to replace the original windows icon( preferably a black logo of windows)?
Thanks.

Not connected to the post.. but do you use wktask successfully on your diamond ? I cannot manage to hide a task called demarrage... even with no process i have a process windows near to the start menu...
It can be cool to hide the start menu if it helps to put more things in the task bar
Ciao

Sorry for the off topic.. Yes, WkTASK Manager works fine. I've excluded manila.exe, repllog.exe and HTCActionScreen.exe, through the Preferences - Excluded tab, for instance. Not familiar with your demarrage process though..
Wonderful. Why don't you tell us exactly how to do it? Would really appreciate it.

Thats a nice idea
Or something like this:
What size does the icon need to have? and does it have to be a .ico or can it be any image?
I hope the most answers are on the first post!
Wait for your replies!
BRICKED!
Well, that didn't go too well!
The first attempt resulted in a bricked phone, I had to hard reset as it wouldn't boot. The second attempt I was a bit more careful but now all my icons appear messed up (in File Explorer folders and files are books and message icons, no start icon at all etc.).
I'm a bit confused by the instructions, firstly, in shellres.192.dll, if I export icon 292 with Res Hacker it is 41x36. If I have a look at Icon Group 4609 it is listed as a 41x41 icon. I know you mentioned it should be 21x21 but this doesn't seem right, I would have expected 32x32!
Anyway, I tried from scratch using a 21x21 icon and it still messes up all my icons. I think I will leave it for now until someone makes an App or Cab file.
I am using SwiftBL v7 ROM by the way
Mmm... Strange...
Since I found out the trick it's my 10/12nd attemp to change icons and texts and everytime it worked fine!!
Anyway, her you are some information (Look the attachment):
- I'm on official rom 1.93.408 ITA (the htc official latest one)
- after a lot of succesfully changes on my device I can absolutely say that icon must be 32x23 16M colors and the right icon is number 292.
I will take some time to understand what's the difference on your ROM...
Let's keep in touch...
isnt there an easy way to change them letters?
I noticed the same issue's as wired69 did.
But in your instructions you say that the icon size has to be 21x21 but later you post and i quote:
- after a lot of succesfully changes on my device I can absolutely say that icon must be 32x23 16M colors and the right icon is number 292.

If so could you please update your instructions.
Do you only have to change icon number 292 or both 292/293? That was a bit confusing to.
Hoping you will help.
P.S. Which certificate do you use for the signing part because the .mui signes just fine but the .dll does not.
You can read HERE how to change your icon.

Indeed my friend!
Bricked, but solved now !
Hello,
when I had two times bricked my diamond after signing and installing new mui file, I found, where the problem was.
I removed "Start" text from menu for better view of WkTask, then I signed file with mssigner. When I copied new mui to windows folder, my diamond became a brick :O The main problem was in missing SDKCert.cab. Because when you are signing with SDK certs edited mui, you have to install SDKCerts.
Now it looks for my needs, screenshot included.
Bye

Hi milillicuti!
You can use the cab i've enclosed, It should work! dont forget to soft reset
(Credit goes to mUn_Rus)
Good luck mate
Jeroen
Thanks for your anwser !
I've already tried this cab, but it put a mess on my home, with a&t information and other languages ...
Did i do something wrong ?
you probably didnt do anything wrong, it messes up a lot of peoples phones i think.
There are themes out there that have the background in all the tabs, i have installed a few of them and never had any of the problems i had with the cab file.
What wallpaper are you trying to use?
Thank you for your answers.
I would like to use my own and not the theme's one.
I use this one :
Can you try this.
I had a problem with mun_rus's because it left white squares all over. I made one that worked and ive just swapped out my image for yours.
thx kao. How did you do this file ???
That works great on each tab, except home where i don't have anything. Just the wallpaper an top and bottom curtain. But no clock, no calendar, no more missed calls .....
I'm going crazy !
And the soft keys are going crazy too ! Before i had my contacts and second today, now i have contacts and menu ...
and the soft keys don't work ...
sniff
Weird - are you running standard manila?
Yes. A theme i downloaded here. Speed black i guess.
In fact each time i go back on the home tab, it keeps the spft key of the previous tab. And still no clock or calls/ calendar.
How did you do this file ?
Its mun_rus's mode9 file, but with my image embedded into the manila file. I used manila editor to change that.
Im running dutty's V4 rom with no changes to manila and it works perfectly.
I used quickcab to make it into a cab file
hey is there anyway to uninstall the file? it messed up my phone and i just want to uninstall it now =/
Hey man,the file millicuti is ok for me....could you change the image inside the file whit this one?thanks a lot if you can make a cab for me...
I tried Milillicuti's_Background.cab which was nice then tried to edit the cab file with my own wallpaper, maybe i dont know what Im doing but it stays as the same wallpaper and the big question is HOW do i remove file to go back to the default setting.
(NM i found the 2 files i needed to remove)

How do I uninstall this?! I installed and thought I could have my own custom wallpaper set as bg for all tabs.. DAMN!
How do i remove it?
i have a bette rquestion ? how to remove bckgrounds from the tabs? i have installed a rom, wwe george for my diamond but i dont like to have the same background for all tabs. I want the standard bckground for all tabs, just to change for the first, home screen.
man i installed that by mistake and got the same problem
im trying to change my icons on the manila but only some of them change does anyone know how to fix this proble thanks
Which icons have you changed and which ones are not changing?
the weather and the calender changed but the others did not music, internet search, settings, people,home
What program are you using to change the icons?
I have been using cfc-gui to change my icons and they are grouped together depending on what they are (i.e. - tray, hero, people screen, weather screen, etc.).
Are you trying to change your "tray" and "hero" icons or icons within each tab?
no programs just cabs from different people on this site
You're not making the rookie mistake that I made and installing a cab (to change the icons) on top of one that is already installed?
yup, so what do I do? Help me learn
Just uninstall all of them and soft reset. You should be okay.
how do i do that? where do i go
Click the Start button in the upper left hand corner.
Start>Settings>System>Remove Programs
Select a program and click "Remove" in the bottom right hand of the screen.
sorry for the missunderstanding i knwhow to remove programs i want to change the icons but i dont know why only some changed and would like all of them changed
It depends on the cabs. Some people change all of them and some only change some. For instance, my cab that I have installed doesn't change the photo, music, or AT&T tabs because I didn't include them in the changes.
can anyone post these? im trying to change the calendar and history icon under my clock.

No way he can do that
Reason he intalled diferent themes on top of others so soon he uninstalles one wen he gos for the next on there will be an error cause windows will not find a second backup of the original.
Sorry to tell you but you need to hard reset your device.
for anyone trying to modify there manila icons.
Use CFC Gui.
Intructions easy way.
Connect you phone on Sync to you device start CFC GUI should be a options to extract all manila files from you phone.
After that you will see all kind of images change the one you want then send it to you phone from CFC GUI more instruction on CFC Gui threat.
Hope i help you all

So it won't just uninstall what it can "find" and not worry about what it doesn't?
Also, when unintalling a program/theme, how does it know what to revert back to? Are the original files not overwritten/deleted?
On my old Touch Pro when you recieved a message whatever program you were using at the time if you clicked at the black bar at the top for notifications then on the view message icon it would display in a little bubble at the bottom of the screen overlayed ontop of the program you were using so you could quickly view the message and then minimize it an contiue what you were doing or click reply and it would enter you into text messaging. Is there anyway to enable this feature for HD2. Because I miss it!
Cheers

have you recently flashed a rom? if so what back up program did you use to backup/restore PIM data? When i flashed my first rom i was using SPB Backup and when restoring PIM data, it would loose the bubble you talk about, I have since used PIM Backup and not had an issue.
Its always been like it, with first ROM, i upgraded to 1.66 and now im on 1.72, by the way big mistake! My phone is now slow as hell and doesnt send texts or recieve whether updates!
I assumed that it was the new stly of notifications menu and hoped there was a way to enable the other style?

About to flash myself. I'll come back here if I get any problems.
Ok let me know ive found its not so bad now 1.72 I am currently on a personal record(this is not a joke this is the longest ive ever been able to run the phone without reseting) of 17hours 23minutes without needing to soft reset however i have had to do funny things to make that possible see here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666458
Can anybody tell me if in any ROM version when u get a text in and click in the notifications menu it opens the message in a bubble at the bottom rather than taking u too messages tab??
Thanks
Anyone know how to display message in the pop up bubble from the notifications bar rather than sending you straight to the messages tab (useful for reading the message while in another program)???
Many thanks
Still after a way to get this working really want to be able to quickly read a message while in another prograam like i used to on my toch pro. Help would be appreciated thanks

Very easy: Start, Settings, Menu, More, Sounds and Notifications, Choose New Message from DropdownMenu, Check "Show Message", Done
Greets
If i am in the right place it is greyed out and doesnt let me check the box although for me to get there it is:
start/settings/menu/all settings/sounds & notifications/ then click notifications tab then select New Message from DropdownMenu but the "Display message on screen" is greyed out?
Thanks for the reply
Hmm strange maybe it is ROM-dependant...? Or there are other settings need to be made in order to use this option...? Which ROM are u using? Have you got BSBTweaks installed?
No i dont have bsb tweaks installed i dont like the way you cant reset to defaults, i do have hd2 tweaks installed though.Will bsb tweaks make it work? im running latest voda Rom 1.72.

Actually i dont think that this has to do with BSB. I relly dont have an idea as the checkbox "Show Message" is a standard function of every windows mobile version Anybody else got an idea why the box is greyed out...?
I went searching through the registry and found keys which were in the NOTIFICATIONMGR bit which had a path linking to Messaging_Client which i guess is what directs it to the manilla messaging bit when you get a message. I tried deleting the path and deleting the values in the CMD bit but it still does the same. I restored the key after just incase it affected something else but presumably there is a key somewhere which controls whether or not you can click that check box but i have no idea where i would find it? Anyone know.
