hi to all
how i can change start icon and wait cursor from modules in the kitchen?

You need to edit shellres.192(96/128).dll with Restorator

1)Recmod the file (if it is in modules):unzip the osrecmod tool and drop the unmoduled file over recmod.exe
2)Unsign the file dropping it over unsigner tool.(ofcourse unzip the file tool first).You must then see your file loosing 1-2kb...
3)Open the file with restorator or reshack (its free but needs more time to do the job)
4)Change the icons (they are in ico extension so your images should have the same extension and dimension).
In the first series of icons is the waiting cursor.Find another series and replace them.Nice cursors are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803756
Images must have the same dimensions as the original ones.
Find the start icon and replace it.Save the file.
5)Sign the file with msigner tool.You must then see your file gaining 1-2kb.
6)Remodule the file and drop it in its original place in your kitchen.
Maybe unsigning and signing not needed if you cook the file but I have not tried it.I always sign my file.

[HOWTO] Modify any DLL or EXE Files you want!!

Hello!
Now I found a way to Edit DLL, EXE, MUI and all other files for WM5 and WM6!
I ever had problems with the Signature in the Files bur now i have the Solution!
In This package i attached, there is a UnSigner, Signer, Editor and the Certificate for the Phone!
Step1:
First you must Unsign the file you want to edit!
Just go into the Unsign dir and drop the file over UnSigner.exe.
A DOS-Window will popup for a short time, the file is now unsigned!​Step2:
Now you can edit the file! I placed the reshacker into the package...​
Step3:
If you edited the file successfully, you must sign it again!
Go into the Sign dir and open siggner.exe. Then choose the file you edited and take the "SDKSamplePrivDeveloper" Certificate.
Press "Start sign process" and close it​
Viola, now your file is Modified and signed!!!

I was able to unsign, modify and then sign a DLL file. But when I opened it in PE Explorer to check it, it gives me errors that the file is now too long. Take it you can't make additions, only changes?

MEditor: Simplicity
Hi guys,
I've decided to make it quite a bit easier. Just open up the attached .zip
file, extract the MEditor to Program Files, and double-click Install Context
Menus.reg (confirm if a warning pops up).
Now, to edit a dll, mui, or exe file, just right-click on it and press Edit with
ResHacker. Once you're done editing, just save the file, close ResHacker,
and it'll take care of re-signing the file for you
How it works
I didn't mean to make this post a big deal, but I'd just like to explain how this
thing works. I've added the necessary registry files for adding or removing
(if you choose) the Context Menus for "Edit with ResHacker". It calls
C:\Program Files\MEditor\open.bat, which opens a batch window (do not
close it until you're done editing, it will close itself) that removes the
readonly, archive, system, and hidden attributes off the file, then unsigns it,
then opens ResHacker.exe to edit it. When you close ResHacker.exe, it
automatically signs the file and adds the readonly and system attributes
(hidden and archive aren't necessary). Not very complicated if you think
about it, but it's what I use

Same problem. Internal adresses are being messed up. Tried expanding array in IDA and adding complimentary bits in HEX Editor. No luck. This has to be possible right? Shifting the entire code a few bits as to add a few characters here and there? Please someone, this is driving me nuts.

transparent top curtain / bar

Ok, I've found the cab that removes the top curtain. NoTopCurtain.cab removes it, and every search I did only lead me to threads asking the same with no solution...

I've seen the semi-transparent bars in peoples screenshots, would somebody care to tell me how this is done?
Get your device. ActiveSync it. Explore it. Find file 18c460d8_manila in Windows folder. Copy it to your PC. Save it to a folder somewhere.
Download Manila Editor. Select Path in Manila Editor > Point it to the folder you just saved the 18c460d8_manila file. You'll see a blank image listed in manila editor.
Export it and open it with your favourite gfx editing program. Edit it to a semi transparent colour. If I remember rightly it's a 2pixel wide (128 high) image that 'spans' across the screen.
Use manila editor to replace the file with your newly edited image. Then copy the 18c460d8_manila file back to your device in \Windows.
Wallah! All done. You can find everything you need via Searching and reading!
thanks
Thanks, I should be able to get it done
i have a 1864da05_manila .... but no 18c460d8_manila
your sure its in the windows directory? I have a juicy 2.5 telus cdma phone, could it be different?

Internet Settings Cab (want to create)

Ok so i have my internet settings and i was wondering how would i go about making in to a cab? is there any tutorials on to teach me what i need to create the cab and how to make it?? any info would be appreciated folks
Thank you
Hi trev you will need WinCe cab manager and this tutorial is good on ppcgeeks.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=27906
Thanks matey, ill have a good go, be better than inputting them all the time
hhmm little more complicated than i thought!!!
yeah the tutorial is a bit complicated but when you manage you wont forget, just like riding a bike.
1st open wince cab manager
2nd click file then new enter a name click next,next,finish
3rd right click files and the add navigate to files you will pack in .cab file and add. Choose the location where you want the cab file to install the files. The file should be added to wince cab manager now
4th somewhere on your pc make a file called INF file.In the right corner of cab manager you should see 2 red arrows one above and one below a white square. Press the one with the red arrow above then set the output directory to where you made the INF file. It will export a file.
5th Now press the other red arrow navigate to your INF file and open file click on your inf file and import it back into cab manager.
6th press file, save as,choose somewhere to save the cab file. VERY IMPORTANT make sure to change file type to WinCe CAB files. When you press save you should have a cab file saved.
Good luck, how is things in Grimsby.
Its COLD we have SNOW GGRR lol
Yeah we have snow aswell but its -10 here
Did you manage to make the cab file
yeah its not that cold here, you should be used to it lol
erm no i think im in over my head here lol, (BIG style)
so i have the program, i have my settings, in my phone already is there no way i can just create a cab that way??
how big is the file, do you still have my e-mail address? Send it to me and i can cab it for you.
what am i sending to you?? the thing is i still wanna learn is whats annoying me,
its @jessheim.net right??

[SOLVED]Cooking themes into ROMs

Hi
How does one cook a custom theme into a ROM and make that the default theme? I've tried editing quite a few registry entrys and it still does not work.
Another question along the same lines, how do i cook in a custom today wallpaper? I've tried changing registry entrys here as well but it didn't work either
Thanks
Mod edit: Solved thread
well...
long history here...
First.. the themes for 6.5 and 6.5.X are not the same theme, so genereally if you want to cook inside a theme that you have made... simply be sure that you have a TSK that contains all the registry entries for images and the two images in JPG format with your size screen set them as "read only" and "archive" attribs then save the cab as winmo cab then rename it from .cab to .tsk then.... put it into a EXT pkg in your EVK kitchen or whatever you have EVK or OSK make a pkg called "my theme name" inside a folder called "FILES" inside that folder all images of the theme and the TSK too... then go to your RUNCC or autoinstall or however you have and set in the txt file this comand...
TSK: \Windows\My theme name.tsk
at the end of the file this way in the botting procces frist customization the theme will be set as default
is the dirt way but you can make it safely instead of changing many regs that simply you will forgot the original
Y'all must to remember that if you want to patch the theme or install a them in a runing working rom in teh device you must to trust sign the TSK but if you are cooking the kitchen will do it for you
The wall paper is easy: just set whatever pic you want as the wallpaper using either Home-settings or the pic and video tool. Then open \windows, and look for the newest files. You'll see two files named stwater_###x###.png or something very similar (could be tdywater). Grab these two files and then when you're editing a .tsk file, include the files in it. Now you're done.
If you want to cook the theme straight into the rom, then you need to dump all of the reg keys and put them into an app.reg file in a package that runs at the end of the build. Name your two wallpaper files (portrait and landscape) "classicblue_stwater_480_640.jpg" and "classicblue_stwater_640_480.jpg," and stick them in the same EXT. (To get the proper names for your device, look in (SYS\Build#\dpi_192_resh_480_resv_640\COMMON\base_dpi_192_resh_480_resv_640), obviously with the proper resolution.) Look through your add2config.txt or config.txt files, and make sure that no other stock .tsk is run during customization.
I know i to cook a theme and set as default and blabla....but its interesting know how to trust sign the TSK when i make a theme.cab to put in a working rom...can you explain?

A way that bobsbbq has taught me, and has worked for a 6.5.5 theme
make a new folder in your EXT packes, called whatever the theme is, and in there make another folder called files, in the files folder copy across everything in the theme's cab. then go back into the root of the themes package folder and make a new text document called add2config in there paste the following:
TSK: \Windows\XXXX.tsk
where XXXX is the exact name of yout .tsk file found in the themes cab (so it will also be in the files folder if you want to copy the file name exactly.
Save the text document and then just select it in your kitchen

I started having problems with Farmer Ted's way so I tried this one instead. It works perfectly except for one thing, that it needs a restart before it's effective. Is there any way to get it working on first boot?
I use this one:
OEM\ExtendedPKG\config.txt
Code:
LOCK:Enabled
TSK: \WINDOWS\Htc_black.tsk
LOCK:Disabled
RST: Reset
This will set that theme on first boot, of course you need to have RunnCC running.
You must change Htc_black.tsk with your tsk name.

I did mine exactly like that but it doesn't work. It only works after I reboot the phone atleast once
EDIT: I noticed if i go to settings/home, it is set as the default theme (it's hilighted) but it's not actually visible anywhere.
EDIT2: Never mind it's sorted out. I went back to Farmer Ted's way and got it to work exactly how I wanted it.

Does this method select the theme on 1st boot?
btw, how do you select a default Wallpaper for Manila's Home Tab?
sometimes you need to take your theme tsk rename it to .cab open it with cab manager and change the pics inside
the manila use as default a pic inside the EXT or OEM pkg it contains the manila app... search for the image and just replace it same size, and attributes.

what would the image name be? in EXT Manila.exe is only in Manila_Core and I don't have any image there except Manila files...

[Tutorial][Cook]CAB Theme to OEM

Hi guys,
it took a lot of time but i figured out how to cook in a theme and make i default
What you need (would link, but i'm a new user and can't)
Theme as CAB-File
reg2provxml by ervius
package creator by ervius
What to do:
start the package creator, choose your theme-cab and convert it
inside the folder containing the cab file there ist a subfolder, named as the theme-cab (\folder with cab\folder named like cab\)
there u find a .tsk file, rename it to cab and convert this with the packagecreator
there will be an another subfolder, with has an rgu file (\folder with cab\folder named like cab\folder named like tsk)
rename the cab back to tsk
combine the rgu files and add the follwing line:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today]
"Skin"="\\windows\\ThemeName.tsk"
convert the rgu with reg2provxml
rename the provxml file to "mxipupdate_themename_001.provxml"
cook in and you are done, theme is loaded by default
Nice work
It will be easier if u keep ur theme file *.*.tsk as it and include it in ur Config.txt file
