[Hack]Start menu and TaskManager buttons on notification screen wm6.5.x - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi everyone,I have done ,with an hex editor,a little modification at the screen of notifications (when you push the top bar on wm6.5.x) which replace the battery button for an acces to windows start menu(the old SendWin),the same who appears in bottom-left of some roms.The taskManager button was added time ago.
In wm 6.5.x that top bar ,on my opinion,is not so good than the old wm6.5 one,whith this twek ,the acces to start menu and taskmanager can be easy with a simple finger.For view it,see the preview image.
I have tested on 2 diferents wm6.5.x roms and runs.Instalation:
Backup your originals NotificationManager.dll and NotificationRes.dll,the first is the one I hacked ,the second where the new icons are.
Download an unzip the attached zip,copy to \windows replacing the existing files.Softreset and enjoy.
Notes:
-Mortscript must be instaled previously on your rom.
-The buttons can be used as launchers of any .exe you whant,simply rename your app to Rtask2.exe or powerexx.exe and copy to windows.

nice mod

i don't have this DLL on my device ? do you have an HTC ?

Yes,htc Leo with wm6.5.x ,in rom artemis v30 the start icon does not apears but when push the oem battery icon the hack works and sends to the windows start menu.

how do i remove programs like "HotSpots" from Star

any 1?
I have programs like: Email Setup, O2active...
1) how do i remove them so that after a HR they will return ??
2) i managed to find Email setup - but after deleting the files - i still have blanc shortcut in Start>Programs saying email-setup (with empty icon).
why?
can i remove only shortcuts but keep the program?
These things you wanna remove are installed everythime you hard reset. THey are programs in the extended ROM. These are customizations to WM5 that the retailer (imate, o2,qtek, t-mobile) put on the device.
If you don't want to install any of these do the following:
1. Hard Reset Device.
2. you'll go thru a series of screens:
2.1 Welcome Message
2.2 Align Screen
2.3 Tap and Hold tutorial
2.4 Password Configuration
2.5 Ending Screen that asks you to press screen to continue.
3. RIGHT AFTER step 2.5 (after you tap the screen) press the RESET hole.
This will bypass installing all the files in extended ROM which normally shown by a progress bar at the bottom everytime you do a normal hard reset.
4. Now you can Install the stuff in the extended ROM one at a time. Only the ones you need to install. To access the ExtendedROM (it is hidden) download Total Commander (search thru google) and type \EXTENDED_ROM in the navigation window and it will display the contents of the extended ROM.
I don't have O2 so i cannot explain to you what each individual .CAB file does. Just use a little guess work. THe O2Active, i believe is easily spotted. It's the biggest CAB file. Don't click on it so it won't install.
Tell me if this helped you out or if you need more clarifications.
Hola Jorge
First of all - Thanks for the great explanation !!
Although I do want most of the stuff, i already tried corporate mode (clean install) but I missed a lot of things.
therefor I installed Basic mode. (which hasnt got ALL the features)
But - some of the features i DO want to take away.
(NOT FROM EXT ROM)
only for now... programs in the Start>Program>
Lets say I wanna take the games away...
where are all the programs installed TO ??
I found some of them. but when I deleted the email setup for instance -
I still have an empty Email Icon in START>PROGRAMS>
(again i remind U - I wanna leave the ext rom as it is)
10x again !!
Some features in the ExtROM are installed in Corporate mode too, the sure way to customize is to bypass ExtROM, then install one-by-one the .CAB files you want.
Anyway regarding the Games, etc. they are part of the OS so cannot be uninstalled unless they came with the extended ROM like Backgammon that came with the JASJAR ExtROM.
To delete the ICON that is blank but still has text, go to \WINDOWS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\GAMES
You'll find the shortcut there. Or just to \WINDOWS\START MENU to see all the oter shortcuts in case you wanna remove other stuff.
The games are installed in WINDOWS and a shortcut is created to the Star Menu Directory. Just delete the shortcut.
What does "10x again !!" mean?

OK , Here's what I did:
1. Install Flas Lite 2.1 for PPC WM5 Cab into Main memory.
2. Install Szabi cab launcher cab to main memory
3. Copy Cube config directory to same directory as cube launcher
4. run cube config exe to config cub screen - Hint: save change after fill each screen ( there's a bug in the config that did not save properly)
5. Launch the cube and enjoy.
thanks for posting! This is a very cool high tech addition to the Hermes!
My screen is blank. Just the clock and beautiful girl. But no icons. I didn't really get into configuring it yet but I thought it would just open and run. anyone know where I am tripping up?

I have since uninstalled this, but I believe you first touch near the top of the screen, near the clock. The clock will disappear. Once the clock disappears, swipe from the very bottom of the screen to the top. That should bring up the cube.

thanks for the instructions on using the new additions!
Here're some of the icons you can use, and a new background jpeg file ( if you don't like existing one ). Have fun
Anyone have a link to the config file? I got the other two main files from here...

Having some Q and ned help !!!

1-what is ROM ?
2-if it put tf3d rom or another it will delete all files in the system ( like hard reset ) ?
3-is tf3d is like a panel ( spb mobile shell ) or will delete windows mobile system?
4-what is GeoTagging in camera ?
thanks
From what ive gathered by using roms my self... i have found the following:
1. What is a rom?
it is basically the thing that make the user interface look the way it looks. The default windows today panel is the default rom which the phone comes with. TF3D rom will replace that and make it look like a HTC Touch HD. you can install it as a panel by following this link-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441439&highlight=tf3d+panel
Download TouchFlo3D on Xperia X1 cab and TouchFlo3D as Panel Installer Installer.
Install TF3d first, softreset, then go to settings, today, items and untick every thing. then soft reset.
Now install TF3d panel installer. soft reset. then just choose the panelas younormally would.
2. A rom will edit certain windows files to make it look and behave in a different way, but it would still be the windows interface. if you install another rom, it will erase all files on phone. and replace certain windows files.
3. see q 1
4. Dont know what geo tagging is??
thanks alot
but when i install the tochflo 3d beta 3 and made everything then when i press on the panel it writes to me loading in a white screen and notheing occure ??

HELP needed for installed taskbars problems.

I am using a p565 modded rom 6.5
My bottom start bar of start menu are gone everytime and left with a white bar still having "phone" and "contacts" all clamped up on the left side.
I do have Sdkcerts installed. Tried a few taskbar cabs some for 6.5 some for 6.5.X.
Also tried on 2 different 6.5 roms and every time I'm getting this error - open of englishUS failed
Please help I am desperate and at least I want to know a way to restore my bottom menu than re-formatting everytime.
All that simply because I want a battery indicator on my taskbar

WKTASK is too old to be compatitble with 6.5.5, until the author updates it so that its compatible your only answer would be to run 6.5

Plz you know another way for close the prograns when just click in the X botton?
xtep made a little program called AMEBA for add shortcut on start and close button.
You can set the program for :
Start button
1- short press access start menu
2- Long press run a programme (for example taskmanager)
Close button
1- Short press close really the program
2- Long press minimize the program.
This is my config but you can set as you want.
Instal all 3 cab and then run Ameba program from start menu.
