Hi all, anyone knows how to change the 2 softkeys at the bottom of the menu? the default is PHONE on the left and MAIN MENU on the right..
Try this -- just unzip and add it to your windows directory and it will appear in the settings.
Apologies to the author of the program - I don't have an original source - but all credit goes to whoever developed or extracted it!

Correct me if i am wrong, i have to go to my files explorer than open the windows folder and paste it in right?
I have already tried a shortcut creator which allows me to change the icon of a shortcut...
But when I copy that shortcut to a different pocketpc (which has the same programs installed as my own), the icon switches to the standard one...
Any chance to definitely change that icon??
.....No one?
The Icon of a exe file is stored IN the exe file, try to open the exe file in a res-editor and replace the icon with the one you like
I don't know if that works for ppc exe files too, but: just try it

I already tried it... But I still have a problem:
When I copy the .exe file from my PC to my device, the icon is automatically restored to the default one...
Maybe the icon I'm using aren't compatible with this type of operation?
I use this icons: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424678
The .ICO ones....
which icons are you trying to change
sometimes there are more than one icon in the exe.. (different sizes and colors) be sure you replace all
if you like i can try it for you, just send me the exe and the icon, or upload it here.

You can find it in the attachment....
It seams your .ico is corrupt, i can replace it with an other icon, and no problems.. but your one is "empty" (in windows I see the guitar playing homer, but in ResEdit, the icon is empty.. )
I tried it with another on, and it worked
Used TGTSoft ResEdit. Just open your exe, then point on the left site to "Icons" and select that one you want to replace. the you see the icon on the right site. Over the Icon ther is a replace button, click that, select your icon and save the project

Maybe you can open them in a icon editor and resave them with other settings.. color.. resolution.. play a little around

Everytime I try it, I get an error....
ERROR CAN'T OPEN .BMP FILE....
But I'm trying to use .png and .ico icons.....
Maybe Am I already using wrong icons?
Where can I find correct ones?
is the extension of the file really ico? Do you use just the icons of this thread?
Here you will find lots of icons: http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/icons/?order=5
hope you get it to work if not, i can try to convert them

I use .PNG icons.... If I try to replace the existing icon with a .ICO one, I can't load it with the app... It doesn't let me load a .ICO file...
EDIT:
Finally I make it work opening the .ICO file with an icon editor...
I deleted all the format (16x16,24x24,ecc...) inside but one (32x32)...
Then just write its name in ResEdit (because it doesn't allow me to search .ICO file)....
AND FINALLY IT WORKS!
Thanks to all!
Hi,
above rocks to change icon for my window mobile application .. but changed icon does not show up in mobile n mobile infact does not allow me to run application if icon is changed in uor way . Will this is possible to change icon for signed application or is there any other way to change icon of application .
Is this possible to have my application icon not from .exe file but loaded separately as any other image .. in this way I feel i can change icon on will....
any help will be appreciated
regards
Just take it on pc,i think it will be same.
This is confirmed working with "Samsung Blackjack 2 Windows Mobile 6.5"
Download the attached file. "lock.zip"
Extract the "exe" file and put it in the "\Windows" Directory
In the registry, go to: "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSQuickApp"
Change the string "1" value from "quickapp.exe" to "lock.exe"
Save and there you go! Your power button is now the lock button.
Does this work for anyone else?
If so, what Phone and OS Version?
Is it possible to download files (RAR) on the device using internet and transfer it later to the PC? I don't think its possible in stock ROM but perhaps an App or something.
My device is Dev+Interop unlocked.
if you find where ie9 stores temporary downloaded file, like pdf, mp4 ecc ecc, i can tell you how to complete the download, and, once completed, tranfer the file to the pc...
It's very possible (download any file that fits to handset's isolated storage file from your homebrew app, and transfer that file to PC using ISETool.exe) but why not use cloud file storage such as SkyDrive, DropBox etc.? If you have no experience with DropBox, click on link in my signature; it's very simple and useful

Yes it is possible to download files. I do it with ultrashot's Opera Mobile port which allows you to select the location of the downloaded files and transfer it using Gooddaytodie's Webserver
Opera Mobile requires full-unlock, so that's not an option for the OP.
Downloaded files typically go to \Application Data\Volatile\<SUBFOLDER> where <SUBFOLDER> depends on where and how they were downloaded (IE, email attachment, etc.).
If you look at the source for my XapHandler app, you'll see how an app can register a filetype. You'd need to do this, or the phone will simply refuse to download extensions that it doesn't recognize (hmm... I wonder if a .* handler would work?)

If Opera Mobile can do, then perhaps some other browser can do that too? Metro internet explorer doesn't work
All the browsers that are based on the IE engine will be unable to do it until the necessary registry keys in HKCR are created. An app can manually download from a URI and save the resulting file, but in the WebBrowserControl if the user clicks a link to a file the handling for what to do with the file is the same as on IE.

No. And nobody here not even meant marketplace. Interop-unlock + homebrew only.
BTW, could you share with us your scenario: why do you need to download rar archive to the phone and transfer to the PC? I still can't achieve why do you need things like this.

well the thing is, sometimes I need to download files which may take a while to download completely. So, I can download on the go with the cellular data and then transfer to PC when home. Sometimes the file download is completed in the time same as reaching from work to home.
ok, i'll solve the mistere the only thing u need to do is to add a reg key in hkcr , it will be called .rar for rar files etc...then insisde it u create a string that names Default, the value is rarfile
u go back to hkcr, and create a key that is called rarfile, inside it u will create a dword named EditFlags and with the value of 65536
that's all, now you need to know where ie9 stores data...

I don't know if it'll work or not but can you guide the how-to. I can edit the reg-edit using MFG. It has following options:
Root Path
Sub Path
Input key and type
Input data
Just confirming as incorrect reg edit can render unstable.

Oh, I see... Seems like India still have a "last mile" problem and your cell connection is more reliable and faster than home internet. For countries with fast broadband home internet connection this "feature" just have no sense.

ok, this is what you have to do:

-without closing

what firmware did u flash. the only problem in newest JB form spain region is just about the symbol but the layout is still in qwerty. To fix this, you shoul edit it manually or just take layout from keyboard from your ics rom to your newest JB rom.

I Don't know about azerty keyboard layout, cause i'm using qwerty .
But u can change the key characters of physical keyboard layout on system/csc/Your region code(for spain it's PHE)/system/usr/keychars/bcm_keypad_v2.kcm.
edit it and change it using your virtual keyboard. OR you can use ICS bcm_keypad_v2.kcm from old rom (if you have your backup).
That's it. You will get your old layout keyboard and will fix forever.

Of course you should. How can you edit your system without Root? Just edit the key i mention above. Before that click on screen keypad on the "language and input setting". And then just take look for chars that you think miss, then fix it using your virtual keyboard.
You can use root explorer to do that.
Hope this will help you. Press thanks if yes.
Solution
You can replace original bcm_keypad_v2.kl with the file you find at link http://ge.tt/4nhbXzg/v/0?c
You can push it into windows file manager and the use for example Root Explorer (yes, root before your phone) to copy it to system>usr>keylayout
The button to access to chatON don't run. If you want set it, before open the file and replace CUST1 with CHATON.

small tutorial to change galaxy chat b5330 keyboard layout from spanish to english or other
so
you have customer customization files, that means folder /system/csc
here you can find all keyboard layouts
CPW folder contains custumization data for britain
for other layouts check it yourself
in PHE are the spanish
now you can:
a:
delete from PHE keylayout and keychars folder contents and /system/usr/keylayout and keychar files will be active
b:
move keylayout and keychars folder contents from CPW(or your layout) to PHE folder
it works... after reboot
at least for me
and you can play with the keyboard layout now as described in other tutorials, you can simulate DPAD too, if you make one key CTRL or META, but it's not working in many apps, on launcher i can navigate
and you can add some buttons to wake up device, not to kill power key

hi
you can try to install a firmware from LUXEMBOURG
i had the same problem so i have downloaded this firmware from sammobile
My Method
I had the same problem with the keyboard, anda after a few attempts I finally bring it back to a good configuration.
1-. Root the phone of course
2-. Download a file manager and go to system/csc
3-. Here we find the hole stuff from the available countries in phone's configuration. It's important to know which is the sale code of our firmware (For example, my firmware's code is ITV, and is from Italy)
4-. Now we have to look for the correct file for our keyboard to work properly. The best solution is know the sale code of our language (For example, I have a spanish keyboard, and the sale code of spain is the Phone House España PHE).
5-. Now that we know the sale code, we go to system/csc/XXX(Sale Code)/system/usr/keychars, where we can find a file called "bcm_keypad_v2.kcm". This is the supposed correct file for our keyboard. If we dont trust, we can open it as a text file and edit with a text editor. If chracters match with sysmbols inside the file, that means that it is the correct file.
6-. We copy bcm_keypad_v2.kcm and go back right to system/csc. Now we look for the sale code of the firmware that we have flashed (ITV, in my case) and go to system/csc/YYY(Sale Code)/system/usr/keychars, and replaced the file there with the other one that we copied before.
7-. Finally, go to system/usr/keychars and there again we replaced the bcm_keypad_v2.kcm file there with the other one that copied before.
8-. Now reboot and try typing if the keyboard works right or continue working wrong. At least for me works :laugh:
My theory is that when we flash a rom, the country from where it comes their csc files are taken to system, and we have to replace both keyboard file in the csc repository and keyboard file in the current system.
I hope this will help you :good: Good luck!

This fixed my wrong keyboard layout and the shortcuts buttons.
Now only one issue still remains for me..
The "Sym" button used to switch my keyboard language but now pops up the symbols window.
This way I need to have the on-screen keyboard enabled in order to switch through languages.
Any idea which button mapping I should change to enable language switching on the "Sym" button?
I have root access so I only need to know which file and button mapping option I should change to fix this.
