Hi, I need some help here:
I have tried extracting tapres.dll from several WM6 releases.
However, they never seem to be correctly rebuild after dumping the ROMs.
Does anyone know a way to get hold of a Working tapres.dll (from WM6 !!!) ?
I have tried dumping rom's with itsme tools (viewimgfsf, rebuild module etc..), but the resources from the file are VERY strange..
I need this file because I am writing a new program to build dailerskins, But I want to resize the dailerbuttons.
Solved:
Raceit pointed me to the resource file:
tapres.dll.0409.mui
This one needs to be edited!!
Am working on it.
Thanks Raceit !!!
The problem now is in how to make WM6 to use the new tapres2.dll (and MUI file)
edit
Had to write a new dll, but succeeded:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297530
I got this with viewimgfs.exe as well so I'm not sure it will be of any help to you. This is from the Orwells ROM.
Thanks, too bad I got the same results:
There are no dialogs to be edited..
So it's not (yet) possible to have a big button dailer.
I understand this is about the dialer, but for some reason my WM6 dialer wokrs fine, i can change the background and button graphics, however when i am prompted to enter my SIM pin code the number pad has the nasty white background and pink buttons etc... (as if there is no skin).
What .dll controls the dialpad and sim pin pad?! Could i be missing some graphics files?!?

Been a while since I messed with sim-pin pad..
Out of memory I believe that:
The background is created by cmdpad_land.gif cmdpad_port.gif (and square, but this is not used on wizard).
And the buttons are the NmBtnDn_Land.bmp and other nmbtb**etc** bmps.
[ for convenience I attached those ]
thanks sir, i added the graphics to the \windows folder but still no joy (im running on the hermes btw). could my .dll that refers to it have been corrupted?!

It sounds like an image problem. I'd uninstall any dialer skin you have running to get the default stuff back if you can. If that doesn't work try this. It's the same as the-equinoxe posted, but there are a few more files. (No offense the-equinoxe) Just trying to help. This should get all the dialer buttons and images back to normal.
LOL! i REALLY appreciate the help people but still no luck! :s could i have corrupted a .dll or registry value when the ROM was cooked?

I only posted the pin-pad images (out of memory, didn't find my notes), and left the dailerpad images out.

Could be, what changes have you performed while cooking the ROM?
Did you edit the grafics for the dailerpad while cooking of afterwards?

I've got same problem. I think that's a sort of TMobile skin and not a file missing problem.
All began after i installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=34670&d=1172649654

The file you refer to is the smart dialer, and installing it without a skin gives the same result as my sim-pin pad has. but LOL yer it does look like a T-mobile skin. Just install a skin and it will work ok.

Well the first ROM worked fine, the black WM6 dialer and pin-pad looked the same, by copying the files from this post into the windows folder the colours and graphics for both the dialer and pin-pad were changed?!? (as desired)
But after the ROM change the pin-pad is white with no buttons. adding the files again to windows only changes the dialer. :s
AFAIK nothing has been done to the dialer skin, however it may have been changed by accident!? Which is why Im wondering which .dlls and reg values effect these?!
SOLVED

Could you explain how to fix that skinning problem?

I am testing/working on it @ this moment..
All looks promissing but please be patient, don't want to rush out a release.
Only difference with the eten/paulyA skins is you edit another file, some regkeys are differrent, and the smartdail is build into the same resource.
Will build a test-skin (based on the Eten-grey Light I build for WM5), and do some test.
I will also build my findings in the WM6 dailerskin-builder program I am working on.
This one is still in the early development fase, and not all screens have been skinned.
Status:
-editing NEW resource Had to write my own dll, Done
-Dailer portrait Done
-Dailer landscape Done
-Call in progress portrait In progress
-Call in progress landscape In progress
-Button templates In progress
This program will be WM6 WWE QVGA only, but I will probably add some other languages once those are released.
Attached:
-a screenshot from the skinbuilder (although I am thinking to change the layout, because the troubles I have with switching to landscape and control-placement)..
Clicking on the screen will let you select the background picture
You can choose the buttonset (here used "test" ) with the dropdown menu.
You can change the transparancy of the buttonset with the slider.
And build a cab by clicking a button..
Sorry i didn't wanna bother you. I'll wait. Absolutely no probs...
Still having troubles applying the new tapres.dll
Replacing the XIP based tapres.dll crashes the dailer..
Then I tried to use the tapres.dll (plus MUI) as skin
So I renamed the dll and Mui to tapres2
and edited the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"IcoFil"="tapres2.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"ext"="tapres2.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]
"RESDLL"="tapres2.dll"
To no avail, still the old tapres.dll takes over
What am I missing??
EDIT:
OK I had to build a new dll.
Started from scratch, but now I have Big Buttons and Smartdailing Working
New thread is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297530
Classic Reading.
I think MrVanx would also like to see this one back someday.
I even remember myself finding out that there needed to be a phcanXXXETC.dll and a specific registry key to get a skinned unluck screen.
I'm closing the thread, but will never remove this.

Official Crossbow theme(s) & sounds wanted
Hello,
I'm very interested in the new crossbow .tsk & .wav files, so for a few days I try to de-cook the AKU 3.5 ROMs (esp. provided by Helmi) to extract the file contents, but since now without much success. What I've extracted were some dll's & exe's, but the most interesting part for me wasn't there: The wav's from the event sounds (like Default.wav, Infbeg.wav, ...). I've found crossbow themes here, but the one that looks like the original has a width (landscape) of 1 pixel too less (319px). In another thread I've found the brilliant ringtone and a few system sounds zipped together (file 'other_crossbow_sounds.zip'), but it doesn't contain all event sounds, some wav's are missing. Please, please can anyone post here:
1. The official default .tsk (320x240 + 240x320)
2. The full collection (or the missing ones w.r.t. the existing ones) of event sounds
3. The media player skin (I really like the look derived from Vista)
4. Other goodies
Thanks in advance and I wish all of you a good new year 2007!

I have seen none of the originals camaro - but show us where the tsk is thats one pixel short and i will mod it if you like.
EDIT Did you try this one seems to be the right dimensions ftp://[email protected]/BlueAngel/BA_WM5/Shipped_Extracted_Updates/xplode/cabs/Crossbow.tsk
I have edited it so its stwater only (tdywater.gif not required) so its a smaller tsk file
I have analysed original images and before mentioned tsk colors are not correct. I have compared all other available mock crossbow tsk's and images and i believe the one i have produced is close to the original - thoughts?

Oh, now it's clear: There is a border of 1px in the background-image itself that let me think the today-background was 1px too less. In the portrait mode the top border is OK to distinct between taskbar and today-screen-contents, but in landscape mode the right (and left - hard too see on my ppc) is annoying. In the next days (I don't have experience in compiling a .tsk yet) I'm going to fix this and upload the corrected .tsk.
Thanks for your quick reply!
What about the sounds?

Wm5 uses base hue (centered gradient) and color keys for the top and bottom bars, 2003 uses just plain colors commonly in a gradient side to side pattern.
So totally different registry color keys - a 2003 tsk will work in a wm5 device to a fashion but not the other way round. If your interested read my tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=275907

It looks like crossbow mb.tsk is nearly right - just needs some tweaking of the color - at least its not grey lol.
I will tweak color if you tell me which way to go.
EDIT find a new one attached
If this not working i may need to do a cab to do the color change - but not the best solution - or i will install magic button myself and give it a go. - its all good fun hey guys
I appreciate the effort but.... it is still not like i would like it tot be..and a cab solution is not really an option. I'll think i will look for an alternative for Magic button ... can't believe this is the only/best solution for a task manager/closer.
Do you know if there is a matching dialer skin WITH smart dial for the P3300.
Here it is the HTC Audio Manager from the HTC Touch in VGA (meaning: It works fullscreen on the HTC Universal)
version: final (no bugs so far)
Here you can download the OEM package
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/HTC_Touch_2_VGA/HTC_Audio_ManVGA_v3_OEM.rar
Thanks and greetings to deepred who is the hero of the day, because he showed me some missing bits in my thoughst about the resizing.
for some reason, the ftp speed is absolutely horrid.
about 4KBps (!!!)
when i finish downloading i'll try fixing the images (no promises though)...
dah, i forgot i had just formatted my computer and i don't have anything installed yet.
have you tried resizing with different resizing methods? (ie. percise billinear, bicubic....)
could you post it on say rapidshare (don't know if posting it here will be right)

Done.
http://rapidshare.com/files/37802131/HTC_Audio_ManVGA_v2_xda_WIP.rar.html
has you resized the images???
i downloaded the file from the rapidshare link....and i see png's which are 640x44 background is something like 480x514....
is this the right size or do i double this up?
no, its the same file ivan posted.
i couldn't resize it properly.
the app works, but the icons have a pink border around them, thats all.
I tried to resize them with irfanview (i know it isn't the smartest method, but i am not a very skilled person regarding image manipulation.
Oh and regarding the resizing, only thge images in the png_qvga folder need to be resized, all otherimages were resized correctly.
I think I did it. Run irfanview, press B (stands for batch), load files from png_qvga. Select new output directory, Work As: batch conversion, output format PNG, use advanced options checked. Then select following format options: save transparent color, compression level 6 (default). You can play with compression level, but 6 worked for me (pictures became smaller ~1KB). Advanced options: unselect everything except DPI, set it to 192.
P.S. Forgot to say, that it will ask you for transparent color. Select magenta on each picture.
Hm, pretty cool app. Much easier to handle with fingers than with stylus. I think it supports AVRPC, just tested with Nokia HS-12W. No song name, but buttons are fully functional.
Thanks i will try it.
Thanks to deepred it works now completely.
Upload location in the first post.
Nice work deepred.
Why does the palm tell me it's impossbile to open the file 'cause of certificate ?

Thank you Ivan!
Can you do the Java too?
Maybe thank you again

How can i install this? I tried to copy the files into Windows folder, but the app won´t start.
I´m using the Darkforce Rom in German.
CAB
I made a cab-file out of v3:
http://rapidshare.com/files/38129024/Audio-Manager.CAB
It works for me, I hope that it works by you too.
how do you know this is the final?, also considering this is VGA do you believe it will work on the htc hermes or not display right?
crap i installed this on the hermes and now its HUGE on the screen.. lol.
anyways build is v1.02 b515.718

Im looking for any information you can provide on how to modify the graphics for the CommManager. Anyone able to link would definately be my hero. LOL. Thanks in advance.
The way I did it was I copied all the image files from the windows folder on my phone over to my computer and then went through them and found the ones that belonged to the commanager and then modified them to the way I wanted them to look and then put them back to replace the old ones. Hopefully you're good at graphics because it took me a few days to redo mine since I kind of suck at it.

For the 8, 9, and 10 button touch style commManager from the Kaiser that I've been using, the Background is BG.png and L_BG.png .
Looking at packages for the standard Wizard commManager, it looks like the graphics are in the Res DLL file. You can use the ResHacker tool in the Core Kitchen to view and edit this (in theory).
When i go through the rom i find no images for the CommManager, when i open the CommManager dll There are resources in there, but When i try to replace those, I get an error about it not being signed.
So what do we do here, is there any registry key like with the phone dialer that can tell it where to get the graphics?
In the HyperCore Kitchen there is a signer program and some files for it. I haven't figured that part out myself yet, but maybe ask anichillus for the steps.

It's easy , just start the signer ...and it will guide you. I had a tutorial on my website...but....my favorite saying in English : "$#it happens"

The one I changed was the 8 button commanager that mfrazzz used in XM6 the first edition (the gray gradient touch looking one) and all of the images were in the in the windows folder. The names of them were 0_on, 1_on ..., 0_off, 1_off..., 0_dis, 1_dis ..., 0_dn, 1_dn..., L_8_dn, L_4_dn etc, etc. Unfortunately I haven't used that commanager since I had XM6 on my phone and I didn't get a screenshot of it, but here's a couple of buttons that I made for it (I made 2 different versions, one black and one with a green - black gradient).
I just checked and I installed the 10 button black commanager on my newest ROM and all of the image files for it are also in the windows folder. - nevermind, I forgot that when I cooked this ROM it actually had a 10 button version of the same commanger that I mentioned above and I installed the 10 button black one later. The images that I saw listed in the windows folder were the ones for the one that was on there first.
I guess if you want to edit a commanager that you don't have to edit a .dll file to change then use that one.
Hi,
i have testing with the dpi settings for the display and i think 96dpi is realy good to working. But there some bug's and no i ask me if any rom cooker can make a nice rom with 96dpi support. I have seen that win6.1 working on a typhoon with 96dpi by 176x220px ... the vox have 131dpi by 240x320px ... so can anyone help me ?
some images
Hm looks pretty good. How do you change to different DPi"
I've found you just need to set the registry values [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsY] and LogicalPixelsX to 96 in decimal
But for now it's quite buggy..some icons on titlebar are missing
Information source here
It changes icons messages home screen only letters in menus are at the same size
It needs some DLL editing from what i'm reading
Here are some shots
as you can see here the icons of the signal and battery are missing
Here is how the homescreen appears
Hm I noticed the icon problems. When you use the icon bar replacement it works on the homescreen otherwise it doesn't. You also need adjustments for the grid view in the start menu, it doesn't show enough icons, but that should be changeable via reg key too. You need the dll for the icon bar, then you can adjust that too!
EDIT: Yes, you also need bigger backgrounds!
Yes in the linked article they say how to solve the icons issue and why the problem exists but it's for Wm2003 so I haven't tried yet...
OT: thank you frau with your (and others obviously) work with vonix and for the wiki
OK. I think tshres.dll is for the iconbar.
exactly is tshres
"tshres.96.dll: Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/system icons. It even contains PE (Phone Edition) icons.[/url] Locked by the shell32.exe, gwes.exe and device.exe"
The problem is, I just looked in the dll and there are not all the icons, that are usually in the icon bar, like battery icons are missing!
For me it's very painful to look for those icons using the dlls located on the phone..maybe using the kitchen or the OEM SYS folders provided by the DOC...but right know I do not have broadband connection...
Tell me which dlls you need. I'll upload them for you!
Thank you for your cooperation..I'll take a look at the guide this evening..now i do not have spare time...so i'll let you know...
Thanks in advance
nice to see that somebody intressting to this
my idea is to copy the 96dpi stuff form a typhoon rom to the vox rom, and cook this. After this it's going to the fine tune.
For the menu's the regkey's are
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\PopFnt
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\BarFnt
and set the value "ht" to 14-16 ... what you like ... 14 is realy small but good enouth to read ... 15 is i thing the ideal for this
For the Scrollbar (value in px ... 3-4 are good)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\cxVscr
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\cyHscr
Sounds good. Can you upload those files?
I have never cooked a rom befor, i have ask "ALEUT" the maker for wm6.1 for the typhoon if he can send me the files from his rom.
if he would send me ... i put them to a server
ore someone told me how i cook a rom ^^
i founded all the icons thanks to frauhottelman...now i have to know how to modify them to be compatible with the 96 DPI MODE.
we will be waiting for you to release something to make vox 96dpi
other than icons you have to make call screens also compatible wioth 96dpi

i think you may wait for a long time...i m not a programmer or whatever else...i've just tryed to do some dll substitution...and till now...this has resulted in phone hardresetting
I've used some 96 dpi dll found here on XDA but with no luck...
if any of you finds a way to just edit the dll we have this could be great.
Based fully on ammars 12 button action screen for HD. When I installed the ammars version, I found out, that bluetooth toggle was not working and also no button was assigned after install. So I changed the "ToggleBTh.exe" inside the cab for a different version working with LEO and I also assigned the left soft key as the action button. Finally I changed the text in the picture of psshutXP to reflect the device it's used on.
As you can see, I haven't done anything big, just slight modifications, so all the credit still goes to ammar for his HD version and to metkosas as the first creator. Anyway I like this piece of soft and I thought I'd share enjoy
Original ammars post can be found HERE.
If you want to alter the function of any button, check out THIS post which contains a very good how-to.
[Update 22/11/2009]
- v 1.2
- changed cab registry modifications - now working for non-english OS
[Update 21/11/2009]
- v 1.1
- implemented suggestion from post 6 - HTC Contact Editor instead of the old MS one
[Update 20/11/2009]
- replaced "ToggleBTh.exe" used by ammar with a version compatible with LEO
- slight change in graphics od psshutXP (text mostly)
- action assigned to the left soft key
- removed the "today icon" option, as it has no use in manilla
I have uploaded two versions. The first one links the button "gps" to googlemaps. The second one is for those of you, that use iGO8.
Warning: iGO8.exe has to be installed in "\program files\iGO8\iGO8.exe"
Install HD2 12 Button Action Screen to the device not SD!
Very nice, good work!
One question: I've been looking for a simple bluetooth toggle app that works on the Leo, seems you found one, could you post that seperately?
Here you go

Dude, awesome, thanx!
I think smaberg is also working on his 12 button action screen for HD2 ^^
But nice to see this also.
Thanks!
So much more useful than a stupid phone soft key that duplicates the function of the hardware button 1cm below it.
Dupe post
If you are a passing mod, please delete this...
Detxtrosan. Thanks for updating it to work for Leo.
Can I offeer a suggestion to all users and also you to update the cab file so that the New Contact link on the Action Screen takes you to the better looking HTC Contact Editor as opposed to the Microsoft old Contact Editor. Here is the reg tweak...
HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\App_6
Change path to: \windows\ContactEditor.exe
Also delete text in Param field.
Thanks!
Good idea, I'll do that, thanks for the suggestion.
GPS and Shutdown is not working for me, just takes me back to homescreen.
What version did you download? As for the GPS problem, the answer could be that you downloaded an iGo8 version and you don't have iGo8 installed/installed in the right directory. As for shutdown, I'll have to look into it according to the version you downloaded.
Very good!
Would it be possible for you to include a Tomtom version?
For those, who have installed IGO in their Storage Card (or somewhere else than Program Files\IGO) ...
Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\App_10
Change Path to the path of your IGO8.exe
SOFT RESET
And now you`re ready to go !
P.S. Thanks for the wonderful application !!!!
I downloaded "HD2_12_button_HD_action_screen_v1.1.cab" so no iGo8 version. When i press GPS or Shutdown i get the loading circles and then back to homescreen, no error or anything.
Do you have a branded version of HD2? Could you check if you have the directory psShutXP after the cab install? The action screen points to the file: \Program Files\psShutXP\psShutXP_nosc.exe
Also can you check if you have the googlemaps installed in the \program files\GoogleMaps directory? The action screen points to the file:\program files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe

Here the same. I think it has something to do with language. My dir for shutdown isn't Program Files\psShutXP\psShutXP_nosc.exe but Programmabestanden\psShutXP\psShutXP_nosc.exe
Changed: HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\App_11
Change path in to my language: Programmabestanden\psShutXP\psShutXP_nosc.exe
Same for GPS/Googlemaps App_10
OK. Thanks for your info mlkenschede. I found out, that the cab registry modifications were hard coded. I changed them to reflect system folders but unfortunately I have an english device so I need you guys to check this out for me. If it works for you I'll update the first post with this version.
MMSLauncher?
MMS tab just open up SMS?! hmm...
I checked it on the dutch version and indeed, shotdown is working correctly.

The thing is that there is no difference in the SMS/MMS dialogue in manilla 2.5. MMS is sent when you add an attachment. Maybe we could come up with a different action assigned to the MMS button instead on the LEO.

THX for the confirmation. Did the GPS button work too?
