First backup your registry and CommManagerRes.dll file from windows folder, in case later you'll change your mind and want to turn back the phone how it was.
You have to do this in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/:MSCdial
Change or delete "BannerImage"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/:MSBranding
Change or delete "BannerImage"
If you want to remove or change the call progress backgound image then do this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Progress\Po rtrait\Other\
Change or delete "bmpNormal"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Progress\La ndscape\Other\
Change or delete "bmpNormal"
And replace the CommManagerRes.dll from windows folder with this one attached here and you will get this Comm Manager:
Reboot your phone
Thanks.
I wanted to change that background for a while now.....
Chongie
for call progress you could also change Enable value in HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin to 0

i'll like to edit the font size, position and color of the text/numbers on my lockscreen.
can someone point me to the relevant parts of the registry where i can do this?
thanks a lot!
mirage86, what you're looking to do cannot be done via the registry. You will need to go into your file explorer->windows and open the lockscreen folder. There you will find five or so files. Find the LS_Lockscene_480x800 file and copy it to your pc. From there you can open it with notepad. It's pretty straight forward after you examine it after awhile. You will see font sizes and positionings. Modifying the file to what you like comes down to trial and error so make a backup of the file somewhere before making changes. After you've made the changes you want, put it back in the lockscreen folder where you found it and soft reset for the changes to take affect. Make sure you keep a copy of the altered file on your pc in the event you don't like or want to change what you've done. In that event, just open the file up again on your pc, make some adjustments, and put it back in the lockscreen folder. Hope that helps.

does anyone know? it's really weird. I can see the icons under /windows folder, but I just can make it appear on the start menu. thanks
let me clarify... by start menu.. you mean the screen in windows and the quicklinks associated with it? or your slider?
IF its the windows side you can just use an icon changer and clear cache.. if you mean like your slider.. you need to edit manila or use a cab with a slider you like
if your still at it.. try this...
If you use JWMD IconChanger go to Menu, Tools, HTC Sense Tools, Clear Icon Cache.
Click Yes and Ok when completed.
Click Yes to reboot device.
Manual way using File Explorer - go to My Device\Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher and delete all files in the folder (*.bmg files). Reboot device. If you only changed a few Icons you can delete only those files, e.g. if you change the Audio Booster’s icon only delete “Audio Booster.bmg” file and reboot.
Both methods will update Windows and Sense Icons.
Works for me.
gents, you realize this thread is from september? let old threads die...no need to post answers (which here have been mentioned in many a thread) months later if no one is asking....
and yes, i realize by posting i am not letting this thread die...
Was wondering how to change the color on this?? Im rooted if that helps i just do not like the white font color.
not sure what it is but chances are you can find apk manager
set it up
copy the apk to weather and whatever to your sd card from inside system/apps or data /app
put it on your computer and decompile it in apk manager
go in to folder called project
open up and find res/values/colors
put it in notepad and edit with the color value you want
save, recompile, sign....may need to sign in the sign folder
put apk back on phone and install.
see what happens....lol....

hi guys
i am going to make a guide for how to make a custom rom for yourself without a pc.
so straight forward first check that you have following things.
1--> a android device (rooted)
2--> clockworkmod recovery installed
3--> 100% battery
4--> atleast 1.5 GB free on external SD card
BEFORE STARTING THIS METHOD I RECOMMEND YOU TO TAKE A PRINTOUT OF WHAT THIS GUIDE SAYS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO DO WORK WITHOUT A PC ON A NON MULTITASKING ANDROID AND LOOKING TO XDA SITE OR APP EVERY TIME IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.
STEP ONE :>
First of all move all your data on internal sd card to external one and then do a factory reset.
After that goto recovery mode and follow
wipe data
wipe catch
backup and restore --> backup.
after having a nandroid backup. turn on the device normally. and just install es file explorer(it is good and provide lots of options).
STEP TWO :>
now you have a nandroid backup. goto that folder and open it. there are many files and one of them is system.******* . now copy that to a new folder where you will make a rom and paste it {remember to copy only do not cut or disturbe the original copy in backup folder just copy it}.
in the new folder look at the name system.*** you will get the original extension of that file its either .rar or .tar or.zip
now rename it as system.(the extension you found)
after renamming it just extract it and you will edit in this folder to make a new rom.
STEP THREE :>
in that folder you will see many folders just have a look at all folders and write names of those folder which have .apk files in it on paper. now those folder which have apk files are to be edited.
THERE ARE TWO TYPER OF ROME
1--> DEODEXED {HAVING ONLY .APK FILES IN THOSE FOLDER}
2--> ODEXED {HAVING .ODEX FILE WITH .APK FILES IN THOSE FOLDER}
DESIDE WHATS YOUR ROME TYPE AND FOLLOW THW GUIDE SERIOUSLY
FOR DEODEXED ROM --> now you have to give shape to your rom. i will provide you with list of apps you can change in custom rom.
launcher
gallery
camera
lockscreen
keyboard
calculator
gapps
internet brouser
file manager
you can add special apps to your device like screen recording software
and remove the default apps listed above {first remove default app and then paste the app you like}
FOR ODEXED ROM --> now you have to give shape to your rom. i will provide you with list of apps you can change in custom rom.
launcher
gallery
camera
lockscreen
keyboard
calculator
gapps
internet brouser
file manager
you can add special apps to your device like screen recording software
and remove the default apps listed above
first delete the app and its odex file and then past the new app{if you leave odex there for default app the new app wil be transformed to older once so delete odex of only those apps which you cange}
STEP FOUR :>
now you have apps of your choice and you are exited to test it.
but now its time for trickest part editing build.prop in system
inside system folder you extracted there is a file named build.prop open it and start editing
#change lcd screen density
ro.lcd_density = {increase for magnified view and decrease for a zoomed out view}
#change ram alootment to apps
delvic.vm.heapgrowthlimit = set only one value {68, 96, 124 ,256} {set a higher value than default in your file}
delvic.vm.heapsize = ste higher value than heapgrowthlimit, set only one value {96, 124 ,256} {set a higher value than default in your file}
#to get navigation bar at the bottom with three icons
qemu.hw.mainkeys = 0
save these changes {these lines are not to be edited they are there in that file only change the values ok}
STEP FIVE :>
copy the nandroid folder onto pc and save a copy of that nandroid backup on pc.
YOU HAVE MADE A CUSROM ROM BUT IT CANT BE FLASHED SO NOT GOTO THE SYSTEM FOLDER WHERE YOU EXTRACTED IT AND SELECT ALL FOLDERS INSIDE IT AND MAKE A SAME EXTENSION FILE WHICH YOU EXTRACTED IT FROM {select all folders inside system folder and make same extension file do not just select the system folder from outside go inside the folder and then do that ok}
for this step you will need a pc ofcoz.
STEP SIX :>
GREAT JOB YOU HAVE A SYSTEM.XXX RENAME IT LIKE THE NANDROID BACKUP ONE AND REPLACE THE ORIGINAL SYSTE, FILE WITH YOUR MODDED ON AND JUST CROSS YOUR FINGURES.
all steps are complete and not its time to reboot to recovert
wipe data
wipe catch
advance/wipe delvic catch
backup andrestore/advance restore/restore system
and its done first boot will take time and you have a custom rome made for yourrself on android and time to test it.
remember if you face any problem just use that nandroid which you saved on pc the original one and restore that to go back to custom rom.
if this guide helped please hit thanks.

Hi guys, i was trying today to increase the earpiece volume but it was difficult to find any hints on how to do it, any help on how to do it will be appreciated. Anyway when i was searching i stumbled on a post on how to increase the Headphones volume instead.
Here is the post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50466456&postcount=5. Ty @Shadowprince94 & @hamdimo
Anyway i tried it and it worked, you need to be rooted for this to work.
Here are the steps to do it on P8:
* Make sure to make a backup of your rom in twrp before attempting this in case something goes wrong. Or you can make a backup of the local.prop file you are going to change.
1. Go to Settings -> About phone -> Custom Version: (Ex: CUSTC470 D001)
2. Go to /cust/hw using any file explorer with root. There will be 5 files, in each of them there is a prop folder inside it a local.prop file.
3. Now try to open each of the local.prop files in the 5 folders and see which of them has your cust version (The final two lines has the cust version in the file) for me it was C470 which was in the spcseas folder.
4. Now open the local.prop with the built in text editor of the file explorer with root and then change this two lines by adding a "#" before the code. Like this:
Before:
ro.config.ce_authenticate=1
ro.config.hw.security_enabled=true
ro.config.hw.security_volume=8
After:
#ro.config.ce_authenticate=1
ro.config.hw.security_enabled=true
#ro.config.hw.security_volume=8
5. Save the file. Make sure it has the defualt root permissions and restart the phone.
Good luck, by the way the increase is not much but better than before. :good:
