Make the Vox working for 96dpi ??? - HTC Vox

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.

[Solved] need to get an alternative tapres.dll to work in WM6

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?

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
Raceit pointed me to the resource file:
tapres.dll.0409.mui

Thanks Raceit !!!
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.

[Apr 2, 2008] WM6.1 CHS/WWE "poium"

This ROM was linked in the WM6.1Pro thread, but it is a Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard ROM. I don't have the build information available, because the About applet is missing.
It defaults to CHS (Chinese), but English is included. You'll either have to regedit the language (HKCU\MUI ... set the value to 0x409) or change it "blind" via Settings/Regional Settings.

same clean rom.
plus
1-jawa (esmertec jbed)
2-open/close sounds
3-black screen saver
4-resco explorer
5-new icon
Anybody else going to report on this rom?
I flashed it and ran out of room on the Rom pretty quick. I put on M$ VC 1.6, Live messenger, T-9 English in the main memory, then I put on Live Search, Google Maps, Sirius, Office, Adobe, and oxiosmemory. I was left with about 3mb on the main Rom.
Every reboot, It went back to chinese in the Regional settings, so I had to keep resetting that back to English. Other than that. Fast as ever. Everything works on it.

This is realy cool
I have tested this version and Its working preatty fast and sooth. MY SP5 picks all nicely and all net options and key mappings are fine. aditional optios for activating/deactivating sms threading. New pannel to run your own programes from home screen ...if you are fine with xml, you can custermize this the way you want. basicly having extended mail box and Nitrogens screen notificantions from his WM6 palitinum rom ...this is the best version so far.
As usual , again a request for all our experts (nitro specialy for you ) just use this kernal as the base and release a extended version like WM6 palitinum SP1.

Software path : actual path of the programe.
Eg: "\windows\camera.exe" without quotes !
Picture path : insert as above any icon to be displayed.
File name: Application name that you need to display in the slider.
Text name :Aditional discription if need to see on the slider.

WM does not identify taga as a native picture format. use .ico/png/gif or jpg.
further you can use icon off the any DLL file.however you have know about icon ID and call that in Picture path:
Eg: Picture path : 4601 , means icon "play".
Lead it into the Windows Directory, or, Just open the registry with registry editor and see how they did it. I could only get a few to work. I ran out of Ram so I flashed back to Gnats rom.
This is quite possibly the best rom I have tried. I've been using it for a couple of days and still haven't found a bug I couldn't fix myself.

Ok, You may need to have a addon with the plugin, to access the default icon from the any app you are going to access with. this is still in opening stage and sure, our experts will come up with more solutions with addon. anyway sice this is very fine tuned OEm tornado 6.1 rom I strongly recomending not to go with any registry edits for just showing the default icon. you have 2 solutions, 1. use any icon packeger and dump the default icon from your app, copy it to your phone then update the path using icon path. 2. use smiler icon from the dll.
I just found the same subject off another thread and you may find more advance options for custermizing this slider.

thanx mate!
trying now
I'm downloading the file, the amount of bug you fixed are marvellous!!!
I'm not sure though, since it's only the kitchen sync it is unless unless someone mixes it with gonzo's windows 6.1 rom ?
Is there someone knowledgeable willing to create that ?
the building went ok, but flashing gives an image corrupted error.
I can unfortunately not open some setting pages (Sounds, Home Screen, Accessibility, Regional Settings, Owner Infarmation, About, Error Reporting, GPRS Authentication, CSD Line Type, Device Name) and Wifi is not loaded on default, neither is it present in M$ CommManager. I'll see what I can do!
BTW: These are the same problems I had, when I built a 96dpi ROM myself!
EDIT: Oh and Active Sync doesn't work! There is still too much MteoR stuff in this kitchen/ROM.
EDIT2: What is the reg-key to change the start menu layout to grid view?
OK here is the progress, Wifi is working. Settings pages are still not working. Are they working with ZeeShee's ROM? Some more links are put into start menu, still no office, because the mxip isn't installed, trying to solve this... And I don't like the black top bar!
EDIT: OK Office Problem should be fixed!
hi
yes wifi not wokring. .need to load driver
many other things not working..
Wifi is working now, but I can't connect to secured networks, the page for the settings of a wireless network doesn't open. Grid view is working, but I can't write a new text message! The problems with the settings pages is still present! I had the same problem when I tried to use German mui files from 6.0 in 6.1. I am not using the black theme any more, it didn't load properly on startup and I could acces the settings page for home screen, so I am on Slide custom now
Do the settings pages work I mentioned??

Probably, but I want to have it nearly bug-free before I release it! I have some BuildOS errors at the moment, but I know what the problem is! If the settings and Office work correctly I am done, but uploading takes a while. A new kitchen will follow too!
Why is this rom better then Zeeshee's?
This is not a ROM, it's a kitchen, so you can build your own ROM with it.

Location of [3G] icon in WM 6.1 ROMs [UNSOLVED]

Hi all,
I've been searching for a way to change the ugly [3G] icon that's displayed on the title bar in WM 6.1 on my Kaiser. The current official icon looks distorted as if it has been stretched and is really ugly! I'm talking about the large plain 3G icon, not the one with the antenna next to it.
So far I've come across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351770
This thread refers to shellres.96.dll and also to a .CAB which contains a modified version of phcanOverbmp.dll. I extracted these two DLLs from my device and checked them with several resource editors, but could not locate the dreaded [3G] icon... I could find the battery, phone, wi-fi, and many other icons in there, but not the [3G] one. So it must be stored in a different DLL... Note that I'm using WM 6.1 (not 6.0). Could it be that these icons are located in a different DLL in WM 6.1?
Does anyone know the location of the [3G] icon in WM 6.1 ROMs? I want to do the modification myself (I'm a programmer and know how to do it). I just can't find the file it is stored in.
Any info/help is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks to all!

Wow, your version looks better! The one I'm referring to is the one I'm attaching to this post. This is the icon that comes with the official 6.0/6.1 Kaiser ROMs.
This has got to be the ugliest, most distorted icon I've even seen in a WM device! It may sound like a minor detail to a lot of people, but it just spoils the otherwise beautiful Today screen of my Kaiser, that's why I want to change it if possible.

Are you sure it's in there? I tried checking phcanOverbmp.dll again using both PE Explorer and Resource Hacker, but it's not there, or I'm doing something wrong. I'm attaching the DLL to this post, if someone wants to check it out. This is the file that came straight out of my device, which is exactly the same as the file I extracted from the official ROM files (HTC WM 6.1 WWE). I just can't find the [3G] icon in there...

Thanks for the suggestion. I've just tried resh on the DLL suggested above, but can't find the dreaded [3G] icon!!! See my previous post.
I think it's in the shellres.96.dll file. Check in there. I just checked mine and it's under Icon->44->0.

Many thanks for posting. Unfortunately this is not the same icon! I found this earlier on while I was searching the shellres.96.dll DLL. See attached image. This is the small version (3G logo on top-left), which is part of the animation it shows while connecting. This icon looks OK. The one I'm referring to is the large plain 3G icon with large distorted fonts, as shown in my post #5 above.
Thanks again for trying. I can't believe it's so difficult to find this little icon!
Still can't find it! Aaarghhh!
Hi again, sorry for bumping this, if any of the cooks out there reads this thread and has successfully modified the [3G] icon on a WM 6.1 ROM, I'd be really grateful if they could let me know how they did it. As said above, I was expecting to find it as an icon resource in a DLL, but checking both shellres.96.dll and phcanOverbmp.dll it's just not there... There are 500+ DLL files in the thing, so it's near-impossible to check them all manually...
If anyone knows anything about the whereabouts of this mystery icon, please let me know.
Many thanks in advance to everyone in the forum, your help is greatly appreciated.

Try IconsExtract from www.nirsoft.net. You can point IconsExtract at a folder and tell it to scan sub-folders too; just give it the root folder of your dumped ROM and let it go.....
As several people have already said, the icon is almost certainly in the pcCanOverBMP.dll file; there are about ten "3G" icons in my (WM6.0) version, most of which are the small versions that get displayed when a 3G data transfer is taking place......BUT, there is (at least) one icon that could be the main icon.
When you look at the output from IconsExtract, the 3G icons don't actually show until you click on them to highlight them, which makes me think they may be kinda transparent icons?
Have a go....see what you think
Mark.
phcanOverbmp.dll is where the 3G icon is located. I have a nice looking 3G icon from back in the Hermes days that works on the kaiser I will upload later if you still need it.
@Mark Crouch: Many thanks for the suggestions. I've never used IconsExtract, it sounds like the ideal solution for batch-extracting the icons in the 100s of DLLs in the ROM. I will give it a try and post my findings here.
About phcanOverbmp.dll, if you guys are absolutely certain that it's in there, then I must be doing something wrong. I tried at least 3 different resource editors and could not find it. But I did notice that different editors showed slightly different data (for e.g., Visual Studio's resource editor wasn't able to display all data for some reason). I hope IconsExtract will manage to show the dreaded icon.
@austinsnyc: Another vote for phcanOverbmp.dll, many thanks for this. Let me do some tests and if I still can't find it I'll ask you for the file.
Thx guys, will post here when I do the tests.

I am 100% sure that the 3G is in phcanOverbmp.dll.... Again you can also find the cab I am talking about by searching Xda for "clean 3G icon" you might find it in the hermes section but it works fine for Kaisers as well Now a CUSTOM 3G would be totally awesome and something I have not seen before except by using WiseBar Advanced which I don't like to use.
Still can't find it!
Hi again, I've just tried IconsExtract to extract all icons in phcanOverbmp.dll. Guess what? The damn [3G] icon still doesn't show up! There's only one icon in there (not related to 3G) and also some bitmaps (again unrelated to 3G).
Can someone please download the version of phcanOverbmp.dll that's in my Kaiser (it can be found here), and check it out to see if you can find the icon? I'm really looking forward to your results. Note that this DLL is the original file that is contained in the official HTC ROM, I've double checked this by extracting the same file from the official ROM image and comparing the two. It's definitely official and untouched.
Please note that I'm using the official HTC WM 6.1 WWE ROM (not the old WM 6.0 ROM). My guesses are that either the WM 6.1 ROMs don't have the icon in there, or maybe the icon is stored in a non-standard way, so the normal resource editors can't extract/show it.
Any ideas are welcome.
I think I'm beginning to give up on this...

The attached file is the one I have been using on Kaiser and previously used on the Hermes I had - no problems on either devices. I like it and am still using it today on WM6.1 PDAviet v7
I Believe that it was inside an add-on package from one of Schap's earlier WM6 roms (mid-2007).
search xda for "clean 3g icon" if you care to know it's history.

Many thanks, I will give it a try to see what happens. I quickly checked the phcanOverbmp.dll contained in your .CAB and voila! The 3G icon is in there (and looks nice too)! What I still don't understand is the fact that the 3G icon is NOT in my own phcanOverbmp.dll (original file from HTC). How come?
Anyway, I will try the .CAB to see what it does. But still, I was expecting to find the 3G icon in my Kaiser's original DLL too, so I can change it myself as needed. This is still a mystery to me...
Thanks again.

the reason i think HTC changes it from build to build and also something strange that might be cause of your problem inside the kaiser OS.nb there are to pecanoverlook.dll)) one is just like that one and the onther is _pecanoverlook.ddl which is swapped out for one another when Autro-run is run...
may not mean didle **** just a thought.

if you use nrg weather app and are having trouble with it and the theme
you can try chome configurator here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393104 go in to it and hit ctestuiplugin and hit show exit out
it used to work for me but with the one I have now I have to us a reg edit and go to security/chome/defaultsettings/ctestuiplugin change disabled to 0 and go to
software/Microsoft/chome/ctestuiplugin change disabled to 0
here is some cpr. files if the clock slide changes back.just install the cab one is for 3.0 to 3.2 and one is for 2.0 to 2.3 then go to options in the weather app layout options and pick one of the cpr. the weather app over writes the cpr file in windows so win you pick a layout it will kill the clock slide till you put the cpr files I made in it
here is some original wallpaper that came with the htc diamond and I added a bronzeres.dll with black diamond icons
and if you are using my theme I added a clear clock so you can add your own wallpaper the original had a black background all you have to do is add the files to the windows folder on the phone and if you us the black bronzeres.dll just switch to a noun slide theme thin add it
to the windows folder if you us freddy's menu or dialer I added icons to the icon folder for the icon folder for them.http://allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2321&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=10
*snip* :-D .. (some microwaves might have fried my brain - now it works )

I apoplogize ahead for my ingnorance! I am downloaded the cab you posted, but I am very new to this nd I don't know what I need to do w all the files. I assumed it was a an auto installation cab, so if anyone can help I appreciate it, I really like the theme nd it looks like you did an excellent job.

It sounds like you unzipped the cab file because otherwise you wouldn't see all the files. Redownload the cab and save it to your phone, but do not extract the files from it first. Then use file explorer on your phone to start the cab install by clicking on the cab file.
hey coo theme who created it?
i have this installed and running on a Blackjack 1 with 6.1, everything seems to work right except the clock and the slider panels. The clock is the standard clock not the one on the screenshot of the OP, the slider panels are blue no matter what back ground i use.
Is the default background supposed to be the black diamound one? I bet its not showing up because this is not made for a landscape device. could this be made for a landscape device?
OK look at the second posters avatar.....my screen looks just like that. Isn't it supposed to have the diamound style clock and background? When i switch the the diamound green or diamound fire they both show up fine, just the clock is not diamound and the panels are blue.

sorry i did not make it for landscape and it would not work on it
ok, well thats to bad, it is really a cool home screen. I didn't think there would ever be this kind of screen on a smartphone.
Great work though! I wish i could figure out how to do this kind of stuff!
Well i took a pic of something black and made it my home screen and with the blue sliders it looks pretty good! So i don't have the clock like i wanted but, all the other stuff works and i have a pretty cool looking home screen!
Thanks!

So I installed cab on phone succesfully, but I went to settings, more, regional settings nd I tried to change the time format like you said but it only gave me a few to choose from ( 11:19:42 am or pm) but wouldn't let me enter in 00:00:00 or anything else. Please help & thanks.
edit: FYI it seems to be working just fine w/out adjusting those settings, excatly what does changing the time format do? Thanks again nd I luv the new theme, keep up the good work.
johnnyeoneal: you have it right I just put the 00:00:00 for currant time and if you didn't change your time to that format it would not line up with the diamond like boxes
