Custom image set

When i extract my OEM SYS and ROM folders, i edited the battery status .bmp's(B1btn.bmp etc..) in the OEM/OEMAPPS folder, then recooked and flashed, how come the custom battery images dont show? (just shows the normal one)

Easiest way to say it is that the battery icon, though you are able to see the bmp (That one actually is for inside the phone) but the real battery icon you see on the top bar of your screen is embedded in a .dll file
You will have to extract the .dll file, insert what you want then make sure you resign the .dll file... pain in (_)(_)

Axialis icon workshop corporate v6 - easy to edit & create icon library (dll,icl)
IconCool icon editor v5 - superb to convert icon size & colour
EXeScope - to edit PE resources
Corel PaintShop Pro to convert image to lower colour scale without colour bleeding in icon creation.
SignTools

How to modify win folder ?

Hi,
Iwant to cook a rom and i want to add/ remove somme exe & dll.
Example: How to remove explorer.exe and replace it to total commander.exe ?
Is it possible?
Thx a lot

it's possible, but I would NOT try it
also, to answer your question: all files are automatically dumped into the Windows folder by default, so just edit anything

You probobly wount get a one solve all solution since the apps are working diffrently. For youre example there is no need to remove if the purpose is just to reprogram how file extinction is handled. Basicly you remove a code and file and replace it whit anotherone, operation itself is easy. The tricky part is to get it working stable on all areas, remember one aplication is depending/working togheter whit another one. Now if you remove it you need to reconfigure how that string is handled whit another solution.
A good example is removing mediaplayer, possible. But hell

Remove Startup picture

Hi guys!!
I have a question...
My question is can i somehow remove my
startup picture when phone boots up??
Im using now Zeeshans 96 dpi rom, and no offence
but hes name appears big when i boot up phone, so
how is it possible to remove it??
Cheers

The first or the second?

Not the windows logo, another picture displays right after it

It's the second splash screen.
See here its name :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Startup\1]
"Splash"=...
or
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Startup]
"Image"=...
Replace image with another one.
Bye.

and forgot to ask...
HOw do i acess registry in phone??

On Vox :
* Total Commander
or
* PHM Registry Editor
On PC (Vox plugged) :
* Ceregeditor
Bye.

ive installed and searched after the registry, couldnt find
any of them that youve typed m8

Couldn't find what ?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Startup\1]
"Splash"=...
or
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Startup]
?
If you can't find startup, i don't understand...

i cant either find startup under System or HTC maps

Make a regdump, attach it on your post, i'll see if if find pictures.
(use Regdump.exe)
http://dillsoft.com/index.cgi?program=RegistryDump-PPC
Bye.

Samsung Wizpro theme. Any ideas how to edit AdvHomePlug.dll?

Hi everyone
A few days ago i bought a Samsung C6625 (Valencia). The thing that looked nice on it was the wizpro theme and i whanted to see if i can modify it.
I finaly found a few information about it, but still i dont know where to start
Is there anione here that could take these files and see what cand be done?
If there are other information needed i would gladly give them Just tell me what to do.
The atached archive contains the dll file i found reference to in the registry. AdvHomePlug.dll and the theme xml that lead me to the registry clsid key.

What sort of modifications ur looking at?
You can use resource hacker to extract and edit the images in AdvHomePlug.dll. Those are all the interface images including the leftbar menu and the main window, contacts, wmp, etc...
All images are in PNG Format. U can extract and replace. If it is theme colors its in the voda xml file. I dont see any digital signatures on the dll and mui files you posted, how did u transfer the files? normal copy or ROMExtractor?
If you didnt do normal copy these require digital signatures before copying back, search xda how to self sign apps. Also it helps if u app unlock ur phone.

I copied the file normaly using explorer. About the modifications... I`ve seen on other samsung models the same wizpro theme but with different arangement of tabs.
And i was thinking maybe there are some mods for this like with chome just asking i dont know

I dont have the phone on me to check it, maybe tomorrow i can borrow it, I do however remember some regitry entries for playing with tabs, its been a while since i had this phone. check under HKCU\Software under mpharos or samsung.

I found those registry entries but i can only modify images for the theme. Are there any other registry entries where i can modify things like... plugins that show up, the order of those plugins, things like that?

Could you please dump the registry key HKCU\CLSID\{583AD178-223A-4bcd-AFBE-EBB50536F8BE}
for me?
I will help you with customizing the plugin!

That registry key just points to dll file.
Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{583AD178-223A-4bcd-AFBE-EBB50536F8BE}\InprocServer32]
@="AdvHomePlug.dll"
I have attached the whole Wizpro OEM package.

Is there some way tomake it available for 176x220 screen?

Wizpro does not works on BJII - I have tried cooking it in ROM, but nothing happens - just a blank screen with background picture. Maybe some drivers are missing. Haven't figured it out yet.

Problems
I have a Samsung i637 phone.
I have problems with Wizpro. When I receive a sms, I can read the sms, but when I try to return to home page (wizpro), I can not see it.
After some minuts, the wizpro does not appear, and instead appear the message "Anything home screen theme was found".
I have unlock security in the phone.
I have changed to multimedia home screen, but I need use the Wizpro.
What could be cause this problem???

Hi. I am triyng wm 6.1 st on mcrsft device emulator and I would like to try samsung's C6625 original wizpro theme. I dwnld the package from previuos page and copy it both to ap data/home and /windows/.

Hey LtBlue, there is something wrong with his registry settings, they not correctly setting the files on some devices, you'll need a registry editor, active sync your phone and run the reg edit from your pc and change the following:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation :
StartupGif - \Windows\animated.gif
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen :
CarriereBitmap - \windows\welcomehead**.png
MSBitmap - \windows\welcomehead**.png

the ** means the number at the end of the name of the image, dont put "**" cos it wont work.
