Porting T-Mobile Shadow's Chome plugin to other devices.

Hello.
I'v trying this for a couple of hours without effects.
Dumped rom, builded modules with PKGTool. Files are in OEM/Oemdrivers and SYS/Chome. It does't run by just copying. Need some way to regsvr dll files. Because Chome plugin is accesing partial plugins by GUID.
Anyone have idea?

I did the exact same thing. I haven't had any time to try anything else because I have finals next week. I'll let you know if I get anything

To all helpfull shadow users
Can some T-Mobile Shadow user backup those registry keys?
all those are in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\
Code:
{D7B35490-A4B2-4ef4-BF8D-332C4979F14E}
{892B90CB-9806-427e-8BED-F45C6A9E576B}
{E98FBDCC-6664-4c5b-BB62-20932ED37762}

{06BC7E69-CE13-4028-9454-C27A32F56197}

{7B4E69B9-C032-4134-81BE-D6F360B30576}
or better just backup HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ and send me PM - I'll sent my mail.
You can use Registry Workshop to do this.
Those keys don't contains any personal information or settings so it's safe- don't worry.
//////////////////////////Edit////////////////////////////////
I've recieved all CLSID from [email protected]://allshadow.com forums but still no luck...

I'll be getting my own Shadow in a couple of days. I can do the backup then. Once again, I don't have much time to do anything else because of school and a robotics team I'm on.
Nice job finding those keys!
When I tried flashing my first rom with all of the CHome plugin stuff in it, the ROM flash to the wizard stopped at 78%...

I uploaded all the plugins and .png + reg entries that seems to be used with the chome home screen. all files are here:
http://www.esnips.com/doc/14b31b95-2c8f-4ae9-a6c9-1453df7d05e6/shadow
copy all the files in Windows to Windows folder. Add all the registry entries and copy T-mobile_basic_blue to Application Data\home\ folder.

Once I've tried to put all the files to my phone, I even got all the regedits (or maybe I've missed something) and I just got a white space on my homescreen.

how do i add the registry's to my phone?? do i add them with a reg edit app??

You cannot normally import .reg files on smartphones. However Resco Explorer from resco.net can do that.

Have You manage to run this plugin on non shadow device?
Files are easy to extract but make it work does not.

I tried on qtek 8500. It doesn't run and after reset the device stucks. Need a hard reset to factory defaults to work again. fortunately I had a backup.

I just got my own T-Mobile Shadow and I found out that you need to have a .scheme/.home XML file that sets the plugin. I think it's called cmhome.home. Also, you need cmhomeres.dll.0409. I'm going to try adding these in to the rom...
...unless they are already there and I haven't noticed

any update.. can i have a copy of the rom u builded thx

Can somebody upload new Shadow update to rapidshare?

Rom link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5GART6H6. Sorry I forgot to upload before

Thanks for posting the new ROM!
I had some success with the old one here:
http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y15/GnatGoSplat/3125Shadow/
It was a complete ROM port though. I'll see about making a CAB when I have some free time.

Sounds like a HTCHomeSettings.xml mismatch issue.
If your going to update any 2D theme make sure you use the new themes HTCHomeSettings.xml or adjust the original one accordingly.
Check the developement & Hacking section for more help.

HTCHomeSettings.xml
Hm, but this file HTCHomeSettings.xml is already inside this ROM and I cant delete it. It always shows me "You cant delete it". How can I delete it ROM files ?

You can only over write it, first turn off 2D from the today menu and then copy your new xml file to the windows directory.

im having trouble with that too! everytime i try to edit an xml file, I try to copy it to my windows directory and i always get an error message. and it just copies it and doesn't replace it

Make sure you turn off 2d in /setting/personal/today/
Before trying to change the xml file.

TOUCHFLO2D files
Yes. I have the same problem I cant edit the XML file because ALL TOUCHFLO 2D files are inside ROM that's why nobody can makae any modification. It could be solved if every ROM files will be unlocked for editing and deleting. Please, Can someone UNLOCK ROM files ?

Why would you be deleting any of those files in the first place? Download TotalCommander or Resco, shut down TouchFlo (as Ttran has stated twice now), edit or overwrite old files on phone, turn TouchFlo back on.

Thanks ttran001 for support.

Digital clock
My problem is that If I install digital clock for MANILA2D it doesnt run. I have to again recopy the HTCHomeSettings.xml, but after that I again have the anolog clock. Where is problem ? I had original WM6 ROM and Manila 2D installed the digital clock worked fine but I havent any free device storage free. That's the reason why I had to flash the original ROM.

You can try change with M2D customizer v0.11,hope it'll help you.

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/. When I select touchwiz from settings/home screen(4), there is this error message "the layout U have selected cannot be loaded...etc... So, where is mistake? How to make it work?

How to change the "waiting" animation?

When the HD2 is busy there is a little "waiting" animation in the middle of the screen.
I wonder how to change this against an own animation?

you need to change dll file with your own icon ,if you install the DJC leo taskbar ,there is already another wait cursor with blue points turning around.

Ok, thanks. Is there a tutorial how to change the dll?

You need to use a resource editor like PE Explorer (not free) or reshacker (free) and edit the embedded images within the shellres.xxx.dll

Many thanks - do you have the path of shellres.xxx.dll? Where will i find it?

it's under our windows folder

The Windows folder. Odds are you won't be able to copy and pasteit out. You'll have to extract it from the actual NBH file of the ROM.
dwizzy130

Thanks!
I have a question: i have installed the Dusk theme and there has changed the waiting animation - there is now a black bar in the middle in which a green line is running. I would like to have the Dusk theme with the original WM 6.5 "waiting" animation (the 4 colored points). Could you provide me the original dll? BTW, ich couldn't find shellres.xxx.dll on my HD2. Used Resco Explorer and File Explorer. Searched in windows.

Look for shellres.xxx.dll.mui in the Windows folder then.
dwizzy130

I now found the shellres.192.dll in the windows folder and modified it, using Reshacker. But when I copied it back to the windows folder the phone crashed.
Should i have the shellres.192.dll unsigned before editing? What's signing/unsigning good for?

You don't need to unsign it before editing, though it is a good practice, but you do need to sign it after you're done editing it. And I always use a cab to place it into the Windows folder.

Cause i cant copy the shellres.dll from my device to my pc "cant copy....." i tryed this with totalcommander :-(

Hey mate
good job Thank you

Very Basic Question
Up to now I have only "consumed" as a user, but I start to dig deeper...
Basic Question: The manila files contain only pictures (skins, buttons etc.)? There is no code in?
So if I modify one of the manilas, I just change the appearance of that specific part of the screen?
If anyone could confirm or explain the function of the manila files, would be great.

Some Manila files are only graphics (called QTC) others are Luascripts and Mode9 (what you call code).
The tool described above will help you for the graphics

oh wow loads better than manila editor thanks man

Your welcome!

Which manila file is responsilbe for the day format in the weather tab?

copy your manila files in a folder on your pc and scan the folder with this
http ://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464984 (remove the space before the : to get the link to work) and it'll give you the name of the files and therefore their functionality

I figured out that it is 308671e5_manila.
I edited the file to the desired format but it doesn't change in the weather tab.
Any idea?
