Ok i will give you difrend guide (proper one):
1. Copy shellres.96.dll from \windows to your sd card (of my rom) and rename it to shellres.96.dll.0409.mui - if you replace the original file for this rom you may encounter unpredicted bugs thats why it is more safe to use mui file
2. Copy the file to your computer
3. Extract original resources to a folder using Resource Tuner(Resource Hacker can not extract them) or a similar program (the resources are icons 8,9,24 - 8 and 9 are exactly the same so you me skip extracting 9 but later you have to replace it too)
4. Open the old shellres.96.dll (you can get it from suns kitchen for example) extract the same resources into a difrend
5. Open the old and new resources with icon editor (i used ArtIcons - open all icons) and copy the new resources to the old ones which will give you old sized icons with new looks
6. Add the resources back to the mui file with Resource Hacker - you can also delete all other resources since they are not needed and they already are in shellres.96.dll
7. Sign the file with SignCode and proper certificate (i used SamplePrivDeveloper because it is privileged one - taken from wm6.1 sdk)
8. Now you can either copy the mui to windows folder or make a cab to do this for you.
setup xml will not work added your way because you add it as file and not as setting - but if you need to you can add it with WinCE Cab Manager as a provisioning xml info and it will add it to configuration
My fixes added to the second post
OK-X-Fix.cab uses the original resources of this build with proper size and they are edited a little by me to have better looks
OK-X-FixL.cab uses large resources - like in the rom but antialiased

Perhaps, you can ask Explode if this guide would apply to other phones.
Good Luck!

Do try to mod shellres96.dll, I tried on my blue angel running WM6.1 and it worked i just changed the startmenu icon. I dunno if this file is present in WM6.1 standard or not,

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}

{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

Yes we actually know that chome is part of theme, about that MUI and other many many files too.
Can You just post orginal Shadow rom.

Can somebody upload new Shadow update to rapidshare?

I'll post it as soon as I get home. School's proxy blocks FTP upload/download and exe files.

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:

It was a complete ROM port though. I'll see about making a CAB when I have some free time.

[Hermes and others] few questions about Manila2D

Hi, i'm new on this forum, and i have few questions about Manila (big thanks for authors ).
1. Where can I find description of files (I mean what file is for what )
2. It's all in XML?
3. How can I get Manila files?
4. How can I edit these files? Can I edit in 'on the fly' files from my PDA (I mean directly in Hermes or copy few files into PC, edit, upload to PDA and SR) or do everything in PC and compile?
5. Finally, software for that
Thanks for answers, regards
Sory for my English, i'm from Poland.

Here is a very detailed explanation of the settings file (HTCHomeSettings.xml):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427531
try to search for the others, there is a lot, especially themes.

hmmm, thanks, but i found this too. But I think about edit tabs or something like that. So I want to know much more than only HTCHomeSettings.xml. But it's better than nothing.
'try to search for the others' - do you mean use search to find descripson for every files one by one? :/ themes? I think about deeper editing

You can only edit resourse files, we don't have the source for the program.... in other words, just about everything you can edit is in the the htchomesettings .xml (and the files it calls)

joel was right,.
until now, we need to edit the HTCHomeSetting.XML,. and the file it calls,.
like modifying clock, etc,.

Thanks, this exactly is that what i want read

[Q] How to edit a cab file?

Hiya
So I figured that i better go a learn how to use this UC that i find extremly clever - however there's a few cab's that i would love to change abit to my use, for instance dont make it install all the apps its trying and so on...
However i dont really know where or how read the file - ive downloaded WinCE trial version and oped the cab, but wich file type does what and so on? Ive tried abit, deleting some program files however i still need to edit the install files to tell the cab not to install the program at all, so are there anybody out there who can guide me abit on the right direction?
And es ive allready searched this site and google, but i havnt found anything usefull :?
//M

Which program is it that you're trying to edit?
Have you tried editing the config file that lists the cabs to be installed?

If you by config file means the xml file then yes - so far so good - however now im having trouble rebuilding the cab - ive tried several times using both winrar and alZip but i cant seem to rebuild the file correctly - it dosnt even have the right size even though all ive done is to extract the files and rebuild em - what am i doing wrong?
Perhaps im just too dumb to get it - but when i open the cab file in WinCE it dosnt seem to display the _setup.xml at all - so how do i edit that file and use WinCD to rebuild the cab file?
//M

Bump!
//M

use any Cab manager to do that
or cabwiz (microsoft command line utilty)
also try this : http://nedge2k.com/cab-o-matic
or, you could PM the files and i'll cab'm up

Hmm i allready have WinCE - i just dont know how to change the cab and repack it, perhaps you could help on that?
Ive also seen that link under my search - however the site just says: "down for bug squashing..." so not much help there anyway
Thx for the offer - however the main reason is i want to learn how to do it properly
CabWiz i has been unable to find for download :?

to edit a cab, you need to have the WCM file. you can also unpack it using a Package Creator (v2.7) makes the changes needed, and create the cab again with the modifications using your CECabManager

Hmm yea i understand that much - however i fail to see how i can edit anything in WinCE when i dont have the xml file when i open the cab? I do understand the i need to unpacvk the cab, ive dont the with different programs, ive also edited the xml file to fit my request but i simply cant repack the cab with my edited xml file and get it to work? What am i doing wrong?
//M

CeCABManager supports importing information from an *.inf file.. not xml files..
you can just provide the info on the cab to the app and it'll pack it for you..

If they are .cab files you just copy the cab to your phone and install it from there.
Each .zip file has a .cab file in it for that skin.

Just plug your fuze into your computer and put the .cab files into your fuze(I usually play my cabs in the My Documents folder). You can just think of the .cad files as .exe files.
