WinMo default Icons Set for HD2

Hello everybody.
I've installed a magnificent ROM in my HD2, I like it all but the changed icons set. Is it possible to have a CAB containing thge original Windows Mobile Icons set to replace the modified one?
Or where are the files to extract from the orginal HTC rom to override the actual ones to get the original icons?
Thanks and regards
Andrea

The majority of the icons you see in a stock ROM are actually the icons embedded in the applications themselves. Icon's are generally not stored as separate entities on your device. This isn't always the case, but it's normal.
The modified icons you see are actually tied into the shortcuts, not the applications. To remove modified icons, you need to look at the following registry key...
\HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start
In there you will find registry keys that have are shortcuts and have a value called "Icon". (Guess what that is )
You can delete things from there, and as long as the app has its own icon, it will use that instead.
Just PLEASE make a backup of that whole registry key before you start. I'm not gonna be your 1st line support for the next month if you gash this up lol.
Hope that helps matey

I believe you can use a simple way to restore.JWMD Icon Changer has an option to restore/reset the icon. PLease tell us if it works.

It doesn't work...I think that the ROM has been cooked "without" the default icons

Cookie's Home Tab - coloured notifications?

Is there a way of making the notification bar at the top of Cookies home tab (when the phone is locked) coloured? I have searched the forum but cannot seem to find anything.

Just to clarify - this only alters the notification bar when the phone is locked?

so, here the full menu
It alters the notification icons in homescreen and lockscreen (they are the same), the lock icon in homescreen and the battery and signal icon in the lockscreen.
Edit: Sorry, the cab in the post was an older version of the notifications (screenshot in post 7). Now it's the right version.

rat_2665 where did you get your taskbar from please?

This is what I get when I install your notifications cab (see thumbnail).
How do I get rid of the squares around the icons??? (Artemis V 9.0 ROM with CHT 1.7.1)
Thanks,

Thank you and sorry very much. This was an old version for my personal use. I'll change the cab.

I've got DCJLeo W.M 6.5 taskbar v4d green, on my main screen,
now i would like the same in the locked bar of co0kie 1.71
Does anyone know how to do that
Thanks

You have to go in the phcanOverbmp.dll (in windows directory). Copy this file to your PC and open it with XN Resource Editor http://www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/d10resourceeditor.htm. Export the icons. Then you have to change the 6467A103_manila file (also in windows directory). Take my 6467A103_manila.png as a template for the icons and change it with for example Gimp or Photoshop. Second last step: Go with CFC GUI http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470798 to the directory of your copied 6467A103_manila file and replace the image with your changed picture. Last step: Copy this changed 6467A103_manila file in your phone's windows directory.

Hey Rat,
I'm curious about which of those .CAB files you posted earlier is the one that has the "Anastasia" glass-like design around the icons?
I'd like to use that, it would go perfectly with my theme.
Thanks in advance.

Program Icons

Hi all, I was wondering, where does HD2 store the icons for programs installed?

Using a file explorer, navigate to Application Data (Device)----HTC-----ProgLauncher.
But what are you planning to do?

Why aren't you using JWMD or CSMI to change all the program icons??
It works a lot better than really replacing/renaming them by hand

I think it would be a lot easier for you to just replace the icons with JWMD or CSMI.
When you've replaced all program icons you wanted to change, don't forget to clear Sense's cache to get results.
You can either do it manually or by using SICC
Grtz,
Degake
p.s. Are you sure you aren't seeing ".bmp" instead of ".bmg"??

The reason for wanting the stock images, is if you cannot find a png on the net to make an icon. I know how to make icons, check sig, but I am wondering why they have a file extension of .BMG? Or is it something that is messed up on my system.
I would like to retrieve the icon images for B&L gps tracker, etc, so that I may create a custom icon out of the original. Sometimes the cab installer will have a png image in the program files folder, but not usually.

[Q] Tutorial: Create or Change own Softbar for CHT2?

Is there a Tutorial on how to change an existing or create a new Softbar for CHT2?

Sure out there are some tutorials, but its actually not that hard:
You will need the program cfc_gui and a program like gimp or photoshop. You have to find the 5E90131C_manila file in your windows directory and copy it to the sd card and after that put it somewhere on your pc.
Open cfc_gui and open the folder the manila file is in. Than in the lower right corner select save as and change it as a image file.
Now you will have a image with 512x128 pixels. Open in your photo editing program a document with these dimensions.
After that you can start editing or creating a new one. The other image is only a guide so that you dont create a file that isnt usable.
If you have the image ready, then just open cfc_gui again and select the 5E90131C_manila. then in the lower right corner you press replace and choose your image. Now you have the image stored in the manila file. After that you can take the 5E90131C_manila and put it into the windows directory of your phone and overwrite the old one. After that restart sense and you are done

Thank you!
I will try it.
If I am not able to do it, after your explanation, I have chosen the wrong profession (M.SC. Computer Science) *g*
btw.
You created some great Themes and Customizations!
In which Manila files will I find the icons for cusomization? Not only the background?

Hehe^^ I am sure you will manage that, if not, just ask again
The icons are a lot easier. Just make an image with 128x128 pixels and name it:
CHT_softkey_win
CHT_softkey_menu
CHT_softkey_tabslider
CHT_softkey_phone
CHT_softkey_web
and
CHT_softkey_lock
after that just place them in your windows directory of your device and after a sense restart you are done

Great, if I get some good results I will post them.

how can i link missed calls count and sms and email to softbar and show them insted of link to oben the default web, phone, slider, lock, etc

Check this thread if you havent already.
there is a couple examples and Nordpolcamper uploaded a little guide/ template.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993177
for me it was hard to get it aligned perfectly. you could always paste a softkeybar on your wallpaper and use a transparent softkeybar as the actual bar itself.
let me know how it goes.

thanks but this is not what i was asking for ,, i want to to have my missed calls and sms email, notifications shown on task bar .. like the notification bar widget but the task bar counts it so i have for example in my taskbar instead od lock button an image (custom softkey) you know we have at CHTEditor>softkeys>custom key1,2,3 with run path1,..etc and command line and icon path but

How can I combine my changes in a .cab file?
Any tutorial out there?
Usually I use the search function, but never sure where to look for (hd2, win 6.5.x ...)

Hehe^^ well the easiest way to make a cab is using Quick Cab. Just search it and you will find it Lanch the taxi like exe and then go to files, then select all your files on the left side and then select windows on the right side and press add.
After that go to create, select the name for your program, enter your name and then go to browse, select where you want to save it, then enter the cab name press ok and then press create.
After that you are already done

Uploaded my first version.

looking good But I would recommend, that you use higher resolution icons for the softkeys, because they appear to be blurry^^

It's only the screenshot I think.
They look good on my device.

Thats quite easy But if you really want to work on the Softbars, I highly recommend just overwriting the files. Cause if you always install a cab you will get a very huge list in your programs list and that can be very messy. But if your eyes are set on it, I would suggest you download quickcab.
For simple cabs this is the best program and its very easy to use. Just set the directory to the windows folder, add what you want to copy and then give the program a name and a name for the Cab and press generate and everythings already done.
If you need help, just say so

i will just overwrite till i make a good one. ty for help

do you see the icon of WOW HD Settings? That's the icon which I can't change and I do not understand why!

If you can not see it in JWD then you will need hunt it in the registry & link a PNG file to it.
Have a look at this thread to help pin it down in registry:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6188525&postcount=1
If you have problems finding it you could export & upload parts of the registry tree for us to help.
Other option if you have installed srsWOW via cab is to edit cab/exe icons prior to install.
*JWD tip: some icons show as default JWD paint pallet & no text so you got to guess what they are ! have another good look ...
