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!

Is this the one you are reffering to?
the icon is in phcanOverbmp.dll
Use resh to strip it

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.

Thanks to everyone for the quick replies!
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...
DrXDA
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.
DrXDA
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...

Any problem or issue with that ROM ?
I am using Blue Elves v5.0 rom but the menu of LG Menu is useless to me. Otherwise is a great rom.
Before it used to viet version 52.
Thanks
Fcc
Brasil
the multiple selection issue solved? (can not multiple selection, SMS, file explorer,ETC)
auto turn off issue solved? (TCPMP,TOMTOM,etc, auto turn off, screen turn off after approx.5min)
these are my most concern...otherwise, im using V52...waiting for Pham solving these problem.
According to the guys at pdaviet.net, best stable so far is v44...but I can assure you that v45 has no problems with multiple selection. v46 and up have it.
If anybody can convince me that v44 is indeed better, I'll go back a version heheh.
Cheers!

New Pdamobiz MANILA 2D Rom
try this nice rom
you know the password for WOW rom 1.1 ??? thanks
i think those are thai, not vietnamese???
This is okay but locks up frequently. Back to find another rom lol.
this is NOT PDAviet ROm, please note PDAMobiz is thailand forum - which is different
i just notice : with this ROM, we CAN CUSTOMIZE the manila widgets/icons!!! thats a good thing! i dont need email but would love to have others for example.
cant understand a word in that forum but i saw a nice kitchen software which looks very easy to use (by vivi)
well again, i wish they write everything in english. if someone speaks thai and member of pdamobiz, can i please ask you the password for Wow 1.1 Rom ?? thanks
flashed few mins ago. all running, will see tomorow. the splash screen is gorgeous
BUT:
too many softwares in this build. light version would be good. for example RSS reader, core player, etc etc. which is not everyone will like to have on their elf.
well, i feel this rom has some issue with memory stability. sometimes becomes very slow. also too many duplicated softwares. example, it has 2 calculators, 2 notes, 2 media players, etc
will flash my elf again tonight. maybe will try gullum's or aman's.

I flashed this rom and it looks good so far but there are parts of the rom that are in Thai and parts that are english. For example the menus are english but the date is in Thai which means that I can't set the date because I don't know how to read Thai.
Does anyone have a solution?

It should go by flashing a proper one over it. I got a green lined bootscreen when trying to flash a new one over my Orange one. Took a few setting tweaks, but somehow I got around it by getting the right padding size.
Too many theads relating directly to the fuze! Here is one big thead. Please post in here That way, we don't flood the whole Raphael forums with fuze this and fuze that. I'll edit the first post as we go. Or a mod can also.

5. The absolute second you touch the screen hit the stylus reset.
6. When your device starts TF3d will NOT be in your today Items
7.Go to today settins and disable everything
8.Use file explorer to go to windows and find PT_Manila_Reg .cab and run it

Q: TF3D is very slow and laggy. Sometimes it doesn't respond at all.
Install: Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3 and enable various tweaks and also install Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7 and enable the various tweaks to make TF3D faster. If this doesn't work, flash a custom rom and see if that makes a difference.

got another one.....
I get a popup keyboard alot... I installed the null keyboard and it helps but find the bottom bar popping up very annoying.
How do i get rid of that?
i tried a theme called vista ultimate which i liked alot but when i slide the keyboard out it doesnt go to the launcher screen it turns tf3d on its side but of course it doesnt work that way
how do we know which themes will actually work with our pro?
or how do i make the launcher come up with that theme
Good idea:
My Fuze is always connected via EDGE, even though I live in a 3G serviced area (San Francisco Bay Area). I'm assuming the phone is choosing the stronger of the two signals by default, which is fine for voice, but EDGE is excruciatingly slow for streaming video. Is there a way to force the phone to use the 3G connection?

A lot of the diamond themes wont work on the Fuze in landscape mode. I think that Vista Ultimate is one of Nisse's themes so maybe send him a message and see if he has a version for the Fuze.

Make note in the skip the bloat that they must also install the HTC_PPC_opera_9 cab from windows if they want the internet tab of tf3d to work.
Q: The original TF3D theme is ugly! How can I change it without flashing the rom?
As Kraize said most you can find in the thread he linked. However, so far none of the background changing mods have worked foe me. It completely breaks TF3d. I think it will take a few days to figure out this versions backgrounds.
MODS please sticky this. Its already getting insane with Fuze posts.

FUZE and VIsta WMDC need help
Just got my fuze last night. Tried installing the software on my laptop - for some reason the WMDC does not recognize the device. Evey time I hook up the fuze the laptop tried to install a driver. NOw my 8525 doesn't work with the laptop too! Any help sorting this all out would be greatly appreciated. I mainly need to get my contacts from the 8525 (running WM5) to the Fuze.
Thanks
Kriaze, Thank you so much for starting this thread. This is going to be so helpfull to all us new Fuze owners. This is why XDA is the GREATEST for us HTC users.
So many thanks to EVERYONE...

I joined this site just for the release of the Fuze/Touch Pro although I'm waiting for Black Friday to purchase. I have 2 questions for those that already have it:
Does the Fuze come with the USB-headphones like the Touch Pro?
If not, would the one from Sprint work?

It does not come with the headphones but does come with an adapter to allow you to use 2.5 and 3.5mm headphones of your choice. It also allows the fm radio to work just fine.
Edit: and yes the sprint headphone will work. They are just the generic htc usb headphones/headset.
Sashimi?
Forgive me as it has been a long time since i have been a part of these forums. When i was using my tilt around the time 6.1 official came out i had sashimi set up perfect for post flashes. I just got my sashimi folder back to where i wanted it to install on the FUZE yet it is erroring out due to screen resolution sizes. Does anyone know if a new version was released to support the vga devices or did this die with the author being banned.... Thanks for the help!
Hi just wondering if anyone knows how to or a guide to create and change the manilla 2.6 icons to hi res, most of the htc ones are fine anyway, its just the manilla launch icons are bigger than the windows mobile 6.5 ones and im not sure how to change the for example tomtom navigator one as it just uses the standard low res icon.

I think when you choose the icons it resizes itself to needed size.
since i moved to windows mobile i use only english for contacts,

I'm sure this has already been asked though for the life of me I can't find out where.

Hold on...let me get this straight. You want to return back to the stock rom that originally came with the phone
or
Instead you would like to return to default settings of the cooked rom you just recently flashed...?
Not the ROM itself, just the icons in the top bar, the stock graphics from a 6.5.3 ROM.
