Hello all, Im trying to test and see which roms will work with the new Rhodium menu enhancements and Rhodium notification enhancements cabs that have become available recently. The links describe how they require a minimum of 21000 or higher build ROM that is hard to determine on some newer roms because of the recent microsoft attorney hoax resulting in removing links. Can someone please list a rom or roms they have used that has worked with the above cabs installed and working. I will post the links I have obtained these cabs from below. Thanks in advance and everyone be well.

Well from the looks of it in those screen shots, it looks to be VGA and would need to be scaled for our device...

AT ppcgeeks.com thanks to gadgetfreak theres a cab for QVGA if that will help but I think were still stuck at a rom build sticking point until we know which is compatible with these apps. I just found some more QVGA cabs in this thread also - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=491457&page=13

THANKS
Well, I have a 21032 port coming soon that happily runs the new menu enhancement. As for the Notification enhancement, no one has gotten it to run on QVGA devices correctly, yet. It requires TF3d and a few other things are hardcoded into the files, so it may still be awhile before we see this on a QVGA device.
Essentially, any new ROM build that is using 21028 or 21032 will support the menu enhancement. There is belief that the new enhancements require a 21000+ gwes.exe.

I'm working on rescaling all the images in the cabs for both in QVGA. Notifications ended up having a dll with icons in it. Going to have to replace the icons. It has 32x32 pixel icons and QVGA uses 16x16 pixel icons. This will also mean sdkcerts will be needed so this dll can be recognized once I mod it.

I've tried this, and it doesn't really work too well. I've also tried playing around with the values in the DLL File (not the images), but they don't seem to be the normal X,Y,W,H like they should be

Yea, the work on notification enhancement has hit some serious snags, they've had some trouble just getting it from WVGA to VGA properly. Haha but I'm sure some of you guys in the Kaiser forums could whip it into shape, I'm always amazed at what gets done around here.
I can report the QVGA menu enhancement works just fine on Anryl's 21032 Iolite build. The PPC Geeks cab that got posted works fine but they changed the colors to a funky purple, I've been using this one which keeps the stock green: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3454909&postcount=130
There's a couple of other QVGA skins lurking around in that thread, too. From what I've gathered, nobody has gotten it to work on a 6.5 build yet? Seems that the gwes.exe isn't directly compatible.
So Far
All I did was install the notification enhancement from the first post and rebooted. I was using a 6.5 rom with chome or whatever its called so it didnt run correctly since I wasnt running m2d. I will post back after I reflash pdacorner v20 and try again.

You can try installing the "wizard retouched dialer" cab on top..it may be an issue with the touch dialer package in the rom as I just tried on the beta I'm testing with and was able to get into both smart dialing options and options under the dialer Menu button.

hmmm, the "wizard retouched dialer" is the package that i included in my rom, i had removed the dialer package that was in your kitchen. I'll try just installing the cab and see if that works. Thanks again Famewolf.
Update: Famewolf you were right, the package i used in the build must have been missing a file. Use the attached cab and it will fix the problem.

The "HTC Touch Dialer" in the kitchen is actually part of the Hermes port I did (I just moved it to OEM for those who wanted to remove it and use standard dialer..you can swap between the two by enabling or disabling the "phone skin" registry edit [an option in schaps advanced config]) so you'd do better to use that package as opposed to the older retouched one for your next build. Glad to help.
Hi Guys!!!
Good rom! All working. I dont have any problem. All usefull apps included. What can I say? Download and install!!!!
Thank you newbie1221!
Please consider two tweaks:
1) the registry setting that turns in a circle or a "C" when you are using the keyboard for 'all caps' or 'symbols'
2) a good freeware registry editor. Total Commander has one but it is klutzy.

As far as bluetooth problems go, I can't offically say that there are any. (i dont use it) Again this rom is built off of famewolf's slim rom so if there are any bugs/fixes in his rom they would be applicable to this rom as well.

PointROM v 2.0 Windows Mobile 6.1/PointUI 1.51a ROM - DOWNLOAD (LZX Version)
By Ace10134
Summary
The first T-Mobile Wing ROM with the original PointUI cooked in! If you loved the original PointUI (v 1.51a), then you'll love this ROM! It's got the amazing interface of PointUI, and some other enhancements to top it off!
How to Flash This ROM

Features:
RUU/Flash Center compatible
20.64 MB Free RAM and 35.21 MB Free Storage Space on fresh install (LZX: 20.16 MB Free RAM and 45.19 MB Free Storage)
PointUI basically replaces the entire today screen! It acts as a Today Screen, Start Menu, CommManager, Lock Screen, Task Manager, Contacts List, Volume Control, and probably more!
Touch scrolling (not TouchFLO) - Very smooth scrolling through everything. And, PointUI has it's own scrolling, which is extremely smooth
Speedier than the default T-Mobile ROM
T-Zones Data Plan Hack is already set up (using epc.tmobile.com)
Threaded SMS
Doesn't automatically delete your CAB's upon installation
EzInput keyboard - Finger friendly keyboard
Finger friendly Volume controls - Both the PointUI volume controls AND the Windows Mobile volume controls are finger friendly!
When in PointUI, you can use your Volume slider to navigate. Slide up to return to a previous menu, and slide down to scroll down one
Installed Programs
PointUI v 1.51a (The original PointUI interface)
ActiveSync
Bluetooth Explorer
Calculator
Calendar
Camera
Contacts
File Explorer Enhanced
Google Maps v 3.2
Help
Internet Explorer (with zooming ability)
Internet Sharing
Messaging - Threaded SMS
Notes
Phone - Themed to PointUI
Pictures & Videos
PIM Backup
Search
SIM Manager
Task Manager
Tasks
Voice Recorder
Windows Media Player
Office Mobile - You have to press the Start button while in a Windows Mobile window to get to it. Will be fixed later. Sorry.
Microsoft Voice Command
Not Installed
Windows Live - For your Live e-mail, messenger, contacts sync, and profile status updater; Download free.
IM (That the default T-Mobile ROM had installed) - I recommend using Palringo IM, which is free and has multiple chat clients, including Facebook chat
Adobe Reader - Free Download
T-Zones - Who used it anyways???
Bugs
Office Mobile cannot be accessed through PointUI's program launcher. Go to a Windows Mobile window (like File Explorer), press your Start button (on the phone, not on the screen), and then click Office Mobile for now.
Found another bug? Tell me, please!

My Thanks
I'd like to thank everyone that has cooked before me. All of the tools and instructions on how to cook were great. I'm trying to leave behind some wonderful guides on how to cook, too. Some people I would like to thank individually...
ToadLife - His kitchen is wonderful. A perfect starting point for my ROM. (He got the kitchen from Ivan, who got it from someone else, so thanks to everyone before ToadLife!)
Ivan - An awesome cook who wrote wonderful guides. He's always willing to help.
The Community - You guys all make this so much fun. Keep up the feedback! (good or bad feedback)
For Chefs
You can use my OEM, SYS, and XIP folder if you want. I have no problem with you using them.

Wow, that sounds great! Oh, but will pointui have any skins or applets added in? Because whenever I installed it, I never completely liked how limited the default applets were.

Remember, this is PointUI v 1.51a
PointUI v 2 (pointui.com) is the one that has a bunch of skinning abilities and installable applets.
But, I included the "old" version since it's different, and I like it more. I was disapointed with the new "remodeled" version that they made (pointui v 2), so I went back to the old one.
Sooo....Answering your question...skinning is very limited with this. It is possible, but there aren't many skins out there, since no one is really developing for the old version. They all moved on to version 2, where skinning is easy.
And the applets, they also aren't customizable, I believe. I'm considering making a ROM with PointUI v 2 cooked in, and then you will get full skinning/applet control. Maybe you'd like that more. Tell me what you think!
No, you're right. The main reason why I preferred PointUI 1.5 to 2 is really the lockscreen applet. It was very stylish. For some reason, the lock applet is exclusive to the pro version of PointUI 2. Besides, 1.5 is probably lighter than 2. So 1.5 would be the better choice for memory.

Yea. I haven't looked at 2.0 for a while. And I don't like paying for things.
But, if you'd like to test this ROM, I'm uploading it to Skydrive right now...Slow connection, but it'll go up there soon.
Download link is up there now. Still a pre-release, but you can download and try it out. (.7z compressed, so use 7zip to extract!)

I tried it, but I couldn't get it to work. Then I figured I should just try to make a working Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM, modify it, and learn how the kitchen works. Heck, I've only been "cooking" for 3 days now. I gotta learn a lot, I think. And it's tough finding a really quality guide online.
About the PointROM...I created v 1.2 now. Just some minor changes (working on removing extra crap and theming the OS). The Skydrive uploads will see day of light on every .5 versions. So 1.5 will be the next up there (around tomorrow).
Can anyone create Windows Mobile theme files??? (.tsk) I need some help with that. If anyone could find or create a PointUI theme for the Windows Mobile part of the OS, then that would be awesome. I had no luck with it. I'm also working on skinning the dialer (I might include Phone Canvas) and also replacing all of the WinMo icons so that they match PointUI. If anyone could create the .tsk theme, that'd be great.

Sure, I could do it. I have a theme maker lying around here somewhere. Could you just give me the background graphic that pointUI uses? That way I could use that as a reference. Since it's a 6.1 theme, it won't have fancy transparencies or stuff that the 6.5 themes do, just a basic gradient at most. Also, downloading and flashing now. (though that seems a waste if you're going to post a new release tomorrow...)

Since it's a 6.1 theme, it won't have fancy transparencies or stuff that the 6.5 themes do, just a basic gradient at most. Also, downloading and flashing now. (though that seems a waste if you're going to post a new release tomorrow...)

Well the next release shouldn't be anything major. I make minor changes so that if anything goes wrong, I can change it.
And I couldn't really find the PointUI background anywhere. I say, just use the background color from the Applications menu inside PointUI. I have that color attached. It's a solid color. Then I guess the top and bottom bars should be a lighter blue than the attached file. That would look good. And you should make them the glossy bars, not those flat ones that lots of ROM's use now. Think you can do that? That would be awesome. I could cook you a special ROM version with some of your programs cooked in or something, if you'd like.
Oh, you know what, you should try to make the background image so that there's that little blue glowing bar at the bottom. You can see it in the attached image, right at the bottom.
So can you make that work as the background? It's a pretty simple image. And anyways, the Today screen won't ever really be seen, so it's no big deal. What I care more about are the WinMo Bars theme. Make those a nice PointUI-ish blue gloss color. Use your phone and screenshots as a reference. If you need more PointUI screenshots, I've got them all on my computer.
I look forward to seeing the theme!

LZX is no problem. The most trouble about an LZX version is uploading it...my connection is slowwww. But yea, I'll make LZX, how about on the 1.5 release?
All in all, a nice ROM, there's just the problem of it being nearly stock. Many of the nice things that make WinMo a joy to use (nice SIPs, finger-friendly enhancements, task managers) aren't there. Of course, this is just an alpha build, so I'm sure all of the improvements are on the way! (also, keeping voice command is a nice touch, especially since I got a new headset)

Finger-friendly enhancements - It's PointUI!! How more friendly could you get!! And then the soft menu's are a little larger than stock. Honestly, tell me what can be improved, and I'll work on it.
Task Manager - PointUI IS a task manager. From the home screen, click on Applications and then on Currently Running. There you can go into a running program and then close it (by tapping on the Start Menu while in the app, and then clicking Force Close. How would you like that improved? (I can't change anything inside PointUI, remember)
SIP (On-Screen Keyboard) - Yea, I know. It's the default WinMo one. I'll change it sometime, possibly. Recommend a keyboard for me to cook in, then.
Voice Command - I figured I'd keep that in, especially since that dam iPhone has it (and acted like they invented it, like they do with everything).
But it seems like you're liking it so far!! V 1.5 will be coming up soon, with more complete theming. V 2.0 might be more of a full release. Tell me what you think!
Just looked at your screenshots...You're not supposed to even use the old Today Screen!! The point is that it's a PointUI ROM! That's why I did nothing with the Start Menu's size, because you will never touch the Start Menu. But yea, I like that keyboard. Give me a link or name to the keyboard.
Love your site ace...wondering whats the free ram and storage on your new rom

About 22 MB Free RAM, and about 37 MB free Storage Space upon booting it up (with PointUI running).
After using the phone for a few hours (running Internet Explorer, etc), I closed all of the apps, and RAM was at about 18 MB. So, it holds up pretty well!
I'm not writing up everything about this ROM yet, since it's ever changing. Expect that storage space to increase as versions go.
And a ROM with SPB MOBILE SHEL 3.01, LIKE SONY ERICSON SXPERIA. The User flash if have a key bought or not.

PointUI freezes, right? That's not really "frozen", it's a bug in PointUI. When trying to scroll through a list (usually the Applications list), scrolling freezes, and no touches on the screen are registered. But, it still works by using your D-Pad. So, go up to the Return arrow with your D-Pad, and then your touchscreen will be working again.
FingerMe 0.5
Updates:
- I'm in need of Nightly alpha testers. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5223673&postcount=143
- RAM Usage on regular edition (non-stripped) of FingerMe on WM6.5 looks really good! 22.5mb of RAM on boot. That's with Rhodium Notification enhancements, but not with the keyboard. I still have some stuff to cut and some stuff to add in, so hopefully it'll stay around 22.5mb.
- Around 32mb of free storage on regular 6.5 edition also. LZX should be able to get it up significantly higher.
- Unfortunately, the Lite 6.5 version hasn't been getting RAM much higher than the regular version. Around 22.8-23mb with Manilla2D 2.0, Bluetooth, Comm manager, and Internet Sharing.
- Around 46.75mb of Storage on the Lite Version. This is without LZX compression.
What to Expect?
- A couple different versions including a regular, non-stripped, edition. Also a Lite version. Both will be available in LZX, a version for the Herald and the Wing will be available. Each version will also be available in WM6.1 and WM6.5 flavors.
- A newly themed dialer on the regular editions.
- Some special BIG additions to the FingerMe rom that I am not ready to discuss.
All in all, I am very happy with what I have so far, and I hope you guys are excited. The Wing community is still alive and cooking.

very nice. can't wait for the release.
by the way will you release fingerme version with Titanium included? I sometimes experiment with different interface thats why i need titanium installed even not to be used. I tried several roms with titanium but FingerME 0.2 although no titanium in 0.2 have almost all of the things I needed and I also feel it's faster compared to other wm6.5 rom

Sure I can produce a version with Titanium and Manilla. The FingerMe series is primarily Manilla based though so the theming and applications are designed around Manilla. Eventually I will produce a Titanium ROM, probably a few of them actually. I just don't want to get ahead of myself at the moment. I'm not content with the status of the FingerMe series, so I have to give it more time to release my other ideas.
If you decide you need a pure Titanium ROM immediately, I encourage you to try the other cooks ROMs too.
Screen Shots
Thanks for you great work!! Any more screen shots you can put up. They were looking good on the last thread that was taken down.
Oh and a heads up, the link in your signature still links to the old thread that was taken down.

Yeah I know, I have to fix the signature.
I was going to wait to put the screenshots until the 0.5 release. I currently haven't taken any yet. If you want, I can put up the old screenshots again.
Yes please
if you want to put up the old ones that would be great because, I'm a newb to the flashing thing, using AVA now, just trying to find just the right fix for me. I am really into the new notifications from the TP2.
Great News, I hope this one is without the Manila and include everything you did in your previous rom because am loving it , am using your previous Fingerme ROM 6.5 and i have a question, since that Topic is no longer avalible? in my Qkeyboard, letter " V " is not working any idea? when i press "V" i get the " * " sign, can you help me with that apreichner?

Hardware or software keyboard?
And like I said before, FingerMe is a Manilla type ROM series. If you need a non-Manilla ROM, you should give one of the other cooks roms a try. I have personally tested Ill's new stripped 6.5 ROM and it works very well.
The topic isn't available because I had to have a mod delete it because of some unnecessary disruption to the thread.
hardware keybord, key "V"
i would have given a run on his WM 6.5 but two most thing i use isnt in his rom i belive " * No bluetooth
* No NetCF " the latest build NETCF is must now so
am sticking with yours, its pretty stable on my phone. also the is it possible to include a battery meter anyplace? or like in the top would be nice.
Those screen shots are from WM 6.5.1 23034.
Do you own a T-Mobile Wing or a HTC Herald?
0.5
Im currently running 0.2... 6.5 and i must say its easily the most pleasing to the eye Ive seen so far, I cant wait to see 0.5... 6.5 any type of time frame not to rush but Im excited!! by the way Thank You for your hard work!!!

YES i have Tmobile wing, and the problem/missing i see in 6.5 are
1) letter "V" is not working on the Hardware (insted of letter V i get "*")
2) Battery meter is missing
3) Landscape Mode "Keyboard access to symbols" isnt working (Software), when i click the key it not doing in anything, it suppost to show the Symbols rite?
Waitn' for my fingerme fix!!!
I have to agree with the post above. I wrote the same problem with the letter "v" being the symbol "*" on the hardware keyboard of tmobile wing, with 6.5 ROM. Other than that and the number staying at one on the text message screen, I really have no complaints with this ROM.
Again I state, one of the greatest things given to this device. BRAVO!!!
P.S. Thanks for taking that smut off the old thread. It did have a lot of intresting feed back, but it sucks when someone has to downplay others work to highlight their own.

I think it would be prudent to just stay on-topic instead of everyone bringing up what happened to the old thread, lest we want the same to happen to this thread too.
@apreichner Can't wait to see the changes in the new release! Keep up the good work!
Alright, I know, I know... I said I wouldn't release a Titanium ROM for the FingerMe series. I changed my mind. FingerMe 0.5 will feature three Titanium Editions. A Titanium Classic (regular with apps), a Titanium Lite, and a Titanium Extra Light. I can't help myself . I am currently testing Titanium Extra Light at the moment. It has no bluetooth and no comm manager. 28.03mb of RAM, around 64mb of storage. LZX of course. All of this on a 4mb pagepool with Titanium!!
I also have planed for a 23034 build in the works. This will be purely a test build, so not too much support will be going towards this.
0.5 should be only a few more days, I'm sorry for the wait.
Oops, I'll definitely have more storage than that. Probably closer to 71mb. Accidentally left a pretty big app in the build.

Anyway thanks for the taskbar.

For all the points, i have attached the pictures in my previous post.
another thing, the waiting cursor after removing the cab remains, i don't mind since i like the blue - but just to tell you.
titanium does not bottom seems screwed up - look @ the screenshots i posted.
the dll should be from 1.66 rom, 6.5.5 and manila 2.5 1922 - so pretty much the latest.
Awaiting for your taskbar, sure it will look pretty nice

im working with Xannytech rom and its working perfect
Hi DJC,
Really appriciate your effort to get it working for us. Running v02 now. BTW in v01 the volume started working after the second SR. It's still working on v02
So far:
BT icon works; enabled (blue) & visible (red), didn't test headset connected
Wifi icon works; conneccted and searching
Signal icon works; strength bars, G, 3G, H, I don't have edge at home
Batt. icon works
Mail delete button still replaced with the menu button
SMS left button replaced by X button.
In Titanium the windows logo isn't replaced.
Back-/lock button in startmenu works
X and OK buttons in apps and startmenu are not replaced/skinned
Volume control works.
great work
your windows button is much nicer than the one that xanny has...you should probably suggest him to integrate that in his ROM
or maybe its possible to make a cab just for the bottom bar because I like the bar at the top in XannyTech's ROM...
This taskbar is my mod from original Bilbobrian's (Brian's) one.
I opened this thread in this section because some people told me to do it because it was a little hard to find, but the taskbar style is the same than the one posted in Blackstone section.
I made from scratch these last 2 versions (WM 6.5 and WM 6.5.X) because the "old" one was a little "dusty" and there were big issues especially in WM 6.5 version, because in the hurry to post it, I cabbed the same *.dlls of WM 6.5.X version , and the funny thing is that I noticed it only 2 weeks ago
Of course this is the main reason of all these problems.
This time I followed the steps of DarkNinja and I thought to make it "modular", so that there will be more chances to get it working.
Thanks to DarkNinja and his staff.
The taskbar is fully compatible CDMA and GSM.
I don't own a Leo, so I couldn't test it directly, but I have positive feedbacks from many devices: Blackstone, Leo, TP, TP2 and others.

The image above is from the Blackstone thread, but apart some little modification to some icons, there is nothing really new, except the new custom wait cursor.
Here is the animation...hope you like it
I will refine this opening post in the next days, just a matter of time, so at the moment I can only post 1 version of WM 6.5. This version has the white windows flag start icon skinned. The other versions with different start icons will be added when ready. I will also post the no_start patch.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO ALL OF YOU THAT WANT ONLY THE CUSTOM WAIT CURSOR:
No guys, there is no way to make a cab for only the custom wait cursor.
This is because the custom wait cursor graphics are into the file shellres.192.dll. Into this file reside also many of the taskbar icons and other miscellaneous graphics. If I make a cab with only the file shellres.192.dll and you install it, you will have my wait cursor, but you will have many of my taskbar icons as well. It's good if you use my taskbar (but if you use my taskbar you already have my cursor ), but if you use another taskbar....you can easily understand what can happen.
So this is why there's no way to make a cab that installs only the cursor.
I'm thinking about to make some colors variations of the cursor, but I think that I will make them for cookers (and who knows how to edit dlls) and I will post the 32bit bitmaps in the Windows Mobile Themes section.
I'm sorry.....but I'm explaining why this is impossible
Anyway, many thanks for the great interest for my custom wait cursor
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO INSTALL THE TASKBAR
1) - The taskbar has the certification inside, anyway the safest way to start the installation is to install sdkcert.cab first.
2)- Install the version matching with your OS. If you have the start button in the top left you are on WM 6.5. If you have the start button in the bottom left you are on WM 6.5.X.
3) -If you install the WM 6.5.X version, your volume icons will not be skinned.
You have to download the file dafunk HTCVolumeControl.dll Fixes.zip where inside you will find 4 different versions of HTCVolumeControl.dll:
dafunk HTCVolumeControl.dll 1920.1327.cab
dafunk HTCVolumeControl.dll 1920.3625.cab
dafunk HTCVolumeControl.dll 1921.3629.cab
dafunk HTCVolumeControl.dll 2011.3221.cab
You have to find which works good for you....you can still unistall it and install another fix if the one installed is not good.
4) - If you install the WM 6.5 version your volume icons will be skinned, but if you are experiencing strange issues with volume or similar, try to install the volume fixes how explained above.
5) - Perform a soft reset.
---- If in the place of the volume icons you have a black square, try to install: dafunk BlackBox Volume Fix.cab. ----
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS POST WILL BE COMPLETED IN THE NEXT DAYS,
SO PLEASE BE PATIENT IF FILES AND INFO ARE CHANGING TOO OFTEN
EDIT: 16 April 2010 18:20
Created a *.zip file containing all the HTCVolumeControl.dll fixes because I added two more different.
I'm becoming a collector
Hope you like it....
Have fun(k)

May I ask how you unsign, sign and edit your dll's? I have had a problem since like a month back where some dll's just isn't working after I edit them.

Sure you can ask!
To unsign I use Unsigner, to sign them I use msigner the last version I don't remember where I got it from. The previous version has the certificates expired. If you need it I can attach it.
For editing I use Restorator 2007, but sometimes misteriously it fails to open a *.dll. Then I try to open it with ResHack. Sometimes ResHack open it, sometimes don't....
I don't use PE explorer, because the way I need to use this resources editors, I found Restorator 2007 wonderful.
Feel free to ask artieq
Anyway, awesome taskbar....great work mate
That's really strange, I do exact the same. When I try to edit heavy files such as shellres.192.dll they just break the whole taskbar, some icons don't show up so I have to put back the old one. I can edit MessagingRes.dll and stuff like that, which is strange.. But please upload your msigner folder because it must be something with the signing process.
EDIT: And thanks btw Same to you!
Wow!!! can't wait to try your new NGTV Taskbar!!!
Your's is always the best man! I'm a big fan of your Funk'd b&w taskbar!!!
Love the work......but its not working on mine, i installed the 6.5.x.... only 1 or 2 icons are showing up(volume and blue tooth) the rest are left blank.
I already have a pre installed taskbar that came with the ROM i'm using, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
The Rom i'm using is Laurentius26 V4.0 WWE Ultimate POWER
CE OS 5.2.23554 (23554.5.5.0)
Base oemdrivers 1.72.831.1 (82124) WWE

The cooked taskbar with the rom is not a problem. The files are into the ROM, so they cannot be deleted, but can be installed an application or whatever you want that overrides the original files inside the ROM.
But....did you follow the instructions steps carefully?
I can believe some issue on Volume Control, it's a classic, but you are telling that you have no signal, battery etc etc icons....it sounds strange to me

Hello hullem, nice to "see" you
About the Xannytech's mod I don't know...Xanny is a lot of time that has became invisible....he didn't post anymore for about 2 months or so
It is possible to recover the files by flashing one of his roms then extracting the dlls with RomExtractor or in another way don't care, so you can take them and make a cab. I should like to do it for you, but my time it's always very limited and I have to go ahead with the NGTV Taskbar....
If I will have a little time after released the NGTV Taskbar will give it a look, but it's not a promise mate
thanks hullem,
regards
dafunk
oke thanks dafunk,
Ill search some info for myself wich files i need and how to make a cab !?
haha no creator just taking al the wonderfull designs here....
take your time and if you dont have it to make it for me its oke
thanks again for the taskbar and letting me testing it !!!

dafunk's NGTV taskbar PREVIEW
This is a quick preview of my new taskbar I'm working on these days.
It's based on the taskbar posted above, so the icons are still the same, but I inverted the colors black/white but keeping the icon border in black.
What do you think about it?

My Italian brother......
Install sdcerts................................check
install taskbar in phone memory.........check
Soft reset.....................................check
then after restart all hell breaks lose, no signal, battery, network icons...I thought i did get the volume icon but that was the icon from my previous taskbar
I have tried to take a screen shot but it doesn't allow me to get into main windows menu's. ie: the start button doesn't work.
In desperation i have also tried installing your taskbar straight after a hard reset..... same thing happens. I have never had any issues installing a taskbar with my current ROM before. hahah fun times.
Thanks for all your hard work bud.

Thanks for it, I'll try it later About the other guy, some cooked ROMs mess up the dll's so the resources aren't always on same place as another ROM etc. It's a pain but if you know how to edit dll's and stuff, you could just extract the ico's from this taskbar and put them on your own dll's.
EDIT: Not working. Start menu icon and signal bars dissapear (it shows that icon which means no signal or something). Can you tell me exactly how you do step by step when putting a new icon into a dll? Thanks.
