Question to Vox Rom makers, a small request..

I was wondering if there is a oem package for the sliding sounds. As the t-mobile shadow has registry keys for sliding sound and also sliding sound waves but has no setting options for it nor any files or possible dlls for it.
So I was wondering if a rom creator could possibley get me the files and reg entrys if its easy enough. so i can try and get the shadow to make a noise when i slide the keyboard open.
Thank you for your help.

0_in.wav and 0_out.wav is the file name.
Just replace it

yes been there done that. but the shadow is missing all settings for sliding sounds.
also i think it is missing reg entries in hkcu or other parts.

First of all, here is a reg entry I found, don't know if it's all and it looks like it's calling a script, but I haven't looked for that yet.
It's a self-extracting archive with a *.reg file!

hope this is what u look for
here are 3 reg keys exported from my vox i hope this would help u.

Oh, I did't attache it

Ok, i reinstalled a couple of programs, then i get the shortcut in right place, but programs like tomtom i doesn´t want to reinstall i will try your way. But i don´t have resco, any regedit program will work, right ?

Here is the right way to assign a shortcut (and WM6.5 "Bronze" icon) for any program
This can be manually added to the registry or via .REG or .PROVXML
This example is for a standard REG (RGU) unicode text file, and will add a start menu ("bronze") shortcut with anasociated icon for a software called "goleada4.0", which is installed in "Program Files\Alcorcon" (just an example, not a real app, just wahtever came to my mind first )
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Tools\Goleada4.0.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Profgram Files\\Alcorcon\\Goleada4.0.png"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher]
"\\Program Files\\Alcorcon\\Goleada4.0.exe"="\\Program Files\\Alcorcon\\whatever.qtc"
Notice the last line MUST be empty, following the standard .REG / .RGU syntax
Hope this helps

Wow! That's complicated. Why not just use the file explorer on the device, navigate to the .exe, copy and then go to Windows/Start Menu/Programs and paste a shortcut there?
Or you can use the attached programme.

How to change "BING" icon? CSMI & JWMD don't work!

Any idea?

for some programms...they don't work in combination with sense.
they appear changed in winmo but once you add a quicklink there is the old annoying icon.
anyway overall Bing SUCKS and always slows down my HD2.

I could change the Icon with HComber.

Thanks, but hcomber didn't work, too.
Any idea where the icon is located?

Same problem for the Voice Recorder.

Try this :
1) Make a duplicate of the shortcut (e.g : "Garmin Mobile XT.lnk" when duplicated, Copy of
"Garmin Mobile XT.lnk")
2) Rename "Garmin Mobile XT.lnk" to "Garmin XT.lnk"
3) Use CSMI or JWMD to change the icon of the new shortcut created...
4) Now, add the newly created shortcut and see whether the icon has changed in the
Sense shortcut in the home tab menu! ( I did this and it worked...for a couple of my
shortcuts that changed in WM but didn't in Sense)
5) If it works, now delete the old shortcut and you're good to go...
***Hope this helped...

@Carina
Thanks, but how to find the shortcuts? Where are they? For example, where can i find the bing shortcut?

Try looking for the .lnk in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs...

It worked! Many thanks!

You can easily change the camera icon using CSMI. the new icon just must not have the same name.

CSMI? Please help. I using the JD program...i can change it in WM but not quicklinks.

Can you expand on this please?
I have used the other method on this thread (ie, creating shortcuts); but this way my start menu gets cluttered with all the shortcuts due to me not wanting to delete the original "system files" - I get a warning (eg/ Word mobile, MSN Messenger).
What is the best way to get around this problem?

You just have to do the following:
Eraser85 said:
What if CSMI can't apply an icon?
Delete all files located in \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher
Change that icon with CSMI
Remove the application icon from the homescreen
Just add back it back in Sense homescreen.. that's it!
That, however, applies only to HTC Sense: if you want Windows Mobile Start Menu icon to be updated (this applies to v1.2+ too), just soft-reset your phone!
Update!!
I've found a bug/feature in manila which prevents some icons to be changed.
Since many users were complaining about not being able to change some icons I've started investigating the problem and found that if you try to use a custom icon which have the same filename of one of the images found in \Windows then Manila will always load that instead of your customized one.
In order to easily fix the problem, just rename your icon
This bug affects ONLY manila, therefore in the start menu everything will look fine BUT in the Homescreen you will always have the original icon!

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the case for me.

i have changed the being icon on xanny and miri rooms using reStart and had no problems with this or getting it on sense quick links.

Ok... I've got to the bottom of this now.
After changing the icons seemingly ok last night by renaming them, I turned the phone on again this morning and some of them had reset... nightmare!
To solve the problem, I used a combination of renaming the icons and deleting the relevant .bmg files in \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher (ie, following the guide you quoted).
For anyone reading this in the future, I will make two notes:
1. If you can't find the relevant .bmg file in the ProgLauncher folder; you simply have to rename your icon and then change it with CSMI - it will then appear in the folder and should change the icon with no problems (you won't have to delete anything!).
2. If a .bmg file does exist in the ProgLauncher folder, just delete it and change the icon with CSMI. If after a reset the icon goes back to the original, just change the icon name.
Doing this I came across a problem with the 'Bing' logo. The program icon doesn't populate in my CSMI list - even without filtering. As I write this I have not yet searched about this particular problem (it seems that this thread was started for this issue though!); but if anyone can help, it would be appreciated.

Change icons manually

I changed almost all of the icons in the quickmarks of CHT by manually changing the path of the .Ink files in:HKLM/Security/Shell/Start info/Start/.....Ink.
But the problem I have is that from some programms (like 'Mute4' and 'HTC Torchlight') I can't find .Ink files.
Anyone an idea?

Why on earth do you want to change every icon manually?? Why don't you just use CSMI, JWDM or HComber? instead of doing all those registry entries
Grtz,
Degake

Because I want to know what is happening on my device. I know I am a control freak! But what about a solution/answer?

[Q] Icon Set created as Cab, but some icons don´t change

Hi,
I created an icon set as a cab file. It works near perfect, but some icons don´t change. I´m wondering why
I used Win CE Cab Manager to create the cab.
Following Icons don´t change:
bing
the complete office icons (the outlook icon works)
in call recorder
flashlight
the folder icon messages
encryption
Does someone know why the icons don´t change?
Ben

I give up ´
I think i´ll releas the icon set as png files

use a regualr icon changer for those.. some things have multiple copys.. and the easiest way to attack them is brute force.

i know that, when i dont clear htc sense cache...
maybe this helps..

you have to erase the png files first then run the cab and all icons should change.

you have to add registry entries, as shown in the screenshot
my suggestion is to download my basic icons cab and replace the icons with those of your likings. make sure you keep the file names intact!
i use artemis rom which is very close to stock. if you use a rom with the icons organized differently, you'll need to change the registry entries accordingly.
pm me if you can't find your way
cheers,
antaed

@m0bmentality: Hell Yeaahh, you´re right but i´ll try it with the basic icon set of antaed
@mrkevinhall: Thanks for the tip, but i´ve tried this before
@antaed: Thanks, i´ll try it, maybe it works. I use the artemis rom, too

is their a way to extract the basic htc/windows mobile icons to png files?

they are png files already, if you mean how to extract them: (with wince cab manager) go to cabinet>files>extract...
you will also find some qtc files, you don't need to modify those.
just extract the png files to a folder on your pc, replace them with your icons (use the same names!!!) and repack the cab.

IF you just set your pc to allow you to see hidden and system files.. then open up phone/windows in active sync they will all be there too

yes but in my reply to benalive i'm referring strictly to how to unpack and replace the icons from my bull's eye basic icon pack cab.
but maybe i misinterpreted his last question and he wants to know how to get original icons from the phone instead. if this is the case i'm sorry for the confusion, my bad...
cheers

@ antaed: no, i want to extract the standard icons of the hd2 in the windows DIR.
I replaced the icons of your basic cab, it works great. Thanks
I´ll release my icon set today
@ m0bmentality: Thanks I´ll try this.
