After a manual install of TOM TOM 5 under WM5 I still would like the original shortcut on the Today Screen.
Anyone know how to add that?
I have got an SPB tom tom icon but would prefer the original Toady item which stretches across the whole screen.
Thanks

If it was there originally you should still be able to activate it from the today items section.
If I could get TomTom to auto install from the SD card then, yes, the option is available in the Today screen options, but, as I said, I had to do a manual install as the auto installer was not working under WM5. The Today screen option is therefore not there. I need a manual fix!

I'd love a solution to this but im geussing the only easy way is o install a desktop like wisbar desktop...
I found it! The following cabs were in my '2577' folder.
The 'WZD' cab adds the today plugin and the 'PIMaddin' allows the 'Navigate to ' or 'show address in map' from your contacts.
Cool eh?
So did it work?
Yes thanks just did it now!
THANKS and well discovered!
Yay! I helped someone!
Trial and error is a wonderful thing.
has anyone figured out how to remove the comm manager and the battery icons from the tray?
these are the programs in my windows\startup folder
PKG.lnk
sddaemon.lnk
sdim.lnk
TPStartup.exe
if it is not one of these and they are loaded from the registry - is there any way to prevent them them from loading from the registry?
thanks
Did you search? I posted a howto on this.
here you go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368836&highlight=system
fair point about the search!
thanks for your help - now solved.
while this is being discussed... has anyone figured out how to disable the whole taskbar and not just specific icons? I know it disappears if there are no icons to display but there are other apps that put icons there... tomtom, task managers etc etc it would be simpler to just disable the whole thing right?
i moved a file called "O2 Custom.lnk" from the \Windows\Start Up folder to my storage card (just to back it up) and the tray went away. however, since i'm now running bepe's .53 Non TomTom WM 6.1 Rom, it's no longer an issue for me. hope this helps!
Nice one cortezzi!

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...

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...
may not mean didle **** just a thought.
Heya all,
I think S2U2 has removed my \windows\lockscreen.exe file, this is very annoying as after removing S2U2 the system tells me it is missing lockscreen.exe every 3 minutes or so.
Could anyone please post a copy of their winmob 6.5 \windows\lockscreen.exe so I don't have to reset my entire device?
Thanks guys!
Clemens
Is anyone kind enough to zip their screenlock.exe for me, please?
looked for lockscreen.exe, but found a shortcut to it. Led me to Devicelock.exe, so here it is
anyone?
Uhh I posted it, it was just named devicelock instead of lockscreen
Wow awesome, I'll see if I can fix it... be back here in a min
Cmstackar, thanks for your help. It has solved my problem! I've copied the file: DeviceLock.exe as both DeviceLock.exe and LockScreen.exe to my windows folder and now the annoying error is gone. Thanks a bunch!

Works perfectly on my touch pro2 with WM6.5
Dropped it into /Windows
and pasted a shortcut in start menu/programs.
Thank you.
I use a custom ROM so I don't have the original Copilot installed on my phone. I use the version I downloaded and installed. It's all great but the shortcut for it only has a low resolution icon that looks horrible on the HD2 main screen. Would somebody mind uploading their shortcut for the HTC originally included version of Copilot so I can use it? I can edit the shortcut path no problem.
Thanks.
Any luck?
Hi - I am in exactly the same position as you!
I'm a paid up Copilot user, I have d/l the custom HD2 v8.0.0.659 install from the ALK HTC mini-site, installed it and it works relatively fine on my Dutty ROM (slight issue with the rotation between landscape and portrait / vice versa not being as smooth - I suspect this is because the ROM might be enabled to rotate every app and therefore trying to do it twice.. perhaps there is a whitelist?). Only real 'issue' is the ugly icon as you state!
Very annoying..
Hi Guys, I don't personally use CoPilot (I use TomTom), but recently I am on mission to design my own Glass effect transparent icons, and I have designed some for CoPilot as well.
I am attaching here with the preview files so you can see how would they look like.
(HINT: Just use the TRANSPARENT PNG ones, because the background ones are just for your preview)
Please let me know if they would be useful.
(btw I am using "Icon Changer" for the icon replacement on my HD2)
Regards
Sid
