How to change wait load cursors? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Does anyone know what file contains the wait/load cursor animation? Some say it's a .dll file while others say it's this file called gwes.exe.040C.mui.....
reason i asked is coz in the older EnergyROM builds, or more specifically the build 21921 released on July 14th 2009, that rom has this purple wait load animation cursor and i like it a lot, but then it got changed to what we have now, a circle with blue dots, and i think it looks ugly.
I've been wanting to change the cursor for a long time but was often busy etc etc, now that it's the holiday i'm finally gonna try and get this done, hopefully.
In case some of u asked, I already PMed Cmxlygo and he told me to get this .dll file from the windows folder, but i don't see it in there. He wouldn't help me at all and won't even share the picture file. I PMed NRG and he hasn't replied in days.
I also tried CMxlygo's pimp packages, all of them in fact, none of them contained it.
And in case if you guys suggest me to use Marshall's cursor packages or w/e (forgot the name), i already tried it but don't like those.
I can't believe NRG didn't put that cursor file in the "Extras" folder on his page, you have .cab files for dialers etc but not that, it's so hard to find and i don't even think anyone has it.....
so ya i plan to try and get it somehow off the older build and put it in my current EnergyROM, but i'm gonna need some help to know what file contains it.....

shellres.192.dll holds the bitmaps of the wait cursor.
Attached ROM Extractor that will get the file.
[TUT] Editing Resources .dll etc
All software needed on thread.
You will also want to install SDKCERTS soft reset phone before you replace the resource "again attached"

I am making an excellent rom for the Uni, i have integrated all i need but is there a way not to integrate it and have a cab install, like the auto customization after first boot...

"why spend time learning when ignorance is instantanious?"
It defeats the object of having them in the ROM
as soon as you use initflashfiles to move a file it takes up room in the storage memory. make the lnk's link to the /windows/ dir instead

If you just cut straight to the last paragraph in the post above , he is right.
You are best trying to keep everything in \windows to prevent duplication of files as it copies rather than moves them over.
My fault i should have been more clear
I cant use the EXT-ROM as this program requires user input, so forget that idea.
now i have gotten the program to sit inside the \windows\ folder correctly but now i need 1 last step, i need to have a folder w/files inside transfered as well. Its a theme folder!
Example OEM folder:
program.exe
\Themes\
It copies the program and i use initflashfiles.txt to make a menu shortcut works fine ,but when building the ROM it freezes on the Theme folder. Ok so you cant have a folders w/subdir and files.
Now what should i do? i made OEM folder have all files inside but i need the themes folder to be XFER'd to \Windows\Themes\
or is there a solid command or a config file i can write to make adjustments to create/copy/move files and folders?

you know i have seen you react like this a few times on the forum, stop being so damn annoying to everyone here, really STOP. i asked a question and revised it as it was written bad, but EVEN as that you should learn how to talk to people.
do you have anything positive to bring to this thread ? if not just move along!
Easy guys, easy.... tempers often fray, it's not worth taking things personally

With my wisbar advance, i've got the theme on my sd card and I put the config.ini file with the settings in the oem. Hence WA in \windows, theme on sd card.
You cannot move things from rom to another directory, only copy them.

erm, i awnsered your question if you read my post, dumbass.
no really i saw it...
i am just telling you i don't care for you attitude that you dish out and to others as well. you could try being nicer...
ever do a search on your post and read how arrogant you are? you should try it. If thats your example of helping someone... you need to rethink things.
To be honest i was hoping someone of your caliber would come here and offer help, but that doesn't mean you get to talk to people as you like because you ..." Know More "
Its expected that you know more when we post "[Help]" in the title. That's correct we EXPECT someone with more knowledge to help, not abuse people.
Thanks.... NO really thanks for the help
I think grayme or MIDGET are more than nice, because it looks like U've never been working on ROM at first, at second YOU DIDNT use search button(that fuc.. button 9th on top) Im not a god like midged or helmi, but at least before u post something like this, try to read.Why mess this forum

I did search for the how to copy a folder w/files using the initflashfiles.txt as was not able to find any information, hence the post.
Helmi has nothing to do with this so don't throw his name around. And midget has run to this issue with a few users on this forum lately. Yea i read those too.
And i don't care if he can breathe underwater, fact is just because you answer somebody doesnt mean you get to talk to people like trash.

gotcha ya, i was hoping for a way around this as the only other issue i have is a *.rgu file which set a string in the CURRENT_USER area but for some reason it fails to build on that specific RGU which is the registration for wisbar.
besides that everything is working smooth
here is a preview of the default look which i helped a great skinning artist (Dingo) make into a great wisbar skin, the new version has sounds that are awesome
here is a preview,
Just FYI, MOST of my posts are helpful and 'nice'
I dont have to be here answering your q's so im sorry, but you have to expect an answer that reflects the mood im in atm... if you dont like it i wont answer your q's next time. it's nothing personal!
try 2 read 1st helmi kitchen wm6 post, there is explained ho 2 use initflashes if U use his kitchen if U use another try 2 read apropriate howtos. BTW dont use initflashes.dat if u can bypas it(it makes a copy from ROM to Storage - so there are files ocupiing both space in ROM and in Storage - redundant) btw there is package for wisbar for helmis kitchen

This is the point that, until I made a kitchen ROM, I wasn't aware of; did I (and 1wayjonny and others) miss it?
Ranting and raving at people that don't know what you do is not moving things forward, this isn't a simple, 'how I instal ROM?' (sic) question...

my cabs

i made a list of cabs i have hopefully this will keep growning the more i mess with the phone. your welcome to download.
http://kaisercab.googlepages.com/
I tried to dl the tomtom na maps but it says its an "r" file and 14.1kb. What do I do with it?
Nice idea, but maybe you can add a short discription.
I want to know what I'm installing on my Kaiser!
descriptions are on there way. fixing the tomtom na maps as we speak.
Nice list!
ive rethought this. if you all would post your cabs ill stick them on my page. just give me a short description. and then the all be in one place. then hopefully this will get a sticky and it wont be so hard to find the d-mn things
Thanks for taking the time to make and post this.
I tried this one........KaiserTweak.exe copy this to the phone and run it. it will give you a bunch of options for the phone. (GPS Photo, backlight timeout, TouchFLO settings, etc.) ...............
I copied to mydocs folder, when I execute it gives me an error about missing an .xml file. Any suggustions?
Also - I have done way too much hard resetting and dont really want to for the few days... with that in mind, any input on what the following does would be great..
OZPocketPC.CAB
jbed.exe
MP_CVSDcpl_20070202.cab

I think you need to fix the "displaying location" of the XML on that page ... right now it is alongside the titl keyboard fix.
and your description "UPDATE dont forget the xml" shouldn't apply to the TILTkeyboard fix.
It should be below where the "Kaiser Tweak" paragraph is.
KaiserTweak EXE & XML goes together.
Nice thought, but we already have this stickied in the main Kaiser forum.

cooking help plz!

ive started cooking around a week and a half ago on my new rom series and im not understanding how to set up the auto customization that happids on a fresh flash or hard-reset ive researched for 2 days now and found formats and all that but can someone please explain what "config_operator.txt", config_PT.txt", "config_AP.txt" and "config.txt" do as they seem to be connected to each other and how to set them up with their corrisponing folders thank you!
~xNitrous~
okies first off make sure before you edit the config.txt file you set the properties to NOT read-only then edit the file as you like. put the cabs or .xmls you want in the rom into it and make sure they are signed and set to read only. then go back and save your config.txt and change the properties back to read-only. flash and be done. also search the hermes forum for answears about this since cooking for the hermes and kaiser are the same and there is TONS of info about cooking for the hermes since its been around longer

operatorpkg is the operator package, which in our case is htc, so it should contain stuff like themes,startup animations,backgrounds etc. as obviously windows mobile doesn't ship with this when it goes to htc.
Make it easy on youreself in the start and focuse only on: C:\kaiserkitchen\OEM\OperatorPKG & config_operator.txt
You can setup config_operator.txt to skip right to config.txt (just make sure the files in middle are not used)
Just add youre cabs, xml and stuff in config_operator.txt. When you get used to provxml and how this work you can dig real into this. One stands a bit out wich you will use more the others and thats mxipupdate_oemoperators_105.provxml
Play whit this and slowly you understand the diffrence and needs of mxipcold, mxipupdate & mxip
I think its important not to bite over to much in the start, you just gonna get confused. Small steps and take time to understand youre prossess and what you are actually doing RIGHT NOW then slowly you will get the big picture of how this connects.
Do some digging on provxml. I attached a wery nifty tool for you if you are not a speedracer on writing youre own xml`s. Use this to convert .reg or .rgu to proxml/xml`s. And download XML Notepad 2007 here. Its free and all you ever need.
Hope this was any help to you

Cab file downloadng?

Firstly apologies for the noob question, I'm still very new to this WinMo stuff. And secondly I've searched about the forum all day but still having problems....
I've just got an HD2 and wanting to put some of the tweaks on it I've found via this site. When downloaded on my PC I'm faced with 4 or so files, two or three perhaps starting with a 'cab' file name and the other a reg or set up file. Basically what do I then do with these files? With the phone conected via USB I went into the deice memory and dropped all the files into the memory, did a soft reset, but nothing happened, no extra feature etc. Phone just started up as normal. Sorry for my 'thickness' lol. Would welcome any advice or a pointer to somewhere where it may be already written.
Thanks.
Do not unzip the .cab place on phone and browse phone with File Explorer, click on the .cab and install to Device....
It's a common noob mistake as .cab's are compressed archives so look like .zips on computer....
Thanks for the quick reply, I'll give that a go....
after dropping them on the device you have to run them. Open File Explorer and just launch them from there. A setup will be launched usually.
Thanks for the above advice, worked a treat.
Well I've had no problem putting cab files onto my HD2, however now I want to remove a few of them. Not sure how to remove the actual thing that I've changed??? I go into the device memory and I can delete the cab itself but the 'change' still remains, such as new task bar icons etc.
Any help appreciated....
settings -> add remove programs
just like on a computer
Oh yes of course, makes sense now. Many thanks

Need a Little Help with Understanding ROM Extract

Hi All,
I need a little help in understanding something, either by explaination, or by directing me toa webpage, but everything I found really doesnt explain it.
I used 3 tools to extract a HTC ROM Leo, I used: NBHExtract, IMGFS utility (NBSpilt etc.) then used Package-tool to create the folders OEM and SYS, and now I'm stuck.
What I want to know is how do i go about making a cab file of something so I can install it? for example like the Messaging App. In the OEM folder it has two folders, one says for ex: HTCMessaging, the other says the same thing with .0409 on the end.
How would I go about being able to cab the messaging system files, registry etc, and cab it?
Thanks a million for any help.
Anyone? Or did I post in the wrong forum?
<Bump> sorry but I am still searching, I have been reading and reading for the last 12 hours and nothing is pointing me to a solution, let me clarify one thing. I am not wanting to know how to make a cab file, I know how to do that.
What I am trying to find out is how does one go about sorting in the example the HTC Messaging App and all the files needed to be installed into a cab, obviously 2 folders doesnt complete it, I know that possibly contacts, and appointments apps have to be put into the cab, but How would I go about finding out all the files needed to the appointment app, all the files needed for the contact app, and all the files needed for the Messaging App, so I could cab them individually and install them to test on a spare TP2 phone, I am not trying to flash it. I want to cab it so if it doesnt work or is unstable, I can uninstall it from the remove programs.
Anyone? I even tried New Visual Kitchen, but it crashes during the building of packages after the extraction process of the ROM.
