[REQ] Icons for URL-Files on Home Screen - how to keep them permanently... - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi,...
I am looking for a solution to modify the Icons of *.url-files permanently.
Why?
I copied some spezial url-files ("DHL", "Doodle",... my kind of "Apps" ;-) to
the startmenu, and linked them on hometab.
There is a direct way for favorites (I know), but with URL-files in Startmenu it is also possible to change the single Icons with JWMD....
and with "url2Opera" it works perfectly, but...
...after some soft-Resets the Icons disappear and the original Icon gets back...
I already cleared the WinMo-Icons-Cache, and in JWMD the modified icons are still shown....
Has Anyone an idea how to solve this properly?
Thanks!

I am testing a "solution" now
Like told in my first post, i copied the url-files into the startmenu...
Now, I keep them in der favorites-folder, and only copy a shortcut into the startmenu...
Now i got a real *.lnk - file, maybe it works better now...
But, anyway, if somebody has an idea????
...

Quicklinks without text

Hi everyone,
does anybody know how to properly remove the text from the quicklinks?
What I figured out so far is that in Registry "HKLM\Software\HTC\Manilla\Home\x" you can simply delete the "DispName" entry or delete its content.
The text and its dark "background" disappeares, but the result is strange though:
a) The quicklink still works, but is somehow not integrated correctly. It's like the transparent "Add Quicklink"-Pictures is put onto it as a second layer. A "transparent quicklinks"-cab could probably solve this though
b) The quicklink can not be removed anymore =) Which is the major problem.
So yes, (b) would prevent anybody from randomly removing your quicklinks when playing around with your phone, but a proper solution would be fine though. Any ideas?
--edit--
looks like this (attachment) :
CHT Editor has a setting for this.

Lost HTC Icon 'Themes' on HTC HD2

Hope someone can help ? In my start menu, I've 'lost' the icon themes for HTC People, HTC Music, HTC Calendar and HTC Twitter. Each icon now simply appear like default Blue Framed Folders. The applications work fine when clicked. If I delete the icons, shut down and restart, they simple reappear incorrectly ?
No idea what I've done !! ? Hope this makes sense ?!
Help !
I've got a similar issue. I have a two 'People' and 'Music' Icons apprearing and the second copy of these also apprears as a blue framed folder.
Does anyone else have this issue? If so, is this a bug and is there a fix?
I've got the same problem, after installing the Puremind BG4alltabs&16 shortcuts.cab deleting the cab won't restore the HTC icons
Same problem here after i installed Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 TT UPDATED.cab
after the first restart not only the htc icons were doubled ia also lost the icons of my custom created shortcuts bu they reappeared after deleting and recreating the shortcuts.
But the doubled htc shortcuts are not deletable they reapear after every reboot....

I've got this issue as well, also after installing Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 TT UPDATED.cab (to get the additional quick links).
Any ideas on how to fix would be welcome.
Moved as not theme release.
mine did the same thing all you have to do is go to settings then security the factory reset.......just make sure when you do it you save all of your information to your memory card because it will delete everything thats on the device.
Isn't there another solution than just doing a factory reset ?
Maybe someone can upload the original icons here. I would expect the problem to be resolved if we then just copy those original icons back into the windows folder.
I had the same problem on my TP2 a while back, no solution other than a H-Reset
still no solution?
too bad. i hate reset it.
Solution on this thread... Sort of...

Gets rid of the icons being reproduced all together.
please upload all of the icons here. thanks in advance =)

Can't get all Icons changed.. really not
Sorry to grab here but I tried in other threads and other forums but anyone had a solution for me.
I deleted all the Quicklinks on Homescreen, installed Diniks Anastasia set by cab file, cleared the ProgLauncher. In the Start Menu all Icons are showing roght but only about 40% of the Icons come on right on the Homescreen.
I look in Icon changer but there also all icons are showing correct. I long pressed on every Icon and said "hide default icon".. but no change to those that will not show on Homescreen.
By looking inside de Proglauncher Folder I remarked that all the icons that work are listed there, but not those that will not show correctly.. why that?
Any help, suggestions? Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase?

you have to create a theme with iconchanger, after you have to go in the folder programs\iconchanger\themes\"your_theme_folder_name" and , with a file explorer,(program like rescoexplorer are better!!) rename the icon of the program was showed uncorrectly in your homescreen quicklink, after go in jwdm iconchanger , holdtap the program icon you want to change, programs\iconchanger\themes\"your_theme_folder_name"\"your_icon_you_have_just_renamed" .. afther this reclear the proglauncher folder and all is fine! -- for correct homescreen quicklink softreset is not needed, is needed for start menu only.
Wow, really something new.. gonna triy this tonight. I'll give feedback.. thanks a lot..!
Couldn't wait and tried on the spot. Seems to work out really fine. Thanks for that simple way that even I can understand
Those Icons not showing in Icon Changer I still have to double in .. argh which folder was that again .. does this stay the same to show them?

I did as you said and it would work out.. and now the big BUT:
Some of the links in Windows\Startmenu\Programs are organized in subfolders, for instance folder "tools", as in the Startmenu itself. Icon Changer can obviously NOT SEE INTO subfolders, for it does not list those links, even if copied and pasted. Only if copied to Windows\Startmenu\Programs (one directory up) it is recognized, but of course it does too change place in Startmenu itself, so that's not what I want.
Question: Why can't my Icon Changer (latest version 26b) not see the links in subfolders, for I think that this is common in all standard Roms????
And what do I do to be able to change those Icons..?
CSMI can help
Ok, I could solve this problem by just using other software.. CSMI helped me out, this one even shows which links lie in a folder.
thank u for ur effort ,but still a little problem with the weather switch icon,in the quicklink,im using CSMI but i cant locate it to make the change

"10. If some Icons still the same after Restart. Prefer clearing HTC Sense's icon cache. Go to your Device's \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher Folder and delete all the *.bmg files inside. These are icon caches that will be recreated upon next boot.
And if that not helps you. Eraser85 found a solution for this! He 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! 90% of my Icons Have the Same Name. 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!"

[Lockscreen] LCARS Star Trek style Lockscreen (updated)

My first mod, the LCARS Lockscreen! Make your lockscreen resemble the panels on the Enterprise! Yay! Also included, the original files they replaced.
Ahem...
Anyway, here is a zip file of everything needed to make your own lcars lockscreen. It's a zip because apparently the cabs I had up here didn't work properly... Can't beat placing real files yourself, I guess. haha
-
Instructions:
First- Add files in the icons folder to windows\ directory in phone. Just the icons in the folder, not the full folder. Either use icons in the zip or install the icons cab file. Also, put the lcars.ttf font into the /windows folder.
Second- Add lcarswallpaper.png and LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr to windows\lockscreen.
Third, reset the phone and you're done!
I've also included the original files for what this mod changes in case you want to revert back.
-
I have no lockscreen mods, cookie's home tab lockscreen is set to the default lockscreen so it won't interfere, or anything aside from the memclock app as you can see on the top right of the screenshot so I can't guarantee it will work with any mods. Like I said, This is my first so I apologize if it doesn't work properly on your HD2. As far as mine goes, everything lines up perfectly.
Restart your phone and enjoy!
When you tap the slider to get your notifications, the calendar and clock disappear. I don't know how to keep them their the entire time. If anyone can help with that, I'd appreciate it. \
For people that have flashed their roms only, try either the cpr courtesy of SolShade posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7153849&postcount=58
Or the updated cpr titled "LS_LockScene_480x800 FLASHED ROM.zip" at the bottom of this first post. This one contains minor tweaks to SolShade's working version, plus with my anastasia rom, there was a gap at the bottom that wasn't black, so everything was shuffled down accordingly to fix that.
While I havent tried it out, it looks cool.
Grats.
Now to make an interactive home tab with a captains chair perspective of the bridge.
Dear,
i have downloaded and installed 3 cab. but its not showing anything but only unlock button beside start button only...
Sorry, rasumia. I've posted the full files, not just cabs, so they should work a lot better for you. Guess quickcab doesn't want to play nice with me. Anyway, also has the original files for a manual uninstall also, so no risk of goofing with your lock screen again.
Not somethine I personally would have, but still a great job with putting it together!
thanks for your quick reply...
i have tried as you have mentioned in the Readme.txt but still same problem. only unlock button shows.
i use CHT 1.7.1 with editor...could it be causing this?
it could be better if there is a final cab so it would be all easier for everyone... thanks a lot!
i am personally star trek fan. it would be very nice if we can have a complete theme with icons slider and lock screen...
i know its too much to ask but its just my idea...
I would love a full manilla okudagram refit, but that would be a lot of work getting the layout right... I would almost like to do that, but someone else would have to program it.
I have cookie's home screen 1.70 enabled but all the custom lockscreen stuff disabled, only using the default lock at the default settings there. Your signature says you have a custom rom, maybe that could be a conflict? Looks like in the logs that they did do things to the lock screen. I wouldn't think it would be much different than what I did but who knows. I wish I knew more and could help better but I learned just with tweaking the lock settings. I have a friend that has an hd2 with the stock rom so I'll know soon if it works on his.
huh ?
want to use this but dont know how to replace files in windows DIR, system says cant replace ??????
D.
Works great.
Here on my german stock rom there is no Icon folder, just copy those files into windows folder, the rest as statet in first post, soft reset and there you are.
To copy the files I've used resco explorer
The only thing that doesn't work is the notification button for missed call. I can see it in taskbar but not instead of button comm1
Live long and prosper

Which files won't it replace? The icons? Try adding the lockscreen480x800.cpr file and wallpaper and restarting. If it changes the layout to match the wallpaper, then try the cab here to install the icons.
When I did this originally on my phone, I copied the files onto the storage card, then with the phone, copied and pasted the cpr file into the lockscreen folder. I hope any of this helps.

Hey, great job.
Where can I get LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr?
Thanks.
Working !
weightlifter that file is in the .zip file from the first post !
All good here the .cab file made the difference, thanx !
D.
Using windows active sync for replace wont work but using fileexplorer works...
for i couldnt make it work yet still trying...
use .cab
rasumia i used the .cab file for step 1 and then did the rest of the steps and it works for me !
good luck !
D.
ok let me try once again =)
Sorry no luck at all...may when it is completed i will give a try... thanks a lot anyway...
Very nice mate. I hope you can get the notifications showing all the time, like you said. Also, it would be better if the taskbar could be either removed or replaced with something else of equal functionality. It just seems a shame to have it not fullscreen.
Other than that though, very nice indeed!
Incidentally, I used total command to copy the files around and didn't use activesync to copy the font, and it works fine for me.

I have the same problem as you have. It might be caused by Cookies home tab or the editor.
johncmolyneux: How did you get it to work, how did you set up CHTEditor?

I turned off the CHT lockscreen and turned on the default lock screen (and then a soft reset, because that's what the editor does then). Then I just copied all the files into the relevant locations, as described in the 1st post.
I did copy all the files onto my storage card first and then used total commander to copy them onto the device, which meant that I could overwrite any existing files without windows moaning at me.
Incidentally, I do have both lockscreens working independantly. I turned the CHT lockscreen back on and that is now my default lockscreen (from the home tab menu, or from pressing the end button), but if I go to the start menu and lock from there then I get this lovely lockscreen
(I do then get the CHT one as well, when I unlock this one, so it's not perfect but at least I can see both of them working.)
hasn't worked for me, used the zip from the first post, when i lock the device i get the default unlock soft button and no lock screen atall
