I've installed a task bar before, and I've uninstalled already because that wasn't look good...
But now, the icons of the signal and the battary have changed (Red circles in the attachment), so, how can i change these back to the original look? thanks a lot!

I know hard reset can solve my problem, but anyway, thanks
any other methods?
Are you using an Official ROM or a Custom Cooked ROM from here? I know some Chefs will cook in fixes for the taskbar icons... or they may "pre-skin" them for users.
Since you said you installed an icon theme, then uninstalled it, you may have removed the custom icons that were there before you installed... Pretty much, when you installed the custom icon theme, the old icons that were there... went out the window.

I am using an offcial ROM, thanks~
let me do more research
i had a similar problem. the way i ressolved was through file explorer. i used it to get into the folder that contained the residual files and i simply deleted them. it takes time and patience since there is a mile list of files. i sorted them by date of installation so if you remember what date you installed them, you may be in luck.

If you search in the forums, there are several cabs that change the topbar. Get one of them and a resource editor (I use PE-Editor) and you can change the icons.
I'm getting my warhawk (pure/diamond2) tomorrow

Please take a look and come back with your oppinion, which series should I port to Topaz first ???

Everything for the HD should work except your data bar (pure).
I worked for a few days with a developer here and it was finally decided that it was one that may not be able to be changed easily.
THere's also some dll's you can rename/copy, but those might create unstability on the pure.
I had a TP2, should be same as imagio, and on ppcgeeks mightymike hacked a HD one to work on CDMA.
Thanks for all responds, I havent tried any thing of this but i am gonna try to make my own icons and upload it.
Sorry for the noob question, I have searched but can't find the answer.
Just recently got an HD2 and new to all this WinMo stuff. Having put some cabs on the device I now want to remove some. How do I do this, if I go into the device memory and remove the cab file, the thing I've changed (new task bar, different icons etc) remains there and doesn't go back to the orginal style or settings. How do I remove it totally to go back to the original?
choose another theme and uninstall the other theme via Remove Programs.
Ah yes of course, that makes sense now. Many thanks.

After you uninstall any visual mods they wont be reflected in windows untill you perform a soft reset
Ok, I want a new battery meter for my Tp2, as the original one sucks (4 bars). I'm looking for one exactly like the finixnover one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424926). I used the tp1 (raphael) cab and the battery meter works perfect, only thing is the other icons included in that cab don't work (black square on the taskbar where the sound used to be). So I'm either lookin for someone to modify finixnover's cab (if he lets you/us) or someone to just make a new one with just that battery meter. I dont want anything else as the icons are good for now. Just want a new battery meter. Anyways, if someone can do this, I would appreciate it! TIA
I use tsowens taskbar. There is one with a battery meter and some pretty nice icons.

I hate the icons and I don't like the loading icon. Looks like old school wm.. I like the 6.5 one... And with tsowens installed, it doesn't use the 6.5 one.
Bump anyone? Just want the battery icon, nothing else!! Help!

that tells you how to make your own icons. If you're not finding a pre-made taskbar with that icon you can just use the old file and make your own for the tp2.

Yessir. Followed all instructions to that link as well as others that had a battery meter similar to finixinovers.
I've been reading a couple of your posts, it seems like you might be having issues with your phone not being fully flashed. Have you tried task 29?

No sir. Tried finixinover's like 12 times lol.
After reading your post on the other section I'm inclined to believe you haven't fully cleared your storage before the latest ROM install. You might have to hard reset if this last fix doesn't work.
If you follow my post earlier in this thread about creating your own battery icon there might be some registry changes which you can make to fix it. Back up your registry and see if changing these registries helps you:
Make sure your registry says the following:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:65 (Hex) or 101 (Dec)
"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:3e9 (Hex) or 1001 (Dec)
"BaseDll"="phcanOverbmp.dll"
"BaseId"=dword:0

Will do. I'll give it shot in a bit. I think the second link you gave me had these registry edits, but I'll give it another shot. Can't hurt.

yea that is exactly where I found them. Its just hard you never know how much people actually read and understand the information.
You could try this. I know that it's kind of lengthy, but I have been using this battery meter almost since I got my Touch Pro 2 without any problems.
Ok so I guess this can be considered progress, idk. I uninstalled everything, drivers, proggies, and reinstalled them and did the registry edits. Different battery meter, no percentage, and my speaker icon is now gone...
input?
Haha yea.
Uninstalling:
(using phcanOverbmp.dll as an example)
If you have installed from the zip, there’s a few steps you’ll have to follow to get the old icons back.
1. Go to Windows folder on your device and rename phcanOverbmp.dll to phcanOverbmp.dll.bak and soft reset the device.
2. Now you can delete the phcanOverbmp.dll.bak that is no longer being used by the device.
3. To finalize the uninstall process and have the old battery icon back, you have to edit the following reg entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:65 (hexadecimal) or 101 (decimal) -> dword:15 (hexadecimal) or 21 (decimal)
NOTE:
You can follow the steps 1 and 2 to remove any dll/mui you have customized.
To perform file operations such as renaming and/or deleting, you must use a more powerful file explorer than the built in one. You should use something like Total Commander or Resco Explorer.
There's no need to backup the files you're going to edit! Why? Because you'll be replacing ROM files, and theses files are not really replaced.
The best way to explain it is that, they will remain "hidden" under the new file. Once you delete your edited file, the original ROM file will be "unhidden". So, to have the original file, just delete your edited one.
Taken from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307. BTW, both the volume icon and battery icon are taken from those files, so it should work and possibly give you some more to go off of.
Ok maybe I should have clarified a little better. The pic above is what I get after INSTALLING the battery meter, not uninstalling. I got it back to normal now, I just changed the entries in the registry back. But again, that pic is what I get instead of the % of battery left...

Yea I was telling you how to get it back to normal. If you read that post if talks about how installing, replacing, uninstalling and creation of icons for just about everything on your phone.
Hi All,
Im new here and I recently divorced iPhone! I have an HTC HD2 and its probably the BEST ive ever had! Ive seen a lot of posts for themes, etc, however, I prefer the "boring" default homescreen I have (snapshot attached). Ive installed cht and I think it was GREAT, but I didnt like the way my phone "blinked" everytime i woke it up. In any case, i prefer the default screen and my question is, Is it possible to have a bit of transparency on my phone WITHOUT installing 3rd party apps like cht and so on? (Just a simple cab file that adds the TRANSPARENT look to my homescreen and other screens). This will be great! I love playing with custom backgrounds that I make with photoshop, so some transparency will be perfect!
Thanks in advance guys, and keep up the GREAT work!
Regards,
Yaz

Since you use Sense are tons of Manila files that devs have modified that have made certain items transparent. You'll have to hunt for those. What you should really do is load a custom ROM, preferably one with CHT baked in, and go from there. I guarantee your phone won't "blink".
Wow,, THIS SITE IS THE BEST!!!
When I had the iPhone and registered on one of the forums, I used to submit posts, and not get a response for AT LEAST 2 DAYS!! To get a response within a couple of hours is SUPERB!!
Anyway (sorry about that! - got a bit excited) About your recommendation for loading a custom ROM, I guess you saw my specs so you are confident that I wont have any issues. However, I dont know WHAT TO DO, HOW TO DO IT, WHAT I NEED, etc. Therefore, I would be grateful if you would kindly "link" me to the right direction, and I will take it from there. If I do face any issues, would it be OK to pm you?
Please let me know!
Cheers again!
If you want a rom that has both CHT and has transparency have a look at energys rom, link here:
Just scroll down and find the version you want! There are a few, you need to have hslpl installed and then just flash his rom!
If you don't want to flash a new rom and just make a few changes to the stock rom here are a few links to a ton of mods/tweaks for ya(transparency included)..

Did you install sdkcerts before installing the taskbar? Something in shellres.192.dll is causing the problem. Can you slide over to your setting tab? if so hit menu, all settings, system, then remove programs to uninstall. Or set up one of your quicklinks to access file explorer, navigate to the cab, click on it as if your were going to reinstall and let it uninstall previous version then softreset and see if it fixes everything..
Yes I installed that first as it instructed. I was finally able to get into my applications and removed it and everything seems to be back to normal. I would really like to install new themes, etc. any idea of a good place to get the downloads from (seeing how my first try didnt work)? Thanks!
^^^ You´re at the best possible place.
But, you need to know a little bit what you´re doing.
A taskbar must fit your WinMo version, plus, as the previous tip said, the certification must be there.
Most tweaks and mods are made for specific versions, like any other software for any other operating system.
Once you´re familiar with those things, you can pimp as much as you want.

I´m not really an expert, either... just a user like you. All I made is some graphics for clocks because I like them in real life, too...
As a beginner, I would start to look a little to what others do. This thread here is great to start: Klick! Maybe just start with the last pages, where you´ll see the latest tweaks and mods. Sometimes people write where they got what they use, sometimes you can ask.
One of the greatest tools to change the layout and the functionality of Sense (that´s the basic user interface of an HD2 using Windows Mobile 6.5) is CHT (short for coOkiemonster´s Home Tab): Klick!
Add some graphic mods and tweaks, and there you go. Some examples:
[6THEMES]Nordpolcampers Tranquility Theme Cabs up! + many more Themes
[THEME] WP7 UI and WM SKINS [UPDATED 26/5/11]
[ Theme.Windroid - The Final ]******** HTC SENSE 3.0*******
Please carefully read in each thread what the author says about instructions.
Last, but not least, there is much more to discover (as in if you like clocks, too, follow the link in my signature for some examples, those clocks are made to be used with CHT).
Enjoy your great device, have fun with personalizing!
