Samsung Wizpro theme. Any ideas how to edit AdvHomePlug.dll?

Hi everyone
A few days ago i bought a Samsung C6625 (Valencia). The thing that looked nice on it was the wizpro theme and i whanted to see if i can modify it.
I finaly found a few information about it, but still i dont know where to start
Is there anione here that could take these files and see what cand be done?
If there are other information needed i would gladly give them Just tell me what to do.
The atached archive contains the dll file i found reference to in the registry. AdvHomePlug.dll and the theme xml that lead me to the registry clsid key.

What sort of modifications ur looking at?
You can use resource hacker to extract and edit the images in AdvHomePlug.dll. Those are all the interface images including the leftbar menu and the main window, contacts, wmp, etc...
All images are in PNG Format. U can extract and replace. If it is theme colors its in the voda xml file. I dont see any digital signatures on the dll and mui files you posted, how did u transfer the files? normal copy or ROMExtractor?
If you didnt do normal copy these require digital signatures before copying back, search xda how to self sign apps. Also it helps if u app unlock ur phone.

I copied the file normaly using explorer. About the modifications... I`ve seen on other samsung models the same wizpro theme but with different arangement of tabs.
And i was thinking maybe there are some mods for this like with chome just asking i dont know

I dont have the phone on me to check it, maybe tomorrow i can borrow it, I do however remember some regitry entries for playing with tabs, its been a while since i had this phone. check under HKCU\Software under mpharos or samsung.

I found those registry entries but i can only modify images for the theme. Are there any other registry entries where i can modify things like... plugins that show up, the order of those plugins, things like that?

Could you please dump the registry key HKCU\CLSID\{583AD178-223A-4bcd-AFBE-EBB50536F8BE}
for me?
I will help you with customizing the plugin!

That registry key just points to dll file.
Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{583AD178-223A-4bcd-AFBE-EBB50536F8BE}\InprocServer32]
@="AdvHomePlug.dll"
I have attached the whole Wizpro OEM package.

Is there some way tomake it available for 176x220 screen?

Wizpro does not works on BJII - I have tried cooking it in ROM, but nothing happens - just a blank screen with background picture. Maybe some drivers are missing. Haven't figured it out yet.

Problems
I have a Samsung i637 phone.
I have problems with Wizpro. When I receive a sms, I can read the sms, but when I try to return to home page (wizpro), I can not see it.
After some minuts, the wizpro does not appear, and instead appear the message "Anything home screen theme was found".
I have unlock security in the phone.
I have changed to multimedia home screen, but I need use the Wizpro.
What could be cause this problem???

Hi. I am triyng wm 6.1 st on mcrsft device emulator and I would like to try samsung's C6625 original wizpro theme. I dwnld the package from previuos page and copy it both to ap data/home and /windows/. When I select touchwiz from settings/home screen(4), there is this error message "the layout U have selected cannot be loaded...etc... So, where is mistake? How to make it work?

How to change the "waiting" animation?

When the HD2 is busy there is a little "waiting" animation in the middle of the screen.

you need to change dll file with your own icon ,if you install the DJC leo taskbar ,there is already another wait cursor with blue points turning around.

Ok, thanks. Is there a tutorial how to change the dll?

You need to use a resource editor like PE Explorer (not free) or reshacker (free) and edit the embedded images within the shellres.xxx.dll

Many thanks - do you have the path of shellres.xxx.dll? Where will i find it?

it's under our windows folder

The Windows folder. Odds are you won't be able to copy and pasteit out. You'll have to extract it from the actual NBH file of the ROM.

Thanks!
I have a question: i have installed the Dusk theme and there has changed the waiting animation - there is now a black bar in the middle in which a green line is running. I would like to have the Dusk theme with the original WM 6.5 "waiting" animation (the 4 colored points). Could you provide me the original dll? BTW, ich couldn't find shellres.xxx.dll on my HD2. Used Resco Explorer and File Explorer. Searched in windows.

Look for shellres.xxx.dll.mui in the Windows folder then.

I now found the shellres.192.dll in the windows folder and modified it, using Reshacker. But when I copied it back to the windows folder the phone crashed.
Should i have the shellres.192.dll unsigned before editing? What's signing/unsigning good for?

You don't need to unsign it before editing, though it is a good practice, but you do need to sign it after you're done editing it. And I always use a cab to place it into the Windows folder.

ok so i've followed through the thread you posted and i have now got to the point where i have edited a few images and used cfc gui to put the .png images back into the manila files. Now i need some advice on how to create the cab so that it can be easily installed and uninstalled, i really don't want to just replace the manila files.

Just use QuickCab, it will do all the things you need to create these .cabs..

Tip for creating cabs:
If you already have HDWall installed (e.g. to make transparent taskbars and softkeybars), you can use the built-in 'create cab' function to create your cabs - this saves installing an extra piece of software...
On the subject of tutorials, I can tell you from experience that creating your own 'digital' clocks is a lot easier than creating your own sliders.
The easiest way to go about creating a new digital clock is:
1. Take somebody else's clock cab (I've attached one of mine to this post)
2. Unzip it (Winzip will do it) to get the original files
3. Re-name the 'working' files back to their original 'manila names' (if you look inside the _setup.xml file, you can see the both the manila filename and the working filename e.g.
<characteristic type="1435ccbf_manila" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Extract">
<parm name="Source" value="FILE0001.001" />
means the file named FILE0001.001 should be re-named to 1435ccbf_manila etc. (note: the xxxxxx.999 file is not needed here!)
4. Once you have extracted and re-named all the manila files, you can use CFC_GUI to extract the PNG images for my clock to use as a guideline to making your own
5. Make your own PNG images
6. Use CFC_GUI again to insert your new images into the manila files
Note: My cab consists of 8 manila files:
4 files for the 4 sections of the clock (2 up and 2 down)
1 background for the clock (see attached screenshot)
1 file each for AM and PM
1 file with the numerals
If anyone is interested in seeing some of the other 'Glass Clocks' I made, you can find them all in this thread:

Have fun and good luck!

nice job mate, keep it up, my advice is to take a cab from the site, slider, clock or what ever you want to customize, extract it with wince cab manager (the best cab management software, in my opinion) and manila editor and photoshop can do right about everything to a image the important thig if you take part of some one elses work or inspire to ask permision and mention that you have inspired from that persons work

sorry for the confusion. the green clock and slider is what I,ve done, the lead clock is by dr ammar-jaguaralani.

Ok so I've modified the image files from a slider cab, converted back to QTC's and overwritten them back into the unzipped cab file.
How do I make it all back into a cab?
Got Quickcab.......select all the files from the left window but where to select to put them in the right window?

Thanks for your reply mate.
I thought that was where they always went, but last night I made my cab but when I installed it, nothing changed, tried 2 or 3 times too??
Please take a look at the screenshot below, is that correct? From there just go to "Create cab" right? Or am i missing something?
Thanks again for answering.

Did you extract your manila files from another .cab? (If so, have you maybe done it via winzip or something similar?)
The files you copied don't have the correct names... (manila files are always named "xxxx_manila")
If you give me all the files, I could make the .cab for you.
Otherwise, just PM me and we'll discuss this further

Changing the Internet image?

Hi all,
Is it possible to change the image of the light blue globe (has 'Launch Brower' written underneath it) when you navigate to the 'Internet' page page of the HD2?

If you mean something like this, the answer is "Yes".
Do you want to know how to do it yourself or are you looking for some alternatives...?

Thats exactly it john...
a bit of both really - (a) how do you do it yourself?
(b) what the are the alternatives?

I haven't seen any alternative (that's why I ended up doing my own!).
If you want to make your own, you basically only have to replace the image in the file '0eea1f69_manila' in your windows folder.
To extract the image from the manila file, you will need something like CFC_GUI.
Then you modify the .png image you get (keeping the same size and positioning) using Photoshop or something.
Then you replace the original image in the manila file with your new one (again using CFC_GUI).
Finally, you need to copy your new '0eea1f69_manila' file back into your windows folder. There's a trick to this if you haven't done it before, so you may need help with this. Alternatively, you can create a .cab file consisting only of your new manila file and install it that way. I've added my .cab file (to change the image to the one in the screenshot above) to this post for your reference. This will definitely work with Manila version 2.5.1920 and probably with other versions too, but I don't know that for sure. Install as you would any .cab file. Uninstall using Settings/Remove Programs.
Good luck!

Help with Changing Clocks CHT

I'm trying to change the analogue clock on my HD2 but it won't change from the default clock (well sort of i've managed to change it from a square one to a round one), i've followed the instructions on moving the file into the device-windows folder.
but there's a file in there with the same name already and it doesn't replace the original file, if i try to delete the file 20F62884_manila it doesn't give me the option, the delete and rename options are not selectable, they are on the file i've pasted into the windows folder but not the original file, is it protected in any way ?
I'm using the file explorer that came with the Elegancia V8.0 Rom is this ok or do i need to use something else...
Many thanks...

Many manila fills are protect to overwrite, changing or deleting!
The easiest way is to use a cab file! It will overwrite and it give you the possibility to uninstall so you get back to the original one!
Ore maybe you can simply used a program called CfC GUI!! Perhaps the most simply way if it is fore personal used!
more explication ore where to find it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470798

The file explorer which is on your device will not overwrite protected files.
But, search for "Total Commander" for Windows Mobile - it´s not the "freshest" software, but free, and it *does* overwrite protected files.
To make it more finger friendly, just change to large icons view!
Or, after all, as the previous poster mentioned, use cab files - those will automatically install and overwrite files.

Cheers for the reply's i've used a cab and yep changed the clock, but most of the clocks i've really liked are not as cab's so will try the total commander now, again thanks for the help, much appreciated...

Buggar even with total commander it says unable to delete file

If you will I make a cab for you! Perhaps the easy's way!!
