Change icons manually - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

I changed almost all of the icons in the quickmarks of CHT by manually changing the path of the .Ink files in:HKLM/Security/Shell/Start info/Start/.....Ink.
But the problem I have is that from some programms (like 'Mute4' and 'HTC Torchlight') I can't find .Ink files.
Anyone an idea?

Why on earth do you want to change every icon manually?? Why don't you just use CSMI, JWDM or HComber? instead of doing all those registry entries

Because I want to know what is happening on my device. I know I am a control freak! But what about a solution/answer?

Messed up font in Comm Manager

My font in Comm Manager is messed up. Hardly readable and with missing language specific sings like åäö. Of course it's som of the programs I've installed thats causing this, but even if I uninstall them the right font doesn't appear.
What can I do? Besides hard resetting? Am I missing a font and if so, which?
i have the same thing. are you also using the orbit 2.
No, I've got a Polaris.
I had the same thing on my orbit 2, only way of clearing it was a hard reset. I suspected it was one of the skins i loaded for phonealarm.
no phoneallarm installed and same problem, so...
I had this problem for a while, I did some investigating and found that it was due to my installation of Weather Panel by Marsware. to fix this you need to delete the pixel.ttf and BRADHITC.ttf files found in the "Program Files\Marsware\WeatherPanel\themes\default" folder, i just renamed them to .bak. do a soft reset and you should be OK. If you don't have weatherpanel, try searching your device for any .ttf file, you should only have three Cour.ttf, tahoma.ttf, and tahombd.ttf and they should be located in \windows (don't delete these three) anything else you find might be the problem, try renaming and then Soft reset.
Same problem here; it appeared after installing phonealarm
search with resco explorer for .ttf
do not delete tahoma.ttf tahomabd.ttf cour.ttf
delete Bradhitc.ttf and
newton.ttf and
Pixel.ttf or anything else
Oh course I have both WeatherPanel AND PhoneAlarm.
But your advice did help. Thanks.
I was thinking what causes Comm Manager choose another font and how to stop it.
I'm thinking of two ways. Either copy the needed font to the same directory as the exe file or make a copy of the needed font and reneme it with an a in fron, if Comm Manager looks for any font, and goes for it an alphabetic order.
Similar thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1871697
I have of course both Weather Panel and PhoneAlarm.
But your tips solved the problem, I uninstalled the fonts.
But what causes Comm Manager do take another font? Does it look for the "nearest" font in a folder close to it or does it choose from an alphabetic order?
I had the same problem in my XDA Orbit, but it isn't the phone fault, but WM's. I'v copied a new font (random one, for skinning Wisbar Advance) into /windows/fonts folder and after soft reset, the comm manager font changed. I think, that maybe, somehow, Windows makes the last used/updated/copied font a default font for it. Try re-copying tahoma in windows/fonts. I can't try it for myself now, waiting for my Orbit 2 hehe, but I know the issue. Hope it helped.

Idk how you can turn a reg into and rgu but I will tell you that if you go to HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ In the registry and then go into the folder name, you can make a new string value named Icon and then the location for the value of it eg: \Windows\whatever.png

search for and install the HDWallpaper patch, the link is in HDWalls first post, otherwise HDWalls backgrounds will look messy.

then just look for all the keys inside that path referring to a background image .jpg or .png, and in that case empty the values
Hi.
+1 for top and bottom bars transparancy... However, I cannot find the key referenced, and there are any .jpg or .png values in HCKU/Software/HTC/Manila. I also searched entire registry for 'defaulthomebackground' - not there.
Any other ideas?
Thnx in advance,
Lukas

weird, you made me go doublecheck my registry.
The full name of the key is: DefaultHomeBackgroundPath
and I emptied its value which pointed to a png and prevented the hdwalls background to show.
Another problem was when I installed Bg4all, and it conflicted with hdwalls leaving a black background in the middle part, I remove bg4ll and restarted manila, all worked.

Thnx for doublechecking. I think that the registry key is generated by something you've installed. I performed a search for the key you mentioned on my entire registry just now, but no dice. It's not on my phone... Running 1.66 stock ROM, with Cookie's home tab mod being the only manila mod installed. Could it be HDWall's generating that key?

Lukas

Always Fail Editting Taskbar. Need Help

I've been trying to edit a taskbar. So, there's a taskbar (let's call it A taskbar), which works perfect, but I really don't like the icon. And then there's a taskbar (B taskbar) which I like more, but completely doesn't work (after install it, the taskbar is completely unusable, all the taskbar icon is disappear). I want to replace the A taskbar with all B taskbar icon.
This is what I'm doing:
1. Extract the A and B taskbar .cab using WinCe Cab Manager.
2. Unsign all A and B .dll using Unsigner
3. Replace all A icon with B icon using Reshacker
4. Resign all .dll using MSigner
5. Recab all component using QuickCab 2.0. In this process I set the component to be installed on Windows folder.
After I install it, totally mess..The icons don't shown up (unusable at all)
Please anyone can help me to solve this?

I'm using the siggner.exe, is there any other app? I've tried to change the year to 2008 but no result...
I'm changing icon from the B dll directly to A dll...
I'm really confuse now..
moved to more appropriate forum.

[Q] Icon Set created as Cab, but some icons don´t change

Hi,
I created an icon set as a cab file. It works near perfect, but some icons don´t change. I´m wondering why
I used Win CE Cab Manager to create the cab.
Following Icons don´t change:
bing
the complete office icons (the outlook icon works)
in call recorder
flashlight
the folder icon messages
encryption
Does someone know why the icons don´t change?
Ben
I give up ´
I think i´ll releas the icon set as png files
use a regualr icon changer for those.. some things have multiple copys.. and the easiest way to attack them is brute force.
i know that, when i dont clear htc sense cache...
maybe this helps..

you have to erase the png files first then run the cab and all icons should change.
you have to add registry entries, as shown in the screenshot
my suggestion is to download my basic icons cab and replace the icons with those of your likings. make sure you keep the file names intact!
i use artemis rom which is very close to stock. if you use a rom with the icons organized differently, you'll need to change the registry entries accordingly.
pm me if you can't find your way
cheers,
antaed
@m0bmentality: Hell Yeaahh, you´re right but i´ll try it with the basic icon set of antaed
@mrkevinhall: Thanks for the tip, but i´ve tried this before
@antaed: Thanks, i´ll try it, maybe it works. I use the artemis rom, too
is their a way to extract the basic htc/windows mobile icons to png files?

they are png files already, if you mean how to extract them: (with wince cab manager) go to cabinet>files>extract...
you will also find some qtc files, you don't need to modify those.
just extract the png files to a folder on your pc, replace them with your icons (use the same names!!!) and repack the cab.

yes but in my reply to benalive i'm referring strictly to how to unpack and replace the icons from my bull's eye basic icon pack cab.
but maybe i misinterpreted his last question and he wants to know how to get original icons from the phone instead. if this is the case i'm sorry for the confusion, my bad...
cheers

@ antaed: no, i want to extract the standard icons of the hd2 in the windows DIR.

@ m0bmentality: Thanks I´ll try this.
