[Q] Icon Set created as Cab, but some icons don´t change - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

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

@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

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.

IF you just set your pc to allow you to see hidden and system files.. then open up phone/windows in active sync they will all be there too

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

Well..... wrong place to post this but, it either needs to be cooked into the ROM or you can buy Wisbar advanced!
Actually it doesn't need to be cooked in. You need resco explorer and the DLL/MUI/BMP files. use active sync to copy them to your cell to like your "My Documents Folder and the use Resco explorer to copy them to your /windows directly. You'll need to run SDKcert and a registry fix cab first though for the new files to work. Everything is in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307. Make sure the onces you download are qvga though. That thread is for a vga device and most files are in VGA format. I've been playing around with them already.

A Question About Icons...

Alright... here's the deal. This may be a completely neophyte-esque question, but here I go anyway.
So I have File Explorer Extension v2.05 installed, and I love it and all, but I can't stand that icon! How could I keep that Extension installed but use the normal WM6 File Explorer icon installed instead?
Also, on a side note, where are folder icons stored on WM6?
Thanks much, guys!
Eh. Icons are stored..
I dont know your first question , but due to wm 6.5 letting you change your icons. They are in the windows folder/ and you go to whatever program icon u want changed. or windows/icons/edit

Yeah, I don't have 6.5... I'm 6.1, standard Verizon Touch Pro ROM.
Other question, maybe this is easier... how could I get the standard File Explorer icon, then set the File Explorer Extension shortcut icon to that?
It's a good question, and one I'd like to know the answer to.
Most programs pull in the icon associated with the .exe file - M2D is a good example when populating the launcher tab.
How do you change the icon associated with the .exe without an external program to do this?
e.g. not using 'reStart' on 6.5.
Nobody else knows anything about this? C'mon, I know people have changed icons in the past... help me out, here!

How do you make 6.5.x themes?

I have been searching for the past 15 minutes but can't find the answer! What do you use to make 6.5.x themes?

Chome visual editor only is for edit , search and use this , i used this for my works
I want to edit things like scrollbars, highlights, softkey backgrounds. This doesn't seem to do it.
Find a WM6.5.X theme file. Rename to *.cab. Extract reg, and use that as your base. Prefer classicblue myself. Now get a pic you want, convert to your resolutions, create a cab with it, and insert reg!
EDIT: If you search using the link in my sign, you will find the answers. It has been discussed in detail before.
I just figured it out that tsk files are actually cabs as you posted this! Wow, in all my years with Windows Mobile I never knew that!
How to "extract reg"??

Aaaaaayyyyyyyyy friend, I believed that you were speaking about the titanium, it(he,she) takes this, is to make and to modify, TSK
If it is it for what you look say it to me to know, thank you

It doesn't work properly for WM6.5.x.
Use WinCE CAB Manager to open the CAB of any theme you like and replace the graphic files with your own. You can also edit the TSK, if you want. Just learn by doing, I figured it this way as well .
This is my basic lesson of titanium, this one in Spanish

Change icons manually

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

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.
