System icons on WM5

hi all, I'm using icon_viewer to search a "screen" icon but I don't know where search, in wich .dll or .exe I could find icons under windows mobile 5? thanks!

Hi xalien!
I am not 100% sure but it should be in coredll.dll or shellres.dll which are the two main system DLLs.

I don't find this 2 files, I search it in \windows folder...

Ok, clarification:
These files are part of ROM. You can't see them form file explorer, but they are there.
To work with them, you need a ROM dump. Just search this site and the FTP. All the tools you need are here.
I recommend TestWM5.exe by mamiac. It extracts files directly, not ROM image you have to decode.

ok. but i only search an icon, it exists a mapping of this dll that show icons contained?

Not really sure what you mean, but if you don't want to mess around with extracting the files try this:
If you have EVC or Studio 2005 installed, you will have a tool called 'Remote zoomin'. In EVC it's in the tools menu and in 2005 it's in the remote tools folder of start menu. This app lets you view the device screen on your PC and save it as bitmap. You can just get a screen shot of what you want and paste it in to an icon resource.

OEM Package making question

I have a cab with the following extentions
_setup.xml
JETBTC~1.001
JETBTH~1.000
JetBTHFix.002
JetBTHFix.999
I added the .dsm & .rgu files
I edited the _setup.xml file to redirect the Shortcut to a different folder.
Is that all I need to do?
Will it work puting it into an OEM folder now?
Can I remake it back into a cab file? (How do I make a cab file)
Thank you

You can't open a cab with a simple unzip program (which appears what you have done). You have to use a program that can pull a cab apart. In HyperCore there is a free utility that will do this (sorry, not on my computer with a kitchen so I don't remember what its called, but its in the tools and/or panel area of HyperCore). You can use Cabwuz (demo version) to see what I mean also.

MSCEinf
Its a tool called MSCEInf.exe, Windows CE CAB Analyser. It opens up Windows Mobile .CAB files and creates the original files and installation options (registry changes, shortcut creation etc).

Ok I got the program up and running, but not sure how to use it. There seems to be no help files.
Anyone know how to use this. Can you give me a quick run though.

All that MSCEInf.exe does is extract the original files and settings from the .CAB file. What you should do is extract the files to a folder, then if the XML button is available click it and then look at the Registry Keys and Shortcuts tabs to see what shortcuts you need to create and what settings you need to add to the .RGU file. If the XML button isn't available then click the 'RTF Document' tab, this contains all the settings but is a bit harder to cut-&-paste from.
It is probably a good idea to look at on existing OEM package to see what files are included, what the shortcuts look like and what the .RGU file looks like.

Little more help.
Ok need a little help still.
This is what I have done.
1) created a folder with in the OEM folder called JETBT
2) Opened Msceinf
3) Loaded my cab file
4) Changed "Use Folder Name" to NO
5) Pressed "Extract Cab files with original names to a folder"
6) Extracted them to the JETBT folder I credated.
Now this is where I am at.
I have the following 5 files.
_setup.xml
BT HFP Extension 1.31.inf
JetBTConfig.exe
JetBTHFx.999
JetBTHFx.dll
I know I need to create a .dsm and .rgu file
the .rgu file is where I add reg entries
I also know I need to make a inirflashfile.dat
which is where I have it move the .ink file.
First how do I make a .ink file.
Then is this all I need to do?
Does the OEM folder us the info inside _setup.xml ?
If it does can I simply edit that file. Inside I see where it makes and moves the .ink file
And where it adds the reg info.
I could simply just add the info into that file.
and then create empty .dsm and .rgu files.
So what do I need to do? Am I missing any steps.
there are other cabs I need to edit aswell.
Thanks for your help.

Weather png

does anyone know if there are any png file for this weather mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694886
or how to extract the png from the cab file

You would need to extract the manila files from the cab first and then extract the .pngs from the xxxxxxxx_manila files. Not very difficult with the right tools (cab manager of choice and CFC GUI). Or you can just shoot a pm to the creator and ask if he can share the .pngs.

Hi
The esiest way to extract manila files to png is mod9editor.
Put all the manilas in a folder on your desktop. Open mod9editor and choose the path to the folder. Then klick on the button Q>P that means QTC to PNG. Now all manila files are as PNG in that folder.
Same way to convert them back to QTC (manila) by using the button P>Q.

I was recently messing around with the weather images for "darkwolfelite" over in the farscape thread and made myself a collection of all the original manila files as well as extracted pngs to go with each. I figure it'll probably save you lots of time and help some so here's a zip with everything..
