Looking for a simple small windows program that will simply show correct icons for .apk's on my PC
I set a default .ico for all my apk's but something showing the correct .ico for apk's would be great.
Is there one available?
Thanks to anyone replying.
There's got to be something??? anyone?
I remember when I played around with a Nintendo DS I found some type of shell extension that would show .nds games icons...
Was really hoping this was out there for .apk's
Really....no one can answer me on this subject....ugh
Either its a dumbass question and the asnwer is so simple anyone reading it just pass's it up, or noone is understanding my subject...OR theres nothing out for pc to do this...maybe i should make something?
Anything guys...**** give me an answer....even a "hey ceaser shut the **** up" would be somthing
Im talking to myself in this thread

Not anymore, i might have a solution for you
first get the image you want to use as an icon and resize it to be EXACTLY 256x256 and in .ico format
then click run in start menu and type regedit
allow UAC if needed
make backup of registry
if you want to just change the icon to know what it is, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk
if it isnt there, right click on the folder and create new key called .apk
check if the (default) entry is blank, if so, then create a new key in the same place as .apk and call it something.Assoc.APK (not tested)
in the new key, create a key called DefaultIcon, and in that create a REG_EXPAND_SZ and put the full path in quotes of the .ico file
tell me if it doesnt work and include screenshots
Thanks for the reply...whats I actually ended up doing is making an .ico of a droid and basically setting the file extension within windows to use that ico with any apk...thanks for the info above though

"why spend time learning when ignorance is instantanious?"
It defeats the object of having them in the ROM
as soon as you use initflashfiles to move a file it takes up room in the storage memory. make the lnk's link to the /windows/ dir instead

If you just cut straight to the last paragraph in the post above , he is right.
You are best trying to keep everything in \windows to prevent duplication of files as it copies rather than moves them over.
My fault i should have been more clear
I cant use the EXT-ROM as this program requires user input, so forget that idea.
now i have gotten the program to sit inside the \windows\ folder correctly but now i need 1 last step, i need to have a folder w/files inside transfered as well. Its a theme folder!
Example OEM folder:
program.exe
\Themes\
It copies the program and i use initflashfiles.txt to make a menu shortcut works fine ,but when building the ROM it freezes on the Theme folder. Ok so you cant have a folders w/subdir and files.
Now what should i do? i made OEM folder have all files inside but i need the themes folder to be XFER'd to \Windows\Themes\
or is there a solid command or a config file i can write to make adjustments to create/copy/move files and folders?

you know i have seen you react like this a few times on the forum, stop being so damn annoying to everyone here, really STOP. i asked a question and revised it as it was written bad, but EVEN as that you should learn how to talk to people.
do you have anything positive to bring to this thread ? if not just move along!

With my wisbar advance, i've got the theme on my sd card and I put the config.ini file with the settings in the oem. Hence WA in \windows, theme on sd card.
You cannot move things from rom to another directory, only copy them.

erm, i awnsered your question if you read my post, dumbass.
no really i saw it...
i am just telling you i don't care for you attitude that you dish out and to others as well. you could try being nicer...
ever do a search on your post and read how arrogant you are? you should try it. If thats your example of helping someone... you need to rethink things.
To be honest i was hoping someone of your caliber would come here and offer help, but that doesn't mean you get to talk to people as you like because you ..." Know More "
Its expected that you know more when we post "[Help]" in the title. That's correct we EXPECT someone with more knowledge to help, not abuse people.
Thanks.... NO really thanks for the help
I think grayme or MIDGET are more than nice, because it looks like U've never been working on ROM at first, at second YOU DIDNT use search button(that fuc.. button 9th on top) Im not a god like midged or helmi, but at least before u post something like this, try to read.Why mess this forum

I did search for the how to copy a folder w/files using the initflashfiles.txt as was not able to find any information, hence the post.
Helmi has nothing to do with this so don't throw his name around. And midget has run to this issue with a few users on this forum lately. Yea i read those too.
And i don't care if he can breathe underwater, fact is just because you answer somebody doesnt mean you get to talk to people like trash.

gotcha ya, i was hoping for a way around this as the only other issue i have is a *.rgu file which set a string in the CURRENT_USER area but for some reason it fails to build on that specific RGU which is the registration for wisbar.
besides that everything is working smooth
here is a preview of the default look which i helped a great skinning artist (Dingo) make into a great wisbar skin, the new version has sounds that are awesome
here is a preview,
Just FYI, MOST of my posts are helpful and 'nice'
I dont have to be here answering your q's so im sorry, but you have to expect an answer that reflects the mood im in atm... if you dont like it i wont answer your q's next time. it's nothing personal!
try 2 read 1st helmi kitchen wm6 post, there is explained ho 2 use initflashes if U use his kitchen if U use another try 2 read apropriate howtos. BTW dont use initflashes.dat if u can bypas it(it makes a copy from ROM to Storage - so there are files ocupiing both space in ROM and in Storage - redundant) btw there is package for wisbar for helmis kitchen

This is the point that, until I made a kitchen ROM, I wasn't aware of; did I (and 1wayjonny and others) miss it?
Ranting and raving at people that don't know what you do is not moving things forward, this isn't a simple, 'how I instal ROM?' (sic) question...
What is the reg key to disable Error reporting
How the heck do i move the Live Messenger and Windows Live Shortcuts for Start menu without getting a double. Where is the original entry that moves them from the windows directory to the Start Menu\ Programs.
I know how to do the steps just cant find the sections.

Code:

"MaxLogFiles"=dword:0
"DumpEnabled"=dword:0
I think this is what you're looking for.
Regarding the Windows Live shortcuts, just act as they are already in start menu\programs and edit the initflashfiles to move them out of there

I have a real simple question....I lost my command instructions for Typho5.exe, and it has totally slipped my mind.
What is the command to to seperate GSM, IPL & SPL, & OS from nk.nbf with out the files being split up?
From what I remember it was - typho5.exe nk.nbf -nosplit?
Is that correct? I'm sure I'm missing something here.
typho5.exe -x nk.nbf

Well, I had already said this once already, but look at the proxml file in the windows live folder, and delete the first two entries, or change the direct that there are to be installed too!

Thats correct!
If you open 'run' and type the address of the folder you can have it run with out opening a command prompt
e.g D:\DEV_WIZcrossbow CLEAN-V2\Dump\typho5.exe -x nk.nbf
Then you just place you nb file in the same folder each time and run it from the run command in start menu. It will keep it there as well for you to use and use!!!
funman i figured an easier way out. just rename the shortcuts and make the changes in the initflashfiles.dat. LOL. Thanks though. I guess your way is correct. Now my only issue is making my ROM have more memory. Im stuck at 23.49 available program memory. Im working off my vanilla rom. Any suggestions?

Well you could do it that way, but i would say that it would help your PPc if there was not redendet reg and other thing sitting in the PPC
ok i fixed it there. thanks
Now that that is done, onto my memory issues. LOL. And i dont mean my brain. Basically im trying to get at least 30 mb available memory. here is the drill down of my startup folder.
CapNotify
custTDYTSK - Cingular Ext Rom thing.
Init_Tray
ScreenRotate
Voice Command
WiFiInit
Ok so i am still working on the memory, I got other simple little thing and i dont want to have to tear apart Xplorer 1.1 to find out how to make an icon for my connectivity folder. LOL. Im being lazy. Ani you here? how did you do it?

I did it by making a resource file, placing it into windows and then making an
ico.lnk or icon.lnk ...don't remember and have no time to check now.
Dirrect that icon to the resource you created, make it invisible and put it into the folder you want to change appearence

I've already done searches for this, but I just haven't found a simple answer for a newbie like me.
What I want is to keep the weather in the tab like it is on the stock HTC home, but I want to be able to choose my city by zip code. I'd also like to be able to get radar images.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Also, it would be really cool if there was an option to have it show weather based on your GPS location.
Thanks!
theres no "newbie" way...you have to get the file from your phone's "Windows" folder (using file explorer), get it on a real computer, and edit the file using notepad...just copy the format already there for your city, save it, and put it back where you found it in the windows folder...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187

In all fairness, the search function on this site sucks. I've resorted to using google to search "forum.xda-developers.com" under advanced search.

Hey thanks for the link.
But, what I would REALLY like, that I haven't seen posted yet, is instead of having to input a city is if the weather would just update based on GPS location. Is anyone working on this? Or is there currently an available modification to the HTC home weather for this? I think that would be the cat's ass.
Thanks again!

Hi all, my first post!
Obviously u can tell by my nickname that i'm a long time symbian user, trying wm for the 1st time in a long long while.
Anyway, i was wondering if there's a way to change the file extension usingi the phone itself. Im trying to change a .zip to .theme but i cant figure out the proper way to do it. I know i can do this easily using a pc but im at work and cant do that stuff here, so im wondering if there's a way to do it using the phone without downloading another application to do it.
Oh, and yes, i did do a search for this already. Couldnt pinpoint exactly what im looking for.
Thanks!
Use resco explorer
i downloaded 2008 Resco Explorer, but cant figure out how to change the file extension...
oh well, i guess this is one not too many are familiar with.

No, it's just too obvious for most people to bother with. Go to the file you want to change, hold the stylus or your finger down on the and a menu will pop up. Scroll down to "rename". Then name it whatever you want.
Not so obvious if you read the entire question.

Renaming the file is not the issue. It's the extension.
I don't use resco, but it's trivial with total commander.
baring in mind every think is htc is like a picture, could you not look on the windoes files, find out which picture is which and then just copy edit and replace.
cause looking at htc message is boring, and i reckon if i could find the background image i could change it... if everyones following so far?
is this possible or am i confused?
yep, something like that. Except everything is inside the .manilla files , so you need to open the right manilla file and replace the image there. Look at cooking instructions, it should be explained there (I'm pretty green in that area, but that image replacing I found to be easy).
I don't know if there is a list of what each manilla file includes, so you probably need to check each file for the image you are looking for.
i tryed copying the files from windows to my sd card but it kept failing, i used to have a k800i and i had this program which was like a virtual phone, everything was clickable and when you click it you could change it to whatever you wanted then copy the files to the phone... does anyone know anything like this for htc.
do you know how to access the htc phone memory on computer it would make this process so much easier
