hello!
i would like to change my Kaiser's dialer/commanager's background image.
anybody know how should i do that?
i searched the whole forum, but i always found questions about this...
i tryed to change some images in dialer's .CAB files, but that is not so obvious for me.
i would like to use this background, and simple black buttons.
thanks,
pulyka
I did this a while ago.
Look inside the \Windows folder on your device using any picture viewer and take note of the filenames you'll need. Transfer the images to your PC and edit them. I had to transfer them to my storagecard before being able to move them over, as my PC couldn't see the Windows folder.
After altering the images to your likings, transfer them back to your device and reboot for the changes to take effect.
Good luck with your skinning project
hmm thanks, i will try it!

I have a quick question. Is anyone willing to e-mail me the Tilt's (HTC AT&T 8925) original/standard spbcalc_L (landscape mode) and spbcalc_P (portrait mode) files? These two skin files allow the phone's original calculator to display. In the process of installing a few new skins for my calculator, I wrote over the standard files and lost them. I'd like to roll back to the phone's standard calculator, but I am now unable to do so without these two png image files. Please let me know if you're willing to send them to me. The two files are located inside of the Windows folder, which can be accessed via the File Explorer program. Thanks a lot. I know this is a relatively minor issue, but I'd appreciate the help.
P.S. If anyone has the HTC AT&T 8525 model, then the files from this phone would work for me, too. Thanks!
Sorry, I have to say you may need to hard reset you phone.
Because I cant find no where about your spbcal* files. I believe you are looking for SPB calculator P & L. The original Tilt doesnt go by that name. You may want to reinstall your SPB software to get make correction. Mine is called calc.htm & calc.lnk, if this is what you are asking for original calculator file.
Hey, thanks for the reply. I appreciate your time. I looked at a Tilt recently and noticed the same thing - that the calculator files are named differently on the Tilt from how they are named on the 8525. I looked for the calc.htm and calc.lnk files, but I couldn't find them on my phone. Thanks anyway for trying. I'll have to try and figure something else out.
i would like to customize the slider in titanium, could someone upload the file or tell me what file it is in the Windows directory?
bronzeres.dll in \windows
under rcdata
portrait 3000
landscape 4000
so i'm using XN resource editor, i'm new to this- i figured ut how to export the images, but i don't know how to replace them, anyone care to guide me?
use resource tuner...its the best that i know of...its what i use...if you want i can mod the file for you...just give me the images that you want to use and ill see what i can do...if not get that program and change them yourself...
thanks for the offer, but i am here to learn, i got restuner and i opened up the file and replaced it pretty simple, but then after putting it in my windows directory there was no homescreen, so i had to switch back to the original
do the images have to a certain type? restuner said they were .png so i ripped the files from the .dll and they were .png so i opened them with GIMP then colorized them to light blue and then saved them with default settings and but them back into the .dll, do i need to use special settings?
hey no prob...i like to do it and learn myself...i only offer cause alot do not...they just want it done...lol...alright...when saving you have to change and then click save as and put whatever and then add the ext .png...will save in .png and should be good to go...
First, I got the idea and some of the icons from skilty in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425176. Thanks to skilty.
Although I started with skilty's theme, I have pretty much redone all the icons. Not everything was covered in the Rhodium Manila so I needed to add several things. I scoured the internet for some of the other icons and assembled them here.
The first picture is the loading GIF after a reset. The second picture is the background. The third is some screen shots of the TF3D manila. The last picture is the phone dialer.
For the contacts, I have used the Matrix cell phone for the mobile device, the old fashioned phone (hard line) as the home phone, and a phone booth as the work phone.
There are icons for Manila Today Page and for the new Manila TV tab.
Before you do any overwriting of files, I would suggest copying all your manila files to a folder on your desktop in case you want to go back to the way things were before.
I've attached all the manila files in the New Matrix Manila zipped file. The dialer screen, background picture, and other files are in the other zipped file. You just need to copy the manila files onto your device and then use a program like total commander to copy them to your \windows\ directory. I haven't had much luck removing TF3D from today and then re-enabling it. I pretty much had to do a reset after copying the files.
I'm having trouble right now uploading the loading screen gif. I'll see if I can still upload it.
I hope some of you enjoy it! And I don't take any responsibility if anything happens to your phone. There shouldn't be a problem since it is only graphic files that are changing.
I almost forgot to include the Action Screen I created.
You first need to have this installed (I know it was already installed in the Eneregy Rom series 2 I am using). http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=58625
Then you need to copy the contents of the attachment into the \windows\actionscreen\ directory. I have changed one of the buttons to a 3G toggle instead of bluetooth since I never used that one.
Also there is a skin for psShutXP. Its only the image files, so I'm assuming you already have it installed on your PPC device.
Attached is a new action screen by Oz from here.
And finally I have attached a skin for xdashutdown developed here.
Enjoy.
Here is a skin for the power radio app, Resco Explorer, and s2u2. I've also uploaded the matrix background that you'll need for s2u2 background.
Do not understand why this theme was buried. It is soo nice. indeed.

First, do you have Sense 2.1 or the newer 2.5 installed. You should find the info under you device info in settings.
Also, I think I'm going to resurrect this theme so I can use the new CHTScheduler for the CHT Home Tab. So I'll be updating this for sense 2.5 in the coming weeks. You may want to hold on for that.
If you still want what's posted here, I'll throw together some cab files for you. Most of the stuff is manual install, meaning you have to copy all the files to your devices windows directory. Does any of that help?
Hi!
Thank you very,very much! I already took some parts of it (the background pictures) and i put it on my phone. It looks ...WOW...but i still want to install the whole theme.. Yes, i have the latestes Enegy Rom installed, with Sense 2.5...So i will look forward for your new theme (and, if is not to disturbing, the guide step by step how to install it - i undestood that i have to copy all the files to \Windows, but..this is it?? ).

There is only CAB attached. Could You attach also ZIP to this post?
Hi there,
i searched the forum for a while now for a problem that every now and then pops up for me after reflashing. I'm searching for an automatic way to assign my own thumbnail graphics on the sense internet tab.
I use the manual way sometimes after flashing, but it is not satisfying me, because it takes lot of time to copy the files, rename my original files to the newly created ones and copy them back. So most of the time i don't use the icons...
Yes, i know that the pics have to be 512x512px PNG Files, and i also know that they are stored under Windows\Thumbnails .
I'm searching for where the information for the lookup of these pics (for example {2B1EE4E4-651F-D4DC-708B-DB1319CA381E}.png) is stored. I neither found it in the registry, nor in the filesystem as plain text. I copied the whole file system to my pc and did a in-file-search.
For me there are now to last possibilities where to find them:
Theyre stored as hex values in registry or in filesystem, so that a normal textsearch is useless or
theyre stored in a database file.
If someone has an idea which file it is or if theres another possibility i would be glad to hear it. It makes me crazy that we can change EVERYTHING on our wm-devices since years, but something like the bookmark icons (whch is significant for me) is so hard to find
best regards, Puckmeister
Are you looking for "Custom icons" or just a snapshot of the webpage? I know that if you save the favorite in opera 9/10 and open the favorite from inside opera (from the favorites menu) you will then see the screenshot of said favorite in sense.
I ran into a major issue last night.
This was REALLY pissing me off, you know one of those things that SHOULD be working but isn't. Whenever I view the decompiled apk (framework-res, and systemUI)
The files are decompiled everything looks correct, but when I open the image files in cs5 they look all blurry as hell. I have attached some screenshots. Make any sense to anyone?
Just curious why the images would show up that way once they were pulled into PS. Its not just that image, its all the images. Does anyone know how I can resolve this or even prevent it from happening?
Can I not use Photoshop CS5? Dreamweaver CS5 seems to handle the XML files like a pro.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try without decompiling - its not needed just for replacing icons - use any zip program to open apks

Tried that too. The first pic is the picture preview in the folder. It only happens when its open in PS. Very strange. I can open it in paint, and the the icon is normal (just loses the transparency, of course).
Open the img with paint.NET first, then save, then you can open it in photoshop.
I think this is an issue with the img being indexed in photoshop, something like that.
It's an indexing issue, ps dies not do it right. Open the images in either paint.net or the gimp. Switch the mode to rgb, save then you can open them fine in ps
What a pain in the ass. Opening them all in paint.net now, this might take me awhile. lol
