If you want to ask Chandra only, why you won't use PM?...
It's shellres.96.dll, but if you know nothing about that, you won't succeed, it needs either signing or XIPing.

Here I am oweida.
I read on one of the other thread also, you wanted to ask me many questions. I am all for you guys bro! But my knowledge also has its own limitations. So, may not be able to fully answer many of the queries. But, neverthless shall try to answer as many as I can.
On this great forum when you launch a thread there are many who have answer to those issues which you have addressed. This forum is full of genius whose knowledge level is very difficult to fathom. So pl dont mind if any other knowledgeable person tries to answer your queries. You should appriciate his efforts which he has made to extend towards you. You can always PM me whenever you like if you have anything pointed towards me specially. I hope you shall understand the system here. so going straight to your queries....
Firstly
You wanted my opinion about inserting WM6.1 features into WM2003 so that the speed of WM2003 can also be enjoyed. So, to be very precise I Wouldnot recommend that. The upgrades of OS are designed by microsoft with certain intrinsic features embeded into it and many a times the file system of the databases are also changed. So it is (in my opinion) a wasteful exercise to fiddle with that for not so very significant gains.
And according to my observations the speed of WM6.1 is not so naticeably less than WM2003 any longer and on the other hand embedded with lot many advantages & features which make me happily sacrifice the minor reduction of speed over WM2003 .
secondly
The icons of WM6.0 are more or less similar to those of WM6.1. And as explained by utak3r already, the most of the system icons are in shellres.96.dll, shellresapps.dll, shellresapps.96.dll. But, unless you know how to dump rom and cook it back, you would not be able to change the icons.
Another way is to create a separate resource dll having the icons of your choice and edit the shortcuts of the applications to show those icons. That you can easily do without any advance knowledge of cooking.
I hope i have managed to you answer your both the queries. If you still want to know anything more feel free to PM me or post your queries on the relevent thread. search button is also a very useful companion try that too.
...regards... c_shekhar

Thanx..
thanx for explaining ....
I'm gonna PM you whenever I need you.

XDA 2i Alpine (PH10C) ROM Contents

I have the entire contents of the XDA 2i Alpine (PH10C) on my site, you can download it here. Please tell me if you find it useful.
Since a few people have downloaded it.... anyone have any idea which cab file is used to add the bloody annoying o2 active UI? i'm thinking one of the 2MB~ files....... man I hate that thing :evil:
v36024_install.ARM.CAB
v36024_install.ARM.CAB
This is evil... it's the o2 Active UI installer file.
When installing, just choose the "Corporate" option and use the password "0506" this will stop the O2 customisations (Ie it wont install that cab)

Hi Jayplucinski
Thanks for the timely posting
I'm a novice at the XDA2i, but curiostity has got the better of me and i would like to upgrade the features in extended ROM.
I'm currently doing the rounds of the various threads, working out how and what to do.
Do you have a breakdown on what each of the cabs do??
A location of or for useful cabs / exe's to install?? I think this would be a useful resource for upgraders like myself.
Thanks

I'm a novice too But some of the file names give things away a bit. Why not search for the filenames on google or on the forum itself? I'm sure that would weild a few results. But as you will see in my posts above.. I know which file installs the evil resource hog that is o2 Active UI
Hi Jayplucinski
Thanks anyway
Have noted the evil one!!
Miket
Hi jayplucinski, can you post me the Today Plug-in "Message".....Thanks !
Just to let y'all know
The file was deleted from my server about a week ago, after 800MB + of downloads, my provider was about to start charging me... so I had no choice The good news is, that I just FTP'd the file to XDA Developers And you can see it for download below If it starts to get a heavy load, i'll TRY and put it back on my site... but I'd need cash for that, of which I have none Donations please, JKS. Anyways enjoy.... again.
SNIP: It would have, but:

move phoneAlarm to bottom screen - Hima

Help.. attached is my current Today screen..
i want to keep my Hima as content free as i can so i only installed SPB pocket plus 4, changed today theme with a full black one, and installed PhoneAlarm.. that's what i have right now.. I want to move the PhoneAlarm to the bottom most part of the screen where i also took out the screen rotate/power and wireless comm manager icons via reg hack.
can anyone please help? i tried using WAD but it's too big for me.. anyway i can just tweak the PhoneAlarm itself?
any ideas will be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance!
U have to edit ur Registery Settings For Ur today screen (i.e. their order numbers)..i think
There is a very good explanation on the PhoneAlarm website on how to edit your skin. That should do the trick.
There's also some old tiny today plugin (can't remember it's name, sorry) that adds just empty space between other today plugins.
success
AFAIR it's called "Spacer".

thanks for the replies! im in the office ryt now and i can't install spacer yet.. BUT.. if it's a plug-in, then it would do the same as adding a new plug-in to move it.. then a white scrollbar will come up on the right... RIGHT? (hope im wrong...) i'd try it.. anybody else got ideas? how about that registry mod thing.. any clue what key values i need to modify ?
thanks!

downloaded it not from scarybear site but on

set it on 33pixels...
perfect!!! thanks everyone!!!
I'm sorry. I didn't know it was on Pocketmax, else I would have given you the link.
I advice everyone to always check the original writer's website for all your software, both for PC and PDA.
In general they give better support, more information, they like to be in touch with their users, comments and suggestions can improve a product in many ways. Most offer free beta's for serious testers, some offer free full products for beta testers and I've seen more than once that writers released their older products to the public domain while they're still on sale on the shopping cart sites.
And of course it's safer...
In most cases you can find a link to the writer's site in the About screen, the Help or a Readme. Or you can Google (sorry Google, I continue to use it as a verb)

SIM Manager and SIM Contacts

Hi All
In my contacts lists I have the windows contacts and the SIM contacts, all there to confuse me.
is there anyway i can only show the windows / outlook contacts when accessing the contacts on my phone ? I dont really want to delete the SIM contacts as I use them in another phone occasionally
Any ideas ?
Cheers
one idea for you, SEARCH
The answer is easy to find. You gotta work for your knowledge on this site.
waste of post instead of helping...i guess so is mine but i would help if i knew or not post at all..
well documented that setting must be cooked into a Rom. If you simply toggle the Registry Key it will reset itself!

Reboot, many reports that it doesn't survive a soft reset/power-down & up.

It has worked for me when I have reboot numerious times, after flashing 3 different roms L26, Dutty's and others. Some of the programs I use require soft resets after installation. I usually have to got through at least 4 resets to get my programs and tweaks installed properly.

Nice Answer and terribly helpful that.
I did infact try a search which brought little that would help other than a hundred or so posts containing the odd word.
Please stop having a go at those who want some seemingly simple help advice. If you know it GIVE IT.....
I use a range of different forums and all have been great to use with a wealth of information to help and guide us mortals out of a hole as well as offering info on how to make the best of things. These forums are backed up by some pretty knowledgeable folk. This is one of the best I've used.
However its also one of few forums where some of its members who deem themselves as gods regularly seem to want pound those who simply want some help.
I often read posts on here where people have asked a pretty simple question and got berrated for it. All they get as a response is '...SEARCH..SEARCH...SEARCH......SEARCH.... ' JUST HELP for godsake
C'mon man, theres soooo much info on here ,IT CAN BE hard to search for the right answer especially if the correct search terms or keywords arent being used, it can become frustrating for anyone seeking help and therefor easier just to create a new post. No ones fault just the sign of a great forum.
Please though....have patience and offer help. We're not all gods
Cheers
use the file under my attachment. it will hide ur sim contacts and it will survive soft resets/power down. This cab was posted under L26's V9 thread.

Glad you found it ssunstone. Some people in these forums can be really anal about giving out info and get off on telling them to search. Sometimes its valid but I see many times when it isnt.
I agree for new users to the site it can be incredibly confusing due to the shear volume of info and threads, added to this is the fear that doing something wrong may brick your expensive device its no wonder that people ask for conformation.

how to create a tab for tf3d?

greetings
how can i modify or create a tab for tf3d,
create a clock?
where i can find that info?
or is somebody wants to teach me
thanks
have you tried using the search bar to find your answers???
yes
and all i can find is some app you can do something pre-defined
i want to know how i can modify it at will
no just some pre-define tabs
Hey Dadiio,
I myself am unsure. However, a developer here on XDA has created a tab for standard windows mobile plugins (I believe it is called MTP). You may want to search that term on XDA and PM the developer of that plugin. Keep in mind you will probably need some significant programming/coding experience.
thanks
let me see
i am a software developer since 1993
but my experience is more on database app

Awesome , since you are an experienced developer, it won't really matter if you have to brush up on a bit of syntax, you have the ability to write a piece of software, regardless of the language. If it was me, I'd try to convince him to lend you his source code as a starting point . I do know that his program keeps an app open in memory for his particular functionality (which is very useful if you use touchflo 3d, I don't due to the battery drain).
Give the guy a shout and see what he says...good luck!
ok
i tried to find the "MTP"
but i don't get nothing
if you can help me i will appreciate it
thanks

Change "Notes" Application on dialer

Hi to you all. I wonder if anyone could help me, as i can´t find any help on older threads. On dialer there´s a button "Note". During call, if clicked, take us to, i guess, standard WM Notes application. How can i change this shortcut to Screenwriter or Apmemo?
Thanks,
C´mon guys this is not a hard one I suppose. Or is? Regards.

lol or look through reg @ phone settings mind you i think it's hardcoded "but could be wrong"
New htc song plays in background while placed on hold
You both are not helping at all. I read somewhere that the spirit/goal of this forum is not that kind of behavior.
I don´t need standard notes at all. I think that if i can find the executable and the parameters of the link on the button, i can replace it with a shortcut or even a mortscript.
Anyway thanks for your reply as now i know you both can´t help.
Regards.
Um so the look through the reg for phone doesn't help?
It's not going to be a .lnk and as previously stated the button will most probably be hardcoded.
Looking throu reg finds nothing also i doubt another software would follow the default format of note.
So my hunch says no you cant.
I can´t find a clue on registry. Thanks Stylez.
