it's a splash screen.

Thanks, appreciate it!

Its not just a splash screen. The image name is Splash but the hex value for HTC is 9d000000, not 92000000.
If you replace 9d000000 for 92000000 it will only replace the seccond splash and not the first one. you want to make sure you have it like this:
HTC 9d000000 Splash
Splash 92000000 Splash

That helps alot. Cause I was editing TNT and couldnt recompress everything cause nd2ndf doesnt have an option htc... when I get on my PC ill mess with it a bit.

My reccomendation: start small... I started changing page pools and then combining nk.nbf files and things like that. Now I have basic cooking skills at that but am working on it.

If you want to know how to change the splash-screens:
Use my tools posted here, or use a kitchen that has them (like core kitchen).

I love your iContacts theme but I'm unable to get the theme to work for the lastest build 0.741. Is this only skinnable for 0.74? Thanks!
EDIT: NVM, I just had to rename the manilla.png and manilla.skn files to default.png and default.skn. Thanks, looks great!

great work man, love your skins!

All Lycox was saying was to use total commander to edit the settings.ini file and change the skin= from default to manilla instead of overwritting the default png and skn files. That way you can always fall back to the default skin if you preferred.

Very nice work. Thank you.

Updated to Version 0.75

Does any one know what this file is called? I am trying to change the color, even with replacing the skn and png it still stays blue. I assume it is in windows, but I can't find it.

For those that want to be able to try them easily, here's all the skins renamed as necessary, just edit the settings.ini as needed.

ok, if u want different theme, u can make your own with some programs(themegence,...). This will create a .tsk file which u should place in windows folder, then go to settings/personal/today and there should be an option to choose it
if u want a backgroun pic, go to the preinstalled pictures and video application, find the picture u want and then menu/set as today background
Thats all.

Like the title says. Every now and then people are asking how to start cooking. Some do and others can't find all the needed ingredients. I start this thread for all of you that want to start and share knowledge about cooking.
I know some of the senior cooks will take a look every now and then and contribute.
Above all, have fun and enjoy the cooking!

When is class # 1? I have played around a little with the Samsung i780 and actually flashed a ROM dump but never went far enough to learn about xip, packages, and other things. So I will stay tuned.

That's what I need to know , and package compiling, and ui tweaks, and some other things.

Hello my dear fellow cooks. Everything to start is in place. To make it easy to start I added 3 pictorials to install the kitchen, extract and build your first rom and a tutorial on how to add an OEM package. Links to all necessary reading are in post #3. I also added a clean 1.19 WWE rom with OEM and SYS to make an easy start. It now is up to your imagination.

Wow, thanks ! Soon I will be a great chef!

Hi,
I'm not a senior chef, but if I may, I will give you my contribute!

Ready to learn
Thankssssssssssssss so lot bro, ready to learn and keep in touch, really need to learn bro. great job dude. Awesome.

Great, I knew. Welcome and thanks for the support.

this EXACTLY what i was looking for. i am so happy i found all info in just one place. man, this is really good stuff. congratulations. i'll keep a close eye to this thread. will try to post my adventures too. but i must confess everytime i read the word cooking it reminds me of kitchen noises, smell of food... who invented this cooking term anyway? lol why not to say compile, build....

Hi,
Yeah, this is really worth a sticky!
As the Touch HD is my first WinMob cellphone, i was looking for such a thread where all those infos are concentrated!
Many thanks for this!

Big thanks to get this together. I already managed to make my first steps based on the Touch of HD ROM, so another thankls to kwbr.

Here you are!!! it could be much easier for me to find this thread if you left me the link for the threads in your PM, anyway I found it accidently and not using the search option since I tryed it for hours but it didn't help a bit,
Anyhow thanks for opening a great helpful thread which I think it should be... sticky... sticky... sticky
After scrolling through the thread I still couldn't find answers to my questions. So here they are:
-From which folder do I need to delete the program folders that needed to be deleted? (SYS, OEM, or TEMP) Since some of them have duplicates.
-How about the registry do I need to edit anything after all or deleting the folders only would do the trick?
-What's the difference between using the buildos.exe and the buildos+package_tools-2.7 and what is the proper use for either of them?
-in some posts it mentioned that you can add a program by placing it's package to the "OEM or SYS" folder What's the difference if I put the packages in OEM folder rather than SYS folder? do i need to do any registry changes? If so then where?
-Do I need to use the buildos+package_tools-2.7 after all and along with placing the packages in the OEM or SYS folder?
Cleaning up the registry is quiete easy, too. Use an editor with a "search in files" functionality and use it in order to find the files containing your registry keys/values.

-Can you name me a good editor to use?
-What would be the best way to change in manila's, using the packages method or replace them directly from their location in the kitchen?
-The final and most delicate question is how can I integrate the registration info in a shareware program package?

Which duplicates do you have? Try to delete it from both .

The registry entries are stored in the rgu file, which can be found within the folder. So by deleting the folder you also delete the registry entries.

Personally I'm just using the "old" version, which is quite simple to deal with.

I think it depends on the software you are talking about. You have to find out where it stores the appropriate information and then have to include it. Figuring out where it stores the information could be time intensive. Dump the registry before the registration, dump it aftwards, and then compare it using WinDiff (for instance). Its included in the kitchen. Some software may also use the filesystem, so you have to modify and/or copy some files.

Change stock start logo to vista logo cab file?

is there a cab file out there that changes the stock windows logo to a vista ball logo? I can't seem to find a cab for just that switch.

ive been looking for that same cab to.

*bump*
Ya, that would be cool.. I would be interested if such a creature existed

Start Icons Skins QVGA-WQVGA-VGA and How-to
There's not already a Vista Orb VGA but not hard to make
I'll get an image ready and resource i'll need is shellres.192.dll can be extracted with ROM Extractor attached.
This resource will have to be each person as ROMs can change the images in Settings etc.
