If your software keep the reg info in the registry, just add this key to your package's rgu; if on the other hand the info is in a file, just add the file and don't forget to add the file into initflashfiles

I have this comm manager that I found from the forums a while back.. It was made my Mfrazz..... This installs correctly and works fine... However, I wanted to change the color of the buttons from blue to a maroon color that fades to black.. I opened the cab file and found quite a few files and an XML file... I found out the the other files were actually .png files renamed. I renamed them to a .PNG file and and used Gimp to edit the pictures. I then renamed the files back to the origion file extension and rezipped the files using winrar into a .cab file format. When I attempt to install the comm manger. I get an unsucessful error. Heres a pic of the comm manager that I am changing around as well as a copy of the cab file that is not working properly.
Any help would be greatley appreciated. Maybe you could enlighten me on what I did wrong.
This is not an issue where the comm manager is opening in the background. I think I might have done something to the files when editing them to change their colors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The picture on the right is the comm manager created by MFrazz.... The picture on the right is me trying to install the cab file that I created. I just edited the pictures of the comm manager to suit the theme on my phone. I have been searching for a comm manager and decided to make on my own..
So, here's a short tutorial on how to create your own dll library and change folder icons.
what you need:
IcoFX get it here : http://icofx.ro/
ResHacker link here : http://delphi.icm.edu.pl/ftp/tools/ResHack.zip
and of cource ICONS get some here: http://www.iconarchive.com/
How it works...
Any customized folder has a shortcut inside pointing out the icon it should use
usually it's a icon.lnk file inside the folder.
and icons are usually stored in a DLL library...
So, what we have to do
1. Get some images and transform them into icon files ( .ico )
2. Create our DLL library
3. make the icon.lnk files that point to our specific icon
let's start.
After installing all the above programs and selecting some icons go and launch IcoFX
now go to Tools / Batch Convert
A new window appears
Add your icons / images,
select your icon sizes
select an output folder
hit ok
After it finishes hit ok.
Now go to Tools - Resource Editor
This should pop up
Now add your created icons
After that, hit save
Save your library with a .dll extension like in the above image.
Bam, you just created your own DLL library
Close the program
now to create the icon.lnk file
create a new text document
inside the shortcut looks like this:
1# is a parameter
myiconlib.dll is your icon library
-33 is the resource number where the icon is located within the resource dll
ok, how to find the right number for your icon:
Open up your DLL library with ResourceHacker
hit expand tree to see all the resources in the file
search for your icon
The icon number is very visible ( look at the image )
write the number in your text file like shown in the image. remember to put the "-"
so, another example:
1#MyLibrary.dll, -12
now, goto file , Save AS
Just to be sure select All Files in the Save as type bar
give the file the name: icon.lnk and hit save.
and you are almost done.
Connect via your phone via Activesync
Copy your Dll library right in the Windows folder
Copy your icon.lnk in the folder you want to customize.
And you are done.
Hope this comes in handy
Happy customizing
Nevermind, got it fixed Sorry for the trouble.
Great info! Thanks for sharing.
works great with changing a folder... how do you change just a shortcut?
Thank you very much
i dont nderstand this part , help please
now to create the icon.lnk file
create a new text document
inside the shortcut looks like this:
i have created the library.dll whit al the icons i want . i just dont understand this part above. i have to crate a new text document inside the shortcut? wich shortcut? i am lost in this part
I can't get it working, i did everything, i checked tree times but nothing works.
I GIVEUP
sorry by my inglish , i have being trying to make this shortcut but nothing works, i have being reading al the esteps over and over , but nothing works.i am tired to try to make i simple shortcut, tired to try to change the estar icon, tired to try to change waiting star icon , i just cant do it, nothing seems to work to me, maybe iam so stupid, KEEP THE GOOD JOB ,

Yes mate, as i told, did everything
lets see
Please attatch ur dll library qnd ur shortcut and ill take a look at it
Everything seems clear except:
"Copy your icon.lnk in the folder you want to customize."
It's confusing how to customize?
Does anyone still come here?
I followed the tutorial step by step and also I had no success! Could someone help me? Or anyone know which dll is the original folder icon? So I could change them directly in this dll.
I have attached the dll and icon.ink that i created, if someone can help me and verify that is correct.
Thanks

hello it looks ok....do you have reset your phone after copy the dll in Windows folder? This is very important because otherwise it dont will show the image....
Yes I did. Did not work. I tried to see in several dll where is the original icon of the folder to change but can not find.
ok you lost me towards the end. in your example you say your icon is -12, but you have -9 highlighted do you not?
also, how can i use this in a kitchen after i create my folders using oemizer?
Great tutorial, thank you very much!
I've created a tutorial about creating shortcuts to Feature Settings and Applications. Plus adding icons to these links. It has many xda-links to specialized shortcut applications!
For me it resulted in icons for MortScript
Your tutorial about creating icons for folders was missing!! Thanx again!
Senax
didn`t worked
thanks for your tutorial.
i tryed it but i had no success
in resco explorer it works in some cases, in others not and in the start menu i had no success.
Sorry i ask, i'm new to this, how do i install techGLOW icon set? they all in zip file? how do i get them to install on my x1?
Try unzipping them from your PC and copying the file/s over to your device.
Unfortunately, copying icons to your device won't change your icons. Once you copy them into a folder to your device, you'll need to use a program like Nullstring's JWMD Icon Changerto replace existing icons. Good luck!
hmmm ...both posts are generally correct actually. If the icon set have a name something like "Start_Icon_Bluetooth" then all you have to do is just copy to \windows folder, but if it is named differently then you have to use Icon Changer.
[double post]
@ brokensmile:
thnx for the interest in my icons.
yes, everyone is right. you have to use icon changer by nullstring, like what i said in the first post on my thread.
first you have to unzip the files in your pc.
copy the unzipped files in your sdcard
and then open icon changer.
go here for instructions in using icon changer
Actually, it doesn't has to be under /windows as long as you gives the right path in reg. Here is an example:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Apps\Word Mobile.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Application Data\\icons\\Word.png"
Thnks to all reply
Thank You a lot all of u guys, i will try it out
Hi,
I used ROM Extractor to transfer a copy of shellres.192.dll onto my PC. Then I used PE Explorer (claims this can read and modify windows mobile EXEs and DLLs, unlike Resource Hacker) to hack 2 windows mobile explorer folder icons. The icons that I replaced met the same image dimensions and bit depth as the originals so no problem there. However, after saving the file again and overwriting shellres.192.dll in my Windows folder, I came across a problem: The icons were changed sucessfully upon loading windows explorer, but my start menu button and some of the icons were missing from the top in my homescreen I don't understand it because I didn't modify anything apart from the folder icons. Maybe PE EXplorer has stripped some data from the original? If so, any ideas on how to fix this problem because I really wanted the XP looking folders on my device instead of the rubbish windows mobile ones. Has anybody had any success in changing their windows mobile icons without affecting any other icons in their phone. I had to restore a backup of my device using SPB Backup after this happened.
Please help!
Cheers
Hi, tozzy,
replacing the icons in shellres.192.dll shouldn't be a problem. I think you did it in the right way. One question for better understanding: have you re-signed the hacked DLL with MSigner? This could cause your issues.
Ciao
SeCo
Hi SeCo, many thanks for your quick reply! Oh I didn't know it had to be signed, I see now. Would you mind uploading MSigner here to this thread? if you have it as 4shared site isn't working for me . Thanks!
...here you go.
After ending the signing-process the signer will create a text-file with "...but not timestamped. Succeed." If you see this - all is ok.
You can delete the text-file and put the signed dll on your device. Best way: put it into the root of the storage card, rename the original dll (windows-folder) into "...dll.bak", copy the new dll into the windows-folder (using TotalCommander), perform a soft-reset and after this you may delete the "...dll.bak). Enjoy.
Hope it helps -
Ciao
SeCo
btw. - we should talk about the whole truth
There are three steps:
1. Unsign the dll (using unsigner.exe, see attachment)
2. Replace the icons (using ResHacker.exe, as you did)
3. Sign the dll (using MSigner.exe, like I described before)
and after the three steps: enjoy...
Hi SeCo, thanks very much matey that's great . Will check this out later.
