I have found through trial and error that it seems to work if you select one of the Phones which only supports portrait mode. On the ones which can rotate, although it lets you upload the image and set up correctly, it crashes when processing. That can be overcome by using the portrait only and then editing the .tsk when downloaded and saved - simply delete the exisiting image file and replace with the correct pair of .jpgs for Portrait and Lansdcape [ stwater_480_800.jpg and stwater_800_480.jpg].
Editing the .tsk is done by making a copy - rename the extension to .cab and then use WinCE CAB Manager to edit. Once done, save and rename back to .tsk

You cannot copy/move/rename the ROM dlls. What you can do is to go to the ftp.xda-developers.com site, and perform a dumprom from the ROM images available on the site. To download dumprom and FAQ, goto wiki-xda-developers.com site and search for dumprom.
Bear in mind that if you then copy the new tapres.dll into the /Windows folder of your device, it exists as a run-time copy that the device manager will use instead of the original one in your ROM.
However, the new DLL cannot survive a hard-reset, and you must copy it back to the /Windows folder after a hardreset.
Last time, I think some of the drivers for Compact/Mini/JAM are customised for the hardware only. I'm not sure about taperes.dll, but you can try porting and see if it works. Good luck!
Anyway, here the tapres DLLs from a GERMAN ROM.
Thx alot for your help, i have found the graphic in the tapres.96.dll but i have only heard about a way to change the graphic by change the registry to a other dll...
Ok here an information for anybody who wants to create own skins for dialer on MDA3 and MDA Compact with Key Pressed graphic.
- modify the normal graphics with any graphic program
- extract the .ico files from the tapres.96.dll for example with "PE Explorer"
(Icon_Entry: 1 is for Standard and 2 is for Landscape graphic (3 is sqre))
- modify the .ico for example with "axialis icon workshop"
- replace the icon files with "PE Explorer" and save the .dll to a new name like tapres.97.dll
- modify the Registry Key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone\IcoFil to your filename "tapres.97.dll (original its tapres.dll)
- softreset
Thats all ;-)

No matter what theme I try to use, it's not recognized in WM6 when I tried to import it (no valid file found), or try to click on the file, it just takes me to the today settings with the list of themes, but the new one isn't there.
Anyone have any idea how to force WM6 to start recognizing themes?
you have to copy the .tsk file into the windows folder on your device. this information is ALL over the themes thread so do a search using google.....
I used search and the words ( install theme ) and the 4rd one down, maybe 5th now. You may have had this problem solved earlier if you had used it.

I just found that - does anyone know anything about files with an extension ".theme" for WDA? Thanks for the input!
ok i have the manilla editor, and i know how to use it but, i dont understand how to edit the images and get them back to the format they need to be. i was told to export the icons from my phone for backup.which i dont know how to do..so i decided to skip it and try on a ready-made set. I opened in manilla editor then export to PNG and edit in Photoshop but now how do i get them back in the manilla editor? and i need to know how to backup my originals?..i have a sprint htc touch pro rom ver. 1.03 which i think is irrelevant but whatever..Thanks for the help in advance!

first if your manila is cooked in your original files will be there on the device if you delete the modified file, but if you want copy all files in windows with manila ext. to a folder on pc to back up. Next, just go to the original file you modded using manila editor and choose to replace it, choose directory your modded image is in and replace. beware though some images in sprint and att tf3d are a little tricky.
do you knwo which manila file is the the email background?

on your computer, goto control panel, folder options, from there unselect "hide operating system files" or "hide protected files" and you will be able to see the windows folder on your phone
I would like to introduce in one .cab/.zip file the hexagonal start menu files compatible with WM 6.5 and 240x240 screens (like the Treo 750). The hexagonal start menu was removed from some WM 6.5 installations and now you can reinstall it.
Comes in two versions, with and without border.
.cab instructions:
1) Create an ActiveSync connection with your phone.
2) Copy the .cab file to your device.
3) Locate the .cab file on your device using Total Commander, or Resco Explorer.
4) Run the .cab file and let it install. Accept OVERWRITE if prompted.
5) Soft reset your device!
.zip instructions:
1) Create an ActiveSync connection with your phone.
2) Unzip the .zip file to your place of choice.
3) Browse your device, and copy and paste the files to your phone or SD card.
4) Use Total Commander, or Resco Explorer to locate where you placed the files and COPY/OVERWRITE all three files to the \Windows directory on your device.
5) Soft reset your device!
When your phone is finished booting open your start menu and enjoy some hexagons
thanks
I will give it try...

There was a problem with the .cab software I was using and it stripping the information from the .cpr files. I have re-uploaded the files in .zip format and changed the instructions. Try it again I promise it will work! This new way is more manual work, but it is very easy to do. I recommend using Total Commander as linked above. When in Total Commander select all three files and select copy, then browse to your \Windows directory and select paste. It will ask you to overwrite a file, select YES. After you are done, soft reset your phone.
Updated with working .cab files, feel free to download and install them!
great work
I've just instaled the .cab of the one with borders, and it's just sweet...
it's just beatiful... I RECOMEND it

Thank you! If there is enough interest I will make different shapes/colors/FX as well!
Will this work on a 240x320 device? I'm guessing no since you labeled it 240x240. Just wondering, I would like to try it out.
What is the difference between with or w/o border? What border?

I made that same question to my self, and just tryed both...
with borders you have the hexagon and borders highligted, on the one with no borders you just have the hexagon... you will not experience memory problems since the memory used to make the hexagons is the same used by windows to highligt the icons on the start menu...
I prefer the one with borders if you want to know

Mobile Office
I notice that there is no office installed with this ROM. When I tried to update my Office to 6.1, it would not install because it was not currently on. Is there a way to install a previous version so I can do the update?
Aside from that, I am liking this 6.5. I had 6.1 and it didn't look any different from the previous 6.0. I am using an unlocked Cingular 750 on the T-Mobile network. I have been using a Black Dash, which I loved the Kavana ROM on!
You can get office from here

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.
