How to change the phone skin manually
You can manually change the phone skin by overwriting the following files located on the \Windows folder of the Pocket PC Phone Edition device:
clg_dlrbtn.gif
clg_dlrbtnd.gif
clg_in.gif
clg_miss.gif
clg_out.gif
dlr.gif
dlrclr.gif
dlrclrd.gif
ending_dlrbtn.gif
end_dlrbtn.gif
end_dlrbtnd.gif
hld_dlrbtn.gif
hld_dlrbtnd.gif
snd_dlrbtn.gif
snd_dlrbtnd.gif
spd_dlrbtn.gif
spd_dlrbtnd.gif
spd_lst.gif
Just download a phone skin and copy the above files to your Pocket PC. Then reboot the Pocket PC to activate the new skin.
Re: How to change the phone skin manually
One additional piece of information: there is no .gif for a depressed number button. For unknown reasons, this image is stored as an icon resource inside a DLL.
I made DLLs with that icon for the "Candy Red" and the "Wood and Chrome" DesignLabs skins. These DLLs can be downloaded from http://www.tadzio.com/ppc/skins/TapResCandyRed.dll and http://www.tadzio.com/ppc/skins/TapResWoodAndChrome.dll , respectively. If you wan to create your own, take one of the above as a template, then edit it in a resource editor (VC++ works nicely).
To install such a DLL, copy it to the \Windows directory on your PPC, then change the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone\IcoFil to the name of your DLL, and perform a soft reset.
Have fun!

use a resource editor .. heres the site so you can choose app ..
http://protools.reverse-engineering.net/utilities.htm
i suggest the Borland resource Workshop .. just dont know if it still there .. o compatible with winxpsp2
exescope is also great .. but a shareware
PS always make a backup of a dll .. sometimes .. resource editor causes the dll to be corrupted ..
help!
okay i am using the resource hacker but i cant change anything or edit the image! help!
there has to be an easier way!

hi S1MB4D ..
some of the resouce editor only replaces or added the bitmap or image file use in the dll or exe, and it doesnt entirely create nor edit the image.. like the Resource hacker by Angus Johnson
thats why im suggesting the Borland Resource Workshop since it has that capabilities .. but since www.inprise.com no longer exist .. you can only use a resource editor that has that limitation .. to edit the image u will have to use an image editor like the windows paint or adobe photoshop .. or if it is an icon then an icon editor .. then replace the one included in the dll .. using the resource editor ..
but if you want to edit only the icon in an exe or dll for example the tapres.dll like the one above you can use an icon editor that can extract and automatically replaces the icon included in the dll or exe like in this link ..

All the nordic user wich have åä and ö in there keyboard often uses "scandivaisktastatur5.cab" (se attached file) to replace the orginal software keyboard in a WM6 ROM. Tho its very ugly and has the old WM5 design I would like to change the bmp picture in the dll:s inside the cab. How do I do that? I can extract the Cab file, and replace the bmp file in the dll:s but how do I make a Cab out of it again? I have tried to change the BMP picture inside the dll and then copy the dll file in the windows directory (where the dll files are extracted by the cab file) but that will not work. Can anybody help pleas??
Hi
I have already tried what you suggests with no luck. This is what I did:
1) Extracted the dll from the cab
2) Extracted the bmp from the dll with resource hacker
3) Edited the bmp in Photoshop (see the attachment)
4) Inserted the new bmp into the dll with resource hacker
5) Replaced the original dll in the cab with the new one
6) Installed the cab
...and it did not work. Maybe it has something to do with signing of the dll or something, I don't know. If someone wants to try another shot, feel free to us the attached keyboard skin.

PK
You would have to sign this dll etc, and even then it may not work - if you cook your own rom it might, but have a look at the new app that came out recently to change the Wait cursor. See how that's been signed and the certificates it uses, with an mui file. A similar technique may help here.

Okaj...I did the similar thing.....but i guess that you need sign it with a certificate...I hav watched a little on that maybe making your own root certficate and sign the Dll with it, but it seams to be very complicated :-(

Hi
Thanks for the info Vijay! BTW: I use many of the free tools you have developed for the XDA's! Thanks for the effort!
The wait cursor thing was done on WM5, right? Could we use the same certificates or does WM6 need others?

Hi!
I don't think the German keyboard is excactly the same thing as we try to achieve. the German one installs as an separate SIP. The SkandinaviskTastatur.cab changes the inbuilt default keyboard SIP, but there is definitely possible to learn something from the German one.

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering about the differences between these files, since they are both used to modify registry. Well PROVXML files seems to be more powerful with file management.
Which one is better to use ?
Quick:
provxml is not only for change registry.
For file operations too.
And .provxml writes in the registry after .rgu, so if you want to change something for sure, you should use .provxml

Wow this is a very good point you mentionned here ... i did not know in which order the information is written into the registry. Thank you man !
But what about the order these files are dumped into the final registry ... Is it by package name ?
For example, i have in my cooking OEM:
- PACKAGE_Diamond_A
----mxipupdate_A.provxml
- PACKAGE_Diamond_B
----mxipupdate_B.provxml
What will be the result if these two packages write at the same location different value?
Will the value be the A one or B one ?
Saw something like: *_100.provxml, *_200.provxml ...

Nice App Work with it right Now it's really nice
Thanks
Hi AnDim,
Nice tool to use in combination with the htcRIE tool. Thank you for that! Anyway you could make it possible to import reg- or rgu-files? That would make this even better!
Cheers,
/Cacti
Support .rgu files
Very nice utility, thank you for this.
I am using it on Windows 7 and one thing I did notice is that when browsing for a file to open it did not show any of the .rgu files. I had to go to the Files and Folders options on my computer and uncheck the option to Hide Protected Operating System Files. Using Ervius Visual Kitchen, I do not have to do this so maybe there is a option somewhere that can be set in the code to show all of the files? Would be great to include this as an option somehow.
Thanks for the new relase
Whats up with some keys being in red color?
And what does the program do when inside the file exist two value names with the same value data in the same key?
It keeps the last one?
Like this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\VTCallWaiting]
"Category"="InCall"
"Category"="Ring"
Thanks.
Edited...
It seems that the keys in red are the keys that will be deleted.
And the last one is kept.
Could you add an option to ask the user which value to keep?
I'm not getting how to use this. How do I connect to my device? I assumed I had to find the default or user.hv files, but I cannot find them.

Copy them to your desktop (out of \windows).
When should we expect a newer version? Any thoughts on my suggestion on my previous post?
Please add import rgu option it would be very useful anyway thanks for this great app
thank you .............
Hello,
This tool is fantastic. It's the only program that allowed me to change my .hv files without problems (I tried CeRegEditor and manual RGUcomp but all these methods failed in my case).
The only thing I miss is the possibility to import data from rgu/reg or even txt. Pleeeease

Hi guys, i tried to modified the mui file for the italian language as in the beta panel downloadable from the SE site i found lots of translation errors. I was able to modifiy it with Res Hacker then put back on the cab file. The problem is when i install the panel it says the panel cannot be install because the program dones't have a digital signature with a realible certificate.
And if i install the original and then substitute the mui file in the folder, when i launch the panel it apears in English. Is there a solution for this and be able to make run the modified panel? Sorry guys this is all my knowledge, i'm not able to program or doing more difficult things. Just wanted to try some modifications by myself.
Sorry i forgot to say that it runs on my X1. And the original panel perfectly runs without the activeX or other X2 stuff. Just the translation is terrible
Nobody knows if there is a way to sign the file, as it seems ResHack removes some something on the file when i modify it
Use any signer for wm All work )
Hi, I'm not sure if it works with .mui files, but you can try using this package, which helped me translate some .dll files recently:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432041
It contains Reshack and two small tools for unsigning and signing files.
However, the certificates of the included file have expired so you will have to replace them with the ones from this .zip archive:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5312209&postcount=37
Please note that you might have to do your work all over again with a fresh unsigned file. I don't think you can re-sign a file without unsigning it before.
