How Can I change the Color of the Comm Manager Screen. I don't like the default Green color and I try everything to change it but without succeed.
Thanks for your help
Wow... pointless feat.
also i would like to know it
i tryed using Resource Hacker
i opened the file CommManagerRes.dll
i exported all the bitmaps to my pc
i virated them to the blue color (see the attached file)
i imported all the new bitmap files to the dll, replacind the older one
i saved the dll into another file
So now i have the original.dll and the modified.dll
the problem is that when i copy the dll file to the device\window folder
and i restart the phone, the command manager don't open
if i replace the modified.dll with the original.dll, the command manger works correctly.
any suggestion how to have blue icon and background in command manager, instead of the green ones ?
thanks in advantage

Not sure if it will help or not but this is from my t-mobile dash. Its the commmanger.exe and dll. i have the blue one.
nice the bitmaps, but i have some problem with this versione.
In particular, when i go on comm mamager, i have the setting button....
before changing i had two menu, wlan setting, and blutooth seeting.
now i've only wlan settin, wich instead opening wlan, opens blutooth...
so, it's better to restore my file..
anyone can tell me how to solve my problem with replacing bitmaps via Resource Hacker ?
thanks
maybe (i read somewhere in thios forum) it's for the certified signin ???
wath can i do now.....
if someone can adjust the file for me, i attach them here ...
it' comm manager ITA
thanks
Hi,
I was wondering if there were any updates to this issue?
I too would like to have a different background in my comm manager after upgrading to wm6 (the green doesn't go with my theme )
TIA

Hi!
I've been searching this (excellent!) forum for these files with not Much luck.
I've come across a comm manager called mun_rus comm manager and I've tried phone dialpad-international and the zombienexus one.
The comm manager, I can't install because I get an error message saying I don't have the access rights to do so.
The dialpad-international installation doesn't seem to change anything on my phone, because everything stays the same once installed.
The zombienexus does change the phone dialpad to the layout I want, but does not use the blue/green smartdialling color scheme I've seen on some cooked roms and would like to have. Also, the dialpad used for startup pin request is not replaced by the zombienexus installation, which means I end up with a green and a black dialpad...
Please can anybody point me to the correct cabs, or files to overwrite on my phone to get those two things to work the way I like?
I'm using the AUS WM6 no SPL found in this forum.
Thanks !

Try This, it works on my 838Pro ...
Hi,
thanks a lot for this file. I get the same error message trying to install this one as with mun_rus one...
"Installation was unsuccessful.the program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."
Any ideas what I could do?
Thanks!

Maybe your ROM is lokked by default. So try a cooked version from this forum and it just works.
I've installed it on SEA version thanks for share.
I was able to install the comm manager hkkk888 posted. Thank you! I had to stop the comm manager trough task manager first.
Thanks again!
Now I'm only missing the dialpad(s) and I'll be a happy man...
Can anyone do a screen capture to show how this Comm Manager skin look like?
I would like to change the one on my Trinity WM6 too. Also, if anyone can show me a dialpad with video call button will be great.
look like this

The comm manager posted before dissapears after a soft reset and leaves me with a blue colored one...
The one I am posting stays after soft reset. Not sure, but the font on it looks more blurry...
DIAL
Dial Sceen?
ROM cookers/Devs
I understand from other threads that the issue with the dial pad is that the kaiser has 3g codecs that differ from the trinity/other htc devices, which means the 3g video call button on this dial pad does not work.
My question to you guys is; how easy/hard would it be to change the dial pad so that the action/function call behind the 3g video call button doesn't call the 3g codec/action we don't have but calls the video call function that we know we can use...?
Regards,
different dialpad from wm5?
If wm5 dialpad should work on wm6 you can try one from Hermes, works for me in wm5.
using Official WM6 SEA version, having same problem.
"Installation was unsuccessful.the program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."
However, fixed and successfully installed by stopping Comm Manager reside in memory first
hopefully this can help all

Guys, Whoever face this problem, just restart your device and do not start any program before installing this comm manager. The reason you get this error because, your existing comm manager is running and this file cant overwrite the running file.

The WLAN keys are different for 838 pro and Trinity and so for other HTC devices. The Comm Manager for Hermes will definitely NOT work for Trinity (For WLAN and Data Connection)
I don´t know about data connection, but the WLAN button DOES turn the Wifi function on and off on my device.
Still looking for the dialpad
The AUSDIM "modified official rom" does have the dialpad/comm manager I want... I´ve sent him a P.M. asking if he could share them but no luck yet...
Maybe he can/will post them...
Thanks!
There you go...
Addario, that´s the Zombienexus dialler isn´t it? I´m looking for that design but with other colors for the autocompletion window.´The Ausdim Rom has a dialpad with green/blue colored contact list window. If you open the last file in the cab, you see what looks like color codes... Any ideas if this is correct or how to edit these correctly?
Also after reading trough this and other forums it seems that it is not possible to just change the dialpad where you enter the PIN-code, without flashing another rom... Seems a bit odd...

Wrong. Here is a nice black dialpad - finger operable - I believe it ma be the one in AUSDIM's ROM - but it has no Video Call support - the only downside. It does update the pinpad entry, too. It says Wizard - but I have it installed on my trinity - works fine.
nealed, thanks. It's great, more finger friendly than other dialpads.
Hi,
I installed schaps 3.54c ROM
I also download The Black Theme and backgrounds from HTC through the .zip provided by schap's.
I pasted all files in \Windows following the wiki instructions.
The problem is i can't select the background to display it.
I also tried to change the directory to \My Documents, same issue.
Tried to convert it to .jpg, worked partialy, i can select the background, but it's displays very strange (like white everywhere)
The file i'm trying to display is htcbg_dirty.png
If anyone have a tips, it would be great.
Thanks
open it with the default image viewer, then from the menu choose "set as today background".
Thanks for your help mate ! I feel n00bish !
Does anyone know how to modify the background image for the HTC WM6 ROM build for Comm Manager and the phone dialer screen? I'd like to remove the green background with something different.
TIA.
Chris
For the background imagem try to look at \Windows folder:
HTC_BrandingBrickImg_320x27.bmp to HTC_WallpaperImg_320x240.bmp
On this 5 files you'll find the background's. But I don't know how to change the CommManager screen.. and I want it to change very bad .. this ugly green screen it's killing me .. Tmo blue screen it's so much better.
I saw in another thread that CommManager has the background images embedded in one of it's DLL's. I'm going to look into hacking it, and see if I can get the default green images changed to something different.
I believe I have found the registry locations on where to change the bitmap images for the dialer app:
Code:
Call Progress Screen
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Progress\Landscape\Other
(STRING) bmpNormal = \Windows\HTC_CallProgressBkg_320x186.bmp
Phone Application bar above number field:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSBranding
(STRING) BannerImage = \windows\HTC_BrandingBrickImg_320x27.bmp
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCdia
(STRING) BannerImage = \windows\HTC_BrandingBrickImg_320x27.bmp
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCPROG
(STRING) BannerImage = \windows\HTC_BrandingBrickImg_320x27.bmp
Download the ZIP file (which contains a blue HTC background,) extract the BMP image and use your favorite file explorer to copy the BMP image to \windows. Then, use a registry editor and change the first reg value I provided above to the filename.
You will need to reboot your device in order for the new image to be used.
That doesn't work right.
When you change the CallProgressBkg image with another in white background you can't see the call information on the screen, like call progress and contact info. Because the font color is white.
When I change back to the CallProgressBkg I got the info back. So I don't know how to change the imagem and still see the call progress info, changing the font color to black for example.
Anyone knows?
EDIT: I change it to a black image and works great!
To one attached is what I'm using right now.
I want to thank you guys, this thread was exactly what I was looking for with my Cavalier.

It's not a cab , it's not exe....it's just a file and I don't know how to install it.
Can you explain me please.
Thanks
P.S.: How can I backup the original settings , so I can go back if I does't like it ?

Here is how:
1. Copy the manila file in question to your desktop (PC) or wherever.
2. Download Manila Editor over in the Diamond Forum (in "Themes, Software..." sub-forum).
3. Open Manila Editor and open up your manila file by clicking "Select Path."
4. Using manila Editor, export the image in the manila file as a PNG, or whatever format you like.
5. Use a program like Photoshop to change the color.
6. Using Manila Editor, replace the image in the manila file with the one you altered with Photoshop.
7. Backup your original manila file from your windows folder (i.e., copy it to your storage card or somewhere else).
8. Disable TFLO3D (setting-->personal-->today--> Items).
9. Copy your changed file into windows with total commander (or resco explorer).
10. Restart TFLO3D.
Hope this helps.
I've missed Manilla Editor software
Thank you very much sk806
I'm using Dutty's 2.3 Xtreme ROM. The startmenu is based on the Rhodium roms (looks like the program tab, but with nicer icons ). However, the good-looking icons are only those that came with the rom, for example WMPlayer, settings, file explorer, etc. When you add a shortcut from lets say TomTom, it looks all crap with jagged edges. It's seems the iconholder upscales the icon or something so it's no longer at it's native resolution. I would like to be able to change the icon used for a certain shortcut myself to perhaps a higher resolution alternative.
It seems the used icon is controlled bij strings in HKLM\software\HTC\Manila. The string's name is the .exe used in the shortcut. It contains a file location to \windows\MPI_xxx.qct (\windows\MPI_wmplayer.qct, \windows\MPI_camera.qct, etc.). I know this, because when I change the path in lets say the wmplayer.exe string to that of the file explorer MPI file, the icon changes in the start menu. However, when I make a new string with a stringname for tomtom (tomtom navigator.exe) and make it's value the same as the fileexplorer, nothing happens...
So... help? I don't know what to try next due to my limited knowledge on the subject. Who can help me devise a way to use custom icons in the new startmenu?
You have to use the full path, not just the file name. Also, you have to use quotes.
For example: I wanted Resco File Explorer to use HTC's explorer icon, so I created a new string with the name:
"\Program Files\Resco Explorer\Explorer.exe" (quotes included)
And value:
\windows\MPI_fexplorer.qtc (no quotes here)

Yes... Thanks! Can I use it in WM 6.5? Just want to know because I dont want to do a hard reset when I fail.
I change my program icon directly in the program.exe file. this way both from startmenu and programs show the new icons. use resource hack to do it. you can also hack into the installation cab and change it there. so every time you change rom and reinstall, the new icon is there. just my way......need helpon that you can pm me
