Interesting - what I'd like to know is the effect this will have on roaming.
And how you put the transparencies into the images (since I don't have Photoshop or Fireworks).
Edit: just a warning, 'shoppers. The phonepad seems to like displaying the colour White as "transparent", tho why it does so I have no idea. I guess that solves my problem, tho.

Is this workable on the Hermes / Dopod 838Pro too? I have this phone but I can't find the carrierlogo.gif file in the specified folder.

You don't need the carrierlogo.gif to be present at the beginning. Just place your carrierlogo.gif in /Windows/, soft reboot, and it should magically work.
I hear O2 actually hardcodes carrier detection so performing this trick results in a blank carrier, but that doesn't seem to be the case on my Atom - the only problem I ran into was white being interpreted as transparent.

How Are You?
Nice,i used the "carrierlogo12" and look so nice whit Vista theme that i have instaled,now its 100 times better than whit VODAFONE logo,thanks bluecream4

Thx, it is very cool modification

I have a universal and used the 120 x 20 format but the result wasn't that great, so I changed the size to 240 x 40 and all works fine now

Thanks a lot! This is really nice little hack.

OMG! After seeing her I'm sure I'll visit thise site more often
P.S. did u find this sweet hack urself?

I think this hack was advertised in the forums once - tho my first experimentations with it wasn't too much of a success. I managed to create my own 120X20 image file, and threw it in, only to find that the bloody thing truncates my logo at 120X19 (so it's missing its bottom). The price of using an unofficial dialer, I guess.
I'm a gonna try 240X40 when I get back. I didn't know it was *that big*.

ROM Extractor

ROM Extractor 1.0
This program can extract modules from ROM.
Program only can extract modules (exe,dll,cpl,...)
(files which have FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ROMMODULE)
but not designed to copy other ROM files, like bmp.
You can copy other ROM files by using a file manager.
Program can handle both XIP and EXTIMAGE files.
You should understand that all files comes without relocations.
They are stripped from image and not stored in ROM at all.
(Most of EXE files works fine)
Compatible:
Should work with Windows CE 4.2 and Windows CE 5.0.
Tested in WM 2003 SE and WM 5.0.
Please report about WM 2003 and WM 6.0.
Interface
*Enter path to module
You should enter path to module, always \Windows\... ?
*Save to:
You should enter output filename.
*"Set security offset to zero"
clear security RVA and size fields.
*"Set fixup offset to zero"
clear relocations RVA and size fields.
*"..." button
you can chouse file from list.
Double click on item will select it, "OK" will close.
Program set some fields to:
Linker version = 8.0
Operating system version = 4.0
Image version = 0.0
Stack commit = 4096
Heep commit = 4096
Heap reserve = 0x100000
Also you will have resources in .pdata section.
(This will be fixed in the next release)

Thank you for your program.
Would you change the font of this program?
MS Shell Dlg -> Tahoma..

the program is great.
however you should consider adding a default output path (say, "\") for those like me tampering with a CE.NET device with no chance yet to activate "Input Panel".

wm6.1
It seems to work just fine in wm6.1 as well.
However I do agree with crusher;
"however you should consider adding a default output path (say, "\") for those like me tampering with a CE.NET device with no chance yet to activate "Input Panel"."

ok I'm having a blond moment... what is my save to path if I want to save to my SD card? I tried '\storage card\' and \storage card\my documents\ and neither worked. Help me help my brain work this early in the morning! thanks

This one works great too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2122307
For extracting NBH files

How do you dump the file back in \Windows? I am modifying shellres.dll.0409.mui to change the "Start" word (String Data 321 if you are interested - Thank you joemanb), but I cannot place the file back. I have tried using both Explorer and Resco 2008 without any luck. Any ideas will be much appreaciated.

active sync as in XP? how can one do it in Vista? The device's Windows folder is not visible in desktop explorer

[ICONS]How to make folder and shortcut icons! ICONS INCLUDED

You want to customize your Windows Mobile device but don't want to install heavy applications?
Here a simple but effective solution!
Why should I do this?
If you arrange your program shortcuts into folders, than your program menu will open much faster.
And If you make some custom icons for the folders, you can navigate better because of the individual look of every folder.
It looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here is what you have to do to set a folder icon:
create a new file (doesnt matter what type) in the folder you want to have an icon, rename it to "icon.lnk" goto properties of this file and type a path to a DLL-file wich contains icons or an EXE-file with a special number behind it, here an example:
to set an icon for a shortcut-file... (*.LNK)
...,add the following right after the shortcutpath: ?[DLL-PATH],
Code:
[/I][/FONT]
Example:

Here are some Icon Codes for some system DLLs:
[B][SIZE="4"]\windows\shelres.192.dll[/SIZE][/B]

Sorry mate... no idea... you mean the standart drop down menu? not the new manila pop-up, big-size bull****?
If you want it bigger, than try the new manila pop-up, finger-friendly ****... (I don't like it, look here for screenshots)

Very strange, but unfortunately changing icon groups 8216 and 8217 (settings and programs) in shellres.192.dll does not seem to have any effect in changing icons in drop down start menu. I think some of the icons are hidden in outres.dll (not 192) and tapres.dll (not 192).
If anyone has made it to change these icons and share experience it would be appreciated.
Grtz

is there a way to use an icon from another application for a specific shortcut?

You should just go make a DLL and add the icons you want. It's simple:
Download Resource Hacker (just search xda for this - I can't post external links as I'm a "new" users).
Download icons.
Create your DLL (or hijack an already existing one).
Add icons, save it, and drop it into your \windows folder.
One I created is attached. There are only a few icons in there as I only have the custom icons I'm using so far.

[TUT] Editing Resources .dll etc

How to edit resources:
I have attached the software needed File Editor Suite, also you can get a 30 day free trial of PE Explorer Here
It's all very simple to do just follow the guide any questions feel free to ask.
Also take a look @ Making custom icons to replace the standard icons
Step 1:
Unsign the .dll .dla with File Editor Suites UnSigner.exe, just drag the .dll over the Unsign.exe as show in the picture you wont see much maybe just a CMD "black box" quickly pop up.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 2: Open with ResHacker\PE In PE you have to click the circled item and you will see the resources.
Step 3: Find the resource you want to edit, remebering that the file you will be replacing needs to be same size and bit
Step 4: Save your resource and in File Editor Suite you have siggner.exe click it locate the .dll and press start the process, the .txt file out put will say "Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped.
Succeeded"
That's it your done
Now use the appropriate software whether it be File Changer or just using Resco File Explorer/Total Commander to replace, if you have a file that can not be overwriten go into the phone find the file change the extension to .bak example: bronzeres.bak

Nice job bud! I like the look of the PE Explorer R5
lets keep the [TUT] going!
PS. for all, make sure to keep the same pixel size on the icons for better quality when displaying on device, for panels not as much, since the .cpr adjusts the size of the panels on the homescreen.

isn't this all covered in jdshifflets [TUT] ?

Kemekill Products said:
yeah but he deleted it when stylez pissed him off. then he got banned...
And to fianlize what happened he broke the rules with reagrds to direcspect to members no more needed to be said... If anyone has a problem PM me directly
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And then jdshifflets went on and created a new Sock Puppet account using his own address so we'd easily find out he's actually Kemekill.
And if that wasn't enough he didn't do a good enough job covering his IP address.
So until further notice Kemekill will Join jdshifflets in his/their split personality, until this is discussed and investigated.
To add to the Tute.
Sometimes when a file has only one Icon file (like for instance some .cpl files)
You can actually get away by using a bigger .icon file to replace it.
But best practice is to always use the same size and resolution to replace these.
Another Good Resource editor is CFF explorer http://www.ntcore.com/products.php
Or the Classic ResourceHacker.
Also until now i got away without unsigning files just fine, but i always sign them with new cert.
Yes I also wrote a Tute like this , but that has nothing to do with me stepping in here.
I'm just following up and the policy for creating Sock Puppet Accounts after a Ban.
Kemekill won't be back ever, and we (The Moderation Team) are not sure yet how this affects jdshifflets ban.

I've gotten this to work pretty good except for one slight hiccup... the "signer" gives me an error that the signature has expired... any thoughts on how to correct this?

New signer with certs, i'll change the full download when got time.

Sweet... thanks alot!!

I see a new Avatar there, cool.
Also when using PExplorer or CFF explorer sometimes you will need to rebuild the header for the file not to break.
At least i know that was the only way of removing \Noui from the first Marketplace exe (and also replacing it with my icon.
So with DLL files i don't expect this to be needed, but if you edit an .exe file and quickly see the .exe icon being replace by a blank icon you know you need to redo it with recompile header.

Thank you wanted to go back to my ninja but he disappeared..
Yeah i had this happening when tried to change everything in start menu to gray Good to know about header

Anyone having challenegs in copying tapres.dll? I can copy bronzeres.dll and open it using PE or Resource Hacker but can't seem to copy the tapres.dll (wchich containts the start menu icon) to my PC for modifying..=(

tapres.dll is a ROM file so you will have to use ROM Extractor and this is not easy as made for PPC, but can be done
In Top Box type\Windows\tapres.dll
In box bellow type tapres.dll
Click Extract.
This will extract it to root of phone memory.

hi folks,
i tried to unsign and open MMAppLauncherCore.dll (after copying to my workstation) which maximus.mobile has made but after the unsign step res.hacker opens a empty file, i do not know why.
can anybody try to open the file too to find out the mistake?
thx

[TUT] Making custom icons to replace the standard icons

Warning: if you do not follow the steps to the letter....you can brick your phone and have to hard reset
You can make your own custom icons for your phone by following these steps:
(I will use the start menu icon as an example)
1) find an image you want to use
2) use an image editing program (included in post) to make it the proper size and format (for the start menu icon it has to be a .ico 25x25 32-bit graphic). Most programs have a resize option...the one I included in this post allows you to resize, and save in a variety of formats (instructions on how to install the icon plugin for the program are in the icocur.zip file...just unzip both archives , and install the program to use). Just go to the image tab, select "resize" and put in the desired pixel size. Next, go to the file tab and select "save as", and select the desired file format. If you are replacing another icon on the phone you can always look at the resolution and file format using your resource editor to assure you have the right size and format.
3) use the instructions in this thread to put the icon into the .dll resource file (for the start menu icon it is #18 in tapres.dll found in the /windows directory...just copy to desktop and edit)
4) DO NOT FORGET TO DIGITALLY SIGN THE FILE USING THE SIGNER IN THE THREAD LINKED ABOVE
5) copy the revised file back to the windows directory (either using activesync, or resco, or total commander)
6) reboot...and you have a new icon

Just from what I have tinkered with...i think cmhomeres.dll has something (but that may only be txt, not pix)....but for sure bronzeres.dll...venture around the windows folder...some DLL's may have images, i don't know all of them

didn' work with WM 6.1, cant replace file.dll. what can I do?

try using resco explorer...just copy it to your storage card, and then use resco to move it to the windows directory.

thanks. iwll try it one more time.

May need to install sdkcert. *not sure about the 3G*

holy crap I thought this thread was dead, and WHAM a ninja appears!! Thank you styles I appreciate the quick response. I'm not really sure how to install the certs. Are those what came in the file editor suite?
Has it got to do with color info possibly? I don't mind fooling with the files provided all that happens is a hard reset is needed.
I've been going insane wanting to do global skinning for winmo 6.5 but with things like highlight it's not an image but a defined color bar. Plus I can't even begin to find the taskbar images to alter so....
PS. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful and petulant if I did in my earlier post. I was a bit angry at my phone...lol.
If you ever want to do some collaborative work let me know, I have years of skinning experience with several different devices and such.
EDIT: Ok, I think I know what you mean. There's a WM SDK Certs.cab that came with SmartToolKit rc09, will that work or should I try to find a newer one?
EDIT 2: Well I installed the certs from the file editor suite you provided, (both sdk and the certificate.cab and even switched from pe explorer to reshacker and it still bricked. Basically what the phone is doing is upon reboot it gets to the windows bootscreen and won't display the homescreen. I can hear the phone doing something when I scroll so I know it's not locked up completely but I can't access my homescreen and the PC fails to recognize it. Dunno what I am doing wrong but it's annoying none the less...lol.
