Hey all,
I am trying to change the wait symbol animation on my PPC, and have read up on it, but all the directions say I need to copy the gwes.exe.0409.mui from the windows folder, modify it, and overwrite the old one with the modified. Unfortunately, I can't even copy it out of the windows folder. Seems like no one can get it to work very well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-270645.html
Does anyone know how I can copy and then overwrite the file?
Come on, I know someone here must know how to do this.
use a program like gsfinder+
Hey Sleuth,
I've tried using GSFinder+ and Resco File Explorer. On both programs, it will let me use the copy command, but when I try to paste it in another folder it says that the file cannot be copied. Any ideas?
Basically, I'm hoping there's an easier way to get at the file than dumping the whole ROM.
Same problem here, any ideas?
Hi,
I recently installed PHM traylaunch, very nice APP btw. Could someone inform me of how to change the icon that is presented on the today screen? For example, I put calendar.exe in the traylauch and the icon that is associated it with it is garbage. Could someone explain to me how to change the icon? Thanks!
I believe the icons are located within the program's files, usually a .exe or a .dll file. You would need to edit the files with a program like reshack (resource hacker). I did this for a couple of programs when I used TrayLaunch. You'll need to replace the icons in the file and save it. I would make a backup first -- you don't want to screw up the program's executable and have no way of recovering it.
I usually copy the file to my desktop to edit it. When I have the new file saved, I rename the old file on my device (xxxxxx.old), then I copy the new file to the same location as the old one. If you replaced the icons with new ones more to your liking, then a soft reset should show you the new icons in the tray.
I think calendar.exe is in ROM, though, so this probably will not work. I believe there are launcher programs which let you assign icons, but I haven't used any. TrayLaunch is simple and efficient, even if it is a pain to set up initially.

Great! Thanks for the information. I will give that a try.
I'm trying to see if I can edit the start button icon and found a thread about copying and editing a shellres.dll file but I have tried everything to get the dll file off the phone and onto my pc but I keep getting an "access denied" error.
Why won't the phone allow me to copy these files? Is there a way to get around this?

this is the dll you will need to change the startmenu icon
dll files
the way I figurd out to copy dll files from windows is, since you can't see the windows directory folder from your desktop, I copied which ever one I needed using the phone to my documents folder. then I could go in with my pc using windows explorer and copy it out from there, do the edits and reverse the process, placing it back in my documents folder and then move it to windows.
I have created 4 PNG files to place on my phone to replace the background in all tabs as another user showed but I am having trouble converting to QTC to put in the Windows dir. I tried m9 editor but dont know what to do!
Also I cannot access the Windows directory from my PC, is there a way to do this?
Does anyone know how to hide the HTC clock (not flipping it up to make it smaller) completely while keeping TouchFlo3D activated?
I want the home screen has has completely nothing on it to show the whole wallpaper.
freshgear.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/htc-touch-hd-screen-main.jpg
Like from the picture above, I want to hide:
The Time (10:20)
The date
The alarm off text
The call history and calander text
So just a blank screen w/o anything while keeping TouchFLO3D running.
Hi
yes it is possible
I have to know what kind of phone you'v got, to help you

You can use TouchFlo Detacher to assign operations (show/hide/close)
Hi
what you have to do is,you have to change 17 manila files to transparency and the mode9 file 1c684cd8_manila.I did it already for you,because I changed my homescreen too.Important is,go in you phone windows directory (Windows) and save all the files what you will overwrite with this procedure to you computer to be on the save side,because it could be you change you mind sometimes,and you never know what could get wrong.If not,you will have to make a hard reset with you phone to go back to you original state,copy all the files in your PHONE WINDOWS DIRECTORY (WINDOWS)

Are all the files from your ZIP stored under a specific folder in Windows? I browsed the Windows folder in my phone and found the exact file names that matched the ones you have attached, but they are not in PNG (all the files just have a Windows icon), are those the ones?
Hi
I'v got something better for you,use the cfc_gui tool from chainfire,what you have to do is,copy all manila files to you computer,open it up with the cfc_gui tool,it takes a couble a secound to open it, in this tool you will then find all you manila files,if you tick of one file you will see all his content,size,name and picture, you can than save each one on you computer separately and work or change something on it with photoshop or others, if you in the cfc_gui tool go to the (home\vga files) because that a the files for the clock,if you make all the files transparent than the clock will disappear,you can do a lot with this tool,of course you have to be connectet with you phone to the computer to save the alteret files back again to you phone,and don't worry this tool save all you files to the right place in you phone if you use the cfc_gui tool than you don't need the zip file any more you can choose you own method and do what you want, underneath the download link.

I think I cannot use this method because I do not use a Windows computer and cannot connect between computer and phone.
Basically, I just need the things highlighted in neon green in the attached photo to disappear while keeping everything unchanged.
From your first method, I found the files that you put in the ZIP under my phone's Windows folder, but the ones in the phone's Windows folder are not PNGs.
Can you confirm if those are the correct files to replace?
Also, if I just need the few things from the attached photo to disappear, do I have to replace every file with the ones from your ZIP?
Hi
to you first question:how do you copy the files in you phone without computer
to you secound question:that what you highlighted on you phone that is exactly the 17 manila files,you will find in the new zip files the description of all the manila files
to you third question:the manila files a all alteret from PNG to QTC otherwise it would nothing happen when you copy them to the win directory,it was my mistake I should have mention it early in the post before, apology for that
to you fourth question:use the files in the new zip for what I will make a download link underneath thats the right files
to you fifth question:yes all the few things on you photo is all the 17 manila files, look in the description in the new zip file you will see that you need all the files,it is all explaind
something else use the mode9 file 16c84cd8_manila only if you can still someting see on you clock and screen
as you can see on my homescreen no clock

To answer your question, I only use bluetooth to transfer files between my computer and phone.
By replacing the files with ones above, will it cause any problem if my ROM isn't english?
Is there a quicker way to backup all 18 original files in case someday I want the clock back, instead of copying one after one from the Windows folder?
Just to confirm, your ZIP above has 18 files (excluding the capture.PNG)
One last question, how do make the menu bar transparent (like from your home screen above) and change all the icons at the bottom of the screen?
Hi
no it cause no problems for you ROM,
no quicker way to copy files from you win phone folder,if you would have a connection to you phone via computer it would take a few secound to copy,
zip files have 18files 17 manila and one mode9 file,+PNG
for you last question:to get the transparency for the taskbar I cooked it in my ROM after that I flashed it to my phone,I'v got a cab file that promised to do that same with the taskbar,I never try it because I cooked it already in my ROM,if you want to try it I will make a download link, if it dosen't work you can delete it again from you device,to the icons you can use the HDWall tool to create the icons
