change ubook icon - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

hi guys, ive been using the ubook program to read books on my 8525 for a long time now, but ive recently started using the HTC Home screen with a grey background. anyway, the yellow ubook icon sticks out as being very ugly and i was hoping to change it to something a bit more fitting. If anyone has any suggestions to icons, anything that resembles a book will do, and how to change the icon, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

You can probably extract the exe file and edit the image using reg edit tools in RomDonalds or Core kitchen!

Check this Homescreen i came up with

took old tmobile blue homescreen did some editing and came up with this used the background from staulkor's from howard so kudos but i did edit the screens to work nicley here is a pic for some reason the one from staulkors kept showing the myfavs bubbles on screen so all i did was use the same background and edited the tmobile blue.xml to look like this first one i did so im still trying to figure out how to do this also have the black scheme to go with if anyeone is interested. what you all think??
i like it, i especially like how the carrier, time, and date are spaced out nicely. That's one thing that most homescreens lack
Um dude, this screen is old. I have had that for months. Someone else posted it a long time ago. Its called Black Dask.
really all i did was i found the one posted under black jack but for some reason myself and others the myfaves keeped turning on so all i did was edit the t-mobile blue xml and added the background from blackdash in it there where some commands where missing in the blackdash theme i downloaded like i said it came from staulker i belive none the less thanks for letting me know
i still like it lol
Hi - where to get it from? I like it very much, but here there is only a thumbnail attached, right?
Is also the calling dialog customized with these files?:
HTC_BrandingBrickImg_320x27
HTC_CallProgressBkg_320x186
HTC_WallpaperImg_320x240
I never seen a homescreen for s620 with that customized images.
So the result is e.g. grey theme, but still the default green calling dialog images.

ok can still anybody publis the homescreenplease? I dont have it and cannot find it.
here it is the home screen i posted that i edited along with the blackscheme cab file to make it look like all black.
to make all black you homescreen layout needs to be at Grey Dash and your color scheme at black bars and your background image to default.
to get the all grey look color scheme and background set to default
enjoy!
thank you guys! it's nice!
do you know, how to make it that I don't have that green graphics on the calling application after I installed the new homescreen (see thumbnails)?
Thanks its great, and the green call screen can you change by jeyo personalizer whith another one
Thanks a lot, and the green screen can you change whith jeyo personalizer, to anyone
Can you make the Windows Basic layout in Grey ?
use this to change the dial pad operator from the green htc to this just install the cab and i think you'll like it just reset the device after install
save to storage
install
reset
and dial out and see
its basic but cool forgot where i found it though so kudos to whoever came up with it

change background

firstly before any confusion, i am not wanting to know how to change the background on the today screen.
i have recently dabbled with a few new themes and have realised that whilst the majority of the OS falls in line with the theme, the phone "app" refuses to change it's background to anything other than a blue-dark blue gradient
the model is specifically an O2 orbit, and I have recently updated to the official WM6 ROM
could problem be somethin to do with the O2 software that is installed (because i believe the gradient background is the BG for the defaul O2 theme)
i know this is a trivial, minor problem, but i've got my phone looking so nice & it's a shame to have such a different background on a feature of the orbit (the phone app, that is) that should be nicely integrated into the rest
thanks for any help,
Nick
anyone??
this would be a great help if someone could let me know how to do this, my phone would then be looking slicker than an oil spillage
hi,
when i find the picture i want through file explorer i just tap and hold down and it and click "Set as today background"
that works for me.
or click settings and click today and you should see browse, click and find the background you want.
silly me, didnt read your post properly, sorry!

Call Button Screen

Anyone knows how to change the blue image that appears on top when you press the call button that says "smartphone" in Kavana's WM6.1 080408??? Or where to drop an image with the same name so I can replace it??? If so, what's the image name...
No Problem!

All you need is a pic you want to change this to. Rename it cprogback_land.png and drop it into your Windows folder. This will help you avoid messing with you registry. I have a sample one below that you can use. It has the numbers that correspond to the letters on a dial pad, so if you want to dial 1-800-BelowMe, you would know what numbers to hit from your screen's background. There are some threads that you can search for as well that are devoted to this discussion.
Dialing a number screen
Hey thanks man, I really appreciate your help, but that image is the call status background, I've already did that and it worked when I wanted to change it. The image I'm talking about appears when you're dialing a number, above the space where the numbers are written, when I had my Dash with WM6 there was a bar with the HTC logo on it, I want to put that image there. I'm attaching it so you can see it...
Will this do?
Bar on the top...
Well, I don't know if that's the background image in the dialing screen in your phone but thanks anyway. I'm attaching a picture that shows the screen I'm talking about, actually, is a picture of WM6 but instead of the bar at the top with the HTC logo, in Kavana's ROM appears a blue one with SMARTPHONE to the left, I'd like to change that bar for the one I posted before...

Restore HTC banner on the dial screen
So, there's no way to restore the HTC banner on the dial screen instead of the one that says smartphone on the right? Somebody knows how to do that without using any .cab file? Just replacing it by renaming the picture for example...

I have done a .png that has the banner @ the top and transparent under or do you want bellow banner white? Then just place in the folder location Outer posted, back up original incase you want it back?
Will upload both in morning as using Dash.
Am i on right lines?
Here is a cab.
Check this out man. I got tired of reading the posts that try to help you, so instead I just made a cab for you to install. You will have to reboot your phone, but it will do exactly what you want.

Hey O, you did it, that's exactly what i was asking for, but i don't know why the banner looks kinda blurry, if you want i'll send you the original image so it will looks better, because i couldn't upload it here because it exceeds the size of the attachment.
Very good job man, thanks...
this one looks better
Here, use this one, I guess paint doesn't work as well as photoshop for converting jpg to gif, go figure.

i would like to change background image from comm manager, could someone tell how to do this, I would like something like this (first image)

thx
I think you are looking for:
Landscape: \Windows\L_bg.png
Portrait: \Windows\P_bg.png
Try replacing them by using TotalCommander or Resco Explorer.
Have a look at the properties of the previous mentioned files to create your own
thx for your help, been playing around a bit. This is result till know
ongoing proces, i'm a little bit hooked on customizing latest time
ps: if you look at top bar i have a problem with overlapping icons for network, if someone knows how to solve this please advice
You're welcome. Guess you mean the globe and signal bars, concerning your problem? Maybe try a different image for the globe. But that's more a "Customize the Windows Taskbar" question. There is a thread running about this in this same section already It's better to continue there...

How can I customize the Comm Manager like yours? I would like to have blue highlight and nice icons. Thanks!
The icons are just images. The highlighting can be changed using HD Tweak.

mANILLA 2.5.19211619.0 background on all Tabs

Im running mANILLA 2.5.19211619.0 im trying to get my background to change on all the tabs. None of the cabs are working, the only one ive gotten to work adds a huge black space at the bottom of the pic it adds, and once its done I cant change that pic. I want to add a custom picture to it and be done with it, where is the original pic stored so i can replace it?
In \Windows - they're called stwater_480_800 (portrait) and stwater_808_480 (landscape).
Have you tried HD Wall though? You can create a cab file with any picture you want, it skins the top and bottom bars and is bg4all, plus it's easily uninstallable.
Hmm
Those files do contain the background I wanted, But its still showing the weird light blur circle background instead. Changing that file does nothing.
Are you using a miri rom? The background has concentric circles in almost a low res picture? You can enhance the quality of the picture by installing the neo drivers
Again, the easiest way to get bg4all in high res is to use HD Wall.
Yup
Exactly Miri's Rom damn, your good. Ok, was searching for HD Wall, Thanks for the link. I will try HD Wall and report back.
All is great only problem is Weather Tab does not change. Its a completely different background, even from before.
Sorry about that, It was calendar And i see why its different, I was in day to day view. Thanks again appreciate it! Now the background Miri uses for start menu is the background for TFlo 3d. Thanks again!

Strange, miri must have done some coding to the weather tab to use different backgrounds. Sorry, no suggestions on that one. Perhaps try to ask in the miri thread.
EDIT: Ok, I see you were on the Calendar tab. the calendar tab on many roms has a grey backing, supposedly to make ti easier to read.
Yeah
All is good now!, Originally used Titanium but got tired of so much swiping to move around, Now to find a 20 programs menu so i can have 5 on the home screen, found a cab earlier but it messed up the wall paper
Calendar transparency courtesy of millski. Unzip the attached file and copy the files to \Windows using Total Commander and overwrite the originals (after taking a backup of course just in case it doesn't work).
Id hate to open a new thread for this so ill post it here. I've almost got my home screen how i like it, my problem now is Notifications do not show on anything except the top start bar im on build 28011, Miri's test Rom. Im trying to add notification icons above my programs like this:

I would prefer it if the bubbles showed on the home tabs/slider bar in there appropriate icon. but anyhelp is appreciate btw im on manilla 2.5
I have gotten the Text & Email bubbles working, now im working on the Call History / Missed Calls shouldnt they show under contacts? just like the text one does.
I see you did open a new one after all though
