...in Rickywatt's v24 vanilla ROM.
The application loads, but it will not *save* the changes out of the 4 choices. Perhaps this can be done manually?
I couldn't find any entries in the registry for the program, so I would assume that there is a config file that is updated?
Has anyone else seen this issue? The first time that I loaded v24 vanilla, it worked. I went through some other ROMs and came back to this one, but the app isn't working.
Ideas? Suggestions?
same problem here.

Strange. It worked the *first* time that I installed the ROM, but now it won't work on the 2nd install. It makes no sense. I *believe* that I tried to run it before I even installed any 3rd party software as well.
I wonder who wrote the software...they could tell us where/what it updates.

Ok, I'm lost here since I don't run that rom. What does the color changer do? Does it just change the color of the default icons? Or new icons altogether that are color instead of white? Might be able to help you out with a workaround if I knew more.
It replaces the left side icons to the shadow icons instead and tints the panel.

What Mikey said. It's really a *small* issue in comparison. Each panel has an icon in the top left. This little utility will change those very panel icons depending on whether they are selected, unselected, etc.
Like I said, it's nothing huge, but it would be nice to understand why this program, as simple as it may be, doesn't work. Those icons on the left side of the panel are the ones that are affected by the program.

If You Mean Change the little icons on the left of the homescreen for example the windows flag above the messenger Actually You Can Do It it's is pretty easy but in the end i dind't like so much i prefer it simple so here it is how i do it:
In your registry editor go to HKLM\Security\Chome and there all the entries for the homescreen for example let's change the music icon in the Chome go to DefaultSettings and go to Cmusic you'll see a entry with the name ICONPATHS (if you don't wanna lose the icons rename iconpaths to whatever u want) it's a simple backup now you cancreate your StringValue go to Menu New String Value and you name it ICONPATHS and in the strings put the icon you want .png (i never prove with other formats so i can't tell if its gonna work with another format) for example \My Documents\icon.png;\My Documents\icon2.png you see that theres two routes one is when the panel is active \My Documents\icon.png and the other \My Documents\icon2.png is for non active panel when you move up or down you can put the same icon in the two routes remember separate them with a dot and comma and that its reload your Homescreen just change to another layout and back to your sliding panel now youre gonna realize that the icon doesn't look so good because it's small don't worry you can change the size in the cpr file located in \Windows the one called CHome_320x240 copy to your desk do a backup and open it with notepad and change the iconpaths size for example this is the entry forthe calendar
<Layer ID="CalendarCondensed" Visible="False" Width="320" Height="36">
<Layer ID="Page">
<!-- Icon on left side -->
<Image ID="Icon" Left="12" Top="7" Width="22" Height="22" Opacity="0.8"/>
the iconpath is this <Image ID="Icon" Left="12" Top="7" Width="22" Height="22"
you can change to the size you want for example
<Image ID="Icon" Left="12" Top="7" Width="28" Height="28"
experiment for yourself theres a lot of things that u can do hope this helps

Well, I can't seem to find the new, colored icons on my phone (at least they don't appear to be in the \Windows directory). Perhaps that is why it isn't working? Strange. I could have sworn that I used the vanilla ROM last time, but perhaps it was the vanilla ROM w/ Opera.
I sent rickywatt a message a few days ago, but have received no reply. Oh well.

Thanks, Ricky. I previously looked in HKLM\Security\Chome\, but not the MS\Chome. I'll play around with it...
Okay, I would assume that the first registry entry in "ICONPATH" is for active and the second is for inactive...
My question is this: what .dll file contains the icons or where are they located? Is there an app/way to browse them more easily inside of the Dash and get their icon ids?
Sure, I could make my own and whatnot, but I'd like to look around at what is already there first.
in windows directory file called bronzeres.dll
This thread will instruct you on how to unsign the .dll file prior to editing it.

I don't want to edit the file. I just want to view the icons (and their id numbers) that are enclosed *in* the file.
Then find a program called PE Explorer.
Its for your desktop, you will need a copy of your dll file to open in the program.
If you dont know how to copy the dll file from your phone to your desktop...
switch your homescreen to a NON SLIDING PANEL one.
then copy the dll to your desktop.

NO THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN DLL FILES ON YOUR PHONE.
If you want to just see the icon numbers on your phone, then you should do as Mikey said, open with pe explorer on your pc, copy all the icons to a folder, then copy this folder to your phone. Then you can view the icons on your phone if thats what floats your boat.

I looked at the resources in bronzeres.dll and it appears that the active "colored" icons are one less number than the inactive icons. For example: inactive = 2051. Colored = 2050. Inactive = 2101. Colored = 2100.
The first number in ICONPATH is the active panel icon color...the second number is inactive (unselected panel) icon.
Colored icon:
(icon id 2050)
Uncolored icon:
<-- yes, there is an icon there in white (icon id 2051)
Original setup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CHome\CClock\
ICONPATHS 2051;2051
To have the top left icon turn into the colored icon when that panel is selected, do this:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CHome\CClock\
ICONPATHS 2050;2051
I changed the first icon in the iconpath down one number (from 2051 to 2050). Reboot and you will see the new colored icon in the top left panel when you select the panel.
It would just be easier if you could do it from the phone. You can do it with the PPC phones. Here is an app (RViewer) that works on the PPC phones:

Yes, you can give a folder an icon, IE if you make a subfolder under 'programs' , but file explorers also show them :
create a textfile 'icon.lnk' and enter in it :
1#ceshell.dll,-162
save it and make it hidden....
It looks like the -162 is a code for the icon entry, some files take only '0',
(1#repllog.exe,0) ceshell.dll for example allows -142 -144, -147 and -148
Now on to linking other icons to links (program's, mortscripts !), read someting about it here
Johan: I've posted on this elsewhere. The number is an icon offset within the dll/exe. You need an icon viewer/scanner too find the icon offset you need.
V
Hmm, nice, but how do i find these offsets ?
Because I love you
Be careful, sometimes it goes off hunting for half an hour. It's best to count downwards then upwards. You'll get the hang of it! PHM Tools has a very useful dll full of icons.
BTW, don't forget the first numbers before the # are the length of the shortcut string, ie everything after the #. I don't think it ever makes any difference, but it'd make for an interesting buffer overflow exploit I guess.
30#"\Windows\PHMShell32.dll,-173"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=222846#222846
Phew
Since we're on the subject, I might as well throw this one in for completeness.
You can use an icon NOT from the executable (ie not the default one) by using this kind of syntax:
65#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,4?\Storage Card\!Install\ftxPBrowser.exe,0
65=length of shortcut string
ctlpnl bit is an example of how to access control panel features (change the 4. You can access tabs where appropriate thus: 4,1 = 1st tab)
Everything after the ? is used to identify the target icon offset in ANOTHER dll/exe.
Change the 0 to specify an offset.
So in this example you're showing the memory control panel, using ftx's default icon.
Enough already! VJOkButt beckons...

I think it's used for shortcuts that point at "MSCALENDER"IE, not to an executable, to decide what's commandline, and what not...

YES ! that's what i was looking for ! I created some mortscripts, and if i put them in a Todaylauncher, they all have te same icon, now i can add individual icons !
Works like a charm...
The PHM tools i d/l didn't have the dll with all the icons...
Seems i've misplaced the old one
On to a Icon hunt....
Btw, can you use a .bmp as icon, with offset 0 ?
Don't think so. Use something like Microangelo librarian and import your own bmps into a dll and use that. That's how I use claunch.
V
vijay.. your app's not finding any icons in ceshell.dll on my device - I'd imagine it's supposed to? :>
Tried shell32.exe as well.
It did find the icon for DeviceInformation.exe , though.
Oddly enough, a freeware desktop app has the same thing.. can't find anything in ceshell.dll / shell32.exe, but does find the DeviceInformation.exe icon (resource -103). Weird?
Hmm, never really tried it. Just tried Microangelo on rom dumps of the same files, and same findings. Will look into it on a real device I suppose... Any particular icons you're after?

No, have a look at the internal ones, their great for 'normal' system icons !!
Could someone upload the icon dll from phm tools?? I don't seem to have it... or any other dll etc with some decent icons in (I'm particuly after a bluetooth one, maybe ir, to use with VJVolubilis and PHM tray launch)
I host the PHM tools on my website. Pull the dll from there:
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/!Tools/PHMTools.zip
V
Philippe's site is back online as well, btw - so you could download direct:
http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/
Other solution:
get the program "start menu manager pro 1.2"
With this util you can select a folder, and click on "change icon"
select a source (for instance a dll) end you get a visual of all icons.
Tap your favorite, and your icon is set...

I like the theme a lot as well as the tweaks, but I had to turn smarttoolkit off because while it's awesome it sometimes freezes or doesn't respond. Great job on the theme though, it'd be nice if you could reach the com manager from the main screen and if it had a quick launch.

good idea, i can add another line to the bottom of the theme under missed calls, maybe it will say "ComManager" or something like that, but how do i just add a text link to it?
Using it now. Looks great. The only thing is that the time and date look out of place on the left, at least compared to the great look of the right side of the homescreen.
I've also had issues with smarttoolkit but I'll give this version a try.
Thanks.
i know, i couldnt get the time and date to place the way i wanted them to be because of the plugins on the right side of the theme, they interfere with the time and date
Carousel theme on HTC S620 (phone make over)
Hello Aldech, can i just ask, can this theme be used on the HTC Elf (wm6) sorry if this is a silly question
no, it can not, this is only a smartphone theme, it doesnt work on a touch screen win mobile, unless there is a way to implement it that i dont know of
Having problems with smarttoolkit again, can't read text messages. The list of text messages comes up but it won't open any of them. Also if i select messages on the desktop, battery information comes up.
how can i make it so smarttoolkit starts up when my phone starts up?

Yea, I used the version you uploaded. Its a really nice program but on my dash for some reason it would freeze and certain things wouldn't work sometimes.

It So Beautiful
I got to keep it on my Dash, its so beautiful........!
Great homescreen. Thanks for putting the time into it. Using now.
FANTASTIC THEME!
I am really enjoying using it....
I do have one request/suggestion....
On the home screen, could you make the highlight of what "section" you are in more apparent?
i.e. The switch between Profile, Messaging, and Missed Calls.
If you can make it more apparent which one the cursor is on would be a HUGE improvement. The highlight doesn't seem to be much of a delta between the one you are on and the one you are not on.... The "Messaging" one doesn't even change when you are "on it"
Thanks
D.
i can but if i do, when you highlight for example profile or missed calls, if i make them bigger, they will be out of place, i will give it a shot when i get home and let you know, and for the messaging part, the work "messaging" is actually just a picture with the background its not really active.
IMO, you might want to look at removing "messaging" from the wallpaper and make it part of the home screen so it can be highlighted by either changing colors or making it bold. That would also open up changing wallpaper but keeping your layout.
well, now im working with Kavana's 6.1 rom and i'm satisfied for now, except:
i yesterday flashed my Witzard to 6.1 and there i could modify the style of the clock shown on home-screen. (so from the ugly LCD-Font to some 3d-like textured font.) Is there a similar way on the S620 to change the clock-style?
and - any chance to change to clock in the titlebar (in programs) from 12-hour am/pm to 24 hour-mode?

In your Windows directory on your phone you will find this file CHome_320x240.cpr if you copy onto comp and open up with notepad you will see all the panels and the text associated to these you can edit font size position etc, keep a copy of your original .cpr and then do your edits and place back on phone, you can use CHomeRefresh to update your homescreen rather than rebooting phone, place the file on phone and run after edits.
Free fonts @ dafont.com
Everytime you place a font in the windows dir on phone reboot then place the ammended .cpr on phone and run CHomeRefresh.
The name of the font needed is the font name not the file name the font name can be found by clicking on font file on comp.

Must admit, im loving your screen.....ive got about 4 .cpr to choose from now. Follow Stylez post and ya cant go wrong. Laters Bud
thanks for the info, it worked.
Thanks shaz3 for comments, chilly and me been working lots on fonts .cpr over the last week
satani glad it worked any chance of a screeny?
The main things to play with in the .cpr are FontFamily= which is the name of the font you want there Top: This is how far down from the panel larger number further down, left: space from left of panel "changes for clock as it's @ 0 so to move left you use - small increasements as -30 moves alot to left", The other is FontStyle which can be changed to "Bold"
Just another thing to add and thats if you put the date in the center to which is left:120 then the wi-fi will cover over the clock and make it look unclean, you can delete this line of text:
<!-- WiFi -->
<Text ID="WiFi" Left="15" Top="81" Width="145" Height="19" FontFamily="Nina" FontSize="9" FontStyle="Regular" Wrap="False" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter"></Text>
Just make sure there is no space and the next line buts up so as it will now look like this
<!-- Alarm -->
<Image ID="Alarm" Left="282" Top="8" Width="22" Height="22"/>
</Layer>
</Layer>
<Layer ID="ClockCondensed" Visible="False" Width="320" Height="36">
Now on CClock it wont display the Wi-Fi connecting but you have an icon @ top anyway.
Have fun
Have attached a txt of remove wi-fi as it loses composition in thread.
It be nice if someone could come up with a chome clock styles cab that you could install and have different ones to choose from, though I wouldn't mind learning how to make my own.

Check this out and then play with .cpr and fonts
If you follow Stylez instructions on this post and use the cpr/dll file changer then you can just make ya own cpr files and use the font style of your choosing. Along with a decent background pic, your gonna end up with a seriously personalised phone.

Thats cool the .dll changer you will need 2 .dla files in the dir to be able to choose one, i copied a .dla and renamed to b.dla in there so all the .dla files could be chosen, named b.dla as it always @ the top of the list.

sure ... here ya go:
well, i used the background before in 6.0 where i had date, operator and time right below the top-bar and only recent programs and calendar in one line at the bottom ... but still looks good.
Cool screeny
You could edit the .cpr for the date and operator to all be centered?
here ya go guys....just an example of how you can move the time, date and operator logo by playing with the .cpr file. Big thanks to Stylez. Its a working team bud lol

you shouldn't do anything with the png's exept create manila files off theme
you have to copy the manila files of the notification icons into the windows folder. (you can't use the normal explorer for that, use Totalcomander)
if it still doesn't work, try my other notification theme link in my signature

hanx for ur reply
Meant changing BLUE to GREEN ( clock, tab icons, noti icons..etc )
Great theme, but having two problems. The top bar hasn't changed (not transparent) and the bottom windows bar (Phone/Menu bar) hasn't changed either. Anyone else seeing problem with those or have any ideas why it's not working for me?
Using L26HDLEOV3.
Thanks
Looks great hempe. I'm using your black flip; you missed a file out for it in the clocks zip so here's a zip with all the flip bits.

1. Have you softreset after installing the theme cab?
if you didn't do so else or if the problem remains
2. check with total comander what's the value of:
Code:
\\\registry\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\SoftKeyBar\SoftKeyBarThemeImage
shoud be \Window\HDWall_softkeybar.png
and
Code:
\\\registry\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\TaskBar\SoftKeyBarThemeImage
shoud be \Window\HDWall_taskbar.png
if the registry entry are those, check if the HDWall_... are the right pngs

Checked the registry values and they were the default ROM values. I checked my windows folder I do not have HDWall_taskbar.png nor HDWall_softkeybar.png. Which cab is suppose to install those? Any way you could provide me with the two .png files and I'll just manually set them? Oddly enough, lockscreen and startmenu look like they should (except the background is not HQ like the background in manila...not sure if that's normal).
Much thanks!
ok i put a zip with the cab that should install the softkeybar and taskbar in the secound post.
You have to softreset after installation.
The png's are also included in the zip
BEST THEME for sense 2.5 as of NOW!!! Thanks. To make it compatible with MaxUltimate. Great great effort!
I hated the 'iPhone' look of the app drawer, which draws squares around the icons to make them look like iphone tiles. So I followed the instructions here and now it looks way better:
[I can't post external links] Search google for 'App hintergrund handy-faq.de' - it should be the first result.
It's a German site, so I used Google Translate to make sense of it.
EDIT: Yay, I'm now allowed to post links and upload and whatnot so here is the tutorial:

You will need a rooted phone, and basically you replace the tile backgrounds with transparent ones in the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk through ADB. Disclaimer: Please note you do this at your own risk and I am not responsible for any damage you may cause to your phone!
1) Download the Transparent_Tiles.zip attachment and unzip to a folder on your computer.
2)In Windows, make sure you have ADB SDK installed and phone connected via USB with 'USB Debugging' enabled. Go to Start>Run type 'cmd' and press enter, then in the black cmd window type:
cd c:\
adb pull /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
This will copy TouchWiz30Launcher.apk from your phone to your c:\ drive on your computer.
3) Before we meddle with the newly pulled file, make a copy of it and save somewhere else. Call it something like TouchWiz30Launcher.apk_original. This is your stock file, keep it in case you need to go back to the holy iPhone look.
4) Using a program like WinRar or 7zip, OPEN the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk on your C:\ drive by double-clicking (do not extract anything). WinRAR should now give an explorer-type view of the files inside the .apk. Navigate to the following folder in the .apk using WinRAR:
/res/drawable-hdpi/
You will see a list of image files that TouchWiz uses to create the iPhone tiles. We are basically going to overwrite the tiles with transparent ones directly in WinRAR.
5) Now highlight and select all the image files in the Transparent_Tiles.zip folder you extracted earlier and drag them into the WinRAR window. Confirm any overwrite prompts and then close WinRAR. We have now modified the apk (replaced the original tile background images) without extracting the apk or re-saving it. (It is important not to extract or re-pack the apk otherwise your phone will not accept the modified apk and you will need to re-sign it).
6) Now we are going to copy this apk to our phone's internal sdcard, then replace the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk currently on our phone system with the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk we just modified on our computer:
In your cmd line window, type (pressing Enter after each line):
adb push TouchWiz30Launcher.apk /sdcard/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk > /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
reboot
8) Your phone will reboot. Free from it's copycat mentality with a new-found identity
9) The TouchWiz30Launcher.apk you copied to your internal SD card can now be deleted if you wish, since you've already copied this to the phones system now.
EDIT: I've upgraded to JP6 now (Froyo) and tried this method, and it worked too!
Very interested in this, but have no idea how to do this, please elaborate
You could also just change to launcherpro or ADW, both of which will emulate the look and feel of touchwiz but not add the tiles. Probably easiest way.

Yeah, that is true. The above is useful for folks who prefer not to run 3rd party launchers and keep the stock TouchWiz for whatever reason, but can't tolerate Samsung's inferiority-complex in aping the iPhone.
I did try launcherpro and AWD but they both gave me headaches:
- interfered with USB connections to my PC,
- cause problems with wi-fi reconnecting / detecting router
- Interfered with Live Wallpapers, (especially when rotating screen)
- drain my battery (touchwiz still running underneath),
- cause some widgets that work wonderfully in TouchWiz to go beserk (BBC News, DigiClock)
- and also clashed with NoLED notifications - one of my all time greatest apps.
In the end, I decided it wasn't worth it just for eye-candy and uninstalled both. It was a shame, because launcherpro was very snappy otherwise and had great add-on widgets...
But in the end I settled for TouchWiz, modified to my liking:

Sorry mate, could you rephrase that, don't get what you mean...?
He simply replaced the colored tiles with transparent tiles.
Download the zip and put the containing .png files into drawable/hdpi of the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk.
I think if you have a deodexed rom you will have to resign it then..

Yes, but then I miss out on samsung widgets, which, whilst alot of people here do not like, I do use, so I would prefer to keep it stock.
where did you get your icons for the contacts, dialer...?
I googled for launcher pro style icons and found some on http://launcherpro.droidicon.com/icons . Then used the same principles as above to replace the original icons inside the phone, browser apk with the custom ones

Is it possible to have a transparent background in the app drawer like the Galaxy Tab?

I'm not sure if that is possible because there doesn't seem to be a background image file used in the touchwiz launcher to create the black background. I think the colour is set in the XML file code, which is a realm beyond my knowledge...! Unless someone else knows what to modify?

Cheers, I finally got around to doing this today.
Works beautifully
The homescreen_menu_marketbg_0 tile was still there, so I had to change that to black as well, but other than that, worked perfectly
