Cook another start menu icon into rom?

Hey guys!
Allright i know i have posted this in the blackstone forum but it dosn't seem like i can get any help there so now iam trying here .. It might seem like iam at a haste but i want to get my rom finished and this is my last issue before its ready..
I want to replace my start menu icon with one that i have made by myself.. However i can't make this work.. If i open the Shellres.192.dll file with Reshack and navigate to Icon -> 292 and replace the icon with my own one. Save the Shellres.192.dll file and sign it with msigner.. And then finally replace the one in my SYS\Base_DPI_192\Shellres.192.dll\shellres.192.dll file with the newly modified one.. it just shows my old ordinary start menu icon.. :S
What am i doing wrong here ?
Thanks for your support !!

There is a dedicated thread about customizing the taskbar here on xda.
I think you need to add the file including the land code. So you need to add 0409 for English for example.
You can easely check the file on your device before cooking.

hmm i have no idea what iam doing wrong then.. i will try it once again and report back..

Hello,
i had the same problem.
Changed the shellres file in the sys folder, but then I had the original cooked in.
I copied then my own shellres file in the OEM folder at Operator Package.
If i cook the rom, then you get the massage, thet the shellres in SYS folder gets overwritten, by the own one from the OEM folder.
I used bepes kitchen to cook my rom.
For me this works great.
Maybe it helps

Hmm i think that if i do that BuildOS will just give me an error that the file allready exists instead of overwriting ? But should i then delete the one from SYS ?

try icon 293

Hey guys!
Allright i know i have posted this in the blackstone forum but it dosn't seem like i can get any help there so now iam trying here .. It might seem like iam at a haste but i want to get my rom finished and this is my last issue before its ready..
I want to replace my start menu icon with one that i have made by myself.. However i can't make this work.. If i open the Shellres.192.dll file with Reshack and navigate to Icon -> 292 and replace the icon with my own one. Save the Shellres.192.dll file and sign it with msigner.. And then finally replace the one in my SYS\Base_DPI_192\Shellres.192.dll\shellres.192.dll file with the newly modified one.. it just shows my old ordinary start menu icon.. :S
What am i doing wrong here ?
Thanks for your support !!

I've just read your message today, i don't know if it's too late for the answer or not You need to delete all Base_DPI_192\Shellres.192.dll folder (it's a module, the file inside is not really important). Then, copy your new file to Base_DPI_192 to have the new icon!

[REQ] HTC start menu icon

Guys I have seen cabs floating around to change the top bar icons - what I was after is a cab to change the startmenu icon to the HTC logo...
Done the usual search thing to no avail - be great if someone would package up a cab for me.

Bump. I want this too. Just want the HTC logo as start logo. Dont want to change the other top bar icons. Just start logo.
Thanks!

yaa that one i also looking for too...

to change the start logo you have to edit the same dll's as for (some) topbar icons (shellres.192.dll). And since guys who edit this one (me too) also change topbar icons, i'm afraid you've to do yourself if you want start icon only.
See here the tutorial.

Here it is...Coloured Top Bar with HTC Logo.
James

can you please post a picture how this coloured top bar lookks like?
thanks so much..

No to sound ungrateful but can you post only the htc start icon and not the coloured bar too? only want start icon to change and not the other task bar icons.
thanks

OK dudes. Here is JUST the htc logo with instructions :
1. Install Start Menu Certificates
2. Copy shellres.192.dll.0409.mui to your Windows folder.
*** The attached dll is for english version. If you have french for example you have to rename the dll to : shellres.192.dll.040C.mui. If you have other language and don't know your code just do a search in windows folder for some .mui files and see their code.
- code for french : 040C
- code for en : 0409
Be sure to backup if you need to replace the .mui file.

post a screen mate ...
after copying the .mui file, your signal strenght icon is also replaced with what ?
kinda hard to believe.

Hard to believe? I followed the instructions (installed start menu certificates, copied the mui file), and the result is:

it's a left over from a previos installed "coloredtopbar" or smtg. i've never installed one of those, and i don't have this problem.

Coloured Icons for Connectivity Buttons 4 SE Panels

Hi all...
Like u can find a lot of cab files for EXCELLENT TASK BARS WITH COLOURED-ICON for Xperia... Can any one make a cab file which makes ICONS IN CONNECTIVITY BUTTONS IN SE PANELS COLOURED...NOT THE DEFAULT GREYISH BLACK (Coloured WiFi, Bluetooth, Phone, Volume Control Icons) & preferably bright neon type colours.
I think other Xperiancers would love it 2.
Thanks in advance...

its easy dude, just copy the contents to your desktop, change some of the extensions to zip (cant remember which but i did it already) even the clock and weather icons are skinnable
edit the icons with an image editor, replace the files in the compressed folder and rename it

Hi Spikegotti
Can you plz share the coloured-icons which you have made or tell me step-wise how to do it as I CAN NOT DO IT ON MY SELF DUE TO MY LACK OF COMPUTER KNOWLEDGE. Thanks.

hey, i have stock icons, i did not edit anything, well not yet...
like i said, copy the contents from the sony ericsson panel folder to your desktop, change some of the extensions to zip (cant remember which but i did it already), extract the contents from the zip folder and edit them one by one...even the clock and weather icons are skinnable...
just remember to rename the zip folder back to the original extension, maybe later tonight i will leave exact instructions if u still dont understand

Actually they are png's but it depends on what theme your using because they ussually are tagged. for example my startbutton is called Mikenificent_bubble_flag
Bottombar:
Mikenificent_SKBackground
And topbar:
Mikenificent_Taskbar
So what you could do is look for groups of png's in your windows folder and see if one of those is using bubble_flag.png

cheers for that, probs just some trial and error required on my part.

They are NOT Manila File they are clear PNG images files and they don`t have special name.. all depends from the Theme if you create your own Bars and your Own theme you can name the Bars whatever you like.. just need to write in the Theme file the names of the bars to know when you choice this theme to use this PNG`s
The PNG files for the top and bottom bar are the same size they must to be
480x52 thats all
For example the easy why to find some Bars you want in your rom.. is for example you like the Bars of the theme Classic Blue.. then go in windows and copy the Clasic Blue.tsk to your SD card and then via Sync download to your desktop pc.
Open this .TSK file with Wince Cab Manager and you will see the whole theme i mean witch files are used for the Bars and witch are used for the Wallpaper if have wallpaper or any other images depends of the Theme.. when you know how are named this files you can extract them

Hi every one and thanks for sparing time to check my post
If someone could direct me on how can i extract a slider or staus bar from a rom as a cab file i would be thankfull.
I tried looking, but, no use i could not find the answer.

When it says "Can't extract files or build packages from IMGFS structure. Please make sure the ROM is not corrupted, that it's an original ROM update released by the manufacturer and not an user-generated ROM." don't click OK and leave the messagebox open, go in the kitchen Temp folder and search for *.cab files to find them.

The slider is where you can find the icons for home, messages,, facebook, footprints, settings, etc ( the bottom bar where you slide your finger )
the top bar is where the the connection, volume and battery indicator is shown

The taskbar icons are replaced using custom bitmaps and resource dlls some of which set trough registry entries while the manila slider instead is replaced with _manila files so the only thing you can do is finding files by hand and it's actually pretty messy to get them out of a cooked ROM. You can find out some of the file names by taking some cab to customize the taskbar and the slider and converting them to OEM with CAB2OEM so you'll have the destination file names to search in the dump folder of the ROM.
Another trick I can suggest is to sort the files in the ROM dump by date (both creation and last modified) because usually those files are obtained from CABs converted with CAB2OEM and could potentially have similar dates if those have not been stripped by the kitchen.

Thank you for your help
Really appreciate your time replying to my post
I will work on the suggestion.
Best regards
