i have the 8125/wizard.. was wondering if its possible to create a cab that will delete shortcuts... here is what i am trying to do.. I would like to take all the pocket app's like excel and word, etc and delete or move the shortcuts from the programs menu and put them in nice and neat little folder in the programs menu! any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cab files can't delete or move shortcuts, only create them. If you can program in c / c++ you can easily create a setup.dll for the cab that will do it.

You still need the use of a manila editor.
And he asked if there was a cab for it without using a manila editor
Nope, Manila Editor is the only way. Unless you use someone else background: in this case you could have a simplc cab
excuse me I don't understand.."Unless you use someone else background" what does it mean? ...if I set the same background of the home page it works?

It means that you don't have to use Manila Editor only if i give you the background i have done for me (so you don't use editor because I have used editor ). See your pm

Here there are simply instructions to do that.
guys you just have to copy two files to windows directory and you need .cab ??
you may try as well already done theme with alltab background
use search option or try my theme
I'm using Dutty's 2.3 Xtreme ROM. The startmenu is based on the Rhodium roms (looks like the program tab, but with nicer icons ). However, the good-looking icons are only those that came with the rom, for example WMPlayer, settings, file explorer, etc. When you add a shortcut from lets say TomTom, it looks all crap with jagged edges. It's seems the iconholder upscales the icon or something so it's no longer at it's native resolution. I would like to be able to change the icon used for a certain shortcut myself to perhaps a higher resolution alternative.
It seems the used icon is controlled bij strings in HKLM\software\HTC\Manila. The string's name is the .exe used in the shortcut. It contains a file location to \windows\MPI_xxx.qct (\windows\MPI_wmplayer.qct, \windows\MPI_camera.qct, etc.). I know this, because when I change the path in lets say the wmplayer.exe string to that of the file explorer MPI file, the icon changes in the start menu. However, when I make a new string with a stringname for tomtom (tomtom navigator.exe) and make it's value the same as the fileexplorer, nothing happens...
So... help? I don't know what to try next due to my limited knowledge on the subject. Who can help me devise a way to use custom icons in the new startmenu?
You have to use the full path, not just the file name. Also, you have to use quotes.
For example: I wanted Resco File Explorer to use HTC's explorer icon, so I created a new string with the name:
"\Program Files\Resco Explorer\Explorer.exe" (quotes included)
And value:
\windows\MPI_fexplorer.qtc (no quotes here)

Yes... Thanks! Can I use it in WM 6.5? Just want to know because I dont want to do a hard reset when I fail.
I change my program icon directly in the program.exe file. this way both from startmenu and programs show the new icons. use resource hack to do it. you can also hack into the installation cab and change it there. so every time you change rom and reinstall, the new icon is there. just my way......need helpon that you can pm me

No for WM6.5 start menu icons look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507299 and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481379 hope that helps!
Thanks for help and advice m6silver. I appreciate all your help because Im not very good when it comes to customizing icons.
Thanks for the links gfreek... It's working great and Im also using your WM6.5 Medium size and Wm 6.5 Extra Start for Folders. Thanks to you for that nice and easy to install cabs.
Now my only problem is the icons in Manila "Program" I want to change it to High Quality Icons.
I think I'm not the only one who use java apps on the phone. But accessing these apps is not user friendly. As we can see with Palringo, it is possible to start java apps by an icon instead of scrolling throuh all java apps. Can we somehow implement this for all (or for selected) java apps not just the IM? This would greatly increase the usability.
Any ideas?

Good Question...
T-Mobile Branding uses also thier JAVA Midlet Navi in the menu and 1,2 other things...
Maybe step 1 would be. If we can replace Palringo with other Midlet.
As it is in Hidden Games folder...
At the moment I have 0 ideas how this work... as Icons are stored somewhere else.
And NOT loaded from JAVA folder...
I tried several things, but no success.
Best Regards
Well, IMO more importantly we should be able to put app shortcuts on the homescreen :\
Maybe other direction...
Apps start from JAVA menu.
Tumbling Dice is internal App.
Asphalt5 is prepared, but not activated...
Asphalt5 is for instance prepared but not activated in KJxLinkDisplayOrder.ini:
#LINK_INFO
LinkCount=2
#Link_1
link_name=Tumbling Dice
link_order=1
#Link_2
link_name=Asphalt5
link_order=2
I've added only Icon and tried to edit OapinGameList.ini...
In Firmware with Branding, there are enough examples with JAVA Midlets in menu. But still same problem, where are the Setting files?
Maybe we find for both an solution.
Best Regards
For JAVA Midlets on Main menu.
Part 1 seems to be:
KJxDispatch.ini
#Palringo
class=com.paxmodept.palringo.main.jme.JmeMain
vendor=Palringo
name=Palringo
Class we can find in *.jad
At the moment I try to replace Palringo with something else... frome T-Mobile.
Other test failed as no icon was created...
Best Regards
hey Guys! I'am from Poland and on polish forum we are trying to add java icons in menu too... My idea was to "tell" the Dolphin browser to "run" some java application. It is simple hack to do this: You have to add bookmark in Dolphin, call it, write the address to *.jar file (in my guide : file:///Mount/Mmc/Others/Opera/opera.jar) and it's IMPORTANT: activate third option, it's adding bookmark to main menu. But this idea is very imperfect - after clicking on main menu icon, you must install this midlet all the time This is because "hack" tells the browser to run NOT the application, but INSTALL file (*.jar). That's why You have to install Opera always after clicking on it. At this time we can't solve this otherwise. I give You link bo polish "bada-world" forum. At first post, there's my quick guide. Of course, you have to login, to see it. Probably You have to use Google Translator, or if someone of You knows Polish perfectly, it would be so nice
Code:
h ttp://tnij.org/bada_guide
(please remove the space after "h", I have no permissions to use outside links )
BTW, sorry for my english, but I hope You understand me Maybe with common powers, We will add java icons to menu!
Regards,
wxtester
@wxtester
re-installing opera and other apps will erase bookmarks and such things right?
If you want to use java on the desktop or the menu, it's not possible.
On the desktop you can just add flash files (and widgets).
On the menu, you can only add applis icons.
What you can do it's add the link of games and other on the main desktop to have a quick acces.
After you can add java applications.
You need to modify KJxDisplayOrder.ini file.
#DEFAULT_INFO
Count=1
#Midlet_1
name=DoodleJump
class=Doodle
fixed=1
order=1

no, it don't. You will still have access to your favourite sites and bookmarks, it won't be deleted. It You want to be sure, please reinstall from Your jar file, not mine!
lasentenza, on your screenshot I see that U have access to internal filesystem by Windows default filemanager (explorer.exe). Is it any plugin to see it without any program like sTune?
BTW, I don't understand Your tutorial Your idea is to add icon "Games and more" to desktop (next to widgets)? Why you talk about Java application "DoodleJump"? I don't understand Can you explain it simpler?
Thanks in advance

same problem...
I do not have acces to filesystem, the files you see is FFS dumped files.
Perhaps I don't understand.
I thought you wanted to add java apps on the desktop?
Doodlejump is to show that we can add java apps on game and more, in a custom firmware.

Is it similar to normal installing from java file?
So, finally there's no way to add java apps to Main Menu?
@ latenza..
I want link java app on the main desktop or on menu to have a quick acces...
I think it's not possible.
The java application are only available from game and more.
The only link you can add to the menu or the desktop are widkets, applications or flash (like calendar, dualclock, email etc)... Or maybe I don't find the way

There are very many programs that create a shortcut on the home screen.
Create a file with the syntax of an html file, and in it your link. For example, in Total Commander, select the prepared html file to put on the home screen by choosing a web browser to open the file.
