How to Change Bitmap in Software Keyboard?

All the nordic user wich have åä and ö in there keyboard often uses "scandivaisktastatur5.cab" (se attached file) to replace the orginal software keyboard in a WM6 ROM. Tho its very ugly and has the old WM5 design I would like to change the bmp picture in the dll:s inside the cab. How do I do that? I can extract the Cab file, and replace the bmp file in the dll:s but how do I make a Cab out of it again? I have tried to change the BMP picture inside the dll and then copy the dll file in the windows directory (where the dll files are extracted by the cab file) but that will not work. Can anybody help pleas??

Hi
I have already tried what you suggests with no luck. This is what I did:
1) Extracted the dll from the cab
2) Extracted the bmp from the dll with resource hacker
3) Edited the bmp in Photoshop (see the attachment)
4) Inserted the new bmp into the dll with resource hacker
5) Replaced the original dll in the cab with the new one
6) Installed the cab
...and it did not work. Maybe it has something to do with signing of the dll or something, I don't know. If someone wants to try another shot, feel free to us the attached keyboard skin.

You would have to sign this dll etc, and even then it may not work - if you cook your own rom it might, but have a look at the new app that came out recently to change the Wait cursor. See how that's been signed and the certificates it uses, with an mui file. A similar technique may help here.

Okaj...I did the similar thing.....but i guess that you need sign it with a certificate...I hav watched a little on that maybe making your own root certficate and sign the Dll with it, but it seams to be very complicated :-(

Hi
Thanks for the info Vijay! BTW: I use many of the free tools you have developed for the XDA's! Thanks for the effort!
The wait cursor thing was done on WM5, right? Could we use the same certificates or does WM6 need others?

Hi!
I don't think the German keyboard is excactly the same thing as we try to achieve. the German one installs as an separate SIP. The SkandinaviskTastatur.cab changes the inbuilt default keyboard SIP, but there is definitely possible to learn something from the German one.

change todays theme from an cab file

Hi folks,
i searched trough this forum but did not find a solution for my problem:
i have to generate a .cab file (with OCP-CAb Manager) which can change the todays theme in Windows Mobile 6!.
i found some regkeys are different after changing the todays theme:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today]
"Skin"="\\windows\\mytheme.tsk"
but when i pack those regkeys (including the *.tsk file) in my .cab file ans "install" this cab the theme is not changed as i want to!
the theme is already on the device (windows directory) and can be changed in settings, but is not activatet automatically (as i want it!)
has anybody a hint (or demofile) how to install AND change a todays theme from a .cab file in the nwe WIndows Mobile 6 ?

Look in this article.
You will need to add a setup.dll to your file to do the trick.

TF3D config and .theme files question

This post has 2 questions.
Intro: I have a HTC HD flashed with Dutty's 3.7 XT ROM MSVC. I have used HD tweak as the tweak tool.(I am not sure this is relevant).
1) I downloaded Diamond tf3d config and installed it. I tried running it and get an error as soon as it starts. I tried the standard fixes including deleting the tweaks file as well as ensuring the "PressureThreshold" key is a DWORD. It makes no change, the program still gives an error. Could anyone suggest a fix.
2) I want to use tf3d config only for installation of .theme files. Is there an alternate app to do this? Also I know that i can just extract the .theme file as a zip file into the windows folder and restart touchflo for changes. However how do I remove the theme? I read somewhere that I can just delete the replaced files and the original files will be self re-generated. Is this true?
Please respond.

I Dont Believe That Diamond TF3D Config Functions Properly With New Manila Someone Feel Free To Correct Me If I Am Wrong

Well, now that you mention it I remember that tf3d config worked for the stock rom which has old manilla, and doesn't work with dutty's rom with new manilla which I am now using.
So if I cant use tf3d config does anyone know an alternate way of installing .theme files other than tf3d config.

Yeah I'm interested in alternative ways to install themes aswell, can't get TF3D Config to work at all

Yeah, I finally found out that tf3dconfig does not work with the new manilla. to install the theme, change the file extension of the theme file to zip, extract and replace the contents in the windows folder. Am not too sure how to uninstall.
All this information was found after 4 days of searches in xda. the search function on the site does seem to be strange as I ended up with the relevant result on the last page.

Modification of the On the Road panel for X2

Hi guys, i tried to modified the mui file for the italian language as in the beta panel downloadable from the SE site i found lots of translation errors. I was able to modifiy it with Res Hacker then put back on the cab file. The problem is when i install the panel it says the panel cannot be install because the program dones't have a digital signature with a realible certificate.
And if i install the original and then substitute the mui file in the folder, when i launch the panel it apears in English. Is there a solution for this and be able to make run the modified panel? Sorry guys this is all my knowledge, i'm not able to program or doing more difficult things. Just wanted to try some modifications by myself.
Sorry i forgot to say that it runs on my X1. And the original panel perfectly runs without the activeX or other X2 stuff. Just the translation is terrible

Nobody knows if there is a way to sign the file, as it seems ResHack removes some something on the file when i modify it

Use any signer for wm All work )

Hi, I'm not sure if it works with .mui files, but you can try using this package, which helped me translate some .dll files recently:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432041
It contains Reshack and two small tools for unsigning and signing files.
However, the certificates of the included file have expired so you will have to replace them with the ones from this .zip archive:

Please note that you might have to do your work all over again with a fresh unsigned file. I don't think you can re-sign a file without unsigning it before.
