If you use a file explorer on your phone and navigate to \Windows\Start menu and whatever and go to the folders you want to change the icons in you will see a file called "icon.lnk" simply change where that lnk file points to and you will have a new icon.

just one more question : how to change the icon of sim toolkit service in start menu ?

[Q] Change the order of the apps in the menu

Any way to change the order of the Apps in the menu?
/ I mean it should better to view them by alphabetical order /
I think the order stored in a (text) file. If we could find it, we could able to make an application (for a PC, may java app for the phone) to re-order them, and that application could push back the new file...

Check with sTune for instance folder:
Registry\MainMenu_reg.ini
Here are 10 Pages... each are for 12 Apps... maximum 120 Apps on 10 sites.
Apps have MenuID
Where the ID exact stored, NO idea at the moment... So you have to understand which ID is your App.
As every Page is arranged by
MenuIDx you can find App per count...
First left App on top starts with 0, last right App bottom ends with 11...
Rumours about MainMenu_reg.ini... depend on Firmware Version it is writeprotected.
To sort by alphabet it is easier to do it on handset.
In my opinion.
Best Regards
Edit 1.
See here for some Screenshots:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916940
As example Route 66 the Navigation on ID 53. Now you could copy this 53 to every Position you want.
Edit 2.
sTune is an PC Tool with the Power to change MainMenu_reg.ini and copy back to handset. See last Tab.

First:
We should have explore to find the connection between the ID and the location where the app stored (in memeroy or an SD card)
Next: we have to pair the ID with the application'S info to read the name of the app from the XML
Then we should do the trick to change the IDs in the matrix of the menu
I found that Softkey_reg.ini use the same index number to know which 3 app used on softkeys as you see below:
#Version
Version=1
#Softkey
SKMenuID0=67
SKMenuType0=0
SKMenuID1=69
SKMenuType1=0
SKMenuID2=68
SKMenuType2=0
It should be changed to any ID of an app

On the right bottom corner of the first page of mine menu there is a Flash Torch app. As I found, the app id# is 190. I searched for it, and i found under (where applications installed) in a sys file called Appinfo.sys
Registry/MainMenu_reg.ini:
#Page0 (first page)
..
MenuID11=190
Mount/Mnt/Mmc/Others/[email protected]@[email protected]@__/XYZ/Info/Appinfo.sys:
<Application ID="190" AppId="3w1n2nuqxk" Name="Flash Torch">
The connection is:
(MainMenu_reg.ini).MenuID11 -- > (Appinfo.sys).Apllication ID --> Name

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now somebody should make a java widget, what should read the Name from every Appinfo.SYS, and put them into an array, sort them by the first letters, and put index orders, save the MainMenu_Reg.ini to SD card, then replace it with the fresh new ordered numbers

Power and logout options from Win+X menu

If you use Windows 8, you may miss the options in the Start menu such as shut down, restart, logout, etc. Well, my program brings them back! Once installed, you can click in the bottom left corner of the screen (or use the Win+X keyboard combination), then select Shut down from the menu. This brings up a program with the following options:
Shut down
Sleep
Restart
Sign out
Switch user
Lock

}
Just download it from the link below, extract it to wherever, then run Setup.exe
I have tested it, and I've had a friend test it, and it works. If it doesn't work for you, please tell me, and I will try to help out as best as I can.
UPDATE: Since uploading this, I've tested it on another PC, and the shortcut isn't being created. I am looking into this, but in the meantime, you can install my program, then use WinAero's Win-X Menu Editor to add a shortcut to the menu. You can download the Win-X Menu Editor from here: http://winaero.com/download.php?view.21

Could you please provide some more info on how this works? Hacking the Win+X menu, that's awesome... but please don't just give us an opaque binary that I'm going to have to decompile before I can be sure it won't mess something up (on a system that I can't afford to use as a guinea pig). Either provide some info on how the hack works (as simple as "it modifies registry key [foo]), or the source code, please!

The power options part is just a program I put together in Visual Studio, it's just a form with some buttons. The other program, which puts the shortcut to the power options in the Win+X menu, is something I found in an article on Cnet about customizing Windows 8. No registry entries are modified, it just adds a shortcut to the folder C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX. There's nothing to worry about.

Cool, thanks for the info! That's awesome.

I've stopped working on this as I no longer have any use for it (I'm now using Stardock's Start8). I am still happy to answer any questions and may provide the original files if requested.

[LOGOS] Statusbar/Carrier Logos for ViperOne 1.0.0+

Hey Everyone,
I thought seeing as the new Viper ROM for the One is taking off, I'd add a little something to it for you guys. A collection of Operator logos for your statusbar, to add a splash of colour. If your logo is not visible in the HUB, but you would like to see it added leave a post and I will attempt to add it. As a backup, in case the HUB server is down, all images will still be available through the mirror links below. (NOTE:. I will not be uploading images to this post. You can find all images in the venom HUB once a request has been filled, or in the Mirror posted below).
I know these images work with all Viper ROMs for all devices (One/One X/Sensation etc.) as I have tested them myself.
Requests are always welcome! I don't know all the brands out there, nor do I claim to, so let me know the network you're on and I'll see if I can edit a logo for you. Links to image searches are always appreciated!
Automatic Installation:
Enter the Venom HUB-> Statusbar/Operator Logos-> Select the logo of choice->????-> PROFIT!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To remove any logo that was selected, follow the Manual Installation method below, but leave the option unticked (it will become automatically ticked from when you selected a logo in the HUB).
Manual Installation:
Simply click the mirror link below, save the folder or image to your SD-card, then in settings:
Operator Logos:
Venom tweaks -> 'Status' tab -> Choose carrier label -> Show carrier icon -> Pick from your gallery. Easy as pie!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Statusbar Logos:
Venom tweaks -> 'Status' tab -> Status bar icon -> Pick from your gallery. Easy as pie!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
DISCLAIMER: I own no rights to any of these logos, nor do I want to. They belong to their respective companies. I am not looking to misrepresent any operator or company, nor alter the logo for the intention of misrepresentation.
MIRROR LINKS:

I have been granted permission to upload Statusbar/Carrier logos that are not in the HUB. This permission was granted by m0narx, creator of Team Venom..

I'm currently working my way through fixing the logos currently available in the HUB. They were initially upscaled from low res versions for older devices and consequently aspect ratios were all screwed up. I will aim to try fix this asap with proper high res versions and names.
Thank you for your patience.

Can u add a Statusbar Icon for the Car Manufacturer Audi pls?

request from overseas..
Can I make a request for my local carrier "IT&E" Guam?
Thanks, I didn't know a thread for this existed.

You are welcome

Some instruction to flash these will be appreciated...
some ppl may wonder if these are flashables or if we need to copy/paste/rename em...
Like this in iElvie's thread:
How to Install
These are not flashable in recovery.
You need a file explorer with root access. I use ES File Explorer, which is free and easy to use. Make sure that /system is mounted r/w.
Navigate to /system/customize/resource and look for zip files with "animation" or "boot" in the name. Those are your animations. They should be bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip in ARHD.
Rename each file by adding .bak to the filename. This will preserve your originals.
Copy the new animations to this folder and rename with the correct filenames per the third step.
Change permissions on each file to rw-r-r. In ES File Explorer, you do this by selecting the file, then More>Properties and tapping Change in the permissions line. This will bring up a dialog. Uncheck the Execute column and Group and Other in the Write column. Then click OK and Cancel in the previous window (this won't cancel what you just did).

I'd like to try these out but it seems the preview gifs aren't showing up.
Can you upload the previews again?
Thanks!

please preview.....

it's almost been a year but could we see the previews?

Hi guys
Please, someone can help me to find a splash screen LL "white" background?
Thanks
