New Commands To access Icon files in Systemroot - KIN Two Software Development

Read my erlier post on this for more info on how I found it, but heres my new commands I have found. I have tried them and they seem to work for me. I want someone else to try them also and see if they work for them.
Commands:
1. %systemroot%\system32\wpd_ci.dll,-100
Im looking into more and I will post when I get them. Let me know what you see if/when you try this commands! Also go into the phones Browser to do this.

whats this supposed to do?

Honestly I am not sure Im going to do a further search and test of commands like this. The string though and the fact that when you put it in your browser it actually pulls something up that isnt a webpage is rather puzzeling because I get a blank screen.

hmm... yeah it's a little strange that it doesn't bing it like it does other stuff. my first thought was that the string was too long or had invalid characters but it just bings everything else.
how exactly did you find this?

Here's step by step:
1.Plug in kin to a windows 7 PC.
2.open devices and printers.
3.open kin properties.
4.open advanced.
5.scroll down the list of info and file pathes.

I approve this stuff.
Unfortunately, i have not my kin beside me atm, so i cannot have a peek right now (doh!).
Hoping that we would be able to figure out new stuff.
I would want to read from the samsung memory chip too, but that's outta my reach for now hehehehe.

I can possibly look into the Samsung chip...Awesome find though huh? Glad I tore apart my old one

I have been looking for more in the windows device center without much luck I have a couple other ideas since this things commands seem to be like windows. im going to try %appdata% and others like it when i can.

It isnt a command, sillies.
%systemroot%\system32\wpd_ci.dll,-100 is not a command.
its an icon file path.
%systemroot% looks in the system root folder (Windows)
system32 looks in the folder "system32"
wpd_ci.dll is the dll containing the icon and when you add ,-100
wpd_ci.dll,-100 tells it to grab the icon id-ed as 100 from the dll file wpd_ci.dll
also, just because it has 100 does not mean there are 100 icons in the file. 100 is the icon ID.
example: %SystemRoot%\system32\wpdshext.dll,-701
in wpdshext.dll there is not 701 icons, but only about 9 or 10. BUT, the 701 reffers to a specific icon id-ed as 701 in that file.
UPDATE:
here are images that demonstrate my point. (must rebuild links)
this shows that in wpd_ci.dll there is only 1 icon, so we can assume its id is 100 as referred to by the ,-100.
i.imgur com/7UtnG.jpg
this second image shows that the icon it referred to is used for the device icon with device manager, because, as you can see in the image, my kin shows up in device manager with the icon.

This is old. So old it was from when I was still a semi-noob on XDA. I haven't even been on the Kin forums in over a year. We arent getting anywhere with this phone unfortunately. I'm just watching and waiting for a breakthrough, then I might get back in on this.

Will Donate For Answer!!!

Hey guys, I think I posted this in the wrong forum yesterday, so I figured it may help to be more specific to my device. Let me say, I will donate 50 dollars to the first person that can help me with this. And I have literally read every spec of information on the PPCgeeks Kitchen and each individual ROM, and not seen anyone else post this problem. So I'm pretty much begging for the answer now.
I have tried to use the vogue kitchen from ppcgeeks for a week now. I installed it, and ran the updater. Just to clear it up, I've re-installed it almost ten times now, and still get the same problem.
Anyway, after I bring up the program, it brings up the window to choose which ROM selection I want to use. I've tried three different ones , from three different people, with and without GPS, and no help. When I choose which one I want, It brings up the list to make my selections. I go thru and choose the boot screens, and then the apps I want (I've even tried almost every possible combination of apps to see if that would help), then I click the Icon in the toolbar that starts the ROM build.
After I start the build it brings up the window to make donations, then the window that shows the build progress. It goes through a bunch of stuff like scanning files, and creating things I know nothing about. Then it pops up an error message at the same spot every time. It says that it can't find a folder , and wont go any further. The folder it asks for is located in:::
"My Computer/ C drive/ Document & Settings/ "my user name"/Application Data/ hIq INC "
The folder it asks for ends in .layout or something very close to that.
Like I said though, I've tried every single thing I can do! Re-Installation, New downloads, everything possible. Guys, I've literally read everything on this program, and never found this before. So IM BEGGING FOR YOUR HELP. I will donate like I said, 50 dollars to the first person to help me fix this. If it's a file Im missing could you post it, or even if it's a step Im missing, I dont care! ILL DONATE THE SECOND I GET THE HELP!! So please guys, help me out!!!!
Reproduce the behavior, take a screenshot of the error message you are describing and attach the screenshot to a reply.
Also, with the screenshot of the error, indicate the operating system, version and the account on the computer security rights (i.e. Windows XP service pack 2 Administrator -or- Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 Power User).
There has got to be a reason behind the error.
remember that wqhen you are selecting the oem apps to have on the new rom build make sure you are paying attention to the colors if you select something and it is shaded yellow it means it needs something else selected first so that it can work and so forth

hmm thats sort of strange. are you sure that you have everything that you need all in the same folder on the same drive? ie if you have it in c:\program files\ppckitchen.org\buildos, then be sure to have your selections as well as your oems/kitchens/etc all in that same folder too. make sure you have only one buildos folder and that everything is located there and that you are running it from there only. i know that sounds dumb, but i had an issue with it and...thought i might as well throw it out there.
keep us posted/updated!
p.s. which drive do you have it on, and which os are you on/using?
TWEAKMAN
Hey fellas, thanks for the help, but I've give up. Ive tried everything. Tiermann, you all, ppcgeeks, everyone has helped, and nothing will work. It keeps asking for the same file with ANY COMBO of apps. 1 , 10, even when I try it with no apps selected. I've tried every rom selection I can find. I'm just going to try it on a different computer when I get a chance. But it doesn't make sense. I have a wicked pc. So im not sure. But thanks to everyone who has spent time helping out here. I will try again with a dif pc, but I'm going to keep messin with this till I find the cause. That way if it happens to someone else, then we can help them. But again, thanks guys.

Vista or XP?, which Service Pack

How to get these.....

Alright I have loaded ROM's onto my phone but I am still pretty new to this, I am wondering if anyone can take the time to walk me through of how to get Home Screen's like these (the first one and the red one on PG1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378000
Thank you very much for any help you are willing to give.
P.S. what ever help I get I will be more then happy to give to other begginner's.
The big clock is called HTC Home and that's fairly easy to find, just make a simple search for it. The tray on the bottom looks like PHM Trays which you can get from PHM Tools.

Did you bother reading the thread or are you the type to look at pics and ask for help, right off the bat?
Actually I did take the time to read a lot of the post's but as I said in my first post I am pretty new to this stuff and a lot of the talk was quite confusing to me because of the short form's and such so program's and stuff like that.
Like I said before, I am just looking to see if some one has the time to help me, not looking for people to chirp about how new I am and such. Thank you.

Alright so I have read the first like 11 pages and no where in there have I found how to get those 2 Home Screen's running on my Dash?
Please help
As for the Red Carousel theme....go here.
Download the needed cabs in the bottom of his first post and read his install instructions.
As for the HTC home, if you READ where to get it from its in his first thread also...
- HTC Home
http://depositfiles.com/en/files/3306160
Download that cab.
Once you've downloaded the cabs...you transfer them to your phone using Active sync. Place them in your documents folder. Using your phone Resco Explorer program direct yourself to the My Documents folder and click on the cabs to install them.
If asked where to install them, pick Main memory (phone itself) not the memory card.
DO NOT UNZIP or UNRAR the CAB files.
After the cabs are installed. REBOOT.
Once rebooted, Click on start->settings->Home Screen->Home screen layout
Once there, choose which home screen...you'd like to have.
Done
Thank you for the help, I have one question though, I downloaded the courosel theme and unzipped it to a folder and then I copied to my from through My Computer (I'm not sure if that matter's?) but when I selected the Courosel theme in Home Screen, the text messages and voicemail stuff look's all messed up? Is that because I unzipped the file?
Another question came up....
I dled the LCD clock and unzipped it, copied the folder to my phone and then went to Resco Explorer and clicked the Setup.xml and it did a bunch of stuff, I thought it installed but then when I rebooted my phone nothing happened?
DO NOT UNZIP or UNRAR the CAB files.
Jesus man
the lcd plugin is a CAB
If you need help anymore this member (Gixxum) is the man to go to.
Alright thank you very much, I didn't realize that that was a cab file since I have never worked with a cab before.
I installed the cab. and got a message saying that I may need an older version of WM?
I then rebooted and the LCD clock was not there?
I couldnt edit again so I has to do another post, the problem I was having was just that I didn't go to the background image and change it to courosol.
thank you.

No matter how big or what colors we use people seriously have selective reading. lol

Thanks everyone.
alright I have one more question and I thought I would post it here instead of opening another thread. When I am using txt messaging and I sent a txt (I will use this as an example) at 8:01 PM and some one sends me a txt back in the same minute it will say that they replyed at 7:01 PM. It always says one hour earlier for replys? I have searched through options but I cannot seem to find where to change it?
Thank you ahead of time.
Are you sure your time is right? Go to settings --clock & alarm-- and scroll to where on earth you are. Do a reset try that.
I checked the times man and NOTHING! this is kind of brutal, it's not like it's a huge problem but it's just ******* frustrating, any ideas guys?
Whats the time difference on the clock?

Excalibur in 96 DPI: Finally A Semi-Working Solution (Testing Purposes Only)

Hello Guys,
Finally, we have an almost working solution. A member has posted a .cab that changes your DPI from 131 to 96 DPI.
It works ! I have personally tested it myself. However, it still needs work done.
This looks great but it still needs some minor work done. If I do come across any solutions, I will keep you guys posted. If you guys come across anything, please post here so we can figure this one out.
Setup Instructions:
1) Run the WM6.1-131to96dpi.CAB file
2) when it asks for you to restart, do not restart.
3) Click Start, Accessories and run Command Processor, and click the "..." button.
4) Go to Menu, Browse Folder, and select the folder where you put the dpi.ccs file.
5) Now you will see the dpi file, and then go ahead and run it.
6) Wait for it go back to the homescreen and then reboot your phone.
Uninstall Instructions:
1) Start > Settings > Remove Programs
2) Select .CAB (131 to 96 dpi)
3) Click Remove Program
---------
Issues:
1) Programs in storage card - do not run OR files are missing
2) Rinku's Iconbar is slightly cut off from the bottom
3) Smart tool kits "start" button is misaligned
4) Wallpaper is slightly cut off from the bottom
5) NRG Miniweather - Date & Day are not properly aligned either
6) Pocket Nester Plus not working (maybe due to ROMs stored on storage card)
ATTENTION: PROGRAMS ON SD CARD ARE NOT WORKING, NOR ARE MY IMAGES FOR MYFAVES SHOWING UP. HOWEVER, STORAGE CARD SEEMS TO WORK.I UNINSTALLED IT AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE.
I am posting screenshots for you guys and I have attached the .zip (which includes .cab and dpi.ccs) for you to download. The experts out there, use this as foundation and see if you can fix it for our phones.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER: USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. FOR NOW, THIS IS STRICTLY FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE OR ERASE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR DEVICE.
Credit goes to falleny for posting this .cab and pudgedaddy for instructions on how to fix dpi.ccs - Great Job!
Best Regards,
lukybandit
thanks for your updated screenshot...
try to delete lcd.ttf and plumsip5.dll from your windows folder
if it still have problem, i may ask the guy who make this cab
pudgedaddy said:
One thing i have a question with is how does this behave when using PIE or Opera Mobile or Opera Mini? or other applications such as games ?
Secondly, now un-installable is this app? If it's not something i want to use at this point, am i at the point of no return without hard-reset?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i can sure this is safe and uninstallable...have a try, if u don't like it...just uninstall it...from your setting menu
aiight it works fine...if u have LCD installed and use medium or larger format in Opera it won't look right. and yea...other than that...seems to be working fine...another note.
dpi.css.zip has to be renamed to dpi.css and then in CeleCMD you have to make it so it can see all files then u can run dpi.css...at least that is what i did. and all works fine.
edit: Or that.
works great...few issues...the messaging icons are a bit messed up...in celetask the 'reboot, shutdown, etc' icons are a bit messed up...hmmm...picture viewer is acting funny....and i cant access folders on my storage card just the storage card itself.
What's the purpose of lowering the dpi?
Please Check Post 1
I have fixed the dpi file by renaming dpi.css to dpi.ccs as well as unzipped it into the ZIP folder in first post. Thank you pudge for the instructions
Now you can follow the instructions and it should work as shown but there are still some minor issues except one being major that is SD programs are not working. I don't know how to fix this. If anyone comes across any fixes, please post here.
another issue...PocketNesterPlus not working (ROMS are stored on storage card so that may be the issue) get :
Error
_____________________
can not open or Mapper not supported
Thank you, and thanks to everyone that worked on this. I have been waiting for this for a while.
I was going to install it earlier today but i was getting a corrupt message from the dpi.css; Im glad you updated it very quickly.
If anyone is running Rickywatts vanilla ROM, you can find the command processor in "My Tools". Just a heads up.
Dang it, that sucks cause I got guitar hero three on my SD card... What the heck...
this is a great day thank you for your hard work. I tried this myself but my WM kung-fu is lacking anyone else?
First of all, thanks to all the developers and researchers responsible for making this happen.
Second, I'm getting the following error when I try to Install the cab (I open the cab, the progress bar goes all the way 'till its end the this is displayed):
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions".
Is anybody else getting the same error and/or knows what should I do to get past it? I really want to try this...
BTW, my excalibur is app unlocked already (surreal networks app used).
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
I really like the way this looks, but is there anything i can do to make the text a bit bigger?
Im running WM6.1 and the small text is somewhat hard to read.
Sorry guys if this is a repitive question, but what is the purpose of lowering the dpi? I have read post one Lukybandit, but it doesn't say what the benefit is.
Would someone mind posting a few reasons why this mod is desired?
Thanks.

Although i personally wouldn't recommend installing this at the moment ( issues with the storage card and alignment issues)
basically this works similarly to increasing your screen resolution on your PC.(minus the actual resolution changing) meaning it fits more stuff on your devices display since it shrinks down what is placed on your screen.

Hey,
Sorry, that post wasn't directed at you.
The only benefit I can see from this is what pudgedaddy said. By lowering the dpi, you are able to fit more things onto the screen and i guess it looks cleaner. Like that of a pc. I hope that answers your question.
That's great. Appreciate the info. Sounds like a fun mod. Will give it a try when you guys say it's ready .
man - great find. this would be so awesome if we can get the storage card isue working. the extra screen real estate is great for contacts, texts, damn near everything.
works as advertised and uninstalls perfectly.
Anyone have any progress with any of the issues? So far, I haven't been able to dig into it.
This thread is especially for people who showed deep interest in this project. I suggest you start testing, post feedback and try and find solutions since this has been made possible for those who wanted this.
Good Luck and Keep Us Posted.

Hi!
I'm willing to test it, but i can´t get around the problem i posted before:
"I'm getting the following error when I try to Install the cab (I open the cab, the progress bar goes all the way 'till its end the this is displayed):
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions".
I've already checked my phone's registry for any lock on the policies, but it's effectively unlocked, and other cabs/apps signed and unsigned install without any problem... BTW, I'm using Ricky's wm6.1 v23 ROM...
Can someone give me some help on this? I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance and cheers.

[GUIDE] An easy way to convert .PNG to .raw565 for custom boot image [Windows]

So today I really wanted to make a custom boot image for my phone. I looked on the wiki, lo and behold, the piece seems to have a complex side to it for some. Maybe it's easy for some, but difficult for others. Well, I was one that had difficulty.
I don't have a linux setup, so I attempted to use a Virtual Machine to run it. SUCCESS!!!...but wait...ImageMagick is being a pain. (I swear to god I have never been so frustrated in my life) I spent hours trying to get it to work, but failed in the end. So I researched new ways of converting my PNG into a .raw and then a .raw565/.rgb565. I searched the forums, tediously, but to no avail. Well I found something that all windows users can look forward to. It's a very simple 1 step conversion of a PNG to a rgb565/raw565 file.
For those who are interested, here are the steps:
Things you'll need:
Paint.net (a simple image editing program) Download here
rgb565.dll (can be found on the same website, i'd suggest getting the self extractor) Download here
Fastboot (you can get this with the Android SDK) Download here (setup can be found in the wiki or in places around the forum)
Steps:
1. First you want to create your picture. It must be 320x480 resolution, and saved as a .PNG file. (Use your favorite picture editing tool. Photoshop, GIMP, Paint.net, etc.) Name the picture Splash
2. Once you have your PNG picture made and in the correct resolution, load your picture in Paint.Net.
3. After the picture is loaded, go to File --> Save as.... Name your picture Splash and change the file type to rgb565/raw565 and save to your desktop.
4. Find your picture on your desktop, right click it and click Properties. IMPORTANT!!! Make sure the picture file size is 307200 bytes exactly. (If it is not, you could end up damaging your phone, so DOUBLE CHECK).
5. Make sure you have the Android SDK set up with the latest USB drivers.
6. Put your picture into the same folder as your fastboot. (android-sdk-windows --> tools).
7. Once you reach this step, connect your phone through USB, and load your SPL. (Turn off phone. Hold the camera button + power button). Ensure the text on screen says Fastboot. If it doesn't, push the Back button to refresh it.
8. After your phone is connected and ready to use fastboot, Open your command prompt (cmd. Start --> run --> cmd). Type fastboot devices. Make sure your device number appears there. This will tell you if your computer is reading that your phone is connected to fastboot.
9. Make sure the path the command prompt is going to, is your SDK/tools folder. (cd android-sdk-windows --> cd tools).
10. Once your command line is aimed at the SDK tools folder (This is the location of your picture remember?), type the following:
fastboot flash splash1 Splash.rgb565 (if it's raw565 type that. the extension wont matter as long as it's the right format.)
fastboot reboot
NOTE: If your fastboot hangs while trying to put the new boot image on, remove the battery, and reload the phone's fastboot and try again. (this happened to me, and after doing this it worked)
Well there you have it. After completing these steps your new boot image should appear. I hope this helped the windows users out there (I know after figuring this out, it helped me a lot.)
If there are any Questions, please post them, I'll do my best to answer them.
Thank you and Enjoy.

Yeah dude don't worry it happens =/...
not really concerned about responses, as much as, Is it helping.
I just hope it helps people ^^
You do realize there is a convert to g1 program, that allows you to select your picture, and then to convert it, all with just 3 clicks of the mouse....so your method is pointless lol.
Fair enough on the little program that's available. Didn't realize the 3000 thing could convert.
Also my method isn't pointless. It is an accurate and usable method.
What you deem as better or worse, does not make it absolute.
If others choose to use this or the program, both options are there for people to choose.
I can't say I appreciate your prudish viewpoint, but thanks for the heads up...
Here ya go:

Ok, let me rephrase it. There is the easy way (with the program that everyone has been using for a while) and the hard way (your drawn out method).

See, in my OP, I stated that I searched a lot of places in the forums looking for a method, and didn't find one. So can't blame me for trying to help after finding a method that isn't pre-programmed. I was certainly proud of myself >.>;

Yes, blunt smugness, because you reinvented the wheel, and did a worse job. Had you searched correctly you would have found the link that Jag posted above. So as much as you would like to sound like you're some god, laughing at my impotence, you complained about people not reading your thread and giving feedback. Why? Oh yeah, you were trying to teach people a longer way of going about a simple task.
Anyways, now you know about it, and I'll leave you back to your post. Enjoy!

Well I'm sorry you feel that way. In my post about the no replies, I stated that I was worried because there were so many views and no comments. It wasn't a complaint. Your angry criticism is only making this worse. Had you acted more mature in the matter, rather then trying to tell me off because you let your own bias rule you, it probably wouldn't have gotten to this point making you so upset.
I personally find you hilarious. You get so worked up over such a trivial matter. Let it rest, you made your statement.
IF AN ADMIN WOULD, COULD MY THREAD PLEASE BE LOCKED? It seems it is a useless thread and has only brought complaints. My apologies to those that feel...angry. I pity you.

You do realize there is a convert to g1 program, that allows you to select your picture, and then to convert it, all with just 3 clicks of the mouse....so your method is pointless lol.

True, but the three other tutorials for that all have included the outdated "fastboot.exe" that doesnt work with the new drivers... and it took me while to figure that out, [noob syndrome] because they all only had instructions on how to work with the files they provided, for older drivers.
I may put together a tutorial including the easy picture conversion of the other tutorials and this version of the easy flashing of the new splash using the SDK tools you already have.

Cant transfer files

So... I can see all files when my GNex is in Android... But when I try to drag and drop... I get a little symbol with an X... So it wont let me copy the files over. Any solutions to this?
I was also wondering..
Mobilicity Phone, Rooted...
Thinking about putting this Rom on... (mind transfering files would make it easier)
http://www.teambamf.net/topic/3212-rom-bamf-paradigm-v21-411-jro03h-galaxy-nexus/
Any problems you think, I heard it MAY only be for Verizon, but I thought, If i DL the Maguro version, I would be Okay...?
I tried DL and installing a JB rom (looked official) google 10 Rom from Rom manager, and got stuck in a bootloop earlier, so I wanted some opinions on this....before I have to try to redo my backup file again

Are you sure?
Minimize your windows...and see if any "This device may not be able to play this file...transfer anyway?" (or similar) pop-ups are showing.
That's gotten me once before.

Personally I find transferring files via MTP/PTP is rather buggy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it hangs my file manager. I use adb for transfer. Not as convenient as drag & drop, but always works.

I've been getting this pop up. Does this mean there are definitely going to be issues with my files? Or a probability?
The reason I asked is because I recently messed something up by having two download folders (download / Download) and made things very wonky. I've reformatted my virtual SD, and am copying things back over with Win 7 x64. It's kind of driving me nuts discovering things suddenly can't be deleted/moved/etc. Even after I resolved the download issue, I then found the Nook folder that the Gnex toolkit backed up was suffering from this problem.
So right now, I'm just moving my essential things back (pictures, Tibu backups, various apks to install later) and I'm going to check again.
dont use toolkits.
and /sdcard/download is not the same folder as /sdcard/Download.

1) It generally seems to work. It's a pretty well ranked thread, is there a flaw that I'm not aware of? Or are you just opposed to them? I love learning the nitty gritty on how things work but I also believe in streamlining and making things more efficient. That's what machines are for. I look at this way: I know cars. I've studied them and worked on them for many years. Had jobs doing it. So with basic things like oil changes, I've done them for so long and so many times that it's no longer fun or a learning experience. It's just tedious. At this point, I'd rather pay people I trust to just do it for me than spend the time doing it, collecting the used oil, dropping the used oil off at a participating collection facility, changing clothes, showering, etc. And I get a free car wash if I pay my old work to do it.
2) The creation of two separately cased download folders sure as hell kicked off a chain of frustrating events and the most succinct advice I received to remedy the issue was "flash back to stock image". I never had the two directories before and based on my research, Android by default looks at directories in a case-insensitive way. And so does my Win PC so...
If you can provide any more insight or help, it would appreciated.
BTW, I have toro.

1- if something goes wrong, no one knows what happened, what command failed, etc; using commands like google instructs you allows for better troubleshooting when issues arise;
2- android is not case-insensitive, like linux; windows is. that's your problem right there, windows.

And what about that pop up I get on windows about how my device may not play the file? This is when dragging and dropping via explorer. Is that just a warning prompt, or is something actually going to happen? The files seem to be playing fine, everything seems back to normal (as I can now move/delete/modify files and directories).
Well I am having some audio issues but that seems strictly related to an audio mod I just installed...
