it does, just soft reset the device everytime you change the skin
How to change the phone skin manually
You can manually change the phone skin by overwriting the following files located on the \Windows folder of the Pocket PC Phone Edition device:
clg_dlrbtn.gif
clg_dlrbtnd.gif
clg_in.gif
clg_miss.gif
clg_out.gif
dlr.gif
dlrclr.gif
dlrclrd.gif
ending_dlrbtn.gif
end_dlrbtn.gif
end_dlrbtnd.gif
hld_dlrbtn.gif
hld_dlrbtnd.gif
snd_dlrbtn.gif
snd_dlrbtnd.gif
spd_dlrbtn.gif

Just download a phone skin and copy the above files to your Pocket PC. Then reboot the Pocket PC to activate the new skin.
Re: How to change the phone skin manually
One additional piece of information: there is no .gif for a depressed number button. For unknown reasons, this image is stored as an icon resource inside a DLL.
I made DLLs with that icon for the "Candy Red" and the "Wood and Chrome" DesignLabs skins. These DLLs can be downloaded from http://www.tadzio.com/ppc/skins/TapResCandyRed.dll and http://www.tadzio.com/ppc/skins/TapResWoodAndChrome.dll , respectively. If you wan to create your own, take one of the above as a template, then edit it in a resource editor (VC++ works nicely).
To install such a DLL, copy it to the \Windows directory on your PPC, then change the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone\IcoFil to the name of your DLL, and perform a soft reset.
Have fun!

use a resource editor .. heres the site so you can choose app ..
http://protools.reverse-engineering.net/utilities.htm
i suggest the Borland resource Workshop .. just dont know if it still there .. o compatible with winxpsp2
exescope is also great .. but a shareware
PS always make a backup of a dll .. sometimes .. resource editor causes the dll to be corrupted ..
help!
okay i am using the resource hacker but i cant change anything or edit the image! help!
there has to be an easier way!

hi S1MB4D ..
some of the resouce editor only replaces or added the bitmap or image file use in the dll or exe, and it doesnt entirely create nor edit the image.. like the Resource hacker by Angus Johnson
thats why im suggesting the Borland Resource Workshop since it has that capabilities .. but since www.inprise.com no longer exist .. you can only use a resource editor that has that limitation .. to edit the image u will have to use an image editor like the windows paint or adobe photoshop .. or if it is an icon then an icon editor .. then replace the one included in the dll .. using the resource editor ..
but if you want to edit only the icon in an exe or dll for example the tapres.dll like the one above you can use an icon editor that can extract and automatically replaces the icon included in the dll or exe like in this link ..

WM 6.5 Start Menu Icons

Is there any way to change from the hex icon layout on the start menu and sub folders in WM6.5 to a non-hex layout (ie: so they all line up horizontally and vertically)? I don't really care for the hex layout
Does anyone know how to do this?
I've tried a few things in the registry but that hasn't helped. Anyone know how to do this?
you need to edit this file in your windows directory - StartMenu_GridScene_320x240.cpr

Import Registry pb ? morstcript

Hi all
i like to play with morstcript to personnalize my Rhodium..
to import the lnk of my manila (i use maxmanil with 20 lnk), i use that :
RunWait( "FS_TaskMgr.exe", "\App\Rom\Perso\Kwanice_Manila.reg" )
i add that to be sure there is no pb with htc sense
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Sense", "Enabled","0")
RedrawToday
and
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Sense", "Enabled","1")
RedrawToday
but i have always problem.. the shortcut on the home tab are not good...sometime yes sometime no..
can you explain why?
(if i use a .cab with only the registry value, it seems to work fine...)???
thanks for your help
no idea?
When you want to import .reg? you use mortscript? or a .cab file?
Or .xml files?
Since you're relying on a third party app to actually import the reg file maybe the problem isn't Mortscript but the app your script calls. You could always try another registry editor to import the file.
Also I think this can be done using Mortscript alone (with no 3rd party apps). You could try to make a registry import script using just Mortscript (a combination of If, ReadFile/ReadLine, ForEach, Split/Part/Replace, RegWrite and a couple of tricks should do it). reg files are actually text files so if needed you could always change the file it to make it easier for Mortscript to import.

yes good idea
but i have a lot of registry... it's easier to import reg if not i need to write all .reg line one by one...little boring..
or maybe there is another way to do that more simple? (i'm not an expert with mortscript^^)
but thanks for your help
You wouldn't write each registry entry. A script can be done to do all that work: read the reg file, parse each line (root, key/subkey, name/value, type), convert the text to Mortscript syntax and write it to the registry. But it would be a somewhat complex script and would take more time to write than writing 20 reg keys...

Languages and Locales.

Hi Devs,
Where are the language and locales stored in any rom? I cant seem to find any.
Thanks.
They are stored inside the apks, so you'll need apktool to decode them.
Cool thanks HomerSp. Will have a look at it.
u can explain it to me??
cuz im looking for a way to translate any rom to hungarian and i havent find anything (
Like HomerSp said you need to use the tool to extract the binary encoded xml's.
If you want to make an app support more languages you wil need to add Value values-NL (NL = Netherlands (Dutch)) into the apk itself. repack it up and good to go.
its sounds hard

Not really, it's just tiring... The only thing you have to do is decompile an apk with "apktool d apkname.apk", in res/ folder create a folder "values-##" (## are the letters of your locale, i.e: es - Spain - ESpaƱa), copy "strings.xml" from /res/values/ to your folder, edit it and compile back with "apktool b /folder/path/". Then, you have your app translated in /folder/path/dist/something.apk.
That's it.
Of course, you'll need apktool, but it's really easy to get. It's explained in a thread in this page.

Okay hee is the problem that you have replaced the string folder from s8600 you should not replace it. Instead edit the rsr files from the sdk and then replace it and it will work.
