"Icon"="\\Windows\\HTC_multimedia.png"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ Internet]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\HTC_internet.png"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ Communicate]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\HTC_calls.png"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ Organize]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Folder Tools.png"

The pngs are in the "files" folder of the tweaks folder that the regedits are in.

You need to convert the app.reg into a provxml named like mxipupdate_zzCustomStartIcons_100.provxml.

seems like everyone is doing this the hard way... this is what i do and its flawless.. I make an ext folder at the end of my kitchen (actually i put this in my icons folder) and i name all the icons the same name as the stock stuff.

i have attached my Qilin OEM Start icons as an example (go here to give thanks to indagroove and willysp for these)

i dont touch app.reg files, nothing.. just add these and shazaam

LOL, that does seem much easier. I'll give that a go.

I tried that route as well, but I'm noobish when it comes to provxmls and how to call them at boot up. When I tried I got an error at boot, it seemed like it couldn't find my file.

How do you know what to name the provxml? Where do I have to add that line to call it at boot? What folder does the provxml need to be in, if it matters?

I'm trying to change the icons of folderst that I created. The default one's I figured out, here is the ext that I am using to try and make the change, Also in the ext is the regedit to shut off the manila shortcuts in the start menu.

Did you already try to go in manually through a registry editor after the ROM is cooked and set those folder icons? If that works, then export those regedits to your tweaks folder.

That's what I did with my folder icons and I have no issues. Mine look the same as yours except that I have "Item Postition, Group and Rank". I don't see why that would matter as far as chaning the icon, but I'm still noob, so perhaps it does...

Here's what one of mine looks like:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ Internet]
"ItemPosition"=dword:00000008
"Group"=dword:00000001
"Rank"=dword:000003DF
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Folder Internet.png"

What does the item postition and rank do?

"Group"=dword:00000001

I what to use Williams_Fold Ind. Tabs. What combo of manila does you use to the Ind. Tabs to work. Do you include the Manila Engine 2.5 and Manila 2.5. Or just the Manila Core with the Ind. Tabs?

What friggin phone canvas is compatible with what everybody is skinning? The GTX phone skin that CMYLXGO and the Anastasia phone skin that Dinik made are not compatible with the one I have from the kitchen.

The CMYLXGO GTX phone skin is for Phone Canvas 5_30_0_0 (new sprint dialer). I am unsure of the one Dinik made.
