Could someone explain how to change the start menu icons when creating a rom?

[nrfitchett4]

this is what I use, it is post flash, but very effective and only takes a couple of minutes (though I wouldn't mind being able to change the icons too, just I think you have to change a .dll file and I don't know how to do that yet).
there is a readme that explains how it works in the cab that you can look at and here are some places to get icons:

3. Click the drop-down box labeled "XIP Build" and select a XIP version
Build branches are implement
BuildsBranches -
2105x = 6.1
216xx = 6.5.x - HTC
217xx = 6.5.0.1 thru 6.5.0.4
218xx = 6.5 - COM2 - GUI This is the only official WM6.5 released to public.
219xx = 6.5 – COM1 & contuned COM2 - MD1
220xx = 6.5.x - SONY Ericsson
230xx = 6.5.x – COM3
231XX = 6.5x - Com3.2 threaded email
234xx = 6.5 Comm 4 Appears to be abandoned
235xx = 6.5.x - COM5 - new outlook interface - threaded email
236xx = 6.5.x - LG Electronics threaded email

4. Click the drop-down box labeled "SYS Build" and select a matching build to the "XIP Build".
5. Make sure you check the "Real WM 6.5 AKU" Box.
6. Scroll down to the section labeled

and choose what you want to include & exclude what you dont in your ROM .
7. After you have added in or removed what you want in your ROM, click the "Create ROM" button, which won’t be grayed out now.
8. When the Rom is finished cooking Multiplatform PagePool changer will appear. Click on Select and chose to only file there. Then Custom defaults to 6. Change that number to 0. Next hit “Change to” and “Close”. That is a dynamic setting. (Auto if you will).

so this is the new thread for the be all end all tp2 kitchen discussion thats super. anyway since the other thread was closed i figured id post here.

I had a problem with the sense music tab not playing music or playing and freezing after a couple of seconds. i thought it was the system i was using but further investigation shows its a/the program that auto searches and looks for album art or new library changes. any way to just disable this through the registry or is this one of those enigmas that hasn't been answered yet.

I created another package that will overwrite all of those folder icons and any other icon. That way I didn't have to hunt them all down and replace them individually. It also makes it easier if i want to change my icon theme too. As for what names to use, go into the registry and look for
HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start
That's where everything on your start menu gets its icons. For each lnk or folder, there's an icon value. So the games folder icon is named Start_Icon_Games.png

For those of you using 6.5.x, I came across a program the other day called Ameba that allows you to change the behavior of the X and start menu buttons. You can set it so a short/long press of the X actually closes a program as opposed to just throwing it in the background. There are other settings as well. I did see it mentioned a long while ago in Calkulin's thread(I wish it wasn't locked) but figured I throw it out here again, as it seems to be working extremly well.

Here's the thread at XDA(I'd attach the program but I can't upload from work)...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583002

The only thing I had to do was to throw Arkswitch into the exceptions list so it wouldn't close that program on pressing the X.
