Hi everyone,
I have this problem. For the last 6 days, my taskbar icon is behaving strange. The service icons (G, 3G, H and E) change to the default icons by itself, while the phone is ON. The others (battery, speaker, antenna) are OK. I realised this when waking up in the morning, so I guess it changes some time at midnight. When I restart (or reset), the customised icons (in phcanoverbmp) appears again. When I invoke the data connection, the customised icons come back, but changes to default again in the morning. Any idea why this is happening ??
I use this phcanoverbmp modified from Gadgetfreak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1&postcount=69)

Do you know if the G, 3G, H and E icons have been changed in all of the dlls that they appear in? Shellres.92, shellres.92.dll.mui, HTCLTB.dll, etc? It sounds like to me that on a GSM phone, the actice data connections are covered by the phcanoverbmp.dll, while possilby another dll covers them when the data connection is inactive. (and yes, that is a guess...)

Hi gadgetfreak,
Thanks for the reponse. The thing is when I invoke data connection (or reset without data conn), the icon returns, and stays there even when I close data conn. So I think it's still covered by phcanoverbmp regardless on data connection or not. Then after a few hrs (no definitive time) it converts to default icons by itself. I haven't actually looked into the dll's. I just observed the taskbar. I'll look at the dll's and see if any have been changed and report.

Ok, I had a peek into the dll's (phcanoverbmp, shellres.96.dll and shellres.96.dll.0409.mui). Everything seem intact. The customised icons are in phcanoverbmp. The other icons in other dll's are as in stock except for the antenna, wait cursor and windows icon. I remember modifying only the phcanoverbmp and shellres.96.dll.0409.mui (to modify the start icon). :scratch:

Tsowen, i wonder if you could help me with a little issue? It's concerning the outres.dll and i've searched high and low to find an answer to no avail.

Let me explain what happens -

I first install sdkcerts.cab, then your excellent taskbar3v1.4, then soft reset. All goes well, all icons show up and the contacts summary page is ok.

I unsign the outres.dll as i want to change the email and sms icon, then resign and copy over to \windows folder, then soft reset. This is where the problem arises, the contact summary page is blank!!! If i delete the outres.dll file so that the original one comes back into play, all is ok with the contacts summary. All other dll's that i unsign, modify and resign work perfectly!!

Please help as this is driving me nuts!!! I'm running kwbr's A Touch Of HD rom 3.4.1 on a GSM HD (i appreciate you are mainly a CDMA man, but the taskbar works for me (except CDMA_RSSI_PPC, obviously)) so i'm quite happy other than outres.dll not playing ball.

There aren't that many icons in this dll, so i don't know what is causing this annoying problem (different signing, not signed?). Is there something in your _setup.xml which allows only your outres.dll to work?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated (from anyone!!)

Regards

DF

I've just reinstalled the taskbar and yes, the original outres.dll in your cab works fine (just received an sms and the correct icon comes up).

I checked with Resco Explorer and the outres.dll in Windows is the correct size (ie your outres.dll). What was interesting is that when i start to copy over my modified dll, the file it wants to replace is the original windows one (515kb as opposed to your 525kb). I would have thought that it would try to replace your file. I then get a warning that outres.dll is in the rom and i could damage my system:confused2:. I'm assuming this is where the problem arises when 2 dll's are fighting against each other?

Here is my outres.dll (all i've done is added the last icon, email with + symbol, and applied a detail filter to the existing sms and email icons, nothing special - file size is 529kb signed).

Thanks again for looking into this, can't wait for an update to what i feel is the best taskbar for the HD.

Regards

DF


PS: I don't suppose i could have copies of your coloured backgrounds used in taskbar3v1.4 (blank ones), as i would like to match things up (at the moment i'm using volume icons from the Q series X1 and the blue is a different shade - anal i know, but hey). Thanks again

Hi gatgetfreak
I've intalled the files. Sadly it did not turn out well. Result as follows:
Changed - HTC Start icon, H G 3G E, Active Sync Synchronising, data connected (but character not visible), Waitcursor

Not changed - Wifi (stock), battery (stock - shows full when actual is 70%), Signal strength, antenna (stock), Active Sync Synchronised (stock) Phone Calling icon, speaker (htcvolumecontrol.dll), Data connecting (stock)

Note: Mine is a Jade (qvga). Your battery icons are 32x32. is this the reason?
