Looking forward to that one!! I can't create my own cab file and can't figure how to change the EV icon (I'm using v5 I think, and love all the icons but the EV, don't care for the orb) so I'm jazzed about this one! Any idea when you releasing it?

Thanks again for the next level stuff...

Hey Everyone! I have created some start menu icons...some are old, some aren't. I used for the base Nelly's shellres.192.dll and just changed the start icon itself! Yes, they are kinda girlie-girl :-)

So, if you want to see the rest of the icon's check out Nelly's post! Here is the post :-) http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...6&postcount=18

Anyhow, the start icons are shown below and I have attached a big zip file with all of them enclosed! I cabbed em all up for y'all!

Thank you very much, Nelly for the icons! Awesome job!

Re: Custom Taskbar
 
Quick question that is probably answered but I sure don't remember seeing it...

I want my taskbar like I had it before, where if you click on an icon it only opens up the properties for that icon and not the HTC screen that allows you to be redundant and choose again. Here is a screenshot of my TF3D:

http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...ak_tp_tf3d.jpg

When I click on an icon (battery, Activesync, etc.) I get this screen:

http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...eak_tp_htc.jpg


I know I did it before on one of the stock roms, but I did not make note of what I did and cannot remember. What I want is to click on the battery and the proerties for power come up without the HTC screen.

Can someone please help me?

They all install fine and everything seems to be working ok but it is making my device act unstable, especially after soft resets it will hang or some plugins on today screen wont load properly. Often I will have to soft reset 3-4 times before everything works as it should. I'm 99.9% sure its because of the taskbar because I never have these problems with it uninstalled.

I have sdkcerts installed, no nuepowerdriver (is there a gsm version?) and NO other battery apps like finixnover so nothing should be conflicting with tsowentb.

Any thoughts? I'd really love the look of these icons, (great job tsowen!) so getting it to work properly would be awesome. Thanks!

Since you are running with the Xperia x1i you might run into a few problems since my cab installs the HTCVolumecontrol.dll and I am not sure if this is compatible with your device however the other files should be pretty standard. First since you are GSM the nuepowerdriver will not work properly but with the registry edits posted on the first post this will be the work around for this method, secondly look into your /Windows file and tell me if you have the shellres.192.dll and a shellres.192.dll.0409.mui if you do then delete the .mui file and soft reset. You will not need the HTCVolumecontrol.dll so this you may delete as well. Try these two and tell me how your phone acts, it might be the added dll causing conflict I don't know. If you continue to eperience more problems then I might have to take a trip over to XDA and look at some of the ROM files there to see if you have any specific files that we might have missed. So far on the taskbar's have been tried out on most HTC Devices and work with minor glitches such as the HTC Touch HD. Thank you for your feedback as this helps us continue to improve and hopefully with your feedback it will help us in developing device specific taskbar's or help us point users with different devices to the correct files and settings.

The odd thing is, other taskbars work fine. I can replace it with other signal icons, but not the one that matches taskbar3. The one from 2 works fine, the ones from 4 and 5 work fine, but not the one that matches 3.

I'm going to have to look into this and get with the Chef on his ROM. Its weird that some work and others don't I will have a look at the dll and compare it to taskbar 5. Give me about a day and hopefully I will have something. Your Sprint with a TP?

Check your Registry setting and see if it is set to 5, if so maybe set it to 7 and soft reset.
<characteristic type="HKCU\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction\CDMA" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="SignalStrengthLevel" datatype="integer" value="5"/>
</characteristic>

5 = Telus Thick bars
7= Sprint Skinny Bars

Re: Custom Taskbar
 
Here is a great example of something i spent a bit of time on, and am not sure i like the final result.

This would be the in call signal strength icon, each bar would show up according to how strong your signal is.

Hi! Hmm, there might be a conflict here after all. Im using a cooked ROM from XDA on my X1i which among other things contain TF3D and a lot of Touch HD cabs and systems files, including HTCVolumeControl.
So, if the taskbar installs htcvolumecontrol which is already present that might cause a problem, no?

I do have shellres.192.dll and shellres.192.dll.0409.mui, but the mui file threw "access denied" when I tried to delete it. The windows dir also has HTCVolumeControl.dll and HTCVolumeControl.dll.0409.mui.
There are also four different "shellresapps.dll", if that has any significance.
And btw, the ROM I'm using (which is excellent, fast and stable) is Touch-IT Xperience v3.5 RC1:

Okay well first try to rename the shellres.192.dll.0409.mui to shellres.192.dll.0409.mui.bak and then rename the shellres.192.dll to shellres.192.dll.0409.mui and then soft reset. You get access denied because right now your phone is reading that file so you have to put a .b or .bak on the end of it and rename the other one to make it read it. You should have both of the HTCVolumecontrol.dll files you said you have so this should be okay. My cab does not install any shellresapps.dll so this must be from the ROM you are using. So lets try and fix the shellres.192 for now and see how this does. If this doesn't work we can continue to troubleshoot it until we figure out what is going on.

Try here. I've converted most of the icon sets to QVGA for my Touch Vogue. There are also links to other QVGA items as well. Just follow my instructions for getting these to work on a QVGA device and it should work fine.

Before installing taskbar I have one file called shellres.192.dll as well as a shellres.dll.0409.mui

After installation I can see that shellres.192.dll has been replaced by a slightly larger file, but there is no shellres.192.dll.0409.mui
Something must have gone wrong in some previous uninstall because now the new battery icon wont appear after installing the taskbar, it defaults back to the standard black/white one. The other icons show up though.

Okay the shellres.dll.0409.mui is different from the shellres.192.dll, the battery is controls from the phcanOverbmp.dll so make sure this file is in there and good to go, for GSM this will also have your network icons as well such as the G, H and 3G ones. Can you try to unistall the taskbar, soft reset, unistall the sdkcerts and soft reset, Then install each one over again. Once this is complete check your registry settings that are listed on the first page for the battery. You don't need ther nuepowerdriver since this is CDMA version, few have gotten it to work on GSM but it has still caused there battery icon to act weird at times. There is a list on the first page of this thread that has what icons are in each dll so doulble check that if you run into problems. If all else fails could be a conflict with the ROM somewhere and we might need to consult the ROM builder as to what settings he/she has changed and what registry tweaks were added so we can somehow counter them in order to get the taskbar to behave correctly.

Thank you very much for this! I hope I can return the favor. Is there any chance to make it a little smaller and to smooth out a little the edges to match the other icons.? If not, I am very happy and again thanks.

anyone running mighty 4.4.5 with tsowens v5 1.7, and the hotfix?????

any ideas on what could fix this ???/ i even tried to put the icons in the dll but they are still there??? and your icon shows when the phone is booting but changes to the default one about 30 seconds after the phone boots up.. this has got me stumped!!! thanks alot

says alot about ur charaCter CHIEF.

like i said, if i had his taskbar installed the hotfix would have had that icon installed. now because my rom uses the standard taskbar menu, that dll is not included.

I have the default standard Sprint ROM on an HTC Touch Pro so I am not sure what hotfixes were done and how it would effect the dll's try to unistall everything and then install all over again like everyone said. If this messes things up and erases the hotfix then post your HTCVolumecontrol.dll and your phcanOverbmp.dll these are the two files that have the speaker icons and I will edit them manually for you. No worries we will get you fixed up but try the first method and see what the end results are first.

Alright here you go everything is signed, changed a small setting in the HTCVolumecontrol with the signing of the certificate but should not effect anything at all. Try these out and let me know.
