Custom Taskbar
 

http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/174...en01ok6bo8.png
Big thanks to FInixNOver and the rest of the crew over at XDA for leading the way on the Custom Taskbar. Here is the original thread that started this all [SKN] Customizing the Windows Taskbar

Replacing/Renaming a dll file


When replacing a specific dll file in windows use the following technique (Using the HTCVolumeControl.dll as an example):
· Open Total Commander and go into /windows rename current HTCVolumeControl.dll to HTCVolumeControl.dll.bak
· use TC to move the new .dll file into /windows
· soft reset.
· You may now delete the .bak one.

Speaker and Battery Icon
The Speaker and Battery Icon's are located in the phcanOverbmp.dll file. The following are the steps to change your battery icon and speaker Icon out and to also give you the battery percentage.

1. First install the sdkcerts.cab
2. Install Taskbar%20Icons%20v2.cab
3. Install darklord battery metre v2_fixed.cab
4. To have your battery meter give you actual % such as 33% instead of in increments of 10 install nuePowerDriverCDMADiamond-100-v1.0-cab.cab updated 11/13/08
5. To fix the battery % either use a registry editor and change the settings as posted below or install FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly.zip (no need to do both) updated 11/11/08
6. To fix the little font when you click the speaker icon install HTCVolumeControl.dll in the attachment below (Thanks opuscroakus) updated 12/5/08


Make sure your registry says the following:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:65 (Hex) or 101 (Dec)
"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:3e9 (Hex) or 1001 (Dec)
"BaseDll"="phcanOverbmp.dll"
"BaseId"=dword:0 updated 11/12/08

For Black EV and 1X Icons
1. For the Black EV and 1X install the tapres.192.dll

For the Custom Start Menu Icon
1. Install Icone Demarrer.cab
2. The icon I have is found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2753669&postcount=203 (read post #2 in this link for other custom start icons)
3. You will have to rename whatever one you download from shellres.192.dll.0409.mui to shellres.192.dll (for Touch Pro)
· open TC and go into /windows rename the current shellres.192.dll to shellres.192.dll .bak or .old
· place the one you downloaded and renamed into the /windows
· Soft Reset
· Once you have done this then you can go back in and delete the .bak one.

How to create your own Start Icon (VGA)

1. Create an icon in 41x36 then save as .ico file (32bits) for QVGA 21x18
2. Copy you "shellres.192.dll.0409.mui" or "shellres.192.dll" to your SD card then to your PC
3. Unsign the file using Unsigner (for this just drag the file on top of this and it will unsign it)
4. Open it in one of these three Reshack / PE Explorer / Restorator and go to "Icon group/4609
5. Click on Action/Replace Icon/Open new file
6. Insert your new icon, click replace.
7. Save your modified file
8. OpenMssignerorMultiple file Signer
· click Start sign Process (for MFS follow directions in the link)
· a window will pop-up with "Process finished!"
· You will see a that a text file has been create for your shellres on your desktop
· Open the text file, if you see "Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped, Succeeded" you know the file was signed.
9. Transfer the modified file to your SD card
10 Open TC and navigate to the /Windows and rename your old file to "shellres.192.dll.0409.mui.bak" or "shellres.192.dll.bak"
11. Move your modified file from your SD card into the /Windows
12. Soft Reset

(To change out other Icons please visit this thread to see which .dll contains what Icon. You will need to replace the icon with the same size icon as in the original .dll and still follow the above steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307 )


Change Start Text

1. Unsign your shellres.dll.0409.mui
2. Open it in one of these three Reshack / PE Explorer / Restoratorand go to string value 321 and change the name from Start to whatever you want.
3. Save your modified file
4. Open MssignerorMultiple file Signer

Lylej2k has a thread for the Titan version (which should work on most QVGA devices)http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=45904&highlight=custom+taskbar+ti tan


***FAQ***
1. If your start Icon does not show up after installing one of m cab's go into your /Windows file and check for a file named shellres.192.dll.0409.mui, if you have this file then delete it because my cab install's the shellres.192.dll which the two files are exactlly the same. The Diamond comes with the shellers.192.dll.0409.mui

2. The nuepowerdriver is a file that gives you your battery % in incriments of 1. The driver is not 100% accurate especially from 90-100%.

3. Each time you install a new version to ensure everything installs correctlly, unistall the sdkcert's, my previous cab and the nuepowerdriver. This way you can start out with a fresh copy of each.

4. None of these taskbar enhancements will effect your memory or battery use.

6. All cab's are unistallable

7. If you click your speaker Icon and your font is too large its because you have installed the HTCVolumecontrol.dll that is for US/UK for the fix please go here

Here are the stock .dll's and what each one contains

Okay so I wasn't ready to release but here you guys go, I will just have to update the version like before. Instructions are below:

1. Unistall any taskbar you have installed previously.
2. Install sdkcerts and soft reset (visit my thread for this file)
3. Install my taskbar and soft reset
4. Install nuepowerdriver and soft reset (once again visit my thread for this file.)

If you run into problems visit my thread for the FAQ portion it also had the correct battery registry settings if your battery % is not right and has the registry edits to change your bars from 5 to 7 or 7 to 5, whichever floats your boat.

Now for those who just want the dll's and not the cab version I have created a zip folder with just those files in it so you have your choice.

This taskbar is VGA and is both GSM/CDMA, this bar is the most complete one to date as you can see below most every icon has been covered to include the LargeTitlteBar. For the QVGA gadgetfreak is working on a release and should release right behind me within a day or so. This release also has the Notificationmanager.dll which is for the new TP2 Manila that xboxmod and crew are working on at XDA so your icons will match with this as well.




This version is for those who have been getting denied access errors or other errors due to the new RHodium Manila basically if taskbar5 worked then this one will for now I have extracted all the LargeTitleBar files and other files that were causing problems. Below are the listed files included in this one. This is not an update just a "lite" version of the previous one until I get everything 100% perfect with the Rhodium Manila and other files. Next update I hope to have these problems fixed along with a new battery and other updates and corrections. If the full version works for you as it has for me then no need to do this version.


For the file to the lite version go here

*Fixes*
Click Here for the HTCVolumecontrol.dll fix for those who are not US/UK and after installing my cab have the Extra Large Font as seen in the picture below:

http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/250...108170257o.jpg

Just simply unzip and install the cab and soft reset.

Edit: This was made for tsowetaskbar6v2 if you need one with the original speakers PM and I will post it up.

Nothing major in this update to Taskbar 6 Elite, it includes the above images, also many icon sizes corrected and a few other minor fixes as well. Fixed quite a bit for GSM folks with this release. Also I had to go with the darker version on the speakers do to the size. When the images were shrunk down it was too hard to see the checkmark, vibrate and the X. I might try to edit it some more or play around with it so I can go with the more transparent look. This is the only thing that sucks about these phones and the icons is the detail and quality you lose when the icon is placed on the phone.

Below is the regular version and lite version. Visit post#4 if you need an explanation of what each version is.


Once I am happy with the images I will change the WM 6.5 taskbar6 version with the above speakers.


For anyone that wants the source code for the above images (.psd) please PM me and I will release them to you. If you wish to use these images please just let me know or give me a heads up prior to doing so is all I ask.

Also for those who want the old WM6.5 Wait cursor go to this thread

For those who need the volune fix if yours looks like the picture below download the volume fix cab. This is for everyone who is not US/UK

Re: Custom Start Icon/Battery/Speaker and EV 1X Icons
 

Start Icons
To insert these you are going to edit your "shellres.192.dll.0409.mui" or "shellres.192.dll" depending upon which one you have.

See the first post and look at the section How to create your own Start Icon (VGA)
Here are some Start Icon's for you guys. Refer to the first page on how to create your own. You can use a free program called IcoFx for converting or editing icon's
This is the folder called Ico.zip
http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/1932/snapshotdq8.png
This is the folder called Vista Orbs

Custom Task Bar
 

Here are some other Custom icons for other users at XDA. Right now these are in GSM for but I have spoken with the creators and they have shared with me there sources and are allowing me to create a CDMA version.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485548

Seeing as how the previous thread was getting a little un-organized I've decided to start a thread on customizing the icons for us titan users. I will be updating the first post of this thread to keep us as current as possible.

YOU MUST BE USING OPAL PHONE CANVAS FOR THIS TO WORK. Be aware that 911 does not work with this dialer as of now. that can be found here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...22&postcount=1 again, thanks mikee4fun

To get started, visit this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=44293 and follow steps 1, 2, and 3. That will get you the battery and speaker icons. PLEASE NOTE I have not been able to get the % above the battery to display right... for now. I also have a few icons that i have yet to find and resize you can see them in my screenshots in this post http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=45451&page=3 post #21

if you dont want the battery and speaker you still have to install sdkcerts.cab which i will post here.

To get the battery to display correctly check your registry and make sure it reads as follows, otherwise your battery will be backwards. (show 17% when you're at 83%)

Make sure your registry says the following:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:65 (Hex) or 101 (Dec)
"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:3e9 (Hex) or 1001 (Dec)
"BaseDll"="phcanOverbmp.dll"
"BaseId"=dword:0

To get the different signal bars and data icons use the attached cdma_rssi_ppc.dll (this one I have not resized but it displays fine for me.) This is still a work in progress, and I will update when things change.

Credit for the Battery, Speaker, and signal bars goes to the people in the thread I posted above.

For the 1x and ev icons use the attached tapres.96.dll (i know it says tapres.192.dll in the other thread but, on my titan it was 96)

For the bluetooth icons use the attached .zip

Credit for these goes to Mikee4fun

For the messaging Icons use the attached outres.96.dll

Credit for that goes to me i resized all the icons for qvga.

ok here's what you do, IN THIS ORDER
1.)install sdkcerts.cab
2.)Step 2 from this post http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=44293
3.)Step 3 from this post http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=44293
You will need to rename the shellres.192.dll to shellres.96 if you want the custom start icon
4.)Copy the 4 items from the bluetooth zip and place them in /windows, and overwrite (you may want to backup the originals)
5.)Copy the tapres.96.dll file from the .zip and place in /windows, overwrite (you may want to backup your original .dll files)
6.)Copy the outres.96.dll file from the .zip and place in /windows, overwrite
7.)Copy the cdma_rssi_ppc.dll from the .zip and place in /windows, overwrite

Soft-reset and you should be good to go.

If you're having problems read through this post http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=44293 as they have covered alot of little problems. I will also do what I can to help.

Re: Custom Taskbar
 

Special thanks to everyone who helped me with contributions or icons they had made. Gadgetfreak, Tsowen, Brock, HTCLeener, people over at XDA, and anyone else I missed.

This is for CDMA ONLY!

Here is my LargeTitleBar.dll. This works best if your Taskbar background is black. Most of ours are so that shouldn't be an issue.

Below you will see (going from left to right starting at top left): wifi found, wifi not connected, phone signal, ringer on vibrate, battery, alarm notification, 1x, phone in use, multi-message icon, EV, data in use, (bottom row starts here) voicemail, data connected but not in use, text message, ringer off, email, ringer on (Not Shown but included: USB, different battery icons, missed call, signal searching, signal unavailable)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...status_all.png


Installation Info:

- Just copy & paste the files into the /Windows directory (make sure to put ".bak" on the old files before you paste the new ones)
- A few of the icons (alarm, text message, etc) are pulled from their respective DLL's and I didn't need to modify mine...yours could be different.
- The LargeTitleBar.dll.zip contains my tapres.dll and my outres.dll because I had to modify a couple of files in them to make the icons look right in System Status. You do NOT have to use my outres or tapres file, but some of your icons (email, voicemail, txt msg, etc..) may not look 100% right on the status screen.
- Copy HTCLTB.png into your /Windows folder and overwrite your old file.
- This is not 100% complete, but it will be.


F.A.Q.s

- What happens to my taskbar if I use all 3 DLL's? What if I only use LargeTitleBar.dll?

IF you only use LargeTitleBar.dll...nothing will change on your taskbar...but a couple of icons on your system status screen may not look as good as mine.

IF you use all 3 DLL files, a few icons (email icon, voicemail icon, text message icon) will change on your taskbar to what you see on my status screens above.

IF you have anything other than a black background taskbar..you may notice black squares around a couple of the icons those mentioned above icons. (almost every today screen I see those has black background taskbars though so this probably won't be an issue with most people.)

Otherwise, if you don't mind about your txt msg, email, voicemail icons changing (they will change to what you see on my status screen..you may already have those exact icons so that may not matter) and you have black background taskbars...then just use all 3 files..works great.

- How do I get my squares with black background like your System Status screen?

Make sure you copy HTCLTB.png into the /Windows directory using TC and overwrite the existing file.

Enjoy!!



How I was able to change out these icons and remove the artifacts:

- The first thing I did involved HTCLTB.png, which you can tell from my zip, involved blacking out almost everything. This helped with icon distortion but not the white artifacts.
- To remove the white artifacts due to transparency, I manually opened each icon in IcoFX and filled in ALL the white/transparent areas and blended some areas in to the best of my ability to make the icons look as they do now. This is why I say, you might want to have a black background taskbar...otherwise a couple of icons may have black squares around them.
- I first attempted to take my LargeTitleBar.dll off of my phone and edit it and resign it...to no avail...no matter what I did it wouldn't resign.
- My next step was to find a Touch Pro LareTitleBar.dll, which I did find in this thread actually before it was consolidated.
- I then changed out a few icons and attempted to sign it before going through them all and low and behold it signed. I then proceeded to add all the icons, only to have the file become corrupt. So I had to start all the way over and instead of doing a lot of icons at once...I would do about 5-15 of them and sign it (to make sure it would sign) then unsign it and add more icons until I had it finished.
- Now, with where it is now...you can pretty much unsign it and add what you want without any problems.
- With the Diamond DLL...I actually had to try and unsign and sign this file multiple times...what I did was unsigned it...added all the icons..wouldn't sign...had to start over....unsigned it..and then just signed it to make sure it would sign(I unchecked read only in the properties of the actual file) and it signed. Then I unsigned it and added just 1 icon and then signed it back to see if it would sign....it worked. Then I would do about 5 icons at a time making sure it would sign all the way through until I was finished.
- You should be able to take either DLL now and unsign them and you should be able to add or replace whatever you want. These files are finicky though so don't be surprised if you have to unsign it a couple of times or try different amounts of icons to get it to sign again.
- Just don't give up...play with the file enough and you can get it to do whatever you want.
- The biggest thing I can say is A) make sure you can unsign it (if it doesn't appear to be unsigning rick click on it and click properties and uncheck read-only) B) make sure you can resign it C) Add 1 icon and see if you can still resign it D) Add multiple icons and see if you can still resign it.
- Just an FYI...the Touch Pro and Diamond LargeTitleBar.dll's are drastically different.


ALL VERSION UPDATE INFO BELOW (New zips below if available):

1.1
- Added Sprint type 6 bar signal/data/phone in use icons to LargeTitleBar.dll so they will now show on the System Status screen. Also swapped out a few more icons in LargeTitleBar.dll.
- This update was more beneficial for the Touch Pro since all that was added to the Diamond DLL were the Sprint type signal icons (it has no phone or data icons).

1.2 (Only LargeTitleBar.dll needed)
*Note - You don't have to use the other files in the zip if you are just updating your LargeTitleBar.dll
*Note - For first time users please see the Installation Info section above

Touch Pro
- Added nice Activesync icon instead of USB stick icon (thanks tsowen)

Diamond
- Fixed some issues with EV not showing in status screen
- Added Activesync icon

Updated Images

1.2 Update

Re: Custom Taskbar
 

Theta...thanks for that info. Now please help me by reading below:

I changed my Diamond file about 15 mins after I posted the first one....open the LargeTitleBar.dll you currently have in RESCHACK (download it from page 1 if you don't have it) and expand the ICONS folder and tell me how many folders are in the ICONS folder of that DLL you have on your phone right now.

It's either going to be 113 icon folders or 166 icon folders.

The reason I say that...the first file I posted was a modifed Touch Pro file which was really messed and I knew would have problems, but the new file(which has no downloads as of now) is the real diamond dll I modified.

Re: Custom Taskbar
 

Alright, so, I installed HTCLeeners signal icons and made sure my registry had the sprint 7 bar. My phone is showing the satellite image, but only has the 4 bars, AND they are white, not colored. Any ideas why?

And another odd thing, I made a couple icon changes in the tapres.192.dll and with the edited file, my icons wont update. For example when i disconnect the active sync, the icon doesnt change back to the Ev icon, it stays on the connected active sync icon. Or if i turn wi-fi on and off, the wi-fi on icon will stick.

Re: Custom Taskbar
 

These are various files that can be used for development, or to add functionality to QVGA devices so they get the full range of what we've accomplished here.
__________________________________________________ _______

Battery Icon Sets:

These are 2 sets I came up with for the Block Icon Set. The first is VGA only. It's my favorite, but you just can't read it on a QVGA phone. The second file is for QVGA.

http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/p...Freak/1002.jpg QVGA and VGA

Remember, there are the icons only. They have not been loaded into a phcanOVERbmp.dll.

Here are a Speakerphone and Voicemail Block Icons you can use:

http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/p...ak/Icon_71.jpg Speakerphone http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/p...eak/Newvm2.jpg Voicemail
__________________________________________________ _______

The other files are the QVGA version of HTCLeener's black EV/1x CDMA icons, and the files for the QVGA Jade Phone Canvas Dialer.
__________________________________________________ _______

If you choose to install that Dialer, use and advanced task manager to shutdown the cprog function before installing and backup your system.

Install in the following order:

1. Phone Skin Cab
2. SJ Patch (if you want hte slide to answer feature. If you do, make sure you disable that feature in S2US. They don't play well together)
3. Dan's Touch Fix Cab (this fixes the dialer codes and 911)
4. Open the included folder
5. Albert's Phone Canvas Lock Cab
6. Use Resco to copy the loose files into \Windows

Be patient with the Phone Skin install. It can take as long as 10-15 minutes...

Re: Custom Taskbar
 

Here are the fixes for those who's Volume Control shows the Huge font, the reason behind this is the HTCVolumecontrol.dll that was used in the cab's were for US/UK.

All you have to do is download the correct cab that goes with the taskbar you have installed.

Re: Custom Taskbar
 

I have updated my LargeTitleBar.dll for the Touch Pro and Diamond to version 1.1

You can see what I added and download it here:

Re: Custom Taskbar
 

Tapres has EV/1X, voice mail, speaker phone off of the top of my head. The Cab has the BT icon's installed already.

Font on battery is bigger and more clear as you can see on my screen shot, This is not the battery I am going to use on my own taskbar but was trying to keep with the same design for this taskbar just one that was clear.

Re: Custom Taskbar
 

Just in case this is because of the new icons I installed... (already posted in the Diamond CDMA upgrade forum)

When I tap on my new Reminder icon, the popup at the bottom and the softkeys both display in a language that I believe to be German. When I dismiss or snooze, everything turns back to English.
Any ideas? Could the icons have caused this?

Re: Custom Taskbar
 

Read a few post back problem has been fixed, the notify dll was in German and I have corrected the problem.
