[bignadad]

i am willing to bet the shellres i had was causing problems....

anyone that couldnt install before...try this TEST cab.....should work...

[bignadad]

Lookin' good Bignadad. Not a huge fan of all the colors myself, but looks great, nonetheless bud!
I hear your latest revision of the first one seems to be working well now. Nicely done.

just taking a quick look in da zip, noticed you had a phcanoverbmp.dll. so in the cab did you have the reg. file to go w/ it? when win mobile went from 6.1 to 6.5 they got rid of that dll but w/ a reg. change we could still use it. but if its not in the cab, that could be the prob.

ill let you know more after i mamually install

this is referring to the phcanOverbmp.dll (found on the 1st post of the 6.5 custom taskbar thread)

Known differences with WM 6.5 - most everything now is controlled in the shellres.192.dll file such as battery, signal bars (GSM) and your GSM network icons 3G, E, H and G. WM 6.5 does not come with a phcanOverbmp.dll but will read it with the correct registry edits. Some taskbar developers are choosing to use it Since HTC used the the phcanOverbmp.dll to skin the pin dialer and add extra icons to the taskbar. You will need to place the following registry edits into your phone or if your a developer into your cab in order to have it read correctly:

Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BaseDll"="phcanOverbmp.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BaseId"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:000003e9
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:00000065

Work around for the battery images since WM 6.5 they are located in the shellres but only 11 icons are included so for those who wish not to use the phcanOverbmp.dll due to the dialer skin take the old phcanOverbmp.dll and delete all the bmp's and icons other than the battery images which should be 101 images starting with Icon Group 1001 now save the file as phcanBattery.dll make sure your registry is set as below:

Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BaseDll"="phcanBattery.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BaseId"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:000003e9 (Hex) or 1001 (Dec)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:00000065 (Hex) or 101 (Dec)

Make sure you double check and you deleted everything out of the .dll other than the battery images. Tried the above mentioned technique and it worked correctly.

so im not sure which method gadgetfreak used but i just assumed one of the above methods is needed if you plan on using the phcanoverbmp.

yea, sorry. i tried the test cab you last posted and still a no go (all icons disappear) and i also manually installed the shellres.192 (you zipped for me) and agian all icons disappear. i havent tried them all yet but i'm kinda thinking that the dlls are from an older version of win mobile 6.5 (as i remember when gadgetfreak made that tb almost the begining of last year)

agian tested on s3 (deck) r9 rom, wm6.5 (21892)

Maybe it's the S3 ROM that is the problem...maybe there is a different setup with shellres or something..... i installed ALL versions of taskbar fine with energy 21892... only complaints i have heard about this not working is related to a stock ROM....

not sure....EnergyROM works great with it...
