Hi People
How We Change Toggle switches & Notification icons From Manila shortcut . I Have The New Icons But I Don't Know The Path In Registry Editor To Add The New Icon . I Just Need The Path To Edit Icons
Toggle switches / notifications are slightly different to program shortcuts....
If you have the new icons they are probably .png files or manila files right???
If so you need to copy them to /windows (on the device memory) and overwrite the ones that are already there......
you should take copys of the originals first though and keep them safe on your sd card in case theres a problem... you might need to "show hidden/system files" in your file explorer settings to be able to copy them........
hope that helps........
thanks its work
can i ask other small Q please . how can i change loading image when we run sofrware or do anything . the circle image i mean .
and thanks again ;*
not so sure about that one, I think its the same process though, you just need to find a suitable loading symbol, ive never changed mine though....

Problem show icon on custom panel in portrait mode
First excuse me for may little english.
I have create a panel to dial contact with chomeconfigurator, in portrait mode icon for panel is not show, if I turn in landscape mode the icon are show correctly.
Anyone have solved this problem?
Thanks to all.
I had the same problem with HTC home panel, if you change you screen to Windows sliding panel, everything should be OK. Probably a thing CHome configuration developers should look at.
Partial solution
x Rudat: Thank you, I've found the same solution yesterday, with the standard sliding panel all work fine and it show all icon.
What's the .cpr file associated with HTC Home Panel, I've try to modify the file found in phone (file ends with HTC***240x320.cpr and HTC****320x240.cpr) but nothing changed on my phone, I'va also edit .xml file to create custom panel but nothing it's happened...
An other question, where is the file .cpr used to show panel, I'm not be able to find it in my phone...
Thank to all
Custom Partial Fix for Sliding Panel Icons in Porrtrait Mode
I have a partial fix that you can try. It is based on the HTCSlidePanel_US.xml. After extracting the 3 files, copy HTCSlidingPanel_Rev12.home.xml to your device \Application Data\Home. Then make a backup copy your device's SlidingPanel_240x320.cpr and SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr. Then copy the two extracted files: SlidingPanel_240x320.cpr and SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr to your windows directory on your device. This will OVERWRITE your orginal files so make a backup BEFORE you do this incase you want to go back.
It is not exactly the way I like it but it is better than the HTC Green. Enjoy.
Problem
In my phone (rom origina in italian no brand) I'm not able to find SlidingPanel_240x320.cpr and the SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr, where I'll find it?
Those files are hidden - use a file explorer and change the file display settings to show all hidden and system files. You should find it in the device windows directory.
Thanks
I've found the files and now I'm trying to customize the home panel, thanks to all...
I seem to be unable to replace SlidingPanel_240x320.cpr and the SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr files with their new versions - i am being told it is either locked or I do not have rights to change or edit the folder... can anyone hint me how to do that? Thanks

Never mind, Total Commander http://www.smartphone-freeware.com/download-total-commander-v2-5.html helped...
Customize HTC Home Sliding Panel
Fix - Show Icon and Formatation in Portait mode
Somehow the Problem was the GUID of the Panels.
To Change that permanently follow my instructions:
1.) Use CHomeConfigurator
Create the Panel (e.g. called "GamePanel1") just the way you want to have it
Close CHomeConfigurator.
Check if it works in Landscape Mode the way it should.
2.) Use Total Commander
Goto \\\registry\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\
Copy and rename CWelcomeCenter folder (e.g. "GamePanel2")
Delete all the pages in \\\registry\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\GamePanel2
Copy the new Pages you made in GamePanel1 to GamePanel2 (Use [Strg]+[c] and [Strg]+[v])
3.) Customize properties of GamePanel2 just like the once in GamePanel1 with Total Comander
\\\registry\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\GamePanel2
CONDENSEDTITLE
ICONPATHS
LocName
Pages
4.)Open CHomeConfigurator again
As you can see GamePanel2 allows no changes!!!!! Just like CWelcomeCenter.
Hide GamePanel1 (or delete)
Show GamePanel2 (You might have to enable GamePanel too if it is written in red)
Exit CHomeConfigurator and Confirm: Save Changes!!!!
Done!!!
You can do that multiple times for more Panels using a copy of CWelcomeCenter (resp. its GUID)
Great fix, it works!
hey there...i was wondering if anyone could take a sec to help a n00b out...
i've been working on a rom (6.5 build 23544) using Ervius visual Kitchen for gene by BesFen for a few days...i've finally found all the packages i want and made a few ones myself...i made a test rom and its running well...
but there's still one huge hole left in my finished build...so i just needed some help i.e. needed to know a few things
1. where do i change the the default splash screen (the orange windows image) that pops up after the boot screen
2. where to replace the startup gif image and wav sound
3. how to set an external theme as my default and removing the inbuilt themes that come bundled with the 6.5 builds
4. how to change the default icons (i have an icon pack as well a cab file of the same)
5. if there is a way to set up a shutdown animation and splash screen in the kitchen before creating the rom
6. edit any other settings and tweaks while still in the kitchen phase
7. change the start menu icons for the softkey buttons and start menu
8. edit the taskbar and softkey bar to make it transparent on the today screen as well as inside the menu
9. remove default ringtones and replace them with our own
i tried searching the net and going through the posts here but i'm drawing blanks...
i'd appreciate any solutions that come my way!!
solutions!!
found a few solutions myself...a lil' help from the boards...
if anyone else is interested in them, here they are-
1. the splash screen can be changed by replacing the welcomehead.96.png in the "SYS\28230\dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320\COMMON\Redist_dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320\" folder file with your own
while you're at it, you could replace the complete.96.gif file too
*but make sure that you have edited your images to the correct format and resolution before making the changes
2. the animated.gif and bootuphtc.wav files in the "kitchen\OEM\OLDGENE\COMMON\OEMOPERATORS" folder can be replaced with your own
4. add your icons in the "kitchen\SYS\28230\dpi_96\COMMON\Base_DPI_96" folder thereby replacing the default icons
*make sure that the names of the icons you add to this folder is the same as the default icons
6. to change the rom's date and give it your own name, make changes in the "mxipupdate_OEMVERSION_100.provxml" file in the "kitchen\OEM\OLDGENE\COMMON\OEMVERSION" folder,
this can be done by opening the file in notepad and making your changes in the 'value' section
do correct me or suggest an easier method if known to you
as for problems 3,5,7,8 and 9...research and testing is underway...hope to get past that hurdle soon...
use the attached folder and put it inside OEM
solve your ringtone by editing the *.rgu file and initflashfiles.txt file available in this folder
solve your theme problem by editing the *.rgu file and initflashfiles.txt file available in this folder
Note: I have used two different mp3 file for ringtone n message notification

you could just add the theme you want ( in .tsk format) in the kitchen\SYS\Themes_Lang_0409_DPI_96_RESH_240_RESV_320 folder...
tried it out and worked well...
all you have to do is go into settings\today\ when the phone starts and select which one you want...
as for setting your own theme as default...clueless...
guessing you have to extract all files from the theme and place them in the kitchen\dpi_96\COMMON\Base_DPI_96 folder and edit dsm and rgu's from somewhere to set it as default
personally...i've found a loophole to the whole theme problem (pardon the pun) so i don't bother with it anymore
more solutions...
3. to remove the inbuilt themes like dvf green, vera wang red, etc. etc. just delete the theme_dpi_96 folder in the kitchen\SYS\23544\dpi_96\COMMON folder...
to add your own themes copy the .tsk files into the kitchen\SYS\23544\dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320\0409\Themes_Lang_0409_DPI_96_RESH_240_RESV_320 folder and delete the inbuilt .tsk files you'll find there
*NOTE*
for those who want to have a modified theme, i suggest editing the .png images in the folder mentioned below...the ones with "classicblue" "default" and "black" at the start of their name to your preference and leaving the classicblue.tsk file untouched so that this theme becomes your own in case you install another theme and want to go back to your edited theme
7. edit the .png images in the kitchen\SYS\23544\dpi_96\COMMON\Base_DPI_96 folder...
the softkey icons are the ones with names like default_toolbarIconBubbleButton.png...they're all around the same area, so easy to find...
for editing, i suggest using photoshop of you have it, else an easier alternative is the paint.net editor available at http://paint.net
8. now i couldn't get a transparent taskbar and softkey bar on the today screen without using titanium but i did manage to get it to be fractionally more translucent but editing the .png files found in the folder mentioned above
i'll attach the files if needed...
my ROM's coming along so i'll keep you posted with more solutions as they come along...have fun cooking!!
Suggestion
Remove all landscape theme files, bcs no-one uses the GENE in landscape mode and it will make the ROM lighter in weight

the rom i'm working on (and using for testing purposes) doesn't have landscape theme files...i've just added the wallpaper for kicks...
thanx for the input though...its weird getting 275 views and just 3 replies...
If so, can you explain how you did it because I haven't been able to figure it out yet. By the way, I've already tried all of the standard methods explained here on the forums.
I figured it out!
In Dinkn's glassy icons the facebook file name is: Start_Icon_HTC_facebook.png. This file resides in the windows folder. When you change the icon lt doesn't create a facebook.bmg in the cash. The solution is to make a copy of the original file, rename it to facebook.png and past it to the folder of your choice. Now when you use one of the icon changing programs to change the icon it will create the bmg file in the cash and the new icon will show in the quicklinks menu--sweet
i just used that ICON changer and it worked 1st time...
just hit the show all default icons...then from there..replace it with the one you want
I use JWMD application. In many cases it works - changes icon.
But with some of them I have problem - I do everything step by step, clean cache etc and I see in the START that e.g. YouTUbe icon changed, I try to add this icon to quick links in CHT, I tap on program icon, and when it shows on my home screen I see the old one (default icon).
So in Start list I see new icon, changed. Putting it to home screen (using CHT) I see old icon. It happens using CHT 1.8.5 and 2.0.0.
Could it be sth wrong with icon? When I choose another icon, it shows properly i quick links.
It happens with YouTube, AdobeReader, etc. Icon set - Dinik Anastasia.
Rather than using the 'Clear Icon Cache' option in JWMD (which can also unwantedly clear other icons throughout WM) I find it best to make the icon changes using JWMD, then using any decent file explorer go to Application Data\HTC\Proglauncher and delete the entries there for the icons you have just changed. Then do a soft reset and you shoudl now find that when you restart and select the quicklinks the icons shoudl be your new ones.
Try renaming the file. Add a 01 or something like this to the file name, set this icon, clean the cache and reboot. If the file has the same name as the original, this problem seems to occur.
Yes rr02, that was the problem!
Changing file names helps!
Thx for your answers!
best thing to do is ...
use any explorer to navigate to
/Aplication Data/HTC/ProgLauncher
select all delete restart device and that is it ))

Here: Copy overwrite two xxx_manila file to windows\ folder.
YouTube: 5d19a3c9_manila
AdobeReader: 1356d33f_manila
A name of png files was the problem, not cleaning cache by JWMD. The program does it well. Problem occured even if I deleted files by TotalCommander (Aplication Data/HTC/ProgLauncher) and soft reset.
If the file has the same name as the original, problem (sometimes) occurs.
Problem solved.
On every phone froyo and above, when you're on the phone, there's this green bar that moves across and fills the status bar over and over again. Is there any way to remove this or change it's color?

I've never seen that before.
--EDIT--
The status bar flashes green on the stock Photon ROM. Apparently it only does this when you have a call in the background and are doing something else. I was not aware you could do this on android phones.
For example, if you have WiFi on and receive a call (the 4G/3G/1xRTT radios are off during a call), put it on speakerphone, you can then talk to someone and surf the web (such as check on something for your caller)
Yes. This is known. But I didn't ask if you can use your device for other things while making a call.
What I asked was while in a call and the status bar is flashing green, can the flashing color be made to change to more match a theme? Can that bar be made blue or red or any other color? Can it be turned off? If so, how? Changing the color would be nice.
Is this another digging into frameworkres or is there an easier way? If this is a frameworkres thing, can anybody post details? And if it IS a frameworkres issue, has anyone made a good tool to work with it and if not a tool, a good roadmap for things to change? A tool would be nice and I'm guessing the android community might be developed enough that it's been done, hopefully?
I have edited this. You need to go into the SystemUI.apk.
1) Download 7zip
2) Install 7zip
3) Copy your SystemUI.apk to your computer
4) Open SystemUI.apk using 7zip (Open Archive)
5) at the same time extract your SystemUI.apk to your computer so you have the folder and archive window open side by side
6) In both folders, go to res/drawable-hdpi
7) Look for status_bar_background_animation1 though status_bar_background6
8) Change them in the extracted folder, and save
9) Drag the newly created images into the 7zip archive folder and then close it
10) move the SystemUI.apk to your sdcard
11) Move the file again to system/media
12) Change permissions by longpressing to RW-R-R
13) Move to system/app
14) Reboot, Enjoy!
