GSM or CDMA? upload you shellres file and ill make one up for you!

Hi apaquette420, have read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426264 and may be I'm just being an imbecile but I can't find the shellres files it's talking about. The only thing I can find close is a file called "shellresapps.dll.0409". Is this the correct file to modify? Or am I just looking in the wrong place :)

Any help would be appreciated, the only thing I want to change is the Start Icon to a green Vista orb (the same as in XBmod HD Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458788)

are you on GSM or CDMA ???what program are you using to find the file in your windows dir???

i'm gonna need a copy of the icon you want i cant find a download link

[apaquette420]

It's GSM and am using Resco Explorer, can only locate the following files by doing a search for shell*.*

shell32
shellcelog
shellres.192
shellres
shellres.dll.0409
shellresapps.192
shellresapps.96
shellresapps
shellresapps.dll.0409

Which one is it :)

[apaquette420]

GSM users need to mod the shellres.192.dll to change the start icon, so copy that file off your phone and upload it here, but you still need to find the orb you want because i can not find a download link!

its in the first post its the actual image but its white so its hard to see n um cdma

[apaquette420]

when i changed the size of the img you posted in the first post the colour changed on its own i can try again to see if i can keep it white

edit : even when i save the img it goes black, sorry your gonna need to get someone else to make it up for you.

[xavierdemon]

I think I am making a meal out of this but I can't bloody copy the file lol (shellres), have tried Resco Explorer and just tried Total Commander, is there another app that can actually do what I want it to do, which is copy the file somewhere else. Once I've managed to copy the bloody thing, I can begin the search for the ORB lol.

I am tempted to forget about, as it does seem to much hassle :)

[apaquette420]

just get the orb and i will get the shellres file you need! soo as you find the orb upload it and i will get it working for you

[xavierdemon]

Right finally managed to get the shellres.192.dll off my phone :) (using ROM extractor), even managed to find location of icon to be changed (292 + 293) in Resource Hacker. So far so good but I can't find the bloody green vista orb lol (pictured here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=54514).

So sod it, can't be bothered anymore.

However just to clarify the complete process.

1. Rom Extractor - to get file
2. Unsigner - to unsign it
3. Resource Hacker - to replace the icon
4. MSsigner - to resign the file
5. Copy back to Windows directory (I bet this stage would have gone wrong as well anyway lol

Thanks for all your help apaquette420.

I may decide to give it a go when I find the elusive Vista Green Orb :)

yep you got all the steps right i have this orb if you want it thanks goes to CrazyLiLbOy for the icon

[xavierdemon]

Xboxmod has kindly given me the file containing the orb but can't get the Unsigner working lol.

Have uploaded my "shellres.192.dll" and the file containing the orb "shellres.192.dll.0409.mui" the orb is in position 292 in the mui file.

apaquette420 is there any chance you can take the orb from the mui file and put it in my shellres.192.dll file?

here you go man just un-zip and copy to your windows folder on your phone!!

[xavierdemon]

Cheers fella, just one last problem (I promise :) ) as anticipated by myself lol, I can't copy the shellres.192.dll back into the Windows directory. Have tried doing it by Active Sync and by using Resco Explorer to move the file from Internal Storage to the Windows directory. I have also tried to rename the exsisting shellres.192.dll file but i'm not able to do that either lol

So for the love of GOD how the hell do you copy it back into the Windows directory? Do I need another application or something?

Am tempted to use a hammer lol

[apaquette420]

Am tempted to use a hammer lol

LOL:D you dont need to go that far lol!!! have you installed and of the All-In-On cab files to mod your taskbar?? the only reason i ask is the only way i was able to swap files in the windows dir was after i installed one of tsowen's task bar cabs if i just tried to swap the file before i installed the cab i could not change any files. so what i did was installed sdkcerts then one of the all in on taskbar cabs then the nue power drivers(so your batt shows the correct power state) then soft reset , then i would copy my changed files over and i was able to swap the files..

Does anyone else know how he can swap the file out with out going though all these steps????

if not try it and see how it goes just remember to do a back up with PIM or SKtools because that way you will be fine if you have to hard reset!!!

let me know how it goes. I will be out for the night, but i will check back in the morning. good luck lol

[xavierdemon]

Installed Sdkcerts before I installed Flinx battery status icon, that's the only modification I have to the Taskbar.

Have looked through all 45 pages of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426264&highlight=diamond+start and it does seem a bit hit or miss for Diamond users. Most seem to be having problems just trying to get the shellres.192.dll file on their phones (which I have been able to do using ROM Extractor), the file is modded by you so the only problem left is trying to put it back into the Windows directory.

I have spent ages trying all sorts of different ways, I did install the Icone Demarrer.cab as well but it didn't help. Renaming the current shellres.192.dll failed, copying over it failed, hell I even just tried to delete it :) but that too failed. Tried to copy/rename/replace with Activesync, Resco Explorer 2008 and Total Commander obviously none of them worked.

I can't even think of any other techniques to try.

So, mission to change start icon on Diamond - FAILED.



UPDATE After spending all day and I mean all day :) reading through this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307&highlight=start+icon I came across one single post indicating they were having the same sort of problem as me (copying the file back to the Windows directory), his solution was found here http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm and using Total Commander to do the copying. Now I had been using Resco Explorer and Total Commander but it would appear my version of TC was a little older than the one on the Website, I will also add that I think TC is rubbish compared to Resco Explorer but it did get the job done :)

So, mission to change start icon on Diamond - COMPLETE

Big thanks to apaquette420 for modding the shellres.192.dll file me and Xboxmod for providing the Vista orb :)

[apaquette420]
