[UTIL] SICC - Sense Icon Cache Clearer

iridium21 · Apr 12, 2010

I don't know if bugs anyone else, but after changing icons with CSMI or JWMD it annoys me that
I have to mess about deleting Sense 2.5's icon cache for my new icons to show up in the quick links.

So, I was looking for an app that did this automatically - I couldn't find one

So, I've written one that deletes the Sense icon cache and then gives you the option of restarting
your phone:

I know it's relatively simple, but you never know, someone else may find it useful...

If you do find this useful and wish to throw me a few pennies then -

Thank you!

(included in the .zip are some Metro style replacement icons for SICC)

Combine

Have you thought of contacting Nullstring and getting this handy app combined with JWMD Icon Changer?

That would be an awesome feature

I was wondering if you can also do a little proggie to clear other Sense caches like past tweets cache, facebook album images, all things that slow down the phone and should be clearead often.

Hi,

This is a nice program, although I got used to clear the Application Data ProgLauncher folder. I have to admit that I didn't test your program, but the screenshot suggests that the phone restarts after clearing cache.

Maybe you can improve this, by just restarting Sense.

Using MortScript, a Sense restart can be done via:

Code:

regWriteDword HKLM, Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Sense, Enabled, 0
RedrawToday

regWriteDword HKLM, Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Sense, Enabled, 1
RedrawToday
Exit

But I'm sure there is a native code version to do that. Good luck!

This same thing was driving me nuts and no matter how i changed the icons they would never change on the program launcher. Fotunately I finally found the solution elsewhere, for me it was because i was using an icon that had the same name as one that was already stored in the Windows folder. Apparently the program launcher will use the one stored in the Windows folder first. So either A. Copy your icon to the windows folder and overwrite the existing one (if you can) or B. Rename the icon all together; i chose option B

I think im going with Option B as well

My problem is other: all icons in the start are okay, but the menu "quick links" no changed the icons of youtube, camera ecc. ( all system icons)

Where do you put the 4 image files that download with the .cab file?

frmariam · May 28, 2010

I'm not a Sense user but...

I've been looking for something similar but meant for the Windows Mobile icon cache (the whole system or just a desired folder). No such luck yet...

Any chance you could do it? Is it even possible (I get the feeling that the setup.dll from cab setups is capable of doing this... may be wrong though)? I surely could use a small (no GUI) exe just for this purpose...

I found this thread with some code snipets which are reported to work for Start Menu (at least in old WM versions) but not being a coder...
