and also the background of the start menu became all black..
cant see my wallpaper..~
anyway i'm using touch flo3d v2.1..does this matter..?
had to restore the original shell32.exe..><
what am i doing wrong now..? T_T

So sad ! It did not work on 23659 ! Could somebody help me ? Thanks!

Hello,

Remember you have to replace both Shell32.exe AND the .cpr files...

Now, build 23659 is WM 6.5.5. Maybe it needs to start from the original Shell32.exe and modifiy it, but since I don't know where the file Ultrashot modifed comes from, I can't compare the original and the modified versions to figure out what to change in another shell.

Too bad ultrashot seems less and less active here on this forum - or maybe just on Windows Mobile ?

Exactly.
About shell - it's from com3, so it does not fit to com5.

Ok, so if anybody knows what original file did Ultrashot modify, I'd be able to make a modified Com5 Shell32.exe...

The whole process of modifying is documented in patch_howto.txt

Shame on me, I didn't notice this file !

OK, then, I'll be able to test and try a COM5 version, as I have an HD2 running under WM 6.5.5 (its touchscreen digitizer is broken into hundreds of pieces, but still functional - currently waiting for replacement parts).

Thanks !

I put both shell32 and cpr file into \windows ,it could not work , but at last , I put them into ROM kitchen and build a ROM , great , it worked well ! And so surprised, when I modularized shell32.exe , it could not work too .
I think original 23659 Shell32.exe will work better .

The file you want to work on must be either extracted form a .nbh ROM file or directly from the XIP archive.

I didn't test yet (my HD2 uses a COM3 ROM), but here is the modified 23659 (link below). Who wanna try ?

The pattern to look for was the same as for COM2 (0FE0A0E1 13FF2FE1 A03F80E0 C330A0E1). I found and replaced 3 occurrences : I hope it was the right thing to do !

In the following archive, you'll actually find 4 versions, each of them containing the patched files in module form + the recmoded and signed exe : please remove the exe and the sign log file if you are to use the modules in a kitchen to build a ROM, or just copy the exe to your \Windows folder using Total Commander or Resco.

The four versions contained in the zip archive are :

- Original shell32.exe (I put it there mainly to offer a plain exe form - plus it's signed) in case someone needs it

- Squared shell32.exe

- Transparent softkey bar shell32.exe (to use with matching ayghell.dll for transparent taksbar)

- Squared AND transparent shell32.exe

If I judge from the fact the COM3 modified shell32.exe worked with any COM3 ROM build, this one should logically work with any COM5 ROM.

I'll try it on my wife's HD2 when I'll be back home... Hoping I won't brick it ! She doesn't currently use it anyway as she broke the glass touchscreen digitizer into hundreds of shards... They're still glued to the LCD screen BTW, and the digitizer is still working perfectly - except its like using a razor's edge as a touchscreen ! Still waiting for the replacement parts...

THANK you very much ! I will have a try right now !
