Decided to consolidate all the information in one thread on how to change your start menu icon/speaker/battery and Black EV and 1X icons.

Speaker and Battery Icon
1. First install the sdkcerts.cab found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2791165&postcount=1
2. Install Taskbar%20Icons%20v2.cab from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2837996&postcount=243
3. Install darklord battery metre v2_fixed.cab from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=324
4. To have your battery meter give you actual % such as 33% instead of in increments of 10 install nuePowerDriverCDMADiamond-100-v1.0-cab.cab
Code:

I Installed the above files in the order I put them in and everything works good on my end)](Thanks itouch24) updated 11/13/08
5. To fix the battery % either use a registry editor and change the settings as posted below or install the file from here (no need to do both) http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=512028&postcount=18 (updated 11/11/08 )
6. To fix the HTC Volume Control download the link from here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=512254&postcount=39(Thanks opuscroakus) Open TC and go into /windows rename the HTCVolumeControl.dll to HTCVolumeControl.dll.bak use TC to place the new .dll file into /windows and soft reset. After this you can delete the .bak one. (updated 11/11/08 )
[/COLOR]

**If you just want the battery meter then download the phcanOverbmp.zip open TC and rename your current one in /windows to phcanOverbmp.dll.bak, change your registry to make it working correctly (see below for settings) once you have done this, drop the new phcanOverbmp.dll you downloaded into /Windows and and softreset. After this you can delete the old .bak one**

Make sure your registry says the following:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:65 (Hex) or 101 (Dec)
"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:3e9 (Hex) or 1001 (Dec)
"BaseDll"="phcanOverbmp.dll"
"BaseId"=dword:0 updated 11/12/08


For Black EV and 1X Icons
1. For the Black EV and 1X Icons download http://www.filefactory.com/file/ca2339/n/tapres_192_dll use TC to change your old tapres.192.dll to tapres.192.dll.bak then using TC place the downloaded copy into /windows, next soft reset and you can go back in and delete the .bak one




For the Custom Start Menu Icon (If you don't want the HTC Start Icon that comes with Taskbar%20Icons%20v2.cab )
1. Install Icone Demarrer.cab found herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426264
2. The icon I have is found herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2753669&postcount=203 (read post #2 in this link for other custom start icons)
3. You will have to rename whatever one you download from shellres.192.dll.0409.mui to shellres.192.dll , after this open TC and go into /windows rename the current shellres.192.dll to shellres.192.dll .bak or .old then place the one you downloaded and renamed into the /windows and soft reset. Once you have done this then you can go back in and delete the .bak one.

***THIS IS FOR BOTH QVGA/VGA

thanks dash, i had no problem changing the 'START' button on my MOGUL. all i did was use resco explorer and copy past the 'shellres.XXX'(pre-made icons) in the 'WINDOWS' folder...

im working on making my own start image and if it comes out good ill start taking requests for qvga, and if i can find a vga tester that would be great... :blob6:
 
for some reason the batterry icon says 20% when the phones fully charged. i followed the instructions and use the nuepowerdrivers thing as well but still starts at 20% when fully charged any ideas?

Help!!! Somehow my icons got screwed up after i installed step number 3... Now i get only the left half of the signal meter and nothing to the right of it before the task manager icon. Is there a way to return to the default icons? I tried to uninstall all the cabs but no luck...

probably because the ones in the cab are for vga and you have a qvga screen, just maybe though, because that it the same problem i faced so i uninstalled
 
the replace icon perfectly works on the htc touch.

hey dash im juss wonderin if you tested out the change start text, did you actually get it to work? coz if you visit the thread you can actually do it. and like it was complicated coz you had to use Mssigner or something. im juss wondering if you actually pulled it off?
