Rename Application

Hi,

Here is the procedure to change application name.


1. In .mmp file
Change TARGET from OldAppName.exe to NewAppName.exe

START RESOURCE AppName.rss
HEADER
//TARGET AppName_0xE9950119 // Change to NewAppName
TARGETPATH resource/apps
END //RESOURCE

START RESOURCE AppName_reg.rss
TARGET AppName_0xE9950119_reg // Change to NewAppName_reg
TARGETPATH /private/10003a3f/apps
END //RESOURCE

2. In OldAppName.rss

RESOURCE LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO r_localisable_app_info
{
short_caption = “OldAppName”; // change to NewAppName
caption_and_icon = 
CAPTION_AND_ICON_INFO
{
caption = “OldAppName”; // change to NewAppName

number_of_icons = 1;
icon_file = "//resource//apps//OldAppName.mif"; // NewAppName.mif
};
}

3. In Icons_scalable_dc.mk
ICONTARGETFILENAME=$(TARGETDIR)/OldAppName.mif // NewAppName.mif

4. In OldAppName_reg.rss file

#include <OldAppName.rsg> // NewAppName.rsg

UID2 KUidAppRegistrationResourceFile
UID3 _UID3

RESOURCE APP_REGISTRATION_INFO
{
app_file="OldAppName"; // NewAppName
localisable_resource_file = "//resource//apps//OldAppName"; // NewAppName
localisable_resource_id = R_LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO;

embeddability=KAppNotEmbeddable;
newfile=KAppDoesNotSupportNewFile;
}



5. In COldAppNameAppUi
Change this line where ever you find in your project
#include <OldAppName.rsg> // NewAppName.rsg


6. In .sis file
; standard SIS file header
#{"OldAppName"},(0xE9950119),1,0,0
// NewAppName

"$(EPOCROOT)Epoc32/release/$(PLATFORM)/$(TARGET)/OldAppName.exe" -"!:/sys/bin/OldAppName.exe"

"$(EPOCROOT)Epoc32/data/z/resource/apps/OldAppName.mif" -"!:/resource/apps/ OldAppName.mif"
// NewAppName.mif

"../help/AppName_0xE9950119.hlp" -"!:/resource/help/AppName_0xE9950119.hlp"
