+Precacher tool
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+Step 1:
+Ensure the skins folder has series60skin_MIFList.txt. Compile \s60\mw\uiresources\skins\AknSkinContent to generate if its not present
+
+Step 2:
+Run IconId.pl
+usage: IconId.pl MIFList-file build-path out-file
+
+Example
+Y:\>IconId.pl Y:\s60\mw\uiresources\skins\AknSkinContent\generated\scalableseries60skin\data\series60skin_MIFList.txt y: iconlist.csv
+
+This generates the icon enum, major, minor number, icon id in iconlist.csv
+
+Step 3:
+Define the MACRO's for precacher, 
+Macro PRECACHE2 should be defined to enable the precacher.
+Macro PRECACHELOG should be defined to get the traces generated
+To define the macro put the below code in AknIcon.mmp(in folder \s60\mw\uiresources\uigraphics\AknIcon\group)
+
+MACRO PRECACHE2
+MACRO PRECACHELOG
+#define PRECACHELOG
+
+Generate the build, flash the phone
+Now start the phone open all the applications whose icons you wish to precache
+This creates the trace file logs\AknIconPreCacher\Traces.txt (create the folder AknIconPreCacher if not already present)
+
+
+Step 4:
+Run IconLoads.pl
+usage: iconlist iconloads out-file
+
+Example
+Y:\>IconLoads.pl iconlist.csv Y:\epoc32\winscw\c\logs\AknIconPreCacher\Traces.txt resources.rss
+
+This generates the resource file in the required format
+
+Step 5:
+Copy the contents of the resource file (resources.rss in this case) into AknIconSrv.rss.
+it will be in the folder \s60\mw\uiresources\uigraphics\AknIcon\srvsrc.
+
+RESOURCE ARRAY r_precache_list2
+    {
+    items =
+        {
+	// copy the icon list here
+        };
+    }
+
+Step 6:
+Compile the AknIcon code, the macro PRECACHE2 should be defined (if not already done)to enable precaching
+uncomment (or remove ) the macro definition for PRECACHELOG.
