for the original theme credits to JCKOTZE

On 26/5 I updated every theme with some settings adjustmens (the most noticeble is a little increase of the indented area and so a more WP7 proportioned icon grid) and added few wallpapers inside icons folder.

Since I've seen only fully black backgrounds in all WP7 UI (really boring) , I put a themed wallpaper as default background, but you can easily switch to another one of your choice or to a solid color.

INSTALLATION

1 - Install a WM metro skin

2 - Install iPhoneToday

3 - Copy contents of attached "WP7 Theme" folder into iPhoneToday program folder; black, red and GTX theme here,

4 - Restart Iphonetoday​

NOTES

- Added clean screen (last picture)

- this theme is made for WVGA-VGA devices, for different screen sizes you need to edit (not necessary all)

settings->screen->icon width

settings->screen->Offsetts->R value (it's the indented area and affects the horizontal icons spacing)

settings->screen->Text Settings->text height (it's the vertical spacing between icons)​

- to switch to a solid color background go to options->wallpaper-> delete the selected wallpaper name and leave the selection blank, then select a color from the bottom selector.

- Check out iPhoneToday thread for more commands to associate with icons (e.g. start menu,custom rotation angle, soft reset, open a specific email account... ecc.)

- If you install iPT as "today plugin", you can use nueNoBar to hide bottom bar , I quickly tested on WM6.5.5 and works, but can't say about battery draining, I prefer to have a metro bottom bar

- I suggest to use uTask to make this UI smarter
​

Please attach here your own icons sets ;)

theme is great, how do you get the contact hub to animate or show the pictures of your contacts ??
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
you should check in iPhoneToday thread, I don't remember if animated images are supported, to get your contact pictures you have to edit the icon image
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
thank you, i will check it to see if animated contact hubs are supported. great job and amazing work
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
I add here a new version of icons.xml , works for all theme colors .

Now if iPhoneToday is srcolled, leads to clean screen (to appreciate your wallpapers) with only visible time,date,notifications.

In fact are icons, without images, and if pressed nothing happens, (to delete notification you have to scroll up and use a visible icon).

If you want to have this without overwrite your own icons.xml edit iPT settings and add icons as in last picture example.
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
i couldnt find anything regarding animated hubs in the thread, is there a script that can do this ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
WM metro skins

These WM 6.5.x skins are based on Sir sternas work
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
More green theme

edited 2 icons, if someone doesn't like the red versions on green theme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] atjep:
Very nice theme, the simplicity is awsome... could you please, please, please make the QVGA version. Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
sorry but I've only a wvga device, you ,or another qvga user, could try editing the settings.xml (it should be all in there) to fit the theme on your device ,and upload it here
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
more skins

a standard WP7 skin by nickschot ,a blue dark based on jeffrey2000 ipad skin and a green dark from kenchan2009
[Windows Mobile Themes] atjep:
Ooh... I don't know how to edit the setting.xml... I'll wait other QVGA user(s)... anyone?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
you can do it directly from iPhoneToday settings, if the iPT icon is not displayed on your QVGA screen jus press for a couple of seconds on the screen -in an area without icons- it will appear a menu-> chose options-> screen and try different icon width and offsets values
[Windows Mobile Themes] atjep:
Yeaaah...! that's work... Thank You.

I just copy the WP7 to the iPhoneToday... the icon width change itself to 90. Before this i just change the icon & set the icon width but the icon placed on the middle of the screen. With your Setting.xml my icon is left indent... look very nice, once again Thank You So Much.

Do you have more WP7 icons?
[Windows Mobile Themes] alele828:
The Taskbar is beautiful! Can you share it to me?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
hi, the upper taskbar is stock (just have a new battery icon included in HD2 Artemis ROM), the bottom one is included in attached WM themes
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
glad to read ,could you please post a screenshot?

I used this set as base (cropped, edited size, colors, text..) ,here a different style, but you find tons in the web.

Search, collect your set and of course share it here ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] reeshmd23:
awesome theme way to go my new fave, how hard would it be to make a live weather tile? or message or phone calls show 0 until you get a call and the tile changes not the bubble pop up
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
hi, this is not possible I think, check on iPhoneToday thread, cause this UI displays only simple icons, not true tiles

same as above, is just a phone icon, notifications come from windows OS.

If you don't like bubbles you can change settings to display only numbers:

settings->bubbles->type=notif image=bubbles\notif .

I setted bubbles cause I find them more noticeable and eye candy than a plain number
[Windows Mobile Themes] LondiBoy:
very nice, thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
new colors: black, red and GTX
[Windows Mobile Themes] reeshmd23:
cool thanksfor the info, i have searched everywhere does anyone know how to get rid of the bottom bar when your using this as a today theme
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
.... UPDATED ....
[Windows Mobile Themes] nnana:
gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
for interested user here's a weather tile option.

I did not test and include into the theme cause it requires to install some apps and set it, try it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
The "full screen" option works only if you run iPT as an .exe, not in "today" installation, taskbar and bottom bar are part of windows OS, but don't look so bad using attached skins .

EDIT: ON POST #1 SOMETHING INTERESTING ABOUT THIS
[Windows Mobile Themes] Ruica:
Very cool, thank`s:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] reeshmd23:
can you change time so it displays 12hr and not 24hr? and can you change size of individual tiles?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
sure, go to iPT settings : special icons->type=clock check the "12 hours format" option

no, you can't
[Windows Mobile Themes] reeshmd23:
How come your downloads changed so its not as easy to copy and paste files with folders already and settings to over write
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
sorry, I don't understand, could you explain?
[Windows Mobile Themes] JCKOTZE:
Been Here on this forum so long ago ,its nice to be back, you do the theme proud.

Good Work
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
thanks to you for the good idea :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
I use RapidRead to read xda forums, so I made these icons
[Windows Mobile Themes] spithash:
Thank you for your nice theme!

Is it easy for you to make some live tiles?

It would be great ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tung91:
Green preview is best . :cool:
[Windows Mobile Themes] jjollyroger:
sorry but I think it's not possible (check iPhoneToday thread), this UI works with normal icons

also once you setted your favourite icons ,you can quickly switch to another color (since icons names -except for GTX theme- are the same for every color, just a copy a different theme icons folder and settings.xml and paste into iPT program folder)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ma3ou2:
tnx honey

so niceeeeeeeee
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Donketdaz:
hey guys, getting some errors on my first rom install i did last night so gonna replace my 2gig micro sd card, the one that came free with the phone.

seen this on ebay, any advice recommendations would be very much appreciated

Joyflash 16GB Micro SD HC Card Class 10

£16.99
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
i would recommend searching as there is litterally hundreds of posts on this

but whilst im here, i wouldnt bother with that

Here is the truth of the matter,

There is no confirmed cards available on the market (potentially AT&T are selling one branded for it but it costs quite a bit and i dont know anyone thats had one)

Second thing, there is no confirmed working cards on the market ( yes repeating was intentional)

The only confirmed card is one that has been tried in a Device and has been proven to work

You have just as much luck getting a card working than one that doesnt however you can increase your chances of getting one that works by sticking to class 2 or 4

im not going in to the details of why... but that is not to say a class 10 wont work, many people have had them working, but it appears that class 2 and 4 have a higher chance of working.

Brand doesnt mean anything, some folk are saying sandisk are the best, however from my point of view this isnt the case as 2 of my cards that dont work are sandisk, inshort it depends on many things which ultimately brings teh whole thing down to luck!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] argentocruz:
My 16gig Class 2 Sandisk works fine... OS didn't reject it, I get no errors and I get no chugging when viewing sizable video files off the card (1.8gig rip of avatar for instance)...

This is strange as in the same HD2 with the stock WM 6.5 ROM, the card was slow as hell and even populating views for pictures and videos was hell slow...

I ordered a class 6 via eBay so I can diskcopy to the faster card but I'm know its only for my peace of mind...

A class 4 or 6 should do the job but stick to better brands such as Sandisk or Kingston...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
WM was crippled by poor driver support, the HD2 at the time of its launch had an amazing graphics potential but we never had drivers, even the XDA ones were only touching the surface of its potential, WP7 uses that potential hence when graphics and video seem more fluid, its a shame, WM is an amazing OS if it only had some TLC, i believe thats why MS has had to lock down the WP7 OS because carriers / HTC / QC screwed WM and the irony was that MS got the blame for it all

whoops sorry posted in wrong thread, your right back on topic!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] argentocruz:
Not wanting to go too far off topic, I'll say this...

When using an 8gig no-name card I had no troubles with old WM... It only slowed when using the 16gig Class 2 Sandisk...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
its luck, i dont think people understand that, perhaps because we all operate on here in a world full of 1's and 0's.

personally i think it just highlights that companys will put on a shelf anything they like of minor but questionable levels of quality

I just picked up this Built NY sleeve from overstock for $1.09 + free shipping. To get free shipping, like them on facebook, then click Coupons on their page. It measures 8.8" x 11.4" x 1", should be here Saturday/Monday and I'll let everyone know how it fits. I figured it would be worth a try for $1. :)

http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Built-NY-Micro-Dot-Notebook-Sleeve/5767305/product.html
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Palinn:
Great price! I didn't think to look on Overstock for sleeves. I wish the enlarged picture was actually "enlarged" so I could see the dot detail better. Do you plan to put your charger and cable in there too?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Jocelyn:
Honestly, I wasn't even looking on Overstock. I saw it available on Amazon for $6 and then searched for it via google shopping, which led me to find this deal. I'll take some photos when it gets here, though its looking more like Tuesday. I may throw the charger inside for long trips, but only if it fits inside nicely. I still can't believe this thing was, and still is, only $1 :)
[EVO 4G General] dahauss:
I had my evo's (003) touch screen die where the main screen didnt light up but the buttons did. I couldnt see anything on the phone but it did work and I could make calls with bluetooth etc.. SO, I took the phone into the store and they replaced the entire screen which includes the front buttons and side volume rocker etc.

HOWEVER, now the bottom buttons (home, back etc) do not work. Has anyone had this issue? Im taking it back for them to put ANOTHER screen on.. I did find this video of almost the same issue I am having:

[YOUTUBE]aHtfNhNrU34[/YOUTUBE]

Im wondering if other had this issue and if there might be a bad batch of replacement panels... The service tech told me I needed to hard reset to get the buttons working and I did and same issue....

Thanks....
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
I have had that happen before even white spots on screen and where it became unresponsive to touch locked up. Had it swapped out and the new one had the screen coming apart. Then the next one wasn't glued on right windex got on the lcd. Got my phone from Asurion and they sent me one with glue all over messed up charger port and the screen had 15 lines running str8 down the center.

I have no idea why but I believe there is a bad batch of panels still running around. Now I have a brand new 0004 evo Asurion gave me after I called and talked to them takes awhile to get through to someone. But worth the 100.

Sprint store always gave me refurbs with big issues always such as screen issues and broken volume button and camera issues.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] darrie1:
i am trying to put apps on sdcard but it says that i dont have enough space on my sd, although i have still 12 gb free

can someone pls help me?

im running slades minicm/cm6 hybrid
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
please delete all hidden folders on the sd card (they start with ".foldername")

of course make backup before.

you might need to redownload some apps then.

This is caused if you had apps in a previous version moved to sd.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] darrie1:
how do i delete them if they are hidden???

thank you
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
The file explorer on the rom shows them or use root explorer. Or in windows set show all files (google how to show hidden folder on windows)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] darrie1:
I am still gettin the same message that i dont have enough space on sd.

Should i format my sdcard?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
First i would suggest to deinstall the apps which are already on sd. Then format sd card (make sure to only have 1 partition).

Then download from market and reinstall the apps. Then move to sd.

This is how i managed it.

(you can goto settings,applications,application administration and click on the sd tab and deinstall apps)
[Desire HD General] sjta3b:
Ok, so as dodgy as this is going to sound to some people, its the truth....

I lost my DHD a few months back and got an insurance claim to replace the phone (thank god, id be lost without it)

So.... 2 days ago my friend was cleaning out their car and found it down the back of the seat (where they promised they had checked before) and gave it back to me.

I went to the shop where I filed the insurance claim (Carphone Warehouse) and tried to hand it back to them, they got the manager who said "This doesn't happen much, we can't take it back, just keep it"

But the phone is blocked, only from calls, it can still be used to access the Android Market etc. Is there any way around this block so I can sell/give it away.

P.S. I promise this isn't a lie and because I tried to give it back, I'm pretty sure its not illegal either.
[Desire HD General] shakadamus:
There would be no legal way for you to unblock it as far as I know, they lock the phone out with it's IMEI number.
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
It has nothing to do with carphone warehouse, if you return the device to working order, you will be defrauding there insurance company! Imo you should just throw it away.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
shakadamus is correct. Once blocked they cannot be legally unblocked.

I'm pretty sure it would be blocked to most of Western Europe now as well, as databases are now shared.

EDIT: Read your insurance documentation, I'm pretty sure it will mention "if you find your phone, return it to us, as legally we now own it" or words to that effect.
[Desire HD General] nlhall:
My phone stopped working around New Year, after many weeks of new SIM's, sending for repairs etc it turned out that someone else had lost their phone, but T-Mobile blocked MY IMEI number. Although it was their mistake it took several weeks to get them to reactivate the phone, so it can be done, but it was not straight forward. As the insurance company has already paid out on your handset, they might not even entertain reactivating it, but it's worth a go, you have nothing to lose in trying.
[Desire HD General] Foladko:
Keep it for spare battery and covers/other parts :)

It would be a loss to just throw it away not to mention stupid.

If WIFI still works and they don't wanna take it back maybe you could still sell it or use it for urself.
[Desire HD General] sjta3b:
Thanks for the advice guys, ill ring the insurance company in the morning to see what they say, other than that, ill probably just keep the battery and chuck the handset, no1 is going to pay anything for a blocked phone and it really is no use to me at all.
[Desire HD General] nlhall:
if the insurance company say you can keep it, just stick it on ebay or something, as long as you are clear that it is a black listed handset you should have no problems, you might be surprised a what some people will pay for some things on there.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
That's what I'd do, I'd strip the covers, battery and even attempt to remove the main board from the unibody case then sell it all as spares, minus the main board.

EDIT: was missing the bolded key word
[Desire HD General] AndriodLover:
Throwing it away is pretty stupid lol, like the others said strip it for parts ..
[Desire HD General] LeatherFace:
i will buy it off u mate.. would u sell it ?
[Desire HD General] Alistair25:
If wifi etc works, use it as a mini laptop for around the house? *stirring*Or use it for all those times we have to put our DHD's on the charger!!!*stirring* :p

[Desire HD General] sjta3b:
I will sell this to anyone who wants wants to buy it, contact me via PM if you're interested, but it would have to go on ebay for safety/security reasons, I wouldnt sell via a forum (im sure its against the rules too).

Or if anyone can find me a high profile dev who will put it to good use they're more than welcome to it, tell them to contact me again via PM.

I live in the UK so would rather post it to someone not too far from the UK or Ireland, esp if its a dev as I wont be asking money.
[Desire HD General] strauts:
I would buy it, if I know its not locked on my operator. But I don't have money right now.

[Droid X General] TazVegas:
A few questions.....will my 4gb card work from my Eris to DX or will I have to format it. I have music on it at my backed up apps from Titanium Backup. How great is the 8gb internal memory.....probably will not have to switch out memory cards then. Can't wait to switch to DX in a couple of weeks. Is everyone here going to get the Gingerbread update? I love Gingerbread that is on my Eris. What are the pros and cons of your DX.....interested in some feedback....going to get my phone from Wirefly....how are they?
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
You're card will work and I would recommend flashing to gingerbread. I have no idea what that wirefly thing is
[Droid X General] TazVegas:
Wirefly.com.......the alternate phone store for all carriers.
[Droid X General] snwagner:
I would definately recommend wirefly, especially on a phone like the DX in it's timeframe.. u can get it for free :) The DroidX is coming a long way. personally, my favorite ROM is Liberty GB. Check it out when you get it. YOU DO NOT NEED APPS2SD with the Droid X, 8gb of internal is plenty :) LOL. I had an Eris before DroidX. Love the droidx comapred to Eris. I can actually listen to radio, talk on the phone, and text/IM someone lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pinkthesink:
Gentlemen,

There was an app for the captivate called sgs tools, which among other things allowed quick access to hidden carrier codes (*#*#0011*#, etc) one of the codes allowed you to not only specify wcdma, but also the band. I tried that code, but it was not recognized.

Does anyone know how or if it's even possible to lock on to a specific band?

be expected to fail?

2) Are there any steps I can take as a user to prevent/postpone a USB connector problem?

Between broken soldering in the phones port and malforming of the terminal end on the cable I'd say it's the most common hardware problem for the X10 followed by faulty boards. My cable got messed up when my dog tripped over it while my phone was charging causing my phone to be ripped off the table and fly halfway across the room and deforming the terminal end in the phone. I had to buy a new cable which actually is ~3x better than the stock one anyways. I would say that it's not a chronic problem but one that is preventable but I would also say it seems like everyone with these issues ends up on XDA!
