ive posted somewhere what font settings ive got in ozvga, not purrfect but getting better.

ive not noticed my dialogs appear wrongly, these are part of ozvga settings.

the pin screen - havent got a clue how to fix that one, on mine its the same hight as the original, just half the width, so the buttons are skinny, quite possibly fixable if we can find out how its written

the phone dialler i think can be fixed, from what buzz and the chaps have done already it could well be a hex edit to correct, or even create new skins, i am able to change the dialler background just by reg tweak, ( its in wiki) and buzz's site goes on about other reg keys that arnt there by default.

the on screen keyboard, poss fixable, if the skinning can be fixed, i tried buzz's keyboard skins and they didnt appear to work on the universal.

Calculator, vijay555 is writing a calc himself, i'll be assuming its gonna be of kickarse standard and have alot more than the default calc in it, with all the extra resolution, full blown scientific could be managable.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sergeantash:
Wow, I'm up and running! that was quick...a little scary but very easy!

Guide for newbies to this...

1. Soft reset your Universal first to clear any locks

2. Unzip the entire archive onto your PC into a single directory

3. Copy ALL of the files into your PocketPC's Windows directory

4. Run the SdkCerts.cab included in the files.

5. Create a shortcut to the ozVGA.exe file within your Windows Directory and place into Start Menu

6. Startup ozVGA and click the lower lefthand button

7. Your device will restart in your new resolution!

Hope this helps, I'm a happy man now...although in a week I'm sure my eyes will be straining, hehe
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Carnivor - wow, that's high expectations!

I'll look into scientific calfculator stuff. This has to go on my list of stuff to do though, so please don't expect it too soon. I'm sure others will put themselves on the block before I do, but I think frankly, an abacus would be better than the current effort, so I'll get around to it.

Pin screen should be doable: anyone up for writing a new one? I am hoping to, but again, way down my list!

Also phone dialer, eventually, but don't tell anyone yet! Some way off for now. I'm only getting an hour a day to program this stuff after work!

VGA files

Hi Carnivor and the all others

Could you tell me if the naming of the files (for VGA) *.96.* is screen resolution or language related or something else?

I've got a M5k in german :? and all those files to be replaced have *.192.*

THX

Cheers, AGGA
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sergeantash:
Wooops, sorry just added that - what exactly does SdkCerts.cab do then? I have looked but can't find an exact description?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
Re: VGA files

theyre resolution related, although they could be language related aswell, your best bet is to find a german that has a blueangel or summut running wm5 and get the .96. dlls off them, if you have tried these and theyre wrong language, on the universal, these files dont replace anything, theyre just additions

Vigay, i have faith in you!!!!! :)

I'll have a look myself tonight about the dialler skin.

SdkCerts.cab removes the dll certification required, putting your phone into a developer mode as such, so you dont need to register the dll's
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Re: VGA files

The number 96 or 192 relates to the scaling of the display in the two modes: VGA (genuine) and VGA (scaled). The WM5 version in the OS that comes with the Universal contains the files suited for a scaled VGA display, i.e. with 640x480 pixels but with most on-screen elements resized to show at normal size on these machines' screens. The new files in the Zip archive are designed to show these elements at their genuine pixel size, which will make them appear very small when the screen is set to true VGA.

Basically, your OS needs both sets of files if you want the option to run at either scaled VGA (as default) or true VGA (as the hack allows).

I don't know exactly what the .92 and .192 refer to, but there's an entry in the registry with the same value choices, so I guess it tells the system the number of dpi to display or something. :?:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
192 and 92 relates to the dots per inch

What software are you running?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BrettS:
Re: VGA files

Are you sure that's what it does? I thought it simply installed a 'test' SDK trusted certificate. That way, when developers are testing applications they can sign them with the SDK certificate instead of getting a 'real' certificate.

The security hole that everyone is talking about happens because theoretically anyone could go out and get the SDK and sign their virus or other 'bad' application with it. Since our devices now trust the SDK certificates, they won't prompt us with a certificate warning for those apps. But that only applies to apps that people have signed using the SDK certificate.

Not really good at this...but I simply downloaded the link on the first page of this topic, "VGAmessengerdlls.rar". Then I extracted the files and placed them into the root folder. Once that was done since windows folder doesn't show via activesync I used file explorer to copy clip the entire extracted "windows folder files" folder into the windows folder and ran the cab file at the root folder. Did I do something wrong?

Browse arrow and lock symbol? What are these?

Are you trying this hack on Windows Mobile 5 on a Universal? (Might sound like a silly question, but I'm curious :) ) If so, what are the icons you're referring to and what do they normally do? In the task bar on my Universal I've got the Start menu flag and title, then a wide space ;), then the connection (GPRS, WiFi, ActiveSync) icon, then the phone status icon, then the speaker/volume icon, then the date/time and finally a space or the OK/close button (depending on the screen I'm in).

Dunno whether this is useful to you guys, but the default skin of the phone is much, much better with full VGA than the O2 skin. Although the buttons are too small for finger use, they don't overlap and the text is the right size. It's all readable.

Apologies if you know this already or if you're not using the O2 skins, but there must be many people using the O2 Exec with the skinned phone app who don't know that it's much better in VGA mode without the O2 skin. :idea:

VGA skin for the phone dialler

I'm not sure it's something as simple as changing the phone skin. Surely the skin just recolours the buttons - it doesn't change their position?

Have we tried the old (.192) phone dll with the new screen settings, but perhaps with a renamed file?

e.g. To get VGA we set the dpi at 96 in the registry and now the system is looking for phone.96.dll (or whatever the file is called) but this gives us really small buttons.

What if we took the old phone.192.dll and renamed it to phone.96.dll? Would the system look for the file, find it all signed and happy, and then use that to display the old large-button phone pad?

What is the correct file in the zip in this thread that affects the phone? Does anybody know?

Hi guys,

well, i didn't read the entire topic, but it seems to me, that you use ozVGA here... right???

If you go to:

[HKLM\Drivers\Display\GPE]

there are:

LogicalPixelsY=dword:C0

LogicalPixelsX=dword:C0

That is 192 (dpi).

Just change both to 96 (decimal) or 60 (hex), that is 96 dpi.

After reboot your screen will be in very high resolution.

i use 128 dpi, coz it's fine or me.

With the setting above, there's no need for ozVGA.

if you are missing icons, just copy the VGA files posted here over to your \Windows directory. Their filenames must match the resolution, you use.

So if you set the registry to 144 dpi, then you must rename all VGA files from:

filename.96.dll to filename.144.dll

System looks up the display resolution and tries to load corresponding resource files on boot...
