Skype not too happy

I have got everything working with ozVGA (V happy) except Skype. It loads but only uses the small part of the screen & is therefore not much use.

Any workarounds ?

what vga files are you using ? and with waht rom ?

it was working ok before i did the rom upgrade...

now i copy the dll files and resources and usa ozvga as always and i get this strange behavior.

guys

there is a WEB BROWSER that runs in VGA mode..

and it DOES NOT require you to change/modify any settings on your device.

it is called Mozilla "Minimo". It is very early in development and even a somewhat sluggish, but it is very much "functional".

personally, I would prefer having VGA for additional applications, such as Adobe Reader, Word & Excel..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] zedino:
Opera 8.60

Opera works perfectly in VGA mode even if you have your device in standard factory VGA, for me that is quite enough, browsing with Opera is perfect, the only problem is PocketExcel worksheet, just to solve running Excel in 640*480 while device is in standard, and i will be happy

I'd forgotten about VJNina. I'm working on another couple of cute fonts. I've got a fabulous fixed width 6point font. Very clear, but it's fixed size. Will try to convert it to a ttf and try it out.

I had speculated many years ago about the possiblity of converting the great ThunderHawk bitstream font to a standard ttf. I started doing it, but then got bored. But if anyone wants to help, that'd be a great help to the community I think.

I have installed ozVGA.cab taken here on my JasJar with AKU3.2_b4 ROM by Ivan. It seems to work fine but some minor graphic problems. I tested it with WADesktop, and really it seems to be not very usefull with this application since you can structure your desktop/Virtual Page resolution with program itself, simply acting with graphics, icons and text.

While it is very usefull with PIE working with MultiIE.

I saw that default ratio for ozVGAmode is 1.5...but really it's difficult to use it...too small.

Can someone suggest a "middle way" ratio?

Superb!!!!!!!!! Just installed this yesterday and it is awesome. One quick question; there are two versions of the files that I have found

VGA 1824 071105 and

VGA_AKU2

The first one is older than the second and has more windows files, are the extra files needed or can I just use the latest ones?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
david beckham: why did you drop out as captain? Obviously you've got your eyes on other pursuits, phones!

Anyway, just drop it into windows\fonts

You can use the normal nina.ttf font if you have bags of memory and storage space, but VJNina was a modified version I made for my P900, which has many esoteric characters removed. But it should work fine on English language phones, and will save mucho memory.

I thought it over for a few hours and it seemed that its best for the country that I drop out as captain. Anyway, John Terry did a good job as an England captain in the 4-0 trouncing of Greece.

yeah...just to confirm, what I need is just to put it in the \Windows\fonts folder and do a soft reset??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
I don't think you need to soft reset, but you need to be able to modify your theme to use the new font. I use cetuner, but there are other apps, and just the registy even, to change the font.

Journal Bar VGA

Don't know if this is useful...

I was having problems with Journal Bar in VGA mode, it was very small and icons all messed up, even with their supposed VGA fix on the omega one website. I emailed them and they told me this:

Navigate to the folder where Journal Bar is installed on your Pocket PC (usually \Program Files\OmegaOne\JournalBar).

Go to the Res folder underneath this.

Rename all the "VGA..." files to something else (as a backup).

Rename all the "QVGA..." files to "VGA...".

Soft reset

This certainly cleared up the icons issue. Journal Bar is still really small but looks a lot better.

Just waiting on a reply from them to see if they will ever let you change the font size on it.

problem showing volume icon

Hi all,..

after applying the qzvga I cannot see the signal strength and the volume icon on my device. It was visible in the original t-mobile rom. Now aftsre updating my device with the new jasjar rom qzvga isn't working correct.

* I've copied all the files to the windows folder (including hidden files)

* I've run the sdkcerts cab file

When I go into qzvga mode these icons (only the volume and signal strength) are not shown, but the signal strength is blinking...

When I use the volume key on my device the signal balloon pops up, no volume settings are set.

When I go back into the standard vga mode these problems are gone, only in qzvga mode I've got these problems.

I've tried:

a hard reset, and re- installed the device, no success

I've tried:

1. run sdkcerts.cab on ur device

2. copt all files into your windows folder (found in the zip file)

NOTE: if u r using default file explorer on ur ppc, make sure you choose "show all files" in your menu....(otherwise ur dlls are hidden) before u do a select all -> copy -> paste into windows folder

3. run ozvga.exe

4 choose settings -> vga btn

5 soft reset, n u shud see all of it

no success

(note: I don't know what point 4, choose settings -> vga btn means, cant find a btn option there..)

The Rom i'm using is:

I-mate JASJAR AKU 3.2 Rom Update 1.90.94

Seems like I'm doing something wrong,...Can someone help me out?

Ok, i've just VGA'ed my uni and i'm 95% impressed, as far as i am concerned the fonts are perfectly readable.

Although there are a few problems:

1. Battery icon always showing low bat (with !) despite battery having plenty of charge.

2. Backlight settings, some text is too big and overlapped by other smaller text, also dropdown box is out of scale. (applies to all tabs in backlight)

3. Power settings, pretty much the same as above

4. Device lock today plugin icon missing & Wireless today pluging icon missing

5. Active sync background image out of scale (ok i know it doesnt really matter but its nice to have everything looking nice)

6. Phone dial buttons (ok we all know about this one)

7. windows media black bar between soft key bar and play controll bar (again not a big prob but would be nice to fix if possible)

Are there any fixes for these probs?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Gaston111:
Here's a repack of the original vga_1824_071105_799.zip, with the files for AKU2 added in.

The reason to use OzVGA over RealVGA? Easy:

RealVGA doesn't work on WM5. OzVGA does. And as long as we're waiting for a WM6 build with fully working VideoCall functionality, I'm not upgrading.

All the other useful tools are working with WM5 already (e.g. the SDHC patch), so the only reason to step up for now would in fact be RealVGA.

So there. :)

SO fast: Copy files to \windows (20 seconds), copy across .cab and run (30 seconds), copy across and run ozVGA.exe. Machine reboots and you're in VGA (1 minute). Run ozVGA again and u reboot and ur back into wank-VGA.

U can swap between the 2 modes, or u can change to VGA and start working on changing your settings for themes, fonts, and phone pad to get a fully working device.

This is great! Works like a charm. I agree it would be best if this was just for IE as it makes everything a bit small on the rest of the system. Is there a browser that runs in VGA mode?

To get it working I copied all the files over to the root of my device (I kept the .dlls in the 'Copy to Windows' folder. Once on the device, I highlighted and copied and pasted all the .dll files into the Windows folder using File Explorer. I had to do this a the Windows folder didn't show up when exploring the device using activesync (but it does on File explorer on the device itself).

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dherrero:
It is nice.....I hope my eyes dont lose their health......
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
So, as explained in the other thread about VGA, this solution means that we're using a certificate system that leaves our Universals rather insecure since it bypasses the built-in WM5 signed DLL system (or something). This is necessary to ensure that WM5 doesn't reject the DLLs we're copying over. Or something... ;)

But what are the consequences of this for us in the real world? What risk are we actually taking? Does it just mean that someone could write some malicious code and trick us into installing it as a system DLL on our Universals and that WM5 wouldn't prevent this?

If so, I don't think we're taking a huge risk. What do y'all think?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
I dont think its a big problem, aslong as your careful where you get your software from. and whats the worst that can happen, have to hard reset to sort JJ back out again.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rilot:
As far as securiyy is concerned it puts us back to the level of WM2003SE where there was no DLL signing at all.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sergeantash:
I think your screenshots have convinced me, going to have a go tonight - how long before someone compiles this switching process into a mini application together with a proper install routine that backs up any system files replaced during the install?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Exactly. WM5 has not been out for long, and we're all just getting used to signed code I guess. If a developer has a certificate he wants to use to finish it off, I guess he/we could do that, but for now, I guess we all just have to trust each other :wink:!

Can the dpi not be changed dynamically? Does it always require a reboot? can you send out a systemchange message or similar to force the system to redraw at qvga dpi on request?

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
no system files are replaced, only added to, anything with a .96. is an addition to the universal, but its standard on the qvga devices that run wm5.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sergeantash:
Ahhhhh ok, might give this a go now then, hehe!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Err... there are no files replaced during install... You can always delete the files you copied over any time. I'm not sure how you'd uninstall the certificate CAB though. :?:

And the switching process is as simple as running OzVGA and waiting for the machine to soft-reset. How much simpler would you like it? :)

Edit: Yeah, what Carnivor said ;)
