ultimate launch

Hi,

I really like this them and i would like to install it on my P3300. I have followd all the install instructions but when i get to the last "Install ultimate launch etc` i cant because it´s not a valid program it says. Anything i can do about this ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
it is a pc installer not pocket pc, run the program on your desktop and with your device connected to activesync and it will install it on your pocket pc

I am having trouble with the photo speed dial. nothing showed when i installed it...
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
go to your settings/today/items and configure it, you have to add the photo speed dial contacts through the settings
[Windows Mobile Themes] moritz.narnhammer:
Thanks for this great theme!

Have one problem though:

When i try to paste the three HH_FW_frame*.png files into my XDA Star´s (Factory ROM) /windows folder, i get the notification that these 3 files can´t be overwritten (probably because they are part of the factory ROM, i suppose).

Is there a way to overwrite them without having to HardSPL / flash a cooked ROM?

I tried to read up, but didn´t find nything on the thread (perhaps I´m blind :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
try using total commander to copy the files, make sure tht ultimatelaunch and htc home are not activated on your home screen when you do this

2 rows of speed dial?

I have everything working great so far on this marvelous app. I would like to know if there is a way to get 2 rows of speed dial contacts. I had 2 entries below the first row for voicemail, and 411, but nuked those. I can get two identical rows of contacts, but not separate ones. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, what apps do people have running in place of the analog clock? Recommendations for something fun?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ronjoor:
Hi All,

I've been tinkering with this and have struck a problem. I would like to get rid of the tray icons and gain some screen real estate.

There is one icon that I can't get rid of. I don't even know what it is for! It does nothing when I press on it.

Have a look at the attached screenshot. As you can see it is interfering with the battery status plugin and preventing me from using the whole screen.

Any pointers?

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] v5HMeca:
I prefer to have the setup where "Home" shows a clock, and all of the other options (like "weather") hide the clock and show their contents instead. I don't like having a big clock up there all the time.

I'll take a look at it though. I really like the color setup. If it's not hard for me to figure out, I might be able to customize it to my liking.

Thanks for this, by the way. I don't want to sound ungrateful. If anything, I'll at least gain some learning experience by tinkering with this. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
then put the clock plugin in your ultimate launch program, it will only be on one page then. its really easy to customize i dont think ull have a problem
[Windows Mobile Themes] freeflysage:
I know it's easily removed, I was looking for advice on what other people have in its place.

Any ideas, on the 2 rows for the speed dial contacts?

Thanks again for all the hard work you put into this theme. I got lots of drools from my phone geek friends :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] twe90kid:
any way of getting the install cab to do everything without all these other step by steps?
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
try double tapping it or a tap/hold for a couple seconds. If that doesnt work then check your windows/startup folder and delete any program that you dont want running at startup, that program is problem one of them

working on it
[Windows Mobile Themes] ronjoor:
Yes, it was ZoomSMS. I removed it (couldn't figure out how to get to the setting) and the icon has gone. Lovely!

Thank you for your help. You have saved me many hours of un/reinstalling applications one by one.

i linked that button to windows/pocketcm.exe, if pocketcm is not in your windows folder then it won't work, to solve this you can either move it there or edit the .xml skin file to wherever your pocketcm.exe is located

Ok the bottom 4 icons......The 2 middle ones do the exact same thing.....Open File explorer....How do i edit so one maybe goes to storage card and the other stays with file explorer?
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
yea sorry about that, I didnt bother to change them in version 2.0, just go to your batterystatus folder and open the htc_clear.xml and edit the link for the button called "apps" you should see that right now it points to windows/fexplore.exe. just change that to whatever program you want it to launch.

ALSO: version 3.0 should be out by the end of the week if anybody is interested. Look in the first post for screenshots. Sorry about the wait but my wizard bit the dust and I have a brand new elfin on the way

:cool:, so hang tight and to the Moe5508 who posted the .cab files I really owe you one, thanks a bunch! :D

Cool......thanks.....Im surprised that no one caught that yet.......And yes the cabs helped out tremendously.....Thanks again

[Windows Mobile Themes] Ahc2008:
I had tried to install this theme and so on, by following your instructions on the first page. But it ended up looking like a mess.

Can you help me? :S
[Windows Mobile Themes] ~J~:
The cabs installed it FAR better than the original post, although I admit, I did have a fair bit of work to do (turn off battery monitor from the Today settings and re-jig the order).

Have removed the LG Menu though 'cos I hate it!! :p

But the only serious issue I have, not really connected to the theme as such is the SpeedDialer. It just doesn't show it's making a call, or jumps to the dial screen.

As a result, I rang someone up yesterday just by pressing the button, hoping it would show me it was dialing, but ended up connecting to them without me knowing!

Is there anyway of chaning this? Or better still, is there an alternate speed-dialer that can be plugged in?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Ahc2008:
I still get the problem, even so i use the cabs.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
I dont understand what your problem is....what is active on your today screen besides ultimate launcher and batterystatus? For batterystatus you have to tap/hold on any part of it to bring up the pop up menu, tap the show rows part and untick everything except messages and buttons.

Also, are you using the ultimatelaunch.ini that I provided or no? It shouldn't look like that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
First off the lg menu isnt the actual lg menu ported from the prada that didnt work too well, its just a skinned version of battery status that I made. I don't know if you knew that or if you were saying you just didnt like the way it looked? :(

and yes i noticed that the photo speed dial doesnt show the phone screen when it makes a call. It really is annoying.... but I haven't found a better one that is freeware for now.

Anyway, My elfin arrives in two days so you better believe there are going to be a lot of updates to this theme :D stay tuned
[Windows Mobile Themes] Thimo:
Thank you for this theme! It's a realy nice skin for me!

:cool: thanks!

Did you try installing it with the cab files or the .zip file in the first post? If you follow my directions word for word it will work. Try to take a screenshot of what your today screen looks like and I will see if I can help you out
[Windows Mobile Themes] j4s0ni2ice:
I'm stuck...

While trying to copy the HH_FW files it says that the framefill file is read-only and access denied.

I can't copy over it. Can't delete it... what do I do?
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
put the files on your computer and right click on them and select properties. then untick the read-only box, I had it this way by mistake. Then put the files on your device, not your windows folder. Then use total commander to move the files to your windows folder to overwrite them.

also make sure that ultimate launch and htc home are not active on the today screen when you do this or it will not allow it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] j4s0ni2ice:
OOOO...

I tried everything... I just had HTC Home running... that's what was stopping me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] j4s0ni2ice:
I know people have asked this before... but what are our chances of get this whole process into a .cab, maybe a 6.1 ROM with it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Thimo:
Thank you for your help with the clock! Now it's realy working fine for me!!!

Greets

Thimo
[Windows Mobile Themes] Ahc2008:
The only thing active in today settings is Ultimatelauncher and batterystatus. I used the cabs, so i guess thats the .ini that you provided?
[Windows Mobile Themes] omair2005:
everything is fine up until step 3.

"

3. place all 3 htc home files in your windows directory to overwrite the old ones"

I place the 3 files in the windows dir. but it doesn't ask to overwrite? i continued with each step perfectly and here is wat i end up with.

also tried all cab install. still same story as pic above.
[Windows Mobile Themes] docnas:
@ omair2005 from looking at the picture i can see i have rltoday , ultimate launcher , speed dial and messaging enabled.

To fix it

First of all diable messages and speed dial from the today items setup menu.

Also while you are there move the Rltoday plugin to the top ( or atleast above Ultimate launcher)

As for the weather tab not showing it seems that you dont have HTC home installed, you have to find the proper cab for your phone and install it, also make sure u disable it in the today items menu cuz you cant have it running twice at the same time.

Thats all i can think of try doing that and post your results.
[Windows Mobile Themes] omair2005:
I installed home for the mogul. still getting a weird setup.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
hey you pretty much did it correctly. The only problem is that you have to go to your settings/today/ and there should be an htc home tab on the bottom next to the items tab. If there is, then only enable the weather tab and unselect every other one, right now your device is showing the home tab. If there is no htc home tab on the bottom then you have to download htc home customizer from www.pocketemu.com and delete every tab except for the weather tab. hope that helps
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
Did you unselect the rows I told you to on batterystatus? that should help with your problem, only messages should be enabled if you are using my version 1.0, and if its 2.0 then you should only have messages and buttons enabled. I suggest upgrading to 2.0 if you havent because it works a lot better

I will look into incorporating into a 6.1 rom, I'm still a beginner as far as ROM packaging is concerned but that is a good idea. The cab process is just hard to do because there a multiple programs that need to be installed.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Turboed240:
First, I would like to say this is a great "theme". i do have one question. Why is my wallpaper so light looking. The color is completely off. Its almost a baby blue instead of the darker blue like in the picture. Anyone? I appreciate it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
how are you setting the picture to wallpaper? locate the picture on your device, tap on it so it opens, then in the options tap set as today background, next it will ask about tranparency, set it to 0% and it should look normal.

if that doesnt do it then its the colorize setting in ultimatelaunch, just turn it off
[Windows Mobile Themes] Turboed240:
That did it. Thank you! I was setting it through the today menu. Everything looks great!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mateotti:
Does anyone know where I could find icons matched with this theme? I would like to create a shorcut page with ultimatelauncher and claunch. I found a recent post with icons but it's iphone style icons and I don't like.
[Windows Mobile Themes] loonatic:
1. install BatteryStatusExt.1.04.UPXed.build_0270.CAB and put the htc home.xml and the htchomeskin folder in your batterystatus folder in the windows directory. select htc home as your theme and untick every row except for the "messages" row

2. install rltoday.cab and put the s2u2 folder in your program files/rltoday folder and replace the rltoday.ini with the one i provided.

i cant find the .cab files (battery and rltoday)....can someone explain
[Windows Mobile Themes] dantegl36:
I running Dutty's 6.0 rom and battery status was cooked into this so I didnt install the one included with the zip file here. I can't seem to get the messages row to display properly. I have the Lg thingy at the bottom but no Messages above it. Thanks in advance for any help :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] dantegl36:
P.s. whenever I go to the battery status menu to unclick every menu but messages, the rows are not labeled. Just numbered from 1 to 6. I also tried the Htc_clear files on post 114, but to no avail. Still can't see the messages icons above th LG skin. Thanks!

Update:

Above the Lg Skin there are some numbers. The one in the middle is 0. I just got a text and the number changed to 1. So I believe I have the right rows selected, it just seems as if the messaging thing is not displaying properly. -dantegl36
[Windows Mobile Themes] dantegl36:
I'm kinda spent on this. I've spent the past few hours reading through the past few threads and can't find a remedy to this problem. I don't understand why this isn't displaying properly? Perhaps it's the battery status that was cooked into this rom? No one else has had this problem I guess...

Spence,

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I thought about trying that but was worried about how doing so would affect the one that was cooked in the rom. It works great now and looks beautiful! Awesome piece of work man! -Dante

Oddball,

I've read these post up and down and I believe you have to go to your today settings, click on the "htc home" tab and unclick everything except for the weather tab. I hope that helps.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
your welcome! and yes, you are right about your comment to oddball, go to your today settings

i placed the three files in the //HTChome folder instead of /windows as i m installing "HTChome 2.1 with tab settingin today setting" and in unchecked all except weather tab but it still show the weather tab right below. how to fix it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jonnykid:
Awesome..

HI Spence..

To echo others, an awesome job and have learnt loads through your excellent (and patient) responses.

My setup was pretty much problem free with some minor tweaks. A question or two though (sorry)

1) In the messages line of battery status the icons light up but there are no numbers next to them. Having had a look through the xml file it looks its reading the number, but not displaying. Should i be seeing a number next to each icon for txt email etc?

2) A previous poster talked about changing the links in the LG bar on the bottom. A fairly straight forward process but blimey I'm getting in a mess trying to write the right link so that it is essentially the same as startmenu->Programs. ANyone any ideas on what the link needs to be?

3) Last one.. I'd like to create some link files (new mail etc) for the apps page of Ultimate launch. Any chance of some pointers for this.

4) Not directly related. In S2U2 I can get the HTC home weather figures, but no icon. Have set HTC Home to all defaults using the customiser, but no luck. Sorry, not exactly your theme related probably, but thought I'd ask as you do seem pretty genned up!

Update:

4) Fixed

Q. When ShowWeather set to HTC Weather, it does not show any icon?

A. You're probably running a custom-made HTC Home plugin. Try to figure out where the plugin is installed (e.g. \HTCHome\), then copy all HH_Weather_XXsmall.png files to \Windows\. Restart iLock2.

3) Do a forum search for create shortcut A wealth of information!

Finally.. Looking forward to Release 3. It's looking hot.

@spencepu3

hi, im just trying to set it up step by step. but it all fails! please see the screen shot! really bad!

i just use the aurora.rar files in it and set it up step by step by your instructions. actually, i was very confused about your steps intructions. i don't think its a good idea that get the installation so complicated!

no no no it all fails. im so depressed! i just used one file--aurora.rar

so how about the other two files, auroraV2.rar and Manila.rar files? on the aurora.rar files, i have already failded to installed, how do i continue with the other two files installation? so complicated........did you find a way that put all the things go easier? if you can , we are all really appreciated that! thanks in a million!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] JohnQ:
hi, i forgot to ask!!!! only for VQA device?

how about QVGA!!!!????
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
John it is for qvga only. And I dont know what to tell you about your problems installing it. The steps really are pretty straight forward. From what I can see all you did was install ultimate launch. All the files needed to install this theme are in the aurora.rar, just unzip it and follow my instructions.

the manila.rar is for my new manila theme, there is a screen shot in the first post
[Windows Mobile Themes] tcvaio:
manila

Newbie here.

I can't get the five buttons(htc home)at the bottom screen to appear. What am i missing? I already copy the [htc_clear] and the htc_clear.xml to \windows\batterystatus.

Please advise. thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Fresh2Death:
me too man. i dont kno how to get those icons at the bottom on of the screen. i installed the batterystatus cab that he gave me but all it did was put a clock down there..... no icons. hmmm....
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
once you install it, go into the batterystatus options and go to the advanced tab and select htc_clear as your theme. then go to your main screen and tap/hold on the batterystatus plugin until the popup box appears and go to show rows, and untick everything except buttons. see what that does
