Use your picture viewer and select the background picture, mine in in my documents. press menu, set as Today wallpaper, it will then bring up a screen and make sure the transparency is set to 0. Then it will be black. To change your top and bottom bars to black use tweak UI.

I'm working on converting the whole Manilla Diamond theme to work with I780 320x320. This is a nice theme very complete. It does not have the cube style spinning like UL but it is a nice theme. It is going to take some time to finish this and I will share it here when finished.

On a side note not to take away from this thread but I think it would be a good idea to start a Samsung I780 UI/Theme tread where we can all share the work for others. There are a lot of different themes in this thread alone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
Welcome back, hope your holidays was good!

I agree, there are bits and pieces here and there in this thread. Would be better to consolidate everything into one thread.

To recap, the following programs were modified to fit the i780 with RealVGA.

1. SPB MS 2.1 with Diamond theme (Greatbal)

2. Audio Manager Skin

3. WM Player Skin (poorlyduck)

4. SBSH Pocket Weather (Slikkie) (Modified to be used with UL) Can still be used in Today as a plugin, but with some empty space below.

5. Battery Status (Slikkie) (Modified to be used with UL) Can also used as in Today as a plugin, but with some empty space below as well.

6. PocketCM

PS: I am waiting for your Manila theme Diamond. Which one are you referring to? Can let me know, so that I may also wanna do it too? :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobsbbq:
Yes I'm working on the .3 Black version by Chriscsh found here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=396910

If you are interested I can give you what I have up til now and we can both work on it. It may save you a lot of time. Also I have a couple of issues I'm waiting on an answer maybe it is just me or my device. would be good to know if you get the same.

Very important it seems, unzip and rename the XIAMutiTheme.08 to XIAMultiTheme and copy it to your programs folder before installing the other applications and the manilla cab. The XMT Multitheme does not have any install just copy snd rename.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
I saw your posts to chriscsh, and believe you have the alarm issue. Let me take a look at that thread to understand the problem first... Yup, perhaps we can work this out together... :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:

Can you post your problem (Communication, alarm) script files here? I wanna take a look to see if I can help. :)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobsbbq:
Yes some issues. The Manila Black theme I have attached for you. Obviously still work in progress. I have not done the programs, messaging, or settings tabs. I also have not done the navigation bars yet. Deciding on whether I want to make them bigger or ad an additional tab. Have fun and keep me posted on how it runs on yours.http://rapidshare.com/files/126222265/Manila-Black_I780.zip.html
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobsbbq:
Sorry did not work.:(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
bob,

I can't get the today plugin, even though I have followed the instructions right down to the finest details.

I can launch the XIAMultitheme from the program files, I can select the theme tag, Today tag, I can refresh the Start Menu tag and even select the Install Today Plugin.

However, after selecting, the button <Apply Configuration> at the bottom of the Install tag, it is still shaded and would not allow me to apply.

I soft reset the phone and go to Settings>Persona>Today>Items but just could not find the XIAMultheme4 as a plugin.

Nevermind, I really dunno how but managed to have the XIAMultitheme plugin installed.

Same program as you, the alarm did not show... will also investigate... :)

How did you manage to do it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobsbbq:
I had the same problem when I reinstalled the last time. I think the XIAMultitheme file was updated on the 30 June. I did not have this problem the first time I installed.

Here is what I did to get mine working. It may not have required all of these steps.

I uninstalled Manila Black .3

Deleted XIAMultiTheme Folder

Uninstalled Mortscrip

Uninstalled Oxios Hibernate

Uninstalled S2P

Uninstalled VJVolubilis

deleted all Registry Entries for all of the above

Reinstalled

1. Unzipped XIAMultiTheme-Nightly_Build, Renamed XIAMultiTheme-0.8 to XIAMultiTheme, Copied this to Program Files Main Memory.

2. Opened folder XIAMultiTheme and run XIAMultiThemeInstall, This will create necessary registry entries.

3. Installed Morscript

4. Installed Oxios Hibernate

5. Installed S2P

6. Installed VJVolubilis

7. Installed Manila Black .3 cab

8. Soft reset

9. Opened folder XIAMultiTheme, run XIAMultiThemeConfiguration

10. Made all changes as per original post.

11. Select Today Plugin in Settings\personal\today

12. Then open folder XIAMultiTheme\Themes\Manila Black\mscr, Then click on Alarm, it should bring up the Alarm window. Set Alarm and close window.

It was working.

13. Then I copied my modified Theme folder to overwrite the original (note make a backup of original) Then I was getting errors again from Alarm and Phone and Data. I then copied the original mscr files for Alarm, Phone Status, Data Status in to the modified folder and everything worked.

My problem now is weather is not updating. It worked before, oh well I will keep checking.

PS These instructions are only for Samsung I780 and for development of Chriscsh Manilla theme to work on the I780. It is not finished and still requires a lot of work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
I can see you are reaching there. Have you solved your bootup problem?

One thing I feel, is that it is not very responsive. And it is not really smooth, and at times funny errors do come up.

However, I'm still at my infancy stage, and may change my opinion.

Do hope you have success in this... :)

Btw, regarding the gprs issue, I notice that to switch off, I need to switch off the phone radio, otherwise, no matter how I click do not switch off.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobsbbq:
No the power on error is still there. Do you have the same error?

Yes I have noticed the lack of responsiveness when pressing the tab buttons and some other items which require screen press. What I find is they seem to be more responsive to finger touch than the stylus. And you have to press them just right in the right place. I don't know if this has anything to do with the reduction in size of running real vga or not. Will have to investigate this and maybe use a larger size Icon for tabs.

Yes the gprs will not turn off by the comm panel. But you can open the wireless manager from tapping the signal icon and menu then disable from there.

I got the weather working again

And got the programs issue worked out in Fav tab

Now I have to start working on the Navigation bar and wait for a answer about the power on error.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
Progress report:

A few issues found:

SMS has an issue. Will not revert to zero even after it is read. Also to refresh the unread sms, you need to go to the home tab, pressing other tabs in Navitab2 does not refresh the sms.

Reading sms will bring up a screen for about 2 secs saying that the message had been saved, you can find it..... before the message dissappears.

Appointment remains on screen even when I deleted the details in PocketInformant. Refreshing it does not solve the problem.

GPRS will not turn off.

Comms - Only Bluetooth icon works. Pressing the Bluetooth icon will bring up the pairing device screen. Wifi icon does not work like the BT icon. Pressing the Wifi icon on the left side does not bring up the Wifi screen.

Has issue with the Oxios Hibernate, message says "Window 'Oxios Hibernate 1.40' could not be found

Line: WaitforActive(Hib,2) - Suspect might be shortcut issue.

Have not tried thorough testing the following:

Only tried playing music through S2P but have not tried the album cover thingie yet.

People tab seems to work, but no thorough testing done yet.

Weather tab works. Updating from website is no problem.

Considering increasing the no. of programs in the Program tab. Current is 9, intend to go for 12.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
Profiles currently is 3, Normal, Loud and Silent.

May want to include Vibrate, Vibrate & Ring. Not sure how to do it, but will try to study and do it...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobsbbq:
Yes I can confirm all of these except the Oxios I have not had any error with this. What did you do to get this error?

Yes I tried doing 9 programs but it knocked the theme out. I will try again with no links as it should create it's own link.

What have you decided to do about the navigation bar? I was thinking about making 6 tabs. or 5 tabs and a tab to go to the 2nd navigation bar.

Yes to have more of a choice in the profile for the phone would be good. Also would it be possible to put the slikkie weather in this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
Appointment remains on screen even when I deleted the details in PocketInformant. Refreshing it does not solve the problem.

Partial success. Deleted appointment in PocketInformant. Press refresh button. Appointment still shown even if you move back and forth in the 2 different navigation screen. Only a soft reset will be able to update the screen.

Note: This is exactly the same symptoms of the sms readcount issue.

How I did it:

Modifiy the appointment.mscr to include -resetall (see code below)

Run(SystemPath("ProgramFiles")\"XIAMultiTheme\themes\Manila-Black\Tool\apptx.exe", "-resetall")

If we can resolve the sms refresh issue, I believe this should not be an issue as well. We need to look into the refresh issue now....

Edit: Notice that the registry entries were not updated (example: appointment, etc) until a soft reset is carried out. For the appointments and sms, will check the programs to see if these were stored in other registries...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
I will stick with 5 tabs, since the people screen is toggling between the 2 navigation bars. Also, to include another tab might require major revamp of the skin.xml file. Not for the faint hearted.... :D

I may be wrong, but it does look like XIAMultitheme does not refresh the screen immediately, it requires a soft reset before it updates (both sms and the appointment issue)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rexwrx8:
hi all,

im' new to i780.

lastly, how can i install garming xt nav???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
@ Bob,

How's the going? :) Did you manage to get the sms issue resolve?

Also, looking at the Profile, mortscript is has the command of SetVolume. However, for Vibrate function, it can only set the time in milliseconds. I was thinking if it could be turned on or off something like SetVibrate(0) or SetVibrate(1) where 0=off and 1=on....

No not really had time yesterday to look in to it, did some more work on navigation bar spacing etc. Going to try the thumbcal progam today.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobsbbq:
See my post in the other thread, do you know which file opens the phone settings, like to change ring tones etc. I can't find it. Also I figured out the phone status issue. Copy icon # 17 located in Manila\Themes\Black\Network

and rename it to 3 & again to 15 & again to 31, make sure you keep the 17 as well. This will let the phone indicator to come on right away even though the status is changing.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
From the looks of it, it seems that your Spbmenu.xml may be causing the problem. Can you please try going into other pages, and if there are directories (such as office...) can you also please check to see if you have this problem? Go to the game directory, do you have this problem?

Looking at qa_layouts.dat, you are running RealVGA

I am attaching my Diamond theme with RealVGA for the SpbMenu.xml. You can use it to compare the differences or you can try to compile it to your qa_layouts.dat.

看来你是来自中国。我是来自新加坡。

Hope that helps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] michelle_y:
非常感谢你的帮忙，我也修改好了。 :D:D:D

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
You are most welcome! :) Even though I did the Diamond theme, I am no longer using SPB MS2.1

I have tried several Today plugins, but I have settled on ThrottleLauncher 0.9.2. Initial loading is a little slow, but really a very wonderful Today plugin once the program is fully loaded.

Response wise, it's a little slow too, but I believe it is bearable to almost everyone.

P/S: Glad that you enjoy your i780!!

Did you try the WMP skin and the Audio Manager or the PocketCM?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gquintino:
Hi,

I've tried numerous times to uninstall and install the MS2.1 on my i780 but the problem remains. I can't access the SPB Menu!

Many thanks

Anyway it is the best theme for i780 i see before.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
I'm not sure what you mean by using the "<" and ">". You should try version 1.1 where I change the Program - Complete to a 4 rows by 3 columns and also the photos from 4 x 4 to 5 x 3. Looks better in Version 1.1

Glad that you enjoy this theme. :)

P/S: I'm now using TL 0.9.2 which in my opinion is a great program.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cktlcmd:
I envy you guys. I really want SPB Mobile Shell too, but I have an HTC Advantage X7510 running Real VGA at 96dpi. As you all know, Real VGA in our screen with SPB Mobile Shell don't mix well: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=389084

It does run fine but with a messed up layout. Would it be possible to teach me how to make these files to work on our screen using Real VGA at 96dpi?

.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
Which you have installed first? RealVGA or MS SPB 2.1?

To do editing, first you go to the spb file folder and locate the file qa_layout.dat

This file is actually a zipped file, which contains a list of the xml files required for the editing. Use winzip to unzip the files and store them in a folder in your pc / laptop. When you decompress this file, it will prompt you with a password. The password is b0fm18zq.

Now use notepad to open up the xml files. You will see that the program. That is when you start editing. For example, if you see coordinates of 240 or 320 perhaps you can change to 480 and 640 respectively.

After you have done your editing, save the files and recompress the qa_layouts.dat file. Again, make sure you save with the same password.

replace your old layout.dat file with the new one.

Enjoy editing, and perhaps you can even come out with your own theme. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cktlcmd:
Thank you for this. :D

I installed Real VGA first, then SPB Mobile shell. I'll try this in a few hours.

Will I be editing SPB's qa_layout.dat file or do I have to install your files from the first page first?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
My suggestion: Don't use those files posted here. To get yourself familiar with the editing, you copy the whole spb ms folder into your PC, and do your editing from there.

The stock spb ms 2.1 is easy, as it only have a few xml files in the qa_layout.dat. Always start with the easy one, so as to build confidence and experience.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cktlcmd:
Thanks for the tips. This is some tidious work. Jeeeeezzzzz!

Should I also double the value of "400" to "800"?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cktlcmd:
Unfortunately, it did not work. I got a blank screen when launching SPB Menu.

How can I use back to my original phone dialer or "Minimal Dialer"??

After I use the Diamond theme, the contact will open another phone dialer.

Actually, I did love to using "Minimal Dialer" as well.:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zenkinz:
has anybody ported the Diamond theme for the ultimate launcher. I really like the theme, but at the same time I do like to try out UL ...

Throttlelauncher feels a tad too slow for me ..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
Before you edit the files, did spb ms2.1 display in your device?

What is your device screen display? 480 x 640 with realvga?

Don't change the screen variable name. Change only the coordinates.

Look for the variable 240 x 320, and scroll to the starting of the page for 240 x 320. Forget the rest of the settings (320 x 240, 240 x 240, 400 x 240 and 240 x 400).

Go for the 240 x 320 selection. For 240, you change to 480 and 320 you change to 640.

Play around with the coordinates and you will get the hang of it.

Hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
Apologies, as I have not used ms spb 2.1. Can you show me your screen capture? To change it, I think you will need to do some registry editing.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
Hi zenkinz,

Greetings to you too. :)

Regarding Throttlelauncher, I do find it to be have a bit of slack in between tabs. But once loaded and going through the whole set of tabs, it does become bearable. (Note that I have disabled unload for all the tabs)

Not sure if APBilbo will do something to it, but to speed up TL, perhaps you can also disable some tabs.

Hope that helps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
I had used UL before, together with BatteryStatus. However, it is not what I want.

TL though is sluggish, fits more my needs.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
Hi, I have stopped using SPB MS2.1. However, you can check with reyal (from www.ppcsg.com) and perhaps you can pm him and check if he is doing anything to it.

By the way, the framework had already been done. You can easily edit and / or replace the icons files.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zenkinz:
actually this is what I'm trying to do too, and although I can spend sometime this weekend to look at the XMLs, if you could offer some insight/help so that I need not reinvent the wheel.

essentially the current 1.1 allows the left and right softkey to flip from one 'window' to another 'window' within the tab (e.g. Main Program to MRU Program, or Contacts VIP to Contacts Family). It would be good that the softkey can be used to navigate from tab to tab as well.

e.g.

Home Tab shows digital clock page... click right soft key it goes to the analog clock page (still within the home tab). another right soft key it should goes to the next right tab since there's no more page/window within the home tab. Currently, it recycle to the first window/page within the home tab, i.e.. the digital clock page.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
I know what you mean, but it has been ages since I use spb ms 2.1. I'm getting senile.... :D

I believe it can be done, by mapping out the next program instead of going back to the beginning. However, I have since stopped using spb and have not given any thoughts on that further.

What I can advise you is this:

Check out the stock spb ms 2.1 xml files. See how the xml files are controlled on the switching of tabs. Also see how the pages within each tab works. Putting the logic of switching tabs to the xml file, I believe that can be done.

Hope this helps.

For that matter, Greatbal is the guru in this. You can also take a look at his latest theme in this forum.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cktlcmd:
Thanks. I'll try again.

Original SPB shell theme for I780 with realvga

Is there anyone who has the default theme (with original layout and icons) for SPB mobile shell for the Samsung i780 which works with realvga enabled?

I would be extremely thankfull if someone can provide me that :cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
First off, my apologies. Is the treo 800w native screen is 96dpi? Have you tried installing it first and run it without any skiining first? If it works, likely the diamond will work too. Also what is your screen size? 240x240 or 320x320?

After installing spb mobile shell, can you please show me your file directory, so that I can determine if it can work or not? :)

If most of the filenames starts with ma*.*.dat likely it will work.

Just unzip and place it in your spb folder, allowing for all overwrites.

As to the 9 icons reg file, get a registry program such as resco registry to associate with the reg extension. Next double click on the reg file to add it to the current windows registry.

Hope this helps.
