Looks amazing h4waii!!! Can you post your homescreen and the wmp & audio manager skin?? Please!!!? :)
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Yep, will upload in a few days. I am making a few more changes. There was a new skin released on nectun that I really like. I'll be integrating some of the features from it into the home screen. I might take out the missed calls plugin and substitute it for something else. Any idea's?

Here's what she looks like so far;

The dark/black colors are off, however on the device it's not noticeable. Changes only include a glossy top bar for the iconbar and new icons for HTC Home. I really like the green selector, it matches the green select text when moving through missed calls and SMS plugin.

I may swap out the SmartMonitor icons for these to complete the 'green' look. I just can't find a good place to put them since they are so thin.
[HTC Vox] cpt.bert:
Looks nice waiting for your post!!
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Copy and uploading now. Will attach all the required files.

Done. Enjoy, any feedback or comments are welcome!

The first ever homescreen I have designed

This is my first post and I have designed my first ever homescreen. This uses Facade and Worldmate(free version) plugins (see attached jpg).

Sorry I am not very good at tech and so all that I have done is modified an existing xml file to suit my requirements (see attached zip).

I have a question : I want my a plugin that will contain my favourite icons (NOT most recently used icons). In order to achieve this, I have used the Facade plugin in this homescreen. Is there any other option available to design this? I am currently running a trial version of Facade and I wanted to know if any other option is possible to get my own favourite icons. If there is no other option, I would have to go in and purchase Facade.

Suggestions welcome. Thanks.
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
I'm not to sure if there's any way to do that without using a plugin.

I would like to know how you got those weather icons so big, are you using PocketWeather or is that a feature of WorldMate that can integrate into Facade?

BTW, you have a PM with some goodies in it for you.
[HTC Vox] swapnilgyani:
If it is only the icons functionality that you are after, give a try to Orchid Shortcut - its got a wide array of options.
[HTC Vox] somu:
I first downloaded Worldmate free version and installed it in my smartphone. Given below is the handango link for Worldmate free version that I downloaded.

http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...12142&Ntt=worldmate&R=220165&productId=220165

This automatically installs a Worldmate homescreen as well. I then went into the worldmate homescreen xml, copied the code for the worldmate plugin and then pasted it in my homescreen xml. By default, the weather icons appear so big.

Reg. the PM, thanks a ton!
[HTC Vox] carrots99:
h4waii, how do you put the facade text in black like you have in the screenshot? I'm asking because i have the text in white...
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Go to Facade=>Menu=>Colors and you can change them there, or it can be done by the global Facade XML settings.
[HTC Vox] carrots99:
Done :D thanks for the hint ;)
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
No problemo. I've taken Facade off my home screen, no need for the appts as I never have any, weather is accessible through the HTCHome plugin and it speeds up quite a bit without it and PocketWeather running.
[HTC Vox] deebrooklyn:
i'm a newbie to messing with the homescreens. is there a definitive tutorial for this anywhere? (starting from scratch?)
[HTC Vox] deebrooklyn:
is there a tutorial for changing homescreens for a newbie? i was lurking this thread and tried to follow the instructions, but all of the homescreens only show up half-way. never how they actually look on the screenshots.

Also, this may be a dumb question, but which programs do you guys use to extract the screenshots directly off your devices?
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
I use the built-in capture feature of SmartToolKit.

Just to confirm, you are using a Vox? Sounds like you might be missing some plugins.
[HTC Vox] matrix77:
With Jeyo Mobile Companion you can take a screenshot of your phone directly from PC.
[HTC Vox] codingphp:
Hey H4WAII.. could you tell me something. Anything I'm doing wrong here? Basically, I got everything working.. but.. I can't overwrite the files for the clock to the new crazy better images in the /Windows/ folder. It says they're "write-only" or something. Any help?
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Yes, you need to copy them over using Total Commander or Rescoe Explorer. AcriveSync will not allow you to overwrite them.
[HTC Vox] codingphp:
Just tried that, it doesn't work. I even tried switching the theme so HTCHome wasn't running, still no dice. I used both Total Commander and Resco Explorer.. both said access was denied.

Any other ideas?!
[HTC Vox] codingphp:
Wow.. uhh.. H4waii.. this homescreen you made w/ SmartToolKit drained my brand new battery from 100% to 30% in 5 hours on stand-by. Does that sound a little bad? It's awful from my point of view. Anything I'm doing wrong, or any suggestions? Because wow.. on stand-by in 5 hours.. that's.. wow. I'm guessing it's SmartToolKit doing that, but any way to have it say.. close if it's not used for a while.. but still be there when I touch the home key next?
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
That is completely abnormal. I have not noticed any substantial battery drain using SmartToolKit or any other home screen.

Check what plugins you have running as well, I haven't had this before nor has anybody else complained about this issue with the homescreen I posted.
[HTC Vox] codingphp:
K Cool. Thanks for your help, I truly have no idea why it was near dead so quickly. I did check the Task Manager and it said it only had 7,000+ ram left. So maybe that's why.

Anyways, you didn't answer the question I had in the other post.. if you could I'd appreciate it.

Basically I tried the Total Commander AND Resco Explorer method to copy over the clock images and it didn't work. Any other suggestions?! Thanks again!
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
I don't know why you would be having that issue. Using Resco Explorer, see if you can locate each file, hit Menu and Properties and remove the "Read-Only" attribute.
[HTC Vox] codingphp:
@H4waii.

Ya hahaha.. that didn't work either. Resco doesn't even show the files. It's like they're hidden..

Also, how would I check to see what plugins and stuff I have running/change them?

Thx!:D
[HTC Vox] Rämsi:
@ h4waii:

does the diamond homescreen also works with wm 6.1?
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
@Rämsi;

It sure does.

@codingphp;

Open Resco Explorer, select Menu=>Options=>General go to Browser and make sure none of those are checked. See if you can select the files using Multi-Select mode and turn off the read-only attribute.
[HTC Vox] codingphp:
Okay, I can now see the hidden files, but still can't edit the read-only attribute. I give up. Besides, this things consuming my battery like crazy.. which is odd. I'm just gonna revert to my old scheme and no SmartToolKit. Thanks for your help.
[HTC Vox] Rämsi:
i copied your files to my htc, but now the layout is not right.everything is shifted!do you know how to fix it?
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Well that all depends on how it is shifted. You probably need to install the required plugins. This thread is only 3 pages long, might I suggest you read it and I am sure the answer will be there.
[HTC Vox] Rämsi:
the thread is 13 pages long ;) i only have facade..i really like your homescreen:D

[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Take screen capture of how it looks, is it lower or higher? If it's higher, you are missing the Iconbar plugin. If it's lower, I don't know what the pants is going on because no plugins at the bottom force it. Facade is totally optional, I don't even use it anymore.
[HTC Vox] Rämsi:
sorry that i annoy you,but i got my phone 3 days ago and i dont know which software i have to use for the screenshot.

everything is higher!
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=78607&d=1206982095

Install that cab to your device memory and soft reset. Everything should work fine after that.
[HTC Vox] Rämsi:
now i have the icon bar,but the text, like my appiontments is still to high!how can i do a screenshot?it might be easier!
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
If you're using SmartToolKit, hit your right soft key, go to the last option on the left and select "Capture". Else you will need to install a 3rd party application to do this.

If you look the preview of the theme posted, do you notice anything not showing? If so, describe what's not showing and I'll let you know how to fix it.
[HTC Vox] Rämsi:
i am not able to download smarttoolkit. the bar of akku-status etc ist not there.i cannot see the clock.and my appointments are in the middle and not on the bottom!
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Then you are missing HTCHome plugin. Search for the cab, install it and install the rest of the required plugins.
[HTC Vox] Rämsi:
where do i find the cab for my smartphone?is it not only for touchscreen?

/edit

i got it!! for anybody who is looking for it http://www.smartphonefreeware.mobi/download-htc-home-plugin-smartphone.html
[HTC Vox] Rämsi:
which plugins i need?

i already have:

-htc home

-iconbar

but my clock is different and the batterystatus etc is missing!
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Your clock is different because you now need to copy the files into the \Windows\ folder and for battery status you are missing SmartMonitor.
[HTC Vox] Rämsi:
now everything is on the right place :):):)

THANK YOU!!!
[HTC Vox] codingphp:
I got bored.
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
@Rämsi;

Glad everything is working for you now.

@codingphp;

Mind sharing your VMail/EMail/SMS icons? I'm gonna change mine up again.
[HTC Vox] codingphp:
Certainly! Oddly enough, I had this lingering suspicion that it was SmartMonitor that was eating my battery. So, I swapped it out for the icon bar, which I prefer anyways and left it on stand-by and low and behold, NO BATTERY DRAIN! I assume it's because I was in my basement with low signal so SmartMonitor was constantly refreshing the signal %. I guess I was right.

Here's my icons!

I like it, a lot. Do you have a CAB file you would share?
[HTC Vox] codingphp:
Sure. I've got to do some fine-tuning though. When I'm done I'll upload the cab for it!

@h4waii:

Hey dude, quick question. How did you manage to install Calibri on your phone? Any link to a good tutorial? Thanks man.

EDIT:

I'm basically done the fine-tuning. Note that this picture for some reason is rather dark from Smart Tool Kit. It's actually much easier to see the background on the phone.
[HTC Vox] Plasma2K8:
@codingphp ..

I do like that home screen VERY much! Please post the cab, I've been playing with all the files in this thread, and have managed to get some kind of a nice Black Home Screen, About the only thing I would want to change for me on yours is the clock and thats so it would have the black numbers on a white background like the HTC Diamond.

A nice simple installer would be good as I've installed like 10 different things trying to get to a nice home screen, and now I'm not sure which parts I'm using and which parts are not needed.

Kind Regards

Plasma
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
@codingphp;

Just move calibri.ttf to \Windows\Fonts and you can use it.

@Plamsa2K8;

If you take the icons from my pack, open them in any paint application (mspaint or thegimp) you can simply invert the colors. It will look glossy and perfect.
[HTC Vox] Azick:

[HTC Vox] h4waii:
@cpt.bert;

Those are the original HTCHome images, all that has been changed is the icon color for SmartMonitor. The screen looks like a very nice copy of the original Diamond theme.
[HTC Vox] Azick:
ok. but you have to change some icons in your windows folder on device and then maybe other skinks can't work normally..

Iconbar plugin

Just a quick question if I may: I'm using Rinku's plugin on a Samsung Jack, but the battery icon always displays the battery_fault icon. If I plug it in, then it shows the battery_charging then shortly after back to the fault icon.

Any suggestions on how I may get it to display properly?

I'll apologize now if this is the incorrect forum.
[HTC Vox] victorash:

My pixel XL touchscreen stopped responding after splash of seawater came in contact with phone.

However none of the touch input is registered. It's been 4 days.

Is there anything i can do, or is it i have damaged the phone touchscreen ? :(

I have raised complaint however i am worried B2X - India service is not reliable and not timely.

Any options/advices please. (The device is out of warranty)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Phalanx7621:
You would have to send the phone away to get the screen fixed. Which wouldn't make sense, considering Pixel's are now only like 140 bucks on Swappa. Get a new phone my friend, fixing the screen isn't cost effective at this point.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zen920:
Can't really say what's going on with the phone since it was a "spare phone" that I've been given just to try to fix it up.This is what I know so far :

The smartphone had a custom android 9 version and had several issue such as being unresponsive and crashes.As of right now the phone won't boot, to phrase it better it does but all I get is a sort of light blue screen with a some sort of ghosting effect (looks like the old lock screen since I can barely see the time and part of the BG) but it looks like completely dead.It seems like it's possibile to boot in odin mode but to me it just seems to straight up freeze (granted that I have no experience with android nor custom roms) this is the info on screen :

Odin mode; Download speed : fast; Product name : SM-G928F; Current binary : Official Samsung; System settings : Custom; FRP Lock : Off;, Secure download : Enabled; RP SWREV: B:5 K:0 S:1;And then the downloading screen.I've been able to "try" to flash a ROM but it either ends up freezing halfway or at the start but most of the time I just get straight up errors on Odin.Oh and going in odin mode seems like random, the phone at times will just stay dead and turn on after 30 minuets and then rebooting, at times it will go straight to and the different button combinations don't seem really consistent in what they do.

At this moment the phone isn't recognized by Windows (either "device not recognized"/not showing at all or showing as something else) and constantly shuts down seconds later I get in download mode.

Phone doesn't always turn on, at times it only boots when sitting on a Qi-plate.

As of right now this is what I've done :

Going in odin mode, tried to flash the stock android 7.0 rom of my model, trying to re-partion with its PIT but nothing seemed to work. The most I've got out of it was the half way through freeze while flashing, now I can't even start the actual flashing that I get errors/freezes.

Thanks to anyone that has any clue of what I can do, sorry for the mess!

More info :

Got my ROM from Samfirm.I've tried flashing with the latest version (August 2018 I think) with no result. Tried with Odin 3.09/10/13 with no success.Tried AP+PIT and all 4+PIT and no PIT at all with mixed results (stuck halfway or at the beginning).Flashing gives either Re-partition failed, complete write operation failed, stuck on setupconnection/initializing and cannot open serial com port.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Isotopes:
Will the eSim be deleted during flashing or will it be retained and can it be used again after flashing?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] kaiseryeahhh:
I join in the question, and I have already opened a thread for it.

If you reset from the phone itself, it is not deleted, as there is an option not to delete it.

But with the option of factory image and flash-all.bat I won't know what will happen with the esim
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Isotopes:
.... and that's what I'm looking for an answer :confused: :(
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] kaiseryeahhh:
nobody has tried it?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Isotopes:
I jumped into the cold water and tried it.

Neither the flashing of a factory image nor the entry `Wipe data / factory reset` in recovery mode delete the eSim.

It seems that the eSim can only be deleted via the SIM-Manager and with the option to delete it at the factory reset.

good to know, again something learned. :victory:
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] kaiseryeahhh:
so if I download the complete firmware, and from fastboot I do a flash-all.bat with all the files I'm not going to delete the e-sim?

It's good to know.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] JujuYuki:
It's a good thing it doesn't get deleted unless the user asks for it, that is definitely standard behaviour and good practice (you wouldn't want to lose your number just for changing roms or hoing back and forth from beta software, right?)

I'd have answered sooner, but didn't get to register until yesterday and kinda forgot about the thread :p
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] kaiseryeahhh:
I ask you again, I know that from the recovery you tell me that it is not deleted, but if you download the full firmware of the Google website and run the flash-all.bat you delete it?

That's what I'd like to know.

Maybe there is to remove some file so that it does not flash it, but I would like to know it
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] JujuYuki:
That has been answered already: no it doesn't remove esim. The only way to erase it is by manually erasing the partition where they are stored yourself, or choosing to erase it when you factory reset the phone from the menu in the android settings.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] onesolo:
So, what's the partition where eSIMs are located?? If you backup it on TWRP we can safely restore it again right?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] JujuYuki:
Don't know, but you shouldn't need to back it up as long as you don't do unusual stuff
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Valiante:
Any way to back the esim up? Always good to have a backup regardless, software is never bulletproof
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Axe_L_Thief:
I suspect there is no easy way to backup the e-sim. It would be the equivalent to copying a sim card - not a good idea.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] motoridersd:
I installed the Android 11 DP2 and when setting up the phone, I have no eSIM.

Edit: Looks like the eSIM is still there after it failed to work during initial phone setup. I wasn't able to enable it. Not even the physical SIM worked. So this might be more of a warning for anyone with an eSIM, DP2 might not be able to get you mobile network access.

I reverted back to the stable 10 build, and my eSIM is STIL there. So. An eSIM does survive a bootloader unlock.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jacques_xda:
Hi,

I just flash a factory image on a Moto E5 play with a sim card inserted in the phone to go back to Android 8, so I could use the Netflix app on the phone!

I was unable to use the phone, because the operator in the factory image was different than the one on my sim card!

So my sim was useless. I could not have the phone to see the sim card in any way.

I had to flash another rom (lineageOS 18.1) to be able to use the phone again.

Now the phone works, but I cannot install the Netflix app, probably because of the unofficial lineageOS 18.1

[Nook Touch General] renatogoes:
Thank you for your promptly reply.

I hadn't thought about the update zips, because I didn't expect that it has the optional dictionaries due their sizes (I think all the dictionaries are around 120 MB in total).

But, I will take a look at them.

ETA: It seems that only the English dictionary is shipped with the update.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Actually, it seems that only English dictionaries are shipped. Period. I've been reading older threads on this topic and there are many on creating your own dictionary by taking public domain files and massaging them into the correct format, but no one ever mentions "stock" dictionaries in other than English--except in one post and I can't find it again. I was hoping to search on the file names given, but can't get there.

Anyway, I think finding the files (if they ever existed) is a very long shot.
