I don't use the iPhone homescreen, but I still keep it because I find it funny to trick people with.. people who ask to see my phone try to use it as a touchscreen :)

Here's my home screen using Facade and some other plugins.

It actually scrolls down 3 screens.

Same issue but not the same results

My friends are calling me and my Dash won't ring and goes directly to voicemail for most callers. I did a hard reset and whipped all to factory settings and incoming calls still 1/2 the time go to voice mail. I don't have a full box or anything. So, I have no clue. If anyone has any other suggestions much appreciated.

I plan to go to Tmobile and find out if they can figure anything out. Hopefully it will happen when I'm there.

WM6 Standard

Tmobile Rom

1 month old

Windows CE OS 5.2.1236 (Build 17741.0.2.1)
[HTC Excalibur] telwell:
the T-Mo rom is unstable, hard reset worked for me for a few days, then back to no sound.. as soon as i flashe to the new HTC ROM (or Rogers,, i also tried) i havenot seen the sound problem since...

bot ROM;s are posted here along with jockyw2001's Excalibur Update SPL (USPL) 1.11

make sure you read how to use it before you try.. dont brick your new dash.

it was the best thing i did. either one is way better than t-mo's.
[HTC Excalibur] eran.chason@gmail.com:
did u install any new SW?

if u did, try uninstall the SW. I had the same problem after installing the WOW serround on my S620
[HTC Excalibur] pfunkside:
After I hard reset my dash I only application unlocked my dash then reinstalled v-tap, and tcpmp core player and that's it. I really have a feeling it has nothing to do with my side but we shall see. I'm gonna do another hard reset and take it to Tmobile and see what's the deal.
[HTC Excalibur] trpenner:
Ring Volume on Dash is too soft

How can I make the ring volume and speakerphone volume louder?
[HTC Excalibur] .PoNeH:
Go to Settings>Profile>Normal>Edit and change the Ringtone and System volume levels there.
[HTC Excalibur] :
I thought I'd post here as the thread is a bit confusing at this point with all the posts and such.

Here's the changes I made. It MAY have made the volume a little louder. Hard to say. It wasn't a dramatic difference though.

For what it's worth, I'm using the lates HTC WM6 ROM.

HKLM/software/htc/audiogain

eac_gain_embedded - changed from 70 to 77

earphone_uplink_volume - changed from 10 to 65

recieve_uplink_volume - changed from 19 to 65

As I said, I didn't notice much of a difference really. Maybe just a little bit. Did I not adjust the right keys for the earpiece... or are the changes just not that significant with this reg edit?
[HTC Excalibur] :
thanks man. nice homescreens

[HTC Excalibur] nutpants:
volume control for the speaker

i have a small program called Kai's Beast Master.Net

it plays a 16 htz tone (and others) through the speaker

but it has no volume control built into it

and i cant find any way to turn down the volume when it plays the tone

is there a default volume control that im missing somewhere?

i have run others apps and set the volume lower for them

but they dont affect Kai's Beast Master.Net volume when it runs.

is there a third party volume control out there?

thanks for any hints.

NutPants
[HTC Excalibur] theformula:
I may be wrong but the touchstrip when enabled IS the system volume control. You may have to set it to volume only or something similar in the HTC rom. Sorry this is just off the top of my head as my dash is not on me right now.
[HTC Excalibur] littleclown:
I download the orange one and edit it for Wi-Fi status :).

what program do u use too change the .xml file in the themes?is there a tutorial?
[HTC Excalibur] gottifour:
You can edit it with notepad

You can use some advanced editor like "notepad++" for context coloring

This is my edit for the orange one.

I put some comments in code to be more easy for you.

My comments start with # symbol :).
[HTC Excalibur] kevitoNY:
for those who are new to themein phones these files need to be downloaded from a computer then extracted to the phone folder 1. App Data 2. Home there you can drop the files so they work.
[HTC Excalibur] littleclown:
Another example - if you wont to use 24 format for your clock, just remove the string mode="12" from time tag.
[HTC Excalibur] cah55:
This is all new technology to me so I was wondering if someone could tell me how to put the theme onto the phone once I have it downloaded. Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] littleclown:
The JPG and XML must be placed in application data/home directory.

After that you will be able to change the "home screen" settings

Anyone know what needs to be done for message tones to show?

I'm trying to add message tones for my Dash and instead of using Phonealarm I would like to be able to have the message tone...if I put it in the My Ringtones folder it only shows under ringtones and not message tones and if I put it in the Windows directory it won't show either...is there a way?

Thanks

Brian
[HTC Excalibur] xr1d:
yea u need to convert the mp3 tones into wav files and drop them into the windows folder then reboot your fone. i tryed it with one short 3 sec wav and it showed up for my text message. now i have Shawty Low saying "BIG UP!.. TO ALL MY HATERS!!" when a new text message is received :p

[HTC Excalibur] collins521:
Hmm...well they are already wav files cause they are actually stock message tones that have never shown up after flashes except the T-Mobile roms, its the new reminder tone...it is a wav file but can never see it even in the windows directory
[HTC Excalibur] 1wired1:
Thanks Mikey!!!
[HTC Excalibur] vwrpm:
Try placing the files in the Application Data / Sounds folder. I have .wav and .mp3 files in there and they both show up.
[HTC Excalibur] collins521:
Yeup that did it....now it shows. Thanks a lot! Now I don't have to use phonealarm on my homescreens if I don't want it
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Hope it helps...you might need to know the titles of the songs though :)
[HTC Excalibur] 1wired1:
i couldn't find any regular phone sounding rings in there. lots of songs though. i'm just looking for 'ring ring' types. thanks though

The cab that's missing from the first post...
[HTC Excalibur] Svoms:
thanks, i updated it
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
Got it to work and I like it, but why is it only applied on the Homescreen? Why can't this be a permanent icon bar?

Also, I edited the .xml file as instructed, but when I ran the .cab it place a new .xml as "sliding panel_media NRG" in the Home folder and I have to use that in order to get it to work. That normal?
[HTC Excalibur] Svoms:
It is really just an overlay, so it won't work anywhere else.

Yes you have to use "sliding panel_media NRG" for ir to work, unless you are good with editing xml, you can add it to any xml homescreen
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
which is the appropriate folder to extract the cab to...

\windows ???

edit:

what is the best way to install this?
[HTC Excalibur] Svoms:
Out the cab anywhere, if it asks where to install, \windows
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
I did... it somehow killed my radio, and I couldnt open all settings. Wierdness... I just flashed back to rickwyatt's kavana repack... and will start again and let you know how it goes

edit: all is well again.... where did you get the vista-esque taskbar at the bottom of the homescreen?
[HTC Excalibur] tmcdoniel:
How do I change my bottom 'start' bar to look like the 'Vista' similar one pictured above?

Also, I installed the Rinku cab file, and edited the xml file as listed above, but there's not an option to change the background to any of these pics.

When installing, it doesn't give you the option to install in any particular folder, just to the mobile or storage card. Do you know where it put all the pics and stuff, perhaps I could copy it over.

I did install the Kavana WM6.1 sucessfully, but I'd like to add these optional themes as the defaults of either green, blue, or guava leaves a bit to be desired. :-)

Thank you,

Tim
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
1. I believe that you want to install it in the \windows directory on you mobile. Just copy the .cab there and run it using file explorer.

2. I am not quite sure... but I don't think the backgrounds are included in the cab, or it would be infinitely larger. Just click the thumbnails individually, right click each of them.. and select "save image as" to your desktop. Then you can copy them over to a folder on either your card or mobile, view the image and select to use as your home screen.

3. I too am looking for the vista start bar...

hope this helps good luck

[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
Question... I have noticed that several people using the vista theme for their smart toolkit have a different task icon then mine:

They have the cogs (way cool) and I have what looks to be 3 index cards layered on one another...

anyone know if this is a variable skin (I am using gino512 vista aeros)...

Or a specific Icon set????

Some strange beep sound time to time..? :)

Hello guys. From two days my Dash makes some strange short beep sound time to time. I hate it, coz I wan't to sleep without this sound :).

Maybe I have done something to start this ****, but now I wont to turn this sound off.

Help!:).
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
take a screeen shot pf your home screen.....is there an unread message you have?
[HTC Excalibur] littleclown:
No man. no unread messages. i think the sound repeats in 30 min. any idea?
[HTC Excalibur] montai_hotmail:
I think you should check at setting-sounds-unread message alert.
[HTC Excalibur] sledwrecker:
He's not mental. this happens to me as well. Just random it's not on the :30's or on the hour... just for some reason it beeps. I think it could COULD be related to the phone dropping then picking up service. I have noticed that with mine since I only get the beeps at home where tmobile service is spotty.

:confused:
[HTC Excalibur] jdhatt:
With the new 6.1 ROM my phone beeped when there were unread events - I turned that option off in the sounds menu of the settings.

My phone would also beep when I have wifi on and the phone goes into standby after 30 seconds or whatever - the beep would signal that wifi was turned off to save battery.

Lastly, try a hard reset on the phone / clear storage option.

Hope some of these suggestions help.
[HTC Excalibur] egosumpaul:
wifi on and off equals beep!

Hey guys;

mine also beeps when wifi is turned on and phone is not active (screen is off...). Also, if you have no wifi signal around also beeps meaning that is phone is looking for a net to be connected.

If you are not using wifi, turn it off for the night or meeting time. Turn it on just when you want to be connected.:)

Good Luck!
[HTC Excalibur] fiddysheqel:
It's not because of Wi-Fi, and it's not any unread messages. Mine also does it just like you guys said, but only in the "Normal" profile (if I leave on "Vibrate, it won't happen). Any ideas?
[HTC Excalibur] littleclown:
I find the reason for me-

Really is for unread messages ;). Coz I configure some pop3 account for my e-mail, and in the inbox there are some unread messages (some old ones, in the bottom of the list) and I never didn't seen them before, and there was a big fat status "NO UNREAD MESSAGES" - this is the source of this sound. I completely remove the ****ty account and the terror stopped :)

Thank you for your posts.

P.S.: When I am in vibrate mode its vibrates. I will make another pop3 account and will set this reminder off :).
[HTC Excalibur] denn:
Mine does this when the wi-fi goes off to save power, an option that I don't much like. You can deactivate this in the WLAN settings-->Power Mode
[HTC Excalibur] momentarylapseofreason:
Will sometimes happen when your phone goes in and out of service (as was said). Turn off system sounds
[HTC Excalibur] HTCconfused:
Continuing sound

This sound is because you have the wifi feature enabled, disable it and it will stop beeping, that's it.
[HTC Excalibur] torontotytn:
Do you guys know if ringtones can be placed in the SD Card instead of the phone itself?
[HTC Excalibur] paradisetoall:
Depends on how you want to use your ringtones. As ringtones for individuals they can be placed on the SD Card.
[HTC Excalibur] torontotytn:
I wanted to store my ring tones on my SD card for the general ring of the phone.
[HTC Excalibur] paradisetoall:
then that should be know problem. i generally put them in the "my ringtones" folder in my documents on the sd card. you should be able to choose your ringtone from the sounds menu now.

[HTC Excalibur] Svoms:
Look in the first post. It's the first file there
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
Okay...I'm trying to fully understand. I looked in the first post and clicked on your link "here", but it took me to a page with a blue bar. Obviously that's a no-go. Then I saw where you said the the code for the Sliding Panel Media should change from something to something else. I'm not really grasping the steps to appropriately install the Rinku iconbar and make things transparent. If you could list the process down in steps, I (and I'm sure many others) would be grateful.
[HTC Excalibur] ROCKnTIME:
I agree…. The link is dead and I’ve read every post here. If someone could explain the process or provide the missing files it would be appreciated.

[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
It's the weirdest thing... I just downloaded and installed the rinku.cab and it works perfectly fine. I didn't have to put in the XML code to make the bar transparent. It already is. Maybe he reposted the .cab with the modifications already made. Anywho, it works great and looks good with SmartToolKit.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
rock...trying changing the home screen to a different one and going back to the original.

Or try re downloading the plug and install it again.
[HTC Excalibur] Svoms:
They all work for me.. I dont know what your problem is..
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
Hey, after you install the .cab, go to Settings -> Home Screen -> Home screen layout -> change to 'Sliding Panel NRG'

After I did that, the colored icons worked great.
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
Hey Mikey, I've noticed that in addition to a colored iconbar some people have their sliding panel icons colored as well. Like the clock icon beside the clock sliding panel or the play button icon beside the music sliding panel. Do you have any clue how they did that? Or does ANYONE in this thread know, for that matter?!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Both Ricky and Kavana released tools for you to be able to do that. Search and ya shall find... The tool is even built-in in Ricky's ROM.

Hey, does anyone know how to change the sound for the keypad control on the Dash? I know how to change ringtones and other sounds, like I even got the original sound for AOL "You've Got Mail" set as my email default every time I get AOL email. Very cool!
