Sorry guys if this is a repitive question, but what is the purpose of lowering the dpi? I have read post one Lukybandit, but it doesn't say what the benefit is.

Would someone mind posting a few reasons why this mod is desired?

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Although i personally wouldn't recommend installing this at the moment ( issues with the storage card and alignment issues)

basically this works similarly to increasing your screen resolution on your PC.(minus the actual resolution changing) meaning it fits more stuff on your devices display since it shrinks down what is placed on your screen.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Hey,

Sorry, that post wasn't directed at you.

The only benefit I can see from this is what pudgedaddy said. By lowering the dpi, you are able to fit more things onto the screen and i guess it looks cleaner. Like that of a pc. I hope that answers your question.
[HTC Excalibur] Big_O:
That's great. Appreciate the info. Sounds like a fun mod. Will give it a try when you guys say it's ready :).
[HTC Excalibur] djnutz:
man - great find. this would be so awesome if we can get the storage card isue working. the extra screen real estate is great for contacts, texts, damn near everything.

works as advertised and uninstalls perfectly.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Anyone have any progress with any of the issues? So far, I haven't been able to dig into it.

This thread is especially for people who showed deep interest in this project. I suggest you start testing, post feedback and try and find solutions since this has been made possible for those who wanted this.

Good Luck and Keep Us Posted.

Need help to be able to test...

Hi!

I'm willing to test it, but i can´t get around the problem i posted before:

"I'm getting the following error when I try to Install the cab (I open the cab, the progress bar goes all the way 'till its end the this is displayed):

"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions".

I've already checked my phone's registry for any lock on the policies, but it's effectively unlocked, and other cabs/apps signed and unsigned install without any problem... BTW, I'm using Ricky's wm6.1 v23 ROM...

Can someone give me some help on this? I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance and cheers.
[HTC Excalibur] djnutz:
I'll try to test this out and see what I can do, Need to install all my storage apps to main memory though.

Not good a code though - so can't help much there.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
i think the storage card issues may have something to do with either the shellres.dll or the browsres.dll files that are included in the .cab

edit: i can extract all the files from the .cab and just create a .cab with the registry changes and then put the files into a separate .zip file so you can extract and place them one by one in the \windows directory then reboot so se can see what the cplprit is.... the dpi.ccs file seems to be pretty tame on its own, so i dont think thats the issue. It runs more like a .mscr file would.

the .ccs file command instructions look like this:

WAIT 1800

WAIT 1800

WAIT 7000

KILL appman

REGX HKLM\System\GWE\Display\#LogicalPixelsY=109

REGX HKLM\System\GWE\Display\#LogicalPixelsX=109

WAIT 1800

EXEC !appman.exe, -s BootApps :MSStart tpcutil.dll AMStart

WAIT 1800

EXEC !\windows\home.exe

WAIT 3000

REGX HKLM\System\GWE\Display\#LogicalPixelsY=96

REGX HKLM\System\GWE\Display\#LogicalPixelsX=96

BEEP

So basically it doesn't appear to refernce any of the .dll's that are included in the .cab ... so it's gotta be one of the ****res.dll files in the .cab

UPDATE: I looked for what dependencies the dll's have and i found a thread where someone modified the shellres.dll and couldnt access his storage card... look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=289772

UPDATE 2: I also found a forum where someone was having issues with videos/pictures and it was regarding the browsres.dll file look here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=4566

UPDATE 3: the PlumSIP5.dll file apparently goes with a program called "sika" and it appears to have absolutely nothing to do with 96dpi heres more info about it: http://www.51spsoft.com/DownInfoEn/info25463.html and this link talks about the .dll file : http://www.51spsoft.com/DownInfoEn/info25244.html

repacking the goods

@pudgedaddy:

I'd be really glad if you made and posted that .zip and .cab files you mentioned, because then i think i'll be able to install this mod and test it.

I look forward to it and thank you in advance.

Cheers.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Here ya go! Enjoy!
[HTC Excalibur] cassiano:
Thanks a lot pudgedady! :D

As soon as i do some testing i'll post my feedback.

i really like the way this looks on my dash! good job and thanks to all that made this possible!

No full success so far...
[HTC Excalibur] mossimo53:
EVERYTHING is working just fine on my phone. i can access everything on storage card, play music from storage and look at pics. run programs installed on storage card.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Hmm, I wonder if this works on my new Rose ROM. Only one way to find out I guess.. lol
[HTC Excalibur] mossimo53:
NRG...i am on kavan's rom and it worked just fine for me. one thing i did on accident which could be why its working...i ran the script before installing the .cab file and then ran the script file again in the cmd prompt...was a mistake cuz i can't follow instructions...so u could try that and see if that has anything to do with it.

update:

the font in opera mini is not working..showing 0000 and also the font in control panel of nrg mini weather is the same. only problem i am having...
[HTC Excalibur] jeanpiere:
96 dpi

i kno its been done for the VOX and NEO but is it possible for the excalibur?
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Yes it is possible check this out. HERE YOU GO SIR
[HTC Excalibur] jeanpiere:
thanks that helped...
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
No problem, it works flawlessly for me just follow the instructions on there...
[HTC Excalibur] jeanpiere:
quick question: is it possible to get the command processor app, cuz i'm using the Rose Rom so its not included.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Which one are you referring too, is it celetasks? or which one?
[HTC Excalibur] jeanpiere:
celetasks one
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
HERE YOU GO MAN CELETASK JUST FOR YOU :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
It's actually celecommand.. Look for it in Kavana or Ricky's ROM. I personally don't use it because both Kavana's and Ricky's ROM are centered around using it, while I prefer "cooking" my ROM the Microsoft way :) With good ol' .provxml .rgu and initflashfiles.dat files :)
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Oh right on...
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
Running this 96dpi on Ricky's Rose ROM 1.7a and unless I use the topbar graphic icons, the regular top icons are just while blocks. Any ideas?
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
Doesn't seem to work correctly on the Rose ported ROMs. Comm Manager is all mangled up, basically unusable. NRG Mini Weather menus don't display at all. The top bar icons are just white blocks. However, using the Media Top Bar icons works, they are just slightly cut off on the bottom. Other than that, seems to work. Can anyone come up with a fix to make it work on the NRG or Ricky's Rose ROM?
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
So, been messing with DLL's, I think I may be able to get this working on the Rose ROM. I need some files out of the \Windows folder in the Rose ROM like tshres.dll, tapres.dll, and shellres.dll to tweak with the 96 dpi package. How can I copy files out of ROM in the \Windows directory? I tried Activesync and RescoExplorer and it keeps saying denied.

Also, I assume I will need to unsign the files before I make changes, then re-sign them, correct?

[HTC Excalibur] nightburn:
ookba,

This is awesome. The only real issue I'm seeing is the background wallpaper is being slightly cut off on the topbar of icons. You can see it in your screenshot as well as mine. Any idea if this can be fixed?
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
Yea, I think thats fixable. Might have to change some values in the .cpr file. I will work on that for the next release.
[HTC Excalibur] nightburn:
That's good news. It's not a deal breaker but it sure would be nice. I look forward to the next release, thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] leegoon84:
thank you for this wonderful program,

this brings my s620 to a whole new level.

I'm surrently on Excalibur_NRG_Rose_v1.4.1_LITE

and all the applications work fine except for the icons on top bar are squared.
[HTC Excalibur] leegoon84:
I tested it on the suggested Rom, Kavana's WM6.1 ROM remade by Ricky V24 with OPERA.

However Opera mini's font were messed up but regular OPERA 8.65 worked fine.

thank you again for this great release
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
how about this also working with rinku's iconbar . it seems like it cuts off the last 2 to 3 pixels from the bottom on rinku's iconbar as well
[HTC Excalibur] Kid_Ding:
i love it!

thank you ookba! excellent work!
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
Hey, thanks. There are still some bugs to be worked out. Doesn't seem to work on the Rose ROMs because the the OS doesn't like the digital signature of the .dll. I need to modify the size of the icons of rinkus iconbar and put them into the installer. That should do it. Probasbly will find some time to work on that this week. Thanks for all the positive feedback!

need the celecmd for this.. anyone has a link for downloading or something?
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
All the remade Rose and Kavana ROMS have Celecmd. Try running the .cab without the dpi.ccs file. I think it will still work.
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
Wallpaper issues fixed now in 1.5b and 1.51b. If you have a custom CPR file in \Windows, back it up, install 96dpi, edit the CPR and modify the first line- <Image ID="Background" Opacity="1.0" Top="-17" Width="320" Height="213"/>, then copy it back to \Windows. Otherwise, the installer will just install the factory version. Let me know.
[HTC Excalibur] jgrv:
Testing

Excellent work guys!

Testing 1.5b for ROSE ONLY works on NRG's Rose ROM. in NRGZ82's 'Rose' v1.4. Reporting issues:

- Comm manager not showing properly

- Some images in IE are not showing correctly

- MSN Messenger app not running :confused:

- Windows Live extremely slow and error in display

- Enter in PocketSNES but nothing happens when you try to load a ROM. (App and ROMs in SD)

*When wifi ON and reboot:

- CHome Settings lost.

- File explorer sometimes freezes when 'Menu' is pressed.

- CommMng doesn't start (keeps thinking)

- Cele Task freezes. Also not killing CommMng process.

-(tried setting HKLM\Comm\TNETWLN1\Parms\ HTCResumeWiFiAfterReset=1 to 0 but didn't work neither)

UPDATE:

- Installed WindowsLive10.6.0034.0800(Fixed).cab and it worked!

- Uninstalled the 96dpi app, set the CommMng to WM default view (HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\DisableButtonText=0) and reinstalled 96dpi app. Now the view still ugly but much better.

- IE displays correctly now. (after reinstalling 96dpi app)

-

DON'T REBOOT IF WIFI IS ON

. (it will make file explorer, celetask and comm mng crash).

Solution

: Uninstall 96dpi app with Settings -> Remove Programs.
[HTC Excalibur] nightburn:
Thanks ookba! 1.52b seems to be working great so far. If I run into any issues I'll post an update.
[HTC Excalibur] Nismo300zx:
is there any way to fix opera mini and the block fonts?..i cant navigate or see anythin
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
Thanks for the feedback. Can you give me a link to that WIndows Live cab? I will try to append the needed files into my 96dpi installer to correct the problem. Im also trying to port over the Comm Manager view from Kavana's ROM to Rose. It displays well. Check it out.

The other issues with Comm Manager thinking forever is a Rose ROM bug. I have run into this many times even without the 96dpi mods. Hopefully these will get ironed out as newer Rose ROMS get released.
[HTC Excalibur] jgrv:
wow it looks much better now thanks! count on me for testing your releases.

I've attached the WIndows Live cab.
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
Thanks. What was the actual problem with Windows live? I wonder which file in this CAB fixed it?
[HTC Excalibur] jgrv:
When the 96dpi is installed the MSN doesn't run at all. installing the .cab i posted fixes it but don't know how.

If you look the processes running after the installer boots the device you'll see the WifiInit.exe is there but the CeleTask does not kill it. When the 96dpi app is not installed this doesn't happen. I think this is why the Folder Explorer jams too.

All goes to normal when the 96dpi app is uninstalled and the phone reboots..
[HTC Excalibur] fliparsenal:
i second that, is there anyway to fix this?
[HTC Excalibur] jgrv:
humm no idea.. hope ookba can fix it! :rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
Yea, I will look at it. Opera and MSN right? Been busy so I haven't had time to mess with it. Prolly this weekend.
[HTC Excalibur] jgrv:
thanks ookba.. the WifiInit.exe problem is a really PITA too.. make phone freeze after reboot
[HTC Excalibur] fliparsenal:
any updates ookba? id really like the font fixed on opera mini..
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
I've never had the WifiInit.exe problem on Kavana's or Rose ROM's. What does it do? As for Windows Live/MSN, the fix on Rose for now is to simply reinstall it with the cab that jgrv posted on this page. The Opera mini issue will take some time. Has anyone tried just reinstalling it as well? No updates as of now but if I make any breakthroughs, I will definately let you guys know.
[HTC Excalibur] jgrv:
Well like you said to me ookba.. maybe the WifiInit.exe problem is Rose's ROM problem..

I've installed new Kavana's Rom now (it has MSN updated version).. then installed your '96dpi app for Kavana' but there were some errors in the display.. I uninstalled it..

Just for curiosity installed de '96dpi Rose Only' and it worked better haha.. but the msn didn't worked (although it has new Msn already installed).. so I unisntalled it again.. Haven't try it with opera.

Just for you to know...

I recomend the new Kavana's Rom.. is faster and has more storage/memory space.
[HTC Excalibur] fliparsenal:
so have u tried it with opera? does it display properly?
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
i did this on the HTCSlidingPanel cpr files and it screwed up both those files. i cant restore them? can someone post the original HTCSlidingPanel_320X240.cpr files from ricky&stylez rose ROM please?

and the cutoff at the top because of installing the 96DPI for rose is still there? anyway to get rid of this cuz changing the cpr files didnt work for me :(
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
also, the in-call screen for the ROSE ricky&stylez rom is not stretched to the bottom. its like an maximized window i can see the window behind it down there. any way to fix?
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
here you go.
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
oh thank you thank you

Should be fixed now in 1.54. Uploaded. Haven't had a chance to mess with Opera mini yet. I did find, however, that even at 131dpi, the fonts suck.
[HTC Excalibur] chelsea_fc:
is this patch work on the Kavana_090123 rom ??

thanks
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
It should. Can you provide a ROM download link so I can test it?

Tested. Since Kavana's 090123 ROM is based on the ROSE SYS, install the ROSE version of the 96dpi CAB.
[HTC Excalibur] fliparsenal:
wow ookba, i figured out how to fix the opera min fonts!

just follow roloracers instruction on this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=485591

you might wanna add this to your cab and update it
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
Good find! I will update tonight.

I guess what Opera does is loads the first font it finds in the Windows directory and uses it for Opera. So by having it named _Tahoma.ttf, its at the top of the list.

Uploading new files for both regular WM61 and ROSE WM61 soon. Opera fixed and some other fonts cleaned up!!
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
New files uploaded! Opera Mini font problem fixed. Please test.
