Can you make the Home black with just clock then have the other 3 tabs with first being the current home tab, the next would be launcher and the last would be contacts but with 3 pages. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Awesome Theme.

Icons shifting

:confused:Anyway to get a fix for this???....Anybody???
[Windows Mobile Themes] test1:
It's really hard to setup.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
Sorry folks, I've been away too long! I lost my vogue, then got a replacement, then had to send it back cause of a defective screen. I've got a better one now, but haven't had the time to do any mods. I've also got a new theme in early stages, so i've been neglecting this baby.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So to attempt to answer a few questions....

First, you have to add a larger icon to MenuIcons2_9.bmp in the qp_menu_btn.dat file. Then you can create a custom menu link and select that icon, or edit the registry to associate that program with said icon. I can help if you like. Supply some icon ideas and I'll see if I can add them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'd have to edit the .dat files to your liking. I recommend searching the threads for the Mobile Shell Beginners How-to Thread. That's what got me goin'!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The re-draw bug is due to the fact that I resized the menuicons2_*.bmp files to display the large icons. The default size is 32X32 and mine are 56X56 I believe. I haven't found a way around this, in coding or the registry. However there is good news for the glass icon version, I think I can fix it. The white parts of the icons are small enough to fit in the default files. An update is coming soon!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually, this sounds like a pretty good layout. I was hoping some people would make suggestions such as this. Will do after the re-draw fix. Anyone prefer glass icons, or the default(realized) ones?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd also like to invite comments on updates and requests for icons or mods, please ask! I'd like to thank you all for trying, and to everyone who has made a donation! Talk to you soon!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mikentucson:
thanks mtstmp for keeping us up to date. i dont have near as much time on my hands as i use to or i'd mess around with it myself. its a very nice layout. simple, colorful. i'll keep checking your thread :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
Re-Draw Fix

Using this file will resolve the issue with the icons being "smooshed" after a jump to the today screen!

**Note this only works with the glass icons version**
[Windows Mobile Themes] IVIacGyver:
Can you do the re-draw fix for the other set of icons as well. I like the other one better. And if you could work on the layout that i requested that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Redraw fix

Thanx for the fix!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] ZED_pt:
Any answer for this?

It would be the perfect setup if i could add my program icons like Opera as an example,using my own Iphone look-alike icons
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
Additional Icons

just add your icons to the MenuIcons2_9.bmp file in the qp_menu_btn.dat file. Then they should be selectable in the customize menu submenu. There is also possibly a regedit to enable mobile shell to always associate programs with custom icons, so it will also have that icon in the "programs" menu. Post your icons here if you have trouble, or name the programs you want custom icons for, and i'll see if I can come up with some. Happy skinning!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
Redraw Fix

I have spent many hours looking for a solution to the redraw problem, and have concluded that I cannot solve it. The solution lies somewhere in the programming. As far as I can tell, mobile shell will revert to the default windows mobile icon size for 240x320 QVGA screens from time to time, (i.e. refresh from today screen), which is 32x32 pixels. The icons I have created rely on a .bmp file of 54x54, which creates a conflict. The icons are displayed as if the file is 32x32, and cuts off a portion. The "glass" icons are saved in the default size, which resolves the problem. Anyone who knows programming, or can help with this issue, would be a big help with this problem. As it is right now, I don't see a solution. As a small consolation, there is a MortScript that someone came up with to restart mobile shell without a soft reset of your PPC. I'm not sure who it was, but kudos to them for coming up with it, it's a valuable tool. Running this mortscript will resolve the issue within a few seconds, and draw the icons like new. Download MortScript, and this file, then click on it in explorer to run. Thanks again for trying my theme, and thanks for the donations.

new icons

Just working on a new icon pack, the black neon agua. This is just another set ported from the iPhone community. I did make some, but most are pre-made. Will probably post the beginning of next week, i'm going out of town next few days. Here's a screeny. I will release a quick version first I think, then I should be able to do a bug free after. Or I might wait to release when stable. What do you think?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mikentucson:
post it up!
[Windows Mobile Themes] reamalaka:
So I understand what your saying about custom icons. Going in spb menu customize menu and you can add links in under catagories or under my menu. This works great.

For example I like your calculator icon but mine shows default.

So I add a link under organizer and set icon to the calc from you skin.

Then i go to manage pinned and check the calculator box under the organizer.

But this doesn't work. I can't get any custom menus to show up on the launcher screen. The menu does get created but manage pinned just unchecks the box when i go back in and look.

I would love for this part to work cuz then we call fully customize the icons as you described above.

Please let me know if this is a bug or if I am..
[Windows Mobile Themes] reamalaka:
Also when managing pinned icons I can select 30 then it says you can only have 25 pinned. But it says that on number 31 and unchecks the last box. So why would it do this when to begin with there are only 18 spots on the launcher?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
Do you mean the icon displays as default, or the calculator link doesn't show up at all?

I enjoy my new Pixel 4a 5G, but 5G does not work at all in The Netherlands for the 4a 5G and the Pixel 5.

Google has apparently decided to not enable 5G yet in these phones, very frustrating!

Does anyone know how it maybe be possible to enable it in the phone, so I can enjoy 5G on the T-Mobile network?

T-Mobile says that 5G is fully working, just like with other providers in NL.

Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] gee2012:

So yes, Google must enable it, most likely with a (future) software update.

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] mordof:
Read that

It's the solution, this worked for me!

By lemon200

Good news everyone! I managed to enable 5G connectivity for my Pixel 5 in Finland. Thanks again to @cstark27 for hinting me to the right direction.

1. First you need to get your phone to show up in QPST. This is done similarly to Pixel 4 XL and you can find the the steps to do so here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=83499679&postcount=75

2. Once you have installed QPST open EFS tool. If you have followed the steps in the previous step and have the right drivers installed your phone shows up here. Now you need to navigate to the carrier policy file. More details here: https://mt-tech.fi/en/modify-oneplus-7-pro-5g-8-and-8-pro-nr-lte-a-band-combos/

3. PLEASE remember to backup the original file! Pixel 5's file is different from the OnePlus example linked above. I simply added 5G to every rat_capability field, saved the file and then replaced the original file with the modified one. As usual, you have all the responsibility of your device and its modifications.​

Now that 5G is working, all that's left is to find a way to enable VoLTE. Replacing MBN files has worked in other devices so perhaps it could be the solution here as well.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] JohnLynchSF:
dual sim 5G support seems like it's coming with a software update

I looked in all mobile settings, but I cannot let the phone find any 5G network.

I'm also still in contact with Google about this issue.

Still no clear answer.

This is frustrating...
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] gee2012:
Did you do a speedtest after the update? My downloadspeed is way higher (double speed) then before for me. Its just that i still have the 4G icon showing but i think i have 5G speeds

-EDIT- Still on band 3 1800+, so still LTE+

Link to clarifying post about 5G and Dual Sim https://www.xda-developers.com/goog...uture-update-for-the-pixel-5-and-pixel-4a-5g/. Guess we`ll have to wait for the next update.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] nl1010:
Thanks for the info.

No, I did no speedtest, I think it's still the same, I'll test it later.

I'm not using the same phone every day, I switch from time to time. ;-)

And I still wait for a clear answer from Google, I'll post it here later...

Then we wait for the January update I suppose...

On the positive side, the phone is really good, and it takes one of the best photos!

The UI and apps are fluently without lag, much better than Android 11 on the Pixel 3a XL.

Only app that feels not fast is YouTube, especially when turning the phone from portrait to landscape.

Then I notice lag.

Are there any tips to make this work better?

Thanks ! It works perfectly for Free Mobile in France too !

Edit : To make it completely work on the n28 too, I had to enable DSS by editing the lte_feature_restrictions.xml file too. Otherwise it would only show "5G" but never actually connect to the n28 antenna. You can check that by using NSG or dialing *#*#4636#*#* : you should see "NR State : CONNECTED" instead of "NOT_RESTRICTED".

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] nl1010:
Hello Guys,

Meanwhile I sold my Pixel 4a 5G.

I didn't like it that much in the end, so I'll keep my 3a XL as my Google phone.

And Google will maybe provide an update somewhere in 2021, but no guarantees.

I had a OnePlus 8 Pro for a few days and I tested 5G with it on T-Mobile here in The Netherlands.

I'm very disappointed how "fast" 5G is at the moment! (only Sub-6 available)

It's mostly slower than 4G and less stable.

And the battery is running out much faster with 5G enabled.

Long story shot, 5G will be no issue for the coming few years.

5G will only be good if mmWave 5G is working in a large area.

Up till then, 4G is good enough!

Happy Holidays and wish you all the best for 2021!

Times are changing for oneplus. Seems like software support will be worse in the years coming.

I love my oneplus 7T. It's nearly the perfect phone for me. Right now I'm on the latest open beta, rooted with arter97 kernel. Amazing experience. Could easily keep this phone for many more years to come..

But.. If official updates is lacking, we need proper ROMs, and a functional twrp and good dev support. Is there any chance this will change in the future? Or is official twrp dead?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] brisseau:
To the developer community out there, please correct me if I'm wrong.

The biggest obstacle to a "functional TWRP" is the decryption issue that OnePlus will hopefully address. If that gets resolved, we should see the ROM community take off. I agree that the 7T is a phenomenal phone and damned near perfect. That being said, I'd give almost anything to see Paranoid Android on this phone!
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Kaesberg:
Twrp works to flash roms. Try looking into GSI for now since the twrp we have now does not support oos backup but we have a few roms guys.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Lossyx:
What is a proper ROM according to you?

There are very stables ROM in the development section.

And you don't need TWRP at all. Convenient sure, but absolutely not needed.

You can push the zip to /cache and flash fine. TWRP is not the reason for 'lack' development. An *actual* dev would have been able to build a ROM without any need of TWRP.

There are already good ROMs here in XDA, and you can find more on Telegram.

That being said, TWRP has made lots of progress on Android 10 and 11. Dynamic partitions should be fully handled, and fastbootd tools should be working too.

Just sync the sources alongside mauronofrios tree and test away.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] aragog53:
As said upper, twrp is not an issue for devs, neither for us to flash roms

Amount of roms simply relies on the amount of people having this device. As OP released several phones (7, 7T, 7 pro), it seems normal we have less roms.

As a counterpart, Android's updates make it more easy to port roms, and most devices now share bigger part of dev tree.

AFAIK Paranoid Android 11 was just released on 8 & 8T.

7 & 7T will follow pretty soon, just be patient. Not every dev team has all devices to build up roms.

By the way, such topic won't change anything, maybe try financially supporting devs or learning to port roms by yourself.

when i check my balance it shows failed and sometimes when a message comes the screen turns on and then after 2-3mins the message is recieved

any ideas if this is a radio problem because on other cell phones this works fine
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
By other phones do you mean non windows mobile phones.

I ask because they work in a different way when it comes towaking up the phone software for incoming calls and messages.

In simple terms a non wm phone is always on but the screen is off (so it reacts almost instantly). A wm phone cannot run all the time in the background or else the battery would be flat in no time - what with it's larger operating system and running applications. (It therefore has to truly wake up and start all those processes going - this takes time. It also accounts for the screen coming on and then a delay before it starts up the messaging/phone applications before either the phone call or text message can come through.

This delay is a price you pay for a more sophisticated phone wih more processes to run. There is however talk of the WM system being changed to run continuously like a regular phone - because in practice it takes a lot of power to start and stop the process when we put the wm phone in standby. So the benefit of stopping and starting processes may not be as great in saving power as first thought.

Regarding your other issue with the short codes for getting your balance for example. In my case with O2 *#10# should get my balance. I have never got this to work on my unlocked phone - it always fails. Whether this is true of a phone tied to a particular network I'm not sure. Perhaps someone else has an answer.
