Sorry guys, I haven't had time to look into what's causing the bricking. I hate it when real life interferes with e-life :)

speoples20,

Here's the first Rusty Metal RC33 port I made, the one that I figured ought to work but for some reason didn't: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8WX95UQJ

Thanks for volunteering to try it out despite the risks.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] sino8r:
mannyb, I believe he is right... it's something to do with the file size of the new themes and the amount of space RC33 takes up. There is a RC33 lite addition that I will try and see if that works otherwise, I'm not sure... is it possible to compress some images or something to get the theme size down some?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
Unlike jpeg, png does not offer compression, not as far as I'm aware at least. But I could of course lower the color depth of some of the pngs. That ought to cut quite a few kB's off the size.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] pearce616:
gah... i really am looking forward to this coming to rc33 it looks amazing. i wish i could offer help but i just picked up a book on java so it will be a while
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] sino8r:
Eeekkk! I got it to work! I haven't tried every feature but it booted all the way! I used RC33 lite version and updated and loaded the theme and everything seems okay so far...

here's the link for RC33 lite: http://www.mediafire.com/?zy4myowmmil

(beware the only drawback so far is you're stuck with only 3 notification sounds and 1 ringtone, lol!) I think I'll add some old WM ones myself now that the update is done...

update about RC33 lite... all the old ringtones, alarms and notifications from RC30 and Non-lite version of RC33 can used if you extract RC30 or 33 (non-lite version) and go into system/media and extract all those sounds and load them into your storage card. just extract in this order folder order system/media/audio/"3 folder names" into storage card and then delete F1_new_missedcall, F1_new_mms, and F1_new_sms from the notifications folder (so you don't have duplicates! These are the 3 audio files already in the RC33 lite sounds) you may want to do so with the one ringtone also if you use android's ringtones (I made my own so I don't care about that one). No disk partitions needed for this. leave everything as is and just copy the files to sd card if you want the old sounds back without the space wasted. Good idea until the RC30 themes are updated to RC33.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
Oh man, this is great news. Now I know what I have to do, since it obviously is a space issue (or lack thereof). I'll run all (well, most anyway) my Rusty Metal elements through PS and use indexed colors/256 instead of full RGB. That ought to cut the file size down by as much as 70% in some files. The image quality will take a slight hit, but in most cases you won't even notice it since the images are so small.

Thanks for trying it out man!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] sino8r:
Good, I hate having so few sounds but how will it look with reduced color? Probably not even noticeable, I hope. I heard manup456 is having a hard time with his themes and image quality and color reduction but then again his themes (zips) were always a lot larger than yours. He tends to modify every little aspect (every boarder in each stock program and further more) which is good and bad. In this case with RC33, he'll just have to cut back on some things like customized boarders in every menu tab and program or reduce image quality or color which may not look so good but I guess it depends how drastic the image reductions or colors are. well, i glad I was able to help out with something!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] speoples20:
I just got home from work sounds like you guys got it working. Gonna give it a shot here in a moment and will give an update if it works.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] sino8r:
hey! thanks for the idea! Check a couple posts above to get all the old ringtones, notifications, and alarms back by loading on sd card without any added or extra partitions. It seems to work just by the order of the system folders. well, thanks again for reminding me about the space issue:D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
The difference is in most cases not noticeable. Let me give you an example:

Full RGB version of the Rusty Metal status bar

Indexed color/256 version of the status bar

Can you tell them apart?

The RGB version is 20.16 kB and the IC/256 version is 8.13 kB, which means we've saved about 60% in file size/space.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] speoples20:
Ok I got it to work!!!:D I'm using the RC33 light. I don't mind not having any of the tones as I use my own mp3s. But its up and running and thats all that matters!:D:D:cool:
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
Ok, I have a Rusty Metal RC33 candidate ready for an adventurous soul to try out. Someone who's not using the diet version of RC33, preferably, since that's our goal here; to get the damn thing working on the "stock" JFv1.4x RC33's.

What I have done is simply to convert some of the larger modified png's from full RGB to IC/256, which tends to cut the file size by between 40 and 70%. I have also removed some unnecessary elements, such as some of the wallpapers (both default and custom ones). Furthermore I have removed all app apk's that are left "unskinned" in this theme anyway, which is about half of them. Doing that might or might not cause the phone to get bricked. I don't know if some apk's are required or not. They should not be since they're already on your phone, but who knows. Also; some icons might look choppy/jagged. This will be fixed in a later release if we can get the theme working properly.

All in all the file size of update.zip is down from roughly 13 MB to 9.4 MB.

So, if you are interested in giving it a try and you are aware of the risks involved with trying out untested themes, and know how to restore a bricked phone, drop me a PM. Oh, and you need to be running the stock JFv1.4x RC33, not the RC33 lite version.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] sino8r:
Nevermind... pmed for the beta link.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] bakgwailo:
Just wanted to say this does not work with the stock ADP1.1 official holiday release or JF1.43ADP1.1H release, bricks on both on the android screen (infinite loop FTL).

Sucks, as I was really looking forward to using this theme, I love it!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] SVTRacer:
Sucks because I was really enjoying this theme until the last update.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Manilus:
I can vouch for it not working on the latest ADP1.1 update as well. Vintage works though.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
Another stab at Rusty Metal for RC33. Note that it's 100% untested. Try it at your own risk. Remember to backup first.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2DCDKVU7
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] sino8r:
Works perfectly on the unmodified RC33 version! No bugs found. mannyb does it again! Thanks!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
Oh thank god. I have been so effing close to giving up on that theme several times. I never even liked it to begin with damnit :D

Oh, does multitouch in the browser work btw? I had to tinker a bit to get it to work in my ADP1.1h version.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] DanOtero:
Am finally back on Rusty Metal !!! Thanks for sticking to it

I loved this theme the minute I saw it... but then all the versions that keep coming up it's hard to keep up with them. I used applytheme to install the theme (after 'extracting' it from the latest RC33 you posted, using the toat tool) onto my ADP1 on JFv1.43 ADP1.1h version.

This tool seems like it could be very useful to theme developers (draw once use many :) ). I hope it catches on.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] sino8r:
Yeah, I am glad you figured it out. It was about the .png conpression, right? How can you not like your own theme, lol?! It's one of the coolest themes around. Well, I am happy now that everyone else can enjoy it now (for those who didn't use RC33 lite. Oh, btw, multitouch works well.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
Yeah, it was the compression issue. I don't know, I just had an idea and people seemed to like it so I felt I had to make it happen. I prefer sleek/minimalistic themes rather than the gritty/rugged ones. Good to hear multituch is intact, I was worried I had screwed things up.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] isitoutthere:
Brick and fix

Currently running rc33 works now had to wipe and then update in one step without rebooting in between.

I love this theme thanks for the amazing work on it. My new fav =)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] speoples20:
So are you going to release a ADP1.1h version? I'm running RC33 but would like to go back to ADP1.1h.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
There will most likely be an ADP1.1h version out today.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
ADP1.1h version released. Check first post of the thread for download link, instructions and notes. Confirmed working on at least one ADP1.1h phone.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
RC8 version released too. Untested - Use at own risk!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] agentaaron:
Thank you manny...I love your theme. I mada a few wallpapers last night that look awesome with it...just thought I would share.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] speoples20:
You rock mannyb!! This is by far my favorite theme. Gonna make the switch this evening.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
Nice, I'll add the links to your wallpapers to my original post.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] uberingram:
Working great. The weird thing was when it booted for the first time....any icon on the home screen didn't work...like they weren't there. Rebooted the phone and everything came back.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
Very odd. I have had one or a few icons disappear on me like that a couple times, but never that many. A reboot sorted it out for me too though.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] uberingram:
They didn't disappear....they just didn't respond to any touch or track ball clicks but opening the application tab worked fine. Very strange but like you said, a reboot fixed it right up.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
Oh, well that's a new one. Good to hear a reboot sorted it out though. Almost a bit reminiscent of a certain William Gates OS.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] bakgwailo:
Just wanted to chime back in and say that the ADP1.1Holiday version works peeeeeerfectly now ! THANKS!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] uberingram:
Well I've tracked down my Latitude problems and it's definitely being caused by the theme. With the theme installed Latitude will not update my Friend's list. It says it does but none of their locations change. Trying to add new friends results in a "There was an error, try again later" message. Flashing back to JF1.43ADP1.1h immediately fixes these issues. I've replicated it 4 separate times and the problems ALWAYS return the second the theme goes back on.

:(
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
I'll look into that, not sure what's going wrong though.

** Edit

Try this one, if you feel up to doing some trial and error: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=616A7D6A

Great to see to many options for folks! Here are some wallpapers that go with this theme and Vintage War quite well.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] SpyderMS:
Installed this theme today, and I like it a lot other than the fact that I can barely read status messages and such when my backlight is dim, or even when it's bright, for that matter (though it is much better). This isn't a big deal, as most notifications aren't really important (I have SMS Popup, so no need to see SMS' in the tray), but if you could come up with a lighter task bar, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one to appreciate it :)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] speoples20:
Hey mannyb finally got around to the adp1.1h version. A few things happened when I installed the theme. The firstr thing I noticed was Terminal Emulator dissappeared?, not a big deal just reinstalled it from the market. The other thing I noticed was both Launch Pad and Quick Calender are having issues. Quick Calander doesnt always show up for my appointments and will only show one day. Launch Pad just keeps saying that my version has expired and install the current version. Gonna flash back to the orginal theme after work and see if that fixes it.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] uberingram:
Bingo. Whatever you did seemed to have worked. It's been an hour and people who are know are moving are refreshing like they should be. I'll continue to keep an eye on it as the day moves forward.

You, my good friend, are awesome. :)

Hey, i've been looking around online for a good extended battery for the touch pro and i found this one: http://www.xell.hk/e/default_home.asp?url=http://www.xell.hk/e/product/product_detail.asp?sku=5456

So far this is the only battery i've seen over 1800mAh with a good looking battery door, and from the tiny pic, it looks like it doesn't have a protruding back. I'm most likely gonna try it out but was wondering if anyone else has before i do.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] mputtr:
It does have a protruding back. if you look carefully the battery is thicker than the original and the backing on the picture is also a blank rubberish thing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] tnvento97:
it doesn't look like it would stick out too much in my opinion, although i don't really care for the triangle design on the back plate.

so i guess no one has used one of these yet? i wonder how much better the battery life would be...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] player911:
the picture makes the battery look awefully thin. Be wary of some of those chinese (hong kong) knock offs. I've found that even though they boast a large mAh they don't hold a charge very well.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dkwalsh:
Hi SatScan. Can you elaborate please? Are you saying that in fact it won't be easy to update the HD to WM6.5, but we'll need to wait until WM7? Do you think WM7 is likely to be much more resource intensive, such that the memory and CPU of the HD wont be adequate?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RSchris:
WM6.5 ? Do not expect something from this... The only way to have a finger friendly phone is, imho, pointui 2...

Maybe WM7, but release at the end of the year... WM is again in late...

Yesterday I've tried the beta WM6.5 build that is floating on the web. I hope that what I've seen is all due to the beta state of the build.

Many many things don't work. For example, g-sensor doesn't work, camera doesn't work, all "not hardware buttons"(phone button, home button...), work like softkey...

But I've to say that yesterday was only a try, I've done all in a speedy way. I'll try other things in these days. I hope these things can be fixed.

Yes, but as I've said for now all it's really buggy. The principal problem is that autorun doesn't work with this build, then many things releted to it don't work.

In addition, I've tried to use some of the cabs to make working the new WM6.5 today but for now it doesn't work, when I install them I do a soft reset then the device freeze before opening the today, same thing if I cook they directly into the rom. I've tried in different ways but for now nothing to do.

But I'll see what I can do in the next days.

I'm not sure that file included in that cab IE8 are Ie8... are the same of IE6 included in some rom!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xplode:
ok to clear some thing about IE the version of PIE is 8.12 the version on which is based is IE6 (from PC) thats why people keep getting confused this version has nothing to do with PIE6 and it is not the same as the one in WM6.1. PIE 8.12 has a lot better zooming and finger scrolling, also the progress bar is moved right below the addressbar and saves some space for the page viewing i will post some screenshots of it later

if you wonder why there are few cabs i will say only this - Blueangel has 32 mb ROM - so you can imagine how hard it is to build a rom in such little space, thats why some parts of the rom are removed and added as cabs

To add something else, this rom is not fake. It is Mixture of 21139 and 21143 both WM 6.5 roms, also there is another leaked version 21140

Here are some PIE 8.12 screenshots: loading page, scrolling, zooming
