[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] airnan:
I agree with you :)

I like opera so so. Which doesn't mean that I like IE more at its actual version. I have seen IE 6 under WinMo 6.5 and looks way better.

What I would like to see, if noone is able to make a cab, is how to overwrite the actual version of IE with one of those cooked into ROMs. To put it simply... copy all the files required for IE6 into their respective folders to overwrite the existing to upgrade version the hard way.

Is this not possible also?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] NotATreoFan:
There are CAB files of IE6 floating around on XDA, but they don't work for 99% of the people who try them.

IE6 is very difficult to CAB up because of how deeply integrated into the OS core it is. Also, you need to be running a ROM based on specific OS builds.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] airnan:
Thanks :) I guess this closes the thread.

Regarding that cab file, I have not found it at all in this website, and have spent time searching :/
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kareeem:
Personally, i don't like PIE6 at all so imo, you're not missing out on anything.

Anyhow, thread closed per request.
[Touch HD General] panosc:
When I open the YouTube application I can search and view the icons of all the videos. This part works with 3G, WIFI or USB connection.

When I click on an icon to play a video it switches to landscape mode and it immediately prompts me the message "Connection Failed".

Keep in mind that I have Coreplayer installed and its YouTube function works fine.

Any ideas what may be wrong? Can anybody help?

Thanks,

Panos
[Touch HD General] harrispo:
I have the same problem :(
[Touch HD General] panosc:
Anyone else??? :(
[Touch HD General] arfster:
Use search.
[Touch HD General] finlay777:
YouTube connection failed

Searched a few threads and the problem still exist. Does anyone have any solution to this?
[G1 General] Blaze Falconburger:
I have searched and read the wiki but I couldn't find an answer which I'm sure has been asked before:

If I get an unlocked G1, do I need a T Mobile (UK) sim? I appreciate sim unlocking it means it should accept any sim but are there any features that only require the T Mobile network connection. I presume it won't update any more if I leave it on Vodafone for example?
[G1 General] grym:
No, you don't.

Any SIM with data plan will work just fine, only you'll need to add APN manually and you will not be able to use OTA updates.

I've bought about week ago G1 in sealed T-Mobile box, but it was unlocked and i put my O2 SIM and during activation entered data for O2 APN and got i work without any problems.
[G1 General] Dharkaron:
Actually you will still get the OTA updates even if you arent on tmobile. Google sends out the updates so all you need is some form of data connection, wifi or via your provider.

Yesterday my Hermes 300 just seized function and now i'm unable to use it.

When i power on the screen just turns white and thats all it does. I can connect it to my pc, get stuff from my SD card and connect it with Windows Mobile Device Center.

Is there any way of saving this Hermes with software?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Nokia 3650:
This means that one 'side' or 'half' of the ribbon connecting the LCD to the mainboard has been lifted (during normal) use. Thus the backlight wires are the only ones connected. This is an easy fix if you are willing to take the unit apart and re-seat the LCD ribbon to the mainboard.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Ram_Jam:
hmm, not what i hoped for but i'll give it a shot!
[Windows Mobile Themes] hanackin:
Thanks a lot my friend :D

this guy has a lot of talent !! :cool:

try it and you won't be disappointed :D:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
Thanks hanackin.

I'd be glad to know how it works on the Blackstone, as I experience lots of crashes with the WVGA emulator. Here or on Actualité Mobile ;)

It behaves fine on the Diamond, though.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MasterMerlin:
Thanks a lot!

Now I am using my favorit Contact manager again ... (was only due to lack of good VGA Skins)
[Windows Mobile Themes] lukymat:
Very good job, my friend. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Moguledyouth:
a couple things, I noticed that the settings.ini file was wrong in that the red.ini settings were set for both red and yellow options.

also I was wondering if the option to have the index on either side of the screen could be an option for the next release?

I love this skin keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] derekwilkinson:
Best looking PocketCM theme I've seen! Good work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Anth:

[Windows Mobile Themes] ajskhan:
Looks great, only an IDEA! how about one cab with PocketCm, The Skin, and TF3D Defaulting?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sean D.:
QVGA...?

I know you put QVGA in the zip with everything else, but I'd rather not install a 3mb file, can you make a QVGA file only?

:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Syd159:
Looks great, but the link is dead. Any mirrors?
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
Thanks for pointing this! Actually, it was correct in the separate language file "English.lang.ini".

Since it's not a big issue, I reuploaded the file with the correction.

I'd love to offer this option but PocketCM doesn't allow to put the index on the right side in its current version!

BTW, thanks for your kind words. :)

:)

Final version will be available as one CAB, especially to install fonts along with the skin.

Since not everybody use TouchFLO interface, I won't include defaulting in it.

BTW, I've not found a solution to set PocketCM as default contact manager in TouchFLO, but it has the option to come to front on new SMS and to be default WM contact manager.

If I find a solution for this, I'll certainly will make a configuration file available!

I'd prefer not, since 3MB does not look like space hungry to me.

Next release will use more compressed images and the whole ZIP file will approximatively weight less than 1.5MB!

If you want to save some space, open the ZIP and erase all files begining with "VGA_, "WVGA_" and if your phone is standard resolution "WQVGA_" aswell.
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
The link was dead during a couple of minutes, isn't it?

No mirrors allowed, but if you can't reach Mediafire at all, please take a look at your browser/cookies/internet settings.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lifesizepotato:
Maybe I'm slow, but I just can't find where the "options" button is with this skin on my HD. Any help?
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
That's very simple: keep pressing the phonepad button (fourth bottom button from left) until the menu appears.

You should see this:

It can take a long second first time it is displayed.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thejoker01:
This theme is really nice looking! I do have a slight problem though, I am using the theme on my Elfin (QVGA) and I've followed all your steps including copying the font files over to the Windows/Font folder. Unfortunately, all the fonts are still really blurry, any idea what's the cause of this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] wanwarlock:
wow! it's beautiful. thanks mate...
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
Blurry?

Sure QVGA looks blurry compared to VGA... Have you activated Cleartype?

Please post a screenshot unless I can't help.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thejoker01:
Ok here's my screenshot (cleartype enabled on left, cleartype disabled on right):

I'm not too sure...but something about the theme on QVGA does not look the same as you screenshots in the original post. Could it be because the theme does not downsize well to QVGA resolution? And the fonts look slightly different, did I do something wrong? I just coped the 2 font files over to my Windows/Font folder prior to installing the theme.

Thanks for your help.
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
Hmmm, yes, fonts are drawn a bit strangely in QVGA. I didn't noticed this because I'm developing the theme in VGA. But these are the good ones.

These are surely VGA fonts! :(

Maybe another font or another Helvetica version should be used in QVGA...

Also some graphics need to be a bit reworked for QVGA (dot lines for instance). I'll take a look a this when I'll make an update.

As a consequence too, graphics are downscaled versions of the VGA ones, but I think I've achieved pretty good results with graphics at downscaling them, taking in account that I did not redraw or retouch them.

They may look blurry compared to VGA but it's a matter of resolution.

Even if I can't help right now, I want to thank you for reporting this!

Alex.

Edit: Actually, it's "Helvetica LT 35 Thin" which is not suited for QVGA. I'm looking for a replacement font.

For the time being, you can try this:

-Quit PocketCM

-Open the ZIP file (best done via PC)

-Open "settings.ini"

-Replace this line "$font$=Helvetica LT 35 Thin" by this: "$font$=Helvetica LT 55 Roman"

-Save the file inside the ZIP

-Reload PocketCM.

And tell me :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] AlainL:
Nice ... but link dead

Hi,

This skin is looking very nice.

But, mediafire link is dead.

I found a link via pocketCM website
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
Thanks for reporting.

Actually, direct links don't stay if file is updated :mad:

This is corrected now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
I updated the theme according to your issue in QVGA, fonts should clearly readable now! Plus dot lines are now dots! :)

Hope you'll like it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] AlainL:
Tried your skin, and it look very nice and well finished.

Congratulation !

As you are asking for suggestion for custom settings, I got two :

- Could you add an option to have bigger font in contact list ?

I got a Diamond and when you want to call a contact while doing something else (like walking, ...) i find it's quite difficult to read name.

- I would love to have a pure black background in contact list. So an option to desactivate background would be nice

***

Félicitations !

Cette skin est vraiment bien finie.
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
Noté!

Nice suggestions. :)

Your requests will be added to next release.

Thanks for your comments and input.

Alex.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sebbit:
Your skin looks really great, but unfortunately it's very slow on my LG KS20 compared to other skins for PocketCM. I tried to improve the performance by disabling some functions (contact pictures etc.) but that didn't change anything. Is it normal, that your skin needs much more resources? And is there a chance to change that?
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
Yes and no, it's a matter of PocketCM + good looking skin! :)

Memory hungry, yes, but slow... No it shouldn't. And "very slow" :confused: Check your phone, because it simply cannot be very slow. Unless you didn't read the first post and the readme.

I'll try my best to reduce graphics weight in the next release and let's hope PocketCM will be less hungry too.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sebbit:
Sorry, I should have expressed myself more clearly.

The scrolling works fine in every menu once it is loaded. But after the touch on a menu item, contact or sms it "hangs" a while, sometimes up to 10 seconds.

OK, I'll wait for the next release hoping that it will not cause this issue any more.

EDIT: I did a clean (re)install of PocketCM and your skin an now the performance is much better. God knows, what happend before...

Thank you once again for your great work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
:confused: But glad that the issue is solved...

The skin is slow when first loaded but 10 seconds hang!

Thanks for your words :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] TomAngel:
Localization and Speed enhancements

Hi, you did a great work!

Added a german localization above.

If you want to speed up this theme do the following...

- extract .zip to a folder

- delete Graphics that do not match your resolution

that means only keep vga, qvga or qwvga files

and don't touch files that don't begin with those

- then rezip the files without compression

So I got a file only for qvga of 1MB size.

Runs pretty fast simylar to iOlio
[Windows Mobile Themes] thejoker01:
hey don_pipo

Sorry for not replying, I guess I forgot about this thread!

I just reflashed my ROM so I decided to upgrade to PCM 0.29 and Dark Diamond 0.9.1 and it looks fantastic! Thank you for putting in the fixes!
[Windows Mobile Themes] zanolla:
It seems to look great!

But I have a Samsung i780..

Is there a possibility to have the theme also available for 320x320?

It would be great!

p.s. I have already tried it on my phone, but there is some problem with the normal versione of the theme...

Thank you so much!
[Windows Mobile Themes] humanjoy:
I modified the image and fit nicely on my i780 with 96dpi

Attached is the theme for i780 square.

1 - Install PocketCM Contacts 0.29 (http://www.pocketcm.com/contact.php)

2 - Copy the i780_Q.zip to \Program Files\PocketCM in your phone, don't unzip it.

3 - Launch PocketCM and select the theme from Settings.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ehehat:
This looks great! any chance of getting the same thing done to match your blue M2D theme?
[Windows Mobile Themes] redflag:
Beautiful

The greatest artist from France since Eric Cantona! Seriously, though, you have done a great job, slick!
[Windows Mobile Themes] zanolla:
Uauh!!!!!

It looks really great!!!

Any chance to have the theme also for 128dpi?

In my opinion, fonts on 96dpi are too small...

Please, please, please... :p

Thank you!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] sgmbox:
where can i get the keyboard skin? thanks:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] zanolla:
no way? :( :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
Hey guys,

I've been away for some time and some things happened here...

@thejocker01: Thanks! Glad this suits your expectations :)

@humanjoy: Nice share... In the next update I will add a square resolution theme version, with correctly scaled backgrounds and images.

But for the time being, would you mind keeping away the link to your mod from your donation link? I don't ask for donation for my work, so you shouldn't, moreover if it's my work... Correct me if I'm wrong... :rolleyes:?

@redflag: ;)

@sgmbox: The keyboard is PocketCM Keyboard 0.14 along with the great Nottingham's Black Diamond skin which I like a lot.

@zanolla: PocketCM doesn't handle dpi for fonts but if you need bigger fonts, that should be manageable. It's already in the request list by the way!

Thanks for your support guys.

And if you like my work, and want to show your appreciation by buying a coffee or whatever, and because I don't ask for anything, please donate directly to Quentin Pouplard for its work on PocketCM which is HUGE compared to mine.

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Themes] zanolla:
Thanks don_pipo!

The problem for me is that the theme for i780 with 96 dpi doesn't fit well the screen on the i780 with 128 dpi. And I have the i780 in 128 dpi mode, so no way to have your skin looking good on my screen! :(

Bye!
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
I think it's PocketCM-related but can you post a screenshot to illustrate your problem?
[Windows Mobile Themes] lyllo:
cool job guys.

i just have a big problem tough.

when i start scrolling the list it remains at the bottom of the screen a "mass" of the scrolled contatcts making me impossibile to read what is in the lower part of the screen. the error persists even if i open the contact own page :(

is tehre any way to solve this and to make the program (just if i can solve this problem) the default one, meaning it pops up when i push the "show all" in the manila contact tab?

thank you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
Man, it looks like your problem is that you didn't even read the first post of this thread nor the readme... A clue: your phone has a wide resolution :)

SSMaho should do the trick for the default app but I can't guarantee this.

Don't thank me, thank yourself, I'm kind.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lyllo:
i solved by myself even without reading the "wide resolution" stuff.

i read both first post and the readme for the installation.

didn't synced the wide resolution with the visualization error.

anyway, regarding the second question, the program SSSMaho to me did not work. maybe something wrong?
[Windows Mobile Themes] iamrockrock:
CHinese

Hi~ I have to use Chinese in my phone~

After installing the dark diamond theme~ I can't view Chinese in the contact list : ) Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks : )
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
Hmmmm... Certainly because Dark Diamond uses custom fonts that don't include Chinese alphabet. Try deleting fonts included with the theme from 'Windows/Fonts' folder and tell me. PocketCM should use default system font if custom fonts are not present there.

Edit: I found this, maybe this can help? -> http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=129&t=1015673&last=11411320

I don't understand Chinese :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] bartbk:
Skin is great, but how to activate any SIP (keyboard) in Contact list mode? It was possible with orginal PocketCM skin. I miss that feature - not always scrolling is the fastest way to find contact.

Any idea how to activate kbd with this skin?
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
It's certainly a miss. I checked and it has been disabled by original author of the skin, since it was redundant with phonepad for contact search.

I tried to re-enable it but it causes some graphical glitches. Maybe we'll see it come back in the next version if I find a trick. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] bartbk:
What you mean redundant with phonepad? Phonepad writes only number - actually not so useless but completely different feature ;)

Re-enabling SIP is my wish - then this skin will be closest to perfection for me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
Phonepad does actually write only numbers but, when searching in the contact list, PocketCM takes in account both the numbers and the letters that match the numbers on the phonepad.

For instance, if you type 5646 with the phonepad, it displays all contacts with this sequence in the phone number but also all people that have JOHN in their name.

That's why it's redundant ;)

"Close to perfection" means to me "no graphical problems" and the SIP induce some in the contact list at least for the moment when the alphabetical index is displayed, so stay tuned for next skin release: I will revert SIP possibility if index isn't displayed.

-> Your wish will be granted in next release! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
bartbk wishes are granted so it's time for a tiny update!

And Dark Diamond has become "clear"...

See post #1 :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] bartbk:
SIP works perfectly. :D

You are generous to us like a real Don :).

I have noticed one minor "bug" with bigger and bolder fonts - the Polish characters like ż, ń are gone when this option is selected - it is propably some issue with fonts.

Thank you very, very much for SIP activation.

Regards,

BartBK
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
Strange, all fonts come from the same package and have the same version number...

I guess I must search for new fonts...

Are you using specific estern european fonts on your device? Or standard fonts just have the good characters?

Feel free to give me a push in the right direction!

BTW, as I'm used to, there could be some mistake in fresh uploads and I just found one: plain backgrounds broken, so redownload, and "sorry" :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] sean222:
Thanks alot...AMAZING skin! :D

Is it possible to hide the header bar? I see the option with other skins but not this one.

Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Themes] AlainL:
Thanks a lot for the update with nice new features :)

Bigger and bolder fonts are greats.

As is plain background...

It is rellay easier to read contacts.

Just a little problem with new version (or maybe, it's done on purpose ?) related to "option du theme" (theme option) - "Liste : design" :

If I choose "Image à droite" (image on right), there is no more direct acces to letter in list (press and hold on the edge of screen then scroll up&down to display letter).

If I choose "Image à droite + index" all is OK.

Anyway, a very nice upgrade
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
@AlainL: Merci! It's always nice to have tough feedback like yours :)

Yes, indeed, "no index" are "pure scrolling plus phonepad search" now.

Moreover, I've always found that browsing with the border index was not that easy with the thumb so it's a kind of "thumb mode".

And now, you can search more precisely contacts using the SIP in this mode!

It was also a request by the original skinner if I remember well.

But for the story, hidden index was freezing the program in daily builds, I thought it was Dark Diamond's fault, but actually it's not, it's a bug. :) Voila!

If you want me to revert to previous behaviour then I'll do it. But I think it's benefic not to overcharge the screen with action captions.

@sean222: I should work on the "noheader" option, but I was too lazy to put myself on it, maybe in next version ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Harboe:
Hi there

First off, I love your skin. Great work. I have a few questions though:

I would love for it to write the number of sms, like the default Dream theme does.

I there a chance to make it capitalize the first letter after each punctuation?

And like someone else asked, hiding the top bar, so it doesn't have "double" if it's not full screen.

Keep up the good work.

Flemming
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
Thanks!

I should work harder on this!

Ask on PocketCM thread/forum, or use a SIP that can do this, I'm no help here.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Harboe:
Nice, thanks for the quick reply don_pipo. :-)
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
Hey guys, I updated the skin (I've had time today :)).

So there's now SMS counter and no header options available.

Enjoy!

Now the the skin is fullfilled with custom options. I've no time to make extensive tests, so please report any problem you may encounter!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Harboe:
Nice work mate. Everything seems in order.

Had another thought, but doubt it's possible. When a sms have been send, is it possible to return to the previous view? Like the "SMS View", that I always use. :-)
[Windows Mobile Themes] don_pipo:
Ask on PocketCM forum or thread! Again! ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] wapvirus:
