[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Jordan88:
Thanks kraize,I have never used wisbar advance, can you actually make it clear or would I have to skin it with the photo?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Kraize:
Not sure about that one. I know that one person skinned it with a photo to make it look clear. I know you can make it very close using transparency. But don't know if it'd be completely clear.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Omareo:
It is possible, there is a program out there called "PMC TodayShrink", im sorry i don't have a link for it, i used it on my kaiser to see the full today screen ( i had a nice rl today theme) but with the kaiser i had enough buttons to simulate the hidden softkeys, but with the diamond this will be something else......

Edit: i think i misunderstood you here, did you mean transparent?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Jordan88:
Yeah, transparent. I don't want to remove the taskbar and softkeys, i just want to make the black bars transparent or rather, completely remove any colour so that it just looks like the softkey writing is on the background picture. Exactly like with the no curtains .cab, where the date and the service provider writing now just looks like it is on the background picture.

And i checked out wisbar advance 3.0 and that could potentially work by just creating a skin for it that will just continue the background picture, but it also changes / adds a lot that i don't want.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] chicubs:
Bumping this thread....Is it now possible to make the black bars that house the taskbar and softkeys transparent when using TF3D2?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Max_Terrible:
A transparent bar would be awesome, but I realize this isn't as simple.

What I would like to know is how to change the colour of the bars?

I know is is possible, because I've seen WM6.1 themes that has the taskbar coloured.

I would just like to make the bar something a little more exciting than plain black.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found a little program here on XDA that changes the taskbar colour along with some text colours, as well. Really awesome program! It can be found here.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mmaureenn:
There are a bizillion ways to accomplish this... editors galore... but the simplest way IMO is to use a .tsk file. They're all over, but I have collected several - both shiny bars and flat matte. I've posted my screen to show one shade of purple (I have two)... Just apply your TF3D theme and choose a complimentary tsk file... It will change all of the windows colors (ie, menus, scrollbars, taskbars, etc.), but not those of TF3D. It is my experience that those colors remain true to the theme. However, there are several "focus" cabs around that will change the TF3D selected items colors.

I have several colors in both styles (and a few focus colors)... if there is something in particular you have in mind, let me know and I'll upload it if I have it. :D

redundant post
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Max_Terrible:
Thanks a lot for the help offer, I must probably have just found the solution when you replied.

Just about anything concerning manila I already have covered and have an extensively modified theme for manila, I'm just waiting for a particular slider that will complete my TF3D theme. Slider

A coloured taskbar was the next step and now I have that covered, as well :-D

I've attached a screenie of my today screen. The clock I made myself; it was supposed to look like carbon, but I failed, sadly. I like your clock, though, but it won't fit with my theme.

Thanks again. I appreciate it a lot and just might call on your help one day :-D

EDIT: Okay, seems I needed your help earlier than I expected :-D

How did you get your "start" text to show "Maureen"? I followed the steps posted at PPCGeeks by Tsowen (don't have the link with me now), but I can't find the string they're referring to in my shellres.192.dll :/

Oh, and how did you get the "alarm" text to go away, as well? As you can see, mine still shows "6:00 AM" for my alarm and I'm not sure which text to remove from the manila file to hide that, as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] initialdisaster:
I was wondering where you got your purple taskbars, I've been searching all over!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mmaureenn:
I modified the file "shellres.dll.0409.mui" to change the start text... string value 321, by following the same instructions to which you refer...

It's not gone... it's just gray. Not sure how it got that way, though. LOL If I figure it out, I'll let you know. :)

Sorry I wasn't any more help. I seem to remember having to try, try again with the Start text, though. See if you have better luck using the file I've indicated above. Here are the instructions as I saved them:

Change Start Text

1. Unsign your shellres.dll.0409.mui

2. Open it in one of these three Reshack / PE Explorer / Restoratorand go to string value 321 and change the name from Start to whatever you want.

3. Save your modified file

4. Open MssignerorMultiple file Signer

· click Start sign Process (for MFS follow directions in the link)

· a window will pop-up with "Process finished!"

· You will see a that a text file has been create for your shellres on your desktop

· Open the text file, if you see "Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped, Succeeded" you know the file was signed.

5. Transfer the modified file to your SD card

6. Open TC and navigate to the /Windows and rename your old file to "shellres.dll.0409.mui.bak"

7. Move your modified file from your SD card into the /Windows

8. Soft Reset updated 12/09/08

(From THE Custom Taskbar thread on PPCGeeks by TSOwen)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mmaureenn:
Your search has ended... :)

I found these searching around... the first zip contains two shades of purple shiny bars, the wm_purple contains flat bars. I am also attaching a purple WMP (the original, just purple) skin which matches 75769.tsk... portrait and landscape (PURPORIG.zip). Just unzip and copy the files into Windows (after you make a back up of the originals, of course).

I hope this helps... xoxo
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
Would be cool if you/someone could make a taskbar.tsk which is black gloss, the htc black is just total black so it's a bit ugly :P Also I need to ask, I can't seem to put my Diamond in portrait mode in WMP even tho I have a skin for it. What's wrong? :E
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mmaureenn:
Have you tried opening WMP while already in landscape mode? I have a touch pro and mine won't go landscape until I slide out the keyboard. Do a search for apps that address the g sensor/accelerometer (I thnk...LOL).

Below is a cab for "glossy black bars"... I've never tried it. I also have a tsk file with shiny gray bars... might be a good contrast to your theme.

[G1 Android Development] fattywarbucks:
If I use jf's mod'd firmware, will I still have myfaves functioning as it normally would. I need to continue routing my grand central calls through myfaves or my phone bill will be out of control.

Also, does anyone else have any similar methods for saving minutes.

I appologize in advance for this question not being entirely developmental in nature; feel free to threadlock me at any time(just let me get a yes or no on my question first please ;P)
[G1 Android Development] sinbot:
You don't actually need MyFaves on your phone to use it. You can update and maintain the numbers online so no you shouldn't lose that ability. Also as long as you use a RC33 version than your phone will still have MyFaves installed.
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
I have GC (sorry everyone... no invites) and use it as a Myfaves. You should never have to access your GC account through Myfaves because all of your calls should be INCOMING. Now if you want to place a call there is a GC app which includes a dialer so you can use that instead of the standard dialer. It works pretty much the same except after you hit the send key a message comes up that says "Waiting for GrandCentral to call" and then your GC number comes up as an incoming call. Answer it and then it connects you to the number you dialed. I also have my VM set though it. Settings>Call Settings>Voicemail and set your GC number from your contacts and your done!

The fw version is actually insignificant. I used this method BEFORE I rooted my phone and even used it on my Krzr K1 back in the day.

Kind of a long winded "yes or no" but I'm certain that this answers your question.
[G1 Android Development] aukicadeso:
The name of the GC app mentioned above is G1 Central. Of course you need a GC account to use it. It would be nice if Google ever opened the service up. Nice complement to the phone.
[G1 Android Development] fattywarbucks:
Yeah, I use G1 central to dial out and have all my incomming calls come from my grand central number which is in my myfaves, so I don't use any minutes...ever. I just don't want to lose that when I root.

Thanks for the help.
[G1 Android Development] muttley06:
does anyone have grand central invites i would like to give it a try
[G1 Android Development] Dimath:
Men... that's awesome! Free mobile minutes you have... Why didn't I think about that?? Phone proxy, lol :)
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
As far as I know the invites option has been removed. I tried looking for it last week to send some out but it's nowhere to be seen. Google acquired GC a couple years ago I think but as far as I know they haven't done anything with it. It's still technically in a beta stage. There has also been a couple of times that I tried dialing out from the G1 Cental app and it didn't go though. No explaination on why. I checked their site and it said that I needed to "renew credits" to continue. Something tells me that when (or if) Google pulls this off their back burner they will probably charge people for outgoing calls. So I try not to send many of my out going calls through it unless I'm really hurting on my minutes (I only have the 300 min myfaves plan). The best thing about it with the G1 Central app is that you actually have a visual voicemail and you never have to delete the vm messages either. Bad thing about that though is that you have to download the message as an mp3 file which gets stored onto your card and you listen to it like you would a regular media file. That is only if you want to use the visual voicemail feature though. But I love my GC because it saves me HUGE on the minutes and I would gladly pay for the service... but within reason.
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
Rooting doesn't have anything to do with your Grand Central service.

Heck... you can use Grand Central through your home or office phone if you like.

Here's how it works:

You have your GC number: 555-123-4567

You have your home number: 555-321-9876

You have your office number: 555-111-2222

You give out your GC number to your friends/family or whoever and you set it up to forward to one (OR EVEN BOTH) of your other numbers.

IF they call your home or office then it goes through like regular.

Now I have my voicemail service for T-Mobile as my GC number.

So after 4 rings (or whatever) instead of it going to my VM it goes to my GC number and then gets sent right back to my phone. If I still don't answer then it goes to my GC voicemail.

GC also has a spam filter and a caller blocking feature as well which makes it nice to get rid of telemarkers. If you want to block someone they get a fake "The number you have dialed has been disconnected or is no longer in service..."

Great success! -Borat
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Glad I snagged an invite way back when. Its been a life saver when G1 Central came out.

Try Radio 1.47. It should be the best radio rom.

Iskreno da ti kazem,malo sam ekseprimentisao i ubacio ovaj novi Radio ROM 1.56.70.11 i radi isto, sto znaci da ovdje nema nekih posebnih problema sa ovim uredjajima. Imam utisak da je uredjaj malkice brzi. Istina, ne znam koji OS ROM da prilagodim Hermesu s obzirom da svaki ima svoje prednosti i mane. Valja gurat' dalje. Mislim da si u pravu, baterija je za mijenjanja, stara je oko 2 godine - vec sa ju narucio ako u medjuvremenu ne dodje Kaiser ili Diamnod.

i don't know why you're asking specifically for Bosnia :confused:

As far as i know there are no special settings which differ bosnian networks from other networks in Europe. I'm from Croatia and i never had any problems with any ROM - as far as the actual "networking" is concerned. The problems i had were specific problems with WM and ROM's, which are the same problems any user has.

As far as stability goes, for me the best ROMS were made by fellow Croatian Shamanix. Only it had a weird problem with bluetooth not working properly, but i didn't get too much into it. Now i'm using CRC 13.3 which is also very fast and stable.
[Touch HD General] ExO_PoLiTiX:
I have read here that when you hold down the end call key the screen should lock. Whenever I try this my screen flashes black but the handset never actually becomes locked. Anyone else experienced this? I've tried a hard reset and i've checked all the settings and cant understand why this is happening. For now I am using the on/off button to put it into hibernation but when you recieve a text in this mode the device fires up and therefore could start phoning people in my pocket if I dont notice it vibrate - not really ideal.

Any ideas on this would be much appreciated.

[Touch HD General] spikeysas:
I'm assuming that you have checked in Settings that you have the End Key set up to lock the device when you hold it down? If you have then it sounds as though you have a PIN set up on the phone. There is a bug with the HD that means the End Key won't lock the phone if a PIN has been set up. You should find that if you remove the PIN then the End Key will lock the device.

I hope this helps. I find it rather annoying as I would like to have both features in place so I am hoping HTC eventually release a hotfix for this. Fingers crossed!
[Touch HD General] ExO_PoLiTiX:
Thanks alot for the post mate. I wasnt aware of this bug. I tried changing the pin settings and it then worked. Thats a shame you cant get both. I guess ill just need to settle for a pin and pocket shield =)

Any toasted Sprint ROM's for Vogue?

Hi again.

Although Viva touch shows up as CDMA on some sites, it would appear that it is really only GSM (also known as Opal). Sorry for the bad post above.:(

I have tried the Bell ROM (RUU_Vogue_4350_BM_WWE_3.08.666.1_Radio3.42.50_Ship.exe) and it is much slower than the Sprint version (RUU_PPST_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_3.03.651.4_2_Radio_3.42.30_AM_NV_2.04_Ship.exe). Sprint, however has a lot of junk in it that I don't want or need. I have tried to understand some of the posts concerning cooked ROM's, but it is like I am coming in halfway through a conversation (my lack of experience, I suppose).

Does anyone have, or can they link me to, a reliable Sprint version (or non-partisan version since I will be programming it to Viva eventually anyway) that will work on the MP6900SP (Vogue CDMA)?

Also, could someone please explain to me why, when I am looking for Vogue CDMA ROM on the search, I see "Vogue, Vogue, Vogue upgrading etc." or "Shift accessories, Raphael, Raphael, Raphael CDMA, Raphael ROM development, Raphael software, Raphael accessories, Rose" all over? It is very annoying because these posts have NOTHING to do with the search criteria and make finding the exact information I want nearly impossible. :mad:

Thanks to all,

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
If you want the VIVA / Opal version I assume you are talking about M2D?

Most custom ROMS feature M2D nowadays. It is dangerous to flash a ROM or radio meant for another phone to your phone.

The touch Family (elf, elfin, Vogue, Viva, touch3G etc) may look the same, but they are different phones. Try googling gsm vrs cdma for starters.

There are mant great ROMS designed specifically for your Vogue that feature M2D that are fantastic. The stock ROMS (sprint, Bell etc) feature Windows Mobile 6.1 for the most part.

There is also LOTS of instructions for upgrading your radio (preferably your own carriers), unlocking your phone, and flashing a custom ROM.

Good luck, read lots, learn lots and have fun doing it.

Tricom providers, Bell Mobility ROM, Looking for lighter weight Ship file.

Thank you for the information. I am aware of the difference between GSM and CDMA. This is a CDMA phone, Sprint model. As you can see above, I have already flashed it with the latest Sprint and Bell Mobility ROMs successfully. The phone has been programmed with Tricom's PRL and is working fine. It will NOT work on Viva, so please ignore any reference to the Viva HTC Touch as they only run with the GSM model, unlike other suppliers who will accept both. :cool:

I NEED WinMob 6 or higher for other applications that I run on this phone. All I want now is something that doesn't have the options that I don't need. Or that allows me to pick and choose. If there is a Ship file out there that fills that bill, I would like to know about it. Thanks,
