This has been driving me nuts for the past few hours... Maybe you guys could help. I'm trying to create a single cab install for my theme, this cab only applies bronzeres.dll and also copies the theme.tsk to the %windows%. The .tsk copies to the %windows% folder all wallpaper and menu files. When I select my theme from the themes list, it doesn't do anything, no even apply the wallpaper, I'm all confused now because what I did for my .tsk was basically recycle the included Ron Ara orange one which should work just fine. Am I missing something?:confused:

Well, its not mine, I just resized images to Qvga, but did a poor job at that, as you can see for the huge arrows... :(

can anybody here can give a direction on how to make a new sliding glass with GIMP? I have difficulty in handling transparencies.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SimpTheChimp:
Ok, this is a dumb question, I know... But....

If the theme is a .cab file, do we just install it normally? Or rename it to a .tsk and then use it?

If we do install the .cab as a normal cab, how do we 'switch' to that theme? I've done this before but the theme doesn't change. :confused:

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xda2_haseeb:
in WM6.5 u just install the CAB and then switch from Settings>Today as u normally wuld do, the reason to have a CAB for this is tht they have just extra images tht need to be copied to the \Windows folder :D

Hope i helped :) ENJOY!!!

Is this for WM 6.1 or 6.5? Is there any way to get the hexagon menu into 6.1? I installed the theme on my 6.1 and the only things that changes are the bars.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xda2_haseeb:
these r for WM6.5 and theres no way to get hexagon to WM6.1 :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jonnrb:
Not necessarily! I'm going to edit the fonts in Titanium anyway and the white text will look great on the blueness of WinMo7 icons and buttons!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jonnrb:
Okay. My theme .5 More looks impossibly good with WM6.5 already and it's still a developing theme! As you see, the only problem is the black text! If anyone knows how to change it to white text, please tell me!

Idiot question, how am I not getting the bottom bar transparent for my Windows 7 themes? Both are attached if someone can take a look. What are you all using for editing? I was using ThemeGenCE
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jonnrb:
Um... Read the thread buddy. You have to manually edit the TSKs, images, etc. It's not like a regular 6.1 theme. You aren't in Kansas anymore; that's all I can say.

so after playing about with Winmo 6.5 for 2 days now, im really happy with it, will practically get rid of the need to have manila installed when its fully functional... althouuuugh, the menus are still to hard to use. is there no way to implement the rhodium style menu popup into windows??? jus a thought...

I was looking at wm7 pictures and had an idea to make something similar.

Well it's still work in progres and this is only a preview but I think it's not bad;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rpereira:
You have to make the images with a transparent background and save them as .png so that the transparency persists. In order to get the glassy look you have to paint your image with a linear gradient and reduce the opacity of the second color of the gradient to 0.

if so please post it HERE

Thanks dude, nice work
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] m.carroll:
i'm running it right now and all looks well...as far as complete tested goes.

its designed natively for VGA, the wallpaper has been cropped from the WVGA Classic Black / Default wallpaper. Did we figure out that VGA designed themes can scale down to QVGA? If so then I guess it should be ok... i'll post over there too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 4D3:
well when you post it on the thread, just state what screen size it is for, and if you update it post the cab in the original post on the thread.

Im creating a collection of working themes, hence two threads, this one for dev and test and mine for complete.

they are orderedt by screen size, so if ATM it is VGA then it go in that section, as you update/include new screen sizes let me knoe and i will add your theme to the relevant section!!

Hi

thanks for this beautiful theme

i tried on QVGA and all work fine except the menu up & down arrows & tabs .. they appear larger (VGA size)

this arrow problem is mentioned before in "glass" white theme

i am not sure if this is from how the theme is built or from images (because all other images are automatically resized to QVGA except the menu arrows

i also noticed that the top & bottom bars in today are black but when you open a program the bottom one becomes red (best if fixed to all black please)

Hope someone can fix the menu arrow/tab sizes for QVGA please

Thanks

:eek:my fone was ok till a couple of days back when i started to get some of msgs not getting out of my outbox. it was kinda on and off thing i.e at times things would go smooth but at others i wont b able to send even a single msg, but now i cant send out even a single. texting is one of the main use of my fone and life is crippled without it.

i changed over to tai_sw's windows 6.5 thinking that it'd help but it didnt ( had same on and off pattern ), then i reverted back to the halloweenrom. thinking that it might be the radio rom i flashed to 1.47.30 from 1.16....( dont remember the complete name though ). radio flashing helped for a while but again that menace is back.

BTW I CAN RECIEVE OR CALL ANY NUMBER WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM AT ALL

now my fone has

windows: 6.1

rom: halloweenRom

radio: 1.47.30

PLZ ANYONE KNOWING HOW TO CORRECT ALL THIS? LIFE SUCKS WITHOUT A WORKING HERMES:mad:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] katzung:
also

if i take the sim out and put it in another fone like nokia etc, it works fine.

also i did a hard reset to see if the apps installed are causing it, but hard reset didnt work either.

should i flash the original shipped rom into the fone or anyother way out?

i've no idea which path should i tread, but for the xda members
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boog:
Not really sure, because I never had any issues senting text messages with the haloween rom. But, you could try the shipped rom, or the stripped rom. See if they have the same issue. I would flash the stripped rom anyway between custom roms just to straighten out any memory issues that can pop up.

Or, do you have or know someone with another sim you could try? Maybe you sim is having issues?

If you are NOT USING 3G then you need to turn it off.

well thanks to both boog321 and irisiris

glad the xda members are always there to help you out

thank you very much

@irisiris

ya buddie you were absolutely right there. actually i flashed a rom which had its 3g on and since then i was getting some prob but thinking that it might be due to that rom i flashed another rom which didnt had 3g in its comm manager so i couldnt get it right. just as i was flirting again with the rom that had messed my fone up i found the 3g on, so i simply offd it and things were smooth once again.
[General Questions and Answers] twfx:
Hi,

We can change the settings in the control panel manually. We can also change the related registry enties for some settings and make a soft-reset to activate the modified settings.

I would like to know if there is some way to activate the settings without a soft-reset after modifying registry, just by running a small program or invoking a function -- so the settings can be modified automatically.

So do you know any method, program or resource to implement this, especially for the regional settings?

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] Bulldog:
Why you hve to make soft reset when you change the Regional settings???
[General Questions and Answers] twfx:
I am talking about the method to switch the regional settings Automatically, not to set them Manually in Settings->System->Regional and Language.

So, after modifying the registry keys related to the regional settings, how to make the modified keys take effect without a soft-reset, i.e., how to let the system immediately know that this setting has been changed and please refresh the related data about this in the memory? Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] twfx:
Any solution, guys? Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] wg5566:
Wait for a while, maybe.
[General Questions and Answers] wg5566:
Works for some other settings, but for regional settings, seems the only way to fully activate all changes is through a soft reset, some services need to be reloaded.

I'm wondering do you have to pay any fee when using GPS in my X1? I had successfully managed to install iGo 8 in my X1.

[XPERIA X1 General] DanneG:
No you dont have to pay any fee
[XPERIA X1 General] Calvin H:
Receiving GPS signals itself is free.

The program you use to read the signals and provide navigation might not be.

GPSTest for instance tells you where you are (longitude and latitude). Not very useful in itself. Google Maps is free, and puts a GTA2 like map with a Dot on it where you are.

TomTom puts a GTA3 like map with direction based navigation (but isn't free).

Some not free applications:

- TomTom (once off charge for maps)

- Wayfinder (one charge for limited period of use i.e. 3 years)

etc.

Hope that helps!

Edit:

By the way, consumer GPS devices are [hard] coded to recieve updates only 1 or 2 times per second, hence they are inaccurate to about 10-15 meters. Rumour is that US military recievers are coded to recieve several (10+) updates per second, and therefore are far more accurate (you wouldn't want to bomb the school next door with a missile fired from 100km away now would ya ;) )

Guys, I'm looking for a manual to disassemble my MDA Compact IV in order to change my scratched screen.

I have search and searched, however there seems to be no manual specifically for the Compact IV.

The HTC Diamond disassembly manual doesn't help - only except up to the unscrewing of all the visible screws when you take off the cover. The rest doesn't apply to the MDA Compact IV.

Does anyone know how to go about it?

Anyone managed to gut the MDA Compact IV? Any photos? Any video tutorials?

Any help would be really appreciated :-)

I want to buy a portable charger, anyone have any experience on this brand?

Can you recommend what you are using? Can it charge fast? I read some chargers can't charge fast.
[Advantage X7510 General] NeilM:
I'm having real problems with portable chargers for the X7510 :(

I have a U2O 13200 mAh charger for my Advent netbook, which also has a USB output for mobile devices at 5V/ 1000mA, but unless the X7510 is on standby, or in screenoff mode, it won't charge fully and takes an age. Likewise for my Maplin minicharger, though that's no real surprise.

The only reliable way to charge mine without the wall charger, is to plug it into my Brodit active holder in the car! For some reason the X7510 seems to draw more current than USB can supply when turned on- not something I noticed with the X7500.
[Advantage X7510 General] cktlcmd:
This looks nice. Sad that it does not work well with the X7510.

Does it maintain the battery level if you have your X7510 turned on while charging?
[Advantage X7510 General] cktlcmd:
I wonder if the USB adapter on this link (post #7) can fix your charging problem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=387531&highlight=usb+chargers

or how about using the original active sync chord to charge?
[Advantage X7510 General] cktlcmd:
I might go for this charger: http://www.tang-shop.com/universal-external-battery-powerbox.html

Then I will also buy the PPC Tech's 5 pin Adaptor: http://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=145975
[Advantage X7510 General] NeilM:
Thanks for that info- may try the adapter. I'd just seen a similar post on Modaco about the Omnia and Diamond CDMA phones and the fast charge/trickle charge problems. 1st I'd heard about the differing pinouts!

I've tried all the different USB cables- the X7510 is only supplied with a standard USB cable (at least mine was) though my Diamond has the enhanced one. Neither makes any difference. My problem is not really that it won't charge from the power pack, but that if left turned on, the power pack stops charging after a time and I have to press the charge button again to restart it.

USB via the PC just about manages to trickle charge it, unless its set to Disk Drive mode, in which case it is faster; screenoff/standby is faster still.

Keep us updated! :)

[Advantage X7510 General] Atomiser09:
Hi all, I travel a lot by train and I am always using my flint to watch videos etc.

I have two Emergency chargers and I manage to use both of them happily,

A couple of things i will note down are,

They both power the device and I cant get a decent charge out of either of them but the flint will drain the external battery first. e.g. If I am watching a video I plug in either of the batteries and the flint will deplete those before it starts using its internal battery.

I have noticed a decreased charging time (Faster Charge) when the phone is in storage drive mode. I have no idea how this would help its just something I have observed while using the chargers.

On the odd occasion the flint will attempt to Sync to the batteries!? Again this is complete madness, the only explanation I can think of is the phone assumes its plugged into my PC.

The chargers i use are,

Emergency Charger

I like this one because it takes standard AA batteries which are available everywhere. It provides about 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minuets of constant power on a Standard Duracell AA.

FreeLoader Solar Charger

This one i bought ages ago the solar panels are not up to scratch so i charge it via USB. It provides 1 hour of constant power.

Hope this helps you out; let me know if you need any other info.

Regards

Atomiser
[Advantage X7510 General] NanoRuler:
Now I'm interested in this, too. I'm planning on doing a cycle ride from John O'Groats (Nothern tip of the UK) to Land's End (Southern tip) - commonly referred to as a JOGLE.

During my JOGLE I will be using GPSed (www.gpsed.com) to track my progress. This means I'll be using the data connection to upload every five minutes or so, as well as constantly using GPS to log the route.

Needless to say I don't quite expect my battery to last the 6 to 8 hours of cycling I'll be doing every day, so I need to look into some other methods of charging my x7510.

Also, cycling in the UK means that solar chargers are more often than not somewhat less useful than what they'd be in sunny climates, like Turkey.
[Advantage X7510 General] cktlcmd:
The information is definitely useful. Thanks.

I believe NeilM's suggestion of U2O 13,200 mAh battery charger is an excellent option for your need.

When I get my charger, I will try and charge without the PPC Tech Adapter and see if it will fast charge or not. If it won't, I will then use the Adapter and see if it works.

Don't trust tang-shop.com

DON'T TRUST TANGSHOP.COM

I tried contacting them after placing my order and no response. I already allerted my credit card provider and I will report them to the BBB. :(

Off to look for another charger.
[Advantage X7510 General] cktlcmd:
I decided to skip this proceedure and use the PPC Tech 5 pin adaptor with the 4400 mAh from Just Mobile. I will then ran a movie in continous loop and see how long it will take for the charger to be depleted.

UPDATE:

I ran a movie in loops with BT headset stereo ON for sound. My X7510 was fully charged with green indicator lights and so is the battery charger. The Just Mobile 4400 mAh Charger lasted 5 hours until my X7510 had to rely on its own battery power.

I also connected the PPC 5 pin USB. Basically my X7510 used up the power of the charger first, as I can see the green indicator light on my X7510 for the full 5 hours.

I would definitely recommend this charger to anyone. It is small, about the size of 2 AA batteries stacked side by side. It is well made and the finish feels like it is coated with rubber to give you a none smudge surface probably to avoid sliding off the table. I give it 10/10. :)
[Advantage X7510 General] NeilM:
Excellent news!

Do you think the PPCTechs cable makes a difference? Not got around to trying one yet!
[Advantage X7510 General] cktlcmd:
OK, I'll test it too just for you. :) I will only use the cable provided by the Just Mobile Charger 4400 mAh, since in my first test I already made use of PPC Tech's 5 pin adaptor. I just finished charging my X7510 from the wall outlet so it has its green indicator light on. I am now waiting for the green indicator light to turn back on after attaching the charger so I can start the test again. Will update you guys with the result.

Update:

10 minutes passed and I don't see the green indicator light. I have my X7510 setup so that if it is charging the screen is turned on with full brightness. It makes me think the 5 pin adaptor does make a difference.

30 minutes passed.... all I saw was the orange indicator light (my device is charging). I think it is safe to assume the PPC Tech's 5 pin adaptor DOES WORK. The charger can't keep up with the demand of my device, with just the screen turned on with full brightness.

I will now attach the 5 pin adaptor and wait....it took 15 min for the green indicator light to show.

CONCLUSION: The PPC Tech's 5 pin adaptor does work for fast charging the X7510. :)
[Advantage X7510 General] NeilM:
Thats great! <getting credit card out and calling Expansys!>

For reasons unimportant here, I only have an HTC Diamond charger. When I use that with the X7510, it keeps turning the power on (ie it won't charge in standby), so this may be related to the USB config. I'll try the PPC Techs version!
