I say keep going, don't worry, your next theme will always be better than the last, keep outdoing yourself (and other people like jonnrb), that's the challenge. :p

figured i'd give it a whirl since the storm one came out

how do you make cpr changes to "stick"?

i'm trying to change the font in the portrait mode and tried editing both the 640x480 and 800x480.cpr files and the changes don't show up on my touch pro
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] deepthroat:
what is your sreen resolution? you should edit either 480x640 (portrait) and 640x480 (landscape) or 400x800 and 800x400 respectively ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jonnrb:
Um... TouchPro=VGA (640x480). Xperia/TouchHD/TG01=WVGA (800x480). The CPRs are resolution specific lol. :D

Hi,

this may be way off topic but i dont care, for the last few hours i have been trying to get the following panles to work on my F**King stupid DAMN phone:

"Notification panel" (i.e CHome)

"Programs Panel"

the problems i am having are as follows:

for the notification panel, i can get the panel to show but the icons displayed are 4 red x's not the icons for the sms, voicemail etc etc. I have asked in the past about this, but all the people who i ask (WITH WORKING notification panels) all of them "Miraculously" dont know how they got it working, or tell me some crap about a dll and not much else, which is about as useless as not saying anyting.

The second problem im having with the programs panel is that i cannot change the action url's. again the panel shows but when i change the url's in the registry and restart titanium, nothing hapens, when i check the registry they have reverted back to the default settings.

Please can someone help me out with this, ive been trying to figure this out for nearly a week now to no avail, i have asked a few times i various places, and it is extreamly annoying seeing endless screenshots of the two panles im trying to get working and geting no help.

This forum is about sharing and i dont see what the big issue is with someone helping me out with this! I mean its not like i make no contributions and i help every/anyone out if i can, but when its the other way round no-one can be arsed!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rpereira:
Everyone's so quiet lately, what's everyone up to? I'm currently neck-deep into the .cpr modding, it's a pain in the ass 'cause you have to keep going back and forth replacing it onto the phone to see how it renders, bleh! :o
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jonnrb:
Well the fix to your first problem is to install rpereia's titanium restore cab which is attached to all of his themes. The fix to your second problem is there is a provxml file in the Windows directory that you need to edit. Unfortunately, I forget the name of the file (yes I believe I have mental retardation :D). The fix to you third problem is to calm down and ask the freaken question in the right place!!! And since you just did, I answered it :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jonnrb:
I'm waiting for someone to create an emulator image for 6.5 for me to fiddle with before I start really messing with CPRs. It takes like 5 minutes for my damn phone to reboot!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 4D3:
Surely this will just reset my titanium setup to default? which i dont want, i just want the 4 icons to display!!

yeah i have that provxml, i looked at editing it but i dont get it, why cant i just make changes to the registry?

like everything else, it is nice and simple and as per Micro**** have to f**k everything up!

Provxml? wat?

7 days of bangin my head on a wall gettin nowhere and gettin no help!!!

and thankyou for your answer but im still exactly where i was a minute ago.

:mad::mad::mad:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rpereira:
yeah man this process is really breaking my balls :eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jonnrb:
rpereira's restore will only restore the bronzeres so it doesn't modify any other files besides the png resources.

The PROVXML will do the trick (hopefully :D).

And please don't complain about Microsoft. They make a great product and are actually allowing you to edit these files. On many other phones it's much more of a pain in the ass. Just look at the iPhone :D. Also they are letting these beta builds float around. We should be grateful we don't have a C+D order yet!

Yup. Mine just broke :(

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 4D3:
im pretty sure you just posted that to piss me off!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 4D3:
dude, we are doing them a favour by fixing their errors!! they let the betas float about so that smart arses like us can fix all the issues for free.

MS watch this forum so close it is untrue. Im Sure that there are members here that are MS staff, n their job is to scour the forum and get the fixes people come up with.

dnt be so nieve!

EDIT: you can edit the iphone, it was cracked by a 13 year old, and anyone that know linux well can write for the iphone!!! MS aint doing favours here!

i just found out u could edit the cpr files in total commander..saves u the stress of editing on a pc and then getting it on the phone(except u already figured that out..lol:D)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lakeside00:
i use a program called Context to edit my cpr files(its free)..or u could do it from ur phone(pain in d ass i must say)...i just read ur post well..d files u need to edit are Titanium_640x480 and Titanium_480x640..if u still cnt get it to work..i could do it for u, post ur original cpr files and let me know wat font u want..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] claus1953:
Not at all, only now i read your post. I just followed the instructions i found on a thread named program panel, and changed the URL to open iLaunch.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rpereira:
If you did a find & replace and replaced the default Tahoma font with something else you have to remember that just like regular windows OS, the font must be installed on the phone. other wise it won't show up. did you edit your cpr > disabled Windows Default > then replaced the existing ones in your \windows > then re-enabled Windows Default? ? that's the grinding process
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lakeside00:
exactly what i did..i replaced tahoma and Segoe UI..the font has to be in the windows folder..but i realized u dnt have to disable titanium when replacing the cpr..it does it on the fly for me(which is weird for windows mobile since u usually have to restart for the smallest changes to b made:D)..i have a bunch of fonts stored on my phone so i usually use d ones i already have on my phone..its an annoying process(we really need an emulator)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rpereira:
You mean afer replacing the .cpr you didn't have to disable and re-enable titanium (Windows Default) ? I know it's not necessary to soft reset but i usually have to disable and re-enable titanium even if you don't apply the changes after disabling and re-enable it right away it refreshes itself right after you hit ok. (sigh...) we really need an emulator... If your changes ain't still applying post your .cpr's together with the fonts and we'll test them out and see what happens.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lakeside00:
ok i think were mixing things up here..i'm not the one who needs help here..it's d other dude:confused:..lol....i'm trying to help him out also..i already asked him to post his cpr and let me kno d font he wants if he still can't get it to work..so i'm waiting for him

I would love to see a Sports tab. Something that has a different sport on each page with a link to a site for that sport (I.e. NCAA Basketball links to espns ncaa page, mlb links to mlb.com). I could set that up myself but my big question is would it be possible to get an rss feed on the 2nd line of each page that shows live scores for the sport?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jonnrb:
That's been known (right?:D). You can also just uncheck Windows Default, click the other tab, click the Items tab and check Windows Default, and then hit OK. It's a much easier process totally shutting the annoying Start Menu out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jonnrb:
Yeah the iPhone was cracked by a 13 year old. That has nothing to do with it. With Windows Mobile you can hack and crack the OS right out of the box and there are even mechanisms built by HTC that make hacking their phones much easier.

And BTW: the iPhone is UNIX (a modified mach kernel). UNIX and Linux are two completely different things. It is easy to port from one to the other but you can't just slap a Linux app on a Mac and hope for it to run. Things just don't work like that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dzags:
Does anyone know how to add an rss feed to a tab? I want to make a sports tab with links to sports pages and scores on the second line but I don't know how to make it display a feed. Or maybe an rss feed isn't even what I need, I'm pretty new at all this. But basically looking for the simplest way to have it be able to show updating scores.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 4D3:
the point i was making was that we are doing MS favours by fixing their errors, the lecture is not needed, i paid to be educated!!

any need? that wasnt even relevant to my point, if you actually read my post i said that MS watch this forum and take the fixes!! and your jumping at me about Unix on an iPhone - sorry i dont see the link!!

i dont get what your issue is? to me unix and linux and linux are the same thing, ive tryed to use them both and they are not functional out the box, it takes days to set the things up and alot of stuff dont work possibly because i cant be arsed doing the reading.

all im saying is, i do graphics, you dont have to jump down my throat because i made an OS slip, and it is as simple as that!!

i notice that in alot of the threads you contribute to that when people post themes you jump in and tell them that theirs aint as good as yours etc etc, you have no reason to act like that, and if your going to, please dont do it to someone who has been doing you favs!!

i mean, the sec u post me a theme it is uploaded and links posted, any time you wanted your posts updated links changed it is done for you asap.

no need for that!

Notifications panels !

I agree with MysticGenius...

if anybody have a custom Notifications panels... a working version...

Can you explain how it works...

The Specific CPR line need to Watch in Titanium... or Registry entry necessary to enable this function ?

Please... i need this to finish my Theme...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rpereira:
The CHome panel pulls the icon information from the registry, the registry keys point to resource ID's from within bronzeres.dll. These resource ID's do

not exist

in the default version of the .dll so you basically have two options here.

add the resources to the .dll

hard code path to the icons (the one i prefer)

adding the additional resources into the .dll will just provide unnecessary bloating and duplicate .png's inside of it, so simply just open the .cpr and find where the <!-- Notification templates --> begins.

Here's a sample for instance:

<!-- Series of image & text pairs -->

<!--Missed-->

<Image ID="ImageFixed" Source="\Windows\crimsondarkness_missed.png" Left="20" Top="8" Width="51" Height="68" ScaleStyle="Fit"/>

<Text ID="Text 2" Left="80" Top="8" Width="51" Height="68" FontFamily="Segoe UI" FontSize="10" FontStyle="Regular" Wrap="False" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter">

This should do the trick.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jonnrb:
Please don't get on me about that. I love any theme and have tried every one I have found and switch between them constantly. And when you see that I "insult" one of rpereira's themes, I'm poking at him in a joking way and it's plainly obvious that he realizes this. It is also plainly obvious that he is the best themer on the board and if you don't see the sarcasm, open your freaken eyes. I know you've had a rough time with your phone and such and I (as well as most users on this forum) am fully willing to help you to the best of my ability. Please lighten up.

WM6.5 themes all have "big text"

Hi,

I've noticed that all the WM6.5 themes seem to have fairly chunky text with big gaps between lines. This means that not nearly as much fits on the screen... for example if I want to do a send/receive in WM6.1 use the right soft menu button and can see ~8 options and choose the bottom one while in WM6.5 only 6 options fit on the screen and I have to scroll to get to the bottom two. This impacts every app, less emails fit on the screen, less files in explorer etc...

Is this fixable? Has anyone developed a theme that keeps the font spacing smaller like WM6.1?

Cheers,

James
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rpereira:
I haven't personally looked at this, but my only guess here is they did this for "finger friendlyness" sake.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lakeside00:
they did it for finger friendliness..but another solution is to release the popup menu font size..personally i like the fact that they spaced out the options..helps to pick an option easily and it also makes it look good..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jonnrb:
@jfitzell: it is probably possible to do that but nobody wants to have that on their small screens. That's why you see no CAB. Also it would squash the menuSelector images in themes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DomSim:
seeing if someone can maybe give me a hand? i and trying to make a theme, i am using wince cab manager to build it. If i leave it as a .tsk it does nothing when selected through settings. If the extension to .cab, it installs and works for the most part but i cannot uninstall this cab.

as far as the theme itself goes, i cannot seem to be able to change the syscolor value and have it come out as what i want it to be. i can manually change the values in the registry on the phone and the colors i want work but if i write this same value through xml or through the cab it doesnt take. I have found that the base64 value of the 2 different values seem to be the same according to this site, http://home2.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/ so im kinda stumped on that.

i have attached several versions of my theme that i have tried, all with slight differences in an attempt to get them to work. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DomSim:
well after ripping into about a dozen other themes and scratching my head for the whole day seems as though the problem i was having was caused by having spaces in my file names :confused: removed the spaces and all works well now i think.

You have to rename the tsk file to cab, and after editing, save as cab and rename to tsk.

example:

1) Original file is Ferrari.tsk

2) Rename the file to Ferrari.cab

3) Open Ferrari.cab with WinCe Cab Manager

4) Change/edit files and registry values

5) Save the Ferrari.cab file

6) Rename Ferrari.cab to Ferrari.tsk

7) Install the theme to your device.
