If you know how to edit an XML file you already know (eg HTML) to edit CPRs. For example for a WVGA device that you want to edit the portrait version of a CPR you find ...480x800.cpr in \Windows\ and just open it in TotalCommander to edit. You can also just edit it on your PC or Mac (<- my pick :D). Then you just look through the XML for height/width, x/y coordinates, font size, etc. Edit this, and save the file to its original location. Then soft-reset and test your changes. Once you have things figured out the process is much easier :D.

BTW: if you need additional help, PM me.

[General Questions and Answers] joel2009:
The xperia is WVGA (400x800) so like john said you will need the 400x800 cpr. if i were you i would download his vga file and then rename it to 400x800 (that way you only have to make edits for the bottom slider) Basically you will be editing the "top" values.

For example:

<Slider ID="LockSlider" Top="500" Left="48" Width="384" Height="80" Orientation="Left" OnPress="ShowNotifications" OnSlideLeftFinal="" OnSlideRightFinal="Unlock" >

that would be the edit for VGA (full height is 640)

On your file you will probably want something like:

<Slider ID="LockSlider" Top="660" Left="48" Width="384" Height="80" Orientation="Left" OnPress="ShowNotifications" OnSlideLeftFinal="" OnSlideRightFinal="Unlock" >

The easiest way to do it would be to go through johns file and take his differences from the end of the image (640-500=140) and apply them to your own (800-140=660)

WVGA is "widscreen vga" which more or less... only one dimension is greatly changing for you compared to VGA (and you dont have to worry about the little change as in chome everything is in constants for the "width values" (left, center, right)

Best of luck,

joel

Far as i can tell you would have to edit a shell.dll (which is no simple task and you may have to suffer a couple hard resets until you get it right)

Far as i understand... If the file is not unsigned and resigned properly your phone will not boot. If you are still interested let me know and i can try and put a tutorial together.

I did try Opal Phone Canvas, couple of different cabs from the forums.

But they all have some problems, I dont get the ring when there is an incoming call, and in some cabs the graphics are messed up.

Can we use Phone Canvas standalone or does it have any dependenices?

[General Questions and Answers] killerskincanoe:
i tried searching the forums for an answer. as well as google... couldn't come up with anything meaningful.. mayb i'm using the wrong search criteria...

but anyways... has anyone stumbled across a screen toggle for 6.5? i was a big fan of spb's pocket plus

but not on 6.5.. titanium is to fun to play with.. :P

it'd be nice to have a simple icon in either the startmenu or my applauncher titanium plugin...

it' would be great in conjunction with my auto locker. screen off = auto lock

and i wouldn't have to push the power button nearly as much

as i've replaced it once due to it jamming.. i don't want to again :)
[General Questions and Answers] joel2009:
NP

Sounds like your getting it, Best of luck :D

I'm not completely sure what you are asking for.... Like screen on off? on my kaiser i just hit the power button.... If you are asking for a lock screen button then it should be the left soft key in start menu (you can also hold end call on some phones)

EDIT: just read the last line... hmmm i'm not sure where i saw it but i downloaded a set of tools once that had it.... i'll see if i can find it....
[General Questions and Answers] killerskincanoe:
yes SPB pocket plus included a simple screen toggle on/off shortcut that i could put on the destop...

i tried installing this .. and adding the spb pocket pluss addon shortcut pacakge.. but it just ate up space and memory. even when i wasn't using it ...

i may just re-install it.. and try and take a look at the registry for the app and see if i can't locate the .ink for the screen toggle .. idk what else to do... i mean it's not that big of a pain to hit the power button.. but sending it in again to get nething fixed is outa the question for me.. as my one year warranty went down to 3 months ... about 3 months ago heh, when i payed to have something not covered by warranty fixed.. while they had the phone to fix the power button ..

soooo annoying not having an insured phone.. :(
[General Questions and Answers] joel2009:
xda-shutdown has this option.... its just an exe that most people map to the power button(an xp style shutdown screen), but you could map a link to it in a panel in cHome (your today screen) only problem is that its a QVGA only (and it looks like you have an experia which is WVGA.)

I'll see if i can whip something together tonight.....
[General Questions and Answers] killerskincanoe:
so i was wrong to hope for an easy link to something already in the OS somewhere? i can't believe there isn't a call to the function screentoggle sumwheres...

but if you can whip it up AWESOME!!

[General Questions and Answers] Star-Lite:
Great guide!

I've played around with the cpr files and made a homescreen (titanium) plugin that shows the amount of unread RSS items in Rss-Hub. It works fine for me and I would like to share it with the community. The problem is: I've created it entirely on-phone (with cHome editor, manual editing the cpr files and some Mortscript) and I would like to make a .cab file. I dont't have any device other then my own to test it on (and since I already have the cpr installed, testing is a bit hard ;) and a hard-reset isn't an option for me). I've never made a cab file before, so I could use a step-by-step guide of how to make a cab that inserts my Rss plugin into the titanium homescreen, adds the reg keys and makes the mortscript file run (pref on each reboot). Does anyone have any experience with this?

It would be awesome if there would be a WM6.5 emulator where I could test my stuff before releasing it.
[General Questions and Answers] joel2009:
The 6.5 emulator won't be out until 6.5 is officially released, so that won't quite be an option yet :D

Appstar, drkfngthdragnlrd, or Showaco would know how to do it best, Appstar posted an application here you might find useful. Mostly you just need to know where your files are going, Here is an application that compiles cab files.
[General Questions and Answers] drkfngthdragnlrd:
You can use Mobile Registry editor to export the registry from your cell. It's run from your pc and edits the registry on your cell connected through USB. You can extract the registry to a .reg file to add to a cab. Than copy out all your files and use WinCE CAB Manager to create your cab. It'll let you import the .reg file to import your registry. It also allows you to state where files are copied to all in a nice easy to use interface. It does cost money, but worth it. I am not sure where Mort Script has to be installed to to start on boot up, but Showaco does. He made the Titanium Weather plugin using Mort Script. Also, Appstar has made a app that allows you to had the cpr layout to the existing cpr instead of copying in new ones possibly overwriting some one else's previousely edited cpr's. It can be found here.
[General Questions and Answers] Farmer Ted:
If you install mortscript (look for MortScript-4.2-PPC.cab), you can write a script that will do it: 'ToggleDisplay("Off")' (no ' marks). You can put a link to the script wherever you want, I suppose. I have it mapped to long press power (created a link, renamed it Long_Power.lnk and dropped it in \windows). This is on a 6.1 rom, but it oughta work on a 6.5 rom as well. I've got a little package of scripts that you can map to long power (including display off). It includes the mortscript support you'll need. You can try it out if you want, or customize it however you like (I think the installation will work ok with 6.5, but can't guarantee it).
[General Questions and Answers] joel2009:
He didn't want to use the power button to do it, and the other thing is... i don't think the long press link works on all devices, i created that exe that can be linked to anything (i made a cab that will install a shortcut to the start menu for ease of use) If you like the mort workaround, you are more than welcome to do it, otherwise the exe i created will do the trick also :D

Another option for device locking with screen off: vjdevicelock

Just for another option on the matter, I suggest trying good old vijay555's VJDevicelock, I use it and it's great and I attached it to this post.

To use it just unzip the package and put the .exe in your "\my documents\" folder (that's where I pointed the link to) and the .lnk in your "\windows\start menu\programs\" (or any other place you'd like your link to be!).

All the props to vijay555 for this and other great apps he alows us to use 4 free! Thank very much vijay555! (I hope you don't mind me posting your app here, but if you do, please PM me and all remove the attachment).

[General Questions and Answers] joel2009:
Everything in the system of 6.5 is nearlly the same, The only difference really is more control of the ui itself.

The slider can be removed by setting it to zero, look in the first post's directory to find out how to do that.

Calls are stores in the call history. You can view them there.

You would have to probably write a program, or find one to change the backlight by way of a button.

Vibrate mode? like on off? sound settings or comm manager.

i don't know the specific number for you as i don't have that specific resolution, i would recommend taking apart the qvga file and finding out how far everything is from the bottom and do the math to make the adjustments for wqvga (yours is just "widescreen" qvga) meaning that only one dimension is different, in this case the "height"

[General Questions and Answers] wg5566:
From what I see one of the major issues for WM6.5 is its third party software compatibity. Usually people need to try hardly to find a compatible build of some apps or its replacement for a desired functionality.

Hence I suggest to put a Compatibale Apps List somewhere in this thread, so that people doesn't need to try hardly sourcing them, it would save a lot of time for everybody.[Edit: Would save a lot of HARD RESETS also, which is hated.] Apps can be listed in classifiications, also can be followed by short comments or links.

Here I have two examples:

Class: Start Menu Replacement:

QuickMenu 2.8.414.1614 is fully compatible on WM6.5 build #21502, thread here, downloadd link here.

Class: Hardware Button Mapping:

HButton V2.3 is fully compatible with WM6.5 Build21502, thread here, website here.
