3VO Tweaks and Updates

New 3VOLUTION Titanium layout for 3VO.2.80.092509!! See screenshots below. :)

I built this layout to accomodate for the limited vertical screen size on the Excalibur. Any suggestions or changes appreciated! Hope you guys like!

Thanks to all for bug testing! Thanks to all who have donated!

Tweaks and updates

:

"3VO Original CHome Panels.cab" for those who want the OLD classic sliding panels. Keep inmind that the Titanium Home Screen Layout will NO LONGER WORK until you uninstall Original CHome Panels. (NOT REQUIRED ON 2.50)

"3VO Transparent Grey Panels.cab" for grey Titanium panels

"3VO Glowing Blue Panels.cab" for glowing blue Titanium panels

"3VO Glossy Beveled Bars.cab" for those who do not like the flat black taskbar and softkey bar (NOT REQUIRED ON 2.50)

"3VO HTC Sliding Panels 2.5.zip" brings back the look and feel of WM 6.1 and the SNAP. Includes HTC Weather! Keep inmind that the Titanium Home Screen Layout will still work in 2.50 when you use Titanium Toggler in Tools :).

"3VO Original Start Menu Icons.cab" replaces most of your start menu icons with original style WM 6.1 icons. This app is not removable so backup your \Windows\Start Menu folder if desired.

"3VO 2.50 XT9 Patch.cab" adds French language support as well as enables the contact "autocomplete" feature for contact search.

"3VO 2.50 WiFi Patch.cab" is only for those experiencing trouble with WiFi powering on. No need to run patch if you are not experiencing WiFi power on issues. For 2.50 ONLY!!

"3VO.2.50 Battery Patch.cab" help solve fast battery drain that some users are experiencing. Only use this patch if you are having a problem with battery as not all users are. For 2.50 ONLY!!

"3VO.2.80.Patch.1.1.cab" fixes certain issues in 2.80 including removing inactive shortcuts and adding Calling Card calling. For 2.80 ONLY!!

These were all tested ONLY on my 3VO ROMS. There is no guarantee that they will work on other phones and ROMS.

3VO BETA AREA

I will be posting BETA ROMS with newer development core in this post. Please check back weekly for updates.

Please be aware that ROM testing is for advanced users ONLY. I am not responsible for any damage ANY ROM could cause to your device. I will not and currently DO NOT provide support for ROMS. You will have to read the forums and search XDA to find answers to your problems. BETA ROMS and not meant for stability and daily use. BETA ROMS are meant only for bug testing and reporting. Flash at your own risk!

Flashing instructions

:

** note: Your phone must be application unlocked. If it is not, please run SDA Application Unlock.exe via Activesync (attached below).

Download and run SDA Application Unlock with the phone connected

Remove your SD Card

Download and unzip the file

Run Auto.bat

Follow the prompts in the DOS window

Hit "continue" on your phone, screen will turn white

Run RomUpdateUtility.exe (if it doesn't run via the script)

The flash will take about 8-10 minutes

Upon first boot, it will seem frozen for a few minutes, maybe even go black. This is NORMAL!

Test! Enjoy!

In case something goes wrong:

Remove the battery and the SD Card--> Put ONLY the battery back in.

While holding the camera button, press the power button

The multicolor boot screen will pop up

Plug in the USB cable and flash back your shipped (HTC) ROM
