Hi,

I'm currently using ThemeGenCE Developed by Benoit Thonnart. Here Thanks Benoit for a great app.

I am having trouble understanding all the screen resolutions. :eek:

When I design a theme it would great to make & Export to all Windows models. Is this a crazy idea?

Things I need to understand:-

I cannot see a pattern with the DPI over the phones 96/128/131? I guess it is important otherwise the Background image will be wrong.:confused:

Screen types Standard, VGA, QVGA, WQGA

Exporting - when to use +Inf +Xml +Inf +Xml

A simple Cab Package program - tried and tested for themes.

Is there a ThemeGenCE workflow somewhere online? If not, can we start something here? Maybe 10 step guide for each model!

Thanks

Welcome to forums

As this is an HTC devices only forum, you won´t get too much atention, however have a off topic section or visit winmodevs.

Perhaps another member can point you into the right direction.

Good luck,
[HTC Excalibur] gnatd:
I had a fairly simple desire to map in a hotkey to enable and disable wifi with a single press-- I'm using the current 3VO 6.5 ROM. I'd located the Wireless Toggle utility, but now I need to attach it to a key. I didn't want to use the T-zones key by redirecting the Short_IE.lnk, because I find Celetask very useful there. I assume I could redirect the camera with Short_Camera, but I kind of like having this there too. The AEBPlus utility seems like overkill-- I only want to redirect one key, and I'm a little intimidated by the "oops I can't use my dash anymore" potential from mismapping some keys.

The solution I wanted to come up with is mapping an Alt value to the T-Zones or Mail key, or possibly redirecting the Mail key. However when I look at the et9 keyboard mapping file, I see that these keys aren't even in it from what I can see. I guess they are different from the other keys, and so I'm not sure I have the capacity to add an Alt value. So these are my questions:

- Is there some integrated way to assign Alt values to the Tzones and Mail keys without AEBPlus or another utility?

- Is tmail.lnk the shortcut that controls the Mail key? Are there other shortcuts that also are involved?

Sorry if this has been answered before. I tried to search on this, but maybe I just wasn't coming up with the right search string.

Thanks,

Gnat
[HTC Excalibur] gnatd:
Well, I take little pride in having stumped the forum-- at least I didn't get a "learn to search" response.

In the end I have solved the problem by using Chome Configuration to remap the second softkey for the Wireless Manager option under Settings from "All Settings" to "Wireless Toggle". This spares me from having to open HTC Communication Manager and scrolling around to enable wifi-- a pretty significant improvement for me.

Thanks,

Gnat

Glad you worked it out :) and didn't get use the search as it's not an answered question not many people use AEButton on smartphone and defo not in sticky ;)

If you want a guide still of how to use AEButton i could run you off some screenys to demonstrate as it's an amzing bit of kit.
[HTC Excalibur] me:
Don't know if you are still reading this, but if you know of a tutorial or guide to AEB, please share it.

I'm trying out the app right now, but find it extremely difficult to figure out, how to use it. And the author included no guide nor help file with the app. And his web page doesn't tell you how to use it.

One other concern--it seems to slow down the device a whole lot!

Does anyone know how you can change the tone of incoming SMS and email?

Is this even possible on the Hero?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Beeble:
Phone: UK T-mobile branded (vario IV) Raphael (GSM)

Been running custom roms & radios since i got it, had hard-spl on it.

The phone has a fault, so needs to be returned to factory settings for warrenty.

Problem 1)

The fault is with the mini-usb connector - so it is not possible to establish a data link to a pc

Problem 2)

Restoring everything!

I replaced the rom, radio, undid the security unlock & replaced the splash screen - all ok

Replacing the SPL i ran into problems (and then made it all worse!). I used a rebuilt spl 1.69 (what the phone shipped with) - which flashing from SD card loaded ok, but wouldnt overwrite the hard spl. (it loaded 100%, reset and still on hard spl)

I then read that the OliNex 1.90 warrenty restore spl was the only one which would overwite hard spl, but once i had done that, i could then write the correct spl back to the phone.

The 1.90 flashed from the sd card fine. Now the device starts on the boot loader saying i have an "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again"

However, it wont let me flash anything from the SD card now - i've tried the correct (1.69) spl, hard spl, the original (restored) rom and a HTC original rom.

The screen starts on the boot loader, then changes to the grey flashing screen where it says "loading..." (before flashing spl 1.90 this lasted less than 2 secs before saying what was on the sd card to flash) and never loads the nbh from the sd card to accept or not.

I've tried re-formatting the sd card again.

If anyone can help with this i'd be extremely greatful. But, please dont suggest anything from the pc - it simply wont connect (its not a windows, activesync or .net problem - the phone has a hardware fault)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] paperWastage:
my best guess is that the SPL you flashed locked the Carrier Code and you can't flash any rom besides one that matches the carrier code... or something went corrupt and the code is bad
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Beeble:
Slight update:

It seems the HTC rom i tried in post 1 wasnt an original one, but rebuilt.

If i use a "new" and i guess signed NBH it passes the "loading..." screen onto "checking..." before telling me its not allowed.

Is there anyway of ID'ing the "expected" ID? and then is there a way of supplying that ID to a custom nbh?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frandavid100:
Hi,

This is my first post here. I got my htc hero a couple days ago and I've spent most of that time tinkering with it. I'm generally loving it, although I prefer the original android home screen to htc's custom interface. I've noticed that some things like the phonebook are quite laggy, and am under the impression that android's stock phonebook would feel much snappier.

So I would like to install a stock cupcake or donut android to my phone. The thing is, I'm really new to this so I'm not even sure if it's possible. Can it be done? Has any of you guys done it? Even if I succeed, will I be able to use my phone to call and send messages, or will I need to do extra stuff? Can I backup everything in my phone, so that I'll be able to revert it if I break something or I decide that no, the sense ui was better after all?

You see that's a lot of questions, I really hope you guys can give me a hand with this.

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frandavid100:
After reading some other threads, I think I have some of my questions answered. But do you guys know if any of the stock android builds works with the hero? Can I install anything to it, apart from the system that came with the phone?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] minogue:
you can only install Hero builds on your phone! currently there are none as the phone just came out. So just be patient. If you think the UI is too laggy.. clear default home screen and use regular launcher..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] barryallott:
The HTC touchflo stuff works on top of android so If you REALLY wanted to revert back to basic android then i guess you could after rooting and installing a basic android ROM. WARNING though, i dont think that has been done yet. reasons in include

WHY WHY WHY?

Hero has exchange support, basic flash support.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frandavid100:
Well minogue seems to think otherwise... has anyone tried actually?

Anyway, if I use nandroid to backup my system I shouldn't risk anything right?

I think I'll just wait but, can you point me to a basic android Rom? I've seen there are lots of them and I would't know which one to pick.

I written this with the phone, by the way. Awesome keyboard :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] barryallott:
And you would lose this 'awesome' keyboard!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ghoonk:
Just turn off SenseUI. The rest of Android runs underneath.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] phcollignon:
Where are the default Calendar and Contact apps ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TGAQ600:
I'm in exactly the same boat as frandavid100. I love the Hero's hardware, but most of SenseUI is too flashy; I don't care about most of the improvements (seven home screens, irritating widgets, lots of Facebook/Twitter/Flickr integration, exchange support) and I'd say some of them are worse than the alternative (the calendar doesn't show as much information in the month view; Flash in the browser just makes websites much, much slower and doesn't work for video).

On the other hand, apparently 1.5 is much faster, and 2.0 (on release) will have multitouch in Google Maps as well as in the browser, so I'd like to get running the stock Android operating system.

I don't know anything about cooking ROMs, though, so I'll wait for a kind benefactor. Hopefully it's not just frandavid100 and I who want a faster version of Android...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frandavid100:
Glad to see I'm not alone.

Anyway, is there a way to test the stock android keyboard and phonebook? I kinda dig htc's keyboard, with its compact qwerty layout, but I hate the phonebook and I haven't found a decent alternative in the market.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] phcollignon:
+1

Beeing used to G1 I would also prefer simple UI .. not that Sense is bad

but I prefer simple that sexy UI Then we could benefit of full hero

power on cupcake or donut ...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
You already effectively have Cupcake on the Hero - firmware version is V1.5, which is a Cupcake build. If you just drop Sense UI, your back to almost a vanilla G1 build, which the exception you have HTC keyboards and apps as opposed to Google ones. Given that the hardware in the Hero is pretty similar to the Magic (at least those with 288mb RAM), there isn't exactly any additional "power" to harness either! ;)

With respect to Donut, as far as I'm aware there are *no* operational Donut ROMs available for the G1, Magic, or Hero as yet.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] samitro:
I do also prefer the clean fast Android interface over HTC's one, I know how to make the default home screen to be the Android one but touchflo keeps running in the backgroupd eating more than 30MB RAM and wondering if it is safe to uninstall this package and probably others too. In brief, disable the sense UI. It is maybe nice but at this point is slow compared to the Android interface
[Hero, G2 Touch General] fozzieb:
yeh, i would like to remove the touchflo altogether as it keeps running in the background even though i use the default home screen. Or at least have some sort of of startup manager to stop things running at boot.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] FANdroid:
must be out soon, there is some leaked screenshots here including the widget.

http://androidguys.com/?p=6260
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TGAQ600:
OK - so the Her is already running Cupcake, but with SenseUI on top, and while you can disable some parts of SenseUI from running, you can't actually get rid of them.

In that case I think I'll wait and see what happens around Donut. If HTC release an updated Hero ROM, I'll go with that, and if they don't, I can wait for a generous ROM chef to bake a nice, basic Donut ROM for the Hero. Thanks for everyone's help.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kam187:
You'll need to root your phone to do it:

I would love to be able to 'downgrade' my Hero to the stock android.

At the very least, I'd love an easy way to install the stock android applications on top of the HTC ones, and hopefully uninstall the ones I don't use so as to save some application space.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Nighthawki:
Hey guys,

I recently got my new tp2, I have 2 issues which I consider big:

- On the dialer interface (on the virtual one, not using keyboard), I see only from 1 to 9 (no * 0 # line), trying to press on the 1 button dials the number 4 instead of 1. Further research showed that pressing on the gray part, between the list of calls, and the first line of numbers of the dialer, dials the first line of numbers (1,2,3).

To sum it up, all lines are 1 line up in terms of result of the clicks, something like:

GRAY(1) GRAY(2) GRAY(3)

1(4) 2(5) 3(6)

4(7) 5(8) 6(9)

7(*) 8(0) 9(#)

The number in () are the actual result of the press.

Just to clarify, a line with *0# buttons doesn't visually appear on the interface.

I'm sorry for the weird explanation, couldn't find any good way to explain it.

- I don't see any way I can configure priorities for my internet connection, ie if there's currently USB internet connection (through my laptop for example), us it, otherwise if there is a WiFi connection, use it, otherwise use 3g/GPRS, etc.

You guys seems to know quite a lot about this phone already, I hope anyone has some solutions for me.

Cheers,

Nighthawk
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] andrew-in-woking:
Hi all

First off, I think that this may only work on a WWE ROM. If you do try it on any other ROM, please make sure you back up the two registry keys listed in point 2) of the instructions below.

I've been fiddling around with the CommManager registry entries and image files and I've managed to successfully add two additional functions to the CommManager. It's working as follows:

Airplane Mode: Working as default settings.

Phone: Working as default settings.

Bluetooth: Working as default settings.

Wi-Fi: Working as default settings.

Microsoft Direct Push: Working as default settings.

Data Disconnection: Working as default settings.

3G: Switch fully working. Row Area Mapped to "\CMBandSwitching.exe".

Internet Sharing: Switch opens Microsoft Internet Sharing UI. Row area mapped to "\Windows\CMInternetSharing.exe". Switch changes to indicate HTC Internet Sharing connected.

Problems/To do:

Although I can enable more functinos using:

[HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager]SupportedFunctions dword=0x0000000a(10)

For some reason you can not select the bottom two functions in portrait mode, only in landscape.

I can enable the Vibrate option with REG_SZ=Vibrate in a number key but I can't get the Vibrate Icon to display in normal or silent modes.

I can't map the ringer row area to the manila sounds page or the HTC Volume Control function (\Windows\Volumecontrol.dll I think)

If you think you can help with these problems, please update the thread.

Instructions:

In the .zip file attached there are two registy entry files as well as four image files.

1) Close Comm Manager

2) Back up the following registry Keys and all their containing vaules: [HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager] & [HKLM\Software\OEM\UTMS]

3) Import the registry entries into your phone's registry from CommManager.reg and UTMS.reg in the .zip file attached.

4) Copy the four image files into the \Windows\ folder of your device. N.B it is not recommended to copy them directly from your computer to the windows directory, but to your storage card first.

Edit: Original registry entries for HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager uploaded.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] animelover:
You can add more buttons trhough Registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager]
"SupportedFunctions"=dword:6

Here you can extend it to 8 buttons, what fills the whole screen! After increasing the possible buttons, just add the following (example):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\6]
@="AUTD" [I](That's ActiveSync)[/I]
"Execute"="\\Windows\\repllog.exe" [I](Path to executable or any other file)[/I]
"ExecuteCommand"="//remote" [I](only needed if you want to start the application with commands)[/I]

Please note: the numbering begins with 0, so if you want 8 buttons, you need at least [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\7]!

Hi animelover

Do you know where there is a list of supported functions, such as "@=:autd""?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] iznogoooog:
I think @= is the default string
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] animelover:
Yes, the "@" is the Default name of any new entry!

As far as I know, you can use these posibilities with "@":

3G [I](3G switch from Auto to GSM and vice versa)[/I]
Phone
Bluetooth
WLAN
AUTD [I](ActiveSync)[/I]
Ir [I](OBEX service, I think)[/I]
DataDisconnection
FlightMode

Please note: the Default entry "@" must be a "String" value!

Airplane Mode: Working as default settings.

Phone: Working as default settings.

Bluetooth: Working as default settings.

Wi-Fi: Working as default settings.

Microsoft Direct Push: Working as default settings.

Ringer: Switch Working fully but does not update when the volume setting is changed; toggles between current state and Vibrate or Vibrate and sound on. Row area mapped to "\Windows\Mute_sound.exe" which works. Ringer icon is only displayed when sound is on Vibrate but not on Mute or On.

3G: Switch fully working. Row Area Mapped to "\CMBandSwitching.exe".

Internet Sharing: Switch opens Microsoft Internet Sharing UI. Row area mapped to "\Windows\CMInternetSharing.exe". Switch changes to indicate HTC Internet Sharing connected.

Problems/To do:

Have Ringer/Vibrate icon (Or other representative icons) displayed when sound is on or mute/silent.

Map Ringer/Vibrate row area to the Manila Sounds Settings Page or HTC Volume Control Function.

Enable the Vibrate Switch to change on selection.

If you think you can help with these problems, please update the thread.

I'm really sorry but I don't actually know much about ROM Kitchens. Are you looking for an .rgu file? I understand that you can rename a .reg file but you may need to edit the file. Hlopefully one of the forum ROM Cookers could help. I was thinking of making a .cab file and if I can do this that might help you.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] andrew-in-woking:

Hi alesscam

I'm sorry, I don't know. It's working in my device. You should only need the default (unnamed) value "Bluetooth" in the relevant registry Key.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] andrew-in-woking:

Hi alesscam

I didn't edit the registry with regards to the Bluetooth Switch. They are the default registry entries.

Unfortunately I've just had to Hard Reset my device so have no registry editor loaded on there to test the device.

Before I re-load the extended Comm Manager I will export my CommManager registry key to compare them.
