[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
I suppose that a Zune interface is POSSIBLE, but not practical for the Excalibur. THe zune has an interface designed for touch-screen ease. However, that isnt to say that you can't do a Zune-like HomeScreen for our beloved phone.

I'm busy working on my CycloneSkins horizon Theme at the moment, but if I had the time, this is how I would go about it:

-Get a copy of the SLIDING PANELS CPR Files (since Titanium is 'center-based' for its panels and sliding panels is top-based)

-Find some Zune iconsets

-Analyze the CHome registry key (and its subkeys and entries)

-Analyze the Sliding Panels.cpr file

-Eliminate images you find unnecessary from the CPR

-In the registry change image locations to Zune style images (on phone)

-Change font and font sizes.

Its a time-hogging and meticulous task, but it is 'do-able.'
[HTC Excalibur] pokejake2002:
Thanks man, I'll devinately look into this :)
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
I left something out that I did when i started to plan out my Horizon skin.

Get photoshop or GIMP or some pretty decent image editor that supports layers, and photoshop a couple images of what you want your skin to look like. If you look at the first post in my CycloneSkins thread, that large image is fully photoshopped. i use it as a guideline. It is never fully accurate, but it saves a good deal of guesswork

If you ever need help, just ask :D

Good luck!

I've had a problem with my tilt since I've bought it. I am unable to send pictures and I never receive pictures until weeks or even months after they have been sent. Does anyone know what the problem i am having is?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,

I had the same problem. I noticed that it happened to me whenever I was connected to 3G for over 1 hour. Once I disconnect from 3G and the phone reconnects I am OK.

Let me know if this works for you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Green45:
my phone doesn't have a data connection at all, i had att put a block on it because i dont have a data plan at the moment and still no luck sending pictures...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Well wouldn't that be your problem? Pictures are data.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] j101399j:
I had this issue on my last phone (cingular 3125); I went to the AT&T store and they had to active MediaNet pay per use. The pictures are sent over the MediaNet, and as long as you have unlimited messages, you will not be charged for pictures. But without that plan, you can't get pictures.

Also be warned, AT&T now automatically adds the $30 PDS data plan if they find you have a smartphone. So if you go in and try and add it, they may endup slaping you with a data plan and you cannot say no. Here is what AT&T says in thier terms of use:

"Data Plans: An eligible data plan is required for certain devices, including iPhones and other designated Smartphones and PDAs. Eligible data plans cover data usage in the U.S. and do not cover international data usage and charges. If it is determined that you are using an iPhone or other designated Smartphone or PDA without an eligible data plan, AT&T reserves the right to add an eligible data plan to your account and bill you the appropriate monthly fee. "

From here:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Green45:
well even when i have my data plan activated they won't send. I just deactivate it when I travel to other countries to save a few bucks because I can't use it anyway.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Did you run the att data setting.cab ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Green45:

After lending my phone to my brother, I'm now missing the original soft case or "phone sock" that came with the G1/Dream.

I remember reading a few months ago that some people seemed to hate them, and I'm hoping to address those people now:

I'm desperate to try and get a replacement soft-case, and after going around many markets, phone shops and ebay, I still cannot find a replacement.

If anyone has an origional soft case that they don't want, please please contact me (email or PM) and can send you some money for it via paypal or bank transfer.

Many Many Thanks,

Anartic: Thank you for the fast reply with the link. Being an ebay.co.uk customer seems to mean the item you highlighted won't show up when I search -even if I use its exact name.

Also, some of the "OEM" cases on ebay certainly aren't (I've had friends with Hero's buy a few), in as much as they seem to be cheap oriental knock-offs.

Thrashwolf: I'm based in Leeds in the UK, though if its your only one I'd feel guilty about taking it off you.

Hi all,

Just wondering anybody could recommend a "AA Battery Powered" External USB power supply for UNI?

I seen some people use a mint box and 4 AA batteries to make a USB power supply, but I figured I might just buy a existing product.

Or does anyone has better solutions for power supply when you are away from computer or a A/C wall?

Thanks!!!

Hey Orb,

I have one of those and I centainly like the colorful flashing when it charges :P

Hello,

Who has a solution to update the weather with ActivSynch AUTOMATICALLY ?

To be more precise:

When I plug TP2 to PC, it starts up and syncs. QuickGPS updates itself automatically.

For the weather is not like this, it must go on the weather tab, and then do an update (automatic or manual).

I hope that the weather updates without going to the weather tab, just simply plug the TP2 to the computer.

Thanks

I updated my ROM the other day and I re-installed all my software afterwards, but one program (tomtom) didnt get placed in the start menu or in "All Programs" on the Manilla programs tab.

If I manually browse to the exe in the program files folder (on my storage card) it launches and works fine.

How can I create a shortcut in Windows Mobile 6.5 so that it shows up in my Start Menu or in the All Programs area?

I tried exploring the device while hooked up via activesync, and creating a shortcut hat way, but with windows mobile 6.5 it seems that doesnt work, the option to create a shortcut doesn't even come up in the context menu anymore. Same goes for if I browse to the file via the file explorer or total commander on the device.
[General Topics] D'rath:
Use Total Commander or Resco Explorer and create the shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu or \Windows\Start Menu\Programs(\Your Folder)

[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
There are two ways I use to make a shortcut in Windows Mobile. The first is to find the original EXE, tap and hold on it, and select "copy". Then, go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\, tap and hold, then "paste as shortcut".

The other, easier way is to install this valuable piece of software, restart file explorer, browse to the EXE, then tap and hold, then finally choose "Send Shortcut to Programs".
[General Topics] Goanna:
Thank you both for the info.

I was able to do it using total commander, which did have a "Create shortcut" option in the ">>>>" option of the menu. I used that and created the shortcut in the programs folder and then it showed up in the start menu and in the touchflo all programs menu.
[General Topics] Sneakyghost:
Allthough this thread is already a few days old i still ought to thank you.

I had exactly the same issue - no TomTom anymore and i couldn't figure it out by myself so got really frustrated. No registry-manipulating worked (didn't understand how to do it right) and no manual shortcut-file creation either...

So i am really happy that you, DaveTheTytnIIGuy pointed out that FileExplorer Extension. Fantastic thing.

And Total Commander is too, actually. But i liked the extension better. Thanks anyways!

Your help is much appreciated.

I just replaced my dutty Leo R2 with Dutty's Leo R4 rom

under the settings - personalize - home wallpaper there are weather, animated and still wallpaper options....

i understand the still wallpaper but can't get the weather and animated wallpapers to work...

can somebody tell me which kind of files i should use so they would work? avi, pmeg-4 or something else?

does anybody has an example of those wallpaper that they could upload?

also, i'm using Max TF3D v.2.5 All in One Layout 1.4c... is it possible that because of that i can use them?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ClydeB1:
The weather wallpaper just allows for the animated weather display, based on your home weather conditions. With maxycy 1.4c installed you can get the weather animation with the still wallpaper (and it disables the weather wallpaper). (I'm not sure what the animated wallpaper does as i haven't tried this.)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] wackyjacky:
for animated wallpapers were used .gif files , i think...

i can also flash duttys leo r5, wich has build-in animated wallpapers...

i have noticed anytime i use the hardware kb (obviously in landscape), then i close kb the screen auto rotates 2 portrait. i have changescreen_config.cab. so after it auto rotate, w/in a few secs. it rotates back 2 landscape (also during this process it lags, so its not smooth; which is why it makes it that much more annoying).

is there a tweak, fix, app or setting 4 this? is there a better g-sensor app? i tried gyrator2, g-sen, zensor, bbconfig. sumthing?, and now on changescreen_config. i havent decided which 1 works the best, smooth w/ no lag. should i try asking this question in 1 of the threads 4 those apps 2 see if it can be put on a todo?

Development Stopped for WVGA, V3 is now considered "Perfect Version"

**VGA available in 2nd post** new clock addon

Tested on manila 2.1

****Old Video. Slider is not displayed******

see it in action here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i36gs_JGKE

To do:

- get hero clock onto WVGA

**INSTALLATION****

**Uninstall any old versions before continuing**

1. copy cab and install

2. report any issues for future development

**2 Versions**

Full = Full theme

Icon Fix = Icon corrected theme to fix this issue for WVGA

Special thanks to mwalt2 for creating panoramic background mod

Please comment below with any issues or suggestions
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] averma:
Version 2 FULL VGA + Landscape - Nearly perfect version

Version 2.1 Icon Fix - corrects icon error (read known issues)

Change log:

- added landscape support !!!! (which the pictures just do not do justice, it looks gorgeous)

- overall optimized and fixed some errors - Theme is now incredibly polished

- improved image quality

- TF3D font now more readable

- Slider and Theme are now single CAB = Full Theme

**INSTALLATION**

1. Copy cab and install

2. An image will be placed on Device > My Documents. Using the settings tab in TF3D set this Image as wallpaper to enable Hero style clock

3. report any issues to help future development

Known issues:

Known issue #1

Lanscape will look like this if you enable the clock

will try to have a fix soon *** thanks to Aaron McCarthy for reporting the error and for the IMG

Known issue #2

**solved** Theme has trouble with manila 2.5 icons (see IMG below) -- if you have this problem download the "2.1 - no icons" cab below (2.0 must be uninstalled before 2.1 can be installed)

2.1 - no icons.cab is currently beta and may not work with all icon packs. also the email and messages icon in the contact card may not match when you select them

****DO NOT download 2.1 unless you have already tried 2.0 and got the icon error, 2.0 Full is still considered complete theme, 2.1 is the icon corrected version of 2.0 meant for people who get the error below***

NEW CLOCK HERE*** Special thanks to CR7KB24 for Creating the graphics*** - Save image and set as wallpaper in TF3D to enable

-Attached as "Hero Backdrop v2.zip" because i realized the link was converted to .jpg and had bad quality

[/COLOR]

Thanks to drdrewdown for IMG and reporting the error

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] emd2009:
is it possible to make the clock a seperate cab?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] averma:
actually its just the stock clock and a background image that matches the panoramic theme (look at the video) is used to make the box.

I'm trying to see if i can actually build the clock to look like that but so far no such luck as manila doesn't seem setup to handle that layout

Feel free to try it out, as stated above files are un-installable (so long as your not using a different theme already) and it creates a much more appealing and dynamic experience in touchflo than stock (plus its not as gloomy)

now on to my issue, i installed V2 cab for VGA & the slider does not show up how its pictured in the screenies. its simply a grey slider that does not show my tab icons. interesting. please check out my screenshot & let me know what i did wrong or how to correct the slider image
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] averma:
I actually noticed this today on a firends divice (he's helping me develop the WVGA backgrounds) I think the theme has trouble if you have the manila 2.5 icons.. it doesn't seem to replace them properly. i'll see if i can work up a fix

get back to you soon (for now i'm just going to list it as a known issue). you don't have to uninstall the theme as the fix will probably just be an addon cab

- and Landscape seems to be functioning perfectly.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] suiller:
well done friend... here works perfect (dia duit rom) but the background image isn't show, of course I tried many times to load in :D

just a suggestion:: you should compress the png with pngcrush (freeware) with these parameters: pngcrush -d c:\temp -rem alla -brute *.png

even if the best thing should be compress as JPG trough jdo (another freeware)

doing so the BG picture will be less fatter & of course will take less ram ;)

for example porting the png to jpg & compressing with jdo your bg file goes from 148kb to 47kb...
