No nothing out there right now with that much customized. I dont think some of the things you mentioned are easy at all to pull off, but Id have to assume if anyone could, it would be the devs here at XDA.

It would be much more than just a theme. All of the things you mentioned would require replacement apps.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] prash:
As a theme maker I can tell you that what you're talking about (replicating phone/browser/alarm clock layouts) is not an easy task without having to edit the actual code of the apps. This is more of a developer territory, you'd be recreating a new app basically. So...no on what you want to do. You can however use one of many iphone skins available on home replacement apps out there.

does anyone know where I can locate the orig. rom for the touch pro 2 from t-mobile usa?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ruinertt:
Do a search. There is a thread that was made specifically for it. If it isn't on the main page, it's probably a few pages back at most.

Still wanting that radio

Wait for an update from T-Mobile, Doesn't look like any cooks are posting information on how to extract the radio.

Waiting for T-MO radio update...

Unfortunately I updated my T-Mobile US stock radio (trying to fix a "MyLocation" problem) and now I can't go back to stock. I "think" I'm seeing much worse battery life too so I'd really like to go back. I'll just have to wait, and stay near a charger. :-)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cdguider:
LOL

Amazing how many people flash radios then want stock back. May be a good idea to first find a backup of your original radio and rom, before starting a forum and asking for it later.

Write that down
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] At0mAng:
Search XDA for Dag's NBimagetool, search nbImageTool and you will find it.

Create new folder in c:\ drive call it NBImageTool or whatever you like.

Extract nbImageTool.exe to new folder

Extract Stock ROM to same folder

Open Command Prompt and CD to new folder

At commond prompt type

nbImageTool.exe RUU_signed.nbh

In folder you will see a file called radio.nb

Search and find HTC ROM TOOL RHODIUM

Extract anywhere you like

Copy radio.nb to same folder as HTC ROM TOOL RHODIUM

Run htcrt.exe

Go to ROM Builder tab and select Rhodium for device

Select new Radio.nb file for Radio

Prease create

Viola...your new Radio.nbh is ready to flash as you would ROM, use same customRUU to flash.

I know it sucks when people don't share knowledge...

EDIT

Use nbhextract.exe instead of NBImagetool.exe for now, nbhextract can be found with HTC ROM TOOL.

Small bug with nbimagetool that is being worked on now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cdguider:
Damn

This will not work, T-Mobile has not released an Official Rom Update or made the stock rom available for download.

so we cant update to other touch pro 2 roms when 6.5 comes out or we must wait for tmobile
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ruinertt:
Incorrect. You CAN use 6.5 ROMs on your Touch Pro2. I have the T-Mobile TP2 and am currently running a custom ROM.

There just isn't an "official" T-Mobile 6.5 ROM that is available yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vsouza:
Radio error can cause "microp firmware mismatch error" on Tmobile TP2?

My HTC has this problem.

I never do this before and afraid brick my phone.

Has anyone experienced this problem: "Error Code Microp Error, Microp Version Mismatch, Please update latest microp firmware."

The symptoms after the error render the screen blank after it has gone/been put into sleep mode, and pressing the on/off key wont bring the screen back on, it requires a battery disconnect, and power up, but you only get one go, once it is in sleep mode. The phone will send and recieve calls/sms, so seems to function ok as a phone , if only I could see the buttons to answer/make calls!

This all started about 24 hours after downloading wm 6.5, worked fine for 24 hours, then, started to malfunction without any warning. So not sure if this is related or not. Have tried resetting phone and re-downloading wm 6.5 to see if the issue was here. Not fixed>

Can anyone assist please.

Hi, is there a way to make the contact names appear as u you type?

For example, in the "TO:" part of the txt message, if I type, "St"

it will shows, Steve White, Steve Smith and Steve Lew, in a drop down menu.

I seen this feature on other roms, and I looked in the wiki and googled.

I don't know how to enable it.

thanks
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Don't think possible as imagine will be due to build.
[HTC Excalibur] orb3000:
Shame to hear that:(

It would be a great thing to have :)
[HTC Excalibur] Ray_jai:
so it's based on build? not some registry edit? or app?

thanks
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
yeah, its based on settings in the core of the ROM. You could ask some chefs around who would know more on the topic than myself, but I think Ookba mentioned this once (as far as his 2.5 ROM Goes ...) I am not sure if he released a "fix" cab for it...
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
My ROM does that already... See screenshot.

yea, im using the ricky, and it doesn't have it. but when i tired the NRG one, they had it, but NRG was too unstable for me.
[HTC Excalibur] kingmabuto:
u can enable it in 6.1/6.5 roms, its a reg edit. (if the writing system is et9 ime, if compime it is usually out of the box working).

Registry is in the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\RecipientAutocomplete

(note that it is Autocomplete but the board adds space sometimes)

value

MaxSuggestions it is a DWORD, either its 0 or not available, create it, and put how many suggestions u want, good or default one is 4.

also make sure that this subkey is there with the CLSIDs

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\RecipientAutocomplete\SuggestionGenerators
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
What ROM you using? As tryed the above without sucess, can you export your REG and attach if working on 6/6.1 ;)

Even tryed with export from EVO.
[HTC Excalibur] kingmabuto:
Dash with EVO, the ver before ookba released few days ago, was 0 make it 4 it works, also palm treo 500, running 6.1 rose, make it 4 and it works. SP3 with 6.1 also works, this one is one of the oldest 6.1s way before rose.

the 6.1s and EVO(6.5) have diffrent CLSIDs entries so not backwards compatible as theres contacts grouping. the generators point at msnewmnu.dll. (u need to make sure his dll is not from a very old build or from 6.0).

This doesnt work with 6.0, only 6.1/6.5.

I attached the reg from my palm, its the same entries as the 6.1 sp3.

Edit: I just Flashed Kavana 6.1(080408_WWE), and also it worked. This rom already had the key RecipientAutocomplete, but was missing MaxSuggestions, just create the dword value and it works. its the same CLSID as both 6.1 and rose.
[HTC Excalibur] Ray_jai:
it works!

Thank you all for your help!

None of the existing proplus widgets will work off the bat with mobile shell 3.5 as they have changed that side of their program.

very nice work mate

Hi MSkip

first of all thanks and very nice work mate !:)

I want to know few things like:

* do we have option to make 7 selectable Lifestyle screens to 3 only ( in case we do not want to use 7 like Spb normal setting)

* also is there any chance we can increase size of scroll button little bit more because half of the time i end up pressing buttons under that. just because size is too small. OR may be we can change bottom buttons to Lifestyle screens numbers like 1 2 3 because any other shortcut we can have as widgets.

I know it seems lots of work. if you like i am happy to help as volunteer.

cheers

Any chance of a mirror, for those of us that download via mobile??

Anyone mirror? 4shared? something similar :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] donnaw:
so far so good except

2 things:

1) I use some icons I like better in the qa_misc_now file (Menu_BblIcons). When I replaced the qa_misc_now.dat file after updating your cab it changes those icons (these are the most left and right on all the screens) except for the lifestyle and Pro main screens. Where do you get your icons from for these screens?

2) I have been unable to get the fundotela/fundotela2 fix to work. When I try to delete the bacgroung.dat file nothing lets me - says it's being used. Tried on the phone and on the PC. Any ideas?

Looks like a great job so far. The thing I moss the most is the invisible widgets.

Keep up the good work! thanks

Ive tried the fix to delete the background dat file it wont let me is there another fix?
[Windows Mobile Themes] MarkAtHome:
Hi Mark -- just an FYI, after uninstalling Elegance from my Tilt/Kaiser (SPB Shell 3.5 remains, but I normally start outside the shell) and rebooting, my display shows:

Since the Start button was there, I had no problem installing today's build. This is the second time it's happened. No harm, no foul. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] catman51:
Did you follow all the steps?

Pick new background first.

Then exit shell completely,

Then delete background and restart shell.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ewingr:
I couldn't either. I'm not sure how to 'completely exit shell' apparently.

But, I got around it by renaming teh file, and I don't remember if I had to reboot, or just restart SPB, but that took care of it. I had to do it most of the time I changed backgrounds, but sometimes it would take a new background w/o doing that.

Widgets Only Cab?

MSkip, first off, must say that i am greatly impressed with your work. I was wondering if like with MS 3, you were going to release a widgets only pack? I like to keep my phone pretty minimal, but love your widgets. Also, is there a way to change backgrounds on panels (other than lifestyle) without installing Ultimate or Elegance? Thanks a million!!!!!

VGA?

Hi mskip,

any plans to upgrade your great work for VGA? I still hope :-)

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Uninstalling Elegance deletes key files which mobile shell needs to run (i.e. qa_layouts.dat) so if you restart your phone or try to restart mobile shell it will come up with an error as you displayed.

I know you probably know that but just to let anyone else know who thinks its some sort of bug, if you want to take Elegance off then you need to back up your qa_layouts.dat file before you install so you can restore it afterwards.

To Exit Mobile Shell Completely

Goto Spb Menu from the bottom menubar, then click settings, Spb Mobile Shell, Bottom right menu button, Exit Shell.

To Restart Mobile Shell

Just click on Spb Home in the bottom right of your Today Screen :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I will make a 'Basic' cab later today with just the widgets and nothing else.

To put a custom background on the Pro Screen, Carousel and other screens (IF YOU DONT HAVE ELEGANCE OR ULTIMATE INSTALLED).

ALL RESOLUTIONS!!

Unzip the attached file and follow the instructions (also included in the zip file):

1. Copy qa_layouts from your device (program files, spb mobile shell) to your pc

2. Open qa_layouts.dat with winzip or similar program

3. Add background.xml and backgroundDK.xml (if you dont want the carousel image to change then dont copy backgroundDK.xml) to the zip file by dragging them from your windows explorer into the qa_layouts.dat file (select password protection and use password b0fm18zq)

4. Copy your modified file back to your device along with the included qa_fundotela.dat file

5. soft reset your device.

NOTE: The included fundotela file is for QVGA only. If you want to use it for VGA then you will have to follow the instructions to make the correct size files for your device.

Do the following to make your own custom background dat file.

1. Unzip the qa_fundotela.dat file to a folder using the password: b0fm18zq

2. Make 2 backgrounds to use as follows:

For QVGA version (240x400 saved as Background.bmp and 400x240 saved as BackgroundL.bmp)

For VGA version (480x800 saved as Background.bmp and 800x480 saved as BackgroundL.bmp)

3. Move the 2 new background files into the folder you made in Step1 (overwriting the originals)

4. Zip the 3 files back up with password protection (using password: b0fm18zq)

5. Rename the new file to qa_fundotela.dat and copy to your Spb Mobile Shell folder on your phone (overwriting the original)

6. Soft Reset your phone

[Windows Mobile Themes] MarkAtHome:
Yes, I figured that, but normally when I restart the phone, my display is showing the Tilt's non-SPB today screen, so that when I restart, I start at the Tilt's Today Screen not SPB's. If this is what I think is supposed to be happening, why would the device need qa_layouts.dat at that point?

New Update 101409

Hi,

I noticed a 101409 update of your excellent skin.

This may be an inexperienced question, but if I install the update will it overwrite my carefulls setup icons and widgets in my professional pages?

If so, I assume then I should follow your save registry file explanation. I then import that file back into the regiatry once I have finished the instalation of the new update?

Thanks so much,
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
If you are talking about widgets such as clocks then the main bmp must be 16bit colour (R5 G6 B5) and the mask (_m) must be 8bit greyscale. There are only a few programs that can save in R5G6B5 format such as photoshop and Gimp (which is freeware and you can download *HERE*).

The mask image determines the transparency of the main image. White is solid and Black is totally transparent, with shades in between giving different levels.

I cant really recommend a program to use for creating images as it depends what you want to do but I make my images using Corel PhotoImpact which I find great for working with shapes and colours and has realtime layers which you can move around easily. I then save it as a standard bmp which I load into gimp to give the correct format (R5G6B5). I have tried PhotoShop so it can be done all under 1 program but I dont like the way it manipulates images.

Hope that helps.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
If you merely uninstall your previous version of Elegance and then install the new version then it shouldnt impact the setup of the Professional Screen at all since I made no changes to that screen.

If you uninstall Elegance and mobile shell then you will lose all your setup after you reinstall.

If you want to be safe then backup the Widgets folder as described which will backup your pro and lifestyle screens. At least that way you have a safety net incase you lose anything. Just make sure you delete the Widgets folder before restoring your backup.

Mark.

I'm having a problem with HTC HD (WVGA 480x800) ... with MS 3.1 I was able to have all 6 indicators in a row. But with MS 3.5 I cannot, no matter what "Skin" for indicator I choose.

See this MS 3.1 image with 6 indicators (VMail, etc) - they are all in single row (dont pay attention to red arrows :) ).

Seems to be that even "professional" (smaller) skin for (e.g. VoiceMail) indicator is still LARGER then small "WirelessManager" or "Phone Profile" icon.

If I choose to have them in "Default" skin - then they are too big for SINGLE row :(

Any suggestions ?

Delete Problem

Hi

First - thank you mskip for this wonderful software.

I installed the 1014 Elegance 3.5 version over the 1005 version. I know I should have deleted the 1005 version. Anyway, I wound up with what looked like 2 versions. When I went in to remove programs to delete (figuring I could reinstall) I get the message that it is not totally uninstalled and do I want to remove from the program list. I say yes but it is still in the list and nevr gets deleted from the device. Is there an alternative way to delete so that I may reinstall correctly?

Thank You again

Mskip,

I tried the process to backup the Lifestyle screens and restore and ran into a major problem with it. I followed the steps to backup the Widget file under HKLM, loaded the new Pro Plus, restored the Widget file and soft reset device. It showed error and would not launch MS3 or anything so I had to hard reset. It did not give me the option to delete the new Widget file before restoring the old.

Tried again without soft reset and it totally cleared everything in the Launcher screen. Had to hard reset again and gave up.

I used PHM Registry Editor to do it. Want to update the ProPlus but so tired of replacing my widget layout. Especially now that I use the box skin on everyone. Very cool look thanks.
