[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] DJGonzo:
I never hard reset, unless I experience some major weirdness and I (almost) never have any issues. Sometimes I have issues when I switch from lets say EnergyROM to NATF's but really rare.

I never reset any other devices I flash (I have flashed so many different types of phones, routers, ipods and so many other different devices.)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] magicman0:
I thought you hard reset after the flash?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
Few things to keep in mind: frequency of ROM flashes (i do many while chef'ing), ROM size (going from larger to smaller can cause unpredictable results), device non-volatile settings (the area of the device that contains altered settings such as registry, file additions/removals, etc.).

Some devices operate differently. From my 25+ years experience in the business, I've run into several issues where a factory (hard) reset cleared up the problems experienced post-firmware update. I've even had situations where uploading the backed up configuration would cause the device to halt/crash.

In the very beginning, I used to Hard Reset twice, once before a flash and then once after a flash. Noonski posted a more efficient method which eliminated one of the Hard Reset and ensured that the device always functioned as anticipated. See steps and thread noted above that contains Noonski's observation.

I've been using the noted methods above since then and have never run into issues as I had before.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
I hard reset twice, too. The first one is so quick, there's no good reason not to-it may help the flash go properly as well. I don't hit volume up, though. When the reset is done, I just go straight to bootloader and flash from my card. Then I do the second one at the tap here screen.

Still, sometimes funky things happen in customization. I always remove the sim card, but occasionally instead of getting a soft reset after customization, the stupid dialer will pop up, as well as the 'customization will start in 3 seconds' pop-up. Then the phone freezes. This happened a couple days ago to me, and voice command and gscroll wouldn't work. A 3d hard reset got me going, lol.

I would like to know if it's possible to change the day at which the week starts in the calendar. And if it's possible, how can I change it.

Thnx a 1000000
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nradu:
in standard windows calendar

Hi,

Open the standard windows calendar (not HTC calendar) and search for tools/options. There you have the option for the first day of the week: Monday or Sunday. Whatever you choose it will be valid also for HTC calendar.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] KarimSaid:
First, thnx for you reply nradu.

I've found that way already, but i was asking if I can make it starts on Saturday for example, and with Friday as the weekend, got it?

Thnx again...
[General Questions and Answers] rcmx:
i just did the hard spl install, dont know what it does, but i think its required to install custom roms. can i still install cabs even if i dont have a custom rom? i have 6.1 win...

thankss
[General Questions and Answers] steviewevie:
Yes you can install cabs with or without HardSPL and a stock ROM. HardSPL lets you install both stock ROMs and custom ROMs.
[General Questions and Answers] denco7:
Here you go, this is from the Kaiser wiki but it is true of all spl's. This will give you good info on what Hardspl is and what it does,

Is the new Bing working for anyone. I install it and when it opens its still the old version. I don't know whats going on.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] mhrc4:
nope, not on the Imagio. There is a thread open in Development & Hacking > Windows Mobile Application and Games.

Seems like its not working for a lot of people yet.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] chrbrown30:
Bing works fine on my Imagio. That said, yesterday Bing had an outage...so you may have experienced that.

There is a known issue on the Bing app where it will only pick the first address if your contact has multiple addresses. :(

Hope this helps,

CB
[Imagio Themes and Apps] Boss428man:
So you have the new Bing with the picture background working?
[Imagio Themes and Apps] slumpey326:
which one did you download, didnt work for me.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] zPacKRat:
the new bing sucks.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] chrbrown30:
No...didn't realize they actually released a new update. :( And the new update states that "you're phone is not currently supported." Personally, as one of the few new WM6.5 phones, I am stunned that it isn't supported.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] nathantw:
Install it to see what it looks like then uninstall it and reinstall the old version. The new version is horrible and looks like a Beta 1 version of the last version. It's so unusable that it's not worth installing.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] yatman60:
not installing

I tried to do the udpate and Bing says cannot recognize the phone (or some similiar message) and then launches the browser and lets me download bing.cab. i tried to run bing.cab and it says cannot install in this phone.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] y0himba:
Are you on Verizon? Search a bit, it is well known that Verizon's phones are not letting the new Bing install. Not just the Imagio, but ALL Verizon phones.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] yatman60:
Verizon and Bing issues

Hey bud, you're right. It appears that others on the Verizon network are having issues with the new Bing upload. That said, it appears that the updates to Bing aren't being regarded very highly. So maybe it's for the best at the moment.

Blinded by Faith, the first theme by The Reverend Gridlock @ androidoverdrive.com

Hey everyone, I was down at david1171 place and he has taught me the basics of how to theme. Seeing as this is the first go-round for me, I would appreciate any and all feedback you care to give.

This dark theme is my adaptation of david1171's Minus-X theme and includes brandenk's app drawer tab and a calendar template from Ted417 (thanks guys). I have posted a base version of the theme for cyanogen roms cause the different adp google apps can break on i know at least the 32a magics so this is without google apps or the lockscreen, the dvanced launcher is included though. Add-ons include David1171's skinned 2.0 apps, Stericsons lockscreen, an add-on for Google Nav

Special thanks to david1171 (buy the man some noodles) and pretty much everyone that he thanks for his theme, ted417, brandenk and pershoot for keeping up Stericson's lockscreen. If I forgot anyone, please shoot david a PM or find me on androidoverdrive.com and I will include your name as well.

And everyone: Please, please provide any feedback and/or suggestions here...Thank you

brand new screenshots of ver1.3

thanks dave for the killer boot screen

[Android Themes] sykopompos:
save for space

hey guys give me some feedback to make this a better theme
[Android Themes] dmm0816:
i flashed this yesterday for 4.2.6 and now theres 4.2.7.1 lol i like this theme alot...i've been looking for a nice black theme and this is it. i don't even know what to tell you that could help...if anything maybe add a solid black keyboard like a gloss type and maybe do the same for the music, power, and search widgets. im not really a big fan of the boot screen but its nice so i can't complain, but this theme is nice, good work man!!

Edit: I guess what i was tryin to say about the widgets is maybe make em more glossy black and not so much white in em? don't know if that makes any sense lol
[Android Themes] _Dref:
Good theme but better with the keyboard on this black thème : http://a5-studios.com/dwang/Themes/

and without this bad pic : http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae145/david1171/grid/device4.png
[Android Themes] evry1sgirl:
I love the pulldown but I like the app drawer background more I guess (yeah, I'm pouting cause he's gonna change it). A lil more black can never hurt. And my son loves the bootscreen...
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
Alright, keyboard is redone and I have a new status bar pulldown image that flows better with this theme. Will add them in the next release, next onto the power control widget

Also I forgot to do the progress bars and the dialer during phone call

Hopefully I should have a new release out tonight or tomorrow
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
made some to changes so we got a v1.0 now, check the changelog
[Android Themes] dmm0816:
just flashed it and the changes look real good, especially the keyboard...the only suggestion i have is the pull down background maybe make it like a solid transparent black?? and if you can make it glossy at the bottom like the first one (i liked that affect) other than that good work bro, keep it up.
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
Well I would but then I think it will be kinda boring, I really like the new pulldown a lot better than the old one but if you want a solid black semi transparent I could make a small flashpack for you that will just overwrite that image

Also I am working on the settings widget icon's kinda want something else for them, when you suggested taking the white out were you reffering to the icons or the surrounding the widgets
[Android Themes] dmm0816:
naw thats cool, its not a big deal at all and this pull down is nice too so you don't have to do that. I was talkin about the white around the widgets i guess its a border and maybe use a widget like the community hero power one. i think the border is like a glossy black, the icons are white and theres like a button or something under them that lets you know when its on. or the one from marks theme, his is transparent with the icons i think but you would have to change the icons and i don't know how easy or hard this stuff lol. i think something like either one of those would be tight. but ultimatly it's up to you lol, either way i'm still gonna use this theme cause i like it a lot:D

EDIT: i did notice when i was using the internet that the address bar looks white on white (the writing blends in with the address bar) not a big deal but i just wanted you to know in case you wanted to change it.
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
Yes I know about the progress bar, I gotta go into the xml and edit it. I didn't even notice that it was that light till this morning, so I gotta fix that and make it more of a dark gray or something like that.

I will look into the widget and the border I was playing with the border yesterday but since it is a .9png that gets streched it is kinda a pain in the ass to work with but I still am. I am not sure exactly what I am gonna do yet with it, I was playing around with different ideas yesterday of what I wanna do with them so something soon will be coming soon

Also I am gonna regloss out the bottom of the pulldown

I still gotta get around to the smily icons too but I haven't found any that I really like that small

I am also looking for a font to go with it but everything I find comes out either too small or too big or looks like a jarbled mess on the screen. If anyone knows what program I can use to edit .ttf please let me know
[Android Themes] dmm0816:
cool...i'm not good with all this stuff but i'll keep my open for you on the .ttf editor
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
I understand, I am just getting better with doing it myself. It's a good thing I am good at figuring stuff out or at least good at pressing random buttons.
[Android Themes] dmm0816:
is it hard to create themes? i've wanted to give it a shot but i don't even know where to start at lol
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
Once you set up adb and get your phone connected then it is mostly a matter of opening up your .apks framework res with something like 7zip then go into your drawable folder and editting the .pngs. try to stay away from the .9pngs cause they are a pain in the ass cause they need to be compiled

It really isn't all that hard but it is very time consuming to do just one image and then flash it test it and check it

Thankfully I was at david1171's place and he taught me the basics
[Android Themes] awdlexusis:
do you have just the dark music widget update?
[Android Themes] awdlexusis:
Not to shabby minus the grim reaper lol
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
The grim reaper is the avatar that I used everywhere for a long time so I made it my boot screen if you like the just the music than I could make a flash pack for just that if you like
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
To the people that have d/led my theme what do you think of the statusbar pulldown image(yes I know I forgot to post the screenshot of it) the more that I look at it the more I really like it and am thinking bout carrying it over to other parts of the theme like maybe the widgets backgrounds at first
[Android Themes] xXReubenXx:
Nice theme.. just flashed :)

I was wondering if you could make it with 5 home screens?:D. On the CM version 4.2.7.1?
[Android Themes] david1171:
advanced launcher lol. on a homescreen press menu, then more, extended, home screen, and select the number you want.
[Android Themes] xXReubenXx:
Ohhh. Hahah my badd. LoL

Okaye thanks :)
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
I got some new stuff coming soon, new widget backgrounds, statusbar, appdrawer, wanna try to get to the dialer and other images also but don't now if I will get to them on the next version, also found a ttf editor so I gotta play with that too to get me a font that I like
[Android Themes] Cost2betheBoss:
what does Blinded by faith mean? just wondering...
[Android Themes] xXReubenXx:
Do you have a stericson lock screen for the dwang version?
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
If there is a version of the lockscreen compilied for dwang 1.13 than I would gladly make it but I don't think that there is, you would wanna talk to pershoot bout that cause he is the guy that compiles it for cyanogenmod

The name of the theme is cause of being the reverend gridlock, the first version being called the good book (inside joke) so with it going darker and darker I found it fitting to namee it blind by faith (thanks pistol for the name) cause of how when someone believes in something they are too blinded by their faith to see something changing in front of their eyes and mostly too ignorant to listen or see the changes. I think I got a new name for the next incarnation of the theme by what changes that I have been making, I think black matter or dark matter would fit well for it, what do people think of those names
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
ver 1.1

Alright people this is a working version but I wanna to get it out there and see what people have to say bout the new stuff, this is only for cm4.2.7.1 as a lockscreen add on so you gotta have the bareversion on first and let this overwrite it so what we got is a new status bar reworked pulldown, app drawer, vk tweak, new widgets and maybe some other stuff. This is pulled right from my g1 (thanks to pistol for uploading this while I am not near a computer)

Screenshots will be up in a minute

http://www.4shared.com/file/166954698/dd388ec8/working.html
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
These are taking from a screenshot app on the g1 so not the best screenshoots but you get the idea
[Android Themes] xXReubenXx:
the new link is the theme? Just newer version?
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
The new link is an update for the old version, you need to have the bare v1.0 for this, they are the changes that I am testing on my phone but did not have a chance to put together for a full release since I am not near a computer so it is not a full theme just an add on, it has the lockscreen so download the bare version in the op than flash the new link aftwr it

This is for cm 4.2.7.1
[Android Themes] xXReubenXx:
Do I have to reflash the theme... thannn do this one. Or can I just flash this on top of everything?
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
If you already have the theme thatn just d/l from the new link and flash the new one, this will add the stericon's lockscreen to your phone if you did already have it

This is just the version I am working on so it is just the lockscreen add on with the new changes, it is just easier for me to work with that so hence you have to have the base version already installed for it to be a complete theme
[Android Themes] xXReubenXx:
Ohhh.. so the new version has all the stuff in one.. like instead of like three different files
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
No this just the stericon's lockscreen add on with the new changes, this will mostly just chngae some images in mainly the frameworkres.apk which is the main folder of the system plus the music and settings apps for the widgets so no the new link is far from a complete theme, it is only 7mb while a whole theme would be 13mb or more with the added skinned apps in it which is why this is and add-on or an update when I get the chance I will package the changes into the base theme but I do not have the chance right now and it was suggested to put out what I was doing for other people to give feedback on so I pulled the zip from my phone that I flashed to add the changes and uploaded it
[Android Themes] xXReubenXx:
Okaye... gottchaa =D

Just flashed it... Nice theme
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
Why thank you, any suggestions are welcomed. It helps to have a direction to go next so I have an idea of what people like and don't like or which thing I should work on next. Thinking the vk is a big one since it is essential to mytouch users
[Android Themes] xXReubenXx:
Ummm I think you should make it so it says 3G instead of just G... the say way just add the G

&& to make the signal bars.. likee get from small.. to big or big to small either way

Keep it up and down but just like small to large..... && also make it when your battery

Is low. Make the whole circle come up but make it flash red.. few suggestions
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
Unfortunely there is no way that I can make the icon flash when the battery is low since in would have to be written into the code of the system and I am no programmer so I have no clue how to do that. With the data icon the only way you will see a g is if you are on gprs, the icon for 3g is just a 3. With the singal status icon I am unsure what you are trying to say

Btw I skinned the virtual keyboard for my next release and it looks damn good
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
New stuff coming soon, reworked the vk and some other stuff, just gotta get my lazy a$$ around to packaging it up and uploading
[Android Themes] xXReubenXx:
My.bad I meant to make it so it says 3G not just 3...

&& I mean for the signal bar. Likee how the stock one looks

Like turn it 90 degrees
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
new stuff

New version 1.3 stuff, too tired to update op or post screenshots, will do tomorrow

Base version for cm4.2.7.1

Version for dwang 1.13

Lockscreen add on for cm4.2.7.1 must flash after base version (can flash at same time as base version just flash this last otherwise base version will overwrite this)
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
sorry had to remove links cause i messed up on something that was causing force closes

that's what i get for being so sleepy and not checking through everything first

i will have these fixed tomorrow when i wake up :(

sorry guys
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
alright 1.3 is up in the op with new screenshots and links

sorry bout the hang up on the links, saw a problem that needed to be fixed as soon as i posted them so i stayed up putting in some overtime for you guys tonight to have it perfect :cool:
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
Testing out chainsdd ecliar dialer and cytown's new phone.apk but I think I am gonna redo the dialer buttons tomorrow or the next day. Gonna be rainy here

Looking for ideas for a new name for these theme since I don't think the title fits what direction I am going.

Any suggestions will be apperciated
[Android Themes] xXReubenXx:
i cannot install new version on dwang v1.13 it says something is wrong with the framework.apk :(
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
Alright I will check into the dwang version and see what is up
[Android Themes] xXReubenXx:
Okaye thanksss... as for the Cyan.. version. Its great... Nice themee =)

Haven't changed it since you first released... until now... just waiting for the fix =D
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
Alright redid the dwang version and uploaded, link is the same as the orignial, I just overwrote it. I tested and it fully works. Forgot to change the app drawer from the v1.0 release but I will in the next update
[Android Themes] xXReubenXx:
Ok... joolly good... about.to.flash =D
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
Let me know, if everything is running right, I only tested all the main functions when I had dwang on my phone (I stick with cyanogenmod, I like bleeding edge tec) so I didn't run it long to see through everything but there shouldn't be any problems, it was just the statusbar stuff and the soft keyboard (the keyboard is big to mytouch users)
[Android Themes] xXReubenXx:
okaye... I found a ferw things wrong

1.I cannot delete my text messages .. (I get a force close everytime)

2. I cannot open the browser

.. and what happened to the REBOOT. Option when you press the end button? I.like the reboot option :(
