Put a rubber band around it or lie it on top of somthing soft faced down (that's what I do)

No softwareway to turn it of that I know of, maybe when you've got root and stuff. But the options I mentioned arent that invasive (hope i say i right)

Hi i would like to make an application for my HTC s740 in Visual Studio.

I installed Visual Studio 2008, Windows Mobile 6 SDK and Windows Mobile 6 SDK Refresh

When i make the application i select Windows Mobile 6 Devise.

But when i make the CAP file with my application and tries to run in on my phone, i wont install.

Can anyone tell me what i do wrong?

EDIT: I can actually deploy the application to the phone, its just the CAP installer that is giving me problems.

Hello,

I see in Settings -> Personalize - two settings for Wallpapers: Lock-Screen Wallpaper and Home Tab Wallpaper.

Is there a tweak to merge these two functions ?

I'm looking for a solution without turning off HTC Sense.

Thanks in advance

!!!!!!! ARGH!!!

256 views and no replies!! :(

No one knows it or what ??
[HD2 General] Archer:
I think you don't have an answer because it's not a big deal.

So what, there are 2 different wallpaper settings. A lot of people prefer it that way. Why do you only want 1? (Incidentally, 63 <> 256)
[HD2 General] dick turpin:
why cant you just set the same wallpaper for the 2 screens, problem solved!:D why do you have to turn sense off by the way?
[HD2 General] arcades:
I want use programs that will change my wallpapers automatically every hour taking each time new wallpaper from my folder.

I tested every existing "wallpaper changer" for windows mobile. None of them is able to change HTC HD2 "Lock-Screen" Wallpaper! :mad:

And this is because of that stupid HTC Sense, which is trouble for many programs that work just perfect on other Windows Mobile operated devices.
[HD2 General] Archer:
There's nothing stupid about the Sense UI having its own wallpaper. I don't have any other applications that assume the same wallpaper as windows. Do you? The lock screen is part of the Windows UI, not the Sense UI. Hence, different wallpaper. Not stupid - normal.

Also, "trouble for many programs that work just perfect on other Windows Mobile operated devices" just sounds like you're *****ing. You need to be more constructive in your critiscism, but expressing details in your issues, and how you would like them to be resolved.

Look for an app to change the Today wallpaper. I'd be really suprised if there isn't one. This will change the lock screen wallpaper. You'll need to use both apps, unless someone is interested in making something specifically for you.
[HD2 General] arcades:
No. You're wrong. As I researched this problem with one developer of "Wallpaper Changer" - HTC HD2 has it's own title of "Lock-Screen wallpaper". On all WM devices Lock-Screen / "Start-Menu" wallpapers has title like "stwater*.gif". On HTC HD2 this file has title "HTC_stwater*.gif" with that "HTC" prefix. It is that HTC Developers were too excited customizing WM 6.5 on this device, because on other WM 6.5 phones "Wallpaper Changer" program works fine. And there are many such customized things which made HTC programmes. Now this powerful phone gets useless as many programs doesn't work properly on it.

I suppose you didn't check before suggesting it... So, you can prepare to be surprised, because that program which I tested - changes Today wallpaper too, but it doesn't change HTC HD2 Lock-Screen wallpaper.

Roger that! Affirmative!
[HD2 General] Archer:
Well I guess that when I change the today wallpaper on my phone and it also changes the lock screen, it must be doing something completely different to your phone.

I suggest that you actually try that before berating people who are actually correct.
[HD2 General] dick turpin:
right, i`m with you. wish i could help but i cant lol:)
[HD2 General] arcades:
1) Do you have HTC HD2 phone ?

2) Did you use external software to change Lock-Screen wallpaper?

If "no" for any question then you're not correct.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I am trying to help you - stop being an idiot.

Do you know how to change the today wallpaper without using a piece of software? If so, do it. You will see that it is also the same as the wallpaper in the start menu, and, if you bother to try it and then check, turn off sense and you will see it is the same as the today wallpaper.

Stop being so offensive and grow up. This is a forum, not a playground.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Actually, I've just reread the whole of this thread, and I can see what the problem is.

You're a newb.

Here's some facts for you. These are not debatable - they are facts.

There is a wallpaper setting for the HTC Sense Home tab.

There is a wallpaper setting for Windows (including Today, Titanium, and the lock screen.)

There is no such thing as the "HTC Lock-Screen Wallpaper" - that actually point to the one just mentioned in point 2.

I tend to be as helpful as possible on this forum. I've been here for over 18 months and I've helped a lot of people with problems on their phones from big issues, to tiny insignificant things (my very 1st post was one that was an answer to someone's question!) I'm on my 3rd Windows mobile phone, and yes, it happens to be a HD2. I've had it for 7 weeks now, so I'm quite familiar with the extra features that weren't on the TouchFlo interface of the Touch HD, or the Touch Diamond.

Despite what you think, I do know what I'm talking about. You're just not listening.

So, with that in mind, will you please stop being so aggressive and explain why you don't understand something I've said. I am happy to help, but I'm not a saint, so stop being offensive and we can be friends :)
[HD2 General] arcades:
LOL, what attitude you expect, if you don't read my questions and call me an idiot? Maybe it's something wrong with you if you're not attentive. Then, please,

read this quoted text once again

:

I know how to change every wallpaper type ( Home tab, Lock-Screen & Start Menu ) using standard settings. I know that turning off Sense and changing today affects on all three wallpapers and it's one file. If you were a bit more attentive you'd saw that I'm looking for a way to change "Lock-Screen" wallpaper (with turned on Sense) using external program. And I also mentioned that all such programs are able to change only Home tab wallpaper, even if Sense is turned off.

If you are trying to help, please, read my answers carefully before using offensive words...
[HD2 General] Archer:
Good luck newb. I'm out.
[HD2 General] arcades:
See on attached Screenshot.

Is it something new to you ? :D

Guess there is something what you can learn from "newb".
[HD2 General] seed_al:
Stop being aggressive and listen, if you want help!

Okay... johncmolyneux is right. There's only two kinds of wallpaper: One for Sense, and one for the lockscreen and start menu.

The one for Sense is called "Home tab wallpaper".

The one for the Lockscreen and start menu is called "Lock screen wallpaper".

If Sense is turned off, the the Today Screen wallpaper is the same as the lock screen and start menu wallpaper.

The Today Screen, lock screen and start menu wallpaper is the file "stwater_480_800.png" in your Windows directory.

OKAY, that's for the explanation. NOW.... WHAT programs have you tried? I will have a look at what they actually do, so that I can find out what's wrong.

However, it is clear that the programs can only change either the Sense wallpaper or the lock screen wallpaper, because they are different files. Afaik there is no program that changes both at a time.
[HD2 General] arcades:
seed_al, thanks for your clear answer, highly appreciate it.

all above I knew already, EXCEPT this thing:

When I tried to change Lock-Screen wallpaper (which is same as Start Menu wallpaper), it was set to default file: \Windows\ HTC_stwater_480x800.gif. It looks like a blue gradient default wallpaper. And unfortunately it stayed after soft-reset :( I asked other HD2 users and they had the same result.

If I'm able to change Lock-Screen wallpaper from "Settings" without soft-reset, maybe there should be possibility to do the same with external program and without soft-reset? When I manually change Home-tab wallpaper - it changes immediately, when I change Lock-screen wallpaper from settings - I see Windows Mobile "Loading" for couple of seconds. As I understand it means WM unlocks current file from being used by appropriate process and changes wallpaper. Then, maybe there could be possibility to unlock file from external program? I'm not familiar close to WM, but I guess some things that are done on Windows XP could be done on WM (here I mean only that well coded program could trick WM features) ? For example, in WIN XP I use great program "Unlocker" to free files from being used by running process.
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Strange...

Why is it that so many newbies who come on here for help turn argumentative and aggressive? Is it something in the air they breath or what? :(

I appreciate that for some English is not their first language so some things do get lost in translation; however how the hell they expect help if they are giving it lip is beyond me.

There are lots of people on here, including me, who don't mind helping newbs as we were newbs once. Even though they post the same question a thousand times without reading or searching first, which is SO frustrating, we still try to help.

I suspect this thread will die very quickly unless the OP starts getting a little more friendly......

Just lighten up a little.

[HD2 General] seed_al:
Okay, I had a deeper look into it, and this is how it works:

The HTC_stwater_480_800 file is in ROM. It is not the lock screen/start menu wallpaper.

The stwater_480_800.png file is the wallpaper. When you change the lock screen wallpaper in the settings, it overwrites that file.

If you set it to default, it takes the HTC_stwater_480_800 from the ROM, renames it (i.e. removes the HTC_) and replaces the stwater_480_800 file.

NOW...

...if you do change the wallpaper from the settings, everything is fine, it changes immediately...

BUT...

...if you replace the stwater_480_800.png file by hand, you need to soft reset for the change to take effect!

I don't know why this is, but this may be the reason why those programs can't change the lock screen wallpaper immediately. There must be a possibility, as HTC Sense IS able to change it immediately, but obviously, only replacing the stwater_480_800.png is not enough.

But anyways, the "Home tab wallpaper" (which is only for Sense) is still completely independent from the "Lock screen wallpaper" (which is the stwater file for the lock screen and start menu). As far as I understood, you want a program that changes both at the same time? I think there is no such program at the moment.
[HD2 General] arcades:
Hehe, see that if I didn't post my second aggressive bumping reply, this thread would have been lost deep in the forum without any answer at all. Old threads usually are ignored.

I just feel that he wanted to show off with his knowledge, call me idiot, newb or whatever and didn't carefully read my answers or explained it in manner that it looked so. Maybe I also explained my question not correct and we misunderstood each other.

seed_al just explained it in one post, so it's really looks clear. Laconic and effective.
[HD2 General] arcades:
Thanks, that's definitely what I wanted to know!

Really, I would be happy to find a program which could change only Lock-screen Wallpaper in specified time intervals, because I already have that, which can handle Home-Tab wallpapers :)

If it's possible to HTC Sense than it should be possible to any application, but I guess developers just don't want to mess with MS WM API.
[HD2 General] seed_al:
Or no developer felt the need for such an application so far. Maybe you should request an app like this in the appropriate forum section, perhaps you'll find a developer that can help you.
[HD2 General] arcades:
Thanks for suggestion, I'll definitely try it. As I have some experience of driver development for windows xp ( C coding ), I'm also interested in doing it for Pocket PC's and would like to contribute. :)
[HD2 General] rzasharp:
Solution !

Hello, mate, I think I can give you the solution. It's called Auto wallpaper changer 1.41 and its made by a developper in this forum. See original thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=557248.

It was not made specifically for HD2 but it's working like a charm on my HD2. It changes automatically (or manually) both windows start page, lockscreen and Sense background (called "TF3D" for Touchflow, previous name of Sense).

Hope it makes you as happy as me. :)
[HD2 General] arcades:
Thanks for help.

I already tried that progam.

I wonder how did you get this program to change Lock-Screen wallpaper on your HTC HD2? :)

Could you describe step-by-step, as what options did you set and etc ?

Thanks in advance
[HD2 General] rzasharp:
Well, I'm still using this program to automatically change the two wallpapers on a regular basis and it's working fine. The installation and using is pretty straight-forward, but I think the real problem with you might not be related to this program but to other issues...

First of all, I have two tweaks installed in my device.

I use the "grzegorz10 B4all Tabs 1921" that allows me to use the same wallpaper for all tabs in the sense interface (same wallpaper for homepage, constacts, calendar, music player etc.). For this to work, you have to choose STATIC wallpaper images, not the animated ones that are included in the device. It's working fine with weather animation, but as long as you don't choose one of the animated sample wallpapers included by HTC! This tweak can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544422 (post n°3).

Beware. Since I wanted to have 20 shortcuts for homepage, instead of default 12, I installed the "grzegorz10_1921_B4all+20Shortcuts.CAB" (and previously installed the other tweak that only create the 20 shortcuts).

For some reasons, all the wallpapers found here (http://htcpedia.com/touch-it-wallpapers/soft/leo-wall.html) work perfectly. You have to register to download or you can use this link: http://download.htcpedia.com/Roms/RMN/Touch-IT/Touch-IT%20wallpapers.zip. They are in png format sized 480 x 800. For unknown, reasons, I've tried basic .jpg files, but they didn't work. I didn't try to convert these in .jpg though. Maybe you can try and tell me what comes out of it.

So. At this point, you should have the same non animated background for all tab in the sense interface. You can have animated weather if you like.

I then installed the "Auto Wallpaper Changer", found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=557248. I don't really remember anything going during the process, simple .cab and softreset.

Then you go in the start menu,

- open the application,

- choose folder where to find portrait wallpapers (only using those)

- choose "change every" as you like

- you specify change in "today" (i.e. start menu) and "TF3D" (i.e. sense interface, previously called touchflox 3D)

- click on change now

- click on "apply"

- exit the app

No softreset is needed. At this point, you should see the same wallpaper for:

- start menu

- everytab in sense interface

- lockscreen

Hope you get through this! Good luck.
[HD2 General] puremind:
I don't think the poster's original post was rude or offensive. on the other hand I believe the responses he got were condescending at best.

I don't believe the poster is a newb, everyone can overlook one aspect without being treated as a newb.

I don't see why senior members / experts should be entitled to a harder tone than others. Sorry, those are just my two cents.
[HD2 General] puremind:
I confirm I am able to achieve this. But unfortunately I can't use Gregorz cab because it does not allow for full screen wallpapers. You still have the top and bottom bars showing that aren't transparent, so no floating design.

When I use HDWall patch with an HD wallpaper, the screenchanger doesn't work anymore.

Here is a link to the HDWallpaper thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=601369

Also I don't use 20 icons, as these become too small but only 16, and Gregorz cab create issues with the icons (unless the revised 16 icon version has fixed this---not tested).
[HD2 General] rzasharp:
Well that's the most I can get out of this. I'm not far from being a newbie myself and I cannot test HDWall because it's a bit too complicated to achieved just one purpose (fullscreen!).

At least, this solution works for the original request, and it proves that HD2 can achieve this purpose. To be able to use HD wallpapers is another issue. Maybe you should contact directly whether the creator of HDWall and/or Grzegorz10...

I would be interested to know if there is a solution.
[HD2 General] arcades:
WOW! It works for me too!

I wonder why ? ))) It didn't work previous time

I did just uninstall, re-install and soft reset. Then checked Today & TF3D and vua-la! Works like a charm!

Really don't know why It works now and didn't work when I checked it a week ago.

btw I had that "one wallpaper for all home tabs" installed already, nice thing. but it would be better if I could select, for which "home tabs" use single wallpaper, because if you have quite bright wallpaper, you don't see part of SMS text :)

Thanks you rzasharp, you have reasoned me to try one more time.

But it still looks strange. I can show how my problem looked before:

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=130187&view=findpost&p=3617632

That guy had the same problem. When tried to change Lock-Screen / Start Menu wallpaper - there appeared that default blue gradient wallpaper.

Maybe developer of this program did change something...
[HD2 General] arcades:
Hehe,

FINALLY!

I've insvestiged this problem and came to conclusion.

This "AutomaticWallpaperChanger" doesn't work with PNG formats on my phone. I think you might be confused about JPG and PNG. For me it's vice versa, program can set JPG Wallpaper, but not PNG. And my collection was 50/50 JPG and PNG files.

Solution: I simply renamed PNG to JPG without converting. And everything works great.
[HD2 General] arcades:
Try this thread for transparent bars: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=594812
[HD2 General] rzasharp:
Very interesting... Actually A.W.C. program will only work with my device when I use .png files. I can't be more certain that these are .png files. No jpg files can work, but when I renamed them to .png (without conversion), they also work! Why PNG with me and JPG with you? Remains a mystery to me.

I made sure that I associated PNG and JPG files with "HTCAlbum.exe". In the file explorer (and total commander), I can open PNG and JPG, so it's not about file association or stuff like that.

Very weird...
[HD2 General] arcades:
File Explorer doesn't show file extensions.

Total Commander shows.

Try following thing:

Connect HTC HD2 via USB to PC. Chose "Disk Drive" and open that folder where you have your wallpapers. You should be able to view them and see extensions.

Copy all files to Wallpapers folder, for example, on your desktop. And make back-up copy.

Delete wallpapers from your phone Storage Card.

Check file extensions. Then take about 5-10 wallpapers, rename to *.PNG and copy to storage card.

Disconnect phone from PC.

Try changing wallpapers with those .PNG files.

Let me know if you notice any difference. :)

For me that A.W.C. program works only with JPG files...
[HD2 General] rzasharp:
Trust me man, I use Total Commander and it shows the correct file extensions.

Actually, I created a folder with only two files.

One is originally JPG, the other is originally PNG. When I apply the "change now" button in AWC, it's able to use both file. When it uses the JPG, only the Sense homepage wallpaper is changed, not the Windows start pag (simple blue background). When it uses the PNG file, both wallpapers are changed.

When I rename both files to .PNG extension, both works perfectly.

When I rename both files to .JPG extension, only the Sense wallpaper is changed, the Windows wallpaper is just plain blue.

Changing the extensions using my PC equiped with Windows 7 OS gives me just the same results...

Maybe you could send me one .JPG wallpaper that works with you. Maybe something is wrong with mine.

Clueless.
[HD2 General] arcades:
Then it definitely looks weird ))

Here are two JPG files which work perfect to me.:
[HD2 General] rzasharp:
Guess what... Just as I was expecting. Doesn't work with .jpg, works with .png.

Anyway, I'm done. I know how to put the same wallpaper for homepage, start page and lockscreen. I also helped you a bit.

JPG or PNG, I don't really care. I'm happy anyway. :):):)

with all the respect, this is NOT a fair statement, agree with you on the most that whoever wants the help needs to make the helper understand the needs, but on the other end, if someone really wants to help, be a little patient and read through the entire post and make sure that the question/request is fully understood, or simply ask again if there is something "non-sense" in the question/request. remember! one doesn't have to help, and one doesn't have to tease either...never assume that someone asked the question without done his/her own search...with my personal experiences, search the forum is not as useful as we thought when we have so many customized versions of roms, they all act a little bit different in many ways, so one pill does not cure all the colds...just some thoughts, no offense...
