Heya guys!

Sorry if this has been asked before, I don't find a proper solution...

Is there a way to have a different wallpaper on the lockscreen and the startmenu? I'd like to use a picture as the lockscreen background and a plain black wallpaper for my startmenu.... I don't find a way to do it...

Can someone help, please?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] R3dD3vil:
you can use s2u2 for a lockscreen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Arclaud:
Hey!

Thanks for the tip... I tried it out, but i don't quite like the taskbar that comes with the app.... I think I find another solution though... I'm going to try it out later on this evening.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] smaberg:
to set different wallpaper to lock screen add this line in LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr

after tag

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Form Width="480" Height="800">

<LS_LockScene ID="Scene">

that would look like this after

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Form Width="480" Height="800">

<LS_LockScene ID="Scene">

<Image ID="Background" Opacity="1.0" Left="0" Top="0" Width="480" Height="800" Source="\windows\LockScreen\Wallpaper.png" />

enjoy this :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Arclaud:
Awesome mate! Exactly what I was looking for!! :D This makes me one happy man... ^^

Many thanks to both for the effort you put in!

sorry im a noob and im looking to use this but i do not understand what your saying to do, can u explain in more detail?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Arclaud:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Connect your phone to your desktop computer or laptop.

2. Make sure you unhide protected operating system files on you computer. (you can unhide them through the control panel)

3. Browse to /Windows/LockScreen and copy the LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr file to your desktop.

4. Open up the file with notebook.

5. Add <Image ID="Background" Opacity="1.0" Left="0" Top="0" Width="480" Height="800" Source="\Windows\LockScreen\Wallpaper.png"/> after the following line: <LS_LockScene ID="Scene">

6. Save the file.

7. Copy the file to your phone. (let's say your storage card, for example)

8. Download Total Commander to your phone and install it.

9 Run Total Commander and browse to the folder where you copied your edited file to.

10. Copy and overwrite that file to /Windows/LockScreen.

11. Soft reset your phone.

That's how I did it... I might have forgotten something or explained it unclear.... In that case, please feel free to correct me.

Help..

Im trying to enable this registry tweak but having some difficulty.. i have tried other apps such as S2U2 ( dont like apple lockscreen / CHT 1.8.5 ( lags) and trialed pocketshield (Price) so i ask for your help.

firstly can i achieve this tweak directly from the device? after i add this line how do i assign a wallpaper to it?

any advice would be welcomed THANKS
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jsmccabe78:
1- yes you can.

2- if it is a jpg, convert it to a png. any graphics program can do this.

3- Wallpaper.png is the name you need to give the background pic you are going to use. Simply take the background you want, convert to .png, and rename it to "Wallpaper.png" without the quotes and place it in Windows\LockScreen folder. (Note you can always change the source of the image to somehwhere else if you want or change the name of the image...but what was posted above seems easiest.)

Cheers.

any one have solution in this issue..:(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] roloracer:
guys unless I'm having a brain fart and missing something you guys are talking about, if you change the start menu wallpaper , it will display the same wallpaper in the lockscreen, so just put your desired lockscreen wallpaper in the start menu, and you will have it on the lockscreen.

Ok, what I do with any wallpaper I want to display on my lockscreen is, drop it in my sd card, and with total commander find it and copy it to my device/my documents/my wallpapers. Then I go to start menu/settings/home/ and in appearance, at the bottom I check "Use this picture as the background" and press browse right next to it, that will open a list of all papers on the device, find the one you want and click it, then it will go back to the appearance page and it will show the name of the paper you selected on the bottom, press ok, and that's it you'll see your paper now on the start menu background and on the lockscreen.

[Touch Diamond CDMA] anddy78:
Hi everyone, I'm from Venezuela and my carrier is Movilnet CDMA, recently I adquire a HTC Diamond, my previous phone was an HTC 6800, I will try to explain my trouble, but I'm not any good in english, so here we go:

1. The GPS works very well and locks in my city, only when it is in flight mode.

2. The registry key SUPL AGPS is empty by default, however I try every single tweak and GPSModes whit negative results.

3. In another cities of my country the GPS works flawless, even with filght mode on or off, I travel some cities and in some is working and in others simply not. This trouble is common for other CDMA HTC devices, i.e. HTC6800.

4. In areas with no coverage the cell phone, the GPS locks consistently and quick.

5. QuickGPS does nothing in my phone, it download data but I think the GPS doesn't use the data downladed.

6. All above happens to all people with diamond and another CDMA HTC devices in my country.

7. Our carrier doesn't use agps, in QPST all boxes are checked, the IP and port are set to 0, however I disable all boxes and I don't see any changes in performance of GPS.

The original radio was 1.12.34F, but now I'm using 1.12.20 because is giving me better gps results.

The ROM is stock, and the test was done with Garmin XT, GPSTest, VisualGPSce and HTC GPS tool, also instaled GPS fix from HTC and cleangpsdata. ;-)

I need some help for solve this issue, Thanks.

I think this is generally a good idea, but I think there is so much material out there already, some people won't like it and instead they will shout "SEARCH!".

Having said that, I would like to be able to design my own skins (like Laskartheme's), but haven't got the faintest idea of where to start.

I don't know the answer to question 2, but for question 1 see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=589459&highlight=compact+framework. You need to install Compact Framework 3.5 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en).

If you have any issues, this thread helped me quite a lot: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=597806&highlight=icon.

HTH!
[HD2 General] kilrah:
SEARCH!

;)

Joking, but the point is that this forum is literally made of that, wilth thousand of such threads. Having everybody give their own, different opinion, you'd just end with a huuuuge thread where no 2 answers are the same and nothing can be found, and essentially only repeats what's already there. Everybody likes his device his own way, so what they have to do is browse the tons of mods themselves and decide which ones they want to use.

Then if you have specific questions, ask them.

For what you're asking about have a look in the themes&apps subforums, some icon packs, taskbars etc are there, also look for HDWall (in my signature) that lets you make a custom tab bar.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] p3eps:
I spend quite a lot of time travelling, and find my HD2 has an ideal sized screen for watching films on when on the move.

Previously I had the Touch HD - which was also great.

I've been using a program which I found on here called MP4forHD - which works great - but all the videos are slightly out of sync. I'm processing them on a quad core 2.83ghz PC with 8gb or RAM, so I don't think its the PC thats the problem. When I check them on my PC once they've converted - they're already out of sync - so its not the phone.

The program converts directly from a DVD or file - which is exactly what I want.

Prior to MP4forHD, I was using another tool I found on here which was just called Encoder. It only did files, so I had to use DVD Decryptor, then VOB joiner to make a file that it could re-encode. I've tried it just now, and its also out of sync.

Both these programs have a setting for HTC Touch HD - so they encode at the correct resolution. I've tried fiddling with settings, but no matter what I do, it always seems to be out of sync.

What programs are folk using to get a good video file - and what settings? I'm away tomorrow morning on holiday and have a pile of out of sync films to watch! I hope I can get some suggestions so that I can re-encode a couple of them to be in sync

Cheers...

which app you use to play movie on your Leo?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] p3eps:
I just use the standard Manilla player as its the only one that utilises the GFX chip on the phone. I do have Core Player, but it doesn't play the movies any better.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] p3eps:
I've just been hunting through Core Players advanced options and realised that there is an A/V offset - which if I set it to about -0.3 seconds works perfectly!

Ideally I'd still like the films encoded in sync, so if anyone has any magical programs / untilites then please let me know. At least I'll manage to watch in Core Player in sync on my flight tomorrow :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cmstackar:
I use avidemux, which is good because it has lots of options and is free. I hear handbrake also works well, and microsoft even has their own, which worked well for me the one time I've used it

On a side note: If you have the time, could you see how high you can get the bitrate on a h.264 WVGA video before it starts stuttering?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] animal7296:
I am having a problem with my hero. What is going on is that ever since the prl update to 60660 my phone switches in between EV and 1x constantly dropping data connection. This is really frustrating and would like to see if anyone has a fix or work around for it.

I was running gumbo1.5c when it started happening. So i rru'd and it still does it. Currently still stock. Tried switching to EVDO only and cant recieve calls or texts and 1x is real slow.

Also I should mention that before the prl update i had NO EVDO. so i guess some is better than none but the frustration it is causing me sux.

I'd suggest you might have more joy in the CDMA subforum, as most CDMA Hero users hang out there.

[ICON] (Update 27 FEB) Icons "Victorian Time" + .psd file (512x512) to make your own

I added some Icons in the wrong topic (sorry for that) so there was a suggestion I should open a new topic. Here it is. In the first post just a few examples, in the 2nd post the zipfiles with the PNG files and some nice Steampunk backgrounds.

I made them in 100x100 and in 150x150. If you have an X1, the 150x150 are just the right size for you ;-)

If there are any requests please feel free to ask and I will see if I can make something for it. I made the icons for the programms I frequently use.

Actually these are part of a Wisbar Advance Desktop theme I am working on, but it can take ages before I finish it I quess, as I am never satisfied. The goal is to make a complete steampunk theme out of it.....

The PSD file (512x512) is on page 2 POST 11 (on top of page 2)

Enjoy

Cheers,

Arnold
[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:

In total around 35 icons per category (100x100 or 150x150) and 2 backgrounds. Please take the backgrounds from the zip file, they are better in quality.

[Windows Mobile Themes] braindoc:
These are very beautiful, no doubt they took quite a bit of time to make. Have you considered removing the text from the icons? This would allow the icons to be used for programs or functions other than those specifically stated.

Love these! Folder?

LOVE these icons! Thank you SO much. Question from a total noob:

I've tried icons before using total commander to place them in the \windows folder. Only one or two would actually show up after soft reset.

Do I place these directly into the \windows folder? There is an icon folder that appears empty in the windows folder - not there?

After that, do I need to do anything else beside soft reset? Have not had too much experience with registry and usually need step by step - which the wiki does not appear to help with.

Thanks again and would love to see a donate button?

FOLLOW UP: I copied the files in the folder to the \windows folder and soft reset. Nothing changed. Anything I am missing? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:
haha, coincedence, I just made the donate button as I spend days making other icons and wallpapers for WP7 themes ;-) Here it is! Thanks bro!

Well, if you use them in WAD2 just put them in your storage card and add widget using them as the image.

I wouldn't hold my breath, that's going to be more of the same stuff. The OS isn't ready, has no dialer and other important parts; they won't be able to clarify whether third-party apps will be able to work in background as there are no third-party apps for WP7. If they see lags in the interface that won't mean anything. If they don't it won't mean anything either.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RustyGrom:
There is a dialer. Just not done.

And who's to say that the build shown at MWC wasn't an old build? They kept insisting that it was an "early" build. Most people probably just assumed that "early" was still "recent". But what if by "early" they meant "from a few months ago"? If nothing else it was somewhat old because that was their latest "stable" build while their devs certainly have unstable builds being worked on still. No way they risk a huge event like that with untested software. And they don't want to show their whole hand so far out. They just wanted to get the base UI and principles out there to get the hype started. We'll prolly se a more feature complete build at MIX. Maybe even a full emulator

It's not like Engadget is going to be borrowing the device with no MS person around. I wouldn't be surprised if a MS person was the only one using the device like at MWC. Don't expect Engadget to find anything out by playing with it. If there is any new info learned, it will be from a MS person telling them the info while showing off the OS. Not impossible but not likely either.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RustyGrom:
Engadget's latest teaser for the event sheds some more light...

http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/the-engadget-show-tapes-tomorrow-snow-or-shine-plus-livestr/

so yea, doesn't sound like the engadget folks will be getting any actual hands-on time with it. For now you either have to work for Microsoft or be the 6yr old child of a Microsoft employee.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
So, since I missed it, was there anything interesting on the show?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] joozzt:
No, engadget earning a lot of money on transmitting a WP7S ad.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] crd22:
No not much at all.

The guy at MS was very vague (except for the "hint" that we should attend Mix2010) and didn't reveal any new information.

The biggest thing was the first WP7 phone, the LG whatever. It had a keyboard, but they neglected to try out WP7 in landscape.

They said not to rule out Linux and Mac support for WP7. It is currently not supported, but is an "internal debate".

Also noted is that the IE is an early build, and I wouldn't be surprised if the whole OS is still an early build.

Supposedly MS has been talking with Adobe for awhile and Flash would be an important thing to have in the browser (something of that sort) and MS wants their browser to be competitive, yada yada.
