One word: fab-u-lous!!

There are a few things that I am seriously hoping for in the next version:

The option to set the "Music" button to a specific application.

The option to set the "Messenging" button to a specific application.

The option to set the "Phone" button to a specific application.

The "Calendar" hub to show the month not just the day of the month.

Of course... it is functional enough we don't need "Sample Hub"'s anymore. :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] AllyKat:
Sorry

Fireslave, holy crap this is beautiful... I am so curious about the up and coming 2.0. Anyways, since my last post a few days ago, I happened to notice that this theme is controlled by a rather straight forward XML format. Since this girl has to deal with XML for her Nintendo DS cheat devices, she wishes she had held off two seconds before posting my previous comment.

Okay...

So, I have an Samsung Omnia 2. Looking around for WVGA supportive Windows Phone 7 themes lead me to fail after fail. I am happy that this theme stretches to fit the screen. The Omnia 2 has a lot of built-in custom apps and system management skins. As a result, there are some pro's and con's that conflict with the theme. I am working on a mod to the 1.7 Suite for those who may benefit from my concerns.

Unfortunately, I do not know how to take a screen capture of my phone. I am not sure how best to describe all customizations that I have made so far.

There are a couple of things that I would like to tweak before releasing it. These are the dead-end's that I have reached that I would appreciate assistance with:

A version of the Programs page that shows only links in the "Start-up/Programs/Games" folder as opposed to the current Games Hub.

Switch the 24 hour times to 12 hour times. I personally loath 24 hour time.

The Photos page show images in the sub-folders.

Cannot launch the Comm Manager or the Wifi Manager. The Omnia 2's is very user friendly.

Please, please, please help!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Omega Ra:
I too have an i920 Omnia 2. to change to 12 hr time all you have to do is edit the home.xml. in there there is the option to change HH:mm date to hh:mm and that makes it 12 hour time. As for the others, for the games hub all you have to do is add opera, and it shows all your games. The Comm Manager I can not figure out either as I like Samsung's as well, but can't find the .exe for it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] AllyKat:
Thank-you... I noticed that is based upon the .NET Frame time format so I was able to add the AM/PM marker thanks to your head's up.

Mod by AllyKat

So...

For all those of us that use alternate applications for most of our day to day usage of our phones (really common on Samsung phones), I have a mod that I hope you will like.

Sorry, I do not know how to take a screenshot with of my phone but know it is should be possible.

Attached below is a customized version of FireSlave's WP7 Suite 1.7.

Here's what's differnet:

Most of the Hubs launch applications as opposed to individualized pages (also helps cut down on memory usage.

The configuration was moved into a Hub and updated to allow most of the Hubs applications to be customized.

Switched every theme from 24-hour to 12-hour time (does show AM/PM).

Cleaned up the Weather Hub's look.

Removed the Physical Buttons bar at the bottom (HomeScreen can still be reached by Left-to-Right sliding motion ~ Weather is a bit fincky but I am not done with it yet.)

Added Comm Manager Hub and customized it.

Right button and Right-to-Left sliding motion launches standard Start Menu.

Removed Add/Remove programs option since standard Start Menu now easily accessible.

Removed a handful of Hubs (ie Games, About Me, etc.)

I would appreciate feedback. For those with an Samsung Omnia 2, I copied my variables file (except with the default weather location) into the download. I am aware that I do not know how to align text to the right (which I would appreciate) so that the overall look will be smoother for various hub buttons.

The only other thing I want to do with this pending any other cool suggestions is go back to the post in this thread from a user about the shutdown. I would turn it into three more buttons under the right arrow.

Using this mod on my i8000L for a few hours now and I'm loving it. Great work!

Thanks for your effort.
[Windows Mobile Themes] AllyKat:
Here... replace my previous with this update... added more customization to be more supportive of non-Omnia's. Replaced Comm Manager with link to Windows Mobile's generic. I still have no clue how to align text. So, this is NOT a final version of my mod. I cleaned up one or two of the panels since my last release. Still trying to fix my Weather Hub (the triple slide back is a bit of a pain.)
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
I have the latest TL, as well as the update theme w7. The problem i keep running into is the autopop up of facebook trying to log in. It takes me to blank/black screen, i hit ok and nothing happens. Any help is appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Themes] boody_boo:
throttle launcher does not work on my HTC touch 2,,

anybody has any idea how to run it or about it's competability ???????
[Windows Mobile Themes] dietho:
Very great Theme

i made some Modification for me

change tile colour to 50% black transparency

replace 'me' Tile to open Opera Browser

added an Lock- Item to lock the Device with Fireslave's PocketShield Skin

hope Version 2 will be released soon :-)
[Windows Mobile Themes] williambs:
I am having a problem with editing tiles on the home page. when I press on one I do not get the ability to move or change the tile. Any suggestions on the problem?

Thanks, Bill
[Windows Mobile Themes] purian23:
This theme does not have that capability at the moment. The one he's working on version 2.0 will have all of that and much more. It's the soon to be released version.!
[Windows Mobile Themes] pl0ppy:
Nice theme, it is my current one. Sadly I can't get office hub to work :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] shockedpie:
can you share your mod here with us? or mybe just changed files! that would be great :D

I'm using chriscsh's mod (on page 609, it won't let me post the link)

it's a little bit slow on my omnia. any tips?

and twitter hub is not working. can you guys give us a walkthrough about how twitter and facebook hub works? so we can try to fix it, maybe :rolleyes:

fantastic work :D :)

thanks guys!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Panchiron:
Yes, I use the same mod by chriscsh:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6734130&postcount=609

And I have the problem with Twitter, it seems that updates but the screen remains empty/black.

Remember this other advice from the author about the .mscr file:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6756179&postcount=625

Anyway, the updating problem is going in a different way, I guess.

Greetings!
[Windows Mobile Themes] shockedpie:
thanks buddy :)

well it seems that we won't be able to update twitter at all. this theme uses artesea.co.uk to send twitter updates. but since twitter does not suppport remote login using username & password ANYMORE (only oauth) this website is useless :(

I've been looking through throttleWiki, but I'm kind of lost :confused: I mean I'm totally lost! how do I rearrange theme's tiles? I mean, where is the code? *_hub.xml or home.xml? and how can I change tile sizes? and one more, is there a way to make TL to take less time when moving to a new page? or going back?

I'm trying to approach something like this in the picture. help plz?! :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] shockedpie:
oh I found how to arrange the tile! wait for results, I hope :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] digitalray:
ok, i worked myself through all the posts in this thread now.

and decided to code a mod addon for criscsh's mod (we are all using i guess).

worked all day on some modifications and here is my final mod v1 i worked on the last 2 days:

ray's mod v1 for criscsh's mod

changes:

- changed 4th Tile (Alarm) to Opera with new Opera Tile Picture and text (internet)

- changed 6th Tile (XBOX Games) to Camera Tile with Camera Tile Picture

- changed Settings (Info) icon on lower right Side of Home to a wrench icon

- changed the "o_o" Symbol for "write sms" in favourite contact page and people detail page to a pencil icon

- changed the taskbar icons for sms (letter instead of o_o) and email (filled letter symbol), but chriscsh didn't implement them in his mod, so they are not shown. will include that in v2

- added a file explorer shortcut on home screen with SD Card icon above the settings icon (can be added optionally if you don't want it)

- added option to switch ON/OFF wlan by clicking at the upper left on the screen.

- added option to switch ON/OFF data connection by clicking at the upper left of the taskbar to the right of the wifi symbol (about 0,5cm from the left side of the screen) with data connection symbol

- added background image for bing (replaceable) and black box for search results (needs optimizing in single search result length, but ok for now, you maybe need to scroll further down to see more search results)

all changes are optional, if you don't like a single one just don't copy it over.

>> get it here: http://the-x-ray.de/rays_mod_v1.zip

or the zip attached to this post.

feel free to ask for additional stuff to add in my v2 or if you have questions for single change installation. i went through all throttlelauncher .xml scripting (& animation), mortscript and win mobile internal systemstate stuff the last 2 days, so i guess if it's possible, i could do it! ;)

hope you enjoy.

[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
Thank you for your help.....it solved the problem
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
Ray

awesome mods to this awesome theme, i was wondering if you can add possibly a facebook tile, or a favorite web page tile, like espn or something that we can access. Keep up the good work
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
Thank U very much for that
[Windows Mobile Themes] digitalray:
thank you very much. :)

i would be happy to do that, but i need more info. what kind of facebook tile do you want ? what should be in there and what should it do ? just start the facebook mobile website in your browser ?

do you mean the sports espn ?

what would you need in it ? is it enough that you have a tile with the espn logo that you can click on and your browser will open the espn homepage ?

got the espn logo, so i could make you a tile. do you know how to arrange hubs ? i could add it to the bottom or replace a tile you don't need (like camera or something), just tell me how you want it to be.

i wanted to code a rss tile (wide = 2 square tiles) like the pictures tile, that displays 3 headlines from your favourite rss feed, like espn or news (cnn, nbc, whatever) and updates every hours or every 30 minutes (you can change that in the xml file yourself then, i'll explain what to change).

i could make an option to open your rss reader when you click it or open the espn homepage for you.

but it will take me a week or two to code that since i work until the evenings all day the next two weeks and only will have little time for coding then.
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
In regards to the Facebook Tile, it would be cool to have the logo and just open up the webpage or the default application that comes with the phone, like facebook.exe or wherever it is installed, (just an idea)

Yeah ESPN would be really cool to have, the tile logo, and go straight to the espn homepage, since espn apps are on droid and iphone....it would probably be like a shortcut to a webpage --what do you think....its open for suggestions

i'd love to have a espn ticker with sports updates on the tile, but that may be a bit too much

i have no clue as to re-arrange the hubs at all, i use the camera, in all honestly i dont use the music tile because im mostly on pandora....(that rocks)...so we can replace the music tile or add it on the bottom.

ive never really messed with rss that much but like i said im open to however you design it....we can do 2 versions....lol

all your hard work is appreciated....thank u
[Windows Mobile Themes] Casey_boy:
Ahh yeah I think I know why; delete all code and add this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
<panel name="Music" height="90" width="185" visible="true" layout="Free">
<icon
X="0" Y="0"
width="185" height="90"
exec="****Insert location and name of Core exe file****"
path="#$THEME_BASE#\ImagesMusicVideos.png"
/>

<text X="10" Y="75" height="15" width="80" alignment="Near" text="Music" fontcolor="255,255,255" fonttype="Segoe Light,8,false"/>
</panel>
</root>

Hi fireslave!

AWESOME WP7 THEME!!!

hope you can give us tutorial on how to make/add hubs

thank you!
[Windows Mobile Themes] jsconyers1:
Awesome!

A quick question: How do you change the "Me" picture? I changed the link in the throttle launcher personal hub, but when I relaunch, it is not reading my picture. Any guidance?

Again - Great work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Fireslave:
Yes just give me a rest:D, in a couple of days you'll have it.

@everyone: People are reporting a horizontal scrolling, That's a ThrottleLauncher issue:(, if I fix it the problem comes with (W)VGA devices. I already reported. for the moment use the home fix that I user posted. Hope it solved for next release.

saludos
[Windows Mobile Themes] Fireslave:
It works for me:confused:, anyone have this issue?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Cosmocronos:
Works fine for me. Great job btw; I love this release!!!!!:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] jsconyers1:
If it helps I am linking to a picture (.jpg) on my storage card. When the animation raises on the "Me" no picture is showing...:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mick300ZX:
Change your picture to .png name it skull and drop it in the images folder in the WindowsPhone7_1.5 theme

Cannot get it to work.. HELP....

I've downloaded the theme. Followed the steps in thread.. Unziped and moved window 7 file to throt setup folder.. Changed the theme and saved it. Closed out config and started throt, but nothing loads up.. The theme Light3D that came with the throt app loads just fine. You can also see an image of the theme in the theme selection, but cannot see WM7 theme just the folder... What am I doing wrong... I was able to get ver 1.0 to run but not this one v1.5... My ROM is Energy... I don't think it's my rom because theme Light3D runs fine....:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] backlashsid:
how to hide the WM 6.1 taksbar ? also i dont c the battery n time as shown in d previeew !!:confused::confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Aaron McCarthy:
Did you flash a new rom or do a hard reset before installing this? Just curious because when you flash a new rom or do a hard reset sometimes it takes a few cycles for the battery to work properly (a cycle being 100 % down to 0%) If you did flash a new rom or even just did a hard reset then that could very well be your problem. If not, I'm stumped! I can't imagine anything in this theme that would make your phones battery run down quicker.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ttkyles:
nice

looking good on my TP2
[Windows Mobile Themes] vasujahagirdar:
hi thanks for replay,but i havent flashed/hard reset .just installed throttle 1.01 and than these wm7 1.5 zip.even im puzzled.as i mentioned earlier that i used the earlier version with no change in battery status.but i confess that only one among the previous wm7 themes,posted in this forum which exactly i dont remember had this problm.others no problm whatso ever.i checked 2 to 3 times with current my battery getting drained fast.and when i uninstall it,it will be ok.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Danni3:
i believe its because the newer build uses more resources since each panel is an individual panel and thus has to be loaded individually each time rather than being hard coded into the home.xml

the best solution is to use the previous suite

i could port most of 1.5 features onto suite 1 to conserve battery consumption if you really need it
[Windows Mobile Themes] ali1010:
Ok. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] digitalray:
got it.

ESPN Addon for ray's mod v1

unzip the file with the included folders to your desktop, then copy over all files and folders from the wp7 folder on your desktop to your device wp7 folder in \program files\throttlelauncher\setups\wp7.

makes a tile at the lower end of the tiles. click it to start up espn mobile website with news.

there is a version for all browsers (opera) and a version for the old internet explorer in case the first one doesn't work with your browser for any reason. you don't have to change the path to your browser or anything. :)

enjoy & good night folks :)

ray
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
thanks ray for the espn tile, one quick question, how do i install it, where do i unzip or extract the files....just under hubs, im lost if someone can provide a step by step where to put all the files i'd appreciate it
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
Ray

thanks alot, it worked flawlessly, the only thing left for me is to change the Me hub, to something other than facebook, cuz although i changed the values in the xml file, it keeps trying to load, and making a facebook tile thats independent like the ESPN. Again thanks for your help and hard work
[Windows Mobile Themes] digitalray:
what do you want the me tile to do when you click it ? what should be opened ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
Ray

you know how some phones have facebook already installed or done via cab, its independent than going through facebook online via the web. if you can design a tile with the facebook logo, that once you press it, would open up that application, kind of like a shortcut and what you did with the espn tile. hope that helps...
[Windows Mobile Themes] digitalray:
and once again.. ;)

ray's facebook mod for chriscsh's mod

i coded 2 mods:

1)

ray's fb mod

this mod just changes the behaviour of clicking the "ME" Tile (Hub) and starts your facebook application.

2)

ray's fb tile mod

this mod changes the ME tile with a facebook tile and starts your facebook application.

as requested by anesh.

for both versions you only need to change the path to your facebook.exe file in the xml file.

i hope to get into contact with fireslave and criscsh soon to maybe cooperate on a complete working facebook screen like criscsh designed it.

ray
[Windows Mobile Themes] Casey_boy:
Don't think you need to :p Fireslave is currently working on implementing Facebook into the Me tile in his latest version of this theme (currently in private beta testing).
[Windows Mobile Themes] digitalray:
oh nice !! :) thx casey. i am not too much into all that since i just got to know of all this last week.

i'll wait for fireslaves release 2.0 and talk with criscsh about his plans then.
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
How would one go about making the music tile, link up to Pandora ? possibly replacing the radio link when you click on the music tile ? any help is appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Themes] JHoogstede:
Maybe this question has been asked before. But I'm running this fabulous theme wit the WP7 mod and it has a very nice SMS hub. But I would very much like to access my e-mail via a hub. Is there any way to implement a hub for e-mail?
[Windows Mobile Themes] igorbr1:
copy the hub 4 xml file inside de wp7 origanal theme folder and paste in wp7 mod folder...it's inside the setup folder inside throttlelauch folder...
[Windows Mobile Themes] igorbr1:
i think this is what you want...

extract and put xml file inside Program Files\ThrottleLauncher\Setups\wp7\Hubs\DefaultHubs

remember to backup original file..and it's set to open hotmail account, if you have outlook instead hotmail, click in this xml and edit where is HOTMAIL to OUTLOOK, i think it will work...

sorry my english

Co0kie's Home Tab / ThrottleLauncher / HOST

I love the way this is coming up and represent having WinPhone 7 on 6.5.x :)

I think ThrottlrLauncher 1.2.1 (http://www.throttlelauncher.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1517) is also about to release so may be your theme pack will take advantage of this?

Also If I see your 2nd post about Office Hub... Do I need to install that separately along with your suite?

Currently I have Co0kie's Home Tab which works on Manila...Also I have seen HOST (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=685928) which is standalone application is promissing too.

Now I am thinking should I go for Cookies Home Tab 2.0 (after Release) or Your Windows Phone 7 Suite Or I will install your HOST?

I have also started a thread @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=826872 and wanted to view/Pool. I am still yet to decide my next theme.

I like your theme a lot :) Keep up the good stuff.

BTW: When if the release scheduled/expection?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] JHoogstede:
Thanks man!!! This is exactly what I was looking for!
[Windows Mobile Themes] killerkhatiby009:
Hey fireslave the development looks great I just came across this and I was wondering what the difference between suite 1.7 and suite 1.2 are? The threads are both dated the same day so is one newer/better than the other?? Would you happen to know how the performance is on a Touch Pro 2? I assume 1.7 is the newer/better version but I was confused as in the first post there is a link to a new 1.2 version so I was not sure.

edit: nevermind I think I figured it out. Still wondering about performance on the TP2? read some people say it is sluggish, is v2.0 supposed to improve on this aspect?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Fireslave:
yes, 2.0 is faster. Ill release this very soon (en of this month)

[Windows Mobile Themes] BereanPK:
Excellent work all around, everyone -- just what I've been looking for. Since I don't "upgrade" until mid-2011, it's cool to have a nice alternative to Manila (and show off a pseudo-WP7 device for those who don't look close enough to see my phone isn't an actual WP7 device).

Waiting for Fireslave's v2.0... nice working with the various mods in the meantime... keep it up everyone!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tribulattifather:
I tested for you before; if you need testing just PM me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BereanPK:
One question for anyone who can follow along the pointers in the XML...

Notwithstanding the anticipated v2.0, I really like chriscsh's concept version http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6734130&postcount=609 for the extras it provides (Facebook, expanded weather, expanded music, info & system settings); but I really also like fireslave's taskbar with operator and signal strength & battery visuals.

I've been perusing through the XMLs and trying to merge Fireslave's taskbar onto chriscsh's mod, but everything I try is just giving me the battery on the far left of the taskbar and the clock on the right.

Anyone have a moment to look through the XML and see if we can merge these two taskbars?
