[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
Hey guys,

here's my newest strike for you. As the title tells all the things you have to know ;)

(Click image for full preview)

Features

VGA & WVGA

high quality ;)

completely reskinned chars/symbols (uhhh... hard work:rolleyes:)

landscape support

Requirements

TouchPal 4 (www.cootek.com)

(W)VGA device

CAB Installation

Disable TouchPal by selecting an other SIP

Copy the cab to your device

Start the cab

Softreset

Manual Installation

Extract the content of the ZIP

Copy it to PPC:\[ProgramFiles]\TouchPal\Resources\

Softreset

Donators

rexboy (3€)

NOTE: I don't plan to make a (W)QVGA version of this skin. My last QVGA (and VGA skin) was a lot of work and I missed the support by the other community member (Thank-You-Posts / PM's / DONATIONS). And I don't have a QVGA-Device anymore which makes testing for me impossible. So don't try to convince me. I will only share this one!

Okay, some infos about the QVGA version.

I had some conversation with drew2000 that he can help me with the smaller version. I tried, he tried, we failed. The main problem is, that a QVGA device is quite to small to have good and high quality graphics. Resizing the button isn't such a thing but the topbar and the font. SO FOR ALL OF YOU:

THERE WILL BE NO QVGA VERSION FROM ME OR DREW2000

BUT

You are allowed to resize it for personal use only

You are not allowed to share it here or elsewhere on the internet or spreading over PM

If you are good with QVGA skinning and you taking the challange to make it for QVGA (not resizing) feel free to PM me.

If you like my hard work, buy me a coffee ;)

CAUTION!

Modifying my skin without my permission isn't allowed!!! Please respect my work and ask!!!​

[Windows Mobile Themes] joshoon:
Wooow, that looks awesome, and fingerfriendly!

Can I use this without any other software? just using the cab?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
No, you need to have Cootek's TouchPal 4 for using it. Anyway, thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Uppy:
please make a QVGA version? I really love it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kioevad:
great work!

+1 please :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] tcchuin:
lycox,the pure black version still in developement? :|

and willl there be qvga version?and if qvga version ever exists,can i edit it to support v3.5 myself?><
[Windows Mobile Themes] RR33:
Great work Lycox as usual ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
Read the note on the first post.

Maybe I can get some help of drew2000, then it would be possible.

Thanks :)

Sorry tcchuin, I lost my files of the black version after a crash and another thing which decided me stop working on the black skin was the unreadability in light surroundings.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
Beautifull skin! I have a problem though.. getting a Installation of ....... was unsuccessful. Cootek Touchpal 4.0 installed.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
Hm, that's weird... I've added a zip file, which contains all the files for manual installation.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
Thank you very much :) Works now!

Beautiful skin! I love it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
All right :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] arturobandini:
I'm not using TouchPal but I must say this is a fantastic work.

Very nice skin :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
Thanks :)

Nice to hear, that a non-tp4-user likes it too :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] rexboy:
Wow what a fantastic skin, just donated to you Transaction ID: 385580592B208463A.

I toggle between Swype and Touchpal and to date the best Touchpal skin i used was Ezi-input (green) as its such a clean finish, it didnt look like an addon like some others but your's is the same.

It looks like a standard Touchpal skin, not an addon. Very simple and clean finish, great work mate.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
Thank you so much :)

Yeah, for sure. It doesn't look like an addon because absolutely every graphic is skinned and sometimes it was really frustrating ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] rexboy:
Well it shows. I tried to skin it ages ago but my skill level is just a little beneath yours lol. Even i wouldnt use my own skin :-)

I could imagine the frustration of skinning every little thing but the result is well worth it. Ill be using touchpal more often now vs Swype just to use it :-)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tcchuin:
sad to hear that no qvga version..thx anyway.
[Windows Mobile Themes] roma:
Very very nice! Looks very good on my Omnia II. Thanks a lot for your work and for sharing this theme Lycox. Much appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Themes] wittanny:
Thanks for a fantastic work Lycox.

It would be great if you also add highlight on the suggested word i.e. when you type with X9 on, there should be a highlight on the word that is suggested so that you can just press spacebar to select it and continue typing new words.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kroutnuk:
If you look closely, the highlight is dark gray (like the space button) but it is near to dark color, so this is difficult to see.
[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
Sweet!

Love it Lycox looks fantastic. Your work is top notch no doubt....hey have you heard from CooTek about a beta version for you to skin? You would think that they would be offering you a copy, I am sure plenty of sales of their product were attributed to the interest in your skin, the stock one works well but detracts from the excellent keyboard the best one I have tried.

Hopefully they will realize this and give you the opportunity to get a head start on a skin for TouchPal V5................you deserve it and the respect. Look forward as always to your creations......................cheers.
[Windows Mobile Themes] RR33:
hi Lycox,

I've just finished to port your skin to FK2 with my last layout :

Do you still have your Diamond ?

Because VGA is ok but I've not finished the WVGA version yet ^^

I'll send you the whole pack when all is finished so you'll modify what you want :)

PS: preview is in jpeg but it looks better than that with BMP on the phone of course
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
Looks nice :)

Sorry, RR33, was still busy these day, so I couldn't make a package and send you the resource files. Do you need them already?

Yes, still have my Diamond, wouldn't throw it away ;)

Is it possible to change the font in FK2? Don't know, because I don't use it. If yes, you need to have Zegoe UI font and for symbols you need Wingdings font.

Thank you so much drew :)

Yeah, I still red that TP5 will comming soon. Hm... I will ask them, if they need help with some gfx because IMO (and maybe yours) the graphic skills of them are very limited :o and the support of the TP-Dev-Team too :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] RR33:
Hi,

No I don't need source graphics it's ok thanks.

Yes we can change font but only if the font is present otherwise it bugs. Could you post Zegoe UI font please ?

Fantastic looking skin!

Clean, neat and most of all, stylish and simplistic!

Thx alot!! ^_^

@Any chance for a W7 SMS-Chat skin? That would be a perfect sms combo!
[Windows Mobile Themes] rexboy:
I only just saw your other Green Eziinput thread that someone posted on. Here i was complimenting the green Eziinput as it about the best touchpal theme i had used until tihs one and i didnt even realise it was your work as well lol.

2 of the best touchpal themes by yourself, awesome work mate.

[Windows Mobile Themes] johnny.g:
This is a fantastic skin - so much better designed than the stock one.. Is it possible to change the colour of the "suggested next word" ? for example if you put in "Not" TP will suggest a number of next words like "on" , "at" etc.. but the colour is royal blue which is v hard to read.. thanks again
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
Sorry, this color is hard coded. No chance to change it :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] Biglia05:
Love this, but would love qvga, if it's possible.
[Windows Mobile Themes] joe88l:
qvga conversion

I converted it for qvga version :D someone can create a cab??? for the installation of this zip extract all in the Programs/touchpal/resources folder... finally there is the qvga version ^^
[Windows Mobile Themes] joe88l:
for the creator of this beautiful works... post my works with yours in the first post (the conversion required more and more hours with photoshop) and thanks me ^^ and last but not least sorry for my english but i'm italian ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] chopper the dog:
ahhh you might want to look at post 34 and 35. someone tried before.

good day.
[Windows Mobile Themes] joe88l:
yes but my version work i've installed on my QVGA windows phone ^^
[Windows Mobile Themes] chopper the dog:
I'm sure yours works fine. and so did the other one that he had removed. You can alter his work for your own personal use. But you can't post it without permission. pm him he is a nice chap.

good day.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
Your're right chopper, he don't have my permission. Well, I thought and started to make a qvga version of my skin, but I'm a bit busy with some other projects (in high resolution).

Anyway, I will let it there becauso of so many requests. I will ask a real QVGA artist to help me, because you're resized version looks very ugly :rolleyes:

But be warned joe88l

You'd break the forum rules and my rules!!! Next time, you'll be reported to the mods!
[Windows Mobile Themes] joe88l:
sorry but i'm new there and when i posted it i didn't have idea than i'm breaking some rules sorry for this and please don't report to mods... sorry again
[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
Lycox I sent you a PM..............cheers.
[Windows Mobile Themes] aussiebum:
Hey Lycox, nice skin! But having weird issue with the cab version of your skin - for some reason when I run the cab it (almost) immediately says installation unsuccessful? Have no problems with the zip file of course :) This is on a HD2 with Miri V16... everything else installs fine so it's a bit weird how your cab doesn't.

Also noticed in your screenshots the spacebar is to the left. The normal TouchPal 4 has it in the centre... other than the fact you're using "DE" layout, how did you get the different key layout?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
Hm... Weird... I really don't know why on some systems the installer don't work... :confused:

Okay, with the space button it's a feature of TP itself. Just tap'n'hold the space button and slide it to left or right.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:

[Windows Mobile Themes] aussiebum:
yeah not a big problem. If you don't mind I might try repackaging your zip file into another cab and post it up here for other users who might have a problem with your one.

thanks for the space tip - I didn't see it mentioned in the manual at all.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mega Maniac:
Georgeous skin, awsome work, looks great on my HD2 and makes touchpal worth keeping :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] aussiebum:
Hey Lycox, did you get my pm with the re-packaged cab link?

hi~great work ;)

when i choose portuguese querty, the icon don't appears , only a black hole :)

another thing..can i make the layout red and post it here? i know, is no more wp7.. is not blue :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
Hm.. weird. Can you post a screenshot of the "black hole"?

You can make a red layout, but it's only allowed to post it here. I'll link to your post then.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kromo1:
the black hole is maybe because you have made eng fr sp etc to pl?

if i choose eng the engicon appears, but if i choose portuguese querty , nothing .. no icon. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
Well, I guess it's a problem of TP itself. The "lang.png" doesn't have the "PT" part in it natevily. Or with the original skin does the pt-graphic appears? If yes, could you please post the original here?
[Windows Mobile Themes] kromo1:
i made a little change . change pl to pt in red skin

yours blue one with pl and the cnaged one with pt

i'm a noob, and stupidly i tried to make the TP get the pl icon thinking is pt.

http://rapidshare.com/files/444106770/TouchPal4_WinPhone7.zip

i can try to change all to pt :)

eng fr cs etc.. to pt. and see what happen

lycox is not important , but its weird. the soft have implemented to choose the right icon , when you choose the language.if the pt language is not implemented i never can get the pt icon.
[HD2 General] nrkelly:
when I download the files, I don't have cab files. For instance, I downloaded the CHTEditor. It downloaded as a zip file w/ the .cab extension. when I click it to unzip, there are no cab files. Just some kind of file w/ the little windows icon next to it. Is there some way to download the .cab file for editor (and all the other files that do this to me) ota?
[HD2 General] ox_eye:
I think you are in the wrong forum. It's not a HD2 problem but a windows problem. Maybe a Mod will move your thread to the right forum.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
if you "run" a cab on your pc it opens like a zip. instead copy the whole cab to your phone and run it.the phone sees it as an installer.
[HD2 General] nrkelly:
you ROCK! I have been trying to figure that out for the past 2.5 weeks. THANK YOU!!!:D
[HD2 General] stefanospizzica:
Hi

I have an HTC HD2 with a WM6.5 coocked rom (Artemis, release 7.0).

I would like to downgrade pocket outlook to the one of WM6.1 because I'm using some third parties sw that it is not compatible with the new pocket outlook.

Is this possible by copying some files from the previous rom?

Thanks

Stefano
[HD2 General] Kev007:
yes it's very possible, just install the attachment (it's also un-installable so you can get the previous version back)
[P3600 General] iambasil:
My P3600 (Orange SPV M700) is getting on a bit, so I'm trying to keep it alive.

My phone frequently starts scrolling up for no reason at all. As if I am scrolling up ridiculously fast on the scroll wheel or holding the 'up' directional button. I think in the past it has also scrolled down, but I'm not certain. Simply doing a small jog on the wheel (and less reliably, pressing up or down on the d-pad) will momentarily stop the scrolling.

This makes the phone virtually unusable at times, and the problem has been getting worse. I have done a hard reset and it made no difference - I have also opened the phone completely and thoroughly cleaned it - still no change.

I use the touch screen for virtually everything, so will happily disable up/down buttons or scroll wheel (or both if required!).

Can you please tell me how I might be able to do this?

The solution proposed in post six of forum thread 581927 (it won't let me post links here coz I'm newish) does not work for the P3600

Many thanks
[P3600 General] sissy38mad:
same problem

I have exactly the same problem. ¿Any help?
[Desire General] bigbamboo5:
I've had mine for three days on Voda, UK. Everything has been fine - great, actually - except that this afternoon when I took the phone out of my pocket, it was completely off. I tried hitting the power button, but nothing - no matter how long I held it. I could only get it on again by removing the battery and reinserting it.

I am desperately hoping it is just a one-off, but am obviously worried in case it happens again and I am thus unreachable. Any ideas?

Thanks, in advance.

:)
[Desire General] zippyioa:
If it does happen again it might be worth you considering a factory reset to see if any installed software is causing the shutdown.

If it doesnt happen again - problem solved.

There is only one thing you can do really..... wait and see :D
[Desire General] bigbamboo5:
I still have a few days of 'instant return' warranty left and - as is usual with these things - I expect it to go wrong when my 'no questions asked return' period is up, so I have to wait for ages to get a refurbished replacement.

Hopefully it isn't a hardware issue... :(
[Desire General] malmosyd:
Instant return??? Im sorry,but what does that mean...

Im from Sweden and ive never heard of that here... Is it something u have to pay for or is it like "open buy"??

Just courious....
[Desire General] sleepnow:
I had a similar problem today; out of nowhere, the phone just decided it wasn't going to wake up from sleep no matter what. The only way to get it back was to take out the battery, but it made the phone pretty much unusable. The problem turned out to be my SD Card. Took it out and the phone worked again, but the the SD card is toast.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] willgill:
This has got to be the dumbest question I've ever asked but it's infuriating me that I haven't figured it out.

I just had my wife ask me to write down a phone number. I quickly tapped it out in Notes. Then I swipe over to highlight and press and hold to Copy. So far so good.

Then I go to add a new contact and I can't Paste the dang number. I press and hold... no pop-up to Paste. There's no keyboard Paste. How do I Paste in a new contact number?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] vdl:
try to recall and edit the contact with telephone keypad

this wokaround is useful also when you want to add alphanumeric characters in telephone numbers fields because with LEO's keyboard this is impossible
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] willgill:
Let me make sure I have this correct:

After I've copied, I go to dialpad and Paste, the Save to Contacts? It looks like that's do-able.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gnash.s:
If you have Swype keyboard, the copy/paste option is built in and you can use this anywhere. I generally have my hardware keys assigned for copy/cut/paste using AEBPlus so that I can do this anywhere without having to press and hold every time, including file copies and stuff.
[TG01 General] VeikkoK:
Hey,

I have used WM phones before with software called MemMaid, but unfortunately it is not made for WM 6.5. It was handy to delite all temporary internet files etc and manage tasks with that programme. Therefore I wonder is there any other good programmes for deliting temp. internet files or what is the best way to do it? I use both IE and Skyfire on my TG01.

Thank you in advance!
[TG01 General] Misterik:
I use mem maid 2.3 just fine with wm 6.5.
[TG01 General] Pere:
So do I. MemMaid 2.3 (Build 230) works perfectly under WM6.5 on TG01.

But it's true that only cleans IE Cache (Not Opera, NetFront, Skyfire, Iris Browser...)

I've not tested it yet, but my idea is writing a Mortscript script to delete all the cachés at the same time.

Best Regards
[TG01 General] Misterik:
IE is in the default quick clean, opera and netfront can be added in settings.
[TG01 General] Pere:
I can't clean Opera and Netfront cachés with MemMaid (perhaps because both apps are installed in the SD card
[Hero CDMA General] amdme127:
I did the flashrec method to root my phone (earlier today) and downloaded and damagecontrol 2.06 rom onto my sd card.

When I boot up the phone with the volume down and power button for hboot, I go through the wipe and hit menu button I then get the htc symbol and proceeds to a symbol that is a triangle with an exclamation point and a phone laying next to the triangle.

Can people tell me what I need to do from here to load the damagecontrol 2.06 rom. I did some looking on the forums and other places across the net and didn't find anything that pointed out a solution so far, I can still boot into my 1.5 hero and do things, but at this time loading the 2.1 rom is eluding me.

Thanks for all the help

this used to work when i did on my mytouch

cd /data/app-private/

ls

cp */sdcard

when i enter the command on my nexus i get error

cp: cant stat '*': no such file or directory

can some body please tell me how properly write the comand for a nexus one
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanzachary:
What exactly are you trying to accomplish with the command? Are you trying to copy everything from /data/app-private/ onto your microSDHC card? If so, I would just (as root), do:

cp /data/app-private/* /sdcard

Make sure that you su to root before issuing the command, or you will get a permission denied error.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] napoleontheruler:
doesnt work either
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
What are you trying to do?

Can you link the place where you originally saw this command?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloOGB:
so from the command and the errors you get using your and nathanzachary's version it looks like

a) your missing a space between * and /

b) you need root access to read anything in /data

perhaps you can tell us what the output of the "ls" is and maybe exchange that with an "ls -al" ? that would show us the access rights. please just copy the whole session.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] napoleontheruler:
i know about the space typo. "ls" shows all of the protected apps on your device. this command line would basically let you save any protected app to the devices sdcard. in a nut shell paid apps for free but it wont work on my nexus. can anyone figure out what the command line should be for a nexus.

i am running cm 5.0.5.3 if it helps any
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloOGB:
"ls" is the same as "dir" in windows. it just lists the content of the directory you changed into with "cd". thats why we need to see the complete output of your console session. that includes your input, the output and the error messages. this is the reason i wanted to see an "ls -al" to see the access rights of that directory. if you dont want us to see the aps than please cut out the names, but leave all dots

this is up till know a purley "linux" problem, we just need the right data.

EDIT: and do an "id" please, just after the ls -al, copy that output as well.
