Hey guys...

I have tried Google and XDA-Search but no luck:D

I wonder if there is a software to adjust the RGB channels and contrast of the HD2 screen... i would like more contrast and more color on my "mutch better than the sucker Iphone" HD2:D

Any ideas:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ragdoll20:
I really dont think such a thing is possible
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] IannEefje:
:( to bad i would be nice...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] C4MP3R:
no help

use registry editor:

HKLM\ControlPanel\Contrast

del all keys

creat new string

Name: Group

Value: 0

reset Phone

go to settings (HD2 go settingscreen and choose more)

go into the folder system and choose contrast...but it will not work :.D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
with this app it will certainly be possible :):

I have a tip. Be patient. Darch has already said that it will be included in his next release which will be very soon. I would just sit back, relax, and wait for Darch to do his thing, because there is no reason to pre-invent the wheel that will be invented very shortly lol

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] musicmama:
Got a Verizon TP2 in March, still using the WinMo 6.1 stock rom. Had an XV6700 and then an SMT5800 (that was a mistake but I digress)

There was a way to use TCPMP and/or MediaPlayer with headphones on the XV6700 and not have the phone ringtone be "active". I can't find that on the TP2. Seems like phone ring is always active unless I have vibrate on, and when I have vibrate on, there's no sound at all.

I'm sure there must be a setting I've missed somewhere? Any help would be much appreciated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GuestK00161:
umm im pretty sure this is not possible on the TP2...other windows mobile phones (non htc) without touchflo-sense can do this...on my Incite running wm6.1 it has an option to turn the ringer off/vibrate while i can still listen to music and etc..

ur guess is as good as mine...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
My lockscreen skin for all resolutions. It's available in GTX and Hero style and compatible with 6.5, 6.5.3, 6.5.5, 6.5.x or whatever you want to call the newer versions with the Start button at the bottom.

Note it's not final, which means the notification sliders have not been skinned, but they'll show up with the default look (so they still work normal).

Update 21 June: Option to display slider on bottom and clock on top added!

Note: The slider isn't shown in the preview but it's there and working.​

Download

For instructions, read the README in the ZIP. The wallpapers you see in the preview are included there as well.

You are not allowed to modify any graphics or other resources that come with this, nor are you allowed to distribute (upload) it anywhere else. Instead, always link to this thread. If you want to cook this into your ROM, you have to ask for explicit permission by posting in this thread with a link to your ROM and give due credit by including a link to this thread. Thanks.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
*reserved*
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jack_Surfer:
You know what.

Put the clock in the bottom part of screen and appointment over it.

So you will not have to change the placing of the clock :)

BTW, I really like your idea of keeping the unlock slider in the upper part, cause it is much more convenient, than the boootm one (simply ergonomic).

Keep going on.
[Windows Mobile Themes] AngryNil:
Looks pretty nice.

You will skin the unlocker, won't you? ;P
[Windows Mobile Themes] abumhmmd1:
GOOD

waiting 4 release

:)​
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Problem is, it does not look as good, and old appointments will show up unless you soft-reset. Anyway I figured it out now, and will write up an explanation later.

Yes, I have. It's released now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
Looking good Livven! Too bad I cant try it :).
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
any chance of porting it to S2U2?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tomanlam:
looking 4ward to a WVGA release!!!:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Versions for other resolutions uploaded (all in one CAB), but as I cannot test them myself please tell me if it works. Thanks.

Actually, I'm switching to S2U2 anyway, so I will make some skins for it. But slightly different as the clock has to be at the top...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Emrulez:
good to hear that, looking forward to it ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Cobra2:
hi nize 1, just tried it out and 4 me it's only partly workin, actually only the slider wich is workin 4 me see screendumb.

installed , softreseted and here is what i got.. Have I missed something :o ?

big thanx
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Strange, did you download the newest version attached to the first post? If yes, could you upload the "LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr" from your \Windows folder?

Anybody else with this issue? Please confirm if the other resolutions are working.
[Windows Mobile Themes] janneman22:
AMAZING!!:D:D. This is the best skin for wp defaults lockscreen:):D:D

i'm switching from the metro skin, but know only the slider is replaced. Can someone provide the original files?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Thesalan:
Same problem for me! I'm on Dutty ML 2.6

This is my "LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr" :
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Should be fixed now. Only WVGA and WQVGA have been affected, other resolutions should have worked fine.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Thesalan:
Sorry, but I still have this problem..
[Windows Mobile Themes] Cobra2:
Hay mate, thanx 4 ur big effort to fix it, but sry 2 bring u the bad news, still same as last, see screenshot in my last post :confused:

Here is mine LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr

Thanx again 4 ur help :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Cobra2:
Soundz GTREAT, can'nt wait 4 the release :D;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Took a look at the MetroLock (which janneman mentioned as working) and found that it copied the LS_LockScene to \Windows\Lockscreen instead of just \Windows, so I duplicated all CPRs to be copied there as well. Please tell me if it works now (there may still be issues with the CPR itself).
[Windows Mobile Themes] Cobra2:
Nize allmost there :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Thanks for your screenshot, it should be fixed now :).
[Windows Mobile Themes] Cobra2:
i'am right on it :D give 2 min 4 the feedback :)

Edit

Works like a charm, and looks amazing :D Awaysome and Big thanx 4 ur BIG offort fixin it mate :):D:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] traianescu:
is it too much if i'am asking you to make one with the slider at the bottom ? :o
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Do you really mean slider at the bottom or, rather, clock at the top? Because it's also possible to make an invisible sldier which sits on the clock.
[Windows Mobile Themes] JJKameR:
I doesn't work at all on wvga devices with wm 6.5.

One installed the lockscreen is reverted to some sort of wm 6.1 type.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Could you uninstall this and upload your original LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr in \Windows (or \Windows\Lockscreen)? Then I could modify that one as I suspect the CPR has been changed in newer 6.5.3 builds from previous versions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] traianescu:
even invisible... or something like a line "__" at least to know where it is

the clock may stay at the bottom... the icons for e'mail, missed calls, sms did u put it already in this lockscreen ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tcchuin:
it's not working for me..i installed the cab,the only things changed is the button of the slider.
[Windows Mobile Themes] laruku:
It's working fine on my device. However, I have questions:

When there are new SMS, the slider icon is back to default one and the clock is disappeared. Is this your intention?

Thank you very much for a gorgeous lock screen. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
It's great.

For me, I'm personally probably going to go with the WP7 suite once it spreads to more apps. So would you consider making a WP7 styled lockscreen?

EDIT: "AM/PM" is overlapped. QVGA, fresh hard reset, default Elf fonts. If you can make it 24HR clock, it would look cleaner.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Okay, I'll perhaps make some variations, like you said. But I can't promise as I'm not using the 6.5 lockscreen anymore (in fact, my current ROM doesn't even have it cooked in).

The notification icons are there and working, they're only not skinned.

Strange. Did you download the latest version? If yes, could you uninstall it and search in your \Windows folder where the LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr (put in your resolution) is located?

The clock always disappears, even without my modification, as far as I can tell. And yes, as I said on the first post, the notification icons are not skinned. If you could make a screenshot showing them then I could do this.

There are alreay some WP7 style lockscreen, but as it's easy enough I think I'll make one. As for the other issues, I forgot to include the fonts, but the new CAB fixes this. And if you want a 24hr clock you have to go to the regional settings and change it there.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Looks great livven! Im going to try it now :)

BTW: I think you meant 1MAY in your title, not 1st march ;p

Regarding the dithering guide, can I suggest another program? I know there is a 16-bit filetype plugin for the freeware photo editor Paint.NET. Simply save the file as a 16-bit PNG / other format, and you can choose the dithering level.
[Windows Mobile Themes] midnitefreakin:
@Livven

yep its dsnt work on wm 6.5 top menu.

Hope u come with some solution soon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Thanks, will do this soon.

Actually, I've been using Paint.NET till a month ago, but then switched to Photoshop and never looked back. But thanks, I didn't know there was something like this, I'll have a look in their forums and see if it works better.

So could you upload your original LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr (put in your resolution), it should be in \Windows or \Windows\Lockscreen? Without it I won't be able to fix it ;).
[Windows Mobile Themes] midnitefreakin:

here it is. I have Asus P527 (240 x 320) phone.

[Windows Mobile Themes] midnitefreakin:

I can't use untill its compatible :'(
[Windows Mobile Themes] iambenz:

[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Are you using WM 6.5 (Start menu at the top), like midnitefreakin? I think I have fixed it now, just download the new 6.5 CAB.
[Windows Mobile Themes] c0rp1:
Any chance of a version with bottom slider and clock on the upper part of the screen, please ?

Nice background, can you share it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zimaia:

[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
How does it behave if you delete the appointment? Does the clock shift to the bottom properly?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zimaia:
Well it is hard to test that because i have a lot of appointments to the next days and i just can't delete them :(

They are professional appointments
[Windows Mobile Themes] JJKameR:
Nope. It's still cutted exactly in the same place.

800x480 is definitely still not working good.

Thanks for your efforts anyway!
[Windows Mobile Themes] kibbbyboi:
lockscreen Infor

I have been think of how we could make these feature more interesting, my thought was if you could integrate the HTC music player to show whats playing on the lock screen by displaying the album art, song title,album and artist may be even including the song periods(time).I still feel that the lock screen should be 1 stop for more inform on your device before you dig down and the lock screen is still empty on most of the roms i have used so far especially on Hd2. i m still learning how to code in c++ i wish i could work with you, i like yo apps man. kip it up
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zimaia:
I fix this problem!!! :)

In the LS_LockScene_480x800 file, Livven forgot to change 640 to 800 in the form dimensions. It's the first line of the file text.

I attach the right file for anyone who have this problem. wvga.

Just unzip and copy to windows/lockscreen folder
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
I completely agree with you, the current lockscreen doesn't display very much information and thus isn't very useful. But, unfortunately, what you said is coding a lockscreen replacement app, which I can't do because I'm not a coder. Maybe S2U2 will suit you.

Thanks a lot man! I had that problem already with the other version but apparently didn't learn from it :o.

New fixed version uploaded, this issue only affected WQVGA/WVGA 6.5 devices.
[Windows Mobile Themes] JJKameR:
That's nice!

It works good.

I dislike the dimension of the appointment text.

It's definitely to big on a 480x800 screen.

Which is the line to change so that I can change it by myself?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zimaia:
This is the part you must edit

<Text ID="Subject" Left="40" Top="148" Width="400" Height="48" FontFamily="Helvetica LT Light" FontSize="11" FontStyle="Bold" Wrap="False" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Middle" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter" Opacity="1.0">

<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetNone" Color="#DDDDDDDD"/>

Change the fontSize
[Windows Mobile Themes] JJKameR:
Thanks!

Now I am damn happy with it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] midnitefreakin:
@ Livven

curtain

Is it supposed to be this way? i thought we would unlock the way we do it on hero by pulling up the bottom curtain. I still have to unlock it the wm6.5 default way like in this screen shot.

can u fix it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ElCondor:
I like the hero style one, looks good!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zimaia:
It is not suposed to be fix because this is a theme for windows default lockscreen.

If you want to slide down the bottom image to unlock them you must go to htc mini lockscreen app.
[Windows Mobile Themes] teorouge:
Thanks Livven, I'm still uncertain about the lockscreen I prefer (HTC's or Sense-integrated like mwalt2's/CHT's): if I should go with HTC's this would be my skinning choice for sure (Hero style), very nice job (as usual, I'd say). Keep rocking dude! :D

ps. how is WM7-style Dialer skinning going on? I'm looking forward to try any release (even WVGA!) for HTC Dialer! ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
I made the font size that big else it would be unreadable on QVGA, but I'm glad you were able to make it suit you. Thanks to Zimaia for support :).

Yep, as said, this is only a skin and thus cannot control the unlock trigger.

Lol, I would've thought you perferred the GTX-style :D.

It should be installable and working now (check the thread), though there are some small glitches I'm aware of and will fix later.
[Windows Mobile Themes] teorouge:
Gonna try the dialer then, thanks! :D

And don't get me wrong, I even betatested the original VGA 2012 version but... it's getting too widespread, not an "alternative" anymore! XD

Would really like to try an inverted-colors-GTX theme sooner or later... I know it wouldn't look just like stock Sense as I read in the forums, base is thousand times sleeker!
[Windows Mobile Themes] JJKameR:
Thanks Livven!

I made some further mod to suit my needs and skinned the long notification slide.

Finally now I have got what I was looking for.

:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] jonas9398:
Hi Livven!

ich habe deinen Lockscreen installiert!

Nachdem ich einen Soft-Reset gemacht habe und den Lockscreen gestartet habe konnte ich nicht mehr auf mein LG KS20 (ich habe es auf Windows Mobile 6.5.3 geflasht) zugreifen. Auch nicht nach einem weiteren Softreset!

Ich sehe nur mein Wallpaper und die obere Leiste, machen kann ich allerdings nichts mehr damit. Ich kann nur die Lautstärke mit meinen Lautstärketasten verändern, aber sonst funktioniert nichts mehr.

Kannst Du mir helfen?

Gruß Jonas9398
[Windows Mobile Themes] ElCondor:
I've been getting a bit tired of GTX to be honest:D. No really, the Hero style one looks great.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Is that clock shift normal or did you modify it that way?

Anyway, did you also arrange the notification sliders? Would you mind sending me your CPR so I can incorporate the changes for all people? That'd be great :).

Was für eine Auflösung hat dein Gerät? Da die CAB nur den Lockscreen verändert müsste nach einem Softreset eigentlich alles funktionieren, solange der Lockscreen nicht aktiviert wird. Vielleicht liegt's an etwas anderem?
[Windows Mobile Themes] PayAndDie:
Hi Livven,

Love your GTX-Style Lockscreen :) it´s really great! Are you intend to make a HD-mini lockscreen with GTX-Style?

cheers
[Windows Mobile Themes] jonas9398:
Mein Gerät hat eine QVGA-Auflösung, ich weiß auch nicht weiter.

Habe jetzt ein Hardreset gemacht, von daher...schade dass es nicht funktioniert hat! Sah nämlich sehr gut aus :)

[Windows Mobile Themes] JJKameR:
I have simply modded the _long sliders and clock/appointment bg and changed slightly all font dimensions to suit better the 800x480 resolution.

I will send to you my personal .cab.

It's not meant to be shared... it's your work mate I have simply modded it to suit my needs. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] chivi:
Nice work dude,thanks.I have two problems,the date and the botom screen is a little bit off.I got wqvga screen 240x400.(Omnia)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Don't know how to skin it, besides there's an official skin from ElCondor.

Ich glaube nicht, dass es daran gelegen hat. Müsste eigentlich unmöglich sein... wenn du grad den Hardreset gemacht hast, könntest du es ja nochmal testen, oder könntest du (ohne meinen Skin zu installieren) die LS_LockScene_240x320.cpr in \Windows oder \Windows\Lockscreen schicken? Vielleicht ist das Format etwas anders.

Thanks man!

So the shift is too much on 6.5... will see if I can fix that sometime. Will check your CAB out, thanks :)!

Do you have an old version installed? Because you don't have the font I included in the newer versions, with that the date should be displayed correctly. As to the other thing from your screenshot, I don't see what's wrong with it. A little distance between clock background and screen edge is intended.
[Windows Mobile Themes] NeoSkYan:
is there a way to have the lockscreen version of the 6.5.3 (slide down version and whitout star menu) on a 6.5 windows mobile?
[Windows Mobile Themes] PayAndDie:
Yes, Livven could you change the position of the slider with the clock?
[Windows Mobile Themes] NeoSkYan:
i'm not talking about the slider position but abut the way to unlock (htc mini style)
[Windows Mobile Themes] PayAndDie:
That would also be great :D I already mentioned it but didn´t get an answer..
[Windows Mobile Themes] c0rp1:
:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
I know what you mean, but it's not possible with the default lockscreen, unfortunately.

Problem is, if the slider sits above the clock, then the notification number would have to be displayed there as well, which wouldn't work well, I guess. Would it be okay if the slider were at the left, to avoid this issue?

Sorry I overlooked your post. Yes, I'll make such a version, but it'll be different as I don't think the current clock background would look good when put on top (like on the attached image). If you like it, though, I can make it anyway ;).
[Windows Mobile Themes] PayAndDie:
No Livven I didn´t mean it like you understood it. I meant it like the picture you attached :D Could you please make such a lockscreen :)?
[Windows Mobile Themes] c0rp1:
Thanks for the reply ... it doesn`t look bad in the screenshot ... maybe best will be the date to be below the clock, but it must be edited a lot, so this way is good enough ... just place the clock and date a little bit up on the screen

Thank you in advanced !!!

Any update on the "slider on the bottom" version ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] skylinepigeon:
Yes please. I love your lockscreen!!! Perhaps you could move the date bar to under the clock!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Before I procceed to make new versions, someone please test the 6.5 CAB on a 6.5.3 ROM to see if it works. If it works new updates will be much easier for me :)!
[Windows Mobile Themes] MusikMonk:
Tried it on the Hermes rom in my siggy and it works fine.

The only thing I care about is that the slider with notifications isn't skinned, and you already mentioned that you knew about that.

I was using your S2U2 with your theme but I don't like how much memory S2U2 takes.
[Windows Mobile Themes] PayAndDie:
Hi Livven,

Yes it works fine. How are you proceeding with changing the places of the clock and slider?
