Hello People, sorry for the bad title i couldn't think of another.

My name is xiq and i've been on this forum since 1-2 years, because I really appreciate the tools etc. =)

I'm looking for a way to make something like a more advanced skin for my wm phone.

I have a Eten M800 with a VGA display (not very good), and a Palm Treo 750 with a square display.

Well i really think that the Treo's not really good dressed with Windows Mobile's Appearance, so i want to make a more standard skin, something very basic.

I thought about something like this:

Home Screen

i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt185/xrlsky/menu.png

Menu Version A

i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt185/xrlsky/menu_alternative.png

Menu Version B

Icons © by "Zerode.com", i just used them for a quick "sketch"

---------------------------

As you can see, it's not really so mad about touch like most projects, i don't want to center on a yank-a-doodle-dandee ;)

Maybe someone want to team up with me?

I'm a experient Designer, as you can see on photobucket,

I'm also the guy behind the XeBoy Advance skin (v0.4 upwards) :)

I'm just not the fittest at programming...

Does any of you guys know of an easier way to realize this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] xiqxiq:
come on people, 200 views and no idea?

FIY, i don't want to find a skin, I want to make one, just a simple clue would be awesome =)

Hello sir my name is not Trekfan422991 but that is my username and i have what you are looking for...

the program you should use to achieve this skin is called

THROTTLE LAUNCHER..

with a little XML. you can design any kind of Theme your little heart can imagine...

this theme you are asking about would be sooooo!! super easy to code....

i can either do the coding for you...

or even some GRaphics ... i am a graphic designer...

take a look at one of the beautiful popular themes i ahve made for peoples phone .....

HERE

i would be happy to partner up with you to bring this theme to your device..!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Trekfan422991:
i realized that your Eten M800 has a joystick and you post says your not looking at the touchscreen aspect of the theme....

so if you want to use the joystick for navigating the theme if i make it in throttle launcher .. will not be possible... you will still need to use the touchscreen to navigate the theme
[Windows Mobile Themes] Senax:
Try ThemeGenCE its great for starters (well I'm still using it :p )
[HD2 General] airwater9:
I've just downloaded the latest version of DVD catalyst (v3.86.2) which includes the following feature as detailed in the changelog and I'm going to check it and report back. There is a trail version that converts 20% of your file or the full version is a paid windows program. I use it and like it http://www.tools4movies.com

DVD Catalyst 3.86.2:

New:

HTC HD2 (and other HTC Windows Mobile) audio-sync workaround added. These phones have hardware problems that causes the audio to not match up to lip-movement. The work-around (Global Settings > Advanced, just enable, and leave it at the default value of 250) puts an adjustment to the audio in the video file, which compensates for the problem the HD2 has.
[HD2 General] airwater9:
I just played my converted files on the HD2 - it works, audio and video are sync'd.

hi , i have ht tytn with windows 6.5 , the problem is that i can`t stop from refresh the wi-fi ... i look in every settings and nothing ... pls help ...

P.s. my front buttons (message, explorer, green key, red key) are not working :confused::(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] hadobac:
I think the problem came from your ROM...

Before I use AT&T official rom (mine is Cingular 8525), only 4 button work... Now I use Windows Mobile 6.1 from CRCs ROM. It's awesome!!!
[Windows Mobile] Kenia1234:
Hello guys...

I have a problem...

now I m developing a ROM with the newest HTC sense and the oldest WM 6.1...

but I suddenly encountered a problem...

Album 3.2 doesn't work...maybe because it's too new for WM 6.1...

so I decided to put Album 3.0 in...

but it causes so strange problems...

the screen becomes totally black after few seconds if I tap on a picture from the photo tab...

if I try to use HTC PhotoPicker which refers to HTC Album...to set Sense background...at first it gives me a normal screen but with the fonts that are actually too small...

and then the screen becomes TOTALLY red!!!!!!!

so I decided to downgrade to Album 2.5...

it works fine...but HTC PhotoPicker doesn't...so the second issue is still present...

Can anybody help me??

Thanks in advance!!

EDIT : Solved by myself...it was an OEM problem!
[Windows Mobile] Psyki:
The red screen is usually due to a mismatched album/media toolkit (htcphotopicker). Make sure the version numbers match between those packages, IE 1922.xxxx album with 1922.xxxx mediatoolkit.
[Windows Mobile] Kenia1234:
Thanks for the quick answer man!!

however YES!!! They come from the SAME stock ROM...1.19 Rhod... :(

Any other suggestion??
[Windows Mobile] Psyki:
Hmmm. I remember back when I was cooking with xboxmod vga rhodium port, the red screen was caused by the wrong htcphotopicker. Maybe try dumping the latest sprint tp rom which has the latest 6.1 sys and use the album from that?
[Windows Mobile] Kenia1234:
Thanks...I'll give a try... :)
[Windows Mobile] Kenia1234:
Doesn't work...I tried the Album from the latest Sprint ROM...

Red Screen appears in the normal album screen too...

not only in HTC Photo picker so... :(

what should I do??
[Windows Mobile] Kenia1234:
Anybody????? :(
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
Flash to a stock ROM and see if you still have the problem. If you do, then it is a hardware issue, if not, then it is in ur pkg. Trial and error....:)
[Windows Mobile] Cloudyfa:
You should try this.
[Windows Mobile] Kenia1234:
You're right! :)

Thanks for the help but it didn't work!!!

I guess it's an incompatibility not depending on album version!

Anybody know anything about this??
[Windows Mobile] Kenia1234:
anybody????? :(
[Hero CDMA General] randomhodge:
Hey everyone,

I just rooted my Hero awhile ago and everything went fine... However, I tried to flash a ROM to it and something seems to have screwed up. It booted once, but it wasn't to the new ROM, it seemed like it was back to factory settings... and now it won't get past the initial HTC logo when I try to boot. I can reach the recovery, but I've tried wiping everything and restoring with Nandroid and still nothing.

I think the problem may be with the wipe. When I wipe data/factory reset, I get "No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext." I'm new at this but I've noticed most ROMs saying that sd-ext needs to be wiped. Is this why I can't boot the phone? Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
Yes, that's way.

You need to wipe the ext partition -- most likely the partition that houses Apps2SD.

**This will ERASE everything on the SD Card. Before trying this, you need to back up your sd card (pictures, music, etc) -- meaning, copying all the stuff from the card onto your Desktop or somewhere on the computer before proceeding to the next step.

To do so; go into recovery and choose:

1. Partition sdcard

2. Partition SD

3. Press Home to confirm

4. Set Swap-size to 0 MB (Use trackball)

5. Set Ext2-size to 0 MB (Use trackball)

6. Fat32-size = Leave that to Remainder

7. Press Home to confirm.

This will FORMAT (erase) everything on your SD card, but not the phone. For good measure, I would wipe your phone and Dalvik once more before flashing the ROM again. After its done, you can reboot, mount your SD Card and copy what you saved to the desktop (or wherever) back onto the SD card.

If you want Apps2SD (I'll presume you have a regular 2 gig SD Card), then after wiping both your phone and Dalvik; you'll need to follow the steps above to wipe the Ext partition, but instead of setting your swap to 0, set it to 128. Then set your Ext2/3/4 to 1 Gig (1024 megabtyes) and leave the Fat32-size as Remainder. For larger cards, you can adjust the Ext/2/3/4 partitions to about half the size of your SD Card. (Ex. 4 gig card; set Ext to 2 gigs, leave Fat32 as remainder).

Good luck.
[Hero CDMA General] randomhodge:
I'm not seeing the partition option, maybe I should've mentioned I'm in Clockwork Mod recovery. Under the partitions menu there is an option to format sdcard, will that have the same effect? I've tried format sd-ext, but of course it didn't work..

Edit: I've reformatted the SD card, but still can't boot, and am still getting the No app2sd partition found error when I select wipe data/factory reset. Is there a way to get to the partition sd option with this Clockwork Mod recovery?
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
Clockwork Mod? Can you please link where you got this? The only recovery ROM's I'm familiar with are RA 1.3.2, 1.5.2, 1.6.2, and Godspeed. I would highly advise installing the latest RA 1.6.2 or Godspeed recovery images, as the advise myself or anyone else gives you will pertain almost always to those recovery images.
[Hero CDMA General] randomhodge:
The tutorial I was using to flash the ROM recommended using an app from the app store called ROM manager, which installed the Clockwork mod. I'm attempting now to get RA 1.6.2 on it instead.

What's the best way to install a new recovery ROM? using this one, I can get connect to the pc and get a command window open, but from there what I'm trying doesn't seem to be working.
[Hero CDMA General] thatdudepoops:
Problems with sd card

this seems like a good place to ask..after trying to flash a new rom(aloysuis) i hung on the black htc screen. i abondoned that card, inserted my old, reflashed fixxxed on there and its fine. i put my other sd card in that wouldnt work, formatted and copied the working card contents back on it. running fixxxedsense my phone upon loading says "sd card removed, Insert a new one. plug it in and it doesnt give me an option to mount, but when im in recovery mode it lets me mount and see all the contents i put on there. Did i ruin my sd card r is there a problem with the partitions maybe?
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
It seems the partitions might be the problem.

**If you don't mind erasing everything on your "broken" sd card, please follow the steps below.

After you've done this; your card will have nothing on it. You should be able to use the card again, I would try using it again and see if you can mount it; both in recovery and in regular phone mode.
[Hero CDMA General] thatdudepoops:
yea i partitioned it, although it doesnt let me set size tho.its says its partition with no errors. it should be partitioned ive used this method every other time...oh im still using ra-heroc-v1.2.3
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
To install a custom recovery image:

1. Download either RA 1.6.2 or Godspeed recovery

2. Copy Recovery Image to your SD Card

3. Boot your phone into recovery mode

4. Plug your phone into your computer

5. Open command prompt and change directory your androidsdk\tools folder

6. Run the following command(s):

adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a (You might get some error messages, [B]keep going[/B])
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
reboot recovery

After the reboot, you should the new recovery image installed.

If you have a SD Card adapter or a card reader that can read mini-sd cards:

1. Plug your sd card into the reader/adapter; then to the computer

2. Right click on the removable drive in My Computer

3. Choose FORMAT

4. Quick Format is fine

5. After it's complete, close the window and test the card again.

If it fails again or gives error messages, you might have a bad card.
[Hero CDMA General] randomhodge:
Okay, got the new recovery, partitioned and wiped everything, and am trying to flash the ROM again. Wish me luck

Okay, now I get past the HTC logo, and it seems to be loading the ROM, then it freezes. I've let it sit for around 5 minutes now with nothing, is this normal for the first load of a ROM or should I try to restore my backed up nandroid?
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
ClockworkMod has a problem with wiping ext. Amon_RA or GodSpeed should work fine.
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
Good luck, report back.
[Hero CDMA General] randomhodge:
Edited the last post, but I'll repost for the new page:

[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
The first boot can take some time. With that said, 5-20 minutes is usually best to give the intitial boot. If it still isn't booting; redownload the ROM and try reflashing.
[Hero CDMA General] thatdudepoops:
ok after trying to put the ne recovey on there i tried to go into the adb shell and it says

[Hero CDMA General] randomhodge:
Up and running! Thanks so much for your help
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
Make sure you have Debugging mode on.

To do this (on the phone):

1. Menu

2. Settings

3. Applications

4. Development

5. Make sure USB Debugging has a check in it

Then run the commands again.

No problem, glad eveything worked out.
[Hero CDMA General] thatdudepoops:
yep its on
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
Are able to run adb commands when your phone is booted into regular phone mode?
[Hero CDMA General] thatdudepoops:
no it still says no devices
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
It seems you might have driver issues.

What OS are you currently running? Also in device manager, do you have a question mark or an exclamation mark by ADB?

Also, have you ever been able to do any adb commands from your computer?
[Hero CDMA General] thatdudepoops:
i had to re install win7 on here cus of admin password issues. Device man does have the ! tried to update driver but it said it couldnt find it. im looking on htc now
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
You can use these Vista drivers (32 bit, I also have 64 bit; but these will work). Make sure you extract the folder first and just leave it on your desktop.

1. Go back into Device Manager and find the ADB driver that has the ! mark

2. Right click, choose update driver

3. Choose the option that will allow you to select your own driver package

4. Point the path to where the driver folder is (the one you just extracted)

5. It should install the My HTC driver successfully.

6. Try running the commands
[Hero CDMA General] thatdudepoops:
ahh, that got me farther

c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell

/ # adb devices

adb devices

/sbin/sh: adb: not found

/ #

shouldnt i be $su?
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
Oh... I see whats happening.

You can't run adb commands inside shell.

You did: adb shell, then tried running adb devices. Once you run the adb shell command, you'll see the # sign; that means your in shell and that you're root. From that point on, you cannot run adb commands, so commands like adb devices won't work; because shell no longer knows how to handle adb commands or what they are. Once you're in shell, you are going to be using Linux commands.

It looks like the drivers worked, so try installing a recovery image again.

1. Download either RA 1.6.2 or Godspeed recovery

2. Copy Recovery Image to your SD Card

3. Boot your phone into recovery mode

4. Plug your phone into your computer

5. Open command prompt and change directory your androidsdk\tools folder

6. Run the following command(s):

adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a (You might get some error messages, keep going)
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
reboot recovery

You should see the new recovery.
[Hero CDMA General] thatdudepoops:
lol ur right! errors in my ways... got it installed as i was reading this. got the 1.6.2 now (carebears really?) now im going to try to partition
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
Awesome! Thanks for being patient and sticking with it! Good work! Yea, the Carebears were funny; but I opted to go with the Godspeed recovery image instead because the kernel for that recovery is overclocked and allows for faster Nandroid backup and restoring.

Good luck with partition you're card; you shouldn't have any problems at all.
[Hero CDMA General] thatdudepoops:
Success! YyEEeaaAA! i partitioned it normally and it still didnt work. so i went back into recovery, partitioned it the way u said with the partition at 0, 0, and remaining, it still showed no sd card when i booted but finally gave me the option to format thru the rom...so now im going to partition it back to 32,512, and remaining and see if its back to normal....:fingers crossed:
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
Awesome. Good luck!
[Hero CDMA General] thatdudepoops:
Success back to a working card! Wish i knew how i did that!

THX Psuedo ur an ace!

EDIT: i know what i did now...i formatted thru vista instead of thru android via phone when i first flashed the new rom this morning...should of had my coffee before even starting this...ive been working on this fix since 10am....its 9 pm now...im going outside to head butt the tree to submission now...ill be back

[Nexus One Accessories] xombe:
I haven't seen too many problems posted about the car dock and I certainly haven't run across this one. So, if you have any suggestions, let me know.

Often times, when I try to use the voice search while docked, I get "Connection Error, Try Again". When it does happen to work, I have to yell in order for the phone to hear me. I am assuming that this is because the receiver is not being routed through the dock's microphone.

Also, when I attempt to play music, sometimes it will play through the dock speaker... but only for a minute or so and then only plays through the phone's speaker. Calls are the same way.

The entire time that the phone is docked the charger is working and the BT connected icon is displayed.

I have done the obvious such as ensuring setting are correct. I have wiped my phone and reinstalled the ROM, CM 5.0.6. multiple times.

Perhaps a hardware issue?

Thanks for any suggestions.
[HD2 General] random_username_:
Every rom i flash works fine but whenever i soft reset it gets stuck at the bootup screen for ever ive tried 3 different roms now. The only way to get it to work again is holding volume down+power and reflashing a new rom. Any ideas on whats wrong?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
first check your radio version is correct, (i.e if you have a 576 enabled rom, make sure the radio is a ..50.. version)

If not that, do a task 29.

thanks, just upgraded radio and its all good now :D

I have a t-mobile touch pro 2 from htc and i dont know if it is GSM or CDMA, how do you check? im a noob at this so i wouldnt know.. Also is living in american version different from overseas version of the phone for t-mobile?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] defaultdotxbe:
t-mobile would be GSM

the US version would be locked to US t-mobile and i dont think you would be able to use it internationally without unlocking first
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pandaxownage:
what do you mean by locked to US t-mobile and for sure it is GSM? dont want to risk bricking my phone :/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kenichi:
That means that you can ONLY use your TP2 on the US T-Mobile Network, unless you unlock the sim. And yes T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 is GSM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pandaxownage:
okay thanks a lot. any advice you guys want to give when you guys were starting off?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
T-Mobile anywhere worldwide is GSM, not CDMA. (Verizon and Sprint...and a few others are CDMA).

However, the version of TP2 released/branded by T-Mobile USA is different -- with somewhat different radio hardware -- than what is used in Europe.

It will definitely work on the EDGE-speed GSM networks in Europe...but not as sure about the 3G-speed bands.

That's not quite true...it's only true if you want to put a non-T-MoUSA sim card in your phone. I've taken my previous (not TP2) T-MoUSA phones to Europe more than once and they work and access the networks fine. It's just that you have to pay international roaming charges...but it definitely works.

T-Mobile international data roaming charges in most places in the GSM world are $15 per megabyte...so that's pretty steep for web browsing, but not bad for mostly-text e-mail which is typically only a few kilobytes per e-mail.

Charges for international voice calls are quite high, too. That's why some people who plan to make local calls -- e.g., to call a Rome number while in Rome -- (or use a lot of data) get a local/European/whatever sim card...and that's the situation for which you need to have the sim-unlock done.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Run these two cabs (I also recommend running and archiving all cabs you use, in a folder on your SD card)....they're the official "welcome basket" for all new TP2 owners :)

Together they help clear up memory management issues the TP2 has, which you would see the negative effects of rather quickly.

The first one turns off internet pre-caching (a waste of resources with little or no benefit), and the second one lets the phone free up memory better when apps are done using it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pandaxownage:
i am currently using clean ram should i delete that?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Nope, that's just one more tool that can help, it just may not need to lend as much of a hand after you run those.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
If you got the phone directly from HTC, it is probably the international verson that works with the European T-Mobile high speed network. Does the box it came in say "T-Mobile" or "HTC"?

But it is definitely GSM.

Is it unlocked?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pandaxownage:
it came in the t-mobile box. what do you mean by unlocked?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
altered at the firmware level to allow it to work with sim cards from other carriers. It's something you have to do or pay somebody to do for you, so if you did neither, then it's still "sim-locked"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pandaxownage:
yeah its locked :X
