OK, I think it's all sorted now.

I have attached an update for creating the .acet files. This version now sets the resolution in the header.

Just enter the path to any image file (I actually only tested with png and bmp's.

DON'T use quotation marks for the path!!! Just enter it as is.

After that enter the path (without quotes but including the filename) to the destination acet file. This will not overwrite a file - it'll just crash if the file exists :o

When I get some time I'll integrate this with the viewer if it proves useful, but at the moment it's just a very crude tool to get the job done. DONE

The viewer is also attached - just open an acet file and then you can export it if you want (to bmp or png).

OK. I couldn't live with a dodgy instable command line tool ;)

I've attached a single .exe. You can open an acet file or a png or bmp and you can export to all of these formats too. Should make it a bit easier.

This requires .Net 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 (if your running vista or Win7 you're already sorted).

UPDATED: I Updated the tool to deal with some of the alpha files. You need to make sure you tick the Alpha box before exporting an acet file if you need the alpha channel. The exported acet file is reloaded after exporting so you'll see if the alpha is missing.

When an acet file is opened the info text at the top will show the filename with either (RGB) or (ARGB) depending on whether the image has an alpha channel.

You can also change the background color so that semi-transparent images are easier to see.

UPDATE: The .acet converter can now be found here:

mmmm - it looks like I do need some help with those headers....

the header is 24bytes I dunno what I was on before :)

The bytes are groups of 4 like I said before (16bit integers)

Group 1 - dunno, seems to always be 0x0100

Group 2 - width in pixels

Group 3 - height in pixels

Group 4 - this is a bit of a mystery but I'm pretty sure its the image format. I've seen 0 (seems to be images with alpha - e.g. TS backgound), The normal bmp style info always has a 1 here, there are also values of 5, and 6 popping up occasionally that have a format that I haven't figured out yet (the alpha blend overlayed on the timescape navigation at the bottom have 5 here).

Group 5 - seems to always be 0

Group 6 - for formats 0 and 1 this seems to always be 1, for the other formats sometimes 7, sometimes 9 and maybe some other values...

Anyone got any ideas??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kiltaiga:
good job guys !
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
Thanks :)

@all

I have just tried to overwrite the Timescape background but it didn't seem to work - probably has something to do with the timescape themes.

I tried to update ts_bg_app.acet with the new version of the tool for dealing with the alpha channels.

I'm pretty sure timescape overlays an almost completely transparent image over the theme background. The theme background is then shifted constantly to the left. If you look closely you will see that some parts of the image do not move. These correspond pretty well with the image in ts_bg_app.acet and ts_bg_home.acet.

I'll check it out again when I get some time but I have to make sure I don't lose my job ;)

I had another look at the headers and still can't really figure out the other formats. I'm pretty sure the problem files are all just the partially transparent white overlays in timescape (e.g. pagination_area.acet contains the white lines at the top and bottom of the pager in timescape). Here'S the info for pagination_area.acet in case someone can figure it out. The image size and number of bytes has got me a bit stumped as I know this image has an alpha channel.

0x0100

0x01E0 (480)

0x0040 (64)

0x0005

0x0000

0x0009

Byte count = 20552 including the 24byte header (20528 without)

Size: 480 x 64 = 30720 pixels

Any ideas?

is there a way to modify the acoustic of mediascape ? and remove the playnow completely ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Chewitt:
Yep, its already built in,

On the My Music home press menu then un tick the online service box.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
That goes a bit beyond changing a few resource files. If this isn't possible at the moment then our only hope is to wait for the Q3/Q4 update or use another media player.

I actually don't use mediascape or timescape. I use RockPlayer and DoubleTwist (although that doesn't have an equalizer either, but the sound's decent and I like the widget - mediascape was just too hard to use in the car). As for timescape - no chance until the complete call log and gmail are shown...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] JamesBarnes:
calum, could you zip the appropriate files for me to look at? All the timescape media files would be great (BG/wallpapers etc) I dont have any to play with so i can only go from the info you supplied at the moment :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
James,

Here's all the files from system\usr\semc\seee\files
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] JamesBarnes:
Much appreciated, ill get back to you with anything i find :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MarylandCookie:
Maybe you could remove the phonebook dependency and vice versa ;) ...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
OK, I've been digging a bit more but have run out of time for the moment...

I found some acet files in the assets folder in the timescape themes (e.g. app\TimescapeThemeOrange\assets). I replaced the ts_bg_app.acet with a black image and this is what came out...

Looks pretty funky, but once we've sorted out the tiling we should be able to theme timescape as well.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] JamesBarnes:
I didnt want to post earlier cos i had nothing concrete, but then it occured to me brainstorming is good :)

The file size for pagination_area is almost exactly 2/3 of what you would expect for a pure alpha overlay of that size (assuming an 8bit resolution i tried the numbers with shorter pixels but no joy).

If you take a close look at some of the Alpha files they appear to be dithered, so if we assume that they have dithered every 3rd pixel then the number of bytes required to represent that is exactly the size of the file (- the header) + 48 bytes. Now bear in mind that the width of the file is 480 pixels....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
I was thinking along those lines too, but couldn't get anything to work. I've attached the pagination_area.acet file after processing. I used a single byte for alpha and set R,G and B to 0. I then just replicated the second byte for a third pixel. The transparent and black bands are 6 pixels wide...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] naveen_reloaded:
no meant to say remove all links within mediascape ..so that it might be little faster and also is there away to make "NOW PLAYING " to appear on all tabs...

actually we used to do it in old SE ... if u see SE-nse forum , we have loadsof mods with acoustic...

also i saw a thread here about changing the equalizer ( inbuilt ) .. may be we can change a little and pump up volume and add few effects ...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Chewitt:
yeah it will be possible just not via these files
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] naveen_reloaded:
so these are layout related ? if so can we make flash background ? like we have in ps3 ? it would be cpu intensive but would look great
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
If I sort out modifying the afx files then we should be able to do that - depending on where the animation logic comes from. It may only be possible to change what moves from left to right.

I'm getting closer though - the background is sorted - need to sort out the alpha overlays and the afx files now...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
Deleted. See next post.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
OK, google turned up a heap more on afx files once I added 'java animation' ;)

I guess I know where to start now...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gavriel18:
Thank you very much for your effort!!! :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
No worries :)

Here's the progress. I can't alter the afx files as I want yet, but I did some nasty byte replacement to change the color... :p
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
After playing around again I decided to repost the animation code. I can pretty much mess with the numbers as much as I want. I just have trouble removing or adding code. I have changed the color of the wave and the pitch (e.g. changing pos.y *= 15.0 to pos.y *= 55.0). If anyone knows an easy way to edit the afx files directly please let me know (I'm pretty new to java, the only animation work I have done was all high level Silverlight and WPF stuff). If not then I'll just keep working on a byte replacement editor, so we can update the animation with any code we want... I hope ;)

Having a nightmare with the backgrounds - I just can't quite seem to get them right (my photoshop skills leave a bit to be desired).

Seeing as you've done the mediascape pages :) can you send me the background acet files for app and home for each color (a dark red would be nice as well ;) ). You can go as light as you want with the white. The tile background will provide enough contrast for the text, and you already know where the pagination icons are :)

Then I tried to do a full wipe , Again The phone works great and then I turned it off and then turn it back on and again stucked on HTC screen ...

What I do not understand is why the phone worked great until I turned it off and then turn it back on .. and why it's happens to me just with this rom .. LeeDroid with A2SD+ working for me great !!

But why everything work great on leedroid and on this rom it's stuck on HTC screen **in first boot everything works great ! just after 2nd boot it stuck on HTC screen ? Should I need to check if the rom works on my 4GB ? Or I nedd to format the 16GB ?

I have the same card in my Desire and I also have issues with it.

1) It's not a class-10 card..

2) It randomly acts as if it's been removed from my Desire when I've had certain applications open for long periods of time (EZCam)

3) Some reboots I get SD-Card Damaged causing me to turn off, remove card, plug back in et-voila, it works.

4) GRRR.

My conclusion; send it back as faulty/not as advertised

If they want proof, download SD Card Speed Tester from the market and take screenshots of it performing like ****.

Hi,

I dont know what happened but since this afternoon (no matter how many times I perform a soft reset) sense is unable to start. I cant even navigate my phone. however I can still send and recieve calls but that's it.

Does anybody know what caused this? Although I install various software on an regular basis I'f never flashed the standard ROM.

Can you please tell me how to perform a hard-reset if software doesn't allow me to?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] p107r0:
quote from the manual:

"To perform a hard reset

1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the END/POWER button shortly and release it. You will then see this message on the screen.

This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.

2. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.

3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset"

However before you do that, you could try disabling sense + soft reset + enabling sense -> this helped me few times when my sense wouldn't start.

The question is can you get to Start Menu / Settings? or - if not - does your ActiveSync work?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Shum97:
Some info from the Htc website..

Performing a Factory/Hard Reset You can return your phone to its original state, as it was when it left the factory. This is also called a hard reset. You might want to do this if you are giving your phone to a friend or relative and you want to remove all your data first, or if your phone has a persistent problem that is not solved by powering off the phone and then powering it on again.

A factory reset is a drastic measure. It permanently erases all your personal data and customized settings, and also removes any programs you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the information and files you want to keep. For information about ways of backing up your phone, see the following topics:

Synchronizing With Outlook on Your Computer

Backing Up Your Phone Using Microsoft My Phone

Performing a factory reset via settings

The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.

On the Home screen's Settings tab, tap Menu > All Settings > System > Clear Storage.

Enter 1234.

Tap YES to perform the reset, or tap NO to cancel the reset.

Performing a factory reset using phone buttons

If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using buttons on the phone.

With your phone powered off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.

While holding the volume buttons, press the END/POWER button briefly and then release it.

When you see a warning message on screen, release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.

Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dub027:
...The answer is: No...I'll try your manual quote tnx...

Yes Activesync still works...

Tnx guys but no luck, when phone is off and I hold the volume buttons then briefly tap power button the damn thing turns on...the the whole crap starts all over again...nothing works except sending and recieving calls...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] p107r0:
ok, before you attempt to loose all your data, try copying unpacking the attached file to your Windows folder - it can be done with ActiveSync,

if I did not screw up, once the file is copied there, long-press of phone button should bring the today settings, where you can try to disable sense, and see what happens then...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Righard:
WTF... Same here... Turning the phone on this afternoon, suddenly Sense does not want to start anymore... No mather how many times I try!!!

one more (sad) reason for investing in good backup app, be it SPB, Sprite, Resco or whatever...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dub027:
Agree 100%. I backup regularly but now I cant even hard-reset so that's not my problem.

Until now a hard reset always worked. Putting your (p107r0) file in the windows folder at least gave me the uportunity to disable sense and grand me access to the settings. But the touch screen seems to suffer from this virus too...when I try to purge my stored info (entering 1234) the keyboard shows what key I press but the number doesnt appear in the textbar...

Even trying to install a cab doesnt work. I can find everything on the phone but tapping does nothing...

I'm very close to flushing the phone down the toilet or something...
