Bug

Hello im using v 2.1 and i still have the typo clock bug in both version in the white clock and in the black clock now will show you what i mean :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] sweetbinodray:

you have to do soft reset to your mobile. then install SPB 3.5.5 then this new monster it will work fine.

[W]VGA backgrounds pack added in Post#3
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Download the cab again from the first post and reinstall. I fixed the Digital typoclock graphic errors for white and black after I released 2.1 so the version in the first post has the new fixes.

Or you can download the attached file, unzip and copy across to your spb mobile shell foler, then soft reset or restart mobile shell from the manager :)

This is for [W]VGA only!!

Thank you very very MUCH

P.S Miskip can i read somehwere how to make Widgets ?! Im asking you because maybe you know where i can find the tut i want to create widget for missed calls and sms to mach my other style or can you just tell me witch files in your Theme are for the Missed Calls and SMS so i can chek them out and try to make one new by myself, Thank you

I tried this but it still fails. Please help. I had DRIOD Pro earlier which was running great.

Theres no problem with the cab it must be a corruption in the download. Try the new mirrors Doc added this morning.

[Windows Mobile Themes] sweetbinodray:
Hey Prasad,

I am talking about Soft reset. backup you data and go to setting=system=Clear Storage. It will reset your Device to factory mode now install SPb 3.5.5 and then this V2.1 theme. it will work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] shhbz:
if u do a hard reset u lose all other installed appication so before doing that first exit spb mobile shell. then conect your phone with usb to pc and uninstall SPB from windows mobile device center application .

then soft reset connect again.

remove all earlier droid version if u have installed PREVIOUSLY then soft reset

install spb fresh soft reset then install droid pro 2.1 .

DONE!
[Windows Mobile Themes] tsalta:
this is Hard Reset
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The status widgets (sms, missed calls, email and voicemail) are in the va_status_widget.dat file. as long as you keep the images roughly the same size then you should be able to just edit that file.

You can open the dat file using winzip and the password is b0fm18zq. There are 2 files that need editing. The status.bmp file has 2 sets of images, the right side is shown when there is no alert and the left side is shown when you get a message or missed call. It needs to be saved as a 16bit RGB file (R5G6B5) and as far as I know only photoshop and Gimp (free program) can handle that file type.

The mask (_m) image is the transparency layer of the main image. Anything in white will make the respective part of the main image solid and anything black will make the main image transparent, with the gradient in between determining the amount of transparency applied to the main image. If you look at the 2 images in the dat file im sure you will soon work it out. The mask image needs to be saved as 8bit greyscale.

There is also and index.xml file in every dat file which holds the information for the widget such as the location and opacity of the text counter (for status widgets) or position of the widget. If you dont want an indicator on your widget then you dont need to edit this as Doc zeroed all values in the status widget.

Make sure that if you add files into the dat file to use the password b0fm18zq or it wont work.

Hope this helps, if you need more info just let me know. This is basically the same format for all widget (weather, clocks, batterys) it just varies a bit from widget to widget. If you make anything that you want to share I can turn post2 into an extras post :D

hey there!

I'm testing it since yesterday and I have to say on mi i8000 it's a ram devouer, at the end of the day i've got only 15 to 20mb free.. (with titanium normally i've got 55 to 60mb free)

and like others said, I don't like that wifi and sound profile widgets having the same background cause I can't put them on the same line without looking ugly.

except these two things the theme is very cool ;D
[Windows Mobile Themes] prasadedla:
Still doesn't work :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Spb Mobile Shell itself has many memory leaks and while we try to fix as much as possible its never going to be perfect. Sad but its a fact..

I mentioned yesterday that I will look at the profile widgets to try and make then universal in appearance (if possible) but im going to work on my background changer app first so it wont be for a few days.

MArk.
[Windows Mobile Themes] shhbz:
prasad which way u followed to work it out. if its not working still then i suppose you can now try for a hard reset and then install spb and droid which was suggested earlier.

As my point was to save you from losing your installed application but remember hard reset will erase all your data so backup before doing eg.contacts,sms etc
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
What exactly have you tried so far? Have you redownload the cab from todays added mirrors? Are you installing to DEVICE memory? Tell me the file size of your cab so I can check its the same size as the source. Also I always advise to start with a totally fresh install of mobile shell to have the best chance of success.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] shhbz:
mark i believe you are going to teach us the way to have different background in carousel view lifestyle panel,time,agenda,weather condition,weather,contacts ,spb menu etc

if it is possible and mark 1 request can we get a background file in 240 x 320 resolution i.e. Background.dat and qa_fundotela.dat as in 240 x 400 res background the image doesnt fill in complete in qvga phone

1 more thing how is it possible to show a video showing how flawlessly droid 2 works in qvga phone since i dont want to capture using handycam is there a way to get my screen connected to my pc and then use a software to capture

thanks

i will provide screenshot if possible
[Windows Mobile Themes] prasadedla:
So far...

Hi,

I had DROID Pro earlier. I uninstalled that, soft reset, uninstall SPB, softreset, install SPB, softreset, install DROID Pro+ and it fails. :( I have downloaded the cab from the mediafire mirror created today and I am installing the theme on fresh SPB installation (3.5.5) to device memory. The cab file size is 7,003,528 bytes. Please let me know if I am missing something.

Thanks

Prasad
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
You want a background.dat and a fundotela file for QVGA resolution?

The only way I know to make a vid through the pc is to use mymobiler but its very slow framerate and doesnt look that good.

Just remember that after I release the background changer app, each different image will consume about 300k on your device memory so having a different background on each screen will kill all your internal memory. You will also need to copy all the fundotela files to your storage card so they can be selected and renamed for mobile shell to use.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I changed the download link for [W]QVGA to 4shared which is a very stable and respected file sharing site. The download size should be 6,828KB (6,991,022bytes in the file properties) so I think your download was corrupted somewhere.

Download again from 4shared and verify the correct file size before installing. Install on a fresh version of Spb Mobile Shell 3.5.5 to DEVICE memory and let me know how it goes.

MArk.
[Windows Mobile Themes] prasadedla:
Thanks Mark...Downloading right away.

thanks for your response mark

background.dat and qa_fundotela.dat if you can provide me in 240 x320 res that would be it then i can modify my background using it in photoshop.

I was even thinking of putting in an animated gif background in home screen of spb is that possible

i dont know its not rotating but the gif file when i configure with s2u2 it rotate and it looks more awesome

thanks once again
[Windows Mobile Themes] prasadedla:
Still doesn't work. I think I'll have to hard reset :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] TMinh:
Thanks for your reply :) I try all files from every mirror, but all of them have the same isue. I then try to install Droid Pro 1 again, and this time Droid Pro 1 also fail to install :| I think it OS's problem, so I try some other cab and all are ok !

Anyway, I managed to install Droid Pro 2 by using the installer of SKTool (it's in Cab Manager section of SKTool, and choose Install with SKTool).

This theme is awesome ! I really like it ! Doc and Mark, you both are masters in SPB MS skinning ! Thank you so much ! I'm now enjoying your theme :D

Fix files only request v2.1 vga device

@Doc or Mskip

Please provide files only that fix bugs.

i dont want to install v2.1 because i have same modifi of v2 installed on my device

Your theme is wonderfull, like it very much.

thank a lot for your theme
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
There are alot of fixes that was made to v2 including files that need the install script to register them properly so im afraid a fix update cant be made.

If you already have set up yor layouts then copy the droidproplusmanager.mscr that is provided in the first post to fix the backup utility, then make a backup of your screens. You can then uninstall v2 and install v2.1, restore your backups and everything will be up to date.

MArk.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I really dont know why its not working. Sometimes cabs have a better chance of installing if you attempt it as soon as windows boots up (before doing anything else on the phone). You could also try sktool which is a free trial program (google it) and use the cab manager to install Droid Pro+. A hard reset would be your absolute last option. It has been installed successfully on hundreds of devices so im pretty sure its not a bug in the cab.

MArk.
[Windows Mobile Themes] shhbz:
thanks doc and mskip i just created a new background for expressing my thanks to you both
[Windows Mobile Themes] dizipia:
Ok Mark, i understand that v2.1 impact the registry so I must install v2.1 replacing v2.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dizipia:
About background....

@Mskip again

are you planing to make background changer? is that for prfscreen or lifestyle screen or both or for all spb ms page?

in my case have installed v2 and use standard spb ms for change background of prfscreen without problem and without background refresh
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
A background changer is only required for the professional screen and other spb screens such as time, agenda, carousel, etc. On the Lifestyle screen you can change the background easily from the menu using a jpg file so a background changer isnt needed but on the other screens the only option spb gives you is to change the theme colour, by default you cant use a picture at all.

How to change SPB background

Hi I thought of uploading a video showing how to change your background in spb mobile shell since,many had problems creating their own.

Thanks to doc and mskip for Droid pro +2.1 and for the guide which doc provided in post 4 which encouraged me to make my own background.Sorry for my low voice in video as it was 4 in the night when i screened it.

Note: I am providing two file WVGA/ QVGA Background file which i created which would fit the screen perfectly.CHOOSE ACCORDINGLY You can use the file to create your own background.

Preview screens to show its working.

Hey Doc & mskip

First of all, I wanna say Thx for new Droid Theme. Looks awesome...

There is one small thing I want to change/fix as you can see I've marked it in red.

When I press on the cross, it shifts a little bit to the left

Can u tell me guys, which .dat file I need to search for to edit it by myself.

Using WQVGA Version.

GoodMonk ;)

Edit: I found it...qa_misc_nowVAdv2_menubar4.dat
[Windows Mobile Themes] mwalt2:
I changed the following in DroidProPlusManager.mscr with the same results (I also tried HelveticaNeueOTS, which is included in htcfontlink)

SetChoiceEntryFormat (30, 14, Tahoma)

It works fine with the following:

SetChoiceEntryFormat (30, 14)

This is how I have seen a few mscr's that configure settings like this done before (though I only looked at a couple).

It may just be something particular with what I cook in my ROM since I haven't seen it reported (at least not since the wvga release). Thanks for helping, but it's really a non-issue for me by just removing it in the mortscript.

I have the ARIAL font issue... I can see the font at Windows directory but "fonts" directory is empty..!

The weird part is everything were fine at first installation. I uninstalled and reinstalled few minutes later... Now I have the font issue, guessing the cab overwrote something that can't be recovered just unistalling.

Anybody with a cab installer for the arial font?

Browse to the program files\spb mobile shell folder and open the file DroidProPlusManager.mscr with a text editor in windows. On line 20 you will see the text SetChoiceEntryFormat (30, 14, arial), change this to SetChoiceEntryFormat (30, 14) then save it and run the manager again to see if it looks ok.

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Funnily enough I fixed this last night for my own personal use lol.

Download the attached file then rename from .zip to .dat and copy across to your spb mobile shell folder. Soft reset or restart the shell using the ProPlusManager.

EDIT: Ok I see someone already beat me to it lol. My one has the black lines above the digits fixed and the alarm text is moved into the space above the date and also shortened so that when no alarms are set it doesnt move everything across too much. See which one you prefer :)

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mwalt2:
You can just extract the wvga weather tab icons. Then take Weather.bmp and Weather_m.bmp and replace the ones in the qvga mobilesense_weather_icons_xxx.zip. The wvga size for _250 is 158x4898, _140 is 110x3410, and _82 is 66x2046. Doc already did all of the hard work creating the bmp's.

Since I've already done this, I'll attach it and share them here. Copy the 3 .zip's inside of the attached '(w)vga sense weather icons single.zip' to \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\MobileSense. You may want to back up the 3 .zip's already there so you can easily restore the default ones if you wish.
