Overview

Resco Contact Manager is a paid application incorporating contacts, calls, and text messages into a finger friendly interface. Further information and a trial download are available from the Resco website:

http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/contactmanager/

Resco CM only detects skins packaged in the .rpk format. All credit to Krank_01 of the pdaprime forums for posting the SkinMaker tool that is documented and attached here. You will need a Windows computer to run the tool.

http://forum.pdaprime.ru/index.php?showtopic=47279

This thread is a "guide for dummies" as to how to use the SkinMaker to package and unpackage skin files. I hope it will provide fellow users with alternative skins (GTX anyone?) for a fantastic app.

Obtaining a base theme

Download Resco CM SkinMaker.zip, attached at the bottom of this post (or click here). Unzip the archive and open it. You will find the SkinMaker, which consists of three files. RescoCMSkinMaker.exe is the main executable, which you will not have to independently run. pack.bat and unpack.bat are the tools you will run, which execute a command with the SkinMaker program.

The easiest way to start skinning is to start off with a base theme - and there aren't many available, so I'd recommend to use a default Resco theme. Navigate to the installation directory of Resco CM on your phone and open the skin folder. Here you will find the .rpk file(s). Copy a skin file into the same folder as the SkinMaker, and if necessary rename it to default.rpk.

Run unpack.bat to extract the skin into a skin.conf and a skin folder. I'm not too sure what the function of the .conf file is, though I believe all skinning can be done without touching it.

Skinning

If you open up the skin folder, you will find a collection of .png images and a .skn file. The images are the graphics used in the skin - to keep things simple, replace them as they are named and sized. The .skn file can be opened up with Notepad, and is formatted as HTML code. Here you can manipulate colours, file names, and objects.

Packaging and loading

You will need to package your edited theme to load it in Resco CM. Place both skin folder and skin.conf in the SkinMaker folder, and run pack.bat. This will package your theme into NewSkin.rpk. Navigate to the installation directory of Resco CM on your phone, and drop the file into the skin folder. You should now be able to load your theme under Options (note that 96dpi devices will not detect 192dpi themes and vice versa).

New Skin

Just played around with the original Black Skin and removed the mail button.
[Windows Mobile Themes] WoodbineG:
This is so awesome! You have no idea :D Also a great tutorial for idiots like me :o

Do you happen to know if there is something like this available for Resco Explorer, Keyboard Pro, and Photo Manager? :confused:

Thanks a lot.
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
I believe there is skinning for Resco Explorer and Keyboard Pro, not sure if a simple guide is written up though. Uncertain about Photo Manager, though that's a good point - it's a fantastic piece of software.

Sorry that I haven't contributed to the skinning, been busy. Hope to get at least something out soon. We should rally some troops to skin this program, IMO it keeps the older WMs alive!

Why doesn't the gallery organize photos by date? They all seem to be put randomly in the camera album
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Happened on the Nexus One. Try a reboot. Should fix
[Nexus S General] elkavayo:
Unfortunately a reboot did not fix it for me. It's pretty weird, as the order is not random, it just doesn't make any sense.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Like the thumbnails are different, and then when you go into the picture it changes to what it is... Right? It could be something as simple as the thumbnails made for that specific picture were misplaced by the system on accident. I don't know, I thought a reboot fixed it, but I have the same issue and I thought that fixed it for me, but it still remains.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
If thumbnails are the problem you could try clearing the cache on the Gallery app in Settings/Applications/Manage apps.

Also, you could delete all the thumbnail files in the /sdcard/dcim/.thumbnails folder. They should regenerate next time you reboot the phone, or remount the sdcard to the phone (after usb disconnect).

This worked. I did both and then rebooted. Awesome. Gotta love android.

Yes, new pictures disappear for me as well.

There are a slew of bugs with Gingerbread (ringtone changing randomly is another one that constantly reoccurs).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
heya fellas

question here is with all the lagfixes/kernals

is everybody happy with how fast/reliable the phone is ?

im mainly a tester and was happy since i wont keep a single setup for more than a few days, and since my latest setup,in my situation all it takes is a week and the lag is back ....

wether i was OC'd or not the lag is haunting my phone T_T

current setup is darkys v7 rom and SO 4_5_3 kernal with 1.4mhz set on boot

1 week of normal use with 80 apps installed and lag ranges from 1-8 secs wether it was moving between homescreens/app pages in menu/call log/msgs

last lagfix i was completly happy with was longback when i was on voodoo and OCLF on top of it. i remember the phone was seriously blazing fast like it had everything done before i asked for it, and that setup only lasted a month or so before froyo was out.

i sound like an old hag complaining but seriously who out there is very pleased with a certain setup? anything yall recommend?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QwertyManiac:
I'm on Darky's 7.0 JPY (Have been on Darky's ROMs since 5.1) without a lagfix and the phone is snappy fast, as are all apps I use (about 4 pages of them). Haven't seen it lag in weeks.

Do you face a lag after you launch up multiple apps? Or generally from boot onwards itself?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
from boot i know its the media scanner taking over 100% of the cpu

clearing ram clears most of the lag but i notice the crazy lag whenever i have any amount of available ram of 80mb and less

mainly ram jumps between 130mb and 60mb from what i see

got a few widgets to monitor ram/cpu/temp/battery/ and the control widget with 3g/wifi/bluetooth/data/gps/brightness/media scan/reboot and a black background

trying to maintain a small amount of widgets to keep free ram available, pretty much doing my best
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QwertyManiac:
I use Autokiller Memory Optimizer with an Aggressive preset, it helps keep multi-task going smooth (Usually have 130~ MB free with it running). Have you tried that application?

Likewise no lag at all .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Most lag comes from bad app.

The only on i can't get lagfree is twlauncher. So i use golauncher instead. I don't se any lag.

I also use ext2 file system.

This with my kernel.

Im happy with this lagfix and i don't think it will be laggy over time.

**Using my own JPX kernel, z4mod, 345MB Ram and ext2 filesystem**
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auzy:
Whilst it never really bothered me in 2.2, in JPX/2.2.1, honestly, I'm not running any hacks. I seriously haven't seen any remotely long stalls anymore. Also, all OS's stall, it isn't only because of "bad apps"; it can also happen when swapping and such. We really don't know enough about the lag problem to say where most lag comes from.

Since JPX also introduces over the air updates (one major flaw with earlier firmwares), if the GPS turns out to perform like fitness-grade GPS (I still need to test that), I'll be extremely happy. But no longer entirely dissatisfied. Taking GPS out of the equation though, I am now happier than I've ever been. If Samsung frees up more RAM, I might even start overlook the GPS problems.

After I test GPS, I'll know for sure.

(PS, I don't use any lag optimisations, because I don't feel they solve the problem properly).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Did you read what this tread was.about?

I can also say with lagfix the phone is better then stock. The latest firmware did alot for the lag, but it still things to do.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
thanx for all the suggestions fellas

just reverted back to 2.2 (missing darkys already T_T)

will test it out n check how things go

first things first gps surely seems worse than darkys rom for some reason (could it be the modem file ?)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystycs:
So what exactly is the correct way to recondition your battery after installing a new rom? I have been following the Bionix version of recondition below

1. Charge phone completely, leave plugged into power

2. Boot into recovery

3. Wipe battery stats

4. Reboot

5. Remove power cable

6. Drain that sucker all the way

7. Recharge fully

But i see there is some discussion on the proper way, and this one ruining your battery life. What is the actual correct way then?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtiryan:
That's the method I used a few weeks ago. Can't say there was any noticeable improvement, but I've never read that it was the wrong way....

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystycs:
So in all essence... Dont do it! Haha then what is the point of wipe battery stats? Should i still at least wipe it at 100 percent after its charged, and then just use it normally.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T313C0mun1s7:
The "point" of it is just to get the software to know the upper and lower limits of the battery to it can more accurately determine its current level. It learns the battery level and becomes more accurate over time, but many here flash new ROMs too frequently for it to get the chance. Just use your phone and don't worry about the battery, you will be fine. Leave it on all the time, even at night. Charge it when ever you are idle for any length of time and over night. You can not over charge it and it does not have a memory, but you can certainly shorten its lifespan by deep cycling it. If you think the battery meter is really way off what it should be then clear it first thing in the morning after it has been charging. Also, don't be surprised if you rarely or never see 100%. This is the normal way the charger keeps heat buildup from killing the battery. 97% to 99% after a charge is fine.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr67:
Thanks T313C0mun1s7, that's the most sensible advice about the battery I've read in awhile.
[General Questions and Answers] Shidell:
I've written a utility called "Car Kit" and I'm working on ensuring it's compatible with all devices.

I can't see it in the market running an early version of CM7, which has me concerned that other users might not see it either.

If you don't mind, can you please simply search for "Car Kit" and let me know whether or not you find it?

Especially appreciated of users on 1.6 and/or small screens.

Thank you.

Can anyone on 1.6 confirm?
[Wildfire Android Development] xelasha:
I'm currently running SUnAaBh.v.1.1 and my phone is rooted.

Where can I get the latest official HTC ROM and how do I apply it on a rooted phone? I noticed that in the directories of shipped-roms.com there is Buzz and a few WWE selections but they were pre-dated before 2.2 release so I wasn't too sure about them.

Please Advise.
[Wildfire Android Development] :
I strongly suggest remain rooted. If you install something from shipped-roms, you will lose root. See wildpuzzle thread if danne cooks a rom based on a newer ota.
[Wildfire Android Development] xelasha:
I always manage to get problems with cooked ROMs :S

Performance or usability issues or otherwise which is why I'm looking for an official ROM. The only problem I have with my current branded ROM is all the useless applications which are unremovable. They only lead to links to the carriers websites for other useless crap.

I don't really care about Root, I haven't personally found much use for it.
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
If you are sure you dont require root anymore, get the RUU from here:

Thank you 3xeno. Sorry if I seem lazy/stupid I just did not think any of this was available in the development section, I thought it was all cooked ROMS :S. I just installed the rooted version of this and it seems to be working okay.

Well what are some of the big advantages of Root? I've been advised by a friend not to unroot as well, so I'm taking this into consideration and hearing what you guys have to say.

Hello

I was uninstalling a few system application, I also uninstalled "LG Home" application. Now I know that it is the most required application :)

My phone is on. I can charge it, recieve calls, connect to wifi. Its only that LG Home is missing because of which I can't navigate through the phone.

Can you'll please help me restore it.

I have already tried hard reset. I can't flash it as latest application is not downloadable using this link
[Optimus One, P500, V General] socialdistortion:
The links are working fine here. You will have to download your regions firmware and also the KDZ updater to install it.

Alternatively if you have access to market, then download launcher pro to replace the LG launcher (it's the best IMO)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zecanilis:
You have to copy to system/app LGhome again.

I tried it was giving me forbidden error for india. Though I could download UK firmware. Anyways luckily LG released an update for P500 yesterday & I was uable to update it using LGMobile Update.

My god, it one piece of a buggy software. It crashed while updating my phone. My phone was showing in Imergency Mode. I had to remove battery to boot it. When I booted it was working fine & showed the latested firmware.

I have downloaded it will try for few days before discarding LG Home again :)

You can compile the cyanogenmod source. The build version is CM7 RC0.

Just look at the nexus one forum, full of cm7 nag-bang roms.

Its really not that hard to compile...I was just about to now that I see it works. I was doing it on my N1 for personal use (crack-fiend nightlies lol), and now that I have my Inc, I'm doing the same.

[Droid Incredible General] Mr. Rager:
Hi all! New to the forum, but not android in general. And am eager to dive into the clockwork behind this phone, and what makes it tick. Also, on the wife's Aria.

Anyway, I've had android power for about a year and have known about the Cyanogenmod rom since cm5. And judging on how much buzz there was around cm6 coming out, it seems to me we would've heard a little more about cm7 being released til now, IMO. Now, I may be wrong, and if so I apologize, but I think the main man himself would've waited til a stable RC, then come out with it across the board, not a nightly "progress" build so everyone can flash into a bootloop. That's what rom manager pro is for!

Besides, tonight is the first time I've heard of cm7. I may be way over the line, I apologize in advance. After we all do have opinions...
[Droid Incredible General] wdfowty:
There is a difference between compiling the most recent source code on github (RC0), and an official release. Anyone can compile, but only the CM team can release stable RCs (RC1 and up) and final builds.

CM7 isn't really CyanogenMod yet, as we know it on CM6. All of the little goodies are yet to be merged, it's mostly just an effort to get supported devices stable at Gingerbread. I'm running it on my nexus, and it's pretty sweet.
[Droid Incredible General] Mr. Rager:
Oh, I understand. I knew I should've kept my mouth shut, lol. Nevertheless, I'm not flashing any gingerbread til its further along, I.e. optimizing not stabilizing. Who knows when that'll be though. I think I'll just wait til it officially drops.

There's no gps in the nook, therefore no navigation.
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
Yeah, I think when Maps gets your location, it's using location services, but since there's no GPS chip in the Nook, Navigation won't play nice. Even if it would run off of non-GPS location data, it'd likely be choppy, inconsistent, and not what anybody expects out of Navigation.
