[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TeNsTrKe15:
right clicking and opening does not work either. this xap i would like so i can change my tiles to navy/dark blue http://bit.ly/fJOgsE
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] __ow:
I can finally confirm! Third party silverlight apps use \Windows\0nmm_ThemeResources.xaml and \Windows\0nmm_System.Windows.xaml, where n and mm corresponds to the background and accent numbers, respectively, that you find in the registry, for their XAML resources. And just like with the registry part you can add files other than the pre-existing ones.

So if you want to complete your accent color pickers, this is where it's done. xxxx_ThemeResources.xaml defines the PhoneAccentColor resource. Ought to be possible on HTCs and LGs atleast.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ft55555:
Nobody cares about possibly having transparent tiles?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] davux:
What is the use? There's nothing behind them - just black or white.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ft55555:
There could be way. Has anybody looked into it?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Muzzy777:
yea. i've been looking for the same thing.

but i did figure out using the reg editor how to change the color of a couple other basic things.

Reg Editor>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Control Panel>Themes>1 or 0 (1 being dark bkgd., 0 being white)>

now here's where it gets weird. certain color codes work. certain ones don't

currently i have #FFACFF06 set for "TextNeutralColor" and "ContrastColor"

so far what i can tell is it changes the color of your list, status bar, menu pop up at the bottom, passcode entry, some of the text when playing zune music, and a couple other things. I'm no dev, and this is about as far as I got with it, but I haven't seen anything posted as far as doing anything like this, so I figured i'd put it up and let you guys do with it what you will.

oh, and this was done on a samsung focus
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Muzzy777:
nvm, there's the pics :-)

and here's one more. if you edit the "Chrome Color" it changes the background of your keypad for pass entry, keyboard, and other notification popups. here's purple.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Marvin_S:
yeah I tried this. If you set the alpha channel to 00 instead of ff it will have the same colour as the office tile colour instead of being a black tile or whatever colour you set it will be always dark gray.

So im not really transparant, just the stock gray.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Slicerwolf:
Does that mean I have to change the Magenta theme to say Pink? Never mind I dont need to do anything.

Hey guys, is there a way to get multiple colours for the accents without hacking the phone? Has anyone created an app? The only reason why I don't want to hack is because it voids the warrrenty.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Petulinek:

Its not true, your ROM is fully unlocked.

im on hd2 running bttfv2.1 and no its not fully unlocked'

i dont even have root accsess!

and thare are 2 versions of advanced config 1.5.0.0

wich one are you trying?

the one that installs in system settings or the apps?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Petulinek:
I had HD2 with V2 and it was fully unlocked, V2.1 is unlocked too.

Mango devices V2 (Radar, Titan) can have only Chevron, developer or student unlock for XAP installation, its not for CAB installation or registry editing...

- Root, chevron and unlock features already in and reaplied after an update
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jackrabbit72380:
yes but its not fully unlocked! its diffrent! and is a diffrent method!

I personaly dont feal like explaneing all the technical details but thare are 3 diffrent types of unlocks!

and bttfv2.1 dose not have all of them.

I do not have full root only part and do not have full accsess to all files and folders. xbmod is aware of how & why and is curently woking on a fix! as far as I know!

mb someone else will provide you with more acurate information!

However hd20 & pdaimagejam's roms are fully unlocked as far as I know!

we are totaly off topic hear!

I have wright all 154 colors in to system registry and sent to xbmod wich he made a .cab of and sent back I updated my phone with it and it works well

along with other system tweeks from advanced config all that can be done with it has been implemented in to the system it self making advanced config useless!

everythang can be done fine through registry!

I just started cooking my self so expect good thangs!

Has anyone made any progress on adding Accent Colours, Theme Colours, and Theme XAML Files?

I am now on an HTC Titan
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Dudubai:
kind of smashed the system

Hello,

i was happily trying some casual code-colors on my optimus 7 (through root tool kit registry editor) when i choose a "bad" color, with an out of range number (?). Initlially it worked out and appeared an orange colour on my tiles. Pushing home button the phone get blocked. Rebooted, it launches windows logo and shows a couple of icon on notification bar, but does not complete the system boot. And i can do nothing - ie changing back to a standard colour. Any ideas for recover the phone, ie modifying the registry via pc? Pluging the usb cable to pc the phone is recognised an zune is launched, but zune does not "see" the phone.

Any ideas will be much appreciated. I'd like not to reset the phone (hoping this would work at least).

Thanks

Solved with a cold boot (factory reset).

Hope my sad story will help someone preventing from messing up like me.

Will spent next hours for reconfiguring everything.

I try to cook a ROM for my phone.

Sometimes, when I received a call, my phone show me "pc_capture4" (photo3) then when I answer, show me "pc_capture5" (photo1), without "Send Text" like in photo "pc_capture3" (photo4).

I want to show me permanent "pc_capture3" (photo4) when I received a call and when I answer I want to show me "pc_capture6 (photo2)".Never show me "Unlock" button.

How to modify this from registry? Why happen this? What's wrong?
[Touch2 General] bilbaro:
Responsable for this is Locksreen software. Remove Lockscreen and never block "Send Text". Install S2U2. Is very usefull.

Hi there, yes I know, there are some threads about this, but nothing special about our HTC LEGEND...

Somebody tried to install a custom splash-screen?

Or somebody created a custom-splash screen for HTC Legend?

I´ve found a tool for G1, that creates a splash-screen, but I don´t know if it works on my Legend... Don´t wanna brick it
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Romca:
TheGrammarFreak created one from my bootanimation, see HERE

As for myself I have no idea howto ;)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGrammarFreak:
Get the image you want. It needs to be 320 pixels wide and 480 high. Save it out as a 24 bit bmp file called splash1 (ms paint does the job). Any name will do, but for the sake of this guide we'll use that.

Download this tool and extract it into a known directory. Put the bmp you created earlier in there. Open cmd (if you're on windows) and cd into that directory (cd C:\nbimg for example) then run this command:

nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 320 -h 480

Take the output file and change the extension to .img

To install:

Reboot your phone to fastboot mode

fastboot flash splash1 C:\nbimg\splash1.img

Linux users…

For those of you who use Linux:

1.: Download View attachment 479724, and extract it somewhere convenient.

2.: Create an image in GIMP with the dimensions 320x480. (You may also use an image from the web, and resize it to 320x480 in GIMP.)

3.: In GIMP go to "Save As…" (or press "CTRL+SHIFT+s").

4.: Browse to where you extracted the script.

5.: Click "Select File Type (By Extension)".

6.: Scroll down and select "Windows BMP image".

7:: Name the file "splash1" (without ""), for your own convenience.

8.: Click "Advanced Options".

9.: Choose "24 Bits" - "R8 G8 B8".

10.: Click "Save".

11.: Open a "Terminal" (Either with "Applications>Accessories>Terminal" or with "CTRL+ALT+t").

12.: "cd" to the folder where you extracted the script and saved your image. (For example: "cd ~/Downloads".)

13.: Write "./splash1script splash1.bmp".

14.: Follow the instructions in "Terminal".

15.: Done.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravrahn:
I can't get it to flash - it isn't finding my device when it's in fastboot, only when it's in recovery mode, or just on.

I've flashed AlphaRev and it created the .raw65 image successfully, but my device isn't recognised by the script, nor by the adb, when it's in fastboot mode.

Even booting into recovery, starting an adb shell, and using 'reboot bootloader' just disconnects the device. I have no idea how to fix it.

I'm using the linux tool on Ubuntu btw, and I've definitely flashed to the bootloader before (can't remember what, though)

sending 'splash1' (300 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.126s]

didn't work for me either - probably the htcdev unlock didn't include s-off for splash1?!

The HTC bootloader unlcock method sucks. It allows nothing except writing direcrly to the system. It even checks for signatures when using fastboot from the Android SDK. At least I get signature error when trying to flash a .img file thru fastboot.

WARNING FLASHING RADIO.IMG IS RISKY

PLEASE READ FULLY ALL OF POST 1 BEFORE ATTEMPTING THE FLASH AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOT EVERYTHING REQUIRED ASWELL AS HAVING A ROOTED RADIO S-OFF AND ENG S-OFF THEN CAREFULLY FOLLOW GUIDE AND DO STEP BY STEP DO NOT RUSH YOU DO NOT WANT AN EXPENSIVE PAPER WEIGHT

Nice guide! Actually with the tool you linked you will get Radio S-OFF, but as you mentioned, the phone must also have ENG S-OFF (second link in my sig) :)

And one should really just add the C:\androidsdk\tools after everything in path, otherwise something really important might stop working.

No, not yet at least. Don't know why really, I just remember reading it wasn't possible. Once you've got your SDK setup and got your radio s-off and eng hboot, there really is nothing to doing it this way though.

Still just hangs on <Waiting For Device>

ADB picks up my device though "/
[Desire HD Android Development] agentxq49:
ok, waiting for device is cause its waiting for your device to be in 'fastboot'.

when you first checked your device being connected, its when its on, and in 'charge only mode'. you type "adb devices" to check if your device has any driver problems.

next you turn your device off, take out batt (some may need like me), and boot into recovery with pressing the on button and the volume down button. go into fast boot. (Note: now, when you type adb devices, nothing will come up, but no worries, the computer has the tools necessary and is able to connect to it via fastboot."

now you do your fastboot commands and it should detect. cheers!
