Oh **** ... it didnt get in ....
sorry folk i forgot to zip it up before attaching.
there you go ...
btw ... i'm already using the hack ... no side effects at all ... just a more beautiful screen !!!!
Tis is how i got the numbers
16 bit = 64K = 65536 colors
1 bit = 65536/64 = 1024 colors
18 bit = 262K = 268288 colors (262 X 1024)
Does it work for Blue Angels
Re: Does it work on Blue Angels ?
The answer is "YES !"
I am using a Blue Angel with This Hack and I'm very happy about the result !!!
Try .... If u wanna revert just jot down the values so u can key them back in.
I never thot it was possible but by heaven's will I chanced upon the genius who discovered it .... i lost the link but lucky i saved it as mht. file.
Now i want u all Blue Angels out there to have the same beautiful screen i am enjoying !!!
Cheers Mates
One for all and all for One !!!
Danger !
Please don't try going above resolutions more than 18 Bit
Although it is possible to do it ... there's no guarantee that the hardware can support resolutions that high .... if your pixels start dying it's your own fault.
18 Bit is safe and good enough .... don't kill the screen by overdosing it !!!

Would someone be kind enough to post a guide on how to do this in their own words?
I've tried both apps suggested and also replaced the files but nothing seems to work.
ozVGA's files already exist in /windows and wont let me overwrite them, and when I start up SE_VGA it opens a dialog box without any text and when you close it the closes the app.

I agree with Biohead, instead of reading long info from the link on you rar file, why don't you just give us step by step how you make it worked on yours.
TX
here it goes .....
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\Active\Built In LCD
In "LCDcolors" Enter Decimal Value 268288
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\Citizen
In "CxScreen" Enter Hexadecimal Value 30
In "CyScreen" Enter Hexadecimal Value 30
Install OzVGA
These are the settings I use ...
ozVGA
MEnu&Bar Font 650 (Checked)
System Font 700 (Checked)
Hor. Scrollbar 10
Ver. Scrollbar 10
Min Scrl Thumb 10
Fonts Arrays :
SEvga : 500,600,650,800,1000
SEvga : 750,900,975,1200,1500
oz=SE* Ratio 2
Soft Reset
Goto Start/Settings/System/Screen
Set the font size to (Smallest)
As has already been pointed out, a lot of applications don't take into account the system-level font sizes in the Registry. Also, the vast majority of them doesn't check for the actual size of the screen to give you exactly the same view in VGA and in QVGA. (The most notable exception is the excellent document reader application, µBook , which offers the same resolution in both QVGA and VGA modes.)
View the screenshots below for an idea of wat it'll look like.
:shock: Can Someone please tell me why my screenshots don't show up in this page ?????

Today Screen
hardware?
friends, do our blueangels' lcd hardware support that resolution? Or is it just a programm tweak and is not a real resolution enhance?
i have no idea at all whether the hardware supports the resolution ... but the OS definitely allows for different resolutions.
Does anyone have any idea how to check if it is real ???
The only way i know how is to compare the same screen with same brightness settings against another device which is 18bit screen ... like the BenQ P50.
If anyone can do it ... please post your findings Thanks
I can only afford 1 device ... I am Poor
Thanks for the setp by step info...Iam going to try it...so it is safe to modify all the setting right?
yes it is absolutely safe ... just remember your original settings so you can key them back in if you want.
Hi Ivan, I have try it, not working so good, and the text are mixed up, even after changing the setting to the smallest, and the resolution remain the same, yes I follow your step by step, Thanks anyway.
Oh dear ... Sorry about that ... But the prospect of having an 18bit resolution blue angel would really have been a dream cum true ...
I'll experiment some other settings and post it for u guys can try ...
Will it work with a Blueangel running WM5?
Thanks.
I got no Guts to flash my ROM ... So I dunnoe if it work on WM5
But it seems quite safe to change the values back and forth ... it only affects how your screen displays stuff ... if you don't like still can go back to original settings ... I'm still experimenting
Need someone with WM5 to have the guts to try it and tell us his views.
I'll do it, but someone will REALLY have to create a really basic guide. I've never really gotten into modifying the Windows Mobile thing so I'm not 100% whether I'm doing it right.
If someone creates a 100% step by step guide then I'dbe more than happy to try it out. I understand WHAT I have to do, its just HOW to do it.
Hi guys! just wondering if there is a reg tweak so i can get the time as well as the date on the date today plugin. it does it on some ROMs so i know its possible, just doesnt do it on my current one (DuttyThroy Ultra Ultra Lite). I have read through the wiki but to no avail!

You can find the TodayAgenda very ussefull, and the LVMDate too, but try to do a little bit research before, and ask in the right forum, this one is related to WM6 only...
Regards.
They are both extra programs which i dont see the need to install seeing as it is possible to do it with what must be a reg tweak (Black RC does it, Schaps latest etc).
And it is the place for this question seeing as its WM6 related!!!!
Oh and i have researched a lot before asking. Believe me, i know how certain members treat noobs that ask b4 looking and i dont want to be set on fire!!
Thanks for your suggestions though dude!!

If you only want the tweak, try with the Advanced Configuration Tool from Schaps.
You can find the tweak in the Hermes Registry Wiki too...
Regards.
I dont think u understand what i mean, i want time and date on the date plugin NOT the top bar which is what Schaps AC does. I have checked the Hermes Reg Tweak guide and again it is the same thing.
If u click on the link for Today Agenda above and go to screenshots, u see what i mean. The very top plugin on the today screen has date on the left of plugin and time on the right.
And with Black X RC it had both time and date on the today plugin even when i switched it to UK region settings.
I have attached a screen of what i mean
What you're searching for would appear to be the TodayTime plugin, available here. Back in my Wizard daze many cooks would include it in their ROM kitchens, not so much with the Hermes cooks.
And I disagree, this has nothing to do with WM6.

I really understand you, man...
If you take a look at the Schaps tools options, you'll find one called "Single line date plugin"...this is the one helps you. Also, Schaps tool allows you to change much things...
And in the Wiki page there's one tweak for this too...
Today Date Plugin on a single line
Add this registry setting to get the date todayplugin back on one line.
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today]
"AutoSingleLineDatePlugin" = dword:00000001
Regards.
lol! i want the TIME on the same line as the date? where does the reg tweak do this? all it does is put all the date on ONE LINE!!! i want to ADD the TIME to the line whereas default is just the DATE

With my knowloedge you can't add time and date in one line today plugin with OS default plus any tweak...
But you can do with LVWDate or TodayAgenda...yes, i know you must install it, but you can't get all...
Good luck.
ok dude, thanks for you time!!
Happy new year everyone,
since yesterday I am the proud owner of my Touch HD (enough sentimentalies). I am just getting all the software/tweaks together search through this forum.
For some reason I have not come across the following:
A software, that keeps track of my monthly used minutes, SMS and most important - since I don't have a flatrate - the data volume loaded through 3G (or everything that is not WiFi).
I did find LCMinutes 1.54, but I didn't see anything about data volume in there.
Any recommendations ? (aside from "get a flatrate" )
Oh look, some glasses also might do the trick. In the Wiki I found GPRSTrafficMonitor: (Commercial) and SPB GPRS Monitor (Commercial, $20, 15 day trial). So, I would need to rephrase my request. Anything that can do all three things and is for free? "Das geht nun wirklich nicht..." <- German referrence to famouse KinderSurprise ad
Thanks alot!
A great program to monitor 3g data, USB data, bluetooth data is SPB Wireless Monitor!
try Chi-Tai's Homescreen ++
http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_im_cs.htm
Hello all friend,
I checked it yesterday! Homescreen (old Batterystatus) works great with HD , BUT you MUST use it on Second today plugin or you must deactivate TouchFlo3D.
(It is not working with TouchFlo3D but you already know that. Well i didn't so ).

Yes, I took this freeware too. It can do a lot things more, but I use it only for counting minutes, Data and SMS . It´s very usefull an tiny at the (second-)today-screen. Only one line and you can switch between Date, Calls and SMS with tapping on this line

how do you use it in second today plug in? is this software?
Thanks for all your suggestions.
I have now used the combination of Homescreen ++ (thanks wildx) and Second today (thanks brandon7gr). It now seems to work like a charm.
Second today is just another regular .cab file that install on the device.
I will have to take a closer look at the accuracy but I guess even a rough idea where I stand will do the trick.
Cheers,

Check with your service provider as they might already offer this service to you free of charge in the way of a text message request or voice spoken ....some networks offer this service....please dont ask me how as this is network dependant so you best enquire with your network service provider....it wont hurt to ask them...good luck

You google for and install "SecondToday" then you will see a shortcut in your start menu for it and it runs another today screen as an app instead of a "true" today screen. The advantage is that you can run Manilla and map a softkey to SecondToday which will run all of your older Today plugins.

Can anyone tell me if there's a freeware/shareware plug-in/app that will just monitor the data traffic, without all the other extra bits of Homescreen++ ??

Hi PPC mages, I've got a small problem. I've tried to search a very easy program which resembles the classic paper diary.
Idea of this soft.. Screen which has seven parts (basically days). Every Day should have a date and maybe names (because of name days). Into these "tabs" I need only to write. Not ringing, no pop-ups, no vibrations, nothing, just type on keyboard. Don't know if I'm able to write about my idea in english so imagine one list of the simplest diary and you'll got sense of my idea.
My question is simple.. Does this soft (or very similar) exist? Or can it be programmed by any good man/woman? I think it would't be so hard and I will be very grateful for that.
Remember I don't want any calendar - am owner of Calendar touch and it isn't the way of annotation I want.
Thanks for reading and especially for answers!
Hmm... Excel?
Great idea but not as elegant as simple software..
I'm not sure exactly what you want, but have a look at Phatnotes:
http://www.phatware.com/index.php?q=product/details/phatnotes/screenshots
This is very customizable and will let you have a blank page per day with buttons for seven days and weeks.
Perhaps this works for you ?
If you were Japanase I would strongly recommand this one : http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=41640
Reading the translated doc, I could configure it easily, and even if there are some display bugs due to japanase font replaced by squares, the result is quite usable and simple.
I dream that someone makes the same in english, french.
Thanks for tips, now I'm going to try the first one (hope it wouldnt be hard to cutomize it). The second one doesn't seem to be just diary, it is very similar to normal calendar. I'm surprised that the sipliest normal diary doesn't exist, but maybe someone will find anything.
Thans again!
Unluckily it wasn't what I need, but thanks..
I've made a very simple picture to explain my idea when my english isn't so good .
http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e249/Sean880/Diary.jpg
This is a basic idea of appearance. And functions?
1) Slide to right/left - go to next/previous week (princip of book)
2) Type into the lines (maybe with possibility to set up the font - color?/bold/italic)
3) Possibility to change names in any system file (depend on country) - it makes easy future translations
4) Next features - changing colors based on days etc.
I'm completely amateur so I don't know anything about software making but I still think this software wouldn't be so hard to develop, am I right?
Thanks for reflections!
Hmm it seems that similar program doesn't exist but would it be really hard to develop it?
Hi, first post here. I finally replaced my 6 year old iPAQ 2210/2215 with an HTC Touch Pro 2 a couple of days ago. I'd appreciate advice on a few points please. Hope it's OK to raise multiple topics like this? I also posted to HTC forum yesterday but so far no replies.
1. I make/receive relatively few mobile phone calls so I prefer to use the TP2 in a rather similar mode to previously. IOW, more as a Pocket PC than a phone. Am I right that the Today screen cannot co-exist simultaneously with TouchFlo3D - it's one or the other?
2. Assuming that's the case, is there some way I can quickly restore the TouchFlo UI when I do need it? Or must I go through Settings > Today > Items and re-check that box (losing all my other checkmarks)?
3. I can get to most of the TouchFlo features anyway from the Today screen. But one at least has defeated me: that nice Weather program, which I like a lot. Any suggestions on how to build a shortcut to it please, even if not with the fancy animation?
4. I'm concerned to maximise battery life. I can turn off WiFi and Blutetooth. Is it possible to turn off GPS when I'm not using it?
5. I've so far not found a built-in backup tool (like iPAQ Backup). Is there one, or must I use a 3rd party tool like Sprite Backup?
6. Is there an executable somewhere on my TP2 that will rotate the screen please? When I add Pocket Plus to my Today screen, that has such a toggle tool under one of its tabs. But, despite having only just paid for Pocket Plus (which I've happily used for years on the 2210/15), I don't think I'm going to get on with this latest version, so I need an alternative rotate tool.
Sorry for what's turned out to be a rather long first post!

1. Completely right, but you can use SecondToday (freeware) as a shortcut to the "old" today screen.
2. See 1
3. Stay with the Today screen in combination with secondtoday
4. No, you cannot turn off the GPS, but what helps a lot is to put the band of the telephone fixed to GPRS, not UMTS/3G/HSDPA. That saves your battery a lot.
5. No there isn't, you must look for Sprite, SPB or sunnysoft backup.
6. Try Flip-it, it works automatically with your Gsensor. Otherwise look for Gyrator or ChangeScreen
Hopes it gets you going
Re backup software. dotfred.net's pimbackup is a handy tool to transfer personal info and can be scheduled.
I am using Second Today.. works great!! love it!! Just like you, can't live without the WM today screen.
Thanks all, appreciate the replies so far. Will try SecondToday. I'm still experimenting with Today plug-ins such as Pocket Plus and PocketBreeze.
I have another query but will post separately about it as it's an application problem.

Just to add.
GPS is turned off all the time unless an application is polling it.
So unless you leave the GPS test,GPSToday, Google Maps, Tomtom, iGo or whatever running, it will be off.

Thanks labbbby, that's good to learn. My main app is Memory-Map, which I use for planning walks (hikes) and recording them etc. On a 6 mile walk the other day I was a bit disappointed to find that my battery was down to about 50%. So extrapolating to a full day's trek (say 12-15 miles) it would be on the limit. Reckon I'll have to invest in a spare.

Try a search on SecondToday for other download sites, maybe you where unfortunate to get a faulty install file...
Hi,
- I would advice you to use TouchFloDetacher, works better than mToday or SecondToday AND it has an easy softkey changer so you can switch easily between TF and Today
- My favorite weatherplugin: WeatherBugDirect_PPC_VGA. Works great but maybe not fancy enough (?)
- Rotators enough: there is a cab somewhere on this forum that does it by changing some reg setting: is better because all the others (i think) are separate programs that need to be running in the background using up mem!
hope this helps a bit ... (still a TP2 beginner myself)

I feel I must correct others:
4.- yes, GPS is switched automatically off when no program listens to the virtual COM port that they see (the driver monitors it), and started when a program connects to it.
It is also switched off in suspend mode, if you would like to log track with PPC "off" - see my program at www.madhacker.org that changes the way the driver behaves.

Ron: Turned out to be down to my stupidity. I tried to execute SecondToday.CAB from my PC! Installed OK of course when done properly from Resco File Explorer on the TP2.
But can you help me get it working please? I first ran the CAB while in TouchFlo mode. Should I then see any evidence of it on the main screen (purple, with large digital clock)? I didn't see anything obvious so went to All Programs. There I found 3 relevant entries:
SToday Quit
SToday Settings
Second Today
I clicked the last and got an empty Today screen, with the left softkey 'Calendar' and no softkey on the right. I clicked that blank area anyway, as I couldn't find anything else, but that gave the error message "This file cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found..."
That mention of a trusted certificate is puzzling. When installing from the PC desktop I've been getting an alert about that and clicking Yes to proceed. But when installing from this SecondToday.CAB that didn't happen.

Thanks Curehead. Not sure if you've seen my reply to Ron about SecondToday, but I'm having the same frustration with TouchFloDetacher! I'm sure it will turn out to be down to some basic mistake on my part.
I ran TFDetacher.CAB in Resco File Explorer while TouchFlo was on. Then, as I couldn't see any more direct way, in All Programs I found 'Hide TouchFlo' and clicked it. That gave me the error message "Unable to find TouchFlo Detacher Service". I also tried re-installing when in Today mode, but got into a similar mess there too.

AlCapone: Many thanks, I've duly installed GPSTweaker.exe which sounds exactly what I need!
If I've understood correctly this means that while using Memory-Map to record my walks I will be able to switch off (suspend) my TP2 to minimise use of the battery, yes? But I'm not clear how Mem-Map will still be tracking while the TP2 is suspended? Unless it does, there's not much point keeping GPS running?

Ron,
I started with Gyrator but I'm totally baffled as to how to set it up. I read earlier in an article about it something to the effect that "Install the MS.NET stuff and the CAB and it just works." Not here it doesn't.
After reset I got a sort of setup screen I didn't really follow so I opened the 'Events' window only to get a complex settings window that meant nothing to me. I'm not normally this dense! Is it meant to be understandable by mere end users rather than programmers/developers?
Is there a reasonably simple step-by-step on how to set it up you can point me to please?
I was hoping for a program that would simply install itself and then either automatically rotate every screen or let me do so at the tap of a command.
I'll try Flip-It now.
Edit:
Gave up on Gyrator and didn't try Flip It following further study. But instead I'm pleased to report that late last night I eventually got ChangeScreen working. The only one I found comprehensible!
BTW, its default was set not to rotate TouchFlo screens, so I had to change that. Why would that not be generally regarded as desirable please?
