I have bought the MDA Pro from T-Mobile. They have changed the phone-interface to a pretty ugly pink-gray branded t-mobile interface.
is there a chance to get rid of this without unlocking the phone?
does it vanisch by unlocking it?
any clue?
thanks!
dont know tmobile but if it's a today theme then you can just change it in system->today
and not the only thing unlock does is make it possible for people to use any sim in their phone unlocking dont change installed programs or settings
i have tried that already, but it seems as if the phone skin is locked by t-mobile somehow. i have already tried to upload different skins, but it always remains the same.
I suggest the phone skin is part of the t-mobile branding an can only be removed by unlocking the phone...
or by replacing it manually, but i have no clue how to do that.
if it's only the phone skin and not the pda skin then use the skin chooser here
http://www.yorch.net/apps.htm
if it's the whole pda then you can
1 remove the today items from tmobile
in the 2th tab in system today items
2 remove any tmobile ref from the \windows\startup dir
Hi !
Can you please tell me if the size of the "Z" key is the same as the "Y" key. I want a german version but i want to switch the letters afterwards.
Thanks.
to decebal:
yes the buttons have the same size.
to Rudegar:
I have already tried to change the skin with skin chooser 7 and
some other programs (have forgotten their names) but as i I "activate" or "applie" the new skin it always shows the phone with its old t-mobile skin. Nothing happens....
It is also impossible to remove the today theme, because the delete button is not clickable and i cannot finde the *.tsk file anywhere.
there is also no startup.dir or any file/folder that sounds like im on the right way.
At least I have now found (i think so) some of the *.pngs containig the button grafics. i will try to replace them with my own buttons...
They are in the windows folder called indialer_xxx
(e.g.: indialer_ps.png)
If there are any better suggestions i am very happy, otherwise i will have to change each button by hand (sounds a bit cheesy)
we will see if that may work.
hehe...should have thought about that before....the phone images are *.bmps, so i was able to change them manually with photoshop, but i can't upload them because the files are protected (or still in use by the phone in background). so now I have very cool buttons, but the only thing I can do with them is pin them on my wall
so there must be another more professional way, but I have no idea wich.
maybe you have some suggestions...
sometimes you need to softreset your phone after having used the skinchooser program maybe that helps
odd if you dont have a dir in the windows dir called startup
all pocketpc's i've seen have that
guess you could also unlock and unhide the external rom and remove the tmobile stuff you dont want
i've used that skin chooser device on both 2002 and 2003 but non of the later versions...
i would load another rom in it
I would if I could find out how this works on the new windows mobile 5.0...
if you know where I could find some reference for it it I would be greatful.
maybe its just to early to ask for such things, in a few month there will be lots of stuff in the net.
patience was never my strong side though.
how what works on 2005 ?
phone skin choosing ?
buzzdev.net is a good place to check out if you want 2005
if you install 2005 you will not see special odd tmobile colouring anymore
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.
hello to all
I installed Orange Homescreen on my WM5 blue-angel.
It it by far the cleanest plug-in I've ever used! Two problems though:
1. The URLs seem to be hard coded - anyway of changing that?
2. On the contacts "tab" there is an option for speed dial, but it generates an error when I try to use it - is there some other CAB I need to install?
Thank you!
Hi AdmiralAK,
I love the Orange today plugin too, but have had a lot of trouble installing it on the other Rom's for my Universal. Can you tell which files you used to install it :?:
As for the problems your having:
1. The URL's can be changed by editing the Full_one.xml file.
But your still limited to four.
2. In the Orange Rom, some of the files have a lower case t prefix.
Try changing renaming your speed dial executable. It might work :wink:
Thanks!
I downloaded the homescreen cab from somewhere on this board (this was a few days ago so I am not completely sure). I found two versions. One was in the ftp://xda-developers.com/Universal/Extended_ROMs/Orange Extended ROM/
(this one I did not install because I had the otherone already installed)
(ok after a little looking I found it)
I am actually using the Orange Homescreen from the Orange SPV M3100 (hermes device) - this is the one that is installed on my Blue angel and it works without a problem. --> I am attaching it.
(I apologize to the forum for postnig the same file again - I cannot find the link to it)
----
As for the speed dialer - I don't think I have the application installed on my blue angel (I am using the 1.3beta rom from HELMI and I don't seem to be able to find it) in my device - any idea where to get it?
Also, is the XML file that I need to edit in the windows/ directory?
Thanks
google tells me that the full_one.xml file is in my windows directory...but I dont see it :-/
The CAB from the Orange Ext ROM is just the reg settings, its no good without the files from the Orange ROM.
I'll try the file you posted this weekend [if I get the chance] :?
Yes, the XML file is in the Windows folder.
It works inconjuction with the HomeScreen.dll, with some icons stored in contactsico.dll.
I've added these files and the prefixed t files from the Windows folder of my Universal, I hope they're useful.
Have you tried the file ?
Hmm.. performing back up now.. and going to try it out. Hope it is easy to uninstall.
[UPDATE]
Ok, tested out the plugin. It is a nice plugin. Make your phone more like a phone than a PDA. It gives you one hand operation by using the direction buttons, making calls and stuff. However, since it will disable all other plugins, I won't recommend others whom uses Today calendar plugins such as Pocket Breeze, TodayAgenda, TodayPlus, etc.. to use this orange plugin. Uninstall is easy.
Screen shot of it here http://www.coolsmartphone.com/article569.html
under the section `INSIDE`. It is the same for smart phone and pda phone. You will see all the options available. And the 'Today' option actually sends you to the (built in) Calendar day view.
Hi, have you used the cab file and zip file above ?
Ok, I tried the plugin posted here by AdmiralAK, on my Universal.
First thing I noticed was it actually ran on the O2 ROM.
Second thing was how small the icons are compared to the plguin built into the Orange Universal ROM.
But I guess that makes sence as the screens are very different sizes. More importantly must of the plugin works fine.
I'm sure a little editing would probably have it all working.
What I did notice is its totally different to the Universal plugin, none of the files i've edited to get the universal version working the way I want it to, exist in this version. Hence the Full_one.xml, t* and .bmh files are not in the Windows folder.
I've gone back to the Orange ROM, as I have it running the way I want and the bigger icons are easier to use on the Universal. But i'll be keeping this version as I may get a TyTn next year.
Cool program. But too bad, limited customizable.
Hi people,
Great software, I was looking to try this on my MDA Vario. Too bad of it's limitations. Good to try out and see how it works.
Though I was thinking of visually designing a kind of similar application and find some great developers on this site to help me create it. Of course if anyone is interested in this kind of functionality.
Anyone already interested? let me know. i hope to have some draft ideas on here in the form of screenshots as soon as possible. but now it's diner time see ya.
Cheers,
Shah.
I have tried editing the 'full_one.xml' file, then soft reset....however it hasn't changed anything...
did i miss something?
Hi guy,
I've tried to resize the icon of plug-in and it's ok in portrait but no in landscape, I think it's a registry problem for landscape.
I'd like to use the plug-in on no orange rom.
I'll find the way to get more than 4 custom option but i get without icon.
The file full_one.xml is linked with other file of the orange rom so I think that's one problem.
@Shah2,
I'd be interested in a plugin like this, that has a few more options [see below] and works on all ROM's.
I have no programing skills or abilities, but i'd help out where I can. :wink:
@minty1978,
The Full_one.xml file only lets you edit the Labels and the URL's in the plugin.
@filippodisvevia,
I'd like to use the plug-in on a none Orange ROM too.
Then I wouldn't have to kepp hiding my Universal from the IT guys at work. :lol:
The 3 things I'd like to change on the plugin are:
1. Have more than 5 URL's in the Web section.
2. Have more than 4 programs in the Launch section.
3. Have all seven sections appear on the screen [at least in portrate mode][/i]
I'm a littlebit busy but I want resolve this match.
Stay tuned
Concept Orange Homescreen Pimped Beta 0.1
Hi people,
I told ya that I was interested in making the Orange Homescreen even better than it is at the moment.
THESE ARE PURELY PHOTOSHOP MOCKUPS!
Image number 1 shows the use of today plugin as we know them. It's just to give an example. All the other screens speak for themselves.
If anyone has his/her own ideas please share them in this thread. I would also like to draw the attention of developers who might be interested in creating this for real, and not just some photoshop images, please let me know.
Cheers,
Shah
Hi Shah,
Thats way more complex, than I was looking for. :shock:
But, If this was to be built as a new plugin, hopefully it could be scalable, using a .ini or .xml file. Like the real Orange plugin does. 8)
The only I don't really like, is the other plugins showing as in pic.1.
I have other plugins switched on while i'm at work, and the Orange one at night. I find the empty desktop more relaxing. :wink:

Hi ZaForD
The complexity is actually quite limited. Because if you use the plugin most of the options are the same. Most of the items are just additions to the rest of the plugin.
And for the pic 1. I can image it's not that nice. But with input we can work on making it more general so that people will like it.
Personally I would like to have the standaard Today screen plugins visible because they are still usefull.
It's also a possibility that all the items are configerable to meet users needs. For example standaard options like the original homescreen for users that want the basic functionalities, and advanced options for users who want more options. so that every page is user configerable.
Anything is possible in Photoshop haha. but seriously if there are any developers who are interested please leave a note.
Cheers,
Shah
I stopped using the plugin - no matter how much I liked it - because it did not show me tasks tat need to be done.
I would be interested in something more complex than it is now (at least show me my tasks) but maybe not as complex as the mockups. scalability would be cool
What do you think he is trying to do?

Any updates on this?
I have a Prophet and tested the plugin, however there are some things that I can't edit (cause I don't have an Orange ROM)...

I have forgotten how...
But check this for example...

Red, instead gray.
But I think it was an Picture too... but my little brain.

I'm 98,7 % sure it is possible to change the grey.
I have only forgotten if you need to make 2 big Buttons or you can replace it or change color.

and why with 0.7
you are so funny adfree
by the way that modification can't be done with the theme designer
it is a hack for sure but how is it done i don't know
Theme Designer is the only Tool I know which convert into QMG...
It is "easy"... For Wallpaper/Background you can choose free Resolution.
For instance 1 x 1 Pixel...
And it is possible to make bigger Icons... over the way of Background size... then order files via hand in Theme...
Long time ago I did few experiments...

Have anyone found a solution or am i doing anything wrong?
I used the exact same source in both of the screenshots.
Thank you a lot
Don't have a plan of this..but i know if you use a false program to save a png the transparency is gone..maybe it have to do...or is similar to your problem.....?!?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium App
But on hd2 it works. And that part of the trasparency is made by the library (i generate txd files with Tiled, that makes me choose what colour use as transparent). Then when andengine reads the file and generates the tilemap it should leave those parts transparent.
Thank you a lot
