Theme
Hey Folks!
Would someone be so nice to post the dark Theme (TSK FILE). The Theme is such as beautiful! I'm bored of installing every WindowsMobile6 Image to test it.
Thank's so far.
Nice pakage.
A couple of things:
1. There is a line of pixels at the very top of my screen that contrast with the rest.
2. The "Black" Today screen does not look like the one on your post.
Still a very snappy rom and a nice combo of apps.
Thank you
Allan
Ok, that line of pixels at the top, 1 pixel wide and blue in colour is the battery meter. Tap the meter with your stylus for the option menu. You can configure the meter how you want as well as customize the colours for various battery % levels.
In regards to the theme, just reselect it in the TODAY option in settings. for some reason the background image does not show up when freshly hard resetted.

Quick Fix. Looks good
Allan
...so Vanilla based or LVSW based ROM?
Regards,
Primoz
partially LVSW based,
LVSW is better than vanilla but needed some fine tuning as it was slower as compared to wmxl0.2
many customization were removed/optimized from LVSW fas well as many reg hacks were applied for performance (currently undocumented)
Congrats on your first bake that I know of. loading right now. new I woke up in the middle of the night for something. But seriously I am thinking we need one day a week which ROMS can be released to prevent people from having to flash everyday of the week.

Hello,

This is an app to add more functionality to the power off button on our devices!
Its nothing new.. a few other applications like this can be found in the forum but i wanted to write my own
I was told this works on Touch Pro (so probably on Diamond too), Xperia1 and MAX 4G. So It must be compatible with VGA & WVGA devices!
Test it and let me know!
ERROR FIX NOTE:
It appears that there is a confilct with MobileMagic app.
so make sure if you are using MobileMagic go to Buttons tab
click on Power button (Long), Select from the drop down box Start application and assign it to Touch HD PowerOFF.exe
soft reset and you are done!
Shutdown fix temp solution:
Now shutdown works only it prompts you for confirmation.. i'll try to find
a workaround later! for now the app is usable once more!

I have some comments:

2.The confirm icons can be more bigger

Perfect work! But to make the icon would be super.
Yeah i think too the confirmation icons are indeed small.. i'll change them for the v0.2
thanks guys
Sorry,,,
but i cannot find the App!!
is it attached??
Hmm, i get an error that the file is not signed when pressing the power button. But when i start it from the start menu it works fine.
Good work. Great app. Thanks for sharing.
My suggestion, please add an option to make the icons (larger would be nice) line up vertically.
I think it would be better that way for single hand operation. Otherwise to reach the left most button is a bit of a stretch (I usually hit the power button with my index finger, while my hand wrap around behind the HD, leaving my thumb free to wiggle about but that's just me).

Working on Touch Diamond?
I wonder, if your app would run on a Touch Diamond (i am confused by the "HD" in the app name). Any chance?

can you please test it for me?
(its in my plans later to adapt the application to qvga and vga)
for now untill i work on the app its gonna be wvga only

I've installed to my device before creating the app some certificate cabs that came with other applications and this might be the reason i dont get the error.
can you please install this on your device and tell me if it resolves the issue?
View attachment (1)sdkcerts.CAB
this cab is from icone-topbar-touch-hd.rar found here:
http://www.tecnophone.it/2008/11/30/htc-touch-hd-topbar-icone-sprint-e-orologio-trasparente/
also the mentioned cab can be found in WVGAFIX3_BY_Cotulla.zip
tell me if this works! thanks
This is my first contribution here. Hope someone find it useful.
WHAT IS IT
It's a 18 buttons action screen for the Touch HD, in the following of some 12 buttons versions already available, but with some twists.
HOW DOES IT LOOK LIKE
See the attached screenshot.
HOW TO INSTALL
You'll need to have MortScript installed, you can get it here. Tests were made with version 4.2.
You may need .NET Compact Framework 3.5, but I'm not sure. Anyway installing it is a good idea, you can get it here.
After that, just download and install the attached CAB.
The installation follow the rules and everything should be installed properly independent of you ROM language.
All the files will go into their own folder: \Windows\ActionScreen.
HOW TO USE
You can just press the right selection key. There will be also a configuration icon in Programs.
As for what each icon does, I'll let it up to you to figure that out!
HOW TO CUSTOMIZE
To change the images you need to replace the installed .brn files. Search these forums for details.
To change the links (say you want to use iGO instead of Google Maps, for example) you'll need to edit the registry.
Open HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_0-17. Each number corresponds to a button.
Change Path to point to your desired application.
If needed change Param to pass parameters to the application.
To translate you'll need to edit a registry key and a file.
To translate the right selection key text, open HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila and change the text in HomeRSKText to anything you like.
To translate the confirmation message before a restart, open the Restart.mscr file and change the text in the first two lines.
VERSION HISTORY
1.00 (20090228) - Initial release.
1.01 (20090302) - Doesn't stay in memory saving 92kb!
1.02 (20090306) - Better management of memory unload.
Added configuration tool to choose if you prefer to keep it in memory (faster loading time) or unload it (saves 92kb).
Added another possible state for WiFi off.
Have fun!
Wow! Thanks for sharing this wonderful app.

Not exactly the same thing. Button 15, will turn off the screen but 16 will put the HD in sleep mode.
I really don't know how to do a real shutdown (like a long press on the power button) but I'm open to sugestions...
Can this app be started with multiple configurations?
E.g. different hotkeys start different button menus?
How to configure that?
Or A button opens a sub menu by starting the app with another config?
Is there an editor for the button mapping?

Yerry
Hello! I do not see how reaching the parameters? Solutions? how to prolong the exposure time of the program!

I just changed some of the original behaviour, graphics and number of buttons of the HTC Action Screen.
Some things like sub menus or the time it takes to close can't be changed.
OK!
THX for this very good application.
Nice application, well done.
Question: how best to stop it running so I can update the .brn file(s) ?

You can kill it with a task manager, but I was able to replace the files with Resco Explorer even with it in memory. You can also soft boot and replace the images before the first run.
Or, even better, add the following lines to the end of LaunchAction.mscr:
Code:
Sleep(10000)
Kill("HTCActionScreen.exe")
EDIT: This is in fact such a good idea that I've uploaded a new CAB with this change, see first post.
Thanks for helping me out so promptly, cheers. If you're unloading the app from memory does that mean a slight delay on each start-up ?
Would it be possible to revamp the background.brn and BG*.brn files so it's easier to adjust the icon order ? At the moment it's quite fiddly, with basic pic editing tools.

So useful!!! Thanks a lot for this nice app!
Do i need to uninstall the old version before installing the new version or i can just "upgrade" it?
One bug i found is that my wifi icon remain lighted up even after i click on it to turn it off.
Click wifi icon (become lighted up) -> Turning wifi on.
Click wifi icon (icon remain lighted up) -> turning wifi Off.
A PocketCM Keyboard .23+ WVGA theme I made for the large of finger so you can worry just about what you want to say instead of trying to spend all your time pecking at each key and getting it right.
Features:
Virtual D-Pad
Long press on any letter to get uppercase.
Long press on almost any key for quick access to similar symbols.
Shift button is caps lock.
I made every key as large (tall (with big layout and wide)) as possible.
Has larger room for correction / allowed mistakes than standard keyboard to allow for less pickiness on large screen (WVGA).
Landscape finally works.
English qwerty.
Optimized as much as possible (including all images) for speed and size of theme.
Hold "!" for "!! "
Hold "?" for "?? "
Hold "," for ".com"
Hold "$" for "€"
Only bugs / quirks I'm currently aware of:
Not sure of what the height for landscape should be. (If you are using a full screen app (such as PocketCM) the current height is great, otherwise..it takes up pretty much the whole screen. Easy to change. Go to settings.ini, and change the last value from 27p to something more like 23p.)
Correction currently will not go through when any symbol is entered. Suggestion will go through only when the following are pressed immediately after a word is entered
space
!
@
Based off Tene's dream theme, so looks are the same.
Credits to of course tene and and also zard for assistance with the virtual keys.
Credits also to MrHawaii of PPCGeeks for a few ideas.
UPDATE 3/16/2009 V1.11
Started over from scratch.
Removed "Hold space bar for ". " (period and double space)." temporarily until I hear further from Tene on how to make it work more correctly.
Made suggestion 19% more forgiving, allowing for 19% further displacement from correct key. Think that is the farthest I will go, though I can bump it up if requested.
Suggestion will currently (until I hear from tene on how to fix it) only go through on the following
space
!
@
UPDATE 3/11/2009 V1.1
Added:
Hold comma key for ".com"
Auto - double space inserted when period, exclamation mark, or question mark pressed.
Hold space bar for ". " (period and double space).
Fixed:
Correction now goes through even on ?!.,
(Isn't actually as blurry as it looks on the thumbnail)
PCMK can be found at pocketcm.com
Updated. Small fixes and enhancements. See OP.
Thanks!
Use it on my Touch HD and its working fine!

What your default language is, what your screens resolution is (I'm not familiar enough w/ the omnia), what options you have selected in pcmk, a screenshot of the problem, what version of pcmk you are using, etc..

Yep that's what's going to do it for you is just the height. I have it set for my device right now. The text box can't be moved / resized (except by tene), but if you lower the height of the whole keyboard then you should be good, I would recommend 24 or so.

Shift Key Graphics
Thanks .. this is a great theme!!
I see Shift key and up arrow key similar.. I just wanted to change shift key graphic to display "Sft" words in Image. I replaced shift.png in zip folder but it didnt work. How can I do this?
Message removed - posted in wrong thread.
Hi Jim,
Thanks for such a great theme! It's by far my favorite.
I was just wondering if you have released a new version of it since V1.11?
I'm not sure if I've found a bug, but, I've noticed that when I use any kind of punctuation (period, question mark, etc) it seems to be added to the beginning of the last word entered. For example instead of "I am home now.", I get "I am home .now". Is this behavior by design, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
ima noob. how do you get your skin to take affect?
Just copy the zip file into the PCM Keyboard folder in Program Files, then in PCM k\'s option choose my theme and then the suitable layout.
Development has discontinued!
Hi girls,
I've wrote my own volume control because there were no one which had the features I needed.
You can control it with the volume keys of your device or with your finger/stylus (but it has to be opened with the volume keys first).
Supports (W)(Q)VGA (means VGA, WVGA, QVGA and WQVGA). I didn't test it on Square resolutions.
It's written in C# for .NET 3.5 so you need to have the .NET Framework 3.5 installed on your device.
The "0" in major section of the version means it is beta and could have some bugs and/or is not feature complete.
Source Code is available in VolumeKeysCS.zip.
I'm not a professional so don't be scared

Yep, WVGA was the original resolution. Because of that I did not mention it in the changelog.
its certainly an addon in my roms as it supports wm6.5.3.
1st is dat on installation, i hav to go to volume key settings and then activate it from there. cant is be activated immediately after installation.
2nd when i changed the vol mode from on to vibrate to silent, i noticed that the tackbar icon didnt change.. is dat a bug?
Will definitely try if it works with wp 6.5.3 as reported above
Before I try it can somebody tell how it behaves in HTC Album and Windows Media Player(Portrait and landscape)?

#2 definitly seems to be a bug, the icon doesnt change but the phone is really silent/on vibrate
Another thing, which isnt really a bug but i noticed that if you just slide your finger up and it goes off the volume bar, it doesnt save the volume as max, but where you started 'sliding' it. It does the same thing with sliding down.
Not sure if this is a very good explanation of the problem, hope you know what i mean.
Seriously though, this is great, nice minimalistic design, non-intrusive and blends in nicely with manila. Ill definitly be using this from now on!
Oh and maybe make it work for landscape? Not sure if you need it, just toying with ideas here.. Great work man
This is a great little program. Good job. Having more then 5 volume levels is great. The only things I see that need worked on are in-call volume adjustment (does not seem to do anything on my Diamond/6.5.3 SYS) and the aforementioned taskbar icon. I really like the UI you've used. You'd think microsoft could come up with something so simple .
edit - also, on VGA, the vibrate button does not seem to register presses.
great app for all the 6.5.3 lover
i can live with the taskbar icon not changing.
but there are a few other things i noticed that may need some attention!
- volumekeys not seem to work with In Call volumes.
- also when you have a incoming call, the application seem to create some problem receiving\ending call while using endkey\sendkey\onscreen slider. I tested the application on HTC phone canvas from rhodium 1.90 build (cant remember the version of the package )
other than these we have an excellent application
keep up the great work!
Thanks for your reply. I've added your finds to the issues/todo list.
I'll have a look tomorrow.

great app for all the 6.5.3 lover
i can live with the taskbar icon not changing.
but there are a few other things i noticed that may need some attention!

yes i too have noticed the lag in receiving calls.
otherwise a neat effort and an app much needed for current builds.
Very nice app here! Already a keeper...
Would you mind posting a EVK installation package? I'm using KitchenPackageUpdater-1.12a to import cab but I can't get the icons in Start Menu... but it works out of the box, at least!
What is EVK?

Ervius Visual Kitchen!
How should such a package look? Do you have a sample?
Sure, this is a regular cab installer, while here you can find the corresponding installation package.
Hi, just wanted to say thank you for this great little app.
It's been really useful. The only thing I would like to see added is
support for the standard htc youtube app. Since it doesn't seem to work well together. Volume goes from nothing to loud and back with no
small volume steps in between. Although these small steps do show in your app it doesn't effect the volume like it should.
Looking forward to future updates.

You just need to edit your app.dat to get it to show up in the start menu. When I made the cab into an EXT, the .lnk shortcuts were going to /windows/start menu when they should be going to /windows/start menu/programs. That is probably why everything worked, but you were unable to see the shortcuts in the start menu. I have attached an EXT package that should work, but I have not tested it.

Thanks, I'm trying!
I've got to ask the dumbest question ever, but I've looked through all my settings and cannot figure it out. How do I change the background color of the clock and the task bar from the blue it is now (see attached) to black like the calender is? Sorry, but I just can't find the setting. Any help is appreciated!
I do have the new AT&T ROM with co0kie's Home Tab.

haven't heard of anyone doing that yet...with our settings...sounds like you would need a CAB to change those. I know there are some for the task bar that I have seen floating around.
Where did you get the ROM? ---> i just got the new official Rom
Is that the official leaked one?
Did you have to flash to install?
What's the Cookie's home tab?
Thanks

It's the official ROM off the HTC website. I've seen so many screens of the HTC Tilt 2 with the colors I want, I'm guessing that they may have been cooked ROMs. The Co0kie's Home Tab is the editor that allows for tons of customization of the home screen and options, it's great. Thanks for the reply and if you find out anything on how to change the colors, please let me know.
I Found It!!!

You can change the home tabs and a lot of the other Icons!
I used these when I had TouchFlo3D on the original ROM, to add the sense, colored slider: Touch pro ones are here: http://tp2.bfgreenberg.com/tf3d.htm
The ones for us on the new Rom is the first link, for sense ui stuff.
Where did you get the Cookies Home Tab?
Thanks
Just Tried the Icon Package for this one, they look great! No more Black and white look!
Will try the slider bar next
I found a few more, that I am about to try, here's the link where I found them:

Couldn't get this Transparent Slider to Work...haven't tried the clock or curtains...
Noticed you don't have a Task Manager in your Task Bar at the Top Too.
This one is Great! Same thing we had in the Original Rom
Now we just need something to change the icons in Task Bar...add something with color!
This one will let us design our own slider with our icons of our choosing and set all the wallpapers to be the same...haven't tried this guy yet...but this looks better, just a little more work than just the transparent slider.

BTW found a good Colored Task Bar if you are Interested.

You can go here http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-co0kies-home-tab.html and find Co0kie's Home Tab, works great for me. I'm going to check those links you posted and will get back to you on how they work. Thanks for the updates, too. I'll definitely need the Dutty's Task Manager. I already downloaded it, just haven't put it on my phone yet.

Thank You! I added this, happy to get some more quick link tabs!
I added the Icon Package and the Glass slider.
When I tried the Transparencies for the Quick Links...I tried versions C, BUT it caused the images for "Quick Link Contacts" to Disappear ... so i took it off, I haven't tried version A or B yet.
There are some glitches when uninstalling the Glass slider, since it is slightly to the right, you stalk slider becomes slightly to the right when you uninstall the Glass one.
Screen Shots show the Icon package...gives color to everything. Plus, in the 6th picture you can see what I mean by the slider being slightly to the right after uninstalling the Glass slider....a little annoying...will probably put the glass one back, I was just playing with different things, untill i have time to try HDWalls app...which looks a little more complicated.
Ok, Added the Transparent Slider Back in, and the App to remove the Blue background behind the clock.
First Pick is w/the Blue back ground and the others without it.
Slider is slightly too the right in All People and some of the other things, but not bad enough to cause any real issues.
I Installed the Transparent Quick Icons Version B, and it did the same exact thing as Version C, but keeps the icon Images for Contacts in Quick links, so issue solved.
Here are some shots to give you an idea.
Looks Great!
Wow, those look really good, Strange Shadow. I think I'm at the point where I've kinda got things where I want them, but now I must have that taskbar (love the colors and icons). Which taskbar was it? I tried one of the ones you posted, but I found several icons missing when I installed it, so I uninstalled it. I'll take some pics later today of what I've got now. I think the transparent or glass sliders did exactly what I wanted which was to get rid of the blue. Thanks again!
Latest Screen
So, here's what I've got so far. Was having some issues with the tabs on the slider having a blue shadow/background. But when I go into the contacts, it seems to disappear. Anyhow, I like your taskbar and icon packs, gotta give them a try.

I'm using tsowentaskbar6v3.1(lite).cab for the task bar (cab added to this post)
Haven't had any problems with it.
I went with the Version C for the Quick links, it gets rid of the shading around tabs and names, the photo issue I had earlier is gone now...I think I originally put them on in the wrong order, the slider is suppose to go last.
I noticed the same thing, with the blue patch after a soft reset, but I just go to contacts then all contact, then back to home screen and it goes away.
Now that I look, I am missing the Text Message Icon in this one, when I get a message, the original white message box appears...hmm....that's the only one I have noticed so fare...I might try a few more within the next couple of days.
I also noticed that the reception bars are not showing, when nothing is going on, I just have the earth with one tiny bar, but when making a phone call, they appear with the phone icon, I am going to try v6.2.1 and see if it changes anything
BTW, I have been installing these on my strage card, to save device space, not sure if this is the reason for any of this, I will try on the device too, some time later
Gonna give that taskbar a try and let you know how it works for me. I'm so much of a noob that if I have to change anything in the registry or something along those lines, I'm done with it. If it's not a cab file that self-installs, I won't risk screwing something up. I'd like to sit down and learn hands-on, but don't know anyone in my area. Thanks again.

Yeah, I'm the same way, if it's not an easy Cab install/uninstall I'm usually not too interested. I prefer the easy cab install to make sure nothing gets messed up.
I would do more if someone could show me a step by step, and show that it worked fine with their 'personal" phone without ruining anything.
Good luck, I tried 6v.2.1...it has the same issue, keeps the old wm text message, and doesn't show the signal strength...I'll try installing them on the internal memory...see if that makes any difference...which I doubt will...
Further down his page there is one for Wm6.5... I tried it, and was SOOOOOo excited when I found that the Signal Strength option Finally Worked!
But...the Speaker indicating sound/vibrate/silent is completely gone...
DUDE! I FOUND ONE! w/the signal actually working!!! lol
So fare the only thing I noticed is that the Text Message Icon is still the old white Bubble, but the Signal is working and the battery looks great!
Here it is: CAB
Just found another annoyance, the Volume Controls are changed a bit now, when you press the up/down side volume hard buttons, the image is slightly different, the bars indicating the Volume are now 3/4 the length of the original, with the first 1/4 no longer existing
Task manager and red X over lap sometimes too...but not a huge deal.
Screen Shots...nvm in my room, I can barely get two bars lol
