Hey all,
Can somebody confirm that they have had the Uni working with the AKU_3.2 VGA files in the ftp site and jwright's 3.2 ROM?
I've been running the i-mate default ROM on VGA for almost a year now and decided to switch over to the new 3.2 ROM a few days ago. I don't use ozVGA but use the registry hack straight up with the VGA files and VGA system apps.
But for some reason, I can't get all my icons displaying. I've run sdkcerts countless times, hit the power button waiting for 5 seconds before soft resetting, done multiple reboots changing up the order of sdkcerts and vga file copying... I just can't seem to get it to display all the icons correctly.
I know that I'm missing my volume and my cel reception indicator on the top bar at the very least. I CAN see my wifi icons, clock and magic button icons. On another post I found somebody whose screenshot matched mine and the suggestion was to install the AKU_3.2 VGA files again. I've done that alot.
Any ideas would be appreciated. The Uni is significantly better at VGA.
Thanks.
Hmmmm, something strange is definitely going on... I've installed the original ozVGA cab now and even that has not worked. Same problem, it's not loading the top bar icons.... just like if I had not installed those 96dpi resource files into the Windows directory.
Can anybody confirm or deny that ozVGA works with the AKU 3.2 rom?
And mvrTrueVGA is the winner. Why it seemed to work and the other didn't is beyond me...
So I've compared all the files that mvrTrueVGA installs to the VGA files that are supplied in the AKU_2 zip. Essentially, they are all different (which honestly doesn't say much) but there are some interesting additions.
There are new files.
mismde.96.dll
trares0407.96.dll
Plus two interesting things. First off, I was using Total commander to search for all files that were *.96.*
It found two other files which had some interesting properties...
rires.96.dll -- this file I can see on my pocket pc but can't see it through activesync explorer
shellresapps.96.dll -- this file I can't copy from the PPC to look at it. Activesync complains that it cannot convert it.
Just some interesting info in my investigations.
Hi,
I wanted to try out VGA myself. Would it be too much to ask for a step by step instruction list for "beginers"? Attached files would also make it wonderful.
Thanks very much.
Me too wanna try vga with AKU 3.2 if it's totally safe .
www.jaml.com/MvRTrueVGA/
seems safe to me.
Been using it for a while.this is literally just a cab install, it even puts a toggle link in start>programs
pretty idiot-proof, Even I managed that one....

Hey thanks.
The Power Settings and the Phone Applications are all mangle up though.
Backgrounds work through Pictures and Video.

Thanks for the tip. Yes, VJ's Phone app works like a charm. What is the purpose of the other link that you gave us with the registry changes?
It would be nice though for the power settings to be seen as normal as possible.

Thanks very much. I did not even notice those. Keep the suggestions coming. VGA seems better now even though it is still small.
I copied the files: power, backlight, and microphone mui's to my SD card ran them and got a nice looking files without distortion, I copied the files as suggested to the /Windows folder and did a soft reset. But if I access the power, backlight, and microphone through the Settings Tab, I still get the old distorted image. Is this the way it should be? Am I doing something wrong?

Did you run the .0409.mui exe first? Then copy to Windows? Then remove the trailing .exe from the .0409.exe files? It worked perfectly for me.

Hi
I have a question.
I found a thread in which they put some files in to change all backgroounds in all tabs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2869354&postcount=571
So I downladed the files and unzipped them on the PC.
I got 2 files:
5c9aa261_manila
4a087e41_manila
So I thought I had to copy them into the windows folder of the touch hd (am I right?). So I did. The file "4a087e41_manila" copies as it should, but when I try to copy the file "5c9aa261_manila" it says that it has to replace an already existing file. Then I click yes and it says thats not able to overwrite the file, cos its in use.
So does somebody know how to do that and if I am on the right way to install it? (didnt find a howto to install this backgroundmod )
Thanks in advance!

use total commander to copy and paste it then it will let you overwrite it or stop tf3d and use TC. it worked great for me but just an FYI, you have to mod the manilla file with a 256x256 pic or you will end up with a white backgroun on every tab instead of your pic

I made my own manila file and think it looks terrible with this. IT stretches the 256x256. Any chance odf using 512x512 or soemthing that doesnt have to be a perfect square?
You've probably worked this out for yourself by now, but i think the trick here is to pick an image that looks good at 800x480 and then use PSP or similar to squish it to 256x256. The HD seems to resize the image to something acceptable when it renders it.
Worked for me anyway. Having said that, the image quality isn't fabulous - decent but not spectacular - from what looked to be a good starting image, so maybe I'm doing something wrong - I'd expect a decent image on a screen like the HD's.
Any other suggestions from those that have already replaced backgrounds?
that is precisely what I am doing with the exact same result. In addition, it seems to position the image a hair to the left..... not sure why.
I reckon we're losing detail when the image is compressed and which the HD can't recover when it renders the image. There ought to be a way of sorting this out as there seem to be other examples of decent quality backgrounds on the forum. Maybe these are only home tsb backgrounds though?
Of the two files that change the background I reckon the one that starts with 5 is the one that tells HD what and how to display. If I knew how to edit this I reckon it the displacement issue could be sorted out and it might even be possible to use a bigger image. I'm poking around in the dark though.
work great for me !! tnx !!

Can somebody explain this to me?
Hi guys
I installed the two manila files "5c9aa261_manila" and "4a087e41_manila" (see attached in "manila files.zip") into the windows folder and then reactivated TF3D.
Then I say that the background changed well in all tabs. It seemed everything was all right til I saw this (picture attached). In the all programs list and the share portfoilo tab I see instead of a all white backgroud a dark bar in the upper half of the screen showing the background installed on all tabs.
Now I wanted to know how I could solve this. Hope someone could help me.
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem. I've even hard reset the device and applied this tweak with the same result. Anyone else have a suggestion??
I have the same problem... and it didnt bug me before but it really bugs me now... it happens in all TF3D applications, all programs, Album etc.
Appreciate any advice on how to fix this.
Anyone.. perhaps the original author of the thread.. are we the only two people seeing this issue?
I do not have a solution to that, but what I have noticed quite often earlier on the HD (not sure if it was the case with the Diamond, as the Diamond backgrounds looked better) but whenever you set a background the NORMAL way (using the settings tab) then the background also becomes quite unsharp, indicating that the phone makes a snapshot of the image which is a lot smaller, and which then gets scaled back up when displayed on the home screen.
I don't know why manila does this, or why HTC decided to do this, perhaps to conserve memory but come on, an 800x480 image does not have to be big.
Wanna see what I mean, watch a razor sharp picture in album viewer then put it on your background, it will be unsharp, like it's a blown up very small image.
If anyone has any clue on how to change this, to be able to use sharp backgrounds, i'd be grateful.

the icons are from PPC rom,i dump the rom,originaly they are png format,then i convert them to .ico,because some pixes are translucent,so when they are converted to .ico format,you will find the edge is not so good.
but if you use iphone style square icons on wm,you will find it`s very good
that`s the reason
why are they good in computer?because the some of the icons`s edge are transparent or translucent，xp/vista support 32 translucent,but wm(base on WINCE) dont support
sorry for my poor english

Hi, I tried many roms and most of them work fine. but I'm always having comm manager issues.
On first boot, comm manager loads fine. but after some use.
whenever i want to use comm manager to load wifi or bt, it won't show up.
I need to reboot the phone and do it.
does anyone know what could be causing this?
thanks
i dont know why it does that but (assuming your using 6.1 and up) you go into the task manager and kill the wrlsmanager process. go back to the home screen and restart the app it should start up now and avoid the reboot.
thanks!
i'll do that when it happens.
so annoying... lol
I had that problem, it was irritating but I just had to make myself press the "Done" button in Comm Manager when I had finished using it, rather than just switching to another app. It always seemed to open fine after I changed my habits! ;-)
it happened again, but this time i don't see wrlsmanager process
and reboot doesn't work.
any other ideas?
thanks
is this an issue in every rom? or could it be hardware?
cuz every rom i'm trying is acting like this.
some don't even load after a reset.
it just shows the color wheel.
i have 19mb free ram. so what gives?

I'm not so sure if I am understanding this incorrectly, but is it that Bluetooth and Wifi are greyed out on the comm manager? or will the comm manager just not work?
If it is the prior, then what ROM are you using currently (although you say you have tried many)? If it is Ookba's 3vo V2.5.080809 then he posed a fix on the second post for Wifi issues. I know i had issues where Wifi wouldn't start. I installed the fix, and it did exactly that, it fixed it. Not so sure about bluetooth...
I would go ahead an ask Ookba what he did, because at one point he mentioned suspecting there were hardware differences in some Excalibur units...
If it is that the comm manager wont start up, that is weird. If killing the process doesn't always work, check the sortcut...I know that one or two ROMS that i had used in the past had problems where they accidentally put "commmmanager" or something of the sorts, and most of the time, the phone was unable to interpret that correctly.
If it isnt either of those, then I am sorry I am totally off track haha.
Anyways, hope I helped a bit...
Hi
the comm mananger won't load.
and there is no wrls manager process running.
it doesn't load after a reset sometimes either.
I tried the roms posted in the wiki
most of the wm 6.1 roms posted in the wiki
080408 - Remade By Rickywatt
NRG's 'Rose' ROM ver. 1.4
NRG Rose Rom v1.7 - Remade by Ricky and Stylez
and
3VOLUTION series
thanks
what should the comm manager target be?
thanks
Well, i just used a text editor to look at my phone's CommManager link on the start menu ...
Running Ookba's 3VO 2.5 (with the WiFi Patch installed) it says this:
Code:
39#"\Windows\CommManager.exe"
?\Windows\SP_ProgramIcon.dll,-110
The second line is for the links icon...the first line points to where the Communications Manager program is...make sure it matches that...
By the way...are you launching comm manager from the start menu or from the CComm panel on the homescreen, or are you using the 'hold down the TZones/Internet button' method implemented in some ROMs?...for any of them there is a way to check the link....
I mentioned above how to check for Start Menu....
For the CComm Panel, go into the registry with a registry editor...Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CComm\ ... in there should be keys named "Page1", Page2 and so on...check each of them for "SK2URL" and make sure that for each the value is "\Windows\CommManager.exe" (no quotes " ")
For the holding down of the TZones/Internet button, go to the windows directory and look for long_IE.lnk (i think that is what it is called, im not sure though...my phone doesnt have that) and make sure it points to the correct file...
That is really all i can think of...hope it helps
thanks,

Do you have Notepad or something on your phone? If not I believe there is a NotePad program on the Development and Hacking sub-forum on XDA, if not you can go to this site, they have a notepad application i belive
http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com/DashApps.htm
Use that to open the .lnk file...
And i use Resco RegEdit to edit the registry, but i believe most ROMS have some reg editor built in...

For starters, why is it "CommManagerlink.exe", it should just be "CommManager.exe", unless that is how the ROM was cooked.
Okay, try this...
First, go to the WINDOWS directory, and find CommManager.exe, and click it. If it works, then the shortcut is the problem...if so move on to the next 'step'...
Using a file explorer, make a backup copy of the .lnk file (just do a duplicate, or copy and paste into a new folder) just incase something goes wrong.
Now, for the first try, just change "CommManagerlink.exe" to "CommManager.exe" (obviously, no " "). if that doesn't work, do the next method.
If the first method didn't work, try replacing the contents of the .lnk file with
Code:
39#"\Windows\CommManager.exe"
If that method did not work, then I am really not sure what is wrong. However, i know that some ROM's come cooked with Resco Explorer...and there is a function on one of the menus to "Send to Start Menu as a Shortcut"...that would make it a whole lot easier...since you could just do that instead of making/modifying your own...
Look inside the WINDOWS folder, and look for "CommManagerlink.exe" ... I doubt it exists...but it all depends on what ROM you are using, as I don't know the specifics of EVERY ROM. So what ROM are you currently using?
Hope this helps
Odd, I have both. LOL
CommManagerlink.exe and the non link one.
I'll make 2 short cuts and see which one works better.
I'll report back with results
Thank you for all ur help.
Dammit it happened again.
I don't get it.
why it doesn't load up.
even when i try the phone alarm buttons it doesn't work.
the buttons light up on phonealarm, but the bluetooth or wifi doesn't work.

Give me som details about your phone...
Where was it made (China or Taiwan)? (it says behind the battery, on the phone)
What ROM are you running?
How much are you overclocking?
What applications do you have installed?
Are you trying to use the 'NEW' CommManager (the sleek one), or the Old Default (for stock ROMs) that is tacky?
And any other detail you think is important...
From that i may be able to help you more!
Hey,
thanks for helping me out.
I have the Taiwan version and the China version.
both of them are currently using the NRG rose 1.4 rom.
i have programs like,
Sktools, phone alarm, facade and S2u2 installed.
But i had this issues before installing any programs.
it happens on and off. and sometimes a softreset brings it back.
the rom came with the HTC comm manager.
but I switched it to the tacky one cuz it loads up faster and i don't need to scroll.
Thanks

S2U2? Are you even using an Excalibur? If not, you have posted in the wrong thread, as this is for EXCALIBUR phones. Although i guess windows mobile is windows mobile no matter what phone you are on.
I would do some google'ing...search for errors related to programs, bugs, or glitches that might make them interefere with the phone's normal functions. I would try looking at Facade since (if i am correct) that interacts with the homescreen, which i suppose could accidentally screw something up with other system functions.
These are all guesses, and I can't honestly think of anything else...It is really up to good google powers now haha.
Yea I'm using the Tmobile Dash. lol
I use S2u2 as the locking program.
it works well. the old locking program didn't work too well for me.
I had this issue before i knew about facade or installed it.
thanks

Oh, i was under the impression S2U2 was only for TouchScreen. Anyways, so the problem did happen BEFORE using Facade...hmmmm...thinking time!
I will get back to you as soon as i can think of a solution for your situation. However I am busy on my theme!
My current solution...Upgrade to one of the WM6.5 ROMs...they are awesome IMHO and probably give you better battery life...

alright, thank you very much.
i have a feeling that if we learn how to use this, many amazing skins can be made for our excaliburs.
I have downloaded it...initially tried to use it to make a preliminary of my Horizon Skin (which i hope to release soon). I found that it isn't (for me atleast) worth the effort.
Maybe I am just a super-noob with it, but I found it confusing and hard to actually design panels. It didn't work by the basis of centering the main panel or putting the active panel at the top...it was more like the screen was all active panels and I would have to scroll to each one. I found it annoying, but that is my take.
If someone can figure out how to efficiently use this program, then i saw more power to them, and maybe i will try this program again.
A few notes:
-Always exit correctly, sometimes it gives an error the next time starting
-Be sure to put your Bronzeres.dll in the WINDOWS folder there (it'll add some images)
-You can replace the default background
-I think putting the cmhomeres.dll and cmhomeres.dll.0409.mui (or whatever the second is) adds some text too.
-Make a backup of your registry and put it in the windows folder, then load it (It'll enable the use of the DLL's)
Good luck! I hope to see some good progress

i had the same issue with all the active panels, but what i did was i deactivated all the panels and just started with changing around the clock panel, so that helped.
i guess im more noob than you lol, but where is the cmhomeres.dll things? and how do you use them with the program because all i did was import a .cpr file.

I believe on the tools menu it has all the options "import registry" and "set background"....besides that, it reads the DLL files AUTOMATICALLY...
attached is CMhomeres

It actually does we just didn't name it that, but WM6.5 has suddenly become CHome and will be the reason how much users will know it as that.
Original Config - CHome Configurator for WM6.1: Version 1.1.0.5 FINAL (UPDATED - 2008/07/11)
CHome Refresh another tool we used to make the homescreen refresh.
But anyway the only way to get it is to flash 6.1 or 6.5 not available as .cab.......

On your phone go to the start menu then to Accessories, and then click RESCO REGISTRY (that is where it is on my phone). Get to the point where you see only HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and HKEY_CURRENT_USER or something like that...it is the highest you can go. Select all of those and select "export registry" (DONT FORGET TO SELECT ALL OF THEM). I kno the program doesn't use all of it, but it is safer that way (in my opinion)
once you make a theme what do you do after that?
how do you get it to your phone?

Hmm...haha, I never got that far (didn't have the patience)
I would suppose there is a way on the FILE menu to save the CPR. Do so, then copy the CPR file to the Windows Folder on your folder.
Two notes:
1-The CPR file MUST be named (in this case for simplicity) titanium_320x240.cpr
2-BACKUP YOUR OLD ONE THAT IS ALREADY THERE!!!YOU DONT WANT TO LOSE THAT ONE!
Best of luck!
