Hi all you uni users.
I'm after a few vga wmp skins (as the title may suggest).
I've searched extensively but come up a blank bar one skin thats pretty grim imho.
I'm after something that's kinda black or dark.
Anyone point me in the right direction?
google?
does google ring the bell?
try this
http://www.google.com.mx/search?hl=es&q=vga+wmp&btnG=Buscar+con+Google&meta=
Cheers for the intelligent response. Your ingenuity knows no bounds.
I know its purely personal but i've seen them and they are shoddy.
I guess what i'm after is a vga version of the touch or kaiser skin.
Anyone slightly more helpful around other than googleboy?

googleboy? well yes you can say that... i do use google a lot, but at least im not asking questions i can answer by SEARCHING instead of asking other people to do it for me starting a thread to look for something i dont even know myself (notice that you did not mention what type of skin you were looking for)
if you were more specific about what exactlly you are looking for maybe we can help. (we? wait i was the only one who replied to your stupid thread)
Dont take it personal i was just traying to help, in fact i still do
If you are after the TOUCH look try an application named MELODY (you get the Touch look and feel since you can go thru your list of song scrolling with your finger (and yes it is vga compatible) o know it is not WMP but it does play music.
kaiser look? never seen it.
take a look at this WMP skin if you like it i can "share it" with you

hopefully this one wont be too shoddy for ya.
best regards.
Erik "the googleboy"
i wasnt trying to be offensive but google seems to be the answer of choice recently.
i'd just assumed that people would realise i'd already googled the search terms in many different guises and then decided to ask for help. Aint that the rule of thumb around these parts?
i'm still relativelty green when it comes to vga stuff.
As far as the one reply goes i think its because noone has the answer.
The qvga skins ported from touch etc haven't been made vga.
Gonna see if i can learn how to do it myself.
*goes to google qvga convert vga*
Cheers for at least replying.
Paul
Honestly having a Good VGA WMP Skins thread isn't such a bad idea.
There simply aren't enough good ones.

The answer for this question have the same as for this other one "How do i know wath car is the best for me?"
Really you must read (lot of read) and then, if you are sure wath you are doing and wath you are looking for, take a test on every ROM....
Of course, Wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes must be your starting point.
Regards.

jcespi2005 is right - you need to do a lot of reading. This will give you a feel for how stable a rom is and how muck tinkering you need to do to get what you want.
I'd recommend Black 2.0 - it's great and stable. Also the LSVW roms are great, but there were some reports on a White Screen problem for some people. I haven't tried Dutty's rom yet, and I'm eagerly waiting for Kyphurs WMXL0.3 which I also think will be very good.
I'd also recommend flashing Olipros HardSPL 1.40 before you begin because it will help you if you have any problems later.
I will reiterate what ach2 has said.
Read... a lot. Wiki, forums, etc.
Also, I would recommend Black, although others have their favorites.
WTF is with that title. did u read the rles on posting? did u search at all? did u read anything that has been posted? have u followed any thread at all?
this has been asked, answered, discussed, compered, contrasted and debated.
pick a phone, pick a rom. dont like the rom change it.
make up ur own... mind if u have one.
most importantly RTFW do the research. do ur home work. put some effort in.
change the heading on the forum.
Simon,
Wind your neck in mate - your post just makes you sound like you're some jumped up moron with an attitude problem.
There are much nicer ways to tell people that they've asked a stupid question and this is something that has been discussed on this particular forum...at length. Your post adds nothing to the thread apart from unnecessary vitriol and repeats what several other people posted before you - except that they were much nicer about it (and used things like capital letters and punctuation
Either drop the attitude and try and be a little more helpful or ignore posts like this and STFU.
Thanks.

Cheers! Reason!
Anyway. It is a matter of trying them out and seeing what you like. Personally I started with WMXL 0.20 and am still on it. So I haven't found out what the other are like. I'll try Black 2.0, or 2.5 if its out by then , when WMXL 0.30 comes out. And if some required functionality isnt there, i'll go on to WMXL 0.30.
Basically. Read until your eyes just about fall out on HOW to upgrade. Then just pick whatever rom seems like a good idea at the time. The more important bit is making sure you do it right, then you can flash to a different one later (plenty of good info in the forums and on the wiki).

With too much to say about anything and everything
the famous mr poleman posted this in 2003 and has represented the guiding light and rule on posting rules since that date.
Perhaps maybe somebody could make reference to it WHEN CREATING POSTING TITLES at least.
i express my deepest and most sincerest apologies to all those that i may have offended... i am simply just a little frustrated seeing these posts with nothing but useless headings like pls help or error and like.
so... if the be all and end all of postings could be followed since 2003 and applied to all since that date maybe i would be more helpful and less frusrated.... so for those that didnt know or didnt read perhaps a revisit
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=221545
lordsmiff i bow to your righteousness and will do as u ask when people start following the guidelines and rules that have applied since long b4 u or i ever got here but seemed to be disregarded.
btw i was nice just wait ill i am really upset. at the moment i have been on this forum for 2hrs after working 14hrs and i see topic headings like this. pls forgive me my grumpiness and intolerance. i am usually more helpful and just lost my patience.
We're all grumpy sometimes dude, me included - and I got told the same thing not too long ago ;-)
So not exactly righteous, more of spread-the-love thang ;-)
Join the light side - take the path of righteousness - spread the love!

Oh, and to be a little more on topic, I've tried them all with no particular favourite, though I do like the LVSW one with the green skinned comm manager
I just flashed Black 2.0 Cingular to my 8525 and it seems my the ?mark on my keyboard produces a dash.
Didnt see anything about it on the board or in the wiki, anyone else have this or know how to fix it...
BTW thanks for Black 2.0
Dave
This cab has been posted all over, there is a known issue with the 8525 keyboard with the newer ROM's, I have included the cab for you.
Keep this cab handy in case you flash in the future and need again.
Hope this helps.
I'm just gonna duck for you.
http://rapidshare.com/files/21995373/8525_Keyboard_Fix_WMXL.CAB
These cabs or the registry fix are posted everywhere on this forum and I am still amaze on how many people failed to look for them.
Edit: Between the time I posted originally to now I did a search for "8525 keyboard" then read the first couple of threads, got interrupted a few times, and came up with this http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XDA_Live_Extras
Now I understand how the flaming begins....
I agree, kinda funny, seems to be the same requests all the time. I guess I am kinda lucky, I have some extra time throughout my day to read. That and I don't want to damage my investment.

I know you have just joined and you are new to all this, but hey............come on, just look through threads, search and read a bit, you could have got ripped to shreds but tonight I am in a good mood!
EDIT: Can a mod lock this thread to save a poor souls life!
Hey, you folks don't know where a guy can grab some magic fairy dust which will make my 8525's keyboard magically delicious, do you?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Seriously, though. I have, from time to time, been put out by the old-timers here going off on the newbies for asking questions the answers to which can be, relatively, easily found. However, this damn keyboard cab issue keeps popping up on a daily basis and I refuse to believe any one of these guys ever search for the info.
Mind you, I'm not completely guilt-free. I MAY HAVE popped in a question or two in an active forum when everyone was patting each other on the nuts and happy with a new ROM release. But, I did look, damnit. And, by the way, old-timers, none of you have answered my question about how to make the thumbnail pic bigger on the dialer. NONE of ya! Yet, you all jump to answer that damn keyboard cab question!

Thanks guys and sorry for asking for already known issue.
I am new to this board but not to forums so I feel you on the dumb questions.
I have been lurking for about two weeks - guess I missed the keyboard issue.
Thanks again for the help and for Black. Don't let A##hats like me keep you from releasing new ROMs.

Hi, there is not an answer to that one as far as I know, I can't see how a reg edit would work as I think the dialer is made all in one and then loaded into the rom (don't quote me!).
The only thing I can suggest is a magnifying glass!
Seriously though PM swampy he might be able to help.
I have the 8525 and would love to have the best rom ever especially while this new iphone is coming out. Is there a rom out there that has the best 3D effects for the phone or is someone working on a rom like that. because if we can get are 8525 to have the 3D effects I think that there won't be any phone that can touch ares. the iphone and the new touch phone, that's the only thing '3D effect' they have on us... please let's make everyone know why we are sticking with are 8525's. Thank You!
What the heck please obey forum rules and use the SEARCH FUNCTION
searching forums
I've installed so many ROMS, searched the forums. I know what he means. We've all see the youtube demo of the flashy screen changes. I think I have the perfect rom then its not. Reinstalling new roms and restoring the 50+ apps sucks every time. Yeah, I have SPB backup, but it's worthless on apps with new registry settings.
I've been using modded roms way back on many phones for SEVERAL years. The Iphone will be the best / current phone out. Can't wait till we crack into it. (I know everyone is excited about this.)
I personally use my PDA/phone for business and need everthing to work, and keep on working.
Currently 8525.
I still am craving a true VGA phone with a 850 GSM. The QVGA seems stuck as the main choice.

umm... speak for yourself BigBad... I'm not excited about the iphone at all.. My 8525 does everything it does pluse more. Videos and music? yah we can do that... oh missing the 8gig or whatever? so what, i use orb and have access to my network hard drive in my house which lets me view/listen to 120 gigs of videos/music
The iphone i see it is for consumer whores... Did u see the demo on installed apps through safari? they skip!
i think its a worthless device put together by a briliant team that knows how to suck every penny out of mr. and mrs. average joe!
And NO i am not one of those apple hating windows hard core freaks. I'm currently writing this on my macbook with my hermes connected to windows xp which is running on my macbook through parallels.... i have the best of both worlds and don't see an iphone entering mine anytime soon!
The Iphone
you guys forgot to mention its only 2g!! Only wifi i-net connect, nuff said!!!!!
i'm so sorry being a noob, but honestly i searched and searched every where but i can not find a rom with 3D effects. Maybe you guys are miss understanding me on this...i know they have the rom that has the touch rom and iphone rom 'look a like' but it does not do what the touch htc and iphone does like when the screen turns around and things like that. the only reason i wrote this post was maybe someone can at lease point me in the right place...i currently have black 3.0 and love it.... again i search every where everyday and that's why decided to do this post. don't get me wrong i love everybody's hard work on the roms they do that is amazing, so i'm not dissing anyone...i just wanted the 8525 to be the best that it can be and hopefully have a lot of 3D effects.....SORRY

TouchFlo on Hermes
I Phone not up to Par
The i-phone device thing is inferior in many ways. The only thing it has on the Hermes is that it looks really cute and colorful. The processor on it is only 300 mhz, why go backwards, only 2g. Connectivity-wise not even, please. But again it is cute looking.
My theory...
You know, what if posts like this current thread
as well as posts like this:

are actually people working for MS trying to piss off the chefs enough so that they will stop sharing their ROMs? Just a thought.
Hate to bring life to a dead thread...but will the hermes ever support touchflo? Is it a hardware limitation?

In the Wizard forum we have gotten a hold of a working wizard rom with touch flo working in it. Ie the cube application with touch spinning it along with the scrolling feature. So I would assume it won't be long before this is ported to the hermes and many other devices...
well if it has already been tested on the hermes where can we download it?

Hello all, i'm new here, and this is one of my first post, i've seached a bit around the net about some programs that help to make music with my HTC but i'ven't found too much stuff, or really intresting stuffs, so invite everyone to fill this thread with composing,playing and attinent programs
i start from here:
PocketAxe Guitar http://pocketaxe.com/
... any batteries, xylophone, piano, or violin maybe ?
Didn't get it to work
hehe, that's really, really funny idea how do you imagine a program that teaches you to play the violin? sorry, but I'm a professional violinist and I can tell you that nothing could ever replace a teacher, not with violin. perhaps it works with guitar a little better, just learning the chords, but belive me, violin is REALLY hard at the beginning... I found a tuning program, if you're interested, called TuneIt and is quite helpful. and I can say, it works also really good^^ what I search is a good metronom program, any ideas? many greets, cad^^
Indeed, about the violin, i was joking
obviously i was thinkg about some stupid program to entertain friend when we are at pub, or something like that :-\
currently we havent a multitouch, or at least the same and fast response like an iPhone, so we can just play simple instrument, but if it made it good, can be fun ^^
Hi
it just occured to me that XDA is using the vBulletin license and as a owner of vBulletin myself, I know how 'easy' it is to make a personalized theme for the forum.
So what I want to say here is really just: Why don't you have a more graphic theme already? The options for vBulletin is soooo extensive, and you could still use the current theme as a standard.
When I see this forum, owning the HD2, I get an urge to have it converted to an as glossy style as the Sense 2.5 UI.
Can't anyone make a theme for this forum? I see there are some plugins added to the script so modding the standard forum may not be enough.. so I guess you need a bit of authorization.. (or maybe a copy of the current theme-file could be enough)
BTW: I really don't want to give it a shot myself as I tend to get too caught up in projects like that, forgetting to eat, smoke, drink, go to the bathroom and so on d:
PS! A good idea might be to make a frontpage of the forum split in half (if you go to forum.xda-developers.com, the root, and maybe just for first time users), demonstrating both designs, and to enter the site you have to click the half you want to set for the forum.. or something. A more fresh look could bring more users.....
