Replacing the "Stripes Screen" - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hello Smart Friends...
Recently i've made a downgrade to WM2003SE (to do a resize on my storage). Now i have WM6.5 (thanks XPlode!)
When i was with the WM2003 i saw the "Stripes Screen" was replaced by a carrier operator (TIM)...
After do the upgrade to WM6.5 this screen was back to "stripes"
My Question is: how to replace this screen??
I know there are more two screens after that, and these i know how to change, but the "striped screen" not!

.
Sorry, but that is impossible, because the stripes are part of the install program of wm newer than 2003...
And it is, like it is, from the time when wm5 was first time succesful instaled to Blue Angel...
And at the moment no one now how to change the stripes to any other image... (beside installing wm 2003 ).

and it is not really an image stuff, much like a boot screen it could be just values (color values) that enable those colors. And besides, it checks whether there is something wrong with your LCD.

Yes... I know, but would be cool if we can put a image there, like the WM2003 do

how do I get rid of the T-Mobile Branding on MDA Pro?

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

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 ?????

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.

How To Change loading Circle? (wait cursor)

Hello all,
I haVe HTC P4350 wm5 and i wanna change the loading cyrcle with the 4 coulors is that possible?i would prefer if i had a loading bar or smthing else exept this gay cyrcle any Ideaaaaazzzz?
Thanks For your Time
it's called "wait cursor" or "busy cursor" most places if you want to find more google prob got some up it's sleve
http://www.handango.com/ampp/store/...377&sectionId=5797&catalog=30&topSectionId=-1
Unfortunately this is not going to work for WM 5.
This cursor is a recourse in shellres.dll (if I am not mistaking). VJ once posted a site here that offered tons of replacements (even a hamster), but the problem is - since this is a system file in WM 5 it needs to be signed.
So you would have to edit security settings on your device, install a certificate and sign the file with this certificate.
You can find the info on how to do this if you search but it is a bit tricky.
Good luck.
Dah..that seems complicated..:/ anyone kn0w if this waiting cyrcle changes at wm6??
xQlusive - if you post is a question, please try to put a question mark in the title, not a !. Otherwise it looks like you know how to change the circle and want to tell everyone, which is clearly incorrect.
WM6 has a different wait cursor, the Vista style round circles IIRC.
It can be changed, but of the three ways I can think of, none are particularly easy due to the increased security in WM5 and 6. If you're a newbie, it might not be worth the effort.

i780 - screen problems after uninstalling RealVGA

Hi all,
first, I'm new here
I tried to search this forum for my problem (and other webstes, too) but so far I haven't found anything.
I recently installed RealVGA. After some issues, mainly problems with the screen keyboard which does not work with 96 dpi and has alot of problems under 128 dpi, I decided to uninstall it. After that, my screen was completely messed up - first of all, the welcome screen was white (ok I could live with that) but then my screen resolution was huuuuge and the device more or less unusable (see attached screenshots). I couldn't figure out how to fix this without creating even more problems....does anyone have an idea what I could do? I would prefer not to do a hard reset...
I have a Samsung i780 with Windows Mobile 6 Professional German. The RealVGA file I used is named RealVGA.ARM.cab
Anybody any ideas?? I figure it has something to do with the re-setting of the dpi...bo...
Thanks alot in advance!!
Best Regards,
Caroline

You can try reinstall RealVGA but I am afraid you should make a hard reset or flash a new working rom like EFN's 96 dpi PXIHH5 it works fine and you can install new shell like this from my unit:http://sghi780.extra.hu/m2d.htm

HD highlight issue.

Hi guys,
I seem to have a small issue with my hd...
In the start menu you get the green highlight or so i've seen in clips anyway but on my hd its Grey!
I've noticed that its green like it should be when i disable tf3d but goes back to grey when its enabled,the clips i've seen of everyone else's show it works either way so whats up with my hd?
I'm not sure if this was the correct place to post but its theme related so...i hope it is.
Thanks in advance.
Lee.
EDIT: In case more info is needed.....
The handset is a week old today
Standard Orange UK Rom
Standard TF3D Skin
Standard Top and Bottom bars (HTC Black)
Changes from Stock:
Installed CF 3.5 (set as default)
Installed HDTweak
Installed HideSim Contacts
Installed Diamong Hologram (and ati driver)
Installed Google Maps
Installed CorePlayer
I don't know if any of the above could of affected it,i can't remember if it was like that to begin with.
Really don't wanna do a hard reset.
Wow,80+ views and no 1 has any idea or even advice on where to start looking?
I think i may of bought the wrong phone as people in the hermes thread couldn't wait to help when i had an issue with that.
Oh well Hard Reset time,thanks anyway.
in HD tweak item 1.11 (in category call) there is highlight color option..change that and see if it helps
let us know
try this....my went gray the other day and I changed it back. It is a lot like HD Tweak, but also has some things that it doesn't. Between the two you should be set.
Thanks guys but still no luck.
The setting in HDTweak doesn't seem to be related and i see nothing relating to the highlight colour in Advanced Config.
Its just really wierd that it works ok when touchflow isn't loaded.
Mine is also grey, and it is an Orange one as well
So it is probably a modification directly from Orange...
i remember friend bought a MDA compact IV which actually is HTC Diamond but slightly modified and it is a TMobile...and all of the settings were different...
Whole touchflo was pink n stuff - tmobile theme...
So it has got something to do with it being an Orange ROM...with by Orange modified TouchFlo...
this was not much of help...but try to google something like changing manila highlight color (+ maybe Orange ROM or sumthing like that)
let us know
