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?

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)...
Hi everyone,
The last few days i have problems whit Windows Mobile Live Messenger. . .
It wil not synchronise the personal settings like display name, personal message, and display picture. . .
When i will set it up manual at my phone i get a error.
(There was a problem processing your request).
And it's only on the phone the same account works great on my Desktop PC.
My msn adress not @msn.com or @hotmail.com but my own domain.
But i think that's not the problem.
Are there more people whit the same problem, or does someone know
how to fix it?
Thanks in advance. . . .
Sorry for my bad english.
Live Messenger Problem
First, do not apologize for your 'bad' english... It really isn't that bad.. If it isn't your native tongue (and I suppose that it's not), then you are doing better than a great portion of the people who use it as their native tongue...
With that said, Windows Messenger on your device only synchronizes with the hotmail or msn accounts.. I have had this problem for some time and have yet to find an answer for it.. It did however, bring up my list of friends with whom I have saved to my "live account".. It may just be a matter of time before some creative programmer decides enough is enough and will create a registry entry or cab file that will allow you to change what the default domains are to synchronize those contacts... It sounds easy, but then, I'm no programmer...
Thanks for ur answer. . . .
I have used the same account [email protected] before
and that works. . . .
Only a few days ago i get that error. . .
I tryed all the roms from the wiki page and on all the different roms i get that error.
Is there a way to get the latest WMLM maybe that solves the problem?
And how can i see the version number of my current WMLM?

Sorry, but I really don't know the answers to those questions, but I came across another thread about the personal settings... Newer version of WMLM does not resolve the problem... Inside it was suggested that if you remove your contact picture, some of the other features may work... Don't know if that is your problem, but http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308275
Messenger Problem behoben
Sorry for my extrem bad english.
But i know the reason for this Problem. In your Account Settings (in the Web) you must clear all Settings, your Picture, your Name.
If this happend, your mobile device kann change anything.
Hier nochmal auf Deutsch, vielleicht kann das ja jemand mal übersetzen:
In den Einstellung des Accounts im Internet (http://login.live.com/) müssen im Profil/Erscheinungsbild die Bilder und die Angaben im Namen leer bleiben.
I know that 4.1 is only just out & I think it's brilliant. I'm spending every evening checking new posts and playing with my phone like never before. So, before the 4.1 thread becomes the next thread with 1200 posts, I thought I'd start a new thread for ideas for 4.2
Tom - before I found the magic that is B&B I was using Wisbar Advance desktop and an application called innesoft address book which had a great feature that when someone called you, their photo was displayed full screen with their name (see thumbnails) rather than just the standard windows window.
Any chance you could devlelop something similar for 4.2 !!!
Cheers

Here is something that may hold you over, I am still trying to figure out how to use the caller id without the actual slide to unlock, bit here is something to tide you over, jsut a thought
Have a pretty much full screen keyboard for texting in landscape mode? The text appears at the top?
Is there a way we can assign a button to lock the phone rather than go thruogh the menu?
Cheers
Anybody knows if it is legal to include trial versions of apps in cooked rom?
Was thinking rom with included sktools, english dictionary of some kind, IM+, resco explorer, spb gprs monitor included on rom would save time and space. Apps included would be trial versions and ppl haveing bought them could just enter activation keys/serials, others could buy app if thy liked it.

This would be a waste of time and energy for most, these Roms are made to be efficient, the least amount of space used so that you as an individual can place your desired programs, once a rom is built there is no removing/uninstalling of any apps, hence the reason to not put trial versions into a rom, I use several of the above mentioned, but to "Bloat" a rom with them would be ineffecient. Best thing to do is install on your sd card, keep all your initial install cabs in one folder and use that as your rebuild folder. Cheers.

Is it not worth remembering that everyone has a different list of killer apps they MUST have on their device?
If Tom & Meschle etc added every app - the rom would only just fit on a 40gb hard disk!!!
To my mind - the idea is that the cooked roms are a basis onto which you install your own apps to make your own device work?
Constanlty asking for new apps to be added to a rom just complicates the issue. Or am I wrong?
something so i can remotly use my desktop via PPC
then im complete
automated network setup like in the O2 WM6 Premium 1.0 WWE rom
Extended timers & alarms application
I'd like to avoid installing SpbTime on each version
Great job!
OK, i agree, rom should be as slim as possible, but why the hell there is cube, psshutXP, PHM regedit/traylaunch, and office mobile on it then?
Could make an ultra lite wersion. (=
P.S. Dont get me wrong, i think 4.1 is great and it is a lot faster than O2. Just throwing around ideas about how to make it better.
with my original post, I was not really asking for a copy of the app, just would like a much bigger photo to pop up with caller id and liked the look of the inesoft one.
Tom - what do you think?
Just trying to make the ROM easier to use, more efficient.
B&B 4.1 is far better than original ROM from this point of view
TouchFlo for example helps to have everything we need with a single finger move..
Phone app is a lot more usable also.
Perhaps also the possibility to customize HTC Home by default, with more options (number of apps in the launcher, ..)
i don't think that is constructive to add as much apps, i can imagine, when it's released, everbody is shouting "this is not good" and "why did you use this app and not the other one"...and so one. I like it clear, not too much apps...but that's my opinion.
If i want it with all apps included then i start (to learn ) cooking my own ROM... IMHO i am very satisfied with the work that Tom is doing for us all. And 4.1 is just released. Enjoy it and let Tom make a break. He is hard working all the time!
Plugins for new version
Alarms extension (SpbTime style)
USB PenDrive emulator (WMstorage style)
Phone call recording (Audio Recorder style)
Thanks for B&B! Great job!
i have a great idea
Why dont we support Tom and all off his hard work and all the other wizards here, and stop complaining or asking for more.
like a bunch of kids in a sweet shop.
Improving File access
What I would like to see is the File Dialog Changer, I don't know who has heard of it but it is very good! Usually when you want to save files or open them in any application you get access to you My Documents folder. Only some smart apps like TCPMP and others have the option to access your entire pda.
File Dialog Changer changes the way you access your files in opening and saving them for every application, it's just 50 KB and you can activate / deactivate it in System Settings.

And about your wish I can only say that there is already Remote Desktop for WM6, I think I've downloaded it in the Wizard forum. Or use PocketVNC, that is the pda version for VNC. I am successfully using that with TightVNC on my computer. I just have to be in range of my WLAN and can turn on my computer by sending a wake on lan signal (not with vnc) and then access my computer through pocketvnc or access the files on my computer.

I think he had a point though. In the whole thread there is not one message of Tom Codon himself. Did you ask what he thinks? Maybe he has a few ideas of his own? After all, it will be his ROM...
Who says it will be B&B v4.2? Why not 4.3 or 5.0? If there will be another version let him take care of the numbers.
Hello,
Just a quick question I couldnt find an answer to on the board:
Im not particulary happy with the thumbnails of the spped dial that opera mobile 10 generates from websites. How can I replace them with better images, lets say a logo of the site which was made in photoshop?
--edit--
Ah I just found out the thumbnails are located in:
Opera Mobile 10/profile/datastorage/6/ and are called IMG0.dat
renaming them in IMG0.png lets you open them on the pc. Im trying now to replace the image with my own graphic and rename it back to IMG0.dat then put it back in the Opera folder on the phone.
--edit2--
So it turns out it really works like that, somewhat.
Although the new thumbnail gets cut off eventhough I used the same dimensions as the original.
I attached a screenshot of the original thumbnail, the new one and the image I created in Photoshop
Dear Fana7ic!
I'm using Opera Mobile 10.00 on my Nokia E66, but I can't find the IMG0.dat file anywhere on my phone. Could you help me please, where to look for it, ot how to change the thumbnails on the speed dial page?
Thank you!
Daumen hoch!
Thumb up!
Danke! Genau nach dieser Antwort habe ich gesucht...
Hello there,
i am a app developer and wont to post a Topic for a community project? the one app is i think a little bit here known, it's name is BadaSI maybe someone know it,
the source code of this app is free to all developers, only the whole programm shouldn't be reconstructet, the images of the app are from an designer and he don't wont that someone use them.
The second app is voluntas and is currently at developement. It is usefull for developers to have such a topic for an app and have a better and faster way to fix bugs, cause the users can post every time things that are not going very well.
i have made some mistakes as Moderater there and decided to leave this site, and a friend of mine has said this would be a good one.
Is it possible or not?
it is possible of course
welcome my friend to XDA-developers
there is a plenty of testers right here will help you with your app and i am the first one
count me on your journey
waiting for others to welcome our new developer
BTW what was your mistake please??
I had a wrong going disussion with a user on badanation.de, and at least i decided to punish myself from there, it was easy becouse i was a moderator also there and in the dev-team one of the leaders, adfree has brought me here, he showed me the forum since the release of badaSI and made a Topic for the App. I have written many bad things and a moderator should be more friendly. It hadn't any sense to stay there.
This Forum is nice and I hope we will make some usefull apps for the whole community.
I must wait for 10 posts that i can add my Topics then in the developement section.
I am happy that i found a new forum and can start my line only as developer.
Yes. I hope that more users develop bada Apps.
As we can see Themes now very often in Store... much more then Games.
It's time to change this.
Best Regards
adfree also wirklich erst verabschieden dann begrüßen
we will i think get a nice time here. erzähl drüben nicht wo ich jetzt bin, hat seine gründe.
welcome aboard mate
good developers are never too many
im tired of looking at samsung new apps, and find only themes (most of them rubbish and overpriced i must say), app links to newspapers, calendars and task managers that bring nothing new, bibles, clocks (ive seen simple clocks priced at 4 or 5 euros...come on... a simple clock...wtf is that?)
really good and useful apps are still scarce or too expensive (at least compared to android and apple appstore)
with a good developers base i can foresee some good ideas taking shape as apps, or even "porting" good apps from other systems
my 2 cents
Welcome my friend. O must say that your badasi app is really good. For those who don't know about their wave, it gives a lot of information. May I ask what your second app is and what it does? Also is it possible that you could make an ebook reader (which could at-least support .epub format) for bada? That's one big thing that bada badly misses. Please don't think I am pressurizing you. If you can't no worries. Just asking....
Second App is a browser named "Voluntas".
More from larioteo to fill his 10 posts soon.
Auch von mir herzlich willkommen bei XDA. Freu mich schon
auf neue Versionen. Ich blick zwar nicht durch was bei BN passiert
ist aber ich muß es auch nicht wissen. Haupsache man
weiß wo du steckst.
voluntas
hi there,
glad that voluntas project goes on! and thx for PM with link here.
and one question about badaSI - how should i understand the RAM part?
i see:
app limit 57MB
app used 7MB
app free 50MB
where is the rest of RAM? did you find out how much RAM does wave actually have? still not sure about that. no information to google some say 256MB some 512, did u make any progress with this?
welcome mate.. i am already using ur Voluntas browser and its awesome much better than pretty useless dofin 2.2 which lacks fullscreen.. only a few improvements and it will be the BEST
btw previously you promised to explain how to remove voluntas better than clicking minus in menu, so we can find out, if the problem with app crashing will remain..
Yes, let us combine what is different to others, !?
The problemed happened to some peaple not to everybody and with the new installer, what language are you using?
have you the old batch script from me? we could test it with it, i removed it from my hd, and don't remember anymore how i did it
BadaSI RAM:
The App Limit shows the max Value the App cans allocate after starting, this value depends on the Amount of System RAM, a App normaly becomes 73 - 74 MB for its own. When the RAM is fragmented the App becomes less RAM.
This mean if the App Limit are much lower or below 50 MB you will get a lot RAM errors while surfing with Dolfin or trying to start a big game.
It is an indicator when the System RAM is to much fragmented and than it is time to restart the Phone.
I hope i could explain it right in enlish as i am trying
I´ve got it here...if it´s useful?
We will see but i think yes thank you very much, could you try it kazelos? you must only use the y9... folder and replace it with the Voluntas folder in App from te_chnix postet.
It could be that by you the other Installer don't copies a file, it is based on .Net Framework, and a such error could everything be.
Here is the link to the Voluntas Development Topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088900
The other from badaSI will come soon, i am working on it, a little problem is my english is a little bit rusted trought the time
so, i didnt understand well probably. i downloaded his folder, connected thru stune, deleted all files there and copied from that downloaded folder. but voluntas now doesnt work. some files are different, so it wasnt simple replacement. i will send you a link to pm with my voluntas folder for you to look at it. i dont know if there are some passwords saved or something, so i hope you are discrete. after you download it, i will erase it from server.
here a fixed version for you with the old installer, if it works for you i will add it to the voluntas topic
Na wer hätte das denn gedacht ;-)
Na Tom Hallo, die Welt scheint wirklich ein Dorf zu seien
