How to get these.....

Alright I have loaded ROM's onto my phone but I am still pretty new to this, I am wondering if anyone can take the time to walk me through of how to get Home Screen's like these (the first one and the red one on PG1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378000
Thank you very much for any help you are willing to give.
P.S. what ever help I get I will be more then happy to give to other begginner's.

The big clock is called HTC Home and that's fairly easy to find, just make a simple search for it. The tray on the bottom looks like PHM Trays which you can get from PHM Tools.

Did you bother reading the thread or are you the type to look at pics and ask for help, right off the bat?

Actually I did take the time to read a lot of the post's but as I said in my first post I am pretty new to this stuff and a lot of the talk was quite confusing to me because of the short form's and such so program's and stuff like that.
Like I said before, I am just looking to see if some one has the time to help me, not looking for people to chirp about how new I am and such. Thank you.

Alright so I have read the first like 11 pages and no where in there have I found how to get those 2 Home Screen's running on my Dash?
Please help

As for the Red Carousel theme....go here.
Download the needed cabs in the bottom of his first post and read his install instructions.
As for the HTC home, if you READ where to get it from its in his first thread also...
- HTC Home
http://depositfiles.com/en/files/3306160
Download that cab.
Once you've downloaded the cabs...you transfer them to your phone using Active sync. Place them in your documents folder. Using your phone Resco Explorer program direct yourself to the My Documents folder and click on the cabs to install them.
If asked where to install them, pick Main memory (phone itself) not the memory card.
DO NOT UNZIP or UNRAR the CAB files.
After the cabs are installed. REBOOT.
Once rebooted, Click on start->settings->Home Screen->Home screen layout
Once there, choose which home screen...you'd like to have.
Done

Thank you for the help, I have one question though, I downloaded the courosel theme and unzipped it to a folder and then I copied to my from through My Computer (I'm not sure if that matter's?) but when I selected the Courosel theme in Home Screen, the text messages and voicemail stuff look's all messed up? Is that because I unzipped the file?
Another question came up....
I dled the LCD clock and unzipped it, copied the folder to my phone and then went to Resco Explorer and clicked the Setup.xml and it did a bunch of stuff, I thought it installed but then when I rebooted my phone nothing happened?

DO NOT UNZIP or UNRAR the CAB files.
Jesus man
the lcd plugin is a CAB
If you need help anymore this member (Gixxum) is the man to go to.

Alright thank you very much, I didn't realize that that was a cab file since I have never worked with a cab before.
I installed the cab. and got a message saying that I may need an older version of WM?
I then rebooted and the LCD clock was not there?

I couldnt edit again so I has to do another post, the problem I was having was just that I didn't go to the background image and change it to courosol.
thank you.

No matter how big or what colors we use people seriously have selective reading. lol

actually I read that a few times but I was not sure what a cab file was.
Funny how much you care about the mistakes I made instead of helping haha.
Thanks everyone.

alright I have one more question and I thought I would post it here instead of opening another thread. When I am using txt messaging and I sent a txt (I will use this as an example) at 8:01 PM and some one sends me a txt back in the same minute it will say that they replyed at 7:01 PM. It always says one hour earlier for replys? I have searched through options but I cannot seem to find where to change it?
Thank you ahead of time.

Are you sure your time is right? Go to settings --clock & alarm-- and scroll to where on earth you are. Do a reset try that.

I checked the times man and NOTHING! this is kind of brutal, it's not like it's a huge problem but it's just ******* frustrating, any ideas guys?

Whats the time difference on the clock?

Excalibur in 96 DPI: Finally A Semi-Working Solution (Testing Purposes Only)

Hello Guys,
Finally, we have an almost working solution. A member has posted a .cab that changes your DPI from 131 to 96 DPI.
It works ! I have personally tested it myself. However, it still needs work done.
This looks great but it still needs some minor work done. If I do come across any solutions, I will keep you guys posted. If you guys come across anything, please post here so we can figure this one out.
Setup Instructions:
1) Run the WM6.1-131to96dpi.CAB file
2) when it asks for you to restart, do not restart.
3) Click Start, Accessories and run Command Processor, and click the "..." button.
4) Go to Menu, Browse Folder, and select the folder where you put the dpi.ccs file.
5) Now you will see the dpi file, and then go ahead and run it.
6) Wait for it go back to the homescreen and then reboot your phone.
Uninstall Instructions:
1) Start > Settings > Remove Programs
2) Select .CAB (131 to 96 dpi)
3) Click Remove Program
---------
Issues:
1) Programs in storage card - do not run OR files are missing
2) Rinku's Iconbar is slightly cut off from the bottom
3) Smart tool kits "start" button is misaligned
4) Wallpaper is slightly cut off from the bottom
5) NRG Miniweather - Date & Day are not properly aligned either
6) Pocket Nester Plus not working (maybe due to ROMs stored on storage card)
ATTENTION: PROGRAMS ON SD CARD ARE NOT WORKING, NOR ARE MY IMAGES FOR MYFAVES SHOWING UP. HOWEVER, STORAGE CARD SEEMS TO WORK.I UNINSTALLED IT AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE.
I am posting screenshots for you guys and I have attached the .zip (which includes .cab and dpi.ccs) for you to download. The experts out there, use this as foundation and see if you can fix it for our phones.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER: USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. FOR NOW, THIS IS STRICTLY FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE OR ERASE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR DEVICE.
Credit goes to falleny for posting this .cab and pudgedaddy for instructions on how to fix dpi.ccs - Great Job!
Best Regards,
lukybandit

thanks for your updated screenshot...
try to delete lcd.ttf and plumsip5.dll from your windows folder
if it still have problem, i may ask the guy who make this cab

pudgedaddy said:
One thing i have a question with is how does this behave when using PIE or Opera Mobile or Opera Mini? or other applications such as games ?
Secondly, now un-installable is this app? If it's not something i want to use at this point, am i at the point of no return without hard-reset?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i can sure this is safe and uninstallable...have a try, if u don't like it...just uninstall it...from your setting menu

aiight it works fine...if u have LCD installed and use medium or larger format in Opera it won't look right. and yea...other than that...seems to be working fine...another note.
dpi.css.zip has to be renamed to dpi.css and then in CeleCMD you have to make it so it can see all files then u can run dpi.css...at least that is what i did. and all works fine.
edit: Or that.

works great...few issues...the messaging icons are a bit messed up...in celetask the 'reboot, shutdown, etc' icons are a bit messed up...hmmm...picture viewer is acting funny....and i cant access folders on my storage card just the storage card itself.

What's the purpose of lowering the dpi?

Please Check Post 1
I have fixed the dpi file by renaming dpi.css to dpi.ccs as well as unzipped it into the ZIP folder in first post. Thank you pudge for the instructions
Now you can follow the instructions and it should work as shown but there are still some minor issues except one being major that is SD programs are not working. I don't know how to fix this. If anyone comes across any fixes, please post here.

another issue...PocketNesterPlus not working (ROMS are stored on storage card so that may be the issue) get :
Error
_____________________
can not open or Mapper not supported

Thank you, and thanks to everyone that worked on this. I have been waiting for this for a while.
I was going to install it earlier today but i was getting a corrupt message from the dpi.css; Im glad you updated it very quickly.
If anyone is running Rickywatts vanilla ROM, you can find the command processor in "My Tools". Just a heads up.

Dang it, that sucks cause I got guitar hero three on my SD card... What the heck...

this is a great day thank you for your hard work. I tried this myself but my WM kung-fu is lacking anyone else?

First of all, thanks to all the developers and researchers responsible for making this happen.
Second, I'm getting the following error when I try to Install the cab (I open the cab, the progress bar goes all the way 'till its end the this is displayed):
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions".
Is anybody else getting the same error and/or knows what should I do to get past it? I really want to try this...
BTW, my excalibur is app unlocked already (surreal networks app used).
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

I really like the way this looks, but is there anything i can do to make the text a bit bigger?
Im running WM6.1 and the small text is somewhat hard to read.

Sorry guys if this is a repitive question, but what is the purpose of lowering the dpi? I have read post one Lukybandit, but it doesn't say what the benefit is.
Would someone mind posting a few reasons why this mod is desired?
Thanks.

Although i personally wouldn't recommend installing this at the moment ( issues with the storage card and alignment issues)
basically this works similarly to increasing your screen resolution on your PC.(minus the actual resolution changing) meaning it fits more stuff on your devices display since it shrinks down what is placed on your screen.

Hey,
Sorry, that post wasn't directed at you.
The only benefit I can see from this is what pudgedaddy said. By lowering the dpi, you are able to fit more things onto the screen and i guess it looks cleaner. Like that of a pc. I hope that answers your question.

That's great. Appreciate the info. Sounds like a fun mod. Will give it a try when you guys say it's ready .

man - great find. this would be so awesome if we can get the storage card isue working. the extra screen real estate is great for contacts, texts, damn near everything.
works as advertised and uninstalls perfectly.

Anyone have any progress with any of the issues? So far, I haven't been able to dig into it.
This thread is especially for people who showed deep interest in this project. I suggest you start testing, post feedback and try and find solutions since this has been made possible for those who wanted this.
Good Luck and Keep Us Posted.

Hi!
I'm willing to test it, but i can´t get around the problem i posted before:
"I'm getting the following error when I try to Install the cab (I open the cab, the progress bar goes all the way 'till its end the this is displayed):
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions".
I've already checked my phone's registry for any lock on the policies, but it's effectively unlocked, and other cabs/apps signed and unsigned install without any problem... BTW, I'm using Ricky's wm6.1 v23 ROM...
Can someone give me some help on this? I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance and cheers.

CPR File editing

To start off, I want to say I have used the search function. I have been google'ing and searching the entire xda forums for well over 2 days, and i just can't find anything. Maybe i am google/searching incorrectly.
Anyways...
I was wondering if either someone could describe how the CPR file works in terms of tags like FORM, LAYER, etc. (not those two because they are self-explanitory, but along those lines). Also does anyone know what all the possible tags that can be used in that file are? I am sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have searched for tutorials, sdk notes, CPR file structure, everything i can think of, and I have yet to get an actual guide (although I did find a couple of cool Apps to use for customizing CPR files visually)...
Thank you in advance

New to Windows Phone

Hi all, as the title states, I'm new to the windows phone fam. I just found this place and it seems to be an awesome source for all kinds of things. I'm just a little overwhelmed with all the different things available. I want to do a few things with my phone (like different themes and apps) but have no idea how to even go about installing them on the phone. I tried to find somewhere that said how to add them but no luck. Is there a previous thread here that shows how to go about adding apps from this website onto the phone?
Also, I know that the tilt 2 comes with a built-in youtube viewer but I can't find it for the life of me. Does anyone know if ATT took it off the phone or am I just not looking in the right spots?
Thanks in advance, hope to learn a lot from everyone.

Welcome!
The best starting place is the 'read first' thread. It'll point you to the search feature (works very well) and the Wiki, where useful info a plenty can be found.
The link for youtube viewer is in the \Windows folder, just copy the link (it's a .lnk file) from there to somewhere in your \Windows\StartMenu\Programs folder.

Thanks for your help, got it to work just fine!

New Commands To access Icon files in Systemroot

Read my erlier post on this for more info on how I found it, but heres my new commands I have found. I have tried them and they seem to work for me. I want someone else to try them also and see if they work for them.
Commands:
1. %systemroot%\system32\wpd_ci.dll,-100
Im looking into more and I will post when I get them. Let me know what you see if/when you try this commands! Also go into the phones Browser to do this.

whats this supposed to do?

Honestly I am not sure Im going to do a further search and test of commands like this. The string though and the fact that when you put it in your browser it actually pulls something up that isnt a webpage is rather puzzeling because I get a blank screen.

hmm... yeah it's a little strange that it doesn't bing it like it does other stuff. my first thought was that the string was too long or had invalid characters but it just bings everything else.
how exactly did you find this?

Here's step by step:
1.Plug in kin to a windows 7 PC.
2.open devices and printers.
3.open kin properties.
4.open advanced.
5.scroll down the list of info and file pathes.

gr8t
I approve this stuff.
Unfortunately, i have not my kin beside me atm, so i cannot have a peek right now (doh!).
Hoping that we would be able to figure out new stuff.
I would want to read from the samsung memory chip too, but that's outta my reach for now hehehehe.

I can possibly look into the Samsung chip...Awesome find though huh? Glad I tore apart my old one

I have been looking for more in the windows device center without much luck I have a couple other ideas since this things commands seem to be like windows. im going to try %appdata% and others like it when i can.

It isnt a command, sillies.
%systemroot%\system32\wpd_ci.dll,-100 is not a command.
its an icon file path.
%systemroot% looks in the system root folder (Windows)
system32 looks in the folder "system32"
wpd_ci.dll is the dll containing the icon and when you add ,-100
wpd_ci.dll,-100 tells it to grab the icon id-ed as 100 from the dll file wpd_ci.dll
also, just because it has 100 does not mean there are 100 icons in the file. 100 is the icon ID.
example: %SystemRoot%\system32\wpdshext.dll,-701
in wpdshext.dll there is not 701 icons, but only about 9 or 10. BUT, the 701 reffers to a specific icon id-ed as 701 in that file.
UPDATE:
here are images that demonstrate my point. (must rebuild links)
this shows that in wpd_ci.dll there is only 1 icon, so we can assume its id is 100 as referred to by the ,-100.
i.imgur com/7UtnG.jpg
this second image shows that the icon it referred to is used for the device icon with device manager, because, as you can see in the image, my kin shows up in device manager with the icon.

This is old. So old it was from when I was still a semi-noob on XDA. I haven't even been on the Kin forums in over a year. We arent getting anywhere with this phone unfortunately. I'm just watching and waiting for a breakthrough, then I might get back in on this.

I wouldnt be so accusing. Many people have worked long and hard here I dont think everyone (or most people) are wrong about much.
