i am a newb at everything. i have no idea how to edit rgb565 files, but i want a custom splash screen. could somebody either tell me how to do it, or add DK MODS in the top gray section of this splash? thanks in advance.
sorry, change of plans
i changed my boot animation to dancedroid, so i changed my boot screen to match. instructions would still be appreciated, but instead of adding DK MODS to the other one, please add it to the attached one. thanks again for all your experience.

no i do not. i seems alot of stuff for android is just for windows use. i would suggest getting vmwares virtual machine and running windows in there. it will take a while to set all the networking up on there but in the end should be worth it
thanks, and another problem
i think i might get vmwares in the future, but the price of windows 7 sickens me. i am running on a friends windows laptop right now, and have the convertor program open, but it won't let me put any rgb565 files in to be converted. thanks for all your help so far. also, do you know if vmwares costs any money itself? i'll google it...
don't have an image to customize
okey, i have read both of the links you have given me very thouroghly, but niether one tells me how to convert an rgb565 to an img or a jpg in order to customize it. is it as simple as doing all the command prompts in reverse? thanks once again
I jailbreaked my HD7 with Chevronwp7. Finally, because i had some problems. I want to install Touchexplorer for the beginning. I get some errors from TomXapInstaller. I've seen other gus have them too, but no solution so far.
So i have a stupid question: how to install anything using only Zune? I have no idea how to do it. And please explain it as i was an idiot, so i can understand clearly.
Cheers

I think you'll need to download and install the WP7 developer tools, as I don't think TomXapInstaller contains all the files/registry settings it needs.
Try installing this and then using either the MS Application Deployer or the TomXapInstaller.
Ok. But i'd like to know how to install xap apps using only zune. Is it possible?

Guys... I'll be posting a patched provision tool today soon as I get home.
This tool will not requires that you have a dev unlocked phone.
See you later today...
[Update]
If you have the original files, there is no reason to take the risk on tools that you dont trust. The provision tool has a check validation that only query the WP7 register to see if it is dev unlocked. The provision tool is not obfuscated. So, if you want make it work without risk. Just patch the provision tool and remove the IF() statement where the method private bool IsDevUnlocked() is called and always return true. Just recompile and run it using the same steps provided on PDF and you will be safe with the original update files, backup, and your WP7 will be safe to come back to retails version to allow you update to Mango later this year...
PS: Dont ask in this thread where to find the files... It was already spred over other posts and over internet. Just make sure you are with the original files from MS Connect and you are good to go. And remember, lots of features for consumers are not enabled right now. It is a Dev build.
[Update - Add patched provisioning file]
Ok, since some people asked me to patch the file myself, there is the link to the patched provision tool. Find yourself the other files and follow exactly same steps provided on MS pdf guide except that instead of use the original EXE that comes from MS, use the link instead. THIS PATCH IS PROVIDED AS IS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY! DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK! AND DONT FORGOT TO KEEP SAFE YOUR DEVICE BACKUP OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE STUCKED ON BETA ROM FOREVER!!!
I hope all you enjoy it.

Yes, Microsoft charges a $99 fee to become a developer, unless you are registered with Dreamspark (for students). And I'm not sure where the link is posted, but I think someone has uploaded the files. Try searching Google and XDA.
simply use this: http://windowsphonehacker.com/articles/get_the_mango_update_now._without_being_a_developer.-06-30-11
its easy, creates a backup and was done within 1 hour for me!
Looks like we need a new unlocker ... my previously sideloaded applications got revoked and I have no choice but to uninstall it.
Other than that, it's very significant upgrade to my previous 7392 Focus. Love the Facebook integration (though the chat still unusable)
* Edit : Facebook chat worked. I just realized this after one of my friend chat me.

Then there is a reference to the tool I made. I guess this is the reason for the renewed interest in the backup tool.
Scratch that, I looked at his bat file and he is using the enablebackup flag and he says in a comment it is new. I guess he hasnt updated his thread.

Has anyone done this on a device that has been un-Walshed?
is this unlocked ? .. or do we have to start over and do the reg trick to unlock mango ?
I got the following response:
The application cannot be tested for compliance for Windows Phone 7 Application Certification Requirements because it fails to launch on all Windows Phone 7 devices. The application terminates at launch.
However, I tested it on my own device and emulator, it works fine on all of them.
Here is a little background.
My app requires internet to run, if there is no internet for the phone, it will pop a message to let users know that it needs the internet and exit.
Currently, I am supporting both Nodo and Mango. Mango version has been approved already. The nodo version shares most the code of mango with 7.1 related features removed. The mango version has the title of "XXX for mango", and the nodo version has the title of "XXX for nodo". I don't know if this can be the cause of the problem. Can someone please give me some insights on this?
I am fairly certain that you shouldnt be exiting the application like that. Bring them to a screen/page that lets them retry or make the popup let them retry.
I am not sure if that was the problem tho. because my app has been like this since day 1, and mango version was recently certified too.
Well you can try to resubmit and it might pass...contact create.msdn.com support to get more info.
I did, it failed again. The only reason I can think of is that if its not an clean install, meaning update from an existing older version of the app, there might be some issues, since I changed the structure of the storages. but i don't know how to test it.
Maybe request Microsoft to provide some debug information to you?
If you install your previous version (hope you kept your versioning archived somewhere) by deploying to emulator/phone, then deploy the new version, it may act as an upgrade, and you should be able to see what is happening with debugger attached. I haven't released an upgrade to any of my apps, so I'm not too sure on this feature.
If you did change isolated storage (definitions, etc), that may be your problem (serialization/deserialization).
Try the Windows Phone Power Tools from Codeplex, it has options to 'Upgrade': http://wptools.codeplex.com/ and provides a GUI for browsing storage.
There is also an Isolated Storage Explorer as part of the SDK [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh286408(v=VS.92).aspx] that should allow you to see everything that may have changed between versions.
Please give me a thanks if this was helpful, it will be my first .
I think you really did provide the kind of help I need, but I don't know how to give you a thanks. Thanks!!! ( Not sure if this is what you meant tho)
My problem is that my app needs this type of changes, and I am willing to take the risk of asking users to reinstall it instead of just updating. Should I be able to do it?

I was thinking the 'Thanks' button that is attached to a post; kind of like receiving a badge for helping others.
As a user I'd probably be unhappy if I was asked to have to reinstall, but I guess if the update contains some good stuff and I wouldn't lose data, it isn't too difficult to uninstall/install again and is only a minor inconvenience.
Is there anyway you can code in to convert from previous storage structure to the new one since a standard WP app upgrade preserves the previous version?
I just did. Well, I just used the tool you pointed me. I first installed the old version of the app, open and close it a few times, check the setting file, making sure, it has the old structure, and i "updated" with the newer version, it opens fine, and I check the setting file, the file has the new structure. So it doesn't really prevent the app from launching. So it is not really the problem. Will you be interested in being my beta tester?
btw, i just "thanked" you in both the replies.

My app was rejected again. I am running out of ideas what I can do now.
Okay. So i thought itd be cool to be able to update to WIndows 7.8 RTM that was posted here on XDA without making a custom rom or wiping files (basically a clean easy update anyone who could push a cab to their phone can do.)
Anyways, i downloaded the RTM build and a Tango update cab to compare files with and see how to name the files and what id need.
Turns out, it was pretty straightforward at first. All the files within the cab had identical files (as far as filenames and types, except they were the 7.8 RTM versions.) within the system files folder of the rar of the RTM. so i packaged all the proper folders as cabs with the appropriate filenames (folder.version.coming.from-version.going.to.cab) and used a batch renamer to add the .pku extension to the end of the files as so to match the style of the tango cab (the tango update cab contains cabs with the .pku added on the end. once i removed .pku, making it a .cab file they open perfectly.) then i packaged all the .cab.pku files as a cab. So far so good. It looked like a WP7 update cab. THEN...
When i tried pushing the cab to my device, i learned it has to be signed...
I tried signing it with a copy of the certificate i pulled from the tango cab. No luck. need the private key.
Then i tried a certificate existing on my pc, created by zune, that i had a private key for. No go.
Created a key and certificate in MakeCer. No go.
Upon using a cab signing tool i found online for signing Windows Mobile Cabs with some generic sdk certificate, i got the error 8007000b.
Overall, my cab wont sign, idk if this works, im not very good at this stuff, and idk what im doing wrong. Can anyone help?
Perhaps sign the cab file?
Or is this all futile, and would my idea not work anyways (i figured it wouldnt hurt to try. With an update i figured worse case scenario i boot into restore mode and restore from a backup.)
Or does it have to be signedby microsoft, still making it futile?
My Update Cab (Skydrive, Public Link): http://sdrv.ms/12cw9pf
NOTE: Yes, i know the tango update was only 20 -30mb, while mine is over 180. The RTM contained more system files than the tango update, most likely due to it containing new features and OS modifications. Also, should i of excluded the EXEs from some of the folders from the cabs?

nice try , never going to work
first :
the Tango cab is a .pku , that is a DIFF Image update it is the DIFF between what is on phone and what got updated ( thats way it is so small)
second:
the 8858 DUMP is canoncial , so ist the whole flie ( thats way it is 180 mb)
third:
cab.pkr/pkg/pku Needs tobe signed with the sert on the phone ( so for stock roms this means MS Needs to sign them )
the supercab also Needs tobe signed by OEM or MS
so you did all the work for nothing

if yes i am damn sure u have learned a lot while doing this..
You can get the right files into the cab and sign it with ultrashot certificate perhaps? Ppl with custom roms can use it and your work wouldn't be a complete waste. This is assuming this cab update won't have any effect on the unlock itself

Hehe... im not so good with that stuff. The reason i tried at all is because i noticed the RTM 7.8 contained the same files as the update cab for 7.5. Problem is, i apparently require the knowledge of which files are updated (because the way i apparently had made it it would of replaced dang near every system file) as well as i have no clue on how to sign it. i noted that i couldnt sign the cab with my own signing certificate, so im at a complete loss... my apologies. (if anyone wants to take my cab and see if they can do something with it be my guest, but im not very experienced with this.)

Yes this is my first time, and i have learned some things.
A: Just because its in the RTM doesnt mean it should be in the Update cab
B: If you want to use updates on stock roms, you must have the cab signed by microsoft, so No Update For You
C: Its a pain in the rear to sign a cab with a certificate you own (at least it was for me. Still unsuccessful)
D: Windows Phone has .EXE's
E: Windows Phone has a lot of files
F: LG Has a locked bootloader (what pushed me to try this was when i learned LG's (like my quantum) cant have custom roms)

Nope. You see, the whole point would be (if I was to try would be) to make a 7.8 rom. Idgaf about the "goodness" of custom roms, and only reason I use wp7root tools is for MarketplaceSwitcher (the fixed version). I cant get 7.8 using interop unlock. I need a custom rom to get it. Problem is, LG windows phones have a locked bootloader. Translation: No custom roms. Meaning the purpose of creating a custom rom would be pointless.
That's why I attempted to make an update CAB. Those could be pushed via the cab updater method, which works with any wp7 handset, and wouldn't erase my data as well. Problem? Official roms cant be updated via cabs with anything other than Microsoft signed cabs. So my attempts were futile.
Thank goodness, though, that 7.8 should be coming to some handsets on the 30th. Im hoping some people catch those cabs and post them (because I CAN use the cab updater method, given that the packages are Microsoft signed, as stated above.):fingers-crossed:
Not sure I know what you mean by goodness of custom roms, wp7 is about as lean as you can get, its not like the good old wm days where different builds were available on different devices an full of stuff, or android where its full of crap, if its just to restore with some apps preinstalled then make a Zune backup and restore from that when You need to

What the person meant and that I was referring to by "goodness of custom roms" is that some WP7 roms have all the Nokia goodies baked in and can run software that regular WP7 cant due to software restrictions. Such as some include the Nokia drivers and files to run City Lens and use Camera Extras. The nokia extras, even though they can be installed on any windows phone (granted you have root tools and marketplace switcher to access the "Nokia Collection"), some require special drivers and files in order to work (including Bluetooth file transfer, which uses extra APIs and drivers not included out of the box by Microsoft for the upcoming 7.8).
All of which may achievable in the near future, bar pre installed apps of course, but the running of custom drivers may be possible, and as I said, install what you want, back it up and boom, your own rom ready should you need to format

and like I said, all I want is the new home screen, rebranded tiles, and extra themes. Cant do that using apps.
Though the Nokia's should be getting the 7.8 update through zune tomorrow, so if someone could obtain the cab, ill be good. I don't want a rom anymore anyways. (I only would of wanted one in December. but now learning 7.8 is coming out tomorrow (albeit to specific devices) means I don't want to anymore, because I bet a dollar to a donut by the end of the week someone will of posted the update cabs, to which I will be good.)
Also, I tried adding drivers to my phone. Didn't work (followed steps to add correct drivers to my phone via WP7Root Tools and the drivers packaged in a xap that extracted them). But I don't really care, since I have an early beta of City Lens that supports my phone, so im good.
Overall, only reason I would rom is if I was desperate.
I cant actually use a true custom rom because of my device.
I understand your method, but its a back up, not really a "rom", since all my data is backed up with it, and I don't care about preinstalled apps anyways, since the apps I use are always changing. I don't prefer restoring my device unless 100% necessary (AKA: I screwed something up) so I don't do this.

It sounds like the only reason youd want a ROM then is to have got the 7.8 update? that's a fair enough reason but as you know its coming out soon anyway so its not really important.
With regards to your Drivers, yeah it cant be done with WP7 Root tools at the moment, I believe im right in saying (and is public knowledge I hope!) that's being worked on as we speak
actually whilst I have your attention, see your City lens app, do you have issues with compass calibration? is the beta any less sensitive perhaps? Ive been trying and ill be damned if I can get it right

The city lens I have TECHNICALLY was a Chinese version (apparently in china an early beta was released to ALL wp7 devices) and the app was translated and posted somewhere around here on XDA, and can be sideloaded if you've dev unlocked (I dev unlocked using mfg). It DOES require calibration most of the time when you first open it, and since the quantum had a funny way of handling the compass driver (even LG's own apps work funny with compass) it works weird, but other then that its fine. Depending on the phone you have it should work well enough. I will not post the xap here only due to the fact that its already somewhere else on xda and don't want to post it without accrediting the work the user did to translate. (I for the life of me cant find where it was originally posted on here).
