Anyone know of a hosted Exchange service that uses Exchange 2007? One that has pricing for individuals. I've been using 4smarthphone.net, the service and support are both excellent, but I'd like to try 2007 Exchange, and they have no immediate plans to implement it. Thanks!
I think Mail2Web.com has an Exchange hosting plan with Exchange 2007 for 8.95 a month.
Btw, are you the same person who designed a very nice landscape homescreen for Facade? It's a simple one with customizable icons on top, a Wifi indicator and large space for all the appointments and below that, SMS and Mail notifications.
If you are, great job, I love it and thats what I am using on my phone.
Thanks -- but mail2web is Exchange 2003 -- they offer Outlook 2007, maybe that's what you saw. Like 4Smartphone.net, Exchange2007 is 'planned'...
Yes -- I did make that screen, glad to see someone's getting use out of it: http://forums.sbsh.net/index.php?showtopic=14372 . I made another one, with a globe and using the blue color scheme that ships with the Dash -- but the layout of things is exactly the same. On WM6, that blue scheme looks great.
Oh, I didn't know they were still 2003. Well, I guess then I don't know of any. Most, or all I have seen have it planned. However, just as a reiteration, Mail2Web's service is great. There's a recent article on them at smartphonethoughts.com as well.
Where can I go to get the blue color scheme one?
I love your homescreen because its the most functional one I have found, but I sure could do with a color change from the boring grey.
And yeah, now I saw that I did post in that topic as well. I was the one with the Dopod and the font problem.
Have you made any more screens of late?
Try this one: $9.95/month
http://www.exchange2007hosting.net/
Thanks -- just signed up, will give it a try. Reasonably priced, but would be nice if they had a price-break for annual payment up-front, as with 4smartphone. If anything, it'll give me Exchange2007 until 4smartphone or mail2web gets it

"Boring grey"...?! It took me days to get the colors right But, with WM6 the glassy-blue stuff looks great, and they used a blue that matches the keyboard backlight. There are a lot of prettier screens out there, but I prefer everything up front -- no tabs, switching around, etc... Less-is-more
I've attached a screenshot, but no, I haven't uploaded it anywhere -- will probably post it at the same Facade site as the other at some point. To just get the blue part though, cut 'n paste the color scheme from the TMo default blue into the xml file you're currently using

Hehe, well, it was cool when I put it on my phone. But after so many months it does look boring. But yeah, I read the discussion on the thread earlier and did know that it took you a long time to get that gradient look.
That screenshot looks awesome!! You have to release it. I want it. Or upload it here. Send it to me. Do something!
I do agree about the tabs switching/less is more thing. I don't like going to 10 different screens just to get information. I want it all right there. Lately, the trend has been 3-4 different screens if you want a functional homescreen, or a too simplistic one if you just want it to be stylish.
Yours is the only one which strikes a good balance.
The gradients... the menus... the menu highlighting... homescreen text... homescreen highlighting... the IE progress bars... the window title and status bars... and a zillion others. First you have find the colors you want, then figure out the hex codes for them, and figure out which cryptic line in a color scheme controls what color... definitely not intuitive. Whoever did the colors for the default T-Mobile blue scheme did a great job, I only changed a few things

I'll eventually post it -- will let you know...
Thanks a lot. Will be waiting for it. I don't usually check SBSH's forums on a regular basis, so a small heads up here would be perfect.
Has anyone created a better looking skin for the system message bubbles?
For anyone who uses S2U2, and has their SMS messages appear on screen, they look terrible compared to the skins of all of the great themes.
Would it be difficult for someone to create something like this, with the associated soft buttons, to be attached to the bubbles, and have it centered in the screene, much like the iPhone bubble placement.
No one has any info on this?
come on... I know one of you fellas is capable of creating this... I'll donate..

If you mean the notifier colour changing, than you have to change a manila file. These Bubble is a picture. A Thread concerning Email notifier is already create.
hey all i have read and read and tried and tried but have come up with nothing...
maybe someone can help me out...
i am trying to get my contact and dialer background to be clear... like my status bar but i cant get it... also i am trying to remove/block favorites tab like on cm7... please can some one help me out....
i am on evervolv 2.3.2... great rom....
once again please help me and thank you in advanced...
Dialer one has an option to use your wallpaper as dialer background, essentially making it transparent. You cannot choose different levels of transparency. You also choose what screen you want as your main screen (call log, contacts, etc) and just swipe left or right to get to the next one. It doesn't get rid of favorites but the tabs are hidden.
I know this isn't really what you're looking for, but it's better than nothing I guess.
It's free in the market by the way.

hey thanks... appreciate it... that's one way i can go.... but i was trying to edit the apk for a theme that im working on..
but really thank you.. cuz i didnt know about that app...
really... 90 views and nobody can help me....
I have a theme request for the Galaxy Nexus... I've tried doing this myself, but with my novice level of expertise, I'm afraid it's hopeless...
I really detest the new "Evil Snowman" image that shows up for all contacts without a pic, caller ID, text messages and some icons. I have no idea why Google chose this image. The little robot was much nicer. Anyway, if anyone has the time, I would really appreciate a theme that keeps everything stock, but replaces all the horrible "Evil Snowman" images with something better - a little Android Robot would be great.
I'd be happy to donate to anyone that can do this.
Thanks so much...
if you look a little further back in this forum (or maybe it was in Rootzwiki, not sure which) there were a few themed apks and zips that I found I looked through them but never saw anything that interested me.
I looked too... The problem is that I really just want a stock look, and no snowman. I don't want to change everything else.

Honestly, I'm not that fussy... Perhaps a little Android man in a color scheme that goes with the stock look.
The problem is that the snowman is everywhere... Here's a list of places I've seen, there may be more...
- Phone App / Contacts
- Caller ID
- Conference Call
- Messaging
- People App Icon
- People App top of screen
- People App contacts
If you can do this for me, I would be delighted... I will also gladly donate if it works.
BTW, I'm running Stock 4.0.4 for the CDMA/LTE Galaxy Nexus (Rooted and De-odexed)
EDIT: I like the contact image shown here, but perhaps in colors that better fit the stock look:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467139
I agree with you Matt...although I never thought of the stock 'unknown' contact image as an Evil Snowman, lol.
Anyways, the files that you want to change are in framework-res.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi\ic_contact_pictureXXXX.png. Attached to this post below, you'll find a quick screengrab that I took from my theme's working project folder.
Speaking of which, I will be updating my PCB Blue theme to include the Android robot image (specifically 'ic_contact_picture_2.png') by default, as I also prefer it over the "Evil Snowman"
You should be able to just edit framework-res.apk with WinRAR since you're only replacing normal PNG files. Extract them first, rename them, then drop them back into the .APK...on the other hand, if you like my PCB Blue theme, you can always wait for the next version where that will be done.
** EDIT ** - I am attaching the 3 untouched PNGs from framework-res.apk to make things a bit easier for you. They have been renamed properly to have Android use the robot as default. You therefore shouldn't need to do anything else but pop them into your framework-res.apk (many guides exist on how to edit this file, but the quick version would be to use ADB in Recovery to make changes (pull --> edit --> push --> set permissions) to the file.
Also, it may be possible that the other apps/APKs have their own resource image for an unknown contact. If that's the case, you'll have to dive into those APKs too (I only mod framework-res.apk myself, didn't peek into any others).
Hope that helps.

Scar,
The snowman is definitely evil. I feel like he is mocking me with that sideways smile. I don't like it... Hahaha... Just kidding
From what I can tell, the contacts.apk, phone.apk and mms.apk all have their own "snowman" images so I think they would all have to be edited. I know that I can do this using 7-zip, but it's really a bit beyond my comfort level right now. I'm still learning
If I edit the framwork-res.apk, does it override the files in the individual apps? It sounds like it doesnt. BTW, your image with the droid at 45 degrees is fantastic. It is EXACTLY what I'm looking for. Do you have a larger version for to replace the one that shows up with caller ID?
Thanks,
Matt.

LMAO! You know, the more I look @ him, the more I dislike him too...especially with that sideways smirk...
If you did check those other APKs and see snowman images, then yep, it's quite certain that those APKs will need to be modded. I use WinRAR and it couldn't be easier...one thing you must remember is to choose ZERO or STORE compression when working with 'framework-res.apk' and possibly others. They are not compressed in the ROMs (at least AOKP, which I run).
So, if you edit only framework-res.apk, then it probably will NOT change the caller ID, contacts photos, etc.. In terms of the image, I took that directly from 'framework-res.apk', so I unfortunately don't have a better/larger image. You might try Photoshop/GIMP, using an image resize method that is "better for enlargement".
Cheers Matt!
I'm still no further forward in my quest to kill the snowman. I like the robot image posted above, but the issue is that it's 108x108 pixels. I basically need 4 different images. One light grey as shown which is 128x128, this will work for the People App, MMS and the Framework. Then I need a darker one which is also 128x128 for the contacts list in the phone app. Next I need a dark image which is 360x360 (for caller ID screen) and another light image which is 360x360 for the People app (viewing a contact).
In summary:
128x128 light grey
128x128 dark grey
360x360 light grey
360x360 dark grey
I have tried to resize the image, but it looks like crap. Can someone please help me? I think I can get this done with the right png files.
Thanks,
Matt.

Looking for the same here. Any luck?
I've noticed when I CC myself on messages sent from my phone that the email font is horrible Times New Roman. Is there a way that I can change the font on my outgoing email messages? I know there's a ton of apps that let you change how the font looks on your phone, but I don't care about that I care about how it looks to my recipients. If anyone has any ideas I'd welcome them, thanks!
I guess that's a no
No matter what your font is or how you change it the recipient is going to display your message/e-mail in his native font.
And if you could some how enable this, the receiving party would have to have your font installed in order for it to display on there screen.
Hope it makes sense to you. :thumbup:

No I appreciate the response and I can see your point. And you're right, most phones display the email in their own font anyway. I guess I should clarify, I'm more concerned with contacts reading the email on their computers. Most computers enjoy a pretty expansive font repertoire. Can a brother get some Calibri or at least some Tahoma! HAhaha! I guess there's not that big a demand for this. Shame.
Just to follow up, I upgraded from ICS to JB and JB does allow you to change fonts, it's EXACTLY what I was looking for. It makes my emails look much more professional.
