Hello People and mostly skinners!
Could someone please give me or us a dummy guide how to make themes for mobile shell?
I know there is some already but it is not dummy guide.
By dummy guide I mean to write:
1.Which files to open and how...and then I guess just edit in Photoshop.
2.What resolution should they be (please WVGA) - icons and everything, how do I know what size should the picture be for WVGA?
etc.
Please if you have time and feel like wirting this please do.
Thank you.

If anybody is interested in grabbing the ringtones/wallpaper/strange sample icons from WM7, it's possible to reverse engineer the BIN file to get at the raw files that make up WM7.
Happy to post steps if anybody wants to get at this stuff, if not please see wallpapers and ringtones attached to this post. Hopefully helpful to somebody out there.
thanks... please post how to extract the bin for noobs!
Of course... you need:
- The BIN file. In this case I used WM7Full.bin available from several sites
- viewbin.exe from Microsoft Platform SDK
- cvrtbin.exe from Microsoft Platform SDK
- dumprom.exe from Microsoft Platform SDK
You may also be able to find these utilities using Google.
Use viewbin.exe to analyse the file:
viewbin.exe -t wm7full.bin
You'll see an image start and length. Start was 0x81000000 with length 0x0496A294 for the specific file I used. Plug these values into cvrtbin.exe:
cvrtbin.exe -r -a 0x81000000 -l 0x0496A294 -w 32 wm7full.bin
(obviously substituting the -a and -l value for those obtained from viewbin. Leave -w as 32)
This will produce wm7full.nb0. Plug this file into dumprom.exe:
dumprom.exe -d c:\output wm7full.nb0.
And there you have it, the files will be chucked into c:\output in their entirety.
Thanks for this one, some good sounds inside
I can't find viewbin.exe, cvrtbin.exe, and dumprom.exe anywhere, can someone post a link?
EDIT: Or, better yet, could someone just upload the dump?
EDIT 2: Okay, I found the tools, but the dump didn't work. Any suggestions?
Could you provide details of the error that you're seeing please?
To answer your other questions, I'm not planning to upload the whole dump as it's copyright and against the forum rules. Same goes for the tools, they're part of the Platform Builder SDK.

Not to be a buzzkill, but these are the same ringtones and sounds from 6.1/6.5
Though I missed flamenco fire, thanks for bringing it back

LOL.. I didn't try 6.1/6.5, just saw the BIN file screaming to be taken apart! Flamenco Fire ... hmm interesting

There is no error message; I run the tools exactly as described, which works, but when I look for "C:\output", I can't find it. Otherwise everything is fine.

You will need to substitute c:\output for a directory of your choice that exists on your system. Please also ensure that you are using the offset and length appropriate to the bin file you are using.

as akersj says above... you need to create the folder c:\output first or use another folder that already exists. The tools will not create a new directory for you.
Oh, I see now! I can't believe I didn't try that!
Well, anyway, this is pretty interesting. Especialy files like 'FileBrowser.exe,' FileBrowserCM.dll,'and 'NativeInstallerHost.exe' could be of some great use to us.
There is any user which could share knowledge how to make pre-rooted ROM ?

Ok I need only one information.
I going to create repack of system image by command :
./make_ext4fs -s -l need correct size -a system newsystem.img folder where mounted system image
Someone could tell me this image size ? 1500M or 1572864000B which are correct ?
After this answer, I will prepare full pre-rooting guide.
Thanks for taking time off to do this.
You should ask the OP of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375527 for some help, or you could examine his pre-rooted ROMs to get an idea of what size you need

I would like to port PostmarketOS to my Samsung A50 ( SmA505F/DS ) but I can't get into the APKsBuild file it keeps giving me an error. I know that I have to change the ffffffffffffff.... line and that the repository might be wrong. But I don't know how to fill in the fffffff.... and what exactly I have to enter in Repository.
The porting instructions from PostmarketOS itself don't help me either.
Could someone help me?
