Hi i was wondering if anyone could help me, i have a visual impairment and i have just purchased his phone the SPV M500 Flavour). i assumed that because it is a pocket pc it would be fairly easy to increase font size in menus and messages but i am finding it very difficult.
Can anyone help me out here. i have set the fon't size in setting>>system>>screen>>text size to the bigest option but it does not seem to do anything... so does anyone know any registery hacks or something a can try.
omar
Try using software like CETuner to modify system fonts and colours for high contrast etc.
Vijay
the website says that it is nt comatible with pocket pc 2003 se
wat type of processor doesthe m500 have?|
Its a ARM class processor.
Imp
Try Tillanosoft's Pocket Tweak but be warned that not all dialogs and screens work very well with different size fonts selected.
cetuner works fine on my magician.
WinCE2003 SE phone ed.
Tweaks2k.net will do it as well.

Hi,
I've searched the forum. There are many threads about Terminal Services client problems; however they are in general about full screen availability.
My problem is somewhat different:
I am looking for resolution setting like in the Windows XP Terminal Services client.
Is there any software or hack that enable this ?
I want to be able to manage a bigger area of the remote desktop.
So I need a client which would change the remote desktop resolution setting.
I can't believe that MS didn't put a client with this capability in WM5.
If that's not possible, maybe I cold try to use a virtual screen software that would allow higher resolution on my PPC device with panning ???
Is there some sort of application for this ?
Please DO FOLLOW my articles / DO use the forum / local Wiki search engine - I've also answered your q in both the Wiki and .
In a word: with TSC, you can't.

Menneisyys,
Thank you I'd already read the first 2 pages but the answer is in 3rd page I guess. I'll read it. I hope there is "hope"
At this moment I have a more urgent problem:

Sure there is - all the reviewed apps allow for ANY remote desktop resolution; it's only TSC that doesn't.
I have a very bad restriction: I can only use remote desktop protocol because of y work company policy.
It's not much of a solution, but use Nyditot and enlarge your virtual screen size. Then shrink to fit the display, and it'll match your screen resolution.

vijay555,
I tried Nyditot and it's impressive. Really nice to see like 640x480
However, I couldn't adjust the screen alignment. My pointer does not go to some areas of the screen. How can I do pointer alignment ?
Ooops I made a mistake.
Now because of Nyditot my device does not boot up.
It stays in the splash screen forever.
Is there anything else then Hardreset ?
mrmrmrmr. I've used Virtual display on a SPV M5000 and with the default rom it would freeze as soon as I booted to enable it and a hard reset was required.
I tried it again after flashing a different rom and it worked a treat. Since then I've loaded various AKU3 roms and now WM6 and Virtual Display has worked with all but that original Rom.
Afraid you'll need to hard reset but try different roms to see if you can find one that VD is compatible with
If you get it working VD will allow much larger screens than 640x480 if you can stand scrolling around.
Hi,
is it possible to get high resolution on my ameo
or change the size of the fonts to a smaller size
but doing this without having any smaller problems
aka icons missing/not working
or regular crashing of the device
ive looked at ozvga but just wondered if any1 else had a better experience
with a different software package
Have any of you guys given this a go yet? http://www.pointui.com/
Its a major improvement over the Standard windows mobile home screen and gives an easier to use interface with your finger.
No ROM cooking involved just install over the top of windows mobile 5 or 6. Its kinda like an improved today screen.
I downloaded it today and I have to say its made me alot happier using the phone without a stylus.
It has just been released and is free to use on any windows mobile device.
Take a look...

But it doesn't support VGA devices?? - Mike
Shame it doesnt support true vga 96 dpi......however its really nice looking and i like imput/design ui a lot, wallpaper and color scheme should be user defined.
it does work in 96dpi, kind of, I think we need to resize one or two of the backgrounds to make it work well.
not gone through the jif files yet, I'm presuming it'll be one of those.
they got a fix for that now, a temporary one on their website
Hi,
I have installed this application but I didn't really like it the way I was expecting it to perform. The problem is, I can't get rid of it now. I have removed the program from remove program but it still shows the 'Home' option on the task bar.
Can anyone help me to remove this program?

Hi
I am usining it on 128 and 96 dpi
Works fine but when putting in pin for fone the buttons have all tobe touched to see them and then use clear and then enter the pin as u can now see the buutons ???
Any way to fix this ???
good stuff, i like it here ,works good with my HTC PPC 6800
I think once finalized, this could indeed be a killer application for the Athena as it encompasses all areas usually only accessible through the native WM O/S, but in a much more stylish and finger touch pleasing way.
I saw some i780 images with RealVGA and I just have to admit it was the best square screen I have even seen for a PPC. This seems precisely what I want for my screen. Could someone please explain what exactly is it, and how it works? and if all softwares are automatically compatible with it, or would I have to sacrifice my software collection in order to use it???
BTW, what screen resolutions does it work with and would my Treo 750 support it??
I always thought you needed a VGA screen to use realVGA or anything like that, so i don't think it would be possible on a treo. Then again i'm not entirely sure so i would wait for someone else to confirm.
RealVGA, essentially, makes everything smaller.
The point of this is to take advantage of a high resolution screen (since WM doesn't). In your case, it will probably make windows unusable as the 240x240 resolution would end up making text so small that it's illegible.
It's mainly meant for 640x480 screens although 480x480 as well as 320x320 screens appear to be usable.
RealVGA, or TrueVGA as I like to call it, basically disables pixel-doubling that WM uses to make all programs work well. This can really only be used on devices that have more pixels than 320x240. So a VGA screen of 640x480 will show 4x the about of data in TrueVGA mode as it would in normal mode.
The downside is that not all programs will work properly. This is a developer issue, and it is best to contact them to resolve this problem. I would suggest putting your device into TrueVGA mode and trying out the programs that you use, and see if you are happy with the results.
I have put a package together in the link below that you can use for testing purposes, and see if it is something you like or not.
Personally I only every use my device in TrueVGA mode as I hate the lost space as a result of the large icons on my x51v. But it will come down to personal preference and you are best to try and see for yourself.
Cheers
Mark

RealVGA actually changes your dpi. The stock i780 is using 128dpi which is something not common. Most devices are using 96 dpi. I believe RealVGA was written is to maximize the available screen. Of course with 96 dpi, the letters are also smaller, and it might pose some difficulty in readin texts on the screen.
However, others are still using RealVGa mainly one can maximize the screen. Also, the display though small, makes it look more sharp.
As to the programs, I'm not sure what you have. For myself, I am using PocketCM (modded to fit in the i780), Audio Manager and the Diamond WM Player Skin (modded to fit in the i780). I also installed the HTC Today plugin.
I also had modded SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 (I've since uninstalled it), I have SBSH Weather (using slikkie's sbsh weather skin). Quite a few software can run under RealVGA, it depends on what you have actually.
Hope this helps.
after install realVGA, my i780 can't make or receive VIDEO CALL

Search for the nadavi 3g dialer for i780. Install and you will be able to make video calls.
Hi,
does it possible (and if somebody tried yet) run RealVGA on HTC HD?
thx
For those who don't know what realVGA is, like myself before here is an explanation:

RealVGA is the name of a freeware application/hack for Windows Mobile 6. It supercedes hacks like oZVGA and TrueVGA which were around for WM5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327830
On a device with a VGA 640x480 screen, Windows Mobile uses pixel doubling to emulate a standard QVGA 320x240 screen. This makes most software display exactly the same as it does on QVGA, with the same sized fonts and number of lines etc., but with much smoother fonts.
Worse still, on a device with a 320x320 screen, WM "pretends" the screen is actually 240x240, so displays exactly the same info as you would see on a 240x240 screen (e.g. Treo 750, Ipaq 69xx), but with smoother fonts. Pretty pathetic really, when you consider you have a higher res screen, but can only display less information than a standard 320x240 PocketPC!
Microsoft's reason for all this is to allow you to run any WM application designed for an "old" QVGA screen, without it having to be VGA-aware. Much the same as hi-res 320x320 screens on PalmOS devices pixel-double all the menus and standard Palm applications that were written to work with the "original" 160x160 Palm Pilot screens.
The higher res does allows you to reduce the text size smaller than you would on a QVGA screen (e.g. to 6pt on the Today screen) but still be able to read it, and some applications will use the higher res mode internally if they specifically support it - but you still have to put up with the huge top and bottom status bars and OS menus / limited lines.
What the RealVGA application does is to force Windows Mobile 6 and above to dispense with the emulation and run everything at the native resolution of the screen. So on a VGA screen, all the title bars, menus and fonts are shrunk to 50%. This makes best use of the new hardware, but it also means text can be very small, as effectively you're just shrinking what people used to view on old 12-14" VGA PC monitors down to a couple of inches! This works fine on a 5 or 3.5" screen (e.g. HTC Advantage or Universal) but you need really good eyesight to use it on the common 2.8" VGA screened smartphone.
However, on a 320x320 screen, it works pretty well. I use it on my Samsung i780 and while the text is small, it is perfectly readable, and well worth the extra information you can squeeze onto the screen.
RealVGA allows you to switch between resolutions at will, with just a soft reset required to change. On a VGA device you get the choice of 144, 128 and 96dpi and on a 320x320 screen, 128 and 96dpi (96dpi is the highest res, smallest font mode the screen will do).
As for using it on the new Palms, although originally written for the HTC Advantage, RealVGA worked pretty much straight away on the i780 (which was the first WM device with a 320x320 screen), so hopefully it should be pretty straightforward to use on the Palm. The only real difficulty is with a few programs that use non-scalable graphics that need a bit of tweaking to look right (e.g. phone dialler skins, games etc).

So, did anyone try it yet (don't have mine yet)?
On the G900 it worked, so I guess it's quite possible that it will work on the HD, too!

hey, nobody tried this???
this is one of first thing I will try when I receive my phone next week...
Please, if somebody tried this, which one to download,
and does it work ok??
thx
I tried it and it worked very good. Some menues are too big, and sometimes the error site appears, but most of the time it works almost perfectly. But the 96DPI is way too small, even on such a big display. So I chose 128DPI and it works great.
I tried it on my HD, it works. HOWEVER, phone application doesn't work any more. I can't make or receive calls, even if I return back to original DPI. there is checkbox to disable phone skin, no matter if it is checked or not, my phone application will not run. I just bricked my phone, please help, I don't want to hard reset it and spend another month by tuning it.
