VGA files here!! - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

This is as far as its got so far
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/VGA so far.zip
Note to have your own windows boot screen replace with your own welcomehead.96.png
You use at own risk, nothing to do with me, but ive not had any troubles so far. This will create a security hole in your WM5 windows system.

thanks for the efforts carnivor, but i dont think the ftp is working, or basically i cant access it. tried the browser and an ftp client. cannot connect to the server, it times out.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site
access the ftp through there

Would love to give it a go, but just not quite brave enough - anyone post any screengrabs of some popular screens to see?

Thanks a bunch for creating the zip file, Carnivor. Makes things nice and easy

I managed to rip the MSN messenger dlls from my kjam. Here they are. Messenger now works fine in VGA mode.

Those files were set with Read Only and System attributes and Activesync refused to copy those files to my Jasjar until I removed those attributes. After that they copied fine.
Thanks for the files

Allow MSN Messenger to work when in real VGA mode. Without them the app just hangs or fails to start up.

Ok, those dll's are purrrfect!!!!!
ive attached the latest vga stuff time date stamped
its got the msnm dl''s alldone in it.
also i dont really think the phone skin is going to be a major problem, i see on buzz's site they're skinning the phone app, i used a couple of the tweaks to change my qvga dialler background, so maybe the rest aint as hard as first thought. I say that in the tense that buzz prob speant hours of brain cells working it all out.

Ohh rilot, you are a deamon, msn this res is wicked!!! 22 contacts in landscape mode, godda be some kind of a record, i mean its actually useful now, better than the usual 2 is it? hehe

Can anyone post some screengrabs?

I'll try to get some screenshots up tonight.

here ya go, was before i started playing with the ozvga settings tho, looks better now

Carnivor, looks lovely: get the feeling that guy in the first pic just felt his trouser pocket distend and rip with the jasjar. Man, I'm afriad to pocket it and get a hernia. But it has such a nice solid feel to it, like a mini tombstone. They should advertise that as a feature! Engraved...
I've also noticed that I can feel the electric charge buzz when using it and holding the metalic top. I'd be careful of using it in the bath!
Carnivor: how do you find wisbar's skinning? Does it impact on speed? It's quite cool.
V

wisbar is good, the .12 is alot better, but you do still notice the improvement when you close it.
buzz, i was refering to buzz_lightyear, a guru on things wm based

Ok I'm a nOOb here, can someone tell me what to do with the .CAB file in the archive ?
Please

Carnivor, this is just awesome! Working well with WA2 AND WAD! Quite surprised was I!
Some issues I am having that u may already know how to solve, in which case I'd appreciate ur input:
- Fonts tough on eyes. What changes do u recommend over and above ozVGA settings?
- Some dialog boxes only show half the text b4 the yes/no buttons overwrite the bottom part. Any ideas?
- PIN pad is all overlapped; not a big deal
- BUT, phone pad is a bit of an issue; too small and I have to turn off quickdial. Any ideas on this?
- My SIP keyboard loses its skin. Can the skins on buzz's board be applied somehow?
- Calculator keys too small; do u know of a working calc app cos I truly need a calculator available at all times
- My oh-so-pretty WA2 and WAD hi-res themes need to take a trip back to low-res world else the buttons are too big! Darn!
I'm gonna try sticking to this mode. Hell, all the apps I've got working well on WM5/VGA work just as well under this mode, so why go back? and PIE is OH SO PRETTTTTTYYYY!!!!
PS: What do u use for screen shots on WM5? Would like to post a few of mine.

converting apps to VGA using res2exe

Ok, I have an obsession to get a VGA resolution web browser right now on my MDA PRO. The only thing I came up is using an MS developer tool called res2exe and using with existing Internet explorer or Opera. I have seen a post where the user has I guess recompiled the opera broweser with res2exe, however to do this you need Visual studio.net and the Windows mobile SDK.
would anyone be able to give me a hand on how to do this in plain english? Alternatively would anyone be able to post the recompiled exe ?
I dont think I can rest until I get a VGA browser !
Cmon guys this must be on the top of everyones list?
p.s the best thing MDA owners can do is flash with the IMATE ROM, the T Mobile ROM is the biggest pile of cack and the UI customisation is awful.

I hope so... I'm dying to get one working myself. They just recently released a new version of Minimo and it has full VGA support, but it's painfully slow on my Jasjar... looks beautiful, though.
I spent some time trying to get Pocket IE to run in VGA mode, but the problem is that it technically *does* run in VGA mode... the fonts and larger graphics are displayed in VGA. For some completely stupid reason though, it quadruples the size of smaller graphics... this prevents web sites from displaying properly and keeps us from getting as much as we want on the screen at once.
The Opera for smartphones that some people have gotten working doesn't interest me at all because it doesn't support the touchscreen. I'd rather browse in non-vga mode than loose the touchscreen.
Right now, most of the time I just deal with Pocket IE as is. If I need to do a lot of browsing I'll use the registry hack to enable VGA mode on my Jasjar and use Pocket IE that way... which does support VGA mode the way it should. Unfortunately it requires a soft reset to get into VGA mode and a soft reset to get out of it, plus there are problems with a lot of other programs when the device is in VGA mode, so it's not a pretty solution.

Couldn't agree more - I was stunned when browsing didn't feel any better than my XDA, and it took a bit of time to understand what was going on. I really don't understand why Opera is not doing an WM5 version. I've got my money ready to pay the SECOND someone comes up with a VGA browser for us.
which vga hack?
Brett, I agree with your comments. Can someone point me in the right direction of the jasjar VGA hack ? these seems to be a number of them.
I am sure this has been covered, but the annoying size of the friggin soft buttons bar/menu bar at the bottom of the screen is such a waste of our new found screen real estate. the bar could be smaller. or at least should be able to hide. ......this is not a fair comprmise between screen estate and menu navigation.

Any of the ones for WM2003 (SEVGA, OZVGA, or simply editing the registry) work to get the Jasjar into VGA mode. The problem is that as of right now, no one has figured how to get WM5 to display icons correctly in VGA mode. You lose all of the symbols at the top of the screen that show signal strength and connection status and such, and the icons displayed on the today screen and in Programs don't actually apply to the programs that they're associated with. Some programs (such as contacts and calculator) simply refuse to run in VGA mode, so it's not something that works as a full time solution. However, Pocket IE does run in VGA mode, and when it's in VGA mode it doesn't do any of the horrible image stretching that it does in 'normal' mode. That's why I go back and forth ocassionally. There's another thread here that was started by Rilot that talks about this a bit more.

So you want to hide your system tray?

Why? Because it useless and it ocupies a line of space that could be used by a today plugin!!!
TrayDisplay is what you need!!! Built with ATL C++, it comes in two files:
HideTray: that makes tour system tray invisible;
DisplayTray: that makes tour system tray visible!!
It makes a shortcut on your \Windows\StartUp folder so that everytime you reset your PPC, it will hide the tray!
When the file is run, it makes it's job and then end's so that it doesn't stay in memory.
This file is not a patch, but an application!
Only tested with Windows Mobile 2005, don't know if will work with WM2003...
OK,
nice idea but doesn't work on W2003 SE, at least not on mine. Also no effect after soft-reset.

I know I've seen another tool for hiding top-&bottom bars somewhere on the web. Cannot remember where, but it had to do with 'xx% larger screen'. As I don't mind having the bars I didn't pay much attention to it. I specially like the top bar with date/time & spb gprs icon. But taste is personally. So you'll have to search yourself when you really want this.

That's not entirely true anymore... Naturally the more you "fill" in, the more memory you lose, but it's def. not the program itself...But if you look at what you actually get here, the little memory you lose is a very small price to pay...

Has ANYONE changed the Media Player 10 Skin?

Hi,
i know everyone seems to use TCPMP but i like using Windows Media Player 10, i have been trying for a very long time to change the skin to a realy nice one but i havn't found a way to do it, not even the windows site explanes how to do it, they just say download them.
If anyone managed it then could they reply with where the files are in memory and what is the name of the skin so i can try the same.
Thanks in advance and i know a few people have been looking for an anwser
I have tryed for ages to change the skin in media player but there is no way ive found.
i did notice that there is a *192.bmp file in the windows directory (windows\) that if you open looks just like the default skin. if i rename the default(portrait).skn file in the \Program files\media player\ folder then media player wont start in portrait mode so its definutly pulling the skin from there but all the different ways i put the skin files i have it just wont work, not even if i rename then the default(portrait) will it work.
Has anyone got this to work?
Well, I think a couple of Juni's skin suites have a WMP skin (Navigator certainly does). So someone must've used them, and I assume there are instructions on how to change them included with the suite.
Have a look over at the SBSH Software forum - in the "Pocketbreeze Resources" area, or at the Lakeridge Software Forum - in the "Wisbar 2.x Skins" area. I know I've seen threads about WMP skinning in one of those two forums.
Simple, I think you should just find a *.skn file and put it in the \Program Files\Windows Media Player. Then using the WMP to search for a new skin as clicking the button in WMP.
Then you will have a simple browse of your skn there, and choose them. They will be Ready for you.
Enjoy~!
Cheers

i downloaded this for wmp10; the skin transforms your player to look like an ipod. quite simple but i like it because the buttons are spaced in such a way that you don't depress 2 at a time (when using your finger). can't remember where i got it though. as my unit is connected to my car stereo; when driving the layout makes pressing the keys a lot easier as compared to the default skin.
what i did was; unzip the files and placed them in a folder i named "ipod". using file explorer; go to: my device->program files->windows media player. paste the folder. go to wmp10; menu->options->skins. give it a few seconds as it's searching for skins. the ipod skin should then appear.
the downside: when using this skin you cannot view videos. the sound will be heard but the screen of the ipod will not change. you will have to revert back to the default wmp10 player skins (the blue one). also; even if the ipdo skins is being used; switching to landscape mode will automatically change the ipod skin to the wmp10 default blue skin.
hope that helps.
cheers

Thanks very much Robson, but i have already tied that method and but media player searches for a skin for about 3 seconds and then only gives me the opion of the defaulf skin, i guess if it works with your fine then it must be an error on mine, even after a hard reset this does not work, i have also tried this method on my M2000 (WM2003se) and it doesn't work either
I hope we can solve this
I will keep trying
Hi to all,
Robson, can you let as know where did you got the i-pod archive? Let as know more ways to make that way easy. Thank you in advance.
interesting how the player doesn't recognize the new skins in the library. after waiting for 3 seconds, i take you did try to press on the left or right directional buttons (to go to the next skin option). oh well, sorry to hear that. i'm attaching a snapshot of the website i got the ipod skin from. as you can see there are other wmp skins to choose from. as i mentioned; i opted for the ipod skin because the spacing of the buttons is far enough to allow me to use my finger when i want to pause, stop or skip tracks. the website is
http://browse.deviantart.com/skins/media/wmp/wmpppc/
FYI; do NOT use this skin:
http://www.freewareppc.com/misc/upodsilverwindowsmediaplayerskin.shtml
buddy of mine complained that it caused his ppc to hang thus resulting in a hard reset. go for the first link above 8)
hope that helps
Thanks a lot for the site. :wink:
it seems that these skins works for the wizard only, because when i saved them on my kjam they worked just fine, but on my jasjar it didn't recognize them at all, it gave me only the default skin, even if i innitiate it portrait or landscape.
thanks for the post though, i'm happy with them on my kjam now.
cheers.
Robson,
thanks for your replys, yes i did try and click left and right but they are both greyed out, i guess these are only for the wizard then, NONEED, have you actualy managed to get the ipod skin to appear on your jasjar? if you could send a screen shot just so that i know that im not wasting my time when i try to get this working
Thanks for your time
Hi, im just trying to keep this post alive because im sure alot of you would also like to have this option, i still havnt found a solution, in the registry it does show that you can change the skin to another one but when i do WMP10 just hangs.
There MUST be a way, im going to take the ultimute useless route to try and sort this out now, im going to call..........wait for it..........Orange Tech department!!!!!!, i am sure they wont even have a clue what im talking about but its the last route left to me

Please try the attach file, I believe you'll find that it works. The problem is that the VGA screen of the Universal is 4 times as big as the screen on a normal Pocket PC so every thing needs to be doubled. This will not of course work on a normal QVGA PocketPC.

I was just looking at the screenshot - January 2006! Sheesh. I haven't programmed anything specific for VJSihaya since then - reason being, when I had the idea way back when, I knew what I wanted it to do, but knew what I had to go away and learn LOTS of new stuff.
I've been tinkering with different ideas, bits and bobs, so that I can eventually throw them together to make it as complete as I want it to be.
Like I've said elsewhere, stuff like VJVolubilis is just R&D, that I've released stand alone, but I like the idea of VJSihaya. However, HTC really need to get more VGA screens out. I'm thinking of going to TyTN, and at QVGA VJSihaya isn't as beautiful

I think that is WisBar Advance he is using. It is not free though.
Yep thats Wisbar Advance I'm using along with a windows vista theme. The picture dialer is the one ripped off from the Treo 700W and was designed for QVGA and square screens thats why it looks so small on the Universal's VGA screen but it still works great
A couple of questions:
Does it not totally destroy your eyes trying to read the text on true VGA mode?
I used WisBar Advance once when I had my alpine - it made it so there was no ring when an incoming call happened, are there any problems with using it on a phone now? If not, do you know why not? Is it the new device or a newer version of the WisBar software?
Thanks guys, I'm off to investigate Wizbar Advance!
Anjow - to answer your question.
Yes the text is small in VGA mode - in Word set your font size to 7 point font size (perhaps 6 - hard to tell) and you'll get an idea of how big the text is.
I find it perfectly readable and LOVE the extra space it gives me, browsing the internet actually becomes worthwhile as well!
VJBigPhone makes the phone work properly on VGA (Thanks again!!!) - my only problem is that Solitaire still thinks it's using 320x240 and is too small!!!
It depends upon personal preference and what you intend to use the device for.

Hmm, perhaps tolerable then. I'm surprised because when I'm using pocket opera some of the text is really tiny already? Perhaps that's a feature of opera though.

is there a patch for the cingular 8525 to make it look like vista? i've seen the skinning stuff, looks to involved ( to many programs ). thanks LuXx
I am running wisbar advanced, and I have a great vista theme that I would be happy to upload, or I can try and find where I originally found it. doesn't take up too many resources, and it has a _ton_ of customization

It's nice 'cos it doesn't require the Bluetooth connection - you just tuck the Hermes inside next to your ear and away you go; and with Wifi on it keeps your ear warm as well. I've heard a rumour that there's a dual core Hermes with twin hand-sets that keeps both ears warm. Bit itchy though??

Oh yes. You hit the nail on the head there. It's almost a full body headset, as you can see. Quite cozy in the winter... and very stylish to boot.

Not sure what the problem is, Zgembo was able to get it extracted and working. Are you just extracting the whole folder onto your desktop (or somewhere) and then moving it over to the phone?
Exactly, simple as cake... Just copy two file to any folder of your phone, and run it... Dialer (bigger .cab file) is just an option, instals as standard application... Skin (.tsk file) is very compact, and just double click it to add it to phone's themes... You can delete these files after installation...
does anyone know any drawback to the ETEN dialer besides losing video call as an option?

on this one you also loose smart dial... but its a kick a$$ looking dialer skin
Maybe someone with some skills (definitely not me) can put the smart dial and video option into this dialer skin. I think this was originally created for the 8125. Shogunmark... I know you're a pro. Whatcha think?

i can build wizard roms and cabs, etc.. but when it comes to *.tsk and dialer skins, i will admit defeat.. i have tried at those and failed so many times.. its not that i couldnt create them, its that they looked horrible.. i am seriously lacking in artistic skills.. i might look into anyway since i am dying to start cooking roms but the bootloaders on these phones right now is a major roadblock.. we will see what time has in store for me
Excellent phone skin! I love it!
i found the site where the nice dialer was from:
http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.htm
he appears to have E-TEN dialers with Smartdial (scroll down to the bottom round classic) It states the "Blackglass" has smartdial. Anyone try that out on a TyTN?
Anyone know how to fix the AeroMobile.tsk theme to support the Portrait mode? When I slide out my keyboard, the skin should strech but doesn't. I tried to fix it with MS Theme Generator, but no luck... Any suggestions? I'm using Pocket PC 2002 Theme Generator V2, as that seems to be the last release from MS.
