This is as far as its got so far

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

What do the VGA Messenger dll's do exactly?

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.

hmmm.... that's what i'm thinking - for the Today screen anyway. i wanna be able to read the stuff here with a glance, and the teeny fonts make that difficult. is there anything we can do about this?
I have installed Magic Button 2.0 build 51023 on my HTC Wizard with WM5 AKU2.2. I really like the size of MB, but I have one question. The "OK" and "X" buttons are round like WM2003. I would like to use the square buttons that are standard on WM5. Does anyone know how to do this. I would guess that Wisbar and all the variants would have the same problem, but I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated.
I tried Magic Button on my Wizard and didn't like it.
I'm now using InClose
http://insoftwarehouse.com/downloads/index.php?l=en
I find it much better...it's free...and it's got a square icon!
Thanks ianmann. I haven't tried InClose. The soft reset feature is a nice bonus. I will try it out.
I just noticed, the cab file is over 800KB in size :shock: . That is almost 10 times the size of MB. I like the task manager to be in ROM for responsiveness. Thanks for the advice, but I think I will stick with MB. Does anyone know of a way to change the close and ok icons to the original square icons?
thanks for the app
Try wClose 1.1
There is an app wClose that is 8.5k :shock: in size, you should try-it.

I've tried both. Magic button, as said, doesn't seems to fit the WM5 theme well. As for InClose, my unit seems to have problem with it that, my Picture and Video aren't working properly (no thumbnail) after it has been install. You might want to double check yours.

RuiMg - wClose is EXACTLY what I was looking for. All I needed was something small that closed instead of minimized. I never would have found it since I am an American and thus foreign language-challenged :wink: . Thanks a bunch. Now if I could just get the really thin battery meter that went across the top that was part of MB, I would be set. I think I saw it in a forum here.
Mmm I'm going to give Wclose a try as well. Although I do like the way you can set exclusions on InClose so some applicatiions...like contacts and dialer..open faster. And on my device InClose takes less than 170k.
I'll suggest a battery meter....Batti...seems accurate and easy to see
http://pda.jasnapaka.com/
Edit: And you're right...my Pictures and Video didn't work either...so InClose is out the window.
I tried right now wClose as suggested, and works great... very small and you can't notice it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi everyone! I own a trinity spv m700 orange white phone. Nothing has been change, the phone is still the same as the day it came package. And I have just witnessed the potential of what my phone can do.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSGqgEGedq8&feature=related
I am still a noob. And I dunno what they are using to do all that on their trinity. I think now is the good time to learn more about my phone and fiddle with it.
I would love and kill to see my trinity work that way. Would any experts out there kindly point me in the right direction. I know there might be alot of work cut out for me. But I am not discouraged.
Hope someone can help me in here.
Thank you in advance.

There's nothing special about it. From what I can see, it has HTC Home installed, Touchflo, HTC Album in landscape mode, Pocket IE in full screen mode, Tom Tom navigation, Office Mobile, Windows Media Player, HTC Audio Manager, HTC Action, nothing special.
As for the speed, it is a medium speed ROM, I'd give it a 6/10.
Most of these apps you will find on the forum.

Thanks!
I've left this question elsewhere, but just in case anyone knows.. is there a piece of software out there with a tweak to stop SIM contacts appearing as well as phone contacts?

Here you go!
After installation, shut down PPC (hold power button for 4 seconds), then soft reset.
Hey Tnyynt.
Thanks, but I think I found a solution by searching....
Schaps Advanced configuration tool (works w/wm6.1.) It has the SIM option and many more cool options (of which I know how to use maybe two!)

This is an app that puts widgets like the Omnia on the today screen. The only issue is that it doesn't support VGA yet (hence the reason for the post). I used SecondToday to get another today screen, loaded FEWidgets, and mapped the top volume key to go back and forth between TF3D and the today screen with FEWidgets. It worked liked a charm, with no lag or hesitation. The widgets worked fine by controlling comm devices like bluetooth and WIFI. The only thing you may have to change is the wallpaper in the programs folder in order to get VGA (480x640) wallpaper to cover the whole screen (once you get them in the folder there is actually a widget you can change them with). FEWidget does use the entire screen, so other today screen plugins can not be used. The only problem is the widgets are small (QVGA), and looking to you guys to find a solution. I haven't had a chance to look at the files, but I will to see if the widget icons can be manipulated. It is damn cool though. A simple button press takes you to another screen with widgets!!!!! The Diamond engine handles it so well, it should have been intergrated. Here is the link to the thread, and all credit goes to nicodega for an awsome app.

hi all,
i am running the last version of this great application on my Diamond.
it seems to be fine and fast, remap the left soft key in TF3D et voila'.
many thanks to the developer.

yes, you are right, it works!!
not so smooth but it´s nice to play with!

hi guys,
frankly speaking, this application is nice to see but useless.
it dry a lot of memory and if you dont get it still on the background..... is slow to open.

ok so I can not find this mod mentioned in the thread you posted, nor can I find it via search which more or less leaves me no chance as to ask you again in the wrong thread if you could point me to the mod or the file to get those icons changed.
Thank you in advance and sorry, I do know its the wrong thread. As it should be a simple question to answer though I would highly appreciate a hint
cheers
Just tried it out.. And it is really nice! However.. It is pretty laggy..
Have a look at this vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doOLS2oPTGY
How have they made it so fast and smooth? And there is more widgets there.. Maybe the got a newer version ?
Oh and maybe i have gotten this wrong, but as i have understood this, you guys have takin this today plugin out of the omnia right?

well thats str8 up on the omnia... we are dealing with porting it do a different resolution... i'm not too sure why else it may be lagging but i'm sure it will be smoothed out in the coming releases.
One thing i really like is the screen rotation of the omnia in that video... is that impossible to get for our diamonds?
thks but don't work on my diamond
Does anyone know how to assign specific buttons to toggle this in SecondToday? All I see is right and left softkey and neither of them seem to work anyway. Ideally I'd like the Home key to toggle between TF3D and FEWidgets.
Secondly, if I run the FEWidgets alone I can move them around etc. but if it's loaded through SecondToday I cannot, is there a way to fix this?
Hey!
I have now installed cLauncher and find it extremely useful, however, one small problem.
When i go to the options section some of the options are not visible, there seems to be an overlay from something else blcking the tabs across the top which means i cant access them.
Anyone seen this before? Under settings it seems that the 'about' information is showing across the screen blocking the tabs, very strange.
If anyone has the cab for a program that will enable to show you screenshots then i can do that.
Im using tdlaunch at the mo but cLauncher looks alot better.
Any help would be apprecitated. I have searched and there is plenty of guides and help sections for cLauncher but none of them explain about this issue.
Ta!
Idea - If you use the vga fix avaliable from the sticky threads, it should show claunch as per normal, its just a screen resolution issue. I also used to use claunch on my old XDA, very good free alternative to Pocket Plus 4.

Sounded like a logical fix to my problem, however, ran WVGA Fix3, then installed Claunch, again got the same problem though!! Any other ideas? Grrrr
After installing wVGA fix, did you run the WVGA fix prior to running claunch ?

Yeh mate, using tlaunch now, its ok and does what i need although i cant seem to change the icon size, it doesnt matter what value i put in it still keeps the icon the same size.
I guess ill soldier on with the smal icons then...
I guess im right in saying that i cant change the Icon size in TdLaunch?
