True vga problems - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi, after installing the true vga hack i seem to have loads of scrren errors, i.e the start button icon is missing, some of the icons are not right and the phone keypad does not fit the screen.
Any ideas ?

You need to read through the VGA files thread:

I need more space for the Hammerskin in my screen

Hello all,
I have recently installed the TodayPlus program and the HammerSkin 1.05.6 on my Qtek 9100 and its awsome.
However I do have a problem with fitting the main page to my screen resulting in a ugly scroll bar to appear.
So I need to get some more space in the screen and I can live without the lower bar which as standard includes an icon for the Comm Manager.
Is it possible to remove this part and if so.....how ?

There's a russian program that will force remove the tray.
My VJToggleToday will remove the soft keys and start bar as required, and will eventually remove the tray when I can get some time to finish writing it.
Have a read through the end of the VJToggleToday thread to find the russian program.
Please post screenshots. Not enough people use TodayPlus, it's a shame it's dead. However, I found it to be heavy on resources, but still amazing.

Hey,
thanks for the input.....I actually found a very simple solution: Delete Init_tray file from the start folder under windows.......and gone it was
Screen shots.....how do I do that ?

i have posted some here
Yes it is surely taking a lot of rescources however I havent found a similar tool elsewhere which gives the same result......unless you need to pay for it....and I hate that :wink: :wink:
I'll try and make some screen shots

Hello vijay555, from your post I guess, you are not using TodayPlus. What are you using for your today screen, saw some of your screen shot it look great...

oz VGA anyone have a screenshot of this running.

Curious as to what this app does and how well it works. Anyone have a screenshot of this running.
Thanks
JM
I use TrueVGA and it works well. You can see all Icons only the CommManager is blurred.
Please attend the the correct order of installation.
1. SdkCerts.cab
2. MvRTrueVGA_v1.3.cab

Can I ask why you use TrueVGA (and not OzVGA)?
I've not tried either on the Ameo, and before I go for one, I was curious if anyone who has tried both knew of a reason to go for one instead of the other...
Ta muchly

There are some problems with OzVga. For example, few Icons are missing.
Greets
I tried installing the files above, as OzVGA had always been somewhat a mixed bag of giddiness and disappointment for me.
In the end, I've had to uninstall TrueVGA as well, mainly because my signal meters and start menu icon etc etc would not show. I installed in the correct order and yet still nothing.
As a seasoned XDA-er, is there a trick I'm unwittingly missing?
Cheers
Ant
didnt lose my signal icon, but the one telling me if its G or 3G, connected to HSDPA etc seems to come and go now, rather than always be there as expected.
other than that, and some of the settings pages being messed up, works nicely.
Yeah, for my case, my data connection icon always display itself as trying to connect to a WiFi network even though that's not true. Some of the settings screens are badly messed up, as you have mentioned.
I have another query: does the Side Display works in true VGA mode?
I tried to attach the keyboard to the screen but nothing comes up.
The Keyboard did not work. I use the Resco Keyboard it is much better than the original.
Oh, I wasn't referring to the software keyboard input. I mean, when you attached the hardware keyboard onto the screen of the Athena, there will be one strip of visible space of the screen that shows some status like time, messages etc.
It works in normal VGA mode, but I cannot get the display in true VGA mode.

The "one strip of visible space of the screen" works ok in a true VGA mode in mine device. You should not attach but close by the keyboard the screen. Sometimes it doesn't show the white strip, but try to move a little bit the keyboard, because it reacts to by sencors to magnets on the keyboard.
Yeah, you're right. I need to move the keyboard around until the display comes on. Thanks!

My Comm Manager, phone pad, Connection icon (E (edge), etc) and password screen don't display properly. Did you have these issues and if so, how did you fix them?
Also, what did you use to create your theme? I want to create a new theme for the newer resolution.
Thanks in advance.
When I last used real VGA mode it was on my Universal.. Again there were icon problems, but on this very forum there were VGAFILES packs that had file to put in the windows directory that replaced the missing icons.
I cant remember the exact details, but I suggest people having problems look through the Universal forum for VGA info as there was a LOT there.
Hope this helps.
I have all about VGA screen's file for my universal. But since i still waiting for my athena, i can't decided wich file is needed. Just icon or something?
Is anyone using SPB Mobile Shell with any of the VGA apps? If I have it loaded on the today screen, the pda locks up when it tries to dispay the Today screen. The only fix thus far is to remove it from the Today screen.
Thanks

yes u are right the pda locks when using SPB Mobile shell. i have a question about the keyboard how to use it because in true VGA mode i see NO keyboard its white space with no letters and also can someone confirm if resco keyboard can be used in trueVGA mode?
I´am using the Resco keyboard and it works fine.

Athena Project Feature Request

- Fix all trueVGA graphical problems. Icons, screens, etc. I would like to run in trueVGA full time without having these types of issues.
- Unlock Extended ROM so people can put their own apps in for the next hard reset. ;-)
- Put the "Tray Display" utility into the ROM so people can show or hide their trays. File name "traydisplayinstall_196.CAB".
- Setup the "BlueTooth Tray Status & BT Audio Util" on the ROM. File name "btIO-0.5.CAB".
- Maybe the functionality to add/remove program icons from the tray without having to modify the registry? ;-)
- All black VGA theme. Similar to the default WM6 theme but all black.
- If possible, maybe an updated version of Pirazu so we can control a mouse cursor with the joystick?
- Alternative to BlueMouse so we can use a BT mouse cursor on the device. BlueMouse is nice but it costs.
Make it work like "Touch" may be the looks....

For me, these first five would be a darn good start.
- With #1 - Usable dialer in TrueVGA would be #1 on my list.
Couple more (may already be fixed in WM6, but have yet to plunge):
- WiFi On/Off is flaky unless you actually go into the Comm Manager (e.g., PhoneAlarm and other programs are not effective)
- I still have problems doing multiple mappings to Win and OK buttons. AEBPlus does this kinda, but then other buttons get mucked up. Given few number of buttons, this is really limiting.
Wish list:
- USB-powered Beer Tap. I know the low-power port might be an issue, but I'm sure this should be doable. Integration with MS VC would also be great, "Computer, pour beer." (All I can say is, it's been a long day!)
Actually I should have just put mapping of the vueFlo API. That should open up the rest of the developers to building cool widgets also.

That would be cool! I'm in favour!
i think rotate screen would a great feature when you see a photo .
widcomm bluetooth stack =) for dun
also a way to use another windows phone as a bt headset like the touch (if possible)
Solid & Fast ROM compatible with previous backups
Damn guys...you're not asking for much are you...hehe. Actually I quite like the sound of the all Black VGA ROM with Touch like interface.
But hey, I'll settle for a an all black super reliable and damn fast ROM in vanilla favour.
You guys have made some great suggestions, that I can't argue with. All I can say..is I'd love a ROM that I can use my Spb Backup files with...without corrupting any software, so when you release version 0.1, 0.2 etc...it will still be compatible with my backup files, making the switching of ROM's a quick thing to do.
I hate my phone being out of action. and having to re-install everything again.
I third the black vga theme. Also in vga mode is it possible to make the start bar a little bigger so it is more finger friendly. Something the size of when it it is in qvga mode would be great. Also when you push the start bar and the drop down list pops up it would be great if that was larger with larger text. Also at least for me in vga mode in wm6 none of the 3g, signal strength icons show up in the start bar only the time does.
The only thing i'm against is the vueFlo. Except the part about using vueFlo to sense when to rotate the screen.

here try this
WARNING...THIS IS NOT REVERSIBLE....NOT WITHOUT CHANGING SOME REG. ENTRIES... AT LEAST (and i don't know which one's need to change!!)
works well with se VGA too esp. if you have fading eyesight!!!
How about an icon on the task bar that rotates screen.
Also, when using the device in QVGA mode, smaller icons on today screen, start/program screen, start/setting screens.
When in VGA mode, but running a QVGA program , show a matching size bigger soft key buttons.
Show connection icons (H, 3G, G) correctly when in true vga mode.

Back to TF3D when in landscape mode

Hi,
I just did a hard-reset on my phone, because gyrator (think) wasn't working properly and i hoped that a reset would fix this. However, i'm still having the same problem as before.
In TF3D everything works smooth, exactly how it should be working. The problem occurs when i'm in any application (typing sms or e-mail / browing with opera). As soon as i turn my phone to landscape modus, it turns the screen like it should, but after one second in landscape mode, the phone goes back to the TF3D interface. As a result, i'm not able to browse in landscape modus or type a sms/e-mail in landscape modus.
I think this has something to do with Gyrator (still all the standard settings after installation), since before the reset, the problem occured when i installed the program. However, it might also be another application.
I installed the following programs (i ignored the programs that i'm sure of that are not causing the problem, since i installed them for the first time and i had the problem before):
- G-Alarm
- Coreplayer
- Advanced Configuration Tool 3.2 (still standard settings)
- Massimo Colored Top Bar
- Microsoft .NET CF 3.5
- NoData
- Resco explorer
- Schap's advanced task manager
- Schap's registry editor
- tnyynt SD tuneUp
I tried the search function on the forum, but couldn't find a possible solution. Are there any people here that are familier with my problem?
Thanks!
I had the same issue. I isolated the issue to having 2 programs that handled rotation on some level.
I have exactly the same problem (tested with comics reader, opera...)
Yet I have uninstalled Gyrator... Could Gyrator have corrupted something? I suspect also the colored taskbar to be somehow responsible (as it had already corrupted my boot with another customised taskbar...)
EDIT: Problem Solved
I just uninstalled the last colored taskbar which had not the problem with corrupted boot, but which was the reason for this bug... problem solved for me
Damn, i loved the colored taskbar...is it still possible to have both (maybe a different way of installing the colored taskbar)?

Interesting. I also have the colored icons taskbar. So far running only on program seems to work on my end. I will keep tabs on this. Thanks.

A more complete test would be necessary to really determine the problem... the good news is that everything is ok now for me
the bad news is no more colored taskbar until another try (next time I install a colored taskbar, I will try every known crash test )
There does seem to be a conflict with Opera and replacing the task bar icons, specifically the battery icon. Try installing Schaps Advanced Config and change the "Today -> Show on titlebar" from "Battery" to "Clock".
I was playing some more today. It does seem to be the colored task bar. I added the additional icons for Bluetooth. After that, the issue re-ocurred. A soft reset seemed to solve it and no issues since.
You should try the darklord colored titlebar, it does not cause these conflicts. Search the Blackstone forums for the link as I don't know it by heart and the original version is in Italian (the link in this forum is google translated).

This is the one I am using.
I also had darklord colored titlebar and had the same problem. When I switched to landscape it crashed into TF3D. Then I uninstalled titlebar and everything works right. For me the landscape view is more important then colored titlebar. You could try to install colored titlebar by the .dll file, not by .cab, but I don't think that will solve the problem. The best would be, if somebody who has colored titlebar and no crashing problem, would write how he did it.

For me it was the same but then with Massimo's colored topbar icons.
I've uninstalled it and now it works just fine.
If someone has the colored topbar icons and doesn't have the crashing problem, please post which one you're using.
I have still have the bar installed and have had no issues since the last soft reset. I was playing in Opera and You Tube with no issues.
I am going to install changescreen again and configure it. I will post results.
Jacne Blue-earth taskbar installed and everything looks ok until now

Issues with fullscreen games and emulators

Marble world 2 worked in full screen onece now the bottom is always chopped off??
why do some full screen apps sometimes get "chopped" off at the bottom / top its odd.
i cant make nester work on tp2 atall yes it loads but again chopped off at bottom would not landscape and tp2 would not allow me to assign keyboard keys to controll it i attempted to configure the controls many times to no avail
the sims 2 says only works in landscape mode pls change screen oriantation and try again; did this to no avail it switches to portrait when it loads then throuhs up the error
picodrive did not work it loaded up and then crashed and closed
anyone with some light on the above things would be brill! thanks
so sorry if this is the wrong section for this post!
I hade that same problem, solved it after installing MorphGear,,
Check this out
http://www.spicypixel.com/web/page/morphgear/Download.aspx
First install the morphgear.. than install the emulator you want ( in your case the Ines )
Its working perfect, you can also assign the keys you want, and get full screen with sound..
Try it ouT !
soon as the misses put her naff tv on tonight i will be checking this out! is morphgear an emulator its self?
how do you get it to go full screen? Right now mine is like a 150 by 150 pixel screen haha.
nvm i got it, in case anybody wonders you just set the screen size from 100% to window size.
it will not flip round to landscape how does one do this it does in the menu when first loaded but the black background and the morph gear logo dont go landscape and neither do the games also some games i load it says no memmory error and loads console up but it means nothing. when i try to landscape it it emains in portrait i.e if i open the keyboard hoevery the bottom off the application chops of 10mm and tou can see the today screen behind it
how do you get the pretend on screen game pad to work also?
What emulators are you using?
problems to config the inputs buttons on TP2 soft morphgear
what'sup everybody, well i have one problema with morphgear, everything is ok but the inputs buttons i just can't config, when i tap the (...) and than tap the button that i would like to change appears the number 229.
i can config the directional only. inthe case of the street fighter for exemple the low punch,medium punch and high punch is the number 229,smae thing with the kicks. i'm stock with just one button but i have 5 other to config. i have the 229 number
help me plz....
i got the same problem and can`t find anny solutions :S
(you can use the "Ctrl", "Del" and the 1. button on the front, but its only 3 buttons and there position is not good for playing)
Try using K For Raphael from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425646
It worked for me.
The only thing that's still a bit weird is assigning the d-pad buttons. Up and Down seem to be switched with Left and Right, so I have to assign them differently. Anyone else having this problem?

yes... it's an issue. the k for raphael.cab needs to be edited to work with the tp2. although the keyboard from the tp is close, obviously, its mapped differently. I can get it to work once in a while but has to be remapped every stinking time you open Morphgear! hopefully, someone with a little skill can fix this soon...
The Rhodium (Touch Pro 2) is a WVGA (Wide VGA) device, which means it has screen resolution of 480x800. Normal VGA is 480x640, so there's a "bar" of 800-640=160 pixels left over at either the bottom or top of your screen when using applications which are written for VGA display.
However, there is a tool which virtually forces your screen to VGA. Basically this means you'll still have the black bar, but all VGA apps will work. Search this forum for "WVGA fix" and fetch it.
As for the black bars being there, call it evolution. I'm rather certain your TV gives you programs in 4:3 and 16:9, black bars are common there too, live with it as it's better than stretched images

True, that program works well. Been waiting use it since I had my htc wizard. Wish we could get the r for tp2 so we could have the buttons mapped properly.
emulation
Well there is smartgear that works great for 5 dollars. Also have you guys heard of Fcpse1.0 it a playstation emulator that works great.
