Hi Folks!
First of all apologies... I have searched for this but can't find it.
Brand new to the O2 XDA Mini S (4 days).
I have downloaded some skins for use with wisbar advance 2, but when I install them my menubar (top and bottom) doesn't change.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Try this please ::
I have attached a skin file <Vista Dreams >(Zipped Folder)
Simply Right Click to Extract all Files to ur Pc.
Now U have a folder <Vista Dreams > with many files including the skin file.
Simply Copy this entire folder (unzipped Folder) to ---
Program Files\Lakeridge\WisBar Advance\Themes
I hope this shall solve ur problem.
Do let me know if it doesn't..
we've only just begun
By the way..All the best with your Five Day old MiniS Matt
Great!
Thanks very much for that, I got there!... Although I have to be honest, I don't think I did it the way you advised. I extracted the files and sent the folder to my synchronise folder on my pc. I then imported the files on the XDA and the menu bars changed. The background hasn't though!?
Can I be a real pain and ask you just to jot down some idiot (and I mean IDIOT) proof instructions on how to do it properly please?
I love gadgets but am a COMPLETE buffoon when it comes to doing anything with them!!
Very much appreciated.
Matt
(by the way) may not be back on-line till Sunday evening (13th) - working shifts and all that!!. )
Hang on just thought - Got my XDA for going on-line! Told you I was a BUFFOON! :lol:

Good and bad news from down under - OK, the good ones first:
The O2 XDA II arrived in down under as well And I would say it's the best thing since sliced bread - no, it's even better than that 8) Only problem so far is that It's sometimes a bit difficult to keep it in my sweaty hand while I sit - at 35 degrees in the shade on this lovely Christmas day - in the garden.
I have one problem though. I looked very envious on this O2 Active screen that tekguru refered to in his preview at http://www.tekguru.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=468

but my Australian version doesn't have that and it's not on the CD either Hm, is there any other way I could get this? Or is there any tool to place Internet shortcuts on my Today screen? Right now I use tdLaunch, but I didn't find a way to use it for URLs...
G'Day & Merry Christmas,
Don't know how you can get the O2 Active but here's a suggestion on accomplishing similar ability using TDLaunch. There are two ways actually :
Option 1
Create a button in TDLaunch and use the following details :
Name : Whatever you would like your link to appear as...
File Path : \Windows\iexplore.exe
Command Line : www.yourURLhere.com
Options 2 :
Create a favorites entry to your URL using Pocket Internet Explorer. Lets call it YourFavorite.
Create a button in TDLaunch and use the following details :
Name : Whatever you would like your link to appear as...
File Path : \Windows\Favorites\YourFavorite.url
Either one will give you what you want and open your default connection to Internet and load the URL. I found the first option to be somewhat more reliable. Don't know why.
Hope this helps. Regards.
Good on ya, mate! That does the trick...
Happe New Years as well
Hey guys it would be great if we had some screen shots to go along with this great TDLaunch tip! 8)
Farnold, glad to see it worked for you.
Qman, will post some screen shots later today.
Cheers,

Nope, mate. There's nothing in the top left corner for me to click - besiders the START button...
The OZ version is not equipped with the O2 programs...
hi.. cani i get rid of the o2 stuff, like the active screens etc...
ive got skinning software but the o2 stuff always seems to be there, esp if i have to reset so would be good to get rid of it.
thanks for any help..
hi, does anyone know how to remove the o2 software from a xda2.
thanks in advance
It's all about using the SEARCH BUTTON first...............
... But as I'm in a good mood, read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=107499#107499
Did it on my Alpine, worked a treat.
I just ran across some pics of the Orange m600 (HTC Prophet) today screen and noticed that it uses a really cool plug-in, different than any today screen plug-in I've yet to see (with the exception to WA2).

Would it be possible for anyone that has one of these to extract the plug-in from the ROM image?
u sure? I had orange rom and hated that plugin....
nonetheless here it is if you want to try it:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Universal/Extended_ROMs/Orange_Extended_ROM/UI_Orange_UK_0727.cab
cheers
may i ask why you did not like this plugin? did it slow down the device too much?
From my point of view I prefer the normal today screen.
There's a guy in our office has one and likes the plugin.
Try it and see, that's all I can say.

it does not works because inside the cab file there is nothing except some shortcuts and one folder in programs folder

Thanks for looking into the cab-file (why I didn't do it myself?)
Is there any way to get the Orange plugin or is it an endless quest......
Kick.... :lol:
You can try to get from the ftp here, which is the extended ROM of Orange Magician.
The problem is, you do not know which one it is. Make your guess.
BACKUP YOUR PHONE before installing any of those CABs. You may not able to remove it later.
Anyway, my guess
Orange_New_Today.sa.CAB
Let us know what you've got.
No it is just TSK inside... i have not found in any of the orange ext roms such plugin
TSKs are almost regular CABs. You can check it - change the TSK extension to CAB and open in OCPSoft WinCE Cab Manager.
I know this of course, my point is that in Orange_New_Today.sa.CAB there is only one TSK file
Hi guys, it's been a while since I last posted on this board.
I have recently moved from XP Home Edition to Vista Ultimate. The experience so far is quite good (the fact that my laptop has an ATI X1600 graphics card and 1GB of RAM does help, although more RAM would be even better).
One thing that I am not satisfied with is the dull device icon in Windows Mobile Device Center (reminds me of the HP H4150):

}
I thought there might be a way of changing it to something more interesting - well, say to a picture of our lovely HTC Universal?
Google gave me this: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/sams...s-mobile-device-center-picture-icon-hack.html
mrailing (a.k.a Michael) of pdaphonehome.com gets the full credit for this. The instructions start on post #3, but as I am typing now there are no Universal icons available on that page yet, so you can get the zipped icons here first (see attachment - I currently have the white prototype, black O2 xda Exec and i-mate JasJar), and then proceed to Michael's page.
It should be a very straight forward tweak, and works for both WM5 and WM6, so enjoy!
P.S.: don't worry, it won't turn your Windows Mobile Device Center into Chinese.
P.P.S.: if you want your own version of icon to be made, I am happy to convert it to .ico for you, as long as it is at least 256px by 256px large, preferably with a solid colour background.
Many people have said that they still couldn't see the icon. May I remind you that you must UNINSTALL THE DRIVER first right after you have copied the icon to your device, unplug it and plug it back in. You should get it then.
Read the instructions on the website carefully!
HTC Shift
Hey Everybody,
could someone be kind enough to make a icon for the HTC Shift please?
Thanks

The att one on the left is the current one I have which is the closest thing but very hard to use while driving and running around, which I got from PhilD41
I just changed the all the buttons to invert when they are pressed down where his only inverted the number and you couldn't see it under your finger while pressing it. If someone can just create one I can skin it myself, I just need a base to put them on. Thanks.
If anyone wants mine Ive attached it, to install just extract to windows directory.ONLY IF YOU HAVE HTC DAILER
you can try DXC's iphone dialpad, any style that's doesn't have a .5 at the end.

How do i use this flash dialpad? i have wm2003 and macromedia flash 7 installed but when i dial a number nothing happens...
Sorry, works fine here...
You just need flash 7, dial a number and press the green button...
oh, the EXE exports the data to the storage card, so I guess you need one too...
But i can make a version that exports to a automatic temp folder managed by you system.
hm... i have a storage card and in the temp folder are the files.
I use a german rom wm2003 rom for my magician. There is probably a difference between the folder names: the storage card is called Speicherkarte for example.
Too bad that it isnt working for me
A while ago I made a dialer that is full screen. It has no functionality other than dialing, and only works when installed to main memory...

Great job on this skin!!!! Only one request. Can you make the SMS threaded? I tried to use it but I only see my side of the conversations, not what the replies were....
Again, I applaud this skin!!!!!
The conversations work fine in mine.
I have been searching all over, first I love this skin, but I was wondering what settings would need to be changed for the alphabet index response area to be bigger and be able to use the selection and scrolling from the left side of the screen? I don't need the actual bar moved just the ability of use on the left hand side. I'm left handed and in order to scroll I have to dig into the right side of the screen so much my hand covers the letter label. any help would be appreciated.
May be you help me, I make dimond skin for PocketCM, but it not work.

Nice Job Anja.
Great skin, thank you. I have been playing with his and i have one comment on this skin. Sometimes some of my contact disappear. When i restart PCMContacts they are back. And that goes on and on. Not the same contacts but it differs. Any thought on this?

Hi. well done.
But what can i do if it isnt works?
Where should i copy the files, and settings.ini?
where do i extract the files to?
Like already said in this thread, DO NOT extract the files, just copy the .rar or .zip into pocketCM dir and enable it on the skin options
