Hi guys,
I'm using real Vga with my Uni and I've run onto few problems.
- missing bits of background in the phone skin + small fonts on buttons
(i have seen it posted here some time ago, i just can't seem to find it now :/)
- broken phone code keypad (narrow buttons, small fonts)
And uuhm, there were few others, which i can't recall right now
Thanks in advance

You may download vjbigphone from here:
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJBigPhone
but there isn't a wm6 version available yet.
I'm using VJBigPhone and it works in terms of making the buttons bigger, but fonts are still small :/ maybe i've got an old version, let me try to download again and check again.
Thanks
Oh and also the keypad that shows up when you're phone is locked, it's really narrow, centred, taking only about 30% of screen width :/ anything that i could do with that ?
The biggest loss is the WM6 version of VJbigphone !! I really need this !!!
when I used it on wm5, the fonts didn't change. (but i wasn't bothered)
also i never used lock so i haven't seen that issue.
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.
Hi all,
since I find the Actionscreen feature from the Touch very useful, i thought i'd try to port it to VGA.
With the help of l3v5y in the Prophet forum I figured out everything to do was to resize the graphics and change some RegKeys.
The only thing I couldn't change was the font size, so this is a bit tiny...
I also included the Action Screen in TFlo 3D's Home menu on the left softkey, how it's stated here by mooooooa
I built two cabs one English and one german (since I am from Germany). Other languages can be easily done by editing the corresponding RegKeys.
EDIT:
Forgot the Screenshot...
It's the German Version as you can see.
EDIT:
Since I got a couple of PMs asking how I mapped Wifi Toggle to the right softkey, I'll share it here:
Used the Wlan Button of Raiisak from here and mapped it to the Right softkey using the same method as stated above.
EDIT:
Other Localizations:
Italian by massi959
Norwegian by drerling
Italian by lele.d with big font
To do your own Localization just download the English version and the Locale Reg and translate the Values. Keep in mind that the 5 spaces before each value are for positioning, since the app is badly hardcoded for 320x240 resolution.
EDIT:
Thanks the idea of lele.d I uploaded a new German Version. This one cannot be localized through the reg files since the RegValues are in fact empty and the text is included in the graphics.
So give me some time and I'll do the available localisations, or if anyone of you would...
Also in the new Cabs there is the MMSLauncher.exe linked to the MMS button, since the original key just started an SMS. Also thanks to lele.d.
New Version:
- Raphael style
- Wifi toggle by raiisak included
- Installation to Internal storage possible
- Three localisations included (Deutsch, Englisch, WWE)
- Actionscreen Options included (set background, assign TF3d Home softkeys including custom app)
- zip containing background PSDs for other localisaations (pm me and I'll include them here)
TODO:
- Find a proper file/folder selector (any recommendations appreciated)
- Full customisattion support (theming)
screenshot please?
Thanks again, you are my heros
hi dou you think the font can be changed some way to be bigger?
I also had a look at this a while ago and the fonts appear to be hardcoded and not changeable.
Hi !
I translated this program in French !
click on this reg.

...Where can I find it to Spanish version?
Thanks
... and I've translate it in italian.
I tried to install this one on my Diamond with the original Swedish ROM. But when I press the 'NEW' button it says that it can't start the application due to problem either with the certification. Or the program isn't signed. It also says that it could be some files missing.
My bad. It just didn't work when installed on the 'memory card'.
Info
Hello everyone,

In fact I even don't know if it works with HTC, but it should.

Norwegian Locale
Here`s the norwegian locale.
Run the CAB file and soft reset of your device.
Having this skin, you can choose type and quantity of active functions. You can edit the register or use Schaps Advanced Configration Tool v 3.x to do it.
This solution don't replace the existing CommManager. You can use both. Use the Advavanced Config to choose between skins:
On/Off Button - for standard Diamond skin
Large Button - for Kaiser or DiamondStyle skins.
Buttons names will be displayed in your language.
In Dimond Style skin you can use 7 to 10 buttons (from 12).
WARNING! When you use 10 buttons, place the Sound/Vibrate button in last line for better performance.
In Kaiser skin - 10 buttons (from 12).

Many thanks Balu888 and Nemos (4pda.ru) for drawings updated.
Thanks! I never quite liked having to compromise some options and decide which 6 to include in the original Comm Manager.
Now I can have them all!!!!
Many thanks
Thanks. Nice to see all the communication options all at once rather than a limit.
Now all we need is for one of our skinning masters to come up with a more diamond looking interface and this will be really cool.
EDIT: Just noticed there is no option to turn off 3G!
Can this be made a tab in TF3D?
I renewed the graphic files (Look in the preview), but i´m not able, to make a cab out of these files. I don´t have the knowledge in this way. If someone want´s to make this job, i post here the changed graphics. But at 1st it would be good, to get a feedback.
To integrate it in TF3D, you can use the Softkey Changer. With this program you can replace one tab of the homescreen from Programs or else to Comm Manager.
Is it possible to make a 3G button. I use it a lot to save battery.
New idea
Here I have tried to make skin in Diamond CommMamager style .
Having this skin , you can choose type and quantity of active functions from 7 to 10 (12 accessible). You can edit the register or use Schaps Advanced Configration Tool v 3.2 to do it. Now you don't need to change buttons pictures as in Kaiser CommManager.
BUT I haven't standard icons for buttons InternetSharing and VOIP to finish this work.
Send me, pls... who has...
I´ve got it to run...with some tricks. But i don´t like, that this module don´t recognize, that there are masked .png-files. So all, what should be invisible, is now white. But the functions are okay. It integrates itself into the Comm Manager in the Connection-Tab. But not in the new seperate Comm Manager tab, that´s a problem.
Also there are little graphic errors, which are not in the original graphics.

Really like the concept here. Might need some work on cleaning up the images and maybe adding a little depth. Great work though.

Check the registry keys, for Diamond standard must be:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager]
SupportedFunctions=6
DisableButtonText=3
For Kaiser:
SupportedFunctions=10
DisableButtonText=2
And soft-reset, of course...
Or use Advanced Config \CommManager: choose your 6 function and On/Off Buttons.
i tried more commanager and now i have nothing !!!
somebody can put here the original htc diamond commanager (vga) ?
thank
sorry : i find the solution with advanceconfig

You mean found the solution to delete it and install the original Comm Manager, or found the solution to make it work ? If the answer is the second one, please share it with us !!!!!
This is very nice thank you.
will this replace the existing comms manager? I'd like to have both on my device and remove the new one without problems if I decide.

No, this solution don't replace the existing CommManager. You can use both. Use the Advavanced Config to choose between skins:
On/Off Button - for standard Diamond skin
Large Button - for Kaiser and DiamondStyle skins
in future I want make default skin available in Diamond too.
Diamond Style Comm Manager 10 Button
Drawings are updated - many thanks Nemos (4pda.ru), missing icons are added. But without album orientation.
You can use 7 to 10 buttons (from 12).
WARNING! When you use 10 buttons, place the Sound/Vibrate button in last line for better performance.
Looks great... just two question :
- only for russian ?
- is it possible to uninstall it and go back to default settings ?
But it would be nice to have more than 6 items on the diamond !

Hi,
In WM 6.5 the scrollbar size increases when we tap over it however my scrollbar is not working in this way. Initially it was working but now it's not after i installed few softwares. Is there any registry edit or cab which can make it work in the original way???
Regards,
Naveen
Was not aware that the scroll-bar changes in size when moving over it......via settings though you can change the width and height of it......
Not sure what the registry settings are but it can be easily done using Advanced configuration tools, SK tools, Diamond tweak....whatever you like best....I use them all.......
Hi Frank,
Actually in Mega, when we tap over scrollbar it's width gets increased (the highlighted portion in the attached image gets increased on tap). Advanced Configuration Tool doesn't provide this tweak.
Regards,
Naveen
No that's correct......advanced configuration tools makes it wider by default setting (only).......it's a solution when the widening"" does not work......

restore the "htc black" theme, and you'll see the scrollbar enlarge again!
I'm working on it to have a REAL black theme (why HTC has called it black, if it's brown/orange???)
It's not working even with the HTC Black theme. I've also tried the tweak provided in the Leo forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=617400&highlight=scrollbar ). But that too is not working for me
Soft reset first and if not work than hard reset are the other options......back-up your data.....!
Hi Frank,
soft reset doesn't solve purpose. Already Tried. even tried Hardreset it works in starting but after software installation it behaves in same way . I am not sure which software is causing the problem. May be .net framework installation. But removing it leads to non functioning of many software.
Still searching for a solution. Will post if i find anything.
Regards,
Naveen
same for me
I have the same problem. Would appreciate it if someone helps me on ths scrollbar widening thing.
i hade also this problem.
