That crappy wm5 'wait' thingy

Please if any of the rocket scientists on this forum know of some way to change that 'simon says' looking wait animation for wm5 then let us know.
I cant stand the way MS makes their interfaces look like a frikkin Fisher Price gadget and each time that thing loads and makes me watch it cycle red, green, blue, yellow the more angered I get.

:shock: :shock: :shock:
Never gave this much thought, but if it bothers you that much:
1) Get a coreres.dll.0409.mui file. (should be in any good ROM dump, or use TestWM5.exe by mamiac)
2) Change the bitmaps using ResourceHaker or any other res editor.
3)Check Asukal's posts for how to re-sign the file, then put it in windows directory.
Good luck.

This is the thread on changing for WM2003. The info might be helpful.

sorry, just gotta laugh at the prospect of having a hamster on my screen now...
though i'd take that over the spinning thing too...

I loved the little hamster!
Although a few frames of VirtualGirl might not go amiss!

lol, indeed sir, indeed.
so...anyone want to try this on WM5? I know it should work but still....

Very cute idea, I will try this my self soon with a custom graphics.
Just one problem I am not anxious to combat:
In WM5 system MUI's will not load without a signature. This means creating a certificate, provisioning device then signing DLL. I know it can be done, but still, a lot of extra hassle.

Exactly. I don't think it worked when I tried it way back when, but I don't think I signed it...

Not sure I understand what this thread is all about? It seems to have been posted today (or have I got this wrong?) but points to software which has been being used for months and referred to in various threads?
Is there something I am missing here or have you actually published an .ini file somewhere which lets users use all those icons (by pointing the iTunes icon to windows media player etc)? Or have you managed to get the sking to run on start up or have you managed to get the slider to hog less memory?
Please tell us what is going on in this thread!

[Q] Paint for wm??

where i can get paint for windows mobile??
thx

Try VSPainter or Pencil Box they are not free though

too bad that they are not free
are there any free programs?

If you're after an exact copy of MSPaint then CEPaint is what you're after, though again it's not free.
ETA: Actually, give this a shot, it's free.

PPC Diamond - Paint/Image Editors

For PPC image editors, you probably can't get much better than these three:
Pocket Picture (Just-as-good freeware):
http://osdmsoftware.googlepages.com/pocketpicture
Pocket Artist 3 (Pay-application):
http://www.conduits.com/products/artist/
XnView (Free cross-platform):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xnview
http://www.xnview.com/
http://www.xnviewpocket.org/
Having tried almost every image editor on the Diamond, I can conclude that the above options are the very best available, especially considering the requirement for full VGA compatibility, photo editing, multi-format etc.

Which version?
http://www.xnviewpocket.org/download_uk.html
The
"XnView Pocket v1.40 (Pocket PC 2002-2005/Windows Mobile 5-6)"
is for xscale but there is a:
XnView Pocket v1.40 (Pocket PC ARM)
which one is for the Diamond?

I just found out that there is in fact a freeware version of VSpainter which I found here

The one which is included in Dutty's ROM is PDACraft Paint.

No one can help me? I handled it to save some "realize" icons into a DLL file... but windows mobile resizes the 80px icons as 32px...

So you never got a reply to this?! How disappointing. I especially like your thong bikini icon ! hah hah, never seen one that made such great use of space!

Lol...proof of what a nerd I am....the math icon caught my attention before I scrolled down and saw the previous post.

hah! that IS funny! ... so what's up with no one ever replying to the guy... I happened upon several posts of his because he explained how to make folders with icons within Start Menu on windows mobile. I'd never seen that anywhere else... so I followed a link and saw this. (kidding) what the hell's wrong with your forum that he never got a reply??(/k)
At least in my clunky old T-Mobile Wing forum, we'd'a been all over this kind of visual enhancement (the folders and icons)... AH well, XDA is so vast and wide, it's like crossing a great mountain pass the descending into whole new valleys and landscapes... when going from device to new device.
So... since XDA Destiny (not the name of a phone, though it wouild be a good name!) is such that I will likely never come across you again, adios, amigo!

3d-printed wide-screen car-holder

Not being able to find a car-holder that would hold my Touch Pro in widescreen
with the keyboard extended firmly and still allow for a power-cable,
I designed this car-holder.
It ataches to anything that can carry a camera (1/4") and to the slide-in car.holders
from HAMA (they sell suction cups, air-hole -attachments, glue-ons and screw-ons).
You can attach the supplied and wider third-party cabless, reach the power-button
and it even comes with a hole to keep yout touch-pen.
If anyone wants one of these,
I can print them for 35eur+postage on my 3D-printer.

You don´t seem to have that printer for a long time yet to not know http://www.thingiverse.com/
It´s the first place to look for the STL-files of things ment to be printed.

Didn't think to look there. I thought you would've posted a link in here, but oh well.
Thanks!

IGES or STEP
Hi, is it possible to get a IGES or STEP File from you. I want to make one at Work, but from aluminum, with a CNC Mill.
My CAD/CAM Software takes STL files, but import of STL is not the best. It works better with IGES or STEP.
At the moment I am working on a Desktop Dokingstation, its not ready but will be in a short period of time. Will post it here.

Like this?
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2195
It´s the original Alibre Design files.
With milling you´d have to work very deep in the material without your toolhead touching the sides
and you certainly have to run multiple faces. I don´t think that will work well.
I´m using my Touch Pro only for development now that I switched to the Nexus One.

I have to say that it pretty cool stuff. Nice work Marcus. What cool times we live in when you can design and fab your own accessories for your phone. Thanks for sharing.
