Curious as to what this app does and how well it works. Anyone have a screenshot of this running.
Thanks

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.

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.

were you able to get that .cab file to work
for dialing I figured out to disable smart dialing and you can dial without the contacts coming up and covering the keys
The CommManager is not added in this programm, maybe someone knew another programm for it.
cab works great and is what i was looking for sorry for being newbish. Thanks alot for the cab
what today themes are you guys using with this program. Im finding that most the themes out there will load but the picture on the theme will only be small picture in the middle of the screen instead of taking up the whole screen.

are you looking in the correct place? i.e. HKCU
its there on Tmobile Ameo ROM, and seems to be a standard WM5 reg setting since i got the info from an old WM5 site explaining how to get pictures bigger in the background on WM5 devices.
if your provider has removed it, try adding it
Added HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\DPI as Dword value 96 in dec (0x60 in hex)
Nothing happens

Remember to do a soft-reset after every reg edit. Use a software, or turn off device for 10 seconds and turn on again, before doing the reset
After searching high and low, and less than honest websites, forums, et al I have finally managed to create proper themes for 640x480 (and by default, 480x640). Apparently it is as easy as taking your favorite VGA theme and changing the DPI from 192 to 96. Brilliant.
So searching further, and now really entering shady sites, there does not seem to be any WM5 (nor 6) proper VGA skins for the phone dialer.
VJbigphone is ok and all, but leaves a lot to be desired. Basilings Dopod 900 hack (the black one with the apple logo) doesnt improve on anything.
Installing a QVGA skin works, but you only cover 25% of the screen with the rest imaging the previous screen.
I have resorted to voice dialling until something shows up and allows a 640x480 skin to be applied.
Is there anyway to get a truevga phoneskin?
Hi Calavaro,
I am switching from M600 - QVGA device to X7500 - VGA and looking for all info I can get... What TrueVGA programm exactly you would recomend. Where to download?
For Dialer Pad check http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=4832
it is in Russian, but you can see screens and links. There are many QVGA, but also VGA nice theams.
Any other ideas on VGA stuff?
Regards,
Di
I use OzVGA (http://oz.sciox.org/) with great success. Its very easy to switch rom 640x480 back to defaut. Im sure that is true for TrueVGA as well, but I found Oz to fit my taste more.
I also use WA2 default skin, it helps with the top bar status icons. The default skin is perfect for my needs.
I also use Pocket Informant 2007. I absolutely dislike the built in contact list. Horrible, and a step back to before WM2002...
I also use Pocketbreeze 5 to fill up the extra today screen space. All thanks to one helpful soul here at the forums. The name eludes me right now.
Other than that I dont use any more specific things for VGA mode.
Thanks for the link, Ill be sure to study it in detail.
Thanks a lot!
On Eten M600 (QVGA) I am using:

Description updated 08 Nov 2008
I stopped using the HTC Diamond dialer after I found out that it uses 10MB of memory (8MB on some improved ROMs like SwiftBL) at all times and is partly responsible for the device's laggy dialer performance.
The default WM dialer is an ugly grey but after finding this thread about QVGA skins I decided to make my own black skin. I'd like to thank the starter of that thread, Raceit, for helping me to get started with the image files and trying to fix them for me. Cheers dude!
I don't know how to make CABs yet so here's a zip. (EDIT: CAB available in post #3.) The orange colouring in the screenshots was part of my theme, not part of the skin.
To install, first disable the HTC dialer, see post #2 for more details.
If you would like to install the black 3D skin pictured below, the easiest method is to install the CAB provided by mic_888 in post #3. If you plan to use another skin that doesn't have a CAB then I advise installing the CAB anyway, then copying the images files from the ZIP archive into the Windows folder. There are 2 advantages of installing a CAB - firstly so that the image files are unprotected and easier to overwrite and secondly to make uninstallation easier. Just uninstall the CAB to remove whatever skin you are using and revert to standard the standard WM grey skin.
Hint: The Matrix, Flat Black and Sunset skins in this thread feature transparent buttons with different edge colours, feel free to use them with your own backgrounds. It's just a case of replacing the two png images with your own choice of portrait/landscape images
EDIT: Matrix and Flat Black skins added, see post #24 - CAB now added!
EDIT: Sunset skin added, see post #29 - CAB now added!
EDIT: Grey/White skin added, see post #71 - CAB now added!
EDIT: Dark TouchFlo skin by nhvoltagenh, see post #74-#75
Please also check out the skins by holdemdogg, starting at post #49!
Edit: More Skins, good ones too...

Information about using the standard WM dialer
The main drawback of the standard WM dialer is that you cannot use it for video calling. Not an issue for me personally.
The advantages are that it saves almost 10MB of memory, even on ROMs with an optimized dialer, and gets rid of that slight lag when making or answering a call when you're not sure if it's actually going to do anything. A further benefit is that the answer and reject keys are much more difficult to press accidentally, removing the need for an additional locking program (Answerkeys Disabler, TouchLockPro, S2U2, etc.)
The HTC dialer can be disabled using DiamondTweak or Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool. You must also disable the HTC Volume Control if you wish to be able to adjust the volume in-call. The only working method that I know of is to use this CAB here.
Edit: It turns out that disabling the HTC dialer also loses the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar. I had a quick google and found this solution. I've tested it and it works fine on my Diamond. File attached below for convenience.
Edit 2: The developers of the bluetooth icon app have released a new version that's more compatible with VGA! See below.

Nice one, glad someone else finds it useful! Can you post any more information? I don't know where those files are.
If anyone has any requests for other colours or designs, let me know. Also please feel free to post your own designs here.
so all i do is run the cab and then 10 mb will be freed up? does this work on the sprint diamond?
Any idea how to undo disable HTC volume control if I plan to go back to default HTC dialer?
Is the cab changing some registry settings?

No you need to disable the HTC dialer and volume control too. See post #2 for details. I don't know enough about the differences in the sprint but I expect so.

Well done, I'd like to try this!
But, as I use skilty's TF3D Matrix theme with it's skinned dialer, I'd like to request a Matrix WM dialer skin, please. For personal use and to share it in the Matrix Trilogy theme resource thread.
Maybe you want to have a go at it? It would be great if you could design one with 'real' 1234567890 digits. Perhaps from one of the free Matrix fonts.. And it would be bonus if you could design another skin with 'actual' Matrix font digits, like these.
Or maybe you can just use skilty's dialer artwork? I could ask skilty. Anyway, TIA!
Thanks Davey101!
I'm waiting for that since a long time!!!

News flash!
The Matrix trilogy ended, lamely, 5 years ago!
I think it might be easiest to use transparent buttons with a simple green border so that the matrix background image is seen through the buttons. I'll see what I can come up with, unless you'd like to have a go?
I don't know how to change the button font, sorry.
I use Vito Winterface....
I have made these buttons but not centered!
(I take the same gif mesure of Black VGA Dialer skin: 86x56, 128x54, 142x56 and 180x54)
If somebody could help me...

Hi all,
Is anyone able to develope a Dialer skin that increases the numeric button sizes, There is a big bar of space at the top of the dialer that could be used for the other buttons we use, Or can we remove the call history list to increase the buttons?

I'm sure it is possible but that would involve replacing or editing the dialer software, not just the skin. The standard software has a fixed layout and we can replace the images used but not change their size or position.
It might be worth looking around for an alternative dialer...

Hi all
(Excuse me for my very bad english, I'm french )
I would like to have a skin for MyMobiler, which looks like Rhodium devices.
I have tried the Diamond skin, but it didn't match for the screen, because the resolution is different (640x480 for the Diamond and 800x480 for Rhodiums)
The Diamond skin is available here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466565
I think you can easily adapt this Diamond skin for Rhodium resolution values (400x800px).
I don't know how to do this, so if someone would be able to make one, it will be a very good thing for all MyMobiler users who have a Rhodium !
Thanks !

give me a little bit time and it is reday for the TP2. I never know that it is possible for the TP2. But i have changed some things in MyMobiler. I have a very nice grafic for that (link).
Waouw Nice skin indeed ! I've download it immediately.
Well, I think you know MyMobiler software, so if you can do a skin for MyMobiler as beautiful as the skin you made for Manila, its gona be perfect ^^ Take all the time you need !

Hi salucsam,
it is ready for 80%. But i have one problem. About the grafic is
a BMP file the background i have is white and i cant make it
transparent. Ok i have one more idea but i must test it.
At least the 4 little control button. But this i a case of time .
I love the hacking and modding stuff.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Edit:
It is ready. A little bit quick and dirty. At this time only the background
and the zoom factor to 70%. You can change the factor in the xml file.
So be my guest and test it please....
Very good ! But.. Not perfect, as you will see on the screenshot I have take :
http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=842663screenshot01.jpg
Now, you just have to find a solution to have a background which is at 800x400px and not 640x480 like it is on this first skin you made (the white you see under. The screen is not complete)
And to find a solution for the white corners that you can see around the application. Look on my screenshot..
I really don't know xml code, so I can't help you for this -_-
Thanks, and good luck
Sam
Hi salucsam,
look at my screenshot. It is perfect.
And here the code from the XML file:
<form
position="0 0 480 800"
backgroundimage="tp2d.bmp"
clipcolor="FF00FF">
<control
id="200"
text="MobileView"
position="44 130 480 800"
zoom="70">
</control>
</form>
As you see it is 480x800 portrait mode.
I don't know whats happend on yor system.
Please check the xml file. You can open it
with the notepad or gvim.
Ok, its good for me now, for the HTC screen.
But for corners, I really don't know how to clear it...
Look at this new screenshot :
http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=575298screenshot2.png
As you see, the problem is those 4 black corners around the picture...I can only color them in black or white.
Do you know how to clear it ? I want them transparent, invisible.

The grafic is a BMP file. So there is no transparence possible. I can't change it to a PNG format because MyMobiler doesn't knows the format yet. Possible you can ask the author on http://www.mymobiler.com/.
Hi salucsam,
you found out more about your issues?
Did you guys get the hard buttons to work?
Awesome, I love this app, nice job!! still need some improvements.
I think MyMobilier need to be updated, with more skins and more functionality, but its great like is, specially WIFI

I think there is a way to get transparencies with a bmp file using an added Alpha layer to the original .bmp.
Ive been trying to get this skin to work but i can't even get it to show, any pointers?, as i can't work on the transparency if i cant test it!!
There is also a thread over on HD2 skinning my mobiler

I've only just noticed this thread!
I made a TP2 skin myself for MyMobiler a few weeks ago and I can tell you that MyMobiler has a bug that means the corners show when you use any other zoom level than 100% - the 'magic BMP colour' doesn't work at different levels. But, at 100% zoom, the bottom of the phone is cut off
I've tried e-mailing the MyMobiler author about these bugs a couple of times but he's never bothered to reply

Yeah, I spent a while on this too
If you have a look at defaultskin.xml, you'll see
Code:
clipcolor="FF00FF"
which is a kind of pink colour - this is the BMP colour that is treated as transparent and that's why the phone skins have that colour background in the corners. The only problem is, is that MyMobiler only shows the FF00FF colour code as transparent when it's at 100% zoom Drop down to 75% or 50% and the corners show.
Hope this explains what I've found out, please let me know if you find any more info?

Thanks for bringing me up to speed! ive just been testing the other skins as well and i now understand the same problem is for all, so unless you have a very tall screen it will always be the case.
I don't know about Xml but is there not a work around that we can trick the program into thinking it is displaying at 100% when it is displaying at 70? i'm guessing that would be 2 easy!!
My TP2/Rhodium Skin
I played around with this to get a skin to work. I am still having trouble with the start menu hard key, but the other buttons seem to work.
To get this skin to work, follow these steps:
1) Unzip the attached file to "\Program Files\My Mobile\MyMobiler\Skin\" directory. (It will extract to its own folder)
2) Edit the "\Program Files\My Mobile\MyMobiler\mymobiler.ini" and change the line for
Code:
SkinFile=Skin\DefaultSkin.xml
to read
Code:

1) Unzip the attached file to "\Program Files\My Mobile\MyMobiler\Skin\" directory. (It will extract to its own folder)
2) Edit the "\Program Files\My Mobile\MyMobiler\mymobiler.ini" and change the line for
Code:
SkinFile=Skin\DefaultSkin.xml
to read
Code:
SkinFile=Skin\TP2\skin.xml

Click to collapse
Thanks man! I just tried it out, and it works almost perfect
First, I also had to change the line below that in the options:
"Showskin=0" to "Showskin=1"...Once I did that, the skin loaded fine.
There's just one small glitch, as it looks like the image has shifted "up" in the frame...it's cut off a bit at the top, and leaves a band showing down at the bottom (I'm including a screenshot to demonstrate). Hiding the toolbar improves it a bit obviously, but there's still a bit cutoff at the top.
Zoom works great though, no "squares" in any of the ratios I've tried
The "call" and "end" hardware buttons work just fine too...but the "home" and "back" buttons don't seem to respond.
I don't know if any of the issues are related to the fact I'm running a T-mobile TP2 instead of an unbranded or AT&T model like in this skin.
Anyway, thanks again for the effort, just wanted to give you some feedback from the field

Two questions really quick:
1) Which version of MyMobiler are you using? (mine is 1.25 Build 00122.0205.46)
2) Have you tried activating the skin through "View" -> "Show Skin"? Doing it this way turns off the toolbar completely leaving just the skin.
Thanks for the feedback!
