Wait cursors for WM6

Here is a wait animation package for WM6 with 10 cursors and an install mortscript. Same animations used by Juryduty for his WM2003 cursors. I have 25 of these I've done, this package only contains 10 because they're kinda big.
EnJoy!

Nice! Thanks!

Will this work on WM5? is there a possibility to let this work or a same programm for WM5? please tell me..

Thank you! very nice!

didnt work well on my mogul. wouldn't uninstall, had to hard reset.

for WM5 try here:

this script will probably work for them, but you'd have to edit it if the resource name is different , and rename them 'filename.wait' then zip them to wait.zip.
the resource name for WM6 is 'shellres.96.dll' you'd have to find out about WM5 and make the corresponding changes in the script 'waitskins.mscr'.
As far as having to hard reset, did you mean soft reset? This sometimes happens to me randomly after installing a cab and can happen with any cab. I don't think it has anything to do with the cab, but more to do with the state of your device when you install it.
At any rate all this cab does is copy some files to 'programs\waitskins' (or 'storage card\programs\waitskins')and 2 shortcuts to windows\start menu\programs.
The script uses Mortscript4.01b12. It unzips the skins, copies the selected one, deletes the unzipped files, and tells you to do a soft reset. Thats it. Hardly anything to worry about.

it didnt work well with my very top bar in my today screen. after i installed the cab my clock, speaker icon, and signal icon were messed up. i couldnt change the icon back to the origanal wm6 after i changed it to one of the 10 you provided. after that i uninstalled and it wouldnt go back to the wm6 icon. i finally HARD reset my phone and had a fresh backup from earlier that day. no biggie, i may have installed wrong. i would like to get this to work, i may try again. thanx tho, Jody

The icons problem happens when the file hasn't been signed. I've signed all these and they work on my COOKED WM6 device. maybe your device doesn't like the certificate I used. I really don't know for sure.
When this happens you should be able to run the waitskins program, select CANCEL and this will delete any skins on your system, then a soft reset will get you back to the default thats built into your rom. then an uninstall.
Sorry about your hard reset...but since you just barely did it you might want to test this again and find out if the problem is with ALL of the skins, and weather or not the above tip saves you from another hard reset.
thanks for the feedback and if you test this any further please let me know what you find out.

work for me (wizard wm6), but I can't change back to the original one , the cancel just change the cursor to the latest one.
It will be good if you attached more skin here.included the original one.
thank

thanks nice one

I would like to complain because I am an a$$. But I cannot, these are a great choice of icons. Anyone with WM6 aught to give it a try.
Great work!

Finally I tried these awhile back but would not work!! They are awesome! Thank you!

I found the original cursor here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1451996&postcount=37
& try to change name to "original.wait" then add to zip. after running it's work ,but have error at the top bar icon as oakwestplayer comment.
any comment

nice cursors, thanks
bit off topic, but that m & m dance looks more like "Cool Spot" to me
anyone remember the old megadrive/genesis game.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Spot

ong9:
Looks like the file needs to be signed.
Look for a tool in this forum called "multiple file signer' and use it to try to sign the file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306982&highlight=multiple+file+signer
If the file signing failed then try to find the 'file Unsigner', and unsign it then sign it again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329160
This has worked for me.
The multiple file signer lets you choose from 3 different certificates, if one doesn't work try the other two.
If this doesn't work for you then I don't know what to tell you.
Good luck!
Joe
BTW Funy yes that IS cool spot, (LOL) I didn't even notice the .GIF name but in the package I've called him COOL SPOT! Guess that's why I've seen that animation with the color changed (green blue etc.). I don't even think it looks like the M&Ms (must be the sunglasses), that's probably why I didn't make the connection. Good eye!

"Diamond" Digital Clock Install Program?

It seems they are just little number files but they won''t overwrite the existing files that are in the Windows directory.
Anyway I really like the look and wonder if there is a CAB type file that will install and voila, you have the Diamond look digital clock?
Anybody know of such a program?
Or a really simple set of instructions.
I followed the instructions and I can't get it to work.
Or how about a way to get the "Diamond" Digital Clock in to S2U2?
Help... help... help...

Hi Jim,
I was actually looking for quite some time and found a diamond digital clock cab. It was here in XDA but I cant find the thread I found it in (It was in the main hacking and development thread)
I'll just repost the cab file and hope I dont get reemed out. I take NO credit for makng this file what so ever.
I had tried installing it before on my vogue and it wasnt working then I upgraded my rom to 6.1 and figured Id give it a shot and it worked. I dont know if that had anything to do with it. it SHOULD still work in WM6 I just wasnt able to get it to work for some reason.
I think you have to disable HTC home as well too before you install the cab.

Nice find!
When I try to install on 6.1 it says "Installation unsuccessful". Any thoughts?
...Nevermind. For some reason it was copying itself when I put it on the sd card and one of the files was broken.

when you have it running is the clock in h:mm:ss tt format (ie 8:04 pm) or is it in hh:mm:ss tt (08:04 pm) I cant for the life of me get the zero infront of the single digit time (anywhere from 1-9 am or pm). just really erking me thats all. I had only installed this myself last night when I saw this thread asking for it so sort of a coincidence.
Anyway.. yeah let me know how your clock works and if you had to do something to fix it. I went into the regional settings and what not and changed the time format but still didnt change anything even after a reset.

For anyone who's installed the cab I posted and had the same issues I had (the 0 infront of the time (08:43 pm) then heres a quick fix I found in the hacking/development thread in the main forum.
Just copy the file in the zip file to your new HTC Home folder on your phone. Should be /HTCHome, sp right in the phones main directory alone with my documents and program files etc. If when you copy it over to replace the exsiting HH_Home_off. png in the folder it wont work go and disable the HTC Home plugin then copy it. That worked for me. Now I finally have a normal looking clock without always having to have 4 numbers showing.

I just installed and my text messages dont work. any idea?

Installed great! thanx a lot.

Since I installed this I can only select Bakersfield for my weather.
Anyone know a workaround?
Also this plugin severly lags my touch, anyone else?
Thanks.

diamond clock
So does anyone know of a diamond clock that actually flips like the real diamond clock?? All the skins for HTC HC are great but i would love to find something closer to the real deal.

Actually it doesn't lag anymore, but my weather is ONLY Bakersfield.
IS that with everyone else?

I had this same issue... What I had to do was uninstall it.. use the normal HTC home and reselect my city then reload on this updated version. Aparently all you have to do is add the XML of your city somewhere in the registy... I have no idea how so if anyone knows how feel free to let us know.
Since I did the steps above I havnt gone in to "Change city" anymore and it updates my city fine

I uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked as you said it did. However, when I changed it from Fahrenheit to Celcius thats when it updated to Bakersfield.
I can sort of understand Fahr, but Celcius would be much nicer. I think the benefit outweighs the cost so i'll use canada + fahr . Unless you know how to fix this.

I fonz as a panel?

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-ifonz-v0-9-9.html
Quite a cool I phone looking app. How hard would it be for someone to make this a panel?

I guess really the question should be... Why don't you just buy an iPhone? My guess is this is just a today screen plugin, similar to TF3D. If that is the case, running it should be about the same at TF3D on the X1. I know some people in the Diamond forum were trying to get ifonz to work.

Jep, same thought! Go und lock yourself up with an iPhone...

i really dont get why anyone on earth likes the iphone. but whatever.

Well why not a iphone lookalike panel when the tf3d seems very popular,it´s all about to replace/complement the panels we already have onboard as i see it..

iphone is a nice phone and i cant say i havent put iphone like apps on my 6800 and thought about it for my tp but i thought again and whats the point i may as well have just gotten an iphone. its probably best to get apps from iphone (if at all possible) instead of the flashy looking ui. it gets boring after a while. not taking anything away from the people that develop those programs because its something i cant do and it amazes me. so keep up the good work but just not for me at least not for extended periods.

you could ask the author
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436656&highlight=ifonz

Does this install as a Today plugin or an app itself?
Oops... found the answer. It ain't a Today plugin. So guess it somehow replaces the today screen? And that why TS's there asking about if anyone can convert it to a panel?

I find this is a discussion worth picking up again! so has anybody put some thought to it?
I tried the latest version of ifonz ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436656) and it works pretty good with full landscape support and loads of customisation options.
Now ... I know nothing about programming .. but is it hard to make it come up as a panel?
The way it works now it is an .exe which u need to start manually (similarly to the T3D before the panel .cab came out) ... so what does it take to get a panel .cab for this little app?
I thought about contacting the author but then again I dont see why this should be his business ... he probably doesnt even have the Xperia!
So any ideas on this?
thx

I'd think the one most able to come up with a panel for this at the moment should be the guy who did the panel for TF3D.

I tried installing the ifonz using the .exe but they mentioned about throwing an exception?

I've searched almost everywhere for an answer but have yet to find one. I still can't install iFonz on the XPERIA. I was wondering, do I download the files on the phone itself then run the exe (if that's possible) OR run it on the desktop/laptop with the XPERIA connected via activesync which I have been trying to do. But on my Laptop, I get an error that it has failed and on my desktop it says something about an exception.

no u are supposed to install it on the xperia ... maybe u r doing the same mistake that I did the first time I tried to install ... this may sound stupid but u need to copy the .zip onto your xperia and then actually extract the files before u can install them!
Reason I m saying this is because when u click on .zip after u copied it onto your xperia it will automatically change folder and show u a list of all the files that are in that .zip.
intuitively u would probably click the .exe right away however if u do this u get an error saying that the file cannot be installed for unknown reasons etc. if you however, extract the files to a folder of your choice then u can click the .exe and the installation works just fine
alternatively, u may just be needing to install microsoft net framework 3.5 which u can download for free on the microsoft website .. if you search this forum u will find a link to it ..
sorry for late reply, hope that helps

Ah thank you! Yes, I have installed Microsoft Net Framework (I did do my research haha). I will try it out now!

Okay, now that I have ifonz I realised that I don't like it. Worst of all, when I switch on my phone, it starts off in the ifonz page. And so I deleted the ifonz folder. But now, when I switch on my phone, they mention an error as they are unable to find ifonz.exe. How do I get rid of this annoying pop up?

Weather App

Hi is there a better weather that can run from the touch flo buttons. With the default one i cant get a town near to me the nearest is 10 miles away, so the weather is out.
Thanks

as a newb to WM i had tha same problem, but after a few questions on here and some help from
Hamz22 and jamie walsh i got it sorted, big thanks to them and i hope this helps other newbs like me
so for all those newbs here is how you change the weather location to places not listed in the default program on the TP2
1.Download and instal total commander http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab
, also instal net framework 3.5
2.once installed open TC up and look in the phones windows directroy for this file 2330fc3c_manila
3. when you find it using TC copy it to the stoagr card on your phone
a box will come up and the location wiil be \\windows**, to save it stoagecard change the location to \Storage card and then click copy
4. still in TC go to the storage card and find the file , open the file details in TC its the right hand side button on the top row of commands, and uncheck the read only box
5.now using TC copy this file back to its original windows directory on the phone.
6. download the weather location app and install on the phone version 1.20 is needed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=120460&d=1223638121
using this you can now add towns and cities
to get the Accu view weather location for your area if in the uk go here
http://www.accuweather.com/world-in...ather&traveler=0&loccode=EUR|UK|UK108|Chorley
as you can see this location is for chorley so the accu code for that is EUR|UK|UK108|Chorley
once you have added a new town etc you need to do a soft reset for to be able to use it

just to add heres some fun codes to add
Death valley 92328(for america it uses the zip code)
south pole ANT|AQ|AQ---|SOUTH+POLE

cool cheers I found this but could not find the xml file so hopefully will be bale to use your method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368282&page=11

i get an error telling me i need a newer version of the .net framework.

sorry you need to have 3.5 net framework installed a search on here will find it

Cheers . Got it too work . Impressed i actucally found my village on the place list in accuweather.

just confirming this worked like a charm

Sorry guys didn't work for me... 1.2 is saying "file write protection of database couldn't removed"... tried 1.1 modified.... but touch flo restarts every time... i click on it( i checked that read only is unchecked in windows folder for that file...
OK...I figured it out... some of the steps..are other way around for me...somehow...
1) before installing Weather Editor 1.2 - go to windows folder find the file "2330fc3c_manila" - I used Resco explorer 7.05 to go to properties of file to uncheck "read only" (note that if u press once the check wont disappear..it will become transparent - double click makes it disappear completely) - then confirm changes to the system by pressing yes in the appeared window....
2) install weather editor 1.2, launch it go to find the country u need.... press edit to click cities...and add your city with accu code
3) restart your phone
4) go to weather pad in touch flo and add your city
work for me...however u can't delete the weather editor after it... it deletes the file and substitutes it with original one...
now another problem: clock... I found my city there... and now it confuses the time zone... London time should be the same with Durham... but it says its different...that is why it causes other clock to be different if u just simply change it to real time... is there any way to force it to correctly identify time zone?

Sweet, awesomeness weather app, now in a town near me! w00t. Cheers for the info dude.

Just confirming that it worked for me also.
Thanks-a-mil - great work.

It works fine for the weather tab, but unfortunately if I set my location in the clock to to the same place it is 13 hours behind!
I've checked the entry from accuweather which is EUR|UK|UK199|Redcar and it all seems fine
Very confusing

same problem for me - I reportede it in several threads - no reply yet

Brilliant! Thank you! My local time is set right but everywhere else in the UK is 13 hours ahead! Oh well! At least I know what time it is where I am.

I edited on PC 2330fc3c_manila.dll file from Windows folder on PPC, edited it with SQLite Administrator
HTML:
http://sqliteadmin.orbmu2k.de/
just check last fields (timezone and msid) in cities section for your town and copy them from nearest one to your town (geographically)

I'm sorry! I don't understand? Wasn't bothering me until the computer started changing the time. Ment I missed all my appointments! Please could you say again how you correct the time? Thanks!

Two posts up ^^^ Wot he said!

Did it! Thanks! Took me ages to open the table! Then even longer to realise I had to copy it to my computer rather than editing it from the storage card. Oh well, it's done now! Thanks for your help! Is excellent!

Noobie to HTC Diamond and I have questions

hi all
Im new to here but also just purchased a HTC Diamond Touch. I previously had a P3600i.
Im really liking the new TF3D program however there are a couple of things that are driving me mental. EG - calender not showing upcoming events...
Now im not to good at the understanding of tweaking programs etc however is there a way I can have this?
Also I have SPB Mobile Shell and I used this for a while. I love this program however find that the battery life is drained within a day of using this (something TF3D doesnt do). I tried to add a new skin last night but it didnt work and now im wondering whether im doing something wrong.
Is someone able to give me step by step instructions on either how i can tweak TF3D to give me upcoming calender dates or how I can add different skins....
Man i really do sound new!!

Hi Noobie!
See this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497197. It should tell you everything you need to know/have. I use it & it's great. I currently have an appointment on my today screen for 2 July.....

for themes.... some come in cab files and you should copy these to your internal storage and open it via file explorer
for .theme files.....
download TF3D configurator, download themes and put the .theme file into a folder somewhere on your internal storage..
when you open TF3D configurator, go to the second tab, and there's a drop down menu on the top right to select the folder where you're themes are, once you've selected a theme it'll give you the option to install it.... hey presto .... a new theme!
hope it helps

thanks so much! ill have a look at the other page and will have a go at the themes!!

Is it an HTC Touch Diamond? If so, then it should have enough space.

yeh its definately a diamond...hmmmm may have to try again. I found it wouldnt remove either so had to do a hard reset...
