Here is mine:
This was taken in July but it works so well nothing has changed :lol:
I think I know the answer to this question, but what is that program with caller picture thumbnails you have?

Hey that looks so cool, what software do you use to get you desktop looking like that?
Nothin' Fancy
Kinda boring but it works for me
The first screen is for work, the second for play.
I usually switch both sims and desktops.
Note to self: I need to get a dual sim adaptor :lol:
New to making themes and struggling with VGA themes but this is my current screen. If anyone is better at this and cares to help me sort this out I'd be extreamly grateful!!!

My old Universal. Haven't dusted her off for quite a while.

That still has to be the coolest screen I've seen!!!
How is vjsihaya coming along?

LOL,
how do you make this great screen ???
That is SUPER !!!
I was just looking at the screenshot - January 2006! Sheesh. I haven't programmed anything specific for VJSihaya since then - reason being, when I had the idea way back when, I knew what I wanted it to do, but knew what I had to go away and learn LOTS of new stuff.
I've been tinkering with different ideas, bits and bobs, so that I can eventually throw them together to make it as complete as I want it to be.
Like I've said elsewhere, stuff like VJVolubilis is just R&D, that I've released stand alone, but I like the idea of VJSihaya. However, HTC really need to get more VGA screens out. I'm thinking of going to TyTN, and at QVGA VJSihaya isn't as beautiful

Sorry for stupid question, but how do you change your screen to make it look like DavidT's?

I think that is WisBar Advance he is using. It is not free though.
Yep thats Wisbar Advance I'm using along with a windows vista theme. The picture dialer is the one ripped off from the Treo 700W and was designed for QVGA and square screens thats why it looks so small on the Universal's VGA screen but it still works great
A couple of questions:
Does it not totally destroy your eyes trying to read the text on true VGA mode?
I used WisBar Advance once when I had my alpine - it made it so there was no ring when an incoming call happened, are there any problems with using it on a phone now? If not, do you know why not? Is it the new device or a newer version of the WisBar software?
Thanks guys, I'm off to investigate Wizbar Advance!
Anjow - to answer your question.
Yes the text is small in VGA mode - in Word set your font size to 7 point font size (perhaps 6 - hard to tell) and you'll get an idea of how big the text is.
I find it perfectly readable and LOVE the extra space it gives me, browsing the internet actually becomes worthwhile as well!
VJBigPhone makes the phone work properly on VGA (Thanks again!!!) - my only problem is that Solitaire still thinks it's using 320x240 and is too small!!!
It depends upon personal preference and what you intend to use the device for.

Do you mean on my PC or my device? If on my device it seems I can't go lower than 8?
Thanks.
Sorry I meant on your PC
Hmm, perhaps tolerable then. I'm surprised because when I'm using pocket opera some of the text is really tiny already? Perhaps that's a feature of opera though.

What plugin are u using for the memory used and battery life status on your today screen?
That wud be a great help since, i am looking for a similar but light weight plugin. Pocket plus has it but i find it heavy and thus don't use it anymore.
Hi, did anyone noticed that maximum Tytn's backlight is much dimmer than Wizard's? But it seems that it is only a software block because when you start Camera application, brightness goes much higher.. It's not matter of life and death, but it quite annoys me.
So.. Do anyone know if there is some way how to enable higher values? Probably some registry fix or something like that...

oh.. thanks
I have to say, I hate using my Hermes without VJLumos. The normal max brightness is horrible, washed out and weak...
V
i remapped the record button for youre great app works well
Yeah.. nice program.. but unfortunately it is still just trying to bypass the problem by using the camera application. So when Vjlumos is running you are unable to use the camera.. There must by some other way. I hope somebody will find it..
But still.. It is a great program
There is another way, but remember that the extra brightness is tied to the camera functions.... I've been thinking about rewriting this app to turn it into a service so it takes less resources.
If and when, I'll try to make it camera independant. But the problem with that is that it will be device specific ie Hermes.
But then I thought, meh? Whatever, it'll still be better!

This is a great app. However for me, I'm able to use the camera without having to disable the app. I just hit the camera button to access the camera function, then hit the camera button again and was able to take a picture. With that being said, once I exited the camera function, the screen was dim again and I had to hit my VJLumos icon twice (once to disable, once again to enable) to get the screen back to its brightness. Currently a small price to pay.
Vijay, nice apps. Even if you make this app specific to Hermes, I think you'll have a lot of satisfied people. Thanks for great apps!
I am a newbie here. I just want to know if there is a registry tweak on how can I adjust the display contrast/saturation of my Hermes. My brother has a HTC Tytn and the screen display seems to be more briliant than my HTC Hermes Softbank. Thanks.
I don't know about the contrast/saturation, but you will get a more brilliant screen if you adjust the brightness...

The brightness adjustment is set at the maximum level in both units and still the screen display of HTC TyTn of my brother is more colorful and briliant than my HTC Herm Softbank.
I can get a contrast icon to show up by adjusting the registry
open regedit and make changes then do a softreset
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Contrast
and renaming the "Redirect" value to "Redirect_" (or rename to something else, or remove it completley).
but I cant get it to adjust the contrast but it works in my Axim though maybe someone else can figure something out
I think this is one of those I didn't know I didn't know that moments
I did a bit of searching and came up with this link for the axim http://www.aximsite.com/boards/archive/index.php/t-10559.html It appears that this registry tweak only works if you have video drivers loaded which support the contrast feature. It worked for aximfan on his axim but not for other axim users so I guess this is the same for Hermes users.
@docles2002 - Can you check if you and your friend have the same video drivers? (I don't know how to do this (yet) so you'll need to search a bit).

It has nothing to do with the contrast.
Back to the subject: as has been pointed out in some of my articles (guys, DO FOLLOW MY BLOG / DO READ THE ARTICLES I POST TO THE GENERAL FORUM HERE!!!), you can't set the contrast on any Pocket PC except the Dell Axim x50v/x51v, which has the 2700G and, therefore, enables contrast settings.
Hey all,
I've seen screenshots of the advantage/U1000 subdisplay having a larger clock etc, being centred and generally having customisations. I have unfortuntely not being able to find out how this is possible.
Is it possible? if so how?
Cheers
Osiris.
when you have the keyboard cover on have you tried jogging the volume control ?
if your talkin bout something other than that then i dont know
Thanks for the reply chief, I was referring to that initially, was surprised when I went to turn it down and the display changed but im sure I saw a Dopod pic with something cooler, nevertheless cheers anyway.
I read in the manual if you have Worldmate installed the sub display will show temp etc is this what you are referring to???
I have the blank tmob wallpaper ? There is a way to change it ?
I installed Worldmate programm but I don't see any new info in Sub/Standby display. I tried volume control but only previous data are available.
Could somebody give me a tip how to activate Worldmate in Sub-display.
Thanks!
Someone might have to shoot off an email to HTC or Worldmate to find out...
i am looking into it also cause i want the weather on my sub display
With the subdisplay showing slide the VOLUME button - you will see it changes !

Great! Learned something new today. Thanks
What a great finding (even it's too late for me).
i shot htc an email yesterday but they have not gotton back to me as of yet and seeing how its the week i guess i will have to wait until monday
I haven't seen anybody who has gotten world mate to work on the subdisplay.
Guessing it might have been something specific to a certain version of worlmate.
Either that or htc people just pulled that one out of their a**es like they always do.
I have tried all avaialbe athena roms except the Tmobile Ameo's and they have shown the same behaviour.
I have contacted worldmate but haven't gotten a response from them yet and dont think I will.

May be what they mean is worldmate-like.
Also, if you are playing music in WMP, you will see the track name on the subdisplay!
Hi,
I have found tips over the forums on how to improve the screen sensitivity of your WinMo resistive touchscreen
1) When calibrating your screen, tap the cursor hairs as accurately and as lightly as possible. I use a toothpick for this, it has a fine tip. You will notice immediately how much more responsive your screen is!
2) Another method I found was:
a) Install Attached .cab / Reg Tweak
b) Soft Reset
c) Be Amazed at your Screen Sensitivity!
This is a little .cab file / reg tweak created by kevinpwhite (all credits to him)
EDIT: Many people in the thread have said that it has calibrated their screen wrong and they can't navigate it (cab/reg) This has resulted in a hard reset to get the touchscreen back(due to different touchscreen resolutions etc) I will investigate more into this and create a new version, if possible. Please use it at your own risk, and be sure to create a backup of your device.

Hi, dudes, my HTC WIZARD gets "untouchable" after this installation, but i found the way to solve it! =D
1- Download: CeRegEdit (u can found it on Google, with this u can explore your mobile reg trough your PC)
2- Open it (with your cell phone connected in ActiveSync)
3- Go to Tools, and select "Unlock registry" (your registry will be "Editable")
4- Navigate to:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH] and change this values to your defaults:
"CalibrationData" and "MaxCalError" (you have to found the values for your phone, here in XDA i foud the values for my phone)
5- Softreset
I hope to help someone, and i hope than no one had to make an horrible hardreset

This was created specifically for the TG01, but i think that the WinMo stored values are the same across all devices. It simply changes a reg key to increase the screen pressure to the max.
Please give me feedback if it works for you!
Please hit the THANKS BUTTON if you like this!
well, this just ****ed over my omnia, and i can't access it from my computer as i dont have a connect cable. any tips on how to bring it back to normal without hard reset?

please read the xda rules... no bad language.
This cannot possibly cause ANY damage. i have tested it on various winmo devices (touch hd etc) if so, explain?
Also describe your problem better. how is that gooing to help me, by just saying it ________ my Omnia!

i've tested in my O2 LIFE WM6, at the first time i got trouble, i couldnt tap my screen well. when i tapped all screen, it connected to bottom right screen.
i used my navigation button to reach the SETTING-SYSTEM-SCREEN-ALIGN SCREEN.
the align screen works. then i used a srynge to calibrate it (dont try this at home), the final result is........
WORKS GREAT LIKE A CHARM!!
my screen becomes more sensitive! I dont need my stylus anymore, with resco keybord typing is so much fun.
THANK YOU..

this sets your screen sensitivity to the maximum allowed pressure point. So your resisitive touch screen will require a light touch to register changes.
This is what loads of people complain about? Poor screen sensitivity? So try this out!!
I didn't feel any difference in my Rhodium...

I've installed on my diamond 2 and I have been the same as the other: to do a reset, I have completely lost the calibration of the screen. Through "My mobile" I could recalibrate it, but do not notice any difference ...

Thanks for trying amyway! It certainly works for me though. It just recalibrates the reg entries for screen sensitivity. It wont male a huge difference!

thabks for the feedbakc! glad it works!
I always thought that this couldn't really be done. Tried many before and didn't see a difference. Then again I can't help myself so I will try this out too.
why didn't you come up with this earlier? i wasted two years using my htc jade with this insensitivity, finally a solution
thank you so much
Okay, I will try it now, but we need to know if there are a way to uninstall it safely in case if anything wrong happen like that one who had the Omnia, also you should type if we have to recalibrate the screen points after installing the tweak on all devices or what.
Thanks in advance.
tried it on my hTC Gene (P3400) running 6.5.5 and i got the same problem mentioned in post #5...dead unresponsive screen with a few taps being wrongly located towards the bottom right of the screen...so had to go into the screen setting via my D-pad and re-align the screen to enable it again
i think problem has something to do with the screen resolution (mine is qvga)
faced similar issues when trying a screen sensitivity improvement hack meant for wvga screens i found somewhere within the forums...
anyways nice job...its great to see some people still trying to make an effort to keep WinMo going!! keep up the good work!!

first try method one of calibrating your screen on your own
if you try method two of installing the cab thenall you have to do is run the cab file and soft-reset your device
if its worked, and we hope it does, then that should be it, you should have a screen which is more responsive
if you get a frozen screen just navigate to settings/system/screen and align your screen again to get it to work using the direction keys if you have them or by any other means
or hard reset to undo the settings
i'm just sharing whatever info i have...do tell me if i've left anything out
