I have been tried with DestinatorPN working great...

Hi,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I understand this correctly, this "hack" recompiles any .exe I want to run on my Universal to default to a VGA screen.
The end result is that I can have everything in QVGA mode except those I specifically modify. eg
- WM5 and phone dialer as normal but when I start a modified Internet Explorer to automatically defaults to full VGA mode?
Is this correct?
Also I noticed the reference to this site below...
http://www.tweaks2k2.com/portal/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=8&showtopic=62
I am wondering what they mean by the "HI_RES resource file", having never owned a window's based PDA before, I'm not familiar with the file.
Is this a generic system resource file that can be duplicated into any folder we need and renamed appropriately?
Where do I begin to locate such a file to copy and rename?
This seems like a neat solution if its just a matter of copying this into any program folder I want to run in VGA mode.
Regards
Michael

Looks like it, time to do a bit of playing around........
......Well, I couldn't get any of it to work. No great surprise there.

This app modify you ppc apps to work in HIRES(VGA) mode, when all my WM5 in QVGA mode only the apps that i modified will work in VGA mode.
What i know (i tried) on this app, When i modify DestinatorPN and it's works great but on Resco Explorer (5.1) it's not working.
And about the Internet Explorer i didnt found way to copy/move/replace the file "iexplorer.exe" so i didnt check it.

Resco Explorer and PIE are allready high-res aware. They do a method called double-pixelling. This means that you don't get more screen estate but doubles each pixel both horizontally and vertically...
Btw, first post. Hi all! Been lurking around on this forum for ages... Well since the Magician came out.

Change file type associations

Hi
Since I use my S110 one thing annoys me to deat. I use Wisbar and this closes programs instead of minimizing them. Now, when I click on a *.mid or *.wav that sluggish album program needs to start up and that takes ages. On my old iPAQ (that lacked that album) those files where played by the explorer directly (maybe a small dll, don't know) and that was way faster, there was no delay whatsoever and the album takes its sweet time to come up.
So I'd like to know if there is a way to change the fily type association for the audio files from the album to that smaller player (that is included in WM2003, just don't know the name)?
Please help.

there is a little program called myExtensions available for free, and lets you choose the whatever program you wish for a certain extension..

you can also use Resco File Explorer... use ( open with ) ..
if both combined together.. you'll get very good results :wink:
cheers

Ok thanks, that looks promising. I'll check that out asap.

Ok, that tool worked perfectly. All set and done. Nice, thanks again.

Glad I helped

Creating a Shortcut & Screen Capture

My searching on these wasn't fruitful, maybe I wasn't specific enough
Could someone please tell me how to make a Shortcut (actually it's for ozVGA at the moment)?
Also, what software do I need to do screen captures like those uploaded by users of ozVGA in real VGA mode?
Many thanks for your patience.

I use Remote Spy that comes with the Visual Studio Development Tools, but you can use Magic SS for screenshots. Not sure if it works in VGA but should do I guess:

Shortcuts: use gsfinder, copy the file you want to shortcut, choose the edit menu and choose paste shortcut.

VJ, Many thanks. I downloaded Magic SS and it works a treat even at real VGA resolution.
I took a look at gsfinder but didn't feel like it would run on WM2005. After a closer look I found that Total Commander which I already have and sure enough I have made my shortcuts using that.
Many thanks
A Happy New Year to All

Hey, gsfinder works s'perb on WM5. Total Commander is great as well (so I hear), but I'm a gsfinder man...
Glad you got things sorted. Show us your screenshots!

Hmmnn..I tried, but not allowed to attach .bmp
Seems Magic SS only creates bitmaps :-(

True, but convert to jpg first.
Worst case,on your PC, drag the bitmap into Internet Explorer, choose save image as and save as jpg. Otherwise use a graphic converter.

Here are a few jpegs..

i have been using magicss on my shadow and it works like a charm, but for the life of me i cant get it to work on my wing/herald, i know it should it came with the rom im using anyone know what i need to do??
im kinda dumb sometimes figured itout, duh lol

MDA Camera Flash as a Flashlight

Hi! I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a way to assign a hardware button for the camera flashlight or even a screen icon. I read somewhere that somebody was working on a program for it. Thank you for your time.

Look for a proggy called pflash. It'll turn your screen white and temporarily disable the backlishgt timer. assign that to a hardware button and you're done.

Thanks Nate, I was hoping there was a program that would use the camera's led flash as a torch. I found veejay's program, unfortunately it didn't work for my mda. I'll give pflash a try though.

No prob, I think it was a free proggy by David Anders (easy enough to find via google). He's also got an AWESOME RSS reader too.
I've got my MS Voice Command on my 8125 and added a shortcut to Pflash to the \windows\programs directory and renamed it flashlight and VC hs no trouble understanding it and calling it too!

Flashlight with Mortscript
Maybe you can try with this.
Unzip both attached files.
Install Mortscript app and copy flash.mscr file to PPC.
Run flash.mscr file.
It works on my Atom Exec/WM5. The .mscr file sorta run the test Flash command from the Atom Exec's Self Diagnostics apps.

Plamp
Found plamp here

WM5 compatible - HTC Phones only
This program is used to permit control of the flash light on various HTC Phones, to allow it to be used as a torch etc.
Note: this app may will cause permanent damage to your flash led over prolonged periods.
The app will disable itself after prolonged use, but still, use it at your own risk.
I cannot confirm what hardware it will work on, other then the Universal phone.

Juncker - my app is not compatible with wizard. I don't have a wizard to test on so never wrote support for it.

That worked really well.
What abt the light dmg topic... use long time = killing the light?

Anybody have any luck running that mscr on the 8125? I couldn't get it to work
I haven't found any other way to control the flash w/o starting up the camera...

can i make this work on ATOM?

Do something work for the wizard now?

At this point, still no. But I for one would be willing to put my wizard on the line to test a version of vijay555's program for the wizard.

Which Landscape program is the best - Tilt 2 user

Hey folks...
I know, I know...too many random threads about the same questions...
I've searched and searched but I found a few programs that look like they do the same.
I brought an AT&T Tilt 2. I love the TF3D and I'm looking to download a quick program that allows me to use the phone in landscape or portrait when ever I feel in any menu or screen.
I've found a few choices:
Project Pulse - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588476
Gyrator - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
Change Screen - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
I'm not sure which version is best or right for me...
To be honest...I dont' even know what version of Manilla I have...or what it is just yet.
I'm also looking for a way to remove a few of the standard programs AT&T added to this phone. When my phone is idle and I'm not touching it...it's operating at 70%. It's hurting the performance of the phone and I'm looking to lower the percentage.
I know you guys are probably going to screen: LOCK...but I've honesly searched a ton for answers.
Thank you much,

Manila is TouchFLO 3D aka HTC Sense aka TF3D, the thing with the flippy clock and the different tabs. If you're rockin' the AT&T default ROM, then you definitely have Manila 2.1. Project Pulse is only useful for people using Manila 2.5, since it doesn't have landscape, unlike 2.1. Project Pulse essentially is a "hacked" landscape mode for a landscape lacking Manila 2.5.
I personally use Changescreen, since it is compatible with almost any program and supports Manila. Apparently, Gyrator will work with regular programs, but won't properly rotate Manila into landscape mode. The only thing you need to remember is to remove "Manila" from the Changescreen exceptions tab, or otherwise it won't work when rotating Manila on the homescreen.
Though I haven't done any of this myself (since I'm not on the AT&T ROM anymore), there's an XDA-Wiki article (here) which details which files and registry keys should be deleted. Hope that clarifies things for you

Ahhh... I see...
So the only folks with Manilla 2.5 are those with flashed ROM's...since Manilla 2.1 is on the stock ROM?
I guess I will be downloading Changescreen and playing around with it.
I still have no idea how to remove the programs that came on the phone. I saw the link you posted...but it doesn't say how to access that screen. Do I simply plug my laptop via usb cord go through the files?
If I have to do this via computer...do I simply "delete" the files/folders?
Thanks again,

You can do it from a computer, but it's a lot easier to use File Explorer Mobile (included on your device) and navigate to the listed file locations and delete the files and folders.
For the registry entries, you can use CERegEdit (from the computer while the device is connected via USB), and there are tons of registry editors for exclusive use on the device (no computer needed). I personally use Dotfred's free multipurpose task manager for that, but there are other free options besides that, like PHM Regedit.

Thanks Dave...
I just saw that I can access all of those files with File Explorer (neat little program).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I have 1 more question now:
On the XDA/WIKI for each program there are only 2 files. Example is below:
Glu Diner Dash 2
Files
\Program Files\Glu\Diner Dash 2 (1.5mb)
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games\Diner Dash 2.lnk
------------------------------------------------------------------
Am I deleting both of those files in those two locations? Or can I just go into \Program Files\Glu\Diner Dash 2 and delete the entire folder?
When I use File Explorer, I see about 6 files in that folder...not just one.
Thanks,

You'd want to delete the whole "Diner Dash 2" folder, since you don't want that program, then you'd want to browse to \Windows\Start Menu\ and delete the appropriate .lnk file associated with the program. This will pretty much remove the program from the device, and deleting the .lnk will remove it from the start menu.
