I've just found that Chris @ WisbarAdvance (www.lakeridgesoftware.com) has created a plugin that makes WM5 into ablank desktop on which u can do anything. It's awesome, and seems stable on my JasJar (no alarm failures etc). Some kelw features:
- Different landscape vs portrait themes (so no cut-off images)
- Remove soft buttons on today screen
- shortcuts
- virtual screens and popups of shortcuts
- text meters and graphic meters
Basically anything that any other plugin offers!
Check it out.
Checked on the lakeridge website and couldn't find it- whereabouts is it?
Thanks,
Fin
This site states it is NOT compatable with windows mobile 5.0

Doesn't work for me either:
Code:
phpBB : Critical Error

Could it be a cookie-blocked thing?
hmm
have the same problem

lakeridge forums are back up now!
it works, but as you begin using it, you'll find out that your Universal will become EXTREMELY slow.
This is a known issue for WM5 and Universal, so a new update has to come out.

Are you referring to the 2.4.1.11 beta or shipping version when you say it is very slow ?
I installed the software but it made my device slower than ever.
I uninstalled it, and my device is OK now.
I'm using GSPocketMagic Ver 1.32.18, it's the only program which does not affect the speed of Jasjar and does all functions I need to close the running programs. It really made using my Jasjar is much better, easier, and faster.

Is It just me?
Hi,
-Went to WAD forums, dl'd RC6 and even RC5 beta of WAD, WM5 .Cab...
-dl'd from JJ incidentally
-installed CAB from File Explorer
-Install deemed "successful" after CAB ran.
-Soft reset and the whole 9 yards (ie: double checked today screen settings) and see no aesthetic change to Today Screen's look, and some ambiguous WAD folder in Programs.
Advice much appreciated Dudes.
Thank U!
I'm having problems with this too... I just get a blank desktop and it won't load any of the skins I've downloaded to work with it...
Pah.
lol
haha
you need a full version of wisbar advanced!! then you can add the the WAD plugin ;o) worked fine for me..
only problem is that wisbar advance is not wm5 optimized.. it slows the Universal down!!!
so better leave it.. and wait for optimized wm5 software!!
Don;t agree. JJ is just as fast as it was after hard reset and GPMagic++ - EXCEPT that portrait-landscape change is VERY slow - 8 seconds vs 1.5. That's cos it loads a WHOLE new theme and skin - a penalty I'm happy to live with for all the otehr benefits - cascading menu, awesome desktop capabilities, original task management, awesome skinning, etc etc.
hmm
remove it all and reset your device and notice how much faster the universal is.. even if you just stay in landscape mode.
i removed all sbsh software and also pocketbreeze and my universal is 20 times faster.
if you don't mind the lagg when changing from landscape to portrait ok, but the menu and all other programs do behave slower too.
When i flip my screen to landscape it now changes instantly.. have to say i use checknotifications. ;o)
just hoping for a great update soon, or else i sell my mda pro to someone here in holland for 600 euros and wait for version 2 LOL
I agree, Wisbar Advance does slow down the device. No wonder, all this graphic wealth has to come at a cost: resources!

See what DVL mentions. He's 100% correct. We have to wait for a new BETA to come out or be very patient with your Universal. :lol:

Big thanks.... I'll have to read the thred fully my self.

WORKS FLAWLESS!
Is the smart dialing still working with this skin? I just love that app...
They say not to install on Wizard...
You installed the ETEN dialer?
installed, changed the bitmap (inverted colors).
it works, but not intellidialer.
Then it`s a no go 4 me
procedure:
1) install E-TEN_M600_Dialer_Skin.cab on PPC
2) copy each Pcv*.bmp from Windows directory of PPC to your PC;
3) open each bmp file with MS Paint and invert colors (this is only for the aspect, not the functionality):
4) copy the bmp files back to PPC;
5) softreset.
*) the speed of the dialer is the same
*) I don't know a rollback operation different from harderesetting;
Can you give me the link for the CAB?
follow the link at the beginning of the thread.
Yes, ok thanks
It works perfectly....
I think that the only way to go back without an hard reset is to bring back the registry key pointing at the .dll
no Smart Dialing
How would i go about changing the the main colour. I did'nt really want a blue dialer.
cheers
these are the grafic file. do what you want to the colours but don't rename or change size or format.
originals before colours inverted if you're partial to orange
works on Dopod 838,
it's a beauty, very helpful when you use to dial with yr fingers instead of the stylus
THKS GUYS

Give it a try, you'll have to hard reset if it don't work as i don't know how to uninstall. but i was so fed up with the the standard small buttons on wm5 i just didn't care.
use this cab file to install cos it puts every thing where it should go and sorts out the registry setting.
http://buzzdev.net/components/com_simpleboard/uploaded/files/E-TEN_M600_Dialer_Skin.cab
Maybe if you backup the registry first and then if you don't like it just restore it back, may work as uninstall
Do you think this will work on qtek 9090?
thx
If anyone wants orange skin in italian...
I made these...
I made silver phone skin for Universal.
The screenshot shows Japanese, but you will see English if you use English ROM.
Enjoy!!
Jun-03, 2006
Added Black one.
Again, the letters depends on your ROM or mui setting except for "Video".
Jun-08, 2006
I found some people wants carrier's.
You will see them on FTP/Upload/Universal/Phone Skins
You can the following phone skins:
Qtek 9000/i-Mate JasJar/Dopod 900: Qtek_Phone_Skin.cab
O2 Xda Exec: O2_Phone_Skin.cab
T-Mobile MDA Pro: T-Mobile_Phone_Skin.cab
Vodafone v1640: Vodafone_Phone_Skin.cab
Orange SPV M5000: Orange_Phone_Skin.cab
Again, the characters on buttons depand on your mui setting.
Enjoy!!
June-21
Uoloaded carrier's on this thread.
Very nice, but this has to be installed in the main memory to work, thus taking up our precious memory.
very nice , can you pm me how to make it :wink:
thanks
cktlcmd:
Yes, this cab file is too big just to change phone skin. It would be possible to use skin files in storage after changing registry.
I recommend cooking your own ROM with your own skin (or mine). (Of course, you cannot use carrier's in this case.
mwang:
There are many *.bmp files used for phone skin. I haven't perfectly found which bmp file is related to each button.
Only with this change, you cannot change "Video" button. The *.dll files (phcanlrc.dll & phcanprc.dll) have resources for "Video" button. You have to change it if you want to change "Video" button.
You will need to change resources of "phcanOverbmp.dll" if necessary.
As for registry, you will find many keys under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]

I have tryed to run one of the files on an Emulator and the Emulator HArd resetted itself. Have you got any idea ??? will that happen with the device also ? PLus does it really mean that you can get rid of the ugly t-mobile phone skin but keep the Video button ??
Churchill:
I've never run these skin files on emulator, but these worked fine on my Qtek-9000. I also can swich skins with these cab files. I have no idea why these skins shut off your emulator.
Regarding "Video" button, these are included in dll files in my cab file. You can modify or replace it to another one. It would be possible to use T-Mobile "Video" button only. (i.e. use Vodafone skin and replace dll to T-Mobile)
P.S. I don't think T-Mobile's is ugly but this is only a taste.
hard reset problem <Emulator
i guess OS on emulator didnt have 3G function.
so relative files of 3G function, such like follows confilict with its owns.
phcanprc.dll
phcanOverbmp.dll
phcanlrc.dll
phcanhtc.dll
phcanrc.dll
anyway, shugo's sikins are for the Phone with 3G,
should not use on Non-3G phone.
You might be right abou that Asukal
Thanx
Best phone skin so far??
I've seen this phone skin...I love it...
And I've used the search function on this site, but can only find it available for smaller screen HTC devices... ie; KJam :x It does not work on the Universal.
I'm no expert, but can someone explain to me how (in idiot's language please) I can recreate this skin for the Universal?
I can use Photoshop easy, so once I figure out how to extract the relevant gif files, I can alter the buttons quite easily....
If someone can explain it to me, I am willing to email / post the results back here...
Here's what the skin looks like...
try spb dialer skin
hi all..
for those who is really bored with the original dialer skin,..
y dont u check the spb software house site..
they give a few free skin (it's made for their spb software actually)..

"Wisbar Advance 2", you have to download from Wisbar website.
But you need to download the Theme from the web (done by somebody) it is call Pocket OsX.
http://members.chello.nl/ddelug/skin.htm
Be warn that Wisbar will slowdown the PPC a little bit.
I think the new dial pad from CrossBow Theme looks better.
how on earth do you change the keypad skin on a universal without going to registry all the time i thought its meant to chnage with the theme.
regards
I actually did registry edit almost manually.
First I copy the keypad related registry out into *.REG files. Keep this as a backup and make another copy to do a text edit and modified it manually. Basically the filenames are the same, I put the new skin in the extended rom, so I need only to change the texts "\Windows\" to "\ExtendedRom\Windows\". Afterwhich I copy the new *.REG back into the registry. Soft reset and NEW ＤＩＡＬＰＡＤ ＳＫＩＮ.
Hallo all,
after reading in several Threads about ozVGA to be one of the top 10 software to be installed on the Ameo I tried to install, too.
However - this became a complete disaster ;-((.
I downloaded the files, installed them as described. I didn't make any changes to the default settings in ozVGA and then pressed the ozVGA Button. After re-boot I only got a white screen with a much smaller "device-busy-icon" (<- you know what I mean ? ).
No reaction from device any more, had to perform a hard-reset and to reinstall everything.
What went wrong ?
Dieter
I have also problems with oZVGA on Ameo. You can try TrueVGA it is much better....

Thanks a lot - runs very well.
However, there is a question I have: How to switch back to "standard" ?

Just run the program/shortcut named "VGAtoggle". It's located under \Windows\Start Menu, so if you're using a localized unit (like I do) you might want to move that shortcut.
Hi to all !
UPDATED 08.02.08 !
V2 available.
Bugs corrected.
See pics below.
PLEASE RELOAD !!!
This is a little contribution for the HTC diamond.
Available for portrait and land mode in true VGA.
- Choose black or white skin folder.
- Install SPB calc CAB.
- Copy "Spbcalc_P_VGA" and "Spbcalc_L_VGA" files in windows folder with "Total Commander" or others.
- Do a soft reset.
- Enjoy !!!
Black Version :
White Version :
Looks great - cant wait to try it out. Thanks
Thats a lot better than the stock version. I was very disappointed with the original one.
Thank you
Yeah !
And what about a white diamond skin ?
Skin updated !
You can choose black or white skin.
Hope you like it !
Thanks
Thanks, looks good........but my calculator keys are not as yours..they travel inward as if you drew them with a horizon point 110mm towards the top.....like looking down an airport runway

If yes, this one is original SPB black skin ...
You must read first post ! ...
1 : Install CAB in main memory.
2 : With "total commander" copy "diamond calculator skin" files (spbcalc_P & spbcalc_L) in windows folder.
3 : Enjoy DIAMOND Calculator Skin !
Thanks Lord Ghost
Thanks....I have found the problem
I followed your advice and reloaded your files...new download.
removed previous version and graphics
reloaded and reinstalled
graphic remained the same [wrong]
re saved the new graphic again....still the same [wrong]
soft reset made no differance
restarted calculator again and graphic was as before [wrong]
turned to landscape...Graphic was corect
turned back to portrait....graphic is now corect..
Windows must somehow cache the graphic and does not re cache until you turn the diamond to another position and then back....soft reset made no differance.
Working fantastic now...thanks from all of us.
Thanks..tested the theory
Thanks again Lord Ghost,
I tested me theory by altering your excellant graphic [and thanks for your hard and excellant work] by lightening the black so as to make it slightly better visable on the diamond.
copied them accross and yes your original graphic [cached] is there...rotated and the new graphic switches in....mystery.
Have included your graphic [you deserve the praise] with my slight allteration in contrast etc.
If you want to use...copy extracted graphics to Diamond's windows [replacing original graphics] start calculator...old graphic will be there...rotate...new graphics will click in.
Again many thanks
Hi, I've tried this on and nice work. Thank you.
However, when I uninstalled the cab file, then the calculator no longer exists?
has anybody got the same problem?
Nice work!
I have reskinned this calculator a lot to many different themes (QVGA), and was planning on a VGA version... No need anymore!
One thing though, your dot-key is one pixel off (to the left).

What do you mean by uninstalling the cab-file? If you don't want to store the cab-file after installing, just delete it. If you use "remove programs" however, you will uninstall the program itself.
If you are missing the original calculator after uninstalling this version, you are right. The installing of this version overwrites the original files. They are not back-upped somewhere, so the will be gone. You have to find a installer-cab for the original files somewhere.
Skin updated !
V2 is available.
See first post and reload.
Thanx and enjoy !

Not sure ...
a) I transfer from PC to internal memory, 3 files , the gif files and cab file.
b) Then I install from internal memory which gives you an option whethre to install into main or internal; which i selected main ...
Earlier post states , main memory ... wonder if that got to do with the transfer ? which is highly not possible ... otherwise Cal will not even work at all .
I really wonder why ?
DO you any possible conflicts with tweaks ? Just got my Diamond few days back ...
Sigh !
Since it is written in main.. guess , I may need a hard reset .. if I cannot find .. start all over again !
Thanks much better than the original one
