Hi guys,
I'm using real Vga with my Uni and I've run onto few problems.
- missing bits of background in the phone skin + small fonts on buttons
(i have seen it posted here some time ago, i just can't seem to find it now :/)
- broken phone code keypad (narrow buttons, small fonts)
And uuhm, there were few others, which i can't recall right now
Thanks in advance

You may download vjbigphone from here:
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJBigPhone
but there isn't a wm6 version available yet.
I'm using VJBigPhone and it works in terms of making the buttons bigger, but fonts are still small :/ maybe i've got an old version, let me try to download again and check again.
Thanks
Oh and also the keypad that shows up when you're phone is locked, it's really narrow, centred, taking only about 30% of screen width :/ anything that i could do with that ?
The biggest loss is the WM6 version of VJbigphone !! I really need this !!!
when I used it on wm5, the fonts didn't change. (but i wasn't bothered)
also i never used lock so i haven't seen that issue.
Curious as to what this app does and how well it works. Anyone have a screenshot of this running.
Thanks
JM
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...

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.
I use a program called Memory-Map Pocket Navigator.
For some reason the icons at the bottom of the screen are ok when I'm using WM 6.5 but if I use WM 6.5.1 the icons are too big to fit the screen correctly. See the screen grabs
I doubt if I get any response from Memory-Map, especially as I'm not using an official ROM so I wondered if anyone has any ideas what is causing this or how I can re-size the application or icons so that I don't have to revert back to 6.5

Copy "LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr" to your computer.
Open it with notepad (or similar).
Change the font size of the part you want to (e.g. "Date text")
Copy the file back to your phone (\Windows\Lockscreen)
Grtz,

Hi
Wherever I have a programme that does not use its own formatted drop down boxes and therefore defaults to the windows mobile white background black writing plain layout I have a lot of trouble getting the screen to react and drop the boxes or make selections, a prime example is if I try to use winmo built in screen tap alignment feature, its a real job to make it accept the taps on the screen. If a programme has formatted boxes there is never any problem Is there a way to make using screen taps better when not running a prog that overrides the plain layout. Thx in advance.
