New to windows mobile 6.1 - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

I would like to start using all these tweaks how exactly do i install all of them? I'd first like to install that G sen thing so I can text in landscape, and is there a mod to change the big clock at the home screen?

that will require time, reading and searching! welcome btw

thanks I am starting my research now

for apps like gsen, they are .cab files.
Just copy the .cab to the phone, click on it and it acts linke an install on windows.
For the others, you may need some registry tweaks. For that you need a regedit software.

so i can just add g sen right now and install it, and thnks for helping

Hermes Control Panel Applets
Hey,
I have reviewed the list of control panel applets and tested them. I will attach all of the working HERMES applets. All of these will display the default icons used in the control panel. If you change these to .txt files you can see the links.
Thats want I want, what I really really want

rk-TSR Scheduled Theme Switcher (1.0.2)[Updated Sep 17,2007]

rk-TSR: Automatic theme/wallpaper switcher.
Latest version 1.0.2 Supports wallpaper switching too! and better file browser has been implemented.
Here is the theme/wallpaper switcher application I built to switch themes (*.tsk) and wallpaper (*.jpg,*.gif) based on the schedules you setup. i.e, Automatically loads the theme/wallpaper you specified at scheduled time.
I am using day, evening and night themes to reflect on my HTC today screen.
Supports command line execution
Code:
To enable the application--> \program files\rk-TSR\rk-TSR.exe enable
To disable the application--> \program files\rk-TSR\rk-TSR.exe disable
To load the theme--> \program files\rk-TSR\rk-TSR.exe “\storage card\rkAzulBlue.tsk”
To load the wallpaper--> \program files\rk-TSR\rk-TSR.exe “\storage card\MyWallpaper.jpg”
(To load the theme from command line the theme must be configured and listed in rk-TSR, but wallpaper would load without being listed in the application.)
Looks cool with the HTC weather icons!
Install and configure schedule for each theme
Also included my themes(You can use your own themes)
It will work on WM5 and WM6.
Does not write anything to registry and not memory resident (not a background process)
Attachments:
rkAzulThemes.zip contains three ziped themes, check the screenshot.
rk-TSRSetup.CAB is the theme/wallpaper switcher application
Let me know.
Note: this application requires Compact Framework 2.0
You need compact framework 2.0 installed inorder to run this application. The compact framework is already part of WM6, so if your device is WM6 skip this step. But most of the WM5 devices do not have this update. So you must download here and run the installation on your desktop (then active sync to update your device). Only after completing this step install the application.
If you like my work consider donation on paypal
Download from here
Giving it a try
Looks nice will let you know.
Great JOB!
Thx

Copy the *.tsk files to any directory(do not copy to \windows directory.)
You can put the tsk file on storage card or under \my documents. Now when you click 'add' button on the rk-TSR you it should show up. But when you click the 'add' button you have to make sure that the theme you are adding must be already loaded.
To load the themes go to Start\Settings\Today
Let me know if you need more information. Glad to help you.

It can be custumized any way.... eg.
You can setup 22:00 to load the night theme(or any theme you like) and setup 06:00 Day theme, may be 15:00 to load the olive theme.
Bascially you are telling the program to load a theme for you at a time specified by you.
HTH
Thanks again. Tested it. and its great.
seems nice, testing
Thanks Tytnguy,
I dowloaded and use this great little program. Is it possible tweak it so I can set up different days also?
I have a theme for work hours and a different one for after 5pm. would be great set it different again on Sat/Sun.
Hello,
which with this program still another good thing would be, is automatic switch with sunset or stairway. There are yearly calendars for such information.

Device : HTC Tytn
OS : WM6
When the theme changes at the scheduled time, all elements of the theme change except for the background image. Works fine when I manually use the 'test' option.
Also, its a real pain to have to load up the theme before being able to set it. Also would be nice to beable to edit an existing entry (i.e. change the time and/or theme).
Looking good - and it could evolve into a great little utility.

Are you using a theme and some background picture? Try themes only and see if it happens(Try the themes i posted and test it) I have been using only themes on my TyTn and never experienced any issues so far. Let me know what happens in your test.

Yeah, I know the theme loading is kind of a pain, but I need some additioal info from the theme in order to load it silently! So only when the theme is loaded I can get it from the registry and store it in my program!
Yes being able to edit the time and swich existing themes should be a nice feature! I will do it for next version
Bye the way, thanks for trying it out and giving me the feedback

Yes, it is called the sytem tray.
Have a search for Traylaunch or BatteryStatus, both of these allow you to place links to programs in the tray. The tray is right alligned and only displays small icons.
Claunch is more tweakable but you may struggle to place it at the bottom of the screen without using other fixed height today plugins.

What did the missing DLLs do? I didn't have any issues with the first cab that was made.
your phone may have already had the DLL's ... depending on the Rom you are using.
Since the Cooks remove files from their roms as they please... some cooks may leave them and some may remove them ... so it just depends.
does that myfaves cab work on smartphones too or only touch?
The files I used were from PPC not smartphone. You may try asking over in one of the smartphone forums... maybe someone there has made a myfaves cab for the smartphone edition.
i just got myfaves today but it wont go into affect till midnight so my question is... does this cab automatically start the myfaves program?
nvm got it working
thnx for the cab!
Thanks!
Just wanted to thank you for this CAB file! Works great on my Wing. Thanks Duprade!
My Smartphone runs Windows Mobile 2003.
I was unable to install this cab - does anyone know the minimum OS necessary?
And if its WM5.0, can someone point me to how I can upgrade my phone to that OS?
Thank you.
I am running on Aserg's latest, and it's flawless. A couple of my friends also have no issues using it. Great work as usual. Thanks a million.

HD2: Can the lock slider change to bottom?

Does anyone know how to change the lock slider to the bottom like the iPhone? please help. Thanks.
search "S2U2" via google.
problem is I'll slide twice as both two lock screen programs are running
For a start, there is a way to turn off the default lock screen if you're using S2U2
Tip 27 from the Hints and Tips thread (I strongly suggest you read it all)
Tip 27. Disable Auto Screen Lock
If you use S2U2, you would have hated the double lock annoyance. Now you can turn off default Auto Screen Lock.
Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0, or use the following cab:

Second, you don't need to use a 3rd party app, you can just run the HeartOfWolf Lockscreen mod in my signature and it'll move the slider to the bottom of the screen for you. I have no idea why they put it at the top?

At the bottom, the OP posted a modified 480x800 cpr file to do want you want. All you need to do is change the extension from .txt to .cpr, open file explorer and put it in the Windows\Lockscreen file and soft reset.
EDIT:
Also, if you are using the HeartofWolf Mod and would prefer to have the original larger slider size instead of the small skinny one, I've made a few modifications to his LS_LockScene_480x800 and attached it below. All you need to do is change the file extension from .txt to .cpr and install it into your windows\lockscreen file, soft reset and you're good to go. Of course, please back up the original LS_LockScene_480x800 before installing this one, just in case you would like to revert back to the small slider. And of course all credits to HeartofWolf, I just made a couple of changes to his work.

It literally swaps the slider and phone location on the lock screen, nothing more.
Another nice solution is DJ Pete's locksreen. It's a simple modification of the windows lockscreen with manila clock, calendar appointments and slider variations. You can find it at pocketpc.ch in the thread
[Lockscreen] iLook v3.0c [NEUE VERSIONEN!|WM6.5/6.5.x WVGA][27.02.10].

Kandekied, to get you started, go into your windows directory inside file explorer and open the lockscreen folder. Next, copy the file LS_LockScene_480x800 somewhere onto your PC and open it using notepad. That particular file is for Portrait. If you want to modify landscape also, then copy LS_Lockscene_800x480. With the file open on your PC in notepad, you are now ready to begin modifying. The particulars of what you want to do would take alot of space on this post to describe, but to get you pointed in the right direction, I've copied a few threads for you to look at that will help you get started.

You see, this is why I asked for more information about this in the first place. I never install a cab that I've not read about first and that people have tested a bit. You should always link to the thread a cab came from, not just the cab.
Also, chill out. You installed a cab from a random thread and it wasn't what you wanted. If you have to hard reset it's your problem not ours.
If people don't reply to a post it's because they either don't want to or don't know. There is no point in wetting your panties and posting multiple times. It's more likely just to p!ss everyone off and make them not reply.
