i downloaded the new firmware update but i dont know how to uncompress the file. plz help! thank you
There are several programs to unpack .rar files, this type of compressed files were created by a programmer (who's middlename is roshal if I recall well), there is a software company (I think it was founded by this programmer), Rarlabs -that incidentally does a freeware version for windows mobile-, there you'll find Winrar (it's shareware and after the evaluation period it will tell you that your copy is not registered and ask you to buy it, but you can use it always anyway).
Then there are several other programs that can "unrar" a file, there is (was) the old DOS compatible Unrar (I think it should be available always from rarlabs), or you can use 7zip, that does unrar (but cannot create rar files) and it's freeware and if you don't like any of these, you can always search for another option of your taste.
bye

wauw! very comprehensive
Couldn't do that better!
my reply would be:
rarlabs.com
Mine would have been, when in doubt try wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAR
My opinion is that if you don't know how to unpack .rar files you shouldn't mess with your phone. Ever.
My reply would have been:
XDA-DEVS is a free encyclopedia, NOT a Hotline
PS: google exists

a free progam called 7-zip should do the trick
RAR for PocketPC is free.
And yes, I agree. Don't mess with your phone if you're not able to use a search engine.
I concur with the general opinion here, search is your friend and reading will set you free... if you dont know how to decompress a file you definitely shouldnt be playing with this phone... I hope it turns out well for you, careful you dont brick it...

I don't see the fuss about the rotate icon. You could write your own in 5 minutes or less.

Hi,GilesTheAlmighty
The theme you needed here. It is done by my buddy-Kicd!
And you can download many beautiful themes from my friends in www.hkppc.com
Doesn't work for me
I tried this screen rotate fix on my TyTn (HTC Rom 1.35), and it doesn't work.
I looked at this, but quite frankly there are so many apps that include this as an included feature...
It does't work on my TyTN (ROM 2.11.258.1) ... Neiter the xelashiu's solution, nor vijay555's registry keys...
Is there a solution?!
This is total fluff, but...if you're tired of the Sprint Ahead animation during startup of your device, and are sick of iPhone users whipping out their 'units' to show you how purdy they are...try this on for size.

I made this the same size and frame number as the original so you simply have to drop it into your \windows directory...right-click the image above and 'save picture as...' and rename to 'SPCS_startup.gif' (btw - it doesn't loop...so if you didn't see it, refresh your browser)
Enjoy!
-E
you could just turn off the startup animation using the configuration tools available on this site.
Yeah...I'm aware of that...but where's the fun in that? (also, mine doesn't seem to boot any faster without the animation)
-E
how would i go about this on a vzw xv6800? i am not seeing the SPCS_startup.gif in the windows folder. I'm assuming the startup animation is under a different filename. Anyone know?
can you explain how to do this step by step? sorry just got my phone and still trying to figure out everything
Tried to do this per your instructions on my Mogul but the original file on the stock rom won't delete and it also won't let me copy this one in it's place. What now?

Yea I had this same issue..It doesnt allow you to rename it...or delete it either. Guess its not as easy as he made it seem.

Try copying it to the device first (like in my docs) and then use the file explorer in the device to overwrite the old file.
If you try to do it from your desktop it will simply say the file is protected...
But if you do it from the device it will ask you if you really want to overwrite the file and release it just long enough to let you change the file.
I did this from my Mogul not from the desktop. Used the device to go to this thread. Copied the .gif to my storage card, re-copied and tried to paste to the Windows directory. It asked if I wanted to replace the file with this one. I tapped yes. Error message: File cannot be replaced. Tried to delete the original file. Error message: File cannot be deleted. I appreciate your help with this. I'm not a noob, I just don't really post or upload anything.
use total commander
worked great thanks
Sorry for not explaining it further...and for not getting back to those who were interested. I guess I never even tried to copy directly from the desktop OS...I always pull data from my desktop to storage on the device before doing anything with it.
I'm glad that somebody else out there thought this was at least a little amusing and decided to throw it on their device.
Wanted to share a couple of New Decks Tested on wm5/6/6.1

Deck1
Deck2
Just copy the pegcards.96 to your windows directory or install the cab file
Deck 2 works like a charme
Thanks
Can someone see if deck 1 works to?
Gee...what made you try out Deck 2 over Deck 1 first?
But yeah...I'll try both of them....
lollll it's nice idée, thank you very much
I dropped the dll in my windows folder and then even restarted the phone but it was no good.
I noticed that the current dll in windows is pegcards.dll and not pegcards96.dll will that have something to do with it.
Maybe I have a different version of solitaire.
I'm using a T-Mobile Wing with Aserg's Rom v12
thankssssssssssssss
I have these on my fuze and enjoy these greatly, but one quick question. Is there anyway to get the cards separated just a hair? You know like once they are flipped face up.
For example in the top pick. The 4th row from the left, the queen, jack. ten. Is there anyways to get the cards separated just a tad more so you can see the under lying cards better? In this case the queen and jack symbols.

Any chance of getting a VGA version? I like deck2
Can you post a VGA pegcards.dll or PM it to me i will try when i get time
Also someone asked how this was done well you need a few tools all availible on this forum (Unsigner,signer,reshacker,search for file suite
1:
Remove any Attributes from the Dll you want to edit ie.. read only,hidden ect..
This can be done easily in windows by right clicking the file and unticking all the file attribute boxes
2:
Next you must Unsign the file you want to edit! Just go into the Unsign dir and drop the file over UnSigner.exe.
A Command Prompt Window will popup for a short time, saying the file is now unsigned! (if this fails go back to stage 1)
3:
Now you can edit the file make your changes to the Graphics or Text.
4:
Now you must resign the file open siggner.exe. Then choose the file you edited and take the "SDKSamplePrivDeveloper" Certificate.
Press "Start sign process" a text file should be created with the name of the file you just edited ,Read this text file to make sure the file you edited was signed successfully
5:
Remember to replace the attributes (read only,ect...) for the file you edited make sure that you do this stage last and not before trying to sign the file or your signing will fail
Thanks to schreda for putting together all you need in one package

This How To will show you step by step how to create a cab file.
You can cab up anything you want to put on your phone in ANY directory...
Cab Manager Program
I use and recommend WinCE Cab Manager (Get it HERE)
it has a 30 day free trial and is $99 after that...
Sure there are more out there... Feel free to Post
Getting Started
First you will need a file to cab. We will start with a basic single manila file.
i have attached one if you don't already have..
* Here you can simply add a document/picture to your my documents folder
After Installing Open WinCE Cab Manager

}
Enter Name's for Company and whatever cab your making
Just Click Next..
Just Click Next Again....
And now click finish...
Now this should be what you have. Displays all info for cab file
Now we need to add the files.
From windows explorer just click and drag the files right on top of Files...
Once you do that the following dialog box pops up...
Here you can change name or attributes
Click Location tab
Here you can choose what directory to put file(s) in. you can also add a new folder
Click Ok
Now back at main screen
Here you can "Allow Uninstall"
also you can Compress
I recommend compressing for files over a meg or two
From the menu click CABINET...PROPERTIES...
Here you can change ALL properties of cab file
Click OK...
Back at the Main Screen...
All left to do is review and Save
You can also add Shortcuts and make changes to the registry...
Now to Save...Choose location and SAVE!

Awesome, thank you!! I'd been looking at some other "how-to-cab" guides, this one seems to be as simple as can be
Looks like I've got my weekend project all lined up now
Hello,
I've just modded the px5 radio for my personal use, so I share it here if it can be useful to others as well. Sorry for the bad picture, it renders way better in real.
I've only tested with 1024*600 resolution.
Ideas of improvement are welcomed!

Hy m8!
Great work I was also trying to change for myself, but I gave up reverse engineering (takes too long) I am a software developer and I would appreciate, if you could share your source code with me? Background: i want to create a custom style for my old mercedes with new android head unit px5. What do you say? Or explain what to do exactly... On the other hand - promise - I will share with community too!

This is no rocket sience...
Your unit needs to be rooted!
Search for the related apps on your device, copy them to a stick.
Extract the APK with 7z and search there for the background picture in the folder "res".
Create a background picture in the same size as your screen resolution (1024x600) and name it exactly as the found background picture.
Just now use 7z to open the APK file (do not extract) move to the folder you found the background while it´s just opened in 7z and paste the new file to this folder.
Close the in 7z opened APK and copy it back to your stick.
Open the file path on your device (root rights needed), rename the original APK to may be radio.bak and copy the new one in this folder.
Change the permissions of the file back to 644.
Reboot device and you have the new background in.
This can be done with all related PNG files for the APK, as long you don´t extract it while adding the new pics.
Needs to be done after each update. So store them accordingly.
Edit:
There are different screen resolution folder to search. So have a look where you find the background related to your device.
If you don´t see any changes after reboot, you chosed the wrong folder.
