The iPocket Project - Transforming the JAM into an Apple-lik

Every couple of months for the past 3 years a new rumor about an Apple-branded PDA emerges. And every single time it proves to be nothing but a rumor.
Well, I decided to stop waiting and make my JAM look like an Apple device in what I'm calling "The iPocket Project".
The project is comprised of re-skining the interface and every application possible with apple-like look & feel. I work in the design industry and it won't be aproblem for me to create the designs, but I'll need some help turning the graphics into usable skins. Here are the steps I'm going to take to achieve this:
- Wallpaper
- PhoneAlarm Skin
- Interface Skin (through 3rd party app)
- Intellidialer Skin
- Intellipad Skin
- Phone Dialer
- Windows Media Player Skin
- Sugar cube trick to get rid of the iMate Logo
- Adding an Apple Logo
Any help will be greatly appreciated and, of course, all the pieces will be available here for free download.
To get things started, here are the first JPGs I've created:

Howard Short, I know you are really good with dialer skins. Wanna give me a hand?

You do realize that it won't ever function as seamlessly as an Apple, no matter how you skin it, right?

If you are prepared to offer Wisbar Advance 2 and Snoopsoft Dashboard your patronage, you can have an interface like this one:

Unfortunately, the links are down due to Duckie's server bandwidth being exceeded, but the QVGA version has been temporarily uploaded to the following location:
http://s7.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1HZMH6TJP9ROS08EY5YBA0WBC0
I was already a registered owner of Wisbar Advance, but soon became a registered owner of Dashboard based on the strength of this skin. It goes a long way to transforming the PocketPC interface into something useful rather than just being pretty as well...
Also be sure to check out Buz Lightyear's fantastic keyboard skins in these forums as well. He made a beautiful OS X style one.
By the way, I love your dialer skin graphic! I think there is a tool to allow you to create a .psk file (or something like that) which allows a 3rd party tool to install it. I'll do some hunting...
EDIT: Howard has provided the links to the PSK creator here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=35335. However I am not sure if it will do the intellidialer parts (which you have in your screenshots). I guess if someone (Howard?) has a photoshop file or similar with the necessary cutting lines it should be straighforward to chop those parts out into the necessary in* files to be copied to the \Windows dir. Also, I should be able to knock up the necessary DLL that would be needed to provide the depressed states for those buttons if you can provide a graphic incoporating the depressed states you would like to be seen.
Heck, if nobody steps forward, just post up png/bmp/gif files of exactly what you want seen in the dialer and I will chop it up for you.

Cheers,

Ok, I have created a Photoshop document with the necessary slices set up to allow creation of the various images necessary for the dialer, including the intelidialer section. Ipload it somewhere later. Working on a landscape one shortly. malencar, all I need are the graphics, including down-states and I can package the dialer up into a CAB or a ZIP.
Note that I am currently investigating how to not have the dialer overlay the graphics with it's own text. It doesn't appear to use strings in the registry, so I am checking the dialer code to see if those strings are in resources. Basically we would want the strings removed or at least want the font adjustable. It's currently touch and go whether the fonts can appear the same as in your picture. No problem with the button graphics though. BTW, what font did you use?

I've made a new, refined version for the Dialer. Here it is:
Zetsurin, I'll PM you the link to download the original PSDs I'm working on.
Cheers

Malencar, that's looking awesome! The only technical hitch currently is that the dialer software currently overlays all button graphics with white text in the standard system font. ie. not what we want. I'm looking into it for now, trying to get the DLL's out of my PDA at the moment and will take a closer look... Tempted to just start extending the open source dialer D9 (www.pocketgamer.com/D9) to accomodate those graphics. That would also provide an opportunity to create a dialer which is much better for single handed operation but also a lot more work... the built in HTC dialer app, for all it's fault does seem to be quite tweakable, so there is still hope yet.

Zetsurin,
Here is the version with separated blue buttons so it can work with the white font. For the PSD just go to the same link I sent you before on the PM. I've also included a cut-out blue button with no text to make your life easier ;-)

WMP10 Skin - iTunes Pocket. This version is audio only (anothe one with video coming soon). I'll work on the button pressed states and upload soon.

malencar,
Well one the way with the dialer skin. Should be ready sometime this evening (or your morning)
I had to manually remove the text from the Talk button, as the dialer (man, the standard dialer is CRAP) insists on overlaying the text on that as well. Anyway, it's looking pretty good. Expect a ZIP file later with all the images.
Cheers,
Zet

Malencar,
Here's an early file for the dialer. Not all the images are done yet (some of the buttons, and also none of the intellidialer section), but it serves as a good checkpoint on the progress so far. Just copy the files in the ZIP to your /Windows directory on your Pocket PC.

Maybe this is what you want to achieve???
This is totally IPocket isn't it? Although it's another device, it could be done with a JAM and that would take you less work! And menu-structures could be the same as Apple...
By the way, could you maybe post Mediaplayer skin you made?

The all white dialer skin and Pocket Itunes skin for WMP are great. Mind hooking me up with both of them ?

Did you make that? What did you use to customize the top and bottom bars?

nice job guys! Just for the 411 wisbar advanced is not compadable with pocket pc phones period. Even the latest beta is a no go. The caller ID does not work when wisbar advanced is going. As for these other skins and phone dialers they rock!
Mike

Guys, as for skinning the OS, it just doesn't get better than Duckie's skin IMHO.
I run Wisbar Advance 2 (latest beta, not the .10 final which isn't compatible with Phone Edition) and Snoopsoft Dashboard. I think it's a magic combination. Check out the attached screens...

Aiight people,
Version 0.1 (beta) of the iDialer is here. Zetsurin and I put this together and it is working fine. The Portrait and Landscape versions are included as is the Intellidialer skin. Just drop all the files in your \windows folder and you're good to go.
I'll upload a version with minor refinements as soon as possible.
On another subject, anybody out there willing to put the WMP10 skin together? The design is ready and I can send the PSD file to whomever is willing to help.
Cheers
Malencar

Sorry to tell you but the latest beta in wisbar advanced does not work correctly with the pocketpc phone. The caller ID does not work. So if you don't care about caller ID I guess then you are ok . Try calling your voice mail and then while in your voice mail have someone call you. You will hear the audio beep saying someone is trying to call you but no notification and no way to switch to the other call.
Mike

Also the arrow back button is covered by the intellidialer skin. Any reason why?

Yeah, this is the first beta so, it definitely needs tweaks. The back button thing is a mystery to me. I fixed it and made the button smaller but for some reason it keeps stretching to the size you see now.

Actually, I just double-checked and I have the .24 beta. Anyway, I guess I'm not so popular as I have never had a situation of someone calling me while I was on another call It does tell me who is calling me when it's ringing though, so caller id in that sense seems to be OK. Anyway, that version works fine for everything I do on my mini, so I won't bother upgrading until all issues are ironed out. It must be a pain for the author to get it working right, don't you just wish there was a bit more standardisation in the design of these phone devices, that sure would make it easier for the developers.

I have the D2 sensor intalled so do I still need flip it?

Nothing new here or am I missing something Averma?
Bepe's excellent Gnes.dll and Alphazeros and swtos equally excellent FlipIt front end for it have been around for nearly six months now. I even did a tut for it way back then.
How to Make FlipIt (GNES mod) and LandscapeManila work
I do think Flip_IT_by_WildBerry_Team.cab has been under reported and is one of the most useful rotation utilities around for the diamond. Many of the recent Roms already have landscape manila included and sdkcerts disabled.
So for any users who are after simply wanting Landscape manila I would recommend simply adding FlipIt first. You might find that is all you need to do if you are already running a recent cooked ROM. This has been the case with pretty well all the ROMs I have used in the past few months. If you are using a stock ROM on the other hand you may need to follow the three steps mentioned by averma because the landscape manila will probably be missing.
Now that a fair bit of water has gone under the bridge I wonder if we can persuade the Wildberry guys with Bepes approval to do a tiny bit more work on FlipIt. A better icon maybe and one or two other minor tweaks.

you can try installing everything but Flip it and see if it works, if not as far as i know Flip it is different from other Gsensor apps because it doesn't actually landscape the phone, it instead emulates the touchpro's keyboard sliding out (causing the screen to landscape)
remember to post your experience, if it worked, and if any errors anywhere incase i need to update

I just tried, CANNOT use without flip it and only with gryator 2.
i just wonder is that a Music tab available for the landscape mode? maybe need to wait for the one from touchpro2 ...
Very good! this is exactly what I want! many thanks!

Ya I'm putting this up for anyone using a stock or cooked rom without Landscape support. I realize this has been around for some time now but it was fairly hard to find.
The main reason I'm doing this as well is the files floating around became so dated, the old files for this are just painfully slow, and most people have to either resort to that or do it themselves, also this doesn't void warranty (as its just a cab files = no Hard SPL required)
This version is built off of the latest official TouchPRO rom I could find. I'm running an older 2.0 I cooked myself because i like the reliability and stability of it But because these are pulled from a 2.03 equivalent touchpro rom I noticed a massive speedbost in scrolling and just overall better performance (not to mention landscape ).
Basically what i'm saying is this will be useful for people who don't SPL or people who are running a slower version of manila (or whoever wants it)
Also... THEEEEMEESSSS !!! lol

Fair enough. The Slide White Theme looks nice by the way. Might try start a dedicated FlipIt thread as well, because like you say - it is hard to find and it probably warrants one given how useful it is.

the FLIT_IT is actually different from G-config/Diamond2 Gsensor & Gyrator 2! Only Flip_it work with the touchPRO landscape manila & the landscape incoming call.
Is it because it emulate KEYBOARD OUT as well?
The only problem of FLIP_IT is that I cannot toggle / turn it off temporary ....

CDMA Touch diamond landscape
It works great on the cdma version of the touch diamond. Flip it is required for it to work, i think flip is a great program to use for screen rotation for the touch diamond....

Is it possible to use this landscape mode instead of the default one in the Rhodium manila vga port?

Error screen
When I try to install the UDA file, It installs about halfway, then says insufficient system permissions.

hey great app! really looking forward to themes

This is really cute and all but I was wondering if this is available for the Sprint HTC Touch Pro and also if it's possible for me to keep my Sprint theme ('cause I really think it's cute with all of the neon colors the Sprint theme has [This theme is cute too but black and white would make my phone look utterly dull]) but still have TouchFlo 3D enabled on my device?
Oh and does anyone know how to activate landscape mode on messages?
It's pretty stupid how the on-screen keyboard is enabled when you pull out the keyboard.
Thanks

This should be able to install on any diamond/pro (Justin41689 confirmed working on CDMA)
the theme would probably have to be reinstalled, i think its available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489531
as for your landscape keyboard problem you can try the attached PQzII cab. (can't remember where i got it) but it enables a different SIP on portrait and a different SIP on landscape.
you could probably set your regular keyboard for portrait, and a null keyboard for landscape > solving your popup keyboard problem
Also you probably won't need flip it if your using the keyboard to rotate the screen. but it you want autorotate with G-sensor then it is required

Averma, how can I buy you a beer/coffee/donate whatever??!! You just fixed the annoying problem I have had with my Fuze since upgrading the stock ROM to the new HTC ROM! Landscape icons were white blocks and would freeze like that when you went back to portrait. Did your install, reinstalled themes and BANG! Perfectly working Fuze (although that's a bit of an oxymoron).
Thanks!

Adderz Theme Sets: M2Ds, Comm Managers, Video Dialers, Splashs *SIP BETA RELEASED*

Hey Guys
Well ive been lurking around these boards for over a year now. I thought i should gather up all the things ive either skinned myself or found.
Ive never been *truly* happy with my device, or Windows Mobile, and so over time ive put together some M2D themes and Comm Managers and now im trying my hand at making a Dialer and its turning out pretty good (i think).
My aim is/was to unify my device and make the interface look better.

Make sure to use the very latest M2DC otherwise i think the clocks might be a bit off.

Video Dialers
Well i found this video dialer and decided to skin it. They are up to BETA 4 which means the primary and secondary screens are both skinned but there are still little bits a bobs that need to be done, but its 95% complete. If you have another dialer installed, uninstall that one first then install this one.

Lime Dialer Beta 4 Download Link NEW
KEYBOARD SKINS
Beta 1
This is only a skin for the Keyboard, not the full qwerty or any of the others. The others deal with the letters differently, so its going to be harder to skin, same with the symbol page. So they have NOT been skinned. This skin is for WWE only.
Ok this one requires a bit more effort to install. First you need to make SURE you have this keyboard below ALREADY installed:
If you do, you can now download the files, unzip them, and copy them all to the Windows folder, overwriting the original files. You will need to use Resco File Explorer, Total Commander or a Windows PC to copy them. File Explorer does not work.
Then you soft reset your phone and you should have the new skin installed.

Splash Screens
Here is one i found, i didnt do anything to it, im just uploading it again because its so great and fits in with our Touch Cruises so well. When i get a chance i want to work out how to turn the white bits red and lime and blue etc to match the M2D themes above. I tried "replace Colour" with photoshop but it just gave me a horrible pixelated mess.
Polaris Flower Startup Screen
Now the following to screens replace the second or third screens you see when you boot your device. I cant remember which one exactly. These match the "Red" and "Lime" themes up above. These also wernt done by me but im uploading them again because i think they fit in perfectly.
Simply rename them welcomehead.96 then disable touchflo, copy them to the Windows folder, then re-enable Touch flo! You may need to use TotalCommander to copy it over if File Explorer wont let you.

S2U2 GFX
Well here is another Beta, this time for S2u2 graphics. I might redo the clock because that look is a bit dated. Or maybe i might redo the clock in the M2D theme to match this one..hmm..decisions...
Anyway here are the files, just copy the gfx folder into your S2U2 folder, overwriting the old gfx folder. It has been tried and tested on S2U2 Version 2.01
Dont know if ive skinned all the files but most of them are done.
S2U2 2.01 gfx

great effort mate - thanks for sharing

GREAT!
Thank you!

*wipes brow* just finished redoing all the buttons for the Lime Dialer. Its quite striking to say the least. Its still a beta though, with the secondary screen still having the normal buttons but 80% of it is done.

Thank you for your Comm Manager, anybody there can guide me to get 3G to GSM button instead of data connection button. My problem is, i am using 3D setting SIM card when i set to 2G postpaid, 3G celcom still appear at today screen. TQ

Well ive added a Red Comm Manager. Its a beta because when you select something the highlighter doesnt go away. Everything works but if you select more than one thing it just looks a little odd...i might have to switch to a different comm manager to fix the issue..hmmm
To change the options in the Comm Manager use "Advanced Config". Open it > Menu > More Settings > Comm Manager >
EDIT: Well ive been fiddling with the registry settings today and i have found where to change the text on the secondary screen in the dialers, but ive tried two colours and they both turned out blue (wtf?). Ill have to read up on my hexadecimals
EDIT: I did it! I managed to get the text to black. Its a slightly brighter red than the dialer because i dont know how broad the colour range is. Ill upload soon.
EDIT: Well im now uploading Beta 4 of the Dialer. Ive skinned the buttons on the secondary screen when you press down on them. They are now white instead of black to match the other buttons. Ive also moved the red bar down a few pixels so the Mobile Carrier fits on the grey space and doesnt hang over.
EDIT: Im going to try skinning a SIP now. In the same Red and Lime (and black). I dont know how its going to turn out. It might be too difficult to see in all but the perfect conditions. But we will see how it goes....Ill post up some screenshots of the Alphas if i have any luck doing it.
EDIT: Ive updated the Lime Dialer to the new secondary screen. So now they are both 95% skinned. It seems you cant finely tune the colours for the text. Perhaps they only have a 256 colour palette? Im going to leave them how they are for now, while i try fixing the Comm Manager issue. The SIP might take a bit longer than expected. I have crappy wireless internet at the moment and downloading anything is a major pain.
EDIT: *Sigh* why must everythg be so difficult. I tried skinning the default HTC keyboard and all was going well until i loaded it on my Polaris. It doesnt change any graphics, even though i loaded a cab on with the new ones. It leads me to suspect that the CAB is not overwriting the existing files, but simply creating a copy...thus not getting used. I need to work out how to delete the original keyboard files so the only ones in use are the ones i install with the cab. ARGH!

Well after 2 hours of tinkering ive finally worked out how to make skins for the HTC Keyboard.
Im going to do the keypad layout first as its the easiest to do lol

Ok im uploading the 12 button keyboard skin.
Please take note of the following:
This is for the 12 button keyboard ONLY, all other symbol screens and other keyboards have not been skinned yet.
To install it you will need to use Resco Explorer or Total Commander.
Please make sure you already have the keyboard installed, these are the skin files only, not the keyboard itself.
This skin is for English countries only
To uninstall you will need to copy the original files back over, if anyone needs them i will upload them, just send me a message.
EDIT: Im going to try skinning S2U2 now...what else do people want skinned???

any way
again and again thanks Jagan2

Jagan
Hip Hip Hurray!!!!
Great job bro....
Lets see how it goes now...
Cheers

Flashed, configured.
This is amazingly fast, i love that, that's what i wanted since i understood that i could flash my rom.
OMAP [email protected], spb mobile shell 3.5, sense ui, finger menu, condor GT black...
Everything works fine together, no bugs for the moment.
But i'm looking for a better taskbar, light on memory, to replace the icons line i hate. Any ideas?

Oh yeah i am happy that you liked, and yes i too hate those default icons but since i promised to many to give atleast once a clean rom, so did i next time fully customized and will try to improve battery and free ram more.
And taskbar = android one is in fashion
And for start menu icons = hd2 icons are famous but if you wanna try the latest one then firestorm icons are the latest and newest available on theme section.

Yep i'll check for an android taskbar, since i have a full android theme trhough mobile shell, that should be a good idea to keep in that way
Sync works fine, btw, i'm testing it right now.
And you rom is perfect, cleanest rom are the best, everyone could get the phone that fits exactly his own needs... No customisation at first run is not a problem for me
Very nice rom, i'll test it all day long, and will come back to give feedback if anyone is interested.
Thanks a lot jagan, my opal has been crying for this ro his whole life!

• Some RAM and Battery saving tips
1. Keep on Hibernating your phone.
2. Use M2DC( Manilla2d customizer) and remove the tabs you don’t use.this reduces touchflo2d.exe size saving some RAM.
3. Keep the backlight at level 2 to save battery.
4. Use USBTOPC for faster data transfer.
5. Give your device a restart every alternate days.
6. Use touchpal keyboard with Ezinput skin to have the lates HTC keyboard experience which is fast,responsive,finger friendly and RAM saving.
7. Use light dialer skins.
8. Use S2P istead of Audio Manager.
9. Turn off touchflo while watching movies in Core Player or while using Camera.

New ROM
Cool. I'll give it a try. Thanks.
Ok, I've downloaded it and flashed my phone with it. When it reboots I see the Tri-Color screen and get the following error message:
Your OS ROM isn't customized for your hardware. Please reflash the proper ROM code or contact the service center.
I've seen an error message something like this previously, if not exactly like this. It's been a while so I don't remember what it was. But I received the error message when I tried a ROM that was region locked. Is your ROM region locked?

when I flash your rom, my Opal stay at bootloader screen with this text
"Your OS ROM isn't customzed for your hardware"
is there a solution?

Yesterday I tried to flash this ROM and got the same error message as stated in post 2 and 3.

tried this rom yesterday....i hav to say it was really very good, very fast, lots of free ram, and very original looking...
but i installed evo 2 again because i cant access file explorer with touch, means it works only with d-pad, and calender also....

So Are we GONA get a REPLY in this case???....chefs-reply..

I gave the ROM a shot, i dint face the problem as stated many times above, but (no offence intended) I really found this ROM very annoying, File explorer loads very slowly, many apps dont work not even the basic ones like OMAPclock. Touch interface doesnt work in file explorer or while messaging, you have to resort to the hard keys to navigate through it, Manila is unable to load music, SenseUI doesnt seem to work (Mobile Shell to be precise). Hope for these issues to be addressed quickly,
Thanx and Regards,
(P.S no offence intended, honestly.)
