REQUEST: WM7 Theme for Phonealarm?

Hey, does anyone have or can help me make a WM7 like theme for Phonealarm?
Here's what I have for rlToday. I used the one that was posted here and did a couple of adjustments. What I really want - and I can't do on rlToday - is to integrate the battery, RAM, storage memory, and SDcard memory gauges into the theme. For now, I have it separate under Resco Today plugin and it looks out of place.

If anyone can help me out, let me know. I have a lot of the graphic files on hand.

**********************************update *****zip file is included in post number 7 ***********
I have my own version.
It is based on phonealarm mixing lots of things, mostly iwise, rockability & littlerain stuff (thanks to them).
It has a bigger clock, with the alarm icon appearing in the middle
On the right side of the clock I have date, digital clock, operator (I have dual SIM), pa profile, and small weather icons + bt, wifi and data icons.
When you click the clock you toogle the screen brigthness (for outdoor instant usage).
I use MVBklight, which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379270
In the normal mode I combine it with todayagenda or spb diary
The skin changes with the profile, so while in the car, the bottom part has also big buttons for the tt7, A2DP bt, the voice recognition, set volume and so on.
You must define the applications in the advance tab in pa.
The list of relationships between icons and apps are:
*Image_AppLink12=quickgps, to update tomtom info ota
*Image_AppLink11=iRadares, great app to download tomtom radars, voices, icons and poi file (spain)
*Image_AppLink13=Voice Commander, the one comming with the cuise as default
*Image_AppLink7=Setvolume0.43: also in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395695
*Image_AppLink6=BTAudiotoogle, to send the pda voice to the parrot ck3100
*Image_AppLink2=TomTom, that's clear I think.
*Image_AppLink17=WisBar Advance 3 - [Task Panel]
*Image_AppLink9=backlight (m command)
*Image_AppLink19=void, only to support a background image
*Image_AppLink18=void, only to support a background image
There is also a "home" tab showing the weather instead of the analog clock (at home I am not in a hurry and i have the digital clock as always). When I select the home profile, pa changes the SIM to the private one also. The skin is so different because I want to notice that I changed the SIM (the operator does not reflect this always).
There is a "outdoor" tab with no use so far: should be for a specific setting for outdoor and music oriented, with bt settings and a music tab or plug-in but I have not found anything as I want so far. May be you can give me a start on this area.
I usually combine it with wisbar and wisbar desktop to hide top bar and build a wm7 bottom bar
instead of the top bar I have the meters taken from a statusbar skin (sorry I can not recall the author) since I like it more than the ones in I wise. The meters are part of phone alarm skin. Between the meeters I have a windows incon with the wisbar taskmanager,
usually I combine this being the 1st tab of ultimatelaunch: let me recap: phonealarm as a plugiin of ultimatelaunch, being itself a plugin in wisbar.
I can not upload screenshot but if you want me to post the phonealarm skin I will do. As you see it is very customized so you need to be familiar with phonealarm skinning, so if it is useful for you or for anybody else who may also want to help me improve the graphics side....
I can not post the files right now because since my cruise is in the bedroom and my wife is sleeping but I will do if somebody requests it.
btw. the folder is called iwise so if you have this wonderful skin installed (the best wm7-ish for people who do not want to get complicated) you will have to change forlder name and reference in the phonealmarm .skin files. (updated: already renamed to cruiserrr)
I have customized the same skin in rl-today but I like it more with phonealarm since in rl-today tabs are slow as in phonealarm but with phonealarm you get the profiles functionality at the sametime and better than any other program I have tried so far.
I just wanted to answer you since I read your post a long time ago and I was surprised since I did not see any answer today
**********************************update ******zip file is included in post number 7 ***********

Please do post it.

If you go to the PhoneAlarm forum or search here for iWise it is perfect.
Very clean, and nice looking. And it is just a simple cab install. Try to find IWise3 because that was the last one before the dude went crazy and deleted all his posts and stuff.
He has a clean version, professional version and simple version on top of a transparent version. So it basically will meet all your needs.

He is not crazy lol read at the thread what has happened actually and if I were him I would do same things
Btw the skin is not deleted you can find it on pocketmax main page of site..and yes so far that skin is looks same with WM7

cruiserrr skin
Here you are ! The file is below. I have a spanish 6.1. official rom so my sd card is called "Tarjeta de Almacenamiento" and I have windows/start menu/programs also in spanish. May be you have to change something manually.
I have updated the description in the 3rd post above.
The skin is defined with calibri font but I have not included the fonts (I hard reseted some time ago and did not have time to reinstall them, any help to test and add the fond will be welcome).
any help to improve usability with thumbs or to improve graphics is welcome. I have no idea how to make a cab of it.
My wish list to complete my ideal skin would be:
realistic:
improve clock: 1.when clicking to clock most of the times it changes backlight but a few others I still get the change time screen) 2. I think I would like it slightly smaller to give more space to the agenda bottom part.
profile selector: names are not shown completely I do not know why
mail/sms/voice: I ripped the graphics from a jpg file and added the green balloon so they can be better aligned and with better definition.
car buttons: make them more integrated in the style of the skin, and more selfexplanatory
dual sim support: it is supported but I have not been able to benefit from it. I have a single sim with two numbers inside.
unrealistic:
copy+paste tool and hide-top-bar tool with small footprint or included in phonealarm
weather plugin: written sentence explaining today's forecast and ability to define weather should be sync only when active sync'd
clock: different colours and seconds (as in rl-today)
plug-ins: possibility to include plug-ins so they change also with the profile.
profile selection and weather forecast: kinetic scrolling
battery and signal: possibility to show % if wanted and higher area of sensitivity to open details.
apps: possibility to define them in the skin instead of mapping the button to the app and defining the app in the pa settings tool
link to wm6 notifications: I have to open whatever application so that the top bar shows and then check the notification (other than alarms, emails and the rest that are controlled by pa)
multitab: quick multitab functionality when no change profile is defined.
background: may be would be nice to change by profile or by event (missed calls)

Any chance on making this in landscape? It looks awsome!!

robbyr, thanks so much for the compliment !! I have no plans to make it landscape since I only use landscape mode for tomtom and since I have not that much time at this moment but I will happily support anyone willing to try to do it !! The skin files can be opened with notepad and you will see it is not that bad.
In fact it has been difficult for me to build the skin since I can not install any software in my pc so all was done with basic image programs and online converters and try-and-error ...
note: as you know, to completely uninstall the skin is as easy as deleting the cruiser folder and the cruiser*.skin from the pa directory where you have copied it.

thats for qvga correct.. i need vga

Yes, it is only QVGA! I tried to optimize graphics size and I do not need VGA resolution. For QVGA you can double size of all objects and reference to them as coordinates. iWisen is VGA/QVGA since PA is able to handle VGA as QVGA.

with current phonealarm version you only need to add a line to the skin so is vga compatible. simply add
VGA_Skin=1
to each skn file with a text editor and that should fix it.

I know, I breaks the scheme somehow...
but most of the time it is covered by the signal bars
I need to find a silver globe, would fit better

nice! much better than your Q series imho, keep the icon simple, too much details, you will lose it on a 3.2" screen.
I look forward for your completion of the X series!

WOW, it is so cool! I like it!

Thanks! I'm like this!

Nice but the 3g and battery icon don't change and appear as the normal default look

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes they do appear: look at my screen capture
If they don't appear for you, is because you have your registry settings changed to phcanOverbmp.DLL; maybe a previous taskbar was not properly uninstalled and the tweaked reg settings were kept
This taskbar is 100% based on Xperia X1 (Kovsky) system files
The Xperia X1 handles the battery and signal icons thru shellres.192.DLL, NOT phcanOverbmp.DLL, which is nearly empty on the Xperia: contains the phone canvas (skin) only
Other HTC phones use phcanOverbmp.dll for battery and signal, thus, most taskbars CAB installers include registry changes to re-direct battery and signal to phcanOverbmp.DLL
I can solve this by adding the original (standard) Xperia X1 phcanOverbmp.dll to the package, but even that wouldn't override your altered system settings

wow they looks very cool... you steal my idea
this is another waiting cursor, just in case
bouncing with white bg (bg is original bg of standard wm animation)

WHOAAA looking good
I'll test how it blends with the "X" icons (Start menu SE logo is currently blue)

It's much nicer than the previous ones, but I still don't like that globe. Just keep it simple to allow us to see the bars and type of connection, the globe is useless and doesn't belong here. Even greyed out, I don't think it will look good.
Also, maybe it would look better to use the same gray color for the battery until it is less than 40% (a little yellow exclamation mark can apper over the battery then) and below 20% (a red exclamation mark over the battery, or whatever sign you see fit). That way it will be less distracting.
Just my thoughts, I like the icons to be as simple as possible and not very colorful unless they really need to make you aware of something. You could make the notification icons red (missed call, task etc.).
Hope you get some good ideas.

Oh I do very much like these ones! I'll probably be using them on a regular basis once they're finalised.
Don't lose the bluetooth ""headphones" audio icon. People go "WOW!" when they see that one.

very nice, but it seems incomplete, liek some icons are missing for me, as stated with a previous tester. but its still nice nothenless. let me know when it coems out of beta, =]

I like most of the icons and it's nice to have some xperia-looking icons.
Although my opinion is that the one with the earth globe has to go it does not fit and looks well not good
also some of the icons seem to have something weird with the outline in the corners. The corners of the rounded square.
I can make a metal globe for you to fit the theme Or atleast try

my globe!
So I tried making a globe, took a few minutes and was quite fun..
If ppl like it I can continue adding what I have left out, reception indicator and data indicator.

Ok

The white background one is ok, but I don't see how it's different to the other white background bouncing one?
Personally I prefer the one made bysomeone else here that I included in my start/waiting SE mod that I attached in gtrabs other icon thread.
The black embossed style background that tightly hugs the waiting cursor certainly looks more like it belongs.
Along with a regedit of my "folder background" to a dark gray, everything looks much slicker.

gtrab,
i liked your 1.5 icon cab set. in this version, when data connection is not on, the antenae and the bars is showing and when the data connection is on, a red h pops up with the bars. can you modify or make changes that instead of a red h with the bars showing up, the globe pops with the bars up in place of the red h.
keep up the good work.

[28-Jul][TASKBAR]Customized Taskbar for WM6.5 [QVGA]

Hi guys,
I spend a lot of time looking for good moded taskbar for QVGA device, but in vain. There are plenty taskbars out there for VGA, but nothing that fits Polaris so that finally I decided to take Tsowen build 3 and adapt for QVGA as I found it best looking.
Credit goes to Tsowen and ppcgeeks.com
For more info how to modify taskbar look here or here
INSTALL:
1. first install sdkcerts cab if you don't have it yet.
2. install moded taskbar cab from link below.
3. reset device and enjoy
NOTES:
For Bluetooth icon to work first you must install phonecanvas and only then moded taskbar.

P.S. Keep in mind that these icons are 32x32 pixels, but QVGA taskbar is only 25 pixels high so windows will shrink these icons to 16x16 and there will be obvious quality loose.
Cheers, WhiteAlien

I want to have a taskbar which is more coloured and with nicer looking icons, maybe looking like one of this:

Kewel, looks very nice on pcarvalho's rom, thx!

On 3LIT3 VIII rom I don't have the Ok/Close button. It's just a big round white circle. In rest everything fits very well with qvga resolution. Great job.

If I'll have more free time I will make some more, but just so you know that this screenshoot is for VGA devices. The screen resolution is very high so icons look nice, but when you shrink them to QVGA size they become very ugly and looks like bunch of colored pixels. Taskbar height is only 25 pixels.

Agree, I had difficult time too in searching for nice taskbar for my POLARIS, only found the Arthemus taskbars suitable for qvga devices thus far. There are lots of vga taskbars around.
Thanks for your new taskbar, btw, does the battery icon show increment by 1%?
Cheers

I used some other Taskbars for qvga devices, but with every version, my phonepad to enter the phone-pin was not displayed right.
With this version, phonepad for entering pin is displayed like it should be.

Yes, it does.

This is awesome thanks for it and the time making it work for everyone!
Although i just noticed a slight bug, when you bring up the system status screen the battery reads 100% May well be my older build not making it work.

Hi I have installed your task bar, thanks for your time.
However I originally wanted to install tswowen qvga task bar and it worked fine but the phone-pin screen gets buttons messed. With yours does not happen. Do you know what happens to me? (I use pcarvalho 21820 rom for polaris, I posted the same question in his thread).

Hmm, did not really understood what you mean by phone-pin screen? These are just taskbars icons, normally nothing related to phone dial pad or pin screen.

Yes I mean the screen where you type the PIN for the sim card after a soft reset or flight mode, with the numbers 1 to nine and the clear and enter buttons. I have been reading other posts and in one of them read something about the icons of the pin screen being part of the htcvolume.dll so maybe in your cab is handled different than in originals qvga tsowen cabs??

Look in thhis thread post #7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475900

No, don't know anything about this problem. Maybe in his cab are more dlls related to pin pad layout or it installs something else besides taskbar. HTCVolumeControl.dll contains only 3 volume icons and it is optional dll.

Can you make a taskbar for polaris with the icons of the other taskbar post? They are still qvga and look very good. I used them in an older rom. But now in my WM6.5 ROM i can´t install them any more.
If you could change only the icons, then it should be no problem to install the taskbar. I can´t install the taskbar of the other thread because of a certificate error.

Can you install it? The new taskbar of this thread can be installed without any problems.

the only taskbar I have been able to install without messing up the buttons of the pin screen is the cab in the first post (just downloaded two / three days ago). The rest of cabs (qvga tsowen cabs in his thread) mess the buttons in my polaris.pcarvalho though they seem to work well (the taskbars).

Special thanks to mwalt2 for creating panoramic background mod
Please comment below with any issues or suggestions

Version 2 FULL VGA + Landscape - Nearly perfect version
Version 2.1 Icon Fix - corrects icon error (read known issues)
Change log:
- added landscape support !!!! (which the pictures just do not do justice, it looks gorgeous)
- overall optimized and fixed some errors - Theme is now incredibly polished
- improved image quality
- TF3D font now more readable
- Slider and Theme are now single CAB = Full Theme
**INSTALLATION**
1. Copy cab and install
2. An image will be placed on Device > My Documents. Using the settings tab in TF3D set this Image as wallpaper to enable Hero style clock
3. report any issues to help future development
Known issues:
Known issue #1
Lanscape will look like this if you enable the clock
will try to have a fix soon *** thanks to Aaron McCarthy for reporting the error and for the IMG
Known issue #2
**solved** Theme has trouble with manila 2.5 icons (see IMG below) -- if you have this problem download the "2.1 - no icons" cab below (2.0 must be uninstalled before 2.1 can be installed)
2.1 - no icons.cab is currently beta and may not work with all icon packs. also the email and messages icon in the contact card may not match when you select them
****DO NOT download 2.1 unless you have already tried 2.0 and got the icon error, 2.0 Full is still considered complete theme, 2.1 is the icon corrected version of 2.0 meant for people who get the error below***
NEW CLOCK HERE*** Special thanks to CR7KB24 for Creating the graphics*** - Save image and set as wallpaper in TF3D to enable
-Attached as "Hero Backdrop v2.zip" because i realized the link was converted to .jpg and had bad quality
[/COLOR]
Thanks to drdrewdown for IMG and reporting the error
Full WVGA Hero Theme BETA in Post 1

is it possible to make the clock a seperate cab?

actually its just the stock clock and a background image that matches the panoramic theme (look at the video) is used to make the box.
I'm trying to see if i can actually build the clock to look like that but so far no such luck as manila doesn't seem setup to handle that layout
Feel free to try it out, as stated above files are un-installable (so long as your not using a different theme already) and it creates a much more appealing and dynamic experience in touchflo than stock (plus its not as gloomy)

Thank you! And you can do the same but for WVGA?

Wow very nice. Thanks for the hard work

This is very nice! Thanks...
Is it possible to make landscape use the same wallpaper as the portrait mode?

WVGA Slider ported so far please test (this was the easier to port)
I'll see if i can put a test cab together for WVGA Panorama in the next few days, i don't have WVGA myself so i'm going to have to rely on testers

i dont believe you did this step...
2. an image will be placed in your "My Documents" folder on the device. using TF3D's settings tab set this as your background in touchflo (image is called wallpaper.png)
now on to my issue, i installed V2 cab for VGA & the slider does not show up how its pictured in the screenies. its simply a grey slider that does not show my tab icons. interesting. please check out my screenshot & let me know what i did wrong or how to correct the slider image

I actually noticed this today on a firends divice (he's helping me develop the WVGA backgrounds) I think the theme has trouble if you have the manila 2.5 icons.. it doesn't seem to replace them properly. i'll see if i can work up a fix
get back to you soon (for now i'm just going to list it as a known issue). you don't have to uninstall the theme as the fix will probably just be an addon cab

thank you sir, i will look forward to an update! or fix!

thanks for the update just saw that today i'll work on it.
in the mean time can you confirm the following with your device (this is what i saw on the test Xperia X1)
- Panning seemed to work perfectly, just when it stops on a tab the image drops down to only cover 1/2 the screen.
- and Landscape seems to be functioning perfectly.
WVGA is getting close

How can i get the icons? I installed the cab but i can not get the icons. I am getting them grey.

well done friend... here works perfect (dia duit rom) but the background image isn't show, of course I tried many times to load in
just a suggestion:: you should compress the png with pngcrush (freeware) with these parameters: pngcrush -d c:\temp -rem alla -brute *.png
even if the best thing should be compress as JPG trough jdo (another freeware)
doing so the BG picture will be less fatter & of course will take less ram
for example porting the png to jpg & compressing with jdo your bg file goes from 148kb to 47kb...

update posted, please download 2.1 from 2nd post

I just installed 2.1 but I'm still getting the solid gray slider. I'm currently running the latest EnergyROM Genesis on an AT&T Fuze. Other than that, this is a very solid theme. Thanks for your work.

This is the original one ... Dusk Theme from grzegorz10 and this is what you can downloading here.
Also i have done many changings in the theme, but the most is and will all the time the original one.
This is one part in the cooperation with grzegorz10. That will never be changed because i love
that theme and i can say i am slaved in this stuff
This thread is also started in cooperation with grzegorz10. His black DUSK theme for Evolution up to
version 4.0 is done and actually supported for many windows mobile phones with the default
and some 3rd party ROM's. Many different files are available but not all are working for the Touch Pro 2.
Because that and some new and original (HTC) roms for Sense 2.5 in the last few weeks it's time
to start a new thread specially for the Touch Pro 2..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here now some shots from my changings...
This all will be possible with different mod's and tweaks. All changings are done in cabs, so you can
uninstall the changings all the time, if you have some problems.
Changings: (Lucida Handwriting font, co0kies mod, clocks mod, ...)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
All files which you can download here are tested now on my phone (see signature). I was very
busy with all chaning and the whole is not finiseh yet, but i will give you the chance to use what
i have now and run with me into the new theme .
Dialer information:
The dialer is ready now and the last i have todo is test it one or two times on my main phone.
Then i will publish the download and some screenshots here. Because the vfhanings in the original
HTC rom there are two dll files noe for the dialer. The phcanImages.dll and the new one, the
phcanImages2.dll. The second one is not supported by default from Dusk Evolution, but now
everyone can use it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Furhter moddings you will find here in this threat or the original links to my Sense 2.1 thread, or
to the developers who have done also a really amazing work..
George's Dusk mod's (Main cab, Start icons, WMP, Resco Radio, ...)
Mike's Dusk mod's (Manila TV Player, Call History, Manila Today Page, Ageye apps, Program icons, Taskbar, ...)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

post this information and i will add this here in the 1st posting. Before you ask for help, please
write down your phone type, windows build, radio version and the manila version. So please give
me the needed information without any question about that from me. Otherwise there will be
no answer on your question.

More cab files will be posted over the easter weekend. Not all because it is my hobby. But my
greatest hobby are our childs and this will be fun this year with the easter rabbit.

Start Menu Icons
And this is the mod for the Start Menu Icons. Grzegorz10 has done here a very good job. For
the Touch Pro 2 i had some grafic issues, but these are solved with the cab file. I have tested
this on two TP2 phones. The first pictures shows the original tweak for the Dusk theme. The
second one shows the tweak for 4 columns for the start menu icons.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This comes from isangelous thread, he have given the name StartMenuGrid for the cab files.
He has done also a very good job. It was original for the HD2. But it is working very well on
the TP2 with the original HTC Sense 2.5. For this mod i have used the 4 column grid from
this post. With this tweak you can set 3, 4, 5 or 6 columns for the start menu.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
...

The Dialer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
And here it is .. the dialer for the original THC Sense 2.5 Rom. This is the version with the two dll files in the windows directory.
It was a very hard work to put all the grafics in the both dll's. Also i had to re-arange the most grafics. The original cab file do
not work on the new and original Touch Pro 2 Roms from HTC. But this is solved now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please give me some response after installing this cab file. It is tested (installation and functions) on two TP2's. I hope there
are no more grafic issues, but when you found one, please post it here in the thread. Not so much PM's please. My inbox is full
now and i have to read so many messages.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the installation you have to soft reset (restart) your phone. Also it is possible that windows gives two messages because
the both new dll's have to be register for the system. You have to answer with yes. Otherwise the dll's are not working and the
dailer will not working anymore. Windows (for which one is that a wonder) reacts sometimes really strange. On my both test
phones only one gives this message. And that was after the second test the same message.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. EDIT:
Because two little grafics issues in the 5th screenshot i have updated the dialer cab file. Also the version number is updated.
- Issuse (shadow behind the caller picture, right outside, pink in black)
- V1.0 (51 downloads) -> V1.1
- No need to update, normally you can't see it
...

4th - for future use ...

Skins for additional tabs (MTVP, CHT, MTP, ...)
This post is reserved for:
- Manila TV Player (MTVP)
- Call History Tab (CHT)
- Manila Today Page (MTP)
All these three additional tabs are tested now for 3 weeks on my phone without any problem.
All these three additional tabs will have the ported Dusk icons and view.
Some last work i have to do before i will publish this here. To be shure i have used the right
files i have to hard reset my phone tomorrow and install all things again.

Additional Desktop Tweaks and Mods !
- Co0kieMonster (Smaller HTC Menus - ExtraSmall)
- Co0kieMonster (Smaller HTC Menus - for Manila 2.5.20xx)
- Co0kieMonster (Co0kie's Home Tab - more then three links in the home tab - this is an monster application)
- thx1200 (BattLineSvc V2.1 - Battery Indicator Line in Title Bar)
- ZuinigeRijder (BattClock 1.9 - this app has an DP stamp - DP is Dutch Proved we say)

for that.
Thx to you and G for a great theme
Greetz.

Good Job
Hello mike2nl,
the new theme is looking good. I can not wait to have it. I use the standard theme now since I have the new rom version. But I would prefer the font from the old one.
Is it possible to change fonts?
