I have this wait cursor that i would like to be able to work on wm 6.5. Getting tired of looking at the rainbow wait cursor of 6.5 that reminds me of the circus. Anyone know how to edit the wait cursor i have attached to work on 6.5? I take no credit, the wait cursor was made by someone else. I love it since it matches my theme. Thanks!
P.S.
Its for my att fuze phone if that makes a difference.

Try using MWC3. Works a treat for me.

Thanks, didn't know a new version was out.
Hate the MWC3 WM6.5 Wait Cursor - very "chunky" - Original 6.5 is BEST, if you like M$ stuff
it's a 32 bit bitmap with alpha channel, u can specify number of frames etc in the registry, its stored in shellres.*.dll i believe, you can pull the frames out with a resource editor, make your own, re-inject
So , MWC didnt work for me, the program changes nothing. Can I just dump this file in whereever the original waitcursor is located (I suppose in /windows) and overwrite it ?
would appreciate a fast answer.........

Will you please give your experience with win 6.5 build 11.
My experience:
Positives: Very cool: More storage
Negatives: Frequent crashes especially upon installation of new programs. Like I installed new version of spb keyboard, it crashed altogether and I had to hard reset.
It is more slower than 6.1.
i thought it was it was a kewl upgrade until i tried it .............
Its much slower than 6.1 not just a little but much slower, looks great but some of the options in the settings menu were missing that i was looking for but all in all i prefer the 6.1 over 6.5....which i loaded back a few mins ago(6.1)....cant wait for 7 next yr to see what tht has to offer but im assuming Viva's processor might its work cut out for it lolololol

Thanks for your reply!
Yes I am also of the same opinion. How can I go back to original ROM? Because we have changed the hard spl. I shall be thankful.
well, for me, it works great, except it doesnt have windows live and onenote mobile, i had to download it (except onenote cos i dont need it) on my own... speed is okay, not as fast as wm6.1, startup is slow, the new lock screen, honeycomb and titanium is cool, but the panel for email and text is EXTREMLY BUGGY (they show a X sign and nothing else), album and touchflo 2d seems to respond faster, theres a few bugs but they dont really show up much, the new touch engine (or watever the thing is called for the touch scrolling) is great, but theres touchflo scrolling which makes it really annoying (btw, is there any way to remove the scrolling? i changed the registry but its still there)... but for me, its okay for everyday use...
P.S according to the ORIGINAL POST ON PDAVIET, its based on the iolite rom(i think) and i DONT recommend you guys to upgrade to v12 but wait for v13, so in the meantime, use the v11 rom...

i too am trying to find a way... too bad theres no solution yet to change to original spl...
guys, when you say go back to the original rom, do you mean the version with 6.1? all you have to do is flash your viva again but using the
HTC OPAL ROM 6.1 V05 - Build 21014.1.6.0 version you can find in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494083
That rom is from PhamQuang too
its quite good enough,.. but sending message always notify me delivery report, and get load.... , i cant unchecked the box..

thanks for the skin, finally a reason for me to upgrade from .14.
Hi Nottingham,
I know that your previous skins* on v0.14 work perfect.
I am gonna test it right now and give you feedback in a few days,
Congratulations for that awesome work,
Thanks

and beautiful Black one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431196
ps: your link to PocketCM points out the v0.14, but your wonderful skins are made for PCMK v0.23 here : http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboardnew.php
hi,
After more than 24h of test I can say that your skins work very well !
The Topaz is really nice : to me it's the best skin ever for PCMK.23
So, it's great on my Diamond and in my opinion you should post it at PocketCM in "Get Skins"
Keep up good work like that,
Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad that you like it.
I've been away for the weekend so I haven't been able to read it up until now. And I've fixed the link. Thank you!
hmm is there a colon character anywhere for int. english?
:
need this for web addresses. thanks
Sorry about that. ".," was supposed to turn into ":;" when activating "shift/caps" but I seem to have forgot about int in the international & french layout.
The issue is fixed and the downloads have been updated. Just download the new file and replace the old one. You might have to unload it and clear the "_cache" for it to change.
Sorry about that, and thank you for making me aware of it.
yeah I am seeing it now, thanks for the fix.
is there any way to get a german layout for PCM 0.23? I tried to edit the default layout but it does not work that good as I aspected it to do... Would be great if you may help!
Hi Nottingham,
I'm very sorry your skins are discontinued but is there still a way to download them?
I'm using the Black Diamond skin daily with PocketCM Keyboard 0.14, but never had the chance to try your 0.23 skins
Plus, it was playing very nicely with the Dark Diamond skin I made for PocketCM.
Cheers,
Hope to see you again.
Alex.
Sorry, lost all backups awhile ago. Now I'm exclusively on mac and text edit on os x don't save *.txt's in the same matter as notepad/wordpad on windows does. Which translates into "corrupted" files on the handset.
I've realized it's stupid to have a winmo phone without having a pc, so I won't be modding or tweaking anymore (and I doubt my next handset will be a smartphone).
It was just a small spare time hobby, so if I can't use simple tools in a simple matter, it's not worth the trouble to me.
Your PocketCM skin looks really nice, so I'm sure that you can create something much better than what I've done.
Good luck, and thank you.
I have a T-mobile Compact 5 (aka Topaz) running wm6.1. I understand that in the near future 6.5 will be made available. With this, will there be a new touchflow interface? I have seen screenshits of 6.5 and I cant say I'm over excited about it. I hope very much that TF is not discontinued on 6.5. Anyone knows?
regards
Personally I suspect it'll look like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igRAl0swRsI. I hope it does.
Each to his own ... can't say the new manila is doing much for me, as evidenced on latest custom roms. Just looks like clutter, especially on the home screen.

im with you there however theres a few improvements that i prefer over the original touchflo, such as the favorite contacts screen. I also like the landscape photo gallery however at the moment that still runs a little chunky for me
Thanks for your replies.
I look forward to it. The short cuts on the home screen will be a BIG help for the way I use my phone.
Cheers
I see many ROMS around based on this version of windows that has a huge bar on the bottom with the windows logo and a couple of buttons. I reckon this is a more recent version of windows than the one shipped with the HD2.
My question is the following: is it possible to have these newer versions of windows but to somehow change the bottom bar back to what it looked like in the original windows shipped with the phone?
It's not necessarily more recent, just a different branch of development. Build 21892(old user-interface) is about the same age as 23534(new user-interface). That said, it would seem that the new UI is the future, though. There are also some features that are only present in the 23xxx branch for now, like threaded e-mail.
If you want newer version of Windows Mobile but don't like the new look, avoid ROMs based on builds 23xxx, 24xxx and (if I'm not mistaken) 28xxx.

Yep, with the help of a theme you can change the bottom-bar style. One theme that changes the bottom-bar to the old look is "Livven SimpleGloss Black"-plain toolbar and softkeys: look for it here.
(Notice however that the theme doesn't change the height of the toolbar. I don't believe any theme can do this).
EDIT: I've attached the right cab, so you don't have to delve your way through all the variantions of the above mentioned theme.
that is very helpful! do you also know if it is possible to get rid of the windows icon? i have a windows hard key in my phone i don't think i need the soft key

Maybe someone has made such a theme, don't know. But I think that one can only hide the windows button. I think it isn't possible to reposition the right menu soft key.
BTW, why don't you stick to a WM 6.5 build rom if you hate the toolbar so much. For me the only advantage of WM 6.5.x is precisely the new toolbar. The other advantage of the new builds is threaded emails (but i don't use that)
I have heard that it's faster but i don't know how reliable that information was

O, it is faster. But for me faster on the HD2 is like seeing a real fast sportwagon passing by but then a little bit faster, or sitting in a real fast train that is going a bit harder. I hardly notice the speed-gain. But that's subjective.
Well, I dont know if this is the best place to put this but I´m desperate... I install one ROM and have the windows button at the bottom and also the menu button.. They are so big, i want to change to the originals one.. Can somebody help me or explain me??
thanks!
The new ROM you installed will be based on windows 6.5.3 (Which is the one with the bigger buttons at the bottom, and more finger friendly design.) Whereas the original one with the smaller softkeys was just 6.5, most ROMs come with two different builds, one with 6.5.3 and one with 6.5, so if you really want the smaller softkeys, just find the ROM with the 6.5 build and flash that instead.
Thanks man! I dont know why people like this buttons...
I try before but i think is impossible.. all the people use 6.5.3 build... but im going to continue looking!
Thanks again for the quick response!
