Can't change today theme & SIP on my Jasjar!!

I just bought my JJ two days ago and updated it to the latest ROM from clubimate.com. I have to admit that I'm very disappointted about it, it's unbelievable slow, too many bugs!! :evil:
I find that I can't change today theme other than those default themes included in the ROM, I can see the names of the themes I installed on Today setting, but when I chose it and tap OK, nothing happens, the theme will be still the "Windows Default"!, the other thing is I find that I can't change SIP either! When I open Note, or Pocket Work or anything need input, I can't choose any input method other than those default ones included in the ROM! If I chose any other SIP in the list, it'll change nothing, the one on the screen is still default Keyboard!
Is makes me think that Jasjar has locked itself from changing any default setting... Anyone experienced same story? Any solution for this?
Thanks for your help!

Hello all
I have the same problem, one year later.
I hope someone can help us. :wink:

the themes u r tring to use are all extended themes needing sbp pocket plus...
if you dont want to buy sbp pocket plus...but still want to use these themes...then a simple install and uninstall of sbp pocketplus trial version should do

Thank you. I'll try this later.
Just for information:
the theme I try to install is the famous expea2 .tsk file. In the instructions file, it's written that it is extended for SPB pocket plus.

Universal Silver / Black Phone Skin + Carrier's

I made silver phone skin for Universal.
The screenshot shows Japanese, but you will see English if you use English ROM.
Enjoy!!

Added Black one.
Again, the letters depends on your ROM or mui setting except for "Video".
Jun-08, 2006
I found some people wants carrier's.
You will see them on FTP/Upload/Universal/Phone Skins
You can the following phone skins:
Qtek 9000/i-Mate JasJar/Dopod 900: Qtek_Phone_Skin.cab
O2 Xda Exec: O2_Phone_Skin.cab
T-Mobile MDA Pro: T-Mobile_Phone_Skin.cab
Vodafone v1640: Vodafone_Phone_Skin.cab
Orange SPV M5000: Orange_Phone_Skin.cab
Again, the characters on buttons depand on your mui setting.
Enjoy!!

Uoloaded carrier's on this thread.

Very nice, but this has to be installed in the main memory to work, thus taking up our precious memory.

very nice , can you pm me how to make it :wink:
thanks

cktlcmd:
Yes, this cab file is too big just to change phone skin. It would be possible to use skin files in storage after changing registry.
I recommend cooking your own ROM with your own skin (or mine). (Of course, you cannot use carrier's in this case.
mwang:
There are many *.bmp files used for phone skin. I haven't perfectly found which bmp file is related to each button.
Only with this change, you cannot change "Video" button. The *.dll files (phcanlrc.dll & phcanprc.dll) have resources for "Video" button. You have to change it if you want to change "Video" button.
You will need to change resources of "phcanOverbmp.dll" if necessary.
As for registry, you will find many keys under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]

I have tryed to run one of the files on an Emulator and the Emulator HArd resetted itself. Have you got any idea ??? will that happen with the device also ? PLus does it really mean that you can get rid of the ugly t-mobile phone skin but keep the Video button ??

Churchill:
I've never run these skin files on emulator, but these worked fine on my Qtek-9000. I also can swich skins with these cab files. I have no idea why these skins shut off your emulator.
Regarding "Video" button, these are included in dll files in my cab file. You can modify or replace it to another one. It would be possible to use T-Mobile "Video" button only. (i.e. use Vodafone skin and replace dll to T-Mobile)
P.S. I don't think T-Mobile's is ugly but this is only a taste.

hard reset problem <Emulator
i guess OS on emulator didnt have 3G function.
so relative files of 3G function, such like follows confilict with its owns.
phcanprc.dll
phcanOverbmp.dll
phcanlrc.dll
phcanhtc.dll
phcanrc.dll
anyway, shugo's sikins are for the Phone with 3G,
should not use on Non-3G phone.

You might be right abou that Asukal
Thanx

Best phone skin so far??
I've seen this phone skin...I love it...
And I've used the search function on this site, but can only find it available for smaller screen HTC devices... ie; KJam :x It does not work on the Universal.
I'm no expert, but can someone explain to me how (in idiot's language please) I can recreate this skin for the Universal?
I can use Photoshop easy, so once I figure out how to extract the relevant gif files, I can alter the buttons quite easily....
If someone can explain it to me, I am willing to email / post the results back here...
Here's what the skin looks like...

"Wisbar Advance 2", you have to download from Wisbar website.
But you need to download the Theme from the web (done by somebody) it is call Pocket OsX.
http://members.chello.nl/ddelug/skin.htm
Be warn that Wisbar will slowdown the PPC a little bit.
I think the new dial pad from CrossBow Theme looks better.

how on earth do you change the keypad skin on a universal without going to registry all the time i thought its meant to chnage with the theme.
regards

I actually did registry edit almost manually.
First I copy the keypad related registry out into *.REG files. Keep this as a backup and make another copy to do a text edit and modified it manually. Basically the filenames are the same, I put the new skin in the extended rom, so I need only to change the texts "\Windows\" to "\ExtendedRom\Windows\". Afterwhich I copy the new *.REG back into the registry. Soft reset and NEW　ＤＩＡＬＰＡＤ ＳＫＩＮ.

Pocket MSN disabled on p3600 TIM branded!! looking for an hack to fix this

Hi all,
I've a p3600 tim branded and the problem is that if i do an hard reset and let customize the device via the files present in the extended rom, then pocke msn is disabled...if I do a hard reset and then a soft reset to stop customization when it starts, then the pocket msn is enabled.
is there a way to re-enable the pocket msn without this workaround cause i'd like to have the tim customization or at least the others customizations present in the extended rom?
Thank you in advance and excuse me for my bad english.
P.s.1
in the extended rom i have only 3 files .cab and a .txt, but when the customization starts it install more files .cab?!
P.s.2
I know that if i want i can crate a shortcut from \windows\instmsgr.exe to \windows\start menu and enable messenger, but what i need is to enable pocket msn and the today plugin

You can find under /windows the instmsgr.exe program that is ONLY the MSN messenger and not all the Pocket MSN suite.
Create a shortcut under \windows\start menu\ and it's all right!

Hi alexbard,
many thanks for your reply, but look at Ps2 point of my post, I already know what you suggest, my question is how to enable the entire suite of pocket msn with the today plugin....
any news from the board?
[email protected]

You may try Windows Live for WM5, though it is still a beta version, but it has both msn & messenger.

Hi,
Where can we find windows live messenger 2005?

Windows Live works not so well..... especially under wifi.
I found it looking at emu***le, browsing for live_messenger_wm.
No news until the new rom release, htc confirmed a few bugs in the TIM release.

This is the bad cab file!!
Hi there,
I'm playing with some registry entry trying to solve the problem...I'll post any news...
Here attached is the cab file that makes the TIM customizazions and disable Pocket MSN (be carefull to launch it on your non TIM branded device if you dont want to hard reset to re-enable pocket MSN), if someone can examine the cab to understand where this file makes the changes that disable PMSN is welcome, I'm not so smart :-(
The file is not present in the extended rom but in the \windows dir, probably is recalled by another file of the extended rom.
hope this help our needs..

I'll have a look at it.... stay tuned...

Had a look at that cab file, but there are not registry entries.
Maybe the MSN is disabled in another cab, or it's done from an executable.
I have a TIM branded P3600 and done a hard reset without letting the device install the extra software. Works fine and I don't miss any of the added features from TIM software customization...

sorry...

Hi vbi,
it's sure that PMSN is disabled by the cab I'have attached before...I made the following:
Hard reset
Reset before customizations starts...PMSN is enabled!! Then...
Under \windows tap on that cab and.... PMSN is disabled so, if there are not registry entry probably PMSN is disabled by an exe present on that cab like you say, also not all but some customizations like Alice mail and the settings for MMS and server exchange are miss..
Damn!

How to edit taskbar?

Hi all, I installed this app, and now the today has the iPhone look.
But when i'm in an application, the taskbar is the WM one, there's any way to change it with an iPhone-like one?
If not, how can remove or change the win logo?
Thanks

I'm not sure, if there's a way to edit the taskbar, that it looks like the iPhone one.
But you can try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441829

In older versions of windows mobile, I managed to extract the shellres dll and change the icons using a resource editor. I think I did it to make the OK button look better. On Wm6.1 I can't seem to copy the file at all and so can't make the changes.
If it were possible, this might be a good way to do it since it doesn't require an application to run and wouldn't use more memory.

In Windows folder there isn't any file called shellres.96.dll.0409.mui
I'm using WM 6.5beta, maybe that's the problem...
EDIT: it works :O Thanks!
If someone know how to edit the taskbar (not only the start icon), say something

Registry Editor

Hi everyone this is my first post and my first windows mobile. Loving it so far, no issues at all to report.
Just wondering what you guys recomend as the best way to editing registry settings? On my pc i just use regedit but i can't find this on the HD2? Am i just not looking in the right place?
Cheers all

Hi
I can recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584423 In this servicepack, you will find een regeditor.
After installation of this servicepack you will notice a huge improvent of our beloved HTC

cheers, i'll give it a go

Cheers for the reply.
Which of the download links do i need? They all look like European languages. I need the English version.
Is PHM reg editor any good?

You will need the WWE version, its in post 1. PNH is a good registry programm

Reg editors
Yes PHM is good,
but it is very dinky editing with it on the device.
I use CeRegEditor which is free from mdsoft.pl
This way I can edit the device from my pc desktop, much easier and more options.
