Hi Fellow XDAers,
I have just got an MDA Compact (T mobile but unocked) but cannot find out how to change the telephone skin, even to windows standard. On my XDA2 I had this as an option, but win mobile 2003 second edition doesn't seem to have it. Can anyone help me find it or point me at a downlaod site?
Thanks

Skins for the phone
Try these nice app.
And see for yourself..
the first one contains two skins; exctract and copy-paste the folders into "Skin" folder after you install xdaskinchooservp.exe to your JAM
The guys did a fanatastic job, didn't they?
I've some at my site.
Using these on my Magician device too.
Cheers
Candy red phone skin is superb, thanks

Many thanks
Richard Racer
sorry guys, but dont u have a problem with original skin? i mean when i press number button i can see original skin of the button instead of installed. am i the only one? thanx in advance
The depressed button always reverts to the default. This is held in a dll file called tapres.dll. The software does not modify the dll so the pressed button will always appear as default.
Cheerio
Howard
thanx. actually i've already changed dll in registry from oroginal to one, i downloaded from the second post's skin. but one more question. i have i-mate jam with 12 firmware. i cant change place on the skin where the number appears. it is still white as in original skin. anyone knows what can i do to change it? thanx
Hi so I got hold of this old HTC 8125 yesterday I was able to downgrade then upgrade to WM6. However the screen alignment is a big problem. I have found a program called Mobile Remote Alignment that can backup/restore/skip the alignment process. I was wondering if anyone is willing to backup their alignment and attach it on here so I and other users can restore it to our HTC.
Thanks
The program can be found on this website:

Here is the direct link:

Self Explanatory program but here is the Manual:

Here is the align screen file for my 8125:

Thanks, looks good........but my calculator keys are not as yours..they travel inward as if you drew them with a horizon point 110mm towards the top.....like looking down an airport runway

Like this ?
If yes, this one is original SPB black skin ...
You must read first post ! ...
1 : Install CAB in main memory.
2 : With "total commander" copy "diamond calculator skin" files (spbcalc_P & spbcalc_L) in windows folder.
3 : Enjoy DIAMOND Calculator Skin !
Thanks Lord Ghost
Thanks....I have found the problem
I followed your advice and reloaded your files...new download.
removed previous version and graphics
reloaded and reinstalled
graphic remained the same [wrong]
re saved the new graphic again....still the same [wrong]
soft reset made no differance
restarted calculator again and graphic was as before [wrong]
turned to landscape...Graphic was corect
turned back to portrait....graphic is now corect..
Windows must somehow cache the graphic and does not re cache until you turn the diamond to another position and then back....soft reset made no differance.
Working fantastic now...thanks from all of us.
Thanks..tested the theory
Thanks again Lord Ghost,
I tested me theory by altering your excellant graphic [and thanks for your hard and excellant work] by lightening the black so as to make it slightly better visable on the diamond.
copied them accross and yes your original graphic [cached] is there...rotated and the new graphic switches in....mystery.
Have included your graphic [you deserve the praise] with my slight allteration in contrast etc.
If you want to use...copy extracted graphics to Diamond's windows [replacing original graphics] start calculator...old graphic will be there...rotate...new graphics will click in.
Again many thanks
Hi, I've tried this on and nice work. Thank you.
However, when I uninstalled the cab file, then the calculator no longer exists?
has anybody got the same problem?
Nice work!
I have reskinned this calculator a lot to many different themes (QVGA), and was planning on a VGA version... No need anymore!
One thing though, your dot-key is one pixel off (to the left).

What do you mean by uninstalling the cab-file? If you don't want to store the cab-file after installing, just delete it. If you use "remove programs" however, you will uninstall the program itself.
If you are missing the original calculator after uninstalling this version, you are right. The installing of this version overwrites the original files. They are not back-upped somewhere, so the will be gone. You have to find a installer-cab for the original files somewhere.
Skin updated !
V2 is available.
See first post and reload.
Thanx and enjoy !
WELL DONE........
HTC Diamond Calulator Skin
Hi, Noobie here ..
I still have the same "airport runway effect " desipte remove and reload .
a) Have use Resco to copy the gif files from internal memory to /mydevices/windows.
b) Also try rotating the Cal from landscape to portrait .
Despite this .. The airport effect remains .. Wonder if the key here is using TOtal Commander or Resco ?
Can anyone throw a light and advise a poor new noobie here ?

Not sure ...
a) I transfer from PC to internal memory, 3 files , the gif files and cab file.
b) Then I install from internal memory which gives you an option whethre to install into main or internal; which i selected main ...
Earlier post states , main memory ... wonder if that got to do with the transfer ? which is highly not possible ... otherwise Cal will not even work at all .
I really wonder why ?
DO you any possible conflicts with tweaks ? Just got my Diamond few days back ...
Sigh !
Since it is written in main.. guess , I may need a hard reset .. if I cannot find .. start all over again !
Thanks much better than the original one
Hello
before i installed a (dark phone pad skin) or somthing and replaced with the original Diamond phone pad .. now when i decided to get to the original i removed the (dark phone pad) and it removed the (dark pad) and the (original diamond pad)... like when i recieve a call it comes with a classic shape of windows .. no green and red button ( answer - ignore ) when i tried to solve this problem i found in this great forum a cab with the original manila theme .. i installed it and everything came back as it is .. only when my diamond starts and the PIN Code rquirement show up it looks like the HTC Touch phone pad !! and its not the one was before .. i want it like the one before
any help!!
try installing video telephony again. it gave me back my phone skin and icons when i had problems. i tried uploading it to my post but no luck, you can find it on post 2 of swtos' rom thread. try it and if it works let us know. im not guarateeing anything or i could be completely wrong, but if it bothers you, its worth a try.
that didnt help .. im kinda new at this so could u tell me what to do clearly
If all else fails...
Hey man, if all else fails just do a hard reset. That way you'll have a brand spanking original rom, without all the clutter. In my opinion the only way you'll learn is by messing about with your phone (logically of course), and yep you'll probably have to hard reset et al a good few time! Just make sure you READ all the how to guides in the forum and make backups.
Hallo,
I need a little bit help.
I had a very special older software, it runs good on the HTC HD mini. At this software are some drop-down buttons for time and date. If I click on one, then I get windows with a calender or a time-window, but the windows are to big and so I can´t tab all buttons.
Is there any possibility to get the windows smaller and tab all buttons. I think it´s a special problem of the HD mini with the smaller display.
I hope anyone has a solution.
best regards michael
hello
whats the name of the program?maybe it will be possible to edit the skin,layout,buttons and stuff..
one more thing..next time post in the right forum category......
you need the source of this application and without that , it's impossible to calibrate any details of this software to HVGA resolution.
so you have to find the main source of software ! or find that developer who programmed this sofware and ask him to fix this problem for HVGA.
