I know the Universal's pre installed themes seem to change depending on the ROM installed.
I've got the I-Mate ones, and the T-Mobile one, I don't suppose anyone is able to post the rest (Orange, O2 Etc.)?
I hope that someone uploads the Vodafone VPA IV VGA theme
I am still hoping to see the VPA IV Today Theme ....
Can you isntall these to the SD Card? If yes under what directory?
Thanks for compiling them.
It is also nice if you could post screen shots.
You can install it in the ExtROM if you have unlocked it with no problems, and the 9000's storage.
Some say that you can use the SD card but I haven't found away around this. I read somewhere that you place the themes in the My Documents folder inside the SD card and that you delete the ignore_my_docs file.
I did this, but I heven't found any such file to delete...
Anyone help?
Hi Mythozz,
Thanks. When you say install it to the extension ROM. Does it only install during a hard reset, thus installed only in the main memory?
After a hard reset the ExtendedROM is disappeared and you have to use buzz's tool to show it again. You still have all the programs you placed there before the h/r.
The ExtROM's capacity isn't measured in the total amount of storage memory of the 9000. It is shown as ExtendedROM and has 10MB's of memory. So for the time being I place there my themes, without having the main memory increasing in size
You can put the .tsk theme files directly into the top level of the Storage Card folder, do not put them in a subfolder.
These Themes will then show in Start>Settings>Today>Appearence.
If you have a large number of themes then your top level Storage Folder will become cluttered, but's it's OK if you only have 2 or 3 that you switch between and you want to save the main memory.

Is there anything more constructive you can offer in this thread? :roll:
Why don't you make or give us a theme as well?

Oh man, it was so simple! Thank you my friend... :lol:
I started with asking for the Vodafone theme and all we discuss is where you can put it!

heres the o2s universal theme
How do I find the Orange one? I have an M5000, although I've always used custom themes, I'm not even sure I've seen a specific Orange one?
heres another 1 i got with my exec.
i tried out the themes but the problem is that the layout of the icons don't match so where i get the small side panel with some extra funtions is covered with black background. are there any solution for this.
ps i found my theme in windows folder, by looking for the extention .tsk

i tried to do so but it gives me an error msg, i have imate jasjar and unlocked the extrom, but still.
any idea?....
Vodafone today theme.
Thanks for the VF theme.
One point to note about the o2 supplied themes, is that they don't work in true VGA (OzVGA) mode.
Hello : i got a jasjar rom 1.30.76 wwe radio 1.09.00 Extrom 1.30.164
Everythig is so slow...anserin a call , open a program , refreshing the screen....
Any help
Luis , thnks in advance.
I would try reflashing the ROM. Make sure you remove the SD card and SIM card (optional, but take it out anyway just in case) before you start flashing.
... but before your reflash, try a hard reset first. It might just be bloat from all the apps you got installed on it.
Do give us a list of the apps you've installed: we can find out which program is possibly causing trouble. :wink:
your device shouldnt be slow. we need a lot more details to assist. For example:
1. List of apps on device
2. List of apps on storage card
3. List apps showing on your today screen
4. Details of your startup directory
5. Details of what phone skin you are using
6. Did you install antivirus?
7. Have you disabled error reporting
8. Have you disabled automatic beam acceptance
There are many others, but these are a good start.
You need to help us to help you.

yes, most of the times, today plugins are the main culprits behind the slowdowns caused. A poorly programmed plugin can make a fast device crawl.
To the author, keep it to bare minimum.
Thnks to all.
I just have spb plus instaled,,,and not the today plugin...
so you have absolutely nothing else?
why spb without today plugin? the today bit isn't that slow, I find its all the add ins.
could you answer the rest of my questions pls eg:
what is in your startup folder? etc

Not really; the battery and storage meters can slow the system down quite badly too.
So this is a popular program for the Palm OS: NotifyMe! which basically is a little configurable application that would play a sound and/or vibrate if your SD card ejected.
I know a lot of people who "accidently" shoot their card out when pulling their device from a holster.
If it could have the features of "NotifyMe!" and be WM5 compatible it could be a very popular program.
TIA

Hi,
I saw your request 2 days ago, and I said why not! I checked the GUI of the NotifyMe application for Palm and I decided to make one for PPC.
Installation:
1) just unrar the file and copy the exe on your ppc (it may be installed on the sd card and launched from there, it works when sd card is removed, but don't select a music file from the sd card, no sound will be played of course):wink:
2) launch the exe. The first time it will install the config control panel applet and launch it.
3) just configure the notif application and start it.
Useful infos:
This program has been tested on my ppc (see signature), on WM2005 ppc emulators and WM2003SE emulators.
There is no builtin sounds as the one for the Palm, but it can play different music type files like midi, wave, mp3 and wma files.
The app has been UPXed, so it is very small.
The notification stops either by pushing on the stop button or by putting the sd card back into its slot.
Enjoy,
Cheers,
.Fred
ps.: feedback appreciated...
Here is the app and some screenshots:
Thanks .Fred!!! :wink:

Hey Man,
Still living ?!?! :lol:

Greetings,

Ha Ha Ha..
Yesssss , I am here.
Now I am using Blue Angel.
So I'm here these days.
But still have a look at Buzzdev.
Nice to meet you here.
:wink:
I've tried it.
It works.
If I choose "Show message and Vibrate and Play sound", it doesn't vibrate and play wav as I choose.
I choose Alarm1.wav which is in ROM.
It only pops up sound and shows message on the today screen, no vibration and no sound.
But if I choose "Show message and Play sound" or "Show message and vibrate",it works fine.
I use BA WM5 AKU3.2 ROM(Helmi 1.3.2)
Thanksss.

You're right Vivi, when I make the test, it works, but when it should be done by the app, it doesn't...
Ok I will investigate this!
Ok, it's done, stupid of me! :x
Version 1.1 is available now...
Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks again .Fred.
The new version works completly!!!

btw, just for info purposes:
- How would one remove the entry from the Settings tab to configure the program?
- I don't think this is working as it should on the Treo 700wx, but that is probably due to Palm's modifications of the OS. Basically, it only works when the device is powered on. If the device is in standby it doesn't "wakeup the device".

- it is possible, but tricky.
The control panel applet shown on the Settings/Personal Tab can be found in /windows/NotifyMeCpl.cpl. The trick would be to change the extension .cpl by .dll then open the notifyme.exe in an hex editor and replace notifymecpl.cpl by notifymecpl.dll.
To configure the program, you will need then to launch /windows/ctlpnl.exe notifymecpl.dll
I hope it's clear. :roll:
- I don't know how it works on a Treo, but I just use the standard notification api... On my ppc, whenever I pull the SD card out of its slot, the device wakes up... If you want I can try to add this functionality but I'm not sure if it will work. Maybe the program won't receive the notification that the sd card was retrieved.
Cheers,
.Fred
dotfred,
Actually, I just meant how to remove the control panel applet (my sentence was a bit garbled!) e.g. if I just wanted to remove the program from my device.
In that case, is it just a matter of deleting /windows/NotifyMeCpl.cpl ?
As far as the Treo, don't worry about it for now. Palm did lots of trickery (for the better actually) such as changing registry entries so most "tricks" don't work now.
Once the 750v comes out for you GSM users, I'm sure more about how the OS is orientaited and organized will come out. Then it might be easier for us to nail down the problem (I unforutnately don't know enough to be of much help!) :lol:
very sweet, however i just tried out the program and am having a small issue. after i ejected my SD card the alarm worked as it should, i turned it off and reinserted my SD card and now i have a new "Storage Card2" on my device all my programs are on "Storage Card2" instead of my original "Storage Card" can't rename the file either??? anybody with a suggestion would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
1. delete "Storage card"
2. rename "Storage Card2" to "Storage Card" on pdaphone, if it doesnt work, try to activesync with PC and rename it on pc
trying... trying...trying,,,
i cannot delete the folder it has the temp internet files and i get an error trying to delete it. same with rename???? all my programs are on the storage card so now nothing works URGHHHHH!!!!
any other suggestions?
thanks
i have the same problem few days ago, dont remember actually how i fix it.
1. try to fix it on pdaPhone
2. activesync with pc and fix it on pc
or try total commander..
http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm
if u still cant fix it, do a backup of your pdaphone and copy the backup file to your pc, then do a hardreset and try again

If you just want to remove thr program from the device, just delete the /windows/notifymecpl.cpl and delete the notifyme.exe whereever you put it on the pda.
If you want to clean the registry as well, delete the entries under
-HKCU/Software/FdcSoft/NotifyMe
-HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/NotifyMeCat
-HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/NotifyMeSound
Cheers,

Try using the memory card reader.
as there anyway i can speed up this process?
each thumbnail takes half sec.. i have 100s of photos
i formated my SD card 64k as per certain advise.. anymore tweaks pls?
hey, i used to have that issue, too. I had an old folder on my storage card with hundreds of files in it. i guess it was an old installation of tf3d on my memory card which i didnt use anymore. after deleting this folder, the media panel was ultra fast again ^^
maybe you have some kind of this on your mobile storage?

Just search for registry settings in WM6 and change the transfer rate (64k default) to 128 or as I have it, to 256 and see the pictures fly in!

where is the exact settlings?
Installed FroyoStone_Sense to my HD2. I've found that every time I switch back to WM by doing a soft reset a particular folder is damaged, forcing me to restore it. Should I be installing the Android folder to a clean, empty SD card? I was under the impression that I could just add the folder to my existing WM SD card.
Thanks in advance.
-Bob-
I don't know about other people but I install the droid folder onto a freshly formatted sd card to make sure. Many of the files on the droid folder will only be read by the WM OS system unless you hook into a PC.

That's what I've been doing, and I've used probably about 10 builds and have never had the problem you describe.
What folder is it?
I do have one question though, why do you 'soft reset'? Is the build your using always freezing up or is it to access some of the non-droid applications associated with WM?

Soft reset to go back to WM. Haven't gone beyond the most basic experimentation with the Android build. Need to get some work done occasionally.

It's the MarsWare folder in the Programs folder. I still use that app outside of HTC Sense. The folder has been corrupted each time I've rest to WM.

Hmmm, is the file that keeps getting corrupt a file that you need access to with the Android system or the WM system?
If you have two memory card then I would keep the WM files separate or try a new build, I have never had the problem myself, if you want my build then let me know.
Sounds strange. I assume Android doesn't use that folder for anything, so it shouldn't affect it.
How much space do you have left on your card?

If you hook up droid to the pc then it won't mess up your activesync but thats not what i'm saying.
The folder which keeps getting corrupted, is it stored on the SD Card in its own folder or is it being stored under the ANDROID folder in the SD Card?
The only other way around this apart from carrying two sd cards around with you is to get the DUAL-BOOT loader onto your phone so even if you reset you should have full access to all file and folders.

I don't know then mate. When you say you can restore the folder, does that mean you have a backup of it somewhere? If so, just rename the knackered one and restore the original again and maybe the knackered one will bear the brunt of the problem.
Not a fix, I know, but maybe a workround for now.

The files are only needed in WM. It's a weather program. Looks like I should buy another 16gb card for the Android.
I'm just starting with the Android thing, so ALL suggestions are appreciated. Where can I find your version?
Another question (since I have your attention ); the music player seems to interface perfectly with my WM installed music folder. I use a WM software package, Pocket Tunes, to sync playlists. Those playlists show up in the Android setup, which was amazing to me because they don't in the WM version. That left me with the impression that the Android system reads the WM format fine. Your thoughts?
Thanks again.

I believe that the pls format is universal, but I don't know for sure that Android will read it correctly. I guess the obvious answer would be to try it and find out.

The Android build seems to dominate over WM for a couple of things, the music thingy is new to me but for apps like facebook etc android seems to dominate and there is not much you can do about it. I think the dual-boot loader is your best option as each OS will have a separate part of the SD card to work from, this is a theory but im not too sure otherwise, anyone else got any ideas about a bootloader?
hey,
I had the same issue with weather panel running off "second home screen" app, using DDT theme, whenever I ran android then went back to weather panel the theme wouldn't display correctly, it appears to corrupt the themes folder.
however installing WP on the device memory sorted it, tho I don't use windows anymore so can't say if it was a permanent solution.
last thing if you think you will switch to android and want something with similar features (+extras), take a look at palmary weather it's a paid app (less than a shot of brandy)
can only buy from there sight tho.

I suspect a couple weeks with Android and I'll make it permanent. Right now I'm traveling, so I'm a bit less willing to drop my crutch (WM) right now.
I am also VERY impressed with all the help on this forum. It'll make the transition much less painful.
Thanks.
