[Q] Registry Entries for Wallpaper - Windows Mobile

Hi all dear friends .
I have 2 questions
1- How change Wallpaper for ROM Before Release ?!
2- How do I sort programs in Start menu ?!
Sorry if my English language was bad .

Did you mean sense wall or windows standard wall?
For start menu sorting the reg keys are:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\youre program.lnk]
"ItemPosition"=dword:5 (<-example)

This is the registry entry to set the wallpaper:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeBackgroundPath"="??????"
You can add this into your kitchen somewhere and make sure "HomeBackgroundPath" points to the correct location of the pic you want to use. If you're having issues getting this regedit to stick you can make a .cab or an xml to run at boot up with these regedits in it.
If you're using CHT, then it's:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CHT.Wall.HomePortrait"="???"
"CHT.Wall.AllLandscape"="???"
"CHT.Wall.AllPortrait"="???"
"CHT.Wall.HomeLandscape"="???"
You can either adjust the app.reg of your CHT package or edit the CHT cab itself, if you cook it that way.

Oh, and also if you want to edit the wallpaper of the overall theme, like the start menu wallpaper, you have to edit the .tsk of your theme. Replace the stwater_480_800.jpg and the stwater_800_480.jpg with your own pics (one for landscape and one for portrait). My device (TP2) is 480x800 WVGA. If yours is different then the names of the stwater pics will be different. For example, a VGA device's stwater .jpgs would be stwater_480_640 and stwater_640_480 since VGA res. is 480x640.
I believe any program that can open up and edit cabs can also open up and edit .tsks.

@Op
Can you please change thread title to more specific?
Imagine everyone opens a thread with a title
'I have some question'
Do you think it will be easy to find for others and you what they are looking for?
Edit,
I also like to suggest to read the forum rules and have a look in the
stickies because the questions you are asking are answered before.

@Op,
I'm closing this thread to avoid forum clutter.
Sorry but I gave you plenty of time to change thread title.
If you disagree please contact me in pm and we can talk about reopening.
* Mod EDIT *
hilaireg: changed thread title.

HELP ! Changing WM5 wallpaper by program/script

Thread Closed: Changing WM5 wallpaper by program/script
I have a simple need to switch the wallpaper from a scipt. I have searched here and other forums but can not find any simple method to change the wallpaper, I have looked in the registry and can see a mention of tdywater etc. but can't find the files in my Universal. Does anyone know of a thread that explains exactly how to do this or a program that can do it with command line paramters.

New Ideas for S2U2 Settings....

I would just like to start this thread to post some idea's I have that I think need to be included in a future release of the Settings app for S2U2.
1. Ability to choose any wallpaper on the device. (JPG/GIF) Not be just stuck to having to copy/paste into the GFX directory, as the filename of wallpaper.gif or wallpaper.jpg.
-FIXED: Use Slide2View posted here to change the wallpaper easily enough. I've known about the registry edit, but wanted a more streamlined solution. Guess this is it!
2. Have theme type files. Kinda like the tsk files for the today screen.
Few more I'll post later as I think of them.... Just post more ideas!!
theme
How bout if you can to themes like pocketcm does it and you can change themes like pocketcm.
lennysh ur suggestion works since forever, you have to edit the path in the resgistry. i dont remember where exactly, that way u can run the wallpapers from SD..

Hey lennysh, you should check out S2V (Slide2View) also by A_C. This is a cool picture viewer and one of the options is to make the currently viewed picture the wallpaper for S2U2!
I created a folder under My Pictures called Wallpapers. I put all my jpg and gifs (even animated gifs) in that folder. I can then browse those pics with S2V, and select one to be my wallpaper for S2U2. Very cool!
Hope that helps.
I think S2V should eventually be built into the S2U2 settings program.
An option I would like to see is password protected unlocking so that after you slide a dialpad shows up and you have to enter the password to unlock the phone.
an exclusion feature would be great because it's a bit disturbing while playing games..

there is an exclusion feature but it's accessed via a registry edit. go HKCU/software/A_C and there is a bunch of reg keys that start with "Exclusion1, Exclusion2, ....
Just add the name of the EXE that you want to exclude.
It would be nice if this was added to s2u2 settings via the gui but for now it works.
icon on screensaver?
First, Awesome app.
Now, when I launch S2U2 it works fantastic, but, there is a little icon that resembles a text document with a check on it and a number seven in a red circle just below it??? this is located just above the right corner of the unlock slide. Any thoughts?
just turn off task count in s2u2 settings
S2U2 and it's counter part S2V are both fabulous apps as far as single apps go. Yes S2U2 requires a regedit to use the directory of your choice unless you also install S2V..which begs the question...why?? I think they are both great apps but I am not sure I see the point of two separate apps when you need one to do something specific like choose the directory to use for pics.
So..what I would like to see is a merge of the two or make them two separate programs entirely. On that note, it would be nice to see a few of these great developers merge several of their apps into one nice compilation. There are obviously several "popular" apps that all perform entirely different functions. A compilation of these "popular" apps would make for a rather nice experience. And when I say compilation, I don't mean a .cab that includes these apps together, I mean one united program with all the functions streamlined and working together. Something like a mix of S2U2, Pictureflow, PocketCM and what ever all bundled seamlessly into ...say...a PointUI app or something along those lines.
guap,
where is the task count located?

it's somewhere in the s2u2 settings, set it to "off". otherwise, you may try to mark your "unread messages" in your inbox to "read messages", so the task count won't appear.. hope this helps.
thanks
I want S2U2 to be PointUI-ized.
It would be great if S2U2 could have an owner info on the start screen. Maybe an icon (similar to the weather icons) or as a small text below the slider.
Awesome apps, but the only problem faced by me in my iMate JAQ is changing the orientation of the setting screen. As directed I have changed to path clock to clockH, but it still doesn't work. Any help there?????????????
Slide2View is nice. I have both S2U2 0.98 and Slide2View in the same CAB file, with the additional clocks included. If anybody would like a copy, just let me know. I will also try and include some more stuff if I find some. It is set to use the HTC theme in S2U2.
Got it! Thanks for the info....I kinda hate to admit it but I did not know that the options was a scrollable page. After that I found it no problem. What a great app!!!
If not too much
s2u2 is a very great application.
if not too much..can he include a preview button in the next s2u2 setting? ok, maybe i'm too lazy too save and exit the setting before i can see the outcome of it. but it could be a nice add on in the next release.
thanks to A_C!
Hello Friends
One more time sorry for my english
My pourpose is the next one: When you close S2U2, it appears a window with message " S2U2 are closed", and a ok button to close it.
It's posible that the window disapear automatically after few seconds?.
Thanks.
The ability to either key in a simple pin or a strong alphanumeric password when you slide to unlock.
Invoking the WM6 one is messy/untidy.
Also create a Today plugin for S2U2 so you can invoke the lock directly off the Today screen.

[REQ] Remove Calendar and Call History

Hi! I try to search for this but i find nothing.
So finally, how can be remove calendar and call history from Home tab?

Thanks a lot!

it's no possibile with a digital clock?
I try to install this cab, clock appear at center of the home tab, but the background in others tab is now black with a white square a corner!
now i must restore my last backup...
no other ideas?
I have been asking for this for so long and noone has come up with a solution.
from what i understand it can be done with any clock analogue or digital, personally i dont even want the time on my home screen - Please See Here​- please can anyone help with this cab?
7e640092_manila if edited in notepad can remove different elements from the home screen, but for some reason my device has a non-english one and i cant understand what it says.
also for those wanting to get the file so you can have a look, the only way i managed to get the file off my device was to changing my computers folder view settings to show "all hidden system files" and "Show all protected operating system files" then to connect through active sync, and search the windows dir on my device (which took F'in ages!! so be warned if you try!!!) using windows explorer, and then copying it to desktop.
I have tryed the analogue clock approach HERE found i had the problems shown by the screenshots and posted for help 7 or 8 times.
it seems people wont help at all when it comes to this!!
i hope the info i provided gets a solution for this irritating problem​
No clock / call hist / cal
Well, the easiest way i could think of, if u do not want to have the call hist/cal/clock on the Today screen, is to dl any analog clock, extract the manila files, replace the clock images with transparent ones using Manila Editor, and finally copying all those files to the windows folder in ure device.
However, if u want a digital clock w/o those 2 tabs, there is a post right below by Elvelynn here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2861270#post2861270
Hope dat helps.
Edit: To MysticGenius, perhaps u could try dling a different clock and install the cab file that removes curtains by NisseDILLIGAF, to fix the problems u encountered, cos from my experience, installing analog clocks does not change the size of my operator text.

yikes, it seems u kinda misunderstood wat the cab file does. All it does is remove the white dotted lines between the call history & calendar texts. dats y she posted further instructions to remove the remaining call hist / calendar icons & text.
Anyway, just found out dat on the next page lies the "clean_startseite_custom.cab" file, courtesy of Elvelynn, which shd clean up the home screen, and if u have installed the "clean_startseite_tf3d.cab", be sure to uninstall dat first b4 installing this cab. of course, theres no guarantees it will work on ure device, so a backup might come in handy for some folks

according to the author of the cab file, it does wat the instructions say in the first link i posted here, i.e. it removes the dotted lines & the call hist / calendar icons and text, and the clock background becomes transparent. it also seems dat if u use the default WinMo alarm clock, the alarm time will still be displayed in ure home screen.
u could just backup ure 1bbfdc9b, 7e640092, 4820c63b, 6aec5f68 and 74ddfccb manila files, which is wat this cab file replaces.
the Keys in xml files should be
IDS_NOAPPOINTMENTS
IDS_CALENDAR
IDS_NOMISSEDCALL
But for italian language there isn't a manila file that have these keys...
nobody find solutions?
I'm near to solution
in file 1c684cd8_manila you can change the font color (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2749452#post2749452) and I try to modify in this file the font size!
I find:
- " F o n t S i z e  "GJ $ " for the size of Call registry and calendar
- " S i z e  "GJ p " for the space where texts are..
But if you go in hex (for font size) and change 24 to 00 the tf3d don't start...
If you set it to 01 you see only a simple line, but the space of selection stay there and i don't find a solution to remove it, changing the number of hex in S i z e nothing happen...

Skins FAQ/request/comments for Nitrogen 0.3+

This page is intended for the questions concerning skin development and installation, skin requests and comments from the skins page.
If you designed a skin for Nitrogen 0.3+, post it on the skins page!
Click here to go to Nitrogen official thread!​
This page will contain any questions, skin requests, comments and thanks to the skins posted on the skins page. Before you ask, make sure your question isn't already answered on the FAQ. If you want to be a skin designer, download the Skin Toolbox and create your own skins!
FAQ
General skin questions
:: How do I install skins?
:: :: After you downloaded your desired skin, uncompress the ZIP file and copy the SK2 file to the "skins" directory inside the application's folder on your device (e.g. "\Program Files\Nitrogen\skins"). After that, you may run the player and use the skin selector to load the skin file.
:: Are the skins from 0.3 compatible with 1.0?
:: :: Yes, they are! The new version (1.0) uses the same skin file structure as 0.3. Anyway, it's recommended to download the new skin toolbox (1.0.1) which includes the new icons that are used by 1.0.
:: Are the skins from 0.2.1 compatible with 0.3?
:: :: No, they aren't. The new skin files (SK2) allow more advanced behaviours and extensions that the old ones (SKN) didn't. So, if your favorite skin for 0.2.1 isn't available for 0.3, you can either be patient and wait for the author to upgrade, or you can get the bitmaps and upgrade it yourself.
Skin development
:: What's the difference between SKPROJ and SK2 files?
:: :: You can understand SKPROJ as the source of the skin file. These file extensions are handled by the Skin Studio (skstudio.exe), and contain uncompressed, 24-bit bitmap pictures (that's why they're large). The SK2 files contain 16-bit pictures, which passed by a Floyd-Steinberd dithering to assure quality, and are ready to be read by Nitrogen. To convert (I'd say compile, as you can consider SKPROJ the source and SK2 the binary) from SKPROJ to SK2 you use the Skin Export (skexport.exe) tool. For this, you can either click on "Export SK2 file" from the Skin Studio or execute the Skin Export directly.
:: Why can't Skin Studio load SK2 files?
:: :: That's because the SK2 file has already been sliced, compressed and dithered by the Skin Exporter. Also, the file structure of both files are different. If you want to edit a skin file, you have to acquire the SKPROJ file, either downloading on the skins page if available or asking the author.

Hi!
Skin Toolbox is made of two main programs: the Skin Studio (skstudio.exe) and the Skin Exporter (skexport.exe). On the Skin Studio, you can design every aspect of your skin, placing the buttons where you want them to be and so on. This program loads and saves SKPROJ files, that are bigger than the SK2 files (which are read by Nitrogen). To convert from SKPROJ to SK2, you can use the Skin Exporter. This utility allows you to create a ZIP file containing the source skin file (SKPROJ), the compiled skin file (SK2) and a screenshot. It means that it generates a ZIP file ready to be posted here on XDA. Concerning the new way to create skins, now you simply add four images, with the size of the screen resolution. They're called backgrounds. On the normal background, you load a screen in which the buttons are unpressed and the trackbars are empty. On the hotspot background, you load a screen in which the buttons are pressed and the trackbars are full. The (toggle) state of the backgrounds are for buttons that support it (such as Shuffle, Repeat, Play/Pause, and now the Next and Previous). Anyway, I'll provide a more detailed tutorial soon, and by now you can download the attachment and explore the SKPROJ files.
Thanks, Filipe.
Cool. Very interesting. I'll try.
Thanks
I'm now attempting to make a simple WVGA skin, just figuring out the basics of the skinstudio. The example you posted is very handy, maybe you should think about including it in the skinstudio zip, so people won't have to figure out everything on their own .
Great work on 0.3 by the way .
Excellent work on the new version. I've had some problems with the default VGA skin for WM6, it doesn't seem to respond to Play/Pause and some other buttons. I think it's the skin because I can get to all other functions using the options menu and play/pause using the hard keys on my Diamond. I'll have a play around with the skins editor to see if I can spot anything.
Oh yeah almost forgot, THANKS
Sorry to sound stupid here but is there an option to set the size of the canvas for VGA? I have looked all over and can't see it. The last version had the options when you click New. Are you supposed to just add things in and let it make the size out of the images you put in if you are creating from scratch?
I tried your example and simply exported it and applied on my device but it is QVGA (interestingly the play/pause works on this one but not on the default VGA). Is there a way to import the default VGA skin so I can modify it?
I guess you're probably working on a FAQ that will answer these so I'll just wait until it comes out.
EDIT: Just noticed you've fixed the play/pause and previous/next buttons now in 0.3.1 for VGA. Excellent thanks

Hi!
As I don't have a VGA device, I couldn't entirely test the skin, so I forgot to assign the buttons for play/pause and the other buttons . The latest release (0.3.1) that came a few hours after 0.3, fixes this.
I'm sorry I missed that.

Hi!
The skin studio picks the size of the background image and sets it as the screen resolution. I'm planning to provide a table with the resolutions and the matching background size (e.g. QVGA is 240x268, VGA is 480x536 and so on, because of the space left for the softkeys and the window title).
Thanks, Filipe.
Okay so I've pretty much finished my WVGA skin, would you be able to post the project file for the default VGA skin as the QVGA project contains smaller icons (for the browser). Also I seem to be unable to return to the main window after opening the media browser, only thing I could do was restart the program. Will post it up as soon as I've got the bigger icons .

Seconded for the project file for VGA, would be really useful as I probably won't create from scratch, just move things around from Microfi's (if he doesn't mind).

Hi! You can't return to the player because your HTC X-Button is set to close the application (that's something I have to figure out...). The VGA skin project is attached below. If you wish to copy all the icons at once, use the "Export icons" and "Import icons" option on the Skin Studio.

Hi! Of course I don't mind! Feel free to edit any skins. I'll encourage the skin posters to post the SKPROJ file along so that others can edit them!
By the way, I'll send the original pictures (PNG files from Fireworks), if you want more advanced edits.
Thanks, Filipe.

It happens when your HTC X-Button is set to close. As yours is set to minimize, Nitrogen works properly.

Ah all right, found a way to get back to the main window, if you open Nitrogen using the start menu and then open the browser, I can get back by opening the program again (while it's still running) via the start menu. A simple solution would probably be to add a back link in one of the context menus in the browser.
The skin studio is a really great piece of software, it's relatively easy and seems very open for newer versions of Nitrogen (which will include new features of course). There's just one thing that bugs me, not a biggy tho, you can't rename items, haha, would be handy for typos, but then again, not many people will see a typo in the project file..

Hi!
You can download the VGA sample, and change the backgrounds dimensions to 480x696 pixels. This way, your skin will fit WVGA devices. You can take a look on the tutorial too (link on the first topic). It's quite incomplete, but it's already covering the start. If you have any further questions, just ask!
Thanks, Filipe.
please, i need a 320x320 skin... for samsung i780
Hey Filipe,
Per your request, I will post my comment here as you have asked. I want you to know that I appreciate your hard work. I am a programmer too and realize how much time a "non paying" project takes. I was NOT trying to screw up your skins posts. I had simply thought that since the post containg the skin which (at the time) I thought was defective was in the other thread, it would make the most sense to post there and give someone the chance to correct it. It would have stopped there (for me at least) if the other gentlemen would have simply posted that you had requested all comments here. I only replied back to let him know (since he only had a few posts to his name) that that kind of conduct would be considered rude and that simply posting a link to this thread (like you did) would have been a better choice of tactics.
I will restate my potential bug here for you. When switching skins from the default QVGA one that comes with .31 to one of the WQVGA ones in the other thread, I noticed that the option menu does not get lengthened correctly. To fix it, you just have to exit and bring back up nitrogen and the menu then displays correctly. Probably just need to add a refresh to the options menu. Keep up the good work.

Extra Favorite Icons! [Programs] [Manila/Sense]

Hi everyone, I've recently figured out how to get more of the "+" icons [You know, the ones in Manila/Sense in the Programs menu]. I am working on making a .CAB with the registry changes, however I just wanted to make sure my time is not wasted - I checked the forums decently, not extensively, so please could some of the veteran members please tell me if this has already been done and my workk would be useless.
I'll make a brief tutorial or How-To if this has not been discussed before, and what you need to get more "Favorite" tabs. [I'm at 60 from 30]
Just let me know! Thanks!
~~Bradley
Yes, one request is enough
Before I give you thee code, please note that if you don't wait foor my cab [assuming I have any clue what I'm doing] this will be time consuming. I'm working right now, so I can only give you brief hhow-to for now, but I will update it to a full version later.
Go into your favorite registry editor [I suggest PHM Reg Edit]
The registry file is
[HKLM = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]
HKLM ---> SOFTWARE ---> HTC ---> Manila ---> ---> Program Launcher
Or the direct place is just
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
Once there, you should have keys number 0-29 [30 total]
Just make new keys [I suggest starting at 30 and working your way up] and once you make those, you need to copy/paste the string values
"DispName"
and the value
"Path"
You need to paste these into EVERY new key you make. Also, while you're editing this, go into the key value of ProgramLauncher and change the "totalItemCount" [Only Dword i nthe list, down at the bottom] to something higher than 30, whatever total number of icons you're going to make.
Once you have copy/pasted all of the appropriate values to your new keys, you must be advised that pressing the "+" button on your new icons will NOT work, you have to do them manually. This is where I suggest you download mymobiler [http://www.mymobiler.com/] it will make the addition of programs much faster.
Anyway, what you need to do is edit the paths to the programs you want using this code in the value box.
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\.lnk
Whatever program you want there [Say Pocket Uno] you just put between the last \ and .lnk. It will look like this
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Pocket Uno.lnk [You have to do the spaces - Exactly how it appears on your programs list]
Now, that will link it to your Pocket Uno Game, but it won't let you play it till you add a display name. I changed mine from Pocket Uno to just Uno for the heck of it. Anywho, it won't link it untill you have SOME display name.
I'm sorry I didn't explain it better, but I must be on my way for now, will do a full walkthrough later.
I would like to see this. thanks
There you go, I apologize for the lack of coherency.. Will proof what I've written and overall rewrite it later.. I'll answer any questions y'all may have. Just ask!

this sounds just like my extended startmenu with 48 icons and 4 in a row (Touch X program tab 4 row 48 slots.cab)
for manila 2.1 with weather (sense 2.1) found in this thread
Please correct me if im wrong! and the + will work to add apps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4802028&postcount=2
Now, you correct me if I'm wrong!
Yours is an alternative to manila, with the exception of Touch X Restore Sense 1.0 manila cab, which I'm quite honestly not sure what it does.. at all, it just says you "can now customize the **** out of it!"
What my registry edits do is simply add to the number of favorites already there..
Now, you answer Because I have no idea what your item does!
smaberg is correct.
If you want to just add the programs with the + without having to deal with creating shortcuts, and doing all the registry stuff, just install the first cab (Extended Startmenu) from the link posted - it's great!
Edit: You can then also apply a reg fix for 64 icons as per the link below (sorry, not sure how to display the link in a shortened form)

If thats true then, good work I just got my first winmo phone about 2 1/2 weeks ago! So good work, this can just serve for someone who wants to do it the old fashion way, I try to do reg edits instead of cabs when I can.. just for the heck of it
Thanks guys!
