Vista Portable Theme

Hi, guys!
Where can I download Vista Portable Theme?

Sorry mate but i dont think its avalable anymore as "Removed on request of the Microsoft Corporation" has been posted on the developers forum, if you google it you might find an old link somewhere

Just done a quick search, no luck so far. Hope you can find it; looks a great theme.
If you do find it please let us know.
Cheers
WB

Notes: Written by Vico100
This is all my own work which i have decided to share, I did not copy anything from anyone, and this includes the skin and the animated wait curser. I made this in late November to early December of 2007.
I would like to thank corleno for his Vista Pocket 2 which gave me the inspiration/ideas that made me create this skin. I am not competing in anyway against corleno/anyones skin.
I also have made a Resco Explorer 2007 Today skin (as seen in the screenshot).
For the SD/CF images I would like to thank ~nukeypearce of deviantART
For the battery images I would like to thank Stephane Turpin (sturp) of Adium Xtras

Avast report the file also as a virus

I can download it without problems from my own server.
I'm running AVIRA virusscanner. Does the message come up when you try to download it or when you scan the archive?
wacky.banana, what virusscanner are you using?
[EDIT] I uploaded the file to an online virus checker, and this is the result.
AVAST is the only scanner that reports this virus.
When I check google for this virus, I can't almost find any result. This post is the first hit.
I think it's a false positive.

Johanromijin,
I'm using Avast and the warning is coming up as the file is being downloaded. I guess Avast is scanning in real time. As soon as the file gets to circa 90% download Avast puts up a warning and kills the download.
Frustrating if its an error, worrying if its not.
WB
Update - Just seen the update to your post above. I guess its a false positive then or is Avast better than all the rest at picking this up?

Hey John,
I really appreciate you uploading the QVGA version, I was wondering if you could also upload the VGA version ? Preferably the 1.1 version xcsillon released. Thanks so much.
If you by any chance need any help with anything, just let me know.

Dynamo2 working on wm6 or 6.1!!!!!

Ok, so I didnt learn about this program till today... and when I tried the cab, it didnt work... I did some research on the Dynamo website, their forums, and here... yet, still no dice... However, with a little bit of time, i got it to work, hopefully you will all have great results

To those of you who dont know what dynamo is... its an animated task switcher that allows you to pull up a picture of all open tasks and switch to that picture with your finger or close that task. Kinda like with Vista on windows desktop, except its VERY finger friendly. I have mine set to a button and to a finger gesture with FTouch...
To install this... youll need some older framework... go to the link below and download. After downloading go to your program files on your computer. Look in "microsoft .net framework" folder and upload and install the "netcf.all.wce4.armv4" i wouldve uploaded the cab, but the xda attachments wont let me
UPDATE!!! thanks to Azimuth, you can download the netcf.all.wce4.armv4 cab from megaupload and rapidshare. The new link is below.
View attachment Dynamo_PPC.ARMV4.CAB
Microsot .NET Framework 1.0 sp3
Microsot .NET Framework 1.0 sp3 CAB (megaupload)
Microsot .NET Framework 1.0 sp3 CAB (rapidshare)
If you have any questions, reply or pm me... Enjoy

not working for me. i installed netcf.all.wce4.armv4.cab and the dynomo cab you linked to, but clicking on dynomo from the programs menu only flashes the screen as it opens and then immediately closes, no luck!

you have to map it to a button and then click it. the preset hot button should be the start button. so essentially, you have to open it twice (once to fire up the program, and then again to pull up the program)
are you getting any error messages?

I took the liberty of uploading the cab to MegaUpload for everyone.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ICZE5VTZ
[edit]
ok nvm just as i posted this reply, the OP added the link. oh well, his link is the .msi, mine's the direct cab.
side note: works like a charm! thanks.

yeah, that did it. I didnt realize I had to essentially run it twice, once basically when the phone boots up, and then the next time i run it it will boot into the cool task manager setting. very neat program, a little under-featured though, but good enough to use for a cool alt-tab like program.

thank you! holy crap this app is SUPREME.
i got it configured to open with the windows button and its highly configurable which is a plus! is this person still working on this app?
it would be great if it could be updated to work with the latest frameworks so we dont have to install that old one.

i read on their websites forums that 2.5 might be released, but i havent had any framework problems as of yet. it also seems like it only blended in with the existing framework on my device which is a good thing. if this isnt updated by the original developer, maybe someone could ask him if they could continue where he left off, because its a great app. also, they might want to check out his flowfx, there is a dev kit for. itd be really cool to be able to call each transition before a program loads up. our wm6 phones would OWN if this could be implemented lol

works pretty fine on my kaiser thx for the app!

try the first microsoft link, it will have a cab you can activesync to your device inside of your program files on your comp

Hm.. looks cool. though i don't know if i want to downgraded from 3.5 to 1.0 .net frameowrk, am afraid other things may not work right after downgrading

.NET CAB file
Thank you for the suggestion but my laptop is in for repairs & I only have my PDA ...so thats my dilemma
Many thanks

it's so cool but it take match ram memory

Thank you, works great on my Sprint Touch.

Can upload on rapidshare? I can't download from Megaupload

sorry for the complaints about MegaUpload, it's much easier to download from for me (I really dislike Rapidshare's wait times). I never considered other people
Hold up, i'm uploading to Rapidshare right now.
[edit]
http://rapidshare.com/files/90724441/netcf.all.wce4.ARMV4.cab.html

I can't believe there was a program like this all along. It's freaking sweet. If you all like it, you might want to go over to the developer's site and post on the forum that you'd like him to continue. I think he basically gave up on the program because he didn't think there was any interest.

Dude, calm down. People are still going to post new topics and other people are still going to help them, no matter what. I fully support your idea but you need to relax a little bit.
You made your point and started a successful thread. But trolling posts and harassing people for helping is a bit much. If people don't want to use your thread, then they won't.

Turn off HTC Home, install the cab into internal ROM and softreset. Your HTC Home should have the new icons, etc.

didn't work for me either.

If the cab is not working for you (my first attempt at creating a cab, which I tested as working on my Polaris), then here's the files you will need to copy to your windows folder using Total Commander or Resco Explorer or GSFinder.

Why some CAB installs are "unsuccessful"

This post is meant to introduce the issue of why some CAB files are unsuccessful, what causes it, and what can be done about it.
This is just some initial info I am putting forth and I encourage others who cook and make CAB files to provide their input to more fully flesh out this problem.
Have you ever attempted an install of a CAB on your device and near the very end...after the progress bar has moved most of the way, it finishes and says installation was "unsuccessful"? If so, read on...
There is probably more than one reason why a CAB won't install on a device. For instance, the CAB may be for the wrong device type (as CABs can specify what device types they will or will not install on). Also, there are security issues that many of you are aware of regarding unsigned CABS. However, in most cases, as long as the CAB is for your device-type and you either have security turned off, or accept the prompt to install then the CAB will properly install.
However, if you have ever had the issue with a CAB stating installation is "unsuccessful" after the process, it seems the issue has to do with DLL files that are registered as "shared" or "self-registering"
Below is a picture of a CAB opened with a CAB editing program. You can see that one of the DLL files (type "application extension") is set to "Yes" for "shared" and "self-registering".
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I noticed that this CAB would install without a problem on my stock AT&T Tilt ROM, but had problems when trying to install to my cooked version. However, if I turned these flags on the file to "No" and then saved the CAB, the new CAB file would install properly.
I have experienced this on several CABs, on ROMs of all types.
In my experimentation it appears that if the DLL file in the CAB is set to shared/self-registering that it will not install if that file doesn't already exist on your system and is not registered properly (e.g. proper entires in the registry).
In this particular example (this was a CAB for a dialer) the DLL in question existed in the stock ROM, but not in my cooked ROM (since I pulled out the dialer).
Quick Overview of Test:
When I installed on my cooked ROM (with multiple changes) - no good.
When I installed on the stock ROM - good.
When I installed on the stock ROM (recooked with no changes) - good.
When I installed on the stock ROM (recooked with JUST that file removed) - no good.
In all cases, if I turned the option for shared/self-registering to "No" the CAB would install without a problem.
I believe that the existence of just the single file is not always all that is needed. I think that in some cases if related registry entries of other DLLs which call upon the file are not present then the results may be the same (i.e. unsuccessful if set to shared/self-registering).
When crafting my own CABs, sometimes these flags unintentionally get set to "Yes" and I get the same failed result. Without fail, if I edit the CAB and set these options to "No" the CAB installs fine and the application functions fine.
I don't really know why you would set a DLL to shared/self-registering as my knowledge doesn't really run that far and in my experience CABs with that setting generally fail. So a developer with further skill may wish to elaborate.
I hope that someone else finds this info useful and please feel free to add any accurate information.

Actually, it is that CAB that inspired me to write this (although I have prior experience with the issue). There are other problems with the opal CAB that's available, so it still might not work. If you would post in the Opal CAB thread with your results (and your ROM) that would be appreciated.
EDIT: Assuming you are a Kaiser user, if not ignore as I mean Opal CAB for kaiser...thx.

Im actually a vogue user but I got the file from the kaiser thread. You're right though, it installed but it's the default dialer half skinned like other issues. It did fix the unsuccessful issue for me though.

has anyone ever told you that your a F*ckin genius.

You are an asset to XDA. Great post.

Which cab editor do you suggest? Is there a nice free one? I'm sure the topic has been covered, but for some reason not even a decent Google search helps me out on this, much less a site search.

First off, your position as Moderator doesn't entitle you to be a smart a$$. In fact, you should set a better example than the average poster than snide comments such as this.
The poster didn't ask what program I am using. He asked for a "nice free one".
I happen to use OCP, which is NOT free. It is however listed in the forum link I included.

It has been stated by numerous Mods, that if you have a personal issue with them or the way they posted you need to PM them, or another Mod and not air your complaints in public. It has been suggested that failure to do this could result in a temporary ban. I would suggest editing your post to something more appropriate and air your grievances in the appropriate forum.

[REF] Overview of the different ROM's & Features [11-06 updated]

Hello everone!
I noticed a lot of questions from new guys who are completely lost in all the different roms out there!
So i thougt why not make a topic that gives an overview of all the rom's and whats in it.
First let me explain what is basicly different.
Take a look at the excel file you can download below. you see there are a lot of rom's listed on the left side!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now it all comes down to your personal choosings. do you want a rom where the start menu is at the top take one where row C ("Start at top") is filled in. A higher number means a newer version. Newer versions are better (most of the time)
You want it at the bottom? Take one where row D ("Start at bottom") is filled in with a number.
Do you have a T-Mobile US HD2? pick a rom where row E says Yes!
Row F tells you if the ROM is ready to enable the 576mb RAM in combination with a proper radio ROM.
Cookie Home Tab + Editor
A lot of roms have the Cookie Home Tab (+editor) cooked in. CHT (cookies home tab) is a great addition to manilla and i would recommend using a rom where it's cooked in. If properly cooked it can boost preformance (more info on the CHT can be found here.)
GTX Themed
Some ROM's have the GTX Theme cooked in (more info of the GTX Theme can be found here) The theme cooked in makes it preform better.
I am currently working on filling row G & F. I could use you to give feedback of whats the free program memory straight after a flash (no 3d apps installed) I think this would be really usefull to know and have an overview of.
Language of the rom
WWE = English. Rest speaks for itself
18-05-2010 Topic created. Going to make it better looking soon.
11-06-2010 small update, consider this v0.2
15-06-2010 Now you can also view the rom's on google docs click here this way my updates will be visible faster
Feedback & corrections verry welcome!

might need this one too if im going to expand it a lot.

nice sheet.
my opinion:
-change "start top" to "6.5.0"
-change "start bottom" to "6.5.X"
-just use "X" instead of build number (you dont have to update it again and again just for build updates)
-hd2o has 6.5.0 variants too (not correct in sheet)
-hd2o has cht included (not correct in sheet)
-i would not include the "gtx themed" row because you can install this as a cab and its not a fundamental mod like cht.
-"sense cfc-compressed"-row needed
-free space after flash (dependant on many things like ram-hack/leave out things/compression/ramdisk/pagepool etc; i think you should remove this row or test every rom yourself)
-graphical mods-row (none/light/medium/heavy; to determine if its close to stock looking)
-pagepool-row needed

that i will do i just named it that way so the noobs would understand it better. but not having to change the builds every time outweighs that.

Yeah i figured i could remove that row becouse its not verry common. also going to remove that 576mb row becouse every rom seems to have it.
making a row like CFC Compressed / Uncompressed is a good idea. gonna work on that too
thanks for the feedback.

FANTASTIC!!! FANTASTIC!!! FANTASTIC!!!
Would be great to see some array of benchmarks on this! Maybe one for graphics, one for time it takes to load 500 single messages (obviously from a standard SBP restore, so that its the same)

pretty sure the mods won't allow benchmarks to be included, however useful they may be.

i made a perfect benchmark performance reference video for you all.
source: samsung sound demo 1920x1080 9000KB/s
endfile: 800x480 2000KB/s (full hd2-resolution; no scaling needed)
hd_other_samsung_sound_demo2000kbs.mp4
when testing and comparing you have to follow the rules:
-mtty
-rom flash
-hard-reset
-install tcpmp
-soft-reset
-plug in power-cord (cpu-scaling!!)
-start phone
-start tcpmp
-load benchmark video
-set zoom to 100% (no picture scaling needed anyway; just to make sure)
-start the tcpmp benchmark
-always use the same (fresh formated) sdcard with this video file on it
-you have to state that the results can vary
feel free to add this video to your first post (but give me my conversion credits).
enjoy and happy benchmarking...

Very much appreciated . Excellent job

Hi Jamieeeee,
Thank you so much for picking this up this useful endeavour.
Not certain if you had been privy to the previous discussions about such an idea - Please can you take a look at this thread for some further ideas to extend, develop and ultimately grow what you start into a community-driven resource:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=658641
Also, you will see there that there is a member (bowpay) with another site developed specifically to provide this level of functionality: http://xdaroms.com
Perhaps it is also worth making contact with him...
All the best and thanks again,
Hirshy

Might be a idea to tutn this into a googlee doc???
Least people can go in and update :_)

Community-driven updates for future.

Hi ej2095 - quoted from my above linked thread...
ahirshfield said:
Perhaps start as a thread, work it to a useable format, gathering feedback, comments, suggestions and requests, then move to the Wiki. I recon, if the format and fields are all dimensioned extensively and well enough, the resulting table/wiki would be adopted across all devices.

In addition to bowpay's endeavours, I would like to state that while the Chef's participation is preffered, it might not be mandatory:
Indeed the concept of Wiki would enable users to keep the table up-to-date. The larger the sample size of users representing a particular rom, the more accurate the detail as time and user-base increases: ala "The Wisdom of Crowds".
So even if the cook provides just the initial basic information, or nothing at all, it would not prevent such an idea from working. This is dependant on the Wiki model for user updates - which is available here at XDAdevs. This is probably a benefit over the model that bowpay has for rom cataloging, which I think is dependant soley on the chef's input and maintenance, however I am always open to correction.

I think this would work here on XDA-Devs better than a google-doc?...
Feedback welcome,
Hirshy

thanks for the feedback guys im working on a improved file with some changes,
- No more build numbers. i will keep this one on here untill its outdated (wont be that long) becouse its to much work to keep track who updated what.
- No more 576mb enabled row (every rom i encountered had it enabled with the proper radio)
- Stripped version row, now making a difference between Yes and Available
- added: Graphical Mods, Sense CFC (un)Compressed and Pagepool row.
- Removed the CTX row.
- Added the SPA row. sorry for the spanish people i missed ur country lol

i think i luv you! thanks for doing this.
your idea of the amount of available memory after flashing is a very good one as well.
would it be too much work to show what mods/apps come pre-installed?

Great Effort! with everyones help this may be up-to-dat and accurate!
my 5 cents;
Artemis has no 576 support as far as i know (an is on his own post ;0 )

Just a suggestion but in the next update can you please include a cell with the additional application highlights? and also reorder it so it's in alphabetical order?
Also a generic question (not sure if this is the right place for it but hey). Do the new builds of wm6.5 have the start button at the bottom of the screen by default? corrently i have 1.66.405.2 Official installed on my phone and the start button is at the top.
Thanks for your comments.

this is pretty awesome!

very good idea! thank you for your contribution, this will be very helpful to a lot of people!

Awesome initiative, but like a previous poster said, let's try to keep benchmarks out of this. We've seen nothing but bad stuff come of it in the past, and we'd hate to have it repeated. Enjoy er
p.s. Here, I'll sticky this for better exposure, as long as you promise to keep it updated

Are all the ROM variants listed already?
I ask since for the CleanEX Black Series there are currently 10 different ROMs to choose from and the current sheet only has CleanEX Black Series Listed as 1 ROM...
Any way Chefs can help update this, if ever?
