New O2 Exec ROM and OzVGA - Lovers or Enemies?

Has anyone else tried to run OzVGA with the new O2 Exec ROM recently released?
I've now tried twice and both times after rebooting into VGA mode it locks on the image with what looks like the sun. I can see the Select and Exit today buttons across the bottom but thats it.
Oh and the signal LED is flashing so at least something is working.
No response from the device at all.
Please tell me someone has seen this and has a fix - I dont think I could handle another hard rest again.
Didn't have these problems with the iMate ROM.
TIA
Jason

ozVGA does not work on the new EXEC/Dopod ROM.
Try another one as attached. I have tested it and it works great!

Bought my XDA Exec a week ago and had been struggling to install OzVGA via downloads from other threads here. Saw your posts here, gave it a go, worked first time. Thanks for the pointer.
Only a small number of font issues with the built-in monitor programs, but the main apps seem to display well. Only unexpected quirk for me is that I can no longer get a fingernail to the Close (red cross) button in the top-right-hand corner - the bezel gets in the way! Still, I'm prepared to sharpen my nails as per a recent thread!
Any clues as to the source - is it a variant of OzVGA, or a different product?

Will this work with the QTEK ROM or is this just specific for O2?

Here is the file you need and the instructions. The only difference is that you should not use the files contained in the "Windows Folder Files" of the .rar but download the new and updated dll files for AKU2 from here:VGA files
Extra step: Create a shortcut to VJBigPhoneRes in \windows\startup
Notes:
1. Backup so you don't have to hard reset if anything goes wrong.
2. Before replacing the files in \windows with the ones contained in "vgasystemfiles" make sure you backup the originals.
3. WM5 do not allow overwriting ROM files from your PC. You can however move the files to your SD and do it from there.
4. You will get a new icon on the bottom right hand corner, for VJBigPhoneRes. If for any reason the phone app does not appear correctly just tap on it and "Load and fix phone".
5. The only phone buttons that do not appear correctly are on the PIN input screen but that's not really an issues since you can type the pin and hit enter.
Hope this helps.

i've tried this on my O2 exec with what so far seems to be a large ammount of success here. (following the instructions in the last post).
I have reco explorer installed so it makes overwriting the rom based files (power.exe etc).
I recommend that you use something like spb backup to back the device up in its entirity before you do this!
Also it would be good if we had a revert application for the phone vbj stuff but for now , hey , it works if you have a spare 10 minutes to set it up.
I surfed to one of my regular sites via opera and it looks excellent on par with the Zaurus SL-3200 runing firefox.
Previously when i tried this alot of the GFX were mangled. so far i've only found a little bit of mangled GFX.
Hudsons IP Dashboard ends up getting a bit squished but its nothing that ruins the uses of the app. Also looks like the bottom right hand corner of active sync has a little bit of corruption. but its not as if it makes the device un-usable.
I'm looking at it now and it looks EXCELLENT! The one thing that concerns me is battery drain, i would have thought this will effect the battery with it having to draw more of a screen now but i'll keep a check on it.
I'm running the latest 02 rom so I can confirm a large ammount of success and if you use spb backup you can easily restore the device should you need to..
to be fair though, you need good eye sight, i've turned the font up to biggest and it still looks good (also helps a little with spacing).
have a bash, don't be scared!

Help
Hello Guys,
I'm a newbie here, so can you please walk with me step by step?
I read about it and I liked its features but when I downloaded it and ran it, installed it on my Universal (Orange), nothing has changed, and I didnt find where it was installed on my Universal, so can you please tell me why, what, how & where?
Thanx guyz

i tried that, but it wone lest em copythe backlight files etc as the files are read only etc? hoe can i replace them?

anyone? i cant figure it out, or if the worst comes to the worst, how do you remove it? or is that hard reset time?

You can copy the files from the SD into the main memory with Resco Explorer. It will allow you to overwrite ROM files.

The file download now seems to be 404 for me. Please could someone else kindly upload the files so I can have some fun too :]

Managed to find what was needed. Thanks

iTask Animated 0.92.5 29.feb -RELEASED!!

Release 0.92.5 of iTask:
-------------------------------------------
Please don't get upset if I change something on each release, or that it is hard to modify. I know all this, and it is in everyones interest to make iTask work smoothly in every way, before making a good settingsprogram. If not, the settingsprogram would need changes every time I modified something in iTask, and that would slow down the whole development progress.
This is a development-in- progress app. This means you can use the beta, before the final release, and I get some feedback on bugs. Thankfully some in the community has taken a keen interest in sharing feedback, and therefor iTask Betas are still coming pretty often.
I know it's hard for some people to edit the input.txt and I hope someone with programming knowledge will be up for the task of creating a settingsprogram for iTask when I come to 1.0. I do not know much programming, only Flash.
Thanks, Rhov23
-------------------------------------------
Place folder at "root of your device"
Image of where the root is, and where to place folder:
ROOT
VIDEO OF ITASK 0.91
-You need to install Flash lite 2.1 player
-Itask.zip is the old version. itask_0_92.zip is the next and itask_0_92_5.zip is the newest.
-WHEN YOU OPEN iTask for the first time, or after a soft reset, or if unread sms or contactlist is not working, run SERVER.EXE.
Server.exe runs invicible in the background.
OPEN WITH ITASK.SWF
A GOOD TIP FOR EDITING: If you have a copy of the itask-folder on your computer, you can use flash player in Windows to play it there as well, for quick reference when you add images or text. Instead of dpad button, press enter
Newest 0.92.5
-Added many variables to input.txt so non-english can modify more.
-Added some variables to new background images, so you can for example change the background of the Minical or contacts
-Made contactapp a bit prettier, and you can now click on phone to make a call, or email to email a contact (if you have email for that contact).
-Teleprovider name
-Name of wifirouter
-Name of bluetooth connection
- Username
-Small fixes
Done 0.92:
-Unread sms
-Unanswered calls
-Unread email
-Buttons can now be gif/jpg/swf/png(with transparency)
-20 more app buttons ( open apps, slide to right)
-Slide to unlock has been changed to be a execute link instead, so now you can use a better screenlocker
-Changeable background for news and settings.
-You can use gif/jpg/png/swf for background-image as well
-Write has been moved to iProgs, so now mainbutton1 is open for external app.
-Rubik's cube game
-Soccer tricks game
-Sokoban game.
-Tetris look upgraded.
-Contacts app Alpha version.
-Many small fixes
-Volume and network or other system info not fixed yet.
Done 0.91:
-Rewritten from flash 7 to Flash lite (Painstaking!)
-New news reader (looks the same, but all new because of flash lite limitations on the old one.) It's faster, you can add as many feeds as you want. Use right/left hardbutton to change feeds. Also added browser link for reading the whole article.
-New calendar (because the old one didn't work in flash lite)
-Rewrote parts of weather. (because the old one didn't work in flash lite)
-New drawing app. Much smoother, more functions.
-New timer. (because the old one didn't work in flash lite)
-New snake game
-New bubblebreaker game
-New solitaire! (this took an awful long time to make)
-Added 4 search functions to write
-Added urls.txt: rss feeds addresses should be put here
-New loadani.exe: Screenshot app. Takes screenshots of all your apps and saves them as the appropriate loadani. Start the exe and see what I mean.
-Many small fixes
To do (in the near future)
- Your ideas (not to complex, please)
MODIFYING:
-Input.txt is where you do all text/execute modification.
All buttonimages are adressed in this file by numbers from 1-X, from the top left to the bottom right. Same with text, executelinks etc.
-Buttons should be 40x40 pixels.
Background images: 240x320 pixels.
-All jpg files MUST be NON-PROGRESSIVE. Keep the file sizes low.
Hope you like it!
This is a developing in progress app. I need feedback!
Please DONATE what you think this app is worth for you, if you like it of course

Downloading...
Edit: this is really nice! it is from my first tests very stable, not found any bugs at all yet.
maybe now you could try and make the frame rate per second higher, so that the animations would go smoother,
i am no programmer and i dont know if thats possible with mortscript..
keep it up! o and the spider walking down the keyboard is funny!! haha
PS: Thanks

Its a very nice looking interfece, but i agree that it needs a larger frame rate, so the animation is smoother. Starts instantly though. Ive got a problem in that it launches calculator no matter what icon i press. And, before it launches calculator, it says please post a screenshot of the application you use here or something similar.

Looks very promising, I'll try it soon...

Any chance of some screen shots guys?

Very nice for a first release. Well done !
1) Still didn't check all options, but as tomazez stated, a better frame rate would be great. It's not as smooth as Pointui or other UI replacements.
2) I don't know what's the need for the page that opens after clicking on a program's button (the one we should replace with a jpg pic) I'd prefer getting immediately to the program/settings page.

This is where your modification comes into play.
The image that comes before you launch calculator is to be replaced by you, with a screenshot of your program. If people will begin to share screenshots and icons, this will be a lot easier for all of us
Most links are defaulted to calculator, but in the input.txt file you can change the links to whatever you want.

@rhov23
Beautifully done! With some work, this could blow FreeStylWM and PointUI Home out of the water! Provided that we all get the video driver needed by all HTC products using the MSM7200 chipset, do you think that this will improve on the speed with some DirectX code thrown in? I'm no Windows Mobile developer (yet) but I'd love to help with this wonderful project (even if it's MortScript modifications or beta testing!)

[03/29/08] Perptual v0.3 with image viewer

Perpetual is a simple image zooming demo.
You can zoom on any of the 200 images, and the pixels will turn into other images to zoom, perpetually.
What is it for ?
Nothing ! It's just a proof of concept and a demo I made...
If you have any images to submit to add into the demo, feel free to post in the forum and we'll update as soon as possible ! I'm looking for images that have nice colors and an overall dominant one (that'll be used for the color detection) Thanks for helping support this useless project !
Download Perpetual​
Also available :
Perpetual Image Maker
Sexy Image Pack
Kaiser47's DeviantART selection (really awesome pack !)
SaintSeya pack
Zen nature pack
v0.3 (03/29/08)
- New prp format (old ones should still work though) with additionnal data : author, icon, etc...
- New menu using the new prp format data, looks much better !
- Now saves viewed purcentage !
- Now works with Smartphones !
- Fixed menu bug if you had too many packs
- Much higher image quality while zooming
v0.2
- Fixed image bug when you have more than 256 images (that was stupid)
- Fixed potential crash when moving around too much
- Fixed surface bug when you moved around
- PerpetualMaker updated, smaller exe
- Improved performance
- New image viewer to select start image
- Now over 300 images !
- New Image Pack maker : just put in any directory, and it'll take all the images from images/ (still requires 240x240 jpeg images) and do a pack (.prp file)
- New splash screen, with possibility to select pack to display !
- Fixed random crash when changing speed while in auto mode
- Speed button : x0.5, 1, or 2
- Auto button for lazy people
- Surface button to come back to the unzoomed image
A video is available on that page if you want to see what it looks like without downloading/installing
Thanks for the feedback, suggestions, and images !

Fascinating software - it works perfectly in portrait, its a bit slow and landscape, and it doesn't handle the change from portrait to landscape well.
Thanks for making my Kaiser much cooler however.
Any way the process could be automated, to make it into a semi-interactive screensaver?
Surur

Well, technically, it's automated on my PC (there's no way to add all the needed data for the colors of the 200 images alone ^^) : I just have a folder with the images, launch my .Net app, and it scans through all the images, sorts by color, and outputs both miniature views (to avoid overloading the memory) and a huge array with the number of the image to use for every 16bit color ^^
It takes a while to run on my PC, so it's unlikely to work on in realtime, would have way too much loading time. I have just thought of an alternative method to build the color array, it could work much faster, but would only be available for real-time if you have only a few images... and if you don't have many images, well... It won't work to well ^^ You need to have at least 50 or 100 photos, ranging in pretty much all the possible colors (my PC app outputs which colors are overpopulated and which aren't populated enough, to know which images to remove and what colors to search for) ^^

While it would be cool to use my own pictures, it would be nice to see it zoom through the stock images without me having to touch the screen with the stylus too, independently.
Surur

Well, this is a first release, I just wanted to have a quick proof of concept and that's it ^^
The future stuff that could be added :
- "Surface" button (to move back up)
- Auto button (could be nice to for lazy people ^^)
Anything else ?

A zooming back feature would be cool

Btw there should be alot more pictures kind of ^^

Well, it should work on VGA, just that it's upscaled. I tested on emulator and the performance was good.
In theory, a 100% VGA version could be done. But the program is already 5MB, uses a lot of ram for all the images, and a full VGA version would just use 4 times more ram :s
Btw there should be alot more pictures kind of ^^

Feel free to post some images (or send them by mail/PM) and I'll add them ^^

*Edit*
Ok here are some random Pictures i found and had on ma system! I extra made them 240x240 so you dont have any work rescaling them
Btw i would like if the "zooming" effect could be more smoother and slower if its possible...
Hope you like ma pics!
Regards

Thanks, let me check that out.
As for zooming, the speed can be changed, not a problem I didn't actually test on hardware, just on emulator, so it might not be optimal yet...
TODO list (note to myself) :
- Auto-zoom
- Back button
- Speed button
edit : hey, nice set of pics I'll definately include most of them in the next release (either as additional pictures or as a remplacement. like flickr-color-picker.jpg which will be perfect to replace a sort of crappy image I had in the same style ^^) Thanks !

Better not or are you willing to made a "special" adult version ?

Could be fun if you know where to find nice pics (IE, with nice and different colors, won't be as simple)

Still looking for a good theme for the icon and the viewer, if anyone has an idea, please share !

I found few random pics... hope you can use them

Yay, those are awesome !
I'm currently finishing a set of 50 sexy photos, then I'll see if it works good enough with those

Cool and amazing app! Works perfectly on WM2003! Keep working
I think that you should make other app like that: http://www.mazaika.com/mazdownload.html for ppc (WM 2003 support for sure! ).
Nice work!

Thanks for the link. That one seems nice too, but the images are in 64x64, whereas I use nice and big 240x240 images ^^ I'm thinking of modifying my PC .Net exe and redistributing it... It could produce a file like myimages.prp which would contain all the data needed, and could be copied on the PPC to open it...
As for SexyPerpetual, tested, it works pretty well ! The images aren't the best as I used the first image pack I could download on bittorrent. Not sure what the forum policy is for the kind of stuff, so I will not post a link to download it. Just send over a quick PM requesting the link and I'll answer back
As for the video, if you want to take a look, here the link for the normal version's video : http://www.palib.info/blog/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.xflib.net/Games/Perpetual/Perpetual.flv
Just keep replace the name by the sexy version's name and you should be able to view it (if the admins don't want this posted, please just tell me and I'll remove it !)

yes it woudl be cool if you can provide a tool that we can use to compile "our" versions with our pictures. it would be simpler than having to make special requests to you and sending many pics ?
but also if you really want pics, perhaps we can all send some to you ? public ftp or classic sharing sites like rapidshare ?

SexyPerpetual is very nice But insert "more naked photos" xD
BTW: I like kaiser47s idea

Kaiser47, feel free to use any method to send of photos
Yeah, I know, the sexy version misses a few naked photos ^^ But I just took a pack found on bittorrent, and used the ones with the most colors (because if I use only naked women on a white background, the transitions will be crappy, so I needed to have blue, red, etc....). If you have a pack with nice naked photos, I'll add them to the pack
I'm currently modifying the PC part of the code to generate a special file which could be distributed and read by the PPC app, that way anyone can do an image pack

Cool idea
I do not have ones so I will w8 for new versions xD

[APP] HP 48GX Emulator 1.18.1

For those who know what it is, I have created a complete install for the HP 48GX Emulator optimized for WVGA devices. The emulator itself is based on Sébastien Carlier's Emu48 (now maintained by Christoph Gießelink).
My goals were to have a realistic but finger-useable HP 48GX. I have included the complete package in a single CAB (the ROM is an HP 48GX-R model). As HP released the ROMs for all the 48 models about 9 years ago, I can't imagine them complaining that I'm packaging them together as a useful package these days
See the attached Todo.txt before posting any bug reports please. FYI, I do not really plan to address any of the Todo items anytime in the near future.
Enjoy!
HP 48GX-R 1.18.1
Change Log
2009.09.24
v1.18.1
Converted 709 KB bmp file into 94 KB gif with no data loss. The screen should now load much faster.
Updated CAB file installation to allow for Storage Card installation.
P.S. The thumbnail doesn't even begin to do it justice. I spent *DAYS* on the visual appeal of the interface and for anyone who owns/owned an HP 48GX I hope you'll agree the level of detail and realism is nearly perfect.
P.P.S. If you don't know what an HP calculator is, or more importantly what RPN means, then its probably not worth your time even trying this.
48GX State Files
I have now attached some state files which includes two .e48 files and a SHARED.BIN file. The SHARED.BIN file is a 512K Port 2-5 attached card which both .e48 files share. The files are as follows:
SHARED.BIN

Included in the zip is a file called InstallConfigure.txt which is simply the steps I took to create the .e48 files. Please note that I did not include the application .lib files themselves, though I did link most of them above. Remember, you can always recall them to the stack and save to your device if you plan to use any of them to make your own state file(s) from scratch.
48GX WVGA Photoshop Source
If your goal is to modify the visual appearance of the calculator without modifying the position or operation of any of the keys (onscreen or keyboard) then you may be interested in downloading the Photoshop source (attached).
Using it you must create a BMP file that is dimensionally identical to the one included in my installation (else you must change the KML appropriately). This means that there must be the entire image with no buttons pushed followed by the annunciators, followed by an image with the buttons pushed (without the annunciators again though). See the BMP that comes with the installation to know what I am talking about here.
The photoshop source is currently set to output an image with no buttons pressed and the annunciators. You will save as a BMP image to get the initial image with annunciators. You must then hide all the appropriate layers (and there are MANY) for unpressed button mode, and finally show all the appropriate layers (again there are MANY) for pressed button mode. Now change the image canvas size (cutting 14 pixels--the annunciators) from the bottom of the image, and save this as a BMP image. You will then take the first BMP image, expand the canvas size by 748 pixels at the bottom, adding the second BMP image (with the pressed buttons) in that area. Then simply merge layers and convert that image to Indexed color mode (selective) and save as the final BMP image.
If you are planning on changing colors note that where possible all you have to do is select every appropriate text layer and then change the colors for all of them at once. However, you will notice there are two layers (one for text graphics, and one for button graphics) that you cannot do this. You may deal with these in one of two ways:
Use the wand tool selection with shift to select all items of a given color, and then use some form of Image|Adjustment|... to match the colors.
Recreate the items manually. This is where the HP48.csh file comes into play. These are vector items I created for some of the button graphics (and annunciators). Access them through the custom shape tool (load custom shapes from file).
The button pressed version of the button graphics is precisely the same as the non-pressed version, simply shifted down one pixel. So my recommendation there is to simply make changes to the non-pressed version, duplicate it, shift down one pixel, and make that the new (Pressed) layer.
If you spend the time to properly create a graphics file that you think others would enjoy, please upload it and the source for others!
Cheers!

I still have my 48gx from more than 10 years ago, now I am just a HP12c type of guy

Excellent Work! Much appreciated! I also have a Emu48 version used by a company called EaglePoint (used to be SMI). It is called Pocket SMI v8. I have a licensed version but it is no longer supported. It is basically a custom tweaked Emu48 with a different skin and kml script specifically for surveyors/engineers. I would like to modify the skin but I am not sure how to get started...

Very Nice! Thanks much!
You think you can skin it for my 48SX as well?
The GX colors annoy the heck out of me...

wow, I haven't tried it yet but will, awesome idea. I still have my 48GX from college but I doubt my professors would like me to use cell phone during tests.
Thanks, will try it.

Thanks!

For those who know what it is, I have created a complete install for the HP 48GX Emulator optimized for WVGA devices. The emulator itself is based on Sébastien Carlier's Emu48 (now maintained by Christoph Gießelink).

You think you can skin it for my 48SX as well?

If you have Photoshop and some time/know-how to make minor changes (difference in keys) to the KML file I can provide you with the graphics source that you can work with to make an SX skin.

Thank you!

This is fantastic, I will be looking for any updates and improvements. Will test and report back.

Wow... that's amazing...
...Here's my HP 48SX from my college years (circa 1992) for comparison...

help on resizing the skin hp48gx
I have tried to resize it with photoshop, but I don't know how to remap the keys.
Could be a way to include scroll bar option?
Thanks

depend on app version and watch face format. fitcloud uses at least two:
- PUSH - outdated format
- TBUI - a way flexible modern format
before replace a watch face you must understand format of your watch.
install any watch face and go to:
\\android\data\com.topstep.fitcloudpro\files\download\
you'll see a "*.bin" files. attach any one of it or look at the end of file by yourself. youl'll see one of this tags.

Thank you for reply !
That is Push. How replace that or edit?

I know only one editor for push, but it have an only "ru" locale. if you still interesting, I'll send it via pm.
replacing depends on fitcloud version
*for 1.5.4 or less:
- clear "\\android\data\com.topstep.fitcloudpro\files\download\" folder for clear understanding what exactly file you need
- install any wf
- now go to "\\android\data\com.topstep.fitcloudpro\files\download\" folder again. if it have an only one "bin" - it's a file what must be replaced. if you'll see two of "bin"s you'll be forced to guess. just replace one of it and if you'll fail - replace an other. or replace both for sure.
- go to last tab of fitcloud watch faces interface (list of installed) and install it again
*for 2+
- select installing customizable watch face (thirst in list). after it'll be download and "prepeared", before "push" it, go to "\\android\data\com.topstep.fitcloudpro\files\download\" folder, find "bin" with name starts from "temp_" and replace it.
- go back to fitcloud and now tap to "push"
do not try to install tbui watch faces, you have a chance to brick your watch.
