htc touch-like media player skin, portrait & landscape - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

hi folks,
the htc audiomanager didnt work well for me, so i made a skin for the built-in media player based on the new htc touch dialer-pad.
Screens showing Portrait and Landscape Mode as well as Video Playback.

really nice skin. Looking foward to testing it out. thanks

wow that is really impressive, nice work on that.

-edit- no, all okay
... and suggestions welcome about the progress bar, im still not satisfied

Looks good

Y E S !
(grey this blue out)
k,wheres Paint...

Nice Skin, but does it support landscape view

landscape not yet ... will see
...and strange, for me still something wrong with the code right now not showing video, ill fix tomorrow...

Love the skin, looks great

Nice skin About the progress bar i would make the triangle a little smaller and bring it down a touch excuse the pun. Try the triangle in grey or black as well - keep up the good work.

On second thought a blue rectangle - longitudinal would also be good to match the blue background. Also perhaps a faint grey groove would look better than the white line. These skins are not as easy as they look, done some myself in the past so i can appreciate it.

thnx for comments
ill during the day redisign the surface a lil, correct and change something in graphics
also landscape is sure in my mind
the slider is a lil uninspired - im thinking about different places to put or alternative appearance, and im thinking about how to keep him usable with fingertouch or not as ff and rw is also possible by d-pad
about the blue color... its given by design of htc touch, i also removed in that dialpad the gray effect on last-call screen to keep design clear
will see how far ill go today )

Try a basic landscape first - in my experience media player does not change skin automatically in landscape mode except the default skin. You have to goto landscape view first then change the skin. It will only work on auto if you overwrite default skin in \windows. Most skins i have seen do not include landscape view because of this. Prove me wrong if you can Just thought i might save you alot of work.

yes ive allready seen - had to search and apply skin in landscape mode again, after itl be changed automatically... well i was wondering how to write a skinfile wm will apply for both views by itself, good to know it wont work

no landscape today.... am working on graphic changes
...so far:

damn, I got to have this one. Its so clean and professional looking. Like eye candy for me at least. Could you post a cab?
Just right click, save image as Welcomehead.96.png and replace the one in your /windows directory..
@envmyz
man you have talent! can you make some nice picture that will look nice on today screen with htc homeplug?
It's actually hard to create decent looking backgrounds with the touch today plugin, It blocks alot of the background.
This is what I have to go along with splash screens above.
http://envmyz.com/uploads/file.php?id=754
Hey envmyz, would it be possible to get that background you created? Its really nice and clean and I want to use it on both my Wizard and my Hermes.
Cheers
Same to me! Great work. I want this to please.
Sure thing, glad everyone likes my work

Go install a free copy of GIMP for Windows. Isn't the most friendly program but works great when you figure it out. Easily lets you convert files between different graphic formats just by opening it, and then doing a save as and changing the extension. It will do the necessary conversions for you (changing to index, removing transparency, etc based on what the new format does or doesn't support).

Hey guys, I get the problem that if I slide out my keyboard and the screen rotates, the background doesnt strech all the way over the screen, but I get one and a half backgrounds next to each other. This of course looks pretty crappy. Do more people have this problem, am I doing something wrong of is the file not set up to handle landscape mode of the device?
Something else, does anybody know if you can get a background file out of a theme (.tsk)? I've got a theme with a really nice background, but the rest of the theme sucks. I now want to use the standard WM6 theme with this background, but is there any way to retrieve this from the theme file?

The reason it doesn't stretch is because these graphics are 240x320. You need either a 320x320 so that it will work in both portrait and landscape or both a 240x320 and a 320x240 version.
As for extracting the background, yes its easy... A .tsk is the same as a .cab, so use a tool to open it (cabwuz, or there is a free cab tool inside the core kitchen). In there you will find the stwater (and possibly tdywater) bitmap files. These are the backgrounds...

Got it flashed on my device. Icons are looking in-tact. So far no issues. Will post in case of any. Thanks again...
how do i flash my phone with this file?
Well done!
How do I get taskbar like yours (with vista style start menu button) and popping up menu??
The only problems after 1hr of use:
- java emulator is broken (buttons names, alerts) and opera mini doesnt work in full screen
- connection setup is broken but this is sth we use only once a hardreset so can live with it
- input in operamini is limited ?? thats why i posted 2 posts and everything has to be presses twice
- connection manager - any options to have a 6 butt black or any other than we have? - just dont like it.
apart from that - perfect
No, the 6 button black version is made for the original dpi of the Vox, you have to rewrite the whole thing to make it work, but feel free to do so!
@Zeeshee:
Could you please upload you ROM and SYS folder? And is there still a black bar at the bottom of the homescreen like in other versions?? Or is it just the wallpaper? Or is the wallpaper chosen because of this?! Great work!
Hi
Java is fixed.
Connection Setup & Comm Manager.. I think they need to be re-written. But the other Dr. Gonzo Comm Manager is working fine. You can launch it from Home Screen as well from shortcut inside.

When incoming call comes, the image is not displayed in center. Any idea how to fix this?

If you are talking abt black bar at top... that is fixed
I mean this black bar:
Mh there is no option in registry for centering call screens that I am aware of!
java issues solved by installing Cloudyfa_EsmertecJbed onto device memory! works perfect!
i got only one white conn mgr. any other works in 96dpi?
how to get that black bar gone? anyone?
So what is the difference between 96 dpi and normale windows mobile ?

i could try..The problem however would be that there are no premade icons with naked women..So i would have to edit the photos myself to make them..
anyway do you have any preferences (as to which girls ) or if you have any specific photos that you would like let me know

Thanks Burningwheels, I added your fix!
Nice.
How about your top task bar (vista looking) : where and how did you get this !?
I love this, it looks really great!
Is it possible that you could make a complete replacement of all the green colored menus to this black one?

I'm sorry I was on holiday so I couldn't answer your question. The reason for your problem, is that you probably have another menu installed. It could be the rhodium or the tachi version. I've made a skin for them too: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535351
Good luck!
Might be worth looking at a post I started back in June
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520663
Alternatively Max TF3d Application lets you change the menus quite easily and conveniently without having to worry about a hard reset. cant find the link but if you search the forum it will turn up
But that's for manila, I made this to work with the menus in windows.
Nevertheless I haven't tried that tool but it sounds good.
I use cfc gui for tf3d sknning, it works very good.
Thanks for you post.

SMS Skins by me

These are also located in astronouts thread up top but i thought I'd repost them here, these are the sms skins I have personally converted to work on the HTC Mega. I do not claim to have created any of them, I just re-wrote the css's and edited the images to run on our fantastic phone.
If it doesnt work, uninstall then install SDKCerts and reinstall your chosen skin

also added to the first post. I'll add more as I make them, I'm working on an animated skin at the minute, the key is to make it animated while not slowing the system down.
I'll post it here when its done.
Thanks you !
I've take OBlue recoloured !
Good job !
Glad you like it dude.
The animated skin is coming along nicely but re-writing the css files the way I want is harder than I expected.
Can you make an iphone type based on light blue background with white and grey (or light yellow) text boxes? Sounds boring but I like a clean version.
Thanks
yeah, just boxes or speechbubbles? lighter blue than the default iphone theme?
Speech bubbles are ok.....lighter blue indeed than default iphone and white or light yellow instead of the green
Even the glossy can be removed......
Thanks....

Hi, After I installed, it doesn't work well. Is there something wrong? I installed Minishhippo_Iphone skin first. Then I restart. Nothing changed. So I install sdkCerts again. and I reinstall Minishhippo_Iphone skin. Still not working. Please give me a guide line. Thanks.
