Hi,
i have testing with the dpi settings for the display and i think 96dpi is realy good to working. But there some bug's and no i ask me if any rom cooker can make a nice rom with 96dpi support. I have seen that win6.1 working on a typhoon with 96dpi by 176x220px ... the vox have 131dpi by 240x320px ... so can anyone help me ?
some images
Hm looks pretty good. How do you change to different DPi"
I've found you just need to set the registry values [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsY] and LogicalPixelsX to 96 in decimal
But for now it's quite buggy..some icons on titlebar are missing
Information source here
It changes icons messages home screen only letters in menus are at the same size
It needs some DLL editing from what i'm reading
Here are some shots
as you can see here the icons of the signal and battery are missing
Here is how the homescreen appears
Hm I noticed the icon problems. When you use the icon bar replacement it works on the homescreen otherwise it doesn't. You also need adjustments for the grid view in the start menu, it doesn't show enough icons, but that should be changeable via reg key too. You need the dll for the icon bar, then you can adjust that too!
EDIT: Yes, you also need bigger backgrounds!
Yes in the linked article they say how to solve the icons issue and why the problem exists but it's for Wm2003 so I haven't tried yet...
OT: thank you frau with your (and others obviously) work with vonix and for the wiki
OK. I think tshres.dll is for the iconbar.
exactly is tshres
"tshres.96.dll: Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/system icons. It even contains PE (Phone Edition) icons.[/url] Locked by the shell32.exe, gwes.exe and device.exe"
The problem is, I just looked in the dll and there are not all the icons, that are usually in the icon bar, like battery icons are missing!
For me it's very painful to look for those icons using the dlls located on the phone..maybe using the kitchen or the OEM SYS folders provided by the DOC...but right know I do not have broadband connection...
Tell me which dlls you need. I'll upload them for you!
Thank you for your cooperation..I'll take a look at the guide this evening..now i do not have spare time...so i'll let you know...
Thanks in advance
nice to see that somebody intressting to this
my idea is to copy the 96dpi stuff form a typhoon rom to the vox rom, and cook this. After this it's going to the fine tune.
For the menu's the regkey's are
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\PopFnt
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\BarFnt
and set the value "ht" to 14-16 ... what you like ... 14 is realy small but good enouth to read ... 15 is i thing the ideal for this
For the Scrollbar (value in px ... 3-4 are good)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\cxVscr
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\cyHscr
Sounds good. Can you upload those files?
I have never cooked a rom befor, i have ask "ALEUT" the maker for wm6.1 for the typhoon if he can send me the files from his rom.
if he would send me ... i put them to a server
ore someone told me how i cook a rom ^^
i founded all the icons thanks to frauhottelman...now i have to know how to modify them to be compatible with the 96 DPI MODE.
we will be waiting for you to release something to make vox 96dpi
other than icons you have to make call screens also compatible wioth 96dpi

i think you may wait for a long time...i m not a programmer or whatever else...i've just tryed to do some dll substitution...and till now...this has resulted in phone hardresetting
I've used some 96 dpi dll found here on XDA but with no luck...
if any of you finds a way to just edit the dll we have this could be great.

if you use nrg weather app and are having trouble with it and the theme
you can try chome configurator here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393104 go in to it and hit ctestuiplugin and hit show exit out
it used to work for me but with the one I have now I have to us a reg edit and go to security/chome/defaultsettings/ctestuiplugin change disabled to 0 and go to
software/Microsoft/chome/ctestuiplugin change disabled to 0
here is some cpr. files if the clock slide changes back.just install the cab one is for 3.0 to 3.2 and one is for 2.0 to 2.3 then go to options in the weather app layout options and pick one of the cpr. the weather app over writes the cpr file in windows so win you pick a layout it will kill the clock slide till you put the cpr files I made in it
here is some original wallpaper that came with the htc diamond and I added a bronzeres.dll with black diamond icons
and if you are using my theme I added a clear clock so you can add your own wallpaper the original had a black background all you have to do is add the files to the windows folder on the phone and if you us the black bronzeres.dll just switch to a noun slide theme thin add it
to the windows folder if you us freddy's menu or dialer I added icons to the icon folder for the icon folder for them.http://allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2321&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=10

I apoplogize ahead for my ingnorance! I am downloaded the cab you posted, but I am very new to this nd I don't know what I need to do w all the files. I assumed it was a an auto installation cab, so if anyone can help I appreciate it, I really like the theme nd it looks like you did an excellent job.

It sounds like you unzipped the cab file because otherwise you wouldn't see all the files. Redownload the cab and save it to your phone, but do not extract the files from it first. Then use file explorer on your phone to start the cab install by clicking on the cab file.
hey coo theme who created it?
i have this installed and running on a Blackjack 1 with 6.1, everything seems to work right except the clock and the slider panels. The clock is the standard clock not the one on the screenshot of the OP, the slider panels are blue no matter what back ground i use.
Is the default background supposed to be the black diamound one? I bet its not showing up because this is not made for a landscape device. could this be made for a landscape device?
OK look at the second posters avatar.....my screen looks just like that. Isn't it supposed to have the diamound style clock and background? When i switch the the diamound green or diamound fire they both show up fine, just the clock is not diamound and the panels are blue.

sorry i did not make it for landscape and it would not work on it
ok, well thats to bad, it is really a cool home screen. I didn't think there would ever be this kind of screen on a smartphone.
Great work though! I wish i could figure out how to do this kind of stuff!
Well i took a pic of something black and made it my home screen and with the blue sliders it looks pretty good! So i don't have the clock like i wanted but, all the other stuff works and i have a pretty cool looking home screen!
Thanks!

So I installed cab on phone succesfully, but I went to settings, more, regional settings nd I tried to change the time format like you said but it only gave me a few to choose from ( 11:19:42 am or pm) but wouldn't let me enter in 00:00:00 or anything else. Please help & thanks.
edit: FYI it seems to be working just fine w/out adjusting those settings, excatly what does changing the time format do? Thanks again nd I luv the new theme, keep up the good work.
johnnyeoneal: you have it right I just put the 00:00:00 for currant time and if you didn't change your time to that format it would not line up with the diamond like boxes
I installed Manilla 2D over Schaps 3.54b ROM for Tytn.
As i loved the skin Shifu made for his cooked Kaiser ROM v 3.0 called "Rock and Republic brown", and as i didn't find this theme anywhere i tried to apply this skin to my Tytn copying from Kaiser all the images beginning with "hh_" plus "HTCHomeSettings.xml", "Wallpaper.jpg", "wallpaperL.jpg" and "HH_0410_WeatherCities.xml" in Tytn's Windows folder and then applying "Rock and Republic Brown.tsk" theme in Today settings.
The result i got is shown in the second picture below. The first one is the correct look the theme actually has on Kaiser.
I'm wondering how i can change color of the purple upper and lower frames to match the original look and how to adjust the background frame of clock in the correct position. Clock also lacks of colon and displays an undesirable flipping every minute change, not enough some text around is missing.
Surely this is not an hard task for a skin guru, anyone can help me understand a little more?
Many thanks to the community.
Anyone can help?
Moved as not theme release....
Really anyone can help?
Is it possible to replace the clock in HD2 for a large analogue one like Hero - but WITHOUT changing anything else on the home screen?
Thanks.
Try max manila.
I had a look at this but the MaxTTM does not seem to work with HD2 to add analogue clocks and other bits(or I'm doing something wrong) and Max Manilla has only one analogue clock. Thanks anyway.
Max Manila has more analog clocks, there is an onscreen toggle which allows you to choose between multiple analog clocks and layouts. Download the Max Manila from the 5th post of the thread ("Max Manila 2.519202525 Ultimate - v2.5 (for latest manila 2.5)". Also read that 5th post and you will understand how it works.
However, installing Max Manila won't *just* change the clock. It is a complete package that allows customizations and enhancements from within the Manila interface itself.
Max Manila 2.519202525 Ultimate - v2.5 is not built for the Manila that is available in the ship LEO rom, it is meant for an older version of the Manila interface, and it is therefore a little buggy on the LEO. EDIT: Is not that buggy at all, it works great. Read two posts down to see why it was buggy at first. The Manila that is included on the Leo/HTC HD2 is 2.5.19211619.0. Version 2.6 of Max Manila will support this newest Manila build, and Max Manila 2.6 is not out yet. Soon.
MaxTTM is a tool to further customize Manila, but how it exactly fits into this story I do not know - I just figured all of this out myself this night too
Thank you very much for the detailed info. so all the "components" available for download will not work on Leo, as they need MaxTTM to utilise ? as some good analogue clocks are available only as components... the default analogue with Max Manila is a bit naff.
I believe all the extras/addons/components that you can find for Manila 2.5 (this post has a list of most, if not all, of them - only use the blue ones. Also check this thread, it contains the same list of hacks) require you to have Max Manila installed on top of your Manila. To use some of the clock replacements etc you indeed have to use MaxTTM to put them in your Manila.
On a sidenote, Max Manila won't work well when you have done custom Sense/Manila 2.5 tweaks which can be found on various xda-developers LEO pages. For example you have to remove the "22. Change Your Quicklinks from 9 to 16 Slots" tweak (link) before you install Max Manila. Probably other standalone Manila tweaks won't work well with Max Manila either.
As a matter of fact the current Max Manila 2.5 is not buggy at all on the LEO. I thought it was because I had used some standalone tweaks for Manila, which are not compatible with Max Manila. Remove all of them before installing Max Manila and Max Manila will work great, all or most of those tweaks are built-in Max Manila anyway - so you don't have to loose a thing.
Can't wait for Max Manila 2.6 which is supposed to be even a lot better!!
To complete the story, I have to mention HDWall, it is a tool to create custom wallpapers for Manila, and to change the icons on the tabs. Also there is a thread with a collection of wallpapers. I don't know whether this will work without Max Manila, I think it will.
*removed*.
*removed*.
Thank you again mate, its getting clearer now, I did have individual tweaks like "number of icons" etc installed before installing MaxManila ! One more question..which MaxTTM works with Leo (with latest rom) as I previously installed latest 4.1 and kept crashing just before executing changes. but this may have been todo with me having installed individual tweaks prior like you mentioned?
I don't know about that, I haven't gone so far as to actually use MaxTTM. I got my LEO just a few days ago and I have had all the time in the world the last few days, so I've been busy investigating everything and playing
Ok, seems that MaxTTM definately does not work with HD2, and apart from that app, I cant find another way of installing different clocks/components.
I just saw MaxTTM uses .NET 3.5
Did you install that, and did you do the necessary registry change to use it?
13. Install Compact Net Framework 3.5 to Make Old Apps Work Again
Some apps you may have used on another phone will not work on the Leo unless you install Compact Net Framework to your phone. Download the cab from the following link and install to Device only - not Storage Card and then reset. http://justpctech.com/PPC/NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab Also make sure your phone is using the 3.5 as default and not 2.5. Go here: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework. Change the DWORD data of entry 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0. Next Change the DWORD data of entry 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1 and then reset. This disables 2.0 and enables 3.5.

yes but keep getting Unexpected Error in MaxTTM
I've started another thread along the same lines as this one. Is there a way of installing Rolex, Tag or Omega analog/dual clocks as a standalone cab. I don't want to install MaxManila as I have a number of different reg tweaks that I don't want to uninstall or change. I found this cab that allows me to install a Rolex, but I can't install my 16 Quicklinks app afterwards.
Is there any way I can have both analog clocks and 16 Quicklinks without MaxManila or any other type of software?
Thanks
how to change themes
and
does this change tf3d or just its colour
Windows themes which are top and bottom bars are under Settings\Today\Themes.
For TF3D you have to find Manila themes that are compatible with your version.
How do I find out which version I have?

First;
Manila (HTC Sense) is the multi-tabbed UI that is selected in Settings\Today\Items.
In manila if you have;
Program tab = Manila 2.1
Programs on home tab = Manila 2.5
Then you search the forums for themes and tweaks for your version
One thing you will find is that not all manila 2.1 or 2.5 (whichever the case may be) will work because there are different builds within these, eg, 2.5.2011.....
Try going to your settings tab and see if you have "software" and check there.
For themes;
If its a .cab file installation and it doesn't work, you just have to uninstall it.
If its a tweak that requires you to replace files, find the original files in Windows folder first and back them up to avoid a hard reset.
You can find Windows 6.1 or 6.5 themes that will change your system colors and fonts, top and bottom Bars. Manila themes will only change the Manila UI interface, tab icons, clocks, etc.
Hope this helps.
