Real VGA that works! (tested on LAurentius' and beast's AKU 0.5 (v1 update)

after searching and searching for possible resource files for an ozVGA hack... i accidentally stumbled upon a VGA hack from somewhere in the forums... didnt know it will work but just tested it anyhow...and wow! first time i was able to appreciate real VGA in all its glory... no more missing icons or displays...
important!!! i am not the author of this software... i just found it and would like to share it to my current family (UNiversal).... hehe!
all credits go to the author, tobias.waldvogel in the athena forums! cheers! you made a working REAL VGA program! finally!!!!
what is good about the program:
1) you can choose 96, 128 or 192 dpi settings
2) all icons/notifications/etc can can be seen
3) texts in the today bar are all present! (signal, battery, clock, volume, etc)
4) now you can use the htc home plugin with no problem! (in REAL vga)
5) very very minor font issues
***I am not liable for hard resets! i just want to share! if you're not sure what you're doing, maybe you should wait for other people to try it first and wait for their opinion on this software
sorry for 1 link only... i cannot upload it here... tried about 4 times already..

Excellent find ! Works with my old trusted Darkforce rom. These threads are indeed a treasure trove. Keep finding excellent software.

Great software, thanks mate! Works with Midget_1990 v1.0!

Yup, confirmed working & stable in Uni after 3 days of use. HTC Home now displays better although notification counts still cut-off/partially hidden at 128 dpi. Most progs are compatible except in my case 1-calc.
Credit should be given to: tobias.waldvogel of Athena forum here at XDA-Dev on the thread pointed out above by fallenczar!

I'm interested to learn about the application of real-VGA.
Why we will be needing real-VGA where we have high resolution in PIE...?

been following the development of this app from the athena forum and this latest release is really impressive.
the original thread is vga 144. thanks to tobias.

My GOD!!!!It becomes qtek 9000 screen beautiful!!!!
Incredible work!!

First of all congratulations ranju for the nice ROM (judging from the posts in your thread)!
With RealVGA we get to use HTC Home Today plugin which doesn't display well in QVGA. A lot of today screen space is also realized as well as getting to see a lot more on the screen on other VGA-aware progs. The drawback is when non VGA-aware programs are run, the fonts (& icons) are veeery small to be read/seen.
Can't comment on games as I don't use mine for that kind of stuff, but some say that VGA games are cool in Real VGA!

can someone post the cab file here? it keeps bumming me saying the rapidshare download limit has reached
thanks in advance!

I got an error: using higher resolutions, if I would like to set alarm, got error message: "No program memory available...".
Switch back to 192dpi everything is working normally.

YES! I also got this error!
And I found some error about Windows Live, the icon of MSN Messeger are wrongly displayed.
offiline logo = online
DND logo = offline

I've just downloaded and installed this file, and let me thank you for this.
And... Here is my two cents, i just wanted to share my experiences on how programs behaved in this mode.
The icons at SPB Today plugin doesn't display.
The Task manager icon is corrupted and is hard to click on it.
I've resetted my PDA twice since i installed this and both resets required another reset since it stuck at windows logo.
When i opened VC Painter.. well, it kinda crashed and i had to reset.
I've opened Pocket Artist, it works well except the icons at the toolbar can not be seen unless you click and wait on over them.
Opera seems better this way, you really enjoy browsing in fullscreen. Well, at least whilst opera "can" open web sites as it's supposed to be. I still am struggling for using meebo.com.
Minimo, the browser that i could barely have had any surfing experiences since it drives me crazy, is worse than Opera at browsing but works at RealVGA mode, well... kinda! (It crashed again when i tried opening a website.
The dialer skin doesn't fit the screen good enough. It has a blank space at down as big as the "Hide Keypad - Menu" bar is.
In this mode, viewing photos is a feast since you can view them in their original resolutions.
Resco Audio Recorder application denies the screen res. and tries to open like it was in back. It feels like they've coded their program to fill the screen according to ratios. Looks bad.
Wohoo! Keepass looks fantastic!
Novii Remote doesn't run at this screen resolution... *sniff*
pTravelAlarm's skin looks like crap, pity...
psShutXP feels more like real,
Voice2Go behaves just like Vito Audio Notes,
There're some minor font issues when i was exploring settings...
Oh and, it drains memory!

hi dreamtheater... i also had the same problem before...
i think these are the files i used for the htc home plugin....
htc home plugin: rt HTC home 2.0
htc home plugin customizer: HHCv08b.cab
this home plugin is the one with the 6 tabs... you can enable this using the customizer... you can also change the clock skins, icons, etc.
makes your home plugin look even better...
no other requirements except that you must be in wm6 for this particular plugin i posted (and in realVGA to get correct display).... i know i read somewhere that they were able to make a Cab to make the htc home plugin run on a wm5 device...

YOU MUST INTALL HARDSPL PRIOR TO FLASHING! I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES TO YOUR DEVICE AS A CAUSE OF USING THIS ROM!
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK
OEM Installed apps include poorlyduck's VistaCube and Vista.tsk. VistaCube can be uninstalled if you choose to do so. You must soft-reset after uninstall for the touch screen to function.
You must delete the following registry key for your favorite contacts to show on the Home Plugin: HKLM/SOFTWARE/OEM/MASD/QUICKDIAL.
Do this before setting your favorite contacts and your selections should show up on both Home Favorites and on the Cube's Favorites.

Just wondering what Fixes and Tweeks you included.

also whats diffrent with this one put up some screen shots

After feeling 6.1'd out with instabilities and such. I opted to flash back to 6.0. This is a very nice ROM. Similar to Alex's 1.62 Home rom. Good Job. Thanks

Having problems with the HTC dialer
Using kaiser tweak i changed back to the HTC dialer (video) and after pressing the first number, the other numbers don't show up ... they do get pressed ... and do register, but i can't see them

Your best bet is to install dutty's dialler to fix the problem. The HTC Video dialler is probably missing some Icons/etc. due to streamlining this ROM for the AT&T networks which don't have video call capabilities.
I will make a not of this to fix in a future release.

Thanks for the help,
I found a non video dialer that works well, and i even found a hebrew skin for it,
but do you know where i can get the dialer you mentioned ? maybe it will work with video.
thanks again
P.S.
Funny question... how can I get rid of the damn cube ? ... it is the most annoying thing in the world .... i play solitaire dragging a card and it pops up ... i scroll and it pops ... very annoying !

You can remove the cube under settings/system/remove programs. I allowed for it to be installed on first boot, but also to be removed. After you remove it you will need to soft-reset to get your touch screen back.
I found the link for the Dual touch dialler from Nadavi and dutty

But i think i tried that dialer ... didn't work well (visual bugs)

You can add the Solitare exe as an exception in the Cube config, so it will not open up when you are Solitare. Just a thought.

My uc config file did not run after the customizations ran. Is this just a problem with mine or has anyone else had this issue?

Recorded Video wont playback
hey is anyone having problems with recorded videos not playing on the phone. Windows media player is not associated with them does anyone no how to change this this happened on this rom and his previous rom. i never had this problem until in installed his roms. other that that i love the rom. i dont even see how to add extensions in advanced config someone help please.

Highly POed!
I've tried sending a message to the guy who made this rom. But i think he might have HTC support syndrome. Every since i installed his rom windows media player on my phone will NOT play .Mp4's that i recorded it keeps saying cannot play file. the file is either corrupted or the player does not support the format you are trying to play. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

Hold up there chief. I sent you a PM, gotta give a busy man some time. I haven't had any issues with video on this ROM, I thought you were referring to my 6.1 ROM. Can you upload the file that won't play so I can test?
Open the file using TCPMP in the Multimedia tab. It may not show anything at this time and probably won't. Stop the file and shut TCPMP. Then use file explorer to open the file and it should now be registered to TCPMP and play properly.

I've tried to figure this out, but I can't get UC to run at all. There may be a conflict with the OEM autorun.exe and the SDAutorun not being called to via the .txt files. I'll see what I can do to fix the problem.

Workaround for .mp4 files not playing.

For some reason I seem to be unable to receive incoming bluetooth connections. Problem happens only with the incoming connections, outgoing files go no problems.
Tried setting the bluetooth as disoverable, connectable and removed the passcode; still no dice. When another phone tries to connect it shows a connection error while I don't see anything on my Tilt.
This could be something related with my settings?

Back to 6.0
I don't know if it was the new radios or 6.1, but I could not get a stable build for the like of me. Freezing, GPS not working, etc... yes, it (6.1) was a little faster, but the price was too high.
I decided to revert back to 6.0 and happened on to XTRM-1.62-6.0X! Finally I have a stable build again!
Thank you!

Is it just me or does TCPMP not work? (by not work I mean not open .flv files)
I added the plugins as well (TCPMPflvplugin-v0.4.2.zip) still no go.
edit: I can't play any videos in tcpmp. I dont think i can play in wmp either.

let me get this straight....
1. you download a ROM being fully aware that ROMs may be snaggy
2. you don't pay anything for the ROM
3. you find a little snag and PM the cook....
am i right so far?
then you have the audacity to come on here and complain?
about a FREE product, that someone spent THEIR time on?
and on top of that you insult him too?
dude, that's lame.....
Sorry guys, just inconciderate people torque me sometimes......

Samsung SGH-i780 and CorePlayer - incompatible?

Is someone having CorePlayer 1.2.0 running without problems on the Samsung i780?
After installing the latest CorePlayer 1.2.0, I can run and use the software, but when I have closed it (exit) I can never start CorePlayer again.
For a second there’s the ‘CorePlayer’ title in the top Windows Mobile bar, but then the program just closes directly after that. Uninstalling and reinstalling CorePlayer, a soft reset and even a hard reset didn’t do the job.
Has this something to do with the new 320 x 320 screen resolution of the Samsung SGH-i780 or is it something else? I couldn’t find any information regarding this issue (or same experiences of other users) on the internet.
Thanks!!

I doesn't manage to get it works too.

Hello, same here. There is no way (at the moment) to get this program working on i780...

That's a pity. And really strange, since CorePlayer DOES work properly the first time you run it (the first time after installation, that is).
It's just after that, that it won't execute....

this is great to read, just after I ordered one!!!

I found a solution somewhere but I don´t remember where I read it. But start Coreplayer as it works the first time. If you already had started it once and can´t start it again delete the config.xml located in \application data\coreplayer on your device and try to start it again.
Then go to tools - settings - advanced and remove the mark at support for WMP UI plugin. And after that it shall start everytime

In that case, avrcp function of coreplayer would not work. what a pitty. tcpmp is my favourate player due to its ease of use and powerful functions. coreplayer is even better because of its support of avrcp.
seems i780 is not using standard wm6 bt profile. it disconnects my itech clipradio all the time, but works fine with my new jabra bt3030. strange.
the built-in wmp is so stupid that it won't remember the directory i browsed last time and point to it the next time i start the application. that wastes me a lot of time. working with the media library is a bad experience also. Alternatively, is there any way to change the default directory of wmp? that would help me a lot before a new version of coreplayer supporting i780 is out.

coreplayer 1.2.5 supports i780 with avrcp working

I am using coreplayer 1.2.2, and have been for over six weeks - it worked straight out of the box and I have had no problems at all with the software.
this is using a UK Orange ROM which has not been upgraded or flashed in any way.
I've have installed and using realVGA - perhaps this is what is making the difference?

Haiz.....I face to same problem , can't use the core player ...to me , first run also can't...may impossible.after i click the icon , it just flick my screen then no more response ,who can help me ???

Build 19202?

Whats so good about this build it seems all the new roms are moving to it but because of the radio it gives me random taps i.e. when i press a htc home tab it activates a plug-in below this wasn't in issue till i got spb shell where if u drag down it closes the program (i have tested this with a different radio and had nothing like this). Also it seems to have the tcpmp crash well i know of the fixed version but i use coreplayer anyway but it also prevents vtap and youtubeplay which both seem to use a tcpmp like build. I'm just wondering whats so special about this build that everyone is moving to it maybe I'm the only one with these problems?
p.s. cant post this in specific rom tread because i get it on all 19202 build as long as i have it's radio.
p.s. 2 - i know dutty's doesn't but i don't really like his rom's now the pagepool hacking seems to have a negative effect on me.

vTap update
Hello, I work for Veveo who provide the vTap service.
We have posted a new client which should work with Windows Mobile 6.1 installations. Could you try downloading the latest client by pointing the browser on your phone to www.vtap.com? You should automatically be pointed to the correct .cab file for installation.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you continue to have problems running vTap.

The problem isn't the program its the rom it works fine on other 6.1 roms (except some on the originals*) as long at its not 19202 with the radio that it only works on it. Don't worry im not criticizing the awesome program .

Actually vTap should work even with the original 19202 ROM. We have tested that and it worked for us. It is expected however that it will only work with the latest vTap client. It would be very intersting for us to know if you do encounter a problem with the latest vTap client (version 143) with the 19202 ROM.
Thanks!!

I've already changed roms cose i had other problems with the build as you may have read above. I guess i wasn't using the latest version cose it was a while back when i downloaded vTap that didn't work on that build thanks for asking.
P.s. you don't have to reply to this post looks like im not gonna get an answer to original post so i'll let the post die now anyway a new build is out hope a rom is cooked with it soon so i can test it out.

OK.. best of luck...

Prog. MP3-Trimmer missing

One week ago I got my new HTC HD2 mobile. What a great thing. I got this mobile phone from my german provider Vodafone. When I try to create my one ring from my favorite mp3 song I searched the program MP3trimmer. But I can't find the programm. REading a lot of article I found out, that some of the mobiles where delivered without this nice program. Did anyone have an idea where I can get this program for my brand new HD2.
Many thanks in advance
Heiko from Germany

Hello there ..im using the one from blackstone and it works just fine
here u r :

Thanks a lot for the file.
I installed it and tried to run the program. But after starting the program I found myself on the desktop again. No chance to open the program. But maybe someone else had an idea where I can get an executable version of the mp3trimmer.

give this one a try too..it is a modified version of diamond's mp3 trimmer for VGA. (can only be installed in phone memory)
...hope it suits you..
