Volume Overlay Issues with New Taskbars? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Iv been reading through some of the posts on the forum regarding volume overlays being affected by installing new taskbars as i am having the same problem. In core player, WMplayer etc whenever the usual green volume overlay would appear for volume i am instead getting a black vertical block on the left hand side of the screen, no volume indication at all.
I have installed the default HTC Leo volume control but this gets rid of the speaker icon in the Taskbar i have installed and its a very basic looking volume adjustment which also overrides the HD2's main volume control aswell, so uninstalled this.
Was wondering if there is any kind of update or a file in a cab that would remedy this issue?, its not the end of the world as the volume adjustment still works but theres just no indication. Although having an actual volume overlay looks much nicer than a black box =P.
If anyone could help would be much appreciated
Also forgot to mention I did try to install a cab from a post I read where somebody had included all files that was supposed to fix this issue but after install and soft reset it didnt change a thing. I have the gfreek G_Brains WM6.5 taskbar installed on my HD2 with Co0kie's Home Tab and the Chainfire HD2 3D Driver Patch... if this helps at all.

Same with me, on 1.66 standard ROM (UK).
I don't think this really is fixed on many of the taskbars.
I'm using the one attached below at the moment, has the old style black volume control though, and I would prefer the proper green slide one.
DJC seems to work OK too (do a search), and with the proper green slide volume control, but the voicemail icon isn't included and it's the standard white windows one amongst the nicer looking DJC graphics icons.

i was using the DJC one before but got this one becuase i was having some problems with a few of the icons not working. Posted this really to see if anyone had any idea of how to get this to work with ANY taskbar that was installed because i noticed quite a lot of people having same problems with numerous different taskbar installations. Like i said its not that big of a deal but would be nice to have the volume overlay that i had when i first got the phone (without having to uninstall my awesome new taskbar) =].
Thanx anyway

when I tap on the speaker icon on the top bar. I there anyway
to restore the WM 6.1 volume slider like I had on the Titan?
Thanks

EDIT: first link should give you the files missig the second link will tell you how to go back to the microsft volume control. (here)
Got the PNGs
Where do they go? do I need one of the cabs in that 1st link?
It looks like thats intended to change the color of the HTC

slider from the volume icon?
Couldn't find the link for the cab to reset to Windows

Help with system volume screens on HTC diamond

Anyone have any idea how I have managed this, or how to fix it?
When I press the volume buttons on my htc diamond I get 2 different volume adjusting screens AT THE SAME TIME!
The standard diamond one that has the 2 pages to adust system and phone volume...
and then a new one layed over the top, or which appears before the normal one
The new system volume screen shows both volume adjusters on the same page and is semi transparent- so I often end up seeing both volume adjuster pages at the same time- I dont know where its come from- or what I installed to create it.
Is there any way I can deactivate one without uninstalling all my software or hard resetting?
Ive tried switching it off with Diamond Tweak but it as no effect.
Recently installed Mobile Shell 3 and touch flow detacher, plus the new calcualtor and image viewer ported form htc diamond 2.

Volume shortcut to be placed in prg shortcuts - WM6.5

Hi all,
I was using Set Volume 0.8.0 for some time, but I have experienced a few minor problems.
I flashed new rom few days ago, and I noticed that it already has a nice full screen interface for volume.
The only problem is - to activate it - one have to touch +/- volume hardware side butons.
I would like to remap them, and to place a shortcut to program shortcuts in order to invoke a volume interface screen.
Is it possible to do that?
I have found 2 small exe (WisVol.exe and Vol_WM6.exe) files here on forum, but they both invoke a smal baloon and not the full screen interface.
Thanks in advance and cheers,
Nenad
I'm having a similar issue. I just cooked a 28014 rom and included the HTC Mega Volume Control. It pops up when using the HW button, but if I click the volume icon at the top in that new large menu that pops up, nothing happens at all. How can I fix that?
Hi,
I have found this link:

I sound stupid even to myself asking this question, but it looks that I am the only one - beside phazei - who reads this subject - soo

keyboard without arrows and works in landscape ?

I am quite frustrated with the keyboard on this phone and it makes texting difficult for me... I am coming from an iphone so maybe that may be the case since I may be used to their keyboard....but all I want is a keyboard like the current htc hd2 keyboard just without the arrows on it ....I find myself pressing the arrows alot on accident or pressing the wrong keys and I believe it is because the keypad is moved in a weird way to accommodate the space of the arrow keys...
I have tried the resco keypad and it is a bit small, but the main thing is that it does not work properly in landscape (it displays a portrait kepad in landscape) and the same is with the "FingerKeyB" (which has some decent theme options btw which I like)... and then there is the EzInput keypad which looked perfect for me but when I installed it, and then rebooted and tried to open sms, the portion of the screen where the sms would be is completely black and when I turn it to landscape the whole phone except the bottom bar turns black...
any help will be very appreciate, Please help me out.. this keyboard is getting the best of me...
have you tried swype? I believe its the best keyboard. i have attached the installation cab. you may also want to look at lesscro's theme for swype keyboard, Im using it its really nice, check out this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653256
Thanks, I have tried swipe and did not really like it....
I wish the EzInput keypad would work because that seems like the most ideal for my request....
any other suggestions? ...maybe I will have to ask the creator of EzInput to fix it up for the HD2, or maybe I will have to take it on myself ?....
any ideas?
There are versions of ez input without arrows. I am not home before saturday night but if I forget give me a pm and I can send the link....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536215
try here..
that is the thread I got eZinput from, but I am having problems with it on my HD2....it seems as though it is already without arrows, from the screen shots (and that is why I liked it, because looking at the screen shots I can imagine using it would be a lot more suiting to me than the standard keyboard)....

Taskbar customization and volume manager

I finally customized my mega the way I wanted it to be when I initially bought it. I'm also running a 6.5.5 rom. Unfortunately I still have some issues with it and I was wondering if someone knew anything about them. First of them is if it would be possible to remove the start soft key in the bottom left corner of the screen. That would be nice since the mega already has a hardware start key and the one on the screen becomes redundant. It would be nice if we would just have two soft keys in the bottom corners
Also, I looked for a solution for the ugly volume manager in these last builds but couldn't really find one. I tried other volume managers like setvolume but that one is buggy even with answering phone calls. I find that unacceptable because most of all, it's a phone. So maybe if we could restore the default one or use another one without so many bugs that would be great. I saw somewhere that a solution was already available but for vga phones. Maybe that could be ported to qvga
I am with you on this. Would love to see these fixes.
I need theses fixes too!!! WM 6.5.5 has bad interface...
Why does the volume control must be so fat and ugly??
The most important thing is volume control in the youtube app sucks!
I wish someone can fix the volume control to use back the original HTC one.
Erm ok, the problem is even when the default HTC Volume control is implemented in the ROM, for some reason WM 6.5.5 overwrites that. I tried a few times. I think that sucks cos I'm a student , and my phone needs to be on silent. But the new volume control can be activated on the lockscreen so I'm afraid it would turn silent off. Any suggestions for this?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There's a nice app called SetVolume that does the trick quite nicely. Also, there's a cab that can remove the start button. I lost the cab but there's a registry tweak that does the job. You can search for it.
