Hi,
Back in the time, when i was using Yuki's ROM for HD2 there was two themess called 'aero black' and 'aero rich'.
Does anyone know if, i can get then on Mango 7720.68?
As i think it is only about adding a new folder and the key and values in the registry.
Maybe with a CAB installer, or adding amnually, but current regeditor can not add things, it is only capable to deleting entries.
Thanks
SOLVED!
Hi Folks,
I tried an "old" nodo registry hack and changed the "ChromeColor" value to #00000000 in the dark theme, so full transparent and it works. Some menus and calling buttons background became transparent. Nice.
changing "Pagebackground" value doesn't work do not do it. I think it is because the same reason why transparent background also doesn't work on mango.
So it is not compleme yet, but i will keep discovering this part of registry. I hope someone else also likes this.

As everyone knows that WM even 6.1 stupidly tries to make adjustments to a custom wallpaper (Today -> use this picture as the background).
Is there a way to prevent WM from doing that?
If it's not possible, is there something out there that can take a pre-made theme and somehow change the background image and reload that theme again? I know you can create themes and all but I have a lot of wallpapers so I would like that to be done automatically, not manually one by one.
Is it possible? Thanks in advance.

if i got you right,you have problem with transparency...run default WM picture viewer,if you can't find it in start>programs look in windows folder for an app called "pimg", run it, find picture you want...hold stylus on the picture until menu appears or press right softkey select "set as today background..." after that set transparency to 0% and hit ok....you have a opaque wallpaper
THANKS!!!
Is there a registry value for the background? I'm thinking of making an automatic process with Mortscript.

I Deffinately don't want to discourage the development of you own app but if you don't want to spend a lot of time on this I believe it has already been done. If it is not to your liking, full steem ahead!!
Thanks for letting me know but would you please tell me if it has already been done then what is the name of "it"? Where can I find "it"? Did some search but to no avail.
@testdasi: "It" is ShantzTodayChanger, a small app written by me. Take a look at the link in my signatures.
Very nice app,
I'm interesting too, but to make a mortscript to do the same like this.
I want to change the wallpaper, using a registry key which contain weather and show the background according to the weather.
Could you explain which registry key and how to refresh the today screen please ?
Thanks in advance
Edit : only thing I've found in registry is that :
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today]
"Wall"="32"
"DPI"=dword:00000060
"UseStartImage"=dword:00000001
But I don't see how to give the full path, I mean 32 is for my 32.jpf file which is located in special path.
I don't see the 0% transparency and how to refresh screen.
Thanks
@ toniolol:
I guess to change the background for the today you have to overwrite some files in \windows, the stwater_320_240 and the stwater_240_320 (maybe in your device the files have other numbers, because these are related to your device's screen resolution ).
For more info on that take a look a this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=966239&postcount=4).
About the reloading/refreshing of the today screen, I don't know how.
Cheers.
thread will be moved to Q&A section
I have released the source code for my app here: http://tech.shantanugoel.com/projects/windows-mobile/shantztodaychanger
You can take a look at it. It will answer all your questions.
i have a touch and have changed most of my fonts how do i change soft key fonts, title bar font, sms inbox font and outgoing sms font i have tried tips from all over the forums and nothing is working
Check Settings+ RC_Mod, Font Changer 1.2.. and conduct a search in the forum, you will find MANY MANY programs for this.
yea, ive checked all of those out, i have wm6 and those still dont help. i dont want to change color or nething, just font. there has to be something in the registry somewhere... adding values or something to change sms compose and incoming font and soft key font. ive already done system font, bar font, pop font, oom font. the system has to get instructions somewhere as to what font to use
sms font can be changed in Settings+ and it is included in another option.
settings+ can change everything... at least on my device.
it seems like settings+ is for wm6.1 . i have a regular sprint touch running wm6. thank you for any help
hrm.
ok.. try these.. i managed them a while ago and wrote a readme file..
hope it helps
ok im getting frustrated, i just cant seem to be able to change the sms compose or inbox font or soft key. none of these programs wrk or have what i need and all forums point to the reg keys ive already changed lol it still seems to me that the program gets its instructions from somewhere and that that can be changed. ive pretty much given up on an outside program to change them...please help, im about to give up
its cool, i downloaded a new font, went back through an re-did my key entries and it seems to be fine i know the sms problem was solved and pretty sure the soft key changed...but ive been looking at this thing for so long its all starting to look the same anyway, thanks for the help, i appreciate it
lol. i forgot to attach the registry files to the previous post.. i wanted to help.
now, you might have already changed these.. but since one of them changed the sms font on my phone, i see no reason why it shouldn't do the same on yours.
I have a quick question I am sure someone could answer rather quickly, and I have tried searching to no avail. I have the Sprint Touch Pro and am happy with the phone as it is (for now). I just want to change the yellow selection color on the default Sprint Tf3d interface to a different color. How do I go about doing this? I am familiar with cabs, installing, registry edits, etc. So please if anyone could just point me to the right program to change the theme colors I can probably take it from there. Thanks.
Hey guys.
I am running a pre-release official VZW 6.5 ROM on my Ozone.
I have tried the SMSNoSentMsg reg hack to kill the "Message Sent" notification, but it isn't working.
Am I missing something in 6.5?
Thanks !!!
The Ozone has a package called SMS Retry which messes up all the SMS popups, etc. Also, HTCMessage does the same. Why they added that?? There is a way to disable it, I just have to remember where it is. The 6.5 TEST ROM is very similar to 6.1. Not sure why Verizon didn't at least add Titanium... Oh well.
EDIT: You can try to create a dummy HTCMessage.exe file and overwrite the one in \Windows with it. That may work.
What does HTCMessage.exe do and how could I create a "dummy" replacement?

Well, you can try to create a txt file called HTCMessage.txt, then rename it to HTCMessage.exe. It will basically be blank. Then copy it to \Windows. When the OS tries to execute it, it won't be able to. The package you want to omit when cooking is PACKAGE_Chief_W_WM65_HTCMessage and 0409 and 0C0A.
This ROM I have is very buggy.
Registry changes don't stick.
What would cause that?
I edit the registry.
Reboot, and the changes are gone

Did you App unlock the phone? Go to my WM6.5 Ozone ROM post and download the SDA Application Unlock ZIP file. Unzip and run SDA Application Unlock from your PC, hit ok.
That should app unlock and reg unlock the phone. Unless Verizon did something else to lock it, like FOTA or something. That would suck.
No dice.
Just tried it and still changes don't stick.
EDIT:
Some changes stick and work; some stick, but don't work; some don't stick.
Changes and works:
Start Menu Order
Changes and doesn't work:
SMSNoSentMsg
Change Reverts:
Icons in HTCVOICEMAIL panel
.... this is very strange....
i have a question for the o.p.
where'd u get the "pre-release" version of 6.5 and can u share the link or download for it??
I work for VZW. I am not willing to post or share it as doing so might jeapordize the forementioned employment.
Well for those interested.. I figured some things out.
SMS Sent Notifiation:
I had done the reg hack manually and also set it in SmartTweaker.
They were conflicting with each other. Removed option in SmartTweaker and the notification is gone.
Icons in HTCVoiceMail sliding panel:
In this ROM version the icons in the panel are the greyscale ones. I wanted the color ones. I tried changing the icon paths in the registry, but after a reboot they wold revert to greyscale.
I went into the registry at \HKLM\Software\HTC\Home\SlidingPanels\ and made a new key called HTCVMAIL and copied every entry from HTCVOICEMAIL only chnanging the icon paths.
I also had to change the datasource key in \HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\HTCVOICEMAIL to point to the new key I created.
The icons are staying the colored ones now, but the Missed Call / VoiceMail / SMS / Email indicators do not populate. They are static at ZERO.
I guess I have some more digging to do.

Its not really that much of an upgrade. Have a Panel config app and a few new apps. Basically a new WM6.1 No Titanium.
I am seeing some strage stuff.
If I have more than 3 panels, only the last 2 will show in a "collapsed" view.
so i am assuming that titanium wont be in the final release?
if thats the case, is it possible to add the titanium seperate from a different rom?
I am trying to reskin the dialer of an iPaq hw6945. I'm having trouble with the default background. I've tried any number of skins and skinning tools and none seems to change the default blue backround.
My first thought was to simply replace the background image. On the iPaq hw6945 that image is "dlrback_sqre.png". Unfortunately that seems to be a ROM image so even if I change the file attributes, I can't replace it.
Any ideas?
try making the files into a .cab...
How will that help and how would I do that?
I tried to install a couple of different dialer skins, an SPB dialer skin, and one of the DirkGently dialer skins. The former used a PC based exe installer the latter a cab. In both cases they failed to install their backgrounds. The buttons installed just fine but the background didn't change. So I thought I'd "hack in" the background.
So far I haven't been able to do it.
I unsuccessfully attempted the fore mentioned image swap, then I went poking around in the registry.
I found "dlrback_sqre" in two places in the registry. I replace those values with "dlrback_square" the name of my image in the same directory, but that didn't seem to do a thing.
Moved as not theme release.
Sorry... new to the board. I thought this would be the place to post.
Thanks bilbobrian for your help. It lead me in the right direction.
You're right all it took was a signed cab (and a background image with right name) to overwrite the background. I took one of the DG skins opened it with a cab editor and inserted the right file.
When I get some time I may just make a set of custom skins. I already know how to do the calculator, and WM player, although I might just make a skin for Coreplayer which I use more often. TCPMP was a such a great application, I decided to spring for the licensed version.
Hope to see the results of your work!
Good luck
