Excalibur in 96 DPI - HTC Excalibur

IMO it looks really really nice but of course all the system icons aren't adapted to the new resolution...if any of you know how to edit DLLs and can make an icon set that is adapted to the new resolution it'd be greatly appreciated
to achieve the resolution all you have to do is set the registry values [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsY] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsX] from 131 to 96 in decimal

Call me crazy but I can't see much of a difference in graphics aside from the extra real estate, which is evident through the additional menu items listed per screen. Has your device been less stable or slower since making the switch? Also, I heard that you need specific .dlls to make the top icons fit properly, is this true and if so where did you get them?

the device is completely stable....and the top icons never worked except the pngs from the rinku topbar. and those are cut off a bit because of the new settings. i know u need specific dll edits and im hoping one of the big dogs could cook a few up for me. ALL the system icons are jagged under 96dpi...and the call screen is also out of wack. i like it cause it looks nicer and makes file browsing easier...so yea. imma keep up hope.

bump x 2.4

so no help with this 96dpi issue? sheesh. the vox people already have a fully functional 96dpi rom....

so I'm never gonna have anyone take this request into consideration huh?
aiight....

joining prayers...
Hey, nice finding man!
If I had any skills as programmer I´d be working on it, but since I have none, all I can do is join you in your requests/prayers... lol
Seriously, can any skilled willing programmer/developer give the guy a help? I guess many will enjoy it.
Cheers.

@ AbsoluteDesignz
I´ve got a little question on the dpi matter...
Do you know if is there any intermediate (between 131 and 96) dpi that can be set without messing the phone up?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers.

ive tried 108, 120, and even went as low as 72...every setting aside from the 131 has the same issues. White System Notification Icons, Jagged system Icons and STK icons out of wack (in 96 DPI the only icons that work are the default ones and in other settings the proportions are off)

I'm with you guys! Let's make this happen!

you need to edit them to get the icons working

well the main point was that I don't know how to edit the dlls to get the icons working....i figured someone might...so I was asking for help....

you can use this

Thanks rickwyatt, I´ll give it a try.
Unfortunatelly, I guess I´ll have some progress only by Sunday, since I´m loaded with work and deadlines...
Cheers.

thank u all for any and all assistance

i dont know how to edit DLLs so i never tried it. in the vox forums they successfully did it so im sure it'll work for the Dash. truth is im waiting for one of the more knowledgeable people to successfully edit the DLLs....heres to hope...
and the basic gist of the new look can be seen on the first page or in the Vox forums

not this one
i'm not looking for this one above.
the Dailped i'm looking for is this one like in the mus_rus INDIGO version.
But it's the same,i've changed just the taskbar color with my theme.When i've installed it on my p3600,i've the same color ( green task bar ).
Looks nice, works on the last anz dopod rom.
However it really slows down the device.
Start up time is allot longer.
Probably because everything is installed in the windows folder.
Anyone know if it can safely be uninstalled?
Does it work with the Hermes?
Can someone attach it to this thread? Rapidshare is a pain sometimes!
Update: It works with Hermes.

I am not sure why mun should do that
why would he post a cab to his work so you can use it in someone elses ROM? Have you asked the cook of the ROM you are using? Bit rich if you ask me.

Remember that mUn also took someone else work into his ROM...thrust me. It is about give and take and share...But for ROM MAKER, it is quite understood they always want to keep their work within their ROM jst to maintain their uniqueness and fans. So it is up to mUn I believe.
I remember nUm once found out how to enable the 6th tab of Kaiser Home Plugin. He keep it for himself for a week....he is sure his ROM with integrated Kaiser 6tabhome plugin is going to be release tomorrow so he post the cab over the kaiser plugin thread only to find out that the plugin have so many problem and his tweaking for 6th tab also mess up something I believe he cancelled the release of the ROM...Now that most of the home plugin problem already solved...I am wandering if he still use his original problematic 6tab?
Fair point
Fair point guys. Sorry for my rant
Bug with slide2unlock.
When i touch the dial button (green) it launch directly the last call i had passed ...
removed with regrets
Seems to be a bug also with SPB Phone shell.... or at least i think its phone shell. When powering on from stand by the phone automatically dials last number. Before hard reset the phone would just auto dial every 5 minutes.
Just curious as to why the cab is 3mb in size.... is it because of the 3G stuff or just the graphics ?
Nogs
need this 3g dialer too,
mUn, please cab it,,,,,,,,,
Thanks
This dialer is from duronmarcel, try to search for is work in this forum.

SlimChome 2 Redesign (updated May 5)

I decided to redesign my original SlimChome mod, and it came out like this. The cab below including the .cpr file, the custom time.png seen on the first panel, the custom LCD font, as well as the background used. Please let me know if you find any bugs!
Since the xda-developers database is having issues with uploads right know, here's a link to sendspace for now.

Whats different? I dont have the original slimchome but is it just a mix of the WM7 and original ones?
A lot of things here and there, the notification panel is noticeably different (no pun intended).

Speaking of redesigned, are you still planning on changing the WM7 chome?
do me a favor plz? can you make the clock LCD by kanava. and gimme that file that removes the boarder on Chome photos.... plz and thank you.

OrganicM i am liking the new SlimChome but for some reason my clock does not show up as a digital one. Any ideas why?

I *MIGHT* have found something....

Ok, first of all, can someone point me to a screen capture software? I know that smart tool kit can do it, but i dont like all the other things it does. Ok, now on to the thing i *MIGHT* have found.
Each one of the sliding panels has an icon on the top left that represents what its function is for that panel. I found a way to change those icons. Im not sure if this has been done, but if it hasnt i wouldnt mind showing you guys how to change that icon. Once i get a hold of that software, ill take a screen cap to show you guys. The easy way to change them to a color icon is by simply relocating the location of each icon using the registry. Windows Mobile 6 has color icons availalbe of all the white icons we get with a stock WM6.1 device. I dont know why MS or HTC for that matter, chose the plain jane white icons, but i decided to just map them to the color icons in the set that MS includes. Not only does the sliding panels look nice with the NRG icon bar on top, but if you really wanted to change the icons to whatever you want, you can do that. By simply using a PE explorer to view the bronzeres.dll, and moddifing the icons by injecting them in place of the ones you are linking to.
Once again, im not sure if you guys know how to change them or not.
for the software, check your pm's
For screen capture I use
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2227563&postcount=14
As far as changing the icons on the panels do you mean like this
Notice that I change the icon when a panel becomes selected.

Exactly like that. I know you can change the icon, like one can be 2301;2300 on the registry so it becomes "active" when you scroll to it. Ive been digging into the .dll's and registry ALOT the past 2 days, ive become....obsessed with it, really. Thats why i thought i might have "discovered" something.
Ive found some "Developer Modes" as well. Enter code *#*#364#*#*, and it displays some info that i dont really understand.

yea and you can also use icons outside of the .dll too.
look at these screenshots and see that they are nothing like the default ones that come in the .dll

Hahaha
very nice Dude, switching up the dlls lol...
Yea i changed all my GF's icons on her Dash. Heres something off topic, after people have seen the WM6.1 and the hacks ive done to my phone, ive made about 6 people buy the S620...lol.
On another note, how on earth do you change the background on the start menu? Ive seen some posts about this buy they all seem either confusing or wrong. Also, is it possible to change the icons on the top when the start menu is showing so that its consistent with the home color icons by NRG?

Can you post up the changes to make to the registry to enable all of these icons you're using? I'm assuming they are the stock WM6.0 icons?

This problem with white windows I have see before and has to make with the size of the icons. But I opened the cab and the icons size it was ok.
I didn't check the manila files but I think cerato didn't made something wrong.
We have to let him to find the solution. His work its perfect.
I would like to put his icons in my list.
I can stay more than 2-3 days with the same theme and Icons so I need more.
@Cerato, If you want to make my SQ transparent analog clock to look better, make it in photoshop 3 times copy-paste one over the other.
After that the poor graphics look match better.
I like also the original BBExtreme 5.0 icons. Maybe tomorrow I made them a Cab for HD.
Also Giannis86 will make his themes availably for Blackstone. So we will have more themes

Sorry to hear that, but the icons work on other roms with new manila (panosha, Leo, NRG, Dutty). Just have no idea what could cause this.
If you don't like the banner of Internet tab change it with cab attached below.
Think they can go in conflict with the mun_rus 4allbackround?

Thats could be due to your manila not being cfc compressed, but I find it hard to believe that someone would still be making rom without using cfc compression.

Titanium Layout for WM 6.5 Phones

Here is my rendition of the titanium sliding home screen.
I have included a cab file to install. After install, reboot, and then go to settings-->home screen-->and on the Layout, pick Titanium Media Topbar.
This was installed on NRG's 6.5 energy ROM so i don't have any testing on whether or not this works properly on ookbas 3Volution ROM. It also is intended with the topbar in mind. I'm not sure what it will not look like if you dont have the topbar already installed. Please use at your own risk. It should uninstall cleanly for anyone wanting to remove it, however if you have installed rickwyatts version it may leave behind some reminants, so you may want to try and uninstall his first before installing mine.
Thanks go out to NRGZ28, rickwyatt and frauhottelmann with their assistance in getting this layout to this point.
There is a settings panel right now, but it doesnt display any images. If anyone wants to talke this, let me know what a fix would be and i will include it in the .cab.
edit: I've included reflective gmail and yahoo mail icons as well for the mail panel
Here are some screenshots. :

A Because its the titanium panel layout
B Because you are on the time panel, not on a contacts panel.
its quite an easy change if you're familiar with editing the registry. go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Chome\CClock then edit the two values SK2TEXT and SK2URL..... change the SK2TEXT to read Contacts and the SK2URL to read :MSCONTACTS then exit your registry and if you have chome refresh use that. otherwise reboot your phone.
