Thanks i installed, but cant seem to find the program in start/metro menu ?
EDIT: fixed deleting the "Dependencies" folder (or at least the VCLibs dependencies within the folder) in the Package Install folder - the one where you run the PowerShell command to install the app.
Then reinstall.

I am also facing the same problem. Can you elaborate on how to install? Thanks.

The design looks really nice... Are you going to add protocol to it, so that App's can launch to it or certain links, etc?

I installed but could not get a icon to appear to launch the program.
Reboot, delete the Dependencies folder which is in the folder that you downloaded and extracted.
Then re-run the set-up, this worked for me.

I like it
Pretty good design, got glitchy when i clicked on "about" and when i snapped it to the size and unsnapped it. Pretty good for a beta.

Should work , although I did just to make sure, it's only going to reinstall but with out the dependencies.
From my fingers to your face.

it would be nice if someone made a whatsapp version for win8

Hey where is it supposed to load the contacts since its on for like 5 mins and i still dont have my skype contacts

This looks great! After deleting the dependencies folder installed and runs like a charm! Good Job... Is there a way to add new contacts in this or accept requests though? I just don't see the option.
Great work!

i downloaded and tried to install as said in description but it was unsuccessful. then i noticed a weird thing.. All the buttons of metro changed. i dont know what went wrong and its really annoying to see such buttons.. Plez Help.
Screenshot on the Attachment!
:crying:

Worked like a charm! Thank you! For those trying to install: You can leave the Dependencies folder just where it was... for me it was working fine with, but gave an error without. One last thing: There doesn't seem to be an option to log out... I had to kill it via taskmanager lol...

Worked great. Thanks!
PS: Some other nice app available for Metro? I didn't find many... yet.

Any updates on this one?
it looks great, but i can't make/receive group calls

Changing the Start Button Icon

I've seen a lot of people asking how folks have changed the Windows logo to the HTC one and so on. I am one of those people!
There's a thread over in the Diamond Forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307, that discusses altering the taskbar icons.
I've had a read of that but it doesn't appear to discuss the start button. I've currently got a cab installed that gave me coloured icons on the taskbar but also the 3d MS Office style start button. I like the icons but not that start button.
Is there anyway someone could provide an idiot/noob style guide for altering that icon. I'd love to have the Vista start button on my HD (attached image) but have no idea how to go about it aside from I think it has something to with .dll files.
Can anyone explain this? Anyone? I know there would be a lot of people grateful for it! I've Googled and used the search but just cannot seem to find anything!
I've attached a mock-up of my ideal; I've got the coloured icons, just the start button to go!
I think....
the explanation is to edit the shellres.192.dll file here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2791169&postcount=3
using the process here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2791165&postcount=1
No?
EDIT: I am going to try myself this evening with your very nice icon...will let you know how it goes, if you don't beat me to it!
I believe you can do it with Wisbar.
Wisbar is not free.

you had a chance at it yet? did it work?
...........
This is the thread I used to alter the Windows logo to a HTC logo among other things in this thread. It's dead easy,
1) Unsign the file using Unsigner linked to in the thread further up (on page 2 of the Unsigner thread there's a .bat file that I found gave a better idea of whether it had worked or not).
2) Open the file in Reshacker and go to Icon on the left hand side and click it to expand it. Go to number 292, click it and it will expand to show 1033. Click 1033 and it should be the start menu icon. Right click on 1033 and select Replace Resource. Select Open File With New Icon and find your new (resized) icon. Double click it and it will show a preview of new and old. Click Replace in the bottom right corner.
3) Save the newly modified file.
4) Sign the modified file using Ssigner linked to in the thread above. CHECK THE TEXT FILE IT CREATES TO MAKE SURE IT SIGNED OK. Don't forget this bit as it will mean a hard reset if you do (as I learnt).
5) If you've not installed SDKCert.cab some time in the past. download it from here, copy it to the phone and install it.
6) Copy the file to the Windows directory on the phone using Resco Explorer or Total Commander.
7) Reboot the phone.
how did you copy shellres.192.dll? it says "Acces denied" even with resco. No chance to renaming also
To get the file in the first place you need a program called ROM Extractor on the phone to get the file from ROM. There are also different varients of the ROM for different locales. There's a description in the link above.
thanks for your efforts but seems a little complicated TotalCommander did the trick, resco seems to have some security check problems
anyway, unsigner doesn't work so i'm stuck

Try the .bat file in the second page of the Unsigner thread. Copy Unsigner, the .bat file and the file you want to unlock to the same directory and double click the .bat file. Also, because the file is from ROM make sure it's not marked as Read Only when you get it to your PC before unsigning it. If it's from ROM they're usually Read Only for a start.

Not yet. Just got back from work. I need a different job...
I will try tomorrow. I have been meaning to give this s shot for a while now, and the icon you posted is what I have been looking for.
the bat only automize the process... It doesn't work anyway as it still use UnSigner
Do you have the cab to change the other icons? I had a quick look on the diamond thread but couldn't find the exact ones you have! Thanks.

True, but when I tried Unsigner on it's own it didn't give any feedback as to what it was doing (or if it did I missed it) so I changed 150+ icons only to find it hadn't been unsigned and therefore couldn't be resigned. At least with the batch file I can check it's been properly unsigned before making changes.
Does it give you any error messages when you try Unsigner?

that's the point: no errors from unsigner, but resourcehacker can't open my file (not valid bla bla bla)
In which case I'd say the file hasn't copied across properly from the phone. Reshacker should be able to open the file and allow editing even if it's still signed. I'd try ROM Extractor to copy the file from ROM to elsewhere on the phone and then copy that across to the PC.

uhm seems reasonable
but I don't want to extract all my whole rom for a stupid dll... I extracted with total commander, isn't supposed to work this way?
Nope, certain ROM files can't be copied using normal file copy programs. I've found that they try and copy, then say the "File already exists, do you wish to replace?" and then whatever you select you're left with a 0k file with nothing in it. The ROM extractor doesn't copy the whole ROM. When you launch it you get a list of all the ROM files. Double click the one you want to extract, give it a location (\ usually for the root directory of the phone) and a name and click Extract.
Ok, I will try. But how to replace when modified? If I can't even read it, how will I replace it?

Finally, a theme for Roger's HTC Dream Owners

Guys, I've got the Hero theme (created by Soulife) running on my Roger's Dream:
Actual Image of phone (i know you would want proof):
​
Some screen shots taken with ddms:
​
Instructions:
(Of course what you do with your phone is on you, blah blah blah so don't blame me if something goes wrong)
1. Get root on your RD (Roger's Dream)
2. Download the soulife's Hero theme for Roger's Rom
Media Fire Download Link
3. rename the download to "update.zip" and place on the root of your SD card
4. Power your Phone off
5. While Holding down Home Button, start holding down Power button as well hold both until Rogers Logo appears
6. Make a Nandroid Backup
NOTE: if step 6 gives you an error saying sdcard not found, just try it again, mine usually give an error 2 times then works on the 3rd
7. Once the Cyan's Recovery image loads, select "apply update.zip from sdcard"
NOTE: if step 7 gives you an error saying sdcard not found, just try it again, mine usually give an error 2 times then works on the 3rd
8. Once it says done, then select the option to reboot.
The phone will reboot and may time 2 - 5 minutes at the HTC logo, this is normal. It it takes longer than 10-20 minutes use the nandroid backup to do a restore of your boot, system, and data ".img" files via adb and fastboot.
Very cool!! how is the performance? I've read some postings that say it was clunky and others saying it was fine. Right now I'm running Open Home and have a few themes for that. Sometimes it seems like it has to catch up to load the home screen but for the most part it's just as fast as stock (from what I can remember).

This works great! Make sure you install Weather Widget 2.0 to get the full effect (hero style flipper clock and weather)
Hey, just wanted to say thanks to mburris, for the post. Was a simple update to do. I suppose it's a good teaser until we got some ROM's happening on the Rogers Dream. I haven't found any significant lag with this theme myself. My biggest issue was, I was using ahome as default, and it took me about 15min to figure out how to change it from the default. Although, some settings will show up in either desktop mode, for example a different dialer (much better than the original colours)
This has already been done the rom is called MAXIMARv1.1
Update went swell. Easy as strawberry-rhubarb pie.
Some screenshots:
My only problem with the theme is the music widget is still white. Not a big deal, but maybe in an update?
Thanks a lot!
This is so very awesome. Thanks for the work!!
Update took 10 minutes
What does this all change?

Well, I am using Weather Widget Paid version.
You could also use Beautiful Widgets.
They are pretty much direct copies of the Hero widgets.

hey guys, quick question: how would we revert back to the original theme if we choose not to keep this one?
Cool! Thanks mburris, works exactly as described.
A few questions for a noob if someone could help.
Is rooting the Rogers Dream the same as what is posted in the how to forum?
As well as using nandroid backup and cyanogen's recovery is it all the same steps as what is posted in the how to part of the development forum?
Thanks in advance!

Is this what you want:
Here's how:
1. Connect your device via USB
2. Get to your ADB shell
Code:
G:\SDK\tools>adb shell
3. get into your system\app folder
Code:
cd system/app
4. Remove existing Music app
Code:
rm Music.apk
5. Exit the shell
Code:
exit
6. Download the attached Music.zip file, extract it to your folder that adb is in, in my example its in G:\SDK\tools
7. from a command prompt, make sure you are in your tools folder and type:
Code:
adb install Music.apk
that should do it, no reboot required

[MOD][SCRIPT] Auto SMS-MMS Enabler for Tablets (Any ROM!)

Hey guys
As you might know, many people want to enable SMS & MMS on their tablet.
Unfortunately, until now someone needed to manually edit your framework-res.apk
But not anymore!
I made a script that will do it automatically on any framework!
3 Steps for noobs (fully-automatic version):
1) Download it (v1.2 for noobs)
2) Connect your device to pc (usb-debugging enabled)
3) Extract and run LAUNCH THIS
4 Steps for smart people (semi-automatic version):
1) Download it (v1.2)
2) Extract & put YOUR framework-res.apk in the same folder
3) Run LAUNCH THIS
4) Push the SmSframework-res.apk to your device (don't ask how, i will also make a version for really noobish people, which will pull and push your framework automatically)
-----------------
CHANGELOG:
2012-03-02: Made script more clear to understand, added auto-reboot on noob version
-----------------
NOTICE:
Dear noob-version users, currently the script does not mount the system partition automatically as R/W, if you got such an error, please use Root explorer to mount the system as R/W
P.S. Dear Americans, most carriers block SMS in the US
I'll wait for the (version for really noobish people, which will pull and push your framework automatically) 'cause I'm a lil lazy right now LOL.
I will do backup, and give it a try! I'll be back to let you know how it went, Thanks.

But everything else on the script ran but with errors. I think the problem file is the "edit.exe"

Im using EOS 1.0.0 ICS with my MZ601.
I generated the new SmSframework-res.apk,and pushed it as framework-res.apk
There is no stock sms application so i installed Gosms pro from market, and the sms feature works pretty fine with it
however my original framework-res.apk was 7.98 MB in file size, whereas the new generated Smsframework-res.apk is 4.46 MB
Why is this difference in file size ?? Is anything stripped from the framework-res ?

Spotify Unlimited Skips [ROOT or ADB]

Hello, XDA! Today, I'll be showing you how to get unlimited skips/song select in Spotify on the OnePlus 5.
Code:
/*
If you are rooted or you have adb enabled and installed
on your computer, skip to the bold section of this post.
If you don't have this done or you don't know how to
do this, read the whole post.
*/
This will require root (root guide for OnePlus 5 here, I recommend using Magisk and not SuperSU.) or ADB.
To enable ADB, just scroll down in Settings to About phone, scroll all the way to the bottom and press Build Number 7 times; this will activate Developer Mode. Go back to the main page in Settings, Developer Mode is near the bottom. From Developer options, you can activate USB debugging (which is ADB). You can download Android SDK Platform-Tools from here. Extract the .zip, go into the folder named platform-tools, and open CMD or Terminal (CMD for Windows, Terminal for Mac/Linux) and drag ADB into the CMD/Terminal to run ADB.
Code:
adb shell
would be
Code:
(drag adb file here) shell
but would show up as something like
Code:
/Users/username/Downloads/platform-tools/adb shell
Once you have rooted or enabled ADB, you can download a new app called jOnePlus Tools [adb/root] from the Play Store. jOnePlus is a modding application for the OxygenOS 4.5.x.
When you open jOnePlus Tools, it will ask for SuperUser Rights (if you are rooted). Select Grant to allow it to 'change' the system. It will then bring up a message that says Permission Denied and it will tell you to grant WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS by running
Code:
adb shell pm grant net.jroot3d.joneplustools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
over USB. You can either connect your phone to your computer over USB and enable USB Debugging and run
Code:
adb shell pm grant net.jroot3d.joneplustools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
on the computer. If you are rooted, you can skip the whole ADB step; just press GRANT WITH ROOT.
Once you've enabled permissions with adb or root, press the gear icon near the top right, press General, and then Enable experimental features. Go back to the main screen of jOnePlus Tools and press the square-circle shape near the top-middle of the screen. Scroll to the bottom and press 4k (2160x3840). It will lag a bit for about 20 seconds at most. Close Spotify if open. Now launch Spotify. (If your home screen appears to be messed up or corrupted, DON'T FRET! It may be confused because your device is telling it a different resolution. This is temporary.) If you can't click on home screen icons correctly, you can hold the home button to launch Google Assistant and say Open Spotify. When you launch Spotify, it should allow you to have unlimited skips/song select. This is because your Spotify sees your screen size as 2160x3840, a tablet size. The tablet version of Spotify has unlimited song select and skips. Spotify only checks your screen size when it launches, so you can go back to jOnePlus Tools and put you resolution back at Full HD (1080x1920) Default. If you close Spotify, you may need to change your resolution back to 4k again before launching if you want unlimited skips/select (and then back to Full HD Default after launching).

Thanks, but an easier solution is to directly install "spotify dogfood" : see dedicated xda thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-spotify-dogfood-ad-free-spotify-t3632423
edit :
This mod works without root, it's just a simple apk to install
edit : they even have their own updater for the spotify dogfood moded app :
download it, install it and then you can have spotify dogfood always up to date.

Pretty much yeah, you need a VPN only to register an account (and pay for the premium package).

Thanks, but an easier solution is to directly install "spotify dogfood" : see dedicated xda thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-spotify-dogfood-ad-free-spotify-t3632423

This mod works without root, it's just a simple apk to install

You don't have to get premium, just register the account with a VPN and every month log in to that account from an IP where Spotify is available (it resets the 30day limit for free users)
