can i change the back ground picture from the O2 bubbles to 1 of my own!

Hello there gtivinny,
Welcome to this forum.
It is filled with good Hints&Tips Tweaks&Tunings for the XDA
On this site, there are tools to unlock your XDA.
Go to the home page of this site.
Look on the right under Misc and find "Removing SIMLock".
And furtermore Read The Fabulous Manual (RTFM) or this forum.
It is possible to change the background picture.
a) Choose another Today Theme to change your backgroud picture of the Today screen.
b) Read your current ROM to a File. Replace Bootscreen image. Make a new ROM image and install this new ROM.
I always put (install) the programs on the Storage Card.
And I put all the downloads on a CD and all the CD's in a single case.
If something is not clear please ask.
thanks palmtest!
i have managed to changed the background picture, but its not a ture clear picture! (misty) is there a way i can make it clear!
as for the sim lock i have done that!!
i need to know if i can make it work in the same way with my orange sim like in my old p900!
i read a post further down on the section about flashing the spv m1000 onto the xda!
but its not a ture clear picture! (misty) is there a way i can make it clear

i asume you are using a picture you took with the cam
well you can take another picture and keep taking them untill you get one which is clear enough for you
or you could copy the picture to your pc and mess around with a photo editor and clear it up a bit
i need to know if i can make it work in the same way with my orange sim like in my old p900!

not really sure what you are saying here if yo mean if you can unlock your p900 then no
if you mean if you can use more then one sim in the xda then yes (but people seem to get hardresets from changing the sim )
Another way is to rescale your favorite picture to 240x320pixels. IrfanView can do this for you.
Copy this picture to your XDA and save it as a jpg in the directory "\My Documents".
On your XDA: tap start, tap settings, tap today.
Select "Use this picture as the background" and browse to a picture you have placed in "My Documents".
you can also have a look at:
http://www.pocketthemes.com

to see the most beautiful Today themesother people have created.
Have fun and good luck.
if i put my orange sim in my xda it works to make fone calls and recive sms,
but it wont recive mms!!
so i was thinking if i change it to the orange software (m1000) i would be able, and easier to set it up to work like my p900,
ie internet, e mail/pop etc!! and so on!
now on to the pictures, my picture i have loaded on the fone and set it to
come on my screen is blured, but if i veiw it in image veiwer its cyrstal clear! like it has a misty film over the top
i told you i was stupid, lol
you can set it up to supporting gprs and mms and such without changing rom all you have to do is to type in all the settings for those
like accesspoint and login and password and such
you can find all those settings and guides to how in the networking it forum on this site
just use search
hi,
Just trying out Sin's great work in Merging Win2k3Se roms.
He posted "Connection.cab" there, which was O2's V2R handywork. Whenever device connects white O2 used to become Blue O2.
I was experimenting with that file and wanted to have connection icon like PC .
I replaced O2 icons with that from PC. I know there is no real use of this notification, but then what the heck is hacking for...
:twisted:
icon
nice 1! how do u hack into the .cab file? what software do i need? tnx! mail it to me at [email protected]... all the software i need for editing pocket pc .cab files and icon's etc.. tnx
Trying to combine my devices and have been looking for the cab file. It shows on Rim's website that there is one but checked the web and cannot find it. Any help on finding this will be appreciated.
Ditto...but for my HTC S620
Try this one. No promises. Back up before you install, etc...

It installs on the phone, but when you click on the icon to configure, nothing happen
Well, it didn't for me, and I made sure to install in main memory as well. Anyone else have better luck?
won't even run it.. someone on the wizard thread even got to PIN stage..wonder how..
It installe don my phone
I will goto work and see if I can get the oin to change and see if it works. Also need to find a blackberry desktop manager for smartphone because the rugular one of course not detect it but it we need one to generate a pin for this. Anyone have any ideas?
I'd be delighted to test it with BES account, because it needs oly PIN and IMEI, but my qtek 8500 won't run the soft at all...
Installed fine on mine. Just dont have anyway of testing it now!
hmm an I crazy? I installed it on 8310 and 8500, it won't run on any of two.. Just an icon in the start menu that does nothing..
I spoke to soon. The icon does nothing (
I wrote to RIM, requesting a client status
Let's see what they say, eh?
lol, RIM is known for its ignorance to VIP vendors, not to say individual customers..
I have zero interest in Sprint Picture Mail. However, the account is sort of "hardwired" into the phone and there is no (official) way to disable it that I can find. It doesn't even show up in the list of accounts under Options in Pocket Outlook.
Does anybody know some sort of tweak to get rid of this account?
This would include...
1. Removing it from "send" options when emailing pictures (album)
2. Account chooser for Pocket Oulook
3. TF3D icon on the mail tab

I believe its an extra cab that installs after a hard reset. Try hard resetting, and stopping the customization.
If there are any Sprint cabs you want they are floating around here or ppcgeeks.

Well, that's definitely a solution, but I'd rather not have to hard reset my device. I have the settings just the way I like it now.
Does anybody know how to get rid of it after it's already installed?
just stick a peice of black tape over the portion that says picturemail on your phone...

I'd love to know how to dump this as well without a hard reset and manually adding the all the other useful cabs myself.
Thanks for posing the question, now to wait for a good answer....
Try downloading the cab from somewhere, installing it, it will say the previous version has to be removed, after it removes the previous version, hit cancel to not install the new version.
Might be worth a shot, although I don't know why you wouldn't want picture mail, it's not like you have to use it, but why remove features?

That is a good idea. I'll have to try that!
As for why, good question. I don't really know why it bothers me so much. Maybe just because I like less clutter? Maybe it's an OCD type of thing. :-D One of the first things I did was install Advanced Config and remove the sprint music/tv tabs because i didn't want to use them, even though i didn't have to use them. :-D

I'm definitely going to try that! Good idea.
As for why, I don't like the extra account when I got from my text to email accounts BUT the main reason is because it works like POO POO! I hate how it is so damn clunky in it's operation and even though I don't use it to send picmail, if I get a picmail it goes in there.
I applaud Sprint for trying but damn, try a little harder next time. I could have done without this particular crap a$$ feature.
I'm also very interested in dumping Sprint Picture Mail. Since we're limited to six accounts in Pocket Outlook, its being there keeps me from adding in another account I actually use, so it's frustrating that they would add that in by default. Tried deleting all of the registry keys, installed files etc that are done as part of the CAB installer, but it's STILL there! Haven't been able to figure out how to bypass the customization step, otherwise I'd do a HR in a heartbeat and see if skipping the CAB install would work, so still awaiting a solution to this...
i tried but sprint mail was not completely removed , i even installed the other version and it got completely installed and i could not un install it using memaid ! there should be a smarter way toget rid of this sprint B/S.
i don't think it can be removed this way.
you will need to load a custom rom without the picmail.
in the time you have wasted waiting for an easy solution you could have flashed and reloaded all of your settings.
Not everybody wants a to use a cooked ROM. You know, it really gets tiring when know-it-alls pop into threads and instead of contributing something useful just say "you should have just done x,y,z instead of doing what you actually wanted to do." It's already been established earlier in the thread that hard resetting (which running a cooked ROM requires) is not an acceptible solution. I do not appear to be alone in wanting an alternative solution. If you don't have a solution or a constructive comment, can't you just, you know, not post anything?
maan76 - Thanks for trying that method out. I've been too busy to tinker. At some point, I'm going to try scouring the registry and DLLs in \Windows\. Pocket Office is extended just like any other MS app -- through DLLs. So unless Picture Mail has been hardwired through some bizarre method or bundled together with a load of other useful features into one big unremovable DLL, I have got to think that there must be some DLL somewhere that can be unregistered somehow -- it just hasn't been discovered yet. I hope anyway! But you never know...

I echo thx2100 but will say the MAIN reasons I don't want to just run a cooked ROM right now is that the only real advantage at this time is they are light on the apps to free up ram. I come from the 6700 and 6800 and I'm in heaven with the speed and ease that the TP has when running multiple apps.
None of the new ROM's right now really dazzle me but if one comes around that is hot sh$# then I might run it.
With my stock ROM I have no surprises and only one really annoying feature which is the picmail but I can live with.
yep I totally agree thx 200,that there is no need for the cooked ROMs right now for the TP , why I am risking myself in a cooked ROM ?????????? to save RAM nop ! RAM is highhhhhhh and we have plenty of it in tp not like the mogul when the people were racing to build a ROM with higher free RAM after booting ! to save couple megabytes !, now with this strong hardware in TP , we have plenty of RAM .
the other reason which drove us before for flashing ROMs is the new applications (ex Manila for htc 6800 mogul ,u tube......etc) now we ve got the most updated versions of these software in the touch pro.
no logic reason for flashing ROMs at this moment , probably when new software will come up or super tweaks that require flashing ROMs , but definetely not now , we are still new and still learning about the Touch pro.I am seeing junior members building ROMs cause it is easy with this 288 MB RAM , I bet nobody was able to build ROMs for the Apache or the Mogul cause of the limited RAM.
we have a long way in improvement in touch pro before building ROMs.

Using MSCEInfo, I've been able to identify every registry change and file modification made by the Sprint PictureMail CAB and have undone them all to no effect. So, either some other routine is making changes related to PicMail or it's hardcoded into the ROM. Hopefully, it's not the latter...
Good luck and please let us know if you find out how to do it. I've pretty much given up and am just waiting to find a stripped down ROM for the Sprint Touch Pro that doesn't include PictureMail, Touch Guide Mobile or any of the other bloatware that Sprint decided we had to have.
Solution Removal Sprint Picture Mail
I found the solution this morning and I successfully removed the sprint picture mail and I also successfully added my yahoo mail
here what you need to do
1-install the sprint picture mail Cab
2-using resco file explorer or anything else go to windows folder
3-in resco explorer , unclick hide hidden files and unclick hilde file extensions
4-look for sprint picture mail cab , next to it you will find sprint picture mail.exe and some other files cary the same name.
5-this .exe is made by the second installation you just made not ROM related , but still you can not remove it ,for some reason.
so rename it into anything .exe , and do the same for the rest of the files including the cab , not delete them all you should be able to do so .
I did these steps exactly in that order and I opened the messages folder and I was soooo happy not seeing the picture mail account .
Good luck guys

Can you point out which specific cab you installed (was it just the one built into the TP ROM?) and which file(s) you removed to get this to work?
Also, can you confirm that this removed the Sprint PictureMail account from both the Outlook account list AND the Mail TF3D tab???

Well I seem to have completely broke my ability to get picmail so I'll hold back on any instructions. I'll do some more testing and may just have to install the freakn program again.... OR I might load up a bare bones ROM and load cab's I see fit, 1 will undoubtedly NOT make the cut.
Hi all,
didi you notice that every WP 7.8 ROM has too thin fonts in same areas? Let's say that I've noticed few - 3G and the rest icons next to the network level, live icon new message, mail notification, in-mail text, when writing a text message....etc.
Is it a bug or standard? I ask because for me, as a designer by profession, it doesn't look good at all - it looks ike a mistake..

fonts
I have seen that thread and tried to do it, but fonts somehow don't get replaced... I have no problem with the characters, only with thckness of the particular parts of UI, as I stated above.
EDIT: I found original WP7 Segoe fonts and replaced them all with WP Device Manager.
Thanks!
Can you tell us how you did that please?

Fonts
Sorry,
I didn't see any new questions 'till now. There's a thread link few posts up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1898893 and it explains what fonts you need to change. If you have ever instaled (and I'm sure you did) WP SDK Tools, there are all original WP fonts installed with it on your PC. Just extract needeed fonts from post above to some other location (temp) on your PC and install Windows phone device manager, gain acces to your phone, open windows directory on your phone, and just upload fonts to your phone. For me, sometimes it works, sometimes not, don't know why. Ypu can then refresh the view in device manager and see if your fonts (WP Segoe...) updated - if they have the date you transfered them to the phone.
If they do overwrite your device's crooked fonts, just disconnect, reboot phone (soft) and it's done. Even after that I found one more problem, fonts when you are writing message or email are still thinner, but not as much as before. Suppose if you edit segoeui.ttf and segoeub.ttf (bold) there's no visible difference, and that's why message text seems thiner when it should be bold.
Hope this answers your questions.
P.S. I have flashed TGZ's "stock: ROM from 1st October and it doesn't have font problems, but it's not filled with Nokia apps.. suits me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910276

hi abaksunovic
thanks for the explanation. funnily enough i also jumped ship to tgz's rom as i heard that it had no font glitches. seems good so far, just seem to have inherited the calendar not showing entries properly bug but that's less annoying than the fonts cheers si
