Color settings - Pictures and Movies bad - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development

Hi all,
Please, after upgrading from WM5 to 6 (Gullum V7) my prophet G4 is displaying pictures and movies somehow wrongly!
Looks like there are not enough colors displayed. Pictures from a digital camera were displayed perfectly in WM5 and now the look ugly like 256 colors or something. Same for the movies.
The data was not moved or converted - just on the same SD-card.
Is there a possibility to get the WM5 quality back?
Thanks,
Boris

If this would be a normal problem, others would have it too. Maybe your download is corrupt or you must flash again. I use this rom since the day it was offered here, and all is running well.

Did yo check your camera settings? It isn't default the highest quality, but ofcourse you can change that to your own liking.

No, No,
It is not the camera, It is displaying pictures and movies!
In WM5 they were looking fine and now ugly!
Can I change the colours (256 to 16,7 mio) or something?
Thanks

i had this thing once... i don't any more... ask what to do?? i just wait... its repaired itself...

I misunderstood, sorry. To my knowledge you cann't set the colordepth, but I can be wrong. It looks like some driver is corrupted. Have you tried to reflash? It's a bit drastic, I know, but it can save you a lot of time searching for a clue...

Same problem here. After I upgrade to wm6 touch X everything runs perfectly, but the screen looks a little bit pink. Just like when we change the color settings in a computer to 16 bit...
Does anyone knows how to solve thing thing? I already tryed to downgrade to wm5 and again to touch X and the problem remains...
Thanks

WM6 first impressions

I will be willing to answer any questions you have regarding wm6
my first impressions of it are pretty good... its running quite stable on my athena with apps installed
-spb mobile shell (does not work if autohide is disabled)
-spb brain evolution
-spb diary (installing this did significantly slow it down)
-wisbar advance beta 4
-resco explorer
-resco keyboard
-ae button plus
-wm5storage
-htc audio plugin
there are some more but im copying some files so i cant use the phone
intially its very very fast... much faster than wm5 noticbly so
It does seem to support native vga as in device info the resolution is listed at 640x480
i dont however see the terminal client for remote login... i could be lookin in the wrong place? i dunno
the included dialer skin / theme is quite nice
Everything seems to be working flawlessly i havent tried voip yet...
IE data speeds seem to be significantly faster for me... as compared to wm5
Ill be posting more later once i use it a bit more...
Mind to share Windows Media Player Skin
No issues found yet. The device seems *a lot* snappier, and indeed the GPS fix occurs a lot faster. I now also suddenly have a fix inhouse ... (allbeit near the window). In WM5 that simply would not happen.

This resolution is listed in the WM5 too, does your device have smaller buttons, menus etc?

no the icon sizes seem the same but when I try to install a qvga skin it takes up the same portion when running previosly in wm5 with truevga mode
so I think it is truevga mode
also while typing the text prediciont works real well
Ergh, can I get rid of the horrible GREEN comm manager?
Other than that, its wm6 again.. Ahh, sigh of releif.
If you change the theme of your device to the windows default and then restart it should get rid of the horrible skin. For some reason mine kept the phone dialler skin until I had restarted again, but now it's not so green any more.
My first impressions are that the device itself runs very well with WM6. So far no real hassles. The only thing I have discovered is that TomTom 6 now thinks my device is a new device so it looks like WM6 has changed the hardware ID. I am still able to use my device. I had to manually active the maps though and the TomTom application for downloading maps and updates won't let me change my device to the 'new' one.

Yep, the buttons are large. I'm not quite with you with the other comment, could you post a screenshot? Have you managed to get the smaller homescreen top/bottom bars without installing VGA hack software?
Apart from that, everything is a lot faster, typing on the keyboard is more responsive and I'm happy, deffo worth it just for the proper email client alone.

well for example if you use a plugin for a qvga device...
it wont fill the screen
it only takes the same amount of screen space as it would on a qvga device
ie about 1/4 of the screen (i would post a pic but i removed the software)
so that leads me to believe its vga
no VoIp
I can't find the option, did you find it?

Hi boinger66,
My main reason for getting the athena is because I do a lot of reading & editing on-the-go mostly pdfs, docs, spreadsheets & powerpoint files. Can you tell me if using these programs with lots of words on-screen (PIE, pdfs,docs, xls) whether there is an increase in the real estate? Is there less scrolling etc, just like you'd see with the vga hacks? Also, are options available to change the resolutions on the fly? Does using the "High Res" option in PIE make a huge difference than before?
Many thanks for your help
Abe.

The IE high resolution and fit to screen do help, but it also makes the test pretty small. As an example, when displaying yahoo.com, and set to high resolution and fit to screen; the whole width of the web page is displayed.
hey can i install antena wm6.0 in o2 atom life....pls try to help me out...

let me answer your questions....
1)there is no increase in real estate vs wm5 except in PIE
2)There no no option to change resolution on the fly
3)Yes it does (Pie and Hi-res)
these comments are based on my experience with uni and not athena but are valid for all VGA devices
Additionally there have been reports that VGA Hacks don't work with the later cores of wm6 (the release candidate)
faster than wm5. i had it on xda exec and when i changed to x7500 I kinda missed it but its back baby.
I was happy to see wm6 yesterday. i bought an iphone to see how it is and i was actually disappointed but wm6 made my day.
Thank you xda-dev.
Guys try using Mvr True VGA 1.2 it works..
i dont think you guys are understanding what i am saying
it is true vga
they just made the icons and buttons the same size for easy viewing
if you make smaller icons you get the realestate increase
for example if you install a qvga plug in it will not work...
it will take up the upper left corner of the screen only ... this can be observed by installing the htc audio manage today screen plugin
"Uni" VGA resolution file may work for Athena
I think some expert developers needs to extract the VGA<->QVGA toggle cab files or setup files from "Universal WM6 ROM" and give a try....
May be it will work for our Athena as well....
What do you guys say?
I was really hoping that new ROM is gonna solve this problem...and we will not have to use TrueVga type hacks...
WM6 is fast
Battery problem still here
The Battery problem is still here. You can see only 10, 20, 30, 40 % .... but never 94 %

VGA 144

Hi All
I have been playing with QVGA and True VGA and there is just a too big Gap between the two
One is 2 Big and the other 2 Small
previously on my Jasjar I set the resolution to 144 (Slap Bam in the Middle)
The problem with this is all the VGA Stuff as well as the most of the icons is missing but ..... IT IS REALLY the best RES to work, not too smal or big the sliders etc also looks just right
Shouldn't we start looking at developing for 144 Resolution and get it over and done with once and for all
OK - It's been a long time since I've done this, where do we start!!!!!!!
VGA 128dpi
Hi Skillie,
144dpi resources are hard to get so it would be quite a lot of work. I can easily provide you with 128dpi resources because they are supported by Microsoft.
I will provide you with the necessay files within the next 2 days.
Cheers,
Tobias
VGA 128
This is the installation for VGA 128dpi. Give it a try. This one is for English devices. If you need any other language let me know.
If you don't need the video call function then you can fix the phone by setting the registry entry
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled=0 and perform a soft reset.
Have fun
PS: When I will find the time I will provide a little program to switch betwen 192dpi <-> 128dpi <-> 96dpi
VGA 128pdi
Sorry it seems that there was a problem with the upload ...
Yeah Man!!!!!!
This is so cool - did you do it all on your own?
I will test this for a while and let you know but the size is nether too big or small - This I can live with this for more than 10 minutes - look at that real-estate!!!!!
Thanks u are Tops!!!
VGA 128dpi
I'm doing PocketPC development device driver development since 2002, so it was not a big deal
There are some minor issues with some dialogs, like the wireless config dialog but I will fix that when I have some time. Actually I got the resources from the QVGA 320x320 emulator, which runs at 128dpi.
Cheers,
Tobias
I have been playing with it - my Phone works but the other usual stuff not
but i am so impressed with this I will actually keep it on this resolution
A lot of work has gone into fixing the the cosmetics i'm sure to find the right files for this as well
From now on I am recommending this to all who complain about big Icons \(or too smal ones )
Excellent Work !!!!!!!
I bet this will be part of WM7!!!!!!
Cheers
Frikkie
I'm gonna sound like a real noob now .... can i just install this new CAb and try it? If i dont like it uninstall and then reset and its gone? Dont wanna bugger up my Ameo as I have it working how i like apart from the screen space!

I tried this utility quickly. Initially seemed ok. Today screen looked good as did the program files.
However when I tried to start Excel, nothing seemed to happen at all except the machine was apparently stuck on something. It stopped doing anything beyond putting the word excel in the title bar. Still saw the 3 pocket office icons on the screen and that's all that happened. Had to manually stop Excel with the memory tool. Uninstalled the vga cab and all is back to normal, including a working Excel.
I tried this. Excel and word worked perfectly for me.
The backlight glider also has no problem. HTC homeplug is perfect.
Phone application works although it leaves a space at the bottom. Also,I can't see the dialed number if it is not one stored in the contact database. Any way it still beats VJBigphone hands down.
Comm manager is messed up still.
Standard keyboard are too small, as expected. However the Tengo keyboard is still prefect.
All icons on tasksbar are perfect. Today screen icons are completely perfect.
The beautiful standardcalculator skin is gone, replaced by ugly looking round lines for the keys. But this is no big deal. I don't need the standard calculator anyway. HiCalc is the way to go, and HiCalc works well, other than a little gap at the top.
This resolution is way way better IMHO than ozvga or mvrtrurvga. The size of the taskbar and bottom bar is a lot more pleasing, and blend in with the application better, since theit sizes does not contrast too sharply from the button sizes of traditional applicationapplications.
The only real problem is, my navigation software iGO my way is completely messed up. What a pity. I like this resolution very much,but would hate to have to uninstall then soft reset to drive. After driving,I would have to install then soft reset to get back to this.
Is it possible to have a program to toggle,at least to remove the need for installing and uninstalling? I suppose it is not possible to avoid the soft reset?

I will provide you one this evening. BTW: TomTom for instance works perfectly with this resolution. iGO also doesn't work with 96dpi on VGA as far as I know. I'm sorry

Just surprised why it takes so long for this utility to come out. Very very fantastic!
Good... at last something new to play with since the WM6 flashing.
This is definitely the resolution that brings the X7500 to its fullest rights
As mentioned earlier someone had issues with the Excell but I also had a issue but everything works now
Cool
I'm looking forward for the toggle to switch the display modes. Thanks for your huge contribution.
Does it work with WM6? To come back to factory resolution is it enough to uninstall it?
THX so much!

Working TouchFlo (Alpha) for Athena (Szabi CubeLauncher)

http://blog.yam.com/leo2016/article/11682010
This is the original Link to a working TouchFlo (Alpha) I am currently testing on the Athena using VGA 96 DPI and the AP/PK's latest v2.0. I have included a zip folder of selected screen shots. I first found this link outside the forum, then learned that other devices on the forum are already working with it.
The program is installed via two CAB files, one installs Adobe FlashLite, the other is Szabi CubeLauncher. Perform a soft reset after loading. Launching is currently to a 'Home Screen' Start>Programs>CubeLaunch. The home background is a bit suggestive, so if you would like to avoid that image, copy the attached bg.jpg to Program Files>Szabi>CubeLauncher and over write the existing file. It can be any 240x320 jpg you prefer.
When you install the CubeLauncher, you also get a CubeConfig program which lets you customize any of the 5 faces of the 'Cube' which is relally a 5-sided prism or polyhedron. Screen shots of each face are included along with one transitional rotation captured.
TouchFlo has been on of the hottest topics around the forum with nearly every device scrambling to cook it into ROMS. Up to now, cooking was necessary as the base applications from the HTC Touch are dll driven. Since this application is Flash(tm) enabled, there is no need for booting with the dll's.
Launching from the home screen is much like the HTC Touch, with an UPWARDS swipe of the finger from the bottom or middle part of the screen. Sides are rotated forward and back with sideways swipes as you would intuitively expect. You can also open and close the cube with a single stylus poke in the bottom center of the screen. Close from the home screen by touching the lower right signal bar.
The first page is a 6 application program launcher followed by a twelve slot phone contacts photo gallery on page two. Page three is a 6 app media page while page four is primarily for MS Office Apps. Page five is yours to play with.
The developer's web site is in Chinese, but the translation indicates that trials of the demo and feedback are welcomed. You can download the demo at the following Link: Http://rapidshare.com/files/54065589/Szabi-CubeLauncherICON.rar
It is not a finished work (yet) but it is getting close. Please provide your thoughts and interest so the the Project Team can assess wether or not to work on this for our devices. As you will see, we can easily do more with VGA quality backgrounds and icons, but the basics are definitely there.
Kind Regards to the Developer
guau! looks very nice! thanks bro!!!!

If you need not change the dpi i am all up for it!
would someone be super kind and put on a direct link or something else than rapid share, coz i can't use that from my company
Installed on my X7500 WM6 ITA with 96dpi setting, here they are my considerations:
1. Graphic should be improved with an appropriate resolution of images used to build the interface. (I hope I can do it by maself)
2. Scrolling works well even if touching feedback should be more reactive on striping finger over display
3. Not all the applications link work. I hope I can customize by myself
4. Home screen works fine, images resolution apart.
Nothing I can say about RAM and battery usage...still testing it.

Tested with 128 DPI Settings and it looks and works the same, regardless of the font. Some of the demo apps are not set to the correct file links, however using the CubeConfig module, this is easily corrected. I just went through each screen and tested what worked an what didn't, then ran the CubeConfig and changed the broken links. Again, this is an (Alpha Demo) but it is working!
Bother! Was hoping you would say it didn't work
I really should know better than to install beta software, let alone alpha!
Can I resist trying it......
probably not !

Star Wars Sounds

Hi Guys, here is my first attempt at making an App for the HTC HD2.
There are 3 sounds for each character, 4 for Vader. Keep selecting the character to select the next sound.
This will only work for touch screen devices, i haven't included any code for 4 way button phones.
Hope you like it.
Bollux.
<edit>
Hi all, here's version 2.
I've listened to the requests and added some extra buttons after selecting the character, and hopefully fixed the install to Storage Card option.
Works on my HTC HD2. Should now install to %instdir%\Program Files\StarWarsSounds\ by default.
Regards
Bollux.
WOW! Thank you!
I'm so over the moon with this. I was really hoping someone would do one. Fantastic picture interface, so much fun!!
When you said it was your first app I thought it was going to be really basic - but it's absolutely great. You should post some screenshots!
There just seems to be a minor issue with the sizing of the Luke icon at the bottom that's causing scrollbars to appear on my HD2.
Cheers,
Ian
Screen Shots
Thanks, Here's a Screen Shot on the test Device.
Not sure why the sliders are there, the code to show the pictures should only fill the available screen size. I used the me.width and me.height parameters. The icons are a much better fit on the HD2 screen 480x800.
Vb code used,
PictureBox8.Image = StarWarsSounds.My.Resources.Luke_lg
PictureBox8.Height = (Me.Height)
PictureBox8.Width = (Me.Width)
All the icons are sized with similar code to fit width and height.
'Luke
PictureBox8.Image = StarWarsSounds.My.Resources.Luke_sm
PictureBox8.Height = (Me.Height / 4)
PictureBox8.Width = (Me.Width / 3)
I did take out the keyboard icon toolbar, that shouldn't be there..

Just ran it again and can't recreate the issue I was having (the Luke icon was stretched off screen). It's working fine now. I'll keep playing and see if I can work out a consistent way that recreates it (or maybe it was just my phone going a little loony!)
Minor thing, but I notice that if you tap multiple times (even when a pic is showing?) it queues up all the tap events - it would prob be nicer if it just played one sound at a time and blocked the event listener until a sounds has completed if that makes sense. (Accidental taps cause it to go on a while)
hehe - even the icon in the start menu is cool
Cheers,
Ian
Nice work keep on making more ones!
Not working...
Hi,
being a StarWars Fan for years, I just had to try your app, but doesnt work.
I see the graphics, but when I tap on a picture, I just get a short "beep" and the pic is flashing.
I can play the sounds via MSMediaPlayer w/o probs.
Using Tosh TG01, WM 6.5.5, NetCF3.7
Maybe you find a solution, would really love to use this little prog.
"May the force be with you"
Installed to device memory, still had plenty of space.
I have the latest netcf on an hd2, and I cannot really hear anything.
I see the main screen, click on any character, I see what is a brief flash of a bigger picture (with associated scrolbars around), that lasts a splitsecond, but then the program goes back to the standard view, and all in all i can hear anything.
I can open the files in resources folder ok with nmedia player tho
Hi bo11ux!
Nice Idea! Do you plan to do some Star Trek / Babylon 5 / Battlestar Galactica version of your work? Would love to see that!

Thanks, my son will love this! Installed on LG iQ (GW825) in memory, using COM2(21901) custom rom from Dark. Works great!
Works well on my HD2 with stock Telstra 1.72 Rom & Manila 2.5.2012. Worked even better once I took the phone off silent. Oops!! Nice work
Tested and works well in HTC Touch HD.

[Q] Running old apps in HD2... and screen rotation!

Hey all, got 2 questions...
1) So whats up with the screen rotation..
Recently got the HD2.. im left handed, sometimes i have the reflex of inclining to portrait mode the other way.. and thus the phone doesnt switch to portrait mode...
Also, why isnt it possible to just rotate the screen in all aps? Even older aps that ran in windows mobile of older versions?
It seems to me that the screen rotation is not well adapted on HD2 than Iphone, for example (even if i hate that phone)
2) How to ensure compatibility between old apps, like those i ran on my old Qtek S200, and HD2? i had magnificent chess applications, like opening databases explained.. (convekta opening instructor) i installed that app on my HD2, and even tho the screen is huge, the app run in like 20% of the screen and the rest is just a yellow background...
Thx for your answers
1) You can use BsB Tweak to make app rotate but some of app will be displaied not properly because of itself code (gues)
2) I think u can't. As I know all app are made for some kind of resolution of display. well newer phones are with bigger display and higher res so they opened app 1:1 in pixels.
Yes, i heard about the BSBtweaks, but heard also it is riddled with bugs for some, good for others.. why didnt HTC provide a good screen manager in first place?
Its such a shame for old apps.. its possible to run windows95 on new computers (with a little tweaking), isnt there something similar?
Idlove to run the convekta apps (http://app.downloadatoz.com/windows,games,40.html) on my phone, would consider donating to some guy who could port them (why arnt i an expert in portability, whyyyy)
Still nobody?
No chance of running old WM5 apps?
It's all about the screen resolution that the programs where made to display. That app was written for 320X240, so yeah it's not gonna take up the entirety of the HD2's 480X800 screen...there is no way around it. If an older program was written specifically for a certain resolution, then thats what it's gonna run under.
Yeah, ur right, its a resolution thing.. its just a shame, all the info and databases are there, the work is 90% done.. just a shame its coded for an old resolution screen
Isnt it possible to edit the file and redo the resolution part? Even if its streched and ugly and pixelled..
