WM 6.1 Welcomehead Splashes - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

A little while ago I posted a blue windows mobile 6.1 welcomehead splash. A lot of people seemed to like it, so I made a few more and packaged them up. This package contains the blue one as well.
Enjoy

thanks was looking for these hahaha, and now i got em all in a neat package.

Thank-you sir. Much appreciated!

hey gc, how would i go about implementing these? theyre BMP images, while the default welcomehead.96 is a type 96 file or something. what do i do?

Hey, first off, they're .png images, not bitmap. Second, pick which one you want to use, rename it to welcomehead.96.png, and put it in your \Windows folder (you probably will have to use Total Commander or something equivalent as it may not let you just copy it to \Windows). That's it...soft reset.

Thanks, very good !

thanks love the black

Are these only for 6.1 or can we use these on a stock Windows 6.0 device (Verizon XV-6800)?
Thanks!

These are welcomehead splashes and can be used on any windows mobile device that uses welcomehead.96.png as the splash image. The reason why I labeled them WM 6.1 Welcomeheads is because they all say Windows Mobile Version 6.1 on them. You could use them running WM 6.0, but it'll say Version 6.1 on the splash lol.

for anyone who wants to download these directly on their phone, just go to www.wikiwhore.com/splash.zip
i set up a mirror there because logging into xda to download files takes a while sometimes, its easier without passwords...
gcincotta, thanks for your work, look forward to using pink...

Can you make the same thing for this picture please ? (I would like it in blue)

For what it's worth, making your own splash images is pretty easy.
All you need to do is make sure whatever image you want to use is the proper dimensions. For the Titan, that's 240x320. Even the simple "Paint" program that comes with windows can save files as .png files. All you need to do is find an image you want, resize it to the right dimension, save it as welcomehead.96.png, and then save it to your ppc's Windows file.
If you cook your own rom, you can have up to 3 splash images AND use a customized .gif animation. GIMP is a program that you can find for free that is similar to photoshop that will make .gif animations.
On mine, I have a picture of my son, then a picture of my wife, then an animation I made & finally a picture of the Libertarian Party's logo with my username above it.

Hi guys,
Do you know where I can find this one but with "version 6.1" written on it, like the rest of the pack you guys have?
Thank you

AWSOME new software for wm5/wm6 phones (FREE)

hey guys i just stumbled into a nice new(launched 1-1-08) program called Pointui it's a skin program for wm5 & wm6 phones. i am running it right now on my wing and i love the damn thing. but don't take my word for it check out what JASON CHEN from Gismondo had to say about it :http://gizmodo.com/339835/pointui-s...it-usable-best-wm-skin-app-ever?autoplay=true . btw guys i am in now way whatsoever affiliated to whoever made the program, i've learned so many things about my wing from this site that i just wanted to give everyone a heads up. again the program it totally free with absolutley no hoops to jump through.
btw the program has to be installed through activesync ( just so u know) also the link to the website it at the bottom of the review.
and here the homepage:
http://www.pointui.com/
and the .cab for installing
Very nice indeed, I used it for 3/4 days and got sick of
the non-costumizable look. I subscribed to their forum,
a LOT of people want it to be costumizable, so I
think i'll wait for the next release.
I quote from PoitUI Forum:
The Dutchman said:
-Today screen Plug-in, just can't miss batteryStatus, quicklaunch and WLM.
-Graphic costomizer of course
-Inversing the up/down sliding
-At the right top, a CLOSE button when running an app
-When pressing e.g. WiFi in top, then activating it.
-Removal of Operator name
-when one want's to go to programs-->games (or whatever secondary
or third or fourth folder) not having to press (select) it, but slide on it to
the left to go to its content
But after all, KUDO'S 8)

There is one problem for all these today-good-lokking-interface-programms = they are working with windows apps.
but like pointui - all is finally redirected to the crappy winmobile software - when wiritng sms or anything else.
comming there, can be very nice - cube, pointui, spbmobile shell --> but at the end we stop there where we could get by
-->
pressing - start-programms-messaging

There is no .exe (and there is no cake).
To install a .cab file on your device you just copy the .cab on the device and then run the .cab.

Windows 6.1 Professional Goodies

Hi, I have a htc touch as well and really liked the 6.1 Professional that Erofich bought to us... so I managed to make my StarTrek look really cool.. wanted to share these few things to people who use it..
1st is a black Vista theme.. just copy it and paste it in your phone's /windows folder and change it from the today settings..
2nd is my fav.. its called dcinobar.. which remove the bottom bar from the home screen in your 6.1... and that make's your wallpaper look really cool..
and 3rd is something that made me think to add this thread.. its to hide the sim contacts..
hmmmm
4th one which i am testing right now us called HTC X button.. whcih close's a windows rather then minimizing it
Edit:
thank you for pointing that out lewnetoons.. i have updated it with Tom_fix_WM5 Storage and have also tested it..and its working fine.. and some thing else I tried out was the SPB mobile sheel 2 that i am using in my touch.. its working great.... and to be honest.. much faster then the touch.. .. the link to download that is http://flmsdown.net/software/24298-spb-mobile-shell-v2.0.0-build-3275.html
i would also be editing more things as i use it....
incase you found anything here useful.. the complete credit goes to Erofich.. i just had these file's in my hard drive.. i hope Erofich know's that he did a major thing for the StarTrek.. anyways the list of 6.1 expansion is endless.. i am also using fring right now.. which is a VOIP software from fring.com... try it out..
took a small video showing off SPB mobile shell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jaQO6EZL80
wm5storage doesnt work on 6.1 for me.
wm6.1 pro
you need to be using the pro version, works fine for me
Hi,
thank you for the vista theme, its really beautiful!

and many more as this.. do search around.. am sure you would find a million themes..
Dcinobar
dcinobar doesnt install on my smartphone...it says that the program is not intended for this device....i have a smartflip runing erofichs wm 6.1 does anyone have dcinobar that works for this?
im not sure if it will work on a startrek, as i have a hermes, just thought id let you know that if you install
HTC Task Manager
then you get the additional functionality of XButton too aswell as the taskmanager
But its posted in the startrek forum....so i thought it would be meant for it.. any alternative program that has same function as dcinobar?
i was referring to HTC Task manager as stated in my post
i dont own a star trek but thought you all might benefit from it rather than using X Button..
however the thread poster does own a startrek, and the dcinobar application works for him, so id suggest just wait until he can support you with it.
Read the first post carefully - its for Wm6.1 Professional, NOT Standard!
kind of my miss there mickeyt500 ...i have updated it.. anyways do try out the 6.1 pro version.. its worth it.. i am loading it on my 2nd StarTrek right now..

Phone skinning different after 3.0.4

I have been working with TDial Designer and have had difficulties after 3.0.4 getting the dialer skin to look the same. Maybe someone else has overcome this problem and could give me some guidance. Here's what I have done.
Before, I was able to select BlueFrog dialer in TDial and have the keys skin to look like the screenshot20.jpg below (you can see the background transparent). Now with the recent DCD ROMs it looks like screenshot2.jpg thumbnail below where the keys remain black though the background is there for the process.
I have tried both the Old Vogue (Touch) and the New Vogue (BlueFrog) options in TDial and neither work. I have included the cabs for those if you want to test them on your phone.
I install the Kitchen using DCDs option for the new Vogue dialer checked (no OEMs replaced) and although it looks the same before I try to install the cab, it doesn't work like it used to.
I would be glad to replace the OEM with the one from 3.0.4, but I know DCD has been doing some upgrading to the functionality of the dialer and don't want to break some of the work that he has been doing (I like new and shiny stuff).
Thanks!
P.S. Disregard the top and bottom bars as one of them was using WisBar.
I don't use any third party dialers. If you have all the png files (for each number, function etc) you can simply copy them to \Windows.

I guess I could do that, do you copy manually or using UC?
If you use UC do you do it with XML or by copying the whole folder?
I do it via UC, but with a cab file I made. I don't use XML anymore with UC, I've cabbed everything. If you zip up all the files and post it, I'll make a cab for you.

Here ya go.
I used the TDial export to give to you, but I am not sure which you will need (old vogue or new). Let me know if this works or if you need something else.
REQUEST: If you are up to making another of your amazing wikis, I think a tutorial on how to make cabs for xml and file importing/copying (like this dialer for example) would be HIGHLY used and appreciated. I would definitely buy you some beer for that one (I may even take Boston Celtics as my new fav BB team).
Here you go.
If I have time, maybe I'll do a wiki.

That would be something that would be used across the board, and may be as widely referenced as any other out there. Plus it would be valuable for anyone with WM, not just Titans. Better that it be done by a Bostonian
Thank you very, very much. I will try to take this one apart and figure out what you did.
Did it work?

Yes, thank you so very much for making that.
With the re-release of 3.2.2 I was scrambling to get updated before I left work and just got a chance to sit down now to thank you. It works perfectly and will look at a few cab programs to figure out how you did it.
Is there a way that the phone popup reg entry could be affected by this cab? I have had that problem with my TDial dialers, and still needed to after this too. I wonder if some other cab I am installing has this key change as I assume you just copied the pictures I sent you to the windows dir. I will have to do some investigation to find where I am getting that change as DCD PM'd me and let me know that my bug was only on my side and not in his kitchen when it happened before your cab.
You are the man GC, I will buy you some beer next week when paychecks come in.

New Version MusicID Shazam 1.3.16 Tactile QVGA + VGA ( Fix Font)

hello everybody
I found a recent version VGA but I converted to QVGA, you certainly know this software, this version is unlike other tactile versions available to date
Admin edit: software removed after a complaint from the copyright owner, this software is not freeware or shareware and therefore considered warez, warez is not allowed on the forum.
​
Quentin Post:
I know, I know...I'm late to the party. Hopefully the quality of the release will make up for the tardiness. I'm still running a Kaiser (just couldn't convince myself the Diamond was actually better--and I'm still crossing my fingers that the Touch HD will get released with TMO 1700Mhz support).
Anyway, without further ado...this version of MusicID is based from the 1.3.16 source from 1800pocketpc.com which is of course released by AT&T. The changes are as follows:
Converted for QVGA (320x240) support. The conversion was done using image resources from the non-touch screen version so they look just fine. Furthermore all fonts have been converted as well. (I'd like to give credit to lepsyfou here, he did give everyone something to use at least even though the images looked poor and the fonts were large. Were it not for finding his original conversion that got me hooked on the app itself I probably never would have made my own conversion).
Removed UID information from query strings. For those that didn't check, the application for download on these forums (and other sites) actually makes all requests under the guise of someone's account (presumably whoever released the app). I won't post their account # here but suffice it to say that if they ever shut off the service everyone using that app would find it stops working. Hopefully that won't happen here.
Removed all AT&T specific features. This also means that all the buttons present after a successful identification have been removed. #1 they are completely useless for anyone not on the AT&T network; and #2 they were pretty much pointless (from my perspective) in the first place. As a side benefit see the next item.
Due to the removal of AT&T specific features I found it convenient to download a larger cover image photo for the album...maybe this will be enjoyed by others as well
Updated the help pages and removed redundant (or now unused) entries.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
If you've never installed any version of MusicID before simply install the cab. If however you have installed a previous version pay close attention:
Remove any previously installed version of MusicID.
It is absolutely MANDATORY to remove the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MusicID folder and its contents. If you're an advanced user and are using any of the conn* entries you can leave those but remove all others. If that last statement doesn't make any sense to you then simply remove the entire MusicID key (and all entries contained therein) prior to installation.
I highly recommend removing your \Application Data\MusicID folder and contents. This is due to the fact that the application now expects 150x* size images. The only issue with old images should be a slight off-center display though so it is up to you

Thank you.

No biggie thanks again
Was reading about this last night on Pocketnow.com. tried to installed and got the unsuccessful message. Was in ATT store today looking at the new Samaung epix, just to see what it was about, would never give up my Tilt for it, but is nice and love the cursor, very responsive.
Now if you have a Tilt, not sure about other cells, or maybe if you have ATT device dial from you cell *43# and it should get it for you. Also might look in your start up might get put there.
I love this program. It actutally found a song from a Musical from 1951 while i have my Sirrus on Broadway. Unreal.
Hope this helps someone.

Click Solitare (non-drag version)

Hi all,
since I was really missing the "click" Solitare on my HD2, I decided to extract this version from the one ROM I knew it from and made a cab.
The only difference with this version (of course its still MS solitare) was, that one could press on 1 stack and then onto the destiny-stack and it would go over - in oposition to dragging it over. I loved this change in the layout and just didnt want to live without it
Hope this helps someone at all ...
mods: if this file is somehow against the rules since i did not make it myself (i do not take credit for this solitare, only for the cab made) then please remove it. thanks
I've been looking for something like this for a long time. Thanks for the post.
Thank you for posting, this is really better than the original one on my i780
Hi !
Where is it installed

it overwrites the existing solitare.exe in /Windows
if you want the old one back, please backup first or i can make a cab with the drag-version too
Pretty slick. I like it. Makes it easier to use with one hand and while out and about.
