I searched for a while but couldn't find many VGA skins for Pocket Player, especially for fat fingers, so I made this one to suit my needs.This is a new skin I'm using mostly for the car. The idea is to maximize screen space with visuals and info, and use the hardware buttons of the FUZE to handle the controls. Just thought I shared...
NOTE:
The skin is named default_vgals.psz so it will overwrite your default installed landscape skin. This way it is automatically selected when tilting the phone. If you don't like that, just change the name ;-).
[EDIT 1/8/11]
1. Added a new version with some tweaks and the MENU BAR at the bottom, which seems more useful than the slider.
2. Also added a small Mortscript that enables selecting between separate PocketPlayer libraries. The idea is to split up large music libraries into different folders and let PP compile individual databases (metadatadb) in each folder. This greatly improves the performance of the application when browsing for music. For example, in my case, PP would struggle with my 3500+ song single library, taking on average 10 - 20 secs between each operation. After dividing the music into 4 separate folders (~1000 songs each), response is almost instant. You need to change the name of the folders in the script to match the actual folders you create, or it won't work. Then make sure you run the library scan on each folder. You get the idea...Try it...but remember to always backup, etc...

So the skin is only for the music program Pocket Player, which uses skins of the format *.psz (just a zip file renamed). The file just need to be copied to the pocket player installation folder, and then selected from the options menu. Also, this particular skin is only for VGA devices (640x480), but I don't know if Pocket Player will try to render it in your device (800x480). That said, let me see if I find some time to make a WVGA version this weekend...no promises...

I want to open Xnview directly from Camera mode instead default Video & Picture Program from Pocket PC (pimg.exe)
does somebody know how to do that?
Well, it is free, but I'll keep Resco Viewer, thanks. I keep getting stuck in slideshow until it finishes, have to do way too much screen tapping to access things, etc..
Generally use Resco but do be honest this does more when it comes to image conversion and editing and is a smaller footprint, even to the point i don't have Resco installed.
Thankyou OP for the headz up
I tried, but will defintiely stick with Resco. xnview pocket might do more things, but I find the UI not very user-friendly at all, sorry.

Is it worth keeping around in the remote chance I might need to edit a photo? I guess.. I have it installed to the 4G storage card, so no biggie. Otherwise.. ;-)
for playing music there are two standard options.
the tf3d player and the wmp10. both have problems.
the tf3d player cannot adjust the volume. so you will always have to adjust the total volume.
and both do not have a good library.
i would like a library that shows all the music with artist name and title, and offers you an easy way of playback. with keys you can use with your fingers.
this is an example.

unfortunately pocket player crashes after using it for 1 minute. I do not know why.
so does anyone have a solution, or maybe another player that gives you the same functionality and works.
hi,
if you want to have a very good (maybe the best) mp3 player, you have tu use S2P! and thank A_C for his good job!
cu
I still like and use the original classic HTC AudioManager which runs on the Diamond quite happily alongside the new one.
Very easy to use with fingers and very clear library lists.
Other than that I use Pocket Player and, although slow to start, it has never crashed on either standard or Bepe's rom.
Audiomanager in VGA (bad screenshot - looks much better on Diamond screen!):
It's amazing how you can buy a top end mobile phone with TWO MP3 PLAYERS built in and yet you still have to download third party software to get the job done properly!
It seems that HTC spent so much time pretending to be the iPhone that they forgot to add functionality to such an important feature!
Anyway, I'm off searching for the vga HTC Audio Manager!
as i said, the pocket player crashes on my stock nld rom.
the htc audio manager gives a lot of problems as far as i read in the forum.
the s2p (free by the way) does a nice job.
the volume slider is a bit insensitive, but you can use the up down on the dpad. choosing a number with your finger sometimes makes you choose a number that you did not want, but that is practice
Hi All,
Been kinda scarce around here lately, since I was checking in today to see what's happening i thought I would share some stuff I put together. The tsk is based off a wallpaper I found at deviant art I think it was from Ken Saunders from mouserunner, The images in the icons i just picked up off the web and tweaked them to suit my needs.
I know everybody is going to manilla 2d but personally I'm going to wait till all the bugs are worked out by the genius's around here before i switch.
Enjoy

What's the name of the program that's at the very bottom of your phone. I like it. It looks like a continuation of the HTC home plugin.
Do you know if you can customize those shortcuts or anything of the sort?
its battery status (now home screen plus plus ), and yes you can pretty much do anything with it if you can set up an xml file.
can these be loaded with HHC (HTC Home Customizer)?
sure, just drop the file in the correct folders in program files, htc home customizer, and then choose whatever you would like.
OK, thanks.
btw i get an app execution error about a missing file from HHV V1.0Final so I will have to revert to 0.8 i guess
hmmm, I have v1.0 and it seems to work just fine on my device, I actually copied the files right off my phone , zipped em up and posted , let me know if there is anymore trouble.
great stuff, thanks
could you remind me of the name of the lower icon bar today plugin ?
thanks,
battery status/ homee screen plus plus, your welcome im glad you like it

use htc home customizer, I tried to upload it but somethings not working, you'll find it if you do a search.Install it then find the files folder in the program and drop the icons in the icon folder, you can then open up hhc and choose the icons. Hope that helps
Hi All,
I thought that I would share y current Spb Moble Shell v2.1.5 setup for those who are interested. I have all the necesary files but not in cab format if there is any interest. I also have G-Alarm with the Diamond wallpaper and TaskFacade with same wallpaper. There is also a screenshot of my Spb Keyboard in full screen landscape mode.
This is basically using the Spb Mobile Shell Fast Skin Customiser from XDA and my own tweaking here and there on S2U2 v1.52. I also use S2U2 Customiser.

Looks nice, but i'm used to have 'recently used' programs right there, although i use almost exactly the same folder structure as you do
Can I somehow insert battery as on your second image but on default skin, or it has to be this version with more screens? (i like when there are only 3 available screens)

I am not sure if I understand your question. The second image with the battery is S2U2 default skin while charging. When not charging, it displays the Diamond wallpaper, alarm info, next appointment etc as selected in "S2U2 Settings" or in S2U2 Customiser-it's up to the individual what he/she wants displayed on S2U2.
The Arrows on S2U2 with the HTC logo, I created from an existing image, and used S2U2 Customiser to change this and the text displayed.
I hope that this helps. There is also a nice tPRO (TouchPro) skin for all resolutions in the Raphael Software Forum if you are not sure how to do it yourself. Demonizator has created this theme and has included cabs in this post:

NICE.......
Very...very nice MAC, very nice alternative for people that don't like Manila.
Thanks for sharing.
I have Manilla2D on a Shifu 4.2 ROM.
Even using M2DC, I'm not able to:
- Remove "Touch here to update Weather" text just under digital clock in home tab (consider that this text reduces useful heigth for calendar)

- Remove app name under each Icon in Launcher tab (with the name displayed, the 3x3 icon area goes under the slider, so the bottom 3 icons are partially visible.
So, does it exist a XML file, or a Registry area, to work on to deeply configure Manilla?
Furthermore (less important), I'm not able to apply any skin...
Thanks

Hi there
Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4220621&postcount=2 for compatable themes - the old .m2dc files wont work correctly.
The layout xml can be found in the windows folder and edited HTCHomeSettings.xml (images would have to be resized though) here is helpful thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427531
The program names under the launcher tab is annoying - you have to manually edit them under HKLM\software\HTC\manila2D\Launcher\1\Dispname/ Using Total Commander I have to replace the text with a space - just deleting it and leaving a null field doesn't work.... (you need to soft reset after)
You have to do this in folder 1,2,3..... for all the programs - I'm sure someone will knock you up a simple cab if you ask nicely - I really should learn how to do it............
Hope that helps.
Good luck!

Great.
Everything works properly...
I already tried to delete dispname in launcher registry settings, but, as you told, it didn't work. Now I put a space, and it's fine.
I'm also trying to find HTCHomeSettings.xml file, I haven't found it yet, but I trust in me...
Thanks again
