O2 Battery and Date/Time

O2 Battery Plugin
O2 Date and time Plugin
I know it's been done before but I thought I'd place these two in one place for you all. I've amended them so that the O2 installer ****e doesn't appear when installed.

firstly, does it work good on wm5 in true vga mode
secondly, can u put up some screen shots?
thanks

Firstly I don't know as I only have an Alpine.
Secondly I haven't got the software at the moment to get screen shots.
Sorry about that, I'll try get the screenshots but hopefully someone will get them up here.
All they are are the standard Alpine Indicators from the O2 Active.

here the screen shot....

Cheers Clustered, can always count on you.

you're welcome
it will be nice if you can add AM/PM too at the clock. just some idea..

All I did was rip them from the O2 Active interface supplied by O2. I had nothing to do with creating it. I'm not that good.

I wish somebody -would- create their own, though.. I have an open bounty of $75 in another thread for one.
This one seems to have some issues...
- it doesn't seem to adhere to the font size set. Which means that all my Today screen items would be in 'small', whereas this one appears in 'regular'.
- No separate formatting of the date string from the system string.
- No separate formatting of the time string, not even from the system string. "STFmt = HH:mm t" shows the A/P indicator in the task bar, but not in the Today Sceen item.
- No seconds display (as requested by another forum post)
Also, I noticed that my taskbar clock was gone after a soft reset after installing. Looks like it resets HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt to 0 (zero): no date/time. Mine's normally 3: date and time. Naughty.

*deleted*

*counter deleted*

Sorry about that, shouldn't have gone off on one. I was in the wrong there. Bit of a bad mood and shouldn't have taken it out on you. Looking back I don't even know what I was on about. as a sign of good faith i have deleted that post.

No worries - I know the feeling My post also zapped, and zapped the bit in my original post, as it didn't deal with actual issues with the workings of the software itself, which is far more important.

xplode ROM vs Helmi

I've installed xplode's kitchen, just his own with all but terminal services checked, and it gave me a very strange glitch, where on the initial setup screen, there was no background -- only text and buttons. So I had to imagine where I need to paste that 11 o'clock. Then it did setup, but the today screen had all-white background, with no text in sections but only small icons between the lines. And the bummer was that the phone had the same white square where the keypad and number used to be! Nothing except top and bottom bars. After a couple reinstalls it became just very slow... Even on the initial attempt it didn't install at first so I had to run the installer the second time.
Fortunately, I needed to do a reinstall anyways to get rid of ExtROM, so I downgraded to 2003SE, removed ExtROM, and then installed Helmi's. It gave me the setup screen right away, and I was really happy! So I forgot to insert the SD card with ExtROM right away -- just did it afterwards and ran Autorun manually, then clicked on all three CABs. Is that OK? Looks like it differs from wiki, doesn't it -- no Middle Eastern CAB, etc.?
In any case, under Helmi's, I have a normal Today screen and a good-looking Phone. Why did their backgrounds disappear under xplode's?
Obviously, helmi's at 5.04, while xplode is at 5.35. xplode's has newer office mobile parts. I'd appreciate people's comparisons, and xplode's suggestions on how to fix the background issue!

because in mine the default checked things fill the rom space almost completely but if you check more, the rom in the most of the time is unbootable, in your case it boots to some state ... keep an eye of the free spacee left at the end of buildong of the rom.
The version of my rom is like that because i modified it, the drivers are the same as AKU2.3, in helmi the drivers are modified
Side Note, the title of this thread is misleading, and sounds stupid, for more info on both roms you can read the proper threads

xplode, thanks for the explanation -- I did read many threads, still that's a lot of data to parse. So how do I make sure, after running CreateROM batch, that the ROM will fit -- what exactly do I check?
Also, the comparison is not stupid at all -- when someone sees two ROMs, the first question is, how exactly are they different? Which one is newer and, well, better, right? Nothing wrong with that. Obviously there were reasons for you guys to come up with two different versions -- hence the questions. Reasonable?

Fun with Diamond Camera

Hi there!
Today I had a little fun with my Diamond using the camera to produce some kind of false color realtime background picture (or better background video?) in fullscreen (full 480x640 !).
This is what it looks like:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tiEji2sTyA
Well, it's a little bit battery consuming and somehow disturbing to look at, so it's not really usable, but it's a funny thing, isn't it?
cheers

Well... It's incredible!! Are you sure it isn't a fake!!???
How do you managed it ? How do you configure manile to be trasparent with camera underneath?
So curious!!

How did you do that ?????
How can your top & bottom bar be transparant ???
It's really fun !!!... I want to be able to do that too ^_^.

Wooow.
Please share your knowledge with us!
Greetings to all.

Yup share plz.How you did that nice trick?

SUPER
Expleine how pls !

Little useful and limited battery time

i want to know how you got the top and bottom bars transparent.

can this be made into a program that you can just run on demand rather than just being on at all times? so we can run it to play around with it then turn it off when your done?

Its a fake. He dont want or he cant tell us how it works.
He just want that we beg to him " Oooo please show us how it works, youre the best etc."
I think he just need attention and nothing more.
Poor guy.

FAKE
look at 16-18sec. when he moves the D closer but the image of the computermag onscreen does not get any smaller
also the angle is not right given the fact that the d camera records 90 dregrees to the screen

I dont unterstand why people doing this. He has no friends or why?

Great!!! You're the best. Pleeeeeeease... show us how it works!!!

You know it's actually logically quite simple to make such a program using video overlay as was used on older Windows operating systems before the DWM came to light.
What the deveolper has probably done is made a theme for the diamond that has alot of a single colour, most likely magenta, as this is not used often in WM6.1 (to my knowledge). All one has to do then, is render video onto any area of the screen which is pink. Using this technique, you could most likely render pre-recorded video onto the screen. If a program is created to sit ontop of all other windows, and remain ontop, and simply pass through stylus entry underneath it, then this is actually a relatively simple things to do...
This method explains how the bars appear transparent, but other visual elements do not. It also explaint why you can see aliasing around fonts and visual elements, as well as no transparensy on the Manila slidey bar thingy.

Or he used the colour as a traditional green screen, and added the video on his computer later.

Kleiner Hirnloser Spacko, na geht Dir jetzt einer ab weil alle gebettelt haben?
Nunja T-Mobile User, was soll man dazu noch sagen....

It appears the video is real time.
As for the part at 16-18 seconds, well that effect is caused by just moving the camcorder closer to the phone and at a slightly different angle. It can be seen happening throughout the video.
No one in their right mind would choreograph the exact steps and angles to match the video this exactly. It would take many hours I assure you. Therefore the video must be real time.
However, the elements displayed in the foreground could be faked. Lucky me, I have a 61" monitor/hdtv that I can see some elements rather clearly. One of those elements is the time displayed on the phone.
At 20s into the video the clock turns
14:02
at 1m17s its
14:03
Do the math. Where did the 3 seconds go?
Perhaps he just edited out 3 seconds where it displayed his name or something similar. The world may never know..
If it's all indeed a fake, then why would someone do this? Advertising the newspaper on the table maybe? Or just for kicks... If it's just for kicks then likely it would be someone here, and likely someone drawing attention to it at roughly around the same time this thread was started.
My theory is that it's real, it's from someone here, and they want to get people talking about it. Eventually, someone will say, "Hey I figured it out"...and that will be them.

[Q] Theme or Cookie 2.0 Question?

Hi folks;
OK here is a jump right in situation.. Suppose using the EnergyROM ver. " Energy.RHODIUM.29005.Sense2.5.Cookie.Dec.13 " you wanted to use some of the Home Screen graphics? Nor I have found all thegraphics for the flip clock and that works great changing the manila files in Photoshop CS5.
The one Gramhic I can't find guessing at the bars and testing is the one thats just under the main tip curtain and your location, etc. and it's the one thats rolled and small vertically, I'll just say the humpped up one? has the small line vertically in it and has on the rght the Alarm on or off and on the left the date... There now...whew..
OK I am trying to find the file name of that little graphic in eith manils or the theme name? Driving me nuts as I am trying to make the graphic background for that area flat and dart like the Sencity themed ROM.
If any one can give a little hand here I would really appreciat it!!!
Sincerey
Automan

I honestly have no clue what you're talking about. Can you post a screen shot with the item in question circled?
Oh, finally understood what you're asking for, will upload the files in question in a minute.
The Images are attached in both PNG & QTC format. The PNG filenames have notes to which part they are for. There are 6 images in total. These are my already skinned files btw, just a note.

drkfngthdragnlrd;
I wanted to personally thank you for the link to the Sencity images. I have them working and did a little touch up on them and made them look even better than before.
Sorry it took me some time t get back to you with this but I am in Flight Status Readiness runs right now and having to tighten up some of the marines and Navy pilots to get ready for a few things that may spring up..
I have already issued the new Manila sections to the teams an they have already mentioned that when dimmed it works perfectly!!
Think of what color youhave to make the Home Screen so that it was Dark with little Ambient out put and be very visible wit infra-red eyes?? That's a good one.
The way I do it is using the real thing and looking at the screen, but anyone can see it with the red lense of a pair of ZZ Top 3D Glasses for the 3d movies and use the red lense..
I really thank you for all the help.
Now I tring to get my hands on the STOCK HTC Icons for the phone, so that I can redo them for our needs. Are there any out on XDA as a set??
Thanks Again!!
Sincerely
Col. L.A. Hutcheson
aka Automan

drkfngthdragnlrd;
I forgot to ask you one more question on this ROM?? Is there any of the Original Start Icons out there on XDA " I have been looking " for them that come with the Stock ROM on the HTC web site for the Tilt2 flip out keyboard or actually it's just the new Touch Pro2. I just need the Images for the folders and the start sections.
I did find the stock "Check Boxes" & "ATT_Blue_Sense_Switches_and_Highlights", but I am just missing the original Start Folders and apps. If I get them I am going to change them to what color I need and not have any of then Shinny like Apple Button's..
If you know and can do more link to me I would greatly appreciate it.. Seems like you know where most of these type things are..
Thanks again for all the help..
Sincerely
Col. L.A. Hutcheson

I would suggest downloading Ervius Visual Kitchen. You can then dump the stock ROM of your choice to get said files. Also get WinRAR or 7Zip, with either you can "unzip" the ROM exe to get the .nbh file which you'll need to dump with the kitchen. Sense you want a stock set of icons, just go to HTC's website & get the ROM from there.

Merry Christmas drkfngthdragnlrd!!!
Thanks for the info, and I think I will jump that direction on the kitchen as if I need a new project, but it sounds interesting..Appreciate it.. I did call HTC Support yesterday and low and behold the support guy I talked with is here close to my home base and her spent 3 hours yesterday trying to get all of the image files from their stoch ROM and at about 6:00 pm est. time he called and emailed me a link.
I only have one small question for you now if you have the time.
The 20th of Dec. ENergyROM's have a problem it looks like on the post, that mentions getting rid of the Appointment Widget or something like that, I can do that, but I need to know if there is somewhere on the cell plone where you turn off the " XDA_UC "??
Here is the tweet posted on the Twitter site about the latest 20th Dec. ROM....
Note:
It seems having the tasks widget on the homescreen makes CHT 2.0 unstable and crash Sense. Remove the tasks widget if u dont have tasks .
So it's mentioned on the install section to dis-able XDA_UC before doing a task 29..
This ROM was blowing my mind...If you see the news or read it on MSN the Korea problem is getting worse by the day, I am going to get this coloring and darkening on this ROM and gt it out to my Troops ASAP. We are now officially on Active Call.... That's not good, it's cold as He** over ther now and we and most of our troops have been in the desert reagion's too long...Problem sinario...
Thanks and Take Care and have a Great Holiday!!! I really do appreciate all the help you have given me...!! I could't have pulled this idea off with out your help..
Now I just have to get the Dec. 20th version running as some of the CHT files and others have changed..
Not a problem there I have already seperated the images into different dir's and will mostly set-up a Photoshop Action to do what I need...
Sincerely
Col. L.A. Hutcheson

I don't know about disableling XDA_UC, but there should be information in it's thread. I don't use Task29 myself, I use a stock RUU. If you download a Stock ROM, it's a self extracking exe/zip. I manually unzip it & delete the nbh files in there & than add the custom ROM nbh to that folder. Now when I run the RUU that was inside, it flashes the custom ROM while doing a full format of the ROM Chip. Been doing this for over a year now & never have any kind of bad flash issues. Never need to Hard Reset after flashing, never need to do Task29 or Flashing Stock/etc.

[APP][Free]Daily Tech Reader

Hello, friends!
I have a nearly useless app here. I'm trying to submit it to the marketplace and those Microsoft people don't seem to have nay problem with the uselessness! However, I had accidentally used a Windows logo in the splashscreen art of the app. Obviously, they were not comfortable with it and asked me to remove it. So, without bothering to go to source again, I simply replaced the jpeg file inside XAP keeping the name of the XAP same. But even after correcting the file, they tell me that there's still Windows logo and the application is rejected.
The XAP is here: Link has been removed
Finally, the app is here:
Is there any chance that I might have left some traces of the logo somewhere? Or is it possible that the same old XAP file was tested again due to names of the new and the old being same? Thanks to community for the support! Feel free to comment on the app and the logo thing. Suggestions are always welcome.

Nice start. I think there is a problem though. Once you click "More" to read the entire article, is there no way to go back? Maybe I am missing something.
A couple of suggestions too.
1) Dark theme for AMOLED users.
2) Options to add sites for feeds.
Thanks.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. They're around on my to-do list, especially the theme one.
About navigation: I guess, the operating system makes use of the IE itself (of the engine behind IE, to be precise) to show pages even inside app. So, back button works the same way it does with IE - taking you one page back. So, the button's action depends upon the page being loaded. Simple solution to the problem you mentioned is to double press the back button - it works, I've checked. It takes back you to the list of news items. (It doesn't take you to the page where you clicked 'more', because I think its pointless to go to the short form of the article again after reading the whole article. Let me know if you think otherwise.)
Now, to address my issue, did you find any objectionable content (Windows logo or something copyrighted) which those people are complaining about?

Couldn't find anything except for the pocketnow logo on the splash screen that could have been mistaken as the Windows logo. I know it sounds silly, but who knows.

That's what I thought at first - the pocketnow logo. First thing, if pocketnow are using it, then should I. Secondly, it differs from the Windows logo significantly. Thirdly, they mentioned that the logo appears on the left cornet of the screen. And lastly, as you mentioned, pocketnow thing is stupid!
There was red Windows Mango logo used in the splash, which is now replaced with a red tile with the words 'blog windows phone'. I think that the confusion arose because I didn't change the name of XAP and the old one was tested again! Hope to get that approved. Wish me luck. I'll report the deep link here once its done.

That could be the reason. I hope it gets approved this time around. Please include the feature to add more sites, if possible.
