I think i downloaded an i phone them,e for my WM5 but it seems to be without instructions!
So i searched around here but only found the slide to unlock program which seems ok but i'd like the full thing
Is there a download which does the full make over?
The iPhone theme consists in different applications that together create the theme.
You have to use wisbar, wisbar desktop, slide2unlock, some launcher app and other stuff.
Search for uphone or yphone and you will find more info about it.

I am sorry if it's a super N00b question... However, I searched high and low (in Google) but can not find any solution yet...
I am using UltimateLaunch and try to create a tab with all control panel applets. I know how to make a shortcut for each applet (instructions here: http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=51882)
, however, they all show up same default icons.
I tried also to add "?/windows/ctlpnl.exe,-5000" inside the .lnk file, however, this trick works only last century (WM2003) and WM6.0 seems use a complete different number/mechanism since I can never guess the number index right!
I tried to use tools mentioned here: http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=176117 but none works for Kaiser. Is there a better tool or way to extract the icon or assign a shortcut with icon? (I know all those icons are stored in ctlpnl.exe, however, how to get the index is the key question)
Or is there a easier way to get out the ctlpnl.exe and use Resource hacker to find the index? (the only way I know of is to download a Rom image and it's hell lot of works!)
Thank in advance!
Here's also a thread about shortcuts, maybe you'll find the answer to your questions there....
This is what I use.
I too have Ultimate Launch. I just create a link to the attached exe. It opens up the setting folder just as WM6 would. Unfortunately the link posted above doesn't have a way to open the settings root (at least not that I saw).
Also included in that zip file are some other useful exe's. I particulaly like wisSystem.exe for seeing quick system info.
Thanks for the link as well as those useful small utilities, I think I can add some more functionality to my Kaiser.
However, since I would like to directly link to the control applet in the UltimateLaunch with a valid icon on the Today screen, I still need a way to get the icon to make it more visual plesant. Right now I am using the "text icon" of UL to get by....
Thanks anyway!

Wisbar Advance Desktop allows that.

Not Free but both of Chirs McKay's programs are WELL worth the 10 bucks each. IMHO
Where is the xml located in the main memory of the phone? I came from a Dash and the home screen is usually edit through the Home folder but that isn't so it seems in the WM pro OS. Can anyone point me to the right direction?
More Info Please !
Phone / Rom etc.
If you mean the BS .xml :
Windows -> BatteryStatus
There you find default.xml
Sorry, I'm talking about the actual Today screen and not the programs. I want to edit my own font size, plugins, and etc via the xml. I'm using Tran's Open Touch 5.0UL . For example, I came from using the Dash which runs on Windows Mobile standard. In order to pick out what home screen I wanted, I had to go install the theme in a folder called Home. It runs the theme via xml and if any configuration needed to be changed, that would be the file I go to depending on what theme it is.
I've been trying to find the same thing for days and days myself. I'm used to editing the home.xml file (in\Application Data\Home) on my StrTrk smartphone. Now I've got a brand-new Tilt, and can't figure out how WM6 on the PPC handles the Today screen. I have a much longer version of this question on MoDaCo; 200+ views since yesterday, but no replies.
I've tried 3rd party software to make different Today screens (Wisbar & WAD), but it just slows down the PPC.
Please -- anyone who can tell us the name of the Today screen's file is a hero.
WM6 Pro is a totally different animal.
No xml files to edit unless you use a 3rd party Today Plugin.
To enable/disable today plugins goto:
Start - Settings - Personal - Today -Items
It is a simple checkbox.
If you want to do some custom xml Today screens check out rlToday. Freeware and the capabilities are good enough.
Note: To uninstall permanently any of the plugins check out Today Plugin Uninstaller. Removing the unused plugins will speed up the portrait to landscape redraw time significantly.
Thanks for the hints. But... I'm well aware of how to disable/enable plugins, and I'm trying to do things the hard way; without using plugins.
All I want to know is how the default Today screen gets generated on the PPC. WM6 is very similar to WM5 on the Smartphone, so it looks as if the difference is the PPC.

S2P is Slide 2 Play by A_C - Very cool IPhone style music player = You obviously didn't search too hard as A_C is one of the most popular developers on this forum - He also created S2U2 and S2V . SEARCH
Icontacts is a phone contacts manager - I havn't used it yet but I read that it is good - Available - SEARCH
GSLIDE - ? Something to do with sliding screen or something perhaps - GOOGLE it. You might not even need it.
Why don't you install them to find out yourself what they are? Where did you get these? Obviously not from their own threads / sites otherwise you would know what they are = Instructions / readme's are available in their appropriate threads / pages - SEARCH

sos, using my dads account, not used this type of forum before.
I am trying to install them, several done no problem, but the ones i mention have NO setup or install file, they just seem to be a bunch of random files with no instruction how to install or where to place them on my phone.
Have searched, so far I THINK the prob maybe my tof rom.??????????
They are .cab files. By default, WIndows will treat them as a zip file.
When you download these programs, you will have a ZIP file. Inside this file is usually a readme.txt file and a *.CAB file.
DO NOT open the CAB file. Copy the CAB file to your PDA. Browse to the file in file esplorer on your pda and tap on the CAB file. This will install it.
I just downloaded S2P and it does come in a CAB file as I explained.
There was no readme or text file and if i click on the setup to install it, a load of mumbo jumbo i dont understand comes up
I will google it some more, i cannot find a solution at the minute, because whenever i try to install it just wont do it, i'm not sure whether i have to convert them or not, on all my others like "ifonz" Ive just gone into them and they've installed when i click setup but these havnt, just a load of mumbo jumbo and technical stuff i cant understand
Those are the cabs. Basically don't open the zip file. Just copy the whole zip file to you device. Be sure to remember where you sent it. Then using your device, find the zip file (This is the cab). To install on your device, all you have to do is simply click on it. When you open a cab on your computer using WINRAR or WINZIP it looks like a bunch of mumbo jumbo. Stop opening the cab - Just put it on your device and click
Thanks very much! Ive installed almost all of the programs now, Im not sure what to do with iPodclassic1.0QVGA Is it a skin? Or is it not needed because i have S2p

I believe that the IPodclassic1.0QVGA is a skin for Windows media player. If you have in installed, check out your media player settings / skins to see if it is there.

I thought it was about time I shared my secrets. I've thoroughly tested every app. What doesn't work well, I don't post or use. Most if not all are .cab files so installing them is a snap. Some applications do require a second program for them to run, thus it would be more convienient if you were to install them first. The two files are Adobe Flash 7, and the .NET 3.5 Framwork...
Flash 7: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flash/devices/pocket_pc/installers/fp7_ppc_en.cab
.NET 3.5: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
Unfortunately the .cab file is somewhat hard to find for the .net framework. The link I've inlcuded is from Microsoft and is installed from your PC. If all else fails a quick internet search for ".net compact framework cab" should get a result. Make sure you install both of these programs TO THE DEVICE.
Note...the list isn't in any order, I like them all!
FlashLIGHT
This is one of my favorite programs. It's called FlashLIGHT. It's a flash application (amusing isn't it?). It's an .exe file you copy into your programs folder under My Device>Windows>Start Menu>Programs. Then it will appear in your programs list. It's a really nice app with some really neat features...including...THE LIGHTSABER. Yes, for once, a lightsaber app for a phone without a motion sensor.

S2U2 (Slide to Unlock 2) and S2V (Slide to View)
Here's one that was just updated today! I really like this one just because it's really easy to use. It has full screen caller ID, SMS, MMS, and Email notifications. I would recommend you install it to the phone.
The other app that also works with S2U2 is S2V, it's a really nice photo viewer that you can also use to set the background to the today screen, contacts, and the background for portrait and landscape mode in S2U2.
More information and the links to download are at the developer's site...

Batti 2.4
This plugin is really handy. It's a battery gauge that sits at the top of the taskbar and shows graphically how much battery is left. There are like one or two other apps similar to this but this one is very customizeable. Install this one to the device.

This one is kind of nice just for a change of pace. If you're like me, you got bored looking at the same plugin. Install to the device.

Very nice chronograph app. Haptic feedback (vibrates when you tap the buttons), split, and alarms. You can install this to the storage card.

Pencil Box
This one is really nice. This is the free version, and as you will find out, you can't save your masterpieces. I have the full version and if you're into sketching like me, it's well worth the $13. You can install this to the storage card.

This is a MUST for any Kaiser owner. Enable HSDPA, turn off that extremely annoying startup sound, make the keyboard faster, and much more! Make sure you do a soft reset after changing any settigns. Install this to the device.

Hi Folks,
I'm sure the answers to my questions are somewhere on XDA, but I've not been able to find them. I've been trying to get some basic things working for a good few evenings now and I’m stuck
Using Erviuskitchen, packages creator 5.4 and EXT_PAckages_rebuilder I've been able to dump the HTC 6.5 base ROM to work from. Then put it all back together, pull some bits out, cook it and flash it to my phone....all went surprisingly well, my phone's still running and a bit more bloat-free!
What I'm stumped on though is adding things to my ROM, I'm good with packages found elsewhere, but nothing of my own.
I've got a bunch of .CABs which I'd like to 'cook in'... but when I create a package from the CAB file using packages creator 5.4 and EXT_PAckages_rebuilder and then flash it, I get no start menu icons. The app seems to be installed correctly, but without icons for it.
(my goal's to cook in a pre-configured copy of GuardMobile for if my phone's evey lost/stolen, but I'd like to be able to include other apps too).
What am I missing?
On a slightly different note: during my travels around here, I've seen various cooked ROMs which give you the option of uninstalling cooked-in apps as if they'd been installed using a .CAB file - how's this bit done?
Like I mentioned, I’m sure the these are pretty basic questions and the answers are around here somewhere, but I'm afraid my search-powers are failing me! (tbh, there's just too much info and I'm struggling to filter it down to what I need).
Any links or quick pointers would be greatly appreciated. Hey if my ROM turns out to be any good, I’ll put it up for others to use.
Thanks in anticipation!
'tunes
Most times when creating a package the shortcut created in the CAB is added to some .DAT file which you can edit using Notepad++ or any other text editor.
There should be some lines in this file like this:
Code:
Directory("\Windows"):-Directory("Start Menu\Programs")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("PROGRAMNAME.lnk","\Windows\SOURCESHORTCUT.lnk")
At least this is one way to do it. Con about this methode is that you need shortcuts (lnk) in your Windows folder to point to. Should be other ways. I use Mortscript in my ROM (not ready for release ) this allows me to create shortcuts without having shortcuts in my Windows folder.
EDIT:
Just did a quick search for you. THIS might help you (and us) out
Thanks mccune, I'll get reading...
