Black Rhodium 3G Dialer for VGA devices
Update: New signed cab to resolve issues with certificate store and thus execution problems
First of all thanks to amarullz for initially porting the Rhodium dialer to VGA - well almost - as it requires the phcanvga.exe for resizing the dialer screens on the fly which sometimes requires killing cprog.exe and phcanvga.exe with restarting it afterwards to get the sizing correct. Nevertheless on his initial work this cab is based.
Basically what I did was the following:
1. Changed all phone and call log graphics to a nice black/dark color.
2. Added German translation files for the dialer.
3. And most important: Fixed the issue that all newer dialers at the moment have when switching to black, namely changing in call screen text for name and number to white. (This was actually the hardest and most time consuming as it required disassembling and understanding phcanhtc.dll. At the end this took me quite a week or so .)
Okay, and now here's the cab for installing (at least on the Touch Pro with Manila 2.1 installed as this was the device I could test it on).
Here's the english language add-on pack for the dialer as requested
For installation you might have to kill the cprog.exe and eventually the phcanvga.exe process(es) beforehand as otherwise the cab installation routine might not be able to overwrite several files. (I'm not sure about this as I did not really test this).
Pictures of it below!
Anyone who likes the work may feel free to donate a little.
any pictures of this?

The cab only contains the MUI files for German, but if Ou need them, I could also provide these. Just let me know

As the dialer is not really ported to VGA as mentioned above but resized on-the-fly you might be successful in using it when deleting the phcanvga.lnk from \windows\startup folder and killing the phcanvga.exe process or soft resetting.
Without a running phcanvga.exe the size should be correct for WVGA - I encourage you to try it and give feedback here if it worked.

thank you...ok i tested
on my touch pro 2...it did change everything to black.. but 2 things
1. it also changed my taskbar
2. the dialer is now uptop..leaving an empty space at the bottom. also there is an ugly scroll bar that shows..

1. Yes, I know, since I made the cab for the Touch Pro, I included phcanOverbmp with added battery level icons. If you don't like it just delete/overwrite the phcanOverbmp.dll in \windows.
2. Uptop? I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by that (I even don't exactly know what the word means and my dictionary doesn't list it ). Concerning the scroll bars: phcanvga.exe is definitely not running? Well, then it seems as if it does not work for WVGA. If you are familiar with replacing single (locked) files in the \windows folder and making registry entries you could try the following:
- First uninstall the cab and reset to get back to your original dialer.
- Extract the contents of the cab to a folder.
- Then only replace/copy phcanImages.dll and all the *.bmp and *.png files from the extracted cab in/to the \windows folder. (You could start by only replacing phcanImages.dll and the graphics beginning with Dialer_ and Assets_, this should suffice for a test.
- Change the following registry entries under HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE to 0x00ffffff: CallStateRGB,CallerNameRGB, CallerNumberRGB, textForegroundColor.
- Change HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\backgroundColor to 0x0.
This could give you the desired black dialer skin. But note that if this works the problem you have with the cab is caused by phcanhtc.dll and thus this solution will not give you white in call screen text as this requires modification of the said DLL.

For installation you might have to kill the cprog.exe and eventually the phcanvga.exe process(es) beforehand as otherwise the cab installation routine might not be able to overwrite several files. (I'm not sure about this as I did not really test this).

Get a taskmanager (e.g. fdcsoft taskmanager, which is free and imho very good), look for the two processes and kill them. (phcanvga.exe can also be killed most times by executing it again, though)
Just curious: Did you try installing without killing them and it did not work?

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

Did you try?
I would like if it is compatible with ROM Black Touch AP2
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 !
Thanks

iCaller v0.1.0.3 alpha
Simple CallerID application which extends system default Incoming Call screen with full-sized pictures, additional contact information and fully customized interface.
Currently, it is an alpha version, which means that it may contain bugs and do not work correctly on some devices. Please give me the feedback, I'll be fixing issues.
You may get it also at my new home site
Features:
- Lightweight
- Expands default incoming call screen without affecting its behavior
- Full-sized contact picture
- Pictures can be stored on a Storage Card or in Pocket Outlook database
- Picture can vary for the same contact depending on its phone number (just name the picture with a number, e.g. 5554433.jpg)
- Customized interface based on HTML (using system HTMLView control, thanks for idea goes to mrproper)
ToDo:
- Screen lock functionality
- Speed improvements
- Bugfixing
Instructions:
- Unpack contents of the archive in a folder on your device, e.g. \Program Files\iCaller (do not forget to copy zlibce.dll too!)
- Check settings.ini - it is configured for English version of Windows Mobile OS, you may need to replace sSysCallerWndTitle option from 'Phone - Incoming...' to your localized name of system default Incoming Call window
- Launch iCaller.exe
For detailed instructions refer to readme.html
Note!
Stop and restart iCaller each time you modify the settings.ini file!
Thanks will test with manila about time just a simple fullscreen caller
Does not work with manila 2D as the manila caller id cuts Icaller out also the call delay is much worse on my 5-6 times before ring is herd ?

Haven't tested with Manila yet. Probably it will require modifying sSysCallerWndClass and sSysCallerWndTitle options in settings.ini to properly hide Manila CallerID. I'll investigate the delay issue too. Thanks for the feedback!
mmh, this is a feature that is build in s2u2 allready (runnes on any device, fullscreen), so where is the different if this is ready?
So this might only be usefull if there is really someone out there who does not use s2u2 , (maybe throttlelock users)

In fact, I've installed S2U2 and uninstalled it two days after, didn't like the weight and functional overload. So it's up to users to decide

Not to forget that iCaller works usefully on Smartphones whereas I, for one, have never gotten anything working with S2U2 on a Smartphone. Plus it's lightweight and since you're using the HTMLViewer that means it's also pretty configurable.
I've got a few ideas myself on themes for it...!

I assume you can put this in the startup drawer/folder or put a .lnk to it there to start this everytime the phone starts?

You say its customizable with graphics..Is this a whole skin/theme ability or just replacing already existing files ?
And is it possible to have gfx for tapped state as well ? And transparent PNG files ?
If so, I would be really interested in skinning it (once its stable and fast ^^).
And, maybe I get this wrong but what do you mean by "screen lock functionality" ?? Sounds like S2U2
regards,
Martin
mmh, its lightwight, of course because it has not much functions, so wait two weeks and we will see because it seems that there is a lock function coming too
The other thing is that you need this and a screenlocker application and a volume control application and and and. with s2u2 you can disable parts of programm. Just my thoughts about another calleer iD.
But maybe usefull for non touch devices or other lockers, as i said.
hey Schmidler, Oesterreich gehoert wieder zu Deutschland *kleiner Spass aus Bayern
Running it on ATT Tilt, stock 6.1 rom, with HTC Home Plugin. Works great so far. I like the HTML layout, it can be customized quite easily.
I have been looking for something like this for a while now, I'll test some more and report back.
yes, S2U2 already got a lot of functionality, but its true that it´s memory intesive.

огромное спасибо!
Going to try on my wizard to see how it works. hopefuly it will rescale my outlook contact photos to something more reasonable.
edit:
Here is a smaller picture for the no caller id.
it is saved as a 2color png in 8bits
weighs less than a kb as oposed to the 7kb in the one you posted.
(This should make a lot the difference with speed as well)

I think that the big difference is that it is so lightweight.
You can have as many pictures as you want for your people on storage card without making PIMVOL as huge as mine (1.5mb) and only for few contacts!
can you immagine if I had pictures for ALL of my 200+ contacts??? that would probably add up to 5mb!
Hi Burt,
Installed on my HTC Touch on program files , but still getting the small screen with the picture on the background.
How do i get rid of the small old screen showing the number & get only the new full screen.
thx.
here is what happened on my wizard:
installed ran testcalled from a friends phone.
at the top of the screen I got 3 pictures (same ones from my outlook. under it the blue screen. under that the standard windows mobile bubble.
I think that there needs to be some kind of a scaling engine for outlook photos. at least double size. and the background needs to change from the scarry blue to a black or very dark grey.
looking forward to an update. thanks for trying to tackle a problem that many cant seem to care about

another Titanium Application launcher
easy to add and remove application
you need install mortscript first
and ready your application icon,
i have include some default icon in Program Files\CLauncher\Icon
CLauncher
v0.1 12-5-09
6 pages
All Resolution (but need to test)
v0.2 15-5-09
Option Add/Remove Page - Max 9 pages
2 option for select app
1. choose from list (only select .exe file)
2. manual input (any file with full path eg. \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ActiveSync.lnk , but keep in mind you need start by "\")
fix the problem about update icon (i hope )
v0.21 16-5-09
fix bug on Add/Remove Page
v0.25 14-7-09
add option to choose .exe or .lnk
CSettings

same as CLauncher-v0.25
CGames
v0.1 14-7-09
same as CLauncher-v0.25
this must install to Main Memory

where to download please?
I'd like to try it, where can I download it??
No download link

sorry, forgot to upload the file
pls check 1st post
it is working on wqvga, confirmed. But a suggestion would be that it can load .lnk too, not just .exe because activesync for example needs to call /remote as an additional parameter to repllog.exe to start in window and not just as a process
EDIT: until then everybody who wants to use activesync in claunch just go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CLaunch\Page that activesync is supposed to be\ and edit ACTIONURL with this string ':MSSYNCAPP' with no quotes
EDIT2: bug report: it seems that it doesn't refresh icons after the first choice. For example i had resco explorer on page1 and activesync on page2 but i decided to switch places for them and now resco has activesync icon and activesync resco's. That wouldn't be weird if i didn't manually chose new icons for each page but they just stay the same. Only after i edited registry and on page1 as an icon put App2 and vice versa it switched them but that shouldn't be like that so I am searching for the problem a little further. If chris doesn't do it first, ofc
LAST EDIT, i promise here are 6 fixed scripts. They have a delay when changing icon, but at least they work now
guess i lied, another edit, scripts now refresh themselves, no delay
Nice app... This was the exact launcher I was looking for.
I have an elfin (qvga) with dsixda's latest 6.5 beta rom and so far its working perfectly (I only tried to add apps and assign icons to them)
the only thing I noticed so far is that if you install it in your storage card you are not able to add any apps to it later (you get an error msg with a countdown button, don't remember the msg now).
great job..

Hello guys...
as some of you were asking me, how to permanently put QuickMenu in the place of honeycomb, with a RAM return, I'm putting for you a ready to use package for that.
So - first, we're just installing QuickMenu. Easy, normal process, I'm using the same package for two years already Be warned though it requires DelayedExec app, as QM was sometimes causing some problems during a cold boot. If you don't have it, or don't want it, just re-edit LNK file to remove its usage.
Then - it seems QM can't capture "start" word under wm6.5, so we're using a great app named "StartButton" and set it to capture this word and call QM.
Then - hey! Where're some of the icons from the settings menu?... Well - remember some of them were out of their folders? We need to get them back...
In the end... we want to get rid of the honeycomb itself, as it's still sitting in our RAM - almost 2MB of RAM on QVGA! It's a nightmare... how to do that? Easy... just edit proper CPR files and set them to... null text this way system won't be able to prepare a whole scene and won't load those files - returning you all this RAM. Be careful - it's prepared for QVGA, so for other resolutions, you have to re-edit this file and change the filenames in it!
The package contains all those things - preconfigured QuickMenu, fixed settings items in their proper folders (done with a provXML file), preconfigured StartButton and special initflashfiles.txt file, changing the CPR files to the empty ones.
Enjoy your brand new, fast and full of RAM WM6.5!
DOWNLOADS:
1. For the kitchen:
The package in the EXT format for ervius' kitchen can be downloaded from here.
2. For normal users:
2a. twopumpchump compiled a CAB installation, it's here. It fits all the resolutions!
2b. jfrm reedited this CAB, so it doesn't remove the honeycomb. So, if you want, just quit QM and there's your honeycomb back! It's here.
2c. Another version from jfrm - tapping on logo will pop QM, while tapping on the "Start" word will pop honeycomb. It's here.
Man!
last night i was trying to make this works over the START word in task bar... this is great...!!!
BTW do you know how to remove the titanium?
I dont want the whole files, but if i disable chome in sys or bronze or bronzeEA the start wont works and the devices freeze by itself... maybe we couldnt and just need to disable it in today settings and thats all! but it seems that the semitransparent bars gets lost... in that way we can have a full vanilla lots of storage and great RAM with the speed of WM6.5 and its awsome scrolling.
Nice work dude! will try it on my next release as a ultra vanilla!

hi friend, ltns just tried the new "old style" start menu and seems to be working great. i did get the popup for DelayedExec since i dont have it in my rom, but i can fix that np. im partial to 6.5 start menu myself, but do you mind if i make a cab, or you can if you want, so some of my users can have this on my 6.5 roms? alot of people still want the old 6.1 menus and this would be great for them

go for it Just post it here.
Just remember to change those cpr files to empty ones, so it can free up ram.
why?
This is to have more RAM but...
The quick menu works fine,
that popup error that twopumpchump say stops to show on in second softreset
but can you see the bronzeres error? both plugins... weather and some other in blank and i have only 12mb of ram... could it be due to lzx compression ?
What else to delete?

Install this one as normal and then manually edit StartMenu_Global_*.cpr and StartMenu_GridScene_*.cpr files
Maybe someone will reedit this cab and include a full set of cpr files. Or maybe TPC has already done this.. just check it

Yes, it's the only resolution-dependent stuff in this proccess
Is it possible to keep both menus working?
I have been thinking to much before going to 6.5 due the lost of QMenu and WkTask. So for me your trick is a very, very good news. Thank you very much.
Anyway, Is it possible to keep both menus working?
In my old Hermes 6.1 I have Original Star Menu set to Ms logo Long Press and QMenu to normal press, and now with the huge memory of my new Touch Pro, will be nice to keep both. One for finger use and the other one for stylus time.
Thanks for the effort.

Yes - just don't overwrite those cpr files...
Wonderfull,
I have downloaded your file, but this look like a cocking packet...
How should I install it in a working rom?
Now it works perfect, only thing is I dont see the time and clock in settings anywhere.

In 7th post twopumpchump posted a CAB file, get it and install it.

It's because I put it into personal section, and not to system, as it was originally I prefer it that way.
Sorry to bother you again, but I'm afraid that the cab is going to overwrite the cpr files and make me loose the HoneyComb.
It that right?
Remember my fist question here, I want to keep both menus working.
remember to search
Think about this
the cab file can be open with winrar or cabmanager or some more apps so... open the cab file and delete the cpr files... save it and you are good to go...
Be cool man our developers woks hard to get more power here.
Sorry, I don't want to disturb.
My english is far from good and maybe there is some missunderstood.
Will try this way. Thanks.
Ok, here's another work from my sleepless nights...

Devil version with Manila 2DMy own Cuztomizations...
Manila 2D... Most were my modifications. The skin were from Diamond. Icons from Mega and Clock were from Jade. I turned the selector to transparent, made IE as the default browser and add facebook link in the internet widget. I also changed the Email Widget's background so the mail is no more covered with envelope.
I'm sorry but I'll upload this on the 23554 build

Quick upgrading guide.
1. Download the ROM file to your computer, and then extract diskimg.nb0 from the RAR file.
2. Copy diskimg.nb0 to miniSD (not larger than 1GB)
3. MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE HAD ENOUGH BATTERY. If you feel hesitant, just do all the next steps with the battery charger plugged in to your device.
4. Insert the miniSD to you device. And TURN ON YOUR DEVICE.
5. While the device is on, do this step. PRESS AND HOLD BOTH SOFTKEYS (button with (-) symbol, placed above the green/call key and red/end call key), and HIT THE RESET BUTTON with Stylus WHILE STILL HOLDING BOTH SOFTKEYS.
6. The next screen will be white, with HP logo at the center of your screen. The upgrade process has started. Wait about 12 (about 8 minutes for flash upgrade and 4 minutes for Cold Boot).
7. At the 8th minutes your device will be rebooted automatically. Wait again for 4 minutes for Cold Boot.
8. Align Screen, set the time, date, and localization... and finished.
9. If you finished all the steps, please change your device into landscape mode, and reboot device. This will enable HTC Album's Portrait Mode.
Big Thanks to:
Sweet Sister Adinda, Ardhya, XOJ, helloworld1, Aji Aziz, Arif Syah, rizky_p, boril, W_a_x_x... and... all friends in xda-developers.
Special Thanks to helloworld1 for the beautiful kitchen.
Credits also to XDA-Developers guru... Da_G, Ervius, and don't forget Microsoft, HTC, and HP. Thanks everybody!!!
My modifications over the Titanium and Lockscene
Enlarge the image in the Picture panel and the Email/Messaging panel.
Change the Slider to transparent. 2 advantages by doing this. First, my Lockscreen Wallpaper wont be bothered by the Lockscreen slider. Second, the transparent slider may secure your device from other people. Don't worry. Just press the slider's normal position, and a semi-transparent slider will appear.

Issues and the fixes
If you enter these three menu in Settings, you'll get stuck. Don't worry. Just hold Volume down for 2 seconds (I assigned the Volume down button as OK button).
Known Bugs
In some menus in the control panel (shown above) you will be unable to press X button on the screen. I’ve found this issue on every WM6.5.5 235XX builds, so I think it’s related to devices’ hardware button. Most of the new devices with these builds have “OK” or “X” hardware button, but iPAQ rw6828 does not, so this problem will always appear on our iPAQ rw6828. But don’t worry… I’ve fix this problem. Just press and HOLD volume button down for 2 seconds to use “OK” or “X” button function..
Obex Driver. Impossible to fix… this is 2006 device met 2010 OS. But don’t worry, you can always use third party explorer such as Resco File Explorer to freely send files. I also added HTC Bluetooth Explorer which is very powerful.
Sound of the video recorder. Very low quality...
PS:
To rizky_p: Sorry bro, I couldn’t add the ArkSwitch. The application works good but if I edit the settings to enable this app on startup or the tool folder, the shortcut turned mislead. A normal istallation would be great. I’ve add a beautiful shortcut icon for you.
Oh yea, I’ve add the battery percentage bitmaps for you. Sorry if it’s not beautiful, I could only get this version. Tell me if you had another version.
To boril: I’ve add the MMS version. Hope you like it.
To W_a_x_x: Sorry bro, I’m still unable to optimize the camera to be as good as if we use the Brogent camera app. But, I’ve done some patches over the registries, so the camera quality works better than the previous one.
I cant wait to try this, especially the one with the manila2d
Does your M2D rom also have the ezinput ?

Yes, I removed the Auto Data Configuration... I did it to save more space. Can you set them manually, Bro,
I have very limited internet connections here, and the upload speed were s*cks. The speed is about 7KBps and it took me about 2-3 hours to upload just one ROM
Please. Pardon me...

No bro. The Manila 2D and the EZInput, both consumes large resources. If I add them both, It would slower our devices. I only add the EZInput on the Angel version with the Universal Encoding.
Andy thanx to pointing me out needed application ADC ( Automatic Data Configure).. I found a cab an install it..
What is the difference between "Angel Version I with MMS" and "Almost Official" version ?
From screenshots I can see that Almost Official is less customized..
I'm happy with "Angel Version I with MMS" so far only bug I found is already known that for rw6815 you can not access WIFI advanced menu from Communication Manager, but it's not a big deal since I don't used everyday.
Wow nice to try....... Terima Kasih
