Guest Jamma14 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 File Name :: Mac (c550) Author :: Jamma14 Category :: Smartphone Homescreens QVGA Description :: EDIT: Uploaded .hme file for you lazy ppl. ;) Extract zip to your phone and run the hme from there. EDIT2: Fixed a "bug". EDIT3: Working on non orange phones and WM5! Check the first two pages in THIS thread and use the WM2003regsrvce in the zip. For WM5, make sure to read HERE as well and use the WM5regsrvce in the zip, and after installing the .hme replace the xml in \Application Data\Home with the WM5 one in the zip. Thanks to: looeee XNUK fearomoon and myself :D for getting this working. No asking for the .dll! Includes: ---Shortcuts to: -Task Manager -Orneta Notepad -Windows Media Player -Multimedia Album -Smart Explorer -TCPMP (If you have a problem with the links to any of the shortcuts they can easily be changed in the xml). ---Calendar Plugin ---Carrier Plugin ---Time Plugin ---Smart Monitor Plugin ---MRU Plugin Note that the Orange plugin is needed ie. you need an orange phone for this homescreen to work. I put a lot of work into this so hope it is appreciated. Enjoy! :D PS. Thanks for Dr Blow for helping me with the Orange Plugin. :( Comments would be welcomed. :D Updated Mon, Jan 30 2006 9:55 pm View File Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PureKaos Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Nice theme Jamma, just a couple of questions as i'm still new to all this Spv stuff, Installed the theme ok, its just that the icons are in the middle of the screen not at the bottom, theres no battery or storage icons either. Do i need to download the plugins seperatly to the theme, if so where can i find them. And yes its an Orange phone! Thx. Kaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gavin Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 (edited) Yeah, same happening with mine - and I have the smart monitor plugin installed. BTW, it's a sweet sweet homescreen. EDIT: Here's how it looks Edited October 28, 2005 by Gavin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jamma14 Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 (edited) Thanks. ;) Just tested the hme and it worked for me. Okay Gavin, you probably have the wrong version. Unistall your old smartmonitor plugin and get the one you need HERE. And @ Kaos and anyone else with the problem, follow the link - it leads you straight to the latest 2003 version of the plugin. HTH :D Jamma Let me know how it goes. EDIT: Wooo, 450 posts!! I'm catchin you Ash!! :D Edited October 28, 2005 by Jamma14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gavin Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Also sorted! Well done Jamma, I gotta say, I thinks it's the most visually pleasing homescreen I've ever used. 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Disco Stu Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Bobby; you have unpacked a cab file - it is not a zip. See my reply to your post in the Pocket SnapIt thread ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jamma14 Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 @Gavin: Thanks, you're making me blush :oops: ;) @Bobby: Wot Disco Stu said. But also, I'm afraid this won't work on your c500, it's only for c550s at the mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RichA Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Very, very nice. You've done a sterling job, I really like this screen ;). One suggestion - is it possible to display upcoming appointments on the main screen, rather than just when you highlight it at the bottom? Cheers! --Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jamma14 Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Very, very nice. You've done a sterling job, I really like this screen ;). One suggestion - is it possible to display upcoming appointments on the main screen, rather than just when you highlight it at the bottom? Cheers! --Rich <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cheers. :D I'm afraid it would take a complete overhaul of the code to do that and I'd have to remove some plugins and things. It isn't really neccessary anyway, because the good thing about the orange plugin is it remembers your position no matter if you lock it, run a program or even reboot the phone. So if you just have the calendar selected then whenever you go back to you homescreen it will display your appointments. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RichA Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Fair enough ;). Something I noticed today - when the keypqad is locked, if you receive a text the screen doesn't update until you unlock the keypad. This is a major ballache for me, as I ride a motorcycle and generally cannot hear my phone. When I stop, I pull the phone out and see if I've missed anything - unlocking the keypad with gloves on is a right pain :D. Can it be changed at all? I'm assuming it'll behave in the same fashion when a call is missed? --Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why it happens so there's nothing I can do at the mo. If I can find a fix I'll upload a fixed xml for ya.

Please help me <{POST_SNAPBACK}>No...forget Orange World - the only thing you need from them smartphone wise is ripping you off. What you need to do is this: 1. Download the file from the link I gave. 2. Do not unzip it! It is a .cab file that installs on the smartphone. Just activesync it across to you phone. 3. Put it in Storage\Windows\Start Menu\Accessories 4. Go the accessories folder in your phones start menu and it will be there. Click on it. 5. It will now install itself. 6. Go into settings, homescreen and change the homescreen to something, click done, then go back in and reselect Mac. (This is just to refresh the homescreen so the newly installed plugin will display). Hopefully that'll sort it for ya. Let me know if you get it working or if you have a problem or want me to clarify something. James ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it not working?? For the others, they link to third party (all free and worth installing) applications: --Orneta Notepad (download trial and you can get a reg code HERE) --TCPMP --Smart Explorer And as for you wanting to get rid of your start menu - no there is no way. And why would you want to? You couldn't get to any of your phone's applications if you did that! ;) By the way, welcome to the forum! Have a look HERE for information for new smartphone users. Hope you can get the screen working to your satisfaction. 8) James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to go to the link you provided but the webpage just comes up as code!
