I’m still a beginner with XDA, but starting to figure things out slowwwwwwly.

Couple of questions.


1. I’ve installed PocketZen (v3.5) and have managed to activate it. Whilst PocketZen is set up as the Today scene, how can I add custom applications (e.g. Excel, Word, Calendar etc) on the PocketZen desktop?

2. How can you apply the icons like the ones shown in the picture below? I’ve downloaded the following icon files but don’t know what to do with them :- Arjen.rar & Egypt123Icons1.rar


3. I’ve downloaded the ZenRingMode.exe file and copied into a folder called “Zen Ring Mode” within “\Program Files” folder on the XDA. I’ve managed to launch it by going in to File Exporer. Seems a bit tedious…..Is there a better way? However, once launched and you put the code in and click “Save Ring Mode”, how can you then utilise that sequence? What will the saved sequence be called? Surely not the code sequence you’ve just used????

I will try to anwser your questions but I invit you to read the doc in the PocketZenPhone web site (see my signature below this post) All about custom icons ... is explained.

But to explain you directly PocketZenPhone is a today plugin it "only" allows you to switch between different phone mode.
To display shorcut I use TdLaunch.

how can I add custom applications (e.g. Excel, Word, Calendar etc) on the PocketZen desktop?
This another plugin than PocketZenPhone. It is TdLaunch. Download it here (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/pocketpc/tdlaunch.html) . To add application using tdlaunch, install it then go to settings->today->items->tdlaunch->options->add

2. How can you apply the icons like the ones shown in the picture below? I’ve downloaded the following icon files but don’t know what to do with them :- Arjen.rar & Egypt123Icons1.rar
To apply icons for PocketZenPhone. Install PocketZenPhone, then open an explorer using ActiveSync and copy the incons extracted from the .rar you downloaded and copy then in Porgram files/PocketZenPhone.


3. I’ve downloaded the ZenRingMode.exe file and copied into a folder called “Zen Ring Mode” within “\Program Files” folder on the XDA. I’ve managed to launch it by going in to File Exporer. Seems a bit tedious…..Is there a better way? However, once launched and you put the code in and click “Save Ring Mode”, how can you then utilise that sequence? What will the saved sequence be called? Surely not the code sequence you’ve just used????

ZenRingMode only allows you to test some custom Ring mode. you enter it , apply it and test when someone calls you. If the code is great you can post it on the PocketZenPhone thread on this forum.

Hope this help ;)

Thank you very for such a fast response. Appreciate it. I’ve copied the jar files to \Program Files\PocketZenPhone as you suggested. However, nothing has happened. How do I activate new icons?

:D

No unzip the files on your PC, then copy the pictures on your pocket.
Once done go to the PocketZenphone settings (settings->today->item->PocketZenPhone->options ...) . Exit and return to the today page ... that's it ;)

OK. I’ve unzipped them using WinRAR and then copied them in a folder called Egypt123Icons on my PocketPC. Went into PocketZenphone settings (settings->today->item->PocketZenPhone->options ...) but could not find anything to change icons! Sorry to trouble you again but can you please help me out. :roll:

Copy them in the installation path ( \Program Files\PocketZenPhone for the english OS)
Then go to settings->today->pocketzenphone->options...
