Hi there,

I'm running in real vga mode for a while now and really liking it :) However I never got the phone working right. The only solution that kinda works right now is turning off skins in the registry and using vj's phone program. (I tried a few skins that were QVGA.) The problem with this however is that due to the smaller bars on the top and bottem of the screen the background isnt big enough.

If someone could please attach a reg file with the original wm5 skin settings (HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin). I could start over and try again (i dont want to do a hardreset right now...)

Also is there a good source for phone skins that work with vj's tool and real vga?

Thanx in advance

[vijay555]

Mano3: you need to read the VJBigPhone thread, or the page on my website carefully.

I think this is the solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33971&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=117

Read back a few pages to confirm that it's your problem though!

[Mano3]

It did fix it! Installing VJBigPhoneButtons did the trick! The smaller completed it. Thank you!

[taurus_bull2005]

The only way to run in VGA mode with JasJar is to disable Arabic from the control panel. Then enable VGA mode.

...Ooh! At last someone guided me of what wrong I was doing. However, it is such a pain that I cant read nor write arabic!!

Hi Vijay,

When u r planning to release this it looks awsome & do not forget to make it compatible with Wm 5.0

Cheers Taurus

[vijay555]

taurus_bull2005: if you mean VJSihaya, it is Wm5 and Wm2003. It's miles and miles away from final. However, the window idea is pretty close to complete, hence a couple of testers trying it out.

But the full shell - phwoo, could take months!

Hi there, sorry if this has been already answered but what settings on OzVGA do you need to simulate 144 or 192 dpi modes? Current setup looks very good, but I fear that I'm going to be doing some Ray Charles impressions if I countinue with it much longer.
TIA

Hi there, I am having another problem with my phone. If I start it with VJBigPhone is doesnt remember my calls. Its a weird thing, after I stop calling there is no Last Call: ... and the Call History doesnt get updated. If I start the phone normally it does work. I'm also using Magic Button, with "keep alive" checked for the phone (maybe that has something to do with it although i dont think). Thanx for any help!

[timomer]

Hi,

I have a O2 Xda lls
ROM: 1.40.00 WWE

I have ran the cab file provided by Khashim, i have also installed the app manually and by the developers instructions. But when i tap the ozVGA button the phone reboots and there is no difference.

Am i doing something very stupid?

Thanks,
Tim

[hdubli]

ANy one know how to increse the size of the icons and font in Real VGA Mode...I tried everything....Pls help...

[Riceburner]

Ummm... I just attempted to install OzVGA onto my new M5000 (the version from the OzVGA website, is this the latest version? It's apparently ver 0.53?? ).

On reboot it's looking great..... apart from half the Start button being obscured and NOTHING working..... not even the keyboard. :( (numb nuts here can't even figure out how to do a hard reset. :roll: )


Any ideas?? Have I killed it??

The only other program I'm running on startup is SmallMenuPlus (registered, latest ver.)

Going to check the rest of the thread but thought I'd post this first in case it's something new.

[vijay555]

Riceburner: that sounds serious. Did you follow the instructions carefully?
Obviously try disabling SmallMenu before installing, but I use it in RealVGA and have no problems with it.

To hard reset, press the two soft key buttons on the keyboard (the two big - buttons) and at the same time, stick your stylus in the soft reset hole on the back. Alternatively use clear storage in your startmenu, or my VJEschaton.

hdubli: I think font size can be changed in the settings screen, with a registry hack, or personally I use CETuner. Not 100% compatible, but basically very good for modifying themes etc on your PDA.

The one thing I forgot (reading the first 3 pages of this thread), was to run the SDK cab BEFORE initialising OzVGA. But I doubt that error woud have this repercussion, would it? Still reading the rest of the thread.

Have I got the latest version?? I assumed that the website would have the latest version.

Got it hard reset now, will see if doing OzVGA before anything else works any better!

BTW, thanks for replying so quickly Vijay!!!

[vijay555]

:) I think every step is important. I can't recall the procedure now, but there are certain security measures that have to be sidestepped before installing the new dlls (which are necessary to fix some graphic issues etc). So those cabs are likely to be important...

Don't forget, once you're in VGA, you might want to use VJBigPhone to use your phone app properly.

Riceburner: that's interesting. Can I ask if you could possibly export your registry and send me a copy? Discretion assured. But it might be useful to crack some other problems we're working on regarding Voice Command.

If I had any idea how to do that I would love to!!!

So far OzVga seems to be working, ith some odd effects. Found so far:

Text in the Power Settings screen is all cocked up and not legible at all.
In the Orange Phone skin, when you type numbers in using the keyboard a secondary number display pops up with a contacts list below: this gets stuck on the fisrt number., permanently until you soft reset.
Nothing comes up in Contacts>Details - seems odd.

Oh yeah, the zip file in this thread (page1) and the zipfile from the OzVGA website don't have the same.dlls in them:

VgaRes.zip (from the website) doesn't have:
instmsgrresources.96.dll
pmsnresources.96.dll
welcomehead.96.png

VGA 1824 071105.zip doesn't have:
miscres.96.dll
syncres.96.dll


Interesting......

[Carnivor]

Thats cos VGA 1824 071105.zip was made before those dlls were discovered.

Vijay, one more related question;

What happens if I have BigPhone running (and in my startmenu) and reset to 320x240 mode??

[gibson042]

Hello all. I applied this hack through the combined CAB file, and my JASJAR is now working in real VGA mode, but the menu bar (program title/softkeys) and menu text are abnormally small (see attached screenshot). None of the pictures in this thread show the behavior, and changing settings in ozVGA has no effect. Can someone help me solve this?

[fippy]

I am pretty sure I have all the files needed for VGA mode installed and it looks great for most things. Would of course be better is the start menu and bars were bigger but its worth the sacrifice for more data on the screen. It makes reading books with Microsoft Reader much better as you can get more then a short paragraph on the screen at one. My only issue really is the keyboard when in portrait mode. Is there a way of making it bigger (I already have large keys set) or another app I can use instead ?

[vijay555]

Riceburner: ah, I figured out why you asked me about your ROM the other day :) How forgetful of me. Yes, a copy of your registry would still be useful if you know how... zip it up and email it over if you get a chance. But we're still fine to meet in Londinium.
I don't believe anything special should happen in 320x240 if you launch VJBigPhone. Worst case, your phone dialer will be too big. But it shouldn't be. No permanent harm.

gibson042: when you say the menu text is so small, which menu text? It all looks quite normal to me. I must say, I did OzVga from scratch the other day and noticed that the program title (the caption) is too high, like yours, and had never noticed it before. But then I realised that I had auto-manually changed my font previously. But I'd forgotten that I normally do that.
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/screenshots/vga1.jpg
I use cetuner and keep a VGA theme for it. I (probably) use VJNina font as my system font, although maybe I'm wrong, it looks like Tahoma, and edit the scroll bar size etc with that app. Well recommended.

fippy: there are various. Go to Brighthand forums and search for vga keyboard. I understand that RIPBoard is free, VGA compatible and customisable (but a bit ugly). But there are others.

V

[hoanglong]

i have a little prob here been reading the whole thread and i didnt see it mentioned, anyway using ozVga i changed the settings in there but for some reason it wont save, tried save and reboot many times and its still the same?

[jamfitz86]

Hey guys, finally decided to give this a bash.

I recon i could live with it, but it makes the today screen look a little unimpressive.

Would be cool if the task bar at the top and bottom could be, maybe, doubled in size. Also could the icons for the items on the today screen could be made bigger, so they would look like they do on sevga.

Any of this possible? I wouldnt have a clue how to start going about it, hence i ask on here.

Well in though to all those who have put the work in.

JAmes

[seal]

Nothing agianst what you said but I think the fact that the top and bottom bars are thin is why true VGA is so good, more usable screen room, I always have my phone in true VGA and love it.

I had to hard reset the phone the other day and when you haven't seen the original way for a while is like reading a children book with everything massive.

Just my opinion.

Thanks to all those that made VGA possible and so usable.

[jamfitz86]

I think that it does seem very useable, but the extra space is only needed in some applications, and i think, for me anyway, the today screen isnt one of them. Making the bars bigger would still give you all of the extra space in between. I dont mind things being small, i run 1680x1050 desktop resolution on my laptop and take flak for it being unreadable, but i like things to be pretty too :)

I mainly recon the VGA is gonna be useful for file browsing/editing and IE. It doesnt make the phone unuseable the way it is, it just looks a little wanky. I think.

I notice that the battery indicator (batteryNFO from the o2 rom) has kept a seVGA sized Icon. Any reason this cant be replicated in the other icons? Also in icons like the text messaging wee envelopes.

Have searched the thread and can't find anyone who has mentioned this - Anyone know how to get Agenda Fusion (7.80) menu tabs to display correctly when using this otherwise fantastic fix? In AF, the bottom menu and the tabs which change from Calendar to Tasks to Contacts etc fail to render correctly.

You need to contact DeveloperOne directly. I tried the first version of AF that they claimed worked for WM5 and it was pants so I've had a long conversation with them about the latest version's weaknesses. They seemed genuinely interested in hearing my comments, but spectacularly failed to fix any of the problems I reported, despite several new versions being released. In the end the trial period expired so I couldn't install any new versions and I gave up testing.

[apbristow]

Thanks SiliconS,

I've grown to like Agenda Fusion and it does what I need it to. I've been generally impressed with their preparedness to develop the app further - but I agree if the request is not something they see as mainstream utility, they're not overly focussed on it - that's why I thought I'd try here first. I'm now on AF 7.80 and it works well - but not with OzVGA! I think the problem is that all the menus are icons rather than text and these don't render properly for the new resolution. But I wouldn't know how to fix.

Here's hoping

Hmmn....I was just as enamoured with ozVga as U still are, however after getting burnt big time by the fact that a DNS address I had entered only managed to take the first 2 chars of each entry in a dotted address causing me big probs, only seen in sevga I immediately unistalled ozVga.

However I am still trying to find someone who can tell me what SDKCerts.cab did to my O2 Exec and how to undo it..not knocking..just would like to get back to where I was without a hard reset and installing everything all over.

Happy to live with the 'childrens book'...call me a Philistine if u will....just wait 'til u get burnt :-(

just to confirm, this hack will work ok on orange m5000 with original rom? everyone seems to be using o2 exec rom here..

[sandrobber]

I noticed if you go into settings and change oz = vga from 1.5 to 1 all or most my apps seemed to display correctly such as gspocketmagic, I think some of the issues are that if you want the font to increase it increases it system wide and applications forms get messed up

[Riceburner]

Works fine here. :)

Takes a while to settle down (oddly) - but does work very well. :)

Oh yeah - I've not modded my ROM in anyway.

I recommend VJBigPhone, and I worked out how to alter the phone background image for one of my own because the oe image isn't large enough. (I think it's all in this thread somewhere, or it's in the Wiki pages).

[emmerman]

Finally I tried this whole true VGA thing. First I tried ozVGA and after that I tested the registry hack Buzz pointed out. And I must say, I like the registry hack more than the ozVGA thing. First, you know what your doing: you change 2 registry keys. In contrast with ozVGA, which is an exe and nobody seems to know how it really works. And second, it seems to render true VGA better, for example the top title bar. In ozVGA the title would be shown just above the middle of the blue bar, perfectly readible, but not very esthetic. :) And some other minor inperfections like the adress field in PIE being shown in a slightly bigger font than the rest.

I used the dlls provided with ozVGA and I noticed while using the registry hack that the dropdown-list-icon on the right was wrong when you add a new contact. (wrong icon being shown) Could anybody with ozVGA check if it is wrong too?

[kasu]

Guys,
as you all noticed browsing is fantastic with this new VGA stuff but i'm having following new troubles


ActiveSync 4.1 --- Synchronisation Error (Greenball rotated for about 10 minutes literally before throwing synchronisation error !!!)

Fonts are too small... straining my eyes... have a feeling that i'll become myopic :wink:

Exec performance is deteriorated drastically....it's like 300Mhz speed!!! 'm resetting atleast once in 5 mins :(

Tried vjNina as suggested by Vijay (when i say 'tried' I copied vjNina fonts to windows/fonts directory -- Kindly correct me if i'm wrong ) but it doens't seem to be working

With these issues i have following queries :

First obvious question -- Any way to overcome above issues

Any ways of removing ozVGA other than hard-resetting


Thanks in advance
kasu

[emmerman]

Using registry hack:

- performance hasn't deteriorated. (or not that I noticed)
- ActiveSynch still works. No problem at all.
- Fonts are small, but that's the whole point about real VGA. (for me it is, it's like using a laptop)

[Riceburner]

Actually that's a point, how DO you remove OzVGA if necessary?

[rilot]

Click the button in OZVGA that says SE_VGA rather than OZ_VGA and it will unload itself.

The other way is to go in to your registry and edit the following keys:

[hkey_local_machine\Drivers\Display\GPE]LogicalPixelsX to 192 and LogicalPixelsY to 192

Soft reset and you will be back to normal.

[Leigh]

O.K.

Can sumone please now upload all cab files and fixes and apps usefull for making the vga as usable and stable as possible. place them into the uploads/universal folder in a folder called vga

thank you

Exec Man: I've running ozvga, and have been pretty much from the start of this thread, and it's stable - ie it never crashes my system. I don't use that many apps on my Universal, so can't comment on their existence/stability, but my base OS is stable.

I've posted a cab, I'm sure in this thread, with my ozvga setup. Some time back.
I don't know about uploading it all in one place etc since mine might not be the latest. It might be worth someone else downloading, verifying and posting it in a new thread, hopefully as a sticky etc.

Thanks for the suggestion to change the 1.5 to a 1 but Agenda Fusion still fails to render properly after doing so. I've posted to the manufacturers support system but have not got anything other than an autoresponse yet.

[vijay555]

apbristow: I can't remember if we spoke about this before. Someone sent me some apps for fixing a while back, but they fell off the edge of my brain, it's been a busy few weeks. My head hurts.

Consider trying to force it into non-pixel doubling mode using the hires CEUX resource hack on the app to see if it makes a difference.

V

[apbristow]

Hi Vijay,

Yes it was me. Thanks for the advice about the Hi res resource hack but I suspect it may be beyond me. Is it suitable for a newbie? I have Total Commander, can edit Registry keys, unlock extended ROm and have installed OzVGA with some success - beyond that I'm afraid 'm on a steep learning curve.

Is there a step by step guide somewhere?

It's not really for the feint hearted, but not impossible, and only difficult in concept:

Have a look at it, and if you get confunded, PM me again and I'll try it. The office has been horrible this week, my head is throbbing, but it'll be nice to do some coding/playing to relax. If you can, send me the files over again and I promise I'll look this time.

[ed.dark]

Can this be used to JUST resize the top and bottom bars but leave everything else alone?

I posted this Q elsewhere but everyone said no!

[vijay555]

No it can't.

I think there is a voodoo way to do it, it's very very hardcore and I'm not really prepared to look into it/program it for a while, but I believe it could be the ideal solution - running in QVGA but permitting any app to be used at VGA as desired.

But long term, not right now. For now unfortunately, you have to go all VGA, all QVGA, or QVGA + hires aware/ceux where possible.

V

[ed.dark]

pity that! its only the top and bottom abrs i find so annoyingly big - especially the bottom bar which show practically no useful info!

[itwasntme187]

Hi guys, i have just read all 13 pages of the thread so far so that i try not to ask the same question (if asked before). Now after all the research i am very tempted to go ahead and switch to VGA again (i had done it but ended up hard reseting due to the fact i could barly see anything).

Vijay i can see that you are an absoloute Genius here in the world of programming so massive credit to you! (Not forgetting you Buzz!)

Once switched to VGA and after installing VJBigPhoneBackDrop, VJBigPhoneButtons and VJBigPhonev0.91, if i was to switch back to QVGA would my Phone dialler look normal or would it look overly big?

Also i had seen on page 11 that the files:
miscres.96.dll
syncres.96.dll
were missing from the VGA 1824 071105.zip. Are these files needed for a complete switch?

I just don't want to be Hard resetting again after taking ages to setup TomTom 5.21 again......

Ash

[vijay555]

itwasntme187: VJBigPhone probably will try to make your buttons bigger, although it shouldn't since it measures scale by DPI. But it might, but it's easily disabled by not launching it/removing it from \startup (ie it doesn't change anything in registry etc).

The backdrops should be safe either way, they're just slightly larger.
However, the reg fix for the bigger phone text is semi-permanent. Not sure what it would look like in QVGA, probably not bad, but your best bet is to export that bit of the registry and re-import it when you switch back to QVGA.

Azhad has posted some info + files on the reg changes required to make the phone button text automatic when you use OZVga. I've not used it, I very rarely go back to QVGA, but have a read through. Either method (ie manual reg export) or OzVga will do it.

V

PS. I had very little to do with the VGA hack, all praise to the other boys. I just did some cosmetic stuff :wink:

PPS I think there's a VJBigPhone 0.92 on this board. Have a search through that thread.

Got to your file explorer and open the pic you want as Today background, then hit Menu and (IIRC) Options- you should get an option for "Set as Today Background" - that wil either set the image as background with no transparency, or give you the option of how much transparency you want.





On a related note - does anyone know why you can't change the phone pad background image on the default skin?? I've tried editing the registry, and it just doesn't change. I get the feeling the default skin doesn't HAVE a background image!!

what vga files are you using ? and with waht rom ?

it was working ok before i did the rom upgrade...
now i copy the dll files and resources and usa ozvga as always and i get this strange behavior.

[thefunkunfaked]

guys

there is a WEB BROWSER that runs in VGA mode..

and it DOES NOT require you to change/modify any settings on your device.

it is called Mozilla "Minimo". It is very early in development and even a somewhat sluggish, but it is very much "functional".

personally, I would prefer having VGA for additional applications, such as Adobe Reader, Word & Excel..

[zedino]

Opera works perfectly in VGA mode even if you have your device in standard factory VGA, for me that is quite enough, browsing with Opera is perfect, the only problem is PocketExcel worksheet, just to solve running Excel in 640*480 while device is in standard, and i will be happy

Guys, just to give you an idea how much you can see on VGA (I'm using VJNina font):

Thanks to all you guys who made this happen.

This is a link to the Nina font. I don't think you'll need it, but it comes from the Smartphone. VJNina is a cut down version for size (57k instead of 128k), removing some non-Western characters.
VJNina font (http://www.vijay555.com/vj/nina/vjnina.zip)
If anyone has any copyright issues, please ask and I'll remove it.

I like the way Nina.ttf looks even on normal VGA device. I am trying to download the font modified by Vijay but I think the link maybe dead. Could somebody please point me where can I get a copy of vjnina.ttf. Thank you.

Did someone test VGA with AKU3.2_b4?
:roll:

I'd forgotten about VJNina. I'm working on another couple of cute fonts. I've got a fabulous fixed width 6point font. Very clear, but it's fixed size. Will try to convert it to a ttf and try it out.

I had speculated many years ago about the possiblity of converting the great ThunderHawk bitstream font to a standard ttf. I started doing it, but then got bored. But if anyone wants to help, that'd be a great help to the community I think.

I have a problem copying those files to \windows.

When I try I am told the file is read only....

I have tried to change attributes several times with total commander, but they don't change, and I still cannot copy.

Hope somebody can help.

I have installed ozVGA.cab taken here on my JasJar with AKU3.2_b4 ROM by Ivan. It seems to work fine but some minor graphic problems. I tested it with WADesktop, and really it seems to be not very usefull with this application since you can structure your desktop/Virtual Page resolution with program itself, simply acting with graphics, icons and text.
While it is very usefull with PIE working with MultiIE.
I saw that default ratio for ozVGAmode is 1.5...but really it's difficult to use it...too small.
Can someone suggest a "middle way" ratio?
:wink:

[ng]

I installed the last cab file and I LOVE the uni in VGA. Thank you very much for making this hack. I'm never going back to qvga!!
I have one suggestion for a symbol that's isn't being showed. It's the headset symbol when connected with A2DP on the bar next to the GPRS/UMTS/Wifi symbol. Most likely the hack predates A2DP. :)

[dherrero]

hi
where can I find the last cab?

[JamJar]

Superb!!!!!!!!! Just installed this yesterday and it is awesome. One quick question; there are two versions of the files that I have found
VGA 1824 071105 and
VGA_AKU2
The first one is older than the second and has more windows files, are the extra files needed or can I just use the latest ones?

Here are some screenshots of how my today screen looks

[david beckham]

I cant get Battery Pack Pro to work properly. Any idea guys???

[david beckham]

VJ: one question. where do we put the vjnina.ttf files???

[vijay555]

david beckham: why did you drop out as captain? Obviously you've got your eyes on other pursuits, phones!

Anyway, just drop it into windows\fonts
You can use the normal nina.ttf font if you have bags of memory and storage space, but VJNina was a modified version I made for my P900, which has many esoteric characters removed. But it should work fine on English language phones, and will save mucho memory.

I thought it over for a few hours and it seemed that its best for the country that I drop out as captain. Anyway, John Terry did a good job as an England captain in the 4-0 trouncing of Greece.

yeah...just to confirm, what I need is just to put it in the \Windows\fonts folder and do a soft reset??

[vijay555]

I don't think you need to soft reset, but you need to be able to modify your theme to use the new font. I use cetuner, but there are other apps, and just the registy even, to change the font.

Also, by the way, I'm impressed. Adverts like the string of Vodafone ones you did would kill the career of most celebrities, just because the general media go wild with them, but you did them well and haven't been hit by it at all! And, unlike most celebrity endorsers, you use the product you advertised!

This is great. But how do I "copy files in vga system folders to windows dir for updated vga system files"?

As the original are locked and I can not replace them?

Thank you!

OK, I've downloaded VGA_AKU2.zip from the FTP site and copied the files to the Windows Directory, ran the CAB file, but I dont have the ozVGA.exe file.

Any help appreciated

[CWKJ]

Is the installation reversible without hard reset?

I am very confused after reading through the VGA discussion, can anyone help me out?

There is,
1. ozvga.cab
2. vga_1824_071105_799.zip
3. VGA_AKU2.zip
4. vga_files_rom_fr.zip
5. muitestandfix.zip
6. vjbigphonev0.91.cab
7. vgamessengerdlls.rar

Even the basic contents in the zip/cab files of items 1 to 4 has different files or same filenames but different date & size.

Can anyone help to write up a procedure?

[CWKJ]

Done, here are my screen shots.

OK sad I know but...

Don't know if this is useful...

I was having problems with Journal Bar in VGA mode, it was very small and icons all messed up, even with their supposed VGA fix on the omega one website. I emailed them and they told me this:

Navigate to the folder where Journal Bar is installed on your Pocket PC (usually \Program Files\OmegaOne\JournalBar).
Go to the Res folder underneath this.
Rename all the "VGA..." files to something else (as a backup).
Rename all the "QVGA..." files to "VGA...".
Soft reset

This certainly cleared up the icons issue. Journal Bar is still really small but looks a lot better.

Just waiting on a reply from them to see if they will ever let you change the font size on it.

Hi all,..

after applying the qzvga I cannot see the signal strength and the volume icon on my device. It was visible in the original t-mobile rom. Now aftsre updating my device with the new jasjar rom qzvga isn't working correct.

* I've copied all the files to the windows folder (including hidden files)
* I've run the sdkcerts cab file

When I go into qzvga mode these icons (only the volume and signal strength) are not shown, but the signal strength is blinking...

When I use the volume key on my device the signal balloon pops up, no volume settings are set.

When I go back into the standard vga mode these problems are gone, only in qzvga mode I've got these problems.

I've tried:
a hard reset, and re- installed the device, no success

I've tried:
1. run sdkcerts.cab on ur device
2. copt all files into your windows folder (found in the zip file)
NOTE: if u r using default file explorer on ur ppc, make sure you choose "show all files" in your menu....(otherwise ur dlls are hidden) before u do a select all -> copy -> paste into windows folder
3. run ozvga.exe
4 choose settings -> vga btn
5 soft reset, n u shud see all of it

no success
(note: I don't know what point 4, choose settings -> vga btn means, cant find a btn option there..)

The Rom i'm using is:
I-mate JASJAR AKU 3.2 Rom Update 1.90.94

Seems like I'm doing something wrong,...Can someone help me out?

Best regards

Ok, i've just VGA'ed my uni and i'm 95% impressed, as far as i am concerned the fonts are perfectly readable.
Although there are a few problems:

1. Battery icon always showing low bat (with !) despite battery having plenty of charge.
2. Backlight settings, some text is too big and overlapped by other smaller text, also dropdown box is out of scale. (applies to all tabs in backlight)
3. Power settings, pretty much the same as above
4. Device lock today plugin icon missing & Wireless today pluging icon missing
5. Active sync background image out of scale (ok i know it doesnt really matter but its nice to have everything looking nice)
6. Phone dial buttons (ok we all know about this one)
7. windows media black bar between soft key bar and play controll bar (again not a big prob but would be nice to fix if possible)

Are there any fixes for these probs?

[deejayry]

I think i've got used to the few little niggles with the VGA tweak, they don't really cause much problem. today messenger and calculator stopped working in vga mode, i've not changed anything since using the vga tweak and as far as I can see all the 96 dpi files are all there. any idea what might be wrong?

[pplatz]

Does anyone know if these files still exhist anywhere? I've got a Axim x50v and I just got ozVGA to work. I'd like to get icons and other little things to work better.

Checked the dates on this thread by any chance? Why would you want files from 2005?

Does anyone know if these files still exhist anywhere? I've got a Axim x50v and I just got ozVGA to work. I'd like to get icons and other little things to work better.Here's a repack of the original vga_1824_071105_799.zip, with the files for AKU2 added in.

The reason to use OzVGA over RealVGA? Easy:
RealVGA doesn't work on WM5. OzVGA does. And as long as we're waiting for a WM6 build with fully working VideoCall functionality, I'm not upgrading.

All the other useful tools are working with WM5 already (e.g. the SDHC patch), so the only reason to step up for now would in fact be RealVGA.

So there. :)
