TrueVGA (Ozvga, and others). Themes, phonepad skins, partial success.

[Calavaro]

After searching high and low, and less than honest websites, forums, et al I have finally managed to create proper themes for 640x480 (and by default, 480x640). Apparently it is as easy as taking your favorite VGA theme and changing the DPI from 192 to 96. Brilliant.

So searching further, and now really entering shady sites, there does not seem to be any WM5 (nor 6) proper VGA skins for the phone dialer.
VJbigphone is ok and all, but leaves a lot to be desired. Basilings Dopod 900 hack (the black one with the apple logo) doesnt improve on anything.
Installing a QVGA skin works, but you only cover 25% of the screen with the rest imaging the previous screen.
I have resorted to voice dialling until something shows up and allows a 640x480 skin to be applied.
Is there anyway to get a truevga phoneskin?

Hi Calavaro,
I am switching from M600 - QVGA device to X7500 - VGA and looking for all info I can get... What TrueVGA programm exactly you would recomend. Where to download?
For Dialer Pad check http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=4832
it is in Russian, but you can see screens and links. There are many QVGA, but also VGA nice theams.
Any other ideas on VGA stuff?

Regards,
Di

I use OzVGA (http://oz.sciox.org/) with great success. Its very easy to switch rom 640x480 back to defaut. Im sure that is true for TrueVGA as well, but I found Oz to fit my taste more.
I also use WA2 default skin, it helps with the top bar status icons. The default skin is perfect for my needs.

I also use Pocket Informant 2007. I absolutely dislike the built in contact list. Horrible, and a step back to before WM2002...

I also use Pocketbreeze 5 to fill up the extra today screen space. All thanks to one helpful soul here at the forums. The name eludes me right now.

Other than that I dont use any more specific things for VGA mode.

Thanks for the link, Ill be sure to study it in detail.

Thanks a lot!
On Eten M600 (QVGA) I am using:
Spb pocket plus
Spb Time
Spb Weather
Spb Keyboard
AE Buttons plus
Skype...
Smart Dial (Eten)
Pocket Music Player with custom skin

looks like Spb shell is not working on x7500... You like WA2 better?
