Membubuhkan Warna Themes Pribadi di Ponsel WP7 HTC

Forum Xda-Developers telah berhasil membubuhkan themes pribadi dalam ponsel Windows Phone 7 (WP7) HTC. Metodenya cukup mudah, dengan mengedit registry pada bagian pre-config tertentu, dalam hal ini warna.

Percobaan yang telah mereka lakukan adalah mengubah warna themes sesuai kehendak pengguna, diluar warna-warna default. Trik editing registry berikut dipaparkan oleh salah satu member bernama 'Xboxmod'. Namun segala sesuatu yang telah dilakukan, resiko ditanggung pengguna.

Berikut adalah langkah-langkahnya:

1. Untuk memulainya, pastikan HTC Connection Setup telah diinstal terlebih dahulu. Aplikasi ini dapat dicari di 'HTC Apps' dalam Marketplace. Bagi yang belum bisa melakukan unlock, anda harus butuh seorang developer untuk melakukannya. Gunakan saja ChevronWP7. Jika sudah, install TouchXplorer ke ponsel WP7.


2. Buat tiga jenis registry edit seperti di bawah ini. Berikut adalah contoh untuk merubah warna themes dari pink ke biru.


File Pertama:

    REGEDIT4
     
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\0\Accents]
    "0"=dword:FF339933 
    "1"=dword:FFE51400 
    "2"=dword:FF1BA1E2 
    "3"=dword:FFF09609 
    "5"=dword:FF0066FF 
    "6"=dword:FF292a30 
    "7"=dword:FF8CBF26 
    "8"=dword:FF00ABA9 
    "9"=dword:FFA200FF 
    "10"=dword:FFFF0097

File Kedua:

    REGEDIT4
     
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\1\Accents]
    "0"=dword:FF339933 
    "1"=dword:FFE51400 
    "2"=dword:FF1BA1E2 
    "3"=dword:FFF09609 
    "5"=dword:FF0066FF 
    "6"=dword:FF292a30 
    "7"=dword:FF8CBF26 
    "8"=dword:FF00ABA9 
    "9"=dword:FFA200FF 
    "10"=dword:FFFF0097

File Ketiga:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\AccentsDisp layName\0409]
    "0"="Green" ; 
    "1"="Red" ;
    "2"="Blue" ;
    "3"="Orange" ; 
    "5"="Pink" ; 
    "6"="Brown" ; 
    "7"="Lime" ; 
    "8"="Teal" ; 
    "9"="Purple" ; 
    "10"="Magenta" ;

3. Save ketiga notepad diatas dengan ekstensi '.rgu'

4. Gunakan tool dalam RAR berikut bernama 'rgu 2-xml.exe' untuk mengkonversi salah satu file tersebut.

5. Ganti nama file menjadi 'CustClear.provxml'
6. Gunakan tool kedua dalam RAR bernama  'XBMOD.Files.Deployer.exe' untuk membuat file XAP dalam ponsel.

7. Jalankan XAP file dalam ponsel, menggunakan developer tools.

8. Jalankan aplikasi, kemudian buka TouchXplorer dan cari 'MyRingtones' dalam 'My Document'. Copy file yang ada di sana.

9. Paste file ke direktori \Windows

10. Jalankan HTC Connection setup. Themes sekarang telah ditambahkan.

Selamat mencoba!

How To Enable Flash On The iPad

One of the biggest concerns regarding the iPad was that it couldn’t play Flash, which would have resulted in a poor web browsing experience and in playing only dull games. Anyway, Apple fans got used to not having Flash on their devices, so everything seemed to be in order, if we were to look at the millions iPads sold in a couple of months or at the million iPhone 4 phones sold in the launch day.
However, creativity never sleeps: if you’re willing to jailbreak your iPad, you can enjoy Flash applications, even if there are voices claiming Flash is already outdated and developers should be encouraged to code in HTML5.
This is a demo video which shows how Spirit jailbreak managed to port the mobile Flash Android plugin to Apple’s iOS and how Frash enables Flash content to play on the iPad.


It’s all good, but I have a question for iPad owners: would you jailbreak your device or not? Read More...

The Best iPad Accessory of 2010: ZAGGmate

 By the time I wrote the article about must-have iPad accessories the ZAGGmate was not released yet. That’s the only reason why it’s not on my list. I’ll tell you briefly what this is all about, but if you’re interested in more details you should check this ZAGGmate review published on my favorite iPad accessories website.
ZAGGmate is an iPad case and at the same time a stand and a bluetooth keyboard. Well, there are two versions of the ZAGGmate: with or without a keyboard. The price difference between the two is only $30, so if you always wanted an external keyboard for your iPad but didn’t feel like giving up on portability, this is the best accessory your money can buy. It’s true I’ve read a couple reviews of people complaining about the rough edges of ZAGGmate or about the fact that you need to use a pin or a toothpick to press the bluetooth button on the keyboard. Nonetheless, even those people ended up by saying ZAGGmate is awesome, it’s a must-have accessory for those of you who enjoy typing faster.
If you want to secure your ZAGGmate, you can follow my previous link to the ZAGGmate review to see how you can preorder one. It could be a great gift, don’t you think so? Read More...
