Real VGA now working with full icon support!

rilot · 11-06-05, 01:45 PM

I can't take credit for this apart from the MSN messenger resource dlls which were my doing.

A guy over at xda-developers.com has worked out why the ripped 96dpi dlls weren't loading up when running in true VGA mode. It was because they weren't signed. Pop on over to xda-developers.com when you get a chance (and the site is back up) and thank the guy for his time. The thread is in the HTC Universal section.

Download this file: http://www.rilot.co.uk/VGA/VGA.zip

Copy the stuff in "Windows folder files" to your Windows folder.
Run the cab file which will allow deveoper signed dlls to be loaded by the os.
Run OzVGA or edit the registry to go to real VGA mode.

Be very happy.

I haven't tested this on an X51v but it works fine on my HTC Universal which is running the same OS and was designed by the same company. I have both the iMate JASJAR and the O2 Exec and it works like a charm on both.

can you post the link to the original posts in xda-developers.com?

Anyone tried ? Please post your feedback. Can't wait to use VGA for the first time.

yes Dell X50v and WM5 ;)

X51v yet? I tried OzVGA before and had to hardreset to get out of it (I installed the dlls as per OZ's website directions when I apparently wasn't supposed to for wm5)

x50v report : 5 minutes in and no complaint! Fantastic job. Someone should update the sticky thread.

i've tried it on X50v with WM5..and i had no hard-reset.. so i think that can work with X51v

bye :)

Works on the x51v aswel...
Although the nice Blueish/Yellow keyboard is now replaced with a simple white one.

Also there are still some icons missing like the Modem Link icon,
Mobile word trows some errors when starting.

That arethe problems i enceunterd sofar.

I supose ripping the dll's from a QVGA WM5 rom would solve this.
But asfar as i know that can't be done via resco or file explorer (i tried)

The dlls are ripped from a QVGA rom. Most came from a HTC Wizard. We don't have a full set yet though, that is why there are a couple of issues.

I can try with the rom i got (VS.net 2005 rtm, Device Emu rom)
