Deck1
Deck2
Just copy the pegcards.96 to your windows directory or install the cab file

Deck 2 works like a charme
Thanks
Can someone see if deck 1 works to?

Gee...what made you try out Deck 2 over Deck 1 first?
But yeah...I'll try both of them....

lollll it's nice idée, thank you very much

I dropped the dll in my windows folder and then even restarted the phone but it was no good.
I noticed that the current dll in windows is pegcards.dll and not pegcards96.dll will that have something to do with it.
Maybe I have a different version of solitaire.
I'm using a T-Mobile Wing with Aserg's Rom v12

thankssssssssssssss

I have these on my fuze and enjoy these greatly, but one quick question. Is there anyway to get the cards separated just a hair? You know like once they are flipped face up.
For example in the top pick. The 4th row from the left, the queen, jack. ten. Is there anyways to get the cards separated just a tad more so you can see the under lying cards better? In this case the queen and jack symbols.

The cards can,t be moved i can only edit the graphics files of the cards

Lovely
Much better then the standard.
Keep'm coming!
Do you have an tutorial ready yet?

Any chance of getting a VGA version? I like deck2

Can you post a VGA pegcards.dll or PM it to me i will try when i get time
Also someone asked how this was done well you need a few tools all availible on this forum (Unsigner,signer,reshacker,search for file suite
1:
Remove any Attributes from the Dll you want to edit ie.. read only,hidden ect..
This can be done easily in windows by right clicking the file and unticking all the file attribute boxes
2:
Next you must Unsign the file you want to edit! Just go into the Unsign dir and drop the file over UnSigner.exe.
A Command Prompt Window will popup for a short time, saying the file is now unsigned! (if this fails go back to stage 1)
3:
Now you can edit the file make your changes to the Graphics or Text.
4:
Now you must resign the file open siggner.exe. Then choose the file you edited and take the "SDKSamplePrivDeveloper" Certificate.
Press "Start sign process" a text file should be created with the name of the file you just edited ,Read this text file to make sure the file you edited was signed successfully
5:
Remember to replace the attributes (read only,ect...) for the file you edited make sure that you do this stage last and not before trying to sign the file or your signing will fail
Thanks to schreda for putting together all you need in one package

Doesn't work for me
I tried this screen rotate fix on my TyTn (HTC Rom 1.35), and it doesn't work.
I looked at this, but quite frankly there are so many apps that include this as an included feature...
It does't work on my TyTN (ROM 2.11.258.1) ... Neiter the xelashiu's solution, nor vijay555's registry keys...
Is there a solution?!

Tired of the old Sprint Ahead animation...replace it!

This is total fluff, but...if you're tired of the Sprint Ahead animation during startup of your device, and are sick of iPhone users whipping out their 'units' to show you how purdy they are...try this on for size.

I made this the same size and frame number as the original so you simply have to drop it into your \windows directory...right-click the image above and 'save picture as...' and rename to 'SPCS_startup.gif' (btw - it doesn't loop...so if you didn't see it, refresh your browser)
Enjoy!
-E
you could just turn off the startup animation using the configuration tools available on this site.
Yeah...I'm aware of that...but where's the fun in that? (also, mine doesn't seem to boot any faster without the animation)
-E
how would i go about this on a vzw xv6800? i am not seeing the SPCS_startup.gif in the windows folder. I'm assuming the startup animation is under a different filename. Anyone know?
can you explain how to do this step by step? sorry just got my phone and still trying to figure out everything
Tried to do this per your instructions on my Mogul but the original file on the stock rom won't delete and it also won't let me copy this one in it's place. What now?

Yea I had this same issue..It doesnt allow you to rename it...or delete it either. Guess its not as easy as he made it seem.

Try copying it to the device first (like in my docs) and then use the file explorer in the device to overwrite the old file.
If you try to do it from your desktop it will simply say the file is protected...
But if you do it from the device it will ask you if you really want to overwrite the file and release it just long enough to let you change the file.
I did this from my Mogul not from the desktop. Used the device to go to this thread. Copied the .gif to my storage card, re-copied and tried to paste to the Windows directory. It asked if I wanted to replace the file with this one. I tapped yes. Error message: File cannot be replaced. Tried to delete the original file. Error message: File cannot be deleted. I appreciate your help with this. I'm not a noob, I just don't really post or upload anything.
use total commander
worked great thanks
Sorry for not explaining it further...and for not getting back to those who were interested. I guess I never even tried to copy directly from the desktop OS...I always pull data from my desktop to storage on the device before doing anything with it.
I'm glad that somebody else out there thought this was at least a little amusing and decided to throw it on their device.

{BiGnAdAd HowTo} Want to Learn How to Make a Cab File? Step by Step Screenshots!

This How To will show you step by step how to create a cab file.
You can cab up anything you want to put on your phone in ANY directory...
Cab Manager Program
I use and recommend WinCE Cab Manager (Get it HERE)
it has a 30 day free trial and is $99 after that...
Sure there are more out there... Feel free to Post
Getting Started
First you will need a file to cab. We will start with a basic single manila file.
i have attached one if you don't already have..
* Here you can simply add a document/picture to your my documents folder
After Installing Open WinCE Cab Manager

}
Enter Name's for Company and whatever cab your making
Just Click Next..
Just Click Next Again....
And now click finish...
Now this should be what you have. Displays all info for cab file
Now we need to add the files.
From windows explorer just click and drag the files right on top of Files...
Once you do that the following dialog box pops up...
Here you can change name or attributes
Click Location tab
Here you can choose what directory to put file(s) in. you can also add a new folder
Click Ok
Now back at main screen
Here you can "Allow Uninstall"
also you can Compress
I recommend compressing for files over a meg or two
From the menu click CABINET...PROPERTIES...
Here you can change ALL properties of cab file
Click OK...
Back at the Main Screen...
All left to do is review and Save
You can also add Shortcuts and make changes to the registry...
Now to Save...Choose location and SAVE!

Changing S pen hover Icon on 4.1.2 firmware

I found circle shaped hover icon on 4.1.2 really annoying for drawing purpose.
to change the icon go to
system\framework
copy framework-res.apk to your computer
open it using unzip program
replace
\res\drawable-mdpi\tw_pointer_spot_hovering_spen.png
with icon you want. (in my case I made copy of it and edited using photoshop)
I did not unzip the apk. I dragged new file onto unzip program and replaced the png file.
copy the file back to system\framework using root explorer and replaced it.
it worked without problem for me but make backup just to be safe
Nice find. pretty cool
Should of post a pic of what new icon looks like!

SWEET dude! It works! Thanks alot. I followed your instructions exactly. I used winrar to get to the png.
Maybe someone could make a bunch of cursors and an app that lets you interchange them easily?
I cant find drawable-mdpi\
i cant find drawable-mdpi\ please help
Still works!
I did a TON of research on this, and was nervous about flashing, modding system files, etc. Running stock rooted 4.3 Verizon Note 2. Just wanted to let people know this still works! Thanks for the instruction!

[TOOL][WINDOWS] - ADB-Filesync - Easily pull files from your Android-device via ADB

Hey there,
i'd like to share a little application i made.
The problem:
I was annoyed by the uncomfortable use of MTP in Windows.
Especially when having more and more files in one folder like the camera folder.
Windows needs several minutes to get the complete filelist.
The solution:
i created a little application which pulls files from your android-device via adb.
the app checks all specified folders from the configuration-file and pulls all files which are not existing to the destination folder.
there is also an option to change the created/modified timestamp of images/videos by parsing the filename. this function may be useful for sorting your pictures/videos.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Setting up the app:
the app creates all necessary files on the first start.
after creating, it automatically opens the configuration-file for you to edit it.
there is a comment in every line to understand what the application will do.
there are a couple more of options, read the ini-file-comments to understand.
Requirements:
- Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0
- the ability to modify a textfile
- ADB-Debugging must be enabled on your device
- the internal path you want to sync from your android-device
if you don't know the path, install "es file explorer" or any other file-explorer and try to find out the path. see screenshot...
if you like this tool feel free to donate.
THX and have fun!​
ignore the following files
View attachment 2383672
--- DOWNLOAD BELOW ---
It's a great idea but the tool does not really work well. I tried many different things now and it either didn't sync at all saying there were no files to copy or only copies the one given directory without subdirectories.
I hope it's not programmed that way since it'd be very un-useful for those who'd want to make a backup of their phone before flashing (as example me right now).
Good idea tho, really like it yet!
Hi, thanks for your work. I have a Zenfne 2 and this works for me, but i need to copy all the sdcard folder and subfolders. What i need to do?
Great no-nonsense tool!
Allow me to recommend two minor additions
1) For JPG and PNG file, examine the "DATE TAKEN" meta-tag, and use this for filestamp (by an option)
2) A flag for Traverse Subdirs.
(If not easy on the source side, it could be OK with the destination side, one could easily do a initial full copy in explorer)
ADD:
3) An option NOT to try to supply it's own ADB.exe, without a confirmation dialogue as this might be wrong compared to the version used on the system...
...And a tiny bug.
4) When "OpenAfterCopyOnly" is selected and multiple sync-sections is in use, it should ONLY open the destination folders for the dirs that got new files, not all destinations.
Thanks! Just used this to solve my issue. Phone rebooted within 2 minutes, so doing it straight didn't work for me. Good work!
People interested in this, might find this little tool PortableDevicesIncrementalCopy helpful too
It can do INCREMENTAL copies via MTP of the entire tree, so very handy and reasonably quick to keep a backup including all your images on your PC
https://eskerahn.dk/wordpress/?p=1668
Note it is not a MIRROR-function, so files deleted on the device will stay on the PC.
Not work on my pc. Error cannot write file.
