I've started work on a VGA hack along the lines of OzVGA or SE_VGA.

I have identified the reg keys that need to be changed to get the display in to real VGA mode, and I have obtained the 96dpi files from a QVGA version of WM5.

Now, the VGA mode works fine with everything nice and small but, my icons aren't displaying correctly, with things like the phone icon being displayed for settings and mail icon for calender. Also, contacts won't display at all.

The reg keys to change are:

[HKLM\Drivers\Display\GPE\]

LogicalPixelsY change to 96 from 192

LogicalPixelsX change to 96 from 192

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today]

DPI change to 96 from 192

I'll post the QVGA files later.

Can someone with experience of how OzVGA was programmed give me a hand?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] zohaer21:
hey this is great...i have no experience with programming but im hoping you correct your vga hack and post it here for all of us to use
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] MrGinger:
how about 144dpi

I've been messing about with 144DPI and I think this has the potential to be the perfect res.

Reckon there's any potential to get what we need to make this work?

I find 96dpi is a bit harsh when it come to quick stylus navigation ! caqll me a novice if you must!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] qazzi76:
MrGinger,

Rilot stated in an earlier post that when he adusts the font dpi settings the icons aren't displaying correctly.

Are your icons displaying correctly?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] MrGinger:
nope I get media player fonts all over the place in my start menu

and sbp pocket plus renders all over the place.

but the font looks nice for a non-native res

But if the right files and dll were found/built this would be a sweet res
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] qazzi76:
This device would be excellent for "VGA Mode"...

Looks like it may take a while for a VGA hack for WM2005 to be implement...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] whydidnt:
The icons are stored in a .dll file that is loaded at startup - at least according to this article: http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=365279

It's detailed technical expalanation of how VGA works - at least in WM2003SE. I'm sure there have been minor changes, but for those who have some programming skills it may help get this working. I read the article but it's a bit over my head.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Mikee4fun:
Nice job but i cannot find [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today] with a dpi setting to change.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rilot:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rilot:
Update:

I have all the 96dpi files from the BA version of WM5 but I can't seem to get the OS to call them when in 96dpi mode. It doesn't seem to work the same way as it did with WM2003SE.

Confused.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BrettS:
Did you make any progress with this, Rilot? I just got a jasjar and I'm very interested in this. Can I get a copy of the 96dpi files that you have?

Thanks,

Brett
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rilot:
I can upload them somewhere for you. Give me a sec.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BrettS:
::sigh:: I'm getting the same thing you are... no icons, even with the files in place... but it looks so nice in real VGA mode. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than I can figure this out.

Brett
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rilot:
I think WM5 calls the DLLs in a different way to WM2003SE. We just need to work out how it decides whether to load the 192dpi files or the 96dpi versions.

I've not managed to get them to work with my hack. Let us know if you have managed to get the OS to call the files.

http://www.rilot.co.uk/res96.rar

It's not all of the files you asked for but is all of the ones that are needed for the icons to display correctly and the input panels to draw......if you can get the OS to call them.

There seems to be a few files missing from the res96.rar you've got. Can someone with BA/Himalaya WM2005 do a search of *96*.* under \Windows and report how many files are there? Thanks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rilot:
There are a few files missing yes, but the ones that are absolutely needed by the OS to display things such as the control panel and phone icons are there.

Have you worked out how the OS calls the different DPI dlls then? If so, could you please share with me how it does it as from my investigation it appears that they aren't called by changing the LogicalPixels key in the registry anymore like WM2003SE.

So my wife dropped her 4G and the screen went black but no cracks. Ordered the replacement lcd screen (wide ribbon), just swapped it out and have display again and can get into recovery fine. the display looks fine, but when i boot into system and try to unlock the screen or make an emergency call (no service on the phone, just wanted to test the keys) only some of the key presses are recognized. I rechecked the connectors and the ribbons look well seated. What else should I be checking?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumbles202:
Just checked and realized its the entire right side of the keyboard. So on the lock screen the last key, from left to right, that works in each row is y, g and v. the home screen button doesn't seem to work either but dont remember what it did before that. Lock ring is hard to pull up as well. and if I hold power to shut it off, it doesn't seem to respond to the input if I press on the right of the screen, only on the left.

So I just got my HTC One yesterday and I'm currently stock on the HTC logo boot screen. I spent the last 2 days on the internet trying to figure out how to fix that issues. It seems that the phone doesn't have any Rom or firmware install on it. I kind don't know how everything work. I don't mind if my phone is root or unroot all I want is to make it work. I followed different method on Youtube none of the seem to work. From what I know it seems that the device is a Rogers device but when I try to unroot it I got a 12 signature fail.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
If you manages to get cwm working you can adb push a ROM.

Download any stock ROM from the android development section of the One.

Android Revolution HD or InsertCoin are two favorites.

Put the .zip file in the same folder as your adb and fastboot files. I'm assuming you got adb and fastboot set up since you have cwm now, if not I can elaborate.

Rename the file rom.zip.

Open a command prompt in the folder that has adb and fastboot.

(Hold shift and right click, select open command prompt here)

Connect the phone while its booted into recovery.

Type "adb devices"

You should see your phones serial and the word recovery.

Now type "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/"

It will look like its frozen, leave it alone, it can take up to fifteen minutes or more.

Eventually it will tell you its done.

Unplug the phone and select full wipe or factory reset (inside cwm, not in the boot loader).

Also wipe both caches under advanced wipe.

Select flash or install from SD card, and pick ROM.zip.

Let it do its magic, or follow the prompts if it has an aroma installer. The more mods you choose, the farther from stock it will be, and the more likely it is to have bugs.

Good luck.

[One (M7) Accessories] JGress:
So the battery life absolutely sucks on my One. If I start using it at 8am its dead by 5 pm. And that's just normal usage like surfing the web over WiFi, playing games (candy crush, dots, angry birds space,) maybe watching a few short videos over WiFi and the occasional text message. I have a battery saver app and I can see that it helps but I guess there's only so much it can do,Z so I want to get one of those cases that has an external battery built in. I have a few questions.

1. Does anyone here use one of these? Please give your input.

2. What's the best one? I've done a little research and found that the i-Blason and Mophie ones seem to be most popular. They're both a bit pricey.

3. How do they work? Does the phone just start directly using the external power after you switch it on, or does it just charge the internal battery?

4. Can these things have any kind of adverse effects on the internal battery from odd charging voltage or anything like that?

5. Do they actually extend your battery time as advertised? I'd be happy with getting two full days out of a single charge and some of these things are advertised as extending it by more that 1.5x. It seems like if the external battery is just charging the internal battery it would be a bit less efficient than if it were directly powering the phone. Does that make sense? It just seems like there couldn't possibly be a direct conversion of 2300 mAh from one battery to completely charge another 2300 mAh battery.

I hope that wasn't too confusing. Personally, I can't wait until lithium-sulfur batteries are in all our electronic devices (potentially 4x energy density.) Google it. Sounds promising.
[One (M7) Accessories] Frans Parnel:
1. I don't use these so I can't comment on this.

2. The iBlason and Mophie are the only ones available that I have ever seen. The Mophie being the higher quality (materials not necessarily battery life) of the two but also twice the price.

3. The phone will use the battery cases charge first then once that is drained use the phones internal battery. However if your phone battery isn't fully charged and you plug a charged case into it, it will charge the phone.

4. It's a good question and I'm not 100% sure. If you use it properly it shouldn't cause any major issues. Using it "properly" meaning your phone has full charge when it is paired with case so that the case isn't charging the phone. That being said, the damage is no different than someone constantly charging and discharging their phone in short bursts rather than using it until it's dead (or as close to possible) and then fully charging. The big thing to be aware of is that the damage caused is simply a reduced battery capacity and usually isn't big enough to notice during the life span of the phone (1 to 2 years).

5. Yes they do. Some of the claims may be a little higher than life experience, but nothing drastic. It litterally adds a second battery to your phone, so it IS going to extend the battery life quite noticeably.

One thing though, I have had my HTC One for a month or so now and have kept it stock, occassionally trying custom roms, but always going back. I have consistently been able to get over a full days use with WiFi always on, GPS always off, brightness always on auto, and I have exchange synced and set to push notifications. I am constantly checking email and texting for work as well as browsing the internet and Google Currents. I also have the power saver turned on. A full day use for me being from 8am to around 12am.

I think either something is wrong with your phone, you are playing too many games, or some setting or service is draining your battery. I would post your battery usage here for some to inspect. And it might be a good idea to uninstall the batter saver app, they usually don't make any huge dent on battery life that can't be done without the app, since most rely on a polling service that runs in the background and eat up battery life themselves. Just make sure your sync settings are reasonable (not every 5 minutes), turn off GPS and only turn it on when needed, don't turn on WiFi unless you need it, turn off 4G unless you need it (switch to CDMA only in mobile settings), enable eco mode (power saver that throttles CPU based on usage), and make sure brightness is set to auto or a medium to dim setting.
[One (M7) Accessories] Rirere:
Mostly right. I'll toss out though that cases have different current outputs-- the mophie cases will output at a high enough rate to cause a phone to register as being on AC. the i-Blason case charges at about a third of that rate, meaning that it'll trickle charge your phone/reduce power consumption rate, but it won't outright charge unless you're not using it.
[One (M7) Accessories] adamjamess:
1. I've used one for about 2 days. I returned it. It works well and the Mophie definitely feels of high quality and feels great in hand. However it makes the sleek device very big and bulky.

2. I would recommend the Mophie purchased at your local corporate carrier store, reason being is that usually your carrier will offer a 1 yr warranty on a premium case like this. However if you break or it shows ridiculous wear and tear they wont. I cannot comment on I-Blason's warranty. Although I think the Mophie is perhaps more expensive. Some carrier offer discounts based on employer's of the account owner. So that might help get the case cheaper.

3. See comment below

4. Usually since they're molded directly to fit your device, most manufacturer's will accommodate the OEM's requirements. But the Mophie charges as fast as it would if you had plugged it into an AC charger.

5. This question is a bit more confusing for me to answer. All I can say is that if they advertise a 100% charge then that means they're matching the mAh capacity of the device. (Ex. phone model has a 2000mAh battery internal and the case advertises 100%, then that means the external battery is also rated at 2000mAh.) So in reality if you're expecting a complete 100% charge while your device is still on, then no, you may get from 1% up to 70-90% depending on how much you're using it while its charging.

This is not entirely true. Because the Mophie has an on/off switch. So if the case is set to off, it'll use the internal battery first, then you need to switch the battery case to on to begin charging the internal battery. It is entirely possible to use the phone till it completely shuts down when it run out of juice and the Mophie have a full charge.

It uses the same charger as the phone itself so the case never has to come off, however even if the switch is set to off it'll charge both items at the same time.
[One (M7) Accessories] Frans Parnel:
I was not aware they had an on off switch, that would change the way the phone handles the device and give you a bit of flexability in how you use it, which is good.
[One (M7) Accessories] JGress:
I wonder if it would use the case battery first if you turned it on when both are 100% charged. Everywhere I've read, people seem to use them to charge the phone after the battery gets low. It would be great if the phone would just draw power from the case until it dies and flip over to the phone battery. I feel like that would keep the phone battery more healthy by avoiding inconsistent charging. If you're constantly killing the phone battery and using the case to recharge to less than 100%, then killing it again... it just seems like that would be bad for the battery.

Thanks everyone for the input! Keep it coming!
[One (M7) Accessories] adamjamess:
Good question. My thoughts would be that the phone would only draw enough to keep topped off. So I guess if the switch is left to the on position the whole time you would get the desired effect of draining the external pack first. But I would guess that doing that would reduce the efficiency of the case somehow.

In the end whether your constantly killing and charging your battery no matter to 90% or 100% with the case or A.C. charger, doing it more often will kill your battery either way. Given lithium ion batteries are way more forgiving than the old cadmium based ones that built up a memory of sorts.
