This is awesome, guys. I'm away from home at the moment but I can't wait to get home to try out this hack. I think this thread will become the biggest thread in the Universal forums, like the 2003SE and WM5 threads became in the Himalaya forums. :D True VGA is what we were all expecting when we bought our Universals and now you're delivering it.

I guess that the problems with the password entry and phone dialler screens will be less of a difficulty for us because we have a full keyboard? I hardly ever use my fingers on the screen these days. We'll see.

Edit: How does PocketIE now render pages in VGA mode? Is it still doing its infuriating pixel doubling rubbish?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
SiliconS - PIE is beautiful now, full VGA, but requires some damn sharp eyes.

I've changed the default font from Tahoma to Nina, supplied with the Smartphones, and it's even nicer IMHO.

Use CETuner to play with your settings once you get into VGA mode. Works perfect for me so far.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Arrrgh! The forums are back!!! Been waiting impatiently for the last 24 hours to get back to the forums and try this hack. Awesome! Everything's damn tiny on screen now but you can sure fit a lot on. The biggest advantage is Internet Explorer's proper VGA browsing IMHO. It seems like the apps I've installed (I'm using PocketZenPhone, PocketBreeze, PocketPlus, nPOPw and ListPro) are already written to allow font sizes to be adjustable and therefore this VGA tweak doesn't give too much advantage. The only program I use that doesn't allow me to take advantage of the Exec's screen resolution is the Microsoft one: Internet Explorer. Ahhh, the irony. :roll:

It's clear to me that the WM5 release on the Exec has never been intended to run in full native VGA mode. There's just too much missing from the OS in VGA mode, including the phone skin, the way the password screen scales (badly), the ActiveSync icon in the AS screen etc etc. I wonder whether this means that MS has never intended for WM to be run on devices with larger screens than the Exec. Could this be part of the deal between MS and the manufacturers? How big can the screen become before WM5 starts to take business away from full desktop Windows versions?

I'm only speculating because I've no idea where these dlls have come from...

Where did you get that font from, vijay? And What sort of tweaks have you applied with CETuner?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sergeantash:
All of the screenshots are missing, any chance of them reappearing as I'm very interested!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
I don't know how to take a screenshot, but I'd suggest you just try applying the mod. It's really easy and is easily reversible. Causes no problems for me in using the device.

Download the 'VGA so far.zip' file from:

ftp://xda:xda@xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/

Copy the 'windows folder files\' files into the \Windows folder on your Exec and the CAB file and OzVGA files into the Exec's root folder (or wherever). Run the CAB file first and then the OzVGA one to set the screen mode.

To return to normal mode, run the OzVGA file again. It's that easy!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
SiliconS- I extracted Nina from the SPV Smartphone years ago, had it knocking about. At that time I cut the font down for size and removed some symbols etc, because I used it on the p900 for a while. Those were the days! I'm not sure how much difference it makes, but it's a bit easier on my eyes at such a tiny size. Less curved.

Also, I think cleartype isn't needed, actually makes it worse.

I have no troubles with my Universal at VGA, although basically I use PIE. SmallMenuPlus is a blessing generally on the universal mapped to record. I don't use the phone, and I'll be writing my own calculator anyway. Today plugins, I generally write my own, so I'll be obliged to update them, but that's a good exercise anyway.

Isilo is beautiful! Screen folded down, white on black, it's like reading a book. Very tolerable. On Saturday the missus and I were in bed watching simpsons and Madagascar Penguin thing on there together, and it's great, nice stereo sound and quite bearable.

BTW: I would never use the Universal as my main phone, that's for the Magician, but technically it's a great device. Picking up and (near) instantly browsing the net at VGA is beautiful.

CETuner: i minimised scrollbars to 13x13 (I use my finger nail, keyboard or stylus, so don't need chunky ones), minimised all fonts to be consistent, used VJNina for all menus etc (only small difference in legibility at such resolution, but nice), um, and some other stuff I can't remember.

I don't think backgrounds on Today stretch to 640x480, I think they stick to 320x240.

Did you guys read that VJLumosLite, my hack for getting a screen brighter than maximum brightness for the Magician, also works on the Universal?Freaky...

Oh, and for you guys with speed issues: I never installed the ext rom, so no idea what I'm missing; I found no difference before and after SmallMenu, but I get say 1 second rotations. Fine for me. I like it as a device and have found almost nothing I use that doesn't work.

Oh, I reviewed the whole registry to mod what I felt looked moddable. Can't say what I changed, but it's all nice. Will have to start writing VGA stuff soon. Using the exec in QVGA = blaaagh++

Hey VJ - good to hear u've got a Universal. Looking forwards to hearing how to get VJDialer working.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Cragie:

On the VJSMS/VJDialer thread, page3 has posted that he has no trouble with VJDialer. I haven't checked it yet (I'm on the O2 data plan :)), but if you follow the thread he's indicated what setup he's using.

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=26972&start=32

I've sorted the VJSMS issue on WM5, I'm working on getting a new set of releases out shortly (VJSMS++!) when I get time, so much to write!

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
VJ: Managed with VJDialer - TotalCOmmander was screwing up shortcuts and they never worked - GSFiler worked first time! Cheerio TC!

Also, please can u upload VJNina font for us - only Nina fonts I can find thro google and cursive.

Others: Think this thread has been re-started here:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
craigiecraigie4 - nina is posted on the other thread.

Screenshots posted as well.

So, VJDialer is ok? New VJSMS and ++ on its way.

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
Yep, VJDialer working fine - thanks.

Looking forwards to new VJSMS that jumps into SMS account directly

How r u doing screen shots - what app works on JasJar?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
craigiecraigie4:

Good old MagicSS. I've given up using activesync on the Universal so didn't try RemoteZoomIn that I'd normally use.

I presume everyone else got AS sorted (any hints?), but with USB it just sits there like an impotent lump.

Since MS took out wireless sync, I had the pleasure of getting bluetooth syncing to work. So the Uni is sitting next to the pc, Wifi on, USB in, and having to use Bluetooth to sync the bugger!

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] seal:
I have never had any problems with active sync, make sure you have the latest version v4.1.0 (Build 4807) and then uninstall any trace of it and reboot and then reinstall and try again, I now that worked for me once when I had problems with WM2003.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Seal: thanks, I'm sure I've got an older version, so that's probably it.

Bluetooth syncing is quite nice really, but I better get updated anyway!

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CodeSmoke:
Well I tried this now I have to hard reset my device. It comes up with the top bar and the bottom bar but the main screen still says i-mate and has the progression circle not moving. It's been sitting there for over 5 minutes, I don't think it's coming back. Be carefull with this one.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mrcrptguy:
I installed Google Wallet and got everything set up, no issues there. But it says tap and pay not available?? Does anyone know if Google Wallet should be working with the GN3??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] integlikewhoa:
Your a little late..... There is already threads started on this. Yes tap and pay doesn't work on the N3. No we don't know when Google will update the app to fix this!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mrcrptguy:
Yeah I realized I was late after posting this. I read a couple threads on the same thing. It amazes me that a latest and greatest phone suck as ours doesn't support features that have been around for a while now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] atuarre:
So you are blaming Samsung for something Google needs to fix?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mrcrptguy:
No not blaming Samsung, just hard to believe something that worked on my GN2 doesn’t work on my GN3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] atuarre:
How is it hard to believe? The software is maintained by Google. That is why software gets updates.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] integlikewhoa:
^^^^^^ Yes and as others have said in other posts the N2 didn't have it from day one. It took a few months. Likely after an update some time down the road it will work on our N3 also.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jediritter:
Hello,

I've got a HTC One s-off with Inside Coin cfw and touch recovery.

Every now and then my phone shuts completely off without shutting down, its complete off.

If I press the power button it boots mostly correct but every now and then it shows the loading rom screen or just the HTC One screen and shuts off again.

Could this be an failure of the phone/battery itself from falling down or could it be a software problem?

Right now it doesn't even starts if I press down power for over 10 seconds - need to wait some time or put it on the loading cable.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osmosizzz:
Have you had that issue on other roms? Are you running a custom kernel?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jediritter:
I didn't tried other roms yet, no custom kernel so far.

Right now I don't get a light on the screen or the orange loading light on the loading cable.

Computer did find an Android device for short time but black screen on the phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
You should test another Rom to see if your battery is faulty. But before you do... I need to know:

When you manage to boot completely, what does your battery meter or stats say?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jediritter:
I had 31% and I just wiped and installed the newest version of Inside Coin

While in titanium backup the phone shut off again and won't start right now.

I put it on the loading cable for the night and will see if I get it going tomorrow.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
It could be the battery. If it happens that it goes from 100% to nothing within jus 20-30 min, then it is broken. Happened to me.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jediritter:
Okey just fully charged, plugging out, shutting off my alarm clock and browsing through sense - phone off.

Short push on power and right after HTC Inside it shuts off again, but with power button and Vol- I can get into recovery, Hboot 1.44 without anything happend.

/edit

What does it mean when back and home button are blinking?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
You are doing a hard reset / force off the phone. If it means anything other than that I don't know.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jediritter:
I finally got my phone on again (after 6 hours) and battery says 80%

Should I try CM10.1/CM10.2 instead of Inside Coin and/or maybe another bootloader? My HBoot is still 1.44 and CWM 6.0.3.1
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
Any you like. Remember to check md5. If you wish u can upgrade hboot too.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justauser:
I installed dashclock on my note3, but don't see a way to activate it. The lock screen has only a single page. Maybe because I have a pin enabled?? Anyone have an idea of how to get working?

(Sprint version)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killa12222:
Go to Settings, Device, Lock screen and enable Multiple Widgets. Dashclock works great on mine!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justauser:
no such option

I don't have that option on my lock screen settings. Sprint Note3. I have disabled some apps, maybe that did it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuaak:
I have Sprint N3 too. Settings>Device tab> Lockscreen (under personalization) > Multiple Widgets - ON

Wake up the device but don't unlock. Tap on the clock to enlarge it. Swipe to the Right to reveal a blank lock screen page with a big "+" on it. Tap that then scroll down to DashClock. Works great on mine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justauser:
Don't see that

When I tap lock screen the available items are:

- screen lock

- clock widget options

- personal message

- owner info

- lock automatically

- lock instantly

- action memo

There is nothing about multiple widgets. Also, I can't tap to increase the clock size on the lock screen.

I just removed my PIN security and I get multiple lock screen. Truned PIN security back on and no dashclock. That must be the issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuaak:
Yeah, i just tried PIN security on mine and it removes those options. I guess displaying widgets with potentially sensitive info on the lockscreen isn't too secure so it unlocks directly to the home screen.
[Moto X Q&A] jntdroid:
I've seen a few comparisons on the Moto X, pre and post update online. I had one for a few weeks pre-update (Verizon...), and the camera was really the main reason I ended up ditching it. So I have a couple of questions for anybody that has the update:

I've seen a few post-update comparisons to the likes of the HTC One, and it still has a blown out look at times... but I wanted to hear from actual owners of the device before making a judgment call, since most people don't walk around comparing with 2 or 3 other devices :)

Did the software update also improve the videos?

What about usability - I know it said it was going to speed up auto-focus, navigation, etc., but did it really? Or is it not really noticeable?

Flash performance - improved at all? Or still slow and very blown out?

Thanks!

edit: reading things like this is what's making me hesitate to jump back on the bandwagon just yet
[Moto X Q&A] enik_fox:
It still has some blowout issues but not nearly as bad as before. That is just an issue with the rgbc sensor. That's the same reason Sony stopped using similar tech in their phones.
[Moto X Q&A] mikeosu:
Little bit disappointing that the camera is still not quite up to par with the iPhone or S4. Might wait to see how the Nexus 5 compares.

I don't need absolute perfect pictures (it is a phone after all) but blowing out white pictures is a noticeable problem.
[Moto X Q&A] bpschoon:
It looks good with well lit photos but dark photos still look awful. It's probably a better camera than the HTC One I'm coming from, the compromises are just different
[Moto X Q&A] mikeosu:
So you aren't getting the white fuzzy issues in daylight pictures?
[Moto X Q&A] Aersaud:
My camera actually has no issues at all. Light or dark since the update
[Moto X Q&A] bpschoon:
No. The daylight photos look great. Really clear with excellent color accuracy.
[Moto X Q&A] mikeosu:
Good to hear. kind of conflicting reports but the positive ones seem more common.
[Moto X Q&A] jntdroid:
It seems to me they adjusted the contrast and saturation more than anything else, mostly for the positive. I think the sensors or optics they used just aren't up to par, in general, compared to the likes of the 5, S4, etc. Has anybody noticed any pickup in overall speed, both in general, and with the shutter?

The other thing I've noticed is this - these phones touting larger pixels all tend to blow out whites and struggle with balance from time to time. The HTC One does it, the X did (and still does to a point it appears, but not as bad now?), and I've been trying out an iPhone 5S for a bit now, and even it does it as well - but the processor plus software really helps keep it in check 95% of the time.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysAdmNj:
So I was experiencing weird battery behavior so I decided to reflash cleanrom 1.1 but first wiping my device. Apparently just wiping the device wasn't enough or I did it wrong. I selected advanced and selected system,cache,dalvik cache. I installed rom and when I rebooted I noticed my apps were all there, nothing changed from the cleanrom 1.1 install I had on there before. I rebooted back to recovery and this time I selected format data and wiped again. This time I went to try and relflash rom and yep, I deleted all my data so there was no roms or any backups to restore from. I figured my device was completely formatted/wiped and I had no rom installed. I started to panic lol, I even rebooted twrp into bootloader hello. I just tried to get back to recovery at that point, so weird thing was when I was in the "bootloader mode" and it was asking for some pin code a call came through. Someone was trying to call me? Anyway out of curiosutiy I held the power button and selected power off and restart and when it loaded into cleanrom 1.1 asking me to enter my settings and I started installing my apps since I had no tb to restore from as I formatted earlier. My question is, what did I do wrong? I just wanted to wipe my device and install a fresh cleanrom 1.1, not actually format my device completely.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradisewaits:
advanced wipe

I wouldve just advanced wiped everything but internal storage. Your backups should be on internal storage so I'm not sure why formatting deleted them. Whenever I install a fresh ROM I do an advanced wipe of system data cache and davlik. Never done a non advanced wipe. Hope this helps.

[HTC Rezound] MoseIlla:
I was considering buying a Rezound on Craigslist and I was wondering if anyone had gotten 3G/4G data working on any GSM carriers, or if this was even possible to begin with.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Real 4G (ie. LTE) no, it won't work... some people have been able to do a bunch of NV edits and prop.build tweaks to get 3G working, even HSPA+ but it is not for the faint of heart. REV3NT3CH has been working on a flashable ZIP package to make the changes for any ROM, but I haven't heard any more about in a while... I spent a close to a month working on it and was never able to get better than 2G/EDGE data on AT&T's network and finally gave up.

My honest opinion is if you are going to spend money on a phone for GSM service, get a real GSM phone, the Rezound is a great device and can be hacked a lot if you already have one, but if you are going to buy one for GSM I would look at something else. For something similar on AT&T's network, consider a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, you can get it for around the same price as a used Rezound and it is very similar and the developer community is really good. Not sure about a T-Mobile equivalent. I ponied up the extra and grabbed a Nexus 4, if you can wait a few weeks, the Nexus 5 should drop and the 16GB model is expected to be about $299.
[HTC Rezound] MoseIlla:
Which is good advice, if I was looking to spend more than $75-100 at the moment. My phone broke and I'd like a midline replacement for it, and there are a few Rezounds on Craigslist in my area, which are at a low price in that spec range.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Tough price range for a comparable phone... I sold one of my Rezounds on local classified ads board for $150 a month or so. But I would assume you can grab a 3G/4G GSM phone for around the same price range, just take a little more homework.
[HTC Rezound] MoseIlla:
Time is kind of an issue for me and the pricing is also one. I am going to save money up for a nicer phone at some point, but this is what's available in the price range I can afford in this time range for a phone I don't plan on owning forever.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
To be honest, if you can't do Verizon post-paid I would skip the Rezound unless you are very skilled at modding Android on a deeper level than root and ROMs or can live without mobile data (voice and SMS will work)...

Using the Rezound on a US GSM carrier with mobile data is very hit and miss and some people can get it to work and others can't.

I love my Rezound, but I have a hard time recommending it for a quick GSM phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coxander:
I have bought my Lg G2 last saturday. I'm still researching the phone and so far it's great except one thing. Problem is when the phone is removed from charging it refuses to establish a data connection. This happened to me twice and every time in the morning after the charging.

Solution is restarting the phone. If not, it just won't connect . When i go to the settings it is turn on, but there are no arrows at the top of the screen and it doesn't work. Otherwise , after the restart it works normally all day. I keep turning it on and of and it works fine.

I think it is a software problem, since I have a network signal, but I'm not sure.

Is anyone having a similar problem?
