Suggestion to developers:

While arranging my external sources apks on my windows computer, i thought about a small program that when installed to computer, shows the apks stored in it with icons or pictures of the apk, so we could arrange them more easily not depending on only name of the apk, but the internal icons or pictures within the apk will apear in normal file explorer of windows like they appear on phone or at least make program that when we add apks to it, let them appear inside it with internal icons for arrangement purposes of external unknown sources apks on computer

we could begin with program for windows, then extend support to apple and linux computers
[Ornate TrueSmart] lphovercraft:
Alright, gang - here's the million-dollar question: has anyone come up with a way to make the TrueSmart *truly* waterproof? I'm not talking about dipping the unit into a still tank of water. I'm talking about white-water rapids, Niagara Falls, in-the-jet-tub-naked-with-your-sweetie water-invasion proof.

I'm not asking for pie-in-the-sky ideas. I'm asking for folks that have experience with making devices impervious to the elements. The way I see it (not having seen the device, but checking out lots and lots of photos) there are basically two strategies:

1) replace the gasket with something more resilient/robust, or

2) potting the electronic assembly with epoxy to seal the electronics that *might* fail

I've done some testing of electronic components for resistance to contaminants that have force/velocity behind them. The primary test was to use mineral spirits - and spray the enclosed unit under a fully submerged bath. Then we'd fully dry the exterior of the unit and then open it to see if any mineral spirits had leaked in. As some of you may know, mineral spirits are non-conductive, so the possibility of the unit failing due to invasion of the liquid is relatively minimal. (contaminants in the liquid notwithstanding). There are other considerations such as the relative viscosity/covalence of the material relative to water - but it was close enough for our purposes at the time.

So - are there any intrepid souls out there who are willing to try different water-proofing strategies and test it using a method like this? Is there another relatively safe method that could be used to validate an 'aftermarket' approach to truly waterproofing the TrueSmart?

I'm all ears.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
Buttons need to be in a sealed assembly

Mic needs to be in a sealed assembly

Speaker needs to be in a sealed assembly

Rear seal, seal groove, screw stand-offs and back needs to be redesigned (think tongue and groove or snap-off watch back)

1-3 are not too difficult, 4 however is a problem. May be able to get away with a thicker gasket that is glued into place.
[Ornate TrueSmart] lphovercraft:
That was *somewhat* as I feared. I was wondering if there was a material that could be used to 'fill seal' the gasket area and form a lip/bulge as it cured out to protect the seam. Man, that really disappoints me. But between the delivery delay and the advent of the latest training watches from Garmin and Polar I might be left with my original decision, which is to simply sell the unit and buy one of the suited-to-purpose products.

:(

thEsE files are only for the HTC WIZARD

this post is in response to the request from this thread ;http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=52521&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Upgrading only the radio or the splash and extended-rom will not wipe any setting from you device. It only updates the respective part that you are flashing.

This is a proper extended-rom[for sumiter rom wizard custom AKU 2.3 ROM but it should work with any 2xxx rom].nbf is not a folder containing the files

To install unzip the folder and run the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe

You will not lose any setting that you have in your rom. It simply updates the extended-rom.

when’d you decide to hard reset you device again the extended rom will load automatically as in the official rom , there it is .no Cingular stuff .

download my extended rom from here EXTENDED-ROM-FOR NON-CINGULAR-USERS

how to install? simply run the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe that is inside every splash screen and extended rom folder[/b]

more splashes coming soon.please post your requests and if you like my work please say thank you a least :D :D :D .

update

I have successfully created a new test extended rom for any wizard with 2xxx rom versions regardless of the carrier.

the best thing is that this extended rom has carrier settings in it for UK/AUSTRALIA /SOUTH AFRICA/PORTUGAL/NEW ZEALAND/NORWAY/AND Nederland’s ,so wend the extended rom loads a dialog comes up and you chose the particular carrier setting that you want, after selecting it just install automatically.or you could just press cancel and no carriers setting will be isntalled but the remaining items will be.nice. :D :D :D

I have also manage to hack the program called [wm5torage] so now it can be installed from the extended rom ,I have also made the program 30% lighter and it works flawless

Also it has registry setting on it like; gps icon back, performance tweaks etc, etc...

At the moment imp putting a few more settings programs into it like a tiny program that actually closes the applications and it is only 4kb.

It is not ready to public release. But will be soon if anyone is interested. Are you?[/

kyphur is correct 1 wrong move and you have a dead device. the reason that it is difficult to do a tutorial on how to cook roms is because you need to mess with several tool/programs/encode/decode/convert flash,etc,etc.etc...there is not a simple straightforward way of doing it, my Wizard is only 2 months old and have learn to cook roms unlock simply by reading the xda,also a lot has been guess work and brain power because no one is prepared to help you kill you device .at the moment I m very busy but I plan to write a tutorial in how to cook your extended rom.

im not sure but if you want to try simply copy the .nbf file from any of my splashes an put it into a folder with the prophet rom update utilities and flash it ,do not use the wizard upgrade utilities included in the splashes on the prophet the worse it can happen is no splash after ,but the device would still work[i hope]

@Faria: there's a problem with 'htc+WINDOWS MOBILE-SPLASH-1.zip' (and maybe also with 'htc+WINDOWS MOBILE-SPLASH-2.zip'):

-The former (splash-1) contains ONLY HTC part and NOT splash!!!

-The latter (splash-2) contains only splash and NOT HTC!!!

I'm sure of the first problem since i installed it and now i have htc logo at start followed by my old (and unchanged) splash.

I cannot confim the second problem (wih splash-2) but i'm quite sure since i used typhoonNbfTool 0.4 to extract the nbf and it contained only the splash.nb part. (splash-1, on the contrary, contains only the HTC.nb section)

Is this the correct sequence?

What is the best method to apply the non-cingular customization to Summiter's ROM? I was think of doing this:

-- Load Summiter's Custom aku 2.3 ROM

-- Soft reset before extended ROM loads

-- Load Faria's EXTENDED-ROM-FOR NON-CINGULAR-USERS

-- Load one of Faria's flash screen updates

-- No hard reset at all.

Please let me know if this is correct (I'd like to able to use all the custom rom goodies like contacts-multi-select, omap clock etc). Thanks, Sabesh.

However, I´ve tried (after using it successfully) to replace your BMP with one of my own, same pic size, same file size, same name, but even the application does not claim any error, YOUR spalsh keeps showing.
