Hi all,

I've been a reader (lurker) of this forum since the 8125. I have a Hermes 100 from Cingular which I have played around with, as shown on this forum. I am trying to create a fast, multimedia phone, that runs on the Hermes. I am not a techie, like many of you who know how to program, but I do admire what you've done. I could use your help......

Recently, post the last HTC upgrade, I added Black Satin, the Iphone Slider, and SPB Shell 1.5 , Diary and Pocket Plus 4.0, just to see how things work. Some thoughts (and the questions for which I seek an answer).

Do like the Black Satin add-ons, though Black was never really my color, and the HTC Shell and Diary are nice (though with Pocket Plus, gets very bloated)...still, it runs very slow....how can I:

1. Find a basic HTC shell?

2. If I wanted to ad in an interface, would you suggest the SPB Shell 1.5 + Diary or do you think Pocket Plus 4.0 is smooth, fast and multi-talented?

3. Opera or Explorer?

4. I still cannot watch Youtube, and some websites that require flash to show videos do not like Macromedia 7.0 Flash..they say "upgrade!" Thoughts?

5. I downloaded and installed The Black Shadow Video Dial Configuration, to use 3G video phone calls. But, as I am on the Cingular network, neither my brother (with the Tilt, unlocked) or my Hermes can make video calls on the network. Advice?! This would be super cool.

6. Are there "optimal" cingular internet settings that allow fastest access, or unblocked ports for 3G vid calling, streaming etc?

7. what is the best solution in terms of Iphone like scrolling and unlock? I know 4.0 Pocket Plus has it...its just "ok"...I tried to install Slide2unlock, didn't work for me.

8. I also used RealVGA, but didnt' notice a considerable difference. Is it not there, or am I dreaming?

9. Finally, should I just sell this Hermes 100 (its a "new" refurbished one from AT&T, got it yesterday) and buy a Tilt, or can I do everything I want on this baby!? I've had this type of phoen for a half a year now.....

Wow, a lot of questions, and I know you folks could say "read the 500 pages of the forum"...trust me, I've spent hours in these threads. I would appreciate your help, and I've honestly been trying, but it gets a little too technical for me past installing Cabs and following instructions, to be honest. So, any help you can offer would be VERY greatly appreciated.

All the best, George
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KarhU:
Ok, here are answers to some points of yours:

4) There is no flash enabled browser for Windows Mobile. Only workarounds exist for watching the flash videos off Youtube and similar pages. So you will not be able to see those pages in near future.

7)iPhone scrolling - I use fTouchFlo - it works in all of the programs but has its flaws, I use s2u2 on my Hermes with no problem. One more thing to note is that Hermes touchc screen is different form iPhone touch screen and what we have (including SPB scrolling) are workarounds that still need a time to mature.

8) RealVGA? You are missing the point - both Hermes and Tilt have QVGA screen - there is no way to get it to VGA (simply because your screen has four times less pixels than VGA screen). It will not work because it is intended for VGA devices not for QVGA we own.

This is a developer forum - if you want less technical focus you can head to HOFO or other fora... I know lots of people in here read a lot... but they do not seem to think about what they read and then they tend to have really stupid questions. If all you want is media phone go for iPhone - there will not be 3G functions - but the scrolling works - there is no hassle with third party applications and everything can be done in only one way - the Apple way. The WM platform lets you do much more but it comes at price - in here I think you should get your feet wet in some basic techie stuff other than installing CABS. Hope I helped at least little...

PS: I had a hard time being new to the WM too - it needs time - I think right now you do not know what exactly you can expect from your device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gfhii:
Well, first of all:

Thank you for your reply. True, it is called XDA

Developers

....and I am, in fairness, not. And as for an Iphone, wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft pool - I like the flexibility of this HTC WM6 phone I have...but frankly apart from some BASIC at the age of 9-11yrs, programming is not a forte ;-)

I'll try your solution to the scrolling.....and of course, I'll keep reading, but I figured (a. You folks know this stuff so well, and b). I can't be the first person to come in with these questions. After all, It's not like I'm not trying,...I flashed something like 20 roms yesterday testing them all out! - on that note, I love your benchmark thread.

Anyway, thank you for your help and the help of anyone else who gives it!

best, George
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KarhU:
Ehhm to put some things straight...I know even less programming than you do :) I have a very same opinion of an iPhone - this thing can not be called "smart" phone at all. What you stumbled upon is the fact that there are two basic groups of users of our PDA phones - first ones are user tha want their phones just work - they are not interested why something does not work, they just want a certain standard to work and as long as it does they are happy. Second group is geeks like me (and the majority of users of this forum) that are just happy to upgrade their phones to whatever newer and try it out. The problem is that for example cooked ROMS have bugs/issues (not that official ROMs have none) - issues vary from small glitches, memory leaks, not functioning buttons to random hardresets. If you go way of the cooked ROMs usually you will have to spend more time with your devices than the first group of users just to fix glitches. The other thing is that cooked ROMs and applications there can enable you do much more with your phone - for example resource hogging HTC Home plugin was not intended for Hermes, touch scroll ability as well and we can continue - but folks over here made it possible - that is what makes this forum so great. Butif you choose to go this way you will have to read, read and read again - because nothing is perfect. Our devices have limitations too - hermes processor has computing power roughly equal to Pentium 100 MHz (that is over ten years old processor for desktops) - so some tasks are hard to be adapted (that is why most of the programs we use are watered down versions of desktop programs - as well as screen size is quite limiting for browsing and so on - if you want a VGA screen than you have to count with: your device being a tad slower (4x more data to be displayed over QVGA) and also bigger battery drain (4x more pixels to power up). Said that you can get some of the things you ask for in your questions, but some are still a challenge...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcorrie1121:
Use vtap for youtube viewing. Just google it.

Opera. Definitely Opera.

Well, AT&T does not support video calls so unless you go out of the country its useless to you. Besides, your phones dont even have the front facing camera, so it would be hard to do anyways.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gfhii:
Mcorrie:

Thanks, I think right now, I am at:

1. A Basic Shell for speed and customization (not sure which yet)

2. Web Browser: Opera

3. YouTube Browser: VTap

4. Scrolling: TouchFlo or s2u2

5. Additional Scrolling: Possibly Touch Commander

6. Maps: Google Maps

7. Wifi Searching: WIFIFOFUM

8: Microsoft Office

9. Phone Dialer (includes 3G Video??): Unknown

10. Camera/Video Program: Unknown

11. Media Player: Unknown

As for Video Calling, I figured there was a way to bypass the Cingular restrictions, but I have not found it yet. After all, it is a pipe...so it should be possible, right?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KarhU:
Some more from me:

4. Scrolling: TouchFlo or s2u2 (s2u2 is only for unlocking! no other scrolling so you can use both))

5. Additional Scrolling: Possibly Touch Commander or Slither's Flash cube (the same effect, but free)

9. Phone Dialer (includes 3G Video??): Schen's Kaiser dialer 2 (or something like this)

10. Camera/Video Program: CoolCamera - this one is commercial, but best there is

11. Media Player: TCPMP 0.81 - freeware plays nearly everything: audio video, with plugin even .flv and so on...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gfhii:
Karhu,

Dakujem for the additions: I am also adding Radio 1.48 as that seems to be the most stable for Brooklyn, NY according to a June report....I'm going to test myself, but as of now:

1. A Basic Shell for speed and customization

2. Web Browser: Opera

3. YouTube Browser: VTap

4. Scrolling: TouchFlo and s2u2

5. Additional Scrolling: Slither’s Flash Cube or Touch Commander

6. Maps: Google Maps

7. Wifi Searching: WIFIFOFUM

8: Microsoft Office

9. Phone Dialer (includes 3G Video??): Schen's Kaiser dialer 2

10. Camera/Video Program: CoolCamera

11. Media Player: TCPMP 0.81

Now, I just need to figure out what else needs to go in this thing! Trying to avoid bloat, but don't want to leave out needed functionality! I think maybe I'll find someone's mostly stripped down Rom and just add in - its a start.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KarhU:
More comments:

I think if you are looking for less bloated system you should stick with basic WM5/6 look - Wisbar advance that can customize the whole look of the system runs on the top of the basic shell and thus takes up some precious RAM space. The same goes for bells and whistles like s2u2 or slither's Cube - function of s2u2 is to lock/unlock the device - but a part of the program runs in background as a service and consumes 200k of RAM even when you use the device - it is not much but as you proceed to customize the device the amount of bloat grows.

I think you should also look for some decent task managers: I personally like wktask and Quickmenu, but pBar is also nice. HTC xButton is quite a bloat in this matter. You should think what is the main purpose you will use your phone for - CoolCamera is nice but due to hardware limitation of the Hermes those pictures will always look....like taken by a phone.

When it comes to extra lite ROMs beware - they tend to have memory leaks and some Super storage ROMs even random bricking - hardreset needed to make them work again.

Several other variants:

Peek Pocket in wifi scanner (just one small exe)

Core Player instead of TCPMP (Core player is the commercial succesor of freeware TCPMP)

You should also consider some backup program if planning to fiddle more with your phone:

If you want to save your messages, mails, contacts and stuff go for free PIM Backup.

Hope that helps a little ;)

1. Find a basic HTC shell?

What do you mean? If you want HTC TouchFLO-like shell (the basic one is TouchFLO 2D), get ThrottleLauncher. You can install TouchFLO, but you need to flash your ROM. You also can use Spb Mobile Shell 2 with Diamond theme (search Diamond theme for Spb Mobile Shell in xda-developers forum)

UPDATE : Now it's possible, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=541750 It's the TouchFLO 2D from HTC Touch2 (HTC Mega).. Download the "PATCHED MANILA FOR WM6.1 and non-HTC devices" if you have 6.0 or 6.1

2. If I wanted to ad in an interface, would you suggest the SPB Shell 1.5 + Diary or do you think Pocket Plus 4.0 is smooth, fast and multi-talented?

Spb Mobile Shell!

3. Opera or Explorer?

I usually use Explorer for short time browsing, and Opera Mobile for long time or serious browsing, because we must wait for about 5 seconds for Opera to boot up

UPDATE : With Opera Mobile 10, the Opera is not slow anymore, I'm currently using Opera Mobile 10 as my only and favourite browser on my Hermes..

4. I still cannot watch Youtube, and some websites that require flash to show videos do not like Macromedia 7.0 Flash..they say "upgrade!" Thoughts?

Download the YouTube app, you cannot view on the Windows Mobile browser..

UPDATE : With SkyFire browser, you can..

7. what is the best solution in terms of Iphone like scrolling and unlock? I know 4.0 Pocket Plus has it...its just "ok"...I tried to install Slide2unlock, didn't work for me.

Upgrade your Windows Mobile to Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5

UPDATE : Use Slide2Unlock2 (S2U2), it works on my Hermes (running official WM6 ROM)

8. I also used RealVGA, but didnt' notice a considerable difference. Is it not there, or am I dreaming?

Hermes's screen is QVGA (320x240), so you cannot force Windows to view VGA (640x480)

9. Finally, should I just sell this Hermes 100 (its a "new" refurbished one from AT&T, got it yesterday) and buy a Tilt, or can I do everything I want on this baby!? I've had this type of phoen for a half a year now.....

No, I think Hermes' body is more sturdy than the Tilt (Kaiser)

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rulio6:
Hello everyone, if anyone can help me with this would be fantastic. I bought a Zenfone 2 last November on amazon, and recently it started overheating what I think caused some burned marks on the edges of the screen. I requested assistance from asus and they offered the RMA to fix it or replace it, but I'm afraid to be charged with CID ( consumer induced damage) since my phone have a lot of cosmetic damage. Should I take the chance with the RMA?

[IMG="Screen marks"]https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t34.0-12/13664773_1135760086446818_1173540214_n.jpg?oh=599ebda7d44afdfaebf4e48244347867&oe=578AD228[/IMG]
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trotter516:
I had to RMA mine for basically the same thing (this thread). After hearing nothing from Asus for over a month I emailed them and raised hell. They responded and looked into it. They finally said that they were having issues getting the parts for it and offered me a replacement device which I accepted. My phone was in perfect shape except for the screen issue (used cases and tempered glass from day one) but it would be worth a shot. Just make sure you have a stand-in device before you send it, though.

Looking back I wish I would have just had it repaired by a local place. It would have cost me 80-100 bucks but I would have only been without my phone for a couple of days.

Trying to build the recovery image from the stock boot.img using the script in install-recovery.sh:

#!/system/bin/sh

log -t recovery "Recovery image already installed"

fi

From the stock firmware I have pushed boot.img, recovery-from-boot.p, install-recovery.sh and recovery-resource.dat to /data/local/tmp on my Samsung tablet.

Then do:

adb shell

cd /data/local/tmp

applypatch boot.img:7497728:9dfe8bcc465662a98e8e76d6e52000faa7f5ef64 recovery.img f604ede5ef4f7e94b3381cd7f156488ccc10a9ae 7708672 9dfe8bcc465662a98e8e76d6e52000faa7f5ef64:recovery-from-boot.p

This just creates a 0k/b file named CON and nothing else.

Does anyone have idea where I'm going wrong here?

It seems, I'm having issues with Sha1of the boot.img or the actual boot image itself as it works when I use the path to the actual boot partition.

Does anyone have idea where I'm going wrong here or a solution, a different applypatch binary maybe?

i have tried many ways available in the internet like installing an apk which brings the setting menu and i did a factory reset from there but still it is asking for the previously used gmail account.

frp lock is ON so cannot flash any custom recoveries or Roms

phone is not rooted so cannot delete any google apks

[Sailfish General] dapgo:
What about those android apps which are using the cr*p google services (aka play services)?

Is the installation easy? Seemless? Does the services need a signature ?

Do you need to patch the apks with this requirement?

All this questions are because in BlackBerry, normal android apps work fine but these using the google services are a pain in the ass.

The worst is that many android developers include this depence when the apps doesn't need it... :(
[Sailfish General] MoritzJT:
On Jolla Phone and Jolla C you can install Google Play Store and all necessary services, should you rely on it. It works in most cases seamlessly. The only limitation Alien Dalvik (the Android Layer) imposes on you is the lack of device settings integration. So should an app require to be set a platformwide default like for example Divide PIM asks to be your homescreen, it won't work as Jolla shows the android apps along the sailfish apps and does not have an android specific homescreen ;)

If you need any help, I will link you to a few easy tutorials and howto's ;)
