Can't imagine the phone side to be too hard - my first shot would probably be WLAN since that's the easiest way to get some connection working. Once you have that simply passing gsen / dpad / buttons (maybe even touchscreen input?) to the PC should be rather trivial.

The harder part is probably to write a gamepad driver for windows that interprets that input data and transforms it to DirectInput compliant information.

While I certainly know how to do the phone side - I am somewhat unsure about the PC side. The last time I did some driver coding is AGES away. I don't even know if opening a TCP/IP socket from inside a driver is possible/a good idea. Maybe one would need a daemon-like user space program to read the input from the network and feed it to the driver...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dajudge01:
Geez I wish I had time to look into that - if their stuff was open source I am sure we could leverage about 90% of their XP driver implementation (which most likely they managed pretty well)...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mugglesquop:
do we need to remake drivers?

you can get Python (program used) for PocketPC, and it just bluetooth on to PC with NiiMe software....

testing now...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dajudge01:
while they seem to use python on a S60 phone - this doesn't directly translate to doing the same thing on a WiMo diamond... The fact that they released their source under the GPL makes reusing their PC software a viable option though.

Speaking of GPL source - has anyone found their code available for download on their site?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dajudge01:
Okay guys - you got me as far as installing a devel enviroment and writing a simple gsen SDK based test app now - if there's someone willing to spend some time on the PC DirectInput driver side I'm sure we can get somewhere with this...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dajudge01:
Hey :-)

I'm currently working on a little client-server (TCP/IP) thingie to at least get GSensor data from the Diamond to the PC - once that is done there's still the very ugly part of writing a DirectInput driver that acts like a gamepad...

If anyone wants to take over the driver-writing part things would progress much more quickly I guess :D

Sadly I don't have too much spare time at the moment to spend on the matter though.

Cheers,

Alex

whoever does figure this out will be the man. when it does happen i just hope it will do the job for the cdma version coming to telus on or around august 6th
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dajudge01:
I have a .NET client/server pair running in an WiMo6 emulator now sending what could actually be GSen data at a fairly decent rate. Not considering the GSensor it's pretty much phone independent.

And if anyone tells me how to get rid of the files VS2k5 places on my Diamond for debugging the application I'll try the same thing with a real GSensor :-) I am just tired of hard-resetting my Diamond in order to clean up the mess done by the development environment...

Cheers,

Alex

Edit: Okay, I tested it on my diamond by simply copying over the two required files (no debugging possible though) and transferring GSen data either via ActiveSync (say Bluetooth) or WLAN works nicely. But I'm afraid it's necessary to keep the device awake to avoid lags (does the diamond reduce CPU speed on standby?).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sfawzy:
the pc side is really simple

the pc side is really simple to implement i can do it but it will take me some time since i am really busy at the moment at work and i dont have a diamond to test it on. to implement the driver for the game pad you can use this link as a bais for the code. here is the link :

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/MoyStick.aspx

you can start the pc side with it. if you had no luck with it contact me when you finish the diamond side and send me the protocol that you will use and i can implement it for you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dajudge01:
I already have a user space .NET application running on the PC receiving the GSen data (and eventually more later on - dpad, buttons, screen etc.) and possibly sending forcefeedback info to the phone... So basically all that's left to do is actually writing the driver and exchanging the data between the app and the driver.

My reasoning for a userspace application as connection endpoint is the following:

Keep the driver simple

Allow user interaction (different profiles for different games - e.g. racing game vs. flight simulator)

Sending touchscreen themes for different games (much like those keyboards where you can put on different "skins" for different games)

Keep all the complex stuff (interpolation of GSen data e.g.) in userspace - more stable, easier to develop

Keep the Phone-App simple - if the phone doesn't have too much to do maybe the battery will last longer

Thanks for the link though - I hope I find the time to look into it and have my workstation used as the debugging machine. Last time I did driver development on windows was Win98 where you could simply startup the kernel in debugging mode - I guess much has changed since then!

Thanks for your input!

Alex
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dajudge01:
Okay, I have a simple calibration on the Host (PC) in place - seems to work nicely. Next thing in user space will be some filtering to get the sensor noise out - I don't know yet if I am going for a fully blown kalman filter or a simpler approach.

Trying to run the client on the diamond for a extended period of time now... right now it's running like one hour and the battery is two bars down with WLAN used for connection to PC. So if that adds up the diamond should sustain around 4-5h of gaming until the battery runs dry.

Still looking for someone to take over the DirectInput driver part ;-) Anyone interested?

Cheers,

Alex
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tha_rami:
Wish I could help for a while, but my driver programming has faded over the past few years with game design taking over. I might take a quick look at it, but don't hold me to that please.

Interesting stuff, though - Would be extremely cool.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dajudge01:
Okay, I found a open source gamepad HID driver from the Xbox Controller Driver project - but as I said I am way off driver programming these days. But I guess it's a good starting point.

As far as a development environment is concerned - I think the following would suffice:

VirtualBox for the Debugging instance of Windows XP

Of course a Windows XP copy to run inside VirtualBox

The Windows Driver Development Kit (the one for Windows Server 2003 is available for free download and should do the job)

The Windows Debugging Tools

As far as the userspace side on both the PC and the phone is concerned I use the following setup:

Visual Studio 2005

Windows Mobile 6 SDK

If some hardware/driver person would attempt a kick-start at this things would probably result in a usable software quite soon... The user-space stuff on both the Phone and PC works pretty nicely already.

What basically needs to be done is a HID gamepad driver that gets the GSen data fed via ioctl and passes that on to the WDM interface. All necessary conversion can be done on the PC's userspace without problems. The interface between app and driver would be defined by the driver programmer... Note: the driver interface should be accessible via .NET (if necessary via access to native DLLs).

If you're interested - just PM me or post in this thread :-)

Cheers,

Alex

My preferred set up for my op6 is having one slot rooted and the other not rooted while on oos 9.0.9.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] flyingcowofdoom:
I couldn't find anything already posted about this. Every day or so, my notification settings will clear. Specifically, the checkboxes for "Play Sound", "Display message on screen", "Flash light for", and "Vibrate" will become unchecked for every event. The listboxes for the sound file and the "flash light for X minutes" don't get reset, just the checkboxes. My ringtone settings are also unaffected.

This is driving me crazy because when it happens I won't get notified for new e-mail, text messages, or reminders until I realize it and check the boxes again. I haven't been able to figure out what causes this to happen. It's not after a soft-reset, as I can do a soft-reset and the boxes stay checked.

Has anyone else ever had this problem?

I'm using ROMeOS v3.1, Windows Mobile 6.1, OS 5.2.19214 (Build 19214.1.0.4)

The bug occurs when exiting Opera. When you exit, it wipes out the notification settings. I can't stand PIE, so I created a .Reg file I can run to reset my settings after I use Opera.

Excellent! I was just about to post about this too. For me it was always just settings for one notification, such as email or text messages. Also, today I noticed my backlight timeout was reset to 10 seconds instead of 5 minutes. That's only happened once. I hope not using opera fixes that, too.

How about just downloading the new Opera beta released a week ago? Notifications bug fixed in this build...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] k1sr:
better solution

I took a punt on this one, and it seems to work... the general consensus is that this is an Opera issue... so rather than reloading reg settings, try opening Opera up then doing the settings the way you want them. Opera will then reset to those settings only, which fixes the problem...!

I tried it and it seems to work...

Let me know if it works for you.

just download the latest official beta and be done with it

Background: the problem you are referring to only applies to the FIRST OFFICIAL BETA released late 2008. a few weeks later, a NEW OFFICIAL BETA was released which fixed EXACTLY the problem mentioned in this thread (among other problems). i'm surprised this thread has been revived in Q1 2009 when opera fixed this admittedly annoying issue back in Q4 2008 !!!

Just as the title says, I have my A7 2017 (A7y17lte) with the official Lineage 16 rom (Android 9 Pie)

The problem is that maybe many did not notice but this rom has a very transparent "watermark", barely noticeable to the eye but once it is notes you can not stop seeing that detail, and it is not a small watermark, it is a screenshot where you can see the keyboard, the taskbar and an application that I can not distinguish well which is by that the image is very transparent.

This watermark remains on the screen at all times from when the cell phone is turned on until it is turned off, is there any way to remove it?
[General Questions and Answers] Kaijones23:
It’s probably an screen burn in do you have a pic?
[General Questions and Answers] Spentattooart:
In the screenshot the watermark does not appear since apparently it is a layer that is on top, this layer or "watermark" appears about 3 seconds after turning on the phone, before the "boot animation" appears. "Then that mark of sgua remains on the screen until it turns off, it is not a problem on the screen and that image is not from my cell phone, the application shown in that image does not give any that I know or seen, only that that image is a screenshot where you can see the open keyboard, a blank app and the notification bar above

Softbrick or hardbrick? Are you still able to get a response (green or blue led) when plugging it in to a pc via flashmode and/or fastboot?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] NextGeneration9501:
hardbrick to me. flashmode doesn't work anymore. fastboot still can boot. but it's useless anyway. all flashing/ unlock commands just give me "command not allowed" error. if i ground one of the pins of the phone and disconnect the battery before i connect it to pc, i got SOMC Flash Device in Device Manager. Tried faking it as Qualcomm HS USB Loader 9008 and get QFIL to read partition table. No response and then timeout error. S1tool 19V2015 version (this is the latest i could find on google) just gives me "HARDWARE NOT SUPPORTED" error.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] &(*):
Yeah, I don't think s1tool is compatible with that boad (X performace); try SETool2 ( https://files.setool.net/support/SETool2/ ) & read ( https://support.setool.net/showthread.php?3-UPDATES-AND-NEWS/page666 ).
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] NextGeneration9501:
when i launch the tool, it says smartcard not found. doesn't it requires the box? it costs hella more than my phone ?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] &(*):
Are you downloading it from this link ( https://mega.nz/folder/s5knUKJa#JFUJb-9-AJr27vTl_MJ9GQ )? I see another .rar archive named scripts did you unpack it and read the instructions? Btw, is your bootloader unlocked? Don't give up, there is a free version out there. Write on the forum for SE2Tool and see.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] NextGeneration9501:
no, my bootloader is locked. obviously came from softbank japan. checked it too before flashing.

EDIT:- if i can even use setool, holding down the volume down button while connecting to the computer just end up with blinking green led light on my xperia. the computer doesn't detect it. when i use testpoints, the computer detects as SOMC Flash Device. here's what i did so far to attempt flash using testpoints

1) flashtool method:- not working. mtp error. shows message like "for 2011 device line, make sure to turn off mtp". i can't even boot my phone to go to settings to turn off that thing

2) emma method:- not working. doesn't detect anything

3) s1tool method:- hardware not supported error

4) setool2 using the link you've provided:- smartcard not found. i don't have and can't even afford the box.

5) qfil method:- faked the somc flash device as qualcomm hs usb loader 9008. doesn't work. timeout error.

* before i see the somc flash device, the computer detects it as QUSB_BULK

* i will probably donate some money to someone who can bring my phone back to life again
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] &(*):
Try what I posted in the previous reply ( https://mega.nz/folder/s5knUKJa#JFUJb-9-AJr27vTl_MJ9GQ ). There are other scripts you might of missed. I don't see how a smartcard device is needed, though I could be wrong. That should be the correct software to fix boot and unbrick your device. There might be a post on the many pages of the forum that provides SE2Tool to help you find the solution. Are you sure you have the right points, when the light stops blinking that is your indication the board has been put into flash mode. You might have to pack the boot partition into a different format (.ftf) to get it to flash with the software ( https://sony.yt/topic/5324-s1tool-t...l-xperia-qsd8250-msm7227-msm8255-smartphones/ ). Was able to unbrick a docomo Z1C with the suggested method. When you do accomplish the task, write a tutorial for other's.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] NextGeneration9501:
opening setool2 from link provided https://mega.nz/folder/s5knUKJa#JFUJb-9-AJr27vTl_MJ9GQ

same error. smartcard not found. probably needs that expensive box. is there any loader though? to bypass this error?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] &(*):
Write who provided the software on the SE2Tool forum and ask if you are using it correctly; I'm pretty sure you don't need a device to run it and the software should suffice for what you need it to do.
