[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ameet:
Hi guys. I am attaching my 1c684cd8_manila file for some help needed :) This file is not to be used directly since it is customised to my home layout

I need to move the text "Airtel" (carrier name) to the extreme left, keeping the operator logo (Ameet) as is. I have edited the mode9 file in such a way that I only need to replace a .png image called op.png (150x50) in windows dir to change the operator logo ;) Works good for me :)

Can you guys tell me what is to be edited for moving the carrier name to the left. I tried changing the pos x of carrier name in the mode9 file but it just wont budge :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ameet:
Didnt do much good in the earlier section. Got no responses there. Hoping someone might be able to help out in here :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xboxmod:
Hi Ameet

to move operator text position

you need to edit attached lua.

in new manila 90% of item are placed in lua

lots of mode9 value are ignored.

if you need more info ask me.

bye
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ameet:
Hi brother. The file you posted is actually for landscape? (home_landscape.luac)

The script from my file is different (attached my file for comparing :))

TitleBar._visible = true
if OperatorLogo._visible == true then
CarrierNetwork.Position.value = Vector3(208, -15, 0)
CarrierNetwork.HorizontalAlignment = Alignment_Right
end

this is from portrait screen. I dont want to move the operator logo, it is perfect where it is right now. I just want to move the carrier name "Airtel" in screen above post to the left. Which code to be edited for that? :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ameet:
Hey xboxmod, I replaced the home.mode9 file from your package brother :) and edited my 25d04412_manila.lua script as the below to move the clock tab below and the date / alarm tab above it :) Changed only the lua script to avoid editing the main mode9 file directly

clock_tabs.CameraPosition.value = Vector3(0, [COLOR=blue]30[/COLOR], 320)
clock_tabs.LookAtPosition.value = Vector3(0, [COLOR=blue]30[/COLOR], 0)
TabsLeft.CameraPosition.value = Vector3(0, [COLOR=blue]30[/COLOR], 320)
TabsLeft.LookAtPosition.value = Vector3(0, [COLOR=#0000ff]30[/COLOR], 0)
TabsRight.CameraPosition.value = Vector3(0, [COLOR=#0000ff]30[/COLOR], 320)
TabsRight.LookAtPosition.value = Vector3(0, [COLOR=#0000ff]30[/COLOR], 0)
alarmCamera.Position.value = Vector3(0, [COLOR=red]220[/COLOR], 0)

I also played around with the values to get the below scene :D Its not perfect yet but I'm sure someone witll surely find a new theme pack for it :D

clock_tabs.CameraPosition.value = Vector3([COLOR=red]50[/COLOR], 30, 320)
clock_tabs.LookAtPosition.value = Vector3(0, 30, 0)
TabsLeft.CameraPosition.value = Vector3([COLOR=red]50[/COLOR], 30, 320)
TabsLeft.LookAtPosition.value = Vector3(0, 30, 0)
TabsRight.CameraPosition.value = Vector3([COLOR=red]50[/COLOR], 30, 320)
TabsRight.LookAtPosition.value = Vector3(0, 30, 0)

I changed all this only in the portrait right now (if l_2_0._application.Orientation == ScreenOrientation_Portrait then)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] StyL3-Ivan:
Ameet, care to look into Music tab... playlist problem?

When ever i add new playlist, once i do a soft reset, the playlist will be deleted.

thank in advance. =)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ameet:
StyL3-Ivan, I've not hijacked this thread for providing support in editing lua scripts and stuff but for sharing information and learning things :D

We'll surely work on the solutions and new stuff all together, but right now its learning time :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ameet:
This is just a thought process right now to work on moving the QTC image files to storage card (Internal Storage in case of Diamond) This is not a confirmation yet, still in testing. Will keep updating this post as and when more info is found on this :)

Path Value for the 012.qtc to be used from in home.mode9 file is seen as “.\Assets\Images\Home\VGA\012.qtc” which is actually “\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\Home\VGA\012.qtc"

Hence hash name of this 012.qtc file is “1C813F6C_manila”

If we change this path to “\Internal Storage\012.qtc” then the hash name of this same file becomes “5D1AA6D8_manila”

Change the path in mode9 file to “\Internal Storage\012.qtc”

And copy the “5D1AA6D8_manila” file (renamed 012.qtc) to root of Internal Storage

EDIT:

22-Apr-09

This didnt work as suspected. Changed all instances of the qtc path to above, found about 9-10 instances :( Creating a folder called Internal Storage in windows and putting the new hash file didnt work either :( Attaching my home.mode9 and the 012.qtc file (with above hash name) for someone to check. The time below is actually 22:53

EDIT:

23-Apr-09

It might have worked well actually. "Internal Storage" folder in windows was not created correctly. Will try later again on saturday night. I think we need a way to hex the manila.exe in recognising root path of the device. The mode9 files refer to path ".\Assets\Images.." etc etc which means it calls for the HTC folder as "\Windows\."
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ameet:
Can all the lines in all LUA scripts starting from "trace" be safely deleted?

Since these are debug codes, thought it will speed up the Manila a bit :)

for e.g.

trace("HandleLetterSelected=" .. string.char(l_16_0 + 65))
trace("HandleLetterSelected indexJump=" ..

or I can only remove such lines?

trace("+++++++[Programs_ScreenRotation] : ResetListViewContent")
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 12aon:
Yes they can, they are for testing purposes only, 12
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ameet:
But all the lines starting with trace can be removed? Would that really help speed up the manila? :D

xboxmod is kinda busy these days, but hoping he tries and helps me in understanding the hex editing part on manila.exe to make it search for qtc files from root :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jonnrb:
This may sound totally stupid but it's worth a try. Since ".\" refers to "\Windows\", "..\" should refer to "\". Windows CE has no concept of relative paths and ".\" must be included as a pointer to "\Windows\" by HTC. Somehow I doubt they created a "..\" pointer but it isworth a shot. :)

Sorry but I myself haven't tried this yet as I'm slightly new (as in total noob :D) to MODE9 editing and HTC's implementation of Lua.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 12aon:
Should be but Zstupy said it would not matter much though, though I will be removing all trace in my next edits, 12
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
The following screenshot shows what happened when I tried to make it recognize my HP iPAQ 210, HTC Universal and HTC Wizard, in this order. For example, as can clearly be seen, I could only connect my iPAQ 210 in non-RNDIS (that is, the "traditional" serial) mode. You may also run into the same problem; just remember to set the USB connection type to the other mode.

Fortunately, the WinCE file system plug-in worked flawlessly. (Note: you must install it after you've successfully made W7 recognize at least one of your WinMo phones. This will make sure WDMC is installed and the DLL used by the plug-in is made available. Otherwise, you'll get an install-time error telling you a DLL is missing.) That is, you'll have easy access to the full file system of your phone (or PDA) if you plan to stick with Total Commander – just as with the iPhone plug-in.

1.5.3 Nokia Symbian S60

Nokia's Ovi Suite 1.1 (current version as of 01/15/2009): seems to only partially work:

File explorer: works OK

Nokia Map Loader (updated itself to 2.0.2): has continuously kept displaying "Waiting for device" in both PC Suite and Data Transfer modes when started from outside Ovi Suite already having recognized my phone. Started from inside the latter, the same happened.

Content copier: seems to work OK

Nokia Software Updater: isn't compatible:

Nokia Application Installer: a no-go either, it isn't able to read the installed apps:

Note that there is another report on Ovi Suite HERE. He seems to only use it for PIM synching, which also worked on my configuration. However, he doesn't mention whether he had any success with running the failing submodules I've listed above.

Also note that there's a report on installing the standard PC Suite HERE. You might want to prefer it to the Ovi Suite for the time being.

Note that S60 phones are perfectly accessible in mass storage mode.

1.5.3.1 BT dial-up via the N95

BT dial-up networking (via my N95) worked flawlessly on all my three notebooks. Note that even if you install Nokia's suite, it'll list your device as an unknown one:

Nevertheless, BT DUN will still work OK.

You'll also want to download and install ThinkVantage Active Protection so that your hard disk will be protected.

Also, you may also want to install ThinkVantage System Update. It will install the following recommended updates:

Note that it doesn't install for example the Hotkey Driver needed for additional hotkeys. The most interesting app it installed was Lenovo Services' Lenovo System Toolbox (also available as a separate download HERE; see for example THIS for more info), which is pretty nice:

Note that it can also be installed on the a31p; a screenshot showing it running on mine:

Finally, if you have an IBM Thinkpad notebook, don't forget there's a dedicated forum to them at Thinkpads.com - make sure you check it out!

2.3 IBM Thinkpad a31p

I've also installed W7 on my aging, but, because of the UXGA IPS screen, still pretty cool a31p. It works OK, except for the lack of D3D.

I've tried to hack the driver with Mobility Modder (see my dedicated thread HERE); so far, without any success.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
For some reason, it's not possible to run WEI on the a31p, unlike on my TC1100 or t42p. At the end, it always reports an error (note that D3D is disabled):

Note that, while the Hotkey driver (one of the two apps needed to be able to see the on-screen feedback of the volume / backlight etc. messages; the other is the System Interface Driver) isn't stated to be compatible with the a31p, it's working just great on the a31p.

Also note that you won't want to install ThinkVantage System Update as, unlike with newer models, it won't offer to install anything.

3. Verdict - is it worth giving it a try?

Definitely. If you wanted the niceties of Vista, particularly if you're a Tablet PC user, but without the snail-alike speed and major compatibility problems, installing Windows 7 is a must. You won't be disappointed, particularly not if you don't have any kind of driver compatibility issues (most importantly, graphics acceleration problems.) Believe me: Windows 7 is orders of magnitude cleaner, better and faster than Vista.
[General Topics] Confucious:
Loving Windows 7 so far - vast improvement over Vista - even in Beta!

BUT when I try to start WMDC it stops working straight away then the green screen comes up and it says 'connecting' even when no device is connecting - and there it remains....

:(

With Nokia PC Suite, you have to take MSI installer or right click on installer program and set as Windows XP SP2 compatibility, i have Windows Server 2008 and is the same issue

btw,Nokia PC Suite works flawlessly!!
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
UPDATE (somewhat later, the same day):

1.) in the meantime, I've found out there is also an excellent Wiki article dedicated to setting up Windows 7 on the HP TC1100 HERE. It should be the most important guide you follow when updating.

So far, I've tested the following (and found them all working):

a. video driver. By getting the 82.12 installer and, after executing it, it decompressed itself to a directory. I've copied the two hacked files, as is explained, into the directory where the 82.12 installer decompressed itself. After the installation, resuming from sleep started to work. Excellent!

b. the "Mail" button hack. After the recommended Registry hack, it indeed started working; both short- and long presses are registered.

c. the screen rotation hack via the Hardware and Sounds / Tablet PC Settings / Go to Orientation link (it's a link, not a button BTW). After the hack, screen rotation started to work when assigned to a hardware button. (I still need to find out how to make the three "soft" buttons work on the front.)

2.) I keep you posted when I learn something / test stuff. Currently, I'm installing Windows 7 on my IBM Thinkpad a31p to see whether the D3D problems are gone on it too and running the CPU voltage decrease tests on the TC1100 to reduce heat / ventilation.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
UPDATE (9/Jun/2009): I've installed W7 RC1 on the IBM Thinkpad a31p too. Works wonderfully: no video acceleration / suspend / hibernation problems.

It has detected all the drivers except for the video driver (which you'll want to change) and the wireless driver. That is, all I needed to do was getting and decompressing the Wi-Fi (1awc32ww.exe) and the video (1rd635ww.exe) driver and just navigate to the target directories under c:\drivers from the hardware manager, after clicking the traditional "Update driver".

Unfortunately, the old FireGL card in the a31p is unable to do any of the hardware acceleration niceties; that is, don't expect anything fancy. Nevertheless for example video playback works just great - unlike without video acceleration (the case with the a31p running the previous public beta).
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
UPDATE (12/Jun/2009): after reading a dedicated post of a msnews.microsoft.com member, I've also played a bit with external monitors and the usable resolutions.

Under XP, using HP's above-linked official driver, the maximal external resolution is 1600*1200 and there's no way of using 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratios (only 4:3):

Under Windows 7, if you do use the hacked video driver (see the first update above on installing it), you can select anything up to 2048*1536, including 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratios:

These high resolutions do work (I've tested them up to 1600*1024; my TFT monitor only being an SXGA (1280*1024) one, I couldn't test higher resolutions).

This is another advantage of switching to Windows 7, particularly if you have a non-4:3 monitor / projector or one with a resolution higher than 1600*1200 (UXGA). Nevertheless, it might be possible the new driver can be used under XP too, offering the same, additional resolutions and aspect rations. It's just that the official HP driver doesn't.

A caveat: sometimes I couldn't see these resolutions. I had to switch to Portrait (on the primary, built-in one) and remove / reinsert the VGA cable to be able to see them. That is, if you don't see them, don't despair: do the same as I've done.

:eek: Newby question from someone just statring off and not brave enough to enter into registry land....yet.

I have the HTC Hermes (SPV M3100) which has been upgraded to WM6.1 Rom version TNT. 19199 and have found like may others that although i can send files via bluetooth i cannot receive any. due to the donor machine being unable to establish a connection.

I have searched countless forums and discovered that the problem lies with the installed upgrade which would appear to have had a slight error/ommission with the irda/comm manager settings. I have found over 10 similar threads on the same subject, all of which remain unresolved.

A similar problem on a HTC Prophet was answered with a registry fix titled "IRDA fix" however as i'm not ready to dive inside my machines workings just yet.... does anyone have the fix in CAB format.

Im sure that if posted the cab fix would make a lot of people a little happier.

Hello everyone, I would like to announce my latest application available for download on the Android Market

WordWrench Trial

This game works in both portrait and landscape mode. You can use the touchscreen, trackball, or keyboard to navigate the entire game. You can also shake the phone to "wrench" the letters around. Supports sounds and vibrations.

When the market allows developers to charge for applications I will put up a non time restricted version for $1, and I will also put up a demo version with a very limited dictionary for free so that newcomers can try before they buy. Charging for an app may not be the most popular thing, but I definitely put in a lot of work on this game and I think it is the type of game with a high replay rate that would be worth a dollar.

Feel free to let me know what you think

I am working on Greendroid, since Orangedroid is complete, even though the camera doesn't work for some reason. (I've tried to figure it out, to no avail)

Anyways, I am going to make a theme that replaces all the standard orange highlights with android-green ones, and make a few other green-themed changes. It will basically be the default theme, with green accents. It will be a few days before I get a beta ready, since I have a lot of .9.png errors to ry and fix (if anyone can help me with those, that'd be much appreciated). But if you'd like to help, or have questions, comments, etc. Let me know.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Phromik:
Well this looks to be suspended indefinitely, as the .9.png files I have to change don't ever seem to work. They work fine in the 9-patch program, but on the phone they refuse to stretch correctly. So unless there comes a fix for this, I cannot replace all the orange drawables like I wanted. :-/
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Phromik:
Update: Good news and bad news people.

Good news: Stericson has come to the rescue, YET AGAIN! :) And figured out how to fix my .9.png files. In other words, this theme will be made, and come out.

Bad news: The source I used to make the files is based from the android cupcake build, so I won't be able to make a usable version until cupcake is released at the end of the month. But hey, that's not too long from now. ;)

Here's a question for the ones who took apart a touch pro before.

A friend of mine cracked his touch pro and now its barely staying in one piece. However, the phone still works fine, just the casing for it is falling apart. He's willing to sell it to me for a great price. Just wondering, if i have a older modle phone would I be able to place the hardwares from the pro into another casing? Like size is about the same, has keyboard also, just not sure if touch pro will reconize the keyboard of the other phone.

Funny question, I know, but would be great to find out if it'll work or not.

I've been using a 4gb Sd Card for awhile and notice it takes awhile to load my files from it on my phone. I've been Experiencing alot of lock ups to where I can't do anything but remove the battery and reboot the phone. Lock ups happend most when the phone wasn't busy. So Reading upon Tmobile Dash and memory cards I decided to change the card and switch out my 4gb with a 1gb and now my phone is flying. Definetely a huge change in speed entering menus and browsing. No More Lock Up's. So what's the deal with wanting to use a larger SD card without getting the lock up's and running smooth.
