My sister's boyfriend got recruited as part of this.

I work for TMo and didn't hear anything of it officially,

but upon hearing from her that they called him and

recruited him I was damn impressed. I doubt that the

company is doing all this just to make sure that the

next Android of MyFaves works well, so it gets my hopes

up for the future that they're getting some smart folks

on the TMo payroll.
[G1 Android Development] knight4linux:
Agreed, JF and Koush would get a job hands down.
[G1 Android Development] diabolical28:
but if JF and Koushi got Tmo jobs we would lose them because they would be contractually bound and could face legal etc penalities for continuing to help us thwart the security and mod our phones

Hay everybody...

I have a slight problem with the splash screen (am refering to the green color "WINDOWS MOBILE 6.1" Screen) of my diamond.. though the problem is very minute, it is driving me nuts !!..

After i started cooking and flashing new roms onto my device.. The splash screen does not show up correctly.. What i mean sometimes the top bar (which has the start menu, the network bar indicator, etc) shows up along with the splash screen.. and sometimes the keyboard shows up along with the splash screen.. Though after the device has fully booted up and the home screen shows up, everything is perfectly normal... Its just that when splash screen shows up, it looks very ugly.. So I wanted to get rid of this... Could anybody please help !!!??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] R3PUBL1K:
This is very common and happens somtimes to me - I dont see it as an issue - Just annoying. I changed the screen to something with a black back ground s0 it does not look that bad any more.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dpakrawal:
Oh !!

Okhay.. So its a common thing.. Thanks for the info.. In that case could you post your splash screen, i too wanna get rid of this annoying issue... ;-)

Any idea why the connector is slightly different to a normal mini USB (i.e. one corner is slightly rounded).

Anyone had any joy using a miniUSB connector?

I've managed to charge mine using a miniUSB connector but it doesnt seem to connect to a PC with it. I'm wondering if the pin out is slightly different from an apparently proprietary HTC Diamond cable (but the power works)?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] silenty:
No idea why the connector is different, but my Diamon connects to the PC using a standard USB cable... :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] counterfitninja:
There are different types of mini usb cables. Some will not allow data connections from the daim100. I dont the technical reason. However i have cables from freecom usb harddisks that should be data compatible that will only charge the phone and nothing more.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] paulfoel:
Yeh. Mine will only charge....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] oscahie:
I've tried at least 4 different miniUSB cables that I have around and all of them charge and allow data sync.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] turael:
I've used a mini USB from a digicam, both charge and data worked.

I've heard miniUSB wall chargers won't work, though...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] shreki:
you must used in usb standard cabl with shild 5port not 4port
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] MikeKnoop:
I've got an HTC wall charger and it worked with a miniUSB cable I had lying around.

-Mike
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] joe460:
I believe the rounded plug is a HTC ExtUSB™ 11pin mini USB which has the additional pins for audio (headphones, etc). The standard USB Mini-B connector is fine for all charging and data needs providing you have a standard cable (good quality). Some cannot provide enough power to charge/power external devices.

I used a standard miniUSB cable to sync, charge using HTC charger and charge using another charger. However, for some reason phone thought I am connecting to PC when I was charging.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] mugglesquop:
there has already been a thread about this (and there has been on every section of the forum!)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] shun4rm323:
I'm using a Motorola Mini USB cable for both charging and data, works great.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Lost_in_translation:
The Diamond differentiates between a charger and a PC by the use of pin 4 in the cable. On standard USB-cables, pin 4 is not connected. On a HTC-charger, it is connected to ground. If you connect pin 4 to ground, the charger will be seen as a charger, and htc's battery-tool will indicate "AC".

Have fun!
[HTC Excalibur] RDProgrammer:
Hi all,

I'm new here, but love the work you've done. I upgraded to the Kavana ROM. It's great. I had problems with the keyboard and installed the T9full cab to fix the number pad. Now the only problem I am seeming to have is that the @ key (Alt J) is the British pound rather than the @ symbol. I have been unable to figure out how to change it back. I am set up as being in the US and language as English (US).

Thanks,

Just wondering if only AT&T Fuze users are dealing with low speaker/in-call volume or if it's a problem with all Raphael phones.

My volume on my Fuze is silent compared to my previous phone (Treo 700wx).

edit:

If you can, answer these questions

1. What variant of Raphael are you using?

2. Do you think the volume is low?

I had good results after tweaking the audiopara file. See my thread.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rsw686:
Right-click the download link and select save link as. You need to save it directly as a csv. You also need to modify the registry key to use audiopara3.csv

[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]

"AcousticFile"="\windows\AudioPara3.csv"

You can use diamond tweak to do this by disabling the 100 db sound limitation.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hipertec:
I have disabled the 100db from Diamondtweak but my volume is still low. Anyone else found a solution?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rsw686:
Did you try swapping the audiopara file in the link I provided above? That will increase the volume for the earpiece.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hipertec:
Im trying that now but in the windows folder, there is only a audiopara4 file and a audiopara hidden file.

Do I just copy the audioPara3 file without replacing/deleting any other file?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rsw686:
The file is actually there, but some file explorers hide the files in the ROM. I would recommend using total commander.

I was wondering if anyone already tried to create a ROM wich is child friendly.

I have an old Wizard that I might give to my son of 5 to play with.

I also provided a SIM card into the device so that My wife or I can call him when he is at his grandparrents. But most roms provide so many applications and to easy access to the configuration, that it is too easy for my son to screw it up.

So I was looking for a ROM that has an easy menu with BIG buttons.

Most required items requested.

Windows Live Messenger

Games (like bubbe breaker, etc...)

Dailer with only programmed pictures (so he can not call to the bahamas ::cool: )

Configuration of the device should be possible after inserting a password.

Anyone any idea?

Bror
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] S.V.I:
Bump great idea!!!

I really like this idea... really like it!

I suppose that with MANILA it is possible to set the contacts programs and and everthyng... I just don't know how to password protect the settings.

How smart is your 5 yearold?

Also, I know that the wizard was built to last, but how do you know he won't drop it?

I think that you should start collecting programs and games. I think that limiting the access to the settings can be done with initflashfiles.dat OEM_LANG.provxml.

You could access the settings via activesync or pocket controler on the computer, and you could also create shotrcuts to all the settings programs on a separate storage card.

If you know of any programs that limit settings for ppc let me know. I really like this idea!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] sirskull:
He is smart enough to watch closely my actions and to copy them directly. Even experimenting and learning from the results. This last thing bothers me, coz I do not want to spend every night to put everything in order. :eek:

But I can assure you that he does take care for it. From time when driving I already asked him to pick up the phone and he knows to take care. :cool:

I do not think this ROM should need much fancy things...

Call firewall is nice to block unwanted incoming/outgoing phonecalls. So having this in the autostart would be fine.

A replacement for the startmenu but with a password which then gives access to the config settings... (could not yet find anything like this)

On the today maybe 2 manila buttons which is contacts and applications (just a matter of configuration)

Windows Live (so he can send voiceclips in stead of typing)

Lot's of games (sandbox, bubblebreaker)

Browser with youtube support (yes, he knows to handle youtube) :D

Camera ( He likes to take ugly pictures of his younger brother)

all the rest like mobile office and calculater, ... can be left away...

Of coarse a good configuration of the buttons will be important too ;)

Do you have any idea which should be included ?

Cheers,

SirSkull

Windows Live Messenger for a 5yo? Oh my...:eek:

Why not get him a mobile that was actually designed for kids of his age? I heard there is one on the market - makes calls to programmed numbers only, has a few games, plays music etc.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] sirskull:
He fancys dad's phone and is keen on the games on it. So since I have a 2nd Wizard here where the screen is slightly scratched, I do not mind giving this to him. He knows how to use the messenger voiceclips, so when he is at home he can use messenger to chat with me. This would reduce the MobilePhone calling costs. And no, skype is no option since I am not aloowed to install this on my company pc + skype is blocked by the firewalls at my work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Myrddin Wyllt:
Buy him a Nintendo DS. It'll be more expensive, but it'll also be a lot less work at your end, because I guarantee something awful like deleting system files will happen more often than you care to realize.

I foresee many flashings and re-flashings to this phone...

That said, I'd put a manila-flavored ROM on it, and unless you have an unlimited data plan, I'd load Modaco's NoData, lock out all data transmissions except the phone, and remove the shortcut to make NoData harder to find (along with any other settings-related functions. You can also hide the whole Settings directory in QuickMenu, and then turn it back on when you need to adjust something for him.

Parental Controls

I am thinking about givign my 13 y/o one of these as a cellphone... I have an 8925 and so does my older stepsone... MY 13 y/o needs a little more constant supervision.... I am not too concerned aobut bigger buttons and such.. but about child frendly as in parents can have some sort of parental password before the kids do certian things (like Vista does)... Say before he calls someone outside of his contacts list or adds someone to it.... makes a call after a certian time... or even limit the number of min he can use or something.. Any suggestions on any of that?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] S.V.I:
there is a way to get rid of the file explorer as well as the settings menu. without the file explorer you have no access to the windows folder... but you should also realize that you can not delete files that are in rom... however you still have access to the settings apps in the windows folder.

This is what I would do:

1: delete the shortcuts to file explorer and other program shortcuts and move them into a folder to a blank storage card.

2: set the last programs shortcut in the start menu to "total commander on this storage card. since the program can not be activated without the storage card inserted, you have no access to settings.

3. gather all of the "parental control programs" and post the cabs here on thos thread so that they can be cooked in to the rom, without the shortcuts... shortcuts can be made into a cab... or manual copy/paste shortcuts or even autorun CPY1/CPY2 to storage card upon hard reset (hardware buttons)

I think that the most important part for the parents to realize, is that the child should not be limited too much. this is an opportunity for these youths to get a first hands on experience of technology, as well as understanding of computers.

Up untill now these devices were too expesive to hand off to children, now that they have gotten old and cheap, they are perfect tools to help with a child developing their inteligence (problem solving, writing, counting, organization... etc)

there are enough repressed children without life exerience out there. no sex no drugs and no rock and roll unless it is 20 years old and have been tested and proven by Dysney Corp (who put phalic symbols in every movie)

dont be a fashist parent and keep in mind that kids need to learn from experience. I will not cook a rom that limits that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] sirskull:
Call Firewall v1.4 can block selected incoming and outgoing calls. It only needs a macro application in order to minimize (and maybe save) the application after it started up.

My son is free to experiment with my second device ;) (my wife will become angry when she would read this. She thinks I making a geek of him. I call it technological self deployment :-) ) :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] akashastrega:
As a mom of twin 8 year olds...

I cannot cook, however, having 8 year old twins, I know exactly what you are asking for. My kids are techies and love to play around with my wizard, so I think it is safe to say that I understand where you are coming from.

NTS made a WM6 rom quite some time back, which is crazy stable and fast. It is a dinosaur by today's rom standards, however, my kids mess with my phone and it has yet to freak out, crap out, or anything. I would be happy to upload it for you. It is pretty minimal to begin with, and if you add HTC Home, delete a few shortcuts, add one or two programs like tcpmp and call firewall, and some games, I think it would fit your needs. This rom is NOT fancy, does not have manilla, sliders, or any real bells or whistles--it is close to 2 years old, but again, it is crazy stable and seemingly twin proof. The rom is called Jaguar 3.1 if you want to search the threads for it to read up...the links are all dead though. I still have it on my wizard, and while I have tried updated roms, I keep going back to this one because it plays well with children.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] sirskull:
Always happy to test this Jag 3.1 Rom. Maybe we can adopt this version into WM6.1

As far as childproof roms go, I absolutely swear by Jag!

I can upload it if you want to give it a test drive.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] sirskull:
Looks promising... Can you make the rom available too? I'll see what my son thinks about it then.

Linky...

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SO1U6CLF

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

This is a link to the Jaguar 3.1 rom-- created by nottoosmart.

As I said, it is an older WM6 rom, without any real bells or whistles, but it is amazingly stable and kid-friendly. You can install HTC Home (the version for WM5 works best), call firewall, tcpmp for movies and cartoons (using an sd card for storage) and some games and it would be pretty much ready to go.

I do not know if Manilla will work on this rom as I have not tested it myself, but HTC Home can be customized, thanks to the program by emunutz.

It does support Google Maps, Skype, Skyfire browser and those types of "grown up" apps-- so just because it plays well with kids, doesn't mean it isn't capable of kicking ass.

Enjoy.

Hi i have a i780 it had a Greek rom. At this time i did not had any problem writing in Greek sms etc. Now i have installed the Samsung SGH-i780 WM6.1 Build 20273 ROM - V5X HH5 KITCHEN .

For the hardware keyboard i installed aekmap so i can write Greek (still have problem with SMS messages i cant write 160 characters in one sms)

For virtual keyboard i installed PCMkeyboard (But i now i dont know why i cannot change SIP)

A friend of mine has the same phone with the Greek firmware, is there a way to take the files from the Greek phone about the hardware keyboard and the virtual one, so i have Greek keyboard without any addons?

Here is a bit of news from good old M$

http://i.gizmodo.com/5127111/microsoft-fewer-phones-will-have-winmo-in-the-future
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
I like the idea of fewer phones coming out with WinMo. The current situation is a bit like WinMo being a jack of all trades and a master of none. Some real effort to standardise the OS will be a good thing. The OS itself should provide the ideal user interface, not the skin that the phone manufacturer installs on the top. Things like making sure full driver support packages for the hardware it's installed on are native to the OS (just like with WHQL drivers on desktop systems). There should be no avoidance of this by chipset or phone manufacturers. If it doesn't have full driver support then it's not fit to have WinMo installed on it, simple.

p.s. Can you tell I have a video driver-less Kaiser :rolleyes:

Ok, yesterday I've played a little with the Social Network Engine and I've finally dioscovered how to get it to work...

Prerequisiste: have HTC album installed...pretty obiousvly. Then..

1) Install the cab extracted from the Blackstone (I've found it somewhere in this forum, can't remeber exactly where: sorry to the author)

2) Extract the SocialNetworkEngine archive and copy it into your SD. Then move all files into windows folder (using totalcommander, resco or similar). Theese files are part of the oem pack of the original app.

3) Extract the last one archive, that contains only the provxml file, and copy it into your SD. Then open Advanced Configuration Tool made by Shaps, select "Menu" then "Import provxml".

4) Softreset.

That's all guys.

PS: I've got no time to make a cab now, sorry again.

It doesn't seem to work here ... I followed your instructions to the letter but cannot login to facebook or youtube afterwards ..

Youtube says " You input the incorrect username or password " and

Am I to dumb or missing something ?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GriFolle:
No...don't think you've missed something (just to ask: did you made a softreset?) because:

A) youtube should work even without my istructions, just installing the cab.

B) facebook should give you anotherone type of error (something like "connection attempt...")

Theese errors seems to be related to the user/password you've digited.

EDIT:

the facebook error is the same that I had befor import the provxml I've posted here. Did you do it and then softreset?
