Weather and Flipclock Widget

Has anyone been able to successfully implement the Weather and Flipclock Widget?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
Signature links corrected..

@roadrunner - dosent work fr me either...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Roadrunner100:
Works, with a bit of fiddling - See attachments. Data displayed is a bit weird. Was able to go into the control window for this widget once, but then haven't been able to to get it again - weird!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bl@ck:
can you post the .apk file of that widget, please? :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Roadrunner100:
It's in the package! Click long on the Home Screen, select Widgets from the menu, then scroll down the Choose Widget window and select Weather & Flip Clock.

I had to repeat it a few times, trash the widget, and repeat till it displayed properly - about fourth or fifth attempt...

Good luck....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bl@ck:
oh i see, i'm using ION package :) that's why i don't have it, thanks gonna download the other one too.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Roadrunner100:
Apologies. I'm using the Diamond package from connect-utb:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] El Massman:
whenever i've tried using that package everything's always seemed to be running at a lower resolution whereas from your screenshots it seems you're running it at native res. how've you done that? it looked hideous when i tried it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demon83ft:
I think you need to set :

mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=240

to

mddi.width=480 mddi.height=800 lcd.density=200

in your startup.txt.

No?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] El Massman:
ah, been using my own startup.txt so i have none of that in there. will give that a go and see what happens.

thanks

EDIT: worked like a dream. thanks!

Hi,

testing the last DarkStone package, I found something that looks interesting. Sorry if you already knew.

Go to Api Demos -> Graphis -> Finger Paint, and try it. It draws a line whose witdth depends on the preasure! And, if you try to "multi-touch" it, well, it behaves as if it was multitouch!

btw, 3g seems more stable, and battery icon seems to show the actual battery charge, even it doesn't show wheter you are plugged or not.

Hello,

someone try with htc sense ui ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bl@ck:
Sense UI works but we can't initialize it since OpenGL drivers have to be fixed.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
HTC Sense UI is still not running. It's time to get hardware working than working on Android ones basic hardware is stable then we can figure out why it is not running.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
Agree, but also there's no reason why Blackstone enthusiasts can't learn some Android development expertise and start tweaking the package, it's a separate project from the kernel, even though it's dependent on it. No?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bl@ck:
patp you know where i can look for the sense ui source codes? i can start taking a look at them, i've never wrote code for linux but i can try since i work with .net, java and know some c++/assembly.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] calimer0:
fantastic work guys!

i'm really happy to see all this progress going on, keep up the good work!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
You got me wrong patp i am trying to get hero ui working on blackstone every day. I love to see hero ui on my blackstone but what i was saying is basic hardware is very important for us so i was asking every one to help getting basic hardware support.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/

http://code.google.com/p/kaiser-hero/

This two project has lot of hero build and information on how to port hero roms.

I think this will help you get started.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
Yes.

But kernel development is hard, and anyone here who was likely to join that has probably already done so. I don't really know, but Android development looks like it might be easier for someone to start on, and it can't hurt.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bl@ck:
Thanks tux, gonna take a look later :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ReijMan:
A few little things I notice using BLAC100_ION_SNDion.zip:

- While using the phone to browse the internet etc, there is a loud TICK from the speaker now and then, wether or not all sounds are disabled.

- Sometimes the Dailer pops up for no apparent reason.

- The Touch-keyboard doesnt scale.

- The phone isnt so hot anymore, in fact, WM6.5 heats it up more!

- I can browse internet, play some games, youtube, listen mp3s, for over 5 hours, this is longer then I can in WM6.5 / WM6.1. Powersink is during standby. (backlight doesnt turn of, but we're aware of that)

Thx for everyone's time on this project!

Doesn't work for me. No pressure detection / No multitouch feature.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Imperium:
I cannot seem to get my data connection working in any android build..

I tried the instructions to turn on data before launching haret. But that does not work either. i cannot open the APN settings because nothing appears.

Can anyone please tell me how to set up the data connection?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] itchy8me:
nuthin here.. no multitouch or pressure sensitivity
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demon83ft:
Hi there,

the package you mentioned above should work :

Try this :

Edit startup.txt and add your APN and user/pass. If no user/pass is needed leave none.

"ppp.apn=internet (for me example , depends on operator)

ppp.username=none

ppp.password=none"

When connected to data on WinMo start Haret.

Go to APN > new APN > add name, apn as above , user / pass ( not needed in my case).

If asked for two more parameters (MMC / MNC) just add 224 and 24 .. in my case I couldn't save it without a value but later they got corrected automatically (226/10).

If it doesn't appear in the list don't worry.

turn on airplane mode.

turn off airplane mode.

Works nicely from there.

If still doesn't work try to restart android.

Eventually even the APN shows up in the list without any further action.

Found this:

http://download.nicksoft.info/linux/backuplivecd/squashfs-tools.zip

allows extraction of sqshfs files in windows. There are a lot of GL library files in the system images...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] christine600:
It would be really helpful if we tell which zImage and which Android-build we use when we report things that work or does not work. Then the developers can look at their source code and find the differences that caused this behaviour and learn from it. :) If we do not say what we are testing then the reports are not so useful. ;)

Yes I know it's easy to forget when we are exited about this :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Imperium:
Thanks for your reply! The only problem is, how many times i try, the APN menu will not show up! it keeps black and eventually an error comes up (timeout)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mc S.H.O.:
for apn settings. go to that black screen and click on your home butten and then make a new apn...thats it
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
Are you sure? Well, I'll try to post a video later...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] foulke:
Which version do you use ? That could be the explanation. I was on :

Is there a list somewhere of all testing packages ?

Can we edit the first post of this thread to sum up all these info (how to install/ use customise/ build...)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Imperium:

Guys

Could any of you add "telnetd" to next package?

Is there any way of me adding this to /system/sbin?

I tried to remount read write but I got : permission denied (are you root?)

Are there any telnet server alternatives (that's a telnet server right?).

Rob
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] 4irm:
Exactly, you'd find a lot of supporters, donaters respectively once android runs smoothly. but for now it is unusable.

So keep up your great work. thx.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] townkat:
as your question seem to be somehow developement related i think you should ask it in #htc-linux at freenode,

there is also an java applet if you don't have any mirc app in handy http://java.freenode.net/

btw, what do you want to do with it ?

Hi guys,

Can sum1 pliz give me a link to download Android ROM for my HTC touch HD ? i want the latest and the best android ROM for my HD

Thanks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] drrogern:
Im sure you will get a link any sec, but i just want to warn you that android on blackstone is still far from ready to everyday use. Still fun to play with though!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] foulke:
mulitouch and pressure ?

I've just tried that version.

No way that multitouch can work. What you get with two fingers is an average x and y coordinates of your two fingers.

No pressure effects too. Are you on a Blackstone ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] darkdominus:
Can someone please help me? I think i'm doing something wrong, i just extracted all the APP from Hero system.sqsh and i want to install in ION version. Can i do that???? Android is allways saying that the app can not be installed on this phone, or is this a very stupid thing to do????
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] darkdominus:
Hi, i'm trying to boot the Tatoo version. This is what happens:

The Tatoo boots "The little green android appears but only in 320x480, just in the top left of the screen", ask me to calibrate the screen using what appears to be 480x800 and after that it's stuck in the lock screen. But at least it boots
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeanfrederic:
+1000!

but it 'd better not to find it if he even can't read the lasts two pages ;)

Guess what will happens then "Plz sum1 halp , Android dont wurk, blah blah" ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] itchy8me:
i think you meant "touch paint".. the multitouch response is averaging and the pressure sensitivity is surface area contact of your finger. take the stylus and try it, it won't work.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
i so much agree wid ya....:rolleyes::cool:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cyclone_storm:
Whuhaha yeah indeed, your absolutely right. Or: "Why doesn't it work for

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Imperium:
anyone? G appears, then a cross in the signal bar, then the G reappears, then the cross reappears.. it is not usable.. the settings in the APN are correct.

sounds familiar to someone?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demon83ft:
Sometimes the whole radio part ( signal + data ) becomes unstable ( maybe it keeps crashing ) goes up and down .. but restart solves it ... it's not stable yet.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demon83ft:
To SSH to my phone directly from desktop .. thus I guess you can play with it more comfortably.

Form what I understood that link I'm following should provide with SSH server ...

But at a specific step the Hero rom has that "telnetd" which I don't ...

Rob
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Imperium:
Tried restarting like 5 times, does not work unfortunately.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] itchy8me:
ya.. try reseting device, in winmo open data connection, then boot through haret. once in android open browser.. it'll probably do its on off thing again.. wait about ten minutes and refresh the browser.

This works sometimes for me, but not always.. i dont even know if it's a real fix, but once it's working it doesnt seem to go faulty anymore for the whole droid session
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demon83ft:
Same handset same package same kernel should not behave differently .. unless radio conditions are bad in your area ... that's the only think I can think of now .. sorry
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Imperium:
No problem, i appreciate the help.

Just have to wait for a more mature release i guess, nothing to do about it.

Keep up the great work, all of you!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demon83ft:
Anybody got exchange working (syncing contact/calendar/mails) ?

I only found third party but even those can't connect for some reason.

Rob
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cyclone_storm:
Yeah I have it already working for day's now, it works perfect over here. And

not only Gmail, Calendar, and contacts but also a Hotmail address in the other

email option. The only thing I had to do was get the data connection to fire

up. When 3G or GPRS works, the rest works to.:D:D:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demon83ft:
Well i'm happy but would you give some details :) ?

Support for exchange out-of-the box comes only on magic because of HTC.

I'm not talking about IMAP (hotmail / yahoo) but ActiveSync (M$$ Exchange). I presume you used third party .. right? Touchdown?

Can you write down the settings you used? Pass / user / mailserver ?

Was there anything special that the software doesn't like when giving the user/pass/server?

Rob
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cyclone_storm:
You know your on the Android Thread right. I mean syncing up you Email,

Gmail, Calendar and Contacts it a huge part of Android. When you boot it

up the first time you just have to put in all you personal Google Data and it

just syncs up, nothing more nothing less. :D:D:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demon83ft:
Well, I know we are on Android thread but we do work also ...

And of course I got it working with the other things that's why I specifically mentioned Exchange :).

So did anybody got that working by any chance?

Rob
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] itchy8me:
i dont know about activesync on android. what i do know is that at this moment usb and bluetooth dont work and probably are not even implemented yet. therefore no activesync connection would be possible.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] itchy8me:
i correct myself, when i run ifconfig i see 2 usb networks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demon83ft:
Syncing with exchange through data plan is also called activesync for some reason.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] itchy8me:
by the way,

i read someone here head seen the light sensor working, was that confirmed? i haven't seen mine work yet..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tikejhya:
sorry guys if its funny..

can i know what do u use to edit those sort of codes i mean which language and how can i edit that image file and data files..

i just wanted to make some attempt

thanks.

cheers
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cyclone_storm:
Ooooh oke haha:). Exchange also means that it exchanges the data from the

Google Server and the phone so there both up to date. I misunderstood you.

Sorry about that. :D:D:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demon83ft:
no worries
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ReijMan:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] itchy8me:
at the bottom of the blackstone wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlackstoneLinux) you can find the link to the git server that hosts the source of the KERNEL.. not android

if you want to learn more about the kernel try serching for "linux device drivers filetype:pdf" on google.

You can read all the source code of the kernel in a text editor. the code is written in c, and a very small part is written in assembly (the bootloader [edit: sorry not the bootloader, the bootloader(grub,lilo) is not part of the kernel]).

there are many good free C tutorials online.

good luck!! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
Yeah, that explanations match what I've seen.

I've not still been able to record a video of it, but YES, it depends on the pressure (sorry, the surface;)) and yes, it is a blackstone. At least, it looks like a Blackstone and it costed as much as a Blackstone :D

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kingofslide54:
Hi, Mwchadwick, thanks for updating the wiki!

I would have done it, but my english is not good enough...

A couple of questions about things I've seen in te wiki:

Wht does this mean? I haven't seen ANY effect in this button in any "distro". Does it mean that developers are about to get it work, but still have not?

In the first packages (before developement stop and restart) there were five buttons (Talk/Home/Back/End and a fifth Menu button between home and back). Now distros seem to have only four buttons, menu in the orignal home button, and no actual home button. I liked the way it was implemented before. Are there plans to set the buttons like this again?

Thans!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] FabianNL:
I already changed it, saw it too.

Tux - you mentioned that you think it is GL drivers that are preventing Hero builds working. Have you go any dmesg or something that tells you this? I noticed while playing with various system images that the contents of /lib vary a little (libsgl.so had a different version in a recent sapphire rom compared to the version in most Vogue android builds).

Most are using infrared which isn't really available in current devices anymore. And afaik infrared in mobile devices will only have a range of at most 1 meter (optimistic guess).

Does the blue flashing light indicate that bluetooth is on?
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
there is a special remote which can connect to a comp. you can send signals to whatever you like... BUT, it's problematic.

As i stated like a year ago in a guide i wrote about bluetooth services,

the only bluetooth service working with AD controllers is the GXP port.. which you don't have on windows mobile.. it's not software related.. sorry.
[General Questions and Answers] aiiro:
You could use NetRemote via WiFi (and configure MortScript to connect to Your home WiFi network automatically if it approaches a certain mobile cell tower so if You are near home You are already connected to NetRemote server) and use an IR repeater from the server for the door. This is a theoretical concept which I haven't tried but in theory - why shouldn't it work?
[General Questions and Answers] joel2009:
You would probably want to use gps, not a cell tower id, and yes it is theoretically possible to make your phone trigger something to open your garage... but i think the questions was can you use your phone to open your garage door.
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
you can't use GPS as GPS can only send signals.. not receive...

you would be able to connect to your comp using wifi but then you'd have to be able to send signals through your home network to the garage door. the problem is not the sending of the signals but the receiving by the door.

of course it's "possible" but it's somewhat of a project to have the receiver operate the door... at least the way i see it.
[General Questions and Answers] aiiro:
Joel - wouldn't the outcome be the same, meaning using your phone to open garage door? Of course, the simplest way would be to buy a gsm controller, insert a SIM there with a number and hook the controller up with the door, so when you call the controller it opens the door. That solution is expensive tho and you can't use it for other stuff like with NetRemote - you can practically control anything with IR or ZWave repeaters.
[General Questions and Answers] untrueparadox:
lol, $100-200 for a gsm controller, then a $40 monthly plan for the gsm? i say just go buy a remote. they sell keychain sized garage door remotes at home depot for like $20 and last about a year for the cell battery opening the door about twice a day.
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
I have a suggestion tho.

try searching for a bluetooth controller.

someone here would have to write the application for you..

but if you manage to find a bluetooth controller, you might (you need to know how) be able to connect it to the engine.. and give it the what... 10mA trigger it needs?
[General Questions and Answers] PauloJ5:
What about a radio (funk) controller ? Can our handhelds do that ?
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
