[General Questions and Answers] gciochina:
Hello!

Couldn't find a similar question, sorry if it's been posted before.

I'm working on a mobile application written in C# .Net CF 2.0 for WM 5/6/6.1

Currently the client has asked us to customize the Close(X)/Ok button on the right upper corner of the screen (the button that closes the form/application).

I'm talking about this button.

He wants us to change it's look&feel (meaning that the button would be represented using a picture, and upon clicking a form should open.)

Like this:

Is this possible? I know this means redrawing the NonClient area, but how exactly do i do this?:)

And could this be done using API calls? what api calls should me made in this case?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] gciochina:
cmooon guys, the deadline is getting closer :(
[General Questions and Answers] Ather:
an another work around could be to make the app full screen, later create a picturebox ;)
[General Questions and Answers] gciochina:
Thanks for the suggestion! :)

Yes, indeed you are right, when it can be applied, i too recommend that the application be made full screen and the buttons be added after.

But the solution above is for the case when there is still need for the "start" button and status bar to be shown. anyways, i've solved the issue, the management is happy, the client is happy so everything went okay ;)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] m00moo:
A new theme I made whilst pretty bored lol My first please bare in mind!! Hope you guys like it.

This theme was made for my Touch Diamond so some shortcuts/buttons may not function correctly depending on your phone.

This can be fixed by click-holding and correcting the target yourself.

Requirements:

- Wisbar Advance Desktop 2

- Mortscript (located at the bottom)

Instructions:

Make sure you have Wisbar Advance Desktop installed first.

Install the Simplicity.zip contents inside \Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar Advance Desktop\Theme folder.

followed by Simplicity Plugin.cab and Mortscript.cab.

Open WAD2 Settings, and scan for new themes.

Simple ;)

Known Issues:

The Notifier for SMS does not clear when reading sms in the Messages Tab.

This is a scripting problem with the program and not the skin itself and thus i cannot do much about.

Feel free to tweak or edit as you wish

Donations are welcomed - Thankyou :)

Simplicity v1.0.cab ??? Missing!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] m00moo:
sorry there was a problem with the .cab + WAD.

Manual install appears to work fine for me so please report.

Thankyou
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wez89:
Great theme, i noticed you have an issue about the sms not hiding when count=0. did you hide the notifications in author mode?? just tap and hold on the screen and then click page, then hide notifications! you may have already done this but if you havnt its a possiblilty this is whats causing the problem (:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] m00moo:
sorry i left it on show on purpose. What i meant by not hiding the notifier is that, for example i recieve an text message. The notifier will display a number "1" beside the icon on the top. I can view the message in the messaging tab/dock, but the status of the message will still be shown as unread, and the notifier number "1" will stay.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wez89:
The only thing i can think of is linking the actually messaging notification to the messages this way works within my theme, but then again its still an issue, for example you cud click the notification and the number goes back to '0' but click the messaging tab and the number remains '1'

Is there no script that would allow you to 1, open messages and 2 set the messaging notification back to zero once messages have been read?!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dinomitedan:
so i cant use diamond config for this? and i read the requirements, but whats the difference between the two- diamond config. over wisbar advancde desktop 2
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dickenz:
No. Diamond config is for TF3D themes. This is not TF3D. It is Wisbar Advance Desktop. As the topic says. The difference is they are two separate programs!

@m00moo,

Posted in your other thread in Development and Hacking.

Your Simplicity.zip doesn't contain any of the images - You need to Export theme in Wisbar.

Cheers.

Help

Where do i get Advance Desktop for my HTC Diamond
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] 0ge:
Hi!

First of all, thanks for a great community! I just registred, but I've been reading a lot the past days.

I'm in the process of buying a Hermes (a bit late, I know), but I have some questions that I can't seem to find the answer too.

The memory is naturally way to little and the Micro SD-cards are really cheap, so I will buy one. But, I've read that only MS Mobile 6.0 and above supports SDHC (which is what I want), and that it comes with 5.0. Is the upgrade to 6.0 free and I can do it with the ROM(s) found here? Does this mean I can use SDHC by flashing with the original ROM? If I do, do I still need to buy an extra SD to flash with?

I hope I made myself clear. Thanks in advance!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] boog:
Hello, and welcome to the forums. There will be a lot of research in your future! :D

You can upgrade to 6.0 for free, You want to research how to make sure your phone has hardspl. I would do that first! It can save you from having a brick, instead of a phone! The page you linked to should be all of the stock shipped roms, and I can vouch that the AT&T WM 6.0 works for the sdhc cards.

Then you can also research how to make sure your phone is sim/cid unlocked.

If you start getting the flashing bug, flashing the radio is probably the easiest way to get a brick!

There is ton's of info out there to be had, use the search function at the top right of the page to google for the info you have so far now. I think there is months worth of reading! It is all there, the phone has been out long enough that someone has probably already had any issue that you could expect to have, and has posted about it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] 0ge:
Yes, I imagine it will...

Yes, I've read how to upgrade, but I wasn't sure if this "replaced" the operating system, or if I had to download/buy Mobile 6.0 to use those ROMs. Excellent that it works with SDHC cards! I've gotten a bit confused though, I don't need a SD card to flash, right? Only a USB-cable if I flash it through the computer?

I don't think it's SIM-locked since I don't buy it from a cellular company. And I think I will wait flashing anything else than official ROMs.

Indeed there is, but it's so much it's hard to figure out what's up-to-date and what's not. But I will continue to read!

Thanks for your reply!

I've started to wonder, how good is movie playback on this device? I realize I can't play HD, but if I have a movie that's, say 640x480, will it playback smoothly? I know the resolution is to big for the screen, will it work anyway? If I scale it to 320x240, will it work then?

Lastley, is around $300 to much to pay for a brand new (unlocked)? It seems a bit high, but I'm not sure. Since it's an old phone, the price might not be updated on the site. What should I expect to pay?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gsand:
what!?

Three Hundred Dollars!?

I got mine for $100 on craigslist

It has a few minor scratches on the case, but the screen is perfect.

the ones that are practically new go for around 150.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] 0ge:
Hm, as I suspected. This one, however, is bought from a company, so I won't probably get it for $100, but at least $200 (unfortunately eBay is not an option at the moment). Thank you! You probably saved me a $100! :D

Can anyone tell me about the video playback question I had? That's the only thing that's holding me back.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Theres a stack of conversion programs that will convert to 320 X 240 really well. Video playback is pretty good but HD is DEFINATELY not gonna play, remember the problem with the Hermes is RAM.

Video playback was better than Kaiser though, may not be anymore, quit reading about that a long time ago.

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] 0ge:
I know, but what about 640x480? Will it work?

Hm, how come the playback was better on Hermes than Kaiser? Kaiser has twice the RAM.

It seems that I still have to pay $300 for it though. :( Or add $100 for the Kaiser.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] boog:
I haven't tried too many videos on my hermes, just random things from emails, some play and some do not, I didn't really look beyond that. Though it plays music (mp3) just fine.

I only gave $75 for my hermes through someone I know, they got a deal on it, and passed the deal along. $300 is way too much!

And, you don't have to flash from the sd card, but I hear there have been issues with flashing from Vista. If you have XP you will be fine. I don't have any machines running vista, so I haven't tried to see what any issues may be, or what workarounds (other than sd card) might be. But, flashing from the sd card is probably the "safest" way to flash, you don't have to worry about a bad cable, if the cable gets knocked out, if the computer crashes/freezes, power failure....you get the idea.

Your gonna be addicted to the phone either way! :D Mine is my favorite gadget!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mthomas:
300 is way tooo much for this device. I wouldnt go above 100. I ddont know what country you are in, but their must be some other options for more current devices.

before you start flashing READ. see mr vanxs guide to upgrading.

device is useless without an sd card. Also much safer flashing from a card.

wm6.1 is where you will end up. Official roms are garbage. I currently use crcinau 13 stable rom. see the wm6 for hermes forum.

If you are in the US consider a fuze from att with a contract. It will cost the same as the one you are looking at now. Why is ebay not an option?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] veyka:
Kaiser has issues with video drivers, which makes 2D/3D performance a bit weak.

It has got a lot better, but the Hermes is still smoother as far as I can tell.

$300 is no way worth it, I got my 2nd Hermes for £110 shipped and that was kinda expensive.

Best bet would be to find someone you trust to buy you one off ebay and get them to ship it.

If you are using XP, its easy enough to flash via the computer, just do radio rom upgrades Via SD card.

If you have vista, then you will have to-do most things via SD card, but Its doable.

You wont want to use a OEM/Shipped rom, they are no way as good as the cooked WM6.1 ones.

I would recommend CRC's rom's if you want a clean, stock feeling (aka no TF2D) rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] 0ge:
Thank you for your reply! Very helpful! I read about the problems with the Kaiser, and it seems I will go for a Hermes. (Man, I really hate that name)

The reason I wanted to use original ROMs was that the guarantee would still be valid, but that's not an issue any more. Unfortunately, I'm using Vista, so I suppose I'll have to buy an extra SD-card (since I need at least 8 GB extra storage). Now I'll just have to find a good ROM. *Sigh* Can't things just be perfect when you buy them? Thanks anyway! I'll look into the CRC-ROMs.

And eBay is not an option since most people only ships within US, but I might have found an alternative...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] addicus:
You should look into the many players that play just about every file. I personally like the control that Core Player gives you plus it works great with my Bluetooth Stereo headsets.

Here is a link to a free conversion program (not warez) that will do all the converting for you in a very fast manner.

http://vio.thepiratebay.org/

And if you have $100-150 dollars than get a paypal account and buy one on ebay. $200 is too much for this phone at this time. I'm not sure what country you're in but most have an ebay site for them (UK, France, Australia, Japan, etc...) and the phones run the same price.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Wam7:
Video is still about 30% better on the Hermes than the Kaiser but both will play transcoded movies down 320*X smoothly. Use Coreplayer (have to buy it) or TCPMP (free)

640x480 will be jerky every few seconds as it can't quite handle it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Wam7:
[double post]
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] 0ge:
Yay! I got one for around $100! Thanks for your replies! Very helpful!

[G1 Apps and Games] nah0y:
Hi everybody !

I'm a french G1 user, and the only way i can donwload application is using the Wi-Fi network, because i have a french SIM card.

Here are my questions :

- Why i can't download application with french 3G network ? (but with Wi-Fi)

- Is there a way we can download application from the market using a computer and a wi-fi network (because the wi-fi on my G1 is dead, and i can't download any application :(:(:(:()

Thx you !
[G1 Apps and Games] dixxa:
Since you're french I'll answer you in french

No you can't download from the market, and you can't use IM neither or the email app.

If you're on SFR like me you won't be able to download anything since there's no data plan.

We only have Wap.

Wifi is still good :)

Comme tu es français je vais te répondre en français

Non tu ne peux pas télécharger depuis l'android market , et tu ne peux pas non plus utiliser l'IM ou encore l'application email.

Si tu es chez SFR comme moi, tu ne pourras rien télécharger comme nous n'avons pas d'option data sur nos forfaits.

Nous n'avons que le wap.

Le wifi ça reste quand même cool. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] nah0y:
lol

Thx for the (french) answer :D

But my Wi-Fi is fu*****k broken :'(
[G1 Apps and Games] dixxa:
What is broken the source or the wifi module of the G1 ?
[G1 Apps and Games] nah0y:
I don't know what source you're talking about, but it's the wi-fi module who's broken.

PS : I have PM you.
[G1 Apps and Games] dixxa:
yeah I've just noticed :D

Since I'm at work I got to be careful :D
[G1 Apps and Games] SlideME:
Try downloading SAM from your G1 using your data service by pointing your phone's browser to http://slideme.org/sam2.apk

Then you can discover more apps available on SlideME Marketplace including paid apps.

I didn't want to use a thread that's already exist because i had a question on WHY i couldn't download applications from the market because i'm in France :)

Thx for your links, that would be very useful.

I already know slideme :D
[G1 Apps and Games] unrafa:

You mean you're leaving in France and can donwload applications using 3G with wifi disabled ?

I live in France, Everthing works fine. Orange Provider.

France still sucks ;)

Search on the net on how to configure 3G for SFR or orange. Not Sure bouygue would work though
[G1 Apps and Games] geek78:
yes i can do it with my orange sim or with my transatel sim (bouygues network)
[G1 Apps and Games] nah0y:
It's maybe just a APN config problem...

Hi all,

Well, I have been the proud owner of a Samsung Omnia (my first smartphone) for just over a week now, and it seems all I have done ever since is read hundreds of pages about tweaks, ROMs and applications. I'm learning fast though!

But... I have a few questions :)

Version: i900DXHJ1

I bought this phone here in China where I live, and the store owner kindly set it up in english for me. I am guessing that he did this by flashing it, but I noticed that some settings, like the internet ISP, are set to the Phillipines. Am I using a version of the firmware for that region? I'm English, but living in China, so which is the best english language Rom for me? I intend to use pretty much all the phones capabilities, but I don't use outlook/office that much, so they are not such a priority.
[General Questions and Answers] andrew-in-woking:
Trust the shop

Hi

My brother lives in Beijing and has had a number of WM devices out there. Some of my old ones actually. He's always gone to a shop (not sure which one but can get the details if necessary) who have flashed with the correct firmware. A lot of the settings for China Mobile don't seem to work on WWE roms, even with CHT or CHS support installed.

Cheers
