I used to confuse this forum with a decent place for technical discussion of technical issues related to HTC devices, this illusion was short lived :( People are just casually dropping links to warez and no one seems to care! no moderation whatsoever. Take this example: A rigged license file for the most marvelous software ever for Windows mobile: Igo8 was put two months ago here. I complained quite clearly, and requested moderators for action in the respective thread here. No action whatsoever! Now look at this glorious post in the same thread here, the whole rigged software is available for your kind usage. It seems there is no stopping!

Please understand my harsh tone has a deeper reason. I am quite sure that this is the only reason why windows mobile is taking such strong bashing from iphone.... such a mature platform taking beating from a newborn! The reason is: developers get a few bucks in return of there hard work for iphone, while for windows mobile ppl just run for the rigged versions everywhere. If software developers are not paid back their hard-earned money, they will just look away, stop developing for windows, now that they have a much viable alternate like iphone and others. We all have to think about this! This is a doomsday scenario for WM.

Best regards!

if you havent heard, the jailbroken iphones have a program called Installer...where they get all the apps for free too ;) just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents ... i just dont see the reason why it would bother you, it's neither one of our faults, its the way the website monitors their threads ... no need to make a whole new thread bashing the website
[Touch HD General] waqarz:
Thats not the point... and the purpose of this thread isn’t "bashing" this forum. The point is, we here should not facilitate the downward spiral windows mobile is in right now, we should have strict action against it at least within the discussions here. I know about iphone jail breaking, but its ease and availability is no where close to WM... iphone app developers are really earning money, the proof of this pudding is in eating. Just last year, we all were laughing at iphone not having an SDK. Now, if i try to google an app for my WM, the search return iphone app instead!

Deep Breath.......

When I first started to read your initial post I thought - Hear we go, another over exaggerated claim and a rant about how poorly the site is managed.... but as I finished reading I thought "Yep" your at least partly right - there's far more "abuse" of the forum and site now in many ways than there was a year ago - not just on the Warez front either - So I'm very much with you there and in support of your "general" comments.... However....

Membership of XDA Developers has rocketed in the past 12 months (or so it seems????) as has the activity and number of posts/comments/hits per day - and not just in this section but in many others.... which is of course a good thing - but..... with all the extra traffic and all the extra members so the "unwanted" aspects also experientially increase - and "OUR" moderators have far more to monitor and try to manage (as well as helping out and offering advice themselves when they can) and this is the part you seem to have missed as others often do - the moderators are NOT paid - its something they do because they want to and because they can.....

I would actively encourage you, and ALL other members to continue to report abuse of the site and on the forums and to actively discourage other members by highlighting (as you have) inappropriate behaviour so we can self regulate as much as possible.

Of course, if the moderators have time and the inclination to step in and take action then that’s great, if not - then lets help by policing ourselves and offering offenders (quite often misguided I'm sure) some friendly but firm advice - if its ignored then what more can we do.

Deep Breath....... :cool:

"the downward spiral windows mobile is in right now"

Dear Don Quixote, i beg to differ. The """downward""" spiral is becoase of crappy operating system and warez has nothing to do with it. And well, iphone is trendy :lol: I dont condone warez but i am organically alergic to more-god-than-god people like you.

And stop annoying people here, go to the kindergarten and yell "new torrent tracker". You will be amazed how many kids will turn around.

Thanks, I really should have used the "report" link, my bad!

I really do appreciate all the volunteer work being done here by moderators and other resonable members. I myself moderate a few forums, not as large as this though and to some extend I know the toll. All, keep up the good work!

I still have a suggestion, members doing strict violation of policy should be warned and later banned!

[Touch HD General] Sir.B:
as someone else already did

i must disagree with you on one point, why WinMo "...is taking such strong bashing from..." iPhone

it has nothing to do with Warez, your argument seems uninformed and almost sounds like bashing

Using the iPhone for any length of time you'll realize just how much time was put into the user experience, no manual, no class, just pick up and use. WinMo had thought behind it's design, but it was designed about a decade ago, to be used with a stylus. As is it's hopelessly outdated in look and feel (Windows 3.1 anyone, that's mature too by now)

As for the reason it seams that developers do better on the iPhone it's the same thing; thought. Thought put into the experience of using the AppStore. no serial headaches, integration, updates, and backup - just works. Like iTunes it's just easy to use for average people, Handago (or whatever is compatible with AppStore) is NOT easy.

Ignoring the needs of users and no real innovation from Redmond is doomsday for WinMo. Not Warez (which, as mentioned exist for the iPhone too, and it's this easy).

P.S. never had an Apple product, but if iPhone had Copy & Paste i'd own one now, not the HD

P.P.S. there is somewhat of a backlash in the Apple community against quality control, bad developers, and no "try before you buy" in the AppStore. if interested please read here then here.
[Touch HD General] Silentd:
The only thing why Iphone have so many Apps (and good apps) is the Appstore (one place for all apps), and the Hype. And ofcourse its only

1

device, with

1

displaysize,

1

processor and

1

input type.

On WM we got several desplaysizes, devices, processors and input types.

Its much more easy and cheaply to develope for

1

device than for thousands.

If we get also a appstore i am really safe that we get more good apps and games for our WM Devices.

Second:

I think delevopers do a hard job and develope good apps, and we shall donate to them. I work for a big software company and also hate warez. Warez is not good, but do not exaggerate nevertheless times! I do not think that here possibly someone such things with intention.

Third:

Sorry for my bad english.
[Touch HD General] waqarz:
You cant be serious right? Go through these 3 articles, just the first 3 hits on google:

http://msmobiles.com/news.php/6459.html

http://www.fiercedeveloper.com/report/mobile-pda-software-piracy-and-warez

http://apcmag.com/windows_mobile_6_pirated.htm

Take one example: just over the last year, hundreds of thousands of people have illegally shared navigation maps, a conservative estimate of loss is in millions of dollars.

I an NOT claiming piracy is the only problem with WM, but it sure is a BIG contributor, this is my only point in this discussion. The reasons and implications are many and I cant go into details. I really feel sorry, my own mistake, dropping in the word "iphone" always ends up in a useless debate! Many threads here being trashed because of this.

Best regards.
[G1 Android Development] bilclintonsdaman:
hey all, two questions. first, I was wondering if anyone has figured out (or bothered to look into lol) changing the behavior of the back button in messaging. it seems like it goes back to the last message you were on, even if it's the same one you're still on. it'd be nice to have it just go back to the message list every time. i get this may be a bug that's being worked out, but hey, there's no harm in asking :)

second, would it be possible to make the keyboard enter key not send messages? i don't care if it does nothing, i just don't want it to send the damn message... i think like 1/3 of the messages i type wound up getting sent prematurely. it would be nice to just have the one on-sceen send button.

thanks so much
[G1 Android Development] tehseano:
Well, if you use ChompSMS, you can set it so the enter key will just put a return line in, instead of sending the message. It's a setting that you can toggle on/off. Thats about the best I can give you right now.
[G1 Android Development] bilclintonsdaman:
cool... this little iphone knockoff looks pretty sweet. now i just have to figure out how to change the icon to match my theme :cool:

Hello,

Is anyone know how to turn the Titan into a GPS gateway?

I found that the screen on the Titan is very small. I happens to have an iPAQ with bigger screen. I want to use the iPAQ as a GPS.

The problem is, I have loaded the GPS program on the iPAQ but was unable to obtain a Com port connection using the BT from the Titan.

Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] blancmik:
I believe gpsGate will do the trick for you.

http://gpsgate.com/index.php?id=14
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] tssi:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I have downloaded and trying to configure.

I have no luck of getting the Titan to share the GPS over the BT connection.

Anyone know if there is any way?

Thanks

is it possible to port a different camera for the htc hermes and put it in a ready to install cab file? i don't really like the camera perhaps a camera with more filters or some other interface. I know you can download individual camera templates, ive done that. But maybe a vista glass look for the camera that would be awesome.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3v5y:
A replacement for HTCs ActionScreen.

Coded in Win32 C++ for speed.

Applications can be configured via the registry.

HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\App_X

Path changes the path, Parm changes the parameters, and Text changes the text

Timeout (how long before the application minimizes) can be changed at:

HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Timeout time is in milliseconds

The size of the text can be configured:

HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\FontSize

Font colour

HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Font Red/Green/Blue (0-255)

The text at the top of the page can be configured

HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Text

If

HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Exit

is 0, the app will minimize, if it's 1, the app will close after timeout or action.

Changelog:

0.03 now allows the application to close rather than staying resident in memory.

0.02 Adds configurable text, clicking on the top most bar minimizes the application.

0.01 Initial Release

7 items, Why no 14?

Hi l3v5y,

It's a great tool but we already have an action 9. If you split the screen in two parts, you can put 14 items (maybe a new entry in regitry to change from 7 to 14) . Another idea is to create a new tab in manila. In any case this application looks fine and I'll test it. Thanks!!.

Regards,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3v5y:
Currently, this is just a rewrite of the ActionScreen as it comes. I'll take suggestions on what to do, and having 14 items sounds interesting!

Also, for anyone with a blackstone, if you edit the skin file and add two more App_X keys which match those of the other keys, you can get 9 applications.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] makeveral:
Nice! i tryed it but some things are not working.

When i click at the top it doesnt minimise, it gives an error saying that it couldnt open file "".

Also tryed to change the text at the top but it didnt change, new sms and new mms arent working (nothing is opened)

maybe the problem is that my rom language is not wwe?

the rest works good, thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] uniqueboy:
Hi l3v5y, as above, but not tried mms, i don't use it but nothing happens when I press new sms. I have a feeling you will fix it!:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3v5y:
What version does it say in the bottom right? (yes, I kow it's ridiculously small, but any larger and it gets in the way) I may have uploaded the wrong cab!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3v5y:

(or at leas, I think it is :S)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] makeveral:
yes, now it works!

Just one thing, once you open the program and lauch something it doesnt exit, it stays minimised.

Could you add a reg entry or change it so it closes instead of minimise and wasting ram?

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3v5y:
That seems a good idea.

I didn't do it, because the RAM usage on my Prophet (QVGA) wasn't as bad.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3v5y:
Closing is now implemented!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] PMDColeslaw:
This may seem like a very dumb question, but where exactly do I go to find the "action Screen" on my Diamond? I've had it for about 2 months now and I've never seen an action screen. Is it after market? I ask because i understood this to be a rewrite of a current default setting that comes preinstalled on the diamond... Maybe i'm just have the biggest brain fart ever.:confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3v5y:
Could be the fact that I wasn't hugely specific. This is a rewrite of something the Touch Dual had, not the Diamond.

I can release a version right now that has the capability, it just won't have any graphics for the second 7 buttons.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] elparra72:
Well, if you put buttos in '.png' or similar format using a pattern like button1.png, button2.png,..,button14.png (And maybe button16.png for HD version) everybody can use their owns icons. And if you put an .ini file with texts used, your application could be translated to a lot of language.

The most important is a good base application and then everybody can use it. A flexible application is better than a 'lock' app.

That's my opinion.

Regards,

Note1: If you put texts into .png graphics, you don`t need to create any file or registry key to change them. Only modifing .png file with a bitmap editor is enough to translate texts.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3v5y:
Currently all the images are in one file (lower memory, faster loading) and the text etc is stored in the registry.

I'll upload it when I'm on my main PC.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] elparra72:

Are you developing another version or this is the last one?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3v5y:
A cab for a new version that supports 14 buttons is here.

It can be customised as per the previous versions, but with apps 0 to 6 being the first column, and 7-13 being the second column. I haven't tested this much and by default it's only got 7 buttons on display, and I don't have graphics for it yet, but apart from that it should be good to go.

Let me know if you have any issues with it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] elparra72:
Don't worry. I'll test it ;-)

I'm going to 'play' with your application and report issues. Thanks.

14 doesn't work

Hi L3v5y,

I've testing your application for 14 buttons in different ROMs and doesn't work for me. I've created all entries from App_0 to App_13 but only 7 are shown in the display and screen looks like codified. Bitmap is completely disorder and you can see anything (excepting text) I'll try to send you a image.

hi i want to assing the back button "<--" on the bottom with the OK button. i dont need the back functionality, what i want is to avoid trouble hitting OK on the top every time. someone suggested me AEbutton, that solved my problem assigning the volume button for up down navigation, but i want to assing back button to act as OK.

pl. help
[Touch HD General] ugumba:
Well, I've got good news. The Back button IS OK. Try it in a Settings dialog, pressing Back *will* save your changes.

You can assign actions to OK with AEBPlus.

This surprised the hell out of me - I only realized this after owning my HD for a month.

It also means that there is no PPC/HD equivalent to the Back button on smartphone devices. I had a Vox before, and was used to the Back button meaning "cancel".
[Touch HD General] Bengaz:
JUst to add a little to that.

Is it possible in any way to disable the volume keys?

I cant stop pressing them by mistake:o
[Touch HD General] Pierced Soul:
AE Button plus

then just remap them so they dont work as volume keys on a single press ( i use the long press to make them go up and down, but in rreality i use the slider to actually move change volume so i dont need to even map them to the volume at all)

You can't - not with black anyway. The best you can do is grey.

Search for UI Tweaker, RC Mod and ThemeGen CE :)

yeah, a literally "black gradient" will be solid black anyways - i meant i want everything from the htc black theme, BUT with grey-to-black-gradient no-flat bars.

themegen ce is a thing i've already come across, besides it couldn't load the orig HTC Black.tsk file - i might re-create a black theme with non-flat bars, but (i suppose) this is something someone else around here has already done before. dl link anyone? :-D
