lol the most dangerous virus is the guy itself when he try to update with no respect of process.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mikesands:
I really like the diamond (Ignito) but using it to dial people (in touchflo) or contacts (via Windows) is a nightmare. far too often I end up dialling someone when I'm trying to scroll using the touch screen. And the basic Windows contact manager is all too small scale to use without a stylus.

Has anyone got any advice or better still an alternative app that will let me use the touch screen and a big list in a reliable way. My daughter's Samsung Tocco is just a dream to use in comparison.

Thanks

Mike

You can use Resco Contact Manager. The beta is free and usable with touch function. Try it! You can enable/disable Resco Contact manager to handle calls, contacts, etc in settings

http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/contactmanager/default.asp

The Screenshot is on the website as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mikesands:
Thanks Satus - will try that now

Mike
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] supersanj:
personally i never use the contacts tab to dial out. I just press the phone key then use the dialer keypad to start typing the first letters of the person im trying to dial then hit call. much faster than trying to scroll and no need for the stylus..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mikesands:
tried Resco contacts last night and I love it. Scrolling seems somehow much less sensitive and even if you do make an accidental press, all it does is pop-up the contact with 4 big buttons for dial, sms, email, and something else. If you hit the big back arrow in the corner it takes you back to your scroll list at the point you were previously

Thanks again Satus

http://www.informationweek.com/blog/main/archives/2009/02/mwc_2009_htcs_n.html

To me the HTC Magic looks nearly the same to the dream (minus the keyboard).

My question is, does the hardware in the G1 support video recording and is just waiting for the software to catch up, or will we be left out in the cold for video recording as more updates roll our way?

I have looked on Wiki and all over the web to find the exact hardware spec/model of the camera in the G1, but i have yet to find a truly conclusive answer.

Thank you in advance.
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
i followed a thread at androidcommunity for a while. someone who claimed to have accurate information stated that the g1 and g2 will have identical hartdware (sans keyboard).

i see no evidence that we will not get video recording.
[G1 Android Development] texasaggie1:
Record video on the G1 now!

There is a video recording app already on the market. Its been out about 2 weeks and he has already added sound and updated it once or twice...
[G1 Android Development] ekeefe41:
Yea... thats not a real Video recorder in my humble opinion. It just takes a bunch of stills and puts them together in order.

What i am hopping for is video recorded in a standardized format.

[Android Themes] manup456:
Looks good that slide down if you open that back up in CS3 or the graphic program you used to create it when you bevel and emboss the bar there is an angle part if you bring it over the dot it will get rid of that white dot on the left. Also you can adjust the white and black highlight so if you bring the white down some it will give you this same angle but lighter on the white. I think it would make it look a little better but it looks really good. :)

FAQ

General skin questions

:: How do I install skins?

:: :: After you downloaded your desired skin, uncompress the ZIP file and copy the SK2 file to the "skins" directory inside the application's folder on your device (e.g. "\Program Files\Nitrogen\skins"). After that, you may run the player and use the skin selector to load the skin file.

:: Are the skins from 0.3 compatible with 1.0?

:: :: Yes, they are! The new version (1.0) uses the same skin file structure as 0.3. Anyway, it's recommended to download the new skin toolbox (1.0.1) which includes the new icons that are used by 1.0.

:: Are the skins from 0.2.1 compatible with 0.3?

:: :: No, they aren't. The new skin files (SK2) allow more advanced behaviours and extensions that the old ones (SKN) didn't. So, if your favorite skin for 0.2.1 isn't available for 0.3, you can either be patient and wait for the author to upgrade, or you can get the bitmaps and upgrade it yourself.

Skin development

:: What's the difference between SKPROJ and SK2 files?

:: :: You can understand SKPROJ as the source of the skin file. These file extensions are handled by the Skin Studio (skstudio.exe), and contain uncompressed, 24-bit bitmap pictures (that's why they're large). The SK2 files contain 16-bit pictures, which passed by a Floyd-Steinberd dithering to assure quality, and are ready to be read by Nitrogen. To convert (I'd say

compile

, as you can consider SKPROJ the

source

and SK2 the

binary

) from SKPROJ to SK2 you use the Skin Export (skexport.exe) tool. For this, you can either click on "Export SK2 file" from the Skin Studio or execute the Skin Export directly.

:: Why can't Skin Studio load SK2 files?

:: :: That's because the SK2 file has already been sliced, compressed and dithered by the Skin Exporter. Also, the file structure of both files are different. If you want to edit a skin file, you have to acquire the SKPROJ file, either downloading on the skins page if available or asking the author.

(more questions/answers soon...)

Tutorial for Skin Toolbox (UPDATED MAR 13)

It contains important tables and data for skin designers (such as screen sizes and so on).​
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ankarii:
...

How to create skins in Skin Toolbox?

How to add image on button?

What is hotspot background?

Mask is pressed button?

Give me project you default skin for example

Skin Toolbox it's the difficult program :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

Skin Toolbox is made of two main programs: the Skin Studio (skstudio.exe) and the Skin Exporter (skexport.exe). On the Skin Studio, you can design every aspect of your skin, placing the buttons where you want them to be and so on. This program loads and saves SKPROJ files, that are bigger than the SK2 files (which are read by Nitrogen). To convert from SKPROJ to SK2, you can use the Skin Exporter. This utility allows you to create a ZIP file containing the source skin file (SKPROJ), the compiled skin file (SK2) and a screenshot. It means that it generates a ZIP file ready to be posted here on XDA. Concerning the new way to create skins, now you simply add four images, with the size of the screen resolution. They're called backgrounds. On the normal background, you load a screen in which the buttons are unpressed and the trackbars are empty. On the hotspot background, you load a screen in which the buttons are pressed and the trackbars are full. The (toggle) state of the backgrounds are for buttons that support it (such as Shuffle, Repeat, Play/Pause, and now the Next and Previous). Anyway, I'll provide a more detailed tutorial soon, and by now you can download the attachment and explore the SKPROJ files.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ankarii:
Cool. Very interesting. I'll try.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BDWN:
I'm now attempting to make a simple WVGA skin, just figuring out the basics of the skinstudio. The example you posted is very handy, maybe you should think about including it in the skinstudio zip, so people won't have to figure out everything on their own :p.

Great work on 0.3 by the way :) .
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kevlah:
Excellent work on the new version. I've had some problems with the default VGA skin for WM6, it doesn't seem to respond to Play/Pause and some other buttons. I think it's the skin because I can get to all other functions using the options menu and play/pause using the hard keys on my Diamond. I'll have a play around with the skins editor to see if I can spot anything.

Oh yeah almost forgot, THANKS :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kevlah:
Sorry to sound stupid here but is there an option to set the size of the canvas for VGA? I have looked all over and can't see it. The last version had the options when you click New. Are you supposed to just add things in and let it make the size out of the images you put in if you are creating from scratch?

I tried your example and simply exported it and applied on my device but it is QVGA (interestingly the play/pause works on this one but not on the default VGA). Is there a way to import the default VGA skin so I can modify it?

I guess you're probably working on a FAQ that will answer these so I'll just wait until it comes out.

EDIT: Just noticed you've fixed the play/pause and previous/next buttons now in 0.3.1 for VGA. Excellent thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

As I don't have a VGA device, I couldn't entirely test the skin, so I forgot to assign the buttons for play/pause and the other buttons :o. The latest release (0.3.1) that came a few hours after 0.3, fixes this.

I'm sorry I missed that.

Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

The skin studio picks the size of the background image and sets it as the screen resolution. I'm planning to provide a table with the resolutions and the matching background size (e.g. QVGA is 240x268, VGA is 480x536 and so on, because of the space left for the softkeys and the window title).

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BDWN:
Okay so I've pretty much finished my WVGA skin, would you be able to post the project file for the default VGA skin as the QVGA project contains smaller icons (for the browser). Also I seem to be unable to return to the main window after opening the media browser, only thing I could do was restart the program. Will post it up as soon as I've got the bigger icons :) .
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kevlah:
Seconded for the project file for VGA, would be really useful as I probably won't create from scratch, just move things around from Microfi's (if he doesn't mind).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi! You can't return to the player because your HTC X-Button is set to close the application (that's something I have to figure out...). The VGA skin project is attached below. If you wish to copy all the icons at once, use the "Export icons" and "Import icons" option on the Skin Studio.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi! Of course I don't mind! Feel free to edit any skins. I'll encourage the skin posters to post the SKPROJ file along so that others can edit them!

By the way, I'll send the original pictures (PNG files from Fireworks), if you want more advanced edits.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kevlah:
Is that a device specific problem then or just the htc x button setting? i don't have this problem (when i press x on media browser it goes back to player) but i have x button set to minimise not close.

Thanks for the vga proj files :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
It happens when your HTC X-Button is set to close. As yours is set to minimize, Nitrogen works properly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BDWN:
Ah all right, found a way to get back to the main window, if you open Nitrogen using the start menu and then open the browser, I can get back by opening the program again (while it's still running) via the start menu. A simple solution would probably be to add a back link in one of the context menus in the browser.

The skin studio is a really great piece of software, it's relatively easy and seems very open for newer versions of Nitrogen (which will include new features of course). There's just one thing that bugs me, not a biggy tho, you can't rename items, haha, would be handy for typos, but then again, not many people will see a typo in the project file..:)

WVGA

hi microfi

do you have 1 example in skproj WVGA please?

I wanna change my "WVGA Black Neon" to this new version ...can you help me?

saludos

PD: AND THANKS YOU GOOD JOB
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

You can download the VGA sample, and change the backgrounds dimensions to 480x696 pixels. This way, your skin will fit WVGA devices. You can take a look on the tutorial too (link on the first topic). It's quite incomplete, but it's already covering the start. If you have any further questions, just ask!

Thanks, Filipe.

please, i need a 320x320 skin... for samsung i780
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Feldhege:
Hey Filipe,

Per your request, I will post my comment here as you have asked. I want you to know that I appreciate your hard work. I am a programmer too and realize how much time a "non paying" project takes. I was NOT trying to screw up your skins posts. I had simply thought that since the post containg the skin which (at the time) I thought was defective was in the other thread, it would make the most sense to post there and give someone the chance to correct it. It would have stopped there (for me at least) if the other gentlemen would have simply posted that you had requested all comments here. I only replied back to let him know (since he only had a few posts to his name) that that kind of conduct would be considered rude and that simply posting a link to this thread (like you did) would have been a better choice of tactics.

I will restate my potential bug here for you. When switching skins from the default QVGA one that comes with .31 to one of the WQVGA ones in the other thread, I noticed that the option menu does not get lengthened correctly. To fix it, you just have to exit and bring back up nitrogen and the menu then displays correctly. Probably just need to add a refresh to the options menu. Keep up the good work.

Robb
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

Yes, you have to restart the program so that the menu displays correctly (this made you think it was a skin bug). As you only need to do it once, I won't consider this an urgent bug, but I'll provide a fix for the next release.

Thanks, Filipe.

Comments; Trouble with equalizer button

Hey Filipe!

I must say it's a big deal of good work you did with the new nitrogen!

I made a very simple VGA skin (thx for the example skin: made it all easy to comprehend...). I'm just uploading that one.

I found a bug, though it may be a problem with my system only. When I set up a button for equalizer (the old 'settigns button) it stopped working. when you click, it does show the background from hotspot picture, but nothing happens. Same when I tried to set up a new button for equalizer. Other options work somehow.

I also think the user's guide for skinbox will be a lot easier to understand when you add two points which took me a while to catch:

1. That Nitrogen uses 4 graphics and places 2nd/3rd/4th in the place of a button which is pressed.

2. That buttons are only areas on the screen which just make a small piece of the other picture appear.

As I said: the example helped a lot!

Thanks for Nitrogen :D. Keep up the good job!

I'm looking forward to more skins coming up...

Maciej

ps. Promise to make a small donation anytime soon!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kevlah:
Thanks for the skin maciejst. I have it working fine on my Diamond, I like the dice for shuffle :). Can you send me the equaliser change that you tried and I will see if it does the same on mine, or i might just try changing the function of settings button myself if I get time.

EDIT: I've tested by changing settings to equaliser and it doesn't do anything. Options > Equaliser does work though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

I'll figure out what's happening to the equalizer and will provide a fix soon.

Thanks for notifying!
