I remember - not long ago - that palm was suing forum members that used the name "palm" for their forum. they didn't mind the bad PR. So I wouldn't be too sure, that they won't try to prevent someone having multitouch on a competiting device. They "asked" google to keep away from multitouch an they followed. If erverybody (the jf thread has 119,850 views, even if 19,850 are from me :-) ) can have multitouch on the G1, they won't be happy with that.

And that's no secret of a little community. In nearly every article about the G1, jf'S version is mentionned, so apple knows about that.

So just to be sure that we don't have to raise funds for JF's legal action...

If it's possible, make it happen. Some people here already asked for a version without multitouch because some apps don't work anymore and future apps won't be supported by multitouch.

[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
the engadget article says it all:

So where's the "multitouch patent" everyone keeps going on about? Well, we certainly couldn't find the sort of broad patent that would qualify, and we didn't find much of anything that would keep anyone from using multitouch gestures like pinch-to-zoom -- in fact, Apple has a better patent position with regard to pinching gestures to cut, copy and paste than it does on pinching to zoom. We're not kidding: it picked up #7,339,580 "Method and apparatus for integrating manual input" last year, which straight-up covers "generating a cut command in response to a pinching motion between a thumb and a fingertip detected on a multi-touch-sensitive surface." You won't find anything like that for pinch-to-zoom, and at this point there are so many other multitouch systems (including Microsoft Surface and Windows 7) out there using the gesture that we don't know if Apple could convince Uncle Sam to dole out a patent on the idea. Go ahead and skip the Flintstones, there's your irony for the day.
[G1 Android Development] sangeet.003:
well if apple wants to block their technology to their phones google can also,

as we know today google is the best search engine which is found every where not only search its services like maps, gmail, calender, ... & now latitud are found on each device technology invents, so if google wants to limit its stuff to g1 users it would be impossible for others to web develope....

today even simple mp3 devices use google to the computers.... & so on...

the multi touch support if its only matter of the pinch-to-zoom methods, many other methods can be brought to do the zoom in-out process for example moving two fingers clock-wise to zoom-in and anti-clock-wise to zoom out so if they want the pinch method to be left for their technology, more better technologies can be invented to beat them.. we just need to think some great ideas....

but if its the matter of the multi-touch sensitive screen(hardware) we ll have to use the same & they must not stop use of hardware in other technologies....

i just want to say if they(apple) are limiting the method and not the hardware, we can get more intresting methods than pinch...

Re: AVI to MP4

Hi,

I think you can search the "AVI to MP4" keyword in google, then the best choice will appear in the first page normally.

Refer to video converters, I often use Kvisoft video to flash converter to do MP4 to FLV conversion, AVI to FLV conversion etc.

With the video conversion software, I can convert videos of any format to FLV flash videos in batches for better online sharing.

Good benefits of Kvisoft Video to Flash converter:

1. Convert Any Video to FLV and SWF

2. Edit Flash Video as you like:

Watermark video with text and image;

Merge various videos into one;

Crop video size;

Clip video into smaller parts;

Adjust the effect of video.

3. NO quantity limitation, so batch conversion is allowed.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] JAMinGUY:
hey guys, I have been reading these forums but I am still totally stuck..

I have a HTC TOUCH DUAL - no network branding whatsoever, details:

rom version - 1.31.710.12

rom date - 12/05/07

radio version - 1.58.21.23

Everytime I try to download the new WM6.1 ROM from the HTC website, it says that my serial number is INVALID. So I found a serial number someone posted on the forums for the WWE 6.1 ROM and typed it in...and it worked, I downloaded the ROM. But then when I connect my touch dual thru activesync and launch the ROM install program, it says that the ROM is not suitable for my device....

My touch dual was bought in Australia. It is definately a REAL one.

Also I am a complete noob when it comes to those "custom roms" for touch dual. Can anyone recommend me one to install??? Do i need to change the radio and uspl also?????

thanKS greatly for your help guys---!!!!!

oH...AND my touch is a Niki100
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vcdwelt:
I'm not shure, but maybe there is a Rom Special for Australia?

Other you can Flash HardSPL (or uSPL) to your Device. Tutorial for this you can find (pinned) in this Forum...

Be carefull and read all before do anything, otherwise you can damage your Device...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] NotATreoFan:
Never flash a ROM without HardSPL. Please refer to the HardSPL thread in this forum section.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hausen:
Hi,

I know I've read about the problem somewhere before, but I couldn't find it any more using the forum search... so here is the problem:

after a hard reset of my Touch HD I gave it another try and installed Opera 15529 (--> soft reset) and flashlite 3.1 (--> without soft reset first) (I've tried 2 different versions from the forum)... result was:

- Opera was actually playing the Youtube flash videos embedded in the browser...WAS...

- after a Soft Reset opera still tries to open the flash video (doesn't complain about missing flash), but the video is loading infinitely (tries to) (black screen on the video window of the youtube page with some kind of hourglass)

--> I haven't been able to play a Youtube video embedded in opera again since then, but the first result before soft reset revealed that IT IS DEFINITELY POSSIBLE!!!

Does anyone know this bug or even have a solution??

regards jan

Hi,

Well, I've searched and searched again.

But no luck.

I know ThumbCal and PocketInformant feature quite popular amoungst you guys, however I'm really struggling to find a HTC styled colour scheme for Pocket Informant.

Does anyone know of anything out there ? I tried searching on the PI forums, but again no luck.

I know it is possible to pre-set the colours, as I've seen regedit's given in the Yahoo! PIicon Group. It goes along the style of this (But note that this is some other colour scheme) :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WebIS\PocketInformant4\Colors]

"CAV_TodayColor"="#F5F5F5"

"CAV_TaskBackGround"="#EFEFEF"

"CAV_DueTodayTaskBackGround"="#F8F8FF"

"CAV_Font"="Tahoma"

"TV_Font"="Tahoma"

"CV_Font"="Tahoma"

etc... etc...

Has anyone devised their own style ?

Or can you point me to where a colour scheme exists ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I've upgraded my Diamond recently to HTC's official 2.03.407.2 GER ROM.

Since then I have some issues I haven't had with 1.93 before:

1. the device seems to go online w/o any (known) reason (all the automatic stuff for emails or weather is disabled to manual updating

2. the device doesn't go offline when the network access finished anymore

with 1.93 it immediately went offline when the weather data was updated or the mail account was read. Now it seems to stay online until I close the connection in the comm-manager.

3. my TF3D music player doesn't work anymore. It only shows the preshipped music examples and can't even play the stuff. Manually added songs are missing completely. The Windows Media Player works correctly and displays all songs. AudioManager_Eng crashes quite often also (like almost every time I open it)

One thing I have to note is that I used Sprite Backup to restore my data after the ROM upgrade. I'm not sure if that restored configuration data which is not compatible with the new ROM anymore.

Any hints for me about these issues?

Thanks,

Wolfgang
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NotATreoFan:
Perform a hard reset, and then test for these issues again before restoring your Sprite backup.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] worosen:
Actually that was what I've tried to avoid.

Given that everything works then I won't be able to restore my old data then. I can live with that as long as I can get back my contacts.

To backup my contacts I only need pim.vol copied somewhere? Could someone confirm that. (And I guess the internal storage is safe from a hard reset?)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] garyfunk:
Yes, pim.vol contains everything to do with contacts and calls. Look at the uc.zip file in my signature.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rakh1:
Hi all,

This is an odd one - I have an HTC Diamond (DIAM100) and have run HardSPL and several ROMs with no problems. My Dad has an MDA V (DIAM200) (SIM Unlocked form T-Mobile) and is having problems with HardSPL in order to eventually put the HTC ROM on.

We downloaded the OliNex unsigned HardSPL. He runs the RUU and goes through all the warnings, then the phone goes to black screen and the progress bar dialogue appears on the computer. After a few seconds we get a 202 error complaining that it cannot connect.

I've searched here for an hour or so and as such we've tried...

- using different machine

- using XP and Vista

- usnig direct USB connection and a different USB to the normal one used

- restarted everything

- checked (and unchecked) the advanced network functionality

- run the .net 3.5 update

- tried 1.37 version of HardSPL

- manually running SSPL-Manual on the phone and then the RUU on the PC (although RUU seems to be fine at 'black screening' the phone itself)

- combinations of above ;)

No matter what I try we get the same behaviour. After it fails we simply pull the battery and it starts back up as if it has been soft-reset. Entering bootloader manually we see he is currently on SPL-1.37.0000 if that helps.

Am I missing something??? Is there a problem with the MDA or with DIAM200 devices that my searches are not finding?

Hope you can help - please no RTFMs, I've been searching for hours - Rich
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
Some Hard SPL's are not compatible with certain devices. Have you tried other HARD SPL's ? I've used both 1.24 and 1.93 without a problem.

Yeah, error [202] is a connection error. Please make sure....

• Go to activesync on pc...

(on XP) File>Connection Settings...and Uncheck the "Allow USB Connections"

Then try flashing Hard SPL again!

If this doesn't solve your problem then just simply try flashing another Hardspl.

Hi all,

We were using the 1.40 originally but no joy. Tried the USB setting too - no joy.

Are these gonna be ok over a stock install of 1.37?

yes, it will overwrite the bios only.. but always back up data :)

are you using the RUU provided on here? or the original one...

Tried the HardSPL 1.24 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=408621 - screen did not go black and we got the same 202 error when running the RUU.

***Tried to hard reset the device to see if that helped - but it wouldn't - we get the same as here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=406195 meaning there is no internal image I think.*** Forget that - was pressing back button instead of centre button...!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] an.d.d:
Same problem here. Can't install any hardspl(tried all) on my c4 with 1.37 firmware, it was one of the first ones made though, so probably too old to get any of the hardspl's to work/install? Back to T-mobile it goes.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rakh1:
Can they be *too old* - this one was not one of the first off the line, my HTC Diamond is a good 8 months older than my Dad's T-Mob.

Will T-Mob accept a return based on 'HardSPL won't work' - can't see them entertaining the idea myself...

R
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kevbodian:
What does the HardSPL version have to do with a connection error? A connection error means that something you are doing is not correct.

I predict you will try another HardSPL and do something a tad differently and boom, it will work and you will say that Hardspl only works.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rakh1:
I absolutely agree - but I just cannot figure out what - I'm no amateur either, flashed every HTC phone I've ever had - multiple times. But this one - stuck!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] an.d.d:
No, you misunderstand....

The original tmobile rom is absolute rubbish, its slow and buggy etc. If I send the phone to tmobile they will update the rom to a more recent release, which works much better!

As for the connection error, try a different computer again. I had to use 3 pc's before I could update the radio and rom, looking and working great now!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] recyclotron:
If you go to settings - connections - USB to PC

Uncheck the box Enable advanced network functionality then flash with your chosed hardSPL. It should work every time now!

This is checked as default so if you hard reset you ppc it will return to being checked.

You don't have to be so rude to me, you probably don't even know me.

I don't think I give this forum a bad name, I've made lots of skins in the past and I helped a lot of people with troubleshooting.. I don't ask dumb questions, I use google. etc.etc. Please don't blame me for thing I did not do.

I'll also release the skin if lot's of people let me know that they want it. (with a comment, a answer in the poll or maybe even a small donation)

Ugh.. I think that if all developers would answer like you do, nobody would come to xda.

e.g.

Q(leecher): Thanks for the great skin but I'd love to see this button skinned also, could you?

A(developer): Well who do we have here? Mister: I-Can't-Do-Anything-Myself, please stop whining, I'll skin that button whenever I want to!
