So basically...

Yes it can, but not with out a lot of typing. I.e. for every command I would have to do a mount?

The linux commands I found online were difficult, because while they are comparable to the dos ones, they cannot be used verbatim. Also other commands are used while connecting to the device, which do not show up when you do a google search they way I was. I was wondering why when I did a remount from the command line, I could get to the /sdcard but then I tried to use a ls or a l command to list the files and nothing shows. I will (for my own sake) ask more questions and try to push/pull rather than do it simply by windows.

This was the first thing I tried, but it helped very little.

Thank you for your input.

I think the usb micro card reader is the best solution. Heres what I do

*8 gig sdhc micro card (everyday card)

*kingston microsd reader with 1 gig micro sd card loaded with the latest JF update.zip

Now I can just pop the 1gb card into my phone and flash the JF if I brick. And since the reader is attached to my keys, I always have the recovery with me even if Im not near a computer.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
You really should learn the commands before screwing with things. The linux terminal is infinitely more powerful than dos. The side effect of this is that it is equally more complex. I suggest that you install some linux distro on your desktop computer (or an old junker you have shoved into a corner in the basement), and learn it real well. With just a little experience, you'll surely want to wipe that microshaft turd off of everything you own.

I have had ubuntu installed on my computer before

I can say that ubuntu definitely has is benefits.

A long time ago I was really into computer stuff, constantly tweaking, installing, trying out new stuff. Today I can safely say I use my computer for primarily internet browsing, googleing, information and such. That being said, it really doesn't matter which OS I actually have installed. Ubuntu, my understanding is that it simply uses less resources and of course is open source. Applications are free and there is always someone willing to lend you a hand.

Other than that, I can't see where Ubuntu was really a necessary must for me up until today. Realistically I fall back into the category of "just need it to do one thing". No doubt that Linux has its place, and If I wasn't so out of date and lazy, I would take up the coding myself.
[G1 Android Development] Brutal-Force:
Thanx for the Suggestion Xavier

After I read your post I was like Duhhh. Considering I have the original 1 gig that came with the phone, I did what you suggested. I have pretty much a boot disk/back up for the phone in case everything goes to pot, and I can carry it in my wallet just in case I am doing something while away from a USB port. After all, I shouldnt be tied to a usb port anyways, thats why I bought my G1 :).

what do you mean? do you have install vista yourself or are you using the vista business edition that comes with it?

if you have installed vista yourself... you can't get it work without the drivers.

you should follow XP or win7.

Anyone know of a threaded sms that uses the TF3d tab? I currently use smileysms and like it but it doesn't integrate with the TF3d tab. And if I delete a message from the TF3d tab it deletes that message from the conversation, so I end up with a bunch of 1 sided conversations...

after i tried to update the radio for rc 33 and it turned off then i tried to turn it on it wont turn on please help i tried to take out the battery everything nothing worked
[G1 Android Development] Carloswithac:
I got a little chip with an arrow pointing to it after the radio install. Then it froze up for a while even after I took off the battery and tried to restart. It fixed itself, but I'm no longer attempting to update the radio.

So, yea, hope someone chimes in.
[G1 Android Development] ariex:
i tried that but mines wont restart how long did you wait before it restarted your phone?
[G1 Android Development] Carloswithac:
Ten-ish minutes.
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Does it not turn on period or can you get into the boot loader and/or recovery utility?

Please elaborate.
[G1 Android Development] ariex:
nope it wont its completely off
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Sounds toast to me. Have you verified that the battery is functional and properly charged? Past that it sounds like you bricked the hell out of it.
[G1 Android Development] BobNobbins:
Is your battery dead?

I just did mine only minutes ago and after it pointed at the chip for awhile it rebooted, then went back to the recovery screen again. After holding home+back it booted right up.

I updated with the RC33 1.41 image(from RC30 1.41) before I tried the radio. I don't know if that matters or not
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
It doesn't matter.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hebbe:
hi!

next time i wanna try developing diamond apps on my own.

a few years ago, i developed software for pocket pcs using eVC++ 3.0. so you can see i'm used to programming and c++. i also wrote some java-stuff for symbian mobiles, means i do know java too.

in this forum, i saw quite a lot of code-snippets using c#. it looks similar to java, from what i can tell by now. i'm very curious about learning that language in order to write my own diamond applications. so here are my question to the developers:

- are there any limitations to c#? on a pocketpc, you could nearly do everything with c++ and the win api. but java was very limited.

- can i use native api functions?

- which language is the most used one, when it comes to winmobile developing?

- c# is microsoft, right? does it make sense, to learn "a ms specific" language, instead of reactivating and strengthening knowledge in c++ and/or java?

thanks a lot for your advice!

yours, hebbe

Here is a simulation of the Panel system on the X1, it is useful if you want to show other WM users how the panels would work, actually on there current device.

I am considering posting this with Sony Ericsson as potential customers for Sony, can get a good idea of the Panels, how they work, how they look, on there current WM device, or on there PC at home.

View attachment 154501

Here on the main screen where you see a screen shot of the Silver X1.

You will see there are 3 buttons on the X1 highlighted.

Yellow Button - Changes the Silver X1 to the black X1.

Red Button - Ends the Demo.

Green Panel Button - This starts the Panels.

View attachment 154503

On the Panel screen you can tap any panel, like you do for real on your X1, and a screen shot of that Panel is displayed. Tap the screen shot again, to go back to the main panel menu. Its instuitive and realistic like the real thing, but doesnt actually launch the Panels, its a simulation.

There are 2 versions of the Panel Simulation, simply download and unzip the attached file.

1) [ Panels ] which is designed to run on any WM 6 or 6.1, on any resolution VGA, QVGA, WQVGA and WVGA of the X1 and Touch HD.

2) [Panels - PC ] which is designed to run on any PC with XP or Vista, with Microsoft Office or PowerPoint Viewer (free from Microsoft).

[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
Another powerpoint. Okay, it's gimmicky, but I kind-of fail to see how it's useful. The reason for this is simply that there's already many pictures and even movies of the panels in action (some of which released be SE). I don't think SE would be particularly interested in a powerpoint of their own device, but that's just my thoughts on the matter.

Having said that, it does look nifty. ^_^
[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
Poeple who have an older windows Mobile device now, can run this on there current machine and get a feel for the panels, a tiny taste of what an X1 Black or Silver would look and feel like.

The Panels are the ( USP ) Unique Selling Point of the X1, everything else is WM 6.1 standard. They set the X1 apart from the rest and I hope Sony Dont give up developing the concept further.
[XPERIA X1 General] Jasand:

I totally agree with you they should be pushing the pannels usp.

I am dissapointed that it takes so long to develop new ones and the main thing that really bugs me is I have NOT seen any advertising at all anywhere. ok only on SE site but where are the tv ads or billboards?

I think this little demo is good. nice one

3D X1 Panel Demo

I have discovered how to create a 3D image from a single photo or screen shot using powerpoint. So what I will attempt to do is to create a simulation of what a 3D X1 Operating system would look and feel like, like the original panel demo, but in 3D.

What would be the uses & benefits of a 3D operating system ?

One of the easiest 3D effects is to raise a dialog box vertically from the screen, to give it greater emphasis and visual impact. We now have 3 axis to play with, we have the traditional 2D X & Y axis, and now we have the third axis Z, to lift objects, boxes, text up off the screen, or send them into the screen.

I have constructed an example using the panels screen. On a traditional X1 all the Panels are flat and in the same plane. Here is a demo of what the panel screen would look like in 3D, with the panels raised from the screen vertically in the new Z axis. You do of course require 3D goggles to see this effect.

View attachment 162825

Individual panels can be raised above the others, giving greater emphasis, the traditional panel screen tries to do this by making the panel highlighted bigger and smaller, you have probably noticed this.

Here is demo of the effect of raising some panels above the others. The Facebook panel is particulary noticable, as are the 2 round settings buttons at the bottom.

View attachment 162826

Without using goggles you will not see the 3D effect, which is even more prenounced and noticeable on the small screen.

To see what all this would actually look like on your X1, you can simply right click and [ Save as ] all the

enlarged

3D panel photos, copy to your X1 and view with your favourite picture viewer, I like S2V.

View attachment 162833

Or download the following Zip File which contains all the 3D images used in this post, unzip, copy to X1 and view with your fav viewer and your 3D goggles on.
[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
Iv constructed an interactive 3D Panel Demo to run on the X1. It has been designed to show the visual effect of highlighting panels in 3D, and how they can bring a measure of 3D depth and emphasis to animations. Dont worry it doesnt launch the panels, it is a 3D simulation, but it would be quite easy to change the standard 2D panel screen shots, for 3D ones.

To see and apprecaite the 3D effect you will need 3D goggles, the red and blue kind. In the beginning you will see the standard 2D panel screen.

View attachment 163171

( Standard 2D Panel Display )

Then each panel in turn with be highlighted in 3D, lifting them off the screen vertically.Each panel in turn then fluctuates between 2D and 3D, giving the effect of the panels lifting up and falling down to the screen.

View attachment 163173

( 3D Panel Display )

After this intial 3D animation, the 3D panels are then ready to be touched. This is a Milestone for Windows Mobile and the X1, as for most poeple this will be the very first time you have touched and interacted with a 3D image.

Tap a panel to start it blinking in 3D, rising and falling from the screen. You can tap them all if you want, and they ' dance' vertically in 3D.

If you tap the round setting icons at the bottom, they start a 3D animation of the panels.

View attachment 163172

( 3D Panel Display Animation )

Tap the black part of the screen at the bottom to exit at any time.

With more work and more sophistcated software Im sure the 3D effect could be greatly improved, lifting the panels further off the screen. This first demo shows the basic principles of animation in 3D and how it can be used to add emphasis and impact.

The 3D Panel Demo will also run on your PC, here you will see the 3D effect much more prenounced, due to the higher resolution of PC moniters.

To run simply download,unzip, copy to your X1 and click to run. If the Demo does not play in full screen, then change the screen orientation in the Powerpoint Menu [tap and hold], or run powerpoint prior to this demo and set display to [Portrait].

I hope you enjoy this first taste of X1 Windows Mobile in 3D.

EDIT - I have just uploaded a new improved version 2 of the demo with twice as much 3D as the previous one. If you put your X1 on a flat surface and look at the the panels dancing in 3D, they look like solid objects rising and falling through your X1. THis is how I wanted it to look, striking and realistic. Have a go, you eyes have not seen anything like it :eek:
[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
In & out of the Box

I have completed the 3D Panel demo, by placing the 3D Panels in situ inside a 3D Silver X1. This demo demonstrates 2 basic types of 3D Display and interaction.

The first is called " In the Box ", it gives you the impression that you are putting your finger inside an X1 to select the Panels. I find this to be the most comfortable 3D effect, as we are most comfortable putting our fingers inside boxes to touch objects. See 3D Screen Shot below.

View attachment 163452

( Put your finger in the box )

The other effect is to have the panels floating " out of the box ", this gives the impression of the panels floating above and out of the screen. THis is strange as we are not used to touching floating virtual objects. See 3D screen shot below.

View attachment 163453

( Selecting Panels out of the box )

The Demo has been designed manily for viewing on your PC, to show what an X1 would look like with 3D Panels. It also runs on your X1, the effect of seeing an 3D X1, inside a real X1, is a bit wierd. As regards the demo itself, heres how it works, whether you view it on your PC and use your mouse, or your X1, and tap with your finger.

At first you are presented with a 3D X1 that comes out of the screen. If you tap the X1 at the top, or click with your mouse ( PC ), the X1 goes into the screen. Tap it again to bring it out of the screen and so forth.

If you tap or click the 3D X1 Panel button, on the screen, the panels are displayed like in the Panel Demo V2 in the prev post.

Tap the 3D Left and Right Hardware keys, below the screen, to start the Panels animating in 3D. And as before individual panels can be clicked or tapped to start them blinking in 3D.

Once you have the Panels up, try tapping the Silver X1, to send it into the screen and out of the screen. See which 3D Vision you prefer, tapping or clicking panels " In the Box ", or " Out of the Box. "

It is interesting to note that 3D films tend to use " In the Box " 3D vision, ie the film happening behind the screen, with occasional " out of the box " flying objects to startle and suprise you.

To run, simply, unzip, copy to your X1 and click to run. It runs in Powerpoint Portrait mode, and requires red and blue 3D goggles.

On your PC simply double click on the File and with Powerpoint running select [View Show] from menu at the top. At any time during the demo click or tap the 3D X1 central navigation button to exit.

If you have no interest in developing a 3D UI for Windows Mobile, or skinning X1 programs in 3D, then no one is forcing you to read it, or waste your time posting negative comments on a thread developing it.
