I have modified the Blue Star 5 theme, the only thing I take any credit for is the status bar background, and making some changes to the drawer for the launcher (which I got from the QCTX - Older is Better theme). If anyone objects to me posting this, let me know.

I guess also I gotta take a little credit for putting the images in place and re-signing everything.

Now - this works on my phone, not sure if it'll work for anyone else. But I know alot of people are waiting patiently for a compatible theme, so I thought I would share what I have so far. It is by no means complete some elements have surely been overlooked by me. Any suggestions I will take to heart, though my time is limited to work on it. There are no icons included for Amazon MP3 store, default Email client, or the IM program. I don't use them, and haven't had time to copy over the icons. If all goes well with the latest updates, I will include those in my final release.

So here it is.

Modified Blue Star 5 RC33

Since it doesn't seem to be working for many, here is another attempt, I resigned everything and instead of "deflate" I use "store" compression - so the file is larger.

See if this one works.

This is JUST the Framework-res.apk file (only partial theme, but good to test)

Here is the Framework & Launcher, which will be a more complete feeling, minus the program icons.

Obviously the majority of the credit goes to manup456 for creating Blue Star 5! Thanks.

Without further ado, here are some shots:

sorry yall, uploaded the wrong file, try again.

also excuse me for not including the IM.apk, Email.apk, or com.amazon.mp3.apk files, I don't use them so I didn't modify them. I will update with those in the future. So please, download and try again, I will check back later to see if it was a success.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] daveid:
I have resigned the zips and uploaded new versions. I don't know if it will make any difference. I assure you this works on my phone (thus the screenshots). But I don't know why it is not working for anyone else. Is everyone being patient with the flashing android? It took a while to come up the first time on mine.

I don't think I did anything special, I installed RC33, tried to do a quick mockup update (framework and launcher) didn't work, so I restored my nandroid from right after RC33. Then I created the file in the first post off Stericsons stock RC33update.zip (the blank theme) and applied it excatly as it is to my phone. And it worked, first try.

If by tomorrow this is not working for anyone else, I will just remove it, sorry if it didn't work out.. But at least I tried.

Edit - Maybe Stericson could tell me what is wrong with my file? Or (for my personal gain only at this point) how do I make the pull down statusbar transparent? Thanks.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Stericson:
I'm not sure why it is failing for some people, could be a space issue....could be something else. As for the transparent status bar there is an image you need to make transparent in order to do this. I can't remember the name off hand but I know its in framework-res.apk /res/drawables, and that it is near where the statusbar is.

Stericson
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] daveid:
I got the statusbar transparent. And I made a modified update zip for myself with the new framework-res.apk and nothing else in it, flashed it fine first time. So I do not know why this isn't working on others' phones. If anyone gets it working I will upload a new file with the transparency and a few other changes. Till then, I will hold onto my own work, save some trouble uploading new files.

If someone wants to just try my framework-res.apk out, let me know by PM.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Brutal-Force:
Failed Again.

This time I made sure I didnt have too many apps installed.

I also let the phone sit for 5 minutes at the boot screen.

I downloaded the Bluestar5mod-store.zip

Still no luck. But I will keep trying if you keep trying. :)

It is my favorite theme.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] daveid:
I am putting a link to the framework ONLY update, this does not include app icons, or the launcher (robot at bottom). If this works, I can add things slowly, it would be best to have one or two beta testers - rather then a bunch of people trying different files not knowing when they downloaded, etc.

So, I will put the link the the bare framework file up, just name it update.zip and try that. If it works for more than one person, could one of those be a tester? I will send you private links to updated files until we get one that has all the app icons, and the theme installing nicely.

PM to help test.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Brutal-Force:
Ok, installed Frameworkupdate.zip

Installed, and is running on JF ver. 1.41 RC33. Overwrote Hybrid theme. Hybrid looks to be intact except for the pull down bar. All of Hybrid's Icons are present. Basically looks like Hybrid theme but with the blue patterned Pull down bar. While receiving call shows typical green android. Clock is from Hybrid Theme.

By just framework, I imagine that nothing changes except for the bar?

You can PM me to help you test it.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] TheMasterBaron:
I was unable to get the "store" version of your theme to work. I then restored back to RC33 and installed the framework only version with success. I then install the "store" version on top of that and it worked! Hope this helps.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] daveid:
Sounds good. I am updating the first post with a framework & launcher version, only things missing are individual program icons. This should be better than the framework only, if it works I will remove the framework only version and start building on this one.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Brutal-Force:
I will try that.

I will try that next.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] daveid:
Updated the full files, to include my recent changes (transparent statusbar pull down most important). I don't think the store vs. deflate makes much of a difference. But I am thinking there are space issues involved on the /system partition for those with problems. Not sure what else to say, except to try the framework only (or framework + launcher) first, then the full update. If that method works (and doesn't prove to be too annoying) I will look for some mirrors and call this one a success.

Thanks to all who have put up with my first try at packaging a theme.

Maybe in the future (when I have time off work - the end of March?) I can make my own from scratch theme.

Has anyone gotten PocketSNES working on the X1? When I load it, it gets into the first menu just fine. I can set options etc, but when I press file - load ROM, nothing happens. No error, no menu, no popup, just nothing.

Anyone got an idea how to handle this? Would love to play some mario! :D
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
It's working fine on my x1 :D.
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
Well. I found out that I needed a new tgetfile.dll.

Now, I'm only getting either "Load Rom Failed!" or just the program exiting when I load a ROM - what am I doing wrong now? T.T
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Hm...why did you need the .dll. I did not install anything.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
Which copy of SNES did you install ??

As angelusz, I wasn't able to make it work too

Which copy/version/package did you download ??

Where did you find it ??

If it works for you, I'd like to give it a try and post it in the Library

PocketSNES itself is freeware. the ROMs are not. So yeah, you can post it.

attached is the pocketsnes that i use. unzip and use. place roms directly in the folder.
[XPERIA X1 General] dadeadman:
is there any gba emulator that is still receiving updates?
[XPERIA X1 General] Fikachu:
Your PocketSNES Version now works fine for me. Any idea how to get FPSCE to work on X1? Wanted to play Discworld II but he stucks because of the sound. Is there any way to fix that or is the X1 just to slow for sound emulation?
[XPERIA X1 General] nawfalah:
i would love to get a gba emulator working none seem to work well.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
Thanks, but it looks as the same one I tryed before

Will check it out

how did you get it to work, does hte screen take up the full screen?

i cant get it to work. and its very jerky.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Yeah, that is the version i use too. Works fine for me...
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
Doesn't work in WVGA at least. Also, it still doesn't load too many ROMS. I tried 1.53 but that doesn't work either. I've seen fullscreen games on youtube, so I'm sure it's possible..
[XPERIA X1 General] anath:
works fine in wvga for me. but only uses 3/4 of the screen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nanohaxor:
Hi there,

Can anyone please assist?

Whenever I select a phone Band of WCDMA and am operating on HSDPA [H], my Touch Diamond which is on Hutchison 3's Network, has very poor reception whenever indoors and has lots of call dropouts. The phone shows just the dot below the Antenna Icon or just one bar to the right, most of the time while on HSDPA.

Whenever I select a phone Band of GSM, and the phone switches to an Edge connection [E] then I have nearly full signal strength, but this is considered "Roaming" off my network service provider and therefore is much more expensive to use. (What a scam!).

I have tried installing several radio ROM's but it has not made any difference to the signal strength and dropout problems. The Radio ROMs tried so far:

1.09.25.23 Official (Quad Band)(52.51.25.26H)

1.08.25.20 Official (Quad Band)(52.44.25.24H)

1.08.25.08 Official (Quad Band)(52.44.25.24U)

1.00.25.BS14 Official (Quad Band)

1.00.25.06

The phone has had this problem with HSDPA signals since I purchased it.

My questions are:

1. Have other people experienced this kind of issue and is poor reception indoors normal when on HSDPA [H]?

2. Is there a way to force a Touch Diamond, say through a registry hack, to use a Band of WCDMA but stay on [3G] instead of using [H] ?

3. Is it more likely that my phone is a good candidate for a warranty return as perhaps the antenna is dodgy?

4. Are there any other suggestions I can try to fix this problem?

Any guidance here is appreciated.

Thanks,

nanohaxor

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Riker88:
I love my Diamond and think that it is one of the best PDAs I have used. Its small size is just perfect for me, and I find other phones eg iPhone, Touch HD too big for me as a phone. I have customised it to the extent that I get no lag issues and it runs really fast.

The one flaw which I haven't been able to fix is its poor 3G/HSDPA reception compared to other phones like my previous Nokia. (The iPhone suffers from this problem also).

You obviously live or work in a poor 3G reception area for Three. When your phone switches from 3G to GSM, it will invariably drop the call if you are on a call. If the 3G reception is strong, indoors or outdoors, there will be no problems. 3G reception can fluctuate especially indoors. I dont think there is any fault with your phone.

Your options are to:

1) Change mobile phone provider

2) Force the phone to use GSM in low 3G signal areas and you will have no problems with call drop outs. There is no extra cost for roaming in GSM with Three for calls, only for data.

I use option 2, since I use WI-FI in the house for all my data needs. The easiest way to do this is to use Comm Manager, under Settings, Phone, Band, and then select GSM in 'Network Type' to force it to use GSM, or WCDMA to force it to use 3G/HSDPA. The other option is Auto, which is the cause of the problem. I use a hack which enables a '3G' toggle in Comm Manager so that I can change from 3G to GSM with the simple touch of a button.

You will also find that the battery life of the Diamond is really poor when it has to constantly change from 3G to GSM and vice versa. On the other hand, forcing it to use GSM and only switching on 3G when you use data, will actually prolong the battery life. I get up to 2+ days battery life when using GSM only.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nanohaxor:
Riker88, appreciate your comments and feedback. Thanks.

I tried my 3 SIM in another Touch Diamond and found the problem with poor HSDPA reception on Hutchison 3 was exactly the same on the other phone. This likely means it's the provider, or phone + provider combination. In either case, darn it !!

I generally operate with the phone band selection on WCDMA, rather than GSM or Auto. I noticed yesterday while driving around the city that my phone switched from the HSDPA (ie. 3.5G) service with the [H] icon on the screen to the 3G (ie. 3.0G) service with the [3G] icon on the screen, and the [3G] service signal was stronger. What I'm wondering is this:

Is there a way to force the Touch Diamond to use [3G] all the time, instead of [H]?

nanohaxor
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] snufkin:
From my understanding, you should get same radio signal strength no matter it is 3G or HSDPA enabled. Your observation may be your original signal (with HSDPA) is too weak and hand-over to another radio station that have stronger signal but no hsdpa.

I also notice that the 3G reception capability of diamond is weak. But this is nothing dealing with hsdpa.

I posted this over at the other ppc site. I just want to thank everyone on this site. I got a neutered Verizon Touch Pro and have been able to download all the necessary fixes and cabs to get

GPS, youtube working on my HTC TP.

I finally set up my phone to do all my gps, web, and music in my car, a Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

It is connected to a bypass switch that overrides the built-in car OEM nav unit.

I had a carputer (see my other youtube videos) but the HTC Touch Pro kicks ***.

I was dealing with Road Runner and no album art. The bluetooth GPS always needed to be re-paired. IGo does not run in Windows XP, etc.....

With the HTC TP, I have everything I want. I even use W.V.D to download youtube music videos in mp4 and play them on my phone while I drive.

I wanted a HTC TP because of the miniSD, the GPS, the video out and I can run iGo8, Iguidance and Garmin XT.

Here is the youtube video of it in action:

Do you use the Official HTC TV Out Dongle? If so, do you charge your TP at the same time. I don't have the TV Out Dongle but the Audio/Charger one that came with my Fuze. I noticed when I play music in my car thru an Aux. Input and Charge at the same time I hear feedback.

Just wondering if you hear feedback while you charge at the same time?

Quick question.. Which converter did you use to get the signal from USB to RCA NTSC/PAL? I bought a box from converters.tv, and the signal is not grounding right.. Now that I paid up, i'm sure there is no rush to get my problem resolved, lol :mad:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mrspeedmaster:
I am using the OEM HTC video cable hooked up to a GVIF adaptor that is made for LandRover, Lexus, and the same one use for the Prius. It is a converter box with 4 AV inputs that overrides the factory navigation unit. GVIF is a connection like HDMI for cars.

As to the other question, there is a bit of a background buzz. I drown it out with the volume. I'll try to shield it better.
