Oh yes, i remember this one. I will update my tut with a link to this thread. But Ramerson, it would be better if you provide a link to a good tool that can be used to compare these two files, as this is the question, i am sure, every noob will ask next :D

method to know gene old or new...Fails

Hi! Ramersonw

very sad to say but the method u mentioned to check whether gene is old or new has failed in my case....

Phone stats....

S/N: HT8XXXXXXXXXX

purchased on 17th Jan '09

ROM Date 03/07/08

Radio Version 2.79.90

Protocol Version 4.1.13.34

ExtROM Versuon 1.17.720.101

when i used the test tool to analyze int img file...it confirmed as old gene...but when i used olipro's method to unlock SPL it bricked my gene...

Finally I had to use geneunbricker and then successfully upgraded to Sumit's ManillaVanilla for new gene....

My device is now working fine.....

Please add it as exception to ur method of determining gene status
[P3400 ROM Development] ramersonw:
This test was not made by me. I used it to know the model of my gene and it worked. So I re-posted it here.

But if your device has the serial HT8xxx and already came with the WM6 most likely it would be a new gene. The test would not be necessary.

Could you send me your bk_06_0001.img. I want to analyse it.

I'll update the first post with a warning.
[P3400 ROM Development] haree:
its not so

hi

my phone is 8XXX slno and while i did the HSPL (thanks to help from Krazy) i found out that even though my phone was around 7 mths old came with WM6 and p3400i it turned out to be old gene so is suggest( i have also posted a thread on the same in this forum) so kindly dont assume new or old gene by ur nos u need to test with ramersnows testers or use Krays stiky and do the what it says it also has all the tools

[P3400 ROM Development] karan5124:
To be sure

The .img file confirmed my build on date as 26 march 2008 , now should i be sure that my phone is new gene ...

and could i use gene_hspl_HT8x. to unlock my spl..

what could be the harms.. if it didn't work
[P3400 ROM Development] ramersonw:
According to the date of your spl you have a new gene. Use the unlock tools for the new gene and you will not have problems.

Hello, people :)

Does anyone know if the non-wining panels from the SE Panel Contest can be used, downloaded, etc.... Or are they now property of Sony Ericsson? Can the general public get a more detailed view of all of the entries?

I bet there are many panels that didn-t have what it takes to win, but are great nonetheless :)

Sorry if this had been discussed before, I could locate a previous post regarding this....

Cheers
[XPERIA X1 General] Domipost:
Yeah, that would be great. No idea if it is possible.
[XPERIA X1 General] jas0607:
Apparently the runners-up will be available for dl sometime in late March (iirc). Personally I didn't think they looked great though. No idea about the rest of the entries.
[XPERIA X1 General] dreamerworx:
Haha, of course I'm not expecting greatness, but still, there might be some panels that are worth it :P It was kinda weird for me that only one winner was awarded :confused:

Is it an ownership issue? SE having all rights reserved to the entries?

i need help

i port htc touch rom containg touchflo 3

but there is no finger scrooling available can anybody help me what is wrong ?
[P3400 ROM Development] mido0109850352:
did the touchflo 3d work with you?

and which rom did you try?

i read that it is still in porting stage as it is vga

and if it even has been ported it would be too slow

see ya
[P3400 ROM Development] ankit360:
no man I m not talking about touchflo 3d

I I talking about thouchflo which enable finger scrooling in touch devices like elfin opal
[P3400 ROM Development] ank707:
which ROM r u usin.........?????

.....touchflo is enabled nly in prouser n manila vanila ROM....
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
No i think ankit is talking about full finger scrolling even in applications like MS WORD etc which is not enabled by GWES.exe in Pro Users ROM. HTC Touch (Elf) has it, for more details watch videos on you tube that demonstrate this phone.

@Ankit: Count me in buddy, i'm also wiling to do this on every ROM we have, or atleast on the newer ones. This is a very required feature and i am very sure that it doesnt needs any special hardware.
[P3400 ROM Development] hotdoc0:
hi guys...

why not burn the free pointui into a win6.5 ROM with the vizta themes they have on their site...its FAAAAST and the themes look REALLY cool!

any feedback?

[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
PointUI 2's development is going on very fast. I dont think it will be wise to include it in ROM. THat would hamper updates.
[P3400 ROM Development] ankit360:
sumit u got my point

now we want to know why it not working

is it required different touch.dll or some registry tweaking
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
I really dont have much idea about it, but i am searching for it. It can be related to gwes.exe and touch.dll but i suspect HTCStroke.dll, HTCGesture.dll and possibly Biotouch.dll which are part of the package HTCGesture in opal ROM, are reponsible for that functionality. Will try find out more.

@all: Can anybody please suggest me a tool that can be used to view exported functions inside Windows Mobile DLLs? There is a tool that comes with Visual Studio 6 and up called depends.exe that allows that for PC based DLLs but is there something for pocket pc as well?
[P3400 ROM Development] ramersonw:
@Ankit: I think the SmartTouch solve this problem. It is a complement to the touch flo and can be configured to work with different apps. In the RGU of the package already have some apps configured. You can find it in the ROM of iolite.
[P3400 ROM Development] ankit360:
i try it its not working i think its for navi-wheel not for touch screen :confused:
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Rightly said ankit. I too tried the HTC Diamond version of it and it didn't worked, and from the registry settings and all, i too got this feeling that its for some navi-wheel instead of touch screen.
[P3400 ROM Development] ramersonw:
Really the SmartTouch is for NaviWheel. Sorry:D. I will seek some solution, if I find i'll post here.
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
I think I saw in the dev / hack section that to get tf3d work you need specific tf3d compatible dlls, please search that forum, about porting tf3d.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
^^Hey buddy, its not about touchflo 3D actually, Ankit is intrested in getting finger scrolling in all apps.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Hey Ankit, from all the effort i did, here is my conclusion on this issue:

There are two things that enable finger scrolling in WIndows Mobile:

1. MSTouch: This is the functionality built into WIndows Mobile inside the GWES.exe file which runs the graphical windowing system. All the latest builds of Windows mobile has this, including my 6.1 ROMs and your Wm 6.5 ROMs.

2. Touch.dll driver and Biotouch.exe a.k.a TouchFlo: In HTC Touch (Elf) and the others like that. touchscreen hardware is different and so is the driver. The touch.dll that comes with GENE is 27.7 KB in size while in all these touch phones, its about 57.7 KB in size. Apart from this, if you observe closely, the touch phones like elf can differentiate between a finger touch and a stylus touch. For example, if you open a long document in word and use finger with it, it scrolls, but if you use your thumbnail or stylus with it, it will select text. So its a hardware feature not only software. So porting it is out of question if my theory is true. To proove my point, i also tried replacing the touch.dll in OEMDrivers folder with one from Elf, it didnt worked. Device got started but touchscreen was not responding at all.

So thats that. I think we can only have partial fingerscrolling support in our gene using MSTouch. Thats it!

Hi guys, sorry for my poor english. I have a problem, i can't send sms or view it. When i click the icon of the sms in the today screen, doesn't appear anithyng. When i select a contact and try to send an sms, doesn't appear anithyng. Help Me Please!

Thanks:)
[Touch Cruise General] Aiden88:
Can i delete the sms trough file explorer? Where are the sms in the windows folder?
[Touch Cruise General] Snapphane:
I had that problem too or at least a similar. I found out that the reason was that the system had created two folders for e-mail attachments. This apparently lead to some confusing on which folder to use and thus the whole thing refused to start.

After deleting both folders everything worked as a charm again :) The folder then gets recreated next time it needs to store an attachment, so no worries there!
[Touch Cruise General] Aiden88:
How can i delete this folder if i can't access to outlook/sms window?
[Touch Cruise General] talbotlives:
weird timing, I just posted the same problem just now:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=486297

Snapphane's fix worked for me, or at least it allows me to access the mail part of outlook so far (I have not re- set up the email accounts- it looks like all of my mail has still disappeared).

I went to the storage card with file explorer, and deleted a folder called something like "inbox.msi.233406...", and now all of a sudden I can get into the mail fine.

Thanks snapphane, and lets hope it keeps working!
[Touch Cruise General] Aiden88:
but i haven't mail, i have only sms and they are in Phone memory...

you definitely ordered the wrong one.... or recieved the wrong one....

looks like you need this

Given the back, looks like you ordered the one for the sprint Touch Pro:

The Sprint Touch Pro is 2mm longer and rounder then the Fuze.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] hoknight:
But webpage show the Compatibility is for use with HTC Fuze (AT&T)

Isn't same with mine one?:confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Scrtcwlvl:
They definitely either shipped you the wrong version or you bought the wrong version. As previously stated the one you received is for the Sprint Touch Pro, which has different dimensions than the HTC Fuze.

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr2htch2-bl.htm

That is what they shipped you, is this what you ordered? (What does your receipt say? Match or post the product number)

-If so, then you bought the wrong one, talk to them about returning it (shipped at your own expense) and purchase this

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hlcsr2htfe-bk.htm

-If that was not what you ordered, let them know. They shipped you the wrong product and you need to get what you paid for.

hi i have a parrot mki9000 car kit which only seems to set itself up as a headset profile so disconnects all the time

parrot show the following:

On certain phones, it is normal. It depends on the Bluetooth profile of the phone.

There are 2 bluetooth profiles for phones : Headset profile and HandsFree profile.

HeadSet profile is the more basic profile. Your phone and the car kit don't need to be always connected all the time.

They only connect to each other when they need to exchange data during the calls.

HandsFree profile is the more elaborate profile. Your phone and the kit are always connected together.

on checking selected partnerships on the parrot kit wireless stereo and hands free are both ticked/selected

firmware being run is the latest vodafone uk rom

any ideas??

I used to use vaj555's link but now that i upgraded to 6.1 it does not work an only takes me to dialer.

i searched for a solution and came up with the following. but my Atom Life does not have launchmsitem.exe

1. Create a shortcut key to \Windows\LaunchMSItem.exe w/ "CALLHISTORY_ALL_CALLS" parameters ( I think you have it w/ yr HTC home). You can do it easily w/ Resco Explorer or the hard way below:

a.Create a text file and name its as "CallHistory.lnk"
b. 49#"\Windows\LaunchMSItem.exe" CALLHISTORY_ALL_CALLS as it content
c. put it into yr phone (e.g. /Windows)

2. Then the registry as follow
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2
"Open"="\Windows\CallHistory.lnk"
"Default"="History"

Please help.

Hello all.

I have a problem when copying some files to the Diamond. I have it plugged in as a USB Drive.

I am trying to copy the files for Android to the phone, i first tried copying the whole folder over (i know i have enough space), but it came up with "Cannot copy data: The Parameter is Incorrect" error.

i have since been able to copy over other files, and some of the Android files, but it wont copy the 32mb main files.

anyone got any idea? Google hasn't helped this time...

Cheers!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mitchmangr:
I've seen this error as well. I unplugged the phone from the usb, plugged it in again, selected "active sync" connection, waited for windows to say active sync was connected, unplugged the usb to disconnect and finally connected again in disk drive mode. The transfer worked.

My active sync version is 4.5 and it only seems to happen with large files i.e 600 MB

Hope that helps!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mugglesquop:
cheers :) will give it a go.

file is only 32mb, seems strange.

i've heard that it can be due to the formatting, as FAT only supports up to 4GB or something, but the file is much smaller than that!

-update: tried your idea, and is still not working :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mugglesquop:
well, sort of solved the problem lol

put the files into a ZIP then copied the zip file accross, then unzipped it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mitchmangr:
Just happened to me again!

The phone was attatched in disk drive mode, 'my computer' properties showed 380 MB free space. I tried to add a 330MB file and got 'parameter incorrect' error. Deleted a 1GB folder and with so much free space, the 300 MB file transferred without a problem. Be interesting to see exactly how full the 4GB storage can be before the error occurs.

Update:

'my computer' properties /removable drive free space =740 MB

phone/settings/memory/storage card free space = 676 MB

That's why it gave me an error this time :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jackyking:
i've encountered this problem some days ago.

i even thought that there is something wrong or some bad segments with my diamond's internal flash storage.

then i formatted the whole internal storage with A NEW USB CABLE which came along with my Canon PowerShot DC...

well, with this new usb cable, no matter how big the file is, such as 1kb or 1.4gb, i can copy them to internal storage without any problem.

just FYI...

sorry for my english 'cause English is not my native language. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mitchmangr:
Hi Jackyking!!

Your English is fine! I'd be interested to know if you can completely fill your 4GB storage. Let me know how you get on :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jackyking:
:D

When i formatted my diamond's flash storage, in case of new problems, i filled the whole 4GB storage with variety stuffs, such as mp3/avi/cab/rar files, at last the whole available storage is filled, well, it takes times :)

then, when i try to copy another 4MB mp3 file to it, i got a "no more free space" message from windows, then i tried the same with a 3.9MB mp3 file, it was done without any problem. after this, i thought it's OK for my diamond's flash storage.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mitchmangr:
sounds like formatting could make a difference.... some questions :-

would windows report bad sectors (if there were any) after formatting flash memory?

Do you think defragging flash memory makes a difference?

Could fragmentation cause "skips" when playing audio/video files?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jackyking:
1. no bad sectors reported by windows.

2. maybe, it is easy to backup all 4gb data and format the storage then restore the data, you will see the difference.

3. that won't happen. the "skips" or "short pause" of playing mp3 on diamond is another issue.

you can search the forum. that may be a driver or hardware problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mitchmangr:
Thanks for replying :) I won't say anymore until I try formatting the 4gb ! While I'm here, hasn't the Diamond got a bloody wonderful screen !!:D

By the way ,what is your native language or 'mother tongue' ?
