I am amazed that no body replied to post. Looks like I am the only one using GPS with eexcalibur. Anyway here is the info.

I am using BT-339 GPS with bluetooth. It works very well without any problem. Since the connection is bluetooth, you can keep GPS in you backpack or pocket and excalibur will have wireless connection to GPS. No wires hanging out :-).

I installed "Pocket Street" which came in my MS Street and Trip 2006 CD. I exported map from MS Street and Trip 2007 on my laptop and copied to SD card. Pocket street picks up map and shows location right where I am driving with dynamically updating my position exactly like my TomTom GPS. It does not have turn-by-turn direction, but I do not need those any way. For directions I have TomTom. The map is excellent, which I like much better than TomTom. The resolution is excellent, with all the builtin POIs etc. The map of whole state (right to fullest zoom in) fits in 6 MB to 30 MB. 30 MB for large state like Texas, and 6 MB for smaller states. Pocket street do not have any learning curve. Another advantage is that you do not need, data connection for maps :-). A big plus, since I do not have unlimited data.

Also I found NoniGPSPlot which can work without maps and you can mark where you parked your car. Then the progy shows the distance and position of your car relative to your current position. This is what I was looking for. The app has about 30 minute to 1 hr learning curve, but when you get how to use, you will be amazed with it usefulness. The position and distance gets updated as you wale towards/away from your makred car parking postion.

[HTC Excalibur] tahdor:
Bupahs, thanks for pointing me to search. I did searched the answer. And I did looked at all the messages you pointed to. But all of those require maps. And all of those need maps to work with. Also the smartphone version do not allow to record a point (i.e to mark and remember parking poistion of car). And if they allow, they do not allow the point to be off road (i.e. in parking lot). Hence I needed a solution which does not use maps, because any app which uses maps do not allow points to be off road.

Thanks.

Dear all,

...my very small experience with ROM cooking (Tornado and Vox) has not shown me yet the options here. I made the experience that cooking ROMs will deliver the same amount of free device memory, no matter how many options you are puttting in the cooked ROMs. So I wonder what is the benefit of making these things optional?

I also noticed that dumping the part02 delivers usually a large amount of binary zero at the end of the dump. Usually you are dumping part02 according to the size indicated in the partion table retrieved by pdocread -l. Just look at what you dumped later - the last 1/3 of the dump simply contains nothing!

I wonder if it is not possible to reclaim this part of the FlashROM and make it available to the device memory - to be able to install more programs on-device afterwards. My goal is have a bare-bones ROM that also only uses the required bare minimum ROM space in the part02.

Do I mis-interpret that part02 is the place on the device where the Operating System resides?

I hope some of you experts can shed light on this - I have not found any treatment of this topic using various searches on the forum and the wiki.

thanks + bye

tobbbie

:-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tobbbie:
A few months later and newly motivated for cooking (SDHC on my Tornado) I found out myself. It is actually very easy:

1.) find out how large the OS file is (it will be sized in 64k blocks)

2.) round up to the next MB (e.g. 1b00000)

3.) when entering the command "format BINFS" you can actually give it a parameter, which is the size to be formatted.

- This size will define the partition size of the BINFS.

- It can be altered in 1MB steps only.

- The minimum size depends on the bootloader version. Just enter "format BINFS 1b11111", which is an invalid (non MB aligned) value, and you will be told the options.

4.) load your ROM

5.) the information shown in "Settings-> About" for "Total Storage" varies depending on how large you are formatting the BINFS.

If you just enter "format BINFS" it will use the previously formatted size - and keep the overhead if your cooked ROM is smaller than the initially loaded one.

Mind that you should align your ROM content to this 1MB limit to optimally exploit the available BINFS storage. In my cooking I found out that (at least for the Tornado cooking I do with Nitrogens kitchen) the last 64k of the 1MB increment cannot be used - if you go beyond this you will get a ROM size of xxMB + 64k - forced to add another MB to the BINFS . So the optimal ROM size is xxMB-64k actually.

Sorry if I bored anyone with this - but looking around that time I could not find obvious threads or indications about how to handle this correlation. Also none of the knowledgable ones cared to read or reply to this query - so at least I do now to list my own findings :-)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tobbbie:
I know that others have discovered the Format BINFS <size> and its benefit for the storage - and there I got it from finally :-).

SGregory and his Tornado related WM65 thread have revealed it to me (despite I did not read the wohle thread) and pushed forward to create a bit-tweaked WM6 ROM based on Nitrogens WM6 which I like very much for its stability and tweaks (also on the settings .cpl.xml which guide my investigations on tweaking a little more). I am still playing with this - and asked in the Nitrogen WM6 thread if anyone is interested in such old stuff. In fact I doubt big interest to rise as many jump on the latest OS versions anyway.

Just the time when I asked (back in March this year) - nothing came back in this forum, despite the format BINFS option to specify the size is there since a long time!

Increasing RAM.

For me, the lack of free RAM is much more of a bottleneck than free storage space in ROMs.

Is there any such way to increase the RAM space?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tobbbie:
The only way to increase free RAM is to observe which programs and options eat such memory when active. Usual candidates are:

- PagePool (my ROM has 6MB - many have this, SGregory's WM65 have 5MB, I also used down to 3MB without problems if you don't use fancy programs or homescreens)

- Cache Size can be restricted to e.g. 1MB

- avoid many programs in background

Over all the free RAM on my Tornado is better (>30MB) than on my VOX (~28MB) despite the pagepool is the same size or even less on my VOX and the OS is the same version (6.0).

My most demanding scenario is Conduits PocketPlayer playing music while JBed runs BGBlizt2go plus AudioNotes recording a call - still enough memory for this case.

What makes you bother about RAM?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rajathvsm:
Thanks

In my experience, I've found that PRO ROM's are more memory <RAM> dependent than standard ones. And some of the apps I use require PRO to work. So I was trying to maximize the RAM space available. More the RAM, faster the app loads and functions. Basically, PRO ROM's need more RAM just to be stable as standard ones.

hy!

I have dutty 2.1 extreme rom, and can't get the stock tabs in 3d like on pic. its only list of stocks.

Can someone tell me how to do this?

Thanx
[Touch HD General] alvinswim:
the stock list is part of the new TF3D I think, and if you wanna go back to the old one you'd have to find a ROM that has an older TF3D stock app..

i actually prefer the new one that comes with Dutty 1.8+,....
[Touch HD General] carlowise:
ok, so it's the new one I thougt that it's yust to change the look of stock.

but the old have a 3d options this one not.

thanx

Hi,

I have a CID-unlocked G3 Wizard. When I was flashing a new ROM, it has failed at 98% and RUU showed an UPDATE ERROR message. I've flashed an chinese Dopod ROM, and Wizard is working again.

Now, I have a little problem: I can flash anything what I want, and effects are still the same - either chinese ROM is still booting up or Wizard stalls at second splashscreen. I did a little poking in MTTY and it seems that something has happened to CID:

Cmd>info 2
GetDeviceInfo=0x00000002

GetDeviceCID: Error - InitDecoder

HTCS ´í•6HTCE

Cmd>r2sd all
***** user area size = 0x79280000 Bytes

R2SDBackup() - Download type = 5
usTotalBlock = 1 sizeof(SDCARD_SIGNATRUE_TABLE)=512

GetDeviceCID: Error - InitDecoder

GetDeviceCID: Error - InitDecoder

You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image

Now, is there something I can do to flash the ROMs normally? I rather do not want to use WST to write ROM, everytime when I use it, it hangs at 90%.

EDIT: Nevermind, I have flashed a HardSPL, and now everything is working normally :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] fredlfesl:

Which TF3D2 do I need to install to use this skin?

Also, I tried [Touch-IT Manila 2 LandScape] and I got the following message.

Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate.

Any thoughts?
[XPERIA X1 General] ratchetnclank:
I don't mean to sound rude or anything but the icons look a little low quality. I think if you lowered the size and depth of the bezel and emboss on them it would look much better and change the outer glow to a light bright blue and lower the size a little., the blue you currently doesn't look as clean imo.

Again i'm not being rude just trying to give some helpful feedback, I've been photoshopping for a few years now and just wanted to give some advice.

A little more like this maybe?

Feel free to ignore me though.
[XPERIA X1 General] Kid_DC:
i thought this of all of your icons in shadowsong, 2 ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
I think the problem there lies not in the manila, but your ROM. Looks like it can't replace the files in your windows folder (some are system files).

Try both Manila 2 installs there are (itje's and the one in the sticky) to see if that fixes anything. If not, I'm not sure what you should do. :p

Did you base that opinion on the screenshots, or on the skin being on your phone?

Personally, I think it looks just fine. I left the glow a bit lighter so the screen doesn't get all too blue. Also, I used the original manila icons and edited them. The icons don't look low quality on my phone at all, I can see all the edges clearly, straight as an arrow.

Reducing the glow size would be an option, though I'm afraid that the icons won't stand out enough then, falling into the background.

And you feel now is the time to tell me? :p
[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
Looks good Angelusz!! Your desktop setup looks exactly like mine lol..
[XPERIA X1 General] Magger:
Very nice, thanks, only thing withholding this from being perfect is the one problem you've already mentioned yourself in the first post.

Any ETA on a fix for that (v1.1)?
[XPERIA X1 General] Magger:
Ok it wasnt that perfect apparently, when clicking the clock it breaks tf3d leaving you no other option that to soft reset your device.
[XPERIA X1 General] dahanist:
Installed a custom ROM and installed this skin.

Works now. ;)

One question though.

I read it somewhere on XDA that to change the wallpaper I have to edit something.

And just wondering, What does Wallpaper menu under the Settings do?
[XPERIA X1 General] ratchetnclank:
On the screenshots, i dont have manilla 2 installed ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
Thanks :D What's the same, the icons order?

I'm working on it, but it involves editing mode9 files. The original edit was done by Pama. I'm trying to contact him for help. (It's a jumble, manila code). Though it's not a huge problem, so it doesn't exactly have top-prio ^_^

Are you sure that's caused by my skin and not just your manila 2 install? If it's one of itje's older touch-it 4.0 RC's, the notification manager isn't installed yet, crashing TF3D. Please give me some more info to verify.

That function doesn't work yet, but that has nothing to do with my skin, it's TF3D 2 that's still in beta.

There's the problem then. Don't judge on low-quality screenshots. ;) (Have to keep it small for XDA.)
[XPERIA X1 General] Magger:
Your signature says youre using Touch-it V4.0 RC1.1, so am I.
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
The problem is caused by that ROM.
[XPERIA X1 General] F-Styla:
Can you upload the only the wallapers which are used in this theme?

And is it possible to use this theme with the old clock?
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
I'm currently working on a newer version that's compatible with the newest version of TF3D in Itje's ROMs. I *can* upload just the wallpapers, but it wouldn't look good, I can tell you that much.

It's also possible to use this with the old clock, but again, it wouldn't look good.

Hi,

I installed this on my WWE Rom and it only shows the English language (also in menu>about>Installed languages: it only shows English, not Dutch).

Did you install this on a Dutch rom or also on WWE? (Maybe it autodetects the language of the system and installs this version 0409 instead of 0413).

Do you (or someone else) know how I can install the Dutch version on my WWE rom?

Thanks for your reply. I cannot remove the sim card because the phone needs to synchronize email and calender items using microsoft exchange direct push. The phone is only used as a pda which synchronizes these items over the air. The user may not make phonecalls with it.

then the second option!!!!!

or third or fourth!!!

I turnedthe phone off in Comm manager,

However, the text Phone is still displayed iin the left corner at the bottom of the main screen, or home screen however you call it. When I click it it says "the phone is switched off, would you like to turn it on?". So the user is still able to use it.
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
If that is the case, then ask your operator to place a barr on outgoing calls (not including data of course). You could do this on your phone but is easily reversable.
