[Touch HD General] ScottDK:
Thanks for confirming what I had heard! Definately want to get my phone while I'm in HK.

What I'm concerned about is that they might do things differently in Japan (so you HAVE to buy a Japanese phone), so wondering if all features work, in particular SMS / mail etc... Has anyone actually brought a phone to Japan? How did it go?
[Touch HD General] hiroakir:
Touch HD will work with Softbank and Docomo SIM, however, both work little differently.

With Softbank SIM, SMS works, no MMS. email...depends on the definition but PC based email, such as yahoo mail, gmail is OK. however, Softbank mail (email on mobile phone, very similar to MMS) can not be configured as MMS.

There are way of configureing this by some utility software build by user group, but basicaly information such as server names, access point, ID&password is not officialy disclosed from Softbank.

Internet access is OK, but access to Internet by default configuration (which is automaticaly configured when Softbank SIM is detected by HD) will use access point which is not fixed cost service. Which means you may end up paying a lot of bill.

With Docomo SIM, SMS is OK, No MMS. email such as yahoo mail, Gmail is OK.

iMode mail(email service from Docomo, similar to MMS) can not be configured. Docomo does not allow access to iMode mail server from non-Docomo devices.

Internet access is OK. I haven't confirmed on access point, but possibly similar to Softbank SIM.

(I only had chance to test for little while on Docomo, so not able to clarify)

I hope this information helps:)
[Touch HD General] ScottDK:
Thanks Hiroakir

That's exactly what I wanted to know. Actually, it's more than I thought to ask! I didn't think about Softbank's unlimited data plan not applying. I'm a heavy data user (work exchange server mail)... so... I might buy in Japan.

Thanks again!

Scott

:cool:
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] peachen:
wow~! :cool:

it's very beautiful even on my Chinese X1 :D

but like the pic, some number would be cut, is there any solution?

thanks for gtrab, make our x1 more & more pretty
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Tri3Dent:
looks nice but if the font is bigger, that would be perfect..
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] human75:
you can make system font bigger with advanced config or sktools.thanks for lovely work gtrab.very cool.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] zenkinz:
it doesnt work. i mean the bigger font. the underlying appears to be the font file itself.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] gtrab:
Yes that's why I am figuring out how to improve it

I like it even when 10% smaller than Tahoma

I am working on it
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Bluediss:
Don't take a bite out of your desk

There's not much activity in this forum... Guess this font is giving you a hard time! Too bad I only know how to flash a ROM and install some cabs...

Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your work so far. Ít's just a little too small, but I'm already getting used to it...

I think that this font suits the new 6.5 "today" screen well!
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Korbicz:
This font looks better on a screenshot than on my device.

Now, I want my Tahoma back. Can anyone point to cab with standard Tahoma font so I can replace it?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Bluediss:
According to the first post you can uninstall the SEX1 font...
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Korbicz:
Hmm?

Of course this appears on the installed programs list and you can uninstall it but this won't change system font back. Just because Tahoma font was overwritten and needs to be overwritten again.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] zenkinz:
just uninstall, and then do a soft-reset, I believe the tahoma fonts will be reloaded back because it's a ROM file.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Angelusz:
This is a really nice addition Gtrab. would you be so kind as to extend the font for it to work in manila as well? I believe that's achieved by copying the files and renaming them to another fontname, the one that manila uses, I don't know the specifics though.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] gtrab:
@Korbicz: Have you uninstalled it ? IT WILL

@Angelusz: Yes I also changed the manila font but I want to solve the size issue before releasing it
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Korbicz:
I did. Soft reset after. Nothing changed. Tried changing to some other font with Xperia Tweak. Strange things happened - some items (menus, icon names, start menu) got new font, rest was still showing SE-style font.

EDIT: OK, managed to fix this. I extracted tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf from my Diamond, copied them to Xperia with Resco File Explorer, soft-reset - voila!. I've got good old Tahoma back :D.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] zenkinz:
just a thought, maybe gtrab you may want to instasll the font using a different name, and use the font alias to replace Tahoma with the new font you have...
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] gtrab:
Thanks for the advice but I think that's not necessary since I tested the install-uninstall routine many times before posting the CAB, and it works

The original Tahoma font is auto-restored when this skin is uninstalled (unless you install it twice, as with other system-files replacing apps, because then windows mobile will be confused about the orignal one), you can test it by yourself
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] zenkinz:
I thought if you just simply delete the file, the system will restore the missing file from the ROM.

anyway, here's the screenshot of the font that's 1.5x bigger than the original size you have :D :D :D

I think it's too huge, maybe I will try 1.2x .. ;)

View attachment 171748 View attachment 171749
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] gtrab:
YES YES YES !!! try 1.2x and please report !!

Looks promissing :eek:
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] zenkinz:
this is the screenshot using 1.2x font ...

View attachment 171760 View attachment 171761 View attachment 171762
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Angelusz:
1.2x looks best so far. I'd like to see 1.3x as well to be absolutely sure, but it's a big improvement!
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] zenkinz:
was thinking the same, and since you ask, I decided to give it a try.. certainly looks better to me.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] gtrab:
Thanks so much zenkinz, tested all of them:

I liked 1.3x the most, but even 1.2x is too big to fit into some system predefined-size boxes, and gets cut in some borders (curious...)

I attached a pic of your 1.2x resize to post 1, please take a look:

some letters don't fit into their respective spaces (Sun Mon Tue Wed...)

Even then, I CABbbed your resized 1.2x font and added it to post 1

I am currently using it :D and I really don't care about the little edges lost in some places :p

Sorry to bother, but can you prepare a 1.1x (10% bigger) ??
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] tolol:
1.2 look nice on mine... thanks
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] zenkinz:
I tried a 1.1x on width, and 1.3x on height,

and here's the result
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] emokulit:
installed the 1.2 here are some blurry areas

the xperia keyboard looks cool!
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] gtrab:
glad to see you are using the "X" series taskbar icons :D

Yeah, we can't seem to find a proper combination, but it is clear that width must stay at 1x...

zenkinz's efforts with the 1.1x width and 1.2 height still loose some pixels in the edges (mostly over the Xperia panels, where the text boxes size is limited)

Maybe 1.1x or 1.2x heigth and 1.0x width would do the trick without cutting edges

Your help has been unvaluable indeed zenkinz
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] zenkinz:
@gtrab, I'm trying to keep 1.1x by 1.3x (because I do find at 1.3x the font will look nicer) and focus on resizing characters that are too wide, in this case "W" and "M".
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] zenkinz:
this will require abit more time since a plain scale down will make "W" and "M" ugly.

so in the meantime, I try with 1.0x width and 1.2x height, and here's how it looks like..
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Angelusz:
Changing the proportions does degrade the looks a tad, but there's no other way, WM can't cope with different sizes. I think Zenkinz idea to alter the "W" and "M" whilst upscaling the width a bit as well will look best. As for height, I think 1.3x is best indeed.

Keep up the great work!
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] darthmelk:
It's a nice font, but you still need to work on it. I tried 1.2x but it's very hard to read in some apps (Palringo, SPB Insight, Messaging etc.). I some screens it looks big enough, in others it looks pretty small and unclear.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Bluediss:
It definitely looks a little better, but I have a 'small' problem on my today screen... I can only see the hours, not the minutes (except when there's a 1 in the minutes). See attached screenshot.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Angelusz:
So, when do you guys think the update will be coming?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] gtrab:
sine resizing the font is not rendering adequate results, I am working on a registry resizing, testing some registry settings incorporated into the CAB
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Angelusz:
Any progress to report?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] vinokirk:
Installing the 1.2 version crashes my phone when it starts up. It gets to the '2nd' boot screen, make the 'bling noise' then after about 40 secs i get a white screen and it freezes there. This is on a fresh install. Then I have to hard reset.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] gtrab:

I abandoned this proyect because I migrated to WM6.5 last month

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone can cook me rom on base of 5.05.401.1 WWE Stock unbranded HTC ROM but in build 2100+ without any own customisations.

I would like everything identical like in stock rom only 2100+.

Someone can help me?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] htcfan78:
I would suggest that you try Da_G's Simple ROM Kitchen found here. I was really hesitant to try cooking until I downloaded this kitchen. It really makes things easy.

The other option is to contact Kareem9nba. I think he is still taking requests.

I would try the first option, and if you don't succeed, at least you would have made an effort.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] majkeljj:
ok. thanks :)
[HTC Excalibur] Bupahs:
Its fairly obvious, something you are doing is causing this issue. The odds of it happen FOUR times on four different devices and it being one of the ROMs is astronomical at best.

You replaced the Memory card, this solves that problem in part. How do you access the card via card reader or via the Dash on your computer? You could have a defective cable or card reader that is in turn damaging your card.

Do you overclock? if so what speed and do you overclock regularly?

Battery? Have you replaced it or are you simply using the same battery in all of these devices? Usually cutting off and battery reading 0 is a bad battery.

Third party programs is not usually a concern, you dont even want to know how many things i run on my Dash on a daily basis lol
[HTC Excalibur] jarroyo:
Hmmmmmm

Actually, I have had 4 Dashes but only two have had this problem. The first was replaced because of a defective screen, the second I used almost a year before it exhibited this problem. The third, that is the one I just replaced and this is the 4th, the one I received today.

Well, unfortunately, I have used different cables, I access the memory card through the Dash with installed programs or through Explorer as a Mobile Device in Windows XP and ActiveSync.

This is the second Memory card, having purchased a new one when I got the new Black in case that might have been the problem. I am also using a new Battery, I purchased a new battery when the second Dash started having problems. When it would die, I could switch out the battery and it would read the different battery as fresh, even if the other were charged. The battery in this new one came with the Dash I got 2 weeks ago. I also have another one that is new as well.

I thought about overclocking but actually did not try that. I am not sure enough about how much to overclock and what setting I should use. I heard in one post that OMAP might be the problem. The only thing in common with each Dash that had the problem was the flash to 6.1. Neither had a problem until after the flash. Maybe I was holding my mouth wrong when I flashed it!

Ideas after eliminating the battery and the memory and overclocking? Has anyone ever experienced the operating system misreading the battery?
[HTC Excalibur] Bupahs:
Battery and Card are the usual suspects, with them gone we are back to the ROM. I have three Dashes, two have 6.1 installed and are used heavily the third is my guinea pig when it comes to testing new cooks, applications etc neither of the two 6.1's show any signs such as what you described.

So I am at a loss, sorry. hopefully this forth Dash works out better. perhaps you should stay away from cooked ROMs and see if the issues reappear, then you can start to narrow it down from there.
[HTC Excalibur] Bupahs:
Here is a thought, charger. A friend of mine baked his battery using an old Motorola car charger because the mini usb was the 'same' ultimately he screwed his battery / dash up by using the non htc charger. How do you charge yours?
[HTC Excalibur] jarroyo:
Hmmmmmm, could be!

I go from the USB charger to the plug in. I usually go for the USB and that just MIGHT be the common thread! I think that I will stick with sync ing my Dash on the USB BUT only sync, use the charger for the actual charging.

Thanks! That might be our missing element.
[HTC Excalibur] Bupahs:
Well keep us posted.
[HTC Excalibur] phuKKah:
"HELP! Dash Died, New one on the way, What should I do?"

Wait for the new one?
[HTC Excalibur] s1l3nt:
hard reset?
[HTC Excalibur] rilbel:
Are you closing programs and freeing memory when you stop using the apps and what not? I know of people who always have issues with phones and then you come to find out they treat them like crap and then wonder why its slow. Do you charge it every night or do you charge it every 2 weeks? Did you follow the flashing instructions by detail? I am sure that its something you are doing. I am not a noob but not even an expert and I had no issues with the Dash. :)

imate k jam sound stoped sudden (speakers & mic) but speakers work at incoming call (ring tone) only ... what's the solution for my problem..thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Monstaaaah:
Hey everybody.

I got some problems with a few games on my diamond.

The first game, I got problems with is DragonBall VGA, which can be found here.

At first, I install it. Then I start the game.. and it works flawless.

But if I try to start it a second time.. it doesn't display anything.. only the normal screen I have been to before.

The weird thing is.. I can hear the game running. I can hear the sound and I can navigate through the menu.

But I just can't see anything! Although I could play it the first time I installed!

WTF!?

I tried different version numbers etc. but I allways got the same problem. And a simple re-install doesn't help.. I have to hard reset my device to get it to work once!

Similar problems with: Nanobotz, Enslave and Resco xBall (doesn't even start once. Just gives me a weird error message, "not enough free memory")

I just want to know WHY!?

And is there any solution for this?

I'm using the very stable AZTOR rom.

Thanks for your help,

Monstaaaah
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Monstaaaah:
No recommendation? o_o

I really need help to play these great games..

Allready tried it. Doesn't change anything.

But thanks anyway.

Any other solutions?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tombrighteyes:
try this

try taking off TF3D and doing it that way, if still no, clear up more ram by reseting the phone and then run them, it probably will work now. if this doesn't help. then i am clueless.

hope it works :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] uniqueboy:
If it is a lack of memory issue (which I had on xtrakt) then you can gain quite a few megs by disabling the htc dialpad with advanced config and as stated above also disabling tf3d, settings/today/items.
[G1 Android Development] Paul22000:
In the rooting sticky it says:

I do this and nothing happens. I press enter twice, press t, and contacts show up. I finish typing telnetd, and after pressing enter it just shows my contacts list.

Then nothing happens after that?

[G1 Android Development] Paul22000:
Ok now I'm trying to get my phone upgraded to RC33. I downloaded the first link:

http://jf.odiness.com/v1.41/JFv1.41_ADP1.1_BuildEnvironment.tar.gz

I renamed it to update.zip, put in on my SD card and reboot into recovery.

When I try to update, it says:

Hmm. So looking at the other links...

The second link actually has two files.

And the third has THREE. Huh?

Which file(s) are actually needed, and which one of the three should be renamed "update.zip"?
[G1 Android Development] tubaking182:
you downloaded the build environment here is RC33 http://jf.odiness.com/v1.42/JFv1.42_RC33.zip just click the link. if you flashed HardSPL then just download this and rename it on the root of your SD card. and for future reference we are all tired of seeing new threads about people having trouble rooting their phone so do us all a favor. brick you phone and get a different one, or learn to follow the rules and post in a PREEXISTING thread no one needs to see that the n00bs are taking over with their spam about how they had trouble doing this or that cause they can't follow directions.
[G1 Android Development] Paul22000:
See, this is the problem. I *DID* follow the directions, to a T. :)

Notice in the sticky there is absolutely

ZERO

information about the file you linked, the build environment, or the radio update.

Once I figure this out, I'll see if I can write up some corrections for the sticky post.

I appreciate the help though.

[Edit]: The third link also has 1.41 stuff, while the second has 1.42.
[G1 Android Development] tubaking182:
there is nothing wrong with the sticky post, you obviously didn't read the entire thing because i have seen nearly 100 people do it properly by following the steps from the stcky. you should have known something was up when the download you got was named build environment
[G1 Android Development] Paul22000:
Huh? The post clearly tells you to download the build environment:

It also doesn't say you should update your radio, which is required.
[G1 Android Development] bosewicht:
yes, and it works!!! again, maybe a rooted phone is a bad idea for you
[G1 Android Development] tubaking182:
here

download my root.txt attached here and rename it to root.bat. then all you need to do is copy and paste the adb.exe from wherever you currently have it and place it in your system32 folder on your c:\ drive. and also the adb driver. then just run the .bat file and you're done
[G1 Android Development] Paul22000:
Nah. I just know that the messages above are the best way to actually get a response on online forums.

Here are the correct instructions for updating to RC33 in case anyone else is attempting to do this:

-----

Ignore the first link for the build environment.

First, download and install the radio update:

http://andblogs.net/2009/02/new-rc33-based-images-from-jesusfreke/

Download the file "RC33radio_update.zip". http://andblogs.net/downloads/RC33radio_update.zip

Rename it to update.zip.

Copy it to your phone's SD card.

Turn your phone off.

Start up in recovery mode by holding Home and pressing Power.

Press ALT + L to show the menu.

Press alt-W to wipe your device. (You need to do this, or the device may hang at the flashing Android screen)

Press alt-S to apply the update.

After the update is complete, hold Home and press Back to restart. Boot all the way into the home screen.

Then download and install the RC33 update (not the build environment):

http://jf.odiness.com/v1.42/

Download the file "JFv1.42_RC33.zip". http://jf.odiness.com/v1.42/JFv1.42_RC33.zip

Rename it to update.zip.

Copy it to your phone's SD card.

Turn your phone off.

Start up in recovery mode by holding Home and pressing Power.

Press ALT + L to show the menu.[/b]

Press alt-W to wipe your device. (You need to do this, or the device may hang at the flashing Android screen)

Press alt-S to apply the update.

After the update is complete, hold Home and press Back to restart. Boot all the way into the home screen.
[G1 Android Development] Paul22000:
I don't have an adb file, lol.
[G1 Android Development] Paul22000:
And would you look at that, someone else having the exact same problems as me :)
