I have been using MediaCoder from the beginning. It's free and versatile. With Apple iPhone/iPod device profile, slightly tweak would be perfect for my HTC Touch Pro to play encoded x.264 movie with WMP.

Maybe it is good for advanced users, because it has "too many" options.

Since 2-3 days, during call, I hear nothing by front (phone) speaker.

I must use the loud speaker...

I make a hard reset and nothing new.

Is there a register key (witch resist to Hard reset) to verify ?

i experienced this with the HTC Touch. you will have to take it to the service center. it only takes them 30mins max to fix it.

have you tried searching the forum?

i know there is at least one out, but i will not direct you to it. I think you should search the forum and find it. you will see that it is much quicker and easier than starting a new thread.

i apologize for being such a **** to you... but someone had to tell you this.

edit:

never mind.. i took too long to type post that is non offending and still get the point across. Jojordy already helped you out.

Hi,

I'want to write a small software for Blackstone and i think to write it in Java. For this software i want to use g-sensor, but i can't find anything about it (example...etc). Is possible to use g-sensor in java on Htc Blackstone?

Thanks a lot

Bye bye

i know theres already a thread about this, but after reading the entire thread, im still confused, and i dun wanna risk my G1 until i get everything clear.

so in order to flash from US Rom to UK Rom,

do i need to downgrade to RC29 then flash RC9, or i can directly flash RC9 onto RC33? (my G1 is already rooted)

Thanks a million
[G1 Android Development] rob61280:
Your fine to go from RC33 to RC9, just do a wipe first:-

Sync all data on your phone and backup apps (use astro)

Turn off phone

Hold down home + power to start phone

When the phone has booted into recovery mode

press ctrl + w

let the phone wipe itself

press home + back to reboot

flash phone with RC8

Does anyone have an issue with their bluetooth when it's connected with the screen off, when you try to turn the screen on, you lose the bluetooth connection?

Does anyone know if there is a way to keep the bluetooth connection going and being able to turn your screen on?

[UPDATE 1]

bobsbbq is kind enought to share his work:

HTC_HD_ROM_Benchmarks_3_2009.zip

this is a cool and tech-savvy sheet full of ... (come on, download it and have a look :-) )
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
A good start and I had the same idea but the problem is Forum rules state post with subjective material is a violation. By you stating folders are ugly to you it may not be to another person, therefore it is subjective.

Another suggestion is on the soft key menus state whether it is in only manila or system wide large menus.

I wish you luck in the thread remaining open.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] resettarget:
Thanks for reminding. Sorry for my words. I've updated the spreadsheet.

And, if it states HTC large menu, it's all system wide.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] daniel.hunt:
It would be a disaster if this thread were to be closed - this is vital information for people new around here.

The only downside to things like this is that it is of course subjective, but that really isn't enough, in this case, to warrant closing the thread. This is a topic that I think about *every* time I see another release of a ROM, and frankly, I'm bloody sick of hard resetting my device just so I can try out the latest and greatest from people (currently poking around with the two 6.5 roms from Miri and Davideuch)

I really hope this thread stays open, and that the spreadsheet improves over time
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] qpasatio:
In my opinion, there is a lot of non subjective information here.

Figures about speed would be really interesting, if this is somehow measurable.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Funny I was actually talking to bobsbbq last week about doing a thread similar to this with comparisons between roms I have tested including performance outputs etc

You beat me to it. If I can help in anything let me know
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DRTigerlilly:
Just a note Dutty's icons are not customized, those are new HTC icons in the Start Menu. Dutty's roms are always the closest roms to Classic/ Stock Roms i've found.

Also Opera is included in Dutty's v2.6, Manila is not classic its the newest HTC build v2 (unless i don't understand what you mean by classic)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zilviukas:
good comparison! well done.

there is one more feature i personaly find useful, is the facebook link. If "My Contact card" and contacts are linked with facebook. I am not sure if this feature is completely independent or if it is always in, when push internet is integrated.

I am sure that facebook link works in Dutty ROM, but is no integrated in Energy ROM.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
I agree... measurable specs would be more interesting... I know that Dutty for example publishes a lot of measurements of his ROMs on his site...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rickytr23:
nice work

I like the spread sheet I was thinking about doing that, great job man:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] wssa01:
3g compatable

Thanks for the comparisions - great job. Another important inclusion in your charts could be whether the rom supports 3g.

I have installed several cooked roms from different people and have noticed that some do not support the 850 band I require for 3g coverage.

The latest roms I installed were Davidueks V4 and Duttys 2.6. Both very good roms and each has it advantages / disadvantages but I have stayed with Dutty as V4 does not enable the 3g which I require.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] luckyluke1137:
thanks for the spreadsheet.. might also be good to add in whether it is a GSM or 3G ROM as the Energy rom is gsm. cheers man!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vil:
go ahead

nice to have this kind of comparison. spare some extra flashing. would be nice to extend with more technical details like size of rom after flashing or figures of benchmarks etc. thanks for your great starting idea. i'm back to see your spreadsheet. i hope it will be migrated to stickyes soon when more people think it valuable. :)

Can't just say that, otherwise pointless post. What other information would you like?...... and maybe we can add this to spreadsheets
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] naqvi514:
well something like

memory/storage consumtions etc.

and whether the rom is based on new or old manila, as it makes lot of difference when it comes to compare the features.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
Nobody is going to stop you from adding those infos... ;)

I will check the cab and I will see what is the wrong.

After installing the place of the icons is white
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alesscam:
I followed your advice

but nothing

do not see the ...

you enclosed a screen

there must be something that goes in the conflict,

but I do not understand what!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nanoo-eg:
This problem with white windows I have see before and has to make with the size of the icons. But I opened the cab and the icons size it was ok.

I didn't check the manila files but I think cerato didn't made something wrong.

We have to let him to find the solution. His work its perfect.

I would like to put his icons in my list.

I can stay more than 2-3 days with the same theme and Icons:D so I need more.

@Cerato, If you want to make my SQ transparent analog clock to look better, make it in photoshop 3 times copy-paste one over the other.

After that the poor:o graphics look match better.

I like also the original BBExtreme 5.0 icons. Maybe tomorrow I made them a Cab for HD.

Also Giannis86 will make his themes availably for Blackstone. So we will have more themes:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cerato:
Thanks my friend. :) Thanks for your wonderful work as well. I've updated first post with your name. Silly me, forgot to mention you
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cerato:
Sorry to hear that, but the icons work on other roms with new manila (panosha, Leo, NRG, Dutty). Just have no idea what could cause this.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cerato:
If you don't like the banner of Internet tab change it with cab attached below. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alesscam:
Think they can go in conflict with the mun_rus 4allbackround?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] showaco:
Thats could be due to your manila not being cfc compressed, but I find it hard to believe that someone would still be making rom without using cfc compression.

[Windows Mobile Themes] RR33:
Hi,

Here is my last skins Pack :

- 19 beautiful skins for PocketCM Keyboard 0.14 (don't work with PCMK v0.15 and above)

- 13 layouts (AZERTY, QWERTY, QWERTZ, ABC...) available in 2 formats (ANSI/UNICODE) for better fonts compatibility

- compatible QVGA (320x240), WQVGA (400x240), VGA (640x480) and WVGA (800x480)

- 9 dictionaries (English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish & Swedish)

- 2-in-1 : classic Keyboard + Enhanced PhonePAD

- Portrait + Landscape Modes (except for OMNIA : portrait only)

- 2 sizes : Small & BIG

- popup shortcuts (hold any key 1 second) : punctations on space, accentuation & CAPITALS on each letter, cut-copy-paste on enter, internet key, smileys key, Greek letters option (UNICODE only) and many others...

install the cab of your device's screen resolution :

- (W)QVGA for QVGA (320x240) or WQVGA (400x240) (Polaris, Omnia...)

- (W)VGA for VGA (640x480) or WVGA (800x480) (Diamond, Blackstone...)

INSTALLATION GUIDE :

1- download PCM Keyboard v0.14 + my Skins Pack + ERVIUS SIP Selector v3

2- install CABs : PCM Keyboard 0.14, Skins Pack of your screen resolution and SIP Selector

3- IMPORTANT: deactivate "T9" in order to avoid htc compact keyboard bugs (not necessary if you never use htc compact keyboard).

By example for Diamond/HD : download Diamond/HD Tweak, launch Diamond/HD Tweak and go to SIP configuration then choose "deactivate" T9, press ok and soft reset.

4- launch an application which requires the keyboard (note or Opera by ex), by default it is the stock keyboard that shows on, so press on the small arrow of keyboard selection (at the bottom) and choose “other input methods" then “PCM Keyboard”. At this time there is a messed up keyboard which appears (if you are no QVGA) but it is normal because PCMK is not configured yet so do not worry and quit.

5- go to Start>Settings>Keyboard and there “PCM keyboard” should be selected then click on “options” (if it refuses by prompting that it is not your default SIP keyboard then redo stage 4) and configure it like that :

- dictionary of your choice with "v11" tag

- a layout with "v11" tag

- a skin of your choice with "v11" tag.

6- In order to make PCM Keyboard as your default keyboard at windows startup : launch SIP Selector and choose “PCM Keyboard” from the list then press “ok”.

*** How to make your own layout ***

PCMK14 layout is very easy to edit : you can go on your Diamond into \program files\PCMKeyboard\ directory and search for your favorite layout (by example "QWERTY EN-US (ANSI) v11.layout") then drag & drop this file to your PC. Then open it with windows notepad and you should see lines like these :

keyboard_layout_1=\Xqwertyuiop\H\n\Casdfghjkl'\F\n\P\4zxcvbnm.[1^^]\T\n\2\2\M\M \N\N\B\B
keyboard_layout_2=\XQWERTYUIOP\H\n\CASDFGHJKL'\F\n\P\4ZXCVBNM.[1^^]\T\n\1\1\M\M \N\N\B\B
keyboard_layout_3=\X[31][32][33]€\H\n\C[34][35][36][1']\F\n\P[37][38][39][1^^]\T\n[20]\M\M \N\N\B\B
keyboard_layout_4=[2.com][2.fr][2.net][2.org][2.gov]\n[3@gmail.com][3@hotmail.com][3@yahoo.com]\n[3http://][3http://www.][3https://www.]\n\M\M[2www.][2wap.][2@]
symbol_pad=\M,()/[1\]<>\[]{}
symbol_pad=\4,[2@gmail][2@][2http://][2www.][2.com]
symbol_pad=^^,[1;)][1:O][1XD][1:P][1:@][1:'(][1:S][1:*][1 <3][1><]
symbol_pad= ,&-_?.,!:;[1...]
symbol_pad=',+±÷=|#°^~"
symbol_pad=€,[2¥][2£][2$]
symbol_pad=\N,\E\E\T\T\X\X\C\C\P\P
symbol_pad=a,AÆæ[2are][2about][2always]
symbol_pad=A,aæÆ
symbol_pad=b,[3because][2but]B[2been][2before]

keyboard_layout_1 is the first keyboard

keyboard_layout_2 is the keyboard when shift is selected/pressed

keyboard_layout_3 is the PhonePAD

keyboard_layout_4 is the internet page with some address shortcuts

So if you want a "Z" instead of "Q" : erase "Q" and type "Z"

If you want ".us" instead of ".fr" then erase ".fr" and type ".us"

Now the popup menu :

symbol_pad=b,[3because][2but]B[2been][2before]

If you want the word "beautiful" instead of "because" when you hold "b" : erase "because" and type "beautiful"

The number before "because" indicates to PCMK14 the key width : in that case the key is 3 boxes of width. For "but" the key is smaller with only 2 boxes. A line is composed by 10 Boxes that you distribute as you want. For the "b" popup line you can count : 3+2+1+2+2=10

As you can see it's very easy to make your own layout ^^

If you prefer this smiley ":-)" to this "^^" then just replace "^^" by ":-)"

After editing your layout, save it and copy it to \Program files\PCMKeyboard and do a soft reset. Now you'll have your own layout that nobody has ^^

Great looking skins but I'm having trouble getting it to work.

I have a QVGA device (HTC Vogue) and none of the skins will work even after following detailed instructions you provided.

I even removed other skins, reset the device after every selection but still not working.

Hopefully ... it's something simple.
[Windows Mobile Themes] guletz:
Looks great on the screenshots.

QVGA doesn't work... :/
[Windows Mobile Themes] RR33:
Hi,

I found a bug into ini files in each (W)QVGA skin, it's fixed in the last v8.3 : retry, it should be ok now (I hope so...) and let me know please.

[Windows Mobile Themes] eiskrap:
These are all working great on my QVGA now!!! Look great as well, and I love the layout. Thanks a lot for getting these working.
[Windows Mobile Themes] RR33:
WOW !

THANKS, it was a hard work to configure layouts and skins as well !

Just a last request : I have posted all the VGA screenshots, so could you make a few QVGA screenshots (not all of course) to show that it works in QVGA for the other members please ?

And once again thanks Eiskrap !

:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] gruvngyrl:
I downloaded the QVGA skin pack, and it seems to be working, however, the period and earth keys aren't there unless I hit the 123 button. Was this by design in order to make it fit the QVGA screen, or am I missing something?

Other than that, great functionality!
[Windows Mobile Themes] RR33:
Hi,

it's because you did not follow my install instructions : in PCMK Configuration page you must choose between "AZERTY", "QWERTY", "QWERTZ", "ABC" layouts and NOTHING ELSE !

So I imagine that you chose "English" layout and that's why you did not have the blue globe, the period and extra shortcuts.

Let me know if you manage to make it work
[Windows Mobile Themes] Manamana25:
Hi,

you say it will only work with version 0.14......what will happen if someone tries the 0.23 ??...

I think there are some improvements since 0.14.....will you adapt your skins to this version?....

no I won't make skin for 0.2x till a more stable version come up.

But, I know that JIM256 made good ones

(W)QVGA v9 is released :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] khaciak:
is this skin support omnia too?

because when i'm tried this, the keyboard so weird...

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] RR33:
Yes my skins pack works on Omnia : you must install (W)QVGA cab and follow exactly my install instructions. The point for you is to search for a cab to deactivate t9.

tell me if it works (it should) and if not send me screenshots please in order to help you,

regards

[Windows Mobile Themes] jodeltje:
followed your instructions, but it just doesn't show up in my PCM settings where you can select a skin and layout :(

dunno what to do now?
[Windows Mobile Themes] RR33:
Hi,

You must choose layout & skin with "V9.1" tags.

Could you tell me the model of your device ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] RR33:
A few screenshots could also give me clues to help you...

I also must repeat that my skins pack works on PocketCM keyboard 0.14 only.

If you installed PCMK 0.2x then my skins & layouts won't appear into options menu.

:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] jodeltje:
ah thanks :)

uhmm, htc diamond (gsm) stock ROM 2.03

I installed 0.14 to main memory

installed your skin cab (install didn't ask where to install) (wvga one)

disabled t9 using diamond tweak

went into the menu where you can select layout and skins... nothing there...

installed a few times, went trough everything step by step... still nothing.
[Windows Mobile Themes] RR33:
that's weird ...

So verify where PCMK is installed : internal mem or 4Gb internal storage.
