Sorry, just to ask.

The apple moving animation is not present, is it normal?

Can this be uninstallable?

After uninstalling, will I get back my Windows Mobile Splash?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mylostblog:
There is no animation because it's a png and not a gif... :p

Yes, it's uninstallable and yes, you will get back the standard Windows Mobile Splash.. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeremy89632:
Sure, keep me updated about the black versions of the apple boot screens.

Thanks!

PS: I love your stopwatch too, the animations is so damn nice! And its so finger friendly.

Keep up all your good jobs and I will hear from you soon!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mylostblog:
Black version is almost ready.. i need to test on same device.. maybe tomorrow will be online..

:) thanks for stopwatch.. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] berardi:
if you are an apple fan why not an iphone? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larbke666:
I'm an apple fan too.. It's just the fact that the HTC series is the best Mobile Phone series in the world. IPhone can't top these.

Another fact is that there is much more stuff for Windows Mobile than for the IPhone..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeremy89632:
When we buy the iphone, we dont actually own it.

apple owns it because they control whatever apps thru the app store.

They set the price, they set the hardware, they do everything with it, consumers like you and me have no control over it.

but windows mobile is just an operating system which is widely used and it has gained people's reliability and trust by Microsoft corps.

(all speech here is in my own opinion )
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] berardi:
I agree, which is why I hate Apple :)

"Controlling the whole device is great, (but) we're talking about 4 billion handsets. When you control the whole device the ability to innovate rapidly is pretty limited when it's coming from a single vendor. " -Andy Rubin

Apple makes one big leap to get attention and then locks you down. No innovation besides their own is allowed. This is bad bad bad - those who are worried about MS should look at Apple's monopoly

Sorry! Sorry! I won't thread jack anymore :)

For some reason the mods decided to call that other thread a dupe. I believe these are two different developers. This app is an amazing port of the GP2X (from wiki) "open-source, Linux-based handheld video game console and media player created by GamePark Holdings of South Korea."

It has an active community supporting it because it's open, and it runs all the emulators you need. And because it's linux-based, it's not too difficult to make it work for android! :)
[G1 Apps and Games] dweller88:
this app looks incredible,

now if only the g1 had better up down left right buttons...

[G1 Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
I pm'd the mod that closed that thread, he was unaware that it was by a different group and was responding to the thread being reported. He said for me to let him know if I want the thread re-opened or to start my own thread, but I guess we should just keep the discussion here?
[G1 Apps and Games] LatinSilEighty:
not just two developers but also two different emulators this one being extremely amazing. i cant wait for this to come out. i most def think this will be an even bigger reason to not give a damn that iphones have cooler looking games compared to the ones the G1 has to offer as of now.

only thing is that it being an emulator it cant become too mainstream without it becoming a copyright nightmare. so if it does come out as a licensed app all those companies, capcom, neogeo, nintendo ect..... will have to get a cut and its most likely not gonna be a free app.

but if i were the dev, im not sure if i would want everyone(the public aka people that only see ghey ass iphone commercials) to know that the G1 capable of handling badass games. or just kinda keep the emulator underground.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallie-s:
Hi all,

I'm searching for the most ideal situating to play the music from my phone in my car.

My new idea was to use a car hifi system that has a USB port, the advantage of this is that I only have to connect 1 cable.

And when that's done, it automatically charges..

And I hope that the car player has good control for exporing the files on my SD card..

My question is, before ordering one, does it work good? Does someone have bad experience's with this?

Working slow, bad control of your audio files? Tips suggestions?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudegar:
I had a car radio which had sd and usb input

if the device is set to usb storage mode then it should act

as a usbStick would and the radio would have

access to anything on the sdcard

it worked ok for me with normal sdcards but it was stolen before

i tried using it with my phone
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonus:
The optimal setup is a bluetooth A2dp one, so that you never even need to take the phone out of your pocket. Use MS Voice Command, and you can even seek your tracks by voice.

As for USB, it won't work, unless you have a custom ROM with the HTC Mass Storage option.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudegar:
are you sure mine comes with the option to work as mass storage under usb to pc in settings

but of cause haven't tried it with a car radio but it sure works as a usbstick in computers
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallie-s:
First off al, in the standard roms, there is a option under connections, where you can switch from activesync to mass storage..

Bluethooth audio will be not as good as the original output of the phone, and, my most important thing, it won't charge..

But, i just orderd a very cheap radio with usb and a aux input..

( elta 7527 )

Will let you guys know when it's installed..
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mn3kgtvr4:
Yes, Xperia comes with Mass Storage option and many cabs available if your ROM doesn't have it.

I got a head unit with USB and as long as set as mass storage it's just like an SD card. For simplicity's sake after a while I got tired of hooking my phone up to the radio and just bought a 32gb usb stick for cheap at Office Max.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonus:
Wow, I guess I learned something new, I just figured the Mass Storage option wasn't there, as it doesn't pop up like in the Touch Flo 3D ROMS.

As far as Stereo BT audio quality. You are right, but you'd be hard pressed to be able to discern ANY difference in quality in a car, and I'd call it impossible to discern while actually driving.

I used the search function but I can't seem to find an proper application to watch xvid/divx files on my D2.

I tried TCPMP but it just crashed. I don't want to pay for the program because I don't think that's worth it.

So I want to ask, what is the best sollution to play divx/xvid on my D2 without paying?

Thanks in advance,

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Axim51v:
Try Coreplayer. Should play these files.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete_S:
I noticed this the other day, but I haven't tried it myself http://www.freewareppc.com/multimedia/divxmobileplayer.shtml. I'm not sure it would play xvid though.

I had the same problem with TCPMP after many years of using it on other machines. I purchased Coreplayer and haven't looked back. And, I very rarely purchase apps!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WVeugelers:
Yeah, i am trying divx mobile player as we speak, but Core player isn't a option because i just don't want to pay. (think it is way to expensive :))

Or someone could help me with coreplayer without paying :o

Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming:p
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WVeugelers:
Ok so i got it installed, it works with a few flaws like taskbar items showing up and such.

BUT 1 file did play good for a few minutes then the audio got out of sync. So i tried another but that just lasted 10 seconds before it began stuttering + out of sync audio.

So i still need a decent player :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WVeugelers:
Well, i have Coreplayer now, decided to buy it.

Thanks for the help
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete_S:
I know how you feel about paying. It is quite expensive. Coreplayer is just about the only program I'd pay money for because it's so functional. And I figured all that free use of TCPMP over the years is a bonus..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corrupto:
Good decision!!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eurorpeen:
Coreplayer

Coreplayer is the best and it's worth paying for it
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meddleuk:
Hope someone can offer me some advice. Video playback is very high on my priorities. I currently have an Omnia which is pretty flawless playing back DIVX or XVID encoded files. I am not interested in playing back High Def content, only xvid/divx avi files that I download such as TV and DVD Rips.

How good is the Diamond 2 with Coreplayer, I am pretty worried from all that I read about HTC/Qualcomm drivers not working properly and this is a deal breaker for me. I don't know if the Touch Pro 2 is the same, I know it has the same processor.

I have been out of contract for a couple of months and was waiting to get an Iphone but I will have to encode all my xvid files in order for them to play, at least until Coreplayer for Iphone is released. I was happy with my Omnia but I seem to have endless problems with getting programs working as they should and of course there is no official support on this site.

If video playback is ok for these type of files I may go for either the Diamond 2/Touch Pro 2 or Touch HD as they all seem to be a similiar spec.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loadstone007:
Hi all,

I bought the Touch Diamond2, and have noticed this really annoying problem.

I have a list of contacts (that their names were modified in Outlook 2007, and then transferred to my phone), that whenever they call I can see their number but not the name associated to them (above the number it displays: "(unknown number)"). If I choose to add the number to their name (which is already there - it just asks me to update it), then their name appears if they call. After I add it, it seems like the same exact number - no change at all.

Another thing is, if I enter a number manually that is already stored in my contacts, it doesn't show the name of this contact. If I select the number from my contact page, it does show the name and picture as it should.

Am I the only one experiencing this? Is there a setting in the device i'm missing?

Please help,

Thanks

Void sticker does not matter if you have no warranty. I really suggest you get a torx driver because you'll struggle without one and damage the screws. They are pretty easy to find and easily available on the net.

.... and another little thing. When increasing the depth of those indents - GO EASY the metal is not that hard and you can over do it and make it very difficult to open and close. Gentle taps with a small hammer and a small flat blade screwdriver will do the trick. Between taps you can test the sliding part by using your finger nails. Test before you start tapping and after. You need to get to the stage where it gets really quite difficult to slide the small metal block in the slider over the indents with just your finger tips. (Play a little safe though. Better to have to disassemble a second time than to overdo it. Making the embossed indents deeper is one thing - making them shallower would be very difficult indeed!

Mike

haha.. thanks for the advice again.. yeah.. from the pics.. the indents looks so tiny.. hope i'll be good at it.. definitely.. shallowing them is very tough..

I'd like to keep my data private (in case anyone finds the phone). has anyone got truecrypt to compile for the G1 ?
[G1 General] jashsu:
There's a lot more to making a program work in a given environment than just compiling it for the target processor...

If what you wanted to do was akin to running TC's system volume encryption, significant hacking and writing of new code would have to occur, not to mention hacking of the Android boot process.

It would probably be easier to just write a new program from scratch.
[G1 General] ido:
are there any other options for having an encrypted volume ?
[G1 General] chrisharang:
Are you talking about having the whole partition encrypted, or just having an encrypted volume on the SD card with some data in it?

After setting up a debian partition on my card (a la this), the native "cryptsetup" mechanism in conjunction with a loop-mounted image works fine. Here's what I did from the debian bash shell:

Install cryptsetup from the debian repo:

apt-get install cryptsetup

Create an empty image (this is for 1 GB):

dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/file.img bs=1 seek=1G count=1

Mount the image on a loop device:

losetup -f

(returns the next available loop device - probably /dev/loop2)

losetup /dev/loop2 /sdcard/file.img

Create an encrypted abstraction over the block device, using AES and a passphrase ('encvol' is just a name that can be anything):

cryptsetup -y create encvol /dev/loop2

(enter passphrase to use for this volume when prompted. the '-y' option prompts twice for verification)

Create an ext2 filesystem on the encrypted device:

mkfs.ext2 /dev/mapper/encvol

Mount the encrypted volume:

mount /dev/mapper/encvol /sdcard/mnt (or wherever)

I might have had to install losetup separately from the repo as well, I don't remember.

To mount it again later and use, after rebooting or manually unmounting, you need to do the losetup, cryptsetup (don't need the '-y' option anymore), and then mount the /dev/mapper/encvol device.

- Chris
[G1 General] ido:
I don't want to encrypt the whole drive, a bit afraid to do so, since I think there are things the G1 does on the sd card that wouldn't handle it well (like mounting/unmounting when sharing the usb drive, etc)

have you tested this ?
[G1 General] chrisharang:
As I said, the steps I listed above are what I did, and yes, they work for me. Obviously, you'd want to take precautions before doing anything funky involving data that is valuable to you, as always, but I can say that the general scenario of reading and writing to a loop device, backed by an image file on my FAT32 SD card partition, through a cryptsetup indirection using AES (defaults), worked for me in a Debian shell on the G1 no differently than as if running on Ubuntu, for example.
[Touch HD General] Siygess:
Damn it. Called to give my 30 days notice yesterday and when they asked what phone I'd want to stay, I naturally said a Touch HD (since I was going to get one from elsewhere anyway). £15 per month and £15 for the phone?

Called Orange back and they tell me that as of today they no longer offer the Touch HD - it has been discontinued and will be removed from the online store shortly. Crap :mad:
