ur gene should be charged minimum 60% when u flash any rom.i tried the same rom before too.i did not face a gprs problem and got connected to airtel gprs successfully.the gprs problem has nothing to do with the rom(when ur device hanged.).do check ur battery status while upgrading.

Yes definitely, whenever you have something in mind, PM me. Things would go only better with more and more people collaborating here :) Look at PPCGeeks, how so many chefs are working together in one thread and enjoying the development process of WM 6.5 :)
[P3400 ROM Development] jyot:
THANX A LOT BUDDY....u made me happy.. :)
[P3400 ROM Development] ankit360:
hi jyot i see your screen shot i love it, but u made big mistake , u don't compress nbh so i cant download whole 80mb file because my bandwidth problem :(

also i need your help

i need to know how u create text + email icon on start menu i also need to know how you change default font of Chome or Titanium ?
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Let me answer your question on behalf of jyot. To create seprate text and email icon instead of one Messaging icon (which, by the way, looks ugly and oversized on WM 6.5 start menu) use these lines in your initflashfiles.dat in OEM_Lang_0409 :

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("\x0045\x002D\x006D\x0061\x0069\x006C\x002E\x006C\x006E\x006B","\Windows\tmailpicker.lnk")

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("\x0054\x0065\x0078\x0074\x002E\x006C\x006E\x006B","\Windows\tmailsms.lnk")

instead of

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("Messaging.lnk","\Windows\Messaging.lnk")

I hope this will help. :)

[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Gene was not much known there on PPCGeeks until I, Ankit, Besfen and other didn't joined and actively participated. Now people are aware of this phone. But since Gene is not available now in many places, its unlikely that we see a dedicated section or ROMs for gene on PPCGeeks.

I mostly visit the WM 6.5 kitchen thread there, nothing else. There, as the new builds come out, they are actively shared and discussed upon. So that helps when building a ROM. ROM cooking is not much of a headache since i started using the platform rebuilder based kitchen. Now all i do is try to find and remove bugs that are present for long time in my ROMs thereby standardizing the OEM (pacakges) that i use.
[P3400 ROM Development] PREMOLIKES:
Gene to me is more of an Indian handset, looking at the people visiting here, My guess is that it is being sold more in India.

But this is a handset where genius chap like orefkov once used !
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
The new gene P3400i is sold only in India, as far as i know. The P3400 was sold internationally, but its been discontinued now.
[P3400 ROM Development] ankit360:
we can request admin of ppcgeek to creat new gene sub-forum.

but is that useful ?
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
I have already requested that when i joined there, but i dont see much purpose as for posting ROMs and all, this forum's gene section is sufficient. I haven't seen any gene users there other than those who are in this forum too, like Befen, you and me. :)
[P3400 ROM Development] BesFen:
It was sold in Indonesia until may 2009. But for this time, it's very difficult to find it as a brand new sale. last week i try to buy it at HTC counter for my friend, but they said GENE was discontinued sale in Indonesia, so my friend bought a second GENE for USD 170. He choose GENE to make it easy to upgrade the ROM, just come to me and everything is Done.

BTW krazy, can you share your kitchen please? I try modified Helgee & ervius kitchen, but still unsuccess....:confused::confused:

I want to cook 23004 with Platform rebuilder kitchen, I use old kitchen and I have some problem with my 23004:

1. the slide bar still old like WM 6.1, so i replce the "shell" with 23003 and it work fine.

2. Battery icon not work if i tap it.

3. I can't create new email, only the cursor turn and nothing happend, replace Redist_Lang_0409 with 23003 and it work fine.

Please share your kitchen.

Thanks.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Ok, when i will return to Delhi on Wednesday and upload my 23004 rom, i will also post the kitchen, SYS and XIP with it. I hope that will help.

hey guys plz help me out...am getting a 2nd hand ELFIn for 6k but fr it i need to sell my gene but i love gene toooooooo much(actually XDA made me love it more>i too sold my old gene last nite

only new gene left

plz help me to dcide
[P3400 ROM Development] karan999:
cool..go the Touch.its really cool.my plans are for an iphone 3g by this december.still i wont sell my gene.its awesome.as far as the TOUCH(elfin) is concerned,checkout the xda threads regarding the elfin rom upgrading,hope it makes u love the elfin more.:D:D:D

its up to u to decide.if at all u need wifi and u do alot of browsing,the touch is cool.plus 6K is WORTH IT !!! otherwise,if u take my example,im already using an 8gb card,with more than 2.5gb songs already plus i also have 4 movies right now(using divx format..awesome quality.).the only reason im telling u this,is that,even the GENE is a total entertainer for me.months back even i had an option for the TOUCH(i guess even "haree" our old gene member is using a TOUCH 3g version.).try to contact these people who are already using a touch.they may help u too.

if at all only the price(6K) and wifi is concerned,my suggestion is to go for the elfin.otherwise,its not that worth shifting from the GENE.plus (if at all im wrong do correct me) iv heard that our gene is quad band.that means u can use it abroad without any problems too.where as the touch is not.no radio even.So,thinks double,and make a gud choice.:):):)

@karan: Dont be confused between elf and elfin. Elf has 64 MB RAM and 128 MB ROM, Elfin has 128 MB RAM and 256 MB ROM. Elfin is much more capable (and expensive) then elf. What he is talking about is the Elf.

@Jyot: Its really upto you. Elf has same processor, ram and rom as gene. Just it has a new design, a new touch screen (which i also like) and Wifi. If you need these, go for it. Otherwise gene is a good phone too. Personally, i will buy an elf only if i can sell my gene for the same price for which i am getting the second hand elf. Investing anything in an second hand elf is not a good idea for me personally. But if its only upto rs 500 then its ok.

Hi

I've tried the radio and it works very well. I haven't used it enough on the move to know if it moves channels correctly.

Regards

Phil
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chch:
I just tried the radio for the first time because I read this thread. Very good reception. Confusing Stereo/Mono button (if it says Mono then it is in Stereo and if it says Stereo then it is on Mono) ... lucky HTC don't make traffic lights.

Actually reception and sound is very very good for a phone.

The crap thing about RDS is that is does not show in any of the radio station quick buttons or in any of the presets!!!

You may like station "XDA FM" but once saved it will appear as 104.67 and you will have to memorize 104.6 as well as your other 19 presets with 3 or 4 digit frequency codes. You can not even re-name stations from a number to something meaningful! In short the radio player is not as well set out as it could be.

If you delete a scanned station then the station slot remains blank. If this is one of the first 6 stations then a blank station shows on the screen and you can't replace it. This interface is a shocker.

I am just curious to see how many of you want android or windows mobile on thier phone. As your voting will help developers to speed up and contribute much faster.

If its not in the right place to be, just move mods.

Hey all

i would like to install some games on my pro II, but since im currently holding my pro II for the first day and i lack any knowledge on how to get this done i was wondering if some1 could give me a short walktrough. I have read so far that morphgear seems to offer the best emulators.

And then for the future:P, any1 thinks with the touchflo function some DS game might eventualy work on the pro II? like for example zelda for the DS?

thanks in advance

greetings

Alsa
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ChriX84:
Theoretically it could be possible. The TP2 has enough processing power. Correction, alot more.

But the main problem is, is that the DS games are designed to be playable with 2 screens. The touchscreen itself for your minimap, menu's, radar etc. The upper screen (non-touch) as actionscreen. Would be a huge problem to fuse that. Almost impossible.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Alsa86:
ah true, didnt think of that yet

so what would you suggest, which games would be the best on the pro II
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thedudelasse:
I highly doubt this will ever be possible... I rather play games on devices dedicated to gaming.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Blackbird-ce:
Now why would that pose a problem? If they can get it to work on a PC with a single NON-touchscreen... :-)

Screen resolutions of the DS are 256x192. Two screens would fit on the Pro2's screen without problem. Just make only the bottom portion of the screen respond to touchscreen-input and you've got your solution more or less. I think processing power would be more of a problem really.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ChriX84:
Didn't think about that. :D

True that the TP2 could emulate 2 screens on one. Thanks to the low resolution of the DS. So they could indeed fit in the screen of the TP2.

If you look at the 3D game Xtrakt. That originally is designed to show the power of the Xperia X1 (that works on the TP2 too). It uses more shaders and better texture filtering than the DS.

Klik here for the game Xtrakt.

(Might need a reboot after install)

As we all know that even the TP2 has a dedicated graphics-chip that can show better graphics (so I believe) than the DS. The other problem would indeed be the emulating of 2 screens in one. It's possible. But needs alot more power than the DS has.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Alsa86:
possibilities seem endless

so any of you guys running some nice games on your pro II? im looking for something that can kill the time during train/bus rides.

Alsa
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ChriX84:
Well Xtrakt, like I mentioned above.

Pocket Uno is a fun timekiller.

That's it what I have on mine atm. Still looking. I just got the TP2 for 3 days. Bit busy with tweaking and modding. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ahlung:
I regularly play games like risk, poker, civilization, monopoly, arvale, baseball.

All work great on the TP2. You can also try SNES and GBA emulators.

Oh and don't forget hdWobble.... it's not really a game, but still fun.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Alsa86:
alhung could you pm me the link you have deleted when u have edited?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
Which civilization?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] skyler17:
If you want a NES or Game boy color emulator... Smartgear works well.

I only have an Excalibur right now, but I'm pretty sure that it will work on the TP@
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ahlung:
Unfortunately its not the exact civilization as we know if from the PC, but it's called: Sid Meiers Civilization IV - War of Two Cities

The gameplay is basically: 2 opposing cities sending out different types of units towards the other city (only moment of deployment is controllable, they move on their own) and firing a canon. It has some unit upgrading options and the era changes as you advance, but don't expect too much depth in the game. All in all a simple game but good enough for killing some spare time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lw00d:
can someone please let me know where to get the game emulators for NES. SNES,,, GENESIS,,, TURBO GRAPHIX 16? for the TP2 ... a website with a how to ?? im new to this so i dont know how to install them..

thanx..:rolleyes:

I am looking for bluetooth headset for diamond 2 mainly for listening to music.

Any recommendation for this?

Samsung SBH-650 and Sony DS-205 are both under my consideration. Is the capatibility and sound quality good?

Thanks so much! :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] NeoGreendawg:
Hi,

I spent a long time searching for a decent pair of bluetooth headphones and I finally settled on the Sony DR-BT50. They're fairly comfortable, they have much better bass than most bluetooth headsets and the autonomy is unbeatable... I think that they're a good choice if you don't mind the size.

You'll want to use Advanced Config Tools to change the bitpool and sample rate settings on your phone but once you've done that you'll get quite a nice sound for wireless headphones.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] chiuuuuu:
Thanks so much NeoGreendawg.

Would you please kindly tell what to be changed about the bitpool?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] mrbister:
I use the DS205 and I like it. I'm impressed by the audio quality - both from the phone and the headset. Used it in two meetings today and talk time of 5h wasn't a problem for that headset.

-Jonas
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] NeoGreendawg:
These are my bluetooth settings for Advanced Config Tools :

Bitpool: Very high

Maximum bitpool: 128 (but I read somewhere that 80 is best)

Minimum bitpool : 65

Sample rate: 48000 Hz

I don't really know if those are the best settings but it sounds much better compared to default settings with my headphones.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] Pete_S:
I use the Sony HBH-DS200. It seems to be very similar to the DS205 except cheaper, possibly because it's an older model. I agree with mrbister, the audio quality is superb, I prefer it to the quality straight from the TD2 itself, and I'm fussy about audio quality.

The only niggle with the DS-200 (and probably the 205 too): the volume control is not user friendly. You have one button which you keep pressed and the volume ramps all the way down and up again. if you just want to raise it slightly this is a pain. You're better off adjusting it on the TD2.

You do need to set the TD2's bluetooth settings very high (Bitpool: very high, max 90, min 80). The TD2 heats up quite a bit when streaming (possibly because of these settings) and the battery goes down quickly, but the link is very reliable, and you can still do other things like surf at the same time. I also stream internet radio via bluetooth, but that really does heat the phone and shorten battery life. Still works fine though.

I can't praise the Sony 200 enough, i'm getting another as a spare.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] chiuuuuu:
Thanks so much mrbister, NeoGreendawg and Pete_S. :)

I think I will go to buy DS205 because of the superb sound quality! ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] mrbister:
I think the ds205 has another kind of volume button compared to ds200:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] jcan:
The bluetooth headset is a different thing from the bluetooth handsfree? I have a Tech handsfree (shown in the attached image), and it can be used just for the phone conversation, NOT the music.

Hence, I would like to know whether I do something wrong, or I have to use a different device for hearing music.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] Aisorik:
Is there any audio lag/sync issues when watching videos? I'd read that this is a common issue with bluetooth receivers.

EDIT: To the OP, if you don't mind pricy canalphones, consider the ety8: http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=reviews&id=993
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] Pete_S:
@ jcan: Your bluetooth handsfree needs to support "A2DP" profile as well as "headset" profile, then you will get both stereo audio and handsfree functionality. If it's only "headset", you won't get high quality stereo.

@ Aisorik: I haven't tested video with bluetooth, but as well as the possible lag/sync issue, you might find the TD2 "runs out of steam" trying to play video and, if you've tweaked the settings, high quality bluetooth at the same time.

@ mrbister: Thanks. Looks like I should have got the 205 instead!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] jcan:
Thx for the answer, Pete_S!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] NeoGreendawg:
Hi,

I tried a video with my BT headphones and the sound came through nicely as usual (no connection drops or background noise) but it was a fraction of a second late so, yes, it's slightly out of sync...

I haven't looked into it much yet but I seem to remember reading about a way to fix this with an option in Core player...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] Pete_S:
Was the video a tricky one (near to the capabilities of the TD2), and have you also pushed up your bluetooth quality settings? Guess I ought to try it myself as I have Coreplayer too.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] NeoGreendawg:
Yeah, my bluetooth settings have been tweaked (see previous page) but I don't think that's the cause... Like I said, I read somewhere that you can delay the video so it matches the sound but I still haven't looked for the settings myself... I rarely watch videos on my TD2 and never with my BT headset so it's not really an issue for me.
