Just a thought that came to me...

I was perusing some old posts about when the g1 came out. It seems funny to me that since the launch of the g1 and android, the people that loves the iphone (fanboys -- trying not to be flaming here - lol), How many comments about how this phone is going to die out soon and what not. I think back when the iphone came out and that was only just over 2 years ago, and the g1 is now only 3 months shy of its birthday, how many people bashed this phone.

I love this phone and most people at work would love to have one, but they aren't on t-mobile. They like what the capabilities of this phone will become and then some. I think that they were wrong to get rid of the keyboard, I like being able to type and the screen and not half hidden by a vk.

I think that the prices on the market are such that it will also bring people this this system (not just the phones). With what is coming out from the various manufactures that are makikng android phones, i think about the fact that there is only 2 phones available from the iphone....

I wonder how dead is this phone? If this OS came in a flip phone (because that is what my wife wants), then I will be more than happy to give her one. All in all, I will stick with android, not because i am a "fanboy", but because I believe in the magic of opensource and helping one another is what being human is about.

So, one last comment before I put my drunk ass to bed, dollars to doughnuts, this'll be around for awhile. I like both phones, they are basically the same under all the glitter. But, hey, everyone has a choice.

have a great 4th of july everyone, and if you are not from the USA, then I hope you have a great 4th of july also.
[G1 General] GenericNode:
The phone isn't dead, it's because T-Mobile doesn't really give a crap about their phones enough to actually market them. They also don't care about you, the consumer. Honestly, all they care about is their bottom line.

Look at any call center. Many call centers constantly run competitions for CSR's to win some widget. Sell x amount of this brand of phone and win a prize.

Know what that means? When a consumer calls in wanting a Blackberry (or whatever), the CSR is going to do whatever they can to convince you to buy phone brand x because they want to win the widget, not because they give a damn about what phone would best suite you.

Tmobile actively encourages this kind of crap and they should be ashamed.
[G1 General] CBowley:
Very true. Back in Jan someone I know went to tmo asking about the g1. The rep told him it sucks buy a blackberry, (the flip one.. pearl maybe? I dunno). That was the craziest thing I have ever heard. Bb > android? Is this guy high?.. lol needless to say he has since returned and purchased the g1 after talking to me. I just thought this to be insane.
[General Questions and Answers] NorskeDivision:
Disclaimer: I don't want a flame war.

There are so many glaring common sense issues with Windows Mobile. For example:

The fact that an application like nueDynamicClock exists and drastically increases batter life. This functionality should be built in Winmobile in every stock ROM.

Lack of default Winmobile alt-tab. HTC adds this, but shouldn't such a basic functionality be native to the OS?

Mediaplayer on WinMobile, lacks codecs, lacks an interface which makes it easy to casually use a WinMobile phone as a MP3 player (a la iPhone)

Lack of a basic slide lock functionality (which doesn't require a pincode)

Scrollbars, really? WM6.5 finally brings more whole screen scrolling, but that took awhile

I've thought of many other things besides this over the months, but that should be enough to demonstrate my point

Let me be clear. I am not saying WinMobile should become a clone of the iPhone. The range of devices which run WinMobile impresses. The open platform status (not bound to an app store) is a further big advantage. It has many more advantages. However the above shortcommings I mentioned seem so glaring to me. What about the Windows Mobile development team/process allows such problems to persist across multiple versions?

Is it in fact the OEMs that are responsible for these issues? Certainlly, they play a huge role in memory bloat in stock ROMs. Are they also responsible for the slow adoption of more user friendly changes to WinMobile? Is the Windows Mobile development team some kind of committee which started with a Microsoft directive to make a small screen version of Windows. Perhaps they just don't have a single person who will push for the changes which would make WinMobile much more user friendly?

Again, I'm not asking for a radical overhaul of Windows Mobile internals or architecture. Customizations which address all of the above mentioned problems are in fact standard fare, on both stock ROMs and popular cab files here at XDA-developers.

Opinions, ideas, disagreements? Alternatively, if you want to tell me why I'm totally wrong and flame me to a crisp, that's fine as well. :)

PS. I looked around for a thread which addressed this topic, but didn't find any. I found some close matches but nothing which really addressed this Q.
[General Questions and Answers] Mr Anderson:
I cannot help but agree with you. The size and success of XDA-Devs is itself a testament to the inadequacies of Windows Mobile.

Furthermore, the time between OS releases is quite staggering. If Microsoft wants to take/maintain the lead (depending on your perspective) in OS design then they really should be more proactive in providing maintenance releases and bugfixes for their software.

The drive in OS design is towards useability and deskilling so anyone can use a device. To use even the basic functions of WM requires a skill level many people simply don't have.

Profile management is another conspicuous absentee.

Okay, i'm gonna ask a supposedly dumb question cause i'm unable to get answers here or through google.

simple question: how do i change the themes in MS 3? i have downloaded some cool themes that have 2 folders called "Reg Changes" with a .reg file, and "theme" with some .dat files.....

a step by step would be highly appreciated....

thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] glyndal:
You can use programs such as Total Commander to use the reg files.

**EDIT** sry pretty basic explaination ... usually there should be instructions where you downloaded the theme, sorry I can't be more help. Total Commander can do the reg changes you needed though.

Has anyone been successful in flashing Hero onto an ADP phone?

If you did, did you flash from the original engineering SPL -> HardSPL -> Haykuro SPL?

Or is it safe to go from Engineering SPL -> HaykuroSPL?

I've flashed to my ADP.

I was on the original, and went to the Haykuro SPL. Had no real trouble I believe. But really, it's just an extra flashing, if done right you have no real worries.

about Radio most roms comes with one installed already i suggest to get use to flashing new roms and from there you will understand more about Radio.Good luck.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] gguy1:
Yes

Yes U can I flash several times a week using a T-mobile USA phone plan and so far Radio wise I get the best performance from 1.12.25.19. The latest one isn't bad either it depends where you live and some other stuff I can't really explain. I stay in Houston area incase that helps. Radio as to do with how your phone handles signal like gps etc. I suggest you read allot of threads to understand more things, be confident with what your doing before you flash
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] imaginarynumber:
Hi Ali

As suggested by gguy- the radio is the part of the phone that communicates with the mobile phone network (and gps satelites). It is not a direct reference to the FM radio function.

Try to find a new radio based upon recommendations from others on the same carrier as you.

The quality of signal strength varies from one radio to another, what suits me might not suit you. It is worth noting that the radio will also have an impact on battery life as a weak signal will drain the battery faster.

On a locked phone you will only be able to use rapheal radios, if you unlock your phone you will be free to use the radios from some other phones.

Updating the radio leaves the rom as is and thus will not delete your files.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Karlzbad:
I know this is such a noob question but I don't see anything in any docs telling me how to use the zoom wheel or smartTouch I think I've seen it called in here.

I have had my diamond for a few months now, using the latest sprint rom from the HTC site, but I've never used the zoom wheel for anything other than as an enter key though Ive tried using it, it never does anything except as enter key press. It's supposed to have some functionality in stock roms isn't it? Where can I try it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
Virtual wheel...

In stock ROM's, the zoom wheel will zoom in and out in apps like Opera and Album, also it will change the text size in emails and texts. Some cooked ROM's have increased the usage to include scrolling through lists as if you were tapping the up and down hardware keys. I don't know of any other functionality for it :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Karlzbad:
Cool thanks, I have to try and figure out if mine is working properly, it seems like it may not be.

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
So, I'm going to discontinue the current JustHome ROM after I release a 23001 based build. But I'm also working on a whole new thing:

Introducing SuperJustKitchen!

This kitchen I'm working on will have the following features (not all released at the same time.)

Planned Features:

Multiple Devices (Not just for the Herald)

Stripped ROM with modulized stock ROMs so you can build a STOCK ROM.

Etc etc.

Finished Features

LZX and XPR compression.

Based on Ervius Visual Kitchen

MultiLanguage

Up to date with the newest wm6.1 and wm6.5 builds (I will release build packages)

Auto XIP and SYS porting

Auto ULDR removal

AutoNBH packaging

Auto flashing as part of the cooking process

No worries about having to remove conflicting files

Support batch - Enables or Disables Logging

"Extra Buttons":

Auto OEM to EXT (and OldEXT to NewEXT) package convertion

Auto UPX compression

PNG compression of all png's in the SYS, EXT and OEM

I think at first, I'm just going to release it with a Stock HTC ROM (nothing removed) but with updated builds, auto porting, the lzx compression and ULDR removal. Then start releasing cleaner ROMs. The biggest problem will be finding updated apps that have the right language MUI's.

Update: I've got the English version and the Spanish versions ready. I haven't done any stripping of the ROMs, yet, though. At the moment, it just boots the stock HTC ROMs with a newer updated Windows Mobile Build.

I'm also going to automatically optimized every PNG in the ROM files as well as include a PNG optimizer for anything people add. I'm also going to add a UPX compressor to compress EXT folders. (The new "OEM packages.")

I'm also adding a choice so you can choose your keyboard layout based on your phone and have a keyboard that matches your phone's hardware keyboard.

Partial Support is for languages for which I lack OEMs. What I have done so far is patch together an English ROM with most of the language files to create a booting ROM with the partially supported language. Unfortunately, there are many bugs to this. I still need to find proper RUU's for these languages.

I stripped the ROM into its parts...

Then I created my own OEM by hand to match the regular english OEM but with the chinese files... but since I don't have any RGU files, I'm going to flash the ROM into my phone and dump the registry and then rebuild the RGU from that... whether or not it will work remains to be seen. lol
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
OK... it didn't work. Too many things become broken and I don't want to sit there and fix them all one by one. I'd rather find someone who has access to the original files. I'm going to try to dump all those ROMs in that list. lol Thanks!
