[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Forsaken:
Hi folks,

i've got a problem while developing my "learning app". just developing it to learn how to solve things on windows mobile... blah.. to the problem.

When loading & drawing an image into my app it reduces the colors of at least one image so it looks kind of crap.

The used image is a jpeg file loaded into an IImage via IImagingFactory.

Screenshot: http://img22.yfrog.com/i/myappr.jpg/ (how it looks)

Background: http://img36.yfrog.com/i/backgroundwzu.jpg/ (how it should look lke)

Most interesting parts of the class i wrote for drawing all that stuff:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <imaging.h>
#include <initguid.h>
#include <imgguids.h>
#include <aygshell.h>

class gfx
{
public:
gfx(void) {
CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);
if (SUCCEEDED(CoCreateInstance (CLSID_ImagingFactory,
NULL,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_IImagingFactory,
(void **)&this->pImgFactory)))
{
// Initialize backbuffer
this->hdcBackbuffer = NULL;
this->hdcArtwork = NULL;
this->bmBackbuffer = CreateBitmap( 480, 536, 1, 16, NULL);
this->bmArtwork = CreateBitmap( 480, 536, 1, 16, NULL);
// Do some unrelated initialisation assignments ....
// Done! :D
// Load images
if (!SUCCEEDED(this->pImgFactory->CreateImageFromFile(TEXT("\\Program Files\\ForsakenToday\\Background.jpg"), &this->pImageBackground))) return;
// Load some more images
// Loading done, ready to draw.
this->bReady = true;
}
};

bool Draw(HDC hdc, RECT *rc_update) {
if (this->bReady) {
this->rgnUpdate = CreateRectRgn(rc_update->left, rc_update->top, rc_update->right, rc_update->bottom);
if (this->hdcArtwork == NULL) {
RECT rc_background = {0, 0, 480, 536};
RECT rc_clock = {80, 0, 400, 96};
this->hdcArtwork = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc);
SelectObject(this->hdcArtwork, this->bmArtwork);
this->gDrawImage(this->hdcArtwork, rc_background, this->pImageBackground);
this->gDrawImage(this->hdcArtwork, rc_clock, this->pImageClock);
}
if (this->hdcBackbuffer == NULL) {
this->hdcBackbuffer = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc);
SelectObject(this->hdcBackbuffer, this->bmBackbuffer);
}
SelectClipRgn(this->hdcBackbuffer, this->rgnUpdate);
BitBlt(this->hdcBackbuffer, rc_update->left, rc_update->top, (rc_update->right-rc_update->left), (rc_update->bottom-rc_update->top),
this->hdcArtwork, rc_update->left, rc_update->top, SRCCOPY);
// Painting all that overlaying stuff that changed ...
// Done! :D
BitBlt(hdc, rc_update->left, rc_update->top, (rc_update->right-rc_update->left), (rc_update->bottom-rc_update->top),
this->hdcBackbuffer, rc_update->left, rc_update->top, SRCCOPY);
return true;
}
return false;
};
void gDrawImage(HDC hdc, RECT rc, IImage *pImage) {
pImage->Draw(hdc, &rc, NULL);
};
}

If i forgot anything, tell me :)

I would be happy about to know where exactly the image's colors are reduced and/or how to prevent this.

Best regards

Jens
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the_ozyrys:
Ultimate answer to your problem lays in fact that Windows Mobile can display only 65536 colors. This is 16 bits per pixel, and pixel color is coded R5 G6 B5, meaning 5 bits for red and blue, and 6 for green, which gives 32 red levels, 64 green levels and 32 blue levels (this makes 32*64*32 = 65536 possible colors). Not bad, BUT... when comes to grayscale, there's a small problem - since "gray levels" are made in RGB using same level for R, G and B (for example, gray level 15 in RGB is 15-15-15). Because of that, you can have only 32 gray levels! And what you see in your app is approximation of each pixel to one of those 32 gray levels... So only thing you can do is to save this image with 16-bit color and use dithering to improve color representation, but I don't know app that can do so... If you find one, please tell me...

This is the best dithering I can get, but this is not 16-bit, it's dithering on 256 color Mac palette:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Forsaken:
Ah okay that explains why all other (colored) images look fine...

thanks for your quick reply :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the_ozyrys:
Actually, any gradient image will look crappy because of this...

As for now, only solution is to dither it or avoid gradients...

Can I insert smiles in sms??? :)

I neet it :(
[HTC Excalibur] jeonatl3:
On my phone, press the symbol key whilst composing a text message and you get a list of symbols you can choose from to insert. There are some smilies there :-) Although they're not actual smilies, just the text representations of them - but many phones recognise them and replace them with a nice picture instead.

If you want to send actual pictures, use MMS or e-mail.
[HTC Excalibur] kirta89:
where is symbol key ???

When I resive sms, I wnat this >>> :-) or ;-) or :-D looks like cute yellow smiles

can I??? :)
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
As poster said above this is all dependant on phone as not many phones recieve emotes as seen by the user so might aswell just do it the oldschool way.

[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Service Center or JTAG, no other option.

Hi Krazy,

How if I take the original old gene's SPL from oficial WM 6 asia, and flash the SpL eith it, nothing to loos to try it.
[P3400 ROM Development] vaibhav_batra_the_techguy:
it will not solve the problem

read this and then this also

for some reason RUU fails to update the SPL image, the phone comes to screen with progress bar but then RUU fails and says "plaese use a new update utility"
[P3400 ROM Development] vaibhav_batra_the_techguy:
I DONT KNOW Y U PEOPLE ARE SO CARELESS IN DOING SUCH THINGS.....

THERE ARE SO MANY WARNINGS WRITTEN IN STICKY POSTS AND THERE ARE NOW SEVERAL METHODS TO IDENTIFY OLD-NEW GENE AND THEN UPDATE IT...

[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
Don't get mad. Actually its hilarious. In atleast once in 15 days, you will find one guy or the other bricking his or device by wrongly patching.

Come to think of it, I have seen around three or more pple in the last month alone 'updating' the SPL of their old gene to oref (even though there Gene was not complaining with .olip) :D :D :D

I wonder what they would have done when we joined this forum :D
[P3400 ROM Development] haree:

hi

buddy ur right bulls eye i thinks its more like people think they are too smart and do all crazy things i know for a fact that this has been told a mill+++ times not to try the same anyway try and help the poor soul:D:D

some one got into this problem and got out i dont remember who i hope he sees this thread and tries to help :D

I have sucessfully upgraded the old gene

GUYS........... I HAVE RECOVERED MY OLD GENE THAT GOT BRICKED WITH orefkov spl ... IT IS DONE AS ... I PUT MY MOBILE IN BOOT LOADER AND THEN DO THE HSPL OF OLIPRO... IT HAS OLIPRO NBH FINE SO IT GOT UPDATED TO 1.20 OLIPRO SPL THEN AGAIN I RESTART THE MOBILE IN BOOT LOADER AND IT SHOWS THE OLIPRO SPL ... AFTER THAT I UPDATED THE ROM USING RUU AND MOBILE GOT WORKED AND NOW I AM HAVING WM 6.1...

AND AFTER THAT AGAIN I TRYED TO FLASH THE OREFKOV BUT IT FLASHING AND SHOWS ONLY OLIPRO SPL .... IT IS NOT CHANGING THE OREFKOV... SO I JUST LEAVE IT

MY MOBILE WORKING NOW AS SPL 1.20 OLI ... IS IT CORRECT SPL ??? DO I HAVE TO UPDATE OLD GENE ROMS ???
[P3400 ROM Development] haree:
@rahmanee

hi

if my understanding is right ur spl now is .olip so ur gene is old gene

now if u have flashed a ROM for old gene and its working good:D flash only rom for old gene and don't try any more tricks :)

stick to old gene flash old gene ROM and have fun

im saying this based on what i understand from ur posting

i hope ur problem is solved good luck :D:D

im a sumit Fan(Krazy)@ rahamaneee

hi

no offense to the other cooks here but i have always been a Fan of Sumit u can see my sign (Krazy) i can see that he has released a new build try it u will like as his roms are generally loaded with most of the basic things u would need in ur ROM MAKE SURE U USE THE ROM FOR OLD GENE ONLY OK

AND I WAS TOLD THAT OVER CLOKING IS BAD FOR UR PHONE LIFE I WOULD SUGGEST U NOT TO DO I NEVER DID IT WHILE USING MY GENE
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
If you are a speed fanatic like me, you can go for upto 20% of your Core CPU Speed. But do not go beyond that, as it will fry your CPU and drain the battery too. Better use CPU Scalar and set the max speed to 240 MHz and Min speed to 110 MHz (or near about). this gives good speed and performance (balanced).

Hope it helps :)

I had been under the impression that the Hero had a physical keyboard. Now that I know that it doesn't, has there been any word about a new Android phone with a physical keyboard?
[G1 General] ubernicholi:
ATT will be releasing the lancaster in the next few months.http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/05/24/htc-lancaster-is-a-qwerty-slider-with-android-for-atandt/
[G1 General] GenericNode:
Samsung Bigfoot.
[G1 General] jordanjay29:
T-Mo needs another good HTC handset with a keyboard. The Dream is becoming old school more by the minute. I want something suitable to replace it once my contract's up, and I don't feel like hopping to AT&T. Not to mention that bordering keys on phones is bad for non-visual key identification, the Dream's separated keys help improve key identification without looking.
[G1 General] Mysticales:
Well the G1 is turing into the Iphone. So I dont think it will be old school dead, just hope they keep upgrading it in a GOOD way. Adding a flash to the camera and keyboard support would be a good start... focusing on its linux backend is another, allowing for USB input devices would give it the win. Basic elements. Puddy to give it form, Duct Tape to bind it together, Caffinee to make it go. =)
[G1 General] aceo07:
Based on the specs, it seems like a downgrade. 4 row keyboard vs 5 row, QVGA vs HVGA, fixed focus camera vs auto-focus..
[G1 General] Mysticales:
Good to know. Heh Its been debated G1 beats G2, and if G1 beats the ATT one.. so far Im thinking wise investment so far.

I do wonder about that Samsung Android tho..
[G1 General] speoples20:
Samsung is going to be releasing the I7500 Galaxy with 8GB of internal memory and a 3.2 AMOLED 16M Color screen. 5MP autofocus camera with a flash.

Motorola will be releasing some phones as well. Nothing much about them yet.
[G1 General] Roadmasta01:
I remember reading on TmoNews a while ago that there is supposed to be a G1 v.2 late this year, I beleive it is a physical redesign to help its' looks.
[G1 General] Mysticales:
Basically has anyone noticed the G1 really was built to last? I havent anything that scream "OMG I GOTTA UPGRADE TO THIS MODEL!" yet. G1 so far has outlasted iphones launch.. I mean soon as they got it, they came out with a 3g model. Something we already have.

Only thing to make G1 perfect. Add flash camera, more internal memory and hell, why not a linux-swap partition built in. =p
[G1 General] lbcoder:
We definitely don't want swap. Just more RAM.
[G1 General] POTZY:
The RAM is fine. I wish they rebuilt the browser with the Native Developement Kit. That would probably solve most of the problems. Getting more PoP RAM is just not possible because MICRON has to get their lard asses and do it.

But since ARM architecture isn't their prime investment it'll be a while before we see anything.

I heard a few IRC members were doing the initial looks at hardware hacking. I don't know all the details but if anything we could definetly add flash to the camera if the genius IRC guys figure it out.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
You could easily add an external flash via the serial port. It would, however, be somewhat bulky. If you build it in, then you need to butcher it. Either way, it seems perfectly pointless... its not a camera, its a phone/pda.
[G1 General] GuestK0050:
Lancaster = Serious Fail. The chip it uses does not include the ATI 3D acceleration that all the other Android Phones have.

It's like AT&T purposly wants Android to fail instead of releasing a real device.

Maybe Hero.

Rogers Dream on AT&T 3G is great.

-James
[G1 General] RueTheDay:
The 256MB ROM / 192MB RAM of the G1 is inadequate.

If they bumped it up to at least the 512MB ROM / 288MB RAM of the Canadian Magic and the Hero, bumped the camera to 5MP w/ a flash, and added a slightly larger battery, the G1 would be good for another couple of years. Just about everything else can be addressed in software.
[G1 General] imbonez9:
no sh!t they want it to fail, why would they want to sell something that will take away from there icr@pper 3gsucks? I haven't seen any ads for anything but that on att
[G1 General] predo:
ITs just the battery that should be improved in G1, everything else will do for now...
[G1 General] Abbens:
its best to invest in a bigger battery. I would but I cannot find any in NYC
[G1 General] tep065:
faster processor and larger internal memory would be good :) then we could run the hero roms more efficiently lol.
[G1 General] Mysticales:
I would believe ATT and Apple BOTH want it to fail.. afterall that market is about iphones. So ever other GSM is countering iphone with a better android. And isnt he soooo cute. ^^

I am also looking for the next Tmobile 3g Android device with a physical keyboard and more storage/memory! I've said it in other posts and ill say it here...the amount of internal storage and memory on this phone is at Androids lowest specs! Not a smart move on Google or TMobile's part to make this the first device!

8 months and 21 days after launch and its already lagging behind its successors!
[G1 General] down8:
Tegra, 640x480 minimum AMOLED, 5-row kb, 512 RAM, 4GB storage + uSD, improved 3G coverage and I'll be happy. :)

That's not asking too much is it?

[G1 General] Vision77:
I want an Android phone with a slightly larger screen, a physical keyboard, more internal memory a snapdragon processor, and a kick ass battery. Oh and a 5meg camera would be nice. And while we're at it I want it to shoot lasers too :D Just kidding on the lasers part....(not)
[G1 General] Mysticales:
How about a G1 that can simply play Emulators with perfection and good input option or controller option. =p Thats a "Dream" =D
[G1 General] plazmagog:
Android + Tegra = Win.

[G1 General] Deathwish238:
Lame. Seriously just lame. I might have to switch off of AT&T...or give up a keyboard...

I really want to stick with HTC and I don't think I'ld buy Samsung. I'ld be up for a Motorola possibly...

Well just unlock the HTC phone and use it on ATT =p But getting rid of it sounds good too. T-Mobile data plans better anyways and no tethering charges. =D

[G1 General] Deathwish238:

[G1 General] Noni007:
To make this phone perfect I think it just needs a few things...

1. Increase RAM (at least 288mb like hero)

2. Increase ROM (at least 512mb like hero)

3. Add 3.5mm jack

4. 5 MP Camera with flash

5. Flash 10 player

6. Better battery life

I love the hero ROM but the g1 just cant handle it without a lot of modifications (swap partition or swapper, optimizing rosie , removing widgets etc)...

I love the physical keyboard and would love to see a phone with all of the above things and a physical keyboard... It would even be perfect if HTC could make a G1 v2 with all of the above things..

the specs on the samsung galaxy(samsung i7wutever) is abt the same except the fact that it has 8gig of internal mem plus sd card slot.. 8gig internal is very nice but! u got to look at the desing. one big flaw is the dpad. with incorporation of the trackball(btw which is a higher quality ball than used in blackberries) browsing has been a lot easier for me at least...
[G1 General] brian_v3ntura:
the thing is that it run on WM and ANDROID is catching up to WM. WM just need a huge overhaul. at least in aesthetics. plus the tmobile version look a little different. esp. the back battery cover...for sum reason it reminds me of motorola(back cover) which is fugly
[G1 General] LatinSilEighty:
well yeah lets say something like this came out with android it would have to be capacitive for sure resistive is junk :mad: and for a windows mobile phone its actually not as sluggish as you would think it would be. i just wish you could scrap windows mobile and out some android and sence on it and yes i do agree the back is kinda :confused: but honestly my main concern is the badass keyboard and the nice big screen i could care less about the back.

so lets say it had maybe android with sence, a nicer back, and a capacitive screen wouldnt you guys say it would be a good upgrade from a G1? or maybe even the perfect android phone? eh?

Hello,

Before i start writing my question. I apologize for my bad english. I hope you understand me :)

One year ago, i bought an second handed HTC Touch. But 2 day's ago my screen does not what i want. When i pressed at te bottom of te screen. There is no reaction. When i pressed at te middle of te screen. There is an reaction 1 cm above where i pressed my stylus/finger.

This is over the whole screen.

What is te problem? The digitizer or LCD Screen?

Thanks
[Touch GSM General] cris_rowlands:
If there is a problem, its with the digitizer, thats what deals with the touching.

First, before doing anything else, try callibrating your screen.

Start > Settings > Screen > Callibrate screen

This should hopefully sort it out :)
[Touch GSM General] sasa66:
As mentioned in second post TRy Align (calibrate) screen if failed try a hard reset

Digitizer.

Get one from ebay or bring your phone down to service centre.

After the calibration the touch screen works perfect :)
