[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dayzee:
Its Here finally - and no complaints with the handset. Arrived about 11.30am this morning as they had said. Its a white unlocked Hero, so if you are ordering from MobilePhonesDirect don't expect a black G2 to arrive.

Personally, i'm happy with white and unlocked.

I ordered last tuesday around 6pm - I reckon not long after this they'd already taken enough orders for their first batch of stock, but I could be wrong. There's no way to tell on the site whether they are in stock or not as it showed as in stock and delivered next day for me even last tues. Think it always shows that - might be worth ringing up to order with web deal in front of you to quote to operator. IF you can get through.

Their order tracking is simplistic but factual - said Stock Pending from the moment they accepted order to Sunday morning, and I was emailed sunday afty saying it had been despatched. I then got a text from TMob saying ta for the additional contract so I knew the TMob side was sorted.

Daisy xx already rooted and booted!!

Just had my order rejected, like others due to credit rating??

So went ahead and just ordered with T-mobile
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 2brains:
I've also made the jump from WinMo to Android, paid £134 for the handset on Combi 20+W'n'W.

Had a load of hassle with my upgrade, call center twice told me that i could stay on my old flex 20 plan, but when i went in store they told me i had to change to combi + W'n'W as the old plan was not compatible with the G2 !!.

Finally gave in and went ahead with the plan change as my vario 2 was dieing a slow death, and i couldn't help get a new shiny bit of tech to play with :)

Has anyone got MMS working ok on the Hero with TMob?

Settings seem ok, but I just get a link with password upon receiving a MMS.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] SleazeMonkey:
Rang a very friendly woman from T-Mobile at about 6:50pm who promptly checked stock and informed me there were 4 G2 Touch left in stock, and that if I ordered before 7:30pm (I explained I had the page all filled in, ready to click confirm) the phone would be with me the next day.

Will update when it arrives!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Richie P:
Daisy, glad you got your phone. They do have a seperate listing for the G2 Touch now.

With 2 orders cancelled, I don't think they have any though. I was tempted to order a white one on t-mobile but kinda want a black one.

Gave up on MPD in the end, screw them if they don't want my custom. :rolleyes: Ordered from somewhere else online, and it's a cheaper deal actually. Here's hoping this site is better.

Added you on twitter as well, I'm _r1ch on there :)

Get this, don't know how, but my brother has sourced Black Heros that aren't T-Mobile, they are HTC branded and fully unlocked. They are the genuine stuff... When I get mine, i'll take some pics. they were only £10 more too, £409.99, I'm happy!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] SleazeMonkey:
...And got an email this morning saying they have none in stock. Assume they're getting stock in daily though. Might ring and see if I can pick one up from my local T-Mobile store instead.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] SleazeMonkey:
200 units of G2 Touch coming in on Friday, for delivery Saturday. Could pick up from local T-Mobile store but that won't include a 7-day returns policy, despite actually conducting the transaction online.

As you know, since last week Youtube makes it easier to upload and view 3D videos. More info:

http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2009/07/now-in-3d-join-experiment-with-us.html

"3D video/photo shooting app for Android. By using 2 Android devices the app should sync them by Bluetooth, so they can start, stop, pause simultaneously. After shooting the video this app should combine as red/green and share via Youtube/Picasa."
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
That isn't practical since you would need two devices.
[G1 Apps and Games] mirox3m:
I am sure that soon we will see phones with 2 cameras on the back that would be able to shoot directly in 3D, but until then I can't think of a more practical way for videos. Android should be the best environment for this.

For photos you are right, it is possible to do it with just a single camera.
[G1 Apps and Games] nickmgray:
nice idea, but highliy impracticle. 3D video shooting has been around for decades and it's still just a WOW-factro technology. Even with all the TVs that are going to be released with 3D capabilities, you still need to wear those goofy glasses in order to see things right.

Just because YouTube is catering to 3D video technology does not mean that we will see cellhpones with two cameras on them.
[G1 Apps and Games] g4m3rz:
with this out

3d cameras on cell phones shouldn't be too far.. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] mirox3m:
You don't need any kind of "special TV" to watch 3D images. The "goofy" glasses are available and are cheap enough (1.5-15$) to have them near your LCD TV or Monitor.

The world is moving much faster to the 3D technology. A recent example is Ice Age 3.

Back in year 2000, when I installed probably the first complete CarPC in Europe ( http://www.carstereo.com/installs/photo_gallery_album.cfm?home=yes&photoid=18833&galleryid=609 ) I heard very similar opinions that "it is not practical", and etc. Now it is something normal, available and you don't have to DIY.
[G1 Apps and Games] SolemnWishing:
When the TV came out, people called it "impractical" and a waste of time and that no one would sit on a chair to bother watching it.

When the PC came out, it was also called impractical and that nobody would want to use it.

When the G1 came out, I looked at it and thought to myself "damn that is one ugly phone, no one would ever want to use that." And my friends agreed with me.

Look at where we are now (:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MFZ22:
I know this thread is old, but I don't see a reason why I should make a new thread if this one is right on topic for what I wanna talk about..

I first made an over sized swap partition of 256MB ( inexperienced -- I just got into smartphones and modding them a week ago ) and it didn't help performance much. I made a 32MB partition a couple days ago ( swappiness is at 90 ) and it really increased performance of my set.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danny0085:
swap

If you have a RAM equal or lower than 256

SWAP = 2 * RAM

Example

SWAP = 2 * 256Mb

SWAP = 512 Mb

If your RAM is greater just use a RAM of 512Mb

I searched up and down for a solution to reduce the text size in the Titanium home screen but all went in vain, the thing is I want to be able to navigate easily between plugins, and basically use effectively the Titanium plugins.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hujer:
You have to modify appropriate CPR file (it's XML format) in the \Windows directory and reload the Titanium plugin after changes.

For QVGA device there are Titanium_240x320.cpr and Titanium_320x240.cpr files, for VGA there should be e.g. Titanium_480x640.cpr etc.

Look for FontFamily or FontSize tags there...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Willy318is:
thank you for your reply, but isn't there a cab or a Registry file that can do the job?

or what app do I need to edit the above mentioned cpr files? plus, do I have to modify the Font size in all 3 files?

Kind regards;
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tempest2112:
There are a couple of CAB files around in the forum which give small and smaller menus, if this is what you are after.Search "small menus" and they should come up.

Sorry just reread and its the home screen you want to change,my bad
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] grzegorz10:
There are only two files you need to edit StartMenu_GridScene_480x800.cpr and StartMenu_GridScene_800x480.cpr . You don't need any special tool just change the end to .txt on your pc ant then it can be opened up to read and edit. Just change the size under FontSize= you may have to move your font left or right depending on how you want it aligned, once done just rename the end .cpr use a tool like Total commander to place it back in widows on your phone. Thats all there is to it. I hope this helps.

Like all of us I'm having a hard time flipping arround 1000+ pages of various threads in Applications / ROMs / Customization ... All are for the new comer WM 6.5

Why not CREATE A SECTION just for WM 6.5 ? this will make it extremely easy for WM 6.5 fans to find what they are looking for.

it Should include the following:

1. Themes

2. Titanium Home Screen Plugins

3. Fixes & Tips/Tricks

4. New CE Builds

5. etc

The aim is to provide us XDA-Devs, with a unified section covering all aspects of the New WM 6.5, especially, that I guess after a period of 6 to 12 months, WM 6.5 will be dominating the new threads in XDA-Devs, But yet, for WM 6.1 users, we don't want everything regarding the two OS get mixed in the same location.

The Sooner the better, and easier for Admins too.

Can we Acheive that XDA-Devs Team?

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] unowho:
You are right but I think the point was to catalogue HD/WVGA supported apps, tweak etc without trawling this section.

You could just search but it can be a trudge when you don't know exactly what you are searching for.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dgen:
all the wm6.5 plugins i'm using, were found at the devs forum..
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] unowho:
Same here...

I have no problem with trawling the forums hence the fact that I have only posted 12 (now 13) times in over 3 years as reading usually gives you the answers you need.

But, not everyone is inclined to spend hours sorting the wheat from the chaff.

Where manageable... I see nothing wrong with xda giving people new to WM (and for a lot of people, their HD is their first exploration) information tailored to their device.

When I first got my wallaby, the site was much (much) smaller; I would imagine that if you had just bought an HD and none of your mates have one, coming to xda for the first time could be overwhelming.

You can read all the tutorials but anyone who works in a development environment knows that written words will usually leave some ambiguity.

Most of the 6.5 apps were not developed by devs using a WVGA device so running threads specifically under blackstone would allow HD users who do know the apps to focus on helping others with issues specific to the HD.

Hopefully this would improve their overall knowledge and confidence in their device and who knows, they may be the people that will develop the apps for WM7 on the HD...

I think it is inevitable anyway considering how bloated a lot of general threads are getting with the ever increasing xda population (not that this is a bad thing - wouldn't want this to become an elitist Linux style forum).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Fallen Spartan:
Instead of creating new forums all you have to do is put 'WM6.5' or 'WM6.1' in title of each thread.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] unowho:
Hi Fallen Spartan

+ screen resolution would be good.

I am assuming that because Will has posted this under a blackstone sub-category that he feels targeting information, help and support specifically to blackstone users would bring benefit as most apps posted under dev&hacking are already labelled up where they will only work on a specific OS.

Perhaps my point is out of place with the feelings of others but it is not finding apps that is difficult. The difficulty (and I do believe it is common place) is as I illuded to in my previous post.

When you do ask a question specific to running an app on the HD, it can either be overlooked due to the volume of questions other members are asking or the response is not by someone who has the device (including the developer) so help, although willingly given, can often be a dead end.

I do not have a solution for this but I am hoping you may think about how it can be easier for people to help people (I am as keen to help as be helped).

A user could always open a thread under themes and apps asking the question relating to a general app for specific help on the HD

I know I would feel a little uncomfortable doing this as naturally it feels the question should fall somehow into a WVGA/HD sub-category under the original app thread. It could mean that I caused other users to be unsure where to ask or look for help.

PS:

My comments are not intended to be taken as critical - This is a great site!

As with any user experience, the users change as do their expectaions (most users I see on the blackstone forum have a join date +2009 which is truly fantastic) and it is prudent to consider this going forward.

I won't comment anymore as I don't want to appear to be taking this down the route of a philosophical debate and you have elegantly answered Will's original post.

Mark.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bigdyl69:
Sounds like a great idea
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] antonyand:
Does this help tho

Yes this is a good idea, but when you search for "WM6.5" you get "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. " because (i'm guessing from trail and error) that the word is too short or sumthing.

I have been looking for a nice theme for my new WM6.5 rom and am spending hours trawling thro pages of forums.

I'd love to see a WM6.5 forum under the blackstone forum.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Willy318is:
My Main Concern was/is this:

When you use search feature, it gives you several threads for the same VALUE, but there are lots of file VERSIONS and/or UPDATES.

So, Users will not be able to target the most up to date File/Cab/Tweak, which sometimes causes instability with new Manilla or something like that, but if we have coherent SECTION, updates will be included to facilitate the problem solving without compromising device stability.

I mean it will be a UNIFIED thread, with UPDATES Content, to reduce the hassle, and mistakes.

Take for example those most-wanted:

1. BG for all Tabs? --- there is a 100 versions over XDA-Devs, which is NEWEST?

2. Old Start Menu --- SAME

3. Colored TASKBAR --- SAME

4. Manilla Analog Clock --- m2.0 or m2.1

5. TSK Files

6. etc.

Plus, I don't want to spend a whole day searching for a cab, for the above mentioned or else, and get screwed because I used a wrong version, and need to Hard Reset.

Not all users are professionals as others, there is a various skills in here, from noobs, to profs.

Everything seems so intricate and difficult here, why do we fight over opinions all the time?

Please lets be atleast professional and friendly, as we have always been before.

Again, WM phones are top notch phones now, not like 3 years back, when HTC used to be High Tech Computers Co. (Think Himalaya/Wallabay)

Can I request the programming gurus 2 make a new panel for Xperia X1 which is same to Toshiba's 3 Striped Interface (having all features like colour customization, flick-2-change, scroll stripes separately&vertically, choose programs you want 2 show & all you can do on Toshiba G1 touch interface... I can't mention all features caz I may still miss few, in short will say 100% same)

sorry to say that, but people like You are killing this forum. the quickest way of having this interface on Your device is to buy tg01.

All of you are quite confused it looks like... :eek:

@ biernes_atrece, he is talking about the TG01 which is a Windows Mobile Device.

@ bronx, How is asking if something can be ported over killing the forum? The only mistake I see here is a post in the wrong forum. All great things start with an idea.

@ killer8nl, I highly doubt that the interface will be ported over, mostly because most people that have used it say it is horrible. Not that it has stopped anyone before. Other things to think about is the TG01 is like a Ferarri, it is very fast. And the X1 is like a nice Nissan or something. It's not bad, but it has nothing on a ferarri and you will never see the same speeds.

The interface could very well be tied to the high end processor that the TG01 has, but I find it unlikely seeing as the interface is quite lacking anyway. Personally I would love to see it ported to my topaz too.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] K 7:

The TG01 has a 1GHz processor and the X1 has a 528MHz processor

I may be wrong but if the TG01 interface is made to run on a 1GHz processor, try to make it work on a 528MHz processor is like trying to drive at 200MPh with a BMW 325TDS just because a Ferrari Enzo can do it
