Hi everyone!

Since I have been developing software for more than six years now I installed Eclipse and the SDK yesterday out of curiosity.

Now to motivate myself to really learn developing for the platform I have to have a little pet project ;-)

I thought of something like a manual GPS logger, a program that you start, it gets a GPS fix and asks you for a comment. Then this data is saved and you can later export to KML, CVS and perhaps others.

My idea behind this is to save battery life when compared to loggers which save in intervals of i.ee 5 seconds. Furthermore I think it would be a more easy way to later identify or search for a spot if you have just one point with the comment "Here be dragons" instead of a trace around the Lonely Mountain ;-)

So, as stated above, I just installed the SDK and Eclipse yesterday and did the first Hello World, so do not except to see anything within the next few days. I just wanted to hear some general remarks or if there already is an app like this out there which I just missed.

So any comments are welcome and I will keep you up to date if I start developing this.

Kind Regards,

Thanatos81

Oh, okay. Well then I will have a look at it. After that I will decide whether I pursue the idea Thanks for your reply!

Took this from Neowin.net but near the end they mention Windows phone and new Gui are they talking about 6.5 or 7 does anyone have any info.

Microsoft officially confirmed today that it has finished Windows 7 and released the final build to manufacturing (RTM).

Steve Ballmer, Chief Executive Officer at Microsoft, confirmed that Microsoft has finalised Windows 7 during his speech at an employee conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Microsoft Global Exchange (MGX) is an internal Microsoft conference for Microsoft's global sales teams and evangelists. Employees have been posting updates to Twitter today.

Kevin Turner, Microsoft's Chief Operating Officer, donned the stage earlier at MGX claiming "in business, adversity is inevitable, but misery is a choice" during his keynote. It was also announced that Jim Cirone (east region evangelist) won the Microsoft Chairman award for his thought leadership on Silverlight. The award is handed out annually for innovations that have furthered the state of "engineering excellence" at Microsoft.

Microsoft also announced the investment of $9.5 billion in research and development for FY09. This is the most for any technology company and the Redmond software giant will not decrease its investment in FY10. The closest comparable company is IBM with $3 billion less.

Before Ballmer confirmed Windows 7 RTM, Bob Muglia proudly claimed that "developers are at the heart of Microsoft" after demonstrations of virtualisation in Windows Server 2008. Microsoft employees were also treated to SharePoint 2010 demos and Office 2010 running across PC, phone and browser. Later on in the day Bing was the focus with Yusuf Mehdi, Senior Vice President, Online Audience Business Group taking the stage with demonstrations of Bing's travel updates. Robbie Bach later took to the stage and demonstrated the Zune HD and Windows integration. New Windows Phone branding and UI was also demonstrated.

RTM (Released to manufacturing) marks the end of the Windows 7 alpha and beta phase and the product will now be officially supported by Microsoft's support channels and servicing. RTM does not mark the end of Windows 7 development though. Engineers will have booked their summer vacations but new builds will still be compiled ready for any hotfixes and heading towards the initial SP1 release.

Microsoft announced yesterday that the Windows 7 RTM build will be in OEM's hands "2 days after RTM" meaning OEM partners may have the build as early as Friday. MSDN and TechNet customers will receive the build on August 6.

7600.16385.090713-1255 is confirmed as the official RTM build, according to Steven Sinofsky "today after all the validation checks were met, we signed off and declared build 7600.16385 as RTM."

Alright I was able to install the Htc Keyboard on the Mytouch 3G. Pretty sweet

Just posted some pics of my mytouch
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] st0kes:
Great - perhaps you could tell us how you did it and where you got the files from?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bastage:
I 2nd that.. I thought it required rooting the device
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yipcanjo:
And how did you accomplish that, Chuco? Please enlighten us! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] korndub:
you download appmanager, download the htc_ime.apk from the forum put it on your sd card and use appmanager to install from sd....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] st0kes:
I got this working using the files and the instructions on Haykuro's blog:

http://haykuro.theiphoneproject.org/?p=213

After the phone restarts, open messages, go to a new message, do a long press in the text input box and when the option appears select 'input method' - 'touch input'

Massive improvement on the stock Android keyboard!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crxtasi:
NICE! This is freaking sweet... it'll definitely make waiting for root more bearable since this was one of the apk that i wanted in the myTouch :D

Thank you for the heads up!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bastage:
+1.. Just did this on my G1 & will be doing it on my mytouch monday before anything else.. I love the compact qwerty..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ADchemist:
How is this compared to better keyboard or touchpal??

cant wait until i get my touch, in for when it finally arrives.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crxtasi:
I do too... I don't even use my physical keys anymore because of it!

Well HTC_IME has 3 types of keyboards... regular QWERTY, Compact QWERTY (Like the ones on the BB Pearl) and t9.

I have some screen shot of it on my G1 here

As far as better keyboard, its still the same keyboard found in cupcake just skinned and its similar to touchpal but touchpal has a ton more options. hope this helps:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ADchemist:
thank you that did help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mykenyc:
i have to disagree i find that the htc keyboard to find my words way better than the stock android i type faster on this than on my blackberry
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crxtasi:
:confused: eh? we never did say which one was better than the other :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bastage:
the htc keyboard is definitely better.. stock is lackluster.. Nothing wrong with it, but its not good either..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] c-phresh:
im using appmanager to install the htc_ime.apk bt its not working... any suggestions?? im using my MyTouch
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Mi|enko:
Is it not letting you install? Giving you an error? Are you changing the touch input after you install it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] c-phresh:
it says its nstalled but when i try to change the touch input there isnt another option other than "android keyboard"
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crxtasi:
Damn you for getting your myTouch early gotta wait 1 more week :D but when your on your sms screen try holding down the text input area, click on "Input Method" and you should have 2 options "Android keyboard" and "Touch Input" click on Touch Input and you should have HTC_IME instead. I know I don't have my myTouch yet but I think that how it is if you have installed. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Mi|enko:
Did you try rebooting?

On another note: Anybody notice that the htc keyboard is a resource hog? Can't use while I'm listening to music.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Mi|enko:
Android double post ftw.

It posts twice, because it's twice as nice. :-D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] xdadJeroen:
Guys,

Any good emulators for HTC Touch Pro 2 on the net? - GBC

- GBA

- PS

Any nice games/roms for these emulators?(for example i would like to have the whole pokemon series (from GBC to GBA (to DS if possible)))

What are your sources? sites and ****

Will there be emulators of PSP or DS or something or isnt that possible?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] freaknormel:
Dont think those emulators exists.

I was looking for emulators of nes and sega, could find anything..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mikeinashed:
You can use morphgear if you change your IME settings so it can recognise the keyboard. However, Genesis module crashes and SNES isn't so stable either. SNES is usable though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] xdadJeroen:
I've so far found FPSCe for PS(x?), Pocketgnuboy for GBC and Morphgear for GBA..

But shouldnt TP2 be able to play games from DS and PSP platforms.. it at least has a better CPU??:P or doesnt that have anything to do with it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] animelover:
Please note, you need to emulate EVERYTHING from DS and PSP! Our beloved Pro2 isn't capable of that! :(

Simply try to play a GBA game with sound enabled and you know how many power such an emulation would need!

P.S.:

Have you tried PocketGBA for GBA games? Loved it on my old dead Diamond! ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dazultra2000:
Just because it has a higher CPU speed, does not mean it should be able to process stuff from other platforms better.

All CPUs have different architectures. The CPU in the Touch Pro2 is an evolution of the ARM architecture. The DS also uses an ARM class processor, but uses a different instruction set.

The PSP uses a MIPS CPU.

Modern computers use variations of the x86 architecture.

The reason why they are called "Emulators" is because they have to emulate the instructions and architechture of the processor of the other device. This wastes a HELL of a lot of your own devices CPU cycles.

This is why running a PlayStation (33MHz MIPS CPU) emulator on a 500MHz x86 PC CPU is pretty slow, despite having 15x the CPU speed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] freaknormel:
Does anybode here have a NES or/and SNES emulator, which one supports landscape modus ???

I am using an TP2

1.53 CRASHEs after i try to load the selected rom.

Thanks a lot !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] acer_n300:
After I have watched the following video, I found that TP2 is quite smooth for playing some games on emulator.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] schriss:
You can also try emulating PC (not just DOS). You can mount any ISO as CDROM drive, there is Windows95 image ready to use, so no need to install, just start it up and play with it.

I got it all to work, it's not very slow, sometimes I click on something and it opens in 1-2 seconds, so not bad.

Not something to install games and play, but something cool to show off and play with.

I managed to add NE2000 network card but couldn't get network to work yet.

Works well on Touch Pro2, including Landscape mode.

After you press F12, hardware keyboard Enter key works as mouse click (single and double click). F5 turns full screen on.

P.S. There also is older MAC OSX image, loads pretty quickly under that emulator.

Gives a SEND - Do not send error after i chose the rom to load..

Is there anyone who managed to make it work on the tp2 ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] xdadJeroen:
oke thanks guys for emulator info and software..

now.. what kind of nice games/software you guys got installed on your babies..?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] freaknormel:
wow, wait a sec.. does that mean that you managed to make an emulator work for the TP2 , which also supports landscape and full screen ?

If thats the case, than i wanna know where i cant find the software, before we go further with the games :)

If there is someone here in this whole forum, who wants it the most, than its definitely me

Im curiously waiting for a reaction ....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] xdadJeroen:
oohww.. no.. sorry i made you all enthousiastic for nothing:o

i ment thanks for the info about why the tp2 probably wont be able to handle psp & ds games.. and the software suggestions like.. fpsce(ps) pocketgnuboy(gbc) pocketgba/morphgear(gba) pocketsnes(snes)..

(allthough i thought that the gba emulators are in landscape what i saw on youtube.. but don't wanna give you false hope)

laterss..

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fabioonegri4:
the *morphgear* is a great emulator (nes,snes,mdrive,gboy,gboycolor....) to full screen mode u have to go in the config settings,tap the vgame u'll play(nes,snes....) and change de zoom 100% to window size. u have to change de driver to (auto to GDI) , in orientation stay in north. to config the inputs u have to tap your virtual keyboard and tap "other inputs method", if u don't to it u'll stock inthe config input method and the number 229 will appear in all buttons. thanks

Our TP2's are capable of running Java based applications.

I would suggest going to www.getjar.com and trying some of their Java based emulated games. :eek:

Anyone knows of such an application for Touch Pro 2??

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gadjet:
Hi everyone, I am a bit of a flash junky thanks to the great selection of ROM's here at XDA-Developers, many thanks to all the great cooks here!!, but every time I flash a original ROM 1.56 or above when I restore my contacts and appointments via PPCPimBackup (v2.8.0.0) I experienced a slow photo contact problem, i.e. when I scroll through my contacts pictures this is extremely slow? it can take 3-4 seconds slowly flipping say 3 contact photos? not a problem with any cooked ROM?

I have tried tweaking the original ROM's via HD Tweak 0.5.4 but everything I have tried doesn’t work in speeding up contact photos in manila?

I am pretty much happy with most of the cooked ROM's available here, and the speed is generally much faster than the original ROM's, but wondered why the slow contacts tab in manila is appearing now?

Here’s hoping someone can clarify the problem for me.

Thanks again to everyone who contributes their valuable time here XDA-Developers.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
May I ask why you continulously flash back to original rom? Why not stick with cooked rom's if problem only occurs on original?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gadjet:
Hi..:)

Hi Fallen Spartan.

I always flash back to original ROM before I flash a new cooked ROM, mainly because I found that through the flashing process, my varous PDA's over the years leave reminents of other ROM's can still be left in PDA?

I sometimes use original ROM's if I have to use TomTom alot, i.e. the lag is better with an original ROM?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
as far as im aware, i've been flashing cooked ROMs for the last 6months and everytime i flash i dont go back to the stock rom, i just flash each rom after the other and nver had any problems, i am a loyal fan of Dutty's ROMs, but i also try other Roms to suit my likes, we are really fortunate for these cooks, we can only but help them by reporting bugs and the likes and offer inspiration and donations. all the best:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
No need to flash back to original rom. Once new rom is flashed all aspects of previous are lost unless you use backup software and restore registry changes.

Hi guys is there a way to download android market as my phone did not come with it.

Flash one of the ROMS, I recommend Ramjet R8. or the CRC1 default.

Good luck!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyedema:
I already made a thread about the backlight, but it seems that I only have that problem while using Tomtom.

If I use tomtom without external power, the screen blanks after 30 seconds, or whatever setting is used in the energy settings of the TD2.

When driving on external power, the screen goes blank after 30 minutes (the maximum of the settings if the TD2 isn't used.

On my diamond 1, the diamond recognized tomtom as an active application, hence the screen would stay on, until the battery was empty.

Weird thing is: if I use Coreplayer, the screen does stay on, so the TD2 recognizes Coreplayer as an active application.

More people with this problem? I have the latest official HTC rom (Dutch). Did multiple hard-resets and multiple installations of TT7 (7.910 and 7.915 versions). With or without audio-fix; no matter what: screen blanks....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankkk:
Touch Incall Tweak ?

maybe is the Touch Incall tweak the solution for you? You can then manually enable backlight settings:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=488991!:

Hope this works for you, did it for me.:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyedema:
Unfortunately, it did not. I installed the app, did a soft reset and saw that TomTom was one of the applications on the list.

However, after the same period the screen went blank again. As far as I understand it, the applications on that list are the apps that should prevent the screen blanking out, when a call is coming in. But using tomtom, not always a call comes in..

So, how did you manage to get it working then..??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankkk:
Honoustly I don't know. I remember I had the same problem but after a while the screen doesn't switch off anymore.

I always have the TD2 power connected when navigating and in the settings tab-more-system-energy-advanced tab you can control the lighting settings and time outs.

Must say that I downgraded to Tomtom 7.910.9185 caus' it should work a little better... I still have the big lag and slow screen refreshing problem though.

For navigating I use Nav'n go Igo (8.3.2.80621) now. Has a lag also but works better and more stable. And uses maps of 10-3-2009!

What version are you using?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyedema:
TT 7.915.9196, but tried the .9185 also, but seemed to me that that version gave a little more lag than the newest. Newest is stable; the point of the arrow is the point that my car is, so thats ok with me.

Last thing seems that on car power the tt stays on now, but on battery power still disables the screen. Both versions, with or without the audio-fix, with or without the tweak.

O and I upgraded to the latest rom; no result either.

Then I get numbers, I press "acces" and it says Redirected List 0/5 Records

I can press "search the web"

Then I get a site: select from the search list below

... (Yess the full version :-p )

*edit*

I found it, it works now, ty!

*edit*

Should it actually do something with those codes?

Cause... Else I bought it with the wrong intentions :-p

If I re-read everything I understand that it decodes the codes,

But... If I scan it, I want to do something with it, rather then knowing the code (I can read that myself...)
