Afterbeing around here at this excelent place for a while know and flashing my Diamond to RTT's GER WM6.5 ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=519578

testing some of the Titanuim plugins,

I was still missing a way to resort the WM6.5 Startmenu in an easy way.

I know there is showaco's re/start

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=481379

but it's only running on WWE ROM's but not on other languages.

After having a look on the source I saw that I could get me a copy of basic4ppc changing the needed pathes and recompile the thing but what I relly want to have is a real complete graphical way to reorder my Start Menu.

That was the point to start up the project.

So here is the Idea and some informations what is already realized.

Idea:

Grap all needed information from either filesystem and registry

redraw the Startmenu within the app

Moving Icons from to new locations

Moving Icons from to Folders

Changing Icons

Creating new Folders

The complete "Thing" will be done in C# using manged code were possible.

The following tasks are already done

1. Graping in information from Filesystem Startmenu\Programs folder comparing to Registry HKLM\..\Shell\Start\StartInfo as I recognized that on different ROM's ther might be a *.lnk file on the Filesystem but no RegKey for it and the other way round. In there there will be a list with "Startmenu object" list with all needed data like RegKey values, Icon, isFile or isDirectory ...

2. Grabing information on all entries that are hosted in the Settings folder as these are handeled in a different way. Finally I'm able to grap all those informations like panel name i.e Settings->System->Power on a WWE ROM would be "Einstellungen->System->Stromversorgung" on a GER ROM from cplmain.cpl

3. Creating a Hexagon Grid from the Dimension read from StartMenu_GridScene_XXXxXXX.cpr and placeing Icons on the same locations as on the Startmenu itself

The 2 remaining task now will be to bring the Idea of moving the entries around from

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/CFIconMenu.aspx

and having the ability of sliding the complete panel from here

http://expression.microsoft.com/en-us/dd279543.aspx

together.

There is one task a still have no solution at the moment. On leaving the application all information will be written to the registry and / or filesystem but it seems that there is no way of haven the changes to take effect on the "real" Startmenu without having reboot the Device.

Sorry Admins if missposted in wrong category work is still in progress and Thread should have been better placed in Q&A

Screenshot of the GUI hexgrid programmattically created and drawn to application form (Icon postition exactly the same as in Startmenu)

I've been using My Mobiler for the past 6 months now... version 1.23 (which I believe is the most current. But the lag seems to be getting worse as time goes on - or perhaps I'm just getting less patient.

Anyway... is there a faster program that does what My Mobiler does? What are the other options?

Thanks!

Pocket Controller Pro v6

Hello,

I have installed ODSHO Weather on my Touch Diamond(Sprint) and wanted to remove it. The application says that it was removed but everytime I press the power button once the device has gone on standby I get a notification that kpweather.exe cannot be found. I have searched the registry and no luck. Please help!

Thanks!

Great questions, especially #6. I can't answer any of them exept #5, so I'll have to watch this thread along with you! :o

#5, go to call log in the phone dialer and there is a menu option to save to contacts. If you want to save it to a pre-existing contact....you will have to add a question #14 to your list :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VNMenIeu:
PhoneX can do these two.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Pro:
Thank you. I'm sure there are a lot of people, who would like to know these answers too... I hope that there are people here on xda-developers forum, who knows needed answers...

It's almost the same solution I offered for existing contact(edit contact and copy number from there). Maybe it's possible somehow to add in menu "Copy number"? (or I just have too much hope)

I don't know how about you, but when I choose "Save to contacts", it opens all contacts + "New contact" list...

Thanks for your answer. Yes, it can, just as Inesoft Phone. I've installed both of it. And then removed both in the same day. IMHO, they add some good design, but hardly can pretend on a lot more useful then original dialer. (Just for future messages, to have this thread clean, I say to myself and others(for the off-chance): I would not want to discuss any soft here, so please, let it be only tries to answer to these questions... thank you in advance)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
BRING ON THE QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!! :D

1 - I don't know.

2 - AEB Button Plus has such a feature.

3, 4, 5, 6, 12 - I use PhoneEx sorry.

7 - Never heard of it. Upgrade your device to R3A and try again.

8 - I believe there is a text file in the Windows folder. I am not 100% sure though.

9 - Yes. There is a reg tweak, but I can't find it. Someone else should have it.

10 - Never had that problem. Are you using a custom ROM?

11 - I can see the screen very good in the sun, because I use a screen protector with anti-glare. Buy one and be amazed.

13 - It is normal.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VNMenIeu:
PhoneEX is way more useful than org. dialer
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhyBe:
I've been using the PhoneEx trial for a few days and it doesn't do #5 and #6. If any workaround involves tons of keypresses and program changing (during the call) to accomplish, then it fails. I think the OP is looking for a quick way of accomplishing these things during a call. Going to the notes application during a call only partly works. In order to actually use that number you may have jotted down in notes, you have to find the file and call the number from the notes file...not very elegant. There should be a means of jotting down numbers while in the dialer (without sending out tones causing your voicemail to go crazy) so that you may call or save them during or afterwards.

Also, I may be wrong but, how do you add additional numbers to a contact without copying and then going into edit contact then pasting? For example, how do you add a home number to a contact that already has a work number without manually going into edit contact and adding it. There should be a "merge with existing contact" feature within the dialer menus.

Not bashing PhoneEx, because it is pretty good otherwise. But, I am a stickler for convenience features. I hate tons of button pressing and navigation to accomplish simple things.

If you don't mind I'm asking, why do you want to check your phone uptime? Do you have a time usage restriction or something?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Pro:
Just for fun :) My work computer can be running for month or so... Sometimes it's interesting for how much your X1 is powered on. For example, if I see any bugs on it, I question myself: "How long does this thing work? Maybe it's time for an SR?". If I found that it's only a day - I would be very curious. And if it's already a week - I do an SR without any additional thoughts ;) That's my answer ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VNMenIeu:
Well, if it is for fun and you don't want to install other app, then i think there is a stop watch in your fone. Turn it on and minimize it, there you go you have uptime...lolz

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oblika:
As I was trying to create a swap file on my Hero I noticed that both mkswap and swapon are missing. HTC might have removed them from the ROM.

So I was wondering. Is is possible to take these binaries out from a, let's say, Magic ROM and put them in Hero. In theory it should work because of the same architecture. So If anyone is willing to share these binaries, I would give it a try:D

Can you look inside your Heros and let me know if this is just on mine. (Of course you must root it, mine done without a problem).

Have fun with hero!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dayzee:
Aren't swap apps always hacks? Thought you'd only get that in cooked ROM

Daisy xxx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oblika:
Makes sense. However as android being linux, it could be done just by adding the binaries and the appropriate libs. In theory it should work. Someone should try it:)

I'm not so up-to-date, are there any cooked ROMs for Hero (I'd flash mine, but I would like to keep the senseUI)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -nickx-:
Nothing yet
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oblika:
ok...

I have decided to start editing the Htc Hero wiki page here on xda-devs, so I'd be grateful if anyone could help. For example: for cooked roms and stuff like that. I'm already adding rooting methods so other users don't need to search in the forum, just go to the wiki page. So if anyone is interested, please help me edit the wiki page. (Oh this was a little of-topic:S - I'll make new thread)

Peace!

Hello, what I want is to create playlists (m3u) for poketmusic player in the pc that can be used in my htc touch.

I tired to do it with winamp, but the directory of the songs ist'n the same in the PC and in the pda (in the pc it's g:/mp3/song.mp3 and in the pda it's /storagecar/mp3/song.mp3 for example)...and it's a pain to make playlists in the pda!

any solution?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danrooney:
Hi everyone,

I have recently upgraded from a TYTN II to a Hero. I have been using WinMo for years, so it's taking me a fair amount of adjustment to get used to Android. Overall, I am impressed with it.

I have a couple of issues, that are driving me insane :-

1. Is it possible to explore the Hero through Windows Explorer, like WinMo ?

If not, how can I get files to/from the Hero ? I have seen SugarSync, but surely there is a more seamless solution than this.

2. SMS Tones & Volume

Is it possible to select the SMS Tones (MP3), and increase the volume of notifications ? It seems there is ring volume, media volume but not notifications.

3. Removable Disk

The Hero appears as a removable disk in Win Explorer...can anything be done with this ? It needs to be formatted but I am loathe to try it.

Before anyone comments, I have spent the past 3 days going through all of the forums on XDA Dev looking for a solution.

My phone has been rooted...for what good it does !!

Thanks in advance,

Dan.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
answers:

1) No. you can explore the sd card as shown in the manual and QSG, but you can not access the phone memory.

2) notifications uses the same volume as ringtones. in fact, in settings when you edit the ringer volume it tells you this on screen.

As for setting you own mp3 tones as notifications, this has been done in other threads, generally called 'custom notifications'. I am sure you will find it if you search again.

3) you shouldn't need to format it at all, as long as you have followed the instruction in the manual and quick start guide properly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danrooney:
Thanks !

Hi Rhedgehog,

That's really helpfull. Although a strong case of RTFM :D ! I had already worked out how to get custom notifications on there, so that wasn't an issue.

i have a vogue with the newest nfsfan rom. i cant seem to get headphones to work on it.. am i doing something wrong? i have a mini usb to 2.5 jack, but my headphones are 3.5 so i went to the store and bought a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter and pluged it in and nothing. ive tried plugging it in to a couple of different headphones and nothing works. both adapters are brand new.

anyone got any ideas?
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
You can't use a mini-USB adapter. You'll actually need an adapter with the proprietary HTC plug on it. They're all over eBay for very cheap. I got mine for like $1.95, but it broke down in less than a year. You can buy HTC branded ones for a little bit more. Probably worth it, in my experience, although now I'm all about the bluetooth audio.

I am waiting to get my T-Mobile US TP2.

For those of you that already have a TP2, non-T-Mobile US, can you say if the camera has a "pre-focus" capability as on most digital cameras?

I am looking to see if you can press the button to take a picture but only set the focus and the press the button to really take the picture.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gunggu:
press it anywhere on the screen to get the focus...., well kind a like that...or you could just watch the video here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTszfJJLimU
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mmeyer4663:
From my readings of the manual, that look/sounds like touch focus where you are touching the screen to select a different location to focus on, which sounds link a nice feature.

The question I have is, when you touch the screen for touch focus, does it actually initiate the auto focus at that time or do you still have to press the shutter button/icon to initiate the focus and then immediately take the picture?

On most digital cameras today, you can press the shutter button half way to focus and press fully to actually take the picture. I was hoping the TP2 also had something like this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gunggu:
well, u can also see in the video that it doesnt work like that, so when u push the soft camera button, it will automatically focus and shot it...sorry mate
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mad_tunes:
It does on mine. when i touch an area of the screen which isnt a button, it shows the focal area changes and focusses on it. So, you can focus on something which isnt in the middle of your shot etc. I cant find anything like a focus lock though...so you cant focus on something, move the phone and then take a shot with the same focus set-it'll re-meter everything.

'tunes
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mmeyer4663:
That's a good thing.

With the way you have described touch focus, you CAN pre focus and then when ready, hit the shutter icon to take the picture without the additional delay of auto focus when you press the shutter icon! Good!

Thanks!

UPDATE: From the TMO TP2 manual:

To use Touch Focus:

1. Set the Camera to Photo or Contacts Picture mode.

2. Touch the area on the screen that you want to focus. The Touch Focus indicator ( ) positions itself on the selected area.

Note If you tap outside the effective focus area, a white box appears to indicate the area where you can use Touch Focus.

3. Touch (Shutter ICON here) to activate auto-focus on the selected area and take the photo. See “Auto-focus” in this chapter for more information.

This implies that the touch focus only let's you designate where to focus. When you touch the shutter ICON, it still initiates the auto focus function and then takes the picture.
