I hate to sound like a broken record to you guys but READ THE FAIR USE ACT! Your theme does not "copy the palm interface", it graphically adapts the g1 interface as a parody of the palm pre. You have not infringed on anybody's copyright, regardless of what they say. If your interface was a wholesale copy, or made profit, or was created as something other than a personal research project, it might be a problem. But it wasn't, and so they don't have a damn leg to stand on

I say again to the theme creators of xda: You CANNOT be sued for being visually similar to another OS. You must use COPYRIGHTED material in EXACT duplicate. And unless the little up arrow thingy is a palm copyrighted mark, they don't have have ANYTHING.

Jesus, I don't have a problem with people saying they "just don't want the hassle", but admitting to having committed a wrong when it is clear that you have not is just STUPID!

I'm sorry if I sound angry, I'm more pissed at palm than at the devs, but if you take a moment to read the relevant legal code, you'll realize you are safe and in the clear.

Also, for god's sake, contact the Free Software Foundation.

Know your RIGHTS!

[EDIT]

Also, for those of you interested in WHY THE !#%#@ palm referenced the DMCA as the relevant copyright law, it's because they have no idea what's actually being infringed. Ask them for a section, and they'll go "uh, um...hmmmm....". Every big company pulls out the DMCA when they want to club a small dev, but none of them actually understand the law. You aren't violating what they say you are violating.

Like i said thats why ill have no issue posting it. just as long as the name which is copyrighted does get changed to say pawsucks or something to that effect.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] sha.goyjo:
To be honest (calmed down a bit now), I think the issue is the confusion of "palm pre theme". Grammatically, it's ambiguous. Here's how you could solve it without removing the clear identifiers:

Palm Pre Style Theme for Android

WebOS Style Theme for Android

Palm Pre LookAlike for Android

They can't make you get rid of the name. It's simply and identifier. What the letter breaks down to is ragging on your grammatical usage implying that the theme is produced by palm. Palm Pre theme is ambiguous enough for them to say "we didn't make it!" and throw a fit. I don't think you need to remove the words "Palm Pre". You should be good with adding modifiers (and thus not confusing the hell out of people).

Just trying to clear things up. Not that a letter written like that makes it easy.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] cal3thousand:
I agree. In the letter, it states that they are trying to protect their brand (understandable) from confusion. They don't want people who don't really understand Android/WebOS differences to be confused to whether or not this is precisely PALM®.

One... changing the name to clear it up. Either the suggested above or a completely different name. My suggestions POM PHREE (cuz its free), Schwetty Palms, Android Palmer (cuz its a mixture like Arnold Palmers)

Two... Remove things that are trademarked logos

Three... after that, screw them... nothing is being sold, no profit made, what will they sue for?

Using sliding panels NRG Topbar on 6.5 NRG. I want to customize a couple of things if someone could help me that would be great...

1) Carrier text

I have tmobile and it says "Get More..." for the carrier at the top of the clock. Can I change this to custom text?

2) I'd like to change the panels to a blue color instead of transparent; I've seen screenshots with this.

3) I'd like to change the font of the clock.

I've done 1 and 2 before on 6.1 but I did not back it up and I can't remember how I did it... I think it used MortScript but I'm not sure....

I did my best to search the forums but I couldn't find a solution to my problem! Sorry if this is a repeat!

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Hey...all of it looks DO-ABLE, not necessarily Easy, but DO-ABLE.

For #1, I believe that the Carrier text is located in a res.dll or other dll file...so that is a toughie, but I dont know how to change the carrier names exactly. If you really want to, go into the CPR file and COMMENT OUT (using <-- and -->) the part that deals with the text for the carrier name...then replace it with a new piece of XML, practcally the EXACT SAME except, name it a different ID (like Text2) or something. Then go into the registry (HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Chome/CClock) and add a string there...make its name the same as in the CPR, and make its Value TMOBILE....THAT SHOULD WORK, but I am no expert at that, so MAKE SURE TO BACKUP!!!!

For #2 TO make the panels Blue, you are going to have to get BronzeRes.dll from the Windows Directory, open it with PE Explorer or similar DLL resource editing tool. Then replace the resource that is the transparent panel background with one of your liking...there may be premade ones out there already, I am not sure...but searching may help (although you have already searched)...

For #3 I think..EMPHASIS ON I THINK... you need to take your own font that you want, put it along with the other fonts (in the Windows Directory)...somehow you have to sign it for the Device (that I don't know) so that it will recognize its existance, then you have to edit the CPR file...so that where it has the TEXT data for the TIME, you edit the name of the Font Class corresponding to your font, and how it is registered to the phone....

For all of these solutions, i am pretty sure they SHOULD work, but then again, i am no expert with this phone (yet)...but good luck...remember to modify with SAFETY (backup backup backup!!!)
[HTC Excalibur] dermann:
everything that your asking can be done right from your .cpr. lots of people have asked the same thing be for, it's just the matter of typing just the right words into the search engine. try looking at this.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529838

as for the carrier name, that's a little odd that it won't display the right one. maybe try "connection setup" to see if that helps.

yes, always do this. i have backups for every rom that comes out cause not every rom is the same. even if it's by the same cooker.

Does anybody know how to place a Blackstone in diagnostic mode?

I am currently running the RTM version of Windows 7 x64, which may be a stumbling block.

I have tried the usual codes, and installed DMRouter, which works but doesn't appear to do anything?

My ActiveSync/WMDC connection works perfectly but I cannot put the phone into diagnostic mode and have it recognised by the PC.

I have searched everywhere but I cannot find any information nor a guide.

Can somebody please help?
[Touch HD General] Dazeon:
I'll assume nobody knows then... :p

Could somebody at least point me in the right direction, perhaps another forum or experts exchange? :)
[Touch HD General] mightbme:
According to the Blackstone service manual, you need a diagnostic sd card...not really sure what that means.

Google "Blackstone service manual" and you should find it.

Is there something in particular you're trying to do?

Friends,

Someone is having problems with new drivers of Bluetooth to A2DP and Handsfree on Windows Mobile 6.5?

I already test with WM 6.1 (Onyx and TEss), no problems. But this problems is reproducible on versions WM 6.5 (WWE650XM2D and Onyx 5).

When i play music with my phone to A2DP protocol or try answer a call with hands-free, the sound is very noisy and seems cutted.

Any ideia? Can i change only Bluetooth driver to old version?

Sorry for my badly english.
[Touch GSM General] paulocar:
I use my elfin as a mp3 player from time to time, I use to have a sony ericsson walkman phone before, and the sound thru a motorola S9 headset was very good, but not in the HTC, the sounds was too hard in the bass, so I connect the wired headset that comes with the HTC phone, without this you can't access the audio booster application on the phone, then I set the sound properly(if I don't recall bad, there is a reduced bass profile or something), then I unplugged the wired headset, turn on the bluetooth again, and voila! the sound was a lot better, try that, it may help.
[Touch GSM General] fabcal:
try this solution

you can use advanced config tool to change bitbool. I have tested same solution in wm6.5. You can set min bitpool, max bitpool and bitpool to 40 or 48

but if you use external gps bluetooth at same time you need to overclock cpu up to 252 Mhz using omapclock. You can find more information with google.
[Touch GSM General] dneto:
Hi Fabcal,

Interesting your trick. :D I'll test this tomorrow, when i go to work.

I have the same scenario, AD2P/Handfree and GPS Bluetootth.

Can you send your configs to Min and Max Bit poll? Can you send me your OmapClock? Broken link on frewareppc. :$
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andypa1:
Hey guys.

Strange post perhaps, but Iv always loved my HTC Devices.

So tomorrow my Touch Pro 2 will arrive, when I told my friends this and showed them the pictures. They laughed and said I was just fighting against getting an Iphone.

I believe I have made an informed decision, mostly because I can choose what hardware I want, (in this case a proper keyboard and bigger screen). And also because I can use so many free apps for WM6.1 that the iphone users have to pay for.

So please can you give me some more ammunition so that I can stop losing the arguments about why the iphone fails. Cheers.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] imperiallight:
You cant really use the bigger screen size argument. Just a beautiful input device and ability to customize it to the hilt.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aragorn771:
Well there's always the 1 step behind the times arguement...I mean Iphones aren't as hi-tech as many of HTC's phones...oh...and you can change your batteries or add memory with cards...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] imperiallight:
You are getting confused with almost any manufacturer apart from HTC.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
Iphones can't multitask, not even the new ones.

The screen isn't as "responsive" as the iphone, but you can use a stylus for precision (like making a doodle with the stylus :p) and if you live in a cold climate, you can wear gloves and still use your phone. With capacitive screens like the iphone you gave to take your gloves off. Really annoying if you use them.

You don't have to jailbreak it to get many of the things working. And supposedly flash is coming to Windows Mobile first if I remember correctly (by first I mean before the iphone).

You can use it with any network you want (if it's unlocked) and if it's a branded version, you can unlock it without fear of bricking it after an upgrade.

That's just what comes to mind.

Oh, the screen is .1 inches bigger. Not really enough to make an arguement. But it does have more than twice the resolution, which is a goodo point as images can be clearer and reading texts won't tire your eyes as much.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aisorik:
Why do you care what your friends think?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andypa1:
Because I constantly seek validation and enjoy being right? Im not an armchair psychologist.

I can't stand the smugness of the iphone user trying to shove the latest nose flute app in my face, "do you have Excel?" I ask.

"Yes" replies the iphone user as they connect to the apps store and pay £15 for the most essential of software on a business phone.

I think my biggest reason for liking the touch pro 2 is that it just looks stunning with the screen on. Everyone has seen the iphone now, and I like to be different.

Cheers for the replies guys.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
Yes, there are just too many iPhones on the street - no "WOW" factor these days. I find the pro2 can turn quite a few heads, especially when I pull out the keyboard and start typing... mind you, someone asked me once where I bought my iPhone with a keyboard!! :eek:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] weenween:
The IPhone is too common. It also means you surrender too much rights to Apple. They control what you should use. They ignore you and work at their decided schedule. "Cut and paste" is a new feature -- only idiots will believe that.

"There is no vulnerability." -- between Iphone 3G and 3GS, Apple plugged 48 holes.

The battery overheats fast. The screen wears out fast. The material used to maufacture the IPhone is cheap stuff.

IPhone is totally hopeless without connectivity. At the least, TP2 can still be useful.

The famous Appstore! -- How many apps do you really use? Many of the apps are "fractured" because Apple does not allow the developers to add in some features for fear of opening up their closed ecology.

You need more?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
Agree with above that the App Store is overrated. I have an iPod Touch, and I have about 2 or 3 useful 3rd party apps. Everything else are just time wasters.

I have a couple reasons why I wouldn't buy an fruitphone.

1. Useless homescreen. The lockscreen shows the date/time. Once unlocked, you just have grids of icons. You have counters that show number of new messages, but no previews. Notifications of new messages and appointments really suck.

2. Terrible multi tasking. Let's say I was wasting my time with a game on my fruitphone while listening to music. You can forward or rewind tracks by double pressing the one button to bring up the music controls. But you can't go into the music app to change your music and go back to the game! That's just dumb.

3. Internet browsing. You can't open links in new tabs! No text reflow. That means you have to use landscape mode if you want to zoom in to read the text and you don't want to scroll horizontally. Also, no full screen view in browser. You always have the top/bottom bars.

4. Low resolution display. Text can't easily be read in zoomed out web pages. Photos look terribly pixelated.

Why do you have sheeps as friends... :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shazzy84:
People have posted some really good points on this thread like TP2 can

- multitask apps

- a monster text machine

- a monster email machine

- a full keyboard

- two mics with noise cancelling abilities

- two speakers for better loudspeaker calls

- better wvga screen (better resolution screen)

- Touch flow 3d is so so smooth(people friendly)

- excellent notifications screen

- better calling options

- better word processor apps like power point, word, excel

- a crap crap crap load of more software for Wndows mobile than iphone will ever have

-the device looks better IMO

But you cant really fault the iphone that much. It is a very pretty with better processor, same ram, bigger onboard harddrive, 3.5mm jack. The OS for both devices are totally different. But in all honesty WM is better than iphone OS BUT Android is better than WM and IS the future of the mobile phone generation....FYI
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] imperiallight:
I agree with the above post. Check out the N900 phone too, its OS is a pseudo linux desktop and its mobile front is very finger friendly looking at youtube.

I am looking at the TP2 myself despite having an iphone. The iphone isn't a very good organizer partly because of its notification/background app. problem, I still haven't got used to the soft keyboard on a 3.5'' device after a year of use - hinders alot of communication and productivity for me personally, the resolution of the screen affects my PDF reading and the lack of bluetooth signalling stops me adding mice/keyboards.

This forum also offers a lot of ROM's too. Although there is a lot to be said for the iphone (its best software comes supplied and the rest can easily be downloaded from the appstore/cydia mostly for free or next to nothing) and no doubt I will have to encounter the same annoyances i had with my touch diamond/kaiser back in Winmo land. I have no doubt for most leisure users who have mastered the soft iphone keyboard that its probably the most fun and beneficial phone for them though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] crazy talk:
yes, who could forget about a good ol' fashioned IPhone bashing thread.

you shouldn't let others opinions have an effect on what you want. different strokes for different folks. it's not like either the Tp2 or the IPhone are bad phones.

yes, you can make fun of them for not having the ability to multitask, not being able to sideload applications, interchangeable batteries etc.

just remember it's not wise to throw stones from a glass house.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aaronvlee:
just ask your friend to change something on your phone, then you do it...tell them to type something, then you type it, ask them what ap they have, then you go get it for free...I do it ALL DAY to my friends that have it, they hate pulling their iphones out now lol. The best is "can you tether? Yeah! For free? AH!!! YOUR PHONE IS CRAP! lol HTC wins. BUT............the iPhone does kill every other device in UI processing, hands down which IMO is a HUGE player in satisfaction. If you can do with 10-30fps UI, HTC with TF3D would be the better choice.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] martinjclarke:
a huge issue for me was free internet tethering. I think with the new 3GS you can do this - but it costs an EXTRA £14.95 per month to O2 for the lowest deal! What a ripoff. That and the pull out keyboard are prob the main things for me.

The resolution is horrid.

The sound from the headphone is soft.

Voice command from BT definitely not working.

Before you upgrade, PLEASE, read a bit. Rushing in is a sure fire way to brick your Hermes.

ive noticed a weird thing goin on with my phone...the screen stays on while chargin and it also randomly turns on while in stand by mode. I cant rly see any pattern in it...its toaly random. When i press the power button in order to go into the stand by mode, it goes back on...but again this happens only sometimes. Anyone knows what it could b?

Ill rly appreciate any help from u guys...

for the screen staying on while charging: go to: settings - all settings - system - power - Advanced. There you have "on external power". The 2 settings for you to change as you want.

With the release of various new kitchens for the Herald/Wing, I'm sure there are going to be many newbie cooks with many newbie questions. I'm creating this thread as a place to ask our remaining Chefs questions in a central location to avoid them being bombarded in the various other threads. I define a "Chef" as those cooks who have released many flavors of ROMs, so presumably they know what they are doing, and thay are still cooking for the herald/wing... aka Ivanmmj, Ace10134, Apreichner, IllConcepts, etc. No disrespect intended to those great cooks who have released ROMs in the past, but have gone on to other projects, aka toadlife, ttran001, itje, Papamopps, Dutty, ICP, KidnamedAlbert, ginolin, and others... if you are still around, feel free to participate.

Please limit your questions to issues with ROM COOKING. Take a look at Ace's Guide to Cooking before asking. Then if all else fails...

ASK THE CHEF

Please state which kitchen you are using, which WinMo build, and as much detail as possible. If you get the answer, please update your post so that it is not answered multiple times.

Ok... I guess I'll ask the first question. I asked this in Ivan's SuperJustKitchen thread because it happened with his kitchen, but I'll ask it here for all the other roaming chefs and WinMo experts.

I cooked a spanish Rom for wm6.5 23016, using the default setting and adding a few items like voice command and .NETCF 3.7. The build was successful as well as the flash. Everything looks OK except that CABs wont install and Themes will not apply.

Ivan says he's looking into it, but I know he's busy. IllConcepts says he encountered this in one of his ROM builds but did not say how he resolved it. I would like to investigate the cause myself, but I'm not sure where to start. Can anyone tell me which program actually does the install of CAB files (when double clicked) so I can verify the file association in registry for CAB files. Also, how exactly are themes applied when clicked in the Today settings panel.
