Howdo, my first ROM release and it's basically a port of Drizzy's excellent superlight hero rom with a little light themeing from the smartphone france ROM.

Superlight Hero v3 (updated to v3)

All props should go to Dizzy and whoever made the graphics for the launcher 'handle', I just put the two together and converted it to run on the Sapphire.

Drizzy's Dream ROM:

Smartphone france ROM (nicked some graphics from here)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532902

With this rom you get all the good stuff of the Hero ROMs (except Rosie) including exchange integration, facebook / twitter integration, nice looking messaging / mail apps etc etc, with a nice dark launcher tab.

Here's the steps I took to make this ROM (incase other newb rom cookers want some tips:

Download smartphone france rom
extract /system/app/Launcher.apk from smartphone france rom
extract /res/drawable_port and /res/drawable_land folders from the launcher.apk we just got and save them somewhere.

Download Drizzy Rom
extract it
open /data/app_s/Launcher.apk
insert the /res/drawable_land & /res/drawable_port we saved earlier, overwriting the ones in the current Launcher.apk
zip up the Drizzy ROM again

run the rom through my handy 'dream->sapphire' conversion script from here:

And that's it.

As with Drizzy's rom you'll have to partition your SD card, see his thread for details.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy_Drage:
32A or 32B mate?

Also I'm assuming we should partition our sd card for this as it says you should on Drizzys page?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] joaosousa:
This is for 32A or 32B devices, every new rom's should have a description about this...

Thanks for your work! ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Deicist:
sorry, it's 32b...OP updated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy_Drage:
Ok I'll give it a whirl, should we have the 3 partitions on our sd cards?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Deicist:
yup, updated that in the OP as well ;)

I don't have an access point to connect to, but wifi switches on, I can detect access points (all secured unfortunately) and I can switch it off without the 'stalling' thing I've seen on some roms.

I currently use S2U2 on my WM6.1 ROMs but have enabled only 2 features:

- Slide 2 Unlock

- Random Wallpapers on Unlock Screen

I have found on 6.5 ROMs it is built-in Slide To Unlock so there is no need for S2U2's bulky software. However one feature which i am missing the most is S2U2's random wallpapers.

I would be grateful if someone can find a solution for this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MichelDiamond:
I don't know, if you use titanium - but if you do:

You could install JMLToday and JMLLibrary ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=540413 ) and choose a Skin which uses "weatherbackgroundchanger" from the JMLLibrary.

It changes when weather changes - I think that's sometimes very random :) You can use each pictures you want for each weather state.

If you like JMLToday - you can make a request there to add a "randombackgroundchanger" - and then we can have a look.

I'm using my HTC Universal since 2 years ago and it was already secondhand.

Does anyone know how to repair or reset the status of the part that makes it rotate? (sorry if I'm not understandable :( )

Thank you in advance,

Regards.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Sorry, you were not clear enough. What are you trying to achieve?

Do you mean the hinge part is broken and the LCD cannot be rotated? In which case hinge will need to be replaced, but they are difficult to find, sometimes they sell on eBay or you can purchase parts off someone selling his broken machine for parts, then use a Service Manual for disassembly instructions.

If you mean the screen orientation does not change when you rotate the screen, then you need to open the LCD side and check for a small magnet next to a screen, as it is the part responsible for rotation. However, sometimes the problem like that can be caused by software, so you need to be sure which one it is.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Ersill:
Thanks for your exhaustive reply! Yes, it's an hardware problem. I want not to be in condition of not rotating the display, so I'm looking for a solution for the hinge. Something I can do on my own.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
What is exactly wrong with your hinge? How is it broken? Pictures would be helpful.

Dear xda-developpers and topaz lovers,

i used to have imates in the past couple of years, and i used to use Jeyo mobile companion to manage my sms, contacts, backgrounds and mostly everything from the pc software.

and i found out that jmc only works on htc d1, not d2, can someone give me a better alternative software or tell me how to make the jmc recognise the topaz?

regards,
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] fisha21:
I'm currently using Jeyo mobile companion 2 with my D2. All I did was install the program, and connect my phone. No ideas how you can get it to work, but I thought I'd point out that it should work with the D2!

Hey guys, i installed last night the Weather widget and set it up in my homescreen. So this morning when i wake up the phone is dead, pressing menu or holding down power button does nothing. Thank God when i pulled out the battery and put it back again the phone comes alive. So i noticed that if the widget is running, as soon the screen timeout kicks in, the phone dies. Right now i disabled the widget and the phone is working fine.

Anyone else had this problem ?

which weather widget? there are several

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogatsby:
I am running WM 6.5, build 23008 on custom rom. It's great, but there is one big problem. I don't get the WM 6.5 style finger friendly popup menus anymore. I am getting the old classic style plain and small 6.1 menus. Is there a way to change this? I assume it's in a registry setting, but when I made a change to the registry, the old style menu just got bigger.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjm34:
The menus are set by the theme, so I suppose you're just using an older theme that didn't contain the new menu settings. I am using a 6.1 theme on WM6.5 myself and I'm getting the old-style menus (I prefer to have them smaller), so I guess changing to a WM6.5 theme should do the trick.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogatsby:
Thanks. Yes, it was the theme.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
Hi all If you already follow my Thread of" Pocket Gforce" you know that i stop working on it because of the lack of time.

Atm igot myself whit some spare time and whit lots of requests to continue the project.

So i start developing a new Pocket Gforce (v2) that is fully customizable and works in any Resolution(VGA, WVGA, etc and Landscape or Portrait) as long you got a proper skin.

This is where you come in.

This is the skin that i made and i will explain how you can make one.

BIG UPDATE

The "basic.png" is the skin that i create (i advice to use paint.net or other program to make the skins using layers)

The "basic.ini" is the configuration of the skin like this

//Starts Here (don't change the lines order)

Basic Skin (skin name)

Landscape=1 (0= portrait 1= landscape)

Gforce X axis

dial_enable=1 (is thedial visible 1/0)

dial_scale=1 (scale in G)

dial_x=324 (x coordinate (remember uper left corner is x0 y0))

dial_y=360 (y coordinate )

dial_l=80 (length)

dial_z=0 (where is zero value)

dial_a=29 (aperture of the dial)

dial_color_r=255 (dial red color 0~255)

dial_color_g=255 (dial green color 0~255)

dial_color_b=255 (dial blue color 0~255)

digital_enable=0 (digital value enable 1/0)

digital_X=300

digital_y=250

digital_size=30

digital_color_r=0

digital_color_g=0

digital_color_b=255

graph_enable=0 (graph enable 1/0)

graph_x=0

graph_y=0

graph_Width=0 (width of the graph)

graph_Height=0 (height of the graph)

graph_max=1 (max value of graph)

graph_show_max=0 (show max value or not 1/0)

graph_color_r=0

graph_color_g=0

graph_color_b=0

graph_frame_enable=0 (show frame around graph 1/0)

graph_frame_color_r=0

graph_frame_color_g=0

graph_frame_color_b=0

graph_background_enable=0 (show background on graph or transparency 1/0)

graph_background_color_r=0

graph_background_color_g=0

graph_background_color_b=0

// the file continues for the Y Z T and Speed dials (at the moment speed dont work)

(Midle dial is "S", left one is "Y", right is "Z" and bottom is "X"

And this is the part that show all the skins that you have in the skins folder and where you can change them. To access it push middle button or open "Pocket gForce 2 Options"

Unbaliveble only one person post something and actually no one contact me about skins or beta testing so i suppose no one really cares... but i had 1215downloads of it

So if the community don't want to help i just gonna sell my project as i was always for open source but...

Any way the program is now working whit the Sensors and in the next week i will test whit the gps part.

So do you really care/like about Pocket Gforce ? What to see Pocket Gforce 2 at max capacity, the way you like and above all FREE?

So Start making some skins...

Please keep up the good work, if you received no big feedback for your apps, this might be just because the people are happy with it and got no problems. I see most of the replies for any application is based on errors and bugs.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
Hi all i made some major updates as the Sensores are now working and i implemented a graph system.

Check the skins i made so you can understand the possibility of this program, and ppl plz contribute whit some skins tips or critics cuz i need some incentive to keep it free ;)

It should work but back then the sensors where not activated, check the latest versions, but as the originals skins don't have the proper size you will not use the full size of your screen.

I suppose your right but no comments at all is very frustrating...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mistersingh:
I have downloaded it. I will reply after the use.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] linkus:
Ah thats awesome :D

I love the version befor, hmm i dont remember the version number but i truly love it!

One thing i think you implement or change is a tab or mode that the speedometer is the same size as the overall g-meter.

That i think would be nice :D

Just PM me if you need any testing!

//linkus

EDIT

I noticed one thing, I have SPB Mobile Shell, on a Touch Diamond, and when i start the app and it change the display to landscape, it wont change back to regular mode after exit.

Cheers

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] thedeathspirit:
hi !!

i've never used your app, but i can test the last version if you want !!

I'm searching such an app for a long time, because i can't buy me a Nissan GTR !! (To understand the joke, ask google to show you the computer screen of that car !!)

Have a nice day !!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gilberti69:
love the v1 app but couldn't get it to show in MPH, so thought i'd give the new version a try. Looking good so far but the screen doesn't fill properly on my TouchHD. Also, can't find a way to exit the app, other than taskmanager which leaves the screen in landscape mode. Thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
As i say there is a need to some one to make some skins for other resolutions so my one skins fit best on VGA devises, wi dont you try to make some skins and post them here for other also? And dont forget that is not only backgroud is also what you whant to display.

Actualy i forgot that not all devises have the Dpad so my new vertion will be totaly TouchScreen controled, sorry for that.

Any way the new vertion will be release next monday or so whit the GPS working.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gilberti69:
I've no idea how to make a skin, but if you give me some pointers, or links to tutorials i'll have a go, I mean, how hard can it be?? LOL (ducks)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
I supose my explanation on the first post is a ls some what confuse, so here is a temporaty tourial as i supose i can make a video and post in youtube

I recommend you grab a copy of the free Paint.Net whit as me tool "magic wand" for select parts of images and have multi layer capability. There are lots of tutorials about it.

1. google some gauge dials like this one for example

2. find some nice background for it

3. use Paint.net and the tool "magic wand" to cut only the dial (normally you need to adjust the % of the tool to get the part you need.

4. you wil get a clean image of the dial without the background, remove also anything you dont want, like needles if it there is any or any text you dont need.

5. make a new image whit you device resolution whit the background

6. Put a new layer on top of the background and copy/past the dial in the spot you want

7. repeat the last step fot the rest of the dials

8. save it as "test.png" MUST BE PNG

9. Open one of the already created skins like "basic.ini"

(check post one for a explanation of the ini file)

10. disable anything that you dont use (like some dials digitals or graphs)

11. start putting coordinates and sizes (use paint.net to get the coordnates for some poits like the center of the dial.

12. save it as "test.png"

13. copy the "test.png" and "test.ini" to the skins folder

14. enjoy
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gilberti69:
Ok, thought I'd try something simple to start with so i just made an HD version of your basic skin. I wanted to put the speed on there too, but it shows as huge 'g' numbers so i just turned it off in the ini. Once i figure out the concept of skinning properly i'll come up with some others (i prefer a portrait style). Incidentally i the middle dial is 'T' not 'S' as stated in your instructions. Couldn't figure out how to make the dials eliptical rather than round either.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gilberti69:
I think i'm getting the hang of it. Tweaked gfAnalizer for the HD and created a new skin from scratch. Let me know what you think, obviously the speedo isn't working but i've left it enabled anyway.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
Nice start whit the skins, im going to put the layer files of basic so ppl can use them easy.

Im compiling users skin on then 3post, after some more skins appear :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gilberti69:
Just been for a test drive :)

There are a few things i think this app needs:

Exit option :p

Calibrate or Zero option when installed in car.

0-60 time which starts when car moves off and stops when reaching 60.

Log facility, ideally with gps info stored for overlay on google maps :D

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
D-Pad only, will be fixed in the next release

Already on the Pocket Gforce 1 so its just a matter of time. (~two weeks?)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] scottanon:
I liked the last version, but the sensors always seemed a bit wonky. This new one is way smoother, and works like a charm. The display and skins are a huge leap forward! Just got it today, and I've already driven to lunch WAY to fast to test it out.

My two cents for future features are:

1. I agree, needs calibrate on screen.

2. Logging to file. This was in the last one, so I'm sure it's coming. It would also be great if you could play back a log file with the program.

3. Adjust range of dials. +/-1.00g is not enough in some applications. This may just be a limit of the skin I use, the gfAnalizer skin.

4. Max/min load indicators on the dial would be good.

5. GPS coordinates of start/stop of log file? Or a route trace?

Overall I give this app 10 out of 10. It's got a great beat, and you can dance to it.

Using an HTC AT&T Fuze btw.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TrizO:
Here's my theme:

How To:

1)Hook up your phone with disk drive

2)Open up the Pocket G-Force Folder and go to skins

3)Back up the old files

4)Replace with the new files (Download PGF 1.0)

5)Select skin with PGF customizer

HI all sorry for not responding to the messages for a wile, im very busy planing a work tripe to England and in don't have much time to work on the programs , as already said by some, the program don't adjust the original skins to other resolutions, so in case you have a different resolution that i made (VGA) you need to make a skin for your self and preferably share here whit others.

Sorry for that i was hoping in releasing a new version prior to November.

A new Vertions is ready for download on the frist post so go there and get it.

The difference is a Touch menu for people whit HTC HD for exemple that dont have Dpad.

The gps tab is thare but only turns it on it dos nothing else other that showing the status.

The log tab does absolution NOTHING atm.

Skins from TrizO are in the cab also.

Stay tune for more development.
