sorry if this is a dumb question - trying out ahome and it only has 2 screens by default, where do I set the number of screens?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
I think it's on aHome settings. On the homescreen press Menu > More to get to settings. Havn't used aHome since 1.1 so it might be a little different now.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jomtones:
hmm... i get menu / ahome menus then loads of choices. can't spot it! :/
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Haven't used aHome in a long time, but I have a feeling that if you move an icon to the edge of the screen it will extend it and add a new screen. Maybe I'm thinking if something else...?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bittermormon:
yessir that is correct
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackElvis79:
In the aHome menu, in settings, it allows you to choose number of screens, allows you to number (or mark) each screen, and so on. I can't tell you exactly because aHome doesn't work on my current ROM. Check display settings in the extra menu on the home screen. It's in the same menu where you change your fonts and drawers and stuff.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jomtones:
Thanks a lot guys - Adrian yep that's it, currently you drag an icon to the edge to make a new screen!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
If you no longer require assistance with your question please edit the title or your thread with [SOLVED] (ie [SOLVED] set number of screens in ahome).

Thanks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jomtones:
Done, cheers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Boldra:
I notice this in opera, and today in the facebook app too, and was really baffled. The effect is quite subtle, but repeatable. When moving my finger around the screen, eg on the bbc news website panning to the top left, my screen dims. It stays dim when I remove my finger, and brightens again when I pan back down to the right.

Weird, huh?

So far it's just a curiosity and not an annoyance. Has anyone else seen this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Taigatrommel:
So I am not the only one who noticed this. I sometimes find this behaviour a bit annoying, especially in low light.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mrj:
The phone has an ambient light sensor. It is adjusting because you are causing a shadow over it. :)

You can probably turn it off
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mrj:
Under the power settings/backlight - auto adjust backlight. Just uncheck it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mrdata1701b:
Any idea where the sensor is located?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Taigatrommel:
Do you really think it is the ambient/light sensor? I sure don't. Scrolling through different websites I can easily reproduce this:

You scroll from one point to another, this just has to be a couple of pixels, and the screen adjusts the brightness. That is within a room with a fixed source of light and I am keeping my body as constant as possible to avoid the shadowing.

Scrolling from point A to point B makes the backlight adjust itself, even without casting any shadows or similar. Scrolling back from B to A makes the backlight instantly adjust itself back.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dazultra2000:
It's your finger causing the shadow, not your body. If you introduce an object into an ambient light source, you will find that said object will reduce the ambient light by a percentage due to partial or total obstruction. The light sensor is detecting this percentage and adjusting the screen accordingly.

The sensor itself is somewhere near the speaker.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Boldra:
I'm pretty sure this doen't have anything to do with the light sensor UNLESS it's cause by the screen itself becoming brighter and this registering on the light sensor, eg internal light leak.

My best guess is that it's connected to the presence/absence of certain colours on the screen, and is related to the video driver. Next time I get it I'll see if I can reproduce when scrolling via the kbd, to eliminate the theories about casting shadows on the screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mika34:
This is not FINGER SHADOW!!!

You can notice this same thing when you plaing Solitare cards and using Stylus.

I'm sure i did't do any shadows and anyway when i pick up any card and moving aroud screen u can notice screen brighting up and down.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Boldra:
Using Opera 9.5, on this site http://game-board.blogspot.com/2008/05/alternative-monopoly-rules-and-game.html zoom in with double-click, scroll about half way down to the paragraph beginning "property has too much pollution on it", then scroll up and down and notice the change in screen brightness. please post if you can repeat. it does not work with the keyboard.

btw, does anyone know monopoly "bloodbath" alternative rules?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] matmaneyre:
I've noticed my screen doing this without causing any shadows & without even touching the screen at all, like a 'breathing effect' when it is completely idle. I think it has something to do with light sensor polling interval which is editable via the registry, advance config and HD tweak...but since I flashed NRGZ ROM (21/08/09 build) this issue has gone anyway.
[Touch GSM General] apaseall:
Just got this phone off ebay. Did a hard reset.

IPL 1.16.0002. SPL 1.16.0000.

Splash screen Orange. Sim unlocked using O2.

There are some batter/power settings, 2 mins on battery, 5 mins on external power.

Like clockwork ever 1 minute of none use the phone goes to the 'enter password' thing you see when you press the power button briefly after leaving the phone for some time.

Right now I am interested in changing this timeout for something more reasonable for me. Later I may change IPL/SPL Rom upgrade etc.

Any thoughts on this 1 minute thing ?

Thanks
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
Oh, you can try to change your IPL and SPL first, than flash to another stock or cooked rom.

hi, when i install taskbar icon custom like spike s or taskbar color...etc , the voice command cannot start. i i can t start it even if i go in the voice command settings...

somebody know why???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] inspireqc:
HTC touch pro icons?

Hi there ,

It think the issue is related to the ROM of your phone.

You probably running a french version on your phone and the "icons" were made for English version only.(guessing:rolleyes:)

Cause they are changing the icons of the voice command ect...

You should try to install the English ROM for your TP2.:D

hi today i was out with my bike....running a bit on the road... and i had to stop to help a brother biker fallen. now i thaught that maybe a small application for our phone could help him (or anyone is in need) that take the coordinates from gps and send it by sms with an help request or message to a prefixed number so could be much more easyer to find him (could also be nice in high mountain or anywhere else)

can some one write this small app?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hays:

hey guys,

yesterday i tried out a htc diamond keyboard. i like it but how can i set the layout to german?

this is the link where i got it from:

http://www.modaco.com/content/xperi...4005/pauls-must-have-free-xperia-x1-software/

dunno which version it is...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bloodmage824:
ok, i just got this phone yesterday, and its AWESOME. Just one minor but VERY annoying problem tho, whenever i send out text messages, it will be displayed in the correct time, but whenever i recieve text messages, it will be 4 hours before the actual time... It seems its been set to a different time zone or something... Anyways, does anyone know how to fix that?..

Thanks.

oh and is there anyway i can find out which rom/country my phone is currently using? I bought it unlocked from a local chinese retailer, and supposedly they get all their stuff from hongkong, is there anyway to check?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bloodmage824:
anyone? bump
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] moloise:
it depends where is the person which sends you the sms, as a matter of fact if the person is in paris ou you are in London, then the message will be displayed with GMT -1
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bloodmage824:
hmm but all the people who txt'd me are in the exact same town as me...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] labbbby:
I had the same issue, I apply the summer time fix followed by the df_timestamp_fix.cab I attached. (Thanks to the author, it's floating in the forums if you search for sms timestamp or something along those lines if your curious to know what the cab does)

I am not sure the summer time is needed but it work for me.

The issue is with a "Trust time zone" Reg key. From what I understand, your provider applies the GMT -4 and your phone do it a second time, hence the time difference.

Hope this work as well as on my phone
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bloodmage824:
wow if i was anywhere near u i would go over and kiss u, thanks a lot man! I didn't know the correct term for it was "timestamp" and i been searching all over the forum and came up with nothing. Thanks again! gonna go try it now
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] crazy talk:
the unfixable unread count is even worse.

at the moment i have 8 unread SMS messages i cannot make go away. even when i use a CAB to handle this things go back to the way they were after the next text comes in.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kloc:
I haven't had that problem at all and I do alot of texting! Sometimes it'll have a 1 by it when I though I read all my messages but I really didn't.

Did you try disabling touchflo from today screen in settings rebooting and then re-enabling it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] labbbby:
Hahah, I`m quite happy I am far away, but you are more then welcome.

I try to help this forum by any means I got, glad it worked.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] labbbby:
This is annoying, I use to have it on stock rom with my TP1, the genius cook made some work around work so I haven`t been bothered since...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nylaw:
Try this

Start/Settings/Text Messaging Change to Classic and X out.

Go into your text messages and you will probably find the culprit in bold. Once you open it, that should reset the counter. Go back and switch to threaded.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] schizo:
First, make sure local time setting is correct (as above posts)

If still persist, try reghack; open phm regedit or resco or else, navigate to HKCU/System/State/sms/Unread, change the Count value to 0. Exit regedit, press power button to suspend your device, wait 5 secs, then softreset. Please try and feedback.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] opallabtb:
Hello everybody,

this is my first post in this forum and my english is very bad, because i am an bavarian noob ;) I take my german text to the google-translator an this is the result:

I have tried to change my startup screens what has failed miserably. I have the original files with the trail version of Ulead Gif Animator processed and pushed to the Hero. The results you can see here. I have the orig. and modifed attached files. Can anyone of you tell what went wrong?

Thx,

the bavarian :confused: opallabtb
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
I noticed whilst browsing the Hero file system (in root somewhere) that there are a number of config files for boot and on my Orange Hero, an Orange startup animation.

No idea how you do it (rooted & text editor maybe), but you will probably have to edit these
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] opallabtb:
thank you joemax for your quick answer.

There is only one xml file in the folder /system/media. It calls boot_animation.xml

I didnt touch this file. The names of the modifed files are the same as the original ones. Is it possible that the Ulead gif animator change anything in the gif file (transparent background, etc)?

greets
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
Sorry, I have no idea then. My depth of knowledge at this point is very poor :confused:

Can the Hero actually play the gig animation you copied across ?

I use ASTRO to browse my Hero, it plays and views images, video and gif files. Try to see if its actually playable 1st.

Sorry but thats all I can think could be causing it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Switchbitch:
I bet you crapped yourself when you first saw that messed up boot screen :)

I've had a look at the gif files you're using and they differ from the originals. The ones you made, each frame has different background properties. If you look at each frame in the original, they're all 320*480 with a background colour index of 199; they all have a black (transparent) background of 320*480.

But the modified gifs have frames which don't have the same sized and colour index backgrounds, and this is the only thing I can see that would cause the problem. When you view them in windows picture viewer, they show up fine; I think it's something to do with the transparency and the fact that the first frame IS the right size and colour but the rest are not.

In fact now that I look at your video again I'm certain this is the case. I know how to fix this, what program did you use to modify the frames?

Edit: Okay maybe I should read posts better, you used Ulead Gif Animator. If you can send me the individual images of each frame I could put this together for you in a way I'm sure will work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] opallabtb:
Hi,

thank you for your support!

lol, yes it was. I thought I would have an expensive paperweight

I dont know how to do this:

Can you take the Frames/Pics or whatever you want from the "modifed.zip" package?

Thank you!

could it be a problem specific to the Vodafone UK ROM?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] samstables:
Eeek. It does indeed make a right mess of my Vodafone TP2!

At first it seemed fine; asked for email address and confirmed it or something, then had a screen with sound controls, then it crashed. If I try to start it up again it crashes or makes everything go black and non-responsive. When it does come back and I managed to close it from the X, I get repeated error messages about it... Soft reset, uninstall, soft reset time :)

The error message says amongst other things the Faulting Thread is 0x8C2732AE

Tried it on a Diamond2 and it also doesn't work... freezes at intro screen. but at least you can close it without major issues.

Maybe it's just a crap game!?!

LOVING THE HERO
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] slackwaresupport:
every hero i have tried is slow.. or gets painfully slow after a day of use..

anyone found any hero that works and is fast?

and im on a class 6 card.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nextelbuddy:
im with you on that one.

i actually want to know if its something i am doing wrong.

i mean im installing the HERO ROMS and partitioning the SD cards as directed but 3 HERO ROMS i ahve tried have been so slow that they dont even respond to my finger touches to move over even if i try really slow and hard not a quick flick.

i installed the Evil Hero Rom 1.3x last night and this mornign after i took it off the charger at 10am by 1pm i was down to 23% batter life WTF and NO blue tooth, NO wifi and NO GPS at all and i wasnt even usign the phone it was just sitting on my desk while i took care of work.

i removed that ROM and installed the JACHeroSki-v1.4-sapphire that just came out today and its just as slow so i removed that one and tried

Qteknology Hero (WWE Dump) for G2 Magic-Voda 32B CC v1.3b and same thing just as slow.

all 3 HERO roms i have tried are so slow on my Mytouch that they just get HTC splash screen reboots and do not respond to my finger touches for anything.

so at this time i really do not think its teh ROMS per say but something I am doing wrong because i havent seen anyone else complaining like me, a few people saying quirks and some saying they lag a BIT but not as slow as i experience.

are you guys on 32A?? I just installed the MyHero rom and its the fastest one ive tried so far. time stamp issue still prevalent though
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nextelbuddy:
im on 32B and i have always made sure i do a complete wipe using the recovery image first before flashing the new roms

i mean i dont even know much regarding COMPCACHE and SWAP ROMS

some say COMPCACHE and some say SWAP

both ROMS alwyas have details included that state you MUST have 3 partitions setup fat32/ext2,3/Linux-swap

i have made sure in the recovery image that i format the SD card to 3 partition first and then once that is done i copy the HERO rom i want and renameit to update.zip and then i perform a WIPE DATA and then APPLY UPDATE.ZIP

and i have tried ROMS with COMPCACHE (the Evil Hero ROM) and then i also tried the one with SWAP

which ones should i be using? what is the difference between compcache and swap anyways?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] st0kes:
NO! Do they even exist for the 32B Magic?

I've tried the original Fatal1ty Hero rom, the Qteknology and the evil one (both this week). For me, they are not responsive enough to use on a day to day basis. If I have to wait more than 5 seconds for my phone to do something it quickly gets annoying, I always end up going back to CyanogenMod ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] slackwaresupport:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] motivecc:
only thing i can suggest to possibly speed some things up on a class 6 sd card is to swich your swap size to 40mb... that seems to be the sweet spot for me, although its still unusable... i'm currently testing hero roms without apps2sd (or trying to at least)... from my experience any ROM runs faster on the mytouch with apps2sd disabled...

"Only draw back is the blue tooth doesnt pair with my cars bluetooth hands free system in my BMW"

I'm jealous. Wish I had a Beamer.

I too am running Qtek's ROM and it's incredibly fast for me. It seems that each Hero ROM has a slightly different reaction to each phone. My Mom's Mytouch could not run the Hero ROM from QTek cuz the screen went pixelized. I however, had no problems. Strange.
