Ok as far as I'm aware all Windows Mobile OS up to WM 6.1 is limited to 65k colour!

I'm not sure if WM 6.5 can display 24 bit colour but I do know that WM 7 will handle colour upto 24 bit!!

Also not sure if some of you are aware that most of the recent windows mobile devices from HTC,LG and Samsung actualy have display that are able to display colour from 256k to 16 million but they are locked down to 65k because the limitation of the OS!
[Touch HD General] sosojerk:
ok, than why just 65k in win 6.5 than?
[Touch HD General] Maetz3:
because WM 6.5 it can :-)
[Touch HD General] sebastianmc:
its not about WM

there are samsungs running wm 6.1 with 256k...
[Touch HD General] IAmSmoke:
I've read somewhere that 65k is a WM limitation (also mentioned above). As for our devices, I've read they have 262k displays but only function in 65k mode because of the OS limitation. Maybe that's the case with some competitor devices too, but they apply more aggressive marketing... ;)
[Touch HD General] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
I agree with above post 100%!!! HD has 256K screen but WM uses only 65K of it!! and the other devices which use Wm and say theyre 256K color -- theyre using only 65k of them :D

BTW - you cant actually tell a difference from a 65k or 16mil colr screen unless you put them side by side, but in everyday use my HD has a ideak screen with 65k, my nokia had 16mil but I mostly used black white and red on it!!!:D
[Touch HD General] Sasimi:
That's not true. Simply try a blackshaded background, like the original manilla 2,6 one. It's very easy to spot the pixels as it's something like: Grey, grey-black, black.

And not like on a 16mil screen, grey, grey-grey-greyish black etc. In other words, the ''steps'' taken are too large. A 16 million screen will definately look better.

The difference between a 262k and 16million screen however, is really difficult to discern
[Touch HD General] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
I meant in everyday use -- could you spot those dots on Blackstones WVGA screen?? :D :D

who cares as long as it works!! :D
[Touch HD General] Step666:
You're all kinda wrong.

It is, in this case, WinMo that is the limiting factor but it is not a limitation of WinMo, it is a limitation of this particular implementation.

As detailed in this article, dating back slightly more than 4 years now, the OS itself would be capable of displaying more than 65k colours if MS's OEM partners wanted to implement it - but they don't.

Intially that was due to limited resources available on mobile devices but, nowadays, it's almost certainly due to the fact that the 256k screens that they use being cheaper than 16m ones.

In the case of the HD and other current HTC handsets, there'd be no point implementing 16m colour support given that the hardware is limited to 256k so to answer the OP's question both the OS and the hardware prevent the HD from supporting 16m colours but, as detailed above, technically it would be possible if only HTC were prepared to put any effort in.

Furthermore, some people claim that it is possible to display more than 65k colours whilst running WinMo (see here) but I cannot help feeling that this cannot be correct.

Hello, I got somehow confused with the methods presented here... I have SPL-1.54 with shipped WWE and would like to flash it with the shipped GER ROM (sigend nbh, got that one also) but I couldn't identify the right SPL (USPL preferred) for flashing my Blackstone with the GER ROM. Otherwise the device refuses to let itself get flashed with the german ROM.

Thank you for your help

Markus
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Follow this guide and post any further queries regarding flashing within that thread.

If you have SPL 1.54.0000 you just need to use USPL before flashing your required rom. This guide will provide step-by-step procedure for you.

Just noticed today thats it's bloody hard to send a picture in my albums via bluetooth... not being able to send via the album gui means i gotta find the filename of the pic i wanna send, open filemanager and then send via bluetooth... anyone know of an eaiser way to send pics via bluetooth, or even better... a cab that gives me a link to send via bluetooth in the 'send' context menu in the album UI ??

Bit of a downfall really... can upload to facebook, youtube, send via email or mms, but no bloody bluetooth :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ScubaSteve20001:
I'm not sure if you can do it with the built in app but you can try the new Resco Photo Viewer beta that I believe has this functionality and is probably a better photo viewer than the built in one. You can download it here http://www.resco.net/downloads/pocketpc/viewer/en/PhotoViewerBeta_p.exe

v1.1 http://www.mediafire.com/file/yh0wmny2hy5/Irish-v1.1-cm-4.0.4.zip

FYI: If you flash v1.4 this has the new lock screen, so if you go to flash back to another theme you MUST flash CM 4.04 update again first. Another theme will not work, you WILL get FC's. This is due to a change in the framework.jar

[Shift General] salmon:
Does anyone know how to remap the custom buttons on the Shift (the ones above the mouse pad) to Alt Tab?

It would be so useful not to have to slide open the keyboard to change screen, esp when in full screen browsing mode.

Is there a 3rd party app for this, or registry hack?
[Advantage X7510 General] hippy999:
Hi all,

I have decided that I want to flash my XDA Flint with a Michyprima ROM!!

I've been looking about and reading up on them, but I can't seem to tell which one is the latest release!!

Also I require one that doesn't suck up all the program memory, but doesn't have to be really lean either!! - I would really prefer a Full version!!

Suggestions???

Thanks All

Alex
[Advantage X7510 General] NeilM:
I'd suggest going for the 'lean' version :)

Michy hasn't released any recent updates, but then neither has anyone else. This is a very low volume user-base device and there seems to be little development going on :(

If you use the Lite version, at least you can then install other stuff via CAB files, which means you can then remove them if you wish.

Personally I found the O2 Flint ROM to be better than even Michy Lite in terms of speed and memory usage.
[Advantage X7510 General] hippy999:
Thanks for the advice Neil!

My main reason for flashing the ROM is to get the G Sensor working! It is disabled in the Stock O2 ROM!
[Advantage X7510 General] adamo86:
my gsensor is disabled

why dont you just download auto rotate software.
[Advantage X7510 General] NeilM:
Some of the early O2 ROMs physically disabled the G-Sensor so even using GSEN etc would not work.

I think the later O2 Flint ROM had rotation enabled, but still needed GSEN or ChangeScreen to actually work.
[Advantage X7510 General] Explodingfist:
I can confirm I've had the same problems with the standard O2 ROMS, but flashing Xtep's ROM on my Flint resolved the G-Sensor issue. :)
[Advantage X7510 General] hippy999:
The G Sensor is disabled on my Flint!!

Using Gsen etc throws up errors, saying cannot connect to G Sensor!

I have been fiddling with the registry on my Flint and have partial functionality of it now, BUT I cannot switch it it on or off now! It is on all the time!!

I believe I am running the latest O2 ROM
[Advantage X7510 General] NeilM:
Maybe I was remembering wrong then :) I don't have the Flint anymore so can't check.

I do remember that I thought the auto-rotate was a PITA anyway, so switched to using a hardware button to do it when I needed it (used AE ButtonPlus linked to a long press of the Home key)

[Touch Cruise General] mrrpilot:
I have a HTC Touch Cruise and I need to connect it via USB to PC and that the PC recognize it like a modem (COM 2, or 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ...).

It is for making a data call via PC software ( hyperterminal for example)

I don't need to make a share conexion to connect Internet, I only need that my HTC was recognized like a modem like when I connect a mobile phone Motorola V3 via USB to the PC, and the PC recognizes it like a Motorola USB Modem

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deevineb:
1. How do I stop the backlight turning off when I am on a call? It is frustrating if I want to end a call and the screen is black so I can't press 'end call' or if I am on voicemail, I can't access the keypad to press the number I need to save, delete or save a message.

2. When I first got the phone, whenever I typed an MMS the vibrate worked as I touched the keypad but its not working now. Any ideas how to put this back on, vibrate works for everything else.

Thanks

You can press any key other than end call to get the screen back without hanging up the phone, although, I know what you mean, its frustrating.

Theres a couple of programs on the market, but neither of them work right on the Hero yet. Shake awake I think is one.

ur phone in an elfin

here is more or less all you need to know:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=406721

basically

first cid unlock by flashing some USPL or HSPL (this time u have to use the white screen method). i recommend ipl and hspl 3.10.

then flash a new radio if u want (3.34 recommended)

and flash any rom of your choice.

btw, cid unlocking is a different thing from sim unlocking
[Touch GSM General] michel-2000:
BE CAREFULL...this may be a ''clone''

First, try to know from the seller if it is a REAL HTC. If it's not, you're gonna brick it. Can you get to the bootloader? What's the SPL?

Easy thing to do, check the USB plug, is it a ''HTC'' mini-USB or a regular mini-USB?

Don't do nothing BEFORE you know if it's a clone or not....

Hi

I was wondering what's the difference between the different versions of Windows Mobile 6.5 on this forum.

It seems like the one from frauhottelmann (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=539553) and fireburned (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3957085) are the major ones, but I'm a bit confused which I should choose.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Vox] Addicted2xda:
Their builds are same, so the internal core operating system is same. But since every person has his own preferences, the optional packages, layout (homescreen etc) are different in each and every ROM. So you need to try out both the ROMs and see which one you like more.

Hope it helps.

Thanks :)

hello guys

i hope this topic was not mentioned before .. i looked in the forum here and was out of luck

I've Xperia X1i SE .. currently using the very eye-candy ROM called EnergyROM

I'm enjoying and loving the device and the ROM .. but i'd really love an application to tell me how far i walked or run .. and how much calories I consumed

I believe this is doable because the device has GPS ..

is there any application ? if not .. is any one up for the challenge ?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] odanion:
First of all let me say hello to everyone as I am new to here and that if there is a thread about this please point me there as I have searched far and wide and tried everything imaginable and nothing helped whatso ever.

I recently got myself the HTC touch with these specs

sapphire pvt 32b ship s-on g

hboot-1.33.0006 (sapp10000)

cpld-10

radio-2.22.19.261

I tried a tutorial I had found on how to flash it (Sorry in my frustration I lost the link for it) everything went well I know I had to get a file manager to activate an apk program for it then type in a code...after that it prompted to restart which I did and now it wont go past the vodafone loading screen.

its not bricked as I can get to the hboot screen still and I can go to the other screen the black one where you can wipe the card/ use the update.zip etc.

I took the sd card out of my phone to put the files needed onto it as my phone couldn't be mounted anymore and now when I put it back in I get the

can't mount SD card error (cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (no such file or directory)

so now it seems like I am royaly screwed here as my phone doesnt even read its own sd card...could I have accidently removed something from the SDcard which was needed for it to be recognized or is there a way to work around this

please can someone help me as I have been searching for a good 14 hours straight as I need my phone for work...

thanks in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gurnted:
Is the sdcard formatted as FAT32? Most come partitioned as FAT but all the tutorials say updating rom requires FAT32.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] odanion:
sorry I forgot to mention that yes it is formatted to FAT32, I did the format on the pc so I lost all the files that were on it, but as it is an sd card and not the internal memory it shouldn't have had any information on it required to mount it otherwise if I would get a new sd card it wouldn't work

the sd card that came with mine btw is an 8gb micro SD HC

I have a normal 2gb Micro SD but it doesn't read that one either.

so in otherwords I have just flashed my phone with the flashrec-20090815.apk which then asked to restart...I did that and then wiped before the backup, which should only mean I cannot go back to the stock settings unless some other dutch vodafone magic user would be so kind as to send me his nandroid backup

but other than that I would really like to figure out why my phone can't mount the SD card, either of them

EDIT: When I searched around the net about can't mount SD card error (cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (no such file or directory)

I found that every other person that has this problem is a HTC dream user which makes me think I accidently got a Dream file flashed to my phone, yet wouldn't just the right sappimg.nbh be able to return things to normal? Or is this just wishful thinking...

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Slick_42:
As long as you can go into fastbood hope is not lost.

Did you already do an SPL update? if yes you can just install any rom you want.

try to put an rom (lets say cyanogenmod) via microsd to usb adapter on the drive and call it update.zip.

Get this tools: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EZU065GP

You need to install the USB driver for the phone if you not already have.

Connect the phone to the PC and boot you phone by holding "Back" and "On" into fastboot.

then run the "Boot Modified Recovery" script. Select "Apply sdcard:update.zip", make an wipe and the Phone start normally with the rom you selected.

It would be very helpful if you write would you already did to the phone.
