honestly cyanogen would have probably been fine had he left the new market out. fact is our phones came with the old version and thats what we payed for when we got them. if say on the g1 t-mobile decides not to offer and upgrade to 1.6 then that means there not going to pay google to have the new app on our phones so if we hack it and throw it on anyway then google doesnt make there money and we are in every way STEELING IT. if you worked for and got payed by google i bet it would upset you if people were steeling your product that you worked hard to create.

so do i agree they should force him to rethink some of his newer roms? yes

but i think the older ones that just have software our phones already came with should be left alone

AND i think we should be aloud to purchase the new software from google if we want it.

but google search google maps and all that crap has nothing to do with this as you can get them all FREE online this is probably 99% the new app being on peoples phones that didnt pay for it. you bought the original market when you bought your phone thats why google hasnt had a problem untill now.

everything set aside i love cyanogens work i love my 4.0.4.... i HAVE 4.1.11.1 saved i will probably even install it just to check it out if he doesnt come out with a stable version which is what i was waiting for. but if he comes out with a non google stable version i have no problem installing my old market onto it, i already have it backed up and ready to go. i payed for it and im keeping it no matter what rom i run! and i hope he keeps doing his thing im all for him and love what he does and would even pay for it if i had to! i hope this doesnt stop him and i hope they work things out. if he wants money for all the work hes been doing im sure people wont blame him and as long as it gives him insintive to keep going im happy!
[G1 General] clr822:
my two cents

cy has been perfecting their roms and now that they got the tools that they need they are going to plagerize his programming and impliment it into their next great g phone....and the only way to say its theirs is by getting rid of any shred of evid that is out there
[G1 General] jaboswell:
i understand what Google is doing..its upsetting but they have a point, they gave us an OPEN SOURCE OS, thats good enough, the devs make it a better, more fun, experience...so just shrug it off, rid it of ALL closed source apps.

Google should than allow the All Google apps available to those with Google Experience phones(before customizing with a ROM), they could make you register with your phones EMEI (maybe? if possible).

Also so this obviously means his ROMs arent here on XDA...What is XDAs stand on the situation? Were they pulled by XDA or did Cyanogen pull them?
[G1 General] maennj:
I don't know if this has been suggested before. I've seen dev-team on iphone doing something similar: why don't you make an "installer" script that takes all Google APKs from the device (which has stock image) then flash the rom and reinstall the APKs.. This way you don't have to distribute google apks. Not sure if that's possible if there is some kind of encryption protection on Google apps, just a suggestion :).
[G1 General] ggrant3876:
No matter what it was a mountain made out of a mole hill.
[G1 General] joners:
id just like to see google allow open access to their market place.

then put all closed source google apps on there for download just like any other apps.

However from what I understand its not as simple as this as they arent just apps there is a whole framework that goes with it. bah.

[G1 General] lbcoder:
That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard;

1) xda doesn't host any wimo roms.

2) xda doesn't develop any roms at all -- that is up to the individual who does so.

3) How the hell would you know? MS probably did some real *****y stuff like sending goons to the modder's home, harassing the modder's wives, and issuing threats like "stop doing this, don't tell anybody we threatened you, and pay up $10,000 or we're taking you to court over it".
[G1 General] donepate:
Perhaps some good has come of all this. Google, as a company, has probably noticed a major reaction from the modding community, and with a small amount of common sense, will take that into account the next time they decide to "crack down" on a developer for legal crap. They will also probably think twice about making apps available before release. Big companies have to cover their rear like everyone else in the world, but the problem was they left it hanging out to begin with, then pulled it back in. All in all, Cyanogen got a letter. Not a lawsuit, a set of handcuffs, nor a beating with a stick. I suppose it could have been worse. I am on his side though, and am a great fan of his work. Now all we have to do is make MP3 files free AND legal to download. Now I will wait for the FBI to come after me for that one.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
MP3 is patented and will never be legal for that reason.

If you are interested in a legal form of compressed audio encoding, use Vorbis... the quality is better, the files are smaller, and there are no patent problems with it.
[G1 General] donepate:
It was just sarcasm, but thanks for the info.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Right. I've found that sarcasm can't be digitized... :D
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
lol..............
[G1 General] mateo2:
If you read their blog post you might see their point better. Google doesn't charge users for those apps, but that doesn't mean they don't profit from them. They likely sell the rights to distribute the apps either to the hardware manufacturer, or directly to the service providers. An Android phone without the Market is almost useless for end users. I'm sure they make a good amount from that. Just because they looked the other way for a while doesn't mean they don't still own their rights.
[General Accessories] abuttino:
All these techs tell me that BT distorts the highs. I am an audiophile.. What should I get for a windows mobile phone?
[General Accessories] Rudegar:
audiophiles should most likely stay clear of a2dp in all it's forms
[General Accessories] BigJayDogg3:
^^^ Correct. A2DP is convienient, but if you're looking for sq, this is not what you are looking for. I did it in my dad's truck with my Nokia N75 and his new HU. It doesn't just distort highs, it also removes almost all the lows.

Honestly, IMO, unless you are in a competition, a vehicle shouldn't be about SQ. To get a truly good sound, you will probably end up spending crap tons of money. Car acoustics are fickle as all get out.

What's your price range? I suggest getting an amplifier to drive the speakers as well if SQ is the goal.

EDIT: I didn't realize I hadn't posted here yet. Odd.
[General Accessories] buffalosolja42:
Check out the Alpine head units :)

I know they have usb support and alpine sound quality is awesome, I tried one of the head units can't remember the name but it sounded great. And if you are into sound you will need to get a 4-channel for highs and mids, and either a 2 channel or 1 channel for subs. If you are going all out, you might as well do all that go all out. And the alpine head units have a ton of volume eq presets, not to mention Pioneer does well too.
[General Accessories] BigJayDogg3:
well, if you really want to go "all out" do external equalizing. And as for good sounding headunits, look at Eclipse. they have some of the better sounding head units on the market. Alpine is good, but I personally don't like them.

Personal preference, but I'll take a comparable Pioneer over an Alpine any day.

Back to the topic thouugh, as long asyou don't drift off into poor name brands (Pyle, Power Acoustik, Dual, Jensen, etc) you will be fine. Try and get some hands on time with a couple models before you buy thoough.
[General Accessories] -Jonny-:
I would get either straight connection (3.5mm / line in) which enables WM to play music

Or get one that accepts SD card. You can store all your music on an SD card an stick it in your car stereo, WM device, computer at home etc. I fit most my music on 8GB card.

agree with BJ, in my experience Pioneer is much better sound (forget the button to light ratio!!).

Hey guys, i just spent like an hour trying to figure this damn thing out but i cant seem to do it!

here's the game, gfDoom,

http://home.freeuk.com/gamefreaks/pql/gfDoom.htm

just FYI.

I'm attaching the "keyboard" skin for the game, which allows landscape and i'm quite happy with it. The only problem is in landscape i cant see a way to save the game, or exit the game.

By default for Touch Pro, landscape

VOLUME DOWN = OPEN DOOR (which is fine)

BACK BUTTON/OK BUTTON = SHOOT (also fine)

Other hardkey buttons unmapped.

doesnt need a map button since on screen, bottom left corner activates the map

now i'm trying to map the pause/menu button to one of the hardkeys. Make full use of em. Like the enter key and the volume up key. Can someone help me out here? I think one key shud be a letter or something so that can save the game. Like when i wanna save the game i have to type a name.

I have found this link "Keys and Key Codes for Windows Mobile" but am unable to get it to work after several attempts.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb431750.aspx

see attachment for the instructions and the folder containing the skin "Keyboard"

Hopefully someone can help me out by helping me map it out. :)

Please post results here

bump one more time. maybe i shud ask in raphael main forum section?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Myrddin Wyllt:
Change the title of your thread. It sounds like you're trying to get someone to give you registration keys for software, or something equally illegal. I realize you're not, but I may simply be more curious than the average reader.

Look for a program called HButton. It might do what you're looking for.

Also, it's considered bad form to bump your own threads, unless they fall off the first page without getting responses.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Baronic:
yea it fell off the first page which is why i bumped it. :)

oh okay will edit thread title.

and btw HButton is to assign apps to hardware buttons. what i need is some help regarding configuring the .txt file for gfDoom to configure Doom controls. what i need is a hardware button for the menu key
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] neil_swann80:
Managed to get it working reasonably.

Volume down = FIRE

Volume up = STRAFE (hold down whilst pressing left or right)

OK/Select = OPEN

Back = FULLSCREEN (Toggles between portrait and landscape)

Couldn't seem to map the Call and Call-end buttons successfully.

Having the "Back" button as a full screen button seemed more functional than just using it to pause or quit the game, as from the portrait/keyboard mode you can access these facilities and more (e.g. save, load, exit etc).

Just stick the modded text file in your "KEYBOARD" folder. I've renamed my "KEYBOARD" folder "DEFAULT" so I don't have to use the launcher .exe (configuration tool) and can just use the direct .exe to go straight into the game.

P.s. The game seems to run ever so slightly more smoothly if you disable TF3D (Manila) from: Settings/Today

before launching the game. Simply enable again once you're finished.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] neil_swann80:
In case you want to setup you controls differently, here are the mapping codes for the buttons:

Button Hex Dec

vol+ 0x75 117
vol- 0x76 118
back 0x5c 92
end 0x73 115
call 0x72 114
ok 0x86 134

up 0x26 38
down 0x28 40
left 0x25 37
right 0x27 39

You need to enter the decimal values within the text file.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Baronic:
i'm actually using the up button to pause game to save etc etc. but i'll definitely try to follow your config for the volume up button. cuz i cant get mine to work. i prefer back as shoot. lets me run around with stylus and shoot/strafe.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] neil_swann80:
I've modded the skin a little further, using the default skins layout and the keyboard skins toolbar (with fullscreen and exit etc)

Attached the skin files...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] neil_swann80:
Made two new skins for GFDOOM from scratch with as much functionality for the Raphael as I could map. I'm quite pelased with them.

One is a Doom themed skin, the other one is to match NRG's EnergyROM theme.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jjcd51590:
I think this is the correct area to ask for this but what i need is a simple prototype we can base OAA off of this is a big project if you have not heard follow the link in my signature to the thread.

What we need is:

1. a basic go-by a basic format for how the first set of non google android apps will look

2. Color scheme

We can start with this and go from there if anyone has any *helpful* input post it remember this is a community project.

a simple jpeg/bmp/png/ect. will be good enough for now and we will have a poll to see the future of android on the visual side.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] drpfenderson:
Wait - a prototype of what?

A theme? Logo?

What are we discussing?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jjcd51590:
Everything lol i seen a cool android/penguin logo

but a basic layout on how buttons will be set up with a color scheme that is pretty basic

I don't remeber exactly but there is only one ROM exist with this programm working good. I think this is M-Amine 2.0 or shecar's rom
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Fergus278:
sorry guys, wm5torage only worked a few times with my polaris then it went back to normal. i installed v1.8 then stupidly decided to upgrade to the latest 1.92x.

So if you want to give 1.8 ago.. . it might work
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] deepthroat:
or one of the 3LIT3 rom?

I have read that people frequently said to forget it due to driver compatibility, similar situation in Kaiser, Polaris as well as Niki. But it is only Sundream I believe who understand the secret of the recipe - he got it working on Niki wm6.5 rom

Has anybody every used this brand of screen protector's before? They just sent me an email saying that they have in stock screen protectors specific for the T-mobile TP2 and I am debating whether or not to buy them.

http://www.boxwave.com/products/cle...screen-protector-t-mobile-touch-pro2_3668.htm

I originally had a Martin Fields on my Touch Cruise that I loved, but they don't make the screen protectors for the T-mobile TP2 :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] greatbrit:
I used one on my MDA (prior to getting the TP2). I loved it (make sure to get the crystal clear, not the non-glare, if they have a choice). 3 years and looks like new, nice slick surface for using the stylus, extremely durable. But I don't have experience with any others (except the one that came in the TP2 box which I also like a lot).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] orb3000:
Thanks for sharing!

I´ll go for one of those:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] galaxys:
The crystal clear is one of the best I've used before!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bitslizer:
I have used the Anti-Glare version for my 6700 and 6800/Mogul and love it. I used my phone in my car alot so the Anti-Glare is a must. It also finger print resistant, I'm using the screen protector that came with the phone now and the finger print smudges are just driving me nuts! I've order one and is waiting for shipment notice.

the Anti-Glare version is a semi reigid piece of plastic that make it very easy to apply, similar to the included protector, I hate those soft floppy protector that's next to impossible to put on correctly
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] osrix:
is the anti glare version kinda gritty to the touch ive never used one?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Arcarsenal:
Was wondering this as well. I ordered a Clear Touch while my co-worker opted for the anti-glare. I'll try to do a side by side comparison when they arrive.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] raffstyle:
Speaking of anti-glare... im using one on my Iphone 3G..got it back from Manila,Philippines on my last holiday, some chinese brand screen that i thought will be just a piece of crap screen protector.

to my surprise it was 98% perfectly fit on my iphone...and it was a great anti-glare screen protector:D. my wife likes it now she wants 1 for the htc touch pro2. ive seen some on ebay i might order it this week.

for those who's using one... where did you guys buys the anti-glare screen protector?? -thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] osrix:
Nice one thanks :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Protonus:
I've raved about it before many times, just search my posts on here and PPC geeks, but the BoxWave AntiGlare is the best screen protector for any device hands down period end of story etc! :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bitslizer:
I wouldn't say gritty, but its definitely neither frictionless or sticky and doesn't impede your fingers or stylus movement in anyway... its got a matted texture, and I really like using my stylus with that texture! more of a paper feel, offering just the right amount of feedback and friction.

You do lose a tiny bit of clarity compare to the Crystal version, but for the anti-glare, anti-finger print benefit, I love it!

finger prints and face oil on the stock screen protector have been driving me nuts!

I'm supposed to get it today but heading out of town for a wedding this weekend so may not have a chance to report or upload pix until monday
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] osrix:
Thanks for the report, i can imagine a paper texture! i think i may order one. cheers :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] venomshot629:
What do you all think of these dedicated screen protectors, as compared to using the screen cover provided by invisibleSHIELD or Bodyguardz? Are the ones you all mentioned, or from "BoxWave" better because they are made specifically for the purpose of screen protection? Or are the I.S. or Bodyguardz ones comparable, since they are built to offer all around protection?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bug666:
Personally, the 3M crowd is better because then you don't have to worry about the screen protector getting scratched.

I had purchased a Boxwave Anti-Glare before and it worked decently, but the amount of glare it reduced was negated by the amount of brightness that needed to be increased.

Boxwave, in my opinion, works if you have a case protecting it. But trying doing this with a Boxwave.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] lhino9:
NOT gritty.

I have used Boxwave screen protectors for years and have NEVER been disappointed. Excellent longlasting product that your stylus simply glides across; I have settled on the Anti-Glare. One post says that Boxwave isn't TOTALLY scratch-free like some other 'full-body' clear protectors. Correct. However, personally I do not like the idea of spraying a liquid all over my device in the application process. 'Full-body' protectors are applied just like installing tinting on you car's windows.

Suggested application procedure.

Before beginning I have two clean microfiber cloths; one is included. Clean your phone's screen well; preferably w/one of those microfiber cloths. Close windows in bathroom, run shower on hot a bit & turn off. Moisture will pull all the dust outta the air and drag it to the floor. Vent heat (u don't want it to be uncomfortable in there).

Now that all the floating dust is negated, clean your screen again w/the the other microfiber cloth and apply protector. It is helpul to have some tape applied to a corner or two of the protector. Utilizing the tape, lift and reapply as needed using the supplied squeegee or a credit card to clear out bubbles; you may need to lift protector and use the microfiber cloth to pick up some lint/debris to ensure a clean install.

You should have a lint- and bubble-free application if you were careful.

Good luck from Lincoln!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] pinoymutt:
I've used Boxwave screen protectors and accessories for the past several years, and I can honestly say I've been always 100% pleased. I've used both the antiglare and clear protectors, and prefer the clear ones - but it's all a matter or preference, but overall a good purchase.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] dbonds:
First, Boxwave screen protectors have always been my standard. I've tried a couple other types (mostly what's been included with devices or what I can find in retail stores) and won't likely be messing around with that again. I personally prefer the "crystal" models over the anti-glare because I didn't like the affect of the anti-glare pattern on the display. It kind of gave it a fuzzy moire pattern. The crystal basically looks like those super glossy laptop screens - looks great in low/medium lighting but could be a problem in certain direct light situations. Still, the trade-off is worth it to me.

Second, does anyone know if any of the existing TP2 protectors will fit the AT&T Tilt 2? The European/UK model looks not ideal because of the front camera hole and the T-mobile version appears to have a slightly different button layout on the bottom. Both the Verizon and Sprint models look right to me on the web page, but Boxwave support just says to submit a request and wait. I would prefer to get a protector on mine ASAP but am reluctant to order if the fit isn't right.

Daniel
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] theelite:
bought one for my Sprint Touch Pro 2, it applied perfectly and not noticeable at all. I prefer it way over the invisibleshield I had on my Vogue which was too rubbery and reflective.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] lokmeup:
Am I correct to think the Boxwave screen protector for the Sprint TP2, Verizon TP2, and the ATT Tilt 2 are the exact same thing? I have been looking at pictures and the screen shapes look identical. The only different ones are the T-mobile and the front facing camera versions.

Thanks!
