[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vanti:
The hero seems to ignore changed CPU speed or simply resetting it to default value immediately. At least it does on my Modaco and also on my coworkers HTC Magic running Hero-based ROMs.

Does anyone know why? Is it in the custom ROM, the kernel or some HTC modification to the android build?

I would like to see if you could save some batterylife by lowering CPU Max while screen is off and see how low you can go and still use Spotify and other apps without issues.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] felikz:
1. how do you set cpu frequency?

2. with the program set-cpu (or something like that) it is at the moment not possible..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vanti:
I'm aware that it is not possible hence my question if anyone knows why so we can try to find a solution. Same goes for brightness which also resets immediately. Is this kernel, modified android or what?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
I have made a user.conf file that runs hero at full and addd to my roms, Ithink modaco has a user.conf file also

you might want to download setspu! work like a charm!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
not the kernel its in the build.prop for screen settings, also the user.conf plays a big roll!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] felikz:
setcpu does not work for me, at least not on original firmware
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vanti:
I've tried both Overclocker Widget and SetCPU and both give same results. They seem to be able to change the settings but they are immediately reset to default values.

Using SetCPU if i change max to something like 480 and set it it looks like it works but hitting refresh it shows that CPU is running at 528 and that max setting is still 528. Issue was the same with Modaco V2.1 and DDR V2.0 and also on a coworkers HTC Magic running some Hero-based ROM (possibly based on Modaco he was not sure)

Also if you try to change the screen brightness using any tool makes the screen change brightness for a moment and then autosets to whatever value the Hero seems to think is appropriate (light sensor?)

Could you try using SetCPU to lower the CPU max and hit refresh to verify it has not been reset to 528?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] matthian:
user.conf location

Where to I have to put the user.conf in the filesystem on a rooted Hero with stock ROM ?

Thanks,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CruiseMan:
Guys,

I am using setcpu and able to set my max cpu to 528 and min to 480. I am running MCR 2.8 :)...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vanti:
528 Max and 480 Min is default on the Hero. The question is if you can set it LOWER to save battery like if you have apps running that won't let it go to sleep.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pauljblo:
hi drizzy could you tell me how to make a user.conf file to make hero run at full 528 speed all the time and how to place it onto my hero.

thankyou
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Try an echo "your_freq_in_hz" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pauljblo:
how do i do this i dont know too much about it but if you give me instructions that would be good
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thecodemonk:
Check out the rooting guides, you should be able to type it pretty much as it says (starting with "echo") on one line and that should do it once you're at the root shell (#)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
would you be so kind to share it with us? i have no idea how it should look like, and there is not really information about it on the devs homepage... i would appreciate it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
If you recompile a kernel with "performance" governor as default, you'll run at full all the time.

SetSIP 1.1

Changing SIP (software keyboard) type is both cumbersome (that small finger unfriendly arrow near the SIP icon) and slow (the selection menu does not popup for a noticeable time). Worse on Topaz (Diamond 2) the menu has 2 levels: one for select between Touch Input full QWERTY and Phone Keypad and one for select other SIP types.

SetSIP allow to change the SIP, including the two Touch Input layouts from a shortcut.

Requirements and compatibility

SetSIP was developed for HTC Topaz (Diamond 2) with WM6.1 and requires Compact Framework 2 or above. It should work on many other phones but the test is up to you. Touch Input layouts selection make sense only on phones with Touch Input / EzInput.

Install

Run SetSIP.cab and install in main memory.

Uninstall

Use Remove Programs in Settings.

Shortcuts creation

Installation copies two files in your phone, SetSIP.exe and SetSIPShortcut.exe and adds a shortcut named "SetSIP Create Shortcuts" to Programs. SetSIP.exe is the actual utility that changes the SIP as specified by command line parameters inside shortcuts. Creating the shortcuts manually is possible but cumbersome (see ReadMe.txt for details). Therefore, the SetSIPShortcut.exe utility scans your phone for all the installed SIPs and creates shortcuts for all of them. For Touch Input / EzInput SIP it creates shortcuts for all the layouts.

To create the shortcuts go to Programs and tap "SetSIP Create Shortcuts". After a while a popup dialog will inform you of the program termination and of the name of the directory where the created shortcuts are.

History

v1.1 [18-09-2009]

- Added shortcut creation utility.

v1.0 [17-09-2009]

- First public release.

USUAL LEGAL DISCLAIMER

Use SetSIP at your own risk! NO WARRANTY! Although running this application does not seem to produce any damage on my phone, I take no responsibility for any kind of damage or major or minor inconvenience caused to devices or data or person or whatever else due to this application and its usage.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] oruam57:
V1.1 posted, with utility to create shortcuts for all installed SIPs.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] mitsi:
Thanks for the app Oruam. Very useful. I'm surprised there aren't more posts here as I would have thought this was useful to more people.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] oruam57:
Oh well, browsing the forum the relation between application usefulness and success appears misterious indeed :confused:

At any rate, the small applications I coded it was only because I could not find a ready made solution to a problem I had (It's not my job and I'm lazy after all :) ). After that, sharing them with anyother who could have perceived the same problem seemed rational.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] btlarkin:
Worked for me with Sprint MR1 ROM and 6.5

Thanks for posting these SIP shortcuts. Your shortcuts worked for me after installing the Sprint MR1 ROM update which includes Windows Mobile 6.5. One suggested improvement is to permit removal of the shortcut creation icon after it initially runs.

To make it faster and easier to switch SIP modes, I used Tarkim's Keyboard Config tool to launch the Block Recognizer SIP shortcut. I mapped it as a double-click on the back button. Then I can use the built in HTC input to switch back to QWERTY mode if I need it.

I also called to complain to Sprint and they in turn contacted HTC while I was on the telephone. Someone named Beth at HTC confirmed that these recognizers were left out of the updated Touch Input modules on purpose and that they not disclose that this was part of the upgrade. A@#!#$@@!. Nice way that have of saying thanks to their customers who purchased one of the most expensive phones on the market.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] No1Spcl:
Work for me also. Currently running a HTC TP2 with Energy ROM Version Energy.RHODIUM.21898.Sense2.5.Apr.09 for anyone else who is out there browsing the forum.

Copied the Letter Recognizer shortcut from \Program Files\SetSIP folder into the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder, after installing the CAB and tapping the Set SIP Shortcuts.

From now on it's one click and good to go.

Thanks a lot oruam57

SetSIP works on Artemis WM6.5

Thank you very much! This excellent app works on my HTC Artemis P3300 O2 xda Orbit running Harrycaine's WM6.5. I was stuck with default Ezinput 2.1 but your app allows me to switch keyboards very easily. Cheers

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paciotti:
Hi everyone.

I read some of 100 pages in this section, but I only find one thread with one message about the possibility of using a USB keyboard (the thread is closed!). Why the thread is closed? I don't understand what means "Documentation from Qualcomm will likely be required in order to make use of the feature".

I think the idea of using an USB Keyboard on G1 isn't so useful, but connect a digital camera such as mass storage is a great idea (or an external HD for whatching films or play songs).

What do you think about this?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsnipuhx:
Probably wrong forum, should've went under just Dream
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashless:
This is the right forum because it would require serious development. I'm also interested in getting some USB host action in Android builds. This was a great feature on my old Nokia N800.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] math0ne:
I would love to see the ability to use any form of keyboard with the G1 wired or not.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paciotti:
I think it require development and a development based on the specific hardware of Dream... Someone know how Qualcomm enter in this thread?

The previous post I read is here
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashless:
Well, lets not just focus on keyboard usage. USB host will also let you connect things like external hard drives, usb hubs (usually powered) to your device. I think this should be looked into and not just ignored because there's a KB workaround.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paciotti:
Please forget the Keyboard... the focus is the possibility of connect every kind of hardware through USB port! We'll only need the right driver!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] random_username_:
i think it has the capability but it is not wired correctly or something like that
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paciotti:
Someone know where I can read about usb host on dream?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paciotti:
Well!

The thread was moved to "Dream Q&A" section...

In effect mine is a question and I'm searching an answer, but I'm searching a developer too! I posted it in these section because there someone should keep my idea and produce an application!

May be in the FAQ section is more appropriate, but i don't agree...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TaSx:
Hello,

any progress about it?
[General Topics] joeyc1123:
is there anything for this? thanks in advance
[General Topics] afn691:
You should have a CAB file for every app (or apps combination) you want to hide, so that if we have thousands of apps and thousands of people, the CAB collection should be infinite.

I suppose there's a "task manager configurator" which allows to create a list of files, but this is also in some other task managers, so that you must go into "settings" "system" and search if you have any way to do that.

If not, the best way is surfing the registry and adding the app to the list.

Knowing what kind of task manager you have, you'll know which is the way to create this list.
[General Topics] joeyc1123:
i dont think i correctly explained what im looking for. for example, i have an accelorometer app that(when its running) allows any program im using switch to portraight or landscape in relation to the way im holding my phone. im looking for something that when i click the task manager(top right corner of the home screen) that program wont show so in final, i wouldnt be able to "x" it out
[General Topics] stylez:
Just add the exclusive with taskmanager will take just as long to install a .cab "Taskmanager-Middle Button-tap & hold on the prog add exclusive"

The location for exceptions is:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ExclusiveList\System]
[B]eg[/B] "repllog.exe"=dword:00000000
[General Topics] afn691:
Yes, you're searching an app.cab "dedicated" to your accelerometer app !

Are you clicking the Task manager (top right) ?? Or the X button ? And what kind of X button ? If you're using some kind of X-button, you can go to settings-system-TaskManager and add your accelerometer to the ignored apps list. If you use another task manager, maybe you can't or you're finding this config page on another place.

In the most of cases, you'll be able to add your app's name into the registry so that the task manager won't show it as listed.

On the other side, if you "X" it out, and "x" is configured to "hide" but not to "close" (or you can play with short/long taps) then you'll have it.

Just surf a few asking for "task Manager" or "X button" and you'll find lots of literature here,
[General Topics] joeyc1123:
im using the stock htc task manager and when i click and hold on the "exclusives" box, nothing happens. thats whats messing me up. my setting is "tap and hold" to close programs.
[General Topics] dwizzy130:
To add a program to the exclusive list. it needs to be running and then it will show up in that list and you check the check box next to it to exclude it.

I'm not sure if this is just me experiencing this problem but I'm using the paid app "Alarming! Alarm Clock" and I have the auto V7 on the newest Cyan experimental. Anyways, my problem is that I can't get the sound much higher then maybe 3/4 normal without V7 mod, if its even that high. Anyone got any suggestions? I've tried using the stock alarm, downloaded another free one, and even made a new alarm with ringdroid.

Been taking some photos today, and have the geotag setting switched on. I take a photo, make sure that the GPS is ok, then upload it to picasa. It still does not geotagg the photo though. Same with flickr.

Note that if i first transfer it my computer, and then to picasa, it tags it as it should.

Anything else i need to do? Is this an issue?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jamssx:
For those that use the Audible.com player will have noticed there is no skin defined for 800x480 and so the player defaults to the smallest. This leaves you with the player in the top left and a corrupt screen unless you use one of the screen resizing utilities. All that is need is to increase the size on the JPG and add them to the skins INI file. Unfortunately Audible tech support don't seem to understand the difference between a Touch and a Touch Pro2 and keep quoting the wrong resolution. Anyway I've made the changes myself and they are attached. Copy the contents of the zip to your device's \Program Files\Audible\skins directory. Only the INI file will overwrite an existing file. I admit the landscape ones aren't as neat as the portrait ones as I couldn't match the gradient but you will usually be using this in portrait anyway.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] thedeportee:
Does anyone have a .cab file for audible? i want to be able to install the player from my phone microsd card instead of having to connect it to my pc to install it.

never mind i found a way to get the cab from the exe

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] headshok:
IE on my mogul used to display mobile.wunderground.com very nicely. On my TP2 it, along with lots of other sites are kinda wacked. Its like the browser window is 3 times the width of the screen, so even on sites that are formatted correctly to be viewed on a small screen, I get a horizontal scroll bar.

I've tried the "desktop/mobile" setting in IE no difference. And I dont like the way opera (both moble and mini) displays sites specific for mobile devices.

On my mogul the user agent is a little different it says IEMobile 7.11, whereas the tp2 user agent has IEMobile 8.12 AND IEMobile 6.0

Even a test page which is nothing more than a index.html file with the word test in it has a scrollbar on my TP2 that has 2 screens of whitespace. .

Is there a registry setting to set the IE user agent? And is there also a setting (registry or file) that reports the window width (like in opera:config)?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] billu:
You probably have a different IE version installed on the TP2. Google for a newer version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ardesmond:
I'm having this problem too, I prefer PIE for certain sites, but the pages that rendered correctly on my Touch Pro are practically useless for all the scrolling around I'm having to do. Any fix for this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] alabij:
Same thing here! I thought t was my mind playig tricks on me but the IE on the TP2 is horrible for mobile sites. I too am awaiting a reg hack or something.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] headshok:
There is a Pocket IE download that replaces the mobile IE on our TP2's. I havent tried it as I figured out how to make opera look nicer...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1890124&postcount=2

Then there is IE toggle, which I havent used either,,,

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=65154

So if anybody wants to experiment with either of these, I'd be interested to find out how mobile.wunderground.com looks under each of those options. I've just been using opera so I decided to leave IE stock.

Is there a way to switch the 'pop-up' menu that comes from a long tap from the 'finger-friendly' to the 'standard'? Sorry about the terms, I'm not sure what they are exactly called (or I could have searched already!).

I've noticed that some roms will prevent sleeping with wmp streaming radio (like the X2.V11 I'm using now), and some roms sleep will happen with streaming (all using wifi). Is there a registry setting that changes that? When I searched for an answer I only found that 'all roms will sleep with wifi streaming wmp' - but I know that isn't true.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Moved to general as not for ROM Development,

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Fallon:
I don't have a land line & leave my phone charging on my headboard at night. My wife has gotten really ticked at it vibrating & making noise whenever it gets an E-mail in the middle of the night.

Is there an easy way to mute everything but the normal phone ringer (still want to get calls in the middle of the night if they come in)? I don't want to mute the phone entirely, as I could miss emergency calls. I'd love to have it quiet everything at a certain time, or at the push of a button, or by running an app or something easy.

The wife is currently threatening to fling my phone out the window if it wakes her up again, & I don't want to disable the sound/vibrate entirely as it wouldn't be effective during the day.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] peeps:
a couple options...

Change Activesync to use off-peak times and set email delivery as manual so that you have to tell it to check for mail during off-peak times. Then you will only get sounds emergency calls, drunk dials, emergency texts, and drunk texts in the middle of the night. This also assumes you don't have any reminders set to sound at midnight...

Use a profile app like G-Profile or PhoneAlarm to control advanced automatic switching of profiles/sounds/notifications based on time of day and day of week or other advanced switching options.

the version of htc volume overlay i have lets me turn the volume down on system all the way while keeping the ringer one up.

Hi I'm thinking about buying this phone, but I noticed it doesn't run on Windows Mobile, is the Android software rich as the WM? I mean, I usually like the small games, Skyfire browser and applications that allow me to silent incoming calls.

Also I've noticed that reviews keep saying it's not comfortable when holding it, could you guys please comment? thanks!

Oh I would also like to ask about it's compatibility , I've had a HTC s620 which broke rather fast, problem was unknown, so this time I need to be really carefull
[G1 General] The Reverend Gridlock:
Are you aware of linux, my friend. This is a different operating system that runs different but somewhat simialiar.

Well android is linux based with a java front end

Is the software as rich as wm, well it depends on what you are looking for.

For most yes, but not all wm has had years in the market and some big companiesmaking software for it, android is still a baby but gets better on a daily basis

Back to os the os, linux is open source while windows and mac are closed source

What this means is that every one has access to the program codes and can modify or advance the os or software, which is why linux moves so fast and advances so quickly.

As for comfort and hardware, I personally at first didn't like it but it did not take long to get used to, now I prefer it
[G1 General] brian_v3ntura:
well.. android definitely is more fun to play with and have than windows mobile. but wm is such a powerhouse dude... if u want a WM device then get the touch pro 2.

as far as skyfire go.. there is no skyfire for android. there might be plans for a port of skyfire tho. i really miss skyfire, and also vtap only searches for youtube on android. vtap for WM searches a good handful of other video streaming sites.

adobe plans to release flash 10 for android as early as october,but i really doubt flash content will be displayed as well as skyfire.
[G1 General] marlopainter:
I've had my G1 for about 2 months now. I absolutely love it.

I have large hands, able to palm a basketball, and I could not find

a comfortable phone. They are getting smaller....

The only issue I ever had with use and comfort was with the the

on-screen keyboard. I had trouble using the keys on the edge of the screen.

I paid a tiny, reasonable fee for an app call 'Better Keyboard' and that solved it all.

The apps/games available for free and purchase is wide with variety.

I discover new things everyday.

This community was recently discovered as well, and a nice inclusion with ownership. :P

I'm not real savvy outside of a windows desktop, but I was able to root

the phone and enjoy advanced features thanks to this community.

There's my 2 pennies. :D
