[P3470 General] stevedebi:
I just installed an update from the HTC site, so I thought I'd post it here. It is just a hotfix to enhance security when doing BT FTP transfers. The attached file is a zip file, just unzip the exe and copy to your P3470.

The site had two notes:

"1. This hotfix can only be applied on Touch Diamond/ Diamond (P3702)/ Touch Pro/ Touch HD/ Touch 3G/ Touch Cruise/ Touch Viva/ Touch Dual/ Touch Cruise (09)/ Touch/ TyTN II/ Advantage X7501/Advantage X7510/ P6500/ P3300/ P3400/ P4000/ P4350/ P3470/ P6300/ S620/ S630/ S640/ S710/ S730/ S740 which has the FTP service preinstalled. Before installing, please first check to see if the FTP service is on your phone by tapping Settings > Communications > Settings > Bluetooth and verifying there is tab named FTP.

2. If there is a pop-up message saying “This hotfix is not compatible with your device,” it means the device has applied the fix already or device doesn’t have the BT FTP service and the phone does not need to install it.

Installation instructions

Follow the instructions below to download and install the hotfix on your device:

1. Make sure you have Microsoft ActiveSync® installed on your Windows XP PC or Windows Mobile Device Center on your Windows Vista® PC. You can find Microsoft ActiveSync from this link or Windows Mobile Device Center from this link.

2. Connect and synchronize your device with your PC via Microsoft ActiveSync® or Windows Mobile Device Center using the USB cable.

3. To download this hotfix select the hotfix below and the location closest to you then click Download.

4. Copy the hotfix, which is an .exe file, to your device. To install the hotfix, tap the .exe file and follow the on-screen instructions.

Note: If you perform a device hard reset, you will need to reinstall the hotfix after the hard reset."

All works fine BUT now have a initial splash screen (the one that shows radio ver etc before load screen) which is 'snowy' 'static' 'pixalated' completely unreadable!

Not a big problem but is there any fix for this?

Well, with the new M2D version comes the option to skin clock animations, so I didnt posted this on the old skin threads.

To use it, you'll need this M2D version posted by whitealien:

NEW! 3D rotating clock by TWolf:

I started by doing the full 3D rotation but it was getting to heavy and with too many files, so I simplified it.

The CABS install themselves to the Windows folder, and theres also the original skin attached, in case you want it back.

EDIT: Updated the original skin with the clock background, as its obvious ppl will use it on future skins.

Enjoy.

[Windows Mobile Themes] S.V.I:
I made mine rotate intead of flip. I cant post a screen shot though because my internet is down. :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] twolf:
Well, skinning the clock wont help you there, lol... :D

Im trying to do something like this:

But good looking. Havent done a clean layout I liked yet, so I'll just keep at it.

Also, half the files arent needed, if we do the animation already with both numbers on each frame, like so, the animation with the seven turning into eight will have both the numbers on the same PNG, no need to separate the upper and lower part of the seven and eight.

Since its not a good idea to delete them, maybe simply replace them by a 1x1 px transparent png.

;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] S.V.I:
S.V.I Rotating Clock

I decided to post this clock after all.

I figured that someone can use it as a template for the animation.

After figuring out the math, it is supposed to move @9 pixels per frame in case anyone is interested. This one however moves @10 pixels per frame. depending on what type of animation you want to make you may want to adjust +/-. for example I am in the proccess of making digits that will bounce before they stop; and I also want to make a fading animation; I also want to make something that looks as though it was a radar echo (don't know the tech term for that) where there will be a line that comes down and draws the digits. I figure that since we have 20 frames per number to work with we can get REALLY creative!;)

I have template PSD's for the animation. All you have to do is insert your own font. That should make things a lot easier. If any skinner is interested, PM me.

@TWolf: I tried replacing the background 0001-0009 with empty 2x2pxl images and it did not work. The images CAN be empty but MUST have the same dimensions as the 0000 file.
[Windows Mobile Themes] twolf:
beautiful!

If you havent finished it yet, I'd advise some flattenning and vertical blur of the moving digits and a light reflected glow on the background wheel animation. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] S.V.I:
That's a great idea about the blur. Will definitely do. I am trying to make sure that these files are small enough. So keeping it simple is a priority. as it is now, the animation is so smooth that I am ready to move forward.

This clock is only 168kb right now. Soon it will be even smaller :)

As for the reflected light, this will require to not only have a gradient, but 2 extra colors as well; both requiring gradients and mixing. this would increase the file size to much more than I would like. Perhaps once I get rid of all the other background images I will not worry about it so much.

I am reluctant to release the final project though. I spent an entire day yesterday figuring out how I was going to do it and the math involved. then about 6 hours making the gfx. F'n tedious work. There are so many people on this forum that have no appreciation for the kind of work that we, pixel pushers do and just how much time is required to do it. That is kind of starting to piss me off. people seem to think that we edit 700+ graphics for manila with the help of some deity and it just gets done by magic in the course of 5min.

In other words, I decided to pull the same stunt that another former member pulled one year ago. Anything I make from now on will be only available by PM. this is to alienate freeloaders; not to get donations. There are a lot of people here that contribute to XDA in the form of money or technical work or help, and a lot that are simple parasites... Why should I work two days straight on a skin or a program for those people? I can't account how many times I have spent time in chat sessions (sometimes more than a day each) helping XDA users fix their phones or resolve software issues. Or the roms that I cooked and optimized specifically for the end-user.

And after all that; with the exception of a few users; I feel as though I have just been wasting my time.:mad:
[Windows Mobile Themes] twolf:
I understand what you mean and tottally respect your position...

I heard the story of that great designer and almost every week feel the disrespect of newbies that demand us to be there to help them, whatever the problem is. :(

But the best way not to get bothered is really just let go and leave it all out there for ppl to use and abuse it.

Anyway, if you use transparency on your skin, the file bg_clock_assets_0000.png is always present, the others just run on top of it. So that one is the real background of the clock.
[Windows Mobile Themes] magicalan:
Can you make the font of this one black :D please :P

It would be perfect if you may consider changing color of AM/PM to white so it's go along with the clock itself. I'm rather using 12-hours format than 24-hours format. Anyway, it's bearable and not a big deal having it black.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AlexDevSSX:
Don't Worry :) Easy Fix!

Hi, I know it can be a little nerve racking to buy your new MyTouch, go through the process of rooting it, and going through the trouble of flashing a HERO ROM unto your MyTouch only to find that it get's stuck in the HERO Screen :) Well the good thing about your situation is that it is fairly easy to fix. Power off your unit, start it up by pressing your home and power button simultaneously, choosing "wipe data/factory reset," then choose "Format SD: fat32+ext2+swap," and then choose "convert ext2 to ext3." and power off your phone. Once that is completed, take your SD card out of your phone, copy your new ROM unto the SD Card from your computer, rename it "update", and then restart your phone in the same way as before (holding down home +power.) When you get the RAv1.2.1G sytem recovery screen again, click on "Apply sdcard:update.zip," and let it go through the whole process, and voila!, you should be done. In the event that you run into the same problem again, merely do a "wipe data/factory reset" again, and try to do the update with a different HERO ROM. Which HERO ROM are you trying to flash anyway?

Hope this helps. Take Care.:)

I bought a unlocked HTC Hero originally T-mobile branded.

I followed the instructions on Unlockr to Root the phone.

I then downloaded the 2.3 Modaco rom and flashed it to the phone exactly as described by Unlocker. HOWEVER as suggested (strongly) on the Modaco post in these forums I did not do a nandroid backup of the original HTC(t-mobile) rom on the phone.

When i restarted the phone it simply goes from the power up screen, to the HTC screen, then to the Tmobile branded screen then to a black screen the restarts. During this cycle no buttons work. If i take the battery out and turn the phone on I can get to recovery etc.

How can I either install the rom correctly or bring it back to how it was or in any way make the phone usable again.
