Man, really thank you for your kindness. Actually, I don't even know how to call someone who designs PDAs/smartphones/whatever :p Dunno about buyers, but I'll answer you in the end of this post...

Meanwhile, I have some nifty updates for you guys, hope you like it!

First of all, these are the tools I'll be using most of the time:

Soldering iron, exacto knife, sharp marker, plier and measuring tape

Plastic soldering (epoxi)

And now, some real results for you, my friends :D

The 1 of 2 skeleton piece prototype

The 1 of 2 skeleton piece, 90% done

Raw material

Cut marking

Work accident (watch out!)

Detached piece

Initial shape

Making the display's FFC hole

Close up of poor man's work

On the actual Wizard

The finished Wizard!

For everyone who asked about this before: I still don't know if I'm gonna sell any of this. The hard part is actually cutting this plastic. I'll be trying some new tools along this and next weeks... If I stumble upon something that makes that task as easy as playing a triangle, then we'll definitely have some chance. :)

Now I'm gonna sleep. Later!

And thank you, everyone!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fredamexis:
I cant understand why almost anyone seems interested in this.. this is a great project! nandobang, you go boy!!

abraço!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jinxie:
you are actually doing it! great!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] erikvario:
would it be possible if you buy a new touchscreen (bigger) and replace it.

but uh how much does they cost?...:):D:D:o

erik

good luck
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nandobang:
Heeey my friends,

I've got some updates on this rainy monday (at least here), some not really good :(

The method I was hoping to work to join the pieces together has failed. Epoxi seems to hold even metal, but plastic seems like an exception, dunno.

So, I'm trying to find alternative methods to join plastic pieces. Cutting is not a problem now, since I've got a "hot cutter", plastic turns like butter, lol.

I have more free time now, so I can think with nothing to worry me.

@fredamexis: lol, people like their Wizards, they just want it not-to-look outdated (or thinner, like me :) )

@jinxie: yeah :D I hope I can do it, lol.

@Hypnoticworld: wow, that's pretty. Wish I had some more pro tools. If everything goes ok, I'll do a CAD like drawing.

@erikvario: God, how I wanted that to be possible. No bigger resolution, just a widescreen LCD would do it! By the way, if anyone here have some knowledge to answer this, please tell me if it would be possible to use a wide LCD on the Wizard...

Well, I'll do some experiments with plastic joining now... :)

Later guys, and thank you, everyone!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jinxie:
you could make some kind of pins on one of the parts, and holes in the other one, and then kind of melting it together...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xusso:
Everybody holding the aging wizard wants this!

Keep up the good work... I really hope it doesn't turn into a nokia!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hbushi:
wow, great job, nandobang, wish we can work on this together. :)

Im sure you've been googleing but I'd try this method by drilling and pins

keep up the good work ...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xusso:
Any updates?

Eager to see the new pictures! ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nandobang:
Hello my friends,

I'm sorry for not posting any news, but college was a top priority issue for me. At least I've got through everything, and boy, that's a big relief!

Well, I've made no progress so far. I have looked at some techniques posted by hbushi, and I'm still trying to figure out the best ($) way to do it.

But, at least I can bring some good info for some people here. For everybody annoyed with the screen bevel that makes us, no-stylus users, a living hell when doing some simple tasks (like closing an app), there MAY BE a workaround the screen bevel.

I've got the Elf Service Manual and looking at the disassembly part I've got the clue I needed: the digitizer.

The Elf's digitizer is attached to the frontal glass/acrylic/whatever-you-want-to-call-it, and the LCD itself rests below it.

For the Wizard, the digitizer is attached directly into the LCD. It is a very thin plastic-like skin. I have managed to pull a small corner of it, but didn't wanted to screw all up.

So here's my theory: if the Wizard's digitizer were to be "glued" on a thin plastic that is parallel to the case's surface, that would remove the bevel.

If someone got any spare digitizer and would like to test this, I think a lot of people would be happy to check the results.

I'm going back to researching and development, let's hope I get any way to do this case.

Thanks you, everyone!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xusso:
We want to see more!!

Any updates?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] yerand:
how's the project going? looks amazing so far :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] exemike:
Haven't been on in a while, but Wow is this project kicking but!

I'm interested on how this magic development is progressing. :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nandobang:
Hello guys,

Here I am, at the end of my efforts to beautify our Wizards. Unfortunatelly, I couldn't make any real progress, as my vacations ended, and my time runned too short.

But there is more... My Wizard's earpiece broke, dunno how. A new one costs around R$ 100,00 (US$ 54~). One of the pins that make contact to the motherboard has fallen. A new phone costs R$ 200,00, so you guys already know what that means...

Also, my camera is not working properly. The image keeps disappearing and reappearing, and THAT's annoying!

So, unfortunatelly, I'm closing this project.

I am VERY sorry for everyone who waited for this, and I'll be very glad if anyone wants to follow on, just PM me and I'll send the files I have.

Long life to the Wizard, as it is a great phone!

Thanks to everyone who were with me along this time!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jinxie:
too bad ir did't work mate, anyways you did an awesome job designing everything, and the idea was great, hope someone will try to do it in the future..

my wiz is a bit like yours, the gsm antenna is still broken, the powr button is stuck so i have to press it very hard to make it work, and the lcd looks.. don't know kinda funny. I can't sell it like this, and i don't have the money (well i do but no the will to spend it) on a better phone.. so i guess i will have to find the way to fix the damn antenna!

see you around dude.. (Y)

[General Topics] prank1:
Hey everyone

I was just wondering, with the first Windows Mobile Capacitive touchscreen device (HTC Leo / HD2) will older windows applications still work, as they are obviously designed for resistive screens?

I read somewhere (but cannot remember where) that only specific applications designed for capacitive screens will work on the new HTC Leo.

Just wondering because I will be purchasing a HTC Leo when it comes out, and I wouldn't like to find that all my old applications don't work lol.

Thanks..
[General Topics] mr_Ray:
Whatever you have heard is nonsense.

The application has no idea what type of screen you're using, it just knows that the OS told it "the user clicked here". That's the entire purpose of things like operating systems and device drivers, to abstract all of this stuff away so the appscan "just work".

The Leo WILL run all the same apps you get on any other 6.5 device.
[General Topics] Shasarak:
What you read was probably that only specific applications designed for the Leo will support multi-touch (e.g. pinch-zoom).
[General Topics] prank1:
Lol thats exactly what I thought... but you know people and their silly rumors :p

And it definately was about 3rd party applications lol.

I just wanted to be 100% sure before I spend over £500 on a device!

Thanks for your help. Maybe it will clear up a bit of confusion for others aswell.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] saadie:
Applications are not connecting to GPRS, if it makes sense.

The Weather is updating without any issues, applications such as the the web browsers, and youtube and google maps isnt working atall.

I tried hard resetting the phone, the problem still persists.

What do I do ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] opensea:
"Connection Setup" in the connection menu will help. Select your country and your operator the tap "ok". It will setup the proper connection automaticly. Hope it helps.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] saadie:
Those were the settings I originally had, they stopped all of a sudden, I dont get how the weather updates and how the rest of the things dont work :\
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pa49:
In the connections section make sure you have proxy settings unchecked.

They have an annoying habit of re-enabling with my carrier (T-mobile).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] saadie:
there are two check boxes in the proxy settings tab

1 ) this network connects to the internet

2 )this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet

then theres a box to put the proxy

the first check box automatically enables itself, the weather thing doesnt work if the this box is unchecked

the second box is always disabled
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pa49:
It's not that then.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] opensea:
By the way, flashing a newer radio might also help.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] saadie:
I switched to this rom

udK_Leo_R3_WM65_WWE

everything seems to be working just fine now
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] millowster07:
Hey there all I just need some help I have some sounds that are from the hero and magic official roms that I have collected from these forums. instead of running off SDcard I want them on the phones memory since I have a MT3g I have plenty of mem and don't run BIG apps.

What I have been doing is running ADB and pushing files from my hard drive to the phones memory in /system/media/audio/ directory. I have to do this every time I re flash a rom. I would like to make this easy by flashing it from zip or in an APK if possible... Do you guys think this would be possible? :rolleyes::D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
First of all, wrong forum. Please post questions like this in the General forum.

Secondly, you can create a folder on your SD card called 'media' and store your files there in the same structure as you'd put them on your ROM system area.

It'll still find them there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] millowster07:
OOps sorry I will post over there. I thought since it had to do with flashing or building an APK it would be fine here.

I have run if from my Class 6 SD like that but I still get a delay for notifications. So as I said I dont want to run from SD.

But thanks.. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jjblaster3:
ROM development has come to an end... Reason is i got a new device and had to sell my htc kaiser in the process.

i recently learned how to cook roms and had great help from many people (much appreciation to them)... cant mention all of them coz i probably dont remember but a few are TPC, OndraSter, mbarvian, joshkoss, S.V.I, Anryl, Da_g, stylez and more. sry if i dint mention u :P

FYI - i don't hold myself responsible for any damages caused by my roms. I advise that if u dont know what ur doing, do some research on how to flash a rom and always remember to have hardspl before flashing any custom rom, i would suggest reading the [Resources] Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs) thread

ok so i like full roms and i recently made a stable version with which im on my 3rd day now and i would like people to give their opinions on my rom i.e the things which may not be needed in a full rom or perhaps the things which should be added...

native 6.5 kernel is used in this rom (no more recmodding :D)

the rom is loaded, but its smooth as can be.

i would like to hear ur feedback so that we "together" can make the perfect full rom

p.s. for at&t tilt users, install tilt keybd fix

thanks to joaquinrl, this rom can now be translated into spanish & portuguese for all spanish & portuguese users who would like to get a taste of my rom... info on how to do it is found here

Button mapping:

PTT button - comm manager

PTT button hold - Hibernate (small clean ram app)

OK button under jog wheel - home screen/m2d home tab

OK button under jog wheel hold - AE button plus action menu

Tap X to minimize

Tap&Hold X to close

//ameba settings in tools menu to customiza :D

23529 no lzx... more info here

oh i also recommend to extract the attached zip-compressed reg file into storage card/XDA_UC (recommended to put it before flashing) to maximize performance.

-if u cant access the links inside the multiupload link, i took the liberty of attaching a txt file with them contained (please use only when u cant access multiupload)

-XDA_UC included in rom, read here to see how it works and other stuff updated here

ps FOR ALL THOSE EXPERIENCING HARD RESET/SOFT RESET/BOOTING ISSUES WHICH CAN NOT BE SOLVED BY A SIMPLE SOFTRESET, PLEASE FLASH TO STOCK ROM FIRST, THEN RE-FLASH TO MY ROM. note that this mostly happens on the full rom.

Before posting any questions, please read the FAQ located on the 3rd post

kitchen files + apps + old builds

Kitchen files:

these files are osKitchen ready(can be found here)... you can use other kitchens, but you must be aware of the file & folder arrangement of that kitchen in order to plug in these ones.

EXT (read the readme file contained): zshare, multiupload

OEM: zshare, multiupload

NK: zshare, multiupload

ROM: zshare, multiupload

-------------------------------------------x--------------------------------------------------x----------------------------------------------------------

-manila 2d for light users found here, just install manila cab n ur ready to go(every other requirement included)... also u can install gfx manila cab(saves rom space) if u want, it also works

old builds, wouldnt recommend flashing but kept just in case...

Good job man. Glad to see you aren't the sheep like every other rom cooker. Been looking for a WM6.5 rom with 85MB ram. Especially a new WM6.5 23060.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Dukenukemx:
Just flashed it myself. Anyone interested in running GLbenchmark will need to do this.

UPDATE: GLbenchmark doesn't seem to wanna go past the second test. Either that, or I'm not giving it a lot of time. Doesn't matter, cause Call of Duty 2 works with 3D acceleration. :3 Now I can finally look into other 3D applications, like Quake 3.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Spado:
Great.. I like the spirit of making ROMS on newer builds and to try to keep them fast :) :D..

In the past I tried a huge quantity of ROMs (I flash a new ROM about every week), last 6.5.1 are TPC and Shifu's ROMS... TPCs are ugly SLOW! They are also beautiful, but aren't utilizable as also in message writing them stuck (lose most of letters!)!

Otherwise Shifu's ROM (3.1 is on 6.5.1 23049) is amazingly fast and well loaded!

It has S2U2 (that's beautiful and most of all helpful cause if you have a lost call, with new Mega Manila you can't see it, but with S2U2 if you click on the icon and then slide you see it :D...)..

Also Shifu's ROM has volume toggle mapped to the PPT button :P! Beautiful icons, "Isaac Mizrahi purple" and Menu Enhancement are the touch of cosmetic perfection of the ROM..

I really love it..

You can take example on his ROM and make even a better ROM with all this, newer build and maybe faster speed :D ;)!

I will wait a true ROM that can have these features :D!

Oh.. and also CA Drivers are helpful for graphic performance, aren't them?

Why did you took out them ;)?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jeanpiere:
Just a few things

Firstly congrats on making this ROM, great work.

Couple of issues i found which if improved could make it even more awesome:

1. You may which to consider using the ver 5.04 camera drivers instead of v6 as our autofocus doesnt work at all with v6.

2. There's are missing link to the comm manager, doesnt get mapped to any keys and i cant find it available for mapping in the "Buttons" cpl

3. Backlight brightness adjustment doesnt work.

4. Consider using a different version of the "Album" app. The included one doesnt render corectly and is more limited in functionallity.

5. Quick Gps updates but wont apply update, punks out with an error.

6. Not sure about you but seems there are battery drainage issues too.

Like i said great work. The above are jus bugfix suggestions for making great work even better :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sofir786:
Yes battery drain is a problem, cos 40% went without any use of the phone in 7 hours, and i mean no usage cos i was asleep lol, wonder what could be causin this drain, i also noticed a lot of ram being used almost 70% at one point
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Dukenukemx:
I didn't experience any strange battery drainage. Over night, it only lost 3% power. Then again, I changed the power settings with AdvancedConfig 3.3, as I always do when I flash a new rom.

I go into battery and enable all the power management stuff. Go into phone to turn on fast sleep. Enable phone sleep during call. I also remember the power settings were set really strange too. Like 30 minutes for it to sleep when plugged in.

Quick Gps asks for location setting to be on. Not sure what that is, but it doesn't matter. I use GPStest, and iGo seems to run just fine.

I can't adjust the back-light either.

Just a note, would be nice if jjblaster3 could offer a version without Manilla 2D. Also, since it's 85MB ram, should probably come with the HTC graphics drivers. The internal storage also seems limited, like it's not using compression. Maybe offer a version with compression enabled?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] drownage:
Wow, much faster than 23053... 23053 was laggy like crazy... This one seems much responsive... Some little bugs here and there like when connecting to a wifi hotspot... but overall much preferrable over other roms... TFS...

Edit: For the battery problem... I noticed, this ROM has super BIG volume... maybe that cud cause it?>
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Dukenukemx:
drownage, I noticed the high volume too. It seems to only drain battery life when it rings. :p I've lowered it a lot to acceptable levels.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ljinsane:
i need to see some screenshots before i venture into this one
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] drownage:
I can confirm that the backlight adjustment is NOT working...

ljinsane, its the same Manila Mega layout.. Screens wont be much different... its jsut faster, and more responssive... and the gfx drivers are much better than what i have seen so far...

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jjblaster3:
alright cool, i might just leave that till later...

anyways been tryin a few options lately, n i donno what i did but battery consumption while the phone is in standby mode has been reduced quite alot...

I just wanted to ask that under normal circumstances how much battery is drained while listenin to music or accessing the internet thru java? (i got so used to the drain that i dont even remember now)

if there is a small/no difference from my usage then i think the battery drain issue has been fixed and will upload the updated full and light versions.
