[Touch HD General] MAMeingast:
Ah - ok! I thought there was some special way to copy and paste using the stylus. Yes: That's very true. Text selection is alot easier with the stylus. That would be an issue they'd have to address on the HD2. Isn't there some zoom & select feature on the iphone? That would make alot of sense to me...

Ok - some games do require a DPAD. But many new games will not, specifically because devices like the HD and the HD2 do not have one. Also, as I've said: screen size is everything to me. I don't really care for games (there are enough good games working without a DPAD) and prefer a bigger screen. And that was my point: Your post began with the sentence "Think most people would agree with me and state they wished the HD had a d-pad" and I just wanted to reply: I don't! ;)
[Touch HD General] Toss3:
I only use the stylus when I play solitaire and surf the web; clicking links could be quite an annoyance without a stylus.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
No probs, but I actually agree with you. I don't really use the stylus at all any more and I'm not into gaming that much either, but there has been a lot of development in the software forum for a d-pad for games not specifically designed for the HD so there is still a demand for a d-pad.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Think this is were some of the improvements in the HD may really shine with the new capacitive screen. Hopefully this will make browsing more like the iphone experience...or hopefully better again. Only time will tell.
[Touch HD General] leftkats:
Regarding the zoom thing.. I saw a video the other day where igo8 was running on HD2, and the guy would pitch and zoom on the map, but it seemed as the whole program was zoomed in, not just the map. If this is true and it can be achieved in other programs then selecting text won't be (that much of) a problem...
[Touch HD General] gerryjoson:
IMHO, having no D-pad is a major pain, particularly with single handed contact's selection and controlling music FF,play,pause,skip without having to pull it out of your pocket, turn the screen on and do it there.....it really is such a backward's step for what I've just said, its not even debatable in my eye's

Have tried a couple of games with the onscreen controls briefly and thats as much as I ever want to try it....I thought it was useless.....missing D-pad's is one of the biggest backward's step's with most newer model's for me.

Stylus is my reason for using WM, if it didn't have it, I wouldn't use it, high res screen's with small text and icon's, precision, clean screen, faster typing [for me]...stylus is windows mobile imo, although the shell's and interface add on's have made them much more useful without a stylus...what's the point, might as well buy one of the other three major mobile OS's as you lose the benefit's of point precision combined with dense data and high resolution.

The stylus is less of a pain on the diamond and HD because pulling it out also turn's the device on, although I would prefer it top mounted than the bottom.

My 2 cent's anyway.
[Touch HD General] MAMeingast:
Regarding text selection on the HD2:

http://pocketnow.com/software-1/selecting-text-on-the-htc-hd2
[Touch HD General] wilbur:
in that video he says that new text selection functionality is only available in the HTC Sense part of the UI, and not in the basic Windows Mobile bits... which is a shame.

The main use of a direction pad / rollerball for me is selecting links while browsing, esp where there is a long vertical list of links to chose from - using my G1 if i don't use the rollerball I am always hitting the wrong one (and I don't want to zoom in just to select a link!).

Having switched to Android, the only reason I feel like giving WMob another go is the specs on this thing - primarily the RAM, which is just awesome. I guess that given that most of the new ultra-high-end android devices that I am chosing between are similar in not having any other form of input other than the screen (htc rachel, acer liquid etc) I guess it shouldn't alter my choice much.

I think the real deciding factor is that the HD2 is going to be the first one that is actually going to make it to the market and the fact that i am eligable for an upgrade is burning a hole in my pocket!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thierry2064:
Hi,

I tried several settings, notably Schapps advanced config, also registry editions (HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/showTitleBarClock among others), I could change the battery icon to the analog clock icon but could not get rid of both. I do not need the battery because I use WkTask which shows the battery status on a thin line above the notification bar, and I'd like to save the space for running applications shown by WkTask. Any working solution on WM6.5 stock Rom ?

Thanks

Thierry

Don't forget bluetooth! I can't figure out how to get that stupid icon off of there. If the phone is visible, headset, whatever, but not just "on", that's annoying.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Manos_Arriba:
Hi,

How can I organise the Start Menu items into folders within WinMo 6.5?

Either after cooking the ROM or from the Kitchen?

Kind Regards.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mike1986.:
You can take a look into initflashfiles.dat in OEM and if you want create your own folders you should create app.dat files with f.g.

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Internet")

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Internet"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\Internet.ico.lnk")

To create ico file you need to know how to put resources into dll file. There was some thread on this forum about creating the icons.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Manos_Arriba:

I am looking to find if there is a way to resign an APK that is already signed by an unknown key?

I have tried the autosign script but it did not end up resigning with my key (or at least when I verified the apk it did not find a key in my keystore that the apk was signed with).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hcadiz:
For those who have modified their own kernels, how long does it take for a newly installed system to boot up? Why is the first-time boot always the longest? What influences this first-time boot period? How can it be sped up?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
The first boot boots up the "android.process.acore" that is the reason why its taking so long.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hcadiz:
How long does this usually take? 30 minutes? 1 hr? I am trying to cook my own kernel but I don't know how long to wait before I consider my efforts a failure and to try again.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] adamwest:
from brief searching about replacing the screen, it was thought that it is easier to buy the LCD and the digitizer ready assembled then you don't have to unstick the 2 parts or solder any cables
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] colbad:
squandering

I use this option too.

But sometimes just the touchscreen is damaged and it would

be a squandering to trash the working Lcd.

Please gimme useful advises

For those interested this should be avaliable in the UK "by the middle of next month"

Not sure if I'm convinced by the online nature of it, when I most need sat nav I'm often somewhere remote or abroad, still the winmo version was good
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tstack77:
If the abroad you're planning to visit is in North America, stay far away from a Navigon product. They pulled their stand-alone units from the market here because their routing algorithms were complete ****. They have pretty maps and work well over the pond, but do not trust them to get you anywhere but lost in the States.

Just google navigon+routing+problems and you'll get the idea.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] incaaa:
So i hear Navigon for Android is finally out. Unfortunately i don't have paid apps market here. There should be 30-day trial for that.

Navigon is way the best nav app in europe as far as i know. At least it is that way on iPhone. And i have seen them a lot.

I also have a question. How could i obtain it, if i don't have access to market.

Hey,

i've made a Bootscreen for my TD2 and want to share it.

This is NOT the first Splash Screen with "Touch Diamond 2", this is the second and third image which is shown at the startup of the TD2.

If you have any ideas for other screens, let me know it, i can make them ;)

Example:

If you have a carrier-branded FIRST Splash Screen try the attached file "TOPAIMG.zip". You have to flash it to your device. This ist the standard HTC-Image.

Watch out: This performs a hardreset!!

So the other File "Bootscreen No1.cab" is the Image shown above.

Thanks for reading!

Hi Folks,

I got a headphone adapter for my phone because I wanted to use it as an MP3 player which works extremely well... until I receive a call. At which point the microphone inside the phone seems to be disabled so the person at the other side can't hear me. I assume this is because it thinks the headphones are a proper headset (inc mic) and that the sound should be coming from there!

I looked into writing an android app to fix this, but it seems the SDK doesn't let you mix and match microphone and sound sources (unless I missed something), so I am currently looking for a headset which:

1. Has in ear buds (my work colleagues don't care much for very loud Nevermore)

2. Has a microphone built in

I have been looking for hours now but pretty much every one I can find is identical to the one which came with the phone which has pretty crap sound for music, and doesn't stay in my ears! I would go for bluetooth but I hear the sound quality from music for those is terrible and they're very expensive. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Tony_M:
Goggle or eBay "HTC HS U110". I got one from eBay for 9 bucks plus shipping and they work just fine. I'm using Shure SE210 with the cord that has the microphone so I can't comment on the stock earbud quality.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] majoraccent:
Are there any places that sell just a simple mini-usb adapter <-> 3.5mm with a built-in microphone for cheaper than the ~$13 for the full HTC HS U110 kit from ebay?

I know that you can find these adapters for the iphone for a couple of bucks apiece (for the defective headphone jack). I'd like to be able to buy a bunch for my MT3G and leave them lying around wherever I might need one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] bassderek:
Try browsing around amazon.com

I bought the oem htc 3-in-1 adapter for $3 from one of the retailers on amazon. I don't think that one has a mic built in, but has a 3.5mm and 2.5mm jacks that i believe support headphones/sets with built in mics. You might be able find the basic miniusb->3.5mm jack and mic hole (like the one that comes with the mt3g) as well..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] majoraccent:
The HTC 3-in-one adapter was halfway broken with cupcake, and almost completely useless with donut, unfortunately. There was the toggleheadset.apk utility as a workaround, but it no longer works. I'll probably just buy a bunch of the 3.5mm adapters with no microphone from ebay; they're available for <$2 each including shipping.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] phatmanxxl:
I can confirm that the 3.5mm jack on the 3in1 adapter will not work on the MT3G. Although the mini usb works if you use the HTC headphones. I also tried the HTC two way thing and it didn't work either. fyi the htc headphones that came with the Tmobile Dash have a high quality sound, better than the ones that came with the MT3G and my 09 shadow, those are just crap.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] bassderek:
I use the 3in1 adapter in my car every day to charge and listen to music on my car stereo via the 3.5mm jack, and I have a MT3G. Maybe its something in cyanogen's rom.. I think I remember reading something about that somewhere?

It would be nice to find adapters with the mic built in, I have the one that came with the phone that I use with some sony in-ears I bought, but it would be nice to have extras.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] visitador02:

How do you like the product? Am thinking about getting one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Alphabet Soap:
Skip the adaptor stuff

and go Bluetooth. I bought this a couple of weeks back

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-S...3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1264584185&sr=8-3

pretty decent sound quality, controls for skip forward, back, vol +, vol- and play/pause. has a built in mic for calls (pauses music when your phone rings, answer and hang up with the play/pause button) and about 2 seconds to pair it up.

won't work with hero roms obviously, but cheap as chips and I'm sure they do it in the US too.

I've finished my first ROM for my rw6828, flashed it, but some problems appears.

1. I have no certificate installed on my device. Tried to install third party certificate, but a message box shows "The certificate was not successfully added. Please restart your device and try again." I've restarted it, but it still shows the same. Could someone tell what is wrong whit my ROM?

2. I can't change my theme at all. I think it has something to do with my certificate problem, but still I don't have the answer...

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to restore the windows default icons back to original. I found the start menu icon editor, but thats not exactly what i''m looking for. The problem are the icons i see in file explorer for example, the folder icons looks like crap now (probably installed those icons sometime ago, but i wanna get rid of them :) )

So is there a way to completely restore ALL windows mobile 6.5 icons back to normal? (prefered incl start menu)

use jwmd icon changer then move the path into \Windows directory.

there you can find all the resources.

it's will be better on performance & not wasting your ram space.

quite bigger though if you put a lot of png's, especially those with 16.8colors ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Calleh:
I used JWMD Icon Changer for my problem, works really well.

My problem was that I accidently removed the image/icon from three links/icons. I tried what muhrizky said, but no luck.

When JWMD scanned the Windows catalog it just stopped, I have no idea why. But the icons inside \Windows\,

so I searched for them with Total Command and copied them to my newly created folder(My Icons) on my storage card.

Once copied to the same folder I scanned that folder with JWMD and I could easily change back my icons =)

Hey anyone know what happened to Mystic ROM by juggernaut. I was using it for awhile and kind of waiting for the next non-beta release but now I can't even find the thread anymore using search. Was the project scrapped with the new TP2 release or is it still in progress. If it has been scrapped can anyone recommend a replacement.

Thanks for the useless advice, if you noticed in my original post I said that I have searched the board several times and can't find the ROM anymore and I was wondering if someone knew what happened.

That's too bad I agree it has the best battery and memory management, any suggestions on a good replacement though. I kinda prefer to have one that has both TF3D2 and titanium.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] |Jason8|:
TF3D2 and memory management... That's a good one.

I was a dedicated believer in his May 10th 21222 build. It had amazing battery life and I could run for 2+ weeks without soft-resetting my phone. He tried making some newer versions and could never get the same kind of performance and reliability.

Those are the old versions of his ROM's. The more recent ones were version 1.7 and 1.9, and no trace of those postings are available.
