[G1 Android Development] TomasTrek:
I can only speak from my own experience here but I find the easiest way to learn how to program is by setting yourself a task and then teaching yourself what you need to accomplish it. I taught myself perl having never written a line of code before, because I wanted to make a program that could sign in to messenger, aggregate rss feeds and send me the links. It just requires logical thinking to be able to break down the huge task into smaller and smaller chunks until you have somewhere to start.

Reading and modifying other people's code, depending on the other person is actually a far better way to learn how to program. Code has rules that lead to maintainability and readability. I'm not just talking about syntax, I mean things like upper case constants, member prefixing and others that are not apparent unless you see them done and realise their value. It's hard to teach those things without real world examples.

I'd encourage people to download eclipse, get the android sdk and find an android programming forum (www.anddev.org). Then come up with an idea and chip away at it a piece at a time until it is complete.

What I'm really getting at is that this method of starting from the very basic beginnings may work for some people. Maybe for a lot of people. It will not work for everyone though and my experience was the absolute opposite of this. I just threw myself in and thrashed until I could swim. So if you're trying to do it from the basics and feel like giving up, PLEASE try what I said. I'll be willing to help anyone who is putting in the effort if they send me a PM (and if I get time. Don't be offended if not - my job takes priority unfortunately)

Sorry for going off on one here. I'm just a passionate programmer.

who cares if he drizzy drake robbed it... I would a never found that actual tutorial.. not tryna pop off on u but I'm just saying let homie rock....
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
something I'm concerned about, though, I really don't think you're going to find in this forum the kind of people it takes to program, it takes a different kind...

You'll notice if you look at the view count that threads where something is already done and ready to consume are very, very popular (millions of views for some). On the other hands, threads where we try to either teach people something, or debug something, or get something broken working, we'll, they're pretty much ignored by all except the ones who should really be in this forum.

I blame Google/HTC/T-Mobile for trying to position the G1 as a poor person's iPhone, it attracts a certain kind of... people... on top of us all geeks that got it because we were excited about the amount of tinkering it would open up.

[Touch Diamond CDMA] jbanner99:
I have a sprint htc diamond ported over to Metropcs. I've put Calkulins v4 rom on it and set up the network as described in posts on this site with the proxies to wap.metropcs.net port 3128 for all but secure wap where I use port 443. Internet works fine. To make my gmail account work I found that the connection it was using was "The Internet" which does not use a proxy. I changed it to the connection I added manually and it works fine. The problem is that programs like Windows Live don't have the option of not using "The Internet" connection and I can't find it in connection mgr to change it to use a proxy. Facebook also fails to connect and I don't know if I can use a different connection for that either. Another odd thing is that this worked fine until about a week or two ago. It's like Metro made some kind of network change. Additionally, when I use a wifi connection I am able to use windows live and facebook with no problem. Any ideas? Thanks.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] explisiv:
metro woes

i have a sprint diamond flashed to metro and i dont have a problem with facebook. but windows live needs a better connection to set up and i suggest wifi to set it up. then it should work with the over the air network.

try my fox rom and if you want the metro wap and mms cab i can definitly send it to you friend!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC Touch Freak:
Yeah the phone has a higher res screen and the picture was sent from a phone with a small screen and sorry camera or screen size. That is why your picture is small. Try saving it and viewing it with the HTC album and Zoom-in. That should work.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyouwsy:
no that is not the problem becuz the pictures recieved are max 3kb. so its a thumb.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
sounds like post#2 had it right. While you CAN change the max send/receive limit on MMS messages... typically they are 300k by default; usually the receive limit is 600kb. Here is my edited MMS Settings I cook with. I increase my limits up to 600k send and 1Mb receive. SampleMMSC is just the name I used, it could be anything.

You can check this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\MMSCSetting\[b]SampleMMSC[/b]]
"waptype"=dword:00000001
"GatewayPort"=dword:00000050
"MmscURI"="http://mmsc.cingular.com"
"Gateway"="wireless.cingular.com"
"Name"="AT&T MMS"
[b]"WAP1RecvDefaultSize"=dword:000FA000
"WAP2RecvDefaultSize"=dword:000FA000[/b]
"SendDefault"=dword:00096000
"ConnectionVia"="{B2AD7D1D-2C4B-494B-B324-42EEC882B71B}"
[b]"WAP1SendDefaultSize"=dword:00096000
"WAP2SendDefaultSize"=dword:00096000[/b]
"ISP"="SampleMMSC"

Looking at this code, WAP1RecvDefaultSize = FA000 (1024kb or 1mb)

WAP1SendDefaultSize = 96000 (600kb)

But I think the reasoning is that most phones don't have a high resolution. So full screen on my wife's phone is 240x320... plus most phones compress the image down for sending via MMS to usually 120x160... which as you can imagine would look tiny on our 480x800 screens. Just depends on the phone.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cokeyblokey:
my registry entry is correct:

"WAP1RecvDefaultSize"=dword:000FA000

"WAP2RecvDefaultSize"=dword:000FA000

The problem for me is definitely with my carrier - o2.

As my TD2 is not from o2 and they don't actually sell this phone, they don't recognise the user-agent in WspHeader. Because they don't recognise it, they then compress the mms image right down to between 3 and 6k. I can send full size mms and they are received by others fine but anything I receive is compressed. I have sent myself mms - it leaves at around 250k but arrives at 6k.

I have found posts about changing the user-agent and profile in WspHeader to a device that o2 recognises but none of these changes have worked for me.

I'd be interested to see what anyone else on o2 (uk) that can receive mms of 300k, has for their user-agent and profile in the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\User-Agent]

and

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\Profile]
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Druboo:
Has been driving me nuts for weeks as well :rolleyes: However I was sure that when I first got the phone (pre flashing cooked ROMS) that I received MMS @ full size.

So today, in desperation I flashed the official Topaz 6.5 ROM. Sent a test MMS to myself and hey presto it came back full size YAY.

Looking at the registry for Arcsoft/Arcsoft MMS UA/Config there are a hell of a lot more subkeys and values than was in the cooked ROM, so next step is to copy everything down reflash the cooked ROM and add all the subkeys and values. I may be some time LOL :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramcid:
I have exactly the same problem, flashed mine with 'Duttys Topaz WM6.5 Leo R7 WWE' rom, now I recieve tiny MMS pictures. Also on O2 (UK) with non branded phone.

Druboo please can you post what changes you have to make to correct this problem, I know it may take a while to sort but it will help all of here.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Druboo:
Can now receive full size MMS on Duttys ROM :cool:

First things first, I use CERegEditor as a pc based regedit for my TD2 - So not sure if it will work with other regeditors. However, if Druboo's using it, it must have been free ;)

With the stock 6.5 ROM still on the phone I made a backup of the Registry saved as Stock ROM.

Re-flashed Dutty's ROM and made a backup of it's Registry Saved as Dutty's ROM.

Then did a compare between Stock ROM and Dutty's ROM just for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA which resulted in 12 subkeys and 199 values extra in the Stock Rom. Saved the differences as Differences.

Imported Differences onto Dutty's ROM. Test MMS and hot to trot :)

Hope it works for you too

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Druboo:
New Place to Edit

Well my previous fix no longer works on Sense 2.5 ROMS :rolleyes:

It appears that the mms servers are now given the phone information from a different location. The good news for us poor belligered O2 UK users is that the Topaz is finally recognised in the Server database.

Point your reg editors to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\MMS\SP

Make UAProfile="http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/HTC_Touch_Diamond2_T5353-1.0.xml"

& UserAgent="HTC_Touch_Diamond2_T5353/arcsoft-mmsua-5.2.0.xx" and you should be back in business. :D

Hello People,

I would like to hear what software you are using to handle profiles.

I find the options offered by TF3D/Sense UI, very basic and unsatisfactory.

So far I have heard of:

G-Prifle,

Phone Alarm

Phoneweaver

Problem is that, with the exception of phoneweaver, these apps don't integrate well with graphic shells.

Advice is most welcome.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] MadAri:
Profiles!

I use Second Today, with it you can get second today screen and put all today-plugins there and still have TouchFlow on.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=401907

I use 2today with PhoneAlarm and it works just fine. I assigned 2today to send button. PhoneAlarms latest beta can operate Touch pros 2 bluetooth stack. There is 7 diffrent setting at bluetooth and mine device worked with setting BluetoothFix=5. Itried Phone Weaver, but it crashed sometimes with 2Today, and it cannot handle BT toggle.

I havent test G-Profile, but i read at they forum that its not fuction good with Touch Pro 2.

I used a long time Phone Suite 1.3 and that worked good with profiles, but it cannot handle BT toggle. And its version is rather old and it hasnt been updated for long time.

So im very happy with 2today with phonealarm, when im in car and put BT handsfree i can set a profile to that, and my volumes go up to 100%.

MadAri

Sorry for my english
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] gregoryx:
I had the same question. Ultimately, I am back with PhoneAlarm. Nothing beats it, functionally, and there's now a solution to specifically support TF without needing a second today screen. Installing the latest version allows an icon on the taskbar using the new "paHost" mode. Try it.

I'm using the "FlippedOutV_B_w" skin to get all kinds of neat switches available at the touch of a button. Added a row of apps to launch and a row of folks to call and it's pretty slick. I just wish I could change the icon to a clock with a date or something like that.

Greetings ppl

A while ago I was searching for a way to make finger scrolling in start/programs a bit faster. I found a small registry tweak somewhere (maybe here), but when I entered it nothing happened.

Well sort of. I now see that scrolling in programs folder is normal, however scrolling in other areas, like sms inbox and add/remove programs list is superfast, and in no way useable.

I know, I know, fail. :p

Problem is, I don't remember the setting which I changed so I can get scrolling speed back to normal (double fail)... any ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] akpe:
sorry to be a pain in the back cover, but any ideas? :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] akpe:
Well, turns out that setting both TF3D sensitivity and TF3D finger pressure to Intermediate or High (DiamonTweak 14.1/14.2) caused everything else to scroll at twice the speed!

Setting sensitivity to intermediate and finger pressure to default turned everything back to normal! Weird thing is, I tested those settings on my HD as well, and they didn't seem to have any effect on other apps!

Is asking about a rooted ROM not developement? Have YOU read the stickies because from what I have read, surprise surprise, in this section there is a sticky up above here about hacking and rooting. As far as I'm aware any developement focused questions would be posted in the developement section not general.

If I'm wrong them I'm quite happy to follow the MODS rules and their directions.

rooting the magic 1.6

Hi folks, dito as above. I've been up half the night trying to work this out. Have recently bought an htc magic from vodafone, and been 'updated' to doughnut 1.6. Not bad, but I'm really keen to get root on this, and eventually install the latest rom from cyanogen...

Seems there are now a few issues for people like me wanting to root their handsets... so far I've managed to erase my user settings, but keep getting errors trying to flash a rom. Followed the link above to nk02's thread, and no luck. Same issue, update aborts. There must be an easier way...

nk02 says his ROM works with 'wipe + flash'. How the heck do I do that? Seems this latest update to 1.6 has made all the other methods of gaining root obsolete... I'm far from a linux novice, and would love some advice here. And please don't tell me to keep searching, solid help would be appreciated. Cheers.

[Beetles] FezzFest:
I have my HP 6515 for about 3 years now, and it's still working fine.

But even if it's updated to the latest official ROM from the HP site, the Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition on it, is just getting to old.

I think it would be great, if there would be made a cooked ROM for this device, with Windows Mobile 5 or 6. There would be some many more possibilities with this device, just with a ROM upgrade.

For example: the latest versions of DivX Player Mobile don't support WiMo 2003 (SE). I have to use one of the earliest versions to play AVI's on this device. It can play them fine, without hitches or errors, but you have to use an idiot old version, and you have to set the date to 2006 to get it working.

It's not because I don't want to buy a new phone or something alike (I have an HTC Prophet with WiMo 6.1) but I'd like to learn how to make a cooked ROM, and there's nothing better to experiment with than this device ;)

What are the needs to create cooked ROM's, what software do you need, etc ?

I know there are people who can explain this to me on this forum, and I'm not afraid to learn (or brick my HP :p ).
