[G1 General] enderx1:
wow...

Would you please explain how this is related to development? This should be in another section like General.

It's people like you that post stuff like this that make devs leave...
[G1 General] swivel:
Grow up. Thanks.
[G1 General] xidominicanoix:
^^ Yeah what enderx1 said (just the first half)

But damn this just put a smile on my face :D thanks
[G1 General] otto888:
Amen brother. Unless you have an apk of this,and it might help development with android 2(Link to developing Google apps because of sync api commands in maps app? I don't know.) What I'm trying to say is...don't make a new thread if it has NOTHING TO TO WITH DEVELOPMENT. Thanks. :)
[G1 General] mghtyred:
Seriously. DEV or GTFO.
[G1 General] Nasrat:
I kind of disagree; I think this is important for the development section:

It could inspire developers to work a way into porting android 2.0 to G1. It may inspire some genius into converting the g1 into a multi OS system that can switch between a GPS NAV and a Phone, in a simple way “switch Rom”. I left it open without a comment because I rather for everyone to use his imagination and transform this into development!!!
[G1 General] otto888:
We already got a "demo rom" of sorts....it is based off of Android 2,but no Google apps,wifi, or Bluetooth,for obvious reasons.
[G1 General] Nasrat:
I’m aware of that and the problems associated with porting 2.0, but I also believe in the XDA development Team. I would like to remind everyone where we have been and where are we now in terms of android, just imagine flashing back to stock RC 28 :eek:.
[G1 General] dead2hill:
Just a note to OP, any dev that would even conjure doing this would more than likely look @ android.com or other android related sites with news and other articles just like you linked for us, granted you were trying to share what you have learned, it is completely irrelevant to this forum. Gladly take this thread to a "general"disscussion. Besides its still early look @ 2.0 and will be a bit before we see progress, and was hoping this thread meant somone was porting already, yet, to my dismay another off topic discussion that let my hopes fall to the bottomless pit of irony.

Ty!
[G1 General] Nasrat:
I see your point, thanks.

Hi all,

How can I find out which storage is the txt/email messaging is using? I would like for it to use the external storage card not the on board memory. Previously owned a nokia n82 and there was an option to switch whichever storage to use.

And also is there a way I can backup my txt and emails?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
E-mail and text messages are stored on the phone's main memory, though e-mail attachments can be set to be saved on the storage card. If there's a way to change the primary storage for e-mail and texts to the storage card I don't know it...maybe somebody else does.

One way to back up text and e-mails is using Microsoft myPhone -- it backs them up to a web-based server, and then they can be restored to the phone later. There should/may already be the myPhone app on your phone...or you can download it.

There are 3rd-party apps (search on "sms" and "backup"), but I can't recommend any 'cause I don't use them.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] coykiam:
so this phone doesn't allow to back it up using the external storage?! things like this makes me miss my symbian phone...
[HTC Excalibur] Timid1:
Hello,

I am new to the forums, and was wondering if I could ask someone to make a theme based on University of Alabama Football. Please let me know if I need to make this post elsewhere, or if in here is okay.

Thanks,

Dan
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
You have to be more specific. Do you just want a background? or a full theme (redoing many icons, etc). It is very helpful for everyone if you use photoshop or something and post up what you WANT it to look like. That way, people like myself can do something.

While i would love to help you out, I am horribly busy, but urge you to read my Tutorial on CPR File editing as it will tell you a lot on how to change your homescreen.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] thormdac:
@all,

since i am the sporting kind, i need a "usable" device- not one i need to pamper:mad:!

coming from the good old p3300 / artemis i am close to selling my topaz since the plane display constantly touches any surface that i carry it in, the back with its all shiny plastic is a pure (pun intended) pain!

all in all this device has far too much plastic, especially this terrible screen surface!, to even survive the next year, whereas my P3300 has lasted me a good 4 years with quite some battering.

calling the topaz a diamond surely is a joke: not even the slightest amount of solidity allowing any kind of resemblance with a diamond!!!:cool:

so, any remedies for that? (to keep me from selling it again!)

greetz
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] cmstackar:
I have no idea. Maybe a nice case + screen protector? I know what you mean, though. My blueangel has lasted me 5 years and is still going strong, while the TD2 probobly will not last half that long.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] thormdac:
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-pure-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

this would sure be a solution...but i remember seeing an iphone having worn one of these for 2 months:

all contact points of iphone and shield were matted /scratches due to the housing constantly rubbing at those points:(

any experience on that point?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] cmstackar:
I've used a zagg screen protector only, which was very nice, but not the full body protectors.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] thormdac:
i am selling it!

anybody interested in buying a well cared for topaz with full eplus guaranty from germany... ( contract free)

i am fed up with this gadget and returning to my p3300/spv m650

greetz
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] Steeve24:
I know what you mean, my old P3300 with its recessed screen and mostly matt plastic body was fairly sturdy, although I did wear the silver part off on the back!

BUT, and its a big but, the P3300 is several years old, very slow, low capacity internal memory, poor screen (plus smaller) etc...

I wouldn't go back to it unless I had to, I've got the supplied screen protector on my TD2 and apart from the back (which I think we all can agree is terrible) it shows no signs of wear.

There are plenty if cases out there, try one or two out for size.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] adesonic:
I have had my Topaz since April, I tend to keep it in a case and always use a screen protector, it has been dropped onto concrete (with and without case), got wet (in rain not full immersion) left in a hot car for 6 hours and sat on! Apart from 1 small ding in the top right corner you cannot tell it from new. I do get annoyed about the finger prints on the back though :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] twinnings:
I'm personally using a PDair silicone cas end a screen protector, these don't add too much bulk while giving a degree of protection. They will not protect from water or a lot of dust, but work fine for me. From what you say perhaps an aluminium case/sleeve similar to what I've seen for iPods would work?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] zimmicz:
Ehm... so why did you buy topaz since you are a sporting kind? It is quite obvious it is not designed for rock-climbing :-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] Drag-On:
AWESOME! look at my details...viva South Africa!

anyways, i'm loving my Topaz...and i'm interested in what price you would be keen on selling for... send me a pm (i'm based in Frankfurt am Main btw)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] DeathJester:
The google-fu is weak in this one

You are clearly looking for this website which specialises in ruggedised PDA and computer equipment.

Understand that in order to be able to withstand harsh environments, any electronic device will be lower specified (as high spec components produce more heat), be heavier and bulkier (to accommodate impact and water resistance), and more than likely less "every day" functional than a consumer-oriented product. You may, however, find that they include features not associated with consumer devices.

EDIT: I've just re-read your comment, and want to point out a common misconception regarding the properties of diamond. It is indeed a very hard substance substance, but that does not make it particularly strong. A diamond coating on the screen will definitely help stop scratches on the surface, but won't protect it from impact in the same way a rubberised coating would.

Hard substances resist abrasion; Strong substances resist deformation. A diamond cannot be scratched by any other known substance other than another diamond, but if you hit one with a hammer it will shatter.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] Bruce Inman:
On e-bay they sell a hard plastic rubberized case.

These add almost no bulk and it recesses your screen a bit.

Unfortunately, when I bought mine, it was only offered from Japan, so I still have not received it yet, but I have used them on other devices and they work great. In addition to the Zagg protector ofcourse.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] iamfroda:
Not sure if anyone really cares, but Ghost Armor has an Imagio protector available now. It isn't listed on their website, so if you want Ghost Armor now just email customer service. I just canceled my Zagg order.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] mhrc4:
Zagg has theirs too

http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-imagio-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
[Imagio Themes and Apps] PthPndr:
Yeah, I ordered my Zagg on Monday. Should be here any day now.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] smit0691:
Zagg vs Chost Armor

Aren't Zagg and Ghost Armor pretty much the same? I have Ghost Armor on my TP2 (very satisfied) and since I could only find a Zagg protector for my wife's new Imagio, I was going to order that. Both claim the same things (scratch-resistant, better grip, same material they put on helicopter rotors, blah, blah), so I have to believe they are made from basically the same material.

Anyway, I'll continue with the order for the Zagg for the wife's phone and post any differences I find.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] Razorfold:
I'm going to give the boxwave one a try. Let's see how it holds up
[Imagio Themes and Apps] iamfroda:
I had the Zagg protector for my girlfriends phone and Ghost Armor for my TP2, they are very very similar. What I liked more about the Ghost Armor was that it had a glassy-er smooth looking surface to it and wasn't as gummy as the Zagg.

Also, Ghost Armor is doing a limited time whole body for the price of just the screen cover deal.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] Americanmetal:
I bought one and a silicone case a week ago

Haven't gotten it yet :mad:
[Imagio Themes and Apps] dbigdawg:
Body Gaurdz or Ghost-Armor

I gave used zagg and they are too gummy and have a weird orange peel. these two are more glossy and fit great. I got two Imagio full body Gaurdz for the price of one and couldn't be happier. ghost Armor on my touch, touch pro and instinct all worked great but wasn't available when I got my Imagio.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] ascssmith:
I just ordered Ghost armor, I'll let you all know how long it takes and if it is any good for the Imagio.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] Razorfold:
just got my boxwave crystal clear, and all I can say is wow.

This beats any of the crappy screen protectors ghost armor and zagg make.

It's easy to put on, smooth to the touch, and feels sturdy.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] ascssmith:
Now you tell me...........
[Imagio Themes and Apps] Razorfold:
Just got it today soo =(
[Imagio Themes and Apps] Americanmetal:
Still haven't gotten it :(
[Imagio Themes and Apps] fwaits:
+1 for Boxwave, have used them before on my Vogue (XV6900) and now on the Imagio. Great screen protector that's durable, glides well, and has extremely good clarity.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] Dougkb45:
Do most of these screen protectors require a wet soapy installation?
[Imagio Themes and Apps] fwaits:
I used soap to clean mine then rinsed it and shook off the majority of the water then applied carefully while using the little applicator (can use a credit card and such) to apply it and squeeze out the little bubbles/water. If you are really careful and in a good environment where there is little dust/particles in the air you can install it out of the wrapper, but I ended up getting some particles in mine so I washed it and re-applied.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] Duffas:
Current Ghost Armor Special

Also just for your info guys Ghost Armor is running a special currently on there Imagio protectors. If you order the front screen protector you also receive the full body protector with your shipment. I verified this with them as of yesterday the 19th and order it. Will post if i don't receive. The total price was $19.94 which includes shipping.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] untitled_one:
I can vouch for Boxwave. I'm using the anti-glare version and I like it a lot.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] blcklab:
What is so different? I have a Body Guardz style full body protection which seems crystal clear. But I'm always open to other options. I really want to take good care of this phone, and I know the "military" style protectors do offer great scratch protection. I am in outside sales so I am always getting in and out of cares. Setting phones down on desks, counters, work spaces, car seats etc.

i have a rubber sleeve which makes the phone slightly bulkier, and als ordered a rubberized plastic case just to compare.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] Americanmetal:
Bought a Zagg last night

Ebay one ended up being junk
[Imagio Themes and Apps] Razorfold:
I dunno about bodyguardz, but the ones like Zagg and ghost armor have a rubbery feel to it. And this interferes with scrolling.

The boxwave one is a thermoplastic of sorts, so it feels just like the imagio screen.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] cgadrian:
My issue with the Zaggs were the thickness and sometimes I really and to press to make the screen acknowledge the action. I ended up getting the Verizon ones for the BB Storm and they almost fit perfectly ... about an 1/8" left on the bottom of the screen!
[Imagio Themes and Apps] cinnr:
+1 on the positive boxwave comments - also have the anti-glare option and love it. To my surprise the touch response seemed to improve after I put it on.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] knotbeerdan:
I am not sure how widespread they are but i went to phantom skins here in phoenix and i have had this on for about 3 weeks. So far i have not a single complaint. The screen is smooth and the protector is totally clear. I have had my phone in my pocket with my keys and even dropped it once and there is not a single mark on the film/device you can check em out here http://phantomskinz.com/
[Imagio Themes and Apps] waycoolkennel:
+1 on http://phantomskinz.com/ AWESOME product ! This thing is fantastic.. cant even tell its there.. feels just like the actual screen.. I tried the one in one of the first few posts off ebay.. it was terrible .. while it went on nice .. it had quite a bit of orange peel and was TOO rubbery.. tacky etc..

Glad I found this post on phantomskinz .. GREAT product ! Finger just glides across the screen.. !
[Imagio Themes and Apps] breadbutcher:
So when I first got my imagio I ordered the zagg full body protector. About 3 days ago I noticed an oily looking film underneath the screen protector, so I said the hell with it and took the protector off. The oily residue is still there and I don't know how to get rid of it. Any ideas? What can I use to get this crap off? God forbid, do you think it might be inside the screen?
[Imagio Themes and Apps] waycoolkennel:
I think some other folks had their imagio replaced by the vendor due to "moisture" under the screen.. IIRC.. the consensus was it was caused by applying a screep protector that required water to apply..

I dunno .. phantomskinz needed water application.. and mine is fine. though I was VERY careful not to overdo the soapy water..

Might look over at PPCGeeks.. I cant remember where I saw the post about it...

good luck !

I'm using the updated sprint stock rom and it was having issues with sms messaging and not marking text messages as being read in the thread view. Someone told me to install the attached .cab to fix the issue. I installed it and text message issue is fixed, but even worse, now I can't open any of my emails (gmail). I tried deleting the account and setting it back up to no avail.

Does anyone know how to undo what the attached cab changed? Or any other way to fix this?

whats is a color code for pure black bars in winmo 6.1? Im using very dark grey color shame but i know there is posibility to have pure black (glossy) ones.. (for example Glossy Black Bars from this forum, but when i sync via Activ sync, or do something that reloads UI (HTC Home) it goes back to standard light grey shame.) When im use, dowloaded also from this forum, black (very dark grey) sheme its ok, but still i want to have pure black ones :). So anyone knows what to put into xml to have pure, glossy black bars? :).

(im using HTC s740)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] kingmabuto:
It is not a color scheme, it is controlled by the BaseHue, its a registry entry, however it will never stick if u change the homescreen or anything with the display settings, the registry key is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color

u need to change the REG_DWORD called BaseHue to 161 (it will probably change to 123, which is grey, whenver u change anything that have to do with display).

To make it simple for u, i made a cab with this registry entry, u can keep that file in a folder in ur phone and whenver u do something with display like changing the homescreen u can just run it and ull get the black glossy bar. The change is instantaneous.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] CrozB:
There is an old PPC feature that seems to be missing from this phone (TP2 Sprint) and that is the option to wake the phone (turn on from stand by) by "Pressing Any Key".

This used to be a feature under settings, but not there on this phone. I think it would go perfect with S2U2. Can anyone tell me if there is a reg entry I can do, cab I can download or _____? to make this happen on the TP2?

Thanks

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ScubaSteve20001:
I second this request. In addition I would like to be able to suspend the device (put the device to sleep) when I hit the end call key ONLY when I am on the home screen. My Treo 750 did this and i liked that b/c I do not like always going to the top of the device to hit the power button. Thanks in advance for anybody that can help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Andehh:

If you want to wake up TP2 by any hardware keys, please try: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD "KeyLock" = 0 (default is 1) then Reset..

Perfect! Thanks. That did it.

And it works perfect with S2U2 so no accidents.

OK I am going to 2nd the the "end to suspend request" too. Personally I would prefer the press and hold of the red end key to have an option to power down (suspend). Anyone got an answer for that? That would really get us ex-treo users in the goove :D

Hi guys,

My tp2 used to wake up on any hardware key , but after the upgrade to WM6.5 available on HTC we site , it stopped and now it just wakes up using the power button.

I have tried with no success:

- Keylock changes in the registry

- AE Button Plus

- Keylock.exe

- CS Dev control

I know that this is not big deal for some, but for me is kinda annoying as i was used to wake it up using the hardware keys.

Anyway, thanks for your time and i would appreciate very much if anyone has any suggestion on this matter

Hi All

Good news. For those who upgraded their TP2 to WM 6.5 and now are having problems to wake up the device with any other key apart from the power button, even using the tips from the previous messages in this post, here is how i solved this problem today.

I used the application "Rhoduim Keyboard Controller" from the post :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=554240

attention for the red line :

This is for Rhodium only! Do not try to install this on other devices!

Also a good list of applications for TP2 can be found at this post, and it was there were i found the "Rhoduim Keyboard Controller"

I hope this will be helpful for someone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cd993:
does anyone know if it would be possible to wake the device from a quick double tap?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Homer1181:
I am a noob, and was wondering where do I go to change this registry. plus can i change it without have a registry editor of any sort?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mikeclem:
Interestingly, installing Rhoduim Keyboard Controller allows keylock.exe (attached) to work. Rhoduim Keyboard Controller looks like an excellent app but a little complicated for what I want to achieve. I just want my "do not lock buttons" option back, and that's what I've got.

I'm running a UK TP2 with WM6.5.

If anyone is intersted, I use my TP2 with Memory Map (a topographical mapping app) in an otterbox. The problem is, without being able to turn on the TP2 from the front buttons you have to open the box to get to the power button - defeating the object of having it in a protective box!

Hope this is of some use to someone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] baudac:
I've searched for this also. The reg edit in the pervious post works like a charm, but I would like to take it a step further but waking up my phone with a screen tap or dbl tap.
