[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] palah:
the keyboard on the TP2 is great...have used onscreen keyboards for the last 5 years and now would not go back ...if you do a lot of text input (emails etc) then go a TP2 plus the business slant is great for organising work and play... the real question should be, want a real keyboard or not... the speed of text input will out play any gain by the faster processor of the HD2... now a HD2 with a TP2 type keyboard & under 170 gms... that would be a killer device
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
No hardware kwyboard

Not an option for me

TP2 is the best hardware keyboard device to this date
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lord_BlackAdder:
I have the TP2 from Telstra and really like the phone. It has the keyboard which is the main reason for me choosing it. Apart from this, the phone's screen is big and bright. And the performance is snappy. What I don't like is the Telstra theme. But I have changed to a Hero theme which I am very pleased with. So all in all, I am happy with my choice.:p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] YoungAceAtlanta:
HD2 is just a TP2 with out a keyboard (as bloggers who have it are saying)

Ok you get a more ram with the HD2 and a thin device (kinda)

But you pretty much just between Keyboard + touchscreen or no keyboard and full touchscreen

at the end of the day its up to you. pick what you want.. remember your on a forum with users who have both devices and going to stand behind they phone and defend it so all you going to hear is users with HD2 saying "GET THE HD2" and users with TP saying the same thing
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] leeneo:
actually , i use the hardware kwyboard rarely...

but it looks cool , so i choose TP2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lorin.bute:
HD2 its in a league of its own. Its super fast and responsive. If you want to have great performance and impress your friends go for the HD2. I want the TP2 for the keyboard.

PS: The HD1 has the requirements for an upgrade to Windows Mobile 7, so that might be a plus too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stim141:
Any way to tighten up the hinge mechanism and slider rails? Yes I've searched and the 4 screws on the hinge will not tighten up the resistance to tilt up/down only if the screen/body wobbles alot.

Today replaced my entire front housing/middle section and thankfully the phone works perfectly so far aside from looking like it was just unboxed. But -- I would have liked to tighten the hinges. Didn't fully disassemble the slider mechanism and totally remove the sim card holder. Read the full HTC SERVICE guide and looked at the photos couldn't see if there is a couple of screws beneath that apply pressure to the hinge plate. Tighting the rails looks like its impossible - ANY INSIGHT to either would be helpful.

:confused:

UPDATE: Found a fully detailled photo of a slider and it looks like a screw just above the hinge in the photo - is this the screw to apply more pressure? I'm a little hesitant in popping off the sim reader since it looks like its double faced to the slider. Will post the picture tomorrow.

Have done a Hermes multiple times - but the KAISER is a royal pain to strip down and put back together.

Ive been using a pack with motorola HT820 headset and DC800 for some years.

The question is :

Does anyone know if the DC800 adapter can connect to another A2DP headset than the ht820?
[General Topics] PoohBear88:
Does Microsoft have an official Windows Mobile 7 website or web page? I googled it, and found nothing but Windows 7 results or Windows Mobile 7 references. Anything direct out there or is it still considered a secret?
[General Topics] unlurk:
there is, still googling
[General Topics] Sc4Freak:
As far as I can tell, Microsoft hasn't even officially acknowledged the existence of WM7 yet. So, no, nothing public.
[General Questions and Answers] Zhuk86:
Hi Guys,

I am going to purchase the new HTC HD2 when it comes out and I am new to Windows Mobile Phones.

Using SIP/VoIP is very important to me and I was wondering what is the best sip client on Windows Mobile or does WinMo come with one built in??

cheers,

Zhuk
[General Questions and Answers] diamondX04HT:
try portsip its the best...my personal favourite.

Also, Fring too supports SIP.
[General Questions and Answers] Zhuk86:
Thanks for the info, portsip sounds great! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bonmotwang:
I just want the "ding dong", but let the diamond stay in stand by mode.

Only reason is when the phone is turned on, that the touch screen will do things with its own mind when it is in the pocket!

The latest one is 15 minutes long distance call to my home!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
Mmmm...

Yes, you're quite right... this has always been a pain in the ass with WM devices. The new lock-screen on 6.5 has fixed this issue, but unfortunately for 6.1 we have to rely on third-party software to fix Microsofts' oversights!

Try S2U2, which is free, or Pocket Shield, which costs a few dollars, but is well worth it.

I don't know of any tweaks which will actually leave your device in stand-by, but these third-party solutions work well :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bonmotwang:
Thank you. I just installed TouchLockPro last night. After all the settings, it works OK so far. I guess I will try TouchLockPro for a few days to see how it does.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vishalkishnani:
Download this software, you will find an option "not to wake up during sms"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bonmotwang:
Does this software lock the touch panel when there is an incoming call?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] muks11:
I assume you know that keeping hold of the drop call button locks the keypad!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vishalkishnani:
No

If u want to have this option go for S2U2
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
Ahhh...

Only if you have set the option to do that in 'Long Press End Key' settings!! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike21pr:
Coming from winmo, i was fed up of coverups upon coverups hiding a OS with new versions of standard features and still having the native ones hidden in the background just to make it enjoyable....

Now.... since Android is completely open source, Is HTC's SenseUI a coverup only having the standard Android UI under the hood, or did HTC REWRITE the standard Android apps and replaced them with theirs????

From this i mean, is HTC's version of the Album, Music, Contacts, Browser etc. an add-on having the vanila versions hidden somewhere like they do with winmo and can be reverted to, or are they ACTUALLY the classic apps redone by HTC???

I really hope HTC rewrote the OS cuz it really works well together (somewhat of a HTC OS all together)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MercuryStar:
Many of the native apps are rewritten. This includes mail, phone, contacts, calendar, music, browser, albums, messages, clock, calculator, voice recorder and more. They are all HTC versions, replacing the standard Android ones. In some cases the only modifications are look and feel, but in other cases they are very different (as is the case in Mail and Contacts/People).

They've also replaced some other integral parts of the OS such as home screen, on-screen keyboard, and added their own apps, like Weather and the Facebook/Flickr features in the contacts and albums.

Other apps are standard, such as the Google-proprietary ones (Market, Maps, Gmail, Google Talk) and the Settings app.

Camera and Camcorder look like just the standard Android ones - I don't think they're modified. They also include the Peep app (for twitter) - not sure if this is HTC-specific or not.

The standard ones are not present on the phone and can't be reverted to without actually getting them from somewhere else.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike21pr:
thank you so much!!! this is exactly what i needed to know. nice to know that the OS we see is the real OS (modified by HTC though) and not some lipstick on a pig.... gotta love open source
[Touch2 General] Denil Wong:
Since the Mega is running on WM6.5, I was wondering if anyone will be cooking the HD2 ROM soon for the Mega.
[Touch2 General] CorradoC:
I think that the hardware gap between the HD2 and the Meha is too high in order to have a well-running behaviour.
[Touch2 General] jlp_svk:
not saying about resolution... :)
[Touch2 General] rap7or4o:
that would be nice if it`s possible i realy want that HD2 ROM in my life
[Touch2 General] newdecember:
sorry but the mega lacks in 3d hardware acceleration so unfortunately you won't be able to use any of the Leo packages i'm afraid
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NICEGYPT:

How i can get a market in magic dont have a market ? I hope to find the answer here without junk answer :)
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:

[Android Themes] GALL3N:
Screenshots please then I will flash (:
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
I'm not sure how to take screenshots =( I'll look it up, because I know people will just be like "Search or GTFO!", lol
[Android Themes] david1171:
use ddms.bat in the sdk
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
ok, I found an easy way to take them with an app =) I'm uploading them now, I'll edit OP when done.
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
I'm working on a new dialer right now, because the stock one pisses me off... Does anyone know how to get into all the Blur images for the launcher, btw? I'm trying to find the images for the app dock and stuff, but everything I have is odexed and I can't seem to find it...

EDIT: Ok, I've run into a bit of a snare. I edited the dialer keys, but they are only showing up on the dialpad that is used in-call. They looks great, but I can't find where to put the images to have them replace the normal keys too. Thanks =)
[Android Themes] david1171:
you need to edit phone.apk and contacts.apk.
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
ok, I got the dialer working, I also got the app launcher skinned and the blur backgrounds added. If all goes well, then this will be close to 0.3!
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
v0.3 uploading now! Updated the screens in OP ;)

EDIT: it's live, go check it out!
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
Has anyone tried it yet? What do you guys think?
[Android Themes] rivera618:
very nice theme. i got tired of all the "black" themes and gave this one a try. seems like there are a couple of bugs though, Gmail (process com.google.android.gm) force closes every time i try to open it. when i first boot up, i get this message process com.google.android.partnersetup has stopped unexpectedly.

and a couple of minor suggestions, i really like the see through window shade and wondered if it's something that you can modify on this one. and the black font on the steel gray buttons can be hard to read.

i look forward to future updates, but for noe, i'm going back to the base theme.
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
Thanks for the feedback :) yeah, I had planned on changing the buttons a bit to make them more easily readable. I had problems with a few apps at first too, but I did a full wipe and reinstalled and it works now. Does anyone know how to change the text color on the buttons without changing all of the text on the device?
[Android Themes] rivera618:
Yeah, I should've wiped, but have wiped each of the last two days and honestly didn't feel like doing it again :P

Keep up the good work. I'll be checking back regularly. Would be awesome if you could get this on cm updater!
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
I have no idea how I would do that, haha. Hey when you talk about the see-thru window shade, do you mean the notification drop down? I might look into making that a bit transparent, it would be cool. For now, I'm trying to get all of the motoblur images into it first, then I can start tweaking my own stuff into it =) I already know I'm gonna need to revise the dialer, is there anything else you guys would like to see in this?
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
Ok, just finished up v0.4 I edited the dialer, fixed the warp home screen tab, and a few other things. Uploading now!

EDIT: Ok, scratch that. It needs some more work, some of the images are distorted. I'll post back when it's done =)
[Android Themes] Fabulous691:
man i love your theme...its perfect, the thing i don't want to change is Home screen. Keep this launcher, plz don't put this transparent launcher that we can see in others themes.

Thx a lot, waiting for a new and stable release

Keep un the good WOOORK
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
I put it as transparent, sorry. If you want I can make an alt version without it though =)

EDIT: I'm uploading FreekyBlur v0.5 alt right now, it's the same as v0.5 but without the transparent notification bar ^_^

EDIT: Check the OP, FreekyHero v0.5 alt =)
[Android Themes] rivera618:
I'm not sure why my phone doesn't like this theme. Had same issue as before, so I fixed permissions and nothing. So I decided to wipe and got a black screen after the splash screen. The animations are sweet, hopefully futures releases will play better with my g1
[Android Themes] Fabulous691:
Thx a lot !!!

Could you explain me how to adapt this theme to an other rom, i would be please to have it without being forced to have Cyanogen 4.2.1

Thx
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
I would try repartitioning, but I understand if you don't want to do that =) I'm uploading a slimmer version without all of the unused apk's, maybe this will play nicer? Try doing a complete wipe and flashing this new one afterward

What ROM are you using? You might want to try it out once I upload the slim versions to see if it works. I don't know if it would or not to be honest.
[Android Themes] ibookers:
After flashing, There is no blur wallpapers, what about? Thanks
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
I noticed this too. I don't understand why they wouldn't be there, I put all of their files into the right directory... Can anyone with a bit more knowledge of theming help me out here?
[Android Themes] phungshum:
Market

Not sure if anyone knows this problem or not, but after i install the theme, i search through the market for apps just fine, but the apps will never download. anyone else having this issue?
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
The market works fine for me. I'm using the one-flash 4.2.1 though, so maybe that's why? I'll look into it when I get home (I'm in math class, haha)
[Android Themes] ibookers:
Maybe,Try to put the blur wallpapers into Launcher.apk
[Android Themes] mhmyeahdavey:
I would totally use this, just a bit weary on how the app-drawer looks.

idk, I just don't like how uneven the triangle looks.

Other than that fantastic theme sir! :)
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
I could take a look into centering it a bit more =) It should just be a matter of resizing the image ^_^
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
Ok, I've fixed the launcher tab arrow, revamped the dialer, and changed the analog clock to the motoblur one. I'm still having a trouble with a few things though, I still can't figure out how to add in the motoblur backgrounds. I added them into the launcher.apk but they aren't showing up. Also I'm running into some problems with the dialer text thing warping. It's probably a problem with the .9.png file. Also, I cannot figure out how to change the text color on the system buttons. If anyone can PLEASE help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Themes] oMszKikiIzWavyo:
Love This Theme. Do You Think You Can Make A Black Notification Bar Instead Of A White One.

I Think Black Goes With Black G1's And White Goes With The Brown And White G1's

Thats My Opinion
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
I don't think I'll put a black notification bar in this one, but I AM working on something else you may like ;) I'll post it up here when I think it's good enough for the public.
[Android Themes] waymen:
wallpapers is in the lauch.apk

you can put all of blur's wallpapers into directory but the wallpapers's name

you can't change if not you can't find the wallpapers
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
I did put them all into the launcher.apk. I have the full sized and small versions of all the backgrounds in there. I don't understand why they wouldn't show up :(
[Android Themes] mhmyeahdavey:
Yay! After seeing your new screenshots of the improved launcher, I'm impressed.

I'm am going to flash this after I got off work this evening, can't wait.

(I'm sort of tired of all the black themes, bleh! :l )
[Android Themes] rivera618:
finally got this to work. it took a full wipe, flashing the rom again and then the theme, but i really like it. now my only beef is the black font on the steel gray buttons, which i mentioned before. the cliq has white fonts on these buttons, which would help a lot. keep up the good work!
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
Yeah, I'm trying to change that but I don't know how. I'm trying to get a hold of a developer and ask them, but i'll let you guys know when I figure it out =)
[Android Themes] Brandice128:
Are you gonna put Stericson's lockscreen in one of these themes?
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
I don't know... I'm not a huge fan of stericson's lockscreen... If enought people want it then I might do it though =)
[Android Themes] Brandice128:
Thats koo, it would look nicee if it was theme like the blur. Imagine lol
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
FreekyBlur v0.7 is out! I'll update the screens when I have time, but it doesn't look too different up front. I changed the buttons to be readable and a few other things (check the changelog). So tell me if you guys think this is finally usable! I think the only things I really have to do before I can call this 1.0 are change the text to white, find out how to get those backgrounds in, and revise the dialer some more (I'm still not 100% happy with it)
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
DANGIT! I put "lockscreen" in the poll instead of "notification background" Is there any way to change that, or am I stuck forever? =(
[Android Themes] severedembrace:
Love It. Love it.

What about Advanced Launcher (possibly standalone)?

Modified Phone .apk?
[Android Themes] singhsinghy:
My notification bar clock is in white font and I can't read it. I know I thought it was minor but now its gone ive realised how much I use it lol. Any help?
[Android Themes] Mikey:
Any way to get a complete transparent notification bar?? =)

Or direct us to where the file has to be placed??
[Android Themes] blackcuzz:
Can someone upload to a different mirror...cant download from megauplaod while tethered or straight from the device on a T-Mobile data plan
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
This theme should have a black clock, that is most likely left over from a previous theme you had. The only way I can think of to change that is if you reflash stock cyanogen then this theme. If that doesn't work then you may have to wipe =(

The file for the notification background is in the framework-res.apk. I can make it more transparent, if you think that would look better. I'll experiment with it a bit. Oh, and thank you for changing the poll, haha :D
[Android Themes] Mikey:
Also, in the dialer scoller letters, can you make the letters black. It's almost white on white.

Noticed that today
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
Dialer Scroller? Do you mean the contacts list? For me it shows up as white letters on a black background O_o

On another note, I've got v0.8 finished, I just have to upload it. I added a lot more transparency to the notification bar and tweaked the dialer button colors. I think it looks REALLY nice =)
[Android Themes] Mikey:
Any links too the new version? =)

Freeky Blur .7

This is what mine looks like:
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
I'll look into that, thanks. Also, v0.8 is up :D Go check it out ;) I'll probably post some new screens tomorrow. I'm tired and my screenshot app is FC'ing on me right now, lol.
[Android Themes] sbig79:
Animation Like Blur

@ freekyfrogy, does 0.8 has the animation like the Blur or has the animation like .7, that goes from left to right? I asked on your other site thread.

Thanks....

Update: nevermine, I installed it and seems to have the right to left animation like the regular cupcake. Any chance you can make a pole see if people preffer the blur animation like or the right to left one. I like the blur animation better, I am reading how to do this but I still suck......

Thank you again...
[Android Themes] Ziltoid:
Can this theme be applied to CM 4.0.4? :confused:
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
The left to right animation is from android 2.0, not cupcake. This still has the blur "bouncy" menus
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
I don't think it would, because 4.0.4 is cupcake and this is for donut. Why not switch over to 4.2.3.1? you can use one of the one-flash updates to 4.2.1 and then use the official update to 4.2.3.1, that's what I did =)
[Android Themes] Ziltoid:
Yeah I was just curious. I did upgrade last night to CM 4.2.3.1. Good job on the theme!
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
Thanks! Yeah, I'm running out of things to work on with this theme, haha. I have thought about possibly making a cool stericson lockscreen though. What do you guys think, anything you want to see in a future update?
[Android Themes] Ziltoid:
Yes. I would like to see the Stericson lockscreen on this. :)
[Android Themes] Ziltoid:
I just upgraded to CM 4.2.5. Would it be possible to have the animations that come with CM 4.2.5 since after installing the theme, it uses the animations scheme from the theme instead of the ROM.
