[Shift General] thaihugo:
Honestly, I would try to answer something not too bitter. Let's put it mildly: The shift project is (has?) probably not working (ed?) anymore (way?) for the shift. They sure got the money, but never delivered. On the other side, any legitimate group trying to help was dead on arrival because of this. Every cluster of developer failed because the shift project was magicaly reapiring to promess a new development.

I would consider this "projects" as a request for a hardspl adaptation for a device. Anything else would have need some other efforts. I think we can be happy with the current possibilities, and move along with it.
[Shift General] vinokirk:
Ahhh I see, well lets wait to see what Itxda and comnex have to say, maybe we can get this ol' baby fired up again!

It would just be nice to know where they got with thee SD card and fullscreen WM issue.
[Shift General] jimmunsw:
Dont give up , keep on trying to solve the sd card , bluetooth and the rest that is not done yet . U can do it . Just try n try again , u know u can do it , concentrate ...
[Shift General] cmonex:
1. money was spent on getting device, so it's not like we used it for our living or whatever :)

2. I don't understand some words, maybe typos? "reapiring", "promess"? please can you rephrase? thanks a lot.

2b. as for not delivering, I would disagree. we got a lot done, even if some of it was leaked by certain members before our group's release :) also, I can't vouch for what others said, but I never promised that BT or wifi even has a good chance for working.

3. anything else than the hardspl/radio/phone stuff is more work for sure. for example the WVGA mode enabling in ARM part works only half so far.
[Shift General] cmonex:
I got your PM so I'm replying here now :)

1)

a) I have mine. love it! as for the others, see below

b) well, not once a week currently... :S

c) PK is pawel062. but he left windows mobile scene for iphone :cries: (he never got a shift, tho)

2) you got the "official" members right other than that

3) you got that right too

4) see project thread, but a quick sumup, HardSPL, radio unlocking, phone funct. unlocking, GPS, cooked ROMs, and the low level/hw hacks (WVGA, SD... the others only if possible). I guess other than hw hacks that's been done for the most part

5) yes, those two

6) WVGA half works, I can enable it, picture no good yet. I found SD was disabled in the bootloader where I saw evidence for use of it, no further news right now

7) Shifts: I have one from the project, Olipro too, ltxda got one, which he wanted to send to PK to cook for it but he left the project. I do not know what happened to that shift, as ltxda got distracted by the death of a family member. I'll ask him what's up with that. there is no other money left in the Shift account.

7b) as for sending it to you (ltxda's device), I'd like to know what sort of experience you got, what sort of goals you'd like to try and achieve :)

by experience I mean: coding experience (and what languages), low level driver experience, reverse engineering experience, etc... but then, I'd like to first know what goals you have in mind as well :)

8) I have a few radios, ROMs, if you mean stock ones, then not terribly many.
[Shift General] saiweb:
cmonex

what about BT and WiFi? I was able to check the virtual COM ports for them and tried to enable them and noticed something was blocking it. Were they too disabled at the bootloader?

Thanks

[Shift General] lucid:
Vinokirk sweet thnx for stirring up this part of the community.

Our Shift is a 1 off. Keep it, caress it, nurish it.

After the Chinese debacle (Someone having a too large ego and hoaxing about SD) nothing much happened above the surface.

My idea would be that everyone start sharing his findings for making SD , headset mike, and BT work (in respective order)

Like CMonex staed that the WM bootloader disables SD it seems. This seems new info and might spur others to action.

Shift project has delivered beyond expectation in the early days.
[Shift General] vinokirk:
cmonex! Many many thanks for your reply; your information is very valuable to me!

Yes I was devastated reading about Itxdas story, it was truly a tragedy and my heart goes out to him.

Personally my goals (in order) are:

1) SD card

2)'Personal calling' over BT or wired headset.

3) WVGA screen in WinMo

4) Cooking everything into a ROM

But I am very much a community person. If anyone has an idea they would like to see developed, I would try my darndest to make their wish come true! :)

I have some basic grounding in C++, Pascal (he he he), and Java. I have a friend and brother-in-law who are AMAZING programmers in many languages, so they will be my 'goto guys'.

I have in the past re-written a couple of drivers in windows, but that was a while ago and they weren't low level drivers.

I haven't officially reverse engineered something before, but I have taken loads of things apart to fix, so in a way I have been taking say a phone apart to find out what the problem is.

I have A-levels in Maths and Electronics (they are the UKs 16-18 yr old exams), but nothing at degree level.

I do however have experience with cooking. I have made a couple of my own ROMs for my Xperia X1.

But the main thing is, I have a passion for things like this, as you can see im asking a lot of questions, and posting in a few threads!! So with your guidance I'm sure I could deliver at least something! This would be a great first step into your world and I am really looking forward to getting the opportunity to do so :D
[Shift General] thaihugo:
As far as I know, olipro and you weren't part of the shift project first, and they called you to the rescue. So again, I thing the shift project AFAIK, never released a think. They "rebranded" you as shift project because they didn't have a think to provide.

Also, I don't see the leaks you're talking about. Was the group about to release something? Do you mean your radio? Has it anything modified from a 1.27 radio? because otherwse, I think we are all doing the same job here, taking existing roms, modifyng files and releasing them. The trick is to find the right files, and I don't see where any work here is stealing or below somebody elses work. I don't think anybody took a rom from the shift project, modified it and claimed it as it's own.
[Shift General] cmonex:
1) uh yeah I'm afraid it is going to be a one-off from HTC :'( and where is Thoth?? (Athena2) gee HTC really needs to get back on track for making the best usable devices :D

2) wish those chinese guys had shown more. this way it does seem a hoax.
[Shift General] cmonex:
I replied to your PM again :) the public part of that is, I've talked to ltxda about sending the Shift to you. he'll get back to me on that soon.
[Shift General] cmonex:
it needs more than virtual COM ports.
[Shift General] cmonex:
nono, of course I didn't mean anything like claiming a rom :)
[Shift General] apoparis:
Any progress / news ?
[Shift General] vinokirk:
Not yet, I'm waiting to hear from ltxda. As soon as I get his Shift project Shift ill be able to start cooking a new ROM. And with the hep of cmonex and others, hopefully crack someof the other issues.
[Shift General] sebastiaanmeloen:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Virusboard:
Hi everybody,

sorry for my bad english.

I have a HTC Touch 3g (Jade) with original ROM (new update), but installed the M2DC-Programm and I´m using a personalized skin.

In M2DC you can enable or disable parts of the Home XML, for example the lines between clock, missed calls and the calendar.

When I disable all of them, there is still a small line under the second calender entry. When only one entry is shown, there´s no line.

The line itself is not centralized, it´s so called "left-aligned".

Maybe there´s anyone who knows how I can get rid of this line, which ist only shown, when there´re two calender entries on the Home XML.

I´m not very confidend in hacking files, but when there´s a possibility to change the HomeXML-File I would try to do it.

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Virusboard

Ok, so I flashed the phone yesterday and input my local information. It shows up, but theres also another one that shows up, a separately named place IN the city, ie, suburb that is not listed in the My Locations spot in the weather menu. How can I delete something that is not there on the list.

This has probably been asked and answered, but to be honest, Im a noob at this stuff and cant find how to delete the "ghost" location or how to turn it off. It happens to be the one that locates itself right under the time on the home screen

Again, sorry if this has been asked, Im just trying to get things in order on the phone

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] iridium21:
I thought this was just me. I have two of the same location (my town) in my weather - but they show totally different weather and I can't delete the one that's wrong! WTF?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Black Phoenix:
Your localization, as it says, when you click in update it updates your current localization weather (if you are in new york in the morning, time and weather from new york, if at the night you are in chicago, time and weather from chicago...). It uses the AGPS functionality for calculating your current localization, so the weather changes in conformation with your localization.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 'Sider:
I see, but, its not updating that default location. For example, I live in Louisville, Kentucky, but theres a suburb called Shively. The phone first picked up the weather the day before yesterday and listed it as Shively under my date. I have a separate location set as Louisville, Kentucky, which is updated on a regular basis, but that "Shively" hasnt changed nor updated itself since its initial recogition of the weather. It still says its raining and hasnt rained in two days lol

Any way of just deleting that one? I went to Accuweather on the phone and its not listed there as a location either

hello guys

i have the HTC Touch Diamond (p3700) from rogers, and i was wondering since the phone is locked to the rogers network, is it possible for me to install a custom rom on the phone?? or do i have to do the sim unlock to do that??

sorry, this might be a noob question but i need the question answered as i had the O2 Xda Mini S before my HTC which was unlocked and this is the first time i actually purchased a phone from rogers since i get all my phones from out canada

thanks for your help guys, really appreciate it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] farhan_ds:
i have a rogers HTC diamond as well.. and its got the winmob 6.1 5.2.19965 build 1.2.3 Year 2008.. the HTC website doesnt let me download the feb 2009 firmware as the device is not suitable..:@

a few simple Noob questions please..:o

1 - its working in my country with other network sims, all of them but the phone strartup says rogers... is my cell unlocked or not?

2 - will Hard Spl remove everytrace of rogers from my phone? (i actually wana debrand it from rogers to plain standard retail version)..

3 - Will any firmare upgrade using hardspl method work on my cell?.. and what will happen to the orignal FW? will it be erased permanently, or will it still be stored in a secret storage, so that it can be retrieved later when i plan to sell it later and rest to factory defaults?

Again, as a newcomer and a noob at the Xda dev scene, i would apreciate any kind of help . :)

thanks in anticipation..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ElCondor:
Hi,

As far as I know, you should be able to install any ROM you want.

But make sure you have flashed Hard-SPL Olinex Unsigned,

just try the link in my sig and follow steps 6 - 11.

You still need an unlocker to make it possible using other networks though.

1. Yes your phone is unlocked, but you are using a rogers customized ROM. Try a different ROM to remove it.

2. No, Hard-SPL will not remove it. You'll need to flash another ROM to do that.

3. Firstly, if you are flashing/upgrading a new firmware (we call it ROM) then all data will permanently removed.

There are some packs to revert your ROM back to stock, but I don't know if there are any Rogers ROM's available on the net.

I hope I have answered all your questions.

Good luck both!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] devillblood:
hey thanks a lot for the reply, finally someone replies, and this method will not brick my phone right?? since that is what scares me the most the fact that i mite end up bricking my phone :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] farhan_ds:
Thanks a lot Elcondor.. it solved half of my problems.. :)

the only thing is,, i tried the 6.5 Prototype rom and rogers sill show up on the startup screen.. i flashed the splash screen, and still the lower 100pixels appear pink, out of no where..

and i simply wana DEBRAND the whole **** of rogers from it, so that i can upgrade the 2.0.0.00 rom version to the HTC official 2.0.43 version, but evertime i download from there, and try updating it, it says, Model ID not compatible..

is there a way to remove the entire rogers crap from it, and get it cleaned like a retail version?...

Thanks a lot sir..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ElCondor:
No, it shouldn't brick your phone. In fact, Hard-SPL makes your device hardly brickable. Just try it, you will not be dissapointed. But, it's not my responsabillity if you brick you diamond, keep that in mind.

The splash screen is a harder part to do. You need Patchsplash to patch your splash screen. In that way, the splash screen should appear right. Note that the procedure to do that is pretty hard. Here are some more instructions if you didn't get it.

And about a Diamond stock ROM, take a look here. A 2.03.4 ROM including a new radio and the splash screen.

Good luck guys!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] devillblood:
thanks a lot man, well i guess if its doesn't brick the phone then my diamond shouldn't brick unless i do something stupid in the middle of the process, and one more question, since there A LOT of roms on this site, anyway suggestion on which one would b above all, in regards to features and most of all, which rom would make my diamonds performance faster then the stock rom

thanks man :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ElCondor:
No prob my friend, xda-devs is to help each other.

To recommend a ROM is pretty hard, since there are very different kind of ROMs available.

Do you want a ROM with full Diamond2 experience, without WM 6.5(.x) try Gen. Y D2 R4.

Or, do you prefer a light WM6.5(.x) ROM, try BSB 6.5.1. It is pretty fast and light.

In a short time, I am going to release a 6.5.1 ROM (called Condor GT), with very nice graphics and still very fast.

Just give some a shot and you'll soon find out which ROM is the best.

BTW All the ROMS given in this thread are better that stock ROMs, just to be clear;)

Regards,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] devillblood:
haha yes i know they are all better then the stock roms, but i was wondering if u could guide me, since there are a lot of roms, i am looking for one that has a nice interface, is fast, and wm 6.5 if possible would be awesome :)

thanks a lot for ur help

Hello Xda fellows

Does anyone else have a strange feeling that our beloved blackstone is slowly but for sure falling into oblivion?

sigh :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ASK768:
yes, of course it is. it is three genrations old now (touch pro 2 and diamond 2 are next generation and htc leo is the newest).

However, this doesnt mean its going to be forgotten. the android project is really gaining ground. the "improving gfx performance" guys have just released a killer graphics pack and all of the apps made in future for the td2 and tpro 2 (maybe even leo) will work fine.

so, to answer your question, it is getting a bit old (a year old now) but that doesnt mean its going to disappear. look at the polaris and kaiser
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Sopis:
good to hear opinion like that :) thanks man
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] skulk3r:
the good thing about our phones is that it is still "current" in that the _relatively_ "newly released" TD2 and TP2 have very similar specs to our phone...it's just not at the very top anymore

More ram than most, better screen than most, wvga is becoming more and more recognised, you dont get a 3.5mm headphone socket on most other devices, 5mp camera, most others are 3 or below, and really as long as xda developers lives on all devices do too

A month ago I sold my HTC Diamond for a Touch HD...

I had the option to go for a Touch Pro, Diamond 2 etc...

but after trying a few the screen on the Touch HD is far superior to any others tried even the Iphone doesn't look as perfect as the HD.

It runs as fast as both the Touch Pro and Diamond 2.

The only difference in my opinion is the TV out on the Touch Pro.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Fallen Spartan:
Its inevitable that as time goes on the HD will eventually become obsolute or redundant as you'll move to pastures green. However with the HD, I feel this is still a bit in the future. There is nothing out there to really make me consider getting my wallet out and purchasing it. As time goes on this will obviously change, but not just yet!! ;)

I love this phone! It may be buggy, badly designed vanilla rom and feel like plastic in your hands after a while, but you can do anything with it! It's powerful, got a _sweet_ display and it's the best phone I've tried surfing the web with.. With Opera Mobile 10 that is.

There's no phone out there worth upgrading to yet, this phone has still got atleast 6-12 months left in my hands..
