[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rruffman:
go here http://www.orb.com/en/download_orb and dl the program to your computer and install it

NOTE you must have a tv card installed onto that computer for it to work setup the card with orb. then follow instructions listed in previous post to get the xml file configured.

IT would be great if someone could get this working with playtv on a ps3, as it can stream to a psp

Orb working tutorail from rruffman

This is a private message to me from rruffman. (Hope you don't mind rruffman)

What i did was dl a auto refresh broswer opera has it built in.. this is needed as orb will not stream unless the broswer you copied the url from stays logged in so i just login and set auto refresh to 1 min.

next install orb and it will ask to setup channels.

next login into orb and go to settings and select mobile view.

next you can also set the stream speed for cell phone i set it to 500kbps

next set the prefered stream format i used wmp windows as the 3gp has not worked for me yet still working on this one.

now go to tv guide and click on any channel and play it it will open wmp once playing right click on wmp and select show stream info it will show on the right of wmp "stream 1" next right click on the stream 1 and click stream properties this will show the stream url. this is what you will copy to your xml for that channel. now for all other channels you want simply use same url but just change channel number in url. save file and copy to your phone. close wpm but leave broswer logged into orb with auto refresh on. for your wifes iphone i do not think you will have to do this as there is a app for it just need to add another user.

That should answer the question.

Odd, my two friends with G1's envy my(our) black pull down. :rolleyes:

oh they probably have custom roms then see if you can get a stock g1 dialer app for me please? I'm trying to see if i can get it work on the hero
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Negrito:
I think you misunderstood. They have non rooted G1's, but envy my black pull down. both think it looks much cleaner.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thorracing1:
what does envy mean?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] erasmogjr:
lol

What he is saying is the grass isn't always greener. When I had my G1 everyone, including me, were flashing Hero roms like mad and vanilla android was the devil now that we have sense that is meant for our phones we all want vanilla. I think a white theme for sense UI would suffice for me.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Negrito:
envy:

1. feel envious towards; admire enviously

2. a feeling of grudging admiration and desire to have something that is possessed by another

3. be envious of; set one's heart on

4. spite and resentment at seeing the success of another (personified as one of the deadly sins)

I was referring to the bolded definition.

ok, born from the verbose bootscreen idea there was the fake verbose bootscreen idea, credit goes here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4912469

this is what i came up with in a quick session, i think there is much room for improvement. if anybody likes to contribute, i would be glad for creative support ;)

apply the zip as update.zip, make a nandroid backup before just in case. to make it easier to revert i attached a zipfile with the original files in them to revert to original, one with the sounds activated, one silent.

please tell me what you think :rolleyes:

Thank you for this Bootscreens.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
glad you liked it. stay tuned for next version, already working on a progress bar... won't be out before weekend i guess.

still looking for a fingerprint scanner animation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] OttarA:
Nice one ;) Thou i kinda miss my androids popping up everywhere. Would it be cool if you had a Android face popping down from the top of the screen?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
nice one, on the list! ;)

keep it coming!

btw i am also open for tips on a good tool for animated gifs, begins to be a PITA to arrange everything by hand...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] felikz:
which tool do ya use atm?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
for now i found a way to edit the files in inkscape, one layer per frame, exporting them to .xcf keeping the layers, and then use gimp to convert to animated gif. works, but is a lot of footwork... but i guess as i am trying to make a rather "complex" (at least for a gif) animation it just is a lot of footwork...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] craig0r:
Hey, I was wondering if you could help me out. I dig your boot animation, and it's inspired me to make my own (OK, I'm just stealing the old "Cylon Eye" animation from the pre-release days.) Anyway, I've got the animation zip installed and working, however it seems like the phone is ignoring the frame delay. The animation seems to be going as fast as the phone can handle. So maybe there's a setting on the animated GIF that I'm not applying. Are there any specific settings you applied to your gifs?

Here's what I've got right now:

Interlace: No
GIF Comment: No
Loop Forever: Yes
Delay between frames where unspecified: 10ms
Frame disposal where unspecified: "I don't care" (other options are Combine and Replace)
Use Delay entered for all frames: Yes
Use Disposal entered for all frames: Yes

These settings are in GIMP. If you could help me figure this out, I'd greatly appreciate it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
set that value to a higher number, try 100ms. this specifies the general frame delay, you can set per-frame delays in the name of the frame. for example:

"Frame#1" is the layer name, make it

"Frame#1(500ms)" to make the delay half a second long.

(if that doesn't work try to google it, i am not 100% sure about the syntax)

would you mind sharing that animation you are talking about?

btw: work is still ongoing here, nuclear power now has a colored progress bar, but it is getting complicated handling 150+ layers in inkscape...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] craig0r:
Yeah, I realized that my math was off with the delay, after noticing yours was 500ms. I'm going to try a couple other things to get it smoother as well. The stock boot animation has a small animated gif in the middle of the screen with a black background, so I imagine the phone can handle that easier than a full 480x320 animation, so that's my next step. I was actually just about to post my animation in a separate thread, so I'll link that post here when I've done that.

EDIT: My initial attempt is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583094

There's still work to be done, so don't judge me to hard!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] motoyola:

So far, the registry hacks and whitelist are beautifully functional. Never like the idea of a TSR style program eating up what little memory we have.

One issue. The Phone app (keypad) goes all wonky when rotated. Both when the phone rings from the lock screen and during if you wish to remove the phone from your ear and change settings.

Any way to DISABLE JUST the phone screen/touchpad rotation while leaving everything else intact?

Thanks,

Rick

is anyone else's hero's screen discoloring in each of the four corners when the brightness is up? i cant explain it better than that, when the phone boots up when th brightness is pretty high, it looks like the corners of the screen are discoloring to like a whiteish color, ive went thru 5 heros so far between my girlfriend and i and every hero has the same problem. and im not returning the hero's for that problem, but for various other issues. just wondering if im the only one. and by the way, the htc moguls suffered from the same issue.
[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
this is a common problem I've had with basically every smartphone I've ever owned.... the only thing I return phones for is for dead pixels (not as common) it's just one of those things man
[Hero CDMA General] blankd3ckskat3r:
i had the samsung moment for a few days with the brightness all the way up and it never had this problem. it only seems to be on htc devices, even the moto droid doesnt have this issue.
[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
don't know what to tell ya then.... my samsung instinct, palm pre, htc mogul, htc touch pro, and now my htc hero all do it.... i don't notice it unless I'm looking for it
[Hero CDMA General] PikkonX:
Same here, but not just on smartphones, but pretty much every single backlit LCD device I've ever owned. You're not noticing the problem on the Moment because the screen most likely doesn't have a backlight due to the AMOLED technology.
[Hero CDMA General] blankd3ckskat3r:
is there any way to prevent it doing further damage? one hero i owned got so bad it was turning purple on every black screen, it got progressivly worse each day
[Hero CDMA General] PikkonX:
No clue. It really shouldn't be getting any worse unless something weird is going on with the LCD screen itself (that's what your problem sounds like), rather than just a little bit of light leaking through the corners.
[Hero CDMA General] thecodemonk:
I always thought those were just the light sources for some of the backlighting...
[Hero CDMA General] asrebel:
I have that issue on this hero (#3). I didn't notice it on the previous ones I owned, but I'm not saying it didn't exist.

[General Questions and Answers] Iceman692:
The only thing I hate about my new Tilt 2 is that horrible black WM taskbar. I want some type of more colorful, 3d task bar as well as come better icons. I've researched for the past 3 nights and all i've gotten is a headache. The tsowens taskbars and stuff only change icons. That's my secondary priority...Plus, i want to change some of his icons to a few of the extras he provided. He mentions that there are instructions to do so in another post but i could never find them. Could someone please guide me or show me a better solution? I really don't want to mess up my new Tilt 2...
[General Questions and Answers] flyboyovyick:
The icons are all usauly in the windows folder. So get new icons, get the correct file names, download total commander and replace them with that.

About the colour change try UITweaker there is loads of settings for changing colours in there.

Win Mob 6.5

Yes you are right on the part of Windows Mobile 7. It would surely be "game changing". The new WM 7 is designed to be used on devices with touchscreen only with QWERTY keyboards.Even surfing is made easier with "tabbed" browsing, except you can switch tabs by shaking the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] pelton:
Win Mob 6.5

Well, the start menu cannot be customized from the Honeycomb Menu. But let me add a point here, the honeycomb menu of winmo 6.5 is globally recognized as user-friendly menu because it makes the icons more distinguishable.
[General Questions and Answers] moonwitch:
It would be handy to be able to change the icon location and look, without hacking into the registry.

[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Here you go - if you scroll down to the first video on the page you'll see how they scratch HD2's screen with keys, a knife and scissors - and none of these leave any traces on the screen.

Warning: This is not for the faint of heart. Unless you are used to eating babies for breakfast you may be better off not watching this brutal torture video. Here's a quick test to check if you're ready:

1. Do you plan to start using an electric vehicle to help stop global warming?

2. Do you consider your personal contribution to the cause of Free Tibet insufficient?

3. Did you ever believe a politician?

If you answer "yes" to any of the questions above, this thread might be better for you.

[HD2 General] LBTaylor1984:
you can see the screen scratching with the scissors.

I guarantee you however hard it is, there will be marks on that screen, even if superficial.
[HD2 General] DocteurN:
No that's not scratches but a mark made by fat left by the fingers. He cleans the screen after and no more mark... :D
[HD2 General] LBTaylor1984:
Personally i'm seeing a smudge over where he was scratching, without cleaning the screen no conclusive information can be taken from this.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Well, he says there are no scratches left, for what it's worth. I would trust his opinion in this case rather than impressions from the video.
[HD2 General] jonneymendoza:
well even if their was scratches on teh scree from SISSORS it is still impressive. i mena come on, the guy was trying to scratch the screen and it diddnt.

what it doesnt show on the video is the amount of pressure he applied though.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
I'm sure you can scratch it, picking the right tools and the right pressure. But I think it's rather safe to assume that it's scratch resistant enough to keep the phone in your pocket without any shields.
[HD2 General] mallman:
agreed, i think the point behind the entire "scratch proof" is to prove that placing it in your pocket without a screen protector will not have it coming out looking like a touch HD 1 :) This is great news in my humble opinion!!
[HD2 General] precsmo:
not sure what is so bad of putting a screen protector, really? I won't take a risk at all to have a permanent scratch on my device!
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Well, because I hate doing things like applying those damned protectors; because those protectors get scratched fairly easily and your device starts looking like crap; because I can never apply them accurately enough so that they don't have bubbles underneath.

I hate them with a passion, really. I even wanted to by an iPhone because of this. When I first heard about capacitive screen on the Leo I didn't give a damn about multi-touch (and I still don't care much about it). My hope was that HTC would use a glass screen surface. Now I'm happy. The screen is scratch resistant; if I still manage to put a scratch on it, I'll have it replaced - it's not that expensive.
[HD2 General] ijob:
that was stressful watchin that :) The poor TD2
[HD2 General] ibsa03:
agree 100% with u, man i loved those iPhone screens, i could care less about the multi touch, i mean great, but if my HD 1 would have that screen, i'd be more than happy using it for a good more couple of months!
[HD2 General] hmota78:
Really impressive, thanks for sharing
[HD2 General] creed:
Ah c'mon! Some of you guys arguing about whether it scratched with scissors, ffs a car windscreen will scratch with scissors!! It very scratch resistant, i'm very impressed. Christ I wouldn't be surprised if some of you started complaining it's not dishwasher proof, jeez...
[HD2 General] precsmo:
it seems like not a reliable test to me, the reviewers seems using light pressure doing the test. And I really don't believe that any phone in the market can be really scratch resistant. Why taking the risk. In real world usages, there are many things can scratch glass surface very easily, and why leave some permanent scratches to the expensive device? What is so wrong with a screen protector?:confused::confused::confused:
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Man, this was already discussed here, both the fairness of the test and the reasons why people don't want screen protectors. And it wasn't like pages ago, it was just a few posts before yours.
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
But that is to be expected. That is actually main reason for capacitive touchscreen for me.

Resistive touchscreen uses several thin foils. It must flex under pressure to detect the pressure. It is mechanical device in principle. It will fail sooner or later, and it can't be any hard to resist scratches. Both resistance and longevity is rather good on today's device, compared to let's say Palm V. But the limits are still there. Use of screen protector would be very wise.

Capacitive screen is different league. It can be hard plastic few mm thick. It will never wear out, and it can be made considerably harder.

Still if you drop it on hard concrete, you can scratch it.
[HD2 General] AndyNic:
Good to see its scratch resistant having such a large screen like that lets hope it has an amount of flex in it too as being so thin i can see a few people sitting on them as I have done with my iphone a couple of times.
[HD2 General] stabloid:
It would defo be an added advantage for me. lol.

One other thing, can you even use a screen protector with a capacitive screen? Wouldn't the screen protector also need to be capacative?
[HD2 General] H2D2:
There are screen protectors for the HD2 including an official one from HTC which implies that they conduct electrical charge ;)
[HD2 General] alfa71omega:
Ask him to do the same thing on the HD... :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[HD2 General] spzero:
i bet i can scratch it with my 5 carrot diamond! lol, i really wanna upgrade my hd to this! :)
[HD2 General] pocketdoc:
Same discussions took place with the iPhone. I was a long-time WM user until I switched to the iPhone 2 years ago. This phone, however, may make me switch back. Love the huge screen and am waiting for mine to arrive. (Unfortunately, I live in the US and will have to deal with ATTs Edge network. Yuck!)

There are those that do not cover their cap screen, but I cannot. I actually use an anti-fingerprint film, since the glass surface gets tons of fingerprints. My preference.

You may be alright without protection, but that will be a personal decision.
[HD2 General] kersh:
expansys or htc official store (is the same)
[HD2 General] aussiebum:
I just received my HD2 order today (yay!) and I can tell you straight away that the HD2's glass screen is fairly fingerprint resistant.

Will probably still get a screen protector anyways though. have a bad habit of dropping my phone and having it slide across the (brick) driveway :rolleyes:

EDIT: on further impression, it's not as fingerprint resistant as I initially thought :p
[HD2 General] ma7moud:
I would put a screen protector only to reduce:

1- light reflection

2- finger print
