I signed up with a new 2 year contract with Vodafone Business last Friday, but I was told on Monday that stock would be in on Wednesday. I received a call from their Customer Care team this morning to ask if everything was going OK with my call plan! I explained that I had yet to receive the phone and the gentleman was apologetic and explained that they had a very few units available and that he would get one out to me tomorrow.

My number won't be transferred until Monday but apparently all Vodafone phones are not SIM locked so I'll be able to use it straight away with my existing O2 SIM and at least I won't have to carry two phone with me on Monday!

I'm looking forward to getting this phone, my last upgrade from an O2 Orbit to and Orbit 2 was a bit of a disappointment as there was little speed advantage. The reviews I've so far read seem pretty promising.

VFUK customer relations have told me that some are due into stock on 27th November...

Hello everyboy.

I have setup a Gmail account through the Microsoft Outlook client on the phone. For some reason I cannot seem to be able to download any attachments. If I tap on the files I can see they are downloading, but then nothing happens! If I tap on the file again it seems like it downloads again.. but with no luck. If I then go through the file manager and look for the (supposedly) downloaded files I cannot find them anywhere.

Any ideas?
[HD2 General] tomasz:
When you are using Gmail through ActiveSync (m.google.com) Attachments not being delivered is a known bug at Google.

When using IMAP/POP3, they should download fine. Are your download settings set to downloading all attachments?
[HD2 General] Sim-1:
Thanks for the fast reply. Yes, my settings are set to download all attachments.

What's the difference between using Gmail through ActiveSync and using a standard IMAP/POP3 setting?
[HD2 General] tomasz:
When using ActiveSync, you get push-mail (but no attachments from non-gmail senders as long as the bug isn't fixed) For info on this particular bug, see: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=6fdf9db207ba49d4&hl=en

Using IMAP/POP3 gives you regular e-mail access. No Push-mail, but you can set the device to sync every xx minutes/hours.
[HD2 General] Sim-1:
Hey tomasz, you were right! I set up a different account through standard IMAP settings and now it works like a charm! Thanks a lot for your help.

Now how can I delete the Outlook Active Sync email I have previously configuered?
[HD2 General] Sim-1:
Actually, I managed to delete the account on my own:

Start --> Tools --> ActiveSync and then I unchecked all the options. As a result it deleted the mailbox.

Wow, very great. I like this Theme.

I try it and it's very great.

Is it possible to do this in white?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] zeevik:
Very nice!

Love!

Good also for 2.8?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] pookie1:
The problem with making a white theme is that the fonts are in white too so they won't show up. I'm not sure yet how to change the font colour.

This only works on 2.9. I started working on it when 2.8 was out, but had to restart for 2.9. I threw away the 2.8 version, sorry!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] zeevik:
Might be good for 2.8, I will try.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Uh, the Fonts. Okay.

And the Navbars on Bottom and Top only? Does that work?

I think for white Hero every widgets etc in Black, but this Both bars in White...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ELIMINATED:
Any way you can get this to work with MoDaCo's 1.1 rom for the Sprint Hero? Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] pookie1:
Formel what do you mean by navbars? Like the status bar at the top and the phone button at the bottom? There's still the fonts problem, I'm not sure how to get around it.. Maybe someone can enlighten me?

Formel please can you post this theme on your German forum?

I can make a CDMA version soon, just need some free time and I'll make it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Yes, I mean the status Bar on Top and the three Buttons on bottom.

I've found yesterday in market a Theme for GDE Home replacement in White.

I think I've seen here a theme with white status bar.

Suddenly, i've forgotten to make a new thread at Handy-FAQ.de. Thank you for reminding.

Now, I did:

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] pookie1:
Cool thanks for posting it up dude! I'll try and look into the white theme a little more as I'd like it too ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
would you be so kind to share some of your knowledge?

i would like to have the transparent background for the notification pulldown, aswell as the bottom bar with the "mold" in it, but i would like to have it with the stock colors. if you could tip me off witch apk i should look in, and maybe even what files to replace that would be super awesome! pretty please...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] pookie1:
Sure - The background for the notification pulldown is called status_bar_background.png and can be found in \res\drawable-480x320\ in framework-res.apk

The bottom bar mold, do u mean the 2-tone effect? Doesn't the stock rom already have that effect in stock colours though? The bottom bar stuff is in \res\drawable-port-480x320\ in Rosie.apk anyway.

Give me a shout if you need anything else!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
I did it with pleasure! I hope, we'll become more good themes for our HTC Sense.

Pookie1, look at this link: http://www.androidpit.de/android/de/de/tests/test/391207/GDE-The-new-home-experience

This is the Home replacement GDE. Therefor, somebody did a white Theme.

But I think, it can't be translate to HTC sense....

​

That looks nice, too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] pookie1:
Ok I found time already and converted it to the CDMA ROM. Are you willing to test for me? I only have the GSM Hero. Let me know and I'll send you the link :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] pookie1:
Yeah looks very nice! But as it's in GDE it might be easier to change the fonts for that. I will start looking into changing the fonts, I'm pretty sure it's possible in Sense.

Thanks for posting it on your forum! If you have any exclusive themes over there, please bring them over to XDA for everyone here too :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Of course, I did!

Thank you for your work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
thanks for that quick answer! i will dig into that tonight, no time to do it at work... :rolleyes:

what i meant with the bottombar see attachment. as long as i know where to look i think i can find it.

just for my curiosity/clarification: all you do to create a theme is extracting the apk, alter the image files in it, compress & resign and install? or is there more to it, like altering xml files (which i can not open as they are compiled?) just that i'm on the right track here... :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] pookie1:
Haha ok I get you know, I thought you were talking about mould :p Yes you can definitely turn that bar back to grey. I can do it for you if you get stuck. Now I know that's the bit you mean, I think that's in the same folder as the background transparency, \res\drawable-480x320\ in framework-res.apk. I'm not at my dev computer right now so I can't be totally sure, but if you can't find it let me know and I'll have another look.

Yes you're on the right track, that should work fine. It can get a bit confusing but if you keep all your files organised you should be fine.

I didn't alter any xml files to make my theme, so just leave those alone and replace the .png files.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
alright, thanks a lot, i will show you the outcome ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] dying4004:
making a white colored rosie isnt a big deal. matter of 30 minutes. but prob is with status bar font color. i have been trying to change that font color for last 10 days. but failed many times.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ELIMINATED:
Yes, I'm very willing to try it for you. But beware, I'm a noob to this, so instructions on applying it will be needed. I'm good at doing what I'm told, though. I did manage to root and install MoDaCo's rom. Can't wait to try it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Hm, good to read that.

I've tried that at home. I'll take one of the Buttons on the Bottom, coloured it white with Gimp and saved it to the *.apk file, where i have got it from.

Then copy to my phone and it won't boot, so I need Nandroid....

What's the failure, here?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] pookie1:
You will need to sign the apk to get it work.

ELIMINATED, sending you a PM now with instructions. Don't worry it's straight forward ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
lol i skillfully managed to f*ck up my complete system...

i think somewhere in the process i forgot to unmount my sdcard and ext partition on my pc and rebooted my phone. after reflashing the complete rom to go back to the state where i started it boots up again, but i keep getting force closes on almost every app in the ext partition... forgot to make a nandroid backup also, but that's not the problem since the system boots up again. well, at least this evening won't get boring restoring my apps. so kids remember: when you're messing with the system think about backing up your ext partition!

Thanks for the Smokin Green theme, would it be possible to upload the original theme so that a roll back can be achieved without having to do a nandroid restore. I do nandroid backups as a safety precaution anyways but it would be quicker just to re-install the original theme.

I appreciate all your hard work and i for one cant wait for other colors to appear, i have noticed the problem that you seem to have with fonts on a white theme. If you check this thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=587943

it explains that the file controlling the font color is services.jar in /system/framework/

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
Very nice theme! Really appreciate your hard work!

Has anyone tested this on anything older than MCR v2.9?

I'm still running v2.2 and currently see no real reason to upgrade as my phone is running pretty sweet at the moment. Getting a bit bored of the standard gray theme though so I might just take the plunge and try it myself.

Cheers ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Take a nandroid update and try yourself. It's quick'n'easy.

Thanks for your efforts and keep up the awesome work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] pookie1:
Interesting it works on 2.2, thanks for testing. And thanks formel for posting original theme.

For the lockscreen, I can make you an update to reapply the arc, but it's still in grey. Let me know if you want that. I'd make it green too but at the moment got a lot of stuff on.

Here's my wallpaper, you can resize it when you apply it to your phone:

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
No probs about testing on v2.2, I'm happy to help ;)

Cheers for the backgrounds too! I'll use the Wallpaper Set & Save app to apply them as it seems to maintain the picture quality better than doing it via the phone settings (which is bad for dithering).
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] pookie1:
I made an add-on pack to make the lockscreen arc green. I had to get rid of the top bar as it looks awful when recoloured. I think it looks nicer without so I'm releasing that one:

Kinda new to this theme stuff, to install this do i just rename it to update.zip and do it that way? How do i remove it if i dont like it?

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Ewaf:
Bump? :(

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] seanyowl:
You can rename it update.zip or leave the name as it is and use recovery to pick the zip file to update. To restore back to the original either re-flash the Rom completely or i do believe there is and update zip of the original theme that you can flash.

And of course do a nandroid backup first and see if the original theme in update format is suitable for your version of Rom that you have installed.

There is also an app called Metamorph which allows modification of the themes on individual basis or full themes, that can be found on this site or on the Market.

See here for Metamorph http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=609806&highlight=metamorph or run a search.

Hi guys

My Girlfriend got herself a Nokia E71 - nothing to be jelous about, if u got a Topaz :)

But there was an APP i really miss on my Topaz. She has an APP for Internetradio Stations, where she can search for Genre and/or Name and stream it directly.. pretty awsome.

Is there an app like this for Pocket PC for free? Or is it possible to make the Nokia app run on WM6.5?

OR does someone got Tips, how I can stream Internet-Radiostations on my Topaz? (but I really prefere an app like the nokia one)

Try Resco-Radio. It's not free but a great app.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] pedroo:
Yes, Resco radio is the best one....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Pete_S:
I would happily pay for a good internet radio app, but Resco still doesn't support wma streams (which unfortunately excludes all my favourite stations). This, in my opinion, severely cripples it.

If you're in the UK and want to listen to the BBC amongst others, MyPlayer is suitable.

Otherwise, any other ideas are welcome...

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Pete_S:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] abcls:
I can also recommend Wunderradio, I think it supports the most radio stations worldwide.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Kenn Lynch:
Hey guys just as a follow up

I was intrigued by the description of Wunderradio

I already played with the Hardware FM radio in my Pure/Topaz

And results, where as can be expected for a pocket FM radio

But Wonderradio generally has a large channel selection not limited to

the local stations and signal quality had been very good

(as good as your data connection in your area)

I'm visiting Tucson and its been very good around town

They have a 15 day free full feature trial and after that its price is

actually U$15. Give it a "look see" you can't go wrong

I will very likely keep and register this one.

It's a bit crude compared with a dedicated player, but if you only need a few stations (as I do), then you can get the links from this website:

http://www.listenlive.eu

If you browse to this in Opera, you can find the stations you want and then click on the relevant MediaPlayer links. Save the files somewhere on your device or storage card. You can then open them from file explorer and stream the station in MediaPlayer...

hi, i want to buy a htc p4351 and i've been reading the tutorials, faqs, and stuff here, and it looks a great phone with great custom rooms, kitchens and stuff and i will probably but it...

but i dont get the differences between htc herald, t-mobile wing, htc p4351 and htc p4350, are their roms compatible? programs are also compatible?

i also want to know if you can permanently brick it or if you make a original rom backup it is impossible to brick it permanently. also the programs developed for it are in what language? java, c++, .net, all of them?

tthaks for the help :D
[Wing, P4350 General] ashasaur:
They are all the same device, just from different regions and different keyboard layouts. The insides are the same, thus the ROMs are compatable. The programs are also cross compatable...pretty much all Windows Mobile programs are.

You CAN permanently brick your Wing...tho it is rather hard. Just follow the instructions COMPLETLY. READ EVERYTHING before you start and you should be fine.

WinMo programs are usually coded in .net...but there are Java emulators, they can be written in C..its just the developers preference. Windows Mobile basically supports all the programming languages that standard desktop Windows does. You dont have to compile the programs or whatever though if that is why you ask...most come as a .cab file, which is a self extracting installer.

Hope that helps!
[Wing, P4350 General] bug666:
oh ok thaks alot :D i'm asking about the programming language beacuse i want to know the programing languages avaliable, or if u had to use java, .net or some obscure windows mobile specific programming language, maybe someday make some program for it lol

and about bricking: so it has the bootloader and the os, and u can upgrade then alone, no need to write to the bootloader if u just want to change the os? so even if i make a complete backup with the right memory card and stuff, if i write invalid data to the bootloader all hope is gone? the phone is dead and the only hope is opening it and writing directly into the rom?(if this is possible)

ah also is the architecture open? they provide iformation about the phone's assembly, memory map, maybe some c compiler?

again thaks a lot :)
[Wing, P4350 General] ace10134:
You can use C++ or C#, or the Java mobile suff, I believe.

Bootloader - This stays the same, and is seperate from the OS, but HardSPLing tweaks the bootloader, etc. And you are NOT writing crap to the bootloader, there's no reason.

ROM's - You can create your own ROM's and tweak the operating system however you like, by using a kitchen, like Ivan's SuperJustKitchen. You can mess around with lotts there.

[Wing, P4350 General] bug666:
thanks once again, but if something go wrong while writing to the bootloader, the battery disconnects or whatever happens will the phone be forever dead or there is still hope?

about tweaking the OS, and what if i want to make my own OS, is this possible? i mean, is the phone architecture open? there is information about its assembly, memory map and very low level stuff?

thanks once again for your time :D
[Wing, P4350 General] ace10134:
Well just don't let anything go bad while HardSPLing!!! :) HardSPL is the ONLY thing you will be doing to the bootloader. Just be careful when doing it, and everything will go fine. The last resort option from recovering from a brick is "Goldcard", but you shouldn't need to do that.

And idk, you can do lots with Windows phones. People have ported over Android to the Wing! So that proves that lots of stuff is possible. I haven't played around with that stuff though.
[Wing, P4350 General] ashasaur:
As far as the architecture of the phone is considered, it is open...if you can find the information for the various components. The CPU is an Texas Instruments OMAP850, the same as the Wizard and Shadow/Juno use. As far as anything else goes you will be hard pressed to find any real reliable information for things such as the RAM or flash and such. You could possibly ask the boys over at the Wing Linux project if they would make their information available to you because I believe that it is available under the GPL.

Anywho, just as ace said, Android and good old regular Linux are both bootable on the Wing, so the support is there, albeit limited.
[Wing, P4350 General] bug666:
oh so even if it is not open there is already reverse engineering enoght to make a new os, so great :D
