Sense 2.1!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 3to4:
I wish I could have the folowing.

- Without Copilot8 trial

- WM messaging (not HTC messaging) by default

Well. that's all..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Toss3:
Something that I'd definitely want is a simple and useful task manager that would make switching between say the music player and browser much less of a chore(I have the taskmanager on my startscreen as a quick launch icon). Just mapping the current task manager to one of the hard buttons would suffice.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] aussiebum:
* Super-fast.

* Loads of free ROM space - dump all unneeded crap like wallpapers and ringtones as separate cabs

* WM 6.5.x (a must!)

* Stock Manila with options to customise

* Dump Jblend for Jbed. Jbed is sooo much faster

* Microsoft Bluetooth Stack... if possible (probably not).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] puremind:
1- delete button on the email tab

2- graphical task switcher (similar to Windows 7) with touch scrolling through tasks

3- larger buttons (see NRJ Blackstone ROMs)

4- enable windows Mobile contacts in HTC "People" so you don't have to use the Windows Contacts application to create Windows Live contacts.

5- Ported Google Maps Navigation application from Android

6- enable importing of facebook phone numbers when linking contact to facebook, currently only birthday and picture are being imported.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Highl1:
Don't know if this is possible but

1. Option to save all e-mail (not just attachments) from all accounts to microSD

2. Import facebook birthday from contacts to calendar

3. Eliminate bugs with alarm app, sometimes I have to press 2-3 times to get into app
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Bouloama:
- Without Copilot8 trial

- as close to stock as possible.

- option to have chinese traditional support (dislay/keyboard) :)

Dont take this the wrong way but..

Many chefs here choose to make their ROMs to fit the "market", to please as many as possible. So changes as, transparency there, transparency here, app this, app that. Its just to specific to each induvidual that want a cooked ROM.

Dont get me wrong, its good that you guys tell the/us chefs what you want. But this could just be done in the chefs ROM threads instead.

Just read the posts. Many of you takes up the same things. If you want a ROM that fist all youre needs, cook it youre self (Or talk to a nice chef to do if for you?).

Just my 2 cents..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Archer:
I couldn't agree more. I don't "cook" myself, but I'm an avid taster :)

I would personally LOVE to see a ROM with nothing but the basics on there, along with a list of CABs, in order to install anything not included. That way, we can have a real lite version of the OS & GUI, and customize the software ourselves. I'm just after more space, and less of what I don't actually want!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] barbapappa_86:
Excactly.. There are UC comp ROMs and SHASHIMI to tweak the phone after HR, so just cooking some stuff in it is worse imo. I just dont se the point.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] puremind:
The only advantage I see is fast setup after hard reset if all the settings and tweaks are included in a ROM.

But many requests we have here are things for which there are no cabs, so maybe it is interesting not only to the cooks but also to the app developers (BS Tweak, Max Manilla, Touch X Icons etc...).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Audio Oblivion:
Agreed.

Would love to see an Ultra Lite ROM with everything that can be removed gone. In addition to this... cab files to put the removed stuff back if you wanted to.

What really annoys me with ROMs is when apps like google maps and Opera are cooked in.... These apps are always being updated so removing them from ROMs just makes sense!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] waza123:
Request

- Better touch screen accuracy.

- Better touch keyboard accuracy (like in iPhone)

- Close/Minimize buttons like in Windows 95/98/NT/XP/Vista/7

- Some kind of Windows 7 pined buttons at the bottom of screen, so you can always Maximize soft.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mouki_9:
a lot more storage space, unbelievable now... 512mb rom standard, after initial setup there is only 178.11MB free to use???? So so soooooo wrong.... lol

working taskmanager @ top right corner, one which doesn't slow the device down!!!! showcase is no option, unresponsive and too big. One tap should be enough to display the running tasks..... (with the option to close them or switch to them)

fix the htc weather graphics of frost/snow (see attached pic for clarification :P) --> only noticeable when you use hdwall for full screen wallpapers.

find a way to limit the number of sms to display when using threaded sms. It takes ages for the damn program to load the conversation. If for example it only loads like 20-30 sms, then there will be no problem i think. May b a button to show history (all?) --> may b better a suggestion to HTC, apparently they haven't tested with a large number of text messages. If they did...... SHAME ON YOU! :P
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Emperor88:
This is what you're looking for. It adds the missing task manager that was present on the Touch Diamond and others.

Ordered my HD2, it should arrive in a few days.

I use extensively Excel Mobile on my HD. Since I am reading various (negative) comments about the inputting of text on the HD2 was wondering if anybody can suggest a very good software keyboard for the HD2

Thanks
[HD2 General] gargon01:
Try Swype, the best keyboard I've ever used on a mobile device.:)
[HD2 General] omneity:
How well would Swipe work when inputting numbers?
[HD2 General] gargon01:
It works fine. You can use it by swiping your fingers across the keys or as a normal keyboard. You can even reduce the swiping function so that it can only be used as a normal keyboard. It's a lot less sensitive than the native HD2 keyboard....
[HD2 General] claudioita:
how does it work with common used Excel keys, specifically:

"= + - * / ( ) ; :"

besides have found the website but nowhere to download and/or buy it

Hi everyone,

I used to have MyphoneExplorer for my k800i but know I have the x1 but cant find any program like MyphoneExplorer for free.

Does anyone know a free program like myphoneexplorer to organize my texts/calls/ etc etc

Hope someone can help

ty
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudegar:
you should prob describe what functionality your MyphoneExplorer offered

as people here would be more likely to know about programs for wm then old SE phone programs
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kev!n:
The program saves text messages.. and you can accept cals trough your pc.

I found oxycube from oxygen. But that program is pretty expensive.. and would like a similar free program
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kev!n:
no one is using a phone manager on your desktop??
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbizix:
MyPhoneExplorer is an awesome program that let you connect your phone to your computer (either by bluetooth or cable), and from your computer you can do those things:

- Contact: view, change, and sync your contact to the program own database, or Outlook, Outlook Express, or Gmail

- The same thing goes for calendar and note, you can sync them to its own database or Outlook. With calendar, you are given the option to sync to GCal, Rainlendar, or ICal

- You can also set up alarm from your computer and sync it to your phone

- It syncs all the record of your call: miss, receive, dial

- It syncs all your messages, and with the extra feature of archive your deleted messages.

- It let your browse your files on the phone: your pictures, your music...

- it monitor the status of your phone: storage, memory, bluetooth signal, phone signal, battery...

Literally, after connected, your computer is just like a huge screen phone with keyboard. You can browse everything that are on your phone. And when a sms arrives, it pops up like a chat window. And when a call comes, it pops up on your screen whether you want to accept or reject.

So far I never seen any program that can do all sort of thing. I can get some program to do some certain things I want. But I dont see any that sucks up all things I need to do with my phone into 1 program, like MyPhoneExplorer. My mind was just blown away when I used it. Honestly, after switching to a Win.Mobile platform, I still miss some of the features from MyphoneExplorer. I admit I am a big fan of it, not mention that it is free.

I am in the same boat with you. I owned a k800i and try recently bought a Touch Pro2. I try to find a replacement for MyPhoneExplorer and I find this one: MOBILedit. Its features description and its screenshot show it has similar functions to MyPhoneExplorer. Unfortunately, my phone is unsupported. So I cannot tell you how well those functions work.

But I see your phone is on the supported phone list. So maybe you can try it and see how it compares to MyPhoneExplorer. It is not free thou. And I doubt if there is any program offers all those cool features for free.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kev!n:
I just found xilisoft mobile phonemanager and its free!!.. And I only want to buy software if its great .. and mobiledit its ok for free but not great!.. if you know what I mean

hello i have flash a new rom 1.56xx on my blackstone spl 1.54 and when i do the calibration the screen goes white and after 2 second it returns on the calibration screen and doesn't go forward. i tried 3 or 4 different rom and also to restore the original spanish rom but the problem remains.

HEEEEELPPPPP
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vegelith:
i tried also hard reset but nothing the problem remain
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
You need to accurately press the mid point of the crosses with a stylus. If it returns to the calibration screen it generally means that you have not accurately calibrated the screen.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vegelith:
i tried so many many times with stylus but it return every time in calibration. I have a question. can i with ceregistryeditor modify a value to skip the calibration?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pkshr:
Solutions:

1) Do not quick tap the "+" signs, press them (and wait) until they get moved by themselves.

2) If you have screen protector on your screen then it's time to replace it.

3) Please flash the official ROM first and then flash a custom ROM.

I believe the solution #1 should take care of your experience.

I have open the .nbh file with htc rom image editor and i have overwrite welcome.ink with a blank file. GREAT :D

i think that the problem is not with the rom but with the display. i have to jump the calibrate and with official rom with welcome.not in the root dir of the telephone and the storage card it works. with cooked rom no. when i reset the device the file in storage card remains but the copy in the root of telephone disappears. after so many hours of attemptes i have modified the rom and now i jump the calibrate :)
[Hero CDMA General] BhRaElEfD:
I just flashed a new ROM and now my screen rotates really slowly when I use Handcent or the browser. When I turn the phone sideways, the screen image resizes and then bounces back and forth a few times before filling the screen.

Anyone have issues like this?

I like the new ROM (thanks fresh & flipz), but this screen rotation is so annoying that I might just go back to .6.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Question.....

Windows Live has a service that you can view all your e-mail accounts and social networks from one site....(they've seen Vodafone 360 services probably) but I've one big problem with that. I would like to keep one contact list between my HD2, Outlook and Windows Live.

So I download the Live Plugin for outlook expecting that it will sync my calendar, tasks and contact list between outlook and Windows Live...but no....My Windows Live contacs, Calendar and Task list appear as a extra list in Outlook....now can I copy it from one list to another...but that's not synchronization....or can I somehow change the list it syncs?

I tried to delete the standard outlook contacts,calendars and tasks so that the phone would sync with the list Windows Live made but I can't......I've made the Live data file "default" but the mobile phone can't sync with it.

You can select in the Windows Live application on your phone to download and merge the contacts in your phone but that's only once and not if I change something in the phone that it will upload the contact

What to do? Help me plz....

The thing I like is that when I add a contact in my phone it also synchronises to the Windows Live contact list and to outlook.....but how?
[General Questions and Answers] jeck77:
This is something I'm wondering about also. How come Windows Live Contacts don't two-way sync with Windows Mobile? I know that they will be upgrading their Windows Live services to support full Exchange protocol soon, but what do we do in the meantime? I don't understand how come this was never implemented in the first place.

Hi friend

when we turn on HD2, phone vibrate. (0.5 Sec!)

how can we remove it ?

with registry? (how?!)

[HD2 General] Archer:
I can guarantee that you won't be able to change this with a registry setting. Registry is used within Windows, and what you're talking about happens before Windows is even started, let alone loaded.

This is a lot deeper than that.

[Android Software Development] TonyDeez:
We all know that multitouch is capable on the popular G1 and myTouch. Now I was wondering if adding such a feature onto the virtual keyboard is a can-do. All for the sake of exponentially increasing text insertion speed.
[Android Software Development] MarcLandis:
I don't see a reason to use multitouch for text input. What should happen if you enter 2 keys at the same time?
[Android Software Development] acejoker25000:
the point of multi-touch on the vk is to increase the speed of texting meaning u can press a key directly after another without fear of the keys not registering. it really helps when holding the phone sideways because when text i start texting too fast and keys dont register correctly. thats y im still partial to the hard keyboard.
[Android Software Development] genomalice:
The reason for multi-touch is simple... take a look at the iPhone, if you hit one key and then before releasing it hit another it registers both hits. So that way you can type much quicker! Try this on the android/htc/better keyboards and you'll see that if you hit two keys at the same time, it will register a key that is almost always half-way in between the two.

However, I think Google is having a hard-time coding for not simultaneous taps but for timing. Meaning that if you hit both the 'K' and the 'N' keys at the same time while trying to type the word 'KNOW', the software not only has to recognize that 2 keys were hit; but has to resolve which one was hit first or was likely meant to be hit first. So that way, it can say

"hey, he hit the 'K' and the 'N' at virtually the same time; BUT, because he hit the 'K' .00002 seconds before the 'N' I'll put register and display the 'K' before the 'N'"

Multi-touch in the browser is probably not easy to code for but it certainly is much easier than the keyboard because pinching only requires the software to recognize that two fingers are on the screen, not that one was there before the other.

But, I think Google needs to work on the usability of the keyboard first. The screen-size on the magic and keyboard might restrict them somewhat but damn the virtual keyboard layout is verry bad... I always hit the "M" key when trying to hit the "DELETE" key.. And why not auto-popup the keyboard when you enter messaging? and why is there the "smiley" key in messaging? WASTE OF SPACE?!?
[Android Software Development] tbaker077:
I thought the HTC keyboard sorta-of had multi-touch support, no?
[Android Software Development] TonyDeez:
How does one "sorta" have multi-touch support?
[Android Software Development] mttmllns:
I would love to see this. My biggest problem is not registering a space in between words because I hit it too quickly and then the autocorrect can't fix the issue. Maybe a 3rd party keyboard developer would be interested in incorporating this into their app?
[Android Software Development] exile20:
I believe better keyboard has multi touch.
[Android Software Development] karolbe:
It does not, unfortunately.
[Android Software Development] tbaker077:
I think I only got it working with the bottom row of keys.
[Android Software Development] IConrad01:
I can't fathom how one would get the Dream/Magic (G1/myTouch3G) to have a fully functional multitouch keyboard. The multitouch capacity of these devices is hackish to say the least; if the horizontal or vertical coordinates of the touched points coincide to within a rather wide range (comparatively speaking) then the device is incapable of registering more than one touch -- and it wouldn't necessarily be /either/ of the points originally touched.

That would seem to me to be a game-breaker.

Unless I misunderstand? Perhaps the Droid or Cliq are different.
[Android Software Development] mttmllns:
Reading this got me curious so I went back to Luke Hutchison's blog posts on the matter and played around with his multitouch demo apps here and it looks like there are indeed problems. I then found this post which explains his observations on the matter.

Even with these limitations, though, it's hard to say if there would be much of an issue. I think this "rather wide range" you speak of is small enough. The QWERTY keyboard layout was designed to spread out keys to minimize "jams" of neighboring keys. This works in our favor, making the distance between possible close-to-simultaneous keypresses rather large on average. If I play with the virtual keyboard a little bit, I notice that if my fingers are hitting neighboring keys I don't have problems with simultaneous presses because I have to move my first finger out of the way to make room for the second. I do have unusually large fingers, but give it a try yourself.

Who knows though...it may indeed be too inaccurate.

Also, it looks like there's a similar thread to this one over here.
[Android Software Development] IConrad01:
The trouble, as I understand it, is that you could not touch two points on the same horizontal "read" line of the device, at the same time. You could probably do top row and bottom row as multitouch, but not middle row and anything else. (Assuming three rows total.)

It's not just about touching two keys simultaneously but that if the same capacitors are triggered horizontally, then the device will read this as one -- confused -- input. And if the same capacitors are triggered horizontally, the same will occur.
[Android Software Development] Zoide_:
It is my understanding that the Motorola Milestone's Eclair keyboard is multi-touch. Can anyone confirm that?
[Android Software Development] vtecbros:
i can conform that there is a multi-touch keyboard. Ive actually tested it out. They rebuild the keyboard and made capable of it. I think its called HTC VK keyboard. And yes i can press 2 keys at the same time too.

I have a t mobile Touch pro 2, love the keyboard but i would rather go back to android. Its almost new if anyone is interested let me know in a pm. thanks.
[Android Software Development] ajones7279:
If I'm not mistaken, the HTC Keyboard on the hero has multitouch.
[Android Software Development] kendong2:
sorry but you are mistaken. the hero does not even have real multitouch in the driver. one finger gives a small dot, while a second finger would increase the dot size that is reported from the driver, the bigger the distance between fingers the bigger the dot size. this way the pinch-to-zoom works, but it does not actually detect a second touch.

you can see this with various application that show the touch graphically, for example cracked screen or steamy window.
[Android Software Development] ajones7279:
Then I stand corrected. Just relaying something I heard. But doesn't mulititouch have to be written into the program? Like how Picsay had multitouch on the Droid whereas other apps didn't? Just throwing things out there.
[Android Software Development] Zilliano:
Dunno about the Hero, but the Eris definitely does have it.

Also- multitouch DOES have to be coded into the application. The driver isn't important at all if the application itself only supports one input.
