In 10 days as I have Blackstone, ROM in my signature is 4th.

I guess I'll stick with it for some time since I don't see much advantage in 6.5.x ROMs...

It's my opinion.
[Touch HD General] max_carpenter:
Thanks for the replies, Just wanted to know what peoples favs are at present. I am downloading about 4 different roms to try. Currently trying Duttys as I have used his before on my TD but don't think this one is right for me so will see what the other four are like, but its going to be leaving them over night taking a long time to download ......
[Touch HD General] Sithlord:
I've used the stock ROM 6.1 for about a year and was satisfied with it but there was nothing finger friendly there, I had to tweak font size of popup menus and such to have some kind of finger friendly device.

A month ago, I switched to the ROM on my signature and also updated the Radio to the latest release.

From a OS point of view, this ROM (6.5) just flies, this is quite incredible. I've tried several other ROMs (Xnor, PDAViet) all being 6.5.x ROMs but I reverted back. WM 6.1 and 6.5 are fine and quite speedy but 6.5.x (bottom startmenu and close button) are way too experimental yet and thus very slow and heavy to deal with everyday (at least for me). Do not misunderstand me, the above mentioned ROM are well done by their authors, I blame WM 6.5.x for all the slowlyness I faced during tests, I'm sure there was no special fault from the cooks.

I intend to cook this ROM a bit to change some aspects but nothing fundamental. I recommend it, it's very fast and stable.

From a Radio point of view, I must admit that 1.17.x (with latest RILPhone cab too) makes dialing a bit faster (less laggy) and gets signal in very adverse conditions but in the other hand, drains a bit more battery. I was previously using 1.13.x radio from the stock WWE ROM so one of these days, I'll downgrade to 1.14.x radio to see if I still get the increased battery usage.

Hope this helps a bit.

Just curious if I would.

No, you will not lose your 6.5ROM when hard reset. However, all your personal installed software will be erased.

I have documents that show what needs to be done for the chip to put out video, I just don't know how on earth to program...code, or whatever you call it. Is this possible? or impossible? Who's willing to give it a shot?
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
What are you trying to accomplish? Be specific.
[G1 Apps and Games] RavenII:
Yes, of course, I'm sorry....

A Jailbroken iPod Touch has the ability to output the whole UI (not just when playing a video) with the use of ScreenSplitr. I'm wondering if there's someone out there that would be able to develop the same thing so we could use the G1 as a good portable media device.

I'm currently using my iPod in my car as my media center/internet device...which I don't want to do anymore.
[G1 Apps and Games] goldenarmZ:
I think he wants to output the frame buffer over usb.. I've thought of doing it before but I have no idea if it's possible.
[G1 Apps and Games] RavenII:
Right...that's what I said...framebuffer...usb...I have a table with arm registers...I don't know what can be done with that...but yeah...I have it.
[G1 Apps and Games] jacsonmoore3:
its noway to output video from a G1..the phone dont have the hardware for it..thats what i think
[G1 Apps and Games] RavenII:
But it does...the chipset does...
[G1 Apps and Games] goldenarmZ:
Im sure it's possible to dump the screen output straight to usb, but then you need a program on the host pc to receive the feed. I use RemoteJoy to play my girlfriend's PSP on the tv.. it's essentially the same thing you're looking for.
[G1 Apps and Games] RavenII:
I wish I could attach the file I have...It's actually in this link it shows a link to PDFs...

And, I meant video out like how the Touch Pro has...with a little HTC video cable output etc...
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
Tv Out, or something like that.

And I posted a thread asking if it could be developed but I guess the actual Drivers to the usb port can't do it or some junk.
[G1 Apps and Games] RavenII:
See that's what I don't get...everyone keeps saying it's not doable, but the fact of the matter is, the chip supports it...so what is it that doesn't allow it? I've tried searching for "TV Out", "TV Output", "Video Out", "Video Output"...etc, throwing HTC, G1, Dream in to google, and come up with threads that seems like no one followed up on...
[G1 Apps and Games] RavenII:
Andddd....this thread is dead....great.
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
The framebuffer is located at /dev/graphics/fb0. Reading this is trivial. For example, fbvncserver from here: http://code.google.com/p/android-vnc/ uses it as the display source.

You won't be able to get a video source straight from the hardware since this capability is physically not connected to anywhere, at least as far as I can tell. I know that an actual video out signal is generated by the "big chip" but you wont be able to get at it without butchering the mainboard. There is a slim possibility that these pins may be connected up to test pads on the mainboard, but I wouldn't count on it.

Either way, use of the framebuffer would definitely be the best approach, and can be done as is without much effort. What you do with this is up to you and your exact objectives -- as I've mentioned, you can *right now* just run fbvncserver and pull the video to a vnc client over the network connection (preferably wifi, bluetooth, or USB -- note that USB networking is possible using the program "wired tether for root users" and related driver...). VNC is probably a little slow though -- it won't carry video framerates.
[G1 Apps and Games] RavenII:
See...I'm just up for discussion...brainstorm if you will...I don't know if many of you are into hardware, but typically, a chip HAS to be wired a certain way...

For example...the USB port on the bottom of the phone is typically configured where

If you notice, some pins can be assigned to different functions...I think the chip routes what to where...but I just don't know arm...or anything like that...
[G1 Apps and Games] psychoace:
Yeah but your main problem is that you need to have a microusb to composite/component/s-video/hdmi dongle. Even if you did have that dongle you would still need drivers to support sending a video signal to that port and decoding it to be used by said output device. You might be able to make a break out box that can do the video separation but still getting it to that box involves a lot of drivers on both ends.
[G1 Apps and Games] mr_notorious:
HTC does make the cable, but it is meant for the various version of the HTC Touch and a few other HTC models.
[G1 Apps and Games] RavenII:
See, there are a few WM based HTC phones that people have gotten to do video out that never even had the option listed...For example, my old HTC Mogul (Titan)...Simple registry hack, and 5 bucks later...Video output...or you could even get the app from a Touch Pro, and run it, and get video out.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] antispam007:
Hi all,

I'm facing a strange problem from my WM6.1 phone (HP614c), the WAV1 doesn't start automatically at startup (therefore the speaker is not enabled), also the keypad-wheel is disabled.

At first I believed that its a hardware problem but I can have it fixed after a factory reset. The problem is that after installing one or two programes (I'm pretty sure that its not related to the prog that I want to install), it always ends up with the same result. The WAV1 doesn't start at boot.

I will appreciate any help in tackling this problem, or in writing a boot script to start WAV1.

Thanks in advance,

Santiago
[HD2 General] Tubgirl:
Is it possible to make a shortcut to the Games Folder (or any other folder) as a Quick Launch button on the today screen? I have several games and it would take up too many Quick Launch slots so just using one slot to the Games folder would be great.

/Tubgirl
[HD2 General] profahmad:
You'll have to create the shortcut yourself using the file explorer (copy and 'paste shortcut'). Once you have the shortcut placed in the /Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder you should be able to add it to the home screen.

In case you didn't know the Games folder itself is located in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs
[HD2 General] Tubgirl:
Thank you profahmad. I'm new to Windows Mobile so I'm still learning.

I tried your tip and now I could add the Games folder to the quick links. Unfortunately I thought it would open upp the Games folder like it looks in the Start menu. Instead Resco Eplorer opened the folder. Well well... no biggie.

Interestingly enough when I tried the same thing with another folder called "Shoutcast" on my storage card (contains pls-files to Internet Radio channels) I could add the folder to the Quicklink but I couldn't open it.

Anyway... thanks for the help :)
[HD2 General] czbird:
I don't think it's possible to force the Start menu itself to open a particular folder directly. You'll have to stick with the default file-explorer you have associated with the folders, in your case that would be the Resco Explorer.
[HD2 General] profahmad:
That's strange, did you create a shotcut and paste it into /Windows/Programs? I just tested it with a folder on my storage card and it works perfectly. You may have copied and pasted (and not pasted a shortcut) by accident. Try it again.

Aah you're right, Start Menu can't be forced so that's the best we can do at the moment.

My opinion

My opinion is very short, but directly: Google Wave in my opinion is the future.

The Future

I think that in the future, Google Wave will be like a email today. More, it will be the email and this is going to be more visible when the Beta period ends.

Friendly?

As the most part of the newest web applications, Google Wave have a very friendly GUI, it's very nice to attract the attentions of the users :D , take a look and think if this can't attract you to see more :D

All In One

One of the things that I've liked more in Google Wave was that it's a All-In-One suit, there you can send waves(like emails) and do like a chat with they, then in my opinion, this is very useful. Also, the embeddable of videos and this plugins is a very good idea.

Cons

The only thing that I can label as bad is the performance. It takes much time to start, organize, display your waves and contacts, also if there is a video embedded on a wave, you will see that the site will be more unstable.

Also, it isn't working on Opera(as orb3000 said).

Developer Side

I think that Google Wave was the tool that the developer like me most need, because I was testing it as a project manager, like this: I send a wave for my developoment friend that I need to add a new feature on my application, then we started to communicate by waves of the development parts(step-by-step) and about the new uploaads(Git).

At All

At all I can just say one thing for you: Use Google Wave and enjoy ;)
[Off-topic] orb3000:
Yes it can become a powerfull tool in the future.

Cons:

Not working on Opera:(
[Off-topic] nathanpc:
It isn't working on Opera?

I think is because of Chrome Frame
[Off-topic] orb3000:
What browsers and platforms are compatible with Google Wave?

Print

Google Wave works on Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms. Supported browsers include:

Google Chrome

Safari

Firefox 3.5

If you'd like to use Google Wave with Internet Explorer, you can install the Chrome Frame plug-in.

http://www.google.com/support/wave/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=162257

--------------------------

By now I´m using it on Crhome in the meanetime they got fixed for Opera, then I´ll uninstall chrome

I hate to have to use more than one browser...
[Off-topic] nathanpc:
Huh, this is very bad :(

Opera is out of the platforms.
[Off-topic] orb3000:
Just for now...:D
[Off-topic] nathanpc:
Yeah! :D

I hope...
[Off-topic] orb3000:
Me too......
[Off-topic] Jeeves:
They better fix it for Opera. I'm currently using it for work.

So when working I currently need Opera for working, FF for testing and Chrome for Wave running. May not seem like too much of an issue, but throw in DW PS and an XP VM and RAM starts to dwindle, one less browser...

[HD2 General] wizzzard:
I have just spoken with T-mobile loyalty team, I was chasing up where my Leo is. The lady stated there had been some issues with the previous batch of handsets and that further testing was being done before releasing any more devices.

1 Am I being told the truth?

2 How long does this testing take?

3 If problems are found how quickly will T-mobile be able to flash a fixed ROM to all their stock?

4 Will I get my Leo before Christmas?

I would really like to believe that T-mobile are being honest and that very soon I will have my Leo hopefully with all the issues identified on this forum fully resolved.

Am I being naive?
[HD2 General] hay00c2:
Ordered mine online on Sunday the 29th Nov and recieved it on Thursday 3rd Dec.

I do have a mate that works in T-Mobile and said that as soon as the stock is coming in they are going out just as fast and having worked for a mobile phone company in the past the staff do get told a load of rubbish at times.
[HD2 General] pricefix23:
I phoned up t-mobile UK today to order one, to be told they were out of stock. A new batch is expected Friday.
[HD2 General] terrytpot:
I've spoken to o2 at least 8 times today and in one of the calls I was told that part of their problem was having to send all the stock they had,along with returned faulty devices, back to HTC for "repair"...what's that funny smell? is it lamb,fish,bear...no its bull!
[HD2 General] wizzzard:
Mine was ordered on 30/11/09 and was told to expect a text with a delivery date within the week.

This would cost HTC a fortune. I wonder if the repairs are to flash a new ROM ?1.48+ or actual hardware repairs eg. new camera module. Are existing users going to have their handsets recalled? If a handset is "repaired" will it be classed as new or refurbed?

Nah, I smell something too.

It is probably just another example of getting a different response from which ever droid/lovely customers service rep. you speak to. Best just to keep ringing up until you get the answers you want and then believe that person.
[HD2 General] dick turpin:
i got one online from tmobile bout a week ago and mines running 1.43 and i`v had no major issues with it at all. i`v had to soft reset once due to phone hanging, but believe me its had a good seeing to, i havent put the thing down!!:D. as for the camera, mines not too bad. got the slight pinkiness problem but nothing that cant be sorted with a few tweaks in the camera settings i`v read about. i think htc mis-judged the demand for them plus some dodgey batches thrown in the mix. good luck on getting one anyway jus keep pestering them!:)
[HD2 General] wizzzard:
Just got off the phone with Hayley at T-mobile.

They are expecting 2000 HD2s today and tomorrow. I have been told there are less than 2000 people on their waiting list for HD2 so fingers crossed, touch wood and rub the lucky rabbits foot and I will have my phone within the next 2 days.
[HD2 General] ansaar99:
Ive been waiting for 2 weeks for my upgrade phone. Every time same story, more expected Friday. And when "I" asked about rumours that there had been some probs with the phones, the lady went off to check with her manager and came back and said, nope, they had only heard wonderful comments about the phone.

Still i'd rather wait for htc to fix any issues if they are doing that right now.
[HD2 General] creed:
That's interesting. I just got off the phone with Francis at Tmobile. She couldn't tell me anything, except that they'd had a consignment today. No numbers on stock or on how many are waiting for it. Nor how far down the list I was. She did agree that for some reason Tmobile had underestimated the demand for this phone.

I think it might have something to do with the iphone judging by what went on at Voda.

And I've been on the waiting list for 3 weeks and it should have been 4 but they cocked it up. I better get it before Christmas!
[HD2 General] wizzzard:
I am well and truly p*ssed off. (I hope I wont be edited by a Mod like I have been on the T-mob support forums)

Today I got to speak to Dennis who laughed at the mention of 2000 handsets arriving today. I was lied to yesterday.

No idea when more stock arriving.

No idea when I might receive mine.

No idea about customer service.

No customers if they keep this up.
[HD2 General] DavidC1980:
200 handsets arrived today and after waiting for a month with Vodafone's mis-information, I switched to T-Mobile and bagged one of those 200. It seems the only way to get an HD2 is to show no loyalty and swiwtch providers :(

I guess I got lucky as I got through to a really helpful saleswoman.
[HD2 General] stillbrad:
Just buy an unlocked one and get it right away. I did and I'm in the US. Of course I had to have it and paid $875. But it was worth every penny. I use A&tt now but thinking of going to T mobile. BUt since its unlocked i can use it forever anywhere.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mikolas:
Hi!

I've been trying to find any documentation on Snapdragon's DSP and hardware based video and audio decoders. So far, nothing. I'm just thinking if it would be possible to cook the support into custom ROM as it is quite ridiculous that decoding something like MP3 or AAC takes any CPU time at all, as according to Qualcomm's web site Snapdragon has hardware support for decoding MP3, AAC and H.264. I take it Qualcomm only provides the documentation to partners, as it is impossible to find?

Hopefully full support for hardware acceleration comes with WM7, if it can not implemented on 6.5. Should be doable with custom driver (in kernel mode) anyway by cooking, provided the documentation is leaked or something.

Mikko.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kholk:
It's not possible to have the SnapDragon documentation because Qualcomm will never release it.

It's possible instead to have the missing SnapDragon drivers for Linux or I hope for Windows CE only when a QSD based smartbook that will have these drivers will be out.

With Windows Mobile 7 it's a whole new story, new CE7 kernel and support for all the new ARM instructions. I hope that we'll get that things and soon :)

That's a waste of potential, but we can only wait (or not? :rolleyes:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fards:
you Cant really expect qualcomm to release documents on its IP.

but it would be nice if they and htc worked together to release a dev sdk.

if they are serious about developing the platform then its a step they really do need to make.

if samsung can get a sdk out for the omnia ii then it seems sensible to think htc need to play catchup.. the chipset does have potential,and it appears qualcomm are becoming more dev friendly.

look at what southend have achieved with some decent support from QC..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Ca5c4d3:
documentation?

Qualcomm should be giving documentation to ISVs its just a matter of it falling in the wrong(or right) hands. In the meantime, Snapdragon uses ARM Cortex-A9 core and you can find more details here:

http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/ARMCortex-A9_MPCore.html

Not sure if that includes DSP.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mightymn:
Snapdragon is Cortex A8 based and yes it does have DSP ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mikolas:
Do you know are the hardware multimedia decoders really silicon or SIMD/DSP based? From the QC's documentation you get the feeling they are ASIC stuff, but it might be marketing and in reality they are IP cores.

Hi Saiuz,

Did you buy your HTC Magic from them with a service plan? Did they charge you for the unlock? Looking at their webpage, they say that the charge is 50 euros before the service plan ends (2 years in my case), or 10 euros after this period.

Thanks,

I have unlocked a HTC Magic from Vodafone (din Romania ;) ) using fastgsm.com.

I am very satisfied with their services.

You need to have a paypal verified account in order to pay for the sim unlock code. After you pay you'll get the code in your website account(it takes some minutes). The price is $20.

I have googled many days for alternatives or unlock codes generators. Simply there's no other or free method available yet.
