Cheers matey

hope my input helps
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ingressor:
Sounds like my problem that occured once in the past,when I made "too clean ROM" ).I checked it out,on my diamond,this works well.All what I can advise 2 you now, is reflash your diamond,make HR and try this again.Report back,man.Good luck.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ingressor:
Important information.

Read first thread. I'm moving to new kitchen, and will use last SYS,like 28014,and still with original TouchFlo 1.2 !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mauk:
nice rom...tryed and was empresed ...tho i like better later manilla but one question: what application did you use to move the start button down (more finger friendly)???? keepup the good work ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ingressor:
mm..sorry,but i didn't completely understood what you mean).Here is all almot standard)Base view of 6.5.0 new-style interface,plus some additions and manila 1.2)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] UomoNero:
thx man your rom is awesome! (and i have tested at least 30 from other chef)

stable fast good looking.

i can't wait the new release.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ingressor:
ROM

For all the people who was waiting for new release. Sorry, but this thread is stopped. I don't have time to develop ROM's. Thanks 4 all. Respect, men.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] UomoNero:
thx for your work, i will miss your new release. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Badwolve1:
I'll give it a shot

Screenshots

Interesting Construction, but is there a way to add Screenshots again ... using sense2.5 right now , but slow and wm6.1 :P

How can i change the date format at the lockscreen
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nickfranky:
How can i change the date format at the lockscreen in wm6.5?? :confused:

Is it possible?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Kellicros:
Go to regional setting, date tap and change the short date format.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nickfranky:
But there is only 2 options:

yy.MM.dd

yy-MM-dd

But i want to use the long date format on the lockscreen or a

yyyy.MM.dd

format. :confused:

I think its only possible with registry tweak, but where can i find it?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TheRem:
checkout:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\nls\overrides\SSDte
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nickfranky:
...Okay... and if it doesn't exists???

Only +Add Value+...

Contents? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TheRem:
SSDte is String Value.

mine is ddd dd MMM yy

ex: Thu 10 Dec 09
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nickfranky:
Thanks Bro, it works!! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nickfranky:
One more question if you don't mind.

How can i take the unlocker icon to the down area, and the time/date in the upper area? Simple change the place of it... :confused:

Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wmserver:
You have to edit the LS_LockScene_XXXxXXX.cpr.

XXXxXXX is the resolution you're using. Mine is VGA, so LS_LockScene_480x640.cpr (Portrait mode).

It's an XML file that specify the position of each item on the lock screen and icons used.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] andreasfuntastic:
change long date format

Be carefull !!

Change hklm\nls\overrides\ssdte has bad result to htc-calendar!

If you add something in registry like "ddd, dd.MMM.yy" (ddd=weekday) then all appointments are not visible on htc-calender and on totayscreen. (allthough in ms-calandar visible).

When changing shorttdate format in settings menu all appointment entries are visible again.(this changes registry value automaticaly back to standard value)

How to change only date format in locks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] HansiHusten:
I just want to confirm the comment above. all calendar entries were somehow gone on the homescreen etc. removing the reg key brought them back.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Deceased:
I know you can buy these but with new mobiles having cameras and motion sensors, does anyone fancy writing an app to constantly record approx 2 minutes of footage and if detecting sudden motion changes, write the recording to disk.

Would ideally have it start with my satnav app.

Just an idea if anyone fancies trying it or knows if it has already been tried.

cheers,

Dead.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ephestione:
That's exactly what I am looking for, they sell on ebay minicams that do just that, record, say, 6hrs of footage in a loop, the oldest video frames being deleted when you reach the size limit of the storage card, to accomodate new footage. An HD2 would be oh so much better at that, and there would be no point in buying another specialized item when you havea device with way better video quality and potentially no storage limits.

I've been searching for something like this with no luck, someone can point us to a program which is similar to that?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] akademik_acheeba:
would you really leave your $500 phones on your dashboard ???
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ephestione:
huh.... no?

We're talking about using our 500€ phones (I WISH it was 500$...) to more extent than just as phones, to justify the expense.

There is so dam much potential in a little monster like the Leo that the only thing missing to put it on the dashboard ONLY when you're driving, to let it act as a full onboard-blackbox, a car multimedia station, a loudspeaker phone system connected with the radio... is the appropriate, optimized software. Well, mortplayer is already good enough as a multimedia station, the normal jack output is good enough to connect to the AUX in of the car radio... but what's missing is a looping video recorder, possibly connected with the internal GPS receiver, and possibily with bump detection via accelerometer like the OP proposed. As soon as I got the Leo I was wanting to find that exact software for that exact purpose, when I found this thread here.

And I am going to put the phone back in my pocket as soon as I get off the car! ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] akademik_acheeba:
oh ok because from the first post, i got the impression that he wants an app to detect and record if someone bumps into your car while its parked...the whole video recording and abnormal movement detection while driving sounds like a good idea now (i cant wait to see the high impact footage on youtube !!!) :cool:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ephestione:
...you kidding? for starters, this is something vanilla iphones can't do since they lack multitasking, but imagine a Leo with GPS plotter, video recorder (possibly with accelerometer support and looping functions to overwrite on older frames after a certain size is reached, except when you need a sequence saved, and at a vocal command, or button press, or whatever, you get to save the last X minutes of video permanently), mortplayer as multimedia station, and if you need it, tomtom/igo/whatever to guide you.

These devices are too powerful to be used just as phones.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] akademik_acheeba:
it sounds possible, build a program that has finger friendly launch buttons to start the video recording/bump app, gps, mp3 via usb aux, phone and whatever else. something like a program menu with large icons. im sure the 1GHz snapdragon can handle all the tasks at once. hmm now im thinking, this sounds like a damn good idea!!! this might require that either 1, you would have to use the poorest video recording settings to capture fast movement or 2, someone can fine tune the video recorder to something like sports video record to record fast paced movement and greatly increase the framerate. and while recording, use something like the seismoCAB(freeware) to calculate impace via the accelerometer. HERES THE SEISMOCAB, the site is french i think but you can find the link. :cool:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] akademik_acheeba:
dude i said it sounds like a good idea :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ephestione:
yes, that was a friendly and agreeing "are you kidding?" ;)

Actually, it is so much of a good idea that when I first started searching for this kind of software, I was surprised when I found nothing existed, not even in the commercial scene.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] akademik_acheeba:
oh ok lol.:) well you know theres no voice tone in the forums lol. but yeah you would think even something like a simple looping dash cam would have been out commercially.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ephestione:
And I do count on the fact that all this bumping of the thread will hint one of the enlightened ones to develop even a very simple basic ugly but functional app that does exactly that... :p
[Windows Mobile Software Development] akademik_acheeba:
is there a dash cradle out there that will unblock the lens on the hd2? or is the back smooth enough for the suction cup dash holder?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ephestione:
My windshield suction cradle tends to cover the lens, but since it has foamy interior coating and I can set its width, I just need to slide the hd2 a bit "out", rotate the cradle horizontally, and I can get a clear view of the road. I already tested a recording, there's just a corner of the suction arm that covers the view, but only very little.

Anyway, I've seen windshield holders specifically designed for HD2, glove-like fit, with camera/speakerphone hole, much like silicone cases have, you would just need to search for them on ebay
[Windows Mobile Software Development] akademik_acheeba:
oh ok thats whats up.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sschrupp:
You know I was just telling my girlfriend the other day that I wish I had a way to record bits of idiot drivers in front of me. That'd be kind of cool to have it voice activated so when you shout "^%*@ %!@ drivers and their ^$*@ lack of ^#*@ brains!"

Ok, maybe a shorter voice command.. hehe.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ephestione:
Vocal commands could be even better as having to hit a button in the middle of some curses may very well lead to the whole mix of cradle and hd2 fall off the windshield which would lead to even more curses... and here we're creating in our fantasies the very best blackbox software for windows mobile bundled with vocal commands compatibility hoping someone picks up the task!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] akademik_acheeba:
ok so i did a lil test today. mounted my tp2 and recorded some footage at speeds between 20-80 mph(city and highway). lets just say the video recorder sucks to be used as a dash cam. i searched for some kind of way to mod the camera and i found that there is hidden features that tmobile has turned off for some reason. it unlocked different recording modes. i will try it out soon and report back.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] akademik_acheeba:
ok so i used the app from THIS thread and it set the record frame rate a lil higher. the video recording is less blurry and more clear. :cool:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ephestione:
ah, I forgot that not everyone in this thread owns a HD2. I had to activate some reg mods as well, to activate the full recording quality, maximum is 640x480 in MPEG4 format for my device. Given the nature of the video to record tho, to prevent other people to try and scam you in incidents, probably even a blurry video is enough to prove the dynamics of the impact, no matter if the license plates are readable.

Anyhow, the builtin video recorders are not designed with this usage in mind, we would need a video recorder which can be triggered via command line. Probably a proper looping recording is not needed as well, maybe recording consecutive chunks of, say, 10mins each, with the ability to manually delete the ones that you don't need, is enough.

For instance, the camera software for the HD2 is nice when you have to record casual videos, but is totally unadequate if you need to record video on the run, it even stops recording if you switch to another app, and that's obviously a big no-no.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] akademik_acheeba:
imma try to record video while using my gps and see if it continues. the max i was able to get on recording was vga...that sucks
[HD2 General] jannen:
hi. thinking of moving from the compact iv to hd2! question: how easy is it watch movies on the go with hd2? how big sd card would it need,,, and what format is the best to convert dvd's or tv program recordings? ta!

(the screen is so huge,,, looks like next gen iphone will be copying htc!)
[HD2 General] Archer:
If you rip dvds with something like Nero, you can create DivX avi files that will play a treat in core player.

The native Windows WMP format plays perfectly in media player too.

The native HTC player format is mp4, and to be honest, that looks the best to me, but DivX in core player is about 99% as good.

Whenever I have something to watch, it's usually a DivX file, so I just copy it to the phone and watch it as is, without conversion (about 350MB per hour). I have a 16GB card with about 6GB of music, 2GB of installers and installed apps, and therefore 8GB free to put vids on (at the moment).

I should be able to get about 10 films on there, or 20 typical episodes of TV programs, at the above-stated average size.

A few people have had problems with core player, but there's plenty of settings that you can change. I've got it set to play nicely now, and there's very rarely any lag (toggling fullscreen off and then back on gets rid of that for me), and it looks gorgeous on the massive bright screen.
[HD2 General] robje_2004:
I am using HTC Touch HD video converter (use search in the forums for download ). It works fine to convert for example divx movies.
[HD2 General] richardirv:
I find this to be putting the audio out of sync very slightly when converting xvids etc.
[HD2 General] iouk:
Yes me too. I converted several TV shows and the audio remained out of sync by about 0.25 seconds for the duration.
[HD2 General] Archer:
If you can get Core Player or TCPMP (core player beta) working well (which just takes some settings fondling), then you don't need to convert things. AVIs and MPEGs play perfectly for me.
[HD2 General] richardirv:
I know what you mean but I kinda like using the HTC Player, it just feels like a better experience.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yeah, I know what you mean too! In fairness, the hi-def movie test thread with the helicopters movie on it looks sooooooooo much sharper and cleaner in the HTC player than it does in CorePlayer.

I'm just impatient. I just "rip" a movie or tv show and watch it straight off. I find converters to usually take as long as it takes to watch it.
[HD2 General] richardirv:
Hehe, When I get time I am going to dowload a variety of converters and try to find one I like and one that works well. Ideally the one that was made for the HD would be perfect if the audio sync was fixed. I must admit though I havn't had chance to actively look for any solutions to that problem yet. :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] richardirv:
One thing I would like from the HTC Player would be a resume option.
[HD2 General] raphy82:
Settings in Core Player

Everyone is talking about these Settings in Core Player:

I have searched the web and couldn´t find any good settings.

Can someone please share the settings for Core Player here ?

Thanks in advanvce.
[HD2 General] Archer:
In CorePlayer, go to Menu, Tools, Settings, Select Page, Video and set output to Raw FrameBuffer or GDI, and make sure quality is High. I also set Smooth Zoom on (not sure what it is though), and turn Dither off (I've had it hang on me when this was on).

I have mine on Raw, and it plays movies that are SD (telly size) perfectly. I can watch them on my TV via my PC, or just copy the AVI onto my memory card and watch them on the phone.
[HD2 General] raphy82:
Thank You , I´ll try the new settings when i get home. :)
[HD2 General] jannen:
Thanks

Thanks for all the posts... damn this forum is so good!!! :)

Just one thing... is there a way to watch videos in landscape on Coreplayer? The version I have doesnt have that option...
[HD2 General] Archer:
What version are you using? That's been in every version of coreplayer I've had.

I've just done a hard reset on my phone, and haven't installed coreplayer yet, so I can't tell you how to do it exactly, but the it's in menu under options and I believe it's orientation. Also, when a movie is playing it, touching it usually makes it landscape and fullscreen too.
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
Excellent, using GDI seems to have sorted out my frame flicker during fast moving sequences. Thanks!
[HD2 General] RichardC:
At night the backlight too bright when set to Automatic - it won't go below 30% even when it is totally dark. It seems like this threshold can't be changed. As a workaround, does anyone know if there is a way to make a shortcut to the Backlight settings screen that can be used in Quicklinks, so at least it can be quickly set manually.
[HD2 General] fards:
try lumos. it works on the hd2
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xdawiz:
I am having a XDA Wizard.

Recently the audio seems to be distorted.I have tried Hard resetting the device.It didnt help.

Would it be a physical damage of the speakers ??

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MikeChannon:
Sounds like a hardware issue. Could be the speaker going bad OR it might just be a poor connection (getting loose) between speaker and motherboard. This is possible to check, if you are handy at dismantling - Service Manuals are available here at XDA inthe wiki I think or go to my signature. (Not advisable if you are not technically minded or methodical though!)

Hi,

I was looking for a phone like keyboard (like this one in viewty)

to be used when writing SMSes and MMSes.

This horizontal qwerty rocks but the vertical has to small buttons for me.

Is there such a thing?

And, second question, can I edit the smileys? It's great that they are built in, and change to little pictures, but would be also great to be able to change

; - )

to

; )

as it means the same, and takes less space...

Any ideas? :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ChasDun:
I am an AT&T employee but don't quite understand the whole activation and SIM scenario. Here is my situation.

I have a company provided phone and data plan. I want to get the Tilt 2 but the company won't spring for it. I am eligible for an upgrade through my personal account, but then I have to sign a new 2 year contract and it makes me select a data plan. Well, I don't currently have a data plan on my personal account and I don't want one (because I use my company phone exclusively). So I realize that I need to simply buy a phone outside of the AT&T retail loop. And I want it to be AT&T branded because I definitely want it to be compatible with the ATT 3G network.

My question is, is there any difference between buying a used or new AT&T branded Tilt 2 off eBay or similar place in regards to it working with my company provided SIM? Meaning, does a new phone require some kind of activation or can I just slip my SIM card in and go? If I get a used Tilt 2 is there a possible issue with the phone being registered to someone else and not working with my SIM? I am trying to avoid dealing with the AT&T CSR's because I am afraid that they will somehow screw up my company account just because I bought the phone myself. And lastly, since I know I will be using it with the ATT network, is there any advantage to getting an unlocked version? Thanks for your time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
You *could* buy it straight-out from a store, if they give you any crap about it tell them it's a gift and you will do the activation when the person receives it. You'll be paying $500ish this way, however. But they won't touch your data service. In the long run, it's cheaper this way. For me it would have cost $15 extra month to upgrade to the Tilt 2 so I figure the $360 over the 2 year contract and forevermore it was worth paying more for the phone up-front.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ChasDun:
Thanks Kha for the response. What is the advantage to getting it at the ATT store vs ebay or somewhere similar? New ATT TP2s seem to be going for around $400 on ebay from reputable dealers and slightly used ones for around $350. Either way, can I drop my SIM card in without having to do anything else?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dramacydle:
If you buy a Tilt 2 from AT&T, you get the benefit of the 1-year warranty and the piece of mind of knowing that it's un-soiled. If you purchase from eBay or some other used device avenue, you could get it from a decent discount, compared to the store purchase, but the device won't have the warranty (unless it's from a eBay store seller who offers a non-AT&T warranty) or it could be stolen and there might be a flag on the IMEI number. This is probably not the case if you buy from a seller with excellent feedback. If you purchase from eBay, you might want to consider the OEM branded HTC Touch Pro2. It has the front-facing camera, it's unlocked and won't be tracked by AT&T, a lot of people prefer the OEM housing to the Tilt 2's, I think the tolerances on the battery cover are tighter so the device is slightly slimmer, and it looks different than all the other TP2's you'll see around the US.

And about your SIM question, yes you should be able to insert your SIM and start using your phone. If you don't get a Tilt 2, you might have to configure the connection settings for the AT&T network first.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
The only problem with buying the European/International unlocked version is that there will be no AT&T 3G support. That was the dealbreaker for me when I wanted the unlocked Rhodium.

_________________

OP: As long as the phone is sold from a reputable dealer (so it's likely not IMEI blacklisted) you should be able to pop in your SIM and be done. And most any firmware, whether cooked or stock AT&T, should be able to automatically configure all the data settings like apn, username & password, and data line type. There's no worry about the phone being registered to another person, unless it's blacklisted from the network because it was reported as stolen. A good reason to always buy from reputable people.

In my opinion, there's not a practical advantage to getting the unlocked version. The only thing I don't like about the Tilt2 versus the OEM Touch Pro2 would be the horrendous keyboard changes, but you get used to it eventually. Getting the unlocked version would cost more money, but be almost the same thing. The unlocked one also wouldn't support AT&T's 3G network, and AFAIK the front facing camera wouldn't work on AT&T's network regardless of 3G connection.

The only thing you might not like about the Tilt2 as opposed to the OEM Touch Pro2 would be the internal chipset; the Tilt2 uses the slightly weaker Qualcomm MSM7201A processor, which cannot record VGA video while the unlocked Touch Pro2 can because it uses the slightly more powerful MSM7200A. The screen on the Tilt2 is also said to be slightly less vibrant than the OEM version, but it's still a fantastic display and I didn't even notice it. If I were in your position, I would buy the Tilt2, as its benefits clearly outweigh its faults.
