Something I came across and wanted to see if we guys could get together, work on this and port Android to Opal. None of this is my work. No credits to me. All credit to the blog owner (Moises ??)

========================XXX======================

Android on an HTC Opal

The thing I love most about HTC phones, and non-iPhones in general, is you can do practically anything you want with it, and if you're clever, you won't even void the warranty. I had an HTC Magician a few years back and booted it up with all kinds of Linux distros, an OpenMoko distro included, and learned a lot on programming for mobile OSes in the process.

A few months ago I was able to boot into Linux and Android on my HTC Opal using Wing Linux, but the driver in the distro wasn't working with the touchscreen, and the key mappings were off. Today, reading from xda-developers that a new release of the distro, for OMAP850 devices, was available from the sourceforge page, with crossed fingers, I tried installing it again.

And what do you know? Touch screen now works! I can even call and SMS from within Android! The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth don't work, though. And the audio. But since my phone really isn't for calling, but for developing, it isn't too much of a problem.

============================XXX===============

Actually, there's already a thread about this. Although the title might make it hard to find so don't worry about.

Great post nevertheless, that blog can be handy.

By the way, here's the current thread:

Development has discontinued!

Hi girls,

I've wrote my own volume control because there were no one which had the features I needed.

You can control it with the volume keys of your device or with your finger/stylus (but it has to be opened with the volume keys first).

Supports (W)(Q)VGA (means VGA, WVGA, QVGA and WQVGA). I didn't test it on Square resolutions.

It's written in C# for .NET 3.5 so you need to have the .NET Framework 3.5 installed on your device.

The "0" in major section of the version means it is beta and could have some bugs and/or is not feature complete.

Source Code is available in VolumeKeysCS.zip.

I'm not a professional so don't be scared :)

- Speaker icon does not change

[Windows Mobile Software Development] hanackin:
this sounds really nice !!! thanks :cool:

will this work on WVGA ? :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] asusp505:
great application !

Works good on my htc touch.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ponchofiesta:
Yep, WVGA was the original resolution. Because of that I did not mention it in the changelog.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mr. Makk:
its certainly an addon in my roms as it supports wm6.5.3.

1st is dat on installation, i hav to go to volume key settings and then activate it from there. cant is be activated immediately after installation.

2nd when i changed the vol mode from on to vibrate to silent, i noticed that the tackbar icon didnt change.. is dat a bug?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jagan2:
Will definitely try if it works with wp 6.5.3 as reported above
[Windows Mobile Software Development] benko286:
Before I try it can somebody tell how it behaves in HTC Album and Windows Media Player(Portrait and landscape)?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dr3minem:
#2 definitly seems to be a bug, the icon doesnt change but the phone is really silent/on vibrate

Another thing, which isnt really a bug but i noticed that if you just slide your finger up and it goes off the volume bar, it doesnt save the volume as max, but where you started 'sliding' it. It does the same thing with sliding down.

Not sure if this is a very good explanation of the problem, hope you know what i mean.

Seriously though, this is great, nice minimalistic design, non-intrusive and blends in nicely with manila. Ill definitly be using this from now on!

Oh and maybe make it work for landscape? Not sure if you need it, just toying with ideas here.. Great work man
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mwalt2:
This is a great little program. Good job. Having more then 5 volume levels is great. The only things I see that need worked on are in-call volume adjustment (does not seem to do anything on my Diamond/6.5.3 SYS) and the aforementioned taskbar icon. I really like the UI you've used. You'd think microsoft could come up with something so simple :).

edit - also, on VGA, the vibrate button does not seem to register presses.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] agent_47:
great app for all the 6.5.3 lover :D

i can live with the taskbar icon not changing.

but there are a few other things i noticed that may need some attention!

- volumekeys not seem to work with In Call volumes.

- also when you have a incoming call, the application seem to create some problem receiving\ending call while using endkey\sendkey\onscreen slider. I tested the application on HTC phone canvas from rhodium 1.90 build (cant remember the version of the package :p)

other than these we have an excellent application :p

keep up the great work! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ponchofiesta:
Thanks for your reply. I've added your finds to the issues/todo list.

I'll have a look tomorrow.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mr. Makk:
yes i too have noticed the lag in receiving calls.

otherwise a neat effort and an app much needed for current builds.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] teorouge:
Very nice app here! Already a keeper...

Would you mind posting a EVK installation package? I'm using KitchenPackageUpdater-1.12a to import cab but I can't get the icons in Start Menu... but it works out of the box, at least! ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ponchofiesta:
What is EVK?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] teorouge:
Ervius Visual Kitchen! :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ponchofiesta:
How should such a package look? Do you have a sample?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] teorouge:
Sure, this is a regular cab installer, while here you can find the corresponding installation package. ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] shorty083:
Hi, just wanted to say thank you for this great little app.

It's been really useful. The only thing I would like to see added is

support for the standard htc youtube app. Since it doesn't seem to work well together. Volume goes from nothing to loud and back with no

small volume steps in between. Although these small steps do show in your app it doesn't effect the volume like it should.

Looking forward to future updates.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mwalt2:
You just need to edit your app.dat to get it to show up in the start menu. When I made the cab into an EXT, the .lnk shortcuts were going to /windows/start menu when they should be going to /windows/start menu/programs. That is probably why everything worked, but you were unable to see the shortcuts in the start menu. I have attached an EXT package that should work, but I have not tested it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] teorouge:
Thanks, I'm trying! ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ai6908:
Excellent app. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ezzie:
so does anyone know how to skin this? I like this better than the dumb dots, but i am also constantly changing themes, colors, taskbars and any other thing that i can possibly do to kgep my mind occupied , plus i just like frillying the diamond up has much as possible.........got to be frontin for tht girly girly girl i be.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Noonski:
On a greedy performance trip.

If this was a service it would sure beat the regular HTC Volume control.

Like the Lay out but i like it more on the right side ;).

Good job, i can see HTC steeling the idea to stop making it Full screen by default and adding the extra functions to theirs.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ponchofiesta:
Do you mean a service would be faster than a normal app?

Good point. I will make it configuable.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Noonski:
It has to do with the amount of executables that can run in Windows Mobile/CE.

By running it as a service you leave more slots open for executables.

(I believe 32 executables can be run at the same time, not sure if this changed in 6.5.x)

As the apps need to be active all the time anyway to capture the Keys.

I'm not aware if a service also has some performance and memory use profits to it.

I only know that when HTC switched their enlarged Start menu to a service it did get faster reaction and loading, but that could also be because of actual improvement in the app :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] xetro:
When InCall Volume is fixed, this will be very popular with WM6.5.x users (and COOKERS!!!)

Cant wait!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ponchofiesta:
At the moment I don't know how to change the in call volume. Yesterday I tried to get it for several hours but it didn't work. If someone knows the answer, please tell me :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Noonski:
Try contacting AC from S2U.

He uses that hook in S2U, and on good days i remember him helping out another Volume slider replacement...

Here's a guy committed to getting Stuff ported to Services.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] mwalt2:
MarcLandis was able to hook his volume control hook into in-call volume. You could ask him how he accomplished it. His thread is HERE. Looking forward to your next release.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] YYYYY:
Hi,

this application looks very interesting, keep up the good work. Unfortunately I already have an application running which hooks the keys on my XPeria, are you able to ad .lnk files for volume up and volume down, so that the key hook applikation can handle with those .lnk files instead your application? Thanks I would really love to see your application in my roms.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Noonski:
That was the name i was looking for when i said " i remember him helping out another Volume slider replacement"
[Windows Mobile Software Development] SAURON_:
Thank you a lot!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] plasmastrike:
A volume control that is finger friendly and small on the screen. They needed this, thanks:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] agent_47:
not sure of you found ur ans or what you mean, look at these reg closely

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\ShellOverrides]
"SavedInCallVolume"=dword:66666666
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall]
...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall1]
....
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall2]
...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall3]
....

there are several more but if you wish to change ur vol level i think these are enough

+ 1 on going service mode,,, lot better than exe.

cheers
[Windows Mobile Software Development] plasmastrike:
While using this in slide to play it worked over its volume control:) if it is muted i don't have to exit to turn up the volume. can you change the default volume level in windows media player and other audio/video managers?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ricarp:
Thanks Pochofiesta, great application.

Waiting for working incall volume version
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rzasharp:
+1 Same request. Furthermore, Is it possible to add a setting so that the window can appear or not when using the volume keys?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mouki_9:
looking really promising!!! Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ricarp:
Hello Pochofiesta, not working in my TD2, your exe does not change the phone profiles

I think it will be better if you only change the the screen to yours when pressing the vol up/down.

¿Is it possible?

thanks

Touch Diamond 2

[Windows Mobile Software Development] rjmjr69:
Nice work thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mwalt2:
Any updates on this? I think it has the potential to really great.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BereanPK:
I'll add my 2c to this... great app... very promising.

I have a HTC/AT&T Pure (WVGA); this app works perfectly with it, no problems as far as I can see (other than the known issues previously stated).

Keep up the good work!

test on htc diamond 1 german

hello,

i test the app version 0.3 on the htc diamond 1 ger

i have the latest windows mobile 6.5.3 28014 on it and use latest driver from fw. 2.11

i found an error.

when i try to put down the volume through the hardware-buttons, most of the time the volume down/up would not work.

sometimes it works...

error for volume down with hardware-buttons:

the display from the control will be refreshed many many times (the scrollbars for volume), but nothing happens, no volume-down to decrease the volume works.

error for volume up with hardware-buttons:

when i press volume up with hardware-buttons, only increase 3 scrollbars, not more, than the same problem, display (scrollbars) will be refreshed many many times..

now volume down with hardware buttons works, but only too with 3 scrollbars...

but touch-screen control for volume (up/down) makes no problem...

test vibration-modus: Error

- not working, the melody is ringing whe a call is incoming

test silent-modus: Error

- not working, the melody is ringing whe a call is incoming

test loudness-control with touchscrren: Error

- Decrease or Increase the scroll-bars has no effect off the loudness of the melody...

think problem is that the loudness-controll is activated (scrollbars are shown), the silent or vibrate does not increase this scroll-bars...

After Deinstallation, normal Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Loudness-Control will not be shown, i must reflash my mobile phone :-(

wait for 0.04, thanks for reading...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hamkraus:
A very nice little app. I replaced the standart WinMob volume control on my Diamond with Energyrom.

Happy New Year
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Punker:
When to wait 0.4 version?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ponchofiesta:
Sorry, I've got no answer from MarcLandis and A_C how to control in call volume. I think the next version will not have this ability.

I will finish the overlay for youtube and similar apps and than I will possibly release 0.4 (if I don't find any other things to do). It should be done in the following week.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] blowy666:
Is there a way to set this nice app to two volume bars (Ringtoe and System volume)?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ponchofiesta:
No........
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zeriuss:
a problem with blocktelefon!

Hi! another problem - when i block my telefon, volumcontrol works!!!and volumkeys are working!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ponchofiesta:
What do you mean with "block my telefon"?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] NRGZ28:
What he means is when the phone is locked, the volume keys still work :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ladieslova:
Works well...

Good work. One smaller issue... In the start menu, after the installation, there VK and VK settings options. Those two icons are just a white square, more precisely, it seems like you've never made an icon look for this little app.

Is this an known bug, or not?

Great work again

Best regards
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ponchofiesta:
It's not a bug. It has the default icon. My Photoshop skills are very limited so I've not made an icon.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ladieslova:
I'm very good with Photoshop, so if you need any help with making an icon, feel free to ask.

Another suggestion for the v0.4 is that you can make "vibrate" and "silent" buttons colorful...

Best regards
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ponchofiesta:
The program has HTC style, so it has no colors (and I like it).

If you want to create a icon you can do it. But I give no warranty that I will use it if I don't like it :P
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zer0es:
Im using HTC Diamond with WM 6.5.3

I cant seem to launch the VolumeKeys from the taskbar, only from the side volume button.

Is there anyway i can attach it manually to the volume button in taskbar?

This look wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better than default wm volume control:D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ponchofiesta:
-- Updated to version 0.4 --
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cissmayazz:
Thx! I'm testing it right now.

Edit: -The VolumeKeys 0.4 don't fit on qvga, it is too long, there is even a little scrollbar next to it. (in 6.5.x)

-When, the phone is in silent or vibrate mode, the hardkeys don't have any effect on the volume, it stays in the chosen mode but you see the volume in the bar going

up and down for just 3 or 4 steps.

-The taskbaricons still don't change, only a soft reset fixes the issue.

I'm sure this app has a bright future!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] NikD1:
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!! ive been waitig for this app for soo long! the windows mobile volume controle is rubbish and the htc one realy didnt have enough steps. this one is perfect :D

looking forward to updates, well done!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mikenif:
This app is heavensend since the htc volume control wont work on 6.5.3 with the blackstone and the X1.

Too bad it doesnt support the overlay in youtube etc

I will definitely keep an eye on this one. if it grows to what we need i wil surely make an donation
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Lycox:
Pretty cool app. One thing I've noticed, when setting the volume via keys, the volume bar flickers a bit.

Maybe an idea for future releases:

Make the bar semi-transparent ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cissmayazz:
Yeah, 0.4.1 works better with qvga.

How is the progress on the taskbaricons going? And maybe an idea for next build: if you change the volume up in vibrate mode, the volume goes on. If you lower the volume it goes to silent mode? Like in the original volume control
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 4D3:
yes it does!! i am using it right now!! want a screenshot?

MG
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mikenif:
AFAIK htcvolume+6.5.3 doesnt work with the Blackstone and X1 oemdrivers
[Windows Mobile Software Development] arifqur:
Still testing, but in the meantime great job and idea. If it works well then it is definitely better than HTC volume control since it is very non-obtrusive and does not cover the whole screen.

Also the overlay feature seems like a very useable feature

working really good now, well done!

it does say "activefails" on boot though, also it gives an "keyboardhook fail error... seems to work fine though.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Calleh:
Really awesome =) I like it ^^ Hope you fix those bugs soon ^^ I also have two questions;

The first: Does it change the volume exactly in 16 steps, or just increasing the volume after 3-4 steps?

Second: Is it possible to make it work when you have locked your device?

Quite annoying when you're listening to music and let the phone autolock,

then later on wanna regulate the volume and instead of VK it shows the original(the sucky one).

I really wanna use this app, but I also wanna change the volume in locked mode.

Maybe another app already does this function that I can use meanwhile? ^^
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cyanide911:
@OP: Great program, but I have a sort of an off topic question. Which shell and theme are you using in the first screenshot? It looks pretty good.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Qui-Gon Ginn:
Hi

Very very nice job, it's the first fix on wm 6.5 that supplant native volume control :D

Can you tell me where can i find it ?

Thx

good prog, but i saw one bug.

When i received call, i push pick up button, VK flash for one second, after pick up line my device.

soo, when i accepted call with button, after one second hear my caller.

sorry my english
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ponchofiesta:
This is not really a bug of this program. When I wrote this app, I noticed that sometimes there are keypresses where I didn't pressed them. If you press the key to awnser a call it sends one VolKeyUp. The Back button has the same behaviour but there I added a workaround. I think this is a HTC thing because in a clean WM emulator this doesn't happen.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Wajk:
ok, but with HTC(or Windows) volume control not wait for one sec :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] murks_muell:
On my custom ROM (Anja's "Back to the root") volume keys doesn't work anymore. I don't know why but it seems the standard volume screen has got a higher priority. Volume keys gets displayed but a tenth of a second later the stanard popup volume appears and changes the volume again (and coarser of course).

Is this a known problem with other ROMs as well?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] NateReal:
im on the htc vogue.

when you install it, and you slide the volume keys up and down, does it use this app instead of the default windows? or do i have to actually go to my start menu, activate it?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cissmayazz:
It uses the app instead of the default one.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pippozio:
Hi

this app is very nice, but is it possible to add back the mute function when you receive a call and hit the volume keys?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] inholast:
Thanks

Great app! It just do the job!

Thanks,
