[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] arh_3000:
Hi I couldnt find a definit answer but I have a unbranded unlocked retail phone. Do I need to do a HardSPL on it as ive only ever had branded phones before which I have had to run HardSPL on it first before flashing new roms.

Im hopeing i dont have to then i can easily put on the stock rom back on incase of warrenty issues.

If someone could clear that up for me it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
Having an unbranded/unlocked phone will allow you to use any SIM card easily enough. But, if you want to flash a custom ROM on it, you will still need to install HardSPL on it.

For warranty purposes you can always reflash the stock SPL to relock it. All the information on this can be found in the HardSPL sticky here.

My phone is a cluster **** of random files. Basically a bunch of .zip files,.apk's, wallpaper jpegs, etc. I want to clean up and delete any unnecessary files. Do I need to keep the zip's from the current ROM I am running? Can I create files for music, wallpaper, .apks? If so, what do I need to title them so that the phone can properly read the parent files?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Are you talking about the /sdcard/?

No, after you flash the rom, you don't need to keep it on the /sdcard. Folders don't matter as the gallary/music will parse all all folders.

The extX parition will be created at /system/sd -> the /app/ folder after that is where the applications are stored if you have a2sd (depending on rom) you don't want to delete those.

Ericsson™ Labs has just released their Mobile Java Push API for Android™.

In Android™ 1.6 the intent android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED is no longer an unordered broadcast thus allowing an application to stop an sms from reaching the inbox allowing push notification to be non intrusive to the user.

At the moment push sessions can only be initiated manually from their web-interface. A XML-RPC api will be released later for automated sending.

okay, so im new and i was just wondering

has anybody anywhere found a succesful gba emulator for samsung omnia?

the best one ive found so far is morphgear, but i dont really fancy paying for it, ive found quite a few free ones the best one i have is pocket GBA, which i highly reccomend to someone who has a phone with a touchscreen and wants a good emulator, the only problem is the omnia has one main button and allows me to only set one of the d-pad directions to my main button the 'A' 'B' 'L' + 'R' buttons can be touched but the d-pad has to be assigned to buttons

so does anybody know and emulator with an onscreen gamepad that is free:D

cheers.

on a miles completley different note; im on an acer laptop and often when i am writing it has a tendancy to skip back into the middle of my sentence, does anybody else have this problem?:confused:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] puremind:
Why doesn't "create contact" allow to create a Windows Live contact anymore? It used to be the case on the Blackstone ROM's but on the HD2 this functionality is broken.

Which part of the ROM is responsible for this behaviour and is there a CAB fix (perhaps an update for the HTC Contacts application) that allows to enable this option again?

Without this functionality to enter contacts indifferently in MSN Live messenger and on the phone, HTC phones lose both Android Phone and the iPhone, where the main advantage is the synchronizing of contacts between Messenger software and the phone!

We need this feature back, as this is a major feature that has disappeared!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] puremind:
over 60 reads and no answer?

Am I the only one using MSN Messenger for chats, cam and saving new chat partners to my phone and adding new MSN contactd through my phone so i don't have to do this work twice?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] puremind:
I have found a solution.

I can use the Windows Contacts application instead of HTC people in order to create a new contact. Not perfect but works.

Hi all,

I'm trying to develop a program (VB and C.F.)for htc blackstone that would capture an image from his builted camera. The command for capturing image must be done programmatically and not manually. I want also obtain to set others capturing parameters (i.e. image size etc.) also programmatically.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

I am a little discouraged because it seems that this is not easyly possible (for Htc devices) because need specific Htc drivers and dll's (and is not available any documentation).

Is it true?

Thanks.

I'm using kwbr's [ROM][WWE][Nov.24] Vanilla Series Rhodium [5.2.21876][1.56.405] with some appearance customization as you can see from the images below.

Problem is, when I try to deploy DJCedric DesiBlue Tab Icons they appear really big, like each icon is 400% the size it should be. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Before DesiBlue installation

After DesiBlue installation
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MAMeingast:
Not sure, but it seems the DesiBlue Tab Icons were made for 2.1 Sense (with weather on homescreen) and not for the older 2.1!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Jamie-:
Thanks, this is the weather version btw I just haven't activated it by selected a location yet.

It seems that maybe the icons in the rom i'm using are from Sense 2.5, even though it is a Manila 2.1 98% stock rom!?

Could the slider editor in HDWALL, or CFC editor be used to change them I wonder...

Edit: Weather now activated
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MAMeingast:
Then it might be the other way around: The icons are for 2.1 without weather... Usually this kind of thing happens when the components in question don't fit the Manila version being run! :(

I'd like to send an SMS to the caller, when I manually reject an incoming call.

Something like the SMS reply function of Call Firewall application, but just for manual rejects, not for blacklisted callers...

It's an application I saw on Rim Blackberry phone of a friend of mine. When someone calls and he's in a meeting (but for some reason he has the phone on), he just push the red button. The caller receives an SMS like "Sorry, I'm busy, I'll call you later", and the reminder of the call-back goes in the to-do list.

It's something very useful, I wonder I didn't find any WM software able to do this 'simple' matter...

Thanks for any help

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] drokkon:
Some dialers on custom ROMs have that built-in (it's one of the softkeys, however, not the red ignore button). I'd look around at some dialers that you could flash to your phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
most of htc's newer dialers on newer devices provide the option to "reject with an SMS" in addition to the usual "answer" and "ignore" functionalities.

i believe the dialer from the htc opal was one of the first dialers to offer the feature.

fortunately, in the world of winmo devices, the great people here at xda frequently and successfully provide "rips" of such applications that work just fine on any other device...like the previous post mentions, quite a few custom ROMs include dialers ripped from other devices. so you can add on the desired dialer or look for a ROM with the dialer of your choice built in, so search away!

As per their web site, this tool replyes to every incoming call with an SMS, when enabled, and this is a standard feature of callfirewall.

Much more, I'd like to find the task "call back Mr. Jones" in my calendar...

I'm going to look into some dialer plugin...

Try "QSMS To Buddy:FullFeatured" free app from android market

Use "QSMS to buddy" App from android market.

- This app allows you to send sms to missed/rejected calls.

- It also allows you to send a 'default' sms after user specified time period. e.g. you can specify to send a msg after 10 secs

- *** You send sms during "Outgoing" call reject as well

- *** You have ability to messages while sending the reject sms depending on the context. e.g. "I will call back in 10 mins" instead of "I will call back later"

There are other interesting features as well in this app. Watch demo at youtube with key word "QSMS : Quick SMS To Buddy Android App by Onion Systems"

Reject++

If you are looking for an app to let you reject incoming calls with predefined or custom SMS and setup a reminder to return a call as well..

so check Reject++

You can:

- Reject a call with SMS, Reminder, Or Both.

- Convenient Slider on top of incoming call screen, slider it up and go with Reject++

- Smart SMS Templates with "Tags"

- Smart Reminders Scheduling Engine.

- Works with mobile screen locked or OFF

- Notifications works no matter if the app is active or not.

Check much more Features & Screenshots for Reject++
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Andehh:
I know theres a feature which uses the second mic to check the background noise and cancel it out of the call but its been driving me mad recently. Everyone complains about me sounding very quiet and muffled.

I know the phone has various features which could be doing this but i cant pin point which one it is and how to turn it off.

I don't spose anyone could shed some light on it could they?

cheers guys
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nayr1482:
check if you have "Auto Volume Control" in All Settings on the System Tab Enabled - if so Disable it

also check the Hearing Aid Compliance in All Settings on the Personal Tab

Probably the biggest thing to check is:

go into PHONE > MENU > Options...

Go to the Advanced tab (all the way to the right on my phone)

There is a drop down box labeled: Reduce noise in phone calls

set that to never

Cheers

thanks for the response mate, that does sound like the option im after! The only problem is im using Valkyrie_v4.0 FireStorm ROM and i think a few of the settings have been re-arranged.

Hi There.

I have a problem with HTC Album, everytime I press the ALBUM command to change the album witch I want to see, the system starts to list foldres and then the white screen with ERROR REPORT appears, and I can't change the album.

Somebody here have a issue like this? (Sorry everyone my english sucks)

I search for a CAB or a registry correction to HTC Album, but I didn't find it.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] stgyro:
Have you tried hard reset?
[HD2 General] emotsuka:
I tried hard reset twice.

The last one I deleted all folders with photos from my sd card before perform Hard reset, and then I tried to use HTC album. The issue continues.
[HD2 General] emotsuka:
Solution

The HTC Album finally works!

The solution? I removed IGO8 folder from my SD card.

But, I couldn't understand why a GPS software crash the HTC album.

I like IGO very much, but it's really incompatible with HD2.
[HD2 General] tnyynt:
iGO has nothing to do with it.
[HD2 General] emotsuka:
If IGO8 hasn't influence with it, why after I removed IGO folder from SD card de htc album returned to work?

You just said a simple phrase but didn't explain a thing. Try to be a little bit useful.
[HD2 General] davi_ssilva:
I have the same behavior since I've installed Igo 8.3.4 . When I open Htc Album it starts to look for every image file I have in my storage card and when it gets to the Igo8 folder, the album just closes whitout any warning. I'm using Dutty Leo HolyGrail R0 rom, but I don't think that it's a rom problem, since it started right after I installed Igo 8.3.4

Maybe if there's a way to order Htc album not to look into Igo8 folder this problem would be solved... Is there any way to do such thing?

Edit: As a matter of fact I've checked and the problem is not with HTC Album, it is with WM album... So if there's any way to make the windows album skip or just not read the Igo8 folder, I assume it would solve my problem.
[HD2 General] dgtel2:
HTC Album is horrible. It will auto-search all possible images and videos in the device. Use other image/video manager tools.
[HD2 General] davi_ssilva:
hum... all right but suppose I do like the album the way it is, so still I need to find a way to tell windows album searcher to ignore Igo8 folder... Any help with that?
[HD2 General] lorin.bute:
Go into registry and make the htc album ignore the iGO folder and the problem is solved.

64. Disable Unwanted Folders From Showing in HTC Album

Don't you find it annoying that HTC Album Shows lots of images you don't need to see when you select Albums like GPS poi icons? Now you can tell HTC Album to ignore certain folders.

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/HTCAlbum/Ignored and add a NEW STRING VALUE

Eg if there is iGO8 in the root of the Storage Card you would create a NEW STRING VALUE with Value name iGO8 and Value Data \Storage Card\iGO8

This will include all subfolders inside the iGO8 folder. Save and reset.

[HD2 General] davi_ssilva:
Oh, sorry about that!!! I swear I used the search tool but I think I was just too sleepy to really find it at 3:00 AM...

Well, I'm going to try it and I'll tell you here if it works for me, but I have one doubt: How do I insert the inverted slash (\) with the htc keypad? It seems to have only the regular slash (/). Does it make a difference?

And thanks very much for your help!!!
[HD2 General] Archer:
/ is on page 2 of the numbers and symbols keyboard.
[HD2 General] davi_ssilva:
Yes, I noted that / is there. I meant how can I insert \. You see, is the same slash, but backwards. I'm just asking because I don't know if the registry "sees" a difference between:

\Storage Card\iGO8

and

/Storage Card/iGO8

Got it? I mean: If i type like the last example I gave to you, the registry will "understand" it right? Or will it only work if I type with the \, like in the first example?
[HD2 General] lorin.bute:
On the second page of the symbols is the \.

When you press the symbol button there's a 1/2 on the left. Press it.
[HD2 General] Archer:
It's not the registry that uses these values. Think of the registry as a database - nothing more.

Anyway, I did mean \, not /. It's on page 2 of the numbers and symbols keyboard ("12#", "1/2").
[HD2 General] davi_ssilva:
Oh, thank you both for your lightining fast answers!!!! I gess you all realized I'm a noobie here, hehe... And I'm now glad to say that my problem is gone and the album works like it should now!!!

[Shift General] Flanimal:
I second this request to disable the g-sensor. Mine is far too sensitive, and often locks up my Shift hard drive when I simply move too fast. It can not be good for the integrity of my system files.

EDIT: Apparently, the g-sensor is an STMicroelectronics i2c-gsensor LIS3LV02DL 3-axis inertial accelerometer.

I am hoping that I can some entry to disable for it under control panel hardware/system settings...
[Shift General] Cero92:
How does the Shift use this sensor?

Is it connected with Vista or SnapVue?
[Shift General] Flanimal:
It's connected to the Vista/windows side.

The Linux gurus have worked out how to fully utilise the g-sensor for the HTC Shift. But I have not seen anyone access it using Windows.

The default factory behaviour is that a detected G threshold will park the hard drive head effectively hanging the machine, forcing you to power it off to be usable again.

I don't use Linux, instead I have windows 7 on my Shift. I tried looking through the system hardware to see if there is anything that I can disable/uninstall to disable the g-sensor, but I didn't see anything that was obviously named.

Maybe it is something to do with the BIOS.
[Shift General] PlayStation:
I was just wondering whether it is possible to use the Shift in a car cradle on a rough road given the g-sensor behaviour stated above. I was hoping to soon get a Windows 8 Tab when they become available possibly towards the end of the year and then retire my Shift to be the CarPC. I havent done much driving with the Shift on so would be interested in knowing how it behaves in the circumstances. The roads in my part of the world are rough, full of potholes or non-existent thus my huge interest in this subject..... ;)

Some of you might already know this, but there is an app called "Transcriber" in the Windows folder that enables handwriting recognition.

[G1 General] lwy72243:
The reason for this is, i heard you have to have the G1 plan. However, tmobile doesn't recognize an iphone, why not another smart phone not branded by them?

If its branded by rogers, then it is not branded by tmobile, and thus it is NOT a "G1".

[G1 General] d00m:
Here's sort of a question I've been having for some time (sorry if its a thread hijack). How does the carrier know what phone you're using? Does it read it through sms messages? This would explain the reason for the phone changer in the custom sms app.
