WM6.5.3 has a big bottom bar. Period. Why make a bigger top bar where your thumb can't easily reach one handed. The idea is to make everything within reach of your THUMB, which is the fattest digit on your hand, thus needs a bigger area.

Stop using a WM6.5.x OS as a standard Wm6.5 device. Sure if you use your phone with your 1 hand while tapping the screen with your index finger of your other hand, then bigger buttons are a waste. But start using your phone with one hand, like we used to, and you'll appricieate the bigger buttons.

The whole new layout style is built from the ground up. Themes, Graphics, UI settings, image height, everything is revamped to allow the new style. You can't simply flip a switch and flip flop. It is what it is. If you don't like the new style, then use an build based off of the old style. It's that simple.

bottom bar is the best thing that has happened to WM
[Windows Mobile Software Development] khaytsus:
Seriously? Does it still look like this? Because this is the fugliest interface I've seen in a LONG time.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Farmer Ted:
I don't know any fix or tweak for the soft button bar, but you can tweak sizes of a lot of other features, such as the pop-up menu items which are way too big for my tastes, and the spacing in file explorer and and regedit. The main 6.5.x-specific registry keys are all in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today (menu and listview), and they are imported with the .tsk files. I've got a thread on it here.

I'll add, there are also registry keys that sound from their name that they might tweak the size of the soft key bar (like the group under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Softkeybar, lol), but I haven't played with them at all. I like the large size, even though I thought it was fugly as hell before I actually tried it out. The problem is that I think you may need to tweak other things, like the \RadioButton or \PushButton keys, so it may take some effort to shrink the thing down and to shrink the soft keys.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] astart_start:
However the release date of WM7 has been delayed. Microsoft may still find WM7 has something that should be improved.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] taoist:
Farmer Ted: tks for the advice...i'll play around with the reg and see what happens :D

i think different ppl have different ideas about a big bottom bar, which boils down to dif usage habits and handsets. that's why i think ms should give an option for 'classic' bottom bar like they do with vista/7. i prefer operating my handset with thumb only as well, but as said my diamond2 has got 4 buttons so i don't actually have to press the bottom bar buttons on screen.

astart: i find wm7 bottom bar better from the screen shots, though the battery/signal indicators are just a dumb waste of real estate...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ebsbow:
I was sceptical at first too. Didn't see the point of losing any screen space.

But I have to say that having the buttons below, although I have HW-buttons, is much easier to use. Just touch, not press.

At to that your skin of choice and you are all set

I do however find the topbar still something to work on.

Maybe an app to hide and unhide the top/bottom bars would do the trick..

If there is an need.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] petard:
The bottom bar is not wasted screen space because it grew by the same amount the top bar shrunk. It is better in every way. There was a whole lot of extra room down there (two softkeys and the SIP button) while the top was crowded.

With the new way, there bottom now has 5 buttons, everything fits just perfectly, but now the top can have both clock and battery at the same time, a bunch of status indicators, and still hold the full program name on the left. No more screen space was used, yet more was fit on and start and OK are easier to hit with your fingers now (though those buttons have been on most recent devices making them a bit redundant, though keeping them is better than not having them at all).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Livven:
Yeah, man :D!

Anyway, I don't understand why MS didn't remove the Start and close buttons altogether - after all, all (?) devices have these as hardware buttons. This way, apps would have 4 softkeys...

Hey guys,

how can I extract the .img files that come with the SDK?

Actually I want to try to port the Android 2.0.1 that comes with the emulator to my device but I don't really know how I have to do that.. But I'm very excited about it and it would be very helpful for me if somebody could write a short overview how to do that (I know that I have to care about many other things like a boot.img and so on..).

Best regards,

[Touch HD General] A|ex:
This has been puzzling me for a while now, i have tried a number of wm6.5 roms on my HD but i still cannot say if its at the point where you can use it long term. I was wondering what everyones else views were?

Yes it does work,it is usable and there is a slight memory increase. Is it the CPU or the amount of memory which slows down this os on the HD?

Has anyone been using a 6.5 rom longer than a few weeks without power cycling the phone? I cannot work out if i need to keep on power cycling it to free up resources because windows is being windows or if its the actual phyiscal phone lacking resources.

I seem to have a slight issue after 5 days of use on wm6.5 my resources stick at around 60 -70 and never fall. If i am on a wm6.1 i get 35 - 50
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pixelkid:
Greetings!

My balls finally got big enough to flash the 1.33.2010 Eng SPL onto my 1.33.0014 device, and appearantly it's working as intended. However, i don't know what i should do next (i want to end up having MyHero ROM on it)

I read somewhere that i should flash Amon_RA's recovery, so i downloaded the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img version, and tried to install.

I typed

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img

And got the answer..

sending 'recovery' <4074 KB>... OKAY
writing 'recovery' ... OKAY

So far so good, after this i tried..

fastboot boot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img

The answer was..

downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY

- Luckily enough, it entered the green/black menus of the recovery tool.

Do i have the required recovery installed now?

Should i use the "Wipe" function? (I don't know what it does)

If the recovery is installed properly, then what is the next step?

If i should flash the MyHero ROM onto it already, does anyone know where i can find a guide on how to do so?

Thank you! :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
Next step is to download the MyHero ROM to your SD card.

Then power off your phone and start it back up into recovery by using Home and Power.

Wipe data, then apply the MyHero update.zip.

(The wipe function clears out all of your user data and installed programs. It is necessary when installing a new ROM, but not always necessary when upgrading that ROM to the newest version.)

It's that easy!

*I can appreciate that you're learning here, but try not to start a new thread for every little issue you come across. I'm not trying to be rude, it's just etiquette.

Good luck and enjoy your new phone!

Dude, this is development section! Not general. Here devs posted their ROMs and utils to explore devices.

But you maked THREE single posts here. You helped this section turn into scrapyard...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
If it says "RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H" in recovery mode then you have it..if it don' t try using a terminal emulator app. Use the search to find out what to type when flashing a new recovery image.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LecterMe:
When u did "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img" u now have the recovery flashed. U dont have to load it with "fastboot boot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img"

Just turn off the phone and turn it on again while holding down the HOME button. Then it will boot into recovery.

And listen to what the other guys told u. Post in the right section :)

What do i do ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
You're stuck with the same SPL that a lot of people have. It doesn't allow remote fastboot commands.

Ty the Flashrec (Recovery Flasher) instructions here on the forum to see if that works for you. Remember to download the HTC Hero recovery.img though, it's the only one that works with the 6.35.07.29 radio on these devices.

Try these instructions:

(I know it says for Hero, but the guide works on 32A magic with 6.35.07.29 radio)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559613

Use this recovery image instead of the Modaco/Cyanogen one.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=561124

If that works, then you'll need to flash an engineering SPL.

Download it from here and save it to your SD card:

http://www.4shared.com/file/167241823/658e8174/update-hboot-1762007-signed.html

Boot into recovery by turning off your phone, then turning it on by holding Home and pressing Power. Choose the update.zip and you're good to go.

Then you can flash it back to original 32A radio and SPL using these instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544761

If the Recovery Flasher doesn't work, then you need to wait until somebody figures out how to root this SPL/ROM combination.

OK, then your ROM has the kernel security hole closed that Flashrec needs to run.

I was missing the Android Market wich didnt come with the Singapore RUU so just downloaded the the HK RUU, ran it with a gold card (dont know if thats really neccesary) and got Market.

The point being - if people are on the Singapore official update, would it be somehow possible to "patch" the HK RUU files from the temporary folders where it stores the files for the update? To say, replace the original HBOOT with an ENG HBOOT (possibly *.2007?)?

Since Singapore rom version is lower than the HK one..:

Singapore: ROM Version: 3.03.728.4(For Indonesia, Malaysia& Vietnam only)

HK-E: ROM Version: 3.03.990.6

..possibly it would skip the "wrong main version" or whatever it says during the update..?

Am I onto something here?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] themaskfly:
well first 728.4 or 990.6 is just the region code. 3.03 is the version number. and second, the right singapore rom number is 3.03.707.5 WITH market. u have downloaded a vietnam rom instead of singapore one. u can switch anyone of them without problem with goldcard since they are basically the same rom with tiny difference.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thihaz:
any asia RUU is ok

yes you are right. SG rom comes with market.

I have tried malaysia rom, vodaphone rom.

vodaphone rom is the fastest one for me but my pc didn't detect my phone if I install vodaphone hk rom. But it is faster than SG rom. :D

I have installed my SG rom on my phone several times.

no brick.

the thing is when I tried to replace any rom.zip or rom1.zip in the temp file with any other rom, somehow installation detected that i have replaced the files.

even I signed the zip. it didn't work.

even the signed the zip correctly, it will stop at hboot.

then got to install from RUU again.

HBoot seems to be so hard to crack and too strong to brick :D
