I'm a big fan of eBooks and have bought many books from Fictionwise. Generally I buy them in the eReader format and so I'm limited to using that reader.

The main downside of the application is the lack of a fullscreen mode. Since they seem to have stopped active development on the tool I thought that the next best thing would be some way of hiding or dimming the WM6 elements while I'm reading.

I can assign a hardware button to run the tool and then run it again when I want the elements back. An alternative might be that they're automatically hidden when eReader has focus.

So my questions are: does a tool already exist for hiding/dimming the taskbar and toolbar? If not, is it something that can be done with Mortscript? If not, is there anyone out there that wants to quote me a price for making something to solve this minor headache?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dipperson:
Extend screen height

I want to know the same.

Ain't it possible to remove these bars, rotate screen, play movie? That would be realy cool.

Btw, can somebody tell me how to remove the bar that sits above the bottom toolbar? It now shows me an icon of CERD.EXE (remote control for Windows CE Version 2.03) constantly when i use this program.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] melvynadam:
Dipperson, you seem to be asking two entirely unrelated questions:

1. Can a movie be played in full screen?

Answer: Yes, nearly every video playing app for Windows Mobile supports such a feature.

2. How do I remove the small system tray bar at the bottom of the Today Screen? Answer: This is a common request and there are a few solutions available via a quick Google search.

My question relates to the tweaking of Windows Mobile during the running of an app in order to hide these elements when the app itself does not have a "full screen" function.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Diamantes:
Hello. to everybody.

I am trying to fix the reappearing HTC Icons from Start Menu with the tweaks advised in some threads but they don't work.

Even if I change the HKCU Dword string to 0 (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\IsShortcutEnable), they again reappear but without the icon (only a sad and ugly grey icon).... :(:(

Does anybody know something more to fix this annoying issue?

Thx in advance. :o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
After doing that, you need to actually delete the shortcuts yourself.

Open file explorer and navigate to Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

Locate the shortcuts (you'll recognise them from the default icon that you've already seen) and delete them.

The registry change you described simply stops the shortcuts from being recreated when you restart the device.

Or if none of the above don't work for some reason the you need to make the shortcuts hidden in file properties using a good file explorer, after doing the reg tweaks also.

Hi all,

I want to use the footprints tool but unfortunaley I have an issue to take the photo.

If I want to take a "normal" photo I have to touch the display (this little icon that appears on the display). But I don't have this option, if I want to take a photo with the footprint tools.

How do I take photos there? Can I change the settings somewhere so that I can take a photo by pressing a key?

Thank you for your help!

[Touch2 Themes and Apps] LiveItUp:
Hi, i have the same problem like above. I have installed footprint to my touch2. Unfortunately, touch2 does not has its own shutter button. It depends on onscreen shutter button. footprint does not have onscreen shutter button. Can any suggest on how to take photograph. can the shutter button assigned to any keys like - long press call button? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Uppy:
Where did you download Footprints?
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] zogzerg:
answer

to take a photo with footprint you have to press return.....

on the mega I've found two ways:

1st one, free, is VolDpad (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=552947)

2nd one,not free, AE Button Plus (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php), remap Volume up or down Long press to return....

I've found that VolDpad is far more stable than ABEP, but less configurable...

Have fun.

Zog.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] LiveItUp:
Hi Uppy. The footprints can be downloaded from here. xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4652165&postcount=1

Thanks Zogzerg, but voldpad is to remap volume keys to Dpad. I want to remap the shutter key. The remapping can be to either a physical button or on screen at the bottom taskbar. I just want a shutter key to take picture... can be anywhere. (footprint lacks onscreen shutter key)

[Touch2 Themes and Apps] LiveItUp:
Hi Frank Caarls. Thanks for the reply. However there is no workaround for this problem in that thread. I have checked many threads but nothing seems fruitful so far. Hi deepakmk, u may need to enable it through homesettings.xml.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] deepakmk:

Sorry kinda noob at this ><
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] zogzerg:
read my post !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The shutter key for footprint is

return

!!!!!!!!
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] LiveItUp:
Zogzerg, the RETURN key DOES NOT work. It exits the application and nothing happens.

Can u tell exactly what changes u did? Enlighten me..

what programme was assigned to the return key? (start>settings>personal>Buttons)
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] zogzerg:
not OK, return.

short example with AE button plus,

for volume up key (hard), assign

1 click:volume up

Long click:RETURN key (soft) AND NOT "OK" button or it will close the app ;)

and for Volume down key (hard), assign

1 click:volume down

Long click:taskmanager

that's my setting, it work well with footprint......(to take a picture i longpress volume up)

btw, aebp is a little buggy with the (hard) back button (<--), so don't try to remap it.

with voldpad, first install it, then run footprint, add (+), then to take the picture :

double click volume down WITH hold

that's it: click and cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick......

[Touch2 Themes and Apps] bowker1:
in my version of a AEB the button should be long press

ENTER

there is no return option
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] zvoner5:
I also installed footprints on my mega. Also, ae button plus. I cannot find the return option you talk about as an action to long press volume up. Got any more hints about what we should do? I tried other actions available there as well. None of them seemed to trigger a new footprint photo :confused:
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] bowker1:
you have to choose long press =

ENTER

then save and exit

when you launch footprints press and hold volume up when you release photo will be taken

can you tell me when you installed footprints does your home weather still update??
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] zvoner5:
I tried with enter too and still doesn't work. When I release after long press volume up, it just shows the volume program. As for my home weather, it still updates, but just once. After that, it crashes TouchFlo and I'm just stuck with the "tap here to launch touchflo" message. I think I'm going to uninstall this because of this home weather inconvenience and my not being able to trigger new footprints :(
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] bowker1:
what version of aeb are you using if its the demo version it will not change anything you need full version it will work with ENTER got mine working fine

maybe try to set another button for someting else to check it is setting the buttons

p.s. there is a fix for home weather you have to link it with your wether tab i think its better this way anyway search and you will find many threads on home wether fix
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] egolivar:

I've found that the HTC Sense player won't read asx files properly unless the tags in them are CAPITALISED - another thing to check is the path in the asx file - does it match up to the location of your tracks?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] MoreFett:
Hello,

i bought a new o2 XDA Diamond a few days ago and right after charging the battery i downloaded an actual original ROM from o2-Website an flashed the device.

My first Problem is, that PIM-changes on my XDA are not recognized directly by ActiveSync on my Computer exept „Memos“. When i add a new Appointment or a new Contact on my XDA, nothing happens on ActiveSync. But when i add a new Memo on my XDA, ActiveSync starts working directly an synchronizes all: Appointments, Contacts and Memos. Changes on the Computer, whatever, are transmitted directly! Starting Sync manually both on my XDA and on ActiveSync works fine! In the Active Sync Options Menü there is a Settings-Command. In the Settings-Window there is only my PC listet. As far as i can remember there should be my mobile device too, right?

When i re-setup the partnership without any checkmarks and check the checkmarks on „Memos“ after the first sync, ActiveSync asks me what to do: Combining Elements, Replace on Computer or Replace on Mobile Device. This Dialog appears NOT when i check the checkmarks of Contacts and Appointments!

I tried unsuccessfully several hard resets...tried different USB-Jacks, Self-Powered USB-Hub, disabling Windows Firewall, deinstalling Antivirus(Avast)…On my Laptop(XP) with a fresh Outlook-Database: the same behavior. 3 full days of frustrating attemps so far!

My second problem ist a serial port issue with Bluetooth. I have another phone that is connecting fine via Bluetooth, 2 serial ports(1 incoming/1 outgoing) are installed automatically when pairing the device the first time and i can sync with outlook without problems via bluetooth. The XDA is only installing a „Bluetooth Peripheral Device“ and a „Standardmodem über Bluetooth Verbindung“ when pairing the first time. So i have no virtual serial ports available and the XDA does not list any Bluetooth profiles when i try to fetch the available profiles from the paired device. I cannot connect to ActiveSync via Bluetooth(XDA says that it cannot found an existing Bluetooth-Partnership with an ActiveSync-supporting Computer and asks me for setting up a partnership, but there IS a partnership between XDA and Computer!) and tried 2 different Bluetooth-Sticks so far , but both work with MS Bluetooth-Stack. The newer one is a Logilink BT007 which works fine with my old mobile phone.

Thanks in advance,

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] guigui42:
Hi,

I would like to customize a ROM for myself but i would need your advice...

Is it possible to use a ROM (Lets say NRG ROM 2.5), and to customize it (reg tweaks, MMS config, Exchange Server config with password set by default, install some cab and put the registration keys by default....) ?

If this is possible, is it hard to update it ? for exemple if NRG updates his ROM, i also want to be up to date with mine, is it easy to "synchronize", or reapply all previous actions without too much hassle ?

Do you have any links i should read to start a Kitchen ?

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mad_tunes:
It might be worth having a search around for SASHIMI. It'll let you collect .cabs and .reg files etc and automate running then after youve flashed a new ROM.

if you figure out how your reg details are kept for each piece of software (in the registry or a file etc.), you can get it to reinstate them after flashing too.

You could DL the latest verion of a ROM, pull it apart and change whatever you like and then flash it to your phone but it'd be a pain for pain version.

Using sashimi, its also easy to update your setup when indiviudual apps and settings change, without needing to reflash your phone and then re-sync etc.

The way I see it, sashimi only really needs setting up the once and then given a tweak when something changes rather than needing to be re-done as with a ROM...the only down-side I can really find is it needs running after a hard-reset, whereas if you cook the changes in they wouldnt (so its no good for 'find or nuke my stolen phone' type apps).

I believe a lot of cooked ROMs include 'User Customization' (UC) which does a similar thing, but i havent used it myself.

Also, I may be wrong, but i think you could need certain details from the original chef before you can pull apart a cooked ROM too (i remember reading about file somewhere in your kitchen, memory fails me though)-and, of course, the chefs permission ;)

Let us know what you try out.

[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Realize, karan_adhikari, that the Chefs who cook up these roms are doing this in their free time. Occasionally they will release some news about progress (if any), but don't always expect constant news. It is a possibility they may want to keep something in private beta, or alpha for that matter.

Ookba and LoveBabyJing are two amazing chefs, and their latest ROMs should definitely suffice, as the ROMs brought to us by these two master chefs make the Excalibur go above and beyond its original potential.

My advice, be patient like the rest of us, and when some news comes about, be happy that it came about. The ROMs will be developed and released when they are done and ready for the public.

I have yet to see too much on this subject, other than a good piece by thekidz.rocks.

The full screen junkies of the sense Roms seem to be focusing their energies on the latest MaxManila to get their fix. I prefer to see full screen home pages with skinned taskbars & softkeybars as enjoyed by our WVGA cousins, for them the transition seems easy via HDWalls: for us it is rather tricky.

So we need TIPS, TRICKS, SKINS & hopefully... who knows a VGAWalls to come from somewhere..... plz.

To kickstart here are some dodgy taskbar aligninments with a wallpaper from, I cannot remember quite where... Hidden operator names & hidden slider marker manilas included if interested.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] redflag:
Any 2.5 Manila. You set the background using the Weather Wallpaper option in the Home Tab Menu. The taskbar & Softmenubar can be found in the windows directory & are related to your device theme. For example if under Settings, Personal, Today you have a theme set which is energy, the taskbar file would be energytaskbar.png.

This is skinning Windows 6.5, so will work on any Rom, works with MaxManila too

Hi all,

I've been with the HD2 since launch and it's continually bugs are highly annoying. My wife uses the phone for her own business and she has almost given up on it. She had a nice and easy Nokia 5800 before, which was almost bug free but has a small screen and slow apps.

Can anyone

suggest a suitable replacement phone

for mainly business use(but not the I-phone!)that has equivalent features. My wife likes the large screen, viewing pdf's is great. She hates the touch screen- resistive is better for her I think because the HD2 doesn't like fingernails. She hates the constant everyday bugs- SMS freeze, SMS XT9 intermittent stops mid message, call drops, proximity sensor intermittent etc. etc.

HTC G2? Palm Pre? Nokia N900??

Are they any more stable?

Please help.

Thanks
[HD2 General] jakem:
Perhaps you'd be better off asking this question somewhere else. You could try Nokia, Palm or Android forums.

You might want to check the specs on those phones as well because two of the three have the same capacitive screen as the HD2.
[HD2 General] DavidC1980:
I'd be suggesting a Blackberry Bold (9000 or 9700) judging by your needs. It's got a good screen (but no point comparing it to an HD2), should be stable with a long battery life and cater for all your needs as a business phone.

It should be better than the Nokia 5800 in everyway, but will be a painful experience if you want to match the HD2 for web browsing.

The Pre's nice, but I would be waiting to see what the next iteration is like. I also don't know how long fingernails and the Pre's tight Qwerty keyboard will get along.
[HD2 General] Alisha:
Yes, at the end of the day, if you want a great reliable robust device that actually works, especially for business, seems Palm is a really good choice, for the time being at least. I miss mine...

If you like having a flexible but semi-toy device and have lots of free time chasing fo bug fixes and don't mind essential functions such as simple SMS'ing not working, then stick to a winmo device like HD2 I guess... A couple of things like the display size and web browsing experience in HD2 is gorgeous, but then all the negatives start to tick in...
