[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] chrisw05:
Is there a cab for the old sms interface. The one that was more plain than the one thats in 6.5. It was more plain and i cant seem to view mms' i get unless i check them right when i get them and it shows me the notification. Otherwise if i dont catch it right away it will show up in my inbox as a message from myself and i cant veiw the pic. I thought maybe the old interface would maybe help. I know someone else had this same problem but i couldnt find the thread to see if the found a soloution. Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Sparkz914:
Old interface wont help....if your using the newer custom roms based off of the LEO ROM
[HD2 General] brutus_103tfs:
Like the topic,Anyways to increase it?

I have high detail Map picture . I open it pass through Albums and try to zoom in the picture. The zoom level is limited,I can't see the small detail in my MAP.

Please,Help that How do I change the Zoom level in the HD2 registry?
[HD2 General] brutus_103tfs:
Please Help!!!!!!!
[HD2 General] brutus_103tfs:
Up,Still wait for answer.
[HD2 General] bloodyking:
I want to know this too.

But, dont get your hopes high for an answer.

I never got one for the same question on Touch Pro and Touch Pro 2..
[HD2 General] rumpleforeskin:
I believe the zoom will only go as far as 1:1 pixel

If this is true zooming futher would not yield any extra detail
[HD2 General] brutus_103tfs:
Finally,I solve it by convert JPG to Pdf, It work fine on Adobe Reader LE.
[HD2 General] mightymn:
nope, it's far less that 1:1 in case of large images. Actually I think it's not even related to the image's resolution. It's fixed to 3-4x I guess.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] brooon:
Hey folks!

I just wanted to ask if there´s any possibilty to get an Iphone-like calendar on my HD2.

No,

I dont´s want to start an anti-iphone war here, I do really just like the design of the calendar here^^ (seems not to force eye-cancer like many other calendar themes on WM :cool:). I´m using Pocket Informant on my HD2 and it´s quite customizable, but I can´t get near this design:

Any Ideas/possibilities?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lorin.bute:
Yeah, its called Inesoft Calendar http://www.inesoft.com/eng/index.php?in=calendar.html

I used it on my Omnia a while back and its great.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] brooon:
Reason for changing the Threadtitle:

grmpf...it is getting harder and harder for me. most of the WinMobile applications are really looking bad, one worst than the other...how can people through such unfinished apps on the market please?

take a closer look on the Homepage of Inesoft..the "menu" and the "calendars" buttons are using uncommon fontsizes, on the one hand the fonts at the bottom/edge seem to be untouched, on the other hand the fonts in the middle seem to have cleartype activated

The colors (for me) are not well chosen...and there is NO possibility to customize that???

Same with thumbcal...NO possibility to change the fontsize...

Is the difference that big between developing an Iphone app and developing the same for WinMobile? Of course, I know the "unique hardware" thing with the Iphone...BUT: why do free developers out there bring up very nice and goog looking applications/themes, while the commercial developers sometimes don´t give a penny on perfection?

I do not understand this issue..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lorin.bute:
Apple has standard controls that are used while developing apps. In wm, the standard ones are bad. So companies develop their own or use others... so there's no consistency between apps and other issues you mention. Maybe you should get the iphone in stead of the HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] brooon:
Why everytime argue in that way? ---> don´t get my wrong, as I said above, I don´t want to start an Iphone vs. WM war here...but I think nobody can´t deny the fact, that many of the WM applications are still looking old fashioned or unfinished...aren´t they?? And my question is: why is this? especially here. inesoft wants to compete with other calendar-suppliers. take a closer look on the link I´ve posted above...i´ve installed the demoversion, it looks horrible to me!! $13,95?

As I said: free devs are programming nice tools/themes and so on...commercials often don´t.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mallman:
you seem to be starting that discussion yourself lol. I think the comment to get an iphone was kind and reasonable. If what you are looking for is apps that all look the same with the same buttons and fonts then an iphone is a good product for you. However, if you require functionality that only winmobile provides that is a different story. A better way to have responded, instead of pointing out that nobody can deny certain "facts" was begging for people to point out the fact that those aren't "facts" :) I am smiling while i write so i am in a fun loving mood, take my comments as you will but realize that you are talking to die hard winmobile folks who generally do not like Apple for many reasons beyond the iphone. cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] LondonTownGuy:
Try SBSH calendar touch I think that one is customizable, It's not iphone like but you may like it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lorin.bute:
I do realize that win mo apps aren't as nice looking as the ones on the iphone, and i wish they were, but i'm also able to get past this and realize that the functionality i get out of those apps or win mo is far greater.

And yes, i was kind with the "get the iphone" comment. No harm intended.

EDIT:

Let me explain once more.

A control is a button, a text box, a search field, a drop down list, a check box, a list and so on. Apple has made those controls in a very nice fashion and they are available to every developer. Microsoft's win mo controls look really bad so that's why many win mo developers make their own. Many try but fail. That's why apps look bad. We need to get beautiful standardized controls for win mo and we will see a change. I guess that's coming with WM7. Anyway, one software company that impressed me with their apps is SPB. I can also add Iconsoft in that category, with their Phonex.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] brooon:
Hey again! :)

Thank you both for your comments! :) I have to add that my written english is not that good, so if my postings above sounded upset i´m deeply sorry for that, this should just be based on my lack of "feeling the language"!! ;) I´m in more than a funny mood too and I smiled while writing the comments, because I was afraid having become an unintended "victim" of these unfactual WinMo/Iphone discussion (there are more than enough on this world, the worries are eligible, aren´t they? :) )

@lorin.bute: Thank you for your explanation! I knew that point, and you are right, many win mo developers make their own controls here (what even

could

be an enrichment I think! :)). That´s perhaps one of the main points I initially wanted to ask for...I don´t know what you have programmed/designed yourself, but i´m sure that you all know the intention, to make something "perfect". When these guys from Inesoft are designing some buttons (e.g. menu and calenders)...why the hell aren´t these buttons designed in the same way/with the same fonts? To use a consistent style within one program makes it more valuable, or am I wrong?

Yes, full agree, SPB are one of my most cherished developers for WinMo, ageye is doing a good job too.
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Tonight I managed to get my first Android build, 2.0.1, compiled myself from AOSP, up and running on the Vogue from NAND.

I made some small changes, most notably, updating the build.prop to adjust the DPI to 120 and adding the libhtcgeneric_ril.so library, as well as adding the necessary (or.. is it necessary?) build.prop entry to get the radio functioning.

I proudly present my first Android build. :)

NOTE: This is purely for testing/evaluation purposes.

Working:

Radio

Data

Screen resolution is accurate

Not Working:

Audio

Power Functionality (buttons do not wake the phone?)

GPS

Anyone up for pointing out what I need to do differently to get the non-working aspects functioning? Any tips on optimization? Clues to setup and take full advantage of build.prop?

Additionally, do we have a central repository of Vogue (or MSM7k) drivers that've been ported as source, ready to be compiled for different versions?

There's probably a lot missing here that I'm not even considering.. so please feel free to make any comments, give any advice, or point me towards any documentation.

All help is appreciated. Thanks!
[Touch CDMA General] polyrhythmic:
I think this is the repo you're looking for:

http://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb-index.cgi

It contains Audio & GPS drivers, among other things. Can you wake the phone over adb shell with the command echo "wake" > /sys/android_power/request_state ? I'm also interested in getting an AOSP build running from source, I'd like to get the camera working for Eclair.

EDIT: Also, in the zenulator's eclair mod, the /system/etc/keychars directory contains these files:

htcvogue-ts.kcm.bin
qwerty2.kcm.bin
qwerty.kcm.bin
sapphire-keypad.kcm.bin
trout-keypad.kcm.bin
trout-keypad-qwertz.kcm.bin
trout-keypad-v2.kcm.bin
trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin
tuttle2.kcm.bin
vogue-ts.kcm.bin

Perhaps that vogue binary is needed? That's my shot in the dark.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
Those files are just for the keymapping, nothing more..
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
What's responsible (or handles) power management, then?

And why are there so many keymapping files? According to AOSP, Android will default to qwerty.kl, and certainly with the Vogue being as simple as it is, a single qwerty.kl set up for the Vogue would be sufficient.

So what gives? Or are these files all leftover as this was "ported", and they existed to support previous devices, etc.?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
first off great job. this is exactly how i started out by building my own builds from source and then taking apart others to see what fits together. if i have time this weeked i'll have a look at it.
[Touch CDMA General] bri3d:
There are an awful lot of moving parts in power management in Android (and any OS, really) - there's the kernel's power subsystem which controls deep sleep / suspend, and which Android attaches a "wakelock" system to, each radio lib (Bluetooth, WiFi, phone) has power management (which hooks up to kernel interfaces), there's the panel driver which controls brightness, etc.

I think the keymapping files are just there so that no matter which one the framework looks for, it always finds one, speeding things up - rather than having to try to find each one and failing down until it finds its eventual failsafe qwerty, it loads the Vogue one straight away.
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
Awesome man, way to go!

Can you throw in links for rootfs/zimage, I will try later today on my wife's phone.
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Thanks sshark, I would, but I've been tweaking that image continuously and at it's current state, it's broken. :)

Here are the major hurdles I'm facing right now:

How do I determine which drivers are and are not necessary in a build? If we use an AOSP build, or someone else's port, obviously we don't want audio drivers from the Nexus One or generic Goldfish sensors from AOSP, so how can we know what we need to be able to keep images clean?

Along the same vein, how does one incorporate drivers accordingly, such as audio?

Is power management really a dark art right now? Plemen's AOSP build is fantastic, but I typically have to push the power button four times to get the OS to wake up, whereas a 2.1 build I just played with on the Vogue would power up right away on one click. What gives?

When compiling images using genext2fs, does 80000 vs 160000 matter, NAND vs HaRET booting? What's the maximum?

Lastly, I've recently tried unsquashing others images, making changes, and then trying to re-ext2 them, mount them, and squash them. However, when I do this, my images no longer boot fully on my Vogue--instead they'll get as far as the boot animation, it'll run for a bit, and then the boot animation will pause for a second or two, and restart. This happens endlessly. Is this a problem with my process, be it ext2, sqsh (sqsh version, perhaps?) anyone have an idea?
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
i cant answer all of those questions, with that said ill tackle the last two

4. when using genext2fs to compile builds it doesnt matter what the -b count is we just use

genext2fs -d ./system -b [B]180000[/B] -a system.ext2

to make sure we could fit a ~180 mb system so if your system folder is ~120mb(uncompressed), using -b 125000 should work.

5. make sure you arent using squashfs-tools 4.0 because it isnt supported in our kernel version. so use 3.3 or 3.1 .

5b. when you see the boot logo looping, that means the build has crashed and like i said to you before i strongly recommend you setup adb on you box so you can run logcat to see what the phone is actually doing and to debug what went wrong and why it is looping
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Thanks Jamezelle. So NAND users need to make sure it's -b 90000 (or less), as NAND only supports 90 mb. max, correct?
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
right i would keep it around 88 to be safe.
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
I'm trying to get ADB to work (using ubuntu 9.10) and I've followed the instructions here, including restarting udev, but even still when I try to start adb, I get "command not found" in terminal.

Any ideas on what I'm missing?

EDIT: I'm missing a ./. I'm really starting to wish I could do this natively in Windows.. geeze.
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
did you make sure you added the path to adb in .bashrc

that should clear up the "Command not found" issue
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Yep, that was the issue. It needs to be there, or launched as ./, I presume.

Thanks much for your help tonight, Jamezelle.. I'm happy to report that I'm steadily making progress for a working release. :D
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
thats great to hear, also thanks for your additions to the libgps.so! its nice to still see some android enthusiasm in this community

I know people in Haiti (Family) so I ask XDA if they can simply help out! with our devices simply text to help out please.. I am sure 5 or 10 bucks added on to your next bill wouldn't hurt..

simply text "HAITI" to "90999" and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts, charged to your cell phone bill.

Here is a secondary option. We're asking individuals to donate $5.00 by texting 'YELE' to 501501. This amount will be billed on your next cellphone bill, simply meaning that you will receive an additional charge on your next bill. If you're unable to use this method, you may visit the site http://www.yele.org. Ladies and gentlemen, the people of Haiti are in great need of our help.

[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] oishiiunko:
WMCRC 0.7b - How to...

CONNECTING TO WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER:

There are two ways to connect to media center: automatically and manually.

-The app will automatically search for computers on your network when it is launched, if the 'automatically connect' option is disabled in the settings menu. it is disabled by default, but if youve set it in a previous release, you'll need to change it to enable searching.

-If the 'automatically connect' option is ticked, then the app will not search for computers. Instead it will try to automatically connect you to the address you entered on the settings menu after 15 seconds. Use this option if you are having problems with the search.​

CONTROLLING WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER:

Press the green button at the top right to go to the start menu.

Left softkey provides a menu with several useful shortcuts, such as volume presets and shortcuts to music, tv and videos. To disconnect or exit the application, select disconnect>disconnect/exit from this menu.

Dragging and releasing the progress slider seeks the media to the desired position, useful for podcasts or long mp3s.

Typing on the keyboard or SIP when the 'enable hardware keyboard' option is used will send characters you type to Windows Media Center for use when searching through your media collection.

If your handset has a hardware d-pad, you are able to use this to control media center. Otherwise, tick the "enable touch d-pad" option in the settings menu to use the software d-pad.
​

HARDWARE D-PAD:

Pressing the 'directional' button on the top-right switches the d-pad to media control mode, where:

-enter is play/pause

-left/right is prev/next

-up/down is channel up/down

Pressing it again reverts back to normal directional navigation mode.

The right softkey acts as a back button for menu navigation.

Pressing the volume button will switch to volume control mode (hardware d-pad only) and using the up/down d-pad changes volume, and the left/right buttons change it by a larger amount. Press volume button again or enter on d-pad to switch back to normal mode.
​

SOFTWARE D-PAD:

Pressing the 'directional' button on the top-right switches the d-pad to media control mode, where:

-enter is play/pause

-left/right is channel up/down

-up/down is volume up/down

Pressing it again reverts back to normal directional navigation mode.

The right softkey will toggle the d-pad on and off, so you are still able to see information about what's currently playing.

Onscreen d-pad will not work in landscape mode.​
