Anyone have done this?

I have tried doing it myself. I have modified

HomeBackground_ScreenRotation.OnScreenRotation = function(l_8_0)
trace("+++++++[HomeBackground] : OnScreenRotation")
if _application.Orientation == ScreenOrientation_Portrait then
BackgroundWidth = 480
BackgroundHeight = 696
elseif _application.Orientation == ScreenOrientation_Landscape then
BackgroundWidth = 805
BackgroundHeight = 376
end
[B]BeginLoadBackgroundImage(CachedImagePath)[/B]
end

Whithout luck... any hints why this is not working?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Daranus:
Thank you for your answer!

That doesnt sound good..i personally use S2U2 now, as the wallpapers there look just stunning..it's a shame that we cannot get it to work properly within manila...do you know if it is the same issue with version 2.5 cookiemonster?

Wow thats awesome..when i was developing a bit stuff it was just a pain in the ass because almost every big manila file couldnt be edited..

Big props to you mate, great great work, greatly appreciated!!!..maybe i will take a look at it again nuw...as making wallpapers like that sucks..and i think it wouldnt work with my bg changer mod....anyways, thank you man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: Yup, i will definitely try to figure something out there..is there any "comfortable" way to work with your new luatool thingy?..i only saw 12's kitchen and that is not using a new version and is not that easy configurable to use your new thing there...

atm i search for the asyncimageloader but didnt find a way to properly search for it *laughs*..i have to get into this stuff again for real..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Co0kieMonster:
Not sure why that doesn't work. I'll do some testing this weekend to try to find out.

It's the same thing on 2.5 as previous versions.

12aon and hilaireg are working on an updated kitchen. It should be easier to get things done once it's out.

not for manila 2.5.20121225 WWE NRG

Darn.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chihliouma:
well, it works when you install, but when you rotate in landscape mode, the background you just install will disappear and never come back again even you rotate back in portrait mode. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] santod040:
Cookie,

I have also been trying to get B4all to play nicely with the Home Tab Mod, for myself, but mostly for others.

I have added in the landscape rotation, as I thought was needed. But I still have had no success. The 2.5.1922 build is what works in portrait on 2011 and 2012 also, but breaks still in landscape, no matter what I try.

Any help or insight on this, would make many of the Home Tab Mod users, very happy!! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Co0kieMonster:
Wallpaper disappearing in landscape issue: the solution is to add

_application.OnOrientationChanged:connect(machineStatus_OnCustomBackgroundUpdate)

at the bottom of the script.

I've updated the code in the first post. Only that one extra line is the difference.

I haven't made a cab of it yet, because I'm still researching a few things about the needed mode9. Just wanted to get the info out. Those of you familiar with lua editing: just add that one line and landscape will work.

It seems that even in the latest manila 2.5.2012 the BackgroundLevel0 is blanked out. This can't be changed in the lua script, but only in manila.mode9, which is a bit annoying. So manila.mode9 with a proper BackgroungLevel0 is needed to make the mod work. Not quite what I intended with this mod, but at least Home.mode9 isn't also needed.

I still have to see if older manila versions (19xx) will play nice with the newer mode9 from 2012.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mwalt2:
Thanks for the update cookiemonster. It seems to work ok for the 2.5.2012 vga port (landscape background displays a lower portion of the wallpaper than is displayed without the mod). That may be what you were talking about though.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] santod040:
Thanks Co0kie, this worked great!

I have posted the cab in a thread and linked to it in the Home Tab Mod thread as well. It seems to work just fine.

I have given you credit of course, for your input and excellent Tool.

Thanks again for all your great work and your decompiler. :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Co0kieMonster:
The camera is probably positioned a little differently in landscape so the +696 compensation isn't doing the same thing as in portrait.

Thanks for making the cab. I posted a link to your thread in the bg4all section off my mod thread.

I see you marked it specifically for 2011 and 2012. Has anyone maybe tried it with 19xx ? I'm trying to find out if this is a universal solution so I can include it in my mod.

I've also been experimenting with wallpaper quality, but I haven't been able to get much more quality out of non-HDWall made wallpapers.

Here are some comparisons:

-The default wallpaper quality (non-modified manila or bg4all) - Manila makes a 512x512 jpeg:

http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/4936/jpg512x512.jpg

-This is if I place a 480x800 jpeg in there. Strangely the quality isn't any better than the 512x512 jpeg, even though the image isn't stretched this time. It seem that manila just has a problem with the jpg (and png) format - also notice the "dot artifacts" all over both images. BTW, if I copy this 480x800 jpeg to my computer it has much better quality, so it's definitely down to manila.

http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/9913/jpg480x800.jpg

-And last, this is a 480x800 qtc made with HDWall. It has noticeably finer details then the jpeg and also no artifacts.

http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/3271/qtc480x800.jpg
[Windows Mobile Software Development] santod040:
Thanks again Cookie. I too have been playing wih the resolution and size, but increasing doesnt seem to help, as you have stated. I intend to play with it some more this week. I have had no reports yet on 19xx, but may just test it myself if I get the time. I am mobile now, so will cut this short for now. Anything I can ever do to assist, is always my pleasure, Cookie. Thanks for everything. Sorry for any typos.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mwalt2:
Yeah, I figured it was the camera position. It doesn't bother me since I hardly ever use landscape.

For wallpaper quality, you could look at the .lua files that amarullz posted here. I haven't done a side-by-side comparison, but it does make the wallpaper look better to me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Peteryoung:
i've tried coreplayer, and messed around with all the settings etc, winmo media player is obviously pure balls and everything else i've searched for has been rubbish or just doesn't work.

Now i don't know if this is posted anywhere else, i certainly didn't find it with a few simple searches on here, so i thought i'd post it for everybody else for easy finding!

the DivX mobile player plays nearly all my video files (downloaded...lets face it, we all do it;) ) flawlessly and with no recoding, no editing etc, just drag and drop onto sd and it automatically shows up in the DivX player.

So just a heads up for the rest of you who might be interested.....

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] aleksandar0475:
No videos?

Well,I tried it and it looks nice... I have a lot of videos on my Memory Card,but neither of them appear in DivX player...I tried to put some videos in the same folder in Program files/DivX player,but no success.

What to do to have my videos visible in DivX player?

Thanks a lot for your efforts.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Peteryoung:
I cant really claim to be expert in these things, i'm not new here, but really not an advance user:) i really on the rest of the genii in these fora to helpME out. but as far as simple solutions, try closing divx, taking out/reinserting card then start divx again...or in the menu on bottom right theres refresh videos (or something to that effect) try clicking that and see what happens. if neither of these works, i'm afraid i'm as clueless as you:( sorry mate
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] aleksandar0475:

I tried all of that already mate...but no success.

I think I will have to remove it from my TP2. Because it is useless,unless I find out how to show all videos I have.

Anyway,thanks a lot for your reply.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Fibon@cci:
Err... I'm gessing the divX player only read's avi files...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] aleksandar0475:
Supported codecs...

You are right,probably....it recognizes only AVI files.....

Unfortunately.

And,due to high resolution screen on TP2,menu items in DivX player are sooooo small and tiny. I think this player is not intended for TP2 actually.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kimtyson:
Admittedly, I didn't download it. But the way the site reads it should play DivX and it says nothing about Avi. Actually, it doesn't really say much of anything as far as the technical specs are concerned. It does say that it is beta software available for a limited time only and it will expire. So tread carefully.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dex1701:
FYI - DivX files are almost always AVI. AVI isn't a video format...it's a container for video files in a lot of different formats. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] phiredrop:
Hi all,

I understand this may be silly to even wonder.. but my wife has the AT&T Quickfire (ugh) and I recently got a Mytouch 3G and put the latest CyanogenMod on it. It's great!

I was curious if anyone knows a way to put Android on the Quickfire, or if it's even plausible. I know it's not a smart phone, but anything would be better than the junky OS that comes pre-installed.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] B1scu1T:
Hi guys,

Im having some trouble restoring my phone to its original settings.

I can get the original ROM (o2 uk) on ok but i think it would be wise to get the original splash screen on before i put the original SPL and give it back for replacment but i cant seem to get it to work. The image that i need to use came as a seperate file with the version of the ROM i downloaded.

As instructed on the forum sticky i looked through the wiki and then found the info i thought was relevant

I followed the instructions in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2709600&postcount=1

and first attempt i used this little add on

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=436105

But when i tried to make the nbh using NBHUtil.exe it just didnt make the image at all even though it said done.

I figured, 'ok, il try it without the extra step' and this time it made an image but i cant seem to get the image to work, it just keeps failing and i have to put a fresh stock rom back. I have tried both the USB and the microsd methods of flashing. When using the microsd version it fails on the the bootloaderstage if that helps at all?

Thanks in advance guys

Hi guys,

Appreciate if someone will provide the link for latest windows mobile 6.5 for xda stealth.

Thank you very much.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
One minor niggle about the HD2 is that, while the auto backlight control is fairly good, instead of going from 10% to 100% depending on conditions, it won't go above 80% (I don't think) and certainly won't go below 30%, which is a bit too bright for artificial light, and much too bright for use in darkness.

So, as a quick work-around, I've added a start-menu short-cut to Windows\powerexe.exe - this lets me switch between auto and manual backlight fairly quickly. But it's still one more click than I think should be necessary: you launch powerexe, then have to click the "backlight" button. There must be a way of jumping straight into the backlight screen, because if you go manila settings/sound and display/backlight it jumps you straight there. Can I do that from a short-cut?
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
(bump)

Anyone? :)
[HD2 General] ephestione:
I think the idea if flawed from the start, as a crucial aspect to battery life like backlight optimization cannot be so hard to adjust, and so "blind" as to limit the variation span between two values so far from the extremes.

In my experience the minimum is 40%, as putting my finger in front of the light sensor (which should be the one near the proximity sensor), I notice no decrease in light intensity when compared to manually setting value to 40%.

Also, the fact that we are forced to change the backlight in steps of 10% is simply silly. On my Ipaq I could fine-tune it as much as I needed, and actually my current manual setting of 20% is brighter than I'd like, but 10% is really too dark.

Also, what's the matter with the fact of being unable to completely set the light almost to off? If reading an ebook with white text on black background, a 5% value could be virtually enough.

I was thinking of trying g-light, but haven't got round to it yet :o

http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=glight/about
[HD2 General] my969:
I've been using Lumos, Theemed has posted the link.

It's good and very configurable.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Apparently G-Light desn't work (well it does, but the interface is extremely slow, it will only respond to a click every 5 seconds or so, making it a nightmare to configure). Let's try Lumos.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
While I appreciate all the alternative suggestions, I would still quite like an answer to my original question. :)
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Well, it seems nobody has the answer to whether powerexe can be launched directly to the backlight page...

However in your first post you were complaining about how auto backlight was operating, and it turns out that Lumos does exactly what you'd want. You can set the min and max backlight level, and even tweak the light sensor reading vs BL level curve if you want to.

So isn't that even better? ;)

Personally I was happy with the default auto backlight, but was also looking for a way to easily force it to full power for watching photos or videos. I was also launching powerexe with a shortcut to do it, hence my interest in the thread... Lumos lets you set "exceptions", so I simply set that Coreplayer, Resco photo viewer and HTC album force baclkight to 10. I don't even have to do anything anymore now, all automatic ;)
[HD2 General] ephestione:
@shasarak

I know how you feel :P That's how I felt when I needed to somehow obtain cut/copy/paste functions using the standard htc keyboard, and everyone insisted I chose another keyboard, and at last someone pointed me to the "text edit" function on startbutton-hold found in Quickmenu. Maybe inelegant workaround, but now I can do what I need without changing keyboard, a satisfying compromise.

So well, I discovered Lumos during the same session I noticed your thread, and now that I've been using it since last time, I can say it's definitely effective!
[HD2 General] volcane:
My experience with Lumos was it will cause problem to the G-Sensor. Try play Teeter or Resco Bubble, in Resco Bubble the G-Sensor will stop response every few seconds. Anyone having the same error? Haven't try this on the 1.66 ROM though.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Teeter works fine here, on 1.66.
[HD2 General] volcane:
Hi kilrah, can you try out Caver ageye.de/index.php?s=download, I tested on 1.66 ROM problem persist. Teeter playable, but not very responsive to the action. Many Thanks. :)
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Yep, confirmed that caver will lock about 500ms at every sensor read from Lumos. I've reported it in the Lumos thread.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
OK, seems a solution is to add the programs that cause trouble as exceptions in Lumos, as it then stops reading the light sensor. Works fine indeed.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Has anyone tried this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=582059
[HD2 General] ephestione:
I have the same problem also with g-invaders.

Sometimes tho, g-invaders hiccups at the beginning and after some time it works smooth

No problem with teeter as well, even if it seemed for a while that the gsensor woud lean towards the left side. Recalibrated and apparently no more problems.

That's one of the first I found, but then I went straight to Lumos as it was so completely better ;)

[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
Hiya,

I just showed my girlfriend my new Nexus One, and honestly I expected her to love it as much as I did. Anyway, she found the screen exaggeratedly large, and said it didn't fit in her hand. In short, she would have loved a smaller version of it.

She has a Samsung Corby and its smaller screen seems to be enough for her. That made me think, has there been word about making an Android phone with a much smaller screen, and thus a much smaller size? Truth be told, that would save battery which seems to be the main problem with these phones right now.

Do you think such a phone would sell well? Would there be a market niche for it?
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
I think 3.7 inch is the perfect size. Going higher would make it too big, but going lower would reduce the viewing area too much for my liking.
[Nexus One General] Amdathlonuk:
Sounds like your girlfriend is used to having small things in her hand? :p:D

Seriously though, LG do a small phone and it looks great unfortunately the screen resolution and quality are very poor. It could have been really nice.
[Nexus One General] Misty Blue:
Samsung makes retarded looking phones. You can't ever expect anyone who likes Samsung to like a different style. And...the learning curve would be too much for her to handle.
[Nexus One General] gsvnet:
Wouldn't a myTouch 3G fill that need perfectly then? I do believe it is a bit smaller than the N1, and it does have a smaller screen at 3.2.
[Nexus One General] Antiskunk:
The hero is a great phone. And it's got a small screen, 3.2 inch I think.

Personally I think anything smaller than 3.7 is too small for a smartphone. The iPhone has a wierd screen size ratio to make it seem bigger, but i often found it was too small still.

I haven't tried anything such as the HD2 so 3.7inch is the largest phone i've used so far.

I think 3.9/4 inches would be an ideal size, but ONLY if the battery was above 2000mAh. With a phone that long, the battery wouldn't even protrude much at all.
[Nexus One General] andonnguyen:

I've played around quite a bit with the Touch HD2 and I must say I wouldn't buy a phone that big. Sure it's fantastic to have that kind of screen real estate, but as a phone for day to day use, no.
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
Yeah, that was a one-hit kill dude :-P
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Fair enough... I haven't had a chance to play with anything with a bigger screen than the N1. Interested in trying it out, but I can see your point.
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
I would gladly rock a 4.3" Android in a heartbeat, cant wait till a few come out, if theres one thing instantly noticible about the Nexus its the massive screen size compared to the G1/MyTouch, I think the HD2 is a great size, just needs a keyboard and android : )
