errr why, hardly any chef creates WM6.1 any more which is a shame.

even if they did they would probably have multiple offerings, ie a WM6.5 vers, WM6.5.5 and WM6.1 possibly.

Most people seem to title there threads pretty well these days, ie.[WM6.1]
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] BlueAnt1958:
I agree with Spartan

I have to agree with the Spartan.

The titles pretty much tell you what version of OS is installed. You just need to read, search, etc.

We also need to remember that most of the mods have day jobs too and volunteer their time to keep this place running. They do a pretty good job and I don't usually see any thanks sent their way for their efforts.

Just my 2 cents worth :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vjeta:
great idea

I think it's a great idea!

1- wm 6.1 roms

2- wm 6.5 roms

3- wm 6.5.X roms

4- android development

would be great !
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Behold:
I agree that the title tells you but with sooo many roms still being cooked it would be nice to split it a bit.

A dedicated Android area would make that a bit easier to follow as there is a few things going on and they get very lost in the WM roms...

As to 6.1/6.5 maybe all we need is a ROMS only sub forum. leave the top level for discussing radio's and comparison roms. Also any other developments then the sub forum has ONLY the roms and nothing else.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bodisson:
Since there is no official HTC ROM for Touch HD on WM 6.5 or Android, I have to agree with Fallen Spartan.

Even if there is, such division would make tracking ROMs more difficult.

And if you spot ROM you like, there's always "Subscribe thread" option... ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mrobo:
I agree too with subforums for WM 6.1 and WM 6.5 and even WM 7 and don't forget ANDROID or Linux subforum !!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Terrorhuhn:
i don't think that this is a good idea, BUT...

would it be possible to creat a "filter", so that we can filter threads out or only view threads wich are in our interests.

And every Thread-creator marks a few options do define is thread.

This would be much better to search for special things like wm6.5, tf3d 2.5, or only wm6.5.x, wm6.5.x+tf3d2.5....

greets
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
As it stands users who create threads can tag his/her threads with 'code words' which help for filtering when using the 'search option'

All we need is for people who create threads to use this option.....it already exists!!!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Terrorhuhn:
Hm... i thougt we couldn't search for things with only 3 letters.

Or is that possible with the "[]"s?

Cool, than it would be greate if all people would mark their threads with the right [...]s *gg*

greets
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] GSXR750K2:
I for one was out of the game for a while and came back to see 6.5 everywhere. I'm not particularly impressed and prefer a tweaked version of my original 6.1 ROM. I use the search function extensively for some tools and such that I used to use, but the problem is so many things from 6.1 carry to 6.5. Keywords and the like don't really change that much in the evolution of operating systems, so while I did find what I was looking for from several months back, it took an awful long time. Subforums would make things easier to find, and potentially cut back on useless posts because the information wouldn't be as chaotic. I understand it wouldn't be as easy as snapping fingers to make it happen, but with the various groups who follow the Blackstone, subforums would make information more accessible. Just my nickel's worth.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Bit of info for everyone

I've recommended that the Blackstone rom development forums be split into 2 sub forums

Android development & WM development

Think this should be enough at present to help de-clutter the forum. I still don't see a need for further sub-forums. People just need to learn to search!!!!!

Understand, this is only a recommendation and if may not be granted ;)

EDIT - FLar has created a new thread with a poll to enable you to vote for the rom development forum to be split into Android development & WM development
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mikegee:
One obvious way of dividing the forum should be between Windows Mobile and Android. As for division between 6.5 and 6.1 i think that it would be better if all the roms on the title of the thread read [WM 6.1] or [WM.6.5]. Thats my view.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] THUDUK:
Why does everyone keep going on about Android, tried it and it runs slow, makes the machine get very hot...surely this Android thing is not worthy of its own section
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] godboyro:
Hello there i was wondering does anybody know how to remove the ennoying StartUp Vodafone on my HTC Touch Pro VODAFONE edition?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] saint01:
has anyone installed 2.1 on their MyTouch? I have a rooted Cyanogen 4.2.12.2 build with the Enoch theme and would like to upgrade to 2.1 instead of the core 1.6. Anyone susccessful?

Also, anyone have problems loading Google Maps 3.3.1? I can download it, but get the error when installing about "the installation was not signed" or something like that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tazz9690:
2.1 is a nice OS. Kinda slow compared to 1.6, but it's faster than a hero.

To download the new Maps, you gotta delete the apk and maps folder through ADB. Then the new maps will successfully install.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] saint01:
thanks dude...I actually think that I will stick with 1.6 if 2.1 is slower. I don't need to slow this thing down any more. It already feels like it runs slow with teh memory hack and the cpu overclocked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] applebook:
Manup456's 2.1 is one of the best, but it has plenty of bugs right now, and videos do not work.

I'm going to try Cyanogen's 1.6 to see if I prefer it.
[Nexus One General] Legaleye3000:
I chose a contact as a shortcut. If a contact has multiple numbers, when I click on the shorcut and click on the phone icon, it will ask "remember this choice" for default. Well... I want my calls to this person to have a default number, but I want the default SMS number to be different, but it doesn't do it. When I choose a default CALL number, it uses that as the SMS default number.

Anyone notice this? Anyone know a fix? Thanks
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Have you tried going to the individuals contact and long pressing the desired numbers to set them as the defaults that you want?
[Nexus One General] Legaleye3000:
You can't do that from the contact shortcut (I created a shortcut on my phone's desktop by holding down on the desktop, then choosing shortcut, then choose contact; that's where the I'm having the problem)

Once I choose a default in the contact's shortcut (on the desktop), it uses tha default for both CALLS and SMS. In my situation, I want the Home phone number to be default for calls, but the cell phone number for SMS.
[Touch Cruise General] Scalee:
I have been googling for about an hour trying to solve this problem but i'm not even sure what this is called, so i apologies if this has been asked a million times.

The problem:

When i am sms'ing and type "wel" it switches it for "we'll" and if have been looking how to disable this.

Backstory:

I am dutch but i prefer most things in english then dutch.

And "wel" is the dutch word for "well" a quite common word so i often use it.

Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks
[Touch Cruise General] Bacaryu:
I got exactly the same issue, if I could only remove the word we'll from the dictionary it should be ok. because in a text message the ( ' ) seperates the message in 2 text messages.

I'm curious if somebody got a solution for this
[Touch Cruise General] Bacaryu:
found a solution, in windows mobile 6.5 you can "@ keyboard options" disable auto correct

Hi xda, i have a bunch of precompiled binarys that im trying to flash to the ext3 partition of my sd card.

Now if i flash them that way, i cant execute them. Chmodded to 755 but every binary will fail starting with a not found error.

If i copy the files manually everything is working fine.

Anyone has an idea why this isnt working?

Could this be related to symlinks?

im defenetely out of ideas -.-

If you are talking about the boot.img, it's a one line command. What don't you understand?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Aeonys:
Hi everyone,

A friend of mine just got a Palm pre plus. Nice phone, not bad at all. I still prefer my Nexus but one tool really did caught my eye on the Palm.

The multitasking ability is wonderfull on the Pre. the ability to view small windows of every tasks you are running, moving left of right to switch and up to close/kill an app is just plain awesome.

I know jailbroken Iphone can download a similar app through cydia. So if the Iphone can do it, Why can't I find anything alike for Android?

That would be a great app that for sure many would download as it is just nice looking.

thanks a lot for reading.

Aeonys
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ShotSkydiver:
I would love love love this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] galaxys:
That would be way cool :cool: Been wanting something like that for a while now :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Driskol:
You mean a task switcher :)

And yes, would be a nice feature :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mhaedo:
You can simply long press the home button. It's not all your running tasks, just your six most recently executed applications. It's not nearly as cool of an interface as the Palm Pre may have, but it effectively does the same thing. For killing processes I recommend Advanced Task Manager.

I'm sure we'll have a similar interface on stock Android in future releases. 2.5 perhaps?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Aeonys:
@mhaedo:

Thanks for the tip! I tried it and it aint bad.

I already had Commantalb and ES task manager.

Both of them and this trick do partly what I ask (and other too.)

Check out the proswitcher on youtube. I'm sure it ain't too hard to have an app running in the back that shows up like commantab show you the windows let you kill them with a vertical slide, etc.

If I wait for this to happen on android 3.1 I may as well buy an Iphone (oh dear no way!)...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
Proswitcher looks fantastic.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] danguyf:
Now that we have a phone with some decent power, I'd love to see a graphical task switching app with thumbnails and gestures like this!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
Having used the two multitasking solutions available on cydia (multifl0w and kirkae) I can report that they are buggy at best. In theory it works well but in practice, I often had apps crash when backgrounded (pandora was a fine example of this). The phone was not meant for it and could barely support it.

Using backgrounder alone with pandora worked well most of the time but even then pandora would close.

Personally, I have no real compelling interest in a pre-esque multitasking ability on the n1 but if someone came out with one, I would definitely try it out for no other reason than "why not". :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aleitry:
coming from a 3gs and having used mquickdo and kirikae, I also would like to see how the n1 would handle task switching.

yep, backgrounding + task switching via card view on the iphone (specially through kirikae) was nice to have and would like to see how a similar solution would operate on the n1 - which supports unfettered multitasking out of the box.

aside from task switching, i would really like to have a nice way to invoke favorite, instead of recently used apps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
You're gonna end up with like....8 million cards when you want to switch.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
if you want to use a set of favourites, why not just make the "home" desktop where you keep your favourites? Seems to satisfy that ask, no?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Stop being so logical.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dnanj:
You can create a folder on your home screen, name it favorites, then dump shortcuts of all your favorite, top 5 or top 10 apps in there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aleitry:
legitimate suggestions and really i'm in no way being critical about current support for folders or shortcuts. pre like task switching or swipe-to-invoke features would be cool - but not necessary. bottom line - my n1 runs circles around my 3gs - without jbreaking.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Aeonys:
I have to disagree with you on this Sir. proswitcher and Multiflow are both apps made by some user to compensate a HUGE lack in the Iphone. They are comparable to Cyanogen making multitouch on the Nexus (on the video it was shaky and unprecise at best). Besides, they can hardly work well because of the phone's design (solo tasking).

Now you've got the Nexus: Lots of power, and able to multitask. So with such a device I don't think it would be SOOOOO complicated to actually make a switching feature like it exists with great success on the Palm PRE.

I had to spend quite a long while the first time on my wife's Iphone just to get Proswitcher (unlock/root/blackstuff/cydia/backgrounder/proswitcher/settings) to get this important app: because quite frankly, yes it's buggy but it's awesome to be ABLE to do more than 1 thing at the same time like looking for apps and installing apps for example... My Pal who's got the PRE now has this feature built it. His PRE is nice, no offense, but the Nexus kills it. This feature would be one of the only thing I'm really jealous about.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
lol from the dev of ProSwitcher when asked about making a similar app for Android.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Iman07:
proswitcher is sooo cool its almost sickening! our n1's can run x2 amount of apps as the iphone and yet we only get to switch between the most recent 6?! thats weak! i bet if we keep this thread alive (and on topic) we can see some development. lets see what dev is up to the challenge. i would definitely pay for something like this!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] m00moo:
your posts needs some clearing up.

N1 can run not just x2 amount of apps as the iphone. More, way more...prob more near 10? 20? obviously depending on the app itself.

We are able to switch between any open apps by loading up the app again from either the drawer or any shortcuts you've made. I understand you may mean by touch holding the home button but tbh its far far easier to press home once and nav to your app, and having it open instantly. Rather than sifting through pages to find it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Iman07:
I was basing it solely on the fact that our N1's have twice as much RAM as the iPhone, 512 vs 256 respectively. Of course it depends on size of the app but it wasnt meant to be scrutinized over.

Yes I do mean by holding the home button, but I find it more work to have to open the app drawer and sift through my 100 apps, though alphabetical, can be cumbersome. To each his own though.

Still would love to see a more effective and efficient method of switching between apps than the obvious (placing shortcuts on the desktop), sifting through app cards is cooler than sifting through the app drawer. Perhaps if the cards were limited to a certain number so it doesnt get out of hand. Who knows!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
I think the nexus can run more than two apps...

*Good night everybody, thanks for having me!*
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PatrickRiccardo:
I LOL'ed! :D

On-topic. I'm too hoping for a Pre-like multitasking app (or built in)

Engadget had an article with a video showing a multitouch function in the homescreen on a HTC Hero! Don't know if it's a leak of Sense 2.1 or something else, but that seemed like a great idea for multitasking. -> pinch to zoom out and get an overview of running apps!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Aeonys:
Hi all.

Thanks for keeping this thread alive. I really hope some dev will do it. There is a precedent on iphone with PS. So we, android happy user deserve the same love.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thisiskyleadams:
What about adding a new section in the pull-down notification panel and call it like "recent" with an icon for the 6 recent apps seen when long pressing the home button?

Maybe if an app that already stays in the notification panel while running (AIM for instance) it wouldn't show up in this particular "running" section since its already got a dedicated line?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xombe:
I moved from the Pre to the N1. While I am happy with the switch, Palm does have multitasking down well. The ability to switch among running apps is much smoother in the Pre than that of Android based devices.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
\

Do you have a link to that article? I just looked(half-assed it) but didn't find anything.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PatrickRiccardo:
Err, i found it, but the forum won't let me post the link since i haven't posted enough before :rolleyes:

But just head over to Engadgets site and type "Hero" in the searchfield. The second article is the one I'm talking about. The headline says: HTC Hero shows off multitouch-enabled Sense UI on video.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BrooklynAvi:
This is NOT a card view like on the Pre. Not even close. This is just a card view of the home screens. You can have this right now on your N1 by downloading Launcher+ which allows for this by long-pressing the Menu soft-key. Nothing spectacular and not really useful. MT isn't the be all and end all of these devices. In fact, I find it gets in the way more often than being an important feature. Multi-tasking is nice on Android. Are people so lazy that they can't click Home and then the app? You would have to slide through a million cards to get to the app you want anyway. Based on TaskOS, which does this in a minor way, I'd rather just go to my home screen and go from there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Iman07:
maybe cards arnt the best way to switch between all the apps that are running, but i wouldnt mind having a card view for my recent 6. and then when i close it the next running app takes its place.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] eabinsan:
you guys need to realize how multitasking is done on android. as soon as an application loses the focus, it can and will be closed by android at will. all applications that really run in background are services without any kind of GUI.

so for this to happen, android would need to change a significant and important part of it's design.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Iman07:
someone should get on it then. there needs to be some kind of threshold. i mean my nexus gets down to like 30mb of free ram and thats just stupid. i want at least 50mb free even with all my IMPORTANT apps running. i find myself having to close like half of the stuff that i never even wanted. running only my important stuff i have about 120mb free and that with ALL my IMPORTANT apps running. no reason its should get down till 30mb. when is the android built in task manager suppose to kick in and close the apps? cuz it hasnt happen yet. i know how it works, it just hasnt done it yet.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
Very true. I never said they weren't created for that reason so I fail to see what you are disagreeing with :)

first, Cyan did not make MT on the N1. The N1 natively supported it which is how the dolphin browser was able to implement it. The N1s that shipped overseas had MT globally...Cyan released a broswer hack that afforded the users the ability to have MT in the stock browser.

The multitasking solutions on the iphone work poorly because of their design? I couldn't agree more. So again, what are you disagreeing with? :)

I grew so accustomed to how my iphone worked, i still forget to hold down the home button for easy access to recent apps. :D I also go about how I use gadgets quite differently than most so while having a solution like the cards on the pre would definitely be nice, it isn't something that *I* require...

It's really not that difficult :P I would say the iphone is the second easiest platform to unlock behind the Pre.

Ya, two of my friends switched from the Pre to the N1 and both claim to not really miss the multitasking all too much with how many benefits the N1 has.

The biggest mistake with phones thus far I have made was ditching my G1 for an iphone when I moved from tmo->att. I should have just dealt with the edge speeds and called it a day.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
Long pressing home screen brings up 6 most recent apps.

Only difference would be long pressing and having those 6 apps appear in a card view ala pre/pro switcher or maybe something unique but as pretty.

Thats it.

Theres no need to overhaul anything.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] eabinsan:
The only problem is that those 6 most recent applications are not neccessarily running anymore, so there might be nothing to show.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
What is there to show anyways? Stuff would only be legible in the card view with two maybe three apps running. Anything else and you won't be able to read from the card view. You'll have to switch to the app anyways.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vivanshah:
free ram is wasted ram
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] McFroger3:
you sir win!

I mean come on people, if your not using the ram then its being wasted. Push your device to its limits and use it all like its supposed to be done. This is just like when people get 8 gigs of ram for their pc and then only do web surfing. Its a waste.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BrooklynAvi:
Absolutely. While I would like the option (I wouldn't necessarily use it) of having some eye candy, I'm quite happy with the way everything works now. I'd like to see long-pressing the Home key show the ten or twelve apps. Why not show some more? Why waste the screen space. But the bottom line is that all 285+ apps on my phone are organized into folders on my home screen so NOTHING is more than, at most, three clicks away. My most common thirty-two are never more than two clicks away. Since I got my N1 I no longer use a task manager. The only reason I have it installed is if I need it to kill an app for a particular reason, e.g. while developing. Otherwise, the N1 is so freakin' fast I don't care how many apps are running. For the record, I had my N1 running for eight straight days without a single hiccup and only rebooted to flash an updated ROM. This things rocks. So everyone needs to stop being so lazy and just click Home, Folder/Launcher, App. Three to five seconds at the most.

PS: TaskOS is coming along nicely for those looking for some eye candy and a GUI switcher. You can rewire the Search button if you really want, too.
