[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] traianescu:
not the only.. the other reason i wrote it under "position fix wm 6.5.x" :

i have trouble with wm6.5.x when installing programs... i tried to install pocket player 5.3.5.. when finished the installation, have to press OK button in the right angle, on top, but is not visible (hidden under the small clock) and can not touch it, as there is the titlebarlist from wm6.5.x (an other thing that i hate) .. or other programs have a button to the right corner, to the bottom, hidden by the large bottom bar.. it is any solution to automaticaly resize the windows of the programs to the size of wm6.5.x ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arnaud.ja:
Yes the ok button on the top right corner does not work anymore with 6.5.3. I reallydoubt that removing the titlebar will fix the OK button problem.

Here is a very simple fix: you will find that with this kind of app, the physical "back arrow" button of you HD2 does the trick...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] traianescu:
that one was just an example of one software that i remember the position of the buttons from previous installation... but when i install new programs, always the trick with back arrow does the trick, even if the button is, for example, at the bottom ? :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arnaud.ja:
From what I know, there are two different way to close apps depending on how it has been coded.

The first type is the "cross button" that is top right on 6.5. For this type of the cross is on bottom right of the screen with 6.5.x.

The second type is the "ok button" that used to be on top right of the screen. These apps are generally old ones with WM6 menu style. For some reason (I guess MFC calls have been modified on 6.5.x) the ok button does not appear anymore and the cross button does not appear. For these apps, pressing the physical "back arrow" button works.

I do not know any application with a close button at the bottom. If this is the case, it is a non-standard MFC call and the button should be there even with 6.5.x. Post a picture if you have one to understand the issue you have.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] traianescu:
sorry, but i don't have anymore wm6.5.x.. i'm back to wm6.5 (dutty 2.3).. i am still waiting an solution to get back the top right OK and to remove the top titlebar(for this one i understood that was told by appelfap)

any mod to remove the top right clock? maybe in this way the OK became visible? :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] JLowe:
yes, this Titlebarlist is really annoying. A better work-around as using this taskbar launcher (which looks 2 ugly for me - sorry!) is Arkswitch

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=618300

and the Dust skin

Then go to Menu -> Activation Field and boost the field from top left to right until the beginning of the clock... et voilà: no Titlebar if you tap on the Taskbar.

Also advantage with this solution: You can use a skinned alterantive Taskbar like this from MysticGenius...

Perhaps someone knows how to cook-out these Titlebar from the WM6.5.3 SYS???

I was originally going to post to ask how I remove links 10-16 having using an app to increase to a 4x4 grid and read that it is done my uninstalling then reinstalling that app [slightly cumbersome but otherwise fine]

Next question concerns ways of adding things to the quicklinks that are not readily available ege making a folder for games, put links to installed games in it and then adding a quicklink to the games folder rather than each one in turn?

Similarly to add a quicklink to a movies [etc] folder for easy access?
[HD2 General] wigwam12:
Has anyone found a way to remove quicklinks in positions 10-20 without having to uninstall then reinstall please?
[HD2 Accessories] EFMax:
I recently purchased for the princely sum of £5 a stylus - aimed at the iPhone made by Exspect..

Now they are a few styli out there that just don't work but this one is weird..

The end is like rubber and all spongy and it works just fine when you press (though I wish the end was more pointed) but it won't scroll via the rubber end cap but, and this is weird, to get it to scroll from left to right, you place the stylus on the screen vertically (holding the clip) and move it from left to right and hey-presto it scrolls a screen at a time and if you turn it around it scrolls from top to bottom.. all this and it is not physically touching or scratching the screen..

So how have they done that as there are no magnets (that I can see) in the stylus, no user or moveable parts.. but it works.. strange but I am curious as to if the official HTC stylus that is currently being advertised at £17 is the same or any better..

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zephyron:
Hey, I've searched all over and couldn't find anything on this (maybe it was in a way older post) but I was wondering if it was at all possible to hack/port the keyboard on the iphone over to an android phone? Has anyone tried this? Is it just plain impossible, if so what are the obstacles? Any insight would help, thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hybridb:
I don't think anyone has tried doing so. The HTC_IME keyboard is kinda close to it. Im not sure what would be the point, there is a lot of replacement keyboards out there like Better Keyboard which is skinnable. Also, the iphone has a wider screen than most android phones(I think even wider than that of the nexus one), which makes using a virtual keyboard in portrait mode easier.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
I'm not really sure what you're asking here. Do you want the look of the iPhone's keypad or the spelling correction engine? It's impossible to "port" either over, you'd have to write an IME for Android which imitates the iPhone's keypad.

To be honest I'm confused why you'd want either. Having used both iPhone OS and Android for a long time I find the iPhone's IME a pain in the ass to use over HTC's IME for Android which is excellent.

Yes the iPhone does have a slightly wider (and taller) screen than most android phones because it's screen is 3.5" compared to 3.1/3.2 used by most Android phones. The only Android phones with screens taller and wider are the DROID/Milestone and Nexus One (AFAIK).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jonesyruless:
this annoys me. why do android fans like to get defensive when someone likes certain features of the iphone & want it on their android phone. don't tell them to buy an iphone, obviously they would have bought one of that's what they wanted. the iphone keyboard is actually much much better than the default android keyboard & everyone who's used the iphone keyboard knows that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] REALfreaky:
I doubt he was referring to the default keyboard. Everyone knows that the default sucks (except for the voice input, but that is available on many 3rd-party keyboards as well).

As for the initial question: No, you cannot port it over. Not without the source code and alot of time, anyways. There are a few skinnable keyboards on the market which include an iPhone skin. The HTC_IME is free and already looks alot like the iPhone keyboard. There is also a modified version which works with more languages here.

Hi to everyone!!!

I am a new android user and I have to say I am so excited!!! Everything is new and great (almost...).

I have been searching for a keyboard with the < ` > symbol (it's the one under < ~ > in a classic querty keyboard with no success. Can anybody help me find one??

[HD2 General] wigwam12:
Okay guys more help please!

I can't recall if I saw these things pre or post upgrade from 1.48 to 1.66 rom

BUT:

1) when I pressed the windows button there used to be a folder there called games which is no longer there. I can find it via file explorer in start menu/programs (and it contains links to a couple of games I installed) but I would like it back in the main screen to be able to click on

2) there used to be an icon for bluetooth. I think it used to be in the tools folder but again I can't find it anywhere now, not even via file explorer in start menu as above. I can turn on BT via the setting switch but

a) I would like to get back icons that there there before!

b) I would like to explore what configurable options are available
[HD2 General] wigwam12:
sorry just to update.

I remembered now where the BT icon is/was - setting/all settings!

Still would like the Games Folder on the main screen (ie when you press the windows button and/or even better a quicklink) though!
[HD2 General] wigwam12:
Ignore me - I'm dim!

Found it. It is still there but the icon is different [or possibly I remember it differently!]

I have added a shortcut to the BT Manager to the startup menu so I have an icon there now as well

No luck here, unfortunately. I'm stuck at the Recovery Flasher. I get Flash FAILED: Could not run command. Could be that your kernel was not patched yet as the newer Rogers one is running HBOOT-1.33.0010 (DREA21000). Oh well, I hope someone finds a way soon!

If your phone info is the same as listed in the first post then this will work (if followed correctly). Anything different may require a different method, I suggest searching for a solution.

ok now when i install flashrec, on the top corner it claims that my device is a

i hve tried the fastboot method of rooting, but my attempts end when cmd give a remote- not allow error

so i have tried using the method above. i have successfully installed flashrec, backed up my existing image, no problem. so at this point i am supposed to shut down the phone and reboot into recovery, by holding the home button when powering up.

i tried using the reboot into recovery using the button provided in the new flash rec but nothing happens.

when i restart the phone while holding the home button, the HTC DREAM logo comes up and just freezes there. i have held the button for up to 5 minutes, nothing, i have also left the logo on for almost half an hour and nothng seems to happen.

Please help me out anyone? this phone is pretty lame as stock especially for the amount you pay for it.. :)
[G1 General] pardus:
sounds like you're not doing it to the letter, after installing flashrec it says "For Dream/G1 users: power off, then hold "send or answer" button & press power button until you're into "FASTBOOT" mode, make sure the words HBOOT-1.33.2005... appear near the top of the phone's screen!" NOT 'i am supposed to shut down the phone and reboot into recovery, by holding the home button when powering up."

if you don't do it right it won't work right
[G1 General] kiziki:
true that.. i found out that i was downloading the wrong recovery image... for you MTN guys, be sure to use

recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0R.img

and not the previous version as it did not work for me!!!

Hi,

Thanks for great post on rooting your SA dream. I've been trying to root my phone for ages and have bricked it once.(But thank goodness leaf didnt released it and fixed it at no charge) So this time when I do it, I wanna be very sure.

When you say:

"You have to put the rom you'd like to install (I've used Cyanogen's and SuperD's) in the root of your phone's sd card "

Where do i get the cyanogen or SuperD's rom?
[G1 General] legojj:
Scratch what i said before... i used Chromatic 4.5 rom and my build number is 1.86.421.1 146733 cl#47295 release-keys.

And it works perfect. :)

Thanks so much. Looks amazing
[G1 General] pardus:
If you haven't figured it out already then you can get a ROM from one of the ROM threads in the G1 Android Developement section.

But perhaps it might be a good idea to do a little more reading as to why you would like to root and what ROM you would actually like on your phone, remember you can't just put any ROM on and may brick the phone again if you make a mistake. :rolleyes: :D
[G1 General] joeyhza:
You effin ROCK!!!!!

Worked like a charm!
[G1 General] JaseSG:
Thanks Pardus! My HTC Dream is now like a new phone! I'm loving it!

Only problem I had was the rom image "signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip" from developer.htc.com/adp.html#s3 was either corrupt or just not dowloading properly. I got nervous at first when it didn't work but then googled the file name and downloaded another copy. I then mounted the SD card and placed the new file in the SD card root. It was all good from there.

Awesome!!
[G1 General] pardus:
Excellent, doesn't it just give new life to our Dreams :) !

So far the 'Official AOSP 2.2 OTA test-3' ROM is working well for me as is the new radio and spl (2.22.28.25 and 1.33.0013d).
[G1 General] Ashman46:
okay im new tothis and im a noob lol, well im having problems with the cmd section, cant get my pc to do anything with cmd, any idea's on how i can get past this? Since I havent actually ever used cmd before so I don't actually know what i need to type when I get to that step, please help
[G1 General] pardus:
OK, you'll need to learn quick, read read read here on the forums. Mistakes can brick your phone.

To get a Command prompt in Windows (XP) click: Start, then Run, then type "cmd" (without quotes) then click OK

If you have the SDK installed properly then you can try typing "fastboot getvar battery-voltage" (without quotes) and see what result you get.
[G1 General] Ashman46:
Okay I figured out how to use cmd, I'm running windows 7, now I have one huge problem, I type in the full name and everything with the "fastboot flash radio radio.img" then it tells me error: cannot load 'radio.img' what do I do now? Since I know I can't skip this step
[G1 General] Ashman46:
okay so I tried the "fastboot getvar battery-voltage" but all it says is "<waiting for device>" and nothing happens after that:(, so now what do I do?
[G1 General] pardus:
Are the contents of "givemeroot.zip in your "android-sdk-windows\tools" folder?
[G1 General] pardus:
Your phone has to be in fastboot mode: "For Dream/G1 users: power off, then hold "send or answer" button & press power button until you're into "FASTBOOT" mode, make sure the words HBOOT-1.33.2005... appear near the top of the phone's screen!" then connect it to USB...
[G1 General] Ashman46:
yeah all of it is there. i dont know maybe im missing something?
[G1 General] Ashman46:
I did that, and it still doesnt work, it says all of that at the top of the screen, and it says "fastboot usb" since it is connected to my pc
[G1 General] pardus:
My SDK is installed here: F:\sdk\tools

When I type the get voltage command after the command prompts' ">" then I get

F:\sdk\tools>

battery-voltage: 4139mV

finished. total time: 0.000s

Go back and recheck, maybe Win7 is causing an issue?
[G1 General] Ashman46:
so you think i should try on windows xp? but can i use the sdk tools from a flash drive then? cause i dnt have the java jdk on my xp machine, and im not allowed to download anything right now
[G1 General] pardus:
Not sure, I don't have Win7 so have no experience with it. Perhaps search the dream forum a bit, maybe someone has had the same issue?
[G1 General] Ashman46:
so i have searched every were but i cannot find a reason why it wont load my radio.img file, i finaly got my phone to respond to my pc when using cmd, but now i cant flash the radio, wat would happen if i tried to erase the radio and then try'd to flash it? cause right now im sooo sick of reading everything but the answer im looking for... any ideas?
[G1 General] boitu:
Hi Pardus, Thanks

I did everything that you said and works fine and I have 2.2 running.

However I have one annoying problem whenever my data connection goes to edge i suddenly can not recieve calls anymore all i need to do after that happen is search for the network again and it works.

is that any thing special that you did

thanks

[G1 General] pardus:
Not that I'm aware of, it works fine with my phone. Which 2.2 are you running and which radio?
[G1 General] boitu:
I am running on radio-2.22.27.08 and the 2.2.1 biffmod-V2.1 i also tried the cyanagen mods they are just the same too.

Thanks so much for your article, worked first time. However, I made a mistake with the rom's I downloaded and ended up with 'G1 T MOBILE DEV' now I am totally stuck. Tried re-installing but it only stops at the boot screen. Do you think you could help with some advice?
[G1 General] pardus:
Haven't worked with a Dream for ages so not sure if I can be much help. Can you get into recovery and/or fastboot? If you download the right ROM can you flash it over what you've got at the moment?

Try read up a bit through the forums, search for someone with the same problem.

[HD2 General] Antimus:
O2 are charging £15 for tethering ability (Which is a complete rip-off). Now as far as I'm aware, they have no way of knowing if the internet usage is from the phone or from a pc it's connected to, can someone confirm this?
[HD2 General] DMAND:
No there isnt, but over xmas I had it hooked upto the laptop and for the first time ever recieved a text message to say I had gone over my data allowence and to cut down, this was at 2.5 GB
[HD2 General] Archer:
That's ridiculous. I don't see how they can get away with removing software from a standard build of the phone and then charge you to have it back. I'm suprised, because I rate O2 as a company, but that's just underhanded theft as far as I'm concerned.

Anyway, to answer your question, no. There's no way they can tell if it's your phone or a connection vie the wifi router that's using the data connection.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
They aren't exactly charging you for the software, they're charging you for allowing a different kind of use of your data connection. £15 a month is what they charge for their standard "wireless broadband" package - intended for people using a USB dongle with a laptop. It has a 3GB/month limit and almost no restrictions in terms of what the contract says you can use it for. If you're merely using the "unlimited web bolt-on" then (according to the terms of fair usage policy) there's all sorts of things you're not allowed to do, tethering included, and the limit on data usage per month is much lower. I was on O2 for a bit, and, having received a warning the previous month, my internet connection was completely cut off when it hit 1GB the next month.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Okay, if you explain it as the phone being used like a dongle then I can see some sense there, but it's still nonsense when you take into account the fact that anyone with a bit of tech sense (or a user of these forums) will just install the wifi router and use it. Alternatively, a USB cable would negate the need for the wifi routing software completely. O2 wouldn't know, so they could only complain about the amount of traffic (if you exceeded your agreed "unlimited" limit.)

Just sounds like they're selling air in a can, if you ask me. Thankfully, I don't see how they can enforce it.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
slight difference re: £15 dongle price is that with the dongle you also get free access to "the cloud"and "bt open zone" wifi networks for your fifteen quid.
[HD2 General] terrytpot:
I've had mine for a few months now and after flashing to a non o2 ROM (tried 1.66 but now on Sone 1.33) I found that the wifi router wasn't any better than simply using a usb connection so I tend to stick with that if I dont want to use my 3 dongle...I try not to go crazy with the allowance from o2 and as such haven't had any -ve feedback from them so far...as for them finally getting round to coming up with a chargeable ammount for tethering, I'm surprised its taken them this long as it wasn't officially available at all when I upgraded to mine...when "negotiating" my deal I was initially offered 3gb at the bargain price of £405.00mth and that was on a £84mth+vat contract :eek: suffice to say that isn't what I went for :D
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Even if you pay the £15 tethering charge, there is still a 3GB cap and if you exceed this you will receive the text message and then be 'monitored' by them after that...

At the end of the day; we are just expected to do a bit of browsing, read the online papers, update Facebook and play around on Twitter, watch a few You Tube videos etc on our mobiles. The data bolt-ons are not supposed to cover laptop tethering. Sure the feature is available on a few smartphones these days but that is a manufacturer feature and not a network carrier feature. Basically you have to be very careful if you use the facility. The days of being able to use your mobile as an unlimited data internet modem are not here yet.
[HD2 General] Antimus:
I was under the impression that the limit for O2's unlimited web browsing bolt-on was around 250mb, not the 2gb that you guys are talking about.

Can't say as I'm wanting to spend £15 for the same thing, just with wireless access that I'll probably not use.

Can't wait for my phone contract to run out, I'm drooling over the HD2
[HD2 General] Beefheart:
They have no way of knowing providing you don't make them suspicious with ridiculous amounts of downloading.

I have used tethering for months, including on my iPhone before I got my HD2. For simple browsing and forum use you would have to make some serious effort to go anywhere near the allowed unlimited (hawk spit) download limit of 750mb a month. Especially if you do what I do and use Opera when tethered which allows very easy caching of images, especially useful for forums.

The only issue I find is O2's utterly s**t 3G network coverage but that's a different matter.
[HD2 General] Antimus:
3G coverage is pretty good according to their map. At least it's better than Orange where I live, I get signal in one corner of my house, thats it.

sucks
