Nice to see how people make use of BattClock features. Note that it is also possible with BattClock to have a background image and you can draw the text (e.g. battery percentage and time) over it. So you do not need another battery meter combination. You only need to have an empty button look and feel as background image for BattClock and just draw the content you like over it.
[HD2 General] Bib_x:
Can somebody post some background images for battclock/TouchLockPro?

Which size do we need?
[HD2 General] btyeh:
I'll give photoshopping an as an overlay image to match this particular battery icon later on. Though the illusion works pretty well as long as you are looking at it within a metre's length.

And shall I mention donating to ZuinigeRijder, if this idea takes off?
[HD2 General] keyuyi23:
Works Perfectly. Thank you very much!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Freakphil:
Hi there,

I tried now several ROMs (amazing what some of you guys are doing here!!) but experienced an awkward problem: some ROMs (which I flash through my PC) are working properly but won't let the phone establish a data connection, although the phone setup recognizes my provider and installs are provider credentials. What can be the reason for that? What is puzzling me is the fact, that this is the case only with some ROMs - any advice?

My second question would be in regards to a ROM I am looking for: of course everyone has his own favourite, but which one would you recommend with the following features: stability & speed, no funky skin/animations necessary, Winmo 6.5 or 6.1, German language (at least keyboard)

Thanks!!

Does anyone know what format the books have to be in and where do we put them in order to get them to work? thnkx a lot :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Polonortenho:
i recommend you Alreader2, it reads .txt, .docx, .doc, .pb2, .zip, and web files and u can keep the books anywhere u want
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] chrisloveskaos:
i think hes asking about ereader...they new to be in a .epub file...you can convert most files into this with a word processer ,,save them to doc/erader/books

then you go into settings/system ereader indexer and hit index...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] schmenge:
The books need to be in a fodler names My Documents\Peanut Press. This folder can be in main memory OR on your card. eReadr will install itself to main memory but you can easily move the .exe to the card if you want.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mstevens:
No.

eReader does not read .epub books

at all

.

It started on the Palm platform, so reads .pdb (Palm DataBase) files. With the right software, you can convert an .epub book into a .pdb one.

I have used eReader for many years and generally like it. I haven't found a good reader for .epub books that I like as much (including freda, which is probably the best one currently available).

schmenge is correct that the books (.pdb format and some .prc's) need to be in \My Documents\Peanut Press either in device memory or on the storage card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] MrAskani:
Are we talking about the eReader in a lot of the HD2 roms out now??

There are 10 examples in the folders on the internal storage. And there's also a books.db file. I just used a SQLLite 3 editor to edit it and inject my own info into the books.db file. And I also put an .epub file in the Books dir.

It opened after a hard reset. Painful process to get it into the db but hey, I can side swipe the .epub books there and don't have to scroll down continually.

So, the HTC HD2 DOES read epub files. I used Stanza Desktop to create one from an MS LIT format file. Copied it over, edited the books.db, and hard reset and it worked.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nemo0405:
thank you very much :) i did that and ran the eBook Indexer and it works like a charm :) :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mstevens:
I can't imagine why we would be. This is a Touch Pro 2 forum.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Mad Marc:
Because some TP2 ROMs use parts of the latest HD2 Sense with eReader Tab. DeepShining X2 for example.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] MrAskani:
What he said... :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] MCbrian:
On the other hand...tt's also not a Palm forum, so why would anyone be using .pdb -- Palm database -- files?

Yes, all of the many TP2 custom roms that have "LEO" in the title/name (and some that don't) are using Manila/Sense from the HD2 (aka LEO).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mstevens:
Because eReader was released for Windows Mobile many years (6? 7?) ago and PalmOS has gone the way of the dodo. You probably just skipped over my explanation ("...started on the Palm platform...) or are pretending to be unable to understand that in order to make a point.

The primary reasons for using that format (irrespective of platform or the history of the extension name) are:

1) People have already-purchased ebooks in that format and want to be able to read them without conversion.

2) They're still being sold by the bucketful.

3) Many high-quality free ebooks are readily available in .pdb format and not readily available in other formats.

The only current devices running eReader are WinMo, Symbian, Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac, and Blackberry devices. eBooks in .pdb form are sold at http://www.ereader.com/, owned by Barnes and Noble. It's a fairly large and well-established enterprise and I don't think it's unreasonable to make the assumption that, in the absence of all other identifying information, the OP was referring to the eReader from eReader.com.

Gotcha. All of those include the eReader tab? It must be pretty well-hidden on the ones I've flashed.

Since there are apparently now two apps called "eReader," one well-established for many years and one brand-new and bleeding-edge, it might not be a bad idea to specify to which of those one is referring.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Xandegar:
Only problem is that the settings applet does not seem to exist
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mstevens:
Just to add to the confusion, BOTH of the eReader apps that I know of are from Barnes & Noble. The original, .pdb-only version that started with Palm then went to Peanut Press is now owned by them. The new, .epub version from the Leo Reader tab is also from B-N.

Confusing and silly.

I can't think of any good reason they don't update their original eReader app so it can handle .epub books, which they also sell.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fortunz:
Nope. The sense ui tab is connected to Borders.

However, B&N's reader, which is not yet on WinMo, does use a lot of epub (in addition to some pdb) as you say. The reason they don't update the original ereader app is because fictionwise/ereader.com have remained under their own management and retained their own online store (once, the largest ebook store in existence). Since they don't sell epub, they see no need for epub support.

mstevens made the correct assumption. If someone asks about eReader support on any winmo forum, I'd suggest pdb PML files. If they wanted to know about the tab, they should have specified. "eReader" is the name of a very specific and incredibly popular application, not to be applied to anything that happens to read books.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pzumk:
Hello,

is it possible to build an App which does what the title sais?

It should read the music player info or something and sends the hashtag "#nowplaying" + the artist and the songtitle to twitter.

It just needs some settings to change the twitter name and password and maybe "only send every 3rd played song" or something like that.

I don't have time or the knowledge for the app but maybe someone of you could do it?

That'd be really cool :)

Edit // please move to x or x
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Thats BS:
Tunewiki, on the market, already does it, to both twitter and facebook. Its free.:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pzumk:
Hmm, alright but I don't want an additional player and tunewiki also needs registration..

just a simple leightweight app which tweets the songs :D

Thanks anyway!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mikebeatrice:
If I was getting a tweet from you every 10 minutes with the song you were listening to, you'd get unfollowed pretty quickly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pzumk:
Agreed but that's why the app should have an option to only tweet every x'th tweet..

oh well, this might be a bad app idea.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stewart1988:

Lurker turned poster.

On the Motorola Droid, there was a hack by "xeudoxus" which allowed for the YouTube app to default to High Quality playback.

Any idea if this will work on the Nexus One? I presume not since that is an Motorola phone, and this is HTC. If not, has anyone ported that over to work on the Nexus?

Thanks in advance.

(P.S. apologies if this is the wrong section. I started to make this post under "Themes and Apps," but also didn't seem right.)
[Nexus One General] j.bruha:
I was just about to post this same topic. I'm going to try the Motorola hack today to see if it works. If not, I'd very much like to see this added to the Nexus One. The quality of YouTube videos over 3G is almost unwatchable on such a high res display.
[Nexus One General] rockky:
absolutely'd love it....big case of beer to the dev that does this!

Iphone had a similar hack........loved it: 'fooled' youtube, or any app, into thinking it was on wifi
[Nexus One General] Ssantos6981:
isn't the option built-in?

I always watch HQ on 3G when I want. I just click on menu, more, and then the option "play High Quality".

Works for me just fine. I don't know if there is a hack to make it default though.
[Nexus One General] scuzzy19:
The youtube app on the nexus one doesnt have a HQ option.
[Nexus One General] unremarked:
Correct. Just seeing if there was a hack made for the Nexus One. The one for the Droid includes a 2.1 firmware version, but I'm unsure.

The slight disadvantage, beyond the button clicks, to that procedure is that the clip then has to rebuffer for the HQ version. At least, in my experience, anyway.

A few clips and a couple extra seconds of buffer time aren't huge things. Would just be nice to have the HQ version be default

It does as of five minutes ago(Double checked before posting). As quoted above tap the Menu key, More, Watch in High Quality.
[Nexus One General] rockky:
Disruptive to have to do it with each video tho....would like it at least as a settings default option
[Nexus One General] seanhassars:
it does if you're on 3g or wifi
[Nexus One General] scuzzy19:
I was referring it to a global option and not for each video you watch I knew about that but for the older youtube apps on android it was a global option.

[Nexus One General] cypher21:
That i know, but if it has the HQ hack, can't you set HQ as default?
[Nexus One General] reddv1:
Here is how you hack YouTube to default into HQ:

1. Put the youtube.apk on your sdcard.

2. Get Root Explorer from the Market.

3. Using Root Explorer, navigate to the sdcard folder and long press on the youtube.apk and click "Move"

4. Navigate to the /system/app folder

5. Click the button up top that says "Remount as R/W"

6. Click the button on the bottom that says "Paste" then confirm overwrite.

7. Now you need to set the permissions on that file: Long press on the youtube.apk and click Permissions. Check User Read and Write, Group Read, and Others Read. Uncheck everything else and click Ok.

7. Click the button up top that says "Remount as R/O"

8. Reboot, you're done

Don't long press on the screen. Simply tap the menu button instead. Sometimes if you do it right away after opening a video, it won't open. If so, try again or let a couple of seconds pass first.

Youtube not in app drawer

Ok, let me start out by saying I'm dumb and didn't back up the original youtube.apk.

I'm on a G1 CM 4.2.15.1

The youtube app isn't listed in my app drawer, but I was able to try and start it in gesture search. When clicked, this is what I got in my log:

3. "adb remount"

4. "adb shell"
