no idea tbh.

i just ran all people and looked at the processes running on my device and it doesnt show up as a seperate entity... makes me think this might not be possible?!!?!

let me know if you manage to crack it.

Incidently... i set my manila LSK to launch the camera app as "all people" can be accessed when you hit the phone dialer with left hard key.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Try this for the path...

Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page

:)
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
Last thing, I guess I can just use a mobile reg editor to do all this and then a soft reset?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yes mate. I plump for CeRegEditor as you can do it on your PC via ActiveSync, but obviously any reg editor will do.
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
I like IBE registry editor for winmo as a pure standard registry editor.

But i have started using dotfreds task manager for reg edits as it has so much capability. Not just a reg editor but a task manager (the best imo), plus endless amounts of other stuff.

BTW @JohnC... did you try that path yourself? does it work etc? where did you get that info from?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Completely OT (and I slate people for that normally) - I've got dotfred's task manager on my storage card, but never actually used it. I didn't realise it did reg editing too. Is it finger friendly (I use Total Commander, so most things are finger friendly in comparison!)

Edit:

I've got a Dutty ROM on my phone and it adds the "All People" link as standard. I just got that value out of the registry. Would love a list of all the Manila:// commands available!
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
Awesome!

Slowly getting my head around WinMo and its foibles - just need to spend some time in a kitchen and I might start making my own ROMs to my taste...we'll see though as the missus hates I play with it enough as it is!!!

I was using Dutty's ROM but the V.06 had the gash outlines on the buttons so went back to stock 1.66...might try v.07 though
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
Thats what i was hoping you'd link me too! lol

DotFreds is excellent... its not that finger firendly but i forgive that as it is so powerful. Its shows me more about my winmo device then task manager does on desktop windows.

I have it assigned to long press send key which is extremely handy. Once you start it... click on the drop down menu (top right of the interface) and scroll through all of its options.... a truly epic program imo.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Nice one. Think I'll have a play with that tonight. Cheers :)
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
for ref, that path you put worked a treat - nice one!!
[HD2 General] Archer:
Glad to hear it. That's one for the bookmarks! :)
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
now if I could just get rid of the CoPilot trial I'd be happy!!
[HD2 General] Archer:
You can just delete it mate. Delete the CoPilot folder in program files, delete the shortcut, delete the folder on the storage card and it's gone!

:)
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
yeah but if I hard reset it its back - would just be easier to get a ROM with just that reg edit and CoPilot gone and I'd acutually be happy for now!
[HD2 General] Archer:
Sounds like Dutty's ROM to me ;)
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
does v07 have the old soft keys or them gash now button ones? if it's the former ill get it on as i downloaded it this morning before work...
[HD2 General] Archer:
I got this one...

http://htcpedia.com/duttys_leo_hg_multi_lang_v_9f8ef5533cf709534/soft/htc-leo-rom.html

It's a 6.5 version, not a 6.5.3, so no silly buttons on the menu bar.
[HD2 General] alecs:
Unfortunately two key PIM features though available in Windows Mobile have been hidden by the Sense UI

1. Snooze by N minutes

2. Attendees meeting acceptance tracking

1. Snooze by N minutes

When you get a reminder on the HD2 for a pending meeting you only get the option to "dismiss" or "snooze" In Windows Mobile (for as far back as I can recall) you always had the option to snooze by number of minutes you got to choose from a drop down menu i.e. 5 minutes before, 15 minutes before, 1 hour etc). This was a very useful function as you got a reminder closer to the time rather than get a reminder every 5 minutes as with the HD2. This can get really annoying if someone has booked a meeting with you with a reminder over 15 minutes ahead or you have many meetings. You end up spending loads of time just hitting snooze.

2. Attendees meeting acceptance tracking

When you book a meeting with several people windows mobile shows the invitees of that meeting and their acceptance reply i.e. declined, accepted, no response. Again the SENSE UI has hidden this so you just get a list on invitees.

It is very useful to me as you need to know if the meeting is worth running based on reponse to the meeting invite.

Anyone got any suggestions/tweaks etc?
[HD2 General] kilrah:
1) BsB Tweaks has a setting to re-enable the time options in the notifications.

2) Make a shortcut to Windows\Calendar.exe, and you get the standard WM calendar view :)
[HD2 General] thegeezer:
hi, i want to be able to choose to snooze my appointments or tasks for a selectable time, can this be done? whty the heck have they taken this option out??

[G1 Android Development] bolmedias:
Please dont flame me for this. I know that it's technically in the wrong section but the people who read the Development section are likely to know a bit more about this topic.

Anyway, Google Buzz. It's new, and it's pretty cool. It's built-in to the new version of Maps, but the Web App (buzz.google.com) will only work in Android 2.0 and up. I remember that before Google changed the Maps Navigation back-end, making an edit to the build.prop would make Navigation work on 1.6. So, would something similar work for Buzz?

I'm at school and I have no access to a computer with the SDK on it so I can't get at my build.prop at the moment via ADB. Could somebody test this if they get a chance?

Again...I know that this is technically the wrong section, but please be gentle with me :P
[G1 Android Development] yukkio:
I think If you modify browser's user agent you could use buzz. I do it with firefox.

BR.
[G1 Android Development] pennmw:
Why would you need to modify your browser to use Buzz...

Just open up Google Maps and it is already built into Maps 4.0, like you said in your msg...

Or do you not want to have to go that extra step?...

I mean yes it would be nice for it to work without having to use Maps, but why make extra work?

It's just a thought....

[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
Buzz on the map works for 1.6

Im running it on Super D1.8
[G1 Android Development] bolmedias:
In the Browser? really? Doubt it.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Try the build.prop's I put up earlier. It DOEN'T work in the browser on 1.6 (which is what you want).
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
Like a few other people have stated. Why aren't you using the new Google Maps? It has Buzz. I've been using it all day. Commenting and posting.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
And as he has stated, he wants it in the browser.
[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
Oh ok yeah my bad I corrected myself.

but yeah I dont think its gunna be available for 1.6ers anytime soon. maybe in the future? :D
[G1 Android Development] bolmedias:
The Maps integration does NOT allow you access to all of the Buzz features. It only allows you to post, and comment on other Buzz posts.
[G1 Android Development] jzerocsk:
AND the Buzz in maps only allows public posts. I don't really care to share location-based status updates to everyone in the world.

It's pretty goofy that the web app doesn't work in the 1.6 browser...REALLY goofy that it doesn't work in CyanogenMod with the backported Eclair browser.

The ROM cookers are doing a great job but it's really annoying that Goog seems to have basically EOL'ed Android 1.x after barely a year of service.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
Google Buzz works with Maps 4.0 on cyan 2.x rom but it breaks multi-touch for some reason.
[G1 Android Development] bolmedias:
Oh wow...IT WORKS!

Will create a new thread on how to make it work.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I would just rename this thread
[G1 Android Development] bolmedias:
Maybe.

Strike the part about it working, though. There appears to be a catch. Just pushing the build.prop enables the web app but causes a Force Close of Maps whenever you try and run Maps.

Testing what happens if you push the build.trout.prop as well right now.
[G1 Android Development] t_rob76:
I cant get it to post anything in maps, but then I am running OE1.1.5Beta. got it in the browser though.
[G1 Android Development] chucky80:
I am running 1.6 and all I did was install maps 4.0 from this forum through terminal and then went to market and it prompted me for update with google maps buzz and i did. Now I am running official google 4.0 from market on my 1.6 FastTest rom.
[G1 Android Development] bolmedias:
Okay, it turns out that there is currently no way to get both a working Maps application (at all) and the Buzz web app on Android 1.6. Looks like we'll just have to wait for Google.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paggps:
Hello,

I use my Xperia everyday, but sometimes, for some kind of travels or situations, I like to go with a cheaper, smaller and lighter device, which is my Qtek 8300 (Tornado). It is Windows Mobile 5.0, and works perfectly.

I would like to know if it is possible to copy the contacts database from my Xperia to the Tornado, NOT using Activesync/Outlook. Is it possible by just copying a file.

Also, It would be desirable to copy also the calendar file, but this is not too important for me.

I have read and searched all the forum, not finding this answer...

Thank you very much. This is a great forum!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhvoltagenh:
well if you use the same storage card in both phones

then my app would work

[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
how!? in opera mini you have the option to select image quality. I can't find this option in opera on hd2. To me, it seems like it is set to medium.

Registry tweak?
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
There are LOADS of tweaks for Opera floating around these forums... do a search and you shall find!
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
I did mate, can't find anything to do with increasing the image resolution. Only thing i found was increasing the resolution of the 'back' thumbnails, which i've done
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
try this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=627441
[HD2 General] Archer:
I think he's referring to something that was discussed a while ago, but I can't find the link right now.

Basically, it looks like it's your network provider compressing images for bandwidth reasons. If you find an image that looks a bit pap and then close Opera, start wifi, open Opera again, clear the cache and then look at the image again it will look better.

No way round this was ever found as this was obviously in the hands of the network provider (that's if it's the same issue).
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
Ah yes... that was Virgin who do that.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Opera Mini has this setting because the content is read and converted by their servers to reduce size and suit your screen. Opera Mobile downloads the "real" images from the web itself, so there's obviously no setting, you get the images how they were posted, or how they're delivered to you by your provide if they do something like mentioned before.
[HD2 General] Archer:
O2 as well mate. I had the same problem.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
balls, im on o2 :( thanks for the info
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
having said that, the pics via the facebook app are perfect, so why would they be of a higher resolution than via opera?
[HD2 General] Archer:
It may only be HTTP traffic that's getting compressed, and the facebook app is more than likely connecting on a port other than the usual HTTP port (80). I don't know that as a fact, but as a developer it's what I consider a sensible guess!
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
It seems to be specifically HTTP requests for JPEG files that are affected by this. You'll notice that PNG images aren't affected in Opera, while JPEGs are affected in both Opera and IE. Skyfire dodges the problem, naturally. There is actually a setting in Opera that is supposed to have this effect: it's called Turbo Mode and is accessible via opera:config in the user preferences section. But we all get this problem with it turned off (which is the default) and if the same thing happens in IE then clearly it's not an Opera issue. You get the same problem in Opera 10 beta as well. Turning turbo mode on or off has little effect as the opera turbo compression is indistinguishable from what the network does by itself.

http://www.edandersen.com/2008/07/13/iphone-o2-fix-the-image-compression

I'm not on o2 these days, but this may help. Unless it's ithing specific.
[HD2 General] Archer:
That makes a very clear difference. Here's a before, after & wifi shot of Shasarak's ***** :p

Edit:

If I invert the wifi aqcuired image and set the transparency to 50%, when I put it over the image from the original data connection there is quite a lot of pixelation, but when I put it over the one I got with the new data connection it's pure grey, which is what I'd expect with an exact duplicate. Basically, the above fix does give uncompressed images.

Good times :)
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Interesting. I wonder if there's a similar trick for T-Mobile?
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
Does this apply to turbo mode too ?
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
LOL :) will check that fix out, great stuff

EDIT: can you tell me the path to change this setting as the link is for an iphone and i'm thick
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yes mate.

Go to the settings tab, menu, all settings, connections, connections, advanced (tab), select networks and click 'edit' in the section that says "programs that connect to the internet..."

Next, since we don't want to overwrite your existing internet connection settings, click 'new'. Call it something relevant (if you wish), change the modem to 'Cellular Line (GPRS)' and click next.

Set 'Access name' to mobile.o2.co.uk and click next.

Set username to bypass and password to password then click finish.

You're then given a choice of connections to use for the internet. Select the one you just created and click OK a few times to get out.

There is one problem I've noticed with this thought. I couldn't use my wifi until I switched back to the other connection. I can't see why this would be the case, but it was.

Hope that helps mate :)
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Well, that's the O2 customers sorted. What about us saps on T-Mobile?
[HD2 General] Archer:
I did google for T-Mobile to see if there was a similar fix, but there was so much about mobile dongles and fixing the problem on PCs/Macs, that any answer to this specific question would be swamped and difficult to find.

Have you tried wading through the google search results?
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Excellent stuff all done. Am i right in saying that pages i've already loaded will still have the original low resolution. I ask because the google logo still looks the same.

If i'm right, how do i clear the cache?
[HD2 General] Archer:
In Opera, open the menu and go to settings, privacy and delete cache. It should look better after that. I did notice that it looks best in landscape mode. When you zoom in portrait mode it's actually stretching images bigger than they really are, so you get some pixelation again.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
No, I'm waiting for you to do it. ;)
[HD2 General] Archer:
I'm waiting for f1rick to do it ;)
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] davidgee:
Does anyone know how to stop the Airtime Provider from installing a link in my Windows/Start menu/Programs folder so that a widget appears on my Programs screen? If I delete it, it re-appears. Thank you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
You can't actually remove the program, but you can unlock the shortcuts you see so you can delete them (and they'll stay deleted). It involves some registry edits, but I've attached a .cab that should do that for you. Copy it to your phone (I suggest to the storage card), and run the .cab from there. It will make the reg changes for you, and then you should be able to go to start-programs and delete the shortcuts to whichever of the carrier-provided apps you don't want to use.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] davidgee:
Thanks for this.

Actually I am using an unlocked GSM phone in India and the Airtime Provider keeps installing a widget to access it's services. I don't think there's any program there. I CAN already delete the shortcut and it stays deleted until the next time I switch on the phone when the Airtime provider seems to reinstall it. So I'm wondering if this CAB is the answer or not.

Can you tell me what it does exactly as I don't want to change anything else. Does running this CAB give the option of what to uninstall? But as I say, I am already able to uninstall it. They keep reinstalling!
[Touch HD General] tsalta:
Hello guys i have a question i saw already that many of the ROM`s use Ati TG01 drivers some of the ROM have NEOs and Ati combinet so here is the question.

Im using NRG ROM from my signature and i know that ENERGY not coocking drivers and lets this free up to everyone choice to install what kind of tweaks and drivers he/she want.

Im using NEOs driver pack 3 in all ROM`s since i use my Blackstone and i think for me work perfect, but because i don`t know anything of the Ati TG01 edition drivers im asking you here a question.. From where i can find this drivers to test it by myself.

I Found a Thread by Chainfire for that Driver but its writen that the drivers are for HD2 and Snapdragon proccesor so i think we speak for diferent drivers because im talking for Ati TG01 Drivers for Blackstone?!

Can anyone provide me a link where i can read more about this, or from where i can download them... and what i can expect from this Drivers.

The Last question is i never had a LOCKUP for almost one year and when i flash a ROM with Ati TG01 drivers i have LOCKUP so i flash another ROM and the problem gone

So do is posible to have a LOCKUP from that drivers?

Thanks in advance
[Touch HD General] raptoro07:
I thought TG01 also was snapdragon
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Not sure about finding to much info, but the 4 drivers I've used (NeoS, Magnif, Chainfire & topaz) can be found here (bottom of first post ;))

As your discussion is on drivers, its probably best that you continue it in that this thread as its not just for Neo drivers any more.

Rick
[Touch HD General] tsalta:
Yes and Thank you the reason to open this Thread is just because not have alot info and for example the ROM BlackstoneHange and few others have ATI Drivers included so i was asking what are this drivers and etc? Because when i search drivers for Blackstones i dont find any ATI Drivers that are for our Blackstones

The Latest TOPIX ROM also include this ATI Drivers also.. so what are this drivers exactly im confused!!!
[Touch HD General] accountabc:
I've been wondering thesame thing. I always thought that the ATI TG01 drivers were there to replace the neos driver pack, but I just saw that both are used in the Blackstonhenge rom...
[Touch HD General] raptoro07:
Yeah, we need a breakdown with all the new drivers available, what they change and what dlls they use.
[Touch HD General] tsalta:
Yes exactly also in the latest TOPIX Rom this drivers are coocked so my question is because i get confused from all this Drivers we can use combination of ATI Drivers with NEOs drivers but from where are this drivers exactly because here on XDA i only Found ATI Drivers for Snapdragoon HD 2 not for Blackstone and also i want to read what the ATI Drivers are supposet to do?!

Thanks in advance
[Touch HD General] tsalta:
UP...

Over 500 peoples saw this Thread and no one know about this ATI Drivers for Blackstone?!? I don`t believe it.

Hope someone can give us LIGHT about this question

Thanks in advance

Use at your OWN risk!!!

Attached C++ class for using proximity sensor.

And small example of using, which printing to debug output changing of proximity status.

Problems:

1. By default when proximity sensor enabled - screen will be switched off when proximity detected. Use method SetAutoScreenOff to disable auto switching off the screen. But when screen switched off and proximity changed from detected => no proximity, screen will be switched on. So you need to disable proximity sensor as soon as you do not want switching screen on when no proximity.

2. Phone Canvas (dialer skin) using same way of enabling proximity sensor, so, if you do not want to interference with dialer use class constructor parameter handleActiveCalls=true

3. maybe something... but don't remember

Using

Create instance of class. Call Enable().

Set proximity detection status changed signaling method:

- with event signaling: SetProximityChangedEvent

- with window message: SetMonitorWindow

To switch off proximity sensor call Disable().

If you found bug or have advice - post here or pm me please.

If somebody creates port to managed code - it's will be nice as i think :)
