Installed it via HTC Sync.

Hey Man... thanks for that gallery 3d software... works fine..
[Desire Themes and Apps] zakirsd:
hey people i have a quick question i have a lot of pictures so would that slow down the program? Im only asking because i downloaded some 3d gallery from the marketplace and it was soooooo slow.
[Desire Themes and Apps] andycted:
Android 3d gallery has a weird and slow way to index pictures, which sometimes starts by itself randomly and takes a while. Even applications based on it suffer from the same, like flikie.

I don't like it for this and many other reasons

Hi!

I`m from Belarus and my English not very well. I`m sorry.

I hope you can help me.

I have Huawei 8230 android 2.1

All works perfectly. But there is one problem at change of rotation.

When I overturn back all it is normalized.

What is a problem?
[Desire Themes and Apps] bridgstfer:
Hi Guys,

Have you seen this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804161

It is apparently a fix when allows the Media100 camera files folder to be displayed in descending order showing more recent first. However I think it requires flashing - do you think you could build this into your .APK so we can just reinstall the program?

Also what would be nice is to be able to have a shortcut from your homescreen to go straight into the camera folder.

Does anyone know why this program takes so long to index and create shortcuts for the pics - i have kept my phone awake for 45minutes now and the spinner in the corner is still going despite it generating the camera folder thumbs (which took 15mins). I am surprised a phone with the power of the desire takes this long to do basic tasks.

Thanks

Follow-up

The guy from the other thread (Jack_R1) pointed out you can find the adk already in the zip file provided and install from there - works a treat for me now + very happy.

Do you know if there is any way to improve the performance of it loading the high res version of a photo once I select from the thumbnail? Do i need a faster SD card - its taking about 2 or 3 seconds to change from the blurry thumb to detail photo which is unacceptable compared to the normal HTC one.

Cheers

Hi,

I would like to install gallery3D for my htc desire that use a 2.2 official HTC android rom.

I was said to extract gallery3D.apk from CM7.X but in this thread I read there is also gallery3Dfroyo.apk

Do you know which do I need to install ? because cm7.X is 2.3 android version and i'm afraid it could not be comptable with my 2.2 version ...

thanks in advance for your help

[Desire Themes and Apps] charlescaz:
Gallery3dfroyo.apk , as you are running froyo not gingerbread :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] jamiejako:
Is there a way to choose which all folders are to be displayed in the gallery? Like, in the sense gallery, there is an option to show/hide folders. I never found an option in the 3D Gallery, which is why I switched to QuickPic.
[Desire Themes and Apps] charlescaz:
unfortunately not for what you are trying to do , quickpic AFAIK the best for those sort extras ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] iostrym:
thanks, that's what I have done. it works.
[Desire Themes and Apps] beartiger:
I think you can make a file in the folders you want hidden called .nomedia and this will stop them being scanned for media content in the first place.

There are also other options. Read below:

And see what I found (see attached image).

I think this will be enabled on HTC retail version, but not on T-Mobile version.

Probably ...

PS: To get the manual: Connect you phone to a PC, Mount the SD Card and there you will find the manual
[Desire General] irkan:
Loool that was fast!!!

great ... I hope what ur saying is true :D thanx for sharing
[Desire General] cez10:
so it seems that T-mobile version is kind of like a pre-retail for everyother provider?
[Desire General] AudunXetrov:
Nice find! :D
[Desire General] patasenko:
That would make sense as Vodafone in the Netherlands are getting them 14-15th of April.
[Desire General] Mister-C:
I think the screenshot in the manual is showing an early version of the desire ROM, but was later removed. The manual doesn't seem to describe it anywhere as a feature.

There's a page on slashgear (search for Desire vs Nexus, I'm a new user so can't provide link) where somebody has left a comment suggesting that voice to text is currently exclusive to the Nexus, hence I think it was there in the desire rom but had to be disabled.
[Desire General] bcmobile:
Welcome aboard!

There is a thread about this here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=650076 which includes a link to the video you refer to.
[Desire General] gogol:
I cannot think any single reason why such feature is removed when it was there before.

As I understood, the voice to text is a standard feature of Android 2.1, and not HTC.

How about the past HTC android 2.1 devices such as HTC Legend?

Is it not compatible with the HTC sense UI?

Someone should try this custom HTC keyboard, it has voice-to-text and other enhancements:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=624416

Btw, probably we need to email HTC and/or T-Mobile to have clarification about this once and for all.
[Desire General] salahag:
I won't be surprised if this feature was disabled in HTC Desire and Legend. One reason comes to my mind is the lack of the extra mic for noise cancellation, as it must help in voice-to-text working properly in certain conditions.

Nevertheless, even if that was the case, I'm sure as soon as Desire roms start cooking, this will be the first thing we'll see.

But I am wondering how clicking on that "voice-to-text/settings" button would work? is it going to be a 2-clicks process to activate? that kind of sux!
[Desire General] Mister-C:
Glad to be here! I'll be even gladder when Clove deliver my Sim free handset...

The vid in the link relates to a Nexus phone, so this muddies things a little. However, I've seen other vids from the MWC showing that the keyboard on the Desire did indeed at one point have the mic icon on it.

Some people are speculating that retail/sim only units with have the feature enabled, but I don't think that will happen. As said above, I think it was simply that even though V2T is a standard feature of Android 2.1, it probably wasn't very effective without the noise cancellation hardware.

Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see just how well the Desire can do this - I've seen some videos of the V2T in action on the Nexus and its quite impressive.
[Desire General] bcmobile:
There are pics of an Australian delivered model (Telstra branded) here:

Have you tried another Keyboard? "Better Keyboard" for example has the Speech to text key.
[Desire General] trice1921:
Just tried Better Keyboard. When i press the speech button i get:

"your phone does not have speech recognition engine"

I'll be a little annoyed if the sim free version has it.
[Desire General] irkan:
ouch, .. i hope this have nothing to do with the fact that the desire doesnt have that stupid "noise cancellation".

and on the contrary, i would be delighted if the sim free version has it xP
[Desire General] gogol:
If the retail unlocked version does not have it, then I will be very annoyed because they advertised it:

http://www.desirehtc.com/

Enter then click Android.
[Desire General] Mister-C:
You're right, I quote their website "Imagine sending texts or emails simply by talking to your phone. Now do it, we're there."

I have sent them an e-mail asking if and when "we'll be there"...

Thats bad... Perhaps its just because of the T-Mobile Rom. But even this wouldnt make any sense.
[Desire General] lukaswat:

Check this out.
[Desire General] gogol:
That one is not T-Mobile version, I guess ...

The problem here is with the T-Mobile version, which does not include the voice to text "engine".

Or probably it (the engine) is disabled ... accidentally before shipping the device.
[Desire General] lukaswat:
That's why im posting it. They probably left it out on the t-mobile version..
[Desire General] n-j-f:
Unfortunately, I am sceptical of it being pre-installed in the Desire. If it had been, surely they would have described how to use it in the user guide? One picture which includes it by chance is more likely a mistake.

I really hope I am wrong!

Another 11 days to find out!
[Desire General] gogol:
I think people need to call / email HTC and ask if their own unlocked retail version has indeed the voice to text feature (I did email them this morning).
[Desire General] superior89:
take a look at this video:

hxxp://xxx.youtube.com/watch?v=pZMURlBnUuk

s2t seems to be preinstalled in the japanese version - so i guess it should be no problem to get the hands on it for the european ones!
[Desire General] gogol:
Oh well, forget about the voice-to-text on HTC Desire.

Here is the latest review from Matt and Tracy, they should have the latest and final firmware of HTC Desire retail version ... and it does not have it :(

His personal theory is ... shocking if that's true though. I saw video the v2t can recognize Indian accent very well.
[Desire General] theogre:
I found the following app labelled "Verizon 2.1 Keyboard With Voice Input" online. Having installed it I now have voice to search on the desire! It works on better keyboard and on google search widgets. I have not tried elsewhere yet.

I found it on the web site below.

link to warez site removed and then search for verizon

I have no idea about the website but the apk seems to work well. As for the voice recognition. With my accent it is not great but still fun.
[Desire General] irkan:
dude! try in SMS and messaging in general!! :D
[Desire General] theogre:
If I use the android keyboard then the accuracy seems much better. It is working well in the messaging app and recognizing quite long sentences with only the odd word incorrect.
[Desire General] irkan:
very cool! thanx for the input! now i dont give a **** wither the keyboard is built in or not in the desire, thanx to that app :rolleyes: its free right?
[Desire General] theogre:
Yeah it is free. Well at least is free from that website...
[Desire General] gogol:
Android keyboard = the one from Nexus One?

I think you need to have "root access", or not?

How come different keyboard = different accuracy? Because if I understand correctly, the keyboard is just to "launch" the voice-to-text interface (and its engine to process). So, all voice-to-text keyboards should have the same accuracy ....

Strange ... any other user tried this?
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
Just tried it but cant seem to access and use the keyboard though
[Desire General] theogre:
Have you tried going to

1. settings

2. language & keyboard

3. tick android keyboard

4. click android keyboard settings

5. make sure voice input is ticked.

Then in messaging or gmail long press on an input box and select android keyboard
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
thanks it worked
[Desire General] jpxdude:
Thanks for the recommendation, i'm surprised how quickly the voice input works! Some of the mistakes crack me up, but for very simple messages its surprisingly accurate.
[Desire General] scotch whisky:
This works a lot better than I imagined. I tried "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" and was staggered to find it converted it to text perfectly. I also tried various Google seaches with very good results.

Doubt if I will use it much but it certainly impresses people.
[Desire General] Mister-C:
This is all good news. However, I've just had a message back from HTC regarding this and here is their reply:

"In regards to speech to text...What you need to do is go to menu/settings/text to speech and install the voice data needed for this service."

I haven't got my Desire yet, but maybe somebody would like to give this a go. Of course, it may be that the HTC person is confusing text to speech with speech to text...
[Desire General] gogol:
Probably after installing this, the "voice to text" will be enabled :D

Damn, I wish I have my device now to try !
[Desire General] irkan:
that is "TEXT TO SPEECH" not "SPEECH TO TEXT"!!!!!!!! i dont believe they are the same, think the customer service guy mixed it up
[Desire General] nintendolinky:
I have all ready done this, it does not work on the stock HTC keyboard, if you install the modifies Android keyboard mentioned earlier, it works great. You will need to install the voice data for it to work
[Desire General] gogol:
I know ... I know ... I know that.

I just thought that you need to have that "data" in order to make something like "Better Keyboard" works with the voice-to-text (voice input).

Because as reported earlier, someone tried Better Keyboard and it does not work.

But we read report user using Verizon keyboard and it works ....

Don't know more now ...
[Desire General] gogol:
See? It works that way ...
[Desire General] sh500:
Just tried it out. Works pretty well; messaging, Web pages etc.

Oh and the swearing censor works too!
[Desire General] gogol:
Which keyboard do you use? the "Verizon" one?
[Desire General] Parg:
What is this all about with this "Verizon Keyboard".

Is it still the HTC Keyboard just in another version? I wouldn't want to have the Nexus One Keyboard on my Desire!
[Desire General] sh500:
Yep that one.
[Desire General] irkan:
that SUX!!!! .... does it sense sucks? Lol
[Desire General] cez10:
hope theres a way to remove it lol :p

anyone tried some other languages than english ? :)
[Desire General] M Dawg:
I would like to know this too.

Do you actually EXCHANGE the whole keyboard.

I really want to know what it is I download and install.
[Desire General] bentclark:
Voice to text / multi-touch trade off

I got voice to text to work pretty well (only using the stock android keyboard) and was really happy until I noticed that my multi-touch couldn't work while the android keyboard was in use.

Has anybody found a way around this yet?
[Desire General] blackfox888:
you need to soft reset the phone when the android keyboard is enabled.

Im not new to WinMo and I'v had the HD2 for about 3 days now but coming from Android like most of u, and was wondering what solutions you have found for software. To me the Windows Market SUXs big time right now. nothing good worth downloading (free anyways) and i have noticed theres not manny, to no choices when it comes to photo editing or manipulating software

where can i get some software to make the phone more usable. seems very limited right out of the box for me and i wanna "Android it up" a bit if its at all possible... and i dont mean install android apps

i miss the:

photo editing apps in general, not just android ones

googlesky - i know, i know, its a google app but something similar should be out there.. no?

googlemaps - (see googlesky note) (winmo doesnt have turn by turn on the included googlemaps...). however, i dont blame google for the limitations, it is their software.

extra messaging apps

a working barcode scanner - very useful app

any type of flash?

so whats everyone doing/using??

thank

rlee
[HD2 General] NZtechfreak:
Take a look here for what you need, this is the real marketplace for WM 6.5.x!

For Flash Skyfire browser helps, and Smaberg has a version of Opera 10 with flash enabled.

I know there are several barcode readers, don't use it, but they're available, as are alternate messaging apps/UIs.

Don't know about photo editing apps, but I'm sure they must be out there too...
[HD2 General] Archer:
Windows mobile is a far easier platform to get software from. You just search the internet, as you would for PC software. You can always look on xda too, and remember that if you do a search in the HD2 forum, you're only searching a very small portion of the site. You're better searching the whole forum. Wacky.banana kindly posted a thread about searching. It's stickied in this forum.
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Hi, You could try http://freewarepocketpc.net. It also has it's own app that you can install on your HD2 to download applications directly to it. Yes the WinMo apps are fragmented all over the place with no single point of download. A lot are crap, but the same can be said for Android and iPhone. You hear stories that developers are giving up on WinMo 6. For bar codes i use i-nigma and Mobiletag but they are far from perfect.

Not sure about your impression that most of the HD2 users come from an Android background, interesting point of view ;) A lot are interested in porting Android to it though :)
[HD2 General] rlee008:
NZtechfreak thanks for the replies, trying out the skyfire browser right now.

johncmolyneux, im far from a windows noob, but for this phone i have searched the web, both through yahoo and google, have searched through forums and all the software i find either isnt compatible or i dont find what im looking for exactly. As i posted above, picture editing software should be common but there is not one single app available that runs properly.

[HD2 General] tpr007:
Thanks for that link - installed the appstore from that site. Cool

As someone moving from Android, I've been a little disappointed thus far too.
[HD2 General] rlee008:
i didnt mean all but alot of us jumped onto the bandwagon in hopes that android will be available to us in the near future;);):p

and i wouldnt say im disapointed with the HD2, in fact i think its awesome! its just different from what i've been using for a year and a half. but this phone has features that would make it hard to go back to android hardware so lets load up the sofware and see what happens!

[HD2 General] Archer:
So you've not seen the HTC Evo then? ;)
[HD2 General] rlee008:
yeah i have seen the evo but that's coming to Sprint not to t-mobile so my options are a bit limited cause I'm still under contract with them. i got hopes that the evo will help with the development of Android on the HD2.

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] radzix27:
I think best way will be boot Android with folder from SD Card (for example Storage Card/Android -> and put all files in that folder)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] leemoss84:
android has to be in the root of the sd card
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] radzix27:
I know but maybe somebody can change something for boot from any folder (if it's possible)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] leemoss84:
pretty sure the reason for having to have it in the root is because of speed.if you start puting it into folders its just gonna slow it down.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] radzix27:
Maybe something is with it ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
It is possible to create more than one partition on an sd-card. I do not know, how wm handles this. When i found my old micro-sdcard i will give that a try :D

Anyway, it might be easier to put android into a folder. IMHO this will not impact performance. With some linux knowledge it should be possible by modifying the boot-scripts in initrd.gz and rootfs.img. There are also options in the startup.txt
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Mic159:
Any progress on running it from native partitions?

I have a spare SD card partitioned and ready :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
As it turns out, it is ALOT easier to put it into a folder. Because you already can :eek:

I just looked into the scripts, and both already check for "/" or "/android/" for most of the files needed. So just create a folder named "android" on your sd-card, put most of the android-files there and you are done. :D

You can not put all files there because some are hard-coded to root. I am not sure about calibration (i left it in root and wlan worked), but modules-*.tar.gz has to stay there. Well, you CAN remove it after first startup as the modules are copied. Same goes to the AndroidApps-folder. My android-folder now contains data.img, haret.exe, initrd.gz, rootfs.img, STARTUP.TXT, system.sqsh and zImage.

Surprisingly no modification on startup.txt was needed. Are these path-options used at all :confused:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
I tried that last week, but android loops at some point during startup animation. :( Always get the same results when i modify the system.sqsh. Dont know, what i am missing :confused:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] fatsal:
hi guys,

for running on partition try with this configuration :

example 8 Gb SD card :

1. partition 1 -> fat32 -> 7 GB

2. partition 2 -> ext2 / ext3 -> 512 mb

3. partition 3 -> linux swap

extract system.sqsh into partition2.

@vdelf

man, you should erase some line init file in rootfs. erase everything script contains pointing file data.img. change it to your /dev/mmc1blkp2.

latest build phhusson rootfs.img will error on load wifi calibration.

cheers,

fatsal.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Devaster:
What do u think under extract ? move whole file to ext2 or decompres it to separate files ?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Mic159:
I think he means unsquashfs the file.

Can we just write the data.img that we already have generated? ie. dd if=data.img of=/path/to/sdcard/partition?

Then we need a new rootfs without the creation & mounting of data.img?

And obvoiusly an update to STARTUP.txt
