[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
here you go man. just extract the .tar form the zip. you know what to do with it right? just making sure. and if you cant find this app in the market then you must be running 240x320? if so i'll also post another androidupdate.tar to fix your market. just let me know
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Gersonian:
I am running the 240, but I am thinking of changing That. Would you recommend?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
alot of people use 240x320 mostly beacuse its crystal clear. but in 240x320 most of the apps do not fit right. and it ''had'' the market issue. but i use 320x480 because everything fits like it should. its a little fuzzy but its really not that bad. more and more people are switching to it. but 320x428 is right in the middle. most of the apps fit and its pretty damn clear and it ''had'' the market issue aswell. so if you cant handle a little fuzziness then i recomend going with 320x428. if you would rather have everything fit perfect then go with 320x480
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Gersonian:
I am giving it a spin right now. Probably not the best idea as I am about to go out for the night, but we will see how it goes... Again, thanks for your help.

EDIT-- OK so I thought the 480 option was a little too blurry for my taste. Giving the 428 a spin now. The 24x320 was nice as everything was about as clear as it could be, but hey I have not flashed my phone too many times so I will give this one a run too and see what I think and then go from there. I just think after having everything crystal clear it might be hard to go with anything else. So, could you help me out with a 240 version of the app?

People always ask why I still have this phone, and for the the avg joe, they just dont understand that this, right here, is why I still have this phone. I love my vogue and for what its worth, I will keep trying this s***t out and breathing new life into her.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
no problem man. also if your switching to a different resolution its best to clear dalvik cache in the replimenu. or it may look a little distorted cause you still have your data from a different res. and for 320x428 and 320x480 it requires an lcd density of 160.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
here you go man. just unzip and install like any other androidupdate.tar. it will change your lcd density to 160. use this if your going to use 320x428 or 320x480. and after the update just click on clear dalvik cache.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Gersonian:
This makes a world of difference to me with some of the apps I wanted to use already. Thanks for this. Good luck with your phone. Are you think of just upgrading at this point or seeing about what you can do with insurance? If you change phones, I know you will be missed the Vogue forums...

Peace!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
thanks man that means alot :) so your on 320x428 now? if you need the market fix let me know. and i want to upgrade but i would miss this comunity and the excitement of updated builds and trying new stuff, i got insurance on the phone so i'll just get it replaced.

if you ever need any help man dont hesitate to pm me
[Touch CDMA Android Development] j8971:
Wow! I can't believe you are saying 320x428 is better…I have said that for about two weeks and counting.:D It's better than 320x480 any day. Beautiful Widgets is the only reason the majority of people using 320x480 are not migrating over to 320x428.;)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
yeah i like 320x428 but some of the stuff still doesnt fit. i cant stand that. some like clearness and some like to have everything fit. i like to have everything fit.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] j8971:
I got a question for you. How do you remove the lock screen in Myn's Warm Donut. I am using Lockbot and want to have that as my only lock screen but the installed plain black lock screen keeps showing up.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
im really not quite sure. i just know that all the lockscreen files are in the framework files
[Touch CDMA Android Development] inertone:
be careful with lockbot

sometimes it locks the entire notification bar

and you have to kill with a task manager

its happened to me alot
[Touch CDMA Android Development] 4thought:
So I've pretty much replicated my Winmo functionality and then some.

Once really nice feature with SPB Mobile Shell and some of the guys doing custom widgets was having invisible widgits for notifications of voice mail, missed calls and sms msgs. You wouldn't see them on the home screen until there was an event and then they'd show up.

Has anyone seen anything like this for Android? Thanks,
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
Has anyone ever tried 360 x 480 @ 180 density? Or does it have similar issues to 320x428?

The aspect ratio would be correct. That's why everything's blurry. You want to maintain a width-height aspect ratio of 0.75. 320x480 has an aspect ratio of 0.667.

Perhaps I'll install Myn's App and try it out this weekend...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drewden123:
You mean 320x480, right? I'll try with RogueTools right now..

edit: everything is a little too big and slightly chopped off on the sides. the icons seem crowded on the home screen as well. Clarity doesn't seem like a great improvement if any.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
No, 360x480.

You'd have to hex-edit the NBH file and change the resolution and reflash your kernel. Just get a hexeditor (Notepad++ works with the hex editor plug-in), and ASCII search for "width". You'll see where to change it.

Then you'd also have to change the density and clear the dalvik cache (menu option in the startup menu).

http://wxhexeditor.sourceforge.net/ <--- That'd work too.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drewden123:
Oh, my bad. I tried 180 with 320x480 :rolleyes:. I'll try editing the nbh for 360x480...but i've never done this before so hopefully i don't screw up too bad ha. I'll get back with results.

edit: So I tried 360x480 @ 180. Everything seems to be the same size you'd see on 240x320 (I'm guessing cuz it's the same ratio), but there is still bluriness. The clarity is no where close to that of 240x320. However, things are bigger/more finger friendly/more proportional for our screens because it's the correct ratio (.75 as you stated).
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
Okay, that's partly what I expected. I just wasn't sure how the Android scaler would behave.

So, for the most part Android just doesn't like our outdated 4:3 aspect ratio. Most phones now days are 16:10.

Technically, now it's easier to make the screen smaller. What happens if you set the density to 150 @ 360x480?

Android should think the screen is 4" instead of 3", and draw everything to be a certain size on that screen. However, our vogues have the mddi, which resizes everything to fit the screen.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fldash:
The million dollar question for 360x is how does it look compared to the 320x480 screen...

I read how to make Opera Mini your default browser yesterday but haven't tried it yet.

So here is how you do it:

Install Opera Mini 5 on your Android

Install OperaBridge, too.

Click an external web link, launching the “Complete action using…” dialog.

Check “Use by default for this action.”

Tap OperaBridge

External links should now open in Opera Mini 5 by default.

Here't the link http://phandroid.com/2010/04/22/how-to-make-opera-mini-5-your-default-browser/
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drewden123:
I use OperaBridge and it works pretty well.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] 4thought:
Thanks I'll give Operabridge a shot.

Too bad the thread's been hijacked by resolution discussion! :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
Just went to Android Market to search on "Operabridge" and "Opera Bridge".

No luck. :(

Find it anywhere else for download?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] 4thought:
I couldn't find it either. After a bunch of Googling, I managed to get the apk at THIS link. I installed it and it works great!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hexto:
I found it no problem. Did you do the Market fix to make sure you're getting all free and paid apps?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
Got it.

Thanks for the link!

Yes, I did install the Market fix installed.

I will double check today to make sure.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
since we are now talking DPI and resolution have a peek at this useful post here.

I haven't tried it yet but it appears 320x428@144 DPI is mathematically ideal. I have yet to try it though.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] 4thought:
I have the fix and I couldn't find it.

Still hoping someone can help with some home screen widgets to altert me to voice mails, missed calls & sms msgs! I used invisible widgets with SPB and they were great.

hi guys

i got a elf here using kwbr topix 1.4.1

recently i got a problem loading touchflo during start up

it just wouldnt load at start up

i tried flashing other roms

but the same problem occur

can someone help me with this?

im desperate.

thanks
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
Does it just keep cycling loading touchflo, tap to load?

Have you tried installing Manilla 2d customiser and removing panels until it loads? If not, give that ago, its what I had to do with my omnia before i got rid of it. When you know what causes the issue, you can search for that?
[HD2 General] Freezey:
Hi everyone Im just wanting some opinion on the HD2. right now I have a G1 and im looking to upgrade my phone in june and Im wondering if i went to a HD2 instead of a N1 would I regret it? I have never used a newer winmo phone in my life & im only familiar with android on a smartphone.

anywho any advice,tips are all appreciated.
[HD2 General] chrisrj28:
Hey there, I had a G1 for about a year and I love Android personally. I might still have it but I lost it so I traded up for a Touch Pro 2 which was awesome. I had WinMo before Android so I was already familiar with it but the HD2 is the best WinMo phone out and one of the best on the market to be honest.

The N1 is a great phone as well so it really boils down to what OS you prefer, WinMo takes a learning curve and there may be some things that will frustrate you but this phone more than makes up for anything lacking in WinMo. Plus it's even more open than the open source Android platform so modding and personalizing is even easier.

WinMo is not as app centric as Android or Iphone due to no central location for apps (Marketplace & Omarket notwithstanding) but there are thousands of WinMo apps spread across the net so you just have to look a little harder.

So out of Tmo's lineup the HD2 is the best choice right now but that's my opinion, I would go to a store and spend some time playing with it. Really give it a good test drive so you can see for yourself
[HD2 General] tj05fx4:
I had a G1 and then most recently a MyTouch 3G and upgraded to the HD2 the morning it came out.

My biggest reason to upgrade aside from the obvious graphical and asthetic improvements, is the ability for it to sync up with Exchange which Android doesn't do nearly as well as Windows Mobile.

Sure the apps are a plus, but as already said, there isn't an app out there for Android that I haven't been able to find for this phone. The customization of this is endless and I don't even think the developers and folks out there who build the ROM's have even scratched the surface.
[HD2 General] xtenpeben:
first of, don't think about android if ur willing to try hd2. these are essentially two different mobile os. winmo targeted mostly business oriented people, using office mobile and such.

i still have my g1 because i like android and i switch to either one from day to day since i got my hd2. or i just carry both around. i like showing off my hd2 tho haha people go, hey what phone is that?
[HD2 General] dornstar:
My only experience with smartphones was a G1 and I was nervous about making the transition as well, but I haven't had any problems. The biggest difference of course is the app market. The WM market is nothing like it, but if you're resourceful, you can find all the apps you need.
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
HD2 is definitely NOT an easy phone to get along with.

I've had my frustration during my first 2 weeks with the phone.

It's much harder to get used to than iPhone, G1, Blackberries I've come to across.

Now that i've pretty much tweaked this phone to exactly how I like it, everything seems too perfect. I do miss the voice recognition from google, but hey, I can easily type them on the google search on my internet tab.

If you're willing to get HD2, you should really read up on flashing with custom ROM.
[HD2 General] aceo07:
Check it out in the store first for a while. Take a couple of visits and use it like you would normally use it

I also had a G1, though I did have some WM experience before. I miss the Android notifications, which are much better integrated. I miss Android gtalk, I barely use it WM now (bad integration and not good UI).

I do find myself doing more reading of websites and ebooks now, also videos. These were my goals for the HD2, so I'm happy with my decision. The bigger screen helps a lot and the physical size is barely taller than the G1 and a bit wider, but also thinner.

These forums can help out a lot if you have patience and the ability to read and follow steps. :)
[HD2 General] Prophet621:
I also have a G1 and have been considering getting the HD2... my only hesitation is that it's running WM. I had 2 prior Windows mobile phones (Wing and Touch pro) and really hated them. Just didn't really like anything about the mobile Windows. About 2 months ago I needed to get my G1 replaced and broke out my old Touch Pro to use while I waited for the replacement and forgot how much I hated Windows Mobile but to be honest the Touch Pro wasn't a great phone, lots of lag running 6.5 but still seemed halfassed finger friendly.

Windows Mobile, just like Android or Apple isn't for everyone. They all have their good point and flaws and each will appeal to different users for different reasons while being utterly unappealing to others. Go to the T-mobile store and play with the floor model... go beyond the home screen, check apps, look at the layout, setting options...etc to really get a feel of it and whether you can deal with it. I'm going to wander over myself soon to do that.

I'm excited by the future of Android and looking forward to the updates to the OS where this phone will always be stuck running WM 6.5.x.

I know WM7 will eventually be unofficially ported over to this phone but I have zero desire to use WM7.

Still... the phone is soooo nice and some third party software may make it usable for me and I can use the installment plan with it and keep my family plan together... if I could do that with the N1 I would jump at it.
[HD2 General] digitallysick:
I had a g1 (rooted) and mytouch (rooted) and sold them both for an HD2

Its been a learning experience, the HD2 has its pros and cons, some of the things I like

The video recording is way better and you can pick the format, same for taking pics, the video player supports several formats at least , twitter , youtube and the basic apps are nice

Beyond that is the problems, the biggest downer for me was no turn by turn gps, and I have no idea where to find one that works (either pirate or buy it, no idea where to get one)

Also the GPS is not real gps, its AGPS only I think? meaning no gps in offline map mode if you lost data signal (correct me if im wrong)

The options on the phone are crazy, most of the good things are hidden in the registry and not turned on (clear type, other video /photo options, etc)

Opera is decent, IE is horrible, I ran it once and the fonts were huge, I just gave up on it

The market sucks, no decent apps at all, and im not sure where to find good apps, luckly on the net I was able to find skype, and it does work

I installed duttys task manger, its a life saver

So for me, really, other than the gps it mostly has the same options as the hero phones/roms

just with a lack of apps and no free turn by turn, I am still impressed by the big screen and graphics, watching transformers on it is cool and youtube is nice

I am using it unlocked with ATT , sometimes it has trouble when I am not on wifi, the apps don't reconize my connection (google maps) which is an upset, I installed the media net cab file
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
I thought the TouchPro was a great phone. I've liked all the WM phones I've had. But I also loved my Dell Axim and 2 Ipaqs before that, too. Anyways, if you couldn't stand any of your previous WM phones, I wouldn't recommend getting the HD2. It's not gonna be much different from your other WM phones if you hate using WM.
[HD2 General] turbosix:
though i love the hd2's hardware... i cant go back to winmo... i'm eligible for an upgrade so i'm just going to get the hd2 for the 2yr contract price and sell it, then use that money to buy an n1 from google. so there's another alternative.
[HD2 General] dallastx:
Had N1 with Tmobile and now HD2 with T mobile...Same signal issues. 3g then all of a sudden HSPA then Edge. I thought with GSM you could use 3g service while on phone. Haven't been able to do that on either phone.. I like HD2 because i can watch Divx. I like N1 because of navigation and all the apps that are available. The internet is faster on N1 then HD2. Plus you have apps that cater towards different websites so much easier. But then again you don't get a 4.3 inch screen. All in all if i didn't have t mobile as a carrier i think i would enjoy both phones.

Edit - Oh and i have to soft boot the HD2 quite often. "I ran all Rom's" Apps just like to freeze HD2
[HD2 General] fhaines:
HD2

Hello all,

My last 3 phones were Android powered. G1, Mytouch and Cliq.

Even rooted, with custom roms non were anywhere near as fast or have the multimedia power of the HD2. I have yet to flash a custom rom, cause the stock rom on the HD2 is quite good the way it is.

I have to agree, that the HD2 is a "grown ups" phone. It does what it does well, with no problems or freezing straight out of the box

fhaines
[HD2 General] zole2112:
I have 2 rooted G1's and had an N1 for a couple of months. I sold my N1 (it was a TMobile band phone) and was going to buy the ATT version N1 but I thought I would try the HD2 first. I'm just setting it up and slowly getting it how want it so I can't give a comparison to the N1 yet. I suspect I will go back to the N1, I love the Google navigation and voice search on the N1.
[HD2 General] cu2cool:
You will miss apps from Android Market, and customized home screens. Other than that, it's a nice upgrade.
[HD2 General] ministersin:
TMobile US version includes TeleNav free trial ($10/mo after that). But I suggest CoPilot. It's $30 one time fee. Better than Google Nav because the maps are on your SD card and as long as you can find a GPS satellite it doesn't matter if you have data. And it's just a standard Nav system. If you have a car dock it's no different than any other Nav device. Which is nice.

The GPS is one of the most accurate I have ever used. You can turn on and off AGPS (Settings...Other...AGPS). I find i works fine with it on. BUT in Google Maps you have to hit MENU and choose Enable GPS or it is just using cell tower triangulation and it is WAYYY off.
[HD2 General] toeshot:
I just got and HD2 this past Monday and I am coming from a G1. The HD2 is very disorganized compared to the G1 IMHO. my G1 was rooted, had Custom Rom, themed (I did some of the theming to my phone), fast and reliable. As for the person who said the WinMo is a grown up's phone you juts are not using the G1 correctly and the G1 does do exchange EXCELLENTLY!!. I could use my G1 to manage my home network and Web server while on the road, seems pretty safisticated to me. I don't have that ability with the HD2, that I am aware of at this point. The HD2 has a nice screen but it is only doing a 16K color depth so there is no real HD but the video is still better than the G1. I am having issues at this moment with data not working over WiFi, For example I could connect to the WiFi on the G1 and still get my Exchange email push out as it arrived to my phone and get my Gmail. With the HD2 I cannot get gmail but I get exchange email, hmm.... Siound fishy. Apps that require data some work on wifi and others don't but everything works on edge and/or 3G and/or HSPA.

I will be going back to the Android OS, picking up the Samsung Galaxy S or TMO Branded Samsung Vibrant when it is released July 21st

[EDIT] I did root and custom rom the HD2 that seems to help performance some a little
[HD2 General] gtrplr71:
I have an N1 and an hd2 prior phone was a G1 both android phones rooted and hd2 stock HD good for buisness a differnent animal all together I use the hd2 duing the week and my N1 on the weekend. Hell of a learning curve.
[HD2 General] kyleds:
like many others, i also came from a g1. had the hd2 for about 2 weeks. its a great phone. but it is not an Android. there are a lot if free apps. but you're gonna spend a lot of time searching for them, especially if you want free ones. thered no refunds once you purchase. but it is faster, the screen is beautiful, just takes a while to get use to. but i do wish tmo when with the Evo... i would go for the n1 if i could afford it. no family plan upgrade. :( plus you get cyanogen. that guy is awesome!
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Windows mobile takes a while to learn and set up the way you want, but once you do it is a lot more capable and versatile than android. I've used WinMo since 2003, and android since 2008, so I know both very well... I much prefer WinMo right now, but like I said, I've used it for 7 years. It is much more like a full computer os. You have to understand, too, that WinMo was designed originally as a PocketPC OS, and phone capabilities have been worked in since. Android was designed as a phone OS to begin with. Also, Android is still new and is actively developed, so in a couple years I'm sure it's capabilities will catch-up and surpass WinMo.... but for now WinMo is much more versatile, just not as user-friendly. It's not for the average phone user. I wouldn't suggest it to any new users at this point... especially ones used to android or iphone os.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heroid007:
Phone: CDMA Hero

ROM: Freshhh2.0d

Recovery Image: 1.5.2

Well the story begins:

Last week installed Freshh2.0d rom everything worked perfect...... until I tried to screw with the lock screen (tried to install vanilla lock screen and for some reason it messed the rom soon I assign password to lock screen!!) To even realize it was the lock screen I had to reboot and flash the rom several times (maybe like 8-10!!!) then finally it started working!!!

But after the last flash, I started having force close issues with several core apps, like touch screen, google apps etc..... so this morning decided to reflash the rom one last time and see if it fixes the issues.... but I feel like I have done more than just that..... here is what I have done....

1. Re-flashed Freshhh2.0d rom, after reboot got stuck at "htc" screen that comes up after all the animations

2. I wiped or did a factory reset and flashed again..... same result

3. Wiped again and this time I wanted to download the rom again and while downloading rom, I stumbled up on new recovery image 1.6.2

4. I applied new recovery image with wiped or factory reset phone, rebooted in recovery and flashed rom

5. Again stuck under htc screen after all animations....

6. Went back to recovery image 1.5.2 and flashed rom

7. After all this the net result is still same...... stuck in htc screen....... not booting the phone!!!!

Can somebody point me to the right direction???? I am even thinking about trying a different rom and see if that comes up!!!:confused:
