hi

great work, really nice! i'm learning to make clock to, but i have problem with quality of my clock (see picture). i'm using corel to create clock, and gradient, transparency, all is looking great and smoth until i put it in my phone then the smothnes of gradient or transparency disappears and looks like on picture. i'm using m9editor and following this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=667552. so if you could help me about this quality problem please. thx (sorry on my english)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rat_2665:
That's a problem of the low bit-rate of images in manila. In Corel with 16-bit it looks nice, if you import it in manila, it would be converted to 8-bit and you see such "belts", especially if you use transparency and glassy effects. A workaround is to use no transparency, with background the glassy effect looks better.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tino1708:
ok thank you very much rat i will try that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MartyLK:
I installed the No Calender Date Background cab and it won't uninstall. I tried to reinstall it to get it to uninstall and it still won't uninstall. It won't overwrite the previous install either.

Is there a way to remove these files from my HTC HD2?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
You have corrupted it somehow or another.

So, what you need to do is,

Reinstall the cab file, it may detect the old and ask to uninstall it first, say ok.

Then install it, when done, do not reset, select cancel instead, then install the cab file again. This time when it is done, reset the device.

Now you should be able to uninstall it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MartyLK:
How would I have corrupted it? All I did was install it. I saw that it didn't do what I thought it would do so I tried to uninstall it.

It won't uninstall the old cab. I already tried. I thought if I tried to reinstall the cab, it would force an uninstall. But it won't uninstall it. It seems to want to install a duplicate.

Here is the message:

I found this file in the registry. Is it possible to remove it from there without causing harm to the system? Will removing it from the registry actually remove it from the system?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
You just need to do as I suggested above, and say yes to that message during the process.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MartyLK:
Okay... Thanks! That worked. Very much appreciate the help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
No problem. Glad you got it taken care of. :)

Can it work with cookie mod v1.8 ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lowriderchick:
I really love the Aqua Master...just my style. Thanks so much for your awesome creativity.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bullhead00:
Hey Santod, Has the Aquamaster clock been revised to work with CHT 1.8? It would be awesome to have the working date with this clock!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Halle:
Does those clocks work with 1.8.5? :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aunnie85:
Im So Sad

i love these clocks and they worked great in cht 1.7 and the stock rom but now that i have miri dinki 17.4 and cht 1.8.5 they dont work is there a method to get them to work in the new cht or maybe its my rom that doesnt allow them to work idk so sad i think these are the best clocks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sentiere:
do you have any transparencies for soft keys ??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Romeo Fox:
full transparency uninstall issue

Santod,

first of all great thanks for your works; i'm enjoying as example the super stealth slider tab skin.

I've tried your "CHT 1.8 full Transparent_tasks_Appts_Cal" here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6714624&postcount=7523 but after uninstall it the background didn't come back except for the date and alarm strip. I didn't have other choice to re-install CHT 1.8.5.

I would like to test more of your cabs but I'm little bite afraid now :o

Is it a known issue?

Regards,

Renaud
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
When a mod, like CHT, adds graphics that are not a part of your rom, and then you uninstall the added graphic, it is then gone.

Usually when uninstalling a manila graphic, the rom has a default image that it restores, when you uninstall any modifications.

In this case there is no image for the rom to restore, as the image was added by CHT, not built into the rom.

For this reason, I had made a restore Tasks and appointments graphics.cab, which is also in the CHT thread. But is not in the same post.

You can find it in the paperclip, outside of the CHT thread, but I will make an effort to relocate it myself and link to it in a couple of my other CHT mod posts for others to find easily.

That way you can just restore the missing graphic files without reinstalling all of CHT.

I hope that makes it a little more clear as to why that happens.

It has nothing to do with how the cabs are made or anything like that. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Romeo Fox:
Thank you very much for your very interesting answer. I'm going to search for your cab as i wish to try your others transparency versions.

Renaud
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nic85:
can i have have that dark rectangular box that is the setting for hours, location and meteo, transparent? or more translucent as the appointments tab below .. thank you: D

i ise cht 1.8.5
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hhx:
Thanks Dafunk.

Yes, these are indeed, most of the clocks I made for CHT, that you are already familiar with
[HD2 General] Wunderwaffe:
Hi

I'm new to forum and if this is not the right to ask this question, my apologies.

I'm about to buy an HD2 but I have these questions about GPS (I'm new to HTC and GPS):

- Does it support turn-by-turn voice guided GPS?

- Is it possible install the maps in the memory or card and use it offline?

- Is any kind of subscription needed to use the GPS?

Btw, I plan to use the GPS in Southern Europe, if that matters.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Hi, turn by turn is supported by CoPilot Live which is provided as a free trial (in most if not all countries it is sold in I believe). This is subject to a subscription should you decide to continue using it (£27 in the UK). Other products are available I'm sure. Turn by turn is not supported in europe on the free Google Maps as far as I am aware.
[HD2 General] efjay:
Copilot is a one-off purchase for turn-by-turn navigation, a yearly subscription is required for traffic. Other options include Navigon, Destinator, TomTom, NDrive, iGO8 with features varying between each program. Best to visit each vendor's site and compare their capabilities. And all of them can be used offline with maps stored on the memory card, in some cases the program comes pre-installed on a card and cant be changed.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zz000mm:
Hi chaps,

I have Orange UK branded Hero.

If HTC are going to update unbranded phones over the air prior to branded phones, what can I do to unbrand my phone?

All good fun.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xangma:
Can you please write this in another thread? No wait, you've done that already.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
Aside from comments like that one above (I will leave them to others to do :P )

You will need to root your device and/or use a goldcard to trick the phone into installing a generic software.

However I believe they will probably OTA the version out based on serial number, if this is the case then I don't think we can do anything to "trick" it.

All I can suggest if what I latterly said is true would be to root and then install a pre-rooted version which will be out about 10 mins after the official thing.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zz000mm:
Thanks Lenny.

I will search a 'how to' on rooting.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Alex Slane:
hi lenny,

just to let you know mate I have had to root my phone, as I don't see them rolling the update out anytime soon.

to be honest I am glad I have as I can now update on the move and try all the different Rom's out there.

I am using a modaco ROM its as close as I find to stock without all the bull that orange bundle.

I understand that again modaco will do the same thing for 2.1

hope you manage to get it sorted,

Chris.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veeger:
Hey guys just curious but has anyone else had any problems regarding to the phone just randomly switching itself off and then back on again? This has happened to me a few times now and thought i'd see if anyone else had, had this happen to them and knew what was causing it or any information at all really.

Thanks in advance to anyone who has any ideas!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veeger:
Unless of course it is just me which would really suck. :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxStyle:
I saw you debranded your phone.

Those restarts happened before too? If yes, you might want to send it to warranty.

If no, is the new firmware so, you might want to flash the old firmware again :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veeger:
Yeah sorry i should have mentioned that the random restarts occurred before and after the debranding. I think I may need to send it in :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] un1bomber:
this same thing is happeining to me?? like once a day??? its really wierd...

I haven't debranded or anyhting and it has only started happening for the past week or so (I've had the phone for a month)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
It happens to me when I connect my phone to my PC via USB and select "Mount".

Every time!!

Weird...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aranus:
sadly this is a hardware issue... Whenever the phone warms up a little bit.

I didn't have that issue in the first months but ever since then and more and more frequently. Right now I'm fighting with o2 to get a new device, because this doesn't seem to be repaired.

Do the following test to make sure you have that hardware-bug:

Let the battery charge for a while. When you notice your phone getting a little warm, open a few applications (google maps, navigation, mediascape) whatever... The phone should immediately restart itself.

When you remove the battery cover it might also smell a little burnt.

Congrats... You're affected and it's only gonna get worse... :(
[Hero CDMA General] mkhopper:
With the number of different 2.1-based roms available now, do any of them address the issue of the device reporting its location incorrectly when GPS is turned off?

I'm running with the DC Rom v2.07.2 and am thinking about flashing the latest Fresh rom just to see if it makes any difference at all

Prior to installing any 2.1 based rom, with the GPS off, the tower derived location always worked perfectly and never had any problems pinpointing right where I was on the map. After moving to 2.1 though, my location is now always reported as at least 1 or 2 miles away, sometimes more. It seems to be reporting a tower location rather than triangulating between towers to determine my actual location.

I've seen messages by others experiencing similar issues, but there's never any follow up on them. So I'm just curious, how many people really notice that their non-gps location is wrong and is there any way to fix this, other than going back to 1.5?
[Hero CDMA General] dwertz:
Most of those issues were caused by the Airave.
[Hero CDMA General] kingakuma:
of course your location will be off when not using GPS, because you are using cell tower triangulation to give an approx area of your location the only way to give your true location is with GPS enabled
[Hero CDMA General] mkhopper:
I understand that non-GPS location isn't perfect, but as I mentioned, when using OS v1.5, be it stock or a custom rom, with the GPS turned off, location based on tower triangulation was (almost) always dead on. It was actually quite surprising how accurate it was. And if it didn't pinpoint my exact location at times, it at least locked to the nearest tower.

After moving to v2.1 however, location data derived by tower triangulation is constantly wrong and is always off by a few miles or more no matter where I'm at. I don't use the Airave.

In my home, right now, all location values and maps show that I'm about 6 miles from where I'm actually sitting. I was in that area about 6 miles away about 5 hours ago. The phone however thinks it's still there. (Rebooting reset the location closer to my immediate area, but it's still wrong.)

When I'm at work, location is shown locked to a tower about 2 miles away, which I know is not the nearest, no matter where in the immediate area I go.

Maybe I'm making more of a deal of this than it needs to be, but it's something that worked in the older OS versions and now doesn't, at least correctly and it bugs me. And unfortunately, I don't know enough about the system programming internals to start pulling things apart looking for differences in location coding between OS versions 1.5 and 2.1.
[Hero CDMA General] dailypush:
Try updating and re-activating to sprint.

When mine was messed up it was due to my PRI being incorrect.

When I re-activated my phone everything seems to be working fine.

How fix PRI. READ IF YOU HAVE FLASHED ANY DEV ROM

[Resolved]Network Location problem / bug? (2.1)
[Hero CDMA General] centran:
did you update the radio? maybe your phone is seeing different towers.

I can say personally for me that my location jumps from being almost perfect to a mile away when I am at home. One day the middle dot is spot on and the next day it is a mile away(always in the same spot). When the phone is stationary in one spot the cell tower location can goofy.
[Hero CDMA General] mkhopper:
I never flashed any v2.1 ROM created from the Eris base, which as we've read, seems to what lead to the original issue with PRIs. I only moved to 2.1 with the newest DamageControl ROMs created from the leaked "official" 2.1 Hero base, and only after confirming that I didn't have the PRI issue.

Was running with Fresh 1.0 for the longest time.

Upgraded to OS v2.1 by wiping and flashing DC v2.0r3.

Wiped and flashed DC v2.05 and then flashed up to DC v2.07.2.

My PRI has always been 1.68_003 and has not changed during any of these updates.

The only thing I have not done is to flash the newest radio. Seems most people have done it with no issues, but I've always been a little on the fence with messing with that part of the device. I may have to do it though if for no other reason than to check it off the list of possible issues.
[Hero CDMA General] mkhopper:
[Resolved (?)] Still having location problems - 2.1 ROMs

Flashed the updated radio and the location issue seems to be resolved, sort of.

Now the location bounces around from each of the three closest towers, sometimes settling on my exact location for a few moments before cycling around the towers again.

However, this is at least much better than it was before and is close enough for government work, as they say.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpm2000:
Just wondering if this happens to anyone else. Running CM 5.0.5.3, and occasionally it'll just disappear. Sometimes I can turn it back on by going into settings, turning it off, turning it back on [the haptic feedback is checked "ON" when I lose it] and waiting a while in sleep mode. It won't turn back on immediately if I do this step - the waiting in sleep is necessary. Or I can reboot.

Anyone else getting this, and any idea why?

thx
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azalex86:
Yes, I get this occasionally using the desire a19 rom. I just turn off the screen, and back on, and it comes back.
[Nexus One General] izmar:
I ordered my AT&T Nexus last night. I was worried about several things, so I used my phone, with my girlfriend on the other end, to push the mouse button and confirm the sale! :D

Anyways, I'm hoping the purple tint doesn't effect Mr. Nexus. I ordered a Gelli Case from Case-mate dot com. It had pretty good reviews, and seems smaller than most cases.

I am still debating whether or not to root my phone. I'm not sure if it's worth the warranty void. We'll see though, because there's so much tempting stuff :)

So, Nexus owners, do you regret purchasing your Nexus in light of the new phones being released? This was probably the biggest worry of mine. But seeing as all the nice android phones dont run on AT&T 3G, I decided to stick with the Nexus.
[Nexus One General] renboy2:
Case-mates are awesome, I got the tough case for my Nexus, and it rocks.

The screen protection that it comes with is also great and very invisible / fingerprint resistant.

After I got it, I finally didn't feel like I was holding a fragile egg in my hands when handling my phone ;)
[Nexus One General] h2opoloplyr_11:
Congrats on the purchase!

For the tint, i didnt seem to have that problem, but there are no guarantees that you wont get them as well, but more and more are reporting that it hasnt been a problem.

I wanted to get a gel case, but i opted out for the zagg invisible shield full body (minus the screen, i bought a regualr screen protector off ebay), had it pro installed at the zagg kiosk and couldnt be happier. And I am a little worried about droppping it, but i should be fine.

I debated on that as well. But after 5 days of playing with the phone and everything seems to be working fine, so i rooted and installed a custom rom! REALLY happy with the decision! cyanogen 5053 rom kicks a$$! and also running at 250 MB free RAM! :)

As for regrets, none whatsoever. Because now i still have my upgrade availabilty, so any new phones coming out this summer that i would actually like to buy, i can get at discount price. And plus, I sold my 3gs to buy the n1 so almost an even trade. About $60 out of my pockets to get the n1, so im happy with it!
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Dude, best phone I ever had. No purple tint on mine. Yeah, there are some issues to be addressed by google, like adding copy to emails and adding repeating reminders.. but nothing major.

Overall it's 98% AWESOME, 1% kinda weird, 1% needs fixing.

Other phones? Like Supersonic? Way too big, and Sprint-only. Desire? Meh, imo, it's worse than N1. You trade finger sensor fingy for dual noise-cancelling mics.. I take the mics any day.

Oh, dude... make sure you condition your battery on first charge.. seriously, when you get it, hold your horses, let it charge with PHONE OFF for 12 hours. It'll go a loooong way towards your battery life, especially first month or so. Just set it to charge as soon as you get it and don't touch it for 12 hours.

Regarding the case.. I recommend using a belt-clip case. It covers the phone fully, it's only on when you're not using the phone (so you can enjoy your "naked" N1), and phone is always out of harms way on your waist. Imo, that's the best option.
[Nexus One General] deprecate:
I bought the launch Nexus One and lived on Edge on ATT for quite a while. I was regretting that only for the "man I wish I had 3G" reasoning. Once the ATT version was available, I sold my TMO phone for $500 and spent the extra $30 to upgrade.

Regrets? None.

I love my phone.
[Nexus One General] izmar:
That was another buying point for me too, resellability! I bet I could sell this for $400 in a year, if it's in nearly mint condition... Depending on how fast phones get in the next year.

I had a tough time deciding between the gelli case and the tough case. I decided the tough case would be too bulky, as I like feeling the slimness of the phone. I remember when I first got a case for my iphone, I had it on for months straight, then it ripped, and I had it without a case. What a difference! So I'm hoping the gelli case will be a good thin fit.

As for conditioning my battery, do I really have to let it sit for 12 hours? I don't know if I can handle just letting it sit there... How much better for my phone will it be? I never did this to my iphone, and it's battery was great the whole life of it.

What time during the day did you all receive your phones?
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Well, first battery (original) I plugged it in for 20 minutes while playing with the phone, then went and used it as gps for about 30 mins, then charged it again..

And for first 2 weeks my battery would last 6-8 hours tops. After that it started to improve a little.

Second battery I got I conditioned it, and now I get 17.5 hours from one charge with everything on, screen at 70% brightness and 2 push emails, all on 3G. Huge difference.
[Nexus One General] izmar:
How long did you condition it for?

edit

I did some reading on conditioning, and some say use it until it dies, then charge it fully. Anyone have some input?
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Read the battery threads in Q&A for some unbiased information about batteries, intial charging strategy, etc. I just got mine day before last. No purple tint whatsoever at any brightness. I do have the screen calibration where it wont accept presses or they are misplaced, a quick sleep/wake fixes it and it only happens on the odd occasion so I havent worked up much of a care over it. Multi touch has the cross axis issue and that seems to hit me with pinch zooming but its easy to work around by not pinching too close together. Still, if ya gotta work around it its an issue in my mind and the way I read it software will never fully address it. Since I actually prefer to one hand and use the magnifying glasses this doesnt affect me. I only play puzzle games so cant comment on multi issues there. I have no issues with 3G/edge cycling and I am in a borderline 3G area.

Other trivia... I have never had a phone pick up gps lock so fast. I find the keyboard acceptable but it could be better. I have not changed it because I like to use a phone for a week or so and get a good feel for the stock firmware before I start swapping things out. Outlook support would have to get better to suck. I think the screen looks great outside of the reds which have some bloom. The camera takes half decent pictures with little effort at the default automatic settings. This is all I need so cant comment on what a photographer type might get out of it with fiddling. The trackball comes in handy when you want to edit text. Much easier than trying to get a fingernail in exactly the right spot. Accessories are not easy to find on the ground, had to hit amazon.

Bottom line after 48 hours of ownership. This is a great phone with no major weaknesses outside of the outlook support. Its a pleasure to use and I have no regrets about making this purchase. My wife is starting to make noises and I would not be surprised if there are soon two of these in the house. I think your going to be happy.
[Nexus One General] trevorwhopkins:
lol check my thread about nexus regrets.

but honestly no. overall I'ld buy the phone again. I already have when it broke, and I paid full price.

DEFINATELY root your phone, IF yoru careful enough not to break it. theres teh n1 torch for using your led as a flashlight, i depend on wireless tethering alot, I love loading sense from the desire onto my phone, you can add alot more RAM from kernel configuration... I rooted both phones. It's worth it.
[Nexus One General] izmar:
Thanks for your input Krabman. I'm really excited to get it tomorrow.

trevor - I am going to use it for a few days, maybe a few weeks before rooting, just in case theres something that needs to be fixed.

I really want to root it though holy crap.
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
I would advise against ever using your battery until it dies. It does harm to your battery. If my power goes below 10% i will usually turn it off until i can get it to a power source.
