[Android Software Development] DBBGBA:
I don't mind applications to have totally different designs as long as they are intuitive and make sense in the context of the application and I think a lot of them don't.

It's true though that some more general guidelines like the one they have for the iphone would help some developers to not only keep consistency but also keep the design relevant to the tasks provided by the app.

What do you guys prefer? I think android strenght could be a custom design for each app as long as it's intuitive, a perfectly good example is the gallery application introduced in 2.1

There is a link there to a good pdf (the link in the question over stackoverflow is dead): https://island.byu.edu/files/AndroidHIG.pdf

[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
Is there a FAQ here or elsewhere explaining to this NOOB what Rosie is, and Espresso, and Nexus launcher etc etc etc?

I'm searching for themes and I see these terms tossed around but I'm a little lost. A pictogram would be nice :)

Thx.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Ask away here and I'll tell you.

Rosie = Sense GUI on the Hero.

Espresso = A newer version of Sense. All we have for the Hero right now is a theme that skins Rosie to look like Espresso.

Nexus Launcher = The cool-looking launcher that is on the Nexus One.
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
Ok so there's a neat looking curved bottom menu is that standard Rosie? The ones that are now just a bar with pluses to the left and right and the phone in the center is Espresso. Do I have it right? The leaked 2.1 sprint ROM has which Gui?
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
the leaked rom has a stock rosie.

treve has a couple of metamorphs that will allow you to easily change back and forth. I built a faded/translucent stock rosie for myself. It's all about making it your own.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Blue Ice K4:
hi!

i'm here to share with you a my idea for an app.

I know there is gremote but my idea is a little bit different...

in my idea the app as 2 installer, obviously, but the pc-side also install a virtual touchpad device, multitouch compatible (if is should be possible emulate a synaptics device we should can use their sw to manage gestures)

in this way we have a "full" multitouch touchpad

another feature is the possibility to rotate manually or with g-sensor the touchpad orientation.

what do you think about it? with our hd2 and a windows7 pc i think it should be awesome!

gremote it's similar but different...

gremote doesn't support multitouch

gremote doesn't install a driver and delegates gestures to the OS but has it's own gesture...

My ADSL connection can do 13Mb download & 1Mb upload, all computers achieve (also on wireless) this using either speedtest.bbmax.co.uk or speedtest.net. However my HD2 can only achieve 3.5-4Mb max using the same sites, upload is represented correctly. It seems to fly up very quickly then back down, for upload it takes a few seconds to check the speed for both sites. I used Opera 10 (Flash Lite 3).

Also on HSDPA it can only do ~0.5Mb but when tested in dongle it achieves ~2.5Mb, upload is represented correctly (1Mb) for both Vodafone and O2.

I've also tried the wireless N hack but this hasn't improved things.
[HD2 General] mjordan79:
There is no solution. HD2 performance on WI-FI are just bad. People don't care. The only justification they can give to this is "it's just a phone". Amen.
[HD2 General] otester:
That sucks, my mates Omnia is also pretty bad on WiFi so I assume this is a WinMo problem?

Also I meant just O2 for 0.5/2.5 HSDPA thing, just checked Vodafone and got 3.5Mb / 1Mb.

Also doesn't the "it's just a phone" thing kinda wear off when you cross the £500 mark?
[HD2 General] mjordan79:
I don't know. Maybe it's WinMo but I don't have other Windows Phones to make comparisons.

I agree but these are the people that appear here when you criticize their toy.

Maybe enabling wifi-n will speed it up. I'd at least give that a try.

[HD2 General] busterdan:
I have been having issues with HSDPA on my HD2 for some time. I am with T-mobile UK... what I have found is that when I hard boot/reflash a new rom... HSDPA is full speed. However something triggers what I can only think is a GPRS only mode, at first I thought I had installed apps that affected networking but I don't believe that is the case now.

Yesterday for example I was in a shielded building and had no reception whatsoever... when I came out I could not connect to T-Mobile data so restarted my HD2 a few times then setup data again.... I am connected now but internet connectivity is really slow, I generally stream music but I can't do this and I may as well forget about YouTube.

I have spoken to T-Mobile about this in the past and they said there are no restrictions on my account. I also know (havng proved it before) that by going through the hassle of a hard reset/new rom flash HSDPA with work again.

I wonder if this is IP related but I am not sure how to check the configuration on Winmo. I also am unsure how/where to do a speedtest (Speedtest.net needs an updated version of flash).
[HD2 General] busterdan:
Managed to get it sorted out.... sent the Tmobile settings from the Tmobile website to my phone. Then in my ROM (OMEGA) there is a enable 3G mode.... This seems a bit flaky to be honest... Anyway I selected the new Tmobile internet settings option in Connections, then flicked the 3G setting in connection manager on and off a few times...

In the status bar, rather than "G" and a small "G" with reception meter both show as "H" (this will differ to the rom you have probably).... main thing is streaming is back again :)

[HD2 General] otester:
I've generally found 3G to be faster than WiFi and even the ping in some situations on WM phones.
[HD2 General] aarons6:
my phone also gets around 2 to 3Mbps on the speed test with the wifi.. 700 or so with hspda and 500 or so with 3g.

isnt this the max rate of the memory card? perhaps the phone itself is slowing down the results?
[HD2 General] otester:
3G speed depends heavily on the mast tech level and how many people are using it.

Hi

Does anyone know if it's possible to install a theme or skin, or possibly a manila add-on which would sexy-up the WM email client? I'm not talking about Flexmail or Profimail (they look like a step backwards - pocket pc, get out yer stylus).

I'm talking about a cosmetic dress up of the existing client (which I use with MS exchange for work, and hotmail for personal) to make it look more in keeping with the Sense UI, or what we've seen for WP7 or even (gasp!) the email client on the iphone.

I've tried searching, but all that comes up is flexmail (yuck!).

It's strange, all the messing about with themes, manila etc, but the email app is something I use probably more than any other on my phone and yet it hasn't fundamentally changed in 10 years. Any suggestions, greatly appreciated.

Stoatie ...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
Well it is possible to skin the mail and SMS tabs on your HD2s, but unfortunatly what you are asking for is impossible if you dont want to have a new app or something similar
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] backlashsid:
man...nothing is impossible in todays world !!

the sms app and email app essentially work the same way...

and if once can be skinned then of course the other has a possibility as well !

its just it hasnt been looked into !!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
believe me I have taken a look into it. You can easily modify the appearance of your mail and sms tab. There are like 30-40 manila files that can be changed. But the problem is, that these changes wont affect the general behaviour like having speech bubbles or something like that. They would only change some little icons and maybe two or three other little visual gimicks but nothing more.

To achieve anything like the screenshots I saw in your link you would either have to write a new mailing or messaging app or change the way windows mobile 6.5(.x) behaves in general and I dont know anyone who is actually able to do that. Might be that Cookie was able to do that, but since he is no longer available for this kind of work, I think that you will have to come to peace with your current mailing or messaging tabs
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] backlashsid:
once again !! I dont think you are getting the point !

I am not talking about the HTC Sense TABS like the messaging and email but instead I am talking about the default Email Client that has been there with us since Windows Mobile 6.

I had a talk with another developer and according to him...his skin also skinned the default Windows Mobile SMS app as well as the Email client.

Somewhat like this.

So...I dont think this has anything to do with Manilla. Getting the point ??

All that needs to be changed is the following UI.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jjollyroger:

Put your phone in Bootloader Mode by pressing the Camera and Power buttons and then the Reset button all at the same time.

Then make sure you have a radio of 3.4x or above... If not Flash back to a new stock Rom and then follow the threads you were just reading.

If you radio is good go and Download one of the ROMS here on this forum.

Happy Flashing!

How to Flash a Vogue without ActiveSync

How to Flash a Vogue Without ActiveSync

:)

A method so easy my Mother could do it.

:)

Not suggesting there's anything wrong with my mother, just that she's not all that technically oriented.

​

Here's an easy way to flash your HTC Vogue without using ActiveSync. It would likely be a great method to use if you had many Vogues that all needed to be updated as well. Works great for those not using Windows, as well.

Look around for a

Transflash

(aka

MicroSD

) card, one that you can erase,

2GB or less

.

Use your Windows machine to make sure it's freshly formatted as

FAT32

]

Copy the ROM you want to flash to the card.

Rename the file you just copied to

VOGUIMG.nbh

If you are flashing a different model, you need to be sure you have the right file name for it. I think the pattern is the first 4 letters of the model name with IMG.nbh after it, but if it doesn't work, don't blame me,

Put card in phone.

Enter bootloader mode by holding the

CAMERA

and

POWER

buttons, while pressing the

RESET

button in the little hole in the bottom of the phone. (don't bother to connect it to your computer)

Enjoy a caffinated beverage of your choice, or an alcoholic beverage of your choice, or heck, a nice tall glass of cool water while you wait.

Watch as your phone automagically flashes itself!

Congratulate yourself on a job well done.

This is what I'm going to use from now on for flashing with a Mac or Linux. For those addicted to flashing, you can even take a collection of cards with you. I'm not yet sure if you can have multiple ROMs on one card, and just rename the one you want to flash or not yet, but I'll likely find out soon.

ATTENTION

:

Missing any of these will make it NOT WORK:

Card must be normal

SD

,

not

SDHC or XDHC. No bigger than 2GB

Card must be formatted with

FAT32

. They often come formatted FAT16 or plain FAT, and a previously-used card could have just about any format on it -- NTFS. HPFS. HFS+. EXT3 -- Format it right to be sure.

Be sure you have the right name. I've heard that

CaSe cOuNtS

-- the name above has been cut/pasted from a working reflash card.

There is no #4.

Have fun!

To achieve the look I want on my HD2 I have had to round up over a dozen CABs and apps (thank you HDWall) to make most everything on my home tab transparent. Some of them have been hard to find or I have found them just to find they are incompatible for one reason or another. My hope is that a single app that has switches for home tab and other tab transparencies can be produced. Much like Co0kie's Home Tab incorporates many changes into one easy to use app.

I am sure I am not the only one who wants something like this. As I said, I have the look I want, it just could have been WAY easier. I imagine this would be a hugely popular app if someone were to take it on.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Lyian:
I was wondering. Does anyone know of a way to have the lock device show owner information (the name if nothing else)? I tried doing a search but like 500 different 'lock device' apps came up. The one im using is the one currently built into the energy rom (see sig for link).

Not a critical thing or anything, but a co-worker has the same device, and it would hurt to have my name on it as a 'just in case' element.

Last resort, i guess i could photoshop a background with that info in it, but that's a pain if i ever want to switch backgrounds.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] huggs:
I use S2U2 with the rom in my sig, and I think it has an option to show owner info, and its real easy to skin it to look however you want it to look so even if I'm wrong about the option, you could easily put your info on the wallpaper
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Lyian:
Yea, i use to use SU2U as well with the stock rom, but i didnt want to install it again due to "Lock Device" being installed, which would just be redundant.
