[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aitese:
In terms of photos, why don't you just drag and drop...you don't really need to use an importing tool. That seems overly complicated for what you want.

On the video side of things, you have two formats to choose from. 3gp and Mp4. When you're shooting video there's a tab on the left. Pull it out and at the bottom is the settings. You can then choose "Encoding type" and switch. I believe you'll get the best compatibility with Mp4.

The reminders thing? I have no clue.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vilbs:
1. Issue with sync - OK I will drag and drop. The importer utility is normally quite handy as it only unloads images that havent already been unloaded etc; etc;

2.

I have the choice out of H.263 and MPEG4. Both options output a .3gp file (I presumed that MPEG4 should output a .MP4). Both .3gp give the following message in VLC player "No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "samr". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this." Media player doesnt give me a message it just doesnt give audio. Google this tells me that there is no easy way to solve this. So how come it works for you?

3. "...Yeah, there's no way around this one. Bummer..." Bummer indeed :(

Oh well - thanks for your answers guys but I would really love to try and sort this video issue. Incidentally its the same with sound recordings - they use the same samr codec which basically cant be used :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aitese:
Ah, well it seems both RealPlayer and Quicktime can play back the videos encoded with the mp4 or H.263 format.

EDIT - And also Windows Media player. I have read that VLC can't play them due to licensing issues for the AMR sound format.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haggisuk99:
download and install the k-lite codec pack it will include the classic player which is more than capable of playing these videos. I did have an issue with my vids i was recording when i was making a recording that lasted longer than 10 minutes, it was almost as if the card was too full record properly however the recorder still carried on going, this can be recognised when you press stop on the video recording and it goes straight back to the desktop instead of the camera. when this occurs nothing will play the file as it is corrupt. it must have been a third party program i had installed as when i defaulted the device the problem stopped and it would record as normal.

Hello guys i just wana say something, and maybe some of the cookers who think the same way can cook something like this.

Here is full with many new ROM`s for our Blackstones but mostly they are with Manila 2.5 Sense and they are very very heavy ROM`s and not Run like it must to be on our device.. for that reason i use only ROM`s with 2.1 Sense because of the speed but even 2.1 Sense cant beat the speed and feel of TF3D 2.1.XXX so i know there is avalible ROM like this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=592632

from Topix but its Old Build, my question is can anyone cook a clean 6.5 Build for example some of the latest build from COM 2 21903 and to cook in the latest TF3D 2.1.XXX not sense anymore.

By clean i mean all files that the useless or all aplications that can be installed via cab to be removed from the ROM. Because some of the apps get updates all the time so you just can uninstall and install the new one via cab.. this can heppand only if the apps are not cooked in the ROM.

So for what im talking is a Super Fast ROM for everyday use, and on the same time good battery consumation, also everyone know how fast can be the old TF3D also i cant imagine a copressed TF3D with some other tweaks what will heppand... and how fast and sensitive will be.

Often we forgot that the main function of our devices is a Phone so often when there are heavy ROM`s the dialer is slow.. when someone calling you the respond is slow and things like this, what we really need is a Fast Device and fast Dialer fast response time when someone calling you to not have a delay and things like this.

If anyone who can cook wana make such a ROM will be awesome.

Thanks

I totally agree with you, would be nice if a chef could cook this up for us :D

You should try this :

Direct link : http://www.sendspace.com/file/0r6fx8

it's italian but I could even translate it into WWE...or edit it in such a way...

if I would have a good reason to do this... ;)

Flash and try and let me know through PM... :)

greets!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tsalta:
Dude we talk about WWE ROM because i don`t understand anything from Italian:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rdrooster:
After many roms tested and tried (2.5), I was surprised with how fast 2.1 is. Never going back to 2.5 anymore. But I don't mind having 2.1 sense though.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Kenia1234:
Ok...but just try it... :)

don't do anything else...

I mean...Once I tried a Dutch ROM...I didn't understand a word...but I could watch how that ROM was...

now you should do the same...try how do you feel with that ROM and let me know what you think about it...and we could talk through PM...

and then reflash with a WWE ROM... :) ok?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tsalta:
Why to speak over PM for that reason i open a Thread everyone to can say what he/she think about this, so i dont mind to try the rom if there was avalible WWE translation of the ROM because i can see its good but what to do then? just Nothing.

And i don`t like the idea because few times you mention i can translate it if i have reason :) Also to write you in PM witch not sound GOOD.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] leyley:
me too :rolleyes::o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Kenia1234:
you could try and tell me what you think...

I just meant that if you liked the ROM and there were some other people willing for this I would have considered the idea to develop a WWE version...

that's all...

I simply don't understand this :

What do YOU mean??

I was not asking for anything...I just wanted to answer to your question...

and I believe that talk through PM is easier...but if you wanna talk in this thread I obiouvsly agree...

I just wanted to know if you like it...

that's all...

if you hate PM write in this thread!! :)

Faster ROM is needed!!!

I was about to post something similar. Lately I've been quite disappointed with the performance of my Blackstone, especially the latest ROMs. I think too much attention is being paid to introducing new features from the latest devices at the expense of the speed. The lack of speed is quite frankly makes a device totally unusable despite all the new features.

To the OP: I'm not sure if it's a Sense/TF3D issue, as these can be either disabled or installed separately, but totally agree with bringing up the subject.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hling:
The most clean rom: Mario super lite (WM6.1 & WM6.5).

They are old builds but very stable and low memory & power eating.

I have tried most of roms from cookers here but always go back to these two.(Keep backups from two roms.) Now I using wm6.1 with SPB Mobile SHELL. :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tsalta:
The TF3D is very very fast and Smooth so the diference is that the icons are not coloured but you can do it with a single cab also there have not my location service on the weather tab and you dont have the weather under the clock in the home screen but i ask myself HOW many times i watch the weather in the home tab under the clock? the question is Never all we can agree its more eye candy and beautyfull but is not usefull and many other things in the new SENSE are just for eye candy so befor a long time when i was using old TF3D i still remember for example when i tab to update the weather via WiFi the weather Update for around a half seconds WOWWW now with all the new SENSE things.. all the tabs are much more slower you need to wait the weather to be Updated and things like this.. Also i miss in the Album tab the Auto Rotation i can`t believe that this was removed from the new Builds because this was really usefull i mean when you click to see some image and you rotate the screen the image fit the whole screen really fast no matter how you rotate the screen, i dont know why this was removed...

Many peoples will say you can do this for example with G-config but the question is why to use 3rd Apps to make something that is made to be like this by default also the Auto rotation of the Album was really fast and smooth without delay.

Now with all this knowlage i mean the CFC Compression and all other regs tweak that we know and new Stuffs i can`t imagine what will be if someone create such a ROM WM 6.5 Based with Copmressed TF3D also can be compresed the Phone Canvas the dialer Images to be lighter and the whole graphics...to be compressed for example see the Blackstonehange ROM`s how they are smaller size than all other because of this compression of all images under windows.

This can be really a Rocket ROM for everday use..

There already have clean ROM`s without Manila and Titatnium.. Okay they are clean ROM`s but honestly is bored to use such as big screen without good UI and you need to use Apps like SPB Shell or other like that to have some UI because is ugly to have one empty big screen without a UI..

I think that the Manila UI is a good also the new SENSE is good but its not made for us.. and the Blackstone feel confortable with the old TF3D so with all this new things coming to the forum and all cooking expirience im sure that now someone can create really a Rocket ROM and you to feel Speed,Smoothnes,response time and to Enjoy the Blackstone to love to scrolling and to love to use it.. not to wait 5 seconds the Music in the Music tab to be loaded and things like this...

I Hope someone really to create some kind of HYBRID ROM from all the Best in one simple ROM
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] User X:
Thanks for this! I like it! I might keep it ;)

A perfect example of what we're talking about. I don't care about autorotations and stuff like that. If I did I would get an iPhone I guess :p. Speed and stability that's what it should be all about!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bodisson:
Ummm, yes...

I'm waiting to see what will happen here:

TOPIX_Kwbr_Win 6.5_Ver_21877 + TouchFLO3D 2.1.38411.0 (supposedly Kwbr will update this once he gets his HD working) and here: [ROM][WM6.5/6.5.x][21903/23116][WWE][UC] Clean ROM v. T1.0/B1.0*****03.05.2010*****

But I really like Manila 2.1.19212117.2 which is cooked in Wajk's ROMs.

It handles contacts and mail accounts much more to my liking than TF3D.

But I'll watch this thread too... ;)

If anyone can integrate MY location Services from the Sense to the Touch FLO 3D this sill be Incredible and will be the best choice at all here you can read why NOW i prefer SENSE than the Touch FLO.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Archer:
Hi all.

Okay, I come from a PC development background, and the windows fonts folder is pretty straight-forward. You put a font in there and it is "installed" and becomes one of the fonts in any application that lists them.

The folder on Windows Mobile is empty though, and putting things in there has unusual effects!

I recently installed a lockscreen mod that someone made for WVGA devices, and it looked very nice. The problem was that it used a specific font, and doesn't work as well without it. So, the dev linked the font and I downloaded it and put it in the windows\fonts folder, as common sense would dictate. (The font is called lcars.ttf, btw.)

This font then started showing up in other applications though. One of the versions of the facebook app used it, and IE started to use it too. This is why I'm a bit "uhhh?" at the idea of the windows fonts folder on PPC.

I'm guessing that the apps that had problems were not using specifically named fonts, but as to why they defaulted to just "whatever's in that folder" is beyond me!

Can anyone explain that strange behaviour and, better still, suggest a fix for it?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chmckay:
I don't know why the fonts folder acts like this, but this has been the behavior since PPC2000 days. Instead, just copy the font to the \Windows folder. It will still be selectable AND other applications won't default to using it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Archer:
Cheers mate - I'll give that a go.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bruce_wayne:
I have been a big fan of android since the pre cupcake days and have really enjoyed watching android grow becoming bigger and better all the time.

Its almost contract renewal time and im unsure what to do. the obvious choice would be the desire, but its lack of physical keyboard and complicated way to gain root are bad points. the other choice would be the nokia n900 running maemo 5. it has a physical keyboard and is very easy to gain root access.

So im stuck and thought i would ask the community to share their thoughts on both devices and systems to create a list of pros and cons.

Any comments you wish to share would be great. Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] slovoflud:
hi, my friend has an n900 and to be honest as much as I hate Nokia that piece of hardware is solid. resistive touchsceeen is very responsive to touch. it really feels as capacitive plus you get the accuracy of the stylus. and obviously the hard keyboard.

but, talking about maemo... its ugly. I felt it wasn't finished and thought through. as a sense UI user I felt it was a tipical bold and ugly Nokia UI. I'd compare it as XP to Windows7.

on the other hand the guy is a programmer and the things he showed me he programmed for his Nokia were impressive. full Linux.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bruce_wayne:
I understand what you mean about meamo seeming appearing unfinished. maybe it will grow as android has? but it doesnt have the popularity so perhaps its worth sticking with android. i dont know lol.

pros for maemo so far are; that root is simple, theme installation is easy, backups without entering recovery mode. hacking and programming appears to be closer to debian. (to be honest that doesnt effect me as im not a programmer but its obviously going to be usefull to alot of people)

cons; nokia :( , not android, confusing ui, ovi store has lack of good apps, no xda support.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ramdroid77:
I have no clue about Nokia but I know there's no big developer support. if Desire is too complicated to root, why don't you consider Nexus one? Besides that it's also the phone that will receive new OS updates FIRST.... see upcoming Android 2.2 - and if you want a QWERTY then wait for Nexus two. And there's also the QWERTY phone from Motorola (which btw are also doing the N2)

****! I can't believe I'm recommending Android devices. But I'm innocent... Microsoft made me do it!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] safsephiroth666:
Well having them both for a couple of days I've kept the Desire. I have it for almost a month and I still can't stop playing with it. It's so polished and so fast. The single best cellphone I've ever used. N900 has it's own advantages, but it's too unpolished and doesn't have enough developer support to be my primary phone. It's good as a secondary phone for experimenting, but as a main phone the desire is the one to beat.

And it took me 15-20 mins to root the desire and it is my first root. So not that complicated. Top tip: use paul's r3 root method (using a tinycore linux live cd) for minimal problems. Windows only method can be a little jerky from user to user.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bruce_wayne:
i like the sound of this. i seem to be very mistaken about the desire being hard to root.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] the_fish:
As the N900 was compared to a mobile computer by Nokia themselves i think it's self explanatory. You can't compare these two Operating Systems as Maemo focuses on open-ness and easyness to port stuff that's based on Qt for example. (I guess that's the reason why they chose to use resistive TS, easier to use desktop-like apps)

Android on the other hand, focuses on making use easier for the end-user, open-ness is just a nice side feature of it, but Apps should be based on the APIs google provides, however you are allowed to do anything with them :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nightstormc:
I also have a Desire and im finding it to be a really nice phone, there are a few niggles but most things can be sorted with an application or a bit of searching. It's better now i have rooted it as all my applications are now stored on my SD card instead of on the limited memory. I found the guide from Nimbu to be a very easy and quick guide to follow. You should be able to find it on google since i cant post the link from being a new user :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bruce_wayne:
will have a look for that guide when i have some spare time. thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mr_skot:
I had an N900 for about 4 weeks before the Nexus One was released. I really loved that device. Like others are saying, it feels solid. Screen is beautiful, and who can complain about 32 gigs built in, with another 8+ on the miniSD. Browsing = Awesome with full flash support. Stereo speakers sound great. QWERTY keyboard is a little bit of a bummer cause the top row is so close to the case. And the earbuds sound FANTASTIC! Better then some I've purchased from electronics stores.

Here's the real bummer. Nokia didn't capitalize on the N900 as much as they could have. Their shipping and support from NokiaUSA was abysmal. (I ordered when the site said 'IN STOCK' and after 3 weeks I cancelled the order and purchased one via eBay).

I wish I could say I was pleased with Maemo 5. The N900 comes with a few good apps, and more can be found through the Ovi store (when it was working).

I'd say stick with Android for this simple reason. It seems Nokia is letting the N900 die on the vine and has left everything about the device up to the Maemo community. They've even made statements regarding coming out with other smart mobile devices (Nokia N8) and is putting effort into a new version of Symbian.

If you are a Linux dev and would like to have fun coding for your own device, you can't ask for a better smartphone.

If you enjoy the Android platform, the variety of apps available in the market, and love the XDA forums then you'll be happier with an Android device.

Maemo minus intel's x86 = the suck

with x86 and you could run linux programs and windows programs with wine. It would however be alot less phone like than Android.

Android is already growing fast every month. Problem is the Java layer and compiling for Arm.

Maemo's only real hope is x86 for phone. If that happens however I'd get it in a heart beat. Old games like Baldur's gate would be easy enough for anyone to get working. Otherwise it's just a me too operating system. Like BEOS.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bruce_wayne:
It has a few ports of old games running well now. Transposrt tycoon runs well on the n900.

Just don't know if I can leave android. There's so much developer support that android constantly evolves. I love it :)

From what I have seen, Meamo doesn't seem to change. And app development appears to be very slow. On the ovi store, and other sources, new apps or updates don't often arrive.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wanderphx:
Maemo

From comparisons and ability to customize things on the phone Maemo seems to be the best. I own an Omnia SCH-i910 with WM6 but am keeping an eye on Maemo OS phones hoping they take off.

What I want most from my phone besides features is open source program compatibility and ability to customize interface, ICS, and data access.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chalup:
I have used the N900 for a while and just recently picked up the Vibrant (Galaxy S). There are many features I miss from the N900/Maemo. A huge one is universal, standard commands such as ctrl+c,x,v, etc. It was so easy to select text with the stylus then manipulate with keyboard shortcuts. Copying and pasting text on the Vibrant has been a bad experience in comparison.

Another major thing that the Maemo OS does better IMO is multitasking. It has true multitasking, and switching between and closing applications is intuitive and very well implemented. However, the way Android does things probably helps battery life, and after getting used to it I have no complaints.

For me, Android is an overall better choice due to its practicality for every day use. What I like more about the N900/Maemo is its multitasking and that it is literally a mini linux PC, yielding much more control and functionality for power users.

Anyone can easily install "Easy Debian" from the maemo.org repository, granting access to many repositories containing countless Debian packages. Once installed, they be launched from within Maemo or an LXDE that runs as an application within Maemo, therefore allowing simultaneous phone functionality. So in my opinion wine isn't that important for the n900, unless there is something you absolutely need that won't run on ARM based architecture...
