you cannot do that because symbian and WM are completely different platforms....

the best you can do is to search if the same app is available for windows mobile
[HD2 General] gancho:
I have been patiently waiting for the update that was made available yesterday afternoon so I downloaded and updated my phone. Since it resets everything I really didn't get around to doing much with it last night. This morning I started to get my phone setup and noticed the sensitivity seems to have worsened, sometimes considerably, over what I had before.

Scrolling has become less responsive, the X (close) button needs to be pressed a few times rather frequently, the buttons on the bottom row of the screen do not seem to respond very well either anymore, and lastly it just doesn't quite feel the same. Of all the problems I have been having with my HD2, screen sensitivity (accuracy could be a bit better) was not one of them until now.

Is there a way to calibrate the screen that I was not able to find on the phone? Anyone else notice any difference after updating?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm having the same issue but over all the new ROM is more stable.

Align

Start > Settings > All Settings > System > Scroll down to Align

Cheers

Also look for an App called TouchMark (think I found it on OMarket).

Neat little App that shows you exactly where you are touching the screen.

Maybe you have lost your touch :)

Also I use BsB to lower sensitivity of the screen which assists me greatly with typing.
[HD2 General] gancho:
Thanks for the tip but the "align" button is not in that folder on my phone. I searched and didn't find it anywhere else either.

After having a full day use with my phone the screen sensitivity is still a bit flaky, I would say it is worse than it was before I upgraded the rom. As for stableness, I have had several random data disconnects and small lags here and there that I didn't notice before. Unfortunately the audio lag has not been fixed. I should quit while I am ahead.

The summary is I want them to get the basic functionality of the phone to work and in doing so, please do not mess up the few things that are working, such as screen sensitivity. I am curious how long before the next rom update.

On a separate note, does anyone know where we can see a list of what they fixed in this rom?

Thanks!

Align?

Start > Settings > All Settings > System >"""screen""',, then align on mine hd2
[HD2 General] ProjektFuze:
??? are people on this thread a little confused??

going to the screen settings is NOT going to fix what the rom update did... the scrolling is considerably worse... not the accuracy...

for some reason, when i scroll through things.. its slow, laggy, and choppy.. its probably the most ridiculous "update" ever.. it simply made the phone worse... i wish i could go back to my previous rom.. before the official update.. i had absolutely NO problems with the scfreen sensitivty.. in fact.. i had no issues with it at all.. don't even know why i upgraded... pity...

and there is a fix thread floating around the TMobile HD2 forusm somewhere.. but that fix doesn't even get it remotely close to how it used to be.. now if someone could report exactly what the settings are on the stock TMoUS rom in the registry BEFORE updating to the official update.. it would help out enormously for the hackers who can fix what TMo has done to our phones...
[HD2 General] kcab87:
people people dont fret!! just install HD2Tweak and look for the option that allows you to increase sensitivity and there ya go! there are 4 levels of sensitivity and i set mine to high and its perfect.
[HD2 General] gancho:
Iquigley- Unfortunately I do not have a "Screen" button in my system folder...

Just to clarify my original post in case it was confusing, although I believe accuracy could be better I did not notice a change in the accuracy of the screen, just a drop in sensitivity. Scrolling now has a tendency to stick and launch an app instead of actually scrolling. That doesn't seem to be happening as much now so I might have just adjusted to the new "feel" of the phone.

Can anyone confirm that it is just a setting that needs to be changed? At this point I avoid adding new apps to the phone if possible since I am afraid it will break something :s

Thanks!
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
The screen option in settings is hidden on the T-Mobile HTC HD2. You can make it visible in the registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen

Set the value of "Hide" to 0 (currently it is 1). Then the screen option will be visible in the system folder under all settings.
[HD2 General] jonyid:
i went to do the registry change and cant find pen under control panel, is it under another sub folder?
[HD2 General] gancho:
Thanks Tobiascrystal. I am confused why they would have that hidden in the first place. I have been trying to avoid having to change registry settings but I might just be shooting myself in the foot by doing so. I will check it out.

The skinnable version of Beautiful Widgets is now released to the Market. Visit the Market (QR Code below) to purchase, or check your Market updates if previously purchased for this exciting new version!

As some of you may know Beautiful Widgets has released their Skinnable version of Beautiful Widgets. I thought it would be great to have a place where we can share tips and skin files for this very popular Widget!

The new release of Beautiful Widgets will not only include a lot of popular skins built it, but you will be able to easily install skins made by others, or you can create your own unique look(skin).

Here is the link to the "Skin Development Kit" http://levelupstudio.com/addons/bw/skindevkit.zip (SkinDevKit.zip UPDATED 01/25, adds support for skinning AM/PM )that has sample files for creating skins. Download and extract the files to a directory of your choice. Please read the contents of the included Readme.txt file for skinning instructions.

Important: Let's please try to keep this thread on topic as a place to post/share BW Skins and tips/tricks of how to make them!

Also, this thread is for sharing BW skins with each other, not for promoting BW skins for sale. If you've got a BW skin and want to show it off, please do so, BUT PLEASE post the skins in a Zip file for others to enjoy too!

no icons in home screen

hello,

i have installed beautiful widgets and added it to my home screen. i applied a skin but i doesn't show the icons of the sun or anything else.

i see the clock and the temperature but no icons. If i open it i see little icons in the bottom but not the big icon on top. i've downloaded some skin and applied them but still doesn't work.

What am i doing wrong? Can anyone help me please......
[Android Themes] SG_Shadow:
I would recommend uninstalling/reinstalling the app. Then see if the default skin shows the weather icon and other data. If so, follow rules listed above for proper skin installation. Hope this helps.

any ideas how bw organizes the .pngs of the numbers and am/pm...i've tried numerous sizes of the png's and i can't seem to get them numbers smaller without having huge spaces in between. Also the am/pm never lines up with the bottom of the numbers.
[Android Themes] SG_Shadow:
Really weird, I'm running the latest Cyanogen Mod which is eclair as well... Glad it's working for ya!

Not 100% sure how they organize the .pngs but what I do is just take a working skin and keep the sizes of those. For example, the sense ui skin numbers are sized 88x112. So when I go into photoshop, I reduce the size of the font until it fits inside that area perfectly. Works for me. And the AM/PM thing is like that even in the default skin. I don't think it will ever be perfectly lined up.

Update: I stand corrected. I'm working on a coca-cola skin and it appears to allow me to have the am/pm on level with the numbers. I don't have time to get into the specifics, on the way to work, gotta go...

I really wish I had the PS skills you guys have....

Does anyone know if there is a way to get just the weather without the clock? I really like the "letters" skin by Time Porter, but I really don't need the clock since I'm using Tajm. I have the binary blue clock enabled right now for lack of anything better.

What I'd LOVE to do is have the current weather in large font to the left of the widget, then the three day forecast over to the right without the clock.

Does anyone have any ideas?

i have an unrooted droid x, i would appreciate any suggestions.
[Android Themes] drew2000:
Which skin is it exactly? There are three items that have to have the same name for the skin: the folder name, the preview image, and the .txt file These should all have the same name. If they all do not then rename one of them that is different to the same name. Let me know what skin you are trying to use and I can check it or you, I only tested about five skins so there could have been some errors..................
[Android Themes] grego214:
edit: read your pm, im a nub and renamed the folders, works great now, thanks for your help
[Android Themes] drew2000:
There you go that is your problem, in the second screen shot I see that the sixth and seventh file is not matchiong the name of your folder "blue digits" rename the sixth file and the seventh file to "blue digits" like I said they all three have to match up. 01) the name of the folder 02) the name of the sixth file in your screen shot 03) and the name of the seventh file in your screen shot. So when you renamed it you caused the problem........
