[About XDA developers] ElCondor:
I am ElCondor, and I'm from Holland. You might know me from the GTX Sense theme.

Back in February, I started this job as a news writer, because I wanted to be part of and contribute to the xda-developers community.

Since then, I started to love writing these articles, and my English improved drastically.

My articles are mostly Android or Windows Phone 7 related.

You can always contact me if you have any suggestions or special requests. Also if you have found something newsworthy, something other users may enjoy too, just let me or any other newswriter know.

Best regards,

ElCondor

[About XDA developers] mic_888:
Hi guys, I've been around since 2007 when I bought the HTC Touch, well things have moved on a lot since then, and I've tried my hand at developing for WM and Android (still learning), but wanted to contribute more by becoming a News Writer for XDA :)

I write mainly Android articles, and some Windows Mobile. We're always sifting through the masses of threads for front page news, but do let me or the other guys know if you think anything is newsworthy including any breaking news!
[About XDA developers] egzthunder1:
I guess I will add my little "intro" in here as well :)

I'm egzthunder1 and I am the Portal Administrator as well as a Senior Moderator. I have been a XDA member for a very, very long time... since July 2005 to be more precise. I have gone through many devices, starting out with a Wallaby (SX56) and kept on going afterwards with many other devices (Blue Angel, Wizard, Vogue, Raphael, Herman, Mogul, and ultimately HD2)... most of which I still own and are fully functional. I have helped many, many people throughout these years, despite my lack of development ability. A few months ago, I became a News Writer based on a suggestion by Flar (Retired Admin) to try to increase the flow of people to the site by creating a more dynamic front page of the website, with up to date content about everything XDA. Shortly after, I became Senior Moderator, and really shortly after, due to Flar's departure, I became Editor in Chief and Portal Administrator.

I would like to invite all of you (as I stated in my first post in this thread) to let us (the news writer team) know if you know of something that would be cool to have in the front page.

Looking forward to your input and thanks for supporting XDA!

Sincerely,

egzthunder1
[About XDA developers] ben_duder:
Hi there!

I've been a member since 2008, when I got my Universal after having the Monet for some time. Although it was basic, the Monet forced me to get another Windows Mobile phone as I was instantly addicted to how much potential the operating system had - before then I could never really check emails, browse the internet or watch video without booting up my PC.

After the Universal came my much-adored Touch Pro, which I still use. I recently bought and fixed up a G1 so that I could branch out into the Android side of the site a little more, and I'm really enjoying tinkering with the system.

I wanted to become a news writer as I have always felt an urge to contribute to the community despite not having any technical knowledge (some of you might have seen me giving out dodgy advice around the forums ;)).

Having both phones should let me write articles about both Android and Windows Mobile, and I hope I can help if you want to get your story out on the front page.

[About XDA developers] swiss420:
Maybe something to expand on....

Found a website that analyzes the value of other sites.

What is the Website Value of XDA-Developers.com

It seems that xda-developers.com is being valued at $13.28 Million. With 1.66 Million Pages and with a World Wide rank of 1,806. Compared to that: Htc.com is only worth $12.66 Million :) Google is ranked 1 worth $8 Billion and Microsoft on rank 19 worth $1 Billion.

http://bizinformation.org/us/www.xda-developers.com

A little side note, my Blog only ranks at 1.4 Million and is only worth 7800.- :) For Obvious reasons.
[About XDA developers] orb3000:
Thanks for the information!

Not sure if we can write about that but I will find out
[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
Website valuation sites are notorius for being crazily inaccurate when it comes to valuing Forum sites and Blogs. They tend to be based on assumptions about traffic, potential sales and ad clicks. Few Blogs and Forums sell much if anything and that just leaves ad clicks. Forums are very poor at generating ad clicks as Members tend to become completely blind to the ads and don't click them at all. Much of the traffic to blogs and forums is repeat traffic and they are even less likely to click on the ads (not to mention ad blockers). When was the last time you click an ad on here!?

Mike
[About XDA developers] swiss420:
Absolutly true, and I am sure I did not motivate anyone to sell xda-developers.com. ;) But it is still a amusing evaluation. For me XDA-Developers.com has definetly much more continues value then htc.com but I guess one might not exist without the other. But regarding clicking adds I rather donate directly. But off course I donate to many different people not just XDA-Developers.com. Regarding the adds I wonder how much money they really generate? If they are useless I would not mind to see them gone. ;) Dont worry I will donate something for saying that. lol
[About XDA developers] chrialex:
Wait, there are ads here?!?!?!?!
[About XDA developers] madnish30:

'nuff said.

I love XDA, for not having those huge ugly pop up ads ! Now days some forums/portals have the ones which can't even be shut !

All hail XDA. It's worth can't be counted in millions or billions of dollars.
[About XDA developers] mike2nl:
He he, in the mean it is:

The site is ranked 1,702 in United States.
[About XDA developers] nikoskavliaris:
price less knowledge!!

as the guy stated the websites are mostly rated by how many clicks and traffic they have from ads as well. I believe the knowledge that this site provides it's priceless. And because it is distributed free the value ranks it to one of the most important (if not the most important) website from celphone developers to the least know hows users. This website I consider it the Great Library of Alexandria!
[About XDA developers] orb3000:

[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
Thank you, again awsom find. :)

LoL don't know what to say I was breaking my head on the bold font. ;)
[Windows Mobile] Cloudyfa:
You're welcome ;)
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
Cool fix....thanks...
[Windows Mobile] qbus00:
From what I see this is only a partial fix - you provided files from 235xx builds (gwes.exe is form 23569) ;).
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
Works like charm cooked in on 23123 build. Thanks Cloudy!:)
[Windows Mobile] c_shekhar:
Great find @cloudyfa my appriciations for you.

May I know whether these modules

gwes.exe

gwes.exe.mui

commctrl.dll

are picked up from some other build or have been modded by you?..
[Windows Mobile] operators:
What module I can use instead of gwes.exe.0409.mui

for cook in another language (i.e. 0410)?

i.e. gwes.exe.0410.mui from 235xx builds?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile] Cloudyfa:
It's an combination of different build.

Yes, you can.
[Windows Mobile] operators:
I did it!

(from 23563)

It works!

Thank you Cloudyfa. :)
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
Does this work only on 231xx builds? Or other COM builds with font issue as well? Has anyone tried on other builds other than 231xx builds?
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
Works on 216xx series as well. I guess this will work on any build.
[Windows Mobile] totalcmdext:
It's work in 216xx build.
[Windows Mobile] HD2Owner:
noone figured out the "real" boldfont fix?

let's work together...

the solution has to be in the photon/huashan/oboe ime packages....

can someone explain, wich of these files is defining the fontsize of the keyboard letters and "call" etc. in phonecanvas:

EzInputSettings.xml

EzInputSettings_SMS.xml

EzInputSettings_SMS_TUT.xml

EzInputSettings_TUT.xml

index.xml

ezinput.dll

HTCSipSrvc.dll

SIPUtil.dll

CheckIme.dll

eT9Dictionary.dll

eT9DisInput.dll

eT9ime.dll

eT9RegInput.dll
[Windows Mobile] formula84:
Don't have a clue, but I agree i don't think that mixing sys parts especially from a different AKU is a good idea. May work but who knows what it could be silently casuing issues with.
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
Dialer has bold fonts as well. So it might not be just ezinput pkgs.

IMO, need in to what gwes defines, and see what all it takes to fix that. But I sure dont know how to do that...lol:D
[Windows Mobile] formula84:
Looks like Energy roms are moving to

"# Official 6.5.3 build from the Huashan 23121! Fast !!!

# Bold fonts are gone.. fonts restored to 'normal'"

Seems he has a fix for bold fonts wondering if he is using this method or another?
[Windows Mobile] HD2Owner:
i just asked him via p.m.

he also replaced

gwes.exe

gwes.exe040X.mui

commctrl.dll

with com5 versions.

in com2, the softkeybar font is crisp and clear.

in com3, the softkeybar font is crisp and clear (but bold font in ime/dialer).

in com5, the softkeybar font is pixelated because of missing fontsmoothing.

notice.

i also tried to cook a 6.5.5-rom with the new font engine implemented by

replacing

gwes.exe

gwes.exe040X.mui

commctrl.dll

with the files from com3 (231XX), adding mgtt_o.dll / decompdll.dll

and adding the following keys:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\FontFiles\TrueType]
"EXT0"=multi_sz:".ttf",".ttc"
"EXT1"=multi_sz:".ac3"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\FontDrivers\Microsoft TrueType]
"File"="\\windows\\mgtt_o.dll"
"Order"=dword:10
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\FontDrivers\Microsoft AC3]
"File"="\\windows\\decompdll.dll"
"Order"=dword:10

the result was strange.... nothing happened. still no smooth font.

conclusion:

the way the skb-font is rendered is not only determined by the files mentioned above..

other files have to play a role in this smooth-skb-font-issue.
[Windows Mobile] formula84:
Thanks, I was hoping he had some other tricks up his sleeve, not sure I am comfortable replacing a module such as GWES, who knows what adverse affect this could have stability wise.
[Windows Mobile] lutanica:
I know that the file you are looking for is ezinput.dll (for keyboard letters) but I don't know how to edit the font or the font-color. I'm going nuts.

things change fast around here. try reading new threads before post useless request to fix an old problem from march
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tyler51773:
If your going to daddy me at least leave me a toy.

Wow learn to read. The android n00b thread people are still having these issues. Maybe something has changed but I have seen it. I see two categories of haret users those who work (miracles people who usually are using nand and may have some enviromental difference over us regular sdcard-hare ppl)..

If you can fix my issue fix it, but don't tell me its fixed when nothing says that. Albeit a night of going through all the updates on the different builds may produce results no one has done that in that particular thread (2, or 3, which upon someone coming up and saying this easy has ended up giving up) both threads are a bit different. One was supposed to be look how easy it is , with a few nand resistant fools getting every thing but sound. You sir are a troll... !#@@! @!# @#!@$!@@!

Seriously if you want new people using android put out a haret build that works... Don't make us n00bs flash our customized **** so we can say oh thats broke, i need that...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] blindguyinanorgy:
sorry if my tone was incorrect. let me try again

The link you posted refers to something that is not a problem any more or was due to old hardware, ie the button physically wasnt working.

k_k successfully used haret to test his build when he was working on the gps. that was the beginning of june

are you trying to say that the link is to YOUR problem? i cannot tell from the post of only a link. it looks like reading through this thread that you got past that problem.

if you need help please list your problem with as much detail as possible so i or someone else can help you.

if you are trying to make a case for haret dev, you should post links or quote more recent attempts and problems
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tyler51773:
Thanks for the news

Cool. I'll search up on that and post to the threads that I've been going to. It's just email never comes across very personable. People who say to read the entire forum get on my nerves or to search when I have is annoying because sometimes they have read it in an area I haven't landed and it like a race run condition due to bad communication. If you see something try to link it, glad I have a user name to search off, but if you can pt a better thread I'll be happy. Either way when I find it, I'll try to boot again maybe in a week or so. I'll be very happy if it does indeed work now, we'll see.. As far as my posting relating to haret, yet you can regain control of your buttons but if you actually read all of the thread you'll see it doesn't get better than that, it then is a sound issue. Either way haret is broken, and my point is that poor user from march is still suffering now, and this time its sound. I suspected that haret became broken due to the development direction towards nand. I.e. whatif system.file is reffed somehow as (NAND0,0):/initrd.gz. I mean droid when from system.img's to partitions so something very generic could lead to both issues esspecially if a user A who can't hear in haret, can hear in a nand install using the same release? See the modules and stuff are going to be the same. I hope your not wasting my time with the k_k bit...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] blindguyinanorgy:
no. he is one exmple of people who have it working. there are others, i just know him off the top of my head.

your first post was just as indirect. from that post i had no way of know you have been working on it. the specific link you post was probably not the best choice. with out direction from you i have no reason to go 2 links deep. not until you gave more description did i go into the xda thread where have been trying things.

yes there is still the sound issue. you could have gotten much better response if you had put something in the first post to indicate you specifically want the sound worked on.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tyler51773:
sound it is.

its just more like a watch me thread for people who care about haret. i posted a bug on vogue-android.. but the drift it haret is broken. been broken. its bad right now. can we fix it? or is it fixed already. you mentioned K_K do you mean this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6852911 or do you mean kalt_kafee kernel are they same guy? where you saying dpad was fixed versus just sound. I guess I'm going to try his latest update kernel, unless you've seen a better thread. I've already got to goto bed. Maybe that's why the guy never came back on my own thread cause i sent him to a new kalt kernel hehehe..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tyler51773:
sound working

Going through the list now. Thanks for the pointer. I'll will soon venture forward.

I got sound on an old androidinstall of unknown origin. it was freezing and unstable. I did not get sound ironically on VaniljEclair , the second install from the old android I also installed to system.img vs sdcard partition. trying warm

Aqtrans' CM-5.07 - nice and stable

warm eclair rls 1 - fast, worked great for a day then force closes all over

Incubus26Jc's SuperE beta 3 - still slow on kaiser

VaniljEclair 5.0.8 out! (not tested by me)

trying myn's warm donut then will try aqtrans'

you may have beaten the pepsi challenge.

Hi you all

I've got a problem each time i want to copy a mp3 file to "storage card".

At the end of copying, i've got a message telling me " maybe your phone want be able to use this file..." yes or ignore...

Of course, if i try to copy to the SD card, outside the phone, there is no problem.

Any idea ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] francois64:
It's me again

I just forgot to explain that the problem is only for mp3 files.

If i rename a "mp3" files as a "mp32" files, the problem disapears !
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] francois64:
Thank you all, i must be the only one having this problem...

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
Have you tried to copy when connected as a hard disk?

When I try to copy files through Pocket Controller, I get an error that the file is in use. I've never tried renaming it but I suspect that your's is a similar issue.

Connect as a hard disk (when USB to PC connection menu pops up, select hard disk, do not set as permanent connection though) and the error should go away.

In case you need to revert for warranty service or just for fun.

Taken from a never before booted unmodified unit. Enjoy!

http://www.4shared.com/file/T0ekY2XN/mytouch_slide_factory_nandroid.html

Note: These instructions assume a certain level of technical skill considering if you have the need to revert you have already rooted and flashed your devices at least once. Ensure you have flashed the factory version of the radio and splash1 partition prior to returning to this image for everything to be factory (note: splash1 can currently be nothing other than factory as there is not an SPL with security off at this time).

1) Unpack these files to your phones sdcard in to a directory named: clockworkmod/backup/factory

2) Boot in a ClockworkMod Recovery

3) Select wipe data/factory reset

4) Select nandroid; restore; select the directory named factory ; wait for restore to complete

5) Reboot

Curious if anyone has performed a nandroid restore with the Slide via the stock/clockwork recovery method. My thinking here is if a nandroid restore is possible, with this backup we can return the phone to an absolute un-rooted stock state. Is that correct? Any insight is appreciated.
