Thanks Ethermind....but I guess I didn't specify well. The issue is not that I cannot make a functioning CLOCK . That I can make ... programatically. However, I cannot print it to the screen. I am trying to use DrawText (GDI), but it always seems to fail. The rectangle area is correct, the text is valid, the length should be good, the HDC is correct, and the flags for positioning are all valid and can work together. I am simply stuck as to why it won't work. Then half the time it will print random characters, but not the text.

I don't know of any other ways to draw text to the screen ... if I did, I would be able to polish this off quickly...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ethermind:
BTW you can use not text for clock but images with digits 0..9:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Hey ... I will probably just make an Image-Based clock. I have tinkered TOO much with this dumb issue of drawing text. i will have to figure it out eventually, but I think the issue is that my code is so unorganized and messy that something is going wrong somewhere and I am not noticing. Also, with an Image based clock, it becomes more user customizable. Settled. You'll have to give me a little more time to accomplish this however. Maybe tonight I will release a new version WITHOUT a clock. Annoying, yes...but I am itching to hear about bugs so I can fix them in the next release.

By the way, the next release WILL BE 3.0 . I am planning major improvements. I am practically re-writing the whole program again. I want to convert the program into a couple of Core DLLs, so i can use them later for other lockscreens. I will try to make this into a speed improvement.

Hi.

I'm wondering if there is a contact app for android which has similar intergration with facebook like the htc sense got? Would be nice for vanilla roms :-)
[General Topics] A.J:
hey guys

how you doin all, hope u keeping well

i just wanna ask ya cuz i wanna buy new htc which is better

htc touch pro2 or htc hd

:D

thanx in advanced
[General Topics] orb3000:
Rhodium is much better on my opinion!
[General Topics] denco7:
TP 2 , HTC should always keep a hard keyboard in the Android and WP7s product line.
[General Topics] orb3000:
Cold not be more agree!!

Hope HTC comes soon with something interesting for both ;)platforms
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I would probably go with the HD2, simply because of the much larger screen (which is also capacitive) and the 1GHz Snapdragon processor. The Rhodium is a fine device, and the keyboard is unparalleled, but the internal processor sucks to say the least, and the resistive screen cannot even be compared to the capacitive one on the HD2. Both devices are excellent though, so no matter which you choose, you can't make the wrong choice.
[General Topics] sirphunkee:
+1

That's your real decision in this...do you need the (world's best) keyboard bad enough to accept some of the (still awesome) TP2's relative shortcomings? Or can you get as comfortable with typing/swyping on this big gorgeous screen as many of us have done now.

EDIT: and just so everybody knows (and as you can see), orb3000 has arranged for some custom scripting that auto populates any thread with "TP2 vs" in the title, with a post of his saying "Rhodium is much better in my opinion!"...automatically and immediately as soon as the thread is posted :p lol j/k...he's just very passionate about his qwerty, and with good reason!

I think OP refers to Blackstone HD.

haha thank you so much guys and yes i was talkin about the hd 1 not 2 and i already have O2 XDA Stealth and i do have HTC Touch Pro 1 and now ill go to the store and see what to buy TP2 or HD hehe ill check the price too hehe ... thank you so much again guys
[General Topics] Zd0s:
TP2 has a qwerty keyboard

the HD has a big screen

apart from that the hardware is exactly the same
[General Topics] galaxys:
Get the HD if you don't need a physical keyboard.

plus the blackstone's cheaper ;)

I just thought i would share this with you guys. The Software is called PointUI for those of you who don't know. Google it.

This is my phone after i have added themes and applets.

I love this UI and it works perfect for me. I hope you like it also.

I have tried this. its a very smooth, beautiful interface but it got really irritating after a while. the same kinda freedom isnt there. the sart menu shortcut key is a headache. the best interface i have come across is sense (SPB).

[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] android007:
I remember when I had my myTouch, you could essentially pull the framework-res.apk file, modify it using a program like 7zip which keeps the file verified, then push it back to the phone.

It was nice and easy changing the graphics. Was wondering if anyone's tried this with their Slide so far? I know sometimes (only if done wrong) it could cos infinite boot = nandroid. Not sure I want to try it just yet, anyone out there doing any themeing so far? If so, how'd you do it?
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] tubaking182:
there is a theme forum for this phone, please post this in there(there is also already a post in there full of people trying)
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] bmfc187:
Im working on one right now...i got the red slide but it has no red themes to speak of...the Fuzzy_Kittens one has a kindof a red theme to it, but all the selectors and highlights and button_press's are all still blue, and its UGLY. so im working on eradicating all the blue, in favor of red.

For the most part its the same as themeing for the G1. There's a LOT more apks in /system to make changes to, and ive found that theres TWO frameworks to take care of, the normal android framework-res.apk, and the also in /system/framework there is com.htc.resources.apk, which is apparently htc's version of framework-res. it contains all kinds of images called common_<whatever>.png and this is where i found the files that make up the default "Nest" theme. all the other themes that you can choose for the Slide are in .apk form and up until we had root i was modifying and installing the apk's to theme this puppy, but i could never find the .apk for the default theme...well thats why, the default theme is in com.htc.resources.apk, and its the default espresso theme, not a tmobile theme.

Im still working on my theme, its not ready yet, i just had yesterday to work on it, and ive made some progress, but i still have to get a generic 2.1 ROM to build so i can extract the xmls from it to inject into the ROM to change colors that are coded like progressbars, white backgrounds, etc. so whenever i get time for that ill be rollin...then i wanna try to get colorchange.jar to work on SlideMEROOT2 so i can change the clock and notif. text and stuff...alll in due time!

You have to de-odex the framework-res and the com.HTC.resources to theme

even though you sound like a di*k. Good find I had been theming using de-odexed files but I'll give this a try.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] bmfc187:
Honestly you're kinda right, I do come off sounding like a **** a lot...sorry didn't mean for it to come out that way...

anyway yeah you can do it without deodexing, I'm just using winrar to extract the whole ROM to a folder, then I go into and extract all .apks using 7zip (winrar doesn't recognize .apk files, you hafta rename them to *.apk.zip, but 7zip works on .apks without renaming them at all). Then I just modify or replace whatever images then inject them into a copy of the ROM .zip and resign and reflash...works great for me!

How do you know if its necessary to update the radio?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
Do you have bad signal?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
I always like to have the latest and greatest. I figure Google have made some improvements in the newer radios they release. I have heard, but not sure I believe, that in some instances and locations, people have had better performance with older radios. I have always noticed and improvement or no change at all.

I am currently using 4.06.00.12_7 and it has the best reception and performance for me so far.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.crump:
Thanks for the help. My reception isn't bad but, looking at the coverage maps in my area, I think it should be better. I think I'll just stick with the radio I have though. One last question. When google starts with the OTA Froyo update, will the radio then also be updated?

Thanks again
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
Yeah most probably. The Froyo's that are circulating around has the radio while some are custom and gives you the option to install radio on the side. But most probably it will have a new radio.

[EVO 4G General] psx2p:
So i call them up last Friday asking if they had any EVOs and the guy says "No but if you pre-order now we guarantee you will have it next week" so I decide to go with the shack due to the extra $20 in accessories and the fact that he guaranteed it to be there.

so I called this past Wednesday to ask if they had them in yet and the people told me it would be here on Friday, So i wait until today then call them at noon and ask, they tell me "we are waiting on the truck" and ALL throughout the day that is the only excuse i get is the truck and to call back in an hour or a half an hour until I finally went in and the guy says " Oh they will be here Monday" so I ask "why was i guaranteed Friday and given the run around all day?" he responds "I will take your name down for the manager and you will definitely have one Monday".

I feel like they lied through there damn teeth to have me buy the $50 card and lock me in or at least make a $50 profit because really what do they sell that is worth spending the cash on?......... then I will have to get another $50 to cover the gift card if I were to buy from another store.

Think that's bad? try getting a replacement from them if your Evo is getting more mess up (screen is raising higher and major light leakage now). I called every radioshack up to 50 miles from where I'm from and all of them saying there's none in stock and are only doing pre-order or so their saying. Who knows if their saying out of stock only to lure the new customer with their preorder crap. Very fustration I'm telling you.

I know warranty is up to 1 year for manuafacture defect and also have the 7 dollars insurance through Sprint but I just want to go in and out with a new device without waiting since this is a manufacture defect.

I know the feeling, mine has major light leakage now, and I called Sprint because I had ordered mine on release day, and put me on hold only for some rep to tell me they are not taking orders over the phone even more, even for defective products, I had to go to a corporate store and get put on a waiting list. I was like WTF? Went to the corporate store and they would only tell me they would add me to a waiting list, and didn't know when the phones would be in, they are estimating 1 week. Store Manager didn't even apologize, that made me even madder, thinking about telling them to shove it and wait on the next new android phone to come out, especially since I bought mine off contract, bought my wife's with her upgrade and no problems with hers.

Have you ever worked in retail? Honestly, most of these people will tell you what they know, and a lot of these things are out of their control.

Contrary to popular belief, most people that help you at retail stores and restaurants are not out to ruin your life and steal your money, wife, job, etc. Their normal people just like you, and most of them do really try to help you out.

Here is another one....On June 16th I found a new "in stock" Evo sold by Amazon. I went through the checkout and selected "overnight" shipping. I filled out the payment info and just as I clicked down on the confirm purchase button I saw the small print at the bottom saying that the order should arrive on June 30th!! 2 friggin weeks?!?!? Luckily I hadn't released my mouse button and got out of it.

lol, thats retail for you. reguarless they have to say they guarantee it, because thats radioshack's policy, who wants to take a loss from their job. their not worried, so at the end of the day its not their problem. just like anywhere else in retail.. you WILL get the phone but at the end of the say the wait is your loss lol

[Hero CDMA General] Dave2582:
Try removing the facebook account altogether in manage account section (within the account and sync settings). That worked for me.
[Hero CDMA General] ElAguila:
In the people app I have only the phone contacts selected. Where I see the facebook contacts is if I am in the phone app and I start scrolling through the list from the phone app or if I create a shortcut that is Direct Dial. In those 2 cases it shows the facebook contacts eventhough in the address book the google and facebook contacts are not checked.
[Hero CDMA General] Dave2582:
What got rid of my facebook contacts is if you are looking at the main screen, you go to menu, then settings, then accounts and sync. If you have facebook at all in that menu, remove it completely. None of my facebook contacts comes up any more if I'm in the people menu or phone menu at all.

That's all I know.

Guys, about 90% of the time when i send a text message, of any size, to anyone, i get a 'message can not be sent' notification and the phone vibrates, this happens about 2-7 times before the text message is sent, and for each time it tries to send the text again, this amount is send to the recipient, for example if it retries 7 times i will send the message 7 times - very annoying

when using the froyo rom from both paul and richardtrip i did not have this issue, although i am almost certain this was due to the stock messaging app, i even tried using handcent on the froyo which i used on the stock and on the froyo it worked perfectly too, but handcent will not work on the stock rom.

so it seems to me that it is an issue with either the stock (sense based) rom or the htc messaging app

im on tmobile UK on a branded phone, this happens on any radio, both rooted and unrooted

does anyone have any advice, or know of a way to replace the htc messaging app with the stock android messaging app?

if i could get this sorted id be very happy, so i appreciate any help :)

thanks in advance

[Desire General] cgrec92:
Thanks everyone for your replies

So it is confirmed that it is an issue with the HTC messaging app but not with the stock android messaging app, and no messaging clients can fix this as they use the default messaging app.

Is there anyway to change the HTC messaging app with the stock android? I prefer it anyway it works much better, the official froyo release will also contain the stock messaging app which I guess will have the same problem.

I will try flashing a different radio

Setting the phone to WCDMA only does not fix the issue
