[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ddphillipsjr:
i have a t-mobile htc touch pro 2, and i would like to have the animated weather on my home page, but i am not sure how to do so. would i need to flash sense 2.1 or sense 2.5 on my phone? also, where would i be able to located the ROM for Sense 2.1 or 2.5? and would it work if the my ROM version is 1.91.531.4

thanks so much for the help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] OndraSter:
ROM 1.91 from TMOUS has included Sense 2.1, but it has just disabled front page weather animation (because it quite slows down whole Manila), I suggest you searching a bit how to enable it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 13rannon:
Ok so this notification just started on my Eris! when I get a message(only text not emails) this grey envelope with a arrow on it comes up in my notifications even after I’ve read and replied to the message its still there until I click it and i take me to the message that ive already replied to. I’ve turned of all settings has far as auto retrieve and text notification but it still comes up! I deleted a bunch of apps thinking maybe one of them was causing this. I called htc they had no answers but to do a hard reset and lose everything not something I want to do! So if ya know something that would help please let me know thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] 13rannon:
I found a fix

Aspotcat can be downloaded from the market it will show you what is running with ur text. found out some weird app was on there but no where to be found in my phone deleted it and problem solved!
[Droid Eris Android Development] vash8806:
Okay..seems like you have two text message applications....

IF thats the case, then try the following:

Your stock application can be reached from the app drawer...go there and then open the stock sms application...then go to settings and remove the check next to "notification"....

Now you should only have a notification every time you receive a text from the secondary application you're using..(i.e., handcent, byte sms, etc)

Now if you did that and your message is still showing..delete all of the messages in the stock application...this should clear it...or then simply open every single text up..(im sure you're running threaded messaging so it'll be a little eaiser)

If that still doesnt work...repeat the following using your secondary messaging application (handcent..blah blah)

Now if you did that and your message is still showing..delete all of the messages in the stock application...this should clear it...or then simply open every single text up..(im sure you're running threaded messaging so it'll be a little eaiser)

If you're still having problems...and are on a rooted rom....reflash a custom rom and you'll be fine!!

Hi everybody,

I was looking around for some informations about getting wm7 for HTC HD2, but I found many results, some of them said that it will, some said not. So, do You know if there will be official update to WM7? If not - will be there any non-official ROMs? I've heard that someone already did it, but I don't know anything more about it.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proz00:
as far as i read there no wp7 for hd2 but its will ported in time by the community here
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hazard99:
take a look in the windows phone 7 development forum. Da_G and a few others are actively working ok windows phone 7 with a couple of leak builds.

The other build you saw was never confirmed by the community.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paten:
No official update to windows phone 7 is planned at this time.

Maybe. It really depends on how compelling the unique features are in wp7 as to whether anyone will feel compelled to work on porting it to the HD2.

Someone apparently faked a video at one time showing wp7 ported to an HD2. I think they used the remote desktop app to remote to a PC running some kind of wp7 emulator.

I don't have any links to any of this information. This is just stuff I read somewhere, at sometime but I would imagine you could find the sources if you did a search using the correct search criteria. You know, stuff like "WP7 HD2 faked" and stuff like that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golfreak12:
I 99% sure people will attempt to port window mobile 7 to the HD2.

How successful they'll be will be is uncertain.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brazniew:
That's a pity that HD2 won't get official update. I like this device, and I'm happy owner of it, but personally I think that WM is restriction for this mobile. Somewere it's ugly, and slows down terribly...

Just wanted to inform y'all that the Droid X multitouch keyboard is compatible with 2.1 G1 and MT3G phones

To install it you have to first remove the LatinIme.apk default keyboard that comes with the rom.

then push the file. I've already renamed it to LatinIme.apk for you

OR just copy and paste it in Root Explorer and give it the correct permissions

hope y'all enjoy!

DOWNLOAD LINK

EDIT:

some ppl have asked what works and what doesn't. As far as I know, I'm not aware of exactly how this operates on the droid X as far as multitouch, but yes multitouch does work in terms of what i expected. the keyboard will recognize another letter after one finger has just touched one. But the &amp thing on the keyboard, idk how to fix
[G1 Android Development] roccoadam32:
what folder do you paste it in root explorer
[G1 Android Development] sahid1haha:
/system/app/
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
OP, did u port this urself ?

Also U should post whts working/not working.

I also ported this, wondering if u got something working i didnt :(
[G1 Android Development] roccoadam32:
no luck pasted app got a soft reboot and i was unable to use it
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
There is no porting involved as stated in his post. He merely ripped it from a Droid X rom I'm guessing.

"Just wanted to inform y'all that the Droid X multitouch keyboard is compatible with 2.1 G1 and MT3G phones"
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Lol its not that simple. If u notice in the keyboard if u press ?123 it shows &amp instead of &. That shows he decompiled the app.

Refer to this thread where i "ported" it. Link

Basically to port this app u gotta remove the shared uid and resign it. But that screws up the & symbol, hence once u modify wht u gotta do is replace the res folder of the modified apk with that of the original apk, resign and install.
[G1 Android Development] phillyboi47:
I don't know much about developing guys honestly. I just downloaded the Droid X dump, did a little bit of reading and got this thing to work.

the sad part is lol, in spite of all that hard work i did(well hard for me at least), i just found out Droidlife posted a droid x keyboard as well :|....
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
If u guys dont want to read through that nexus thread, lets face its long, heres the last apk i did for 2.1 users.

Status:

Vibrate/Dictionary dont work

Sound works

Great keyboard :)
[G1 Android Development] quierotacobell:

[G1 Android Development] opasha:
just letting everyone know that this one is the best one. it works. i have alan's 508 version stable 2.1 rom with slide theme. i pushed this one through adb after renaming it LatinIME.apk. the dictionary works great anddddd VOICE also works! so yeah, use this one. it's solid.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Wait dictionary works ? users constantly said it doesnt.:confused:

How did u test it ?
[G1 Android Development] bigdbag:
Uhhh, I dunno how you got that to work. I just pushed it and voice as well as vibrate do not work. Voice merely loads, but actually doesn't function correctly. The dictionary does correctly auto-suggest words however.
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
lol yes it loads, but all you have to do is wait because it is not doing the animation so it looks like it is frozen. i was patient and tested saying "Hello how are you man" and it picked it up exactly word for word. I tested and know vibrate doesn't work but that was never an issue for me because I don't ever use vibrate (it can cause lag and slightly eats battery life).
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Voice should work with no problems. I have tried on several occasions, its quite accurate. Hmm auto-suggest does work, and wow it does pickup the words from the dictionary.

Cool so only thing not working is vibrate, ill look into it some more but they've done some wierd crap, they're using vibratepattern instead of vibrateduration :cool:
[G1 Android Development] Ziltoid:

[Legend General] prcach:
got this phone about a month now and its amazing...but there is one thing that i just keep bugging me....its like that i can see screens refresh rate! mostly noticeable on gray area of the pic/anything else, weather screen for example, where goes from lighter to darker scale. cant describe it preciselly, it hard to notice if u dont look carefully, its like that brightness is shaking, waving or whatever. i didnt notice it before(maybe i didnt pay atention) but since i did its just iritating....and im starting to worry seriously. help pls
[Legend General] Hammanu:
Im looking at mine and i gotta say i dont see the same. Is it possible you have auto brightness on? (settings, sound display, brightness) Under certain lighting conditions (fluorescent) ive noticed it rapidly change from one brightness level to another and back.
[Legend General] prcach:
nah, it has nothing to do with brightness settings...its just like refresh rate
[Android Apps and Games] qgarrigos:
I've been working in a soccer game for some time, still a lot of work to do but you can see an early preview here:

[YOUTUBE]NJNKeW0OJSk[/YOUTUBE]

I'm working now on how to control the game, you can see in it in the video. I think this is the most important part of the game.

Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] player911:
looks awesome.

I guess you could control the player with the trackball, screen upside/down, and tap the screen to shoot/pass.

Or use your onscreen D-pad and tap to shoot/pass.
[Android Apps and Games] shotormorgh:
awesome stuff dude.. I tried this one football game from the market and it was serious crap... this is the kind of football that would work great on touchscreens i think.

Anyway.. i got a few suggestions/ideas

I like the way you use the trackball for direction of shot and strength. I'm not sure how fast you'd be able to do this during a game with 11 players trying to get the ball from you.

Makes me wonder if it's not better to have a few buttons on the top right side of the screen for passing/shooting etc and the joystiq for aiming. Also solves a tackling or pushing off the ball dilemma you might face with the trackball.

Sprinting; tapping the joystiq side in the direction you want to have the player sprint.

Probably ridiculous but if you really want to incorporate the accelerometer you could zig zag for tricks or something.
[Android Apps and Games] Frans Parnel:
That is amazing! I love FIFA and this is perfect...cannot wait until it is finished. As is the controls look great.

Few ideas/suggestions

1. sorry shotormorgh, I don't mean to say your idea is bad...but personally i do not like it when games use the accelerometer. There are a few that make good use of it - but generally tilting the screen when you are trying to concentrate on it makes the gameplay harder. So i would say try to stay away from the accelerometer unless you would use it for camera angle - i.e. you can tilt your camera angle by tilting the screen a bit for better view - resulting in a more 3d look in which your sprites would just change depending on the view in use? (i've seen this in a racing game for the zune before and it was quite fantastic).

2. i really like the idea of "double" tapping your "d-pad" to cause the player to sprint. That is how most console games would do it anyways. And since you are using the d-pad to control the player it should be a pretty natural gesture.

3. I think that using the trackball for shooting control is alright - it is the only way i can think of controlling the accuracy of the shot without "dulling" down the game. The only other way would be to simply use the trackball as a button. When pushed it will simply shoot in the direction your player is pointing - resulting in loss of accuracy, but then you could use the trackball as a second d-pad for "trick" maneuvers and better defense?

4. If you stick with the shooting method you have now, which i would recommend, maybe you could make use of the search, home, back, menu buttons for defense and maneuvers?

5. You could also let your users choose the control options they want...for instance they can choose a beginner mode which will make the shot a simple shoot in the direction your character is pointing or choose advanced for the trackball aim and shoot?

Regardless, great work! The graphics look great and i cannot wait to play this game!
[Android Apps and Games] qgarrigos:
I was thinking some time about this. Using screen buttons to shoot/pass/etc needs multitouch screen to work, and not all devices support it. Anyway some people are telling me that many new devices come without trackball...

In my tests, the use of the trackball is pretty fast (and I'm not an skilled gamer).

The idea for the accelerometer look promising! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] qgarrigos:
I generally agree, accelerometer works nice with some games but I don't think it would have worked in this game as a main control, but as an optional control like shotormorgh says it would. I'll think in the camera angle thing you say.

At this moment I haven't planned the sprint but seems very natural to use it this way.

Yes, trackball is used mainly as a button. Optionaly using the directions of trackball you can choose the height of shoot and effect of the ball.

For now I don't plan using hardware buttons. In the first version of the game I will limit a lot the controling options, then we will add some options slowly, as people ask for it.

Yes, this morning I was thinking on a beginner/advanced mode.

Thanks for your input!

Try filtering only logs with the string "striker".

Thanks a lot! Having this info is quite useful!
[Android Apps and Games] SBS_:
There is no stacktrace in the logs as far as I can see, only an uncaught exception in the dalvikvm. Filtering for striker only gives me "striker create" and so forth.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paalkr:
I agree! Generally I don't fancy the Q&A sub forums. I think that a question should be posted in the same thread as the related subjects, or in a new thread in one of the sub forums that encompasses the subject.

If I have a question regarding a specific ROM, should i post it in Q&A or in the ROM thread?

If I have a question regarding, say a car holder, should the question go in the Q&A or the accessories sub forum?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lude219:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3PH:
I was having a look through just now and i figured out what this board is for but it may require it be renamed. The board seems to be filled with questions already asked atleast 10 times (if not 100) before. So we could rename this board the "I can't be bothered to google anything unless it's porn. Please, please hurt and embarrass me" board and then we would have a place for the senior members to vent their frustrations at the people that cause them.

The only rule would be the OP's have no right of reply unless they really can show respect, willingness and gratitude. In fact i think all new members should be locked into only being able to post to this new board and only allowed to make one new post a day. Every attempt to post after that would present them with a search box and the words "Use this Dumbass"

Hmm seems i got a little carried away there :D but TBH it's a nice idea considering it started out as a joke and i rambled on it a little bit.

What is the best antivirus/firewall that i could use on an iis 7 server?
[Networking] xaccers:
Paid:

Sophos if you want to spend the time configuring it.

Symantec

AVG's server flavour.

Free:

Clam (it's what I use)
[Networking] shawn10642:
hey thanks for helping, another thing

1) i setup windows ftp 7.5 to iis 7.0 and setup went flawless, ping and everything went good, but i cant access the ftp server via ftp:// bccan.dyndns.org why??
[Networking] xaccers:
If you're connecting from the outside of your network then you need to make sure of the following:

1. FTP is set up on your router to be forwarded to your IIS server

2. FTP site set to allow either all IP addresses to connect, or at least the external IP address you're coming in from (use www.whatsmyip.org to check your IP)

If you're connecting from within your network, you need to create a forward lookup zone in DNS for dyndns.org and add an A record of bccan with your server's internal IP address.
[Networking] watcher64:
Also just to add, I would not worry as much about a software firewall on your IIS server , you will cause more problems than you will fix, as stated above if you only open the ftp port on your router to the outside, then no other connections will be able to get in ... Hardware firewalls/routers are a much better choice ..

As far as antivirus goes, it depends on how much money you want to spend, for free I would go with the ClamAV recommendation it works very well in a server environment.

Symantec which is not free really works well too ...

EDIT:

IMHO I would not use the machine name as your external DNS name, if that is what you are doing. That way you can use the machine name when connecting locally on your network and the DNS name when external ... It has just been my experience that using the same name for both machine and external DNS can cause all kinds of problems for other services you may want to run on that machine in the future ..

Hi All!

Do we need a sub forum for Linux / Android development for the HT2 now? The old thread in the HD2 ROM development sub forum is starting to become very cluttered. The amount of topics discussed in that single thread could definitely benefit from being split in many separate threads. I guess the information will be easier to find and the amount of "stupid" questions reduced.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paalkr:
I understand the need for cleaning up some of the sub forums here on XDA (that is actually the reason for this post), but I don't think moving thread out of their context is a good idea. The question asked in my post relates heavily to the ongoing development for the HD2, and will not get the right attention in the Q&A sub forum. People interested in (or having an opinion about) splitting Linux and WinMo ROM development does not frequently browse the Q&A forum.

This post is not of that type where I'm interested in getting a single clear and cut answer. The reason for posting the question is to hear peoples opinion, and maybe getting a discussion going regarding the subject. If I'm not totally wrong, discussion is what the other sub forums are for, right? If we are not allowed to ask questions in other forums than the Q&A, how are we suppose to be able to discuss and debate then?

Could any MOD pleas consider moving the thread back to a forum where the question would have a fair chance of getting some qualified feedback?

I don't think they're far enough along to really need a whole subforum for it. Maybe once we get a halfway usable version of android in a couple months, but for now I think the one thread is enough. I mean, how many different threads could be made for it right now? All we have is a bootable android with no drivers so far, so there's not many different things or subjects that could be made into threads right now.
