Awesome thanks!

What's sad, is when I was young, I used to be able to code in C. Made my first video game when I was 6 on a Commodore 64 (ok i dated myself here) Now, can't remember very much :confused:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] petititi:
C++ ? It's just like riding a bike!

I'm sure you can!

Sounds (and looks) great, although there are still to many glitches (like not working in landscape etc.) which are preventing me from using this package.

But I have one question, why aren't you (all) including some TripleState Checkboxes and OnOffItems ?

I need them often but you cant find such controls online - not to speak of sense.

;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] petititi:
TripleState Checkboxes ?

Hello,

the TripleState Checkboxes is a simple feature I can add. To be sure, TripleState Checkboxes will looks like:

And tripleState On/Off:

I will include them in the next release... Be patient, the next release is coming soon and adds support for portrait and fixes a few bugs...
[Touch Diamond CDMA] AaronJ:
hey I've been looking around for the answer with no luck can anyone help.. which rom is currently easiest on the battery as in consumes the least amount of energy/resources.

thanks
[Touch Diamond CDMA] mike_art03a:
Aaron,

For the most part, a lot of these roms are based off of the base version and then tweaked for optimal performance. While there are some that are feature laden (ie. loaded to the kills with tweaks and background processes) and some that are fairly basic (a few features, stripped down ROMs), battery usage all depends on how you setup your phone.

I've got the Pegasus series ROM on my touch diamond and it works fine (battery life still to be tested) and I haven't noticed a serious detriment to my battery life yet as there are tweaks in place to maximize power savings.

Even with the stock ROM (Bell in my case) battery life maximization has always been an issue.

Here are a few tips to maximize battery life (applies to pretty any rom, stock or not):

1. If you don't need that fancy 3D interface, kill it and go with the basic home screen.

2. Make sure to turn off your data connection when not in use (will go into an on-demand mode if you have anything that runs in the background to get updates once in a while). Make sure WiFi is shut off as well (serious battery drain) and the same goes for bluetooth when not in use.

3. Dim your screen to the point so that's still usable (brighter screen = more power usage).

4. Put your phone to sleep when it's in your pocket instead of waiting for the default time out (press and release the power button to sleep it, do the same to wake). It might only be a 30 second difference, but it adds up a bit.

5. Reduce the number of background running applications to essential ones (ie. e-mail is essential, MSN not so much). Kill any widgets that don't really need to be active (twitter and facebook ones are notorious for sucking up battery life).

That's all I can really offer for now, the more seasoned members can help you out on what ROM is more battery friendly. I've been lurking for a bit, it's time that I start contributing.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] AaronJ:
thanks alot for your advice, but perhaps offering further explanation may help and others who may consider providing a response..

I am running a Culkins rom and dual booting an Android rom. What I am looking for is a rom I could run on my phone that would not consume much resources or battery life in addition to the resource intensive Android rom.

Thanks again..
[Touch Diamond CDMA] mike_art03a:
Okay, that helps a bit. The culkins rom isn't so bad when it comes to power management. Check out the diamontweaks app to help configure some options. He doesn't have a lot of running processes in the background (a few too many apps than anything else if you ask me).
[Touch Diamond CDMA] MrObvious:
My ROM (on PPCG) isn't bad at all. Lemme release an update soon.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] AaronJ:
thanks for the help both of you.. with respect to your post MrObvious I look forward to using your rom when its released do you know of any "skeleton" type roms where its just the bare minimum required to run that rom?
[Droid Eris General] ihtfp69:
Would someone mind pointing me to the line of code that mounts the sd card during the boot process? Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA General] FortuneFaded57:
So I was flashing a new ROM to my wifes phone, it gave me the whole Operation Aborted deal, so I went in to nandroid recovery and tried recovering the previous ROM. It said the recovery was sucessful, so I reboot the phone and its just stuck on the HTC boot screen and has been for an hour. I've tried numerous times, pulling the battery, ect. Hit the home, back, and power button to recover, but it does the same thing... So my question, am I SOL? Or is there a way to fix this? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] vidsid:
I'd try restoring the nandroid again.
[Hero CDMA General] damiandarkwater:
I'd charge the battery completly then try the nandroid restore again.
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
or charge and try flashing a new rom again.
[Droid Eris General] dragon1018:
On friday my eris got ran over by a car. Although the screen is all cracked up the phone works perfectly. All aspects of the screen works. I am shocked that the phone worked. Thank goodness for insurance. My replacement will be here tomorrow. Just praying that it will not come with the 1.49 boot so I can root. If all else fails then I will switch phones with my wife.
[Droid Eris General] farmdoc:
Best phone for the money!
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
lol! That's crazy >.<
[Droid Eris General] Duffman3005:
Hell I had to drop my leaked eris about 50+times before the trackball even began sticking to the left. Even then it was still running fine, well until it wouldn't recognize a charger, then I got it replaced for a new phone that I rooted right away lol.
[Droid Eris General] DaObserva:
im rather clumsy and i use my phone ALL the time. the thing hasnt had a problem not even a tiny scratch on the screen. the thing is like hurcules or like a god. there is a reason they named it after the god of jealusy :D
[Droid Eris General] Lemcott:
i drop it all the time, no harm done save for a few scratches and dents...

a couple nights ago i actually dropped it from pretty high up into some... alcoholic beverage that was spilled on the floor. totally shattered... battery went one way, cover the other. the volume buttons actually came OFF the battery cover.

i picked all the parts right then and set them on a table. the next morning? put it together, works good as new!
[Droid Eris General] dragon1018:
Got the replacement today but my dumb luck got hboot 1.49 hboot on so hard for me to get root
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Landmine:
Can someone post what they think is the best keyboard? And post a screenshot of it? I need to do something about the stock one.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] clocker6633:
My favorite so far is the Droid X multitouch keyboard
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Landmine:
Oh, that is pretty.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
That's tiiite dude. I'm likin' that.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] M@XLOL:
Swype is the best keyboard in my opinion. There is ahuge thread at the top of the page with pictures
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
+1 I love swype~!

I do have an issue with it tho, it won't save any new words to my dictionary...I press space and even hit the swype key like it said but still no dice.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] M@XLOL:
If you type/swype a word that isn't in the dictionary you need to delete the word it suggests and then type out the word you want and press space. I've added a few curse word lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] krizno:
Swype baby!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] -shift-:
swype.. i don't even think i need to put up a pic for it lol. i can't go back to a regular keyboard now.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] debianist:
Love swype. Does anyone know how to add language pack or dictionary on swype?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
I do, I even manually type it in and it still won't save.

I had to go to the dictionary and add some words manually.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] krizno:
Glad its beta hopefully the full version will auto add words even if you gotta type them out every once in a while it is still way faster

And more fun
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
Oh I agree, the keyboard is awesome...Don't think I could ever go back to a regular one now~!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
Finally tried out Swype, and yeah it's fun. I was loving the Droid X keyboard but not sure I'll ever stop using Swype..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] king98027:
Yes, I was wondering about this as well. I know that some keyboards have the option to export/import saved words. I like to use Swype, however, I find myself in situations where I wipe my phone a lot in order to try new Roms.

Is there a way to export/import or perhaps add a dictionary file?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] newone757:
i dont see how yall use swype. its too much work. swyping all over the keyboard for simple words, and requires too much attention for long words. i can type on a regular keyboard without looking at it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] krizno:
And if you really don't like any keyboard for the phone you can always get a bluetooth one for the phone instead
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrpuffin:
i feel the same way about regular keyboards and i can type without looking on swype

it's all personal preference though
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
I agree, it's a learning curve to using swype but once you got it...it's awesome~!

Play with the speed/typo setting a little to get it where you like it and I rarely have to look at the keyboard too hard to get it going.

If I could figure out why my words won't save to the dictionary I would be happy!

Great Great keyboard
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] petrochemicals:
I am liking Swiftkey. Fast and predicts your next words. Pretty cool.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] batdrac21:
u needa double tap space it saves then
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Nrre:
i used swype for a while, but i noticed a few problems with it...

occasionally i'd have trouble swyping, say i picked up some water on my hand from grabbing a cup with condensation, or i go from the A/C in my apartment to 95 degree humid heat...etc etc, swiping my finger across the screen becomes a burden than.

I am currently using the stock keyboard. I find I can type ridiculously fast with it and it knows what I meant to type 99 times out of 100.

Might give this multi-touch keyboard a try...not sure what will make it better than the stock one though, guess I'll have to see.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tmotech88:
I like my keyboard I integrated swype and the stock HTC keyboard and added some funk to it works very well for me. I'm at 41wpm

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Nrre:
wondering what app you used to test your wpm.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] go4the1:
myTextSpeed, available free in the market.

For speed (like the pic above), the HTC_IME mod in landscape. For convenience and normal use (like texting), Swype in portrait since it's one-handed.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tmotech88:
+1 thanks took the words right from me:D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ricoo25:
It's all about swype!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Gazelli:
Just tap type for those words. Swype gives the best of both worlds.

I seen this rom on android central some guy and didnt notice it was in the DINC. forum. So i took a look at it just wondering if it was possible to port this over to the Droid Inc.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captchunk:
Just be careful if you decide to port it yourself, Blackdroid is known for distributing warez in his roms, which is why he has been banned from at least one forum I can think of.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNS201:
LOL warez like what? I wonder how many of those forum mods/admins are running pirated windows and download software and music and movies.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invisiblek:
regardless if they are, they are not distributing it to the public
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNS201:
What kind of warez was he distributing with his ROMs
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captchunk:
I understand what you are saying, many people run illegal software or pirate media files, however (and I will not argue the ethics of these actions, as they are a matter of personal choice and carry with them potential legal consequences that must be accepted) choosing to put yourself at risk is entirely different than imposing that choice on a forum. By posting material that includes warez, you force the hands of the moderators because if they fail to take action the forum could be liable as well.

Anyway, he had a few roms that included paid apps that he used without permission. I don't know if that is still the case, because I do not use his roms.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daftlush:
i think it was over swype or setcpu. stupid ****.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dB Zac:
Please dont take this as me defending the guy but isn't the real reason everyone is over this guy because he was relabeling Petes roms as his own? I mean come on, I have been loading roms from this forum for years and there has been plenty of distributed wares over the years with no backlash like this. That being said, ripping Pete off and being a SOB is reason enough so lets just call it what it is.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namolas:
Yes. Booted from Alldroid for re-branding Petes ROMS as his own and from droidforums for re-branding CyanogenMod as his own. Not sure who he is kanging these days but I won't touch his ROMS.

I usually dont like to ask for help, but I have exhausted my resources searching and trying things. I am trying to watch hulu.com videos on my windows mobile device. Things I have tried and failed are listed below. Any suggestions, fixes, or workarounds are greatly appreciated and will benefit the entire community not just me.

1: Using Skyfire hulu.com attempts to start the video and then comes up on the screen that hulu doesnt support anonymous proxy configurations and that you must be in the US to view etc.. I am in the US and have even tried using my PC's internet connection for the internet on my Mobile Device and it says the same thing.

2: Using Skyfire fancast.com tries to start the video but just says loading and never actually starts the video.

3: Changing the UA string to various other things.

4: Using Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, and Pocket IE. All of which do not get as far as Skyfire.

Ok, so I had to reset my home network for an unrelated reason. I had to erase and re-enter the new network info (which is the same as it was) on my laptop. I tried to connect with my HD2, and noticed that it wouldnt connect with the old info (again, its the same as the new), but I cant figure out how to erase the old network info and re-enter the new. Aside from a hard reset, that is. Id rather not do that. Any tips for a rookie? Thanks.

anyone tried using umts only and see if it saves battery?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jabbafat23:
GSM is the network version we had before 3G/UMTS. 3G is not as widespread as most GSM networks and uses more power as well. I think you will use more power keeping it on 3G/UMTS than on GSM/GPRS.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi46:
i meant umts vs umts/gsm since im almost certain places i frequent have 3g... i did a test for awhile and it didnt seem to have any affect... probably because it was on umts anyways.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jabbafat23:
Well yea, why not hey, especially since you're with Telstra you get the choice of Next-G and 3G.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3anut:
If you're with Telstra, leave in on UMTS only. Next-g is pretty much 3.5g and has more coverage than their GSM network. In theory :P

yeh have it on umts only but i see no noticeable change in battery usage probably because i nv went to gsm in the first place

My friend tried calling twice while I was using 3G Data, he said he could hear the busy tone. Is there a way I can make calls intercept data with 100% success.
[EVO 4G General] mcjx:
It's something having to do with the way CDMA networks handle data transfer.

You can accept calls and use 4G at the same time, but I'm afraid not with 3G/EVDO.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
I think he ment that when he was using data calls wouldn't come to his phone.
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
Calls should automatically interrupt data, i've been booted off the internet, and out of multiplayer games due to incoming calls so you might want to call Sprint perhaps something is awry in your settings.
[EVO 4G General] AssassinsLament:
Settings -> Call -> DDTM Mode
[EVO 4G General] ShadowDrake:
Just to clarify this, you want to make sure DDTM mode is turned OFF, otherwise you will not get calls while you have an active data connection.

If you can't get a call while starting a data connection, this is unfortunately "normal." In CDMA, the phone has to dial to initiate data... while it's doing this you might miss a call. Always-on data should prevent it from really happening to you, but if you're in a poor service area it may have to keep re-dialing to keep a connection alive.

CDMA just doesn't allow simultaneous voice and data right now.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Now I can't get calls, it gives a busy tone for all calls even with data off. I don't know what is going on. :( good thing my replacement phone is coming in Tomorrow July 6th. :)
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
I've been on Sprint for over 10 years. Using data has never made people hear a busy signal. What should happen is that they just keep ringing till they go to voicemail call Sprint something is wrong.

i believe there are too many differences between the two devices hardware-wise for the ROM to be ported easily. although I am not really sure about this, i think it would take a lot of effort for the Galaxy S ROM to be brought to HTC Magic.

Might as well save for the actual thing then. (:
