Hi,
Firstly, I'm new to this forum - and the whole site! It's been a great help to me already so... Thanks, everyone!
I run TomTom Navigator 6.030 (8320) with Uk and WE maps v6.75.1409.
I run this on my HTC TyTn II and everything is fine.*
However, I like to run it in 'map display off' mode because I find the full maps distracting. I like my HTC black and moody look and wondered if anyone knows how to get something similar on TT? Is there a way to skin it or change the blue colour to black or dark grey?
Thanks for any help you can give me!!

*I also have the problem of the first part of the audio 'dropping out' when I connect to a Y splitter - V Annoying!
The only way I've noticed to change the vibrancy of the colors is to run it in night mode (which I do most of the time as I find it more appealing)

Thanks
Thanks for the V quick replies...
looking into them now.
The Night colours only work if you use the MAPS view, I want to run TT with the maps off (using just the white arrows on - the standard - blue, except I want to turn the blue black!)
Thanks anyway
Go into the safety options!!!!
Just set your speed really low (10 - 15 mph) & it will go to the arrow (Safety) screen any time you go above that. It says turn off screen above xxx kph or mph, but what it really does is give you the safety screen with only the arrow & pertinent details.
Thank you GSLEON3, but that's not what I mean...
I can get the white arrow etc no problem, it's the blue background that I want to change to black / dark grey to fit in with the htc theme. Maybe it just can't be done! I know it can't from within TT but I was hopeful that some sort of skin or program hack might be available for this??
Any ideas?
Do a google search or wait till Monday. Look for TomTom map schemes or colors. TomTom has a guide to making color schemes & also some downloadable color schemes on their website. I'm on the road so I don't have the links with me. I have a black & gray one I use though.
Thanks!!!!
I just flashed my T-Mobile MDA Compact IV with the original Dutch HTC ROM. Everything is working perfectly except for one thing: I no longer have horizontal scrolling in TouchFlo. I mean, if I want to go from the clock to contacts, and I swipe my finger horizontally, it moves to contacts instantly instead of scrolling.
I already tried to disable/enable scrolling using Advanced Config, but that didn't help. Am I missing a settings somewhere?
This feature was removed with the change to 1.93.x.x Roms to speed things up in the interface. Trading off Eye Candy vs Speed. You cannot get it back short of switching to and older Rom like 1.37.x.x which was the vintage my unit shipped with.
(First of all, thank you for your answer.)
Too bad. Where can I find what the differences are between 1.93.x.x and 1.37.x.x?
if you cant live without those animations i suggest Swtos new 0.98 ROM with Touch FLO 3D 1.0. its fast as hell too!

It's not that I can't live without it, it's just that I really liked it... Weird though that they didn't make switching it back on an option.
Look into this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421434
You can install tlr-manila.cab to enable it.
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, I had tried that already but not only will that give me back the scrolling effects, but the slowness as well.
I have horizontal scrolling with SwiftBL v6 1.93 ROM.
EDIT: Oh, you mean the animated horizontal scrolling, yeh thats gone but it feels faster without it.
this is really funny...
i've upgraded to rom ver 1.93 since day one of launch and still have the horizontal scrolling between tabs in manila....
been reading so many threads about the disabled scrolling, really wonder why...
even my wife's TD retained the scrolling effect after upgrade
and i've not tweaked both TDs after the rom upgrading
I hope HTC'll make an option available to enable/disable graphic effects in a next room (it'd be the same thing Sony Ericsson did with P900 to speed up the symbian OS).
Yes, It' true, now it's much faster, but I loved those stupid effects ...
---
Wait. I still can move through the screens sliding the tab with my thumb, but I neither have sliding effect nor fade effect for blocks background. This is what I call "graphic effects".
Zippy1970, your problem is you can't move through the screens sliding the tab with your thumb, isn't it?
well
Since i have my Diamond i Flashed Swift's 6.0 ROM and the TouchFLO Side scrolling is still there and the ROM is FAAAST
Hey,
Has anyone noticed that the wallpaper on the Home screen
is a little too stretched?
It's like it's zoomed-in, and it shows only about 80%
of the full picture.
Is there anyway this can be fixed?
Thanks.
I think you need to get out more my friend if this is the kind of thing you notice about your device!
Yeah, I've also noticed this and I think it's a bit annoying. It would be great if anyone have a fix for this!
MY GOD! you're right!
Thank you! you helped me so much!
what have I been doing all these years?!?
Actually, I made a mistake, it's not zoomed-in,
it just has a much lower quality, maybe HTC wanted to boost the tf3d performance.
Anybody else noticed it?
Well , I have the same thing. I have a picture which is quite large (but also decreasing the size didn't work) where only the top of the picture is shown and the picture is zoomed in. The bottom of it is falling of the screen. Maybe there are specific requirements for the wallpapers (size) someone knows of?
Thanks in advance,
Olaf
it's not because the image is shrinked.
the screen resolution is 480x640 so the wallpapers are
the tf3d screen is smaler, due to the bottom and top bar.
in wm6.5 you niticed that the wallpaper fits the hole screen, because the bars are transparent. i also asked the cookers, if it's possible to rewrite it to use it also on wm6.1 but the answer was: no it's not possible, because the homescreen/with menue are different.
your wallpaper must be smaler than 480x640, i don't know the exact resolution, but then it schould be look nice
Wel I have resized it to 338x639, but it still zooms in and so the whole picture is still not displayed. Fortunately, it's a painting of Maria Magdalena by Pietro Perugio, the face is displayed fine. But I would like to see the whole picture. If you have a Diamond HTC, I can upload the attachement so you can try?
i think you only have to adjust the height, not the width, it scales it i assume.. havent tried it though (never noticed it because i use the standard screen )
Wel both horizontal and vertical is smaller now than the 480x640, so that shouldn't be the problem.

that means we have to test it (is it X1 hardreset or SD flashing compatable )and then dump it
dose it have a radio ?
applications ?

what it could be, can you send me a pm with details ?
downloading it... would like to see the surprise!
for the guys who flashed it, please give me a short pm with details, so i would flash it too !
Screen seems off....
But very very very nice concept, when will you be releasing kitchen/ROM?
The resolution choice works on the ui. But struggles with some of the installed apps.
Forgive me if i'm wrong but the top power button no longer turns the phone off?
Nice! A lot of space on the screen. A very nice concept release, real snappy!

it is not an bug is an concept rom
the rom
tested
Windows mobile 6.5 professional
CE OS 5.2.21234 (Build 21234.5.0.1)
NO soft reset or power on and off I has to reset by styles to see booting and power hunger
FONT is too small, I have to use Pocket controller - pro
The ROM is green and naked (no applications)
fast booting
It is the latest ROM
phone ,wifi ,bluetooth working
AND. FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSTT
since it is locked and protected
Please please start build it up clean with better applications
WOW!!!!....i like to feedback....dam i have office for next 6hr only to go home at 1am and then bed......but maybe ill still flash it at 1am..
there will be no other rom
i have asked about the concept
i dont care about power button or the lack of your favorite apps
i don't release custom roms
i don't release roms because i dont have time to read all rom complains
i release kitchens
i update kitchens
YOU BUILD ROMS
so is realy that hard to replay and say if you like the concept ?
thanks
not having an x1, have you gone real-vga?
1\it's cool, finally for someone manage to control windows' layout
2\it will be good to make fonts in title bar, bottom bar 130% larger, and 150% lager in system. it will also be good to make layout 120% larger both in title and bottom bars. and icons in start menu seems to be quite big, is it has something to do with the contrast to the surroundings? some sort of layouts seems to be forced controlled its resolution, and it became quite smaller than usual, eg: welcome settings.
3\rom is really fast, and quite amazing smooth in both today and start menu scrolling.
4\making phone call is available, but i think this rom is just a demostration of the new layout. it should be tweaked in further developing since it's too small for x1's small screen. any way, it's cool.

bet ur missing ur x1 now!!!!
sorry for spaming but i couldn help it
it is nice, if this stuff goes into a kitchen i think some very nice roms would come from it. this is what i see:
wm6.5 (only, no SE or other companies stuff)
hi res (looks nice but makes text too small)
very fast (but this may be because there is no other stuff added)
some bugs (bits missing, link turning the phone off, link to hardware keys etc)
but overall a nice concept and i think u should but a kitchen up with the bones of this concept and the the chefs do what they do best, cook something special up
in all honesty if it is realvga it could be done quickly and easily with a cab..
96 or 128 jerpelea?
spot the athena owner
I did try it when I got my x1 (as have a couple of others if I remember well), 96 was too small for me. 128 was workable but not all the resources were there.. I'm guessing that they are all there in the new SDK. After all that's where the original idea came from many many moons ago... lol
Hello friends.
I am looking for an application for measuring car x and y tilt for offroad uses with 4x4 vehicle. Only one suitable app I found is the Kai's water level with its gyrometer feature,but this is very small and in my case I don't need bubbles,so I want to get a software to do my job,but with much larger indicator,angles and warnings as this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QegwIr4dle8
Is there anybody here,who can mix both functionalities of these softwares for me(cause I am not skilled with C)to one application? Super graphic effects aren't necessary.
Thanks in advance.
Very cool idea. I found this http://sites.google.com/site/srlappsproject/home/on-the-level-app its for android but looks cool.
This is very ideal,but for iPhone

In truth that's not a difficult app to write, however, I think you'll have issues if you are planning on using it on the move, as the sensor only measures the gravity that it perceives, so if you move the phone around, it gets terribly confused as to where "down" is.
I'm guessing you want to know that an incline of over x degrees is likely to cause the vehicle to tip, etc, but if you are bumping over rough ground, then you'll never get an accurate reading anyway IMHO.
Cheers,
Steve.
Well,I know,that the sensor reacts also for acceleration,because normally it measures inertial forces and the result is not depended only on the gravity. Anyway,it should be okay,because I need it for very slow motion of the car in difficult terrain and I want to see,if my tilt angle(especially to side) is in tolerance,because I don't want to flip the car on the roof. Are you skilled with this "easy" programming?
I would be happy to do the graphics for it just tell me what you need.

I wouldn't necessarily say "skilled", but I wrote the Touch Incall Screen Tweak which turns on/off the screen during a call based on the orientation of the phone, so I'm familiar with working with the accelerometer.
Cheers,
Steve.
Okay,I will prepare demo application tomorrow for PC. I want to have the functionality of the software in video,but with comparable graphics as Kai's bubble level gyrometer(visible horizont). It will be lonely one application of its type on the world,so you can be rich.
Maybe a little something like this. The buttons at the bottom would change color depending on the alarm setting for each angle. You could change that setting by pressing the corresponding button. The numbers in the buttons would give you the actual ° reading.
Just a thought.
Ok, I pulled a stupid moment, there would only be 2 axis, Yaw and Tilt. I was thinking 3D
Also the Waterlevel app found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411550 has the open source files posted with it, may save some time.
For me is enough to have just 2 axis. The front-end angle and side angle. The image posted before is quiet perfect,but we should have 4 buttons for X-warning,X-max,Y-warning-Y-max,when I hit one of them,I will be able to adjust it. Of course some notifications for these warnings are welcomed as well as angle value visible on the screen all the time.
Next thing what is also welcomed is the power-on ability to prevent auto-dim/off the display. All the things should be visible from the driver's place,when the phone is fixed on the dashboard,so the fonts should be big enough and of course the calibration function to be present.
With this picture you have saved me lot of time spended with programming the PC demo-now isn't needed,because all features are explained.
Anyway,thank you for your help and willingness.
Something more like this? Then pressing the X or Y button would take you to a setup page that you could set warning sounds for yellow or red and you could also set degrees for the setpoints of yellow warning and red warning for each axis.
Quiet perfect!
Can you enlarge the degree fonts and locate them to the bottom corners nearby the circle? Also the labels "Actual" are not necessary. Into the top corners maybe you can locate Calibration button and options/exit(if it will be fullscreened). The warning sounds is also not bad idea...
Like this?
Absolutely perfect!!!
Well done mate.
Now just make it working and it will be super. Are you able to make it alive?
Sorry I do not have that talent, wish I did.
Oh,what a shame. I'll try to take some developers here...
I think this needs moved to the developers thread.
Please, make this dream come true! I'm looking for this kind of software too!
