Opera Mini 4 weird problem...

I've downloaded the browser via the website from within my Tilt and it downloads and launches fine... the program is great.
But when I close it, there's no indication of it anywhere in my phone. It's not in Programs, it's not even in 'Remove Programs.' I've browsed both the device and the Storage Card (where I had it installed) and it's nowhere to be found...
I've also went back to the website and attempted to reinstall it but the program recognizes the previous installation and then launches. But again, no luck with trying to run it later on.
I know a bunch of you have had luck, hoping someone has stumbled with this and found a fix.
Thanks!

Dude,
Opera Mini 4 is indeed a java application and you'll find it when you open up Midlet Manager (or whatever the java manager software is on the Tilt)in the Programs menu of your device. Start/Programs/Midlet Manager, then you should see the Opera Icon.
Hope This Helps

Thanks! After looking in Tools, I saw the eJava icon and sure enough, it's listed in there like you said once I ran it.
That's what I get for coming from a non-WM set of phones... lol.

Glad to help! Don't worry everyone here has been a WM virgin at some point. I have to say it's very hard to give up once you get used to how the software works and also when it doesn't!!
take it easy

request :) Toch Diamond as a pc gamecontroller

Hi all,
It would be nice to use the gsen of the diamond as a game controller for custom made games on the pc(like the wii).
Is this possible

interesting idea
but i don't think it ll be easy....

No I don't think it would be easy...
that's why I ask it the pro's!!!

nice idea. Bluetooth connection to the PC?
lol... just the idea of pairing a device on Bluetooth with Windows...

Can't imagine the phone side to be too hard - my first shot would probably be WLAN since that's the easiest way to get some connection working. Once you have that simply passing gsen / dpad / buttons (maybe even touchscreen input?) to the PC should be rather trivial.
The harder part is probably to write a gamepad driver for windows that interprets that input data and transforms it to DirectInput compliant information.
While I certainly know how to do the phone side - I am somewhat unsure about the PC side. The last time I did some driver coding is AGES away. I don't even know if opening a TCP/IP socket from inside a driver is possible/a good idea. Maybe one would need a daemon-like user space program to read the input from the network and feed it to the driver...

Would acualy ge a freaking awsome Ide toward an playstation 3.
And acualy a computer.

Geez I wish I had time to look into that - if their stuff was open source I am sure we could leverage about 90% of their XP driver implementation (which most likely they managed pretty well)...

do we need to remake drivers?
you can get Python (program used) for PocketPC, and it just bluetooth on to PC with NiiMe software....
testing now...

while they seem to use python on a S60 phone - this doesn't directly translate to doing the same thing on a WiMo diamond... The fact that they released their source under the GPL makes reusing their PC software a viable option though.
Speaking of GPL source - has anyone found their code available for download on their site?

Okay guys - you got me as far as installing a devel enviroment and writing a simple gsen SDK based test app now - if there's someone willing to spend some time on the PC DirectInput driver side I'm sure we can get somewhere with this...

This.Would.Be.Awesome. !!!!!!!

if this works, I gonna get a diamond other than orbit 2

nice, i didn't know that this exist. So asking here for the request whasn't as stupid as i tought!!!

+1 for up!

Hey
I'm currently working on a little client-server (TCP/IP) thingie to at least get GSensor data from the Diamond to the PC - once that is done there's still the very ugly part of writing a DirectInput driver that acts like a gamepad...
If anyone wants to take over the driver-writing part things would progress much more quickly I guess
Sadly I don't have too much spare time at the moment to spend on the matter though.
Cheers,
Alex

a gsensor keyboard emulator could control for example
FLUX the game. (3d tube flying), by senden keystrokes
to windows` keyboardhandler

whoever does figure this out will be the man. when it does happen i just hope it will do the job for the cdma version coming to telus on or around august 6th

I have a .NET client/server pair running in an WiMo6 emulator now sending what could actually be GSen data at a fairly decent rate. Not considering the GSensor it's pretty much phone independent.
And if anyone tells me how to get rid of the files VS2k5 places on my Diamond for debugging the application I'll try the same thing with a real GSensor I am just tired of hard-resetting my Diamond in order to clean up the mess done by the development environment...
Cheers,
Alex
Edit: Okay, I tested it on my diamond by simply copying over the two required files (no debugging possible though) and transferring GSen data either via ActiveSync (say Bluetooth) or WLAN works nicely. But I'm afraid it's necessary to keep the device awake to avoid lags (does the diamond reduce CPU speed on standby?).

Android on pc popup

Alright this app doesn't exist but I'm encouraging it to be supported and developed.
So today I was browsing on my new notebook and my phone went off, it was only a notification text message but I was feeling polite and so I got my phone and looked and saw what it was.
I've seen apps that can view the pc from the g1, but I want to view my g1 from my p.c. Not just a notification bar or some small poorly done UI. But a full on good looking desktop view of my g1 to where I can dismiss, reply, and explore my g1.
Way of doing this: USB, Wifi, Bluetooth etc.
Get it?
:]
Hope so.
So if this could be developed I'd appreciate it and I know a lot of other people would too.

Sorry this response isn't *particularly* helpful, but I will add that this is definitely possible on Windows mobile, albeit via a paid-for app. It definitely worked over USB and may have worked over wifi/bluetooth too, can't remember. However, even over bluetooth, the display updating was slightly laggy. Sorry but I can't remember the name of the WM app.
Best of luck.

I don't think that it would be so hard to develop such a program for pc because you can already pull up a screenshot using ddms.bat of your g1. We can also already control (limited... but capable) the g1 with adb. So if a user interface could be created to access your g1 live from your computer, I think that would be ideal. It would be sort of like using the emulator, but it would be your phone and in real time. Good idea indeed. Too bad that I don't know anything about programming.

Why No Decent WinXP/ Vista Themes?

Theme: To me, a theme just consists of button overlays to match the visual appearance of an OS environment.
Environment: To me, an environment consists of a working realtime customizable desktop, with custom scripts executed on button taps/ holds etc to simulate the useability of a OS environment.
EDIT: Sorry, so theme is the wrong word. I mean't environment in the subject title.
Well, I have searched the entire internet, but can't believe there is nothing that is worth using. Wisbar is lacking in vital functions needed to simulate a working Windows XP environment such as moveable windows which resize and minimize, draggable icons on the desktop, the list goes on. Projects are either no longer available, been suspended or even when they are available they are incompatible. I have tried various vista environments, and while they are somewhat visually similar to the real OS, they just aren't functional enough to use in everyday use. So, would anyone else agree that this is it as far as XP and vista environments go? If not, please reply and post some quality links to show what I haven't searched hard enough for and I'll kiss your boots .

dont you think that draggable resizable windows are a bit redundant on a windows mobile screen?
how many windows can you fit in such a small screen and actually work on them?
if you need that, i think that it is best that you look for a tablet with win7 in the near future

Because mobiles aren't desktops. You use alternative ways to navigate. You no longer focus on displaying as much info as possible, but instead focus on displaying it clearly and nicely.

well, I don't have a 24" screen on my phone, so what you are suggesting would be so tiny on your telephone it is rather impossible to work with neither will it be fingerfriendly for all day use. I already found the wisbar themes to tiny to use smoothly.
Of course a complete simulation will look nice, but for daily use it will be the most annoying thing to work with I guess.
Cheers,
Arnold

Hey thanks for replies. Yea, I guess you're right. It would be a pain to navigate etc. Suppose I'm a windows desktop fanatic who loves customisation too much . I don't know I just don't find windows mobile very customizable. I can't believe how hack-free the WM ROM is. I imagined being able to hack all the system files with resource hacker and change loads of things, but, none of that seems to work and the files are very well embedded into the system and are nothing but read-only.
What I'll try for now is playing around with Wisbar Advance and see if I can make it look similar to my winXP.
Cheers.

From my gatherings, you'll have to be either very lucky or you'll just have to wait until something useable is developed. I'm working on a skin, but it'll only be for the TG01 and I can't program so it won't be amazing. It'll just really be a visual representation of my windows desktop, but I'm not using WAD because as soon as you lauch a WM dedicated program, you leave the windows environment. The only way this will ever work I think is for people to sort of embed the programs within a windows xp window within WAD, but from I have seen, WAD is unable to do this.
By the way, don't you think it's funny how Microsoft have put the start menu at the top of the screen? Seems like it's a way to make it impossible to have a start menu at the bottom of the screen.
I'll use wisbar advance 2 and see what i can come up with and if it's any good, I'll post it up.
P.S. Every single vista theme I have downloaded has not been compaible for my TG01 .

i havent had any problems personally, and i havent heard of any serious problems.

you should try it and just keep a backup if you're afraid so you can revert to an official rom.
in my opinion, cooked roms are in their majority better than official ones

Flashing ROMs can be scary at first. Took 3 months to convince me.
Now I see I would have burnt my phone if it were not for custom ROMs.

Well, I was actually thinking of trying to flash a custom ROM, but then after reading this thread

I am totally put off. It only takes for the phone to hang as it's installing or something and that's it, there's no way of getting back onto the homescreen again. Have thought about it, not worth it to be honest, I'll wait for an official release (if ever ones becomes available). As it is, ROM Extractor has buggered up my device it seems . Was using it last night to extract some EXEs and this morning, the start button was totally inoperable. That's literally all I did . Haven't modified the original ROM files in any way; like anyone could anyway,. they're completely hack-proof.

Thanks very much for the link, but unfortunately, I created this thread after trying this out lol. No offense to the guy who created it, it looks nice visually and clearly resembles the windows 7 theme, but it just doesn't have any functionality. Once you load up a program, as always, you're out of the desktop environment and the taskbar at the top becomes visible again. I think, someone really needs to fix this issue and then the problem will be solved (well almost). As for moveable windows and such, I agree it would make navigation quite awkward on the small screen, I guess that's the beauty of windows mobile, but I just wish there was more software available like in the desktop versions.

Weird Windows XP minimizing programs problem

So my friend has this issue with his Eee 1005HA Netbook, and it's bothering him.
When he minimizes a program, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Powerpoint, and Word, the program "minimize animation" stutters and we could see the program "disappearing" from the top to bottom. Following that, the Desktop Icons appear to be permanently highlighted.
If anyone knows of a fix without having to reload the whole OS, we'd appreciate it.

http://goo.gl/8ywff
lol
Had this on my PC when I put XP on it, I'm sure there is a setting to turn of animations in control panel though

The weird thing is switching between windows and launching programs is smooth. It's just minimizing that has the stuttering, and it's weird that the Desktop icons are highlighted.
He's using Ubuntu atm, but he'd rather use XP.

Nope. Everything is smooth with the exception of the minimize animation, which causes the highlighting of the Desktop icons.
It's a small problem, but it does get irritating when he minimizes windows.
He now says the netbook has gotten really slow. He said the registry editor used to launch in seconds, but it now took 8 minutes to launch. A soft-reset didn't do much.

Hm.. Not what I had then.. If it's slow maybe he has caught some sort of Virus , I recomend reinstalling the OS, although I know he doesnt want to

...
no its slow because the hard drive is probably full..
causing it to lag out..
the icon problem is:
right click the desktop/properties/appearance/advanced
or i suppose if you change the theme that should bring it back to normal..

Hard drive, when I personally checked it was about two-thirds filled -- that's more available space than on my Toshiba laptop, and my laptop's still normal.
We'll see about the icon problem. Like I said, the icons only become permanently highlighted once he minimizes a program; they're normal after a boot.

...
i suggest not to put anything on your hard drive..
there is only a small hard drive in a netbook..
i also suggest you invest into an external hard drive and install everything to it.. eg.. external hd/programs folder/all programs here..
try and keep your C: drive as clean as possable..
just thinking but it might be worth tweaking the page pool of windows on your netbook.. it might make your netbook a lot faster than what it is...
***right click my computer/properties/advanced/performance/advanced/virtual memory/change***
Rn

maybe try reinstalling the display drivers. or he has too many programs running and not enough memory.
i don't know why he is still using xp. ive been using 7 since jan 2009.
every xp pc i use i get depressed. even though xp is reliable its 9 years old!!!

...
im still using windows xp..
when i get depressed with it i just re-install it and start again..
im gona hate the day i have to install windows 7, and that will be the day that they stop making games for xp (which will probably be coming sooner than we think)
anyway, thats why i use it, its the most reliable..
and it dont rape my ram like what vista and 7 will do
