Database Develop

A few things/questions/problems... :D

Hi there,
I just got my diamond yesterday and I am very happy with it but some things really annoy me:
- Why did HTC took the green flashing light out of this device? Every HTC Device I used before had it (Himalaya, Magician, Prophet, StrTrk, Hermes). I really loved it, same with the Bluetooth LED...
Now the question: Is it really gone or maybe near the light sensor and can be activated via software ?
- The sensitivity of the Touchscreen is not as good as it was on my hermes. Where can I set this ?
- Why are the symbols in the taskbar for battery, 3G, G, E etc. so ugly ? They looked much better in the QVGA Versions. Any way to change them?
- Why are the ringtones so low on volume in comparison to hermes ? I hardly recognize when it rings in my pocket and I am in my car. Any way to make it louder ?
- The Startmenu is WAY to big, is it possible to make it in the old QVGA style ? Same for the context-menus. I don't like such big "recently used program icons" in my startmenu :-/
In all other manners it is a top device, I love it! Even the small battery is no problem for me because my hermes did not last longer than a day either. That was because of 3G Direct Push.
Any suggestions to my questions ?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards from germany,
T.Sami

I can answer to this question. If you go to Settings, System and TouchFlo you can make it in the old style. I thinks the bigger one is much better because it allow you to use the menu with fingers.

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!

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

[ROM][22/07]- Wild Ginger – Gingerbread 2.3.4 AOSP – [DISCONTINUED]

This ROM is DISCONTINUED
I am sorry to say I don't find the time to further develop this ROM, if anyone wants to continue this ROM please do so. Just pm me and it's fine. Thanks for using this ROM and for your feedback. Maybe in the future I will begin a new ROM project. For now I am only developping a ROM Download Manager for the desktop, keep an eye on the portal .
Go check it out for screenshots and download :
http://h4oxer.wordpress.com/category/wild-ginger/

i`ll give a chance this evening ... looks nice

I have been using this ROM for the last hour or so. I did a backup, clean wipe and fresh flash. I have let the new ROM settle and have done a manual reeboot also.
I am a humble end-user and not a dev but thought that I would give a breakdown of some of my first impressions and observations.
I like the boot annimation alot, I also like the lock screen. Both look clean.
I like the orange font used in the status bar and the pull down menu although the "Wild Ginger" wording in the drop down menu is very blury and looks ugly.
The window transistions are smooth as you like but don't feel snappy quick.
I think the new honeycomb launcher is a nice touch but doesn't seem as intuative as the regular launchers such as ADW; maybe it's because I'm not used to honeycomb yet.
My main gripe about the Honeycomb launcher is that it force closes ALL the time. I have been trying to remove the Google search bar widget that is pre-loaded on screen after first boot and it is impossible (and the widgets aren't even locked to desktop). Also I can't ADD any additional widgets - you can select a widget to add but nothing happens!
From the main screen, waiting for the menu to appear takes about 5seconds which is an age. The "Personalise Honeycomb" menu doesn't fit the whole screen and you can see thick band of the desktop down the right of the screen which is ugly.Once in the preferences menu it isn't at all clear what you are meant to do... You can see the "Apply Settings" button but it took me tapping about the rest of the screen to finally make the actual preferance choices appear.
I have tested inbound and outbound calls and wifi both work as standard. The music player has nice interface, camera works and stock browser is fine. I don't like the dark blue highlight that appears when you press on an app icon it looks clumsy.
The numbers 1,2 and 3 are almost cut in half in the dialer and the green phone "call" icon doesn't seem to fit in it's area neatly.
I like H4oxer's work on this ROM and I hope it continues to get better but with these quite apparent bugs I will respectfully wait for an update before I continue to use this ROM.
Good Work tho!

so ...
good review above .... absolutelly uselless to say more ... 100% same opinions as you EDD ! keep going h4oxer !!!

Thanks guys I really appreciate your feedback ! Will work on it!

from his blog - "Used the froyo libcamera.so library to use the camera app, capturing video still gives force closes."
I guess not

No it doesn't work..still looking into that...has something to do with gpu that we don't have!

tried to flash but no luck stuck at splash screen,did wipe,factory reset,dalvik...how long was first boot for you guys?

You'll have to wait 5-10 minutes... leave it for 10 minutes on first boot..

why I cant see any progres in progres bar in recovery,says instaling update ...
(now no progres of writing files) and afther just 10-15 sec instal complete,is this normal? usualy can see progres and takes a bit longer

Yes it's normal, I didn't payed attention at the progressbar while writing the updater file , but it works don't worry. It installs fast because it had not much apps on board. Just the essential.

10min past stil on my splash screen.no boot animatio yet

Wierd. This ROM is working fine for me. Did you wipe /data and /cache?

yes did everything...dont know simple not booting,stucked on splash screen not even bootanimation

OK....first impressions are good. Startup in less than 4 minutes. Looking good. Everything is working out of the box, no force closing or similar problems. Nice themes, Market app is interesting
LCD density set to 115 and dialpad and everything else looks good
need to be done
- icons in status bar - phone signal at least
- trackpad wakeup
- sound on lock/unlock
- 6x5 icons is too much... 4x5 would be better in my opinion
- Home screen - same as above
- when LCD density changed no way to add widgets or apps to home screen
all in all very good rom, but need a little bit of fixing
cheeers

Totally agree with u.
I hope that in next version it will have trackpad & volumes wakeup to ... protect our Wildfires' poor Power Buttons

Nobody is interested in this rom?

Camera Easy [free]

Hi
this is my latest creation, an easy camera app,
in short words, you can change the resolution on the fly and all commands (like resolution zoom etc.) are on camera screen.
And More when you click the image just shot don't blocks visual so you can shoot more fast.
here's the link to market
windowsphone-com/en-US/apps/1aa27aa6-5991-4798-97e3-73df8446db76
and this is the "official" text:
Camera Easy is a “easy to use” and practical camera application.
No complicated settings,
no unnecessary menus and submenus,
all settings are fast, minimal, easy to understand, and mains of these are on camera display, to avoid unnecessary clicks.
One important feature is that once a photo is taken, camera will not display image just taken, but continue to display camera image stream, so is fast to take multiple photos.
these are the main features:
- Self-timer
- Resolution, flash, self-timer, are all on camera display
- Digital Zoom
- Local photo gallery, with multiple rename, delete… to
- Save to phone gallery button
- Sound on / sound off
- Help screen
- Metro UI
- Free
thanks for attention

Link is incorrect because there must be dot, no dash (windowsphone-com)
Correct is: windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/1aa27aa6-5991-4798-97e3-73df8446db76

Nice App.
Can you add date and time stamp just like WM 6.5?

Thanks for comment , can you explain me better please, you mean in the foto...?
thanks

nice app
that's work fine

Can you also modify or add a widescreen resolution in the settings?.. and then label it with "6MP (16:9)" or "4MP (16:9)"?
Photos looks better this way in my opinion.
Looking forward to it, thanks for a nice app. I'll recommend it to my friends.

Hi I've upload a video on youtube for better explain how camera easy works on wp7, just a video help, here the link:
youtu.be_BVk9XLsKvME
I can't write links so subst _ with /
thanks

ok here's link and video I've found the way to post a link
http://youtu.be/BVk9XLsKvME

nice app
Thanks

very promising indeed, but you could add:
*Tap screen to autofocus+shoot
*theme colored buttons
*option to aways start on "take photo" mode
*remake flash icon to a thunder-arrow-like (flash icon usually is one); the actual icon looks like bright settings, therefore isnt so intuitive
*drop "owner identity" permission
>rotate pic(s) before save to galery
>while viewing a photo on "photos", slide left/right to show previous/next taken photo
>change icons to ones more like default camera app
>zoom buttons feels more confortable on the right(?)
## "overtake" camera shutter button (like the lumos app does to turn on/off his led flashlight)
"*" means the fundamental things are missing, in my humble opinion
">" means secondary tweaks,
"##" means utopia: all previous tweaks were achieved, people now use camera easy as their default camera app, pinned to their start screen, so now the one step left is to completely overtake the camera button
but offcourse, this are only my opinion; you may use them or not
but if you do, i'll be more then happy to beta-test it!
cheers

Hi
__That's work fine...
_____Thanks for application...

thanks for post to trungnghia and Text1 thanks for use it .
special thanks to fredsky2 for your detailed description, great ideas
only thing that I'm in doubt is this:
> Tap screen to autofocus+shoot
bytheway others are really good improvements
really thanks again
p.s.
I'd like to leave my tweet addr. and site here but I dunno if I can

On my HTC HD7 i find the double flash does't always work

glad i could help =)
about the "> Tap screen to autofocus+shoot", you mean you r not sure if its usefull/fundamental or if its possible?
Either way, it feels fundamental for me because of how precise it is (on the native app at least, as the physical button pressing may shake your phone and ruin the photo).
About it impossibleness, i think i test other camera app with this function, im not sure. Maybe you could do your custom buttons as a "mask" on the default camera app? Well, i dont know if it even makes sense since im no developer myself =p
About the twitter, i think you do can add it on your profile or signature, but as im new here, i woudnt trust me =$
oh yes, another suggestion i just thought: multiple shots! =)
im rooting for updates
take care

I'm just wondering. Why is the owner identity necessary?

Hi thanks again for your feedback, about autofocus "> Tap screen to autofocus+shoot"
is possible, but I not see the needs, bytheway I've seen somethings like that some mouth ago, but I see something like hold = focus and once focus shot...
and multiple shot is on the way
to npoe: ??? what you mean?

In the marketplace there is a list of function that the app uses and listed are:
Camera
Owner Identity
Music and Video Library
Phone Identity
Data services
Basically I would like to know why owner identity and maybe phone identity are used or necessary.

ok this is what microsoft add reading xap, I dunno how avoid this, and set only what I really need... in this case:
Camera!
Music and Video Library is put because I've include some lib to manipulate image (this lib made by microsoft, contains other services), data service I think and Phone Identity is used by microsoft ads...
it's the same for Owner Identity,
just to be clear nobody look your name, tel. number, but maybe ads service can put just something like cookie... so no fear...
for other question I'm here

Thanks for the answer. I just gave it a try and the app is fast; I'll try to find something cool to take some photos and let you know my comments.

Question SetEdit value

Hello, I downloaded SetEdit on my phone today and I have questions about 2 values
- The first one is deviceLevelList, I know it enables blur effects but for some reason, setting "g:1" to 3 doesn't enable the blur effect and I find the gray background quite annoying
- The second one is a value I modified by accident, it's "misettings.support.repost", I don't know what it does so I set it back to 1 but if anyone knows what it does, I would love to know!
Thanks in advance
