Toshiba Dialer with Video Call - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Does anyone know if it is somehow possible to look into porting the Toshiba G900 t Hermes??
The reason i am asking is because most of the 3G dialers (with Video Call) also use the useless HTC smart dialer on the below screenshot it seems that Toshiba was able to make a dialer which use the Microsoft Smart Dialer v2 (the one which is included in WM6 and the one which is oh so great) and the vide call button is also present...
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Toshiba-Portege-G900-Review-review-image-r_1787-p_4-i_18263.html

Remember, they have an 800x480 screen, or double 400x240. They have 80 more vertical pixels to play around with.

I realise that, but maybe it is still somehow possible?
I mean they are using the built in smartdialer, can we somehow use our own dialers but keep the built in smartdialer?

True, it is quite tempting. But it would look a little scrunched, would it not?

I do not think so... If I look at the tytn dialer it take the same amount of space like the buitin dialer except for one button...
It should'n't loo that bad...

Hermes Big Button Dailer

Hello I just got a new 8525 and installed the LVSW_RUU_Hermes_WWE_3.30.0.9 ROM I used to have WIzard with the WM6 and the [BETA] WM6 Dailer Skin - Big Buttons & Smartdail http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297530
I looked around but couldnt find anything like that for the Hermes, My fingers are too big for the regular dialer. Thanks in advance.
I know there's a few threads around with some bigger than usual dialr skins. I see what I uncover for.

Wow thank you so much I was looking coulndt come up wit anything. THe one from wizard wouldnt work would it ?
If it was made for the Wizard, I'd air on the side of caution and say no. Have ya tried searching "WM6 Dialer Skins"?

Yes tried see the skins but I dont see the big buttons like the wizard
How about the iPhone themed dialer pad? Thats pretty big.
The skin in that link looks a lot like the ETen Dialer. You can use the ETen Dialer on the Hermes, in fact, it's what I use because of my "fat" fingers.
The downside is that the default ETen Dialer disables the smart-dial feature - this doesn't affect me because I don't use it. There is a thread around here somewhere on getting smart-dial to work with ETen.

Hmm I was trying to search for ETEN in hermes forum and nothing on the skin can I just try that skin from wizard ?
I coudn't tell you if you could use the one for the Wizard - I'm still learning tricks on my Hermes as well (I just got mine back in February).
There is a website (http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.html) that has some of the ETen dialer skins. I use Classic by JPL, in light blue, since it (sort of) matches the old Windows Mobile 5 theme, which I prefer over the black theme in the Black ROM.
Some of the ETen skins will cover up the "last caller" information in portrait mode, so try the different skins and see what you like.

Tried the skin from the wizard and it doesnt work I like the smartdial and like/need the big buttons damit I`m stuck.....
I also would love a bigger dialer skin.......the vista skin I had for my wizard was great! It was the one that had the gel buttons.....man I sure do miss it. I guess this is probably the thing I miss the most.
Well I pretty much found what I was looking for, it doesnt use WM6 style buttons or smartdial but its big buttons with smartdial, the color kinda sucks for me, but its better then nothing take a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297797 POST #10

How to Show off the HD

Can anyone reccommend any apps which dont necessarily serve a purpose but are just cool to have on the Touch HD? Things like the diamond hologram and the lightsaber? Thanks.
btw, im sure this has been posted many times before but in this thread we're looking for cool gadget-type apps as opposed to games or tools which are useful.:
Look for the hologram software prepared for the Diamond. It works on the HD but you cannot zoom in/out because of the lack of hardware keys.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450571
Thanks, but I kinda already mentioned the Hologram...
Sorry kinda skimmed through your post.
What about I Am Rich? Cloned from the famous iPhone app?
Also transfer some really high definition shots which are particularly in focus and sharp (|theres a difference|) and show em to people. Make sure they're bright too. The little HD screen is reall HD (high definition) in contrast to whats out there right now. Sure the Experia has the same screen resolution (480x800) but the screen is too small to actually allow one to enjoy the high resolution.
i always liked the guitar and piano tuning programe its freeware and always cool esp if your friends acan actually play and instrument. do a search its in the list of working programs
I lot of what you need is covered here in a similar thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469782&highlight=demo
Ive already got some nice pictures to show off the HD, but thanks for the idea.
The thread was kinda helpful but towards the end made me feel as if i had chosen the wrong device (touch HD over iPhone) as, at the end of the day, im the type of person who wants an entertainment device as opposed to one gears towards productivity. The Touch HDs GPU doesnt help things either...
Anyway, back on topic, any other apps? Thanks for your help so far
well u already mentioned apps like diamond saber , diamond beer .
u can try omniano , if u havent already
other windows mobile apps like g alarm or g watch made by members here look cool on the big screen .
or i contacts / sms chat
cant think of more apps but u can edit touch flo 3d use transparent clock or different themes etc. or maybe winterface ... it looks good on the hd
Any more Apps?

That one was nice
I find the best way to show off the HD is to have a high resolution, high quality video, then play a bit of it to people. That gets wows! I've had mine since mid November and it still makes me go "wow" when I play videos encoded using the Encoder GUI from this forum!
That really does work better than it sounds. Thanks.
Any others?
Try MusicID - a guaranteed hit.
It used to be freely available, however there was some discussion whether it was freeware of shareware.
Music ID is awsome... I honestly dont know how I managed without it. Trying to recall half a lyric I thought I heard while I was drunk. I downloaded it a couple of weeks ago. It's still free as far as I know. Obviously it connects to the net to get the data, so if you're not on WiFi then you'll be charged by your network for data.
"quickmark" is good fun. (just mentioned it in another thread) It's a kind of barcode scanner, but only scans 2d barcodes. Still good fun, especially creating them for friends.
any others?
It's amusing to offer to save their internet connection, by setting up your WM phone as a Wifi router and allow them to use your connection.
Most amusing for iPod Touch users who don't have a data connection at all, but can use Wifi!

HTC footprints on HD

The HTC footprints is a very useful application thats bundled with the new marketed HTC touch Cruise II. It can save pictures with notes and GPS location and actual address ( with either google map or papago or other navigation software ) and saves it together for future use.
Someone ported it for Touch and it seems working on other HTC devices but its just not working on the Diamond.
Anyone has any ideas?
bumpipty bump
I think that it is still a work in progress.
Check: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479057
Thread refers to the tab-integration into TF3D, but still a work in progress
Still no news??? Really looking for... I tried on cruise...impressing new way of nav-....!!!
There's a standalone version. it runs on HD but isnt usable as text is overlapping and miss-ailgned not really usable.. tab version i saw was Diamond only. Wish thed get this as a tab on HD.
Me too. Im really looking forward to it on my HD!
I got a version on the forums here and it works great.Only issue is that it is either qvga or vga so the fonts are a little wonky. I also have no tab for it so i added it the the launcher.
Actual function of the program is great and the one I have even interacts with tomtom and I can tell it to navigate to the spot the picture was taken and it will launch tomtom and set the location as my destination.
edited for asking a stoopid question!!
great game!!! we need more of this!
Has there been any development on this does anyone know? Any of the Chefs here had a dabble at it?
This is very helpful~

Iphone text zoom

Hi!
Does anyone know about an app or a program to Blackstone that can give us this effect?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a6zoVm3TS4
you've to buy an iphone if you want this i don't think this exist because f it was, xda's was publish it, maybe i'm false
Is not only that IPhone ZOOM I like.
what about the IPhone Browser zoom, has anyone got a solution for the HTC TOUCH HD?
No one's know?
hi everyone, i think the text zoom is possible but the browser and the picture zoom isn't, cause for the browser zoom you need to multi touch and our hd doesn't support that or am i wrong?
You'r right
PLEAS SOME1, MAKE US THE "IPHONE ZOOM" !
Its brilliant!

No ! It sucks.
It would be wonderfull someone making this iPhone text zoom, but i am still thinking no one will succed making it,or it would already be out, cuz it's a GOOD point of the iPhone !
the htc touch diamond is multi touch , not much software for the function, but im sure its possible to make the app.
Multitouch is (kind of) possible on Windows Mobile.
When you tap at two points at the same time the press is recognized in the middle. Using this you can add fake multitouch. Here's a little example how it could look like
http://www.wikifortio.com/867906/Multitouch test.py
It's written in Python so you need Python CE with TkInterhttp://pythonce.sourceforge.net/
It is far from perfect because you can only move the second finger that you pressed and it's laggy(probably because of my programming abillitys) and it does nothing more than showing colored circles where you press.
But with the right programming knowledge you could make a zoom just like in the Iphone browser.
WM does not support multi-touch.
I only said something about fake multitouch

Autorotate hd mini!!!!

Hi,
I want to point out, this small (cab) found a rom for HD2 Laurentius26 (Thanks) link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044596, running on a HD MINI. It allows automatic rotation (landscape). I did tests on the main features of HD MINI, from start menu seems to work well. Obviously does not work perfect on home screen and dialer. is useful to me for example, in the Remove Programs screen.....
As Laurentius26 realized, would be nice to create for HD MINI, a dialer (phone keypad) to insert into a rom cooked .... combined with the cab autorotate.
hi, does it work in the sense? i mean for example in the music tab..does it rotate into landscape same as on hd2?
hi, I tried it now because I did not know if it worked, because I do not use Music tab.
It 'clear that they can not run those programs, which have no skin in the landscape. The CAB autorotate changes the (log system) on the instructions MANILA. I think! but inside 56KB adds nothing !!!!!
In fact, I think, Laurentius26 on ROM FOR HD2 added skins to PHONE DIALER to operate in landscape.
As I have said does not work with all programs in rom: dialer (phone keypad), etc. HOME SCREEN. . MUSIC TAB LANDASCAPE in fact it does not work with BSB Tweaks !!!!!
Do not be hard for something that is given for FREE!
First of all there are already a few threads which specifically discuss about this matter with different apps (Probably around 3).
As mentioned above, the problem does not lies on the AutoRotate app but Manilla itself so unless someone is willing to create HVGA landscape Manilla skin there wont be any landscape Manilla view for our HD Mini.
Considering the low activity of HVGA skin and app development, the chance is slim ....
In fact it is so Ahinigami. I cooked a Rom for hd mini. I'm looking at this work, an application that allows autorotate COMPLETE, to be included in ROM.
(As I said above) I opened this thread with the hope, too, that someone could make a skin for HD MINI laurentis26 as it did, at least for the telephone keypad.
But here it seems only .......... : download and install!
Update
And in fact sometimes life rewards bold .......
I was reminded that long ago I published a thread (TUTORIAL MOBILE MAGIC).
From that folder (attached to the thread) I managed to build a (cab package) and fully functional. I think I continue on this road ....
telephone keypad, is it the usual dialer we're using "cprog"?
If yes, it does support landscape mode ....
I just downloaded the dialer to pack kitchens.
then placed on ROM to HD2. but I just did download.
in the little free time I'm looking for a good rom to join HD mini. Now I'm considering O2_uk
anyway .... and now that I think I can do now a (cab package), if I can send you a private pm
UPDATE:
I understood the potential of HD MINI. I spent a little time,
and I made a special cab for PHOTON. is the dialer pad (telephone keypad) that I said above.
From the first test seems to work fine (I used MOBILE MAGIC) is enclosed SCREENSHOT 2/ 3 / 4. Thanks to Ahinigami to the stimulus.
removed in error
Hi.
Thanks for Auto-rotate
If you create a cab , please upload it ...
If you're planning to cook AutoRotate app into your rom, I suggest using simpler and smaller app specifically just for this purpose.
I've tried the cab you attached in the first post and it was quite buggy (Sense tab is not functioning properly such as alignment) and without any blacklist/whitelist feature.
On the other hand Mobile Magic (Beta) is a rich feature app but comes with larger footprint.
If you've the time, pls do try out ChangeScreen. It has a simple and easy to use interface and smaller footprint.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Btw, if you're planning to include AutoRotate app into your Rom, do you plan to allow just a few selected app such as Shell32 (Start Menu), dialer, and Sense (When possible)?
Some programs are not rotate friendly and will stop working properly once rotated so you should take this into account too.
Hi Ahinigami ,
ChangeScreen I tested (I did not know) but absolutely bad (on my rom). It should immediately crash and lock system. I could not even evaluate the memory usage when this program is resident in memory.
However, I'm working on another program, and I am considering just the memory used, depending on the version used the same program. In fact, the features that I want to achieve are: the fluidity of the graphics, speed, low memory but also the workers!
For the delay on the dialer cab I apologize! Patience!
But I do not eat with it! I do this for a hobby ...... but I also have my job!
For tonight than upload a new thread in the dialer pad and the cab to rotate + tutorial. Afternoon do the last test and upload!!!
I see, take your time .... Having a new developer for HD Mini is a good news itself for me.
There is nothing I can do for you but I could at least help you to try out your new app and rom when released.
Ahinigami Thanks!
is a pleasure for me to be of help! Experience together!

Hola, great work you´re doing here
I´ve been comparing the Mini and the HD2 for a while now, and even though I´ve also achieved to rotate (force rotation) Manila/Sense, it´s not ported to landscape yet (7c60907d_manila, 22e41977_manila, 14394200_manila) and has never been. The fact is that we should have to decompile and mode some of the manila core files for it, assigning in those files the corresponding positions for the elements...
Now, if all you want to do is to be able to rotate everything else, that´s easier since a few reg entries will do that for quite some apps (see L26 rotation cab) OR by using a very simple and powerfull app like xHook or xtask. I use it on both my Mini and HD2 (yep, with Laurentius beta ROMs) and I can rotate "on demand" everything (except sense) by simply assigning the winflag softkey to the rotation of 270 degrees within xtask
Hi BHS_ Interceptor,
Thank you very much.
You gave some very interesting news!
I think it is the right way, ......
In fact that's what I'm trying to implement. From your suggestions, I will try to work .... because I want to get the final result that you wrote above. Well.

Hola Oregon, glad my post was useful. If there is anything else I can do, just let me know.
Btw, if you simply use the reg keys and also enable autorotate, the behaviour on the Mini will not suffer except on Sense. You would have to add a lot of exe´s to the white list and after installing new apps, some of this would have/need to be added as weel. Using xTask/xHook, you don´t have to worry about white list nor anything else, even about registry, since it rotates on demand what ever and when ever you press the set Key. You can also assign another key for it, but I like the win flag since we already have another one right below the softkey. If you replace the winfla icon with a "rotate" icon" then all looks perfect as well
Btw, on my HD2 (I´m also a member in Laurentius Platinum Beta team) I have assigned the button through the "build in" taskmanager Leo is using for the ROM...
