Artemis Touch 4.01 Not keeping time & other bugs

Hi, any one know why my clock constantly slows down and I need to set the time again ? It is not an active sych issue... it just slows down.. looses time..
Everything seems to be working other than that on my arte110....
But.. the touch cube/ flow stuff... would be nice if there was some instructionst on that because I dont see any of that happening on my phone even though I got it set to default in the touch flow settings....
No animated cubes or other stuff inn navigation.... Not sure what it is exactly supposed to look like...
the only animated feature is the contact list and the opera mini , as a page loade it slides in... cool,
But other than that opera mini sucks...
it can hardly search this forum.....
and no tabbed browsing or selecting, copying text...
it is however very fast.
And isnt there some sort of function holding down the buttons to the phone vibrates? Would be nice to know about how that works....
Zoom on the camera doesnt work at 2 mp setting...
media player part of the home screen seems non functional...
And what is this hibernation feature?
BTW, it seems that when my screen is dark the phone stops keeping time...
I hope I am not missing any calls durring this time....

The TouchFlo configuration utility clearly lists what you have to do to make it work, the best setting for me is the top to bottom option, never fails

considering it's a beta, it's a million times better at browsing the web that Pocket IE. Can't expect everything and surely not from a beta at that.

The first post to Touch 4.01 defines which hbutton command are set by default. You can add your own extras from the hbutton commands in programs

Frees up extra ram, that is all
You just need to take the time to explore the features this ROM has, there are a lot of applications included, some may not be to your taste, and others you'll think are fantastic(like hbutton), if there is a specific application you need to find more about, try searching through the forums or on google, there is a lot of information out there regarding most of the applications, unfortunately we can't expect Meschle to produce a lengthy instruction manual detailing each and every single aspect of his ROM, part of that is the expectation that the people using custom ROM's should be able to figure out the nitty gritty details.
Of course the forums are here to answer questions, but it is also a repository of answers to the questions already asked. The TouchFlo one has come up many times.

Extra "Fun Frames" on my HTC S620

Does anybody know how you can add more frames to Camera on the HTC S620. Ive just come back from holiday and when I was using the Camera for a few "fun pix" I was greatly dissapointed in the lack of choice... basicaly it only had four week frames to choose from. So as soon as I got back I went about getting some more frames for my phone.... which I found, but my phone cant find them. Ive already tried adding a "Frames" folder to "My Documents" both on my phone and the storage card but yet the phone doesnt recognise any of the frames. Anybody else have this problem or even better can anyone else give me instruction on how to get it to work?
if anybody wants to know the Camera Software im using is the Camera for Smartphones version 4.52 that came pre installed with the phone as I dont want to be having more than one installed.

Just out of curiosity, what's a fun frame?
I knew the camera software on the Dash could do "effects" like sepia or negative. Never heard of the above.

I am in the same boat, what exactly is a "fun" frame just wondering?

oh, I assumed all the HTC S620's had all the same basic software I wasnt aware that Frames wernt available on all models.
What I mean by fun frames is like Magazine Covers which you select and take a picture with the frame on top of it.
The four that come with the BT ToGo version which I have is one which has two magazine covers on (you take two pictures and they get put into the frame), a cartoony spikey frame, one which looks like a notice board with two pictures on and finally a folding frame that holds three pictures...
the problem is that they are too specific like the memo on the notice board say "I love you" on one and "happy birthday" on the other... and the three way folding frame has love hearts on so it isnt like you can use them on any occasion.
...Picture Themes, thats what they are!!! Mabey I would have got more response if I posted under that.

Yea this is a ROM specific function. I remember having this on my T-Mobile SDA. You could have images pre drawn on the screen with a spot in the middle of the screen so yo could take a picture and use the template around the picture. For example: i had one that was a template of bubbles, snorkle and face mask, and if you got the picture aligned properly you could make it look liit the person you wrre taking a pic of was wearing the snorkel and mask and look like they were underwater. Kinda cool effect. I never noticed this feature on the DASH though.
edit: i just found the templates on WM 6.1 , but the four that are preloaded are pretty lame.

Aaaaahhhhh, never mind Ive found out how you do it...
the trouble was BT never provided me with a manual with the phone, its all done online in PDF format now. But after trawling through the PDF I eventually found out how to add extra frames -
Template Folder (Picture Theme only). By default, templates are
stored in the \My Documents\Templates folder on the device’s Main
Memory. If you transferred some templates to a storage card (via File
Explorer), set this option to Main + Card to specify that templates are
located in both the main memory and the storage card.

so thats where I was going wrong, I had read somewhere that the folder had to be called Frames... when that didnt work I renamed it Template when all along it should have been Templates.
Thanks anyway.

do you have any templates to share?

Templates
Here you go.
Uh, I know it's not rocket science, but my upload keeps failing, I was trying to upload a few templates that I have for the DASH, Excalibur, etc.

Yeah I have found one or two good ones, I will try and post them sometime today
A couple of Wako Jacko's from BoSelecta (one just does the face while the other takes the face and background)
a Shrek and Fiona and a Wanted poster for now...
I think the frames from Sony Ericson phones should work (320x240) so im going to see if I can find them on my girlfriends phone and copy them onto my excalibur. The Sony Erricsons have some great fun frames and to be honest a really good camera built into their phones.

Does the frame need a special neme or extension?.
In Which folder need to be placed?
PS: Sorry my bad English

[THEME] Android for WAD2 by Mallman RELEASED!!!!

Now available at www.swampthing.net
*** Notes ***
1. Android doesnt really do that much which I was surprised at.
2. There are 5 screens on this theme and I only use 3 of them so 2 are there for you to get creative with or just delete if you dont want them
3. Android uses a hard "menu" button to bring up its menu so I put a little purple android on the screen to mimic its function
4. The background on this is super widescreen meaning the background spans across 5 screens. really cool feather of android and I am glad I was able to mimic it. If you change the background you will loose this effect
5. Navigation of this theme is as follows:
A. Tap the box with time and such to unlock
B. Swiping your finer up and down on the main screen bring up the apps menu and hides it. Pressing the button also does this
C. Switing your finger left and right navigates between the pages
D. Pressing the purple android toggles the manu on the phone and messaging pages
AS ALWAYS, READ THE FAQ IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FIRST

cool android! aha a fake android to show to my friends that my HD works on android!

possible to side the homepage left and right like the real android?? and i assume WAD2= wisbar advance desktop2??

haha hey are you saying my other themes aren't cool!?!?!?!?!?! LOL JK, it will be available relatively son. real like slowing me down

Well i like your themes very much!! But I want to impress the people with my blackstone with a cool theme and stuff. Not a blackstone which looks like a wannabe iphone. So i can't wait for this andriod which will beat the Iphone theme, I hope !
I will be waiting for your theme!

i have done a lot of research on Android's UI by watching all the videos and screenshots I can find and I have to say that it really doesnt have much lol. I have pretty much completely recreated it. Of course it isnt possible to recreate its browser or contacts lists etc etc etc. One thing I was able to mimic is its "spanning desktop wallpaper". My version has one wallpaper that spans across 5 screens (not the same wallpaper over and over but a 2500x800 across 5 screens)
I am putting in some menus that mimic the small white one on each page that appears when you press the hard menu button on the G1. I am saying all of this so that those of you who have not used an Android phone think I am missing a lot because there isnt much to miss

now available on www.swampthing.net

so u have to buy WisBar Advance Desktop 2.1.2.1 to use this right?

MALLMAN.....like always buddy, nice looking. When I have time this week, i will jump on your website and check out the themes. Hey quick question. When i try to export my theme or save it, it takes a long.....LONG time. Any ideas? I know that they are saved to the SD card, any way to speed up the process?

Unzip before you save it across to the storage card.

New Method for High Quality Backgrounds

Hi everyone, I just stumbled onto this by mistake.
Are you fed up of the poor quality for the backgrounds in tf3d.
Just do as I did by accident and I hope it works for everyone.
1. Use photoshop create a clear image 480 X 800 pixels
2. Save this image as a .png file (Interlaced) - (Example Clear.png)
3. Transfer this to your HD (Storage card also can)
4. install mun-background4allpages.cab
5. On tf3d settings tab, use "Home Wallpaper" and select that .png file as your background.
6. Soft reset your HD.
If your background turns white after the soft reset, then you have succeeded.
7. Now you can set any picture of 480 X 800 pixels or larger as your background without any loss in quality. (I recommend 800 X800 pixels)
**Note: The default background is automatically changed to your selection every time you set a new background. I have no idea at all why but it is a positive side effect as far as i am concerned.
Please also note that this is something I have stumbled upon while playing with my HD,
I don't know how to undo what I have done !
For your info, the details of my machine:
My ROM is not a cooked ROM. It is the OEM ROM.
ROM version: 1.18.723.3 (23358) WWE
ROM date: 11/24/08
Radio Version: 1.09.25.14
Protocol version: 52.49a.25.26U
For those who do not know photoshop, this is the Clear.png image I used.

understood
yes sir, I have read that post.
I understand what you say.
Please try and see if it works.
because it worked for me.
As I said, It's just something I stumbled upon and I just thought of sharing it.
if it does'nt work then I sincerely apologise, and my post should then be deleted.
Please see the attached screen shots.
I used Illium softwares screen capture to take them.

No need to comment on him like that. Perhaps he found a solution to it by doing that? And so what if he didn't, it isn't a method anybody stated before and atleast he made the effort to share it with us.
Besides, none of this is exactly ''scientific''.

Kudos to you Ivanhou, can't try your method atm as I'm on the Titanium interface. Hope it works for some people.

If he is saying that it worked for him why do you still keep claiming that his solution may not work because it is not just a clear png file? If you dont have nothing better to say then don't say anything. His solution might work for some other people.

Will this trick work for the latest Manila? I assume not since you're using stock ROM and background4allpages.cab.
Damn, the other methods are too much stuffing around, great find though, thanks for sharing.
EDIT: Absolutely not working for new Manila (old Manila it works very well indeed) thanks anyway bro.

i am not claiming anything and i can say what ever i want as long i do not insult or flame. what does this mean "might work for some ppl" anyway? australian ppl? white ppl? tall ppl?
i did not say is not working, i did not say it is in the wrong thread did not say anything negative. all i said is "it seems too easy"...and i'll add now "in my opinion". can i have an opinion that is different from the thread opener or yours?! i also pointed to the others threads that are dealing with this. same question for you: did you tried it? it works for you?
so many advocates this days

KukuriKu, then why insinuate it's not working when you haven't even tried it yourself? Your comment seemed like you were attacking him. For your information, it DOES WORK. Unlike you, i've just tried it on a stock rom and can confirm it works.

Thanks for this, will give it a try later on when I get home. One thing that may be possible is to uninstall mun_background thingy after??? I shall report back later......

I can't select the png as background, doesn't appear.....

png won't appear ...
Hi
It won't appear because it is clear.
Just soft reset ur HD and the screen should turn white.
then you can set any images you like and see the result.
good luck.

I regret to inform after following instructions completely...it didn't work. But thanks for sharing though. When I set the picture i thought it was clearer but when I went to album in touch flo, brought up the picture, then clicked the home button, you could see the sharpness go worse.
Lets keep trying though, I don't believe for one minute this phone is not capable of displaying hi res pics. Its just a bugger to figure out lol.

S-Note Question

Hi Everyone,
In the video below, at around 2:30, the S-Note app is launched and it opens a New Note at start-up. I haven't been able to do that. Whenever I launch S-Note, it opens a list of existing books by type, with a plus sign on the top right, which has to be tapped in order to create a new note. How can I configure S-Note to open a New Note automatically at start-up, like in the video? I appreciate all help.

Of course. What I found out is that there is actually no way of doing what I wanted. In the video, what happened is that most certainly the Notes app had already been opened and all the steps needed to create a new note had already been taken, and the app was running in the background. So then, in the video, when the app was "opened" from the Multi-Window, it seemed that it was being launched, but actually it was only being brought to the foreground.
Regards,
Alan

If you wanna open a quick note just hold the button on the s-pen and double tap the screen.
