an app to turn on flash light at the back

hi everyone , i am looking for an application to turn on flash light at the of wizard so i can use it for example to see key hole of the my main door in the dark
any one has any info? i belive vijay555 can create one?

nolovelust: man, you have to check if anyone has asked this question before, and you really shouldn't say stuff like that about me!
I believe I can make one as well, but there's a lot of incredible guys on here, and I'm an insignificant beginner, so it's disrespectful to the others :wink:
I have done some work on the flash. I'll be posting some info shortly, most likely failure, but with a way to achieve success. I'll clarify soon.

sory about that i didn't mean to be rude to anyone and search option of phpBB is a bit unusefull when you search more than one words you need to know almost exact topic name ( or am i doing something wrong? )

Yeah, it's useless with boolean searches. I've found it more helpful if you tell it to show posts, not topics.
Basically, AFAIK, it's not been achieved yet. But I know it can be, and I've done some work on it. But being nearly there isn't the same as being there, so no, I haven't done it yet. But...

Guys, as of 3am yesterday I managed to control the flash, so I've made the torch app for the Universal.

I'll report back shortly, but there is flash light on the back of the wizard, right? I will start checking if I can write this for the wizard as well.
<cheeky mode>
If anyone has a spare Wizard available (IMEI blocked is fine, I need the hardware only), a donation would aid development immensly :wink:

Yep, there is a flashlight on the back of the Wizard.

vijay555 - you could just have a Wizard owner try the code you're using on the Exec? Chances are it's the same driver/etc. (IA Camera)

ZeBoxx: I'm sure it's likely to be the same code, but curiously the hard reset code wasn't the same between these devices. There's different mechanisms required to hard reset a Universal and a Wizard. I'm going to try to rip a rom from the FTP and have a look. There are several apps I need to investigate for several slightly overlapping hacks I'm working on.
Also, the different processors require a different treatment with some of these hacks... but if I get to that position, I'll shout out for a wizard beta tester. I'll have to try to get hold of one briefly to try out an app or two... off to the O2 shop to "demo" one

Guys, on my website I've posted VJCandelaLite 0.2 beta. This is hopefully Wizard compatible, but I can't test it since I don't have one. Someone brave, please give it a go and report back
Thanks!

No go on wizard - details in:

Just an idea or two

How about on this thread,we answer two things ,which may helpspread awarness of apps & prog out there maybe also help see what your exec can do and achieve
If the above idea is ok I'd like to ask two things
A
If you just got a brand new shiny out the box exec,what would you do too it and what would you add.?
I Intend this weekend to save and compress any memory,by using another ROM and other software,but I have no idea,so ill search the site this weekend
secondly maybe we can post up here ,things you'd like,your exec to do,
hopefully if your request isn't too OTT,someone may know a way or provide a link
for e.g.
I'd like my exec to watch tv is this poss?
reply
either pre load your memory card with compressed films and use a dvd software,like this
www.alink.com
or install slingbow and the relevant software,this is there homepage
www.homepage.com
a one thread resource for a how to,regards the limitations of an exec

jaceuk - we're having this discussion over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56072&highlight=
But basically, the wiki lives, and is used as a repository for knowledge. Anyone can access/update it. That's the best way to distribute this type of information.
Regarding what to do with your Exec, there are several threads on the subject... eg what software to install etc.
OTT requests - just post them. People will respond if they can!
Very few things are too OTT
V

Thanks as always ur the gent,i was unaware of the wiki ill look
thanks

But any questions, search first, but do ask. That's why we're a community

Roms - noob questions

I've gone through all the pages in the Prophet part of the forum I can't seems to find answer for the (probably) very simple questions that I have. I'm guessing that just about everyone (except me of course) knows the answers to these questions so here goes:
1. Upgrading ROM, why?
I'm guessing that the main reason to do an update is the same a running updates for a normal PC? Old problems and issues are resolved with a new rom?
2. Different versions?
Going through the forum you run across various versions; Dopod, I-mate, S200 (and some I've probably missed). Is there any page or guide that shows the differences between the various versions?
3. Phone company info?
If you update the rom, will all phone company info be lost? Can you enter the stuff that needs to be entered manually? I'd hate to do an update and then not be able to use my phone anymore.
4. Warranty?
Any idea if messing with your rom voids the warranty on the phone?

1. Upgrading ROM, why?
I'm guessing that the main reason to do an update is the same a running updates for a normal PC? Old problems and issues are resolved with a new rom?
Yes.
2. Different versions?
Going through the forum you run across various versions; Dopod, I-mate, S200 (and some I've probably missed). Is there any page or guide that shows the differences between the various versions?
Mainly due to some of the goodies attached to some of the ROM, e.g. the splash screen some of the Today's plugins.. and mostly on the Ext ROM.
3. Phone company info?
If you update the rom, will all phone company info be lost? Can you enter the stuff that needs to be entered manually? I'd hate to do an update and then not be able to use my phone anymore.
Yes. Yes. You can still use your phone if you know what you are doing.
4. Warranty?
Any idea if messing with your rom voids the warranty on the phone?
Yes, it will void your warranty in most cases.

thanks for the quick reply..
2. Different versions?
Any idea if you can see somewhere what the differences are? And does it really matter if I use the Dopod rom on my Qtek S200?
3. Phone company info?
I was suddenly wondering if you really need to enter any info at all. Isn't it enough to set Network to automatically select and the info on the SIM will take care of the rest?

Hi cobra25.
In the future I recommend you don't restrict your browsing to the Prophet part of the forum. There is a lot of interesting stuff in the general forums for everyone and then there is the WiKi.
Now to your questions:
1) Yes, it's just like updating your desktop windows and device drivers, but while a certain update may fix some issues, it may cause others.
Example: AKU2 update gives you push mail and A2DP (BT stereo) but it removes clock from taskbar and makes the date plugin 2 lines high. This really annoys some people.
2) This are versions from different brands. Ordinarily you can only upgrade to the same brand you bought the phone under. To change brand you need to CID unlock you phone or use a special updater that doesn't check for vendor ID. All this info can be found in the WiKi.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a comparison page for Prophet (someone posted a doc file for the Universal a while back). I do remember a couple of month ago someone on this forum written a comparison after flashing several different ROMs.
3) Settings for MMS and internet (I assume that's what you meant, since everything else is stored on the SIM) will be lost unless the update was issued by your phone company (like Orange or O2), but it is not difficult to recover. You can set it up manually (your phone company is obligated to provide the setting on their site or through customer support), or you can unlock the extended ROM (simple registry tweak) and save the settings cab file to the PC.
4) If you use an official update from the OEM or the phone company, it shouldn't void the warranty. However it is best to check with who ever sold you the device on the exact policy.

Thanks for the answers. The weekend is just around the corner so I'll take your advice and take a look in the general forum.
As for point 3:
Can you believe that I haven't even looked at MMS & Internet yet. I've got my normal PC for internet. Currently using it to play games, use the calendar, contact and mainly the normal phone.
Next thing I'm going to take a look at is push mail, that certainly seems interesting..

Ok, well to set you off on the push mail thing:
If you have an exchange server available, it as easy as entering its info in ActiveSync on the device.
If not look up mail2web. It's a free service, but you do need to create an account.
But heed my warning:
Push mail uses a lot of GPRS traffic and as a result shortens battery life significantly.
It is not recommended if you have limited data plan or can't recharge your phone every day.
Oh and one thing I forgot to mention:
When you update the ROM all data in your device is deleted so back it up!
Have a nice weekend!

Another disturb factor is SPAM. It is push mail killer.

MSM7201 datasheet?

Hi all,
So I've done some looking, and from what I've read, and my own searches, I've gathered that the datasheet for the MSM72xx stuff is not readily available anywhere on the net (unfortunately)..
I'm guessing this is something one would need to go to Qualcomm directly to get? (or are there avenues I'm not aware of?) What attempts have already been made in this regard? Are there actually copies of this out there in average people's hands (under NDA, etc), or has one never even been seen outside of Qualcomm/HTC? If it is possible to get them, what procedures are required?
Basically, I'm assuming I'm not the only one who's interested in seeing one of these, but I'm not that familiar with dealing with Qualcomm or with this particular scenario, and I'm not sure what's already been done.. what's the community status in trying to obtain datasheets for these things?
(For clarification: I have found the MSM7200A brochure off the web site, but I'm talking about actual datasheets with technical hardware/programming details)

I hope you can find something.. I have been searching also and have not been able to find anything..

I've seen user guides older MSMs like MSM62xx on some Chinese forums last year. Probably this is the best you can google.
Unless you order a decent batch of ICs with intention to build a device, Qualcomm is unlikely to provide you with any technical documentation. And people who do have it are tied up by non-disclosure agreements, so they won't let it out either.
But if you manage to get a hold of complete or partial tech notes/data sheets form MSM72xx, please do share with the community.

do you have a link to those MSM6xxx docs.

http://blog.baisi.net/?27/spacelist-bbs-view-file-page-3

Also, here's an MSM7200 teaser for all of us:

The actual PDF is not attached, but I guess the poster does have it.

Has the MSM72k stuff

Thanks RyeBrye, excellent stuff!

The link that RyeBrye posted no longer has the files available. Does anyone know of another location that MSM7201 datasheet can be downloaded?
Thanks

Hey guys, here is all the docs u been looking for. I'm not the one who aquried them. I'm not the one who uploaded them. I simply ran across them when tryin to fig out how to enable video output.
http://www.box.net/shared/etsai78xa2

Due to links above unavailable, can anyone share this copy of MSM7201a Datasheets yet again!! Or, notify me by means of a private message in order to bypass some trouble!!
So, any help is greatly appreciated!!

APP request - grol testing software for windows mobile

Hello everyone. I am a second year electronics student and am now working for my General Radiotelephone Operator License (GROL). I am looking at having to memorize the answers to just under 700 questions. Its rather tough lol. The reason I am here is simple. I have searched and searched and have not found any software for my touch pro that will help me study for this test. I don't know how to write programs but I know that many of you out there do a phenomenal job. I am looking for someone that would write a program for me that would quiz me on all the questions for the GROL. In fact I believe that if one where interested in making a few dollars he or she could go all out and make a program that creates a full exam from the test question pool, then watches which ones the user gets wrong and makes sure to ask them more often. It would also be cool if a pop up window came up explaining the proper answer. I also think it would be nice to have a screen at the end showing results. I know at first this seams daunting but I do have software that came with my book that is close to this and could send you a copy. Also, the entire question pool is listed on the fcc website. It wont let me post the link here but if you contact me by email i can find it for you.
The GROL only requires sections 1 and 3. The only other program similar was marked at $40.00 and for the pc. Nothing has been found for the PPC where it makes the most sense. During random downtimes a person can do a few random questions here and there. I believe that if made to look nice with a nice touch style interface someone could post this to windows marketplace and sell it for $20.00 easily and make some nice cash on it. I would learn to program and do it myself if it weren't for the fact that I am in class now and need it ASAP.
Thanks in advance for all that entertain the thought of taking this on

It's not exactly what you said, but maybe you can use SuperMemo UX & SuperMemo Mobile. It's free software, but you will need to build your own course.

I know this is an older post. And I knkw what you mean, and are talking about. I am changing career fields into Avionics, and a classmate has an app for his (cry)Phone. But in the Google Play Store, they have some, but they are expensive for what it is ($19.99 and $12.99). I can't find anything except crApple. Absolutely no Android. I can't even find anything where someone ported the CD that is in the book over to Android and other platforms. I have coppied the files from the CD to a folder on my computer called "GROL." So I didn't have to have the CD in my computer the whole time. I'm going to graduate at the end of this month, and I only have Element 1 done. Partly its my own fault for waiting until now. But either way, I'll have 3 & 8 done. But it would be nice if I could take the studying with me when I have life going on and not by my computer. Lol
Android surpassed crApple, and yet we still get kicked to the curb.
