New ROM on the block...Black Touch Edition..

Hi guys I'll leave the details to the creator of this fine ROM and let him give you the low down on it....I'll say this much...it's fast, stable and Everything works straight out the box.
A few weeks have been spent behind the scenes developing this ROM and he didn't even have a device to work with, just a few of to help test it out till the early hours of the mornings and constant feedback.
PK and ltxda, Nik and myself have been trying to get rtltoday/Touch-like interface and launcher to integrate tightly into the ROM, but their software is a little buggy and not ready for the community, so it was decided that for now we would pass up on it for the sake of stability.
Hope you like the ROM...I love it. Great work from PK and I bekieve we are going to see a lot more from this guy.

Hi Mackaby007,
Sounds like a very happy customer of the new ROM. Congratulations for your success, initiatives, and contributions.
For those of us who have been debating whether to unlock our device and upgrade to this ROM (presumably giving up on our warranty support from htc), would you mind if I ask what are the improvements that can be expected from this over the Dopod WM6 of July 27?
Someone has mentioned faster speed. What is the sktools benchmark with the new ROM?
What are the other improvements or changes? Comm manager skin color that gets updated by the selected theme? Any change to the likelihood of microdrive/sd card corruption/disappearance?
Thanks for your time.
Regards.

DREAMS of a better Polaris.

Polaris has potential, I know!
This is my first thread so don't go rough on me.
All this is about an idea, about a dream, about the future.
I wish there could be something we could all do to save our little Polaris's lives from the trash bin.
Wouldn't it be nice!?!
I suggest 5 things!
And i would need some hardcore programmers to be working on this..
Yes, for crying out loud, I am calling for Bepe, Olipro, Vivi, Udk, Pawel062, cmonex, misar, faria, tadzio, pof.. There are a lot of you guys. And really as far as I know you know what you are doing!
I am using Bepe's rom at the moment.. (bepe an update maybe?)
SO!!!!
YEA!!!
THE FOUR MAGICAL THINGS WE ALL NEED:
PROPER Graphics support - Coming in june with the Diamond i suppose.
Or if you are smart enough see how it
works in core player 1.2.4 and take it out.
PROPER Eased up system - I mean roms with all tweaks and tricks
+ make them empty, like totally empty!
PROPER List of applications - To show everything that is available for the
TC, Also more settings availability (up until
how big the application icons must be)
PROPER OVERCLOCK - What no one thought about this one?!?
PROPER Launcher - I have got one in mind, I can try to do it in
flash version, yet i'll need you guys to
program it for pocket PCs out there.
MAYBE THIS THREAD IS NEVER TO BE DISCOVERED
YET I BELIEVE THERE ARE LOADS OF OTHERS WHO
WANT TO START THE SAME THREAD!!!
Drivers+Easy System+Overclock= KILLING COOL EXPERIENCE
All the software choice, will help you decide what you really
want from the device.
I've got ideas.
I need help.
Post me a personal message to get my skype and other stuff.
Update: Changed the fonts.. not so big now..

Lot's of big fonts and requests from someone who doesn't appear to understand much about why his some of these requests can't be fulfilled.
Out of interest tcfanboy, how much cash are you willing to gift to people you've mentioned to do all this work for you?

I am not planning to sell this product, so there is no cash in this for me.
I am just saying i can contribute, i wish others could too..
I just like to have my device working, don't you?

don't be a pessimist.
I'm just tying to help.
If you don't like it, you can ignore it.
Big fonts are there to stand out. But yea i guess they are too big.
I know nothing about programming on a device such as a pocket pocket pc.
But i can program in pascal, delfi, and i am currently getting hold of c++..
I am not a lamer if that's what you are saying. I just need guidance.
Will you be of help?

People here are trying there best taking apart other devices and putting their codes into other. How about a new level?
how about writing the codes ourselves.
Just asking you if there is there a tutorial online? The one every beginner has read.

hey tcfanboy, thanks for the poll, u've got a point here but: u see all this work that the ppc wizes are doing is voluntary and asking them for stuff that they already know abt its not the best idea(my opinion). I'm sure they're doing their best to provide all of us with good roms and various improvements but they're not receiving any help from the company that was supposed to do all this work: HTC !
Anyway, HTC announced that they will release some sort of update in this month or next one for the devices with Q7xxx chips that will provide some sort of fix for the current issues but they didn't specify what exactly will the update do. And its not surprising considering they don't even admit they've got a problem with the video acceleration
I'm definitely looking forward to see your list of requests integrated in a rom and I'm sure sooner or later it will happen. Thanks to every1 working on any improvements!

according to an o2 germany insider at ppc-welt.info, there can not be software driver update, since this is software code on core-level, wich cant be solved by flashing a rom

there will be an update that fixes something that htc is not willing to tell in advance but it optimizes grafik performance
the hardware acceleration cant be activated afterwards, according to the o2 guy

i might be able to contribue with a ultra lite rom. i know i said i would release a new project rom but i want to mess more with a lite rom so will release a full and lite rom tommorow. if u all dont mind me removing almost everything like camera etc.. i can definatly get something really lite made.

acceleration can be turned on and off at any time. acceleration is nothing more than making dlls that turn on the acceleration and use it. manilla aka touchflo 3D is a example of acceleration in use. if u look at the dependencies of manilla then you will know the dlls needed for acceleration.

Manila runs on a quite different device though
The actual hardware could be disabled in the Polaris-generation through some sort of burning certain areas on the chip (some guy wrote about it in here a couple months ago) to physically destroy certain features. But giving effort to find out if that is the case by disassembling other ROMs is surely not the wrong thing to do! I guess I'll wait for some sort of fix or buy an Xperia if that one happens to arrive first

hey Pawel, if u'll integrate in your rom all the fixes and current improvements that vivi, pdaviet and udK have in their roms, it doesn't matter how lite the rom will be because we can always install on it the applications we want.

I don't know much abt wm platform but working in IT gives me a bit of a tech background and I'm learning fast, please correct me if I'm wrong but I think this video acceleration problem on Polaris is not easily achievable even with the dlls from Diamond because they are built for VGA and TC is using QVGA Right?

This is correct. But then again a driver is a driver and the resolution shouldnt play a role. nVidia drivers work for 1920x1200 as well as they do for some 1024x768 output... It could be different though for fixed resolution devices like our mobile devices are. We'll see, we'll see, or we might switch the hardware manufacturer...

Really? It looks like you're making so much promises both in Polaris Project, with the Glass ROM and now here.

thx
I am glad to get some Seniors here. Thx guys. I saw this post of all the htc programs..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344544
Well.. you should add the program list of the programs in the original rom.
Downloadable links and light description of features.
Yea, I am a demandive person! Someone must be.
Btw, there is an excellent company which makes software with understandable interface. Well.. I did not necesserely buy their products.. But the name is Vito. So this is the interface which should be used. If interested in them ask me I'll provide a free link. I am from russia. It's legal here. )))

Stock quotes

Hi,
On my sons Iphone, he gets stock quotes with a push on an icon...
Can this be done with a Diamond?

Something like this maybe? I'm working on it.

Pefect!!! that's it.... When??
JP

I'm not sure yet. I just started playing around with it a few days ago in my spare time. I'll probably post a beta within a couple weeks, or maybe tomorrow, who knows.

WOW...this may save me another grand (by not getting the HD) if you can get that running. I like the appearance and format, as well as the research options.
I WILL DEFINATELY DONATE TO YOU AT THE TIME I DOWNLOAD! YOU ARE MY FAVORITE PERSON OF THE DAY...CONGRATS!

...in the meantime you could look at Stock Manager. Works well on my Diamond.

Right now, just using http://wireless.etrade.com. Not as fast, and interested in getting it into a tab in TF3D (see there is manila files from the HD already on this site, so may get my wish). I like the format of this one much better, so may run both (depending on final product, and visibility of all the markets).
THANKS AGAIN!

this looks really awesome!! looking forward to your app!
please hurry, can't wait any longer...

First post
Hi guys,
i was searching for the same thing and now i use Equity Expert. It works fine and looks ok.
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-equityxpert.html

I'll leave this thread for posting links to the existing apps out there. For those interested in an "XDA-grown" solution, see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441204
I changed the colors from the original design, and posted a working proof of concept, which will soon be the full blown thing. Screenshot below.

that all looks so cute!!! i really can't wait

You guys looking for a Stock app, should relax and lay back and let the Masters/geniuses of XDA Developing, eventually port Black Stone ROM to Diamond.
Then we shall have the cool stock TF3D app.
Dont get me wrong Member GeckoDev, looks like your app is gonna kick assss
Thanks.

This matches my theme much better, so you are my favorite person today as well. I will run both yours, and the TF3D tab from the HD. I like your format much better. The HD tab will give me quick glance, but your tab will help me make decisions wirelessly before I buy/sell on my E*Trade account.
Fantastic job!

I was the one who initially posted the question about the stock quotes program...
So I am very pleased with the great work there has been done..
Alas, I can not install it because my diamond refuses to install Net CF 3.5.
I get an errormessage about freeing space (lots of space left) and about a "errormessage" 2
Can somebody please help?
I got the ice of changing in the registry:
HKey_Local_Machine - Software - Microsoft - .NETCompactFramework
click on 2.0.7045.00 - 1 to 0
click on 3.5.7283.00 - 0 to 1
3.5.7283.00 isn't even in mmy registery....
Thanks

I agree the Equity Expert is very nice VGA stock quotes applications and its also ready to work with the Touch HD, Omnia and Xperia devices !

[req] iPhone SpoofApp Alternative for Windows Mobile

One day my brother, his friend and I pulled a prank call using someone elses number and using a woman's voice. You could also record the conversation as well. Would there be a program similar to this? It would be very helpful if it could be like it along with some extra voices maybe? I saw a topic in the Kaiser forum but it is from February of last year so maybe there are some new things until now. Thanks

We defintely need this app for Winmo..

spb shell offical version out in a few days

hi,
just thought u would like to know i have just been over to the spb forum where one member asked the administrator if they wanted feed back on the early leak (i thought it was a test cab but the admin guy said it is a early beta). he said that most of the problems in it are already known and have been fixed.
He then went on to say to wait for the offical release before giving feedback on problems which is DAYS AWAY NOT WEEKS.
So i expect it next tuesday as i have heard spb like releasing stuff on tuesdays

Okay...Never was a beta tester YEEAAHH!!
Thanks for information.
Some bugs are really annoying but I guess I'll buy this software!

the beta is still a 3.0 build so it should upgrade for free if u have registered it bit as the leak is well known by spb they might (if they were smart) make the serial codes different so that it does not upgrade.
we will see soon,i dont mind paying as i know spb products a top notch but getting it free would be a bonus

Why free? Is your one a already registered version?
Because mine is a trial. So when it comes out I will have to buy it.
Greets

yeah i got allready some bugs, but i spend alot of time for the widgets menues and sort everything on spb mobile 3.0 (beta) it would be cool if it save the config (widgets,contacts+foto) and everything, and just make an update to official release...
hope so, if somebody knows something let me know !

can we change the background wallpaper easily?

yes i allready did some own.. ! its no problem !
