Hey all just got some questions regarding my O2 XDA-II mini:
Firstly, how do you set a background properly? I've got the mode as 640x480, but when I try and set the today background the picture is too big and the opacity is really light and it doesn't auto-size to fit as the background. And if I try and set it a different way, the pictures comes up but it's too small, but clear. Any other ways to fix this?
And with messaging, is there a way I can have my own custom SMS receive tone? I want to record a tone from my computer and set that as my SMS receive tone, anyone know how to do that?
Cheers!
Anyone?!
Come on... i'm sure some people on this forum can help me?!?!?!
Duffman, did you look around for this info?
I don't use this kind of stuff, but I understand that MortRing does this - infact, the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20711&highlight=mortring is called "MortRing - ringtones and SMS sounds per contacts/category".
Also this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=mortring
is called "SMS Ringtones?" and says
as far as i know you can only use .wav format audio....... if you have something you want to use, then copy the files into your /windows directory, dont put them in seperate folder, just into /windows
then when you select all your different sms alerts, you can see the files you placed in the directory , in the list to select.....

Re the background image. How are you getting 640x480? Using nydiot or something? Normal magician is 320x240. I don't use a background image, but I think it doesn't stretch to fit the background, it just tiles them, so you need a background image of the correct size to begin with.

i got a new problem now - when i push the 'record' button on the side of my phone it does not bring the recoridng menu/folder up! why is this?!?! thanks..
ok i got a few problems with my phone now which i'm pretty angry and confused about:
1) when i push the screen on button, it takes around 1 second or more to actually turn the screen on. why does it take so long, it didnt take that long before?
2) my record function is f*ked!!! when i push the 'record' button on the side of the phone it doesnt bring up the folder/menu like it used to. and when i record things now and try and play it - it wont play!! but i can play previous recorded stuff. for example
TEST
Record1
when i click on test, it plays. but when i click on Record1 there is no play button, and when there is the play button, it plays the 'TEST' file, or the last file that i have played. wtf is wrong?
please help me people!!! i havent even had this phone for a week!
ok ive managed to fix that problem. now i have a problem when i start my camera by pushing the 'camera' button. it takes about 30 seconds to load the damn thing and freezes the screen while its at it. why is this? it never used to have this problem? its a great phoen but recently i'm running into a lot of bloody problems with it!!! :evil:

Hi qteks200.
Have you tried searching for previous entries on this query:
My own post/poll -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40100&highlight=poll
Have a glance through many, many of these unsuccessful posts on the issue; try searching for the word "poll" against my username, vijay555.
At least one set of developers, led by user "Rain" on this board, have stated that they are developing an app to help with this by intercepting the audio path drivers for the phone line. Try researching this type of stuff.

Thanks for answering my question, but my problem is not to recording files, I want to play a wave file before begin recoding!
Your problem is more fundamental then that, which is why I directed you to those links.
Due to hardware limitations of most of the HTC phones, no one has managed to play sounds down the phone line, or record from the phone line directly. It may be possible to interact with the phone line at a driver level, but I've not seen it done yet (although maybe very soon!).
V
I could be wrong, but It was my impression that if you can record both conversations of a phone call then there should be the ability to make an answering machine app, one that will at least be give the caller the ability to record a message.
Sure saqer, but that assumes that you can record both sides of the conversation. Teksoft are releasing their app, which does something clever to record both sides of the phone call, but currently on the market there is no easy way to record both sides of the call (through software, not just loud speakers)
V
I use a software called vito audionotes...it can record both sides of the voice call...I've used it and it works and I'm not using my loudspeaker to do so
edit: okay forget that....I don't know what made me think it works...it only does one end...but it works for both ends very well when calling my voicemail, which I find rather strange.
http://teksoftco.com/ like you said in another thread I think, Vijay is supposed to come out with an app that does both ends without the need of a microphone...release date TBA in December....you think they're gonna be able to do it?
I'm quite sure they can, they've done amazing things and I doubt they would annouce it without some motivations. I have some ideas too, but too busy to think of right now...
V
I hv the complete ROM dump of gsmart i..but can't extgract with mamaich's tools..see if some one can help..
Personally, I don't mind having an answering machine that records via the speaker-phone, as most answering machines do give you loud speaker mode upon answering. As a matter of fact, I vaguely remmeber that the Symbian version of answering machine does that as well (eg answering using loud speaker). And, I'm also wondering, what happens if you can turn the volumn waaaay down before recording? As far as I can remember, if you get the caller to be in the loud-speaker, you don't have to get the mic to pick up the message on the loud-speaker, right?
So, assuming that you guys can go ahead with answeing using the speaker phone mode, do you think getting the loud speaker to play the message and pick it up on the mic so that the caller can listen to it? Such app will be useful if you were to keep your phone, speaker side up in your empty, quiet room. You will be in trouble if you were in a meeting.
hdubli -I've dumped the gigabyte rom before, and although you can extract the answering machine, it doesn't work on HTC hardware AFAIK.

Has this been tried on a quanta device? Like the HP rw 6800 series?
After spending the summer learning c# and .netcf I got my hands on a Diamond and had to make some small apps.
They're very beta and pre-release versions, but please try 'em out and give me some feedback
VibraNotify
Senses when the phone lays idle and when it is on the move, if it has been stationary for some time and it gets picked up it vibrates if there's been any unattended activity (sms, appointments, missed calls).
Should probably add some gui components for sensitivity tweaking.
CallBlocker
Rejects all callers enlisted in the supplied text-file. Currently the text-file contains "all" telemarketing numbers in norway (from telefonterror.no).
Speedometer
Really simple GPS-utility showing the current speed in different units.
Nice work!
Downloading them now.. and gonna try 'em right away...
I was thingking about another thing that the VibraNotify could do (or as a different program)
Like a theft alarm.. If the phone has been idle for some time.. and it gets piked up.. you have to enter a code.. if you dont, a high alarm sound will start
(I'm not gonna take the cred for this, someone else spoke of it in this forum some time ago)
Thanks. I'm going to try it!
Nice! I`ll have a look. Would be nice if you could set some settings, like idle time on the Vibra thingy!
Nice ... thank you.

How long is some time?
Surur
ok.. I tested VibraNotify...
I'm gonna use it for sure
But I noticed that if i get a sms and move it, it vibrates...
but if I don't check the sms... and move it again later, it doesn't vibrate
I think it should vibrate until I have checked the sms?
It's little bit annoying to see these programs working in task manager... is it possible to hide them? I mean they will be working in background... Especially vibranotify...
plus is it possible to add numbers to list for callblocker? I could not do that... well it saves as .txt file when i try to modify and save the list...
Theft alarm could definitively work, how about a mp3 shouting "Put the mobile down with two fingers only!"? Hehe
Regarding the idle time, I think I used 10 seconds, if you don't hide the windows you can se it changing states. The number outputted is the square of the sum of the changes in the accelerometer values.
I will add some gui components and registry settings for this when I got time, would be more dynamic that hardcoded constants.
I'm not sure if I understood what you meant NisseDILLIGAF, doesn't it vibrate if you got unread sms'es when you pick the phone up from i.e. the table?
emre_aachen:
Just add the numbers to the textfile, seperate by a newline, save and reload the application. It caches the numbers, maybe a wrong design decision? Comments?

No... What I mean is if I get a sms and I accidentally move the phone, It vibrates...
I haven't checked the sms (I don't know that I have a message)
When I pick the phone up ... there is no vibration... It only vibrates once..
It would be great if It would vibrate every time I move it untill I have read the sms...
Like the flashing center button... It continues to flash until I have cheked the sms or a missed call or whatever...
again.. Thanx for a great app .. It's gonna be a standard app for my phone
Ah, then I follow you. This could certainly be done! Maybe an option in the gui to enable/disable...
I certainly need to reinstall VS to continue developing
I'm keeping this topic in view, sounds like a nice app. But as read from the comments, it still needs a little bit of work (setting etc).
Nice work!

As you seams to know what you are doing I'll give you my two cents for a simple apps:
You know that when the Diamond is in standby with black screen you can't see if you have signal or not.
It's possible to have the DPAD flash when the phone in standby mode have no signal ?
Maybe it can stop flashing when the signal came back.
Let mi say after 15 sec. with no signal it start blink with 5 sec delaied flash and after a customizable time the blink
become more quick to allert that you are not reachable for a long period...
It will be wery usefull to know that without touching it.
Let me know and thank you for your great work!

I'm afraid this is not possible, when the diamond is in standby (black screen) it's pretty much like if your computer is in standby mode, all running programs are paused. Checked into this when doing the vibranotifyer, since running it in standby was my original plan.
I certainly hope I'm wrong, maybe someone can correct me?
Hey,
just thought I'd write a quick note to thank you for your programs. Small and simple, its a dream.
Keep them small and simple.
What I'm really looking for is an application to replace my Garmin305 EDGE, and I hope that you continue to develop your GPS stuff to include some of the training and tracking features that the Garmin had.
I found this program:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340667
Its called TrackMe, but its clearly not developed for the Diamond, as running it clips my battery time down to 1.5 hours.
What would be nice is to run each feature as an individual streamlined application, like your speedometer.
Anyways, thanks again.
And keep up the good work.

Too bad, but maybe I was not clear in my request.
I mean that the phone is only with the screeo switched off, but it is still active.
For example when it is in this state the phone can ring on a call or on sms...
If I understand well you mean that an apps like S2U2 can't do anything if the screen is offf while you press the power button ?
Thank you for further explanations, I'm really curious on that...

AFAIK the calling, sms'ing etc is handled on a lower layer than what is allowed for the programs, suppose the hardware raises events or something when this happens which wakes up the OS.
Can't seem to see that S2U2 does anything while the mobile is in standby mode?
I just noticed something... maybe I'm wrong..!?
But It feels like the battery is draining faster with the VibraNotify!?
Anyone else that noticed something like this?
Gonna test some more... I'll know more tomorrow...
Hi, my friend just got his Samsung Omnia few days ago, and he was showing me a program called Midomi, he put the software on, put his phone next to the radio and after few seconds there was text on the screen - the artist and the song! I didn't even know that sound detection is so advanced that the software can recognize a song from few seconds of hearing it.
i tried to search the web for a install file but couldn't find one, so i was thinking is there anyway to get it work on diamond, since omnia uses wm too and i think that the software doesn't need any superhardware to recognize the music, just a regular cellphone's mic.
im sorry if i put this message to a wrong place, and thanks in advance for any info you might have.
there was a program on here the other day that did the
same thing.dont remember the name but its here if you search.
damn i can't find it... please, anyone... im so lonely, help me

hi!
i'm very interested in music recognition, too. untill now, i've been using musicid, which is quite good. but the only problem is you need an internet conection (wifi, gprs, 3g...) to get a recognition. what i'm dreaming of is a music recognition software, which can record the song to identify, and then LATER identifiy it.
example: you're driving in your car and you're listening to your favorite radio station. you don't have a data plan, so you're not online.
now they're playing a cool song. you just might start the music recognition software, record a few seconds. later, when you're home again, you connect your phone to wifi and let the software identify the recorded song over internet.
musicid can't do this. what about midomi? or do you know another software capable of this?
thanks and have a nice day

hmm, sounds a bit uncomfortable, but i'll give it a try when i'm at home.
Hi Mr Pink, I can confirm that Midomi works brilliantly on my HTC Touch Diamond (HTC WWE 2.03 rom) using Wi-Fi internet access.
Try my version on my signature.
No need to modify the registry for HSPA/3G/GPRS.
You can install on Device/Storage Card/Internal Storage/RAMdisk as your choice.

I was very intrigued by the development of 'Seismo' application...which can detect vibration.
This is just an IDEA for a fun application.....and maybe...just maybe useful....
I'm sure u can isolate and identify the harder vibrations. With that said, lets say i left my diamond somewhere on my table...and
1) i TAP on the table twice....and my Diamond makes a noise in response...letting me know its location.
Or maybe i have it in my pocket...
2)Tap once while the music is playing to change the track....or to silent a call...or to ignore it...
and i'm sure this could be used for alot of other things.....let me know what u guys think..
Its a simple suggestions...if this is worth any of ur time....i would love to see an application like this.
Peace...
nice idea!
hope someone will create this!
That's a nice idea There could be a problem with detecting the taps, but I'm really looking forward to such an app.
Real Reason??

I am ready to develop the app. I have already downloaded the code for siesmo and changing it. But I am still trying to think of a really useful reason this app will accomplish.
So if people here can contribute and come up with some real reason.. it would be nice...
i mean I will still work on this irrespective ... and then may be share some code ...
ciao...
Maybe switching the screen on/off? I mean it would be good to get fast some info on missed calls/unread sms by taping the table
- answer a incoming call (and automatical switch the speakerphone on?!)
- next/prev track in s2p/music-tab/wmp
- chance profile (vibrate/mute/..)
- dismiss reminders/sms/calls and stuff
- find the phone on the desk
But probably this app should work only if Diamond is lying on a table - Gsensor in horizontal position I don't want my phone to do strange things when I walk with it in my pocket

true!
That could also be preventable (most of the time) by instead of using one tap (fairly common occurance by chance) to three/or more taps.
The best use would really be to mute (music/mic/ring), while in pocket. That would really be useful. Just tap...tap...tap... and its mute.
Won't this kill your batteries? I mean you would have to poll the g sensor all the time in the background for it to work.
Also there is already G Trigger which could be configured to do something similar.

I agree +1
Honestly i am still trying to find a good reason for this idea....
I am sure that if the code was written and could be made to do stuff with say a mort script, that people would find all kinds of unimaginable things that they could do with it!
I'm loving the feedbacks....
...like the issue with the battery.....very true..
but Seismo App .. was a battery drainer...but it was fun..
.We'll make it only poll if you run the application....it can still be useful...
say for instance ur studying and you were listening to songs on ur phone hooked up to the speakers...and you want to quickly change tracks...or ignore the call so u can keep listening....
or you studying and you wanna make notes of what ur reading...u tap once/twice..it starts recording..."note to self....blah blah blah " Tap again to end...
or Tap twice to run Microsoft Voice Command...
If it's not going to take too much effort..i really think its worth a try....i wish i could develop...i know i can do graphics...so i'll be helpful in that field...

You know a new game from the wii - they had an idea with the tabs : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYiYzrSuyFs
Perhaps something like that - we hav the controler and the monitor in one device
So many uses!
Just imagine, one tap for pause, 2 for next song, 3 for prev. song.
Double tap the table and it lights up and shows notifications.
Would be wicked!
Or...
If you've got your phone in your pocket while playing music, and you want next song you tap one time against your pocket (with the phone in it).
Your phone recognizes it and plays the next song. If you tap twice, it plays the previous song. Of course you can make more combinations!
The reason why this could be very handy, is because it's very annoying to pull your phone out of your pocket if you want it to play another song.
A bit the same idea but then in your pocket...
damn right.....especially when the phone has silicone casing...
even when i get a call..and its in my pocket..it'll take me soo long sometimes i miss a call...no joke.. if i can answer it just by tapping on it...that'll be nice...so i can tell them to hold on for 5 minz. then struggle to take out the phone in my pocket.
Here's a video of samsung s8000 Jet...it can regonize taps on the phone.........maybe they're using the same method we're trying to achieve
