Screen and keybord ? - Shift General

Hi, I am interested in bying a Shift.
So I did read the manual and saw the pictures there and did not find an answer for :
1. does the SnapVue-Screen appear smaller than the Vista-Screen sreen? ( it looks like the screen of my advantage X7500 )
2. if I use the SnapVue for mail etc. , is the original keyboard disabled? ( it looks like I could only use the on-screen-keyboard )
Thank you and sorry for my poor english!

Hello,
1. Your right. In SnapVue (or WindowsMobile) the screen resolution is 640*480 like by an HTC-Advantage. Native resolution of the Shift display is 800*480, because of that, you have two black stripes left and right.
Anyway, i think the display is a little bigger.
2. Sure, you can use the hardwarekeyboard any time.
Bye,
Lyvia
P.S
Maybe this thread is interesting, if you which to use SnapVue "better."

and many thanks for Your quick answer.
And thank You for this link......

VGA out resolution question

Great it works...great monitor indeed...))
*lol*
It´s my best *gg*
I got it running on my projector - 7ft Tomtom is GREAT!
OK, I didnt really use my XDA Exec (universal) in realVGA mode because the today page was just too small...
Now I havent tried it on the Ameo (Athena) yet, but it looks better from those pics.
My question, from the larger screen size, would you say the Athena was usable in daylight with realVGA mode on? Its hard to see the screen in daylight and the last thing you want to have to do is squint at tiny fonts.
hello, very good how do you change the resolution?
thank you
You install MvRTrueVGA.
... and SdkCerts
In other words:
1. Google for "MvRTrueVGA"
2. Follow the instructions...
hum thank you , so it was what i imagined, but they have a lot of bugs , lets see if there is one update soon
I wouldn't count on there being an update soon.
And "a lot of bugs" is matter of definition. Personally, I can't live without TrueVGA at all.

Advantage HTC Home landscape QVGA, anybody?

Hi there Folks,
maybe a strange question, but I give it a shot. I tried to install the HTC Home - All Devices on my HP910C. Works. Only problem: NO more space for a today plugin... :-( But after a search on the internet I saw that on the HTC Advantage they made a nice solution to keep a little space to run a few today plugins... They moved the three buttons from SMS, Mail and missed calls to the right, so there is a slimmer HTC Home to fit on the today screen. VGA of course :-( I searched trough XDA and on the internet, but it seems like nobody ever shrunk it to QVGA. Do you guys think it is possible to make a QVGA sollution for "non-rotatable" landscape devices? That's the only thing I seem to miss on it... Anybody a suggestion, hint, link? Or should I forget about it and go whining in a little dark corner of my room and accept the punishment of going to a HP from my Tytn... link: http://i.zdnet.com/gallery/202271-480-360.jpg
Kind regards from the land of fries and beer,

[REQ] HD Keyboards for VGA..

Hey!
First of all iam really sorry if this has been asked before! But i searched around and didn't find anything about it ..
I have seen some roms with The Touch HD Keyboards cooked into them but only for once because they were to buggy. I would like these keyboards on my Touch Diamond, actually it is only the Phone Keypad iam looking for as the HD keypad provides a better way of changing between words..
Has this allready been made available as a cab or ?
Btw: Hope this was placed in the right section .. Just thinking that the guys here at the diamond forum is more into hd porting than they are at the development and hacking section ..
Thank you!
~D
Just bringing this to the top.. Nobody that knows anything?

EDIT: Ok instaled it on Internal not Device. But why there is so mess ... Wvga is 800x480 vga is 640x480 width is the same :/ But there is so messy in width :/

Well... Dug up a little and found it!
Credits to Radix999 for broadcasting it and giving a detailed instruction.
And also please thank xboxmod as the .cab is taken from his "Bell UI Test Rom" thread
... oh yah.. This Keyboard ROCKS!!! Tried & Tested on Dutty's V2.8 ROM
Radix999 said:
The new blackstone keyboard that people have talked about is an add-on and must be installed separately and was supplied in another thread.
You can download the new keyboard need from:
http://www.1filesharing.com/download/Z1TQ2XXI/
Extract the contents of the file into a temporary directory on your phone
launch the taskmgr application included
kill SIPGT_app process
then install xmicky keyboard fix.cab
a restart will be needed at the end
this will install the new blackstone keyboard with arrow keys.
Enjoy!

works great,very nice keyboard.
works on swifts 7.5.
Hi!
I've tried to install this keyboard on my Diamond with 1.93 Official ITA Rom, but when I use any app in landscape I see it cutted.
Why???
Edit: It's a WVGA Keyboard? Beacause I've not a Touch HD but a simple Diamond (that is VGA). Perhaps it is the problem.
Nice guys ! Just what i was looking for.. Next thing is how do we change the language for T9 input?
Hi guys,
I haven't any clear answer.
Does it fit on the Diamond screen? In Landscape? In portrait?
I'm at work and can't try right now.
Thanks for your reply.
it does fit in portrait, not in landscape.
it is usable in landscape but it is cut of.
b.t.w.
with every thing i do, my phone opens the smal keybord in stead off full qwerty.
even if i put it on full qwerty in the settings.
Works great in portrait. Noticed if I want to start a new email or text, the phone would pick up a name or give me an option of a person to choose from when adding a name to send to. now it doesn't. Could this be linked?
when i try to dl it i get a virus warning from norton....
any mirrors?
thats norton giving you a false positive.
its famous for doing that.
Does anyone know how to change the language? Its rather pointless having this keyboard if we can't change it to the language we want..
i'm able to change the lang...
works great on my TD using duty v3.3
can someone upload this to a different server? i cant download anthing off that site

Terrific contact manager! Best yet, and its working just fine in WVGA.
No widescreen support - How often do you call somebody in landscape mode anyway...

lol, u missed the point.
how do u add some1 to your contact list? probably in widescreen mode cause u use the keyboard for typing
Yes and you can still use the app in widescreen, it just doesn't fill the whole screen, see?
nope not realy.
since the navbar on the right is gone and u have to close the keyboard all the time u want to select a different field

good app...but needs a time that the pics are sharp...
it reminds me to my old nokia n70...
a very good soft
Really different as other viewers .
works really fine on my acer x-960 .
I just sent an email to the developer to thanks him (and for a feature request too ).
I asked if possible to get moving the rotating menu directly by dragging the pictures in addition (not instead) of the area on the bottom of the screen . It will be more intuitive I think .
I send an email in french cause developer is french (like me so easier to explain the request ) . I'm waiting for his answer and will post it there .
