I would love to help testing.
Required knowledge is no problem...
I use a Touch HD with Dutty V2 EXTREME ROM.
I hope, I can help!
Best regards!

I can also test, i got a Touch HD, with dutty 1.9, and one with the o2 Stock (OEM) Rom.
I have no problems with Registry editing, File editing,Manila Files , or Windows files/Filesystem.
The Required knowledges are no problem for me.
I hope I can help you.

Hope i can be of any help.
Cheers.

Looking forward to have that on my Raphael.
Cheers.

I'll help you

Best regards
Zamorra

I would help to find Bugs
Touch Pro 5.05.407.1 GER

Count me in.

yes botb app count me in

Hey i want to be a tester.
My Device: Touch HD
My Rom and others: look into my signature, its the original german rom from htc
Skills: I know the registry and can handle with it. Im also a beginning software developer for winmo (c# not vb ). If i will find a bug i would describe it so exactly how i can. File System etc. and errors i can interpretate and there isn't a problem.
A question:
Is it possible that you can change the name or publish an extra version like HD TF3D Config, hmm thats not sooooo good, or maybe just TF3D Config or what else. It's just attractions.
So i would spend my time for testing your software and in the opposite you will test maybe some programs/games from me in the future, if you want.

I know, the name is a problem. When I released the first version of my tool, only the Touch Diamond allready existed. Now there a lot of different devices (Touch Pro, Touch HD, etc.).
But on the other hand, the name of the tool is known from everyone. More than 200.000 to 300.000 users are still using my tool. If I rename my tool, noone knows that it is the same application ;-) I think the name of my tool is not the main feature of my tool ;-) So it doesn't matter how it is called.

By the way: A short comment to the video is welcome (about the new gui. if you like it or not).

i can also test it on my touch hd with on different roms. new and older manila.

I'll like to join the beta test team as well.
Device: Diamond Rom: Dutty Diam V4
I have no problems editing registry, locating manila files and minor editing them. I also have good knowledge of various graphics editing softwares.

if you still need a beta tester for the HD I will be glad to help you dude
I'm using the dutty rom v1.9 and I will flash this night with the lastest V2
And BTW, the new GUI is really awesome !!!! Nice job
edit : I'm working in a helpdesk (for airbus, as well), my skills are computer science technician since 15 years now, I'm not really good at programming (because I don't like it), my skills are network analysis, etc...
I've already helped some guys here, as beta tester, like Fingerkeyboard, WVD, the new MWC3 from Marshall that is coming and others... I've also been beta tetser for some ROM cookers and on my free time, I'm also a designer

For all .NET CF developers under you:
If you are interested in those new Touch Controls I developed: They will be available in ca. 1 week under: http://www.mirabyte.com/en/products/windows-mobile.html

1. The new gui is interessting but i would tell you more if im a tester
2. The fact that you will share your Touch Controls is very cool, but will it costs something? I think a bit is ok but not so much. I believe the whole high costs of software-developing "helpers" weaken the quality of software of the "new generation" of touch and so on.

First I developed those Controls just for my tool, but then I saw that those controls will give developers new possibilties to create new cool finger-frindly application for windows mobile, because there are still just a few apps which are finger-frindly. The price for the controls stands on the website, and I think the price is fair. Because developers will get updates (incl. new controls), bugfixes and support by e-mail and mirabyte-forum. This is very important for developers.

Ok i dont discuss when i dont know the product.
I will wait for the demo and then i will look whether i do need it or not.
But a question, is it very difficult to develop the screenslide effect? (i mean if key down -> touch move -> list will move in this direction)

developers will get updates (incl. new controls)

thanks for the skin, finally a reason for me to upgrade from .14.

Hi Nottingham,
I know that your previous skins* on v0.14 work perfect.
I am gonna test it right now and give you feedback in a few days,
Congratulations for that awesome work,
Thanks
(*) diamond skin : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412048
and beautiful Black one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431196
ps: your link to PocketCM points out the v0.14, but your wonderful skins are made for PCMK v0.23 here : http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboardnew.php

hi,
After more than 24h of test I can say that your skins work very well !
The Topaz is really nice : to me it's the best skin ever for PCMK.23
So, it's great on my Diamond and in my opinion you should post it at PocketCM in "Get Skins"
Keep up good work like that,

Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad that you like it.
I've been away for the weekend so I haven't been able to read it up until now. And I've fixed the link. Thank you!

hmm is there a colon character anywhere for int. english?
:
need this for web addresses. thanks

Sorry about that. ".," was supposed to turn into ":;" when activating "shift/caps" but I seem to have forgot about int in the international & french layout.
The issue is fixed and the downloads have been updated. Just download the new file and replace the old one. You might have to unload it and clear the "_cache" for it to change.
Sorry about that, and thank you for making me aware of it.

yeah I am seeing it now, thanks for the fix.

is there any way to get a german layout for PCM 0.23? I tried to edit the default layout but it does not work that good as I aspected it to do... Would be great if you may help!

Hi Nottingham,
I'm very sorry your skins are discontinued but is there still a way to download them?
I'm using the Black Diamond skin daily with PocketCM Keyboard 0.14, but never had the chance to try your 0.23 skins
Plus, it was playing very nicely with the Dark Diamond skin I made for PocketCM.
Cheers,
Hope to see you again.
Alex.

Sorry, lost all backups awhile ago. Now I'm exclusively on mac and text edit on os x don't save *.txt's in the same matter as notepad/wordpad on windows does. Which translates into "corrupted" files on the handset.
I've realized it's stupid to have a winmo phone without having a pc, so I won't be modding or tweaking anymore (and I doubt my next handset will be a smartphone).
It was just a small spare time hobby, so if I can't use simple tools in a simple matter, it's not worth the trouble to me.
Your PocketCM skin looks really nice, so I'm sure that you can create something much better than what I've done.
Good luck, and thank you.

[APP] Q-Mobile Midomi 1.6.57 (BEATS Shazam MusicID)

Hi, this is the famous Samsung Midomi music identification application for the Windows Mobile devices! You're probably wondering why I've re?!? posted this. Then again, those of you who know me know I don't just repackage and repost things. And you're right, I didn't.
I loved the one I found posted by Ikkari but it had two problems. The first was the fact that the default internet connection was via WAP, for which Ikkari posted a registry solution to and shiranmotha repackaged and posted. So credit to both of these people for providing the packages they did.
Unfortunately that left one annoying (and ultimately grating) issue for someone like myself. The menu didn't work. In fact if you accidentally clicked it, the whole program froze. Well, not anymore. As a sidenote, I also made this install under program files (either on the device or the storage card as you so choose) because I personally don't think something like this belongs in the \Windows directory And even though the menu is fully functional and you can choose ANY connection you desire I did default it to use the device's Internet (GSM/CDMA) connection.
Enjoy!
Don't forget, if you enjoy my work, please
!
Midomi 1.6.57 on RapidShare
Midomi 1.6.57 on MegaUpload
Midomi 1.6.57 on FileSend
P.S. Please be aware that at the time of this posting this has only been tested on an HTC Rhodium based device (WVGA). It likely works on many others, if you find it works on yours please be kind enough to mention it so others will know.
P.P.S. Please feel free to propagate this file to other free download sites and post the URL in this thread. Cheers!

does it works using a Wifi connection?
And on a VGA screen?
EDIT:
Tested!!
It works perfect!

Quentin
You are a legend, looking forward to checking out the menu of this. I though the development of this was forgotten once it was made to work.
The app itself is golden on a TP2, i tested a previous version with a success rate of 10 out of 11 (not bad!).
I have tried it in several stores to id a song playing and it worked every time - awesome and real handy...!
Be mindfull of the additional lyric look-up as this can kick your data use in the pants real fast. I ran a test on lyrics for a Bowie song and checked my provider's stats, i was surprised to see a use of over 3mb....
But for pure song ID it is a star!
Now all we need ported is Samsungs 3d audio processor app, this is apparently better than SRS WOW HD (which is great, but sadly does not work on a TP2 - makes your phone go into fatal standby....)
Cheers

Thank you
using diamond (CDMA) on sprint. So far so good. Thanks much. (that non-functional menu button drove me nuts to no end). thank you

Great!! Downloading now to test ASAP!!!

Works great so far... Thanks & Great job!

After trying Midomi and comparing it with MusicID, Midomi definitely feels more accurate and faster. I haven't tried the sing search feature yet, but it looks very nifty.

Please, please, please!!!
Is there a QVGA version of this...????

Thank you very much for this corrected version... works perfectly on ma german X1 (WVGA)...
Chris
Edit: Why didn't you post this under "Development and Hacking"? I think that topic would fit better =)

Anyone try this out on a Titan yet? I know a couple Titan users having issues with this app.
P.S. Works GREAT on my i910 Omnia!!!!!

Thanks your the best

Perfect!
Thanks!
For WM6.5 users, here some PNG for StartMenu icons:

I've successfully installed it but haven't yet played around with it much on my Wizard (QVGA). Visually its working perfectly. Have to test it with a couple songs to see how it compares to MusicID.
Thank you very much =)

Good: Visually, everything fits and looks great.
Bad: Does not recognize anything. Set to internet connection, I can see the data arrows (showing that it is connecting) but the end result is no songs found. Why? Beats me...

I would like to know if there is a registry edit that can make it open the default htc youtube application on the phone also? That would be perfect instead of going through internet explorer.

Swype Keyboard

Chaps,
Have searched in the Hermes forum but no joy. There is a thread in the Leo forums but it doesn't tell me what I am looking for.
Has anyone successfully used this keyboard on a Hermes? If yes how did you get it to work?
I simply get a blank screen when I tap into it.
Your comments appreciated.
Thanks

Is it WM6.5 only?
Mike

Mike,
I don't know is the short answer. I am using WM6.1 and simply assumed that this would work in a 6.xx rom.
I will hop onto their website to see if there is any substance in your theory. Would be surprised if there is as they would be doing themselves out of a significant cut of the market. After all 6.5 only got officially released a few weeks ago!
Thanks for the input though.
Anybody else?
WB
PS: Hmm, you might be right Mike. Their forum seems to suggest that it only works in 6.5. Great keyboard but having to load up 6.5 to run it is not an attractive option.
Pretty loath to destabilise my rock solid stable device. Will have to look for an alternative that is similar in concept.
WB

I've got it working no problems on mine. I'm running CRC's 13.4, which is a WM6.1 rom. I am using the QVGA cab from here.
It seems totally stable, and is by far the best keyboard I have come across.

Jez,
Thanks a bunch. I managed to find that thread about an hour ago but appreciate the input.
The qvga version works like a charm! Can't believe how quick one can be using this.
Word of warning; will only install onto main memory so make sure you have some space to do so.
Cheers
WB

Now you've got that solved, I think I'll try it as well
Mike

Let us know what you think. I love it as you can use it either as a traditional tap keyboard, a slider or both!
Only small issue for me is I make mistakes when I am tired as I can't always remember where the letters are on the querty keyboard as I do the slide (lol).
This, even though I have been using querty for donkey years
Enjoy.
WB

The link for the cab has gone
It does look a very good app and I hope they bring it out soon so I can try it.

Look for an app called Shape writer...

What the HD2 really lacks

About a month ago I upgraded from my old trusty and excellent HTC HD to the new HD2.
After a few tweaks, haks and fixes and some downloads, I was extremely happy of my HD , in fact the only real improvement in the HD2 to me seems to be the much faster CPU (which of course is not a little thing)
However there are a couple of major gripes (or just lack of aternative options) on the HD2 that I find particularly unnerving, prominent among which is the excruciatingly bad Kboard.
It's even worse than the one I've got on my HTC Hero which has a far smaller screen.
On the HD I had installed "FingrKboard" which I found simply excellent; is'nt there something similar that would work on the HD2?
Or maybe do you think that the same .cab file that worked on the HD's wm 6.1 will also work on the HD2 wm 6.5?
Second major problem with the HD2 is that I still have'nt been able to find a (good and possibly free) registry editor for it.
I have read about some very interested tweaks for the HD2 in the threads of the forum, but they all require the use of a registry editor, which one would you suggest?
And again: would I be able to install and use one of those I had on the wm 6.1 of my old HD(1) ?
And last (and probably least too): would "Gyrator" ,be installable and working on the HD2 as it did on the HD1?
No eh?
And do you know of another app that would make the screen turn from portrait to landscape with all apps?
Even if you could point to the solution to just one of my conflicts with the HD2 , you would have accomplished your Xmas good deed by making very happy a poor afflicted geek.
This is the way you might earn your place in heaven, you know ?

FingerKeyboard worked on WM6.5 on the HD1 and works on the HD2. I found it to be superior to the standard HTC keyboard.
There is also a cab file that reduces the sensitivity of the screen on the HD2. This is supposed to make typing a bit easier although I have not personally tried it.
For registry editing, I use PHM RegEdit. It's a free program.

I use Resco Explorer and once you've downloaded that (for free), download the registry editor add-in (both cabs on the Resco site)

Resco Explorer will eventuall need a key to fully register the program. I do however second Resco if you can buy it.

The registry editor stays unlocked though. I actually never use the Explorer part but you're right, that gets locked after a few days so you need to purchase it (if you want to).

Try Swype as a keyboard. I found it on this site and haven't looked back! It has an amazing input method and is not as over-sensitive as the native HTC keyboard. Check it out....

I second PHM RegEdit.
Simple, easy to use and free.

Thanx fellas.
I had both PHM regedit and fingerkeyboard because I had downloaded and installed them on my old HD(1) and Samsung Omnia i900 ( of which I got rid long ago) , now I have installed them on the HD2 and they work great.
I wonder which other win 6.1 apps will work on the big screen and win 6.5 of the HD2.
Dutty (one of my heroes) for exemple had to modify Cyberon voice dialer to get it to work on the HD2 because as it was the standard version would'nt play together with the HD2., so not all HD apps would be usable on the HD2.
I wonder how Gyrator would behave in the new environment.
Oh, and thanks very much for the link too, very interesting and useful.
I hope I'll be soon able of being of some help too.

BSB tweaks for screen rotation mate

Thanx Carlos, I have already installed the awesome BB Tweaks and now I have also cheked the "show standard windows setting" box, but I still can't find the menu you uploaded with the screen turning option.
Where is it hidden?
Is there any particular option I should enable?
I have enabled nearly all of them anyway but hat option still eludes me.

Hi there..
Dont mean to flame or anything like that.
But the title of the thread suggests that you arnt happy with the device.
So we start reading your post.
But its all just software features you lack or want to change.
And that does not really imply the hardware exclusive to the HD2.

@ Johncmolineaux
Thank you mate, I looked for it for 2 days, maybe I should wear my glasses more often.
@ Enonoid
I'm sorry if from my title you or anybody else got the impression that I was'nt happy with the HD2: I bloody love it man!
I just wished to find a few apps, progs and tweaks to which I got used with my old HD1 (which I loved too).
I also have an HTC Hero and a Nokia N97 ,which after Nokia changed camera lens, camera cover, GPS chip & software, installed ROM 2.0, optimized memory, and gave me for free one year subscription to the latest OVI maps for Europe, has become a great phone too; but the HD2 is my fav hands down, even though as an OS per se I like Andrid more than WM 6.5 (mainly because of the marketplace and the awsome free apps available).
One must be a brainwashed Apple fanboy not to like like the HD2.

Gyrator works fine on the HD2

Swype is the next generation keyboard, amazing. I am running it on the HTC Touch HD, although it will run much better on a capacitive screen, more sensetive the screen the better it will work.

Yes, Swipe rocks,but after BB tweaks adjusted the screen sensitivity of the standard kwerty, and the FingerKboard, they have become absolutely excellent too.
The only problem is that I can't put any of those in ladscape position.
I have tried to reinstall Gyrator but it does not seem to work on the HD2 it seems made for devices with styluses and resistive screens.
Did anyone find a way to type messages, notes, etc. in landscape?
