[RELEASE]HTC-BlueAngel 6.5 5.2.21176WWE2CX3.1 by sun_dream - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development

Seems sun_dream found yet another build, hes saying is pretty fast, i cant wait till he releases it, heres the link to his blog post
edit:heres a mirror thx to homam_france

He has sent me a beta, which I will be testing sometime between today and tomorrow. I will post some feedback on this. Stay tuned!

I hope the shell won't distort the OK and X Buttons anymore

Great, I just installed Xplode's R3. But i want to try it too.
egzthunder1 can i test it too?

i better get my BA fix up ASAP, the hardware buttons are not so responsive, it seems I am going to be busy flashing

Well,
Day 1 after flashing sun_dream's latest. So far, very fast and stable. Here are the main points (in my opinion anyways)
*Titanium seems a lot more responsive than before (I still don't like it though )
*The removal of windows and menus animations make the device respond faster overall.
*Unbelievably responsive kinetic scrolling.
*The honeycomb is actually usable now!!
*Settings were put back into categories (Personal, System, Communications).
*Battery life seems good, no major drainage.
*"OK and X" bug fixed and working fine!!
*Wifi nice and steady (still need to test PIE8 and Iris Browser).
*Transparent Top bar looks awfully nice! (too bad the programs replace it with the Black bar)
Things I did notice were as follows:
*The Wifi icon seems to be getting cut off from the bottom down. In other words, you can only see half of the icon.
*Power in the Power Settings doesn't show a percentage anymore.
I still need to do some further testing (e-mail setup, etc), but overall this rom is superb!
Will report back later.
Good Job Sun!!!!!

he sent me a beta too but got a big problem...my cradle ain't working anymore!

You can always use mtty and flash via SD.

hey Egz...I'd like to try that but I need my cradle so I need to go to a local phone store first thing tomorrow. I tried to fix the cradle myself but ended ruining it more so how is the 2117x build vs xplode's r3? 21169 x2 is so buggy so I flashed my BA back to wm6.1....

I havent' had a chance to test xplode's R3, but sun's is a very nice rom (so far anyways). I still have to test BT (headset and GPS).
One thing I did notice also, is that it seems that data transfer via AS is a lot faster than in previous builds... I guess M$ finally did something right
You can read the rest of my review in my previoius post. Good luck with your craddle situation

A little further testing...
*I purposely soft reset the device and it took approximately 1 minute to wake up completely and loading PointUI Home 2. So, it has a very fast wake up time!!
*I set up my g-mail account with no problem.
*I don't use SMS, so I cannot test that.
*Lock application seems a bit faster and more responsive than in older builds.
*PIE is a bit faster, but I still have other browsers that I like to use. I will test YouTube later (with both PIE and Iris).
Left to do...
*Test BT connection with headset, and GPS (Pharos BT receiver).
*Test IR/BT data transfer... (I have to find another BT and another IR enabled device to do this)
*Must finish going through the settings to ensure that they all work.
Will do more later...

ok seems like 2117x is a lot stable vs the older wm6.5 builds..waiting for your BT test result...

BT = Bluetooth?
if so, it's always a trouble-maker

i found strange issue with lockscreen, when you have locked your device and pressed power (entered standby) and recieve a call the answer lockscreen part does not show upon device resume, this bug does not happen when device is locked and not on standby - you may try the scenario yourself, i think that this bug is present in 21169 too (no matter sun or my roms)
tested various rom configurations, rebuilded about 20 times this rom, but this nasty bug stays

as of now I am very contented with wm6.1 v3.02 by sun_dream. I need to use my BA so I think I will just wait for a more stable build of wm6.5

Well, I tested (tried to pair really), my GPS receiver, but no dice... For some reason, the device either looses connection or just flat out does not recognize the pass-code. The BT headset, on the other hand hasn't given me too much trouble. It paired up nicely...
@xplode,
I'll give it a shot, but I don't normally use my BA as a phone (unless I am traveling)... which I will do on Monday, so I'll let you know then.
Still stable and no SR so far, except for one time when I was using wifi and my device went into power saving mode (turned off the screen) and afterwards, it would only have a black screen... had to SR there. I tried to recreate the situation on a few occasions with no luck... I guess it was a one time thing.
More reports to come..

well i had the same thing today, blackscreen - only fixed with hard reset
soft reset gets me back to the black screen

This appears to be a secret and private talks thread
Why are others kept in dark about the build 2117x? Once its disclosed that such a build exists, every one gets interested in trying it. If there is a reason for keeping it hidden from others for the time being, better use private messages. Just my two cents.

if we just talk about it, Microhell can't do something about it... now if we link to it here DIRECTLY, then xda-developers is in Trouble.

@April 1,
The reason is rather simple. If you release something that has bugs and things (something you would consider a pre-release), you will have an enormous amount of people asking the same questions over and over and over and over.... and over again (kinda like it is right now but worse).
It is a lot easier to develop something when the beta testers are finding all the minor things and not hitting themselves on the face with major bugs that might require hard resets and stuff.
We are not trying to keep anyone in the dark (that is why we are reviewing this build), but sun_dream will release it when he deems it is ready for public use. So far, he has not made mistakes (at least not many) in his ability to judge when a rom is suitable for release.
Just be patient... this should be out soon

ROM 4.0.0.21 Thoughts

I'm thinking about installing this new one. Has anyone done it? Have any thoughts yet? I'm kind of disappointed they removed AIM from there. Nice to have that in ROM. Saves some storage memory.
Anyway, if anyone has any reports on stability, etc, let's hear it.
Also, does this one come with another radio stack?
seems ok
seems ok for now. no radio in the distribution we got (only nbf ).
from my poin of view it's wiser without aim because i can stick up more content suited to my needs.
no stability problems (though only 8 hours )
Decebal
FYI
The hard reset after bootloader mode has been fixed if you want to count that, its a big plus in my book. 8)
It doesn't appear to be fixed, at least for me. Hard reset after bootlader is still exist.
I thought about upgrading to the new one, but everything's working just fine under 4.0.0.16, so maybe I'll stick with whats working for now.
Then I won't have to reinstall all my apps.

Why not just do a full backup, upgrade, and then just do a restore
Restoring from a backup after a ROM upgrade is not a good idea, because the older files will override the newer ones in-turn causing you all kinds of trouble.

Sorry to hear that mine is still holding strong with no hard setting, call me lucky I guess!
BTW anybody else not getting the hard reset after going onto the bootloader?
Hi All, i cooked up a .16 ROM in Jeff's Kitchen (thanks Jeff you are a legend).
Only 1 new problem with my device, it's the backlight....seems to turn off after the timeout even when i'm using my device.....strange. Never had this problem before.
I've also noticed that my problem with contacts not opening and having to sort reset the phone to resolve the problem is still evident. This has been with 4.00.01, .05 & now .16
Anyone got the above problems with .21????? I'm going to wait to upgrade, from what i can see the changes in the .?? releases are vendor apps etc.
Cheers
Steve
PS - i was brave and cooked up an exe install, it worked just fine.

Where can I gett xx.21. As far as I can see not through the ROM Kitchen

The problems I've been noticing since this upgrade are slowness, the occasional freezing, and loss of signal (more so than before). I might try re-installing to see if this helps at all.

After having no problems since Friday, I noticed the same issues happening to me last night...
The backlight turning off on me while I'm using it...a soft-reset solves it.
Other apps freezing resulting in me to do a soft reset.
I never had these problems w/.16, so I'm considering switching back; however, seeing Ronin's post:
I spent about 3 hours with a Microsoft Windows Mobile developer( from Microsoft) and he explained that our suspicions on Themes and hardware and SD resets are correct.
The versions of our T-Mobile and X2 WM 2003 were provided to T-Mobile in the early part of February. The OEMs worked on their versions to incorporate their unique "features" and there is a conflict in the way WM2003 Phone edition addresses memory calls (to ROM or SD cards)and WM2003 function.
The memory calls are typically made once a Theme switch is made. Remeber themes not only change Today's screen, but all other colors in the apps. Somehow, our WM PE overrides the memory allocation on the SD cards, renaming them and causing our erasures. This will sometimes happen when we get an SMS or have a custom ring or sound profile installed or after a soft reset.
So no solution for the issue other than " the lock" button. The default theme is a good alternative, but I suspect we will still have some more erasures related to this memory addressing issue.
Furthermore, it is unlikely that T-Mobile or other OEMs will fix the issue on their own volition...They are having many challenges with stable stacks and custom builds!!!

- I might just consider going back to v3.17 w/the ATT Radio stack
strange, i started developing problems with .21 yesturday too!
first the internet kept getting disconnected, i thought it was the GPS cozin it. but then at night the backlight started acting up. even when im using the device. a note on that tho, if i play movie clips, the light stayed on! it was a 12 minute clip, it stayed on the whole time, once it was over, light turned off.
also, i notice the gprs internet is extremly slower than b4
i must say, the ONLY thing i like about 2003 is the media player, it has better video rendering, i wish they made it installble on 2002
nothin wrong with that version. heh

I'm with you on the media player AND the slow GPRS...it's r-e-a-l slow. I wasn't sure if it was worth mentioning but your account of it confirms it for me.
great!
I updated to 4.0021. T-Mobile device bought in USA. I live in Europe.
Now I have band switcher, good GPRS connection (no breaks), auto-response.
One problem: some web page said me "you cannot open this page because your browser does not use cookies. please...." blablabla
?
I see this meeasge first time, previously PIE did it (shown) ok. I checked settings of PIE, cookies are running. Any ideas?
You know what, I've just done some connection tests at www.texan.net/speed.htm and I'm currently getting the following connection rates:
81.5kbps, 104kbps, 81.6kbps
I get these readings by going to that URL, and in a 10 minute period I would run a test twice at the beginning, then twice again on the 5th minute, and two more times on the 10th minute, using the 2nd reading each time (in order to get the reading with a cleared cache).
- with these speeds (I'm used to similar readings on my other WM2k3 PPCs and connecting via Sprint's CF2031) pages come up so quick, but on my T-Mobile MDA, running WM2k3 v4.00.21, w/RS6.24, plus my new 64MB onboard RAM from PPCTechs.com and 3 bars on the meter, pages are rendering much s-l-o-w-e-r than what they should.
Going back to either 4.00.16 or even 2k2 is starting to look even better right about now.
Since I upgraded to .21 I do not receive all my calls and do not getting some SMS messages.
I'm testing it until friday and if it keeps this way i'm going back this weekend to .16 which was very very stable and I liked very much.

Xperia X1i freezes a lot after R3a update

I had some occasionally but before I updated, but I guess this is normal for windowsmobile (its my first ppc).
Yesterday I updated my Xperia with the SEUS (Its an unlocked phone so the update came directly from SE and not for example from vodafone).
Since then my Xperia froze a lot. Today I had to remove the battery and reboot for at least 5 times. It always happens on the today screen when I hit the start button. The start menu appears and then the phone just freezes. The backlight doesnt dim or turn off after a while, and the powerbutton also doesnt respond and the only thing I can do at this point is removing the battery or soft resetting. This often already happens shortly after booting.
I didnt install a lot of apps after the update, but I´ll list the here anyway, maby it will help you help me
-Nitrogen
-Syncmate driver
-G-Alarm
-XnView Pocket
-Taskfacade 4
Now I really dont know what to do. Id flash a custom rom since I know it optimizes some things, but Im really new to this and dont even know how to flash a crom or what roms can/should, cant/shouldnt be flashed on my X1.
I hope youre able to help me
this the official R3A?

I would guess so since it came from SE through SEUS as the TS states.
Are you sure you're on R3AA? I thought this wasn't available on SEUS yet...
Check settings -> system -> device information -> customer information.
I flashed the generic UK R3AA (obtained from XDA-Devs here) at the weekend and so far I'm really impressed. R2AA was a bit slow at times, and froze alot. It never felt comfortable, if you know what I mean.
Early experiences with R3AA for me are really good. Phone feels much slicker, landscape switching is fantastically quick, menus seem to work more quickly (in 'settings', for example), windows folder opens in explorer much more quickly. Basically the whole thing feels better.
I know this is purely subjective, and I know many have said not to bother with R3AA which has ended up as little more than a maintenance upgrade, but I do think it was definitely worth it...for me at least.
Yeah, its the official R3A I installed it through SEUS (Sony Ericson Update Service)
Im really sorry for doubble posting, but its 11 pm here and I need my phone or Ill oversleep tomorrow >.< (No I dont have an alarm clock atm)
The phone freezes literally every time now when I hit the start button, except when Im fast enough and press it right after booting. Its totally useless like this
Already tried a hardreset (pressed both softkkeys and put the styls in the softreset hole) but it didnt reset the phone. What else can I do?

It may be a bad backup or certain application which causes that, IMO.
I had such experiences, that a certain app was slowing down the phone horribly.
I managed to do a hard reset now, first I pressed the wrong key combo (duh´)
So now my Xperia is working again. Its strange that it shows me Sodtwareversion: R3AA007 now, since I had something with R2A before the update (or is that normal?)
Anyways Ill now backup my stockrom if I find the time and flash a custom rom (The video tutorials are awesome)
I think this thread can now be locked. Thanks to everybody who tried to help me
I did find R3AA rom alittle unforgiving when it comes to software conflict as compared to R2AA.
I have PointUI, and apparently the applet I build will causes the R3AA to hang, when it was working fine on R2AA (albeit alittle unstable at times, but not as bad as R3AA). When I patched my applet to ensure it freeds up a certain chunk of memory instead of holding it for next processing, the applet works brilliantly on R3AA again, and even more stable than before.
So I suggest that you install your apps one by one and see which one hung on you.
Do you have the latest Version of G-Alarm? Please check the developer's board at http://forum.ageye.de/ for this problem. This happened often.

The new ROM

I am about to download and install the new .48 ROM, but what excatly did they fix?
Are people sending and recieving all sms'es and calls now?
Are the buggy volume control fixed?
What about the big waiting time when launching the messenger app with people who have a long sms-history?
As far as i am aware absolutely no issues whatsoever have been "fixed".
This "new" ROM is simply the latest version being shipped in worldwide devices.
The weekly calendar issue seems to be fixed.

I don't know what has been fixed and I can't comment on the problems you listed since I've never experienced them but I can tell you what works better for me:
1) the keyboard is much more accurate. I was reasonably happy with the keyboard on the last ROM but this one is much easier to use.
2) the proximity sensor now works every time I make or receive a call. This was a bit hit or miss for me with the last ROM and would fail more often than it worked.
3) Battery life seems much better. Again, I was pretty happy with this on the last ROM but it just seems to last a lot longer now. I had network issues today (nothing to do with the phone, it must have been a problem with 3 in London today because my 3G dongle was down as well) and was expecting my battery to die relatively quickly. However, despite this and the fact that I was playing with the phone more today (because of the new ROM) my battery is holding about 20% more than I would expect it to hold at this point in the day. I haven't bothered with the patch to turn off the data connection either so my phone should be doing more now.
I can't comment on much more. I experienced the new bug with the inbox and SenseUI but that was dealt with by locking the phone. I also had some trouble connecting to my Exchange server but that was dealt with with a couple of soft resets. Everything is generally going quite well.

I have installed the new 1.48 rom today.
and I don't think they fixed anything. I still got a red blob on my pictures. And I still wait up to 45 seconds for replying sms. When the sms-history is long.!!!
I've installed it today as well (dutch version). A pity that you 've to reinstall all apps. No prob for me, as I'm still try to explore the phone.
Anyway connecting, installing etc everything was flawless, even the link with Exchange.
hmm,.. well,.. no issues so far
I've flashed the .48 over my belgian HD2 yesterday using the goldcard approach, I've got to say that I've yet to see any real improvement or bugfixes,...
The lockscreen acted up for a while but then mended itself automagicly and has been a good boy since.
Opera seems more responsive but that could very well be just me fooling myself.
Same goes for the keyboard, I caught myself noting 'hey, this seems a bit more sturdy than before'. This can all be attributed to perception, though
It works and the itch to be up to date has been scratched.. all in all I'd recommend it.
where do i get this rom, offical site please
Is this an official ROM?
Where can this be downloaded? How do you flash it?
Get the ROM from links in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592954

Hi
Can anyone tell me if they have kept all the software that was on 1.43, for example, ms office.
If someone can tell us what they have removed or added, that would be great.

I installed 1.48 last night and I think its night and day better than then old 1.43 rom.
Screen is less sensitive (which is good) because it makes the keyboard easier to use, less multiple key hits etc.. so you can actually type more accurately. I still get the odd moment where they keyboard appears to spaz out, but I think this is still down to accidentally breathing on the screen or looking at it in a funny way.. man that screen is so sensitive sometimes..
I also found that rotating and typing with both thumbs in landscape mode made for a very compelling typing experience because the keys are slightly larger and further apart which makes hitting multiple keys at the same time even harder to do.
Once you have used the device for a day or so (to build up its dictionary of words that you use alot) its becomes really very quick to rattle off very long texts.
Its still not quite perfect, but its a huge improvement over the previous rom.

T-Mobile Releasing 2nd ROM Update for HD2

I was on the phone with T-Mobile Support (611), regarding my HD2 and the issues that I am still having with this device. The rep. stated that T-Mobile is aware of the issues on the phone and that the 1st ROM update did not resolve them all and caused some new ones.
She stated specifically this new update would resolve the issue of the device hanging after you try to wake up the phone...also, the "unreliable data connection" issue is still prevalent (I still have this problem - and I have tried everything I can think of or read about). She stated that there are other fixes that they are working on to resolve with this new update.
I could not get a solid time frame, but she stated that it should be pretty quick, given that they issued the first one within a short time frame after the HD2 release.
Now, I'm not sure if this means an upgrade from 6.5 to 6.5.3, but I wouldn't count on it. I just hope it is released soon. This device is so nice and so awful at the same time. Constantly I experience little nagging issues that make using this device such a hassle.
Have you tried just flashing it to one of these custom ROMs?
No I have not yet tried the custom ROM yet on the HD2. I like the way the T-Mobile ROM are, I just am getting fed up with the "unreliable data connection" BS. Also, the phone (since the ROM update) has been running slow and I don't think that is acceptable with the 1GHz snapdragon on this device. My only other issue is that the speaker phone stops working because T-Mobile added some stupid software to the device. If you dial 611, the software pops up and tries to solve your problem via webpage and stops the speaker phone from working till you restart the device.
While that is a short list of issues, they are major issues in using the device. But I think i will wait till this 2nd update comes out...if it does not resolve my issues, custom ROM here I come!
I belive flashing NRG will solve your issues It did mine.
Which issue did it solve? The data connection issue?
Data and freezing as well not to mention the phone just flies now. flashing a new radio fixed reception issue
well I will give it a try and see if it resolves my issues as well. I figure we have about a month or so before T-mobile releases the 2nd update. I know I will not be able to last that long with these issues. It is just a pain in the a-- to flash ROMs every day...I'm not into doing it all the time. I would like to find a good stable ROM and run with it. It just takes too much time flashing and reinstalling all those programs and changing the settings to where I like them all (too much work).
Like I said it is a shame, i really like this device on paper, but in the real world is just has some serious issues. I thought i would get a year or two out of this device when i bought it, now I am already looking to swap this puppy out. I'm looking to see what is coming down the pipeline. I refuse to go with WP7 (feels like the step backwards with it limitations as compared to WM6.5 - and i don't want a device that clones the iPhone of 4 years ago)
Anyone other suggestion on custom ROMs?
NRG 21911 is very solid and you don't have to flash everyday it has xda uc and pim backup witch will back up and reinstall all your software I did it yesterday in about 20 min. I refrain from flashing during the week. the the first time it will take about an hour just read all you can on it. 670megs free space on device 13gigs on sd and 300 megs of free RAM
I'm downloading the 23121 Cookie Dinik Glass version right now...I'll let you know how it works on my device. thanks for pointing me in this direction, appreciate it!
tmobile rep told me the same thing after I had a warranty exchange, she said to expect the update soon as there are alot of people experiencing problems with the current software. Although to be honest after running Android on my HD2 I dont think I ever want to use winmo again.
are you getting everything to work with Android? i did not think they have a fully functional Android ROM for the HD2 yet
They're all the same...
My biggest complaint is the bad data connection. Paying too much money for crappy connection. I can't even get connection in my lower level of my house. I think every carrier and cell phones all have their own problems. My two co-workers, one with Droid and the other iPhone have similar problems. Droid keeps freezing 2 warranty phone exchanges so far and iPhone looses connection frequently. iPhone guy wishes his would freeze so he could get a replacement. So it's not just me.
Help me please

tmobile rep told me the same thing after I had a warranty exchange, she said to expect the update soon as there are alot of people experiencing problems with the current software. Although to be honest after running Android on my HD2 I dont think I ever want to use winmo again.

i read on pocetnow that android is being worked on on xda. seen a couple of post too, but there is always some component not really working. is there an official android post where all the kinks are worked out? i would like to switch if thats the case. thanks.
Wow is all I can say about that NRG ROM....it is great! does everything I have been looking for, no data connection issues since last night (I'll report back on this issue as time goes by). It's fast and very stable (so far, but hell I'm impressed), and I did not even use most stable version the 21911.
The UI is great, I love the three pages of app slot, everything is within one or two finger stokes this way. It also gets rid of the apps that I don't want (ie TelNav, etc...) but keeps most of the apps that I do want...I can always install cabs for the programs I want from the official ROM. Plus it has cooked into it all those sweet tweaks and settings. Great work, I'm not even waiting for T-mobile to release the 2nd update any longer.
Thanks gtrplr71 again for suggesting this custom ROM, it's so nice, I don’t even think I will be trying out any other ROMs.
I would not get hopes up of a 6.5.3 upgrade. Could you imagine the Technical support nightmare if they had to troubleshoot 2 different OS versions?
This is one reason I think Android and Linux will really take off in the future.

There's a HD2 Android section in the original HD2 area (euro hd2 section).... but it is a work in progress. There are still a lot of issues and kinks. It will be a while before it works as well as a native android phone. But the progress they've made is unbelievable. It's great having both winmo and android on my phone.

your welcome don't forget to make a backup with pim backup to your sd card and use xda uc once you get things settled. Have fun!
how does the xda uc work? i could not figure that out, when I ran the app it stated that i did not have that file on my storage card...but it appeared there somehow.
Also, the incall record does not seem to work at all. when i lauch it (after I connect or before I connect a call) all I get is a blank lined page (note pad page).
And, is there a list of the added and removed apps somewhere? I could not find it in the ROM thread.
As for the 6.5.3 upgrade from T-Mobile, i don't think it will happen either and right now, after trying the NRG ROM...I don't care. I'm not even going to try the T-mobile 2nd ROM upgrade. Now with Android comes along on the HD2 (fully functional) then i will surely set up a dual boot situation on my HD2. That is like the best of both world.
(xda uc)-you wont notice anything different It will run and monitor the phone for new settings when you decide to flash a new build it will auto run and import settings and apps.

[Q] Query for acer900 re Jazzman's Rom 1.3

Acer900
Don't know if you're still even active in these forums but just wanted to say a huge thank-you for your ROM and as I can't add a message in the developers forums yet, I wanted to add my thanks here!
It is the only custom rom I can currently DL for the S200 but it's absolutely amazing and its like being given a whole new phone to play with. Huge respect for you and your work and I hope you might not be entirely ready to give up on the phone just yet...
I do have one problem however. I flashed your rom from a "virgin" 3.003c firmware and enabled EZinput for full landscape mode. So far so good. everything worked until I went in to the camera - half screen viewfinder displayed, no icons at screen edge and (after 30-40 seconds) the display locked and no hard or soft keys were able to get me out of camera mode. I couldn't even get it to power off, I had to pull the battery and restart. I read in the developers forum that the camera is a source of problems and at one point brainmaster had posted a cab file to reinstall the acer default camera so I installed it and restarted the phone but when I went into the camera again, the exact same thing happened.
Other posts seem to suggest it may be an HTC keyboard/camera conflict but presumably many folk on custom roms got that camera to work to some degree.
Any suggestions you can offer? I don't need it to work perfectly. I don't take that many photos on the phone but I do use it occassionally and I can't use this as a daily rom if locks up every time I accidentally start the camera.
Thanks again. Really appreciate all of the hard work you've put in and this rom does really make an old device sing very sweetly once again.....

First,
I'm glad that the rom is working for you, Thanks!
second,
I'm no longer actively building after my PC's Hd mysteriously crashed and I lost everything before that I was in the process of upgrading the rom to v.1.3.5
and trying to find a solution to the problem you're experiencing now.
It has nothing to do with the keyboard/camera relationship.
The Full Rotating phone canvas I used was developed for HD2 leo, not acerS200
meaning, it uses components native to the HD2 leo in this case, it's camera,video,full screen viewer etc... our problem w/S200 is that the camera,video,picture viewer etc.. being acer components,not HTC Leo's,
function using their own specs,dimensions, and most importantly, it's own resolutions and rotation based on those size resolutions.
I was experimenting with the phone canvas to see if there was a way to separate our acer camera,vid., but lost my HD... as a matter of fact,
I'm using a V.1.3.5 beta in my phone now that has parts of different phone canvas versions i.e. Raphael,Laurentius, Parts of caller ID fixes from laurentius too. But my testing was cut short and I haven't the time or desire to start all over again, sorry
So to finally answer your question, You must " uncheck" "EZinput" under G sensor settings for the camera and video to function properly.
Maybe one day I'll replace my PC's HD and try to cook again but I'm thinking
that it may be easier to buy an "acer stream"('cause I like acer) and see what
that's like.
Thanks
Thanks for the reply.
I really appreciate all the effort that went in to making something as good as this but appreciate that sometimes with technology we all just need to "move on".
I'll look forward to seeing your name (and efforts) pop up elsewhere in the forums.
Cheers.
