Hi Guys, I bought the Universal for quite some time now, and would like to do more advanced stuff with it. but I am kind of new to Rom flashing; I tried to find the threads to read, but there are just too much information on this web Forum(which is great thanks guys), and I can't seem to find the right Keyword to search, which Thread would you guys recommend me to read? or any main keyword I should search for ?
Thanks and have a very nice day guys.

Search the ROM threads...

It's all very personal, fraid you're just gonna have to read up and find which is the best for you.
Hi,
I currently have an Blue Angel, but this will apply to you as well:
If your Universal is working fine, DON'T START FLASHING IMAGES!
The truth is that you MAY end up with a brick.
If you want to do "more advanced" things, why not look at all the Freeware applications you can use? Today, i.e., I got my fingers onto a Universal and tested it with my SD-Card which contains Dosbox and Windows 3.0.
You know what? It ROCKS!!! VGA is absolutly cool and speed is fine.
Think of all the DOS-Games you could run.
This is just one suggestion, but really: don't change a running system.
You read about it and it will seem simple. But if something goes wrong, you will regret it for sure.
Cheers,
vma

Start with the wiki - the best way to prevent yourself from bricking your Uni. You should then read the forums - the perfect way to prevent yourself suffering what others have already suffered.....

thanks for the advice vma, but the thing is, my Univeral is a bit too slow when it run what it comes with originally, so I think I will find a way to back up the ROM and give it a try...
Man I reply so late, because I was choked when drinking water, so the water was splited on to the keyboard, then like space bar and some other keys doesn't work, and to make the matter worst.... I try to dry it with a hair dryer, but I was watching TV.... and in 1 min it melted my keys ... so certain keys are now "forever stuck" so I am currently using a mini keyboard I had... will get anoter standard keyboard soon, this mini keyboard is making me very tried
I hope you are referring to a regular PC keyboard and not to the keyboard of your Universal!!!
Have you tried the Registry-hack's and the section on how to optimize your Universal for speed?

Yikes! Although knowing flea-bay, it'd still sell!!
Check it out (with video):
http://www.modaco.com/content/forum/266537/View-Topic/
Thanks to those who made this possible (primarily by providing USBTool, which I have actually edited to fix the typos)
P
Excellent job!
Yes indeed great job! With this video every newbie can do it
That's the hope
P
Just great!!! Thanks a lot!
BTW: Do you think that I might face problems installing it on a (future) German version of the Shift?
No, you should have no problems.
P
What use is the phone pad cab file?
Inputting text in an easy predictive manner without sliding out the keyboard.
More SHIFTpacks to follow.
P
Can you upload your fixed usbtool.exe? I'm happy with my setup now but would like to lose the typo!
Edit - Don't worry, just decompiled it and did it myself...
This is really, really great! I am not that experienced, but now I am confident enough to do the things that have to be done.
But I am still waiting for my device.
Thanks a lot!

Pantaloonie,
Would you be so kind to upload your recompiled version of USBTools.exe without the typo pls. Thx.

He wasn't first.... You were and without you we wouldn't be looking at lovely screens using 3D icons and iLauncher on our Shifts....
Well done to you both, but first is still first... Better solutions / easier solutions often come out later...

You can buy the Shift at Coolblue (umpcshop.be). They have a shop in Antwerp where you can play with the Shift before you buy it. They have them on stock right now (see their website).

First off, THANK YOU PAUL and EVERYONE who helped make this possible!!!
secondly i noticed after doing this hack that you can actually click on the phone icon and do everything except actually make a call. Do you guys think we can replace a file to enable the calling or we have to wait until we can actually make a custom ROM?
Thanks again and keep up the GOOD WORK!!
Which phone icon are you referring to?

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...

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.

I'm all good with competition. I was really just doing it for myself, but I saw a few threads like this one and thought others might enjoy it too. If you like it, help me make it better. If you like something else, that's cool too, post a link for others.

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 !

Hi all, I'm due to start a new training regime and decided that a bit of a new toy will help keep me motivated!
I've seen an application for iphone that tells you your time, distance and speed whilst you're running. Does anyone know of a similar bit of software for the touch HD?
Thanks in advance,
Martin
Take a look here.
iRun
But I think it's not free
NoniGPSPlot - freeware and can be uploaded to google earth etc
Thanks all, will gice the g-watch a go tomorrow and go from there.
Cheers,
Martin
www.sportsdo.net works well, and although it's not free the demo version works well enough.
...i vote gwatch - very easy to move the track to google earth...
very very nice sports app with so many functions...

Thank you..nice one, but i have bought runGPS(every penny worth) I will try yours also.
pefect tool is Trackr realtime maps, people can follow you realtime, and al tracks can be reviewed again. measures disctance speed ec.
Cheers for the feedback all. I've been mostly using GWatch this week and have found it's simplicity to use whilst running a bonus.
Will definitely be giving the other free ones a go at some point though.
In the mean time can someone tell me how to plot my route on google maps. I've tried searching and had no joy.
Thanks,
Martin
I use SmartRunner (http://www.smartrunner.de/pages/LatestSmartRuns.aspx)
Its free. But its german!
Rungps user and it truely offers a large magnitude of options. Good choice.
I bumped into this thread on the the Raphael forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488991
and I found this small app really useful for my Diamond.
Have a try!
thanks for the notice.
I didn't see it before. I give it a try.
I'm not sure about this app but I'll give it a go.
Works perfectly on my diamond....Just like on the iphone.....One of the best applications....
Works very good!!!
A must have app!!!
