Well people. We've released AP4.0 and everyone is trying it out.
What we want to try next is Android.
Keep your eyes open. We're going to start putting things together for this project soon.
good job seeing my post 15015 years ago people!

What about the vanilla AP4 that does not require repartitioning?

Hey I don't even think I ready your post...but glad you're part of the team, so don't complain!
Anyhow, we have some resources and not just an idea.
How do u think do this?
Will i need to flash my device new?
When it is so, for me -1
When i can have AP4 and Android TOGETER on one device +1

Should be able to run both on your device but not at the same time.
Multi-boot or liveCD ISO concept desired
Guys,
It would be great to have both PK 4.0 and Andriod working at the same time in either a multi-boot scenario, or in a vm / overlay based solution. If we could launch the Andriod solution from miniSD or ext rom, that would be awesome. Especially for the 1.0 versions. Later 2.0 or stronger could completely replace a PK based ROM, if we had all of the tools and applications ported over to support andriod as a daily user / solution.
I know that these thoughts may seem a bit different that what was mentioned in the past, but I think that they would allow for better acceptance and utility until the Andriod solution picks up more steam and acceptance amonst the community...
There are also some WM based applications that I wouldn't want to loose or to have to port over at this time.
Hope this helps,
Bob

This sounds good!
When you can create a "Bootloader - screen" where i can select, wat OS i want use i vote +1!
There atleast is a definate potential for a bootloader piece like the pc has of lilo or grub for the ppc it will all be determined based on what we can create and develop
Hi
I mentioned once before that android could be cool
It would be great
Perfect idea! I you need testers let me know! Two OS versions on a machine AP4 and Android, whats next?

Qtopia is beginning to appear on one or two devices, main problem it appears is secrecy from HTC on some of their hardware from what I understand. But htc are supposed to be involved in android, so it should be a bit easier..

It will be released so WM is preserved and you will be able to boot to Android then go back to WM. Not sure of all the specifics yet as those will be worked out. Great minds think alike.
Polaris has potential, I know!
This is my first thread so don't go rough on me.
All this is about an idea, about a dream, about the future.
I wish there could be something we could all do to save our little Polaris's lives from the trash bin.
Wouldn't it be nice!?!
I suggest 5 things!
And i would need some hardcore programmers to be working on this..
Yes, for crying out loud, I am calling for Bepe, Olipro, Vivi, Udk, Pawel062, cmonex, misar, faria, tadzio, pof.. There are a lot of you guys. And really as far as I know you know what you are doing!
I am using Bepe's rom at the moment.. (bepe an update maybe?)
SO!!!!
YEA!!!
THE FOUR MAGICAL THINGS WE ALL NEED:
PROPER Graphics support - Coming in june with the Diamond i suppose.
Or if you are smart enough see how it
works in core player 1.2.4 and take it out.
PROPER Eased up system - I mean roms with all tweaks and tricks
+ make them empty, like totally empty!
PROPER List of applications - To show everything that is available for the
TC, Also more settings availability (up until
how big the application icons must be)
PROPER OVERCLOCK - What no one thought about this one?!?
PROPER Launcher - I have got one in mind, I can try to do it in
flash version, yet i'll need you guys to
program it for pocket PCs out there.
MAYBE THIS THREAD IS NEVER TO BE DISCOVERED
YET I BELIEVE THERE ARE LOADS OF OTHERS WHO
WANT TO START THE SAME THREAD!!!
Drivers+Easy System+Overclock= KILLING COOL EXPERIENCE
All the software choice, will help you decide what you really
want from the device.
I've got ideas.
I need help.
Post me a personal message to get my skype and other stuff.
Update: Changed the fonts.. not so big now..
Lot's of big fonts and requests from someone who doesn't appear to understand much about why his some of these requests can't be fulfilled.
Out of interest tcfanboy, how much cash are you willing to gift to people you've mentioned to do all this work for you?
I am not planning to sell this product, so there is no cash in this for me.
I am just saying i can contribute, i wish others could too..
I just like to have my device working, don't you?
don't be a pessimist.
I'm just tying to help.
If you don't like it, you can ignore it.
Big fonts are there to stand out. But yea i guess they are too big.
I know nothing about programming on a device such as a pocket pocket pc.
But i can program in pascal, delfi, and i am currently getting hold of c++..
I am not a lamer if that's what you are saying. I just need guidance.
Will you be of help?
People here are trying there best taking apart other devices and putting their codes into other. How about a new level?
how about writing the codes ourselves.
Just asking you if there is there a tutorial online? The one every beginner has read.
hey tcfanboy, thanks for the poll, u've got a point here but: u see all this work that the ppc wizes are doing is voluntary and asking them for stuff that they already know abt its not the best idea(my opinion). I'm sure they're doing their best to provide all of us with good roms and various improvements but they're not receiving any help from the company that was supposed to do all this work: HTC !
Anyway, HTC announced that they will release some sort of update in this month or next one for the devices with Q7xxx chips that will provide some sort of fix for the current issues but they didn't specify what exactly will the update do. And its not surprising considering they don't even admit they've got a problem with the video acceleration
I'm definitely looking forward to see your list of requests integrated in a rom and I'm sure sooner or later it will happen. Thanks to every1 working on any improvements!
according to an o2 germany insider at ppc-welt.info, there can not be software driver update, since this is software code on core-level, wich cant be solved by flashing a rom

i might be able to contribue with a ultra lite rom. i know i said i would release a new project rom but i want to mess more with a lite rom so will release a full and lite rom tommorow. if u all dont mind me removing almost everything like camera etc.. i can definatly get something really lite made.

acceleration can be turned on and off at any time. acceleration is nothing more than making dlls that turn on the acceleration and use it. manilla aka touchflo 3D is a example of acceleration in use. if u look at the dependencies of manilla then you will know the dlls needed for acceleration.
Manila runs on a quite different device though
The actual hardware could be disabled in the Polaris-generation through some sort of burning certain areas on the chip (some guy wrote about it in here a couple months ago) to physically destroy certain features. But giving effort to find out if that is the case by disassembling other ROMs is surely not the wrong thing to do! I guess I'll wait for some sort of fix or buy an Xperia if that one happens to arrive first

hey Pawel, if u'll integrate in your rom all the fixes and current improvements that vivi, pdaviet and udK have in their roms, it doesn't matter how lite the rom will be because we can always install on it the applications we want.

I don't know much abt wm platform but working in IT gives me a bit of a tech background and I'm learning fast, please correct me if I'm wrong but I think this video acceleration problem on Polaris is not easily achievable even with the dlls from Diamond because they are built for VGA and TC is using QVGA Right?

This is correct. But then again a driver is a driver and the resolution shouldnt play a role. nVidia drivers work for 1920x1200 as well as they do for some 1024x768 output... It could be different though for fixed resolution devices like our mobile devices are. We'll see, we'll see, or we might switch the hardware manufacturer...

Really? It looks like you're making so much promises both in Polaris Project, with the Glass ROM and now here.

I am glad to get some Seniors here. Thx guys. I saw this post of all the htc programs..

Well.. you should add the program list of the programs in the original rom.
Downloadable links and light description of features.
Yea, I am a demandive person! Someone must be.
Btw, there is an excellent company which makes software with understandable interface. Well.. I did not necesserely buy their products.. But the name is Vito. So this is the interface which should be used. If interested in them ask me I'll provide a free link. I am from russia. It's legal here. )))

I'm currently back on the HTC ROM but I would assume you can still run any of the home replacements from the market (or just the default android one) on MoDaCo.

It's really a preference thing, there's no harm in installing any one of them and seeing if you like'em. Sense really is the better fit for me.
Some of the major ones are:
- OpenHome
- aHome
-dxTop
- PandaHome
...that's just off the top of my head some of the ones I've tried. They each have some cool and unique things about them.
Once i figure what can me skinned and how i will be making themes. Not sure if i will post any, as i must have made at least 100 themes for S2U2 for personal use when i had my WinMo phones. If i did do one to post it would more than likely be a Danbo (Danboard) theme.
I just discovered that little guy and i already outfitted my chompSMS with several wallpapers of him.

aHome Lite made my Hero so laggy i could hardly use it. It took me like 10 minutes just to get it uninstalled.
Also, when i was searching for OpenHome i couldnt find the actual program, only themes. Anyone know the official app name?
lol if you figure out how to make a theme you should defiently make me one

I didn't have much trouble with aHome, odd.
Any home replacement will be difficult to find on the market if there's a bunch of themes with the name in it sadly.
I almost forgot a few more too:
- Freshface
- GDE (though I don't know if this one is out yet)
As for OpenHome, fire up that barcode scanner and go here:
http://www.androidtapp.com/open-home/ It has QR codes to scan and will take you straight to the market app.
which one do you think looks the best? and is the fastest

I used to have a Diamond and even made a few ROMs using some of the great kitchens available. It would be awesome if there were some kind of kitchen for the Hero. Hell, I might even give it a try then...just don't tell my wife, she thinks I quit cooking.

There is a kitchen, its called Android SDK and you can use it with eclipse. all you need to do is go grab the source from htc and compile it the way you want to and load it up with eclipse. or the android emulator. there is other steps but thats what google is for. i am working on my own rom right now. cant wait till its done. i am wondering how fast a bone stock rom would run.
I would be ur number one fan for a bone stock Android with hero support. I'd even go as far as to say it would be the base most custom roms are based off of.
I'm not a programmer but if u go through with this is there any way to twist cryogen's work into it? He gets great reviews and the update utility is pretty pimp

If that were possible -- including getting rid of all the bloat HTC added to the dialer, People app, etc. -- I would do it in a heartbeat, myself. As it is, completely stripping SenseUI has proven to be impossible.
Try this - Kill the Sense process, delete all the data for HTC Sense in applications/settings. Hit the home key and see if you can set "Home" as the default.
After that - root the ***** and kill off the bloat using the guides posted here

Welcome back,man.
Wow!
I visited xda only to see if there were any changes to STONROM, as you were talking about some updates after your holiday.. I log in, no updates, sad face, thinking no more stonrom updates for a while. And then check the threads, ..there you are with a very sleek looking, and non-sense based rom! This is a very fresh approach towards Toshiba ROMs! Congratulations for this. Whether your rom works or not, I am a fan!
Only one noob question - it doesn't involve SPB Shell interface or something right? :s

There is no spb, pointUI or WAD or anything of the sort. Host UI is a completely stand alone application, its has no dependencies other than .NET CF. That is the main reason i choose it.
Thanks for the compliments, i was looking to try and fill the gap between clean and sense roms a little as that's all we seem to have albeit in many variations.

I have spent my whole weekend looking for 'alternative UIs' if not ROMs for TG01 and was so disappointed after knowing that TG01 either had to wear SPB, PointUI, WAD, Sense UI or WinMo titanium! Personally I think none of them are effectively using the huge space TG01 has to provide or explore the powerful processor it has within. WM7 interface looks big enough and pretends to atleast use the whole screen! I am downloading it still (blame it on my slowest ever O2 broadband!) but will definitely share some feedbacks. Good job! (I wish I knew how to cook roms etc )

Sense is the only one that tests the TG, but the fact it was designed for a machine with 512Mb of ram is painfully obvious to those with less.
If you do find any other UIs that grab you drop me a PM or post in one of my threads and i'll take a look. Unfortunately if its not a variation on sense or titanium then nobody seems interested in developing. (I wish I knew how to program UIs )

There is this software - Slide UI - which apparently has everything you need to make your own UI! I downloaded a demo yesterday but am not sure if I will be able to use it at all! :s (am naive to making UIs!)
It looks awesome! I have just flashed your new rom! The start up screen is very windows and fresh! I am exploring the options I have with this new ROM now.. So in an hour I will be able to update you with much more feedback!

THE ANIMATION: Awesomely smooth.
THE RECOMMENDATION: More titanium themes? (Cook is way too smaller buttoned, than Classic Blue)
THE AWESOME: Removal of top bar magnifications on home page - I think it's because of HOST. (Those were annoying!)
THE NEW: If not used to HOST, then editing and adding new icons might be tricky for some while.
THE FAVOUR: If you could add a way to change theme of all tiles by single click?
THE NEED: Is it possible to have cabs for Marketplace and Contact Back up please? Have all my contacts on memory card and can't get them restored without this contact backup!
Hello Leeston ... no longer update the rom with sense?

More titanium themes - This rom doesn't have titanium, and the buttons are not controlled by theme, they are controlled by Host.
Haven't seen the magnifications, any chance of a screen shot?
Can't modify Host its not my work, links in the first post though
I'll sort out the cabs when my laptop is up and running, my desktop doesn't like cab manager for some reason. (couple of days)

Yes, update in a day or two.

Sorry!
Stonrom is the best for me!
Switching back. I am more disappointed with Host UI than Rom. Rom is smooth like cream, but Host UI is too laggy and doesn't do much justice. It is not so much customisable either and without the titanium, there is no other choice of home screen selection than boring Win 95 type screen!
I love your innovative ideas though, so keep them coming and I am ready to test all of those for you
