Done by JesseW, thanks

I am looking for a person who wants to join me on a "project", need him / her to have WinCE Cab Manger know how and also be able to create Icons such at the folder icon of Microsoft office mobile.
Bad Points.
As always its unpaid, you will get no donatuions and nobody will give you credit for your work.
Good points.
You will get to use tools and software which turn your Blackstone into a brick.
Better points.
With your and my brick and a few other better testers we could build a doll house.
Best news.
I am not going to post what this is all about.

Need somebody to go through this thread

I was planning to reformat some of the pages over the next few days, good to have some help!

Yup saw your work and have spent some time redoing a few things.
It looks like at least 3 people know how to edit the pages.

I have created a WIKI page for GPS, TomTom and Navigon Mobile issue
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_GPS
I need somebody to go through the threads that I am pointing to and update the information on the wiki page so that we have a complete overview of the issue.
Thanks

To the rest, we still have a few things up top that I need help on.

I would love to help but commitments in and out of medical surgery are taking up most of my time.
My apologies.

WVGAFIX3
Sorry forgot to check "minor change" for HTC_Software_1 Version 40.
I removed the vModesSwitch entry because it's confusing:
It's the same thing as WVGAFIX by Cotulla.
However that one is not minor change:
I think there should be a link to WVGAFIX3 before the list of software because most software not working in WVGA can be used perfectly thanks to Cotulla.
And anyway I can't find that "Post 354" that we have to see. Is it that one?

The GSM works I receive a phone call and a SMS too and both works.
Need more work for let use the buttons: the right softkey and windows button type "6" and "N" and "M" respectively, and We need a back button urgently
If i use the wizard or prophet cab I use android in portrait because all is in landscape.

thanx ryomahino, but i just cant seem to get it to work

Well I just make the steps posted in first post and wait.
Now I can run android but the buttons are not mapped yet, but xplayerku is working on that and maybe Darkstar can have a board support for artemis soon.

Oh ok thanx for the reply, ill just wait for the board support

have you gotten the buttons to work??

I wait the button support

how to close the applications?...... to do it ihave to remove the battery......

Android update
Hi Guys,
This rom cannot be updated on shady 313 WM6.5 Rom. if you want to update android you should change your operation soft ware to any other one.

its not a rom
it's still experimental
it isnt finished yet
getting it run on half working hybrid 6.5 rom will be quite far down the priority list
just for the developers information, it runs fine on pdhee's last 6.5 rom...or rather it did until i tried it this morning and it crashed out with the kernel error that others are reporting (cant mount fs).
reading the dev lists it looks like some poeple think this is an sd driver issue or something that was introduced in the new version
waiting for a fix anyway

hi..... i found this http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/w...sid=376427fb5e6d23cdd5c037d34389f847&start=10
i'm not a programmer and i can't compile kernel but i think this ca help you....
is there any guide for compile the kernel? i've downloaded the sdk on the mac os...
sorry for the english

cuzzo94 the page that you found is the page for this project
the reason for that you dont close applications its because until now we dont have mapped the hardware buttons.
xplayerku is working on that and maybe darkstar too (i hope so).

Hi,
Did you see that i do all job your are doing again ? one year ago, check kernel here with all driver working for artemis, missing wifi / battery / sound now.

Click to expand...

like he said he has working some drivers.
Maybe some programmer could mix the 2 projects.

do you will relase a new version with mapped buttons?
thanks!

if you read the thread, they are discussing making a specific artemis board config.
i think this needs to be done before we get any more progress
once the board config is done for artemis it can be fixed to run properly, but we need to wait for them to do this.
at the moment there are board configs for wing, prophet, herald and wizard, but no artemis so our phones are being booted pretending to be one of these 4 devices (which is why it doesnt quite work properly yet)

ok thanks!
good job

mine says inmediatly when entering android; power off?

HTC_IME (custom keyboard) for Tattoo.

the guys in this thread have put together an awesome keyboard replacement. however, because of Tattoo's small resolution, even the low-res version looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I don't know how to modify the keyboard so it would work on Tattoo, but maybe someone else can. please go to the original thread if you think you can help developing the app.

+1 would be cool!
I also posted in the original thread... I hope someone fixes it! =)

Hey Thank you. Let me see if that works

No, It doesnt work . I got this messege Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_INCONSISTENT_CERTIFICATES]

How did you install it ?
You have to push it with ADB.

Im doing this:
Code:
adb remount
adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app
adb push Clicker.apk /system/app
adb install -r HTC_IME.apk
adb install -r Clicker.apk
adb reboot

You don't have to install it ! Just reboot and it's done.

I did it. it keeps the huge keyboard

This is how my keyboard looks, its hard to tell but each letter is a little bit vague but it works ok... i would like to know if anyone else has this problem, its almost like each letter looks hand drawn with a pen !!!
..

fixed
ignore my last post !!
was on wrong track.. tattoo res unsupported, in process of fixing now..
.

some news from that thread:
It's not technically difficult to port the mod to Tatto. However, I don't think that I will ever do it given what I have to work with now. I don't have the time to keep several code bases up to date (spare time project after all) so I must be able to share code bases between the different resolution versions. The two current versions are from Desire and Legend. They are essentially the same from a code point of view so it's feasible for me to keep them both updated. The current Tattoo version is an older HTC_IME generation with several differences in the internal logic. It's possible to port my hack one by one manually to the Tattoo version, but I don't have the time. The source code is posted so anybody who want's to start working on it can do so...

I get Install_Failed_dexopt when trying to install?!

Well I can try mess a bit around with it... but it's smali files which isn't my strongest site, sadly

Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
though it would best match t&a, let me know when it's solved and I will move it accordingly then

I checked again the thread and in the first post there is no longer a warning that the keyboard doesn't work on tattoo.
however when i did a quick search though the pages i didn't find anyone who would successfully install the keyboard on tattoo. someone mentioned that it doesn't work correctly, but only in landscape mode.
i will try to install the latest (27) version later today and will post screenshots afterwards.

I've tried the newest v27 and the keyboard is still too great. No Screenshots there because nothing changed.

[SOLVED] How to have latest LockScreen working on COM5

Here's the latest LockScreen from OBOE leaked ROM (fully translated to WWE):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 1: Install the LockScreen cab, if you're using COM3, skip Step2.
Step 2: Install my ActiveLS cab and reset.
(All cabs must be installed on Device)
@Chefs: you know what to do

Btw, please forget the 1st pic, it's the Manila 2015. I'm lazy to take another pic just for the LockScreen

Aswom work, thanks a lot.

Holy ****, I installed your ActiveLS.cab and now my HD2 doesn't boot anymore. Have to do a hard reset.
edit: OK, my fault I read back your 1st post and saw that both cab must be installed...... Please put this in red for dumb ashes like me
edit2: I installed both cabs and man I have to hard reset my device again.....

Yah it almost fooled me as well, thanks

I've just tested again and it works fine, not sure about your prob. How about the others?

cheer's mate..
i have tryed your cab now...work well for me
i use build 23569 in my rom

He's talking about your instruction how to use, it's bit misleading for me as well nothing wrong with the lockscreen.
If you install only the Cloudy ActiveLS you can't boot anymore I ques and need to hardreset.
Maybe it's better to instruct:
first (always needed)
second (add extra on com 5)
I still need to flash but I'm glad Appelflap told, saves me a extra flash.
Build 23568
Cheers,
Edit; Confirmed works like a charm both HTCLockscreen slider and PIN.

but lockscreen is soo laggy!! dont like it!!

I also get this lag :S

Not working on Miri v17.4 or Elegancia v9. Both cabs installed as instructed each time. Had to hard reset.

hey cloudyfa
wich are the minimal requirements to run this LS im on hermes qvga wm6.5.5 23569 default wm ls enabled

You da man cloudy!

Working (sort of) with 231xx
Lockscreen will only work with COM3(231xx). I tried with COM2(219xx) and doesn't work.
The issue are the missing icons: SMS/Missed Call/Mail. at bottom?
PIN input works, and RSSReader works.

Nice work thanks!
Still very laggy and jerky though, same as the mini HD lockscreen...

No, no.... I had to hard reset my device also when I installed both cabs.
Clearly the ActiveLS.cab can cause some heavy problems on some roms ...
And please excuse my language in my earlier posts. I was really pissed of. I had a fully configured devices and then I had to reset it .... TWICE
Good luck, hope you can sort it out.

Glad you found the issue. It really would be helpful if you were to include the phone you're using, and the rom. Short of editing the file you found, you might consider doing a task29 to completely wipe the phone, then doing a re-flash of the rom.

Who knows maybe I can do that and I realy don't appriciate you're posting pm (private messages) of Xmoo in public.
We are still testing this rom and what we do is between the beta team and me untill it's finished.
Xmoo is a member of the beta team.

Why you guys so much discussion about it.
After xmoo say about the beta rom from Laurentius26 in public here , i made the post.
Then what is the main problem;
The word or sentence that made you angry with me?? Or what??
Also i make that post cause xmoo didnt come again to say it is not working and we take care about that or anything in public and i receive pm's from person's and say to have the answer in my thread.
So???
What is the meaning from this thread????
No one make the try to fix it cause all we whait the rom. ha..
If that is a reason from banning points then bann me...
The right was not to come xmoo here in public and said that finaly does not work; and that he was wrong; Or i'm stupid?
Anyway because I do not like what happened and is the first time I 'm in such a difficult position, I ask really sorry from user: xmoo and user: Laurentius26.

And finally here is the fix...
Many many thank's to user: ultrashot to point me in the right way...
The file have a complete fix for HD2 device's with 6.5.xx build's.
Have a fix for dialpad position and a fix for save to contacts position (i dont find that fix in any of cooked rom's so it's time) also a finally fix to the sip icon button. So ALL in one!!!!
