help - Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development

Im new to winows mobile and just got the fuze and want it to look like the touch pro on htc's website. I put that tf3 configurator on it but my threaded messaging stopped working. All I want to do is make it look like that one with the black background and cooler clock. I want everything else pretty much the same except maybe lose cellular video and that junk. Also will i lose stuff on my phone if I do this like notes and stuff.

[REQ] Facebook Tab for Sense 2.5

I wonder if someone in this fantastic forun will be able to make a tab which contains facebook - like the twitter tab... would be grateful.
i have used search but found nothing.
OMG that is such a great idea. I would luv that feature!
love it if can be possible

Whilst I'd love this too, it's far too difficult to program, isn't it?
seems like you could use mtp to create the tab and cfacebook within that.

has anyone expierence with it?
cant be too hard if im not mistaken then someone made a programs tab for sense 2.5(which im running) so please do make it
i hate twitter =X
be ace with a streaming interface to so you could leave the tab open and watch ya friends updates come in live whilst in a desktop charger or something ;-)
sure Sony Erricson has this on one of thier phones..
Whatta great idea!!!
faboulus idea... we're waiting master
i never understood why they didn't incorporate this anyway...facebook over twitter any day.
+1 This is THE missing tab...
I so want this tab too!
FB Tab
This sort of tab breaks away from what HTC intended for the Sense UI. HTC intended us to use The Favorites tab and Contacts to see all the Facebook info. you can scroll through your contacts and see all the Facebook status and go to the contact to see their albums's etc.
The only reason that Twitter isn't integrated as most people don't "Follow" their friends on Twitter, only lists, websites, blog info etc.
thats all that missing from sense 2.5 is the facebook tab. Once its in their and its runs like the iphone facebook app we will be in heaven.
This is the one thing I was thinking "Wheres the facebook tab?"
Twitter got removed as soon as I had it...facebook tab would be simply awesome!
I guess its harder to implement than a twitter tab? Surely possibly though!
It would be great if it allowed you to update your status at the top of the tab then just showed recent updates below that. Something simple and easy to use.

[ROM]Ckirkp79 Omnia 2 i920 Lite Rom (DC23-21889)

This is my first attempt at building a rom.
Please let me know what you think about it and any problems you may run into.
I am new to cooking so I won't be able to answer all questions..
Thanks go out to AMDZero for helping me learn how to cook and for helping me with this Rom.
Ckirkp79 Lite Rom (21889)
After initial boot you should have close to 274mb free storage and around 85mb for program.
This is windows 6.5 (not 6.5.3 or 6.5.5) but I will eventually get to those.
Files I removed:
All VZ bloatware
Some Samsung stuff i think (sorry I didn't do a list)
xt9 is also removed but I found that the i8000 xt9 keyboard works really well (i use this personally instead of the one built for i920)
I apologize that this isn't well organized, I just got really excited about releasing this Rom.
When I create my base Rom, I will make sure it is well organized with pictures. I didn't really do any customizing on it, but Titanium is enabled on it.
Just checked out your Lite Rom.
At load I think the windows mobile flag is stretched a bit. That needs to be cleaned up a bit. You might try a different color for your text, as Blue on that green is not so easy on the eyes.
274.47MB Storage ROM at boot and 90MB RAM free after a few minutes of non use good job for your first Lite ROM!
I noticed there are no contacts in your ROM. I'm not sure what you changed but you cannot add favorites in contacts either. I'm currently having the same exact problem and still trying to fix it.
The cube button is not set (neither is cube hold).
Transcriber was left in as a sip, not sure if anyone still uses that, you can delete from SYS to remove it (all three named Transcriber something).
Same goes for MSN Money, not sure if ppl really use that one.
Lockscreen error occurs when opening Media Player (actually called touch player). This is caused by not deselecting the samsung lockscreen in samsung settings. Not a big deal, but it will complain about it everytime you open it otherwise. on my roms I have it deselected by default.
Overall this is a very usable Lite rom, and I'd use it out of the box anyday over the stock version they are selling at the VZW store!
I just noticed that you replied about my lite rom lol. I been so busy dealing with 21904.
Thanks for everything you said. I will def work on the color change on the windowshead.
I don't know what I deleted either to make the contacts not work or not able to add favorites. I guess I need to watch for that the next time I do one.
Yeah I didn't set up the cube button...I don't know why I didn't. I meant to take out transcriber and the other two but got caught up in trying to contribute to community lol.
MSN money was supposed to disappear however it leached on
Thank you for everything you said, as it will help me build a much better rom (once I figure out what I am doing wrong with 21904).
After you work on the content of your ROM we can start looking at changing the icons/taskbar buttons to make it more "theme" related.

[Q] 2 Qs from a just-converted-to-android exWM user

I am so curious about my first android toy (X10), I am very excited, so I'm ready to be flamed and bashed for my noob Qs (search is not working properly )
Oh yes ! I'm a noob again
My Qs:
1- How do I sort my contacts list in last/first name instead of fist/last ??
2- Is it possible to auto-sync contacts avatars to their corresponding facebook profile pic ??
Thanks for being kind
If you've come from WM then you will know we all have to be a noob at some point.
On the contact front, don't think the stock phone book works that way. I use a freebie app called Gesture Search, you use it to draw with your finger the first letter of your contact, be it first or last name. You can add more letters if you need to narrow your selection down. There are probably other phone book/contact apps out there on the market and others can point you in the direction of their favorite.
There is another app called Sync my pix which lets you bring over Facebook contact pics but I think that the 2.1 update due very soon gives you a better Facebook for Android app that lets you sync Facebook and your phone.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Android!
these are small issues, but somehow dissapointing
will I be able to sort my contacts with the OS upgrade ??

I must admit, the flavour of this post is a little better than the one asking us to read the user manual for you
You're going to go through a big disappointment phase, noticing Android just isn't anywhere near as customisable as WM. This will soon turn into elation when you realise Android isn't anywhere near as buggy, ugly, or downright crap as WM.
Android 'works', WM doesn't - it's kina the between WM and Apple - you sacrifice some customisation but you get something nice in return that doesn't need quite so much anyway...
I don't think you'll ba able to sort your contacts - google "Android releases" or something to find out a little more about that... there's also a thread in here somewhere that lists a whole lot of changes.
also, think outside the square on this one - maybe just re-write them lastname, firstname and there you have it. of course that's a pain, but it's a method.
I think syncing with Facebook is part of 2.1 (not sure though).
My advice is to let go, and embrace the new platform for what it is - I went through a ton of pain moving from WM, but it was worth it!
Enjoy!
thank you k1sr
Soon there will be less Qs and more collaborations
Great to see u on here gtrab and I'm stoked for what's to come.
Imho once u get familiarized with android u will like it way more than winmo

[Q] MIUI...who's tried it?

1. I keep seeing MIUI roms pop up all over. Could someone explain to me in plain English what exactly it is? From the screenshots I've seen it looks like the iphone...and there are Chinese iphone clones with (an actual) MIUI os out there right? But these roms are android OS modified to look like MIUI, which is a clone of Iphone? am I correct so far?
2. From the posts I've read, it's still buggy as far as GPS amongst other bugs? Also the UI itself has no app drawer and uses the grouping icons on the desktop like IOS? I've played around with the nephews ipod thouch, and it is annoying as hell...you can't just have a nice clean desktop with a few app shortcuts to say cam/mp3/navi and then a button to access the rest of your apps? It's all there in your face with groups of apps/games taking up your whole homescreen? (again unless you download some mod, which has to run in the background taking up resources) ?
If you have used a miui rom I'd love to get some feedback, before I try to flash one...again it seems to me it's trying to clone an iphone, in which case why not just get one?
I wasn't sure about the MIUI ROM's at first. Slowly they started popping up on almost every device. A few friends ran it on their phones and that's what originally got me to flash it. You are correct in that there is no app drawer. Luckily for me I use folders like none other. It was a pain and still is every time I update, but I am patient and take the time. I just make a folder named "apps" and place all my apps in there! BOOM!!! EPIC app drawer action! It really has started to grow on me. I enjoy the ease of customizing all the theme options that's a big plus for me and I never really messed with that too much on other ROM's. Its so simple with MIUI you can't help your self. Its really pretty slick and I have no bugs to report. GPS werks fine for me and that is something I need to werk. Check it out, it might be for you, it might not. Only one way to find out.
Good luck!

Extreme True Multitasking On The Note (Heads up from N7000 forum)

Hi all,
I've already posted this in the N7000 forum and I guess most of you are new here so I don't want you guys to miss out on this really cool find.
Since the note has such a big screen why not push the boundaries and try out some try desktop-style multitasking
Check out the video to see what it's all about.

Of course, it's android gingerbread. If you're referring to the 3D UI, I have a galaxy note tutorial on my channel here:

Hey I just want to say thanks for sharing this with us! It is very nice to have someone from the International Note forum share the true awesomeness of our devices! Much better than just "oh I forgot this is AT&T note, your device is crap"
coldfustion has the best vid's. tx for sharing it! i ASSume our snapdragon processor can do the same thing, maybe with a touch of lag, maybe not.
i was at a family dinner Friday and i can never think how to show off the phone as everyone is asking me about it. his vid's always give me new ideas
Halleluja! I've been asking for something like this for months. See my split screen/multiview thread in the N7000's theme/app forum. Now please add a couple features:
1. "Snap" like Windows 7 Ultimate has, but slightly different. Make it so that when you drag the app's title bar to a side, it snaps to fully fill the screen halfway on that side. Dragging to a corner makes the window snap to fully fill that 1/4 of the screen. If you have the screen filled with 2 windows (or 3 or 4), make it so you can drag the border between windows and they'll automatically resize at the same time to maintain the screen filled.
2. Have the notification bar pull down over all windows.
If you add these features and make it work, I'll buy a copy for $50.
P.S. Why in the world, if the Note's capable of running all of that at the same time, did Samsung feel the need for such aggressive RAM management that I can't currently switch from my browser window to email, one other app, then back to the browser without my entire browsing session being closed down!?
oh, didnt know this was a promotion for a bunch of PAID apps
thanks anyway

some ppl just expect things for free most of us are appreciative Jim.
Just bought the browser version. For $1.50, why not?
Honestly I can't see myself using this on my note even though we have the biggest screen size of any phones. I can see this being useful for tablets or for showing off to my iphone buddies!

Jim, could you work on seeing if we can get something like your 3D UI for our AT&T version
I just downloaded both, kept the broweser, returned the video player --- my keyboard doesnt work when the video player is up

I didn't think it read like an ad. Then I saw both were paid apps and read it again.
That said, for $1.49, I figured, why not?
Both work great on my I717. Stock ROM, not rooted, running ADW Launcher EX, and using hacker's keyboard. I was able to run two 1080p videos at the same time with the video program, and was able to run 3 you tube videos on the browser. No problems with keyboard. The only problem with lag is it seems as I run more and more videos the sound and video gets a bit out of sync.
Thanks for the link. I like the browser because I am often copy/clipping stuff, or re-keying stuff from the browser window to somewhere else and that makes it much easier. I don't know that I'll use the video thing much, but its neat to show off, as others have said.
Wow, thanks for the information, especially about the 3D UI. It led me to discover many cool apps that I didn't know about before. I really like the Windows-like Contact app and Alternative App Drawer apps especially. Thanks again!

The video app will come in handy for my use case. I like to use the Google Navigation while driving but also want to hear my language training video at the same time. Before there was no way to run my video app while running the navi app at the same time. Now I do! Thanks.
That is a great app and it shows what the future will be for smart phones. Big screens that are used in a Landscape mode for most functions. The only need for portrait is to hold it up to your ear to make a call.
People are making a lot less calls.

This is true, you can expand your phone as far as you want. I mean if you used a bluetooth keyboard and hooked this up to a TV.. I might just try that

No worries, I guess I still have some 3D UI spreading to do on other forums, it seems as if people have the mindset that the manufacturer UI is what your stuck with. eg, Once touch wiz, always touch wiz
