simple upgrade with a simple request

please bear with me guys, i have this dilema or should i call it a request...
notice whenever the camera engages on our magician? the back light turns brighter right?
is there a way that I/We can retain the backlight to its maximum brightness as bright as when the camera engages? like PSPs(playstation portable) brightness is at maximum whether the AC charger is on or off.. something like that... thanks alot..
THanks in advance and sorry for my bad english..

this is exactly what you need. hope i'm helpful!

the link you have posted has been dumped (i think) last reply was april 2008 and all download links are all dead... any better ideas for this request of mine? TIA
i think we should reprogram the whole ROM like PSPs
TIA

i'll upload the file as you say its no longer available.
i'm just uploading owing to non-availability. full credit goes to vijay555.

but dude... with all due respect..didnt the author said that its not safe to use this program? because it can cause a hard reset? is there another way to do this thing? thanks

there seems to be no registry tweek to enable extra brightness.
moreover i've been using this app full time from past 5 months or so, never faced any problem whatsoever. good part is you can disable it whenever you don't need it.

1st Gen Touch Diamond and Touch Pro Owners..Petition HTC.

The new Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2 were announced today, to include an updated version of the Touch Flo 3D software functionality. It gives the ability to move / remove / rename the Touch Flo Tabs, reorganize your programs on the program tab and even add additional programs once the initial ones are full plus a lot more.
Overall the new Touch Flo 3D is giving you the ability to get to the applications you use the most a lot quicker then what we can do now. The device is no more powerful then our 1st Gen devices as far as storage capacity is concerned and uses the same processors, so it should be non issue for them to roll out an update to our software.
Everyone should be going to http://www.htc.com and petitioning them starting now, requesting that they make the new Touch Flo 3D software available to us 1st Gen owners.
My phone is not even a month old, and to see them fix what is broken about the current gen software and not offer it to us would be flat out wrong. Even Apple offered the new software to their customers for just a nominal fee of $20, which eventually dropped down to $10.
I wish we could get a petition going and send it to them voicing how we feel. While I know people have been making mods to get this function on the current phones, this is a time where we need to make HTC step up and do what is right.
If you agree please keep bumping this, it would act as a petition of sorts. Maybe you could even do a poll on this subject??
I called my own wambulance already so I don't need another one...thanks !! =) lol....honestly though, everyone should feel as strongly about this being addressed by HTC as I do.

Petition? why when someone will port it over...plus from my experience with my kaiser...i dont think they care much to petition.....

Or you can just install this mod from this thread, and have most of that functionality like I do now on my Touch Pro
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470164&highlight=stocks

Will it port over? I would prefer to not mess with the ROM in anyway, this is an area that kind of worries me..can't afford to brick my phone...or is this something that would not have bearing on that? I don't know exactly how all this works, but that functionality would surely be ideal. Does HTC really not care about customer service? I have not dealt with them directly for anything yet.

Is this a cooked ROM install that I would have to do or a .CAB that you just run?....Thanks.

I strongly agree that they should have an upgrade for us, but I don't think they really care, this is how they make money, they put out the newest stuff and don't have upgrades for the old stuff so it urges you to buy the new phone

then why not just charge all of us 1st gen owners $10-$20 for the software and allow us to upgrade to it? They would make a ton of cash off doing that, on top of the sales from the new phone. This is exactly what Apple did when they upgraded to the next gen of their phones, it was smart of them to do it and brilliant from a customer relations standpoint.
I guess I could just return my current phone and get something else temporarily until that comes out, since I bought it online and it is not even 30 days old...but I would rather keep this phone if it is possible and just get the functions of the new Touch Flo 3D.

Don't sweat it, when it gets out someone will port it and make it installable with a cab...no worries. HTC really doesn't care much for the end user, they proved that with the Kaiser drivers.

htc does not give a sh*t and frankly i don't care... at the moment they have, IMHO, the best + tweaks phone for me. once i see a better phone somewhere else i will buy that phone.... i just hope this time they hard coded all of the hardware buttons so i can't remap any of them .... @ the person who made that decision.... and i quote

I thought that Diamond TF3D Configurator did a lot of those things. You can use it to remove unused tabs and to re-order them. You can also use it to re-order the programs in the program tab pretty easily. I'm also pretty sure that there are cabs out there that allow you to add some more shortcuts to the program tab. Personally, I don't really like loading more than 9, because scrolling down is a little tricky (it's easy to launch a program in the first 9 by mistake).

Umm...lol, not sure how your post helps any to answer my question about the software suggestion Stevieraveon made. I was trying to find out if this was a "cooked ROM" or just a set of cab files that I could hard reset in case something does not work right.
This is what he suggested to me so I can get more tabs etc..:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470164&highlight=stocks
I like my phone a lot and in most ways it is a step up from my HTC Mogul...but the lack of dedicated hard keys is taking a lot of getting use to, so some extra tabs would help get to those features faster.
Unfortunately not all of us are as comfortable as others when it comes to understanding how to install or deal with cooked ROM's. If it is all .CAB file installs then that I can deal with, no way can I afford to brick a $300+ phone that I just got on a 2 year contract.
I just wanna make my phone as quick and user friendly as I can without worrying about all this "bricking" I hear can happen if a custom ROM install goes bad on you.
Thanks again all....Bruce.

the only thing thats really new is the landscape tf3d has all the tabs now including home screen music and all that it looks like
that alone is awesome but yes of course it will port over
i believe 6.5 requires a windows key too so that might be an issue

We got slide2answer but nothing else from the changes made on the Touch HD, I'm not going to hold out for hope. And just forget about 6.5.

dont even stress it guys we all know someone will port it and probably make it better...i do hear u on htc at least giving the upgrade for 1st gen users but oh well. such is life in business

forget about 6.5? if you look in the roms section 6.5 is already on the touch pro

yeah, either way even if they don't not going to sweat it. I keep hearing that the Palm Pre might be released next month, and that device has really got my interest. If Palm does their applications store right to compete against the iPhone (keeping most applications free-$2) then it really has a chance to be a great phone.
They added the ability for it to support Flash today, also does copy/paste and a whole bunch of other features look promising. The keyboard is not as nice as other devices out there, but setting that aside all the previews for it have been really good so far.
So many choices lol.....anyone know if this is a "cooked ROM"?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470164&highlight=stocks
I think this might do what I am looking for, but if I have to mess with the ROM then I'll skip it...not out to brick my phone if something goes bad with the install.
Thanks all for your replies.

why are you so afraid to flash a rom? theres like 3 steps to it and pretty much impossible to brick it now it makes the phone so much better

Petitioning won't do anything but waste time. HTC will not listen.

I have been looking for a clear set of instructions on it that I am comfortable with is all. If you can tell me where to find a good set of instructions I really have been looking to give this a try. It's not something I have ever done before and I keep seeing people say in their posts that it might brick your phone.
I have been using the PHM Registry Edit program, but only for the most basic of stuff. So far nothing has gone wrong there thankfully. I also have the Advanced Configuration Tool version 3.3 with some of the stock settings changed.
Some of the mods out there look great. I just want 1 page that tells me everything as clearly as possible how to set my phone up for flashing to different ROM's and any additional software I might need.
If I have to get the phone serviced for any reason I will also need the ability to restore back to the stock Sprint HTC Touch Pro ROM. (signed?).
Thanks !! ....Bruce.

You seemed to want to know how to re-organize your TF3D tabs. I gave you a link to an app that allows you to do this. All you need to do is download and install the cab. Try it out, you might like it.

life without touch screen

touch screen of my o2 atom is not working.
is there a good free flowing cursor available that would also let me input in key board.so that i can send sms and dial phone numbers. fake cursor,sphelper,virtua mouse are lousy and one is better of without them. they do not work on keypad or keyboard.
is there any keyboard or dialer available which will function with the dpad.
thanks in advance

life is not complete without touch. but one has to continue living and searching
thank god that the atom has so many buttons which can be mapped to various functions
still looking for a true mouse on ppc
and a way to enter data without touch.
o senior members with tons of experience and knowledge-come to my help

I havent seen one for on the run, but you can run mymobiler on your pc and control your phone from there if needed

thank you so much.you have shown me something i did not know existed.
it has been a great help and makes my differently abled phone more useful.
but i am sure that it must be very easy for any good programmer to make or
alter a dialer to respond to the dpad. if they set their mind to it.
imagine that the dpad action moves the selection box from one number to the other
while the select button selects the numbers and then you press dial.
similarly for the keyboard.
that would be in my opinion a true mouse for the ppc.
that is what i search for.
thanks to all respected senior members.
had it not been for people like you we would yet have to invent the mobile.

ahh arungk2
Ass kissing will get you everywhere, its nice to see praise for our efforts sometimes here. cheers

guys its really tough to believe that i have not been able to
find a single keyboard app that works witgh the dpad. Or a dialer for that
matter.
please guys help if you have ever seen an app like that.
Hundreds of keyboards and not even one works with the dpad

If life is that bad without a touch screen, you have basically got to renew it or get a different device......generally life deals such blows to electronics in that once one bit of hardware fails, the odds are such that something else will soon follow.
Tough i know, but thats what tends to happen with computers and going off my own experience its true. On my 3 yr old high end laptop, bluetooth module failed, then all usb ports (prevented me flashing for a while) then part of the motherbaord let go.............now it no good but makes a nice ornament on my desk!

Thanks for the advise and insght.but till i am able to buy a new device cant help
feeling this way.and got to keep searching.
search and thou shall find

hi...
my sis is sending me her Touch Pro 2 on sprint.
i was looking to put android on it...
where are the android roms at???

Hey Dan, You have to look in the Touch Pro 2 Section under Android Management. Here's the link to save time.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627997
Not everything works yet, the big things are Bluetooth, camera, and the keyboard lights. Otherwise most works and it's great!
Please make sure to read the FAQ's and search before you ask questions because a lot can be solved with the search option. If nothing else, send me a PM. I have the Sprint TP2 activated on Boost Mobile and running XDAndroid so hopefully I can help. Good Luck!

aoastill, check out these FAQ's and see if any of that will work. If not, we'll take it from there.
I'll just assume you're running XDAndroid?

tundemcdonald, I have had problems when my SIM card was in. I had to take it out for everything to work. it shouldn't affect your WIFI though. Check out the FAQ's I posted before and you should be able to get it working. You also need to get an update because they have updated since when you got yours. Hope this helps!

thanks man.. could not find it.
now... i have the HTC Hero which has android....
the TP2 looks like it has the same hardware specs...cpu and memory.
difference..
Hero has bigger camera
THP2 has bigger screen and keyboard.
I had thought the TP2 had better cpu and memory.. I was wrong. I am having issues.. with the Hero lag and performance.
will there be any benefits with android on TP2??

To be honest, what the developers are doing is incredible, but I'd prefer to have the stock android phone. Idk if it's the sense of comfort that it's "official" or what.
The only benefits I can think of is the customizations. Such as overclocking, and all that stuff. The problem with it is it's obviously a work in progress, so you won't have the camera, bluetooth, etc. I know that's been a problem for me lately. I need the camera quick and when I get my phone out, I remember it doesn't have a camera But I think you'd be happier with the stock one compared to XDANDROID. But for the phones that don't have Android, it is wonderful.
And to comment on your statement about the RAM and processor. They both have the same processor and amount of RAM. The Hero has a better camera, but otherwise, everything is bigger and better on the TP2. And I like the TP2's slide out keyboard

So what you are saying is that there's no way to use a cdma tp2 (sprint version) in gsm mode (as my carrier is orange dominicana so it is gsm only ) on android? I tried android once and I could not get signal, but I thought it had something to do with the fact that I didn't look too much into the configuration I just wanted to see how it performed. if that's so then I think I won't be using android on my tp2 as it is my main phone now and without gsm support (as of now, ) it serves for testing purpose only, anyways the devs are doing a greeeeat job, I'm sure it'll improve over time.

No, that is not what I mean at all. We just have to figure out why yours isn't working. So I can understand what setup you have, do you have the startup utility in windows to boot into Android? Or are you going and opening haret.exe? If you are using the startup utility, go into the settings and make sure CDMA, and N. Am. Dial are checked off.
Also make sure you have the latest rootfs. Go to this site, http://files.xdandroid.com/rootfs/ and download the latest one. Rename it as rootfs.img and copy it to the andboot folder on your SD card. It'll replace the old one and that has the latest stuff in it. Give all that a try and see if it doesn't work then.

Thanks, i'll try that, (although I have a version that is about 2 weeks old, so maybe outdate issues can be ruled out, lol) I think that I checked the cdma thing when I tried it mainly because I have heard that in WM if you go gsm on a cdma phone you'll brick it so I didn't want to take any chances, next time I try I'll make sure to check off the cdma box, I'll give it a try later and will come back to report, I'm such a noob...

Hey you're doing fine. I have the CDMA version of the TP2 and I had a lot of bugs to work out. I guess it's tougher to get it working on that than a GSM phone. I still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing lol.
