TIP: How do I test my PDA for dead / stuck pixels?

The easiest way of doing this is getting PocketLCD v1.0 by Bong's Workshop 2003. Install and start it and just click any of the colors to find out whether your Pocket PC has a dead or stuck pixel:

}
Note that the distribution package is pretty big as it also contains a Compact Framework install (which is not needed on WM2003+ Pocket PC’s, including Windows Mobile 5). If you want to save bandwidth, I’ve uploaded the only CAB file you’ll need to install on any WM2003+ device here (a 8 kbyte (!) download, as opposed to the 1 Mbyte-one original).
There are other alternates too; for example, Mobile ScreenTester by Sellit Hungary Bt.. It, however, comes in a MSI package requiring a specific desktop .NET framework (NOT compatible with .NET 2.0), which I didn’t bother downloading. Also, it’s stated not to be as good on VGA devices as PocketLCD.

well .. i just saw it
don't embarrass me !

Lol just having a bit of fun mate, dont take it seriously!

Been using this for more than a month now... absolute gorgeous and plays exceptional well with S2 series and new icontact.
Highly recommended.

1.02 was so much better in every way....
I still use it since like.. january!
awesome app, just a sad evolution to 1.5....

I guess it depends on phone/rom etc.
1.02 locked up everytime I use the currently running function which forced me to use another task manager.
1.02 also gets closed by the "OK" button when I used HButton + HTC x-button.
These two are the major annoyances which stopped me from using 1.02.
1.51 has all that fixed and the built-in contacts is also kinda cool.

I think the earlier version was much better looking

.... and it doesn't work on my G900 (which has a high res screen (800x480(?)).

New look for the internet tab

Hey,
I was browsing through different roms for other mobile phones which are also using Manila and I found the Onyx Rom for the HTC Touch and there, the internet tab looks pretty awesome, also the list view of the favorits is kind of nice. Is there a possiblitiy to change it at the HD2 too? A much more nicer world etc.?

The thing about that is the Internet Tab you see is for Manilla 2.1 if I remember correctly (been so long since I have used it) and 2.5 has the style that we use. To be honest I like that style too.

Android desktop mode : a much under-estimated feature

I feel like android desktop modes are really much under-estimated. From android 10 release, all media only talk about foldable phone support, 5G support, dark mode (ok this one is actually pretty cool) but nothing about desktop mode.
But this feature is just so powerfull. Why do you use a computer anymore? Using only one device is so much more convenient and less expensive...
Ok currently there is still one issue that is the software end. If you need a windows-only software you'r stuck... But are you really? If you use a cloud computer like shadow.tech you can get a remote windows desktop with all the windows soft you could ever want!
I made Keydock, a docking station in the form of a keyboard, that gives a really great docking desktop experience.

I would love to hear what you think of it! You can see more pictures on Mod edit: Link removed

I guess it looks sick, not sure why I would use it though.
