OK, sorry a bit of a weird title but this is what I mean. I am getting my XDA Serra tomorrow, xmas present and will want to start getting some cool apps on there straight away. So if anyone else out there has the O2 XDA Serra I was hoping for some quick hit advice to get me started.
To set the seen, the last device I had was a Jasjar (universal) liked it a lot, but when it packed up on me over 18 months ago i have not even looked at another phone (except for my old trusty 6230i), took the plunge and got myslef a serra for xmas but not allowed to have it until tomorrow.
so...
1. First I want to load up with some tunes, and a decent player, with configurable playlists. What apps are people using on this device for this.
2. Also want a decent video player. Used a DivX variant on the universal and it was amazing but what are people finding cool on the serra.
3. I guess I will need a decent file explorer too, think I used Resco before, for ftp and file search etc. What are people using for this.
4. Now this might need a thread on it's own, but I have a Tom Tom go which sadly has packed up on me, is there anyway that I can use the siftware from the Go rather than buy the software again, or are there better Sat Nav options?
That will get me started. Any suggestions are welcome, please.
Sorry for calling it the Serra, I think it is the Raphael, but wanted to be clear this is what I have as I believe the UIs are different.
Cheers, Shire
the best Player, S2U oc , for Divx Movies, try Tcpmp or coreplayer as for the sat, iGO FTW!

So, XDA guys, when is a grouping for the new Palm Treo Pro gonna be setup?
WOW, i think this will be the KING OF DEVICES for now !
Some pictures: http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/palm-treo-pro-unboxing-and-hands-on/
Ik hope the XDA developers will find a working CAB-file for voip calling over wifi AND 3G, and by using the internal speaker.
The Treo Pro is manufactured by HTC, by the way. So i hope this will help.
if i were you i'd ask it in this forum
About xda-developers.com
Anything to do more with the site than with the phones. Feature requests, announcements, praise, moaning, etc.
Yep, it's going to be made by HTC. This device will ROCK!

Palm Treo Pro Forum
As it is produced by HTC, maybe the first step is to get a forum for it on XDA Developers ?
See the unboxing video: http://mobilitytoday.com/articles/palm_treo_pro_unboxed.html
This is the next God device.
Palm have the design right but in the past years they just seemed to pop out the same devices over and over. I'm glad to see Wi-Fi, GPS and power at last.
You can tap yourself in the back this time, you really deserve it!

"It looks like HTC made the Palm Treo Pro. I think this is great news for the Treo Pro buyer because HTC is a proven player in the touch screen Windows Mobile market. Another thing is that the excellent resources at XDA Developers may be able to support customizations of the device for those who like to tweak things."
up
and one more for the palm treo pro forum
O.K. I had the possibility to make a test with this device !
I can confirm: this is really the KING DEVICE for now ! It has a really perfect size in your hands. Less PDA and more smartphone (but with all PDA functionalities)
But bad news too: As it is produced by HTC voip calling has the HTC/Fring bug: it uses the speaker on the back and not the earspeaker which should be
Voip calling over 3G didn't work too: you can dial a number, you can pick up the other line and there is a connection, but the line is DEAD, no sound both connections
For testing I used this files: http://voipguides.blogspot.com/2008/05/voip-sip-client-for-windows-mobile-6.html
Has anyone else Pre-ordered they Treo Pro? I just ordered mine this week and can't wait for shipping. I have heard over on Treocentral that someone has already received the device. I am hoping that America side starts shipping next week!!
I have my Treo Pro for a few days now, I really hope there will be an XDA forum for the Treo Pro (850).
Meanwhile, I've started a new website with tips and tricks: http://www.treoprotricks.com

Another vote for a Treo Pro forum.
Mine shipped overnight on UPS to Chicago - just got tracking number!
i bought my treo pro yesterday and im pretty happy with it
there were several things i would have made in a different way like a mini-usb connector instead of an micro-usb one but at least its some standarized connector
still mini usb would be more practical
a seperate forum for the treo would be nice
right now i am fighting with the installations of my progs
most of the times an current version of software will solve problems with the 320*320 screen
one kind of program i am still looking for is a replacement for novii remote
i was hoping to be able to use the infrared port as a rc...
I just got mine a couple of hours ago, am enjoying playing with it. I too hope they start and Treo Pro forum...will be helpful.
als long as there is no new forum for this phone i will keep posting interesting stuff i find out about my treo pro here
one very annozing thing i found out was:
- while listening to music with the screen off i heard short interruptions which after i checked it occured exactly every minute
- to "fix" this you have to disable the screen saver (the clock and date display on the deactivated screen) in settings>system>power options (might be called slightly different but sorry i only have a german device)
this is a pity that you have to do this in order to listen to music without problems
but it annoyed me after a while that much that i finally can live with that
I have really enjoyed playing this this new toy this weekend (the heck with the homework!)
Anyway, a couple of things and maybe one of you can help me out. I so wanted to use UL but when I installed I can't see all of the configuration pages and there are no scroll bars for me to scroll down to finish the configuration. Very Frustrating.
Also I tried the RealVGA cab and it messed up my today screen really bad, plus it made everything so tiny I couldn't read it with out my reading glasses, not good for me. So that didn't work.
Also there is a huge lack of themes for the Treo, I never realized the huge difference between this and a regular 240x 320 screen.
Anyway for right now I am using Home++ Floyd Base Theme, and using SecondToday to run my WeatherPanel and FaceContacts.
So far I am liking this new toy...I am getting use to the keyboard but I will get there and I love the screen! I was actually outside today in the sun and could see it and read my emails!

^^exactly my thoughts too today
i also must admit that its a bit frustrating to see how many programs have problems with 320*320...
the good thing is that everything i need is available in a version which runs smoothly most of the times(except tomeraider3 which has graphic bugs and the search only works with the softwarekeyboard -.-)
i als might add that the audio skip problem occured to me while using mortplayer as my mp3 player app...
so far im still playing around with this little fella
what caught my attention was that the treo pro uses around 60mA of current while in my typical ebook reader setup(backlight dimmed to the max but stiil on)
this could mean a decent battery runtime but its hard to say after just 3 days
the first impression is rather positive though

Hummm will have to check out the audio players...I hate to say it but I just don't use that or video players I do like You Tube, but for music and videos I have my Zune.
I am having a problem getting my skyfire reinstalled...am still trying to get the kinks out of that one, and I have sent a request to someone to try and get a couple of themes made for this here new toy...since I am completely helpless with anything graphic. I have some new Dexter wallpapers and want themes made out of them and I got some great Icons for it too..I NEED to get this UL issue resolved so I can get this thing looking good or as the kids would say "I need to pimp out my phone"
EDIT: Here are a couple of screen shots not done yet
GPS Working
So I fired up his baby this morning, to check out the GPS. I use to use an external bluetooth receiver with TomTom on my T-mobile Wing. Usually took at least 2 minutes to get a signal. I turn on the TomTom this morning used other GPS Com4 and it took under a minute to get a signal in my apartment!! Way cool! So now I need to find a reason to go driving and get some use out of this.
I have just upgraded from O2 XDA Orbit 1 to 2 and would like to update the ROM, would like to get some advice before I do...
can I use the WWE 6.1 Update from HTC to update and "de-brand" my phone or do I need to use the O2 version ?
I was using Artemis Touch 3.0.1 Lite (With Mobile 6.1) on my old phone, and i love the look and the functionality of it, I was hoping the Orbit 2 was the same sort of thing but quicker and more stable, from a lot of posts here it seems that isn't the case ? Is there a cooked ROM that is as stable and functional as 3.0.1 Lite or should I stick with the factory ROM ?
What about Tomtom ? Version 6.01 does everything I want, is there any point in going to 7, ie fresher maps or whatever ?
What are peoples recommendations for making sure the jog dial rubber ring stays in place ? Is it worth pulling it off and fixing it on with superglue or gasket silicone or something else ?
Also, should I hang on to my old Orbit for a few weeks - just in case ...
looking forward to spending some more time on XDA-devs..
GF
If i were you i would go definitely to orbit 2, its fast and has every fetaures that you will need day by day.
You can flash cooked rooms to your taste.
About the tomtom, yes its worth upgrading too, the new tomtom7 has more improvements, and the maps are more detailed and more updated. Im going just to warn you , DONT REQUEST NO MAPS in this forum you will get banned.
good point

yes warez are no allowed @ this forum
welcome to the forum
Well thanks for the info. I did get my Orbit 2... and surprise surprise the rubber ring ws missing...
And so I started on a painful run of trying to get a nice clean ROM similar to Meschle's Touch ROM on the Orbit. I chose an older ROM, Bepe's (Polaris_WWE_0.67_Standard_bepe) and thought hell, in for a penny, Id upate the Radio at the same time , as trawling through this forum heard good reports about the recent update Polaris_Radio_1.64.08.21 . Well I have now reflashed about 15 times, 3 different ROMs and 5 different Radios, trying to get one which WORKED... I mean it all looked good but either reception was awful or the speaker would buzz horribly, and the speaker would go off altogether. I went through all the radios, then went back to O2's original 6.1 update, and even then something was up with the reception/speaker. I thought that I had been sold a lemon. I thought ah hell lets try one of the recent ROMS, I had happened to download Syrius R4, and fook me, what a piece of work, and I love the Manila, all I can say is congratulations on an amazing ROM. I don't care for clean any more. I will even live with the dodgy looking clock. Because it is like the eye-phone in that it just works, and its all just logical, I love it ! Even text entry is superb with the new QWERTY keyboard. The radio is now at 1.59.42.15, and that seems rock solid, gps fix times are good, TT7 up and running, migrated traffic from old machine, came back here to say thanks udK !!
Oh yeah and after using the phone for 1 day I managed to crack the digitizer , in the top right corner, but it all seems to be working fine, I won't be forking out £60 for the repair till I REALLY need to...
gf
Thank to hear you that everythng it sorted out. its really a magnificent mobile. Do you till got that buzzy sound from the speaker? And that about the digitalizer thats bad, cause its more fragile now, if you have the mobile in your pocket and you apply more pressure u can break the rest of it
TF3D isn't really doing it for me and, while I used my Wizard without any fancy interface for a couple years, I've been spoiled by a couple things and wanted to know about using the TouchFlo from, say, a Tilt.
Firstly, I don't know what it's called. It isn't in the wiki, either... Could someone enlighten me? I'm sure I can find a CAB on my own as long as I know WHAT I'm looking for.
Second, has anyone or is anyone using the above mentioned app on their Raphael? How well does it run?
its the old htc home. ive never used it but they have a vga version that apparently works with the touch pro. do a search for "htc home vga" and youll probably find it.
edit: scratch that. here you go. enjoy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406418
Thank you, Jack! And doubly so for the link. I like the look of it and will more when I choose a nice, black theme to go with it.
Gotta say the sliding tabs at the bottom were addictive. Gotta train myself to just tap now.
hi all. usually i just read the forums or use the search feature, but im stumped on this one.
I have a verizon omnia i910 flashed with adrynaline's m2d cf03 rom.
anyway, i am attempting to load up some gameboy roms (namely pokemon, the best time killer ive ever had, looking to reminisce a bit) but also some gba roms would be nice too...
I have tried pocketGBA and it wont even attempt to install, i've also tried morphgear but i keep getting a 5 minute timer lockout because its the trial. from what i've read its supposidly free and open source now, but i dont know whats up with that.
Does anybody have a free solution? dont be afraid to get technical.. i was on sprint's ATS for 2 years so im pretty sure i could handle anything you guys throw at me.
Moved as not software release.
Hello. I have done all the research I think I can possibly do. I hate to ask away but here goes. Lets start by saying I am some what new to the concept of customizing my device. I started with an iPhone (i know) and decided I was ready to change to Android for more of an experience. I chose the Captivate because it fit my budget, specs were nice, and I've been with AT&T for ten years. I browsed the internet for a couple of weeks and brushed up on the terms, and concepts of rooting my device. I felt I had learned enough and rooted my phone. To tell the truth, being able to use an emulator to play old 8bit games on my phone sold me on the rooting idea. My root works great and I have all the apps I need to maintain it. I am still learning though and have hit a BUMP in the road. I can't get my games to "play". They load fine after being zipped, and look ready to go, but I'm getting no sound, and the "buttons" don't work. It shows the game, with options for 1 player or 2 players, but I am basically stuck. When I click on the screen it just vibrates. I am using the Nesoid emulator. DroidEmuROMget for my ROM (only thing out there I could find since ROMgrabber recently has been removed) and AndroZip to unzip. All this I can do from my phone. My main question out of this BOOK I just wrote is. Am I doing something wrong? Bad ROM? I want to learn what to do, and can't get the right info, so any help is appreciated. Thanks!
