HCT Touch Cube thingy

Has anyine managed to do a ROM like the new HTC Touch PDA? Would this work on my XDA Exec? Or can someone help me put the iphone theme on my XDA.
Thanks

Come on, at least look on the same page before you ask questions. The same thin's being asked further down.
Basic answer is tough luck for now, nobody has made VGA versions of either.

Thanks alot bulldog.
AJ Im very new to this forum so please excuse me, if someone else has posted the same question. It would be nice if u were to keep you comments civil.

Oh I'm so sorry, I had no idea being new somewhere means you are unable to read the other questions posted on the very same page.
I'll bear this in mind from now on.
Thanks to enlightening me to this terrible affliction that must strike users with less than several days, or posts on their profile.

now now ladies, back to your corners.

Be warned for using these 2 apps!!

Yesterday, i've installed these 2 apps in hopes of improving my battery life on my HTC Touch Pro. However, not only did both not work or has no effect, but it also screwed up my fone, VERY BADLY.
These are the apps:
http://mobile.dlugosz.net.pl/Products/BatteryGuard/tabid/59/Default.aspx
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478519
I'm not saying they're crap or anything, but they just don't work for me and screwed up my fone so i'm just posting this as a warning for you guys. Also, i hope someone has a solution to this, coz right now my only solution is to do a hard reset.
The problems i get is that the screen rotation doesn't work anymore when i slide out the hardware keyboard, also when i press the power button, it doesn't turn the screen off. I haven't changed the function that the power on button is assigned to, so by default it should turn the screen off and i like it so i kept it that way. But now, it doesn't turn off.
What's worse, is that shutdown and soft reset don't work at all, i have to pull out the battery to turn it off.
And even worse, it drained my battery from 100% to about 10% in less than 2 hours when i have everything off. It pissed me off so bad. I dunno if anyone else have the same problem as me but for those of you who haven't tried it yet, be warned.
And btw, i'm using a HTC Touch Pro GSM version so it works with the programs as stated in the instructions in those topics.

What phone are you using?
This is what this app has to say:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478519
NOTICE: This software is only for the GSM variants of these devices: MSM7xxx based devices, Samsung i900 Omnia, Samsung i780 !!
NOTICE: This is a pre-alpha testing version. It's not nearly close to ready for full-time use. This topic is primarily to discuss possibilities... Code is proof-of-concept stage. You should NOT run this app fulltime!
This might have been the source of your problems.

Please learn to read be4 u post, I stated my phone model at the start and end of the sentence, dunno how u could've missed that....but i'll say it again, i'm using HTC Touch Pro GSM version.
And in the topic, it said this, u didn't read properly again.
Device list
This program is known to work on, GSM versions only:
HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris)
HTC TyTN II (Kaiser)
HTC Touch Diamond
HTC Touch Pro (Raphael)
HTC Touch HD
HTC Touch Diamond II (Topaz)
HTC Touch Pro II (Rhodium)
Samsung i780
Samsung Omnia
Sony Ericsson Xperia X1
Palm Treo Pro

So it's not JUST for the Samsung Omnia or i780......

DUDE?!
dude, come on what is it with you?
I appreciate your not saying the apps crap but seriously why start a thread to warn people about what the app did to your phone?
Yes that is slagging of the app and putting the guy who created this down- chainfire works his ****ing ass off- creating stuff and giving back to the community. It's people like him that keep this community going, and have you seen the donation stars next to his name????
Threads like this will just get people like chainfire and other to say "**** it" why bother.
Man the right way to go about this would have been to post on that thread, what it did to your device. help him learn so he can better his device application - that post is on the general forum, what you think they are going to come to this thread to read you winge?
an a closing note- anything you flash/install/copy onto/throw at your device has a chance of crashing it, or even bricking it. If you cant be asked doing a hard reset if something goes wrong, go buy an iphone! they never crash or bump out..............

what you should do is go onto that thread and thank him for his hard work....
il even go and do it.

i think the Raphael uses less battery on 3G standby than 2G standby... just my usage so far indicates that

Because posting a reply in a topic that has over 50 pages is just tedious and annoying. People won't read every page and reply to the questions and it's important problems/bugs that i experienced that should be best post in a new topic to let people know. I never said his apps are crap, i'm just posting this as a warning to let others know as not everyone will read through every page of his topic, and not everything posted in his topic are related to bugs/problems either, some are just suggestions etc.
It's like trying to go through pages after pages of replies in the Rom Development topics, it's very annoying. I find a lot of questions unanswered in those topics coz after just 1 hour or so, new replies are added and the page is then updated up to 4 pages more and it's just plain annoying. Nobody answers all the questions in topics like that and it's just pointless.
And as a matter of fact, i've installed heaps of stuff on my fone and this is the first app to cause this problem. Even the chinese fonts etc didn't cause me any problems, and they're the most easiest ways to brick a fone.
Lastly, I did not in anyway try to "slag" the app or disrespect the creator of w/e, i appreciate his work and i get that heaps of ppl support him etc etc, but i'm merely posting this problem just to warn ppl, as well as hoping for a solution because it's quicker to get responds in a new topic anyway.
But i already got it solved by updating to a new rom, and luckily, the Energy Rom was updated 2 days ago so i needed the update anyway.

Did u notice the first line of the post?
Note this is a BETA version and will have issues.
Also, did you search that thread for your issues? maybe someone else has experienced them and found solutions.
Maybe your issues are caused by a combination of apps that you have installed making it a rare case.
I'm just saying its not right to go and blast these apps when there are a bunch of people using them and not experiencing the problems your having.

I support "chaoscreater"
I support "chaoscreater" because of what he answered:
- He did not post it on a thread that is too long and probably the message will not get to who it was supposed to go to .... US USERS that COULD end up BRICKING OUR phones and loosing our time.
- So this way people can be aware through a BETTER WARNING.
- Last ....... "chaoscreater" you should post it in the thread so the developer can work it and improved it.
So no harm, just he missed to mention if he did or did not post it in the APP thread.
Do not bug him for being responsible.
Uhh! and THANK YOU FOR THE WARNING.

[Q] Endymion v3.3 - Control Center permissions..

Hello everybody,
I'm sorry to post this here, but it appears that I don't have enough post to be able to reply in developpement section...
This is a question regarding Lowveld's rom named Endymion v3.3 for Desire S,
and the installation of patched "endymion control center" apk from his thread's 2nd post ...
Why this app is requesting acces to "paid service" in android ? like sms and direct phone number calling ?
Can someone who can please post this question in Endymion Rom thread...
thx to all

Well, if it's asking for it, it's because I forgot to remove them. There's nothing in Control Center needing those permissions, but as I started the app from an HTC template, it was probably there in the manifest and I forgot all about it.
The only permissions the Control Center actually needs (I think, I don't have the code here) are WRITE_SETTINGS to store some global stuff used by tweaks, and the one to access sdcard, which I don't remember the name. Next version I'll remove the unneeded permissions.
By the way, that question was a bit paranoid on your part. It's sort of ok to doubt something downloaded from market or other sources, but you have to trust the dev which built your rom. The reason is, anything I include in /system, with any permissions whatsoever, will be automatically accepted by the android package manager process. Apps can be made invisible to the app drawer with no effort at all, etc.
Bottom line: there would be many other ways to screw you over without actually asking you to install something and having you agree on it.
Cheers

Hello to everyone.
Many thanks for your deep involvement in getting an answer to my question.
I feel sorry about the emotions engendered by this question and I must say it now because I did'nt already as I more of a reader than a poster...
"Muito Obrigado" Lowveld for your amazing work that I use since the first hyperion..
I'm still "*****in" with my phone every WE since 4 month because I cannot decide wich one of your 3 roms to keep for daily use...
I'm not a devellopper no an IT guy, just a "geeky tech enthusiast" like many. Getting knowledge from what I read/see on the interweb.
True that a bit of "paranoid" thinking forwarded my question, but the answer is satisfying and understandable, as well as the approval of all users community..
Please keep up the good work !
(and please update Hyperion wich is still the best, battery-wise & big-fingers-wise !)
with Kind Regards ..

Hey,
Don't worry mate, really no harm done! It was just that I spend lots of time doing stuff for these roms, and maybe overreacted a bit.
Thing is, to a new user, asking for those permissions can really sound suspicious, so thanks for the heads up. But I do hope people that have been following my work for the last months think better of me...
Cheers

Time to bury the hatchet. It's all sorted out now.
Welcome to Endymion. If you stick around long enough, you'll find we're very decent folk out here at Endy... finish those darn 10 posts and head on over to the Endy thread. I'm sure you will have other questions to ask...

With all the fuss over various things If i was in your shoes i would have probably felt jumpy too.

[q] help from me on xda or in pm/gtalk ?

I help A LOT of people here on xda all day everyday some donate some don't. its very hard to help people on xda cus when helping them other people jump in and start either telling the person im helping don't do that do this or they just plain old spam. i have helped a very large amount of people on g talk and they have told me they like to be helped MORE on g talk than on xda because we have 100% full privacy to do what we need to do. please choose how you like to be helped Either xda or PM or g talk. at the end of the week ill count all of them up and from the results i will help people based on the results on this thanks very much.

To put the poll into better context I believe that you should also read this thread Although I've quoted the relevant posts below:
ben_pyett said:
Hello, Paul,
Firstly, thanks (again) for your input into the forum. I'm genuinely not intending to create conflict here or trying to play the role of a mod. Now, I know that you've had this sort of comment before, but, I agreed with it then and I'm afraid that I still do.
While at times the PM route can be useful to resolve issues, it shouldn't be the only or primary option. The whole principle of XDA is openness and sharing, so resolving an issue in thread permits that the next user(s) (and there is always another, who suffers from the exact same problem) from hopefully using the Search function and then following the resolution from the thread by themselves.
That way we're working towards creating a valuable resource rather than loosing useful input into hidden PMs.
PM's do have there place for 'user to user' communication, that would otherwise populate the forum unnecessarily but once a thread has been created I believe that it should be used to reolve the original issue.
If a new user needs that much hand holding then one wonders whether they should be risking their £200-£400 device in the first place! before reading up some more....

me helping people over PM is better because its faster and more safer for the person im helping. if im trying to guide him then other people jump in and comment he isnt going to know who to listen to and he will get very confused. this has happend before. by helping over PM or my gmail is better for them, and me. and i ALWAYS ask them after to write a guide as to how i helped them and what they did. i at NO point mean to upset anyone. but you have got to understand that this is the only way that i can help these people as you may well know here on xda people have got there opinions and they like to jump in whenever they want. if i tell him to do somthing some1 might jump in and say no or do this and do that. i have had EVERYONE i have helped say thanks to me and its better this way. i have helped MANY people achieve proper s-off. i will no open a poll. and it will ask the people of xda if they would prefer to be helped via PM or Gtalk or on here. if more people prefer xda then i will start helping via xda

As someone whom Paul has helped through gtalk, It was very beneficial to me as we were able to quickly and easily communicate, as any other method is rather slow and crude. I definitely do agree with your point on xda being a repository for information however, therefore communicating through gtalk or similar could withhold information from other users. However I have now written up a short guide of what I did to solve my problem on the original thread, and I believe that if people do this then everyone wins tbh, and it has the added advantage of the treads being shorter and more concise, therefore it is easier to find the relevant information.

As someone who has done all his stiff by reading through threads and others opinions, I will always advocate all discussions on XDA
Sent from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3. WAKE UP HTC!!!!

On the 16th the poll will close and whatever the winning method is thats the way i will help people from now on. i do wish ALL people will take something out of the way i help them. as me getting them properly s-off uses alot of things like commands running adb , fastboot and so on. by helping them do these things it then in turn helps them. as if i didnt help them and they needed to to adb or fastboot commands and they never knew howto that could result in a not needed thread being opened **How to use adb or fastboot** this is a good way for me to help these people. i think people should help people the way they do and let other people carry on with the ways they do things. ( no offence meant ben your opinion means alot to me your a good person ) but if it states in the rules ( only help people on xda ) then i will stop if it dont then i will carry on as im not doing anything wrong. and even so if you guys think your losing out on infomation. i will open up a guide covering absolutly EVERYTHING on the desire s from fastboot adb changing roms,splash,radio,hboot and covering everything on what the desire s is capable of doing. what limits it has and other things. this in a sense will be the desire s XDA user guide let me know if u think thats a good isea ben. and as i go along anything i help people out with thats not in the new guide ill just update it ????????????

I do but there are already several threads like this, so one must be careful not to pollute the forum with too many similar guides which would just lead to further confusion.

There is the Complete Tutorial for beginners and others, but I'm guessing yours would be a more technical and slightly more advanced version?

yes ur right mine would cover EVERYTHING that is possible with our device. from s-off to installing app's and even radio flashing fastboot adb the lot. EVERYTHING will be in sections. with sections about all developers themers contributors. what projects that are currently under development and it can also act like a news forum. like if you want to know whats happening in the most recent roms go to this thread and find your rom and you will be able to keep upto date with whats going on. this will be called DESIRE S ADVANCED USER THREAD. this will house everything for our device. from what roms are currently avalible and everything. im going to start this thread now i think this thread when its done will be the best thread about our device on xda

The one thing I would say though, is rather than re-invent not just the wheel but the car, I'd recommend that you source, link and reference as much of the existing documentation where ever possible.

Guides done i have posted it now and ill carry it on as i go along

hey guys, Would just like to add to this After searching throughout the forum day and night i got what information i needed to root and s-off my desire s. After following all the instructions letter by letter i was still have errors and problem after problem. paul.robo kindly asked me if i wanted his help and i accepted using Gtalk. I can not begin to express at how helpful he was and was there to guide me through each error. After a good few steps i finally got to where i wanted to be. In no way was i able to find out why i was having these errors if he weren't there to check them as it was happening. To go through this in forum style replys would take days and to much work. Gtalk is a brilliant and direct help for occasions like these and would recommend his help and wisdom to all. Thanks again mate Much appreciated

Dude - edit the OP and change the damn font. It is very difficult to read when you do stupid things like that and I'm not even going to bother trying to read it and help you.
There is a default font setting which is perfectly adequate for most things, so I'd suggest you use it if you expect people to take you seriously.
And as this is the 6th different type of phone about which you have posted asking for help since you joined in October 2011, I have serious doubts about what you are actually doing.

XDA may be the best source of assistance, but you just come here, ask for help and then leave - you have not attempted at any point to help anyone else or to be part of the 'community'.
The answers to all your questions are out there already - search on Google, it's not difficult.
