No screen autorotation??? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hi guys, I'm writing because today Ive seen something pretty... disappointing. I'm planning to get the TP2 imediately after its released.
In today's pocketnow software video review of the Diamond2, Brandon mentiones (and shows) that the home screen in TD2 does not auto rotate as expected! So, do you think TP2 will have or not have autorotation? And if not, will there be an easy and simple way to add this feature? (without flashing to Manila or something like that). Im new to WM world, so please forgive me

Ive also asked this question in another thread here..
Touch Pro 2 vs. Touch HD

Well in that case, this thread is redundant.
Thanks
Dave

Cingular 8525 3D Effects 'rom'

I have the 8525 and would love to have the best rom ever especially while this new iphone is coming out. Is there a rom out there that has the best 3D effects for the phone or is someone working on a rom like that. because if we can get are 8525 to have the 3D effects I think that there won't be any phone that can touch ares. the iphone and the new touch phone, that's the only thing '3D effect' they have on us... please let's make everyone know why we are sticking with are 8525's. Thank You!
What the heck please obey forum rules and use the SEARCH FUNCTION
searching forums
I've installed so many ROMS, searched the forums. I know what he means. We've all see the youtube demo of the flashy screen changes. I think I have the perfect rom then its not. Reinstalling new roms and restoring the 50+ apps sucks every time. Yeah, I have SPB backup, but it's worthless on apps with new registry settings.
I've been using modded roms way back on many phones for SEVERAL years. The Iphone will be the best / current phone out. Can't wait till we crack into it. (I know everyone is excited about this.)
I personally use my PDA/phone for business and need everthing to work, and keep on working.
Currently 8525.
I still am craving a true VGA phone with a 850 GSM. The QVGA seems stuck as the main choice.

umm... speak for yourself BigBad... I'm not excited about the iphone at all.. My 8525 does everything it does pluse more. Videos and music? yah we can do that... oh missing the 8gig or whatever? so what, i use orb and have access to my network hard drive in my house which lets me view/listen to 120 gigs of videos/music
The iphone i see it is for consumer whores... Did u see the demo on installed apps through safari? they skip!
i think its a worthless device put together by a briliant team that knows how to suck every penny out of mr. and mrs. average joe!
And NO i am not one of those apple hating windows hard core freaks. I'm currently writing this on my macbook with my hermes connected to windows xp which is running on my macbook through parallels.... i have the best of both worlds and don't see an iphone entering mine anytime soon!
The Iphone
you guys forgot to mention its only 2g!! Only wifi i-net connect, nuff said!!!!!
i'm so sorry being a noob, but honestly i searched and searched every where but i can not find a rom with 3D effects. Maybe you guys are miss understanding me on this...i know they have the rom that has the touch rom and iphone rom 'look a like' but it does not do what the touch htc and iphone does like when the screen turns around and things like that. the only reason i wrote this post was maybe someone can at lease point me in the right place...i currently have black 3.0 and love it.... again i search every where everyday and that's why decided to do this post. don't get me wrong i love everybody's hard work on the roms they do that is amazing, so i'm not dissing anyone...i just wanted the 8525 to be the best that it can be and hopefully have a lot of 3D effects.....SORRY

TouchFlo on Hermes
I Phone not up to Par
The i-phone device thing is inferior in many ways. The only thing it has on the Hermes is that it looks really cute and colorful. The processor on it is only 300 mhz, why go backwards, only 2g. Connectivity-wise not even, please. But again it is cute looking.
My theory...
You know, what if posts like this current thread
as well as posts like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313701
and this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313455
are actually people working for MS trying to piss off the chefs enough so that they will stop sharing their ROMs? Just a thought.
Hate to bring life to a dead thread...but will the hermes ever support touchflo? Is it a hardware limitation?

In the Wizard forum we have gotten a hold of a working wizard rom with touch flo working in it. Ie the cube application with touch spinning it along with the scrolling feature. So I would assume it won't be long before this is ported to the hermes and many other devices...
well if it has already been tested on the hermes where can we download it?

WMP Skins VGA?

Hi all you uni users.
I'm after a few vga wmp skins (as the title may suggest).
I've searched extensively but come up a blank bar one skin thats pretty grim imho.
I'm after something that's kinda black or dark.
Anyone point me in the right direction?
google?
does google ring the bell?
try this
http://www.google.com.mx/search?hl=es&q=vga+wmp&btnG=Buscar+con+Google&meta=
Cheers for the intelligent response. Your ingenuity knows no bounds.
I know its purely personal but i've seen them and they are shoddy.
I guess what i'm after is a vga version of the touch or kaiser skin.
Anyone slightly more helpful around other than googleboy?

googleboy? well yes you can say that... i do use google a lot, but at least im not asking questions i can answer by SEARCHING instead of asking other people to do it for me starting a thread to look for something i dont even know myself (notice that you did not mention what type of skin you were looking for)
if you were more specific about what exactlly you are looking for maybe we can help. (we? wait i was the only one who replied to your stupid thread)
Dont take it personal i was just traying to help, in fact i still do
If you are after the TOUCH look try an application named MELODY (you get the Touch look and feel since you can go thru your list of song scrolling with your finger (and yes it is vga compatible) o know it is not WMP but it does play music.
kaiser look? never seen it.
take a look at this WMP skin if you like it i can "share it" with you
http://classic.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=19625&associateid=17
hopefully this one wont be too shoddy for ya.
best regards.
Erik "the googleboy"
i wasnt trying to be offensive but google seems to be the answer of choice recently.
i'd just assumed that people would realise i'd already googled the search terms in many different guises and then decided to ask for help. Aint that the rule of thumb around these parts?
i'm still relativelty green when it comes to vga stuff.
As far as the one reply goes i think its because noone has the answer.
The qvga skins ported from touch etc haven't been made vga.
Gonna see if i can learn how to do it myself.
*goes to google qvga convert vga*
Cheers for at least replying.
Paul
Honestly having a Good VGA WMP Skins thread isn't such a bad idea.
There simply aren't enough good ones.

New Panel like Toshiba G1 Touch Interface...

Hi Forum Gurus...
Can I request the programming gurus 2 make a new panel for Xperia X1 which is same to Toshiba's 3 Striped Interface (having all features like colour customization, flick-2-change, scroll stripes separately&vertically, choose programs you want 2 show & all you can do on Toshiba G1 touch interface... I can't mention all features caz I may still miss few, in short will say 100% same)
I know this forum is full of blessed programmers, so it won't be a problem for them. Hope to be heard & see this panel soon.
Thanks in advance.
K7
sorry to say that, but people like You are killing this forum. the quickest way of having this interface on Your device is to buy tg01.
... and trust me. this is not the right place to post requests. if any dev will think about porting this to other devices, You'll see the results in developement and hacking section.
Hi Bronx
1stly I apologize for I may have posted request at wrong place due 2 lack of knowledge...
2ndly all I requested to make a similar panel for Xperia JUST LIKE GUYS HAVE MADE TOUCH FLO 3D FOR XPERIA... I didn't request to hack or port Toshiba's software to Xperia... & in last people don't buy a phone just for a single feature... I won't, would you?

TF3D was ported to the xperia...
I think you might be confusing a panel with an program.? like tf3d.
I'm not sure what the tg01 interface is called, but odds are it will be ported to other devices it'll just take time.
try your luck here:

for one thing G1 runs on android

He's just porting programs to panels with the html editor so I don't think this will work for a whole interface like this
All of you are quite confused it looks like...
@ biernes_atrece, he is talking about the TG01 which is a Windows Mobile Device.
@ bronx, How is asking if something can be ported over killing the forum? The only mistake I see here is a post in the wrong forum. All great things start with an idea.
@ killer8nl, I highly doubt that the interface will be ported over, mostly because most people that have used it say it is horrible. Not that it has stopped anyone before. Other things to think about is the TG01 is like a Ferarri, it is very fast. And the X1 is like a nice Nissan or something. It's not bad, but it has nothing on a ferarri and you will never see the same speeds.
The interface could very well be tied to the high end processor that the TG01 has, but I find it unlikely seeing as the interface is quite lacking anyway. Personally I would love to see it ported to my topaz too.
Thanks a lot shadowline...
Being the first post of my life in any forum I posted in wrong place by mistake but I never, by any mean, meant to KILL THIS FORUM. And this 1st reply made me feel bit weird like I shouldn't 've asked 4it...anyways
2ndly you got me right I was talking about Toshiba G01's interface which Windows Mobile device... Currently I am using Touch Diamond 2 & Xperia so like you I 2 would love to see this interface/panel on any (or both) of these mobiles...
I think it should be possible for programmers 2 make a resembling-panel for Xperia X1 which I think so many would love 2 have.
K7
ok. maybe I've over reacted a bit, but still - this forum is beeing overflooded with useless info. the other thing is, that at least op knows now that he should look for a request thread.
ok...what about a clone of this for tf3d???would this be interesting??
if it is i could take it up as my next project!

Isn't it easier to just port the G1 panel instead of make a whole clone?

The TG01 has a 1GHz processor and the X1 has a 528MHz processor
I may be wrong but if the TG01 interface is made to run on a 1GHz processor, try to make it work on a 528MHz processor is like trying to drive at 200MPh with a BMW 325TDS just because a Ferrari Enzo can do it

new to the Rhodium community

hey everyone, im just stopping by since im starting to pull towards the TP2 after watching several review videos on it, but anyways im here to ask a couple questions about the touch pro 2.
since the TP2 doesnt have an LED flash, how important is the LED flash to you guys??
also how good of the quality of build does this device have? does it feel really solid and how also the tilt feature, how delicate is that?
the 1500mah battery, how great is the life on that?
and finally(for former TouchPro/Fuze users) is this worth upgrading?
would like to look foward from hearing from all you guys over here.
thnx
oh cmon guys, im looking forward to buying this device but i need some info first
I just switched from a Fuze. The Tilt2 is MUCH better. Stock AT&T ROM is much snappier than the stock Fuze ROM. Signal is SIGNIFICANTLY better. Screen is amazing. And lastly the speakerphone on the Fuze was pretty crappy, but this one is just fantastic.
In my opinion it is well worth the upgrade. You won't be sorry
If you search the forums there are alot of useful threads comparing the 2 devices.
Do you need the keyboard? Because HD2 will have a 1GHz processor...
Also, the RAM is quite few. Only 188MB available, and TF3D eats more than 54% of it...
well im kind of teetering between slimness or the use of a good keyboard, the 1GHZ seems like a promising procesor speed for the leo, the only thing is i hope FCC approves it, but for the mean time the tilt 2 seems like a good device to have for a little awhile, like i mentioned in the first post the lack of LED Flash is holding me back from buying the tilt 2, u guys got any other thoughts on the device?
Hi & Welcome,
For these generic questions, you'd find more help in the "Got Mine" sticky thread. It also helps keep the forum organised .
Thread Closed.
Thanks

About to buy a Touch Pro 2

Hey guys, im coming from android to the winmo world, because im kind of getting tired of it.
i love having keyboards, and a nice solid feeling phone, therefore i went for the Rhodium.
I have 1 question though. I have had some abusive ex-girlfriends who always try to call and text me, and of course it upsets my current girlfriend and myself. Android has an app called Super Private Conversation(SPC), which allows you to blacklist certain numbers, and it automatically sends calls from that number to your voicemail, and it marks you sms messages as a private conversation, therefor you never get a notification.
anyways, my question is, if i get the Touch Pro 2, is there a way to block calls and sms from certain numbers?
thanks!any help is appreciated!
*edit: Also, im sorry if i have posted this in the wrong section, im not used to this part of the forum, so please move it accordingly. thanks!
Blackballer
interesting. i would buy android now. tp2 is ok i suppose, just way too slow. the timor rom is faster than the original tmobile rom. still, tp2 need 50% faster cpu.
what you did not like in the android?
sorry, i have no answer to your question.
check this also
http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/board/1629/block-unsolicited-incoming-calls-with-call-block-1-01.html
there are many apps for WM, .. btw, have you considered Samsung OmniaPro B7610? ... it has QWERTY keyboard 800MHz Processor, AMOLED Display, and ofcourse Windows Mobile 6.5.
read some reviews and compare Touch Pro2 with OmniaPro B7610 before you make your final decision
cheers
Thanks for the replies guys!
There is not one thing i dislike about android, honestly. But im on tmobile for another year and a half, and im not a fan of their mobile selection. I currently have the Moto Cliq, but it doesnt have enough development surrounding it, and its very slow and laggy. The G1 is outdated. And the new nexus one doesn't have a keyboard.
So really, im just looking for the nicer phone with the most customization, and i feel as if i will get that with the touch pro 2
Try Ringo. Ringo can assign different ring tones including silence for both calls and SMS. I am happy with it.

just wait, with the cliq being rooted now, there are devs that are working fast to get custom ROMs out. I know there are ppl like justanotherdev working and manup456 and CC are working also. modmymoto.com is a good place to check out cliq developments if you havent been there yet, check it out. it may save your cliq.
