http://www.windows8italia.com/2011/05/windows-8-bluepoison-official-download.html - 404, is link good?
I think video is too long, you could just say that we need to open regedit and change all occurences value of Display1_DownScalingSupported to 1 and reboot, but anyway thanks!
Btw is it possible to keep original DPI? To make it scrollable, not scaled, it's not very comfortable to see 3:4 ratio on 16:9 screen.

Really don't need to change the resolution. You can add any photo to a contact, and the system resize for you...only need to make the face visible for recognice the caller
Test it...
ok, this means i dont have to change the resolution, but with proportion should this pictures have? square? 4:3?

I beleave the best is the same resolution as the device...but you can test some diferent resolutions and post the results.
I never take care about the resolution before, but perhaps this is an interesting thing to take care...

yes, i have tried it now, the best proportion is 4:3 (portrait format).
so you can use for example 2MBit pictures, because 1600:1200 is 4:3, but you must rotate it 90 degrees that you have it in portrait format.
thx for your help.

I use PhotoContacts 5, and think this app can be helpfull for you, so you can view larger photo callerID with larger resolutions.

Screen Shots

How are you guys taking those screen shots of your homepage etc on the dash and getting them on the comp.
Thanks!
there are a few programs...some of us use smarttoolkit...which is what i use, but there are other programs out there....
e-natives.com for smarttoolkit.
So, directions On how to install? I got the zip file, but what to do next?

I would advice you use SmartToolKit RC08 as it works well with the dash, can be downloaded @ http://www.neilmorgan.co.uk/btbbanywhere/closing_applications.htm. Place this file on phone via active sync or beam via bluetooth find it via Filemanager on phone and click on and install. You will need to go into it's options to get it to load @ startup.
Hope this helps.
More software available @ http://www.neilmorgan.co.uk/btbbanywhere/software_good.htm
I've been wondering about this myself... After getting a screen capture on SmartToolkit, how do you get the bitmap to display in your post as a thumbnail? For some reason, I can only get it to be an attachment--but I want it to be visible to everyone as they scroll past my post.

hmm, I've never had a problem with this. All i do is take the screen shot, then put the xx.bmp on the desktop, upload it as an attachment and viola, it's there
if you want, i'll do it right now.
EDIT: I just realized what i did, open image in paint, save it as jpeg and upload the jpeg. it should work fine
Good Luck !
I like "My Mobiler". Free app, runs from your desktop and allows you to control your phone screen and save screenshots directly to your PC.

Are you running WM 6.1/Vista? I'm having trouble connecting it. Ok, i tried everything but it just does not connect, Ahh - Even tried connecting from the phone. Nothing happens. Just says connecting but never ends up connecting.
Can someone else try it out & tell me if it's working for them or not?
You know what, It's the damn firewall in vista but even after i turned it off, it's not working.
Oh well, nevermind
VISTA SUCKS - There you go, had to say it.

I use Smart SS
http://www.louterrailloune.com/smartss/
I also notice that there is now Smart SS+
http://www.louterrailloune.com/smartss-2/
I like that it is a small specific app without all the other junk like Smart Tool Kit. Not that I don't like Smart Tool Kit but it has a lot of stuff in it and if all you want is a screen shot than this app will do.
Seems like SMart SS+ will allow you to take .png and .jpeg as well as .bmp
Thanks for all the links guys, I will def try these out.

eBookLauncher (new homescreen)

I have finally got a nook
so, I have started porting my Sony homescreen replacement to work on the nook
so far it can get the list of books and shelves (collections), but not much else.
http://code.google.com/p/sonyprst1home/
I'll try to keep this thread updated with how it's going
please let me know if you would like to test this out (I can send you an apk to install)
All new releases will now be made on the google code page above.
it would be grat to have the apk and some screenshot
i would be interested to see a screen shot...
Awesome! Time to test it! I'm at school right now, so this is probably a terrible idea, but I might as well have something to do, right?
Edit: Have some screen shots. Ignore the 10:16 in corner of all the screen shots, I have an app that does that. (Sorry for the massive post)
Mini-Library / Homescreen
Pressing Menu on the Homescreen
Pressing "My Home Settings" here brings you to this screen
Library
Apps Page 1
Apps Page 2
It still seems to have various elements in color besides the app icons and the book covers.

Only the main page, books and collections screen have been worked on so far.
I haven't even opened the other screens yet, so opening them could do anything (including crash)
It is worked ! , thank you

if you use the apk from this thread, it uses a different method of accessing the database, and doesn't need permissions changed on the database file.
Wow, I love this forum!!
From what Googie posted, I can see this is another cool thing to try out.
Now to get an SD card.

Wow, thanks for the great work. Really nice application for too many books and collections.
However, as the project was opensource, are you going to release the modified source somewhere? in a branch or tag or something?
I would like to see the screensaver feature working for last launched book, would try myself if the code was available.
the code is already available at the google code site in the first post

As you mentioned the APK here has a different way of accessing some file, and I don't see a tag or branch for the nook, I understand that the code is the one for the PRS-T1, correct me if I am wrong.
It's the same code. I am making a single apk that will run on a Sony and a nook (and other devices in future)
First general release (0.1.0.00) which runs on both the Nook and Sony is now available on my google code page.

Rear view camera ruler

Is there a way to adjust the rear view ruler? Because mine is too short and useless. In some youtube video they changed the angle of the ruler and the distance betwin the yellow and red lines but with no explanation.
I have Px5 6.0.1 android mxc89l hct20170512
Thanx.
If there is it will be in the 'Factory Settings' area of the 'Settings' menu.
Password to enter the 'Factory Settings' is usually 126
looked there and didn't find it

This was a good explanation of how to do it but the link is not working for me.
You have to create a replacement image of the guidelines to replace the existing one.

that's a great idia! I will try that. Thank you.
Any thought about the curving ruller the one that moves when you twist the steering wheel?
I have not seen a mod that achieves that yet, I think that it would require information coming from the can bus and probably a new apk.

Plenty of info on root here if you search or if compatible with your HU install Malaysk rom, it has root already.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/mtcd-software-development/rom-malaysk-roms-mtcd-device-t3598908
Or you can use Kingoroot for rooting your original ROM.
For Android 6 use Kingoroot Version 4.2.8
solved! Nudelsose helped me and his version did the root! thank you.
