Hello dear friends! I am new to this forum.
...Well not entirely new as i was reading up things here already...
1. Is there a way to change the font color of the home screen? (Some backgrounds are too bright)
2. Why is the wallpaper quality (home screen) worse compared to the quality when you open directly?
3. Is it possible to use the small qwerty layout when using GSen, so that you can write with both hands? It would surely speed up writing.
4. Is it possible to update things such as wheather info and the rss hub as soon as the device is connected to the internet via activesync? Both things need the user to start the update...
5. btw: Is there a better rss program avaiable?
6. Is there a way to write sms with outlook?
7. Is there a free dictionary avaiable on the internet (englisch<->german et vice versa)?
8. Is there a calculator which a) looks better b) the ability to plot / solve equations? (i already know "realcalculator")
9. Is there a program that is better than the explorer from microsoft? (I hate that there is no "back button"!)
10. Is there an snes emulator? (I have a snes and 40+ games. I just want to play some mario kart... )
Best regards
p.s. As a little gift because I am new here, I'll provide some of my self-made wallpapers. I hope you like them.
hi and welcome
and thanks
ehm, i can't answer all your questiosn since i only got my Diamond yesterday, but, i'll answer what i can.
4. the weather issue seems to want to connect off a data connection from the phone... so i don't know if theres a fix, but i have not seen one.
5. try spb insight
8. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411561 has a much better looking calculator imo
9. try installing SPB pocket plus to boost your default xplorer's capabilites. otherwise, try resco explorer (pay for it) or Total commander (free)
10. Pocket SNES is the one... Look for the TNT 19209 rom's Vanilla fun package in the Wizard Rom forum, or google for it.
where can i get SNES Roms from? if it isnt allowed to speak of them then im sorry in advance
Thanks
hey dude, here. It'll get you started. Please try not to post stuff in threads that doesn't apply to the topic of the thread. You might end up on the wrong end of Jimmy's Hammer!

Many thanks iceblade911 and Vampire2800!
It would be nice if someone has an idea for number one. :/
I can hardly read the tasks one the home screen...
Thanks in advance!
I´ve been thinking this for long but since I cant code anything I decided to make a request on this forum. Everyone who played Wario Ware on the Nintendo DS knows what kinda fun it is for touchscreen devices to play short quick minigames. My idea is to create something similar like this. As example a minigame appears for about 3-5 sec and then a loading screen switches to the next minigame which could be done in "modules" so the community can also create their own games There are billions of different ways the games can have. I have some nice ideas in my mind which I tried to draw in few cheap screenshots. I also made a video to demonstrate the interaction.
So is any programmer/dev interested in doing this? I guess Im not the only one which would appreciate the work
Thanks for future replys and feedback!
Regards
Sercio

I was impressed with the funny and inovative games that the DS came up with.
Flash would be a great tool for this on future machines, on the current ones its simply too slow for the animations.
a DS emu wouldnt hurt either.
The concept looks amazing.
+1 for this thread.
Wow, yesterday i was playing wario ware and was thinking the same thing...
It would be great if someone makes this
3 months and still no useful progress?
Come on guys...
No progress because nobody is working on this ;/
The easier way to do this is in Flash, there are a lot of online flash games out there already. Just grab a few examples and stich them together.
Like this example...
FINGER:
TO USE:
--------
- Just copy the EXE into your device and run it.
- Up or DOWN to change quality, ENTER to exit application.
- The time is still buggy... :/
This is not my game, its a online game I found, I just changed it a little for our devices.
Needs flash 7 (not lite, not buggy lite, not lite and a half, seven!).

Nice. How do you convert flash games to run on ppc? (btw, why is it not that smooth?)
Thanks for the quote, I would never understand what you ment whithout it, lol.
I use SOTHINK DECOMPILER to turn the SWF into FLA
Then FLASH CS4 to optimize the file, rotate it/add more options/sounds/bigger buttons/etc
And finally Bryht FlashApp Builder to turn the swf into a WM EXE.
Its kinda smooth on my 400 mhz machine, not as smooth as it is on my PC, of course. Flash isnt great on low mhz devices or bad video drivers (hint, HTC)...
Oooh... that explains a lot. I'm using a HTC Touch HD. Absolute horrendous video drivers.
Now i'll go try and convert some games
@ twolf:
Thats a nice Game / flash and exact the kind of stuff I was looking at... Well the idea of using flash is brilliant!
Maybe someone´s able to create a main executable which loads those flash modules so it can be a fluent game switch as like in "wario ware"...
Im thinking big of this
hey, twolf, for some reason the bryht flash player couldnt convert the swf to ppc exe format it only converts it to PC projector format. Could you say, help me convert this
http://www.funny-games.biz/paper-toss.html ?
You need to export it on flash 6 or 7.
Yeah, its a flash 7 swf movie. However when I publish it on bryht flashapp builder, it comes out as a PC .exe file which cannot be run on my ppc
Would be nice to have a collection of Flash Apps converted to our phones. Flash is a powerful thing. I love working in flash. There are also some great apps to be made. Most of the apps on the iPhone are basically flash based.

yeah, maybe you could provide a list of games which are ppc friendly so they can be converted?
Again...
Is it possible to create those games as kinda like "modules" so we dont have to exit and run each time to switch the apps ?
A simple "gallery chooser" can be done, but the flashes would need to follow certain rules. So, yes its possible, now bring it on...
hi,
This is a beta of my second game Spaceman. I am having limited time to develop this game as my work is very busy. Instead of not releasing it i though i would as it is still playable at beta version (tested on HTC tp2 and SE x1).
This is a Shooting game, think space invaders.
It is WVGA ONLY
In the .rar u will find the spaceman .cab + spaceman .exe (for people who dont want to install a cab) + Ganondolfs Adventure .cab (my first game, also WVGA ONLY) and a .txt file.
I am currently unable to get a screen shot of the game but if anyone who downloads it would upload a pic i would appreciate it.
Link:

Thanks
Here you go Gandolf. Not a bad start at all! I didn't get very far on spaceman, but I only tried it for a few minutes. Would it maybe be possible to have it so holding one of the directional buttons keeps you moving in that direction, instead of having to taptaptap a whole bunch? That would make it a little easier for me at least
Thanks for the contribution, I always love user-created content like this!
First 2 pics are spaceman, 2nd pair is Adventure, natch
Great work on both I must say, keep it up! As a graphic designer I must object to the wanton use of a swirlywirly font in the menus. Easier reading
Hello thread i just installed morphgear into my HTC LEO and WOW!!! what a difference! i have had previosly the htc hd 1 and its a big change, so quick, even the sound is bearable i forget after a while that its not perfect. love it.
One problem though! In the GBA rom Zelda: Minish cap, the game always freezes in the beginning when i enter Minish Woods, no idea why same thing on my htc hd 1 any ideas what could be causing this?? thank you
oh ps: the pokemon games seem to not be able to save:S
the games are incredibly fun now with multitouch, but this stops me, help please!!
maybe ur rom is corrupt? u should download another of the game..
oh, and in the pokemon games.. try using the integrated savefunction of morphgear.. its faster and better ^.^ almost never save my games without it..
yeah, +1 for what the previous guy said, pokemon saves for me if i use morphgear but not the start menu option. I'd forgotten how addictive that crap is!
Sounds like a duff rom, had the same problem with revenge of shinobi for the mega drive (genesis, for those across the water) downloaded a different rom and all is well.
Now my days at work just fly by, makes mincemeat of my battery though!
Thanks for the reply!! Helps alot! with the pokemon games.
But ive downloaded a different rom from a different site, even different sizes MB wise and exactly the same problem?
any more ideas?
Again its specifically a problem with Zelda: Minish Cap, when entering Minish woods at the beginning after princess zelda turns to stone.
love morphgear on my Hd 2 with multitouch but this specific game gives me a problem, its frustrating considering as another member said before its very ¨addicting¨ XD
UPDATE: Fixed the problem, after Princess Zelda turns to stone, don't go directly to Minish Woods, go south like if you were going back home, the road will be blocked and talk to one of the workers, then go to Minish Woods, this way its doesn't freeze, STRANGE!! but works so I'm happy
Hope this helps!!
wow! i want to play too! but i am stuck trying to install. anyone can help. please.

Hello, its not to hard here are the steps to install it correctly, again this way positively works for htc hd 2 and htc hd 1.
Step 1: go to the morphgear webpage at http://www.spicypixel.com/web/page/morphgear/Home.aspx. go to the download tab and find the Windows Mobile - Download Version 2.3.0.2 (MorphGear ,Modular game and emulation engine.)
it should come in a .cab just pass it over to your phone, and install it either into the sd card or phone memory.
Ps, if you have an HTC HD 2 they have ported it with bigger buttons and instructions on how to add the multitouch gamepad here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593464 trust me its not that difficult, its really not (Oh and by the way the morphgear engine(program .cab) cames with the snes module already activated)
Step 2: on the morphgear website download any of the modules you'd like GBA, SNES, etc and install that into your phone.
Step 3: Open the program (it should be under games, or programs list) click the image on the right of a joystick you can choose your settings, sound no sound etc.
Step 4: now that you have everything set up find yourself a rom, google search example: GBA ROMS (or any other system) and download it should be a zip file.
Step 5: after you have downloaded place it into your phone, then open morphgear and click the folfer image on the left, find your .zip game and PLAY.
PS: imorphgear is a payed aplication, you can have the snes module free and activated in the link above, but for the other you have to find a code, (private message me if you want a GBA Code).
Also on the link above for the HTC HD 2 scren settings dont change, unless you do it with the registry, not ard either just have to do it, I changed it too full screen works great with game pad.
NOw you have all the games to your hearts desire and on The HTC LEO they are fastttttt.
Good luck!
Great Alex! Will definitely try this now! Thanks for the guide. will keep you updated.
UPDATE!!!:
Many users have been asking how to change the settings on their HTC Leo in Morphgear.
Here are the steps:
1) You need to have a registry editor, I use PHM Registry Editor, which can be found here http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=31. ( you can use others but thats the one thats simplest for me.
2)After instalation, you can go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Morphgear, Then you pick your console and edit whatever you want.
3) For me the best setting for my leo where: Go to the steps above and click any of the consoles, y use mostly GBA so: HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Morphgear, Gameboyadvanced, then you scrool down and to screen size and change the value from 100% to WINDOW SIZE. Thats the best for HTC LEO in my opinion.
4) If you want to use the d-pad WVGA-MT-Dredd67 v0.3 (Exelent by the way since it has multitouch and its very finger friendly) Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489147 follow the instructions put the files in the right folder.
5) after your done go to the registry editor and again go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Morphgear, Gameboyadvanced(or any console) and go to PADSKIN change the default and Write exactly the name of the pad skin you downloaded in this case WVGA MT Pad v0.3 by Dredd67.
then press ok to change.
Now restart your phone if youd like or just make sure your out of morphgear and then start it up again, the settings should be there.
PS: Once you start the game the D-Pad will show up when you tap the screen.
Good Luck hope this helps.
+ 1 for the great patience and support. Thanks mate.
I'm having the same problem with the pokemon saving in the emulator. I used the state save that Morphgear provides, which works fine, but then I beat Elite Four and the game just exited out. So my only options are either start a new game or keep on playing from where I last saved before Elite Four. It doesn't put me back at my house in the game like it's supposed to. Help anyone? There has GOT to be a way to save in-game!!!
I'm new to the forum, so sorry if a thread like this has been made before, I'm assuming it has, but I was just wanting to know what I can do to make my HD2 a little bit more cooler such as in mods, changes, hacks, etc. the only thing I have is Cookie's Home Tab.
I've seen some ROMs that are amazing but I'm just unsure if some are safe or reliable and won't give me bugs or crashes, so if any one can show me some that are really good with no problems that would be great. Also, is it easy to switch ROMs or go back to stock easily?
Lastly, this is my 1st ever smart phone so I don't know of any good apps, are there any you guys recommend?
I find switching roms easy. Just make sure you back up all your important info and keep cabs of important/fun software.
For hacks look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629388
but stay away from HKLM/System/StorageManager/FATFS/CacheSize To: 65536
it tends to mess with other things within the phone.
Bsb Tweaks is nice too.

Flashing new roms is a must!!!! If alone just to remove all the tmo garbage from the phone, then everyone uses a phone differently and there is a rom out their that will work flawlessly for what you need it for. So first thing you need to do put in the HSPL3 and flash a cool tmo HD2 rom. The HD2 roms will not work on the TMO HD2's. You must find a rom that says for TMOHD2, or specifically says for tmobile HD2. Now after you find the rom you like the best that best suites you , heres a list of software I could never live without.
1. Coreplayer - This will play any downloaded video on the internet in full resolution with no dropped frames.
2. Google Maps
3. Mortplayer and AAC and WMV plugins - Great music player that will play about anything crystal clear with great bookmarking system.
4. Youtube
5. PS1 Emultator - HD2 plays PSX games better then a psx, runs almost everything I've tried in full resolutions at 60fps. You can even use a ps3 wireless controller with it or a wii-mote.
6. GPSRadar - This downloads radar by gps location, you can use the GPS or manually enter location.
7. Endkey enhancment
8. File explorer Etention mod, but I don't' run this anymore because it causes me to crash if I end it trought task manager.
Not sure of more but If I think of any I will let you know.
