QVGA theme on a WVGA Touch HD possible ?? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi
I'm trying to run this theme on my new HTC Touch HD,
http://www.iphonethemeforppc.com/
and only after purchasing (doh) realised that my Touch HD has a WVGA screen ! Is there any way I can fool the HD into running this theme by tweaking the resolution, or have I wasted my money, as obviously the theme runs in completely the wrong size (tiny icons) on my screen.
Hope there is a way, as I think it's pretty cool app. At least I should be able to run it on my TyTn, but that defeats the object of a new phone
cheers

First off, wrong place to ask this question. Second off, you are a fool for buying that. You can get all that here for free. (Just donate a few bucks for their hard work) Thats where they got it. So you aready wasted your money. I hate people making money on other peoples work. And to finish your question, you cant tweak it. Your wvga resolution is 480x800 and qvga is 240x320. A little reading and researching goes a long way.

Most of that software you bought is free and you can get it here in the screen resolution you want.
Since you had no problem giving money to does retards that almost made A_C give up on releasing is programs you can also donate some to the people that had the hard work of making that possible to us.

REMEMBER TO DONATE !!

well, ahem, thanks for the oso friendly replies A little sarcasm never hurt anyone eh ? Where exactly should I have posted ?
I will donate to whoever enables me to run cool stuff on my HD and who helps along the way. I'm a seasoned user, not a programmer/developer so it's good that there are people out there willing to give a helping hand. So thanks especially go for the links provided.
at least $10 is not a big loss, and I'll do some donating once I'm up and running as I like to share my considerable debt

crikey there are some clever people out there
Thanks a million for helping me out. Donations are on their way. Feel much much better not giving money to Apple
Just feel a bit daft wasting 3 beers on that other site.... nuff said bout that the better.....
** they actually gave me a refund just now.. .. .. more money to donate....**

The Cube is SOOO USELESS

Its not cool at all, just plain annoying. I have all those damn shortcuts on the today screen! I'm going to see if there's a TouchIT 2.3 around here w/o Cube cuz it sucks ass and just hogs 5MB or RAM that I can't get back without a reset
Bad job HTC, bad job.
Excellent job XDA Devs though! You guys make these phones the funnest toys one could ever have!
Dumb
???
This must be one of the most useless posts out a lot of very bad posts.Could a moderator please close this post
Besides very offensive and rude to ITje it is plain ass stupid; why? Let me explain:
#1 Everybody in this forum using it in a constructive way is doing this in his/her sparetime and they are doing this volentairely!
#2 ITje used his sparetime to cook us a Rom which is WAY better than any MS Rom filled with junk and useless software.
#3 A Rom which is, even with hogging these 5 MB, better then the official one due to the improved stability, improved speed, gained space and additional much needed software.
#4 A rom which is available in several flavours with or without Cube
#5 TouchIT 2.3 is already outdated by version 3 and since today version4 (again in several flavours)
#6 By offending the people who are willing to use their sparetime to provide us with better Rom you will chase them away from cooking so eventually none of them is willing to do anything for anyone.
#7 If it is so annoying > flash your device with the original RUU and stop wining about it.
#8 Want me to go on....?
Please take my advice on this one:
If something like this is bugging you again... use your toilet because we don't need this ****. Take IT, leave it or build one yourselves
^Awww, must be that time of the month for you. I understand, don't worry
everybody is entitled to an oppinion....
But many ppl like the cube.
And as I told you earlier, there will come versions without the cube and only touchflo, but as I also said, I dont have the time right now to cook up the other releases, I have other things to do
. The lite version was just an last minute experiment with ftouchflo, wich I never used before. Didnt have time to test it properly, but if you bother to do a search in development and hacking section of this forum there is a hotfix. and there is also a config tool there somewhere
I can give you link to fix, but config u need to find yourself
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338143&highlight=ftouch
^Thanks a lot man. I hope you didn't take my post the wrong way like our friend above did. I meant it as venting at my disappointment at HTC with that Cube, not against you. I really appreciate your work and if you don't do a cubeless 2.3, its fine. Its not like I'm paying for any of this!

Well, I kinda share your arguments, but you know, your words were not well chosen,
but typical itje he luckily takes things lightly and helps out everybody everytime.
Just choose your words wisely next time
Happy new year!
I must say, I think the Cube us very useless too, nice to play with it,
for like 4 times, but after that it's out of real use.
A today screen with integrated Cube, now THAT would be nice. Having different today screens wich you can swap. So still start menu/softkeys.
Any good-ass programmer interested?

hehe admit it, that's funny
but no need for this thread to be opened, that is true
like itje said, its this person's opinion! There are lot more useless posts on this forum. I think this post is very good because it could let the noob firmware flasher on what firmware to pick, with or without the cube.
In my opinion, cube is very useless for general purpose. But very good to show it off to your friends. Trust me it comes very handy when they try to smack talk to you "why you didnt buy the Iphone."
I think in the months to come, we are going to be moving away from the cube and integrating the PointUI interface in the new releases. I love the pointui interface becuase it does more then the cube does. It is aso in the beginnng stages and there are more features and more stable releases to come!
Also, I dont think he meant any disrespect to itje. He just asked if there was a cubeless version of the Touch-it rom.
Yes, I meant no respect. Check the last line of appreciation I typed.
I once tested a program for switching todayscreens - but as in windows xp it is slow....
perhaps someone could put things together.
but like pointui - all is finally redirected to the crappy winmobile software - when wiritng sms or anything else. comming there can be very nice - cube, pointui, spbmobile shell --> but at the end we stop there wehere we could get by pressing - start-programms-messaging

Yeah PointUI is nice, but it needs WAY MORE development,
and it drastically needs skinning options

As Gambit999 said; not well chosen words. Choose well next time and may the force be with you my friend.
I really like the cube and come handy when i am viewing pictures and playing mp3s..
Hi guys,
I've already Windows Mobile 6 in my P4350. There's anyway to install now the "famous" cube?
How to do that? Or do I have to instal the entire ROM Update?
Thanks
Mainly you will get it through Custom ROMs but there is also a new coded standalone version which you can find here.
I have an idea. If you don't like the cube, then don't use it.
I have had a cubed rom for a while... and the only time i ever bring up the cube, is when someone asks about my phone, so I'll show them the stupid little things like HTC Album, and Cube just to show off the whole GUI aspect of it... other than that, I never use any of it.

Exactly, that's the same what I do if people ask me about my phone. The HTC Album btw does get some attention by myself.

HTC Diamond interface on Shaddow anyone??

I'm running WM6.1 on my shaddow thanks to ~MY HTC,~ but I love the Daimond interface and I'm hoping I can find it out there somewhere.
i would so donate to one of our talented developers to make/port this over to the shadow... hope someone decides to do it.

yeah wouldn't that be great!
I'll try doing it, but I'm almost completely assured that there is no way that will work. Touchscreen phones have something called the Today Screen instead of the Home Screen on the non-touchscreen phones. The two for the most part aren't compatible. It's the same reason why the Sliding Panels haven't been ported to wm6.1 touchscreen phones. You can look up the difference on Microsoft's Windows Mobile site.
I don't think its possible because I read somewhere in a interview the htc diamond has some actual gpu accelerated code in the touchflow 3d home screen so it can't be ported to any earlier version of htc touchscreen phones (aka htc touch) let alone a slow non-touchscreen phone.
yea that makes since, it's fun to play pretend though. Hey thanks for the info nd, and thank you again ND4SPD for the rom(s) you put out. ..outstanding work.

A great fun app idea!

well we most know of the lightsaber app for the diamond right?
if not you can search for it here on the forum.
but anyway, i was watching some bruce lee style skit that was recorded on a cellphone and the both things clicked in my head and i thought up of the same concept as the light saber, where it uses the accelorometer to make the noises of punches and really quick movements! all bruce lee style, now that would be fun to use! im guessing one could use the same coding as the lightsaber just change sounds and interface to something like "Kung-fu-Fighter" for diamond or something.
well im just tossing out the idea, im no programer or coder so i really dont have any idea on how to do this, but the concept i think is great, just as much as the lightsaber app, i think alot of people would like this and want this. thanks in advance if anybody can come up with my idea.
oh and by the way, maybe it could have an option for switching between punch movements and just quick "swooshing" sounds for when your not pretending to hit anything but your moving your arms all crazy hahaha
I freaking love it!
yeeey a kung foooooo diamond..
love the idea
bump, i second that
that would be kickass!!
absolutely love the idea

i really like that
but let's just be real and stop dreaming
look how much ideas we have here in diamond section but no response from developers coz they all are busy developing new appz for iPhone to make the iPhone Owners like thier phones better and to make us feel sorry that we dont have that on our phones
i hate steve jobs with his brand-new (game boy).

ok ok, common, hey we all know that iphone has most of the developers ans such, and im surely jelous of it
but thats no reason to get all sad and negative about it.
thats why by giving ideas, we try to stay ahead of the iphone. atleast this could be one thing that the iphone doesnt have. and that would be one step ahead.
and common, dont hate. its as simple as people buy what they want, or what they need. simple as that, its like hating xbox just because they released halo 3 or something, its just doesnt make sense. we need to stop looking at the stuff we cant do and look at what we can or could do. simple as that.
besides, i was just giving a suggestion to what would be nice to have, thats all.
My brother have an iphone with two apps like this. One of them is called iFight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2SqPsy9ZPY and the other is called Sounds of Fury. It would be nice to see an app like this for the Diamond.
Does someone have the sounds for such an app? I've got the lightsaber source ;-)

[rREQ] Pocket God on HTC Diamond

Can HTC generate a similar application like that? I love that very much, it's such a creative idea. Any one can do that?
can HTC generate ? I don't know where you bought your machine but my HTC does not generate much. Anyway:
Since you did not include any link or description regarding the program, I googled it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46r40RKgP8k
Typical Iphone stuff. 5 secs of fun
Ride the lightning is great!
thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I second / third / fourth this request. This is so fun to have!!! Someone, anyone, please???
i am generally quite enthusiaistic about porting iphone applications to wm..
but that is the most pointless application i have ever witnessed.
if you really want it
if you really want it, and I mean REALLY REALLY want it, make it

You'd have to make it yourself, and then install it to your TP.
Man, I don't even know the first thing about creating stuff like this. If I knew how, I would be all over it. Have any tips for a beginner?
That's a really pointless app but really funny! The right thing if you're getting angry!

Cheers - and goodbye. :)

Just wanted to say since I've had my Touch HD I've had countless support from everyone on here, theres too many names to mention, but today, I received my Touch Pro 2 and will be leaving this forum... (only down the road though, 2 doors down I think).
Never been a better set of people working with a device and I thank each and everyone of you, especially the chefs and their support teams, without you my HD would be no where near as good as it is now.
Hopefully you will all be getting a Touch Pro 2 and coming to help me there, but until then, I'll only be in this forum in dribs and drabs helping where I can until I sell my HD.
Au revoir!

NICE... Congrats Pal. I will be seeing you shortly in that section too. I am waiting for T-Mobile to release that device for us here in the US so that we'll have the 3G capabilities .
But Touch HD would still be one of the top devices I have used.
I will chk out your reivew on the TouchPro (Rhodium) section if you have one.
Congrats on your new mobile.
I need a help from you if possible.
Iam also planning to buy a touch pro 2.
But, it will be really helpful for me if you can give me few details about your new phone.
1. Is it having the same yellowish tint as Touch HD screen?
2. Have you tested the out of box video playback ? is it the same as HD or any improvement (I mean some updates video drivers??
3. What about the battery life? (too early i know , but still)
Thanks in advance
Goodluck and congrats on your new device my friend...
have fun, moved thread to blackstone
But why do you leave this beautiful thin device THD and get this ugly fatty TP2?
Nice mate,
i wish you all the best there.
i wanted to get a TP2 but it was not yet released when i flushed my X1 so i got HD.
btw TP2 has a 0.2 inches smaller screen, can u live with that?
for me, i will not get a TP2 unless an external KB is essential.
best of luck

Haha, I know what you mean, but with this device being narrower and a bit fatter, it actually feels better in the hand. Plus I want a hardware KB, this has it where the HD obviously don't. Love both devices, can't fault either.

You don't really notice the difference, whats 0.2"!!! No seriously, you don't notice the difference but the screen does look a lot clearer than the HD for some reason, I thought they were the same. Seems more responsive too.
Has more on front too, nice to have a Start Menu button and a home button as well as the hardware Zoom slider, Front notificaiton light is always nice too

Will let you know these, haven't tested them as yet. Not sure what you mean about the yellowish tint?? Video playback I would imagine is the same as this is driver issue not hardware.
Battery life actually has a monitor on it from last full charge, so will let you know in next few days about that, fully charging it now so tomorrow will be day 1
Congrats on your new device!
Personally i prefer those 0.2" and a 3.5mm jack
Congrats on your TP2!! I'm doing the same once it arrives in the USA 7/22 for T-Mobile 3G!!
Thanks friend.

I was the same as you to be honest, a little bit pesemistic about the tp2 as I had my Blackstone, I didn't know what could be better, but I needed the hw kb.
To my amazement, the screen is clearer and more responsive, but don't get me wrong, if it wasn't for the hw kb, I wouldn't have changed.
Love both devices, just waiting for HSPL and roms to start flying about

Ok, again, not had chance to check video but will be doing that later today.
Battery.... A nice feature is that when you go into settings--power, there is an information tab at the end, which displays the time you have used it.
So far, my battery has depleated 11% (I'm on 89% left) with factory stock ram and so far I have...
19 hours, 10 minutes standby
41 minutes talktime
44 minutes device usage
Device usage is just when you have the device out of standby, whilst I've been doing this I've installed about 15 programs, set up Tom Tom, used Tom Tom for 10 minutes and also been playing with settings... So far I'm quite impressed.
I've also sent/received 32 text messages.
Hope this helps
Think I'll hold off purchasing any new phones until something comes along and blows my mind away. Unfortunately the TP2 didn't do this for me, but have fun anyhow.
@ nicelad_uk - Best of luck with your new baby. I hope you were well rested beorehand mate
