Io zic ca m-am facut inteles. E prea dur? Nu i-am multumit (mai abitir-pentru ca se subintelege printre randuri ca i-as fi recunoscator)? N-are nimic,sincer,nu m-am gandit!
[ro] Blasfemie! Iphone ruleaza Windows Mobile! [tech-head/GSM/videoclip]

Eh, mi se tot repeta ca orice este posibil, insa de data asta Steve Jobs chiar o sa faca un atac de cord: Iphone care in secventa de “boot” iti cere sa alegi intre doua sisteme de operare: Apple OS sau Windows Mobile!Da, Windows Mobile! Bill Gates cred ca lesina de ras!
S-a intamplat la o conventie din Las Vegas, myPhone 2008 unde un tanar dezvoltator norvegian, Erik Kristiansen a reusit sa adauge Windows Mobile sistemului original de operare. In timp ce pentru majoritatea asta nu inseamna nimic, pe unii ii va ajuta sa aiba aplicatii de care au nevoie dar pe care Apple nu doreste sa le adauge pe lista disponibilitatilor. Ca de exemplu “copy/paste” sau aplicatii care sa ruleze in spate (multitasking)!
Dezvoltatorul in cauza spune ca softul care se afla acum in beta, va fi lansat in luna Ianuarie 2009 si ca va fi open-source.
Sau poate fi o facatura, asa cum multi sustin.

[en] SE P1i camera mod update [Sony Ericsson/modding/UIQ]

Camera mod is getting on my nerves. I don’t really need the video part but entering this mod-business made me took the opportunity of testing extensively all the mods available. All of them are safe: you don’t like it, just delete the modded files and the system will use the back-ups when you restart. Safe.
So, a lot of people started modding the camera files and the results appeared instantly. I mean, pictures are so much better with a minor downside: they are maybe 15% bigger in size, but with my 2 GB card I don’t worry a bit. I usually download pics&videos from my phone every 2 weeks, or even weekly. On the video part, there is A LOT of work to be done. Even after lots of mods, the video still appears choppy and laggy. This happens to me. Others have bigger issues: delayed sound of about 2 seconds or corrupt (often and it happened to me, too!) video/picture after you finish taking them! And this is really bad because you can’t recapture those moments. Or for most of the people, works great. I know that.
I tend to relay on my P1i camera very much, as it’s the best camera I have whenever I need it. What good is to have at home a 12 MP one with big optical zoom? Underneath, I put two clips taken with 2 different mods. After this second try, I pretty sure I’ll comeback to the original settings and wait until something better comes along. Too bad for the video image quality which is top notch (for this phone), almost 100% better than before, but choppiness is not acceptable.
A little bit about the video clips underneath: 1st example has decreased FPS(frames per second) from 51 to 45 in order to reduce the lag. It seemed to be working (only 3 choppy frames at the begining and then very smooth), but after trying it again today, was worse than ever before. And this leads me to example number 2: after emptying the folder to which the record will gonna land to in order to have a smoother operation,I tried again but the result is terible. Don’t know why. Just it doesn’t work at all, the result is choppy and laggy.
I have to thank Mode and Chombos 1, both members of the Esato Forum for their kindness and help regarding this particular issue. In the end, by coverting back to original files doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the unpaid effort made by people modding these apps, but that for the moment the result is not expected so maybe some encouragement and patience is in order.
[en] New set of Main Menu icons [Sony Ericsson/UIQ/modding]

Took a long time to find out why not all my icons would update with the rest: everytime I tried, all were updated but Contacts, Messages, Calendar and Control Panel (right side image). And it didn’t look good.
What’s all about? Modding. By replacing even the icons in my phone, I have a brand new interface every time I get bored with the old one. And it’s simple: after hacking the operation system, all I have to do is to copy the new icons on C: drive. For some reason, if these are mirrored on C: drive, then the phone displays them. If I wanna get back to original ones, I just delete the ones I put and poof, the phone uses the original ones from the Z: drive where everything is backed-up. And a nother plus is the fact that by deleting a small file, I now have bigger (at the same resolution) icons that are easier to use with your finger instead of the stylus. I also changed the theme. I started a 3 part series about all the modding business and everything includes it (1st part here) but didn’t have the time (as usual) to see it through right away. I will, eventually.
But back to the new icons, the reason for failure to change all icons layed in the fact that they were “written” for English (phone’s language). Even if my phone was in English, it wouldn’t change them all. So I gave it one more shot and asked the developers and they said I should change the language to English. I was going nuts because I HAD English. But it was American English as I’ve learned in a second of blitzy sweet inspiration. I’ve changed it to UK English and now I have what I long longed for! Kudos to the developers!
So here’s my new UI layout in terms of icons variation (left side image).
