through my previous post, i've stated that doing file replacement is dangerous and could hazard your phone software if done carelessly but i never mentioned the safe method when doing the mods.

when downloading a shared mod file by any UIQmodder. amke sure you read the note attached with it. some file replacement method are unreverseable. so please be aware of the hazard that might come.

im sharing some of my best collection on icon statusbar mod for you to try.

Big ben by cellphonesoft

2010-02-04T08:25:00.000-08:00

Bigben

If you're looking for a phonelock software for your UIQ3 device that are customizable and doesn't require any hacking methods, I would strongly recommended this software. Its also run as a plugin for gdesk 0.33e.

Bigben functions as a lock for the phone and can be set to replace the stock phonelock. One little problem that I noticed when the phone is in lock mode. The phone doesn stay in sleep mode. Backlight keep on flashing up every time we touch or moves the phone. Its nothing much but it cos the battery more and surely interrupt the battery life while in use.

We can set the background for the lock. A few choices like using the theme background Or just set it to transparent which the background are clear to see or just choose your own picture. But make sure the picture is in certain resolution. I'm not sure the correct resolution that fits the most, so try to find it yourself. The default background is the bigben picture itself.

One thing I like about the software is, you can display the clock either in digital or analog. You can set to display appointment, task, reminder or just left it blank. The power is in your hand.

It doesn't as fancy as kwull iphonelock which has an animation when its unlock or being lock but it doesn't require you to do any hacking. all you have to do is jUst download the file and just install. Im writing through email so screen shot would be available soon.

more info for developing a gdesk plugin

2010-01-27T01:13:00.000-08:00

to create your own plugin for the Gdesk apps, you have to have SE symbian development tool and gdesk plugin kit. if you go the sony ericsson website.well... it kills me everytime i read this

quotes from http://developer.sonyericsson.com/site/global/docstools/symbian/p_symbian.jsp

UIQ Technology was a jointly owned company by Sony Ericsson and Motorola and ceased trading during early 2009. As a consequence, all documentation, tools (SDKs) and supportive information hosted on UIQ Technology's servers is now unavailable.

The UIQ product line from Sony Ericsson is discontinued and therefore there will be no further maintenance of Docs & Tools for the UIQ Platform. Focus has moved to the new Symbian Foundation operating platform based on the S60 v5.0 Symbian™ OS.

so now i just focus on making apps just for my phone. hehe... as long as im happy with my phone.

If you want to get a smarphone from Sony Ericsson smartphone lineup, well other than window mobile and android platform. the other thing i reccoment is supporting the symbian foundation platform...
brows this web for more info.
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/site/global/docstools/symbian/p_symbian.jsp

other than that, i just want to repost an article from My-Symbian website on UIQ technology bankruptcy

Mon, 05.01.09

UIQ Technology files for bankruptcy

According to Reuters, UIQ Technology has filed for bankruptcy in a district court in Sweden. "There are no opportunities to create a new line of business in the current financial climate", said UIQ Chief Executive Johan Sandberg. This means that the darkest fears of UIQ phones' users became reality: the UIQ platform is now really and offically dead...

My-Symbian would like to thank all people behind UIQ for their hard work and giving us all such a great mobile platform. These 6 years will always remain an important part of history of mobile technology. We deeply hope that their intellectual and creative potential will not be wasted and that they will have another chance to impress us once again with great products, hopefully still Symbian OS based.

My-Symbian will continue supporting the UIQ platform, its users and software developers. If you have a UIQ phone and you're satisfied with it, keep using it! It won't stop working only because the company went bankrupt. Keep visiting our discussion forums and checking our UIQ3 Software Catalog for (hopefully) new and interesting software releases...

Posted by Michal Jerz @ 23:59 in UIQ 3.x category

well, if you just want to have the taste of UIQ platform. You can get an UIQ phone. its cheap and reliable. But no further development will be done for the phone. Since my w960 purchase, i notice there were only 2 update available for my phone. there are customizable roms made by some modders available for download. flash at your own risk...

Gdesk 0.33e software plugin

2010-01-19T10:16:00.000-08:00

I previously shared the gdesk 0.33e here. 0.33e version is very special. There's a few version of gdesk v0.33e out there that support different features. I can only share you this one.

The version that im using support page scrolling, flicking and page snap.

Well thanks to those great gdesk theme makers that added more plugin to the software.

Theres a plugin called -function server- created by CellPhoneSoft. The plugin only can achieve Its fullest functionality only with 4 application which you can search and download via the net @ http://cellphonesoft.com.

1. Swiss manager - for task manager and ram management.
2. Bunch lunch - to launch a few application at one time. Limited to 7 bunch list.
3. Tweak peaks - to optimise graphic acceleration.
4. Big ben - screen lock.

Mostly people now prefer ilock.
Ilock is a software that function like the apple screen lock and unlocking. Big ben apps is very hard to find since ilock are free and screen pix are customiseable.

GDesk is a customizable and extendable desktop system for UIQ3 PLATFORM.

you can customize new layout on your main screen. Gdesk will replace your main standby screen, its like a new layer covering the original standby screen such as TouchFlo 3d on WinMo. Icons can be placed on the desktop representing applications, page links and plug-ins; these can then be launched by tapping them.

Plug-ins can be added at any time and as required, i attached the SDK also for you if u are a expert in that.

there's a bunch of designs to download if u google for them, Here is the main site

the best version is this. i shared it at megaupload http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OQHTVI74

It has auto start functionality so you don't have to activate the application every time the phone restart.

BEWARE: install this with your own risk...

understanding your w960 bateri life

2010-01-07T09:40:00.000-08:00

i have a friend who also owns a w960 complaining about the phone power consumption. he says the battery life drops too quickly. what i mean is like when the phone is fully charges 100%, within just a few minute of minimal usage, you'll notice the indicator suddenly display a 95% battery when the icon is pressed.the TALK and STANDBY times depend on the actual ransmission conditions when under usage of the phone and setting of the phone.

yes... w960 does come with a very poor battery. with 950 mAh in capacity surely doesn guerantee any long lasting usage under heavy using. but it doesn ate much of the battery. we have to understand that the battery indicator for the w960 was design to displays power in 1% enhancement not like other phone that comes with a 10% or 20%. thats why u don see the battery bar decreasing so fast. 1% enhancer are more persistent to me to budget my use of the phone before charging back the power.

here's some tips on preserving and expanding the phone battery life, it just that we need to learn how.

when in a very low state of power, the LED under the phone side to the connecting port will flash in red.

this mean you need to charge the phone. with an original charger. it only took 4 hours to fill up the battery again to 100%. remember to always off the phone before removing the battery unless under undesirable condition.

1. always turm off the connections such as Bluetooth and WiFi when not in use.
2. mark OFF transitions in control panel.
3. set backlight of the screen and keypad to auto.
4. mark POWER SAVE in control panel.

lastly if you planning to go for a long trip on the road, go get a car charger or silent the phone or switch off the vibrate option to save the battery life.

W960 carholder

2010-01-01T11:03:00.000-08:00

Today i just want to share one of my most practical accessori for my w960. I say its a practical item that i bought because i usually spent my time on the road. Having a high stand to place my phone is usefull. U can answer calls using the loud speaker if u dont have a bluetooth handfree. Syncronizing the player with a compatbie car audio player is easy, managing the song is fun. Since w960 doesn have a GPS receiver, its a pity. But u can still install a data base software for your device such as google maps.

Leaving 2009 with lots of sweet and bad memories... Wellcoming 2010 with a wide open hand.

And i dedicated this post to my beloved brother, mohd taim who past away this 29 of december, 2010 due to TB lungs. May he rest in peace. Al-fatihah....

w960 calls management

2009-12-27T02:22:00.000-08:00

Here's some screen shot that i take from my W960 featuring options that are available for blocking unwanted calls and creating whitelist contact for calling. It come pre-installed with the phone software. Most of smartphone today dont come with a default software like this.

Creating one is easy, u can access this function right from the main screen of the phone.

Pressing MORE on the right bottom screen will pop up a menu list. Look for ACCEPT CALLS. This will show 5 option on how you want to setup the list.

1. All callers - let all callers to reach you either from your phone contact or not.
2. Listed Callers Only - let you choose from who you want to accept calls from.
3. Contacts - only from contacts.
4. Speed Dial - people from your speed dial setting.
5. None - accept no calls at all.

Try it out. Enjoy...

W960 as a modem after reset error

2009-12-21T19:19:00.000-08:00

Im still looking for other errors that stupid reset does. So after success on the walkman player and the pc suite.

I remembered I use to connect to the net with my w960 as a modem. It supported 3G network in my area but hey… I don like it. That why I go buy a Nokia E63 which I had sell recently.

W960 suck as a modem. Donno why. The best phone I use as a modem is xperia x1i. So lets get back to where I wonder if If i can connect to the net with my w960i as a modem or not.

Surfing directly from the phone seem ok. Wi-fi and broadband seem ok.

So the ultimate test…

At the 1st attemp. The phone restart itself. Suck rite?

And the second one also a failure. The phone and my pc shows connected. But there is something strange about the connection. Somehow it doesn’t connect to the net. It shows connected to the 3G line but it doesn connect to the net. I repeat, it shows connected but i can surf the net. Due to setting I think. Or drivers issues.

so back to research time...

USB mode error solve

2009-12-17T12:36:00.000-08:00

look closely to the picture above... what do u see??? my w960i connected in usb mode. its a miracle rite??. after the long week trying to solve the problem... finally id made it, sure come as a satisfactory.

the noobest i can be...

i cant say what is the main problem is. but i notice that, my phone don't recognize the new Sony Ericson PC Suite v5.0. look closely to the picture then you'll understand. the usb mode that currently running doesn't run on the new PC suite. this is Sony Ericson PC Suite version 1.5.26. this is sure a big bug in the pc suite. The v5.0 is the latest pc suite that i downloaded from SE main web site. it recommended to me by the web system.

sure i can rest a little bit. but UIQ MODDING IS still running. i'll keep on running this blog for UIQ newbies that want to try the UIQ system.

error after resetting factory mode

2009-12-17T09:35:00.000-08:00

So here I am writing and complaining After my reset,
I want your UIQ lovers know the risk that u take when doin the "replace file in c/resource" if u don understand how the system work, u should read this.

Afer my reset, I lost most of the main file that came in factory setting. This is the changers that I had notice.

1) The walkman player shortcut is placed in the tool folder. There's no way to move the shortcut out of the folder like u can always do to any installed application that placed in the tool folder.
2) The walkman hardware shortcut doesn work when pressed. I mean to say that all shortcut don’t work. It always displayed "not enough memory". So no walkman player anymore.
3) PC SUITE doesn’t recognise the phone when attempting to connect. I tried several time@method, in Usb or bluetooth mode. Thank god it still support mass memory mode.
4) The phone became very…very-very… slow….
5) The zeegy mod on contact and sms icon still exist. The reset don’t reset the folder. Good.
6) U lost most of your original file and Pre-installed software.
7) The camera, video gallery, picture gallery and phone is still ok.

Im not a giving up though. So id been trying to look out on a solution to repair the phone software.
My only hope to get the original file is to re-update the firmware. Sadly the pc suite don’t recognise the phone. I check the driver on the hardware manager. All driver is ok.

Walkman repairing method.
Now I only find one solution to revive the walkman player. It’s the walkman mod done on SE P1i. Remember the mod done by zeegy that enable the p1i to have the same walkman player as w960i does.
Follow the instruction and restart. Now the walkman can be use again. But more laggy than before. And still doesn’t repair the shortcut. U still cant move the shortcut out of the folder. i Haven try any registry mod yet but I'll post any info when id done my research.

WARNING before doing a reset to your W960i

think twice before u do any resetting onto your UIQ device...

i was planning to sell my w960i so i reset it so that it will set to factory mode. its a big mistake that i dont do any backup on the image for the phone and now the walkman apps cant start at all. when i press my walkman hardware button the screen will display "not enough memory" to start the walkman player application. it must be the walkman modification that id done previously. remember the kastor modding i added up before this in this blog? yes, i notice that the original file of the walkman player was deleted also. bummer... theres no way to repair this after you reset the phone.

theres some alternative on repairing other than sending the phone to the service centre. one of it is flashing the device. but its hard to get the correct flash tool to do this, i ask one of the dotsis and neuman UIQmaster for their opinion on repairing this.

its better to copy the original file of the phone before doing any modding especially copying the roms original files and put it somewhere in the external flash memory or to the pc.

to have it back to the original state. u have to do a software update via the net.

if u reset it first before doing the update. the update software tool wont recognise your device. how to update if u cant connect the device to the pc.

so please do a research before doing any "original state" modding.

its better to maintain than a repairing the fault.

thanks...

p.s. this blog is DONE. Id upgraded and migrate to WinMo platform and my new device is Xperia X1i...

Blogging while on the GO with your Sony Ericsson device

2009-08-21T12:48:00.000-07:00

Have problem uploading the pictures that u wanna share on blogspot? No worries for Sony Ericsson user especially SE users whos using the non smartphone SE devices.

Sony Ericsson recently announce that they have the solution for bloggers that using their non smartphone. For high-end phone, browsing wont be a problem to them.If you using mini opera as a third party browser on your SE devices, i guess u know the main issue when doing blogging. theres sumthing wrong with mini opera run script when u r uploading a picture to the Blog. uploading is so damn long and for you info, my experience blogging with mini opera is not very pleasant. I had problem on links and uploading files to the blogger site.

Here's when a Blogger life become a nightmare... Ur posting a late activity... Haha.. Scary. Why bother when ur at home but this apps is usefull for travellers who doesn seem to have much time to sit in front of a pc. It wont hurt trying this alternative.

the pics i uploaded up there is how does the apps look like on my phone - SE w960i. Refer to SE official website for more info if ur don understand what im saying.

Now your reading my review on the mobile blogging using Blogger application -can be download at sony official website.

1. First you have to download the blogger application at the Sony Ericsson website. Just browse through the free application menu on the mobile website. Installed it to your phone memory or SD card After finish downloading the apps,
2. Then jus open up you browser and go to the mobile blogger website. Follow the instruction and Register.
3. now you can open the blogger application on your phone. The apps are available in the entertainmen folder.well, my blogger apps shortcut was automatically put in there.
4. In the blogger menu, create a blog. Give the post a title and add a picture along.u can add just one picture only. Im not sure wif other latest sony phones. Maybe u can add more than one. if im wrong correct me. after adding a picture just write the body content.
5. Finally just hit Publish.
6. wait for a SMS from blogger.com to get ur token id number.
7. Then if u wanna view ur blog just follow the instruction given. log in with the token id number to open ur blogpost via a internet browser, if ur phone support html browser of course.
8. Now ur blog is posted.End...

It should be easier. Correct me if i went wrong sumwhere in this article. Happy blogging....

Youtube on coreplayer

2009-08-19T10:26:00.001-07:00

Here again... no subcriber but im still going. I even decide to create a new blog for my nokia E63 exploration. This blog suppose to be the combine blog as you can see at some of this blog content.

i installed the CoreCodec CorePlayer v1.3.2 in my w960 for a few months now. its more than what we should ever need in a phone. Especially a video player. It can play FLV. And yes we can log in the youtube channel and play videos.

I tested the player to open youtube video through WiFi connection, 3G connection and Edge(2G). Guess what... through a standart wifi connection the video streaming was excellent. But still it has a problem on opening some videos. I donno why but still better than 3G connection.

What i really notice is that the player cant open almost all the videos tru EDGE. I try variable type of setting on the apps but the result is still the same. I have some complain about it but hey... EDGE is like a GPRS rite now... People are heading to 4G...

Well the coreplayer plays much better video and can play more FLV video compare to the pre-installed player. I highly reccomend you download this application for your UIQ device. compare to it price it improves alot of you streaming experience.
