Windows 95 running on HTC HD2

Wanna get a real OS on your HD2? Here it is – a fully working version of Windows 95 ready to go!

Windows 95 for HTC HD2 itself works pretty fast once the vga drivers and all components are properly installed ,there is one issue with the mouse icon, and few other glitches, but still nice and usable. Also some games works, StarCraft being one of them and its quite playable, even the intro and cd sound works (though lags a bit) it’s by no means as fast as the pocketstarcraft port, but this is the real thing, all units and BroodWar expansion on it so its quite a nice!

Ubuntu on HTC Touch Pro2 video demo

May be you already know about Ubuntu running on HTC Touch Pro2 and of course, here is the video what this looks like. Take a look at the above video. The operating of Ubuntu is surprisingly smooth (beside of the small font size).

Run Ubuntu on your HTC Touch Pro2

This may be a testament to the versatility of Windows Mobile devices or to the genius of certain XDA members. It looks like user sebbo90 has figured out how to run Ubuntu on his Touch Pro2 through haret. All you need to do is to unzip the archive to your root of your sd card and start the haret engine.

Think of the possibilities of having a fully fledged linux system on your phone, a mini netbook as such!

Not Working at the moment:
Wifi
Keyboard- At least on rhoduim100uk the fn deosnt work so you cant get / and _ etc in the terminal
Sound

Get trackball color notifications and custom animated wallpapers on your Nexus One

In a recent community hack for the Google Nexus One, several customizations were added to the Android 2.1 smartphone. The first of which is custom color notifications for the the trackball, which will add some colors to the notification LED under the handset’s trackball, something that Sidekick owners have enjoyed over the years. You can now have your Nexus One’s trackball glow one color for a missed call and another color to warn you of incoming emails.

Another feature of the hack brings custom animated wallpapers to Nexus One. So far, though, this feature seems more limited in its capacity as the hack only allows the wallpaper’s colors to be customized, but it is a good first start.

Another modded TCPMP build for Windows Mobile

This is the latest TCPMP build for Windows Mobile devices.

Whats new in this build:

Working equalizer, some updated codec libraries:  flac (updated to version 1.21 gains almost the same benchmark values compared to coreplayer), matroska parser (note that matroska support was broken due to changes in mkv format, now it works fine), latest ffmpeg static build (without avcodec and avutil dll’s). Contains merged flv1 and flv4 plugins (implemented into ffmpeg.plg and splitter.plg). Built in subtitle support be sure to visit homepage of that plugin for more information how to use it and limitations. Contains modified language.tgz file (enables usage of wmv dll’s and allows to play wmv files, dll’s isn’t included) thanks to frmariam for mentioning this (be sure to visit his magic stash related to tcpmp on mediafire http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=f…71ee60c1ce7296)
Fixed cab installer, able to install into Storage Card.
And finally some eyecandy – added skin support for player, supports both landscape and portrait modes.
This is similar to older tcpmp-0.71j build, (note that skin support is in early development stage so some bugs may appear if you don’t like the way it works just dont’t put skin files into TCPMP dir and use default interface)

Installation instructions:

• Be sure to uninstall old tcpmp before installing
• Download the new build
• Unpack
• Install
• Pick suitable skin for your screen resolution and extract contents of archive to TCPMP directory
• Pick suitable ffmpeg plugin for your device (ffmpeg.plg in cab is provided for compatibility purposes)

Notifications for missed calls, SMS and emails by HD2 keypad LED

From the creator of KeypadLedControl – which makes the HD2 keypad LED active as long as display backlight is active – comes a new small piece of software that would use the keypad LED to blink and notify for missed calls, text messages and emails. The ZIP file contians two files: onw would check for unread sms and missed calls while the other would also check for any new emails you’ve received. Extract the one of your choice, put it on your device and run it. It will stay active untill a soft reset or until you run it again. To have it automatically start up, place a shortcut for the executable in Windows\Startup.
