Having a Windows Mobile powered cell phone has its advantages over a "regular" cell phone. The larger screen, the wealth of added value applications and the power of almost infinite user experience customization being the spearhead of these devices, it came naturally to me wanting to personalize every aspect of the user interface. In this post I'll present some user interface customizations I dug up from the web. Some of them are only applicable to HTC devices (and therefore marked with "HTC" on the title), others apply to any device powered by Windows Mobile 6 Professional or Classic.

When I switched my desktop over to Mandriva Linux 2008 I knew it wouldn't be without some shortcomings. One of the most frustrating experiences I had was connecting my HTC Touch phone (a Windows Mobile 6 PDA phone) to my Linux box in order to synchronize it. I stumbled along the way, finding the not too apparent solution to my problem.

First of all, the reason why Mandriva couldn't connect to the device was some apparently faulty version of rndis_host driver that came along with the distribution. As a result, every time you upgrade the kernel, you'll have to follow these steps.

If you own a Pocket PC device, or any Windows Mobile based device (i.e. PDA phone) and you know how to code, you start feeling the urge to develop for it. The possibilities seem endless: highly portable, natural (touch screen) interface, integrated mobile communications (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPRS, 3G, you-name-it), camera, GPS... it's all there, ready to be combined in fun ways.

No comments on “Hibenating Mandriva Linux 2008”

Hibernating your machine is of paramount importance, especially if you own a laptop. It is not just a convenience; it is a necessity should you have to move in a hurry and don't have time to save everything and perform a proper shutdown. Albeit, Mandriva has not supplied a working configuration for the hibernation function out of the box, therefore we are going to fix it. The steps below worked for my Mandriva Linux 2008 x86-64 and x86 installations and will most probably work for other post-2007 distributions, even Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring, but - as always - there are no guaranties. At worst your box will not hibernate and you might end up with a corrupt swap space (which can be mended very easily anyway).

Η χαρά της κοπέλας μου που θα είχε επιτέλους γρήγορο και απεριόριστο Internet ήταν απίστευτη. Κάτι ψιλοπροβλήματα πήγαν να μας χαλάσουν την διάθεση και επειδή - απ'ότι υποψιάζομαι - μόνο σπάνια δεν πρέπει να είναι, είπα να μοιραστώ το πρόβλημα με την λύση του μαζί σας.

Δεν μπορώ να πω, η Vodafone ήταν ταχύτατη στην ενεργοποίηση του κυκλώματος ADSL (μόλις τρεις εβδομάδες), οι οδηγίες ενεργοποίησης και ρύθμισης του υπολογιστή και του router τόσο κατανοητές που ακόμη κι ένα 5χρονο παιδί τις καταλαβαίνει, αλλά... κάτι δεν λειτούργησε καλά στο όλο σύστημα
