a new gadget each day keeps the doc away

There are a group of pros working on porting android over to Omnia. At this time, the andromnia is at revision 145. Still unstable at this time and the phone functions are not working yet. But we should be able to see a fully functionally andromnia soon :D

 

There is a Google gadget that i wish it could be on my sidebar ever since i started picking up korean, that is 'Korean Audio Word of the Day'. Searching around the Internet leads me to a piece of free software that allows me to do just that.

The Amnesty Generator allows users to convert any big boys' gadgets to one that could be installed onto windows 7/vista sidebar.

So here's how it goes :D

Select the web widget that you are intending to convert, hit Open Site in Browser



Search for the intended gadget, click Add to your webpage



Customise to your liking, you could adjust the width and height in the amnesty generator, but there is no preview mode. When you are done, click Get the Code. Copy and paste the HTML from the textbox to amnesty.



The name will appear as the Name field will be the one used to identify the gadget from the library. You could also add an image to identify your own gadget. Click Generate, and the your Gadget will be created in your windows' gadget library!

P.S. The window will close when Generate is being clicked.





Those interested to backup the gadget, its located in the following directory
C:\Users\Wen Qiang\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\

 

Just gotten a non-camera phone as required due to my workplace. Have been searching one for quite sometime, eventually settled on the Sony Ericsson G700 Business Edition. It's quite an old model, but one with better organiser function as compared to other non-camera phone. Yeah, i know there are few models under Nokia's belt, but Nokia is never my preferred choice, lol!



Actually kinda disappointed over the performance of the phone, its laggy, even with no messages in the inbox, it will take a few seconds to load up the inbox. Similar to windows mobile, all applications are minimized and not closed. After using some period of time, i would have to go to the task manager to close everything. Quite a haste if you ask me.


I was quite tempted to get Samsung Jet since its launched, how i wish it comes with a non-camera version... Pray, pray, praying hard... haha

 

First, you will need a font that supports Korean. You could get it from your Windows\Fonts directory. I'll be using malgun.ttf as example here.

Copy the font to your device's Windows folder.

Using Registry Editor, navigate to the following key, [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]

Append "\windows\malgun.tff,Malgun Gothic" (without the quotes) to all the values listed here. Below is the snippet of the modified values on my Omnia. Mine came with Chinese support original, explaining the extra fonts.

Courier New = \windows\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song;\windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic
Tahoma = \windows\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song;\windows\malgun.ttf,Malgun Gothic

You should be able to see korean now :D




P.S. Additional language could be added in this way similarly..

Tested and works for Omnia II =D


Explanation:
FontLink keys essentially extend a Western/Roman font to include non-Roman fonts. By enabling Font Linking as documented above, you enable WM6 to search for Korean characters. Inevitably, the operating system will find the correct Korean characters in Malgun.ttf and render them on your screen.
