Guest clarkez Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 The C500 is an utterly outstanding phone. My one slight gripe over and above the e200 is that Cleartype has been disabled (i know some people have the opposite perspective on this :) ). Has anyone figured out if it is possible to turn AA on yet?
Guest I. C. Monsters Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 I have tried both the cab file for the E200, but for some reason my C500 wouldn't download it. I have also had a go at editing the registry, the keys don't exist and the damn phone won't let me create them. Other than that, I don't have a clue. I. C. Monsters
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 If your phone is unlocked, you can use either the CAB (it DOES work!), or simply point your phone at customcabbage.co.uk - you'll need to select 'E200 / Voyager' as your phone type for the time being. P
Guest I. C. Monsters Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 Paul, as always you've come through with the goods. My C500 did seem to have a problem downloading the cab file from Modaco. Something about the type of file not being supported. Could it be something to do with the php redir business?
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 Yeah, we've tried to fix that, but haven't got it going yet :oops: :) HTH... P
Guest clarkez Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 I tried the customcabbage approach - got a cab, accepted security warning but then i get error message "Installation failed. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have adequate system permissions" Any ideas? Thx J
Guest Vector Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 You need to unlock your phone, you can do this on the orange site here: http://developer.orangews.com/orgspv/comdefq.aspx :)
Guest Motofone Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 Download shell-orange and install. It works. Even IE is clearer. http://www.smartease.net/news_324.html C500 is major upgrade and free on upgrade!! Cheers.
Guest Jasonkruys Posted August 21, 2004 Report Posted August 21, 2004 Does enabling ClearType affect performance at all? Even slightly?
Guest forss Posted August 31, 2004 Report Posted August 31, 2004 I've downloaded the cleartype cab files that turn clear type on for the C500, but have only been able to see IE change. Is it possible to enable clear type for the OS in general, i.e. menus and contacts? BTW: I've followed the instructions to disable security etc. and tried customcabage etc. but only IE has enabled it. Thanks Richard
Guest Vector Posted August 31, 2004 Report Posted August 31, 2004 Have you tried restarting the phone?
Guest forss Posted September 1, 2004 Report Posted September 1, 2004 Yes, I've powered it off and on again if thats what you mean by a "restart". However, I have not down a hardware reset. Anyone else managed to get cleartype working within the OS?
