Headsets Shipping

Hello!

We just got the news from Ridax: the headsets you pre-ordered are shipping right now. Also, any further headset order will be shipped in the same or following days.

Now you have one more reason to install VNotes, Nikotalkie, Funiculus, SIP-VoIP or the latest Scope onto your Touch. Please, give us feedback on how satisfied you are with the remote control functionality and the sound quality of the headsets. We did our best , and we are almost sure: you can hardly find a headphone with comparable quality for the same price

Enjoy your headsets!

DIY: Charge your iPod from 4 AA batteries

Hello,
finally it seems the wiki entry on this topic is well written to be announced:

Here you go: if you are a little bored and have some spare AA battery holders, female USB plugs, and some resistors, try our hack: charge your ipod, while being far from an AC outlet.. let it be on the beach, or in the skies.

Happy hacking!

Scope with Line-In

Hello,

we are happy to announce the updated version of our Scope application.

What it does:
- Reads and samples the analogue Line-In (pin 26) of the dock connector.
- If you have a Touchmods Mic then visualizes your voice or the music in your room
- If you dont, it can still visualize the source you connect to the Line-In pin
- The video is roughly with 3 updates per sec (can be much faster, but we save your battery
- Demonstrates arbitrary audio sampl-erate: (recently 16 kHz but could be up to 96kHz!!)
- Demonstrates the usage of alertShets (hosting a Stop and a non-active FFT button)

Future plans:
1. storing file based on the date and time string (easy 2 solve)
2. allowing zoom in/out in time and amplittude (requires nice buttons)
3. FFT, Spectrum analyser (requires the Analyser code we posted on may)
4. Limit counter (simple)

Important Notes:
1. Works with Touch, checked only on a OS-X 113 iPod Touch
2. on an iPhone it gives a “attempting to rehabilitate audio…” message, as the iPhone mic is not suported (yet)
3. it writes an empty wave-file in the /var/mobile/ directory, so probably will not work on OS 112 and older.

This new version will be available on our repository in the following hours.
Nice weekend!

A Little (More) Magic- Part II

After Cyrille offered to collect info on the BT hack, Uphi was posting some weeks ago, we decided to rewrite the “A Little (More) Magic” post to our Wiki, so that it looks more as a tutorial.

Of course, it may still happen that the howTo is not easy to understand, or some detail is missing. We would like to ask everybody: do not be lazy, and give us a feedback through the comments below in all cases: if you made the mod, if you feel something is missing, or: if you have some more info related to this mod.

The best hackers: pls make a video in case you have some extra time. But when putting it onto youtube (or any other channel) do not forget to add the keyword: “touchmods, bluetooth headset, pairing” so that people easily find it online. We will link your video from our Wiki and Blog.
Happy hacking!

@Cyrille: pls use this page to create the other tutorial.

New Touchmods Application

Hi Folks,

here is a new Touchmods-Test-Application.

• Oscilloscope - a 1st test how and how fast a real time graph can be drawn. (mic input comes soon)

It can be found right now in your Installer under “Touchmods”.

Future versions with more functions will come to you as update.

Have fun.
(The Touchmods Team)

Welcome Page

Hi Everybody,

it is time to ask the most important question of the week:
How do you like our main page at Touchmods.net (and .org)?

We did our best to have the Wiki ready 4U at beginning of April, so pls do not hesitate to use it. The same holds for the IRC: Thomas did set it up for all of us back in Dec.2007! At the time of the first VoIP release there used to be 50+ ppl chatting online. If the new Siphon will be released, pls go there and use it: help each other with the setup problems and account questions.

Also, we do have a Forum installed since some days but we were not sure if it is needed or not. This is the reason why there is no link to the forum from the main page. Still, if you think it is useful and that you could contribute, feel free to register at http://wiki.touchmods.net/drupal5/. Once we see that there is a use of the forum, we will link it from the main pages, beside the IRC, Blog, CodeRepository, etc.

So, lets’ come together on the wiki/irc/forum, while waiting excited for the new Siphon.

New Features on The Way

Ok, let us show you the look-and-feel of Siphon v.1.3:

The photo above demonstrates from left to right:
- new icon (classic phone made of headphones and the Touch itself )
- integrated SIP settings in the main Settings menü
- nice (and finally clear) input fields
- iPhone-like keyboard
- integrated Contacts
- tiny icon on the status bar showing SIP in background waiting for a call

Also, by clicking on the photo you will get a hires image (for your blog).

.. and just a test question: have you noticed the EDGE switch above

FAQ in Italian

Hello Boys,
you may remember we had some Icon Designers from Italy back in December 2007. Now we are happy to have the Italian version of our FAQ here. Good luck, and enjoy it! Thanks to Andrea, our new friend!!

Nice weekend!

FAQ in Dutch

We just received the Dutch FAQ from the “Touchmods NL” team! Since the FAQ needs regular update and we at “Touchmods Basis*” do not speak Dutch, maybe it is best to keep the different language versions updated on the Wiki. Therefore anybody who registers can easily edit the page, and change/update even small details.

It seems we will need volunteers who register at the wiki and take care of different languages, not only of the FAQ, but also other pages, like TouchStudio, etc.

FAQ in German

Ok, Boys!
Jonathan just sent us the German version of the FAQ.
It is available under the link on the right side of our page
Enjoy!!
