A BIG and hearty: Happy Birthay to Ashok
the founder & developer of Delight Custom firmwares
Ashok released the first version of Delight custom firmwares on the 21st of August 2011 and his firmware was always one of the best. Thousands of users followed his work and were always anxious to get the next version.
He is really a great guy and moderator at Dailymobile forum and tries to help people whereever he can.
His mods and ideas are still up-to-date today ;)
I'm finally back
A lot of you may have read the blog post reading that I was going to be offline for "at least 4 weeks"
...well, 4 weeks turned into 8 weeks. sorry about that
But all turned out well. A lot of work, sweat, blood and money were the price for a place to live that I call my "home"
now that I am done, I decided to get back to business and start with Delight again. Explanations will follow....
Small review for CameraPro Qt (and home pics)
just for example:
my bathroom before
inbetween
Now:
pictures were all made with my 808. the "before" & "inbetween" were both made with the standard camera function
BUT the last three were made with CameraPro QT 3.4.6
Awesome, Awesome Camera app. AN absolute must-have for Symbian devices.
6 exposure settings, 7 focus modes including the best macro pics I have ever seen, 5 additional effect, white balance, Iso settings, bracketing, burst pics, anti-shake and a lot more. Worth every penny.
here are some macro pics:
Delight development

new goodies:

- FAQs (Delight FAQ, Backup&Restore FAQs)
- Help
- latest CFW Changelogs (N8/C7 v6.X + 808 v1.X)
Effects:

- For Nokia 808 Pureview:
- just about the same as above, except for the changes we had already made to 808 in v1.1
- DELIGHT THEME: made by LAO STIA
many many thanks to him for his work. give credits and follow his work by clicking his name above
- great icon set.
- colored and semi-transparent
- nice background
- not too fancy, but fancy enough
- overall just suites Delight
- DELIGHT conversation skin:
- Delight background
- Kang Shao style conversation bubbles
- NEW:
except for hardware restrictions of course. for example: it doesn't have FMTX, NFC hardware resources.
Otherwise I would say I am half way through with modding
of course, with language sets, Delight capabilties, re-partitionised and everything you would like about Delight custom firmwares
- NEW AGAIN:
we'll see how it goes
If I get some good deals on other Symbian belle phones, I assume they will follow
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope you liked this blog post and the information in it
please support us by following the blog, signing the petitions and some occasional donations would be nice
bye
p.s. sorry Ashok, but your timeline in Dehli is ahead of ours, so this might seem late for you ;)
Thanks mate. It isn't late at all. I appreciate that. Welcome back. :)
ReplyDeleteIs the Nokia 701 in scope? :)
ReplyDeleteThx
in scope, yes... if I get a good deal for one. I mean, I have to buy all these phones to make them
Deleteand donations are rather poor, except for a few extraordinary people. but I rather get one Dollar, one Euro or a small amount of whatever from a couple people, than big bucks from individuals
its a real shame, that there are not many people that support us, while we support them.
ReplyDelete- 50.000+ users
- hardly donations
- 663 thousand views & only 43 followers
- 50.000+ users and only 3 - 4 thousand petition signers (only takes ONE minute of time to do)
- translation projects for Delight exclusive apps: only 45 - 50 languages, but in 3 months only 5 or 6 came through and sent me their language
really disappointed sometimes, but I guess thats Internet life.... all take, no give
anyway, I won't get down about it. I like what I do and I like to support others and I like to support internationally...
even though it takes up all my time... takes up money for phones, for electricity, for space on hard drives I need
and even getting a hard time from my wife once in a while
I really love symbian and won't get discouraged about it
Totally agree with you, we in Russia
Deletehave all too many people, but they are
terribly lazy.
all take, no give
Hi
ReplyDeletecan you make a Delight version for the Nokia E7 alswel, please???
I was thinking of not making the E-series, because the keyboard crap is a PIA
Deletewhy not x7?
ReplyDeleteif I get a good deal on a used one, then I presume we'll make it, too
DeleteHi Eric, really looking forward to the update...I have a quick question regarding the current build of Delight on my 808; the volume seems mighty loud - I can tone it down using the equaliser but even with all the sliders at the bottom the range between 0 and max volume is still very small. Is this something you know about? Is there anything I can do to change this?
ReplyDeleteOtherwise thanks for all the great work!
I think there is a second rofs3 with standard volume. If not I'll make one for the next version
DeleteGreat stuff Eric, thanks. Would I have to reflash the whole system or can I somehow integrate the rofs3 without reflashing?
DeleteHello Eric,
DeleteI have the same issue with my N8. Would it be possible to contain the louder volume as a patch in the rompatcher?
there will be different rofs3's, so everyone is happy. If your N8 isn't loud enough, then you set your Rompatches wrong. For instance the MoreSoundInLoudspeaker patch will make the headphones quieter again
Deletethanks for the suggestion Eric. I activated the MoreSoundInLoudspeaker patch and my headphones are quieter again. But I have to admid that I am a bit confused now. So this patch makes the Loudspeaker louder and the headphones quieter?
DeleteIs there a detailed description of what all the patches are doing?
By the way, I really appreciate what you are doing here and I would like to thank you for all the work you have.
Hi, its a best custom firmware and I have c6-01 n 603 :( very want to see on my phones too...
ReplyDeleteIf this comes on my phones I would like to know whether there is
present Russian language?
all our releases ALWAYS has every available language
DeleteSo, thats good :) now would nice to see your modification on other models or find man who has adapted it
DeleteI am an administrator of a big symbian community in Russia (about 8000 active symbian 3(only) user), and I
ReplyDeletewould love to see it all on our
smartphones :(
Perhaps it would be nice if we had our
own modernization, which would
adapt your firmware, but so far we do
not have
what do you mean by "own modernization"?
DeleteGoogle translate :D I mean man who will be adapt your
Deletemodifications to other models
I will try to make as many models as I can
DeleteExpect the new firmware.The skin is great.
ReplyDeleteI have a problem which maybe you can fix.When I use my 808 in the noisy place,I get the slight voice form the earpiece...More noisy,slighter voice.And this never happen in the quiet place.
Maybe. it‘s not a problem.But some friends I met in the forum all have it.
