TomTom for my Wizard?

Up till last week I had a T-Mobile MDA Compact and I'd got Tomtom (bakonl) running. Now I have a Wizard (T-Mobile from The Netherlands) and I can't install the Tomtom. Appears that WM2005 not compatible with Tomtom Version 5. Anyone got a plan to get arround this? :?:

To install TTN5 on WM5 you have to copy the cab files directly to pda and launch it with the pocket explorer (or resco explorer).

a bit more info to install tomtom and get it working
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29606

Thanks for the responses guys. I've given it a go and moved the cab files from the CD to my SD card and installed the GPS cab first. Then soft booted the Vario and then attempted to install the TTN cab.
All per the post :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29277&highlight=ttn
However... Still won't install correctly...
Am I doing something wrong?
Any more advice gladly received.
Thanks,

you need te get the tomtom 5.1 files then it works fine. I've got it working on my bleu angel with WM5, and today i installed in on my brother's vario and it worked just fine.

Thanks,
Can I ask... Where did you get the 5.1 files from?

You can download TTN5.1 from the following link
http://www.tomtom.com/updates/ppcupd510.exe

otherwise just use a torrent search engine, you should find it in no time

You need the zip file not the exe. AS4 messes up the installation.

Dear All,
I found this update this week..
http://users.skynet.be/wallpaper/TOMTOM5.1.zip (for more info see http://tomtom3.web-log.nl/log/856067 around - Mondeo :: 20 september 2005 16:18 -).
Note : Download, unzipp... connect your PDA/Phone via Sync cabel/station, setup.exe run. (I have installed it over my (bakonl) 5.0 version.... !!!).
Note 2 : Can ONLY be used if you have a BeNeLux version of bakonl TT5 and only with the BeNeLux map (normal or plus).......
Success with the upgrade.

TomTom with WM6.1 on HTC wizard
Good Morning,
can anybody support me in trying to setup a navigation functionality on my HTC wizard, that runs WindowsMobile 6.1 (those TNT edition)?
Unfortunately i can't find up to date information about which GPS-hardware to use. Is BlooTooth the only reasonable solution for the wizard?
I also plan to feed the tachymeter signal from my bicycle somehow. Has anybody read of approaches to this and can cite or link?
Third thing I'm in search of is an alternative camera software. The "Camera for Pocket PC Version 3.00" does not support geoTagging and not even writing in the Tags for Titling, commenting etc.
Many thanks for your valuable hints in advance.

Another test: Wizard ROM ported to BA

Edited 26 jan 2006
I've uploaded a second test version of HTC Wizard's rom port to ftp://[email protected]/Uploads/Blueangel/wm5_test/wizard2ba_v2a_test.rar
(this is a v2 rom with a fixed camera)
USE THIS ROM AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
This version is a complete Wizard's ROM including:
1. Working MMS client
2. Midi/mp3 ringtone support
3. DirectX mobile/Direct3D mobile (xscale-optimized 3D driver)
4. Built-in cyberon voice-dial
5. Wizard's battery indicator, device lock on today
6. Some cosmetic changes
7. 32 Mb RAM disk
8. Bug fixes from the previous version (for example now you can add picture to contact).
There is no need to install any of the old CAB-files with fixes on this ROM. All needed fixes are included in "EXTROM" folder.
The "EXTROM" folder has changed from the previous ROM version. You need to do a hard reset before using this ROM!
Known problems:
1. Bluetooth disconnect bug is still there. I have an idea, but would check it later.
2. The device cannot be used as an IR/USB modem. This can be fixed, but I don't have enough time.
3. It seems that midlet manager is not working. Probably this is a bug in original wizard's ROM.
Installation instructions:
1. Modify the operator as needed and if needed:
xda3nbftool.exe nk.nbf nk.nba -x 0x20040521
...read wiki...
xda3nbftool.exe nk.nba nk.nbf -x 0x20040521
2. Create "EXTROM" foder on your storage card, copy there the contents of EXTROM
folder from this archive. The full name of this directory on your device should
be "\Storage Card\EXTROM".
2. Flush the ROM
3. Make the hard reset (press camera+record+reset buttons, select "format storage")
4. Boot. During the first boot the CAB-files from "EXTROM" folder would be
installed. They are unsigned, so you should press "yes" when asked, and
install them to the default folder. This process would be silent on newer
builds of this ROM.
Note for modifying the EXTROM folder:
All CAB-files should have read-only attribute set. Otherwise they would be deleted after installation. This would be fixed in the future releases. And
Config.txt is renamed to Cfg.txt.
CAB files:
Missing-Files.CAB - must be always installed. Wizard's ROM is larger than ours, so several files had to be removed and placed to this CAB.
Default_CAB-shortcut-CDL-08Sep05.CAB
Default_cdl_wwe_version.cab
Default_ie_view.sa.cab
Default_SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB - these 4 are from original Wizard's ROM.
Camera2K5.cab - camera app and drivers
Note regarding "RAM Disk32". I recommend to move temporary internet files and install unnecessary apps there. Its contents would survive soft reset, but would be cleaned if the battery is removed. The RAM Disk driver is taken from www.buzzdev.net

Okay, so I got the ROM even before you posted this topic (after an hour you've uploaded it...yes, i do check the WM5_test folder on a regular basis, hehe) First impressions is that this ROM is fast, really fast, even faster than the Hima2BA port... I can't really call WM5 "slow" anymore now, it works very well. Gonna test it a bit more later today. And THANK YOU, as usual

Just turned on cleartype and the fonts looks a bit...I don't know...weird. I'm not saying that it is worse than in the older ROMs, it just looks different somehow. Or it's just me. Edit: yes, they *do* look different. I'd say they are nicer though...

install Camera2k5_1 ,it is owrking for camera , this rom fast than others, Pocker msn can't login " sorry, We are unable to sign you in to this service because we could not detect a valid server certificate. this can occur if the date on your device is different from today date.please check the date on your device and change it if necessary.
also missing phone icon at person settingn't set ringtone

hi mwang,can you tell me where can download Camera2k5_1 ,thanks

Mamaich, what can i say, outstanding, as usual...Testing now

great man...
picture and video application isn't working though :?

working awesome, does anyone know how can i install BT Tray?
thanks mamaich

In Phone, Options doesn't work, smartdialing doesn't work...

2. "ok" hardware button is mapped to "record" and this cannot be changed. Would investigate this.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Strange. In my device it's mapped to the OK button as in 2003..

Bugs that I found:
1. MSN Messenger does not work
2. Phone Option does not work
3. Unable to assign picture from contacts
4. MP3 ringtone does not work
5. Voice Command BT Headset Dial (by renaming voicecmd.exe to sddialer.exe) does not work

MP3 ringtones work for me

Phone, Options isn't there. comfirm.
Hope to have a fix for that soon.

This ROM is a bit faster, but still no match for wm2003se speed..
Another problem is that I don't seem to be able to connect to the internet using AS, is it just me?
Guess it's back to 2003 for now..

I'm back to 2003SE too, currently doing restore. Guess have got to wait for some patches. I must say the speed of this is better then any other WM5 version.

I'll put together quickly a WiKi article with solution to the missing phone settings and such..stay tuned.

WiKi article with solutions and general info here (and also in my signature)

There are no notifications of current internet connection, i mean wifi bluetooth or gprs in the titlebar (like those in himalaya ported WM5)
There is still error when you press album icon in camera app, which can be fixed with installing album
The hardware button OK is mapped correctly , it works fine here
The record button is mapped as Voice Speed dial (the record app is there but doesnot work)
How can i get the tray icons of bluetooth and wifi ?
I like the new battery tray icon

Port to SX66
Great work Mamaich.
Installation was very smooth. The WIki solution to the missing phone icon was a big help. I prefer this version over the orginal WM5 or the himalaya version. I like the EXTROM installation. Not having a camera installed is a big help to SX66 owners, we don't have to deal with the sound issues. Finally got a midi ringtone to work with the wizard version, prior versions I had to convert the Midi to MP3. I have had it lock up on me a few times, but haven't figured out the cause yet.
Thanks again.

ATT WM6 iGO not working, gx.dll problem?

I've upgraded my vodafone to the at&t wm6 and iGO 2006 plus doesn't work correctly, it loads shrunken/compressed in the middle of the screen to the point of (almot) unusable, it worked fine on the wm5.
I think the problem is with the gapi, as when I tried using Morph gear with manual driver and selected gapi the screen was also compressed in the middle, and it too woked fine with gapi on wm5.
I know the GAPI is located at the gx.dll file, I can't delete or rename that file, anyone knows how to maybe put the gx.dll file from wm5 on the wm6?

Hello
I have the same Problem with I-GO and WM6
So i flashed back to WM5 :-(

treo 750v, flashback ?
I have the same problem with my treo 750v. Moreover also my phone is now locked, whereas initially I could use ith wiht any provider. I know this was nog a smart move by now. Question is how to solve this. Anybody has a clue ?
According to palm it is not possible to flash back to WM5. However I read in previous post they recovered wm5, was this also with palm 750v ?
Hope somebody can help.

how do you perform a rollback to wm5
can some help in telling me how to perform a rollback to wm5 on the treo 750v to the 1.16 firmware version.

IGO - Treo 750 - WM6 problem
Hi there!
Could you figure out something about the IGO display problem that occurs after WM6 upgrade?
I have beed playing around with the sys.txt file changing settings in the [interface] and [gx] sections. I have also tried to replace the gx.dll GAPI library with the latest one.
No success so far.
Please, let me know if you have any progress on this!
Thanks!

Solution for running iGO on Treo 750 with WM6
Please verify if the following solution works:
- Create a file in your iGO folders called sys.txt
- The file should contain the following section:
[interface]
gxoff=1
It already worked for a few Treo users.

Hi:
I would love to try this. I am somewhat of a newbie though, can you please give further instructions? I of course understood the part about creating new file, from there I got a little lost. Do I create a text document with gxoff=1 as the actual text
in it? Sorry if this is a dumb question
Thanks!

Well, am VERY happy to report, that the excellent advice given by rmplus, worked perfectly after I figured out that I had to include the entire text (I was leaving off the [interface] portion):
[interface]
gxoff=1
in a .txt file called sys.
THANKS SO MUCH

Does anyone happen to know of a fix like this for Jewel Challenge?
I am having the same problem.
Thanks!

after i did this i am getting an error:
C:\GPS_2006R3_iGOSE\firefly\base\core\ffsurface.cpp.299
Exception in EndPaint
exiting application

Hi all
I'm having exactly the same problem as gilmargolin - above. iGO 2006 worked perfectly under WM5 (one of the few programs that did). iGO Tech Support says the program is not supported on WM6, but someone must have an idea as it is only a screen resolution problem.
Cheers

Yep - verbatim. I stored the sys.txt file in the SD card iGO folder root. If I place the file anywhere else sensible, I get a hardware error. Frustrating!

That's too bad. Not to be funny, but did you make sure to include the entire text, just as it's listed?
[interface]
gxoff=1
On my first try I left off the [interface] part, and it wouldn't work.
Good Luck

Nope - nothing so simple. Sigh...

Ugh, that's too bad. Sorry I couldn't be any help.

I resolve problem Igo 2006 on Treo 750 WM6
1. Uninstall previous iGo version from Treo 750
2. Copy install files of June iGo version on the root of SD card (folders [2577] & [iGo])
3. Start autorun.exe from folder [2577]
4.Put in [Igo] folder on SD card, "sys.txt" file with
[interface]
gxoff=1
And that's it!
It works for me.

Thanks!!!
It worked perfectly!!!

Does it work really slower then how it works regularly on WM5?
On my device there are frezzes of couple of seconds.

Does PHM Registry Editor work with WinMobile 6?

Hi all,
I've tried many times to load PHM Registry Editor on my Kaiser with Windows Mobile 6 without success.
Does PHM Registry Editor work with Windows Mobile 6? If not, is there another one that may work?
Thanks,

Works for me
My installation worked.

mine too.. it is actually one of the few that did work, and pretty good.

It does work, give us some more details and let's see if we can help.
How far do you get?
Is it a Cab or Exe?
Do you get any error messages?
etc
Alternative - perhaps Total Commander using the //plugins directory.

Hi,
Okay, that's good news to me, it will work, and it's just me
Here's the details; When I goto http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}
to download, I've downloaded the ActiveSync (twice) and the CD Redistribution links and tried installing from within the phone and off my laptop via USB and each time I gotten an error on the phone saying the file is not recognizable. What am I doing wrong here?

Ok. From this site:
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
Choose this one from the list:
Pocketpc 2002 2003 arm/pxa
Move the unopened cab file to device with AS explorer function.
Tap it to install. (I have mine installed to SD card)
Mike

I have a really good reg editor here if you need it.
(Got it from.... a tool pack)
Since the upload doesn't allow this type of file... i had to zip it
anyway put it on the device of your htc phone and run it from there.
Note: its not an install, its an actual application
Another good reg editor is resco, and total commander.
(total commander's registry is in the root //)

Hi,
Wow, thanks. That worked without a hitch and I opened it up successfully on the phone. Thank you Mike, great help and right to the point. What did I miss? How would I have known that the 'PocketPC 2002.2003 (ARM/PXA)' was the file I needed for a HTC TyTNN II with Windows Mobile 6?
No to look at some of those useful edits, after a complete registry back up of course.

Just for general info on downloading file types:
Many sites offer a choice of different application file types to download I always go for the CAB file rather than the EXE file. The CAB file you install by putting it on the SD Card and tapping it. The advantage is that if you ever need to re-install you do not need your PC, just tap on the CAB again to install it.
For this and most devices nowadays you should choose:
ARM files
POCKETPC or PPC files (not smartphone)
WM5 or WM6 may also be stated. Most WM5 apps will work on WM6 and many WM 2003 apps will also work.
Nearly always if it's an EXE download then this is meant to be opened on the PC with the device connected by AS or Device Centre. Very occassionally you will come across an EXE that has to be put on the device and then run. (these rare files usually have a statement telling you to do this).

Thanks Mike, great info and very useful.
Cheers,
Phil

VOIPWM6 and GPS

I've been trying to install Internet calling on my diamond, while I managed to get the VOIP working using the WM6VOIP (ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/WMXL_Support_Files/WM6VoIP.CAB) cab file and SIP Config, another problem showed up. I have tried even the last WMVOIP+SipConfig CAB package with the same results
The moment I install the WM6VOIP cab, the internal GPS function goes dead - it does not work anymore. Soft reset will not fix the problem.
It took me 3 hard resets to figure what exactly was causing the trouble
I guess the WM6VOIP cab overwrites some system files and/or registry settings vital to the GPS Receiver
Is there anyone who had the same problem or anyone who tried to enable Internet Calling on HTC DIAMOND. Any solution to this?

Same here
I had the same problem. Hard reset to fix it.
Something in the VOIP installation makes the GPS invisible to any app which tries to use it. Even the QuickGPS app would not work.
Too bad...I would love to have the VOIP option..but not over GPS.

same problem here

So THAT'S why my GPS stopped working! Jeez! I think we need a new CAB of VoIP software from WM 6.1.
EDIT: Has anyone tried this one?

Nevermind. That one breaks GPS too and can't be uninstalled. *sigh*

same here... did you installed it manually or by a pack (containing sip config tool, gsm codec, bass fix and internet calling) ?
I installed the pack... and my gps died... but not on my HTC trinity.
Someone should install all the packages manually, one by one , and see how it goes.
Please post your findings.

Unfortunately I'm in the same boat :-(

But I found solution:
Rename in windows directory following files:
\Windows\dnsapi.dll
\Windows\ipdialplan.xml
\Windows\rtcdll.dll
\Windows\voipphonecanvas.dll
\Windows\ringback.wma
Delete all registry changes made by instalation which is described by author in post #66 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401608&page=7, reset diamond and if you want you can delete now files which was renamed in previus step.
After that go to settings->System->External GPS->Access and remove tick from "Manage GPS automatically". After that confirm with OK and go one more time in the same place and turn it on "Manage GPS automatically". I'm not sure that this change are nessesary, but now I have working GPS whitout hard reset.
