HI ALL,
risidoro is back!
EDIT: VERSION 11.1.7.1023 IS NO MORE THE LATEST ONE. I'VE PUBLISHED THE MOST UPDATED VERSION (.1034) HERE. PLS USE THAT ONE AND DO NOT CONSIDER ANY MORE THE POST BELOW!!!
I'm here to release a New and Improved version of the great:
Intent MIDlet Manager version 11.1.7.1023
This new MIDlet Manager comes from the new HTC Herald ROM, version 1.2.405
This new version is JTWI 1.0 compliant and SUPPORTS Google's SATELLITE Maps (of course, you need to download Google Maps' client from www.google.com/gmm).
This release also supports sending SMSs from Opera Mini 3.0 (mini.opera.com)!!!
Some Details about the program:
Developer: Intent
Name: MIDlet Manager
Version: 11.1.7.1023
Build: 20060907
JWTI v.1.0 Compliance!
------- HOW TO INSTALL ------------
- Download Risidoro's Intent MIDlet Manager version 11.1.7.1023
- extract the cab (inside the archive) somewhere in your PC (e.g. Desktop)
- copy to somewhere in your PocketPC (e.g. \storage card)
- in your PocketPC, navigate with File Manager to the cab and tap on it to install
- when asked, choose to install in the Device (and NOT in Storage Card!)
- reboot when asked
PS: It can be installed over previous version (or in roms where the old midlet is included)!
-------- WORKING MIDLETS ---------------
So far, i've only tested it with the midlets i use the most.
- Google Maps runs fine. Satellite maps are supported!!!
- Opera Mini 3.0 runs OK too and supports SMS sending. Even softkeys works! Photo blog feature, however, is not supported
- Mobile GMaps, beta 1.30.08. Simply wonderful. Sat images for google and yahoo maps.
- MobileMule (latest beta) works ok.
-------- PROBLEMS SO FAR (and possible solutions) ---------------
- a user wasn't able to use this version to connect to the Internet through a proxy
---> use a direct connection to the Internet; check your proxy; downgrade to the old MIDlet manager version.
- the cab cannot be installed due to a security warning
---> soft-reset and retry; use MS Certificate Powertoy for Windows Mobile 5 to disable all the security checks
- If you want to revert back to the old version of the Intent MIDlet manager:
Download the Intent MIDlet manager version 10.1.7.551
Bye bye
ENJOY

Great job as always risidoro!
Thanks!

Thanks...will install shortly.

Sweet, thanks! I was just lamenting this problem a couple of days ago.

Great work! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the file. I'll give it a try later.

Thanks!
As always, you rock!

Great work and thanks a lot

Thanks for the file, Risidoro. I have downloaded it, and will try it later. Good to have a better midlet manager.
For those concerned with using gmaps on their phone, however, there are a couple free native Windows Moble programs which will display such maps. I find them much more convenient than using a Java midlet, no matter how good the midlet manager might be.
One such program is called Map4PDA, another one is Virtual Earth Mobile. And there is also Microsoft's new beta "Live Search". There may be more, these three come to mind right away. (I don't have the URLs handy. You can find them with a search.)
There is also another Java midlet map program called MGMAPS, which I find more flexible than Google's GMAPS. (It will show the Google maps, or the Microsoft maps, or Yahoo maps, and has other more flexible features.) However, I still find it much simpler to use a Windows Mobile app, rather than a Java midlet.

why use the google one? dny238 found an app that is free and blows the google maps out of the water.

will even allow you to use your gps reciever with it and update the image as your driving.. just my .02 cents
and if i could learn to read it looks like "me" mentioned this one above

I prefer native applications too (although i couldn't live without Opera Mini) but microsoft's maps haven't a good satellite coverage in italy compared to google maps so i don't like MSN virtual earth or Live search very much. I didn't know Map4PDA and i'm going to install it very soon, i hope it supports google sat maps!
Thanks for the suggestions. Let me know if you remember some other google maps compatible native software.
Bye

I can read and yes, i know MS's Live search; however, as i said, MSN satellite maps are not much detailed outside US, especially in Italy.
With Google sat maps i can zoom over my house until i can even see my car parked in front of it! With MSN sat maps i can only see all my town, when i try to zoom more i see a message informing the area is not mapped.
BTW, i've just tried map4pda and i've found it slower than mgmaps (a midlet). Map4pda is a .Net 2 application so it's not a real 'native' application, its code is managed (or runtime) exactly like any java applet.
I'll stick with mgmaps until i find a real, compiled, ppc application.
Anyway, if you believe in the newer-is-better paradigm like me (*), you will want to update your midlet manager with the newer version i posted. Just my two cents.
(*) the paradigm doesn't apply to MS's latest OS. IMHO, XP (or 2003 server) is ways better than Vista!

i guess i sometimes forget that not everywhere is covered as detailed as the US..
anyway, im getting ready to try this on my 8525/hermes and will let you know if it works on it!
**EDIT**
works great on the hermes, and im lazy and posted this copy/paste on the hermes board, and gave you the proper credit for the work!

thanks but I wasn't able to complete the install of the new MM on my MDA Vario II (Hermes) due to some "security warnings". after going back to some previous midlet manager (v10.1.7.551) I ALWAYS get an error message (sth like "midlet won't run") if I try to run ANY java midlet (jar or jad). any ideas on how to solve this?

Try soft resetting your phone before installing the CAB.

FWIW, the Map4PDA works well with a bluetooth GPS receiver and Faria's 12mb AKU3.2 ROM RC1. (I overclock and plug in the charger and the phone/map/GPS plotting zips along).

I tried installing this version yesterday, but found I cannot connect via a proxy on my tzones setup. I uninstalled and put the version I pulled from X's extended ROM and it worked fine. Not sure if anyone is interested, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Works great, but I cannot find the midlet manager.

I found it out when I tried to install google map. I don't know how useful the jvm could be, is there an individual installation package?
If you are using a 2.26 you'll need to install separate JMM cab file to get the MIDlet manager (sorry, I don't know where to get this, it is missing from the T-mobile 2.26 CE ROM) .
If you are on 2.25 or earlier, just create a shortcut to windows\jmm.exe
Map4PDA is far better than Google map as it lets you use Yahoo, Google, Ask and MSN maps within the one program. It does require .Net2 to be installed though. I use it with a bluetooth gps and it is quick enough to update over gprs on Tmobile web&walk certainly when walking and in car as long as you don't drive too quickly :wink:
Thank you all for the answers, here is a more generic one:
How important is it to have a JMM? Besides the GMM/other map utilities, what other COOL applications are we going to miss?
Cool? Java? C'mon.

JAVA midlets don't run on my Kaiser

Hi guys,
I'm very pleased by my Kaiser (bougth from HTC). great features, feels great also, GPS great, communication tools great... The only problem I've run into is JAVA. On my kaiser the java midlets don't run...
I've noticed that once I've downloaded the Mini Opera 4 and tried to run it. The instalation worked as it should but when I've tried to run it all I get is the gif image with the running man (I guess is the midlet loading notification) but after that the application is closing (including the JAVA manager). I've tried other java applications and all are installed ok but I wasn't being able to run them (the same behavior).
I've thought that maybe it's becasue of the JAVA manager so I've installed first the Esmertec Jbed java manager and after that the MIDlet Manager (TAO Intent) but with no better luck... On Esmertec Jbed I get the same behavior as with the default java manager and with MIDlet manager I cannot even install any java midlet.
1) Did anyone had this kind of behaviour or anybody knows what should I do in order to get the JAVA midlets running?
2) becasue the Midlet Manager didn't let me to install any midlets and I've read also on the wiki Midlet Bible that it's worse than Esmertec Jbed I've uninstalled it from "Remove programs" (and it's not there anymore) but it still appears on my Programs list (and if I click on it it opens).
Do you know how can I remove it completly from my kaiser?
Thank you for your time,
Emil

1, welcome to XDA-Devs
2, the reason it doesn't run is also stated in the Bible: you're using a non-Western regional settings.
There're two fixes for your problem:
a, set your reg settings to ANY Western region (including Eastern countries otherwise only using Western alphabet; for example, Estonia)
b, install the just-reviewed 2.1 version of Jbed (it's at the bottom of the MIDlet Bible), it doesn't have this problem (but doesn't support sound). See the UPDATE (11/23/2007).
Thank you Menneisyys.
Yes the encoding was the problem... Now it works
Again thank you.
Regarding the complete removal of the Midlet Manager? It's not on the "Remove program" list anymore but it appears on the Program list and if I click on it it opens.. So it's still installed. Do you know how can I remove it?
Anyway, thank you again for your great help
Ok I've managed to remove the MIDlet Manager for good
I've removed it from \Windows\Startup\Programs, deleted the \Storage\Programs\TAO folder and also I've deleted all the entries in the registry that contains the "tao" word (which was the special word that I didn't know until I've looked again over what MIDlet Manager is).
OK, great forums and great community. Glad to be part of it.
All the best,
Emil
Glad to be able of help

Office Communicator 2007 .CAB?

I asked this question a while ago in the Wizard forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2170324
And didn't get any replies that helped me
I managed to make a package that works to some degree however I can't get the Today item to appear or be available, however launching the application it does work.
If anyone can help I can post the package I have so far?
We have now this at work so I would like to get a working package so I don't have to keep installing it following a re-flash or hard-reset. I know I could include the .cab in the ROM build and then add it to the list of .cabs to be executed after a hard reset, but I would like to get it in the ROM and it's like a challenge now...
Cheers
Andy
This isn't free software is it...for what I found on Windows Communicator 2007 it appears you can download a 60 day version for trial only!
yep the mobile version is free...
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...24-F216-4887-92B0-F37D942E26E0&displaylang=en
Microsoft Office Communicator - Downloaded from here
first result on google
I guess that's why many on the forum ignored this post. Anyhow, did any use this software? What special use can it be good for?

We use MS OCS (Office Communication Server) at work. It is the basis for the Office Communicator Client which is a Windows Live Messenger-like IM client for Corporate use. It integrates with your IP-PBX via SIP - its quite a big product and lets M$ compete in a different market....
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/communicationsserver/default.aspx
The Mobile Client is free and I use it currently on my HTC Kaiser (used to use it on my old Wizard) when I am in the office (WiFi). I would just like to include it in the ROM and so far I can't work out what extra bits happen as part of the .cab install that don't with the ROM package...
Andy
Resurrect this thread....
I never managed to get this to work as an OEM package so I ended up cooking the .CAB into my ROM and auto-installing it via the 'config.txt' file. I thought I would update my kitchen with the latest versions of applications I have in it and I thought I would try again with Office Communicator Mobile 2007.
Anyway I cooked it into my latest ROM and again it didn't appear on the today screen - it also isn't in the list of Today Items to select (however all the registry entries exist). As part of the OEM package I created a shortcut to the Communicator.exe in the 'Office Mobile' folder and I can launch it and use it without problems - the issue is it doesn't appear on the Today Screen like it does if manually installed via the .CAB.
Now after I have launched it once and then go back to the Today Settings 'Communicator Mobile' is now there and works!!! However if the device is soft-reset it returns to its previous state - not on the Today Screen and not in the list of items to select for display on the Today Screen.
Anyone know what it likely to be the problem as it looks like it can only be something simple?
Andy
Can it be used as a SIP client for paid VOIP providers, or just for the MS server?

Useful Applications, Games, Task Managers, Calendars Needed

hi, I have an HTC Fuze and I'd like to add useful applications to it. What's a good task manager? Are there any free/fun games for the Fuze out there? What applications do you find useful?
I currently have TF3D, Diamond Tweak, HTorch 3.2 and Tipster.
I'm fairly new at WM 6.1 so any assistance would be appreciated.
Unfortunately my crystal ball is currently in repair, could you be a bit more specific?
You could start with reading, or use the search option.
(I don't know what you find useful or like so no suggestions)
I'd like to know what kind of applications people have on their devices. I suppose I'd Like a better task program, free games. I'm not sure which programs are useful, but could you tell me what programs you are currently running?
So far I have added Google Maps (great app for navigating and very accurate gps) and I am planning on MS Outlook for mobile as the phones built in mail program is having issues with government mail servers ( i cant send new mail).
I am also working on software to use gps to track my distance and time when I go running.
for podcasts and rss, viigo
i would recommend dashwire if you're into mobile backup and such
PANDORA free definitely (resolution is a bit funky)
tickertape for stocks
diamondcubes
pedometer on occasion
total commander for registry tweaks or just a far better alt. to file exp.
stopwatch
lightsaber
gyrator 2 for full acce. function.
lumos for better backlight manage
skyfire for faster browsing
weather database editor for more cities
herg62123 for different clocks, sliders, and a landscape tf3d
his slide to answer port from blackstone.
that's about all the helpful things i can think of. hope this helps.
Do you need GPS for google maps to use it? Where can I download google maps for my Fuze? It seems that my Fuze is a bit a sluggish, how can I up the speed for TF3D? I already have Diamond Tweak and TF 3d Config.

the best way to really wake up your Fuze is to flash with custom rom. Course HardSPL first.
How do you input your signature? What is a Hard SPL?
Dude I don't mean to be rude but you really need to search. Alot of the answers you're after can be found in the wiki or the sticky threads at the top of the forums.
This is one of the best forums around with some of the most helpfull members, but with questions like this and members who refuse to search people wont stay nice for long.

Here you go http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=site%3Aforum.xda-developers.com+raphael+hardspl. Look at the first link. You input your signature using the UserCP on the left hand side of the brown bar at the top. and as for games and such, several people have Links to 4shared accounts in their signatures. Feel free to browse, download, and experiment.

You can use NoniGPS Plot for this, it will automatically put it into a KML file for insertion to Googleearth or googlemaps. Give it a try might give you some ideas for new addons, also i'd love to see your gps software when finished GL!
As far as this post goes programs i find useful are, notepad , I don't use a lot of apps excep imap pusher service, and also for games i really enjoy G-Invaders. Manila customizer is a good one for customizing your touch flow 3D. Also Pandora, is an amazing music streaming software even over edge network it works quite well. I use that on my decomissioned kaiser, over WiFi.
Hope that helps!

Google Map for i8000

Hi guys
I tried Omnia B7610 today and realised there is Google Map installed in the phone. My friend claimed it was pre-installed.
How can I find this Google Map app to install in i8000?
I went to Google but it stated that i8000 is not supported and have to use internet style instead.
Kind bro.... Pls advice.
Rgds
it should be preinstalled or at least the cab should be on your I8000 as default.
if not, you can get a copy on google @
xyz.google.com/mobile/maps/ ( sorry your going to have to mod that addresse as i cant put the link in directly being a noob here . take the XYZ out lol )
id go for the newer version as it suports now the internal GPS. the preinstalled google maps is ok but not as complete.
cheers.
You can just point your mobile web browser (other than built in explorer) to m.google.com and select maps.
For Google Maps install cab and others to;
- Go to Start -> Smart Search
- Select Web tab
you will see various cabs availalbe to install from both Google and Bing.
Hey.
I had the same problem. But I seriously just googled Google Maps App I8000 and took the first hit to download the app.
I didn't find the preinstalled version or the .cab on my phone, but if it doesn't support the internal GPS anyway it's good a got a newer version.
Very helpful stuff, thanks. I googled it but wasn't sure how to get working on my Omnia
