sorry, posted it on the move (while walking out with friends), from a Tablet PC, using text recognition and a non-unlimited Internet connection - couldn't look up the URL's.
(I post quite a lot while on the move from either my Tablet PC or my Blackberry)

Thank you for the articles. I have a feeling however that none of the applications presented work on Vista...

Webcamera Plus will work - at least the camera part, not the mike, under the x64 version. (see http://www.ateksoft.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1412 ). Not that you'd lose much with the absence of sound (it's pretty low-quality - see my remarks in the article) - as long as your notebook / desktop doesn't have a mike, that is.

Thank you, I'll try it.
EDIT: Tried - can't get it to work on Vista 32. Programs runs but won't connect to the phone camera. Oh well...

Hi !
I just bought WebCameraPlus (15 euros).
Unfortunately, even though when installing on my PC I am asked if I also want to install it on my smartphone (I have an HTC TOUCH DIAMOND), the software only ends up being installed on the PC, NOT on the smartphone.
Any help will be heartily appreciated, thanks in advance !

go in c:/program files/WebCam plus/ you will find the cab to install in your phone

WebCamera Plus seems interesting, but your friend also has to use WebCamera Plus to see you!. i though you could video chat with your phone front cam with your friend that is using official MSN,yahoo or ichat

Thanks in advance.

Yes, just follow the instructions
wow this version is a major improvement. much faster. i recomend it the most out of the wing roms i've tried, it's the best optimized. no bugs found yet. the only thing i don't like is that touchflo is mapped to one of the soft keys... but i can change that :]
Hey
i'm really new at smartphones and i decided to get me a T-Mobile Wing and i'll actually go buy it tomorrow, as i've done some research on this site i'm plannin on installight TouchFLO on it but i'm not exactly sure as to how it works and as my 1st phone i dont wonna messi it up from the 1st time. Does installing this package act like installing a different OS on a computer or just a deeper way to install programs ? I have a pretty good computer knowledge but i'm VERY new when it comes to Smartphones. Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forums. Hopefully you'll see that Windows Mobile phones are useful and fun, especially when you flash and reflash. It gets kind of addicting. The TouchFlo is software that allows you to use your fingers to control the movement on you screen much like the multi-touch does for the iPhone. When you flash new software to your phone, you are changing the operating system of the phone (in your case the Wing), but it's nothing major (say like upgrading XP to Vista) because the WIng has Windows Mobile 6 on it already. All you're doing is adding functionality to it.
Please be careful when flashing though. Read and Follow all the instructions carefully before you attempt anything. Also if you have questions I would advise you to search the forums before asking. Most of the time you won't be the first or only person to come across a problem, and the answer will most likely have been provided.
Good luck!
the proxy setting works?
Hi, I am pretty new to this PPC phone area and I managed to install the touchflo on my wing correctly yesterday. Very nice OS but there is only one thing I can not use the proxy I was using before to use T-mobile web to connect to the internet. Does someone know how to correct this issue? thanks...

Hi,
I also, notice that this rom as with other PDAVIET roms runs better with an 8MB page file. The touchflo opens and moves smoother when you swip the screen.
This is just my two cents.

Windows Live + Front camera

I am planning to buy Kaiser,
Can this camera act as 'webcam' for windows live messenger???
with a software it can.
I can act as webcam for your PC. You can't use it as webcam in messenger on your phone. You can only send pics with your phone using the camera.
Thanks
looks like... either I was not clear in my question... or I have contradicting answer...
xmoo - I asked for the using of front camera as webcam on the phone itself - which Jewcookie has said 'not possible'...
xmoo - if it is possible to make the front camera as webcam on the TyTn-II itsef... let me know the software

It;s not posible to use it while being on msn on your phone. But you can use the phones camera (dunno front but the back works) as a webcam when linked to the computer (msn on computer). I forgot the software name, it is actualty for the TyTN, but it works for the TyTN II. You could try to search there or start a topic there.
peace.

New DIamond - So far so good

Ok. I got mine in the afternoon...from Expansys am sorry to say (price and all).
So far I installed:
Destinator 7 - works if you copy the whole directory in the Interna Storage (It wont recognise the maps if you leave it in the Device memory)
TomTom 6.03 works
Pocket navigator Cyprus - Doesnt work
PPC Toolman - works and therefore I will dare to install IGO8 tomorrow and see if it works.
SlingPlayer for PPC works just fine.
Visual IT Tube2 works fine.
I have the Tytn II and the transition is a bit difficult but I am getting there.
Will let you know more as I intall more programs
Seeing as you bought one from Expansys, could you check to see how much ram it comes with??. Someone over at their forums said his came with 128mb of ram when production/retail units should have 192mb of ram. Also a member here has asked in one of the threads so would be helpful if you could clear that up for us.

It comes with 192 MB . No cd for a GPS software.
Update: Igo8 doesnt work even if I change the SYS.txt line from Storagecard to Internal Storage as suggested in other forums.
Any help would be appreciated

You can use Total Commander for ppc or PHM regeditor (http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/RegEdit/).
I read in some reviews that the device is somewhat "Sluggish"can you give us some details on the general behavior and responses in general
Hi Athosk, you say slingplayer works fine. It is very smooth or jerky but watchable? I have experienced it on the HTC universal, Tytn II and Advantage so far and have to say the performance of it on those phones is in that order i.e. universal is the best one out of the three (but still not brilliant). If you could post the frames per second you are getting on the diamond that will be great.

No, Slingplayer works fine. You can only see a very very thin line of colours but that is not something that would bother u.also in landscape mode u don't see anything so it's ok

Ok, you will be surpised by this...When i run Tube 2 by Visual IT and i perform a simulation from one station to another, the Tytn 2 works a second faster than the Diamond. I still don;t know why, since the Diamond has a faster processor

Thanks for your response. If i install another rom, will i lose all my existing settings/programs/ and contacts?
And also where can I get other roms from? (Sorry to sound stupid, but just like to be double sure).
Thanks in advance!!1
Also no RPD build-in for me!!
Just install thisone, work perfect
Okay I have this installed on my diamond and have a few questions.
Im remoting onto a vista laptop, Im connecting okay.. however no matter what I set in the remote desktop mobile options, I cannot see any mapping for my handheld device to transfer files. Ive tried My Computer, Ive tried Network.. nothing. Why? Any advice?
Secondly, the pocketnow video demonstrating remote desktop mobile being run on the diamond in landscape mode. I see no option for this.. how can it be done?
Thirdly, if you run remote desktop mobile in full screen you seem to lose access to the disconnect button and SIP. Any suggestions?
The CAB file works great for me, but it's not possible to access the telephone's memory through the explorer on the remote machine, like described here: http://www.pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=5454
So it's not possible to get music from home for example... Does anyone know, why? Of course it's possible to put the requested files into a apache-folder and download it using opera, but thats not the best way.
I didn't see the message from "darthbane2k", but my questions are the same
I'm guessing the CAB file on the previous page is an older version with less features. Parhaps one from WM6, not WM6.1?
+1 for someone who would like the cab file for the latest-and-greatest Remote Desktop client for WM6.1
..am currently looking at two Diamonds (my now TLR2-based test unit and my 1.37.401.3-based stock production unit) and neither have it installed, however I do vaguely remember seeing it a while back on he test unit which originally was a HK import and thus old ROM. Guessing now removed (in some markets at least)?
Cheers.
Nope.. I definately have the new version as the allow device mapping is in the options. Even when ticked, I still cannot see my mapped device when connecting to a remote computer (Vista home premium)
It works fine on my diamond, both within the LAN as well as per 3G. However is there a possibility to get keyboard to be able to enter things as well?

Yup, it's plain WM6, not 6.1.
WM6.1 RDP
It did not work for me either.
So I started a petition on this blog http://max.zamorsky.name/2008/11/04...bile-into-touch-diamond-and-all-current-roms/ to collect comments as a means to persuade HTC and Microsoft to include RDP in every ROM by default.
They seem to misunderstand who their lead-users are...
Please comment to help me make our lives easier.

If you want to use your device as the streaming one, try webcamera plus, by Ateksoft

At least now anyone reading this in the future will know.
try qik.com
Unfortunately Qik does not work with many of the new Roms. I've tried a few and the kaiser locks up and needs hard re-booting. Too bad cause it's a pretty interesting application.
livecast
i use livecast. It works. At least, on the 8525 with every rom I threw at it. Works on stock att tilt too. I haven't flashed any roms yet, so.. worth a try.
