Sorry, I'm new... - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi! I'm new here, but enjoying this useful and cool forum...
Does anybody now if I loose my TomTom Software (Navigator 7) of my o2 XDA Diamond if I flash the new original HTC Rom like discribed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413320
Thanx a lot...

If Tomtom7 came in the ROM you have, it's probably in the next one so you wont lose it. Even if you do, the cab is all over XDA; easily attainable.

I think the standard htc rom doesn't have any navigation software. So there's no tomtom. Am I right???

Even if it's not cooked in the ROM, you can still download it from here.

Hello Joker
Answer to your question.
I have the instalcab from TT7 on my internal storagecard.
Every time when I change the rom I run the cab file and TT is working fine again. No need to do anything else TT finds the maps I have installed before.
So it is very easy to do.
Grtzzz

What does Album_EnableStreaming.cab do?

I have this cab and I'm not sure what it does or if I need it on my pda2k after the 1.40 rom upgrade.
I also have pp2arm.cab. Any thoughts here?
Lastly, is there a way to play Shoutcast (music streaming) on my pda2k? If so, how. I connected to my wifi, went to shoutcast.com, and tried to play a stream but couldn't. I'm not sure if this is something that is possible.
Thanks,
Tom

If you dont know what a cab does then open it, have a look at it, check the reg settings that it gives you.
For this you need Wincab manager, other applications are around as well and you will find them on wiki, in the kitchen under kitchen tools.
The other option is on wiki (were else) have a look at the avliable roms, in the ERK_XXX you will find a link to a doc of that rom and what the cabs do (it has screen shots of wincab maneger and the exported reg entries). For most of the roms that is, the cook got bored of the work and got sloppy. Dont ask me which cooked version it was, its been a long time.
Album_EnableStreaming.cab seems to date back a while:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ERK_X_106117
But, since the keys it creates are not created on their own in the new 1.40.xxx Extended roms, perhaps it does indeed still have some use.

MUST haves for newbies??

Hi all,
I've read through the various topics, but there is sooo much to add on the Kaiser. It is hard for a not so technical newbie to understand everything what is said.
The first add-on I installed was the Windows Live CAB, very usefull! With reference to my situation as a first day user, i thought it might be a good idea to open a topic for newbies with the must have files of for the Kaiser.
So, senior users and perhaps programmers.. enlighten us
Greetings Tomas
- Radio version: 1.27.12.11
- Rom versie: 1.56.114.4
- Would like to install the Iphone CAB
im a noob on the tilt and NOTHING installs properly.... has at&t sabotaged the phones ability to install cab files ?
I've never had a problem installing any cab on the tilt.
My guess is it's you. describe step by step in excruciating detail how you are trying to install and I bet the problem will surface.
And as far as must haves, there's few MUST haves. it's more of a preference after that.
you MUST have
a reg editor - if you want to tweak stuff.
a GPS program. tomtom/IG/google maps all will do
everything else is preference. Take a look at the kaiser cab post and decide for yourself what's important to you
Since this afternoon I've installer HardSPL and updated with a HTC rom, dutch language based.
I've installed several more CABs, listed in the Kaiser Cab topic, bur haven't found the Iphone Look Theme... Someone able to help me with this?
Anyone with some extra tips or tweaks?
- Radio 1.27.12.17
- ROM 1.56.404.6
iphone
do a youtube search for iphone and wisbar
i believe that in order to get the iphone look/feel you will need to buy $20 worth of software from wisbar
wisbar advanced
wisbar desktop
i believe that both are needed (thats what youtube told me)

I'll think you'll find there is something encoded into the o2 standard ROM to prevent this working. I got the same thing when trying to install GPRS monitor (comes free on the o2 apps CD). I was trying to install the older version that I'd had on my HTC Universal (o2 Executive) since WM5 days so it can't be that the ROM is out of date since it worked on a 2+ year old ROM and later a WM6 ROM from the Universal section. Once I tried installing the GPRS monitor that came with the Stellar it was fine (same program wierdly, not sure about the version number).
Not sure if this helps in any way, but o2 may have got something on their ROM that prevents certain programs from loading, since they are pushing Co-Pilot it may be that they don't want you loading up TomTom. If you think this shouldn't be the case, just look at the way most Nokia's don't play well with other manufacturers bluetooth equipment, Nokia went and made the open bluetooth standard kinda proprietary, so why not o2 with their entire OS?!
I got TomTom to work, I think it as 6.030 rather than 6.032...will play around with it...but it does wor.
Anyway I had to do a hard reset and that package now says wrong ROM servsion or some thing.
Also, there are 3 icon on the bottom right hand corner, is this that taskbar?
If so does anyone know how to remove it or maybe add more icons to it?
thanks

Yes it's the task bar. I have no idea how to remove it ( I did this once with my old HTC phone and do you think I can find the instructions on this site as to how to do it?! ). If you search on HTC home or HTC homeplug, it should give you loads of posts about how people have added more to it. Personally I want rid just to get the extra screen space, so if you find out, please share!
For the GPS thing, make sure you are either outside, or near a window, it can take a while for that first fix. Is there a GPS status page on TomTom? If so, are you getting a signal from the GPS, just no satalite lock, or not even getting a signal?

Does GPS work with Dutty's WM6.1?

i cant seem to get iGO 2006, iGO 2008 (prerelease), or MioMap to work after flashing duttys wm6.1 rom.
was anyone else with this rom able to get gps to work?
hey, after i flashed to duttys 6.1, it took a long time to make a gps connection. i ended up flashing back to one of duttys 6.0 roms for that and also the lack of voice dialing...i think its something with all 6.1 roms...
omar
i had the same problem i just changed radio rom then the gps worked straight away.
KAIS_Radinly_1.64.08.21_CustomRUU
first i would say, next time it's better to ask the questions in the rom thread where the problem belongs to... (no offense....!)
second it's a known issue with igo and some WM6.1 versions - not only dutty's versions (with dutty's March 4 edition it's working,
with the March 8 editon it was working with HTC Home music tab disabled (or disabling HTC Home in general) for me...strange, but true
peace brothers
ask the questions in the rom thread where the problem belongs to...

sorry i just noticed that most posts in the rom section are useful posts containing a rom or file, while in this section its about half attachments and half questions. so i figured i would just post where there is already questions.
thanks for the replies, but right now dutty's website is down so i cant get any radios.
i dont even know if the gps doesnt work, cuz i havent even been able to test it, as i said, the programs just wont launch. i click the .exe and the little loading thing appears for a second and nothing happens.
so until duttys site is back up..lets continue this thread?
who out there has dutty's 6.1 rom? are you using gps? what program? thanks.
Im using the March 4th edition with radio 1.64.08.21 and I have 4 programs that use the GPS, Tomtom, Google maps, the GPS today plugin and VITO's Astro Navigator. They all connect and get a fix between 4-30 sec's
Ok i found the solution, and a thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368179
with the current version of dutty's rom you have to disable the music tab on the htc home plugin, i dont know why, its pretty gay, but it works.
im gonna try and install another htc home and see if it helps.

Hide unwanted icons in programs ?

I know i can delete some from Windows/Start Menu/Programs
The ones I want to hide, are things like, Getting Started, Internet Sharing, Messenger, O2, Resco Update, Voice Recorder, Voice Speed Dial,Windows Live and Worldcard mobile.
Im sure I had a program before that did it, but cant for the life of me, remember its name, or where I got it.
Preferably free, or just one with a trial so I can hide them and then uninstall it.
Cheers,
Tony
Use a program like Total Commander to remove the link you wish from \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Total Commander is free and can be found here http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
Best bet for this one is to read the WIKI and learn how to flash a cooked ROM. Choose one you like the looks of you and you will only have the apps on it that you like. plus you will get rid of all of that bloatware operators install as default
I flashed with the new HTC one, which removed all the O2 crap.
For some reason they didnt appear (the icons i wanted to delete) when i tried the first time in file explorer.
so just to clarify you have flashed the new official ROM but still have the o2 progs on the phone?
Has it all been unlocked both SIM and CID and hard SPL'ed?
Sorry Im at bit of a loss as to how this has happened
yep, got the new rom, says 6.1 (previously 6) on startup screen, sms threading works, so its upgraded. all thats there of O2's is the program to get o2 settings. I think anyway.
Before i upgraded, i had a small O2 taskbar with a little O2 task manager, thats now gone.
I have had the phone a few days, and while briefly reading over the wiki, havnt had a good in depth read yet, so i have no idea how to check if its sim or cid free, or hard spl'ed.
I tried using hard spl, but got a white screen, so i followed a tutorial in another thread and it worked.
(And the 4th edit ) ... I assume it is sim/cid free, when i tried running the update utility the first time it said something along the lines of its not possible with that carrier.
If it says not possible with carrier then to me it would suggest that it still is SIM locked search for OliPros SMI/CID unlocker and follow the instructions on that to unlock the handset. If it has been updated to WM6.1 and still having probs after you have followed all of these steps then these programs are more than likely cooked into that ROM so there is no physical way of uninstalling them as they are part of the OEM. But TBH you would be better off getting one of the cooked ROMs from our ROM section as they work a damn sight better than the official release and incluse much better apps
It 'said' not possible, then i used another app, which i deleted since and cant remember.
Then it updated fine.
I have now installed everything and re-set it up 3 times. I might wait a while before flashing to a custom rom. Its all the talk of radios that confuses me at the moment. Like i said, when i get chance, ill sit and read through everything properly.
lol I was the same when I first started but you will find that everyone on this forum will help you if you ask nicely. Also although the flashing sounds complicated its really as simple as dl the ROM and click a couple buttons on your PC.
BTW Welcome to XDA
Thanks
First chance i get ill sit down and read properly
Right, i think I have installed Duttys rom correctly.
Device information now says,
Rom Version : Dualtouch v6 WWE
ROM Date : 03/04/08
Radio Version : 1.65.16.25
SMS works, calls work, internet works, my only gripe so far is a slow boot time, it seems slower than before.
Now to install everything again for a 4th time
