Whats up with the Diamond folder on the ftp?? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I was trying to look what's on the Forum ftp and I noticed that I can't get to the 'Diamond' folder?
All other folders ( I haven't tried all ) I can get in to.. but not 'Diamond...
I think this would be an excellent place to upload all Games, Apps, SPL, ROM's, themes....and so on... and have it linked with the wiki!
I think the wiki isn't being used as it should... or am I wrong?
Anyone know anything about this?
I'm sorry if this shuld have been posted somewhere else, but it is about the Diamond...

hi there. you know, there is a problem with storing MS property... microsoft said, that we cannot store ROMs, radios and other MS stuff, because you just bought license to use that software, no that software itself. too bad, because now you need to search a lot for older versions of ROMs and software, and it is not on one place. There is also a petition against microsoft to allow us sharing and modification of their windows mobile. if you are intrested, sign in - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294213

ok, that to bad
As you said, now everything is scaddered all over...
But It's still the best place for me and my Diamond!
BIG thanx to everybody!
Yeah, I've signed the petition!

HELP...drowning in lack of knowledge

Hey there,
Trying my best to keep up with this site. I'm not a PC user, I am a MAC user. My knowledge of upgrading my MDA is weak and i really have no idea how to. I hear of REGISTRIES alot on this site. And that changing them is the only way to update my device to make it "better."
Is there a thread(s) or advice someone could post for me regarding updating and upgrading my device. I'm eager to understand what ROM's and REGISTRIES can do for me and how I change them. I just have no clue.
Since I'm on a MAC will I be able to UPGRADE my device with out a PC? I apologize for asking such basic questions. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
whalien
whalien - the registry is a central tree type information store used by all modern windows operating systems to store system based info, eg your registered name, gprs settings etc.
This stuff can be hacked directly on the device, in fact that's the easiest way. Use a registry editor, some are free, I believe PHM has one, and some aren't. But for what you need to do, PHM should be fine.
Read the wiki or the necessary threads on what each hack does, centralising it, although useful, would never be complete since there's an endless world in the registry.
It can be dangerous - so backing up your phone is useful, but just don't be too hamfisted and delete huge chunks of the registry, and you'll be fine.
Other questions I'll leave to someone else.

backing up the phone
what should i back up? i just bought a 512MB miniSD. also, i don't have a PC so i've no interface to use between my home computer and my device.
thanks for the insight on the registry. kinda scary to think i could totally screw my phone up and that T-Mobile won't have to help me because that voids the warranty.
any more thoughts? i really appreciate your response.

Siris Radio Won't Work

I can log in but can't play sound,I have an account w/siris any helep please.
TRY posting in only one place people will be more happy to help you! Also this has nothing to do with Kaiser upgrading so I'm sure posting it over there was a mistake right? Does sirus have a mobile client that runs on WM6? that would probably be a good place to start

Are you using THIS PROGRAM or just the normal website?
Either way, you way want to try adding these WMP 9 Codex files to your \Windows directory. (It says something about reloading TCPMP .. but if you didn't have it don't worry about it).
*for either of the links above, I believe you have to be a registered user .. but it's free (and no, i have no affiliation to the site or program)

Do Not Use This..

DO NOT USE THIS!!

I tried to use this app to create a cab file. It has an internal virus that changes the username of your phone to a Chinese variant when the created cab is run. (not sure why?)
Knew nothing about this until my Worldmate and Resco shut down on my TyTynII (they check their codes with username everytime you sync online).
Guess AV for WM is something to look at now!!
A virus? I doubt it...
Don't overreact and waste money on virus program for WM6. The experts may correct if I am wrong but I still can remember only 1 test case of a "sample" virus in windows mobile a few years back.
And changing your phone's user name to the chinese equivalent, considering it is possibly written by someone who is, uh, chinese, doesn't constitute a virus.

I did not suggest to anyone to go out and buy AV software but, I can send you the .cab file if you would like to check for youself??
A virus or Trojan would not have to specifically work with onboard comms apps on the WM unit but so many people (especially in the US) are tethering there devices now giving a 'back door' so to speak..
It would not take much for a small packe on your WM device to drop items into your Outbox and when you sync, hey presto, it goes.
Basic PC AV would not see this.
EDIT: OK, for want of a better term, cal it Malware...Take a look at this, it's a bit long winded but gives you some idea. http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/reference/malicious.threats.to.pdas.html

ATT Tilt Basic Software

I cant find a copy of MobiTV, the ATT version of Cellular video or the ATT Xm radio app. Now I have searched an come up with only things that have not worked on my machine. They are older apps, from 8525 and Cingular.
I made a thread about this in upgrades but some smarmy mod popped out links and basically called me a moron for not searching. Well guess what none of that **** you linked me to worked. All of it was very old as well.
Im hoping someone will be able to pull the .cab installs of of the actual NEW ATT Tilt rom. I was able to find the newest xpress mail on my own. I also found the 8925 NEW version of Telenav.
guess im not as dumb as those mods think, since my .cabs are up to date ABD THEY WORK on your new device.
btw the new search is HORRIBLE i cant just search the Kaiser area when i want.
the search tab
+1 for the new search tab not being easy to use.
Don't know if this will help..I had to put the files from the OperatorPKG into a ZIP file...
It contains.
MobiTV Application
MobiTV shortcut
MobiTV chunk file - whatever this is???
Hope this helps
You do not need the cellular video cab...it only has the URL of cingularvideo.cingular.com and a realplayer install in it... DO you have streaming media or realplayer installed on your phone???
To get CellularVideo to work properly...
1st.... open IE and go to cingularvideo.cingular.com
2nd... Try and click on the link....
(a) if link opens up in either realplayer or streaming media your done
(b) if link opens up realplayer or streaming media but it will not connect
you need to do the following....
(i) use a file explorer on your phone that will show hidden files
(ii) open up realplayer from the .exe file in the file explorer. It
should open up just the player.
(iii) when the player opens, you need to click on options and make
sure the connect option is going through MEdiaNet
(iiii) after doing this, save and close the realplayer.
(iiiii) go back to cingluarvideo.cingular.com and try again it
will work.
3rd.... If you have not already, make sure you restoreProxy
4th... If the above directions do not work I have attached the CellularVideo
cab file which was found by searching google.
thanks guys
this new ****ing garbage search wont even let you decide if u wanna search by date or by relevance...choose a forum
y would they do something so much worse?
I'll bite since you obviously made an effort. Otherwise you would have gotton a generic response to go to the ATT forums. ;-) (Kind of a revote against newbs lately.)
The cabs are hard to find. The download I put here is NOT the cabs. They're just ripped from the ROM.
Drop the files in your Program Files directory and delete the vars.chunk files to restore the trial period.
the first mobitv installl in this thread didnt work for me.... thanks for this one... i still need cellular tv, that custel file wont work with mobile 6.1 on the 8925

The cabs are hard to find. I just ripped the stuff from \program files. It's all you need really. This is from the Windows 6.1 ATT ROM, so I know they aren't old.
NOTE: delete the vars.chunk file for these otherwise the trial will be expired when you try to launch.
NOTE: Search using google: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:xda-developers.com+mobitv

your stuff ACTUALLY WORKED! very cool
The site admin is working dilligently to offer as many useful search options as humanly possible.
Ironically when the original search was the only choice everyone complained that it was crap, now with it replaced by google al o the sudden it was "the bee's knees".
Shortly Admin should have both Google & vBulletin (original) in the search dropdown. Eventually they might even be able to add functionality to the google option but give them time guys. It's not like you flip a switch and get a 3rd party search integrated exactly as you want.

yes you are as dumb as the mods think. you just had to start another thread on this. if you had actually read through the link i gave you, you would have known that ppl are using it on the kaiser eventhough it is from the hermes forum. as for being an older version, the mobitv is newer than the one thats being shipped on the new at&t rom, i know, because i actually checked.

I have never needed an additional app to use XM Radio. The site:
http://xstreamxm.com/mobile/
will stream XM Radio through Windows Media Player on your device.

You can always ask a friend or co-worker for their account info. Also, if you know someone who has an XM Radio, but doesn't have/use the online account, you can get or ask them for their radio ID and sign up for the account online yourself.
XM Radio accounts can be used by multiple people/computers at one time, whereas Sirius accounts cannot.

haha, ok, fair enough.....let me rephrase my statement then, that cause u KNOW someone with an xm account.
good info though
ok, first of all if i get flamed or banned for this your a biatch, second of all i downloaded the streaming.CAB for my tilt yesterday, but when I want to connect it goes to a address input bar that starts with a rtsp://....
The question is do you have to subscribe to a media stream for this to work

move favorites from tomtom6 to tomtom7

hey guys, i recently upgraded to tomtom7, however, i would like to also move all my favorites from tomtom6 without having to manually enter all of them. where would i find those on my memory card so i can transfer them? thanks
omar
Anyone?
This is something I've been trying to find how as its incredibly frustrating, I can't see anything in the original documentation or anything on how to do this.
Have you tried here, http://www.tomtom.com/support/support.php?ID=2&Language=4???????????????
This is XDA-Developers, not TomTom support. Geesh!

Correct, and unless I'm very mistaken many people discuss various 3rd party software applications, their merits and also tweaks/twiddles to make them work correctly on their Kaiser, etc.
Checking the software forum I see various other topics that you could apply the same logic to.
BTW; TomTom actually advise to manually re-enter the favourites between versions, which isn't a very good customer support reply in my opinion. I'm now following a path which shows the .cfg in the maps folder seems to be the key to migrating favourites over.
