hi ,
I cant find my storage card in now rom ( the one with GPS)!
any idea or solution?
In Vista ?? Or in WinMo ?
In Windows Mobile you won't see your SD card. Period. It's not supported by the Shift.
In Vista, your SD card will dissapear quite often , after hibernating or so.
I expierenced that when you enable READYBOOST on the SD card, the SD Card will be found after a hibernation event. At least, it will be found more often.
There's a couple of threads on this subject already, try do a search or two , or just browse
Thanx M8.
the Q: is if i need to install nav software in WM what to do ? no enough space and some of nav software asking for memory card?!
by the way how did you mange to run or test nav in windows M,and vista ?
You are pretty much *****
If you like to install BIG stuff on the Windows Mobile side, your pretty much *****
There is just NO way you will be able to store more than aboput 20 Megabyte on your WinMo side, no access to your SD, nor to your Harddrive in Vista.
Maybe, in a distant future, the Shift Project Team will find a solution, but it may be even technically impossible...who knows... if there's no physical connection....
Note : From Vista, one can install a certificate to WinMo...using a button on Vista.... so...it is possible to move data from Vista to WinMo without liberation, without doing anything...so reversing that might give access to the HD, from winMo (far far fetched idea)
To use navigation on your litte gem, you could use the Canadian Rom with Telenav, buy a serial key, and navigate.
The most abvious option would be to install Sygic, PC Navigator 8, or (mostly not working on Vista) Autoroute 2007 / 2008 on Vista, and have an external Bluetooth GPS , or use the GPS from the Shift..
How to exactly configure Vista to get the GPS parsed from WinMo is still unclear to me.

Dear all,
can anyone of you give me a hint how I could access at least the storage card on my Herald WM6. I would't even need to sync, accessing the files would be just fine. Untill now I've played with WiMo (http://sourceforge.net/projects/wimo/), multisync, opensync, synce.
I've not tried bluetooth as I don't have bluetooth on the PC.
What do I miss?. Wht have I overlooked? Do I miss a driver, protocol or module?
Thanks for your help
wm6 was designed with microsoft's vista in mind. So the first problem is that your wm6 device will require the latest activesync version on the computer. Most linux emulators don't work with this version and can't emulate the latest active sync.
The solution is to either wait for new emulators, revert to windows xp instead of linux, or downgrade the wm6 to wm5 wich is more compatible with these emulators.
Search for wm5storage on google.
It allows to export your pocketpc as usb mass storage so you can mount it on any OS.
Have fun.
Yeah, thanks for this.
This is a real recommendation and all that I wanted to have for now. I can mount the storage card with read/write access and I can manage my files.
Thx
Awesome... I'm glad you guys posted this, bc this had come to mind the other day and I was wondering if it was possible.
What is the best satnav software to have on HTC Diamond? I noticed that my Compaq IV has Co Pilot pre-installed (trial version), but I've always been using TomTom on my Vario II. I've noticed a lot of people tend to be installing on TomTom on the Diamond.
I spent about 5 hours yesterday trying to install TomTom v7 with GB maps but was not able to get the maps to show. I also checked several different walkthroughs how to install TomTom 7 to no avail.
So if anybody can help me on how I can get TomTom or if CoPilot is also recommended, how I can get this working fully?
where did you download tomtom7?
download again or try with other maps
I tried several different location each with their own walkthrough and it seems like it always works for others but theres always the few who just can't get the damn thing to work. I'm normally ok with stuff like this, i've got tomtom on my HTC tytn but now I have the Htc Diamond (compact iv) I would of liked to install version 7 of tomtom with working GB maps, with a straightish walkthrough of how to do this. Any help m8 or a pointer in the right direction would be appreciated.
tt6
I use tomtom 6 that was on my last phone (western Europe maps)
Installed np ..It works fine.. and its now much quicker to pick up satelites..
Guys, I need help in getting tomtom 7 on my htc diamond, i've followed the walkthroughs to do with how to get my tomtom id, thats sweet. but it's this bloody meta file, I can't seem to locate it with RunMeforAllAutomatic or RunMeforDCT, which I understand is meant to locate the meta file. I think i'm at the last hurdle to get tomtom 7 to see TTN_7.450.9028 which I hope is the maps for GB.
Any help would be greatly appreciate so I don't have to go into my second night of 3 hrs sleep
Wilsas said:
1) Install TomTom Navigator 7 with the TTN_7.450.9028.cab provided
2) Copy the folders RASTER and VOICES to the root of the storage card
3) Copy the folder of your map (e.g. Western_and_Central_Europe_V720_1803, not included in this package) to the root of the starage card
4) Start TomTom and look up your DEVICE ID from TomTom, which can be found in the file ttnavigator.bif on the starage card under DeviceUniqueID
5) Copy the file *.meta from your map folder and put it in the folder where you saved the downloaded files (I recommend C:\TTN7 for an easy use)
6) Open a command prompt on your pc and navigate to this folder
7) Execute the command
tt7_keygen.exe “path to the *.meta” “XXXXX-XXXXX”
where XXXXX-XXXXX will be your Device ID found before
Example:
tt7_keygen.exe “C:\TTN7” “XXXXX-XXXXX”
If everything succeeds, the patcher should return an "OK" message.
8) Now copy the new file *.meta.dct from this folder to the folder of your map on the storage card
9) Open TTN7
10) Enjoy!!!!

THIS IS NOT A ****ING WAREZ FORUM!!!!
I tried TomTom6, TT7, iGo, iGo8 & Navigon.
TT is stupid.
iGo8 is nice & fast but has absolute wrong speed infos, whyever.
MN6.5 is still the best choice for Europe.

hi there ,
In a most respectfull way I will tell you this .. I have purchased tomtom for mobile and it works great on the diamond ... The problems you describe are due to copy protection .. If you insist on using priated cracked or keygened softwares , that is tottaly your choice and to be honest there are many valid reasons for using it .. however this fourm is particulary strict on not talking about things such as that .. so due to the forum rules you will have to go elsewhere for this kind of help ... I will however say that a quick search in the torrents will definatly help you .. I have had personal experince with the more reputable providers out there and can say it definatly matters where you get your info from .. if you get a build with the instructions Wilsas has already provided and it has the required exe keygen .. and you follow exactly what it says .. you will have no issues
if you do require further help , two options .. buy it , as anyone who gets good value out of anything should ... or if you are just testing it for usablity , you can install one free map upon install on your tomtom .. .. .. if you need the UK maps working .. well im me and we can take it off line
i am using destinator 7 on diamond without any problem!
Consider "Garmin Mobile XT" as an alternative for the Diamond. Alas, due to the lack of an sd slot, you will need a keymaker even if you own it legally, but imho Garmins software makes most of the other options out there look like jokes.

TT7
I just got the Western Europe map installed and it is just excellent.
My XDA Diamond is double worth its value due to TT7 being pre-installed...
No problems whatsoever... just fun...
Finally got tomtom sorted on the htc diamond, but is it just me or does it not look as good as the previous version (which I have on my vario 2) ? On the diamond tomtom looks a bit cramped up with all the info at the bottom when your driving, on the vario it's very clear. Not moaning about it as I do like the fact the new version tell you what road your currently on. Now all I have to do is work out how to transfer my favorites should be fun NT

Buy Franson's GPSGate for Vista and WinMo (costs you about $49). Install GPSGatePPC and GPSGate on WinMo and Vista. Configure GPSGatePPC on WinMo side to work on ActiveSync. Then Configure on Vista Side to recognize GPS on ActiveSync. Now ActiveSync using USBTool and run AutoRoute.
Thanks
Ram
so theres no way yet of doing it without buying software? I'll struggle on to find a way of getting google maps onto the WM side. and wait for a free option.

You have to liberate the shift to be able to install cab's like google maps... even with rom upgrade you still have to liberate the shift...
I used thaihugo's package, which is already liberated, it just seems not to complete the download, I've tried it on my phone and thats not playing either, there seems to be no way to get the cab from a pc either which is a pain in the backside.
I'll keep digging.

Hi Dammo
Did you update the registry setting to allow Shift to install cab files on WinMo side?
If not read the second page on thaihugo's ROM thread. This will allow you to install cabs.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cabfile\Shell\Open\Command and its value should be wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete
Please notice the space before and after quotes.
thanks
Ram
ok, so call me dummy, thank you.
That's why I told you to liberate. If you do MODACO procedure you don't have to mess with registry
It's a whole lot easier to just change one registry value with the tools already provided, than to go through the whole liberation procedure.

I know that but for unexperienced users I think it's easier, because for installing the ROM they had to liberate it before.
Hello, this is my first post in the forum, I used to search a lot before I decided to post here...
My problem is: my WM6.5 21234(Build 21234.5.0.1) chinese simp version expired last day and I have some important documents inside the internal memory.
The time bomb doesn't let me do anything.
I tryed to flash it, with different shell32.exe as somebody posted in the forum, but I don't remember witch version of wm6.5 I've got.
I also tryed just by pluging the phone to my win 7, but doesn't allow me to access to the internal memory, seems to be blocked by wm6.5, in win 7 it display only the mini sd card.
I need at least to get this files out of my internal memory or get rid of this time bomb.
Hope you guys can help me.
Is possible to use my sd memory to rip the internal memory of the x1?
Hi guys,
My dad's handed me his Vario III / (Kaiser 120) to use.
I did a reset using the option in 'SETTINGS' to reset it and lose all date. Now, when I start it up, it looks like new and the time/date has to be set. All my dad's contacts have gone. Cool. - 1. Was this a Hard-Reset ?
I went to something like SETTINGS > INFO and got this:
Radio Vers 1.70.18.02
ROM DATE 9/01/08
ROM Vers. 3.31.110.3 WWE
Build 19212.1.03
When I start it up, it says Windows Mobile v6.1
A couple years ago, I loaded tomtom navigator on it for my dad. It was really good with the internal gps.
Anyway, now that I have the phone, I'd like to install tomtom navigator on it, use the camera (maybe 10 photos a week) and upload pics to my PC, and browse the internet (email, twitter etc.) from time to time. Also, I'd use the handset to connect via bluetooth to my laptop so I can use it for internet (in emergencies, as it is kinda slow). I also text (3-5 texts a day)
I also downloaded an app called Shazam.cab from a site called mobilism, which I would love to use as I have seen it on my lucky friend's iPhone and the app is awesome!
2. Apart from the usb cable, and active sync on my pc, do i need anything else to install shazam on my phone/micro sd card?
3. I assume a ROM means operating system? Like windows xp, 7 etc.
I see that people are putting new ROMs on their phone. My phone has
Storage Free Space: 121MB and Programs Free 55MB. There isn't a lot of 'bloatware' hogging up resources on there, as far as i can see.
4. Do I need to install a custom ROM now that you know my uses (in blue font above) for the phone? / do I need to flash it? I.e. will a new ROM/flash make my life a lot easier? Better to convert to android system? Will I need to do any of these things to install shazam?
I was goin to do this on the weekend so I can use other sims in my phone:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
fingers crossed it goes ok.
Can you please help?
Thank you
Sonny
ps. I may need to ask a couple more questions after this. Once again thank you for your help. If anyone needs advice on cameras, please let me know as I am a regular contributor to a photography forum.
1. Yes, it was HARD-Reset (removes all settings, contacts, messages, ...). It doesn't do anything to the MicroSD card.
2. I don't know anything about that. Sorry!
3. Yes, ROM means operating system. There are stock ROMs and modified ROMs. For Kaiser (a.k.a. HTC TyTN II) you'll find only stock Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM and lots of modified WM 6.1 and WM 6.5 ROMs. There's no stock WM 6.5 ROM for Kaiser.
4. Android is not stable enough. Sometimes it crashes, doesn't wake up and so on... All your mentioned things can be done with both WM 6.1 and 6.5, so it's for you to decide what to use. WM 6.1 looks a little bit old and terrible, but it uses less resources than WM 6.5 which looks a little bit... like system that was made to be similar to iPhone OS. Yes, WM 6.5 is more finger-friendly, but the applications grid drives me crazy, it uses more resources (and loves draining the battery)
Thank you very much for taking the time to post. I found it really useful.
I stuck with original HTC ROM with 6.1 and I am loving it. Shazam works wonderfully well. The phone is so damn sharp. And, using 2 apps at once is brilliant.
Does anyone know if I can put more icons/apps on the TODAY SCREEN?
At the moment, I am only allowed to put 6 in the start menu screen, and 1 (tom tom) on the today screen.
My Start menu has: 1 File explorer, 2 organiser (i use the calculator a lot), 3 internet explorer, 4 MS word (for my notes), 5 shazam (use a lot), 6 Resco photo manager (for uploading to FlickR)
I'd like to add 2 more apps (wunder radio + core player) somewhere with quick access.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Try copying applications links (.lnk files) from \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ to \Windows\Start Menu\
I'm not sure if it's going to work with Windows Mobile 6.1, but it's safe to try
