Seriously I have tried that, but not there?????

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.
MS voice command not work on my HTC diamond, would you please help me, any body test any version on it?
I can't get MC1.6 to work on my Asian Rom 1.37 diamond. It gives an error after install...everything seems ok but when I go into settings, it hangs and I have to do a Hard reset
v1.6 UK made my phone lock up whenever I tied to access settings or programs. I had to hard reset the phone
yeah dont seam to work, you can use ciberon voice commander tho, works well.
you can download it from the TLR 3 ROM thread (in the rom development section)
Hi folks,
VC 1.6 definitively works on Diamond. I'm using it since I get mine last week.

Does this require any training or anything? Didn't need to download it as it came on my ROM with the phone. I've tried to use it 3 times now and each time its failed to hear anything I say. I used to use MS VC all the time with very little problem.

Yep, it definately works. You just have to be clever enough to manually upgrade it to version 1.6.19209 otherwise it'll keep hanging your Diamond
Not sure what UK version im running, but the install crashed. I restarted the phone, and now it works great with my Parrot Bluetooth carket.

Yeah it works without any training, and works a treat for me, you have to follow the correct command tho (displayed when you open the app, eg say start <application name>)
Note: there is a program called 'Cyberon Voice Speed Dial' and that is NOT the same and does require training

Yes, it is the US release, but I'm Scottish so I'm not really bothered.
Never had a copy of the UK version but it involves manually copying these files from version 19209:
sapi.dll
sapiwavstr.dll
spcacheaudio.dll
vcbthag.dll
VCOSShim_PPC05.dll
coicecmd.exe
VoiceCommand_PPC.cpl
VoiceCommandWMP.dll
Phew...
Fairly easy to do. Install version 1.6.17913 then remove the shortcut in the Windows\Startup Folder. Soft reset so VC does not start. Copy all the above to Program Files\Voice Command with the exception of the CPL which goes in Windows. Put shortcut back into Startup, soft reset and away you go.

Hi Tom, Thanks for the tutorial. I did in fact read that post before. However, was you issue with MVC not working because it cause your Diamond to hang completely forcing a hard reset when you go into Settings?
I can install with the error like everyone here. However, it hangs and has to be hard reset when I go into settings.....with my previous Touch, I got the error too when installing the same file but it worked. It did take some registry changes to make it work with bluetooth.
Ok, as promished, here is the new rom. I just post the link in a text file, cause I want to see the counter running
It's a standard snapvue, liberated, with the following ehancement:
Screen rotation in settings
GPS in snapvue side
Full iexplorer, notes, images, messenger,windows live.
HTC X-button 1.5
HTCGPStool
DotFred's TaskManager
USBtools for connecting to vista
A few htc blocages removed
I've tested the sound. the gps fix, and vista connectivity. Be sure to use high performace power mode for best results. It's still beta until everyone confirm it works ok. DOn't flash it if you are afraid of dark.
My radio is 1.58.21.23, so it should work on all european shift. North americans have already the gps included anyway.
To install, run customRUU AS ADMINISTRATOR on a HardSPL shift
FAQ:
- Flash is not working, it stops at 0%
You dummy boy forgot to hardSPL your shift. Look in the forum for HardSPL by cmonex
-Flash is working, goes until the end, but I get an old rom
Try launching customruu from a new folder with a new name. It's a bug under vista
- GPS does not get a fix
Sorry. Get outside, in the middle of a field, and wait. You will get a fix.
- I want GPS under vista too
It's a software problem. I'm using franson gpsgate on both side, using an activesync solution. There are other way.
- What took you so long to release this
Well, I'm like you, I waited for a rom, and since nothing came, I've started doing it myself. It took me one week.
- It mean you are against shift project
No, Thanks to their help, I can flash roms on my device. I'm actually in regular contact with cmonex. We both think more rom is best for everybody. Shift project will release quality rom on it's agenda.
- What will you do next
I'll go for screen problems I want games to work on this. After,I'll try and see the SD card, the phone, the BT and the wifi
-Wait, SD card is higher priority to me
Well, I just start where I think it can be easier to sort thinks out.
- Why don't you release a cab for the GPS like you did
Because one of the driver responsbile for linking with the sound is loaded at boot time. Try changing this on you own, and you'll have to hard reset. Only way to change it is a custom rom
- I have function X that doesn't work
Does it work after a hard reset? If not, please post how to redo it on my device
- My girlfriend left me since I flashed this rom
You forgot to HardSPL her. It's your fault
- I want program X added to the rom
Maybe if I see it as a great improvment, othewise, you should learn to cook rom yourself

Some stuff still has to be liberated the old way. Feel free to advise your registry edits for the next version
Thanks, but it worked a few mins later. I'm just too impatient.
Finally a reason to install HardSPL on the Shift, I was too lazy to liberate it again so held off until now.
What about non-English keyboard layouts? Are they supported in this new ROM?
If so, I'll download tomorrow in the office, at home it's only GSM...
Thank you all for making a little great machine even better!
I can try and make non english layout, but I need different languages to do this. I'm going to try with german, but I'll need other languages files too.
Thanks !!!!!, perfect, brilliant, fantastic!, GPS and full sound .... now only the issue of lack Snapvue to 96dpi or 128dpi, it appears that the CommManager cut, broken, je, je, je, je ... very good job, just missed the soft reset button, but it will be for the next one. Thanks !!!!.
soft reset is in task manager menu. But you can make a shortcut to it. I'll add it in next version.
forgot to add cab support. You can edit registry for this. This will be added in next version

That caught me out for a minute too. For those who are stuck, use the registry editor in the Task Manager, and navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Cabfile\Shell\Open\command and change the default value to wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete - there is a space after the .exe and before the /nodelete here.
Thaihugo - it's looking good so far, just tweaking it up now. GPS works perfectly.
TERRIFIC!!!!
Thanks
Gracias, gracias
Dear ThaiHugo, thank you for your development time given to the shift community.
Its nice to see some movement on the forums.
I have a north american shift, as stated above it includes the gps, but should i try and use this rom?.
Last but not least, aside from being liberated and IE,WMP,Notes ect installed in it, is there any difference from the usa rom version?.
---Any input would be gladly appreciated. thanks in advance.....

96dpi and 128dp are possible. I am using Realvga...works terrific.
you can grab it off my server
RealVGA_11.CAB
ResPack128dpi.ARM.CAB
96dpi is a little too small, trust me...youre going blind.
@Thaihugo... Gute Arbeit..weiter so (Deutsche Gruendlichkeit)
If you need a server to host your roms, let me know. My server is fast and permanent
great job, keep going guys, this is the only way to go further in shift converting it from an expensive paperwight to a real good phone

As I'm very very very very (etc.) interested in Italian keyboard layout, could you please tell me which file do you need in order to build an "italian-like"-cooked-ROM?

Hi,
As promished, the french version of my rom. Cab install is working, and opera is removed on popular demand. Got usbtools, and taskmanager, even if the icon is not here now. Exe is in windows folder.
This one also has d3d software dll linked.
http://rapidshare.com/files/142052168/snapfrench4.rar.html
yes
again a big thanks to you
sorry for havent seen it before
thanks
too early? but thxs !
great!! thank you very much for the time and work you spend for the shift communoty!
i m very happy to flash this rom cause french is my native linguage, and it gives to me more compatiblity with french software.
maybe its to early to cook french rom, because htc shift is not easy to finf in french shops... orange is selling it with origami data plans, but its not very popular , finally the best way to get it is to make special order, or to by it from internet .
you should focus your time on english rom, and maybe spanish as its seconf or third language used in the world
Anyway thank you very much fr this rom !!!
by the way i love opera but there are so many release and a few are working well on the htc shift
c u,
The one I have included in rom works pretty well. I might release it also infrench (my native language too )
any progress on phone feature?

I compared the registry files of both Tilt and Shift (I don't have Diamond or Ralpheal) and found some interesting differences in the case of BT, WiFi and SD card. I am going to publish those here in a few hours.
I have not seen much differences in the phone area (registry settings) except missing settings for phone and relevant skin settings under Machine and Current User.

Problem is not to find registry settings. These are pretty easy to add. This registry can be usefull anyway, but the main problem is that the bios is locking the SD and BT for vista, and even with the right drivers, they will not be activated on WM side. One think that would improve the dev here is to find how this mecanic works.
As for the phone, using a full phone dll and registry doesn't help, as it seems the dll provided with the shift are voice disabled, and using new depend on the radio.

Regarding BT, WiFi and SD that is what I guessed. Since they are shared, only one of them would work at a given time with the given architecture. Regarding phone, my guess also coincides with you. I think we need to have a different radio, but I may be wrong too.

Finger's crossed, the RIL client (celltsp.dll) is same as the one you will find in Kaiser. The RIL proxy, RIL Client etc. are same you will find in Kaiser, only question left for now is whether the Radio i.e. underlying supports voice calls or not.

Nice rom thks.
But so bad that the keyboard become an qwerty.
With registry it's fine but you may include it in your update...
BTW, very nice rom. No problem.
Hello
I don't like to act like a noob (especially in the HTC world in which I had a lot of phones without any real problems...), but here I can't make it...
I put the ROM, perfect. But here the things I can't understand :
- can't open the sound from the today view
- usbtool (I really had hard time to find the soft!!!), I can't do nothing with it, there is a sentence "Please plug in cable firest" and I tried "USB_cable_in" but nothing happened... So I can't connect to Vista... Where am I wrong?
I think I can manage the others things, like buttons, qwerty, ... but for the usbtool thing I am really lost... so I use "Internet share" when it is working...
I used thaihugo ROM as base for this. Thanks to thaihugo for providing this.
I added GoogleMaps, YouTubePlay, VicSoft Clear Temp, Adobe Reader LE for Diamond. Replaced current USBTool with modaco ShiftPack.Liberate. This fixes the Registry setting needed to install cabs. The only registry setting you need to do is changing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CurLang value to your keyboard. You can find those values in plirom 2.00 thread.
I have also placed links to USBTool under Programs\Comm (thaihugo ROM has here) and also under SnapVue Settings (ShiftPack.Liberate does this). Here in SnapVue Settings you will see a link to SoftReset too. This is exactly what Shift.Liberate does currently whenever you liberate using modaco's procedure.
Memory:
Free Storage: 28.58 MB

Use CustomRUU.exe that is available in thaihugo and plirom threads.
The next upgrades to this ROM are HTC Voice Recorder, once I figure out how to enable the microphone, .NET 3.5, Screen Capture, and HTC official YouTube Player replacing YouTubePlay. I am also planing to remove original calculator with 1-Calc.

Hi Martiare
There are two ways
1. you could use external bluetooth receiver that your vista side could use to connect using BlueTooth or USB, easiest and fastest way of doing it.
2. If you wish to use internal GPS of Shift then, you need to install either thaihugo's ROM, pliROM or RamROM, which can be downloaded from this forum (search is your friend). Once you install them, you have multiple options, but the one I use is using Franson's GPSGate Client for Vista and WinMo. I bought this for $49 and I feel good investment. Install GPSGatePPC on WinMo side, and GPSGate on Vista side. Configure GPSGatePPC to work on ActiveSync. Configure GPSGate to receive signals from ActiveSync. And install Maps software such as AutoRoute or Micosoft Streets, Earthmate etc. on Vista side and thats all.
Thanks

First of all let me thank you and all other "cookers" for your continuous effort. I've been following the birth and the growth of quite a high number of ROM's, and I still can't understand if it's a good or a bad thing... I mean: surely everyone that flashes a newly cooked ROM acts as a beta-tester for the "chef" and for all other users that don't dare or simply can't flash a new ROM each week. Moreover each new ROM, even if adds some (in)compatibility problem, solves many others (just think about the possibility to use GPS). And this is the good part of the situation.
On the other hand I feel a bit confused. Each new ROM has many good things, but lacks in others, IMO. I know it's a matter of personal taste, but for instance I would really like that PliROM's home could be the standard for each other ROM. And that's just one of the things that I (and each one of us) could point up.
May I suggest to write down a list of the components and let a survey start? If 90 people over 100 should prefer PliROM's interface instead of original Shift one (again: it's just an example), why to continue developping ROMs with other interfaces?
I say this because I'm absolutely unable to cook anything, and I think that many of us can't.
Of course I'll go on flashing new (stable) ROMs, trying to beta-test , at least for a few weeks... than I'll have to go back to work and I wouldn't run the risk anymore to loose data or hardreset
Pure Snapvue
Hi Sai ;
Even though the user interface is really limited , i -personally- prefer using snapvue ...
So ... is there a way for you to
-either let me know how to disable the top bar with the start menu on your liberated rom
or
-cook a rom only cab-install and gps enabled , so that i can go on my own way...
My very best regards

Hi Ram,
Thanks a lot! If you can cook the 2nd CHT version with the updated GoogleMaps will be perfect! One more request, can you use pli6128's plirom v2.00 WWE 1.22.405.0 96dpi to cook the CHT 2nd version? Because I tried and feel it's user friendly and the key buttons for both contacts and programscan be address. Also, I found it stable too.
Thanks.

1. you could use external bluetooth receiver that your vista side could use to connect using BlueTooth or USB, easiest and fastest way of doing it.
2. If you wish to use internal GPS of Shift then, you need to install either thaihugo's ROM, pliROM or RamROM, which can be downloaded from this forum (search is your friend). Once you install them, you have multiple options, but the one I use is using Franson's GPSGate Client for Vista and WinMo. I bought this for $49 and I feel good investment. Install GPSGatePPC on WinMo side, and GPSGate on Vista side. Configure GPSGatePPC to work on ActiveSync. Configure GPSGate to receive signals from ActiveSync. And install Maps software such as AutoRoute or Micosoft Streets, Earthmate etc. on Vista side and thats all.
Thanks

Ram / Martiare,
Maybe you can use this one - "Track Me"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340667
Because it's FREE! I installed it at the WinMo side and at the Vista side I can use Google Earth see my track realtime!

First of all let me thank you and all other "cookers" for your continuous effort. I've been following the birth and the growth of quite a high number of ROM's, and I still can't understand if it's a good or a bad thing... I mean: surely everyone that flashes a newly cooked ROM acts as a beta-tester for the "chef" and for all other users that don't dare or simply can't flash a new ROM each week. Moreover each new ROM, even if adds some (in)compatibility problem, solves many others (just think about the possibility to use GPS). And this is the good part of the situation.
On the other hand I feel a bit confused. Each new ROM has many good things, but lacks in others, IMO. I know it's a matter of personal taste, but for instance I would really like that PliROM's home could be the standard for each other ROM. And that's just one of the things that I (and each one of us) could point up.
May I suggest to write down a list of the components and let a survey start? If 90 people over 100 should prefer PliROM's interface instead of original Shift one (again: it's just an example), why to continue developping ROMs with other interfaces?
I say this because I'm absolutely unable to cook anything, and I think that many of us can't.
Of course I'll go on flashing new (stable) ROMs, trying to beta-test , at least for a few weeks... than I'll have to go back to work and I wouldn't run the risk anymore to loose data or hardreset

Hi
Sure I will use pliROM as base for the new version, or may be I will have an option that would install HTC Home like pliROM does or SnapVue like thaihugo does. I think I would go with this optional one.
Thanks
Ram
For free GPS Tracking in Google Earth, and Google Maps mobile, checkout http://www.reperion.com and choose basic, free download.
You don't need to boot vista to see your realtime tracks, all you have to do is import your Reperion KML network link to Google Mobile Maps !
It will give you much much more than just tracking... check it out

Thanks Ram and cookers!
Installed and working. Just one query about the GPS side though.....
I'm using a UK version of the shift for starters that is only a few months old. I've fllashed the Rom as above and also installed the GPSGate software on both sides. That all seems to be working fine and the WinMob side has found the GPS Module on COM4 and is receiving data but no location. After having read the other threads I appreciate you have to stand in the middle of a field for i to pick up the satellites. Unfortunately I have tried this and it still isnt picking them up. Is it possible that HTC has now stopped installing the GPS Antennas in recent Shifts (no, I haven't opened it up to look)?
Any other ideas?

Honestly I don't know if they might have removed it. But to be sure, look if you have any data comming in. Do you have any sattelites inview when using HTC GPS util? Look at the sattelite tab.

in HCTC GPS Tool (Settings tab) press Open Button, in the lower part you will see some scrolled text, when you run GPS software for the first time you have to wait for 15-30 minute to recieve the signals, then go to Satellite tab the no. of satellite used must be 3 or more to get your location, thise what I did, hope it is the correct way.

I agree with you completely. I don't think they would have removed it. It may be some issues with the position or something related to GPSGate configuration. I also come into issues where it would take good 15 to 20 minuts to lock my Shift for the first time especially with overcast skies, evenings and inside the building. I may be wrong too, HTC might have removed the GPS altogether in the newer systems, but that would be a drastic step for HTC. If they do so, I would suggest buying RAON Everun and tether it with a Kaiser or Hermes would be cheaper. You would have a GPS receiver on your WinMo, and have bluetooth, SD, Wifi handy and you could connect your Everun to that and it fits in the pocket, eventhough the screen is nearly 5" as opposed to 7". But that is cheaper alternative and runs on more manageable XP. And installing GPSGate on WinMo and XP gives me to have the GPS on bigger screen.
Thanks

Got the GPS Tool running again. It's hovering on Sat 32 and 14 with the odd scan of no. 1 on its own. Going to leave it on the windowledge overnight as the field isn't really an option!
I'm used to using a Garmin Zumo on the motorbike that takes seconds to find the sats and TomTom on my Hermes in the car and also it's own in-built Toyota Effort. None takes this long to find satellites.
But it is fun, isn't it!!!

Yep, it is kind of slow, once you get the location fixed, and it uses 2 satellites, the things move pretty fast. I have quite a good number of GPS devices, and all of them are pretty fast when compared to this.
Thanks
Ram
So the GPS Tool locked up the WinMob side , it mustn't have liked being left on all night! Pulled the battery and reset. Hey Presto the sky is full of satellites tonight and all is working fine!!!! It takes ages to take its initial reading of where everything is, has a real good think about it and then decides to work.
Now looking forward to any future incarnations.
Many thanks to all
