I can vouch for OCN8. VGA is STUNNING on OCN8. And yes, it does have TTS. You may have to ask tech support for the TTS sound file since it does require a minimum of 128MB memory, which the Raphael has plenty of memory. It's absolutely responsive and USABLE!

What does OCN8 cost?

How about some good free GPS apps, aside from GoogleMaps?

So you don't have to pay per month for OCN8? Is it possible to just purchase the program without the microsd card? I'm sure it would be cheaper that way.
I'm using the AT&T navigator which is telenav and it works great. It's very fast and I love all the features. I got a 30 day free trial with the phone but after that it's $10 a month and that will end up being way more expensive than OCN8.

Unfortunately, the OCN copy protection scheme locks you into using their microSD card. You can't copy or install it to a different card.
The AT&T Navigator can also be purchased on a day-at-a-time basis if you cancel your subscription. If you only use it occasionally, that could be a reasonable way to go; I think it's $4 per day.

what needs to change in the sys.txt? I tried iGO8 but it wouldn't run...

I tried igo and TT(not 7). Both works fine. I think the layout of the igo looks neat and works ok. But I like many others have noticed that on the TP (Fuze) youre lagging a few car lengths behind where it should be on the map.
Have some fun, have it say the different Hawaiian street names.lol

Holy crap! Is that igo for the USA? Oh man, I'm so temped to buy that if you say it has no lag on the TP(Fuze).
Btw, I was reading the site, it doesn't list 480x640(whatever the Fuze is) as a display mode...but at the same time, it says vga..?
QVGA or VGA touch screen display
Supported Screen Resolution 320x240 or 240x320
240x240
320x320
400x240 or 240x400

How much did TomTom cost? Or was it... you know...

I am very partial to CoPilot and find it works very well on my TP.

I asked Chacha: "What's a good GPS navigation system for a WM touch screen device? I need TTS and would prefer 3D to 2D."
Chacha Responded with "Harman Kardon's Guide + Play GPS-810 portable navigator offers a full-featured navigation experience in an easy-to-use package."

What is the best NES emulator with landscape mode for the Tilt/Kaiser?

Does anyone know good ones? Smartgear maybe? What are you using?
i use pocketnester
i use morphgear. its and all in one emulator. i have only used it on the athena but it works good
As a side note i have been looking a version of aim so if any of you tilt owners could get that cab from your ext rom send me a PM that would be great. thanks

thanks for the zip! it's the only one i've been able to find since morphgear's website(s) appears down.
i installed it on my tilt/kaiser and it works good, but afer 5 minutes it stops and promps for activation on the (nes) module, so my question is:
how do i get activation codes if their site is gone?
thanks for reading!

I can't speak to its functionality, but look here:
http://fms.komkon.org/MorphGear/
he has a link to obtain licenses - which takes you to a site to buy them.

got it! you guys are way smarter than me. and you rock!
does anyone know what happened to morphgear.com/spicypixel anyway?
do you guys think there is a better emu out there for wm6 ppc?
thanks again!

Better than what? Morphgear?
If it wasn't for the sound issue, I would say Smartgear is by far the best. It's ridiculously fast, so fast in fact you have to artificially restrict the frame rate.
Another bonus, the author of Smartgear is still making updates and is trying to fix the sound issue.
If that issue gets fixed, that's $20 I'll be happy to part with (or whatever it costs)
-James
where do you get roms/games that go with the emulator?
roms
the best place to get roms is a torrent site...i.e. mininova.org
in fact you can find "a lot" of things there
I prefer to use utorrent, its tiny and VERY functional.
happy downloading and I hope you dont have comcast...
What should I do to the employee that smacked my HTC tytn II out of my hand (and broke it!) while recording him singing some pretty funny video at a kareokee bar? As I am sitting here trying to get back to normal with the p.o.s. ATT Tilt...?? any suggestions? besides the obvious of making him buy the tilt...
Thanks!

NES = Nintendo Entertainment System. An NES emulator emulates the NES console system so you can play the old games on your PPC/smartphone/PC.
pocketnesterplus FTW
I take it you have the Kaiser then....well my tilt is coming in the mail, but I plan on flashing it to the HTC ROM ASAP....if I can extract the original ROM to get the AIM client then I will (No idea how) send it to you....I thought the HTC ROM came with an AIM client though....do you know how I'd go about extracting the data you need??
looking for emulation for snes
does anyone know where i could get emulators for nes?

Pocket Dyno ?

Is there anyone programming a Dyno/Quartermile -Measuring Application?
I've found one for the *uaaah* Iphone/Ipod Touch *uaaaaah* called "Dynolicious"
http://www.dynolicious.com/
Looks great!!
Time to get a competitor on Diamond *g*
greetings
Alex
yeah i agree with that its looks very nice.
nice idea for the diamond. i'm looking forward to how this program works
GPSSkinner should be able to give you most of the info and even with a design you choose yourself

Wow this is just what I need. Would definately pay actual money for that app on the diamond
I like this idea also. GPSskinner only use the GPS, it would be nice if this can be done with the G-Sensor we have in our diamonds....
gps thingy only measur speed that can my tomtom also ^^ the dyno program from dynolisious has much more options then only speed
I would definately buy an application like this for the diamond.
My car is going to be tortured so much, as soon as this app is available.
Looking forward to it ;-)
yeah now we need someone that can make this
hehe i can't still learning c and java :O
This certainly looks awesome.Anybody looking into making this for the diamond?
that's great
i have used up to now the gti.sis from www.tempes.com with an symbian phone and it works not bad
but measurements with the g sensor you get better values for a reproducible
acceleratin.
i hope someone can do the hard work
I would like something like that http://www.veypor.com/veypor.html
It is accelerometer - based!!
If it can be developed on the iPhone, and HTC is "The phone with all the things iPhone STILL misses" then it should be possible to program it for the HTC aswell ! Just requires a programming nerdy with fuel in the blood
Yes, please someone make this program. im happy to donate for this
dynolicious by mail as reply to inquiry said:
Thanks for your interest in Dynolicious.
Unfortunately, we have no current plans to support any platform other than the iPhone.

i'd donate $25 for a comparable program like the iphone version.
there's a new video on yt, where the [email protected] is compared with a dynojet + gtech.
iphone was much more accurate and much better to use...

Here's a couple other standalone hardware examples. Maybe they would write the software?
http://www.traqmate.com/
http://www.race-technology.com/description_8_956.html
http://www.g2xtreme.com/faq.htm
PDA Dyno exists:
http://www.nology.com/pdadyno.html
I by no means know enough about the hardware required, but there is a fast sampling time required for gps data logging. Googling the topic brings up plenty of discussion from SCCA forums.
i'd donate $20 for a comparable program like the iphone version
I got a reply from Traqmate:
We have jokingly spoken about doing an iPhone implementation. The
problem is that Traqmate uses a high-speed GPS chip chosen for speed and
the phones use a 1Hz chip that is chosen for sensitivity. Good idea but
I am afraid a phone would not make a very good Traqmate.

Just sold my kaiser

Well after about a year of use i just parted with my kaiser, i think i'm gonna cry.. time to move on to the G1 thread.

Probably stunted machine currently but actually supported by Google with a lot of regular future upgrades -- drivers too! Can't beat that.
$200?!?!?
Jeez - I paid $50 for it new at AT&T last November when it came out (gotta LOVE those rebates).

I wonder how it performs as far as smooth video playback is concerned (compared to the Kaiser using Windows Pocket Media Player 10.3). Not because I'm interested in getting a G1 (just like the Touch Pro, I believe it doesn't have the tilting screen of the TyTN II) but because I want to know just what the hardware is capable of in terms of processing power when proper drivers are used.
sold my tytn II also
It never worked as i hoped and expected. . .
my old ipaq 2210 did a better job showing video's and recorded tv shows.
that 's one big reason to sell for me.
the lag when ending a phonecall and screen rotating with sms did the rest.
I like the looks of the new touch HD but that seems also lagging and is not able to play video in its native resolution so it looks like more of the same but then in a higher resolution.
calling it HD and not been able to play native resolution video?
i lost my confidence in HTC for their lack in proper 2D and 3D drivers with my TYTN II, and will not travel the same road with their HD. . . . . .
A standard gsm will do for now, awaiting newer OS and Hardware.
XDA rocks tho!

What's your favorite "Cool App"

Bunch of my buddy's got iphones and are constantly showing me cool apps for just about everything. I know our phones rule, so post up some of your favorites so I have a bit to show
I am still looking for a good weather app with radar -.-
I really like WMwifirouter http://www.wmwifirouter.com/ It has a free trial its great.
it turns your data connections from your phone into wifi. Making your phone into a wifi hotspot!
look for Shootme v 2.5, thats a fun one. its like iphones shotgun app only this one has machine gun, whip, boxing glove, and more(my fav is the hair clippers, if you sneak up behind someone it really sounds and feels like your hair is being buzzed off haha)
Im assuming ur a guy by posting this.. but HDwobble has to be one of the funniest apps..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522179
but u dont have to limit urself to breasts, if youre not completely dirty mined.
SK Tracker. It's a must-have if you flash a lot and want to learn how to back up all your settings w/ UC or sashimi.
Tom Tom stand alone GPS. I dont need to have internet access to figure where im at via google maps.
Apps
No apps really compare to Iphone apps. Especially games, the only game that is interesting and fun is "Xtrakt" and that is originally for the Sony Ericsson Xperia 1 and it doesnt fit on the screen correctly. The Touch Pro wasnt really thought of when it comes to impressive applications.
FindME
I don't mean to blow my own horn, but I am finishing up testing LsFindMe. It is an app I wrote, which I use to find my car in a parking lot (Actually more likemy wife uses it daily).
You "tag" the car when you leave the car. when you leave the mall you click "findme" . The system tells you how far from your car you are, and guides to to it.
slingplayer mobile.... use it everyday @ work and on the rail road home...
and hTorch of course... lets see the iphone guys do something like that!! good luck w/o a flash!!

If you're musical, Pocket Guitar is impressive http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482726 It's available for the iphone too, but it works great in the TP and it's free.
You mean I can only have one favorite app?
The list is seriously endless for me. This is just part of it:
GRemote
FM Radio (comes in handy sometimes)
A few of the games in the Mega Arcade Pack
TF3D (Can't say I've ever seen an iPhone interface this sexy )
WorldCard Mobile
PocketIRC
HTC's Wi-Fi Router app (Just started using it recently and love it, though USB tethering worked awesome too)
I used to really enjoy hearing "What's one thing your phone can do that my iPhone can't?" That was easy, just show them copy & paste. Sadly the new iPhone can do it too now...I hate you Apple
id have to say diamond beer and touch the music would be a good start also there is a thats what she said app with the voices of the people from the tv show the office. also htorch is a must turns your led into a flash light and dont forget the light saber app.
need for speed
with g sensor.

Kaiser or Fuze?

Kaiser's got 400mHz, 128/256 RAM/ROM
Fuze has 528mHz, 288/512 RAM/ROM
Seems like a clear-cut land-slide victory for the fuze.
Thing is, I kinda already paid for a Kaiser.
Any incentive to having Kaiser over Fuze? I do like that it has more face buttons.
...or am I gonna wanna grab that Fuze ASAP, seeing as I like to mess around with emulators so much?
