Don't like OZ, it uses the sms instead of data. I use IM+. Just ranting. lolz.
Original Instant Messaging Program
Hey, I need the original Instant messaging program that came with my tilt. (the one with aim, live, and yahoo). Where can i get that? I looked through the threads and couldn't find it. Thanks.
You're looking for Oz messenger and it's in the downloads link in my signature. Though I'd recommend you checkout Jivetalk, as i've found it to be a vastly superior messaging program and it is free right now because it's in alpha testing.

Ever herd of a thing called a wiki it contains a link that you can d/l all att .cab's. But I guess its just easier to be lazy and post a new thread on your first post.
dont you spend as much time or more reposting how evil they are for not searching?
Yeah but if it teaches them to search then its worth it. The amount of threads that are completley redundant beacuse of this type of thing

Another Instant Messaging Thread
Ok I've been digging around the forums for about 2 hours now and I still haven't been able to find it, so I figured I would just break down and ask you guys. This may sound strange, but I liked the Instant Messaging client that comes pre-packaged with the Tilt, but after I flashed the ROM to Hyperdragon III to my surprise (Don't ask me why I didn't think of this ahead of time, I do not know) it was no longer there (for obvious reasons).
Does anyone know where I can find this IM client? Ive been digging around this forum and the at&t forums for a while now, and I'm about ready to give up.
I know all the alternatives, I just liked what came stock with the unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
i was looking for this myself as I use msn and yahoo messengers but had no luck finding the extracted app. I have settled for the live messenger right now which is on the cabs list under hyperdragons post but will monitor this to see if anyone posts the cab file

IT's called OZ IM, it's available to download in my cabs folder, and if you search you should be able to find it pretty easily.
Will merge this with the other IM threads.
Sorry to burst your bubble
Sorry, to burst your bubble.
Bursting your bubble.
I'm sorry for it.
Anyways, OZ instant messenger doesn't run of sms exclusively. I've been using it frequently via medianet on my tilt and I haven't had a single text message charged to my account. So go ahead and download oz messenger and use it via medianet. As for jivetalk... i don't know, but i'll check it out.
The cab files worked great. Thank You. I've also been looking for the IM program for the Tilt. Mine had disappeared after I hard reset the phone and dind't allow AT&T's bloatware to install.
Thanks again

Hi!
I am new to this forum but not new to HTC phones.
I just got a new HTC TD2 from ATT as the ATT Pure.
Great phone! and as of this Morning the MS Application store is working great.
questions I am sure many of us will have so might need a sticky
1. Bloatware - how do you get ride all the silly ATT apps/stuff?
2. if I load a new ROM from this sight will it be equal to or better then the RTM of 6.5? basically I don't want to loose the underlying features I just want generic + Radios + store (3G/4G)
3. if I load a ROM from here can I every go back to the factory ROM?
4. How do I: App-unlock, Phone-Unlock (if any) (not SIM unlock)?
5. Donation link - were is that!?
thanks in advance!

Search is still king around here. That being said, there are unlock tools available. Check out the ROM development thread.
So far it looks like you are stuck with bloatware unless you flash a different rom.
Good hunting.

Thanks FlyBoy,
So you have a Pure did you reload it?
Not yet, still playing with the stock rom, I've installed my favorites to add to the flavor like Youtube, Wifi sharing and a few from the new MS Marketplace.
So far I'm happy with the ROM, but knowing me, I'll probably end up flashing it tonight.

Please let me know how the flashing goes, what ROM/problems, I know several of us would love to know!
there was a person on the bloatware thread that mentioned they flashed and got more performance. I don't want to loose features like the radios, the MS Store, and Exchange integration. but what I do want is Youtube, Flash, etc. I understand it is supported. the new Opera browser is pretty good and the new IE browser is no sloutch. I don't like the Mail/SMS list, I prefer the threading features of WM 6.1

Will do.
Any ROM other than at&t is going to give you alot better performance all around. When I had my Fuze, I was using NRG's ROMs almost exclusively. Very fast and stable and he always includes all the good stuff without taking up all the memory either.

GTK! when you flashwith another ROM can you still go back to the factory ROM using a master reset? One would thing you are replacing the ROM in Flash and not the actual "ROM"
When you flash a rom you can't go back to stock unless you have the stock rom on a cd from your profider, read de faq's dude
Unless you know how to dump and recompile your stock rom you can't reflash it unless someone on here shares the pure rom which I think they have. Check out the ROM develpment section for Topaz.
I think you will flashing soon because Manila 2.5 kicks ass and the pure don't got it.

Excuse my ignorance here, but what is Manila?
Manila is Touchflo 3D. The HTC UI that sits on top of winmo

Playing With Pure
Hey again everyone,
Just got my new PURE yesterday, and went about loading up all my goodies from off my Tilt (anyone wanna buy a used Tilt???)...
One app I like using is WKTask, it allows the title bar to show mini title-bars for open apps (but I'm sure many of you already knew that )... anyway, here's a question for all those wonderful registry hackers out there who may also have just picked up a Pure/Topaz/etc. with a similar issue:::
I'm noticing that Opera 9.5 stays open in memory no matter what I do. I can use the exit menu item in the browser, I can use WKTask's Close or even Terminate, I can even use FDC Task Manager program to find Opera in the Apps list & kill it there... no matter what I do, it keeps popping back up, whether or not I have Manila running off the Today picklist.
The question here is: what is making Opera keep popping back up? Though I like the browser, I don't want it running in the background - until I want it to. Seems to me that maybe something in Manila is keeping a notification queue item rolling that opens Opera - but I've browsed through the notification queue and can't find anything that specifically mentions the browser...
This issue notwithstanding, I must say that I'm so far happy with the Pure (ex the bloatware of course). I've never been daring enough to flash non-stock ROMs... but maybe if the bloatware drives me crazy enough, I might just dive into the kitchen...
Any thoughts on the Opera issue? Thanks!!!

That was my first guess too. Check and see if push internet is off. I don't remember how to get there since I'm using 6.5.1 and Leo Manila but it should be easy.
OK... tried this, and WOW! The wonders of what you discover about your new device when you ask! (after searching, of course)....
I skimmed over the "Push Internet" feature in Manila settings somewhere, but didn't give it much of a thought, since at the time I didn't know what it was - hey, my Tilt didn't have Push-Internet. But seeing how freaking SLOW everything, including SPB Mobile Shell (which I somehow prefer over Manila - I know, it's sacrilege!) was running, I took the advice here about Push Internet, searched on how to disable it, found this link to an article on PocketNow.com which links to a file created by one of XDA-Developers' own, and voila! Instant gratification... and an over 10MB Program memory availability jump.
Thanks everyone for pointing me in the right direction! Cheers!

I have been using Memory map on windows mobile for a while now and find it excellent, i have contacted them about a Android version and they have said they have no plans at the moment, so my question is....does anyone know of or is making an app that can read the mmnav files that the maps are saved in ?
This is a fantastic routing prog for hiking, walking, biking etc would love it on my Hero......lets see.......
thanks in advance for any help
I think David gave the impression he was working on this.
I would advise to check
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=565516&highlight=os+maps
mail him, and give him some money
Have you tried OS-Maps?
tried em ...
thanks for the suggestions, i have tried both but neither work with the mmnav offline maps that i looking for...will keep trying
Any news on this?
The only thing stopping me from migrating too android is the lack of map software.
I have memory maps for WM, so have maps permanently on my phone.
The key difference is it means I can disable gprs/phone when hiking and save a HUGE amount of battery. the computer sync is nice too.
I want to leave WM behind and go android, but can't until mapping software is good
What is out there?
I would love to get an update on this as well. OS Map does not work in the US and the benefit of Memory-Map is having the map stored on the phone. Critical when you don't have a data connection. Not unusual with T-Mobile.
Check this out http://www.viewranger.com/android/
also look for OS maps on market, might be useful?
Am in same boat as a few others here...
I have EVERY map produced for Memory map(due to job its a must) So am reluctant to move completely from WinMo as the cost of the maps for memory map alone is in the thousands(YES I paid for them not warez). Same goes for Garmin mapsource too..
If we could use all this data on Android may be I would ditch My WinMo.... Till then WinMo is my primary phone and Android just a play thing.
Yes there are several apps out there that show great maps and even os maps but they rely on data connections which is often a problem when out in the mountains. Offline data is a must thus saving battery and cost... Viewranger is ok but that requires purchasing further mapping data I ALREADY HAVE....
The best solution I have found so far for android is Oruxmaps but this still requires the atlas creator to download and create OS Maps using Mutlimap maps.. But when you compare maps say the size of the peak district Orux maps 25k and 50k against memory maps they ares so different memory map = 200 Megs oruxmaps = 1.4gigs
So for me Memory maps and Garmin Mapsource is the main reason I can not move to Android...
Hope there will be a solution forth coming..
regards
Lohtse
Gonna haveto say,I love mem map, I need something that can read Raster Map files. There is no hope to read MMO files, as they are propitiatory files to Mem map. Give me somthing that reads raster maps, and I am gone from WinMo.
Hi,
i had the same problem when i was thinking about switching from WM to Android. So i decided to write an app to read and display QCT files from SD card.
I put this app in the Android Market. It is called "MM Tracker".
There is a free version which just can display the maps and shows your GPS position.
The pay version can record and display tracks as GPX files and is still under development regarding new features.
@Admin: I hope this is not unwanted advertising ? If so, please remove this post. But as i was looking for such an app for a longer time i think this information is useful for some Android users.

I think Android has some way to go to be on par with WM, theres so much more WM can do as compaired to Android, Android just seems very basic to me.
Thanks again.
tried to find mm tracker on market but didnt find it! Could some one post it here please?

figured out why can't find MM tracker... You have to have 2.2 froyo flashed.... So mm tracker is somewhat useless to most everyone....

Not useless for me, very good program, reads all my old qct maps.
but then I do have 2.2 flashed.
Well alot of us don't have 2.2 flashed. For me its because phone is running great at the mo and don't wish to prat about reinstalling 470+app's on 2.2 just for one app (tried it and well 2.2 seems to dislike 300+app's and that's all ver's have tried) Also 2.2 on hero is still bugging where as 2.1 is near perfect now..
So I PLEAD with the developer to make it 2.1 compatible I for one would be most greatful and consider paying for full version..

Hmmmmmm! I dunno???????/
Maybe you should update your phone? I`ve had no problems with stock 2.2 froyo on a HTC Desire, apart from it not being as good as WM.
Most software writers will wirte software for latest firmwares will they not? lower vers will soon be obsolite?
someone correct me it i`m wrong?

As to latest firmware comment it would seem more with the android community this happens .Im primary a WinMo user (got 15 of them) and alot of developers write to allow for wm200se,wm5,wm6,1 an wm6.5 plus wm7 so not always the case... Anyway this has moved away from the issue in hand which is the need for memory map on Android...
Hi,
I have 3PAYG using with Hero. The problem I am facing is:
Whenever i install any ROM which is not customised for 3 mobile, then i am unable to run skype on it. I get an error and skype closes immediately after signing in. Even I am unable to get the 3 Favorites page while using this ROM.
But when i use 3 customised ROM, then i get all the features available from 3 including skype.
Is there a work around to fool 3 while still using a non-3 ROM. I did some search on this forum, but couldnt find anything relevant. Apologies, if this has been discussed somewhere else, in that case please can anyone give me alink to that thread.
Many thanks
kish
I've been trying to work out exactly the same. Modaco 3.2 works great as that was based off a 3 Rom. Have you tried other 1.5 ROMs as i've not yet got round to seeing if it doesn't work because its incompatible with 2.1 or whether it is in fact that there is something hidden in the ROM from 3?

nope mate, i have tried just the v2.1 ROMS and unfortunately skype works on none of them. I think there are indeed some settings (root certificates, etc)
If some of the senior member can shed some light on this, it will be great.
if you could attach the skype apk here that might help. other than that, have you tried skype lite? available on the internet[tm]

Apk already posted
says "sorry, we don't have skype coverage where you are" when i try to log on... can't tell you more, sry.
if it's anything like the way 3 validate sony ericsson phone then there will be a certificate that you have to install to use their services.
I may not be a hero owner but this is just an idea:
anyone that's flashed a WM rom will know that when the ROM is first installed it runs through a series of tasks set out by an .xml file.
The way networks brand their phones is through this .xml file, it contains logos to replace the boot screen and wallpaper, also it contains an instruction to install the certificates to the phone.
This is because its easier for the network's techies to just create something like this than modifying the ROM itself.
This is true also for sony ericsson phones, its called a custpack.
For WM its called ExtROM.
My question is this: is there anything (remotely) like an ExtROM/Custpack for android/hero ROMS?
Josh.
Not sure if this info is any help here guys but I have a unbranded generic white hero, non rooted on stock 1.5 using a 3 simcard and I am able to download both skype and messenger from the 3 site and can use no problems.
The build number on my phone is 2.73.405.66 hope this helps

But to get the free skype to skype calls that 3 offer I'm thinking you would probably have to use the version provided by 3?
Its the main reason I haven't upgraded to 2.1, free skype and free messenger is to good to lose, but please correct me if I'm wrong here
Thanks but that's not what we're looking for, as that's skype lite which requires you to use skype credit to receive calls. What we're looking for is "skype beta on 3" which uses a special number to dial out and doesn't require credit to receive calls. The program is on the market, but that version only works with 1.5 NOT 2.1.
Although I hear that an update is on its way soon.
any luck anyone..
i think it relates to how 3 customises its phones (there should be some way in which authenticates which phones have 3 ROM)...

Don't think that is the case, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I am not using a 3 rom and have no problems accessing planet 3 and downloading the skype and messenger applications.
As I am using the generic unbranded HTC rom I find it highly unlikely to have been customized by 3!
So maybe the problem is not so much something that is missing but more likely some thing in the roms that shouldnt be there? just a thought
any thought by senior members?

What i wrote on the other thread regarding trying to run this on a 2.1 based rom below. Please note i've now had no problem running it on any 1.5 based rom, and have heard even some 1.6 devices have it running perfectly on a rom never touched by three, straight from another carrier.
I'm no dev, but looking at logcat, it seems the 'skype on 3 beta' crashes when trying to write the 'skype service' contact to the phonebook.
it errors trying to write to *content uri:* contacts/people/(number)/extensions as far as i can tell through my basic understanding, is that writing in that method is not supported under anything later than 1.6. It has been replaced by a new method.
I hope either some dev can workout what to change or we'll have to wait until three let it escape/release it!!! As i've worked out how to take apart the apk but lost when it comes to smali.

hey all I have a question is there a rom for the G1 that has the interface and features of
MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.6_MDJ_S78.0
thanks,
Reg
Way to make your question as awkward to answer as possible...
The ROM you're referring to features the 'new' HTC Sense, built on Froyo. There are Sense ROMs for Dream, but only based on Eclair (AFAIK, there are HVGA froyo sense builds but no one has ported them to Dream yet).
So you can get something similar, just based on Eclair, without the new Sense features... oh, and it will run like molasses.
sorry wasn't really sure how to put the question and that is the same rom I jun on my HD2 so i figured it would be easiest just to include the rom name.
Are there any downsides to going back to Eclair?
No native Apps2SD, things don't seem to run quite as fast. Nothing major, it's just outdated.
thanks that is what i needed to know
I have a quick question about G1 rom(s) as well, and don't think a new thread is necessary- I hope yonu won't mind if i use his thread..
I bought a G1 for my sister- she needs only facebook, youtube, some internet, texting, calling. The G1 is from rogers and it came with android 1.5- I immediately installed the newest cyanogen (6.x) on it by following the official cyanogen wiki. Now, however, the G1 is sometimes slower than my X1 running android. That doesn't seem right. Is this a normal cyanogen behavior? If yes, is there some light rom that is fast and stable? (it has to be froyo, as she needs facebook notifications.)
Thanks!

(it has to be froyo, as she needs facebook notifications.)
Thanks!

Pretty much, it's an old device. Your X1 has the same CPU as the G1, but has 64mb of RAM more than the G1.
Try the ezterry's Froyo MyTouch port, it's a port of the froyo build that was released for the mytouch3g (same hardware as G1). If that doesn't satisfy you, you'll be looking at going back to donut (1.6).
Thnx for replies.
to AdrianK: Is donut faster on G1? I always though that JIT makes Froyo the fastest android.. but I guess that works only when there is enough RAM..
to traumatism: Not sure here, but didn't it say in the marketplace that the notifications (by that I mean info in status bar about new message, comment etc showing up even when the fb app is not running) are available only for android 2.2 and up?
