Hi there again,
I've been doing a lot of reading and searching through the forum and I now understand a lot more about my XDA - luvverly...
But I have a couple of questions - I have looked I promise but I can't find anything.. If I've missed something please forgive me !
This is all based on the fact that I still haven't upgraded the ROM to 1.1 or PPC 2003 (I'm kind of waiting for 1.2! - looks exciting!).. Yes I know I should, but are these problems common to standard PPC 2002 and will get fixed or are there other answers ?
1) Is PPC 2002 software that I install compatible with PPC 2003 ? I've got a shedload of freeware that states PPC 2002 only - is it a case of it's just untested ?
2) Program stopping - this is a major pain, when I cradle the unit and ActiveSync kicks in, it errors with "unresolved" if I have programs running.. so I have to go into memory etc and stop everything before I cradle it... I'm still not sure I understand the concept of keeping the progs open when I've exited them - can anyone help me here ? Is it like having a service in NT ?
Sorry for all of the questions, I know I should upgrade, but I like to understand why I'm upgrading first, so I'd really appreciate any help you can give.
Oh and my number port still hasn't happened.............. :evil:
Well don't all rush at once :lol:
I've sorted the brightness thing - it's to do with the background picture still being selected when I added a new theme... fairly basic stuff I realise..!
For Q1)
Most PPC2003 APP compatible with PPC2002, however some of them will cause fatal error on the machine -- Such as BatteryPack 2003 5.05 (or any version earlier). The machine will never bootup after installed the 5.05 version, except a hard-reset.
Another other example that didn't work with PPC2003 is Call2Pic, but we can use PhoneExt 1.2, which is a freeware and more powerful (if only for ringtone). XDA Phone skin chooser, Double Launcher, VITO Voice Dialer PE 2.5 work too.
By the way, all games I tried are compatible with PPC2003. Almost all media player work perfectly with PPC 2003 too, except PocketMVP.
I think it is a very good percentage of compatible software for a new OS update.
Lotus EasySync Pro doesn't work.
Just a note to add to the list. EasySync Pro does NOT work under 2003. It's what forced me back to XDADev 1.1 since I have to be able to Sync with my Lotus Notes system at work.

excellent news - thanks chaps !!
I'm clearly in the presence of people that are far more knowledgable than I, and although I wouldn't claim to be a developer I do know my way round a unix box and also work with high-end music apps (unique wav files anyone?) so I'll be glad to offer any assistance I can, whilst learning the more intricate aspects of this wonderful machine...
cheers again...
Novosec Pocket Facelift works but has problems witht he skinned taskbar. sux cuz its a nice taskbar. other than that its fine.
New ExtROM for Telstra iMate. Has the new video viewer so you can watch Foxtel etc. Probably some other bits and pieces that I haven't had time to take a look at.

Haven't tried it with any of WM6 flavours.

Excellent work. Just loaded Black 2.0 and didn't really want to load the new rom I just downloaded from iMate website. Time to install some cabs and have a play with the Foxtel channels.

You mean the one that was released weeks ago and discussed here?

yeah it was discussed and released, but nobody extracted or posted the extended rom.
I asked for it, but nobody did it. This is great, got the files.... now....
i noticed a lot of new stuff.... lots of cabs that are not normally there. does anybody know what they do!!! i would like to get some of the new features, i know instinctively what a lot of them do, but i really dont have any clear guidelines or indication for the following as to whether they will add value, or clutter....

These are the two I want

Just wondering if I need any of the first few, at all to get the next two.
I know some gurus can extract and see in side what they do, i dont have these facilities, skills or knowledge, so if there are people who can, would you mind... i can post the cabs individually back if you wish.

I believe the player is to fix a streaming video problem that existed in that the default player did not work with the format that Foxtel is streamed using.
Not sure about the Telstra 5.2 bit. I'm not smart enought to deconstruct these things...
EDIT: Oh never mind... I just realised what the question was... It's too early in the morning to be reading and posting

the Videoplayer_no_Uninstall is for Foxtel
Telstra v5.2 is for setting up dataconnections and stuff... but this checks your IMEI before it starts...and if its not an IMATE it will not load...
Ok, i seem to have found a little bit...
NITZ is network identification and time zone disabling facility, so dont install...
MyPlace appears to be some sort of shopping or internet web facility link/app probably just to encourage us to buy more...
WaveDev is supposed to add base boost to the device for tcpmp and the like, so probably worth installing
RTSP is real time streaming protocol, so probably needed for the foxtel installation
PP Version might be to do with the java midlet, not sure yet.
MWizard cant find anything on at all yet.
3818_07 and AUS_HR and prefRat_2 still looking....
Installed MyPlace cab which has a few good web shortcuts. Also installed the Videoplayer_no_Uninstall is for Foxtel, but it comes up with an error when I start the app."PVPlayer cannot be opened. Not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its componets cannot be found".
So I think it may need another one of the CAB's installed to get it working.
ANyone else had a play with this yet?
Cheers,
Dev
RTSP didn't help, still got the error.
I'll try another cab.
i have extracted and got all the cabs. i havent tried the foxtel, though that is the one that i want.
there is a subscription fee.
also an imei check is required, if you dont have imate, it wont install apparently. mine is imate jasjam, so hopefully it will work.

Getting a bit of research going, and testing.
FIRSTLY. IF YOU HAVE WM6 DO NOT INSTALL PV PLAYER OR RTSC.
You dont need it. Media Streaming works for Foxtel services. The reason PV Player is available is due to WM5 and the shortfall of the OS. WM6 uses media streaming and it works, so we dont need that.
The new telstra cab file is beneficial. It installs the correct settings for MMS and internet, sets the WAP facility and i also find i get better phone connection, might be an appearance, see later.
The proxy manager that is installed should be used with My Places, to force the system through the WAP and thus receive the concessional access charges of My Places. Also, My Places being WAP based, is very text limted, and download size limited compared to most, so the cost of access is much cheaper.
However, I suspect leaving the proxy on is going to interfere with push email, and general browsing. So its a matter of turning the proxy on before connecting to the internet (and WIFI is not available when proxy on), so that you can connect to the internet My Places and their rosey garden of chosen content.
However it is possible to access foxtel via the normal internet settings, but suspect if you do that you are going to get or incur premium data charges.
So in summary the ones i wanted i dont want, and the ones i didnt want or need, i installed. Not all though, if I couldnt see a reason for them, skipped them.
Still awaiting some feedback or input in what most of them were about, but if you are on telstra, then some of the items in that extended rom are worth while.
If somebody after this does want to know what i installed, and the effects (if known!), PM me. Its going to be a bit of trial and error over time, so better to PM rather than me keep posting back....
Also, might be beneficial for somebody to consider looking at some of the other files like the mms and other cab files, to see if they are newer, better, or more efficient than the standard device settings.
Personally, i aint gonna bother unless i find a need, i am sure anything in wm6 is going to be better than what imate are releasing.... (thanks to jasjamming and his premium wm 6 OS.... )
Thanks for the info simon. It is appreciated.
Is any of this required in WM6? Is it possible to just get the ExtRom by itself? I upgradded to the latest ROM from iMate/Telstra, but i want to upgrade to WM6 too...
just download ext rom review as reqd but install telstra cab and my places cab if u want foxtel. there are 3 others installed and didnt appear tause harm but cant see what they did or the benfits.
somebody needs to open the cabs and let us know wot they do.
i also installed the 3518 odd ball one, the one with AUS in it and pref-rat as its name imples prwference rates but dont really know wot these 3 did... but again caused no apparent harm.
Have installed those two cabs but cant get Foxtel to work.
I go to my place and click on the Foxtel icon, and I get the following error "Page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost". I do have a data connection as my push mail & web browsing works perfectly. I'll have to try other cabs as when I click on Bigpond music icon on My Place, it comes up and says Non Telstra, so there is obviously something missing.
Any ideas anyone?
Dev
Do you have the telstra proxy turned on?
you should b able to access wap on my places without proxy. proxy reqd for most things though including foxtel.
can u browse the internet? is connection set to internet or work?
if that fails disconnect from internet and use the telstra proxy and view the rese coloured telstra garden...
No, I didnt have proxy enabled. Just turned it on and it doesnt make any difference as I still get the same error message. When I click on the Foxtel icon, it want to connect to Telstra.internet, not Telstra.Wap. Both my WAP & Internet connections are working perfectly.
I'm stumped!
Dev
Yea - I cant get fox or AFL vids to function either. Can browse to the wap sites, etc, and click on the TV stuff, it loads up the Windows Media player, says 'Failed to connect', then closes.
Im working with WM6 Black 2.0, with just the Telstra 5.2 cab and My places cab installed. Proxy was set to 'On' for my testing.
Would like to know if I need any other cabs from the Ext rom to get it to work.
i am having difficulties. still testing. but... in media streaming ... need to set the connections settings as to which to use may be secure wap or simply wap. not sure which yet.
i had the test working ok... cant get live to work yet. need to fiddle and ensure doesnt exceed downloads while testing...
Hi....I recently flashed CUSTEL'S V2.5 WM6 and I was running Dopod WM6. With dopod wm6, IE was full version and I got full websites with great quality pictures etc. Now, with CUSTEL'S WM6, I am on Pocket IE and it just plain stinks. Is there a way to change IE or get rid of the "pocket" version or do I have to live with it while using this WM6 rom?
U can try Netfront, Opera, P.I. plus for your PPC. Just do a search for more info on these...
You never had a "full" IE as your calling it. It was Pocket IE in both roms, however, there might of been some setting changes. Do you have images turned on? Are you browsing through a mobile proxy now? Make sure you are going to the same addresses as before.

Well, I just had to assume it was full....things like yahoo for instance, if I went to yahoo b4, I would get the full yahoo website. Now, I automatically get redirected to mobile yahoo...and images on all websites are very low quality where as b4 they were fine. I can not find anywhere to change these settings.
there will be a option in pocket ie somewhere can't remember where atm, (i'm currently hooked on opera ppc 8.65) where you can tell pie to identify itselfs as a mobile browser, you will get pages optimised for mobile devices.(or it might be in pieplus or one of the other reg hacks )
or you can tell it to identify as a ie6 in which case you will get web pages desgined for a full size screen...
registry hack
it's a registry hack that announces what version of IE you're using.
Do a google search and you'll get you're answer.
It's HKLM/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/ Windows/ Current Version/Internet Settings/5.0/User Agent
Change Version to MSIE 6.0

Hahaha, probably faster as to login on a forum and ask you're question!
Thanks for the replies.....I am unfamiliar with how to get into the registry so I will have to figure something else out.
get a tweak program
A lot of the tweaking programs will do this for you.
www.tweaks2k2.net is one of the best
What if we used a Proxy Server instead of the WAP servers, and mobile servers that are provided.. then wouldnt the pages show up in full form?
Hello my wonderful community!
Recently I've switched from the old WM 6.1 to the WM 6.5 and I must admit I'm lovin the Titanium interface. Its even more usable for me than the new Manilas. But theres only one thing missing. A Titanium plugin displaying Opera bookmarks. Now I know there was Showaco's plugin for this but it doesnt work with the new Opera 9.7 as the file which stored the bookmarks for Opera seems to be gone. So my humble request... would anyone be interrested in developing a new plugin which works with the new opera? Even if its impossible to read the bookmarks from Opera or Manila, even manual adding of bookmarks for example would also do the job right? Thix for reading

I recall there is a thread with an opera fix to fix that bookmarks issue on new opera versions, and then use the existing OperaFav plugin

Saw that fix, tried it... doesn't work:/
By the way I'm shocked to see that the developement of plugins for Titanium has stopped... Doesnt anyone appreciate it anymore?

The fix worked for me. There are still new plugins coming out, like Playit, Speeddial or AppLauncher or JMLLauncher etc. Also JML is expanding his Today plugin to incorporate more information. Of course there not many new plugins anymore as this has been saturated and almost everything has been covered, so there is not anymore so much need.

Yes and no
I think we are only at the beginning, what's possible with Titanium (it's too much undocumented - only with the findouts which comes more and more, we get more)
Look at TouchFlo: How much "Panels" do you have? 10,12?
In Titanium there are almost 30 Plugins available - some are old, some are newer.
And I must admit - I would have ideas fo 10 more Plugins, which are not available, like writing SMS direct in Titanium, looking TV-Panel, Radio-Panel, ... and much more. And I think there are much more people here, who have ideas and could make a new Plugin.
And you could invent for each application with less or more effort a Plugin to control it or to use it - so it's almost unlimited.
Unfortunately some of the first Pioneers seems to have no more time - like Showaco or AppStar. And therefore there was a little stop 3-4month before - but no more now, I think.
But the most of the Plugins must get interactive - that's the new way to develop 'em. The must communicate with each other. The must be skinable and must get new Skins.
With JMLPanex/JMLGoto they have working Buttons and you can jump around in Titanium. You can "interact"
Contables Plugins uses this, Chris makes a great Sense Theme, and with TICS_installer it's now possible to install each Plugin to each Theme - also Bliss,Neo,Win7,SPlugins,...
And only to mention a new version with much more possibilities (Calendar for x days now possible, SMS,...) is the new JMLToday 5.5 from todays release:

Hey - Titanium is only at the Beginning - the official Release of WinMo 6.5 was... ? (Oct'09)
Micha
simply edit the first line of opera9.mscr file to read
Code:
opera = "\windows\Opera9\Profile\opera6.adr"
that is all that is needed to make it work reading bookmarks. may need to edit the path to the opera exe for the launcher if it is not in the default \windows\operal.exe
I don't mind if it's free or paid (to a point). I'm not looking for bells and whistles, what I do need is a decent reliable search function that delivers plenty of results for my rather unusual tastes. And for the stations to actually exist and be online when I choose them.
EDIT - I should add, I've tried so far -
Winamp - While a great player, I got no hits for one of my shoutcast searches, and about 3 for another. I know they should both return dozens.
Miroamer Global Radio - No good, can't remember why, uninstalled
Shoutcast Client (by GOMORK) - Looked promising, but didn't complete setup.
playStream Internet Radio - The closest to what I'm looking for. If no-one has a better suggestion, I'll stick with this.
Cheers
