I just flashed my phone after a lengthy process of changing the bootloader and going through all the steps on the wiki and ended up with windows mobile 6.1 and dcd's 3.1.6 rom. I thought everything was going great, until I tried to download follow a link to the google maps download I got in a text message. The page wouldn't load and the phone gave me an error that said that I had no service provider or something for internet access.
I have sprint sero and before today I had excellent 3g internet access. Now however, trying to navigate to web pages is impossible. However, my phone and sms and other sprint services still work, just not data transfer.
Also, I installed google maps through usb and the map functionality worked fine (which is strange because it's supposed to rely on internet access to get map information from the google servers). Maps would render fine and I could even search up directions from and to locations. However, when I tried to use the gps function, it failed to work just like it did before I flashed my mogul. It took me to what I assume to be the intersection of the prime meridian and the equator off the coast of africa.
This is very troublesome because the reason I flashed my firmware in the first place was to gain gps access!
My gps is configured exactly as outlined in the gps faq post on this forum, so it's not a configuration problem.
I'm extremely confused right now and I'd really appreciate it if someone explained these problems to me.
Just going out on a limb...did you install the Sprint carrier cab?
No... Why?
I'm guessing I should've?
Link?
I sometimes wonder if people read the first post of the kitchen's thread, or if they just click download and go at it...
i think we need a pens/wings link banner on the top as a "friendly reminder" to install the carrier cab....it really is amazing that people are willing to do this to their phones without paying attention and making sure they have everything right.

You dont have wireless carrier data service because you didnt install the carrier cab. This much I guess you already know now from the posts above. But to explain how google maps worked when you were connected to USB even though your wireless internet(data) was down is easy to explain. When you are connected by USB, the PC supplies internet capability to the Titan by activesync "pass down". This is normal and it is how activesync is supposed to work. It allows you to get data from an exchange server (synchronize) whenever you set your PPC in the cradle (or connect via USB).
Its quite a handy feature and allows you to use the internet on your titan even if you dont have wireless or WIFI access to the internet.
its kind of my fault for separating it. i was working on a startup script to prompt for carrier and automatically install, but i scrapped it. i will work on it more when i have time.
Thank you maccaberry for the informative and cordial reply.
That makes sense actually, as now that I'm not connecting my phone to my pc google maps fails to work.
So where can I get the sprint carrier cab download? I searched the xda wiki and google but found nothing.
http://www.lifesnotsogood.com/dcd1182/titan/carriers/dcd Titan Carrier - Sprint.cab
I have a question about this one too. I had been on dcd's 3.0.4 ROM and 3.35 Radio, with a 2.00 PRI and 60611 PRL. After upgrading everying to 3.1.6, 3.39.10, 2.03.003, and 60711 (plus the Sprint carrier cab), I now have the GPS off the coast of Africa problem. I had this problem with earlier ROM versions, but had to upgrade to fix it. Not sure what I can do now.
I am using GoogleMaps, which I know doesn't need to prime the GPS first. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: Nevermind. It is working now. Tempermental phone perhaps. Also, now that it is working, I tried to see if I could get a lock indoors like others, but I can't. Those that can, must be nice.
Thank you Santehnik!
I've got the carrier cab installed and the data's working just fine now.
The gps function for google maps is still broken though..
Maybe I'm just having the same problem kockroach had. Kockroach, how did you fix your gps? Or did it just start working on its own?
Also, does anyone know where I can download windows live messenger? The app was missing on dcd's rom, but I actually need it for contact information retrieval.

3.16 was the first time I used UC, and it works great (except for cabs that require user info on install- this affects thing like Skyfire and Wireless Sync), so I would suggest people read up on it from the UC link in the first post of the 3.16 thread, at least to install their carrier cab. Next time around I'm going to try and use it for reg edits and file copies as well, since that's my last frontier for autoinstall. UC is slow, but its great to just sit and let it happen, instead of manually doing it.

Cabs that require input are easy....all you do is add a few commands before and after the CAB command like this:
Code:
LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\regularcab.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\regularcab.cab
LOCK:Disabled
HIDE:Enabled
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\userinputcab.cab
HIDE:Disabled
LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\regularcab.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\regularcab.cab
LOCK:Disabled
RST: Reset
Currently I have everything done via UC. I use three provxml files, one for registry, one for file operations, and one for email. If anyone wants to see my files for reference let me know.
1. In my SDConfig.txt setup, I have all the cabs listed one after another. In yours, do the HIDE commands temporarily bring the user input screen to the front, and then continue? If so, does HIDE have to be enabled/disable for each such cab, or can you enable, do a few cabs in a row that require input, and then disable again?
Also, I have one program, Pocket Plus, which requires a soft reset. I just put it last in the file and then rebooted manually. Is there a command to allow reset and then continue with UC?
2. I for one would like to see your SDConfig with the provxml files used for reg edits, as this would finish things off for me. It seems the more time that goes by the more regedits I add, and it really is time consuming.
Sorry for OT on this, but the UC thread is enormous. Thanks!

I have a MDA Vario and I was Wondering
Which navigational program can I use / install on my Vario?
And where can i get it? :lol:
TomTom can be a pain to get installed and running. Search the forums for further advice. It took me a couple of attempts. Once installed it works perfectly. Get the scamera, sorry saftey camera database from www.pocketgps.co.uk it enables you to have appropriate warnings. e.g. 30mph warnings at 30 mph sites, 50mph warnings at 50mph locations. I have to pass 7 cameras on different speed roads each journey into work and it is nice to have a reminder where the sites are to allow me to check my speed. I have no experience of other SatNav software but there are some comprehensive reviews on the pocketgps site.

TomTom on MDA Vario
How did you manage to put TomTom 5 on a Vario? Every time I try I get a set up application error and asks if I want to send a report to Microsoft. I tried to install 3 and that failed as well.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Nich
There are better people to guide you through the steps necessary than me but this is what worked for me. Don't use the TomTom installer from CD. Extract the cab files from the CD, I use Winrar on my PC to do this. Copy the cabs over to the vario. Using a file explorer on the vario create the following directories. \tomtom, \My Documents\TomTom, \Storage Card\TomTom, and finally \Storage Card\zip. Copy your map to \Storage Card\Great-Britain-Map\. Copy Great_Brittain.Postal to \Storage Card\zip. Tap on the cab files one at a time. I don't think it matters which order you do the cabs. I soft reset between cabs but again I don't think this is essential. Once all the cabs have installed, DON'T start TomTom. Go to setting>connections>Bluetooth>Devices and setup a new partnership with your GPS unit. Tab to COM Ports and create a new port for the GPS. Leave Secure Connection unchecked. Mine is COM6. Using a file explorer, I use TotalCommander go to \My Documents\TomTom and edit CurrentMap.dat to point to your map folder on the storage card. Soft reset and when the vario is backup start TomTom from the startmenu. When asked to configure GPS choose Other Bluetooth and then COM6. I found it helped to be outside with a good satelite lock prior to this last step. TomTom will automatically turn on Blurtooth for you and switch it off again when TomTom is closed. TomTom does take an age to come up after tapping the startmenu but once running it is pretty responsive. If you overclock with OmapClock TomTom does come up quicker but it is still the slowest program on my vario to launch. If you need further help just shout. I will try to find the exact list of extracted cabs I used. I do know that the English Female voice is voice05.cab.
Al
Thanks for all this, unfortunately it did not work. When I tried to execute the cabs files, I get the message installation was unsuccessful.
Thanks for your help anyway.
Nich
rephrase:
Ok, installed the cab files per your instruction and also created a new partnership between my gps receiver and my MDA. It appears only serial 6 and 7 show up on mine and they both used. Am I suppose to creat a new serial port the GPS device? When I try to do it, it still only shows up 6 or 7 and it won't allow me to use neither.
Also, where do you put the voice file? I presume that is not a cab file.
Still trying to get mine to work. Almost there...I hope.
Thanks.

There are lots of posts about this problem on this and many other forums.
In brief - only TT V5.21 works on a WM5 ppc.
If you add an extra outgoing port for BT on either 6 or 7 TT V5.21 allows them to be used, V5 does not.
see my post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43412 for full install instructions.
I used your instrctions and got it up and running in no time. Tnx for that. It works great.

crashing when setup
hi ive just got my copy of tom tom and have installed both the standard and update.
when im trying to do my initial setup it crashes when i choose the map i want to use. i ahve no idea why?
any help?
p.s. it does work perfectly fine on a wm2003 pda
I would guess you are not using a copy from a shop!
Sounds like you have a file missing.... You need to create a directory \My Documents\TomTom
Then create a text file called Currentmap.dat with the following in:
! \Storage Card\Great_Britain-Map\
assuming you are using the UK map and its on your storage card.
Transfer this file to your device and then start TomTom and you should be ok.

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.
http://www.box.net/shared/xu8t6650u8
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

Telstra v5.2
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...

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...
Please make sure that your device is cid and sim unlocked before installing the rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...80#post1354180 Also put your device into bootloader manually by pressing the camera button and softreset at the same time
Ok first I just want to say thanks to eaglesteve for helping me test new BT stacks however, I was unable to get a bt stack that would do file transfer to and from phone or laptop and still have it work for bt headsets. I should point out that the bt stack that is in there does work just not for everything some of the files are from the diamond and some are from ap4 and I personally have tested using BT headphones, BT mouse and BT keyboard all at the same time and it works pretty well. I also want to thank ervius for helping me with xip porting and to cmonex for helping with anything I needed help with and thanks to Anunnaki for the animated startup and anyone else I forgot about
I added new splash screens that are in line with the startup theme from my last rom, hope u guys like as I did it myself
Ultra Vanilla: build 19521.1.1.0
added total commander over file explorer
removed stuff from cpl reg
added custsk to config.txt
fixed welcomehead startup
switched band to auto
changed quickgps reg settings to 7 days
changed default phone skin
enabled autotimezone
added tcpmp and all plugins in place of wmp
added easy config for wimp with hardrest option (will be explained in download folder)
Of course this is a uc compliant rom if you are unfamiliar with this then click on the link to find out how to make a sdconfig.txt file so all your apps are loaded automatically http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337
I have removed about 22mb of stuff but I kept all the reg settings and intflashfiles.dat settings also. So if you want to add any of that stuff back into the rom just copy it to your device and it should work.
There are no screen shots as this is Ultra Vanilla so there is not much to show off

Irus,
I just installed it and have the following questions/concerns:
1. I can't find comm manager so I can't turn on wifi.
2. My previous taxis/irus rom did not have any keyboards installed and I liked that about ultra-lite.
3. no real vga to alter dpi (can I install this separately?).

different people use different comm managers so i left it out
i kept default keyboard so people could choose their own
you can install that yourself
Ok.
Could you (or someone) point me to a comm manager and the realvga software to download.

GPS is good this time. Cold fix took 1 minutes and 44 seconds outdoor under clear blue sky. The same spot that I stood when I tested the Chinese ROM, which incidentally took more than 6 minutes. But Sprite Terminator still does not work. I think it does not work in WM6.1 period. With Wm6.0 it works.
Noticed an error when trying to navigate to bluetooth folder.
Also, it is strange that a number of my application acquired a generic icon for the application rather than the proper icon. Does anyone else have this problem? Edit: icon appeared after a soft reset.
Still installing application, but it feels fast. I think you have a winner here.

Your spalsh screen is nice. The only thing I'm uncomfortable is the fact that you advertise to the potential thief how to do hard and soft reset. I'd rather that info be extremely difficult for the thief to obtain.
Cheers.
I wonder if it is just me. I noticed that occasionally the device seems to refuse to reflesh /update the screen, showing completely wrong info and image. For example, the icon of application often does not get instantly updated after an installation. When I was using my eWallet, when I click on the Field tab, it is not showing the screen for that but from whatever was left behind just before this. Some strange behaviour.
There is something strange with some drivers i think.. TT6 (i've installed the common application for anu LITE rom) screen refresh is very slow, changing menus I see a "fading" slow effect and a sloooow refresh rate. (you used net cf 3.5 right?)
Other suggestion
1)I will suggest to remove customer experience
2) Default sounds aren't working
3) too many SIP, they waste resources and memory

I think so too. The refreshing of screen is not functioning normally.
Anyone having problem setting up email accounts and connecting to them? I took several attempts before I managed to set up email account. It did not see the service provider I had set up before. My service provider was strangely not on the pull down list when I tried setting it up manually. Later, after it was set up, attempt to download mail results in something to the effect of invalid settings for connection.

that is a good point, i can redo it and give wrong info they keep hitting the ok button with no success
i cannot find the Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab, the link provided is broken, can someone email it to ME?
Here is a copy I found

GPS Server cab on Verizon xv6800 and xv6900
Thank you for this wonderful app! When I first installed it, all was well used the "location" function in Google Maps - perfect! But then it quit working, for no apparent reason. I performed a "hard" reset on the device, and re-ran the GPSServer cab, and I still cannot get it to work on either of my devices. Did Verizon distribute a "poison pill" to disable the GPS again? Please help.
Look here for new cab.

I've been trying for the last couple of days to solve an issue (it's not really a problem) that has been irritating me for a while. The issue is that everytime i flash a new rom i have to spent a coupe of hours after configuring everything again. Now, I use the 6.5.x tree of NRGZ28's energy rom series, specifically the standard variant and i want to create some scripts that will automatically setup things like my exchange server, hotmail, opera user-agent string and wifi. I already have a script that is supposed to work for exchange (not tested it yet) and one for the wifi. The wifi one just doesn't work but i've just done some reading and i think i know why (More on that in a mo). So, i was wondering, has anyone tried this already? If so do you have the scripts that are needed or know where i can find them?
Now, back to the wifi script. The reason i believe it doesn't work is because it would appear that the wifi has to be on for the WLAN driver to accept the new configuration. Now when you install a new rom, as most of you will know, the wifi is turned off and those of you familiar with the energy rom series will know that xda_uc runs right after first boot allowing no time for the wifi to be enabled manually. So, i was thinking, is it possible to write some code that will enable the wifi at first boot so the configuration script will successfully modify the wifi configuration?
Thanks for your thoughts in advance guys and girls.
Have a look in the FAQ for the ROM and there is post for sample scripts. I used them last night and got hotmail and exchange working. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7333558&postcount=19477
Check the FAQ - each time I re-read it I figure something else out.
lol and there was me thinking it would be a lot harder. i always skip past the faq because 9 times out of 10 they are always filled with things like "How do i flash a rom" etc but i do still have a feeling it's not going to cover all my questions, things like can i write some code to enable the wifi at first boot or some other things i haven't meantioned like can i write a script that will automatically configure omarket with my login details.
I want to go all out on this and have it set up so i have to do as little manual configuration as possible so some code samples and/or further pointer would be really handy.
Just had another look at the faq and found i already had the xml generator listed in the energy addons page. One small problem... I have no idea what the hotmail server configuration is. Any clues? if not i will google it later.
Got my hotmail script. No idea if it works, guess i'll have to test it at some point.
I'm still looking for info on how to enable the wifi at first boot. Although at this point i am open to suggestions on different methods that could be used.
I am also a little disappointed. i thought this one had more legs to it. oh well, you can't always get everything you want i guess.
Just a litlle update. I got the wifi to take the settings without turning it on. Well i say i did it when really it just seemed to work. i think it might have somethig to do with some new drivers that were cooked into the rom i use.
I dropped the hotmail script because i do actually use windows live fair often and i ended up with 2 hotmail email accounts in the email tab but with a couple of tweaks i did get my exchange settings script to work like a dream.
I'm now looking into setting the phone identity using a reg file. I gave it a go using a script i picked up but instead of doing what it was supposed to it just stopped the windows and HTC sms clients from working correctly and i can't figure out why (it caused the phone to create several undeleteable sms messages). I'll post the code at the bottom. I'm also wondering if it is possbile to have a script that will copy files (ringtones specifically) to the right location. I think XDA_UC will do this if you create the directory structure in a folder in the XDA_UC folder on the sd card (hope you followed that one). Can anyone confirm that? I also created a script to configure quickgps but that didn't seem to work, i'll post the code for that too.
I'm still wondering if it would be possible to configure the opera user agent string using some form of script or reg file and it would be really nice if i could something similar with BSB tweaks, agps, HTC location service and pretty much everything else tbh. So if anyone has any scripts, reg files or cab files they wanna share i will certainly welcome them and i'm sure that many others will too.
Anyway, to posting those reg files:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident]
"Name"="Lucifer"
"Desc"="HTC HD2"
"OrigName"="Lucifer"
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\QuickGPS]
"auto"=dword:00000001
"actSync"=dword:00000001
"ExpiredTime"=dword:00002760
"remind"=dword:00000001

id some looking up on the device name thing and found this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa924188.aspx seems my reg key was a little wrong.
I've also managed to create a cab file that will install my ringtones and then setthem with all related options as the defaults. I know it's not very impressive but it's a step in the right direction. I think i may have a look at exporting the bsb tweaks settings later and see how that goes.
Oh one question: i have been looking for an .reg to xml converter but my google results all seem a little vague and i don;t know if can trust the programs i'm finding. Has anyone got any suggestions?

I don't think you need to convert reg to xml. Just leave the .reg files in the XDA_UC directory and it should run automatically.

No, you're right. I have no idea what i was thinking.
Another little update. I have working reg files for opera ua string and quickgps. I've decided not to bother with bsb tweaks because it's so easy to setup but being able to preconfigure windows live would be cool. Also being able to preconfigure agps would be nice
