Hi everyone
does anyone know how to get TomTom Navigator 6 to run on the Lobster 700TV?
I have managed to get the application lock sorted now but not TT N6. I know that TT N6 lists in its code the phones that it will run on but the Monet is not one of them. I have used a hex editor to overwrite another HTC phone in the code in the hope that this may work. Although the phone now starts to run TT N6, it stops with the error: "not digitally signed ...". There must be something else that needs changing but I am not sure what.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Regards ...
I got it working, but it would not find the map, or should I say it crashed when it got to that stage.
TomTom MOBILE (v5.2) works fine
I know that this may not help, but I've got TomTom MOBILE (App Version 5.200 (4450)) working on the Lobster.
I think you've found out that version 6 does not work.

Thanks for that.
It seems that TomTom Navigator 6 is a step backwards. I have had to do a lot of hacking with the software but without success so far although a breakthrough seems close.
Lobster 700TV
Hi ringp3ace
I have now tried TT Mobile 5.2 and yes, it works. I went on eBay and found this software for sale at £22 including PP. If anyone is intrested, there are 4 more left so be quick.
All the best,
Bluetooth GPS
Well, thanks to ringp3ace, I now have fully functional Tomtom Mobile working on my Lobster. Problem is, my bluetooth GPS device (GRB-288), wont play ball. I can pair and connect ok but there's no communication going on. I know there are some bluetooth devices that sulk when they are used with some phones but does anyone know which bluetooth GPS will work with the Lobster?
Regards
I'm having problems installing 5.20 on my Monet - using the download from the tomtom site it instals successfully up to the Jane voice then fails saying it isn't compatible with this device and backs out all the previous instals. Any ideas? I have a proper product key as I bought tomtom 6 for my pda and I can move tomtom 5 to the monet. Cheers

Thanks for your input but I have already found that the BT GPS 77 device also works well. I now have TT 5.2 running well on the Lobster.
Thanks to all those who helped to bring about this happy event.

TomTom6 working (sort of)
I managed to install TomTom6 onto the Monet. It runs OK, but the lack of a touchscreen is the killler though - just too difficult to use without one.
Certain screens require the touch screen (setting up the GPS, selecting a postcode). The fakecursor/touch screen emulator is not an ideal solution either as I can't see how to assign the fakecursor program to a hardkey on the Monet.
I went back to 5.2 which runs fine. 5.0 doesn't as the screen goes garbled.
Can anyone help, I keep getting "set up is not a valid windows ce application" when trying to run tomtom mobile 5.2
hard to say without more info.
sounds like you are trying to run a .exe file on the monet that should really be run on the PC (if its the setup file)
The executable file that should be run on the monet is TomTom Mobile.exe
Can anyone help me,
when trying to install tomtom mobile 5.2 it freezes on the voice selection.
Anyone any ideas
Thanks in advance

Help with TT Navigator 5.2
To all those how are still trying to get Lobby to play with TT.
First, make sure your Lobster is 'application unlocked' (see start of this thread)
Next, ensure that you are trying to install version 5.2 of TT Navigator and that it is a Windows Mobile version (there are several versions). The Symbian version for some phones will load but not run.
Once loaded correctly, TT Navigator 5.2 will self install from the software loaded to the phone using the HOME application on your PC. This application will 'see' the connected Lobster and memory card.
I have spent hours trying to find the 'secret' and I can tell that it does work. If you read through this thread you will find others that have too.
If you still have problems, let me know
Regards
Thank you for the help Leadweight
When you say HOME application on the PC, what do you mean?
Many thanks again
Elbow
Thanks again Leadweight
Reading what you said and some of the other posts I now have it working on the Lobster - taken me hours but it is pretty impressive...

Needed to create a tomtom folder within my documents section of the phone and install the data.chk file.
Sorted !
Here I go again with my upgrading issues. I recently upgraded my ROM to PK Black thanks to olipro unlocker, the whole athena project, HeartofDarkness, and ITXDA. THANKS FOR A GREAT ROM and all your help.
My new issue......I need a voice dialer that works. The dialer that was in the shipped ROM of my 7501 was great. Is there a place that I can get thdialer in CAB to re-install to my device? I am currently using VOICE_Tri. It does work but only when the phone is actively on/unlocked. So if my phone is in my pocket and or locked, I cannot dial. The original dialer worked when my phone was locked or not near me. I really want this back. Can anyone suggest a dialer that works that I don't have to buy? Can I strip it from the HTC ROM?
Thanks in advance.

Try this! You might have to purchase this one though!
You're welcome, really.
Do you remember what you used prior to upgrading ?
Heavyweights are:
- Microsoft Voice Command (doesn't need training);
- Cyberon Voice Dial (requires tagging).
Both are commercial products, but since you rightfully own a device that was provided with either, there shouldn't be much problems if you did bit of searching on the forum or googling and found workable archives...

The voice dialer I was using previously was included in the shipped firmware on my 7501. I have no idea who made it or if it was simply part of the ROM. I did try the one offered on mahmood's site and it seems to be working well enough for now. I will use this latest one until I find another. I did have Microsoft's version when I had other devices but I often had trouble using it with a BT device. There was one that I read about that announces your incoming calls and other little neat things, but with all my reading, I forgot its name. So, long story short, I am ok for now, but still always on the prowl for biger, better, faster, smarter, easier etc.
So keep me in mind if something surfaces that is a dowlaoad (pref. free) that I can try.
BTW, do you know how to get PocketCM off of my device?

Looks like it would one to try, but do you know if it is unistallable once it's on. I still trying to get Pocket CM out of my device.
you might have to use a registry delete on that one. some how it installed in your registry...thats why you cant easily remove it. try resco registry. you should be able get in and delete it with that software.
BTW...that link to that Voice dialer...yes it removes once you go into settings and Remove Programs. I dont think however, that it gives you the option to save your settings. But who cares.... Good Luck buddy!

Anyone "in the know" on what is going on with Microsoft Voice Command?
For those not up to date heres the brief bio:
Microsoft released a rocking WM program that offers true voice recognition on pocketPCs and smartphones. If it didn't come with your carrier's build, it's a $40 upgrade, and well worth it. The latest version is 1.6. Unfortunately, it's been fraught with little issues, mostly related to Bluetooth headset compatibility, but most people still find it indispensable in spite of these challenges. I'm one of those people. The dial by number, and recognition of any name in the address book is invaluable to me, and a "must have" app for my 6800, no matter how badly it works.
The program is at version 1.6, and hasn't been updated in 2 years now.
What's the skinny?
jtg
I agree. I have had the same problems and have searched the net for any info about an update. Like you, I have not been able to find anything about a projected release of a new version. I guess that is just the microsoft way...only 2 years..
I heard a rumor that it was goint to be built into the next version of Windows mobile, but I hope that's not true.
If that happens, hoppefully it will be DCD to the rescue with a port for use all!!!
The real deal:
Ok, to those who haven't been following:
Microsoft DID update the VC software, but it was never released. It seems the Windows Mobile version went to the back burner since they made a deal with Ford Motors to start including the VC technology in the new Ford in-dash stereo systems (que up your mp3's, make calls via your bt phone, etc).
However, there was a test rom floating around for another WM device that had a greatly improved new VC version, which fixed 99% of the problems everyone was having.
This version was extracted and made available as an OEM to load into a kitchen to build into your ROMs.
There is NO .cab installation that I've seen for this version, so you're stuck with either cooking it in, or just replacing the files (there's a zip floating around here somewhere of the files u need to replace to make it the new version, but I don't recall where I saw it).
The OEM can be found in the excellent new PPCGeeks kitchen (ppckitchen.org), which incidentally supported Titan roms now.
For you DCD fans, it seems he hasn't made his rom compatible with the new kitchen GUI, but its relatively simple to make it a basekit. If enough of you push dcd, he might consider doing it... otherwise, you can always copy the OEM directory into DCD's kitchen OEMs.
Try Dutty's Voice Commander
This works for me, it is the best of both versions I have seen of the voice software. There are a couple versions out there, this is the most recent I have found. It is a cab.
I've got VC almost completely working. I cooked it into the DCD ROM. One reg key needs to be changed to get the button on your headset to work. The part I don't have working is the prompt and confirmation comming to the headset. The prompt and confirmation come out of the phone. It takes commands fine through the headset, just no audio until the call is started. Anyone know how to fix that? I'm using a Jawbone.

No, it doesn't require you to set tags, but provides that as an option. The tags are useful for frequently called numbers as they should reduce errors somewhat.
This version also works properly through my bluetooth headset including confirmations.
-dwdoc
ok, here is what I did to get it working with DCD:
1. Take the voice command folders from ppckitchen and put them in the OEM folder. There are two folders for the newest version
2. Cook your rom
3. Change the button assignment to VC if you want (settings -> buttons)
4. HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand change "path" to "\windows\voicecmd.exe"
5. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway change "BTAGExtModule" to "vcbthag.dll"
Hope that helps you guys!
P.S. On the handset the initial voice prompt beep doesn't work.(the first time you press the button)NOT USING HEADSET
When you dial by the headset the little dial tones come out the handset.
This also lets the phone send ring tones to your headset when it is ringing.
Dishe--thanks for the tip, I googled and found a cab--I have voice command 1.6.17913, and it is a significant improvement over the one I purchased. I can now use my BT headset like I did with my old 6700!! Can anyone confirm this is the most recent build?

I believe it was just a typo and he meant a newer build of 1.6. I have the 1.6.19209 installed from the kitchen and can not seem to get voice dialing to work when I dial by name though. It recognizes the command and will ask me if I want to dial work, home, cell, etc. However, when I confirm it never actually dials. It will work fine if I tell it to just dial a number though. Anyone else experiencing this and know of a fix?

There are 3 olders in the PPCKitchen. Voice Command 1.6 (which is the 1.6.17 version), VoiceCommand (version 1.6.19), and VoiceCommand_Lang_0409 (supports files for 1.6.19). I threw the VoiceCommand_Lang_0409 into the SYS folder in DCD kitchen, and VoiceCommand into the OEM. Cooked with no problems.
Have no issues with VC not dialing a contact.

After you install the ppcgeeks buildos and update, there is a kitchens folder. In there, PPCGeeks_OEM.rar has these folders.
OK guys,
Thanks to all hose who Beta tested the Neon WM6.1 Rom for the NEON.

* Pagepool changed to 8mb
* Removed Diamond Dialer
* Kaiser Tweak
* Diamond USB to PC
* Reg Hack Hide Sim Contacts
* Reg Hack disable security warning

Post #1 updated with new Rom.
thanks!
This worked perfectly with my Telstra HTC Touch dual (Neon) device.
For any other newbies like me, this is all I did-
Took my brand new Telstra Australia Touch Dual.
Installed the Neon Hard-spl here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377260&highlight=neon
Then just installed the rom in this thread. It works great, though i've lost my Office Mobile apps.
I had no sound at all on the first boot, but after reboot (and it does tell you to reboot again) everything was fine.
Thanks! And I look forward to trying your future releases.
woops one issue
An update on my install, I did actually end up having issues where as soon as a call was made or received all sound stopped working (which obviously makes calls a problem)
As per the original post, installing the updated Radio which took me from version .15 to .17 seems to have fixed this problem.
So are you saying that this ROM doesn't have
* video calling
* office apps
* or SOLITAIRE!?
Can they be installed afterwards or anything?
Cheers
jbng
Okay so I freaked a little when the camera stopped working and my guitar tuner wouldn't work, but it turned out I had to update the radio and that fixed both problems. It does seem to be smoother too.
Office apps are there, solitaire is there, but alas no video calling.
Can you get a third party app to do that, or will we have to re-flash the ROM if and when you add the 3G dialer?
I'm getting a bit sick of this hard reset rigmarole - although I am getting much more efficient at it!
Appreciate your work Seth - keep it up. BTW, the ROM update seems to have fixed my 'not waking up from standby' issues.
Cheers
jbng
You can use User Customization, works for me you only have to run it once after the hard reset and all you've configured will be setup. Maybe if Seth is really nice he will include it in his rom the next time so you don't have to run it manually.

The ROM is working great - no lockups at all since installing it.
I seem to have conflicting information about Bluetooth being affected by radio ROMs - what's your opinion? The reason I ask is that my bluetooth range is pretty shocking (it won't even go through one thin wall in the next room) and I was thinking that maybe one of the newer radio roms might improve it.
Will the Niki roms on the radio page work in a Neon? Should 1.65x radios work with your ROMs? The 1.65s there seem to be from a Kaiser.
The other thing I've seen is a HTC-supplied 'bluetooth hotfix' for the TytnII - any opinion on that?
We'll hang out for your video calling CAB/ROM too. Not that I ever really video call, but if someone asks 'can you do video calling?' I want to be able to say that I can... ;-b
Actually that's a thing - if someone video calls ME, will I be able to answer with the current ROM?

I haven´t had much time to play with Radios. I´m using the radio of my post and my bluetooth is fine. The range is excellent, i live on the second floor and i still can get my cars bluetooth out the back in the carpark.
Hey Seth
VIDEO DIALER: didn't work. At all. I installed the cab, soft reset and had no phone dialer whatsoever. I don't mind reflashing the rom if that's what needs to be done - is the rom file on the front page updated with the video dialer? Or if the cab doesn't work will the rom not work too?
RADIO ROMS: it seems that the one you list is the best and latest for the Neon. The Niki ones and the Kaiser ones simply won't load. It's largely irrelevant anyway - because I don't think it's the phones problem...
BLUETOOTH: I faffed around for ages last night doing some tests with my dual and my decrepit old o2 mini (which used to have great bluetooth range) and it seems that the problem may be with the transmit power on my *computer* rather than on the dual. I left my dual next to my laptop at one end of the house, and then went to the other end of the house and did a search with the o2 mini. it found the dual but NOT the computer. I swapped phones and searched with the dual from the other end of the house and the same thing happened. So the phones have good range to each other, but they're both having trouble finding the computer.
I'm just waiting to get my hands on another laptop with bluetooth and then I can see if I need to call the good folk at Dell to replace my bluetooth module perhaps.
I'm also wondering if the laptop has gotten into its head that it's a 1m device instead of a 10m device. It's strange that I've only noticed it since getting my new phone, and now the old phone seems to have limited range too.
Anyways, blah blah blah - please let me know if you get any further with the video dialling in either the rom or the cab - and/or if there's anything you'd like me to test out for you.
Cheers

I'll rebuild this rom and include the video dialer if point one fails.
Cheers
Hey Seth
In the interests of 'giving something back' - here's a handful of splash screens for the diamond and the neon for you to take or leave...
Your 'logo' is supposed to be a square ROM chip but with griddle lines over it (you're a chef, after all). It also happens to be an 'S'.
If you want any further tweaks or raw files let me know.
Cheers

PS. While we're on the subject of splash screens, I get an 'access denied' error when I try to replace the windows mobile startup .png file on your latest Neon ROM. Any ideas why that would be the case? With the previous ROM my file just copied straight over the top.

Hi jbng,
Thanks for the wonderful images. The only program i know that can overwrite system files is Total commander. Just copy the file to your storage card and then use total commander to overwrite.
If that doesn´t work i posting 4 cabs on my latest Neon Rom for who ever wants to use your great artwork.
Regarding the Video dialer i just realized that RV1 has video calling, only the public beta didn´t. Please update your rom to either V1 or V"2.
Thanks
Hi @ll!
I recently released version 1.2 of my latest App "Next2Me" to the US Windows Marketplace.
Next2Me uses GPS and shows you all available businesses around you from over 30 categories. You can view the results on a map, show detailed information. You can also call the target business, send the detail information to your friends by Mail or SMS or save the business to your contact list all by only one click!
And here is the latest BETA version of the upcoming Next2Me 1.3.
[UPDATE]
You can now manually choose between miles and meters. And for all US and Candians, Next2Me is now searching for "Gas stations"
[UPDATE]
I changed the GPS code a bit because some users get an exception on some devices.
[UPDATE]
Again changed the GPS device detection.
[UPDATE 04/25/2010]
o RC1 released
o Next2Me languages: DE, EN, FR, NL
o A menu to tell Next2Me how to search for your GPS device (this will solve several issues, like the exception told by some users and the unwanted bluetooth dialog which is automatically poping up)
[UPDATE 04/27/2010]
o Next2Me now in IT (thanks to Spyrale)
o Beautiful new High-Res Icons for the menu (thanks to Saumaun)
o Limit the search radius (250m, 500m, 1000m, 1500m, all)
[UPDATE 04/28/2010]
o Fixed a language bug for the italian version
[UPDATE 05/01/2010]
o Updated language strings for NL, FR and IT
If there aren't any more suggestions or bugs, this version will be send to the Marketplace
So, have fun with Next2Me and send me your suggestions, critics, etc.
C YA @LL!

Any non-marketplace download
Is this available anywhere besides the MS Marketplace? I don't want to have to install this to my internal memory.
I like the app: http://www.fuzemobility.com/learn-whats-next2me/
Any thoughts of using Google Location instead of GPS to speed things up? also, I don't see a way to email a location- just to SMS. Am I missing it? If it could pull the Google info that would be nice as well (such as type of restaurant, rating, etc). Overall I do like it though. Good luck with the project!
great app so far but sometimes you cant get a gps fix or it can take awhile. would it be possible to use google location or Sleuth's myLocation Service here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=607102. These might work better and they will almost always work and are much quicker than a gps fix.
Looks interesting. But please, could you kindly post it somewhere else than on the Marketplace.
No way I will go to the MarketPlace. I do not want to download any cab on the internal memory.
Thanks

Hi @ll!
I recently released version 1.0 of my latest App "Next2Me" to the Windows Marketplace...
Click to expand...

From what I've seen, this app has a lot of promise, but I have had a problem...
On my Tilt2, whenever I look for something with Next2Me, I get a message "Invalid GPS Signal..." or "No GPS Device found.". But, if I start up Google Maps first, and let it get my GPS position and then start up Next2Me, it works just fine. Any thoughts/suggestions?
Also, if it could toggle between km and miles, it'd help for us Americans who won't join the rest of the world in using km's
One more suggestion for future updates...if we could set the # of hits returned or better yet, if we could specify a 'radius' to search it'd make the app even more user friendly.
Thanks for the work and keep it up

Thanks for your critics and suggestions. So here we go:

Hm, that's a GPS-Problem under Windows. You can use QuickGPS to improve the lock-time, but that doesn't always work.

Yeah, I am already aware of the "km/miles"-Bug ... this will be fixed in the next version, of course.
Your suggestion with the amount of hits returned or the search radius is very good and will be proofed.

Yeah, that would be a solution to use the location service using the Google Location. I can implement support for the myLocation service of Sleuth, but I would prefer to implement the location service into Next2Me, so that there is no need for the user to install another application to use Next2Me. Are there any specifications or source code snippets how to use the Google Location service under Windows Mobile?

Next2Me checks your Mobile Outlook on you cell phone, if there's an E-Mail account available. This e-mail account will be used to send the email with the location service. The button for sending an e-mail will only be shown if there's an email account set up in your Windows Mobile.
Hope this helps!

im using the Next2Me form the first day it has been released in marketplace
i think its 1.0
works great in my hd2
Good to hear that ... I don't know the exact cause of the problem, but strangewise the GPS-Stream is on most of the HD2 different to rest of the world's mobile phones ... and on some not, like yours.

I have a single email account (an ActiveSync/exchange account) and it's not being detected. I've tried it on two ROMs

Not really ... it's currently available as BETA version. You can download it from the first post. Did Next2Me crash with version 1.1 or earlier? I want to test it with as much cell phones as possible, so please write me if you have any errors with Next2Me.
Additional info: Next2Me 1.2 BETA also supports location using the GSM network. So, it also works with cell phones without GPS module.
Love the new version, Fast, nice GUI and great info! Thanks for this very useful app!
LoL I restart the Omnia and now it works good (Version 1.2).
But how can we add content?

What do you mean with that? Do you want to add your own categories and search criterias? This is not possible currently. I am thinking about implementing it, but currently it's not possible. This BETA version is for testing it with as much as possible cell phones, to be sure position detection is working on every phone.

Tested on tmobile touch pro 2 and works very well on cell tower location. Haven't tried on GPS.
However, the result for gas station is way off, reporting station like 700KM away from current location. Other services seem fine.
Besides, is it possible to change units? Or show current gas price?
Working really nice on my HD2 ! Congratulations man
