UPDATE (3/3/10): Version 0.7 Released - Only changes are some registry settings that I missed earlier. With this, both Caller ID Announcements and Voice Dialing should work with this installer.
UPDATE (3/3/10): Version 0.5 Released - See Post 55 for Change Log - Device List below updated ... Updated v0.6 with auto start on device boot attached ... If you are using v0.5 (or v0.5_autostart which I screwed up ... sorry), uninstall it and install the v0.6.
Device List (Updated 3/8/10)
Known Working Devices
HTC Titan
HTC RhodiumW (Touch Pro 2)
HTC Rhodium (Tilt 2)​
NOT Known Working Devices - If anyone uses a device listed here and my app, please let me know if it works.
HTC HD2 - I think this is similar to the TP2 - Should work, but I need someone to confirm this
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 - I have no idea ... Does this device use the WIDCOMM Bluetooth stack? Can someone test the latest app?​
If you install this app, and have problems, uninstall msvcFix and install "revert_msvcFix.cab"
UPDATE (8/11/09): I have fixed the native app (now referred to as v0.3) and attached. I will leave the v0.1 attached as well.
UPDATE (8/10/09): Sorry, but there is something wrong in the native v0.2 ... I have posted the orig v0.1 in the mean time.
Not sure what devices this effects/fixes, but on my Titan, Voice Command incoming caller ID announcements don't work correctly. The work-around I use is ...
To enable caller ID announcements:
Set HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Category to "Ring"
Set HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Category to "_Ring"
Set HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundsCategories\Ring\initVol to 15
To disable caller ID announcements:
Set HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Category to "_Ring"
Set HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Category to "Ring"
Set HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundsCategories\Ring\initVol to 5
I have written a program to address these "fixes". My program checks the MSVC "Announce incoming caller ID" option, and checks to see if bluetooth is paired and headset service is active. If all these checks pass, I set the "enable" registry settings ... If not, set the "disable" registry settings.
Currently, the default interval is 5 seconds. I intend to make the interval a setting in the registry in the next version. Attached is a CAB install for version 0.3. The CAB will install the EXE to \Program Files\dj13241\ and create a shortcut in \Windows\Startup\ (it will auto-run on device boot). Version 0.1 was written in VB .Net, and took up to ~1.5 MB after running for some time. This version (v0.3) was written entirely in native C and compiled with cegcc-mingw32ce-gcc on Linux, and takes up 32 KB! Quite a memory improvement!

Feedback anyone?
Anyone have any feedback on this? Should I spend the time to improve it? Any feature requests? Anything?

Tried it on Tilt 2 and does not work. Caller ID still gets announced thru handset speaker

I am interested in your success...

I think I know what the problem is ... I don't have my earpiece with me to test it though. Are you comfortable using a registry editor? If so, please post the values for the following keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]
"BTAGExtModule" =
"Capability" =
Also, please look in your \Windows\ directory for a file called "vcbthag.dll" ... You will have to check off 'Menu->Show all files' in order to see dll files.
Thank you for the constructive feedback!

I am VERY interested in getting incoming caller ID to announce over BT on my Tilt 2. If you get this, you are officially the ruler of the universe!!!

I'm interested, will give it a try on my HD2

Hi and thanks for all the great info.Please forgive me (newby) to winmo,i installed ms voice commander and installe the Voice Command Announcement Fix and it still wont announnce the caller calling.Has anyone got any insight to the problem.
Thankyou

Sorry, not working on HD2 either

pity.. does not work on xperia x1 either..

I'm on it ...
I have a Touch Pro 2 and with some registry mods (quite a hack job at this point), I got it to the point of announcing Caller ID without playing a ringtone, but it announced from the phone's external speaker and my earpiece played its internal ringer. It looks to me like a timing issue ... VC creates a file \Application Data\Volitle\TTSCallerID.wav which is the caller ID announcement ... I think that the delay involved with creating that file is causing the issue, and by the time the file is created, my earpiece is already ringing with its ringtone.
On another note, my original program is (apparently) dependent on a different Bluetooth stack that the TP2 (which uses the wildcomm stack) ... If anyone knows how to check for a BT headset via native API, I would love to know!
I will be editing the first post when I have some time later tonight ... I will add "known working" and "known not working" phone lists ... Looks like the "not working" list will be longer for now
Thanks for all the feedback so far.

The Tilt 2 also uses the Widcomm BT stack. We've been blaming everything on the Widcomm stack, but I've begun to suspect that the aging MSVC software is really more to blame as it doesn't know how to play nice with newer software. Of course, I remember all of us soundly denouncing MSVC a few years ago about not being very compatible with the MS BT stack either!
I think you are definitely on to something. Yes, the hacks you have may be a bit kludgy but accurate. A suggestion: forget the checks to see if BT enable or not for the time being; leave BT enabled and do all reg changes, etc with the assumption that BT is enabled and connected. Forgive me if that sounds condescending -- I lost all my programming skills about the time Turbo Pascal died, if anyone here even remembers that from the early 80s -- but sometimes an outside view can make a small difference.
Always willing to try any hacks you suggest to see how they work on my stock Tilt 2; feel free to PM fi there's anything I can do to help.

Hi,
I have a TP2 with Stock ROM and have no problems with announcing phone calls, but..
You may already know about the bug when an "unknown caller" calls. VC does three things choosing randomly:
- 1. Does not announce anything, phone does not ring
- 2. does not anonunce anything, phone rings for a sec.
- 3. does announce the LAST CALLER - and this is really annoying, when you think you have a call from a friend or something, and it turns out VC just scammed you badly.
So my question is can you fix at least the 3rd behavior?

Its good to know this info though ... Do you have a BT headset you could try it with? Has anyone else tried with a stock ROM, or is everyone using custom ROMs?
I'm going to dump the stock ROM registry and compare it to what I am running (which is a ROM built from Calkulin's 1.5 Beta Kitchen with a few of my own MODs).

Nope. The device itself gives me enough radiation I don't need more from a bluetooth device

Hello, I as you know also have the TrueNeytral and the charge of battery for usb me works perfectly and in the car also, in the PC it charge me between 210 - 280mA. The only problems are the Russian characters, for the rest it goes very thin. Greetings
Please post installation instructions/link to install info (Must downgrade? etc.)
Thanks, Eladio
To install TRUE follow normal procedure to WM6
That's:
-Downgrade to aku 2.20... If you previously had a WM6 or aku 3.3..
-Activesync 4.5
-Conect prophet via USB in normal status (not necessary to place it in -BOOTMENU)
-Execute upgrade utility (a .bat file)
-Wait no longer than 15'
-Dont touch anything, i recomend turning communications or phone off
-Anything happens in appearence but after pc message in MSDOS, hard reset -must be done.
-Now you are done.
It would be great if a russian speaker could give some info from 4pda.ru forums to change .dll in order to switch language typography in this rom.
Thx dudes

I've installed TrueNeytral a couple hours ago. Registry change of Keyboard is not working for me, but Resco Keyboard yes.
If i change registry of IR my Prophet restarts each time switch on . Original values are '15' (not '14' as you say).
Also some original ring tones (setup/personal/phone) are not recognized as valid wma files.

Hi all.
I've been using TrueNeytral WM6 two days. Actually for me is the best WM6
implementation I've flased to my dear prophet. Things I've used:
-USB, Wallet and car charge, all work fine (car charger required software
reset with cable plugged to works).
-WiFi: I've wireless router to internet, with no problems starting/stopping WiFi.
Windows Live, Google Mail, everything OK. Configuration resists software
resets.
-GPRS: OK, corporate mail (Lotus Notes) working perfect.
-Bluetooth: Stereo Sony HBH DS970, handsfree Jabra bt-150, freedom bt
keyboard, parrot ck 3000, GPS Zaapa. Multiple connections (parrot & GPS)
work, tomtom returns after receiving a call (this is the first ROM to do this)
ActiveSync over BT to my desktop working also (TrueConnect over BT!)
-IR: NoviiRemote working with no tweaks. Changing registry as stated at top
of this thread for IR gets my prophet to shutoff completely when hibernate,
so i cannot use file and vcard transfers over IR, but I think this is a OBEX
problem, because IR port is working for NoviiRemote.
-I have no incompatibility at all. WisBar and SPB Backup is supposed to get
into trouble, but not for me.
-Finally, battery drain is correct. I've been monitoring two days, and
consumes 4-5% at night and 30-35% with normal use; checking once an
hour mail with GPRS and 30-40 min. call.
-Cannot map HW buttons 1 and 2.
It seems to be near RTM...
Thanks for posting this ROM, and of course to the author.
Eladio.

Ah!
Russian Keyb: Install Resco Keyboard and SPB Full Keyboard with dictionary completition. These are apps I use normally.
Contacts: Again Pocket Informant & Pocket Breeze, I don't use standard apps from M$. Pocket Informant traps links to std apps, so 'contacts' is hidden for me.
Dialer: I've installed cabinet from first post, but normally use voice command over bluetooth handsfree to dial.
I'm trying to isolate me from lang/reg issues. The cost is to have to install these apps...
I have come across with a post in a spanish forum where they got rid of russian characters. It has to do with a .dll. i think they succed. I will post the how to ASAP
This one also has the problem of turning itself on constantly with an Exchange account.
One more: cannot control volume of incoming call. It is set to maximum, and volume indicator seems to work but there is no real effect over volume.

WLM not working (Device model name PM320)
No Windows Update

[RELEASE] Tone Manager v0.2 - Set Ringtones based on categories, in priority order

Hi there,
I was looking around for an app to let you choose different ringtones for contacts on a priority basis.
I found something similar by v3patel, but it didn't allow me to prioritise, e.g. a 'personal' ringtone to take precedence over a 'business' ringrone when a contact is in both categories.
....so I made this app. I hope that it might be useful for others too, do as ever let me know of any bug reports or feature requests.
EDIT: If you were testing v0.1, please upgrade to v0.2 for an important bugfix!
Download Link Here - v0.2
This app requires the .net compact framework on your device. For WM6 this comes pre-installed in ROM, others need to download here
Carlos
=====
Instructions
============
1. Choose a category and a ringtone.
2. Click 'Add to list' to add it to the priority list.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you've chosen all your desired categories and ringtones.
4. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to order your list into priority; categories at the top take precedence over categories below them.
5. Click 'Set Now' to make the changes.
Troubleshooting
===============
The app assumes that the ringtones are stored in \Windows\Rings. If this is NOT the case, go to the menu and choose 'Set Folder' to point it to a different location. This setting is currently NOT stored (sorry!) but will be in a future release if I get time!
Further help / support
======================
Please go to www.fatattitude.com/software or post in this thread
cool, will try
Good work....
Hey, great work and a good idea...
will try it also (it's too late to tell someone to call me )
Maybe it could be possible to listen to the ringtones before adding in a future release ? Just as input for you....
what does it mean "choice currently not stored" ? Will the changes be made to the categories, but when you restart your app, you can't see it anymore ? I think it is this way, but i'm not really sure....
Anyway, i like it !
Cheers, Peter
petervbeck said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, it just means that your preferences aren't stored, including where you tell the app to look for the ringtones. Your contacts will be set to the new ringtones you ask for and will stay this way, even after a reset.
nice work. will try today. thx

wm6 should have 2.0 by default. at least on official rom. I believe the bape rom should also have it. Anyway, I will try 2.0 out tonite and report later.

No, please try it out and let us know if possible!
If you just want to test the app, you could always add a contact to a new category, for example, "Test". Then just run the app and assign all contacts in category "Test" to a ringtone. If the contact you changed is successfully updated then the program works for you! If not, no harm done.
Do let us know if you have success.

It is perhaps to do with the recorded version number of your ROM and the settings for my CAB file.
Can you post the exact error message that you are receiving, along with when you are receiving it? Then I can try and help you.
C
It didn't work on my Prophet running WM6.
The program itself works, and assigns the correct ringtone to each category, but when a person calls, the default ringtone that is set in sounds & notification is played instead of the category ringtone assigned.
In each contact's information, the correct ringtone for that category is assigned. But it doesn't play that tone when that person calls.
When I open someone's contact detail and tap the ringtone, the left softkey changes to "play". When I tap that, there's no sound.
However, if I assign that same ringtone manually in the contact details, it plays when I tap "Play"
Hope you understand what I mean...

Thank you - if only all bug reports were that detailed!
Can you confirm that you're running v0.2 of the program? There was a bug in v0.1 that caused this behaviour. (see first post for download link)

Hi carlosp,
Yes, v0.2 works perfectly. Thanx for this app! It really saves us the chore of having to assign a ringtone for each contact individually.
Now, I'm trying to decide if I still need innesoft address book...

No problem - let me know if you have any bug reports or more feature requests. I was thinking perhaps add an 'Any Category' option in the drop down, so that it's possible to unassign ringtones from all contacts in order to clear everything off and start again.
Hi,
something strange happened: I flashed my prophet to Prophet Touch VII ROM (I was on v6 before), and the Tone Manager didn't work.
Ran the program as usual, but after that I got the same problem as described in my post above. The ringtones are assigned to each contact but doesn't play during the incoming call. Exactly the same prob as in v01.
Strange....??? it was working before on my previous ROM....
A request: the folder is not saved but always reverts back to \windows\rings at each opening of the program. I have mine in the SD card... can you make the prog save the SET FOLDER?
Thanx...
EDIT: I re-downloaded the program from your website and re-installed it, and it works! Very strange, maybe the file in my PC got corrupted or something...

Voice Command on the 6800

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?

1.9.19209 is available as an OEM in the PPCGeeks Kitchen, but I don't know if there is a CAB of it anywhere.

I just went through the Kitchen process described above and I get a version number of 1.6.19209. Perhaps just a typo?

The Tip in option.xml for this version says, "Microsoft Voice Command - Latest version from kaiser". No2Chem shows as the author, so maybe he will chime in.

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.

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.

I'll try to make a cab for Video call now that i have figured out how to fix it.
You can always try my new Rom it has video dialing built in.

Thanks for all your work Seth
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?
Cheers mate

See post 1 for the new Video Dialer.
In regards to the radios have a read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369502
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 will do two things tonight.
1 - I'll flash this Rom back on my device, i'm currently using SETHS DIAMOND V2 Build 19214.1.0.4. And i'll try to work out why the Cab doesn't work.
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
jbng
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

[Q] audio identification of incoming call

My old Nokia N95 had a feature that announced via the speaker the name of the person making an incoming call (provided name was in contacts). It was not brilliant and it had difficulty with some names (my friend doug sounded more like dog). However it was a good method of screening calls remotely especially if you are on the top a a ladder! Is this feature available on my HTC HD2 (virgin mobile) ?
New to XDA apologies if this has already been covered
I am sure MS Voice command will do that. You can download the cab from here http://www.energyroms.com/Addons/

jeeem, you will be disappointed to note that there are still bugs reported with MSVC, however you can be glad that it will be announcing the respective incoming caller's names / numbers.
If you havn't installed the .cab yet please note 2 things:
First: during installation, you will be prompted (and WARNED!!!) to install the MSVC on your device instead of the storage card. It actually doesn't matter even if you install it on your storage card instead of device, so install it at your desired location. (I prefer to install it on the card as I am extremely miser to save every bit possible, on the device!!!).
Second: After the installtion, you will be prompted with a WARNING saying the installation was UNsuccessful. This is BUG!!!. Ignore it. Restart and enjoy...

Jeeem, MSVC does work, and as I mentioned in my last post to you, you have to install in accordingly. However as you mentioned in your reply, it seems you are not able to get it done, which to me it appears you might not be having teh APPROPRIATE VERSION or the correct .CAB file. Should you wish, I can mail the correct working cab on your email.
