hello!
i am looking for an usb2vga-adapter with drivers for wm6.5, because i like to connect my tg01 to a tft-display via the usb-host-cable. i know that it is possible with android-phones like the nexus one, look at:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694427
i was able to find only one usb2vga-adapter which supports win ce:
startech.com/Data/ProductManuals/USB2VGAE.pdf
unfortunately this startech-adapter isn't available in europe, so i cannot test it on my tg01...
maybe someone has a usb2vga-adapter and can connect it to the tg01? maybe it works with the usb2vgae-driver? you can download this driver from startech.com, it is the trigger.cab-file
thanx for any helpful information, alex
I read that you have already asked to the developer for Tg01 use:
Q: is it possible to use this on a windows-mobile phone with usb-host-function like the tg01? i am desperately looking for a usb2vga-adapter which works with Wm6.5...
A: You'd have to port libtubecable.
What the hell is a libtubcable? Please keep on asking to this guy , it sounds VERY interesting. One of the TG01 limitations is the missing TV out: But this would be even better!!!.
Good luck! I mark this thread with five stars
I've just browsed your link to a USB to VGA device. The only one with Windows CE drivers is (was) this one:

".....USB2VGAE differs from other USB to VGA adapters because it is compact and offers Windows CE support for custom or embedded applications..."
But unfortunately it seems that it has been discontinued. And....Oh oh... the new one doesn't have this feature.....bad news...
http://www.startech.com/item/USB2VGAE2-USB-VGA-External-Multi-Monitor-Video-Adapter.aspx
"...OS Compatibility Windows 2000/ XP(32/64bit)/ Vista(32/64bit)/ 7(32/64bit); Drivers are WHQL certified ..."
I'm going to ask them for Windows CE drivers for the new one. OK? Stay tuned...
yes, unfortunately the new adapter from startech doesn't support windows ce and the old one isn't avalaible in europe.
thank you very much that you ask them for windows ce drivers!
and what is about the idea to create a driver for windows mobile, like someone has done for his android-phone nexus one: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694427
i am afraid that it is easier to create drivers for android than for windows mobile, isn't it?
thanx, alex

I've just received the answer which confirms the previously said:
Dear Pere:
Thank you for your inquiry! Unfortunately the USB2VGAE2 no longer supports Windows CE. The new model has been enhanced to support Windows 7 and the Aero Theme.
If you have any further questions, please contact us.

Damn!
Received from other feasible supplier:
Bernie Thompson, an employee of Plugable Technology, replied to What about Windows CE drivers?, a question about Plugable Technology.
Hi - Thanks for your question! Unfortunately, there is no support for Windows CE for any of the DisplayLink-based products.
A little more detail: There are open source drivers for DisplayLink chips and Plugable's devices on Linux and BSD - which is why there is action happening on Android phones right now. And there have been people who have looked at WinCE in the past -- so it's certainly possible someone could go and develop some kind of Win CE drivers. But the Windows CE market, as big as it is, is not big enough to support the very significant initial and ongoing cost of a maintaining a working driver, especially a USB graphics driver running on varied platforms.
If there was a Windows CE company (Microsoft, or one of its OEMs) who could justify a multi-$100K investment spread over several years, that would likely make it possible to find someone to do this kind of work. Or Microsoft certainly could do the work themselves. But neither scenario seems likely at this point, unfortunately. Sorry.
Thank you for the question, though!
onlineshops which sell the usb2vgae-adapter
today i found out that there are shops which sell the usb2vgae-adapter, it is called "manhattan usb to svga-converter":
zapsonline.com/vga-inter/40404-manhattan-usb-to-svga-converter-es179119.html
quite the same adapter, but according to the description without wince-support is available here:
conrad-international.com/USB-to-VGA-Converter-'Manhattan'.htm?websale7=conrad-int&pi=871540&ci=SHOP_AREA_17695_0414053
(please add "www.", i am not allowed to post URLs...)
is there someone who will order the adapter and try it with the tg01?
i already tried this one but unfortunately it did not work:
conrad.at/ce/de/product/871540/MANHATTEN-USB-AUF-VGA-KONVERTER
the tg01 only told me: "new usb-hardware found, please type in the name of the driver", although i installed the trigger.cab-driverfile from startech-website first. it told me after the installation: "installation successful. the software you installed was created for a previous version of windows mobile and my not function properly". do i have to install wince on my tg01 to test this adapter or what?
spectec micro-sd-to-vga-adapter
will this work with the tg01?:
pocketnow.com/how-to/htc-touch-pro-fuze-users-how-to-get-tv-out-for-3
if not, i found this:
mobiliparts.com/en/toshiba/tg01/carte-microsd-sortie-video-sdv-842-de-spectec
it is a vga-out-adapter for the micro-sd-slot. spectec also provides drivers for wm6.
will this work with the tg01? does the tg01-micro-sd-slot support SDIO-protocol?
amazon sell it for only 39 dollars:
amazon.com/Spectec-SDV-842-Video-microSD-Card/dp/B000MWH0FE
here i found a review:
pocketpc.ch/hardware-zubehoer/37847-minisd-video-out-card-sdv-841-a.html
the problem is that i am on holidays from 15.07.2010 until 15.08.2010, so i cannot test it on myself.
kind regards, alex

How will you ever connect them?
hello,
i think that the old usb2vgae should work, maybe with a little modification of the driver.
the microsd 2 vga may cause a problem because its location is under the battery.
the redfly is an other solution that is working. i saw some video on youtube with the t01a.
finally a good solution will be if the developement under android and unbuntu is sucessfull. Indeed on nexus one and hd2 some drivers exist for usb2vga adapter when unbuntu is loaded.

Experiments to date suggest that the uUSB port is not configured to output a video capable data stream, but I'm very interested in any specifics you can suggest ?

Yes - in principle the uSD approach should be capable of working but the physical configuration means it is impossible to fit the adapter to a TG01. One possibility I have considered is to make an extension adapter allowing the SD port to be brought out to a more accessible location. However this means you then cannot use the memory card at the same time which makes the whole thing too cumbersome.

You can search on Youtube page "redfly".There are some videos there. The idea is original (a big 7" screen and a full keyboard together)but regarding video out it seems that is ok for static image (pictures, power point and so on, but real video doesn't work.

Thanks for that Pere... I've had a look at a couple of those videos now and can see what it's about. Appears very similar in practice to the Pocket Controller Pro desktop application I use for remote control of the pocket pc over USB. But with benefit of upward scaleability for some WM apps onto the Redfly 'netbook' type device.
Unfortunately, I suspect will be fundamentally limited in the same way as Pocket Controller Pro in that it can't push enough data to run a live video feed - PCP is absolutely fine for static screen images and something like a photo viewer slide show but can't cope with displaying any video from eg. Core Player. The app itself shows OK, but the video window just appears as a black rectangle within it.
A real shame, but so far, the nearest likely possibility is that uSD adapter a few posts back, if there could be a way of overcoming the physical connection issues.

Yes Kevin, I'm also a user of Pocket Controller (by Wifi, I have Activesync problems with TG01...) and I suppose that Redfly is a kind of similar application.
It's a pity that TG01 does' have VGA or at least video out....

Hello everyone! We have some great news regarding Saturn Liberty™ Desktop Mobile.
Over the past few months we have been getting newer bigger and better screens on mobile devices and the old VGA version was not big enough. So after you told us that the application was not working fine, we started the development of the Wide Touchscreen Version, some beta versions were sent, feedback was received and bugs were fixed.
So today we announce the release of the final version of Saturn Liberty™ Desktop Mobile for Wide Touchscreen Devices (WVGA).
We hope you enjoy this new version specially made for those amazing wide screen devices such as the HTC Touch Pro 2, HTC Diamond 2, HTC HD2 and many others.
We also want to remind you that the Saturn Liberty™ Accounts let you access to almost all the benefits from Saturn Liberty™ Desktop if you don’t want to install the application.
You can get your copy of the software at http://mobile.ardcorp.tv using your mobile device.

Links don't work for me so I googled it and their website wouldn't load properly either. I'll try it if I can.
Was able to install.
All the software does is embed PIE and give you access to the services via IE (at least, from what I saw).
It's the equivalent of storing two favorites in your IE favorite directory.
Unless it does something else, I would avoid installing it.

Mostly performance upgrades.
Like enable a faster Internet History Cleaner, speed up the graphics by enable 2Mb on cache, adding missing codec’s or updating the existing codec’s.
And thanks to the Microsoft. Net Compact Framework the whole operating system will be more stable and in some cases more responsive.

Somehow I doubt that. But whatever makes you get software on devices I guess...
The FTP is password protected...
So what exactly does this application do? The website seems to claim you can listen to radio and watch tv but you are claiming it enhances your ppc. This is all quite confusing...

"Saturn Liberty™ Desktop Mobile Edition Is the version of Saturn Liberty™ Desktop that enables mobile devices to enjoy a faster , simple way to enjoy all the Saturn Liberty™ powered High Definition Radio, and Digital TV Channels.
With Saturn Liberty™ Desktop you only need tree clicks to enjoy your favorite station."
But as any other ARD Corp product we add fixes to the Windows OS and twakes to it will work faster, with our app and overal system
Thats why we recomend installing all the updates and software
Also Liberty Desktop will (once HDTV , DTV and Mobile TV hit the final release) give you more stations/channels that wont be on the website
like some DTV from Fox or Discovery
those are channels for Liberty Desktop Users.
Now as for the fixes on the PPC it will load alilbit more faster and apps that the program uses
Like IE and WMP will run faster because we twake them to work faster so our services will be faster.
Sounds pretty weird. Maybe you could explain a bit what you're tweaking exactly (without giving technical details if you don't want to), as I guess no one wants to be the first to try such an obscur stuff
Caution advised
I'd be very sceptical about installing such an app on my PPC. The site doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that this is a legit product, and you may find it is spyware. If that isn't the case then I apologise, but without an actual feature list...
+1 Sounds like Spyware or even mobile Virus warez....I would probably steer clear. Use ORB or a slingbox for your mobile tv, music and stuff.
lol!
this has been posted a couple of
times now...server is always offline or unavailable. this guy claims to work for this company but never gives any details. i advise everyone to leave
this well alone i dont trust it and i
dont trust him. updates my rom?
this is some sort of bull or

I have written an app called TouchRC to enable me to control my windows media center (vista and windows 7) from my phone.
Download link and screenshots can be found on the codeplex site here.
I will try and pad this post out a bit more as soon as i get decent amount of time to do it!

i cant get the wmcontroller app to work in WIndows 7 RC'
does anyone knows what to do
I tried to get this potentially great software to work with Vista Premium incl. TV Pack but whenever I start VMC I get an error message 'can't load...' :-(
Any help is most welcome.
what are the limitations of this software, evorgevol?
specifically the following 4:
- what type of connection(s) does it use to connect to VMC/w7MC (wifi only, or bt optional)?
- is it intelligent enough to work with VMC plugin's? (my movies, MCEweather, daemon tools etc)
- is this a complete replacement for an MCE remote - ie, could i remove the IR-transmitter/reciever?
- is it intelligent enough to realise what menu it is in, and filter out un-used options (ie: 'channel change' and 'record' would be removed if in pictures/dvd area)?

It connects over TCP/IP, so it would have to be connected to your local area network.
This is only really a simple program that interacts with the VmcContoller application, so can only do reasonably basic stuff. I have added functionality to so that it can use the MyMovies application metadata, though most of this is still in progress.
It depends on what you use your remote for as to whether this can be a complete replacement. I currently dont have, and have no intentions in the near future of, having a number/keyboard pad. So if you use these a lot, then it probably won't be a full replacement.
I had planned to make the now playing screen a bit more wise about what type of media is playing, and display different icons accordingly, but this has been marked as more a of a 'nice to have' in the application which i might work on in the future, but have other things I'd rather get working first.
Hope that answers some of your queries...
evorgevol
indeed they all are 'nice-ities', and it wont stop me considering playing with your app.
thanks for answers
Unfortunately, the media center network controller software can not be installed on a Vista X64 pc. I would really like to use this app on my mobile device!
Regards,
André
Man this is absolutely awesome!!!
I don't have a MS MediaCenter solution but MythTV, so I wanted to do the same app like you did but for MythTV quite a while.... I already gave up in searching a usable GUI framework like your Fluidity and started writing my own (Which took basically up all my time so far - that's why there is not even an app yet ... But your solution kicks the living sh**t out my little approach.
Is it ok if I borrow up the framework and perhaps some junks of code from your app??? I don't think I'd get it done better if I would try myself, so it would be nice if I wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel. I will of course list you in the credits page of the app.
I spend some hours browsing through your code and I think I got almost through in understanding how the controls basically work. The only thing I miss is the complete overview of how the binding to the actual data is done. The idea with the Templates for the single Items is pretty neat and makes it extremly flexible!

Thanks for reminding me... I forgot to give the original author credit!!! The control framework I use on TouchRC is called Fluid controls, and it's on codeplex here.
I will update my codeplex to give him the credit he deserves, I certainly wouldnt have been able to do any of my app without it!!
Just for thought though, if you create a TCP/IP server for your app, and use the same receive commands as VmcController, then you should just be able to use my app entirely! Or, if you do make it different, and you want me to, I can add your commands to my app too, so that the user would be able to control both windows and myth from the same application!

Can you load up the http server for vmc? (ie, on a diff computer, go to http://hostpc:40510) and see if that works? if it doesn't, then it probably means that VmcController isn't working properly. If this is the case, then revert to the codeplex site of VmcController to ask for help.

Ah, I saw the codeplex page but I somehow thought you guys were the same
Thanks a lot for the offer, but I plan to build a 'richer' remote client for MythTV. Means, besides a remote control function I want to be able to browse the Program Guide, Recordings, Movies, Music, Pictures on the phone and select them to play on the PC/TV.
And I have some other ideas which would be pretty neat, but for now I am already happy if I get the above items finished. (technically thats usually no prob, but once you solved all the tiny little problems and know how to code the whole thing it often gets boring )

Hey evorgevol,

I now have the basic server + client API done so far for my project. I hope I'll reach the alpha state up to your level within the next 1 or 2 months... Then it should really go quick...

I've been stupidly busy recently, so haven't had any chance to work on it for a while. I'm hoping that will change next month. I have made some minor updates to it (but not checked it in), but won't be making another release for a couple of weeks yet. Hopefully soon though!!! How's yours coming along?

FAQ

NaviComputer website.
This program looks great!
Will there be any prepackaged maps for download? For Example, Canada, New York, London, Paris, France?
Great Tool, I like it really.
But some time the PC-Tool crash. After the next crash I will post the message.
@Maedhros
I think this is not easy, because the file for a whole country with every zoom level is a fat file (many GB great).
@NaviComputer
A great feature is a map update over the Smartphone (3G, WLAN, ...), or a auto download for missing tiles.
looks finger friendly... thanks for this
crash all the time...
Unfortunately the desktop software doesn't even want to start on Windows 7 x64:-( The process starts up, but UI never shows up:-(
P.S. Be careful with Google maps, caching their maps is against user agreement. Microsoft, however, allows it to some extend (though you have to get a Virtual Earth dev. license).
Very nice job, thanks for the hard work!
Hi,
here idea for a new feature.
A merge feature for the PC-Tool. So it is easy to download some segments and merge to one layer. I think this is not a great problem for the sqlite-DB that you are using as single file store, or?

I have downloaded maps of several European cities such as Rome, Valencia, Hamburg, Cannes,... all about 5-10MB. I usually use zoomlevels 10-15 for cities. Anyway, downloading your own maps only takes a few minutes (if you have broadband internet connection)
But some time the PC-Tool crash. After the next crash I will post the message.

Can anybody confirm this? Unfortunatelly I don't have Windows 7 to test it.

Thanks for that hint. Should I stop offering the PC Tool for download here? What else can I do to eliminate my responsibilty?

Thanks for that idea. Indeed I will put that on my todo list. The PC Tool will need some work to be done anyway (also stability issues ...)
'NO dataplan needed'
That sounds great!
Will try.
THanks
The PC Tool isn't working on x64 Windows 7 installations. As mentioned before the process starts but somehow fails to initialize the user interface.
Thanks
Same as Terracrosser but according to the description and comments looks WAY BETTER and maybe even faster to download the maps. Good work
issues with x64 Windows 7 installations
The PC Tool isn't working on x64 Windows 7 installations. The UI never showed up and the CPU goes 100%. Otherwise the concept looks great.
I can confirm the win7 x64 problem tried running with all admin rights on and in xp and vista compatability modes. always uses 13% of my corei7 920 and about 28Meg ram.
I can also confirm the problem with Windows 7 x64 - the process starts, no program UI loads, and the navimapper process loads a single core to maximum.
A Help file will be great.
Nice looking application....
BUT..............
On my XDA orbit (QVGA wm6.1) the buttons look a little squashed... Also so few options!!!! would love to seem more, such as the ability to change coordinates to a user one or distance from Kilometers to miles and vice versa. And may be the ability to specify the gps port.
Also the pc app is a little slow and the PPC apps doesn't see the maps when downloaded and transfered to device(for me at least)

Lohtse

Please ad support to WQVGA
Ok guys, I will try to fix this Windows 7 issue. I hope I will find the problem (without actually having Win7)

Sorry, up to now there is no QVGA support. Maybe I'll add that in future but since I do only have VGA/WVGA devices I need more people to motivate me adding QVGA
More options will definately be added. Please notice this is first release version 0.5...
A Help file will be great.

I'm going to add some FAQ here... Is there anything special which would like to be explained? I thought the PPC software is pretty much self explaining, however the map download procedure needs some more explanation. What do you think?

great and nice apps !
but this isn't totally ok on my i900 (240x400) with WM 6.1 in french... even if installed in main memory.
And I do not speak about the fonts which are unreadable, but a folder problem (see attachments).
Keep on good job !

Thank you for testing and replying!
Insha Allah, the problems will be solved soon. I just wanted to ask a thing - Do you have a memory card in your phone?
yes I have one. But the problem is still here if I remove it (tested so). May be the language ?
Warning !
I'm behind a good proxy at work, and when i tried to connect to the website, this message popped up :
MALWARE_GENERAL, BLOCK-MALWARE, (...), http://www.teamfluxion.co.cc/)
I'm working in computers, so security in a big concern for me... This is why i'm 'killing the good mood' here
So connect to this webiste at your own risks... You've been warned
I just tried the XP app... love it, but I found a bug.
If I start Opera and exit it, upon returning to XP, it comes back as Portrait rather than landscape and you have to exit the application in order to get back to normal.
A side note, the screen sensitivity could use some tweaking (make it a bit more sensitive). And maybe larger icons (lower screen density) would make it a bit more finger friendly.
Good job otherwise!!
Edit: I made an article for this thread, which will go live shortly... you will get more feedback now
Thanks.
THX for your work. I'm having a german rom and the XP mode has some problems with it. It crashes while starting because it's searching this path/hile:
\Storage Card\Program Files\XP Modification for Packet PCs\Sounds\Startup.bik
I installed it to my internal storage, not the SD-Card. Also in german it must be:
\Speicherkarte\Programme\....
or the internal program files path:
\Programme\...
Hoping for a fix

Loads alright on HD2 and looks and sounds like the real deal. However, are the icons on the XP home screen supposed to work?? Can access my documents, etc by pressing on Start then navigating thru the submenus but not directly from the XP home screen. Nice start though
great work on the xp mod thing, but it needs a lot of work still
keep going.

it is worth to try, bause i am working with a lot of IPcam stuff for hospitals on child stations. Will report back here.
I was looking for something like this a while back, will give it a try as it should save taking a web-cam away on business.
Will try out and let you know. First thing, would prefer cab install option if possible I know there are client drivers needed for windows side too I guess).
Noticed that the video overlay for the camera does not go when the program is closed. So far I've not been able to connect, but this is probably due to my network config at the moment (so will retry later).
I remember using this looong ago when I had my HTC Mogul... those were the days
how do i connect this to my server? i have set the ip adress and it cannot connect

I think you connect via the webcam driver settings. i.e. VLC
Media -> Open Capture Device
Select Video device name - it should be in the list
Configure - Will open if the device is present and you should be able to press connect. You might see it pop up a message on your device when you do (too quick to read - i guess connecting etc).
Hopefully you'll get the images coming through (I get coloured striped display but that is probably due to the network I'm currently on has proxies etc).
I tried to use it on my HTC HD2 running Artemis 58 with radio 2.15......
I cannot seem to connect it to my computer via WiFi. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I've had success using it previously on my Blackjack II (WinMo 6.0). And I've tried to run it on my hTc Pure (WinMo 6.5), but it keeps freezing up.
so it is now pay ware so far we can see. For this there is a special forum thread. Possible the admin can move it to there...
But there is the other solution from rc colonel - RC Camera (Link). I working with that a very long time.

I use it a very long time now for parents who's childs are in a hospital. We have installed some axis ptz cams (4x) in a hospital near my home city (~ 20 KM). We advise this to the parents for the mobile device or via a website on the PC. I have informed rccolonel some time ago to have a special version, but i think he is no longer online or busy with android. So i hope he will read this .
BTW:
in my free time i am working in a special community for this kind of stuff (paper, color pens, toys, hospital clowns, and...and...and...).
BTW 2:
follow this link and you can download the latest beta from rc camera

rc-camera differs to this app since it's for using an ip-camera and the phone as a monitor, where this one attempts to use the phone's camera as the web-cam. I like the idea, but so far it doesn't work the way I've tried it (clearly it's not trivial thing to code).
BTW:
Well (to be slightly off topic here) I'll let you know if I get on with an Android app I have planned which will be suitable for children reading, might end up being of use. Can't get a better cause than that to be involved with!
cant seem to get it working
i installed the cab and that automatically installed it on my phone (omnia i900) when i open the app on my phone it displays the camera, but when i tap the "start" button it kinda freezes, the little rotating icon ippear and its like "thinking" but it never really conects, right now am using "mobiola web camera" and it does work but i dont like the output quality of it, the resolution and quality es too low, so i tought id try this put, but nope, nothing.
