Would anyone be willing to put any XDA II software they have on CDs or Floppy Disks, or even on a website for me please? I'm willing to pay toward the costs, maybe could run a CD exchange program...fill a CD and I'll send you two blanks back lol
If anyone would be willing to do any of this could you email me on [email protected], leave details here or PM me on forum?
If anyone emailed my AOL email I'm sorry but that email no longer exists, please note new email above.
Thanks alot
Rob
BUMP
Are you looking or software specific to xda2 or any software for pocket pc that ill run on xda2?
IF you give me an FTP site, I would gladly upload you a bunch of PPC warez :lol:
this is not a site which is warez related !
warez lelated sites have p0rn popups all over the place this site
dont, so i cant be a warez site it's as simple as that
lol I don't have an FTP at the moment but will work on it.
I'm looking for any software compatible with the XDA2 basically, it doesn't have to be specific to it, just so long as it works on it

PPC Software
I'm just curious why you would not just do a Google search and download them yourself? I'm sure you are not advocating that people send you free copies of software that they paid their own hard-earned money to buy, so you must be talking about freeware and possibly shareware. Given that, you can just save all of that time waiting for the CDs to arrive and download them yourself!
Just a small tip: get eMule (www.emule-project.net) and search for anything you want (yes anything in this world you'll find it there, and FREE) :lol: :lol: :lol:
If you notice i didnt mention free at any point, in fact i offered to pay towards costs etc. Also, I did initially mean freeware. To be honest, I work long hours and I tend to find sifting through all the software out there looking for something that either works, works the way I want, or is decent; quite time consuming. It's usually evening by the time I get the chance and I was looking to save time, not necessarily money.
And thanks for the tip

it's the same thing as asking about software that is compatible with something like a hp pc
all pc software would work if the os is right
it's the same with a xda2 all software which is compatible with windows ce will work well sure some dont but that is more because of other issues
so all pocketpc software will run on your xda2 since 10000's of programs have been writen for that platform you cant fit it on just 1 cd
I tried to activate Microsoft Reader and can't make it work. It keeps showing a message that said that I need a Pocket PC 2000 or higher. I have a Cingular 8125 with 2.25 ROM and Wolski Tweaks.
Can some one help me read my books on my Wizard?
Thanks

You're missing a file on your PDA: OEMinfo.xml
This file should be in your /Windows directory.
It has something to do with OEM's. They have to provide this file, but they lack to place it on the device. (As it was missing on my i-Mate K-Jam)
If you're missing this file, you can contact MS reader in the US:
[email protected]
Mention your device, and they will send you the correct file.
(But you can also lend it from another device which has the file :wink: )
Thanks for the reply. I contacted MS and asked for a copy of this file but I don't know how fast are they going to answer. Can you send me a copy of this file?
Thanks
Diego
Normally they are pretty fast, within 2 working days.
If they don't, contact me, and I will find one for you.
I am a little reluctant to send a file, because I don't know if that's your device id.
As you might know, you can only register the same device a few times, and if you start using my id...... I might fool myself in the long run. :?
Maybe this can help you temporarily. Convert you LIT, then no need for activaiton.
can anyone tell me from where can i download a file or folder locker for my pda, o2 xda mini.
i would like this also.
pocketrar
u can try pocketrar and use the password function
Re: future proof high end mobo ? suggest me.....
the pocketrar takes hell lots of time in converting in rar and than unpack it, i just want a prog, that provides password protection to my files and folders, so that nobody else than me can open the files. it must be there somewhere for free, as i had seen paid versions of this software.
but we r here to find a free for all software.

**** I'll pay for it. I got stuff that would have me single, homeless and beat to a pulp on my cell phone. What's the name of the program?
Has anyone else noticed that if they have both Co-Pilot, and the anti-virus application - Both supplied with my Ameo.... and soft reset, the phone will go in some strange loop.
Shows the T-Mobile screen, then the Microsoft Push Email, flashes the today screen for less than a second, back to T-Mobile screen... repeat.
Only way I've seen to get round it is safe mode the unit and uninstall the antivirus.
I know most will say why bother with antivirus... but for a sense of security I would prefer it, does anyone else have this problem? Anyone know of any better anti-virus software? Or a fix for this one?
Cheers
I agree with you that anti-virus software of a good practice. I'm also keen in looking for a good one.
However, I experience what you described when evaluating the spb tips and spb mobile shell. I had to do a safe mode reset too.

I don't tend to use SPB Tips, want to have Mobile Shell, had that on my Compact III and thought it was great, but heard people on here reporting incompatibility with Ameo regarding speaker issues so going to wait until the next release...
Or have you got it working well?

If you can pick up a lot of virus' simply by surfin on the internet with the pop up etc, why can you not pick them up when viewing them on an alternate device?
You will soon have no choice but to add anti-virus to your list of essential applications for the phone. Trust me on this.
I have to agree. There was a time the PocketPC was safe, unless you download warez there was no chance of being infected. Even then it was rare.
Its seems that the success of HTC and the windows mobile phones puts them in the windows desktop attack bracket. Now there are so many, and they are all getting data connections its worth attacking them.
Sorry to say it, but while AV on ppc at the moment is dubious, it will soon be required.
I dont know why WM6 doesnt have DEP (data execution protection) etc like vista. They could make it much more secure but havent bothered.
btw, itxda, sounds like your making a threat there! lol. Your not writing a virus are you?
Consideration 1.
A virus need to be programmed for the machine and OS you need want to infect. Can someone tell me a reported case of a virus programmed for Windows Mobile? Please don't report what Symantec or Panda said about it... I mean a real case reported by some user. None.
Consideration 2.
Virus propagation. The way to propagate a virus is into excutable code (this means EXE files) or finding a way to introduce and executable code in a non-executable file, like a .zip file. Then you need to spread that infected code. How in a PDA? Exchanging files? A few exchange of EXE is done in PDA. Thru the network? Cmon... there is a few opportunities for a PDA virus to exist and a few to spread.
Consideration 3.
Don't get confused. Having PocketPC IE doesn't mean that you are on risk of the troyans or virus or even spyware that IE for Windows XP has. First of all because the code to be executed on a PC is not executable in a PPC and second that the target APIs and files in a PC are not in a PPC.
Consideration 4.
Please don't mention Bluetooth virus. The ones existing (if any) are for Symbian and even in Symbian world there are so many incompatible versions of symbian that a given virus has real troubles to spread in the network.
SO...
If I question the fact of someone coding virus for this particular machine and OS, and I question the regular ways of spreading virus, and I question the network and IE risks... What's left? The marketing interest of anti-virus makers.
All this applies to anti-virus programs for Apple Mac, Linux of all kind, symbian phones... and phones in general.
Motorola got a lot of market share in USA... doesn't someone ever in USA got a virus on a Motorola? Never ever. Same for PocketPC. Trust me.

Thanks for your post, very imformative.
You've converted me,,, for now.
But at the end of the day, what I think sells the software is the fact that it gives the end-user peace of mind.
You can tell people that they don't need something, don't have to do something until you're blue in the face and with all the facts in the world. But there will still be a large number of people that will want it anyway, just for peace of mind...
Also.... can anyone tell me have they had the problems that I had on post #1 :-D ... I've hard reset and installed but still get the problem, without the antivirus installed....
I think it's now looking to be the fault of SPB software, has anyone discovered a fix?
The main purpose of AV software on PPC devices is to scan synched email; if you get email on your Athena, then plug into Outlook, it may (theoretically) pass a virus on.
You know we tend to do quite a bit of testing out new and interesting applications downloaded free. Could'nt a virus be disguised as a free applications and when we run the CAB, confidential info will just simply be extracted, or registry item be manipulated etc?

Now that's a well thought out statement and question.
As easy as it is to develop applications on the Windows Mobile platform, it's only a matter of time before we start seeing serious viruses and trojans. There are a few out there already but aren't wide spread yet. As on any system, if you open attachments via e-mail or download from the Internet, it's only going to be a matter of time. Time is coming soon. Trust me on this point. Not everyone will be hit but it'll make a mark.
What about writing a virus that can infect your phone, sms your info and GPS coordinates to someone? ;-)
Viruses aren't difficult at all to write. On any platform, Wintel/Linux/Mac/etc.
When one of the scriptkiddies determines that he's been bored all week because he's home for summer vacation and looks over at daddies cell phone....one of them will wonder..."how fast can I propogate a virus throughout cell phones".
Not an if it happens just a when. Let's just be patient and we'll be hearing about the first infections in no time at all.
Heck, someone on this forum could one day write something that infects everyone. You never know.
Hmmm I see what all of you meant but remember the key is "coding a virus for a given machine and OS"... If you don't code the virus that way will not affect the PDA.
Talking about virus I remember the slogan of the New York Mafia: "First we created the need of having protection... them we sell it". (just a joke don't flame... people).

People have been saying "it's coming soon" for years. It has always been easy to program for the Windows Mobile platform, but that hasn't changed the fact that it has now been seven (or five, depending on how you count) years without a virus on Windows Mobile.
Let's hope that people are smart enough to keep it that way. Virus programmers need to get their heads checked...

LOL, agreed.
Kids don't always think logically. We have all done stupid things in our youth. That tradition will never die.
I think this is a useful thread, but not sure it answered the original question, so can I re-state and add?
1. Is the included F-Secure a/v programme the best one for the job?
2. Is it worth-while paying to keep it updated?
Many thanks

I have recently installed dcd 2.10 ROM 6.1wm. Since GPS is active now I wanted to try TomTom to see how it works with Mogul. I followed direction and ended up on error where TT say '' No Maps Found ''. I have extensively search this topic across the web, and there are tons of solution recommended to fix this issue. I have tried all of them including uninstalling opera and to move files all over the folders but no luck so far.
However most recommended and most reported working fix is to disable BT explorer. and pretty much everyone recommended to uncheck box in FTP tab from bluetooth setting. but mogul user's problem is... there is no FTP tab.
So here is what I am asking:
1: has anyone sucessfully got TomTom Navigator 6 working on Mogul / Titan with Sprint / DCD windowmobile 6.1 wm6.1 ROM. If so would would care to share your how tos.
2: Does anyone know how to disable BT explorer in Mogul where there is no FTP tab. Perhaps registry setting. Some user has posted working registry setting to disable it but it is for Dell Axim with wm5 and does not apply to Titan (setting does not exist in mogul).
Let me know if you need more info
Looks like you have acquired an illegal copy of TomTom 6.
Xda-developers do not endorse these kinds of illegal activities.
Nonetheless, plz check your pm
I use tomtom6 on my mogul. It works perfectly. The error you are getting is because you probably downloaded the software WITHOUT the maps. The maps for North America alone are just over 1gb. Try actually buying the software and it will work just fine.
I think its hilarious that you went around disabling bluetooth and uninstalling Opera, in order to get your TomTom program to find maps, LOL. As said previously, try buying the software. And if you are going to pirate it, don't trouble others with your problems if you can't figure out how to get it working, even if you are going to bring a bit of levity with your HILARIOUS failed solutions to the forum.
This from peeps who unlock their phones and put cooked roms on it. Now thats funny I don't care who you are...

the reason this is happening to you is because there is a .dat file that tomtom looks for when starting up to point to the map location...it has NOTHING to do with whether youve pirated it or not. this file is/must be located at My Documents/TomTom/CurrentMap.dat. all you need in that file is the directory path to your map. in my case its /Storage Card/USA....(etc, etc) also, the directory slashes are the other way, but im typing this on my mogul and im too lazy to fat-finger the on screen keyboard
also, and this one might be the biggie...your map folder MUST be in the root of your storage card, not nestled within another folder, or a tomtom folder which is what I initially did.

Actually there is no difference. The phones were locked by the providers for a reason. You are cracking their security encryption to gain access to features that were unavailable. With hacked software you are cracking security encryption to gain features that were not available before also. The price you paid for the phone really deosn't matter. With this theory the people that buy their DSS satelite boxes and hack Dishnetork ird's to receive a priated signal are ok because they bought the ird. You and I both know this to be untrue. With all that said I don't believe that you should use hacked software either, I just think that some take a high and mighty stance when a simple "We don't condone or discuss warez here" would be all that is needed. I guess your threshold for crossing the line is the only thing in question here, and we all know why most peeps come to these sights.
Whhhhaaattt!!!!!!!

I for one use this site as an educational tool. So do many other forum members. If you think that we are all "peepers", what are you doing here?
I know for a fact that the programmers from HTC, Moto, LG, etc as well as the major carriers are members of this site directly or by proxy - how do you think they find out where their weaknesses are? How do you think they make their products better? Warez is not my thing but who are you to say????
So please, get off your pedestal and "Peep" your horn somewhere else, maybe at www.Disneyland.com

Hello,
Still not work, "No Maps found!"
I created a file called CurrentMap.dat that contains my path directory \SDMMC\Calimap and put it in the My Documents\TomTom\ folder. I also had the Calimap folder at the MicroSD card root, which as SDMMC. I don't know what I did wrong.
Can you check your script file CurrentMap.dat for the correct path? Thanks in advance.
ok first off do you actually have maps loaded on your SD card? all i had to do it put the maps on the SD card and TomTom found them right away. (on mine the storage card has a folder called north_america675, in that folder is all the map data)
if you did happen to pirate the software well you should buy it, but if you are content stealing then what you probably did was just download TomTom -- the maps are sperate, about a 1.5GB download, which you would need to put on your card... again if you pirating and you did put the maps on there, i would then guess that you didn't put the patched EXE on your device which allows you to use maps without activation.

again i think you are wrong... we aren't gaining access to services that we would normally have to pay for... cracking a dish reciever means you are stealing a service that you would normally pay for. for me at least putting new roms on here is to get GPS, and play around with the phone a bit. I'm not getting any service that i wouldn't normally get, or isn't built into the phone. so i see a big differance. but i digress, because really it doesn't matter either way since we won't change each other's minds.

so, your storage card is actually called SDMMC in file explorer?
Also, I think it might be necessary to have the map folder named exactly the same as the map's specific name. I doubt that 'Callimap' is the name of the map, but it might be. I'm not totally sure on this one though, I just know that I was fumbling for a bit to get it out to the root folder. I remember renaming the folder to EXACTLY what the map name was, just to be sure. This could have been the golden ticket and I wasn't even aware at the time. Try that too and see if it helps.

I tried it and still did not work. It must be the activiation code for the map. Even though we put the map at the right location, TomTom would still not load if not correctly activated.
Last rant and I will let this go as I usually just lurk and am content to read and learn (note my post count).
My original point was that instead of popping off about buying the software and not stealing it, one could as alot do just post nothing or a simple we don't condone warez here. If as some do, you put a rom that was not manufactured for your phone (ie an alltel rom on the sprint mogul) because you like the features better, I am sure that that is a form of stealing as the rom was built for alltel phones not sprint carrier phones. By unlocking the phone you have basically cracked it. This debate is the same as the one about taking a pen from work. It is still stealing just not the same as takng $1000.00 out of the safe (installing a $150.00 cracked software). But it is stealing all the same, it is just the degree to which we allow ourselves to think it is ok.
As the post above states the carriers come here to find weakness and to make thier products better. This statement implies that the carriers would want to stop these types of activites or it would not be called a weakness.
I have learned massive amounts of knowledge from this and other sites and also like to tweak my phone ( I use freeware or purchase the programs ) and will contiue to read as I like learning the ins and outs of electronics. I just think that sometimes people are quick to see the speck of sawdust in anothers eye and completely miss the 2X4 hanging out of their own.
end rant.....
the only other thing i can think of is try to use TomTom Home to transfer the maps. it's free and can be found here:

The only way you are breaking any rules is if you break your warranty and try to return the phone. I bought this phone and it is mine. If it doesn't work, I now am responsible. I cannot be arrested for modding my phone, but I am voiding my warranty.
P.S. I am not breaking the law by modding my viewsat either, its only when I connect to the 1200 channels do I bend it a little.

I like your mode of thinking of "bending it a little"
on my install the map folder needs to be in the root of the SD card, and the name of the map folder is:
USA and Canada 675_1409
Don't know if this helps or not but worth a try
