Game: Transport tycoon on the wizard - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hi everyone,
I have a MDA Vario and have been trying to get Transport Tycoon to work on it, i've almost got it by downloading a version for the XDA Exec but can't seem to get the resolution right.
Does anyone here know how to do it, or even better have a working version they may be able to send me...!
Thanks for the help.

Free version here http://www.esoftinteractive.com/openttd.html
looks like you need some original files from win\dos version of TT

Hiya,
Thanks for that, i've got that version and i've got it working, but i can get it to resize on the my Vario's screen, any ideas?

Reading the instructions the res is set to 640x480 and that is the way it is to be used on qvga devices - with scrolling.

I take it that means there is no way to resize it to the Vario size screen (320x240).

Does'nt look that way - have to use scrolling i am afraid

Actually, the PPC version of the game was originally designed for QVGA devices and is still being adapted to VGA screens
Grab the Release 6 beta 7 version from here, extract the .grf and gm files from a regular TTD install, copy the PPCTTD folder to your PPC and run it. Voila!

Superb, i'll give it a go and get back to you, thanks for the help.

Wisbar advance desktop <-AWESOME

I've just found that Chris @ WisbarAdvance (www.lakeridgesoftware.com) has created a plugin that makes WM5 into ablank desktop on which u can do anything. It's awesome, and seems stable on my JasJar (no alarm failures etc). Some kelw features:
- Different landscape vs portrait themes (so no cut-off images)
- Remove soft buttons on today screen
- shortcuts
- virtual screens and popups of shortcuts
- text meters and graphic meters
Basically anything that any other plugin offers!
Check it out.
Checked on the lakeridge website and couldn't find it- whereabouts is it?
Thanks,
Fin
This site states it is NOT compatable with windows mobile 5.0

anyone got a link to wad 0.7? for wm5 ?
Greetz

lakeridge forums are back up now!
it works, but as you begin using it, you'll find out that your Universal will become EXTREMELY slow.
This is a known issue for WM5 and Universal, so a new update has to come out.

Are you referring to the 2.4.1.11 beta or shipping version when you say it is very slow ?
I installed the software but it made my device slower than ever.
I uninstalled it, and my device is OK now.
I'm using GSPocketMagic Ver 1.32.18, it's the only program which does not affect the speed of Jasjar and does all functions I need to close the running programs. It really made using my Jasjar is much better, easier, and faster.

Is It just me?
Hi,
-Went to WAD forums, dl'd RC6 and even RC5 beta of WAD, WM5 .Cab...
-dl'd from JJ incidentally
-installed CAB from File Explorer
-Install deemed "successful" after CAB ran.
-Soft reset and the whole 9 yards (ie: double checked today screen settings) and see no aesthetic change to Today Screen's look, and some ambiguous WAD folder in Programs.
Advice much appreciated Dudes.
Thank U!
I'm having problems with this too... I just get a blank desktop and it won't load any of the skins I've downloaded to work with it...
Pah.
lol
haha
you need a full version of wisbar advanced!! then you can add the the WAD plugin ;o) worked fine for me..
only problem is that wisbar advance is not wm5 optimized.. it slows the Universal down!!!
so better leave it.. and wait for optimized wm5 software!!
Don;t agree. JJ is just as fast as it was after hard reset and GPMagic++ - EXCEPT that portrait-landscape change is VERY slow - 8 seconds vs 1.5. That's cos it loads a WHOLE new theme and skin - a penalty I'm happy to live with for all the otehr benefits - cascading menu, awesome desktop capabilities, original task management, awesome skinning, etc etc.
hmm
remove it all and reset your device and notice how much faster the universal is.. even if you just stay in landscape mode.
i removed all sbsh software and also pocketbreeze and my universal is 20 times faster.
if you don't mind the lagg when changing from landscape to portrait ok, but the menu and all other programs do behave slower too.
When i flip my screen to landscape it now changes instantly.. have to say i use checknotifications. ;o)
just hoping for a great update soon, or else i sell my mda pro to someone here in holland for 600 euros and wait for version 2 LOL
I agree, Wisbar Advance does slow down the device. No wonder, all this graphic wealth has to come at a cost: resources!

Both.
See what DVL mentions. He's 100% correct. We have to wait for a new BETA to come out or be very patient with your Universal. :lol:

NavNGo iGo 8 for the X1

I'm a long-time fan of NavNGo's iGo navigation solution, and since yesterday also a happy owner of an X1. However, these two are currently not on speaking terms with each other. Installation seems to work fine, but clicking the application icon results in, well, nothing.
Searching the net in general and this forum in particular has shown me that this has been a problem with a number of HTC devices. I have tried a couple of the proposed solutions for some of them, but none have worked so far. Has anyone managed to get iGo 8 (or, for that matter, 2006 - I have both) running on the X1 and, if so, how? Any help would be appreciated.
did you update to the latest version with the contentmanager? also try to disable agps on your x1 and try again, but what also can happen is that it dont likes the WVGA Resolution for that i dont have an solution.
regards charon

Using latest version. I read in other forums about disabling agps, but saw other posts claiming that was not necessary with the latest version. Either way, if I'd want to try it, how do I disable agps?
I think what you have to do is find a skins that is wvga compatible for it. I've been looking all over the net to find one, but I cant. I'm sure this is the problem.

I've seen this site before, but when you look at the included resolutions in the folders they only have 400x240.
Download the skin with 400x240 resolution and modify the sys.txt to include the following lines
[interface]
resolution_dir="400_240"
vga=1

well.. Did it work?
I'm also a fan of iGO8 and I'm getting my X1 tomorrow.
So I really hope it works ok.
one thing you could try is to add the sys.txt lines without using the skin. Does the original skin resize if you do that?

Oh sorry for the mix up, I've basically been preparing all my software that I was using on my omnia to use on my X1 that I will get in a few days, So I won't be able to test this yet, but I believe that the skin was the only think that would've been a problem on the x1, but now it's solved. If it doesn't work even with the skin, I have tomtom7 that I know works on the x1 (according to other owners). But I can't wait to have mine!!!

Hi to everybody,
I thought about using the Garmin, but if the Igo could be used on the X1 it would be better still.
Do you have novelty?

Normal WM themes on an ELF?

Just curious if you can use normal Windows Mobile Themes and backgrounds on the Elf?
Yes you can.
Yes you can. Assuming by normal Windows mobile themes you mean standard themes on QVGA resolution. You can also just use plain background images as well, just look for files with the .tsk extension. These can automatically be applied through your today screen.
alright, I was just curious, I was told you cant use the normal tsk files anymore, and that the Elf did not support a Home Screen anymore since the home screen has the custom HTC style....pretty much I am still able to use any tsk file, as long as it is QVGA correct?
Thanks for the clarification and quick reply....
Also has there been any problems on record with TomTom...When I get mine I am hoping to get TomTom on, but not sure if it is compatible with the new TouchFlo interface.
Thanks!

lol....yes the home screen can still be changed. The tsk file changes the background and the color theme of your phone. You can choose to toggle the default HTC home screen on or off through your today screen settings under start-->settings-->personal-->today-->Items. Either ways it doesn't have any impact whatsoever on the functionality of the tsk file. You can customize it to your hearts content Infact, you can even customize the default HTC home sceen using this app
ahh...very nice I have been debating this or a Wing....
Tom Tom has no issues either?
Last thing I need is to buy a phone and have TomTom software I spent money on be useless

Display info screen in front of Password screen like SPB Mobile Shell

If, like me, you're on a corporate exchange server then you'll know the pain of your lovely Touch HD displaying the password screen after each 15 minutes of non-usage has passed...
Unfortunately this page has lacked a serious amount of love and as a consequence just annoys the hell out of me. SPB Mobile Shell have somehow managed to insert a screen which sits on top of this one... Unfortunately i don't want to run SPB Mobile Shell as i prefer TF3D's interface...
Anyone know of any apps that might just present info like unread emails, next calendar items/time etc in front of this screen...?
Failing that... is it possible to jazz up the Password page itself?!
Thanks in advance.
Maybe you're looking for this:
http://pocketshield.netserver01.com/
Thanks. Looks good. Quick question... does the Touch HD come with .Net Compact Framework 3.5.7283 already? Or do i need to install this as well for it to work?
Cheers...
I don't use a Touch HD, but I use my device with Exchange and the device locks after 15mins as you say.
I found that myinfo93.gif is the background image which sits behind the work 'my info' and I modified this image to match the colour scheme of my Today screen so it looks better.
The file is hidden and marked as System so you need to use something like Total Commander to unmark the System flag before you can overwrite the file.
I used exchange also, I have mine set to only ask for a password if there is more than 24 hours passed since last use

Keyboard too small in Tomtom

hello,
i've got tomtom 7 installed on my HD2 but the keyboard is extremely small. any idea how to fix that? changing in to large in preferences doesn't make any difference, it's about the size of the status bar on the bottom. the same version of tomtom on my i-mate 9502 works fine. any ideas? thanks.
Make room for a small one
Ironic as it sounds but go into your settings and change the keyboard to smal... its the same on the HD from what I can remember.. If it dont wok dont flame me as I dont own either device but did this on my mates HD and it worked ;-)
didn't work for me.
You need wvga version instead of qvga
I have tomtom 7.916 and the keyboard is perfect. Maybe you have an old tomtom version ?
I have found by using the BSB tweeks mod and enable the TOM TOM Prog to turn to landscape when you turn phone, the keyboard is made much much bigger
thanks for your replies.
small keyboard is the same as large, doesn't matter what i chose.
also, i don't know where i can get the wvga version as the only one i've got is the qvga.
i have tomtom 7.450 which is not newest but it worked fine on my vga screen in i-mate 9502.
I have a cab for 7.9 but it won't acknowledge my perfectly legal map.

We're not allowed to post links to warez sites, but if you were to look at the usual suspect ppc web sites I'm sure there are ways to activate your maps
As far as I know TomTom don't officially support the HD2 yet, but there are ways around this. If you have a legit map and legit TomTom software I personally don't have any issues with you using an alternative source for your downloads.
