opera 8 for universal

look everyone .. nice trick ... looking forward to try it by myself ..
http://kny.iki.fi/operawm5/

Works OK.
As it's for smartphone though there are no scroll bars. Need to navigate with the d-pad or arrow keys.

This looks good, but I can't get it to run on my JasJar. I didn't apply the hires hack, I wonder if that does something else to it as well. It installs fine, but when I try to run, it doesn't load.

You need to do a soft reset after installing or it won't work.

Is this some kind of beta or a trial version?

I just created a cab file from the original files, but still I'm not able to run it, I installed it on wm2003se device, plz any one take a look at it and force it to run if it's possible.

Universal Doc, I think it's a trial version. That's what I downloaded from the Opera site anyway.
I can't get it to to run on my device though. It seems to install -- I soft reset as instructed above, but when I click it to run, it doesn't run, the cursor circle pops up and runs for a brief moment, but then nothing else happens.
I tried the CAB file posted above, but it won't install on my device. Gets about 80% done, then a message pops up that says unable to install on the device.
No luck for me yet - hopefully Opera will release their WM5 version soon. I really like miss TrueVGA browsing.

it's a smartphone application not a pocketpc application
2003SE cant run smartphone applications only 2005 can do that

It does not work for me yet, such a shame (the devices are brothers of each other but don't have the same blood) but mine is a wm2005 machine now.
I get:
- Opera load failure
- Unable to load opera.dll
Can anybody post the opera.dll, maybe someone or meself can compare de dll's and can get this to work on his BlueAngel brother.

Right, and the JasJar I'm trying on is a WM5 machine. Isn't that the forum we are in?

I downloaded Opera 8 for Smartphones from Opera website, installed on my Jasjar, soft reset and I am able to run it. I installed the application to my main memory and not to the storage card.
However it is not a perfect run on the Jasjar, for example when I open the Hotmail website it takes me to the mobile hotmail website and not the full hotmail website. Furthermore it just takes me to the log-in page and cannot go further because when I enter the username in the prescribed box every press of the keys enters 2 characters simultaneously. For example when I enter "s" it would enter "ss" and so on.
I believe we will have to wait till Opera releases the version for Windows Mobile 5 for Pocket PC.

TomTom 5.2 Update - Better?

IS there much difference in performance running 5.2 instead of 5.1 on the Universal?
Is there any difference at all?

This new version has the following new features and improvements:
Improved phone functionality for your device.
TomTom NAVIGATOR is now compatible with Microsoft Windows™ MOBILE 5.0 devices.

Thanks. But TT 5.1 works fine on my EXEC without any problems already. I was wondering if there is an actual difference in experience? Because I dont want to fix what aint broken unless there are new features or a performance improvement, etc...
So has anyone with the 5.2 update installed experienced any significant improvement please??

Just tried the cracked one, and I can't see a difference against 5.1. The screen still draws visibly slowly and the UI is still as limiting and unsophisticated as ever.
I can't see any benefit in upgrading if TT is working already for you.
Looks like TomTom will be waiting a while longer to get my upgrade fee. I'm happy to upgrade legitimately from my legitimate v3, but I don't consider it to be a viable option at the moment. TomTom seem to have lost their way on PocketPC software since they are apparently unifying the software to match their TomTomGO platform. Sadly that leaves those of us with sophisticated multi-purpose devices wondering why we can't have the flexibility of version 3, in which we could keep the Windows Taskbar on the screen and actually use the damn operating system at the same time!
Not good, TomTom. Not good at all. :evil:

Thanks SiliconS.

You have no choice but to wait for the upgrade as I can't find any link to do this on their web site. Does anyone know of any other way of upgrading?
I have version 3 & I refuse to buy version 5 other than through an upgrade.
Mike

I have paid for the upgrade, but the cracked version saves having to mess around with their annoying registration system.
I find the UI clean and elegant. It allows you to quickly do what you need, without fuss. It also makes switching from other TomTom's (Go etc) easy. I find version 5 far better than 3. The maps are much improved too and include all of Europe. Easily worth the upgrade price.
(The screen update is slow in landscape mode, but fine in Portrait.)

i got this (on the wizard) and i still get the same backlight turning off when running it problem. and the hex edit doesnt work with this exe (well not the same values anyway)

thefunkygibbon, you need to hex edit the exe and find the 4 instances of backlight and change them to bbcklight.
Works great on wm5.

hack done
Tomtom 5.2 with hexa change

I have noticed no difference in operation over 5.1
The only change I can see is that it installs via active sink (sic) and ignores the instruction to install to the SD card by placing the application in RAM :evil:

not working correctly
this works for me but cant get any voices to work (i put them on the storgae card from original disk)
it will not find my gps either any ideas

Yea, those bozos at TomTom excelled themselves again, didn't they?
http://www.howardforums.com/showpost.php?p=6309013&postcount=9

Apart from what was said on Howard Forums, which I agree with (clueless TomTom devs!), the update seems to add the ability to install without having to copy the CABS onto the phone.
Apart from that, no difference. If you start it up in landscape mode, it'll run in portrait mode.
One other hint that TomTom are clueless idiots - the compatibility list shows the Jasjar and the MDA Pro as being compatible. However, when I requested an activation code from them they insisted the M5000 was not compatible. They wouldn't accept that the M5000 and the XDA Exec were the same hardware and base image!

In tomtom V5.21 better bluetooth management and u can install directly by activesync with WM2005. For the voices you must to install with the original disk and then you can choise the voices otherwise copy tomtom directory contain the voices in "my documents"

Precisely. Activesync install was the one obvious thing they had to fix, and they cocked it up. Funny how every other WM5 developer in the world seems to manage it.

Precisely. Broken landscape mode. No support for soft buttons. So what's this magical support for WM5? Everything works the same (or doesn't) as in 5.1.

Clealry, TomTom employees are a complete bozos, and their management couldn't give a sh*t because they've got your money. No wonder people are so keen to rip them off.

Yes, but the morons f*cked up the code so it won't install to the Storage Card. One CAB doesn't ask, the 2nd CAB asks but ignores your answer. So unless you move everything by hand with File Explorer, that's 3MB of your precious main memory wasted. Don't forget it's your money that's paying them to write that crap.

tomtom xda exec
i cant get voices to work or my bt gps helpppppppppppp ,ripping my hair out ive tried all the socalled fixes but no goooood any help would be really great thx

Help please. New xda mini s and tomtom.

I'm a bit confused here. I have the new xda mini s and tomtom 5 which works fine on my mitac and xda 2. I tried installing on the mini s and it crashes.
My question is simple. Is it a pda or a smartphone. There are version of tomtom for pda and smartphone, but the tomtom site seems to call it a smartphone because of the os. I was more than happy with ppc 2003 and wish it was on the mini s as I don't like the lack of backup in activesync. A major oversight in my opinion. Other than that, I really like the mini s and find it much more usable as a phone than either of my previous xda's.
Any help is appreciated in advance.

It's a PDA and you want TomTom Navigator and NOT TomTom Mobile.

You may want to do a search on tomtom and WM5 in the forum; i remember seeing a few posts on this.

tom tom 5.2
if you do get tom tom 5 you must make sure that you upgrade to version 5.2 however it will not sync with the mini s, so you must do it externally i.e. with a card reader and it will work fine. Hope that this helps. :lol:

Tried all that, now what.
Thanks again for the replies.
I have got to various stages in making it work, the best being to get to the select voice stage whereupon it hangs and does nothing. Soft reset time again. I have read that the voice is in the wrong folder, but where exactly is it suppossed to be. It works if I test it before selecting it. It only hangs when I actually select the voice. I have tried using a reg editor to remove everything, but there is nothing in the registry referring to tomtom when I remove it using the remove programs feature. Several attempts have made no difference.
Is 5.21 the official tomtom patch which is supposed to properly support windows mobile 5 and the xda mini s. In the list of compatible devices there is no mention of the mini s, but the mda vario is there. Is this different somehow?.
I have tried this on my mitac and xda2, but work fine without problems. Its only the mini s which won't have it. Everyone I know also has no problem with PPC and the 5.21 update, only problem being with anyone having a mini s. Have we gone backwards by trying to go forwards.
Other than that, I really like the phone and think it would be the best yet if everything was properly supported. Faster would be nice, but its not bad now I've followed the advice on here and stopped all the crap from loading. As always, thanks in advance for any help.

I have exactly the same problem as you ripz69.
So close to ditching the a to z, but then so far!
Hope someone can help us get it sorted.

5.21 works fine on mine, but the setup.exe doesn't. Had to manually run the four cab files to get it installed.

tomtom 5.21 and mini s
I did that. Installed the cabs manually and it locked up. Installed from the pc and it locked up. Although I haven't done a hard reset, I have scoured the registry and there is nothing in there relating to tomtom after removing it prior to trying another method. Maybe its just mine, but I doubt it.
It can't be just me as my efforts over the last few days have revealed it to be a common problem despite the new release from tomtom supposedly supporting windows mobile 5. Its not the only program to have problems. I have also used a later version of vbar (0.40 instead of 0.23) which works better, and my favoured batmemtime has been replaced with another (less colourfull) version of something which does almost the same thing. Things are much better now except for tomtom.
I have had this thing about a week now and have done a number of hard resets to try different configurations after reading the threads on this site regarding the best ways of making it run at a decent speed. This was easily done before the removal of the backup and restore facility from activesync as it was easy enough to get it back to the state of play before messing with it. I don't understand the reasoning behind the removal of this facility, and know of no other program that allows you to restore the thing to a working state (as reliably as a/sync) without a full re-installation of stuff.
As much as I like it, I see times ahead when I sit here frustrated at yet another crash. I can only hope that Microsoft see the mistake of omitting the restore facility from a/sync and replace it in a future release. I have to say that my confidence in the robustness of windows mobile 5 in the mini s is less than it was in my xda2 or even the 1, mainly because of the a/sync issue.
At the risk of repeating myself yet again, I only wish Psion had entered the pocket pc market as several years with a mine were virtually trouble free. Will it even be the case with Microsoft.
Somehow, I doubt it.
TIA

i have just come across the same problem, anyone found a fix to this?
cheers

Copy the "TomTom" folder that contains Munich.bin and data.chk (probably several other files as well) from your storage card to the "My Documents folder on the XDA.
This will fix the hanging at voice selection problem.
Make sure you copy not cut the folder though.

This continues to be a big headache for WM5 users
You could try this step by step guide on 4WinMobile

see if this helps, it got 2 people going.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39074

one things need notice, make sure the path in currentmap.dat is same as your map location in your sd. you can use ultraedit-32 check the currentmap.dat and change the map path.

Success
Thanks to all the suggestions, its now working. I seem to have sussed everything including theb bluetooth gps problem. It starts the bluetooth driver when I start tomtom and stops it when I exit. Perfect.
I had to do the reg thing and copy the tomtom folder as seggested, but I'm just glad to see it work. Thanks to all who helped with the brains. I'm so glad I found this place (as is my mate who now has his working too, thanks to what I have learned here).
Now if only Microsoft will give us a proper backup and restore feature for Windows mobile 5. That would be the icing on the cake.
Cheers all.

MS Office 2007 CAB - only for WM6

Hi, someone here wrote that it is impossible to create office 2007 cab file. I tried it and here is a result... Download the cab file and install it, then reset the device. It works only on WM6 for now, but I'll try to make it for WM5 too.
Tested on Wizard WM6 (5.2.318 Build 15342.0.0.0).
Download link: http://rapidshare.com/files/35775212/jimm98y_office2007.CAB.html
Here is new version:
+ executables are compressed
+ fixed uninstall bug with deleting icons
- still doesn't work on WM5
Download link: http://rapidshare.com/files/35900969/jimm98y_office2007.CAB.html
Download mirror: http://sharegadget.com/563261821 - working (6.5.2008)

nice, i will try..let see if realy works and dont dupe the office

What program did you use for building the cab, just curious.

I used cabwiz.exe for ppc and the *.inf file, because I think that it's the best way of making cabs...

WM5
Top stuff, any news on a WM5 version

worked on my Black 3, Thanks, but it takes about 5-6MBs off the device memory.. that's just too much

Great stuff!
Works on a SDK-image too, but only on the English ones. I tried it on a Dutch SDK, but that won't work.

Installation worked flawless on my German WM6 ROM with my Herald. No Problems opening a .docx file, but Excel won't start at all.

How did it only take 5 - 6 MB of Storage Memory. Mine dropped from 20.11mb down to 6.91mb. . . WAAAYYY too much for me. Too bad, too. . . it was working flawlessly . . . and I really wanted the OneNote app, too.
Disregard that. . . DOH!! After I deleted the .cab file, I gained back almost 7MB of Storage Space. . . a little more "liveable" now.

i just get my htc touch diamond original in malaysia with touch3d ver 1.1.34571.0_1630.38. my diamond is new with original softwares.Previously i used symbian smart phone. But i found some trouble when i use win mobile because i do not understand it well.
i have a few question, i will be glad if seniors in this forum can help me.
my questions...
1)my touch diamond have only 80++mb for my device, remain 3.2gb is internal storage.i found problem when i install software because the message said not enough space. so can i install the software on "internal storage"? or can i do a new partition that make my device 1gb?
2)how to use .cab files?
3)if certain software that come in .rar @ .zip format, how to install in my diamond? (just extract it in paste into the diamond or have to install using active snyc?)
4) my original set come with activesnyc cd, but can only work with window xp, but my os is win vista....how to solve it?
5) i found that my diamond is damn slow, i found the forum " List of Diamond Tweaks " that can increase the performance of the diamond, but i can't found registry editor in my diamond.
6)the g sensor seem very great, but actually how to use it?(i only found it work in opera browser, how to use it in games likes need for speed undercover?)
7)the footprint add-on, i like to have it on my diamond. it is ok to work on my touch diamond?
8)the gps softwares, the pda shop give me the QuickGPS. but how about other like Papago , copilot n navitel?actually how it works?
9)i saw the new touch diamond2's ui, with is better than the one in touch diamond1. can i install the diamond2 ui into diamond1?(worried about it because the RAM n ROM in diamond 1 is smaller than diamond2, screen size also smaller)
thank you very much for reading my post.

Ok, welcome and use the search button up ther that it will solve almost all your future doubts...for now, i'll tell you what i know.
1)YOu can install the softwares on the internal storage, but not the "System" ones, like Opera, Touchflow 3d and others. You will see, if you install it and it doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall it on the device
2)Just tranfer than into the memory (any, storage or phone) and click the file on the phone.
3)Extract it on your computer, if it's a cab, do step 2. If it's a folder with an "EXE" file, double click it. If it says "not a valid win32 aplication", just transfer to the memory and execute the "exe" through the phone explorer. If it's a windows installer, connect your phone through the activesync and install it.
4) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center-download.mspx
5) There is no built-in, download and install the PHM Registry editor or TaskManager or any other. This is my personal favorite: http://freewareppc.com/utilities/taskmanager.shtml
6)The first one is my favorite:

7)Can't say, never used it.
8)On my diamond i have Igo 8 (http://www.igomyway.eu/product_4.html) and works perfect, just like a Gps-only tool. I also know that some others like Destinator and TOMTOM work really well.
9)Not yet finished, but it's being ported:

Well, if you do official HTC update from their site with your own S/N you'll not loose your warranty. In my opnion cooked rooms are better, but i won't tell wich one. That depends on the programs you like and how you like your diamond, is really personal and it's a "Forbiden" discussion here. It's up to you to read the posts and see if it's worth it a try.
If you have any more doubts, you can PM me for opnions, but i don't think this thread is a good place to discuss this, cause the matter already been discussed several times.
