DOES **GPS** Work On Hermes?

I have a cingular 8525, and theres people talking about loading tomtom to there 8525, is the GPS function working on it? seems like there is drivers on here for it? and people trying to get it to work? Anyone can give me any info without me going over 70 pages of peoples comments?
Thank you.....and a Thank you for all the people cooking the ROMS...Lets see at ATT/Cingular ROM with Windows Mobile 6.......

Come on man, just read the last few posts out of the GPS threads and you will know. It does not work yet, the software is there (supposedly) what is needed now is an antenna.

If you're not willing to familiarize yourself with the GPS threads, then please just go out and buy a bluetooth GPS and save everyone some time.

thank you
I expected this response, But allot of people have the same question this just makes it simple......Who wants to carry their brick looking hermes and a brick gps module? NO ONE.... but thnak you for the replies....it is very appreciated

If you can't be bothered to read the threads than any attempt you make at enabling gps is likely to result in a brick. So why bother ask?

I think this is a great question as I have been a member of xda for a while now and I don't feel like reading through all 70 pages either simple question why not answer the question without making him feel like a d!ck not working yet man when it does work it will be added to the stickys

Pfff then we would get this question everyday. people should just read the last pages! Or else we get stupid questions every day.
btw. is the proton rom out already?

Gentlemen please. You know what I like about XDA-Dev, compared to some other places, is the generally very helpful and polite manner of the posters. Sometimes something can really wind us up and showing a bit of irritation is fine but now we've shown that let's think how we avoid this problem in future.
Firstly if there is already a thread on a subject it should be used to post a relevant question. So a question about GPS should not be in a new thread like this one.
Secondly, I agree with the above poster who said - you only need to read through the last few posts , not all 70 pages, to know roughly what is happening.
Thirdly, you may get away with far more slightly cheeky things if you ask politely and with a measure of humour.
Lastly, as someone above said sometimes it's just easier and more peaceful to give a very short answer to a "cheeky" question whilst perhaps also pointing out that next time the person might do a bit more work to get the answer.
Peace and Love

I can manage to Flash my arse - if that's any help?? Last time I did it though someone gave me a boot up it which made me **** a brick. So I guess you might say I got stuck in bootloader mode and ended up with a brick!!!???

@mikechannon: good point. nice pic. very amusing.

You all are right probably... but why are there 3 threads???
And why are there 4 threads about WM6???
Both my favorite subjects, so I always have to read 7 threads...
Yeah I know, I don't have to if I don't want to. But I want!
But still: maybe some more moderating???

Worth a haiku I think.

Port HTC HD Stock tab to Diamond

Hi,
Can someone port the STock tab to Diamond? Is it possible?

Doesn't this belong under "Diamond ROM Development"? Good idea, though, although I don't think it's possible... yet anyway

If someone creates a similar tab in functionality, then it belongs here, not in ROM development.

sounds good, hope someone can do it

Sounds good, but if you're from US, you're going to just an arrow going down, like this:

So just put that image as a tab, and you're all set...

Port HD stock tab to Diamond
This is not the place to discuss stock market ....
So can someone port stock tab to Diamond? or is there any resource to link to this request?

It would be a great thing to view my portfolio on this thing without having to log into E*Trade in Opera.
And to add to the stock discussion...stocks are just on sale right now...so calm down!

Seriously, what are you talking about? You obviously have no clue in history, especially, in this case, what the Great Depression (which originated in the USA) did to Europe.
There's nothing wrong with stating the obvious truth. If I made you uncomfortable because you choose to close your eyes instead of seeing the truth, well that's your problem.

This is not a forum for political comments.
BUT since you people started, it is AT LEAST lame to believe that US is what balances the planet. US can very well be what distracts the balance from time to time.

Yes, Hitler rose to power ONLY because of the Depression...
Of course he didn't. Massive oversimplification. It may have helped, but certainly wasn't the only, or probably even the main reason.
Also, yes the US has a massive bearing on the world at the moment, but China and Japan have grown in power massively recently, and with the world not in a state of post-War rebuilding, the situation is totally different.
I too would like a stock tab by the way.

OK everyone settle down. Let's focus. We all want this stock tab.
Currently, I'm writing my own local html files with links to http://stockcharts.com/avantgo/ charts.
I have been using this work-around for almost three years now and I'm really quite sick of it. I myself am willing to contribute monetarily towards porting this stock tab.

Is there no slight possibility HTC will bring it to the Diamond and Raphael in a subsequent ROM release?

sure there is
I expect the sliding dialer too

Point taken, but I didn't close this thread and I did like the title. You just have to consider the amount of threads that are opened which aren't required and being one of the only mods that deals with the HD forums it can eventually take some of the humour out of you. Funny how you didn't actually post your call durations though ??

I understand that you have a need to "keep things tidy" round here and I'm glad you took my post in the spirit it was intended.
My HD is currently winging its way to HTC for repair - I've got my fingers, toes, and bum cheeks crossed that they fix my digitizer (newton rings) and vol up button's cracked plastic. Both are faults that HTC can't seem to make their mind up as to whether they are warranty repairs or not, but hopefully Carphone Warehouse will carry some clout with them as I sent it through them.
I'll post my call times when I get it back, if the thread's still open!
My incoming will trump my outgoing as I am permanently on call, and have no mates to phone up.

this is mine,does anybody has more?

what do you guys say

right guys ive been off here for a year or so last time i was here the touch por was the in phone to have, since then i have been on a iphone.but iam thinking of geting a hd2. now what i wanna know is are they worth it. with android etc coming out for it. is it a good buy.

You might want to read more. Android will not be truly ready for a long while. Sure it might boot now but with it crashing with in minutes it's still not really usable. Then there will be the issues with it not being able to use all of the hardware. So I would never look at Android being able to be an everyday OS for the HD2, just something to play with on the side.

if your in the USA and you want Android why not buy a EVO

I came from a touch pro to the HD2 and have mates (many) with iphones and also a few with android phones... I reckon it all comes down to;
1. whether the phone does everything you want
2. in a way that pleases you
3. with a good ownership experience
All my apps I take from phone to phone are obviously WM based and I must have outlook sync-ability as the phone's used as much for work as play so I've never been tempted to jump to android or iphone...
But I have to say the HD2, in a long line of WM based phones, is the best I have ever used, is quick and fulfills my needs with aplomb and poise never seen before...
Every time I grab my HD2 to use it I am pleased I have it...
Whether its a good buy is determined by how much you want to spend on it and whether it meets your needs...

i had the touch por as a phone and a toy to play with eg android on it, now i can change my iphone for a hd2 it will cost me a extra 30 quid.i have never had any issues with xdas,but iphone is a problematic phone with signal and not getting txt.so far i have had 11 xdas and loved them so think this will be the right one, i just wanted some advice and yet again you guys have said wot i thought. so thank u all.
tmorro night i might have a hd2
happy times.
ps yes i know about android not being right yet but iam willing to wait for it

Hi
I have always used windows mobile devices, i love it, but a lot of people hate it. Its like marmite i guess. If you are in the love camp then the hd2 is by far the best device yet. The sense interface is great, adding speed to getting to what you want to get at. The only thing i would say is a custom rom based around wm 6.5.x is a must. It adds the needed finger friendless, 6.5 still feels like it needs a stylus. Come on HTC i now you are reading, Bring us a official 6.5.x update!!
So if you are down with windows mobile and love the ability to tweak it the way you want it (but with hours on xda dev) Then The HD2 is the way to go! I love Mine
If you hate it by a nexus one or desire.
Peace

Congrats on the the HD2 ....
I really think all NeoGreendawg was trying to say , in his gentlest of ways, was , "There is a sticky at the top of just about every forum(except this one of course) that says, "Please Post Questions in the Q&A Section" or something like that, to be honest not really sure what would qualify as General ...... ...
But I digress, Again Congrats on the HD2, and Happy 4th!!

Things like this is one reason why people are migrating to htcpedia which is a shame because it is nothing on XDADEV. If you have nothing helpful to say about a perfectly sensible question, then why post?
There is nothing wrong with your question. As watcher64 pointed out there is no sticky, so there was no harm in asking.
We are all here to help each other, i thought that was the whole point of this forum.
Hope you are happy with the HD2.
Peace.

The Problem with the ROMs is YOU.

You as in me. Me as in us. Us as in everyone here.
In my time here I've begun to notice a trend we all tend to follow. We as a community of Evo 4G owners are already committed to the bleeding edge. By contributing additional time and effort to rooting, romming, and pushing our hardware, we gleefully fling ourselves over that bleeding edge into the dark abyss below.
I've reformatted and wiped my phone completely somewhere north of 200 times. Now I'm to the point where I just want something that works while I focus on other projects. In an effort to find the Holy Grail of "perfect" implementations, I've noticed that it is my own finagling with the distributions that causes instability and poor battery life.
The devs are pretty clear about what the goals of their distributions are, what you can expect, and what happens if you don't read directions. If a rom isn't living up to YOUR expectations, then either you should take inventory of what you expect from a voluntary effort or take up the mantle of cooking your own.
So next time you complain that you are on an AOSP that can't use Sense widgets, a ROM that doesn't have HDMI (and clearly states it in prior to installation) for the 1% of people who think their phone is a VCR, or doesn't get the same battery life as a nuclear submarine; you might want to take these facts into consideration.
Honestly, I know this rant is wasted on those that complain in the rom threads over and over and over again. They've already demonstrated they can't read anyway.
Be kind to our Devs. The last thing any of us needs is them to feel suffocated by our insane demands and to run off screaming into the night. Without them, you'd still all be stuck on an unrooted phone pushing 30 frames per second and getting 14 minutes of talk time before it exploded in your hands.

Well said!

well said indeed.
though i think some feedback is always need as it helps the devs in some ways. I to have noticed a lot of people have moved from feedback to demands. (the damage control rom is a good example of this. they havent put an update out in while. All yuo see when your ead the thread now is hey why isnt there an update we need an update. but when these people are asked what they think needs fixed or what they need in the update ... most just cant tell you. I'm not saying damage control is perfect as is because it isnt. there are new tweaks i am sure they could put in to adjust this or that a little. I just think it is funny how so many are demanding an update for an updates sake in that instance and because there hasnt been one refer to the rom as being dead.)
seems like a lot dont read the op for the rom either and complain. anther example is in evio 1.2 calk switched the home and back buttons function purposely. it says he did in the op and says he feels it works better and provides a zip to revert that change if you dont like it. still tons of posts of people complaining and demanding a fix yet ... its already done and explained its a feature.
sorry thought i would join your rant lol.

Until someone makes a rom with the gbs and the wifis, I reserve the right to complain like a little school girl whose shoes are too tight.

i want the one with more gbs kthx.

also please remember that its a phone

oh it's always nice to get that rom that "works". but sometimes it's fun to try out a new feature. if you are a constant flasher, time reinstalling is the price you pay. if a person finds themselves constantly flashing, they should make sure they use backup programs to make the process take less time. there are also OTA rom updates now, which were hinted at on WM, but since it's current iteration (6.5.x) is about to be "legacy" soon, i don't think it was made a reality. the demands vs. request thing can get annoying though. maybe an update to the forum rules where such behavior and be reported might be an option. lastly, yes, we understand that some of you paid good money for your phone and don't have a ton of cash, but there are people doing stuff for free that they could keep to themselves. skip a lunch out or a combo meal ONE time, and donate that to someone whose roms you use on a regular basis or a really cool app. if you wrap your head around it, it is reciprocation for the unselfish act these devs are doing.

The reference to a VCR made me laugh hard enough that my wife looked at me like I was crazy.
Good post though. I agree with you. I'm still very new to Android, but I think some people take these things way too far.
I appreciate all of those who put so much time into helping others here, whether they be finding new root exploits, cooking roms, putting together new kernels, or designing new themes, apps, boot animations, etc.
The thing those people need to keep in mind is that the devs aren't doing it for a paycheck. They're doing it because they enjoy it. They just happen to be nice enough to share, so we can enjoy it too.
