Windows Vista on Athena ! I done it !

You want to know how to run Windows Vista on Athena? Well, read on!
Firstly, is not really installing the Vista on Athena, i uses the terminal client services to remote control my desktop.
This is the application i use, it's the TCS in WM6, at least 10x better then the original WM5 one. Simply install it and run it, you will have to have knowledge of remote desktop to set this up. I will not try to cover here because there are some ways. Do a search on the net and you will find lots of into.
Below i attach the WM6 TCS and a screen shot of my Vista Ready Athena!
Haha, you got yourself a UMPC now.

That looks Amazing...

Damn that looks good! Can you actually control and view evrything that happens on your vista through your Dopod? Including High Def Movies? (I know I'm pushing it now )

yes you can control everything including setting and e-mail, office, outlook. However movie doesn't play for some reason, i am working on it now.

Thanks A Lot!
I've done it. And it works really well!
And indeed much better then the WM5 implementation of TCS.

It's never gonna work for me...I'm using XP Home Edition. Home Edition does not support Remote desktop/TCS, even though the application comes with it.
Confirmed by microsoft. It will work with XP Pro though! Might just upgrade it then, but can't remember if that wipes all of my installed apps? Don't fancy re-installing them...way too many.

nah, it doesn't. upgrade leaves everything as it was- even your desktop, settings, etc.

Hi Wu, I tried to use the remote terminal with Universal. It works, however I cannot type neither using the Universal keyboard nor the softkeyboard of the Universal. How do you keyed in text when you are remote accessing your PC?

Hey Wu. Can you or anyone else who has successfully got the WM6 Remote Desktop to work on the Athena please give me some guidance?
1st. Thanks for the link Slave 1.....the web based 'LogMein' works a treat!
Wu..I done a clean install of XP Pro (supports TCS and Remote Desktop) and I installed all necessary components for XP & Remote Desktop. Activated 'Allow users....to Remote Desktop' etc.. My problem is not knowing what to put in the 'Domain' section in the WM6 Remote Desktop application. Is Domain the same as IP? Forgive my ignorance on this...I'm a noob to this..
If it's IP info required for this part, which one? I think I have a static IP address, but am not sure. When I check my IP over the web it is different to what shows up for my PC??!!
I'm confused now. This I believe is my only glitch now. Help please. 'LogMeIn.com' works fine, but it's implementation leaves a lot to be desired and all of you guys seem to really like the WM6 style.
Pointers please.

you don't really need to type in anything in the domain, you can leave it blank, the most important part is the first one, the computer name, you have to type in the IP address of your computer, or your actual computer name if you are connecting on a local network. check your computer IP, and just put it in there, it should work.

Hi
I have a problem in that i can only get the remote working via wi-fi (same network) but when im away and i type the ip adress while on t-mobile internet, i can't connect at all. i have disabled firewall and anti virus but still can't connect. I can only connect while im on the same network
any ideas?

you need to forward the port, if i remember correctly, it's 3389 to your computer IP. Do a search on xda about port forwarding
thanks for Moskus for correcting me

I think the port is 3389...

great, it works!! thanksd alot guys

If someone got problem on the keyboard and button.
Try to install in the Device but not the MicroDrive.
I got it work after I reinstall it
HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking to buy a Universal

I'm interesting in the current asking price of a Universal.
My primary interest is to use it with the RDP client to connect to windows due to its VGA screen - and thats about it.
Is it still quite an expensive bit of kit? And are there any hopes of swapping Blue Angel for one, as thats only a QVGA screen.
Cheers for any advice that can be given.

FYI, RDP client is there only in WM6(which has its share of bugs). If you use those files in WM5 for RDP client, you cannot use the built in hard keyboard or soft(onscreen) keyboard.
Note: RDP is not there in any WM5 ROM

I have a .cab that runs perfectly on my WM5 rom for the BA.
I've attached the one I use fine on BA.

Yes, only if you use WM6. As I have already said, using the abovementioned cab by you wont let you enter any input via keyboard. So, if you can live with the issues of wm6(mainly, inability to connect to wpa-tsk wifi network and some video call issues), then, you'll be happy with universal

Not true, if you install the above CAB on WM5, then you can use fullscreen RDP and there is no problem with the hardware keyboard at all! I just tried it yesterday on my WM5 Uni, it works great! There are a few bugs with it however:
- You must manually connect to the internet first, the RDP client will not connect for you. If you don't do this, then the RDP client will just report a strange error message.
- The "fit remote desktop to screen" option is permanently enabled. It doesn't make any difference if you tick this option box or not. This means that the remote screen will always be 640x480, which is no problem for me.
- It doesn't seem to close properly on first attempt. I have the X button of SPB Pocket Plus, and this does not close it first time - I have to ALT+TAB back to it and close it a second time before it will be properly closed.
Some or all of these bugs may only appear on WM5, but they are all very minor IMHO. Once again I can confirm that both fullscreen 640x480 VGA mode and the hardware keyboard on the Uni works perfectly in WM5, so enjoy!!! This new RDP client is incredibly fast and responsive, I use it all the time to connect to my home PC with the T-Mobile unlimited 3G data plan

MSN messenger app with frontcam as webcam ?

Dear all,
I have been wondering if there is an application with messenger, which would have hermes frontcam as a webcam. After a long search I did not manage to find any apps like this. (with this i mean an app, which is running on the WM, NOT on PC).
However I came across one opinion about the thing that it could NOT be possible, since the heavy need of processing of the cam. I started thinking is that right, how much processing speed does it need to run a webcam with like only few pictures per second and a basic chat app running on msn messenger standard.
In my unprofessional opinion that should be possible, and if it is, why isnt anyone else interested in this kind of a thing, and why its not available.
Please somebody, do that kind of an application so I wouldnt have to learn WM PPC programming just because to do that.
or alternatively, prove me wrong.
/Henry

It is defenately possible. I use Web Camera plus and you phone will act as a perfect webcam. You can even choose if you want the front cam or normal cam.

Thanks for the cool info!
Unfortunately that is working as a webcam for a messenger running on a PC only.. Not for messenger application running on my Hermes itself.
Is this impossible, is this going to be my Alamo?
/Henry

Ow, that i do not know. I'm not aware of an app that can do that, allthough i think it should be possible.
Maybe someone else can help you.

Im going to have to say that i doubt such a program exists or will exist.
MSN uses a lot of processing power to convert raw video into a streamed format.
Just because it is possible to do 3G video calls doesnt mean that MSN will use the same compression method.
What they'd first need to develop is voice calls through MSN. Not just voice clips.

hey, check out microsoft portrait, it has an app for both PC and PPC it is actually a development for voice/cam chat for portable devices, work on my wizard, however I don't have a hermes, so you will just need to try it and see, post back the results.
http://research.microsoft.com/mcom/portrait/
on my wizard it does have a drop down for the different cameras it detects, however the wizard only has one camera, so i believe it may bring up both cameras on the hermes

Cool stuff! Will try it out as soon as I get a internet connection.. Just now Im located in Netherlands (against my will ) without internet subscription and with horrible dutch 3g data transfer pricing.
Reporting back from Finland! The land of the thousands lakes and stuff..

sry for that.. just noticed that the file is actually under 1 meg.. so even I can afford that with stupid dutch pricing..

I tried to install it but i couldn't
I've got the last windows installer but the msi gives me a error message every time (i'm running a windows xp professional sp2)

I will try that out later tonight. Which version of WM are you running? 5 or 6? and which version of the phone you have? ..or maybe you ment that its not installing on your computer..

I mean that is not installing on my computer, if I transfer the file to my hermes, it doesn't work either.
Does it work for you ?
I'm on WM6 (Schaps version 3.54c)

Vtap - Video Player

I like it! Thanks.
Videos work great, and the Wikipedia is real nice.

Was wondering that myself. A bit silly. I just went into the Start Menu folder and deleted one of them. I think the smaller of the two. Still works fine.

I work for Veveo Inc. who provide the vTap service.
1. We are looking into the issue with the 2 icons in the programs folder. In the mean time, if you want to remove the vtap(1) icon, I have posted a process to remove it at this link: http://www.vtap.com/faq.html#rq11 .
2. We are looking into the upside down video on the Hermes phone. This has been seen now on a couple of HTC phones. I will post back when we have a solution for that problem.

Hi,
I have an issue with Vtap, it won't connect to the server, why??
It says "Server is temporary unavailable, please click 'retry' to try again.
It keeps saying that over and over again when I'm at home using WiFi. Interestingly, when I go to a hotspot location, it would work.
I have tried to reconfigure my router to put my phone in the DMZ to open all ports but it still won't work?
What is going on?
Btw, I'm living in Singapore, if it matters.

I really like vtap. I think its an awesome app and it pretty easy to use. Of course with T-mo US only being able to offer edge it kind of kills the overall experience for me. But I tried this with a WiFi connection and it works perfect with a high speed data connection.

Must say I haven't checked the wiki or the faq, but it is a real nice videoplayer for youtube etc.

Hello All.. We have posted a new version of the vTap client. This version has a number of bug Fixes:
1 - Storage Card - Previously if you requested vTap to be installed on a storage card, it would still get installed into the main memory of the phone. This has been fixed, and vTap will now be installed onto the storage card.
2 - Double Icon - Previosly when installing vTap, there would be 2 icons created in the Programs folder. Now after installing, there should be only one icon.
3 - Proxy Issue - There was an issue when connecting through some proxies where you would not be able to play clips. An error would be reported indicating the resolved clip is empty. This issue has been resolved.
You can install the latest version of the vTap client by pointing the browser on your phone to www.vtap.com, and downloading the appropriate application.

Can it work with any site with videos?

Hey aalvino,
I'm using an 8525 (Hermes 100) w/vp3G's WM6 v3.62 AT&T ROM. Not sure about the DirectDraw support. I'd like to add that I'm having the same issue with my WiFi connection as well........good audio, but the psychedelic color video...would've been cool back in the '60s.......

The easiest way to install vTap is to just open the Browser on your phone, and go to the site www.vtap.com. You will then be prompted to download the correct .cab file and the installation should start automatically.

RealVNC or UVNC on TP2?

Yes or No? I have remote controller and while it works good, it doesnt recognize the slide keyboard, idk if realvnc or uvnc will, but they're more universal and all my machines already have uvnc on them

Are you talking about a viewer/client or a server on your phone?
RealVNC's website says they have a WM viewer, but there don't seem to be any links to it and it appears to be a commercial product. I don't see any evidence that UltraVNC make a WM viewer.
There are a couple of fully workable free viewers around. Search for vnc-E4_2_7b4-arm_pocketpc_viewer or check out http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net/.

Police Scanner for Win Mo?
Ive seen it for both the droid and the (stupid POS) iphone, theres gotta be a scanner for windows mobile, anyone seen anything?

I've been making a couple posts about UltraVNC mobile over at their website, but I doubt any of the developers really have a Windows Mobile phone to mess around with it. I have the RealVNC one, pre-paid-app version. It seems to be the best. I wish UltraVNC did develop a mobile version because I can't view my secondary monitor on the VNC viewer I'm using now.
Also, just as a note, there are VNC servers out there for your phone so you can use a VNC viewer on your PC to control your phone, but I haven't found one that was always stable. This one seems to be the best bet, but now it's a paid-app.

i tried but i kept getting this error: unable to connect to host: connection timed out (10060)
i was able to connect from pc to pc but not wm to pc. host runs on Win 7 with Outpost firewall. I already allow it on my firewall and forwarded those ports on my router. if you or anyone knows the solution, please tell me. thx.

on your windows 7 pc run uvnc server, Not realvnc. It doesnt work idk why. set it up to recieve the user, pass, and to recieve remote input and then connect using wm realvnc. works on all my machines

I found this a while back it seems to work fine just unzip and copy over to your SD card then run the exe. I personally copied it to my programs folder then created a shortcut to in my start menu.
