Hey guys found a software called Taxi which can use a dump file to use wikipedia ofline on handheld oder Pocket Pc running WM.
But I don't get it.
I want to install the German Version, since the english one is a lil to big for my Sd Card.
Would be happy about any help or hint.
Ps. My problem is, I download the file ( xml) and try to convert it with taxi converter but it says error ^^ heeelp!!!!!!
Wikipedia on the go with Mobipocket!
Hello,
I use the Mobipocket e-book Reader which can be downloaded for free here:
http://www.mobipocket.com/en/DownloadSoft/application.asp?device=WindowsMobile
And the Wiki-Files can be found here:
ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/wikipedia/mobile/ebooks/
Some infos for all the possibilitys for Wikipedia on the go can be found here (in German):
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unterwegs
After installing Mobipocket there will be a folder called "ebooks" created in the Phone Storage.
I have moved the Folder to the "Root Directory ("\") of my Storage Card.
In this folder you have to put the "e-Book files"!
So Mobipocket should detect the e-Book files with the Standard Parameters after installing! (I didn't have to edit any Parameter in Mobipocket!)
Works great for me!
one more question.
I downloaded a *.tgz file 1,4 Gb do i have to unpack that on my sd card in a special folder ?
greets
Look up StarDict and MDict

Hi,
After many hours of trying to get tomtom to work on my mini s I finally did it. Only one problem now is hopw do i get the voice files to work? I have transfered the voice cabs that i want over to the device and storage card and ran from there. Installed perfectly but still no voices within tomtom? What am i doing wrong?
cheers
Well, in the directory u find tomtom directory, make a new sub-dir with the name tomtom and put the voice files there.
so i put the new "tomtom" folder in mydocuments/tomtom?
eg.
my documents/tomtom/tomtom
then do i install from here?
cheers
Hi!
@ferritt: I'm really wondering why your TomTom Setup is so complicated (compared to mine)... Most of us just copied the correct voice.cab (UK Janes file is called engf.cab) to the device and started it (NOT installing to the Storage Card).
It creates a folder under /My Documents -> tomtom with the following files in it -> CurrentMap.dat, data02.chk (that should read data05.chk for english Jane) and data02.vif (data05.vif).
Final view:
/My Documents/tomtom/
CurrentMap.dat
data05.chk
data05.vif
Hope this helps.
Greetings

see what i have mate is the voice files (cab) from my tomtom 5 cd. But also i have the .chk files aswell on another tomtom cd which is the only one i could get working. so should i just put them into the .chk files ionto the tomtom folder?
cheers

It is perfectly possible to install everything to the Storage Card. There's a complete walkthrough here (for the Universal, but the Wizard is very similar)
Edit: added direct download here
I wanted to install an acrobat reader, I did a search for acrobat readers and came across the application on the adobe site. I downloaded the file adberdr20_ppc_enu.exe from the adobe site. However when I try to install the application, I get the message
'adberdr20_ppc_en
' is not a valid Pocket PC application
Can you guys please help
now i understand what the difference betweeen a .cab and .exe installation is.
correct me if i am wrong. i clicked on the .exe file while it was on my pc and my xda was connected to the pc using activesyns. and the reader installed itself.
i guess thre are some .exe files that the xda exec can install and some which have to be installed through activesync
.exe == executable file
but only on the platform it was compiled for
when you get programs for your device
it's most often as exe files you have to run on your pc
then it copy the cab file for your pda cpu normaly ARM
and run it so it unpack the pda exe files to the dir
the exe file is a selfextrating zip file normaly
and have cab files for arm, mips and other pda cpu's in it
Did you try the alternative one: PocketXpdf
http://pocketxpdf.sourceforge.net/
Cheers
is pocketxpdf better than acrobat reader?
thank U tweakradje for the program
its a free one BUT still having bugs and errors and under development
the Acrobat Reader is a famous and rigid program for viewing PDF files and I do strongly recommend to install it
Thank U all
hi,
i have installed (partially) the true VGA option on my universal according to tips given in the hack from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41968 but i am having some problems.
the instruction states :
1 copy the files in windows folders files to windows dir of mobile
2 copy and run sdkcerts.cab to mobile
3 run ozvga and press ozvga button
4 copy files in vga system folders to windows dir for updated vga system files
5 copy and run vjbigphone091 , vjbigphonebuttons , vjbigphonebackdrop
6 soft reset and vga mode activated
now what i have noticed :
1 done
2 done
3 done
4 here is the problem..when i try to copy these files using ActivSync i am getting error messgae that i cannot copy file cos they are not read-only files, even if i change them to read-only files i am still unable to copy them, acces denied while copying.
5 done
6 done
after doing 5 of 6 steeps i am running my universal in VGA mode but why cannt i copy these file and are they really needed ?
in addition i can say that VGA seems not to suprt wisbar and some other program , is there any list of compatible software.
can i change the size of icon and task bar and other stuff while running VGa mode. where can i find some more info about VGA ??
i am using mda pro with not the lates ROM ( just bought my mda )
any help and ideas are appreaciated !
cheers, cudo
Use Resco File Explorer to copy the protected files, as though it still recognises they are 'system' files the program does overwrite them with the ones you need.
This has been covered elsewhere on the forums.
Cheers

hi, i have been llokin for this thread but couldnt find anywhere..can u give me a link ?
cheers, cudo
is there any other way to "activate" true vga on universal ?
Don't use the VGA files from Ozvga, there are files on the XDA developers ftp site (I think they are in an archive called VGA_AKU2.zip). This has the sdkcerts.cab file and a folder called windows. I have the contents of this archive and ozvga sotred on my SD card and whenever I hard reset or upgrade the ROM I run sdkcerts.cab and use total commander on the phone (I suppose resco would do the same job if you have it installed) to copy the windows folder to the root filesystem of the phone, it will complain that there is a folder called windows there already but just hit OK to copy over it, it won't replace any critical files. You can run ozvga from the SD card but I tend to copy it into main sotrage so that if I swap cards its always available.
OR better yet, search the darn forum before you do ANYTHING to your Universal. Not like I haven't posted the same thing over and over.

Hi all, and happy new year,
I'm looking for a PDF reader (i already have adobe reader 2.5 installed and tried some others too) that enable us to click on a link inside a PDF and redirect us to that link.
The thing is : i have many PDF files inside a folder (manuals from my company), and (for example) inside pdf file a.pdf ,cliking on the link "link to B.Pdf" opens the pdf B.
I think it works in the same way as webpage hyperlinking inside a pdf.
Any pdf reader can easily do it inside Vista or Xp or any normal computer. However i've found none for a PDA...
Thanks for ur help.
ps: I'm not sure I posted in the right section (didn't find any appropriate one), so sorry if it's not. I really need an answer though. thanks.
I've had the DAF WP7 rom for about a month now..works pretty great after doing some registry tweaks. Anyway, I've put together this ebook (.epub format) and emailed it to myself and downloaded the ebook attachment from my gmail, and I downloaded an ebook/epub reader (Freda) from the Marketplace to see if the format was correct--to test the epub on my HD2. But when I launched Freda, the only ebooks that are displayed in the Bookshelf are the ones that came with the app..
I looked around in Touchxplorer to see if I could find my epub so I could try to copy and paste it to the root folder to see if Freda would be able to then find and load them, but the only thing by way of an email attachment I was able to find was in this folder.. APPLICATION DATA/VOLATILE/EMAIL ATTACHMENTS .. but the attachments I had downloaded were displayed as .DAT files--I don't know what this means..data files?--anyway, they won't open and I doubt Freda could recognize them anyway, even if I were to copy and paste them in root folder..
Anybody have any idea how I can find the files I've downloaded from my email as attachments? I noticed the first day I flashed the rom that the Storage Card in Touchxplorer wasn't a folder but just a file (I think it's a .DAT file also), so I guess the 16GB card I have in the phone is pretty useless? That sucks, but I at least want to be able to download files (besides pictures, those work fine) and be able to access them.
Thanks!

Generally the emailing of an attachment will only work if you can open the attachment in a WP7 application like Adobe or Excel. I have found that once downloaded and opened the file is visible and available from the application. For example, if you email a pdf file and open it, it is available when you open Acrobat, even after you delete the email.
For a file that cannot be directly run by a WP7 application, you are out of luck using email because it cannot be opened and there is no option to save it.

Maybe send the .epub to Freda for publishing and download it from the catalogue.
Or find the source code for Freda (it's out there somewhere) and use that to modify either your file or the program???
I'm not sure TouchXplorer (in WP7) sees any SD Card in any other way than a .dat file.
According to all the posts and literature the SD Card and the internal memory in WP7 at least, are in practice one and the same.
>Settings>about, to see how much Available Storage you have. Anything resembling a figure near to your SD Capacity means the SD Card is working and being read as expected by WP7.

I think that this might be the only way I can go.. I just want to load up my epub so I can preview the formatting and layout and make sure everything looks okay.
Thanks for the link!

Not sure if I'd be able to modify the Freda source code, or even to what end.. I got this XAP (don't remember what it's called just now) and on the opening page it had a lot of info about my device and the amount of free storage was around 12 or 13 GB, so I think that the ROM is using my SD card.. ah well, these ROMs are pretty new and I'm sure the devs will really surprise us with the features they can implement.
Thanks for the info buddy..
could you just rename the file type from DAT to epub? that's what I do when I want to read mobi on kindle app
To get an EPUB onto your phone for reading with Freda, put the EPUB into a DropBox folder, an OPDS catalog (for instance by running Calibre on your PC), or onto a web-site. Freda can fetch EPUB files from any of those locations.
