Enable GPS without flashing ROM? - Shift General

dug a bit but was unable to find anything on enabling GPS without flashing a new ROM, I have a CDMA shift and there is no hard spl yet.
Just want to get GPS going on the XP side.
Thanks
G

Yes and no.
I already posted drivers as cab in the dev forum. But drivers are quite device specific, so they might not work on yours.

Do you know the cab file name? I am willing to gove it a try.
Thanks
G

Do not on CDMA
I have already attempted this action on my CDMA shift this is certain to lock your device you can recover but requires a factory reset

Have the HTCTouch and the HTCShift the same Quallcomm MSM7500 processor?
Because may be we can use the same gps drivers from the Vogue
is it possible?

Cook WIMP in Rom

I finally bought the software package of WIMP (Where is My Phone) and I read somewhere that it is possible to 'cook' the program into the rom so when the thief does a Hard Reset it stays into the phone so I can always retrieve it. Only the tutorials I have found aren't useable on the Touch HD (Blackstone).
Does anyone has a tutorial to cook WIMP into the Rom of the Touch HD, or maybe another program like WIMP which I can use and cook?
Have you got it to autostart on your phone?? Atleast that is what i am trying to do, but no luck still, do you have a "howto"? Without autostarting the program is basically useless
I have also been looking into this type of thing.

This is for UTA instead... but i guess the same would apply.

Thank you for the link, but in this link they are referring to a different Rom than the standard HTC rom. I want to know if it's possible to cook it in the standard HTC Rom. I can't test is, because it will need an hard reset to test, and an hard reset is the last I want
Is there someone who could test it for me?
Thanks in advance.

Urgent! Please Help..TouchFlo 3D Error?

hi experts here,
when i go to Today to disable my touchflo 3D and click OK. It prompt me an error, "A problem has occured with manile.exe." If i go to Today and enable again the Touchflo, the TouchFlo failed to launch, i need to do a softreset , only then the TouchFlow will come back.
What is wrong?Did anyone encouter this error also?
do i need to hardreset my HD?
Do you need/have you done the HTC hotfix?

yes... i just done the hotfix last night. but, before that, i never tried to disable the touchflo. but, i don think the hotfix will screw up this ,right?
the application i have installed as below:
1. HD Tweak
2. G-alarm
3. Touchpal 3.5
4. Resco explorer 2008
5. .net 3.5 framework
6. ce-star
7. some games
is it possible because of some application above crash with the touchflow? but seems like those application i installed is quite common to hd.
My first suspect would be .net, have you installed the .net config tool, I would try that first.
If not check with other HDTweak users if they can disable and enable Touch Flo.

i haven install any application or make any tweak when i disable the touchflo..crap....
what i should do now? i already done the hardreset.....
Before you install anything, install the HTC hotfix, see if that solves it.
Does it still happen if you remove the SD card as well?

I'd do another hard reset just in case, and if it still doesn't work perhaps upgrading to the newer 1.19ROM might do the trick (and not cost you your warranty)
Edit:
scratch that, upgrading means hard spl and that's non-standard

Alex, what's the version of your ROM? May be those with the same ROM version as yours could do a test and see if that also happen to theirs. Your problem could not be produced in my device.

There is a way to revert back to the original. If you don't try, you will never know which ROM is better, will you?

Rogers G1

I just got my hands on the new G1 that's been marketed for the Canadian provider Rogers. The phone doesn't get released till wednesday.
It runs the 1.5 firmware (customized for the Rogers brand).
Wondering if anyone is interested in a dump off this phone.
Yes we are interested in a dump of that freaking phone
Please dump I will be glad to give it haykuro if you cant get in contact with him
What's the big thing about the Rodgers G1? Been hearing a lot about it on here.
It's an "official" version ROM with the HTC custom applications like Exchange. Kind of like Haykuro's 6.0, but fully working.
I'd like to know the same thing.... who says it's running anything different than the vanilla cupcake ROM?

Rogers is claiming that it's HTC branded firmware. I'm sure the OP can confirm. It's definitely not Rosie, that stuff is unreleased alpha-quality code.
I believe it's been confirmed numerous times that it has exchange from HTC since it's not a "with Gooogle" phone.
sadly every dialog is suffixed with ',eh' - all occurances of 'about' have been replaced with 'aboot,' and the 'ou' naming scheme has been implemented for words like colour.

Correct. There is no mention of "Google" anywhere on the phone. I've attached a few pictures.
But since I'm a noob at the whole android thing, I need some help dumping this ROM.
- From the searching I've done, I'm guessing that Nandroid 2.0 is the tool to use?
- Do I need root access to do a ROM dump?
Any idiot proof guides out there I can use to get this done for you guys?

Yeah it's going to need rooted for a full dump. Does it have fastboot? (power + camera)
But we also know what most of this firmware is going to be like, you can probably get away with an "adb pull /system system" and get us most of the stuff we need to start hacking on it.

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't the HardSPL allow for any ROM to be loaded?

give somw details
whats the scoop hows 6.5 whats the difference? fill me in case if i download i cant go back to 6.1
Thanks for the link. It worked fine for me, and didn't take very long. 6.5 uses a lot more memory than did 6.1, but no problems.

hmm, I thought 6.5 would take a windows 7 effect giving you more features with less required resources...I cant wait for the official to come out for Sprint...

The differences between WM6.1 and WM6.5 are worthwhile, in my opinion...but better resource utilization isn't one of the benefits.
Disclaimer: My opinion of "worthwhile" may be different than others...but I can't imagine anyone preferring 6.1 over 6.5 unless minimum resource-utilization is their primary criterion.
Hey guys,
Possibley an ignorant question but this is my first window mobile device. Despite searching there is just too much info for me to figure it out on my own.
Is this a good version of WM 6.5 to update my UNLOCKED Touch Pro 2 with or will it re-lock my phone to T-mobile? I am in Canada am currently on the Fido network.
Also I am running WM 6.1 currently and have never upgraded a phone before.
I appreciate everyone's helpful advice.
Thanks,
Dan
So what happens to all my purchased apps? Do they transfer over? Coreplayer for example, I paid like 30 bucks for that. Would I lose it if I go to 6.5??

If you got a serial number, you probably are covered. But you might want to contact vendor first to make sure.

I haven't had a problem so far (with many different roms flashed). The paid-for apps accept the same "key" or serial number as I've used before.
Of course...that doesn't mean that all apps-companies are as nice....so yeah, might want to check first.

Well I don't think so... I tried with my lumia 630 build 10586, and it doesn't work.
But you still can try it yourself: http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10/windows-10-mobile/test-build-10572-t3241559
NOTE: don't change it more than 305!!! An user said that even if you change it to 1024 (I mean 1GB) it will use only 305!!
Leave a like if I helped you.

Areas of interest to change are:

PhoneHardwareVariant=
Make sure you write down or take a screenshot of original values first. Change to what you need.
I got this from here XDA, and other sites. Do some searching. You'll find what you need. And you mean ROM, right? If not, then my bad. lol. :good:
