I need help for test and idea to insert
bye

nobody have tried my program?

I'm very curious about your program, but unfortunately during this time I am using mostly the bike instead of car, so I cannot test it
However the idea seems good, sometimes I use the TomTom Only for Autovelox POI, so this could be a viable alternative
[ITALIAN: ON]
Sono molto curioso al riguardo, ma purtroppo in questo periodo sto usando più la bici che la macchina, quindi non ho molto tempo per provarlo
Comunque l'Idea non mi pare male, a volte uso il TomTOM solo per gli Autovelox, quindi questo potrebbe essere una valida alternativa
[ITALIAN: OFF]

Hi,
good news
I have created a new versione of program with the possibility to show the position in the map.
The program download the online map from microsoft and cache it for use also off-line, you can also download maps from a position to another
I have also create a desktop program that can download the map, the downloaded maps are in the folder MapCache\VirtualEarthMapSession , copy the maps in the same folder of pocket pc
this version is a beta and don't have for now a cab installer, please send me information about bug.

In Pocket Plus, are repeating alarms working properly for you? I can't get it working, whatever I set in clock&alarms, it overrides pocket plus settings.

Hi,
Installed magic button, 2 times, the first time it didnt seem to work, anyways seems to work, but do i have to go to programs to start the program each time?
It seems at start up and when programs are opened, magic button doesnt seem to work unless i start it first.
thanks
hi, you must go to settings and configure autostart on soft reset, do it
regards
I ve read somewhere else that pocket plus 3 was not compatible with HTC wizard, causing a freez when soft resetting the device. User has to do a hard reset and reinstall all his stuff.
Any of you guys get this behaviour when installing/using pocketplus ?
sorry can you be specific as to where exactly i need to go. settings, personal? i dont see any autostart or softreset option anywhere.

Help/aiuto GpsTuner 5

Ciao a tutti ... ho un problema strano: (non di funzionamento del programma) ma del fatto che quando lo lancio, lo uso tranquillamente poi quando è il momento di chiuderlo mi rimane attivo il task tra i processi (e mi occupa ben 16MB di memoria)... e naturalmente non è possibile chiuderlo...
L'unico modo di "pulirlo" dalla memoria è ahime il soft reset...

Conoscete qualche alternativa ??

Hello to all… I have a strange problem: when use the program and then I close it, me it remains active the task between the processes (and it occupies to me very 16MB of memory)… and naturally it is not possible to close it… The only way “to clean up it” from the memory is the soft reset…
Do you know any solution ????
Thank you
I Had the same problem, use X-button application from HTC.
It works very well.

Nothing ... also with X-button the program gpstuner.exe remain in memory ...
There isn't a way for close it....
I had only do a soft reset ....
GPSTuner quit
Go to GPS panel (tap satellite dish icon far r.h.s., bottom)
Tap satellite dish icon again to get Settings
Tap white cross in red circle just under normal Windows Mobile "x"
I emailed the author with the problem, even after going through Memory/Running Programs and selecting Stop for GPSTuner, memory was not freed up. He suggested the latest version of .Net Compact Framework needed installing but I discovered the above in the meantime. I don't think it is mentioned anywhere in the manual!

Possible buyer needing your comments..

Hi!
I am evaluating to buy an HTC Advantage (second hand, of cour$e). I'm a former Nokia N800 owner, and finally I've decided to sell it because I was unable to get full use because of the lack of professional PIM soft. Despite that, was a nice tablet, web browsing was pretty good and video capability was also nice. Again, the lack of useful soft was deathly for me. My questions here (I hope no bother with my silly questions) are:
a) As I was reading, there is no way to attach the Advantge to my pc to easy transfer songs, movies and others files. AFAIK that should be done thru Activesync or an application that enables the HTC act as mass storage (as I was reading, not very easy to use by the way). Is there any other option that easily let me just connect the htc to my pc and just drag and drop files?
b) I was reading a lot of post here and in others forums and I am really concerned about the video playback performance...I am not very demanding regarding video quality, just want to see a movie or clip just fine, with no video audio synchronization problems.
c) Is the gps useless if I can't pay for any service? (This is my first gps device)
d) The htc that probably I will buy will have the rom in english; Is it possible to install it in spanish? or at least, any other option to change the dialogs and menues in spanish?
e)What is the experience with streaming radio? Can you play any internet radio stream or is there problems with some of them?...What about Youtube video playback?
Thanks in advance, I really will appreciate your time if you can answer my questions.
If somebody want to know something about the N800/N810, I have a year of "experience" using it, and I can give an honest, non very techy opinion, just as normal user. Thanks again.
Music: You can sync with Activesync... Windows Media play lists and libraries can be transferred automatically. Drag and drop works fine too and is enabled using Activesync.
Video: Video is adequate for playback. People are whining because they didn't implement advanced features of the chipset.
GPS: GPS signals are available globally free of charge. People pay for advance map services. Google and Microsoft both provide excellent mapping tools at no charge. They lack the voice prompts and some of the other bells and whistles of the purchased apps, but work quite well.
Language: Localized languages are available but I have not messed with this.
Streaming media: Internet radio and Youtube work fine with the correct apps installed.
I've owned a few HTC products and have been very happy with them. Good luck!
Thanks for the info . I guess with more search on forums I will discover the codecs collection that are a must have.
I quite often just transfer cabs,movies,pics and other files from my host pc
to the 7501 via bluetooth,host pc uses usb plug-in bluetooth unit.
Video playback via native or Coreplayer is adjustable mine works great.
GPS free programs are a dime a dozen and if you can pickup an older
(2003-2006) Microsoft street/trips or MapPoint they come with pocket
pc apps and work with the onboard GPS receiver.Satellite use is free.
Youtube is viewable with right apps,check here on xda.
The phone works well although it sometimes proves cumbersome
when compared to some of the small cellphones.
The camera is ok but nothing to write home about,takes a fair pic
under the right conditions and is quite adjustable.
Many apps that run on 2003ce and WM5 run just fine
on 7501 under WM6 Pro.
Thanks bigtsr! You can't imagine how helpful are your comments.
I can assure that browsing thru differents forums, reviews, etc etc is an stressful task. I am almost decided to buy the Advantage, I felt in love with that gorgeous screen, and as times goes my eyes are demanding big screens (that was another problem with my N800).
Are you happy with the Advantage overall? I read a lot of people telling how much they are enjoying their units and how productive tool on the road it could be.
The software offer for the wm platform is incredible huge, what apps do you consider as "should have"?
You're right about the wide choice of software available on WM platform. These are some of my top picks :
- wktask (for task switching and a battary indicator)
- realVGA (must have)
- Tengo 2.1 keyboard or Tengo Thumb, depending on whether you're a stylus or thumb man.
- Softmaker office 2008 (gives you desktop functionalities in word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation)
- SPB phone suite (a today plugin that allows you to change phone profile, a comm manager, photo dialing, mail/text/phone notification)
- SPB time (a today plugin that gives you a big digital clock, time for multiple city, alarm clock, stop watches, etc)
- SBSH Pocke Weather (puts a multiday weather forecast on your today screen. I like this particular weather program because it has weather stations of not just major cities but also lesser known towns. Also, it takes up very little space on the today screen)
- iLauncher (program launcher that provides SAFE mode reset. Get you out of trouble at times when the option would otherwise be a hard reset)
- Total Commander - file manager
- Cash Organiser premium (expense tracking, budgeting)
- HiCalc (multifunction calculator)
- Netfront 3.5 and Opera 9.5405 are the two top browsers at the moment.
- Resco Photo Viewer
- TCPMP with all the codecs
- iGO is the favourite GPS software
- Agendus Professional is my favourite software for calendar functions.
- VITO SMS-Chat is what I use for sending SMS
- VITO Contacts is my replacement for contact applications.
- For VOIP, I use SJPhone.
- I use WMWifiRouter to make my Athena a wifi access point for my notebook occassionally.
- GoogleMap is a cool GPS application that is free and gives you basic navigational capabilities.
- I use IM+ for internet chat.
- I use Sprite backup 6.1 and schedule my backup everyday with it.
- SKtools is a useful tools for tweaking your device.
- My favourite dictionary is Lexisgoo english dictionary
- For investement and trading, try MetaTrader 4 mobile
- Resco Keyboard works in all three DPI and does not invade your screen too much.
- SIP change is a utility that allows you to change your input method easily
- WM5torage lets you copy files high speed to and from your PC.
These are not all, but the main ones that you might want to take a look.
Cheers.
I'm at a bit of a loss as to why you think it is difficult to transfer files from your PC. With ActiveSDync on XP or WMDC on Vista, when you plug your phone in it just shows up as another drive and you can drag and drop to your hearts content.
Music can be synced directly from WMP including playlists and your contacts and outlook details sync automatically to Outlook.
WM5Storage is only needed for PCs that don't have WMDC or Activesync or for high speed transfer.
If you're loking for a PIM addition to Outlook then try Pocket Informant which is one of the many beniffits you get for free if you head over to www.modaco.com and pay to be a Plus member (the fee will be saved many times over in the free benefits)
Good luck
PS I prefer CoPilot 7 to iGo for GPS navigation
@eaglesteve: thanks for such a list of must have apps! I can assure that the lack of productive, professional developed apps on the Maemo platform used by the N8X0 is frustrating for those like me who want to do more than listen music, see a video or surf the web; and after a time since the N800 was released, no much changes about. There are people running kde on their tablets but I found it not very handy at all. It's a shame because the N8X0 series has the potential, but Nokia IMHO has left the whole tablet project kinda abandoned.I know beforehand that WM has the positive side of lots of apps out there,also the negative , is not a great platform regarding speed and optimal processor's use. I think also, only people involved in servers maintenance or technical work related with computers are really being productive with the soft available for the Nseries. The rest of us are suffering that poor software offer; and I should tell you, only for browsing and multimedia there are better options you can go (ipod touch may be the choice).
If I can get decent (just decent) browsing with the Advantage, decent (just decent) music and video playback and decent radio streamings capability, I will be ok. I don't really care about the phone aspects, I not intend to use it as a phone, and regarding the size, I will be ok with that. Maybe you can think "if this guy don't use the Advantage as a phone, why are he thinking in buy it; maybe he can go for the new ipaq 211"..simply because the Advantage's screen size and the keyboard, which is not great but is a keyboard anyway. And the gps is a nice extra too!!
@ Confucious: It will be my first experience with WM devices. My only pda ever was a palm like 15 years ago, and a hp lx95 or something like that (can't remember exactly the model), so I was scared about the activesync because never used it before
Thank you friends for your time to coming back for me!
Remember, some other features are "hideen" but are important too.
4 in 1 cable means you have your desktop PC everywere you have a monitor!
Connect TV or VGA out, bring a "mini mouse" with retractable cable...
Having a big 5' screen and using logmein.com (free) and a good data plan you are connected with YOUR home or office PC and you can work with youy XP or Vista
standard 3.5 earphone plug means for me... BOSE
DOUBLE storage (SD an Microdrive) is important in some condtions (if you have to remove your SD you can move the data on your microdrive) and using USB HOST you can copy from and to USB storage
Big means big battery, no problems in a long day using it, comparing with all other WM phones
and many others...

Thanks for the info! I am almost decided to buy the Advantage! $650 for a new unit is a good price? It comes with a freebie, a 2gb mini sdcard.
As per the cards, is there any not recommended brand? (I've read that sandisk is the better option...not kingston). The unit only takes minisd or microsd with the minisd adaptor, that's correct?
And finally, the vga output for external monitor connection is included from factory right? The 4 in 1 cable is the only option to have usb host mode?
Thanks all you folks for waste your time on me and my questions
I think I've started to feel like one Advantage owner, so....
Hi,
I am a (proud and) satisfied owner of a used with warranty (got it for ~530) X7501 since 2 weeks.
So your price for a new one is good I think.
My 2 cents after 2 weeks usage and tweaking (unlocked, using right now PK 3 dual rom)(moved up from HTC Wizard) what I don't like until now and need to tweak more (everything else is fantastic):
- Video performance
- Find a smaller case just for the unit
- Syncing via different connections to different PCs
- battery live (will get a spare and additional charger)
Otherwise with the level of tweaking and thanks to the great folks here it is much more flexible than the IPhone.

I don't know in US, but here with 430€ (650 USD) you can buy HALF Advantage!
Yes, mini or micro +adapter
Yes, VGA is included, Yes,4-1 to have USB
Ok, thanks again for the feedback. I will be in contact as soon as I can get the HTC on my hands.
Final question by now: as I've read, the realvga soft let's you change the language interface, is that correct? (Because the htc I'm going to get is from USA and I am spanish speaker). (If yes, that would be great, instead of put another rom)

Hola, ya veo que tambien hablas español asi que vamos por partes, yo tengo mi advantage hace unos meses y he tenido la oportunidad de jugar con ella bastante.
Para la parte de transferir los archivos a la pc se que no siempre se dispone a la mano de una pc con active sync, yo pr ejemplo soy instructor y debo de pasarles algunos archivos a mis estudiantes y muchos en sus equipos no tienen active sync, en este caso puedes usar las utilerias de USBV setting el cual permite que el telefono se vea como un sistema de almacenamiento, sin problema, otra alternativa es USB disk , en cualquiera de los dos casos ninguno me ha causado problemas, ya en situaciones mas extrictas siempre cargo como llavero un minilector de tarjetas SD y asi no hay pc que se resista.
El video he jugado bastante con el y le he puesto varios videos, el desempeño no es muy bueno si tratas de poner un video con la maxima calidad, pero un video en MP4 con una calidad muy buena se ve perfectamente bien y sin problemas usando CORE player, ahi lo que debes de cuidar es la forma en como codificas los videos para que no sean muy pesados.
La antena de GPS ya esta integrada solamente necesitas algun programa que la use y que tenga los mapas de la ciudad en la que vives o a donde vayas a ir, en mi caso uso el programa Destinator y funciona bastante bien.
Como bien decias en otro post el programa Real VGA puede cambiar los idiomas de los menus en español, lo he manejado y funciona bien y pone en español los menus y mensajes del celular aunque algunos programas que esten en ingles seguiran en ingles.
la parte del radio por internet y el Youtube te la debo porque aun no he jugado con ellas.
En si el equipo me ha funcionado perfectamente bien y la gente de este site es muy amable y servicial y los ROMs que hacen funcionan muy muy bien, si te animas no te vas a arrepentir, la mayoria de los programas que te mencione los puedes encontrar aqui en los foros nomas hay que rascarle tantito.
Saludos y buena suerte.
Sorry to the rest of the people for writing in spanish but I could'n resist to do it.
Perhaps you ought to be asking more about battery life and weight/size of X7500
N800 is *much* better in both areas
Also web browsing on the N800 is much "snappier", WM6 device will feel slower/not as nice.
I had one, sold it, and now I want it back badly.
would definitely recommend it as the best WM device I've had. I havent playes on an n800, but i heard its very very fast. but i guess its designed to be a net tablet so it should be.
and defnintely install all the software eaglesteve suggested, even though its a long list, it will still easily fit on your rom, you wont even need to use the MD.
Have fun with your advantage, i wish I was buying one
Rory
Eh guys, thanks a lot for your useful comments...
I tell you I've made a decission, so the Advantage is coming to my house (maybe it will be here by the next week )
@miguel_acedo: Gracias amigo por tus consejos y tu disposicion a compartir experiencias. Me gustaria seguir conversando contigo respecto al advantage (en español jeje) pero este no es el sitio adecuado, asi que si tenes forma haceme llegar tu mail o pm.
@rorydaredkign: hope you have one again soon!
@mardibloke: As I told in my first post, the N800 Nokia tablet was my previous "gadget" and I sold it, mainly because it was unable to give me productivity on the go; the lack of real pim soft plus no ms office at all (despite some attemps to get gnumeric and abiword work on it) was killer for me. I am a CPA, so, in my "working world" office is a major need. I don't think the battery life of the N8X0 series would be greater than the Advantage, and regarding the size, I was playing with a hard cardboard replica of the Advantage and feels fine, and because I should have with me an attache all day long is not a major problem in that area. I know beforehand that browsing experience could be worst with a WM device, but again, I need to trade off some things to gain some others, and the huge soft offer for WM devices, plus ms office compatibility is in my particular case a big plus. I have owned lots of mini pcs, subnotebooks or whatever you want to call it (to name a few vaio picturebook, fujitsu p1120, casiopea fiva, sony pcg-u1 (oh that sloooow crusoe´s) libretto's (100 and L1) eee pc (just hold it a month) Kohjinsha SA1 (Very nice mini laptop, but with a terrible keyboard!!)and so...yes, I know, I'm nuts, I'm an incurable ..always looking for the perfect portable, no full satisfaction but have had good times using and selling them...I was keeping my eye on the Flipstart too (after price was reduced to $700), but mainly because of the screen resolution I dismissed it (my eyes are not so good at my 40´s). I don't believe tha Advantage will be the one, but just want to give it a try...so funny times are coming, and only the time can tell..I should tell you that I've found that, in my case, I need to own a full laptop (already own one 14") and complement it with other that provides me instant access and portability..and again, maybe the Advantage can fill that gap. Ah, sorry for my english, poor Shakespeare!

Installation:
- Copy the cab to the terminal and install

Download the file has been fattened to 5Mb just to get points den rapidshare, the cab is really just about 100kb. For users who have problems with Rapid, I create another smaller mirror, but if you can please use the download of 5MB as I provide Rapid points.
Thanks to my friends to do the tests: Franlov (Diamond and Omnia), Xuo (Polaris), JCespi2005 (Touch Pro) and I have tested in Niki, Elf and Prophet.

The Spanish speakers are lucky that is already built into ROM in Spanish for Prophet, Niki, Elf / Elfin, Polaris and Touch Pro. And in the very near to Herald, Kaiser and Diamond.
TO DO (For next versions):
- Traslate error test to english.
- Add options to set activation mode.
- Add force show Modes.
- Add option for close manila mode, to reelase RAM (but will be slow)
- Release more RAM when close Manila3D.
- More traslations for othes.

Can't wait, to test it. The videos showing, what we can expect. YEAH
This looks really neat! Cant wait to test it!
Looks great! Nice, easy integration of the classic Today screen with TF3D/2D.
I remember seeing a video of this program some time ago, and I've been waiting for it ever since. Can't wait!
yeah ! many thanks for developing this will definitely try it out
good to hear ... but for manipulating the home screen of m2d or m3d is existing ... and we'll be public in some days .... maybe tomorrow ..
what is this qvga tf3d?new version?
Very nice! Can't wait to check it out.
my FUZE will be thankful upon the release of this!

I have not tried it, but it is possible to solve this problem by incorporating the functions.

Hello friends, I present to you an application that many are expecting, "Manila Control" also known as M3D control or M2D Control.
It's a simple program that allows us to switch between 2D or 3D Manila and the "Today" of Windows. Allows you to set our screen "Today" with our favorite plugins and Manila also used simultaneously.

looks great, this is definitely an app that I would use. Looking forward to a release
now this is something I'd like to see.
great software control; good luck for this first release
very good idea!
Hope it will be avable soon!
Excellent job Mastsogo
Hey man,
that is a really great idea!!!
Could you add a function, that it TF3D in QVGA is enabled, that there is a function like the auto standby in windows mobile.
Cause there is the standby issue with ported TF3D on some devices. I thought about something like this:
If TF3D enabled and no user action is recognized for time x
then disable tf3d and go to standby.
At wake up reenable TF3D.
That would be great and it would make TF3D on my kaiser ready for every day use
If you need someone for testing, just PM me.
i hop sleep mo d fixes and start menu problems w

Exactly! On Kaisers with TF3D when we hit the power button maybe that generates a Mortscript to switch to HTC Home then sleep, as the issue (I think) is with TF3D gaining focus of all windows.
Although I have heard also that this is not the case and its the OpenGL drivers themselves that does not allow the device to sleep.
Looks great.
Let's wait

....are you kidding?
That's one basic function of windows mobile, and if you ever need to look for an appointment in the past ("when did I see that person last in my office?"), or for a phone number in your contact ("who's this number who called me on the other phone?"), what are you going to use? That cannot be removed, absolutely
Anyway, I suggest removing also the "Azioni" tab with economical quotations.
Also in my opinion could be removed the following:
cleanram
bsbtweaks
htc flashlight
jblend
bubble breaker
internet explorer (is that possible? opera is better)
windows media (is that possible? coreplayer/tcpmp are better)
xdashutdown
All these applications could be reinstalled if you need; since everyone needs to install already a lot of cabs after every flash, these cabs can be easily added to the list. Also, installing these apps yourself, you can see them in the "remove applications" dialogue, so it's easier to update them
remove:
-streaming Media
-advtaskmg
-bsb
-pim bacup
-shake and save
-windows live
-internet explorer
-htc flash ligt
-Tab Azioni
-Footprint
BUT:don't remove tab document!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Only READER!!!!!!!!!!!!
ADD:
-New opera
-facebook tab
CHG:
-Xda shutdown skin

I almost agree with your remove list... but it makes no sense to leave document tab. That tab is already remove in simple "axlor lite", so it must be also removed in axlor Xlite...
Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace opera 9.7 with opera 10. If you keep opera 9.7 in the rom, and install also opera 10, there are at least 7MB wasted because you cannot remove opera 9.7 if it's cooked inside.
Or maybe, remove opera alltogether, so anyone can choose to install his favourite, and can remove it afterwards from "remove applications" if needed
Also, I used footprints once... maybe it's not that useless, but if there is a free alternative application that does the same thing and is not included in the manila, maybe is better, otherwise probably it's better to keep it
The concept of an XLite version is this: remove everything that is possible to remove, so you have the maximum possible free space. After that, you can install all the applications you need by yourself, but in that case you have those applications listed in "remove apps" and can more easily manage them.
Will you use default iconset in this XLite?

Totally agree with you: removing search function is MADNESS
Anyway, I suggest removing also the "Azioni" tab with economical quotations i agree... eventually Twitter tab also if is possibile.
cleanram totally agree
bsbtweaks totally agree
htc flashlight sometime useful, but if can be installed via cab is better to remove
jblend sometime useful, but if can be installed via cab is better to remove
bubble breaker totally agree
internet explorer (is that possible? opera is better i think IE cannot be removed, but integrate Opera 10 with flash builtin instead 9.7 can be a good option)
windows media but i think Media Player cannot be removed
xdashutdown almost essential

I've inserted my opionions in quote (green: i agree - red disagree)
Imho it's a good idea to leave the Memory card format utility also.
Removing Office and Remote desktop is not a good idea for me
The best option is to remove only programs provided also via standard cab installer, making this the first "customized by users" rom, like a tailored tuxedo
removing also pim backup, shake and save,windows live it's a god idea.
It's better does not remove Facebook application if can breake the Manila facebook integration function. It's also better do not integrate Facebook Manila tab... better to wait netx more feature rich release: at this moment is a duplicate of Facebook contacts tab

Diciamo che andiamo molto d'accordo
I think too that the most things you can remove, the better, as long as you can install them with cabs.
XDAShutdown is one of those things, there's the cab for it... and believe me, I never use it I just have installed touchx powerbutton actionscreen and I reset from there.
Regarding office mobile... I think there's a cab for that as well, and if you can install just excel and word, then you can save space on powerpoint... maybe I even need just excel, as I never do text processing on the phone.
Also, adobe reader could be removed, probably there are smaller pdf readers around....
Regarding the tabs, if you can add them with mods without cooking them in... then let's remove them as well Especially "Azioni"
Probably it would be a good idea to also remove tom autoinstall (if it's installed and cooked in the internal memory). Anyone can add the program himself to install all the cabs; also, not everyone uses tom autoinstall, me for example, I use Sashimi, which is already installed on my sdcard
pls dont remove
please DONT remove flashlight and shutdown .. this is MUST!
Hi Ale ! Good idea!

Some people are just not suited for this version of the ROM.
If you want htc flashlight, xdashutdown, program X, Y and Z, then just download and flash Axlor Full or Axlor Lite.
Axlor XLite is, as the name says, Extra-lite, and contains the least possible number of applications, so if you want something, you install it yourself after flashing.
Hi Ale! If you want:
WOW!!!!!

thanks a lot Antonio
