[app] Google Maps Mobile 3.0.1.6 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hey now.
Here I go again posting the newest release of GMM which I do because you can't download the damn thing unless you've rolled back to the old PIE which I did for this purpose alone. It's called 3.0.1.6, similar in numerical overtones to the last one, 3.0.1.5, but the last number is a notch higher which means, well, I don't know what it means because I can't find any damn release notes. Don't even know when was released -- sometime between ten minutes ago and last Sunday. Since I'm adding another thread, might as well throw you a Stevie Ray Vaughn lick I cut up with Sound Recorder.
Google, if you're listening, and this goes for the rest of you developers here, would it kill you to add apptodate support to your software? C'mon fellas!

Here u go dude;
You can get the Binary from the url below - should save u some retrofit time on your device.

3014 had them though didn't it?

@fards:
Only recall seeing Latitude in 3.0.1.4 - wasn't looking "too hard" for StreetView, Walking Directions, or the Contacts context menu. Had the video not been on their website, I would not have bothered with this version.
Good thing d0ugie staying on top of these things.

wait, is this OEM only for the Raphael?
and...it looks like its only for the visual kitchen?? i've never seen an OEM with that structure before, and i have never used the visual kitchen before. hmm...

I have no problem downloading googlemaps cab from m.google/maps with my 6.5 PIE, if I select menu/view/mobile. Im running 6.5 verson 21222 on my FUSE

Yes, the previous version has Street Maps and Walking Directions, well as Transit, etc.
I haven't seen the changelog for this particular version yet, it's never real obvious how to find. I looked at the Google Mobile blog and there's nothing there except iPhone yammering.

Should work on any device. I place it in the Raphael OEM Repository as I am not aware of a *central* repository for the XDA community ... doesn't mean there isn't one, I just don't know about it.
The Raphael OEM repository is divided into two sections - one for Legacy Kitchen (PkgToolsBuildOS) and one for the new Visual Kitchen.
HTH,

it may be something else causing it, but 3016 does appear to be rendering streetview a bit quicker than 014

WordNetCE

Hi All,
Well I've kicked off my first windows mobile project with a progam I call "WordNetCE". If anyone is familiar with Princeton University's program called WordNet you will know you can use it as a brilliant dictionary/thesaurus, amongst other things that are beyond a normal human's intelligence.
One thing I've found lacking for Pocket PC is a decent free dictionary/thesaurus, so I've set out to make one based upon WordNet which is free to distribute from Princeton. A person named Malcolm Crowe did the original .NET port for WordNet 1.6, so I modified it to work with the new WordNet 2.0 dictionary, as well as with the Pocket PC platform (it wasn't all copy & paste...).
It's free to download from http://www.ebswift.com/PocketPC/WordNet/.
Note though that I have only just barely kicked this project off, but the dictionary side of things is operating. You will find much of the other functionality isn't working, but will come online soon.
Please check it out and start giving me some feedback. Thanks.
Just fixed up a lot more of the functionality - it's more useable compared to what it was before if anyone had a chance to look. A couple of buttons are still not complete, as with most of the main menu, but it can do about 20 times more than what it could this morning.
Look very promising!
Just one question: Is it mandatory to store the WordNet database onto a storage card, or can I store it on internal RAM too?

At the moment it's mandatory, but there's no reason why I can't add an option. Not many people will be able to use main memory because the database is ~over~ 30 meg!

I wonder why? I'm using the T-Mobile 4.01.16 ROM on an XDA 1 and installed the CAB with no problems. Are you using an XDA 2? I'm not sure if there's any difference with the CAB installers between XDA1/2, or maybe there's corruption in the download file, I'll check tomorrow. VS.NET outputs CAB's for all the difference PPC processors, so I'll put them up ASAP to cover other devices than the XDA1.
Thanks for the feedback
Here's a screenshot that's also on the website :

I'm really sorry about that, my download algorithm had a response.end, so a "Thread Aborted" was being tagged onto any download. Changing that to Response.Flush seems to have fixed it, at least for that cab file.
Please give it another go, I do appologise for coming up with such a thread with a screwed download.

Hey man, no appologies needed. Great work, thanks for the great freeware. It worked great.
Thanks Iggy. Bear with me for a few minutes if there's any problem with the download, I'm just writing some referrer protection into downloads. It won't take long.
===OK, the referrer protection is finished and it's all working again...
I just uploaded a version I call 0.5 because it's 0.5% finished. Compared to the version since I posted last in this thread there's some major bugfixes; the adjective and adverb menus now correctly show, and there's versions for different processors.

sorry ebswift, the download links don't seem to work, and once you have fixed them what is the difference between arm & arm4 (xda ii maybe). let me know when it is fixed.
The download is now fixed ~again~...
I already responded to Iggy, but just so the group knows, ARMV4 is the one that seems to be uploaded to my device during debug sessions, so I can safely say that ARMV4 is somehow newer than ARM. So I guess anything XDA1 or upwards can use ARMV4. I have had both working on my XDA1 and I can't see any difference in operation, although I haven't tested for performance.
Nice job brother. Now works perfectly
Well I added the little convenience of the keypad popping up automatically, and popping away on lost focus. There's also a couple more menu items in operation. It's really not far away from working completely, most of the technical stuff is out of the way.
Just downloaded and tried, excellent work. Thanks for setting up the keyboard, makes it a lot easier. Looking forward to the final version, but so far excellent.
I just upgraded to 0.53 so the history works (or should work).
I'm really happy the way this project is going.
All features operating
I have just uploaded WordNetCE .99 with ALL features now operating. Please update to that version and let me know if there's any bugs. Thanks!
For those of you who tried that latest download and found it didn't work, it is now patched, you should be able to get it up and running now.

Porbably one of the best plugin for pocket PC !!

Hi all,
You absolutely need to have a look at this plugin... beautifull?
I am testing the evaluation version and it works great !!!
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/screenshots.html?en
dag
i've puschased it.very funcionally plugin for me
Tried it, didn't like it....
you cant beat Wisbar advance desktop, FANTASTIC!
I use it.
It is great, as it makes the icons very 'finger friendly', and you can quickly navigate to programs or system settings.
IMO, it really is the most practical plugin - not just looks good, but functional and easy to use
Now this is excately what I´ve been looking for!! Really great app! Finally an app that makes one hand navigation on the touch screen possible in a very good way! Really good, and I really really recomend it to everyone who has a pocket pc!
Great!!
great plugin.
i use it for severl months. works great.
i've tried wisbar advanced and i don't like it.
How i can customize Home Tab icons?

Hi Deedee.
Any chance you could post some links to some particular examples? I know if I looked for a while I could probably stumble across them, but I'm at work!
Thanks,
Mattster.
I have to agree that its a great piece of software, I have used the previous version and have just upgraded yesterday to the 2.1. I'm now able to uninstall the HTC home plugin and use this solely.
My biggest annoyance with it is that you cannot edit the website where you source the weather updates, however I have now installed SPB weather which enables me to specify my weather source.
Whenever I flash a new Rom I always make sure that this is one of the first programs added.

Interesting how this thread has been revived!
I'm often tempted to go for the HTC look, I like the large clock digits, but for functionality and ease of use I generally decide to stick with Spb.
Manindesert, what's your preferred ROM at the moment then?
Manindesert:
Just seen in your signature "FInixNOver WWE 6.1 Ver. 3.2 Light".... not tempted to go for the 3.4 light upgrade then? I'm nearly tempted to flash from Mary to FInix but am so happy with my device as it is at the moment! Plus I'd lose my Tomtom speed camera use (due to change in device code after flashing". What do you reckon?

Not sure about examples per se but here's links to the threads concerned, they are long but there are some nuggets in there:
Development sub-forum
General 2.1 Customisation
NiteStalkers Themes
There may be others but that's the ones i can find quickly.

Thanks Deedee.
I'm sitting at work shattered and dying because I spent last night trawling through the first 200 pages of 2.1 themes and development! The whole diamond theme thread for example was interesting, but the theme itself didn't appear till page 125 or something!
Lots of interesting stuff, but for every tweak or theme offered there seems to be a problem or issue that needs solving. I think I've decided I am too much of a "If it aint broken don't try and fix it" type of person for half of the threads. If anything went wrong with my phone, I would have to drop everything in my life until it was fixed!
All I'm debating now is whether to flash Fixinover's 3.4 lite rom as it apparently has a fix in it for the issue in Mary's Rom where the device code changes and passwords are lost after a soft reset. But I'm still resisting as there always seem to be extra reg edits and cabs to download after flashing a cooked ROM due to issues that people discover!

pPod

Hi
I know this project was put on hold, but does anyone have any contact details for the team behind it? I can't remember the company name.
Are kidding, right? You can't be that much of a noob, no one can. Have you even heard of google??
Type your query and the FIRST hit you get gives your answer.
Do that before creating useless threads.

Now read. They went out of business.
/me claps at agovinoveritas
Yes I knew that, I've been to their now ex-website http://www.starbriteltd.com
My question was, who was behind it and where are they now, does anyone know?
Oh yeah, I've also emailed the current owner of the domain name in the hope he has the contact details for the previous owner.

It's not that hard to find it. I wish they used image files like .bmp or .jpg for the skins so we could at least reskin it to make it like the newer generation iPods.
I got it years ago, but there are a few things which could be improved: the skinning, setting a default music folder, D-Pad action button support, ... (all of this is of course my own personal wish list!)
Hope theres someone who knows a bit about how to do this stuff (and maybe more...)
Why not just apply this skin to WMPlayer? http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14162

Because of 2 reasons.
1) It's ugly as hell.
2) It doesn't have the scroll wheel function like the actual program does.
pPod is still easy to find for download. I found it about a week ago.
I agree :-D
but a "real" options or settings page with a few more options to choose from would be great ( i wish i knew how to edit pPod :-D)
no source code still, I've been trying to start something from scratch but for the life of me I can't figure out how to play an mp3 on the mobile platform (first time programming mobile). It's embarrassing, can't even find any example source code that works.

23-Jun-2009 - Bing Mobile - Rebranded Live Search

Hey all -
Microsoft has changed the sticker on their Live Search program for Windows Mobile to match their rebranding effort. I am attaching the cab, and here's a link to the download page (which ironically still is off of live.com)
http://mobile.search.live.com/client/download_manual.aspx
And the "Locate Me" feature still does not work on my Titan.
Also, you may want to uninstall your Live Search prior to installing this. Since the name changed, it does an odd overwrite and doesn't prompt for the uninstall of your previous program.
Version 4.6.6169.0
EDIT -
Thanks to Ace10134 for the following:
Screenshots and Features list: HERE
Hah, the "Locate Me" feature doesn't work for me either. I told them about it, and they said it worked fine, what BS!
But is this the new Bing Maps? Anything actually new? Or just re-branded?
It appears to me just a simple re-branding...but I'm not positive.
Well with this Bing version, the Locate Me is working! Yay!
Not much has changed though. Just the name.
Screenshots and Features list: HERE
http://thewingster.com/bing.aspx
You could put that in the first post so people can see what it looks like, then they can see that it's basically the same.

It's in the link on my original post. Visit that page and you can find WM6, WM5 and even 2003.
I'm disappointed that they didn't really add much "bing" to it. It's still a great mobile tool (and locate me has always worked on my Kaiser), but I was hoping for a refresh to the icons to match the bing look a bit more. I also wish it worked more natively with GPS.
Hopefully more is in the pipeline.
Live Search has always worked on ym Kaiser too. So far the Bing re-skin is working fine too.
It'd be nice if they actually do release it looking like it does here though.

That will likely be more of a future release, this one I'm sure is just transitioning the Live name to Bing mostly. I'm sure MS is planning to overhaul a lot of things with Win7, WM7, Bing, ZuneHD, etc all in the works and coming out in the next year. They want to change their image to be more customer oriented and are actually listening to the customer more it seems this round.

As long as you have a data plan, and if you surf the internet and such, then this app is just like any other app. If you've used Google Maps on your phone, then that is basically what this is.

Looking for a rather basic WinMo 6.5.3/6.5.5 ROM

Before people tell me to search the forums, that's what I've been doing for the longest time, trying every ROM on the Vogue forum. And before you tell me to try Android, I've done that too, and while I like it, I prefer Windows Mobile on this particular phone at the moment, but may put Android on it again sometime in the future.
The closest that I've found is NagROM V0.19 Touch, which is just a touch too basic. I'm looking for something like that, but with M2D and M2D Customiser, the HTC Cabs and Ringtones, the EZInput keyboard like in NFSFan's ROM, and Office 2007 or 2010. While I like the ROMs that come with other programs cooked in, such as Total Commander and PHM Registry Edit, I prefer the ROM coming without them so that when I go to install an updated version, I don't run into a problem. Too many times I've had problems installing a newer version of a program when it comes up telling me it has to uninstall the previous version, but can't, sometimes leaving me with just the old version, or both versions.
And before anyone says to cook my own, I've looked into guides, tried cooking my own, and the past few times I've tried, it wouldn't even boot up for the first time after flashing. I've tried numerous kitchens, some of which are supposed to be basic ones, perfect for beginners, but end up with one of a few problems: Not compatible with 64-bit windows, virus scanner blocks a crucial part, not meant for the Vogue, etc.
Basically what I'm asking is: Are there any basic ROMs with nothing more than M2D (and HTC cabs and Ringtones, and M2DC), EZInput, and Office Mobile 2007/2010 cooked in, or can someone HELP me with trying to cook my own (so that I can have it preconfigured for Verizon, MMS working and GPS set up)?
Hey, Ill cook you up a rom with the things you want. Should be done here in a little while!
Hey - that's a dev for you, man. Ask and ye shall receive!

Haha, wow. I never expected someone to actually make it fer me! I'll have to try it out tomorrow as it's late now. Also, what kitchen do you use, Barogi? I still do plan on learning. (I'm a mix of hands on learning and being shown/flat out told what to do for the first time or three lol). Also, I assume it is set up as a Generic ROM (without the provisioning cab, MMS cab and settingsh, and Registry settings for GPS)? Also, as time goes more things come to mind to be cooked in (hence wanting to learn how to cook a ROM personally, and slowly becoming less basic ) lol. Still, thanks, majorly. I'll let you know how it works out when I try it tomorrow =3
Oh, and what version of EZInput is cooked in? I know I said "like the one in NFSFan's ROM," but that's only because I was unsure of the version (which I know now is 1.5.)

I use ppckitchen.org Buildos 2.0.0 And yes it is generic meaning you will need a carrier cab, Once you do install your carrier cab everything should work such as mms and gps. As for Ezinput i actually use a newer version than Nfsfans its (pcarvalho_ezInput_2.1_QVGA). If you want some help with cooking your own rom, just install ppckitchen buildos 2.0.0 since thats the only one ive ever used and know how to use and then send me a message on whatever you need some help with! Also if you want something changed in the rom i have already made for you before you get a chance to build your own, just let me know and ill do it.
EDIT: Had posted the wrong link to ppckitchen its supposed to be ppckitchen.org not .com
Hope you like it.

PPCKitchen BuildOS 2.0.0 is what I was using as well. I've used enough generic ROMs to know how to get it all working, so that's simple to do. Was just curious about that. I've gotten one ROM working through there, but somehow ended up with the Windows Mobile 6.1 splash screen (even though I changed it lol.) I'll try out your ROM, and I"ll keep playing with BuildOS. Hopefully I can get the file size down, and figure out how to cook in my own things, not just what's listed on the build menu lol. I'm kind of a hands on learner, kind of need to be shown multiple times, so playing around with it (though will take MUCH longer) SHOULD help me figure it out, but I'll keep in mind to PM you if I have any questions.

Ok great!
Alright, I'm trying out the ROM, and so far it looks great. Just one slight thing... I see you put in PHM RegEdit (an add on program I said I prefer installing myself so that when I go to update it I don't run into problems lol) Other than that, so far it looks perfect. Now if I could figure out how to cook a ROM where it isn't bigger than the stock, with just a few add in things as I think of them that I use regularly (and cook it as a Verizon specific ROM) then yay. Time to start playing with BuildOS while setting up my phone again lol

Ahh sorry about that Its just one of those programs that i figured you might want but perhaps had forgotten to ask for
Also i realized that after i had uploaded the rom that i forgot to add the reg edit to fix the 2016 date error on sms messages... Not sure if that affects you on Verizon, because i do not get it on Bell.
If you want... I can give you a list of the necessary things you should put in your own roms to make it function to its fullest.. like all the necessary bluetooth items and such?

It's alright, I think PHM is one of the ones that can be updated even if it's cooked in without any problems. And yes, the 2016 problem will affect me on Verizon. I had it happen to me on NagROM before, but already had the fix downloaded (someone made it into a cab) so I installed it to be on the safe side. As for the list of things to make it function to the fullest, please do. And if there is another way to contact you other than on here, can you tell me in PM? I'd like to contact you off of here for help with cooking a ROM. I've tried again, and it wouldn't even finish building this time. Out of about 8 times of cooking a ROM, it succeeded only once, but I forgot to compress it (this was before you made this ROM for me).
Also, slight problem, and quick question.
The problem is on M2D. The music tab. It says that it can't play the audio file and opens Windows Media Player. I haven't found anything on this yet and had it happen to me on a few ROMs. If it can't be fixed, that's fine, i can just take off the music tab (because I don't always slide along the bottom, I'll use the D-pad at times, and if other people play with my phone)
The question... Where can I find the default background for M2D? I changed the background using M2DC so it'll be on all the tabs, but you can't see the white text, so I wanna change it back until I find a different background.

Ill send you a pm with my cell number. Also I have always gotten that message when trying to use music tab. I dont think a fix has ever been mentioned... I know that it usually defaults to using audio manager and not the windows media player, perhaps that could be the problem?
The background... I think that you have to back up the default in M2DC before changing it in order to get it back, so that you can reload it. Just so you know, I don't use Manila at all on my phone, so im not quite sure how to fix many things on it. And remember that most issues are do to the fact that Manila is not made for our phones and has been ported over. But I will try my best to help you out.

I've had the music tab working before. I think NFSFan's ROM. And I'll just find a different background. I'll send you a text tomorrow before my class.

Yeah NFSFAN always cooked Audiomanager into his roms... you could put it in your own as well and it probably would stop the error.

Barogi...can I hit you up for a more basic one that that? I need the lighted WM ROM there is. I basically need Windows Mobile 6.5.3 and that's it...no extras.
If you could make one that has everything removed except Windows (even ezinput, office, ringtones, htc apps, etc...then I would be very appreciate
Of course if you have a kitchen link I can do it myself - thanks !!
