I asked this elsewhere, but this is a better place to post i think.
Is it possible to have Windows Mobile 6.0 run on the HTC Touch HD? If so, what ROM would I need? I want an English version. I need to run some software on it which doesnt work with WM6.1 and WM6.5
roms have to be 100% custom made with just the correct drivers for it to work on a device
it would be a first if a rom cooker spend too much time cooking an older version then what came with the device be it wm6 or wm5 for that matter
so would not hold my breath
Shame, we needed to get ~80 of these downgraded to WM6.0 for the software to work. I wonder if Orange would accept 80 returned phones
Have sw compatibility problems? I used on WM6.1 all programs from WM5 w/o problems ^^
80 Devices? You could PM directly a cooker and ask him about your problem: you could find a solution

80!?! Holy crap?? What are those 80 HDs used for??
It could be possible but you would need to find WVGA resolution files for the WM 6.0 SYS build first. I don't think there were any WM6.0 WVGA devices.
Got a load of phones that we issue to satellite engineers for work. We have a bit of software than rubs on the phones and the engineers use it to get customer information, allocate stock to the customer, activate the customers hardware and subscription services ect.
We have never been able to get it to work with WM6.1 or WM6.5
It gives some error about graphics or display or something along those lines.
We currently use the HTC Kaiser (TyTnII) which came with WM6.1 and we had to flash them all to WM6.0 for the software to work.
Without the software, all the staff are unable to work.
Also, is there a way that I can install certain software and configure settings on a windows mobile device, then make a backup of that device and flash it to all the other devices? Its just that having to flash 80+ devices to windows 6.0 and then install framework, then software, then setup messaging and GPRS settings and a few other dependencies can be time consuming (about 30mins per device). When this is done for 80+ devices, well....you get the idea...
Have you tried WVGA fix?

With this you can change the screen to VGA which the program might work with.

Yes, you can do this with backup software like Spb Backup.. it backs up the phone's installed software and registry to a file which you can execute on another phone so that it is restored to the exact same way as on the original phone.
Or you can use something free called Sashimi.
Another thing is, if the ROM has User Customization built in, you can have the ROM look for a file called SDConfig.txt on your storage card, which contains a list of CAB/XML files on your SD card to execute automatically after a flash.

It will most definitely be the WVGA resolution that is stuffing the software up, all issues with software not running under windows 6.1 on the HD are caused by one of two issues:
1) Software dependencies, ie. Compact Framework version - I have never came across a software dependency issue that cant be fixed
2) WVGA vs VGA resolution, and in this case with it being a graphics issue you will definitely be able to get it running using the WVGA fix quoted by rovex.
All you need to do is install the WVGA fix, do a soft reset and use the program to change it to VGA mode before launching your application which wont work, i can all but guarantee this will fix the problem, of course the only issue is you will have to change the res before launching the app all the time.
I would also suggest you contact the manufacturers of the software (or if its in house contact your in house development department) and tell them to make it work in WVGA resolution, this should only be a minor change, after all they dont need to move all the controls around just ensure it loads even it dosnt use the whole screen.

I tried using that tool, but it still didnt work. Instead I just got a screen saying "We're Sorry" and something about cprog.exe has stopped working.
We have been told that it needs to be run on version 1.81.61.2 on the Kaiser, apparently this is the display or graphics version or whatever that is required for it to run, but im thinking this is the number that shows on the bottom right of the device when powered....
Anyway to find out exactly whats causing this error or any other work around?

I would suggest talking to the developer/manufacturer of the software your trying to get to work to see if they can modify it to work WVGA resolution. This would most likely be your easiest route, especially when all new devices will be on wm6.5 or later and not compatible with wm6.0

Yes, if the WVGA fix dosnt work then I can only assume that the software has been specifically designed to be locked to only work on the Kaiser phone, the only way you are going to fix this is to contact the manufacturer or employ a software engineer to reverse engineer the software and make it work on the HD, which could be costly and time consuming.

So has anyone with the 5.2 update installed experienced any significant improvement please??

Just tried the cracked one, and I can't see a difference against 5.1. The screen still draws visibly slowly and the UI is still as limiting and unsophisticated as ever.
I can't see any benefit in upgrading if TT is working already for you.
Looks like TomTom will be waiting a while longer to get my upgrade fee. I'm happy to upgrade legitimately from my legitimate v3, but I don't consider it to be a viable option at the moment. TomTom seem to have lost their way on PocketPC software since they are apparently unifying the software to match their TomTomGO platform. Sadly that leaves those of us with sophisticated multi-purpose devices wondering why we can't have the flexibility of version 3, in which we could keep the Windows Taskbar on the screen and actually use the damn operating system at the same time!
Not good, TomTom. Not good at all. :evil:
Thanks SiliconS.
You have no choice but to wait for the upgrade as I can't find any link to do this on their web site. Does anyone know of any other way of upgrading?
I have version 3 & I refuse to buy version 5 other than through an upgrade.
Mike
I have paid for the upgrade, but the cracked version saves having to mess around with their annoying registration system.
I find the UI clean and elegant. It allows you to quickly do what you need, without fuss. It also makes switching from other TomTom's (Go etc) easy. I find version 5 far better than 3. The maps are much improved too and include all of Europe. Easily worth the upgrade price.
(The screen update is slow in landscape mode, but fine in Portrait.)
i got this (on the wizard) and i still get the same backlight turning off when running it problem. and the hex edit doesnt work with this exe (well not the same values anyway)
thefunkygibbon, you need to hex edit the exe and find the 4 instances of backlight and change them to bbcklight.
Works great on wm5.
hack done
Tomtom 5.2 with hexa change
I have noticed no difference in operation over 5.1
The only change I can see is that it installs via active sink (sic) and ignores the instruction to install to the SD card by placing the application in RAM :evil:
not working correctly
this works for me but cant get any voices to work (i put them on the storgae card from original disk)

http://www.howardforums.com/showpost.php?p=6309013&postcount=9
Apart from what was said on Howard Forums, which I agree with (clueless TomTom devs!), the update seems to add the ability to install without having to copy the CABS onto the phone.
Apart from that, no difference. If you start it up in landscape mode, it'll run in portrait mode.
One other hint that TomTom are clueless idiots - the compatibility list shows the Jasjar and the MDA Pro as being compatible. However, when I requested an activation code from them they insisted the M5000 was not compatible. They wouldn't accept that the M5000 and the XDA Exec were the same hardware and base image!
In tomtom V5.21 better bluetooth management and u can install directly by activesync with WM2005. For the voices you must to install with the original disk and then you can choise the voices otherwise copy tomtom directory contain the voices in "my documents"

Precisely. Activesync install was the one obvious thing they had to fix, and they cocked it up. Funny how every other WM5 developer in the world seems to manage it.

Precisely. Broken landscape mode. No support for soft buttons. So what's this magical support for WM5? Everything works the same (or doesn't) as in 5.1.

Yes, but the morons f*cked up the code so it won't install to the Storage Card. One CAB doesn't ask, the 2nd CAB asks but ignores your answer. So unless you move everything by hand with File Explorer, that's 3MB of your precious main memory wasted. Don't forget it's your money that's paying them to write that crap.

Hi all. Has anyone with a T-Mobile Ameo got Pocket Mechanic working on their device?
It's just that I have downloaded several demo versions (recent ones from Anton's website) and earlier 2.xx versions, and whilst they all install and display fine, I never have the buttons visible at the bottom of the screen to actually activate any of the modules.
It's a right royal pain. I just want to test the defrag options within it, to see if it is worth my while.
Anyone experience this? If not, I got me problem.
Any know of any other freeware or if need be commercial app that will allow me to safely defrag my SD card and Micro drive?
Any help appreciated.
Pocket Mechanic Pro...Incompatible with HTC WM5?

Well I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for your reply. I noticed you have a HTC X7500, just wondering if this a ROM issue with T-Mobile Ameo or just my device now.
Anyone got this up and running on an Ameo and or Dopod U1000?
Not Working on Ameo....
I'm really stumped on this one....I need help...please!!??!! AAaarrrgg.
OK now I got that out of my system.
Can someone with an Ameo either please test out the evaluation copy (any version from 2.3xx upwards) please to see if they get the same problem or wether it's my device.
Apparently it works without issue on the X7500, but on my Ameo it looks perfect, BUT....the execution buttons at the bottom of the screen are not visible in all Modules except the 'Free RAM' module, where it is clearly visible and working as should.
I have tried 4 different versions all with the same problem. I'm stumped!!
I really need this as I'm constantly transferring large files to and from the MicroDrive and Defragging is something I have learnt is necessary on the PC, so I figured it must equally be important on the PPC with such a large HDD/MicroDrive.
Anyway here are some snapshots, 1 with the execution button (the only one) and 2 without (including all remaining modules). I have tried another app which can do Defragging, but was not at all impressed with it.
Anyway thanks in advance for any help or positive input.
works perfectly on my ameo.. Cache set to 4mb.. ameo seems much quicker. Latest version of the developers site.
Maybe try it without WA3 running? What else have you got running that could affect it?
FWIW defragging the microdrive seems to take an age. I think it was going to take 8 hours...
Thanks for your help.

Eureka!! Got it working..but still no graphical buttons!
Suppose the title said it all. I have had to navigate using the keyboards navigation keys and guess how many clicks downwards to the invisible buttons.
Pathetic I know, but at least I can use the application and it defragmenting after a scandisk as I type. Brill.
Yea, mine works on Htc x7500 with version 2.32.175. It could be your WA3 - What color Font is on your today screen. is it black? I have had some issues with pocket mechanic and wa2, I had to change the font color for it to show...Well that was before I removed WA2
Pocket mechanic's newer version with scandisk is a very good app. Each new release gets better and better. I have used the PM since the beta testing. (even listed in the credits)
Is wa3 really better? I really like the idea and functionality of WA, but it always caused issues with my devices...

Hey eaglesteve.
No it's definately not WA3 as I tried it without WA but I will give the colour scheme thing a shot under the native O/S theme.
But somehow I don't think that will resolve it either. You see when I activate/execute a module (via keyboard) it takes me to another screen whereby I get to see the missing buttons which I can then click on. Weird!!
As for WA3 beta2....I love it and can't wait to buy the full product. I bought WA2 near the beginning of last year and loaded it up on at least 4 different WM devices that I went through in the last year. It's a must have for me. I hate the default look of WM and the latest incarnation comes with some much needed new features and is very well implemented. I def recommend it.
Pretty stable too for a beta!
Newest Pocket Mechanic bricked my O2 xda trion
Installed the latest version (2.43) this morning as it is stated as a "critical upgrade". Opened PM and elected to run ScanDisk on my storage card. App responded that it would reboot, open in "Safe Mode" and then proceed to scan my card. The unit rebooted and then hung on the Windows Mobile splash screen. Nothing else happened for 30-min. so I removed the battery for another 30-min. This cycle has been repeated several times with and without the storage card installed but nothing has restored operability to my phone. I have contacted Anton about this but other than his questions regarding which file I downloaded from his site (it was the .cab file for WM5) I have heard nothing further.
Looks as though my phone will need a hard reset - just hope I have a salvageable storage card.
JayBee
sorry to hear that Jaybee, that's messed up. I no longer trust Antons software and will be deleting PM as soon as I have completed this post.
Did you know that a few versions ago he apparently released a version of PM that had malicious code in the app to format or corrupt your memory card? now that was all about striking back at cracked versions of his software. I'm all for developers protecting their investment, but not at the expense of peoples expensive gadgets, especially when weighed up against software which only cost a few measely bucks in comparison!!
This type of action also gave some of his genuine customers problems.
Nah,sorry, i'm done with his software.
PM
I have reported the bug to Anton and he told me the was a major bug in the 2.42 version which only appears in WM5. Now they have released the 2.45 version. Beware, after installing and using scandisk with safe mode my device frooze while booting. I had to hard reset my device to get it working again.
I'm using version 2.30.172 with no problem at all. I have all the buttons that are missing is Mackaby007's unit.

I'm relieved. Software differences will be resolved in the future.
I just had the infuriating problem of not locating the action/dialog buttons for Pocket Mechanic (and I'm a newbie to WinMobile - just got my HTC TyTNII last Friday).
Turns out it's something to do with the system fonts (and/or font size). One of the FAQs at PocketMechanic website (Wizcode.com) states that:
If the buttons at the bottom of different Pocket Mechanic Professional module dialogs are missing or misplaced you need to adjust the system font properties of your Windows Mobile Device. Symptoms always appear after the default system font settings are changed (most often by a 3rd party application).
Pocket Mechanic Professional missing buttonsThe current implementation of MFC libraries could cause the buttons (and other dialog controls) to be incorrectly positioned on dialogs if the default system font is changed. The MapDialogRect API that is used for mapping controls on a dialog takes into account the system font properties when calculating the positions of the controls but it doesn’t seem to do that correctly on Windows CE. The side effects of that are oddly placed dialog controls when using a non-default system font. Sometimes the controls will be position outside the visible are of the dialogs thus making them unusable.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I must've messed around with that earlier (changed to Tahoma 8pt or 9pt) either with Tweaks 2K2.NET or some other tool.
I've now set it to Segoe UI (and 8pt) , and the dialog buttons are back.
Another problem that manifested from the initial changing of fonts was that the tabs to configure Journal Bar (at the bottom of the screen) had disappeared as well.
Now they're back.
Hope this helps.
Well done!
I'd like to know if you have any problems with Astronavigator on Touch HD.
I have installed it and as soon as go in the menu for changing location, the application freezes
I'd also like to know if there's any similar program, which uses gps to define current location...
Tnx
Andrej
Same for me: app freezes
yep
fine till you change location - then freezzzzz
here the same...no sulotion in the pas half year?
here the same...no solution in the past half year?
I've tried running Atronavigator on both HTC shift and Touch HD, the stuff just freezes.
But... if you de-select all the stuff on the map, once in a while, you can get to the location part, I was even able to get a fix one time and see the soft. as it should be.
On the shift, it's even harder to get it working, one must reboot, kill activesync,kill all the other stuff like GSM/Radio, kill the stars, planets and the rest and..
you might get lucky once in a while...
possibly it's due to the origins of my file...
Same here; just freezes when trying to locate position or even when wanting to input position manually on Touch HD
Hi,
It's Working with WGAFIX.
WGAfix ?
I guess you mean WVGA Fix(.cab) to switch to VGA, I first was confused into downloading WGA fix for XP :-(
This looks like the place to get it.
Incidentally, the freeze happens with the version legitimately downloaded from vitotechnology.com. I sent a request to their support 3 weeks ago, and then by email, haven't heard from them.
The previous version (astronavigatorII 1.2) works fine though...

Not sure if this is the WVGA fix your talking about
yeah, that's the one. I find that I need to do a soft reset to switch back from VGA to WVGA with that program, but that's fine.
The good news is, once you've set the astroNavigatorII location in VGA mode, you can return to WVGA as everything else works, and it 'cookies' your location. So, as long as you don't move to a distant location, you'll be able to enjoy the app.
Wow, I've been looking for a suitable app that can rival the iPhone's Starmap. Doesn't look like Vitotechnology are too reliable though... No fix for the problem in however many months, and no replies to tech support requests?
More annoying though, I go to their website and find they have an iPhone app themselves called Star Walk 3.0 which has all sorts of goodies like GPS/Digital compass etc, whilst the Astronavigator app for Windows Mobile phones seems to be stuck in a development freeze with a location feature that doesn't even work properly on our phone!
iPhone virtual machine?
from what I can judge, Astronavigator is nowhere as impressive as Starmap, still more expensive, no editing, scant documentation. The navigation / screen gestures are also quite confusing. Haven't used Starmap though.
I guess what we need is an iPhone emulator running under WM6

all the time, it makes using the X1 so much easier for 90% of the tasks.
What it doesn't do isn't worth worrying about.
It will improve, it is only a 1.2 product !!
I guess it depends what you're after, if you want the HTC Touch interface then install it / buy an HTC. If you've bought an X1 because you like the features but want to short cut some WinMo issues this is a very good way to do it.

Ok, welcome and use the search button up ther that it will solve almost all your future doubts...for now, i'll tell you what i know.
1)YOu can install the softwares on the internal storage, but not the "System" ones, like Opera, Touchflow 3d and others. You will see, if you install it and it doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall it on the device
2)Just tranfer than into the memory (any, storage or phone) and click the file on the phone.
3)Extract it on your computer, if it's a cab, do step 2. If it's a folder with an "EXE" file, double click it. If it says "not a valid win32 aplication", just transfer to the memory and execute the "exe" through the phone explorer. If it's a windows installer, connect your phone through the activesync and install it.

5) There is no built-in, download and install the PHM Registry editor or TaskManager or any other. This is my personal favorite: http://freewareppc.com/utilities/taskmanager.shtml
6)The first one is my favorite:

7)Can't say, never used it.
8)On my diamond i have Igo 8 (http://www.igomyway.eu/product_4.html) and works perfect, just like a Gps-only tool. I also know that some others like Destinator and TOMTOM work really well.
9)Not yet finished, but it's being ported:

the official rom is better or the cooked rom is better....
i have no problem wit my diamond because it is original set n still under warranty, moreover, the pda shop also offer lifetime software support...mean that if any crash happen they can help reformat for free....

Well, if you do official HTC update from their site with your own S/N you'll not loose your warranty. In my opnion cooked rooms are better, but i won't tell wich one. That depends on the programs you like and how you like your diamond, is really personal and it's a "Forbiden" discussion here. It's up to you to read the posts and see if it's worth it a try.
If you have any more doubts, you can PM me for opnions, but i don't think this thread is a good place to discuss this, cause the matter already been discussed several times.
