Upgrade Google Maps - Touch Diamond2, Pure General

I have GoogleMaps 3.0.0.12 pre-installed.
(How) Can I upgrade to GoogleMaps 3.3?
Topaz (Diamond2) / WM 6. unlocked

yes, you definitely can.

Just find the cab and it will install over your current version.

i have checked this version, but i think this link might be a newer version...
thanks to vagrik and his Tiger ROM for this...

you can!
and i recommend, if you do install the newer version, install it on your storage card - so the cache (which is sometimes signifikant), will also go to your SD Card.
regards

The site where u can download version 3.3 from
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Google-Maps-3-3-Released-for-WM-and-Symbian-Phones-128703.shtml

I installed Google Maps v3.3 on my HTC Pure and it never saw my GPS. This was the direct download from Google. It said it did not support my phone. I reverted back to the older version from my Tilt, and that works fine.

Thats because the GoogleMaps 3.3 cab file is programmed bad. It appears to be missing a "\" from all of the reg entry paths and file links. The cab actually installs 2 of the same file. 1 has a correct path... the other is screwed up.
Here is the 3.3 files. If you already have Google Maps installed, then just over write older files with these updated ones.
GoogleMaps doesn't hardly use any reg keys on install. Cooking in GoogleMaps, I've never had to change the reg entries. So you'll be fine just over writing the files.

Thanks for your contribution, I overwrote the zip files but did not notice any difference. Even my version number stays the same: 3.2

Hi there
Can I check that the recommended way to move to v3.3 from the stock version that comes from HTC with the phone is to download the attached CAB file and just run that? Should the install be to the Device or the SD Card? Presumably to overwrite it should be to the same place that the stock version is currently installed...which I assume is the Device? But if one want to take advantage of installing to the SD card so that the cache also resides there (suggestion from earlier poster) who would one uninstall the stock offering that came with the phone?
Apologies for all the questions. I am a newbie and just getting into this.
Cheers
Balders

Install Caller_ID_W..
PHP is a language which runs on the webserver. so when you click on download.php you actually start a service on the server, which gives you the requested file.
now these CAB-files are pocketpc cab files ad are kind of setup programs for PocketPC , so you have to copy the CAB to your pocketpc and execute it there.
You can execute it by putting it in your extended rom, modify the config.txt and hard reset (I hope you know what hard reset means/implies)
or simply by tapping on it in PPC file explorer. In this case the CAB will disappear after installation. But if you have a previous version of Caller_id installed, you best uninstall it first : by editing the registry as explained in the forementioned thread, deleting as much files from the previous thread as it allows you to, soft reset, and delete the rest of the files.
I sure hope you understand all this, because if you don't know what php is, don't know what PPC CABs are, then I would advice you not to mess around too much with your PPC internals.

i know what is cab file.
but i wanted to know weather the file is in zip format cus win zip doesn't recognize it and even when i paste it on my ppc it doesn't install it simply says (there is no application associated with ''caller_id_wwe'' run the application first,then open the file from with in)
sounds like something corrupt during download
clear your internet cache and download again, don't unzip/unrar it, just copy the complete CAB file to your PPC
almost everything is installed with cab, so it would be weird that no association exists. Or during the copying to PPC maybe the conversion went wrong.
I'm really guessing now, just keep trying.

I cant find my "Running Programs"

I just hard reset my magician. Since i'm using big storage (my friend did it), only some of the cab files from extended_rom are installed. Now i just found out that my smart dialing, MMS, O2 plus are not included. It was easy to recover those programs since i know the cab files.
However, i cant find the right cab for "Running Programs". Does anyone know which one? Thx.
Sorry for the bad language
Running programs - do you mean in Settings > system > memory > running programs?
If you need a task killer I can send you one or there's many around.
V
That's the one. Thx . So actually it's not a stand-alone program. Yes i found the running programs.
So, the question is changed now. I need the shortcut to that program. Usually magician has the blue box icon with a picture of someone running. Do you know the shortcut?
Thx.
Just tried to restore that icon from my old backup before it crashed. I thought it was just only a link to some program. But it is not! It is an exe file and after i restored it, click the Running Programs, it says "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename".
Any clues?
My Running Programs app is in the "default_103133" CAB file from my Mini. I run this file after hard reset.
What does that file do? Just open up the running programs control panel?
If you need it back, just type the following into a text file on your PPC
Code:
22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2
and save it as Memory.lnk
Then double click on that file.
Tell me if it works ok.

@vijay
i just wanna return my magician to the default system . that's why i'm so curious to get back that program.
@ampda
i'll try that file. thx for the info.
I can post my CAB file but it will also add the O2 xda defaults that can with the Aussie unit

Thats right....just install that cab file "default_103133.cab" and you will have your Running Programs app back....that is, if you saved your Ext ROM files before doing the Big Storage patch, or someone can attach that cab file here.
Now my problem is (sorry this might be Off-topic) , how can I have back the AUTOCONFIG for different Telcos, (especially Asian) ? Its also gone after the Big Storage patch. I dont know which of the cab files I need to have it back
anyone have idea or is there a forum for this in Magician?
thanks...
THANK YOU!!! finally i can access my running programs.
anyway, ive another question . let's say i want that program to be installed automatically after I hard reset. how can you do that? so i do not have to restore them manually from my sd card. thx.

To get the menu and icon run O2Auto.sa.CAB, then install the telco(s) you want to be in the autoconfiq menu.
@nsriza, thanks!!! As simple as this, and I can have my Autoconfig back already?
I thought I need to manually edit the autoconfig.txt to change the paths of the cab files?
Btw, I have already installed the cab files for all the Telcos that I need....but not the O2Auto.sa.CAB yet. Is it okay if I install that O2Auto then install again the Telco cabs?
Thanks...
So has anyone knew how to setup auto installation for cab files (eg. MMS, SmartDialing etc) after hard reset? thx
another OOT question...what does autoconfig.txt and config.txt do? and how to use it?
thx
Im assuming your asking for auto installation for after a hard reset using big storage. if you search for "AutoRUn" on this forum you should find a link on how to create an autorun folder on your storage card. you need the autorun.exe (Found in the search for the link) and a folder called 2577 created in the root directory of your storage card. then all you need to do is add all the CABs that you want to auto install after a HR to a ZIP (not Rar) archive and call that archive extROM.zip. then put that in your 2577 directory and hardreset and it will install all the files in the zip. if you havent already installed the cabs you put in the zip it will actually start installing them as soon as you insert the SD card. have a search around you will find lots of info about this subject.

@Speedn
thx for the suggestion. it's very helpful.
@rockafeller
hi i used big storage to convert my german rom (o2 xda mini) to wwe 1.12. now i lost some features like MMS,Smart dialling, Home zone control, O2plus. (as it was the case with you). It would be great if you could share here how did you get them back to work? i mean, i want the procedure to do so. i have a backup of my german rom.
one more question. i dont see the Phone pad option in my text input list after the bigstorage patch. how can i get it back. any suggestions would be so great..
thanx in advance
kk
@visvaram
if you backup ur extended_ROM, u should able to find related cab files, such as MMS**.cab, SMARTDIALING**.cab. Just tap those files and it will be installed automatically. FYI, backup ur cab files first b4 installing.
Im not sure about O2plus and zone files. Anyone care to help?

PHM registry editor with HD2?

Hey.
I just found a link for PHM registry editor and was going to try to import and change the language of my HTC HD2 but realized that i might have the wrong version (i got one working for some kaiser-phone) and wasnt really sure what to do.
1) Can someone give me the correct PHM-downloadlink?
2) What do I do with the files to install phm on my HD2? I got the active sync version etc but wasnt really sure what to do. When i doubleclicked the file named "Setup" it just said "There is no device-compatible software available.
Installing cabs
Is it a cab file?
Then copy it to your device, Storage is best, then to install, double click on it and follow instructions.
Some apps run only from main memory while others can be installed on the storage card, thus saving space in your device program memory but at the expense of speed.

To those who want to install 'TOMTOM' & display Simplified Chinese on HD2

Hi, my first post here...
I just flashed the Energy 21908 Glass rom...
showpost.php?p=5044378&postcount=2
I was trying to enable the simplified chinese displaying on the phone without installing the IME...
So I installed the font in this thread: Arphic Crystal CHS Fonts
showthread.php?t=700311
However, when it restart, I found some of the interface changed to chinese but some of them remained in english...
Then I tried to uninstall the package but the characters which was in chinese before then displayed as "chequers"
I think the Arphic Crystal CHS Fonts package might be not compatible with the earlier energy rom..
I uploaded the edited cab file which I did some minor change with the registry... So far it works fine!
Please note: the revised cab is only suitable for those who want to read website, contacts, emails and message in chinese. it will not change the interface. the device interface will remain in English~~~
Regarding the TOMTOM issue... After the installation, it pops up an error window showing "bttray.exe is not a valid wince application"...
when I searched through the forum, someone suggested to delete the btcoreif.dll and btsdk30.dll in the rom after installation (but before restart)...
However, it did not work in my case...I tried to delete but the the two files are in rom and not able to be deleted. The cause of the problem is: when you install the tomtom, the older version file (i.e. btcoreif.dll and btsdk30.dll) in tomtom cab will replace the existing file in your rom...And then it could not be deleted or renamed!!! In your case, may be not...
So I deleted this two dll files in the tomtom original cab and then installed in my HD2... it works fine now... no popups, and the bluetooth works well... I uploaded to megaupload for someone who wants a simple solution~~~
megaupload.com/?d=KIED69VX
Lastly, I recommend a software: WinCE CAB Manager. When you open an cab file with this tool on your computer, it will clearly show the file structure... how the cab will modify your registry...what files will be added to your rom...etc.
Cheers,
conant
Your modified Arphic Crystal CHS Fonts package works fine. Thanks!

XDA_UC Help !!!

i have read and searched and cannot find oat sorry for asking newbie question
I have the latest ENERGY Rom installed and on my storage card i have the XDA_UC folder and i have cabs in there that on first boot install to my device,
How to i get cabs to be installed in the storage card, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any cabs placed in XDA_UC\SD will require a user input
this will allow you pick the install location.
also of you look in the XDA_UC thread it mentions this in the 1st post
.cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Storage", These cab files will be tempted to install to Storage Location
i have not tried it but assume its what your after
Usually though i have only 1 cab (fpsece) i install to the SD card as its almost always better to install software to the phone

hanks for the answer but have tried the \Storage option and nothing happens
many cabs are hard coded to install to phone memory regardless of where you try to install them. perhaps what you are trying to install is one of these?
for example, cookies home tab mod replaces files in the windows folder, so cannot (i assume? certainly 'should' not) be installed anywhere else, regardless of if you choose sd card during install.
Mine doesn't work either, on EnergyROM 6.5.5 CHT, I slavishly followed Nunsky's instructions, and when I manually install the cabs, they do install into either main or storage card memory just fine.

Are your applications already installed before you update your rom on the SD. if so you just need to add a shortcut back to the start menu which XDA_Uc can do from the start (or start menu i cannot remember) folder. i backup my start menu before i update then just restore after update
