COM2 versus COM5 - Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development

Hi everyone,
I realize that this is probably a NOOB question, but I've seen various ROMs around that say they are the COM2 or COM5 version, etc. Can someone tell me what this means exactly?
Thanks

me too, im confused, same here my friend.

A quick search on Google will get you the answer which is a topic available right here on XDA-Dev:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588502
It explains the difference between the COM trees.
Hope you find it useful.

And where can I get it from? I have now radio 1.02 and ext rom 1.11.112. The branded ones, do they lock my ppc? Thanks very much!

With an attitude like that it's unlikely you'll get a response.
This is a forum of like minded enthusiasts.. not a help desk...
OK thats my four pennyworth
:shock:
There is lots of information on this site, in this forum even about upgrading the Alpine.
As far as versions go
WWE 1.11.169
Asia 1.11.192
Radio 1.04.
Just look in this forum and you'll find several updated roms that I myself have put up there. Just do a search for my name and you should find them.

The reason most people won't have answered is that they don't know. Somethings are all down to personal experience and if no-ones had that problem, they won't know the answer. What's the point in posting "I don't know"?

Also, learn maths. 6 days is not 3 weeks.
If you get better response from other forums with an attitude like that then piss off back there as it isn't wanted here. Sorry if you think I'm being harsh but I think it's totally justified.

Read GPS coordinates and upload them to a website

Hi all,
I'm looking for a very simple program which will read GPS coordinates from my bluetooth GPS receiver and use a GET or FORM request to upload them to a website, i.e.
www.website.com/gps.php?n=000.000&w=000.000
Does such a program exist? I've had a look around here and on Google and can't find anything.
If not, I would be willing to have a go at making it. In this instance, does anyone have any pointers for reading the data from the Com port?
Thanks
Oliy

Thanks for the link, however all the solutions in there are far more complex than what I want, or limited to me making an account on someone else's server.
Is there just a really simple app to do this? Or could anyone provide source code of getting the GPS coordinates, and I could make the rest of the program from there.
Cheers
Oliy: it's a little more involved then just reading the com port. What kind of experience do you have? You have to do quite a bit of token and string parsing. Have a read of the GPS protocols:

Hi Vijay,
Thanks for the link. String and token parsing is fine. I have plenty of experience in core operations of programming languages, it's when you get into hardware specific things that I have very little experience.
I don't have a whole lot of time to program at the moment, I start my internship on monday and I have work on my own little OmapScaler project building up as well, but I've found a guy on this forum who seems to have the same ideas as me, I've PMd him and will hopefully get a reply soon.

Help with dialer on official wm6

Hi all you exellent hackers
Ok, I know that this question is popping up everywhere on the forum, in the diffrent device sections, but there is none who gives an answer to this, the reason for this might vary, but its still a unanswered question as far as I can find.
Im a nOOb, I know, and I am trying to find all the sollutions for my self by using google and search on the forum.
But im still hanging in the air without any sollution for this.
When we try to implement the touch dialer or the kaiser dialer in our official wm6, it do not show up right. There are some small issues with the commManagers too, but I worked that one around, atleast for the 8 button touchdialer. It has some color issues on the buttons, the left row is slighly darker then the left row..weird but no big problem, ill solve that.
But, as I said/wrote, cant get custom dialers to work.
Could any of the expert chefs provide us with a sollution to this? Is there one?
I know there is alot of roms out there that you guys have provided us with, and they are amazing (I have both qtec9100 and htc P4350,and have tried some roms) But, since I come from norway, I would like to have a custom rom with features like touch/kaiser dialer, kaiser commManager, touchflo/cube on my native language.
I have worked quite alot of hours making things work, but now im stuck.
I have changed many oem apps so they will work on my norwegian rom, changed language and edit paths so they would show up in right places, and they do
I dont want to sound like a kid who just wanna be cool and do what you guys do, im not even close to be where you guys probably where when you started cooking.
But I gotta start somewhere, and I have a hope that I can be of help with sollutions for things myself as I go along on this trip
What I have noticed is that there is many ppl who wants to take shortcuts to everything, to have everything handed out. Well, I hope im not like that.
Here in norway, there is not a big community of developers, and there is not many, if any, real good custom roms available (please corect me if im wrong) in my native language, and that in my mind is a sad thing.
I have no problem using a WWE, I have used many, and made the changes to make norwegian keyboard, both hardware and software work. (thanx to the many, many ppl who worked with providing the sollutions) But still WWE dont provide us with in.ex norwegian dictionarys for in. ofiice, it can be done by using 3party progz, but is nicer to have a norwegian (or other languages) base rom with the appz/mods/hacks working.
It would be greatly appreciated by many, many if someone could help us working this issues out.
If someone would post some reg edits to make it work?
Maybe make a cab file that makes the changes? (I would rather do it myself though)
I would easy be happy to make donations for the time used to help out, and im pretty sure many other would do the same.
AND please dont flame this thread
well, dialer solved...but not yet inn cooking, but reg edit/delete and cab install

Ill figure that out in cooking

[Q] How are we supposed to know what to tick and untick in EXT packages?

Ok, so here is my dillema, as I am new to cooking, I have never yet had to update the EXT packages when a new base comes out, bobsbbq ticked and unticked what was needed and not needed when I made my first kitchen, using the Leo TMOUS 2.10 base packages. Not 2.11 is out and I need to work out what I need and dont need, so Im thinking that I should write down what is unticked now, and then use that as a guide for the 2.11 packages, good idea?
Also can anyone explain why certain things are and arent needed? I have the same problem when updating SYS to thanks. (Although some I can work out is because its Tmob stuff we dont need)
My general rule of thumb is this: if you don't know what it is, leave it in. Some things are obvious, like mp3 trimmer, manila or labyrinth. Leave them in or out, it's your choice. A lot of the non-obvious packages are just dll's that several different HTC apps may need to function. You can use a dependency scanner to see what apps need what, but that can be complicated. It's always a good idea to look in the package and see what's there, and look in the rgu's for clues.

I'll give a simple and straightforward answer to the very broad question..

Read, search, read some more, build rom, more searching, read, read, build rom, read again, then search and read. Repeat, and rinse.
Hope that helps.

+1, yeah all packages in rom have a function.
The only way to find out is indeed logical thinking and your suggestion.

Great link, Thanks. I have often thought that this would be a great resource thread here.
I have also had a problem with this and many times the only answer is trial and error. Though the more I cook the better I am getting at figuring this stuff out by dissecting the package a little.
I know that "Search and you will find it" is a common (and overused IMHO) answer abound here but I have found that searching for package names rarely leads me in the right direction.

IMO, searching is important, but equally important is reading about things when you aren't necessarily searching for specific answers. Doing this, you will often find useful information by chance which you aren't really even actively searching for. I think the real lesson is to constantly keep up with as much of the latest developments as possible, even if you may find them unnecessary in your particular situation. This gained knowledge will only lead to a more fully holistic understanding of the cooking process, which is really the point.

i think this is very true i hear people complain all the time about how they cant search and find what they are looking for, but truth is that if you do enough reading you will find your answer and learn a whole lot more in the process

I had (and still have) the same problem. So I started to figure out what which package does. There are still packages that I haven't figured out yet but those I have figured out I've uploaded to a public Mercurial repository. You can find it here:
Code:
ttp://bitbucket.org/da_cug/cleanroom/overview
(just prepend "h" - I can't post URLs here yet)
If you don't want to clone the repository (or if you don't know what Mercurial is) you can click on the "Source" tab and browse the repository. The description of each package can be found in the "readme.txt" files within each package folder.
The (my) idea of this repository is that there is a central place for all packages/devices/languages to which users can contribute to (rather than each cook doing this on his/her own).
Note that the repository is not yet complete. I only upload packages for which I know (or think I know) what they're doing. Any help with this is appreciated. Just write me a message.
Looks interesting da_cug, xplain how we can helps you with this thing... its a magnific Info source.

COM3 Rollup?

I've looked all over the place, and used searched many times, but alas I can't find what/where the latest COM3 rollup is.
Any chance someone could direct me in the right direction

+1!
I'm searching too for any 231xx roll-up (0410 language).
Found 23092 only.
You guys are waiting for nothing! There's no rollup available. You would learn how to make your missed dpi/langs from old rollups comparing resources and fixing them via Restorator.
