GPS s/w (MapKing 2007) not working in WM6.1 - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De

As in topic, i've tried to flash to a couple of cooked WM 6.1.
but sad to say, my MapKing just won't load up.
got hang up & it just sit there whole day.
any solution?
can't live w/o the GPS.

You're using G10 or R12 version of MapKing? As far as Ive seen, R12 is the newer version and it takes a hell lot of memory compared to G10.
I wish Google Maps were offline
Regards,
Carty..

yes, go back to 6.0
wtf is up with ppl upgrading to 6.1 and then *****ing that some software doesnt work

do u've a solution for mi?
it's not working on my TyTN II as well as Cruise.
i'm not sure if it's with the WM6.1 or the s/w itself.
i bet u're just trying to clock more post by posting some sh|t around.

if ppl like you did more research instead of posting crap like this, the ppl like me dont need to clock more post by posting useless ****.
if you did search you might find that some ppl are having problems using gps with 6.1, not the same software but some might apply to your case, there is even someone who confirms that mapking 2007 works on 6.1

I have MK2007 and have used it with no problems using Duttys 6.1 UC ROM... didnt do anything special except run GPSTool (or QuickGPS) before hand and it picked up about 5 or 6 sats....

you gotta put more info then that. Has it worked before? Do you know the software is compatible? Are you sure you are using the right settings? COM4??? Has other software work okay on your device? Try GPStool and see if you can even pick up GPS satelittes at all.

MK just won't load up, i can't even get into the MK.
okie: here's my update.
MK 2007 doesn't seems to work, i've try the original MapKing R12 (Bundle) & it works like a charm.
did it on my TyTN II, now even SPB Clone is working.
will try out on the Cruise later.

3.5 ROM

Though I might start a new thread for this 3.5 ROM if thats not too naughty
JD
What do we know about it so far and is there an upload that isn't corrupt yet?
Dear Prophet users.
Dont flash Helmi_c 3.5 ROMs because they composed without trying on real device.
Helmi_c has Universal. And his Uni 3.5 version has some glitches.
Helmi's prophet versions boot only to 1 splash and thats all.
I'm trying to compose my own version and my version booting to 2 splash.
I think that i missed something in initialization files.
If anyone can help me, this will be great.
Thank you all.
I think Jesterz or LVSW are your contacts here, but I havn't heard from LVSW for some time, jesterz has done a great job so far on 3.3 clean, anyone else who can help here?

We a lost LVSW he is buy Trinity.

Hi Jesterz
Great news.....

Hi Jesterz
The gps I only mentioned as I was playing around with the midlet manager and google maps today, and wondered if it was necessary to use a gps unit with the midlet manager? If not dont worry.
One thing I did notice over Christmas while using the 3.2 clean version, My tomtom software locked up a few times (which it had never done before) I havn't had a chance to try it yet with your 3.3 since installing it
FYI
JD
Helmi_c
Excuse me man, but i think that you can describe the booting process sequence. And one more question: if i make version, that boot to 2 splash, but dont show welcome screen, thats told about that i missed something in initialization files. What are you thinking about that, could you help me?
Jesterz
Here is a possibility......I am sure I soft reset this device yesterday and the email accounts stayed (not definate though) then I installed some other software, I would guess (purely a guess) that possibly some memory is being overwritten by me installing other software on the device that is being used by the system/email account info as it is only partly dissapearing?
Possible or not possible?

Can you explain what you mean by the midlet manager using GPS? Isn't this more a function of the java app calling for the right port?

Windows Live Cab for WM5

I'm getting fed up with the WM6 frivalousnous. I believe i should go back to WM5 now. I really want Windows Live though. Is there any type of cab to get Windows Live on the MDA? I searched but came up with nothing. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If you dislike WM6 sooo much, then try posting in the appropriate forum NOT the WM6 forum. You'll probably get better reception without "frivaless" comments...

Not too sure I agree with you on that, but that's a matter of personal preference, I suppose. I've had three different versions of WM6 on my 8125 in the past couple of months -- first the MB, then the Underground, and now Faria's. I have to say I've been happy with all three. The only reason I keep changing is for more RAM. (I like having LOTS of RAM -- LOL!!)
I haven't experienced the GPRS disconnect issue with ANY of the three and my internet gets a GOOD workout on a daily basis with tethering, emails and apps that update via the internet throughout the day. In fact, any problems I've had with any of them have had to do with "Button Actuator Deficit" (i.e. user error)
I for one can honestly say that I'll NEVER go back to WM5. . . even though all the chefs on here did a FABULOUS job of cooking them up for us -- WM6 Rocks!!!

Although I don't think it's as bad as herzzreh says, it (WM6) definitely does have problems for some devices. 2.19 didn't consistently fix the GRPS drop problem for me - it worked intermittently. I also randomly got 'Phone not ready - wait 15 seconds' (or words to that effect) when trying to send SMS messages. Those issues combined with the poor reception of the 2.19 radio (compared to 2.61) mean't it wasn't worth the hassle for the few extra features WM6 gives.
cheers,
Andrew

Who knows? Mine had 0 issues, except for this annoying GPRS disconnect issue, evne with 2.19 radio. If not for this, I'd be all over about using faria's WM6 rom.
BTW, thanks for the link to 3.3 rom!
you guys might be on to something
Maybe i've been out of the loop for a while but i have the MB version of WM6. I was wondering if i should stick with this version or maybe jump to a newer version. I've seen the other version's however don't feel confident that it would solve issues dealing with MB version. I really wouldn't want to jump to another rom just to find out i have the same issues. Only issues i still currently have are the GPRS and WIFI not staying strong after i connect(more so WIFI than GPRS). The WIFI connects and is ok one minute than says "connecting" the next minute. Anyhow,i appreciate all comments either bad or good on this thread. It certainly opened my eyes to some other issues.

Your call really. If you have MBE tweaked out and all and its working good, then it is a good ROM (I liked it). But for me WiFi on it never worked right. Wifi just works (no issues) on Faria's or NotTooSmart's (which is what I'm on now). Plus you have more memory and there is no soft key lag (that I had on MBE). I've heard others complain about other things in the newer roms, so it really depends on what you use if its worth it. Definetly get a good backup of MBE if you decide to switch as you may want to restore back to good settings if you don't like the newer roms.
Personally I'm waiting for Faria's Vanilla to test out the ability to use 2.61 Radio since he's putting in the AKU 3.3 comm stack. If that works, that will be fantastic!
Leaving WM6
I almost left WM6, but I changed my mind... what did it? The Nottosmart vanilla
I had tried Faria and MB, and was having connectivity reliability issues with both of them. Now I can put up with device instability (it is Windows after all ) if I am trying to run programs, browse the internet, or do other stuff, but when it comes to the phone and e-mail capabilities I just need it to work.
I hadn't had any problems with WM5 from the first summitter ROM I tried, to unluckywivesclub, and multiple Faria and Molski variations as well. What I think I discovered is that quite honestly, different handsets act differently, even with the same setups! This may not be logical, but we are talking about computers here.
Anyway, I had actually gone back to Faria's 3.3 when nottosmart's vanilla came out. it was a weekend so I figured I would flash it, hate it over the weekend, and put WM5 back by Monday.
Well my phone has never worked or looked better. I have no GPRS reconnection issues (and I am running 2.47 radio!!!) and I honestly see myself sticking with this for quite a while. I want to see faria's vanilla since the man is so damn talented and to see what the variations are to my current (but basically vanilla is vanilla, right?) and since what I have works I probably won't change.
Will this work for you? I have no idea. I have a few programs & tweaks installed but not a lot. For all I know I am one program away from a meltdown, but for now I am a VERY happy camper.

The X-plore's a good ROM no doubt. It DOES have a few issues, all ROM's do, even carrier stock ROM's.
Faria's is the most stable over time that I've installed however, it just works
And it was originally a Wizard ROM and not ported...
(Please understand that I've been running various renditions of his present ROM for the past several months that weren't made available to the masses..)
And everyone talks about free RAM....just how much RAM does one need ?????

Windows Mobile 6 Professional?

anyone have a version of windows mobile 6 professional? i would like to try it specifically.. anyway.. i really would like the newest possible version of wm6, possibly stock if thats at all possible... i appreciate any and all input here. thanks to everyone
after doing a little bit of research.. we are all apparently running wm6 professional.. it is just referring to the type.. I pulled this from wikipedia {Windows Mobile 6 Standard for Smartphones (phones without touchscreens), Windows Mobile 6 Professional for PDAs with phone functionality (Pocket PC Phone Edition), and Windows Mobile 6 Classic for plain PDAs without cellular radios}. I thought there was a new version because i saw some screenshots that had OneNote in the Office Mobile folder. If anyone has a version of WM6 that was actually released by Microsoft, I would really like to mess around with it. If anyone has any input, its appreciated.
I agree that the new "version" names are a bit misleading.
I was confused too when I first saw professional/classic.
They should've just left it as WM6 and WM6: Phone Edition.
anyone know what the newest version so far is? i wanna try something realllyyy new..
omg omg, You are addicted!
haha.. yes i know its bad
The latest build is 5.2.1413 and only mUn have it..
Universal, triniyi, hermes and other device already have thid build..
we are the only one that doesnt have this..

If you have OneNote 2007 installed on your desktop, it will prompt you if you want to install OneNote Mobile when you sync your device.

I'm not trying to be conceited here, but I do believe my WM6 Business Edition is as close to a factory released ROM as you're going to get. It has very few tweaks on it, but it is very stable and has all of the applications such as MMS, Java, a .pdf reader and PIM Backup. It's pretty much "flash-and-forget".

Thinking of rolling back to WM5

Hey,
When I bought my Universal from ebay it already came with WM6 (a very buggy version, not sure from where). So I never really had the chance to test WM5.
I'm mostly having problems installing Hebrew support on the cooked roms. For instance PDAC (one of the companies who make hebrew for PPC) told me that because their software detects my device as WM5 their licensing system won't allow me to install (by the way, is there a work around this problem? This is all legit of course I want to buy this software).
I'm not going to ask what are the official differences because I can find more than enough about it on the web, but is there really a technical reason to stay with a cooked WM6 (being somewhat buggy)? Besides being prettier are the cooked roms giving any advantage over WM5 ? From my understanding both operating systems are pretty much the same besides the included software.
Thanks
[edit]
By the way I want to emphasize that I REALLY TRULY appreciate the effort spent into making these cooked roms. SERIOUSLY. This isn't a complaint thread!
[/edit]
Yeah im think about downgrading but to be honest just flash with a good WM6 rom and then wait a bit and more software will come out its still a new OS and i like being like the elite few lol with WM6 thanks to XDA Developers!

Perhaps I will downgrade temporarily. My main concern is Hebrew support. Besides that everything else works just fine.
I would like to roll back to WM5 as well and tried Jwright's and Helmi's one. Both of them gave me surprising stable and reasonable fast experience. But one thing keeps me coming back to WM6 is the WAY MORE intelligence way of dialing a phone.
I am now still looking for a WM5 rom which is as stable as those I had quoted and WITH the Smartdialing function.
Any ideas? please share.

From the things I saw in the official O2 installation I made:
- Sim contacts don't appear as regular contacts
- Outlook looks like the horrible outlook I had in my old PocketPC2002
- The phone dialer is not responsive and very buggy
- Overall slower than WM6
I'm personally not having any problems with WiFi in WM6.
And yeah I don't use video call or MMS I don't use any G3 features.
Oh.. you used the official WM5 from O2. I wouldn't use that myself.. too darn slow and lots of missing features. I'm using Jwright's ROM... anyway, it's just personal preference. I'd rather have all the features that my Universal can offer with WM5 rather than have a better looking WM6 ROM with buggy and missing features.

Windows Mobile 6.5 has gone gold?

Just found this article over on Engadget that proclaims that (via Twitter) Microsoft has announced that 6.5 has, indeed, gone gold.
Engadget Post here.
Cool, but haven't most of us flashed to some cooked v. already? Neat, but mundane-ish.
Sounds great! I hope microsoft will release it soon.
Can I still get it when my phone isn't flashed and is still on default software?
Ok, for those of you who had the at&t "Tilt" (Kaiser), if we use the same timeline....MS RTM'd 6.5, let's say they ship it in July. If we use that as a benchmark, and remember how long it took at&t to release 6.1 for the Tilt, it will be December 09 at the EARLIEST before we could see (if at all) 6.5 show up "officially" on the Touch Pro. LOL.......
If it wasn't for the cooks on XDA, we'd be slaves to whenever the carriers would get around to releasing updates. "Timely manor" is not in their vocabulary.

Chill man, it's sarcasm. Did ya notice the eyes rolling? But it's not going to be a whole lot diff except for hopefully less buggy, and the beta's I've been running have been really pretty solid for the most part. I'm looking forward to this as much as anybody. Lets loosen up. Life's way to short.
Good news, but I don't think there will be many differences with current custom 6.5 roms. Of course it's good to have the latest stable version as the base for custom roms.

Might not be "gold" but the roms on XDA are pretty good. Installed 6.5 last night, MUCH faster than 6.1. UI has NO lag.

He has the default wm6.5 interface (called chrome) & the tf3d interface. You simply toggle the one you want from the today screen.
My Fuze is MUCH faster... no screen lag, even when rotating. I'm still using the TF3D interface, haven't had much time to tinker with anything...too busy at work. If you've never flashed one, other than a rom update from a carrier (if yours is carrier locked), you'll need to do some reading. Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
Simple, straight forward steps on how to flash one.
I already knew what I needed, but ran the instructions step by step..."stupidly simple" as I like to call it. Once you get hard SPL changed,
flashing is the same (if you use the Rom Update Utility). It updates, reboots, and you are done.

With TF3D or with the new 6.5 look?

I have been waiting for 6.5 to be out of beta before flashing. I will probably flash 6.5 tonight anyways...even if 6.5 is gold...it will be awhile before we get our hands on an offical release.
Yeah, if you have an at&t fuze....I remember when the 6.1 update came out...it took at&t over 6 months to finally release it "officially".
The 6.5 is the first "cooked" rom I've used. I won't use a "carrier" rom update
again. These are for lack of another term, bloat free.
This one has a few apps and some really nice tools that i download and install
anyway. The program "update" utility is really nice to have.

I chg's the rom on my Tilt from 6.0 to 6.1 and would like to do the same on my Fuze 6.1 to 6.5. Can this be done without reinstalling all my software or was it like the Tilt, start from scratch?
Start from scratch. One of the guys at work changed his tilt from 6.1 to 6.5 and loves it.

getting 6.5
Im very sure this is a noob question but how do I get WM 6.5? My AT&T Fuze (which is aparently the "raphael" ) I have 6.1 and whenever I use WM update it tells me I have the latest version. wtf. or is 6.5 even officialy out yet?

It's not officially out yet as I understand.
The link posted within the quote from my post above will take you where you need to go for the 6.5 rom. I haven't done it yet and it was really painless on my Tilt when I had it.
I am assuming that this ROM doesn't contain the bloatware that we have to deal with in the official "AT&T" ROM. I mention this cause there was a little trick that had to be done in order to bypass the bloatware load. It really wasn't that tough although it did take me a coule of tries before I got it right.
If you haven't modified your phone much then just follow the instructions. If you've added software and other tweeks... you will have to reload them again (based on the reply from "p51d007").
If you need help this board is awesome. Also you can send me a PM and I'll try to help best I can.
