does anybody know if there is a software (for smartphones running wm6) that would allow the phone to act as a universal remote?
something like nevo?
re:
tried a lot of programs that would make your pocket pc like a universal remote but they don't work.. and you have to get a specific code for the model of the TV or AIrcon etc...
ok. not quite universal then. is there something that has like a database of devices? just like nevo does?
the IR driver of omap wm smartphones is poor, so the TV IR does not 'see' the IR beams...
however, the IR dirver from iphone rom is better (this driver can be included in other ROMS, right now I have it on my custom WM6 rom), the TV ir can feel those beams, but there is no software avaiable unfurtoantely..
all the remote control software are for Samsung/intel based smartphone
if someone who knows more about TV ir/ir beams can make such a program for OMAP based smartphones..
try vito remote control it works in wm6
last time i've tried my phona hung.. maybe that's because is for intel/samsung based smartphones
i did try vito but it sucks! anything else? vito has no remote control database.

it sucked, but did it work? i think i will try.
so its really just the drivers that effect the IR? can this be modified in the registry? or is there a cab we can install from the iphone rom? is there anyway we can modify it right now? im using wm6.
Samsung Processors=>accept consumer and IrDa,
TiOmap Processors only IrDa..i still waiting for jears for an solution
here are the IR *.dll form iphone rom
don't know if it work just by replacing the *.dll.. give a try
Hmmm...my Phone hangs in IR Learning-Mode with your .dll...it response..and crash.Maybe a Hardcore-Coder can "catch" the IR-Signal,and "pass" it to an "Interpreter-Tool".But it sounds like to grab deep into the System...
@DSF;
May you provide a Tornado Rom Kitchen? For now,my phone crash "after" the first Bootscren, but in the second Image Screen it freeze again...one step more,sure,but not enought!!
!!!NEW MESSAGE!!!
It seems,NoviiRemoteDeluxe 4.x works with Omap850...but it is for PPC,
hmm, nice :d. have you tried it? use SPhelper for controling or other cursor emulator app..
....and the second app that will work with TiOmap 720,750 and 850...for PPC,too.Ive dumped the files and copy them to my phone, with no response...how sad!!!
Here a Link

which dll files were u using? your original ones or the ones from the iphone rom?
dll
both...first with the Iphone dll,then the original. First my phone hangs (IPhone dll),then it gives no response(original dll).Need more improvement...
sounds like to me Omap processors just wont work. i mean all of the companies that put their money into making tv remote apps for smartphone and pocket pc, and none of them have been able to get Omap working.
besides, i have this box that recieves infrared signals and flashes a red light when it recieves a signal, and when i point my phone at it i have to have it no further than 1 1/2 inches away for it to even see the infrared. i cant see how we can get it to work at a reasonable distance if it's already so close range.
dang that sucks!

just send the phone down the toilet, is the same thing as putting windows mobile on it
afaik there are no touchscreen drivers for winmo. otherwise it'd work. but i don't really see, why someone should want sth. like that!?

Why buy an Android OS phone if you want Windows Mobile on it?
Your sense =/= sense
Because on this phone Bluetooth is not working and I want to use tomtom navigator. Thats why I want to delete Android and punt WM 6.5 in it.

Why would you think it's the OS and not the ROM or phone itself?
is there a possibilty to install TomTom? Or another (Offline!) navigator???

Copilot live works good.
iGO
There is also iGO 8. I just installed it lastnight and it looks like its going to run very well. Search around, the files are out there in Google-land.
Google Maps (as of Android 1.6) already has navigation but you have to be online for it obviously. I don't think there's enough memory short of the SD card to store a complete mapping solution. And Google Map's API Licensing restriction prevents 3rd party apps/devices to provide turn-by-turn direction via the phone.
android is the greatest OS for a phone, ever
windows mobile is one of the worst mobile OS's ever..
use ndrive, its an amazing software.
igo8 is okay, not to my liking though
sygic is great but seems a little sluggish, and its more geared towards europeans rather than north americans
copilot is suposed to be a good one, i havnt tried it though
WinMo?
This is definitely the first I've seen of this request... WinMo users are scrambling to get Android on their phones... but never to get rid of Android... lol. I definitely agree that flushing the phone would get the same thing done though. As far as GPS navigation I use Google. 4.0 works great for me! But then again, I'm in the US. I think there is a way to activate international functionality on Google Maps but I don't know.
it's for a collegue of mine, I have an Diamond2, of which I'm very happy with.
But she bought this phone to have navigation (offline). But after buying she realised there is no tomtom for Android yet, so my idea was to install a new rom with WM.
I will look for these programs, and test them offline. So there is no map i can install on a SD and navigate with the internal GPS? Because she doesn't have internet on her device.

we already mentioned iGO. It is a complete offline software for navigation.

The problem with that idea is that Windows Mobile is only software, there's next to no chance that said WinMo Rom is gona have the driver support for all the hardware used in the android intended device which could leave you back to square one if you ever managed it but still couldn't hook up the tomtom, nor able to utilize the SD card for storage.
Also since WinMo is not open source, chances of making drivers for it is much harder than someone making drivers for android given the source.

every app i mentioned has offline maps you can store on your SD card..
if you want something like tomtom then use sygic, its pretty much the same thing..
from all the satnavs i used garmin mobile xt is by far the best one ever...but its not for android..atleast not yet.

yea exactly, its very hard to use windows mobile on a device thats not meant for it
whereas its much easier to port android into a different device due to open source (android on the samsung i900 omnia for example)
It's a joke? Windows Mobile?
I would really love to use a WP7 as my main phone. However I have 2 deal-making requirements:
1) Bluetooth DUN profile
I have a Mercedes Comand Online in my car which requires Bluetooth DUN capability, From what I've seen, even the Mango update won't address this? I assume there can't be any 3rd party apps available due to lack of APIs?
Even the Blackberry supports this functionality.
2) Wifi Tethering
For me, it is staggering how the WP7 doesn't support this and I haven't read anywhere in the Mango updates that WP7 will support wireless tethering. Again, is there any possibility that this will be possible?
Android and IOS allow these functionalities via jailbroken or unlocked software. For me, if WP7 is serious about making headway into the market, Microsoft need to cater for gaps in the market.
2) Wifi Tethering
Actually this will be available in Mango but as a hidden feature , Soon we will know how to enable it.
The first one is up to MS to make as nothing can be done to change any core functionality of this OS
Thanks, Wifi tethering sounds promising. Particularly if you can use it in stealth to stop carriers from charging you extra for tethering.
You can do this on IOS with Mi-wi or PDAnet.
As for the bluetooth issue, I just hope Microsoft get their act together but it doesn't sound like it will happen anytime soon! Do you know if Bluetooth PAN is / will be supported?
2) Wifi Tethering

Yes, it's included into MANGO update.
But it need proper drivers with internal support;
HTC WP7F doesn't have such drivers for now.
It seems they built in such kind of support inside driver in HTC WP7S (Omega, Entitle) but there also used new BCM4330 seems. So it's not very backward compatible with BCM4329.
1) Bluetooth DUN profile
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There also some drivers was added in MANGO, but they are unused seems for now.
Worth noting that Bluetooth access is probably possible using native DLLs. The APIs are still there, and if you have a WinCE dev kit you can code against them.
Currently we can't use homebrew native DLLs in Mango, but Heathclif74 says he's got a way to fix that. This would mean you could run any code you wanted to, even in Mango.
I think you should add this app into settings (I'm going to do it myself later, but maybe it would be nice feature for everyone? )

Hi all,
lately I installed youwave on my pc and experienced that one can really use whatsapp to chat with other users which have an actual android/iOS/windows/etc device. Next I tried to install android to my pc using VirtualBox, but when I installed whatsapp I got a message "unable to identify your device" which is understandable. But then I started to wonder, how could youwave get the job done where VB did not? After trying to install some other versions of android to my pc I figured that you couldn't install your own apps but only the ones which were in the preset app market. For example there was no OI Filemanagement which is there in the real app market. The best thing about youwave was that one version of whatsapp didn't work, but then I downloaded the newest version from whatsapp.com and it worked fine. I realised and tested that this would not work in my VB version of android.
I'm not a real hero with porting and virtual stuff, but now I'm trying to understand how youwave works in this. And my question for you here is, is it possible to achieve what youwave does myself with VirtualBox? If yes, how would I do that?
When I think about it I think you must achieve some of the following:
- Make VB think your pc is a HTC Sensation (in my case);
- Install the clockworkmod and rom manager to your virtual Sensation.
- Make a backup of your real phone in recovery mode and use this backup to recover your virtual one.
- Then someway, share your PC's network with your phone by making it think it has a wireless network in range?
- Install the newest whatsapp (which worked in youwave)
You'll probably think why the heck doesn't he JUST use youwave. There are several reasons, the most important one is I do not have a creditcard and do not even want to spent a lot of money just to whatsapp on my pc for fun. Besides I want to understand the proces of porting android to your pc and using it like it was a real phone, like with the google addon etc. And I don't like the UI of youwave.
So, if anyone knows if any of this is possible, I would appreciate your help. I think I saw someone somewhere talking about porting a backup of his phone to his PC but I can't remember where. I'm not asking you to come over to me and install everything for me but I just like an explanation where to start and what my possibilities are.
Anyway thanks for your attention.
Hi .. please where I can download Twitter_1.5.0.xap, facebook_2.8.0.xap and Whatsapp_2.8.10.xap, because I can not install from the marked on my HTC HD2 with ROM Windows Phone 7.8
I need to install this programs on my HD2 with USB.
I don't think this is possible. Even if you have XAP files, you have to reinstall them every half a year, because apps installed from Visual Studio are time limited.
I don't think it's possible/efficient because AFAIK you can't connect using older versions of apps. Just ask for a working market won't you?

Hi :good:Thanks for answering me. I install the old version of facebook and works well. But not so with the old whatsapp. I searched with Google a long time but could not find the new versions. With Android never had this problem, searching the web you can find any of the marked application without problem. So far I have not found any updated applications on the web for download to my pc.

Hi Sunny.. I now use the old Facebook 1.0.0 application from Microsoft on my HD2 and it works great, despite being old works well, but what I want is to have my Windows Phone 7.8 with the latest software of Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter.
I can not install programs directly from the market because my WP HD2 I can not activate the Windows Live account.
I need activation WP with my Windows Live account.
I am an expert in making changes to my HD2 ROM :fingers-crossed:. I use Android since I bought my phone, but now I want to experiment with WP. These three programs are the basis for daily use of a smartphone.
