Here is a port selection utility I wrote to configure GMM and other WM5 GPS API based applications on the Smartphone platform. Unzip, copy to your phone and run to select comm port for GMM to use.
Tested on HTC S620 but should be ok for DASH and other WM5 smartphones.
Enjoy!
NOTE: Changing the "enabled" state requires a phone restart to take effect including the initial run
Very nice work. If I hadn't already done it on my dash i'd test it for you. But I don't see why things would differ.
Good job, this should be very helpful to others.
Great job, it works on my dopod C720w. Thanks a lot!
thanks a lot worked like a charm i had done all the registry work but still without success but used the program to set to com6 and gmm finally saw the bt gps. thanks for the little program.
Thank you very much. Works on my Moto Q.

This app is for WM5 Smartphones.
PPCs have GPS config exposed in the settings page.
Thanks! Works fine on my SDA.
works great
Just thought I'd note to any n00b's out there that you need to have your phone app unlocked to make this work (due to teh fact that you are making registry changes). Don't ask me how I know
works on my tmobile dash, love it
Need Help
Hello folks!
Could someone please let me know how to setup the application - like the details on how to choosee the COM port?
I have installed the GoogleMaps and while installing the GPSCOM application, I had set it "Enabled" and selected 'COM6' and saved. Still, when trying to connect from GMM, I am getting the message, unable to locate the GPS device.
Any Help?
Thanks.
Try this on WM6
Hi,
What is the worst possible scenario in trying this on WM6?
working with the blackjack
I have a blackjack and the registry is locked for editing. When I ran this program I got an error along the same lines.
"
GPSCOM.exe
ExternalExeption
An error occured creating the registry key.
RegistryKey::CreateSubKey+0x65
RegistryKey::CreateSubkey+0x8
Form1::ctor+0xec
Form1:Mail+0xa
"
Is there a way to unlock the registry?
My Q doesn't run executeables (exe). Did I miss a step to run GPSCOM.exe on my Q?

If I recall there was a forum member with a Moto Q that reported it worked for him/her. Check back near the start of this thread and perhaps try contacting them ?

You need to set up a new outgoing com port to your GPS device.
Go into the communication manager.
Select settings/bluetooth settings
Menu/ COM Ports
Menu/ New Outgoing Port
Select your bluetooth device and make the port number the same as you used in the GPSCOM app (I think it defaults to 6). Then when you run google maps and track location (GPS) it should totally work.
Doesn't work with my dash for some reason.
Am I missing something?
Where exactly do I put the file? Because when I execute in my Dash, here's the message I get.
Error
An unexpected error has occurred in GPSCOM.exe.
Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.

You need to app unlock to run unsigned software which needs to edit the registry. See the first link here:

Not working on Q
I had Mapopolis working with my Route66 BTGPS on my Q but really like GMM. Installed GPSCOM set it to Com1 (also tried com9) and now both Mapopolis and GMM lock up just after the select device screen.
Help, please
Is the 'Touch Settings' program a posible alternative for changing which programs are called up by the Videos and the Music button within the cube or is it specific to the Elf?

yea im pretty sure it'll work. dont have a device though to make sure
Nope, I tried it (all versions) and it won't even install - I get the "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" error message. Maybe someone will modify this app for the polaris - it seems like it would be useful since HHC doesn't customize the cube and this does.
** Bump **
I'm another Polaris user (well, it's on pre-order at the moment). This 'Touch Settings' program sounds like exactly what I was hoping to be able to use.
Is there any chance the program can be adapted to work on the Polaris? Can anyone hazard a guess from psargent's "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" when installing error message as to what the problem might be since I realise that it isn't reasonable to expect people like the author of this program to have every device at their disposal but if possible fixes can be suggested then maybe it can be fixed "blind"? I for one would be more than happy to validate any possible fixed version on a real device.

Mine is on pre-order as well, and I would love to see this....
PoorlyDuck has some inspiring skins, and then there is this post, on a different site, that changes the cube to six sided.

I have posted a few different times to Carlos in the "Elf" forum regarding this topic. Unfortunately he has not responded. It would be nice to use this program versus making the neccessary adjustments to the registry manually. Just a note that permissions error I also received when trying to load to my Touch.
*Bump*
This would be great on the TC. I have found a few registry settings that look easy to change (for the 6 icon side), but a complete program would be better. It would be nice to have the media hub customized as well.

Sorry to hijack the thread but can you point me to the registry change to get the 6 sided cube?
Nope
Hi all,
I´ve got a German Orbit 2 aka TC and as far as I can see it doesen´t work. After installing all necessary files manually (due to rights-limitations) I can start the programm, but it doesen´t recognize my MediaMinihub. I can change the Phoo/Video/Music cube-side, but that´s it.
Maybe its because I got a German ROM...?
sorry for that.

Hi, I'm the author of Touch Settings and I would be very happy to work with the community to get it working on the Polaris.
The CAB install error you're getting is v interesting. Steps to take to try and cure this problem are:
1. The device may be app locked, you need to download a program called Device Security Manager, then with your Polaris connected to Activesync, disable all the security:
Look at this web page for more info.
2. Also, try installing the sdcerts if possible (again, see above web page)
3. Check Free Storage memory; lack of this can cause the problem.
Please can somebody try all the above with the NEW VERSION 2.22 OF TOUCH SETTINGS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556&goto=newpost)
If it doesn't work, I will upload a ZIP file of the individual files and we can try a manual installation.
Best

PS: I don't know an awful lot about security certs and device provisioning, so if any other developers can point me to a way of making the CAB install on the Polaris, please do.

The CAB install error you're getting is v interesting. Things to check first:
- Is the device app locked in some way: are the security certificates restrictive?
Look at THIS WEB PAGE: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/05/30/all-about-application-locked.aspx
...download the Device Security Manager, dock your Polaris and disable all the security.

Thx anyway for your great application.

Sorry to hear you've had problems. If you hard reset your device, your cube should revert to normal. If you are unwilling to hard reset your device, then if somebody could post a registry dump from a Polaris (clean, hard reset device) then I can post a fix CAB for you!

It works
Thanks Carlos, the 2.22pre version works very nice on my Couise.
I have only question:
If I try to change APLauncher layout I get a mesage "It seems that your HTC Touch Software is not recent....", but I can change the apps grid. What the message exactly means? There is any newer HTC Touch Cube version than what is on Cruise installed?
Tnx

Hey, I gota annoying GPRS problem!
I changed the setting of "Application with automatically Internet-access" and "Application with automatically ptivate Network-access" in "Connections"-Menu to "corporate-Network" (I don't know how these menus are called in english version of windows mobile) but if I start e.g. youtube.com the TCPMPlayer launches and GPRS (O2-Internet) connects..
I never wanted to use the slow and ecpensive O2-GPRS and I will never start it myself.
How can I do a full disable of o2 Internet-Connections?
But I can't install WM6 after Hardreset without "branding" because TomTom is placed in extended rom.

What I did on mine was to edit the settings so that all the login name had a little "x" at the end. This way I can always use it if I really needed it. The GPRS never connects.
Thanks man NoData ist a great App!
So it takes only a klick to reactivate if I need it.
1-install the attached cab.
2-change HKCU\Software\Melodis\Midomi\midomiGU IDType from 3 to 1
3-soft reset
4-enjoy
It works like a charm on my Topaz.
NB: don't click on menu of the application, it closes it!
Cab available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?hqjnydoy23m
Cool, it works very well!
Thank you very much for this gem, I was looking for something like this since musicid is not working on wvga, works like a charm, have you tryed to find a song by singing? I can just say WOW
Thanks, works very well
Here's the needed registry change as a CAB file, for those not wanting to mess with the registry. Apply after installing Midomi.

This works great, for those of us that aren't tone deaf...
It does what it has to, And even music none ever heard about, it finds

MusicID DOES work, there is a version that supports VGA (and WVGA). If you search the forum, there is a post somewhere with the relevant link.
I would be curious how does Midomi compare with MusicID in terms of successful finds. Does anyone know?

Same here. It works fine with wifi but not with 3g.
If you follow the instructions, change the key, it'll work on 3G. It does for me.

Is the programa suppose to estabish a 3G connenction by itself?
When I use it it tries to establish a connection but it stops after 2-3 seconds and it doesn't establish a connenction, meaning that no song can be found obviously.
If I establish a 3G connenction manually and then start up the program it does find the songs.
Does this happen to anyone else? Is there a fix for this? As in, that the programs itself establishes the data connention automatically?
Curious about your answers......
