Ok, what if I WANT PTT enabled!!!

Ok, so I've used Nextel before and don't care for PTT very often. However, PTT is pretty nice when you're doing cable jobs and have numerous brief calls.
I know I've seen a handful of ROMs that are PTT compatible, but am really looking for a more current one.
Is it possible to cook PTT back in using Alex's kitchen?
Does the base ROM have to be ATT?
Is it possible to dump say Laurentius' shiny new FAST rom and add it in?

OK What if YOU USED THE SEARCH FUNCTION?
I think You should ask about Cooking it in A Cooking Kitchen Thread.

Mods here is another redundant threadKyphur
Mods Please close this thread.
He told you right. But more importantly select a cooked rom that has PTT functionality already enabled. _Alex_ had one. I belive Sleuth did as well.

But what if i have a comment on this... Actually i dont think its redundant, no one has ripped PTT out and made it work, so im going to open it back up momentarily..
Im not sure if this will actually work, but it might be worth a try... the only issue you might run in to is with the dialer... you will need a PTT compatible dialer.

Thanks Shogun I'll give it a shot and see.
Other two guys - shut up. I know how to search after being on the forum for 2 years. Used forum search, google search, different search terms, you name it. I know I saw it, but can't find it...redundant thread my ass, see if you can find another thread like mine.

I re-opened the thread after being closed for a reason... dont make me close it again, so please play nice!

I'd have to agree with the OP. I use PTT on the daily, but a lot of the roms I like don't include it. I know it's a dialer issue, the question is, how do we fix it?
Sure we can use cabs and have *partial* functionality of PTT, but I'd really like to know who's chirping me regardless. The cabs don't give that. So since we all know it's a dialer issue, how do we fix it so that we can use any dialer *and* the PTT cabs?
That's where we need to focus. If only I could get a damn kitchen to run correctly on my laptop! LOL!

If someone can pull all the necessary stuff out for the horrible looking dialer, or make their own.. then we should be able to merge with my PTT cab and everything should be fine! I just dont know much about dialers..

Google Maps error

I searched to see if anyone posted and they didnt.
I go to www.google.com/gmm and it says "sorry, google maps does not work on your htc touchdual".....
Anyway to get google maps on my touch pro?????

DAMN! Im 110% its not on mine
I dont have any GPS software on my device, that sucks!
Anyway I can get a copy from your device?????
THANKS!

I have a better idea. Why don't you check out this thread chock-full-o applications for the Diamond. Scroll down and you'll find Google Maps and you may find other things that interest you as well. As the Diamond is very similar to the Touch Pro it should work. I got my iGo nav software up and running by reading a thread posted in the Diamond forum. So if you don't find what you're looking for over here, try over there. You may also want to try Windows Live Search. I believe the url is wls.live.com which you can download directly via your s...l...o...w... EDGE connection. Let us know how it works out.

thank you!!!!
i got it on my device but it will not show my location, it says looking for satelite.
tnx again

Also, if you're trying to download from www.google.com/gmm, make sure you use pocket IE. if you go to that website using opera, it identifies itself as a desktop browser and hence you get the error.

If you haven't already then try doing this:
1) Run QuickGPS and download latest satellite data.
2) In Google Maps select Menu->Use GPS.
Be patient the first time, it will take longer than usual to acquire a signal the first time you use it. QuickGPS should help to acquire a signal faster. If you are having trouble then make sure you are outside or close to a window with a direct view of the sky to test it, but it will probably work in the interior of your home too.

Ok so I used Internet Explorer as suggested on the board and was able to load it with no problem.
Thanks again and hope this post helps someone else.

free navitation?

Hi, i started posting this in another forum here on xda but i guess it will be better to post it here.
I am looking for a free gps-system to my HCT HD2, and by free i also mean offline!!
If anybody knows a way to reset the trial on CoPilot that would be fine too, but i'm not going to do a hard reset...
I have looked in the post with all the apps for HD2 under GPS but i cant find a free navigation system. I have tried the NavyComputer and i love the way it works, but theres no GPS inbuild (unless you record a road and then play it).
Thx Qwak

i know i might just should buy one but i know that if i buy the copilot v8, in a month there will be a CoPilot v9, so im really just looking for some freeware...
I know that i can keep saying that there will come something new out all the time and therefore i should not buy anything but i just dont need a GPS that much.. its most for fun...

Use google because there's too many apps to post. Some work in the way that you download the maps off google maps and it uses it's program to navigate through them. Just search and you'll find it. Only thing is, you get what you pay for. Some work great in some areas, but others report problems in others.

well..
I did a google search before posting but it came up with alot of programs that used the 3g-network to get the positions witch is not free, nor very precise!! Neigher of the programs had a navigations-system inbuild so it was just to see where you were and maybe record a road...
I was just hoping that someone had tried a good one and would share that with us...
Or mayeb if someone had a list of available gps-programs so i could test them myself...
Thx Qwak

such I already mentioned before, thair are two difrent gps cistems thay who worked on a stand alone based, I will mean thay have there maps on your sd and don't beet a 3g connection thay works
ore the sistems like Google maps, it is free but it needs 3g and I don't see it like a gps but more like a plan who says where you are.
by the way I don't know about withc software application you was talking about but with my full lecence I have access on evry update fore a year! and if I will next yer also have the new updates it caust me only 35$!? so I don't think a really software is so expensive!
certainly not if you can bay you a htc hd2, bay a gps license will also work!?
and if you are looking fore cracks; you lost your time here! the ruels are clear here.

Don't use google maps, use Bing maps since it has actual navigation.
I prefer it over google maps, for now.

Bing is great. you can find it in Marketplace.

thx
Thx for the bing app, its surely better than googlemaps, although its on english... anybody knows if theres a danish pack for it?

I incidently re-newed my Copilot Live 8 trial by simply removing the licp8.dat file from the windows folder! Good luck!

I have OnStar and compared it to Bing. Bing seems (MHO) a lot better than OnStar.
1. Cost is free with Bing compare to OnStar $ per year.
2. Can set up route prior to getting into car.
3. If I deviate from route, Bing immediately does a re-route without asking.
4. Bing notifies you of turns 1/2 mile, 1,000 Feet.
5. When you are close to destination, Bing tells you whether it is on the Right or Left side of road.
Again, just my opinion, any comments?

Cheers
Hi, I just wanted to say Thank you to Megarock. Removing the icp8.dat file gave me another 15 day trial to play with. Brill

omg, IT WORKS
Thanx soo much Megarock, now i have free copilot forever!!
Though, you have to set it up again every time, but i found a way around that:
1. Delete the licp8.dat form the windows folder.
2. Open copilot and set up a new account and all the other stuff
3. backup the new licp8.dat to your memory card
4. when the trial expires just delete the licp.dat and copy the other one to your windows-folder.
(the one you copy to the windows folder is the backup you made 15 days ago, just after finishing the setup)
Hoped it helped someone
Thx again, Qwak

GPS For Canals/Rivers in UK

hi,
i am looking for a GPS program that can be used on canals/waterways
can anyone help please?
thanks in advance

What are you wanting to do with the gps program, turn by turn navigation? I doubt that there is anything like that out there.
There are some OS map based programs that might be ok though.

it was for the parents to use in place of maps, my mum has a n1 too and is bang into it at 58!
which map based programs do you think are worth trying?

If you are just talking about canals, wouldn't google maps do the job? Like MrRalphMan said, you won't find a turn by turn for that I wouldn't think but surely google maps shows waterways doesn't it?

I forgot Google maps, that should be ok..
The one I was thinking of is Memory Map, this uses OS maps.

thanks for your help both, especially google maps! didnt cross my mind to check thar prior to asking.

"FREE" Satnav?

I had a BB 9700 until the other day (on orange contract), which came with free orange maps because of the plan im on. however i hav now found that said maps will not work on my htc hd2? wtf?!
Is there any way to either get orange maps to work, or install another satnav app, which wont charge me to use and/or download
Like i said only had the hd2 a couple of days (awesome i might add), so a complete newbie, so keep it simple please!
thanks

/10chara

most HD2s come with IGO and you get a free map, but personally i didnt like it. you could try google maps, which will do navigation but wont do the voice prompted directions (you can download it by going to m.google.com on your phone). i use google maps for walking, and i have garmin mobile xt with the city navigator europe map (which ive just updated ). if you know where to look, you could probably get this for free, but that isnt legal. i dont think thee is a great choice of free solutions. you could talk to orange, and maybe they will give you some money off your bill as the maps service doesnt work on the phone

My hd2 didn't come with igo so where can I get it? Took a quick look around and couldn't really find a clear answer

waze, google maps, bing there are lots...

Legal Free Navigation
Bing Maps has turn-based GPS guidance. So when you reach a turn it will show on the screen. For guidance it's better than Google Maps, but still not as good as TomTom etc.
It's search engine and street views are good.

The answer is within google, sorry I cant mention illegal sites

With the right .cab, map, and keygen, you can get TomTom 7 running on HD2.
I use TT7, as I find it better than the rest.
Would give links, but it is warez.
