Real VGA that works! (tested on LAurentius' and beast's AKU 0.5 (v1 update)

after searching and searching for possible resource files for an ozVGA hack... i accidentally stumbled upon a VGA hack from somewhere in the forums... didnt know it will work but just tested it anyhow...and wow! first time i was able to appreciate real VGA in all its glory... no more missing icons or displays...
important!!! i am not the author of this software... i just found it and would like to share it to my current family (UNiversal).... hehe!
all credits go to the author, tobias.waldvogel in the athena forums! cheers! you made a working REAL VGA program! finally!!!!
what is good about the program:
1) you can choose 96, 128 or 192 dpi settings
2) all icons/notifications/etc can can be seen
3) texts in the today bar are all present! (signal, battery, clock, volume, etc)
4) now you can use the htc home plugin with no problem! (in REAL vga)
5) very very minor font issues
***I am not liable for hard resets! i just want to share! if you're not sure what you're doing, maybe you should wait for other people to try it first and wait for their opinion on this software
sorry for 1 link only... i cannot upload it here... tried about 4 times already..

Excellent find ! Works with my old trusted Darkforce rom. These threads are indeed a treasure trove. Keep finding excellent software.

Great software, thanks mate! Works with Midget_1990 v1.0!

Yup, confirmed working & stable in Uni after 3 days of use. HTC Home now displays better although notification counts still cut-off/partially hidden at 128 dpi. Most progs are compatible except in my case 1-calc.
Credit should be given to: tobias.waldvogel of Athena forum here at XDA-Dev on the thread pointed out above by fallenczar!

I'm interested to learn about the application of real-VGA.
Why we will be needing real-VGA where we have high resolution in PIE...?

been following the development of this app from the athena forum and this latest release is really impressive.
the original thread is vga 144. thanks to tobias.

My GOD!!!!It becomes qtek 9000 screen beautiful!!!!
Incredible work!!

First of all congratulations ranju for the nice ROM (judging from the posts in your thread)!
With RealVGA we get to use HTC Home Today plugin which doesn't display well in QVGA. A lot of today screen space is also realized as well as getting to see a lot more on the screen on other VGA-aware progs. The drawback is when non VGA-aware programs are run, the fonts (& icons) are veeery small to be read/seen.
Can't comment on games as I don't use mine for that kind of stuff, but some say that VGA games are cool in Real VGA!

can someone post the cab file here? it keeps bumming me saying the rapidshare download limit has reached
thanks in advance!

I got an error: using higher resolutions, if I would like to set alarm, got error message: "No program memory available...".
Switch back to 192dpi everything is working normally.

YES! I also got this error!
And I found some error about Windows Live, the icon of MSN Messeger are wrongly displayed.
offiline logo = online
DND logo = offline

I've just downloaded and installed this file, and let me thank you for this.
And... Here is my two cents, i just wanted to share my experiences on how programs behaved in this mode.
The icons at SPB Today plugin doesn't display.
The Task manager icon is corrupted and is hard to click on it.
I've resetted my PDA twice since i installed this and both resets required another reset since it stuck at windows logo.
When i opened VC Painter.. well, it kinda crashed and i had to reset.
I've opened Pocket Artist, it works well except the icons at the toolbar can not be seen unless you click and wait on over them.
Opera seems better this way, you really enjoy browsing in fullscreen. Well, at least whilst opera "can" open web sites as it's supposed to be. I still am struggling for using meebo.com.
Minimo, the browser that i could barely have had any surfing experiences since it drives me crazy, is worse than Opera at browsing but works at RealVGA mode, well... kinda! (It crashed again when i tried opening a website.
The dialer skin doesn't fit the screen good enough. It has a blank space at down as big as the "Hide Keypad - Menu" bar is.
In this mode, viewing photos is a feast since you can view them in their original resolutions.
Resco Audio Recorder application denies the screen res. and tries to open like it was in back. It feels like they've coded their program to fill the screen according to ratios. Looks bad.
Wohoo! Keepass looks fantastic!
Novii Remote doesn't run at this screen resolution... *sniff*
pTravelAlarm's skin looks like crap, pity...
psShutXP feels more like real,
Voice2Go behaves just like Vito Audio Notes,
There're some minor font issues when i was exploring settings...
Oh and, it drains memory!

hi dreamtheater... i also had the same problem before...
i think these are the files i used for the htc home plugin....
htc home plugin: rt HTC home 2.0
htc home plugin customizer: HHCv08b.cab
this home plugin is the one with the 6 tabs... you can enable this using the customizer... you can also change the clock skins, icons, etc.
makes your home plugin look even better...
no other requirements except that you must be in wm6 for this particular plugin i posted (and in realVGA to get correct display).... i know i read somewhere that they were able to make a Cab to make the htc home plugin run on a wm5 device...

I tried to search but seems like forever for me to find a WM5 compatible HTC home plugin. Anyone kind enough to point me some directions?

im not sure about this but it was tested on an apache running wm5...
maybe you can try it and confirm so that others can use it too

LocationFree for PPC

Ok - I am looking for some way to run Sony's LocationFree on my PPC. There used to be a solution called NetFront LocationFree Player, but it is no longer being sold. Even the places that say they have it - don't.
Is there any other frontend software that I can use. I don't want to changes solutions completely (aka Slingbox or Orb) since I use my PSP heavily with this service.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. (Or if you know where I can buy that software would work too!) Thanks!

Bump...
Im looking for this too, I just got a location free box. Anyone know how to get this working with ppc?
Thanks

Well you guys should checkout ORB.COM. Its easy, free!, and does everything.
It turns your PC into a server (location free) that just runs in the background.
works perfect on my tilt!

I need this too!
Anyone care to send me a copy? I'm having trouble finding this, legally or illegally ;-)
There has been a whole load of LFPK1s being sold off recently for £25/$20 by Staples USA and PC World/Currys in the UK, making it a bargain.
Thank you in advance. It's crazy of Sony not to offer this software anymore.

I'm also looking for a CAB of this...I've actually even emailed hadango, I'm hoping they'll eventually get back to me on this one.

I have Netfront Location Free Player
I am not sure if I can post it on the forum, or about it's legality. I don't see how it would be a problem since it apparently is abandonware now.
If I get the go ahead from XDA I would happily provide the cab.
EDIT: Attached zip of the cab file.

the cab actually wont help because there is no way to get a serial. trust me on this. ive even emailed netfront/access about it. serials only work on one unit and no one who uses this is giving up their code.

I'm a little confused. All the media that I want like pictures and videos, I can easily put right on my phone. The only reason I would want Orb would be to stream my cable tv. After spending the money on a decent tuner card, I could have just bought a Slingbox. What are the advantages of Orb?

any update on this?
i do not want to use orb as it means having my pc on all the time,
i would like to use my locationfree player as it works so well with my psp.
gutted if i cant use this

anyone have it to send me? i have bought it i just cant download it anywhere

Hi, I am interested in the cab for this abandonware software....plz. post a link to this cab. I purchased location free basestation 2 months ago.....i have htc touch pro and would like to put it to good use.
thanks

I attached a zip of the cab in Post 6 if anyone wants. I do not feel comfortable placing a registration key on the site, but if anyone needs one you can try to IM (please don't PM me, I rarely check it).

hi i'm intrested on this software and and i thank you for the NLFplayer cab
if you please can send me the serial key to [email protected] thank you

MusicID (shazam)

Hi all,
From yesterday MusicID is no longer working.
I got the following result after it analyses music
Track: Ugrade Now!
Artist: Get Shazam
I got an upgrade link that leads me nowhere (this is not possible to go any futher).
Anyone knows why?
I visited www.shazam.com put there are no WM version available. But there are RIM, iPhone, Symbian, Android,... versions...
Any MusicID alternative? (I know that Samsung developped a similar application, available with the new i8000 Omnia 2)
Thx in advance for your help.

Still working for me
I hadn't used it in awhile, so I fired it up after reading your post.
It could be the version you have installed. Someone said that at least one of the versions was tied to a particular persons account, so that account could at some point stop working, but that's just a theory.
I'm using 1.3.16_QVGA by Lepsyfou.

try www.musicid2.com

Alternative found
Just follow this link: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/08...app-ported-for-all-windows-mobile-phones.html
This app is even better than Shazam as you can sing or hum a song in order to find the author name and the title of the track.
It works just perfect on my Touch HD!!!

Great find!
The UI fits the HD much better too. The reg edit to make it work from the phones data connection as well as wifi is a bit annoying, but worth the small hassle
Thanks for the update Dino.

Works perfect on my TP2 as well

1800 link seems to imply its no longer freely available, and the downloads gone.
Its available free of charge here and seems to be most recent version, works perfectly on my HD2 without any need for registry hacks.

Remote..

A mate of mine has App called I-remote for the Iphone (you may have to google it because it won't let me post any outside links)
I have searched everywhere i can think of with no luck.. so i was wondering if any of you know of something like this for the HD2?
Many thanks in advance..

I don't know who that us.
(said in a Brian Butterfield voice).
I'm assuming it allows you to remotely control your phone. If that's the case then you want the excellent MyMobiler from http://www.mymobiler.com/
Alternatively, you may be asking to remote a PC from your phone. For that, you want Remote Desktop, which comes with the device.
It's better than a box!
(said in a Brian Butterfield voice).
PS. If you don't know who Brian Butterfield is, look for him on YouTube

Actually, I've google for it and see what it is now, and it's neither of the above. (You should still look up Brian Butterfield though )
A similar app exists on xda somewhere, so I'm sure that someone will be able to point you in the right direction. I can't remember what it's called though, so I can't help

I think this should suit your needs...
http://www.mobilesrc.com/mobileremote.aspx
I get there in the end

Thanks for the reply... i've seen that one.....(i may just get it anyway) My pc is just a media server, which is hooked to to my TV, All i want to be able to do is access my Music over my Network via my phone without the need to have the TV on.

I can see why you got that app now (after a search) use this search string in google and choose the top link "apple itunes remote" that will give you the software i was on about..

Okay, I get what you're after now (this thread has turned into an archive of "remote" apps! lol)
You can do this with VLC and this...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlcremote/
I don't know of any that control iTunes, but I wouldn't imagine you want something specific to an Apple product on a Windows device, so I'm guessing that VLC will be good enough for your needs.
Hope this helps

Cheers matie... I don't use i tunes... just windows media player....
I did find this alloysoft.com but just looking to see if it will run on the HD2 (winmo 6.5) ...

You need "1-2 Remote" (http://www.sfr-software.de/12remoteen/) It interfaces with your itunes and WM player. I use it myself. Very good prog.
Cheers

Also, check out G-Remote - very simple remote for XBMC, WinAmp, or an other program in a sexy(ish) interface!
What makes it stand out for me is that you can browse your music/videos on your PHONE, click play, and it launches on the PC.

Hey, dont you Guys dont know that already a remote desktop aplication is installed on The HTC HD2. De name of the app is:

bluetooth printing?

searched high an low and found a bunch of nothing except jetset print5 which i wouldnt mind but mighty rom doesnt have it.
does anyone know where i might be able to dl it or if anyone knows of a better app that would be great.....thanks.

ok, so no one knows, how bout this....does anyone know how i can take the jetcet print 5 off my old touch pro and then install it onto my tp2?

Hi Tregrad,
You could try CAB'ing one of the version found in the TouchPRO/Fuze OEM Repository.
I do suggest contacting Weksttek before going through the effort however so as to confirm that JETCET Print is compatible with the new Bluetooth implementation found on the TouchPRO2/Tilt2 and WinMO 6.5.x.
Cheers,

Here you go. Jetset Print 5 all in a nice little cab. I installed it on my TP2 (which it did install to the main memory) to check it out but I have no way to test it. Give it a spin and see if it works out for you. Hope this helps.

that's what I call service. I was going to suggest looking in the windows marketplace, that's where I got my install of it.

awesome PRB thanks a lot i really appreciate it!! I believe there is a 5.1 version out there but this will do just fine, again...... THANKS!
I looked all over the place for it but it costs money and it comes with teh phone so i didnt think i should have to buy it when i have phones that already have it on it.

wow having a real hard time setting it up. will try again later

As pointed out my earlier reply, certain versions of JETCET Print are not compatible with the new Bluetooth implementation (stack) that is present in WinMO 6.5.x and WinMO 6.1.21000+. The best approach to use would be to download the trial version and test it before hand - since it's the latest version.
Here's a link on the subject from about a year ago:

Yea i thought he would follow your advise because you posted as i was typing my reply & uploading the cab i found. I was unaware of the different versions for the new bluetooth implemintation. I did not create the cab I just found it. I was also unable to test the cab as i do not have bluetooth capability on my printer. You advice was probably the best course of action.

I browsed through their Online Support knowledgebase and discovered that there is a 5.4.1198 version floating around. I also noticed these KB articles which confirm my suspicion that earlier version will likely be problematic on new versions of devices:
4516: What Bluetooth stacks does JETCET PRINT support?
7813: What printers does JETCET PRINT v5.2.1059 support?
7839: The HTC HD2 and HTC Touch 2 with JETCET PRINT 5.4.1187 in ROM are unable to locate the PlanOn printer via Bluetooth. What is the problem?
