Add Sprint Nav to default program list? - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

I'm a total noob with android, linix and being any help to this forum
That being said, I noticed when you're in google search or in the browser and click an address sprint's nav isn't an option as a "default" program to use. I would really like to fix this but have no idea where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I vow to share this info with the community!

Well Sprint Nav isn't part of Android 1.5 which is what the Hero has by default. So it wouldn't show. We have to wait for 2.0 or 2.1 and even then I don't know if that shows as an option.

If i'm understanding you correctly sprint nav isn't included in the stock rom... That's incorrect. it was including on my stock hero (sprint) and on fresh 1.0. I've found you can edit the "androidmanifest.xml" in the apk but i can't open it using xml notepad (invalid character). Any help on recommendation for what editor to use? if i can get this to work i'll post the .apk with the fix so you can just replace it.
*update
so i found an editor that works, not i just need to find the string to add to add it to complete action list.
*update
I found the string is listed as "intention" now we just need the command to make it "navigate to"

+1
i've been seriously disappointed that i'm unable to do this, so if anyone has any solid information as to whether or not this is possible, it'd be quite helpful.
and yes, if you were saying sprint nav wasn't included in the stock rom, it most certainly is. just my 2¢.

Closest I got to having Sprint nav being default is in my phonebook, I tried the browser but it only let's you choose between browser and Google maps (y would anyone use the browser?!??)

so no takers? I thought this might be easy for a dev!

Will 'Touch Settings' Program from Elf work for Polaris?

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.

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.

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

Newbie Needs Help

Hi Guys!
I am new to this forum but already amazed by the sheer amount of content on here!
As per the title of the thread, I am a newbie to XDA's and I was wondering if any of you learned gents would be kind enough to point me in the right direction with a few questions I have about my recently acquired O2 XDA Serra. I have done searches and read the WIKI but there are a few points I could not find an answer to so was counting on your help.
The specs of the machine listed in settings -> system -> device information are:
ROM Version: 1.90.206.4 WWE
ROM Date: 09/01/08
Radio Version: 1.02.25.19
Protocol Version: 52.33.25.17H
Model No: Xda_Serra
I have noticed that unlike my girlfriends XDA Ignito (Diamond) my phone did not come with any map software preloaded in spite of the spec sheet saying a GPS chip is built in to the phone. Also unlike with the Diamond there is no separate YouTube application.
So I would be very greatful if any of you fellows can direct me to where I can get some:
1) Good free map software that will work with the XDA Serra and some advice on how to install it (as I read a lot of GPS problems so want to avoid any issues)
2) Tell me how to get the YouTube application on my XDA Serra and again some advice on how to install it
Also I have read MrSkips very useful guide on how to flash a ROM to the raphael and I was wondering what the overall concensus is on which ROM version is the best? Are all released ROMs on here suitable for my XDA Serra?
Also, I have not unlocked my phone and I understand that there is no need to if I want to flash a new ROM on it unless I want to change the radio version or use other SIMs.
Is there any compelling reason why I would want to change the radio version from the one installed presently on the device? Will it serve to boost GSM/3G/GPS Signal?
If so what radio version is considered to be the best and most stable?
I just got the phone today so a bit hesitant to load ROMs on it straight away in case I brick it but I guess you live and learn so all advice to help me get the most out of the device is much appreciated.
Many thanks - you guys ROCK!!!

First let me remind you that the search feature is there and is quite useful. Second to start answering your questions.
As for GPS I use Google Maps. Which can be found here http://www.google.com/mobile/default/maps.html
As far as configuring the software to connect I update the satellites with "QuickGPS" which should be included on your phone. Then I open Google Maps and tell it to use the GPS, I usually have to be outside for it to connect.
For more GPS Stuff check this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427888
As for the Youtube app it may be included on your phone. Check this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448824
And finally as far as the radio is concerned there are a few out there but since the device is so new it will take some time before we know the benefits/downfalls of the different versions. Keep in mind that they may have different results in different areas of the world.
And as for flashing new roms if you have read the sticky located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008 then you should have all of the info needed to be successful. As for which rom it boils down to personal preference just read the threads and make an educated decision from there.
And remember the search feature is your friend.
Im a Fuze/Wm newb too!
When I search my contacts, it has every name doubled. I believe its also showing my SIM contacts. Is there a way to hide it or should I just delete the SIM contacts?
Thanks! (sorry for jumping in your thread OP!)

You can delete the sim contacts by going to the sim manager, selecting all, then delete (make sure not to select delete CONTACTS).
You could also disable viewing the sim contacts by searching for advanced config and look through the 'phone' options. They will then only show up in the sim manager and not the contacts menu.
Lost_Reaver,
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately some of your suggestions do not seem to apply to me.
In particular the GPS and YouTube app.
Please note that the ROM I have on my Raphael is specific to O2 UK and for some reason O2 UK has chosen not to include any of the following applications:
YouTube App
QuickGPS
Google Maps
As far as YouTube app is concerned, I used the search feature prior to posting and checked for the application in the following location: windows->youtube.exe. I did not find anything in the windows folder related to YouTube and as such was wondering if someone could tell me where I can get the YouTube app .cab file to install on my XDA Serra.
The same goes for QuickGPS / GoogleMaps. My XDA Serra does not have either of these applications pre-installed. They are not visible anywhere in the file structure of the device. I have since installed GoogleMaps by getting the .cab and am now having the problem that no matter how long I wait the XDA Serra does not achieve satelite lock.
You say that you are able to get lock using QuickGPS as a reciever prep app? If so where can I get QuickGPS from? Will it work on the XDA Serra? I ask because reviews of the device state that an equivalent to QuickGPS is embedded in the O2 ROM by the operator and for this reason QuickGPS was removed. If so, will installing QuickGPS cause more issues?
Anyone with a UK O2 XDA Serra care to comment?
Many thanks!

QuickGPS and Google Maps are CABs and the Youtube app needs to go in the "Windows" directory.

Lost_Reaver,
Your YouTube app .zip file did not work but I eventually managed to find both a streaming video .cab file and a youtube app .cab file for VGA resolution and it works great.
QuickGPS for some reason also did not work no matter what location I downloaded the file from your upload or others. However I installed GPS Tweaks and GPS Test and was able to get a signal on googlemaps with a couple up to 5 satelites. All be it a pretty weak one so going to try to do the GPS lag fix and maybe change radio to try to upgrade this issue.
The advance config utitlity works great and I did not know this existed so thanks for that!

Contact Manger with fingerfriendly option to edit contacts

Hey guys!
i got a little question about contact managers. if already tried a couple managers (like icontact, pocketcm) but in none of them i was able to find a way to edit my contacts more fingerfriendly. as soon as i wanted to edit a contact (new number, email, whatever) or create a new one i always had to use the standard windows mobile interface which sucks in my eyes.
so my questions:
is there a manager thats has a better gui to edit contacts? if yes which one?
do icontact, pocketcm already provide that option and i just didnt saw ít?
please help me and give me advice how you manage this "problem"
i hope i posted in the right forum otherwise please move it to the right section.

PocketCM does it. For new contact, edit contact, etc... the only thing that is still "windows mobile" is contact picture selection.

@claus: thx ill try it and give a freedback
@tene: which version are you using? any specific theme plugin or whatever? because in my version it dosnt work.
edit: @tene: yeah youre right the version i installed couple minutes ago offers that option but i got all sorts of problems with the themes of it and with the keyboard on my 6.5 rom. maybe ill have to try a different keyboard and check whether that will help. or maybe it does not work properly on wm6.5
@claus: well the function is good but the view is a little ugly...

MSN Weather Widget

Does anyone have a copy of the latest version of the MSN Weather widget in .widget, .wgt, or .cab format?
Before you jump down my throat and tell me to use the Search function... I have searched for hours and have come up empty handed. I have found many of the earlier versions, but none after version 1.1. The newest versions work with touch scrolling and have different features than the early versions.
I'm using a ROM that doesn't have it natively so I wanted to install it indepentantly. I like it better than any commercial or free weather app out there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That's actually the one I have been using. It doesn't support finger scrolling.
I have been looking for this too. It is on the Marketplace website but you have to download it via the Marketplace app. I tried this but it does not show up via the app!
I suspect this is a regional limitation or something. Perhaps somebody else will have more success and post a cab for us?
Thanks.
Do you have a numerical version of the widget that you are looking for? (not just "higher than 1.1")

I was able to find it on the WM Marketplace. The latest version is 1.7. I couldn't find it using the Markeplace application on my phone, but I got it by going HERE. I had to "purchase" it there (it's free btw) then log into my phone's Marketplace app to actually download it.
Even though it's directly from the Marketplace, it does not have the finger scrolling feature that I'm looking for. I was using JJBlaster's ROMs on my old Kaiser and the MSN Weather widget he included was able to scroll up and down using your finger.
Could someone else download it and put the version 1.7 widget in a CAB package? It's way easier to include a CAB in a new ROM flash's UC than to jump through all the hoops Marketplace makes you go through to get it. And also, could somebody somehow enable finger scrolling? I'm not sure how to do any of that.
Alright so I figured out that the reason my finger scrolling wasn't working had something to do with the Add Widgets or Enable Widgets cabs I had installed. I reflashed my ROM and did not install either cab, then installed the weather widget through the Marketplace and now finger scrolling now works with the latest widget. Next all I'd ask is for someone to put the MSN Weather widget from the marketplace into a cab so I can use it without the marketplace.
Bump.
Anyone know how to make a CAB out of the Windows Marketplace MSN Weather widget? How about from the attached widget file?
This seems newer
I'm not sure, but this seems a newer CAB and it worked great for me on 1.43 - am about to reinstall on 1.66 (VF UK)

Can someone please post NaviService.dll from a European HD2?

I've found that this dll controls the default navigation software in apps such as Navipanel and Footprints. On my Tmobile USA HD2, Telenav is provisioned as the default navigation software, but I would like to use Copilot instead. I've managed to hack a way to start Copilot but the commands in navipanel and such are hard coded to Telenav. I believe that the dll from any HD2 that has Copilot preinstalled will fix this. Thanks.
Adam
I am trying to do the same thing. I tried installing the cab found in

Hello,
here you go. Hope it helps !
Thanks, things are progressing on this. All of the buttons are enabled now and they open copilot. but they all open copilot to the map screen instead of opening to the appropriate feature. I'm going to keep working on this but if anyone has ideas let me know.
Thanks for the heads up. I too got mine to the point where CoPilot starts up but doesn't do anything specific. I think that we should look into the registry settings on a stock Euro HD2 and compare it to the ones on our TMOUS HD2's because that might be all thats keeping CoPilot from receiving the specific commands. But I don't exactly know how to do that. Is there such thing as a registry dump?
Adam
I use mobile registry editor v1.1 to look through the registry on the device but there are many programs built to do that. PHM Registry editor has an option to dump to .reg files.
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/S...try/PHM-Registry-Editor-Pocket-PC-20041.shtml
If someone can get us the dump of a stock european rom's registry we can see what's different. Otherwise I can flash over to one and dump it.
So as I understand it we are going to need some help here. because the T-Mobile USA phones can not flash to a european stock rom.
