Coordinates in Google Maps - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hello,
is there a way to show the coordinates in GoogleMaps?
Hope this is not a stupid question, but I can not find them.
I have the version 4.0.0(#81).
Thanks

No. It's not a stupid question at all!, the only stupid was the Google's developer who decided that this feature was irrelevant for ordinary people! I suppose that you, as me, want to be able to identify a place on Google maps, and copy the coordinates to your Navigator software or to the contacts , or send them to a friend to meet...etc
The only way is to "flash back" to the early 2008.... Attached you will find and old Google Maps version. which is the last when you were able to mark a point of the screen as beginning or as end of a itinerary, and then you could see the latitude,longitude and copy them to the copy-board.
The only problem is that you can't have both Google maps versions working together on your device ( or, at least I don't know how do it).
Now, what I do is having both cabs available and install the desired one over the other every time that I need it (it takes just a few seconds)
If someone knows how to have both apps working together, it would be great to share it!

Hello,
you .cab seems interesting, but can you create a version where the installation folder is not "Storage card" but "carte mémoire". Because when we try to install it on a french SPV it says there is not enough space as it tries to install on the phone memory instead of the Storage Card.
Thank you very much.
hi there i did not make the cab up but it found it on a newsgourp all i did was to give you guys all the info in one place to get tomtom working it works fine for me in the uk and as far as i know it works great with no problems on other peoples vox i have a vodafone v1415 with a 2 gig card and it works like i say no problem
I've been trying to install the cab on my HP 514 but it doesn't works...
DOes anyone know the requirement of the TomTOm 6 for smartphone? The display resolution at 172x220 is it ok?
Hi bsmiley, and thank you very much for this great package !
Well, I hope this doesn't sounds too lame but ... I'm already stuck in the beginning with ... Fakecursor !
The tutorial says "Press the button to go to the home screen. This 'll exit the FakeCursor but now the icon of the FakeCursor is on the bar"
But ... What is the "bar" ? When I'm going back to the homescreen, the cursor actually disappears, but there's no way for me to recover it without launching it again via the start menu. And of course, when i'm switching back to tomtom installation, fakecursor is gone !
--> I can't get th fakecursor OVER tomtom installation !
And there's absolutly NOTHING on my taskbar or my "upper" bar !
Have you any idea ?
Thank you again for this great upload,
Nicolas
ok if you go to settings and in settings go to home screen when it opens up you will need to change home screen layout to windows default and then that should do it hope this helps let me know how you get on any other help then please ask
(
Hey there - thanks for this marvellous set of instructions and goodies,
however, I appear to be doing something wrong, and would find any extra help rather helpful!
I've followed your instructions - but when I first run TomTom this is what happens :
Using FakeCursor I select English UK. I'm then prompted 'English UK - YES / NO' - to which I again use FakeCursor to choose YES. And then I see the following message :
Your device is incompatible with TomTom NAVIGATOR
(and all I can then choose then is 'Continue').
Anyone have any ideas? What daft thing am I doing wrong?
Thanks guys
hi ok you need to unlock you vox first with the sda app unlocker when you get the phone for some reason you can not use certian programs so using this program makes it so you can try this and then let me know how you get on ps dont forget you do need to reset your phone after it gets unlocked
Hi there - thanks for the prompt response!
I tried running the SDA app - but I think somthing could be going wrong at this point.
The programme is called 'SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe' and in the task bar it appears as 'SDA FULL Application Unlock' (is this the correct version?), anyway, after choosing to Unlock my phone, and accepting that this may be unsafe - I get the following message :
"Phone is not unlockable"
Its a standard Orange e650 (that is the right phone isn't it...?)
Sorry for being so dumb - I know its bound to be something I'm doing.
And thanks again for helping me out
s
Ok - I was fairly sure I was doing something wrong, and had misunderstood what was meant by 'reset' - so I have now definitely cold reset my device, and have lost all contacts etc - all a fresh start.
I was sure this was going to solve it, but when I then follow your instructions, I get the same message (you device is incompatible...)
Help?!
Thanks again
Where can i get maps and the cracks for them?Better, i have the maps, but i can´t activate then.

location of maps
thanks for the great instructions.
where do i have to put the maps in? and do i need this fake cursor everytime i use tomtom?
edit: i found out where to put the maps but now i have the next problem:
i can only choose com port 0, 1, 2 or 9. but my gps is on com 6 or 7 (no other available).
are there anybody having the same problem?

Moving TomTom to Raphael

Evening guys.
Ok, think I have sealed my own fate to some extent here, but hoping there might be a solution.
I had a Kaiser which I installed TomTom 7 on using the hack whereby you buy the maps for the GO 720 and trick the Home app into thinking that it is a 720 (before the diamond maps were available - what can I say, I'm impatient! ;-) )
Anyway, predictably, I've now got my TP and have installed the tomtom 7 cab onto the device. However, it tells me that activation failed. I would go to the ttcodes.com website, but for some reason I can't find the damned product code for the maps on my tt account page (it says "product code , " instead of a number??!).
All I want to do is "unactivate" the maps somehow and then do an OTA refresh with my new product/device code. Is this possible?
To be honest, I'm a bit fed up with TomTom these days. I've spent literally hundreds of pounds on them over the past few years and upgrading on PDA is always either incredibly difficult or lags behind the TomTom hardware. If I can't get this sorted, I might just cut my losses and give ALK a new customer...
Cheers guys
squiggs
what version of Tomtom did you install?? 7.450 or 7.451
To change is easy however you can only change your device once in 6 month period. in tt find your product code - press the satellitestrength button followed by pressing on version number. In this list you will find your product code. Goto tomtom web site, log into your account and goto change my device at the bottom of the screen you can type in your new device product code. once done, you then need to download your map to tom tom home as the activation code will be different within the file. Sync your tp and all should work.
let me know if map share and traffic work. I can not get these to work.
@ Xtreme - installed 7.451
@ Ardsar - THanks, but the problem is, I can't get that far. It asks me to choose a map, so I choose my UK & Ireland map and it throws up the activation error.
Thoughts?
cheers

copy the ttnavigator.BIF from the root of your memorycard to your pc and open it with Notepad.
now you can read your devicecode
have you contacted TomTom already with this problem?
also delete your map - it should then let you download a free city map if you havnt done so yet.
Aha!
I've deleted the map and downloaded the freebie. Will work on work on it from both angles.
Haven't contacted TomTom yet (was hoping to avoid the pain!) but will do if I can't get anywhere.
Will let you know how I get on.
Thanks

Arrgh! It now shows the map for download on TomTom home but says "This item does not work on your device. Therefore it cannot be installed".
It obviously realises that it's not a 720 but that's what the map's for.
Have you vchanged your code on tomtom website? The map on your pc is prob still for your old device. Goto my maps on tomtom web site and re download. (move your old map to an area outside of tomtom home just incase it goes wrong. usually found under my docs/tomtom/downloads (or similar)
Hi again guys,
Ok - checked the tomtom website and compared to the product code that's on my account website, but they are already the same? I can only assume that TomTom home synchronises the two?
TomTom home still says "This item does not work on your device. Therefore it cannot be installed".
Any thoughts? I'm thinking that even if I speak to TomTom, they'll just say I shouldn't have bought the 720 map for the Kaiser and just to buy new maps? Seems to be the way they normally work. :-(
EDIT: I should note that there is no trace of my UK map on the device. Just the fresh TT install and my free download map of my area that I got last night.

Just a thought - did you delete your maps from tomtom home and your pc? If not i suggest you try backing them up to CD or something, remove them and try again. I'm not sure at what point the activation code is generated - ie when you install or download. Failing this, i guess x20 maps are not compatible.
Unfortunately, if you contact tomtom, they will just tell you to go away as version 7 is not released and supported in the UK. Sorry mate, i dont know what else to suggest. I used 710 maps on my kaiser which worked fine, i guess the x20 version maps are just to different.
Delete mapname.meta.dct and reactivate or generate a new .meta.dct by using a tt8_keygen.

Guess you have a choice to either buy the correct maps or move to ALK. I have Navigator live 7 (touch diamond edition) and i was not that impressed by it. Scrolling around the map is very very slow compared to tomtom, and the traffic module is not user friendly at all and requires intervention whilst driving!. Also they use navteq for their mapping data however the latest map is about 9 - 12 months out of date, although some of the road changes that have happened in my area are more up to date. From what i understand, tomtom will be releasing version 7 at some time so you may want to hang it there. Somehow, traffic started working last night, so i am happy now!

Google Maps Tab

Anyone know of a way to get the Google Maps search tab back into TF3D (like the Manila2D tab from the Tilt)? Thanks
im wondering the same thing
i flashed romeos its not there either
MAPS TAB
I have been asking for a MAPS SEARCH TAB on Touchflow for weeks.
wouldn't be that hard to just jabe a tab and google maps to work... use a tab you don't like or don't use, change the two icons for it, in the manila for the tabs, change the link to externallink "googlemaps.lnk" and itll run google maps, but if you want it in tf3d... i can't help lol sorry

I was just reading the Wiki page. Under tips it shows a file to add tabs. Not sure if it can be done through the file but you may want to look there. I am looking to remove the AT&T tab...
Why not remap the PTT button...
I use the long press PTT button to get into Google Maps. There are links all over hte place on how to do it. Works great.

There never was a Google Maps tab in TF3D, so you can't "get it back" and currently nobody has created a workaround. So unless someone decides to take the task upon themselves to create a way to do it, then you're out of luck for now.
I seem to recall a Google Maps tab on one of early Manilla ROMS for the Kaiser. The tab had a input box to search for an address or business.
Why Not Use The Soft Key?
Since no one was able to fix you up as you wished, how about the option of allocating the right soft key in the home screen to Google Maps?
This can be done using DiamonTweak, section 14 of that useful app.
Good luck.
Thanks...I guess the answer is I can create a shortcut but I can't get the old Manila2D page unless someone writes it.
So, I can map it to PTT, long press of Phone or the home soft key but I'll probably either keep it on the programs tab or add it to the internet tab to launch gmaps (following these instructions: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=657).
My long and short press PTT's are already taken up, so it would be a huge help if someone could make this happen. I've seen others with custom tabs on the touch flo 3d, so I know its possible, I guess no one has got around to putting it together just yet.
From what I understand you'd have to cook it into the rom, I have no knowledge of this yet but give it some time.
Generalizing, I really thought it be sweet to add as many tabs to tf3d as you please, once my roommate returns from japan we may have to undertake this challenge.
if its possible...

use HTML to open an app?

HI Folks,
been looking into this for a bit with no joy, so thought it's worth asking if anyone knows if its possible to use a html browser to open an app directly, please read the below and you will see what i am after, basically the idea is to use jakesankey's overlay to navigate m.facebook, but also have the option to use the bottom bar to act as a shortcut to album

It will give you access right back to your chat window at any time. The goal is to get rid of the m.facebook integration and make make it so each window will remain in the same position as it was when you switched to 'chat' and then switched back.. Anyhow, I dont mean to ramble. This is what where I am thus far for anyone with an interest. (simply extract the compressed folder to your computer and open fbook.html to get the idea).. obviously this will not be used to upload photos.
ive been playing with this, it works well with the new omnia build of opera that allows scroll in pan
know this might sound daft, but is there any way to use a html doc to open the Album.exe ?
one of the guys posted the following in the diamond section that allows htc album to upload pics directly to facebook
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469106
don't know if this will work with qvga, but worth a try
i like the idea and have been playing around with it to make it more usable for me, then thought about trying to include a link to the album in the html page, ive included my edit to give you an idea of what im thinking but the code is beyond me
many thanks for any help or advice
Chris
anyone have any ideas?
So, if I understand you right, what you want to do is open an application on your phone (a .exe file) when clicking a link in a webpage?
Because that does work perfectly fine (at least on my htc wing with WinMo 6 and PIE). All you need to do is make the link point to the application:
Code:
A link
The above example will open the Images&Videos application when clicking the link for example. Hope that's what you were after.

Is there a reason why you give download links for the apps as opposed to going to the official download sites for the apps? Is there a difference?
Thanks for the instructions, I have installed this on my HD2 with the latest stock HTC ROM.
I have followed them to the letter, but I cannot get the final setup to work.
It prompts you to click the Vlingo button and say "Search cinema tickets"
I long press the send key but nothing happens . I have checked the processes that are running after I have pressed the button and I can see:
vlManager.exe
vlingoVoice.exe
Any ideas?
Thanks

I've just tried it and can't even the launch the program...don't think this works
DO NOT INSTALL THIS.
It doesn't work very well at all and its completely messed up all of my hardware buttons.
Do not bother giving it try. Just have to wait for Google to release their voice control solution on WinMo
really annoyed now - prob going to have to do a hard reset >:<
Finally installed and working (sort of) on the HD2
I followed the directions in the first post but could never get the long_press send key to function with the app. It just stopped functioning with voice command. The directions did allow me to assign the Button one which I created by the reg edit. This allowed me to at least get to the point where you push the long send and say "search concert tickets" but the listen notification bubble never appeared. I just clicked on OK to close.
I then made a quick link to Vlingo.lnk in /program files/vlingo. The first time I press the quick link I get the screen again asking me to say "search concert tickets" and I click ok. From that point on the quick link opens up the "Listening window" and the program functions normally. It is set to close with key or silence, so it will close after you speak if there is not a lot of back ground sound. Just get it to search for anything and then open menu/home at bottom for help, options etc. Do not set to close with key only as the key does not work.
Messy but it works. Here is a not very good icon if you need one.
UPDATE EDIT: Not working for SMS. It says it sends the text message and it shows in text program as sent, but they never arrive. It will do searchs. Don't waste your time!
Trying to get icon to upload as png but it is getting
changed to a jpg image by the uploader? Sorry!
i am looking for a software i can use on my hd2 that, as im driving, i can dictate some notes and print the text files out later to put in files.
maybe this is not the best?
i am also using voice command on the hd2 so i dont want that messed up.(unless there is a better option).
a couple things that i dont have tweaked (dont know how) is to have the voice command announce phone calls as " john smith from mobile" like it did on my old phone. (it just rings here). Also, would like appointments mentioned rather than just the tone as i used to get.
thanks in advance

I did all of this except I copied every value from the existing key called 40C6
into key 40C1 and modified the string to read "(Long hold Send key)" without quotation marks.
When I started Vlingo it skipped the button setting page and went directly to the voice test (search concert tickets) page.
It works but it will lock-up when I stop using it until I power down and back up.
You will have to forgive me if I type anything like a noob cause I am.
tried everything and am wondering if someone has a piece of advice

I followed the directions in the first post but could never get the long_press send key to function with the app. It just stopped functioning with voice command. The directions did allow me to assign the Button one which I created by the reg edit. This allowed me to at least get to the point where you push the long send and say "search concert tickets" but the listen notification bubble never appeared. I just clicked on OK to close.
I then made a quick link to Vlingo.lnk in /program files/vlingo. The first time I press the quick link I get the screen again asking me to say "search concert tickets" and I click ok. From that point on the quick link opens up the "Listening window" and the program functions normally. It is set to close with key or silence, so it will close after you speak if there is not a lot of back ground sound. Just get it to search for anything and then open menu/home at bottom for help, options etc. Do not set to close with key only as the key does not work.
Messy but it works. Here is a not very good icon if you need one.
UPDATE EDIT: Not working for SMS. It says it sends the text message and it shows in text program as sent, but they never arrive. It will do searchs. Don't waste your time!

does vlmanager.exe need to be running first ? I wonder if someone found a different version of a vlingo cab that works. I am on the elegancia rom and am curious if the people who have managed too get this to work could mention their rom versions. thanks to all.
There is a new WVGA version that came on the new Tilt 2 ROM in Rhodium section. I have been trying to make a cab, but am having issues getting it to connect to the server. If anyone can help me review and modify some of the libraries or dependancies, we can get a new working version made for WVGA devices.
Hey qpr1991, great info. What hd2 do you have - UK or T-mobile? What ROM do you use? Do you know the build-number of your windows 6.5? Do you know what radio you are using? What network are you on? I have to still use my old smartphone because I can't get vlingo to work on htc hd2 yet. I've followed your instructions many times and I am sure they work great, and I am willing to adapt my hd2's configuration to match yours enough to get vlingo working. If you are still around I'd love to hear from you. IF ANYONE GOT THIS TO WORK I'd like to ask you the same questions and maybe we can all cobble together a config that works. Thanks all.
How I finally got Vlingo working on HD2
Pick the Android build of your choice and install it on your HD2, Go to the market and download Vlingo. Works like a charm and you can play Angry Birds in the time you save trying to get it to work in WinMo.
I see Johntheboatcat has a T9193 hd2 - I wonder if qpr1991 also has the T9193? Maybe that's why you guys got it 'mostly working.' I'll look into this, and see why a rhodium and a T9193 would work but not the T8585. I'm still interested in seeing Vlingo work on the hd2. I would love to help with that rhodium cab - I don't know what I could do as far as getting it to connect to the server properly other than regedits or swapping files or .dll's with other cabs to see if that would work. I can also write mortscripts to stitch together partial functionality into something that works. Thanks again.

Hi Johntheboatcat: is that the WinMo Rom you were using when you had partial success with Vlingo? If not, do you know what it was? That's good advice about the Android version of Vlingo. Vlingo is one of the first apps I put on an android build - it is great.
I have the tilt2 with stock rom, vlingo works well, installed plus and still works great. I can say "text ??????" comes up fine, press and hold talk button again, speak my message still works great. but when I click on send nothing happens. I can press and hold talk and say "search for free to air" still works great. just won't send a text message.
