[Q] Hauligian Head Unit - General Questions and Answers

I currently have a Hauligian (or Hauligan) headunit in my car running Windows CE6. There are a few discrepancies for example the days are spelt wrong and have capitals in the wrong place.
I've seen a few threads regarding downloading Total commander and running it through the GPS micro SD slot and pointing the path to run it. Thats fine (I haven't done this but understand it).
I was thinking of taking the files off the Headunit, finding the files and changing the days to the correct spelling (is this possible?)
That is my main issue. Side issues if plausible:
Update the software
Update the sygic maps.
I would be grateful for any help, ive been looking and searching for a while.
Many Thanks Andy

02 XDA IQ - TomTom 5.2 issue

I have an issue with my new XDA IQ smartphone and TomTom 5.2
I've moved from an XDA SP - basically put the tomtom memory card (with 5.2 working fine on the SP) into the XDA IQ.
It all installed fine and I have the application short cuts.
I've got the new IQ to recognise Tomtom GPS receiver.
When I start the application the disclaimer screen appears with the option "I agree".
Once selected Tomtom bombs out back to the "desktop" - the blue tooth that tomtom triggered is still enabled but then when I try and do anything with the phone, its really sluggish and unresponsive. A soft reset sorts this out.
I've tried tomtom support, but I guess that always asking too much
I've used the application unlock as described on this forum to allow any app to be installed, but again this has made no difference.
I guess thats it! - i'll be trying out other methods tonight so if i find a solution I will update the thread for others with similar problems.
Many Thanks!
Ive managed to fix the issue with this.
Created a new notepad text document - entered the path of the map file into the text document
\Storage Card\Great-Britain-Map\
*note - you may need to amend the above location to reflect your installation.
Saved the text document and renamed it
CurrentMap.dat
then use activesync explorer to move it to
\My Documents\TomTom
create the TomTom directory if it does not exsist.
Then it works!
IT WORKS!!!
I was having exatly the same problems with my tomtom.
I had recently updatet my Qtek 8310 with new rom, but nothing worked.
Then i tried, solomons trick, ( a couple of times) and it worked , only issue was there was no shortscuts, but that i created.
Mr Solomon, you're great!!!

Kaiser and WM5torage

Hey guys,
This seems to come up a lot in just about every new ROM thread at one point or another so I just thought I'd throw it out there how I have got wm5torage to work on EVERY ROM I have tried (and I've tried just about all of them discounting the most recent ones as I haven't flashed in a while).
Basically all I have had to do to get it working is install Card Export II. You don't have to ever open it but I believe it comes with a driver update or something (don't ask me, maybe one of the cooks knows for sure) that makes the mass storage mode work on the Kaiser. Then just leave Card Export II on the device and use WM5torage as if Card Export wasn't there. Works like a charm every time, at least in my experience.
Hopefully I'm not double posting this and can help a few people out with this.
now this is good news now I will expiriment with this
my guess is that I only have to add ce2.dll and ce2ui.dll to windows folder and wm5torage should work I'll test it right away
I gave this a try. I copied ce2.dll and ce2ui.dll to \windows and then installed WM5Storage. After a soft-reset, I activated the link and connected my Tilt. My PC detected it as a USB mass storage and went through the installation process, but, then, after that my PC was unbearably slow until I deactivated the link. Same thing happened on my second try.
I made a cab form wm5torage with the dll's from Card Export I havn't tried the cab but it's working when I cooked it into my rom as a oem pack
try it an let me know if it works
Code:
[ATTACH]59865._xfImport[/ATTACH]
isn't working working for me... Installed - tried to start it - locked up my phone - soft reset - said it was going to install card export - 'failed to install' then 'sucessfully installed' - still no wm5 storage, it just locks up my phone - gullum rom
I just tried the cab and report the same stuff. It froze when activating wm5torage.
ok then it must be coocked into the rom

I do the samething...but has anyone tried to see if it still works after the trial period expires...the reason why I haven't tried that is because i'm always reflashing my device almost every other week and never had the trial version expire since I always re-install from scratch...
c'mon guys, why are you opening the same issue? why don't you better search!? it has been already solved, we know, that WM5torage is working when CE2 is installed.. also know, that MW5torage will work, when CE2 trial is expired. as far, as i tested - CE2 NEEDS to be installed to have WM5 working - you can not just copy files into windows. it will not work (at least on kaiser)!
Hey, I apologized in the first post in the event that I was double posting a solution. I did do a search before posting it but posted for two reasons:
1. When I did search I did not find this particular solution (upon a second search I did find it but I had to read through a thread a bit before I got to it).
2. As mentioned in my first paragraph, this issue is CONSTANTLY coming back up, be it in the form of a new thread or in the form of 40+ people spamming up a perfectly good release thread with "WM5torage doesn't work, has anyone else got it to work!!!!!" making it harder to find legitimate information about a new ROM release.
I understand that the forums are getting increasingly cluttered with unnecessary threads/posts, but please refrain from "Use the search tool!" posts and thereby adding to the clutter. Yes, we all know by now that the search tool is available. No, we don't always find what we're looking for when we use it, especially when our answers are on page 43 of the thread (no, mine wasn't in this case but we've all been in that situation). If you really want to help with this issue, submit a link to the post that has the solution. If you don't have time to do that, great, send a PM to the person who opened the thread and let them know that the issue has been solved previously and they can direct people to the right thread. Otherwise, just let the thread die as it will inevitably do if it is not necessary.
Sorry again for adding to the mess.
Sorry, but I just tried that (Official HTC rom, installed WM5torage, soft-reset, installed cardexport II, soft reset), but still not working
It is working with cardExport II, so I would guess that WM5torage is not using the right dlls
Somebody mentionned that already and was telling that it must be on a cooked rom ?? Which rom would allow that ?
don't know how to get it working. I spent a while trying to get it to work, and then I just gave up. I could never get it to work at all. I have CardExport working in trial mode, but I didn't want to pay for it. Its best just to move on from this unless you find a rom with it built in already...which I never have found. ROMeOS was going to try to do it once, but that project has been discontinued.

I don't understand why you should delete it. Better get it working. I´m running Garmin both land and sea navigation on my Touch. Much better than TomTom. There are certain steps which needs to be taken in order for the Touch to identify your SDcard. If you have a bought version it shouldn´t be a problem to ask the Garmin people for help. It works perfectly with the internal GPS.
Good luck!
@andbertina: hehe actually i thought that 2, but when i called them (garmin reps) some time ago,.. first they accussed me of having a pirate version,.. so went home for the box and when i told the guy the number he said yes this was bought with a bluetooth gps and won't work with an internal,.. the new release works though but i should buy a new one as well (although mine has aroung half a year).. and that was about it,.. i'm using tomtom now, and will never buy garmin again..this one that i have was a present..
so when i wanted to delete the file (since it keeps asking if i want to install garmin at startup and even sometimes just like that in the middle of sth) it wouldn't as described in previous post
thnx for the reply

It´s fine that you are happy with your TT but the HTC version has some bugs in voice program that I didn´t like.
I don´t think the Garmin rep. knew what he was talking about. Check GPS-passion forum below and the links for ideas. You are not alone in world with Garmin problem to be solved.
http://www.gpspassion.com/FORUMSEN/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=57782
Good luck.
I can imagine a Garmin representative like that can spoil the fun, but I can tell you imho Garmin Mobile XT is far superior over TomTom. The maps are better and prettier, the voices are better, the indications are better.
hi thanx fir the reply, .. i know how garmin is i had it on may nokia till now, but was not able to upload the maps (again original) and the software was not able to find gps uni since it kept scanning the bluetooth,.. so i decided to go with tomtom,.. if garmin would work than i would probably stick with it,.. unfortunately it was to big of a piece for me to swallow if i put it like this :d ... and for the final act i can not delete the install file as well so it keeps bugging me wanting to instal.. doooh
anyone else ,... pls
Have you checked if the SD card is locked ?
did ,.. wasn't..
anyways, my friend succeded,.. but to tell you the truth, since we were doing on other issues didn't remembered to ask him,.. yet

cab luvin' dvd player

sooo, because i'm a cheap basta*d i'm going to buy a dvd player with gps for my car on ebay and i've noticed a lot of them, or even all of them?, run on windows ce. So here's my question, will any cab run on windows ce? i mean, winmo 5, 6, 6.1 and everything before that ran on windows ce right? so how easy would it be?
Picture this, a 8-16gb sd card, jam it into the card reader and start up S2P (slide to play) for one bad ass cover flowin' music center! obviously other thing would be useful to, and since these bad boys are only like $300 buckaroos it isn't a bad idea, especially for us gadget pr0n guys right?
what about flashing a rom from a SD card (only heard rumors/speculation about that, probably not possible)? or just loading up manila 2d/3d via throttle launcher and getting the think looking pimp? no phone antenna, no problem, just sync it through the bluetooth and make calls (new app required i'm guessing, or at least adapt/beautify some existing cab/exe). get internet sharing to work on it somehow and you're seriously looking at a pretty cool carputer. well, with all i'd want to use one for anyways. Who wants to do more than what a good rom on one of our phones can do while in a car anyways?
I'm not sure if it will run out of the box like that, with nothing more than some cabs on and sd card, or if you have to do something else (file explorer and whatnot), but i figured xda would be the best place to start for the right answers. I've never gone wrong before with you guys, so speak up! let's see what we come up with!
or at least give me a link to a better place if you know of one and i'll get off my soapbox...
anyways, i've got access to a few vogues, a wing/herald, and a touch pro to do testing with, along with the dvd player/win CE unit--in about a week or two that is--so i'm more than happy to put it on the table.
Man i hope you guys are reading this and as pumped as i am.
anyways, pm me with anything, or i'll just keep looking to see if anyone else posts here
amruthwo
bump
does anyone know if this would even work?
This could work.
First of all, you need to look up how to disable OEM's shell (factory "software" of the player) and enable Windows CE interface.
Next you either install Handheld PC apps, or install libraries which allow you to run applications from PocketPC.
Myself I tried it with a cheap GPS. Yeah, WinCE + apps are a major step up from maps only, but it is not anywhere close to even a non-phone PPC. Because of, for example, lack of WiFi. The big advantage is, that I can install any WinCE compatible map instead of outdated OEM maps.
Hope I am right, and this helps
Where did you find information about your GPS? I just got one, model# TID-7626GPS that I'm going to try to mod, but i can't find information about how to get the WinCE.
if you could pass on any links to places i could look it would help a ton. For how do disable the factory OEM and those libraries?
First you need to find out real manufacturer of your device. I googled model name you said but there's nothing
Or, connect that device via ActiveSync (yes, the same) and see if there's a file \Windows\autorun.inf
If it exists, backup it. Then change it so it will load \Windows\explorer.exe
That should unlock WinCE UI.
However, the file may not exist. In this case you have to look for instructions over the web.

[Q] wince/android headunit hack

Hi guys.
been reading alot about hacking the wince part of these units. When the gps is on the wince too. By exploiting a autorun file on the sd card. But my unit has gps on an adroid partition. So if I remove the sd car android still boots. Is it possible to hack these?
my unit is an allwinner a10 device. What I would like to do is get to the bluetooth software and see if I can fix an issue with the phonebook.
it doesn't put my contacts in alphabetical order. Also I seen some nice shells out there so maybe a change of shell.
I have only one real issue with the android side of the unit and that is lack of bluetooth support. I would like to correct this too. As far as I can see the android side is rooted. I ran software that says it is anyway.
First post so applogise if it falls short of requirements let me know I will update it if need be.
Thanks in advance
Bump.
Yeah mate, I have the exact same issue.
Phonebook is pretty terrible, only real thing that the unit lets me down on
