Hmm I dont know how thick they are. Stock you only have 5mm to work with, so without covers might work better. Anyway you do it it may take some modding.

You might have to stuff a computer in a 11"x7"x9" box meant to hold an old voltmeter.

Or maybe you cant even find the case, but you got plywood! [This on is my proxy server]

Maybe you have an overheating issue? Drill some huge holes in your Lian Li case and apply water!

Just stay out of the way in the garage...

Maybe you need GPS in your Toughbook?

Or drill holes in your new Acer Netbook because the reception is bad on wifi...

Add a bigger antenna!

Anyways, dig in, take pictures, enjoy it! I love promoting modding!

Intense.

---------- Post added at 03:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 AM ----------

Oh, by the way. I heard that you can get HSDPA On the Shift. Also, with Windows 7, would the HSDPA Still work? Or would you have to stay on Vista?

HSDPA. Not HSDPA+ =D

Also, would it be possible to get android on the windows mobile side? Would everything work too? Or not really.
[Shift Development] morganlowe:
It works in windows 7 once you get the drivers... I was thinking about getting some prepaid web for mine since I have Verizon.
[Shift Development] Spazer77710:
Thanks again! I appreciate you dealing with all of my questions.

=O! I found this adapter. Does this look like a good deal? And most of all, will it work? - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Compact-Fla...235?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aa8aada73
[Shift Development] morganlowe:
Hmm, I got that added to my watch list. Nice find!
[Shift Development] Spazer77710:
I just ordered 2 of those adapters. Also, I was wondering if there was a way to get anything else besides windows mobile on the windows mobile part of the HTC Shift.

How about Touch Flo 3D? Is that possible?

Well, anything else besides windows mobile that works? (HSDPA, Wifi, Calls, MMS, etc)
[Shift Development] Spazer77710:
Also, do you think its possible to get wifi working on ubuntu?
[Shift Development] morganlowe:
haha Well, Wifi should work fine in ubuntu once I sort it all out. Thats going to be a long tutorial. As far as all the extra winmo stuff, I dont think so, not enough space for it. Only have 128mb to work with and 64mb of ram.
[Shift Development] Spazer77710:
WOW! You can make it work?! =OOOO That would be completely awesome! (Would HSDPA Work aswell)? When you make your guide, will it also be a tutorial on how to install Ubuntu? It would be the greatest ever.
[Shift Development] morganlowe:
Looking around I bet Ubuntu will work out of the box...

64gb SDXC card, one of those ebay adapters and CF card thing. I wonder if it would be bootable...

Edit: I just ordered the adapter, CF thing and This. Now I can see if it boots or not.
[Shift Development] Spazer77710:
Wow, that's a good deal!!! Keep us posted on how everything goes!

Also, I ordered 2 new HTC Shifts and I should get them within the next 3 days. I found the 60 GB Toshiba HDD from before. I might also have a 32GB SSD that will work with the OQO Model 02 which is the same as the HTC Shift, right?

I hope it still works. I don't need much room. I just want Windows 7 or Ubuntu with a working GPS/Phone/MMS! That would be the greatest! I was also wondering, is the keyboard backlit?
[Shift Development] Spazer77710:
I was wondering... Do you have the liberate files? I have been looking and I can't find them. =O
[Shift Development] Spazer77710:
I hope that these are the correct files. - http://www.pocketpc.ch/attachments/h...kliberatefiles

(add .zip at the very end of the link).

*Right click the link, copy it. Then paste it in your browser and add .zip*

(I hope these are the correct 2 files). =D
[Shift Development] morganlowe:
OK, So I got my shift done last night. 2gb RAM, Windows 7 ultimate, ditched the Italian WinMo side and installed LightROM with GPS working on both sides.

Lets start with liberation:

1) no data, I have Verizon and had no sim around either. I used instructions posted here and the 4g sim from my Rezound to trick it into connecting. I learned more Italian than I have ever before too.

One difference I did was I put a folder in Settings and included the Liberation file and shortcut. Since I had no data it was easier to load it into windows this way. Took about 20 minutes to get it liberated and the ROM installed.

Liberation and HardSPL files here.

Now that thats done... Some bonus files I found.

LightROM - lightweight ROM since WinMo is pretty much useless on here anyways. Good for GPS. First link for the light one.

BIOS Update

Modified Windows 7 Drivers - I was too lazy to renumber them but still go in order even if they start at 3.

Aero Resolution Changer - Found somewhere, this one works.

I take no credit for what is posted here. These all came from this or other places on the web. This is just what I used to get my Shift rolling on Win7.

Using Object Dock and Avast! Anti-virus with a HOSTS Script for security. CCleaner helps keep junk off the hard drive from web browsing and so on. And of course a dark theme.

One more - Cleanup Batch Files.

Enjoy!
[Shift Development] Spazer77710:
=OO!!!!!!! Thank you so much for this post. When I receive the HTC Shift, I will try and install Windows 7 Ultimate and intall the drivers. I will also try out that ROM. Should I try the e00 ROM or the Light ROM? Which is faster?

Thanks again!

(Also) When you installed 2GB of RAM, did you notice a HUGE difference in usability?
[Shift Development] morganlowe:
Go Light. I am having some GPS issues, but not too worried, I have a bluetooth GPS receiver. And yes, the RAM made a fair difference. Ubuntu tonight
[Shift Development] Spazer77710:
Alright. Light it is! Looks like I'll get the Shifts within the next 15 hours. Let us know how Ubuntu goes!
[Shift Development] Spazer77710:
Okay, I just received the HTC Shifts and I'm having a problem in the Windows Mobile side. I have no clue how to change the language to English. do you know how? =O
[Shift Development] morganlowe:
haha easiest way to do it is to flash a new rom. There is no way to change it otherwise.
[Shift Development] Spazer77710:
I can't connect to the internet. (AT&T) It shows 3G but a notification keeps flashing on and off like, connnection GPRS and after about 5 it just quits out.

I'd really like to get the Shift Liberated. But, I have no clue how to get the files into the windows mobile side. It just won't work. I can't connect to the internet through my SIM so I can't email myself. Do you have any idea what to do?
[Shift Development] Spazer77710:
Is there a way to flash a ROM without Liberating? I have no idea how to do either of these... I've been looking around and watching videos, I can't make anything of mine. How can I liberate the Shift if I can't make the SIM card work?
[Shift Development] dony71:
I just got my shift yesterday

I can liberate without connection

However you need SIM card

Also you will have better success if you can install WMDC in windows first

You also need to enable HSPDA connection in Snapvue
[Shift Development] elrooster:
Go to settings\connections\Manage existing connections\

If you have My ISP GPRS choose edit, otherwise make a new connection with any name.

Enter a name for the connection: (Anyname or My ISP GPRS)

Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS 3G)

Access point name: wap.cingular

user name: (leave it blank)

Password: (leave it blank)

Domain: (leave it blank)

Then click Advanced

Check Use server-assigned IP address

Use specific IP address (leave it blank)

Use slip (leave it blank)

Use software compression (leave it blank)

Check Use IP header compresion

Click OK and finish
[Shift Development] Spazer77710:
THE INTERNET IS WORKING NOOOW. =OOO I WILL LIBERATE THE SHIFT NOW. Thanks for your help!

(I hope I can manage to liberate it in Italian. Haha).
[Shift Development] Spazer77710:
I have liberated the Shift! I have 1 problem now. I can't connect USB Tool to Vista.

I have windows mobile manager insalled and I go to the Snapvue and click USB Tool and click connect to Vista. Nothing happens. The arrows don't move on the top right or anything. Nothing happens.

If you have any idea on how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated!!

(I restored the HTC Shift hitting F3 multiple times when booting up). (FN+3)

Language is Italian and I'm switching it. If you don't see the language you want, you may have to download a language display package. http://www.froggie.sk/lp32sp1.html

I'm downloading it right now and I'll let you know how it goes. However, I wasn't able to get the SIM working with Vista earlier but now it's working after I restored the Shift.

I'll keep you guys posted. I hope that this will fix the USB Tool issue.
[Shift Development] dony71:
I have this problem too and but I manage to do hardspl and

I upgrade WM light rom.

After that I can see in WM, there is "USB to PC" icon under Settings > Connections. Problem solved after I uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality" under "USB to PC"
[Shift Development] Spazer77710:
How did you flash the ROM? I did a hardspl and everything was erased. Is this normal? I am re-liberating the HTC Shift. How do I flash the ROM though? the light one that is. (I have it downloaded). Do I transfer the custom ruu to the snapvue side? Or do I run it in Vista?
[Shift Development] Spazer77710:
I was able to get the Light ROM installed. I had to put the file on the desktop and run it as Admin.

Also, I was wondering. Is there a ROM with a full functioning Phone with mic and volume? I can't get mic and volume to run on the Light ROM.

Please let me know if there are any ROMs that have a full functioning phone.

Thanks!

New Shift from 1saleaday

I just received my HTC Shift from 1saleaday. It has an Italian Rom on the WM side and I do not have a working sim card, since I switched from ATT to Sprint a few years ago for my cell service. I have read a lot of the threads and cannot find a way to Liberate the WM side without the working sim card. Are there any solutions for people in my situation?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=377441

I've just got the same thing...just cant figure out how to use the usbtool. It never seems to connect for me. I want to put an english rom on this. Also, the version of windows vista they put on there is crap. I restored the italian vista by booting with Alt-F3 and got everything working (did an english upgrade to windows 7) after this.
[Shift Development] crazyjim_68:
Finally upgraded this yesterday to english rom

Had to use an unactivated sim card to do this.

1. Install Windows Mobile Device Center for vista

2. Follow first 2 steps at to gain access to windows mobile.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=377441

3. This part is the trickiest as it seems I needed to use an unactivated sim for this or else vista will keep trying to use the internet connection and disables the activesync connection

1. Turn off wifi

2. Turn on cellular

3. On phone side, start internet connection sharing (under programs)

4. In ICS, connect then disconnect (if it doesn't automatically disconnect)

5. Check vista side, should start activesync at this point. It seems to only

stay connected with an unactivated sim for me.

4. Hard SPL. Basically copy the enablerapi.cab onto the windows side, install it, then run the ShiftHardSPL on vista. Follow this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=406606

5. Download ROMs and run the executable included in the rom. I used the I00

rom, but it doesn't allow you to load many things after this, so i might look

for something else. Nice to have english on this.

Has anyone tried to pop the keys off the keyboard and rearrange them to an English format? I am a little nervous as sometimes these keyboards are so delicate.

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

Oh, and I restored the original Italian Vista with the Alt-F3 during boot and ran vistalizator to install English. It seems more responsive than with the English version they shipped and I think it uses less space for whatever reason (not 100% sure about this though)
[Shift Development] crazyjim_68:
Figured out how to use the usb tool

To use sub tool: Click usb out first then usb in to switch to activesync mode. I loaded up the thaihugo light rom. Much better in my opinion. No crap on it, even removed the autoprovisioning and snapview screen to make room for more of your own programs. These roms are 3 years old, there are much newer programs out there now.

i'm using light.rom but gps + phone is not working

i read in hugo thai thread, it mentioned need special radio rom for this

there is link on the thread but link no longer working

anybody can find and share radio rom which has gps + phone working?
[Shift Development] axelTP2:
Hi dony71,

I still have the Thaihugo ROM files with phone WM6.0 1.30+radio 1.27+ sound rec+phone , but I cannot attach them here, they are way too large. The radio.rar has 7MB and the romv2.rar has 35MB.

I have also found stored in my PC the ROM files of "Thaihugo's shift age of reason and age of beauty", which are about of the same 40MB size.

Which version and how do you want me to send them to you?
[Shift Development] crazyjim_68:
Ok, got this pretty much working now like I want. Phone and GPS both work for me on the light rom (google thaihugo age of reason). They also worked on the i00 rom, but I got rid of that. I used it with google maps with no issues and I can make phone calls without a headset (using built in speaker and mic only which sucks). I tried everything to get this to work including physically modifying the headset (an old one I didn't use). If anyone has any ideas on this, let me know.

I don't think an unactivated sim was ever needed, but it worked. You can use either, one that is old and deactivated or one that hasn't been activated yet. The reason it was working is it would not allow an internet connection as it cannot connect on the windows mobile side to any networks and would not disable the connection on the windows side.

Anyway, the reason windows keeps reconnecting is that it is trying to establish an internet connection. There are 2 types of connections on this. The default connection when you turn on the cellular is to connect windows to the internet. This will use your settings on the windows mobile side under network connections (settings -> connections -> connections -> select networks). For example, Media net for att. If this is set to nothing, such as My Work Network, it will not keep trying to reconnect on the windows side. This starts an ethernet connection with subnet on windows with something like 192.x.x.x.

The other connection is accessed through the usb tool when you selecting incoming connection. This will also start if you connect internet sharing and try to connect. I used usbtool only now. This will start an activesync connection and is on the 169.x.x.x subnet if you have Enable advance network functionality on the windows mobile side.

The keys on the keyboard are mixed up now. Anyone tried to pop them off and rearrange them? I don't want to be the guinea pig.

How to fix the broken links

Hello,

You can fix the broken links on the HTC website. The links point to:

member.america.htc.com/download/Driver/HTC%20Shift

Change the member.america.htc.com to dl4.htc.com leave the file name and the "/download/Driver/HTC Shift" the same.

I'd post an example, but since I'm new I can't include links:

I emailed HTC this information, but who knows if they will ever make the change.

I'm using light rom, but gps not working

Maybe I don't know how to make it working

I notice there is HTC GPS tool utility and need to set comport and baud rate

but I never get any satellite

Can you tell me how or hint me to any link what to do?
[Shift Development] axelTP2:
Hi Dony 71,

Before I go for that, did you first try contacting Thaihugo and ask him directly? It would not be fair joggling with his files, wouldn't it? When I was in need I contacted him and he offered me great assistance. Come back to me only if he's not responding. I understand that you are in need and I want to help you, but please talk to the master first.....
[Shift Development] crazyjim_68:
For the GPS, start the HTC GPS Tool, then click Open. This starts the gps. The default is Comm 4, 57600 baud. You can then go into menu, satellite view and you will see green when it locks the satellites. This can take a while unless you have a good view of the sky. Once it locks, its not so picky.

I only used this in Google Maps. Go to Menu, settings, gps settings. Change to manual, comm 4, 57600 baud.

Also, I see other people in the thread loading the 1.3 radio. I didn't have to do that with any ROM. They just worked. I checked my radio version and its 1.27.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
I've been meaning to search out whether or not I could use mine and have just been too lazy and busy (contradictory I know lol).

According to flub though, looks like we can't actually use them. I wonder, couldn't we just compile some linux drivers into our kernel similar to how they got external WiFi adapters to work in the dev sub-forum? Suppose I'll have to really start digging, I certainly am not about to buy another external DVD drive just to use it with Android.

I remember seeing some real cool external BD readers/writers that also featured some kind of wireless features and stuff, I would think from Samsung. Haven't seen anything on it anymore though, and I can't for the life of me find the original articles I had read.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] babymatteo:
I'm assuming that once plugged in, it will see it as an external drive. To play the .iso dvd files you can use MXPlayer.

Although this dvd player is cool, i would love to see a Bluray version.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bsweetness:
Yep. That's what I'll be waiting for.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flub:

I guess blue ray I can understand don't want to rip all those to an external or whatever. But for the most part DVD is dead, why is this such great news. I can store 100's of DVD's on one External HDD. I also wonder if part of why certain drives won't work is power related. The TFP doesn't have much to give to the USB maybe drives with external power will fair better (and drivers of course).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
>Although this dvd player is cool, i would love to see a Bluray version.

When I first saw the announcement, I had to check the date to make sure it's not a goof-up. I mean, a portable DVD writer in 2012?!

There won't be a BD version. That would take much more power, and this particular model is designed to be powered from a single USB port. Most tablets would be lucky to have one powered USB, let alone two.

I don't see much practical use for it, since optical writers have been marginalized by USB flash storage years ago. They're slower, more bulky, and chews through your battery like nobody's business. I suppose if you like to carry about your DVD/BD disc collection with you, it'd be good for that, but then you would just need a reader.

Heh, I can imagine somebody trying to rip a DVD with this. Yes, a true test for Tegra 3 processing power and of Prime's I/O prowess! :) Please take a picture.
