Hi All

I have performed the reg edit that enables the WM5 GPS App - I also know from threads that it is intended to allow multiple pocket pc applications to use the same GPS. Can someone explain how to use the various settings?

In particular, what is the effect of the different GPS settings on the tab labelled "programs" and that labelled "hardware"? And in what circumstances should one uncheck the "manage GPS automatically box" on the "access" tab?

Many thanks

Chris

WM5 GPS Application

Hi Chris!

I have an O2 XDA Mini S and i am missing the GPS Menue in WM5 and i think it would be helpfull in connecting with my GPS Bluetooth receiver.

It sounds that you know how it is activated so that i can try some changes. Would be nice to hear from you.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I tried your soluce but it doesn't work on my Qtek9100 (Orange SPV M3000). The registry key is changed as shown, but after a soft reset, the "redirect" key reappears and my modifcations are not applied.

Does anyone have an idea ? :roll:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] aliendad:
you must make sure that the changes are saved after the registry changes

otherwise as you say nothing happens
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Drifter:
Jean,

I had the same thing, couldn't get it to work.

But using PHM regedit and saving the changes it finally did work.

The DWORD “hide” wasn’t in my Qtek.

Is anybody able to help with my original question?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
lskb: I don't use GPS and don't have one, but I enabled the GPS settings page anyway.

It seems fairly descriptive to me, but I would guess, the Programs page basically deals with programs that have difficulty connecting to certain com ports (ie it's used for com port redirection).

So eg, if TomTom MUST be configured to a GPS receiver on COM2, set your settings in the Programs tab to COM2.

Hardware is the actual "physical" com port the gps receiver is linked to. Again, depends on your bluetooth setup/hardware pairing. But eg if your GPS receiver is connected to COM4, set this to COM4. Baud will typically be dictated by your software/hardware setup.

Access is for apps that don't like sharing the bluetooth/GPS receiver. Leave it as it is, ensure the first two tabs are correct, and if you're having troubles but you're certain they're Tab 1 and 2 are correct, or you know for a fact other people have found it helpful, untick the Access checkbox.

Vijay

Thanks for that, but I have a question. When you say hardware, you mean something phyiscally connected to the Wizard or by a bluetooth connection? If you mean the latter, then I am not sure that that is correct as the range of selectable baud rates looks wrong.

Thus, my bluetooth gps is installed on an outgoing com port 6 in the bluetooth settings area. The baud rate specified for my gps is 38400. Am I supposed to set the hardware com port to 6 (despite the fact that it is already set in the bluetooth area)? And if yes, how do I set the baud rate, as 38400 is not capable of selection....

Chris
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] osvold:
well, i have exactly sam eproblems like Iskb. I set the hardware port to com 6. (Vario and Navilock BT unit). Then, when i am trying to connect to my BT module, there is no chance to establish the connection at this given port. I am forced to choose another one (ie COM7). I thought that the GPS manager would work in some way like GPSgate do, but it seems not to be true :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] aliendad:
make sure in the original com port area the bt modem is not listed on any port,

after you have enabled the com port in the new gps icon and then selected it in the navigator software, change the new gps icon port back to none, and then you can create a "New Outgoing Port" using the original com ports link.

hope this makes sense to somebody :?:

Hello,

i have two newly purchased KFHD7.

Both resist to any tool or described method for rooting.

So i took one and tried to write via fastboot (i have a working cabel) an older version with bootloader and recovery.

This only leads to the situation of a short kinlde logo -> red scren and fastboot.

So i tried first aid for complete rstore but nothing changed.

As a last resort it tried to install the second bootloader but this maked it even more worse, the kindle is now bricked totally.

Now i ihave my second kindle and no clue what i can do.

Are there some changes with the newest kfhd7 ? Because it seems that there are more than me with the unrootable problem.

tried on my second KFHD7 to Downgrade to 7.2.3 with the FirstAid tool, and what should i say....

Not really because a red screen is considered a hard brick. Only on rare occasions does a red screen (on a Kindle Fire HD) get turned around.

You need learn your colors first so you can get the color of the screen right first. Then tell us what model/firmware you have. Each mod is specific to the model Kindle you have. If you used the system restore tool on the new Kindle Fire HD (2013) you bricked the shet out of your Kindle. The image and boot are completely different.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potc01:
OK,

but what do you mean with colors ? I don’t think that i read somewhere to check colors first before you try to install one of the mods.

Even there is nowhere any warning to check something or that these mods are only available for models before Oct.2013

This is an information which is a sticky topic worth

But anyway, i started rma and will monitor the forum for any news on this topic

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] colorchange:
I have an ATT i337 S4 (mdl baseband) running on T-mobile. Current setup was wicked 7.0 ROM with ATT kernel.

I was trying to change to cyanogenmod ROM and tried using my TWRP 2.5.0.2 to load the rom but it would flash it and gave me an md5 error. Supposedly this is a known issue with TWRP so most people recommend using clockworkmod recovery and I tried to load that using recovery tools. Recovery tools couldn't find the CWM image file but did find the 2.6.3.0 updated TWRP image file so I tried to update TWRP and when I did, I can't boot to recovery anymore and instead get the yellow triangle saying unauthorized software.

At the same time (ugh) I flashed wicked 8 ROM update and think I loki'd it (I am running wicked 8.0 now) but I forgot to run the att kernel afterward. The current kernel is 3.4.5 ... dirty ptmr3 ... N5110 #1. I think this is the standard t-mobile kernel which will obviously not work on my ATT phone.

The problem is, now I can't reboot into recovery mode. When I try, I get the yellow triangle "system software not authorized by ATT...". I don't know if the problem is with the bad kernel or with the updated 2.6.3 TWRP. The only way I can get around the bootloader problem is the hold down the down vol and home button, then the power button and that gets me into a "Warning a custom OS can cause critical problems ..." page. From there if I continue, I get the yellow triangle. If I hit the volume down button to cancel, it boots normally but not into the bootloader and I have partial functionality of my phone.

Where do I go from here? Odin to stock? Replace the bootloader somehow? Anything else?

I did do a nandroid of my system before all of this but for some reason I can't access my SD card. I can hit mount but nothing shows up on file manager. Will that backup replace the bootloader with the known good one? I could copy the backup to the phone memory and do it from there using titanium backup I think.

Thanks,

[General Questions and Answers] FCORivers:
I bought a generic Chinese tablet (ematic egp 007 pro series) for my daughter and as I've done before, I thought that I could get play/market installed.

Was I wrong? At first I looked around a lot and read the part until at last I found a really, really easy way to do that.

Then for the custom recovery was about the same story. Always going thru tenths of web pages to end up here at xda. No wonder.

I ended up realizing that its easier looking for things compatible with generic tablets by looking for board mgf or name, in my case rk29xx board.

So here comes my query:

Why don't create a Generic Tablet Forum?

Could be organized by board mgf, then by code/name and variants, and so forth.

This is a suggestion only.

As I wrote above, Google sent me to xda at the end, but not without reading a lot, which is not a bad thing. Xda search wouldn't really take me in the right direction. And all posts I read were under general.

I do have one question.

Will it preserve all other partitions intact and does the required changes to internal and SD storage? I mean like, EFS partition must be preserved.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] ktp1976:
Dang. You were first :D

I suspect that repartition affects the ratio between /data and /sdcard partitions. If efs is affected its very risky. I would like to know that too. Even though I would not do that to my device just right now. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
Removed as data no longer valid
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] ktp1976:
How bad can it get? Now lets say I theoretically messed up all the partitions including efs completely. Could it get so bad that I could hardbrick the device (not even possible to get it working through odin) or could I just flash a stock ROM and after that try to get CWM on it and restore an old backup including my efs partition?

You should provide more Infos on how to recover in the worst case... ;) And btw. thanks a lot for your efforts!
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
Nope, as the OP says, I am testing here and that's why I am offering disclaimers, realistically, I am looking for a developer to look at it, as they will understand more about getting themselves out of trouble. Absolutely no offence intended of course!

However, recovering from an issue, which there shouldn't be any, is to follow the flashing procedure I have detailed above using the stock pit file I have attached to my beta test post. :)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] ktp1976:
Don't be offended :cool:
