For Opera Mobile you simply need a DLL file and add an extra line into opera.ini/opera1.ini!

I've attached the DLL for you! Just remove the ".zip" after downloading the file for proper usage! ;)

Copy the DLL file to \Windows\Opera9\plugins (if the folder doesn't exsist, create it) and add this into your opera.ini/opera1.ini in the "User Prefs" section:

NS Plugin Path=\Windows\Opera9\plugins\NPFL3ppc.dll

You mean we have to first install Flash Lite 3.1 and then go through this procedure? Or we do it directly, without installing Flash Lite at all?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] zimmicz:
Can anyone with Opera Mobile and flash installed visit www.letour.fr and tell me whether it works for him/her? My Opera always crashes.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] prdic:
I've installed flash player and flash lite and opera didn't crash on that site, however I can't see flash videos, yellow area is there only.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] jcan:
I tried all the solutions suggested in this forum, but no luck with my Flash in Opera... Too bad... :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] animelover:
FlashLite 3.1 must be installed, I think! In most of my ROMs is Adobe Flash in the SYS part so I think yes, it must be installed! :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] jcan:
I tried it with Opera installled... No luck!

may be a dumb question.

Is blackstone has a GPS (not AGPS) ?

ie. without a sim phone card , it can still receive GPS signal for mapking ?
[Touch HD General] Kringkrong:
It's a real GPS, works great with, for example TomTom. :)
[Touch HD General] tweaker:
yes gps works without a sim card. agps is also available through registry settings but requires a Data connection.
[Touch HD General] Rudegar:
lots of people seem to think that aGPS is a cheap substitute for normal gps

but thats not the case aGPS is normal gps plus the ability to get locations

from cellphone towers if one can't get a clear gps signal like if one enters

a long tunnel

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Phone
[Touch HD General] zenkinz:
aGPS is often mistaken as location-based service (LBS) or server-based GPS. mainly because the first generation of "Quick GPS" is also known as AGPS, which essentially is to download the satellite orbit path in advance instead of get it directly from the satellites at the point the receiver is trying to get a fix. The download process (receiving it from satellite) can be a lengthy process (30sec or longer depending on the reception level) thus the purpose of QGPS/AGPS.

I wrote a short article on the myth about AGPS, you can take a read if you are interested :D :D
[Touch HD General] gregwee:
Does anyone know what GPS chip is actually in the Touch HD? Is it a Sirf III? Is Static Navigation "ON" by default?
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
No, it isn't. GPS is integrated in the MSM chip, I think its called something like Qualcomm MSM7201A gpsOne.

Hi all. I want to add themes apps to my touch pro2. Ive looked into the fourm and there is nothing for people who are starting from scratch. Where and how do I add all these files and everything.

Dont reply with try the surch button as I have for the past 2 days and am lost on it all.

There should be a sticky for people like us who are all new to this. So help me and the others people like me
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
Have you tried looking at the Rhodium themes forum? (http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=491). There are several themes made by users on the first page (I'm one of them). If you look over at the Blackstone themes forum, you will find more. Almost all of these can be installed via cab file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] snuwho:
and what is cab file?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] snuwho:
just draged the ROMeOS³ RHODIUM TRANSFORMATION PREVIEW PACK and had 2 files and but both of them on my phone. Turned it off and on and nothing.

Went in to start and add other programs and it couldnt find the two I put on my phone.

So as I said there is nothing on saying what to do with these files, where they are, where they go and everything. Really badly layed out
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
funny......... when you add the cab files to your phone or memory card you need to install them using file explorer. just dragging them across doesn't install them...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] snuwho:
ok... so why dont people say that in the first place rather than theres the files enjoy there is no step by step on what files to downloader where to put them and everything. So now Im going to try this file explorer. where ever that is on here.

More searching now

thanks for your help just wish other put it up in the frist place for us noobs. Shame my blackberry was so easy on moding
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
no! file explorer is already installed on your phone. it's in programs or click start and should be one of your shortcuts. no searching............ relax as people assume that everyone knows the basics. not done intentional! open file explorer and navigate to where you put the 2 files. click on them and should start installing!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] snuwho:
hurrrrray its working now thank you ! ! !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
ha ha no worries dude! glad i could help. always remember thats most windows mobile apps that can be installed on your phone are called cab file. meaning that file ext is .cab. this can be copied to device/sd card memory and be installed!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] driekus:
Check out:

It couldn't hurt if you checked out this link:

http://www.coolsmartphone.com/index.php?option=articles&task=viewarticle&artid=336&Itemid=

Coolsmartphone learnt me all the basics when I first ventured out into the world of WinMo in 2004. I'm sure there are a lot more of these sites, they won't go much into detail on your specific device, but they will help you understand what's underneath Touchflo etc. It will probably save you a lot of frustration...

And I'm sure there's a manual that came with the phone too that will do a lot of explaining if you give it a try.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] snuwho:
funny enough I saw that site didnt help much and Ive never seen in the "manual" of how your not use there installed software and use other peoples and how to do it.

[Touch HD General] c|2iMiNaL:
As the title says. It's been like this for about 24 hours. I am able to receive calls and text messages but cannot access anything apart from the home screen with the clock. The volume button on the side also works as it is a hard button.

This happened after I was viewing web pages on the handset yesterday, I didn't close Opera and just switched the screen off via the top button then when I came back to it, the touch screen wasn't working at all. After several resets the problem resumes.

Any ideas how I can resolve this problem?

Many thanks
[Touch HD General] corwin_de_amber:
Try hard reset.

[Touch HD General] GutsyTripod:

are you using max's theme maker?

if so you may have have selected the wrong tf3d manila version when you're customising. i've never been able to fix it once its been done.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Did you get this resolved?
[Touch HD General] suffix642:
did find a solution for this? I have the exact same problem! can anyone help? I have tried hard reset and I have reinstalled the original rom (I have never used a custom rom).

Please help!!! Anyone?! :(

Sounds like a hardway problem rather than software then, so I'd recommend returning phone under warranty

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] orlandojumpoff:
Great app. I reside in the US, so I'll be waiting for North American support. I'll be following this app. Maybe you should put version numbers next to your release title, so people know how far it's coming along. Just a suggestion.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmbillings:
I've updated the first post with details on the new version of Flix, 1.0.7.0

Please let me know of any problems you find!

I've only done a little testing of Spain and Italy - I noticed with Spain especially that it often didn't seem to find much for a given town. If you encounter this, please visit the Spain Yahoo site http://es.movies.yahoo.com/ and try the same location as you put in Flix - if you get the same result, then Flix is not broken :)

If anyone would like to improve the translations, then please pm me.

Next up will be support for the US/Canada hopefully. That will be version 1.0.8.0.

In addition will be some interface changes users have requested, but these may wait for 1.0.9.0, depending on how long the new country support takes me!

I've also only played with multiple locations a little - but they should work as it basically calls the same routines for each location specified.

Split multiple locations using a semi-colon (;) without any spaces.

Thanks for all the comments (good and bad) so far!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmbillings:
I'm starting to look at adding US/Canada to Flix.

The Yahoo Movies site for those areas is significantly different to the European based ones, and one thing I've found so far is the sheer volume of information, and I thought I'd ask here what you guys feel is the way ahead...

Being from the UK, I naturally popped '90210' into Yahoo to get some results up.

This returns 119 cinemas spread across 12 pages, and that's only showtimes for the current day, not the coming week as per the Euro site. So, pulling all this data out would be pretty slow and memory hungry in all likeliness.

So, i'm thinking of maybe downloading just the first page results, but for all coming days; however I don't know the relevance of the results. Can anyone offer some information on how the cinema list is related to the zip? Is the first result the closest and they slowly move "outwards" in distance? In which case it's perhaps ok to stick to the first page... or are they in a pretty random order? If the latter, then a lot of people might find that their usual theater doesn't come up...

I'm aware 90210 is probably a pretty extreme example, but i'm curious as to some pointers on how the data coming back is relevant...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Konradwalsh:
any further developments... It does work well as is.. but was hoping you may be inspired to develop further
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmbillings:
I'll shortly be releasing support for US and Canada - it's about done. Also in that version will be an 'update' command line switch so that the download can be scheduled once a week automatically (using something like CTScheduler Lite or RunEveryday.

After that, I'd like to spruce up the interface for the next version, but if there's something specific you're looking for, let me know and I'll see if it can be added.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmbillings:
Flix has just been updated - see the first post

Main new feature is the addition of support for the US and Canada, but existing users may also find the "update" command line switch useful. If Flix is started with this switch, it will run, update, then quit. Schedule it overnight once a week and you won't have to manually update again!

There have also been a few under the skin improvements, mainly in the parsing of information.

For more advanced users, you can pre-ignore cinemas before updating for the first time, rather than updating and then ignoring them. This option is on the manage cinemas screen (just click "New" at the bottom). You'll need the ID number from the URL of your cinema to be ignored, so head off to Yahoo to find it.

As ever - if Flix doesn't find cinemas you expect, please visit the Yahoo movies site for your country and enter the same location to check what comes up.

Hi,

Good job but I have a problem :
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmbillings:
Hi,

At what point did the error come up? Could you also see if there is extra information on the detail button?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] billouetaudrey:
I have this error when I want update ...

I have WinMo 6.5 ...

The details :
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmbillings:
Thanks - can you let me know what location you used so I can debug the code? Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] billouetaudrey:
My location is :

France

62800

If I replace 62800 by the city ( Liévin ), it find Troyes :s
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmbillings:
OK, that is good you fixed it, although the error should still not show up. If it cannot find anything for the postal code, you should get a friendly message, so I will still check this and fix it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] billouetaudrey:
I edit my post :s

Because, I see if i bit "Liévin", it find "Troyes"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] billouetaudrey:
I think, it bug when the cinema name have a "é"

Because, in Lyon and Lievin, the cinema name is : " Pathé "

Sorry for my english :s
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmbillings:
OK, I can check that the ' above the e doesn't cause a problem.

However I checked the locations you gave me on fr.movies.yahoo.com and neither Liévin or 62800 show anything for me, so I don't think Flix would show anything either.

EDIT: OK, the error you got was because Yahoo have changed the message that is shown when no cinema found. Flix didn't see this so still tried to process the data. A new version will be uploaded soon :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] billouetaudrey:
Ok good :)

Thanks

Howcome when I click on the map, all the writing is in Hebrew when it brings up Googlemaps? Is there a fix for this so it shows the info in English? My translation is no too good :-)

OK - if possible when you have a spare 5 mins, could you copy all the xml and xsd files from your device (in \program files\flix) then zip them up and mail them to me?

Then I can take a look here.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] radon222:
Ok,

Here's mine. I've already tried deleting the XML's and XSD's from the Flix folder and letting program rebuild them. But I get the same error message. Now for the weird part. After FLIX crashes and I restart it, I'm still able to pull up all the movie times, dates and places.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmbillings:
Thanks for the files.

I can view all the info without problem after just copying the files onto my device, so I'll test a download and see what happens...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deradler:
I get the same error as ckong1 on my Omnia II.

WM 6.5

5.2.21863 which is the latest from Sammy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmbillings:
OK, I get the same error as radon222 doing a download using his files... so I need to investigate there to see what's going on.

As for the Out of Memory errors - I think this will be when the scrolling lists are being loaded. Again, if you can send me the files I can try them on my device to see if there is a problem in the actual data or not. I don't think the error is coming from Flix itself but the 3rd party control I'm using, but if we can pinpoint the cause I might be able to put in some sort of workaround...

Would it be possible to include switzerland in the country list?

Thank's
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] radon222:
Well I'm to hear that its not just simple user error :p . But I sure hope you can figure out what's causing it. For the heck of it I went ahead and did another complete un-install/ re-install (including nuking the /program files/Flix folder).

I still get the errors when downloading, that eventually crashes Flix...but upon re-starting the program again... the databases are populated with valid movie times.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Linuxuberant:
Flix feedback

jmbillings,

This is a great app! Feedback for v 1.0.9.5

1. Need to see the MPAA film rating (PG, PG-13, etc). Preferably right next to the film name in listing by time and showtimes for a cinema. Right now, I don't find this important info anywhere, but yahoo's web pages display it prominently.

2. When viewing a movie that has a long description, scrolling via the D-pad or PgDn key does not work. Neither does flicking the screen (that appears to select text). This leaves using the stylus to manipulate the scroll bar, which is not fun. Please make at least D-Pad page-down work.

3. For the first cinema in my "List by Cinema," when I click the Showtimes icon therein, I get a Flix.exe OutOfMemoryException. I think this has been reported by others here and has to do with the mirabyte TouchListBox? Would you like any files from me to help you debug?

4. In Cinema Listing, pick a cinema. There are 6 icons. Four of them work fine (call, see times, map, ignore theater). But the first two don't appear to do anything. They look like a laptop screen and a pair of speakers, respectively. What are these supposed to do?

5. In an earlier post, you asked if we would like to see ratings submitted by other users of Flix.exe. I'm not so interested in that, per se, but seeing the user ratings from imdb.com or even from Yahoo might be both easier to implement and more inclusive. I think Yahoo has both user and average critics rating.

BTW, I plan to donate when it gets a bit more stable :)

Thanks,

Soundman6
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] billyJ:
here is WM65 size icon for this app, anyway very good and usefull app, thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] profahmad:
Nice icon, I'll use that.

I'm having a problem with one cinema (Odeon Liverpool ONE): when I try to view the film schedule the text and icons are stretched and distorted. I've attached a screenshot.

If I view the schedule via the film itself (Movies > Pick a film > Showing times for Liverpool ONE) everything appears fine.

Is anyone else having this issue?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TKETZ196:
Hi. This is great app that i do use on my device. Although i do not use an HTC product, the app works for the most part.

Here is my problem though: When i downloaded it a couple of months ago, i did have the function that i can call the theatre and the number was stored. I updated to the latest version and that functionality was gone. I suppose it did not store the phone numbers for the theatres. I did roll back to version 1.0.9.3 from 1.0.9.5, figuring that it was just a random bug in the software. I deleted the folder and then reinstalled the older verison of the app. Still the functionality was gone.

I was wondering if it was a problem when the movie info gets updated the numbers get refeshed from the servers as well. It was sort of convenient to have in case i was on the road and the FLIX was out of date. I do not have a fast data connection nor do i have a proper data plan. i usually update it when i sync my phone with my PC and use that internet connection. I would like some insight, and i apologize about the long post. Thanks!
