[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] procter:
I've been using igo8 with TTS on my Touch all the way till diamond. Previously everyting runs well on all stock wm 6.1 roms. After I flashed to Juicy8 WM 6.5 rom, my TTS suddenly would not work any more. All I got is a "ding" at each waypoint instead of pronouncing the street name etc.

I searched my a$$ off online and replaced all the TTS related files to the newest I could find online, still would not work. Asked in other forums, someone suggested that it may be the DLLs for TTS in the pack are not compatible with WM 6.5, but I do not want to flashed it back to 6.1 to test before I'm certain this is indeed the cause.

I'm using igo 8.3.2 series with up-to-date main program, the TTS packs are susanTTS high quality.

If you have any idea how to make the TTS work in Juicy ROM or generally wm 6.5 system, please share. TIA.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mitsi:
I'm not sure what TTS is. Is it TomTom Skin?

I am using 2.07.Gen.Y ROM with WM6.5. I have TomTom 7.915 and iGO8 8.0.0.44898 with the TomTom skin and they both work very well. The only issue I have is that I only have about 30Mb of RAM when TF3D is on, so I have to use TF Detacher to turn it off and this then gives me enough RAM for iGO8 to run. Perhaps you need a different ROM??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] procter:
TTS is Text-To-Speech, it's almost a basic function now on all GPS units. All it does is to announce the street name and tell you to turn left or right etc.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] procter:
re-flashed the phone to newer release juicy8 rom again. Before that I flashed back to sprint stock 6.1 ROM, igo8 TTS works fine. Then I flashed to the new 6.5 rom, and to my surprise the TTS worked for a while after I flashed it (with 54Mb available storage), but after a couple of programs installed and the available storage reduced the 30MB TTS stopped working again.

Tried to disable touchflo 3d to get some memory back, did not work.

BTW, TTS worked fine in 6.1 ROM previously when I normally have 20MB available storage memory. It might crash from time to time, but generally it was working. I don't understand why in 6.5 even with 30MB storage, it did not work. Or maybe it conflicted with one of my installed programs?

I had:

Resco expolorer

Hi-Cal

Phatenots ofr outlook

Phatpad

Touchpal

Others are built-in the ROM such as facebook, googlemap, opera etc.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] JJKameR:
With the rom in my sign and latest NeoS2007 drivers iGo is working perfectly.

To have TTS working good you need at least 50% of free ram...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] BigE:
Same problem on touch HD

I can confirm the same problem. It did work with TTS on WM6.5 23016,23017 versions. It did even work with 23037.

I have flashed to a new WM6.5 23041 version, and my TTS is mute. Also, trying to change regional setting crashes igo with message: "can't find big_flag_isl.bmp"

Any solution?:(

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Quanni90:
it has to be the rom because i used igo8 n a tts file and it didnt work at all, just liek u said all i heard was a ding sound, its defiantly wm6.5
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] j0lx:
Same problem on TD2 with official WM6.5 ROM

I'm having the same problem on my TD2:

WM6.5 ROM version 2.16.405.4 (67041) WWE

iGo8.3.4.102680

I also get the 'ding' with no voice after it.

Non-TTS voices work just fine.

When I first ran iGO8 after the upgrade from WM6.1 (where TTS *WAS* working), I did see some popups asking me to allow the Loquendo TTS DLLs to run. There are 4 DLLS but I only ever saw 3 popups asking for authentication. That's rather weird. Perhaps the 4th DLL is exiting silently in the background. I don't know.

What I do know is that it is ridiculous in this day and age of virtualised segmented memory models to design an application that requires such a big 'real' memory footprint! It seems that iGO8 attempt to load the entire 30MB TTS 'binary' in one hit when you start the application, rather than loading a small piece of it and reading from 'storage' when necessary. Maybe this is a Loquendo issue and not an iGO specific issue. Maybe there is a registry entry to tell Loquendo not to use so much memory on load. I don't know. It would seem sensible to allow dynamic tuning of the memory footprint of the TTS component to allow it to run under low-memory conditions. Surely it's not that hard for the developers!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ttsherpa:
Same issue here.

But the weird thing is that it worked twice for me in my TD2, regardless of the memory I used. But after hard resetting it stopped working again. So to me it's a mistery why it works say, 20% of the times.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sile87:
Same Problem here.. till now

Device: O2 xda diamond pro (raphael)

Rom: Latest TAEL Rom (WM6.5)

iGO8 Version 8.3.## tested all from march to august ..

My TTS always works great in the past, untill now. Allready tested many different TTS Files, and voices. Bad luck :(

I saw the Post above, and i turned off tf3d. (before: ~54% ; after: ~44%) I also overwrite all the TTS Files (.dll) with other ones. (TTS-Fix found somewhere on the net.)

I attach the tts fix to my Post, actual they should work with other languages, too. :)

Try it and report back, hope it works!

PS: Copy/overwrite the new .dll s in iGO8 Folder (Maybe backup the old ones!) Sry, but the Manual is only in german..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] navmanpin100:
copied the three files to replace files under \IGO8\ except the german one. It did not work.

hey thanks for ur help..i understood the procedure for upgrading the ROM,but it stil doesnt answer my question.Can i install a WM6.5 ROM on my WM6.1 diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] elcom:
Yes you can.

Flashing a 6.5 rom is just like flashing a 6.1 rom. All you have to do is find the rom that best suits your needs (easier said than done). I've flashed my phone many many times (warning, it becomes addictive).

As a matter of fact I assume that most diamond owners on this forum are already running winmo 6.5.

Check out the rom section of this forum.

Hi, how would u go about incoporating file commands such as delete into and android app in eclipse which i am using ?

Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
For manipulating files, you should look at java.io.File

i.e.

File file = new File("path");

file.delete();
[G1 Apps and Games] Daneshm90:
Hey, thanks for that i tried it..it works for files but for deleting folders that are not empty it doesnt work ? ne way to work around that ?

Thanks Again For Your Quick Reply
[G1 Apps and Games] Meltus:
I used this in my Audio Hack app and it worked nicely :)

Process process = null;
try {
process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(process.getOutputStream());
try {
os.writeBytes("busybox rm -r blah/blah/blah \n");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
os.writeBytes("exit\n");
} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
os.flush();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

this just runs any busybox command as root so you can do whatever you want.

it seems to only work for me with busybox at the start though, meaning anyone using it must have busybox.

hope this answers your question
[G1 Apps and Games] Daneshm90:
Hmmm....nice script u have there...so im tryin to make a script for my app where it would go into a directory..get the filenames....n substitute that into the filename.delete() command....can neone help ?

Also on most command prompt/shells....when u do delete folder/*.* it deletes everything in tht folder...no substitute for android ?
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
You need to use caution when using that approach since;

1) it requires root (at least his example does),

*2*) it is dependent on what commands are available on the particular system. You can't rely on anything here.

The workaround for deleting non-empty directories is to first delete the contents in order to MAKE them empty.

It is fairly simple to write a recursive delete function;

void recursiveDelete(String path){

File file = new File(path);

if (!file.delete() && file.isDirectory()){

String[] filelist = file.list();

for (int i=0; i<filelist.length; i++) recursiveDelete(filelist);

file.delete();

}

}

I don't know what the paths that are returned by file.list() look like... there is another function "isAbsolute()" to check if it is a relative or absolute path returned... if it is a relative path, then you want to do your recursiveDelete on path+"/"+filelist.

Note: you could also take this approach, which is probably a little more clean;

void recursiveDelete(File file){

if (!file.delete() && file.isDirectory()){

File[] filelist = file.listFiles();

for (int i=0; i<filelist.length; i++) recursiveDelete(filelist);

file.delete();

}

}

This approach solves the whole absolute/relative path question. You just have to remember to

recursiveDelete(new File("path"));

Instead of:

recursiveDelete("path");

[Touch GSM General] DawidK:
Hi All,

I'm have HTC Elf0100 (not a clone - bought at Orange France).

Preparing for full unlock I've dumped my original ROM following:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_HowtoDumpRom

After dumping ROM and packing it back, I've tried to upload it to ELF back (together with IPL/SPL).

As it was dumped from my device I didn't expect to have any issues, but when upload reached 100%, Elf rebooted as normal and it was the last time when I saw anything on display.

Currently even when I'm connecting USB cable I don't see any light of charging (orange LED close to speaker).

I tried already to execute bootrom screen (power on + camer button) but it seems to not work.

Does any one of you have any advises what to do now?

I've checked all the subjects related anyhow to bricking the phone, booting, etc under Elf forum and subforums but didn't find any working solution.

I hope I missed one working as I'd like to get it back to live.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Dawid

p.s. if any other information are needed, please let me know and I'll be happy to provide them.

Hi!

My question is as follows: I bought an Excalibur SIM unlocked (free for any carrier) from ebay and it comes with WM6.1 installed with chinese/english interface. I would like to install the oficiall spanish wm6 rom from HTC...Can I do that just with the rom loader and then install the oficial spanish rom or I need to do something more to avoid errors? I assume since my excalibur is brand new and has a non-oficial rom installed that it is unlocked already.

Thanks guys!

hi all

www.netacceler.com has been in news for some time now for their allegedly excellent softwares for PC and Mobile

match 5 net accelerator claims that the software can increase the speed of net surfing significantly. i personally went to test it and found a thing or two worth mentioning

1 the software sync only with older browsers ie IE 5 and 6 and firefox 1.5 and 2 but with higher version of opera it sync with no hassel .

2 that brings me the second point that since opera also uses turbo teachnology my guess is that same is true for this software.

3 their second piece is MATCH5 browser for window mobile ( wvga, vga, wqvga and qvga versions are supported) . it plays flash website such as youtube with no problem and its faster than opera mini even !!!!

great going but i think that it uses proxy servers though they didnt mention it and nor its clear from their description in the website.

4 any way with all said and done you can get trial versions of both here and regisster in their website

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] brynweb:
The Opera browser does it automatically. For everything else, practically every TP2 owner has installed 'Gyrator 2' or 'screenChanger' (my favourite), which are free apps utilising the G-Sensor. They run pretty much silently and allow you to configure which programs you want to rotate etc.

Get the TP2 - You know you want to. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quarintus:
Yes. But only by sliding out the keyboard. You can use the G sensor, but then you have to adjust the registry.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andrewrees:
Theres a reg hack to enable the change orientation function to be shown in the screen to change button assignments. So you can set when you hold down the send button it changes to landscape mode. And you don't have to pull out the keyboard!

changeScreen does a better job of hiding itself than Gyrator. One day I'll use the reg hack, but I'm still in the tinkering stage where I can't make up my mind about what programs I want to rotate, so it's easier for me to use the program option right now.

[Touch HD General] rfox:
:confused: Why doesn't HTC make the Android OS available for the Blackstone? They just released the HTC Hero (very cool video as well) here:

http://www.htc.com/europe/product/hero/gallery.html

and the hardware specs are almost identical as the Blackstone -

HTC should make the ROMs available without direct support and let the XDA community keep it going (for those who want away from WinMobile)

I LOVE my Blackstone (especially with Dutty's ROM) but would prefer an Android based device if possible.

Maybe we should petition HTC to let Android loose for the Blackstone device (at least have access to the Hero ROM for porting)

What do you think??

Thx,

R.Fox
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
I don't think a petition would make much difference, people will still go out and buy HTC devices, so why should they change?

Also, HTC are aware of sites like XDA and know it would only be a while before a version compatible for the HD was created....so why should they do it?

I'm with you though. I wish the support HTC provided for existing customers equalled Apples who offer free upgrades etc
[Touch HD General] chandalf:
Android on Touch HD

If the specs of the HD and Hero are so similar, then surely it is possible just to port the OS over, as is? It is Open Source after all. It doesn't need HTC's permission for us to put it there. And as for support, surely the Android community in partnership with XDA-D would be enough?

[Touch HD General] perplexTom:
Hello,

first of all, I am new here and must say - really great work here!

Touch HD vs. Hero:

OK the specifications are almost the same, almost! Hero has multitouch, this is a step against Touch HD! Touch HD has the better resolution, if I am not wrong.

Windows against Android (inc. Sens): If I look on the new Hero product tour on htc - great - I want quite clearly Android! However, I am confident that this will be available on Touch HD... sooner or later, official or unofficial!
[Touch HD General] chandalf:
Android

Ah yes, forgot that difference!
[Touch HD General] Wiggz:
Unfortunately there is a slight flaw with that. The new device creation along with inherent new OS and/or Software allows companies to diversify their wares to a much larger extent than Apple. Whilst Apple, as I agree, manage to keep their users up to date with the latest and greatest they produce, the breadth of what they produce is sadly lacking.

It's a trade off and as anything comes down to money and a business model.

You could use wildcards.

This should install all files ending with .apk in the folder
