For what it's worth, I use the free ones... LiveSearch and Google.

I find Google to be OK for the most part and the maps are of a better visual crispness than LS but I find LS to be far superior in its added functionality and the little things. Lat/lon is one, the SMS results to friends is another, and turn by turn albeit on screen and it just beeps when you must turn but it's fine. And the beep comes at a fair distance before the turn is up. Too bad it doesn't work with the zoom slider...

Tried the new Bing version that came out last week, what a horrible piece of software! I went back to the older version pretty quick.

For what I use it and for the free factor I think this is a fantastic piece of software.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DarienA:
Hmm I have Bing installed on my phone but I've never used it for turn by turn directions. Does it beep as well? That's the biggest downside to using Google Maps for turn by turn for me, you have to look at it...

I was a Garmin user, and know what I'm missing, but CoPilot for $20 is enough for me at the moment.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] grungysquash:
It has to be TomTom

Well it has to be TomTom - I run V840 maps and it's brilliant - there is nothing the unit is missing - have tried copilot (V7) and it never compared as well as TomTom. It's also easy to locate new maps and get them working for TomTom

Garmin XT

I used Tom Tom then one day I try Garmin and never come back.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] The Jack of Clubs:
i heart my garmin. i have maps that are less than a month old. its really pretty. the gas prices feature is the mostest awesomest.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 1milenia:
is tomtom a free file ...by any chance would you have the file thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] The Jack of Clubs:
garmin, tomtom, and i think copiolot too are all free software. its the maps you have to buy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Sleuth255:
iGO added to Poll by popular demand. Have at it!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] The Jack of Clubs:
i see google maps and bing up there. maybe when google releases their turn by turn to windows mobile. garmin has google search built in. ive been thinking about navigon though. it has that feature to tell you which friggin lane to get it. houston highways can get exhausting without something like that.

shmancy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] aadadams:
I have had it with TomTom and iGuidance! Trying to legally update my software and maps has been a REAL pain with TomTom, and Launching iGuidance with an active data connection seems to plague the software even today. I am going to buy OnCourse Navigator if someone confirms for me that I CAN COPY THE CONTENTS OF THE CARD THEY SEND ME TO MY 16GB CARD AS LONG AS I SET THE FOLDER VIEW TO VIEW ALL SYSTEM AND HIDDEN FILES BEFOREHAND. I'd like two confirmations before pulling the trigger. TIA!

EDIT: Does this have traffic info?

GPS Software

I have both Tom Tom and IGO8. There is no doubt in my mind IGO is a much better soloution. Faster, Better graphics, features not found on TomTom such as lane info and you can easily modify it to how you like. no other can do this. The mapping is spot on and there isn't the 3-4sec GPS running lag as is on TomTom. I am in the States and have all of North America on my SD card that is updateable on the fly. much better product...

Hello, I've stumbled upon this article:

http://translate.google.com/transla...ge=1#pid126359&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&history_state0=

However I have no knowledge or whatsoever regarding ROMs and custom kernels. However some say that this ROM is pretty good.

Could someone please check it out?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hedggie:
I've just got the app, but the wifi signal doesn't show up on my computer's available wireless networks. I searched everything in the Raphael thread, and the only thing I found was someone else with the same problem, but it was never truly answered, someone said try to set up a ad-hoc on your computer which I tried and didn't work. I even searched the "Don't start a new thread" thread and found nothing. Any help would be great.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ntron1:
which model phone do you have and what carrier?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hedggie:
not to be rude, but let's think... what forum are we in? could it be the rapheal forum? and my carrier is alltel(which is a reasonable question)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Captain_Throwback:
Come on, be respectful. To be fair, if you have an Alltel Touch Pro, then you do not even have a Raphael; you have a Herman.

Perhaps you should try asking your question in the thread for that app (or search that thread for an answer). There's also a similar thread in the Raphael software forum about it. I recommend you look there as well.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Blufires:
Others have probably figured this one out, but from my searches I found no other posts.

I am somewhat of an audiophile, and i wished to use the in-ear headphones which came with my Sony Ericsson Walkman W810i (old phone) to listen to music on my universal. unfortunately, these earphones have a 15cm cord, which won't even reach into my front pocket. To fix this issue, I decided to get a handsfree adaptor (why pay ~$5 for a plain old extension cord?). Mine cost ~4.50 AUD on ebay from hong kong, and was originally designed for an iPhone. Many people have assumed that these (plain 1 button + mic + headphones/headphone socket) iPhone headsets will work with the Universal. this is not the case. After pluggin this in with my wonderful sony heaphones I noticed taht the sound was tinny and sounded very washed out. I realised that this was because the ground pin and microphone pin on the universal are in opposite locations to those on the iPhone. The ground wire (feeding the power back from the headphones to the Universal) was going through the microphone first, and it's semi-conducting nature was screwing up the sound. Holding in the button (completely analog, just provides a fully conductive bridge on the mic channel) fixed the problem. So to fix this whole issue, I opened up the case of the headset adaptor (where the mic is) and swapped the wire from the headphone socket ground to the other side of the switch (which connects to the other wire (iPhone mic/Universal ground)) with my soldering iron. It took me only about 5 seconds of soldering and it was done. After snapping the case shut again, the headphones now provide excelent quality for my hardstyle beats:D.

I do have a question still though. On the iPhone (and Universal) the mic pin is grounded to provide a button click. This pauses and plays the music and answers phone calls on the iPhone, and a double click skips to the next song. Does this button answer phone calls on the Universal (I don't have a Universal headset and never have. I think it has a button, but correct me if I'm wrong). Is there any software/driver I can install to let this button pause/play and/or skip tracks in media player/pocket player? This would be very usefull software, and should be easy enough to write if anybody has the skill/desire to make this software (since the microphone is accessible to software, isn't it?). The signal should change from the mic having lots of resistance to having effectively none (showing a constantly high signal for microphone (not wave)). Maybe it could just be programed to run as a hardware button so that other software (such as voice command) can use it.

I'm unsure if this software exists already but I havn't found anything in searches:(.

Thanks for any help you can give regarding this software, and also happy modding to anybody looking to convert an iPhone headset, I hope this info helps.

#Edit#

If the phone uses the headset button as the "green button" then maybe this software is still possible. Call Of Duty 2 for pocket pc uses the green and red buttons as game controlls, which doesn't change to the phone applications.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] rajivshahi:
HI the software exist but it didn't work that good for me well search in devs and hack section and you'll find it and it can only function with some other 3rd party music player not WM player..

and yes uni did come with wired headset with button in it just to answer the call nothing more and it might be because uni is old and had wm5 as original rom....

Cheers

Rajiv
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] -Jonny-:
ah that's what the button was for. I never could figure it out, it didn't seem to do anything!

on another note, I got a nice BT headset. Seems a bit agressive, but you could buy a cheap headset that has AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) and rip off the earbuds to be left with the remote control.. :eek: (then again I'm unsure if you're wired headphones would fight with A2DP on the BT headphones, and you may need a way around disabling that)

(or for less agressive, look up AVRCP on dev and hacking and see if anyone has another suggestion).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] rajivshahi:
hey jonny can you map a program in any key in your motos9 ????
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] enigma1nz:
I use my bluetooth headset and a long press gets me Voice Command, the only difficulty is working it with Pocket Player. I got it setup to work with Voice Command instead of Media Player which I don't use at all, but it only works for starting the music and getting your media selection (album/artist/genre or anything), but once you have your music playing there is no way to make another selection or advance to next or revert to previous. Still... not a bad going, I say.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] rajivshahi:
thanx a lot dear... that was what i was after... i wanted music control + voice command to be operative from headset... thanx again for valuable information....:D:D:D:D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] -Jonny-:
I haven't really tried... mostly because it does exactly what I want :cool:

I have hands-free-phone controls on one side (volume +/- and pick-up call/make call button, can be used with hands-free dialing etc), and media-player controls on the other (next/prev song, play/pause button) (nb, yes, other volume +/- control also controls music volume).

I don't see why not extra mapping if you really wanted it. Perhaps make search on AVRCP.

Hope this helps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] enigma1nz:
Glad i could help.:)

However, if you don't want your music over bluetooth and prefer it playing over Uni's speakers, there is no problem using BT for commands, it's only becomes problematic when you send audio over BT. Starting programs and apps with Voice Command over BT works fine as well. Doesn't have to be A2DP either, a single mono BT headset works just as well. :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] rajivshahi:
Thanx . i want music... i'm just music freak and watch lots of video... but i also want be able to call my contacts, open programs without taking my uni out using voice Command so i just wanted to map Voice Command into one of buttons so i can leave my uni in my pocket... and for music purpose moto s9 seems to be irresistible...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] enigma1nz:
Yep, you can definitely do all that. For me the primary purpose was to get the music going while my Uni is in my bag in the backseat, I just select 'Anything' and Voila!

Basically, a long press will get you a Voice Command prompt, no need to map anything specifically, and you say what it is that you want. I amuse my friends by asking my Uni all sorts of inane questions, like what time it is etc. The worst thing is when I don't have my BT on - the blasted thing reads all my txts and e-mails out loud. So people now send me all sorts of **** on purpose, just so that people around me look at me and my talking bag funny.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] rajivshahi:
Thanx for the lovely advice about the text part... so i should be more careful about the txt and to stop my bag from being a center of attraction .LOL
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] -Jonny-:
rajivshahi, just a thought. the S9's are great, but they don't have a microphone. so only really great for listening to music, or your sat-nav! but answering calls, the Uni must be seomwhere near your mouth!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] rajivshahi:
Hey Jonny wait a second... i think moto s9 has built in mic... look at the following picture....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] -Jonny-:
rajivshahi, you're the man! Yes, I looked it up in my little book that came with the S9, and you're right. 6: microphone: used when placing or receiving a calls (embedded inside right ear housing)

I haven't tried a phone call on them/voice command. I will do so. Oh, this makes them my most wanted item... eh, what am I talking about, I own it:D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] rajivshahi:
ok can you tell me hows the sound quality of the mic... can the other party hear clearly... as its bit far from mouth and embedded inside ear bud.... and would love to know how smoothly voice command runs in it ...:D:D:D:D:D

Handsfree Headset Pinout

I'm making a car cradle for my Uni that uses usb charge, and a 3.5 mm splitter to plug into the car stereo and an ext mic. I have no idea how this will sound with no extra noise correction (I have very loud speakers and a crappy freebe test mic), but I was trying to find the pinouts for the headset jack. the first post in this thread is as close as I could find, and after cross referenceing the iphone headset, the pinout for the Uni is left (tip), right (next ring up), mic(3rd ring up), gnd (closest to the wire coming out). really I'm doing this post so I can find it later; once I confirm this info as true, I'll add it to the wiki with a nice little picture.

The version Rogers sells is the Sapphire PVT 32A

But you will not be able to root it,

it has many applications that can not be un-installed,

Rogers will not unlock the phone, Ever under any circumstances

but yeah, they do sell them.

hey guys here with another question.... im currently using CM 4.0.2 with Teds Hero theme and im wondering is there anyway i can use the Aero icons? Im not sure if i can specifically change each icon like i was able to do with dxtop back when i was non-rooted... any help is greatly appreciated!... thanks! :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turboyo:
get the icon pack and use bettercut app in the market .. im pretty sure theres and icon pack.. if not just get the icons from the aero theme and put them on sd
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
You can easily change the icon of app in the apk file. Open the apk with something like winrar and navigate to res/drawables. The icon is normally card ic_launcher_icon.png, if the icon doesnt have that name then sort by size (it will be 2-5kb). Once you've found it open the .zip from the theme you want to port and navigate to the apk. From there go to res/drawable and find the icon. If it has the same name just drag it and drop it in to the apk you want to theme. If not drag it to your dektop, rename it and paste it in the apk. It's a bit tedious, takes me a about 20mins to do 10 icons. After that adb push the apk's or copy them over with terminal.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] butz007:
just played with my HTC touch HD and try to figure it out on how to change the Image Banner/Browser Icon on my Internet Tab....

check this out :cool:

http://s157.photobucket.com/albums/t57/butz007/htc%20touch%20hd/?action=view&current=safari_browser.jpg

how to do it very simple

1. Create an Icon... must be on .PNG (whatever software do you prefer will definitely do as long as the final output would be on Transparent PNG)

note: the size of the PNG icon must be on 480 by 200 pixels, 72 dpi

2. Edit the XML code, don't be afraid this won't bite you (for all the newbs and non-developers)

you could always locate the XML code on this path on your device go to Application\Manila

InternetPortal.xml and InternetPortal-en-AU.xml

copy that and edit it on your desktop computer using a Notepad

note: make sure you have a back-up copy of the original better do this than sorry

then heres the original code just look the following highlighted text this is the one you going to change

***************************

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

<InternetPortal>

<IncludeUserFavorites>True</IncludeUserFavorites>

<Banner

DefaultImagePath="\Windows\480x200.qtc"

SelectedImagePath="\Windows\480x200.qtc"

Text="Launch Gee!"

NavigateUrl="http://gee-select.starhubgee.com.sg/wap/"

Width="480"

Height="215" />

<OperatorLinks>

<Link

Text="YouTube"

Executable="\windows\youtube.exe"

ImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube.qtc" />

</OperatorLinks>

</InternetPortal>

*******************************************

the first two highlighted text where the image path and the filename of icon that you just created... OK!?

example

DefaultImagePath="\Windows\myicon.png"

SelectedImagePath="\Windows\myicon.png"

second, I'm using a Blackstone that i bought in singapore so theres starhub logo and starhub link there so I've really don't know on your devices if were both the same but i think all htc devices were all the same when it comes to firmware.. so next on my device I got a welcome text

example

Text="Launch achu chu chu etc etc...or welcome to my world!"

Third Highlighted Text is the link of your banner

Whatever Link you may think that you usually go so often using your device

NavigateUrl="http://playboy.com"

and then FINALLY

copy this the two edited xml file and overwrite it on you devices, same path ofcourse.....Application\Manila, using Total Commander

then put your created art (PNG) on the main windows folder and viola, your personalized Internet Tab.......

...............................................................................

LIKE it..LOVE it.. HATE IT.. WHATEVER!! just enjoy it! ... :D

So neewb here to rooting, rooted my G1 after many reads and trys then found a easy how link.

Now have the mytouch, would like the Hero rom again without the lag and slowness of the G1 root.

My issue is I feel the mytouch is already too slow due to adding twidroid and I feel the stock keyboard is slow and I type faster then it can move?

Have they developed a 1touch root and stable hero rom where it doesnt lag and everything works on it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] st0kes:
Hero roms don't work well on the 32B Magic (Google branded) but they work fine on 32A.

There are Hero themed roms that work fine on the 32B though.

The 1 touch root works but it's likely to be patched soon. CyanogenMod rom works well on the 32B, nice and fast with some interesting features. New stuff from Donut is being added from week to week which keeps it interesting.
