Ah, so they do need very specific information as to which direction to face?

In which case I retract my previous comment.
[HD2 General] le_paulo:
I find that retraction completely hilarious! :D

There are quite a few Muslims on XDA (not to mention the few billion others here and there), including at least one well-known and respected ROM cooker.

That being the case, maybe we will see a Leo app to assist our Muslim friends in their daily prayers. :cool:

@bym007 - you probably know about Qibla Locator
[HD2 General] Syphon Filter:
lol! My original post just highlighted my own ignorance and czbird's post highlighted that.

Whilst I am an arrogant prick most of the time I'm not to proud to admit/accept when I am wrong! No offence intended to anyone and I hope none was taken!

Mine doesn't work (Spanish Vodafone ROM), i set all settings but in street view mode it doesn't move , i must touch screen to move.
[HD2 General] barty22:
street view doesn't work with the compass for anyone...
[HD2 General] barty22:
Updated first post with info to use compass in potentially all gps navigation software!
[HD2 General] ruscik:
Well I would not trust compass in google maps. Depending from it's mood it has north on one side and at next glance it is 180 degrees the opposite way!!

and no I did not have any way points marked on google maps or in compass.

Will admit defeat iphone has that working so much better.
[HD2 General] ruscik:
How do you get street view in google maps on hd2????
[HD2 General] oainot:
touch the place and hold for pop-up menu to appear. you will see street view option if available.
[HD2 General] barty22:
isn't anyone interested in trying the hardware compass in your gps navigation software?
[HD2 General] deyanp:
Of course I am interested - I will test it and report the results with igo.

Is there a clean uninstall of the driver or should I backup/restore something manually?
[HD2 General] barty22:
You don't have to backup stuff, the driver allows uninstalling. Be sure to do a soft reset before uninstall to make sure the driver isn't loaded yet.
[HD2 General] turt:
Hi, this is potentially great, but which navigation software actually uses the compass, apart from Google Maps?
[HD2 General] barty22:
We didn't test many apps, Google Maps works, iGO8 works, iGO Amigo doesn't, please try and report how it works with other software! Be sure to force the software to use the new com port of GpsModDriver, and if possible, disable lock position to road or similar functionality.
[HD2 General] turt:
Do you think it may improve anything with TomTom?
[HD2 General] barty22:
Please try :)
[HD2 General] turt:
Ok, I will try and report as soon as I can...
[HD2 General] deyanp:
Guys, you two simply rock! This is really sick (for a WinMo device, I mean) - both Google Maps and iGo work without any problem! I tested them from a stationary position only (at home):

1) arrow rotates in Google Maps

2) whole screen rotates in igo when in 2d and 3d, if pedestrian mode set OR car mode but setting for keeping on road unchecked

In both apps the refresh rate is somehow obvious - I think you mentioned 1 sec and it rotates really in 1 frame/sec ;) So if you make a full rotation, then the arrow (google maps) or screen (iGo) follows with a couple of small rotations.

A big thank you for the amazing work!
[HD2 General] appelflap:
Great! Thanks.

Will test it in tomtom, copilot and last but not least OziExplorer.

Does your driver potentially means that navigation software like tomtom knows how the car is oriented when the car is standing still? That would be a very welcome addition, because when you start a route, most of the time it is unclear in which direction you initially have to drive.
[HD2 General] barty22:
Yes appelflap, that is correct. The functionality is there. There is a 'but' though. If those gps applications decide to just position your location on the road, locked to a certain heading then of course it won't work. So you have to try to see how these apps use the compass heading. Another but is that during our testing we could not get reliable compass readings In the car because of the electronics and magnetic fields in the car. Please try and see how it works for you, and be sure to report!

btw I love appelflappen!
[HD2 General] Syphon Filter:
So this app basically adds "dead reckoning" to any GPS software?
[HD2 General] barty22:
Yes, that's one of the things GpsModDriver was originally developed for.
[HD2 General] Syphon Filter:
Nice.

When there's a bit more feedback up I might give this a go.
[HD2 General] eyeofthetiger:
When I download the cab file i get this message

"Driver did not autoload. Com Port number is not assigned. Soft reset then look in registry."

I have looked at the original post and cannot find the registry entry. Where is this?

[HD2 General] Appelsap:
Wowzers, just loaded it onto my HD2, booted up iGO - changed the settings as indicated - and bingo! It works like a charm. This is really great. Most of the time, it takes the device a few seconds to know which way I'm going, so when I really have no clue which way I need to go, I have to choose a direction, and then see what the software says after a while. Now it will tell me straight off the driveway whether to go left or right. Nice! :D:D:D
[HD2 General] htc12345:
Installed the 1.50b version driver. Installs perfectly, after selecting the GPSmoddriver on com3 in Garmin XT the app shows no change in map direction at all. Only tested from my desktop and rotating the phone. The map direction does not follow the orientation of the Digital Compass. Digital Compass works as expected.
[HD2 General] appelflap:
There is a third but, to play with the settings isn't that easy. I totaly haven't a clue of what the appropriate values have to be to get this driver working in the scenario I described. I tested it with copilot and tomtom and it didn't quite worked the way I wanted it to work. The cause may be one of 2 "buts" you described, but it may really be caused by the additional 3rd "but" :)

Maybe you can give me some hints how to get this driver working in the scenario I described?

Aren't they great?!
[HD2 General] htc12345:
Absolutely :).
[HD2 General] deyanp:
I tested it in the car with iGo and the compass works great! My phone in the car is not 100% straight, however, so the screen points a little bit sideways, when the car is not moving, but this can be solved ;)
[HD2 General] 4tune:
Just had a big fight over the last few appelflappen at the local oliebollenkraam. I won :D

On topic, it works like a charm.
[HD2 General] deyanp:
I have to add something, though. The new driver seems to cause some problems, like the pointer jumping back and forth, not keeping steady position, and even causing a device slowdown - I got an exception in device.exe and had to soft reset. Note - the jumping of the pointer is there also when I enable the "keep on road" option in Igo ... Also I experienced a strange on-off-on-off... activity of the GPS in Igo after swithing off the app and then switching it on in a place with no direct visibility to sky ..

I have changed back to COM4, but will continue testing till end of the week also with COM3 ...

Is this driver doing also other stuff besides injecting the compass data when speed less than 5km/h? Because if the driver is doing some other funky stuff, I'd rather it doesn't ... It should simply inject the compass data, otherwise it should copy 1:1 what it gets from COM4 ...
[HD2 General] Syphon Filter:
Dude,

Any more news on how well this mod functions with CoPilot?
[HD2 General] ApkFiles.com:
I am still confused about the "digital compass" on HD2. Aparently it looks like a special hardware feature but I asked the HTC support if teoretically that application woul work on HD1 or if it has some special hardware and they said:

"kindly be informed that it depends on the GPS and the G-sensor"

So the digital compass would also work on HD1 then ? If it is only by GPS and G-sensor? Did I get it right? :D
[HD2 General] barty22:
Guys thank you for trying it, right now I am still in paris after celebrating the new years here, will go back home soon though.

Appelflap, the settings work just as described in the original post in the gpsmoddriver thread. If you want to know something in more detail, please mention your doubts. I missed what scenario you described appelflap, could you please elaborate on your problem for me?

deyanp, yes the driver does additional things besides the compass feature (which are meant to improve gps functionality of course), but it can be configured to leave everything untouched, how to do that can be found in the gpsmoddriver thread. When im back from paris and you haven't found it yet, i will paste a link for you. I doubt it ruins your gps though, it was probably some bad gps fix or something. Anyway if you can reproduce problematic situations I'd love to hear it. Also you can correct the position of your device in the car with a manual calibration, but I'm sure you knew that :)

thanks all for your comments!
[HD2 General] cederron:
Imho this lack of an unified api for windows mobile devices is hurting the application development a lot.

For example if i have to write a bluetooth app i would have to write a version for the MS stack and another for the Widcom stack. Accelerometers, compasses, etc. have the same problem (or even worse).

MS has to do something soon...
[HD2 General] ChefChaudart:
Hello,

Wich com: port do you use after installing this driver ?

Cheers.
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
COM3, as it says during installation.
[HD2 General] ChefChaudart:
Thanks I must admit that I´m a little bit scared to install this. :(
[HD2 General] barty22:
Lol, why? It is pretty safe to try, it doesn't mess with the original gps drivers or anything else. When you don't like it you can safely remove it without any harm done :)
[HD2 General] bym007:
No offence taken!

The reason why Muslims need a specific direction is already discussed. Hence, my joy at noticing the Compass functionality in HD2!

Thanks for the link le_paulo. Only gripe being I would prefer a handy application on the handset!
[HD2 General] barty22:
Look here to see if you get better results leaving gps untouched.
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
It could be setup so it only does that.
[HD2 General] deyanp:
Thanks, I will try that during the weekend.

I just tested is with Navigon's Mobile Navigator 7 on my HD2 and works like a charm. Big congrats.
[HD2 General] Razorbill:
First let me say that this is a great addon to the nav software!

Initially I had the problem that my system date would be reset to 2001 everytime I used this driver (with IGo8).

After installing version 1.51 that problem went away, but now instead I have a new issue... Now it will reset my location/time to "My Location" every time I use it.

Any help would be appreciated!
[HD2 General] richardsoffice:
this is the very thing I have been wanting

Well done Barty22 & March2003, for me this is the very thing I have been wanting. So now I will buy a HTC HD mini knowing I can then get iGo8 or Amego to use in conjunction with this GpsModDriver 1.5 :)

When travailing abroad and I get off the airport bus at town centres with tall buildings all around, GPS cannot quickly get a fix so what should I do, stand out in the rain for up to 20 minutes to get a fix so I head off in the right direction for my hotel:confused: Hopefully with this I will have an indicated direction in which too walk while I am waiting for a fix. :)

And for the unimaginative:rolleyes: NO I can’t use Google Maps when abroad because they require data connection and if you don’t realize this is tremendously expensive when roaming.

There sure are some daft comments in this thread from folks that I assume just don’t think outside the box:cool:

Hi guys,

I'm a total Noob with pocket pc's.

I just got the Touch Diamond 2 from Vodafone Germany.

I did a Rom update to WM 6.5.

According to a member at pocketpc.ch, I got Manila 2.1 with this update.

Now, I am desperately looking for a different theme than the butt ugly red and white that's on the phone.

I see all those custom themes and they are great, my problem is that I have no freakin' clue which one would work on my TD2.

There are so many abrevations and slang that my head is spinning.

I would really appreciate it, if someone here could give me a link to a black or dark blue theme, that will work with my phone.

I tried one yesterday, but it screwed up my TD2 and it took me forever to get it back to normal. :eek:

It was the dusk theme : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=518479

Something like that would be awesome.:p

Thanks a lot in advance,

I seem to be having problems with ANY edited boot.img? Is there much changed in the boot.img for official magic sense ui?

Reason im asking is i can flash cyan roms,nko2 roms etc but if i try and based on sense ui it gives me a write_raw_image:BOOT error :mad:

ok if i fastboot boot boot.img it loads to the HAMI boot screen but just loops?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] at314:

its even doing it with the official sense ui for magic

So not only hero builds
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bonesy:
The problem is the BFS Boot.img whenever i try a rom with this it fails. If i use an old boot.img from a superlight hero rom it works fine?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bonesy:
no booting image anymore, ive managed to boot and use magicuni official sense ui with the boot.img from superlight sapphire hero rom but wifi wont work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Zarboz:
take the wlan.ko from /system/lib/modules/ folder in the superlight sapphire hero and place it in your magic uni build in /system/lib/modules/

wifi should work

wlan.ko goes with boot.img to make wifi work

so if you just changed the boot.img in uni build your wifi wont work becuase the wrong wlan.ko is there

if that doesnt make sense ill just repackage the whole thing and put it in update.zip format for you to flash over any rom in order to use it on your phone
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bonesy:
Thanks zarboz Its ok i realised i need the wlan.ko when i was at work so fixed it using their computer :) i wouldnt mind the 107meg ram hack in the dwang donut rom though working for sense on my phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Zarboz:
idk i thnk the only boot.img's floating around for 32b with the ram hack are BFS patched wich are the boot.img's your having an issue with right?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bonesy:
that is correct :( looks like ill just have to use the standard launcher instead of sense and use some widget goodness :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bonesy:
Now using reignzone with the same boot.img as before and rosie does not keep restarting on me no matter what i do!

Hi there!

I've started this project to make an application to track myself when i'm out walking with my lovely touch pro.

Now i would like to make it open source and free for all trekking amateurs, and i'm posting this here to get some advice and to see if someone is interested.

I would like to make a simple and beautiful application, that doesen't drain the battery and that allow to record and repeat trails, store waypoints, integrate some mappings and exchange data with google earth or others apps. It might include some geocaching features and online sharing stuffs as well...

The project is hosted on http://code.google.com/p/trailcompanion/

and i've set up a development blog here: trailcompanion.wordpress.com

I'm not releasing any cabs soon, just some source code to start and see what we can get...

however, if someone would like to be involved just show up here!

Here some screenshots:

*Edit 2009-08-30:

I've posted some updates and sample screenshots on the devel blog:

Seriously, I envy all of you experts here! Would make a mobile life more easy ;-)

I like to try another ROM. I've read the tutorial, which makes flashing sound quite easy, and I've seen quite some custom made ROMs fly by here. Point is, I really don't know which one to try.

Currently I have a BLAC100 device, SPL-1.14 with the default ROM.

I'd like to have a stable ROM with everything up-to-date (a 1.56+ based rom I guess). Well, "everything", I was thinking of drivers and WM6.5 at least.

I've been searching here for more info which could help me decide, but I can't find any more information.

Could someone point me in the right direction? So I can manage for myself further on?

just make sure you follow the tutorials, dummyguides step by step, and you will be alright, my opinion is Xannytechs rom are fast, stable and bugfree :) the only issues there are htc related so to speak. You want as close to stock rom byut still modified, try duttys, you want fancy look? try energys, and miri will always bring the flasher to a happy state of contentment :D its all a matter of what you want and need, some roms you gonna flash away after two hours, while others praise that one from morning til night.

so you have to test, download three four roms, try one out for a day or two, test next, and then you will be hooked for life :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] AyeGee:
I feel that Miri and NRGZ had the best roms earlier, but lately Ive been using Xannytech. Less bugs with Xannytech roms.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] afr33s:
I don't think opinion based threads are allowed on XDA-developers...;)

As hmmhmm1222 says, read well the tutorials and the dummy's guide.

There's a sticky benchmark thread for Blackstone ROMs take a look there to see how ROMs compare.

As for me, I look at the first page of a ROM thread for a description of the ROM and then the last couple of pages to see what issues people are having.

Ask 20 people what's the best ROM and you'll get 15 answers:eek:

Flash a couple and see what suits you.
