I have noticed in all Hero roms that the HTC widgets do not auto refresh in the background.

I usually have to press update a few times to get the widget to update.

A very few occasions the widget has miraculously updated on its own.

Anyone know if there is a current way to improve this?

This Tool for porting SYS part to ErviusKitchen structure.

MANUAL​

You have SYS folder with packets.

1) Put you SYS and Packer.jar to some directory.

2) Run Packer.jar (by double-click).

3) You seen input message "LANG". Input needed language, and click "OK"

For example "0409"

4) You seen input message "DPI". Input needed DPI.

For example "96"

5) As well as before input needed RESH and RESV.

For example "240" and "320"

6) You seen message "DONE.".

Thats all. You have "Build" directory with ErviusKitchen structure SYS.

It is also possible to run programm from command line with arguments.

Parameters is LANG DPI RESH RESV.

For example: "java -jar Packer.jar 0409 96 240 320"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] c_shekhar:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PREMOLIKES:
Do we have to keep common and dpi files all in one folder (SYS)?, what if the dpi files contain both vga and qvga? Can it convert vga to qvga?Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SHAYDER:
NO

My programm filter packs only.

My programm move files from SYS (directory with all packs) to directoryes like this:

Build
├───DPI_96
│ ├───0409
│ └───COMMON
├───DPI_96_RESH_240_RESV_320
│ ├───0409
│ └───COMMON
└───SHARED
├───0409
└───COMMON

My program like this manual: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=533423 (look post #3)

I think it is impossible.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MrDSL:
So far this has worked perfect for me.. It has saved me ALOT of time :D

thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PREMOLIKES:
So then the rar files that Da_G releases must just be extracted, and called it sys and then click your tool? What about file structure that we find in ppcgeeks ,it contains common folder and dpi folder?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SHAYDER:
Yes. You just extract files to "SYS" directory and run my program. Then move directoryes from "Build" directory to you ErviusKitchen.

I dont know. I never used PPCGeeks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MrDSL:
whatever folders it comes with just move all the folders to the folder you created /sys/
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nokser:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] high25:
How do I run this?

When I double click, right click and open, or use the run command to run packer.jar, it just opens up in WinRar.

How do I make it so I can just run it and not open in winrar?

(I check the properties and it says, "Opens with winrar archiver")
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wapvirus:
thanks handy little tool works great on win7 :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wapvirus:

[HD2 General] barty22:
Probably going to buy a HD2 within a few months, and I am wondering whether there is any information available about the support for the hardware compass in any navigation software like iGO8, iGO Amigo, Google Maps (which are my personal favorites).

Google Maps Update:

The new 3.3.1 update for Google Maps (permanent link to most recent Google Maps, at the time of writing 3.3.1) adds hardware compass support for the HD2! When in the 'my location' mode, it will show you the direction you are facing by means of the blue my location dot changing into a blue arrow. You may have to walk and turn around a little bit to somewhat trigger the use of the compass. Note that this doesn't work when 'my location' is off (which makes sense). What makes less sense is that it won't work in combination with GPS either. With GPS, the arrow will still be there but will always face north. Maybe a bug?

I didn't find a way to let Google Maps rotate the map on the screen, depending on the direction you are facing.

I've double checked, and this feature is not available in the stock 3.2.1 (#16) Google Maps on the HD2.

Google Maps Update (13 Dec 2009):

This can work when using GPS as well. In Google Maps, apparently it works when you set your GPS settings to manual.

For example, set your baud rate to 57600 (Options -> GPS Settings -> Set Manually: COM4, Baud 57600).

Get compass navigation support in your GPS navigation software! (28 Dec 2009):

Have been working with Mach2003 to enable support for the compass in potentially *all* GPS navigation software!

Not unless HTC releases SDK for HD2
[HD2 General] Dark Fire:
There are three possibilities:

1. Yes, some apps such as those listed will (perhaps not immediately, but eventually) be able to access the compass.

2. Yes, but the compass is mainly there for WM7 compatibility so until a WM7 upgrade comes, most apps won't be able to access the compass.

3. No, the compass is there just for the HTC Compass app, which would be really pointless and stupid.
[HD2 General] clubtech:
This is something I really don't understand about windows mobile devices.

The OEM's make such powerful phones with excellent hardware but they don't release the SDK to that developers can use these hardware feature and create good apps for the devices.

What's the point then?

I know Samsung recently starting releasing SDK's for their devices, I think HTC should follow if they want to keep people buying their devices.
[HD2 General] kersh:
i think that the compass will be used by some programs like igo and yes, google map, but not much more.

we will see in 2 weeks
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
As far as I know HTC hasn't released SDKs for their current sensors but it doesn't prevent programs from using them they were reverse engineered very quickly.
[HD2 General] kb0n:
Hm, don't know which one I'd prefer =)

I don't think they'd just put a simple compass app on the device and NOT release a SDK just to get people excited for WM7. So I'm pretty sure the compass will be used in some way, either on preinstalled apps or via SDK.
[HD2 General] bym007:
I, for one being a Muslim, would want an application telling directions to Mecca for prayer purposes... This "would" be definitely a big plus for Muslim HD2 adopters. I know some people have similar app on iPhone, but it takes direction from internet and as a result is highly inaccurate ...

[HD2 General] czbird:
can't get the arrow to respond to phone turns when standing still, which I would expect. But the location is incredibly more precise in the new version 3.3.1
[HD2 General] barty22:
On my device the arrow even rotates when I am sitting down and just rotating my phone!
[HD2 General] yngvebn:
Sorry, guys, but it's just the GPS tracking the direction it thinks you're moving.... No Compass-support in Google Maps I'm afraid.

Compass-support would be for instance rotating the map according to the direction the compass is pointing...
[HD2 General] barty22:
You're wrong. It (only) works when GPS is disabled. And it does rotate according to the direction you are facing. It just doesn't rotate the map, but the arrow. It works when you rotate the phone (or when you rotate yourself while you're holding the phone :P) when sitting down/standing still/not using gps...
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
On my Touch Pro2 I get this arrow on Google Maps version 3.2.1, and that phone doesn't even have a compass :) so I think it's safe to say that the arrow is not compass-based. The fact that it doesn't work unless you're moving is also a dead give-away.
[HD2 General] DMAND:
Only works with GPS over here, and doesnt rotate, doesnt look like it supports the compass yet.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I can't get it to work for me. Do I have to enable it somehow, or should it "just work" ?
[HD2 General] bayowar:
It worked indoor for me, without GPS, and very accurately.

I disabled GPS, hit the blue dot in the corner and waited for

a minute before it started.
[HD2 General] kavish:
for me it just works, i tested 3.3.1 also and wifi and gps should both be OFF!..

Then the arrow just moves when you turn your phone!
[HD2 General] Archer:
I don't have an arrow. I've checked, and I have the correct version installed, but no arrow :(
[HD2 General] kavish:
Mmzz i have to admit it doesn't works perfectly..

It's not always visible indeed but what makes it work for me:

- Wifi OFF!

- GPS in GM (google maps) OFF!

- hit the 'my location button' in GM (blue square with dot in it)

- wait for at least 60 seconds

Then my arrow appears.. Does the compass application work on your phone?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yeah, the compass app works fine, but still no luck with google maps. I'll keep trying it and playing with things.

Edit:

I got it working. When I opened the digital compass app it was giving me that figure 8 crap. Once I made sure that that was okay, I restarted google maps and it was fine.
[HD2 General] Lennart88:
Weird.

First I set GPS on, it tracks my location very accurate, and indeed compass is not working.

Now I turned off my GPS, and hit the my location (blue dot) again, and it moved my location to about a kilometer from my home. But the compass was working. Altho I'm like 1200 meters away from the location where he thinks I am!
[HD2 General] ilgaz:
I would think that is normal.

For example you could have your unit in a vertical position stuck onto the windshield, etc. Additionally your phone could be in landscape orientation. There would be a conflict with the direction reading from the compass (due to current orientation of the phone) versus bearing based on your movement reported by GPS. In this case, it is normal that when GPS is turned on, digital compass reading is ignored by phone software.

Also, when GPS is switched off; Google maps estimates your location based on GSM towers nearby, which is not always accurate. That is why there is a kilometer mistake in your pos.
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
It really works ! You can have WIFI on. And you must not wait. You hit 'my location' several times.
[HD2 General] Robrecht:
Cool!

I just installed the latest version and I can confirm that it works. On wifi as well as gprs.

You need to switch gps support off, as stated before. The reason is probably, like Ilgaz suggested, the fact that the direction you're moving in (as reported by gps) may be different from the direction your device is facing (for example, it can be in landscape mode).

It took a while to get it going the first time; I suggest running the compass application in the background, which seemed to help (although once it was working, I could exit the compass app and it was still active in Google Maps).

I'm sitting at my desk, not moving at all, and gps is turned off in Google Maps, so I'm 100% sure it's not getting the information from the gps's direction of movement. The orientation is shown correctly, which ever way I'm facing, although it moves along a little sluggishly.
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
I doubt it will rotate the map any soon. They would have to support OpenGL or something like that. Standard WM can't draw rotated bitmap.

Even with street view they clearly use their own routines to draw the textures. And watch out, it seems they do not multithread it properly and if you keep scrolling in street view, it does not seem to download better resolution in the background at the same time ! Just let it go and wait, it seems to be much faster.

Let's hope they will implement some OpenGL support soon.

Anyway even without it, the compass should work with GPS too, there is no reason why it wouldn't. Let's hope they fix it.
[HD2 General] d3l1:
did installing version 3.3.1 replace the version that came with the HD2 or are there 2 seperate versions of google maps now?
[HD2 General] barty22:
It replaces the older google maps build. There is no reason why you would want to keep the older one, the newer one can do everything the older one can and more. And it supports the walking navigation as well by means of the HTC digital compass app (video).

EDIT: or maybe I am wrong?
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
'Both' seems to be the answer. The icon in start menu starts new version. Also if you created quickling to GM before, it will start the new version. But I found the old version in windows folder later.
[HD2 General] HansZimmer:
it works on my device, too . I had to deactivate gps AND RESET google maps for the first time !! Without reset (just installation) no success. Then I started google maps, menu, options, reset google maps and here we go. the rotation of the arrow is a little bit slow (for the hd2) but it works.
[HD2 General] d3l1:
that's why I'm asking, because the old version is preinstalled in the ROM and we can't uninstall it. So normally there should be 2 versions because the new one can't replace the old one.
[HD2 General] Robrecht:
Can someone check if the compass works in street view as well? I mean, does it follow the way you're facing?

We don't have street view in Belgium yet. I tried the street view for London and it didn't follow my orientation, but maybe it'll work for the location where you really are.
[HD2 General] barty22:
Just tried it and the street view does not use the compass in any way. Personally that's not really what important to me anyway. What I'd like to see though is perhaps a rotate screen option (much easier for navigating with google maps), but more importantly support for compass when using gps. The latter may be coming soon but not only for google maps but for all gps navigation software too. Keep your eyes out ;)
[HD2 General] masi0:
i am little disappointed - i expected more that just an arrow turning around after i got from iphone :) however it is still a good sign that the next google maps will evolve on winmobo on the same way as it it for an apple :cool:
[HD2 General] barty22:
I think this weekend I am going to play a little bit with Google Maps on my sister's iPhone 3GS. I really don't know how it works there. Better than the rotating arrow I assume?
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
IPhone can turn the main map .. double click the 'my location' icon. First tap will move map to your locations, second will rotate the map.

For streetview, there is a trick .. you must drop pinhead or search some point. Only on some marked location you will be able to start streetview. And it does not rotate by compass, AFAIK.
[HD2 General] masi0:
the whole map is rotating accordingly:)
[HD2 General] polystirenman:
mine is not
[HD2 General] Lennart88:
I think they were talking about the map on the iPhone polystirenman ;)
[HD2 General] polystirenman:
oh.sorry.my mistake.
[HD2 General] kersh:
When I read this I was happy, now when I read that doesn't work with street view and doesnt worl either with the gps, another dissapointing and useless move
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
It's not using the compass.....it's basically using movement perceived (real or otherwise) to show the arrow.
[HD2 General] Robrecht:
Kenkiller: how do you think it perceives movement? The accelerometer can't detect movements around a vertical axis. That means when you rotate your device and keep it facing straight up all the time, as you would when reading the map, the accelerometer doesn't notice a thing. It can only sense 'tilt' movements.

And I'm pretty sure the camera isn't involved either.

Besides, how would you explain the fact that it gets your initial orientation right?
[HD2 General] sicknick:
Maybe it is using the compass but who needs that if your location on the map is not based on a GPS position? The whole point is that you know in which direction you are looking from you current position to find out if you need the first or second street or something. Untill they combine these functions (like it should!) its worthless.
[HD2 General] Robrecht:
Yeah, they should fix that. I think the problem is the gps also supplies orientation info when you're moving, and this isn't always the same as the compass info. When you're walking with your device in landscape position, for example: you're moving forward but your phone is oriented to your left.

However, they could simply switch between the two: use the compass when you're stationary, and use the gps direction info when you're moving. That would avoid conflicts without having to turn gps off.

Anyway, as a proof of concept, I think it's great that it works. More features will be coming soon in future updates I'm sure.
[HD2 General] p3ngwin:
that's what it is supposed to do :)

just as you would expect holding a mechanical handheld compass, rotating it in your hand would still have the needle pointing north.
[HD2 General] p3ngwin:
Augmented Reality apps will use the compass to tell what the device's camera is looking at. AR is going to be big business very quickly. in fact a magnetometer (digital compass) was one of the main reasons i went for the HD2 instead of the Nokia N900, as the N900 has none.
[HD2 General] NickT:
I believe Google maps for the iPhone is actually written by Apple themselves using Google APIs. The rotate feature is nice but I don't think you get the other native Google maps features like latitude.
[HD2 General] le_paulo:
Just tried this on the latest Googlemaps and can confirm it DOES work :D

GPS needs to be switched off as turning it on sends you back to GPS tracking mode.

One little tip is to move the phone in the figure 8 motion as suggested by the compass app. If you do this in googlemaps, it can help calibrate the compass and improve bearings.

Now it's not the most accurate compass (compared against my high-end orienteering compass) but at least it'll help give the general direction I'm facing.
[HD2 General] wilbur:
Well - it does "work" on my phone, but i can't say it is any use.

GPS is far more useful for direction information. On Android devices, which have both GPS and compass active at the same time, Google maps only uses the compass when using street view, so you can rotate the view by rotating the phone - sadly this bit isn't yet enabled on the HD2
[HD2 General] barty22:
Updated 1st post, please try to see if Google Maps works with GPS and compass simultaneously.

[HD2 General] pdgpereira:
Nice. Testing... Tests good! It works like a charm.
[HD2 General] Syphon Filter:
I find this comment completely hilarious!!

Surely you can figure out which way is East just by looking at the google maps and your position/orientation relative to your surroundings? I can't see how using a digital compass is that much quicker, unless you happen to have zero sense of direction!!

Of course, none of the above applies if you need very specific (i.e. down to the degree) information and not just "East". Also there's obviously a massive nerdage/geekage factor in using your mobile phones inbuilt digital compass to find your desired heading!! That, even I cannot dispute!
[HD2 General] czbird:
I think that you're wrong - Muslims don't face simply East but a city of Mecca.

They need different azimuth every time based on their current location.
