Having Trouble installing

I have a USA T-Mo HD2 with stock ROM and Co0kies Home Tab.

I'm not very familiar with the Manila term, and I'm fairly new to installing apps via .CABs. Here's what I've done to install this excellent looking app:

First I downloaded the following 3 files to my desktop PC:

B&L Group Manila GPS Tracker Tab_v2.cab

B_L_Group_Manila_GPS_Tracker_Tab_ColorIcon

ColorIcon.rar

Then I copied the first two files to my phone while using an Activesync connection.

Then I tapped on the first file to install it. First I installed it to my Storage Card, but then I installed it to my Device after seeing the post from a few days ago saying that it was necessary to do that.

Then I selected the Soft Reset option at the end of the install.

Next, I tapped on START, then on SETTINGS. Then I selected MENU, then ALL SETTINGS. After that I tapped on the TODAY icon. I then selected the ITEMS tab, and then tapped the SENSE selection box to UNcheck it. At this point nothing in the ITEMS list was selected (checked).

Then I went back to START and tapped on the black and white BLFixStartTab icon. After which I went back to the TODAY screen and turned Sense back on.

I've tried rebooting the phone, and various other combinations.

Now I have no idea what to do next. I'm not sure what all the talk about TABS is about. What's a TAB, if you please?

I looked through the list of other ITEMS in the TODAY screen, but I didn't see anything new, and nothing that has BL or GPS in the name.

I'm sure I'm missing something stupid. I just don't know what it is. Sorry for my ignorance. Thanks for any help.

Dear MoonNah !

...... but how do I get the RADAR icon on the screen ? I did not find any cab on first post, neither in the thread, nor any update-version ..... Please give a hint :D

Hi randysgym !

You have to install the coloured tab-icon too, then You will see it (install first GPS-tracker, restart, run FixStart, restart, install colour-icon CAB ! (not rar), restart and the it works)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MoonNah:
1. download 2 files had to be B_L_Group Manila GPS Tracker Tab_v2.cab,

B_L_Group_Manila_GPS_Tracker_Tab_ColorIcon

2. go to Start-Settings-Today we remove the check mark from Sence

3. set the stage for both the cab and do softreset

4. go to Start-BL_FixStartManila (if you run the cursor blinks and goes off, run again the cursor will spin waiting for a long time means working correctly:)), get out of the Start

5. At the end of BL_FixStartManila Manila will start automatically

6. Go to Start-Settings-Today and check in Sence happen another restart Manila

7. After loading of Manila and you will see a new tab Manila GPS tracker

Hi henk-jan,

yes correct. I have seen this in the very early morning, because the twins haven't slept well the night. 1 1/2 hour sleep for me. And so i had have time. I have seen this by two tests with the gps tracker, but not published. I was now here to do this. Thank you for your help and correction Henk and sorry MoonNah, normally this don't happens..

Yesterday i was very busy with a customer, so the translation was not correct on one point. And now this, arghhhh. I hate that when this happens, my own mistake :D:D:D. Good to see that there are more people who reads really ..... goed gedaan en bedankt Henk.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fast_zorro:
First: also thx MoonNah for this app !

One question:

I use the screensaver function from sbpTime.

Does anybody know, which file I had to choice for entry into the list, in which programms are stored to prevent the saver (like TomTomNavigator.exe or wmplayer.exe) ?

I tried all files coming with this cab, but no one works. Maybe that there is no chance, because of working inside htc sense no additional programm running ?

(Ok, could switch off saver in spbTime before using Tracker or use a script, but this is what I can do at least...:rolleyes:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] meltwater:
Tom tom uses the same two options, north fixed to up or direction of travel fixed to up. Usually I don't need Tom Tom on a train to tell me which way to turn...;) I suppose an option to select direction of travel/direction of north, up/down/left/right could be added without too much of an issue. For now, turn your phone upside-down for those times when you are going backwards :D

Yep miles option would be nice for UK and US etc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] henk-jan:
record tracks

I love this program: many thanks to MoonNah! I have one problem I can't fix: how to (record and) write down the tracks? I've a Dutch OS and storage card is called opslagkaart. Does that matter?

What I do is : 1. enable GPS and the record buttun is red. I can see in the corner left down record/... no difference when GPS is on or of and record is on or off. After the trip I thouch record/... and the record button dissappears In the yandexmaps nor in the submaps are any tracks located except the ones after installation of the program.

What to do? Any help would be very appreciated.

Tradución Español

Good afternoon, first sorry for my English, I am using a translator.

The first thing to thank for this wonderful program.

I contribute my bit to put the translation in Spanish "es_es"

You know how it works, remove the. Txt to the file, replace the Windows folder and select language "es-es"

Greetings.

All I can say MoonNah is WOW, and Thank You. Excellent work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kwasmir:
and same here .... except that my ROM is danish and my Storegacard is named Lagerkort.

MoonNah - is this the reason why some of us cant save tracks even though we have created /yandexmaps/waypoints on the storeagecard?

Kindly

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnny5rlx:
i just wanted you all to know it fails miserably on my HD2 (most recent official rom installed). installing was pretty ok, but the tab displayed texts were what a programmer would use for internationalisation (so i guess translation failed and therefor unreadable)

no GPS device was detected i guess, no sattelites were displayed where i'd expect them from watching the screenshots.

after all this fail i decided to uninstall... then manilla wouldn't start up. so i installed it again so it would start up and disabled the tab.... at least my phone still works this way!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MoonNah:
Here on this post even do not want to answer, because in the first post clearly itemized how to install and how to uninstall the program, and your unwillingness to read leads to the loss of my time. :mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnny5rlx:
that's my point... i read the first post, i followed the steps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] meltwater:
Have you checked your language is supported/created your own language file? Title will still be incorrect the 1st time it run (after that it is fine).

Have you turned on the gps, are you outside where it can detect satellites and waited long enough?

The B_L_Group_FixStartManila_2.5.cab should fix sense (1st post) after un-install if issues - unless you have odd tabs.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnny5rlx:
thank you.

that about the language file i did not do. it's not in the installation steps. i did find something amongst the list of features that could help me with this.

PS: language file works now.

i'm not sure how to enable GPS. i never had to enable the gps. it just works in apps like google maps, open mobile maps, tomtom, compass.... compass does not respond either. i had a look in the options and pressed just about anywhere on the screen. no visible indication of these functions enabling.

did not try going outside though. that will come at the end of my workday.

edit: oh it occurred to me the compass works on current and previous position, so obviously it does not work without GPS
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] meltwater:
Getting there then.

The switch on the top left turns the gps on, but you must be in view of sats before you will see anything on the GPS dial - unless you have a very thin roof you will not see anything inside. Everything else (except the yewl/roll view - manual machine gun sound effects are optional for this view) is generated from GPS data, for reasons given previously. A user guide would be useful but the function is great when you've worked it out.

Hi

I've followed the instructions, but it doesn't create the tab on the latest Energy rom... Anyway knows why?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] SquithyX:
?What I done wrong

First off MoonNah, great great idea and so far as good. Love what you have done!!

Now on to the problem I have:

All the menus are in Russian - and my Russian is not very good lol. I have seen from the screenshots up that the menu system is in English.

What I have done so far:

Have Generic / Stock 1.66 WWE (UK) firmware with C00kies Home Tab

Followed your install instructions, tried to load the setting menu and it errored with "no 385f4c05_manila found" message.

Created a 385f4c05_manila file in windows dir, then got errors about scripting faults in line 60, part 15

Re-created the 385... file with a different symbol for line 60, part 15 and got the error again though this time line 63, part 18. Looking through it was the same symbol as line 60, part 15 so again changed that too.

Re-created the 385... file and the setting menu works, however all the menus are in Russian.

Any help or advice would be welcome!!!

thanks for a Great Tab and keep up the good work.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] meltwater:
It works on my older NRG install, but I'm not on the latest yet. Need more info to help though.

What is the install issue? Have you run the B_L_Group_FixStartManila_2.5.cab from the 1st post?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] deb10042:
I installed the GPS Tracker on my HD2 Leo but there are one bigger and some minor issues with it:

- it doesn't show the right speed; I compared it to two other GPS supported speed displays: IGO8 and Kai's GPS Tacho. Compared to those two apps, the Manila GPS Tracker always shows speed about 7 km/h too fast

- accuracy of the speed display doesn't seem to be stable enough, because the GPS Tracker shows me a permanently unsteady speed, even while using my cruise control (permanently fixed at the same speed)

- if I chose a speed limit of 100 km/h or above, the numbers don't fit into the little traffic sign-symbol

Could you fix these things, especially the display of a too fast speed?

Thanks for this great app!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] matthieup:
hi,

thanks for the reply.

Yes, I installed B&L Group Manila GPS Tracker Tab_v2.cab, then B_L_Group_Manila_GPS_Tracker_Tab_ColorIcon.cab and finally B_L_Group_FixStartManila_2.5.cab.

I did it with and without sense enabled. Anyway after reboot and enable/disable sense I do not have a new tab
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MoonNah:
and after the installation B_L_Group_FixStartManila_2.5.cab., you run the application from the Start menu FixStartManila

Will this app work for manila 6.5(no big rectangular icons on bottom)? If not is it planned to be compatible with 6.5 manila?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mregls:
Very pleased

This is a good time for a first post.

Have HD2, European version, and the install went perfect (installed to storage card). Put my device out of the window and within 5 second acquired the satellites and tested. It works very nice.

I must admit though that the instructions are a little confusing, but reading through all comments and taking step by step if paid off.

Anyway, my thanks to the developer who I am sure put lots of time and effort into it. Well done and thank you.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troed:
Hi MoonNah !

Still love Your app, runs everyday in my car and in my ultralight-aircraft

Posted before about unsteady heading in compass, now wonderingly it is more steady (variations only 3-5 degrees per 10 seconds).

Speed-ind. shows 5-6 km/h more than real speed. Any possibilty to calibrate exactly ?

Although we have no right to wish anything from You I still post my wishlist:

1. Automatic turn on of GPS when Your App-Slider-Tab is selected (would spare also some space on the screen). Makes no sense to use Your app w/o GPS

2. less "nervous" indicators (maybe longer polling speed or a "damper" ?)

3. Still can´t find cab for radar-warning integration

4. Integration of Google maps instead of Yandex and a possibility to download and store google maps tiles permanently for offline use worldwide (would spare roaming fees abroad and avoid using OSM, which I do not like)

If this could be realized You would beat any other Navi-Software by length.

Question about TAB...

Hi MoonNah,

first off all thanks for the nice application.

I have a question regarding the TAB that you created for the GPS application.

Is it possible to describe (in small steps for newbies) how we can add additional TAB's at our slider for example to add a TAB for SPB Weather or for any other application?

I tryed to use the MTP found in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=616415

but no luck!!! :(

Thanks again

Fix Start Manilla

Make sure that you follow the instruction to turn off sense in the today screen, then run Fix start Manilla, then go to today screen again and check sense and restart HC....I did a soft reset to get all turned back on. All worked well after that. The only thing that I found is that you want to be outside when you start tracking to get a good response from satellites and then make sure that you are calibration is set. and compass is working before running The GPS Tracker.

Good Luck!

Its a great app.

Another vote for the speed problem, also on a HD2 Leo.

GPS Tracker indicated 111Kph, versus Garmin Nuvi, Oziexplorer, and HTC compass app at 103.

Not sure about other speeds, but I've got a drive on tommorrow, so will compare at a few different speeds.

Otherwise, this is a fantastic program. The graphics are excellent, and seems to integrate, and run well on the HD2.

Hope the recovery is going well, I feel for you.:eek:

and you rate as the checks, you have shows the speed with shift on the time period for determining the value of the ephemeris, if the settings is 5 seconds, the screen you see the speed is not that which is now a 5 seconds ago, if I was going at a constant speed in my car odometer and speed at the same tracker
