No Problem

Glad to help, I have to share what I have found, tweaks, etc. I've done alot of reading, and some of it is trial and error, looking at how other programs perform etc.
[HD2 General] igord77:
It says: "Follow the directions at the link above to change the icon.", but there's no link???
[HD2 General] cdguider:
above

I meant follow the directions above.

Is it free

Hello i have been looking free nav softwares and i run in to this.

Is this really free? some places the say its free but you need some key gen generator or something.

So whats the real answer and if it is really free where and how do i install it because i have been searching some installation quides but there is no good one.
[HD2 General] cdguider:
Not Free

Garmin Mobile XT is not free. If you are looking for a free GPS Software, you might want to get Google Maps or Bing Maps. Using a keygen to crack software is illegal.
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
This is a helpful cab that allows you to view your Garmin xt program in landscape. You have to already have Garmin xt in the phone. And it also has a better icon to replace it with. Oh, the xda is not for windows only android.
[HD2 General] rangitoto:
You guys are good. Worked very well. Cheers
[HD2 General] cdguider:
Awsome

When I first trie to change the icon I used Icon Changer Tool floating around XDA, I figured their had to be something easier looking at some of the other Programs and Icon entries in the registry, I figure I would give it a shot and it worked. When I tried to package the registry entry I ran into problems. This is why we manually add the "Icon" registry key.

Working good if you make the procedure step by step as the guide.

Thanks A+
[HD2 General] deividox:
Hello all, I have a problem, there is no such registry on my HD2 :(/

Sorry for my english.

Hi,

This sounds great, but may I know if it works on HD Mini?

Thanks
[HD2 General] IT_Architect:
That's absolutely perfect! I'm looking for something for my Touch Pro 2 that I can navigate and drive with for my Touch Pro 2. I haven't found much else. If you know of any others with half-way current maps, et me know.

That's got my attention. How do you get the latest maps?

This is a gold mine. Any advice you can give me, I'm all ears.

Thanks!

i know this is a little old.. but all i did to get rotation was use bsb tweaks

i used the rotate option and started garmin, shook the hd2, and it added it to the list...

restarted and it auto rotated..

easy as hell..
[HD2 General] Ev0luti0n_:
going to do it as well! thanks for the heads up since i have both installed!
[HD2 General] m_tello77:
Thanks , it worked fine
[HD2 General] hendrajr:
Working !!

It's working !!! Thank you !!!
[HD2 General] radurus:
automatic rotation

it's working for me too.

of course... if the phone is rotated in landscape with some programs, Garmin will start in landscape.

... and we talk here about instant autorotation.

Happy New Year!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentSummer:
Where are all the default wallpapers located at?

I currently cleared out /system/customize/resource of all the wallpaper.

Are they located somewhere else as well? The reason I ask is that I use a wallpaper rotator app pointing to /sdcard/wallpapers, but the default color bubble HTC wallpaper keeps cycling through (it's really bugging me).

Hi,

This is a shot in the dark but I'm looking for this software and wonder if anybody has a cab they could post or email me?

http://pocketnow.com/review/aol-2055-for-pocket-pc-2003

This is AOL version 2.0.55 and not AIM for Pocket PC 2.0.17.

Thank you in advance to everyone!

Giovanni
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] longsolong:
Just to give everyone an update. I was able to get the software and have been using if for a week now. If you have an AOL email account, it's a great piece of software to have.

[Droid Incredible General] veli69:
I want to try compiling my own kernel for 2.2. Where can I find the source code?
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
For the incredible its not out yet i dont think. I could be wrong though.
[Droid Incredible General] overground:
Warning!

Please start threads asking questions in General sub-forum. Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] ghostrida:
when its available it will be here http://developer.htc.com/

otherwise go here for android source http://android.git.kernel.org/
[Droid Incredible General] veli69:
I will try git
[Droid Incredible General] rpearl:
It's not there. And they won't release it.

Since when was HTC obligated to release kernel source if they didn't release the binary?
[Droid Incredible General] veli69:
Well regardless I want to try making kernels how do you know the version of the kernel you downloaded ?
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
You don't understand. The aosp kernel source does not contain board support for the Dinc.
[Desire Themes and Apps] shokouhi:
I really like the taskbar in the Shadow Frost rom version 1.4. However I really want it on sense roms. I need the black taskbar with the blue battery and other blue icons. Can someone point me in the direction of where to find a flashable zip for this taskbar.

Shokouhi
[Desire Themes and Apps] nikosrs4:
when you download the rom you want, just open it with winrar, don't extract it. then go to /system/framework/framework-res.apk file and open it with winrar. DON'T close any of the zips you opened.

then open shadowfrost 1.4 and go again to /system/framework/framework-res.apk file, open it with winrar again.

now drag and drop the files from framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi-v4\ folder from shadowfrost into framework-res.apk from the rom you want to flash. this way you'll replace all files.

take a look first at the file statusbar_background.png to have the same name and not statusbar_background.9.png.

now close all zips/apks, it will ask to update the files, click yes and flash your rom :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] shokouhi:
I tried doing this to Jason .22 blur rom and after doing this it will not boot so I must flash a different rom. The files must be incompatible. I would just like his taskbar in a zip do you know how to do this?
[Vibrant General] boimarc89:
Would it possible if the FM Radio app from the int galaxy s was ported to the vibrant? Is there issues with the Vibrant's radio that make it incompatible? I see it as replacing a factory radio in a car with an aftermarket one with more features but does the same thing
[Vibrant General] Minker17:
There is already a thread on this somewhere here. I believe the consensus was that the Vibrant doesn't have the hardware for the FM radio.
[Vibrant General] boimarc89:
ok my mistake
[Vibrant General] psyko-m1:
Was that completely confirmed that the hardware is absent from the unit?

I know the camera is, but perhaps this was something that could have not been left out of the PCB footprint/components???

Just playing devil's advocate. :D:D:D
[Vibrant General] kingkurry:
Im pretty sure that it has already been confirmed that the Vibrant does have the FM reciever AND the FM transmitter hardware.
[Vibrant General] boodies:
well one of you guys are wrong. which one
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
lol, seriously

I love how they both have that authoritative tone.

LOL
[Vibrant General] sxfx:
If from what everyone is saying around the net. That the GPS chip that's in the samsung vibrant, is the broadcom Incontrol 20751. Then not only it has a FM receiver, but there's also a FM transmitter there as well.
[Vibrant General] boodies:
so in plain english, whats an advantage of having an FM transmitter. i can start my own late night talk show or something?
[Vibrant General] sxfx:
Well with a transmitter you can transmit your GPS voice, or phone call to your cars radio through fm.
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
The way it's been working for me it should be named the Broadcom outtacontrol...
[Vibrant General] setzer715:
Just pushed the i9000 fm radio app to my vibrant, it doesnt work. Keeps saying to turn on fm radio and ear phones are not plugged in. If we have the hardware, it would be a good assumption we would need drivers loaded in the kernal for it to work.
[Vibrant General] CharonIDRONES:
Unfortunately you are correct, do not expect this to work automagically. Just as the N1 has a FM radio that is no enabled, has to be made to work. FM transmitter is awesome tho'! Great when the devs get it goin'.
[Vibrant General] Minker17:
I can see how saying "i believe" would seem authoritative...
[Vibrant General] bahnburner:
I've pushed the app and libs, and got nothing. It's going to be a kernal issue at this point. Once we have a custom kernal with the fm radio module enabled, we'll golden.
[Vibrant General] boodies:
earphones need to plugged in because they work as antennas.
[Vibrant General] setzer715:
LOL, sorry, forgot to mention it kept telling me to plug in my headphone when they were already plugged in.
[Vibrant General] shaneaus:
I have a Captivate and have also pushed the FMRadio.apk to the device.

EVerything runs great - except when one tries to play a station - then an error is received: "Unable to turn on FM Radio"

I have spoken to a dev or two and they are not convinced that the hardware is the same on our devices. It appears from this post:

http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7057871&postcount=18

Edit: The person who made the above post works for Broadcom so this chip: InCrystal 20751 should be the same as the BroadCom20751. And, it is in (at least) the I9000's.

Anyway, the nomenclature on the I9000 is: SWB-B23 which is just the print on the protective metal cover.

Bottom line: First - we need to definitively know that the same GPS/FM/BT chip is in the US variants as is in the I9000. *Anyone willing to pull apart their device to see what the cover says If it has the same nomenclature then we'll know. Secondly, until we can get the Captivate's (or, Vibrant's for the T-Mobile users) kernel so we can look around inside and modify it (ie: add the drivers from the I9000 kernel) - we probably won't get the radio working. This is because currently everyone is having to use the Captivate/Vibrant specific kernels to have a working phone one their carrier.

Yes, some are using the new froyo release made for the I9000 on the Captivate/Vibrants - however, they are flashing the Captivate/Vibrant kernels on afterwards - that is why they are not seeing the same performance increase as the I9000 counterparts - and, since many of the drivers are included in the KERNEL that is my suspicion as to why they also don't have a working FM Radio.

The only possible solution I have heard of is "cross-flashing" the kernels - whatever that is... Or, trying to find a way to add in the drivers after the device has been flashed and is working...

Wish I knew how to pull apart the binary kernel/boot.img and put it back together. But, it seems Koush made a post on another thread that the Captivate kernel isn't unpacking without corruption. I'll try to find his post and update this later today.
[Vibrant General] psyko-m1:
This is all exciting news.

I was pretty sure that the chip in the PCB footprint should be the Broadcomm with FM TX/RX capability.

/me crosses fingers for a Vibrant "PIRATE_RADIO.APK" :D
[Vibrant General] angryPirate12:
if you dial in the service menu *#*#197328640#*#*

then go to:

[6] Common

[7] Factory Test

option [8] FM Radio - only one thing is listed and it reads

"Current Command is 6788"

it's built into the kernel so the ability is there, just a matter of finding whats missing between the i9000 and t959 roms
[Vibrant General] kingkurry:
I also heard that the FM radio in Eugene's froyo port generates static. Is it possible to go somewhere from there? I'm pretty sure that Asia and Europe use even numbered FM bands rather than the odd ones used here so modifying the FM radio apk. To tune to odd bands would get it to work right?
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
that's true, but depending on the radio software, that doesn't really matter. Not sure about what Sammy has, but I've had old phones with radios (SonyEricsson comes to mind) that simply scanned evens and odds, so the device/software could be used around the world.
[Vibrant General] raduque:
I think it's so hilarious that you guys are working SO HARD to get such a trivial feature working, when the RIAA is trying to pass a law to force FM recievers to be placed in ALL mobile phones.

Just strikes me as a bit funny, is all.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
it would be sweet if we could get a FFC on the TMOUS vibrant.

Someone should create a thread on that!
[Vibrant General] kingkurry:
Do you honestly think that a law like that will be passed in the recent future, if at all? If you have nothing useful to say, then dont say anything.

Anyway, we are so close! If a dev would just spend some time on this, i would really pour on the donations :D
[Vibrant General] rjwisniewski:
One man's trash is another man's treasure. I find it funny that some of the most piece of crap phones we sell in my store come with FM receivers, but they took it out of our Vibrants. I for one love that feature in my phones. There's a reason we label smartphones an "all-in-one" device. Not a "Crippled-as-the-carrier-pleases" device.
[Vibrant General] g1ftmfw:
Any luck or progress fellas?
[Vibrant General] rothariger:
i want the radio function! :'(
[Vibrant General] engineer14:
i like how you consider fm radio to be so trivial. fm radio, gives you traffic, weather, music(fresh and new, not the stale stuff you put on your phone), comedy and much more. The rds feature is used by some gps software to navigate around traffic. if you have a bluetooth radio, even better, you can listen to radio, and have it automatically mute when you receive a call. Pandora matches radio, sure but pandora uses data, and i believe 3g is needed to stream.

Take all of this and tell me that fm is trivial. to me FM is even better than the normal music player.
[Vibrant General] fearmonkey:
The FMradio app has a setting for europe or USA bands. Didnt know why, but I suppose that's why.

Seems very little progress has been made. Jr33 supposedly found some FM stuff when enabling the mobileAP, but I see the same FM messages with a stock vibrant. <shrug>. Been playing around a bit in my spare time, nothing groundbreaking. At least i can reboot the phone now from INSIDE the radio app by trying to turn on the radio instead of having to use si4709_test..if you want call that progress. Running out of ideas though.

WIsh I had a gs to look at side by side.
[Vibrant General] AquaeAtrae:
Regardless of how useful such a feature might be, it's great to see all this active tinkering.

Has anyone tried contacting Varun Mahajan, the Samsung developer who apparently wrote/tweaked the Kernal module for the FM Radio found in the Vibrant source code? I wouldn't suggest we all flood him with emails, but perhaps one of the developers here who's intimately familiar with the ported radio app could contact him. If were not asking too much of him, perhaps he could simply point us in the right direction.

I won't post his email; he doesn't need the spam. Instead, I'll direct any serious developers to where I spotted it in the Vibrant code on the Samsung Open Source Release Center

SGH-T959_OpenSource.tar.gz\Kernel.tar\modules\fm_si4709\Si4709_main.c [at the very end]

Mind you, we shouldn't assume he'll have time to help us or even respond. He might be busy working on Froyo or some other device entirely. But it's worth a shot.

Note: just because the Vibrant's open source code includes a module supporting the FM radio, doesn't necessarily imply the hardware is ready for it. The same collection code also references the camera flash among other things.
[Vibrant General] kingkurry:
Can a mod move this back to the development section? Now that there has been some progress we should have some real devs work on this.
[Vibrant General] jackhuny:
sorry lost my patient after the 10th page.

Is there a conclusion on the possibility of FM?
[Vibrant General] kingkurry:
until a mod moves this thread to the developement section, we wont get any results.

Heres my 2 cents. The 2.2 ROM eugene ported to the vibrant seems to have a semi working FM radio that produces static, meaning that the radio is turning on. But maybe were overlooking something simple. Maybe it only tunes to the even channels(The ones used in Asia) rather than the odd channels, used here. Modifying the .apk to tune to odd channels would be fairly simple right?
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
I'm pretty sure devs know about the possibility of the radio...

Most devs don't look throughout the dev sections looking to see what y'all want them to work on next...
[Vibrant General] fearmonkey:
For the hell of it, I flashed the 2.2 rom. I didn't hear any static or anything for that matter. BUT, the headphones dont work (thinks headphones are plugged in when they are not and vice versa) so I suppose that could be part of it?

As for the even/odd channels, there is a Region setting in preferences (USA,Europe and Japan IIRC). Doesn't matter what it's set to, no sound. si4709_test still does not register power state, rds, rssi, etc. SO, unless "they" did something else to get the radio to turn on and produce static, still a no-go.

Can't recompile the kernel/driver to add additional debugging either yet.
[Vibrant General] rothariger:
any news about this???
[Vibrant General] engineer14:
nice work people, keep it up
[Vibrant General] afortunatov:
Ok. I have disassembled my captivate.

First of all I'd like to confirm it uses BCM4751. There was a hypothesis that such different GPS performance of different devices is due to Samsung used different chips. Chip used in my Captivate has the following marking BCM4751IUB2G UD1021 P11 973510 SN. In my case GPS works well with fw JF7 and default GPS settings.

Now about SI4709... According to specs (silabs.com/products/audiovideo/fmreceivers/Pages/Si470809.aspx) chip should be 2.5mm*2.5mm with rather characteristic pin arrangement. I do see such chip on the board, near BCM4751. But its package has the following marking: PACAB (first line) N4 (on the second line). And of course it has laser dot mark denoting the first pin.

, where did you find what labels SI4709 has?

Any ideas to check before I assemble my captivate back?
[Vibrant General] afortunatov:
Did you try to change the address where driver expects SI4709? fearmonkey found that i2c-12 0x2e doesn't have a driver attached.
[Vibrant General] fearmonkey:
Found it in the detailed specs for the chip on its data sheet. Downloaded from some .cn website a month or so ago.
[Vibrant General] afortunatov:
I didn't find "long" version of datasheet. Could you post the link?

If it was the only possible design of chip package... I didn't see SI4709 chip in my Captivate...:(

,

have you found anything?
[Vibrant General] afortunatov:
Ok. I found it too. PDF is unavailable, but google cache still has it.

So chip I found is NOT SI4709 and I didn't see any chip that resembles SI4709.

That's no good:(
[Vibrant General] Alex530:
I take it this is dead?
[Vibrant General] fooldog01:
I hope not
[Vibrant General] djf8:
So has it been discovered if this is possible or not? Or has this development stopped with all the leaked Rom maddness we have going on for the Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] kronos82:
It seams that all threads on this issue have came to the same conclusion, which is no one knows.........basically every thread boils down to not know if the chip set contains the radio or not, the latest

RUMOR

I have read about this issue is that it might be activated in the 2.2 update, but again I read it on a post and I don't remember where or how true it is
[Vibrant General] 24861:
Was just reading the 2.2 Froyo source code Samsung just let fly earlier and looks like the fm module is part of it! :D

"drivers/samsung/fm_si4709/Si4709_driver.ko"
[Vibrant General] j_r0dd:
Of course it is! the i9000 is the phone that has this working and always had. That kernel module has been on our phone since we bought it btw
[Vibrant General] VibrantOwnr:
So is there anyway we can use the driver to modify the current stock ji6 to activate the radio. Or use the i9000 radio app?
[Vibrant General] fearmonkey:
Wish it were that easy (or this easy.) I'm resigned to the fact that the si4709 was either left out (maybe its on the removable silicon in the phone, so not as difficult to leave it out) or just disabled in the bootloader. Heck, I haven't even seen confirmation that the si4709 is on the i9000.

I can only think of a hack ala Nexus One radio - modify the bcm4329 driver (called dhd.ko) to use the fm radio built into that. No idea if its hooked up to the antenna though, so it might not get very far or be very good. I still havent seen the sources for the N1 radio though, so dunno how they did it. I've got intersectRaven's kernel, but the changes dont appear to be in there..some secret tree until he has time to "clean it up".

i9000 radio app already "works". If you load eugene's froyo that doesn't brick or uncomment a line in the vibrant kernel code, you will hear..well, not static, but a definite audio wave of sorts.
[Vibrant General] VibrantOwnr:
Thanks.Do you know where I can find the i9000 radio app? I cant seem to find it anywhere. Just to see what I can do.
[Vibrant General] fearmonkey:
Have at it: http://www.mediafire.com/?hac7c6kzbpfcvzq. deodex and signed.
[Vibrant General] VibrantOwnr:
If I press the play burton it says unable to turn on the radio, though if I press it a second time it does not give me that message. I don't have a pair of head phones at the moment, though could this mean that possibly it is activating the radio?
[Vibrant General] fearmonkey:
Not necessarily. Try other functions: scanning, etc. See any RDS data? Get a logcat too and you'll see where it complains about not being able to turn the radio on.
[Vibrant General] VibrantOwnr:
No luck on scanning, and rds data.
[Vibrant General] VibrantOwnr:
You mentioned something about changing a line in the vibrant kernel code earlier. What exactly was that?
[Vibrant General] VibrantOwnr:
I don't mean to flood this thread but just had a few questions. I just noticed that when I hit the scan button the static is disrupted. Could this mean any thing?
[Vibrant General] fearmonkey:
Don't remember the exact line. Somewhere in wm8994_aries.c, IIRC Or grep the whole source for "FM Radio" and you will eventually come across a line that is commented in vibrant code, but not i9000.

No idea what the break in the noise means.
[Vibrant General] klokom:
...

now when we got froyo is there any chance to get this to work?
[Vibrant General] kronos82:
as much chance as if froyo didn't exists. it all boils down to if any of the chips in the phone contain a fm receiver, which no one can confirm or deny this so hopefully some blessed programmer will stumble onto the code.......god speed programmers god speed
[Vibrant General] engineer14:
froyo is here!!!
[Vibrant General] caldran:
confused

I dont understand why there are 2 radio receivers:confused:.

Has anyone tried FM TwoO app.
[Vibrant General] paulodeleo:
Just tried FM TwoO app and it opens, but can't tune any stations.

The same happends with the fm radio app left in Gingerbread Blitzkrieg ROM. :(
[Vibrant General] caldran:
two FM receivers

I think from reading the spec the radio IC consumes less power compared the broadcom chip. The FM chip might be absent in the vibrant and also have to think of antenna connection. :confused:

Does anyone has schematic for vibrant. :(
