Do we know if we can change the app to work with TomTom7?

What's the point in using it at all?

Cheers for the original post, I'm waiting for my HD2 to arrive.
This navigation screen u are refering too, what is it and what nav software are u using?

This app is built in for the car kit you have to buy just for the HD2.
Dunno why, mayb so people buy extra stuff from HTC.
Think it should be posible to change the app, but havn't tried yet.

cheers, so its hidden unless you attach the car kit?

not anymore

So how are you getting on with it after using it for a few days? Everything you hoped it woudl be or has it fallen short of expectations?

Yo Xmoo,
Thanks for ur hd! And this app works perfectly with copilot, working out to get it working with tomtom7.
Should work though, since the navipanelehtml file says it works with your navigation software.

Well you cannot costumize it fully.
This wm build has some crappy things....
Mem Leak (Not a big problem with huge RAM)
Start menu (Only Move on top)
Start button is hard to reach by one hand. (Latest build has it below)
Extra battery (Some in rom tweaks for better bat)
Speed (Latest build gives some extra speed, extra is always better)

Do you know where the memory leak is coming from? Usually Opera and Internet Explorer are the main causes of memory leak on WM devices but without using it I wouldnt know. I always use Advanced Config Tool to tighten things up as much as I can I dont know if that will be of any use but its worth having a look at the options.
I never did like WM6.5 but I guess its something I will have to get to grips with. I use QuickMenu at the moment with my kaiser but that will be absolutely no use with no stylus and no d-pad. Im also going to have to get used to Resco Explorer in the finger friendly mode

What makes you say that? Browsers consume a lot of memory, but that doesn't necessarily constitute a memory leak.

LEt's stay on topic guys.
Mem leaks are everywhere.
Just need a good build, that can handle them.

Did someone test it or get it working with iGO8? (Navi Panel)

So you want to hide your system tray?

Why? Because it useless and it ocupies a line of space that could be used by a today plugin!!!
TrayDisplay is what you need!!! Built with ATL C++, it comes in two files:
HideTray: that makes tour system tray invisible;
DisplayTray: that makes tour system tray visible!!
It makes a shortcut on your \Windows\StartUp folder so that everytime you reset your PPC, it will hide the tray!
When the file is run, it makes it's job and then end's so that it doesn't stay in memory.
This file is not a patch, but an application!
Only tested with Windows Mobile 2005, don't know if will work with WM2003...
OK,
nice idea but doesn't work on W2003 SE, at least not on mine. Also no effect after soft-reset.

I doesn't work on my 2003se device (Imate jam) either

I know I've seen another tool for hiding top-&bottom bars somewhere on the web. Cannot remember where, but it had to do with 'xx% larger screen'. As I don't mind having the bars I didn't pay much attention to it. I specially like the top bar with date/time & spb gprs icon. But taste is personally. So you'll have to search yourself when you really want this.

That's not entirely true anymore... Naturally the more you "fill" in, the more memory you lose, but it's def. not the program itself...But if you look at what you actually get here, the little memory you lose is a very small price to pay... ( I have like 16 different pages running, with dock and icons, plug-ins and text-objects, and the memory loss I can measure is app. 6 mb ) In my book that's nothing compared to what this program has to offer, my magician is almost stylus-free, and that's really neat when I'm in my car etc...

Now we wait........................
.....................For a cracked version. :wink:
I wonder what the upgrade price wil be.....
I doubt it will be cheap.. Upgrade price from navigator 4 to Navigator 5 was almost as much as buying all over again. So I went from my legit Nav4 to 'Ahem' liberated Navigator 5

do you have any issues with Iguidance V3 on the wizard? i am currently using v2, i went and uninstalled then installed v3 and loaded new maps, however it will only work in landscape mode, if i close the keyboard to run this in portrait mode then it shuts down. Same thing if i just try to run it after a reboot in portrait mode...
This thread is about TomTom v6 not about iguidance or any other navigationsoftware, let's keep this thread alive for Tommy
No need for extra post regarding other software, there will be alot of posts coming to us for the next few day's, weeks or even months 8)

Jah, but the .rar file contains 1x .exe file, not the folders.
The storage folders are in the t6.rar file, not the tt6.rar file.

has anyone got this downloaded yet? Tried it?
If so can they PM me please.

Audio recognition 100% WORKING NOW WITH TOUCH SCREEN ENABLED

Hi guys i know that iphone has a application on their phone called Audio recognition.
The way this works is that if you hear a song you like, you select a particular software in the iphone and what it does is that it records the first 5 seconds of the song and it sends that sample to some database and then reports back to you with the name of the song and who sings it, now i know i have been in a situation where i have heard a song and liked it but cant remember or know the name of it.
Is their away to implement this into a HTC diamond, like has someone tried making this happen?
Paul
SEE POST 8 FOR NEW VERSION OF MUSIC ID
hahaha, funny I just came across that when my friend was demonstrating his iPhone... would love to know if there's a similar WM app...
i have installed what u mentioned and it worked thanks mate.
Hopefully someone will make one to work properly on the windows mobile operating system, anyone know where i can get this from as the one mentioned above works but isnt 100% visible on the screen
Also using MusicID, and when I demoed it a year ago to my friends they were astonished. I also find it better than iPhone app. MusicID needs VGA support, which it lacks as of now, so it fits better our Diamond phones.
surely it cant be that hard to create, like if people on here can create custom ROM's then surely someone can have a crack at this? we got any takers?
come on guys, their has to be someone out there that can do this, can anyone help plleeeeeaaase
Finaly i got it!! Fully working on the Diamond!
thank you so so much, i have been waitin for this for so long now. just tested it and works great, u see all the buttons and it is touch screen enabled too
work fine thanks man
but it's a trial version????
sorry but who makes this software? do they have a web site?
is this "fixed" version something hacked to work by you or the company released a new version?
sorry I am confused

thank you so much.
this is awsome, works like a charm, thanks for that, but i have another idea if anyone can make it possible i would like to have another feature in this application. it would be great if the app can make a tag from the radio and record a sample without checking the ID, later time you can check ID when you are conected to wifi or activesync, this could save some money on data connection. but it is only my sugestion, thanks anyway.

the screen alignment is done automaticaly by this app... so you dont have to do it manualy
I checked the registry to compare the defaults in the CAB with what I already had.
The CAB had
485,500 785,175 785,825 185,820 188,175
my TP has
485,514 785,835 785,200 193,200 193,835
Now how perfect mine are, I don't know, but I tried to be as perfect as possible. Even tried multiple times until I was happy I hit the center of the cross 5 times in a row.
I installed the .CAB on my Diamond and it inverted the screen taps; everything on the screen appears fine but the tap responses were inverted, I think its a glitch...Just reporting, hope it gets fixed.
I'm not getting how this works... I mean, copied on my Diamond, installed (tried both in Internal Storage and Phone Memory), I get a setup icon in the program menu which, tapped, leads me to another autoalign installation, and so on. Cycle.
What am I missing? Any help? Would really like to try this software and see if it improves my touch experience (not a reference to some mythical UI for WM... ).

Try aligning your screen by hand and mess it up on purpose. Then try it with autoalign and see the difference.
P.S TouchXperience IS NOT some mythical UI! Just watch. It'll be released on Feb 1st.

Didn't really mean to upset anyone! It's just that I'm reading about its features since the beginning of my WM life (Sept. 08) and I'm trying it as soon as it is released to the public. Looks very promising and interesting!
Good idea, will give it a try
Thanks for sharing
This app is just brilliant! Timesaving and incredibly useful, now finger touch is at a new level! Thank you so much, that should be included in any Diamond ROM!
sorry for my supid question, but whats exactly the sense of this app? and why does it save time and give new experiences?
What's wrong with the built in screen alignment? Seems to work okay, what makes this different??
the app is still not final!!! im workin on it as a write this !!!

AT LAST!

Well...
Finally took the plunge and shelled out for the HD2!
I trully hope it lives up to my hopes for it.
Can anyone help me out, though. What ROM should I flash on it? I still want Copilot, would like the home screens in landscape also if possible. Any ideas?
Thanks and I look forward to lots of great help from this forum, like I got from this great site for all my other phones! Well done all you guys that work so hard so that dumba** like me can get my phones the way I want them!!!

I can't help with the other things you request (I'm scared of going away from standard as I'm not confident in all this modification stuff!), but you can look for the NaviPanel.exe progam in the Windows folder of your phone. Click and hold on it, select copy, then navigate from the Windows folder to Windows/Start Menu/Programs and tap the menu soft button, select edit>paste shortcut (and rename if required). This should appear in your Start Menu now. You can the add it to a quick link (it hasn't got an icon though).
ROM 1.66
Rom 1.66 is the ROM to go...
re: the navipanel - bizarrely, mine decided to switch on navipanel by itself when I mounted the phone on one of the cheapo mounting kits from ebay - I've already modded my dashboard for my Garmin, which got power through mini USB (routed the cables behind the dash and out into a cubby) - so instead of pulingl the dash apart again I'm using a mini-to-micro adapter (99p off ebay or something).
My only guess is there's something special about the Garmin lead that tells the HD2 it's getting a little something more than just 12v - and the phone thinks it's the official car kit - because it doesn't happen when I just use the crappy adapter that came with the cheapo mounting kit.
Having said all that, I don't actually like navipanel cos it seems to disable the phone buttons - home key etc - presumably to stop you fiddling with the phone functions when you should be concentrating on the road - but that annoys the wife, who likes to control the music on long journeys...
Thanks
Thanks guys. ROM 1.66 is an HTC ROM right? NOT a custom?

Okay, thanks. I'll track it down. I'll use the UK one till a proper version comes out LOL!
Id love to flash to ROM 1.66. Just is such a hassle getting the phone back to how i had it. Wish it was easier.
Hi,
Why does the HTC web site tell me the ROM update is not for my device?
S/N is correct.
Is there another way to get 1.66

It means you have a carrier locked device, (example tmobile) so the standard HTC webpage wont let you download, you techincally need to wait for your provider to issue an update, ((buut dont hold your breath for tmo and o2,,,))). This has been covered a thousand times, go search for and read up on HSPL in the rom development section
