Tip: Backup CoPilot before you flash - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development

Many custom ROM's don't have CoPilot intstalled. Make sure you make a backup of the CoPilot software on your old ROM before updating. After you've updated you can restore the software on your new ROM.
The CoPilot application can be backed up with the CoPilot desktop software, called CoPilot Central (2.0). Download it here.
Additional tip:
Make a backup of CoPilot with CoPilot central, then go (on your Windows 7 or Vista desktop) to:
[drive]:\Users\[your login]\AppData\Roaming\ALK Technologies\CoPilot Central 2.0\CentralData\Backup\Program Files\
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and copy the CoPilot directory to your MicroSD card.
Unfortunately the activation key isn't stored during the backup process, but the CoPilot live login is, so it saves you some typing on the abc keyboard during the reactivation of the software.
If someone has found out how to store the activation key, please let me know.

Nice tip, thanks!

In the meantime there are cabs available to install CoPilot again on the HD2. But I am always stressed out about the CoPilot activation.

wow, I can see you get stressed about it You found a thread that is really old.
Back then, my son, times were much tougher then for you youngsters nowadays. We had to copy things around to get things going. Nowadays, you have little cabs and all that.. what a luxury!
But don't stress out. Never stress out. Just say ohhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm and backup the file licp8.dat that you will find in your windows directory.

In german I would say, its just "nervig" but in cause of the fact that we've to write in english here I have used online translation and picked up "stressed out". Maybe it was a to hard word for my small problem.

I was just kidding. I agree, it is a annoying problem. But the trick works. It saved me from a heart attack.

Then I'll increase the difficult level:
Will I have to install CoPilot before restoring this file or will it then be overwritten?

WordNetCE

Hi All,
Well I've kicked off my first windows mobile project with a progam I call "WordNetCE". If anyone is familiar with Princeton University's program called WordNet you will know you can use it as a brilliant dictionary/thesaurus, amongst other things that are beyond a normal human's intelligence.
One thing I've found lacking for Pocket PC is a decent free dictionary/thesaurus, so I've set out to make one based upon WordNet which is free to distribute from Princeton. A person named Malcolm Crowe did the original .NET port for WordNet 1.6, so I modified it to work with the new WordNet 2.0 dictionary, as well as with the Pocket PC platform (it wasn't all copy & paste...).
It's free to download from http://www.ebswift.com/PocketPC/WordNet/.
Note though that I have only just barely kicked this project off, but the dictionary side of things is operating. You will find much of the other functionality isn't working, but will come online soon.
Please check it out and start giving me some feedback. Thanks.
Just fixed up a lot more of the functionality - it's more useable compared to what it was before if anyone had a chance to look. A couple of buttons are still not complete, as with most of the main menu, but it can do about 20 times more than what it could this morning.
Look very promising!
Just one question: Is it mandatory to store the WordNet database onto a storage card, or can I store it on internal RAM too?

At the moment it's mandatory, but there's no reason why I can't add an option. Not many people will be able to use main memory because the database is ~over~ 30 meg!

I wonder why? I'm using the T-Mobile 4.01.16 ROM on an XDA 1 and installed the CAB with no problems. Are you using an XDA 2? I'm not sure if there's any difference with the CAB installers between XDA1/2, or maybe there's corruption in the download file, I'll check tomorrow. VS.NET outputs CAB's for all the difference PPC processors, so I'll put them up ASAP to cover other devices than the XDA1.
Thanks for the feedback
Here's a screenshot that's also on the website :

I'm really sorry about that, my download algorithm had a response.end, so a "Thread Aborted" was being tagged onto any download. Changing that to Response.Flush seems to have fixed it, at least for that cab file.
Please give it another go, I do appologise for coming up with such a thread with a screwed download.

Hey man, no appologies needed. Great work, thanks for the great freeware. It worked great.
Thanks Iggy. Bear with me for a few minutes if there's any problem with the download, I'm just writing some referrer protection into downloads. It won't take long.
===OK, the referrer protection is finished and it's all working again...
I just uploaded a version I call 0.5 because it's 0.5% finished. Compared to the version since I posted last in this thread there's some major bugfixes; the adjective and adverb menus now correctly show, and there's versions for different processors.

sorry ebswift, the download links don't seem to work, and once you have fixed them what is the difference between arm & arm4 (xda ii maybe). let me know when it is fixed.
The download is now fixed ~again~...
I already responded to Iggy, but just so the group knows, ARMV4 is the one that seems to be uploaded to my device during debug sessions, so I can safely say that ARMV4 is somehow newer than ARM. So I guess anything XDA1 or upwards can use ARMV4. I have had both working on my XDA1 and I can't see any difference in operation, although I haven't tested for performance.
Nice job brother. Now works perfectly
Well I added the little convenience of the keypad popping up automatically, and popping away on lost focus. There's also a couple more menu items in operation. It's really not far away from working completely, most of the technical stuff is out of the way.
Just downloaded and tried, excellent work. Thanks for setting up the keyboard, makes it a lot easier. Looking forward to the final version, but so far excellent.
I just upgraded to 0.53 so the history works (or should work).
I'm really happy the way this project is going.
All features operating
I have just uploaded WordNetCE .99 with ALL features now operating. Please update to that version and let me know if there's any bugs. Thanks!
For those of you who tried that latest download and found it didn't work, it is now patched, you should be able to get it up and running now.

WIMP - Where Is My Phone

Hey Guys,
I posted this in the Kaiser thread. It works brilliantly on my Ameo too.
Here's the first post from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332324
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve found a mint piece of software that no Kaiser owner should be without.
It comes with a trial period and u should check it out.
I was looking for some software that would help secure my phone and came across this. http://www.wimp-software.co.uk)
It’s supposedly designed to help you find your phone (yeh right, I aint gonna lose my £500 phone) but me and my mate have had a **** load of fun with it.
It’s pretty cool.
If you read the instructions, you can basically text the phone, but the other person doesn’t get the text message. The software grabs this coded text message and sends you back the gps position of the phone. It also gives you a link to google maps which is great if you’ve got Opera installed on your phone. (Don’t try PIE, it doesn’t work)
I gotta say, I’ve seen a lot of cool software around, but this one is SO cool. I only wish my girlfriend had a Kaiser. I could have so much fun with this.
The only thing I would add to the software though, is to know I was being WIMPED. Maybe a little SMS noise, or the icon changed or something, but I do suppose that it was written for phone theft. I haven’t tried it yet, but it also claims that if you change the SIM card in the phone it’ll SMS you with the number of the new SIM card.
this is a great find. thanks
Yes, this is a fantastic idea. However, the implication on our privacy is something to think about very seriously. Yes, it does protect our phone from theft and lost.
Can it be uninstalled or removed by a hard reset.?
Yes, it can be uninstalled, and yes it will be removed by a hard reset.
HOWEVER, pop it into your External Rom and the above two things become insignificant.
That's very true.
or cook it into a rom, doesnt help if they re-flash though...
Mobile Justice
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice
Does the same, is freeware, works without problems on My athena WITHOUT bottom bar at 128 DPI (WINP shows no ICON)
The easiest way could be to cook it into a ROM and put the config file into an unlocked EXTERNAL ROM.
This is needed because a config file is requested, so, even if you cook mobile justice into the rom, you can't cook the config file (it needs your password, your SIM number and your phone number to report at..)
Then you can config your phone and even in case of an hard reset, without the thieft knowledge of the SW, it will restart and it reads the config file into the external ROM

We would have to assume that 99.9% of the guy having our phones does not know anything about flashing. This is a reasonable assumption I think.
Having even 80% chances of getting back a lost phone is already not bad.

Agree with this. Even having the config file on the MicroDrive might work, if this could be built into the ROM to look there by default. Don't know if that's possible. Yes, you could erase the Microdrive but this would take more research than the usual thief might be willing to make...
WIMP says it will send a Google Maps link, will Mobile Justice do that? Seems like MJ is actually more configurable.

MJ send GPS info in some formats, and have NO ICON on home screen. And a guy having in his hands a phone like this the first thing he search on google is HOW TO HARD RESET THE DEVICE Without a config file in ROM (on on microdrive I agree, but when you hard reset the ATHENA he asks "do you want to format the microdrive?" Having a stolen one the answer will be always YES!
Moreover is FREE, so I think no problems, asking to author, to put it into the ROM and to modify the registry key for config file to have it on external rom. The problem is.. could we have a PK3.0 with External Rom unocked as default?

I don't recall being asked about reformatting the MicroDrive on hard reset... But having it in external rom would certainly be a viable approach. This would be a nice feature for PK3.0

The only way to works well it's integrating it in the rom, cause if its stolen the first thing that can do is change the rom
New Version on their website.
V1.2 includes various stealth options.
Wouldn't it be great if we could tell the program to draw the thiefs attention (eg an alarm) and when the person reacts to this alarm have it make a photograph with the front camera, which could be send through mms or e-mail... Then you would know who to look for when you arrive at the GPS coordinates with your baseball bat...

TomTom for HD2

Hi,
Can someone please paste a definitive cab with TomTom for the HD2?
I believe this should not upset anyone - after all TomTom won't run without the separate maps which have to be purchased etc.
Collating information from the other threads here it would seem as though the latest version of TomTom would be the best one after all of the .dll's contained within are stripped out (correct?).
Look forward to <whoever> stepping up to the plate!
I would also be interested in this. I do think tom tom might object though.

I'm sure you might be right.. however (and without wanting to take this thread off-topic).. I have a copy of TomTom Navigator sitting in my hallway - still shrink wrapped despite having paid £60-ish for it.. the reason being that I knew when I purchased it that it wouldn't install on my (then) Diamond, however I did manage to find a working cab on here and maps etc. A stupid situation - TomTom should supply working installation media for popular handsets - fact of the matter is though then don't. So in this situation I did what I thought was 'right'. If TomTom want to argue this with me then so be it.. just my opinion btw!
I could post a .cab, but first I need confirmation that this is allowed.
TomTom works great on my HD2.
I'd like this too!
Can always email me if you want.... [email protected]
You can use any VGA version - is working just fine.
There's many links on this forum - just use search
Same prob here, I have the maps but the cab file i used couldnt find the maps which were located on the sd-card whilst the program was installed to the device. Also, the voiced didn't work.
You need to install the voices seperate to voices dir, and it wont find the maps unless its linked to your device, ahhem....
I have TomTom and Copilot, and i have to say Copilot kicks TomToms Ass.
And how is this linking done?

Does the version you have work with TomTom Home?
If not, how can I get my existing maps to work with it?
I tried a cab discussed in another thread and manually copied over my maps but when I ran TomTom it prompts for activation which needs to be done via TomTom Home as they don't issue a product id to use with ttcode.com anymore.
I'm hoping it won't be long till TomTom officially supports the HD2 but would appreciate knowing how/what you have working.
My version works fine with the HD2 and even updates.

Hi all,
i've tomtom v7.915(9196) and french map v675.1409
All works nice on my HD2.
I just dont have landscape mode, but i know there is a mod to put the option in the tomtom soft.
I'll search for that.
I've got the cab, but you need to find a voice on internet.

If you find the rotate option or cab let me know
Latest maps are up to version 8.40
get bsb tweaks to add landscape to tomtom
are there others then me, who has/had problem with tomtom can't find maps?

You can use TT7 7.916.9189 Vga. Unable to attach
And after you installed the the cab then you need to rename or delete the following files from windows folder
BtcoreIf.dll
BtSDK30CE.dll
This will resolve the "Bluetooth radio cannot be swithced on" problem
Good luck
EDIT: please download from Rs from this link because i am unable to attach here

I'm also interested in this. I've not got a custom ROM on mine, but have been tempted, so i asked CoPilot support about it. Don't hold your breath on me getting a reply though, as it took 2 weeks for them to get back to me with my last question!

That's not a guaranteed method. There are most likely files in unexpected locations and registry entries that you wouldn't immediately find. It's worth trying though, but I wouldn't expect it to work completely.
Co Pilot make a great product, in my opinion; however their support, or should I say their speed in reacting to customer queries, leaves a lot to be desired.
I am waiting for a response from them to a query I logged over 2 weeks ago (granted we have had Xmas in between) but I'm not expecting to hear from them until mid January at the earliest.
WB
when I first purchased it I got a download link for a cab and the maps in an email from ALK.
Don't you have that?
Not going to share the cab as it appears to already have my reg number inside it (or at least it's already filled in).
as a secondary route you can back up and restore the programfiles for copilot.
Use Copilot central on your PC on a stock rom to back up, and it will restore fine on your new one..
I've tried this a few times now.

No - it was installed on the device when I got it and I've never had a download link. There was also a bit of literature in the box about CoPilot, and that said that it was pre-installed.

Copilot 8 thinks I am in Africa

Hi I have an issue with Copilot 8 and havent managed to find a thread in here that mentions the issue I have.
I have the following versions
OS 5.2.21869
Manilla 2.5.19211619.0
ROM 1.48.405.2 WWE
Radio 2.05.51.05_2
I replaced the original 2GB SD card with an 8GB, and used the 2gb card in my daughters Nintendo DS, blatting everything on it.
Now I fancy trying Copilot, and whilst I can run the app, I cannot download any maps as it thinks I am in Africa (or only have permission to download those maps).
This is the same for Copilot Central and on the device, if i try to download anything else it just says "Error downloading files", for the African one it gives me a second screen asking me to confirm.
Am I missing something here? Or is it because I deleted the "trial" version maps on my SD card?
I have 15 days left on the trial to fix this :-S
Hope someone has had the same issue??

Agreed. However I bought CP7 early last year (I think) and it cost me nearly £60! I wrote to them recently asking if I could transfer my licence across rather than pay £26 for a new package when CP7 is perfecly adequate and they refused.
Fair do's I suppose, as they have got to make some money somewhere but disappointed nevertheless. The "get in lane" improvements in CP8 are worth it as I use this system in my car. However seeing that I have not yet had the full benefit out of the package I paid for last year I can't justify the extra expense and then have a whole package lying around doing nothing.
Shame.
WB
I think they are getting confused somewhere!
There is absolutely nothing to prevent you cancelling the license on one device then reactivating it on another one. The only thing they won't do, and this maybe where the confusion arose, is to transfer a license between platforms (WM -> Apple/Andoid and vice versa)
If you still have CPL on the original device, you can go into the Licensing screen and select to deactivate it. This needs an internet connection. Once deactivated, install the program on the new device and go through the online activation. If that doesn't work, complain again to ALK. There is no compulsion to upgrade to relicense the program.
Had the same issue with my trial. CoPilot sent me this link and it says just to copy the copilot folder to the memory card.

That's funny. My CoPilot Central 2.0 thinks I'm in Africa, too. When I used the KML-export function of my GPS-Tracks, that I had no use for, the only coordinates the KML-file contained were two hundred miles off the coast of Ghana in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Now I can see what the product is like, the screenshots look pretty nice. Ive got an inbuilt satnav in the car, but for £26 I'd be tempted to get this as a walking aid.

Same here, I have factory fitted satnav in the car but I got co-pilot after the trial ended, as you say if you just use it as a walking aid, you can't go wrong for £26.

I think they are getting confused somewhere!
There is absolutely nothing to prevent you cancelling the license on one device then reactivating it on another one.

Neil,
Thanks for the heads up. To be honest ALK make a great product but their Customer Service is diabolical. Rather than spend hours exchanging increasingly meaningless messages with them in that fixed format template format they are so fond of using which is so irritating and tells you absolutely nothing, I simply ditched all the CP8 folders on my device (bar the rom files which I can't move) and installed my paid for CP7.
Saves a whole load of hassle, from my perspective, and it works just fine.

Right anyone got any idea how to make the poxy Copilot Central software think i am in Europe? That still insists i am in Africa.... lord above, one step forward, two steps back and all that!!

Long shot but if you are trying to access CP Central from a PC, why don't you set-up a proxy server or use some other method to "hide" your IP address which might help solve the problem?
I have never done this for this purpose so it's unusual for me to recommend an action I have not tried myself; however if no one else has a better answer and you can't get CP Support to help then might be worth a go?

Got to be worth a try, so i will give it a go.
My mate has the same issue, so its not just me
Let us know how you get on. If it works then this would be a useful tip for others. If it doesn't then they don't have to waste their time on this.

No joy
I have raised the question with the support team, will update post in a month when they reply!! Although to be fair they came back within 2 hours on the Africa thing on the HD2 with the link to the software.

Don't bother with the Copilot support "contact form". It's totally useless, and they'll probably never reply. Instead send a "tweet" to http://twitter.com/copilotsupport/ or http://twitter.com/copilotlive/. That usually gets an answer within 24 hours.
