DOES **GPS** Work On Hermes?

I have a cingular 8525, and theres people talking about loading tomtom to there 8525, is the GPS function working on it? seems like there is drivers on here for it? and people trying to get it to work? Anyone can give me any info without me going over 70 pages of peoples comments?
Thank you.....and a Thank you for all the people cooking the ROMS...Lets see at ATT/Cingular ROM with Windows Mobile 6.......

Come on man, just read the last few posts out of the GPS threads and you will know. It does not work yet, the software is there (supposedly) what is needed now is an antenna.

If you're not willing to familiarize yourself with the GPS threads, then please just go out and buy a bluetooth GPS and save everyone some time.

thank you
I expected this response, But allot of people have the same question this just makes it simple......Who wants to carry their brick looking hermes and a brick gps module? NO ONE.... but thnak you for the replies....it is very appreciated

If you can't be bothered to read the threads than any attempt you make at enabling gps is likely to result in a brick. So why bother ask?

I think this is a great question as I have been a member of xda for a while now and I don't feel like reading through all 70 pages either simple question why not answer the question without making him feel like a d!ck not working yet man when it does work it will be added to the stickys

Pfff then we would get this question everyday. people should just read the last pages! Or else we get stupid questions every day.
btw. is the proton rom out already?

Hi, how do I flash my hermes?
why are the roms not on the ftp?

Gentlemen please. You know what I like about XDA-Dev, compared to some other places, is the generally very helpful and polite manner of the posters. Sometimes something can really wind us up and showing a bit of irritation is fine but now we've shown that let's think how we avoid this problem in future.
Firstly if there is already a thread on a subject it should be used to post a relevant question. So a question about GPS should not be in a new thread like this one.
Secondly, I agree with the above poster who said - you only need to read through the last few posts , not all 70 pages, to know roughly what is happening.
Thirdly, you may get away with far more slightly cheeky things if you ask politely and with a measure of humour.
Lastly, as someone above said sometimes it's just easier and more peaceful to give a very short answer to a "cheeky" question whilst perhaps also pointing out that next time the person might do a bit more work to get the answer.
Peace and Love

I can manage to Flash my arse - if that's any help?? Last time I did it though someone gave me a boot up it which made me **** a brick. So I guess you might say I got stuck in bootloader mode and ended up with a brick!!!???

@mikechannon: good point. nice pic. very amusing.

You all are right probably... but why are there 3 threads???
And why are there 4 threads about WM6???
Both my favorite subjects, so I always have to read 7 threads...
Yeah I know, I don't have to if I don't want to. But I want!
But still: maybe some more moderating???

Worth a haiku I think.

CM poll scam thread locked?

Is it locked ?, because I would think an admin would explain themselves. We did nothing wrong but give our opinions on the matter. Oh wait... did favoritism have anything to do with it? Haha

It is closed because it is off topic, has nothing to do with XDA, and is a general pain in the ass. XDA closes threads for this reason all the time. Deal with it.

Just beating a dead horse now. Also, this is you.

Or maybe because someone's affiliated with CyanogenMod. I'm going to find 100 threads, including this one, that were not locked.
How can a topic in the general forum be considered off topic?
Please explain.
Oh and did I mention I was banned over at CyanogenMod Forums?
You can bet it will get posted in the right forums if this isn't the right one. People must and will know what happened.

TBH, the guy needs to stop whining. They didn't like his design. Case closed. They made a mistake of running the poll but they ultimately have final say. And as someone who works in the design field, I don't even blame them. The website wasn't great. I would never approve that in any way; and even though CM is a pretty small community project, it deserves way better. Move on.

Well, thats you opinion, and your entitled to it, but i thought the design was great, and would've been a very welcome change to the website. And your expertise in the design field doesn't mean anything to anyone.

You're right, opinions are opinions. Ultimately in this occasion, their opinion was what mattered. Life isn't fair; they didn't like it, and like I said, he needs to just move on.
This guy acts as if he was entitled to something, like the design was god's gift to CM. It wasn't. And you're right that my experience in the field doesn't mean anything to anyone; but all I will say is that the guy made something that had some appealing qualities but that missed the mark. He didn't design for the project and instead made something that he thought looked good. That was my impression of the design. Opinions aside, he just needs to stop whining.

Personally I liked his design, but in the end the poll didn't really matter because Cyan and his team are going to go with what they want. It's there website, they pay for it so final decision is theres.

IPhone iOS for htc hd2

can be solved?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App

Why do u want to downgrade your HD2 to an operating system made for dummies???

iOS is a closed its not like android in the way that the source code is available for the world to see... And iphones are all alike to each other besides suttle changes and has notthing in common with hd2 hardware... So even if the source code was leaked it would be nearly inpossible to correct all the bugs and incompatibilty that would rise and APPLES legal hammer would sue everybody
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Guess it's that time again.
Some dude, without searching, asks if we can port iOS, then a some dude will give the very hilarious and completely original joke of "why would you downgrade your HD2 like that..." and be very proud that he has successfully executed humor.
Then someone takes the time to write a legitimate post with a full explanation on why it cannot be done even though the OP will never read it since he never bothered searching in the first place.
Then someone like me points out the worthlessness of the thread and most of the responses in it.
Then a couple more people will argue as to why iOS is better/worse than Android is better/worse than WP7 and the thread either gets closed or finally dies out.
/the end.

Rather than bash, I would suggest looking into the MIUI rom if you like Apple's IOS.

How can you not bash complete and utter [censored]?
If you wanted iPhart, get the iPhart.
Same thing as walking into a Porsche forum and asking if they can put that 3-gear, 5.6 diesel powered engine from your old wifebeater into the 911 Carrera Turbo.
People will still laugh their @$$ off and then tell you to go back to the hole you came from.

God, we get this in the Samsung Galaxy 4g side and now here.
Blunt reply to the OP:
1) No, it can't be done
2) Want an iPhone, get one.
3) Google is your friend. Use it.
4) To the OP: don't ever reply to this thread again lest you be considered a cretin forevermore.

Trolls and the ungrateful

One thing I have enjoyed here in this forum is it is much friendlier and less flaming than the evolution 3d forum I came from, and still is so far.
I have read a few things that disappointed me greatly I would like to mention .
Guys, think before you bash a persons work. Whether it's a theme, ROM, or some mod these people put in hard work and time for free and our benefit! It may not be perfect or what you personally like but that's not the point. If I was doing things for friends I've never met or a forum I would stop after some of the crap I've read.
Guys, please keep this place supportive and friendly. We were all noobs once and didn't know much except how to turn on the phone.
Anyway, respect each other and the work posted here. Bashing doesn't promote anything and doesn't encourage anyone to keep going .
And it's FREE!
Ok, group hug . J/k

It has become worse over the years. Sadly.
Still it's a small group who messes it up for the rest.
I have however, also seen someone who thinks he's a "developer", say snobby stuff to noobs. Like he was better then them.
This is much worse imho.

I agree. It goes both ways and there will always be the ones who's sole purpose is to troll and flame. I just can't imagine knocking someones hard work when they are giving it away. And I will never understand flaming a noob for asking a question. We were all there once. Hopefully this forum will stay above the fray .
Like my mom says about free stuff, "beggers can't be choosers"

I completely second what OP said,most of my PDAs would have been unusable bricks without the support of this great Forum and its intelligent and zealous Devs, starting long back with my Imate PDA2K in 2006, turning my HD2 from unstable device with its officially unsupported OS into one great masterpiece .
I salute all the devs in this forum knowing well that our GNote coupled with their fantastic effort and talent will become an even better device once the official ICS starts rolling out.

It is only allowed for a "My first impressions" thread to suck only if Chuck Norris says so. And far from it, it's only allowed to open such threads now if only Mr Norris said so..Which means there would be none of those threads

this thread is utterly useless, while the first impression threads often feature information for noobs, sometimes even videos on the use of roms.
if everyone would open a new thread just to blab out their opinion on any given topic, this forum would become useless.
reported as nonsense.

TheSaw - you are one cheeky man. You lit the fire with 2 words, and you're sitting back and enjoying the conflagration. Shame on you
I've had 18 posts modded and deleted today - beat that, you rascal!
OT - nothing against those posts myself. And every one of them has convinced me not to let any ICS near my phone until an official release.
Job done.

That's a pretty neat dancing fellow. What's wrong with its face?
