Upgrading Orange ROM to imate Jasjar ROM

Hello,
I've just received my SPV M5000 and I'm loving it. However I do have a few niggles. Freezing, took ages to get skype to work, unable to install Tom Tom navigator 5.0.
I've heard that the imate Jasjar ROM is more reliable than Orange ROM.
Any information on the following questions would be much appreciated.
Does the imate ROM contain skype?
Where abouts can I locate the imate ROM?
How do install the ROM?
Can Tom Tom navigator run on the device?
Thanks in advance.

TomTom runs on the orange ROM. Its the installation that has problems, and that is to do with the installation package not liking WM5/Activesync 4
You can install TTN by copying over the 5 cab files manually and running them on the device, you will also want to find the 5.1 update cab.
If you do a search you will find the cab, and the information on this board. It took me 15 mins all in.
I know it doesn't answer your question, but might save you turning your phone into a brick!!
Also, are you on orange? If so, how the hell are you going to afford to use skype after the 3months 3g trial ends? :wink: :lol:

Thanks for that.
In response to your question. I won't really be using Skype over 3g. I will only use within Wireless Haotspots using WiFi.
As I am a complete thicky, would you be able to spoon feed me the installation of Tom Tom to my Universal. Where to install, what, etc and the upgrade?
Thanks in advance.

toptaggy,
I'm an irregular poster on here but found myself in the position of having a genuine registered copy of TomTom Navigator 5 and unable to use it on my M5000 having just upgraded from the M1000 and M2000.
Elsewhere on this forum, I found thie following which is a very helpful guide to installing TTN5 with Bluetooth GPS.
Hope it works for you too.

TomTom
There are 3 key steps in making TomTom 5 work on an i-mate JasJar with a Bluetooth GPS.
Many tips are scattered around in different Forums.
Here is a COMPLETE overview of what to do.
STEP 1 : INSTALL TOMTOM5
You do this by copying the CAB files from the CDROM (eg F:\PocketPC) to the JasJar and launch one by one from there with the explorer of the JasJar.
You can install voices the same manner by copying the CAB files to the Jasjar (eg from F:\Voice on the CDROM)
STEP 2 : UPGRADE TO V5.1
http://www.htcclub.net/storage/ppcupd510.rar
Extract and copy the files to a folder on the JasJar and install them from there.
STEP 3 : ACTIVATE THE GPS CONTROL PANEL
Fire up a registry editor (eg http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml )
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
Delete the DWORD marked "hide"
Add a DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec)
The GPS panel will now show up in your connection settings.
STEP 4 : INSTALL TOMTOM5
1. Establish a bond with your GPS and select the checkbox for serial access.
2. In BT, select the OUTGOING port to 8.
3. In the GPS control panel, select the GPS program to 0 and make sure that the hardware one, is set to None.
4. Start TT5 and the GPS settings, select another bluetooth GPS, and you will see COM 0 free. Select COM 0 and close TT5.
5. At the GPS control panel again, now select COM 8 (before we set it up at 0).
6. At BT: select OUTGOING port to 0.
7. Back again to GPS control panel and select NONE.
8. Finally start TT5 and it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.

Hi toptaggy
So far I was never happy with Orange ROMs. But I have a suggestion for you as long a realy good ROM is not avalable.
I installed the VGA tool. With this one the screen is much faster, specialy when turning the screen.
Than with the Total Commander CE the extended ROM is visible (just tip in the adress bar: Extended_ROM ). Here you can fist backup it and than remove unneccessary file as Orange ring tones etc. This will free up you some memory.
With this config my M5000 is working 50% faster as the standard out of the box.
A pitty is that the slider in the memory setting is missing as you had it in W2003 SE.
Cheers

What is the VGA tool and where can it be obtained from ???

mobile solutuions o2 active ui

hi,
i have noticed that O2 has "mobile solutuions o2 active ui" installed in it by default, i love this user interface and would like to install it on my PDA2K runnig latest WM5 with patches... i tried copying the directory file from an o2 device onto my pda2k but it didnt work...
so is this UI available anywhere to download and will it run on the i-mate pda2k??
regards

try this, it is from the o2 1.40 rom. i installed this on the t-mobile 1.40 rom and works perfectly, you could try it, if it dont work, then just uninstall it
if it does work, id like to know if it does, cos i might go back to WM5.0
if you go to the xda dev ftp site.
ftp://xda-developers.com
follow the following path
ftp://xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/O2_UK_XDAIIs_WWE_14000_237_11200_SHIP[Extended_ROM]/
in that folder, you will find the file named, Install.arm.cab
this is the cab file to install o2 active.
to access the ftp you need to log on with xda as both user name and password.

hey jo,
its nice to c someone willing to help, cheers...
unfortunatly, where i am currently, i cant access ftp, and this is the only place i have internet access around here (am not home... business trip), so its either untill Feb that i will be able to access it or someone can upload it on http...
regards

Registry Edit

Hello Guys,
I found some messages here in XDA about some software to allow rgistry
edition. I tried to used PHMRegEdit.msi
I downloaded, instaled using ActiveSync but I can´t find how to start this application inside my Qtek 9100 (I think this smartphone is like the wizard 1200).
Any idea ? I couldn´t find anything in the Program File Directory or any icon in the PDA.
Thanks and nice days,

WM5 to WM6

guys i recently bought a dash (dopod c720w GSM sim free is what we get here in India). Will i be able to upgrade it from WM5 to 6. also, in my start/menu screen there is no 2d-3d menu switching option (as has been shown in some reviews). how do i get it..?? all comments welcome...
thanx
nindo

Yes, with one of the flash's posted here.

This is one of the best guides to upgrading you can find.
D.

I am also from India and have successfully flashed WM6 to my WM5 Dopod c720w. While the phone is sim free, it is still CID locked. You need to get it CID unlocked first by going to www.imei-check.co.uk. Only after its CID unlocked can you install WM6.
The above posted guide is excellent.
This is my post about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1479203#post1479203
After you upgrade, it will remain on the Windows Mobile screen for quite some time. Don't panic, it just takes a lot of time to configure itself, etc.
After you upgrade to WM6, you will have to change the keyboard settings as the HTC rom's keyboard keys are a bit differen to the Dopod's. It's simple and its posted here:

thanx guys...will try n do it...will come back with the resuts...
by da way abt the 2d-3d menu option..i got the required files from my frend whos got htc s710 (wm6)...but dunno where to install them...the files seem to be workin individually...but when i try to change the settings it doent work...
i ve got the following files: 1) htc3D.dll.409 2) htc3D.exe 3) htc3Dsettings 4) MenuSelect.dll.409...where to paste them...???

There was no 2D/3D menu in my Dopod, neither is it there in the HTC rom. I don't think the files would work off the s710.

the files are working in my phone...in one of the reviews on the net they ve shown this feature in c720w...
there is an .exe file - htc3D which runs but shows all icons as 'messaging'...even the settings work...i mean i can switch from 'windows default' to '3d menu' from the 'htc3Dsettings.exe' file. when i apply 3d and restart the phone the menu systems works in the 3d mode but as mentioned earlier all icons are replaced by 'messaging'. i guess there are 2 '.dll.409' files which have to be pasted into a specific system folder for it show the correct icons in the menu...but i dunno where...???

Hi m8,
I know this will not help you much. I have the same unit but with mio maps and trying to install tomtom 7 on it but whit no luck. Any chance you could explain tome how you got working? or made a copy of your SD car and upload. I'm so frustrated with it, spend almost 3 days and no luck.
Thanks for the help and SORRY I can't help you.
Cheers

Just unrar and copy that to sd card and choose tomtom navigator.exe in gps path. This tomtom is with polish language but you can change that in menu. You need maps 8 with 22 meta or 7 maps for this tt and activate with tt8_keygen2.exe for 8 maps and tt7_keygen.exe for 7 maps.
Sorry for my english...
You can try http://rapidshare.com/users/M9JTJL i think you can choose language with this one...

Problem solve
Hi yonasz,
I was able to fix the problem, but thanks for the upload.
This is what I have done:
I run a little scrip (TT7 Navigator.mscr) that will pop up the power settings window before TomTom run. This will keep you the chance to change the " Switch State to user idle " from 1 minute to never. You must be quick as it will stay open for about 5 to 10 sec. only.
To run this script you need a few files in your TomTom directory. I have create a TT7WinCE.rar with all this files. Ones you done you just remove only the "TT7 Navigator.exe" and the "TT7 Navigator.mscr" everything else leaved in there.
One more thing you need to edit the "TT7 Navigator.mscr" and point to your TomTom Directory TomTom Navigator.exe, use notepad for it. Here is how my looks:
Errorlevel ("off")
Run( "ctlpnl.exe", "cplmain.cpl,5,1" )
WaitFor( "Power Properties", 5 )
SendOK( "Power Properties" )
RunWait ("\SDMMC\TomTom\TomTom Navigator.exe")
Exit
Here the link to the files: http://rapidshare.com/files/174215677/TT7WinCE.rar
If you need any help let me know, I glad to help out.
Cheers
Gyga

I have my own script for tt7
RegWriteDword ("HKLM", "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\UserIdle","Default",0)
#start TT
Run("\SDMMC\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe")
I run tt7 from tt-run.exe from gps menu (gps ,music etc). You have to change path in TT-Run.mscr to your Tomtom Navigator.exe if you dont have it like that:
\SDMMC\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe
http://rapidshare.com/files/174321988/tt-run.zip.html
I just click on gps icon in menu and wait 5 sec and tomtom is ready to use.
Sorry for my english....
