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 ???

- I Created a shortcut "mousemode.lnk" into \windows\start\programs
- I edited the shortcut mousemode.lnk as below : "\windows\mousemode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE
This work just perfect for me ... and another thing what I have done, its I bind the button to activate it .. and its works aswell ...

Yep this way is working nise .. i also binded the link to HW button ..

So, if I understud it well, I have to bind to a hardware button. It doesn´t work just like a icon ???

Worked a treat for me as a shortcut, no go bound to a hardware button though- still my hardware buttons are precious, my precious, they are reserved for the greatest of the great functions - it's easy enough to hit the start key and select mouse mode!
Thanks for another great tip!

I agree, it may be a pretty standard cursor file so it could be possible, a desktop sized cursor on a mobile device seems insane! I'm not sure I'd know where to begin modding it though.

I tried this step but everytime i tap the icon on windows\start menu\programs
(icon with link ..windows\mousemode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE) It open me a mouse mode enable page.. rather than automatic on and off the mouse mode..
It is possbile to make is auto just click.. on and off.
Please advise thanks

Back to this shortcut ... it work for me just as a shortcut in start menu. I copied it to \windows\startmenu\Programs .. When I attached it to hardware button it didn´t work ... but I´m happy with this start menu solution too... because I can now turn of this HTC Home today plugin

When You read all reply then you find where was problem with this shortcut when you made it in ppc totalcmd. The totalcmd put the first comma to the end of line and this was the problem as I wrote it in previous reply (#8)

Simply use Total commander and browse to the MouseMode.exe shortcut you created earlier with your highlight (don't tap on it). There is a green icon on the bottom of screen. Click it and start editting the shortcut. Save and exit total commander. Remember the soft-resets after registry editings. Enjoy

Thanks, victoradjei
Will do.

It is possible to switch the mouse on/off through a hardware button, however it does not work by linking a shortcut to that button. You don't need any extra program either, all it takes is a little tweaking in the registry.
This is an example of how to use the camera button for turning the mouse on/off (personally I don't use the camera), but of course you can use another key as well:
Open the registry and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Shell/Keys/40C5/
There you will see some keys, of which Default is one of them. Open Default and change whatever is there to
"\windows\mousemode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE
Close the registry and you're done.
If you want another key, it is the same procedure, but replace the '5' in the above description (40C5) by another number.

You guys are talking over my head. All I did was install new menu, fond on this forum and create a shortcut from there. I press the right soft key select "mouse" select enable mouse mode.
New menu is a very useful app for loads of other stuff aswel, you all should have it.

troubleshooting devices ...
hello, I need some info from the developer:
In the tab 'GPSinfo' I see on the top line 'Date' :
Is this calculated from the GPS signal or what?
My problem:
I can run GPSinfo on two identical devices, Pharos 600e, WM6.1
On the first one, it works OK and I get GPS lock, and the 'Date' field is updated with the current date
On the second, identical device, I can not get GPS lock, the 'Date' field shows a date in 2006 "2006/04/16"
On both devices the GPS driver seems to work, I see the GPS light blinking, and the NMEA data scrolling in the 'Setup' field of the program.
I suspect a (hardaware?software?) problem with the second device and I am trying to troubleshoot the issue..
Any advice?
Thanks in Advance !

How to auto connect to external BT-GPS

Hi every one,
I have paired an external BT GPS , and every time that i want to use it with TomTom or Oziexplorer, i have to manually connect to it as BT manager ask.
Any clue on doing this automatically as it was before in other devices with Broadcom stack?
Thanks.

Try to install "GPSGATE 2" ...
GPSGATE will create a virtual port that u can use with TT or Ozie.
for example : GPSGATE found my Royaltek (by Bluetooth) and do a virtual port com 4 (u can choose the number), after that, in tomtom or Ozie i choose my "gpsgate virtual" port 4 (i believe it's named "Franson" port) ...
...and that's all !
GPSGATE must be start with your device (see in options) ...

That is one of the things that i tried, but still asking if i want to connect it.
Thanks any away.

Strange...because, as i start TT, gpsgate look after my BT GPS and switch on automatically BT on TP2...and connect to GPS !
I do nothing, only start TT ...

I think that the difference between us is that mine is an Spanish rom.
Also i can't change the settings for external gps at wm settings page.
Perhaps it is a bug on Spanish rom, who knows.

FastGPS from X2

Can anybody patch the FastGPSsetup.cab from the original X2 to use with the X1.
I tried the cab. Installation is o.k. but after a restart it is no more possible to go on Start Menu.
I put it in the attachements.

it doesn't need to be patched. it should (i can't guarantee it) work if you install more cabs, but I haven't checked too much.

which cabs should I install in addition?

I tried instlling after fastgps other programs.
but just the same happens, after instllation of fastgps the startmenu is out of order.
