If it is MS live search then yes (I removed mine first just in case) if its some other search you may have to remove it (via settings) first
Installed this new Live Search cab,no longer can use Live Search on Today screen
Yes the program works well after installation, but now I have lost the capability of searching from my Today screen Windows Live Search. Any hints at what I should do to fix? What ever I put in to the space for search, it comes back with a window " The file http://mobilelive.com/search etc etc" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file".Never did use my Live Search on Today screen much , but now it bothers me not having it work. If I am not mistaken, it certainly didn't do the same type of searches that this new version is capable of doing. Can't remember whether it was configured to use Google search or not.. Anyways, somehow the installation buggered things up. Any ideas, I would be greatful for any recommendations. I did do SR, and even uninstalled the New cab, but ended up in a worse scenario, because I couldn't get my old version to work anymore. Looking for the string to change the Search URL to Google. I used to see it all the time, now I can't find it. Thought I would change the Search URL in Schaps Advanced config tool.
Just tried changing the Search string to use Google in regedit, and that did not help. Still can't do a Live search using Today screen search, or when I go to WLM using the search there. Anyone else experiencing this?
I have had no problems with mine. I installed the cab from the web site over the existing Live Search and it works great. I use live search , not Google so maybe that could be a problem. It almost sounds like the registry is messed up. I would reinstall the rom and then install live search again if you are going to use it.
Pre existing Live Search incorporated in WLM before this new one
I had WLM previous to overlaying this separate cab, so I didn't overlay on to a separate ,existing Live Search stand alone program.. Maybe this is why it didn't merge correctly into the WLM . I suppose that if I would have either deleted a previous separate Live Cab only and installed the new one , that might have made the difference.. Thanks

The "Search" Today plug in is from Windows Live. (Pocket MSN replacement) Which is not the same as Live Search. Live Search can be download here from your phone: http://wls.live.com/ Look in your programs folder and see if you still have "Windows Live". If so launch it and go to menu /options / Today Screen options.
Thanks Gwelker62
Thanks for straightening me out on the differences. Hopefully helpful to others.
thanks! for those that haven't installed it or clicked the link to look at new features, besides voice recognition it also added gas prices. I haven't actually driven around to verify if they are accurate or not, but at first glance they seem pretty close
thank you so much for the heads up! the voice recognition is slick, but the new gas prices option is even better!
loving the voice recognition... you can just say the name of the place you're looking for and it'll find it.
One question on the BT GPS, will it have step by step navigation if you have a BT GPS? or does it only shows your location?
Gonna have some fun with this methinks...
And by the looks of things its gonna thrape my bandwidth allowance with Orange...
Edit: switching to aerial and zooming into my house I did 2mbyte of data in like a couple of minutes.
Edit2: Does HSDPA downloads use more battery than 3G downloads? I assume they use the same aerial, but does HSDPA use more power transmitting and receiving? I know 3G uses more than GPRS.
can't get voice recognition working here?
have I read somewhere it is a u.s only feature?
anyone in the u.k got it working?the box is greyed out on my app.
live search and gps
i just downloaded and installed the new voice recognition version of live search and paired it with my bluetooth solar gps logger and it works perfectly
to sush1a, you can do both, turn by turn directions, or it can show your location and show you (if you follow the blue line) where to go.
Hi,
I've just bought a TP2 and reading through the forum I've picked up that the TP2 is customisable.
My questions are basically
-how customisable is the TP2?? i.e. is it only themes n ringtones that can be changed or can anything be changed on the phone??
Also ive read that applications like radio dont come standard on the TP2 need to be added manually.
-how hard is it to do this and does anybody have any tutorials on how to add apps and where can i get them from??
thanks

the device isnt the variable in customization, virtually every aspect of the TP2 is customizable and as the days go by and the devs create more things the options just become greater.
the radio add is simply installing the radio cab file, takes all of 10 seconds. All you really need to do (for the most part) for different app installs is to read if they support your resolution (480x800).

so regarding customising to confirm basically got to wait for the realse of items for the phone.
is there a tutorial on how to add a cab file as this is my 1st HTC phone,,,
also where can i get these apps from pls??
thanks
O btw got another Q
the customisation of the TP2 isnt customising the phone but the windows OS is that right??
so if i find a good thing for windows OS and its for the right version and correct resolution it should work??
thanks for your help btw
there doesnt seem to be a thanks button
thanks again
Hi,
Welcome to forums.
Yes there are literaly millions of apps out there for WinMo from any category you can think of, productivity, media players / streamers, games, tools etc etc.
Most apps come in two forms, .cab file extension which can be copied to the memory on the device and run from the file manager, or .exe (the windows normally executable) these are installed on your desktop and the app is then installed to the device the next time you sync it with active sync.
Before getting too in depth, I advise you to read the Wiki, and the first post at the top of this forum. Familiarise yourself with the devices basic functions and where everything in the OS, that way you'll pick things up a lot quicker when reading through posts on the forum.
The entire OS is customisable, skins, pre-installed apps, added functionality (patching missing or poor functionality (NFFP issues) and anything else you can think. What we do here is port newer builds from newer devices to get the latest OS builds and optimisations for our current devices.
Have a good read, you'll understand a lot better.
Cheers,
Beasty

Indeed welcome to the forums.
It seems this is your first windows mobile phone? you can compare it with your windows pc a bit, only it's a bit less complex, though it still is.
On windows you can install every application that is ment for windows. As long as your system meets the system requirements of the software. It's the same with your Touch pro 2.
A lot of software has diffrent versions of their applications, each for a diffrent screen size. This reduces the size of the application (instead of installing the application for all sizes).
There are . CAB files. These are the regular installation files for you phone. Copy them to your phone and run it. (you can upload by bluetooth, but active sync is easier and faster) Then there are .exe files for mobile apps. These you install on you pc while you phone is connected via active sync. Your computer will then install it on your phone.
Now for the customisation part. This is indeed customising the OS. In the (near?) future, there will be a lot of selfmade (cooked) roms available. This goes with a lot of testing, it's the trial and error way of working.
As this is your first WM mobile?, I suggest you wait a while before customizing anything and installing custom roms. I would wait untill there are some stable roms available. Also you need to install HardSPL to make flashing (installing new Roms, and thus new OS versions) less risky. Because flashing and customizing isn't without risk.
I've been doing it quite a while (flashing) and it never went wrong, but there are also people where it did went wrong.
first off thanks beast & quarin when i get paid ill try to donate something to the site.
I'll definatly have a read into the wiki before doing anything to the phone and yes this is my 1st windows mobile so I will just it for a while to get used to it then possible start customising it.
In regards to the apps i can get apart from in this forum are there any other sites where i can download them from??
Also i do have 1 more question but its a just in case kind of question.
Ive bought the HTC sim free, 1 of my main worries is that with my Three(3) network contract SIM. I know I should be able to make calls and send text messages my query is in regards to the internet settings will they automatically be picked up via the SIM card coz when i had my iphone i had to manually put in the address for the APN and im just wondering will i have to do the same??
Thanks

Most likely, the settings will be set automaticly. If not you can set them via Settings (also automaticly). But if you have pre-paid, be carefull when the settings are set. at the moment you open a browser, youtube or other apps that use internet, internet connection will automatic establish. (sorryfor my bad language)

I was targetting the internet costs. They can add up. Don't know you country, but here you can't have internet prepaid without paying a lot of money. So you have too look out (in that case) not to use internet. And it uses internet automaticaly when using a program that's internet related.

O ok i understand now
no with my pre-paid Three(3) Sim i have an internet allowance thanks for the tip though
Location Aware is an automatic volume profile switcher.
This application works out of the data received from GSM signals.(NO CDMA)
so almost all windows mobile devices can use it.I developed it on my elf and it seems it is working
Requires GSM network, Windows Mobile , .Net CF 3.5
1. Battery Friendly, No active background process.
2. No GPS needed.
3. User configurable interval to check for location.
4. Can save settings automatically v0.3
Well it works like this: (May change per version)
1. Install it.
2. Open the Location Aware(from programs)
3. When ever you start the app it will vibrate the device 2 times and then asks "Add this Location".
4. Click OK and it prompts to save the volume level for this location and save.
5. Adjust the volume level as you desire from the Slider on right hand side of screen.
6. Then goto Menu and Save Location Mode, this should save the setting for this location(Prompt will be displayed).
7. Now you can let the application run itself every X mins to check for new location and prompt you whenever a new location is found.
8. To set the interval time goto Menu -> "Stopped" this should open up a panel to enter the interval time, fill it and click set. "Stopped" should be changed to "Running". Now you can Exit.
9. If prompt is not dismissed or OKayed within 1 min(Automode). It dismisses itself and will prompt again if new location is found after next X mins.
10. The limit for interval is 2-60 mins, that means the app will run itself after every X mins and check for location, if a new location is found it vibrates
and then asks you to save this location or not, in case you dont respond to it, it will close itself after 1 min.
and in case the location was already saved it will automatically apply the volume profile.
Basically as you keep on using it the database keeps on growing and in parallel profile settings gets more customized.
PS: You may notice that the taskbar volume indicator is not changed, but that is normal. The volume setting is still applied as per your choice this issue is fixed in v0.3
V0.2
1. No alert popup will be displayed to inform select n save the location.
2. Save the location mode directly by clicking the volume level image.
v0.3
1. Reflect the volume level changes in the taskbar volume icon
2. New mode added "AutoSave", enabling it makes the app save new location automatically with the last volume preference, whenever a new location is found.
PS. AutoSave mode works in Scheduled mode, if you have set the app to run after a scheduled interval with autosave mode enabled and it detects a new location it will prompt a message-box, if you don't give it a response i.e ignore it, it will add the location automatically after 1 min and will dismiss itself.
for users of previous versions:
It will use the already existing database of location settings, just install it over the previous version.
PCBuddy
This app is used to plot all the collected points by the location aware app on google maps.
Unzip the files and then copy the locations.db file from your device to the same folder on your system. Once the file has been copied Run CreateMap.exe this should generate a html file in the same folder. Run that and see for yourself
Please replace the dll in PCBuddy with the one in 64Bit.zip in case you are using a 64Bit Windows
Suggested setting:
For the first time I suggest to keep the interval at around 5 mins so that it can grab almost all the desired locations. once you feel it is having settings for your daily use u may turn the interval to a higher(suggested 15 mins) so that it can apply the volume settings for the known locations.
SUPPORT LATE NIGHTS- DONATE!
No comments???
Great idea !
By using GSM signal to get your position you avoid to use the gps which take more time to get position + a little battery consumption.
We certainly can find a lot of functions linked to this automatic profile/location system
I will try your app

but suggestions are always welcome
Great Concept!!!!
Just saw your P.S. that the volume icon will not change accordingly...but it works as intended. (Please Fix) Is there a radius on the set locations? I work across the street from our main mall, is why I ask.
I love this concept as I saw the other O.S. had a similar app. (Sweet Dreams)

Hi djyosnow,
understood your concerns about the radius thing but thaz not in myhands as that thing is dependent on lot of factors like, your disance from tower, signal strength etc. But still you may experiment if you get new location alert in case you are at your office.
n yes this is really nice ~PLUR~

Some modification in GUI and user interaction
Re mohitsapru,
i tested your app on my HD, it worked well
I have one suggestion to ease the way we can use it, an option like 'Save the actual sound profile automatically when a new unknown position is found'
Then we can move without thinking about it but it will be good as an enabled/disabled option.
Good job !

Does this app able to detect the change of location if the device switched off(suspended) by power button?
For example:
1. Save volume setting at location A and location B
2. At location A, press power button to turn off the device
3. Move the device from location A to location B
4. Will the volume be changed automatically (without turning on the device) at location B?

I have run it on my Samsung I900 Omnia and i think it works perfect.
But here some ideas:
It would be great if you can add 2 or more cells to 1 location (Because i have here to cells at home, and if I use UMTS 3G i had another one)
If you write the cell id a little bit greater.
And expert mode were you add name for cells (i see this wish earlier here, too), and can add more things.

Hi,
Try to do wm6.5.3 app for active applications, like the ArkSwith one. But my idea was that it is only use for switching between active applications.
How to get info of active applications in my own application.
Can i do it like first check all windows with GetWindow and then use GetWindowThreadProcessId?
How can i found info of the process after get id?
Or is there any other way to do this?

Hi,
You can download the rar's. They contain the xap. You can use any dev-unlocked device (also non-HTC). This was quite a reversing-adventure. I learned a lot.
A few remarks:
- This is not the latest version of the HTC Hub. It does not have the live-tile. Maybe I'll update later.
- I had to rewrite some parts of the code. It all works 100% but I think it can be done better, so maybe I'll update that later.
- Note the about screen
Word! It works but it still *****es about not being able to reach HTC's service. Great job regardless Heathcliff.
EDIT: The wild thing about it is, I can actually reach into HTC's section of the Marketplace through this app. That's crazy.
want to try
but I am getting errors unzipping with 7zip, what is the way you guys are successful with?

Good work. Works on my Omnia7, the graphics look like sh*t though on my lovely screen
I don't get any errors or anything here - weather/time/location all work great. As fb401 says - you can access the HTC Marketplace, but you can access any Marketplace app as long as you know the ProductID.
Does access to the other apps from the marketplace on the phone allow use of the excellent HTC flashlight app or any additional HTC apps?

No, it won't work. You can try to install, but the program will try to use the HTC drivers and hardware, and it will quit. These programs need (a lot of) work to get running on other devices. Look here and here.

I guess you're asking this to be able to get provxml working. Well, that's not really possible. Because the HTC Connection Setup calls the HTC drivers which will in turn process the provxml. So I would be able to get the HTC Connection Setup running, but it will not be able to call the driver on non-HTC devices. I guess in time we'll find the necessary security holes to get in the TCB chambers to execute these types of code and config files.
The OEM drivers are very usefull, because they provide (limited) access to the high-privilege TCB-chambers. The drivers contain hardware-specific functions and non-hardware-specific functions. Those non-hardware-specific functions (like registry- and file-system-access) are the most interesting for us. The drivers can be called from unmanaged code, which in turn can be called by managed code through a com-interface. But since we have no way to port drivers between devices (yet), those non-hardware-specific functions remain device-specific for now.

The drivers can be called from unmanaged code, which in turn can be called by managed code through a com-interface. But since we have no way to port drivers between devices (yet), those non-hardware-specific functions remain device-specific for now.

Thanks for the response. I asked because the Samsung Connection Setup app doesn't support my network, so I can't configure or use MMS. I know that the HTC Connection Setup app does however, so I want to use it to configure my network settings. Do you think this is possible (I didn't understand everything you said, so sorry if this is a silly question)?

Hmm.. I don't know about that. HTC Connection Setup is not a solution, because you don't have the necessary drivers on your device. Samsung has a set of predefined xml's in the \windows folder. Every country has it's own xml with the settings of the known network operators. There is a trick to configure one of these. Info is in this thread. But I'm not sure if there is an xml on your phone that contains the info for your network operator. Good luck.

Haha. Well, I haven't taken a look at that one. But I can assure you that reversing a Windows Phone Silverlight app is a very complex task. I have done this once, so I could maybe do it again. Depends on how much of the HTC driver has to be rewritten for that app. But I probably won't do that very soon. The truth is that I did this mainly to learn about the inner works of Windows Phone and Silverlight. And I have a couple of other 'projects' I'm working on, so I want to focus on that. Maybe someone else will pick up the task for the Youtube app.
thx Heathcliff74

At this moment we have no way to exchange drivers from different OEMs. Read my post earlier in the thread. Maybe I'll have a look at the Youtube app, but don't count on it. I'm very busy.
Works great on my omnia7!!!! What will happened if i will update hub via marketplace?
