Hello everybody...
This Message I left on an other thread for someone who asked for experience in using this app on a wm 6+ system:
"Just tested pocket Radiologist v2 on a stock 6.5 system of the htc HD2 and ready to revive this thread by now!
1. ADOCE had to be installed - otherwise the executable of the the app ****s up the executing.
2. installation of adoce is a bit tricky ... switch the OS-language (wm5 or 6 or 6.5) to englisch (british) if you use a foreign system. finally restart & install ADOCE. no matter if you switch back to your native language after installation.
3. start pocket radiologist - works but...
4. on the thc hd2 the font/character size is wrong. the toolbar/list which should be docked on the bottom of the screen floats about the half of it. trying to switch the screen to landscape with bsb tools doesnt work. I'm very sorry for this now!
5. Tried WVGA Fix 4 already - the characters' still far too big..."
Anyone's got an idea how to fix this character a/o resolution-problem?
Hope someone can help in the end.
I'm using the palm version on the palm emulator, works ok. the images are not great
this is interesting as i was just trying to install an older version (for wm5) but was having no luck. states it installs, but cannot find any evidence on the phone that it is there. did you a) install ADOCE and b) then transfer the pocketradiologist .exe and run it from the phone?

I did only the install procedure as described. first adoce, second the needed module. i installed it on main memory. execution after installation in that order made me no pain. i didn't transfer anything at all.
hope someone can solve the problem with this software...
Install completed succesfully, but I have the same problem as ppcppcppc (TS), so I hope someone can give input about a possible solution??
Hello all,
I have found WORKING little app to save CABs from MarketPlace. You can download the app here:
http://blog.idlezone.org/post/2010/01/11/Windows-Mobile-MarketPlace-:-choose-where-to-install
(use fixed version posted in the comments of the article: http://blog.idlezone.org/public/DarkApps/DarkCABCatcherInstaller_quickfix.CAB)
Awsome, thanks for posting ! =d
Thank you So So So Much
Will
Works it also for paid apps?
doesnt work for me.
Awsome, How do you work this thing.
When I run DarkCABCatcher, I have set fom folder to \.\Application Data\Volatile to \.\My Documents.
The DarkCABCatcher application shows the following:
MKP5C5036.cab OK!
MKP5C5036.cab installed.
MKP5C5036.cab started.
MKP5C5036.cab copy Ok.
When I look in my \.\My Documents folder there is no .cab file collected.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Richard
Thanks !
I never used MarketPlace yet, but just in case, I'll keep that trick handy and try it.
I don't understand their position on "piracy", since I generally only use free software...
When it's not free, I buy the licenses, but since I'm flashing a lot these months, I really doubt MarketPlace would recognize my device next time I log on, so this trick may be unvaluable... Just to keep access to what I had legally bought.
Thanks for this, but unfortunately on cooked WM6.5 portuguese ROM it doesn't work. I confirmed that I have NetFW3.5 installed so I don't know what's wrong:
What a pity - don´t work at all on T-Mobile Vario V (HTC TouchPro2) with Windows Mobile 6.5.
Sometimes it write the cab is copied - but can´t find it in the destination folder.
Sometimes it just don´t show anything.
Yours

Cool app, didn't work
The critical thing this app shows is where the temporary CAB files are downloaded when installing from the Marketplace app.
Just open this folder in Windows Explorer while the phone is connected to your device. You have to turn on "view hidden and system folders" to see the folder on your phone.
Wait and watch the folder during the install. It will create a CAB file, which will get an icon as soon as the file is finished writing to the device. Quickly copy the file off the phone onto your computer.
(I have installed z-zip and associated CAB files with the program, which is why I get a nice icon as soon as the download has finished.)

Is there anyone in San Diego that could install a fast, smooth and reliable version of Android on my HD2? If so, please let me know when you can do it and for how much $.
I spend my time between coastal North County and Chula Vista.
Thanks

It's so simple. Why on Earth would you pay someone to do it?
You download the one that looks best to you from HD2 Android Development, unzip it, and put the Android folder onto your sd card.
Not inside any folders on your card, just on the card.
Then in Windows Mobile, you go to your file explorer, go into the Android folder on your sd card, tap CLRCAD (nothing will happen, thats ok just tap it each time you start Android) and then tap Haret.
It really is as simple as putting a folder onto your sd card.
Just do it yourself. If you manage to screw it up, it won't mess up your phone and somebody on this forum will take pity on you and show you where you messed up
don't forget to flash a newer radio!

I started this thread because I had just discovered that I can't do the install on my mac with an emulator. I really need to do it myself just so I know how to do it so I don't have to hassle finding someone to do updates. Sooooo, I'm doing a clean install on an old Windows machine just to get this done.
Are there simple non-developer instructions anywhere on how to do this? I've had two people tell me how simple this is but the instructions on this forum don't seem that simple with terms like "flash, etc. What does the term "flash" mean?

It's called that because of the type of memory. Anyway, it basically means install. "Flashing" a new radio means you're installing a different version while overwriting the existing one.
HOW TO FLASH:
Use "CustomRUU.exe" to flash the file (.nbh file extension). Phone must be connected and have >50% battery. If the CustomRUU.exe isn't included, download here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=239860&d=1256298258
Step 1 - HSPL3 must be installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6891358&postcount=1893
The .zip attached to this must be extracted and installed. Simple enough, no?
Step 2 - Flash a new Radio ROM.
I recommend the newest one (2.15.50.14)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
Step 3 (OPTIONAL) - New Windows Mobile ROM
I put optional because Android will run without a different one, it just might not be as well. Download the "RELOADED 3" one in red. I use this one. Flash the same way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776971
Step 4 - Download Android flavor of your choice and copy it onto your SD card. I recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870518
Step 5 - Go into WM, navigate to the Android folder on the root of your SD, and click CLDCAD.exe (nothing will happen, this is normal) then click haret.exe
Step 6 - Celebrate.
If you need any help, feel free to message me.
No can do with any Virtual Machine on Macintosh?
Just use the newest official.They come with a newer radio.
If you cant flash with your mac extract the file and copy the nbh file as leoimg.nbh in the root of your SD.
Start the phone with vol down and let it flash.

Instead of a virtual machine (is it Parallels?) why not use BootCamp, then you have a full Windows os on your mac - and you can flash.
I'll see if I can borrow a mac again and test flashing via Parallels.
I would love to help you for free - you just have to spend a plane ticket from Denmark (with lots of snow and freezing temperature) ;-)

On the few times I have run Windows on a Mac (via Parallels and Bootcamp), it runs really well. It just goes to show that the main problems with Windows is that of the sloppy drivers for the hardware that the hardware manufacturors provide. Since Apple only have a couple of computers, therefore they can afford to take time to develop device drivers for Windows.
Just to clarify please and sorry to be asking lame questions...
1) Is this true? "The best most reliable Froyo ROM for the HD2 is the 2.2.1 Custom Nexus HD2-FRG83D V1.8 Froyo ROM. Very stable and everything works perfectly." Is that accurate?
2) Are you saying that I can do the entire install of everything on my Mac with an emulator (VMWare Fusion) as long as I do it the way you describe?
3) Are you saying that I should change the name of the nbh file to leoimg.nbh and then drop it into my SD card?
4) My HD2 came with Android on it but it runs slow and clunky and won't make calls, etc. Its basically unusable so I'm assuming it wasn't installed correctly. There is nothing on the SD card that I care about. Should I format the SD card before starting the new build? And is there anything on the Windows side that I should delete first before starting too?
Thanks again.

I would be willing to pay somebody for simple step by step clear non-nerdy instructions on how to install this stuff (Android, reformat SD card to FAT32, radio, etc., etc.) Seriously! You know, Step 1: Do this ya moron. Step 2: Now put this file named this in here idiot. Step 3: Now do this retard, etc.
Here are some more questions please...
1) What is the difference between a "sense" build and a "non-sense" build? Advantages, disadvantages?
2) When I plug the usb from my hd2 into my computer I don't see or recognize what is the SD card folder and I don't know where to install what I'm supposed to install. Here is what I see...
Removable Disk (E) > Application Data folder > HTC folder > databases folder > DocExp folder (with all this stuff in the DocExp folder: flintlock, postlist, postlist.baseB, record.baseA, termlist, termlist.baseB, iamflint, post.baseA, record, record.baseB, termlist.baseA)
...and next to the Application Data folder above there is also this: EncFiltLog.menc
and this is also in the HTC folder too...
ImageCache folder > DocExp folder (which is empty)
Thanks again.

OK, when you first start up your phone, and there are little red numbers and stuff down it the corner, look next to the letter 'R'
If it is X.XX.50.XXXX, then you're OK and don't need to change radio's and the process is very simple. (The X's can be any number, doesn't matter, as long as the 3rd set as shown are 50, not 51 or anything else.) So if it's 50, don't worry about the signed_ruu.nbh file or leoimg.nbh or flashing a radio. If it's not 50, you will need to change radio.
Next, when you plug the phone to your computer, the place where you find the 'Application Data' folder and the file 'EncFiltLog.menc', that is the root of your sd card. That is where the Android folder that you download and unzip will go.
So you will download the nicest looking build that you like the best, it will be in a .zip or .7z archive. You open the archive and take the 'Android' folder out and place it on your desktop. Then you drag it and drop it right next to your 'Application Data' folder. Don't put it in the 'Application Data' folder, just in the same place where that folder is at.
Removeable Disk E is your memory card, the root of the card simply means just on the card, not within any folders on the card, just on the card. That's where the Android folder goes, on the root of the card.
As far as Sense vs. No-Sense builds, Sense is maybe a little more user(noob) friendly, but it uses more of your phone's resources, so sometimes tends to lag (slow down, run slow) more than a no-sense build. For you, I would say try a Sense build first. Once you have installed one build, you will become more confident and really see how easy it is. Then you can experiment with different builds and see what is best for you.
After you have put the Android folder on the root of your sd card, alls there is left to do is to use the File Explorer on your phone to find the Android folder on your sd card, go inside that folder, first tap CLRCAD (it won't appear to do anything, but it actually enables sound in Android) (if your phone says the application is not from a trusted source,and asks do you want to continue, just click 'yes') and then tap Haret, a box will appear with a progress bar, and then Android will boot up (start).
The first time you run an Android build, it can take up to 15 minutes to start up. This is normal, just give it a while.
Then when it starts up, enter all the data it asks for (GMail, email addresses, etc. nothin major) and then when you have finished with that, and you end up at the phone's Android homescreen, hold the 'End Call' button, and choose 'reboot' and if there's no reboot option, just choose 'shut down' and then restart Android the same way as before. For some reason, rebooting after the first time like that actually helps Android to run more stable over the long term.
If you follow these instructions exactly as I have written them, you cannot fail. Now go, and enjoy Android
No need to pay me, just remember the 'thanks' button

I think you prove my point quite well... Macs are pretty much a single entity unto themselves. What Apple says, goes. Nothing else is acceptable. If you are prepared to be so limited then go ahead and stay with Apple products - they are for those who think they have imagination but are actually fooled into a "groupthink".
Huggs! Thank you very much for taking the time to explain that to me.
I installed Android and added my info (email address, etc.) and then restarted it like you said to do. Of course Windows loads first and when I tap the Android icon to launch Android it says: "The file Android cannot be opened. Either 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." Since this phone had Android on it when I bought it last week (but it didn't work properly), I'm assuming that is the old Android launcher?? I did reformat the SD card via the Windows side of the phone before I installeded Android just now. Can you or anyone please tell me how I can get Android to launch now?
Thanks again.
Steve
UPDATE: I opened the Android folder and tapped CLRCAD and then HARET again and got the same error message as I explained above when I tap the Android icon. Also, and maybe this is normal since I'm still in Windows, but when I try to open any of the other files in the same folder (like INITRD, ROOTFS, etc., I get an error message that says: "There is no application associated with XXXXX. Run the application first, then open this file from within the application."
Another question please: The guy I bought this phone from was using T-Mobile but I'm going to use Simple Mobile. Does doing all the stuff I just did unlock this phone or do I still need to use an unlock code when I insert the sim card? (I will need to call Simple Mobile to activate the new Simple Mobile sim card in order to transfer my existing number over to this HD2)
Install this .cab in WinMo (install to device not sd)
Soft reset device (just fully off n then on, not factory reset)
try running Android again
Sounds like your phone just doesn't trust Haret, this should make it relax a little
let me know how it goes, it should work for ya
I'm mostly a business user and neither Android or WP7 can fully do what poor little 6.5 can do as of now.
I did search this & saw in a link in:
HTC Leo: HD2HD2 Windows Phone 7HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A and General
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922030
but I thought that since 6.5 would have to be ported to an SD card, this topic shoould be in HD2 6.5 section? So I thought I'd start a thread here for any news or updates....
I know Cotulla/DFT is working on it. I would imagine there'd be a great interest in this. I personally can't wait.
Also a Question:
If/when it is ported, would a ROM have to be specifically made for each port i.e. Dutty ROM or KWBR ROM or would you be able to drop any ROM onto SD card?
I guess with 300,000+ subscribers I'm the only one....

"poor little 6.5 can do as of now"....
well in my opinion it's not., my 6.5 is a BEAST! thats why i didnt switch yet to wp7 or android.. winmo 6.5 is the main source of everything stable and fast.. without it there will be no wp7 and android on our hd2..
Hi, I also would like this to happen, as i have inported WP7 to my HD2 which is good but lacks good apps.
As for WP7 im looking for a good sat nav like Tomtom and Copilot live 8, but they both say that they are not making one for WP7.
Thats why I would like to run WP7 and have a SD bootable WM6.5 for Tomtom or Copilot which I had before on my HD2 WM6.5
So please can someone make one
I to think being able to boot Window Mobile 6.5 from SD would be really awsome. We all know that the DFT has annouced they are working on makeing this possible but I beleive this is going to be even harder and take much longer than Andriod did. You have to take into consideration the meir size of the Windows Mobile 6.5 OS is so much bigger than other OS's. So compiling all the code to work in a SD format is going to take time.But if anyonr can do it the DFT are the ones. I really wish there was something I could do to help those vuys out with this venture, but I am not versed enough with writting and compiling code yet to be of any real assistance.
Kudoes to the DFT and all thier hard work.
wm6.5 to sd card
hi,
this is exactly what i wish, i hav tried wp7 on hd2 android sd version, but what makes wm6.5 as my preferd os is
- wm6.5 is less dependant on cellular data connectivity
-ease of access to file system through file explorer and total commonder, though android has evolved from very little to a lot better explore but still u cant beat the wm6.5
- a lot of file and work can be accessed & edited if u wish to work offline
- wp7 & android have made user more dependant on online storage of documents & programs so i feel like being dependant on the online storage
- Most important point is that the progrem setup cabs can be saved on the device and it gives the ease and conveniance to install mod or work back to user coustomization without the need to connect to the desktop/laptop or data connection.
So all in all wm6.5 is still preferable as a choice as one of the os if there is dual boot(in my case wp7&wm6.5 dual boot)
all i can say is though i do like wp7 but until it gives evolves to the freedom & ease offer wm6.5 i think we feel the need of having wm6.5 sd port/rom.
if any developer will be working on porting wm6.5 to sd card i will be happy to contribute to him.
Please if any developer is already doing so then kindly point me to that place
My gut feeling is this won't happen :-(

@pinkjpr: there's a solution for your last problem, though it's a bit complicated. Install your program via the marketplace. Then also need ASTRO file manager (probably other tools, maybe even free ones, will be suitable as well). Now go to tools-->SD-Backup Manager (or something like that, can't remember the name). Chose the program you want to backup, click the "save" button (or similarly named). Now you can use the search function to look up your newly created apk (distinguish between them via date of creation). Tap and hold +send via mail or connect your phone to the PC and copy the apk on your computer.
The first step (Backup Manager) isn't always necessary.

Anon1811:-
My friend, u r missing my point,. please correct me if i m wrong, but apk files are for android os, just like the cab files in wm6.x, and i am referring about wm6.x & wp7,
secondly most of the android applications are web based and advertizement sponcered so u need a working data connection to use most of them (i m not saying all of them). & that brings u back to working internet data, and if u are in a remote location where u dont have network then u hav only limited functionality& cant use most of apps, so the device is more like a flash light or a paper waight,
finally about customization, i am not saying backup restoration, i am saying a fresh installation with what ever apps u want to use again and leave the ones u dont wish to,
and lastly u are saying to connect to PC/Laptop, so again u must carry ur laptop with you so u back to the dependence on PC & data connectivity
i think u havent explored windows mobile for long so u are underestimating its potential compared to android
First off, I'm running Windows 7 64 bit which has a some kind of new file sharing options. My G Tab is loaded up with the latest version of DRH's ICS rom.
On my old XP machine everything was very simple. I selected a folder I wanted to share and BAM! it popped up in ES File Explorer when I selected my computer from the scan.
Now, when I run a scan I'll get this: A bunch of folders I can't open because I "Don't have the permissions. None of which have any of my media or docs in them anyway. The one folder I can ( users)open contains two subs... Default which contains a lot of empty folders and public which is the same thing with .ini files.
So here are my questions.
What am I doing wrong here?
and
Is there any way to add it to the homegroup?
File sharing under Windows 7 has been a nightmare for many people.
You might try the steps located here...

Thank you for your help.
NO problem.
As I said, Windows 7 has been a big problem for many people who want to use SMB filesharing.
I also work with a group that uses the Boxee Box Media device. SO many people have issues sending their movie, tv shows and music from their Windows 7 computer to the TV device.
Glad I was able to help
