[Maybe] QuickGPS alternative for Android - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General

Did a small research on XTRA and perhaps this might help us. I still have QuickGPS fresh, another 6 days to go, and then without updating it will try GpsFix to see if it helps ... anyways try and let us know .... http://www.appbrain.com/app/gpsfix/c...roidlab.gpsfix
This thing works on HD2 and some other WinMo devices when running Android!
UPDATE: With above situation I got fix in less than 10 seconds.

This was already posted in a thread, that has fallen down a few pages IIRC.
It's not actually affixing the agps data to the radio like QuickGPS does. There is no interface for XTRA to work - so agps in Android is broken, same applies to HD2.
As I asked in the other thread before you decided this needed a new thread... this app only keeps the radio up, it does not do anything like QuickGPS does in relation to agps. There is an app that does - GPS Test, but without XTRA being functional it's pretty useless, other than to confirm if you indeed have a lock or not .

Understood, if you are sure about this then perhaps mod can take this tread down. Thanks.

Well I'm positive the XTRA interface isn't present - so agps is definitely broken.
I'm also fairly confident this app simply keeps the GPS radio on so that apps don't fail out when trying to get a fix... that app has nothing to do with agps - read the link you posted .
However, there is an app called GPS Test - that when we get the XTRA interface working will actually be a replacement app for QuickGPS from what I can tell.

Known Issues with new Cingular ROM (2.06.502.3)

Not to be redundant with other threads, but to compile in one place, maybe we can list in this thread the known issues in the new Cingular ROM, with links to the other threads where solutions/ideas are being discussed. Some of those which come to mind are the following:
Goodlink Integration with Dialer not Working
PIE Proxy Issues (and related VPN troubles)
SD Card Not Reading Correctly
Disappearance of SmartDialer ... which should be fixable with the cab file located here.
Additionally, know helpful registry tweaks are being (and should be) compiled here
And finally, some helpful fixes/mods:
PTT Fix - to take back control over the PTT button (especially useful if you don't plan to use PTT)
BandSwitch - to manage your connections (and thereby increase battery life)
Well, this is just a start.
What are the SD problems? I haven't run into anything yet...
Check the link I provided on the first post.. many folks (myself included) have intermittent problems where the directories on the card are no longer visible (until after a soft reset and/or removal and re-insertion of the card).
Bummer. I hope that doesn't hapen to me. But if this XDA-Lives ROM is released, hopefully I won't be using Cingular's (AT&T's) 2.06 ROM much longer!
Some, including myself, have lost SmartDialer.
I'm trying to find a solution.

Yeah, I have this problem too. Luckily I've been using the E-Ten Dialer, so I'm not used to the Smart Dialer. But it'd be nice if I had it available, since I'm not using E-Ten anymore.
A lot of people use PTTfix. Might want to put a shortcut to sleuth's thread, as his latest release apparently fixes the issues with it. (I'll post it if I happen to stumble across it in my journies of trying to catch up with the latest posts.)

Yes, but is that really an issue or a feature? I am sure Cingular would consider it a feature, but everyone knows it's total crap.
Smart Dialer coment:
Some are having issues with new ROM and no smart dialer. I had no problems, but I also know that installing ETen Big Button Dialer (available at 8525software.com) disables Smart Dialer. So I tested it. Install ETen and as supposed too, no smart dial. Then I unistall ETen and the smart dial is back working ok. Also in the phone screen the right soft key has an option for the Smart Dialer, make sure it is turned on.
Now if anyone can get ETEN to work WITH smartdial, that would be cool.
I could not get E-Ten to work with SmartDial, though purportedly you can... see link here for discussion on this issue.
If you do get it working, an easy step-by-step would be appreciated!

Heh.. I definitely consider it an issue.. Cingular does say feature no doubt, but I should still have the ability to remap that button. Hence the reason I suggested it.
I added it to the first page (which I am updating as folks add thoughts)

No the zip with the cab has the smartdialer and the ETEN buttons.

QuickGPS under WM6.1 and DCD 2.1

I get a "failed to create empty document" using quickgps under the new WM6.1 DCD rom 2.1. I tried the registry hack and verified that the region says US. Is this just incompatible with this version of WM at this point? Still uncertain if it really helps with initial lock but would like to try. Thanks.

i am not familiar with quickgps and im just guessing here, but does it require sqlcemobile maybe?
Use the patched quickgps and registry settings here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1862269&postcount=2
You will need registry edditing software such are resco to import the reg file. I used to use the free PHM regedit, but it is not capable of importing .reg files. So I installed Resco file explorer/registry editor and it is well worth the $25.
i stuck these into the original cab here:

Thanks guys, I did use the one on the referenced thread but I will try the new cab. thanks.
Thanks DCD, you da man. That cab worked awesome. will see if it helps cold start gps lock. I am loving my new Mogul more and more every day much of it thanks to you and this forum. Your WM6.1 ROM is sweet and the help I've gotten here has been great. Thanks.

thank you, but please thank TalynOne for this one, all I did is drag and drop a couple files he was nice enough to provide.
Well let's see, the program dumps ephemeris data to a file called: xtra.bin
If you grep the gps drivers (and or the entire roms we use) you will find ZERO references to this file. So, congragulations, you're running a program which is entirely worthless on our device with our current drivers.
Just in case someone didn't understand that, this is not supported by our gps driver, it does nothing for us.
Yeah, if QuickGPS data is actually used on a cold GPS boot is unknown. That's why I wrote the warning in the FAQ that it hasn't been verified that QuickGPS actually does anything. A couple of people indicated that it does, but it may be due to a soft reset. I'm wondering shadowmite, do you know if there are any references to the xtra.bin file in the Kaiser GPS drivers?
I'm trying to determine that now, unless this quickgps app loads it directly into the gps's memory (which is possible, there is a reference to the port in the exe file) it doesn't do anything. I'm taking it apart trying to decide.
after playing a little more, it seems i am not getting a fix any faster, but i am picking up more sats- 10 now, ive always seen 4-6 before. but, maybe its just the conditions outside? im awaiting shadowmite's results.
It seems to be making a big difference for me. After a soft reset I'm getting an initial lock in tomtom in under 10 seconds indoors. Prior to running download in the exe it was taking a few minutes if it would get an indoor lock at all.
i'm too lazy right now to go outside and test this. just wondering if this is a standalone app that activates gps, or if it just updates sat data. i've gotta go grab some food soon so i might just find my answer.
Supposed to just download satellite position data I believe to help lock faster but as Shadowmite said, it is still unclear if it helps on the Titan.
Hey Shadowmite, firstly I just want to thank you also for everything you have done for all of the smartphone groups. I have been a big fan since your days on the treocentral forums helping us all with the Treos. The quickgps may be just a placebo effect but I never used to be able to start up a native gps satellite sync indoors in my home office. I used to have to go outside to start up then come inside and it would sometimes keep a satellite or two locked. Now I can get initial sync inside even after a cold start. I do notice that occasionally I have to soft reset to get the GPS kick started as it occasionally isn't recognized by TomTom even using the astrogpslauncher app. Obviously this isn't scientific and I will wait to see what your dissection shows. Thanks for working on this. One other question for you programmers, would it be feasible to create some kind of external LED sequence or task bar icon that would indicate that the GPS is active and/or locked on satellites? Right now it requires an app. I know you guys aren't just sitting around waiting for people to suggest new functionality but it's just an idea to throw out there. Thanks again.
I don't think it will help, while both Titan and devices like Kaiser use Qualcomm MSMs, they do so in completely different ways. The CDMA gpsOne spec doesn't need to know what satellites are in the sky... it can pull that data from the network.
I think the major GPS delays on Titan are bugs in the radio stack... HTC has never tried to enable gpsOne on CDMA2000 before, and there are likely to be many bugs. If there weren't, well, we would have had GPS on the Harrier.

Geez, bump.

GPS Not working, am I missing something...

First off let me say GREAT JOB by DCD and Co... I'm a former 6700 user (used to mod over at PPC6700users) and just recently upgraded to the Mogul... I'm new to the whole kitchen thing and with ease was able to use the new kitchen 2.3.0... Again, thanks to DCD and all other who contributed... I cannot begin to express how much we all appreciate the hard work and support you guys provide us...
Now to the question:
As mentined earlier, I have recently updated to 2.3.0 and as well updated the radio to 3.27.00... For some reason I am not able to get a lock with GPS... Can any one assist...?
I'm not sure if I missed something somewhere (the search feature in this forum is not the greatest). I have searched high and low with no luck...
Thanks in advance...
1st time take long time, u need to leave it outside running for 30 minutes and connect using GPS Immediate Driver.
Also, try making a couple of calls from your Mogul and let it connect to the call for a couple of minutes. Mine wouldn't get a lock until I made a phone call. Maybe, it needs to register your location thru whatever cell site it connects thru. Although, that's just my own opinion, not really sure, but after I made a few calls, Google maps found me in less than a minute.

I didn't know it would take that long... I had read previous post where people said it connected within a minute but sure enough I set it by the window went and had dinner and there they were, 4 pretty little satelites waiting for me when I checked...
I guess I was too impatient... ;O)
Thanks to both for the advise... Let me learn my way around this mogul and who know's, maybe one day I can return the favor...

You can always warm up the GPS with software.
GPSLAUNCHER is to warm up the GPS to work with Tom Tom. This application launches Tom Tom after it warms up the GPS.
Just extract and copy to your device -- \windows\start menu\programs
GPSVIEWER1.5 is for other applications such as google maps and so on.
This one is installed through your computer ( I believe )
If you need assistance feel free to ask.
Excellent... I'll give it a try...
Does 2.3.0 have aPGS enabled by default?
If not, go to HLKM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS
Set GPSMode to 4
Also, I would find and install QuickGPS.
Give that a shot and see if it speeds up your locks
Got GPS Working on VZW XV6800
I followed all the instructions:
Installed latest Unlocker (Hard-SPL-240-MFG.exe)
Installed latest Radio (Titan_Radio_3.27.00.exe )
Install DCD 2.3.1 (downloaded from this link): Size=37.16Mb
http://www.fileshex.com/download.php?file=1426af0da72a82fe758300e3980f7520
Got everything up and running. (Following directions from XDA forums)
Couldn't make a phone call. Send an SMS, or search the net on IE.
Figured out I needed to call Verizon for an A-key. (Authentication Key)
She asked why i needed it and I told her "i am doing some Windows Mobile sftware developing and had to do multiple HARD resets throughout the day). She said no prob and talked me through the A-key entry using ##778(I think its that. dont worry, CS will talk you through without hesitation.
Anyway. make sure you write the A-key down when customer service gives it to you cause its suppose to be the one assigned to your Phone number and should work every time you need to enter it. If it doesn't then just call them back and give them the same story and they will give you another A-key.
that fixed the data connection problem.
BTW: upgrading the Software deleted my Data connection password and user name.
Password is (Your 10 digit [email protected]) password is (VZW).
NOW, i am back to working conditions and DCD 2.3.1 is awesome.
Love the Iphone style SMS conversation format. Lets you view each conversation you have with a person in a straight separate list of texts. no more need to hop back and forth between Sent Box and Inbox to decipher conversations.
SO, everything works EXCEPT GPS. had all the settings right. like Location ON in Setting, Phone, Services Tab, Click on Location Settings, Get Settings, select "Location ON". Had Com 5 selected on software in external GPS settings. Hardware set to "None" 4800 Baud. Still nothing.
Google Maps keeps showing that its searching for satellites but to no avail.
Finally, came across a post about a free program called "GPS Today" Looked cool so gave it a shot.
Sure as **** it worked immediately. Got 5 satellites connected and there was the little blue dot on top of my house!!! YEEE HAAA
After a little trial and error i figured out the program.
Still i wanted Google Maps to work with GPS.
BA BA BA BAAAAAAA! I turned on Google Maps and all of a sudden it picked up 5 satellites and I was up and running.
Bottom line, I think GPS Today did something and it got Google Maps to start using GPS.
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PUT UP AWESOME POSTS.
I think I might be retarded...
I did everything I think I was supposed to do, I unlocked, flashed the radio, then flashed DCD's ROM...
My screen says:

Radio Version 3.27.00
but, I can't get the GPS to work with TomTom6...
I tried using the GPSLauncher, AstroGPSLauncher, and QuickGPS...
Any ideas?

Everything seems to be in order now... Thanks everyone for all the advise... Now I'm going to play around and find an app that I like... I've tried TomTom (don't like it)... GoogleMaps is very basic but to be honest I'm looking for something a bit basic but functional as well which gMaps is not that functional as a GPS software plus it downloads from the net which seems to be a bit laggy... I'll find something but suggestions are welcome too...

When asking for help, would it be helpful to let others know what you are looking for in a GPS software? Basic but functional isn't a very good description.
TomTom6 paired with AstroGPSLauncher is a great combination. I don't have to start GMaps or other program to get the GPS going, I have GPS that doesn't have to have a data connection, for when I'm in the U.P. and there is no signal.
GoogleMaps is Basic in the sense that it is a 2D Map, which I like for use on the phone... Let's face it, this phone has a lot going on in the background besides just the GPS and Map app which to me makes it a bit slow and less responsive than normal when trying to process the graphical 3D maps... I don't need 3D mapping, virtual views or anything like that... A 2D Map is perfect... but GooleMaps lacks TTS, a decent search engine, Route recalculation, etc... which are characteristics of a good GPS unit... I like MioMaps for the fact that you can change your means of trasportation from car to bus to taxi to bike to pedestrian, etc, etc, etc... These types of options make more sence to me on a mobile device such as our phones since we could be traveling and need to switch from one means to another...
I'm going to look into MioMaps and see... but in the mean time, if anyone has other suggestions or experience with MioMaps on the Titan, your input would be greatly valued...
Keep on cookin'...

Hey... I think I remember you as "davidew98" on PPC6700users... am I right? We had all kinds of fun trying to dissect the 6700 through QPST... still have the thread bookmarked in Firefox.
I'll throw in a plug for Odyssey Mobile (http://www.infogation.com) as a navigation program that I really like. It came bundled with my Holux GPSlim 236 BT unit that I bought after I gave up on getting internal GPS to work with the 6700. The only thing it's missing that the others like TomTom have is text-to-speech... it doesn't say "Turn right on Main Street" but instead just says "Turn right in 200 feet". Other than that it does everything else really well.
And, I have had zero problems with it working with the 6800's internal GPS... just point Odyssey at COM port 4 and it just works... no launcher or "priming" required.

Post #1 updated with new Rom.

This worked perfectly with my Telstra HTC Touch dual (Neon) device.
For any other newbies like me, this is all I did-
Took my brand new Telstra Australia Touch Dual.
Installed the Neon Hard-spl here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377260&highlight=neon
Then just installed the rom in this thread. It works great, though i've lost my Office Mobile apps.
I had no sound at all on the first boot, but after reboot (and it does tell you to reboot again) everything was fine.
Thanks! And I look forward to trying your future releases.
woops one issue
An update on my install, I did actually end up having issues where as soon as a call was made or received all sound stopped working (which obviously makes calls a problem)
As per the original post, installing the updated Radio which took me from version .15 to .17 seems to have fixed this problem.
So are you saying that this ROM doesn't have
* video calling
* office apps
* or SOLITAIRE!?
Can they be installed afterwards or anything?
Cheers
jbng
Okay so I freaked a little when the camera stopped working and my guitar tuner wouldn't work, but it turned out I had to update the radio and that fixed both problems. It does seem to be smoother too.
Office apps are there, solitaire is there, but alas no video calling.
Can you get a third party app to do that, or will we have to re-flash the ROM if and when you add the 3G dialer?
I'm getting a bit sick of this hard reset rigmarole - although I am getting much more efficient at it!
Appreciate your work Seth - keep it up. BTW, the ROM update seems to have fixed my 'not waking up from standby' issues.
Cheers

You can use User Customization, works for me you only have to run it once after the hard reset and all you've configured will be setup. Maybe if Seth is really nice he will include it in his rom the next time so you don't have to run it manually.

The ROM is working great - no lockups at all since installing it.
I seem to have conflicting information about Bluetooth being affected by radio ROMs - what's your opinion? The reason I ask is that my bluetooth range is pretty shocking (it won't even go through one thin wall in the next room) and I was thinking that maybe one of the newer radio roms might improve it.
Will the Niki roms on the radio page work in a Neon? Should 1.65x radios work with your ROMs? The 1.65s there seem to be from a Kaiser.
The other thing I've seen is a HTC-supplied 'bluetooth hotfix' for the TytnII - any opinion on that?
We'll hang out for your video calling CAB/ROM too. Not that I ever really video call, but if someone asks 'can you do video calling?' I want to be able to say that I can... ;-b
Actually that's a thing - if someone video calls ME, will I be able to answer with the current ROM?

In regards to the radios have a read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369502
I haven´t had much time to play with Radios. I´m using the radio of my post and my bluetooth is fine. The range is excellent, i live on the second floor and i still can get my cars bluetooth out the back in the carpark.
Hey Seth
VIDEO DIALER: didn't work. At all. I installed the cab, soft reset and had no phone dialer whatsoever. I don't mind reflashing the rom if that's what needs to be done - is the rom file on the front page updated with the video dialer? Or if the cab doesn't work will the rom not work too?
RADIO ROMS: it seems that the one you list is the best and latest for the Neon. The Niki ones and the Kaiser ones simply won't load. It's largely irrelevant anyway - because I don't think it's the phones problem...
BLUETOOTH: I faffed around for ages last night doing some tests with my dual and my decrepit old o2 mini (which used to have great bluetooth range) and it seems that the problem may be with the transmit power on my *computer* rather than on the dual. I left my dual next to my laptop at one end of the house, and then went to the other end of the house and did a search with the o2 mini. it found the dual but NOT the computer. I swapped phones and searched with the dual from the other end of the house and the same thing happened. So the phones have good range to each other, but they're both having trouble finding the computer.
I'm just waiting to get my hands on another laptop with bluetooth and then I can see if I need to call the good folk at Dell to replace my bluetooth module perhaps.
I'm also wondering if the laptop has gotten into its head that it's a 1m device instead of a 10m device. It's strange that I've only noticed it since getting my new phone, and now the old phone seems to have limited range too.
Anyways, blah blah blah - please let me know if you get any further with the video dialling in either the rom or the cab - and/or if there's anything you'd like me to test out for you.
Cheers

I will do two things tonight.
1 - I'll flash this Rom back on my device, i'm currently using SETHS DIAMOND V2 Build 19214.1.0.4. And i'll try to work out why the Cab doesn't work.
I'll rebuild this rom and include the video dialer if point one fails.
Cheers
Hey Seth
In the interests of 'giving something back' - here's a handful of splash screens for the diamond and the neon for you to take or leave...
Your 'logo' is supposed to be a square ROM chip but with griddle lines over it (you're a chef, after all). It also happens to be an 'S'.
If you want any further tweaks or raw files let me know.
Cheers
jbng
PS. While we're on the subject of splash screens, I get an 'access denied' error when I try to replace the windows mobile startup .png file on your latest Neon ROM. Any ideas why that would be the case? With the previous ROM my file just copied straight over the top.

Hi jbng,
Thanks for the wonderful images. The only program i know that can overwrite system files is Total commander. Just copy the file to your storage card and then use total commander to overwrite.
If that doesn´t work i posting 4 cabs on my latest Neon Rom for who ever wants to use your great artwork.
Regarding the Video dialer i just realized that RV1 has video calling, only the public beta didn´t. Please update your rom to either V1 or V"2.
Thanks

Any of the Genius' want to take a stab at TouchFlo 2d for our Titan's?

DCD well be on the job, i'm sure of it , or if not i would hope so
Thumbs up
Works brilliantly with my Titan, am running DCD 3.2.5 with it. There is a lag when scrolling thru emails and texts and an unsigned error when i try to open my photos and videos.
Killed my ram tho, had 22MB now down to 10MB, definitely made for vogue not titan. Gonna to tinker with it some more, some registry tweaking to see if i can make it perform faster but overall a great addition

do you have all the tabs working properly??? contacts, music, weather, programs, pictures....???
All my tabs are working just fine, it picked up all my contacts pictures in HTC home, i can call them just like i could before, i can scroll and read and send texts and emails, opera works great, audio manager is working great, its got my album covers showing, weather I just configured and it's working, haven't tried google maps search tab yet, will post and only other thing not working correctly is the keys in the settings tab, my wallpaper and sounds keys dont work, im getting no response when i press them, needs a lil more work but is working fluid and the lag from earlier seems to have disappeared
UPDATE:
My ram shot up to 17MB now
Everything works unbelievably well now!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425694
A uninstall and re-install did the trick for me, everything works as it should now. Ram isn't so bad, am averaging around 17 - 19MB, which is ok for now
I am trying it out, got most everything working besides the email or text messaging tab closing touchFLO randomly. It seems to be a memory hog too, bet it would run great on No2chems latest Cool UI, cant wait until they get a few more bugs worked out.

Fast and has great memory. You lose the camera though. Probably the best ROM I have run so far and he is still playing with it.
I have been running the initial 2d touch flo and the most recent version on my Sprint Mogul. A few minor bugs but otherwise it is running great. I am running it on DCD's 3.2.6. My RAM is hanging around 72% after some use.
The bugs include loss of volume control via the speaker icon at the screen top. And some problems getting the Opal audio manager to see my music.
The crew working on this project is really on the ball! Hope this helps anyone considering trying it out. So far I am happy...

Damn. I dont care for my camera anyhow. It comes in handy every once in a blue moon, but I'd rather have speed. Hmm. Maybe I should wait till a more stable version. flashing is killing me.
the development and hacking area of XDA has about 3-4 running threads about manilla2d with hundreds and hundreds of posts --- its a wreck.
Not to mention every htc owner is trying to get their own specific device going with this new touchflo. I would suggest that jeep14 rename this thread to something like "Manilla2d / Touchflo 2d development for the Titan" and we can use this as command central with some updated info in the first post. Otherwise its so unorganized.. Jeep14 help us get organized here buddy.
Just an FYI I have the latest touchflow2d on my device and half the features dont work. Just a status update to how bad this is. Not sure why every one else isnt jumping on board with this right now. it is like HTC Home 5.0 or something its GREAT!
I uninstalled the last version (which was hell) and installed the latest, and it still eats RAM like candy.
The next logical choice for me was to flash nuerom 3 pre1 and holy crap does that ROM fly! wow. no other words can describe it. I loaded again the latest M2D version on this ROM and it works awesome!
And I still have more RAM at boot than my buddies Kaiser.(almost )
This is sweet. I miss some of the functionality of DCD's finest but this rom (with 12 MB page pool) hauls ass.I will probably run this for a while and flash back to DCD, but for now this blows my mind!

I have no clue what issues you are having but I'll be glad to help if you can be more descriptive of your issues.
Also, no reason to make this another central thread. It will end up like the other two and tghen where would we be?

If not to make this thread an organized central thread then what is the point of this thread to begin with? just to beg DCD or GC to do something?? The thread name is misleading, that is my point.
I am running DCD's latest, and others are running this NoChem business which I have never tried (the rom is in beta, limited releases, and still has bugs)
My issues as of now, that i can name off the top of my head.
Youtube doesnt play (error playing the videos)
internet wont launch Opera
Album doesnt work at all, it recognizes no pictures
Havent tested music..
We do need a central thread for TITAN users, and we need it here. Not random posts spread through out XDA. Just common sense.
edit:
I installed and tested this, but bug and error reports just clutter the main threads. And to be honest, I am not much of a developer so I just sit back and watch things unfold. But keeping device-specific chat about this project right here in our forum may help others here.

look at all the threads you have jumped to today for mainly the same issues.

1. I have no idea why the OP started the thread. Maybe it was to ask someone else to get it done. As I recall this was posted before any thing was released for other devices.
2. dcd 3.26 does not have some of the files that nueROM 3 pre 1 does. Probably why everything doesn't work right away.
3. Apparently you are missing a file of some sort. Which YouTube cab did you download? I am using the original YT.cab and it works but it could be something in my ROM that is helping. There is a reg patch to get opera working (assuming your Opera has been installed to Program files). Oh, there is someone reporting that they have YouTube working on dcd 3.26 in the YouTube thread so obviously it can work.
Install YoutubePlay
Open up Regedit
GO to:
HKLM>Software>HTC>Manila2D>InternetWidget>Customiz ed>0
Changed CustomizedURL to
\Program Files\youtubeplay\youtubeplay.exe
Did you install the new camera album? For music I had to install the older Kaiser audio manager and then the new audio manager.
4. No we don't. That just spreads it out even further. Heck, someone felt the need to open another thread about modifying the xml file. That one should be closed and the info kept in the skinning thread. The other problem is people wanting to be lazy and not read things that are going on. Then they post stupid crude like "does it work for my device?". That clogs up the threads with all kinds of fluff. If this program was only for the Titan I would be right with but since it is for a large number of devices it is in the appropriate forum. Of course, this is my personal opinion and since I am just a member I can't control what happens.
5. Your link is broken.

1. You are right on that, it was an early post. I just would like the member who started it to maintain the first post and rename the thread, if we are to keep using it. That's what I am really trying to say.
2. I have no objections to using the nochem rom, I would like to test it out, however I cant find a link and it seems to be a limited release item.
3. The youtube cab I used was HTCYouTubeQVGA.zip from the HTC YouTube from Diamond And Opal.Jade thread. I will investigate that thread some more, now that you mention that someone has it working. So you are saying I still have to use YoutubePlay and cant get that beautiful one above to play the videos? The app itself runs.
Opera, maybe an issue on my end... I think the Opera Mini install that I did may have been corrupt somehow, so I cant really attribute that to anything yet.
4. I saw the XML editing thread, and it was pointless. But back to point number 1, I believe that here in the Titan Upgrading forum we should have the dedicated thread for us TITAN users. Then we wont have so much clutter in the Hack and Dev forums from noobs asking too many questions. I see it as helping both parties.
5. Yea that link is broken.. i'll take it down.
Thanks for your help... I hope to get a nice TouchFlo 2d customized for the Titan .cab up here soon ... that would be great!
