Guest Alex (nedge2k) Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 HTC have released some Bluetooth hotfixes for various devices in order to patch a vulnerability that was discovered in the default Microsoft stack. ZoomSafer Inc have released an app the suppresses various notifications while you are driving in an effort to make your device less of a distraction - a good thing IMHO! Click to register for the ZoomSafer beta. XDA-Devs member merlot has released an app that wants to be a "swiss army knife for your PPC". mToolbox has a water level, light sensor, ruler, angle meter and shock sensor! The Inquirer get a first look at the final (RTM) version of WM 6.5, or "Windows Phone OS" as it's now known, running on a Touch Diamond 2. LG is reportedly prepping a new WM 6.5 device, the GM750 Layla. XDA-Devs member OndraSter has released an app that allows you to resize WM6.5 plugins (Titanium plugins) to suit your device's screen resolution. Microsoft have a page up that showcases "Windows Phone" applications (Silverlight required). Anyone else bored of hearing "Windows Phone" yet? ;) The HTC Hero ROM has been ported to the HTC Vogue (Touch) via Haret, complete with new Sense UI. It ain't fast but it sure is pretty :) MoDaCo member KSTAN has been hard at work extracting various bit's and pieces from the new Omnia II ROM. The Omnia II has some pretty apps so it's worth a look ;)
Guest pd.ryder Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 Apparently my (almost) new Touch HD doesn't have the most recent version of MS .NET Compact Framework. So it won't run the mToolbox app. Boo! How annoying. Is there a quick fix to update the .NET Compact Framework? :)

Guest pd.ryder Posted August 6, 2009 Report Posted August 6, 2009 Thanks argh :) In case anyone else is scuppered by the lack of Microsoft's installation instructions, the package linked to above is for the PC. Once installed on the PC, ActiveSync the mobile device (assuming XP) and the necessary cab will be installed on the device. If, like me, you download and install the package directly to the device, it won't work and you'll just waste 30-odd Mb of your mobile data. This is not made clear by the download site and when looking for the Compact Framework for the device I assumed it would install directly. Twit.

I don't think that MS distribute a standalone cab file, but it can be found by googling, or just searching XDA developers. They seem hosted on rapidshare/megaupload etc. though, so you never know what kind of things the cab file might contain ;) I haven't looked for one recently as the ROMs I flash usually contain it now.

No probs mate - no idea who MS think they're providing instructions for! I mean, I'm not exactly a n00b at these things and even I got flummoxed (sp?). Thanks again ;)
