I have a T-Mobile Ameo with WM6 (T-Mobile NL) and GPS Photo is not working (Cannot initialize GPS service). Fortunately my friend has an original HTC with english WM6 ROM and his GPS Photo is working properly.

Anyone knows how I can dump his ROM, extract the required files and add them to my Ameo? I googled, but didnīt find any clues yet.

Thanks for any info!

It will work but you need to change a registry entry first. Somewhere in this forum has that entry. Try searching for it and see if you can find it.

Reading is hard. I wrote I got the message "Cannot Initliaze GPS service", which implies I changed the registry and could select mode 9, GPS photo.

Exactly the same case here, but with Irus WM6.1 Full version.

See my thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405016.

If you do have another unit that's working, you might be able to save yourself the trouble of messing with the ROM kitchen. On the unit that's working, go to /Windows and copy gpsid_HTC.dll to a storage card. Then put the card in the unit that's not working and copy gpsid_HTC.dll to \Windows there. Do a soft reset and it should work.

Or put this application on it http://www.geoterrestrial.com/ which is better than the built in system with its work arounds. As it now sports VGA support its worth trying on the Athena devices - Mike

Tried that, also picked up the posted gpsid_HTC.dll, but it doesn't work. I guess it's not as simple as it looks. I'm not giving up yet. I'm still looking for a way to extract the ROM from the HTC Advantage of my friend. He's running 6.0 now and GPS Photo is still working. However, I don't want to endanger his device, so I'm still gathering info to build up confidence :)

You can find original HTC 6.0 WM on Athena WIKI.
