[ROM] (Phone+GPS+Vista GPS+touch)Thaihugo's shift age of reason and age of beauty
- Thread starter thaihugo
- Start date
ClearSnapvue, Windows Mobile Center and the ROM updater program stopped working for me about a year ago. I was running WIndows 7 at the time, and up to one day it was working, and none of them have worked for me since, including a recent attempt on Windows 10. So I have kinda given up with the Windows Mobile side. Luckily the last ROM that I installed is one of the better ones - Age of Beauty, but given the chance I would now choose a more lightweight ROM with a permanent battery indicator at the top right.
Recently, I tried the USB Tool with Windows Mobile centre on windows 10, and I heard the 'ding dong' sound in Windows, but Windows Mobile centre showed no connection.
I don't know what happened, but I seem to recall seeing other HTC Shifters having problems.
I wondered whether anyone was having success with Windows Mobile communications on the HTC Shift these days.

Here are some ROMs: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzqfCViUrpr6UkVkY2lTLUIxSGs&usp=sharing
The web space is not mine, though. I found the link while searching for the WM 6.1 monx ROM. It seems there is also a 1.08 version for that one, but currently I did not find it anywhere. If anyone can provide a link to it or upload it somewhere for others to download it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hey Flanimal,
Have you tried to hard reset your device? Make sure to backup everything first!
Thanks!

Hey Flanimal,
Can you please let me know how I could download it? It would be great if you also have Monx's WM 6.1 v1.08 ROM (not v1.07), as I cannot seem to find it anywhere. It would be nice if you could put everything HTC Shift related that you have on Google Drive (or equivalent), as I am also collecting such items.
I have recently installed Windows 7 Enterprise Trial and Monx's WM 6.1 v1.07 ROM on the HTC Shift (as it has working USSD, and I need that). Everything seems to work correctly for me, except that long SMS messages are not received (for instance, if the message is longer than 5 * 160 characters, it will not appear in the messaging application when using Monx's v1.07 ROM).
Have you tried to hard reset your device? Make sure to backup everything first!

Check your PM. Regarding my Windows Mobile issue, yes I have tried hard and factory resets, and reinstallations, but no joy. Thanks for informing me that it's not a Windows 7/10 problem.

Ah, I solved my Windows to Windows Mobile communication problem. I had simply forgotten that it is necessary to uncheck "enable advanced network" under the usb to pc option in wm side. Doh!

Things to do on HTC Shift
Hello to all!
I don't know if I have to present myself and if somebody care about it (I'm sure that if needed, moderators will tell me that)
I'm almost a proud owner of an HTC Shift X9500, I bought it on eBay and in while I took a look at this forum.
I'm pretty lost because it's an old machine (even if it's still one of the best) and it's hard to locate all the most recent threads about it.
I've also bought a brand new SSD PATA ZIF 1.8 64 gb and 2 gb DDR2 microdimm memory 214 pin in order to get the best performance possible
and I'm wondering what to do now.
My intention is to upgrade this device with windows 10 32bit and the first question is:
will I get all the hardware working fine after the upgrade? any known issues?
The second question is about ROMs and liberation:
which is the best upgrade possible on pda side?
Thanks to those who will answer and sorry if I bring back foreground an old post.

Hello! Congrats on purchasing an HTC Shift. I'm rather jealous of the RAM and SSD that you are beefing up your Shift with. I hope you get them to work ok.
I'll send you a PM with my stash of HTC Shift drivers and files in case you are of use/interest to you.
I recommend thaihugo's Age of Reason ROM. You may have trouble liberating your Shift if you can't find a old school email server that is compatible with it.
I recommend that you install Windows 10 Anniversary edition (rather than Creator's edition). That way, you should be able to get the touchsceen drivers working, and then you can run Windows update and run the Microsoft upgrade tool to upgrade to the latest version of Windows 10, and the touchscreen should continue to work.
The wifi drivers don't work by default with Windows 10. The Windows 10 thread in these forums contains a working solution.
Good luck and have fun!

First ..Thanks and sorry for late reply
I got only SSD right now and I'm waiting to go back home and bring memory.I've installed windows 8.1 on SSD and, as said, wifi / SD not working.
I've tried many many solutions described here and now I'm heading to upgrade to windows 10 anniversary as you told me.
I'm running windows update now and I'm going to find some mail providers that accept the liberation CAB file (google mail refuse it as a potential risk :crying: )
I'll let you know about the future

Hello,
I can't really help as I haven't used GPS on the Windows Mobile side in a long time. But from what I remember, the first time that I successfully used GPS on the WM side was when I installed a GPS ROM, and then ran the Google Maps app, and it located me correctly.
I hope you get it working.

2Ah, I solved my Windows to Windows Mobile communication problem. I had simply forgotten that it is necessary to uncheck "enable advanced network" under the usb to pc option in wm side. Doh!
Busy choosing a different ROM now to fit my modern day requirements - don't need PIM or office anymore, but def want dictionary and a C64 SID player...1Hello,
I'm still working on the different sound topics, but here are my newest roms.
I call them age of reason and age of beauty. This is a kind of trial for the second one...
The point is that we need a rom to really use the shift possibility. We need storage space, real gps useage, and of course maximum ram.
This is the age of reason rom. The lightest possible rom, where you can add a lot of programs, more if you use UPX compression.
You need to flash the radio from the phone+gps rom before using this one.
What does it have:
42 Mb storage and 22 Mb memory free
WORK on WINMOB SIDE
All standard Winmob application (ie, notes, media player, sms, phone, gps)
Task manager to soft reset, kill process, etc...
Clear temp (as requested)
USB tools
A homemade program to switch the speaker when on call. This program is for my development my roms only, and it work as a service, so it cannot be killed by the OS.
There is a managment program to remove the service if needed.
WORK WITH VISTA
storage:
A network browser to access the vista HDD
GPS:
An automatic GPS redirection to the PC side
This program is GPS2Blue, and it is preconfigured. You just have to launch the shortcut in HTC debug tools, and setup vista to get communication.
GPS works on both side, so you can use it on Windows mobile too of course
A few words on this last program.
GPS2Blue is a program made by Paludour. You can check his website here:
http://www.paludour.net
He allowed me to add this program to my roms, as you must normally download the cab from his site. This way, I could put it preconfigured on our devices. Many thanks to him for that.
When you are connected with usbtools to vista, click on this gps2blue icon, and you can receve the gps on vista if you follow this guideline:
http://www.paludour.net/GPS2BlueFAQ.html#USB
Just click on the gps2blue icon when you have to do the PDA side of this tutorial, the rest is aleady done.
The link for this rom is here:

MD5: 4c31ba01b109e22cd77bc3da53220672
Mirror:http://www.filesavr.com/light_1
Now for the other rom, the age of beauty:
This rom is the same, with one little twist: there is pointUI pre-installed.
This is a test, as I don't know if this is a good way instead of installing it afterward. Anyway, you are good for some eyecandy.
You have to pay for this: you have only 37 Mb of sorage, and 9 (yes, nine) megs of free memory after reset. But the good news is that you can disable it, and still be using the rom. So you can choose when you want eye candy, and when you want to be serious. If it is requested, I might update this one.

Enjoy and report here if you like it.1How to connect to vista side:
first, know the name of your shift. If you didn't change it it is SHIFT, otherwise type hostname in a command line in vista side.
then type services.msc and make sure the server service is started and set up to automatic if you want it to start every boot
Now type \\shift in your start menu. A windows must open, and you should see thinks, like Users,and printers. If not, don't worry, you can still go on. For more advanced users, it can be a good time to set up a share.
Now go on Snapvue side, and go to settings-connections-network plugin. First click on the "enable network folder" and wait for the reset.
Now, when reset is done, start usbtools to activate activesync. On vista side, make sure you are connected ( set up a partnership, or just click on connect whitout partneship. In this case, you will have to do it each time.)
Go back on Snapvue, and in network plugin click on New...
In remote path, enter \\shift\users if shift is your computername, and if you saw Users in the window on the second step.
Otherwise, you can enter \\shift\c$ to access the whole drive.
Click on map drive. Enter your username and your password (the one you use to login in vista)
Now, you can browse the pc using the network folder. You can add music to media player, browse pictures, wmv video...
You can even install some progs on vista side, but I don't recommend it. You might use it also as a data storage for SPB insight (my little baby) for example1you cannot use any other radio than the one provided with the rom. I've read it gives some 3G problem in some countries.
The 1.58 radio was the original radio for the european shifts. It will make a hissing sound problem on my rom, as it is made for 1.27 radios. You have to either go back to original Snapvue rom, or to forget about 3G in your case I fear
