My wince patch will enable desktop access and will change the interface in navi mode to a nice looking iphone like shell.
Latest development is the wifi patch, that will enable wifi access in your car, the main purpose is to connect to your phone ( used as an wifi access point : iphone, windows mobile, symbian ) and share its 3g internet connection, so you`ll not be forced to pay double for data services.
More details in the link above.
Any questions just ask.
Thanks,
Petrut
Edit : more info about wifi patch.
1. you`ll need to buy the wincedesktop patch for dynavin devices, then the wifi patch.
2. wifi patch come with a license valid for only the device that was built for ( will not run on other units ), if you have more than one device you can purchase a reseller license.
3.you need to reflash the wince, because all 3g units have now chinese wince. I`ll provide english firmware ONLY for my patch customers.
4. compatible dongles are the ones with ralink 3070 chipset. Tested and working so far :
I installed this a couple weeks ago (desktop patch, havent picked up wifi patch just yet). Definitely a cool patch and great feature. Greatly expands the possibilities with the dynavin
go to his site and check the images. I think it adds features, but don't want to say for sure since I don't have mine yet. but it sounds like it changes the user interface a little and may offer more functionality.
It gives you access to windows desktop, not quite the same as WinXP, but definitely has some similar features. You can run windows based programs (within limitations I believe)

thanks guys for your perception of what the new interface's selling point is/are. I just wanna be sure im buying more than just cosmetics. A new look wont do it for me, spending wise. I've got a laundry list of wants and wishes, and cosmetics is at the bottom of that list.
. Main selling point is not just the interface, but the functionality. You`ll be able to run ( included ) many more applications, full office suite, new mp3 players ( much better than the default one ) , games ( even flash games ), connect to internet, email client ( in wifi version )...
2000_328CI is going to test it out. Like jeff said, others are on another board, but from here, he is going to try it out. I think he ordered the antenna and patch. so we will see soon. if I had everything setup I would do it, but I am a couple weeks out.
it changes lots of things, but changes are hidden in system and don`t affect normal operation unless are activated from sd ( running desktop application ). So unless you run my app from sd, the system will use factory settings.
lol, I know, what the heck is up people. Well, mine is at my house waiting, but won't be installed unitl this weekend. I will pick up the patches sometime next week after I get situated with it. Then need to order the antenna.
OK, I purchased the hack today and have a few quick questions before I go about destroying my setup .
1. Can someone confirm that with a v5 Dynavin, I don't need to make ANY firmware updates? I was confused by the instructions that petrut included in the hack zip file.
2. All I need to do is copy the "wincehack" directory to the root of the SD card, then set the navigation path to the "install.exe" and let install. After that I can delete wincehack from the SD card and the hack will still be present?
So I'm hitting a snag. I'm trying to copy the wincehack from the unzipped file to the root of the SD card and am getting an error when trying to do that. Any troubleshooting suggestions?
or if you have a MAC, you can run windows on it. I have windows XP running in vmware fusion on my macbook pro. As of right now, I will never own another brand computer.
Which USB port would we use to do the patch updates? For the dynavin firmware updates we use the DVDUSB. Since petruts patches are for the NAVI side, I assume we use the GPS USB port?
I have one USB extension for the rear USB ports and before I put everything back together I need to figure out if I need to get another extension cable.
COPY ONLY the program files folder from data.zip to wincehack folder !!!!!!!!! Is pretty clear explained...
@trbovnm, install the patch on the GPS SD card, not on usb, not from usb !
This is what I did. Extracted and Copied the program files folder from the data.zip located on the SD card to the wincehack folder that I downloaded from your location. then copied the wincehack folder to the root of the GPD SD card.
**Update** I think I found my mistake... I'll report back shortly.
Ok, I've successfully installed the hack but there is something that is BUGGING THE HELL OUT OF ME.
The WinCE programs typically have the "Cancel" "OK" or other buttons that you use to get out of a program on the edges of the screen. It is borderline impossible to hit those buttons with your fingers. You would have to use a stylus to get there. My example is in the Nitrogen MP3 player for example. Once I load it, I can't get out of it without a lot of clicking for no reason.
Is there a way to reduce the size of the screen in software? I did the "Screen" setup for the NAVI board and made the screen as small as possible but it still is too large width wise.
cheers.
