I have TomTom and i want to use the plugin for the today screen but i cant activate the GPS if i open up TomTom with the today screen plugin or if i open it up through my programs menu (i need to use AstroGPS Launcher)... is there a way to keep the plugin but change it so it opens up the AstroGPS link instead of the regular TomTom one???

Finally I can run Fakecursor and use TomTom etc to the full.
However I cannot switch the program off!!
Have got SmartToolKit and Xbar3 and neither seem to help.
There must be a solution to taking the battery out?
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Paul
just press the home button twice
same problem and more
I also would love to use fake cursor for tomtom and igo 2008. I´ll try the suggested method to turn it off. Also i´d like to know how to configure it. I just can´t assign functions to the buttons.
Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a screen lock for Tomtom software. I have the polaris running V7 of tomtom. The problem is I use it with the motorbike and earpiece.
So basically I set the destination, drop it in my pockets and listen for directions however the screen needs to be active. If it looses focus or the screen goes blank then directions updates stop. Otherwise the screen keeps getting pressed while riding so directions get interrupted.
Anyway I can get around this. tom tom screen lock would be great.
Hi Dusty, I'm a biker too so I already faced (and solved) that!
There are two problems using TomTom as we need to use:
1. if Polaris goes in sleep mode (blank screen), TomTom looses focus and stops working;
2. random screen taps (typically wen you store your PDA in a pocket) can of course modify/interrupts itineraries.
To solve both of them, I suggest you not to use any third parties' screen lock.
Just do as follows:
set your battery saver off (so your Polaris never get sleep);
launch TomTom and choose your destination;
go back to WM without quitting TomTom (you can easily do that setting one of the hw buttons to launch "Today" screen);
use stock WM screen lock
enjoy your ride
Hi
Could you, please, explain what is "stock WM screen lock" exactly?
Does it a 3rd party application itself?
I have TomTom V6. I stops to respond when it goes to the system tray, which means that the trick with "Today" is not good enough for TT V6.
Regards.
PS. Correction: I was wrong, TomTom V6 works when in the system tray
The stock WM screen locker is an utility I've found preloaded on my Polaris so I do believe is a standard WM tool (see first picture, it's the red rounded icon).
I also have TT6 (see second picture) and it continues to work fine when I press the Hw button that brings me to "Today" (I assigned the "explorer" button, but you can configure any other Hw command).
Thank you very much, deepblue68
I was wrong, your advise works fine!
Best regards!
Hmmm
I think the key is disabling screen saver/poweroff which is what it will do when on the home screen.
I have re-felashed my phone now and can't find a lock function (do know what you are talking about. Sure its just a little menu option somewhere.
Hi guys,
My problem. I'm not using the TF3D but installed SPB instead. However the question is that the screen only turns landscape when i open the key pad. Only app that it auto rotate is Opera.
It is very annoying that if i am reading news for example from a rss reader or something i have to open the key pad in order to read in landscape mode??
Is ther a fax or software which can solve my problem?
thanks everyone.
there are lots of apps that allow you to rotate a screen manually. apart from the auto rotate apps in the diamond forum, spb today plugins usually come with an item (through add item when adding an item to tab) that lets you change the screen oriention via a shortcut.
using something like aeplus can allow you to map a hardware button to screen rotation
Thanks friend
I want to DISABLE autorotate while slideout the keyboard (and map it to the button). Is that possible?
i'm pretty sure u can disable but I'm not sure where in the registery to change.... however, forcing rotation as I asked before I cannot do this way and I think I have to install something... but I'm not sure
I have finally found the perfect configuration for the HTC Kaiser/TyTn II/AT&T Tilt Offical WM 6.1 Rom . First, Install htc Home Customizer, then from there install the HTC Album and REMOVE the music and weather tabs, then, install SPB Mobile Shell (be sure to disable the today plugin), next Install SPB Pocket plus BUT, while installing do not install the Home plugin (to make sure that htc home dosnt' get unlocked, this can cause problems when placing the phone in lanscape mode where the scroll bar that appears over the right hand side of the HTC Home Plugin causes it to cut off that portion when turning it back into Portrait.) Next install Microsoft .Net Compact Framework and Shapps Advanced Config, lastly configure your today screen to display ONLY the weather tab from SPB Mobile Shell, configure your city/state, and voila!! you have the perfect setup for an At&t Tilt
Hope This Helps
Neat, thanks
Hi all,
I tried to use Tom Tom 7 the other day and it seems that when I lock the screen via the Today screen the TT Application no longer is the active Application and therefore no Audio Commands can be heard.
I run Windows 6.1 on my Polaris and I think it worked on my Old XDA as I used it together with the Radio & TomTom at the same time when riding the bike.
Is there a way to deactivate the Keypad in order to prevent TomTom to stop navigating?
I tried with the Screen Turn of Button but that has the same effect, TomTom is no longer the active task and stops "speaking"
