tomtom question - no color on my maps - General Questions and Answers

hi.
yes downloaded and installed a tomtom torrent, tomtom 7 - v7.910.9185 with western europe 1gb 815.2024 maps.
i dont know if anyone has used this torrent but it gives you the option to use 3 zip files for your navigator, so i chose the vga blue, and it all works, got the maps to be recognized, its fine, but there is no color on the map itself. actually no matter what one i use, qvga black or even vga black still the map itself is in black and white. there is colour surrounding the map and in the menu of tomtom too, where you change and chose all the setting you want, colors there but none on the maps.
ive searched but no one else seems to be having this problem.
anyone have any ideas what this could be? there is nothing in the preferences that give me any options to change it that i can see either.
thanks,
john.

TomTom6 - POI don't display - help.

I have TT6 on a Prophet having upgraded from TT5.21
I have copied my custom POI files as per the intructions on the TT web site but they do not show.
I cna enable/disable them and navigate to them but tey do not show on the map.
Any ideas anyone?
I have custom POI loaded on TTN6 and it displays the POI on the map in both 2D and 3D modes, all I did was enable the ones I needed, there is a limit of 100 custom POI in TTN6. What could be an issue is the colour depth used to make the POI icons, they need to be 24bit colour depth IIRC, otherwise parts of the colour don't show up. Also try zooming in to take a closer look at a point where you know a custom POI is located - Mike
Hi Mike, you get around. Thanks for the OGG files you emailed me earlier.
I'll check the colour depth. That could be the cause. Thing is they appear to be enabled in the enable/disable list but nothing shows.
No one else able to help?

Blue Dialer Background

I have a question hopefully somebody can answer for me. I just flashed Duttys wm 6.1 fixed from April 16th, and then I added the wm7.tsk which is the blue theme for the today screen, does anybody know how I can get the dialer to match it? when I open up the dialer the screen is grey/black along with the buttons but the upper and lower bars are blue. I want the background to match the today screen and I have literally been searching for 2 hours and cant find anything. I have found a couple of cabs that say blue dialer skin but they dont work so any help is appreciated.

You would need to modify the dialer images. You can find one of the dialer cabs & extract it to see the names of all the button & background image files then you'll need to either create new images that match, size wise, or use an editor to modify the images.
modify:
\windows\blue_Dialer_Bkgnd_Land.png
\windows\blue_Dialer_Bkgnd_Port.png
and\or
\windows\blue_Dialer_BkgndSK_Port.png
\windows\blue_Dialer_BkgndSK_Land.png
I use the following dialer Its the best match I've found so far. Just install the iphone dialer cab and then copy the contents of the zip file into the windows directory.

Thanks Ratcom, that is exactly what I was looking for.

New HTC Theme Problems (Searched But Can't Find Any Answers)

Hi, I installed the stock htc theme on my new fuze. It has a problem though where when you select the windows icon up top, the programs are in black text on a black background which makes it hard to see when it is light out. I have seen pictures where it is suppose to be white text. I have searched but couldn't find any way to fix this. I also installed another stock theme to make sure it wasn't just a bad install but it still happened. Lastly on the communications page in settings, it still has the stock at&t background when you go into it (it is the only setting page that does this)... Does anyone have any ideas how to fix these problems? Thanks for the help!
I'm having the same issue. Tried several different themes but it does it with all of them.
Try this theme... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447056

I'm after Bigger fonts, Sat Nav, Bar code reader and other apps

Hi all,
I've just got a TD2 as my first WM device, and my first PDA since a palm 5 circa 2001/2. I can see that this will be very useful, although I'm not sure it will fully meet my ideals - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514973
Anyhow, there are somethings I would like to get sorted immediately.
Firstly - BIGGER FONTS! I have adjusted the screen setting to the largest font but this really doesn't seem to do it form me. Certainly, the vast majority of system tabs and setting are still very small. If I could only adjust one thing though, it would be the font size on the text messages. The zoom bar doesn't work here - it doesn't work in a lot of system screens - which I think is a real shame.
Sat Nav - a have seen the mention of TomTom, CoPilot and Navigon from several source but I'm not sure which one to go for. I use a standalone TomTom a work and am very happy with it, but is this the best for this device?
Bar Code Reader - is there such a thing? I have seen an app someone posted regarding 2D dot bar codes, but what I would like is to be able to read standard striped bar codes.
Bar code reader would be nice, But isn't that only for Android?

Hi,
did you try that, there's already a Topaz version
and using it as a bar code reader is not its main function
but very smart application, have a look

regards
Thanks for the link! I'll try it when I get back from school!
IS ther anything that will read simple striped bar codes, such as serial number - that's more along the line of what I was after
this will use your camera to take a photo of a barcode and then go online and do price comparisons: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368798
oh and for a free GPS soluton that does turn by turn directions outloud (unlike GMaps and Liev Search) try AmazeGPS: http://www.fuzemobility.com/amaze-gps-free-turn-by-turn-gps-app/

White background/black font on Today Screen

Hello!
It's very difficult to read the Today Screen on the Topaz in bright sunlight. I have searched and searched again for a solution on XDA-Developers and the internet as such, but I found nothing. Actually, there's very little discussion about this problem. I find that a bit strange since this isn't only a cosmetic thing; the issue actually has consequences for the practical use of the device.
So, I ask you guys if anyone is working on this problem? Or perhaps I'm the only one who regards the white font as a problem? There must be some way to get black font on the Today Screen? Perhaps there already is a solution out there that I haven't found?
I hope someone knows the solution to my problem!
Kind regards
Eiliv
P.S. I have tried Max TF3D Theme Maker, but that doesn't seem to work.
You can change today text color in SKTools (download free trial). It is in Tune Up - Colors.
But if you mean manila - I don't use it so I don't know how to change it
Yes, sorry, I mean the Today Screen / Home Screen in Manila...
Eiliv
I agree. It would be great to change at least the colours !
You must take the TF3d manila Files oft the Vodafone D2! White Screen with black letters...
Well, great! But how? Where? I've done a search for Vodafone D2, and the only relevant post I can find points to ppc.ch which seems to be a german site (greek to me)...
Can you please point me in the right direction?
Eil
this is the first bit of what ive found: http://www.smartphonejunkie.com/tutorial-how-change-t174799.html?t=174799
i havent tried that yet...so feel free to leme know how it works)
Blackstone theme seem to work (not tried yet), but check this one out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480373
