(http://eten-users.eu/index.php?showtopic=7229&hl=igo8 sdhc&st=90)
Extract the files in a folder and remove all the _'s from the file extensions (for the noobies out there)
Replace... Data.zip in \SDMMC\iGO8 on your SD card with the patched one, delete the .lic file on your SD card in \SDMMC\iGO8\LICENSE and insert the new iGO8_PDA_PNA.lic and finally replace iGO8.exe in \Program files\iGO8 on your device with the patched one. Enjoy!

Are you using 8.0.0.29000 (Feb 26 2008)?

No sweat man

The fix is not working. Additionally, in Dutty's April 29 iGo works with HTC Home enabled, see Dutty's description.
The so-called fix replaces the released exe file with the beta version.

The only 6.1 ROM that allows iGo (or MioMap) to work together with HTC Home active is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388947
It is also the only ROM that uses HTC Home_2_1_181_3202.

is it possible to update to that home version once installed?
can you also include the cab ?

quoted from the diamond v4 thread :
Disable the music tab. I believe igo will work once that tab is disabled. I dont use Home at all so I have the entire thing disabled but I believe I remember it being reported as the music tab causing the issue.
can any1 test it?

There is no music tab in L26 v3 and v4, or by default
it's not enabled. I have no Assissted GPS tab in Start - Setttings - System - External GPS
but I have disabled it in AdvancedConfig...

Have You install SPB Mobile Shell ? I had removed SBP, before I have started IGO 8. If I install SPB, IGO will not start. I hope having help you.

Update for HTC Touch Diamond2 Handwriting

You can now download "Update for HTC Touch Diamond2 Handwriting" from HTC support site.
Has anybody tried it?

I've just put it on my phone, it's a better supported handwriting recognization, tried it, and i got less letter mistake than before. If you want to texting with your stylus, i think its a recommended upgrade...

It´s not working for me
ROM: 2.16.410.1 (67041) PTG
Radio: 4.49.25.17.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks in advance.
JSB

Same here.
Download it, installation was ok but no option for handwriting on my TD2.

Can somebody make it in CAB format ?
Thanks forward
Regards

At the moment i use |NOV 28||Duttys Sense 2.5 H-Grail R6||5.2.21882

Successfully installed to my EnergyROM ;-)

I +1 on this, typing with fingers or stylus is now easier, you do to 99% hit the key you wanted to hit. Very nice hotfix.

Doesn't work for my UDK Rom! "not compatible with your device"
Any idea to solve this problem?

I have a same problem on my ROM

Same here, installed the hotfix, but no new option availible for handwriting.
Could somebody post a screen of the new function?

This is the Problem with Duttys R6 ROM:
Note: AP version control -> The criterion will pass if the Touch Input for Pocket is equal to Version 2.1 (Build1919.1320), or lower.

I successfully installed it on EnergyROM 28014 TOPAZ 15.Dec.2009 StandardM2.5 too but it does not work. Which EnergyROM do you have?

I've installed it on my stock ROM that you can get on htc.com
Didn't notice anything new. What does this hotfix do btw?
After installing I've deleted the .exe file, is that a problem?

If as I think, you are talking about the Update for HTC Touch Diamond2 Handwriting, it should allow you to add handwriting to permit text input. If you click just to the right of the keyboard input icon, handwriting should be one of the options available to you.

how exactly did you install it nickyfranky? If you don't mind me asking...because it didn't work for me.

Have stock rom 6.5, doesn't work for me either.
Install says ok, but there is no option for handwriting.

It hasn't worked for me either but I think eveyone sharing their experience here should indicate the ROM that they are using. This may provide some additional insight into where the problem may lie.

I have some error : 'Http://handle.accuweather.com/widget/hadle/weather-data.asp?location=EZ003&metric=1 couldn't be opened
Line1 (\Program files\TitaniumWeather\Titaniumweather.mscr): link=ReadFile (http://handle.accuweather.com/widget/hadle/weather-data.asp?location=&location"&metric="&metric).
What to hell is this for error ? Is any Titanium Weather which works ?

I have the same problem. It seems we are all using an account call hadle and i think if is used to mach they block it. It would be easy to fix it if you could use your own account or use another one that still works example :
"//rdona.accu-weather.com/widget/rdona/weather-data.asp?location=SAM|AR|AR007|BUENOS%20AIRES&metric=0"
Unfortunately it seems as this address is hardcoded and can not be change either from the menu or the registry itself.
Hope this help and it can be fix on future release.
Ok I found where to change the address look for the file TitaniumWeather.mscr and change hadle for your own account like the one from my example rdona
this should made the trick.

Same here
the url = hadle.accu-weather.com/widget/hadle/weather-data.asp?location=SAM|PY|PA008|ASUNCION&metric
Doesn't work anymore. The change have to be on the source, beacuse is harcode, there is no settings changeable.
Anyone found another solution?

There is another way. I use Home Screen Customizer. The developer of this simple app has posted his work on here but the app itself is available free through Marketplace.
Basically you can remove items from your Titanium list using the app but it also allows you to add some items too. One of them is Weather, another is a handy apps bar.
Works great for me on 6.5.
Hope this helps!

That did the trick for me also. Thank you for sharing!

Hi,
could you explain the "trick" for me
thank you!

hey jowi i hope you read this. i only just figured this one out.
1. open file explorer and find 'c:\program files\titaniumweather\titaniumweather.mscr'
2. open with a programme such as notepad.exe
3. FIND this line "link=ReadFile("h ttp://hadle.accu-weather.com/widget/hadle/weather..."
4. REPLACE 'hadle' with 'rdona' in 2 places. the line should then read "h ttp://rdona.accu-weather.com/widget/rdona/weather..."
5. SAVE.
6. Update from TitaniumWeather settings.
this fix basically changes to another registered username with accu-weather. perhaps hadle's account got closed.
God bless

Google Maps 4 on HD2

Hi,
Just a small tips to get the last google maps on HTC HD2.
I'm using official HTC HD2 rom (1.66.406.1) but I think that should work on all versions.
Cleaning part :
Remove \Program File\GoogleMaps folder
remove \Application Data\GoogleMaps folder too
Install part :
get the "last" google maps there : google.com/gmm/GoogleMaps.CAB (or there google.com/mobile/maps/ )
Or get the v4.1 with voice support in MykeChester post (thanks to him) there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6274597&postcount=37
then install it on main memory of course (otherwise some apps won't be able to find GMaps anymore like compass, footprints,etc)
and voila.
You have the last google maps on your HD2 and saved a little space by cleaning.
cu
J6B.

Thanks J6B, Maps 4 is a big improvement!

Tried to download it to my Tmobile UK 1.72 ROM phone and was told it wouldn`t work on my HD2. So downloaded the CAB to my PC bluetoothed it across and installed it anyway and it works perfectly. Don`t know what Google are on about.

Works like a charm. Thank you bro!

Works fine on my HTC HD2

when i tried to install it using opera it didn't like it very much so i used win exp and now it is downloading.

which is the latest version? 4.1?

Wow - just followed the instructions and installed it on latest (8th July) NRG Maxsense ROM and its much better than the original Google Maps App.

Don't understand this thread. I have 4.1 on my phone, but when I go to m.google.com/maps it offers me 4.0.0.
Are you saying there's a new version available if you clear your device?

google maps is n1
but I want google maps navigate 4 WM
thats nicer!​

for some reason, on Opera, google detect the phone as M850, so it didn't work. but it work fine with IE.

I also have 4.1.0 installed on my ROM. Is this a downgrade?

Hi!
i've been doing this for a while now and Google Maps has been working well.
unfortunately i came across that this method of saving space also breaks the Digital Compass' "choose destination" function (to indicate the heading and distance of your destination)
has anyone found out how to preserve this?

Hi,
@Kev007 : I just tested it again on my phone and everything working fine (dot on the compass and distance left is displayed)
Could you give us more info on your setup : rom used, etc, ...

Tried clearing both folders and reinstalling. Still 4.0 gets installed. I'm on stock rom... pls help..

[APPMOD][UPDATED] Google Maps [brut] 4.4.0 stockified PROPER

If your country has official Google nav support, this isn't for you.
Hey guys,
I've modified Brut.all's Maps to better suit my taste and with Brut.all's permission I'd like to share the *.apk with you.
What's changed:
All icons with "BRUT" watermark reverted to stock
The [brut] suffix removed from the application name
Package name reverted back to com.google.android.apps.maps, so everything works correctly, including Car Panel and Chrometophone.
Bonus:
Zipaligned
Map caching enabled by default
DISCLAIMER
I am in no way responsible for damage done to your phone or to you, reindeers run over, alien abductions or global warming Everything you do, you're doing at your own responsibility. The one and only author of this great mod is Brut.all, so all cash and women are to be sent to him.
DOWNLOAD & INSTALLATION:
1) Always do a nandroid backup.
2) Download the zip file below, put it to your SD card root and flash via recovery or ROM Manager.
squrl_maps-brut16.zip, md5sum e958982666a36ed2a7df1924ae49e7c6
FEATURING IN
Paul's MCR r8 for the HTC Desire online kitchen (WIP)
Neophyte.x360's NextSense Froyo ROM
KNOWN ISSUES:
Some users are reporting that they don't see Maps, Navigation, etc. in the app drawer after they install the update.zip.
If you are experiencing this issue, read post #80, it contains an explanation and a fix as well. It may be a bit drastic, but it's the price you have to pay if you want to use this mod.
Enjoy
Special thanks to Brut.all for his work and friendly approach & to ivarson_swe for the help with package name reversion, and for the tip with enabling the map caching feature by default.
PS: If you like what I do and want to show some appreciation, you can register your Dropbox account through my referral link. You'll get 250MB for free, I'll get 250MB for free and we'll be both happy

works Great!
Works great! thanks for the Mod squrl! the only thing not working is voice search though

Tanks!

Great work, but i wonder is that possible to change package name to "com.google.android.apps.maps" instead of "brut.googlemaps" ???
reason to change: brut.googlemaps doesn't work in chrometophone

chrometophone asks what application you want to use when you send it something from google maps to your phone.
So no problem here.
Maybe you selected to allways use the normal google maps?

may i know which version of chrometophone and brut you using?

I'm trying to apply the zip via open recovery but it fails "E:Could not find the update-binary." anyone knows how to avoid this? Thanks!

Which recovery are you using? The stock? I recommend clockworkmod recovery by Koush, you can either flash it permanently to your Desire using unrEVOked, or use it with the fake-flash method.

Brut has a new version 4.4, brut15 out. Can you, by any chance, modify it for the Car Panel again?
