TOMTOM 5.21 NO US MAPS

I have heard that it is possible to use TomTom US maps which are currently not recognised, with version TomTom 5.21, which I need to resolve the keyboard issue with my QTEK 9090. Can anyone give me an idiots guide to how to do this?
The maps are accessible with TomTom 5.0, but with no soft or hard keyboard it is difficult to navigate!
Sweaty

Tell me about this I paid £90 for the offical Tom Tom Maps of the US only to find that now they wont work with Tom Tom 5 :evil: :evil: :evil: And i go to the US a lot :evil:

Maps that work
After trying numerous things, bought the TOMTOM masp for 129 euros at Tomtom.com. They work fine by installing them to a directory on the PC and then copying the folder to the root on the storage card. The nav 5.21 sees them and loads them. Hope this helps!!

Can you explain how to do this for a idiot :shock: :shock:

Map Loading
Fozzer
Please check your Personal Mail ( PM Icon at the top), I sent you one yesterday. Otherwise it depends what was delivered by TomTom and what version of TomTom you are running.
I got an executable set up file which leads me through an installation to PPC. However on of the options let's you decide on "Other Location(advanced)" then lets you choose "Folder on Computer". Once completed you can copy the files (entire folder) onto the storage card using Acitvesyncs explore option.
This completed file folder works for all versions of TomTom as I have treid 5.0, 5.1 and 5.21. The only version of maps I can get to work for the USA with 5.1 or 5.21 is the version 644 of TomToms Maps which I paid for.
Hope this is more clear

644? I thought that version applied to Euro maps. Isn't the v567 maps for the USA the latest?

How to use FakeCursor?

Hello,
I am new to this forum and smartphone world. So sorry if my questions will be silly for you.
I need some GPS navigation in my phone (i-Mate SP5, WM5), so I decided to use TomTom. I installed (basically copied it to memory card ) TomTom 6, it is just for PDA with touchscreen, but it works in my i-Mate. But problem of course is that you can't use it properly without "mouse". For that I downloaded FakeCursor (and SPHelper later) but I cant make it work properly. I copied FakeCursor to Windows folder. I was trying to copy changed long_CAMERA.lnk to Windows folder so that I could load mouse with camera button. But I could not replace the file, unchecking "read-only" didn't make any difference.
And if I load FakeCursor from file manager I can only move it and thats it (or is it normal?) and can't "click" anything. How do I click using FakeCursor?
Using SPHelper is the same I did managed to get mouse in TomTom but again I couldn't click. All SPhelper menus works fine.
I think its is something very simple that I am missing.
Please help.
Thank You in advance for your answers.
Tomas

Can it be so that no one in this forum knows how to use fakecursor?

i don't use fakecursor... only sphelper
try to press 1 or 2 or 3 keys (instead of joystick click) on cursor-mode with SPHelper..

i also have a smartphone (wm5) and i need sphelper or fakecursor. can someone tell me where i can find it cracked?

no warez discussion here le

Fakecursor is freeware. It's just an executable file, which can be found in my ROM.

But SPHelper is a shareware, Nitro, do you use GPS with tornado ?

As a matter of fact, I do. I use Destinator for WM5/6 Smartphones (Greek Map) and TomTom 5.xx for Smartphones (European Map). Also I have Destinator 7 for PPC installed and control it using FakeCursor.
And for staying on-topic... FakeCursor emulates a "pen touch" on the screen. When it's enabled, you can't use the keyboard. To exit press Home and then Back to return to the previous app. It is better launching it using a hardware key shortcut (such as long Camera Key press). Remember than you can use FakeCursor only with applications that support a touch screen!

And actually clicking or tapping with FC... how is this done? I couldn't figure it out when I was playing with your ROM.

It's done the obvious way!!!

iGO8 and [June 25] L26_KaiserDiamond_V9: they CAN work together

This post is all about running iGO8 with HTC Home enabled
If you tried to make them work together and didn't succeed, see what I did and how I made them work.
What we have:
1. Device: HTC TyTN II (Kaiser)
2. ROM: [June 25] L26_KaiserDiamond_V9 (new source!)
3. iGO8: Nav N GO iGO 8 version 8.0.0.41506, June 3 2008
What we do:
NOTE: This is what i have done and how it solved the problem for me. It doesn't mean it will work for you and/or your mobile device.
1. Change page pool size for <<L26_KaiserDiamond ROM>> to 24MB
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This actually sounds worse than it actually is. All you have to do is to download the "PagePool Changer" archive attached to this thread, extract the "PagePool Changer.exe" program and start it. Use "Select" button to choose the RUU_Signed.nbh file that you extracted from L26_Kaiser_DIAMONDV9.rar and select the 24 option from the "Whole part" row. Click "Change" button to update the page pool and close PagePool Changer.
2. Flash your KAISER with the modified L26_KaiserDiamond ROM
After the page pool size was modified you must flash that modified ROM to your mobile device. To flash the new ROM just run the KaiserCustomRUU.exe that you extracted along with RUU_Signed.nbh from L26_Kaiser_DIAMONDV9.rar.
3. Disable Assisted GPS on your mobile device
After you flashed the ROM and got Windows Mobile started, go to Start Menu->Programs->Utilities->Device Config and select AdvancedConfig. Find the GPS settings group and select "Assised GPS" (it should say "Enabled"). Select "Disabled" from the options list and click "Done". Answer YES when prompted to soft reset and wait the system to reboot.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT go to External GPS settings and DO NOT uncheck "Manage GPS automatically".
4. You're all done
Start iGO8 with HTC Home running! It should detect GPS automatically and you're ready to go.
NOTE: This is my SYS.TXT. If you try to start iGO8 using some different settings it it doesn't, you can try some values from bellow:
PHP:
[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"
[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1
[navigation]
sim_speed_factor=3
[sound]
ding=0
[timezone]
sync_os_timezone=0
reset_os_timezone=0
[debug]
skip_eula=1
topmost=0
[gps]
port=4
baud=4800
That's all there is to it. Happy navigation!
P.S.: Some technical information.
The guys from Nav N Go didn't bother to include some error log in case something goes wrong. Even if you delete some critical files from the iGO8 folder, the application won't start and it won't tell you why. Or maybe you can activate some error logging by using some command line switches, but i'm not aware of it.
Anyways, i was wondering why did iGO8 run smoothly with Dutty's ROM and HTC Home active, but didn't start with L26_KaiserDiamond and HTC Home active. I thought that the new HTCHome.dll and/or HTCUtils.dll were causing problems and i was trying to find a way to rebuild L26 ROM with some different HTC*.dll, but since i don't master the art of replacing ROM modules (yet), i abbandoned this idea.
After finding some reference about "out of memory" error messages shown by iGO8 on HTC devices, i noticed that L26_KaiserDiamond ROM has only 6MB of page pool allocated.
All the rest is history, as they say.

My wife started to hate me (and my new phone) for all those nights that i spent in front of my computer.
I was almost giving up but i'm happy i got it working!

lau26.. glad to see you come around
yours is the first rom i installed.
i dont see any reason to change.
i have igo8 installed and working fine w/all the maps w/o this extra help.

Well, unless there is something i'm missing, you can't run iGO8 on L26_KaiserDiamond ROM with HTC Home running.
If you can, please let me know what ROM version you have installed what's the RADIO version that you have installed, what's the amount of PROGRAM/STORAGE memory you have in use/available before you start iGO8, and what's the iGO8 version shown in iGO8 about screen.
This post was intended to help out those who try to have iGO8 running with HTC Home enabled on Laurentius KaiserDiamon ROM.

So does it work or not, did you test before posting?
Or is this thread useless?

It has been posted elsewhere that iGO 8 version 8.0.0.41506 aka the "June 3rd 2008" version works fine with the new roms including the later L26 ROMS. No need to change the pagepool at all.
So while maybe not useless, this thread is redundant and partially misleading.

IGO 8 (the specified build 3 june) is working great since L26 V9 was released . Thanks again Mr.Laurentius

Of course i tested before posting. Without making any changes to the ROM, operating system or anything else iGO8 (version 8.0.0.41506 Jun 3 2008) wouldn't start on L26_KaiserDiamond ROM with HTC Home enabled.
After i changed the page pool size to the ROM iGO8 starts without any problems with HTC Home enabled.
IMPORTANT: This post's subject is a little bit missleading: it should say iGO8 runs on L26_KaiserDiamond ROM with HTC Home Enabled
L.E.: By the way, iGO8 doesn't start on Official HTC Windows Mobile 6.1 Release either. I checked their page pool size and guess what: it's set to 4MB just like L26 is. I didn't test it, but i wouldn't be surprised if by changing the page pool size to that official ROM you could run iGO8 with HTC Home.
My guess is that HTC Home eats up too much memory and iGO8 can't allocate enough for it's internal needs.

Indeed, this particular version of iGo8 works with every 6.1 ROM with HTC Home enabled. Tested with Dutty's, DOPOD 3.29.707, Gullum's ThrottleDiamond, Hyperdragon III and, of course Laurentius's Diamond V9.
WARNING! Most cooked ROMs come with AGPS enabled by default which causes iGO8 to hang on startup.

no need to mess with the memory
iGO8 v8.0.0.41506 (June 3rd) works on WM6.1 ROMs with HTC Home, just disable AGPS.
Tested with fresh installs of Dutty's V1 and L26's V9.
Works with at least three different radios including NEON NIKI.
There are many threads on this already. There is no need to mess with the memory.

Not working
This not working i've installed it 2 times & still dosent work

OK, if you get version 8.0.0.41506, June 3, 2008 it will work with HTC home enabled no matter what the page pool is. Just make sure you have AGPS turned off.
Problem solved.

I've seen two types of iGO8 loading errors:
1. iGO8 won't start at all - when trying to run iGO8 from \Program Files\iGO8\iGO8.exe or \Storage Card\iGO8\iGO8.exe the "working" cursor appears and dissappears after 1-2 seconds, and nothing happens (iGO8 won't start, won't display any error messages, won't freeze)
2. iGO8 starts but freezes when displaying "STARTING..." on it's splash screen - the whole device freezes along, there is no response from any hardware buttons (including power button), activesync disconnects (if the device was connected) and the only way to use the device is by soft resetting (small button on the bottom).
The first error was always happening when HTC Home was enabled. I tested it with HTC Official Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM and with L26_KaiserDiamond ROM. So, if i have HTC Home enabled and try to run iGO8 - cursor appears for a couple of seconds and nothing else happens. By disabling HTC Home and soft reseting the device i always was able to run iGO8.
The second error was always happening when Assisted GPS was enabled (as you mentiond - usually all ROMs have this option enabled). Only by disabling this option iGO8 was able to start and run withou problems.
So, what i was trying to explain in this thread is that if someone wants to run iGO8 with HTC Home screen enabled he/she has to change the page pool of the ROM.
As i said in a previous post, if someone was able to install L26_KaiserDiamond ROM (as it is provided by this official download link- that means with 4MB page pool size), install iGO8 (or run directly from Storage Card) and run it (after disabling assisted GPS, of course) with HTC Home enabled, please tell me what is the ROM version, RADIO version, what is the amount of memory (storage/program and inuse/available), and what version of iGO8 you are using, because i was unable to do so.
Thank you.

I will re-install default L26 ROM and re-test it.

Just switching off A-gps does not do it! (if HTC Home is active and after a soft reset).

I have recently installed:
[27 October 08] HyperDragon III DOPOD OS 5.2.19212 Build 19212.1.0.3
After that I installed iGO8, but I have the problem where the program iGo8 is active for about 2 seconds and then stops.
When I read the thread above, it should be related to HTC Home. But is it correct to say that my HyperDragon III DOPOD is not using HTC Home, but Manilla2d?
How can i fix this problem? Should I deactivate Manilla2d??

Ive found that the game Caver works well on the diamond 2 so far!

The slingplayer software for Slingmedia's Slingbox works well even in full screen.

Microsoft Voice Command 1.60 is really, really useful. I used it for a long time now on various devices.
I was disappointed at first that it wouldn't work on the D2 but now I have fixed it. The issue is with activation from a hardware button (there's only one programmable button anyway on the D2 and that is the long press button 1 - the send key). When I went into the button settings and assigned "Voice Command" from the list it just gave an error bleep and nothing else happened. It did work from a bluetooth headset though. So I tried running the actual program "voicecmd.exe" from within a file manager and it worked perfectly!
So, I created a shortcut into \\windows\start menu\Programs so that I had an entry in the programs list for "voicecmd". I then assigned that command into the buttons settings and it works fine now.
I hope this will help anyone else.

Just tested G-Config, it works perfectly!!!

Enable GPS mode in the camera for geotagging and TomTom
Like previous phones, the Topaz includes a mode for embedding your location (from the GPS) into photographs.
This can be enabled by changing the value of the DWORD value Enable from 0 to 1 in the registry at HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/P10.
Initial indications are that the bug that plagues earlier versions (that of placing locations between 0 and 1 degree west of Greenwich to the east of Greenwich instead) is fixed.
To use this feature in TomTom Navigator, take a picture in GPS mode, then copy the photo out of the My POI folder into a folder named GEO-PHOTOS in the root of your storage card. Then TomTom can Navigate to Picture using the embedded co-ordinates.

No, it installed fine. I always get that error when I install the MSVC UK version I bought though. Didn't bother with that version this time and went straight to 1.6.19214 as that had worked perfectly on my HD before I lost it.

Yes the above work.
What I have found that also works:
1. Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3 with NetCF 3.5 installed. Some settings do not change though and the Touch 3D in the extra settings does not work (incompatibility issue).
2. Xmatrix Battery and Memory Meter works (but you must restart/soft reset your D2 after installation even though there is no "restart" option after installation).
3. I have TomTom navigator 7.4 (Australia Maps) and it works ok.
4. RJV SMS Scheduler works a treat but I cannot turn off the audible notification of message sent. Not that annoying only if I am asleep!
5. Kaldma Stopwatch.
6. I presume Tmyynt SD TuneUp works. Installed fine and noticed a slight improvement in file transfer between SD card and device and external computer.
7. TF3D2 Tweak OK, except Program Icons Off does not work. Manilla Landscape works and is soooo cool.
That's it for now. What I am reeeeeally waiting/hoping for is a HardSPL that works on the D2 so we can start flashing a whole bunch of new ROMS.
Best regards to you all.

[Help MortScript] killing manila while running Igo

I have my diamond with the Kimera Ultimate rom, and Igo doesn't like the chubbiness D) of this rom, so it stutters, hiccups, and sometimes totally fail on me.
Now i "noticed" that if i disable manila from home screen before running Igo, it's much better.
I tried this script here:
Kill(manila.exe)
RunWait("%StorageCard%\IGO8\IGO8.exe")
Run(manila.exe)
It does not work:
-manila isn't killed
-%StorageCard% i doubt is right since the diamond doesn't have a storage card
-i think that even if the script killed manila, it would auto-restart...
Any hint?
Ok found somebody else who already did it.
I modified his work.
