Do you now have TTS working at all times reliably? If you do, could you please post the final script that you use to kill touchflo before starting IGO and re-launch touchflo after IGO goes away?

Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] iSlaker:
guys, i am so glad to say i finally managed to make the cutest sat nav software work on my HD, thanks to everyone here and specially for

nocomp

. though i still had to play around to get it to find the gps receiver but it found and it's working. i just won't try now cause it's 4am and it's freezing to death outside.

wish i could install it in to my navman satnav. been playing around with it lately, managed to get to windows ce but even simple apps like an old tomtom will cry for more memory. was worth a go though. should get a good cradle for my hd. any suggestions?

does anyone know where exactly in the touch hd is located the gps receiver? been searching this information for days now.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] wolfs44:
@michael_r,

here is my final script.

It kills Touchflo before starting iGO8, starts also POIObserver and Bluetooth (for my GNS-Traffic-Box) and rotates to Landscape.

After iGO is closed, re-launch Touchflo, POIObserver and Bluetooth are again disabled and rotate back to Portrait.

At all times I have TTS.

@Wolfs44;

Hi,

Very nice to see this script.

Can you explain to me how to implement it in my device?

I understand the script, but have no idea how to run it on wm devices.

thanks in advance!

with regards,

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] johnpatcher:
As he told us before this is a mortscript:

You can get it here. There are also some examples provided, so you should get it working :), at least if you understand german :p.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ikkezelf1:
Thanks for the quick reply.

tought i read all the posts regarding this thread, bur apparently forgot at least one...

German no problem.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] iSlaker:
sorry for being repeatitive but, does anyone know where in the touch hd is located the gps receiver?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] david-v:
I think you will find that info in this document. Enjoy it :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] johnpatcher:
Wow, great document ;). There is some "diagnostic software" metioned, where can I get it?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] iSlaker:
wow!!

david-v, thank you so much for posting this. haven't read the whole thing yet cause finding where's the receiver just became second plan... so so so much to read in this pdf!! really good stuff, mate.

muitissimo obrigado! muchisimas gracias! ;•)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] david-v:
no idea but google is a powerfull friend :). Thats how I found this document. There is a service manual in the wiki of the touch HD. This is probably the same one. However, on the wiki page, the rapidshare account reached its max downloads though, so I cannot tell it is the same document.

Can a moderator refresh that link?

thanks.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] michael_r:
If it not too much to ask, could you please create and post one that just kills touchflo, starts IGO, and re-starts touchflo when IGO is sopped? I assume it is easy for you or I would not ask. Thanks a lot in advance.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] johnpatcher:
This isn't a hard task at all :). Just delete the lines for manila and/or bluetooth, and there you go.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] michael_r:
I am more concerned with Repllog.exe and mouseclick. Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] michael_r:
Do we actualy know for sure that TTS is a conflict with TouchFlo specifically, not just a general memory problem? If it is just a memory issue, do I need to always kill every application before running IGO?

Another question I have is why is that once there is a problem, you could restart again and again, and there is no TTS untill soft reset?

And finally, is just one person using this mort script to kill TouchFlo, or are there others? Because it seems a lot of people do not have this issue to beging with, so one person's experience is not indicative.

Thanks

What version is the newest version?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] david-v:
Nav N Go iGO 8 v8.3.2.64029. That is the retail version. I think upgrades from 8.0 version are available later in feb 2009.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] johnpatcher:
So were do all the guys in here have the 8.3.x version from :D?

Here you all go, Touch HD skin for iGo8 8.3.2.64873, one set each for portrait and landscape, enjoy!

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PRRT5OS0
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] d.cortez:
thanks... so far, works great in landscape!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bogdatov:
Copied branding and data files to proper places, my sys.txt looks ok too. I do not see any difference in using this "skin" (portrait mode). Sure ... loading screen looks different, but that is about it. Am I missing something ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] d.cortez:
use landscape... that's where the difference comes in (if you ask me...)

How to navigate to contacts ?

Hello,

I have quite a few phone contacts with home/work address filled out. I can navigate to them using Google Maps with no problems. But how to do that using iGo8 8.3.2 ?

I tried to modify sys.txt and have

disable_outlookpoi=1

or

disable_outlookpoi=0

does not matter ... no contact appears as POI :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bogdatov:
I just tried that too. In landscape mode I do not see any difference either (besides "load" screen). I was wondering if I SHOULD see any difference if I already had data.zip v8 before with 800x480 and 480x800 resolution ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] d.cortez:
i guess you already had the appropriate zip file; I, one the other hand, had an older version that did not work in landscape.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] emariu:
So is this really a "skin" or just v.8 of data.zip (which I already was using on my HD) ?

Are there any changes(like different navigation tabs with info: distance till the next turn,distance to destination,...) ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tirinoarim:
No, this is just a complete package for those who

1. Havent got iGo working at all

2. Only have a working Landscape or Portrait

3. Are running in Hires (i.e. 400 x 240 doubled)

If you already had a working 800x480 landscape and portrait iGo8 then you will notice no difference (except perhaps you now have a exit button in Advanced Landscape mode!)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Matterhorn:
I notice that in the sys.txt files I see posted in this thread that everyone is using "GDI" driver under [RawDispay].

I read somewhere....that by using "GX" it activates some graphics hardware acceleration. Has anyone else tried this? I've been using GX in my sys.txt for weeks and the refresh rate is smooth like butter. It makes TomTom lool like an antique :). So in short, is anyone else using GX?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] david-v:
Yep, me. GX does not activate acceleration. GDI uses GX. By specifying GX instead of GDI you would get rid of the GDI layer and thus in theory it should be faster. In practice, I did not really see any difference...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] johnpatcher:
Did you say TomTom :D? Search the thread for "gx", there were already some people claiming that gx is smoother.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hmoroni:
Guys,

My iGo is the 8.3.1.57021 running 8.1 Brazilian map. I have installed it and it didn´t worked properly since it stucked while navigating at the map (which is, the voice gave me the directions but the map just freezed).

I have changed portrait to landscape, and again to portrait, and it started to work just fine. However, there was a "black line" ot the bottom of the screen (there is, iGo has not fitted to the screen but it was working and not freezing anymore).

I have read most part of the topics and posts inhere and in order to rearrange things (I want to have iGo duly fitting the screen) I have installed the "all data".zip and has also changed the "sys" text. However, when I start iGo with this new configuration it just don´t start and solely show an error message such as "FFUIERROR: Parse error [</layer> expected]".

I took notice in this topic that it could be incompatibility between my iGo version and the "data.zip" file. However, I just didn´t find the correct version nor a conclusive solution.

Could you please help me?

Thanx in advance.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] iSlaker:
try and get it upgraded to v8.3.2.64873. there's a good data.zip and a sys.txt available somewhere in this thread but I've tried so many ones I couldn't tell which one worked for me. I've pm'd you, check it out and let me know if you need any more help. I'd be more than happy to post these files for you.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] iSlaker:
the script

talking about the script... why the biotouch.exe has to be killed? i've killed this app manually and haven't noticed any difference at all.

also, in this line RegWriteDword ("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TouchFL O 3D","Enabled",0) is this right, the '\TouchFL O 3D",' with spaces in it?

another thing, some of the lines have references to the german version of it, is it possible to create a universal one? i might've seen something using strings with %%...

i'm not going to play the guy who knows everything, i'm really poking in the dark right now and kinda needing some help.

===========

another thing: kinda off-thread subject but is there a way to use these scripts to help reduce lag, like clearing data or anything i might not be aware of? just an idea...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Matterhorn:
Oh yeah...I wasn't very clear :rolleyes: I meant that IGo8 makes TomTom look like an antique :D I just wish I could get the speed cams working. In Switzerland it is forbidden so maybe that is why it doesn't work. I guess I'll have to take a trip to France :confused: to try it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] iSlaker:
is it absolutely vital to have the poiobserver.exe app? google says NEIN! ich kannt das program haben... that was the worst German i could possibly come up with ahahahaha seriously. only forum i managed to find it is in german and requires subscription to download attachments.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hmoroni:
Many Thanx

Thanxs especially to SlakerBoy and david-v everything is working just fine! Smooth and amazing!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] michael_r:
Some things that work for me:

1. It is RegWriteDword ("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TouchFLO 3D","Enabled",0); no space between L and O. This is of course in 2 places

2. biotouch.exe does not seem to do anything for me either, but I kept it. It seems the more processes you kill, the better, more memory for IGO.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] michael_r:
I made this work for me also, thanks a lot.

One problem I have is that if I get a call while navigating, phone app comes up at 0 angle, not 270. After that, IGO comes up in portrait, not landscape as I usually run it, and it is kind of cut in half also. Very ugly. Other than that, it seems fine. I did not use it enough to come to any conclusions as to TTS stability.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] wolfs44:
@michael_r,

with HD Tweak 0.54 you can change the Phone Pad Style ( Point 1.8) from "HD" to "Windows mobile standard"

Incoming call is now in Landscape mode.

After ending, you can close the phone pad and back to navigation.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] wolfs44:
In my script is a line with "POIObserver",

POIObserver is a free program that gives alert by radar- and laser-controls.

Who unused this, can delete the lines. (in germany is it not legal)

Regarding the missing EXIT button in portrait mode:

There appears to be a mistake in one user interface data.zip file, which is the script for the main advanced menu page. Look here in /ui_igo8/480_800/ui/start_480_800.ui file:

<layer ui_AdvMenuMsnd z=30>
<BUTTON xxx template=menu4_1 fxshowdelay=0 text="Find" iconspr="ico_findplace.bmp" onrelease='NEXTSTATE st_AdvFindMenu'>
<BUTTON btnAMM_Route template=menu4_2 fxshowdelay=5 text="Route" iconspr="ico_route.bmp" onrelease='NEXTSTATE st_AdvRouteMenu'>

<BUTTON xxx template=menu6_4 fxshowdelay=20 text="Manage" align="LEFT+70" iconspr="ico_mydata.bmp" onrelease='NEXTSTATE st_AdvMyDataMenu'>
<BUTTON btnAMM_Msnd template=menu6_5 fxshowdelay=15 text="MSN Direct" align="LEFT+70" iconspr="ico_msnd.bmp">

<BUTTON xxx template=menu6_6 fxshowdelay=10 text="Settings" align="LEFT+70" iconspr="ico_settings.bmp" onrelease='vSettingsActPage.set 0, NEXTSTATE st_AdvSettingsMenu'>

<BUTTON btnAMM_MsndStatus template=[B]footer3_3[/B] fxshowdelay=5 text="MSND Status" onlongclick='run sc_show_btn_help "MSND Status"'>
<BUTTON xxx template=footer3_1 fxshowdelay=10 text="" iconspr="icof_map.bmp" iconalign="center" iconvalign="center+5" onlongclick='run sc_show_btn_help "Map"' onrelease='STATE st_NavigateMap'>
<BUTTON xxx template=[B]footer3_3[/B] fxshowdelay=20 text="Exit" onrelease='run sc_Exit' z=1 color=#ff0000 visiblemodel="interface.show_exit" nostress>

</layer>

Look that for the buttons "MSND Status" and "Exit" the script is assigned them to load and show at the same position - "footer3_3". Either comment with semi-colon ( ; ) the row for the MSND Status button or change the exit button to appear at another place - for example, at "footer3_2".

Hi all!

I have a problem with GPS disconnecting every 5 seconds. It locks, then loses the sinal then locks again and ... endless loop. I saw other people complaining from this , but no solution that works was posted.

I am using :HTC HD, iGO8.3.2.64029, data_8.3.2_fixed_v8b.

I tried setting pooling setting (in the rigistry from 1000 to 3000), I tried lowering the baud rate to 38400 and still no luck. :eek:

Any suggestions?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] drbf:
I am running Igo8 v8.3.2.64873 with touchflo running, using the GJ5.6 skin in landscape mode with TTS, 3D, etc working all the time. Almost no GPS lag in 3D or 2D. I have tried all of the 'fixes' and found no difference in performance.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] michael_r:
I do not know if this is related, but the data.zip you are using is not for 64029, but for the later Nov 13 release. Your version (Nov 7) comes with its own data.zip file.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] drbf:
First start up GPS Test 1.04, then run Igo8 and you will have no lost GPS sig.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gervasius:
baud rate must be 9600
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] michael_r:
Why? Did you see this requirement somewhere? Because mine is not, and I do not seem to have any problems. Also if you auto-discover GPS, the baud rate is set much higher.

but i need the latest UK map, the one i have is slightly outdated.. can someone please post a link to the latest one?

Also, on this version i cant seem to see any buildings or a 3D Car? What do i need to do to make these items visible?

What would i need for it to automatically change to portrait from landscape or vice versa when my touch HD is rotated?

all help will be appreciated..

thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cityshark:
rafter - don't expect anyone here posting a link to maps. That is definitely warez stuff, forbidden here.

As for the rotation. Automatic rotaiton could not be, as for the iGo has to be restarted to change portrait/landscape.

As for having the posibility to run iGo in portrait AND landscape at the same time - as far as i tried, that cannot be done too, as iGo does not "know" the WVGA, so it has to be forced tweaking the sys.txt file to run iGo on our WVGA machines at all. All i see as a chance for your is to have 2 sys.txt files and swap them according to your portrait/landscape needs. Correct me someone if I'm wrong...

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dogans:
I've installed iGO8 on my x1, and it works great, I do however have a question:

Does iGO use any Internet data or is it "free" to use the gps (due to the fact that the map is already on the phone)?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] iSlaker:
aaaahmmm... i think you're wondering if iGO will eventually connect to the internet to download some information, if that's what you meant, it's possible, yes, but I don't think it will happen.

now if your question was about iGO depending on internet to function, i mean, to work!, i think i must explain one thing - i noticed that a lot of people get confused about it, my customers always made the same question - iGO or most of GPS software will retrieve positioning information directly from the satellites in the sky which has nothing to do with your network. even if you had a pay as you go service and had ran out of credit it would still work - i was going to say even without a sim card, but not entirely sure.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] david-v:
Even without a sim card. My old Mio A701 is doing service as a navigation device for my wife. No sim card there :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] iSlaker:
that is something very peculiar.

i'm still using the old radio that came with the phone with phamquang's V01 and everyone knows how i been bragging about it's speed and stability. another surprising thing is that back at last 31/12 when i was in Liverpool for new year's the internal GPS worked like a charm. never saw Google Maps find satellites so quickly, found everything i was looking for with my frozen fingers at nice -2 degrees. Also on the way back to London, just by the sake of being a nerd i used my cute iGo on the train...

i mean does this really have anything to do with the radio?? cause im having (now) a great gps experience, after using it for a few days and struggling to lock, now it's amazing... hard to explain, even worse to understand.

I have an intermittent problem when once in a while IGO just looses GPS all together. If I go to GPS setting screen, I do not see even the flashing green bar, so it is not even trying to lock.

I have a question with regards to the screen that gets disabled.

iGo8 is working fine for me, however when it is running for some time (1 min) the screen is put to black.

My energy settings are configured in such way that my screen light will be switched off when I am not using the device for one minute, so I guess this setting kicks in.

Does anybody know if there is a setting somewhere where I can tell that whenever I am using iGO8 the energy settings should be overruled and the screen is not switched off?

Have looked for an answer in the iGO manual and on the internet but could not find one...
