OK - update. I phoned TomTom support yeaterday and spoke to an advisor. She was confused about the TT7 versions available for purchase, as she was not aware TT7 was available to buy YET (only pre-installed on some devices - but not in UK). She thanked me for bringing it to their attention, and promised to get back to me on whether it was legal software and whether I should go ahead and buy.

As she promised, she then raised a Support Call which said they would get back to me.

I've checked again just now and the question has been deleted but I have had no notification whatsoever. Read into that what you will - but the websites are still selling TT7 and it hasn't been taken down....

My guess is they have found nothing illegal, but don't want to validate buying from those sites before they put it on sale themselves - but I may be wrong.

I have raised another question seeking clarification - as I don't want to waste £56 if I can avoid it.....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] whk:
I also would love to upgrade to TOMTOM 7 and called support here in the US just now. They tell me that TT7 has been released in EROPE only and is expected in the state "soon" with no time frame given.

Until then TT6 is the latest and greatest for the US according to TomTom support.

screw tomtom, its all about iGO!!! and yes im in the US....updated POIs and 3d Maps...TomTom is a lackluster GPS in comparison(i've tried both)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Ramsfan_Jim:
OK, I've spoken to TomTom support again. They confirmed that TomTom navigator 7 is not available anywhere as a stand alone application (for download or on a memory card) and is not availbale in the UK at all.

They are aware a number of people have downloaded versions, but they cannot confirm maps will work, and will not support it (or offer refunds on maps).

Their legal dept. is chasing up the sites offerring it for sale illegally.

He advised me to purchase an alternative navigation system (i.e. NOT TomTom), but clearly could not give me a recommendation.

Any suggestions? What does iGo offer?

I need:-

- ability to install on a microSD card (so I can install alongside my music and other apps)

- Live Traffic updates via internet link

- Speed Cameras

- Map update facility (so it does not become obsolete)

- Works on Kaiser

I haven't found any application which can do this.

:mad:

TomTom isn't as flashy, but iGO8 is just plain unstable. It won't run for me for more than 30 minutes without crashing, and it seems to use endless amounts of ram. I almost always find every background app gone when I exit iGO8 (or, it exits itself....)

I like iGO8 but it just doesn't cut it for real navigation for me, I don't want to be re-starting it in the middle of driving.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Ramsfan_Jim:
Latest from TomTom:-

I have just checked with my 2nd line department and have found out that some retailers are offering Nav 7 with maps on SD card.

One company that does have licensing for the software is Navteq. Please check that your PDA/Phone is compatible with it. I have also been advised that if you have any technical issue with the product, then to contact the point of sale, as they are installing the software onto the cards.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

With Kind Regards

The TomTom Customer Care Team

So maybe some websites ARE selling it legally? Anyone know which sites are supplied by Navteq? (Their website doesn't help...)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Ramsfan_Jim:
All the more reason you'd think TomTom would sell stuff while they can....

;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] warmkiwi99:
True!

Looks encouraging if they are selling V7 through Distributors although a bit worrying that they don't appear to know that they are....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Ramsfan_Jim:
Now confirmed - TomTom has mailed me saying Handtec ARE licensed distributors of TomTom Navigator 7.

Order placed...:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] anoano:
Thanks for posting. Please confirm once you installed it and if all was OK. On TT's official website, they still don't sell Nav7 with new maps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] screetch:
can you use the software on a different memory card? I normally use a 4GB one and would like to continue using it jsut for the extra space..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Ramsfan_Jim:
Yes it's arrived and installed correctly - works with new TomTom Home 2.6.

Yes, I copied to my 16Gb card first and then installed - it works.

To be honest it was fiddly installing this way and I had to reboot the device a couple of times. I suspect this was because I was reluctant to remove TT6 before installing TT7 -this was because a) I wasn't entirely sure it would work, b) I didn't want to lose my existing TomTom subscriptions & c) I didn't want to lose my POIs.

As a result I renamed my old TT6 files / directories first, then copied everything from the TT7 disk onto my card.

At first when I booted the device it tried to load Navigon (!?) - I suspect because I had been trialling this recently and the cab file may still have been knocking around.

Then it booted straight into the old TT6 applications so I had to quit out and move the TT6 exe (rather than just renaming).

After all that I had to start the cab file manually, but it then worked.

Best of all this then kept my favourites and POIs.

I then connected to the PC and after it initially tried to connect via my old TTHome 1.5, I manually started TTHome 2.6 and it recognised it and updated the maps, Speed Cameras etc. It even transferred my voice subscriptions to the new version.

I now need to use it for a few days to check its all perfect before I delete the old TT6 files, but at first glance it seems fine.:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ADB100:
What is the actual version of this TT7 since this seems to be an 'official' retail version and not the version that has been hacked out of the Diamond or IOLite?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Ramsfan_Jim:
Mine is version 7.910.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ADB100:
Assuming this is 7.910(9185) then it is the same version that ships with the Diamond - the IOLite has a slightly later version - 7.915(9196) with only a few cosmetic differences. I would have thought TomTom would have changed the version numbers since the IOLite & Diamond versions are VGA aren't they?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Ramsfan_Jim:
Yes, but you have to consider that this ISN'T a TomTom Official release - they have told me they are only intending to ship TT7 pre-installed on devices (although not on any in the UK to date, or in the forseeable future) in their current plans.

Clearly they have a commercial relationship with certain suppliers (eg Navteq) for maps, but they also then allow them to license their products.

Putting 2 and 2 together, I think maybe TomTom have had so many issues with people selling illegal copes of the software, that they are washing their hands of it, and letting distributors worry about it instead. When they confirmed Handtec ARE selling legal copies, they said "I have also been advised that if you have any technical issue with the product, then to contact the point of sale, as they are installing the software onto the cards."

So this isn't an official release, but it is legal.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] anoano:

I was unaware this was RARE, I got tomtom 7 when it came out. I've been using the US map pack for a while. it's due for it's first map update but if you want I can send you the CAB
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Ramsfan_Jim:
Yes - noticed that. I don't know why they couldn't tell me that when I asked less than 2 weeks ago. At that point they said there were no plans to release it themselves - so I paid someone else (Handtec) instead of TomTom direct.

Has anyone bought direct from TomTom? If so, what version did you get ? (I want to be sure I got the latest version from Handtec).

I have noticed significantly more crashes and hang-ups on the Kaiser with TT7 as opposed to TT6, which is concerning. I'm hoping there may be a bug-fix version available somewhere...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] philznow101:
sorry but whoever you spoke to is a idiot ive had tomtom7 on my kaiser since it was relased for the other htc models and of course he would tell you to purchase made by tomtom give me a message
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] motocrossmann:
Totally agree. IGO8 is pretty. But it also very unstable, and can't do real time traffic over GSM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Ramsfan_Jim:
Has anyone on this forum installed TT7 on an 8Gb or 16Gb Micro-SD?

TomTom are claiming the stability problems I am having are due to it being installed on a 16Gb card - whereas I never had any problems with TT6.

I'd just like confirmation that anyone else has got it working ok on a higher capacity card.

Cheers,

Jim.

A topic search didn't help, so maybe someone can point me in the right direction ...

Google Maps used to work with my Xperia X1a here in Newfoundland, and in fact I was surprised how accurate it was. However, now all I get is the "Your position is temporarily unavailable" message. The following is what has occurred between then and now:

(1) I purchased a Rogers SIM and activated it without a data plan (for the time being, wanting to lean on wifi for as long as possible). In Google Maps, I have "Use GPS" enabled.

(2) I ran into a system problem with an errant software, and had to hard reset and re-install softwares (I'm not sure what caused the problem, but I'm re-installing softwares one at a time). The current version of Google Maps

is

installed.

I'm posting here just in case the problem is hardware specific -- I'll also investigate the symptoms at Google in case it's a general configuration problem.

TIA :)

[XPERIA X1 General] rarewolf:
I was able to remedy the problem by downloading and installing a small program called GPStest. Running it implied that the correct baud rate for COM4 should be 9600. Changing it from 4800 to 9600 fixed the problem nicely (... altho it's strange that most users are posting that 4800 is the correct baud rate ...).

cheerios :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] m1le5:
With the dawn of manila over 6.5, I'd like to request a cab to make these two beautiful interfaces separate panels. I purchased my Xperia because of the slick hardware and styling, as well as the cool concept of panels.

I know you can just check and uncheck some boxes, but I think it would be slick (as do many others) if we could put them as panels (preferably on the new R3 panel manager). If anyone has anything brewing, I'd be more than happy to test.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] CowMix:
Someone knows how to make a panel could easily convert touchflo detacher into panels imo, I was gonna try working on it but school has caught up with me
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lex360:
Is it soo dif. 2 make the existing panel cab for the TF3d beta 2 cab work with the beta 3?:confused:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] m1le5:
Would it be possible to clone the today screen and unlock it as a panel, with independant settings etc, then tick the different boxes for titanium and touchflo on the different main today? I'm not familiar with the xperia sdk etc and have never made a cab. I thinks fards said he was looking at it.

Could anyone familiar with the touchflo detatcher say how its done? And whether it can be adapted for winmo6.5?

i tired to enable manila v1 as panel in wm6.1. i no its not the same but here is my experience in case someone wants to try and devolp a panel for the new manillla....

1.new start menu must be on.

2. turning off manila from do and then loading touchflo panel leaves us with a white screen with loading....

3. if u press start at this point. the manila start menu loads and after u close the start menu......you will find that manilla in panel started......not much problem after that and everything runs fine

NOW:

i havnt tried this in wm6.5 coz that would probably require titanium start to be off.....which i dont want.

but the point is: manilla is loaded all we need to do is trigger it to show up....

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] akp99:
Tried at the weekend - it's easy to make a html switcher panel but this is no easier than just ticking what you want in today settings. And it's easy enough to make a show manila panel using Touchflo detacher, which then takes you to Manila home automatically, but the html panel is still truly a blank white screen not TFlo so it's not functional as it should be.

And I couldn't figure out a way that the standard today would always show Titanium. It would have to use the panel button using mortscript to close Manila, then load panel manager in order for it to work. It would be usable (just) but not satisfactory enough for me to spend time making it.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] CowMix:
ya I tried using a simple html program launcher panel and found that although it loads up and closes the manilla program it doesn't redirect you back to the home screen after its done so you can view it, I've been looking through c++ panel documentation trying to understand how panels work.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] m1le5:
Would Titanium be lighter detached...? I'm not really sure how to approach it from a programming perspective, but it would be amazing. The second today does work REALLY well, but I would LOVE to see it as a panel.

[G1 General] twoolie:
Hey all.

Firstly please forgive me it this seems pretty basic however i seem to have lost the ability to mount the cache partition on my JF1.5 Dev Phone.

The upgrade process went fine, had been using it for a week, then i installed an animated splash screen made for non-cupcake builds and it bricked my phone. i got the black screen of wait in place of an animated load screen. luckily, anticipating such problems, i had just done a full nandroid backup.

now here's the problem. while backing up from nandroid, i was informed that the cache partition does not exist.

looking in the filesystem, there is a /cache folder but nothing in it and i have lost the ability to install apps via the market.

running mount shows:

rootfs on / type rootfs (ro)

tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=755)

devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=600)

proc on /proc type proc (rw)

sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)

tmpfs on /sqlite_stmt_journals type tmpfs (rw,size=4096k)

/dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system type yaffs2 (ro)

/dev/block/loop0 on /system/modules type cramfs (ro)

/dev/block/loop1 on /system/xbin type cramfs (ro)

/dev/block/mtdblock5 on /data type yaffs2 (rw,nosuid,nodev)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd type ext2 (rw,errors=continue)

/dev/block//vold/179:1 on /sdcard type vfat (rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=

1000,gid=1000,fmask=0711,dmask=0700,allow_utime=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=is

o8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8)

and the partitions table shows:

major minor #blocks name

7 0 204 loop0

7 1 1936 loop1

31 0 256 mtdblock0

31 1 5120 mtdblock1

31 2 2560 mtdblock2

31 3 69120 mtdblock3

31 4 69120 mtdblock4

31 5 76544 mtdblock5

179 0 3872256 mmcblk0

179 1 3349521 mmcblk0p1

179 2 522112 mmcblk0p2

please help, i have tried mounting it manually to mtdblock4 with the command:

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /cache

mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock4 on /cache failed: Invalid argument
[G1 General] twoolie:
If any more information than this is needed i can supply logcat file etc...
[G1 General] cal3thousand:
wouldn't the command be:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /cache

??

but I fail to see why you are doing this, care to explain so i can understand?
[G1 General] twoolie:
ok maybe i should explain better. there are 3 major blocks set aside for the use of the filesystem. mtdblock3 is set aside for the /system partition, mtdblock4 is set aside for /cache and mtdblock5 is set aside for /data. cache is important because it caches objects for the dalvic VM, web pages for the browser and most importantly, it stores apks from the market while downloading. now the first two are not so bad because the dalvic vm will run, just a little slower and the browser will browse, ablight will not be able to cache pages and will only have access to what is in ram. but because the market will wait to be able to place a file in /cache before downloading it, this effectively means i will never be able to download/install from the market.

Now what happened was when i created my nandroid backup it backed up system.img, cache.img and data.img

i then bricked the system and wanted to restore from nandroid backups. first i put back the system, then data but the phone wouldnt accept a cache image. fastboot is unable to mount it, jf recovery is unable to mount it, and the android OS is unable to mount it.

also i tried your suggestion but mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /cache returns the same error message:

mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock4 on /cache failed: Invalid argument

also, mount -a returns:

mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock4 on /cache failed: Invalid argument

mount: mounting /system/modules/modules.cramfs on /system/modules failed: No such file or directory

mount: mounting /system/xbin/xbin.cramfs on /system/xbin failed: No such file or directory

i'm hoping that this means something to somebody. does this just mean i am missing cramfs modules i need?

any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
[G1 General] jashsu:
It would be a roundabout way, but DREAIMG.NBH will restore partitions. Of course you'd have to then do the rooting process all over again.
[G1 General] cal3thousand:
Wait... but to do nandroid, don't you want to just restore

system.img

data.img

boot.img

so the commands would be

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash userdata data.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

I guess I'm failing to see why cache needs to be restored. won't the OS just clear it out an write over it eventually anyways?

Or am I missing something?
[HTC Vox] tobbbie:
After messing around with cooked ROMs and my first (successful) attempt to replace a bootscreen on such a cooked device, I decided to do this as well with my VDA V based ROM.

But what the heck...

- after the (replaced) initial Bootscreen showing for 10 seconds

- the WinCE Logo came back and stayed until

- the HKLM\Software\HTC\Startup\Image took over

ARGH! I tried all known places to remove links to files, even copied my logo over the ms_splash.png - no way to change that. Until I noticed the Registry Key:

- HKLM\Software\HTC\SHOWWINCELOGO and its value ShowTime.

This made me suspicious and since playing with the value of ShowTime did not yield results (my value was 7 - opposed to 7000 as seen in e.g. the latest SNAP Rom) - I decided to rename the Key to something different, so SHOWWINCELOGO moved to Z_SHOWWINCELOGO.

Reboot - no unwanted WinCeLogo any more :-)

I could not reproduce this with the Cooked ROM, so it may be limited to OEM versions of the VOX.

I found no reference of this Key in any file of a dumped ROM (except in the default.hv) - but I am not sure which ROM I have dumped still on the disk, just noticed it is a WM6.1. May re-check this on the Dump of my VDA V ROM (6.0) if I find time (probably not).
