Tiny Keypad in TomTom7?? - Touch HD General

Guys is there a way to fix the really TINY kepyad in TT7? i tried TT6 and have the same problem??
i had the same issue with xperia

I have exactly the same problem - not much help I know but at least you know it's not just you

You need the VGA version of Tomtom.

i have the vga version cab it doesnt work, only the qvga version works

There are several variants of the V7 cab, some of which are for VGA devices and will install on the HD. Check the other threads regarding Tomtom for the correct CAB.

Is the 7.910.985 vga cab the correct one to use on the HD?

Yes it is.

I went through that problem. Version 7.450.9028 doesn't matter if it's qvga or vga has got a tiny keyboard. You have to use 7.910.9185 VGA and keyboard is perfect in that version.
BUT!!! That version is a lot slower that 7.450.9028
So, there is no perfect sollution Good looking or good working

a lot slower in what sense? In the FPS? In the response time? In the lag?

Looks like FPS but it also causes lag

TomTom 7 running slow on HD

I have recently upgraded from the HTC Kaiser to the HTC Touch HD.
Before I switched to the HD I had TT7_910.9185 installed on my Kaiser and it worked perfectly.
After upgrading to the HD I tried installing the same 'TT7_910.9185_SIGNED.htc_diamond_cracked' cab that I had previously used on my Kaiser but it wouldn't install. Eventually though I found another version that did. This version was 'TT7_910.9185_QVGA blue'.
Since installing this new file onto my HD I have noticed that TomTom runs far slower that it used to on the Kaiser (ie. the graphics are more jerky!).
Is there is anything I can do to make the program run more smooth?
Maybe if anyone can point me to a different installation cab?
The problem is not linked to the map because I am using the same UK and Ireland 8.15.2024 map that I used to use on the Kaiser... The problem is also not linked to lack of storage space because there is plenty of space remaining on my SD card.
Also, Does anybody know if it is possible to flip the screen in TT7 on the HD?
Thanks in advance.

I can't help you with the speed issue.
But to rotate the screen via the accelerometer, you can use third-party freeware like Gsen or Gyrator.
Cheers Chris Cross.
Can anyone help me with the speed issue?
Try version VGA black. I've got this one and it's alright.

the fps of tomtom on the HD is a lot slower than the kaiser when comparing the two side by side. this is due to the screen resolution.

Exactly true. This is why to get the best performance from TT on the HD use the VGA Black cab and use less POIs. It will also be faster if you use it in 2D mode. You could also try u

Use the good cab VGA Black, decrease the POIs, consider using it in 2D, maybe install the SD card speed fix in the HD Wiki of this site and disable Activesync from dragging down the system.
cheers Matterhorn...
is the 'good' VGA Black cab the one lipa47 posted a link to in this thread?

TomTom v7.910.9185 or TomTom 7.450 which is better?

All,
Which version of TomTom v7.910.9185 or TomTom 7.450 is better? I have been running 7.4 without issues and would like to know what the differences are before upgrading? If there are no advantages I will stay as is since it works!
Also, does the software respond slower in different build?

the 7.910 version has large qwerty for WVGA display and is detected by TTHome.

Does it crash or freeze at anytime? I have heard 7.9 has a few issues whcih is why i stayed on the previous version.

I recommend to stay on 7.450. Tried both version more than a week and the 7.450 is absolutly fine on the my HD, instead of a few small problems with 7.910.
No problem with TT7_910.9185_VGA black on my BlackStone
TomTom v7.910.9185 or TomTom 7.450 which is better?
There's only one way to find out...FIGHT!!
Absolutely 7.910.9185
QWERTY large
Splash full screen
More stable
What difference beetwen the two version?
Just like Batista70 , i use the TT7_910.9185_VGA black version and it's ok on my HD.
7.910 seems to update the screen a lot slower then 7.450. Is really noticable when going around roundabouts. I am sticking with 7.450 for now, even if I have to go back to a v7 map.
I'm still with the old release, it works great but I'll give a try to newer.
Anyway there are no additional features for new devices or res.
looks like most people want TomTom 7.450 !"
I experienced some problems with fonts squashed together using the old version.
For me, the newer version fixes these issues with a larger "keypad" and makes it easier to use with fingers. I've not experinced any bugs with it.
Be aware, however, that there seem to be numerous "variants" of the 7.910 revision kicking around on the internet and some of them don't seem to work properly on the 'HD. There is a link on this forum to a set of cabfiles that do work.
Right..
I have them both.. and for me.. useability is more important than any speed/refresh issue.
v7.910.9185 works fine. It has a keyboard that you can use when entering destinations.
7.450 is good.. but it has a really unusable keyboard for destinations.
Takes your pick
I use 7.910

Many thanks

Opera from new ROM is useless (for me)

Hi All,
Opera build 2532 that comes with the new ROM has a bug with Outlook Web Access pages....unfortunately that means I can't use it. There seem to be a lot of other (non X1 specific) builds around. Does anyone know if any of them will work well on the X1 and support the touch pad?
TIA
For me, in v.2532, AEKmap (for greek layout writing with hard keyboard) is not working.
I've already tried 2520, 2808, 15233, beta2, 86.5, none of them is working with optical button.
I was thinking about OMNIA version (which has optical as well)... but which is it?

Thanks for the link. I already found build 15233 in a thread SOMEWHERE in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260
Might have been the Omnia QVGA thread where someone posted a VGA cab. Yes, that build works exceptionally well. Has the new invisible zoom bar. The touch pad doesn't work ....... but what the hell, who needs it when you can move th page with your finger.
There is a later build 15529 but zooming really does NOT work very well on my Xperia and it seems otherwise the same.
Cheers
I would like to have touch pad working...
I think that it is very usefull when you are browsing with auto zoom in "fullscreen".

Keyboard too small in Tomtom

hello,
i've got tomtom 7 installed on my HD2 but the keyboard is extremely small. any idea how to fix that? changing in to large in preferences doesn't make any difference, it's about the size of the status bar on the bottom. the same version of tomtom on my i-mate 9502 works fine. any ideas? thanks.
Make room for a small one
Ironic as it sounds but go into your settings and change the keyboard to smal... its the same on the HD from what I can remember.. If it dont wok dont flame me as I dont own either device but did this on my mates HD and it worked ;-)
didn't work for me.
You need wvga version instead of qvga
I have tomtom 7.916 and the keyboard is perfect. Maybe you have an old tomtom version ?
I have found by using the BSB tweeks mod and enable the TOM TOM Prog to turn to landscape when you turn phone, the keyboard is made much much bigger
thanks for your replies.
small keyboard is the same as large, doesn't matter what i chose.
also, i don't know where i can get the wvga version as the only one i've got is the qvga.
i have tomtom 7.450 which is not newest but it worked fine on my vga screen in i-mate 9502.
I have a cab for 7.9 but it won't acknowledge my perfectly legal map.

We're not allowed to post links to warez sites, but if you were to look at the usual suspect ppc web sites I'm sure there are ways to activate your maps
As far as I know TomTom don't officially support the HD2 yet, but there are ways around this. If you have a legit map and legit TomTom software I personally don't have any issues with you using an alternative source for your downloads.

WVGA fix?

Hi, I tried hard to find som WVGA fix similar to one working on Xperia X1, unfortunately without any luck... Tried X1 WVGA fix v1, v2 and v3, but none works on my X2...
I want something to make VGA apps working, for those who don't know what's WVGA fix for. It cuts display (resolution) to VGA and makes black stripes on edges, so VGA programs don't have problems switching to other resolution.
If someone knows any solution (maybe I'm just dumb and can't google or search forum properly), please let me know!
hmm, thats interesting, i use it too and its working fine on my x2 (i use it to play cod 2). are you sure you have tried version 4? because version 4 is the only compatible version with 6.5.3. either way. here is the thread if you just want to try and download it again. good luck
thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455974
Thanks a lot! So I just suck at googling, didn't find v4 =)
