Notification error - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

I installed TomTom, but the icon never appeared and I couldn't get it to run .... so I uninstalled it which seemed to work fine, but Windows is now giving me a notification error at regular intervals 'cannot execute /windows/ttgpseng.exe'. It looks like a TomTom related thing. Do I need to delete something from the registry?
Thanks
Mike

You need to reinstall the gps part of tomtom, I have noticed that when installing tomtom and carrying out an upgrade the gps module does not unzip and shows as a cab file on the pda. Install the latest 2.09 gps and allow it to overwrite the existing files, it should then hopefully work.

I think I'd rather just remove it completely ..... do you know how I can get rid of this last trace of it
Mike

Navigate to windows/startup and delete from there, then navigate to window/startmenu/programs and delete from there. If you are having problems with tomtom let me know and I may be able to help, this problem sometimes occur when you are applying the patch so you dont have to keep applying to tomtom for a re registration code every time you change pda's.

I tried to find how to reply to you direct, but couldn't, so sorry to the rest of you guys who must be getting bored with this......
I've checked those locations and there doesn't seem to be anything that looks like it's related to TomTom. I think something in Windows is calling this ttgpseng.exe file, and not finding it because the unisntall removed it ( but not the reference to it). I decided not to use TOmTom partly because I've discovered www.pocketfms.com which is more suited to my microlighting and there's only so much room for maps.
Thanks
Mike

You'll need to get dbView http://www.ipaqsoft.net/php/trackclick.php?link=http://www.pocketpcsoft.net/zips/dbview.zip&id=299 and remove the entry in the DB_notification_events
I've not searched the whole thing but I'm pretty sure it's the only one.

O2 Exec set up from new...only for O2

THE CABS IN HERE A FOR O2 (IF SOMEONE CAN CHNGE THIS AND PUT THE UPLOADS IN WIKI AND REPLACE WITH LINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT)
Ok so I bought an XDa Exec.. and like most thought it was going to be great when in truth it sucked..
With the help of all those on here (far to many to mention I now have by far the fastest most stable pDA I have ever had) This got me to thinking that to have all the info and files in one place would maybe help other O2 users so here goes..
What to do..
Firstly If your device has already been running then Hard reset and perform vanilla install.
Press the two -- keys on the keyboard at the same time and reset (yes that the one to the left of the red phone button and the one to the right of the green phone button)
once set up begins go through the screen set up and the device will give you a three second warning when this appears soft reset.
when it boots up you now have vanila install. ie its running but without all the O2 crap but also without your settings.
Next you need to get certain files.
UNI_ext_rom unlocker frem here http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=59&func=view&catid=40&id=7869#7869
regedit (trial here) http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=17108
O2 connections only cab at bottom of post
This extended Rom at bottom of post
Pocket Mechanic: Download (www.antontomov.com) and install this essential app. You have a few days on trial, and it's necessary for some steps
Ok now using active sync connect to your device and place the following in my documents (anywhere realy I just find I remember that)
*UNI_ext_rom unlocker
*regedit
*O2 connections only cab
*Pocket Mechanic
run both before resetting and also open regedit and change the following
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"Bootphase"=dword:00000002
"Order"=dword:00000001
"LoadFlags"=dword:00000001
"DriverPath"="Drivers\\BuiltIn\\TrueFFS_G31"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"MountHidden"=dword:00000000
"Folder"="Extended_ROM"
"PartitionDriver"=""
"Name"=""
"DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"
RESTART EXEC.
ONCE RESTARTED CONNECT VIA ACTIVE SYNC
you should now be able to see and edit the extended rom. delete all files then unzip the extended rom you downloaded from here and copy all the files across into the folder.
Now hard reset the device
This time allow the extended rom to install ie do not stop at the 3 seconds bit.
NOW browse to my documents and run pocket mechanic.
then run O2 connections only cab
this will then ask you to choose installation choose the bottom one and it will restart your device.
now browse to programs pocket mechanic and follow below
Notification Queue: This can be done later, but it's nice to get familiar with this process whilst your queue is small. Using PM, open the notification queue. You may already (yes!) find some duplicate (yellow icon) sddeamon entries. These seem to replicate during an ActiveSync. You can/must delete all duplicates from time to time. You will also, in future, find some "\.\\Notification.....SCRIPT..." entries. Keep an eye out for these. Most mature within minutes of you finding them, so let them expire. Many are future-dated and tightly back-to-back. These can nearly always (I've never had a regret) be deleted without repercussions. If you don't manage these, they tend to breed, and anyone with XDA experience knows what happens when your queue fills up (failed alarms etc). I'm unclear as to where these come from - undoutedly an app that is not behaving elegantly (regular registration checks etc), and if you follow the steps on this post you should NOT find any - ie the apps here do not seem to be culprits. But, keep an eye open...
Registry cleanup: Again, this can be done later, however you'll soon see the beenfit of doing it now. Using PM, run registry cleaner. You'll get around 6 entries, all of which can safely be deleted. If you did not follow step 1, you may have to examine eahc entry to see if the O2 ROM is messier. The beauty of this step is that from now on, you can safely clean everything that PM finds in the knowledge that it's a leave-behind from an app you installed, and now you can install, de-install, and provided you clean up the directories (easy) you KNOW for sure that you've completely gotten rid of the failed app. Winner!
OK now you can install all the apps you need. I have copied the cab files to the storage card that way if I ever have to hard reset I have everthing, please note I also copied the O2 connections only cab to there.
WELL I am open to comments about this and must stress you do this at your own risk but hell it worked for me and I have as I said the fastest PDA I have ever had.
so over to you guys.. PLEASE note this is in no way my own work it is all thanks to other people on here but hopefully I have put it all in one place..
all comments welcome accept the one that sais Magpies a knob
Hi many people are looking
and a few downloading comments would be good..
does it work any ideas of additions into it etc etc etc
I like it, but for a new Pocket PC user such as myself. It might be hard to follow some of your instructions. But I like the idea of putting Pocket Mechanic in the ExtROM. I was considering of doing this too, but I want to add MemMaid and HandyMenu with Pocket Mechanic.
This would be a temporary use for the ExtROM for now before Buzzzzzz releases the partition hack. Then, I would rather use the ExtROM as part of my internal memory.
I think you need to WARN PEOPLE CLEARLY THAT DELETING FILES FROM ORIGINAL EXT ROM IS NOT GOOD.
And then let them make up their own mind.
I thought about doing what you posted but tbh its too much bother.
It runs OK as it is. All I use this thing for is phone, streaming radio and anime.
In corporate with no crap OEM stuff I havent tested and normal o2 ext rom it works fine.
I wanna say thanks, had some spare time todaylooking after the sick missus and carried out the procedure, dont know if its running much better than my corp install before but it was good fun and easy to follow

TomTom Questions - a couple that I think I can solve, or not

Questions for those with TomTom successfully on a Wizard....
1. How? The CDs won't load! The application CD blows up immediately when you run the setup application - it never even attempts to talk to ActiveSync. Can't load the code this way!
2. The first Map CD fails also with an "premature end of JPEG file" error message (WTF?!) If I use the SECOND Map CD, I can load maps. Kinda. They will load to my PC (tell it I have a "Go", then when it errors out tell it to load to a directory) which I think I can then copy over. Maybe.....
3. Having seen someone else's setup, I'm wondering something - can you plan a route that spans more than one map? It didn't look like it! That sucks SEVERELY for long trips.....
Thanks in advance....
Can't help on 1 & 2, but I have heard of people getting bad CD's and getting them replaced by TomTOm fixes their issues. I've been fortunate to get everything working perfectly the first time.
To answer #3, yes you can plan a route that spans several states. You need to either load one of the regional maps or the 'Major Roads and Highways' map.

I've opened a ticket with them - I've heard their support is legendarily BAD (as in no replies at all in some cases), so we'll see. If I have two bad CDs, then if they replace them all's well.
But right now what I have is a worthless piece of software that cost me $150 - and I am NOT happy about that..... I guess the only good point is that I can't even activate it, so if its a Wizard incompatability probelm I can stick it on eBAY and the code is still good....
Here's the part of the solution....
Wizard = WM5.
You can't use the default loader on the CDs to install the program to a WM5 device.
Solution. Go to TomTom's website. Go to support and download the latest patch (version 5.21). Here's a link that sure work:
http://www.tomtom.com/support/solution.php?GID=3&PID=188&SID=198&CID=0&Language=1&FID=3361
Run the program on your PC (not your wizard) and install on your wizard once you've established an ActiveSync Connection.
Now. You'll need to get a voice file off the CD. Put in the first disk (i.e Disk number 1) and look for a directory called voice (I think). An easier way may be to search the CD for a file named USAM.cab. This is the voice for "Richard". You can experiment with different voices later. Copy this file to your PPC (i.e. right-click on the file, click "copy", then right-click on the activesync icon (while connected)-> click "explore". Find the directory you want to paste it to (it doesn't really matter) and right click and click "paste".) Now the file is on your PPC.
From your PPC File Explorer (not windows), click on the USAM.cab to install the file. We're almost finished.
Now simply install the map that you want.
No you can't navigate between regions; however, if you select the "Other Map" you see a couple of national maps.
had the same problem like Genesis3 first.
In my case it was insufficient memory on my SD card.
After inserting a 1GB card everything went ok.
Seems like TT5 checks available memory and quits without any error message if memory is'nt enough.
In my experience TT5 would not instal over activesync on WM5, but can be installed manually, and will run perfectly OK except for not being able to find a BT GPS receiver (not sure about wired GPS as I haven't tried it).
See the details I posted about 10 from the top in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43412&highlight=
To use the BT receiver you will need the TT V5.21 upgrade.
I have a 1G SD card in my Wizard; its half-full with "stuff", but 512MB sure ought to be plenty I'd think!
You can't just run the update from their website, it is a patch, not the full install.
"This update can ONLY be used when you have already installed a registered version of TomTom NAVIGATOR 5 on your Pocket PC/Palm OS device."
As far as support - call, don't mess with submitting a ticket. They are actually really good.
I beg to differ....
ryanc2,
You previous post is simply incorrect. I've download the patch, installed it on my JasJar and had no problems. You HAVE to install the voice from the original TT CDs or else you'll never get past the "Start -Up Wizard" in TT.
You will need to enter your activation code (you get from www.ttcode.com) during the start up process.
Also, I've installed v.5.21 and have used my BT receiver with no problems. My guess is that the people who are having problems with this do not have their BT GPS configured properly or they're running a cracked version (don't read into anything. I'm not accusing anyone! I'm just telling what I've found).
BTW, I've found installing TT maps via an external card reader (i.e. pop the card out of your wizard and plug it directly into your computer via card read) is the fastest and easier way to copy maps.

O2, New rom, and not all of WM5 + route 66 Nav 7 error

Hi guys, I have a small problem, I have a Xda exe, and bought Route 66's Navigator 7 to run on my unit, problem is this when I try to install the cab file (which is sucessful) it fires up: Error one or more required files cannot be found. please reinstall the application. (close window). I have searched the net and this form for answers/solutions but can't seem to find any. When I was on other sites abt wm5 and set up problems I noticed that there is certain things you cannot get access to on the wm5/O2 software. ie, Like tring to set up a blue tooth connection, what you get with o2 is their attempt of a coms software rather than keeping it simple like windows based interface that everyone else has.
Is there anyway you can stop the o2 customisation cab running after a hard reset, as I think o2 are deleteing files that are required to run route 66. Also is there a way to have just wm5 installed the way you would get windows xp out of the box the way microsoft designed it without o2, or T-mobile mucking it up? :!: :?
Oh and by the way Microsoft as released the Beta of ActiveSync 4.2, which cleared up a lot of my connection problems if anyones interested in the link for it come back to me..
I believe that if you hard reset, go through the touchscreen set up and copy/paste tutorial, when it comes to the 'Tap the screen to finish setup' (ie - when all the guff is installed) if you then soft reset it stops the CAB file from installing and you're left with WM5 as Bill Gate$ intended it (Should point out that i've never tried it though, so it may be completely wrong!) Hope this helps
Oink1....Thanks for the reply on that, I will try that next time round and let you know. cheers

Vario software problem...help!

hi there, as this is my first post and i'm definitely a relative n00b here, please go easy on me.
right, the problem:-
i have a Vario2 on the UK T mobile network and althought it's my first PDA i have to say i love it.the only problem i've had is when i tried to install TomTom.
before this handset i had a Nokia 6680 on which i installed Tomtom 5, so when i got my Vario i thought i'd install the same software ( my Tomtom disk has both the symbian and smartfhone versions on).
the install didn't work so i simply deleted it and forgot about it.
at a later date i got hold of Tomtom 6 and tried to install it but one of the files will not execute so there's definitely something up with my device as i've installed the same software on two other Vario2's without a hitch.
i may be wrong here, and i probably am, but i'm of the opinion that when i removed Tomtom 5 i didn't fully get all the files out and therefore when i try to install Tomtom 6 it detects the presence of some version 5 files and aborts.
if i'm right can anyone tell me how to rectify this and if i'm not can you guys tell me where i'm going wrong.
thanks in advance, i'v been viewing these forums for a while but only just registered today.
this seems like a very friendly and imformative community.
I may be completely wrong here but I think the root casue of your problems is that you first tried to intsall TomTom Mobile (Smartphone version) on the Vario II. The Vario II is a full Windows Mobile Phone Edition (rather than Windows Mobile Smartphone) and therefore requires TomTom Navigator which I'm guessing your TomTom 6 is.
I presume you have double checked the "remove programs" bit in the Vario II settings folder for any TomTom software.
You don't mention where the install is failing - PC side or Vairo side. If it is PC side you may beable to obtain the CAB files from the TomTom disc or the Temp install folder and copy them manually to the Vario Storage Card and then try running the CABs directly on the Vario.
Failing all that I am sure a full Hard Reset on the device to wipe it back to "new" will work but that will mean reinstalling everything else too.

no pc involved in the install process my friend.
i copied the files to the memory card and executed them from there.

sorry to go all n00b again but can you tell me EXACTLY what a hard reset does?
does it put the device back to the way it left the factory? will it even erase calender entries and delete any notes etc?
thanks for taking the time to reply.
Hi Dark Side, yes a hard reset will restore your phone to its out of the box state ... anything you have added like appointments etc.. will be wiped.
If you are going to do a hard reset you might want to install a backup program first ( SPB Backup <click here> is a good one) and do a custom backup where you just backup the calendar/tasks and emails/sms etc.. that way you can just restore these after the reset.
Good luck.
If there is no PC invovled and you are using the *.cab files directly then my guess is the old TomTom left some files about and perhaps some registry junk. You can can search for them but it will be time consuming.
I think a hard reset will be the quickest way to fix it but it will take your Vario II back to the state it was when you took it out of the box first time - no programs, no calendar, no notes etc.
Check out the wiki for how to do a hard rest.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_For_Beginners
You can restore all your data after the Hard Rest if before you do it you make sure you take a backup using a backup tool like SpriteBackup. If you don't have backup software fully sync your Vario II and then take a copy of the Sync Files folder on the PC probably named "My Documents on [ppc name]" in your PC's "My Documents" folder.
N.B. I'd reinstall all software rather than restoring it and do that before restoring your data (or copying the files back from the copy of the original "my documents on [ppc name]") That way you'll make sure there is no risk of data being over written.
thanks for the help.
i'll either report back with the results, or i'll make sure you all get invitations to my funeral after i've banged my head off the wall for the millionth time, lol.

UPDATE.
looks like my suspicions were right and there was a few remnants of a previous installation attempt lurking somwhere in my device.
a quick hard reset and i now have Tomtom working perfectly.
well, there's just one glitch...everytime i run it i have to approve the connection to my gps receiver and also enter it's passcode.
can't find the tickbox to prevent this anywhere. grr.
thanks for everyone that replied.

Glad you got it working okay in the end
Just a thought, the passkey request might be because you have the "Passkey required" box ticked in the bluetooth settings (settings>connections>bluetooth>security) ... might be worth a look to see if the box is checked and if yes, uncheck it to see if that stops it asking.

i use a BT-77 by the way and i used this same receiver with my previous nokia 6680 for over a year without it ever asking for authentication.

HOW-TO: iGO8 on TP2 with TTS and Imported Contact POI's

In order to have both TTS and Contact POI's working in iGO8 you're going to need two different versions of iGO8.
FIRST VERSION NEEDED: iGO8 v8.32.64029 (Nov 7 2008)
This version is designed for the PDA, and as such is able to geocode contact information. Install this version with the attached 64029sys.txt
At this point if everything is done correctly, iGO8 should boot normally BUT be VERY slow and unresponsive. This is GOOD! This is iGO8 Geocoding your contacts. Depending on the quantity of contacts with addresses you have, this could take a VERY long time. When it is done you will get a message similar to the following:
Geocoding finished with errors. 38 of 110 addresses found, 72 failed. Do you want to see the details?​
At this point you could see the details of the errors, which will show you all of the addresses that are not entered into Outlook in a iGO8 palatable way. You could just ignore them and be happy with what you have (unlikely), or go back into Outlook, correct the formatting errors, and try again (and continue your suffering).
This can be VERY tedious... iGO is one picky bastard. You might even have to input the addresses into iGO as destinations, see how iGO formats the addresses, and then change the Outlook contacts to match the format iGO uses for a particular address.
I have even heard that contact need to be deleted and reentered into Outlook in the proper iGO8 fashion or you will continue to get errors for particular contacts.
SYNTAX ADVICE:
not Blvd. --> Blvd (The little "." will throw an error every time)
not Blvd --> Boulevard ("Usually" iGO dislikes abbreviations)
not N. --> N --> North (This is hit or miss)
NEVER use apt# (just give up and don't try)
NO Suite # (same as above)
If you have to have apt or suite #'s AND you want iGO to geocode, then the only way to get it both ways is to use the "OTHER" address in Outlook to place the iGO friendly address and the correct address in the "Business" or "Home" Outlook address. The ones with apt or suite # will error, but the second addresses in the "Other" address without the apt or suite # will geocode as POI's fine.​
When you are done, you will be left with this little piece of GOLD... YOUR CONTACT POI's FILE ! ! !
\iGO8\save\gccache.dat​
You'll want to back this file up somewhere else for safe keeping. We don't want all this hard work to go to waste.
SECOND VERSION NEEDED: iGO8_v8.3.4.102680 (Aug 13 2009)
This is the newest PNA version that does not have the ability to geopcode contact POI's, but it is able to read the gccache.dat file created by the PDA version above AND it is capable of TTS. Install this version with the attached 102680sys.txt
You will need to install this version and simply place the gccache.dat into the iGO/save folder and iGO will do the rest for you.
Now getting iGO8 to reliably run TTS is a different story. TTS requires ALOT of RAM to run. If there is not enough RAM available (~115-120mb), then it will simply refuse to play TTS voice prompts and you will be stuck with standard voice prompts. To free up a good chunk of the necessary RAM install both NOPushInternet_v2.cab and SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy.cab. To get the rest your available RAM to acceptable levels you will need to disable TF3D, run CleanRAM, and then start iGO.
Sounds complicated? Well, fortunately itsachirpthing over at PPCGeeks has created a nice little script that does just this. The original post can be found HERE. And the original thread can be found HERE. I recommend reading both these original threads. They have additional information to get iGO8 working properly on TP2.
itsachirpthing @ PPCGeeks said:
I have a custom mort script that will turn off TF3D, run CleanRam (I have custom process enabled to exit Opera and Tmail within CleanRam), then run Igo8. Once you are finished with Igo and you exit, TF3D will restart. This took some testing, but this works everytime with the high quality TTS voices. I have had no issues. I have posted the code below, this will work on your device providing that you install CleanRam to your "device" and your IGo program is listed as "\storage card\iGO8\igo8.exe". These HQ TTS voice issues baffled me for months, but now they work consistently without a soft reset.
Again this code will stop TF3D, Run CleanRam, Start Igo... then when you exit iGo it will restart TF3D.
manilastate=ProcExists("manila.exe")
If (manilastate)
Kill("biotouch.exe")
RegWriteDword ("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TouchFLO 3D","Enabled",0)
RedrawToday
endif
RunWait("\program files\htcaddicts cleanram\htcaddicts_cleanram.exe")
RunWait("\storage card\iGO8\igo8.exe")
Sleep(5000)
Kill("Repllog.exe")
While ( ProcExists("igo8.exe") )
IdleTimerReset
Sleep(500)
EndWhile
If (manilastate)
RegWriteDword ("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TouchFLO 3D","Enabled",1)
RedrawToday
Run("\windows\biotouch.exe")
endif
I have attached the script to run with mort script. I hope others can benfit as well. Good luck and enjoy!

Click to collapse
I have added this iGO script to the MortScript.cab posted here. You need it and CleanRAM.cab. Install both to the device, not the SD Card. Then just click on the Plain iGO Scipt icon in the Start Menu. The script will close TF3D, run CleanRAm, start iGO8, and when iGO8 is exited, it will start TF3D again
Inaddition to the above Script, you will need to install both NOPushInternet_v2.cab AND SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy.cab
in order to free up enough RAM. But with the above script, CleanRAM, and these two cabs, you should have enough RAM to run TTS of TP2. These CAB's are attached.
The sys.txt files attached are what works for my ATT TP2. It took many hours to find the correct setting for each iGO8 version and I am providing them to make your process easier. If they don't work or you get some other error for what ever reason... I AM PROVIDING NO TECH SUPPORT. This is simply information for your use.
Good Luck!
PS. This works best if you have two micro SD cards. One for each version of iGO. That way if you add new contact address, you can simply pop out one card, geocode the data, and transfer the new gccache.dat file to the other card.
PPS. Once you do get everything working in iGO 8 properly.... DO NOT MESS WITH ANYTHING ANYMORE!!! iGO8 is one finicky bastard and will throw a TTS temper tantrum (refuse to load TTS) if you do... I know ALL TOO WELL!
DONT ASK ME FOR COPIES OR WHERE TO GET THE ABOVE PROGRAMS....
BUY THEM or USE SOME CREATIVITY.... like GOOGLE!
Hi:
Thanks for the great info. I have a few questions. The Mortscript seems to run clean RAM, and disable TF3D, but then TF3D starts back up on its own. Is this normal?
Also, is the script supposed to also start iGo, or must this be done manually; script did not start iGo for me.
Thanks again!!
The script is as written above. If the location of iGO8.exe is not where the script is pointed you 'll have issues.
RunWait("\storage card\iGO8\igo8.exe")​
If you do not have a iGO8.exe in the above folder, you'll need to just make a second copy of application.dat in the same folder and rename it iGO8.exe. They are the same file, just different names.
Hi:
Thanks so much for your help. You were absolutely right, my .exe was in Storage Card/Program Files.
It is working well now.
Unfortunately it didn't make TTS work for me, but I have had problems with it for a LONG time, and never been able to find a fix.
Thanks anyway for everything

Were you using the above mentioned iGO versions? If not... I wouldn't know.

In order to have both TTS and Contact POI's working in iGO8 you're going to need two different versions of iGO8.
FIRST VERSION NEEDED: iGO8 v8.32.64029 (Nov 7 2008)
This version is designed for the PDA, and as such is able to geocode contact information. Install this version with the attached 64029sys.txt
At this point if everything is done correctly, iGO8 should boot normally BUT be VERY slow and unresponsive. This is GOOD! This is iGO8 Geocoding your contacts. Depending on the quantity of contacts with addresses you have, this could take a VERY long time. When it is done you will get a message similar to the following:
Geocoding finished with errors. 38 of 110 addresses found, 72 failed. Do you want to see the details?​
At this point you could see the details of the errors, which will show you all of the addresses that are not entered into Outlook in a iGO8 palatable way. You could just ignore them and be happy with what you have (unlikely), or go back into Outlook, correct the formatting errors, and try again (and continue your suffering).
This can be VERY tedious... iGO is one picky bastard. You might even have to input the addresses into iGO as destinations, see how iGO formats the addresses, and then change the Outlook contacts to match the format iGO uses for a particular address.
I have even heard that contact need to be deleted and reentered into Outlook in the proper iGO8 fashion or you will continue to get errors for particular contacts.
SYNTAX ADVICE:
not Blvd. --> Blvd (The little "." will throw an error every time)
not Blvd --> Boulevard ("Usually" iGO dislikes abbreviations)
not N. --> N --> North (This is hit or miss)
NEVER use apt# (just give up and don't try)
NO Suite # (same as above)
If you have to have apt or suite #'s AND you want iGO to geocode, then the only way to get it both ways is to use the "OTHER" address in Outlook to place the iGO friendly address and the correct address in the "Business" or "Home" Outlook address. The ones with apt or suite # will error, but the second addresses in the "Other" address without the apt or suite # will geocode as POI's fine.​
When you are done, you will be left with this little piece of GOLD... YOUR CONTACT POI's FILE ! ! !
\iGO8\save\gccache.dat​
You'll want to back this file up somewhere else for safe keeping. We don't want all this hard work to go to waste.
SECOND VERSION NEEDED: iGO8_v8.3.4.102680 (Aug 13 2009)
This is the newest PNA version that does not have the ability to geopcode contact POI's, but it is able to read the gccache.dat file created by the PDA version above AND it is capable of TTS. Install this version with the attached 102680sys.txt
You will need to install this version and simply place the gccache.dat into the iGO/save folder and iGO will do the rest for you.
Now getting iGO8 to reliably run TTS is a different story. TTS requires ALOT of RAM to run. If there is not enough RAM available (~115-120mb), then it will simply refuse to play TTS voice prompts and you will be stuck with standard voice prompts. To get your available RAM to acceptable levels you will need to disable TF3D, run CleanRAM, and then start iGO.
Sounds complicated? Well, fortunately itsachirpthing over at PPCGeeks has created a nice little script that does just this. The original post can be found HERE. And the original thread can be found HERE. I recommend reading both these original threads. They have additional information to get iGO8 working properly on TP2.
I have added this iGO script to the MortScript.cab posted here. You need it and CleanRAM.cab. Install both to the device, not the SD Card. Then just click on the Plain iGO Scipt icon in the Start Menu. The script will close TF3D, run CleanRAm, start iGO8, and when iGO8 is exited, it will start TF3D again
The sys.txt files attached are what works for my ATT TP2. It took many hours to find the correct setting for each iGO8 version and I am providing them to make your process easier. If they don't work or you get some other error for what ever reason... I AM PROVIDING NO TECH SUPPORT. This is simply information for your use.
Good Luck!
PS. This works best if you have two micro SD cards. One for each version of iGO. That way if you add new contact address, you can simply pop out one card, geocode the data, and transfer the new gccache.dat file to the other card.

Your welcome. I am glad my searching, suffering, trial and error have been helpful to others. I felt it would have been a waste of effort, if only my phone was to benefit from the knowledge.
Added both NOPushInternet_v2 and SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy CAB's...
Need for maximum available free RAM.

Hi:
Yes I am using the above mentioned Aug 13th version, but to be honest I have had this same problem since I switches to the R3 versions. Oddly enough, I only get TTS from "Amy", which isn't even a TTS voice, but her voice is limited, and doesn't include things like street names etc... When I try to use "Susan" or "Dave" which are TTS voices, they do not work at all. I have tried a million different TTS packages, as well as sys.txt edits, and still no luck.
I have searched and searched and never been able to fix it.
But anyway, thanks so much for posting your info, I am sure it will help others.

I recommend reading the threads on PPCGeeks. You might need their recommended BRANDING.ZIP and DATA.ZIP files.
I know it is a pain in the ass... but it can work
but then again it can also stop working right after
Good Luck!
Lokmeup, thanks for the post. I found this by googling Igo8 and contacts... I'm running iGo8 (the most recent pna version) on my Imagio and of course it won't input the contacts.
I plan on following your directions but was wondering if I'll need to keep both versions available and run the PDA version every time I enter a new contact as the PNA version won't import contacts?
I miss the 'navigate to contact' from Tomtom but Tomtom doesn't seem to like the Imagio as it lags out while iGo8 runs fine.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, It is best to keep both versions.

Thanks and DOH! Didn't see that part about the other card. The damn SD card on the Imagio is behind the back cover and the cover is a beast to remove. I'll try to keep one internal and one external and see if that works. Thanks again!
Update: iGO 8 v8.3.2.97313 (Jul 3 2009) also works for geocoding. You can have one in main memory and one on your SD card and the one in main memory will geocode for the one on the card.
Thanks again Lokmeup, you gave me back the one function iGO was missing over TT!
Not to be a nay sayer, but why in the world do you need to jump through all these hoops to get TTS to work? My TTS works fine on 102680 with Igo as installed, I'm using the Energy 6.5.1 ROM but it's worked with every ROM I've tried it on?
For all of us obsessed with flashing, a lot of chefs are adding Sense instead of just TF3D. Sense will also cause TTS not to work. I have edited the mscr to disable HTC Sense before launching igo8 (and of course renenabling it upon exiting the program)
Two versions:
One that closes Sense then launches igo
The second closes sense, runs clean ram then launces igo
Personally i hate havng to confirm the cleanup, but your choice. Either one works out for me
IMPORTANT: RENAME file extention .txt -> .mscr (xda does not permit me to upoad mscr files)

Unless I'm really confused Energy ROM Phoenix has Sense in it, and it works fine with TTS on my phone without any scripts.

rename this file and just run it like the cab file I presume ??
Its working with the Sense file. I just went out and try it out. Would you be able to create a Sense file you created for igo mortcript and the htc addicts clean ram v1.8. ? I can see the other file as a shortcut in the start menu? Would you be able to create the same one for the sense version ?
Thanks.
