I need navigation on my MDA.
And since i cant find out how to bring tomtom back to life on wm6.
i need to get back to wm5
how can i manage to do that?
thanks in advance!
What's wrong with Tomtom and WM6? I use them both daily.
serious?
How did you installed the app?
didn't work, so i checked the tomtom.com
it says that there was no support....
EDIT:
I feel like such a wanker.....
mods please close this thread, delete it,
installing tomtom right now..
Gajet, thanks
working perfect!
no need for me to downgrade anymore
Glad I prompted you to take another look. Would have been a shame to return to slow WM5.
for sure! i navigated the whole evening

Hi Guys,
I have installed the new ROM and radio upgrade. It has made my Universal really fly ! I use it mainly for tomtom 5.21 and it has sped up the refresh screen and made the maps smoother.
The only issue that is really annoying is that the Password program has been replaced by a "lock" program that does not recognise that Tomtom is running and the screen keeps coming on and I need to tap password in whilst driving.
I dont want to downgrade the ROM so does anyone know how to revert back to old password program or know a better one to use?
Thanks for any help
It might be worth just grinning and bearing it. its only a "test" rom, the real one cant be to far away now,
test rom, hmmm,, what of it were they testing???
are there lots of test roms we have not been privy to? i would imagine so hmm.
heh i got it, its tomtoms fault, must be. they should release another patch. surlly its tomtom app thats not supressing the timeout!!!
Guess you are right.
I just wish each rom upgrade would be "better" rather than just "different"
The solution

i used TomTom 5.21 on my phone before and i had it all set up with my Bluetooth GPS so i know it works on the universal, but since i did the new orange push update i cant seem to get it to work, it just loads up&asks the setup questions (i.e time 12h/24h, screen oriantation and then it asks for what language, what ever one i pick the screen just hangs and then it exits to the today screen. Now for some reason its different, when i click on the hands for TomTom i get this screen saying 'legal notice' when i say 'I Agree' the screen hangs and exits just like before.
I have tryed searching for this on the site but i cant find this same problem, maybe someone has seen this problem before and can sort it or maybe piont me in the right direction?
Thank you for all you time
you have an illegal copy of TomTom and have forgotten to put the currentmap.dat file back into the \My Documents\TomTom folder.
Now thats what i call service, Thank you very much for your quick and perfect post, i will try it out, Thanks alot 8)
ummm me again, before i do a hard reset and try this...
when i reinstall tomtom the tomtom folder in my documents does not appear anymore and i have no idea where i get the current map file from either, do you think this is a currupt install i have done and there is no way i can sort it so hard reset and try again or is there another way?
Thank you for your time

I have a GPS device already, can you buy TomTom (either CD or SD) without the GPS recevier? I know mine works.

I wasnt being serious&im not getting into that old debate, i bet you have had that conversation more than once i bet.
All cured thanks, i found an old backup so thanks for your support - i wouldnt be able to use it without your help :wink:
I keep seeing the fancy looking home screen plug in for WM 6. Is there a similar home screen plug in from HTC for WM 5 that I can use with my 8525? If so how can I get it? Is it free? How do I install it? And I do not know how to do what you guys refer to as reg hacks - so should I just stay away from the topic? I did do some searching and everything comes up under WM 6, or it is not clear if it is WM 5 or 6. Also, I do not want to do anything that will void my warranty - will it? I appreciate any responses. Sorry for being the worlds biggest newbie.
I can't tell you too much about the HTC Home Screen because of I am not using it!
However, 'hacking' the registry will not avoid your warranty! In case you do something wrong: simply hard reset your device and everything should be back to normal and factory default!
If you want to be able to access your PDA's registry you will need a REGISTRY EDITOR installed on your PDA. There are plenty good ones out there! I personally use RESCO EXPLORER 2007 + REGISTRY ADD-IN. You can find a trial version here: http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp
To get your HOME SCREEN fancy looking: even here you can find lots of stuff without having to hack anything! One really good application which changes not only your TODAY SCREEN is SPB MOBILE SHELL - more info here: http://spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/?en
Both application I mentioned above are commercial products but trial versions are available as free download! There are hundreds of free application all over the web which will help you to personalize your PDA - just search Google and see what it comes up with!
Hope that helps?
Thanks. A couple quick questions. I can not tell if it is free or not. It has me agree to a bunch of legal stuff, but I do not see any mention of it being free/trial or what a charge would be? Do I do the CAB file?

Its free, dont know if it will work on wm5 havent seen a version working yet on wm5. I suggest just reading the forum for the next two weeks or so. After about a good 20 you will nolonger be a noob. At that time I would suggest upgrading to wm6 and you will have no issues getting this on your phone.
Thanks again for the help on this. If there is not a high degree of knowing that will work on WM 5 does anyone of on that will work?

You can do the cab or the exe - what ever you prefer!
The cab file needs to be copied to the PPC, the setup you run directly on your desktop while your PPC is connected via ActiveSync or MDC.
Both programs I mentioned are running fine under Windows Mobile 5. I used them for more than a year on my T-Mobile MDA WM5 and later on my Hermes.
this is a cool sofware located at "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339944&page=12".
is there a way to make this work on 8525 wm5..please help..looking for picture viewer like iphone...
It's been released under the Hermes WM6 forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339960
Works quite well!

i tried this program but it will not work on 8525 with wm5...when i install..its says fine..when i go to programs and click on icon..it says "the file 'htcalbum' cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certficate, or one of its components cannot be found. yoy might need to reinstall or restore the file" i have uninstalled and reinstalled but dame orob. please help
any ideas?

do not want to upgrade to wm6
to scared i will make my phone a brick by trying to upgrade to wm6..so gonna stay with wm5...can some one make htc album to work on wm5..please!
As long as you install Olipro's Hard SPL v7 (or the new v9 I guess) you have to try pretty hard to end up with a brick! I'd say upgrade to WM6, it's worth it even if you end up deciding the HTC Album isn't for you.
Go on, go to WM6 (you know you want to really!!)
Ok I've finally taken the plunge and just received my new HD2 from T-Mobile. Everthing works ok and even to a cynic like myself it is one impressive machine but with one issue. I can't install TomTom 7.
As soon as it tries to auto config it displays the message:
"Your device is not compatible with this version of TomTom NAVIGATOR!"
(Their message - not my typing...)
Any ideas? It worked ok my Touch HD running a 6.5 ROM from Miri and I've noticed others appear to have it working. The HD2 is running OS version 21864.5.0.81, ROM version 1.43.110.2 WWE and radio is 2.04.50.22_2 if that helps.
Any assistance greatly appreciated of course!
Is true!
If you go in tomtom device compatible web page you see that HD2 isn't copatible, I have sent an email ant tomtom said me that you must see this page when change you can download a new version compatible.
P.S: There is a version that work with Hd2 but you must delte 2 dll and in tomtomhome hd2 is not recognize
While it is true that Version 7 isn't supported, it dose still work well with a couple of exceptions.
1. It can be done by transfering the CAB file to the device and then installing it manualy, but not through the ActiveSync installer.
2. The version I had for my Orbit2 KILLED the bluetooth on the HD2. It's a fairly easy thing to rectify, just need to delete the file \Windows\BtSdkCE30.dll and then Reset the HD2, but it caused a few headaches.
3. I've read that some people reccomend the 7.91 version of tom tom, but that version 7.45 works well also.

Cheers but it didn't work.. Yes I tried running the cab file manually from the 2577 folder but still it came back with the same message. I am using version 7.91 as well.. Very frustrating as I use the Sat Nav a lot!

Actually just found that link as you posted. I've managed to get it installed but now it's asking for my map activation code which at the moment I can't find in my filing system....
Thanks for the help/link anyway!
I have Tomtom 7 working try doing a search for TomTom_Navigator_7.916.9189_VGA.
Tony, had the same problem, it's possible to get the software installed using a cab file but then you can't activate your purchased map files without hooking the device up to TomTom Home.
It's sadly a case of waiting for TomTom to officially support the HD2 at which point an update for TomTom Home should allow us to connect and install.
I tried emailing them again today for an update but they just said keep watching -> http://www.tomtom.com/products/section.php?ID=898&Section=709&Lid=1&Category=2
Im using ttn7.915.9196.vga_black.cab which is working fine for me on mine.
Currently using 7.916-9189 vga-black.cab with ukroi 835-2421
had to rename the 2 bt.dll's by adding old to the end of them using resco file explorer and then used BsB Tweaks to get it to auto rotate..
some dudes report issues with the radio using this method but as I dont use headphones (only bluetooth) I haven't even checked to see if the radio works. Now researching/downloading other sat nav applications and waiting for my 16gb card to come so I can try some others out...rapidly running out of room on the stock 2gb card
@EssexboyRacer.
Are you able to connect to TomTom Home?
If not, how did you activate your map file(s) please?

Thanks for all your input and help guys.
I too had the same response from TomTom as Lei Chat and will keep an eye on the page specified but it is a bit of a pain in the a*** when you have shelled out good money and then can't use it!
As a stop gap I spent ages trying to get the "ttn7.915.9196.vga_black.cab" route working but I've finally cracked it tonight. At least I now have it up and running until the "official" way is available...

Hi, Can you share how you cracked it because I've tried as much I can but still not up and running. I manage to get "ttn7.915.9196.vga_black.cab" installed but when trying to run it's says it isn't a valid device or something. So there I am with a full TT7 Western Europe and no go!
Cheers
