Help Request from programers for solution for IGO 8 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi all,
I'm just a noob for programming, but I'd like to know if some programers around here could make a script with mortscript for instance, that make the following:
1)When launch, it disables HTC home plug in
2)Then, it launch Igo8
3)When we close igo8, it relaunch HTC home.
It's quite simple, and could make Igo 8 work simply...
Perhaps it's an idiot think, but if it works, I'm sure that a lot of persons around here will appreciate.
Thanks for your comment.

If you have Htc home plugIn active, you have not only disable to start Igo8, but you must disable htc plugin then reset htc, otherwise Igo8 will not never start. It's not quite simply, dont' you believe ?!

iGO8 works fine with HTC Home. i'm using it on my polaris for sometime now and it hasn't given me any trouble.

Why don't you post your request on Mortscript thread?

I was thinking about allmost the same, I have ThrottleLauncher activated and it consumes about 7mb and igo need a lot of ram.. I think with mortscript this is no problem but I don't know how

@ furb3T:
I have tried and it works for me !
I don't have the weather tab enabled and if I switch off HTC home, IGO work, and if I switch on Htc Home Igo don't work . and this without any soft reset.
So The solution might be : disable weather tab, and have a script that disable HTC home before running IGO, and then Rerun HTC home when closing IGO.
I'll post it in the Mortscript Thread too.
Thanks for your answer.

iGO and ozVGA

any suggestion how to use iGO with ozVGA without switching to seVGA
thank to anybody for answer
any suggestion?
What does it do right now? If it launches, can you post a screenshot if it'd be helpful? I've never used it.
V
problem is that first you have to install it in seVGA otherwise it do not start in ozVGA, when installed in seVGA you have to start it and in option have to select Force QVGA, then you can run it in ozVGA, without switching this option to Force QVGA it do not start, so situation:
installed in seVGA
option ForceQVGA selected
swtched to ozVGA
run iGO
result: you can see nice screen of iGO and it will start BUT even screen is on full display, touchscreen is active just in upper left quarter of display, so are not able to control application
in seVGA mode everything is OK
have somebody tried this?
thanx
PS: hope you understood my english )
any suggestion?
iGO 2006 is VGA compatible. Why use ozVGA?
because i use my Qtek 9000 with ozVGA

Making the Advantage really work..

Hi everyone,
Well, I finally made the plunge and am loving my HTC Advantage. Truly delightful. I'm slowly making progress but there but I have a few issues that perhaps someone can help me with.
--Note: I am on TMo USA and migrating from a MDA (Wizard), just couldn't find any love for the "Wing".
--Also note that I have thoroughly read this forum and tried everything I can find. Also lots of googling.
1. I am running MrVRealVGA as widely recommended. This is great, and I've got lots of things working. EXCEPT:
a. I've tried the suggested skins for the dialpad, but none are at all functional with RealVGA. Any suggestions?
b. Likewise, hard to find a good Wisbar skin. I have one that "mostly" works (SWDeluxe) but the folder icons are way big, as are the icons on the task menu.
c. The Comm Manager is also an issue, but I use PhoneAlarm which can mostly handle these chores. I'm using the SWDeluxe theme which looks pretty good.
2. Buttons. I would really like to add additional assignments to the OK and Start buttons since they are so handy. Neither AEBPlus or DoubleLauncher seem to be able to work with those. Any suggestions?
3. I am having the same problems with GPS as others report. Will try iGuidance tomorrow, see if I can get any love. No luck at all with Google Maps. Will report back...
4. Also no luck with TV Out using the 4-in-1 cable; but I haven't really spent enough time mucking around.
Otherwise, the transition has really been easy. The keyboard is not as bad as some suggest, although backlighting would be a plus. Browsing the internet is great and VueFlo is "interesting." Solid signal reception (GPRS and WiFi) compared to the Wizard, and it seems reasonably responsive, even with VGA. And that huge, bright screen is great!!!
After lurking on this forum for a few weeks, I'm glad to now be a full-fledged member!
OK, I got the answer to question #1a, from another thread. VijayBigPhone does the job! Nice solution from one of my heroes!
Welcome to the boards, I would suggest for number 4 you just need to play around with it a little more.
I just tried mine then and love it, quickly connected it to the LCDTV (VGA input) then settings, TVOUT > On > VGA output > OK > LCDTV in PC Mode > Voila....beyond presentations I didnt think it would be a worthwhile feature, but I might I actually read ebooks now that I can see them in full glory of 5" VGA (which is nice) or 32" LCDTV.

I'm happy to report success with iGuidance. It would not autodetect GPS, but I manually selected Port 5 and it did work. Acquisition is not as quick as I was used to with my external hockey puck. Seems to be a cold boot each time. On the other hand... no time for trying to find where I put my hockey puck the last time, no time for setup, charger, etc., and no messing around with BT connections, so this will definitely work!
Still no luck with Google Maps.

I tried to install iGuidance 3.0.1 on my Advantage yesterday. I tried installing to both the Microdrive and main memory. The program seemed to install normally, but once installed would not run.
What version of iguidance are you using on your Advantage? Where do you have it installed?
TIA (from a Newbie)

I will answer my own question (in case anyone else has the same problem.)
I received an email back from iNav Tech Support saying:
Please make sure you have installed the appropriate map file on a SD card. W/o a working map, iguidance program can't be launched.
Also, there may be the same gprs conflict between iguidance and your new ppc phone. To determine if this is the case, try turning off the gprs/evdo wireless data connection on your new ppc phone first and then launch iguidance again. If it launches fine, then you may turn your gprs/evdo connection back on.

I had already installed iNav maps on my SD card.
I installed the iGuidance program on the SD card. It wouldn't run. So, I set my Advantage to Flight Mode, and tried again. Sure enough, iGuidance started right up. I turned Flight Mode off, and iGuidance ran normally. Now, iguidance will start up without having to shut down the wireless connections.
I still would be interested in feedback from anyone who has upgraded to version 4 of iGuidance. Is the upgrade worth the expense? Have you noted any significant changes in the program?
Re: Iguidance - another option
I have 'Destinator' installed and running with no problems on my X7501. I note that IGuidance may no longer be selling maps for Europe although this may only be in the USA. I used Destinator in the UK on my Dell Axim this summer and in the USA earlier this month on my Advantage.

For those of you using iNav...the shortcut for iNav points to a "starter application" that detects the resolution, chooses the VGA or QVGA version to run, and deletes the other version. This can cause problems if you use RealVGA and later change the system resolution, as the appropriate executable has been deleted. The solution is to use a File Manager and change the attributes to "Read Only" for the VGA and QVGA iNav applications.
Also, if you use 128dpi and iNav...the starter will open the VGA version, but the QVGA menus work better in 128dpi. For this resolution I created a shortcut that directly points to the QVGA version.
HTH.

Open Google Maps...Menu--Options--Track Location Settings. Select Set by Windows if you are using the WinMo External GPS applet. Select Set Manually and set your com port/baud rate (Com 5/9600 for x7501) if you are not allowing WinMo to control the GPS. I have Google Maps installed to Main Memory.
That having all been said, I find that Windows Live just plain works better, and allows me to set the map cache to the SD card.
Enjoy.

I have had no issues with Google Maps other than the location off, but until I discovered Com 5 using the HTC GPS Tool, I couldn't get any of my other applications to use GPS. Having discovered Com 5, GPS is working just fine. Though I would like to figure out how to GPS stamp my photos - I don't have a P10 in my registry for the camera.
Google maps has been working for ages.
You can easily enable the GPS photo by using schaps advanced configuration tool version 2.
If you use michys roms you can install this over Schap advanced config3.
Hope this helps

Navigon MN7 working with the X1

Since yesterday I have registered my copy of Navigon MN7 from my G900 (WVGA too) to the X1 (no problems, thanks to the service of Navigon).
I changed the files as attached. If you use them, place them in main folder of Navigon on the storage card and the ApplicationSettings to the settings directory.
BUT ATTENTION: This is of a german G900. Therefore it may be possible that you have to change some lines in the files form "Speicherkarte" to "Starge Card". I didn't look at this! After zipping them on the PC just open them first with text editing program and look if there ist "Speicherkarte" written somewhere in the file. Change this to the language of your X1.
My experiance of the X1 with the MN7 ist great, if you accept two bugs, it has now, even an update is announced for the next days...
1. You only can use WVGA in the Portrait Mode. In Landscape Mode it is only VGA. It works, but with a black stripe on the right site. I don't mind because I am using only Portrait Mode.
2. MN7 finds the gps of X1 at once with the automatic search. But as it is with other internal GPS too, it can not hold the connection more than 1-2 minutes. You have first to start a program, that holds the connection (I use GPS-Skinner) and then start MN7 and everything works fine. This is a known Bug Navigon is working at and an update is announced for the beginning of November.
If you accept this, you get a great navigation experiance. The internal gps is faster than every gps I ever had. Even my GNS 5843, which is a great quality product. X1 fixes faster and finds and holds more satelittes!
The speed ist great. My G900 (WVGA too) needed 40+x seconds to start MN7, the X1 about 15 seconds. Everything responses very fast. Calculating a route needs 3-5 seconds. Typing the adress about 1-3 seconds for response. Worlds between earlier versions of MN.
With this great internal GPS it gives a complete new feeling of navigation to me, and I use Navigon since a lot of years
first thx for the files, but this two bugs are crazy, specialy the GPS Bug, I tried IGO and Garmin XT, they both work perfect, without any GPS loss, or Problems with WVGA, so if you drive many in EU also East EU then i would take IGO 2008, they havr the best Maps there, it is very fast, and runs smooth.

i agree that Igo works fine, but if we compare maps like Italy, navigon has more streets in navigon in europe.( Latvia is very bad.) I faced this because one truck driver asked to fix for him latest maps for navigon and I was thinking that igo would be better and got for him igo, but then he started complaining that there are missing blocks of sreets.
In Latvia tomtom works the best. Igo cant find adresses.and has problems with routs
but still my favorit is igo
Your file BinaryConfig.xml seems to be corrupted ??? It cannot be opened.
Hi,
I have installed Navigon 7 to my X1 and I have used the files posted here to see if it works, however when I launch the app I get the splash screen with the spinning logo and then after about 15-20 seconds that diapears and the phone drops back in the last panel I was using i.e Today panel.. but the start bar at the top of the screen has disapeared..?
Any ideas..
I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times but that doesnt help.. and the only way to get the start bar back is to reboot the phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
once you rebooted the X1, it should start without any problems every time you start MN7.
Had the same problem. Since reboot it works flawlessly.
Chris
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply.. Unfortunatly I get the same problem everytime I reboot the phone.. Launch the app get the splash screen and then it drops back to Panel but without the start bar.. Reboot.. start again.. and again.. etc..
Shame really as it looks like a good sat nav and would like to play with a specially extended trial version before I purchase the app
I've just signed up for the beta of telmap which works fine on the x1 (although they don't give you an option for it,so the stellar or diamond versions work).
You say you have replaced the three files with the WVGA ones? hmmm...
Maybe it is because of the trail version? well, doesn't really make sense...
One more option to get it running is, maybe, to do the thing in landscape mode?
First turn your screen and then start MN app. Well, you never know...
Chris
After completely removing the app and the navigon directory from the phone and then doing a registry clean and a general tidy up of the storage on the phone I re-copied the Navigon directory with its contents to the phone and then copied the files from the first post in this thread and I can now launch the app without it dropping back to the panel, however now it asks for a serial key.. anyone have a keygen for this app.. as its currenlty asking me to go to the navigon site with the device id and register for a serial..
hello,
i have the following problem.
i coppied all file on the card, then installed the prog.
i can start it from the file manager, but if i want to try it from start... and press the icon, nothing happens...
does anyone have an idea, what this could be?
(if my english is not that perfekt, i am from germany and i am trying,hehe)

Navigon MobileNavigator 7.3.1 Xperia Fix
Hello Guys,
i had just installed the Navigon 7.3.1 with the patch in the attachment that the only one which works
copy the "ApplicationSettings.XML" in the folder: "settings" and the two files : "BinaryConfig a. CacheConfig" in the Folder "Navigon"
And if you want to start the program in the landscape mod you have to install the "MN7LS.ARM.CAB"
View attachment 7.3.1.zip
View attachment MN7LS.ARM.CAB
MN7 working now
Many thanks to rookie333 I was finally able to get the test version of MN7 running
Its such a simple solution. Shame on Navigon Support for not being able to help at all and for their product being so poor designed to not include 800x480 resultions.
Normally I use it in the portrait mode. But one of the many flaws in Navigon software is that reality view only works in landscape mode.
But when I switch to landscape mode the screen gets broken. Any idea why?
In comparison to Tomtom the MN7 is not ready for 800x480 devices.
The whole display is stretched in length and squashed in width.
Everything on the map is so tiny you cannot read it, so symbols and text are unusable. The great lane-assistant from version 6 is now a tiny icon on the side.
All together MN7 on X1 is a big disappointment. Hopefully Navigon comes up with some patches soon.
But as I know Navigon development and support for years now, that will not happen soon.
So I will stick with my MN6 on PDA or change to Tomtom.
Tomtom on the other hand looks like it was build for the X1. It completely fits the screen, without stretching or squashing. Icons and text are great.
Regards
pt
You have to start Navigon in landscape mode, but you cannot switch while the program is running. I don't think it's squashed or stretched. The interface is VGA, but with X1's high dpi, it looks good. The map is just perfect with the attached XML files. The xml files are from the Touch HD forum, but with modified BinaryConfig.xml.
Landscape Mode
My Xperia will not start Navigon in Landscape mode. It sort of freezes up the Xperia which then needs restarting. Is the CAB language specific?
In Portrait mode it is useless (see edit below) as the useful part of the view (betweern the Arrow and the horizon) is just a tiny slit shown in my attached photo. Compare that of the official picture where the position arrow is much lower down and the horizon is near the top of the screen as it should be.
On the Xperia, one third of the screen is taken up by sky!
Also the Position Arrow with its circle cover up important parts of road junctions making it hard to see where to drive.
Edit: OK Now I've installed it all again, and copied the XML files again and now it is much better. The sky only take up a small amount of the screen and the arrow is lower down. What is going on? Is it dependent on the XML files?
Does anybody know how to turn on TMC on Mobile Navigator 7. I didn't setup it during first install but i discovered i can do it ....
I don't know how to setup again
Finaly i have something else than wayfinder. Thanks Rookie333 for excellent instruction.
I successfully used your configuration on my Xperia R1A. Navigon now launches in WVGA portrait (but I am unable to run it in landscape mode, even with the cab given in this thread, it fails with a message "unable to find mobilenavigator7.exe", quite strange).
But my real problem is : each time I start navigon, there is no GPS defined. So I have to configure it, using assistant. It finds the internal GPS, and it works for a short time.
Then during navigation it stops working. If I check the GPS status, there is no GPS device detected again. I have to detect the GPS again, etc ... and it works for several minutes, then fail again ...
Any idea why Navigon is loosing connection to the GPS so often ?
HI
Can i know where is the installation file

[APP][29-11-2008]Manila Control v1.0, get the control over your today

Hello friends, I present to you an application that many are expecting, "Manila Control" also known as M3D control or M2D Control.
It's a simple program that allows us to switch between 2D or 3D Manila and the "Today" of Windows. Allows you to set our screen "Today" with our favorite plugins and Manila also used simultaneously.
Installation:
- Copy the cab to the terminal and install
- Use within MC Config Start - Programs - MC
- Tap set menu choose your Manila 2D or 3D and whether those who want to start after reboot.
- To end tap menu - SoftReset
Description:
- The application allows the use of today's windows and 2D/3D Manila.
- To exchange desk, is from Left softkey, but it hardbutoon can assign a, a FTouchFlo and in some models a gesture of activation of the cube. (There's configure it manually).
- The application does not interpret gestures.
- Close to leave Manila for more available RAM (Right SoftKey).
- Manila You can start at boot or not.
- Eliminates Manila from the list of items today.
- Some entries may appear in Spanish if you do not use a ROM WEE.
- The application does not stay resident in memory so it does not consume RAM.
Is a free, but voluntary donations are welcome.
You can use to include it in your ROMs, only respects to the author.
Mirrors do not, if you want to write something on the application or on your Web forum, put a link to this thread on XDA-Developers.com or the corresponding HTCSpain.com, so users can always have easy access to changes and updates.
The application is not OpenSource therefore not permitted any change in any component or part of it without explicit authorization.
Download the file has been fattened to 5Mb just to get points den rapidshare, the cab is really just about 100kb. For users who have problems with Rapid, I create another smaller mirror, but if you can please use the download of 5MB as I provide Rapid points.
Thanks to my friends to do the tests: Franlov (Diamond and Omnia), Xuo (Polaris), JCespi2005 (Touch Pro) and I have tested in Niki, Elf and Prophet.

The Spanish speakers are lucky that is already built into ROM in Spanish for Prophet, Niki, Elf / Elfin, Polaris and Touch Pro. And in the very near to Herald, Kaiser and Diamond.
TO DO (For next versions):
- Traslate error test to english.
- Add options to set activation mode.
- Add force show Modes.
- Add option for close manila mode, to reelase RAM (but will be slow)
- Release more RAM when close Manila3D.

Can't wait, to test it. The videos showing, what we can expect. YEAH
This looks really neat! Cant wait to test it!
Looks great! Nice, easy integration of the classic Today screen with TF3D/2D.
I remember seeing a video of this program some time ago, and I've been waiting for it ever since. Can't wait!
yeah ! many thanks for developing this will definitely try it out
good to hear ... but for manipulating the home screen of m2d or m3d is existing ... and we'll be public in some days .... maybe tomorrow ..
what is this qvga tf3d?new version?
Very nice! Can't wait to check it out.
my FUZE will be thankful upon the release of this!
Late,
Jstar
Any chance this could allow our kaisers to sleep with tf3d running?

Excellent job Mastsogo
Hey man,
that is a really great idea!!!
Could you add a function, that it TF3D in QVGA is enabled, that there is a function like the auto standby in windows mobile.
Cause there is the standby issue with ported TF3D on some devices. I thought about something like this:
If TF3D enabled and no user action is recognized for time x
then disable tf3d and go to standby.
At wake up reenable TF3D.
That would be great and it would make TF3D on my kaiser ready for every day use
If you need someone for testing, just PM me.
i hop sleep mo d fixes and start menu problems w

Exactly! On Kaisers with TF3D when we hit the power button maybe that generates a Mortscript to switch to HTC Home then sleep, as the issue (I think) is with TF3D gaining focus of all windows.
Although I have heard also that this is not the case and its the OpenGL drivers themselves that does not allow the device to sleep.
Looks great.
Let's wait

iGo8 and Imagio

Morning all,
First I would like to wish everyone in the states a very happy turkey holiday. Hopefully yours was as excellent as mine was.
Now onto the real business. I have an Imagio that for the most part I love. While I cannot wait for the SPL and to be able to build custom ROMs I am waiting patiently.
I am trying to run iGo8 on the Imagio and have not found any definitive way of doing it. I have cobbled together some details that work, but are not very stable. Here is what I have currently:
1) iGo8.3.2 97313
2) TTS Susan
3) Dimka HD skin
I searched this section and found a thread on how to get iGo8 to run in landscape 800x480 mode. While this was helpful for the default iGo skin it blows up when trying to use the Dimka HD skin. Second TTS does not work at all, whether I have TF3D running or not. I get no soothing Susan!
I was wondering how people are doing with iGo8 and how do you have it running.
Thanks,
Steve
running 8.3.4 with default skin which I love at the native resolution and it runs perfectly!
Best 3d gps software out there.
I'm running 8.3.4.10280 installed on my SD card, can't get TTS to work but otherwise runs great in landscape or portrait. I'm using "Dave" for regular voice but no matter what I try I can't get TTS to work.
Interestingly this version can read the "geocoded" contacts addresses that prior versions can generate from your WM contacts but it can't generate the file itself so....
If you want to get your contacts to display on the map as POI, you need a different version. I currently have another version (8.3.2.97313) installed in main memory and when I add a contact I'll run this version that will generate the needed file and it adds it to the contacts on the card. This was the only feature that I thought TomTom had over the iGo but now that I got it working iGo tops TomTom in eye candy and utility (IMHO).
Please don't ask where to get the files, they're out there on the interwebs, seek and ye shall find....
