Wish me luck for installing TTN5!!!

Just wanted to tell you all that, when I get home from work, I've got a Holux Slim 236 GPS receiver, a 1GB SanDisk miniSD and TTN5, all waiting to be installed.
Why, oh why, do I feel I'm going to be spending hours doing this one?!
While I'm here, has anyone successfully installed the Bakonl TTN5 on the Wizard (mine's an XDA Mini S actually), and with the cracked 5.21 patch? Any hints/tips would be much appreciated.
Cheers!

Good Luck!!
I have installed ttn5 on numerous devices and the only problems i ever had was with the bluetooth link and installing on my xda mini s was the worst so far!
If you do get problems with com ports -there was a post that got me up and running - i think it was on here somewhere:
once tt is installed there is a file in the tt folder called 'navigator cfg' copy that to your pc and open it with wordpad, there will be a load of rubbish on there but you will see 'com port0' or something like that, change this to com port 5 and save it , overwrite the original in the tt folder and try running tt again, it should be ok.Actual installation should be easy enough,
cheers and once again good luck...

Good luck! Best not to talk about cracked versions of commercial software though. This is not that kind of community.

Assuming you have the SD card image version downloaded (and a legit copy you purchased as well to stay legal )
Just copy all of the files to the root of your SD card (don't put them in a subfolder), run the TTN.Cab, GPS.cab & wiz.cab files from the 2577 from file explorer on your XDA to install. Copy the Balkonl 5.21 cracked EXE to your XDA overwriting the orginal and then copy the folder named "TomTom to your "my documents folder" on your XDA.
Next Pair your XDA with your GPS receiver (some need to create a new Com port, if yours does remember the port number)
Fire up TomTom, go into preference, choose "Other Bluetooth GPS" and select the Com port.
Took 10 minutes to install on mine this way!. Not promising this will work for you but my install worked first time using this method.
Not condoning software piracy but until TomTom sort the problems out with their installer i'll be using the cracked version even though I have a legit copy!

Basically ... no. I mean, I did get it working, with not too much trouble, but every time I closed TomTom and started again, all my settings had been lost - home, favourites, POI warnings. I just thought this was really annoying! Also the map version I had was quite old and had quite a lot of errors.
Unfortunately, I don't have an SD card image version. Trying to look for one at the mo. Any suggestions?

Tom Tom 5 Navigator installed perfectly out of the box

I thought it may be of use to future TT5 users. Today I bought TT5 Navigator in the UK from Dixons (yeah hate the shop too but it was an impulse buy). There was no CD supplied but instead a 128mb SD card was in the box with TT5 and the UK maps. After I copied this to my mini SD it installed perfectly first time, straight out of the box. Having checked in the preferences the version is 5.210 (5430).
Unfortunately it doesn't rotate the screen when I slide the keyboard out. But at least they seem to have fixed the installation.
EDIT: I have an O2 XDA Mini S but did not install any of the O2 software.

But you can flip the screen in the TomTom setup all four ways

hiya
does TT5 works on the xda exec as well??
i am trying to install TT5. it came on a cd. loading instructions said to copy zip file to my documenys on xda exec and great britian maps on sd card then synchronise the xda and run cd and it should go fine. but this does not happen ? anybody knows about this problem?
help

How well do you find it runs on the Wizard?
I'm in pretty much exactly the same position, although I have a slightly older 5.0 version which I'm running on my X50V. It seems daft to take both the X50V and XDA Mini S so I'm looking to get Tomtom on the Mini S - my main concern is battery draw, I assume you're using a BT GPS receiver, how quickly does it run down?
On another note, anyone know what the activation limits are for Tomtom? I've activated it once around October last year on the X50V, the Wizard is obviously a different device.

@mohammadasif
had the same problem installing TT5 on my wizard.
TT5 installation does check the capacity of your memory card and quits without any message ich it's insufficient.
After installing a 1G SD card everything went well.

Would there be any chance you could zip all of the files up and upload them somewhere? You need a license code to activate the software, so it wouldn't be illegal. It's just that alot of people seem to be having problems.

TomTom 6.02 Freeze with trinity..

I've installed tha last ship ROM from DOPODAsia and sometimes my TomTom 6.02 will not respond to the touchscreen. I've to minimize it and then re-open in full screen and it will return to work.
mmmm... this rom is not very perfect IMHO

Tomtom 6.030
Hello
I have the same probleme with tomtom 6.030 and 6.010, 6.020 and 6.100
Perhaps htc rom will be corrige this probleme.
@++

on my side I have also tomtom 6
I have also a freeze but only during few seconds and only at the start of tomtom (during the 1st minute of usage of tomtom)
But for the moment I use tomtom without GPS ... just waiting for a new ROM

I also experienced these freezes with TomTom 6 and the latest official dopod image. So I downgraded to the latest test version which doesn't have this problem. Have quick fixes and both 6.02 and 6.03 are working fine. The only difference i noticed after installing 6.03 is that TomTom added a new GPS device called "built in gps receiver" which is now automatically selected. No probs here

Config u are using longfellow

Hello, initially had the latest test version of Dopod installed with TomTom 6.02 as GPS receiver I had chosen "other bluetooth receiver" and I used com 9 for this device in the settings ( just tapped with stylus on the black line in the gps settings, secon option) first fix took appr 6 min. Everthing went fine no freezes etc. I didnot have the gps reg hack nor did I have the gps icon in my settings. Everything went ok. After that I installed the official rom on monday just after its release. Installed the same TT6.02 same config. Then I became freezes too. So I installed 6.03 after that (on orig rom) with the settings for built in GPS receiver which is chosen automatically on Trinity btw. Same problems.
Which made me decide to go back to latest test rom, here i have now running TT6.03 which automatically puts the built in GPS receiver on COM9 & GPD1 (saw that after I performed the reg hack to get the GPS icon in my settings/access). Mostly i have the initial fix within 1 min! And absolutely NO freezes or slowing down in TT which I suffered with the official rom. So I suspect this official rom of some bugs because all other conditions in which i installed were the same.
Hope this will help. Btw I have a HTC P3600.
I have, on all occasions in which you can choose, installed TomTom6 on 1 GB minisdcard, nothing in PDA mem! Noticed that TT6.03 autom sets baudrate at 115200, but you can only see that after you perform the reg hack.
Just checked my rom that I use now, and see that it is not the latest version but it is version RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.23.707.2_6275_1.29.00.11_108_Test.exe.

Today i think i found out why my tom tom 6.030 sometimes hangs (if i quit and reenter tt everything works fine again).
So today I reinstalled my device at the office and also tomtom...
Came home from work and tt did not block any more...
Happy i transferred the radars to my device...
This evening i tested once again and it blocked again....
deleted my radars and warnings and it didn't block any more...
anyone who has the "application hanginging" problem: have u installed the radars...?
will do more testing the next days?

You may tried another memory card, cos i had the same problem with another device before ( also using tomtom 6, ) , then i just use another memory card, it work..

so after more tests I can definitely say that when I enable the poi and the warnings my Tomtom blocks....
if I disable them everything works fine....
I also tried with another minisdcard and another map...
the only thing I'm thinking of is that the radar poi are in some way corrupt?

just to throw another theory into the mix.....
I've been using tt6.01 on the original HTC wwe rom and now the lastest gps enabled rom, never had a lockup. Was just using the UK map.
Yesterday installed the complete western europe map, now get lockups when using this map. Switch back to UK and it's fine again.

I have also this problem. I press the green button, phone opens, i close it with my stylus.
After that TOM² opens, en it all works fine.

i've noticed the same like DREWY.
the last weeks i used only my germany-map. tomtom freezes only one time.
now i updated my tomtom an installed the germany-swiss-austria map.
now tomtom locks up very often.
my theory:
the maps are to big, an the trinity/tomtom can not handle this big maps.

More info about this "freezing" problem...
I've updated my spanish Trinity with the new/cooked english ROM... WITHOUT any problem working with TomTom 6.03 (radars activated, etc) using external (Bluetooth) GPS.
Working with the internal GPS... and with two miniSD different... a LOT of problems. It's impossible to run properly for more than 10 minutes. Not any problem using OZI, for example with any GPS (Bluetooth or the Internal one).
Somebody has tested it TomTom+internal GPS working with the french ROM (Orange one)?

Hello,
I use french Orange ROM on SPV M700 with internal GPS + TT6.100, the whole works fine since one month.
I use Western Europe map with traffic info activated.

Thank you Rahan for the info
I've just test my "New" french Trinity and NOW I don't have any problem with TomTom and the internal GPS
Probably, there was an instalation problem in my previous "english" Trinity. I'm going to restart from the beginning converting my "French" P3600 to an "english" one
---
The problem is the cooked ROM..because after installing it... TomTom DOESN'T WORK properly It works with Bluetooth GPS and with the Orange/french ROM (internal and external GPS)...but with this ROM (and with the GPS fix, etc)... NOT

Tomtom7 on HTC Touch HD/Blackstone and problems with tomtom home.

Hi everyone.
After some fiddling and playing, I have managed to install Tomtom7 v7910.9185, with the western europe 1GB 815.2024 map.
Then managed to get the UK postcodes added too as they were recognizing.
Now I seem to be having trouble connecting it to Tomtom Home. I have downloaded version 2.5 , but I already have a device connected , and when I try to switch to the new HTC Touch HD/Blackstone , i get errors saying wrong device..
Do I now have to tweak and play with tom tom home to get it to recognize my device.. Any help please, would be most appreciated.
Neil

you dont need to use tomtom home other than for mapshare, everything else can be installed direct
as im sure you know seeing you have maps that are not possible to buy without a working registered version of tomtom home
if you want mapshare, you need to search for the iberia workaround, the instructions exist on this site and via google, but sorry, i cant be bothered to do the search for you

TomTom7

Hi does anyone know if you can use TomTom7 on the HTC touch 3g, thanks for your time.
Nick

Yes.
Loaded it on sons 6 months ago no problems.
Only problem you need to install No Data and modify settings as it tries to log on to Orange, well it did on his.

Also running TT7 on my Touch 3G..
It works OK, doesn't lock up HOWEVER.. There is a fair lag between where you are and where it shows you on the map.. It may only be 1/2 a second but you can travel a long way in that time. Very anoying if you are trying to find your way through a city with a lot of turns..
I just use mine now as a backup otherwise I use a TT XL IQ live... (mind you even that has locked up a couple of times in a 6 weeks I've had it !!!)
Phil-w

Yes it works. I, however, use an external bluetooth GPS reciever thus avoiding the slow satellite 'hunting' you get with the built in one on startup. As for lag, not noticed it, must be the external GPS working better.

Tomtom 7
Hi thanks for the repies I tried to install it on my 3G but all it said was not compatable with the device any ideas to get it working thanks for all you time.
Nick

where did you get it from?

Hi got it off ebay but it is an orange phone

my tomtom 7 works fine on my jade

Hi tried to load tomtom 7 onto the phone again but just keeps telling me this is not compatable or says not a true windows programe I am stuck any idears how to get it on the phone thanks for all your time
Nick

I try TT7 on my T3238 but doesn't work properly. Few minutes works OK, sometimes it jam. I change TT -> iGO8. It works OK. I have new maps of EU and works great! Good luck!

Hi,
Loaded TT 7.9 onto Jade WM6.1 Pro.
everything works fine but I must agree with Wolves4Ever, using an EXT. GPS
brings better results.

Hello all
I installed TT7 v7.450.9028 with France map v720.1802 on my Jade (HTC official rom).
A-GPS is off, TT7 works but I have the same pb as I it is not smooth (1 image per 0.5 second). I have also route66 navigate 7 -> it is very smooth !
As a consequence, the internal gps is not for me the limitant factor
I will try the last TT7 lolite version, but today is there some parameters I can change to improve the TT7 speed ?
Thanks !

Ok so I made a test today > everything is fine !!! It works great
I have the Lolite version v7.916 with the same map, I removed all the POIs vision on the map, it is very smooth.
