Thanks. But TT 5.1 works fine on my EXEC without any problems already. I was wondering if there is an actual difference in experience? Because I dont want to fix what aint broken unless there are new features or a performance improvement, etc...
So has anyone with the 5.2 update installed experienced any significant improvement please??

Just tried the cracked one, and I can't see a difference against 5.1. The screen still draws visibly slowly and the UI is still as limiting and unsophisticated as ever.
I can't see any benefit in upgrading if TT is working already for you.
Looks like TomTom will be waiting a while longer to get my upgrade fee. I'm happy to upgrade legitimately from my legitimate v3, but I don't consider it to be a viable option at the moment. TomTom seem to have lost their way on PocketPC software since they are apparently unifying the software to match their TomTomGO platform. Sadly that leaves those of us with sophisticated multi-purpose devices wondering why we can't have the flexibility of version 3, in which we could keep the Windows Taskbar on the screen and actually use the damn operating system at the same time!
Not good, TomTom. Not good at all. :evil:
Thanks SiliconS.
You have no choice but to wait for the upgrade as I can't find any link to do this on their web site. Does anyone know of any other way of upgrading?
I have version 3 & I refuse to buy version 5 other than through an upgrade.
Mike
I have paid for the upgrade, but the cracked version saves having to mess around with their annoying registration system.
I find the UI clean and elegant. It allows you to quickly do what you need, without fuss. It also makes switching from other TomTom's (Go etc) easy. I find version 5 far better than 3. The maps are much improved too and include all of Europe. Easily worth the upgrade price.
(The screen update is slow in landscape mode, but fine in Portrait.)
i got this (on the wizard) and i still get the same backlight turning off when running it problem. and the hex edit doesnt work with this exe (well not the same values anyway)
thefunkygibbon, you need to hex edit the exe and find the 4 instances of backlight and change them to bbcklight.
Works great on wm5.
hack done
Tomtom 5.2 with hexa change
I have noticed no difference in operation over 5.1
The only change I can see is that it installs via active sink (sic) and ignores the instruction to install to the SD card by placing the application in RAM :evil:
not working correctly
this works for me but cant get any voices to work (i put them on the storgae card from original disk)
it will not find my gps either any ideas

Yea, those bozos at TomTom excelled themselves again, didn't they?

Apart from what was said on Howard Forums, which I agree with (clueless TomTom devs!), the update seems to add the ability to install without having to copy the CABS onto the phone.
Apart from that, no difference. If you start it up in landscape mode, it'll run in portrait mode.
One other hint that TomTom are clueless idiots - the compatibility list shows the Jasjar and the MDA Pro as being compatible. However, when I requested an activation code from them they insisted the M5000 was not compatible. They wouldn't accept that the M5000 and the XDA Exec were the same hardware and base image!
In tomtom V5.21 better bluetooth management and u can install directly by activesync with WM2005. For the voices you must to install with the original disk and then you can choise the voices otherwise copy tomtom directory contain the voices in "my documents"

Precisely. Activesync install was the one obvious thing they had to fix, and they cocked it up. Funny how every other WM5 developer in the world seems to manage it.

Precisely. Broken landscape mode. No support for soft buttons. So what's this magical support for WM5? Everything works the same (or doesn't) as in 5.1.

Clealry, TomTom employees are a complete bozos, and their management couldn't give a sh*t because they've got your money. No wonder people are so keen to rip them off.

Yes, but the morons f*cked up the code so it won't install to the Storage Card. One CAB doesn't ask, the 2nd CAB asks but ignores your answer. So unless you move everything by hand with File Explorer, that's 3MB of your precious main memory wasted. Don't forget it's your money that's paying them to write that crap.

After "liberating" a device with the tools provided here at this forum, will Live Messenger actually work ?
I saw the video from Modaco and there the icon was visible. Will it work ?
works for me no problem.......
Also worked for me no problem!
My God I love my device
This is just so awesome. The moment I read about being able to restore WM6 for about 75% of full functionality, I ordered mine.
Indeed, anything that is installed on WM6 will work. Now I need to get my GPS receiver to upload it's data to a website where I can download it again to feed to my Windows Mobile applications.
Or... We wait for BT connectivity hacks from this forum Gotspeed to all.
live was even on early rom versions. might still be there but just needs the shorcuts.

Hi Folks,
I bought Garmin XT for my touch HD (Dutty 1.7) and will receive it within the next couple of days.
I heared and read in this forum that it is designed to be used with the included 2 GB card !!! I have 8 GB card that carry all my songs and data and can't exchange it for a 2 GB card !!! I didn't know this fact before buying the software and now its too late to cancel the purchase !
Is there any way to copy the software from the 2 GB included memory card to my current 8 GB card.
Please help as its not practical at all to carry 2 Memory cards all the time and keep switching them !!!
Thanx
I am using garmin tx V5 the latest with Maps loaded on my 8GB card without any problem i wonder why you are thinking that it wont work. I dont know if it worked because the garmin i have is cracked not purchased but i think it will work with your 8GB card. Dont worry about it.
Thank you very much for your reply, I read in this forum and others that you cant copy the software to your memory card and you have to use the 2 GB supplied card that comes with the package !!! I got some tricky steps on how to copy the software to my 8GB card using a key Generator as the software comes locked to the included 2 GB memory card ID !!(There is ID for each memory card). I will try it once I receive the software.
I would like to ask you if the Panoromio viw is working on your HD as I heared that it gives some error.
Thanx

I dont know know what you mean by Panoromio viw i think panoramia view ? Anyway I dont use it that much but for my Lebanon map, it rocks, it is really very clear and precise.
If you need any help PM me as it is not allowed to help cracking/working with warez.
Thank you very much, I am still waiting for the Garmin package to arrive, offcourse will mail you if I need any help.
Thank you very much
I am having the same issue witx garmin xt, you can't copy the software to a bigger card. Can somebody pm me some help please??
Panoramio works however right now if the phone is showing garmin in portrait view it will give you an error when you click on Panoramio its a bug in garmin.
I installed HDtweak and in the settings on phone choose button and change the option to portrait, then all you have to do is long press the call button to change to landscape and Panoranio will work
I got the Garmin XT on cd so good luck with copying to another card

Maybe someone has already posted this, but the T-Mobile MDA Compact V update to Windows Mobile 6.5 is available on the UK website:
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS&tab=1
Let me know how you get on, and then I may try it myself!
Thanks for the update! Been checking almost every day, but forgot today...
I sent mine off for repairs a few weeks back and it came back with 6.5 on it. Dumped the ROM and posted it on here in the Topaz ROMS section.
http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581070
BTW it's way better than the 6.1 stock rom but not as good IMO as the cooked rom I'm using (Dutty's HG1)http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579076
Yes it pretty much still sucks. Better Home Screen please T-Mobile? Maybe throw some Sense UI type widgets in there??
A list of pros and cons (specific to this phone) would be useful. I read of one con: the standard WiFi connection has gone. Has anyone found improvements in Bluetooth connectivity/functionality?
Does anyone know if it has CoPilot 7 preinstalled (like the T-mobile 6.1 ROM)?
My wife had a real problem getting CoPilot working when she got the Compact V. The 18 month freebie ran out after 1 month and, in the end, T-mobile just sent her an unlimited license key.
Because she had this much hassle to get CP7 working, I've not wanted to put another ROM on for her, which would mean she loses it. [I'm not sure whether everything she'll need to reinstall CP7 is on the storage card (which she can then use her license key with) or whether there are key files that are only present in the T-mo ROM.]
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks Mike. Been checking every flippin day for this.

If you use Firefox, install the 'Update Scanner' add-on. This monitors web pages for changes. It is also good for snapping up returned theatre tickets!

I've just rung 150 with the same question and had no sensible reply back [it did include the usual 'nothing to do with us' comment, even though T-Mob are who 'sold' us all Co-Pilot so it is very much to do with them]. I have been promised a call back in 20 minutes...

I have an idea that CoPilot is associated with the SDcard. I upgraded my SD-card from the standard 2GB to 8GB. I copied CoPilot across, but it would not work. I had to first unregister it from the old SDcard and reregister on the new SDcard.

I did just copy the files over to a 16gb card and it worked. This was before I had the correct license installed. But then that is just a text file isn't it, so can be readily copied around between cards. The programme itself was pre-installed on the handset. What we were not given was a retail sd card version of the programme - the card didn't have the 2577 folder that a retail version would have included, so we are not in a position to reinstall.
Yes this does have CoPilot 7 preinstalled on it. The main program is built into the ROM. You will also need to keep the SD Card files as they are still necessary.
*BEFORE* you upgrade, you first have to deactivate your CoPilot key in the CoPilot 7 Licensing screen. This will give you a deactivation code.
You then go to the ALK deactivation website on your computer (just do a search) and enter the product key and new code.
Then you can flash the 6.5 ROM and reactivate your CoPilot 18-month license.
Forget to do this and you'll have to deal with ALK directly and get them to deactivate it after the fact.
Thanks very much for confirming this. Now of course my wife is asking what else is actually better about the 6.5 ROM. Although I jumped at the chance to upgrade my TP2 when the new ROM came out, I must admit I'm struggling a bit to tell her what the killer features of the new ROM may be!
- Marketplace, well that's available in 6.1 now anyway.
- Slightly more touch friendly, but nothing too groundbreaking.
- Weather wallpaper - not sure if this is even in the T-Mobile ROM as they managed to mangle the TouchFlo clock in the stock 6.1 ROM.
- ???
Anyone have any thoughts on what might persuade my "if it ain't broke, don't fiddle with it" wife to upgrade?

FWIW - I seem to recall that after a hard reset, the first boot seemed to take a long time and I got the impression this was because CoPilot was installing itself. I also found a Copilot*.cab file (8Mb or so in size) in the \Windows directory, so I wonder whether this is basically the same as would be present in the 2577 folder.
Of course, I haven't actually tried using this to install on a clean ROM...
Agree that one does, of course, need the SD card as this has all the map data, etc.
Just wanted to say that I was unable to deactivate my copy of CoPilot 7 Live on my Compact V, the option just wasn't there on the licensing page. I went ahead and upgraded my rom anyway and am now unable to use CoPilot, so for anyone else wanting to upgrade, if you can't deactivate then CoPilot will not work when you upgrade.
Hopefully ALK will sort this for me.
I had this problem after resetting my Compact V (6.1, not tried 6.5 yet). I still had the original product key/licence code in my IE url history. After relaunching this page I selected the 'free trial' option and it worked!
I have upgraded the OS, but the previous product key that gave me full European cover didn't work. I reinstalled Copilot using the cab file - as metioned above - and that allowed me to start the registration process again, as when I first got the phone. This opened up Internet Explorer, and offered a 18-month evaluation for £0 but at the end of the process it is only UK/IE
Anyone got it back up to full EU?
ps I too didn't have any deactivate options originally, though I do now...
New query - On the web I see lots of screen grabs and videos of Diamond 2s with 6.5 and home screens featuring animated weather, more colourful icons along the scroll bar, etc. Have T-Mobile provided an older version of HTC Sense in this ROM [2.1 instead of 2.5]?
Yes it is older. Not sure which Sense UI is used, I got rid of T-Mobile 6.5 once I installed it (hated it personally) and went the Cooked way....
How do I install TomTom on this phone? I have tried to install from a cab file that I used successfully on a Touch Pro but the installation fails on the Touch2 reporting the application as incompatible.
Can you please point to a TomTom cab file that works with WM6.5?
Even better if it is a version where I can activate a free local map as in fact that's all is need on this phone....
Thanks.
There are certain sources that provide QVGA cabs, google is your friend.
The QVGA version easily found googling has problems with WM6.5: it screws the Bluetooth stack.
Ah that explains why my bluetooth isnt working anymore, well Navigation is more useful then bluetooth for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4898541&postcount=8
Do this and both bluetooth and tomtom will work.
i didn't have a problem with tomtom 7 installing on the htc touch 2 aka mega.
I even got it working with my external gps. so bluetooth doesn't stop working with my cellphone. I will try tomtom 7 + bluetooth external GPS + Bluetooth earphone this evening to test if even that will work
After installing TT7 just delete these 2 files BtSdkCE30.dll & BtCoreIf.dll from Windows directory. Bluetooth stack will work again
Touch2 Tomtom screenshot
Can any post a screenshot of Tomtom on the Touch2 please.
I'm thinking of buying this phone but i'm afraid the screen will be too small for tomtom.
Would be much appreciated.
From the small test i did, it works fine although it seems to suffer a small lag, it remembered my previous diamond, ...
Here a screenshot i've take inside my home, for me the visual it's good ( not awesome but still good )
Good enough to use. Bought this phone. Loving it more the more i use it.
Thanks for the trouble making the screen. xx

You can make the visual map screen bigger by selecting less elements in the statusbar....I use only remaining distance, arrival time and speed.....
Also the colorscheme you use makes quite a difference in visibility...can recommend you "default contrast" for the day and Vapno for the night. Via TomTom website many many schemes available.

Trouble installing Navigator 7
I have a Touch 2 with Windows 6.5 and recently bought Tomtom Navigator 7 on a memory card from Handtec. I had trouble getting it to install so here are my notes & instructions which I hope will help others in future.
The Tomtom web site says that the Touch 2 is compatible with Navigator 7 but when I tried to install the software it said my device was incompatible with the version of software. Strangely, given that Navigator 7 is supposed to be new, the newest “modified” date of any of the software on the memory card is June 2009, more than a year ago.
I logged a question with Tomtom support after logging into my account on their web site. After asking me to send them a copy of my invoice for purchasing Navigator 7 they said there was a software update ttn7.zip which I could download from the web site. The support response was very prompt – less than half an hour – but their installation instructions were poor and it took several rounds of questioning to figure out what actually had to be done.
I had copied the contents of the Tomtom memory card on to my own card. The correct instructions for the update are as follows:
- with ttn7.zip downloaded from Tomtom and on the PC, click on it in Windows Explorer to display the contents.
- This is a folder called ttn7. Click on it again in Windows Explorer to display the contents.
- You will see two items – start.exe and a folder called “2577”
- Delete the existing folder “2577” on the memory card (which had been copied from the Tomtom memory card earlier
- copy the new “2577” folder from the Tomtom download on to the memory card so it takes the place of the old “2577”
- there is no need to copy start,exe as a version with the same date is on the memory card
- With the Touch 2 off, load the memory card
- Power the Touch 2 on.
- During the power up process the Tomtom software will auto-install
- Worryingly my Touch 2 gave the same old warning message that the device is incompatible with the version of the Navigator but the installation process ignored this and carried on.
- Tomtom will prompt for the usual installation questions including the activation code that came on a sheet of paper with the memory card
- From now on it’s a case of answering the questions and configuring the various options to taste. Navigator 7 seems to work fine although I haven’t taken it out in the car yet.
