anyone tried tt7n on the titan? i cant get it to installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401619
I also get an error when installing. A few folks have extracted the files from the cab, renamed the files according to the xml included, and are able to use it. Now just waiting on someone to kindly post those files, but it seems like it should work soon enough.
i used wince cab manager to extract the files to the appropriate folders. still no go. when launch, it still says that the app is not compatible with the device.
here is a cab file that will work on the titan.... don't ask where to find maps you're on your own

Map won't work
I have TomTom 6 with all my maps, but they won't work with this TomTom 7. Anyone knows what I can do? Maybe where to place the files?
What is the difference in TT6 and TT7?
works
Just installed Tom Tom 7.450.9028 with USA_and_Canada 720.1803 map and it works just fine.
Be sure to put the Map and Voices in their own folder on the storage card
I have Garmin XT 50 and Tom Tom 7 on my device - both work fine. Waiting to try IGO8 whenever they finally release the version 8 maps. Come on NAV-N-GO !!!
I still prefer using my bluetooth GPS versus the onboard GPS

anyone got tomtom home and mapshare to work with the titan? a couple of ppl got it to work with the kaiser.
Interesting...
I currently have the latest TT6 with latest 675.xx U.S. maps. What actual changes/improvements can we expect in TT7?
I was also wondering if they have fixed an annoying bug in TT6. Any time you launch TT6 it ALWAYS defaults to disabling Audio and you have to manually go into preferences and enable it _twice_ before you get sound. This is a documented, well known issue and it deals with how TT6 detects the radio as an active data connection and thus mutes audio since it thinks a communication is open (or something like that, may have it wrong). I believe it is designed to work like this as its present in all builds but it is a bit annoying.

ttn7 interface had some touch up, but remain pretty much the same as tt6. however, there are several big improvements, including the ability to use newer map and the ability of mapshare/map correction, and stronger and better routing engine. newer map is always better. all of the verson tt 6 maps were missing my cousin new area and my girlfriend's neighborhood. version 7 map has them. i havent got a chance to get mapshare working with my titan yet, but hope it would work one day. i tested the routing with tt7 by entering several destinations that im familiar with, such as my brothers and my sisters's places, parents and friends home, and tt7 gives me the best route that i would likely take. with the destinations that i have tried, i can say that routing of tt7 is much better than, iguidance, garmin xt, and tt6.
the voice/audio bug that you mentioned with tt6 6.032 is not there in tt7. for the same reason, i used tt6 6.02 instead of 6.032. tt6.02 doesnt have this issue. for some reasons, tt6.032 doesnt see your voice file at launch.
Just got this going right now after an interesting install. Works great, love having the newest map and engine. If anyone needs a walkthrough PM me and I will help as much as I can.
How do you install the maps I have the USA_and_ Canada_720.1803. Its over 800 MBs, that wont fit on my phone. Do i need just certain files out of the map folder?

You will need to put the map and voices folders on the root of the sd card. The program cab should be run and they will find each other.
Is there another mirror for the app (not the maps, the app)? The one posted earlier in this thread was removed from rapidshare, and this one doesn't seem to work on the titan.

Hi,
I've got a Touch HD with Tomtom 7, unfortunately the refresh rate (30-40m lag) is shocking (5secs). My ROM is the stock on and I bought my touch HD at the start of the year.
Tom tom 6 on my brother's touch HD (with a new ROM) has refresh rate of at least 3 times a second and it is quite precise.
What would be the problem the ROM or the software itself?
Also what is the latest version of the ROM? If I upgrade I need to backup the tomtom7 maps and files. Will tom tom 7 work if I copy it to my computer / storage card then copy back to internal memory?
Lastly I can't find the Tom Tom files on the phone - not in prgram files, only found the maps - which is on the storage card...
Thanks for your help
The so called tomtom GPS lag has been discussed to death on this forum, so I suggest you use the search function...
The actual tomtom software is located on the device in program files\navigator. But if you need to reinstall, it's best to do it with the org install files. If you just copy the navigator map back to your device, you'll miss the system files and registry entries.
i just get my htc touch diamond original in malaysia with touch3d ver 1.1.34571.0_1630.38. my diamond is new with original softwares.Previously i used symbian smart phone. But i found some trouble when i use win mobile because i do not understand it well.
i have a few question, i will be glad if seniors in this forum can help me.
my questions...
1)my touch diamond have only 80++mb for my device, remain 3.2gb is internal storage.i found problem when i install software because the message said not enough space. so can i install the software on "internal storage"? or can i do a new partition that make my device 1gb?
2)how to use .cab files?
3)if certain software that come in .rar @ .zip format, how to install in my diamond? (just extract it in paste into the diamond or have to install using active snyc?)
4) my original set come with activesnyc cd, but can only work with window xp, but my os is win vista....how to solve it?
5) i found that my diamond is damn slow, i found the forum " List of Diamond Tweaks " that can increase the performance of the diamond, but i can't found registry editor in my diamond.
6)the g sensor seem very great, but actually how to use it?(i only found it work in opera browser, how to use it in games likes need for speed undercover?)
7)the footprint add-on, i like to have it on my diamond. it is ok to work on my touch diamond?
8)the gps softwares, the pda shop give me the QuickGPS. but how about other like Papago , copilot n navitel?actually how it works?
9)i saw the new touch diamond2's ui, with is better than the one in touch diamond1. can i install the diamond2 ui into diamond1?(worried about it because the RAM n ROM in diamond 1 is smaller than diamond2, screen size also smaller)
thank you very much for reading my post.
Ok, welcome and use the search button up ther that it will solve almost all your future doubts...for now, i'll tell you what i know.
1)YOu can install the softwares on the internal storage, but not the "System" ones, like Opera, Touchflow 3d and others. You will see, if you install it and it doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall it on the device
2)Just tranfer than into the memory (any, storage or phone) and click the file on the phone.
3)Extract it on your computer, if it's a cab, do step 2. If it's a folder with an "EXE" file, double click it. If it says "not a valid win32 aplication", just transfer to the memory and execute the "exe" through the phone explorer. If it's a windows installer, connect your phone through the activesync and install it.
4) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center-download.mspx
5) There is no built-in, download and install the PHM Registry editor or TaskManager or any other. This is my personal favorite: http://freewareppc.com/utilities/taskmanager.shtml
6)The first one is my favorite:

7)Can't say, never used it.
8)On my diamond i have Igo 8 (http://www.igomyway.eu/product_4.html) and works perfect, just like a Gps-only tool. I also know that some others like Destinator and TOMTOM work really well.
9)Not yet finished, but it's being ported:

Well, if you do official HTC update from their site with your own S/N you'll not loose your warranty. In my opnion cooked rooms are better, but i won't tell wich one. That depends on the programs you like and how you like your diamond, is really personal and it's a "Forbiden" discussion here. It's up to you to read the posts and see if it's worth it a try.
If you have any more doubts, you can PM me for opnions, but i don't think this thread is a good place to discuss this, cause the matter already been discussed several times.
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.

Hi
There is may be a workaround here but i don't know about it. Officially Tomtom home won't support HD2. But use a t7.915.cab will be the easiest way to install Tomtom in the HD2 and it works great. You can find this cab file also here in xda. Just search
Good luck

I know that cab works on HD2 but the TomTom Home software installed on the computer won't recognise HD2 when it is connected to the computer.
is there any possibility with windows xp, so it means, with activesync instead of mobile device centre.
i´ve bought the traffic information, but can´t update my hd2 with it yet.
thanks!

Try tomtom home 1.5. I'm sure this works but will try and check and post reply.

TomTom Home 1.5 on XP does work with HD2 but there is no map share and you can not download anything. All it does is recognise the handset.
P.S. If you have active traffic subscription, you don't need to connect your HD2 with TomTom home to update traffic. Just enter your account details in to the MY ACCOUNT section in TomTom software on your handset and enjoy!
TomTom Home does'nt currently support HD2 so we need to wait for an update. I notice in your SIG that you have a touch Diamond,If you still have it, You can update the map on your Diamond and transfer the 4 files needed to HD2 (MapServerPatch,ServerLineIndex,ServerNameIndex,PatchFilter)

What are these files for ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
These are the files placed in your map folder by TomTom home, used for the mapshare updates. You can tell by the dates on the files, eg. if you update the map today, those 4 files will be dated todays date. If you copy them over to your HD2 Map then you will have the latest mapshare update.
I can install Tomtom Navigator 6 on my HD2 up to the point that the cabs are moved onto my SD card (16GB) and the card is installed. At that point the cab installs successfully and TomTom opens a setup screen, which seems to ask the interface language and left/right hand preferences. But this screen is scrambled (wrong resolution) so it's impossible to enter a response and it locks up. Has anyone got a work-around for that?
Strangely, that happened the first time I installed on the TyTnII; but then I was able to make out enough to press the right buttons and it worked fine after that.
Tomtom version 6 or 7
I tried to install tt6 - installation from cab without problems - but cannot open the program. Installed tt7.915.916 black, but it cannot recognize my maps from Western europe or Scandinavia - and installation was not possible on SD card.
I bought a licence from TT (version 6) and the programme was running very well on my HTC 3300. Are someone able to solve that problem ?
