I fiddled around with my extended rom this week.
Now I managed to get all my favourite apps in the ext-rom so in case of a hard-reset (especially when on holiday, do no PC around) I will get a decent config back.
Until now I did not manage to get a CAB file for TomTom.
TomTom comes in APK files, which seem to be some other type of archive. I guess there are 2 options:
1. Create a CAB from the TomTom APK files and put them in Extended rom
2. Find out the way to install from an APK file ON THE DEVICE
Anyone with hints/tips????
:?:
Hello,
the cab of TT are created during the installation of TT ( see in program files / Microsoft ActiveSync) . You can download the upgrade of TT, during he instllation, the cab are uncompressed. You can find after the Cab and save in the extended Rom.

Thanks, but this is what I guessed allready.
There is nothing TomTom like in the Progra Files/Microsoft Activesync directory.
I started setup again (it processed the APK files), but did not connect the MDAII. So whith next sync it will ask to install. That makes me conclude the CAB is somewhere on my PC.
When I look in the Registry, I find following under H-key-localmachine/software/microsoft/windows CE services/appmgr/apps/Tom Tom Navigator:
installdir -> c:\winnt\profiles\<username>\temp\navigator
listcabfiles -> navigator_eng.ppc3_arm.cab navigator_eng.ppc3_sh3.cab navigator_eng.ppc3_mips.cab
I think I only need the navigator_eng.ppc3_arm.cab
Gues the files should be in c:\winnt\profiles\<username>\temp\navigator then.
But it isnt . . . .
Should it be there only during the copy to the MDAII???
Anyone more clues?
FOUND IT!!!!
Just when the installer mentions the files will be installed at next sync, the CAB's are in the directory I mentioned.
TT3 after Hard Reset
Here you are the 3 necessary cab for TT3,
Gps, Nav and voice, english in this case.
Two of those are taken from the upgrade file 303.
Voice are english and it's from original cd.
Enjoy

ehm, thist this might be called illegal software now!!!!
i don't want that,
only a way to have it after hard reset...
Sorry, moderator can you come... :shock: :shock:
Rups
how can it be called illgal software now when......
it doesnt have the maps with it nor the activation code!
some people eh? :roll:
theis method of backing up sounds like a very good idea,
Tom Tom Navigator is essential to my job for finding my way around the country and i have had 2 occasions where it has crashed or hard reset whilst i was using it, I am not too worried about any of my other info but i need to be able to run TTN3 all the time,
My current method of ensuring i have always got a working copy is to carry another PPC (ipaq 2210) with another gps and another 256 meg sd card with a full install of TTN3 just in case i get into trouble, But this sounds like a much better and far more cost effective method !!
I will give this a try, I assume i just install my maps onto my SD card like i normally do and if i reinstall i just reactivate the new install to get it working again
Thanks guy...
In this case i wrote that the cab was extracted from the upgrade 303... normally find it at main tomtom site and free of charge...
Second the many voice files you can find free of charge on the internet...
Third my idea was having tt3 in any occasion... also after a hard reset...
Fourth No code or maps...
And than here we go...

Hi
I'm new to this loading stuff to the extened ROM business, but I like the sound of it.
In order to do this do I copy the CAB file anywhere in the pocket PC, i.e. my documents and then run it, or does it need to be copied to the extended ROM.
If it is copied to the extended ROM, do I then need to actually run the CAB file from the extended Rom after a hard reset in order to re-install it, or is it actually installed.
Finally what is unlocking the extended ROM tool required for?
Cheers
JustinP
please don't post software here.
By all means put the instructions, but the RTU for tomtom make it quite clear that it should not be dissasembled, distributed or made available without permission.
Hi Guys,
Just got my K-Jam today. The smartdialling.dll file is there, however I don't have the option to enable it (nor does it work) in the phone app! Any ideas? I'd rather no hard reset again, i've just got the apps on!!!
TiA,
CK
did you try to install the smartdialing cab?
go to \Extended Rom (eg with the free Total Commander)
and find a file with something like 'smartdialing' in it s name. make a copy of that file and then execute the CAB so that it will be installed.
probably you will have to shutdown your device completely after this to get the result.
another option would be to do a hard reset and let the applications install from extended rom on boot, but I guess you will prefer the first way...
hope that works for you, it did work for me...
CIAO!

Thanks VoodooS!L! Worked a treat!
Hi!
I bought an XDA Exec about a month ago, and I've already had a problem with it. I installed some 3rd party software which it didn't seem to approve of.
Anyway, to cut a long story short - the file camera.exe now appears to be missing. It's not on the O2 disks, and I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help by sending it to me, please? You'll have my undying gratitude if you do. I might even stretch to buying you a beer.
One thing, though - I'm a complete beginner with this device, so please make any explanations of what to do as non-techie as possible.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.
Okay, I fixed camera.exe. 8)
Thing is, now camera.lnk seems to be corrupt too. Would anyone be kind enough to let me have a copy of that?

Try freeware Total Commander for PocketPC, this cool file manager can create a new fresh shorcuts.
Help me!!!
I got the same problem. Where did you find the camera.exe and camera.ink file.Could you please send me to [email protected]
camera.exe
Could you tell me how you fixed it?
and if i need to replace the file where can i get them from?
Pratik
You need to replace camera.exe - you can download it from here. Or at least, you could a couple of weeks ago.
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=329C495F0E41A994
The thing is, if you try to add camera.exe to your XDA, it won't allow you to do that. You need to zip the file, then copy camera.zip to your XDA, unzip it on the XDA and then it works!
The problem is that the camera button won't work then, because camera.lnk is also corrupt. You need to create a new shortcut for the new camera.exe. I can't remember offhand how I did it, but I'll check it and get back to you.
Could any kind person post me or email me a copy of BTtrayCE for TP2 as I accidentaly deleted mine and now I can't use Bluetooth.
Info of the file path would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi clark97
That's wierd because normally if you delete a file in the ROM you just soft reset and it appears back.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking
Cheers , read in another post its because I installed tom tom 7.450 which overwrote it, for some reason a soft reset isn't enough and you need to either recopy or hard reset.
Thanks for reply
Clark
did you get your bluetooth working again? i have the same problem, Tomtom has killed it! Hard reset seems to be the only way to get it back on....
BTTrayCE.exe you will find this file in the \windows\ folder and a link in
autostart(i have delete it, i dont need everytime bluetooth on,
i have a link in the programm folder),
B2T.
when TT overwrite it, normally you can delete it(with TC or Resco)
after a Softreset you have the original BTTrayCE.exe back...

I had the same problem myself but found the answer on this forum:
TOMTOM places a new BT dlls under the windows folder that I had to remove:
\Windows\BtSdkCE30.dll
\Windows\BtCoreIf.dll
You can either ename them or remove them and then soft restart your Touch Pro 2 and everything will go back to normal.

I personally renamed them, being slightly nervous about deleting files in the Windows folder: still, it worked for me and evidently this fellow on the HTCForums website

Thx a lot !
Lost my BTTrayCe.exe (in fact, not that lost, rather the phone told me : "BTTrayCe.exe is not a valid WM application") after installing TT7.
After renaming the file all came back to normal.
So once again : thank you !
Thank you, that solved my father's problem
Problem solved.
Hi,
I had the same problem after installing TT7.
After renaming the two .dll files all was fixed after a soft reset.
Thanks you guys for your great advise and work.
With regards,
San

Hi.
I am having some trouble with my LEO!
When I try to enable bluetooth trough comm manager, I recive a message that says "can not enable bluetooth".
When I am going on advanced settings menu and touch the bluetooth icon it gets highlighted but nothing happends. All others connections and icon do work perfect.
I have had my device for 3 days, and have never tryed bluetooth on it before. I have stock ROM on it.
Hope that someone can help me with this problem.
Sorry for crappy english! =)
Do you have TomTom installed on your machine? That navigation software can screw up the Bluetooth stack on the HD2 by installing and overwriting WM stock bluetooth files...

Yes, I have tomtom installed. Is my only option hard reset, and never use tomtom again?
When device is starting up I got a warning: BTTrayCE.exe is not a valid pocket PC program.
Any ideas?
It's very simple to fix this:
remove BtCoreIf.dll from Windows folder and softreset.

Thank you so much! It is working perfect now! =)
You're welcome.
Same problem, trying to apply the same solution, but can't delete the file. I've tried with Total Commander but it says it can't! Any ideas what the 'user error' here is?
Please check if the attribute of the file is ROM.
If is ROM, then you have the original file.
If ROM is not set, then try to soft-reset the device then with the native file manager choose "Show all files" and delete the file.
Then soft-reset again.
It is read only, system and in ROM according to Total Commander. The native file explorer has now lost the delete option completely! Properly stuck now!
It's a normal behaviour of the file Explorer. You can't delete a ROM file.
You have the original file.
Try to delete BTTrayCE.exe, then and then restart.
It will be restored automagically.
Let me know.
That is also a ROM file and won't delete.
Ah!
I don't know, then, what is the problem.
What type of issue you have on your mobile?
Exactly the same as the OP, when the phone starts it has a Bluetooth Error, then won't start Bluetooth.
Ok, but you can write what message you see, exactly, please?

Factory reset will fix it, and was for me the only way to get it to work again.
For fun.. Try your FM radio. It does also not work anymore!
Sorry, I can't help you, then.
Yes, unfortunately in some cases it's impossible to delete the files modified by the TomTom install. At first I have done a hard reset, too; then I prepared a modded TomTom CAB file without the BT drivers so that now everything works fine. If you should need it, I can upload it somewhere.
Hmmmmm! I'm not going to run a factory reset until I can put HSPL and a modified ROM, it's a pain not being able to use my bluetooth headset, but not worth the hassle of reinstalling everything. While I'm waiting I'm going to try out loads of other bits of software and workout how to use Sashmi etc to make it much easier to restore everything when I change ROMs.
Drakknar, if you could upload that file somewhere that would be useful, not just for me I'm sure. Maybe email it to the guy who's doing the hints and tips thread to attach it to that perhaps?
I'd be glad to share the link with everyone, but I think that posting a link to TomTom Cabinet in XDA-Dev would be against the rules. If it's allowed, I'll send the link to the author of the tips n tricks post, otherwise I can send a PM with the updated .cab to those who are interested
