I believe Tom Tom needs to be installed through your PC using activesync.
I dont use it though...

p.s.
all the tomtom files i had was from the old "universal" i used to play around with!
at that time, it worked fine with my wing(stock t-mobile ROM) but then i sold those two devices and then just recently, i decided to make the wing my MAIN phone again so i bought another one(lol) but now i cant get it to work!
i flashed my device with opentouch 2.7 biggy(GREAT ROM btw, kudos ttran!) if that makes any difference.

Did you even try what I recommended? Make sure all of the files are in a folder on your PC hard drive and run the .exe from there. Make sure your phone is connected through activesync.

thanks
hey thanks for your reply JLine05! that was quick!!!
ok. we'll do. im gonna try it out right now. ill post back up in a bit! thanks again, man!

ok. tried that but it didnt work! my pc says tomtom 6 is not a valid win32 app. this is with my wing connected via activesync too! hmmmm... im gonna try just separating all the items in the tomtom nav folder and put 'em out on the main dir. of my sd card.
or should should i just put the tomtom .exe file in /windows or /windows/programs or something like that and then run it???

this is also a bit off topic(sorry) but in the meantime, does anyone know how to change the clock colors? i've downloaded the files for the different colors but i cant put it in /windows! it says that the files im trying to replace is a "read-only" file therefore i cant delete/overwrite it!!!
is there a reg tweak or something that im missing???
one more thing. do you guys experience having issues turning on bt & wifi AT THE SAME TIME??? bec. see, i wanna surf the web while listening to mp3s via a2dp and i have my bt headset connected but then when i turn on wifi it just keeps on asking me for my password(wep key). i have all my wifi settings configured and it connects w/o asking for the wep(no problems) it just asks for it when im streaming mp3s to my bt headset!
as always, any help is appreciated!

I GOT IT!!!
i just extracted the file folder contents into the main dir. of the sd card and it worked!!! now all i need is to buy me a gps receiver & im all set! hehehe...
but i still got no tomtom icon in programs/start menu so i have to use file explorer everytime i wanna use it! is there any way to fix this?

Use total commander.
Find the .exe file and highlight it.
Click on File, then >>>>> (A), then choose create shortcut.
Click on Tree when the box comes up.
Click on the + to expand the windows directory.
Expand the Start Menu Directory.
Then you can point it to either programs or settings.
Now when you want to open it, a shortcut will be in the folder that you chose.

Are you sure it freezes? Mine just takes *ages* to finish that stage.
But yes, delete that folder and you'll be able to rebuild your library from scratch.

Delete the folder (that he said above) via file explorer. You can usually find the folder in the root of your storage card. Works everytime. G/L.

unable to find the hidden folder WMDRM, used the search program on my phone asnd still no luck . do i have to sync my tilt and delete it thru the cpu.

If you are using the standard file explorer, make sure that you have the "show all files" option switched on.

i wish it was that simple
yeah it is. win i pulled up winrar to un rar a file i saw it as a folder but i can't get to it. still haven't sync phone, @ wrk

If it 1 thing its another

after this it updating says it found 2087 files but only adds the file save to the phone not the memory card. doeas this sound familiar to any one

yeah use Total Commander or another "good" file explorer. & remove the "WMDRM" folder... it should be in the root folder of your SD card...
even then, if you have a TON of mp3's you may have to wait 5 minutes while it updates... I've had to reboot when it freezes & its hard to tell when its just taking forever & when its frozen :S
If that STILL doesn't work, try putting your files back on your desktop computer, then put your SD card in your computer, and re-transferring them that way.
Hope that helps

TomTom auto start

TomTom auto starts everytime I unplug my diamond from an usb connection. It only takes a few button presses to exit out of TT but it gets annoying after a while.
Any ideas

Which version are you using, It use to happen I think with version number 5.21 because that version have got the "Autorun" file in the installation folder and whenever you dissconnect your device, the device recognise the extra memory as it is just plugged-in.
Sid

I am running TT6 (which came with the phone) and ROM 1.93.831.1 but it was doing it with the previous ROM version as well.

delete the 2577 folder on your internal storage/where ever else it maybe and this should stop it.

man you really should use the forum search.
Its "autorunning" everytime you unplug usb as it sees the memory card again and autoruns. Follow the advice in the previous post and please use the search next time.

Addicteddddd - Thanks, I will try that
Monty - I searched under Tom Tom and auto Start and could not find what I was looking for.

As I said, follow the post above (Addicteds). In directory 2577 on the Internal Store you should find directory \2577\autorun. Delete this file.

Doesn't work for TT7
TomTom loads evrytime I soft reset. I'm using TT7 so is it possible to disable autorun for TomTom 7 as there is no 2577 folder?

Check if there's anything in \Windows\StartUp ?

autorun
i know this is a old post but i have the same on my thd with autorun when i remove my sd card
best way I found to deal with this is just go to the sd card into folder 2577 and just rename the files in that folder or rename the folder.
that way if you do need it at any time you can just rename it.
and you have your autorun back.

Using an a program like Total Commander you can unzip the files to the root of your SD card.
-or-
Unzip the files on your computer and move them to the root of your SD card.

and if the files are in the root of my SD card, will the program recognize them? a have seen some maps in .cab file which extract the maps in the SD ,in folder something like /Program Files/Athens/

When you start your the TomTom program up it will see the map. I have my maps in a folder by itself on the same level as my Program Files folder (i can see them at the same time when you are looking at it in File Explorer.

OK, but it dont give me to select the maps, just says "No maps found" and "Welcome you can download 1 free map of your choice and experience GPS Navigation", and this is all.
What version of tomtom are you useing?

I am using TomTom7 it is version 7.45. Do you know if you have the file ttnavigator.bif in the root of your SD card?

where is this file 'ttnavigator.bif' , i dont find it, is it in the map package or in Tomtom7 package ?

If you cannot find the ttnavigator.bif, check in the \program files\navigator directory either on the phone itself and also check for it on the SD card. If it is in one of those two spots you can copy and move it.
If you cannot find it, you can reinstall the TomTom7 software.

Update 4.2.2 and TomTom

Hi all,
I had TomTom UK and Ireland working on my HTC one and before upgrading to 4.2.2 i took a copy of everything on my phone so i knew where to put the folders after the update, eg ringtones etc...
Since the update and moving the TomTom folder back TomTom doesn't pick up the maps, i have tried it in the TomTom folder on the root, putting the com.tomtom.ukireland folder on the root and i have tried putting both of these folders under android>data and the app doesn't see the maps.
Any ideas where this folder should live now?

They probably need to update the app to use the new folder structure

Still doesn't work for me with my HTC One Mini (Android 4.2.2).
The only difference is that I'm using Mac OS X, so I'm unable to navigate to .metadata.xml. Instead I check it before I upload it to the device (and there's exactly sdcard). After first launch I reupload .metadata.xml, which again contains correct sdcard name. Still does not work.
What am I doing wrong?

Same issue for me, but I'm on PC. It's outrageous that TomTom has taken this long to fix the problem. It's not like they're an inexpensive application. It's really pissing me off that I spent $40 on the USA version and was only able to use it for six months before we HTC One users get hosed by an OTA update that breaks our software.
