TomTom Problems

Ive searched the forum for a couple of hours and i cant find a solution to my questions so i thought id create a new thread.
i have downloaded TomTom, i have the .cab file and the .exe file but neither seem to work.
when executing the .exe file i get to the window where it says 'modify, repair, delete' and then the programs closes. if i pick modify it asks me to do a soft reset, which i do and then nothing happens again after that.
when trying to install the .cab it says i need to update my rom version.
i have just flashed duttys 6.1 rom so wondering what could be the problem?
i have been trying to install tomtom for some time now and i would appreciate any help.
cheers

Hi
What .exe file r u talking about? You only need to copy the .cab file to your phone first, then run it from your phone. As for maps use tomtom HOME software...go to tomtom web site to get it..& install on your comp then use it to install the maps. There's a freebie small map to try though with tomtom if it's your first time using it.

The posted thread doesn't relate to the original problem. He can't install the tomtom software. Make sure you have version 6.032.8351 tomtom .cab
My tomtom works just fine.

as stated above my question is not answered, and yes i have searched for hours.
i have the 'Installer_Kaiser_ttn_6_032_8351_HTC_WWE_20070716' .exe file that someone posted on another thread somewhere on here but i cant seem to find it anymore...and i also have the 'ttn_6_032_8351_HTCWWE_Kaiser' .cab file...i know these are just two different types of installation, im just explaining that i have both, and im having trouble with both.
i know that you just put the .cab on the phone and it installs but i get the error message saying a rom needs to be updated.
and with the .exe file do i need to download anything extra before executing it from my pc?
thanks

OK let me clarify this. YOu have flashed dutty 6.1 ROM on your phone successfully correct? If so...
the posted .exe you don't need it..to install tomtom software
and the .cab file posted the name of it doesn't look right..
if you have an email address I can try to email the one I use for you.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1942755

that link above is pretty interesting...never encountered that. Kill all apps that could be causing conflict. If that still doesn't work, try using another cab. I have WM 6.1 3.02 version and mine works totally fine.

Can't install gmail.jad midlet on Kaiser...

Anyone managed to install gmail.jad from gmail.com/app on Kaiser?
I've tried 3 different jvms - to no avail... Results in error messages saying the .jad is invalid. Kaiser not supported yet?

do you have a midlet manager installed?
install the attached file and then try to install your java based app.

Thanks man,
Of course I do, I tried 3 different ones: Intent, IBM MIDP 2.0 and Esmertec JBed and none of these worked. Those were the midlet managers that gave the error messages actually...
Just tried your version of Esmertec JBed, and I WAS ABLE TO INSTALL the gmail.jad midlet with the help of it! Still it won't run for some reason though... Guess I gotta do some more digging...
Thanks!

Have you made any progress in your search?
I had a similar issue with the IBM MIDP a while back, so I'm interested to see if how you've fixed the problem.

Do you happen to use Dutty's ROM?

I just installed this one to test and it worked for me on my Kaiser.
http://el8.org/gmail.jad
ROM: NoThrills WM 6.1 WWE *English* V3 - The first ROM with the brand new OS build 19202!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379411
Esmertec Jbed Build ID 20080222.3.1

you, sir, are a genius
where did you find that jad file???? i've been looking for a version of the new gmail applet (1.5.0) that would work with jbed and i couldn't find it ANYWHERE.
i have no idea where you got that file, but please accept my sincere thanks!

Your welcome. I did a search on Google for the following: gmail.jad
I found the link for that file on the last hit of the first page of results.

I can confirm it works on a Mio Digiwalker A501 as well
thx!

i cant install GMAIL applet. it asks if i want to install the unsigned applet but neither YES, no NO Buttons work.

Try this one

what does JBed3dMod_RU_FIX.zip do?

it installed.. just needed internet connection

can't find application
Hello! I successfully install the gmail.jar file and it runs quite well on my htc touch cruise. My problem is that after I close the application I can't find it anywhere in my file browser. The only way I can restart the app is to chose to reinstall the cab file, and then cancel the installation. After that it puts me to a folder called "Java" and there I can see the app and able to start. I think I should run Gmail through the previously installed the Cloudyfa_EsmertedJbed but I'm not able to find where it is installed on the device. Not even the search function is able to find it. Forgive me for being such a lamer and please help me !

What did you do to fix this? I've tried multiple times to install the Gmail application but it can never connect stating that it needs a Data Connection.

Mine just is stuck on "loading".... too bad because it used to work. I am on a kaiser as well.

co-sign, same here. Any ideas?

i use it all the time on my kaiser with no problems.
goto gmail.com/app in PIE (only works in PIE) and follow the instructions. It auto downloads an appropriate jad. Has worked every time for me, regardless of rom (currently Dutty's 29/04)

It installed perfectly fine for me thru PIE, however (for the guy that couldnt find the install location programfiles>java>Gmail)
but it wont connect, cant seem to get into any settings or anything either.
Was hoping this would work better then setting up gmail thru the mail client, when looking for certain emails w/ attachments and ****, the regular client doesnt have enough options.
Anyway anyone else get this weird need data connection error?
Obviously i have a data connection.

Its a known issue and it doesn't matter what radio you are using. There is a fix, but it takes longer and is more of a hassle. First I don't know if you have signed up at MyTomTom.com yet or not, but you have to because the version that does work is not English speaking voices, so you will have to download an English voice. Go to the link in my signature under Programs, its called "Working TomTom", download it and install it to the device. If you need help getting the voices set up just let me know and I will walk you through it.

TYKDKobes finally got that installed. hopefully its better then the other navigation softwares I've tried so far.

Thanks will try this, finally got Nav 5 installed, but would like version 6 for newer maps. Sorry to be a bit thick, but do you mean to install the file I downloaded onto my device and the try to install Nav 6?

That CAB is TomTom Navigator 6. So just install it from your device.

Got it working, downloaded voices, Thanks heaps for you help!

In my signature is a link for all the free TomTom voices instead of trying to find them all. Just download the Zip file and extract it to your computer. You will need to REPLACE your current "voices" folder with this one. For instance my TomTom is installed on my Device, under Programs, Navigation, and in that folder you will see another folder called "voices" that is where TomTom stores its voices. All you are doing is taking the one you downloaded and replacing it with the old one. **this will replace any current downloaded voices**
"the zip file is located under cabs"

will install and test the application.
thanks

Hi, can you help me, I'm trying to install Tomtom 6 to my HTC cruise. I keep getting the message to update my ROM, I tried to follow the advice in this thread, but have failed. Can you walk me through it? Cheers

what is the speed of tomtom like on your device mate? mine is painful, screen refreshes every 1.5 seconds, whereas i get 15fps on another sat nav program (which actually holds reception better than tomtom too!)
TomTom support were helpful, told me to hard reset and try again. I think its a software issue with 6.032.
The other sat nav programs arem much more graphic intensive too, so i doubt its the graphics drivers.

Which version of TomTom did you download and install. Usually that error appears when you download the TomTomWWE(World Wide English). The one you need to download and install if you get that error is the Working TomTom CAB which can be found in my signature under CABS, Programs. Should work then.

how do I install the program from you're cab to my HTC cruise? I'm a bit of a novice at this, sorry.

Download the cab file to your computer, and copy it to your Device or Storage Card. Remember where you place the cab file because you will need to open it from you Phone using File Explorer. Now navigate to the file and click on it. It will automatically start to install, usually it will ask you to install to the Device or Storage Card, but this CAB will just install to the Device.

when I do this I get a message 'there is no application associated with..' run the application first, I can't get the tomtom application off my CD? sorry for being such a pain. Thanks for you're help.

Check your GPS speed in TomTom.
Go > Change Preferences > Show GPS Status > Configure > Oter NMEA GPS receiver > GPS baud rate > COM4
The GPS baud rate should be between 4800 and 9600, if its too fast mine exhibits the jerkiness as described in your post.

Kinda confused now. What do you mean you cant get the application off your cd? If you have downloaded the cab then you dont need the CD. After moving the cab to your phone go open it, by using your phones file explorer program(single click or double click) should automatically install itself. have you made it to that point?
This is also a great resource to TomTom 6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330235

I downloaded the cab files from you're signature and then had a list of files which weren't associated with any program (they had the generic icon next to them) I then put all these files on my micro SD and put in my phone. I then went to these files on my phone using file explorer and there was still a list of generic icons. Maybe I did something wrong in the download. I downloaded with winRAR and extracted all the files to a folder on my desktop. I really appreciate you helping me, thank you.

No these files dont get extracted before moving to your phone. When downloaded the file should be a blue file folder icon called a .CAB. Once downloaded take that exact file and move it to your phone. Here is the link to the cab http://www.4shared.com/file/47123724/832a2d34/Working_TomTom.html

DotFreds

Hey guys, I am using Dutty's WM 6.1 19209 rom
What my problem is, i want to change the task manager that comes with this rom to the newer version so i can get my video to start recording. I dont know how to uninstall it and replace it because there is an icon in the programs folder.
I read somewhere that all i need to do is replace it and it will work but idk how to replace them in that folder.

So, you don't know how to uninstall it because there is an icon in programs. Interesting. I often get confused about uninstalling things because it's installed. Hmmm.. How about, this probley won't work but it could.
Start
settings
system
remove programs.
If it's there then you need to uninstall via the uninstall.
If not just install the new app, if it's a newer version of the same app it should uninstall automatically.
If this isn't what you ment then I suggest you write your problem out a bit better.

yeah its not there
the newer version wont work when i copy it since the old one is still here.
can i just remove it from the registry?

um is this a cab file or something?

yeah, got it from his website

You should request this in the tread of rom, bigger chance one of the people who is using it or helping out on support there sees it. If not wait couple of days and perhaps bumping it. I say this because if everyone making a new tread like this its going to be impossible to read this forum in the end.
Good luck mate

So you can't copy the cab file to an MicroSD ? Thats amazing.

omfg wow
you would think iv tried that by now.

to me, the reads as you tried to copy it to the phone but it no workie.... I am shocked that the phone won't allow the file to be copied.
Copy and Install are 2 dif things.

I just want to know how to uninstall the one that came with the rom.
copying the new crap isnt the issue.

you cant uninstall it cause its cooked into the rom, use total commander and then you can copy it over

[APPMOD][30.05.10] Facebook with working Sync

Okay I was bored and after hearing about the facebook app only allowing specific devices to use sync I came up with this.
I basically just used apktool by Brut.all to change a few strings, simples!
You will need to have an Eclair ROM, uninstall facebook if you already have it then just install this like normal and sign in with facebook or add it in accounts to sync.
You can get it here, here or here.
Now go play with your phones and be happy
I must have missed this before but apparently you can achieve the same thing by editing your build.prop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6399791&postcount=3183.
Just a little note but not really relevant, this mod won't work with the sapphire.
UPDATE:
bugmenever said:
Inspired by your edits here, I'm trying to do get FB Sync working with the Samsung Moment. Rather than changing the product names as you did, I just changed the entire getAllowedPackages so it always returns FULL_ALLOWED_PACKAGES. However, it appears to only sync phone numbers and emails. I don't own a G1 so I can't test your version, does your version properly sync profile images and statuses?

I've taken bugmenever's method and it does seem to work. The difference with this one is that instead of replacing some strings which removed support for sapphire so it could work with the dream, is this always returns FULL_ALLOWED_PACKAGES which should in theory let it work with anything capable of running eclair. I only have a dream so I can't test it on anything else but if anyone else could test it that would be great.
Here is the link http://www.4shared.com/file/kdb7ZvEy/_2__signed-facebook.html

No feedback ?
Is it working? Anyone having any problem? Maby a thanks ?

Well I think this should be posted in the app section, for one....
But yes it works, although you have to open the app after setting up the sync for the sync to actually work.

Thanks for the reply, I was in two minds weather or not this was the right section for it and I choose this one as it's a mod as-well as assuming people would look for something like this here. But if it doesn't belong here then feel free to move it .

Thanks, good work.

thanks i was missing this

Your welcome guys, and thanks to who ever moved it to the apps section

If you have facebook installed from the market you need to uninstall that first, if it doesn't work after that then try installing with adb.

ADB said failure to install app

i wasn't able to install through astro or terminal.

First check the MD5
Code:
d76da20c1c5a49152bf309630b6841f3
to see if your download is corrupt, if that's not it then post the output of logcat and what ROM you are using as it won't work with some ROMs(zachattack052 & xillius200's HERO).

Couldn't get it to work on Cyanogen's latest Donut either. Same error as others, saying "Application could not be installed." I had previously uninstalled the Market Facebook app so don't know what the problem could be. Thanks for trying, though!

This is only meant for Eclair ROMs to provide account synchronisation, if your on Donut then you may aswell use Facebook from the market

Thanks so much. This works great

Tried this on CM5 (test5), md5sum produced the same md5 hash, and I get "Application not installed" as well.
Not sure what the issue is. What did you change in the apk to allow it to work on the Dream/G1s? Perhaps a specific radio or firmware setting is interfering.

yes please Im using cm test 5 and I get the same error. I would love to use this

Use Firerat's fb patch instead on the Market 1.2, it works much better: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679572

It's basically the same as Firerat's method but instead of changing the build.prop I changed the strings in the app. Other than that it's the same as the one on the market. Not sure why it wont work for you though, I've tried it after installing other ROMs and it always works.
