Please help a new Kaiser owner, Mac-based

Hello all. Just got my phone on Orange and I like it. I have been a Mac-user for the past 12 years so I am used to not tweaking my gadgets. Can someone explain how I install the CABs onto my Kaiser via either my G5 iMac or my intel Macbook. Many thanks

do'h not very sure, but you might want to try the missing sync, grab the latest version, it now supports win5 and 6. basically that's what you need to synch your mac and PDA, but not very sure if you can install 'em through it though

Now how do I find the installed CAB
OK I have downloaded a CAB onto the Kaiser via Missing Sync. (HTC album mui 0419.cab) So how do I now find it on the phone and activate it or any other CAB?
Thanks again

not that hard
I get that you're new, I am too, but try to figure this stuff out by yourself.
Bluetooth should work for getting files onto the phone (my docs/bluetooth)
When you sync to the phone, the PC version is that you see the phone on the schema/folder tree and can choose where to put it.
When you find the cab file, opening it will install it. Generally try to put system specific things on main memory and things like games on a storage card.
Look at some must have threads to find programs that you like and after you figure it out try a hard reset and reinstall things. That will let you keep a stable device.
As for ROMS, I would be careful of even thinking about flashing on a mac unless you find a thread telling you how to do it, you don't want a bricked device.
Remember to search the forums - it's worth your time.

Just mount the kaiser with missing sync. After that, drag and drop the file to a location that you can remember. Once you do that, just go to the file explorer in the kaiser, locate the file, and click. You should be all set.

what about a non-cab files? with an .exe extension, will it be installable trough missing sync?

from what I can remember, Missing Sync is really broken at the moment. (under 10.5).
To install a cab, you just use the tab next to syncronize, what is it, the file tab or somehing?
if it's a .cab, it will be loaded automatically. But make sure there's no spaces/irregular characters on the .cab, otherwise, it won't load the installation, and possibly, the file will not be uploaded at all. I think this is a missing sync bug.

Nope, you're going to have to pull the .CAB out of the .EXE file

TomTom - Really cluttered SD card, what do I REALLY need?

Sorry if this has already been answered, I searched and didn't find anything, even on the TomTom FAQ thread.
My question is, I have TomTom installed and working great, but I have a bunch of files on my SD card now. What folders do I need? Do I just need the Vioces and Maps? If I need them all is there a way to relocate them all into a folder and point TomTom to them?
I have on my SD card...

Browse the SD card through PC, then on the files you don't want, right click, properties, then tick the the hidden button then ok, that should hide them

It doesn't look like it will let me do this through Activesync... I can;t get attributes for folders, only files - and even with files I can't change them. I suppose I need an SD card reader?

I hid my using active sync, not sure why it's not working for you, perhaps someone might know why.
Using a card reader should definitely work though.

When I right click on a folder via Activesync, all I get is a box with a 'General' tab. It shows the folder name, type and location. I also tried to use Total Commander to change the attributes, but no joy. I can click it to hidden but it doesn't save. Thanks for you help with this!

Once the phone syncs with active sync, I browse the sd card via my computer, phone, then sd card

How did you install TomTom ? Did it come on your SD-Card
or did you install it from DVD ?
Mine has only one or two of the folders you name on SD-Card. A few of them exist on the device ?
2577 is used by autorun iirc, you might be able to rename it

He downloaded a pirated copy!

You could just make a back-up then keep deleting until TomTom starts complaining
I had exactly this problem and found that I only needed:
/<my map folder>/
/Voices/
/Zip/
/ttnavigator.bif
Which I guess in your case would be:
/USA and Canada 675_1409/
/Voices/
/Zip/
/ttnavigator.bif
Don't take my word for it ;D but TomTom seems to be working in its entirety with everything else removed.

Yeah that seems to be what I am going to do. Irritating though, as it takes forever to transfer things to the SD card via Activesync - although I suppose if I don't have to transfer the maps thats no big deal. I am going to give this a shot. And as posted earlier, 2257 seems to be for installation only, so that will be the first to go.
Thanks for you help friends!

He may or may not have downloaded a pirate copy. I installed mine from the original CD which came with the phone and maps bought from TomTom. I couldn't install main program to SD card. My SD card folder list is as follows:
Eastern Europe - (Maps)
Schemes - (Colour schemes for maps - not sure if these are necessary)
Voices - (As it says, can work without these)
Western Europe - (Maps)
Zip - (Post codes, can work without these)
I don't know where all the other folders came from or if mine are installed in the internal memory.

I kept these folders in the root of my SD...
USA and Canada (maps, of course)
Voices
Zip (doesn't seem relevant, as mentioned above)
ttnavigator (file, just sits in root)
And TomTom has not complained. This is much better, and saves room on my card.
Again, thanks for your help!

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

Hey it worked, you're a dead set legend, thanks a lot mate

Tomtom won't install

Trying to install Tomtom.. After transferring all the files and trying to click "Start" it won't do anything.. all the files are on the SD card.. Anyone help?

ok, so you are saying it installed correctly right? there were no errors after installation? did you try installing to your DEVICE not SD and seeing if it works?

it didnt install at all.. the whole folder is in the Storage card.. and it says to run the "Start" app to install.. clicked it.. and won't do anything..

Go to the root of the card, double click on start.exe, if it runs, create a short. Or find tomtom cab file and install it.

are you sure you have a working TomTom file. There are 2 in my signature try TomTom WWE first.

if the folder is empty then yea. i know when i downloaded my map it saved the cab file, try to save that in a spot where you won't delete it (its easier to just reinstall from the cab then find the site to redownload)
The internal GPS in the phone is COM:4 And if you don't have GPStest yet i would recommend getting it, by changing your baud rate you may get a quicker fix, and sometimes TomTom has trouble with getting a GPS signal and running GPStest first will jumpstart your GPS and TomTom will get a fix instantly.

thanks for your support. I have basically done the same, but no success: Here is what I went through so forth:
started here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231208&highlight=data.gro
- download gives you an app, but there is no skin.
- an actual skin that the app expects has broken link
- there is a link to dnload an older version of the skin...which does not work. it ends up at "starting".
- there is an alternative skin - does not work either, wrong resolution - but you can google further...so:
-been here: http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=709&t=200218 the same skin, but good resolution...unfortunately only welcome screen turnes on and that is pretty much it
could you please link here the actual mariupols skin that IS working on droid3?

does not work for me (on XT860) although it should - your link refers to an archive I already tried out....
So lets go through all the steps again:
1. Manage applications - uninstall iGo
2. Copy the content of the archive
3. copy luboszs iGo.apk someplace
4. run it.
I have done all of it, but still stuck up - what am I doing wrong?

Your igo files are on the external sdcard or on the internal storage ?
I choose the latter option, because the non standard mount point name of the sdcard.
So, if you have the files on the SD either copy them to the internal storage or add the sdcard-ext path to the configuration file, before the apk installation. (this one is untested by me but should work)

I did already have iGo files on the internal storage (i.e. /sdcard).
Maybe luboszs Thin 1.7 iGo does not like some of files I got there from the previous install - despite the fact I have overvritten them (is it normal behavior for Root Explorer not to ask to overwrite?)....just in case - would it be possible for somebody to post the whole functional package (w/o maps,of course)?
