L26 Kaiser Diamond Version 3 !!! (Core 19588) is working just by disabling the HTC home plugin.
New method for a workaround Originally Posted by flushbeer

disadvantage is, that igo starts every softreset.
advantage is i don't have to disable htc home every time i reset. and it works after EVERY softreset (planned or unplanned)

Dutty's Official WM6.1 5.2.19585 Public Beta test Release reported working just by disabling the HTC home pln.
[May 22]
NavNGo iGO8 v.8.0.0.35389 Apr. 15 2008 also works fine with Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700. This version seems to tolerate better the phone calls and not loosing GPS after minimalisation.
L26_Kaiser_Diamond_Version_1 is reported working just by disabling the HTC home plugin.
[May 20]
i use igo8 final 8.0.0.31442 with Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700
it work mostly fine, i have some problems that after some phone call the gps driver is lost in igo8. but if you exit igo8 and restart
it works fine and has a 3 second GPS lock. After calls wiat 3-5 seconds to let igo get back to command.
if you have the startup problem with a ROM other than this, please try to disable parts of the HTC home plugin.
there is only 3 items which causes the problem: Weather, Music, Profile
to turn them off go to Startmenu\Settings\Personal\Today\
Go to the third panel: HTC Home and uncheck Weather, Music, Profile
turn them off and make a soft reset
if you have the startup problem as time passes after soft reset there is a chance that igo dont start up again
you can try to turn off aGPS also in advanced config but most ROMs come with this option off
if you have sys.txt problems try to have both sys.txt to be in good shape
sys.txt locations are in importance order:
\Program Files\iGO8\sys.txt
\Storage Card\iGo8\sys.txt
List of sys.txt variables:
in post #49 -50 on page 5
for kml extension POIs form www.poiplaza.com put them in the following folder:
\Storage Card\iGo8\content\userdata\poi\
first i had problems to list this POIs correctly but it started to work, perhaps a soft reset needed?
for phone icon to be active in POI info menus use the folowing variables in sys.txt:
[interface]
poi_show_all_btn=1
[phone]
driver="TAPI"
for touch flow addicts try the following settings
[map]
inertia_on_map_move=1
please inform me about new tweaks for kaiser and i'll try to keep up to date this thread...

Yes. I can confirm this also makes the MioMap v3.3 run!

Just an FYI...if you upgrade to the ROM Dutty released this morning then Igo will run with no problems...you don't have to disable anything...

After updating to Dutty's new official WM6.1 5.2.19716 UC ROM the MioMap v.3.3 works (with all HTC plugins selected)!

Unfortunatelly, I can confirm that iGo 8 Demo and iGo2006 do NOT work with latest Dutty's 6.1 ROM. Sometimes they launch, but most of the time I have to disable HTC Home and SR to make them launch.
I will try disable weather plugin and see if that helps (I don't use music and profile plugins). Could it be that it's the weather plugin specifically that does this?

Which version do you mean when you write the latest?
Cos igo should work with both of the hybrid versions.
At least with the first one (I think it was Apr. 1.) I never had a problem with igo
(Maybe you wanna try this rom?)
What I noticed with other roms: if I disabled things in HTC home, I had to start igo, minimize it, go through all the tabs that caused problems and after that I closed igo. If i didn't do that, igo would not start after pressing the problematic tabs.

Actually, its the 'Music' plugin specifically that may need to be disabled (for some). IGo8 Final works otherwise for me w/ Dutty's Apr 29 ROM...

Nav.N.Go.iGO.PDA.v8.0.0.31442.Final
in combination with latest DUTTY rom work excellent here.
installed whole europe (total size was 2gb) with the poi's and such...works 100% so far and i dont encounter the same problems you did.

I'm using April 29 Dutty's 6.1 ROM - and both iGo versions do not work with it. Sometimes i can get it to work right after SR, even with HTC Home enabled, but if I close iGo, I won't be able to launch it again until HTC Home is disabled and I SR.

Possibly one of two things:
1) The IGo8 Demo version doesn't work.
or
2) There's something else on the PDA that's conflicting w/ it..

1 - I've used both versions (2006 and 8) many, many times on WM6 without any problems, so it must be WM6.1
Besides, many people are having same problems with WM6.1 HTC Home and iGo, it must be something that HTC Home does with WM6.1 that causes this.

Possibly, but then KeesKaas and I are both using it with HTC Home enabled without any issues.. Maybe you could try and reflash Dutty's Apr 29 ROM and try it..

assisted gps
disabling assisted gps might also be a solution to starting igo8.
I use duttys news rom also. and had problems starting igo8 . so i reflashed the rom, and now igo8 was running smooth. Then I started configuring the kaiser, and noticed that after enabling assisted GPS (through advanced config), Igo8 wouldn't start again. I now disabled assisted gps, and igo8 is running good again. I have done nothing to the htc home, weather, music settings.

to disable a-gps you can use kaiertweak
as solution for your timezone problem add this to your sys.txt:
[timezone]
sync_os_timezone=0
reset_os_timezone=0

You can only flash a rom on which igo works (wm6, 19716, or dutty hybrid)

Hmmm, so I must reflash to Dutty's Hybrid? Now I have NoThrills V3. Is Dutty's Hybrid better?

it's not a must... but you can if you want ;-)
for me there is not much difference between these two roms (but i don't use many applications), so i decided to use the one where igo runs.

New HTC 6.1 ROM + IGO 8 = BIG ISSUE !!!

Hello again, another problem with the official HTC 6.1 Rom update ... IGO 8 does not work anymore ... I re-installed the whole software but the problem is the same : when I launch IGO 8, nothing happens ...
Does anyone else had this problem ?

i had this before with previous wm6.1 roms. you need to use kaisertweak to disable assisted gps.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370884

Thanks a lot for your answers ...
I had to disable A-GPS and the "HTC Home" on the today screen.
But it only works if after having disabled the "HTC Home" I soft reset my device.
That means I will not use IGO 8 anymore, and this is a big issue for me because that was my favorite GPS application.

use Ultimate Launcher...and activate HTC Home in the today plugin of UL...
Works fine...

Thanks for your answer. I will try it but I don't really like this kind of applications. I tried one of these "cube" applications, and I noticed that it was slowing down some other applications using the touch screen like "pencil box" for exemple.

OK, I tried : Ultimate Launcher does not affect the performances of the other applications, very good point.
IGO 8 works fine. But when I try to display the HTC HOME inside UL, IGO 8 does not work anymore ... So your solution does not work for me.

bizarre bizarre...
perhaps you have taskmanager bigbuttons installed?
perhaps you have sync kaiser and launch igo just after? try to perform softrestet before launch igo

I tried all of that, but still unsuccessfully ...

Try disabling the HTC Home music tab. That worked for me.

I had the same problem. Here are the fixes, choose which one suits you best (no need to use them all):
Disable HTC Home. Sometimes it's enoughto disable only some of its plugins (weather, music etc.). I like HTC home, though. This works, but i prefer other solutions.
Put a shortcut to iGo8 in your /Windows/StartUp folder. Pro: After you reset once - yuou can work with iGo8, close it, restart it etc. - no probs at all. Con: Every time you reset, iGo8 starts (so you lose a few seconds in life). This is what I use, and it works gr8.
Just heard that the June 2008 version of iGo8 works well with WM6.1 and HTC Home. My version is older. Didn't try this one yet.
Good luck!

latest patch of igo8 (24 june) version fixes the problem with htc 6.1 / home editions...

But i have 6.1 and TF2D Manila installed and iGO 8.3.2.xxxx and it works fine.
How come?

IGO 8 or IGO2006 doesn't work on WM6.1 Rom

Hi My friends,
I need help. I changed my rom yesterday official at&t 6.1 Rom and today I changed with HyperDragon III OMNIA WM6.1 WWE ROM Full Version.
I tried to install IGO 8 and IGO2006 on both Roms but it doens't respond.
Any problem on IGO with WM6.1 Roms?
Please help me to fix.

It is running but no positioning
Now I have fixed the problem, I installed Dutty's rom.
Program is running. But now it is not positioning... The weather is a little cloudy, any problem with weather?
Please help me

Igo versions before June 2008 dont work with WM6.1
Duttys Rom is based on WM6.0 thats why iGo8 works on there.
Any iGo v8.0.0.44898 or later will work fine on any New WM6.1 based Rom.
Hope this helped.

Is it getting as far as the menu screen and then freezing? The first time u run it it goes through your contacts list and checks for postcodes to add to its database so give it a few minutes because if u have alot of contacts it will take a while to compile everything. Im running the same configuration and everything is working fine.

Today I have just tried. It is working.
I tried many GPS programs, I think VisualGPSce is very fast for locking. Just for 8-10 sec for locking. GPSgate hasn't locked.
Thanks...

I've got wm6.1 and iGo from jan/febr was working ok,
now i tried to run it after half year and just window's pending symbol appears for half sec and nothing.
Tried to DL new iGo, new install. still not working.
no ROM change/no hard reset meantime.
but gave it up quickly, i don't need it now. just was curious.

here is a solution I found on the net ...
1. Turn off the HTC Home on the Today screen and change Appearance from HTC to WM6.1 (or default)
2. Softreset.

Also turn off AssistedGPS (AGPS) using KaiserTweak. I tried that & it worked for me (& on my wife's Tilt).

I have also found that Microsoft Voice Command can intefere with iGo8 it took me ages to figure that out in the end i had to turn off all the options apart from the phone settings which are the only ones i used anyway and that fixed it.

Thats really wierd I have a kaiser with manila2D running with all my other crap installed and igo8 works perfect for me. Just the wait the first time it ran to gather contact info but then no problems at all. Im running 8.0.0.49545 (july 30 3008) with tts voices and the ultra skin v5
Try disabling MSVC if you have it and see if that makes a difference.

I have had the same problem. I ended up getting the Sept 1 update of Igo8 on it works perfect on mine using hyperdragonIII and NATF v3. Im sure you can find it.

Igo V8 - Manilla issue?

I've tried searching with no effect.
I've got IgoV8 installed on my phone, running the latest Hyperdragon rom.
If I have manilla disabled then Igo will run no problem, Enable manilla and it won't load. No errors, nothing.
Tomtom works fine. Anyone got any ideas?

You probably not using the latest version of the IGO8, I'm using 8.0.0.44366 and it runs smoothly on all the latest releases of HDIII as well as on some others (see in my sig below) I now that previous vers of the IGO8 had compatibility problems.

Cheers, just checked my device and i'm running 8.0.0.31442.
Will try an update.

I have a lot of problems running iGO when I have been running without a reset for a few days or I have multiple programs running..
iGO seems to demand a lot of ram to startup.. Not sure if it's some free/largest chunk type of check or if it truly attempts to load and it bombs out. I see the spiny busy cursor for a second or two then nothing else.. No messages from iGO.
I've pretty much given up on using it anymore.. Even when I do get it running by exiting most everything or doing a reset it seems like it only runs at most 20-25 minutes before it crashes.
BTW, I don't run Manilla or such, but I do run SPB Pocket Plus with Phone Alarm, SPB Weather, KaiserNotify, and Flexmail as my typical load.. And when I'm on the road, I typically also run TrackMe. This gives me about 30-35m of ram free typically, and when iGO is running it 'only' takes about 8m but it could need a lot more to startup, not sure.

Do you run HTC home? I had such problems when i have used Dutty's roms (not manilla), the conflict between Igo8 and htc home is a well known issue and you can find many posts on that.

I can get Igo8 to run correctly with Manilla2D (8.0.0.41506) so an upgrade should do the trick for you. this version seems to have a lot of problems if you minimize or exit the program. I think you are right with the ram, because occasionally Manilla2D will be closed when igo exits. I'm left with a screen that says "Click here to start touchflow2d" or something similar.
but a lot of times I just want to minimize IGo. and it is impossible to get it back if the running programs taskbar is hidden by manilla2d. running the program again opens a new instance, and causes all sorts of problems.
It wouldn't be so bad if Igo8 appeared in the task manager as a running program, but sadly it does not. I'm using the Opal task manager that is compatible with Manilla2D (XDA-Team TaskManager_2_1_34563_3.cab). Anyone know how to make Igo8 appear correctly as a running app in that task manager or any other solution to this issue?

All sorted, upgraded to 8.3.

Can you please sent link where can it be downloaded

IGO 8 not working on newly flashed ROM

OK, I think I've exhausted my search for answers and came up empty, so I'll make my first post.
I recently flashed a new ROM to my AT&T Tilt. I was running Dutty's 6.1 and just flashed the PC Ultimate V17 with WM6.5. My radio is 1.65.24.36 in case anyone was wondering. Anyway, everything runs fine on my phone, except one thing. When I reinstall my IGO 8 after the flash, there is a problem. When I select the program from the program list after installation, the wait circle flashes for a second and nothing happens. The app never runs. I have done everything the same as when I flashed Dutty's. It worked great on Dutty's, but not the PC Ultimate I flashed the other day. If anyone knows how to make it work, please let me know. Thanks for the help.

Sorry if you have already done this, but did you disable A-GPS?

The Assisted GPS is disabled (by default but I made sure anyway). I wouldn't know if the GPS was working on it anyway since the entire program does not run once it is selected. It acts like it starts then nothing. I don't want to go back to another ROM since I like this one, but I want my GPS to work as a stand alone and not use any data connections. I'm in Turkey and data sucks up my kontours (prepaid units), so I try not to use it.

Have you tried things like GPSTest, or any *other* GPS software to make sure the GPS is working at all?

I saw the same thing happen on an HTC Touch Pro (Raphael). It was resolved with some changes to the sys.txt file in the iGofolder.
Maybe check with iGO's forums to see if they can help?

If you have HTC Home running you will have to uncheck it from the today screen, soft reset, and then run igo8.

Well, I verified my GPS is working and it's picking up sats just fine with Google maps. With the Ultimate PDA Rom, there is no HTC Home, so I can't de-select it. It only has the Diamond and Windows Default. I was looking online and there was mention of having to edit the sys.txt file. Hell, there are only 2 entries in my sys.txt file, so I don't know what it would be changed to. I'm going to flash the updated rom this weekend and see what happens, but if anyone knows what else to do, please let me know. Thanks.

I'm having the same problem with my ROM (see sig). No HTC home.
Not GPS-related, as the app won't even start loading/show a splash screen. I got it to run a couple of times straight after a soft reset, but as soon as I've done something on the phone it won't load anymore.

Try the following sys.txt (just copy and paste into notepad and rename sys.txt):
[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"
[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1
defaulttilt3d=7600 ;was 75000
[timezone]
sync_os_timezone=0
reset_os_timezone=0
[phone]
driver=TAPI
exe_path=\Windows\cprog.exe
win_name=Phone
[map]
3d_max_tiltlevel=10000 ;was 7800
3d_max_zoomlevel=3000; was 2500
3d_min-zoomlevel=40
3d_max_zfar=2000 ;WAS 500

No luck for me. I of course replaced the sys.txt both in program files\igo8 and storage card\igo8, and even did a soft reset for the fun.

Same with me, no luck with that sys file. I put it in both folders as well. It ran once, then not again. When it did run the one time, it ran with 3d topographical maps and not the standard street maps. Now, it won't even start up to the splash screen.

Well... after about 6 months I decided to change my ROM, installed Garmin DK10 and IGO works perfectly well. I guess it must really be a ROM problem.
