Need TomTom 6 on the AT&T Tilt - Read Here

Not trying to start 1000 threads related to TomTom on the phone, but there seems to be a reoccurring issue with people wanting to get TomTom working on their AT&T Tilt. A lot of people, including myself earlier today, were running into issues with most of the posted files working on the AT&T Tilt. We'd get the message about the ROM being needed to be upgraded. Well buried deep in one of the TomTom threads there was a post by d12ag0n49 pointing to http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JZI2MQES (rar archive with password elrincondedey) that seems to solve the problem for AT&T Tilt users.
I have also uploaded just the cab file onto rapidshare without a password at:
http://rapidshare.com/files/62623762/ttn_6_032_8351_HTCNLD.cab.html
This version appears to work just fine on the AT&T tilt. It does not come with any maps and does link to getting the one free map online (although link never loaded for me). Just simple add the cab file onto your Tilt and install away. You'll have a single voice to choose from without getting additional voices.
Hope this helps.

i hear you... but man niether one wants to work for me. i guess im sh** out of luck.
but a question. you say just put the cab file in the tilt.
now in laymans terms i need more! assuming i have not installed anything related to tt where would i install this cab file?

Using ActiveSync you need to copy over the .cab file onto your phone (or maybe you can just save it through your browser on the phone). Once you have got it on the phone, you need to use File Explorer to navigate to the directory you saved it in. Find it and run it and it should install after that. What problem are you getting?

This TomTom .cab installed fine, and now I'm configuring it. I haven't finished, but just wanted to pause and thank you for the Female Eva voice from the NETHERLANDS! Like I understand that!

LOL yea might be a bit difficult, but at least you can see what's going on, right? If someone wants to post up detailed instruction on changing the voices/languages please do!

lol geez i think im going to give up
ok via sync i have "explore" which opens the phone.
1 i have copied the whole file and tried also just the contents...no luck you click on files nothing
2 i have copied the file and tried also just the contents into "my mobile phone"...no luck you click on files nothing
its as if after i copy them into the phone the are useless
the closest i have came is with one of the downloads it came as a install wizard which would extract it. but the phone says i need to update rom.

lets say I have a bunch of maps. how do I installthem so tom tom can see them?

lets say you share those maps...ahaha jk
this is where i need to be. try installing that ver (above links) of tt and then i believe you can use tt home or manually install your self in the proper directory.
i just cant get tt itself to install AAARRRGGG
good luck

you're disconnecting your phone from activesync, then using file explorer on your phone to "click" on the cabs you copied over, right?

If you click on a .cab file in file explorer on your phone, it shouldn't "open" (as in let you see the various files within the .cab), it should simply start installing. Not sure what's going on with you.
For those looking for voices, just google free tomtom voices, there are multiple places to find them (and there are some available directly from TomTom). Once you find the ones you want, you just copy those files directly into the "voices" folder that TomTom created. For me, it's in the root of my storage card. For maps, it created a "My documents" folder on my storage card, and the maps are stored in there. Once you get the maps and voices saved in the locations it expects them to be, you just switch to that voice and map in "preferences" within TomTom.

Hate to gloat, but I got TomTom6 working on my Tilt and it works great. Forget the english voices, go for the Darth Vader one!
A quick google search for "tomtom voices" yields a ton of sites.

How to not show all folders in Album view!?

I have allot of program folders with grafix in them on my phone, and I don't want to scroll thrue all of them when I'm using Camera -> Album...
I know how to add folders to the Ignored list in registry...
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored\
but I cant get it to work with folders in the 'Storage card'...
Anyone that can help me?
'I just want to say BIG thanx to everybody in this forum!! Without you I would be completely lost!'

I have the same problem. Plus, I would like to open a picture in HTC album from file explorer, but it always just opens the default album, not the picture I want to open.
Any help is appreciated!
Yeah, I would be lost without the forum as well!

Hi Laser 21,
Did you ever find a solution to this problem?
Thanks,

Can block all folders except in Internal Storage..

Hello,
the only solution I'm aware of is to set the 'hidden' attribute on the folders which should not be visible in the HTC-Album.

In my experience each individual image has to have the hidden attribute set, rather than the folders.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424784

Hello Dave,
yes, you're right.
I used "Total Commander/CE", and tried to set the hidden-attribute on a folder called "Musik", and selected "Recurse subdirs". Then I checked some subfolders an saw that the folders were not marked "hidden" (that does work with "Total Commander 32" on my PCs). But after a reboot, HTC-Album didn't list any of the subfolders inside the "Musik"-folder. So I thought it was enough to mark the top-folder hidden to hide all subfolders, too.
I just checked the folder again and saw that Total-Commander/CE had marked all files 'hidden'.
So it's not as easy as I thought.

It's easy enough from a desktop computer in USB disk drive mode.
I don't generally use HTC Album but this is a fix I have to do with my music album art in order to keep the program actually usable. It's a really flawed bit of software IMO.

Problem with start menu programs link - please help

When I click Programs on my start menu, the device just returns to the TouchFlo home screen. The settings link works fine.
Any idea what has gone wrong and how to fix it?

Programs menu...
Has the 'Programs' shortcut menu ever worked?
If so, it sounds like the folder may have been deleted or moved. Use a file explorer application and browse to 'Windows\Start Menu' - does this folder contain a 'Programs' folder?

It used to work fine and yes, Windows\Start Menu container a Programs folder.
When I double-tap it to open it in Total Commander, it opens in Total Commander absolutely fine and all my shortcuts are in there as expected.
One thing I notice though it may mean nothing is that unlike my Games sub-folder it has no icon.lnk file. As I say, that could mean nothing!
It appears that Programs in the start menu is a kind of default thing in Windows mobile, is there a reg setting that may have got screwed?
Thanks for the help. Anything else to suggest?

Rename the troublesome Programs folder in start menu to something else like Programs2. Next make a new folder and cut and paste all the shortcuts in the Programs2 folder into the new folder. Finally delete the original Programs2 folder. So you have made a new Programs folder. Let me know if that works.

Thanks for the idea. I have tried that but get exactly the same result.
One discovery I made is that if I disable the enlarged start menu, the Programs link works fine!
Anyway, if there are no more ideas from anyone, I fear a hard reset could be in order.
Thanks

Ahh shucks! Sorry it didn't work. I suggested it because I had the sae problem. I made a new folder in Start Menu called Phone and it stopped opening after a while. I did the trick above and it works fine now.
See I have unchecked favourite apps from showing in start menu by unchecking them in the Menu option in Settings. Instead, I created folders in the Start Menu folder, such as Internet, Media, Travel, Office, Games, System, Audio etc and copied the relevant shortcuts from progam folder to the new folders. So when I hit start menu from my home page, I get a drop down list of folders only. Much better in my opinion.

Interesting way of organising your Start Menu.
However, I would probably forget in which folders I put the apps! I quite like the Programs list - it does exactly what I want - so thats why I will just stick with that. I was actually wondering if there was a way of making that Programs folder look better - for instance removing the scrollbars or something. Just a nicer looking program launcher really, but as I say, I like the way it works for me.
Anyway, thanks very much for the help. The programs link is a special link of some sort I reckon, hence your fix didnt work. I think I will upgrade my ROM and do a hard reset!

opera/WAND password management

i've searched but cant seem to find the answer. fyi, stock ROM, very few add-ins (ultimatelaunch, weatherpanel, spb phone suite), always use opera for web access.
one of my favorites requires a login/PW. the site itself doesnt have a "remember me" box, but i checked "for the entire server" when it originally asked me "do you want WAND (the password manager) to save the password?" etc. worked flawlessly until i changed that password (while within the particular site). so how do i now change the PW within WAND?? it seems once WAND has asked to save a password, it never asks again, even if the PW has changed. it simply enters the old PW which obviously doesnt work anymore.
i've tried to clear them by hitting the trash can in settings/privacy/password management, but when i go back in, theyre mysteriously still there!
the only way around this i've found is to go into the opera subfolders, find the WAND file and delete. then just recreate a new one by simply visiting sites again. but this is annoying if you have a lot of sites that require PW's or if you change your PW often.
help anyone?
thanks!

which file is the WAND file? I've tried removing a ton of files, but I'm not deleting the correct one.
Thanks.

the one i deleted was in windows\opera9\secure. seemed to do the trick...

[Q] Connecting phone to PC, treat as proper storage drive.

This one has puzzled me for quite some time.
When connecting my One or most android phones to my PC, it will appear as a drive but it NEVER works like an SD card or USB stick would.
Here is a list of things which really frustrate me about this:
You can't drag'n'drop from iTunes (or another audio programme) or WinRar to the drive, it won't have none of it. Instead you have to copy/extract the file to another location, say desktop and then move it to your desired folder on the phone.
Creating a folder on the phone using Windows causes issues. I create a new folder, it asks for a name, I name it and hit enter and then it freezes. For about 2/3 minutes it does nothing and then bam, new folder.
You can't create folder shortcuts. Example, I have podcasts I place in the same directory on the phone, instead of allowing me to create a shortcut or link to the folder, I have to navigate to the folder each time. It's a ball ache.
When you have a usb stick and you copy the address it will look like this, F:\HTC One\Internal storage\backups. When you connect an android phone it looks like this, This PC\HTC One\Internal storage\backups. Obviously pasting this address into a programme for it to use doesn't work as it doesn't recognise This PC.
Everytime I copy certain files to the phone, like m4a, Windows will ALWAYS ask if I want to convert it first. No thanks, leave it. But it asks everytime. If it treated it like a proper drive, this wouldn't happen.
I guess it is treating the phone as a camera or something, but really? It's really irritates me when the limitations on this crop up and leave me furious.
So finally, the question, is there any way which I can do the following:
Every time I connect my phone it will treat it like a proper drive, so I can drag and drop from iTunes etc and create shortcuts which remain when the device is removed and re-inserted.
If it can't ever happen, can someone explain to me why not?
Sorry for the wall of text, been on my mind for a while and annoying me for much longer.

Guess I am the only one with this issue then.

Unfortunately you can't mount it as a drive, it can only be accessed via MTP protocol; so you need to think of it as camera/mp3 player/etc.
But about these questions:

I don't know about iTunes, but Windows Media Player recognizes MTP (and therefore the phone), and you can sync music, pictures, and videos... I would assume iTunes should recognize MTP devices too.

Any program that doesn't know about MTP has that problem, no workaround

Happens to me too, but since I don't copy much stuff to the phone, I don't care. But I'm sure there's some kind of setting (probably in the windows registry) to disable that. Try searching a bit, maybe you'll find it.
