Hello,
The Samsung Omnia 2 have the same problem with Tomtom Navigator 7 like the samsung omnia I900 you must use the a soft like Gpsgate or portsplitter.
But There is a new software of Tomtom Navigator "7.917" who are compatible With The Omnia I900.
Is anyone have it, can he Test it on our omnia 2 and post the result ?
Thanks in advance.
Don't have any problems with TomTom on a Omnia II
Just use [other GPS] with [4800 baud] on [COM7] and it works for me.
GpsModDrivers (from this forum) works as well
hi everyone,
i have an omnia2 and Tomtom for I900 ... i couldn't install the cab from that version so i had to find a modded cab version for installation and then upgraded to the latest again.
i installed the I900 version fine on a first gen omnia so the prob is not the file it self... it just woudn't let me gothrough the install process on the Omnia2.
and after testing multiple hacks found here and on modaco and french forums, i still can't get TT to run without gpsgates or portspliter or gpsModDrivers.
at the moment at least i test all the hacks on IL5 ; BII ( SFR ) , JA1 JA5 roms and no positive result . i know some managed on the same roms but must have made an extra mod
For greg330
Hello
For greg330 , what is your version of tomtom i900 is the :7.917 ?
@++
hello,
yes it is the 7.917 version bought in december 2009 and tried on the Omnia2 , as described, and finaly tested on the Omnia1 where it runs great.
some managed to run it alone, some couldn"t this on the same roms. there must be something to find that all make it work .
i must add , my version is an original but i had to find a 7.915 to install on the Omnia2 and then upgrade to the latest version as the soft given by tomtom would install fine ont the I900 it wouldn't install on the I8000.
maybe thats the diff, as soon as i find the direct install to the 7.917 i'll retry and leave a post. i'm iritated too by the extra soft i have to use ...
For GREG
Hello,
Greg330 can you check your PRIVATE MESSAGE please.

Hello, someone could say to download the 7917 for my tomtom omnia II? Gpsmodriver it works well with highway but in town gets a little stuck.
Thanks
b7620
I have tomtom 7_910.9185 running on my b7620. Fully functional and without any problems
Same here..7_910.9185 works great.
Don't use al those gps mod programs because it will drain your battery verry fast.
Only gpsmoddriver was good for me in the past but now there is a good sollution from tomtom..so update your tomtom and it will work.
you dont need assist software, just change hardware com port 9,software port to 4
Are you sure? I use TT Navigator 7.910.9192 and the satnav still DOESN'T get a fix without PortSplitter...
You don't need any prog like portsplitter, gpsgate etc.
This is what I have done, and it work's (at least for me):
Change these settings in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\Samsung GPS Hardware\InputBufferSize: set from 4096 to 512
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\Samsung GPS Hardware\OutputBufferSize: set from 4096 to 512
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\Samsung GPS Hardware\SleepOnNoData: set from 100 to 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Multiplexer\MaxBufferSize: set from 16384 to 1024
The rest is the same as the usual GPS and TomTom settings. I used com port 4 (and 9 for hardware), but you can probably use any other port that hasn't been assigned yet.
I used gpsgate earlier, but now, I don't have to :-D
The Cab
I've I give you the CAB...Can anyone try it please?
h t t p : / / w w w . u p l o a d 4 f r e e . i n f o / Q 6 O F H Y T G S 1 O D / t t n 7 . 9 1 7 . 9 1 8 6 _ v g a _ b l a c k _ c u c k o o _ 1 _ . c a b . h t m l

Wow I'm impressed, I own a B7610 with fresh official 6.5 and this trick is working very well, I never saw totom fixing and workiing alone so fast (of course it wasn't working before without proxy), and even better, it seems that Igo8 and Google Maps are working better, no more freezes, and lot more sats (first time i see 9 sats on gmaps) I use port 4 and 7. With 6.1 and uncomplete full internet access, it was ... a nightmare to me, horribly long fix, working sometimes...
Is there a way to get tomtom for free??? hehehe just wondering...
Have you tried typing in *#1472365# into their Omnia2?
It brings up some extra gps settings, some of which are similar to settings that can be reached in registry but some are unique.
The main one that was of interest to me was the start up mode of GPS.
Mine was set to cold start which meant that every time i started my tomtom it did so by deleting all previous data.
This meant i was on a cold start each and every time i used it which was why it took forever to lock sometimes.
I have now changed this setting to "hotstart" and my locks are instant.
There are various other settings that can be played with and tried out but this setting alone got rid of the only flaw i could find in the Omnia2.

Helmi BA WM2k5 AKU3.2 Beta (v.1.3.2 Beta)
In this second minor update currently progress is:
- Mamaich Paging Pool patch 16mb/32mb
- Modem link added to ROM with bt set at COM6.
- Audiogateway Registry Fix
- Wifi & Bluetooth Coexistentcy.
- Ability to save everywhere with Pocket Excel
- Smart Dial v2.2 is added to ROM. (if u dont use it just disable it)
- Flight Mode, Task Manager, WM5 New Menu, WM5 Storage, & USB Mode Switch added to extras folder.
- StartUp Manager by baniaczek
- Use ace_ddi as video driver (Landscape & Portrait fully supported but gif file wont show in PIE, use D3D_Driver driver to support gif with PIE but Landscape mode will need to re-align after soft reset)
- .NET Fix included
- Transcriber included.
In this beta, hv all the feature from v1.2 plus new OS built (AKU3.2 OS part taken from Lt.Cmdr.Ivan AKU3.2 for UNI with help by indra9110) and speed improvement and also new ROM base (5.04.06 taken from logout template since its newer version display).
Known issues:
1. There no internal integration beetween Comm Manager and Wifi, cos Different Driver beetween Wizard & BA (I've succesfully combine them in the past but forgot now how to do it again...and i still cant remember it...hell!!!..lol). I think I'll love someone who help on this.
2. When BT On, IR On, WIFI On, ActiveSync On, the tray might flick.
3. Some help file and Some Picture/images has been strip out from the ROM to create space for more usefull app.
Tips:
1. Disable Sound (Sound & Notification >> Events) might help system speed.
2. Disable Sound in phone (Phone Settings >> Keypad >> Off) might help phone speed.
3. Backup/Sync ur PIM with active sync first (Contact, email, etc) if u upgrade it from old rom (anything below AKU3.0 ROM) cos PIM management are different from the old rom ur old backup will not work, but ActiveSync will work Ok.
Please read the readme file, I dont hv time to update Wiki page, but I'll love if someone do the wiki page for me. btw I think the information in Readme file is enough to flash ur rom and since no 'real' extended rom so no further preparation is needed, but u might consider to make ur old Extended_ROM size to 128kb to make more storage space for ur device.

helmi
Many thanks helmi!!! ... can't wait to flash the new rom
Thanks our Gods(helmi_c & Mamaich)
hi all
Sorry if this is a bit of a dumb question but i read all of the time about not restoring a full backup when upgrading a rom but above it says restoring if lower than AKU3.0 will cause problems.
I have 1.3 installed and would love to upgrade to this latest beta but the thought of reinstalling everything again is putting me off.
Is it possible to be able to upgrade the rom and use a backup from my 1.3 machine (either from spb Backup or the built in backup)
thanks in advance
I have succesfully restored all my programs using the rom-upgrade tool by Sprite, which can be used with sprite backup 5. Please note that you should exclude your PIM databases, as they will be different. But you can of course always sync these back from outlook via activesync. This will always work.
Helmi-
Thanks for the great roms. I'm currently using 1.3 with an 8MB page file...No real need for me to change, since i just spent a long time yesterday doing the whole install/reinstall/customize thing.
What I would switch for, and you talked about it before, is a new version of the AKU2.3 build. I much prefer MS Voice Command and there isn't too much need for 3.2 as of yet (not many applications for it...)
Are you still working on something like that?
THanks again!
32 pool + 16 ramdisk works fantastic. BT, WiFi, Media, Camera, iGo GPS flies, phone on first ring.
Thanks Guru Mamaich :idea:
Thanks Master Helmi 8)
AG registry fix
"Audiogateway Registry Fix"
What is this fix exactly?
Thanks Helmi.
32MB paging pool and 16 MB Ramdisk is my choice.
Hi Helmi
in 32 MB paging pool and RAMdisk 16 MB version.
The RAM should be 77 MB , but it is exactly only 61 MB.
I think 16 MB RAM is hidden somewhere.
But all works fine ,It's great.
Thanks.
.
...
incredible speed!
but I have a problem with SmartX, when i try to configure it show the error "SmartX service not activate". And I cannot activate it, because the check is disable and i cannot tap on it.
This one is really fast!
Even the IE is fast!
Great, thanks! Keep up the good work.
Nothing new, practically... Yes, except the mem.pool size, but thats a thing everyone can do
My personal benchmark
This is realy great :!: I think we now have the WM5 features on our BA with better then WM2003 speed.
Since Helmi'c 1.2 version i keep track of the tomtom startup time after initial flash, app's install and configuring.
on 1.2 : over 30 seconds
on 1.3 : about 18 seconds
on 1.3.2: about 9 seconds 8)
on 1.2 with PHM overclocking: 13 secs
on 1.3 with PHM overclocking: 13 secs
on 1.3.2 with PHM overclocking: 8 secs
Best speed ever!
I confirm that memory available for programs is only 61 MB, instead of 77MB.
back on the 1.3.1 thread, I posted my suggestions to map the Hardware buttons with the 'mail' icon to left softkey, and the one with the IE icon to right softkey. I think someone replied me, but looks like I have been misunderstood. I do NOT mean to change the functions associated to the softkeys, I want to MAP the HW keys to them.
I know how to do it, but it would be good if they were already set up like this out of the box.
And having the backlight NOT turn off while on external power.
Kudos to Helmi and Mamaich! I guess we will see 1.3.2a or 1.3.3 soon, because of these missing 16MB...
Some ideas, my opinions

Some people would like that - some wouldn't. Some will think the change would go too far, some people will be confused, asking about what happened etc.
But really, if someone got used to that setting he uses , regardless of out-of-the-box status, he uses his own setting.
I mapped the softkeys to HW buttons, becouse HW shortcuts to PIE and Messages are unuseful for me. With softkeys mapped like that, it is possible to use BA w/o stylus and using just one hand in most cases. I don't need to touch the screen with my fingers, to use softkey.
Good idea.

There are people charging their PDA's over night, Having light on could be disturbing and w/o any sence. I keep it off.

hmm... If we use 32mb Page pool version it should 61mb left, for 16mb page pool it will 77mb...
about hardkey, I think it whould be wiser to make it standar Joe, to avoid confusion among user, cos it so cuztomize..
and about backlight, maybe some AddOn/Patch? I'll try to learn about it.
currently I'm workin on AKU2.6 as a replacement for my old AKU2.3 as so many user complain about compability issues with some app (MS Voice Command for example) currently not workin is sms with this aku2.6 rom after that I'll go back to aku3.2 :wink:
Got hold of version 1.32 of Helmi's rom. Here's my boot time right after installing of rom, without any other software I normally install myself.
1. Paging 32MB and Ramdisk 16MB - 36 seconds
2. Paging 16MB and Ramdisk 32MB - 35 seconds
I decided to stick with 2.
Overall, what I can say is that it's very fast now. I use to need to wait for tmail.exe to open but now, it opens instantly.
I'm very happy with the speed now. I can basically leave with this now. Cheers to Helmi and to the guy who found out about the paging size.

Hi Helmi,
I quite like 1.32 rom (AKU 3.2) with the paging size upgrade, except like others, is still missing MS Voice Command. You mentioned about AKU 2.6 rom, other than giving back MS Voice Command, what are the differences from 1.32 rom? Can the paging size be increased like the current 1.32 rom?
Thanks.
Hy Guys,
I used a GPS Software for Smartphone name NAVIGON Mob. Nav. 6.5 on my HTC S620 => it works without problems
This GPS Software is ok with HTC S710 but not yet with S730 (as this device is brand new)..
I've tryed the combination (HTCS730 - MN 6.5) : it works for fast research (proximities like gas pump or restaurant) but its goes down with classical researchs (too long) => the program stop !
My problem is with memory on this device HTC S730
I've maximum 17 000 to 18 000 Kb free at the best moments.. and I've installed no other software..
I've done a advanced test of my RAM thats shows that some files (hidden files) took much memory.. (like video telephony, listening ports) but I don't want to use it.. (I would prefer to hide them in order to make my GPS soft work )
So who can tell me how to dismantle some WM6 files/process in order to win some KB for my GPS ?
Thanks in advance for your help

iGO 8 ver.: PDA 8.0.0.44366 works perfect on my diamond (only change the sys file for landscape mode and storage name), and the gps is fast, so without problems.
The diamond cant turn display from portrait to landscape, only in gallery and browser. Needed a plus soft to do it, or this is incompatibility 4 this function?
Rom Version: 1.37.401.3 WWE
Radio: 1.00.25.03
Really ? Jeese If i`ve had known this before ... it would safe my life !!!! Learn to search my friend ... there are several and by several I mean at least 3+ topics on that. Yes iGO 8 is working long time - for at least three quarters of month and as far as I remember i didn`t have any problems running it in landscape mode.
OK OK. But im only posting ver. number for new people, that is working. And what about rotate display ?
Where you find IGO 8?
My question.
And no lag?
SYS.txt and other modified files...
Please attach your perfect worked sys.txt and other modified file.
Thanks!
No Lags...
Add to sys.txt before or after install this:
[folders]
app="Internal Storage\igo8"
[interface]
resolution_dir="320_240"
It works on my diamond.
If needed, add this under |folders| too:

Doens't work on 1.93 ROM.
Tried almost everything, even a hard reset. Just opens the loading screen, "INIT API" and closes without a message
Thanks
Thank you! If you send me your igo8 version link then i immediately testing and posting my test result.
Thank you for this Info.
Where can I buy it online ?
Nice looking ROM , with many bug at this point. Just uninstalled from my X1. Igo 8 , Garmin and a few GPS related software not working with this relase.Contact screen freeze after sync with outlook from my pc.
The only one ROM from itje worked for me trouble free: Touch-IT_Xperience_v2.2
Anybody out there who have Igo 8 and this ROM working?
sorry double post - deleted
Using Garmin Mobile XT V5.00.20 and works perfect (Socal).
Couple of things to check:
1 - Advanced Config - enable 'Assisted GPS'
2 - update quick GPS
3 - Settings - 'External GPS' my settings are:
GPS program port: COM4
GPS hardware port: (None)
Baud rate: 4800 (i've seen others used 9600 as well, don't know the difference)
Manage GPS auto - checked
From what I know, GPS has a lot more to do with the radio than rom. I've tried all three available Xperia radios and the best one for me is 1.10.25.18 . Satellites lock quickly and signal holds very well.
radios are available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477801
You just gotta experiment, good luck!
using igo8 perfectly.
also tried the cab for TT with a free map (to test out footprints) and that works as well.
I had big problems with gps, seems that sometimes a flash can mess it up. It's not related to rom, it's not itje's bug, a hard reset should do the trick. make a backup with something like spb backup, hard reset and then restore
PS I LOVE googlemaps integrated in contact detail page
I am using Touch-It RC1 with IGO8 without any problems, I didnt have any problems with any of the beta versions either.......I havent changed any GPS settings on windows or in IGO8 gps settings etc.

I bet you will have a lot of issue by enabling this. HTC put a bogus non-reachable IP address for AGPS and AGPS never work.
I actually haven't got into much problem with the A-GPS enabled. Only issue is if i leave the GPS program active, but not routing to a destination, and let the screen power off due to inactivity, the phone occasionally freezes. I will trying turning it off and see if i can repeat the freezing.

That should work; also check if the installation path is correct in sys.txt.
I've got Navigon 7, TomTom 7 and iGo8 working perfectly on the Xperia. TomTom and Navigon are a bit stretched since they were made for VGA, but they work fine.
Also Google maps, Trackr and QuickGPS work fine.
I left all GPS settings to the standard and disabled AGPS.
The above are valid for Itje's 2.01, 2.2, 3.01, 3.5 WWE and NLD, 4.0, Jack 2.08, CmEX 2 and some others I've tried (didn't keep track, I flash every few days )

You mind providing a brief review of these 3 products with pros and cons? I am running Garmin XT at the moment but IGO8 looks pretty interesting...

Here's my take:
IGo8:
Pro: Best graphic (both 3D and 2D) and fluid screen movement, TTS, fully customizable UI. lane info for freeway exit, excellent voice instuctions, Quite easy to use UI if you get use to it.
Con: Take a long time to (> 1 min) start. Resource and memory hog.
Garmin Mobile XT:
Pro: Best POI, Best online functionality if you got 3G plan (Google search, realtime traffic, airline schedule, gas price .... etc).
Con: Ugly UI (IMHO), quite hard to understand how to navigate the menus, slow, no TTS, not so good voice instructions
Tomtom: Very good graphic (just 2nd to Igo), very easy to use.
Con: no TTS, horrible voice instructions in complicated freeway situtation, no feature is best of it class and I don't see the need to use it (e.g. I would either use Garmin or Igo8 depend on situtation and needs, but in no case I would consider Tomtom....)
Thanks for the review! IGo8 sounds good, and I just moved to Socal and freeways is a ***** to navigate so better voice instructions would be a plus.

If you are in US, you should look into IGuidance 4/2009 too. Ugliest interface but best TTS instructions, fast startup time and use a lot less resource.
In my case iGo starts within 15sec., it depends on the stuff (maps, buildings etc.) you include. I´m using the latest version but it eats up a lot of memory though.

You mind providing a brief review of these 3 products with pros and cons? I am running Garmin XT at the moment but IGO8 looks pretty interesting...

My experience is similar to Jacks, but here goes:
Navigon 7:
pro: a lot faster than version 6, very good graphics, roadsigns in landscape, POIs with real life logo's, fast map updates, excellent voice instructions
con: startup is a bit slow, not customisable
iGo 8:
pro: very customisable/skinnable, nice graphics, chooses logical routes, lane info with roadsigns in portrait and landscape, fast map updates, easy to plan a route with multiple stops, displays second move.
con: startup is slow, hard to navigate to contacts (hidden in POI menus)
TomTom 7:
pro: very fast, very easy to understand and navigate from A to B.
con: very simple graphics, hard to customise
I use iGo most, but I think Navigon is nicer to look at and has better voices. iGo voices are a lot better than in previous versions, but you get a lot of notifications for one move. I hardly use TomTom; only when I want to now quickly (within a minute or so) where I can find a specific address.
I've had a play with the tomtom cab from the diamond and the free map of my home town (for footprints experimenting) and the route finding is really bad. I know a few others who have standalone units and have complained of the same.
I was heading back home the other night, set preferences to shortest, turned onto a 2 mile long straight road home and it decided I should instead turn left, go 3 miles to get onto the motorway ride along the motorway for a 1.5 miles than up another road for 2 miles, to come out the other end of the road I was on. mmm
give me igo anyday..
Been involved in the beta testing for the telmap stuff, other than the caching and amount of data it uses it's not bad, but ugly. Walking directions are pretty good as well.
Nothing from all the solutions you gave in this thread works for me ! I tried them all...
Anyone who got this working on Touch-IT v4.0 RC1 , RC 3 , RC 3.01 ......
What branding and data file are you using? What is your igo8 version number ?
What is in your sys conf. file?
Everything working fine with generic uk R2AA010 rom,but nothin with itje rom's....
I like very much his rom, i really wanted to use , but i must to have igo8 on my xperia
Hi all
This is my first post
I thought I would share this modded opera mini 5 cab for wm2003se
It works perfectly on my Alpine
Enjoy

Excellent find - works well.
Had been using the midlet version, this seems quicker.

Thanks
I found that as well
Very smooth and runs fullscreen as well, unlike the midlet version
Is there any way of reducing the font size even more than 'small' ?
I found typing
config:
into the address bar gives some 'power user' settings, but no more luck..
Have found configuration options quite lacking in both this and the java version - maybe I'm missing something.
As you say this runs much smoother and seems faster.. and loads really fast compared to the midlet version..
please make upgrades for wm2003se .... surely most of ppl would like it...
Outstanding!!!
OUTSTANDING!!!
Thank you very much!!!!
Thank you. It's work very well in my XDA IIi.
thx,try it
thank you so much! it works great!
Thanks this is EXACTLY what I needed! I couldn't find any good browser for my Windows Mobile 2003SE PDA, this is it!
great!Thanks very much.I hope that i can see more sofewares shared each other.
Nice to have an alternative browser to IE which crashes on a lot of modern sites.
However, I'm finding that it is very erratic about loading sites straight away -sometimes it takes a few goes or have to shut it down and start again.
Doesn't handle forum replies or webmail very well and no word completion.
But, at least it does load most sites pretty well.
Thanks
Opera Mini 5.1 available for wm2003se.
Or visit m.opera.com using Internet Explorer on your PDA (can't download it with Opera Min Beta).
It'll download alongside your current installation, so your bookmarks, etc won't be transferred over (there's probably a way). Just tried it this morning; not sure which I prefer yet...
Good that they support 2003 out-of-the-box still
The CAB won't open on my XDAIIi (Invalid Windows CE setup file). I'll try via PC later.
Strange... it definitely installed on mine... as you say, see how the PC install goes..
I don't see the XDA IIi listed under supported devices...XDA, XDA II, XDA IIs, XDA III but no IIi...
Amazingly, they actually have an installer for 2003se devices this time. I checked out the m.opera.com site from my WM2003se and there was a mobile 2003se alternate installer!
I installed it on my Dell Axim X50, Windows Mobile 2003se, it works perfectly. Quite a bit better than Opera Mini 5 beta.
Yeah, I installed it. Nice to have an alternative to IE but it still has quite a few false starts when trying to connect.
Imports bookmarks from mini using Opera Link which is good.
opera mini 5.1
Fab!
It has a default browser option!
and works FAR better with forms than 5
