Upgrading Orange ROM to imate Jasjar ROM

Hello,
I've just received my SPV M5000 and I'm loving it. However I do have a few niggles. Freezing, took ages to get skype to work, unable to install Tom Tom navigator 5.0.
I've heard that the imate Jasjar ROM is more reliable than Orange ROM.
Any information on the following questions would be much appreciated.
Does the imate ROM contain skype?
Where abouts can I locate the imate ROM?
How do install the ROM?
Can Tom Tom navigator run on the device?
Thanks in advance.

TomTom runs on the orange ROM. Its the installation that has problems, and that is to do with the installation package not liking WM5/Activesync 4
You can install TTN by copying over the 5 cab files manually and running them on the device, you will also want to find the 5.1 update cab.
If you do a search you will find the cab, and the information on this board. It took me 15 mins all in.
I know it doesn't answer your question, but might save you turning your phone into a brick!!
Also, are you on orange? If so, how the hell are you going to afford to use skype after the 3months 3g trial ends? :wink: :lol:

Thanks for that.
In response to your question. I won't really be using Skype over 3g. I will only use within Wireless Haotspots using WiFi.
As I am a complete thicky, would you be able to spoon feed me the installation of Tom Tom to my Universal. Where to install, what, etc and the upgrade?
Thanks in advance.

toptaggy,
I'm an irregular poster on here but found myself in the position of having a genuine registered copy of TomTom Navigator 5 and unable to use it on my M5000 having just upgraded from the M1000 and M2000.
Elsewhere on this forum, I found thie following which is a very helpful guide to installing TTN5 with Bluetooth GPS.
Hope it works for you too.

TomTom
There are 3 key steps in making TomTom 5 work on an i-mate JasJar with a Bluetooth GPS.
Many tips are scattered around in different Forums.
Here is a COMPLETE overview of what to do.
STEP 1 : INSTALL TOMTOM5
You do this by copying the CAB files from the CDROM (eg F:\PocketPC) to the JasJar and launch one by one from there with the explorer of the JasJar.
You can install voices the same manner by copying the CAB files to the Jasjar (eg from F:\Voice on the CDROM)
STEP 2 : UPGRADE TO V5.1
http://www.htcclub.net/storage/ppcupd510.rar
Extract and copy the files to a folder on the JasJar and install them from there.
STEP 3 : ACTIVATE THE GPS CONTROL PANEL
Fire up a registry editor (eg http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml )
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
Delete the DWORD marked "hide"
Add a DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec)
The GPS panel will now show up in your connection settings.
STEP 4 : INSTALL TOMTOM5
1. Establish a bond with your GPS and select the checkbox for serial access.
2. In BT, select the OUTGOING port to 8.
3. In the GPS control panel, select the GPS program to 0 and make sure that the hardware one, is set to None.
4. Start TT5 and the GPS settings, select another bluetooth GPS, and you will see COM 0 free. Select COM 0 and close TT5.
5. At the GPS control panel again, now select COM 8 (before we set it up at 0).
6. At BT: select OUTGOING port to 0.
7. Back again to GPS control panel and select NONE.
8. Finally start TT5 and it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.

Hi toptaggy
So far I was never happy with Orange ROMs. But I have a suggestion for you as long a realy good ROM is not avalable.
I installed the VGA tool. With this one the screen is much faster, specialy when turning the screen.
Than with the Total Commander CE the extended ROM is visible (just tip in the adress bar: Extended_ROM ). Here you can fist backup it and than remove unneccessary file as Orange ring tones etc. This will free up you some memory.
With this config my M5000 is working 50% faster as the standard out of the box.
A pitty is that the slider in the memory setting is missing as you had it in W2003 SE.
Cheers

What is the VGA tool and where can it be obtained from ???

B&BV4 and GPS

Hi,
I am running on a HTC P3300, not an M650.
With 3.7 my GPS was so accurate.
Now on 4.0, it has become unusable, th emap keeps spinning and it shos the street I have crossed 20 meters back.
Had anyone got this issue?
I am running on tomtom mobile 6.03.
Should I install the M650 fix?
what does this fix do?

Hello.
Are you sure you didn't modify some settings for your gps, in fact?
I had B&B V3.7 and I dit not have any problems with Tomtom Navigator 6.03 .
I will try tonight with B&B V4 because I didn't install Tomtom Navigator just after flashing. So I will send a feedback and we'll see

nope didn't change anything,
com4
gps hrdware support=none
baud rate = 4800
manage gps automaticaly=activated

It works perfect for me. Smooth & Fast

ok ,
maybe I need a clean install because i keep copying from my sd card to the tel.
Where can I find an install file for tomtom 6.03?

it looks like you need tomtom home to install this update...

no need exctract the cab with winzip
it will give 2 files and a folder
copy all three to the storage card
reboot the pda, it will install, create shortcuts and voila
don't forget to delete the files frome the card after or at each
start it will launch tomtom

German WM6 Update ship

Hello evreybody has someone installed the WM6 update from the german homepage?
Has anybody noticed that it´s the sam rom then the last update?
The different is in Tomtom (cause after the update i have no tomtom!)
Anybody the same problem??
Have a nice day

Your TomTom App is in the Extended_Rom.
If you´ve stopped the Setup with a Softreset, you can install it manually with TotalCommander. In main Directory tap in: Extended_Rom and you will see the contant of the folder (sometimes that method doesn´t work, I don´t know why). The name of TomTom is something with "TTN"

iGo8 won't start, Skype won't install

hi all,
been trying to run iGo8 (navigation) on my blackstone.
after the install (no error message) the program tries to start, i get the initial start page (splash screen), then it shuts down for no reson.
anyone know how to fix this?
i tried the iGo7 i have running on my ipaq (windows mobile 5) and it does the same thing...
currently running:
rom: Dutty's V2.1 extreme
radio: 1.10...
i also tried to install skype and it stated that some files are missing from the installation no matter what i tried (update: managed to install skype - simply installed the PDA version - not the smart phone one... sorry for the bother)
anyone having said problems? any idea how to fix it?
any help would be greatly appreciated...

I had the same problem. But i believe you have 2 folders, one called 2577 (or something like that) and an IGO8 folder, right?
Go into the IGO8 folder and change the name of application.dat to IGO8.exe
This can best be done by connecting your phone with you cable to your pc.
Anyway, when you changed the name of the file, then try to open that newly renamed file. Do not open it through Start > Programs > IGO8.

still need help
Tnx for the help Sevenrow, unfortunately - it didn't work...
I tried everything i can think of (after trying your suggestion), including copying the igo8.exe (after the name change) to the install folder (program files), but still - the same crash.
the only thing i can think of now is that the program isn't planned for microSD cards, i opened the sys file and saw it was addresing the program as "%SDcard%/IGO8/"
could that be it? i tried to change the file to "/Storage Card/IGO8" likr it really is - but still no good.
any ideas will be greatly appreciated (even if they have to do with the IGO 7 that i know works perfectly (just not on the blackstone)

It's a guess but do you have the newest version of .net (3.5) ??
I have no idea about igo8 but skype runs fine on my HD and the install was without problems.
I have tomtom and route66 and both work fine on the HD.

Igo8 runs perfectly on my HD, so i guess there's something wrong with your files. I can help you with it, but i don't think it's allowed here on the forums. So tell me, if you hang out in an IRC channel or something, i'll drop by and help you out.

Try to disable A-gps.

Thanks for everyone's help - still a no go...
running .net3.5 but thanks for the thought Dave.
been trying to switch back to my perfectly legal (and working) igo 7 - but nothing... i just don't get it.
will try the a-gps off next (for now i let my HTC rest a bit - it's been a long day for it).
Sevenrow - i don't really hang anywhere... tell me where you stay - and I'll visit happily.

Thanks for your solution. It works very well.
At first I realised that I had the issue when I used the new keyboard so I disabled it (just using the standard one).
After your solution, I just noticed that I have another issue with the sound volume that I can only change with the screen slider, the physical volume buttons are not taken into account.
Is that the same for you and if yes do you have any idea of a trick to solve it?

I don't have this problem :S

no problems with igo8 and duttys 2.2 / DD 2 HP / leos vers 9
dont have any problems with igo8 and the latest roms!

I had the problem with MaryOne v1.3 and here was the fix i used (with mortscript and VJSipSwitchII) :
runwait "\Storage card\exec\VJSipSwitchII.exe", "Keyboard"
runwait "\Storage card\iGO8\iGO8.exe"
runwait "\Storage card\exec\VJSipSwitchII.exe", "Touch Input"

No need to change the power managment ....

i need sys.txt to IGO 8.3. Can someone send me ?

Nice one! This has been bugging me for a while now.
Thanks for posting this

Just a question:
- why reinstall IGO8 after flashing the device?
If you installed it to your card, it will work normally after hard-reset or flashing new ROM. You simply have to copy a shortcut to lead to IGO8.exe and copy it into Windows\Start menu\Programs. It will even show up under All applications list.
Run it, and that's it.
Same goes for Ndrive, TomTom and pretty much any other program you install on your card. I got some programs running from the card I installed the very first day I got my HD, and I changed like 6 ROMs so far.

easy fix...
change your soft keyboard to "keyboard" the default old keyboard (not the new from manilla) and it works...
atleast for me
