iGO8(480x272) working on HD Mini - HD Mini Themes and Apps

Hi guys,
For those of you who still use iGO8 and haven't changed to Primo, I thought to share how the iGO8(480x272) looks on the HD Mini.
I've tested a few changes in the sys file until I've got iGO8 to look decent on the Mini considering the HVGA resolution and the fact that I didn't find a proper branding/data.zip out there with 320x480.
I thought 480x272 is quite close to 320x480 in landscape, the difference is only 48 pixels...
Have a look the the attached picture. You will lose 48 pixels on the bottom of the screen. If you still like it this is how you do it.
If you managed to start iGO8 go to your sys file and modify:
[rawdisplay]
class="rlandscape"
screen_x=480
screen_y=272
vga =0
highres=0
strech=1
If you didn't manage to start it, keep trying. These could be some reasons:
1. Make sure you installed it (in 2257 folder run autorun.exe)
2. Make sure you are editing the right "sys.txt" (it can be only one )
3. Make sure you have the folder ui_igo8/480_272 in you branding.zip and data.zip
If anyone knows better solutions please share.

Sorry but these ones are for Igo Primo not for Igo 8.3...
But why "You will lose 48 pixels on the bottom of the screen."? There's a Dimkavert skin for hd mini and you won't lose any pixel. You'll see the app filling all the screeen.
Try to search on Google. If you don't find it I can send you mine which is working perfectly.
Cheers.

@otsart
I've tested the Dimka skins, which I already had installed on my IGO , but still they don't go full screen. I had a look on his website and his skins are not for HVGA (320x480/480x320). They are working on your mini because you probably have the 480x320 in your branding/data.zip (which I am not able to find anymore) and dimka's skins get stretched somehow. Maybe post the [rawdisplay] section of your sys file so that we'll see how come they work on HVGA.
Many thanks!

Many thanks for the files It Works perfectly in full-screen now!

a torrent file please!
MOD EDIT: You cant ask for warez on XDA

Background for all Tabs

Hi
I have a question.
I found a thread in which they put some files in to change all backgroounds in all tabs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2869354&postcount=571
So I downladed the files and unzipped them on the PC.
I got 2 files:
5c9aa261_manila
4a087e41_manila
So I thought I had to copy them into the windows folder of the touch hd (am I right?). So I did. The file "4a087e41_manila" copies as it should, but when I try to copy the file "5c9aa261_manila" it says that it has to replace an already existing file. Then I click yes and it says thats not able to overwrite the file, cos its in use.
So does somebody know how to do that and if I am on the right way to install it? (didnt find a howto to install this backgroundmod )
Thanks in advance!

use total commander to copy and paste it then it will let you overwrite it or stop tf3d and use TC. it worked great for me but just an FYI, you have to mod the manilla file with a 256x256 pic or you will end up with a white backgroun on every tab instead of your pic

I made my own manila file and think it looks terrible with this. IT stretches the 256x256. Any chance odf using 512x512 or soemthing that doesnt have to be a perfect square?
You've probably worked this out for yourself by now, but i think the trick here is to pick an image that looks good at 800x480 and then use PSP or similar to squish it to 256x256. The HD seems to resize the image to something acceptable when it renders it.
Worked for me anyway. Having said that, the image quality isn't fabulous - decent but not spectacular - from what looked to be a good starting image, so maybe I'm doing something wrong - I'd expect a decent image on a screen like the HD's.
Any other suggestions from those that have already replaced backgrounds?
that is precisely what I am doing with the exact same result. In addition, it seems to position the image a hair to the left..... not sure why.
I reckon we're losing detail when the image is compressed and which the HD can't recover when it renders the image. There ought to be a way of sorting this out as there seem to be other examples of decent quality backgrounds on the forum. Maybe these are only home tsb backgrounds though?
Of the two files that change the background I reckon the one that starts with 5 is the one that tells HD what and how to display. If I knew how to edit this I reckon it the displacement issue could be sorted out and it might even be possible to use a bigger image. I'm poking around in the dark though.
work great for me !! tnx !!

Can somebody explain this to me?
Hi guys
I installed the two manila files "5c9aa261_manila" and "4a087e41_manila" (see attached in "manila files.zip") into the windows folder and then reactivated TF3D.
Then I say that the background changed well in all tabs. It seemed everything was all right til I saw this (picture attached). In the all programs list and the share portfoilo tab I see instead of a all white backgroud a dark bar in the upper half of the screen showing the background installed on all tabs.
Now I wanted to know how I could solve this. Hope someone could help me.
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem. I've even hard reset the device and applied this tweak with the same result. Anyone else have a suggestion??
I have the same problem... and it didnt bug me before but it really bugs me now... it happens in all TF3D applications, all programs, Album etc.
Appreciate any advice on how to fix this.
Anyone.. perhaps the original author of the thread.. are we the only two people seeing this issue?
I do not have a solution to that, but what I have noticed quite often earlier on the HD (not sure if it was the case with the Diamond, as the Diamond backgrounds looked better) but whenever you set a background the NORMAL way (using the settings tab) then the background also becomes quite unsharp, indicating that the phone makes a snapshot of the image which is a lot smaller, and which then gets scaled back up when displayed on the home screen.
I don't know why manila does this, or why HTC decided to do this, perhaps to conserve memory but come on, an 800x480 image does not have to be big.
Wanna see what I mean, watch a razor sharp picture in album viewer then put it on your background, it will be unsharp, like it's a blown up very small image.
If anyone has any clue on how to change this, to be able to use sharp backgrounds, i'd be grateful.

I am also using the black vga version. The art folder should be in the main directory of your storage card. (icons should be in the CARS folder: Storage Card\ART\CARS) Hope this helps!
cheers mate . i tried that earlier art\cars and it didnt work but i tried ART\CARS with only two cars in folder and it works fine now .
thanks
i dont know if the upper case made the difference or the fact i took 225 icons out and left only two

I don't think it was the upper case that was your problem because I just changed mine to lower case and it still worked. Maybe you had too many icons and it was taking too long to load.

iGo8 on HTC Mini

I have installed iGo8 on the Mini, a lot of work on the sys but finally managed to make it work. I still have one problem, when navigating I don't see the position triangle. Any idea which sys line addresses that?

good, how much is version? I only have Nav N Go iGO 8.3.2.96054 version
I'm running 8.3.4.117940, not sure if it makes a difference though.
error after 10 minute of work
Hi all
I there somebody to help me? I tried two versions of iGO8 on my HD mini. Both ver.works fine, but only first ten minutes. Then the screen turns black (there is only time, batery, signal, GPS visible). But I can still hear navi instructions. After few minutes switch PDA off, because of automatic swich off in setting of device.
Than I can start the voice with black screen - press main switch.
But I cant do some else. I have to take the battery out, for restart...
Oops, now I downdloaded new zip files and all works...

I think the problem is because Igo hasn't been designed to work on this screen resolution so somebody changed the data in the branding/data zips. So errors will occur but at least it works for now in Landscape.
Any idea how can I make the position triangle smaller?
Hello, I'm the new one...
Sorry to interrupt, but I thought this is the correct threat!?
I was using iGO8 (8.3.2.64873) on a HTC Magician (S100) and it was working perfectly (except some "out of memory"). Now I tried to use this version on a HD Mini - with the previously posted branding and data.zip; thanks for that, NitroNitrous.
When I start iGO8.exe, the startscreen appears, but right after it shows "INIT API" the startscreen is closed. I tried to modify the sys.txt, but this didn't help.
Does anybody know what I can do about it?

yeah of course, you need root access, then use Root Explorer (or similar app) to edit the sys.txt located in /data/data/com.navngo.javaclient/
and then you need to have this in the sys.txt, replace the old part with this:
Code:
[rawdisplay]
driver=engine
screen_xy="800_480:1280x670/720x1230"
^^ That will keep your android top bar visible, both in portrait and landscape.
If you would want fullscreen, then use this:
Code:
[rawdisplay]
driver=engine
screen_xy="800_480:1280x720/720x1280:fullscreen"
Good luck!
EDIT: above edits are for when you are running your android OS WITHOUT the 3-dot button bar.
Also, you need to make sure you made certain edits to multimode.ini (not described in my post), or perhaps you have an apk that already contains those edits to multimode.ini.

You're kinda right, but it's the best navigation software for android hands down...
I think the problem is more in the navigation software than in the htc one x. Sygic is also not smooth at all on the htc one x. That's also the reason why I would love to see tomtom for android, but even though they promised it for this summer, I still haven't seen it.
I'm still having trouble configuring it, I tried a lot of multimode.ini / sys.txt modifications. I either get a 1280x720 not supported error, or it closes itself after a few seconds (renaming DCIM does nothing). I'm on stock ROM, not rooted, so I can only edit multimode.ini inside the data.zip archive. The .apk is supposedly made for 1280x720, but maybe I should use another one?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Still, Waze works great and so does Google Maps, and the latter uses bloody 3D Satellite imaging.
The capability exists, it's just that most big-name navigation software (Igo, Sygic, etc) haven't really rebuilt their core engines from the bottoms up in ages, and rely on decade-old technologies.

Do you have old pictures from another phone in DCIM folder? I had old photos from my old phone, until I moved them then iGO worked.
Apparently, photos with Geographic data will appear in the iGO map as POI, so that might be the problem.

Hi. I have a galaxy s with JB and i installed primo 2. It works ok exept the voice. can someone help me?

[Q] iGo Primo, How to make it work?

Hi,
Currently I am trying to install iGo Primo on my nn-rooted/stock Galaxy Note II. I've got iGo Primo v9.6.7.235654 and it installs successfully.
However, every time I try to start it, it gives me a message stating that 720x1280 resolution is not supported or no compatible skin was found.
I tried Googling to see if there are any skins that support this resolution and I found this Primo Lesscro site (sorry I'm new here and cannot post links in my thread ATM).
I tried a couple of their 1280 skins but they don't seem to work or maybe I just misplaced them... I extracted the zip archive and put the files/folders directly inside my iGo Directory.
Can anyone please help me in getting iGo to work on my Note 2 without rooting it? Where can I git a 1280 supported skin from and most importantly where should I place the skin files.
I suggest you contact the publishers. Seeing as you bought their product, they should be able to help you easily.

Isn't iGo home-brewed... don't know what u talkin about??
I think that was the point he was making - he was saying no warez on xda. Apologies to the OP if his copy is genuine but iGo was often ripped off
