[REF] Understanding iGo 8's SYS.TXT!

guys, please, read with full attention, this can help us all.
what about we working together to explain each of the lines in the sys.txt, some of them are self-explanatory but most of them aren't.
this would be extremely helpful for newbies and not-too-newbies.
the reason is that i realized that everytime someone posts a new sys.txt people will try it and in the process, some features that were enabled previously will disappear or something new will come up that will get us freaking out. specially because it seems that every new sys.txt posted here has a bunch of new parameters.
everyone wants the best settings to suit their needs and the best is if they could achieve that themselves by knowing what they are doing.
i'd like everyone to contribute, don't be afraid to be wrong, try and if it's not right someone else will fix. just copy, paste and edit the bottom sys.txt with the explanation of each line really replacing the ;???????????? for what you think this line will do.
I'm using the sys.txt posted by andrewpmoore with some add-ins found in this thread. I deleted the explanations in the original sys.txt. i just found that although saying "makes map drawing a lot faster" will make me think that it really does what it says, however it still won't say exactly what it is and what are its parameters.
The tags in blue were added by me, if you think they're incorrect, please correct me.
>>>Update:
Added more lines found in other examples as well as some info provided by Shetlander.

V.4 - houston, we have a problem!
ok, the sys.txt file now features 14k which is bigger than a post could hold.
and to show it with text formatting it would take other 5k or more, so it was impossible to put it here.
please download the zip file.
in it, you'll find the sys.txt in normal text-only, in word 2003 and in excel 2003.
the reason i added a version in excel is cause it's much easier to edit, sort, add and delete comments in batches.
please have a go.

recalc_voice=0 Supposed to disable the annoying "route recalculation" voice.
mapfontscale=200 I think its to do with the size of road names etc on the map.
drive_carefully=0 ;Disable the voice "drive carefully"
skin="ui_igo8" ;????????????
;resolution_dir="800_480" ;Tells the program which directory the ui files are in. I think pointless if you use - autoconfig=1 ;It will make iGo work with TouchHD native rotation.
auto_nightmode=0 ;Stops the prog switching to nightmode automatically
;screen_x=800 ;????????????
;screen_y=480 Tells the prog the dimension of x & y of the screen, again I think irrelevant if you use autoconfig.
show_oneway_3d=1 ; 3d arrows in one way streets ;Draws 3d arrows in the direction of travel on one way streets
show_oneway=1 ; show one way on or off ;?Will either show on not show one way streets.

i will update it to the first post, but just occured to me the mapfontscale=200 is more for the street names showing on the map (the ones that follow the road while you move).
thanks for the input, mate.

thanks to PedroDaGr8 i am bringing to you "some more"
this are the options/possibilities existing for the different settings in the sys.txt and some explanations of what they are and what they are doing.
look for the comments after the ; but most of them are self explanatory.

An important setting for the Touch HD:

I am using the latest iGO8 and I don't use an sys.txt?

are you absolutely sure about that? sys.txt is like the bible for iGo. it is where you can change almost everything in the app to suit your needs. if it's working without it you may be using the factory settings which are not optimal.
@everyone: guys, i'm nearly finished re-editing the sys.txt with all the additions provided and will update the post #2 later today.
@KukurikU: why some of the itens in the screen, sound and 3d have no parameters? an example is focus_activator_key, shouldn't it be focus_activator_key=NNN?

This is very interesting. I have seen that some people are using type="Touch HD", some have even suggested using type="ALIAS XPERIA"
I looked in the latest "data file" that I could find, and under the subdirectory config\devices I found only one config file that relates directly to the Touch HD and it is called:
ALIAS_BLACKSTONE
I just started using this line type="ALIAS_BLACKSTONE" and with a ; in front of almost all of the entries in my sys.txt file to make them inactive. Everything is working great so far including landscape/portrait. I looked in the file and there wasn't much in it but I figure at least I actually found a file name that corresponded to the HD in the list.

that is definitely an important info. using the default settings for a specific model would suit a lot of users.
sys.txt's main job is tweak the app to optimize the experience. editing it wisely would make the whole thing much better.

This is the contents of the ini file from the latest DATA.zip file for the Touch HD.

As you can see, the rawdisplay settings are the important ones to control the size of screen. My iGO8 uses a baud rate of 56000 so id rather not use the ini file.

Yes i'm absolutely sure.
In version v8.3.2.64873 and lower you need a sys.txt where you need to tell iGO that it should use 800x480 graphics etc etc.. I am using v8.3.2.80621 and the only setting sys.txt contains is:
Code:

show_exit=1
It automatically detects your device and configures itself. I am using it for a few weeks now and there is no need for adding settings because it's working perfect

In sys.txt in version v8.3.2.80621, I only have:
[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGo8"
[device]
type="HTC Touch HD T8282"
(If you have installed iGO in the device memory it is important that you edit the sys.txt at that location instead of the sys.txt on the sdcard)

hi,
i've added all the new lines and the sys.txt file became way too big to fit in a post. it can be found in a zip file in doc, xls or txt.
it took me so long to post the additions simply because a few lines were making my blackstone crash and i had to work out which one.
as you can see in the files, a lot of lines are lacking explanation. please let's work on it a bit more, mates.
and thank you again for the inputs.

OK, If you want to stop the "route recalculation" voice, under [TTS] in your sys.txt file add = recalculate=0.
Ive just tried it this morning and it works fine.
Finally got rid of that annoying voice.

I have a strange problem.
The first time I try and search for an adress, I can use the
smart search funktion were letters greys out if there is no street adress
matching the previous letter.
But after I have closed a route, and try to search for a new adress, the letter "å or a" is automaticly pressed multiple times. I cant even go back and push another letter myselfe.
So far the only way to restore this is to resset user data.
Can this problem be solved by useing some command i the sys.txt file?

are you sure this is not a bug in the version you're using? i have recently been to portugal where the words have accents such as çãâáàü and everything worked just fine. i'm still using the version 8.3.2.64873.

Add this to sys.txt
[device]
Type="ALIAS_TOUCH HD"
sdcard_dsk_num=7

The only problem I'm having is that iGO doesn't respond when I press the hardware sound buttons. Nothing happens..
I'm using the latest version with no sys.txt, but I used a lot of sys.txt earlier when I used older versons. And there was the same problem. I'm using custom roms. Maybe that's the problem, because when I used stock rom I didn't have the problem.
Anyone having a solution?

I've been trying to get TTS to work for weeks, with no success so far. Whenever I select a TTS voice it's silent.
How did you install TTS? Would it be possible to post of list of the folders/files in your Igo setup?
I don't have sys.ini file - only a sys.txt file - could this be a problem?

what is the best baud rate to set up the GPS settings.
I also noticed that the GPS is little bit off in few meters how can I fix that.
I am running Rom 6.5 europe on T Mobile

I use unbranded TP2 with the below configuration:
[gps]
internal=1
source="virtserial"
port=0
baud=38400
It was working flawlessly with WM6.1; same with the latest official WM6.5.

I have been working on to get Igo 8 on it,
but everytime I start it up, it says:
failed to open file: ui_igo8\480_800\loading.bmp exiting application.
Can somebody explain what I am doing wrong?
tnx

An error you report means, you use "data.zip" file that does not support skin being selected.
Either you should change the skin or google for a right "data.zip" file.

all right, those of you who claim to be using 480-800 settings, i'm not saying you're wrong, but have you tried to install a 480-800 skin? whenever i put a 480-800 into my skins folder the program ignores it. however, the lower resolution version of the skin shows up and has no problem loading. this leads me to believe that the program is not actually running at 480-800. am i missing something here? any igo8 gurus have any idea?

iGO8 shows only skins fitting into it's settings so lack of 480x800 resolution means incorrect sys.txt
I use the below settings to get Gurjon skin working fine with 480x800 resolution:
[rawdisplay]
highres=0
autoconfig=1
driver="gx"
screen_y=800
screen_x=480
Additionally, you need to have data.zip file supporting this resolution, otherwise you will receive an error message as reported few posts before.
[edit]
Please note that there are TWO copies of sys.txt - one is located on your SD card while the second is (typically) located on your device in program files\igo8 folder.
iGO8 is using that SECOND one...

tovermars - first off your having that error because u have the wrong data.zip that doesnt have a 480x800 resolution in the zip file and or ur sys.txt file isnt in landscape mode...uur best bet to try to see if u have atleast one of them right..is to before u start igo8..open ur slideout keyboard and put ur screen in landscape mode vmanually..then start igo8..this should work and the program should open like normal because ur phone is alrdy in landscape mode before u start the program...#2 if that doe s work u may need to go to settings and turn ur screen to landscape mode everytime u want to start igo8..which will be a pain but atleast u get it to work..ur gonna need to adjust ur sys.txt settings and put landscape mode in the text..
people having tts problems u need to have the right audio folder in the root igo8 folder with the correct "EN" files that come with tts..theres a perfect site for this that will solve all of ur igo8 problems but u guys gotta find it urselves..the first pa4rt of the address is ppc the rest if "blank" cant use that word here in xda so search for ppc"blank".org and go to gps section ull solve all ur problems.

This version "iGO8.3.2.80621" works great on my T-Mo HTC TP2.

Thank you! your settings worked for me perfectly!

Hi,
I got the the 800 x 480 working properly on either portrait and landscape only. I can't seem to be able to change orientation to 800 x 480 as I please. It must be the sys.txt is either setting the resolution to portrait only, or landscape only. Is it just me having this issue ?

[Q] WP7 - ListBox w/template ADD Item??

Hi there,
Well, here is my situation and hopefully someone could shed some light on this annoying dilemma...
I'm pretty sure the solution is quite easy ,but so far I cannot find one.
I have a ListBox with a data template.
Now, I want to add some items (pretty easy, isn't it?
But...I always get the same data in every row...
Here is my code
Code:
Option Strict On
Option Explicit On
Partial Public Class MainPage
Inherits PhoneApplicationPage
Dim DataSelected As New Class_DS
' Constructor
Public Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
End Sub
Public Class Class_DS
Public Property DS_Distance() As Integer
Public Property DS_Value() As String
Public Property DS_Angle() As String
End Class
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
For x As Integer = 1 To 4
DataSelected.DS_Distance = x
DataSelected.DS_Value = (x + 2).ToString
DataSelected.DS_Angle = (x + 3).ToString
Me.ListBox_DS.Items.Add(DataSelected)
Next x
End Sub
End Class
Quite simple, but doesn't work as expected!
Just in case, here goes the XAML
Code:
<DataTemplate x:Key="Template_DS">
<StackPanel>
<Border Width="450" CornerRadius="15">
<Border.Background>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="Black" Offset="0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FF032E45" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Border.Background>
<Grid>
<TextBlock x:Name="TextBlock_DS_Distance" Text="{Binding DS_Distance}" VerticalAlignment="Top" d:LayoutOverrides="Width" FontSize="26.667" Margin="4,15,4,0"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="TextBlock_DS_Value" Text="{Binding DS_Value}" Margin="4,50,4,0" d:LayoutOverrides="Width" FontSize="26.667" VerticalAlignment="Top" Foreground="#FFE6FF05"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="TextBlock_DS_Angle" Text="{Binding DS_Angle}" d:LayoutOverrides="Width" FontSize="21.333" Margin="4,85,4,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Foreground="White"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="12,0,12,0">
<ListBox x:Name="ListBox_DS" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource Template_DS}" Background="{x:Null}" Margin="3,111,3,0" BorderBrush="Blue" BorderThickness="8" Height="490" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
<Button Content="Button" Height="87" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="9,18,0,0" Name="Button1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="441" />
</Grid>
What I get is 4 rows with exactly the same data...
Row 1
4
6
7
Row 2
4
6
7....
What I expect is to get this
Row 1
1
3
4
Row 2
2
4
5
Don't have a clue where the issue is, perhaps with the class template or else...
Amybe I'm missing some sort of method??
Any help is greatly appreciated!

When databinding you need to set up INotifyPropertyChanged so the listbox will update when your observable collection changes.
The Windows Phone Databound Application template installed by default with the SDK will show you exactly how to do this properly.

Help identifying bloat apps

In removing much of the bloat from the phone I've come across a few that are difficult to tell exactly what they are for. Does anyone know what the "SensorService.apk" and "Match3VS.apk" are used for? There are a few others that by name are also difficult to determine what they do, if you know of any please post them, there are many Bloat lists but none list what the apk's actually are for.

Match3VS is one of the built-in Samsung Games. SensorService doesn't sound like bloatware to me, but the icon does make it look like it might be related to S Health.

Here is a list of all the bloaware (Thanks to EV1LART):

Tasker Question

Hey everyone, I have a Tasker question. I don't own Tasker as I've never found a need for me yet, but I just had an idea that I'm hoping it can help with. So... I'll try to explain what I would like to do if possible.
I would like to have Tasker automatically connect to a specific OpenVPN profile anytime my phone connects to any WiFi profile, except for certain ones (like for home). With that, I'd like to have it auto-disconnect OpenVPN when losing WiFi and going back to cellular data.
Right now, I always connect to my personal VPN server to ensure my traffic is always encrypted while on open WiFi connections, but it would be awesome to automate that! :good:
Thanks!

You can definitely do that. Automating OpenVPN is a little tricky and specific (uses specific intent commands in Tasker). When I can get to my computer, I'll post a link on how to automate VPN.
For the rest, you can have Tasker execute commands based upon if WiFi connects or not. There is definitely a learning curve if you've never used Tasker, but it is so worth it, IMHO

Excellent, thanks for the reply! It's a good start to know what I'm looking to do is possible. :good:

I do exactly what you want using Tasker, OpenVPN for Android, and OpenVPN Tasker Plugin with Pure VPN or VPN Unlimited services.
And just to note, I use beta apps of all three, via the G+ Communities.
I have three profiles:
WiFi Connect Home (no VPN since I have one on my home router)
Wifi Connect Not Home - OVPN On
Wifi Not Connect - OVPN Off
Totally automatic and works flawlessly every single time! :good:

Perfect, that's exactly what I'm looking for! I'm off to finally purchase Tasker!

I just have this setup today with Pi VPN (openvpn) setup in my Raspberry Pi 3 and it works beautifully. BTW, all you need is OpenVPN Connect (official OpenVPN client) and Tasker. No need for any additional plugins.
For any one who wants to use, here's the XML code. You just need to change 3 values highlighted in red (2 being your WIFI SSID and 1 the ovpn profile name). Enjoy!!

I used that Collin Barrett link. I also tested the wholly bejesus out of both OpenVPN Connect and OpenVPN for Android / OpenVPN Tasker plugin. After a month of having both on my phone and testing one and then the other at coffee shops, on public transportation with wifi, government office wifi, and many more.
For me, the OpenVPN for Android / OpenVPN Tasker plugin was more powerful, faster to engage / disengage, and more reliable in various scenarios. That is why we have choice. I'm not going to carry a Rasberry Pi around to test your result. Glad it works for you. My solution works better for me.

Certainly, nothing against your solution. More choice works better :good:. I had issues with that Collin Barrett solution as well. And that's because it's outdated, due to OpenVPN Connect changing their implementation. This working one I provided is actually buried in the comments. And it's snappy as well.
BTW, it works with any ovpn profile with any vpn provider. Just that I'm running my own vpn to my home network to take advantage of Pi-Hole

That is cool.
I have an ASUS RT-AC86U running custom Asuswrt-Merlin firmware with a strong SPI firewall add-on, an Ad Blocker and a program that compresses all display ads so they don't slow down even though blocked.
Oh yeah, and an OpenVPN client integrated into the router firmware, that allows selective routing of LAN clients based on website visited to allow things like Netflix and Hulu who do not like the proxy of a VPN. Working on a scripting solution to get around that now. :good:
That is why I want fast auto engage / disengage on my mobile devices as soon as they leave my home WiFi. :victory:
