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

iSlaker · Apr 11, 2009

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.

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.

highres=0
autoconfig=1

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.

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.

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:

[interface]
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

I have a data.zip with in the map config/devices a file with the name "HTC Touch HD T8282.ini" with the following content:

info_names="HD"

[device]
SDCard_dsk_num=7

[gps]
port="4"
baud="57600"

[rawdisplay]
highres=0
autoconfig=1
driver="gdi"

[power]
backlight_manage_values = 1
backlight_manage_keys = 1
backlight_max = 10
backlight_min = 1
backlight_reverse = 0
backlight_key_bright_BA1 = "Brightness"
backlight_key_bright_AC1 = "ACBrightness"
backlight_key_bright_BA2 = "BacklightLuminanceLevel"
backlight_key_bright_AC2 = "ACBacklightLuminanceLevel"
backlight_key_timeout_BA = "BatteryTimeout"
backlight_key_timeout_AC = "ACTimeout"
backlight_key_ontap_BA = "BacklightOnTap"
backlight_key_ontap_AC = "ACBacklightOnTap"
backlight_key_on_BA = "OnOff"
backlight_key_on_AC = "ExtOnOff"
backlight_methods = 25
backlight_events = 3

[interface]
use_big_lang_flag=1

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.

i found the solution!

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?
