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.

info_names="HTC Blackstone"

[device]
SDCard_dsk_num=7

[gps]
port = 4
baud = 9600

[rawdisplay]
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.

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:

[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?
