In the spirit of the script written for iGo8 in the thread
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=88692
I've written a script to shutdown Sense UI, ActiveSync, HTCMessaging and start GPSGate and iGuidance and automatically restart Sense UI when you exit iGuidance.
The Script is below but is also attached.
Just copy the script to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and then you and add a short cut to it from where ever you want.
One click and you are up and running.
EDIT 1: If you have VoiceCommand enabled you need to do the "Voice Command" notifications dance to get it out of the way from blocking TTS too. Switch back and forth between Notifications on Handset and Headset (with reboots in between. It does not seem to matter which you leave it on but toggling this and rebooting a few times seems to fix something that blocks TTS in navigation.
EDIT 2: I attaced a new version that does not use KILL which is bad.
EDIT 3: Acid test for TTS. Reboot, Send Text Message to yourself and wait for it. Open it an Click all Messages. Open Email and Click All Messages. Make Bluetooth call with Voice Command. Now try to run your Nav with TTS. With this script it will work as far as I can tell. Without loosing Voice Command.
EDIT 4: New V3 Script now restarts Voice Command too.
EDIT 5: Uploaded V4. Finally got around to adding timeouts. Also added opera 10.
EDIT 6: Uploaded V5. Fixed issue where backup Kill Command could be issued too soon and not always free resources. Thanks to nayr1482 for finding this.
EDIT 7: Uploaded V6. Just a very minor tweak that would only speed things up if you got a timeout error.
EDIT 8: Uploaded V7. I blundered a copy paste error and it would not wait for manila to shutdown before proceeding. Thanks again to nayr1482 for his persistence in debugging what the script does.
EDIT 9: Uploaded V8. I must of been drunk when doing V4. Found another error, Opera 10 was not being shutdown by it's window which could leave resources unreleased. Also noticed with the fix in V7 that manila did take longer than timeout value (5 seconds) on occasion so I bumped it up to 10 seconds.
