How to get iGo8 run on TP2 with TTS enable and 2009 NA Maps (step by step guide)

[SKS06460]

Interesting about the TTS voice. My original setup worked until I added the US English male and female voices. Then there was a memory overload and I got no speech. I eliminated the US voices and the voice works again. Strangley, the UK voices are about 15 KB each. The US voices are 40 and 59 KB each. I wonder why that is ?

I believe the US voices are of higher quality and to use them you are going to need to free up some more ram. Use the 2 cab files in the following link to free up the needed ram. I had the same issue and had to do this on a pretty stock tp2 to get it to work. You'll lose push internet in the process but with the fast download speeds 3g offers its a worthy trade off. Also, consider getting HTC addicts Cleanram and running it before starting up the gps or doing a soft reset.

I have my lovely new TP2 - love it
Followed the instructions here and installed iGo8, like it
(Yes there is some lag - but easy to use and fun)

Before I upgrade to 6.5, could anyone advise will iGo8 work on TP2 with WM6.5?

I have a custom mort script that will turn off TF3D, run CleanRam (I have custom process enabled to exit Opera and Tmail within CleanRam), then run Igo8. Once you are finished with Igo and you exit, TF3D will restart. This took some testing, but this works everytime with the high quality TTS voices. I have had no issues. I have posted the code below, this will work on your device providing that you install CleanRam to your "device" and your IGo program is listed as "\storage card\iGO8\igo8.exe". These HQ TTS voice issues baffled me for months, but now they work consistently without a soft reset.

Again this code will stop TF3D, Run CleanRam, Start Igo... then when you exit iGo it will restart TF3D.

manilastate=ProcExists("manila.exe")
If (manilastate)
Kill("biotouch.exe")
RegWriteDword ("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TouchFL O 3D","Enabled",0)
RedrawToday
endif
RunWait("\program files\htcaddicts cleanram\htcaddicts_cleanram.exe")
RunWait("\storage card\iGO8\igo8.exe")
Sleep(5000)
Kill("Repllog.exe")
While ( ProcExists("igo8.exe") )
IdleTimerReset
Sleep(500)
EndWhile
If (manilastate)
RegWriteDword ("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TouchFL O 3D","Enabled",1)
RedrawToday
Run("\windows\biotouch.exe")
endif

I have attached the script to run with mort script. I hope others can benfit as well. Good luck and enjoy!

is there a way to determine if tts is working properly without being on an actual route?

[jimmyz]

yes- go to route and click on the "slow car"- it will go through the trip as if you were driving

[samboy]

I don't see that option under the route menu. I did the simulate and fly over and heard nothing. Also, is there a way to access the normal menu while using a skin?

[knlmwq]

All you have to do is go to the area where you select the voice, I believe it is in settings then regional tab. After selecting the desired voice you should here a voice telling you to have a nice day or enjoy your trip. If you here nothing then you probably need to clear memory

oddly enough, the TTS voices worked after initial install but stopped working after the first test. i haven't been able to get it to work since. even after unloading tf3d and using cleanram.

any suggestions?
