Thread: VR on android Pie SOLVED ????

It has to do with this topic because it’s related to VR and online services, which are both claimed to be working in the OP…

I have been searching for a LONG time and can’t find a solution so figured I would ask…

Thank you for the feedback. I'm not sure I understand what you mean in saying I cleared the cache required for services to function, can you elaborate on that? Also am not sure what you mean about getting cache from another device or app?

What is puzzling here is that previously when this all worked flawlessly I never modified the sys.txt that came with the latest pongo skin (linked previously). Everything just worked, without any modification whatsoever. Now it doesn't, and I have all the same files and followed the same procedure to install the app and the skin that I did the first time. Nonetheless, I have searched and tried every sys.txt TMC settings that I can find, as you recommended, and none of them work either. I'm about ready to just give up. I can't understand why I'm having all this trouble now when the first time everything was plug and play and worked beautifully...

I understand better what you are saying about the cache. I should have been clearer, after doing my factory reset, I did completely clear everything and try a new installation, and still this problem persists. That is why I’m perplexed since it was a clean install and I never had to modify the Pongo sys.txt previously for TMC and weather to work. Allow me to give the procedure I followed for installation, perhaps you can spot a mistake I’m making.

1) Clear storage and cache for iGO and uninstall the iGO app from android settings
2) Delete everything in the iGO_Israel folder (including my save folder) so it is EMPTY
3) Copy original installation files for Nextgen (content, ux, data.zip, etc.) [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
4) Rename application original installation “ux” folder to “ux.old” and “data.zip” to “data.old.zip”
5) Copy “ux” folder, “data.zip” and “sys.txt” from Pongo latest to iGO_Israel folder
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
6) Copy Content folder from Pongo latest to merge with original application Content folder (I did this rather than REPLACE the original Content folder as it did not work when I tried that, so I just added what was new from the Pongo Content folder to it and it seemed to work)
7) Install iGO app using the APK from this thread OP (non-SD version, no.make.sys)

Something else I’ll mention is that I noticed some differences between various TMC sys.txt settings I found here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
In some cases, the server address, profile_name, and some other things are in quotations “ “ and other cases they are not. I’m not sure if this is a relevant difference or if it works either way and this is just a personal preference in syntax? From what I gather it seems as though the way to work thru this is to try all of the profile names one by one, but do I also need to try with and without “profile_2” or “profile_(some other number)”? Then some settings have upd.enabled=0, some =1, and others don’t include that line at all. Just seems like there are too many possible combinations to practically try. I am really trying to learn this stuff, I apologize for my ignorance…

Lastly, this is the only place I have been able to find sys.txt that is mentioned specifically for USA (2nd post): [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
This does not work for me. The settings I had previously that were working are those in the Pongo sys.txt which I didn’t touch, but don’t work presently (assuming my problem is not elsewhere). As I have been trying these I simply exit iGO (using the menu exit), edit the sys.txt, save it, and then reopen iGO to check if I have traffic events. Perhaps there is something more there that needs to be done when trying the different TMC codes in sys.txt?

I truly appreciate your time and efforts. Apologies for the long post, just trying to give as much detail as possible. I will give PAL a try, as you recommended, in the meantime.

So are you saying I am doing everything correctly except I need to use the APK at the link you provided? I have seen that thread the only reason I did not use that APK is because the one posted in this thread is more recent and claims to also have online services working AND VR. The OP in this thread even references the thread you linked for historicality, so I thought the APK here was the latest and greatest. Wouldn't the one you linked not have VR fixed like the APK in this thread?

Moreover this doesn't explain why THIS THREAD's APK worked for me previously...I'm really trying here!
