Thread: iGO NextGen v9.35.2.252374_(24.Feb.2021) (WORLD)(armv8a/aarch64)

On my non-rooted Android 11 phone it's not possible to write to /<internal storage>/Android/data with regular file explorers or adb.
While there are workarounds, I decided to see if I could modify the apk to use "regular" internal storage.

So here we go:

• support for custom sys.txt
• support for regular internal phone storage (/sdcard or /storage/emulated/0) storage
• no longer requires workarounds to write to /<internal storage>/Android/data/com.nng.igo.primong.igoworld

To install:

• if you already have iGO NextGen v9.35.2.252374 installed: move directory /<internal storage>/Android/data/com.nng.igo.primong.igoworld/files to /<internal storage>/iGO_World, then de-install app
• if you start fresh: create /<internal storage>/iGO_World with all files from [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] that used to go in /<internal storage>/Android/data/com.nng.igo.primong.igoworld
• add extra maps, poi's, licenses etc.
• download and unzip attached file (password protected)
• add extracted sys.txt to /<internal storage>/iGO_World (mandatory) and customize (optional, e.g. change fullscreen to 0 to see status bar)
• add additional licenses (note: on an encrypted Android 11 device, installation failed when additional licenses were added before install - not sure why/logcat can't be read)
• install apk via adb or file manager

Spoiler: igoworld.zip

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] (pwd = GpSPoWeR)

Since I am a newbie in these matters, there are a few things I have not (yet) achieved to do:

• allow for dynamic (change of) location in an easy way (initial location needs to be "iGO_World", need to modify apk to change location)
• test external sd cards (I don't have a 64-bit phone/tablet with external card to test with)
• enable/test secondary root (so you can share content etc. between versions)
• eliminate warning about failed play store verification (does not happen when installed via "adb install")

Everything seemed to work fine except online traffic, but that was also not working in my original installation (likely missing license).
EDIT: does not seem to be the license - at least 8 countries, including mine, show as active. It briefly connects and then becomes inactive.. If anyone has the solution, I am happy to include it in the default sys.txt.
EDIT2: Additional fix for some Android 11 devices with enhanced security + removed "dpi 480" in custom sys.txt. Sorry for the inconvenience.
EDIT3: Would appreciate some feedback whether it is working for you.

I have updated the zip file in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] with the licenses I use. There are just a few extra compared to the original ones (IMHO many licenses = slower loading times) , and probably only a few of them are really needed depending on your region.

With these installed: WORKS

• 3D buildings/landmarks (.3dc/.3dl): HERE 2019 Q2 (haven't found anything more recent that works)
• Address points (.fpa): HERE 2020.Q4
• Driver alerts (.fda): HERE 2020.Q4
• Address points (.fpa): HERE 2020.Q4
• Alert points (.spc): HERE 2019.Q2 (more recent does not work, speedcam .txt files not tested but likely working)
• Elevations (.dem): included
• Maps (.fbl): HERE 2020.Q4
• Places - basic/truck (.poi): HERE 2020.Q4
• Places - extended (.poi): HERE 2019.Q2
• Preprocessed Road Network (.hnr): Full Europe Easy/Fast/Short HERE 2020 Q4
• Preprocessed Road Network (.hnr): Full Europe Green HERE 2019 Q2
• Smart route profiles (.fsp): HERE 2020 Q4
• Traffic service (.tmc): at least one or two for each country (~50% of all tmc files)
• Truck restrictions (.ftr): HERE 2020.Q4

DOES NOT WORK

• Junction view NG (it worked at some point in time, must have removed a license by mistake)
• Preprocessed Road Network (.hnr): Full Europe Economical neither HERE 2020 Q4 or 2019 Q2 (kind of strange...)
• Preprocessed Road Network (.hnr): Most Western Europe HERE 2020 Q4 (except SHORT) --> requires WEU licenses instead of FEU I believe
• Places - fuel type (.poi): neither HERE 2019.Q2 or 2020 Q4 but the map shows plenty of regular fuel stations
• Online traffic service : it looks like something disables it, maybe an add-on ux or skin can restore it.

NEEDS MORE TESTING

• Truck support: it's definitely possible to define trucks and/or trailers tonnage/weight/height/cargo-type limits/restrictions and routing is clearly different for e.g. a 40ton truck versus a car.
  In most cases, the (short) routing avoided city roads with restrictions compared to the same route with a regular car but in two cases I managed to receive an illegal route via the alternatives (drive in city that restricts tonnage to 7.5 ton for pass-through traffic) menu.
  Hence, for truckers: not fully reliable, double check the itinerary!

If you managed to enable additional functions, it would be great to include which feature gets enabled with (hopefully a short list of) extra licenses.

@ecotje, thank you!
But Smart route profiles (.fsp): HERE 2020 Q4 for Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia does not work
And Address points (.fpa): HERE 2020.Q4 - Montenegro doesn't work (Serbia, Bosnia works fine)

@rxv, with yours 414 license iGO crashed.

One more thing, how to make it work user.upoi in this iGO (v9.35.2.252374)???
I tried to move user.upoi to the appropriate location (iGO_World/save/profiles/01/users/00), but doesn't work. There is "user_A.upoi" and "user_A.upoi.cks"
I tried to rename "user.upoi" to "user_A.upoi" but doesn't work.

So far, only these are compatible with the program and maps Here 2020 Q4, the rest of the proposed ones can be safely thrown away, and for TomTom 2020.12 only for now Mega_Free_1_Year_Update_FEU_TA_2020_Q4.
P.S: If for each new release of maps it will be necessary to select licenses from the available ones, then it is better to forget about this program right away, until there is someone who will cure it of this ailment

Cause: this is an error in the SYS.txt!
[interface]
save_cheksum = 0
correct is:
[interface]
save_checksum = 0


!* it is better to delete the save folder before restarting so that everything is written correctly
