Thread: Missing Speed Cameras, and Event List

Thanks again for your reply.

I am now in the process of carrying out your instructions. I have a couple of further questions/observations though:
1. where I'm making the folders in the iGO folder within the data folder, do I copy the whole content of each folder with the exception of the content folder, of the matching folder on the external sd card?
2. are those now duplicated folders to be removed from the external sd card and if so what of the remaining content within the 'content' folder?
3. I don't have dictionaries in my content file.
4. Do data.zip & sys.txt remain on the external sd as well?

Thanks again.

**Update**.

I have done the above but not deleted the copied folders as yet.

On starting igo I get an error message: "Missing or incomplete folder: Not a zip archive" - no indication what's missing or incomplete.

**Further Update"

After the above, I thought I'd check the ext4 partition contents. I was amazed to find the carefully crafted iGO folder has been reduced to a 1kb file!! Looks like Kit Kat must have had a break and eaten all the folder!!

What to do now?

The content folder on the internal (ext4) only contains what I have listed below and all the rest of the content information stays on the external SD. (dictionaries is not important)

iGO
-content in this folder the following information - global_cfg, lang, speedcams, tmc, userdata
-debug
-font
-gfx
-license
-save
-ui_android
-ux
data.zip
sys.txt

On the external SD card you can either rename iGO to iGo_backup and create new folder called "Addons" or rename the iGO folder to "Addons" and have the following information in this folder;

Addons/Content
building
dem
map
phoneme
poi
scheme
skin
voice

Hope this is now clear instructions to carry out.

Thanks again for clarifying the instructions.

I did as you have said again but sadly Kit Kat doesn't like the creation of the iGO folder and once again has converted it to a 1kb file. There must be something in the software that deletes non standard programmes/data.

I could get iGO to run but I had to change the folder name on the 'external' SD back to iGO. However, it went through the whole set up process like a new installation and each time I restart I have to do this probably due to the modifications of the sys.txt. It doesn't retain any history either. Also it is still running without the speedcams & events as before. I have also noticed that although screen rotation works for Kit Kat, iGO doesn't go into a landscape view on screen rotation-it just remains on its side. This didn't happen when I used Jellybean.

Perhaps if we could find out why the iGO folder on the internal SD is being deleted fix it this would then allow iGO to run as you expected.

Regards.

**Update**

Having recopied to the ext4 partition, I removed the SD card for my PC, reinserted and checked the DATA subdirectory. All that I'd copied was still present.

However, on putting back in the phone, restarting Android and then removing the SD card, on reinserting and checking on the PC, the iGO data had again been converted to a 1kb file. I'm now going to try and write protect the iGO directory and will report back.

**Further Update**

Making the iGO file has kept it. However, on trying to load igo I got the same result as before it not being found. I then re examined the iGO folder on the ext4 partition. It was still there but all its contents had disappeared and in their place are 2 new files, com.android.dialer.xml & com.android.dialer_preferences.xml.
