Thread: DSA patcher (latest in post #1)

24April2014

change log:-

New: This is the version that might work with two remotes at once.


Could be checked out like this: connect the BT remote to device (go x00/x10) first; then use the RF remote too (but not the other way around).
If it does not work like that, at least the remotes could be used alternatively, as per the previous version of dsa...

change log:-

New: Remote code revisited...


For lack of feedback on dual remote use, another version that might support them concurrently (BT remote first).

To disable the BT remote control chatter, while preserving the RF remote control availability, apply the skins/ttn trick

change log:-
New: Code clean-up.

Sorry for so many versions, it's stable now, hopefully.

All TT sources went to directory dsa.app/Contents/Resources/Java/tomtom/src .

Source btserver.zip is not cleaned yet, a fixed release will follow shortly...

3May2014

change log:-

New: almost nothing... just the BT Console menu item is updated.


I am happy to confirm that both the BT & RF remotes will work together, provided that the BT remote is connected first.
Re-enabling bluetooth, or powering off and on the device will disconnect any remote, and thus one could switch between remotes.
The remote control capability could be disabled entirel. However, the RF remote will still be usable.

---
The previous dsa version has got the very same btserver, and only the BT Console menu item has been revisited.

---
As a reminder, only GO x00/x10 devices will support the RF remote, while the BT remote is accepted only by BT capable devices. For example, a GO 910 is capable of using both remotes, simultaneously, while a GO 720 will work with the BT remote only.
Last detail, use any of the shipped kernels (with switches MB, K50, CF) in order to activate the RF remote control.

change log:-

: BT modem baud rate increased to 460800.


It's not much, but previously it was four times lower (115200).

New: nothing worth mentioning.

change log:-

New: networking via BT/DUN in emulated modes x40/50 (24, 36, 37,...,?).


This is work in progress, an ugly hack, but it works!
Be prepared to have a good data plan... I might have exhausted mine already.
There is no Wireless OFF button yet. Use the x00/10/20/30 modes as before, after checking it out.

For testing purposes, the "set another serial number" coding is included (in skins/ttn, read the included comment). It seems that a QJ prefixed serial does wonders for those in a location supported by TT.

I hope to get better log data soon, to organize the protocol more efficiently. I couldn't have advanced this far without the help of two native x40 device users whom I'll nominate if OK with them (please let me know).

When switching between modes (e.g. x30 to x40 and back), take care of the so called "Information Sharing" status, which flips without human intervention, making connection to TT live services impossible, until, for example, the LIVE/Weather item is selected - then you may reset it to "yes", to have the LIVE services running.
It's similar to the BT enabling status, it needs adjustment between modes, too.

The BT networking is determined in an identical mode as for the QuickGPSfix menu item: one needs the BT wireless setup done correctly in a lower mode (e.g. x30) in order to use it in the x40/50 modes, which do not have the BT setup option (except for handsfree).

Understandably, native GPRS devices are unaffected.

For all, the fallback version is dsa-24May2014 still. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

As usually, sources are in directory dsa.app/Contents/Resources/Java/tomtom/src/.


31May2014

change log (from DSA himself):-

New: networking via BT/DUN in emulated modes x40/50 (24, 36, 37,...,?), done properly.

A Toggle GPRS extra menu item disables/enables wireless networking in the emulated x40/50 modes, persistently over restarts.

Updated Help and hidden Toggle GPRS menu item in non x40/50 modes, next time...


1June2014

change log (from DSA himself):-

New: Finalized networking via BT/DUN in emulated x40/50 modes.


With Toggle (fake) GPRS menu item, and an updated Help.
With arbitrary serial number, see file skins/ttn.

It took us more than five years to reach this point, I hope it was worth it.


2June2014

change log (from DSA himself):-

New: for convenience, the new serial number should be entered into first line of file called serialnumber on the main storage.


It's a Windows file, edit the 12 char new serial with notepad, on first line.
(ignore all previous dsa versions, this is final for today )


3Jun2014

change log (from DSA himself):-

New: A few adjustments, for convenience.

The following files are renamed to have a .txt extension, the notepad default; they remain Windows text files:

skins/reskin.txt
serialnumber.txt
motd.txt

(ttn is unchanged, but still a Windows text file)

File serialnumber.txt should be created by user on main storage, with notepad, to hold a new device serial, different from the default device serial.
If the file does not exist, TT falls back to its default serial number.

And, this version (date!) is still ahead of times
