Tired of "ABC" keyboard in IGuidance? iGQwerty - Page 6

rrgcsfb · 11-18-2006, 02:58 PM

lostreception - sorry to hear about your situation and thanks for this great hack. This is a no pressure post.

IGQWERTY works like a champ on my W2K PC, but for the life of me, I can't get it to work on a fresh install of XP SP2, prior to running MS updates. I get the same issues posted earlier (street address cuts off at 99, defaluts back Alabama, can't enter street name)

Let me state upfront, I am not a programmer in any shape, manner or form. At best, I can write basic batch files. That said, I used the Dependency Walker utility to try and identify which components are being used by the modified UMPC exe and IGQWERTY exe under W2K, in hopes of porting them over to XP. http://www.dependencywalker.com/

After identifying the necessary DLLs which all live under System32 in W2K, I copied them to the C:\Program Files\iNav\iGuidance folder on my XP PC and tried to register them with regsvr32. Some registered and some didn't. iGQWERTY also resides in this folder. Quite some time ago, a developer friend told me that an exe will look for its dependencies in the folder it resides, then check the system folder then path (or path then system folder - I don't recall). Either way, it is supposed to check the folder it resides in first. In this case, C:\Program Files\iNav\iGuidance. Unfortunately, this made no difference. In fact, iGuidance locked up after I clicked OK to the nag screen.

Can somebody that has this working on XP run the Dependency Walker on the 2 exe's and share their findings? Perhaps we can find a version difference on 1 or more of the DLLs which is causing this to break? Attached are my findings under W2K and XP.

This util is too good not to get working under XP!

Thanks

"Main file updating failed, operation canceled!
Main file Data integrity (CRC) error."

Anyone else getting this error when you run the patcher?

I'm running XP SP2 iGuidance 3.0.

Hey scotty i recievd that error when I tried to apply the patcher to my iguidanceUMPC.exe ..(that was already modified with reshacker)
I then went back to the original untouched igudanceUMPC.exe and tried the patcher and it worked for me.
Now i just have the xp bug as some others do.. where it skips over me putting in my street number...inside of Mobile Impact and without Mobile impact running.

hey guess im not dead yet LOL (small amount of sarcasm) i have a fresh xp up and running and will begin working on qwerty this week

Was wondering if anyone came out with the QWERTY keyboard utility for installation on a WindowsCE based device such as the Mio??

Please let me know and if yes, send me a link.

Thank you,
Robin

Hi! Sorry: .... there is a way for run i iG-(Q)werty on the iguidance europe version?

lostreception · 01-06-2007, 01:22 PM

it currently only supports version 3.0 and still has a few bugs as for the europe version with the correct reshackin it might work just fine

give it a try and post back

@djrobin Ive never developed anything for winCE or mobile etc im not quite sure where to start with that

Is it possible to have the qwerty keyboard on the normal iGuidance.exe?

megagoo · 03-03-2007, 09:22 AM

maybe im not using it right but im having a problem. it seems to work fine except that when i it asks for city, i put it in. the city is "metairie" (state is LA if anyone cares). i start typing in meta and it jumps to it so i hit "ok". at this point i can see it VERY quickly jump to ABBEVILLE in the list (im assuming is the first city in the list) and hit ok. so then when i go to type ion the street name, im in the wrong city. everythings abbeville. i shut down ig-q and it worked like it should

also when im typing in the street name, even if it is in the wrong city, it still says "enter city" but im clearly in the street selection part still

im running the bluedevil skin in road runner with iguidance 3 na

thanks

really? wow. i didnt see anything about it not being compatible anywhere. i found out about it through the digitalfx skin and the author didnt say anything there either and i assumed xp was the majority of what people were using.

its kinda hit and miss its a known issue on some machines i just cant seem to determine what the issue is (.net, dll's, skins, ???)
what im going to do is develop it on an xp machine this time around and that should help
