When
you add 3rd party applications to your TomTom with the NavcoreV7
operating system, many of the Navcore7 menu icons get a bit
messed up when the 3rd party application adds its own icon to the main
icon menu.
For example:
-- You lose the "HELP ME!" icon --
-- You get a
double "Guided Tours" icon --
-- Some of the icons are in different orders --
This
cool MenuTT program will add an icon to your main
menu
that allows you to jump back to the Default TomTom menus and then allows
you to jump back into the 'custom' menu where
their icon is installed....this is all 'on the fly' and you don't need
to connect to a computer and you don't need to
power off your TomTom!
The program that performs this task is called MenuTT and is located at
tomtomheaven.com:
NOTE:
If you have generated a custom TomTom.mnu file and want to
use the MenuTT program, please use
the
following page for
instructions on how to install and use MenuTT with a custom menu:

you are using this MenuTT program on the default,
or non-custom TomTom menu, please
follow the instructions below:
1)
To install MenuTT, simply copy the directories and files (that you
downloaded from TomTomHeaven for the MenuTT
program) directly to your
TomTom's root
folder. The very first time you want to use the menu, may need to turn
your
TomTom off and then on again to boot
with the menu icon installed.

2) To
use the MenuTT program

should hear a
little
alert sound

TomTom Menus

application icons and the MenuTT icon:
a)
Click on your Browse Map icon:
b)
Click on the Navigator icon:

you'll see the MenuPerso Icon....simply click on it.

After about 10 seconds, you'll hear the alert sound and the TomTom will
re-boot to your custom menu.
CUSTOMIZING
THE ICONS AND THE MENU TITLES:
To Modify
the Title text and icon shown for the MenuTT program, follow these
instructions:
1) Using your favorite text editor, modify the MenuTT.cap file in the /sdkregistry folder.
It's contents should
look like the following:
Version|100|
AppName|MenuTT.sh|
AppPath|/mnt/sdcard/opt/bin/|
AppMainTitle|MenuTT|
AppPort|2001|
COMMAND|CMD||MenuTT.bmp|TTMenu|
2) You want to edit the LAST
line to include
the Text you want displayed underneath the icon:
Original:
COMMAND|CMD||MenuTT.bmp|TTMenu|
Modified:
COMMAND|CMD||MenuTT.bmp|TomTom Default Menu|
3)
Save the new modified MenuTT.cap
file in the /sdkregistry
folder, it should look like this:

AppName|MenuTT.sh|
AppPath|/mnt/sdcard/opt/bin/|
AppMainTitle|MenuTT|
AppPort|2001|
COMMAND|CMD||MenuTT.bmp|TomTom Default Menu|
4) To change the icon being
used for the
TTMenu icon,:
- Select any
image you would like
- Resize the
image using your favorite paint program to 75 x 48 pixels
- Save the
resulting image as MenuTT.bmp (be sure it is a BMP file, not
JPG
or GIF)
- Overwrite
the existing MenuTT.bmp
file that is in the /sdkregistry/
folder on the TomTom
- I chose This
icon:
