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:



If 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.


    a) First thing you'll notice is you now have 4 pages to your main menu:



    b) On the 3rd page you'll notice the double "Guided Tours" icon



    c) Scroll to the last page and you'll see the MenuTT Icon:




2)  To use the MenuTT program
        a) C
lick on the MenuTT icon and wait about 10 seconds,
        b) You should hear a little alert sound

        c) The system will restart and you now are back to the main, default TomTom Menus



3)   To get back to the custom menu that contains your 3rd party application icons and the MenuTT icon:
        a)  Click on your Browse Map icon:



        b)  Click on the Navigator icon:



        c)  Scroll to the last page and 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:
                                                Version|100|
                                                AppName|MenuTT.sh|

                                                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:  

                5) The result looks like this
