I would like to thank Ryar for his support and patience and also all the others who have participate. Thank you all!
After installation of CE5 and CE6, Primo runs OK after each start.
I'll try to install Primo from the link again, as I tried before ...
Pat
Good luck Pat!
Excuse the silly question but....I am running my 900 on firmware 3.0.Can you tell me what would be the advantages of installing the above?There was a big difference after upgrading from 2 to 3,so really what I'm asking is it worth it??
So far as I can tell all it did was disable the gyro and it does not effect performance. If you are not having problems with Primo getting a fix then you should be OK without it.
As far as the redraw being slow, if you use the Primo w/o iGo8 it shouldn't have that problem. I have also noticed slow redraw with the low memory requirement settings in the sys.txt. I removed the settings in the Primo folder and am happy to report no crashes yet while running concurrently with iGo8. Again, they are:
[debug]
max_memory=35000000
reserve_memory=1700000
cache=600000
Can I just overwrite Primo2?
Overwriting should work, or deleting everything inside the Primo2 folder except the run folder and then copying. Again, I am curious. Why is the Feb version of Primo more desirable? The only difference is the one in avicnet has a lighter sys.txt and no skin enabled. The skin of course can be enabled by going to settings, display and selecting GJ Day and Night in Day Skin Theme and Night Skin Theme.
I'm glad it is finally working for f900bt and x910bt users! Thanks to those who contributed to finding a solution for the Primo GPS fix issue.

Thanks Patper, I added your links to post #3.
Hello,
i'm following this topic for quite a long time. First of all I woul like to say "thank you" to ryar and all other users that made this Mod possible.
I tested it on my EUR Avic F900BT and used the steps explained in ryars manual. It works great without any difficulties concerning GPS.
It is a great Mod! Unfortunately there are still some open issues (or bugs). So for me it is not yet suitable for everyday use. I hope that this great work will be continued and that there will be further improvements.

Glad you are enjoying it! Which bugs are you referring to, perhaps I can help fix them?
Hi ryar...
for example it's a pity that primo only works with playing music form the sd card. It would be realy great to use radio while running primo. I don't know if this is a point that will be possible... In addition to this it seems that I have some problems with the volume in primo. During my first tests it seems that the music volume was varying from lower to higher levels?!
He Ryar,
I'm still trying to get the TMC working.... Since you're in Canada it might be hard to test, maybe you can poin the right direction?!

I found a version of Primo which plays TTS over audio despite the source, and also allows keybind commands to work. So far as the varying volume while in Primo, the volume knob is controlling the systems volume as well as Primo's. This can be fixed by commenting out or deleting
xaf = "VOLUMEUP" ;Dial right
xae = "VOLUMEDOWN" ;Dial left
in the sys.txt. I will upload the version which includes working audio and keys this weekend sometime. Unfortunately it is Primo 1.0 and it will take a little getting used to since we are familiar with 1.2 and it's features.
He Ryar,

I think there are some drivers and sys.txt commands missing, wait until I upload the Primo which allows our audio/keys to work this weekend and give it a try.
Ryar
Really appreciate your continued development work with Primo.I for one prefer the primo interface over stock IGO now I am more used to it.Wonder if Chuck has avoided the temptation to have a more intense play with it?Best regards Chuck if you are still around here!
Can someone explain how to load the garmin and tom tom maps, and where to get the maps from?
Thank you ryar...
I will test to modify the settings for volume in the sys.txt. Still hoping that it will even possible to chose every audio source even in Primo 1.2.
By the way... I don't see the speedcams while using primo. I thought Primo takes the speedcam files out of the same folder as IGo does?!?
Well, I will try to move those files to the right folder ( Primo\content\speedcam)

My pleasure, I don't mind sharing any development I have had in hopes that others may also contribute in improving our units.

There is a link on post 19 of this thread where you can find maps. Post #1 will tell you where to put them on your unit.

The speedcam files are not shared, you made the right decision copying them to Primo\content\speedcam.
I have uploaded a release of Primo with working sound regardless of source on post #2 of this thread. Note the TTS volume is controlled by Guidance volume and not Master volume. Hopefully Euro users will have better luck with TMC with this release.
Dear Ryar,
I’d like to ask you. The navigation keeps trying to connect to the internet. Is there a way to turn this off so it does not try to connect all the time?
Otherwise, I’ve successfully installed version of Prima 9.2.0.192885 into Primo 2 and everything works – the TTS – TMC – camera, and so on...
Thank you,
Pat
Ryar
This is great news and makes Primo a lot more user friendly.
My only worry in all of this is that iGO is downgrading to v2, is this right?
Do I need to extract the files in the WinCE6 img? Or do I leave them in the .rar?
They need to be extracted

He Pat,
Can you share your version of igo with workin tmc including teh sys.txt?
thanks!

I dunno, when we switched to 1.2 from 1.1 I really missed some of the options 1.1 had. The home/work button and a friendlier overview mode as well as many more options in the GJ settings... I am kind of glad to have all this back. The only think 1.2 had that this doesn't is TTS pro (Are you sure you want to exit the program?) and it supported more voices. Note version 2.0 is not available yet, but should be available soon.

I agree, with TTS and buttons this integrates Primo into our unit very nicely.

Sure, tap Avic net, settings, connection settings, 3 Italia (or others if you added any). From there scroll down and make sure Autostart is off.
