no, actually there is quickgpsfix already installed on my device. do you know where i can find maybe new version of it (any link)?

I cannot use tthome because whenever i do this it changes something with system files on my ttgo and later sometimes it cannot bootup - repeatedly restarts itself :( my tthome is already patched as well as ttsystem on my device. I used such cracked ttgo many years. is there something wrong with software tthome? for instance there i cannot use my ttgo view in tthome- the map is not recognised, so gray screen is shown in ttgo view. the rest sims to function well: tthome wants to update eg. mapshare and installed itself new its update. when yesterday i connected ttgo dev and launched tthome, it updated itself to newer version. after that my ttgo rebooted well without problems, but tthome changed something in ttgo system files because i was asked to set language, speaker, and some other settings, i do not remember now. after this my ttgo dev lost for hours gps signal. i put my ttgo to usb in pc again to format it and restore all from previous prerformed backup copy. not once this way helped me against troubles with ttgo dev. but, this time, however my ttgo rebooted ok, but it still could not catch gps signal. i thought: maybe the battery was to low, so, i plugged ttgo to car's main power. i launched ttgo under the main power and still there was lack of gps signal. i left to charge ttgo. later it worked and find satelites signals. since that time it has been working :)

any comments is welcome here :)

Ok please make shure you have the latest of tthome installed and run it, tthome will not change any of your files without your permission, DO NOT accept to upgrade your software to the latest officiall, but DO accept any mapshare + quickfixgps fix's it offers you, your problem should be fixed then,

appologise for this post by post. but i'd like to add my last observation why tthome doesnt want to launch my ttgo dev emulation in its window view.

before all, i had put Navcore 8.392.1909 to my ttgo dev and then map 845.2645 of Western and Central Europe, which is only compatibile for navcores versions from 8.20x up. somehow tthome soft on pc remembers my older navcore version (the original one v7.903) and whenever i connect my ttgo device to pc via usb port, tthome changes down my ttgo navcore version, that i can see by viewing ttgo.bif file. this may be reason that my map 845.2645 isnt shown on tthome's navigator panel view. this is reason i have to format my ttgo dev and restore from backups. without this when i reboot ttgo it doesnt recognize any map - gray screen without map.

how to synchronize ttgo system navcore to have the same in tthome?

TomTom home will only upgrad/downgrade to the latest officiall navcore for your device if you tell it to, you must not accept the application download, But here is how you can configure tthome to work with no errors with your new unofficiall navcore

[color="Red"]Ok to fix the wrong version error you need to do the following [/color]
Change lines 9 + 10 in the ttgo.bif to read Latest officiall navcore for your device (if you want to know the figures please ask and i will tell you)
ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=[color="Red"]????[/color]
ApplicationVersion[color="Red"]=????[/color]

3.Save the file as ttgo.bak
4.Reboot your device
5.Connect to tthome and that error should not show up now

@ djc151084
do you mean my last official ver are like those being stated in my first post: ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=7903, ApplicationVersion=9183 ?
I already have these numbers in my ttgo.bif and the same are in ttgo.bak which also is in my device. does it means in my ttgo dev is no longer the navcore i downloaded and installed earlier? what shall i do to get it back and have my newer navecore untached (shall be: ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=8392, ApplicationVersion=1909)? need i install again from scratches?

ths for your patience and hands :)

The numbers in your ttgo.bif on your device is the current installd navcore. Latest officiall means the latest navcore that tomtom offer you through theyer servers , what device do you have ?

Ok if you want to upgrade your navcore, from v7 then i reccomend 8.412 .cab file and SE ttsystem folder. see links below, then perform the fix i stated above to remove error message from tthome , then tell me if you can get a gps fix.
