TomTom Celebrity Voices

[fijiman]

Thought I would do a small write up on the process of installing celebrity voices in tomtom app for iPhone as there seem to be a lot of different ways.....




Download your celebrity voices and save to your desktop for convenience..
SSH into your iphone navigate to Var>Mobile>Application....
N.B - In the folder "application" you may find all your apps listed as "Code" numbers. If you use iFunbox you can easily locate the TomTom app...a fully paid/cracked version of iFile will also help locate the app.
In the "Documents" folder delete the "premium_voices" folder and replace with your downloaded version of premium_voices found on your desktop.
In the ""Country".app"( where country=UK & Ireland or WEurope.app etc etc) folder delete the "premium_voices" folder and replace with your downloaded version of premium_voices found on your desktop.

Exit and ReBoot

To select you "voice" in TomTom go to Menu>Change Settings>Voice>Celebrity Voices

This is for users who is having trouble, hope this help you guys.

Instructions:
1) Copy "premium_voices.rar" to the following directy (SSH, iPhone Explorer, whatever you like):

User/Applications/TomTom.app(should be a folder of letters and numbers)/US-Canada.app(or whichever version you have)

2) Using iFile, unarchieve the "premium_voices.rar", once completed, double-check "premium_voices" folder to see if files are there.

3) Using iFile, Copy "premium_voices" folder, once copied go to the following folder:

User/Applications/TomTom.app(should be a folder of letters and numbers)/Documents

4) In this folder you shall see another folder with the same name called "premium_voices", go ahead and paste over this folder (Overwrite All)

5) Once this is done, make sure to close the TomTom App, if its already open in the multi-tasking bar. Launch TomTom, go to:

Change Settings/Voice/Celebrity Voices

6) In here you can choose the new voices, select one and make sure it plays back a preview. If it does you have done it correctly

7) If it DOES NOT, playback a preview of the new voice, go back to ifile and redo steps 3 and 4. Then go back into the TomTom app and retry the voice sample, you may have to uncheck and select another voice and then recheck the celebrity voice to get it to playback.

***Worse Case***

8) If it does not work at step 7, delete all files within the folders you changed or simply uninstall the TomTom app and then reinstall. After this start the whole process over again.

Driving with Homer is funny... You add 5 min to your journey just to hear him correct you.

Anyone got any links to any Family Guy voices ?

[Jo-Jo]

works a treat i found the star wars ones but cant find any more anyone got a link to some more celeb voices ?

[drawflex]

someone be kind enough to PM me a .nzb / .torrent for the voice pack please ? got hold of one pack but i'm guessing it's not structured correctly as i'm getting no joy.

QUESTION : Are the voices for the iphone version of tomtom the same as all other voices ? Are there any premium voices available that read street names aloud ? (like the built-in 'advanced' voices) ?

Not exactly true. You have to root the phone, and install gingerbread, then some other stuff to do what iphone does. Although I do agree that you need to JB to get all you need from an iphone.

I too would like the celebrity voices if possible please.

ah never said you didnt have to root androids etc to make THEM better... howver you DO have to jb an iphone to make it do what droids do as standard for instance.. appear as mass storage via usb and drag and drop files...bluetooth...etc
