yup... found it before i checked your post had to check back and forth between the top 4 codes and bottom and finally saw that in the bottom there should be no "!" in there. Everything is all good now! love this mod skin even better then the 2.0 ones

whoops sorry about that. thank you for the correction, I had not been out to my truck yet. I edited the original post as to not confuse anymore people.

Nevermind - I thought you put the quickmenu mod in the OP, not down on page 4. I got it now. Thanks.

Keeper do you plan to add the speed cams to your data.zip? just curious if you're eventually going to, if so I will just wait until you do it :D

Here's Keepers 7/29/09 mod with the speedcams added. Its ONLY the data.zip - you need to put the speedcam.txt files and edit the sys.txt yourself, but the important parts in the data.zip are updated. Took me 4 seconds to do.

 

Here's a link:

The instuctuons to add this are already posted... You could have done it yourself. I would advice reading through the speed cam post and finding the .spud file and put it in as well. Has speed traps already on map and pretty accurate for my region.

Yea I know how to do it, i'm a bit busy these days so I was just asking if he planned to otherwise I would do it myself. Sorry for asking

I did all the work for you here

http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=26108

 

I made two versions one for the f700 which does not have MSN and one which is just the normal keeper mod. I tried to make this as simple as i could so i put everything you need inside the zip files. All you should have to do is move the files/subfolders from the zip to your unit and you will have keepers mod, speedcam mod and, warning message mod all installed.

Hey All-

 

So I am trying to mod keepers file with the speed limit sign and current speed mod found here:

 

http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=138989

 

I like to use this because my speedo is off by a couple MPH. This keeps me honest when a cop is around. :)

 

I have gotten to step 3 and I am noticing that the code is different. Is this because of the difference between 2.0 and 3.0? I am not sure this is going to work just plopping the code in as they say due to the version.

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT: I think this may be because Keeper removed everything already! I think I am going to skip to step 4 and work from there. :)

Hmmm maybe I should just start with yours. I have an F90 but dont use the MSN sub for now and I could use the speed cam stuff. :)

 

How do you guys get the X and Y coordinates? I am thinking about moving the speed limit sign to the right side to make sure there is room for Keepers drop down menu. I just don't know what to change the position to.

HAHA this is what I was about to work on as well, My speedo is also off a few MPH(rim size) and I like to be able to double check my speed easily

Hopefully I will have something soon for you! I just need to find out how to get the X and Y coordinates so the signs don't overlap with Keepers menu's.

Could you setup your computer to emulate the avic and test the mods on the PC, I used to do that when I first joined the site and was working on changing images in the image.res

 

so you can throw the code into the files and then play around with the coordinates to get it in a good spot

This is probably done with VMWare? I will do a search.

being in canada.... well Montreal to be exact, the speed cams dont work well.. there are places on the map where there are no cams at all.. beside I don't really care for them on the map anyways, some places have too uch too...... is there a way to turn them off?.. I can live with them, but if there is a option to turn them off it would be nice... BTW this is a awsome mod.... too bad you could not make a "update to firmware 3.0, with keepers mod all in one unzip to sdcard" lol now THAT I would pay money for hhehehehehehe

Posted Jul 31, 2009 · 00:23 UTC#92

For anyone interested here is the DATA.zip for Keepers mods with only the quickstart menu.

Posted Jul 31, 2009 · 00:24 UTC#93

wheres the zip?

Posted Jul 31, 2009 · 00:27 UTC#94

Sorry, but the file won't up load. If you need help figuring it out send me a PM.

anyone else having an issue where in the 3rd "layer" of icons - they all just open POI search? (ie - the satelite icon opens the poi search, not the satellite info)

If you would read the part where he wrote down what each does you would understand they are only for poi searches! It searches for poi around cursor, gps address, etc.

I don't know how i missed that... I'm usually really thorough in reading these things. Guess I jumped to conclusions :-) Thanks anyway for putting me straight.

I have been running one of keeper's mods on my 900bt for a few months (2.0), and I must say that I like it a lot. I also picked up some theme changes by god knows who that presents different menu icons. I usually enjoy modding things myself, I just do not have the time to tinker with these things at the moment. I will probably wait for another month before I grab keeper's mod. I am sure he will be doing some more tweaking to suit his desires. I particularly liked all of the different map color schemes included in keeper's 2.0 mod.

Almost all of the code for the quick menu is in navigatemap_800_480.ui and right near the top so you should be able to find it pretty easy. All of the images i have created are in data\ui_pioneer\800_480 and have a k_ in front of them.

 

Good luck modding and please post any cool changes you come up with. Oh and you should not have to decompress any of the images I used.

 

Thank you very much for info! Unfortunately I'm having issues with TMC in my unit, so I'll have to revert back to OEM v2 software to make sure if problem is in software or hardware itself, in that case I can get it repaired as my Avic is still under warranty. I will continue with V3 software when TMC issue is solved.

You have to look into your Sys.txt

 

first line should be

 

[device]

type="PIONEER746EW"

 

I assume your device thinks it is an US model at the moment

 

Had the same Problem when implementing US mods under 2.0

 

let me know if it works
