Diaftia as far as I know it has nothing to do with your MOD. It was something I noticed right after I updated to the official 3.0 (I hadn't found your MOD yet). Now that I think about things, on ver.3.0 it seems to me that house locations are off by about 200ft. where before on ver.2.0 & 2.006 they seemed to be right on. I think its something that happened on Pioneer's end. Maybe we'll be lucky & they will come up with a fix (holding breath).

This might help with the POI buttons. These are the codes I had before I put the gurjon zip on mine.

 

These are also in the zip I posted before going to 3.0. They all worked in 3.0, you'll need to re-paint the background.













 

It's not going to be a straight cut and paste as your x and y values are most likely not the same. Hope it helps.

 

Looking at the behavior of things with the original setup I think I had things right for the around cursor search/screen. The others were definitely off but I think this one was right. This code:

      

 

That brings up a screen that has the POI's around cursor search. It looks like it doesnt work at first though. You have to touch the screen someplace to start the search. Before I had the 0 a 1 in the above code. That made it so that searching came up with no locations. Now that its a 1 you get the screen and have to select a location just like the original setup. It would be nice if the search started automatically, but given the original setup doesn't do this automatically, I guess its by design. At least it works though. I am going to put it back this way and then add a new zip to the first page with this and the tilt/zoom mod in 3D.

Diaftia,

Is it possiple to add your mod package while keeping pioneer's orginal look (i.e. street names on the bottom, orginal buttons on the upper right and orginal in rout boxes on the left) ?

Thanks,

Bryan

You would pretty much be going through all mods and scrubbing the whole thing finding out what you could port over. The quick menu is clearly marked so you could bring it and the images over and it should work.

 

In a nutshell, you could but it would be a lot of work (unless you just bring the menu over).

Diaftia, this is by far the best mod I've used in my short time as a F90BT owner. The time & effort you put into grafting things together and updating problems are definitely appreciated big time. After the official update to 3.0 I thought the improvements were pretty good but I still wanted more...then I discovered your MOD! This has given me everything I wished I had when I first got the unit. Thanks again for all your efforts. Looking forward to any further updates. Now if only someone could figure out what happened to the street names in 3D unless you are really zoomed in. (Pioneer, are you listening? How did you manage to break this?)

 

Hey tmac-

 

Thanks for the great feedback! Its always good to know you are putting something together that other people are getting some benefit from.

 

I noticed this the 3D name thing too.. I am even thinking that there are less now than there was before. It could be because of the new map position. Not sure if this is because of my mods or if there is anything that can be done about it. If anyone knows the secret to getting the street names to show I am open for suggestions. I have tried the bubble mod (where they show up with a white background). Granted it does look good it doesn't bring more names up than what are already showing. In this case really none at all.

The only way for me to get street name is to set the smart zoom at 200/300, also different scheme give you more street label than other i dont no why but it does.

10. Go back to your SD card explorer window hit the back button at top of the screen and then go to the folder titled "Copy and Paste in APL2-iGo-Content-Speedcam" and open it

11. Scroll and Copy 3 files here Red_Light_Camera_us.txt, Speed_Trap.txt, and SpeedcamUpdates.spud

12. Now switch back to your Flashdisk explorer window and now click on Content, Speedcams EDIT - PASTE - YES ALL (Really, you made that backup?)

 

Alex -

 

Incredible mods - haven't tested all aspects, but so far it looks phenomenal! I did have a question though.

 

When I went to copy these files into APL2-iGo, I did not see folders for "content" or "speedcams" do i have to create these folders, or if they reside in the root of APL2-iGo it will still work?

 

Thanks! :mrgreen:

Maybe take another look, Inside the iGo folder there should already be a folder named content which contains the speedcam folder. You shouldn't need to create these folders. If you don't have the content folder for some reason, pm me and I can get it to you.

I tried to send you a PM, but my machine has a mind of its' own. The message is stuck in my outbox.

 

Please send me the "contents" folder. I can't locate them in my iGo folder.

 

Mucho thanks -

Thanks for replying Bud. I had not had a chance to with everything going on today. This is the exact same thing I have been experiencing as well.

Maybe we got the "lemons", bro :x

All I know is ever since I upgraded to V3.01 this thing is even SLOWER not faster like everyone has said. I even did the complete upgrade twice...everything. Screen taps are SLOW. Response is SLOW. Button taps are SLOW. Boot up time is the same.....SLOW (maybe faster than the very firs AVIC's..but still slow).

All in all I am less than impressed by this unit but I hang on to it and continually f**k with it in hopes it will **miraculously** heal itself. Until such time it is better than a big, double-din void in my dash.

:)

 

I integrated IDT's trip computer mod in mine and it worked for 1 day and nothing since. Did you guys ever figure it out?

Posted Aug 31, 2009 · 21:38 UTC#185
Thanks for the tips NSEW. I will look into it.

 

I have to say though, I added the Gurjon skin into my emulator. That thing is in a league of its own. I might start have to start running that in short time. ;)

 

No problem.

 

Just make sure you back up your back up. I just lost EVERYTHING on my SD card, a little over 7 gb's all gone. I have some of it on my PC, but not all of it. I'm so pissed and aggravated right now.

 

Thanks for the offer Alex.

 

A lot was pre 3.0 as you can imagine. I had my flask disk from just before the upgrade and the my flash disk from right after the update. I meant to get them off just in case but it was only upgraded a couple weeks prior.

 

I had everything in there in a way that I knew what was what. On my PC it's not as organized. There was probably quite a bit that I could have deleted, but I kept for reference in case I wanted to look something up or maybe assist someone else.

 

You should see my desktop, I have about 100 different bmp's floating around and over tewnty data.zips that were in one stage of update or another. Guess it's time to do some cleaning up.

 

Oh well, life goes on. At least my unit was operating with a good zip when it happened.

One question, how do you get the small trip computer on the map screen?

 

Thanks - Jim

I noticed the same thing. Seems to work for a bit when there are no save files and a fresh copy of the zip file. Then it stops and never works. Trying Gurjon's skin for now and his is working. Just checking to see if its his config or the same thing thing during a fresh copy. If it works he may have done something different with it but this thing is so crazy to reverse engineer that I am not sure if I could find it even if I wanted to! LOL!

I am just like you no coding but reverse engineering and asking lots of questions. I have been trying to see a bunch of different files myself and can't find the difference. I really like this TC and am determined to get it running. So I will keep searching through all the data files till someone gets an answer.

When all else fails, read. I got it.

Here's one that's worth $.

 

Has anyone fixed the 3D street names to work in anything other than 500' view, like it did in 2.0? I'd pay to see street names in 1,000' view and above.

 

That would make this mod the mack-daddy!

I just loaded this on my X910, excellent work. Just 1 suggestion, so far, the compass direction is a bit crowded in the upper right, may be move the time to the left a bit and widen the compass?

 

thanks for putting all of this together, the bypass for PBrake works like a champ.

Great work. this is certainly one of the best mods for the F series. Thank you for sharing your work.

 

BTW, i have a couple of questions.

 

1. Would it be difficult to change the font to default one? All cap font looks great, but, sometimes difficult to read. I looked at the navigationmap.ui, and see your font, but, simply replacing those with Tahoma won't work since the size will be different.

2. Which file do i need to replace in order to make the top text background to solid color? I think that will also help read the street names better.

 

Thank you.

Its already better from what it was but I agree its small. I will see if there is a better one to use.

1. Yes you would have to change it all to Tahoma and adjust all the sizes of the font. It would not be a small amount of work.

 

2. k_header_bg.bmp is the top bar and k_footer_bg.bmp is the bottom one. Just create whatever you want it to be as long as its the same exact size

Diaftia,

I copied the trip computer from your most recent Data.zip. Everthing works great except one thing. I'm trying to move the on screen trip copmputer around. When I move the x axis I see movement but nothing happens when I move the y axis. Any insight?

Thanks,

Bryan

Hey Diaftia, this mod is awesome! I'm loving it! There is one thing that I would like to change on mine and I'm not sure how to do it so maybe you could help me out a little. I have noticed that when I open up the drop-down menu and then open a sub category, if I close the whole drop-down menu while that sub category is still open, only the first column of buttons goes away and after a few seconds the sub category goes away. I would like to make it so when I close the drop-down menu, all buttons that are currently displayed disappear instead of just the main ones. I probably don't make much sense right now because I'm pretty tired but if this does make sense, is there a way that I can do this? Thanks for the help!

Hi Boots-

 

That is a valid bug that I should fix. I have not come across it but your description is accurate enough to reproduce. It's simple enough with the insertion of some hide statements. I will take a look at it. I am on a business trip starting tomorrow so if I get some down time I will look at it.

 

Thanks,

Alex

Amazing mods, my favorite by far. I think Pioneer should hire some of you lot on. Thanks to all who contributed!

 

I read back a few pages and didn't see anything about this, so I hope I'm not repeating anything but...

 

The screen off/power button by the trip computer (TC doesn't work at all for me btw, looks cool though)... Anyway to make that function like the "screen off" option under the nav -> settings? The clock is nice for some I'm sure, but I'd trade it in for a proper dark screen if I knew how. The backlight makes the black look so grey, even when turned down all the way.

 

If anyone has time for a noob, I'd be grateful of course. =D

Hey Ezra-

 

I have done some reading on this from other threads. It seems as though that functionality is not accessable from the nav software. Think of it as there are two pieces of software on these units (3 if you include the OS) that cannot really interoperate. That function is on the Pioneer side and not accessable via the iGo side. If someone has a way to do this I would be happy to change it it as I already have a clock in my car.

 

Thanks,

Alex
