Alex -

 

Still enjoying this latest set of mods. One thing that my old factory GPS used to do that I'd like to see on the F90BT is what happens if I don't hit any buttons during the boot sequence. In other words, if I didn't hit okay on the nag screen within 60 seconds, it would switch to a screensaver (clock). If I wanted to navigate, I'd touch the screen, and it'd bring me back to the nag screen.

 

Think this is do-able? Especially cool with MSN Direct running...

That screen (to hit OK at the prompt) is a function of the commonlib.dll. You can see carvers thread on how to remove that nag screen altogether. If its removed via editing the code in that binary I am sure the redirect would be part of it too. I loaded his stuff and it always goes to the last screen I used. In my case usually the map.

Alex -

Tried copying the commonlib.dll from carver, and still get a nag screen. Tried it by itself and with the two other files. What location did you download the files from? Any suggestions as to what I may be doing differently?

In the mods - the zip file is copied; does this mean that each time the F900BT starts up it unzips these data zip files?

I have the EU version but even though the speed mod says 128 in the zip it doesnt seem to operate.

Can I look on the flash and if so what is the full path to check if it - is it unzipped somewhere.

Hey Diaftia,

I like that new Version 2 very much, but there is one thing I don't like and that is the yellow font of the marked areas!

How (where) can I change that colour?

I tried to change the colour in the navigatemap_800_480.ui, but I guess I did something wrong, because it did not chance on my device!?

EDIT 01/21/10 - 03:35 AM:

I guess I found, what I did wrong (but i won't say)!!

I will try it out and post my result!

Changed the colour from FFF40 to E8E8E8 by the way!

EDIT 01/21/10 - 04:03 PM:

Just ignore my question, I found my mistake!

Everything works fine with changing the font colour!

I have searched and I must be missing it. My unit does not tell me left or right for the location when reached, nor does it mention street names in the directions. I am using all components that you have included with the mode including the voice you supplied. If no than my quesion is answered but if yes...why is mine not working... Everything that I have discoverd about your mod works perfect. Let me know your thouthts...

Thanks

Hi Diaftia,

Maybe you are willing to update the Merten data.zip with the new changes??

Still no sign of Merten here...

I sent him an e-mail last night, let's wait for an answer!

I am having a strange issue with the latest version. Occasionally when the unit turns on it shows the loading screen (like it normally does), the XM screen appears then it flashes back to the booting screen for a second or two and the screen goes blank. Usually, if I wait long enough the destination menu of the gps shows up, except it shows an MSN Direct button (I have the version w/o MSN). If I click the screen it selects something on the XM screen.

 

At this point, either I can just press the back button and everything is ok, other times it stays on the XM screen with the top bar missing and I can't switch to anything else (I can control the XM though). The only solution is a reboot.

 

WTH is going on? I don't even know if it was this latest update or if it has to do with the XM addon I just purchased. Also, when I select destination normally the MSN direct doesn't show up.

 

That is something specific to your unit. Depending on what mods you have done in the past things can start acting weird. If all else fails you can restore to an original config then load my mods again. I would start with deleting the save files and see how it behaves.

I used the most recent link in his thread. I believe he has many in there so make sure you pick the newest one.

No, I believe it just reads inside the zip file which is why when its not zipped in the right format it cant read it.

You need to have the parking brake wire grounded too for the software bypass to work. You are better off doing the hardware bypass though if you need to open it and change it. Makes you immune to all mods if they dont have the separatedsafetymode flags set correctly.

Sounds like you are not using the TTS voice but a standard voice. Deleting your save files should set it back to normal but either way go into the voice settings and I bet you have a non-TTS voice selected.

I got back to him with something to test but I think he has been busy. The problem is I am not sure what all the changes he made are. I will ping him and see.

Just realised my Smartzoom reverts to OFF each time I turn my unit off.Any ideas please?

Something is up with your save files. Probably were not deleted. Delete them because mine stays on all the time so I know the feature works.

Ok guys...I'm very busy with my work and social commitments and I'm on the edge to get ill (like a lot of others... ).

But if you all want I can up the EU version of 2.3 but be aware that TMC does not work...

That would be great.Maybe you can sort out the TMC when you feel better Hope you get well soon and thanks for all your efforts on behalf of us EU users.

Take a look at the Aussie Version here

V3 firmware updates starts here in the thread

viewtopic.php?f=34&t=23158&start=180

It's still 2.2 but with lots of updates. I will port it all across to 2.3 once the TMC upgrades are complete.

Cheers

Mmm tried that but still the same.I am using Merton 3000 2.2 V.Do you think it could be something in there.Pretty sure it saved the Smartzoom settings before.

Alex,

I did not have Samantha chosen...Thanks

Quick Question (Anyone can anwser) I have this mod and i must say this is a GREAT PEACE OF WORK! but i am still unable to get the 3D mode. It's always showing in 2D. I want to see the clouds and other stuff dang it. I press the compass as someone else posted and that doesnt work. Just stays in 2D. oh yea and the SOFTWARE BYPASS is working like charm. Thanks Again to everyone here.

Assuming you have tried deleting the user\userdata\igo\save files.

Look at the settings you have in sys.txt

Delete user\userdata\igo\save files again

startup and set the smartzoom

do another startup and check if it's working in and if not look at the user\userdata\igo\save\system.ini post your smartzoom settings from system.ini

Cheers

Can you try calibrating your screen and try it then?

Excellent work, Diaftia! Downloaded and installed it today to my F700-BT and all seems to be fine except the off screen - it remains blank. How do I get the time and date to show? (I made sure to delete everything in the Save folder and made sure to replace the DATA.zip file.)

Its a little confusing and I wish I could change this but I can't. There are two off screens. One is a Pioneer generated one from binaries through the radio. That one I cannot change for the same reasons we cannot edit the txt for the radio output when connected to satellite radio. The other is the one that I created that is accessed via my quick menu under extras.

I added the links on the first page. Can someone tell me if they are seeing strangeness under the TMC config screen?
