GPS Launching Program

[hollowman]

no worries.

im a little confused tho, coz the one your using and the universal ini are actually the same...

i didnt add it anywhere on the nand flash.... all i did was just launch SystemInformation.exe from the navpath and use it from there. So when i press Navigation on my unit, it will load SystemInformation.exe and show me the menu

[hollowman]

i got your pm and my universal unlock file has been sent to you

Yea, I worked that out.

x must be the vertical position and I think Y is the column position.

If I just add 125 and leave y at 60 then, I think the bitmaps will all be in a long line.

If I knew what y would be to add a column then they may turn out in order across the screen?.

What buggared me up on the universal one was getting apps and the launcher onto the nand flash and then what came after that.

This one seems very simple, if I knew the x and y positions?

I will have to muck around with it tomorrow, mind you I have no idea about it.

Thanks again for your help Hollowman.

[oldsalt]

Thanks again kukuk.

I have installed the files and it is all working perfectly, you are a star.

Can there be timer added to one of the programs, so a default one is loaded if nothing is selected?

i know igo8 have this function in one of the skin (GJ skin I think) im not sure if it will work if you use it with this application...

Hi xr5adam

Does this look like what you are after I have been using it happily for a while



For info on this menu system go to Pez's site

thank for sharing..its the same program with additional extras...

Adam you can use this but you have to change all the resolution setting in all the .ini file to fit on your unit..

Yes these are all great, however is there a way to add a timer feature so that if no program is selected then a default program will load?

[xr5adam]

This is the menu I have created with help from all the menus that have been posted, so thanks everyone,

However I have only one problem after many attempts at this, and that is that the Bitmap image I am using as the screen is very clear and bright on the desktop however when I load it onto the car it is very dark and looses at alot of the effects,

Is there a better image type to use for these menus or do I just ahve to simply play with the brightness etc.

[hollowman]

adam, are you using a china gps ? if so, the reason for this is that you get what you pay for, your screen is 480x272 (or what ever it is) but it displays at 320x240, so the unit stretches the image to fit... yes you are being ripped off.. my unit is the same.... the image does not look sharp as it should and looks washed out....

im mentioned this issue many times in my threads ... i may make a new thread dedicated on this problem later when i have time...

by the way, where did u get that menu from, looks mad ! post it for me please..

Hollowman, I do have a chinese system, however it does have a hi def screen, I paid extra for it, the resolution of my screen is 800x480, I confirmed this with some program that tested the resolution.

That screen is the only one that appears crapish,it is like the brightness is wrong,

the one in this pic is another one I did and that appears as it should. Both work to a point, I get an error with Amigo at times, depending on how long the system has been running, and it also has some readers as well,

I made them myself from the menus that everyone provided here, I just modified the ini files and then resized the icons and locations, took alot of trial and error.

All I need to complete these is a timer of some sort to select a program if nothing is selected. The buttons are not in this picture, however on the screen the chevrons are replaced with icons for the programs

[hollowman]

that looks awesome....

also, how many icons (apps) can you put on it ?

Sorry I did not know how to use mega upload and did not realize that the links have to be put in manually,

I can upload the other one as well, I think there is no limit really on the apps, as each new menu can be added with an ini file, I just had one for GPS and one for office applications, I was hoping to be able to use the word editor to edit my ini file so I would not need to always take the micro SD card out,

It would not be hard to make a several pages of apps, it is just patience. if that one is too dark I will upload the other one.

[oldsalt]

Here is my version



I used Win 7 paint to redo the lines, added a Mitsubishi logo, replaced the puta icons etc with others I found on the web and re-wrote a bit of text
