S100 Platform - SkinPack  31/10/2013

It's almost a year since I started modifying the interface and functionality of my car dvd  unit and here you can download my latest job, a  package that contain 4 skins, a "Skinmanager", a "SkinTool" and a corrected english, italian and russian languages:

The skinpack will work on unit with firmwares up to 1.18.7, it will not work with newer firmwares 1.1.8 and up. 

If you have one of the new firmwares you cannot downgrade to older ones using the normal update procedure but it's still possible using a wince sd-recovery, just follow instructions included in the zip SDBOOT_wince.zip to fuse the  bootloader on the SD and copy the older firmware in it.

Personal note: the newer firmwares don't have any new relevant feature respect the 1.xx.7 series

A new firmware 1.6.9 just came out with a nice new feature: the possibilty to store the radio stations by RDS name. A new skinpack for this new firmware is available here:
New Skinpack 2014

Update 2: for firmware 1.7.9 you'll need this even newer skinpack
Skinpack 15/11/2014


Uncompress it in the root of Sd card and insert it in the GPS slot, then set the path of the navigation software to : \\Skinmanager\Skinmanager.exe

SkinManager will let you install or switch the UI skin in a couple of seconds, and right now you can choose between the original one, a slightly modified of the original, a Blueskin and a DarkRed skin.

Once the skins are installed, you don't even need the SD anymore, you'll find the SkinManager installed in the unit at section "Utility->pag2-> Extra" and from there you can switch skin in less then 10 seconds.
Once at least a skin is installed the original one will contain the skinmanager too.

Since 31/10/13 you can have the  "Music" or "Mp3" button directly on home screen,  using a little trick that make the software think you  own a C201 model.

To do this you  have to edit with notepad the file ADSet.xml contained in the S100PROGRAM folder and change the id="YourIdNumber" to id="201":
for example my model  c001:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--注意属性与值之间中“=”要不留空格-->
<ADSet>
<versions></versions>
<DATE>
<define id="1" derivativeID="1" name="C001"/>
<openLogo id="19"/>
<LCD id="2"/>
<ADFunc id="0"/>

.........

will be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--注意属性与值之间中“=”要不留空格-->
<ADSet>
<versions></versions>
<DATE>
<define id="201" derivativeID="1" name="C001"/>
<openLogo id="19"/>
<LCD id="2"/>
<ADFunc id="0"/>

Change just that, all the rest must REMAIN UNTOUCHED.

For the models with canbus must be modified the file MachineMapCanBus.xml and exchange the your model id with the C201 model

Enjoy :)
