November 2016 - S100 skinpack: some fixes and new stuff (UPDATED)

Here I am presenting a new update of my famous Skinpack!
This time there are a couple of news and some fixes here and there..
The biggest news are:
- Patched software for 1.3.11.0 firmwares
- New Mirrorlink App (EasyConnected)
- A new audio player with internet radio support (SinglePlayer)
- Radio stations Icons for Skin5
- Skinned internet setting in skin2

Once again tnx to our russian friend Alex for this 1.3.11 patched version of the last s100 firmware.
Without his patches most of the s100 new features would not be possible.
To be able to use this patch you need first to update Skinmanager:

1. Delete the old Skinmanager folder from your SD or USB that you normally use for it
2. Put the new version on sdcard and paste the skinstall.code in it as usual.
3. Insert sd\usb and start skinmanager
4. If you had the autoupdate feature enabled in the Skinmanager Settings, it will update itself before starting. If the autoupdate is off, you will need to press the "Updates" icon on bottom left of the SM main screen or use the skintool proper option. 

Once you have SkinManager v2.4 running, you can use skintool to do a Firmware switch to 1.3.11

The new mirrorlink application is called EasyConnected and it is a a lot of more efficient and has less compatibility issues than the standard S100 app.
It work on android 6.0 via usb cable.
There is no need to enable mirrorlink in skinmanager>customizations, just run it from apps.
Running EasyConnect from apps won't allow to use the bluetooth audio.
I'm currently working on a fix that will let the user choose  between the normal mirrorlink app or EasyConnect during the first install.
The choice is not reversible because once you choose EasyConnect, the original MirrorLink will not work anymore and the only way to fix it is to reflash the firmware.

NEWS: After more then a month looking for a way to properly integrate EasyConnect in the S100 software, finally I can announce that now it work properly.
To enable EasyConnect you need to go in Skinmanager->Customization screen, enable mirrorlink as usual and you'll be prompted to choose the standard one or EC.

The new SinglePlayer use  different  libraries for audio decoding and can play internet radio too.
I haven't found a good way yet to make it work as default player and i really didn't spent much time on it but i wanted to include it anyway in the package to let people try it out a bit.

As per request and suggestion, I added support for radio station icons to skin5 (carplay) skin, just like i did for skin2.
A new Radio Editor application is under development that will make easyer to assign the icons, labels and frequencies to the buttons, but for now you still have to use it as before.

P.S. SinglePlayer for now is available only for skin2 and skin5.
