Thread: Skin iGO nextgen by pongo (LATEST) COPY Netspider mod

"Fixed some Pongo's bugs in his code. Broken menus that was gone, Day and Night Map Colours in Map Appearance, I bring them back. Broken non working setting Hide The Note 'on/off' in System Skin Settings, now is working. Wrong text encoding in Juction View signs, and some other bugs."

No, but every now and then you should clean up or delete the “save” folder.
I've never had these errors with Pongo's Skin

First, thanks for the spotted bug earlier in sys.txt about save_cheksum=0. That was causing creation of *.cks and *_A.* and *_B.* files. I fix it and re upload all
save_checksum=0
save_safety=0



About Pongos bugs, in original Pongo's code some of them you may have not seen if you never used first version 2020-05-21 and have not compared with next versions. Or you have not noticed at all...

Try this. Put some of the earlier Pongo skins, 2020-05-21, before 2022-05-11. Don't put any add-ons! Just put normal skin version. Go in Settings-> Map Appearance you will see 2 menus Day/Night Map Colours available.
Now put any Pongos skin after 2022-05-11, including 2023-07-14. And.... menus are gone? Because after 2022-05-11 menus viability is dependent of lua.Choice_Sky. Which doesn't exist anywhere. Which makes menus disappeared. That's a smelly code! So I remove that dependency to guarantee these important menus do not disappear in any circumstances, always visible, free from any dependencies!


Or try this. Put some of the latest Pongo skins 2023-07-14 or some previous. Go in Settings-> System-> Hide The Note 'on'off' click and restart. This hides On/Off annotations in menus.
After restart whats happen?? Not working, nice bug huh? This I fixed


Or try this. Put earlier Pongo skins, 2020-05-21. Put this in sys.txt. This is to stop speed camera warnings when you stop. Here in Australia is not a problem but in some EU countries this is illegal, and you dont want to be visible on your GPS when cops stops you, coz you'll get huge fine. Start iGO and now in the drag mode, long press on the bottom right button "Save Favorite". All cameras gets hidden. Hold it again and cameras gets unhidden again.
[autorad]
disabled=0

Now keep same sys.txt and put some of the latest Pongo skins, 2023-07-14. And when you start whats what's happen? All cameras are hidden by default! You can unhide it, but this is annoying every time when start iGO manually to unhide cameras. The only option is to make constantly unhidden:
[autorad]
disabled=1
but then you are not able to hide it again when you want. Because long press on "Save Favorite" is disabled now.
I dont know whether this is buggy, but is shitty 100%. A smelly logic here! I want iGO to start with unhidden speedcam and when I want to hide them by long pressing "Save Favorite".
So I fixed this with adding more functionalities on
[autorad]
disabled=0 ;0= not disabled you can hide/unhide. iGO start hidden;
disabled=1 ;1= disabled, cannot hide, permanent unhidden;
disabled=2 ;2= not disabled you can hide/unhide, iGO start unhidden;



Or try this. Put earlier Pongo skins, 2020-05-21, and look the Quick Cockpit buttons. Can you see how big and easy reading is the icon inside the button? Icon fills the button from end to end
Now put any of the latest Pongo skins including last one 2023-07-14. Look the icon. Looks squashed inside button. Some useless paddings inside that shrinks the icon inside make it small and not so easy reading anymore. I remove this and now icons are bigger end to end inside buttons like in earlier Pongo versions. Feels much pleasant.


I can go on and on.... but will stop here coz no one is reading anyway, everyone looks screenshots nowadays

NO! DO NOT DELETE “save” folder!!! Read the description! This will break Live Online Traffic if you have Android 11 and above. You may "never had these errors" but that doesn't means other people like me have not seen them. Or you are using Android 10 and below.
So I intentionally DID NOT deleted “save”folder.
I CLEANED “save” folder from all my preloads files "\iGO_World\save\preloads\*" that can crash iGO if it's copied on another version of Android. Also cleaned all my personal data, history, poi etc.
So the users get clean setup and nice looking iGO and no need to do all iGO settings from scratch hiding all stuffed bloatware that comes inside Pongo skins...



I am done. Enjoy if you like it. I can't see any bugs or problems. If I add something or fix something will come back to update files in my topic, rather to keep it for myself on my HDD.
Bare in mind that I did this for myself, the way I believe should be done better. I reckon to share it if someone finds a value. I would be glad if someone finds something useful in my work and use it in his own compilations. That's why I included the original files. To be easy to identify what I changed so easy to transfer my changes in his compilation.
