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

Why should I use an old skin?
Of course you'll always find errors, otherwise Pongo wouldn't need to release any updates.
The only error I can confirm is the on/off.....So what?
Day/night colors are either under map appearance or in the weather settings. Either ... or. Not both at the same time.
The save folder is also no problem: Live traffic works with the correct licenses. Maybe you should read the topic carefully again (the error is caused by the Pearl license).
Feel free to tinker with the skin, but don't act like you're fixing dozens of bugs here.

Nowhere I said to use the old skin. I said put the old skin to see Pongo's bugs in the new version compared with old one. Only to compare, not to use. Normally you need the last version in my archive.

on/off could be the only error you aware of, but I fixed many more you have not spotted...
Now I remember the keyboard bug. Put the original data.zip (it's included in my archive) and open the typing keyboard. Click the button to change the language keyboard. How many keyboards you see? Some but not many right? Now put my data.zip and restart iGO. Again open the list with keyboards and now you will see now many more keyboards appears out of nowhere in the list. This is just an example of a bug which you may never aware if you haven't wonder why so little keyboards are listed.... And here I am talking about a bug in data.zip. Not mention that I added few Bulgarian keyboards and put some better skin buttons.

Here you are another bug that may remain hidden for most of the users. Have you tried to listen music on headphones while iGO is navigating on your phone? Then you will discover that iGO and mp3 player app on headphones can't work together because iGO mute the mp3 player app and vice versa. But if you put my fixed version you will find this problem solved - on headphones you can listen iGO and mp3 music simultaneously. Although not many people suffer from that bug, I am very happy with my fix because I can put the phone in my pocket while I am biking in Australia and only listen mp3 music and iGO navigation at same time.

About Day/night colors menu, have you wonder what happens if you disable the weather? What about if I don't want the Weather?? I use another weather app outside iGO so I dont need iGO to waste my battery or data or any resources for that Weather? Try to rename weather.zip to weather.zip.disabled and restart iGO. You will see how Day/night colors menu disappear. Because map colour menus are dependent of the Weather. What on earth map colours have to do with Weather? So in other words, if I want to have map colours I must keep the Weather and I can't disable it o_O So I removed this reckless dependency, now colour menus are independent from the Weather or anything.

Upto Android 10 there is no problem. Above Android 11 Live Traffic breaks because service_register_v1.sav is generating incorrectly. To read what??? I read a topic about this problem and no one posted other solution [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
IN FACT YOU ARE the one suggested to keep the save folder here --> [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Only option was to keep \save\ folder with my service_register_v1.sav to make Live Trafic works. I cleaned my personal data from \save folder.
If you know other way, give a link or post it here or there?

Well, I have not counted the exact number of bugs I fixed...... all bug fixes, add-ons, improvements are more than a dozen. Only the modified files are 19 zip files...

If you never step on these bugs,
if you never need such addons,
if you never seen something annoying and never need to improve it...
then use the original Pongo skin!!!
After you don't fall in any of these categories what bothers you to discuss mod that doesn't concern you???

If someone been in my situation, then my mod is helpful to him. Even he can only take any of my 19 modified zip files and put it into his own skin.
