Thread: iGO NextGen v9.35.2.252374_(24.Feb.2021) (WORLD)(armv8a/aarch64)

I don't use any skins.
All skins I have seen so far are butt ugly and put way too many buttons on the main navigation screen. No I very much prefer my iGO without any skin and just my own scheme.

So yes I would need to "reinvent the wheel" for some parts as I absolutely refuse to use butt ugly skins.

This all is beside the point though as my main question was/is if it would be worth the time and effort getting 9.35.xx to work and look the way I want compared to 9.18.xx

Guess it's not.

could it be that you never really dealt with the various skins for Nextgen 9.18.27.xxx 🤔
It may be that you only know graphical representations/screenshots because you write a large number of buttons in the cockpi. 😮

I have many Motorhome- / Camper-Friends in DE who all use the Pongo skin with enthusiasm, some even only specify the path to the secondary root in the SYS.txt.

You are welcome to present/submit your type of use here, but please do not speak badly/write something that you have probably not tested and used intensively enough yourself.

Skins change the graphical representation of iGO quite a bit.
I never said that skins don't work, I just stated that I don't like they way they graphically change iGO. This is just a personal opinion/taste and I'm very much in my right to have this opinion just as you may have the opinion that a certain skin looks awesome. You don't have to jump to conclusions and accuse me of all kind of things just I don't agree with you about if a skin does or doesn't look good.

You have no idea whatsoever what I did and did not test, used nor how much time I've spend on iGO navigation... so please keep those accusations that have no basis whatsoever for yourself, it's not making you somehow more right or something.. in contrary..

I sometimes have to smile when some users proudly write that they don't use a skin.
Their rationale is: System is getting slow....

I'm not proud of it or anything, for me it's just a practical fact that I don't like any skins I've seen so far.
As i said above I never claimed, and never will, that skins don't work or make your system slow (although that is a possibility if the skin tries to push in 1001 features and heavy textures)

Thank you that at least to you I'm free to not use a skin if I don't like the look of it

No it doesn't make sense to me to refuse to use a skin and then stuff 30+ UX from a dozen or so different skins in their installation.
Same way it doesn't make sense to use a skin when one doesn't like the look of the skin in the first place and then needs to disable/circumvent 19 out of the 20 things that skin adds to the installation.

A screenshot from my current installation.. this is all what I would want 9.35.xx to do, nothing less nothing more.

Spoiler: screenshot

As a bonus question I will let you guess how many UX'es I added to the iGO default installation.

I also like one of my iGOs with Default Skin but, not that it will be completely naked, like yours.

There are excellent UXs that have frequent usability and repeated necessity.

All of these UXs, were specially developed and at the request of forum members, by the masters themselves and as a derivative of their origin skins and respectively for smooth work with Default iGO.

You're just missing out...

? somehow your presentation contradicts itself?
You control everything via SYS.txt; did they write?
Now write of many ux added; de facto the same as all the others; who changed the default skin and now added her own

They are clever because they simply omit the buttons in the cockpit that access directly in the menu / settings.

OK, your right to your own opinion. No reason to let the other skins appear as "stupid".

to igo 9.35. xxx or 9.18.xxx; why do they want a cow to be a sheep? if they don't like the cow because it's built differently, then they stay with the sheep.

for me now EOD

Sorry to bother you, but I have a question. Is this way suitable for unrooted phones, because i tried to copy the files into my directory "Internal storage\Android\Data" and the files are not copied. Can somebody help?

Edit:
I have done from the begging the installation and all works fine

Did you root your phone first?
