[SKIN] Android iGO My Way Reborn Skin v1.5.5 EUR+ TTS Multi-Res
This skin (aka My Amigo Skin) was originally made for Amigo on WM and was ported over to the Android platform. Credit goes to freddysam and mmarz for starting this skin. It is designed to look like the original iGO skin by default. Turn on the desired advanced features through the settings menu. Here is where the skin was started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1058584
The skin itself contains multiple sets of POI icons. You can change the icons individually by going to "More..." -> "Manage Places", or you can change the icons in bulk by using one of these branding.gro files: Branding 2:http://uploadmirrors.com/download/0E.../branding2.gro Branding 3:http://uploadmirrors.com/download/09VUOTKQ/branding.gro
If you want to revert back to the default POI icon set (Branding 1), use the branding.gro included with the skin or simply delete the branding.gro that you are using.
To install:
Replace your original data.gro with the included one and merge the iGO folder with the one on your SD card. If you are using iGO Thin, then you don't need root and all the files can be accessed on your SD card. If you are using regular iGO, you will need to replace the data.gro located here: /data/data/com.navngo.igo.javaclient/ as well as the audio folder which will require root.
To use the TTS features, you must have iGO My Way v8.4.3.179971 or newer.
How to add custom POI's using KML files:

b) Massage your KML as follows--just below the header telling what version of Google Earth KML add the following:
<Document>
<name>(the name of your POI here as you want it to appear in iGO)</name>
<metadata><igoicon><filename>content\userdata\user icon\(poi BMP name.bmp)</filename></igoicon></metadata>
(it is "usericon" with no space, xda adds a space for some reason after I post)
c) Add your KML files to /iGO/content/userdata/poi
UPOI Editor will do this automagically, and for large sets of POIs at that--and it exports cleanly to KML that iGO will take natively, so I think we're fixed
Suggestions for icons--you'll need to do them in BMP format, 40x40 would appear to be the practical limit if the big "icon stacks" out of a standard branding.gro or data.gro file are anything to go by, though a lot of these are 32x32. Nmollet's PNG icons for Google Maps converted to BMP (http://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/) work quite well in iGO once KML files have the appropriate headers, and these are just straight BMP conversions from a 32x37 PNG file.

Good people I am here seeking advice. I have been using iGo for a while now, I had it on my WM PDA, I then got it on my Captivate (did not make much sense since the cappy gps did not work). I was happy to put it on my AT&T SGS2. It work ok but then I found out that there was a new version for the galaxy (ver 8.4.3.179971)
I upgraded to the version, it worked very well until I tried to find a place based on POI. Thats when I found out that on this new version POI does not work.
When I access Setting->Content->Places it comes up: Inactive Content (poi/.
If I revert to ver 8.4.2.139242 everything works well.
Is there something that I need to do, some other directory that I need to put the file in for it to work?
-Fixed 380x240 and 400x240 driving info.
-Fixed 2D North Up placement
-Added Regular Speed Camera Alerts. The default Speed Camera Scheme is still EUR+. If you want to switch to the Regular Speed Camera Scheme, you need to do two things.
1. First, copy the contents of the "Regular_Alerts" folder into your iGO folder.
2. Secondly, attempt to manually add a speedcamera and deselect the "EUR+" button so that it shows "Reg".
The contents of the "Regular_Alerts" folder change the icons that appear embedded in the map. The "EUR+"/"Reg" button changes the rest of the icons and changes the TTS alerts to follow the regular alert system. See the new charts.
If you are using the EUR+ Alerts, you can use the EUR+ speedcam.txt files that have been posted online by others as far as alerts 1-15 are concerned. The same goes for the Regular Alerts. If you want to manually add alerts to speedcam.txt, you can use the Type numbers I have posted in the attached charts.
By "Regular" Alerts I mean the ones used in Primo.

I created the 960 skin by grabbing the 800 skin and adjusting only the map screens. Unfortunately, it is not as simple to fix as you may think it is. In order to fix the menus, I would have to manually adjust every single element on every page, and then separately, realign all of the transitions. I would also have create all new images for some of the elements. I personally have no interest in doing it because I don't even have a 960x540 device and all of the GPS functionality is already there. If you or anyone else would like to volunteer to fix the menus in this resolution, I can guide you.
-Fixed 2D North Up Simulation
-Fixed 2D Car Arrow size
-Fixed not being able to rename Favorites with large names
-Centered the qHD menus (960x540)
Yeah, I know what I said about fixing this resolution, but I found a work around that allowed me to move large portions over. A real fix would require new icons and a whole lot of work. I hope the symmetry will at least make you guys happy.
-Added select POI's from map browse windows. All POI's are available for selection, not just visible ones. There are two ways to use this feature:
1. In the Navigation map browse mode, if you select a point (or near a point) that contains a POI, a button will appear with the letter "i" for "information". Select the button and you will be taken to the familiar page where you can "add to favorites", "add via", "call"...etc.
2. Under "Destination"/"Add Via" -> "Find on Map", the cursor can select POI's. When a POI is selected, the address at the top will switch to the name of the POI. Press the name to get more info about the POI or to select it. If a POI is not selected, a list of nearby POI will be listed.
I had to add this before I go on sabbatical. Thank you to ausi for giving me the lead I needed to get it done. Hopefully this is it, and there are no more bugs that hamper useability. I'm getting tired of trying to stop. Enjoy!
