Titan 20270 GPS kitchen

[gof]

I've run into a couple of interesting issues with my latest attempt with this version.

1. Despite checking the box for "6.1 WMP Skin", WMP starts up unable to find any skins. I loaded one separately and it works fine from then on. It looks like this specific skin isn't working.

2. At the start, the button for PIE complains shortcut not found. If I go into buttons it's their. Fixed by selecting something else, then reselecting PIE.

3. Loading the demo XM Radio app, it errors out with two errors. First it reports "RegQueryValue Failed" and then after selecting OK on that, the second error is "m_WMPlayer->Create Failed". It looks like there are some registry entries missing? At first I thought it was the missing skin, but after fixing that the problem remains. The app goes through another step or two then hangs. I do have the MusicID app loaded via the kitchen, so perhaps there is a conflict there?

On my previous builds of another base, there was an app (nueUSB?) that would let you select on connection if you wanted the USB port to emulate the USB drive. Where is that on the current kitchen? I thought it might have ben NueStorage CPL but that's definitely not it. There's an app called USB Mass Storage Driver, but there's no on-line info for that.

Other than these three, my very limited testing seems positive. About 20MB free after boot, but I don't load up the today screen with a bunch of stuff so that's not too surprising to me.

I am testing the WMP skin right now, and the USB Mass Storage Driver is the same thing. We will try to get the description updated ASAP.

Sounds good. It was a bit frustrating with the skin, but not a big deal. Is there any reason the USB Mass Storage driver isn't in the Nue section?

Finally, does anyone know if there is a utility to switch which app is invoked (on the fly?) for html files? Sometimes pie is enough, sometimes Opera, and now that I'm on the Skyfire beta, that's a good option too. But since I loaded Opera via the Kitchen, it had taken over the association. I can use the association tool to swap it, but it's a PITA to do that each time. I'd love a little pop up that asks which to invoke. Maybe I'll post the question in the software forum...

I too would like a popup if possible... I hate pie, it's just too lame... I can't believe MS wouldn't offer a friendlier mobile browser by now... I personally love the Opera Mini...

The thing is, PIE is often the best since it's fast and works well with some of the mobile formatted sites. I like that Opera does a good job on non mobile friendly sites, but it's a memory hog. If I launch a link from Messaging for example (e.g., link in an email), the first thing that happens as Opera loads is that Messaging gets unloaded PIE loads small and I can switch back and forth. That's why it would be nice for something to select "on-the-fly".

I don't think Opera is that much of a resource hog... I can run Opera, take a call and send a text message just fine. It's only bad IF I run TomTom or Google Maps, and in that case I'm usually not browsing the net, I'm looking for directions... I rarely look at mobile sites, because I prefer to take advantage of the whole site. Or I would just rather go to a site I already know, rather than try to learn what link they put the page on, I frequent...
