"Unlock" Menu for 800x480

Fri Aug 20, 2010 9:18 am

Since I got several request I upload my menu here.
It is for all these 800x480 pixel devices that are out there - mostly the 2din car GPS devices from China but for the hand held ones (like I have) as well.
Here are some screenshots of what is included :

General Info]
The menu is provides "as is" - meaning that if it does not work you will have to edit/change it yourself.
To change or add something you have to look into the 3 INI files : Menu.ini , Games.ini , Tools.ini
It is all pretty clear and easy to understand if you open the ini file in your editor and start the "Systeminformation32.exe" - it will simulate the menu on your Windows PC.
All is configured for SD cards labeled "StorageCard" - you will find ini files for other SD cards at the end.
Not all Games/Tools must work on your device! Some will need additional DLL files or CE6.
If something does not work you can delete the entries in the menu or use the comments as shown in the ini to disable the function but keep the menu entry for later use.
Special attention should be paid to the memory bars at the bottom :
You have to adjust the path to your SD flash memory accordingly in the 3 ini files otherwise they will show up like in the screenshots with invalid paths.
Only the games and tools are included -you have to provide the GPS programs.
The paths in the menu.ini should be ok for most standard installations, but you better check if they are correct for your version - this goes especially for Garmin !
I have included 2 folders that are not necessary for the menu : CE4 and CE5 - those inlude DLL files that might be missing on your system.
It might not be a complete collection but will save you some time searching the net.
The Flashmemory in the menu is labled "NANDFlash" and the status bar for that in the menu has the entry "diskmem" - two times, one for SD and for Flash.

How to]
Copy the folder "Navitotal" to the root of your SD card.
On your GPS change the patch for the GPS software to the "menu.exe" inside the folder "Navitotal".
If you want to use the Autostart function for the menu you can close it with a double click/tap on an empty area on the screen.

Hi Downunder,
I think the link to download menu 800x480 is wrong, it redirect me to ini files also, I didn't find any systeminfo file inside the file. May be you can upload it again.

Thank you

nice menu... can convert to 480x272?

Sun Aug 22, 2010 3:59 am

As I said : the menu is "as is" if you want it in 480x272 : change it - most icons are already in the right spot, and the rest can be adjusted very easy.

i like ur menu style.. but what the item need to change if want to using for 480x272?

The icons are standard and can be used for all resolutions.
If you check the ini you will notice that you can adjust the size of the icons as well - good for people with gloves on the bike or if you think they are just too big.
I tried to use a size that should work on all screen resolutions, but as I said they can be adjusted in the ini files.
To change the size of the menu you only have to change to position for the things on the bottom of the screen and maybe the size of the bars.
After that you change the position of the "back" arrow and you are done.
You can even leave the background image but I would recommend to create your own in the size of your screen, even if it is just a black background.

In the INI under "Global settings" change the screen resolution for your device and the name for your background image.
The things in the "status bar" are
Volume : "Volume-Button"
Battery : "Battery"
Memory : "Memory"
Clock : "Zeitanzeige rechts" and "Datum rechts"
and the free disk space : "Diskmem"

The "x" and "y" values are for the position and "size" stands for the font size of text, the rest is pretty clear when you read it.
Do the changes on your PC and check the menu with the "systeminformation32.exe" - you will see it is easy and makes fun too when you create you own menu.
There are a few more games included than listed in the menu, you can try if some more work for you and include them too ;)
Once you like your menu upload it here for the others and write about your experience :)
Thanks!

Please be more specific as I justed tested it and the link is working fine.
The only things not working are the links to pictures as they have been already deleted by the filehoster.
All downloadable files are still active.

On some devices you can change the language settings in the control panel (or directly in the Registry) but most of the times it is necessary to install a new CE system in english, and only the manufacturere can offer it.
I wouldn't bother too much as you don't really need access to CE during normal use.

downunder,

excellent stuff. been waiting for this a long time. i had to direct the ini files to MMC_STORAGE and repositioned the icons a bit further apart (stubby fingers) and it works!! thank you very very much!
