Great release david, thank you.

The one issue I have is when I resume from hibernation I get an error that my GPS is not connected. All I have to do is press OK and then it finds it. I believe this happends because I leave iGuidance open when I hibernate. Is there any way to have the computer initialize the GPS first when resuming? This really isn't a centrafuse issue, but could be fixed through the program. One workaround would be to have Centrafuse close iGuidance on hibernation and then have it open it on resume.

What do you think?

I find it more helpful to know how much time remains in a song rather than how much time has elapsed. Perhaps you could include a switch so users can choose their preference.

Tap the timer and it'll switch to time remaining.

Sweet! I must've just been blind and/or stupid when I was messing with it earlier.. i'll have to give that a shot!

Unless I have missed it and they already work:

The ability to startup App1/App2 etc in the background so they are already running (but not neccessarily selected unless you choose them as your startup item).

A startup.xml or similar to launch background processes when running as shell. Not a biggy, I can re-write the background apps (such as steering wheel stalk control etc) as services if I have to.

click the elapsed time and it will magically turn to remaining...

also there should be a feature to auto start apps, once the centafusehas loaded not to slow down load time. cus i like to have my gps always going. i dont wana have to press the apps button to load it.. this isnt just for gps thou..

I considered the pause/play switch, but decided against it... after looking at some home decks... I also realized that if switched the majority of the time the interface would be showing a pause icon, which I don't want... Makes sense to me to see pause when it's paused... I like to see the normal play icon on a daily basis, not pause...

David - What i'd like to see, and I think I mentioned it before, is a way to disable the 'Keyboard/Close' bar on fullscreen. It's good for some apps, but lets say i'm going to have a camera embedded...i'd like to be able to have more screen space!

In this case, could you overlay a little 'X' in one of the corners or something? Like in external.xml, *KEYBOARD* or something?

It's just a little gripe.. Same goes with iNav fullscreen... Firefox, though..it'll come in handy for!

there is a new load on start option in the setup gui... you can choose any section of the app and it will also show available external apps as an option too...

A way to exit an embeded app without the fullscreen keyboard/close bar would be very useful. When I embed my OBDII software it will only show the whole obdII screen in fullscreen mode without the bar (the obdII window is hard coded to only get so small). It takes up a significant amount of memory, so when I want to close it the only way is through file->exit and then I can't re-embed again without a restart.
