Thread: FreeICE Frontend Released..

Hi m8, just leave the skin.ini settings as they are and just change the fi.ini ones. I will be posting a new version tonight that fixs the blue bar appearing at the top on frontscreen.

hope this helps

Anyone know why this thread is not appearing in the forum list??? I have to search for it to find it.

That and all of the recent posts are showing up in the begining of the thread????

****Edit

HOLY CRAP I JUST NOTICED THAT APPARENTLY WE HAVE TRAVELLED BACK IN TIME AND I'M ENTERING THIS IN 2001 WHEN I WAS STILL DRIVING MY NEON AND THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS MODIFYING THAT POS!! WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!!!

Well I have taken the plunge and started coding my own frontend.. It so far does music / video / gps ... its coming along quite fast.

All the development work is being done over on www.digital-car.co.uk which are UK carpc forums... I will however switch it to my FreeDrive forums once its into beta stages.

It is a windows media player based frontend written in VB6 with a flash front.

I am trying to make it out of the box as much as possible.

Here are a couple of screenshots













grab it from..

HOW TO INSTALL

Download / unzip

If you want to embed a gps app, open up fi.ini and put its Windowname , Path in there..

You can configure the Music / Video path from within FreeICE, just goto the browser and press drive, surf to the correct path and press and hold the music/video tab until the confirm box appears.. :-)

To load everything in a folder, just press and hold that folder until a message appears :-)



I have been doing daily updates over on digitalcar..

hope you like it so far..

Skully :-)

wow! it runs smooth!
just in the process of installing my new carpc, and i ran this as a test, and it was really really good. have not tried gps yet though.

Looks nice. I see you're still working with Destinator. Will your other projects (FreeDrive and especially FreeFone) benefit from your experiences with your own frontend, or are those projects on hold/dead now ?

Looks great. I'm intrested in coding also, and I can try to help you if your intrested of help...

This front end + FU skin + freephone + iguidance = PERFECTION

I have already improved the embedding and I am at the moment coding up SiLabs radio compatability.. FreeICE 0.5 should be ready within the next few days :-)

This is exciting! will there much more configurations availible, like RR?
would RR skins work with this front end?
