just thought i would throw this out there, but it probably wasn't a great idea to show all the numbers in your address book from your phone, i'm sure that some *** will start calling all those people and harrass them, might be a good idea to delete that vid and do a new one without any confidential information. That's just my two cents though

After that i was so impressed with the paint.net software which is free by the way i started playing around so more and editing more of the images. I changed the freefone limage to this:
I also figured what the hell let me modify my wifi manager screen too and this is what i came up with
That's some nice work.
Nice tip about the gray overlay. I may try it to see if i can get better contrast for day use.
I'm a CS3 user myself, but I may give your paint.net proggy a go just for grins. PS is incredabily powerful, but not extremely intuitive.........
I'm not sure wht you men by " what the hell let me modify the wifi manager" though......you mena in your paint program or in Void?

Thanks!!
I mean in paint.net cause i was impressed with it so much. I thought i could make the wifi manager look a lot better cause the first one i made was just in paint. lol...
I used PS CS3 too and i agree with u 100% its not intuitive but u start to get the hang of it eventually. Now paint.net is not only free but its really intuitive too. I believe its because its not as powerful as photoshop. Its like an advanced version of paint.

Well freefone still doesn't fully work. I can still hear the audio through the speakers when i receive a call but not when i make one. I'm not quite sure why. And i used this bluetooth connect software that automatically opens the audio gateway but i assume this program causes some error in my bluetooth stack and my computer shuts down. Haven't found away around it quite yet.
I'm thinking about making an OBDII skin if i can find some skinable OBDII software. I'm also looking into making a skin that utilizes the fusionbrain. Not sure if its possible yet but what the heck i'll give it a shot.

Had a look at theose menu screens in PS3 and paint.net, didn't see a gray overylay.
Just looked transparent besides the graphics.
Any chance you could post your two new .png's for comparison?
Also, are you using a cdma or gsm phone?
I'm assuming gsm...........

Nice part list. Post some pics when you do the hardware buildup and, of course, let us know bootup speed!

After about 13 hrs of changing the ini file in this obd-diag software i find out i made a mistake on the resolution so i have to start all over but here is a preliminary screenshot. As u can see there are no buttons on the image because they are all placed in the wrong spot
