RR 5-2-06.. HQCT & More ..

guino · 05-01-2006, 10:42 PM

A bit early for the monthly release cause I gotta travel for work this week. Still Lots of additions and fixes.

I'm going to spend some left out donation money to get a copy of Mappoint 2006 to see what I can do with the interface. Just letting you guys know that I plan to work on it.

This 5-2 version is basically the updates from Robby_BMW with the 5-1 version (many Thanks!):

-Added the ability to fade-in the master volume when a call ends and the player restart (see the notes).
-Added the ability to display caller's picture on the CALL_IN/CALL_OUT skins (see the notes).
-Added the ability to disconnect the BT-Headset when PhoCo exits.
-Added the "HEADSET_CONNECTED_PHOCO" indicator.
-Added AM/FM indicator for HQCT support
-Improved the command "PHONEDISCONNECT" that force PhoCo to disconnect and reinit the phone.
-Improved the BT audio gateway support.
-Improved compatibility with PhoCo 1.5.
-Fixed isues with some old phones (like Sony Ericsson T68i).
-Fixed issue with AddContact when in CallList.
-Fixed issue with PHOCO.PST (see the notes).
-Fixed various minors bugs.
-Fixed RRConfig not loading "World" weather setting

In version 5-1:

-Added HQCT support (Major work)
-Added support for Loadable Extension Plugins (Major work)
-Added FastMode option to load screens faster (Major work)
-Added SpeedFan Support (Thanks to deus_ex_machine)
-Added Built In Voice Control support (Thanks to whodwho)
-Added Dual Monitor support (Thanks to MatrixPC)
-Added support to pre-load specified screens at startup
-Added "WAIT" command to delay between multiple commands
-Added "EVAL" command to evaluate expressions with variables
-Added support for Thai language/charset
-Added AutoIt SDK example (Thanks b8bboi)
-Added label info XMFAVNUM/SRFAVNUM
-Added ONSKINSTART event
-Added support to execute secondary commands on press-and-hold of buttons (1 second holds)
-Added COVERART indicator and label code
-Added CPU Load slider support
-Improved Album Art display to be layered as indicators
-Improved List display of non-selected items to use all space available
-Updated Delphi SDK example (fixed bug receiving messages from RR)
-Updated RRConfig's Radio options
-Fixed list highlight issue with trs=true
-Fixed Issue with XMD1000 not updating current channel information
-Fixed Issue with parsing Flash commands including '$'
-Fixed Issue with ; appearing after custom FD labels
-Fixed Issue with Text object font setting not working
-Fixed Album Art Thumbnail Browse support not showing some thumbs

Notes:
-I still intend to add a little onto the extension plugin support (sliders etc)
-FastMode is an ATTEMPT to make loading of screens faster (I basically added a way to load screens as it used to be on previous versions of RR) -- details on readme.txt
-SpeedFan, DualMonitor and VoiceControl support was merged from the spin off versions posted here in the forums (many thanks to those who took the time to help the community).
-Users of the Brushed skins that use album art, will notice that this version of RR will layer the album art BELOW the flash logo in the audio player. This was done to speed up and improve the way the album art display works and to make it more consistent with the way other imaging functions work in RR -- specially in what it comes to the VIS plugin. Unfortunately, there's no way to layer the flash logo UNDER the art, but it shouldn't be hard to make a flash plugin that displays the art when present or the logo of your choice when no art present -- anyone up for this challenge ? feel free to step in.
-Pre-loading of skins actually works better than I expected, so you may want to give it a try -- look it up in readme.txt to know what to do.
-Everything else you want to know you'll find either at readme.txt or skin commands.txt

Again thanks for your support,
Guino.

Awesome!!!

Guino, did the issue with RR flashing in front when receiving a SendMsg get fixed in this release? I haven't had a chance to test it.

Should be fixed. This was a minor touchup I didn't put on the change list. I thought I sent you a PM about it.

b8bboi · 05-01-2006, 11:23 PM

Sonicxtacy02 · 05-02-2006, 08:19 AM

i know this is probably a stupid question as its not referenced above but does this update include robby_bmw's phoco changes?

Great work Guino. Now since we have the HQ radio is there a command to switch between AM and FM. Could not find one.

camsgs3 · 05-02-2006, 10:24 AM

Guino> Actually, all you have to do is unzip the subfolder and select HQCT in RRConfig. no need to mess with buttons etc.
