KrisL is on a distinguished road
KrisL's custom firmware v29.1

So... if you saw a previous thread, I released my own custom firmware previously that had a custom startup screen, sky, more intuitive menu text, and the British voice that replaced French. The problem with the British is that since it was simply considered "voice #3", your points of interest were still in French.

I've realized that it's easier just releasing 2 versions: one with the American voice and anohter with the British voice.

I've already modified v29.1 with the same custom startup screen from the previous version:




I am now also using Richard E39's mountain sky picture. I live in California and it looks like the Sierra Nevadas . Looks good with the nav too - I tried his deep blue cloudy sky with the roundel, but it didn't look quite as good in my opinion:




I also modified the text just like I did in my previous old version. It's a bit more intuitive now.




Now, before releasing this...

Many that would choose the British voice are Mini owners. Minis have a separate/different startup screen. Right now, it's unchanged. I obviously don't want to put a picture of my BMW steering wheel for the mini startup... so those with a Mini, what startup picture would you like to see? It'd have to be something that all Mini drivers would like.

Thanks!
-Kris
