LP's TSU9600 PackAndGo File:
While I'm not making my TSU9600 XCF available for download as I have with my TSU7500 PCF those that own a TSU9600 can check out my XCF via the PackAndGo file linked to below. Once downloaded to the remote you'll find that the Wi-Fi level graphic appears in the system area. This is not a system item however, but a panel I placed there as I run my TSU9600 and RFX9400 in Network Mode and wanted to show the system area as it appears when I'm using the remote. All devices are actually set to use IR. This ensures that the file can be demonstrated in the remote no matter who downloads it. Also, the initial page which comes up is a splash screen. Technically my Home device, I keep the remote on this page while cleaning the remote. To proceed to the Activities page just hit up the OK hard button, the only button programmed while on this page.
Release Notes:
1) The Power button throughout my configuration file serves as the Home button. The small activity icon in the top left corner of each page also acts as the Home button. The actual Home hard button is used instead for more commonly used functions while under a given activity.
2) At times Firm Keys 2-4 will be labeled yes, no, and cancel for answering questions shown in the system area. When labeled as such the Page Up (yes), Page Down (no) and Power (cancel) buttons can be used rather than the Firm Keys.
3) Page Up and Page Down double as System On and System Off while on the Activities page.
4) The directional pad and OK button can be used to select a given activity from the Activities page rather than tapping the buttons on-screen. The same rule applies when on my DVD Juke menu.
(Additional pics of my DVD Juke Interface: Pic 1, Pic 2, Pic 3, Pic 4, Pic 5, Pic 6)
5) While on a given DVD changers transport controls the button labeled, "Lighting w/ Play, Stop & Pause" is used to enable/disable lighting integration with the play, stop, and pause functions. This option is enabled by default as seen here.
6) On the right side of each activity based page is a section labeled HBA which stands for Hard Button Assignments. This section provides for on-screen Menu, Guide, and Home buttons which are always programmed with the same functions as the actual Menu, Guide, and Home hard buttons to the right of the screen. This serves to not only call out what the Menu, Guide, and Home hard buttons are programmed to do at any given time, but also gives the user the option of using the on-screen buttons rather than the hard buttons for executing these functions.
7) My HD DVR device no longer contains channel logo pages as seen here. The "Favorites" function assigned to firm key 2 is now used to access the "Favorites" function of the HD DVR instead. Additionally, the Channel Up button is programmed for the 30 second skip function. Channel Down is programmed to take you back 10 seconds.
8) There is an invisible button up in the top right corner covering the Time, Date, Wi-Fi level, and Battery level System Items. This invisible button takes you to my lighting device. Once at the lighting device simply tap the upper right corner again to return to the previous device and page you were on prior to jumping to the lighting device.
9) The "Setup" button on the lower right side of the Activites page is actually the "Settings Button" System Item. Holding said button down for 4 seconds takes you to the "Settings" pages of the remote.
Updated on 02/23/2009...
10) The activities, "Blu-ray", "Galaxy 96", "SlimPronto", and "Weather" as seen on the Activites page are not included in the PackAndGo file. This is why they appear greyed out on the Activities page.
11) The XM Radio activity has been updated to reflect the current channel line-up as of December 2008. The channel logos previously used have been replaced with wider buttons taken straight from the official channel line-up pdf document basically. Pressed states are included for each. The "More..." category accessible via Firm Key 5 contains no actual buttons. The channel information on these pages must be entered manually via the keypad.
(Pics of my XM Radio activity as seen in PEP at 50% zoom: Pic 1, Pic 2)
12) My DVD Juke activity now manages a total of 1,835 DVD's. This includes several new DVD box sets such as "Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.0", "Lost: Season 4", "The Office: Season 4", "NCIS: Season 5", "House: Season 4", and "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Season One".
Important Note:
This PackAndGo file requires that your remote be running firmware version 1.4.28 or higher. Said firmware update can be downloaded here.

Lowprow Very nice indeed... On the hard buttons across the bottom of the screen how did you get the text above the button to changed to a pressed state (Black to White) ???
Best Regards, Joe.

The firm key labels are designed to show their pressed state when the corresponding hard button is pressed. As such, I simply edited the pressed state of the text for my firm key labels on the "System" page as seen here.

I recently went back and improved the main background image I'm using throughout my XCF via images from the gallery I had overlooked in addition to doing up backgrounds in different colors for each activity as seen below.
 
*Update on 02/12/2007* Daniel Tonks Galaxy NG game added!
Today I took some time to convert Daniel Tonks Galaxy NG game over for use in the TSU9600. The game has been resized to fill the entire height of the screen and has been centered on screen as well. Looks and plays great on the TSU9600! As of today my TSU9600 PackAndGo file now includes this game accessible from my Activities page as seen below. I've also sent a copy of the game to Daniel, so that it can be posted in the TSU9600 files section once it comes online. If given permission prior to that I'll make it available here at the forums for download.
For those who have access to a TSU9600 and would like to check out my configuration file in the remote feel free to download my PackAndGo file. The download link can be found at the top of this thread. Enjoy!

LP,
I wanted to see just what ya had been up to so I downloaded your P&G file to see it on my 9600. But, all I see is a large TV screen and a picture of a room and it just sits there. Did I miss something or what?
Thanks
PC

You did miss something actually. :-) The below is taken from my initial post found here.

Also, the initial page which comes
up is a splash screen showing the front stage of my home
theater. Technically my Home device, I keep the
remote on this page while cleaning the remote. To proceed
to the Activities page just hit up the power button,
the only button programmed while on this page.
I've highlighted this section in my original post in case others have overlooked this point as well . In any event, hope you enjoy checking out my XCF in your TSU9600. If you have any additional questions don't hesitate to ask.

I made some updates to my XCF over the weekend both to free up additional memory and in preparation for Verizon FiOS TV and Internet which gets installed this Friday. In the end I went from 0% memory free to 4% free. Should keep me going through the end of the year I hope. For those that would like to check out my latest XCF in their remote my PackAndGo file has been updated accordingly. Said updates are listed below, including pics. Enjoy!
 
1) The splash screen on my Home page has been updated. It now simply reads, "Press the power button to begin."
2) Date and time now included in the system area.
3) Settings Button moved from the system area to the lower right side of the screen and now reads, "Setup". Pressing this button down for 4 seconds will take you to the setttings pages of the remote.
4) The lighting icon I had in the upper right corner of the system area has been replaced with an invisible button covering all of the system items on the right side. Tapping this invisible button will take you to my lighting device. My lighting device in turn contains an invisible button in the same location which will browse you backwards to the previous device you were under. Access to my lighting device has also been added to the Activities menu.
5) IR Codes activity added to the Activities menu for accessing my hidden IR code pages.
6) Galaxy 96 activity removed.
7) OTA Tuner activity removed.
8) Cable TV activity removed.
9) Stock panels in use on activity based pages updated. These graphics were much larger than they needed to be as only portions of each were actually positioned on screen. Each have been cropped accordingly cutting their respective file sizes down dramatically.
10) DVD Juke background image updated for better readability of text.
11) FiOS TV activity added which includes several new HD channel logos. Verizon has a few additional HD channels over what Comcast offers.

Wow! I'm sorry to hear that. What does the TSU9600 offer (out of the box) in memory and what exhausted yours so quickly?

I'm not really sure exactly how much space is reserved for ones XCF file in the remote. I can tell you that the TSU9600 has 64 MB SDRAM and 64 MB NAND Flash. I'd imagine that the SDRAM is what is used to store ones configuration file. Not sure if all of that 64 MB is available for ones configuration file however. Part of that could be in use for the firmware. The reason I'm already down to 4% free memory is due to one simple fact. With the TSU9600 we're working with a 640x480 page area, not 240x320 as is the case with the Pronto NG line of remotes. Working at 640x480 means larger graphics which take up more memory. Much more memory. In many cases twice the memory as would be used in the Pronto NG remotes. Considering this fact it's not suprising that I'm running out of memory already. Really bums me out let me tell you. From the very beginning I went to great lengths to optimize my XCF so that I could get the most out of the available memory possible. Was really hoping I'd have more than 4% free memory at this point. Push come to shove there are a few additional things I can do to free up additional memory. Hopefully this 4% will last me a little while. Only time will tell.
