Alternate touchscreen GUI with icons

[coutinpe]

Folks, I've been using this alternate skin for several months and I love it, but lately I am noticing it's taking up to several seconds to switch from one display to another (like map to music or lane camera to whatever it was before). This seems to be getting worse with time. Has anyone else noticed this problem? I am fearing it might be Android bloatware, had a similar issue with my android devices and that's why I switched to apple...

This skin is cool but there is a bug on the clock screen. It always shows the default wallpaper even I have set a custom one if the clock type is analog. But for other clock types it works fine.

I am new to Honda but apparently Clarity is using the older infotainment system whereas other models have moved on. A bit odd for such an otherwise high tech car. One good thing about that for me though is apparently the newer systems replace the right lane camera with blind-spot-monitoring. I so much like and appreciate the right lane camera. Some people complain that it comes on when they are trying to view nav directions, and either they have turned off the feature or were considering turning it off. When I tell them you just have to press the button on the stalk and it turns off temporarily until the next time, to a person they didn't realize that and said they will now keep it active.

Also I don't think everyone knows that you can turn on the camera anytime by pressing the stalk button. Just yesterday I was driving on the freeway in the second lane from the right and was in one of those situations where I needed to change lanes prior to my exit coming up in about two miles but there were no gaps at the moment and there was a car shadowing me just behind me on the right. Instead of constant neck craning like I would have had to do in the past, I just turned on the right lane camera and was able to monitor what was going on over there. Within a mile or so a large gap opened up (confirmed with one final neck crane) and I was able to easily and safely change lanes.

Sure BSM is nice but like any sensor it's not perfect, if I had to choose between the two I would definitely take the camera. Like others I wish it had both, and I wish the camera was also on the left side, but realistically the right side is more critical, I don't think BSM works on the left side either?

I believe someone in the Clarity PHEV group on Facebook added a left side camera and posted about it. I'll try to find it. I found it, but linking to a search result in a group is non-existent. If you go to FB users group and search for mirror (white box at the left) and find one by Sunny Lambert re "Problem solved for $49.95 on Amazon. Green Yi camera and monitor installed in less than 1 hour." that's the one.

I like the idea of the alternate GUI based skin. I played around with it a bit. I tend to leave my touchscreen in audio mostly, listening to XM radio. I like all the functionality and 12 button pre-sets in the Audio player as shown in 1st photo. But the GUI based skin givens me the player in the 2nd pic. Half the screen (right side) is taken up by the 4 button choices and none of the channel pre-sets are available on the left. Is there any flexibility with the GUI skin Audio to get the Audio like the 1st pic? Thanks (answered myself see at bottom - but thought this might be of interest, so posted)

Played some more, you CAN get the full player - just tap in the upper left quadrant where the mini player display is showing current track and it expands to full screen (see below)

My main gripe about the audio player skin is that there's no option where it will display long titles without problems. In any of the display options, it cuts off either long song titles or long artist names or long album names. There's no UI option where it actually allocates enough room to show long fields for all three.
