Devo6/8/12: 'Standard' icon menu for 'Advanced'?

It's a good idea to have a similar way of using one gui or the other. This will make the change easier for advanced newbies.
As Vlad mentioned I would clearly state which mode is actually used. And FDR's idea of disabling some of the icons which do not make sense for a particular model type is also a good idea.
Maybe this is the chance to get the plane flyers better integrated since they can not use the standard gui. I would recommend to add some "switch buttons" in the first row where we can choose between heli/atd, heli/adv and plane/adv (with a marker what is actually selected and a 'are you sure'-dialog wen trying to switch) (perhaps with the "load template" button nearby). This will give us the freedom to place different buttons with different pages behind in the rest of the page.
If we go this way we could also add a tx config button on the model menu page to have it all reachable from one page.

I am not sure I understand correctly, but I don't see the value of a menu system based on the Standard GUI icons unless you change the sub-pages it links to, to support only that menu function/item.

The logic behind Deviation's advance GUI is channel based, not function based as with the Std GUI and Walkera firmware

For instance - If I select Subtrim the proposed "advance" GUI menu page, I would expect a list if all the servo channels and a Subtrim entry for each.

Or do I completely misunderstand what you propose?

Honestly I can't understand half of those icons, and I don't know how you could present the info in a pictorial sense; using text seems a lot clearer and quicker to decipher, unless the user has been using the icons for a while?

I for one would like to have the icons. When I first bought my 8s, I thought the standard GUI was more sophisticated and powerful compared to the advanced one. But I do fly primarily planes, so I know what most of the icons are for and how to use them. That being said, that is why I wouldn't mind seeing the icons to navigate the FW. I can understand icons better than the language used to explain what each menu is for and how to navigate and figure out what I want to do. But that's just me and my 2 cents. Either way you guys go will be great for me, this FW upgrade is why I purchased the 8s. Same reason my first Tx was a Flysky 9x, that I immediately modded upon receiving. I don't care for the Tx's out there that cannot be upgrade or modded in the direction the user prefers. Being lockrd into a certain protocol and method to use without being able to further the power of the Tx by modding the FW or HW/FW just isn't for me. Moving forward, fixing, adding and improving the Tx in either the FW or HW and FW just allows the user to be more gratified in this great hobby. Sorry for all my rambling, I just really like Deviation and what it has done for what would be just another Tx in the world of typical Tx's.
