guivarrichio, A bit hard to get a good clear photo of moving video but here are couple of shots.

Hey does your player record from the radio? because I'm about to buy one just like yours but i asked and they said it doesn't (probably your firmware does)

The original pictures posted by Tadad1 are really amazing. The TFT screen really makes a big difference in clarity and crispness, I shall be getting my TFT mp4 player tomorrow so ill tell you how it looks but im sure its going to be amazing.

I have a nano clone that has this firmware but it's 3.2.13 and it looks so much better than any of the other nano firmwares I have the only problem is it's widescreen view which I don't like is there a way to change this?

PlatinumNANO, Sorry the only way you could change the aspect is to change the firmware which as you know can become a problem if you get it wrong.
This layout works ok on this player but it would be a bit strange on a Nano clone with the click wheel style buttons.

The nano I have came with this firmware installed I didn't change anything but when I extract the fw it says 3.5.37 not the same thing it says when I select fw version on the player itself.

I tried to flash my other which has 3.5.35 to no avail but they are identical looking players both with 1.8 in screens, nano clone.

I also have a pink one I sold but it has 3.5.37 yet the menus are completely different and it's a 1.5 and it displays as a 1.5 so I'm not really sure what version is on the one I'm talking about.

The new one I have seems faster is that possible?

PlatinumNANO,
A few players show a different version number on the player than indicated by s1fwx, I think it is generally because of sloppy upgrade coding.
While a few people report that they find 3.5.37 a little faster than 3.5.35 I don't think it is the case with all versions though. I have a 3.5.35 that is almost too responsive and I find myself accidentally navigating to the wrong menu if I press the button a moment to long or accidentily touch the wrong button.
I think some firmware is cleaner than others and so work more efficiently while others still contain obsolete coding and stuff which slows them down. Its a bit like Windows slowing down as it fills up with junk files.
