So i assume "Unreal" is EPIC's Unreal gaming engine. So those who have enabled it, are you seeing performance improvements?
sync (HAL) for me still takes 20 to 30 seconds to boot up
, this is phone connecting, wifi, etc. set seat heat or cool, all the creature comforts its decides i need ON at the time ?
for me the screen sharpness of better for my old eyes, it give me the appearance of more depth
lola usually boots up about the same time in the dash camera

Is it just me but with the climate bar enabled we lose full screen google maps with AA I could not get the map to expand to full screen disabled the climate bar and now I can. That seems pretty dumb thing to mess with.

Just enabled the Unreal theme. Definately a work in progress by Ford. Audio balance adjustment is messed up and not lined up to the truck and some text overflows in places in the sidecar.

I'm in Carplay 99% of the time so I think I'm just going back.

For the 75th splash screen, you get it on start up, does that screen show for shut down too? I made the forscan change and I get the 75th splash screen on start up, but the big ford oval when I shut the truck off.
Does anyone know if on my 2021 F150 I can change the splash screen from the ford oval to the Cobra Ford performance?

So I forscanned the unreal theme. Added the climate bar, the cooled/heated seats and heated steering wheel to the bottom.

Now that I’ve done it I’ll say two things.

The unreal theme looks great. To me, makes it appear a bit more upscale.

Secondly, not sure I’m a fan of the added climate controls to the bottom of the screen.
At first I thought it looked cool and served a nice function but after messing with it I realized it’s completely unnecessary and kinda muddles up the screen. I’m thinking about taking them back off. Anyone else feel that way!?

Completely agree, you also lose the bottom row of buttons, Radio, Carplay, Settings, Vehicle, etc.
After seeing it, I removed it. The value added doesn't equal the value lost.

I could do that with Sync 3 in my 2018 STX using the sync diagnostic page but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that in Sync 4.

I finally got around to messing with it this weekend (I had father's day time to screw around...) I updated to Unreal theme and tried a few splash screens. Thanks for the tip.
But... I noticed when I started my truck this morning, the Unreal theme is gone? Does it time out or is there another way to keep it active?

I made several changes, and all working great except the the climate bar.

I found the same thing as above. I enabled the unreal theme which gave a nice appearance to the entire display, enabled the heated seats, steering wheel, and the 75th anniversary splash screen.
Splash screen looks great!
When I enabled the climate bar, it took away all the buttons for Nav, Car Play, and other essential buttons, and to get to the Nav or other functions, you had to go through multiple steps and guesses on where to go. Hitting the home button in upper left did not really do much for me at all. I disabled it since it took more steps to operated the heated and cooled seats over just hitting the buttons just below the screen, but I did like having one place for going to heated or cooled just by touching higher or lower on the icons.

What I really wanted for the seats is a graphic showing the actual seat like I saw in other posts. Does the Sync 4 do that? Is there a way to enable a screen showing the seats, HSW, and other options separately? I saw in one post where it showed the car play with several options such as the seats, HVAC controls, and other buttons all in one place. I would love to see that.

I tried twice to also add the Global windows options. I enabled this in all six? areas, but they still no workie!

Thanks for all of you posting! Great info here!
Did you ever figure out how to add heated and cooled seats graphic to the top climate bar?

If you are a Waze User, let me know if you lose the "hamburger" menu icon (upper left) when using it in AA
Now that you mention it, I haven't had the hamburger icon in a long time. I'm on the beta version though, so maybe that's why? I also always use it in full screen. Now I think I have some testing to do. ?

Does anyone know the APIM code for going from the 75th anniversary screen back to the regular Ford Screen?

Did you make a backup before making the change?

If not, there is an easy way to solve that. Go to APIM (easy mode, not “as-built” option). When that is loaded, in the search bar type in “Splash” and find the selection that says FORD or similar, you will see it. Write to truck and it will revert back to stock Ford screen after 2-3 cycles. Cheers!
