Hi @cryoshad,
Really it`s a good idea to have a modified working image. Perhaps, if you decide to do it, would be great to share with others Zynthiadicts through dropbox or other similar cloud storage. I also think that the final goal should be to give to @jofemodo the “magic recipe” to setup our rpi official touchscreen in order him to add to the new setup process he is working on.
Regards, Jose
