Changing power_up and power_down images

[spock]

Hi, this small tut is to show how you can change the power_up/power_down screen in your A910.
1. Telnet into your mobile and run samba
2 From your explorer go to \\192.168.16.2\system
3. Copy your chosen power_up/down gifs to a location you can write to. I chose /ezxlocal; e.g. /ezxlocal/splash_powerdown.gif and /ezxlocal/splash_powerup.gif
4. go to ezx_user/download/appwrite/setup/theme and copy (you can just drag and drop) file User_0.chm to a directory of your choice -we will be editing this file.
5. Open User-0.chm with text editor. Below is what default one looks like:
[THEME_CONFIG_TABLE]
CalendarAlarm = /usr/data_resource/ringtone/rt_alert_1.mid
CallAlertLine1 = /usr/data_resource/ringtone/rt_polyphonic_alert_1.mid
CallAlertLine2 = /usr/data_resource/ringtone/rt_alert_1.mid
EmailAlert = /usr/data_resource/ringtone/rt_alert_1.mid
IMAlert = /usr/data_resource/ringtone/rt_alert_1.mid
LightAlert = /usr/data_resource/funlight/btactive.flt
MsgAlert = /usr/data_resource/ringtone/rt_alert_1.mid
PowerOffScreen = /usr/data_resource/poweroff/splash_powerdown_ani_full.gif
PowerOnScreen = /usr/data_resource/poweron/splash_powerup_ani_full.gif
ScreenSaver =
Skin = /usr/data_resource/skin/default1
ThemeName = Moto
VMAlert = /usr/data_resource/ringtone/rt_alert_1.mid
WallPaper = /usr/data_resource/picture/ss_energy_240x320.gif
WallPaperLayout = Fit-to-Screen
[THEME_PROP_TABLE]
CopyRight = Motorola inc.
CreatedTime = 5/5/1978
GridIcon =
ListIcon =
PackagePath =
ParentPath = /usr/data_resource/theme/theme1.phm
ThemeSize = 1224913

As you can see we have to alter the line referencing the power_up/down screen to access the ones you copied (in my example to /ezxlocal).
6. My modified one is shown below:
[THEME_CONFIG_TABLE]
CalendarAlarm = /usr/data_resource/ringtone/rt_alert_1.mid
CallAlertLine1 = /usr/data_resource/ringtone/rt_polyphonic_alert_1.mid
CallAlertLine2 = /usr/data_resource/ringtone/rt_alert_1.mid
EmailAlert = /usr/data_resource/ringtone/rt_alert_1.mid
IMAlert = /usr/data_resource/ringtone/rt_alert_1.mid
LightAlert = /usr/data_resource/funlight/btactive.flt
MsgAlert = /usr/data_resource/ringtone/rt_alert_1.mid
PowerOffScreen = /ezxlocal/splash_powerdown.gif
PowerOnScreen = /ezxlocal/splash_powerup.gif
ScreenSaver =
Skin = /usr/data_resource/skin/default1
ThemeName = Moto
VMAlert = /usr/data_resource/ringtone/rt_alert_1.mid
WallPaper = /usr/data_resource/picture/ss_energy_240x320.gif
WallPaperLayout = Fit-to-Screen
[THEME_PROP_TABLE]
CopyRight = Motorola inc.
CreatedTime = 5/5/1978
GridIcon =
ListIcon =
PackagePath =
ParentPath = /usr/data_resource/theme/theme1.phm
ThemeSize = 1224913
7. Once the changes are made, save it and overwrite it in the same location your copied it from.
This should now show your chosen power_up/down screens.
The power_down image will be displayed as soon as you shutdown your mobile, however, for reasons I still don't know the power_up image does not get displayed !!
BTW, this is also how you would modify any other themes/skins you load. All E2 skins will comes with a .chm file which can be modified as shown above to change all the parameters shown in the .chm
Notice also that we can move some of these files to the SD card, e.g. if you have a large mp3 you want to have as the default ring tone for your skin then we can changel;
CallAlertLine1 = /ezxlocal/download/appwrite/skin/Newbie_2/n-mix.mp3
to:
CallAlertLine1 = /mmc/mmca1/n-mix.mp3 -here we are putting n-mix.mp3 in the root of the SD card.
