V8 "iconres.ezx" unpack and repack?

[rasputin007]

Hi has anybody been able to unpack the V8 "iconres.ezx" file?
I tried it with Kview 0.5 and the Perl script, but both do NOT work with the V8 iconres.ezx file.
The iconres.ezx file contains not only the skin graphics, but also the DRM icons, so once this file can be changed it would be possible to give each skin a custom look and custom DRM icons.
I attached a iconres.ezx in zip format from the V8 so you can test it.
PS The gifs are extracted correctly, but all other images are distorted.

I try with my newest unpackIconres.pl. It work fine.
V8 iconres.ezx have 2610 icons inside. take a long time to completely unpack.

BUT problem is nearly almost of them are XXX.k.gif that cannot view in PC. little of them are normal gif and name are in format XXX.g.gif. I try to rename XXX.k.gif to another like png, bmp, wav, mp3 but not working at all. so I don't know what XXX.k.gif is?


for a newest unpackIconres.pl it's in skin forums.

Cheers, I will try the newest version!
The major problem is that Z6 iconres.ezx can be opened, but V8 iconres.ezx can not, despite both phones are using the same MOTOMAGX OS.?????

yes. new version I just change reading algorithm of unpackIconres.pl. but iconres.ezx file structure still the same only order of Icon hash Id was changed. like from E680/E680i/A780/A1200 and changed when E6 launch.

I tried a Z6 skin with a Z6 iconres.ezx on the V8, all text and positions were correct only the background images were very bizzare looking, not recommended for retrial!!!

@ eakrin
I attached 3 fies, they are all the same graphic, 2 are from Z6 (*.bmp and *.k files) and the other is from V8 (only *.k file).
I extracted them all with Kview 0.5.
When I look at the *k files with Hex Editor the header and ends are different, also the V8 file is 4 bytes bigger.
I do not know if that would help you since I do not understand anything about extraction, but if you could find a way of extracting and repacking the files in the V8-iconres.ezx that would help enormously.
