How to change the boot logo ?

[AronA]

Hey,
I was wondering if it was possible to change the boot logo on rockbox...
And by the way, is it possible to change the texts too ? (Shutting down, etc.)

Thank you !

why would you want to change something that you barely see for a second?

The logo and text are bmps and .lang files in the rockbox source. You can change them and compile a custom build with anything you want in them. I'm not really sure where the boot logo is, but the text strings are /apps/lang

Any tutorial to compile a custom build ?
Many thanxx !

Guide to compiling on rockbox.org. Apparently VMWare is the fastest way to compile, but without virtualization tech on my laptop I prefer just running cygwin, even if it takes a little longer. God help ya if you need to build the eabi compiler! It's possible but damn does it take a long time...

The boot bitmaps seem to be in rockbox\apps\bitmaps\native. Good luck!


EDIT: See, this is why I shouldn't take so long to reply haha.

I just ran rockboxdev.sh again after I installed texinfo. That's all I had to do on Ubuntu to upgrade to the EABI compiler. It's really not complicated. You might have to add it to your path in .bashrc as well.

Running it in a VM or just natively in Linux I hear it's fine. I was talking about doing it in cygwin, a process which took both oldschool83 and I several hours.

Takes a few more dependencies in cygwin too, which I list in that link to the RB forum.

you only need virtualization tech to run a 64bit virtual machine. any old cpu can run vmware with a 32bit VM. and a "little longer" is a slight understatement, isn't it? 5 hours VS 10 minutes.

Without virtualization tech it pegs my CPU at 100% the whole time the VM is running, regardless as to if it's actually doing anything or not.

Haha, and it takes 5 hours or so to make the eabi compiler (which, granted, is insane). But for normal builds it's less than 5 15 minutes.

Edit: I exaggerated a little, takes around 15 minutes.

my cpu doesn't have VT and i've never had any problems with cpu usage??

but if you're happy with cygwin, you carry on. i still strongly recommend everyone else not to use it.

Some VM + OS combinations do this. Its not really a problem though, just set the VM priority to 'low'.
