Need help with LogoSwapper

[Immortal]

Sry for my english, I hope that I don't confuse you with my expresions. I have a problem with the LogoSwapper. (i have an ipod5.5g80gb)

I've made my own splashscreen: size (320x240x16)

that i want to replace with the original Logo:


how exactly can i do this? i tried to visit the link, where i can find the bitmap, which has to be replaced with my splashscreen, but i thought, it isn't possible to replace my bmp with 320x240 with that logo 320x98 what can i do now?

Since LogoSwapper is not software that is part of the Rockbox distribution, you should contact the original author for support:  http://www.misticriver.net/showthread.php?t=52672

The Original Image and the Replacement Image must have the same size. That's your problem.

i know, that this is the problem... the question is: how to fix it? can i get here fullscreen rockbox logos 320x240, which i can replace?

[Mikerman]

As far as I am aware, you cannot "fix" it as you want--the replacement logo must be the same size as the original.

You can not fix it with the program in question.
To do more than a simple apple for apple / orange for orange swap you need to compile your own build.

aah. thx for information:

so i have to use an existing custom-build.

Or compile your own, which I strongly suggest as not only are none of the iPod video Unsupported Builds current, all the maintainers seem to be losing interest.
Rockbox provides your choice of three build enviroments, it is quite easy to get started.

that spash screen looks very nice. too bad i can never get logo swapper to work. i wonder if we'll ever get custom splash screens on rockbox. i see theres a patch on flyspray though

[Immortal]

does it mean, that i would have to compile that build for every rockbox-daily build i want to upload or is that an extra file that doesn't affect the conventional rockbox update process?

[Chronon]

Immortal, it means that every time you want a new build with that splash screen you must compile it yourself.  But, trust me, once you have an environment set up (svn, cross-compilers, etc.) it's really not a big deal to update your local source tree and compile a build using your own image.

Adding to what Chronon said here are the directions to change the bootsplash for your player, these are directions for my Gigabeat they may be different for your Ipod:

1) Go into apps/bmps/native and modify the image for your player(ie. replace the image)

2) In apps/misc.c change line 891 (exact line number may change in the future) from:

Code: [Select]

lcd_bitmap(rockboxlogo, 0, 10, BMPWIDTH_rockboxlogo, BMPHEIGHT_rockboxlogo);

TO

Code: [Select]

lcd_bitmap(rockboxlogo, 0, 0, BMPWIDTH_rockboxlogo, BMPHEIGHT_rockboxlogo);

Optional) On the Gigabeat it says the version number at the bottom in a very ugly color therefore ruining the entire image. To make it not appear edit the following line 895 (may change in the future):

Code: [Select]

snprintf(version, sizeof(version), "Ver. %s", appsversion);

TO

Code: [Select]

snprintf(version, sizeof(version), "", appsversion);

You'll get a small error during compilation about a zero length string but don't worry I've been doing this for a while and no problems.
