Bootload Image

[Till]

hi where i need to read how to change standart rockbox bootload image? thx.

[bluebrother]

The documentation. You need to recompile for this, so start with the "for developers" section in the wiki (and obviously the code).

[Till]

Hmmmm thx, but may be there is a complete builds?
Where in that forum i may find complete users rockbox builds?

[AlexP]

There is an unsupported builds forum for people's personal builds.  Please note that they are unsupported.

[bluebrother]

Even with unsupported builds you can't simply change the logo. Unsupported builds usually put their own logo (variant) there.

Ok another question, where put bootloader image in source code??? And what an image size/format???

If i rewrite bootloader image on image in same format and recompile it will be work?

[Chronon]

Yes, you can swap out the bootloader image for one of your own.

There's a program called Logo Swapper on the UsefulTools page on the wiki.  You might find it useful.  Note the caveats on the LogoSwapper page, though.

Thx it is really useful, but i have one trouble, how to change on that? it write about error size 
Where a may find the same resolution base image for source?

You can find the original bitmaps via the link at the bottom of the LogoSwapper page.

Also, please use standard English on these forums (thx -> thanks).

Sorry for my English because I'm russian

I found a standart bitmaps but i need to change bootlogo for iPod 5.5 size rockboxlogo.320x98x16 on full screen logo 320x240. It is accepted my iPod, but LogoSwapper unable to locate that size in rockbox.ipod binary. (see a screenshot upper). Is it mean that if i want to see a fullscreen splash i need to change and recompile this binary? 

I saw that it is possible in one of unsupported bilulds but i don't know how i may do this, what need to change? 

[Chronon]

You will need to build your own Rockbox, then.

[tdtooke]

You want to swap your image with the image your device uses in apps/bitmaps/native and edit the line where it says  lcd_bitmap(rockboxlogo, 0, 10, BMPWIDTH_rockboxlogo, BMPHEIGHT_rockboxlogo) to be lcd_bitmap(rockboxlogo, 0, 0, the width of your screen , the height of your screen) in apps/misc.c to have a fullscreen logo.  You can't use logoswapper to pull this off because it's looking for a logo that is the same size as what you have which is fullscreen.

Hey:)

You dont need to make a new build to change the image!

Just use logoswapper:

It works great and I havent had any problems at all:)

Good Luck!

I'm sure it works pretty good on windows but is there any equivalent for mac. I tried it on wine and it did not work. I would try to port except I have no knowledge of programming.

[Chronon]

kanebt, I already mentioned that upthread.  Notice that Till wants to swap in a fullscreen image, while Logo Swapper only allows you to replace bitmaps of identical size.
