Shutdown message

[Elaphe]

Something I'm curious about: can the shutdown message be customized?

Also, I've been able to change the boot logo with my own logo using LogoSwapper. However, the stock logo still appears for a moment before mine. Is it normal?

Yes, it can, but you will need to modify the language file you want to modifiy (apps/lang/english.lang for English) and (re)compile.

LogoSwapper is third party, and entirely unsupported. The "right" way to do this is to compile your own binary, as theunamedguy states.

Oh, I see.
Where can I  find the source code?
Do I need any special tools for compiling such as mingw?
Is it written in C?

http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/DevelopmentGuide gives some info on this.

You will need a unix-like system, as developing on windows is a joke.

After that, you will can to edit the rockbox/apps/lang/english.lang file to your liking, and then compile and install.
http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/HowToCompile details these steps.

You can't use an x86 Windows compiler like minigw for rockbox.  Instead you'll need to use the one we provide, probably for ARM.  Check out the dev guide on the left side of the screen

Seems like you're asking two questions.

For the shutdown message, you could edit the rockbox.<target> file in a hex editor and change it (as long as you only want it shorter or the same length).

For your boot splash question. You need to change the bootloader splash image which means you need to rebuild it yourself - which is very much not recommended. Depending on your target that will likely brick it if you screw up.

No, the string for the shutdown message is in the language file. So, a (re)compile is neccessary.

For your boot splash question. You need to change the bootloader splash image which means you need to rebuild it yourself - which is very much not recommended. Depending on your target that will likely brick it if you screw up.

To change the boot logo, you can edit rockbox/apps/bitmaps/native/rockboxlogo.*.bmp and recompile.
