Title: How do I use LogoSwapper?
Post by: St00pid on December 16, 2007, 05:34:43 AM

- iPod video 5G

I downloaded it, and it told me to replace the original bmp at: apps/bitmaps/native

where do I find this directory?

Thanks!

AFAIK you have to download the sources, replace the bitmap, then compile your own build.

Actually, if we're talking about the same program, it allows replacement of the opening splashscreen without having to compile (or am I thinking another such program). But you do need to specify and link to a copy of the original image being replaced.

If I recall correctly, there are links to those images (at least for some of the players) in the threads discussing the program, over at Misticriver.net.  Here's a link; an iPod Video is listed on the 2nd page of threads.

It's this link... http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/apps/bitmaps/native/rockboxlogo.320x98x16.bmp?view=log&pathrev=12987

but that appears to be down right now...

The Misticriver thread itself also contains a number of the images for use.

St00pid: SVN is up once again and the link is working

Alright, thanks a ton. I'm still pretty confused though... I'm trying to make my Rockbox look like this: http://pijulius.blogspot.com/2006/06/rockbox-bootloader-with-fullscreenlogo.html

How can I do that?

Whatever you do - don't use that bootloader - your iPod won't load a current version of Rockbox if you do.

Either use Logoswapper (see the instructinos in the Misticriver link above) or change the splashscreen file and then compile--unless you're already compiling, it will be easier to do the former.
