Greetings!
Thanks to our
russian friends we now know how to change the ugly white boot logo to something more friendly.
- Get a copy of the latest original firmware update
- Extract the .7z, and then the .zip file
- Delete everything but the "META-INF" directory and the "fuse" file.
- Select a nice picture to be used as a boot logo. The picture must be precisely 800 pixels wide and 600 pixels high.
- Convert your picture via the ImageMagick software suit into the proper format:
Code:
$ convert YOUR_PICTURE -depth 8 -separate -swap 0,2 -combine rgba:logo.img
The resulting "logo.img" must be exactly 1920000 Bytes!
- Copy logo.img into the folder where you extracted the .zip file.
The directory structure must look like this:
Code:
$ ls -l userupdate091210_common_PB701SWUPDATE
total 2188
drwx------ 3 user group 4096 Aug 7 11:29 META-INF
-rwx------ 1 user group 76308 Aug 7 08:16 fuse
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 1920000 Jan 10 20:32 logo.img
- Compress the directory:
Code:
$ cd userupdate091210_common_PB701SWUPDATE/
$ zip -r ../userupdate091210_common_PB701SWUPDATE.zip .
$ unzip -l ../logo-update_PB701SWUPDATE.zip
Archive: logo-update_PB701SWUPDATE.zip

- Rename the resulting .zip into something meaningful, like "my-logo_PB701SWUPDATE". Only the "PB701SWUPDATE" is important tho, everything before the "_" gets ignored from what I can tell.
- Place the .zip on the root of your SD card and flash it like a normal firmware update.
