I wanted to change my T68 so that when it is sleeping or off, the splash screen shows my contact details. This is just in case I leave it somewhere; people will know who it belongs to and how to contact me.

I copied the file /system/framework/framework-res.apk off my T68 to a Linux box. Using the jar tool, I unpacked the APK file:

Code:

jar vxf framework-res.apk

In the assets/images folder there are two files: standby-1.bmp and shutdown.bmp. They are 1440x1080 landscape greyscale images.

To replace them, I created two portrait 1080x1440 images with my photo and contact details. I rotated them clockwise to be in landscape format and saved them as greyscale BMP files, overwriting standby-1.bmp and shutdown.bmp.

Using the jar tool, I updated these two images in the framework-res.apk file:

Code:

jar uvf framework-res.apk assets/images/shutdown.bmp assets/images/standby-1.bmp

Using Root Explorer, I mounted the /system/framework folder read-write, and copied in the new framework-res.apk file. Then I rebooted the T68.
