ADVANCED CUSTOMIZATION MANUAL PRS-505
The package installation hacks in the PRS-505 by the application of Flasher
Igorsk can add useful features to customize the reader and
icons, font type and size and the name, telephone and e-mail the owner at the
About screen reader "in the" Settings ".
It also documented the change of the logo "Reader" from the main screen for a
logo a user's taste.
You can find instructions for hacking the reader and change the logo on
http://prs-
505.webcindario.com/personalizar.htm
This manual aims to go a little farther on customization, changing logos and
copyright texts on the screen "About Reader" for text and graphics
that the user wants.
Original screen display sample custom
Let me explain how it's done in three parts, change graphics, change text and
load the reader.
Changing graphics
We can start from the original graphics or creating new ones. The graphics file
is the original "kBookLogos.png.
This graph has a size of 210x280 pixels and consists of four graphs
interior size 210x70 pixels.
To edit or create a new,
need an editing program
Graphics (Photoshop, PaintShopPro, etc ...).
Open the file or kBookLogos.png
create a new blank image
210x280 pixels which will name
kBookLogos.png (respecting upper
sensitive).
Then create a new image and the target of 210x70 pixels and
insert inside the graphic or picture that we want to incorporate. We can
make up to four times.
Using the "copy and paste" insert the four graphs in the right order and one
after another in the kBookLogos.png. If you use the original file, put your
covering the original image you want. I'll have a picture with the four
graphics that are incorporated into the reader.
For now we keep this file and
we will modify the text.

Change text
To change the screen text "About Reader" must be replaced
original copyrights referred to by those of your own.
The texts are in the file "main.xml" and is the same file that incorporates
hacks and we carry the reader through the Flasher. For this customization
I modified the file (keeping the hacks) for greater convenience when
incorporate your own texts.
You will find the "main.xml" amended
http://prs-505.webcindario.com/descargas.htm
Under "customize"
The first is to edit the "main.xml" with Notepad (right-click> Open
With> Notepad).
To locate the texts to replace, perform a search with the menu
Edit> Search or using the keys Ctrl + B. In the search text Put XXXX and give
to "find next".
You will find the first text to change. The rest are below. You have already
deduced that the amendment "main.xml" is to put "X" in the spaces
where there was the original text and now you have to do is change these X by
your data, phrases, ... and save the changes to the file "main.xml"
?
No problem to replace the X with sentences shorter or longer. Depending on the
text size that you put, the graphics are more or less separate or even
will text and graphics to a next page of "About Reader.
Load the reader
We already have two files with the changes in graphics (kBookLogos.png) and text
(main.xml) made.
We begin with the process of loading the hacks in the reader. Therefore we created the SD
with the directory structure and files downloading and following the instructions of
http://prs-505.webcindario.com/personalizar.htm
With the SD set, you ought to copy the files "kBookLogos.png" and "main.xml" on
folder "scripts".
For those of you 1.1.00.18040 firmware, the route is as follows:
H: \ files.505.1.1.00.18040 \ opt \ sony \ ebook \ application \ resources \ scripts (where H:
letter assigned to the SD).
For firmware 1.2.00.18050, the path is:
H: \ files.505.1.2.00.18050 \ opt \ sony \ ebook \ application \ resources \ scripts
You ought to replace the "main.xml" For the existing amended by you.
Finally, try to follow the same process to load the hacks. Insert the
SD on the reader, will open the Flasher. Press 5. When the success message, press 6.
With the success message, press 9 to remove the SD reader.
After restarting the reader will already be loaded graphics and text to your liking.
