Captain Minus 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2008 Dear Members, This may be my first thread in rimweb. I find this forum very usefull. I want to share the above thing with you. Most of you may be aware of this but for me this was nothing less than a discovery. I just bought this V9m for 19.8k from web world. But however i didnt liked the company logo on the LCD when it is open. plus the start and shutdown sequence was irritating me so i decided to do some changes internally. so iam goining to share that with you. You require 1. Phone V9m 2. Data Cable(shipped with it.) 3. BitPim installer http://bitpim.org/ use the latest version you have to configure BitPim before this you have to install phone driver(which you may have done when installing MPT) for checking wheather drivers are correctly installed go to device manager and under Modems check if you can see " Motorola USB Modem" and under USB Controllers "Motorola USB composite device" Since the V9M is NOT natively supported in Bitpim, the Autodetect feature will fail to find the phone. So manually configure it... Do this by clicking Settings from the Edit pull down menu. Use the Phone Type Box to select "Other CDMA phone" Even if you know the "com port" DO NOT manually set it. Instead, click the Browse button to the right of the Com Port box A Choose Com Port window will pop-upscan ports. It will have 3 "sections" listing Available Ports, Ports Not Available, and Inoperable Ports Select "Motorola USB Modem " from the listing of Available Ports and Click OK. The BitPim settings window show now reflect your phone choice and com port... Making use of the File System feature of BitPim... For ALL PHONES... even those not NATIVELY Supported.... You can make use of the File System "tab" to copy files back to your PC, over write them, and in some cases, even ADD files or folders to the phone... Right Click and get a pop-up menu with actions... Use the VIEW pull down menu and select File System BitPim will now have a File System icon along the left. Click on it In the center column, Click the + next to the folder to expand the listing. Now time for action:- V9M (Verizon firmware) - External Graphic when Flip open -> /mobile/rim_cli.gif... 240x320x8bit (256 color) gif - Startup Sound -> /motorola/system/ui_start_up_mono.mp_ is a 128kbit/44khz/Stereo mp3, renamed to .mp_ (u wont find this file, as the shutdown is used for startup also) - Shutdown Sound -> /motorola/system/ui_start_dn_mono.mp_ is a 128kbit/44khz/Mono mp3, renamed to .mp_ - Startup Picture -> /motorola/system/customer_opening.gif is an Animated 240x320 32bit non-interlaced Gif89a, 17 Frames - Shutdown picture -> /motorola/system/customer_closing.gif is an Animated 240x320 32bit non-interlaced Gif89a, 14 frames you can delete the shutdown tone plus the customr openg and clsing file. This will make your phone start and shutdown fast. put any pic of ur choice 240x320 in the place of rim_cli.gif you will get plenty on net or put of ur own(who cares) regards Capt. Minus p.s. any queries can be sent to me on my email. Source : WWW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mayank.1love 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 i think i know how to change the outer screen graphics on motorola flap phones u have to put in the new graphics file and overwrite the old one.the new file must have the name as the old one. one more important thing is that the size of the new image file must be 240X320 as that of original file otherwise the outer lcd will show a blank instead of image. regards mayank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
