Ipalmpre: /* Boot Themes */

{{template:patch}}
When the Pre is booting or shutting down, the screen fades between two images - ''/palm-logo.png'' and ''/palm-logo-bright.png'' located in ''/usr/palm/sysmgr/images''. By replacing either or both of these images, the boot logo can be customized. This requires [[Portal:Accessing_Linux | access to the Pre's OS]].

Works with: 1.0.3, 1.1

== Replacing the Files==

'''Step One'''
Log into the phone via ssh and copy the files to the USB drive.
<pre><nowiki>
mkdir /media/internal/bootlogo
cp /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo* /media/internal/bootlogo
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Two'''
Modify the files with your favorite editor (Gimp, Photoshop, ImageMagick, MS Paint, etc.)

'''Step Three'''
Save the new images to the ''bootlogo'' directory on the Pre's USB drive.

'''Step Four'''
Log into the phone via ssh, remount the root filesystem read-write, backup the existing files, copy the new images into place, and remount the root filesystem read-only.
<pre><nowiki>
sudo mount -o rw,remount /
sudo cp -ip /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo.png.orig
sudo cp -ip /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo-bright.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo-bright.png.orig
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/palm-logo.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo.png
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/palm-logo-bright.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo-bright.png
sudo mount -o ro,remount /
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Five'''
Restart Luna and watch your awesome new logo.
<pre><nowiki>
pkill LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

== Taking it to the Next Step==

With a small bit of scripting, we can have separate boot and shutdown themes. The first thing to do is to create regular and "bright" images for booting and shutting down. Save the new images to the ''bootlogo'' directory on the Pre's USB drive. (Steps 1-3 above).

'''Step One'''
Log into the phone via ssh, remount the root filesystem read-write, and create a directory in /opt to store the new images. We're using /opt, as the script we'll modify later will copy files, and /usr is mounted read-only.
<pre><nowiki>
sudo mount -o rw,remount /
sudo mkdir -p /opt/share/bootimages
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Two'''
Copy the new images to /opt/share/bootimages, naming them palm-logo-up.png, palm-logo-up-bright.png, palm-logo-down.png and palm-logo-down-bright.png. Additionally, copy the shutdown files to palm-logo.png and palm-logo-bright.png.
<pre><nowiki>
cd /opt/share/bootimages/
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/<boot image> palm-logo-up.png
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/<bright boot image> palm-logo-up-bright.png
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/<shutdown image> palm-logo-down.png
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/<bright shutdown image> palm-logo-down-bright.png
sudo cp palm-logo-down.png palm-logo.png
sudo cp palm-logo-down-bright.png palm-logo-bright.png
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Three'''
Backup the current logo images, if you haven't already.
<pre><nowiki>
sudo cp -ip /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo.png.orig
sudo cp -ip /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo-bright.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo-bright.png.orig
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Four'''
Delete the current logo images and replace them with symlinks to the files in our new directory in /opt
<pre><nowiki>
cd /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/
sudo rm palm-logo-bright.png
sudo rm palm-logo.png
sudo ln -s ../../../../../opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-bright.png palm-logo-bright.png
sudo ln -s ../../../../../opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo.png palm-logo.png
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Five'''
Back up and edit /etc/init.d/start_animation, adding the switching of the files
<pre><nowiki>
sudo cp -ip /etc/init.d/start_animation /etc/init.d/start_animation.orig
sudo -e /etc/init.d/start_animation
</nowiki></pre>
Before the line starting with ''if [ -x /usr/bin/luna-send'' add the following:
<pre><nowiki>
ok=no
if [ -f /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-up.png ] && \
[ -f /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-up-bright.png ] && \
[ -f /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-down.png ] && \
[ -f /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-down-bright.png ] ; then
cp /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-down.png /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo.png
cp /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-down-bright.png /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-bright.png
ok=yes
fi
</nowiki></pre>
At the very end of the file, add the following:
<pre><nowiki>
if [ "$ok" = "yes" ] ; then
sleep 5
cp /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-up.png /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo.png
cp /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-up-bright.png /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-bright.png
fi
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Six'''
Restart Luna and watch your awesome new logos.
<pre><nowiki>
pkill LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>
