MPX 220 External Display

[Guest Julie U]

Hi, I haven't used forums much so please bear with me if I make protocol mistakes. I did a search on my topic first but don't see anything.

I love the MPX 220 after a week and am just starting to realize how customizable it is. Got lots of great info from this forum already on that including the timeout for the external display.

What I want to know is there anyway to program the External Display? This is my first flip phone. Current info shown is fine but I expected that when a reminder popped that the External Display would at least show the title. Without that I need to open the phone to see what the meeting, task, etc. is for.

Is there anyway to program/change what is shown on the External Display?

Thanks in advance - any help would be greatly appreciated. Julie

What a great idea! I fear it was too great to have ocurred to Moto though. I bet someone out there could tweak the phone to do it though. C'mon Hardcore guys, any takers?

Where did you go to change the background image?

Where did you go to change the background image?

The external LCD images are located here: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\ExternalLCD]

"BgImage" = "\Storage\My Documents\ExtLCD\Longhorn Bliss.jpg"

So just drop your images into that same folder and you'll be able to select it.
