Guest frmariam Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) As I'm writing this I'm thinking once again that this is the last time I buy a branded phone... I have an Omnia from TMN (Portugal) and those guys decided that branding the startup/shutdown wasn't enough and branded my main menu. I know it's possible to hack and edit the theme (although I'm not sure which app is best for the job and the detailed properties of the images used as icons). They also changed the text beneath some of the icons ("Internet was changed to their service name) and worst, they put an unmoveable shortcut for MeoMobile (mobile tv service) in the user defined shortcurts... This last one especially ticks me off... I tried editing the text under the browser icon (which is also branded and again tried to change to the default one in free devices) to "Internet" in the mui file but launcher wouldn't display correctly then. Also tried to edit the exe but it won't work afterwards (signed by Samsung?)... Is there any sort of patch or hack required? Or is this not possible? I noticed the official Portuguese ROM is available but don't know if it has these files unbranded (Omnia is not available unlocked in my country for now... or so I think). How do I extract it (if not for anything else to check if this is the branded rom)? I really don't want to flash my device for the time being... I'll leave those untouched files here (please remove them if that's not allowed) P.S: By the way can anyone attach the original boot/shutdown images and sounds (these were changed too).i900.rar Edited November 13, 2008 by frmariam
Guest Mig-L - Bell Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 Amigo queres um conselho? Mete uma ROM sem nada da TMN isso só vai dar problemas... E assim ficas com o menu porreiro e muitos outras funcionalidades novas que a ROM da TMN não tem... Aconselho a DXHH1... Abraço Sorry guys about me speeking portuguese it's easyer... Cheers
Guest frmariam Posted November 14, 2008 Report Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) Obrigado mas realmente não pretendo flashar o meu pda... Pretendo manter o sistema no meu idioma a não ser que existam alternativas que valham o risco. As roms oficiais não o valem (penso que a portuguesa é mais actual que a referida) e as cooked são ainda muito instáveis/imprevisíveis (as kitchens não são ainda maduras o suficiente) e há muitos relatos de bricks... Sorry again for the portuguese... I just meant to reassure that I don't want to flash my device... I'd just like the info on how to: 1- Edit launch.exe (doesn't run after modified... Samsung signed?) 2- Edit the respective .mui and .skin files (which app to use... can I modify the text... what are the icons properties) 3- Extract files from an update/rom 4- Can someone provide me the default boot and shutdown images and sounds (the ones on unlocked, unbranded mobiles) Edited November 14, 2008 by frmariam
Guest frmariam Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) I just found the needed tools over at XDA-Devs! Here is the topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432041 Aparently this will work with anything you may want to edit (at least now the edited files I try are launched and don't give me any signing warnings). Problem is I still don't have the know how... I found it's easy enough to edit the Launcher.exe and I can delete the MeoMobile icon but still that space in the user defined shortcuts section will have the text decribing it (MeoMobile) and will launch that function... Don't know what to do about this... Help is apreciated (and sorry for double posting). Also can you answer point 3 and 4 in the post above? Edited November 17, 2008 by frmariam
