Great looking guide thelaxplaya7 !

Thanks for the post thomas:thumbup:

Thread stuck.

[Thomas]

I forgot to stick it :o Thanks Tank! I have tried this guide about 5 times, It works great & no bricks! I think if you add the starting firmware for V9x & Euro V9 like following the example in the code preview it could also work on other V9 versions also. I wanted to post this here as some V9 owners were asking about it. Have fun! :)

Hehe nice guide, i'll add something to this guide as soon as i have time to play with my V9 ;)

[fldodger]

[skulls]

fldodger or anyone that knows...what format should your image be.tried in jpeg,then jpg and it came out splotchy. should it be png wonder? v9x though it did work.

[fldodger]

I don't think this will work with info above.

[engrbugs]

should it work with my v9x? btw, what is bootscreen? is it the startup picture or the back-logo when i open the flip? thanks!

[Hendz]

^^^sure that was a BOOTSCREEN thing... a logo appeared on the first time you starts up the phone... we read it as a "but-skrin" :D :D :D
Another possibility is by using the P2K-Commander v6, browse to Drive A, in the "/system" folder, there you will see a file named "Cust...gif" that can easily be replaced by other GIF file as you want.
