General astetic questions
« on: September 14, 2004, 04:14:53 pm »
I have searched for an answer and I haven't found it yet.

I'm running a 5600 with standard Sharp Rom.

Is there a way to change the Sharp Boot screen?
Is there a way to change the password screen (background, numbers, etc.)?

Any response is greatly appreciated.

The boot screen is set by the kernel, so you would need to flash a different kernel or compile your own.

I don't have a 5600, so I can't answer the password screen question.

The short answer?

No and no.


The slightly more complex answer?

Yes and yes. Unfortunately this would require heavy work on the kernel to replace the boot screen, AFAIK. On the password screen, it'd take some re-coding in the Qtopia source code. Unfortunatly, Sharp uses modified code from the GPL Qtopia, and I don't even think 1.5.0 Qtopia is available for download anymore.

But the sort answer is probably the most relevant. Hard to do.
Sorry. I just don't have the time...
