Rsrc2_S8500(Low).rc2
Rsrc2_S8500(Mid).rc2
Differs in 1 Byte...
2.
This Byte enables Debug Mode, there are 3 Values (maybe more):
00 - OFF---> Internal menu not work--->Low
01 - On ----> Internal menu work -> MID
02 - then also Samsung DIAGnostic Port is activated and full Debug
Internal menu is this thingie here:

There are several Boot Pictures included...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10624798&postcount=4
First short test is attached.
Not exact match...
First Goal is to change for instance Pictures.
Best Regards
how did you skip press "0" for 2 secs message?
10 bpp... maybe we can bring more color into it.
This Pic starts at 0x21000
00 is black
FF seems white... if someone only paint via HEX Editor.
Attached are 3 Original RC2 files and extracted RAW Pic...
Irfanview Settings are on Screenshot.
Best Regards
Edit 1.
The other Pic after this is Battery...
Edit 2.
Maybe 16 bpp
480 x 800 Pixel * 2 Byte (16 bpp) = 768000 Byte
My RAW files are too big. Need to cut few Bytes... sorry.
http://home.arcor.de/xgidesign/test/resman_ge_down.html
resMAN converts into correct 16 bpp Format.
It seems more features included, like TFS Browser... not tested yet.
Tested and works.
Now I have colorfull Bootscreen.
I have only identified 2 Pictures... Logo and Battery. Both 480 x 800 Pixel.
Best Regards
Can you upload one sample screen from yours colorfull Bootscreen?? thanks...
1.
As Example Cat taken from Wallpaper... resized and cut to fit 480 x 800 Pixel.
Insert via ResMAN...
Only Bootlogo changed...

... hello adfree watch the screen shot that you enclose ...
First Pic starts at:
0x21000
Bootlogo 480 x 800 Pixel
768000 Byte
Second Picture:
0xDC800
"Waitscreen" for Battery
480 x 800 Pixel
768000 Byte
Example attached... now with Cat and Flowers.
Questions...
1.
The other Pictures... which Resolution, where to find...
2.
At Start I see from T-Mobile String DEF...
chinese Firmware shows CHN...
Is this CSC settings? But nothing happens...
3.
What else is between 0 and 0x21000 ?
And 0x198000 - End of file ( I mean this as End CDABCDAB before String S8500)
Thanx in advance.
Best Regards
After I overwrote with FF for white color I found third Picture.
The blue handset known from Download Mode via Kies for instance...
Maybe something like that 100 x 250 Pixel...
I will try to find exact position and extract RAW. Now I know what it is...
Best Regards

Hi adfree,
How did you make step 2?
Disable MD5 Check at End of file...
I have modify my bootlogo with resman but when I try it with multiloader I got this message: Can not open: Rscr2!
I try rc2 low on resman.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10553753&postcount=40
Here you find answer about MD5 disable.
Best Regards
Thanks adfree, it's ok now I can use a modifyed rc2 file on multiloader.
But realy don't understand now how to modify boot image with resman
Can you try with this file and say me if it's possible to use please?
I convert it on bmp to use on resman.
Your Picture as RAW, ready to input.
Use HEX Editor.
Start is at:
0x21000
Resman can do the whole job for you, but I'm lazy... ehm busy now to write How To.
You need correct Rsrc2_S8500(Low).rxt...
I will try to make one next days... as my is not fully correct.
Best Regards
Ok thanks, if you can do a "how to" when you have the time, that would be great
The 3. Picture is the Download Mode Icon...
116 Pixel x 285 Pixel
The 4. Picture is if something goes wrong during Update... Errormessage...
176 Pixel x 80 Pixel
Need to check exact Resolution and Position... so I can make correct Rsrc2_S8500(Low).rxt for Resman.
Best Regards

Hello adfree,
Thanks
I do not have wave anymore for testing, but will keep it and test asap.
Hello Adfree,
I tasted it and I got this on the wave
Not ok but it's a good begining lol
Looks like smaller Resolution...
I will check if I made mistake.
Sorry.
Can you please attach your RC2 file?
So I can test it easier.
Thanx.

You could extract this file from *.FFS or grab from handset.
Maybe some tweaking possible...

I already tryed to increase the max. resolution to 8000x8000px for jpg a week ago but it didnt worked
This file exists 2 times and I flashed them correctly to the wave (tested with sTunes after flash), the limits seems to be set somewhere else...
The image sizelimit is also higher than 4096000 byte (or what it is) - about 10 mb.
I would have liked to tweak this setting to 200 or more and see but unfortunately there are not that many good apps to install.
<MaxInstallCount>
<NativeApp value="300"/>
<NativeWidget value="50"/>
<JavaApp value="-1"/>
</MaxInstallCount>
Btw, what does this Java value mean ? Could it be that it controls whether to show icon in Menu or not ?

@ st0rmi
Thanks.
Yes, via sTune this file is twice.
It seems writeprotected files are most in folder SystemFS... as Backup.
If you check via TriX Firmware files. Then Contents.xml is in *.FFS... maybe edit before flashing. Then changes in both files on handset.
Not tested yet...
@ rex4u
At the moment I have nothing changed in this file, so no idea what happens.
Maybe soon few tests...
Best Regards
@adfree: Yeah thats what I have done
I just used sTunes to copy the contents.xml back to my pc and view if the edited xlm are really on my phone because it didnt worked...
@adfree
No bro' I was offering my own suggestions to this configuration file.
It might allow us to install more than 100 apps in phone and show in Menu.
Second it might show Java apps icons in Menu.
My 2 cents
xml parser
please help me
a want to parser punker xml data base.

it's into the 'app counter' field, '-1' may be means 'unlimited' number of java apps installable, but I haven't read yet the whole xml... anyway if it is editable it's an interesting thing..
I saw that file a while ago while looking for something inside my phone (very special thing that made me to copy the whole phone)
there is a lot of interesting things but i never tried tweaking it
Maybe if someone have enough knowledge to add few new extensions and test them
Also removing some stupid limits would be awsome
Sorry i've no time to test that with you guys but would appreciate results
Best Regards
You dont need modif ffs or other just use pfs file to modif what you want and in real time direct phone flash pfs file and not have write protect problem
Just says Thank
Example file : dont give attention of boot img cause i dont take time to do it in 800x480 but its 400x240 then its make bug but with pfs file you can upload anything you want to change !!!
Good hack !!!
Maybe with this you can create dual boot or i dont know what a pro smoker can do, you can also try to put her rc2 or rc1 directory i dont try it !!!
Download example, in this one you can see SystemFS and Registry directory, off course you can put her all directory you want to flash pfs, using trix to modified or wave remaker more faster :
https://rapidshare.com/files/809973956/Circle.pfs
An idea its like you can make your one firmware with personal Widget installed and other idea welcome....Just take file registry and Widget folder on phone and put it on PFS
i can not open new thread

Hi all, using TkFileExplorer 2.4 you can see and edit Bada system files, in this thread I will report all usefull changes I will find and you could perform using this tool
If you find something other, you might write it here so we have all them collected in the same place
How to use TkFileExplorer:
-Connect your wave to PC with usb cable;
-Select USB Debug connection;
-Start TkFileExplorer and clic Connect;
-if the program fails to connect, try changing the COM port number in Settings;
-Make a backup of the files you change;
-...and try at your own risk!
Changing default browser brightness:
File: Phone:/Settings/Default/Registry/BrowserSettings.ini
Customize power on/off screen:
for configuration:
File: Phone:/Settings/Default/Registry/PowerOnOff.ini
for resources:
Directory: Phone:/SystemFS/PowerOnOff/
Change volume presets for calls, audio player, fm radio, video player, ringtone...:
File: Phone:/SystemFS/Driver/volpresets.xml
Cleaning themes preview images:
Simply clean the files in:
Directory: Phone:/User/Mass/Theme/Default/
Change camera settings:
File: Phone:/Settings/Default/Registry/CamSetting.ini
File: Phone:/SystemFS/Driver/CameraCaps/DevCamDeviceCapsNConfig_Primary.xml [only Bada 1.2]
Change Samsung LBS settings:
File: Phone:/Settings/Default/Registry/LbsConfig.ini
for using external bluetooth gps antenna, change BtGPS=1 (not tested yet) in:
File: Phone:/Settings/Default/Registry/LbsAppRegistry.ini
Usefull directories:
Internal user storage: Phone:/Media
MicroSD storage: Phone:/Mount/Mmc
Preinstalled apps: Phone:/Osp/Application/
Hey thanks a lot for the heads up! I just had a question... Can we really change the intro animation..? I mean completely replace it..? Or is that not possible??
Reply soon....
Hi all, I find the file /User/OspSys/LifeLog/Database/lifelog.db.
It's SQLite (view by sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net )
There are many information, calls, deleted messages (but only 100 chars).
I hope, it's information isn't send anywhere, because my wave is trying to connect once a day (it's maybe one of the widget)

hi, today I just gave a quick look to all files, but I think it's possible, in PowerOnOff.ini there are clear bindings to two .swf files and a startup / shutdown .wav sound contained in the resource path Phone:/SystemFS/PowerOnOff not sure, need to watch those files, I'll verify in next days..

Yes, you can change this too in Trix but in fact nothing change. Exp. you can't change "volume level" (exp. in MediaPlayer there is limit to 14 steps, if you change that to 15 steps and add one more <spklevel> and <earlevel>-so that there will be 15 steps, but nothing change in Wave, you can still able go to max. 14 steps in MediaPlayer) and you can't change that may mp3 playing miusic lauder as well as playing video, even if you copy and paste settings from VideoPlayer to MediaPlayer (only test that on speaker not on headphones).
In Registry\MainMenu_reg.ini you can remove any icons from the main menu (except SamsungApps). The file format is clear, I will note only that the system items will have MenuType=0, custom user applications - MenuType=1, SamsungApps - MenuType=2.
And, of course, make a backup before any manipulations with MainMenu_reg.ini
to be clear
adfree had made all those expermintes before & we already know these things
if there is something new please post it

Unfortunately I have not found anything like that using tkFileExplorer...
Assuming that replacing original browser it's difficult to do, source code is available (http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/reception_main.do?method=reception_list&menu_item=mobile thanks to sabianadmin) but the browser seems deeply integrated in the os files (also notice that Samsung Dolfin is not the open source browser Dolphin..): is there anyone who found in filesystem files the textures used by the browser GUI? if aren't cripted it will be possibile to change them for having a more usable GUI on our little screen (I'm thinking of upper/lower bars..)

I think the browser user interface might be in the file called BrowserAppControl.so which can be found in the SystemFS>Osp folder. All files in that folder are in .so formats. But they are RSA 1024bit signed. And they are not like other settings in phones which are written in html or xml. These files are similar to the .dll files on Windows. .so files are Linux format files.

i got the same error
im running the latest firmware s8530DXKB1/s8530OLBKB1
you have to specify the port you are using for connection from settings
in Phone:/SystemFS/Driver/CameraCaps/DevCamDeviceCapsNConfig_Primary.xml
you can change max ISO and max resolution parameters for phone camera, so you can set iso1600 or 8mp for photos, probably it is useless but it's still a hack

(on Bada 1.0.2 this system folder is missing so it's not possible..)
Yeah, I read it. Tonight I'll try and I'll let you know.
hello to all
i am a camera loving person, love to capture pictures.......
from last few months i am try to modify the Arc stock camera..
i totaly decompile the Semc camera apk file and read all the files very carefully in it
then i found if we change some thing in the apk file it will not take affect, and i found why it is
if we open root explorer and go to
System / usr / semc then here we found a folder named camera
inside the camera folder there are some files that have DAT extention
these dat files are the actual camera files all the settings are inside them
like if we want to change the compression level of picture then it will be done by modify these dat files
i try very hard to open that dat files but cant find the way to open it
can some one help me by telling me that how we can modify these dat extention file
i also attached that folder in this post
that have these files
I do believe that work on SE cameras files is very hard. Recently SE has promised that they will release their driver for developer under EULA license, so you best wait a little.
Here's the source: http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/wp/2011/09/28/sony-ericsson-supports-independent-developers/
until there is a fix for the high compression of for the se camera app, i suggest you give the app 'vignette' a try. You have the choice to save at super fine quality. Images are usually 5mb or more. Runs well on the Arc S. The only issue is the preview speed and the ui. needs fixing
Small tutorial on how to edit custom accents in WP7 by registry editing!!
THIS IS FOR THOSE WHO COULDNT GET A CUSTOM ACCENT VIA HOMEBREW APPS!!
(ESPECIALLY LUMIA USERS...THEY GET ERRORS WHILE SAVING CUSTOM ACCENTS VIA HOMEBREW APPS!)
before editing....get advanced config tool from Devstore7 or wherever and go to themes and select add new...youll b given a colour palette....select the colour and it will show u Hexadecimal code at the top (starts with #F)...copy that and go to Calculator('calc' from run) and change the view to programmer...select Hex and enter the code without '#'....now with the code pasted select the Dec and it will give a 10 digit code (starts with 428, 427 or whatever)....this code is the main thing....NOTE it!!
Now go to registry editor (i use WP7RootTools by heathcliff74)
The path to theme and accents folder is (Local Machine\Control Panel\Themes)..Enterthe themes folder
Now u get 3 folders named 0 ,1 and AccentDisplayName
Below that u get two files named Current Accent and Current Theme
If current theme value is 1 it represents dark background. If it is 0 then white background
Now if u want a custom accent in dark background go to folder 1 or if u want it with a white background got to folder 0....and then enter the folder ACCENTS located in Folder (0 or 1)
You will be given numbers from 1-10 or so....u can check the name in AccentDisplayName for which digit represents which colour.
Then select the respective file in folder 1 or 0 and edit its value to the 10 DIGIT CODE u got from calculator. Save it...RESTART!!
Now go to themes...u get a custom accent...u can also change the name in AccentDisplayName....Enjoy...Feel Free to thank me!!
This method still requires interop-unlock and has been known for sometime and if you are interop-unlocked there is a much easier way to make it work using Advanced Configuration Tool 1.5
This method is quite old, I've been doing it for like a year now or so. But I must warn you. Changing anything wrong with the themes in registry can make your phone get broken in software and will need a hard reset, so double check when you're changing the codes and adding/removing values of the registry.

read the second line....for lumia users..advanced config tool and other such homebrew apps wont(mostly) work...so this is for dem
Gg, figured that out a couple days ago after messing up my phone and having to reset it 2 or 3 times lol.. I reset it with this 7.8gb phone dump I made also. Takes like 3 hours or so per reset/restore-from-backup
Very helpful tutorial!! Thank you!
But this doesn't change the color for 3rd party apps and also not for their Live Tiles.
There is already a thread up, where is also explained how to change it that it also works in 3rd party apps.
I used this method and my third party apps changed just fine. I'm actually quite pleased with it! I got "Base Converter" from the marketplace to do the converting between hex and dec on the fly and now I can change my colors anywhere. I really wish someone would figure out how to get beyond the restrictions of the second gen devices, but until then, I guess this works.
