Skinning Onda VX858LE

Dancemammal · #1 (**permalink**) 18th Oct 2007, 1:16 am

Has anyone tried to update the VX858LE, I find the theme for the VX878 is better looking (Black vista style) than on the 858, both have the same screen size 320 x 240, it would be possible to export the images from the 878 and import into the 858 without changing the layout.

Does anyone have a .lst file for the 858le, I have edited most of the onda.lst to work on the 858le, but may need help with a few little items.

Cheers

I've done it with my Onda VX858.

For skinning Onda VX858(LE) you need the latest version of RKLogoEdit version 1.0.0.17 which is in Chinese, I will upload it soon, anyway you can take it from Onda/BBS (It have been down the last 2 days).
This version comes with LST files for Onda players integrated, then it's not needed of LST files.

The only problem it has is is Chinese so you have to change some parameters in your PC OS to work with Chinese characters, here is an explanation how to do this Allow Chinese characters

Considering that you are good because I/you/he/she don't pass us your firmware?
I pray you.

Sorry to inform you that RKLogoEdit v1.0.0.17 Chinese is only compatible with Onda VX858 and it doesn't have a LST for VX878... then to extract its panels is still needed the appropriate .LST file, this surely is available in Onda/BBS but this site is still closed for maintenance.

I am looking to keep most of the current 858LE screens, but to change the nasty music player and radio screens to the better looking 878 style.

Using v1.0.0.17 I can dump out the bmps for the 878, and I can view most of the 858LE (but will need a little work to create the full .lst file), If anyone has a .lst fiel for either of these models, then that would help.

Cheers

Dancemammal ...
You'll have a problem with music screen, beside of this screen is composed of several small pieces (about 10 or more)... 878 uses in some areas font colour WHITE and 858 have this portions in BLACK then you won't see texts and you won't be able to change it as it comes in the code of the firmware rather than the screen itself.
In Onda/BBS some zhiyu0212 upload a firmware for VX858 no-LE using a Vista motive which looks very good. it's in version 00.00.0017 which is not compatible with VX858LE.
Unfortunately Onda/BBS is still down due to Chinese government cut Internet for some reason.

I have installed your firmware but it is not very stable only and then the icons they change.
The menu is as before unfortunately equal.
Would I like to help you but does it jam unfortunately, how come?
can you tell me which version of rclogoedit you have used?
