Quick question guys.

 

I have my Z2's hard drive hooked up my computer and I am about to upgrade it using the Z3 image. Unfortunatel y because of my coputer config, it is a real pain in theass to connect, so I want to only do it once if possible.

 

While I have it connected, unlocked and the new image loaded, is there a list somewhere of all the things you can tweak/change and which directory they are found in?

 

I.e. I think I saw a post that you can upload backgrounds and boot screens directly to the HD before reinstalling it. Also there was an 'overlay' file that you could edit that contains the white text that overlays the bootup image. I believe there was also a 'better' version of the samantha voice.

 

I have searched the forums, and while I had seen these before, I cant seem to find them again.

 

Anyone up for putting together a sticky of editable files/directories on the HD?

 

Thanks guys - I am amazed how helpful and enthusiastic everyone on this forum is.

Well there goes all my faith ;).

 

I mucked around with the default backgrounds, and the copyright overlay files - worked pretty well, though for some reason it only shows 5 of the 10 files I uploaded to the BG/PREINSTALL folder.

 

I found the folder for TTS, but alas know not of a replacement TTS voice to put in there (I heard Samantha sounds like a Femmebot).

Make sure that your added backgrounds in the preinstall directory are all 24bit BMP and they should be 352kb if they are 500x240 pixels. Also, the AVIC will only see the first 20 files added to this directory. You may need to remove some of the factory installed images.
