Update!
w810 cid49 now supports patching!
apply this patch, and you will be able to set the flash images as wallpapers the same way as you do with any other image!


Old method: for cid50 phones
Hi everybody!

I've done some researches on if it's possible to use flash images as wallpapers on w810.


the key to this is a file called BG_IMAGE_STANDBY_USER_DEFINED.@, which is located in /tpa/system/bg_images/. This file contains the info of where the background image is stored. If you replace this file with a shortcut to a .swf file, the phone will use that file as background!
Notice that you might need to restart the phone one or two times before it will take effect.

This file will be changed every time you change background image, but if you always has a "delete and copy" tag in customize_upgrade.xml (read this topic), you just need to restart your phone twice to reactivate it. (second time you can restart before you enter your pin code)
Just make sure that you are not using the theme's wallpaper when you restart, you need to use a picture!

To change flash wallpaper, simply replace the file that the shortcut points to with another flash file, and restart your phone.

The shortcut can be uploaded with the customize_upgrade.xml method, just don't include ".@" in the tag.
It should look something like this:



There is also some other files that can use flash files the same way:

SHUTDOWN_IMAGE_SEMC (/tpa/preset/system/settings)
Shutdown image. Will stop automatically after 30 sec. Key activities can also be registered by the flash file!

STARTUP_IMAGE_SEMC (/tpa/preset/system/settings)
Startup image. Will stop when mid key is pressed. Key activities can also be registered by the flash file!

BG_IMAGE_STANDBY (/tpa/system/bg_images/)
This file contains the info of where the theme's wallpaper is stored. Can be used the same way as
BG_IMAGE_STANDBY_USER_DEFINED, just that will be replaced when you change theme.

BG_IMAGE (/tpa/system/bg_images/)
Don't know really. Is present in the phone, but I haven't managed to do anything with it. :S


Bugs:
While this isn't actually supported by the phone, it has some bugs. The flash file sometimes "disturbs" other activities on the phone:

* When using the activity menu, and scrolling down, the activity menu background + tabs disappears, and
only leaves the text from the activity menu on the desktop. (Just with horizontal layout, not vertical)

* Sometimes the other objects on the desktop (status bar, time, date, operator, softkey text) disappears for a short time.

* When making calls the screen gets messed up.

* Sometimes the walkman gets disturbed. (hacks in the playback, occurred when I tried to use a flash menu as wallpaper)

* The frame rate is lower than in flash menus, and when viewing flash images in the file browser.

* The phone doesn't show who's calling every tome. This can be solved by tapping the on/off key once. (thanks to qwerty12!)





Summary:
This is the files you need to copy to make this work (then restart phone twice):

Some flash desktop .fla files mad by me. (Click on the screenshot to download!)
(The .swf files can be found in the attachment and here)


enjoy!

Files in attachment:
2 x BG_IMAGE_STANDBY_USER_DEFINED ( pointing to:card/../image/wallpaper.swf and usb/image/wallpaper.swf)
customize_upgrade.xml (with the delete and copy tags)
5 x Flash wallpapers made by me.

Haha I love you (in a straight way )

Thanks

Ahhh Finally!

I'v been waiting for something like this... or... actually i have been waiting for THIS!

very nice nkls hope we can find a way to fix the bugs you mentioned.

Great! Thanks.

Is the shortcut standby or desktop because I am getting confused . the shortcut points to standby but you say Desktop at the top?

Oh, sorry I read the post fully. I still cant understand why its not working for me. I'm going to try replacing Desktop this time, not standby.

well.. nice post.. i can forsee it.. this is gonna be one big thread!!

oh.. n THANX A TON!!!

Glad that you like it!

Here is another flash wallpaper I've made:


Download!


@qwerty12
How could I miss that
it'll soon be standby everywhere.

sweet!! if i use this and remove time and date on the desktop, it would rock!

finally it's Available ------->you know when you try to put aflash file as wallpaper it says"Not Available"

Thanks

so basically what i do is replace the BG_IMAGE_STANDBY_USER_DEFINED shortcut files in the rar to the phone in /tpa/system/bg_images/. The customize_upgrade.xml

then just add wallpaper.swf to the card/phone? reset to work? What if i want to go back to original desktops?

You do that, and when you want to use an original desktop you just change wallpaper the normal way.

and when i want to change back to flash wallpapers, i redo the shortcuts again?

Yes. If you use customize_upgrade.xml you just need to restart your phone two times.

Nkls, any chance of a dark wallpaper with no vibration after every minute please or how to modify it myself (I got flash decompilers and + flash CS3?

I keep my phone in my pocket and if it keeps vibrating at school, I'm going to get confinscated (spelling)

BTW: This took me 20 mins deciphering the shortcuts

COOL! ... thank you for the trick ...

so it is time to start sharing .swf wallpapers. I got these ones from a w610:

Click to view attachment
in the w610 these swf wallpapers show the song being played by the Walkman ... I wonder if this will work with the w810i... !

Thanks frajo

No, the phone doesnt show the song currenty playing

I'm just wondering - how often do those softkey texts disappear? Is it noticeable or a very small glitch?

Thanks!


I will upload the .fla file to my first post!
deciphering the shortcuts? What do you mean? (could be my bad English also... )



Great! But they doesn't show what song is being played


Sometimes they flicker, sometimes not.

I think it is becouse that in the w610i, the media player (walkman) is some other place, i think that with a bit of modding the .swf file. it might work ...

Thanks

I mean putting the files in the right files, I kept getting confused. I started from the customize_upgrade.xml shortcut etc . I should have said that better. Bad English? You sure as hell write better than me and I live in England

Thanks a lot nkls. I modifed your fla to take out the vibration. It works for me but being a noob I dont know if I done it right

time to update your sig than qwerty

Creating the shortcuts? Try my SE Shortcut Generator (link in sign.)!

And I think it's very hard to do something wrong with that fla file!

my bad bud......I think I need some sleep

Me too . I kept getting up early for my exams but now that they are over, I can get some quality sleep



No, figuring out where everything points to . Although that program is nice, thanks . I never had a need to use shortcuts on my K750 because of patches but now shortcuts are paramount on a W810.

True, but I dont know any flash syntax,scripting that sort of thing . I just changed StartVibration to StopVibration . I'm trying a different layout for the wallpaper at the moment but I can see why you done yours sideways...

I think I'll hold off on this tweak until the bugs are sorted....

I understand

I like it better sideways!

PS. You should remove the whole "if(TIME_SEC eq 1)fscommand2("StartVibrate",5000,500,3);" line.

I thought so (no I lied, to me it fits in a lot better sideways )

Thanks for the tip

hi...i am new 2 dis fourm....i cant get it right can any1 plzzz tell me wer 2 place d different files in dat flash wallpaper.zip......

Here is my wallpaper mod.

Thanks to nkls for the original fla file

BTW: This is the desktop mod prepared and set up for you.
http://rapidshare.com/files/31111507/FS.rar.html

Set theme and use theme wallpaper. Restart phone twice.

Could you upload it as .rar, becouse my just opens it and shows a BIG pic of it without downloading the file

@qwerty12
Nice

@DKTiger
Press Ctrl + S ! (or File > Save as... if you do not use firefox)

I allready try that, it saves, but it saves kinnda strange becouse my pc and my phone cannot open or play the file..
and yes i save it as .swf

@DKTiger
You are right...
archive and upload qwerty12!

Could you create such, that show a now playing music in desktop?

@marcell99

DKTiger is working on it!

I think it is becouse we have FLASH installed,
its the same when you have quicktime installed, then i can't download mp3 extension files from here

BTW. i don't have so much modding experience to find the source for the now playing AND i don't actually have so much time, i'm going to sweden this week

worked for me! great!!!!

now someone would try to change the layout.xml to take out the clock and date.
will the little bell (left of the clock) still appear with this layout change?

someone good with flash can make a "led display" that go scrolling the date, hour, s, b, v ( like images, not numbers to the last three)

there is something wrong!

i guess it's because of the custom_upgrade. now i lose my shortcuts!!! they are erased each time i start my fone!!!

Done, sorry



Thanks mate

@gibarotti (sorry for the hyperlink, the rich text editor seems to want to copy it like it is)

The customize_upgrade.xml (in this case) has nothing to do with shortcuts. I think aSwede could do the scrolling thing (aMenu was great!)

But the flash wallpaper does mess up in calls.

The icons seems to flicker when i charge and when i remove something from the statusbar. (Silent, keylock, handsfree)

Could be too much for the phone. I could try removing status info?

Yeah, that would be perfect with your wallpaper that shous signal and batt life

and also with removed operator logo (and removed clock and date)

I mean in the flash theme

Removing oplogo can be done through Layout.xml (I have no idea how) but Search does and clock and date I dont think can be removed (There is a patch for K750 which does that) but hidden through Layout.xml.

aaa, but it could be possible to just remove the Statusbare via the layout.xml ?

I dont think so as the layout.xml doesn't regulate the status bar at the top but I think date + time can be hidden on the desktop through the layout.

"What does this points to then? only the standby /clock/date/notes?
