I put the customize_upgrade.xml on tpa\preset\custom, supposedly to change the original white background to black when you press the volume keys (when the screen is black) but it didn't work.

This are the contents of the .XML file:


Doesn't work, any ideas how to make it work.

P.S. Activity menu does change with this customization, but not the display hour

Wrong code pal. Suppose to be like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customization>
<mmi>
<activity-menu>
<activity-menu-horizontalorientation>false</activity-menu-horizontalorientation>
<activity-menu-horizontalorientation-setting>true</activity-menu-horizontalorientation-setting>
<activity-menu-neweventstyle>true</activity-menu-neweventstyle>
<activity-showbookmarks>true</activity-showbookmarks>
</activity-menu>
<settings>
<sleep-mode-clock>true</sleep-mode-clock>
</settings>
<security>
<certificate>
<name>Halmer</name>
<type>x509</type>
<storage>java-3p</storage>
<datafile>halmer.cer</datafile>
</certificate>
</security>
</mmi>
</customization>

Edit this using notepad. When "save as", use the encoding "UTF-8", not ANSI.

looks intresting wot does it do wot screen does it change?

It's for the sleep mode clock. In this mode, the background will be black and the clock will be white (the original was white background with black clock).

kk sounds good

Thanks bimasakti85 it worked now.

Now i have some questions:
1. What's for the file called "customize_upgrade.xml.@", originally I was instructed to put that file in tpa\preset\custom and the "customize_upgrade.xml" in tpa\user\other with the code I posted above. The activity menu changed but not the clock
2. Is is possible to display the clock in the background instead of having blank the screen? (like in K300)

customize_upgrade.xml.@ is a shortcut that points to /usb/other/customize_upgrade.xml which in turn allows you to "inject" or add code to customize.xml

i dunno what you mean about Q2 clock in bkground etc, if you mean on standby screen you can make or d/load flash wallpapers to make it look like this. plus you need to set your fone up to use flash standbys in the first place, you can find out >>HERE<< where nkls posted his amazing discovery about hacking flash content onto w810, its a carcking tutorial better discovery and its about the same skill level to get up and running as you have been doing with making the sleep clock inverted.
if thats not what you on about pleaser explain Q2 in more clear terms,
regards

EDIT; ah think i know what you mean, like keep the sleep clock showing all the time instead of going off to sleep!. well i dunno if its been done but i know it will be possible, maybe need to wait till breakin to 810 flash is ready for us. soon i hear. but tbh i dont know for sure, would it not be kinda poinless running ure battery out for a clock thats in your pocket? just a thought, lol

If u want to transfer file to your phone FS, tradisionally we use XS++ and FAR, which consume more time and risk. With customize_upgrade.xml.@ putted in tpa/preset/custom, just put customize_upgrade.xml in folder "other" in your phone, with file u wish to copy into the phone, and it will be copied to the FS. Some files doesnt work with this method, e.g if u want to transfer customize_upgrade.xml to tpa/preset/custom, mostly it wont work.

That's not possible for right now. Maybe you want to do some research for it ?

basically, to have the inverted clock, create a file customize_upgrade.xml


and place it in /tpa/preset/custom.

At bootup, the phone will process it and delete it and you have an inverted clock.


---------
you can speed up the process by using a shortcut:
instead of customize_upgrade.xml, create a file with the name customize_upgrade.xml.@

* this file needs to be READ-ONLY, so with FAR you can set the attributes of the file (in-phone). *
Windows can do this too, but FAR resets that attribute everytime, yeah it's a bug..

Then u need to place your customize_upgrade.xml in the OTHER folder, that's it.

@topicstarter: the sleepmode-clock tag, shoud be IN the mmi tag

Thanks for the tip on the .@ trick. I'm not interested in doing that since I don't plan to keep changing lots of things on my phone.
Your EDIT is right, I meant that the cell screen wouldn't go totally black, instead the clock will be shown with no backlight present (as I said in the early SE models K300, K750)

--

Noticed that when the clock is inverted, when you press any keys on the cel, the inverted clock would appear for a sec or less and then return to the main screen. Was this present with the original white background. I find it a little bit annoying, is it possible to avoid the clock showing up when any key is pressed (excluding the volume keys which of course serve you to check the hour)

Any comments on this? Does it differ from the normal behaviour? (Yes, I know it's old but I found it interesting)

Has the behavior changed?

sound interesting... any news about it?
