LG VM510 filesystem innards, tricks, and treats

[Sparky]

dunno about the email problems, i use webmail and don't go thru the built-in app.
As far as the menus go, you can get apps you use to the front home menu.
Here's how.
(shows how)
good luck!

The Rumor Touch allows selection of user wallpaper, but it only rotates and crops when in landscape mode. Internally it uses two files. You must set these separately.

Once you unlock the RT, you can see that there are two files:

/setas/wallpaper.bit (240 x 400)
/setas/wallpaperLand.bit (400 x 240)

You can replace these two files using BitPim

Note: The RT may not notice the files were updated.
Power cycling may be necessary.

The file format is uncompressed little-endian.
The header is 16 bit width, 16 bit height.
The 16 bit (5-6-5) color data follows.
The file size is 192,004 bytes.

#define RGB16(r, g, b) (((r>>3)<<11)|((g>>2)<<5)|(b>>3))

Here is a utility that converts either JPEGs or PNGs to LG raw format bit files.
It only accepts 240 x 400 or 400 x 240 images.

lgbits prettypic1.jpg wallpaper.bit
lgbits prettypic2.jpg wallpaperLand.bit

(This is the actual executable, no install.)

@bigsupersquid: You wouldn't have a clean VM510PV5_COM?.nvs (from LGDownload, in the Model\VX9100\LOG dir) to post, would you?

beautiful. thanks tons! I hadn't found a utility like that which used the right resolution, and didn't want to write my own. great addition to this thread with the specifics on the wallpaper and the converter utility!

sorry about the .nvs, my handset is newer and runs on PV7.
I'll post that one, maybe it'll help?
