Tutorial to make your own Loading image IGO Nextgen

**Kajoe** · 23rd February 2016, 07:25 PM

Hi all;

I saw that many people want's to have their own startup image in IGO Nextgen. I have made a tutorial for it. It is very easy and it works in all cases with Nextgen. See added PDF file.

Have fun with it. Kajoe.

I believe you can replaced the *.bmp without compressing it or putting it back in *.zip file such as data.zip (I know it works for Primo and when I did it a while back for NextGen) Also for NextGen, since you only have ability to have only one *.bmp you can only have it in landscape or portrait but not both. That is if you use landscape bmp (ex: 800x480), it will clipped top and bottom when shown in portrait; and if you use portrait bmp (ex: 480x800), it will clipped left and right, when shown in landscape. For iGO/Primo you can have two *.bmp, one for landscape and one for portrait and they will showed correctly.

I could not find the iPAQ31x Image Explorer application so I used this: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

For some reason I can't get the image to change. I did exactly what was said in the PDF. I am using "the_skin_by_pongo.zip". The original image also doesn't entirely look like the loading image but I can't find the same image in the data as I see on the screen of my device. Could someone tell me which image I need to replace in this skin? I did already change thisone: the_skin_by_pongo.zip\ui_nextgen\res\the_dark\mdpi\loading.bmp but nothing happens.

Hello,

thanks to Kajoe for great instructions - good work!

I use NextGen_NNG_9.18.27.687519. My loading image is controlled by the UX utility called gpsandmore_generic.zip

Picture Nr.1 – load screen with applied gpsandmore_generic.zip

Picture Nr.2 – load screen - deleted utility gpsandmore_generic.zip

Dear Boki_Srb,

Ok ok I'm silent ...

But adding pictures over my little dress does not work to make me a spoiler, the way you created it. It's maybe a browser I use, but I tried it yesterday, but it did not work.
