HOWTO: Creating a Carrier Logo

For everyone out there having problems creating your own logos, I thought I would try to list the steps as simple as possible, to hopefully help everyone figure out how to do it. I will assume you use Hex Workshop (www.hexworkshop.com) since it is the easiest to do the conversion, and that you have Windows so you can work with Paint.

OK here we go:

1. Create your image in whatever program you want that can save bitmaps. Make sure the dimensions are 160x90 and it is in 8 bit color (256 colors.)
2. Open the image from step 1 in Paint. Under the Image menu select Flip/Rotate. Select Flip vertical in the dialog, and click OK.
3. Under File, select Save As... Give the file a name, and beside Save as type, choose 256 Color Bitmap. Click Save
4. Open Hex WorkShop, and open an existing CarrierLogo123.pdb.
5. Click before the first byte, and then from the Edit menu choose Select Block. In the dialog that follows put 6a beside Block, and make sure Hex is selected. Click OK
6. Some of the bytes will now be highlighted, from the Edit menu choose Copy.
7. Now in Hex Workshop, open the file you saved in step 3
8. Click before the first byte, and then from the Edit menu choose Select Block. In the dialog that follows put 36 beside Block, and make sure Hex is selected. Click OK
9. Some of the bytes will now be highlighted, from the Edit menu choose Paste.
10. Now, without changing the cursor location in the byte display, from the Edit menu choose Select Block. In the dialog that follows put 400 beside Block, and make sure Hex is selected. Click OK
11. Some of the bytes will now be highlighted, from the Tools menu choose Operations, and from the sub menu choose Byte Flip. In the dialog that follows, beside Treat Data As choose 32 Bit Unsigned Long. Under Apply On make sure Selection is chosen and click OK.
12. From the File menu choose Save As... and name the file CarrierLogo123.pdb
13. HotSync to your phone and enjoy!

I hope this helps!

Thank You so much.

I am Hex Editor challenged beyond belief.

Those instructions were so clear that even an idiot could follow them.

Fortunately---I found an idiot who was able to help me..................

Again, thanks.
