Create Backup and Modify sample files

To preserve the original Files, I normally make a copy of the folders and make modifications to the copied versions.Shown below is the Branding – Information & Soft Key Folder containing the original folders and the copied version

file location2

  • Cross.gif
    • This is a animated file
  • Manifest.xml
    • this is the file that allows the package to be generated
  • Info and Branding.pdf
    • Simple instruction manual explaining how to modify the files

 

To Create Branding that contains a different Gif File ( or image file)-

  • Create the Gif ( or image) , and adjust the xml file to match the name of the Gif( or image)-
  • Remove the old version from the folderExample-

Example

  • I have created a simple gif file ( called tie.gif) and saved it into the folder , removed cross.gif and edited themanifest.xml file ( changed cross.gif to tie.gif)-
  • [NOTE: the manifest must be changed to read/write and the filenames are CASE sensitive]-
  • To remove read only ( and allow editing)
