E900 GRAFFIX TUTORIAL

I have translated this to the best of my abilitly, (using google translate for a couple of hours!!!) please bear in mind i do not speak french, which is what this was originaly written in, but at the end of the day it works and i'm now happy.

- Go into the s3 converter - check that "all Firmware" is ticked - click on open s3 and select the firmware which you want to modify. Then click on convert to bin and choose the directory in which to save it
- The progress bar under the convert button will start moving.
- PS: at the end of conversion SFE will not say "finished or anything" it will just disappear.

- click on browse and to find the Bin which has been just converted
- then tick all the boxes (2) and in Size of phone display put 240x320
- click on start Search…

- Once finished this window will open:

- Find an image which contains a pink contour
- click on Select and you will have a hand cursor to select the transparent color which is the pink in background of the graphic.
- Then click on OK, normally it saves your progress automatically in the .SDF, if not it is necessary to click on "Save Result"
- To check it has saved .SDF properly > go in the program folder of SFE and you have a folder named "firmware" look in it and make sure you have "name of firmware".SDF inside. e.g E900XEFJ1.sdf

- Open and find your firmware.bin (open File/) "It is possible that the software requires you to open .SDF. If it does load the last one you just made for the firmware.

- Cool, you've now opened your Bin finally!
- Go into the Firmware editor: - double click on the part wished… images,sounds ect
Here will be the images - select the image to be modified…
- THE IMAGES WHICH YOU MODIFY MUST HAVE THE SAME DIMENSIONS BUT NOT FORCING the SAME SIZE (size)! You can release some space by deleting unwanted pictures from the place when you replace some, example: cherries, the lame footballers ect (if they were Spurs we could leave them but the're not so they can go. lol)…

- PS: Especially do not replace the images that look "saturated or badly distorted" if you do your future patch will generate a flash error!!!

- First of all, if while clicking on create patch you have "NO MEMORY" popup, it is that Memory Size/used is not respected:

- /used "must be lower than "Size/" as on the example! Thus when you modify always keep an eye above…

- Choose which kind of patch… ie for this we want "Create patch for picture"
- fill "PATCH NAME" and details
- click on "…" to choose where to save
- DO NOT TICK "CREATE A FULL PATCH" you'll be there for ages.
- and finally click on CREATE PATCH. In general the ssaving of the patch only takes some seconds (because it is saved in the .SPL)
- Once again you will not get a completed message or anything to let you know it's done.
… thus do not remain 10 years waiting for a message…

- Go to the Patches tab:
- Tick "View all Patches and Data in Patches"
- click on OPEN & APPEND PATCH, to find your SPF you just made and then select it.

- Tick your patch and double click
- You will then have the information which it contains "to check over" if you have all the modifications of dated offset images-1086… ect… And finally click on "Save to S3 File" and choose the destination of your s3 file and wait for conversion.
- Once finished you will still not have a message of completion, if you do not see any more bar progression that is it done!
- Then all that is left to do is flash your patch to your phone with Optiflash and look at your wonderfully new graphics!!!!!!
