Z6-17R modded firmware released ( author: yan0 )

[zjole]

Have you got a Linux OS installed in your computer?If so you can mount the smg files as loopback files in Linux.

I don't know if there's any way to extract squashfs images in Windows.Maybe it's possible to do it under cygwin.

Great...Thanx,Zjole..

[keaglez]

So we can do the same method as E2 CG, right?  Thanks, Zlole...

[zjole]

Not exactly.In z6 the OS is in squash images while in e2 it's cramfs.But they both can be mounted as loopback files.

[keaglez]

Yes, i just know that... In E2, i can mount E2 smg by script, but it cant mount Z6's, because it used squashfs...

i found something ineresting on modmymoto.com

"hey guys i dnt kno how this worked but it kind of did i followed these steps but instead i took a e2 skin the ezx file and changed it to mytheme.phm and it actually changed the color on my phones skin. try to play around with it you never kno use these steps b4 doing that To install skins,create a folder named "mytheme" in your TF card.Copy the "skin"(if any) there and rename the .phm file came along with the skin to mytheme.phm.If everything is done correctly,you'll see the newly installed skin in the phone's theme menu.
Thanx to zjole and yano from motohell i figured this out

I didint notice but all i got was a mix of all the skins 4 sum reason i dnt understand why that would happen.

What happens is that a 4th skin appears with no name and then depending on the skin you chose b4 chosing that new one that will b the color u will mainly get and the some parts will appear as the cmcc color orange so its kind of cool.

edit i deleted the my theme folder and the phm file and i still get the skin 4 some reason."

i don´t understand everything but i think he has found a possible way to install skins on Z6

@keaglez
codegroup   mountpoint
cg36           /
cg43           /usr/setup
cg44           /usr/securesetup
cg46           /usr/language
cg52           /usr/data_resource
These are the squashfs images.To mount them:

Code:

mount -t squashfs file.smg -o loop /mountpoint/path

@V3N0M
Sorry,I don't get his point.Seems a little confusing for me.
I'll edit the .ini and .phm file.I'll post them here.All you need is to do is to copy them to the mytheme folder in your TF card.
I dont have z6 so cant test it.This will only be a example.dont expect too muck.

[keaglez]

@Zlole, thanks...

[V3N0M]

ok i tested it and it works a bit but i don´t really get the skin the colors are not changing at all. but it works so i think we can build on that.

[zjole]

Reboot is needed if you apply a skin in e2.I dont know if it's the same case with z6.

[huatz84]

My colors are changing but the colors are messing up.It's like rainbow colors..I put the phm on my favorites/others and change the skin path to mmc/mmca1/mytheme.I use Ubuntu theme from my E2..I think I should edit the iconres...

[V3N0M]

thank you huatz i´ll try it on your way
and where did you change the skin path?

[keaglez]

Edit the phm files with text editor... I think the same way as we did on E2...

[huatz84]

Yeah,that's right.U can use wordpad to change the path...I've posted my phm at M3..Go and check,bro...

[zjole]

I've uploaded a z6 skin from stock 44r.I edited phone_p.ini and common.ini so it's a little different from the stock skin.

As I stated before,I don't have z6 and can't test it.so there might be problems.

Installation:just extract everything to the "mytheme" folder in your TF card and apply it.

BTW:only works for this monster by yan0.
