Change start up and shut down animations
the things you will need to work with is:
1. msu
2. p2kc ( p2k commander)
3. 2 pictures in gif format sized 176 x 220
4. USB cable for moto razr
first off this guide is pretty much identical to the verizon modding guide for this subject so if you have done this with a verizon v3m then you will have no trouble with this one.
1. select the pics you are gonna use for your start up and shutdown. make sure they are in GIF format and sized at 176 x 220. to big or to small and the results wont work. also there is premade ones on motox.com ( http://www.motox.info/showthread.php?t=5952 )You can browse the list for some good ones and if you dont have or know how to convert your pics to GIF format just signup with moto x and in the link which is a forum post your pics and ask nicely for someone to convert them and they will do it.They are usualy cool about making them and will also make you a lcd image , screensaver, and couple wallpapers.
2. once you have your pics ready open MSU and connect your phone. Your esn should read when it finds your phone. Then you can launch p2kc ( p2k commander). Once you have that open it on the right side drop down click p2k mobile phone. It should start auto loading your phones files. When files are done fully loading you should see under file name the letter A. click on it and it will show a list with the top 3 bein ( BREW , MOBILE , MOTOROLA) click on motorola , shared , and then pictures. When you have done that look for these 2 files in that list ( customer_closing.gif & customer_opening.gif )These are your start up and shutdown animations. You wanna save these to a file so if you open you phone files on the left side and copy them to folder on the right side with C:\ being in the drop down you will have a back up.
3. Once you have done that have your pics you selected ready and formatted and read this closely. YOU MUST NAME THE START UP PICTURE CUSTOMER_OPENING & SHUTDOWN PICTURE CUSTOMER_CLOSING. THERE IS NO NEED TO ADD THE GIF EXTENSION SINCE IT SHOULD ALREADY BE IN GIF FORMAT. ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF P2KC WITH THE LIST IN THE PICTURE FILE GO AHEAD AND DELETE THOSE 2 FILES JUST TO MAKE SURE YOUR NEW ONES COPY OK. THEN ON THE LEFT GO TO WHERE YOU HAVE SAVED YOU NEW PICTURES AND CLICK ON THAT FOLDER TO REVEAL YOU NEW PICS. HIGHLIGHT THE ONE YOU CHOSE FOR SHUTDOWN THEN CLICK COPY ON THE RIGHT HAND CORNER FOR P2KC WINDOW. ONCE IT LOADS YOU CAN DO THE SAME FOR START UP PIC ( I GO SHUT DOWN FIRST JUST BECAUSE THE ORDER IT APPEARS ON THE LIST WONT CONFUSE YOU)
4. After you have done that click the resart button and you can safely disconnect your phone. It will take a second to go back to main screen but once thats done you can test it by shutting your phone off and turning back on and walla it should display your new animations.
