add your name to inbox

[leetut]

here i changed the word 'inbox' to 'lee's inbox' in messaging
using N95-1 v3.0




copy the file msgs.r01 from Z/resource/messaging
to C/resource/messaging, if there is no messaging folder on C/ create it
using x-plore hit key 8, then menu, edit chars, and insert mode
insert a new digit just after the word 'inbox' e.g. 'inbox1'
press menu, turn insert mode off, choose edit hex, infront of the letter 'i' is the number 05 05
change it to 06 06 (as youve added an extra letter)
and increase this for every extra digit added,

at the very bottom of the file change 2b 01 'to' 2c 01
(also increased by one for every extra digit added ),

do this again to add up to 3 extra letters, always counting in hex
e.g. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f 10 11 and so on

when you add the 4th letter do the same as above but also change the 18th hex from the top,
from 3a to 41
(you only need to do that for the 4th letter)
(update via THYMOX, when adding the 8th letter change the 18th hex to 49)

follow that process until you have enough letters for your name, then rename it all to whatever you want, you need to reboot phone to activate any changes

Very nice! I think I'll have a go at this.

infront of the letter 'i' is the number 05 05
change it to 06 06 (as youve added an extra letter)

at the very bottom of the file change 2b 01 'to' 2c 01

So you change 0505 to <length of inbox name> in hex? So 0505 becomes 0606 if you've increased the length of the name of the inbox to 6 chars... but the 2b01 change... does that have to increase by the same proportions?

So, for example, say I wanted to change my inbox name from "Inbox" (5 chars) to "Grant's Inbox" (13 chars), I would change my 0505 to 0d0d... would I have to change 2b01 to 2c01 or to 3301?

[leetut]

you got it, there increased by the same proportions,
2b would be 33 after adding 8 extra digits
and 0505 would be 0d0d

the 05 bit is just telling us that 'inbox' is 5 digits, and the last bit of the file is a total number, for every byte (letter) added to the file the second from last hex needs to have 1 added to it

also the 18th hex needs to be changed from 3a to 41
when you add more than 4letters (dunno why)
mite even need changing again the more letters you add
i added 6 and just had to change the 18th hex once (at the 4th letter)
if you have any probs let me know and ill experiment with it a bit more
if you make a mistake then messaging just wont open,
just delete the file and start again

Any progress figuring out if any other characters need editing to add more than x characters? I tried to add 7 characters ("Grant's " - note the space at the end) and it didn't work... for me.

THYMOX, glad you pointed that out, when adding the 8th letter, you need to change the 18th hex value to 49, then it works,
as youve got the same fw as me ive done it for you and uploaded the file saying 'Grant's_Inbox' here:
