Hacking Theming EZ Flash Omega DE?

[SkyDX]

Hi GBATemp!

I just upgraded from a regular Omega to a Omega DE, for my regular Omega I used a tool called Universal Skinner to theme the firmware and apply my own skin, are there any tools to do that for the Omega DE too?

As far as I know, none exist unfortunately. It's still possible to do it manually but it's a time consuming process.

Hmm I see, yeah I saw something about having to compile things manually? I guess I could ask on GBATemp if anyone has a compiler setup and provide them my theme asking if they are nice enough to compile something for me

I can get your theme compiled if you want.

The DE kernel contains extra assets for the extra settings menu.

means update offsets with one official posted.

Hmm thanks for this although when I add this to my definitions.xml I still get an error about Universal Skinner not being able to read the file correctly

That's the ezkernelnew.bin I tried: Kernel 1.03 and firmware 4.0

for DE all firmwares share a same bitmap offset, and of cuz they have different checksums. so just ignore the warning and choose forcing layout is ok.

Hmm alright but even if I do this it doesn't load correctly:

1 click force layout
2 choose EZOmega DE__FW1_K1.02
or just clear all the other offset

the offset you load is an omega one

Okay thank you, deleting every other offset block worked! So if I modify the firmware with this now I can safely flash it afterwards?

EDIT: That worked like a charm
