Speaking of firmwares, there's a feature of the LBook firmware that I like: when I lock the keyboard of the device, it goes to sleep, and there's an image of a sleeping cartoon cat, complete with the ZZZ. Now I like the image very much, but was curious about whether it's possible to replace that image with one of our own every once in a while?
I'm also curious about startup and shutdown screens - is there a simple way to change them, without resorting to installing new programs and mucking about in code? Last edited by citac; 10-28-2010 at 09:24 PM. Reason: eek the typos! |

Yes Citac, it is possible to change the screens but you will need a program..
I am curious.. I've never seen this cartoon cat and I've seen a whole bunch of 2010 Lbook firmwares.. which one is the one with the cat? |

I've never seen the sleeping cat either, but it sounds adorable. Like an old-school Tamagotchi...

but sadly no "lock screen" which would be more useful for "personal branding" (kind of an exlibris-stamp in the reader).
I wonder if this could be somehow achieved with the software that IS available... |

Checking the "About this product" gives me the following information: "Firmware version: V2.00CN.090509." I'm guessing the 09 stands for 2009. What's the image on your device? Edit: here's the photo: Last edited by citac; 10-28-2010 at 09:23 PM. |

Wow.. that's a _really_ old firmware.. Save the file, I don't think anyone has it anymore.

I was preparing for an exam, and couldn't get Central European characters to display, not even in a pdf file. Someone recommended getting the Lbook firmware, I found this one, it worked, and I didn't bother changing it. If it ain't broke, and all that... But I'd really like if I could get to that photo and maybe add a phone number in case it ever got lost. Or if not that, then replace it with one of my own. I watch it like a hawk, but you never know. |

So if I updated, I wouldn't lose the cat? I'm kinda partial to it, since I can't have a real one due to allergies of other family members.
