Angry Can you change the 'cloud background' - pin lock entry

having followed the Quick Install procedures, and having read the associated threads for this topic, I have found the following which I would liek some help on please:

1) used the WebOS Quick Install to patch - Change Lock Screen Background, under Styling mods.

2) After sending the png file (a simple all black, correctly sized file) I then check that this has been sent to the correct path - /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/images/backdrop-firstuse.png and retrieve it

3) After retrieving, it is indeed the right file - as it is all black as I had sent it

4) So I know the file is what I want it to be BUT -

after reboot of Palm Pre 2, when I am asked to key in the pin code, the screen background is still the annoying 'blue cloud' background !!!

Can anyone help with this please? Many thanks

i don't have Pre2... but try look on this image on Pre2:
/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.firstuse/images/background.png

maybe on webOS 2.0 is used this image for pin screen, i have it on me Pre 1.4.5 too, but is same as backdrop-firstuse.png...

Try rename your image to background.png and send it via WebOS Quick Install menu Tools/SendFile to above path. (You may backup original file before replacing with menu Tools/ReceiveFile)

Well done k3dar! That was it - the file and path name you provided on the Palm Pre2 is the one to change the background for pin lock, many thanks for your quick reply

/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.firstuse/images/1.5/background.png

Should this be the same for Pre2 on 2.2.4 ?

I've updated:
/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.firstuse/images/1.5/background.png and
/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.firstuse/images/background.png

but still have the clouds, on 2.1.0 I could change the background fine, not now for some reason on 2.2.4

Hi Guys,

Did any one find out where the background.png hides on a Pre2 under 2.2.4

I would love to change that cloud image.

Your help would be appreciated.

I have just tried to change it. When I went into screen and lock and changed my PIN, it changed the background but not for the actual unlock screen.
