[Guide] Open Other.artwork on 2.0 firmware

[killian]

After struggling myself trying to work out how to open the Other.artwork file on the 2.0 firmware I have decided to put together a small guide.

Edit now for Windows and Mac Scroll down for Mac guide.

The Other.artwork file contains http://www.modmyi.com/forums/skinnin...dit-phone.html. Though some are out of date now on 2.0, most importantly for me in the black bar across the top on the lock screen.

Windows

Required files:
iPhoneShop2.0
iphone20-artwork.py Though must be saved as "iphone20-artwork.py"
Other.artwork from your iPhone (you will have to have a jailbroken iPhone and have ssh installed. The file can be found in /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework)

Create a new folder in C:/ called iphone
In this folder create a new folder called "img"
Download all the required files from the links above and save them to C:/iphone.



Open iPhoneShop


Click Install Python
This will open a download window in your default browser
Save and Run the file


Use the default settings










Now that Python is installed copy the script "iphone20-artwork.py" to "CPython25\Scripts" (Note keep a copy in "Ciphone"to)


Go back to iPhoneShop and you will see that the install Python button is grey and the Install Python Imaging Library is now active


Click "Install Python Imaging Library"
This will open a download window in your default browser
Save and Run the file


Again use the default settings








Now we need to tell windows how to find Python
Right Click "My Computer" and select "Properties"


Select the "advanced" tab


Click "Environmental Variables"


In the second view, "System Variables" scroll down and select "Path".
Once highlighted click "Edit"
In the popup that opens scroll to the far right.
Add the following text ";CPython25" without the quotes that is.


Now we need to tell Python how to find the scripts
Open regedit (start run and type in "regedit" without the quotes)
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.5\
Right-click on "PythonPath" and choose to create a new key.
In the right hand panel right click your new key and select "Modify"
Type "CPython25\Scripts" again without the quotes
Click "OK"


You can now try going back to iPhoneShop to extract the files but I was faced with an error message when selected Other.artwork from the drop down. The developer is planning an update in the near future.

So I will continue without using iPhoneShop.

Edit: If you do use iPhoneShop to extract your files the images will be in the format other-extraced-###.png these will have to be renamed other-###.png for you to be able to use the import details below. (Thanks Strider)


Open Command Prompt Windows key + R and type cmd or Start - Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt

Change to the directory c:/iphone


Now to export the files type:
python ./iphone20-artwork.py -export Other.artwork ./img


Hit enter to run


All the images have now been extracted to the folder "C:/iphone/img", you can edit these in your favorite image editing tool. Make sure that you save the images back to the img folder overriding the old files.

Once you have changed all the files you wanted to we have to import them back into the Other.artwork file. So head back to Command Prompt.

If you closed command prompt head back to Ciphone
then type:
python ./iphone20-artwork.py -import Other.artwork ./img Other.artwork


Hit enter to run


Now the Other.artwork has your changed images, SSH the file back to /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework (I would suggest making a backup of the Other.artwork file before you override it)
Once uploaded reboot your iPhone to see the changes.





Mac

Required Files:
Python 2.5
Python Imaging Library
MacPorts
iphone20-artwork.py Though must be saved as "iphone20-artwork.py"
Other.artwork from your iPhone (you will have to have a jailbroken iPhone and have ssh installed. The file can be found in /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework)

Start by creating a folder in the root of your Mac called "iphone"
Put the "Other.artwork" file and "iphone20-artwork.py" into the new folder
Create a folder in "iphone" called "img" (without the quotes)


Install MacPorts using the default settings:














Install Python 2.5 using the default settings:
















Install Python Imaging Library using the default settings:










Now we have to register the Python Imaging Library
Open terminal and Type:
sudo /opt/local/bin/port install py25-pil


Now we should have the Mac ready for exporting.
Open terminal and navigate to the iphone folder


Type:
python ./iphone20-artwork.py -export Other.artwork ./img


Hit return to run


All the images have now been extracted to the folder "iphone/img", you can edit these in your favorite image editing tool. Make sure that you save the images back to the img folder overriding the old files.

Once you have changed all the files you wanted to we have to import them back into the Other.artwork file.

Open up terminal
Make sure that you are in the iphone folder as before
Type:
python ./iphone20-artwork.py -import Other.artwork ./img Other.artwork


Hit enter to run


Now the Other.artwork has your changed images, SSH the file back to /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework (I would suggest making a backup of the Other.artwork file before you override it)
Once uploaded reboot your iPhone to see the changes.






If you would like is the Other.artwork file with the black bar transparent drop me a pm with your email and I will send it to you.

Many thanks to Dave [IBODP] and Kevin SideApps

Yeah, it doesn't work...

[killian]

Is the folder you are trying to export the images to created? Have you changed to the correct directory before running the script?

[flamestar]

the problem is if u modify some images, u have to keep them the same size as the original one.~~it is not easy~~sometimes

[jags828]

im on windows followed steps and i get no module named PIL.Image any help?

i am pretty sure its saying that i need an alpha layer on my image...but honestly, i am NOT an imaging person and i am suprised that i even got this far, but as of now i need help because i don't know if its something in the python script, although it just so happens that the 2 files that i made were other-5 and other-6 which is where it got the error on, so i kind of ruled that out. can someone guide me on this error please

Regards,
Strider

EDIT: It looks like the layer that i had my image on was a "Background" layer and when i looked at some of the other images they had "Layer 0" so i just made a new layer and named it "Layer 0" and copied everything that was on the "Background" layer and pasted it on the "Layer 0" layer and deleted the "Background" layer. After that it worked fine, now i just gotta test to see if the image saved

[jags828]

i still get the line 40 no module PIL.File error followed the steps exactly any help? or can i just send a zip file to somebody that can import i just want my theme back! thanks for the help.

[redrider218]

second link is down

[lopbird33]

second link is down

http://davepeck.org/software/iphonea...20-artwork.txt

Save as and change .txt to .py

[killian]

Yeah, it doesn't work...

Can you check that you have an image called other-0.png? There should also be a total of 497 images all of matching dimensions to the originals, if you have any more or less it wont work.

Yes, email me the files and i'll take a look. I'll PM my address.

when you use the program instead of command prompt it saves the files as other-extract-###. i Ran into the same problem and i figured out that it HAS to be named other-### or else you will get that error when you try to rebuild the .artwork file through command prompt.

Thanks Strider, I'll update the guide to include this.

[apathy96]

Do you guys know what number the home screen background is? The all black one? I changed Other-5 and Other-6 and apparently those are not them. Was wondering if one of you all knew which one to change.
