Where Can I find the Background Image??

27 replies · 4,070 views · Started 30 September 2002

G'day all

I want to keep the background that came with my phone, well actually I want to chnage it but I want to keep it for later.

No I had to install efilemanager to get the Video Recoder working in english, so while ive got the efile manager installed, anyone know where I would find the Background.

Anyone with SeleQ in particular, coz you can search with that app cant you?

Eitherway if someone could tell me the directory where I could find it, twould be most appreciated.

Thnaks in Advance.

Well I can conclude only 1 of 2 things

1. EFileManager is shit, because I cant see it anywhere in that directory you siggested, or on Z:

2. Its not in the directory you pointed out

im tiopping its more likely no.1, since im guessing your probably using SeleQ.

I was wrong! Its Z:\system\data\euro.mbm

And it stays there forever 😊

So you can change anyimage you want, and still have the image in Z drive!

Again used seleQ 😊

When you select another backgound, then the image is stored in

c:\system\data\backgroundimage.mbm

Still efilemanager is crap! 😃

yes it is
But it takes up less space then Sele

And since I dont have a credit card to buy either
I need to grab the image now while I can before my Trial Period evaporates to the sun.

Then again I could just format the phone ever 21 days after the apps run out. But I couldnt be stuffed reentering all the contacts over and over.

Thanks again Mate 😊

What i did was, in the Image Folder, I create a folder called "Wallpaper" and move all my fav image in it.

I always switch my wallpaper whenever depend on my mood. No need to use SeleQ or Efilemanager appl for it. Just do it from your phone.

Then backup all your image via PC Suite. Delete those you hardly use it into your PC, that's to save memory space. 😉

anybody know where the registry folder is ????

bcos if we can delete the registry or the log for the seleq or efilemanager we can install the program and use it over and over

You copy euro.mbm to the images folder of C: and use the system setting to set the background with the image! Then you delete it from the images folder! So there you go...

lol you wont believe it but that Euro.mbm file isnt actually it either
I dont even have that dile according to Efilemanager

I found it though, in that directory as
apac.mbm

maybe yours was called euro because if I recall from another thread
all the phones have different backgrounds depending on the region there from. Mine is a mountain with a lake in front of it. Other peoples were some guy painting the floor or some crap etc.

nahh...

maybe for Asia pasific region it will be APAC

for europe it will be Euro

and for any other countries i dunnoo

can u post the screenshot of the Euro.mbm here i wonder how it looks

if u hav time cos i hav the mountain one

Yeah.. anyone knows which one is the registry folder??

Bah this whole projet is just irratating me now

Its in MBM format, how the hell do I view MBM formats
Paint Shop Pro and PhotoShop wont recognise it

Damn it all, this is a lil more complicated then it should have been.

So I did not go to bed today! Nevermind, I will sleep tomorrow!

I tried to find a MBM Windows viewer but no luck!

The only option is to view it on the phone until someone prooves me wrong! 😊

oh well I have plenty of room left on the phone still
I guess ill let it stay there and take up its Crappy 60kbs.

Now finding the registry sounds like a worthy project.

No, there are too many files that I have to check with a text editor, but i need my backup files that are on another computer! I will try to search with seleQ but I don't think that it is anygood!
